Stand-up comedy legend Tex Alexandro shares the downsides of getting booed off stage at The Apollo after performing with his rap group "Brotherly Love", being blacklisted from comedy clubs when he fought for a pay raise, teaching music to middle schoolers, and opening for Jim Gaffigan. Gianmarco also complains about his friend's destination wedding in Hawaii that he was asked to perform at for free and part of him hopes his friend sees this episode description and at least offers him a hotel room for f*ck's sake.
