Yeah baby, we're starting the podcast right now! We're back, you know what dude, live. Welcome everybody to the show. I started a social media podcast. The YKW Dude Podcast. YKWD's back again. Phone School, back in the day, where it all started before them all. This podcast is so fun and crazy. It has no rules. God, how am I going to help you ruining this? I'm sorry. This isn't NPR.

Is there any better show? This is the original. What's up everybody? It's Robert Kelly. We're back for another episode of YKWD. You know what, dude? At the Comedy Cellar podcast studios above the world famous Comedy Cellar. We're excited.

I have a very special guest. One of the funniest people, I mean around now, and has been for a long time. Danny, who do we got? You have Adrian Apolucci on the show today. That's right, Adrian Apolucci. Danny, you're doing so good, by the way. Thank you. You are really just a shit producer, verbally.

Thank you. Like, behind the scenes, great, but like, when you talked, it used to bother me. But now you're great. What's up? You got the special, you did it. We did it. And it's done, directed by Louis C.K.

Yes. Crazy. And also produced by. Ari Shafir. Ari Shafir. I mean, you have two of the, my opinion, funniest, unique comics in the biz. Yeah, if it wasn't for white men, I'd be nowhere.

And nobody else is saying that, but I say that. Please keep supporting white men. Everybody should say that. Yes. I think that's a fact. Yeah. Yeah, Keith never stepped up. No women are helping me.

It is just white men. Is it really true, no women? I mean, that's not true. Not that no women have helped me, but I guess there's no, I guess, I don't know, Elaine Boozler kinda helped me early on. She could get in there with her, but like, yeah, it's supposed to have been white men.

Fucking Elaine Boozler used to be my comedy crush. Well, you could probably fuck her now. I think I feel like I could put you guys in touch and I can make that happen. I think they just call her Boozler now. Booze. Booze. Booze, yeah.

Yeah, back when she was in her prime, smoking hot. Yeah. And fucking- Very funny. Very funny, huge. She's so nice too. She loves animals. She loves boxers.

I used to have a boxer. I did a show at the Paris in Vegas. We have a picture together, me, you, and her, from like. You were with me. Yes, I was opening for her, and then I seen you there. That might be the first time I met you, or. The first time we actually hung out or something. Yeah. And you brought her by.

Yes. And I was kind of starstruck. Right, that's your crush. Well, when I was coming up, they had a lot of comedy shows, but it was usually cheesy. Evening at the Improv, Comedy Half Hours, you know, all that bullshit. So most of the comics sucked back then.

I'm sure. And, but she, her, Bob, Bobby, Slayton. Slayton, the other one, who's the other, Continental. He used to Bobby, what the fuck is his name? Bob something. Anyways, Pitbull Gun.

I don't know who that is. No, that was, that's Slayton, Bobby Slayton. Collins. No, Bobby Collins, Bobby Collins. Okay. Rosie. There was like a few people, let me, Rogan back then stood out,

but Elaine Boozler, she was smokin' hot, but fucking hilarious, and I used to love her. And then I was like, it was almost like, where did she go? And then one night you were like, yeah, I'm open to four. I'm like, what? Yeah, and then we have that picture together, the three of us. Will you send that to me? I'll have to find it, but I think I have it somewhere.

It's gotta be on your phone, right? You didn't take it with a fucking Kodak. No, but like, I don't know if I have it on my phone. It might be on like Facebook or something. I gotta find that, that was great. That was fucking a surreal night for me to meet her. How was your shows in Vegas? Oh, at the Paris?

It was fine. It did, what was it, at the little lounge? I liked it, that little lounge in there. When I go to Vegas, I always like doing that type of shit. I hated the big fucking things. I would do those, the comedy festival at the Celine Dion Theater. It was fine, but I liked the Palms.

They had that little lounge room that I used to like to do. So those people getting free tickets or they're paying to see it? Paying. Okay, good. When it's free, like nobody cares. No, no, no. Well, Old Vegas, when I worked Old Vegas,

and Old Vegas were the comedy clubs. The Riv had a comedy club. Riv? The Riviera. Oh, the Riviera, gotcha. The Riviera, you know, all these hotels had comedy clubs, but they never changed the format from Old Vegas. Back in the day.

Like all those guys used to work two shows a night for two weeks and you did three shows on Saturday, three shows on Friday. It was like a nightmare. The only night you had off was Monday because it was dark and you had to stand out at the merch booth for the RIV and sell their T-shirts and you didn't make money.

Get out of here, that sounds awful. I was so excited to get the gig. I'm working Vegas as a comic back then. I was like, holy shit. I remember Keith Robinson's work in the Harris, the improv. They changed mine to just one week, thank God. He had to do two weeks.

I caught him on the second week when I flew in. I've never seen Keith so bad, I mean, now, because he had two strokes, but back then, he looked like he was gonna murder himself. He was so sad and fucked up, and they made you eat in the cafeteria. You didn't, your food that they gave you, you got a card, so you were eating with like

Asian blackjack dealers in the cafeteria. Vegas is just depressing. Vegas, it's not depressing anymore to me because they changed up the format. Maybe you have a better outlook on life. It's pretty depressing to me. Well they have the comedy clubs now that you can work Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

That's true, yeah, but being in a club the whole week or something, that's kind of depressing. It was a fucking nightmare. And they gave you like, you know, the river's a shit hotel at that time too. Sure. So you had to do these stupid shows and they wanted you done, fuck you.

They wanted a 70 minute show. If you went over at all, you'd get fucking yelled at because they want them back. 70 minute show. Yeah, they want them back on the fucking floor gambling. Gotcha, yeah. This is just bullshit. Right, they don't care what you do there.

Nothing, Nothing. The guy was headlining my week. He would get a chair and sit at the bottom of the escalators and look up women's dresses in between shows. That's not a bad hustle. No, it was pretty good. I did respect it. It is not a me too.

It's like a... No, it's a... I'm just sitting down. It's a me. Yeah. It's a me. Yeah, but Vegas used to be more depressing than it is. But I hear you. Vegas is like three days, four days. If you just do it, it's like a... No, it's a... I'm just sitting down. It's a me. Yeah. It's a me. Yeah, but Vegas used to be more depressing than it is.

But I hear you, Vegas is like three days, four days. If you just stay there for too long, you just like blend into the rug. Where did you play in Vegas? I did that thing with Elaine. I did in the Comedy Cellar, and I've done Skang Fest a couple times. It's just Vegas in general is just depressing.

It is depressing because it's this fucking hot and everything looks closer than it is and it's not. There's also smoke everywhere. So you're like, you smell the whole time. Yeah. Casino smells, going to your hotel you smell. Yeah, that's kind of getting, that's ending though. Like is it?

Yeah, nobody really smokes inside anymore that much. I don't know, at Skang Fest it was just smoke. I mean, Skang Fest this year was fine. I didn't even, at Skank Fest it was just smoke. I mean Skank Fest this year was fine. I didn't even see you. I saw you, we spoke. Where? We had a pretty deep conversation. I told you about my rapes.

Oh you did? Yeah. I think that's why I think I- You tuned it out. I tuned it out because of my rapes. Oh okay. Yeah. They cancel each other out.

Rape cancels rape, yeah it does. What'd you do at Skank Fest? Just stand-up? Like what shows? Yeah, I just did shows. Did stand-ups. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was actually good this year.

I had a fucking blast. It was fun, it was very hot though. Fucking hot as fuck, but I- The fans are great. Like you can't deny that the fans are just great. No, because they know comedy. They do. They get it, they understand what comedy is.

And you always get shit because of your standup. Sure. There's nobody out there like you doing it, you know? I don't know, my hope is that the special helps bring those people out that enjoy my standup. I mean, doing this tour before I take the special was like brutal, because it's like people are coming out and just taking a chance on a woman.

And I'm not like the right person to take a chance on. No, you have to know what you're getting into. So it's like half the people like you and half them are just like, this is disgusting. Like I can't believe this is what we're doing. Have you had any fucking incidents at shows? Of course, all the time. All the time?

Well, I mean, on the road a lot, especially when it's people that don't know you. Right. I feel like I'm telling the same story on every podcast. That's podcasting. I mean, I was in Texas and I did like a joke about the military and I walked like 20 cowboys. I mean, they stayed through almost my whole set

and then they just like gave up. They were like, we're out. What was the joke? About how like this country doesn't care about people in the military. Like they don't do anything for them. They were just like mad that I said that. I was like, but it's actually true. Right.

Because I've dated guys in the military more than one time. Really? They're like a nightmare. They're a nightmare? Yeah. I mean, you think you're going to go to war and come back and be like, okay. Yeah. I mean, we set them up for that.

Sure, but then when they come back, there's no real plan. We just really, most of them are on the street begging for money. Well, if you're from Mexico, you have a plan. What's your plan? You get a hotel, you get a cell phone. No, I'm kidding. But I don't think that happens if you go to war.

I think you go to war and then you come back and you're homeless. But if you go to Mexico and come here, then you get a hotel. That's what they gotta do, add that extra snack. They gotta come through Mexico. They gotta come back, go to Mexico, and then go from there. They have to go to Mexico,

come through the border illegally, and they'll get a phone and an apartment or a hotel room. Maybe that's what we need to do. Yeah, people gotta go to the Middle East and let them know that. People are mad at this. Anytime I joke about stuff like that, they call me right wing.

Sure. And you can't either. It's so fucked up right now too. Cause if you joke about either side, you're the other side. Yeah. I mean, like I posted something for someone else and now everyone thinks I'm this side or that side.

It's like, I'm not even voting. I don't even care. What'd you post? Tony Hinchcliffe? I posted Ari's thing for Tony. What was Ari's thing for Tony? I don't know. He was just saying like, he's funny or whatever. And I just posted it. And it for Tony? I don't know, he was just saying like he's funny

or whatever and I just posted it. And it's like, I don't know, I'm not even voting. I don't care. I think Tony, John Stewart said it the best. He said, I'm sorry, I find it funny. I mean, I did too. Listen, this is the thing. I've gotten booked on shows where like,

I've been like, hey, am I right for this? Because like, I feel like I'm not. I've done booked on shows where like, I've been like, hey, am I right for this? Because like, I feel like I'm not. Right. I've done two charity shows. I've gotten taken off stage both times at these shows. There's an article that Boston Herald is. Talking about the microphone, stupid. Boston Herald, yes.

What happened? So I got, I mean, I did a show, I drove during Hurricane Sandy to Boston to do a show for people who were donating money to domestic violence shelter. And it's just like all these rich white women. And I speak to these people before and I'm like, hey, do you think I'm right for this?

I feel like I might not be right for this. I tell them my jokes, I'm gonna do, they're like, we love you, we love that you're a real person. And I go there, I get taken off stage. How do you get taken off stage? People just come up and they're like, I got lit like twice, like the time up and they're like, I got lit like twice like the time out. I'm like, I don't even know. I was also sick. I drove there during a

hurricane. They're like, you sandbagged us. I'm like, what? I drove here during a hurricane. Why would they say you stay new? What you were doing? Because nobody takes responsibility after the fact. No one's like, Hey, we vetted her and we did. We messed up. Like the person went up after me and was like, Hey, we don't approve of any of that stuff. The comic? No, no, no. So they bring me up and it's like a lady talking about women getting beat. It's not like I have a great introduction

and then I go on stage to that. I remember I had a woman's battered shelter behind my apartment in New York and we got all this food for Thanksgiving and they gave us an extra turkey. So Dawn was like, why don't you go give it to the battered woman shelter? And Norton was carrying the turkey with me,

and we go there, he goes, when they open the door, I'm gonna go, hey, have this done in a couple hours, I'm gonna fucking punch you in the face. I was like, what the fuck? Hilarious. Yeah, it's a fucking joke. I know, but that's the thing, you're bringing comics into places that aren't necessarily for comedy,

and then you're getting mad at us. They have to stop inviting us to shit. They have to stop trying to get this world. They see some people they like. They're like, this is funny. We should do this. You shouldn't. No, stop. Stop inviting us.

Yeah, we will ruin it all because we have to, because we don't care about your cause. We only care about the- We're just doing it for money. We're doing it for money and to be funny. Right, and listen, some people are gonna like it and some are not. I got taken off a show last year.

It's just like, and I keep, but Eddie Brill booked me for it when he see me open for Louie, and I was like, hey, do you think I'm right for this? What was it for? It was like another thing, it you think I'm right for this? What was it for? It was like another thing, it was like something, rich people helping poor kids or something.

I did a pedophile joke and then they got mad because the guy in the audience, his wife was there, he worked for like CNN, he was a pedophile. It's just like, how am I supposed to freaking know that? Well maybe you need to start vetting your audience. I know, it's like hey did anyone here molest a child? And now you're trying to raise money for them? What a crazy thing.

You raise his hand and he goes, all right you're not gonna like this, you gotta go. You gotta earmuffs. Earmuffs. Well it's funny, because Patricia's doing that all the time too. He would go up and just fuck with people he knew wasn't gonna like them facially

and make them leave, and then as soon as they left you, all right, we can start. That's a good strategy. It is a good strategy, because you know the people that, get it out of the way up front, get them the fuck out,

and then you know the people that are there, are there to see you, and know what you're about to do. Yeah, I feel like Patrice could do that, I feel like I can't do that. Why is that? I mean, it's not like I have a big following, so I'm going to a place where I'm making

the least amount of money as it is, and now I'm kicking their people out that came for free. I think it's gonna change. I think- We'll see. Well, look, when I heard that you were gonna do a special, I was like, fuck yeah. You did the thing. When I was, I know where I was.

I was in Naples, Florida. Louie's garden thing was happening, which I was like, this is insane. I can't believe, I'm so happy that he's back and he's doing the garden again. Because I think the year before, year and a half before that, we went to a boxing match at the garden.

And I saw him just looking around, I'm like, what are you doing? He's like, I played here like five times. It's just weird to be back. He goes like, I don't know if I'll ever play here again, but it was like, I sold this place out myself five times. And he was just like, so to see him a year and a half or whatever it was later.

Right, be there again. He was there again, sold it out. And I remember I had it on my phone and then you came out. Who opened? Who? So John Fish went up, well, Ravi Coltrane went up and then John Fish. John Fish did great.

He did. He did great. And he also went up right after Ravi, which is like a hard spot. So, and then, but when you came out, dude, I was like, holy fuck. I was like, you did it. You came out and your set was so fucking perfect.

I was like, she just went to this other level. And I saw that with, I've seen that a couple of times with comics. I saw it with Burr, I saw it with Patrice, where I was like, she just went to this other level. And I saw that with, I've seen that a couple times with comics, I saw it with Burr, I saw it with Patrice, where I was like, she just went out and everybody forgot, and that's hard to do, forget who they came to see. They were all watching you, and you didn't fucking flinch, you murdered.

I was watching it, saying it out loud, I was with Mike Coulter, I'm like, dude, this is fucking game changer right now. And then when you, I mean, you murdered. I mean, that's also New York City. I'm such a New Yorker. It's 15,000 people. 18.

18,000, sorry, fucking, fuck, I hope your career fails. It's already, it'll just flatline. Well, 18. It'll have to do well for us to do bad, fucking broad. Fuck, hope your career fails. It's already, it'll just flatline. Well, 18. We'd have to do well first to do bad, I think. 18,000 people, and then they're there to see Louie. That they're there to see. But Louie's audience is also like my people, like that just is.

It is your people, but still, it doesn't matter. It's that, that, that, that big arena thing, it's hard. Believe me, I did that shit with Dane. I've done it with Louie, and it's hard. Believe me, I did that shit with Dane. I've done it with Louie. And it's hard. It is hard. I mean, I was freaking out, because I was like, I'm used to standing in a spot,

and I asked Louie, I was like, what do I do? He's like, just look at the red, because they have those red dots, I guess, because they were streaming it. He's like, look at that, tell a joke, finish that joke, go on to the next one. And I just circled around, because I was like, I don't know how to do this.

I'm not going to move around on stage now. Yeah, that was my biggest concern The hardest part with me was walking to the stage because it's such a long walk It was I was just freaked out about being on stage and having to rotate like a turkey right yeah But it's you couldn't tell a fuck. I remember telling Michael. I was like dude. She is one of the funniest people man that set You know that that had an effect on your career. Maybe, I mean, I feel like comics watched it, but I feel like no one else cared. I don't think so, man. That place, you had them in the palm of your hands

in front of Louis was- I mean, it was like, it was definitely the coolest part, like the highest point of my career, I would say. Even over doing a special, I mean, doing a special is great too, but that was like a pivotal point for me, I feel like. Fuck yeah, man. I remember, I think I called up, I think it was Leah.

And I was like, you guys, you have to do her special. Yeah. Like Louis. I think Chris, was it somebody else who was supposed to do it? Chris Rock was gonna do it at one point. I was like, no. I was like, Chris it somebody else who was supposed to do it? Chris Rock was gonna do it at one point. I was like, no. I was like, Chris Rock cannot direct her special. It cannot be him. I mean, no, I've known Louie for so long

till he was the right person. It had to be Louie. It had to be fucking Louie. Louie just exposed you to his fan base. Also, what I think happened with Louie too is Louie saw me at Liberty Live. Yeah. Maybe the worst show me at Liberty Live. Yeah. Maybe the worst show of the whole tour.

Yeah, but he knows funny. But it doesn't matter. I was like tap dancing for these people. Yeah. It's all like, you know, free tickets. It's all older, conservative crowd, which is like not usually my thing. I don't think especially if they're much older and like they just hated me and I get off stage and I was like, he's going to be like like this is not ready. I'm not doing it. I get off stage. I start bawling crying for like a half hour

Did he give you the pep talk? Did he give you the the? Martin Luther King Tom Brady pep pep talk No, but he just like talked to me and he's like this is a really hard hour and like going on the road It's like I'm battling every audience. It's like not easy. And that's what I felt like. And he was like, well, that's why I mean, are you doing this? We wanna help you.

But like, I think if I didn't have that talk, I don't know, it was just, it was such a hard tour. Just like, and it's right and left people that are upset. People are walking out and you crane, it doesn't matter, people are just upset and they're just, that's the thing they do. They walk out, they wanna be heard. But like, no, he upset and they're just, that's the thing they do. They walk out, they wanna be heard. Yep.

But like, no, he was like, you know, I was struggling too before I like blew up and I guess I forget that. Cause I'm just like, everyone's had it so easy or. Yeah, I remember Lou used to come to the cellar and he was all right. But then I remember we did the Nasty Show back when it was a little smaller. And the Nasty Show was the week before the festival.

It was its own thing. It was like a special show for everybody. I think it was me, him, Attell, DePaulo, and Jim Jefferies. That's a crazy lineup. It was a fucked up lineup. It was a crazy show. And Louie was closing. And I think Nick DePaulo was hosting. And it was just fucking crazy to be on it. And then I remember he did his own hour

one night at Club Soda, and we all just clamored to watch it. And I remember everybody, like all the Just For Laughs, he fucking was at some other thing. He just hit another level. And I was like, dude, he is, it's like I saw it with him. I remember watching it like, dude, I just enjoyed a standup. And I felt the same way when I saw your,

when you did it open film, I enjoyed your set as a fan. Like when a comic makes me into a fan, where I'm like, that's fucking fun. When I'm laughing. Yeah, that's fun. And I, you- And that's such a compliment'm like, that's fucking fun. When I'm laughing. Yeah, that's fun. And I, you, you. And that's such a compliment. Yeah, you fucking killed it.

So I was like, when I look at Chris Rock, I mean, God bless Chris Rock, but he doesn't get you. No, he doesn't. I mean, I think he likes me as a comic and he respects me. But yeah, I mean, me and Louis also know each other for so long. Well, not so long, but you know, a pretty good amount of years.

Yeah, and he says outrageous shit, and it makes it funny. Yeah. Yeah, his fan base is ridiculous. His fan base, I think, is like whatever my fan base would be, hopefully. Yeah. You know, just those, I don't even know what they are. Now, how did it get on Netflix? I mean, look, when I did mine with Louis,

it was like, look, we're putting it on a site, because nobody's gonna buy it, nobody wanted it, you know what I mean? And it's like, fuck it, that's why he did it. It's like, you should have a special. Same thing with you, it's like, you should have a special. I don't know, I mean, they pitched it to Netflix and Joanne, I guess, liked me. I didn't even know she liked me.

And then when my manager, Marlene, called me, she was like, so they're not doing original, something, and then she was like, but they want to release it. I was like, really? She was like, yeah. I was like like because I guess what they were like there's really no women doing these types of jokes. No. I mean I'm sure like let's see what happens. Yeah but how long how long leasing it for a year or two? Two years. It's great. I'll get it back. It's great you're gonna

own it. I did the same thing with my special with uh Live from the Village Underground. Nobody wanted it Comedy Central bought it for a year. And then they leased it for a year. And then you get it back. I get it back and I own it. I own Village Underground. Also, Ari laid out all the money. So I was like, I'm going to owe Ari a ton of money.

No, you're not. I know, but before they were buying it, I was going to owe Ari a ton of money. You don't think I was panicking? I mean, I was. Every time they sent, I was like, what are we... There were so many cameras. I was like, oh my God, this is gonna be so much money if no one buys it.

I just assumed it was gonna go on YouTube. Louis came to me two weeks before we were shooting the special and he goes, he's talking to Joe List. I was like, oh boy. He's like, we could do this for like 11,000 here at the Village Underground. And you know, we can have his guy do it and I can oversee it.

I was like, no, no, have his guy do it and I can oversee it. I was like, no, no, I don't want it. Cause it costs, I think it costs like 60,000. To do yours. To do mine. And then you had a crazy thing where some lady passed out, right? She fucking, yeah, because we fucked up.

We did it in Florida in like, what was it, June or some shit in the summer. I should have did it in January. There was very little AC, and they didn't let anybody have any liquids. I don't know why. At the show? Yeah, nobody could bring water into the fucking show

because they should have let people have drinks. Right, so they're just dehydrated and hot. This lady got dehydrated and fucking started season out. Jesus. And it fucked me up. I mean, fuck. I mean, yeah, that would throw me off. 20 minutes in, fuck me up.

And that's what I went, I just went on autopilot for the rest of the show. I went back, I had a fucking headache in my eye socket because I was so stressed out. And that's when Louie gave me my Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, and then he ended with Tom Brady speech. So he did the Tom Brady, he sent me that that clip but then like so the we did four shows and are you really wanting to do four shows? Cuz he's like look what happened with Bobby this lady passed out. You could have one show that sucks like that

Louie was like let's do Shows where nobody knows your headlining. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, so we did one show like that out of four No, no, no, no. Okay, no. So we did one show like that out of four. No, no, no, no. Okay, so the first night, the first show was okay. Somebody that I knew sat in the front, heckled me. I mean, I was also, the first show I was nervous. They knew you and heckled you? So drunk and heckled me, yeah, and then they got kicked out. Fucking idiot.

And that was a good show, it wasn't great though. The second show was the show nobody knew I was headlining. I mean, I tap danced the whole time. It was terrible. Terrible. I went home and I was like, I wasted 20 years doing standup. I was like, I mean, like I was on the phone

with my friend the next day, I was like, what Liz, Liz Miele? And I was like, I can't believe I have to quit. Like I've wasted 20 years doing this. And then the shows that night were amazing. But it's like, yeah, it just makes a big difference. Yeah, I would never do two shows again, ever. Four shows.

Four fucking shows. Especially as an unknown person, there was such like, you just don't know what's gonna happen. Because if you get it on the, everybody says, you always get it on the first one, the second one's just, fuck you it is. The second one was my worst show where I was like, I mean, Ari looked like he was gonna cry,

like everyone was so dejected, we were like. Why did he, why did Louie tell you to do that? Because Ari, I mean, Ari looked like he was gonna cry. Like everyone was so dejected. We were like. Why did he, why did Louie tell you to do that? Because Ari, I mean, Louie, I listen, I've heard this before where people are like, we like to see the audience, half of them are really into it and half of them are like so upset. But this night it was like a sixth were into it

and the rest were just like, I mean, it was also a very tourist heavy. Where was it? It was downstairs. You did it here at a very tourist heavy. Where was it? It was downstairs. You did it here at the Comedy Cellar. Yeah. Yeah, and this is a tourist heavy place. But it wasn't just like tourist, like American tourist.

It was like the world. The world, and that's a big difference. Yeah, because they don't fucking, they're coming there to see. Famous people. Chris Rock or Jerry come in and it's a destination. Yes. And then they're coming in and. They don't even know I'm doing a headlining it's a destination. Yes. And then they're coming in and they don't even know

I'm doing a headlining set or a taping special. They're like, when is this girl getting off? Yeah. This is the longest 15 minutes. That is a fucking bad move. I said we could do one show. He wanted to do all them like that. I was like, no, I was like, I need fans here.

You need fucking fans to support you. Yeah. That know who you are and get your shit. Right. So we did one like that and it was. What did he say to you, that know who you are and get your shit. Right, so we did one like that and it was. What did he say to you after that? I mean, he texted with me the whole way home, like just being, me and him will do this

and where it's like so ridiculous, the stuff you're saying, cause like I think he knew he had to bring me out of whatever funk I was in. He's good at that. He's great at that, like you know, everyone's dying, like you know, that's how we be talking, cheer each other up. Yeah. But yeah, like then the next., you know, that's how we be talking, cheer each other up. Yeah.

But yeah, like then the next- Can you move the bomb down off the microphone? Yeah, sure. But yeah, you show me like that, even that night before that show, you show me like people boxing and like, hey, I just need you to be like silly. I just can't with that. Did you say, was it the Muhammad Ali one?

Probably it was, I was like, I don't need to see black men fighting. Like it's just. If you want to see that, you just go to Washington Square. I go to the Bronx, go my way home. I go to any McDonald's in Manhattan. I was like, can you just be silly and funny? That's like better.

Yeah, he gave me the Tom Brady speech did it for me. I like that clip. It was a good one. It's a good clip. I don't have it on my phone. I was like, man, that is moving. It fucking, it's not Martin Luther King, nothing. Kennedy, whatever the fuck that was. I was like, man, that is moving. It fucking, it snapped. Martin Luther King, nothing. Kennedy, whatever the fuck that was, I was like, nope.

And then he did the Tom Brady, and I was like, let's do this. I, it got me. Well, yeah, and you had that one show that, that would make me so freaked out to have only one show left. Not only did I have that show, as I'm going on stage, some lady went to the bathroom and was coming back

and ran in front of me in the intro and went, sorry. Oh my God. And went back to her seat and it fucking ruined my whole like energy of it, you know, cause they're like ladies and gentlemen give it. Right and you're like in your head and then you're like oh. I'm like okay sorry, fucking ugh, it fucking made me angry. I bet.

And yeah, I mean like I think the fun of special I had, but it's weird because you say that, because I had, the one I did at the Village Underground, somebody was in the front, you know, I have a rule when I do the Pussycat, me or Les. They have to be uglier than me or Les. Up front. You can't have hot people up front.

They did that to the first show, like, I can't have all these hot people right up front. They don't care. They care about them. Right. And if they know they're on camera, these two hot chicks at the Village Underground, they would just talk, every joke, they'd talk to each other.

And then you say something, no, we were telling how funny you were. Well, don't say it during my fucking special. Right, just shut up. Shut the fuck up. They don't shut up. No. Why the fucking hot women?

They're just not there for comedy. No, they're there to fucking be, it's a night out and they don't give a shit. They don't care. Was it a girl who heckled you or a guy? It was a guy I knew. I mean, he's an alcoholic though. Okay.

An old alcoholic. Oh, there you go. You sat him up front. That was a stupid. I didn't tell her. I said, don't sit anyone I know up front. It's the worst. I don't want to look at somebody I fucking.

No, it's uncomfortable to make eye contact with them as you're telling an awful joke. Because the whole time you're up there, you're like I know that guy, I know that guy. Right. And whatever thing they do, you're like, oh he didn't like that, or they didn't like that, or they like that, or they're not enjoying me

as much as everybody else. They know what's coming, it's all in your head. Yeah, I don't know, I said, everyone I said, I was like if you're coming, tell them you can't sit up front. I don't wanna see your face. It's the worst. I fucking hate that. So you did the four shows,

and what was the show that was like, that was it? The third show. The first show on Monday night. The third show. And you were like, I'm done. I got it. Yeah, I came off stage and I was like, oh, we got it. And then the fourth show was like,

less people, but even better. And I was like, that's crazy. They were just like there for fourth show was like, less people but even better. And I was like, that's crazy. They were just like there for me. I don't know who they even were. Some of them I knew, I guess, and some I didn't. Now, did you use the third show? We used the third show, and I think maybe some of the fourth show.

Right, but the first two fucking done. I don't know if we used anything. It would be funny, somebody was like, you should put two of them together and show one crowd's enjoying one show and one crowd is not. You should 100% just do that second show that nobody knew who you were

and fucking have that as an extra. Oh my God, it's so depressing. I can't even watch it. Taking a hot one. Martin Luther King of Dice when he did the day the laughter died. Up at the danger fields. Yeah, but he knew what he was doing with that.

You know who else bombed on their special? Mitch Hedberg. Yeah, they said that he was there for like, what, an hour or so, trying to get his jokes. Yeah, and they just sweetened it. At the end, they sweetened it. By the end of it, he's sitting on the stairs. Lying on the stairs, bombing, and then they added laughs,

and it looked like he was killing. Yeah. And then they were like, wow, this guy's the best guy in the fucking world. It's so crazy. Isn't it weird? It's very weird.

Comedy Central used to sweeten shit all the time. Everybody did good. Comedy Central even do comedy specials anymore? No, they're gone. They just have TV shows, the Daily Show. The Daily Show and that's it. Yeah, which I love. I love that Jon Stewart's back because I think Jon.

He's great. He's fucking great, man. I think he's great. I know he's a left dude who gives a fuck. People who do, shut up, he's funny. He makes fun of. He's very funny. He gets stand up. He gets comedy.

If it's funny, say it. And he'll trash the left, he'll trash the right. You know? That's kind of what should be. Yeah, but for a long time it wasn't. I know. I like that he did like, he went up against everyone for like 9-11, the victims and stuff to extend that.

I mean, like, that's even crazy that you have to be doing that. It's fucking nuts that he had to go to like some crazy court thing and use all his fame power to get people that were dying from going back into the buildings to save people. It's crazy. It's nuts. We're, I mean, we're fucked. Next week, me and Ari are going to Cuba. I heard and they said that.

Well, we went already. We went already. In this, cause this is coming out later. Oh, that's right. How was it? It was great. I'm glad you guys didn't die. Well, you don't know that yet.

He's such a maniac, dude. I love him. Ari? Ari's crazy. I love him to death, but he's like. He too, he's nuts. We're not staying anywhere touristy. Okay He he wants to just go in the fucking jungles of Cuba, right? That's where you're gonna be I'm fighting it like I'll just just take it. I can't I have a fucking kid your kids old enough

Yeah, but he is How old your kid 12 11 he's fine Yeah, but my wife, I didn't... Your wife's fine too. She's had enough of you. Yeah, she'll fucking fuck a plumber in five seconds. Plumbers are good. They make a lot of money.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fucking nervous. You're not gonna really go stay in someone's hut. Yeah, we are. You think so? I know we are. I booked it. What is it?

It's a casa. It's called, it's somebody's house. American tourists can't stay in the hotels. Okay. Government owned hotels. Okay. Because we're American. We have to stay in these, you know, casa fucking something, whatever you call it.

Do you think you're going to have to stay there? We are. No, I mean like forever. No, no, no, no, no. I won't, but I'm sure Ari will pull his dick out and say something against Cuba. Oh, that's true. You gotta watch out for that. Well, I already got a game plan. What is it?

I'm gonna just pretend I speak no English. What kind of ethnicity are you gonna be that doesn't speak English? I'm just gonna be Mexican, because... You look a little Mexican. I'm gonna go, see, loco. Yeah. Loco Americano.

And I'm just gonna pretend, I don't know, I see, he crazy. That's pretty good. He Jewish, people crazy. He doesn't look Mexican at all. No, he looks like the original Jewish person. Yeah. Yeah, he's a poster child For I think he's fine. He's in third world countries all the time. He is but he does crazy shit I mean, yeah, he's probably gonna take a shit. I mean look I I I'm I like doing crazy stuff too because I I don't mind it, but I just don't I like doing crazy stuff too, because I don't mind it, but I just don't.

I like doing crazy stuff when I know I can't like be stuck in a country I'm not from. That's the thing that's fucking me up, is you go to other countries and just. But you could swim here. I couldn't. Just do a lot, just float, float most of the way. We wind up having to hook up with like a family on a tub.

Yeah, just find a family and get in their boat. Get in their tub. Their tub with five gallon buckets of empty water bottles. Sure, whatever you gotta do. I don't know, the electricity's gone, the fucking electric grid is fucking trashed. I mean, why this country of all the countries? Because I wanna go because of the cigars.

And I love Cuba, like the country. I've always loved it I've always wanted to go and go there. I know but I was like, let's stay at this place. No, it's too fancy It's like alright. Yeah, he wants to like stay in a place where you have to like grow your own food Yeah, he wants to stay in a place where you'll definitely get bit by a spider while you sleep a spider Yeah I think it's actually safe country because they're so fuck you and They're so yeah, they'll just kill you. They'll take you away What are you good? They said that they're the guy?

Steve said that like their economy is collapsing. I Mean that was the latest I think we're going to. When you had to check your thing, it was to. Help the Cuban people. That's where we're going. Oh, what are you going to do for them? Give them two dollar tips. That's probably like five thousand dollars. It's a lot. OK. It's a lot. That's helping them. Yeah.

I mean, we're going to have a blast. It's going to be a blast. That's why I love Ari. He's he does stupid, crazy shit, you know. All's why I love Ari. He does stupid, crazy shit. All right, let's go. He has no problem with it. And I have a big fear about that stuff. I mean, we went out into the woods a couple times,

just overnight. Oh yeah, during the pandemic, right? Didn't you guys go to the woods? Yeah, we went in the woods. Me, him, and Joe. Yeah, we spent the night. A couple of times. No thanks, I can't.

Nah, you're not a woods. No, you're we spent the night. A couple of times. No thanks, I can't. Nah, you're not a Woods. No, you're Italian. Like full, like your family. I'm also Hungarian too. But is your family Italian? They make meatballs and sauce on Sundays and shit like that? Not really anymore, everyone's dead in my family,

but like yeah, we grew up like that. Why is everybody dead? Who's dead? My dad. Dad died? All my grandparents, my people I don't talk to. Is your mom alive? My mom's alive. Are you still friendly with her?

Yeah. Yeah, does she like your comedy? She does, my mom does comedy, you know that right? What? You knew that. Is your mom Elaine Boozler? My mom's Elaine Boozler. Fuck my mom.

I would fuck your mom if it was Elaine Boozler. I'd still throw in an Elaine just for shit. Why not? I think she went through a divorce. Your mom does does what she does stand up? She has a lot of black rooms What the fuck are you talking about? I know you're lying. I'm not Does she have like a one like a one name is that like? Like cyclone, what's what's your mom's name? It's just a regular name Debbie Debbie Baza Debbie Baza You're fucking lying to me. I'm not how long is your mom done stand-up?

She's done her on and off. She she took me like my first open mic Which did she do stand up before you she did but like she was like I never knew you could do it as like a career Really? And then when she seen me get like Montreal and ask how my sandwich was like, oh, I'm gonna start doing it again. That'd be funny if your mom got Montreal like shit before you. No, she didn't. I wish she actually did well and helped me.

Is she funny? She is funny. She's pretty dirty though. Really? Is there clips of her? I'm sure you can find clips. What's her name? Come on, what are we doing?

I'm going to watch your mom do stand up is what I'm going to do. Uh, not yet. Okay, maybe later. That's fucking you some stuff. You know how fucking crazy that is your mom. I've never I mean who Whose parent does comedy is this her? She does black rooms. Yeah, where is she? She's like, I don't know. That's not her. Is that her? Yeah, that's her djing. That's howing. Oh, my God. I can't stop. Fuck you. Fuck you. I can't. First of all, your mom is young as shit. My mom's pretty hot.

Your mom is hot. Do you want to bring my mom, Anna-Laine? At the same time? Yeah, I do that. How funny would that be if I started banging your mom? I mean, if I showed up, she'd be like, can you help? Can I open for you? I let her open. Go ahead. Where is this?

Is this a black room? Yeah, this is like in a diner on top of a table. This is fucking hilarious, man. I think I've met your mom. You probably have. This is like watching myself though. This is terrifying for me. This is fucking insanely amazing.

Why that last name? Is that a stage name? No, she got remarried. My stepfather, and then they got divorced and he died. But yeah, I told her she can't go back to Appaloochee. I was like, absolutely not. Why? Because I-

Because of the black rooms? No, because that's my name, so you can't go back. So she, Debbie Appaloochee, that would fuck you up. I don't want that. No, you can't have it. You have to have Debbie Bozzi. Debbie Bozzi, yeah. Let me just hear one. Let me hear one.

Earmuffs. Go ahead. I just keep lining them up. Lining one up. Husbands. Keep lining. See, look. This is a fucking black.

Your mom's in a black room. My mom is in a black room. That's good. I have my second husband lined up. I was waiting for the divorce from the room. That's good. I have my second husband lined up. I was waiting for the divorce from the first. That's right. My poor second husband was dying. I was dating a little bit.

You gotta get out. It's not easy taking care of someone dying. Don't judge me. My mom is funny. Everything's about them. Not to that lady. Not to that lady. She was fucking her husband.

That's fucking Craig. What are you doing? I'm just going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm Not to that lady. That's that lady fucking her husband That's fucking Craig, what are you doing play it you fuck I want to hear the rest of the joke Don't go halfway through the bit. Your mom is funny. She is funny My mom like once I'm her in a store and you know, like I don't know So you're getting like a size medium shirt or something for her She's like go get me all the mediums. Sometimes when the kids are sewing,

they're tired and they sew a little bit slower. So like that's, I mean, that's kind of how I, how my comedy came from like being like that. And then also everyone that I went to grammar school with, we had a friend that killed himself. And like, we all met up again, like 10 years ago, and everyone's sense of humor is so dark. I'm like, oh, that's where it happened.

In school. Where'd you grow up? In the Bronx. In the Bronx. And was it Italian neighborhood? Italian black? No, it was Italian and Irish. Italian Irish.

I grew up with Italian Irish too. It's funny, it is a, like they say Boston comics like are funny. It's because of the neighborhoods we grew up in. I could see that. No, there was no political correctness. No. Segregated, everybody, even the white people had no money.

We're all fucking. There was like one black kid in my school and I had a crush on him. I remember telling my mom and she tried to explain racism to me using the birds and the bees. I remember this as a child. What did she say? The birds play with the birds and the bees play with the bees.

I was like, I don't know what has to do with me and Trevor. Like, I'm like six. Who are the birds and who are the bees? I don't know, the whites are one and the blacks are the other. I have no idea. But it's like, that makes no sense to me. I'm pretty sure the bees are the blackster.

Maybe. The bees. They actually work hard, the bees. Harder than the birds. They keep the country going. The bees. The birds are just shitting on cars? The birds don't do much.

Fuck me. All right, let me hear this. I hate you for telling me this. I hate you for telling me this. I needed to get out, too. I'm actually in the middle of a divorce now. Yeah, I didn't really want to. I just figured I'd scare him into changing.

Bad idea. Bad idea. We started getting a little better. You know? So I said, maybe we could reconcile. Oh, no. He says, he does, you know, he's humming, I will survive. He's pack.

It's like, whoa. That's our song, I will survive. He's going to the next whoa, that's our song I will survive. He's going to the next room, he's not going far. Oh yeah, they were divorced living in the same house. What? They were divorced living in the same house. What the fuck is that? That sounds like Rich Voss and Bonnie. Yeah, I mean, they did that for a while.

Because my mom is not like a worker. What does that mean? It means she's never had like a full-time job. She just keeps getting married. That's like her job. That's her employment. Is she remarried now? No, but this husband died and she got enough money

from his social security. So I said, this is like, it was 10 years, but it was like you worked 10 years for a pension. So she worked for his pension. Right. How'd he die? Knife to the neck? No, he had cancer.

Oh, shit, sorry. You don't give a fuck. He didn't leave me anything. I don't really care. Did you like him? He was OK. My sister, he loved. So there's like a big controversy.

My sister actually ended up. So my mom and him lived together because the house was under both of their name. So they were waiting for somebody to buy it so my mom can get money and leave. And then my mom, that he eventually was buying the house from my mother, but he was dying of cancer. My sister didn't let my mom know that I guess that he was really sick. So they did that a month before he died.

And then my mother, she waited a month, would have had the whole house. My sister ends up going and buying the house with my stepfather. Fuck you. Not telling my mother, and then gets the house and kicks my mother out. It's like chaos. That's fucking wild.

My sister's gonna be very mad at me because she does not know I did jokes about her on the special. You did jokes about that? Not about that, but just about her. She's not gonna be thrilled. It's funny that you say that, because I had a great joke about my sister

who had a kidney transplant, and my mother was like, you can't do that joke. You just can't. And I had this whole thing about her, the next door neighbor, Neil, gave her a kidney, but nobody liked Neil. That's hilarious. Except for my mom.

Because he gave her the kidney? Yeah well she likes him but my sister was like I'm not taking Neil's kidney. Why not? Because she was like I don't want Neil. In me? Yeah and then he wound up giving her the kidney and they wound up becoming friends and I wound up being the only one not really liking Neil. Not that I hated him he's a nice guy but I just never.

Why can't you do this joke? And then because it was real, like that's real. And then Neil tried to hit on her at the movies and she came back, he tried to, and I was like, the joke was like, that's fucked. He's already in you. I was like, this fucking, that's a good tag I should've added. I said, I go, fucking Neil, that's my sister.

But on the other hand, as a man, and that's a fucking great long game. I mean, you know what I mean? Like, holy shit. I mean, I've done shit for pussy. I never gave an organ for an organ. I mean, that's nuts. I feel like that's not a bad joke that you.

I thought it was a great joke, but my mother was like, you can't do that. He gave your sister life. And my sister was like, no. You know, everybody was like. Did you have to pay him for it? Pay him for the kidney? And the hand jobs, yes.

That's it? No. How many hand jobs equal a kidney? 42. That's not that bad. No, it's not that bad. Especially if you do it twice a day. Yeah, it's so funny, she had to get another kidney

17 years later. Not from him. I'm like, who you blowing now? No, no, no, she's got a donor, thank God. Yeah, but families get fucking, they get mad at you revealing the shit for some reason. Me and my sister have never really been close, so it's not like-

Older or younger? She's younger. She's younger, so she did all this deceitful weird, but she was close with your dad. She was close, my sister gets in between my mom and her husband's. The new one. All of them.

So my dad that adopted me when I was like one, so he died from brain cancer. All right, where's your real dad? Somewhere upstate. So your real dad is alive. He has, he has like a lot of kids. But you don't know him. I met him and then his,

I wanted to not have him as like my dad, but I wanted to meet like his kids. He has a bunch of kids and his wife, Han wrote me like a page letter, why I need to stay away from her husband. What the fuck? She was like, stay away from my Joey. It reminds me of like Jamie, what's her name?

Mary Jo Badufuco, like stay away from my Joey. It was so crazy. And she was like, you know, he says that you're like attractive, why don't you get a boyfriend? I was like, what? It was so crazy. And she was like, you know, he says that you're like attractive, why don't you get a boyfriend? I was like, what? It was so bizarre. It's so fucked up, because I don't feel like, I don't know for a fact, but I feel like my real dad,

you know, he, they got divorced when I was a baby, but I've always liked my dad. He was the shit. We kind of got along. And then later in life, I tried to get back with him and we did. We wound up hanging out. It is weird though, right? Cause you're like, we were cool.

Like he's very, like we kind of look alike. You know, he was just a cool dude. Your sister and you have the same dad? My sister, my older sister and me have the same dad. My younger sister and my younger brother have my other dad, Larry, who I love too. He was kind of around from, I don't know, 13, and he's dead.

He died a few years ago, which was sudden as shit, just went, and that was the love of my mom's life. She's never really recovered, God bless her. But my real dad, my mom never liked, fucking hated him, and she tried to sabotage it all the time. I remember one time, I was like, she married this fucking abusive douchebag

for five years that used to beat me and my sister. And she had no kids with that guy. No, thank God, no kids with that guy. But I remember one time, I was like, I wanna go live with my dad. She's like, oh yeah, you wanna go live with your dad? Call him, go ahead, because she knew. And I called him, I'm like, dad, can I come live with you?

He was like, no. Because he had a whole new family. Yeah, he's like, ugh. Yeah, he had a daughter with this other lady. You're like, well, mom, it seems you're right. I could not go live with that. I mean, hanging up that call fucking killed him. He was like, what'd he say?

I'm like, you know what he said. Yeah, that hurts, though. I just went and cried, and my evil stepfather was just like, I told you, it sucked. I remember that like it happened yesterday. But later in life when I got sober, we wound up hooking up again. And he was like, what do you want, a birthday present?

And I get it. But it's like, what is the birthday present that makes up for it? Like I ended up meeting him. I mean, I met him in 2017. I hadn't seen him since I was a baby. And he was like, you look just like your mother. And he was like, your mom is like so beautiful.

I'm like, so you think I'm beautiful? You like me? You said that? No, that's why his wife was upset. I know he wants to fuck you. No, I didn't say that. But like he was like so scared of his wife. I remember the second time we met,

he was like, I hope she doesn't change a lot. Nobody knows I'm here. I'm like, whoa, this is weird. Yeah, well, I think that, you know, what I was getting to is that my father's wife, I think at one point, it was weird. My sister needed a kidney. My mother was like, ask your father.

Ask your real father if he can do it. I guess he came in and he found out he couldn't do it and blah, blah, blah, and he got mad. He was like, yes. Yeah, we were all like that. I came out of my blood, I was like, fucking yeah. You can do it? I was like, no.

Nope, sorry, I really want to. Fucking Neil was like, I'll do it. Who is Neil? I know he's your next door neighbor. We're like, did he always like your sister? Well, I really want to. Fucking Neil was like, I'll do it. Who is Neil? I know he's your next door neighbor. We're like, did he always like your sister? Well, I don't know, apparently, but whatever. Neil's the fucking star of the family, you know, for that time, but he actually, my mom,

I never saw the letter, but she said, she called me up, your father wrote your sister a letter saying, you only call me when you need something, a blah, blah, blah, almost like a fuck you letter to my sister who needed, and she got me to fuck, well, I was like, I got defensive, like my sister's dying. I was like, fuck that, and I never talked to him again.

And I wish I did a little more research because I know my mom didn't, she was, Larry's your father, which was her husband at the time, which I get, he was there for me, blah, blah, blah, but it was kind of like, look, that's my biological father. Sure. I mean, my son doesn't have a grandfather now. You know what I mean?

They're all dead. What about Neil? I know, I know, I know. Do you hate Neil? I don't hate Neil. Neil's a lovely man. I just don't get along with Neil. You know what I mean? It's just the people, there's certain people that you just.

I get it. You know what I mean? It's like, whatever dude. You know, I just never get along with him. My mom, you know, whatever with Neil, but. Is he attractive? No, not at all. I'm kind of fascinated by Boston though.

What do you mean? Just like, I would like, I guess, I don't know. I've never, like, I just see stuff on TV, like, and I wonder is that what your childhood was like? Yeah. Yeah. Like what? Like fucking crime and... No, just like the... Abuse and fucking... What's the movie with Robin Williams and Matt Damon?

Oh, you mean fucking... How do you like those apples? How do you like those apples? How do you like those apples? Was that your childhood? What'd you say? Good Will Hunting. No, those are fucking, I mean, those guys, like the way they were, I grew up with those guys. That seems kind of fun.

You, let me tell you something right now. If you went to Boston and just lived there, you would be a superstar. Why? Because they would fucking love you. Not now. Not now. But when I grew up.

Sure. You would be the fucking biggest comic in the world. Sure. Because when we came up, there was no, people went to clubs and nobody got offended. Boston, that was the one thing why comics, I believe, got good there. Because you could do whatever you wanted.

You could say whatever the fuck you wanted as long as it was funny, nobody got offended. Was that like in New York too though? New York was a little more hippie-ish. Okay. You know, you would do certain clubs and it was a little hippie-ish, a little, you always had that element that was in the crowd maybe.

But Boston was just, I mean, whatever the fuck you wanted to say, if it was funny, they laughed. And it was such a big scene. I mean, there's so many clubs, and we were just going up being assholes and being funny. And so yeah, if you came up with us in that generation, you would be a fucking superstar.

The trick about Boston is you could stay in Boston and make a living, and a lot of people just stayed. It was hard to leave and come to New York because- I mean, I watched that documentary where people were making $2,000 a weekend. You're like, that's crazy. I mean, this is back in the day. That was back, they got paid in Coke and cash.

Right, but that's like still crazy, $2,000 a weekend. Yeah, but back then it was nuts, you know? It's just weird how the scene changed so much. Yeah, it's fun. Right now, it's the money. Yeah. Comedy became the music industry. I mean, think about it.

The comics are playing the places that bands used to play. Big theaters, arenas? Big theaters, arenas, and it's just them. There's no overhead. It's a light, and it's a fucking microphone. There's one. Do you like playing in an arena? No.

I mean, I've opened for Louie and a couple of them, and they suck. It's just like, it's so big, there's echoing. It's not like, I don't, I listen, I'm not saying I'll ever get there, but like, it's not really the best way to enjoy comedy. No, the best way to enjoy comedy is what you did to Comedy Cellar.

Small room, like low ceilings. Yeah, comedy's jazz. It's supposed to be underground. People who know about it should go to it. People who don't shouldn't. But now, because it's so exposed and they... Everyone's going to it. They learned how to make money.

There's money. Now they're making people, like they make stars in music. They're making stars in comedy now who will appease large audiences and they'll make that fucking bank. That's why, like you, like if you started fucking blowing up and playing arenas and shit like that from this special, there's gonna be a point where they'll take you down.

They'll fucking like Roseanne, they took Louis, they just take, that's when they can take you down. They can't take you down. And you have nothing. When you have nothing like me. I mean, me too. I like when you post something, people are like, you're gonna get canceled.

I'm like, from what? I live in the Bronx. From what? The dojo of comedy? Right, the dojo of comedy? No offense, Dani. Yeah, well, that's like the whole thing with Tony too. It's like, you guys don't understand,

you're just making him, he doesn't give a fuck. He has his fan base and he's fine. Now I think now people are realizing, comics are realizing that, like Shane doesn't give a fuck. No, it actually helped him I think. Louie too, Louie came back. You can take away the Oscars, the Grammy, you can take away-

But you can't take away a fan base that loved you. No, you cannot. You can take away the fame, you can take away the Oscars, the Grammy, you can take away- But you can't take away a fan base that loved you. No, you cannot. You can take away the fame, you can take away, you know, all the people that liked you but didn't like you because you were famous. Sure. But you will not take away the fans of your comedy. No, you could still be making a really good living.

Yeah, well, do you hope to play, like, do you want to, like, off of this special, if you blow the fuck up off of this and get a sitcom or whatever the fuck, all that shit that they do, are you looking forward to that or are you dreading it? I'm not gonna get a sitcom. Well, you never know.

What would a sitcom be? Yeah, what would it be? It would be you and your mom doing stand-up. Me and my mom shot a sizzle reel for like VH1 because we were both doing stand-up. I and my mom shot a sizzle reel for like VH1 because we were both doing stand-up. I mean, never went anywhere, but like, that's my mom's dream. To get fame.

To just us do something together. That would be fucking wild. It would be wild. I mean, yeah, I'm ready to sell out and get money. You're gonna sell out. You're done. I mean, whatever I have to do. Now you're gonna take,

are you gonna let your mom open for you? If you don't let your mom open for you on the road if you're fucking huge from this special. That's crazy Why do I do that? Can I just give her money? No, you can't. Why can't I just give her money? Because she's a comic. Is she? Then how come she didn't make it and help me? She's trying. She's I mean, she's not trying. You don't know that. First of all, my mom Me and my sister used to go to school every day. My mom was sleeping. She could have driven us to school. She didn't work.

She stayed in bed. Yeah. And she let us walk to school in the freezing cold. Yeah, but that's what we did in the day. But she wasn't worried. She didn't even work. She could have gotten up and driven me 10 minutes to school. It took me like a 40 minute walk in the freezing cold. But that's what we did back in the day. Well, you know what? You should have fucking gotten the car.

She didn't even cook us anything. She was just sleeping. She didn't make you breakfast. No, she was sleeping. But was there breakfast to make? Maybe like cereal or something. That was our generation though. That was the that's what we grew up with.

That's what I think. Sure. I think it made you funny. 100%. If you grew up with two parents that loved you to death and gave you boundaries and it was there for you every day and drove you to fucking school and you weren't walking 40 minutes going,

this fucking twat, fuck that. But you know I'd probably be married and have kids and have a pension. Like it's, listen, I have a friend that used to do standup. She quit, I went and stayed at her house. She has this beautiful house in Seattle on the water with her two dumb dogs and her husband. She seems pretty happy.

Is that what you want? I don't know. I wish that I wanted that. You don't want that. No, but I wish I did. But you don't. It's not in you. Probably not.

It's no way. Could you, you still have a boyfriend though, the same guy? No, I don't have a boyfriend. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm dating, I'm not dating. It's like a nightmare out there. I thought it is.

It's like, it's truly a nightmare and it's like. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that. It's just truly a nightmare. You're lucky, like honestly, just stay with your wife no matter how bad it is, it's not as bad as going on these dating sites. I could not even imagine. It's a nightmare.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine going to an app or one of these things and having to meet some stranger. I'm not even on the apps anymore, I just stopped. I'm like, I don't care, maybe I'll meet someone in the real world. Right, but now if you blow up, somebody's gonna meet you because of who you are. I know, but I don't like that either.

Man, but what are you gonna do? I mean, what do you want? I don't know, I just want somebody to like me for me. That's the gayest thing I've ever heard you say. You know what, honestly, if Alan, our therapist, was single, I would date him. Alan? I love Alan our therapist, was single, I would date him. Alan? I love Alan.

I love Alan too. I would date him. I had him today. I'm very jealous. What date did you go to? I didn't go this week. You didn't? I'll text him.

He came to my specialty. I love Alan. Wait a minute, you get to text therapy with him? Yeah, I love Alan. If Beverly ever dies, I'm swooping in. You, he lets you text therapy with him? No, he doesn't let me text him for therapy, but I can text him.

Oh, okay. Yeah, he doesn't let me text therapy him, that's crazy. I can text him, but I thought you text therapy. I zoom therapy sometimes. I do it on the phone. You do it on the phone, what, just voice? That's fucking wild. Is it?

I do zoom, just do the zoom. He never told me that's an option. It's a fucking 100% maybe he doesn't want to look at my eyes because he's has feelings. He must love you though. He does. Do you remember I remember when I first went to him, he had to watch my comedy, make sure I was fucked up enough. Did he really? That's what he told me. He's like, you're you're fine. You're good. Oh, you're you're you calls me a

lifer. Yeah. I go Do you ever think I'm going to be curious? No, no, we, you're so crazy. He's gonna quit doing therapy before we're done with him. I mean, I hope he doesn't ever quit, but he's gonna die at some point. That's gonna be tough. I know, we're all gonna be fucked. We're gonna be so fucked.

We're gonna be fucked. If I, I mean, the one thing I have during the week this morning, I look, we fight, Do you fight with him? I don't fight with him. I've had full fledged screaming matches at him. He'll say stuff to me where I'm like, I just don't. I'm like, I'm just not gonna do that.

Like I'm telling you right now, I wish I could, but I can't. I just get in these relationships where they're just so bad. I said something to Max the other day and I told him this and he's like, you shouldn't do that. I'm like, I got it from you, fuckface. him this and he's like you shouldn't do that I'm like I got it from you fuckface and he's like what I'm like you said this you told me to do this you said that to me about me I'm just passing that on to

my kid he's like I didn't mean it like that I'm like well fucking be more specific you piece of shit what you call call him a piece of shit? Yeah, but we have that relationship Yeah, I'm not I mean he'll laugh it be like wow. Yeah, I mean dude. I've screamed at him like we He's screamed back at me. Wow. Oh, he's got a temper You know, we grew up in the East Village like with gangs and he got kicked out like 16 and he's like a wandering Jew He was a boy. Yeah, he's still is a wandering Jew. I'm going to Cuba with a wandering Jew Yeah, seems like it's your life. Yeah, I don't really trust comics that don't go to therapy.

I think all comics should go to somebody neutral and let it out. I think most people could use therapy. I think everybody could use therapy, 100%. And people give shit, oh, you go to the comic therapy? Yeah, you mean the guy that understands our business? I mean, he also, like, he does really know me. It's just interesting, because he's like,

me and my family grew up just fighting all the time, so he's like, that's how you guys stayed close to each other. There was no real, like, closeness except for fighting. So that's, like, what I exhibit in a lot of these relationships. That's just like, we're fighting, or it's like, we're talking, we're not talking, I'm stopping talking, and then I'm talking.

It's like, it's the same chaoticness. Yeah, I do the same thing. I've been really trying for the last few years not to yell because I found out it's my mother. My mother would yell at me and that's how I get the adrenaline. My whole family screamed. That's how I did.

You get the anxiety, you bury it, and then as soon as somebody gives you the opportunity, you let it out, and it comes out, and it's hard for me because that's my protection. That's, you know, I wanna fight or scream in your face and get you to fight or something like that, and it's useless in adult life. Yeah, fighting like that.

Sometimes it feels so good though to just unleash. It feels fantastic. I so I remember like I was so mad. I had like pantry moths in my house for like three months. What is it? Oh moths, yeah. A nightmare. I wasn't like staying there, staying with my mom. And I came back to my apartment, I double parked like in this driveway and this old lady that must be like 90. Her mom's like 100 or something. I don't know what their ages are. She's like, don't double park here. I need this space. I need to be able to have access to my car 24 hours a day.

It was like two in the morning. So I just was like, whatever. I parked my car there again in front of her thing, and then she's honking. We go downstairs, I start fighting with this lady. And I mean, I was just so frustrated from everything going on, but like we unleashed on each other. It felt good. It did. And I was like, I'm gonna have to fucking apologize to this lady. And I see her when I got back and I was just so frustrated from everything going on, but like we unleashed on each other. It felt good.

It did, and I was like, I'm gonna have to fucking apologize to this lady. And I see her when I got back and I was like, hey, I was going through my own stuff, but I shouldn't have done that and I'm sorry, I shouldn't be blocking your thing. And what'd she say? She was like, no, it's okay.

Like I've known her for like seven years. Right. But like we both had a moment where we were like, I need to take this out on you. And if it is, there's something cathartic about it, that it does release whatever the fuck you've been holding on to, it's gone. It's fucking gone. I remember I yelled at a guy at the red light and I think rage and anger does work changing

in the world sometimes. Because there was a guy behind me, a car in front of me, light would turn green, beep. And I was like, what the fuck? Give me a second. Next light, same situation, guy in front of me. I can't go, beep. And I was like, what the fuck? Give me a second. Next light, same situation, guy in front of me. I can't go through him physically. Yeah, that's crazy. And beep, and I fucking lost.

Third light, I'm like, there's no way this fucking light turn, beep, and I finally fucking lost it. Yeah, you lose it. You're like, you're just baiting me to lose it on you. Pulls up on the side of me. I'm like, what the fuck, I mean it. You're like you're just baiting me to lose it on you pulls up on the side of me I'm like what the fuck I mean, what the fuck are you I mean, I Lost it. It went Everything my wife's done for me the last two months

My mother said to me all this disrespect like little things maxes and all this shit. I've Now you fucking look there's so many father fuck am I supposed to get in front of them? What am I going to do with the fucking car, you fucking idiot? You can't fucking, you don't fucking, he goes, I'm sorry man, you know, I'm late for work. I go, well you're not going to get there any fucking sooner. Well now you're, now we're doing this.

That's what I said, I go, you ruined my fucking day, everybody else's fucking day is ruined because of you, you're a fucking, and he's like, no you're right, and I'm like, all right, we're fucking, you're going to get there. Don't worry about it. He's like, all right, I'm sorry. Doesn't it make you feel good though that he backed down? So good. Cause if he didn't, I was in trouble. He was a very big guy.

Was he? He was a big, but he was- Do you have a weapon in your car? I do. What do you have? I have a bat. I have a bat from Hilarities. Do you have that same bat? I have a Hilarities bat, but I don't want to ruin that cause I do like that one. I mean- I have a bat. I have a bat from Hilarity's. Do you have that same bat? I have a Hilarity's bat, but I don't want to ruin that because I do like that one. I mean.

I have a little mini bat from Bat Day at a baseball park. Oh, okay. And then I have a knife. Do the Yankees, oh, this is in the past. I don't know yet. They're losing, they're not winning. Sorry, they're not winning the World Series. They're not, you guys suck.

Sorry, Ari, it's not happening. Ari, you're not even from New York. He's not from New York. He's like, I was born here and then I was here for Telos six, I was like, you're not a New Yorker. He's not from New York. He's like I was born here and then I was here until I was six, I was like you're not in New York. You're not in New York, go fuck yourself, you're LA. Go for the Dodgers. You were there longer.

He doesn't care. No, he loves the city so much. He does, and he's moving. He's moving to Spain. No, he's going on this trip or whatever and then he's gonna go to England, he said. Oh yeah, England, yeah. He's moving to England. Yeah, I love it.

He has a great life. He does. He has no kid, nothing. You want kids? No. Do I want kids? I'm 46, what am I gonna do? Oh, you can have a kid with a hair lip and a fucking weird

eye. No thanks, no thanks. I don't want a problem. You don't want to have to lower your kid into the fucking pool? I just don't want to have to wake up for something that like might die if I don't wake up. They do die. You do have to wake up for something that might die if I don't wake up. They do die.

There is a certain amount of time that you have to be there. I have a dog, but she's okay for a while, but I don't want to have to wake up because a kid is in his fucking crib and it has crib syndrome. I don't know, I don't want to have to be. When Max was an infant, I had to watch him one day and I was so tired. And I remember I fell asleep on the couch and I woke up,, I don't want to have to be. When Max was an infant, I had to watch him one day and I was so tired.

And I remember I fell asleep on the couch and I woke up and I just was hoping he wasn't dead. Right. And thank God he wasn't even in front of me anymore. He was in his room, he went to his room. Right. And I was like fucking please don't have a knife in your head.

Where would he get a knife from? I don't know, I was just panicking because you're not supposed to nap with. But there is that thing where you're like, I hope this kid's not dead. Oh God. How do you explain? I would have to blame like somebody broke in. I got drugged. I mean, that would be terrible. Yeah. I'm not taking the hit on that. No, that's why.

What were you doing? Napping? I fell asleep. I'm tired. I felt so exhausted. Having a kid is exhausting. I wouldn't. I mean, I used to be a nanny. You were a fucking nanny? Why people will let anyone watch their kids. What the fuck? When were you a nanny?

I did it. I don't know any of this, I mean, I'm definitely going on your mom, a YouTube spiral tonight. What you do with my mom is your business. Oh, I'm doing it tonight, baby. My mom also did Fallon. Get your fucking- So they tonight, baby. Um, my mom also did Fallon. Get your fucking...

She did better than some other comics. Yeah. I forgot about that till just now. Why wouldn't you bring your mom? I forgot. You and your mom should be going on the road together. No. Why?

Why? I'd let her do maybe one show. You have to. I can't, that's crazy. Why not? I can't. I just can't. Why?

I don't know, do you wanna work with your mom? My mom doesn't do stand-up. What if she did? I would 100% work with my mom. Take my mom on the road. No. You already like her. I do like your mom. my mom. Take my mom on the road. No. You already like her. I do like your mom.

Yeah. I'll take her on the road. She can open for me. No, she's going to bug me now. On Instagram, I heard you said I could come on the road with you. She's not that bad though. She's not. You definitely have to put her on some shows that you're doing.

Maybe. I mean, this is crazy. No. It's not. She made me pay rent at 18. They weren't even paying rent to my grandmother They fucking bang booze with you her out of the house dude. I mean, it's crazy. I mean that's that's a crazy ass story I would I don't even know if I had talked to my sister again

Yeah, she's not gonna talk to me. I mean she she owns the house, right? She owns the house now and she got a steal She got a steal and then she also got my stepfather's life insurance policy he left it to her though that was on him it's wild is that his kid though no it's not even his kid no and he didn't leave his kid money didn't leave the kid money I think he left his biological grandchild money not my sister's kid another kid so she got a house. She got a house? In the Bronx. In the Bronx. So she has a house in the fucking Bronx and his money.

And his money and she's so cheap. Is she married? No. So she's just by herself in a house. Well, she has a kid. With who? Black dude. Gotta watch my special.

Oh geez, I can't wait to fucking see it. I can't wait to fucking see it. Is this her mom? Yes. Oh, please play this. Guys, as I mentioned, it's Nana Week. I mean, what the fuck? I mean, my mom's gonna blow up from this. Nana loves you more than Jimmy.

All the gamies, all the meme mommas, the bubbies. This is like Nana Week or some bull crap. Every night this week, we've been trying to get a spotlight on a talented grandma. Tonight's talented grandma is Debbie Baza. She is from the Bronx. And... And she's gonna do some stand-up comedy for us tonight.

I think it's like three or four minutes. Oh, that's all they gave her? Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Debbie Baza! I can't wait for her energy. She has a lame Boozler energy? No, I don't think so. Oh, she must have been. She looks nervous. I don't even know if we were talking during this.

Me and her talking, don't talk, talking, don't talk. Hey everybody, I'm so happy to be here with all of you. Your mom's. I'm married 30 years. This is, I don't know. I'm married 30 years. She repeats herself. It took three husbands, but it's still 30 years.

That's funny, it's a 30 years. That's funny. That's a good joke. Wow, what a great looking audience. Do I look OK? Thank you. It's a lot of work between the creams, moisturizers, and lotions. I got into bed last night, right on the floor.

That's an old joke. I remember that from like I'm 18. But your grown daughters moved back home. That crap shouldn't be allowed. Is that you? I did for three months. They always fighting, screaming, growing up. One morning they're beating each other up over the last pair of school socks.

I'm trying to open my eyes and drink my coffee. I walked out of the room. I figured let the stronger one live. She's lying. She's sleeping. Did you win? She's lying. Oh yeah, I used to beat my sister. I'm running away! I'm gonna run away. So I would reassure him and tell them, honey, you don't have to run away.

I'll get the car and take you wherever you wanna go. She did say that. As a kid, that's, yeah. She used to say that all the time. I'll drive you wherever you wanna go. Give me a thing, but take your sister with you. I like my own room. That's pretty funny.

Your father snoring's keeping me up all night. Isn't that the worst, trying to sleep with a snorer? You've got that little window in between and to fall asleep. That's funny. That's a good joke. I mean, you love my mom. You're her number one fan. I mean... He's right. He's got the no-snore tape

and the no-snore spray. He even got a no-snore pillow. It kind of works if you put it on his face and... That's fucking funny. All right. you're my mom's biggest fan. Be her manager. Take her in the room with you. I think Louis should do her special. She would love it. We have to have the back on together.

I mean... What are we doing here? We're not gonna have her back. I want to have her on our own show. Good. She deserves it. Good. Do that. Here's the thing. She's funny.

She is funny. She is funny, and that's where you got it from. From that, from the Bronx. You got it from all the fucked up shit that happened to you is where you got this fucking, look at Adrienne, not the fucking, I'm gonna give you your flowers cause I love that saying.

And I never. Did you just hear it from a black kid? No, I heard it from a white kid, but I never really get to use it. Well, I love that you can give me my flowers. Thank you. I want to give you, there's nobody like you out there. There's no female comic like you out there. There's very few male comics that are as funny as you out there. And that's the fucking truth. And when Ari and Louie, some of the best comics in the fucking world are behind you, making sure that you have this special.

And then for Joanne, who was at Comedy Central for fucking 20 years, to say, fuck it, yeah, we'll take it. And they're not taking anything but originals. The fact that they leased it is crazy. They're leasing specials. Not really. They wanna own it, they wanna have it, so it's theirs. They don't want you to, because if it blows the fuck up fuck up they don't in a year from now. It's yours, right?

So it's just a bad business model to let people have their own shit back It's just not really what they do for her to do that means that they really like you and the special killed Listen, it's fucking, you're hilarious. The special's fucking hilarious. You're gonna make me cry. I'm just so, look at me, I know that we're not, like we don't talk, we're not fucking pals like you and Ari and all that, but really,

when it really affected me when I saw you open for Louie and I saw you go to that next level, I'm like this person should be as big as any of these other folks. I will say this, when you tweeted something or you put it on FaceTime, or not FaceTime, on Instagram, I guess, you shared a story, and what you wrote was so nice, I screenshot it.

Because I would screenshot stuff that people said that was nice, because sometimes you just need to remember that. Yeah. But what you said was really nice, and I really respect you, and it meant a lot to me. It is true, you are one of the ones out there right now. There's nobody like you.

That's so nice. And you're who you are offstage, onstage, you don't compromise shit, and you're this special. I really hope that it fucking blows it up and gets you a fan base so you can fucking get your own goddamn house, you can tour the country. You have fan. I have my own kids I can tour to.

You can, well let's not have kids. Let's not do that. Just get dogs. I'm just gonna have dogs. Get dogs. Yeah. Have dogs, get a guy younger. You want younger?

That's the only ones that like me now. I'm in that age group where like I'm 46 so it's like 38 to 44. Yeah. That's the sweet spot. That's perfect for you. Get a nice dude with his own fucking money, and I swear to God, you have to go watch this special.

Go to Netflix, tweet about it, share it. Do all that shit that you do for a guy taking a shit in a fucking train. All the dumb shit that you guys fucking support and put out there and get 17 million views of horse shit, this is something you need to go and get behind and support and tweet out the clips and spread the fucking word and use your fan power

to make this shit happen because this is one of the ones right here and we need her to, and people need to see her. And this, because of what you do, it helps comics. It helps comedy. Because people get, oh, this is just comedy. They're making fucking jokes, stupid. It's funny. And go see your mom.

Go see my mom, she's gonna be on tour. Go support her mom. Go see her at a diner. Go to any black diner or nightclub. Make sure you go see her. Any diner that she's performing at. We're gonna go to Patreon right now and answer questions. Let's do it.

Your website right now, are you on Punch Up? No, but I'm gonna get on Punch Up. They just brought up Carlos Mencia's asshole. Ooh. Did you see that? No, I wish it. For some reason he pulled his pants down and banged a moon at the club.

I don't know the details. Wait, what? Yeah, bring it up real quick. He, I don't know, it's on TMZ. What does it say? What does the headline, read the headline. Make it bigger, please. If you're rude, I go rude.

Full moon at comedy club. This is like so sad, I'd rather he steal Joe. I mean, he is. This is like so sad to me. I can't believe it. Oh my God, this is like a level I can't imagine that. What does it say? Read it Danny, right there. Called out a couple for being rude at his stand up set, then he dropped his pants and took a bow and showed his bare ass in TMZ's pics.

I mean dude this is like, wrap it up, this is not good. Dude, first of all, you have the ass of a middle-aged white woman. It's not even nice. It's fucking terrible. It's disgusting. I think that looks like my mom's ass, if I would have to imagine what it would look like.

And now that's everywhere. That's a crazy response. It's a crazy response. So I'm gonna go, I'm going on, I'm gonna open for Ari January, February, March. Oh, that's great. Yeah. That's perfect. I love, look at Ari. Oh, that's great. Yeah. That's perfect.

Look at Ari. Let me tell you something, Ari. Fucking... I just thought it'd be so cool too. He's helped me so much. It would just be cool to go on tour with him after the special comes out. One of the biggest comedy supporters... He's all about fucking funny. Yeah, he loves comedy.

It's all about funny. That's why he lives the life he lives. He knows, I have to make this much money to pay my bills. Go fuck yourself with everything else. If it wasn't for Ari, this special wouldn't have happened. Yeah, 100%. And Louis, because when I wasn't gonna do it on the paywall, Louis, I think, didn't really want to do it anymore. Really?

I think he's just like, where am I in it, you know? If you're not gonna use me to do it for that. Right. And then he was like, no, but direct it, and he was like, okay, yeah. Yeah, no, Louie, sometimes you have to have to say, Louie, do this, and he's like, all right, cool. I think he was just like, well, what do you need me for?

If you're not gonna put it on my paywall and use my fans that know who you are. I think he's like, so what am I, and he's like, well, direct it, you're a great director. And honestly, his vision for it was beautiful. It looks amazing. I'm telling you right now, Louie is one of the great directors,

because he told me when he was trying to get me to do it this hour, I was like, I'm not doing the fucking Village Underground. I did it. I was the first one to do it. Everyone's doing it at the Village Underground. Village Underground is everybody's backdrop. I was like, I'm not doing it. I go, as long as you're holding an iPhone, in your eyes behind that, that's what I want. And then, you know, he came in, so I showed up at the thing. I was like, this is perfect. He truly is like a director. He came in and within 30 minutes changed everything. I mean, we got to move that. I need something

here. Get that. He's looking at, he's looking at shit. I even, everything was fine to me. They had like handmade lenses. I mean, like the lighting, everyone that saw it was like, I love this. Cause they did the earlier shows had to have that lighting too, there wasn't enough time. Everyone's like, we love this light. I mean, he's like such a brilliant mind and like, it does look different than the actual comedy seller.

He is one of the fucking best directors, writers, and comedy guys ever. And I'm so glad he did your special. And Ari's so autistic that he's like, we gotta kill the least amount of seats. Like, he's also amazing, and I feel bad for other people that won't have both of them to do. Well, you shouldn't, because you deserve it.

You deserve that for your special, because you're in that caliber, and I hope that this shoots you into that thing. So you're gonna be opening for him all these dates.
