Alright Dingus, I know you're geriatric by this point, and even in Hawaii it is passed your bed time. Give it a break already, and let Bob Hope RIP a*hole.
Grabriel is genuine af. Met him when I was in 7th grade. He was on stage for an extra hour and stayed 4 hours after the show talking with everyone. Didn’t rush anyone and spoke to each person as if they known each other for years.
@@memyself898 it is. The fact he abducted 2 girls within a few hours of eachother from the same busy lake in the middle of the day. People saw him tho and it lead to leads to who he was.
When I was a teen I quickly realized when I was on a bus and smiling or just being polite weird people gravitate to that, that’s why everyone in NY have no eye contact it’s fear of nutters.
Where I’m from, a suburban town, it’s normal to smile and greet people. But whenever I travel to bigger cities I notice when I do it that I also magnetize weirdos. I don’t do it anymore in other places.
I love how Fluffy is such a kind man and how he makes himself "available" to his fans. That said, it's not rude to establish boundaries. If I'd been him, I would not have agreed to the dude's offer to make me dinner in the first place, regardless of his medical issues. I'd have told the guy that dinner couldn't happen, but offered to send him an autographed DVD or anything else he might like. That's establishing a boundary ("No, you're not my bud, you're a fan") while still being nice.
What's kinda sad to me is that if it this had concluded at the "lets go get some BBQ" bit, this would've been a really damn touching story about a real nice dude who just seems to not quite understand social cues and stuff.
You would have ended up being his stalking victim. You clearly don't understand how obsessive they are, and how so far out of touch with reality they are. You offer them ANYTHING, and they take that as a sign you're interested
@KCK If you even given a shitty cassette tape that's been wiped across a homeless bum's ass to an obsessive fan, that will still increase their obsession with you and distort their reality even further. Those people have serious issues and needs therapy or something.
5:50 All jokes aside Christina is spot on. Some people take any polite interaction as a green light to dive on you like a fumble. If you have to be a little rude, don't hesitate. Or you could just pick your nose and act like you're eating a booger while they're talking to you, that should turn them off.
@@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea i think it has to do with Americas being very rude, so just keep being rude because once your nice its like a different thing and people don't understand why your being nice, in Canada we are all ways nice and no one is going to think something of it
@@emko333 we’re not talking about normal ppl….stalkers & creeps are perversions meaning they’re not normal they can’t take certain hints or even if they do notice shit they act like they don’t so they can have it their way
No dude, people definitely need to be rude with people like that. Especially women. The slightest act of kindness with those people is seen as a deep connection.
You can establish boundaries without being rude. While Gabriel was trying to be "nice" by agreeing to dinner with the weirdo, that was a mistake. I would have politely refused the offer of dinner (just wildly inappropriate) but offered to send him something autographed (appropriate).
@@kck9742 you obviously just dont understand the mentality of people who fixate on other people. I had a female friend who smiled and said hi to a guy (literally just gave a casual smile and said "hi"). He followed her home, started sleeping in her back yard and knocking on her window in the middle of the night, and then somehow got her number (land line) and started saying violent, threatening twisted things to her. one of them was like, he "wanted to break every bone in her body so he could take care of her." Or something very similar. He thought it was romantic. The problem is, they're already obsessed before any interaction even begins. So the slightest communication (eye contact, smile, saying hi) is seen as conformation to the delusions they have. Your best bet is definitely being rude and short. I know it sounds horrible but I'm tellying ya..
FieryReign so that's not sad to you? A man nearing his 70s is so lonely and fucked up thst he forces himself out of his death bed to travel cross country to be around a comedian that makes him feel like he has a friend and someone that cares? His family & friends obviously don't enough to stop this behavior. Thats a sad thing man.
FieryReign Lol what's hilarious is everyone's shitting on you, yet your intentions seem more pure than anyone else's. Or at least more honest. I completely agree. Sympathetic and empathetic people will look at a mentally ill person and talk about how tragic it is, and then they'll just move on with their day. Pat themselves on the back for how good of a person they must be just for feeling bad. I mean I'm not any better. I have spent my time giving lunatics the time of day, realized i don't have a strong enough resolve to make any sort of impactful change, and now I'll ignore the fuck out of a raving homeless person any day of the week. And I understand that it's a tragic situation, but I won't fool myself into thinking I'm not a piece of shit for doing nothing about it. Empathy is good to have, but it's fucking worthless to the person still suffering with their illness and no one helping them. I'm a real piece of shit for it. So are most of you, and if you were honest with yourself you would realize it instead of flaunting your empathy.
Fluffy is so nice he put on a free show in my hometown during his all time height of fame. Was so fuckin cool. He even asked us if we wanted to hear his old material and we all replied with a resounding YES
He really seems like he's a great guy. Genuinely a nice guy. He makes you happy watching how nice and positive he is. Like Shaq. They always make me feel happy to be American. Is that weird?
Diceman has it right. If you feel they're spending too much attention on you, rudely disabuse them of any desire to continue. Telling the guy "sure, you can cook me dinner," absolutely encouraged the attention.
the fact the he took a fan, out to dinner is amazing, he has every right to say 'youre making me uncomfortable now, youre making me stress that youre a stalker, please stop'

You're projecting your opinion onto someone who wrote what amounts to a paragraph. While I don't think you are wrong in intent. Your jumping of conclusions and saying people like you etc. Is nearsighted and unfounded specifically in this instance. On that note I believe a certain level of paranoia is warranted when it comes to any situation, Violence is the norm not the other way around. (Concealed carry FTW). Judging situations like these are the go to move,paranoia and fear an acceptable response. That being said you can't let it rule you once it affects your everyday life and you live in a constant state of anxiety stress..... You are not living. The alternative point to your own is that not everybody can simply live outside of this state. For some it is their reality. Abusive relationships, bad neighborhood, bad childhood etc. The commonality between these being that this behavior is usually a response to ones environment. It is a mentality not easily escaped as it is normally a well founded one. it is a survival mechanism. What you are referencing specifically is when this behaviour borders on pathological. And in that case you are 100℅ right. Being a victim, living in fear is not the correct response to the vast vast majority of situations. it's when people's ability to judge is fucked up (trauma) that this type of thing occurs. While I abhor the victim mentality and those that get there trauma free. I believe this to be the minority. Most people go through some shit to get to that point. Your single minded view point lacks empathy and understanding of human nature. Those people don't need your condemnation, they need therapy.
@@larrycoleman740 Larry Coleman " people only understand from their level of perception" Your level of perception exists on one level of analysis... Your own. In an idealistic utopian world what you say is correct. we as a species should strive for it, because while we would never be able to fulfill such an ideal. That connection, that ability to trust is what has gotten us where we are today. But it is ignoring the reality of the matter. War, violence, hierarchical groupings, and discrimination are the fundamental reality of humans. These exist on every level of analysis. It is the 'human problem' Society as we know it the ever changing answer.(good or bad) The depths of human depravity and the atrocity's we have committed are boundless in nature. Look at history, hell look at a murder t.v show. Fear and paranoia are a natural response. Fear of the unknown is how our species survived. It is something so intamatly tied to human nature, to ignore it is synonymous with being used and abused by others. Why do you think laws exist. In this world the only person you can ever truly depend on\ trust is yourself. I can empathize with your shit experiences and your view, But for the fact that you insist on making assumptions of others and their ideals when you literally know nothing about them or their thoughts. You can not group others so simply and presume to know how they think and act. You have done this with abandon. Youre posts unfounded because you are projecting ideals you presume others hold. Rather than making a categorical encompassing statement. you insist that I and others think, feel and act a certain way, when you have no way of actually knowing. The fervor and obvious anger with which you write only proves my point. I do not think you even took a second to think through what I wrote previously much less try understand it, as we agree on most points. You did not take the time to organize your own thoughts much less form them into a cohesive argument. For these reasons I bid you good day, And good luck with your unreasoned existential hatred.
Actually, it usually has opposite effect on crazy stalker types. They think being mentioned in any kind of way is positive bc it shows celebrity is thinking of them. Example..Guy who stalked that female Power-Ranger actress said seeing her testify against him in court was greatest moment of his life, eventhough she was sending him to prison. He said her even talking about him proves she's been thinking of him alot. It's creepy
You can go too far the other way though. I'm very friendly but know how to be assertive/establish boundaries. And that's not "rude." Some people, especially women, have the idea that they can never be friendly and take any friendliness displayed towards them as a pass.
The stalker was waiting for the meet and greet after this interview.... All jokes aside it kills me to see Gabriel talk like this.. I’m too used to the happy guy, I forget he has issues.
Yeesh...he's still letting the dude come around him? Too nice, Gabriel: you need a restraining order for this guy. Being older doesn't give you a right to stalk someone.
It would be hard to get one. What is he going to tell the judge? That the guy constantly goes to meet and greets and his shows and tells him he wants to cook jom dinner? None of what he says is actionable, and it's not like he goes to his house.
I was a RA narc in college and an unfortunate side effect of that is stalkers. When kids go to college they lose the structure their parents created for them as the learn to become self sufficient and learn to structure their own life. College age is also when most mental illness first make their appearance. So this unawareness of illness and sudden lack of structure is a terrible combination for a lot of kids and this results in a lot of stalking and obessessing in college. As a RA i worked with police on half a dozen stalking incidents and they did not help a single one. Police almost have no legal authority until its too late. Gabriel might have a better chance of getting a restraining order by being rich and famous.
5:35 You're suppose to be mean! She took the words right out of my thoughts. People need to know when they are violating your space or making you feel uncomfortable. It's not rude to express that. After they don't respect the boundaries you set, then you get mean and rude.
Fluffy is a great guy to his fans, I met him once years ago, after a show at Cobb's in SF, my wife and I were outside talking to a friend of his and he walked out and hugged us both and we told him what a great show he had put on and he was so genuine. It's sad that he has to deal with a stalker and has to be on guard.
I love this guy's comedy. It's sad this had to happen to him. There are a lot of sick people out there. Bless you, Fluffy! I hope you never have to deal with stalkers ever again.
Love what Christina said. BE RUDE. I understand that as a celebrity with a big heart, he feels an obligation to polite, at the very least cordial, to his fans. But when a fan crosses the line and creates a situation that is uncomfortable or potentially unsafe, that obligation is OVER.
I saw some weird stalker shit at a Ron White show a couple years ago. Some unhinged lady yelled out "I love you. I want you inside me." Ron froze on stage with a look of terror on his face when he heard her voice. He shot a look to security and they escorted her out. The sound of her voice and the look on his face haunts me to this day.
Franz Kafka Felipe Esparza is a comedian who is the “my friend Felipe” guy from Gabriel’s early comedy. Because it has been documented that Felipe does silly shit to make people laugh, i made a joke about this being a Felipe prank.
"Hey man, can you get better? It's getting uncomfortable."

Too bad Gabriel wasn’t direct with him and just tell him “hey man you are coming off as a stalker and if you keep showing up at my shows I am going to have to get the police to speak to you. I am a celebrity and we have to be careful about people like you, I have no idea if you are obsessed, or crazy, so with all due respect, please leave me alone.”
ISK MUSIC as u already heard him say he didn't show up n he immediately started stalking someone else so him telling him to not buy a ticket WOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING
I'm just glad the guy's never tried to hurt Fluffy (to our knowledge). Conan's stalker sent death threats and broke into the studio while they were filming an episode of Late Night.
Makes me so happy to know Fluffy is comfortable with these guys, otherwise he likely wouldn't have shared. Precedent has been set for Fluffy's return to the show and I'm stoked.
"I never want to be rude, I never want to be mean." I've had 3 different stalkers. One of them tried to kill me more than once. Not being rude and mean is NOT an option when you're dealing with people like that. You have to be mean and rude and protective of yourself. Not being rude with a certain type of mentally ill folks can get you killed. I got a restraining order and a gun permit on the same damn day because of my stalker. I figured if one didnt work the other one would.
I ended up having a stalker because they were stalking my ex while we were dating and he started stalking and harassing and threatening me. Unfortunately for him he was unaware I’m an attorney and the moment he issued a clear threat in a text I had the police on the line and had him arrested. He was charged with assault, criminal harassment, and extortion. People like this need to be dealt with ruthlessly. They don’t understand any normal signaling.
Scary part about being rude is that you have no clue what their reaction is going to be. It could make them back off and cuss you out and then it's done. Or...it could make them ramp it up and suddenly you're in more danger than before. Very much depends on the context and situation and your surroundings.
Can I please stan the "women get hurt because we always have to be polite" type mentality? We get raised to not cause waves. We get told to just agree and be nice. Hell no. To both women and men! Be selfish. Be safe. Don't humor those you feel are unsafe. Fuck that!
I just wanna say that we writers are 'precious' about our writing, bc this is the first century wherein they're actually getting credited/appreciated. For years professional writers were being paid/used/ignored as if they didn't know what they were doing, even though a production can be made or broken by the script alone. It's obvious that Hollywood has been running dry for ages, and Netflix has some good ideas, but the real gold is where creativity has the reigns, not the potential views or ad revenues. That being said, can't wait for more Mr. Iglesias!
That’s scary because if he declines him and is mean to him this guy will probably go to one of his shows and shoot it up. That’s a predicament, get a armed bodyguard.
I've had creepy old men want to be my friend before (i'm in my 20s) and i always got such weird vibes from it, even from the ones who came off like genuinely nice people, something about it just sketches me out. Always go with your gut feeling. It happened to me while i was in the hospital recovering from a surgery and i felt so bad for the guy because he was also sick, just like this, i didn't want to be rude...It left me with a feeling of guilt but also anxiety like something wasn't right. Never saw the guy again after that. Still wonder if he had family or anyone there for him... But also was sketched out by him. These kind of interactions leave a mark on you, you can't forget them, because they're some weird combination of a predator preying on your empathy, and a sad person who is really lonely and needs help.
My son always tells me that when he is on the bus looking at his cellphone he always gets people who talk to him like they know him. He has told me that he doesn't want to be rude but just in case only responds "yes" or "no" until they realize my son doesn't want to talk to them.
Ohhh... Poor fluffy 😢. Look people, protect yourselves.... A true fan is never going to be threatening and intrusive.... I want to see you all happy and healthy and doing your thing 😘💕 Thank you so much for entertaining me. Happy holidays to you and yours.
Every one knows that many proffesional comics are mean, unhappy people. Gabriel is truly one of the nicest, happiest ones. Remember what Billy Joel said '' You can never argue with a crazy man?'' . Nothing sinks in. That was so,so nice of Gabriel to take him out for barbeque. No matter how crazy he should have been more appreciative.
They're absolutely right. I'm a friendly,laid back guy by nature and some take that as invitation to be best friends immediately and latch on to that. Sometimes it's sad bc they just don't know how to make friends and are lonely but just as often it's creeps who are probably working some angle.
@@acrylicgodoy low hanging fruit humour mostly, but like i said my opinion of him has changed a bit. Still think he does quite a bit of that :P but at least now i know a little bit more of the man behind the jokes
OMG! Yes !!! BE RUDE if that’s what it takes ! My husband has been in law enforcement for 28 years and we have teenage daughters. He continually instructs them on public safety, being aware of your surroundings, etc. He has emphasized the fact that you owe politeness to NO ONE, if you feel you are in the slightest of danger, and to ALWAYS trust that “gut instinct” !

@@larrycoleman740 Christ, dude, have you ever heard of punctuation?
Holy shit. Triggered dude? Damn. You need to calm the fuck down.
What was said by me and the woman in the video is actually facts that most self defense teachers tell you. That's why I pointed it out.
@@larrycoleman740 Larry Coleman "
people only understand from their level of perception"
Your level of perception exists on one level of analysis... Your own.
In an idealistic utopian world what you say is correct. we as a species should strive for it, because while we would never be able to fulfill such an ideal. That connection, that ability to trust is what has gotten us where we are today.
But it is ignoring the reality of the matter. War, violence, hierarchical groupings, and discrimination are the fundamental reality of humans.
These exist on every level of analysis. It is the 'human problem'
Society as we know it the ever changing answer.(good or bad)
The depths of human depravity and the atrocity's we have committed are boundless in nature.
Look at history, hell look at a murder t.v show.
Fear and paranoia are a natural response. Fear of the unknown is how our species survived. It is something so intamatly tied to human nature, to ignore it is synonymous with being used and abused by others. Why do you think laws exist.
In this world the only person you can ever truly depend on\ trust is yourself.
I can empathize with your shit experiences and your view,
But for the fact that you insist on making assumptions of others and their ideals when you literally know nothing about them or their thoughts. You can not group others so simply and presume to know how they think and act.
You have done this with abandon.
Youre posts unfounded because you are projecting ideals you presume others hold.
Rather than making a categorical encompassing statement.
you insist that I and others think, feel and act a certain way, when you have no way of actually knowing.
The fervor and obvious anger with which you write only proves my point.
I do not think you even took a second to think through what I wrote previously much less try understand it, as we agree on most points.
You did not take the time to organize your own thoughts much less form them into a cohesive argument.
For these reasons I bid you good day,
And good luck with your unreasoned existential hatred.
Hopefully that lunatic listens to all the podcasts gabriel does, so he can finally catch the hint.
Actually, it usually has opposite effect on crazy stalker types. They think being mentioned in any kind of way is positive bc it shows celebrity is thinking of them. Example..Guy who stalked that female Power-Ranger actress said seeing her testify against him in court was greatest moment of his life, eventhough she was sending him to prison. He said her even talking about him proves she's been thinking of him alot. It's creepy
Or catch his next meal.
The guy probably thinks Gabriel is talking about someone else
He won't care
You’re the stalker aren’t you
It’s okay to assert yourself and your boundaries. You deserve to feel safe and respected
Only thing bigger than this guy is his Heart!
Her advice is SPOT ON!!
I don't know her name, but that woman has some solid advice about being rude.
You can go too far the other way though. I'm very friendly but know how to be assertive/establish boundaries. And that's not "rude." Some people, especially women, have the idea that they can never be friendly and take any friendliness displayed towards them as a pass.
Her name is Christina Pazsitzky.
@@kck9742 I don't disagree but 1 way can make people not like you, the other can get you killed. Err in the way of not getting killed.
It's called keeping it real
@@maxwellmckinley637 And she's a bitch.
The stalker was waiting for the meet and greet after this interview....
All jokes aside it kills me to see Gabriel talk like this.. I’m too used to the happy guy, I forget he has issues.
Gabriel after he makes you dinner let me bake you a cake.
Yeesh...he's still letting the dude come around him? Too nice, Gabriel: you need a restraining order for this guy. Being older doesn't give you a right to stalk someone.
It would be hard to get one. What is he going to tell the judge? That the guy constantly goes to meet and greets and his shows and tells him he wants to cook jom dinner? None of what he says is actionable, and it's not like he goes to his house.
I only liked this because it would’ve made it 69 likes
I was a RA narc in college and an unfortunate side effect of that is stalkers. When kids go to college they lose the structure their parents created for them as the learn to become self sufficient and learn to structure their own life. College age is also when most mental illness first make their appearance. So this unawareness of illness and sudden lack of structure is a terrible combination for a lot of kids and this results in a lot of stalking and obessessing in college. As a RA i worked with police on half a dozen stalking incidents and they did not help a single one. Police almost have no legal authority until its too late. Gabriel might have a better chance of getting a restraining order by being rich and famous.
5:35 You're suppose to be mean! She took the words right out of my thoughts. People need to know when they are violating your space or making you feel uncomfortable. It's not rude to express that. After they don't respect the boundaries you set, then you get mean and rude.
Sonya Willis, 👍Well said!
Fluffy is a great guy to his fans, I met him once years ago, after a show at Cobb's in SF, my wife and I were outside talking to a friend of his and he walked out and hugged us both and we told him what a great show he had put on and he was so genuine. It's sad that he has to deal with a stalker and has to be on guard.
Go with the old “my bad bro but my girl dont like you.” Move

When Gabriel said "Play the clip" the video went to an ad.
Dang. Nice Profile Pic and name
Fluffy is an amazing person. I pray he stays safe.
I love this guy's comedy. It's sad this had to happen to him. There are a lot of sick people out there. Bless you, Fluffy! I hope you never have to deal with stalkers ever again.
i like how audibly disgusted Christina gets lmfao!!!!!
BaBa The Movie Guy tf do you mean fire her she’s literally toms wife
@BaBa The Movie Guy
She probably gets it lol
Yeah she probably has or has had someone stalking her
I’ve seen fluffy twice and without a doubt I always have a good time
Love what Christina said. BE RUDE. I understand that as a celebrity with a big heart, he feels an obligation to polite, at the very least cordial, to his fans. But when a fan crosses the line and creates a situation that is uncomfortable or potentially unsafe, that obligation is OVER.
I was incredibly uncomfortable while watching this, god I can’t imagine how it must’ve been for Gabriel
Fluffy is getting fluffy again..
@Allen Silva - 🤣
Imagine if the stalker just has a wall full of pictures of Gabriel
“hey stalker” “go away, you”😑
Sincerely yours, your biggest fan. This is Stan.
Gabriel Iglesias is such a genuinely nice guy, met him once and he was just genuinely nice and down to earth.
I saw some weird stalker shit at a Ron White show a couple years ago. Some unhinged lady yelled out "I love you. I want you inside me." Ron froze on stage with a look of terror on his face when he heard her voice. He shot a look to security and they escorted her out. The sound of her voice and the look on his face haunts me to this day.
This gave me literal chills 😢
That was his wife.......
And the man’s name was Felipe Esparza.
😆😆😆😆😆
Franz Kafka Felipe Esparza is a comedian who is the “my friend Felipe” guy from Gabriel’s early comedy. Because it has been documented that Felipe does silly shit to make people laugh, i made a joke about this being a Felipe prank.
"Hey man, can you get better? It's getting uncomfortable."
Too bad Gabriel wasn’t direct with him and just tell him “hey man you are coming off as a stalker and if you keep showing up at my shows I am going to have to get the police to speak to you. I am a celebrity and we have to be careful about people like you, I have no idea if you are obsessed, or crazy, so with all due respect, please leave me alone.”
Zissou Moonshot Found the stalker guys!
Zissou Moonshot u have to PAY to see a show so why would he tell him to stop coming to the shows🤣
@@princessrocroyal I think he'll be alright with one less ticket. This is Fluffy! He can fill a freaking stadium!
ISK MUSIC as u already heard him say he didn't show up n he immediately started stalking someone else so him telling him to not buy a ticket WOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING
Finally he’s talking about Tarkovsky’s Stalker!
Tostitos199 One of the best films ever.
This is that episode of Seinfeld..."this is the meal" lol
You promised me a nice meal like Mendy's. Love that damn show
I love that show/episode.
A soup isn’t a meal!
I'm just glad the guy's never tried to hurt Fluffy (to our knowledge). Conan's stalker sent death threats and broke into the studio while they were filming an episode of Late Night.
Wow, what a honor. I mean this guy used to stalk Bob Hope!
Stalker is such a great game, wonder which one in the series he played.
@This is BAXTER What is that?
@@jorgevespucci9878 a porn
Call of peepoop
Makes me so happy to know Fluffy is comfortable with these guys, otherwise he likely wouldn't have shared. Precedent has been set for Fluffy's return to the show and I'm stoked.
Imagine this dude trying to stalk joe diaz 😂😂😂
I wish he would
He would literally get murdered. Lol
Man I was thinking the same thing ! Joey Díaz would run his ass over lmao
How great would it be if we heard a new laugh from the producers booth...guess who?
Roger.
lmao.
There are times a person has to put their feet down when events call for it
"I never want to be rude, I never want to be mean."
I've had 3 different stalkers. One of them tried to kill me more than once. Not being rude and mean is NOT an option when you're dealing with people like that. You have to be mean and rude and protective of yourself. Not being rude with a certain type of mentally ill folks can get you killed. I got a restraining order and a gun permit on the same damn day because of my stalker. I figured if one didnt work the other one would.
You ain’t had no stalker
@@voyageeats1409 It's probably you
@@scottyd2262 😎
I'm crying. "So LMK when you're ready for that dinner." Lost my shit.
4:28 didn’t know Joey Diaz was on this episode
Fluffy!!?? Did you not think I'd see this! You hurt me! I'm coming.... 😆
The best part of the story is the Dice reaction to the guy. Completely believable
"No dude f... Drop dead" laughed at that and he wasn't even joking around.
I ended up having a stalker because they were stalking my ex while we were dating and he started stalking and harassing and threatening me. Unfortunately for him he was unaware I’m an attorney and the moment he issued a clear threat in a text I had the police on the line and had him arrested. He was charged with assault, criminal harassment, and extortion. People like this need to be dealt with ruthlessly. They don’t understand any normal signaling.
Heavy role playing
Scary part about being rude is that you have no clue what their reaction is going to be. It could make them back off and cuss you out and then it's done. Or...it could make them ramp it up and suddenly you're in more danger than before. Very much depends on the context and situation and your surroundings.
So all I have to do to have dinner with Gabriel is show up to some of his shows? Im in!
« You’re familiar with a little fellow named Chapo?? » 😂😂
Hopefully he sees this video and gets the hint.
Can I please stan the "women get hurt because we always have to be polite" type mentality? We get raised to not cause waves. We get told to just agree and be nice.
Hell no. To both women and men! Be selfish. Be safe. Don't humor those you feel are unsafe. Fuck that!
I think it would be funny if the stalker showed up in South Africa 😂😉
That wink is a little disconcerting Samir...👀
at that point I'd be like "... who the fuck are you?" lol
We don't want him here
Or scary as fuck
That would not be funny at all. That would be hysterical.
Take care of yourself fluffy
I hope this stalker doesn’t go too far
I had to take my pants off while I watched this.
you're the stalker aren't you?
Why? Just why?
I just jerked through my pants bonus of leaving no mess afterwards
@@ocoolwow Maybe on the outside. But on the inside, you feel the shame in that cold slime touching your nut hairs and thigh.
Pants off? Why oh why?
What a great VIDEO and great advice from the woman! AWESOME!!!!!!
You say" hey your kinda creeping me out dude ....in your sweet fluffy lady voice lol.
@1:15 Tom’s face says it all 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeez I just wanted to cook this man dinner and show him my photos with Bob Hope. What's so wierd about that?
Lol are you who he is talking about?
@@aaron4ismI don't know, but I am definitely not stalking Ian. That would be crazy.
I hope me and Gabe (only his friends can call him that) can still have that dinner. Does anyone know what he eats?
Andy Jordan well you couldn't stalk 2 people, ya gotta have standards. Go with steak fajitas. Not being serious btw 😂😂
Hahaja
Why did they derail the stalker story? We get it his opener is funny
Don't think the guy know he was stalking , that old he just has nothing to do lol
But he also did it to Bob Hope. Must have been doing it since he was younger too.
Are you the stalker?
I just wanna say that we writers are 'precious' about our writing, bc this is the first century wherein they're actually getting credited/appreciated. For years professional writers were being paid/used/ignored as if they didn't know what they were doing, even though a production can be made or broken by the script alone.
It's obvious that Hollywood has been running dry for ages, and Netflix has some good ideas, but the real gold is where creativity has the reigns, not the potential views or ad revenues. That being said, can't wait for more Mr. Iglesias!
“When I go to the grocery store, sunglasses on”. Like she’s Bert Kryhsler or something’s
Like anyone knows who she is or gives a fuck about her lol
So a 2 is deflecting creeps ? They might be in her mind only
to be fair, i think it might be much worse and more common for a woman even though shes not that popular.
@Infinity Stones theyre ofter right. or do you disagree? i get that when overused it might get annoying, but that doesnt make it false.
Lol. Exactly. Who is she again?
I knew she'd bring up Silence of the Lambs when it got to staying away from creeps.

That’s scary because if he declines him and is mean to him this guy will probably go to one of his shows and shoot it up. That’s a predicament, get a armed bodyguard.
hes over 65. hes just a loner.
Damian Hernandez normal people don’t stalk people that’s not just lonely fuck man get a hobby
Yeah, but not every single stalker is a mass shooter. Cmon, man. Use some common sense. You're living in a neurotic bubble.
I said he will probably lol because it’s in the states and everyone is crazy there
@@jaymoose9313 you got problems kid
Have Martin cuss him out.
I've had creepy old men want to be my friend before (i'm in my 20s) and i always got such weird vibes from it, even from the ones who came off like genuinely nice people, something about it just sketches me out. Always go with your gut feeling. It happened to me while i was in the hospital recovering from a surgery and i felt so bad for the guy because he was also sick, just like this, i didn't want to be rude...It left me with a feeling of guilt but also anxiety like something wasn't right. Never saw the guy again after that. Still wonder if he had family or anyone there for him... But also was sketched out by him. These kind of interactions leave a mark on you, you can't forget them, because they're some weird combination of a predator preying on your empathy, and a sad person who is really lonely and needs help.
True but sometimes our brain "pretends" to be our gut
Sometimes you overanalyze things bro
Maybe he just wanted to smoke a joint and use your youth as bait for younger women at the bar?
Gabriel while being a great comedian, he’s also a really good story teller.
Anybody with enough energy to go to a comedy club isn’t sick
My son always tells me that when he is on the bus looking at his cellphone he always gets people who talk to him like they know him. He has told me that he doesn't want to be rude but just in case only responds "yes" or "no" until they realize my son doesn't want to talk to them.

Thank you so much for entertaining me.
Happy holidays to you and yours.
This ☝️ hits the nail on the head.
Every one knows that many proffesional comics are mean, unhappy people. Gabriel is truly one of the nicest, happiest ones. Remember what Billy Joel said '' You can never argue with a crazy man?'' . Nothing sinks in. That was so,so nice of Gabriel to take him out for barbeque. No matter how crazy he should have been more appreciative.
Love it when tom speaks spanish. Seriously was tripped out a few years back when i found out he was Spanish and Peruvian 😳😳🤣. Love this podcast
They're absolutely right. I'm a friendly,laid back guy by nature and some take that as invitation to be best friends immediately and latch on to that. Sometimes it's sad bc they just don't know how to make friends and are lonely but just as often it's creeps who are probably working some angle.
listen Fluffy, just tell him youre not into that. he doesnt know. youre nice to him so he feels like you like him too.
If he did comedy too, he'd be Bania from Seinfeld.
First thing I thought about lol
Man i always thought fluffly was kind of a sell out, he seems like a real genuine guy. Definitely not gonna jump to conclusions so easily
Sell out in what sense?
@@acrylicgodoy low hanging fruit humour mostly, but like i said my opinion of him has changed a bit. Still think he does quite a bit of that :P but at least now i know a little bit more of the man behind the jokes
OMG! Yes !!! BE RUDE if that’s what it takes ! My husband has been in law enforcement for 28 years and we have teenage daughters. He continually instructs them on public safety, being aware of your surroundings, etc. He has emphasized the fact that you owe politeness to NO ONE, if you feel you are in the slightest of danger, and to ALWAYS trust that “gut instinct” !
Noka Oi , I agree! 👍
Me: hasn't watched gabriel Iglesias since the 4th grade

That stalker just wants a piece of that 🍰 cake lol
Gabriel is the shit, such a genuine guy. I feel bad for him being put in situations like that. Protect fluffy
