1
Like I said, no matter what you say, no matter what you do, someone's gonna find a way to twist things and make it bad.
2
I've already gotten an email over the fact that I did
3
that joke about that nothing on this planet loves me more than my dogs versus my son.
4
Someone already reached out and they're like, oh my god, how devastating for your son.
5
I'm like, he knows.

Frankie is 24 years old.
10
Yeah, thank you for clapping.
11
He's still at the house.
12
I did an interview recently, and someone was asking me questions about my son.
13
They said, you know, Gabriel, you've always mentioned your son in your specials.
14
Can we look forward to a new story coming out?
15
And I said, not really a new story so much as, you know, because my son is doing his own thing now.
16
He's doing his own thing.
17
He's got his own life and that's awesome.
18
I do however still have stories from the past that I never told and he goes well do tell.
19
I said okay my favorite story is actually probably the first one.
20
In 2007 when I first got him.
21
some of you know he's technically my stepson
22
but I've never liked saying stepson he is my son yeah he is my son
23
or my aftermarket child no gray area
24
anyway it's 2007 and for some reason I'm home on Halloween now here's the thing as a comedian,
25
I have signed up to perform 365 days a year.
26
There is no sacred day for me.
27
I work on Christmas Day.
28
I work on New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, birthdays, holidays, special occasions, no matter what.
29
My mom told me, si hay trabajo, hay que trabajar.
30
You got to work, especially if you got a good job.
31
You don't want no one to take it.
32
So if you're going to go for it, give it everything.
33
So the fact that I'm not working on Halloween is super rare.
34
And so my son's mom is like, she's like, I think this is so cool that you're home today.
35
You know, since this is Frankie's first year where it's just the three of us, how about this?
36
How about tonight?
37
You take them trick -or -treating and I'll stay home and give out candy.
38
This way it'll give the two of you an opportunity to get to know each other, have some conversations, have some laughs.
39
What do you think?
40
I said, baby, you know what?
41
That's a great idea.
42
I love it.
43
I love it.
44
Okay, I'm on it.
45
Frankie!
46
Come on, we're going trick -or -treating.
47
What about my mom?
48
She's going to stay home.
49
Yay!
50
So we get in the car.
51
And I take Frankie to that neighborhood.
52
You know what I'm saying.
53
That neighborhood that gives out the Costco candies?
54
Yeah.
55
So we parked the car and we start going up the street and I'm not wearing a costume.
56
I'm there for him.
57
So he's dressed up for Halloween.
58
I'm just me.
59
So some of the doors we knocked on, the people freaked out.
60
One guy was like, the fluffy.
61
Oh my God, I've never been referred to as the fluffy.
62
I didn't know what to say.
63
It is I.
64
One door we knocked on, they open the door, they're like, oh my god, you're famous.
65
I was like, ah.
66
We go all the way up, we cross the street, we come all the way back.
67
By the time we get to the car, the bucket is overflowing with candy.
68
Okay?
69
So we get back to the house, and it hasn't even been an hour.
70
We walk in, and Frankie's mom is pissed.
71
She's like, the hell is this?
72
I go, what?
73
I thought I told you to take him trick -or -treating.
74
I go, I did.
75
Show the score.
76
The whole point of you taking him trick -or -treating wasn't to get candy.
77
The hell you say?
78
What was the point?
79
The point was for the two of you to spend time together, have some laughs, have some conversations, get to know one another.
80
You're not going to do that in an hour.
81
Can you please, for me, take them out one more time for at least an hour?
82
Baby, I get it.
83
Don't even worry about it.
84
I got it.
85
So I said, Frankie, come on.
86
Dump out your bucket.
87
Round two. So we go outside.
88
We get in the car.
89
I don't want to go door to door again.
90
So I said, I got an idea.
91
I take Frankie. to Walmart.
92
We get to Walmart and Frankie goes, what are we doing here?
93
I got it, watch.
94
We walk in.
95
I said, grab a cart.
96
Follow me.
97
And I lead Frankie all the way to the candy section.
98
Well, as soon as we get to the candy section, I stop the cart.
99
And I got in Frankie's face and I said, Frankie, you have exactly 30 seconds to grab as much candy as you can.
100
Ready?
101
Go!
102
And he froze I said dude clocks ticking you better move.
103
Oh my god.
104
Oh my god.
105
Oh my god
106
So he grabs a bag looks at it throws
107
it in the cart grabs the second bag looks at it throws it in the cart
108
Grabs a third bag and on the third bag time and it was the first time I heard him go shit!
109
Because he knew he wasted that golden opportunity those first few seconds.
110
So we get to the car I rip open the three bags.
111
I dump them out in his bucket and I tell him
112
Look Frankie when we get home
113
You cannot tell your mom that we went to Walmart Why not?
114
Because she's gonna say that we cheated trick -or -treating, but it's better.
115
I know it's better
116
So we get home, and of course now it's a different tone.
117
She's like, there you are.
118
Did you guys have a good time?
119
We had a great time, baby.
120
We had a good time, huh, Frankie?
121
That's good.
122
Frankie, give me your candy.
123
Why, Mom?
124
Because I need to go through your candy to make sure it's safe for you to eat.
125
Why wouldn't it be safe?
126
It all came from...
127
He almost took down the empire, you know what I'm saying?
128
So he hands over the bucket, and she grabs it and immediately dumps it out on the table right in front of us.
129
She notices, you know.
130
There's a lot of the same candy right here.
131
A lot of the same candy.
132
can you explain why there's
133
so much of the same candy in frankie's bucket
134
i don't know what to tell you baby
135
there's a lot of basic bitches in this neighborhood
136
you know just kind of i don't know we can't go back to
137
that other neighborhood because they got cameras and they're gonna know us
138
and we don't want to be that person nobody wants to be that so fast forward
139
one year it is now october 31st of 2008 and for some reason i'm not booked on halloween again
140
And so my girl's like, she swerves up and down.
141
Oh, it's a sign.
142
It's a sign.
143
I'm like, it's a sign my agent is slacky.
144
Shout out, Matt.
145
I know you're here.
146
Sorry about that joke.
147
You're doing a great job.
148
Thank you for this one.
149
I know, but that year you dropped the ball.
150
So, but anyway.
151
And so Frankie's mom is like, I think that, you know what?
152
Maybe, just maybe, we can make this like a tradition.
153
You know, this could be your guys' thing.
154
The two of you go out trick -or -treating, and then I'll stay home and give out candy.
155
This could be your thing.
156
I go, you know what, baby?
157
Sounds good to me.
158
Frankie!
159
Come on, we're going trick -or -treating.
160
What about my mom?
161
She's going to stay home again.
162
Yay!
163
So we get outside, we get in the car.
164
I lean over and I look at Frankie and I said, Frankie, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
165
Walmart.
166
We pull up to Walmart.
167
We walk in.
168
I said, Frankie, grab a cart.
169
Follow me.
170
And I lead him all the way to the candy section.
171
As soon as we get to the candy section, I stop the cart and I get in his face.
172
I said Frankie you have exactly 30 seconds to grab as much candy as you can ready go
173
Apparently this motherfucker was training all year for this
174
As soon as I said go his arm BAM
175
and he starts gutting the shelf he's ripping bags of candy into the cart
176
He overflowed the shopping cart in 10 seconds.
177
I firmly believe that's the first day of my diabetes.
178
And that's a story that I've been sharing, you know, at parties and just close friends.
179
And I just recently started telling it on stage.
180
And he overheard me one time saying the story.
181
And he's like, really?
182
Still?
183
I'm like, it's a good story.
184
You're the hero.
185
I thought it would be great if I could tell an old story.
186
that was from years ago that never made it to a one -hour special.
187
And the cool part about this story is that it now has a different ending.
188
The story is called The Gift Basket.
189
Some of you know it, some of you don't know it, but after this you're never gonna forget it.
190
All you have to know about this story is
191
that all the people involved have always been and will continue to be friends.
192
That being said, Martin and I, all the good ones start like that,
193
Martin and I are scheduled to perform in Northern California.
194
Usually we fly, but this particular day I was having a problem with Southwest Airlines.
195
They wanted me to pay for an extra seat for someone who wasn't traveling with me.
196
Take your time, you'll figure it out.
197
Anyway, I tell Martín, I'm not paying for an extra seat.
198
Let's just drive.
199
It's six hours. So we headed north.
200
Three hours into the drive, we're passing through a city called Fresno.
201
And as we're passing...
202
Hey, Fresno 559.
203
Anyway, as we're passing through Fresno, we start seeing billboards off the side of the freeway that said,
204
performing this weekend at the Radisson Hotel directly from BET's Comic View
205
and Showtime at the Apollo comedian G Riley
206
and I look at Martin I go oh shoot G's in town
207
and Martin goes yeah I haven't seen G in years
208
so we're like let's stop by the hotel and say hi
209
so we pull into the parking lot we walk in I tell
210
Martin he doesn't know we're here
211
I'm gonna crank call his room what are you gonna say I said I'm gonna tell him
212
that I'm the front desk and that he just received a gift basket what's
213
so funny about a gift basket I said I'm gonna describe it over the phone
214
and I'm gonna make all the items
215
that are in this imaginary basket become items
216
that stereotypically a black person might like
217
but you're crazy I said
218
I'll tell you what we got two hours to kill how about this how about we go to the supermarket
219
and we make an actual racist gift basket and we'll have it delivered
220
and we'll wait outside to see what happens I said are you down we go to a store
221
and we start to design the sickest practical joke ever I get a shopping cart
222
and I'm like all right we need a basket
223
so I find one I take out the grass the plastic eggs
224
and the chocolate rabbits
225
and we start hitting the aisles first item I grab is a fried chicken about
226
that big okay see how quick that laugh was There's a few black people in here like,
227
motherfucker, this better be funny.
228
It's hysterical.
229
Let me just finish the story, and then you can judge me in the parking lot.
230
So anyway, then
231
Martin hands me a miniature watermelon, and I put it next to the fried chicken.
232
Here's where it gets interesting.
233
Employees of the store find out what we're doing, and they start volunteering to help us finish the basket.
234
Half of the employees were black, which made it so much more accurate.
235
Aisle after aisle, aisle.
236
One guy was stocking a shelf.
237
He was an older white guy, and we're like, sir, can you help us?
238
What do you need?
239
My buddy Martin
240
and I are trying to make this messed up racist gift basket for our black friend as a practical joke.
241
Can you think of something we can put in there?
242
Without even blinking an eye, the guy was like, ah, you gotta have Kool -Aid.
243
It's at the end of the aisle on the right, malt liquors and exile over in the back of the store in the freezer section.
244
It's on sale two for one.
245
By the time we get to the register, all these different employees plus us came up with the basket that had fried chicken,
246
watermelon, Kool -Aid, grape soda, barbecue potato chips, sunflower seeds, an ebony magazine, a Chris Rock DVD called Bigger and Blacker,
247
Magnum condoms, Newport cigarettes, a rack of ribs, the recipe for cornbread.
248
It was getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
249
Icing on the cake, we find a greeting card that's on clearance from Halloween,
250
and it has a picture of three ghosts on the cover wearing sheets.
251
I tear off the half that says, Happy Halloween, and on the back of the card, I write, Welcome to Fresno.
252
Love the Chamber of Commerce.
253
And we stick it to the basket.
254
We made it all nice and pretty, and we haul ass to the hotel.
255
We pull up.
256
We walk in.
257
The basket is hot as hell, so I'm racing in.
258
I get inside and I put it on the counter as fast as I can, bro.
259
It's too perfect.
260
There's a black girl behind the front desk.
261
As soon as I put the basket down, I hear... Is that chicken?
262
Ooh, let me see.
263
Hold on.
264
What is it?
265
Let me explain.
266
My name is Gabriel.
267
This is Martin.
268
We're a couple of comedians, and we're about to play a really crazy practical joke on
269
a friend of ours who's staying here tonight by the name of G.
270
Riley, who's also a comedian.
271
Oh, the one that's on the signs on the freeway.
272
Yeah, the one that's on the signs on the freeway.
273
So as a practical joke, we went to the store and we made this messed up racist gift basket.
274
That's why you can smell fried chicken." And she was like, what?
275
You need Jesus, that's what you'll name.
276
Kiki, girl, you better hang up that phone.
277
You ain't gonna believe what I'm looking at over here, girl.
278
Listen, we think it would be hysterical if we could have you deliver the basket for us.
279
She lost it.
280
Oh, the hell you didn't.
281
I know you didn't just ask me to take that to a black man.
282
You are out your damn mind.
283
Oh, Lord!
284
Lord!
285
Give me the strength to not kill this big -ass Mexican over here, Lord.
286
Mm -mm.
287
Uh -uh.
288
Okay, look here, Nacho Libre.
289
I don't care who you are.
290
I am not doing it.
291
Hell, no. I'll give you 50 bucks.
292
Where that motherfucker at?
293
We follow her to the hotel room.
294
She knocks on the door.
295
Martin and I hide by the elevator on the floor.
296
She knocks.
297
She opens the door, sees a beautiful black woman standing there with a gift basket.
298
This is for you, baby.
299
He says, thank you.
300
Closes the door.
301
She walks away and she sees us on the ground hiding, right?
302
And she's like, y 'all still going to hell.
303
We get up and we walk over to the door and we put our ear, listen, listen.
304
This is what we hear inside.
305
Woo!
306
Chicken!
307
Oh, Kool -Aid!
308
Malika!
309
He's getting excited over every single item he's pulling out of the basket.
310
He gets to the greeting card.
311
What can the friends know?
312
Love the Chamber of Commerce.
313
Hell yeah.
314
Then we feel him flipping the card over because his voice changed.
315
He's like, oh yeah, man, this is, what the fuck?
316
Outside the door, we heard racist bastards.
317
When we heard racist bastards, we lost it.
318
Ah!
319
Housekeeping is freaking out.
320
What's happening here?
321
What are you doing?
322
What's happening, boy?
323
What are you doing?
324
We're laughing, we're crying, we got boogers coming out.
325
We can't take it anymore.
326
We knock on the door.
327
He yells, who is it?
328
Too easy, chamber of commerce.
329
He rushes the door.
330
I put my finger on the people so we can't see who it is, right?
331
The knob starts to jiggle, then the door explodes open and he's like, what?
332
And he sees us and he's like, ah!
333
Ah!
334
What's up, G?
335
Man, y 'all give a brother heart attack.
336
Did you like your basket?
337
Man, that was messed up.
338
Did you like it?
339
Man, I love all that shit.
340
And now, ladies and gentlemen, a story that has been seven years in the making.
341
I would like for you to now hear, for the first time ever, the other side of that story.
342
Ladies and gentlemen, I flew him here to Hawaii so that he can share this with you.
343
Give it up for my friend, Mr. G Riley!
344
I gotta be honest, I didn't know it was racist.
345
I thought it was lunch.
346
I thought it was lunch.
347
I didn't know it was racist until I got back to my neighborhood, and the brothers in my neighborhood looked at me,
348
they say, man, I don't believe you if you let that Mexican guy do that to you, man.
349
That was messed up.
350
I know you got him back.
351
I said, what, buy him lunch?
352
I can't afford to buy that man lunch.
353
If I buy him lunch, he'll be getting me again.
354
But you gotta understand, it was a perfect set of circumstances when it happened.
355
Because I'm laying across the bed in the hotel.
356
I had never been to Fresno before.
357
And I wanted something to eat, and I didn't know where to go eat.
358
So I'm laying across the bed, and I'm saying to myself, where could I go eat?
359
I wish I had some food.
360
And all of a sudden, magically, There's a knock on the door and a black girl shows up with a gift basket.
361
And I took the gift basket and I said, they know how to treat their comedians up here in Fresno.
362
And I'm walking to the bed and I can feel the heat and I can smell the chicken from the gift basket.
363
And I'm like, oh, this is cool.
364
Cause nobody smells chicken and thinks of racism, right?
365
I see the watermelon.
366
I'm like, oh, this is cool.
367
They know how to treat a comedian up in here.
368
I get to the card and I look at the card and I go, what the fuck is going on?
369
I said, oh my God, I'm working for the Ku Klux Klan.
370
And I really started to panic because in my head, I'm saying to myself, is this for real?
371
Because there were billboards all over the city with my picture.
372
And I started thinking they were trying to scare me out of town.
373
So now I don't know what to do, right?
374
And I start trying to call a promoter, and the promoter's not answering the phone, and it's festering in my head,
375
and I'm nervous, and I'm pacing the room, and all of a sudden there's a knock on the door, right?
376
And I go, oh, my God, they come to get me.
377
So I ease over to the door, right? and I look through the peephole, right, and all I see is a brown dot, right?
378
And I go, I hear somebody out there, because I hear the breathing, right?
379
I hear .
380
So this was about 60 pounds ago, right?
381
So I go to look down up under the door, right?
382
And I say, oh, my God, it got to be about five or six of them out there.
383
Oh, my God.
384
So I figure like this, I figure, okay, you know what?
385
If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.
386
You know, if it's gonna happen, I'm gonna go there and swing it, right?
387
So I put my best black face on, you know, I tried to look mean, you know, I look like this guy right here.
388
I look like that guy right there, right?
389
And I go, who is it?
390
And they go, Chamber of Commerce, and I go, oh my God, the Chamber of Commerce is the Ku Klux Klan.
391
And I'm panicking, so I get to the door, right? and I pull the door open, and when the door opens up,
392
these guys are falling all over the hall laughing at me.
393
They're rolling all into the cleaner lady's car.
394
The cleaner lady didn't know what was going on, right?
395
She's scared to dust, because she sees a black dude with no shirt like this, so she grabs the lemon pledge like it's pepper spray, right?
396
She's ready to get...
397
Now everything, now that I realize it's a practical joke, everything calms down, because I remember how hungry I was.
398
I'm like, okay, cool.
399
Practical joke, right?
400
So I go in the bathroom to wash my hands.
401
While I'm in the bathroom washing my hands, I hear a commotion in the other room, right?
402
I go back in the other room.
403
They're going through the gift basket.
404
The maid is leaving with the watermelon.
405
Martina's drinking my 40.
406
And this fluffy bastard is eating my chicken!
407
I'm outta here!
408
Unity through laughter, baby.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
