About this episode
In the second half of Ralph's conversation with Shannon, he gives advice to young comedians, reflects on meeting Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, and Adam Sandler, and even shares the story of smoking a cigarette with Chappelle and being starstruck by how “beautiful” Kevin Hart looked. Ralph shares how it felt to take his mom and grandma out of debt after a big payday, his dream cars (a 1996 Impala SS and Nissan Skyline GTR R32), and how fame changed everything — especially when it comes to dating and getting recognized in public. He opens up about being Type 1 diabetic, how it affected his confidence growing up, and the difference between how he parents now versus how his own dad showed up. Ralph also weighs in on politics, protesting, deportations, and gives his unfiltered take on Mexicans who support Trump. And yes — he finally addresses the viral George Lopez drama, cancel culture, and why he still wants to be a comedy actor like Adam Sandler. From stand-up stages to family life to future dreams, Ralph keeps it real, funny, and refreshingly honest. Tap in for laughs, life lessons, and unexpected gems from one of the sharpest voices in comedy today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
