my favorite part about this was the fact that they actually entertained the conversation like he could have just looked at me and said you're stupid and i would have accepted that i would have been like okay you know but i guess we're living in different times where people are a lot more sensitive and more mindful and so he just wanted to make sure i was okay so he's like gabriel look i am not taking anything away from your your credibility as a voice talent as an entertainer as just an individual but my hands are tied look at contracts have been signed checks have been cut this is a union project and i'm like look at him go the producer is also on this call and the producer is the one responsible for the finance the money so he hears the director just freaking going down and he's like whoa whoa whoa whoa hold on hold on hear the man out gabriel fluffy baby talk to me puddin if we can make this happen what are we talking so what do you mean well what are we talking what's your rate what's your fee i said well word on the street is i go for no less than 50 000 and i do have emails to support that they still said no but whatever i know i'm gonna have to defend speedy gonzalez again at some point because unfortunately that's how cancel culture works you know and don't get me wrong i understand that some people need to be held accountable but and by the way if i'm the one telling you about cancel culture it's already gone way too far because i pride myself in the fact that i'm not a comedian who's divisive that's why i don't talk about politics religion or sports okay because all three will divide people that's why i talk about food because food brings people together that's right unless you're vegan in which case you can leave right now i don't give a shit i really don't i don't care if i offend you and your salad you can leave bye and the only reason why i'm so on the vegans is because i once was vegan i know something like no yeah i was vegan for a little under a year now i know some of you are probably thinking oh that's not you weren't even vegan then if it was less than a year but think about it anyone who has ever gone on a diet knows just how hard it is to change your eating habits for one week much less a year and they told me they said you're gonna lose weight and they were not lying i lost weight patience and friends so i'm just here to let you know i'm back i almost got canceled i almost got canceled because uh i posted a tweet of um one of my dogs now some of you already know i have two chihuahuas yeah i know people watching at home like that's not stereotypical yeah i know i have two chihuahuas i have a little boy dog named vinny and a little girl dog named risa combined weight 14 pounds my little girl dog risa she is four pounds and she's 17 years old yeah her anger keeps her alive i will confirm every stereotype about chihuahuas oh yeah it's real the rage is real but with me she loves me okay she's 17 she has no teeth her tongue hangs out she's adorable so i posted a picture of her on twitter with the caption that basically read going to take my little nugget to go get some chicken nuggets and then i tagged at chick filet okay so yeah you feel that see how the majority of the room was like that place is good sucks their clothes on sunday and then there was a few of you in here and you heard the crowd oh yeah half of those people vegans the other half are the ones that blew up my twitter feed my twitter feed started getting flooded with nasty comments you're stupid you're horrible how could you we thought more of you really fluffy you and i don't know what they're talking about the problem with cancel culture is they only attack they don't educate they don't explain they just attack and they expect you to better or understand them but they're not willing to play nice so here's what happens i'm asking questions no one wants to answer they're like fluffy you're horrible you're terrible i'm like what do you mean they're like really chick filet like i'm sorry popeyes was closed i don't know what to tell you they're like you know what you're doing i said i am more hungry than woke i don't know what you mean and then finally someone took the time to explain to me why i was wrong for that tweet come to find out that chick-fil-a in the past has been known to make contributions to organizations that are a little out of line with the l g b t q plus community now forgive me for using my hand to get the letters right i just want to get the letters right i do consider myself a supporter and an ally and i'm trying my best to be as understanding as i can be with the limited information i have available now i'm going to say it again i'm trying to be as understanding as i can be with the limited information i have available which basically means i only read headlines here's the thing you guys there are a million struggles in this world every single day there are people trying to better their lives trying to get to a goal trying to achieve something to get them out of one place and into something better and it's impossible to keep up with everyone's fight unless you mess up and then someone pulls you aside and reads you the riot act so here's how the conversation went because i finally got one they said well gabriel if you consider yourself a supporter of the lgbtq plus community moving forward will you still be tagging chick-fil-a in future posts i said um yes i will but it's not because i'm not a supporter i'm definitely a supporter of your cause but causes are a two-way street you got to support mine too i said i tagged chick-fil-a for the same reason i tag every other company i use organically i'm trying to get free shit plain and simple don't look past it and i know some of you are like well gabriel don't you make money yes i do and you know how you keep free shit yeah let me tell you how i discovered this one so i was at a chipotle one night and the staff was incredible so i wanted to give them a little shout out online so i gave them a shout out and then i tagged chipotle chipotle saw my tweet and then they reached out to me to say thank you and to show their appreciation chipotle mailed me a burrito card good for one year's of unlimited chipotle and i tested it oh they gave it to the wrong person after about two weeks it looked like a metro card it was all scratched up so now let me tell you guys if you were me and you sent out one tweet that got you fed for a whole year for free wouldn't you be tagging as many companies as you could to see who else would want to donate to the cause the only thing i'm guilty of is hoeing myself out that's it i was being a little cyber sucia that's all i was doing you
