Thank you. My biggest credit all of them, it wasn't listed on there.

I played the Bluebell Firehouse and when you mention Bluebell, I remember being there. It's out in Pennsylvania, 45 minutes outside of Philly and I remember bringing a hot date there too. I go, look, I got this gig tonight. She's like, I'll go with you and I didn't want to tell her I was playing in a firehouse. Dude, that's always a tough break. Told her it was the Bellagio. I was like, look, it's this thing I'm doing for my friend, a favor.

No, I'll go with you. I got nothing to do. Oh my God. Look, it's at this firehouse. She's like, that's all right. And she didn't fit in there. I can imagine. I can imagine.

Yeah, holy shit. That's funny, man. Thanks for doing the show. Yeah, no problem. And I've spent a lot of time down a while with the comedy club down there, so I spent a lot of summers down there. Yeah, that closed down. How was that?

I never even got in there. That closed before I started, but I remember looking around at it. It was amazing. They did two shows a night, seven nights a week, so you got a lot of stage time. So it was great for me to just get up and do sets, especially when I first started. And the nightlife there used to be open until five in the morning, the clubs in Wildwood. They gave me a tag in it. Wildwood plays it fast and fucking loose.

Even nowadays, dude. I know. It was open until five in the morning. Nowhere else was open until five in the morning, except for Wildwood. Dude, Wildwood plays by its own fucking rules. I've been quarantined, so my parents have a house down there when shit hit the fan in New York, and nobody knew what was going on. I'm like, I'm getting the fuck out of here.

So me and my wife went down there, and we were hanging out. And I mean, like just weekend after weekend, there'd be more and more people, games on the boardwalk, opening up. Meanwhile, people are fucking collapsing all over the fucking world. And Wildwood's doing the ring toss on Maury's Pier, dude. It was crazy. Yeah. Good time.

Oh, my God. Now, Jim, you were born in Brooklyn, but raised in Jersey. Did you, did you guys look like two years old? I moved from Brooklyn. I don't remember being there. I pretty much grew up in Jersey. I lived down in Florida for a little while, but pretty much Jersey, born and bred. As a kid, you lived down in Florida?

When I was in high school, junior, senior year, I moved down. My family moved down there, and then a couple of years later, I moved back again. So I spent about four years down in Florida. Did you move back so long, or did you move back with your family? The day I graduated from high school, I drove my shitty far back from Florida to New Jersey, because I hated it so bad down there. Yeah. You know, and then I came back.

My, yeah, my parents decided to move between sophomore and junior year, which was horrible, because you know, you have no friends. You have all your friends you're up with, and then all of a sudden you're down there, and I got put in like this private Catholic school where, you know, they were all like rich kids and stuff. And I was like, you know, this heavy metal dude with, you know, Ozzy written on my notebook with that long hair. They were all driving daddy's Mercedes.

I had a beat up shitty Volkswagen. Yeah. Why did your parents decide to move you down there now? My dad wanted to open up like a catering business down there. He always had a dream. He had a good job in New York and in Philadelphia. He worked for a while, and he just decided he wanted the buddies like lunch trucks and go to the construction sites and, you know, and buy a whole route of them, like six or

then a completely bomb. That was my dad's dream too. He wanted, he wanted, he always wanted a hot dog stand and he wanted, he wanted a lunch truck because he's been fascinated with them our entire lives. Yeah. He bought a route of like six lunch trucks and just, you know, bought a route off these people, but it just feel like completely tanked. It just didn't work out.

The Roach coaches, baby. You got to love them. Oh, and they were really old and shitty and they were always breaking down. It was a hot dog. Dude, a hot dog from one of them things was fucking OK, man. They cooked them in something else on those carts, man. Oh, yeah, I know. I used to, you know, clean them and all this stuff.

Yeah, it was just a, but that was his dream. He wanted to do that for some reason. I don't know what it is with dads in the, from the Northeast. For some reason, they think Florida is like fucking, you know, like it's just the end all big going on to Florida. That's all they all want to do is go to fucking Florida. I don't get it. Well, his mom and his brother live down there.

We go down there like once or twice a year for vacation. OK, we had a lot of family down there, you know, so he just decided to take a chance. It didn't work out. I love the ball back. I love the ball for leaving a good job. You know, we had seven kids. So, you know, you had to feed a lot of mouths. So, leaving a good job in New York City to try that, you know, try that out just

didn't work out for. What did he do in the city? He was a count for a Dunn and Bradstree. OK, you know, middle class. Yeah, seven of us, you know, so crazy seven. God damn the Irish Catholics. They don't pull out. I know, I'm the same.

My mom's one of nine and it's like, we're like fucking ticks, dude. Everywhere we go, I meet cousins. It's ridiculous. Yeah, I know. I got 14 niece and nephew. All they marry track of them. And I'm I'm 33 and I just got man, but it's like New York 33. We don't have kids, you know what I mean?

And they're like, they're like, I had five kids by the time I was your age. I'm like, yeah, it's not happening over here. Slow it down. Yeah, yeah, they started like 2021. They married the first person and that was it. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. Seven kids. So, did you guys grow up in a single family home?

Would you guys have your own plate? You're like, there was like an apartment or anything? No, we had a house. Nice. Yeah. So classic. Yeah, we play a classic, you know, white picket fence, basketball court in the back, you know, playing baseball sports.

My dad was, you know, the coach, manager, all that stuff, you know, was always the gate, always came to the game. So it was nice, you know, closing the community. It was cool. In the neighborhood, we all just get together and just, you know, wreck shit. All the kids were wild. Yeah, nothing's better than wrecking shit, dude. That's the, as a kid, finding something you can fucking break in the woods or

something is fucking second to none, dude. Yeah. Just to kick things off since you brought it there. Did you guys have a garage growing up? Yeah. Inside that garage, did you have an extra refrigerator, like an old beat up refrigerator, with sodas and shit like that? No, we never had that.

We never had a second refrigerator. No garage fridge, I don't know. Yeah, I'm surprised. You figure we might have had one like in the laundry room where the laundry was possibly a second one. Okay. I can't remember though. We always use that laundry room, the top of the washer and dryer.

We'd put a sheet over top of that for parties. And that's where the bar, yeah, that's where the bar would be. Oh, that's a good idea. Catch a rant late night sitting on that thing later, huh? Sweet vermouth and cherries all over. But the garage bridge is like an indicator of like trashy, of like, you know, middle-class family because they can't come to terms with throwing out a refrigerator. So they just keep it somewhere else in their house, you know what I mean?

To them, it's this huge purchase. So they put it in the basement, the laundry room, the garage. So it's like a signifier of a level of trashiness. And I grew up with one in the garage from like 19, you know, it was from like 1964. So yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, if they did have a second one, it was because, you know, they, we couldn't fit the food in there. And then one, kids stretched out at you and your brothers and sisters.

Pretty close in age is a 12 year difference between seven of us. Oh, my mom was popping them out like every year. And then it was like every other year towards the end and check a couple of years off at the last one. We're pretty close. How was that rotation trying to use the fucking bathroom down there? That must have been insane. Yeah.

You know, it's like, well, I always say, because I didn't masturbate until I was 21. And I said, I shared a room with two of my other brothers. So there's no time. I can never end a bathroom job to get in, get out. So I just didn't have any personal place to do it. Oh, my God. You would have caught me in the woods or something. There's no way I could have lasted till 21.

I mean, I was looking at dirty magazines in the woods, like, you know, we have our little fort, you know, we build a little fucking little stash. Everybody had that. It's what we do. But we go to garage sales and get them like a dime, old playboys or penthouses and we go to go in the woods and keep them in our fort, you know, and then we get fireworks and blow up, you know, blockbusters and 80s and shit like that. So yeah, see, that's the funny thing is one of the reasons why we wanted to have the honest

because Kevin's a little bit younger than me. I'm 44. So he's a 90s kid. I'm an 80s kid. And technically you would be a 70s kid. Yeah, pretty much. And even the difference between those things, it's like in the 80s, you know, when I was a kid, I wouldn't find playboys at a yard sale.

That's 70s shit right there. Yeah, that was definitely 70s shit and a lot of fireworks and I don't know about the 80s, but in the 70s is a ton of fireworks selling fireworks at a yard. We got them from, I don't know where we got them from, but we were always setting them off. You know, M80s, blockbusters, blowing up people's mailboxes. Yeah. Your generation was really like, your generation was like the ones that lost the finger, fell

off the high dive, fucking cracked their head open at the roller rink. So all that stuff started going away. We used to bring fire, throw them at concerts, like a pack of firecrackers and stuff. That was a big thing back in that when my brothers, my older brothers would take me is that people lighten up fireworks or shows and just throw them in the crowd. She's gonna close like an inside concert. Yeah, a pack of firecrackers just wing it and just, you know, right by someone's head. They're looking around like, who did that?

And you just, you know, pretend you didn't do it. That's crazy. That was when you can't even like take your shirt off anymore at a concert. Back then it was just, have you ever looked at it like a sporting game, like a sporting event? Everybody's like smoking cigs inside their fucking long hair, shirts off, the players were smoking. Yeah.

And then also they used to always pass a joint around like the joint was always passed along and you just take a hit off and you didn't even know who started passing, but I was like the thing to do. Or what was in it? It was like a pay a forward thing. Everybody just, you've got a joint pass it around to everybody in your aisle, wherever you were sitting at a show. So I was getting high at like 12, 14 years old going to concerts.

What concerts were you going to? I saw, you know, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Arrowsmith, Ted Nugent, I had older brothers that would take me and my parents like, all right, you could take them, just take care of them. Like, yeah. They were like four or five years old. It was great. Yeah.

Don't tell mom. Like, I'm not going to tell her I'm smoking weed. Yeah. Why would I fucking tell her I was smoking weed? You don't tell her either. Yeah. Exactly. Damn.

That's fucking. That's a child. Yeah. Smoking weed at 17. At 17, I was like, I don't like this. I don't like the feeling. Yeah. I get tired of it.

Yeah. I smoke maybe three times since. I was the same. I started like 14 or 15. We stole it from like someone's mom or something, you know, and got high in the woods and I had a panic attack at 13 years old when you don't know what a panic attack is. You really freaked the fuck out. Now I'm like, oh, I'm panicking.

But dude, when you think the feds are after you, when you're 13, smoking a three foot bong, shit gets a little dicey. It does. Well, those concerts must have been crazy because that was, I mean, that was fucking lawless. You're just, there's no scan. You're just ripping a ticket. Would they sneak you in and shit like that and like make you hide in the trunk and all

that crap? No, you can get in at any age. My dad used to take me to pro-wrestling matches at Madison Square Garden. You had to be, I think, either 14 or 16 to get in. I think it was 16 because it was blood usually at those matches. Yeah. And you had to be, so I used to wear my mom's high heel shoes, like the kids platform shoes and wear like long jeans so you couldn't see.

So I looked taller so I can get in because my dad's like, look, I'm not going to go from Jersey. Take the train to Madison Square Garden and you can't get in. So I was like, so we said, all right, let's just make you, make you look taller for some reason. And it worked. I never got stopped. I was 14 going.

I was supposed to be 16. He'd give you a briefcase to look professional walking in. Don't fuck this up for me, kid. I know. Because then we'd have to get the train away. We already got the tickets and all that stuff. So I respect it. I would have done the same thing.

If you look at that old wrestling stuff, like in the seventies, they have it on like YouTube or the WWE. There was hardly any kids at those shows who's all like grown men wrestling. Now it's the opposite. That's fucking awesome. Let's go into the Florentine house. Now your dad was a fan of wrestling or he took, he took, oh, so it wasn't, he wasn't taking you.

He's like, I'm going. You can come with me. Oh yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. That's why you were jamming up his night probably. Yeah. If I couldn't get in, forget it.

He probably would have just left me at Penn Station. All right. Let's go into the Florentine house growing up, growing up. Obviously the bathroom was probably a chaotic situation. Do you remember what kind of soap your mom would get you? Obviously it was probably a bar. You remember what it was? If I had to guess, it was probably the cheapest soap because my dad had, you know, seven kids.

So he'd probably get it at, like no frills was a brand back then. Yeah. I remember that. No. Is that a real thing? Yeah. It was a real thing. It was called no frills.

Oh, that's garbage. They would sell like paper towels, paper plates, probably soap. I remember there was one aisle in the store, like a half an aisle, it was just no frills shit. So some of the stuff he would get would be in the no frills aisle. So it was definitely cheap soap. I don't think it was Ivory because Ivory was like the top in a line then. That was the Cadillac.

What do you use now? Do you use like gel or did you step it up a little bit now that, you know, you're older and got a little bit of cash or do you still go no frills? No, you know, I used to always take them from the hotels and use that. That's garbage. That is a garbage. Yeah. I always take them like I'm taking them, taking them and using them home.

Taking the hairdryer and the robes and shit. Yeah. Take the iron, you know, I took the soap and the shampoos and conditions for years. Yeah. But now I probably just, yeah, probably better. I don't know what soap it is. I got it. I don't know, but it's not shitty soap.

Yeah. It's just good. Yeah. My friend's actually got a boutique. So I get her soap there. It's probably some organic shit, but I just do it to support her. There you go. Little boutique action.

Now, let me ask you, do you think your garbage or no, what would you say? Yeah. I know. I've been a fan for years, listened to all your stuff. So I definitely know you're definitely a little rough around the edges when it comes to like partying and girls and stuff like that, but I don't know if you're garbage. You seem pretty. Well, what garbage means.

Yeah, it depends. There are no thrills is in a good start. I can tell you that. Yeah. Stealing the shampoo from the fucking Motel 6. That was nothing. I mean, you know, is it garbage when we're out tailgate and we have this one drunk friend that gets so drunk.

He doesn't know where he is half the time and we pissed him in a coffin. We gave it to him as a beer and he drank it. Is that I mean, is that garbage because we had a good time, whatever it is, that is a good fucking time. He made that face. Oh, you went like this. And then just kept talking. What is it?

Is that important? It was 90 degrees out. So he's like, all right, they just gave me a one beer, you know, for he wasn't, but that was Casey made. He wasn't sure. And then he just kept talking about 30 seconds later. I love how we muscle through that to a friend. Oh, you still talk to that guy?

Yeah. Dude, as fun as the 80s and 90s were, like growing up in the suburbs, the 70s must have been fucking awesome. I just remember, you know, as a kid, I grew up like I had this neighborhood. All of us were friends. We had a baseball field like we had a pool community pool. And it was a baseball field there. We had the woods in our backyard.

We got home from school at three o'clock. I think maybe we did a homework for a half hour. And then our parents said, okay, be back home at six o'clock for a day. That was it. And you were gone for two and a half hours every day, playing football in someone's backyard. We had the baseball field. We get a game together there, or we just go in the woods and just, you know, fucking just mess around.

Yeah. Look at those magazines, let our fireworks or just hang out. Yeah. Yeah. So it was just like be, be almost six o'clock and that was it. So that was pretty, you know, it was great. We're all pretty much friends, all the kids in the neighborhood. We'd all get together.

You had our little cliques and all that stuff. So yeah, that was pretty much what we did. That community pool is not there anymore, right? Yeah. It's still there. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. So that would be open, you know, Memorial Day to Labor Day or whatever. So we go down there and, you know, we'd always try to get the lifeguard wet. We'd jump off the diving board and do a cannonball and try to get him wet sitting up there. That's all we did the whole day. Yeah. And we knew where he was going. He was like, you guys are assholes, you know, because you jump right by like, you know,

almost by the, you know, right underneath them, jump way out there, get him with a cannonball and your friend goes, yeah, you got him wet, they would just be mad or whatever. Just being dicks. Now, did you, at my swim club, we did it. I thought it was normal, but the more we do this show, no one knows what the fuck I'm talking about. They, like the pool people used to grease a watermelon and throw it in and then you would have to like try to get it to the other end of the pool.

There was like teams. Did you guys do that at all? No. I never heard that. Yeah. Apparently my town was just a bunch of fucking hillbillies, I guess. Yeah. I never heard of that.

Did you ever go away to like day camp or sleep away camp or anything like that? No. No. Amps. Yeah. That was always like rich kid shit I felt like. Yeah. I would never go to a sleep away camp.

That's crazy. Yeah. I always heard a lot of the rich kids, the parents didn't want to be around them in the summer. So what would you do most summers? Just play baseball in the backyard, basketball, whatever, you know, baseball went from till like the middle of July and then I played football for a little while too. So that started like August 1st.

Oh, we just hang out. Yeah. Just hang out and you know, play stickball. That was a big thing we played when we were kids. Stickball was fucking great. Yeah. All right. Let's lock into some questions here.

Take it off. I gotcha. Hmm. Have you ever snuck onto a golf course to go sledding? No. Okay. Have you ever stuck on a golf course to do something more fucked up? No, I was never, no, no, I've never, you know, I've never, I've been golfing like two

times before. I'm a lefty. They never had clubs. I didn't want to buy clubs and I want to get up at six o'clock in the morning and they go fucking golf when I'm on the ropes. A lot of comedians would do that. Yeah. A lot of people.

I never really got into it. No, I never snuck on a, it was, I've never really around golf courses. We did that in Philly. My dad took us and I'm like, my dad, we were like hopping, I was a kid and we were, I remember hopping a fence with my dad and I think if like to break into the course, I'm thinking anytime you have to hop a fence and like with your father or parental figure, it's never a good sign. You're doing something wrong.

So you went sleigh riding on the golf course? Yeah. Like at night we would break in, like we would like sneak onto the course and he would, they like throwing kids over the fence so we could like go, you know, end up ruining the fairway or whatever. Nice. All right. Let's get back into the house here.

Growing up, what, what brand of chocolate milk would your mom get you? No chocolate milk. No chocolate milk in the house at all. Was your mom hardcore? No, my dad just, you know, there was too many of us that would be gone in two seconds. So he wouldn't buy it because it was just, you know, we'd fight over it and, you know, he's just like, I got to feed seven kids. I can't afford chocolate milk.

Your dad was the one that went to the grocery store. That's the picture I'm getting. Oh yeah. He would drag us to go with him. You know, he picked two or three of us and he'd go to like four or five different stores because he always had coupons. I'm like, dad, you're driving, you're driving 15 more miles to go save 50 cents. I can't even figure it out as a kid.

Yeah. Start doing the math in the backseat. He loved the bargain. Yeah. He had a Cadillac but he loved to save 50 cents on eggs. Yeah. That's awesome. What, what grocery store do you go to now?

That's a big one. There's like a Wegmans near my house. Wegmans is clean living. I used to go to in the beginning but I don't really go to anymore but yeah, pretty much like way. There's also like this local Italian place near my house, which is great. They're the best. They got the best rolls, the best meats a lot of times.

So I go to support them, you know, the local businesses. That's great. You live in a single family home now or is it a condo? Single family home. So do you have a garage fridge now? No, but I have one in my basement. It just, just with beer. Nice.

Yeah. Second fridge just for drinks and drinks. Yeah. There's only beer. Yeah. And I have another little like Monster Energy refrigerator I got from the company. Oh. They gave it to me.

And I just, but I only have water and like, you know, sparkling water drinks in there for kids like my son and his friends. That's awesome. Yeah. But the refrigerator is just beer downstairs. I don't care. I don't have any beer in the refrigerator upstairs. Yeah.

Do you, uh, is your basement finished? Yeah. Do you have like, sorry, go. Was it finished when you bought the house or did you remodel? That's the only reason I bought the house. It was a finished basement with a bar. With a bar. That's great.

Yeah. I don't give a fuck about anything else. I don't care that it's a 1970s toilet. I don't care. The wallpaper. Yeah. It was a finished basement. I'm like, I'm in.

That's awesome. That's, that's a big, that's a big middle-class suburban dream is to have that finished basement with a bar. That's like every dad's dream. Oh yeah. Yeah. Every one of my friends has it too. Yeah.

But yeah. Do you have any games? Do you have like a ping pong table or a pool table bumper pool or the top of the line is a shuffleboard? If you can get your hands on a shuffleboard, but yeah, shuffleboard, but where would you put the shuffleboard though? People have them in their basements. If they have like a big basement, they have like, yeah, like the, like the ones at the

bar that you slide the metal disc. Oh, right. One of those. Yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. No, I, I have that like a pop a shot.

That's pretty legit. I got it in the garage with my, my son and his friends to play. That's nice. That's pretty legit. And I got to tell you, as a little kid, you, you'd come across it every once in a while, but from your son's perspective, his friends, if I walked into somebody's house and they had like, like, you're like, you're saying like the, the, the Red Bull cooler or whatever or something like that, that she like, what the fuck does your dad do?

I used to blow you away when you'd see something like that. Yeah. They love it. You know, cause they, they could go in there and they got drinks and then I over like a, you know, a cabinet where there's all snacks in there. So they'll go down there and they just hang out down there and open them up and get their drinks. I just say, stay away from the booze.

They know that. You know, they're young anyway, but the pop a shot thing was only like 300 bucks. I thought it was going to be like three grand. I'm like, I thought 300. I'm like, all right, 300 bucks. I don't get it. Yeah. Oh, that's so trashy.

That's awesome. Dude, my body had one growing up. We would spend fucking hours in the basement doing that. Hours. Yeah. So, you know, he's got that. It's good for his friends come over and stuff, but yeah, it's good to have a refrigerator. You separate the booze, you split the water into one, you know, to sparkling grape drinks,

whatever the fuck that is. You put them in there too with the waters and, you know, the other refrigerators all beer just liquor. Yeah. That's the American dream, man. What kind of snacks do you hook up for the little guy now? You know, they got chips, popcorn, pretzels. Old school.

Yeah. Yeah. You get him any Go-Gurts or any Lunchables or anything like that? He doesn't. None of that shit. No. Now he's regular stuff. You know what I just found?

And I, you know, I used to eat this as a kid. I don't know if it was, I remember in the seventies, my dad would always get us his tree tavern frozen pizza. Tree. I don't know that. Tree tavern. Yeah. It was a frozen pizza you buy and I used to eat it as kids and it was, it was amazing,

right? And I just saw it. I was in a quick check the other day getting shit. I saw it in there like, oh, I haven't seen this fucking thing in 25 years and now my kid loves it. So I go to quick check to get tree tavern pizza and I had a kid and he loves it now. What the fuck's a quick check? It's like a, a wah-wah.

Yeah. Like a convenience store. Yeah. It's a convenience store. Yeah. I thought it was a check cashing place. It tells this. Okay.

Frozen pizza, you know. Yeah. They got the North American distribution rights. The quick check though. Must be. Yeah. Nothing's better than a good frozen pizza, man. You get your hands on a good frozen pizza.

I'm a, it's, it's bougie to me. We grew up with Toonstone, but now I get in the French bread, Stouffer's French bread is fucking clean living. Elio's pizza was another one we used to have. Oh. Yeah. Being, being Elio's family. Those pizza in a couple episodes of Hogan's Heroes fucking good night.

We were so trashy. I think we called it Elio's for the longest time. Heck of Elio's, Elio's. Yeah. I think it's as I got older, I'm like, we were saying it wrong for fucking 15 years. So your dad would hook you up with that. He'd get you, he'd get you Elio's pizza. Would he get you like, what was the ice cream situation there?

Would he be able to bring that shit in the house or would it be ravaged? He would like Friday was pizza night. So you, you don't, you have the pizza on Friday. That was the thing. Sometimes you could get it from a pizza place, but at other times we'd just have Elio's and we were happy with that. The ice cream definitely wasn't Briar's. If there was Briar's, cause that was like the top brand at the time, that was his ice

cream. You couldn't touch it. Oh. You couldn't note on it. Dad's. So we get the more, the, whatever, the generic, not the no more, the mother ice cream, which was fine as a kid. I don't give a shit.

Yeah. We would get the, the big, the one in the big, clear tub. Like remember it was like, it was like, it was like a four gallon or that would be sitting in our freezer for fucking most of the summer. But there was a lot of, any of the real good stuff, expensive stuff, there's always had a dad's note on it that you couldn't touch it. Yeah. Don't touch.

Yeah. My dad was a sherbet guy and I was not touching that as a little kid. I was like, give me the fucking, give me the chocolate and vanilla swirl, buddy. Don't keep that fruit shit to yourself. You don't like sherbet. You're not a sherbet guy. I mean, it's all right, but as a kid, you'd watch rather ice cream. Yeah.

I thought it was like French or something. I'm like, get the fuck out of my house. What's this Russian? Get this commie shit out of my fucking house. Okay. All right. I got one. Has anyone in your family ever owned a Dodge neon?

Probably not. I used to get beer from a guy who drove a Toyota Tercello. It's probably Florentine. Yeah. I sold it to somebody after it had like a hundred and ninety three thousand. I still got like a grand for the car. Was it the hatchback one? No.

No, yeah. Was it? Yeah. It was the four door. I was doing comedy a couple of years and I got a college agent somehow and I made like six grand in like a couple of months doing colleges, like 750 bucks a piece, I never had that much money ever and I took that money and I put it down on a brand new car. So I said, I'm going to be doing all these gigs.

So I bought a Tercello was like nine thousand. I put six thousand down on nine thousand dollar car, paid the rest off or whatever and just went out and bought a brand new Toyota Tercello and drove it for probably like seven years. Damn. It was amazing and never broke down once and needed tires every thirty, forty thousand miles. But other than that, the oil change was an amazing car. Yeah.

Those cars were so the American car industry got fucking crucified. I hated it. I really wanted to buy American, you know, my friend was buying Ford. I'd like to buy a Ford, but are you going to pick me up on the side of the road at three in the morning? Yeah. Dude, I had, I had a Chevy. My first one was a ninety five Chevy Lumina, I think like an old like grandfather car,

you know, dude, and that thing broke down every, there was something wrong with it every two days. Every two days it was like, ah, 300 bucks a year, 250 there, 20 there. Yeah. I would have killed for it or so. Yeah. Hi, Fully. What do you got?

I want to stay in the car with him. Did you ever or do you now have a radar detector in your car? I used to. Definitely. I have one for a little while, but it was so annoying, it would go off all the time. Yeah. Yeah. It didn't work.

Yeah. I maybe had it for like six months. I tried it. I don't really speed that much, you know. So I was like, what do I need this thing for? And it would constantly go off and just didn't know what the shit out of me. So staying in the car as well, did you ever have a CB radio? No.

Okay. Did you ever own an Iraq Z, a Transam or a Z 28? No. I was never a car guy. I've always been like, even now I got a Honda cord. I was never big in the cars and flashy shit. I'm like, I don't need that stuff. Okay.

I won't try to impress. I don't know. To me, some of my family members, they love the cars and shit like that. Me, I'm just like, I just want satellite radio and cruise control. I tell my sister in air condition, she goes, well, that comes with every car. I go, that's all I want. That's all I need. She helps me get a car.

Wait, do you use cruise control now? Do you still use cruise control? Yeah. Always, especially on the highway, if it's 65, I'll set it for like 72 when I won't get pulled over. So I just keep it at 72. Even when I'm driving through a 40 mile an hour zone, I'll put it at like 43, 44. I just use cruise control.

On the regular street, see, I'm always worried that like, I'll forget that I'm driving. It's like your foot's, you know, your foot's just chilling there. Well, don't you see a car in front of you? And you know, you know, I still pay attention. He's not the sharpest tool for what I'm doing. Yeah, no, the cruise control is great because then you just set it where you know, all right, I'm not going to get a speeding ticket. You know, I'm not going to set it at 90 in a 55, but I know I can get away with 65 in

a 55. There you go. I don't think I've ever used it. Have you ever put bumper stickers on your car? Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was like the first couple of cars, mostly like Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Jude Spreest, Motorhead.

I never put anything on after that. And then I realized this is immature. Yeah, you're doing it as an adult. It's a tough one. I already got Black Sabbath cranking from my stereo system with the windows open with a super loud system so everybody can hear. Do I really need a bumper sticker too? Did you, do you have a sound system in your car now, like an upgraded system?

No, but I did. That's the first thing you did when you were a kid. You got your amazing sound system. I think the sound system, my first car cost $300. The sound system was, I spent more on that. Yeah, that's a real garbage thing, dude. I did the same thing. I did, I spent like 700 bucks to put a CD player in my, in my fucking Chevy Lumina.

And it was like this big, I'm going to take the whole dash out. It didn't go back on. It was a mess. Yeah. Is the Toyota a stick or an automatic? I can't remember if you said that. It was a stick. It was a stick.

Man, that's fucking, kids don't add or drive stick anymore. Yeah, and the stick, you know, I looked at it like this, okay, I could drive a stick and I'm going to be doing mostly highway mileage, you know, driving these gigs. And then also we get, you got better gas mileage to a stick over a better mileage. Yeah, I never even learned. Never learned to drive stick? I valed once, I valed one summer and they like taught me in the parking, like I could like get it from where it was into the parking spot, but a stick car would come in like once

every, you know, 10 weeks, never happened. What jobs did you have growing up as a kid, Jim? Dishwasher, busboy and landscaping. Yeah. Three of the big ones. How old were you when you started working? 14. Yeah.

That's a big thing on the show is like what you learn as a 14 year old when you have like, when you're working with like real men or like ex cons or like people getting back on their feet, the shit you learn as a 14 year old washing dishes, you can't learn anywhere else. Yeah. It was a busboy and dishes and yeah, pretty much I've been working, I maybe taken three to Corona virus is the longest I've worked since I was 14 years old. I always had two, three, then I worked in a hardware store.

You know, I worked in the garden shop and I would make deliveries like lawn mowers and stuff like that. So I did that for a while, but yeah, I was always about 14 is when I started. Nice. Do you currently own any Omaha steaks? No. Never had. Good.

Never had them. No. Clancy. Okay. Has anyone in your family ever been in the contraption known as a money booth where you stand in the telephone booth and grab the money that blows around? I'd say probably not. Okay.

Yeah, I don't think so. They made my mom do it at the car dealership the one time. I was embarrassed to say the least fucking grown woman reaching for $1 bills to lower her monthly payment. Have you ever gotten a haircut outside? It's usually not by a license professional. I used to go to my friend's house. His wife would cut my hair.

I was trying to think if we ever did outside, but I've done it in her kitchen before. Yeah. That's classy. Growing up, did who cut your hair when you guys were kids? They take it to the barber and your mom or dad do it? No, we took us to the barber. Okay. Yeah.

Have you ever had your picture taken in one of those old timey photos? No, I hate that. Oh, they're the fucking worst. They're worst. I remember being with girlfriends and I want to do that on the booth. We walk over and I'm like, I'm not doing that. Yeah. Yeah, because then you guys break up and then you're the fucking dickhead in the picture

with the new guy that's banging and they're like, who the fuck is this? Yeah, I know. Yeah, I don't want to be like that. With like a fake Tommy Gunn and a stupid fucking hat on? Get out of here. Get out of here. Do you currently own a drone? No.

All right. Have you ever owned a paintball gun? No. A t-shirt gun? No. No? What's he doing? Half time at the Knicks games?

Never went paintball. I never did that before. I mean, the t-shirt gun, I figured he could have picked one up over the years. Oh, yeah, I could see that. I don't know. Have you ever sold anything in a flea market? No, but I would go to a flea market and buy stuff. Yeah.

That was a big thing. There's a flea market near my house and me and my friends would go there every Saturday and Sunday, one of the days, and just walk around and buy used albums or get sneakers there, whatever. So we'd always- That was the fucking best. There was a big thing for us. And I bring my kid there, the same one I used to go to, just buy used shit.

Yeah. I think it's the unknown too, because you're like, you'll get like a pocket knife or like somebody would have fireworks or something. It was like, shit, you shouldn't be buying. You could get a kid at a flea market. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Where I got fireworks last year, I got them all at this flea market, and I can't let

them off on my part. Yeah. You got to- I always had to ask for the good stuff. It would be like some Asian lady. Yeah. And they'd be in the back of the car. They wouldn't-

Back in the van. Yeah. We used to get used sneakers there too. Oh. Like they would sell used sneakers. They were, you know, they weren't that worn. But we'd get them for like 15 bucks. Yeah.

And a pair would usually be like 40, and we'd buy them. That's great. Did you ever get arrested when you were a kid? Never. Not once. Well. Pretty sweet. Pretty nice.

Do you, did you ever wear a t-shirt in the pool? I would say, yeah, as a kid? Yeah. No. Okay. And we'd go swimming all the time. No, I never did that. You weren't chubby as a kid were you?

Were you a chubby kid or skinny kid? Oh, super skinny. Yeah. You're in good shape. You're silky. You're still in good shape. Well, I just, yeah. I guess there wasn't enough food to go around.

That's true. Yeah. You didn't even have the bougie ice cream. I remember I weighed 87 pounds when I was in seventh break because I was on the wrestling team. Jesus. Damn. Yeah.

So, yeah. 87. My son just like 87, yeah. Go ahead, kid. All right. Have you ever had the Oscar Meyer cheese dogs with the cheese already in them? Come on. No.

What? This guy's bougie, man. I know. I have Oscar Meyer baloney in that pack. Yeah. Yeah. You have to rip the ends off. You can never eat the ends of that.

I know, dude. That was, that was definitely cancerous, that rubber shit. That was awesome. Sure was. You weren't a liverwurst guy, were you? No, not liverwurst, but that baloney was nasty. Oh, I fucking love Oscar Meyer. I liked it when I, when I, when I was a kid, I remember trying it like probably like 15

years ago. You know what I had the other day? It's pretty fucking good. I bought a bag of the Hormel's pre-sliced pepperoni and was just popping those. They were fucking, I haven't done that in a decade. That's clean living right there. Hormel was real shifty, man. That was right up there with Dinty Moore beef stew.

Do you remember that, Jim? No, I don't remember that. Dinty Moore beef stew was like fucking roadkill meat. It was terrible. I was a chunky man. I don't know about you guys. We got chill on our ass. Salami, did you guys, we had salami.

Yeah, we always got salami. That was nasty too. And when it came on that roll, like he would roll like it came like a long, like a foot long thing. Yeah, it was a tough look in the, in the cafeteria because you knew there was three kids in the cafeteria that had fucking salami on their lunch and you could pinpoint them out like they were Google Maps. Yeah, reach and blush and whenever you burp too.

That hangs with you for a couple of days. Just a burp and then burp burping to people, you know, my friend's face is like, oh my God. That's too fucking funny. That's good. All right. Let's see here. Did any of your homes ever had green carpeting?

Um, yeah, I just, I'm trying to remember. Yes, there was green something. Yeah. Yeah. It's always, it's always a weird vibe. Sorry, go. Yeah. There was green somewhere, definitely.

If you still have green carpeting, it's definitely time to update. If anybody still has, he just looked at the, like shit. Do you currently still use spray on deodorant? Yes. You do. You're using spray. What do you got? Right?

Card? Um, no, it's some, I don't know, some like organic shit. Okay. That's all. The organics. Whatever. Like that. I used to break out like if I used that regular shitty deodorant, I don't know.

I'd always break, I'd be sweating like a maniac. And I always, I always had sweat, but I always had big pit stains when I was a kid, which was the worst. Oh, that's bad. Never wanted to be in class with big pit stains. I used to put toilet paper under my armpits and dry it up. Yep. A piece of toilet paper sticking out when I'm in class.

That shit never was, so I finally found like the spray that works. But then I would use the roll on like that Tom stuff I tried to, that worked for a little while. It is. See, I don't think any of that organic shit works. Good. I want, I want fucking flex seal. I want.

You need the aluminum. It's the aluminum that stops it. So all like the organic shit doesn't have the aluminum, but some of them you can get that'll fucking like, like quarterizes the fucking, there was no better smell than men in Speedstick. So good. It was good. I'd be pitting out like, like I just ran a marathon in a fucking in a desert within

10 minutes with that on, but it smelled amazing. I know. I had like a little bit of hand of like medicinal smell to it. You know what I mean? Yeah. And girls loved it too. That smell, but it's just like, you know, no girls coming near me when I'm pitting out and I'm in air conditioning.

Were you a, are you a cologne guy? Never. Never. I get bored for a little bit. I don't believe in cologne. Do you remember what you wore? It's overrated. Do you remember what you wore when you wore it for a little bit?

A brood. Oh, brood is a fucking man's cologne. Buddy. An old spice. Old spice. Yeah. Old spice. Did your pop work cologne?

Yeah. He wore cologne. What did he go for? Probably, probably brood too. I think that's why I originally discovered it in his bathroom. Yeah. That's old school. My stepdad's a Stetson man still.

Hey dude. Dude, every bottle comes with fucking spurs on those things. Yeah. I'm gonna stop with the perfume, I don't know, with the cologne. I don't know. I don't even like when a girl wears a lot of perfume and fucking turns me off. Yeah. You're like tasting it and shit.

It's all over your hands. Yeah. Yeah. It's gross. Going up, did your family have an electric bug zapper in the backyard at any point? Never. Kippy. Okay.

Have you ever had a KFC bowl? No. I don't know what that is. Okay. It's just a bowl of fucking shit. It's like layers of like, it starts off with, I don't even think they make it anymore, but it starts off with like mashed potatoes, gravy, cheese, corn, chicken, cheese again, I think.

Okay. No. It's just like a whole mess of whatever they got back in a fucking bowl and they give it to you. Sounds pretty good to me. Yeah. You know, we had a KFC once in a while, maybe like twice a year, my dad would splurge and we'd go to Kentucky Fried Chicken because that was the top of the line stuff.

So like twice a year, he'd bring the family there or he'd bring it back home when we'd eat it. What was the last time you ate fast food in your car? You just sat there and ate it? Oh yeah. I took my kid to White Castle a few weeks ago. There you go. That's a good dad right there.

Yeah. We watched. How old? How old? Two more. Oh yeah. Go to White, how old? Go to White Castle.

And it was one right, I did it as one right by our house. So we went to the drive-thru, it was open and we sat in the park a lot and ate it. That's the fucking best man. That's the absolute best. Have you ever been to Cancun? Yes. For what was it for? There were comedy shows there.

Okay. They were doing comedy shows. This book, the Shady Booker book. Every booker ever is a Shady Booker. He goes, you're going to Cancun, I think we'll get like 300 dollars for the week. I'm like, I don't think we're doing shows like six days out of a week. Okay. We get there, there's only one hotel room for three comedians because we're staying in

the resort and the comedy club's in the resort. The first night all three of us slept in the same bed. Jesus Christ. And we called a guy, we're trying to get in contact with him from Cancun. You know, and then we wound up getting a second room, so we had two rooms, but yeah, it was shady. But it was great. Cancun was great.

Who were those comedians? Do we know them? Are they still around? No. No. One was this guy, Danny Vermont, he's a writer for Bill Marshall, he's been out in LA for a long time. Okay.

And I can't remember the other guy, but it was, it was sketchy. And then we went to a strip club, we told the tax, and he took us like 20 miles outside of Cancun, in the middle of nowhere. And every minute you go, you're getting more and more nervous. I'm like, where the fuck are you taking me? If you ever see, you ever see from Dustle Dawn, when they go to strip clubs, I popped up in the middle of nowhere, in Mexico, that's where it felt like. We went in like five minutes, like we're going to get killed, and Lucky to Cab was

still there, and he took us back. Have you ever gone to any of the resorts, like sandals, or hedonism, or anything like that? No. Okay. What about a cruise? You a cruise guy? I went on one cruise with an ex-girlfriend, I hated it.

You don't seem like a cruise guy at all. There is like a heavy metal cruise, it's called Monsters of Rock Cruise. Every year we have a bunch of different bands, I don't like bands from the 80s, and I go on every, the last four years where I'll host, I'll introduce the bands, I do a comedy show, so I do that. So yeah. That's working though. But yeah, I wouldn't go if I wasn't getting paid.

Yeah. Have you ever gambled at an Indian casino? Yeah. I'm not a big gambler, but I've gambled a little, yeah, at an Indian casino, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Have you ever hung out at an OTB? Yeah.

I had a friend that was a big gambler, and he would go there, so I'd be in there, I'm like, this is pathetic. That's a sad scene. He was in really good shape, I said, you're the only guy with six pack abs in an OTB. Just know that ever. It's a bad lineup every time you go in there, man. All the fucking tickets on the ground and shit. That's when you know you got a gambler problem.

Oh yeah. You're not even going to the track. I'll go to the track and make a day out of it. You see the horses. Yeah. Someone like BYOB. That's an event. But if you're at the fucking OTB and Queens or like Newark or something, you really fucked

up. It was the same time I was bringing him to one of my gigs, and we had a listen to like a flyer exhibition game on the radio, on an AMS Panic radio, because he had the under in the front. What's the under on a hockey game, Zeke? I don't know what it was, maybe one and a half or two, whatever it was, and I'm like, you got to be kidding me. I can't listen to this.

He goes, no, come on. They got to score. I need one more. An exhibition game, too. What the fuck? It wasn't even a regular season. You bet on the Pro Bowl, like a fucking second. I can't turn it down to commercial.

I'm like, this is when you just see your rock bottom. This is it. Oh man, I think that's fucking so funny. I think I only got one more left here. Have you ever requested to sit in a smoking section? I don't think so. Maybe, you know, probably because by when the restaurant and there was only tables in the smoking section, my guy put me over there.

So yeah, I would say I did that. Yeah. That was we, I mean, I lived in the smoking section all through the night. I thought you were a pussy. If you didn't, my dad, we would just go in and be like smoking, table for full or smoking. We were just hanging out and a fucking people were just baking it out with new ports the whole time. Yeah.

Because I was, you know, before I did comedy, I was a DJ in a rock club and then the comedy club. So I was always in smoke. Yeah. My guy, I didn't like it, but I was like, whatever, the smoke, I'll just deal with it. So in a restaurant, I don't give a shit. That was an occupation. Now if I feel so much smoking around me, it freaks me out.

I know. It's weird. Yeah. That was an occupational hazard for a comedian was the smoke. I mean, you were, if you were in clubs seven nights a week and they were just smoking in there. There were some clubs like you couldn't see like a foot off the stage because of the smoke. Like you do two shows on a Saturday.

I remember in St. Louis, the club that fucking just everybody's smoking. It looked like there was a fog machine in the place. You couldn't do crowd work because you couldn't see. I just got two more questions for you. What I want to know, have you ever been or involved in a monster truck show? No. Never. I mean, I'm white trash, but not that.

I think you're kind of, dude, so far, man, your answers are pretty good. Yeah. You're all class. Just one last question would be, this is a big thing on are you garbage is growing up? Would you get milk with dinner? Did you drink milk with dinner? Jim Florentine. I would say no, because what would go with milk?

Thank you. Nothing. No dinner goes with milk. Everything goes with milk. Yeah, because like if we had cereal, obviously in the morning, we're a big cereal family. So that was the milk. And then maybe if you had cookies later, you would have milk with it. Yeah.

Never a dinner. I mean, because we either had pizza, pasta, a hamburger. So who the fuck? There's lunatics. Jim, there's lunatics out there that would sit down with a bowl of pasta and a big glass of fucking 2% and just right here. Wait, milk with what? For what dinner would you have milk with?

We'd have milk. As kids, we got milk with every single meal. Doesn't matter if it was pizza, pasta, meatloaf was a big one, hamburgers, yeah, I love all that stuff with milk. I love pizza. That's gross. When you got older, did you realize that milk wasn't on the menu or you went to a hamburger place?

That's my exact argument. Thank you. It was that whole theory with the parents is that you drink milk, your bones get bigger, you go through that whole thing. Yeah, I was good marketing by that fucking big milk. I'll tell you that. I know it was. Oh, you got a lot of calcium.

Your bones are going to grow. I think they could grow on their own. Yeah, everybody else seems to be doing all right without the milk. Ah, man, no milk with dinner. I got to tell you, Jim Florentine, you're all class in my book class. He's a classy guy. Classy guy. Might be the first like really, really true all class throughout everything.

I didn't really hear anything other than things that like, you know, the times dictated, you know, so we set off some fireworks at a concert. I told you that I had my friend, my friend, drank a cup of my dinner. Yeah. I was like 12 years ago, so it wasn't like when I was a kid, I can't say I was 12 when I did it. Oh, I thought it was fucking 12 years ago. Yeah.

We were talking about the seventies. I thought that was like Molly Hatchett or something. No. And if tomorrow if I went to a show, I'd do it to him again. Oh, my God, I'm actually mad that I'm not that I know you're I think I think you're your behaviors, garbage. I think you're upbringing. Yeah.

Your behavior. You got some questionable behavior for sure. But I think you're upbringing and you're your life now is yeah, all class, all class. You got the finished basement, you know, fucking you're shopping at a Wegmans. I mean, there's some animals out there that are like fucking, you know, yeah, organic spray on deodorant. I don't even know where you get that. That's rich guy shit right there.

It's not that expensive. You get a Wegmans. But no, but I still pit out like if I wear regular deodorant, I still have fucking you and you know, you don't want to be on stage like that before he was in the comedy, I'd be out. But you are with these huge pit stains. That's what everybody's going to be focusing on. Like what the hell's wrong with this guy?

Oh, they'd be trashing it out. Oh my God. So I just, I don't know what it works for me. I'm like, all right, if I got to pay an extra dollar for this, not to have, you know, like a same t-shirt the next day. You're all trying to become actually, we all wish we had the extra dollar for the organic deodorant and the finished basement and the dude on Monster Energy, that's trashy, but fucking clean living.

That's pretty awesome, man. I had it like a day, they endorse me for like a year or whatever. So I just go out in my podcast by Monster Energy and they sent me a catalog that you want anything. I go, I'll take the refrigerator and they're like, okay, we'll send it to you. See that's clean living. It would be trashy if you bought it, if you spent like 1200 on a monster fridge, that would be trashy.

Never. And use that as the main fridge upstairs in the kitchen. Yeah, that would be, yeah, that would be bad. I do have a Yeager mice machine in my basement. That's the, you've achieved what every garbage person wants, you've achieved it. If you were to talk to some like, you know, some bum in the central Jersey be like, hey, one day you'll have a fucking a finished basement with the basketball thing, a Monster Energy, a Yeager Meister machine, his head would explode, you know what I mean?

I guess if I put it on the kitchen, in the kitchen, the Yeager Meister machine, yeah. If it's in the bedroom, then questionable, you know. Oh my God, so fun. So I'm sticking with my original assessment, Jim Florentine, all-class kippy, all-class classy guy. I love it. Jim, thank you so much, man. This has been awesome.

Is there anything you want the folks out there to know that we didn't, that we didn't already mention?
