my uh my mom is from Cuba and my dad is from the Dominican Republic and um that means that they are divorced is what that means it doesn't work out okay they came to America with the same idea just a little bit different you know my mom got here and she was like oh my God look at all of these opportunities and then my dad got here and he was like oh my go look at all of these opportunities this is not a place to be married this is the land of opportunities it's very interesting
to be as Hispanic as I am and then to look this white my name is Marcelo Andre ernandez Gonzalez but I look like Timothy shalam okay I look white dude I look like a white tick tocker I look like my parents make a bunch of money and I make even more money just with a tripod in my room just every day it's what I look like I look white dude I look like I tell my mom to shut [Applause] up I could never do that I could never do that I have a Cuban mom that
escaped communism okay the only reason I know that is because she told me every morning so I don't know how you woke up in the morning but for me it's good morning Marcelo have a great day but just remember I free you she a scary woman in my house you can't have a bad day when your mom escapes communism you can't have a bad day you get home from school you're like Mom I had had a bad day at school she's like what happened what happened that was so bad did somebody steal your freedom today
I don't understand it's tough dude communist parent she's scary it's stuff when your parents are immigrants they make you feel bad about everything you know it's their job that's what they do and I never knew what I was going to tell my kids you know what I mean what am I going to look at my kids and say it was tough it was tough when the Uber didn't get there you probably don't even know about Uber pool do you no but now with the [Music] pandemic your boy got a struggle story okay are you kidding
me I cannot wait to look at my kids and go you don't know what it's like we didn't have toilet [Applause] paper and I'll lie you know what I mean I'll lie my parents probably lied to me you know I'll lie I'll tell my kids I'll be like you know the pandemic was from when I was 3 years old to when I was 25 years old then one day you know your kid will look at you and he'll go papy I don't like the taste of the [Music] soup that you make for me I can't
wait to look at my son in the eyes and go oh yeah well I couldn't taste for 22 [Applause] years so maybe eat the soup know I grew up with those people my whole life in Miami and then I went to college in Cleveland Ohio which is where the whites have a stronghold right now and it was interesting I got to school and I remember being one of the only Latinos there and I took their little Spanish test and I tested it out it was too easy and then I thought to myself like because they
said you don't have to take a Spanish class I thought to myself I've never been the smartest kid in any class in my whole life so I took a Spanish class in Cleveland Ohio and it was the best decision I've ever made oh my God I walked into the class the teacher's name was Megan Thornton okay I walk into this class she's like Ola estantes I was like she sucks this is going to be awesome she got the first kid to introduce himself to the class he came up with so much confidence he was like
ola mebre s Jake and Yos soy from Cincinnati and uh Miko Favorito is pizza and I swear to God my teacher looks at Jake and goes Jake that was incredible something came over me I don't even know what happened all I know is that as soon as Jake stopped topping I went watch this she picked me and um the only way I can describe how this felt I like have you guys ever seen a jazz [Music] musician like when the beat is just too [Applause] strong she was like Marcelo poor faor I was like [Applause]
marand the Miami and then Megan goes did you guys hear that that is your new teacher okay W this is his class now I will say this I am proud super proud of being Latino but one thing where I prefer a white person is in the cockpit of an airplane I need a white guy I want his name to be Jeff and I want him to be 75 years old white guys will lie to you and I like that a white pilot will fly you into a hurricane and tell you that that's a good thing
he'll go we're going to get up there to 38,000 ft and we will be flying into a category 5 storm but don't worry it's going to give us a bit of a tailwind and we're going to get there we're going to get there 15 minutes early okay let's go Captain Johnson I had my first Latino pilot the other day I swear to God this is all he did right before we took off he goes ping I don't even think he pressed the button I swear I think he just grabbed the mic and went ping boom
hello guys this is your pilot Alfredo Rodriguez and I just want to let you know that this is going to be a difficult flight okay all right thank you guys so much I appreciate [Music] it
