In an engaging conversation Vlad and comedian Aries Spears, Carlos Mencia’s controversial career was addressed. Mencia, known for his well-liked performance amid the Latino stand-up scene, has faced accusations of joke-stealing, pushing his career into decline. Aries concurred with the allegations, noting evidence of joke theft in Mencia’s verbatim recitations of Ari Schaefer and George Lopez’s lines. Aries even mentioned copying from Bill Cosby's iconic "Hi Mom" joke. Mencia's defense involved blaming his 'theft' on the unoriginality of topics, a sentiment Louis CK and Vlad echoed. The discussion highlighted the grey area in comedy regarding joke theft, with Vlad and Aries underlining the distinction between discussing similar themes and copying jokes verbatim. The matter with George Lopez became even more complex when Mencia managed to present a video from the '80s depicting him performing a joke which Lopez later claimed as his.
