That was pretty standard if he was healthy. He made us wait to get in cause the 8pm show was supposed to finish at 945 doors at 10. He started his bit at 11 finished 130
In 2008 I had cancer. My friend was a huge fan of his. The second time he went to Ralphie’s show, Ralphie remembered him. They got to talking and my friend mentioned me and RM gave him signed copies of his DVDs for me. He said “Tell him to kick cancer’s ass.”
@@gearjunkie3412 I never really thought about it, but I sure do now. mostly I like to smoke a cigar on the weekends with a glass of bourbon or whiskey, its relaxing and the flavors are good together.
I saw him in Atlanta once and after he finished his regular set he did over an hour of off the cuff. Including a bit on me because he saw my "plate" was an entire platter of 50 chicken wings. Gave me respect for being able to finish that as a a skinny guy. Tells the black folks they ought to be ashamed of themselves and then asked if i was still hungry. When I said yes he tells the server to bring me another 50 wings and any drinks and says put my bill on his tab. Nice guy
@@NotAfilthyCasual lol not a lie. was at the comedy club that had a bar, arcade, and theatre attached and Ron White frequented. Sorry your life is so pathetic you think others have to lie though.
Back in 2006, Ralohie May was staying at the Embassy Suites in Orlando where I was an underage valet. My man got out the towncar by himself, sat on a bench, crushed 2 Lunchables and a Red Bull, then smoked a cigar. . . It was just Ralphie being Ralphie, still ridiculously hilarious all by himself
It must be awkward for him to be in a room full of successful comics and then there's him who's so disliked, he actually has to do shows under a fake name.
One look at Ralphie May is enough for me to know that there is absolutely no way I could afford to feed him. Dude was a fucking legend of a comic though.
I ran into Ralphie May in the Atlanta Airport back in 08 when I was a soldier. I weighed about 140 lbs soaking wet. This man weighed at least 3 times as much as I did. He was legit one of the largest men I had ever seen. But oddly enough, he was quiet and reserved. He kept to himself, seemingly trying to avoid the spotlight
I had the pleasure to serve Ralphie a few times when he came into my restaurant in Palm Beach. He would always order bottles for people at the bar and an extra dinner to take home. Great guy always in a good mood. The girl he was with (his girlfriend at the time) could tell I was a fan and asked me if I wanted a picture with Ralphie and Ralphie insisted. One of the best experiences I had with a celeb next to Kid Rock.
Once I read it was from Michael Jackson I could only imagine him explaining how he would never say the word fag. But arie was a straight fig in that moment
my best friend was fat did that all the time...he changed only one thing. Working out. Now he looks like a strongman, cuz he is big af, too. But he still smokes pot, eats a lot and is a lazy fuck. But now he has a biceps biger then my tigh....and i thing it saved his live, cuz he was really fucking fat.
I love Bert’s Ralphie impressions. “Ahh Playa, should have just let me pay for it playa…. Ahh playa, we gonna win it back on blackjack… see you on the plane playboy.”
Listening about ralphie and reading the comments of people who personally met him , it made him sound like he loved the career more than the money and was a genuine man. Rip. Breaks my heart that when I fell in love watching you and looking up upcoming shows I found out you passed away long time ago.
@Hooked On Chronics I'm certain you meant the only man who ever said those 4 words is the problem. Your VERY OWN, greedy, gay failed actor, Jussie Smollett. He revealed your agenda. Lie at all costs. Personally, I'm glad he single handedly set black civil rights back about 50 years and gay rights about 40. P.S. The Chicago Special Prosecutor is about to hand down his indictment. Unlike a certain President who was recently VINDICATED, he will face serious jail time on felony charges, maybe even hate crime charges, heavy fines, and a big inmate named Leroy every night,...whether he wants to or not. Won't that be fun to watch go down. I'm making fresh popcorn. #SCHADENFREUDE
@@davidxxl6969 Great points, I'm in agreement that we need to bring both sides to the table and get things done. Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan found common ground on important legislation that helped Americans thrive. Even the poor got benefits.
Ralphie truly was a generous person, and Lahna is as well. It was an honor to interview Ralphie, and meeting Lahna was wonderful (she is so sweet, but she is a DIRTY comedienne!). I love when videos like this come up in my feed. Memories shared of Ralphie let him live on in the hearts and minds of others. 💜
If I can eat $200 worth of sushi, Ralphie would have no problem with over $1000. Ugh it’s hard to believe he’s been gone for 2 years now. Ralphie was a beautiful man, an underrated intellect, and one of the funniest dudes ever to live. May a legend RIP.
We used to party with a rich guy. I always paid my way but there were a lot of leaches. He once left for his apartment without paying. The look of shock on their faces was hilarious.
I hate this moron.. Just one point I dislike, but what friend slips his friend a moly. Especially in front of his family. Plus he is on blood pressure medication. Even without having health issues and being in front of his family... It's a fucking bitch move.. I would fucking punch him into orbit
He died after going into cardiac arrest. I believe he was battling pneumonia at the time. He died in 2017. I used to work with him in the clubs back in the late 90s; those were the days.
Love how this entire story about Ralphie mays eating habits and Bert’s risky gambling lol but the thing Bert finds most shocking is that Ralphie read a book on a plane 😂
I love that Bert's version of broke is not being able to afford a 1500 dollar dinner with ralphie I'm broke when it's a tossup on what's on the dollar menu
I had sushi with Ralphie a few times in LÁ 20 years ago. He was as mentioned one of the most generous, kindest people. And he ate sparingly. I believe their story is prior to his gastric surgery implant when he used to indulge. He will be sorely missed. Only he and Joe and Dywane Perkins and Bob Marley were nice people. Most other comics are insecure Dicks you’d never want to meet.
I was in the Austintacious crowd but I regret I never got to meet him. Ralphie and Robin Williams are the only two famous people I actually dropped a few tears for when I heard they passed.
Was curious about this as well. Didn’t have enough in the bank to cover the tip let alone the bill, but somehow pays the bill (and tip, I presume) then pull $1,000 or $2,000 from the ATM to play blackjack? Though the above “cc/bill money/overdraft” comments might explain it. Crazy situation. Great he can laugh about it today and hopefully those days are long behind him!
Im with Bert on this one, thats an AMAZING little detail about Ralphie reading a whole book in 5 hours. I want to hear more about that. Like he sat down, cracked open a new 300 page novel and read it front to back in 1 flight? Fuckin heck Ralphie
Aww, I miss Ralphie May. Some of my favourite podcasts ever, were Ralphie on 'The Church of What's Happening Now', with Joey Diaz & Lee Syatt. Something really special about Joey & Ralphie's friendship. Plus, he always seemed such a kind & decent guy. Always great with Lee, too. Very sadly missed by all his fans. R.I.P. Ralphie. Hope you're still around somewhere, in this universe. I'm going to watch one now, as a token of respect for the 'big fella' :-).
Mel Brooks met Hitchcock for lunch, Mel had Dover sole,salad, Hitchcock had shrimp cocktail, two inch steak,baked potato with butter,chives,sour cream, asparagus,salad, dessert,wine,cognac. 15 minutes later Hitchcock put down his cigar called the Waiter over and ordered the same meal again. Mel Brooks was stunned,,yes Hitch finished the meal.
I've always found my biggest challenge with weight loss is that it just isn't that important to me to go through the misery of dieting, and exercising is painful for me due to many joint issues. Combine that with the fact that a lot of quality ingredients are very expensive and it's a real losing combination. To be fair that's that way from most people though, dieting is generally unpleasant, quality food is expensive just to get the ingredients let alone have it pre-made if it's a person who doesn't have the time or skill to cook, and most people lack the energy to exercise after work, let alone deal with children or household maintenance, finding any time for exercises is a challenge for many people. It's a vicious cycle.
The hardest part of losing weight is you wind up in a hardcore knockout dirty fight with a body and brain that is still convinced you are a 12,000BC hunter-gatherer and winter is coming. Combined they will throw every psychological landmine and physical process they can come up with to keep every ounce of that weight, because the animal part of you doesn't comprehend that there will be no famine this year. And it doesn't care about your job, your bills, your family, your obligations, losing weight demands a 100% effort war of attrition with your own self to lose weight and keep it off for good. A huge shout-out to those who have won the war - and a huge hug to everyone currently in the fight.
It’s the Italian curse: If it’s there, eat it. We don’t have that thing that turns off the desire to eat. I work out out a lot and keep it at bay. I have two brothers that are overweight.
@Dat nigga Roger from the outside that would seem like the case for sure but she beyond an extrovert and confident, all her friends were dudes, she was one of the guys. The hefty fellas she was with all had a good sense of humor
I remember one time eating at Ralphies favorite steak house in Florida with a couple other people... Ralphie ordered basically everything even multiple types of water... At one point we noticed the entire staff was standing in line just watching us eat... We argued who would pay, and the owner walked up and said, "if you make fun of ______ at the show tonight there's no bill... Ralphies like, "oh hell ya I can do that for ya no problem" I got so many Ralphie stories, but the main one is how sad it makes me to think about certain people how they treated him... I miss ya brother...
I miss Ralphy May. One of the few Comedians that made it out to Guam to do a show. And next to Tommy Chong the most famous. He and his wife always stayed a few extra days and really enjoyed the island.
