Will be in Wilmington, North Carolina at the Dead Crow Comedy Club August 14th through the 16th for five shows
I love that club. It's a new location. I haven't been to the new location very excited to check it out
Long Island, New York
Years since I've been there. I'm back at the Belmore in Long Island on Saturday August 23rd
For two shows two shows at the brokerage comedy club. And then speaking of hot Phoenix, Arizona,
I am going to be at standup live for four shows.
I'm going to be there September 5th and 6th at standup live in
Phoenix. It's a huge room. Come on out. I haven't been to Phoenix in a while.
Dan Soder.com for all dates, including the golden retriever of comedy.
That's the theater tour that kicks off in late September in Los Angeles. We got all the dates listed and all the dates are
up on my website for sale. DanceHunter.com for tickets.
You know what really makes me feel, there's just a lot of stuff that's making me feel
very, very, very, very old. But how much I miss MTV News,
because it was legitimate.
Like dude, that fucking typewriter thing
would come across like,
do, do, do, do, and you'd be like,
something happened.
You just knew, there wasn't cable news
up your butt all the time.
So the breaking news actually meant something.
And then they were like,
like I remember the MTV News where they were're like Tupac Shakur was killed.
And you're like, after the Tyson fight and you're like trying,
you're just like at someone's house and you're like, what did they say?
My first news I remember is the OJ chase. I was five. That's nuts. June.
I kind of remember it as my first memory. Yeah.
It was like my mom and me watching it happen,
but also watching the case with my mom is like something I remember very like my first memories with my mom watching no
Jk's that's awesome. Yeah, cuz your mom's like he didn't do it
My Irish mom he definitely did that look at him boy. That's a black man. That's guilty of murder
Falling for driving away. Why would he be in a Bronco if he didn't murder. Falling, he's driving away.
Why would he be in a Bronco if he didn't do it?
He, my dad was from the Bay area, right?
So anybody from the Bay area was like,
it's what New Yorkers do.
Every city does this.
When you grow up in a city-
Was Nicole Simpson an Irish Catholic?
I feel like she was probably a Catholic.
That was probably, that was probably up there in my house.
We had a lot of crosses in the home.
Yeah. Do you think they would have put a picture of her up?
Possibly.
Like rosary around it.
Pray for Nicole.
But my dad loved OJ because he went to
Galileo High School.
He's from San Francisco.
Dude, I cannot stop watching the Diddy case.
So this is you, do you feel, because you brought up OJ,
do you think this is your-
Well dude, I had a friend that worked in nightlife,
his older brother did, right?
And there was certain guys, they were always like,
yo, don't be around.
And I always was like, oh, he's talking shit, da da da.
And now over the years I had heard,
and now it's come to fault.
Would they say that, wait, they would say,
don't come around Diddy?
Yeah.
Because they knew about all the hot, you know, what's crazy is they said it
about the same guy. I said it about spacey Kevin spacey and then Kevin
spacey spoke at my high school graduation. So he's like pervert. He's
like pervert. No, Stradamus. He's just in clubs. He's in clubs. He has to
get them what they want. He touches people. He goes, yeah. Just stick away from Christian Slater.
He's kind of a fucking bad dude.
No, the guy shows up to Vegas and he's like,
yo, let me get like a bunch of this and this.
Now here's my question to you.
Morally speaking.
Yeah.
Isn't this guy part of the problem?
He's just a kid from Washington Heights
that was trying to figure some shit out, man.
Yeah, but that you could say that about anybody. I guess did he just get from Brooklyn
Did he's trying to use some baby?
Just a kid from Harlem that wants to shake his shoulders and be fucking slathered up. Yeah, man
But I just didn't realize rap was so gay that why did you think they got so mad about all the gay jokes?
It's like priests. It's like, you know when priests priests are like, I hate the gays. And then it
turns out you're like, oh, you were getting just either railing
little boys or at some motel with a gay.
What's that guy like Charlie Kirk? The, the, I want to sit on
a college campus with a sign that says rap is gay.
Oh, that'd be so funny. And then it just, it's just on world
star and you go, gee, Ricky It's fine rap is no. I think what it is is they it's based in like
You know masculinity it's based on like being tough and shit. So you can't be gay
So any kind of gay shit they'd be like shut the fuck up and then no it's like they'll kill you
They'll push it down though. That means like pushing it down
Which means you know when you push something down and now now all the old Tupac videos are coming out.
He's like, hi.
I'm like, dude, Alex English looks great.
He was a theater, he was a theater kid.
Yeah, so was I.
Yeah.
But you didn't do that.
Did you see the guys?
This is a great question as a theater kid.
If you were a theater kid,
you saw the guys that acted gay, but weren't.
Did you see those?
Those like, um, no, they were about that life at my school.
We had our, we had a gay kid that used to rap about being
gay and like sucking D's dude. It was nuts.
That young?
Yeah.
High school, high school.
But you didn't have the guys in theater that were like,
Oh, I love her. She's my friend.
You're like, you're trying to fuck.
No, not too much.
Not too much.
I would say people that were actually really about it.
And then did you have a lot of kids go?
Cause you're, you grew up in Queens,
the pipeline to Broadway, not that far.
No, I don't know anybody on Broadway that I grew up.
They never made it.
No, no.
These fucking crashed and burned everybody from nobody stayed in the arts really
That's just funny to know that there's just people out there with like extensive background and like lay vocal and all that stuff dance
Yeah, just a nail tech
She's like yeah, I can give you all of fan of the opera if you want dude
I I wanted to yeah, no, I've seen, I still see people.
I see people I went to high school with.
So it's like.
And was this a performance,
cause New York City.
It was a performing arts school,
but I was within the first five years of it opening.
So we didn't even have our own building, bro.
We shared a building with the Ry kids.
They launched a high school?
Yes.
And why did your parents send you to that?
Cause it was new?
Well, the other option was paying
to go to a Catholic school,
because my zone school is really bad.
That's what it is.
New York City, it's like if you are,
people like fight to get into the zones
that have decent school.
Well, now there's like,
I heard there's like a whole different lottery to it now.
So you can end up-
And you're a parent.
Yeah.
Are you getting nervous as your son gets old enough
to go to school?
He's in school.
He's in school?
My kid's old now, yeah, dude.
Fuck, dude. I feel like I don't see people for like six years and they're like, my kid's driving. That's how old he school. He's in school. He's in school. My kid's old now, yeah, dude. Fuck, dude.
I feel like I don't see people for like six years
and they're like, my kid's driving.
That's how old he is.
That's how old he is.
It's like, my kid drives now.
As a New York, cause you're a Queens kid,
do you resent your kid being a Manhattan kid at all?
Is there any like,
No, no.
Me and my friends would have fucked you up.
No, I didn't even know Manhattan kids.
Really? I didn't come to Manhattan
I always was last stop on the F train plus a bus
So you're like when you met me I was still doing that
Bus to the last last up on that train 179th Street and then a half-hour bus to hillside and Springfield
And then I walked two blocks of my home. Yeah, dude. I live deep in Queens Village
So go into Manhattan to you guys and I saw you every night, dude. I live deep in Queens Village. So going to Manhattan to you guys was like...
And I saw you every night, dude. I used to take a voyage after I saw you.
But what I was saying is when you were growing up, coming into the city was like a non-starter.
Like, just like...
As I went to high school, my high school was in Long Island City. It was actually in the LaGuardia building.
Oh, yeah.
Okay. So once I started going there, it was like one more stop into Manhattan.
And that's when I started meeting like people through the city and whatnot.
But until I was like me and my boys, I grew up in my neighborhood, did not go to the city.
No, you fucking hung out in the neighborhood.
You played on your bikes and like there was there was and you went to the park.
I mean, that makes sense. That's that's almost just like anything outside of any city.
You don't do an hour and a half to get into Manhattan.
Yeah, it's fucking wild. Yeah, and you're still in the city.
Yeah, because I had a friend that I went to college with
that was from Long Island.
And I was always like, oh, she's probably in New York
all the time.
He's like, no.
No.
He's like, it takes so long to get there.
But Long Island is like where everybody would leave to go to
to be like, it's safer, it's better.
And then everybody ended up on pills.
Everybody ended up on pills. The Burbs really were a trap.
Bro, my boy robbed the bank.
The Burbs got a lot of people
in the 90s and early 2000s.
My boy robbed the bank with a note that says,
I have a gun, I need this amount of money,
but he was on pills and nodded out until the cops came.
That's really funny.
Same charge in New York state.
Same charge.
Did they pick him up like when you'd fall asleep
in the car and your parents. your parents would walk you to bed?
Were you to wake up and you go,
did I not down on pills?
And the cop goes, you did,
you're gonna do about 15 to 20.
You're fucked.
We got you on armed robbery.
Did less than a year.
When that's your first charge.
Less than a year?
Yeah.
Why are we not robbing banks? becomes criminal evidence and I was joking your honor I was clearly
kidding we should all rob banks how do you even rob banks anymore here's my
theory about bank robbers if I if we were born 200 years a hundred fucking
back why are we not robbing banks? 150 years ago, all you should be
doing is robbing banks. I'm pretty sure you can still do it, but it all has to be
inside now. It all has to be inside baseball now. Yeah, I'm not talking
about me and you going to get in some snazzy suits, some shoes with some grip,
I owe you some bandanas. Know what I see happen and then I could ride on the
side of the car while Katie drives it. One of those bonnets. And we're on the side like,
that's right. The, the model gang.
Give me another one of those Tommy.
Oh dude, I drink egg creams every morning.
What's an egg cream?
It's like a milkshake kind of thing with a really old
babysitter that used
to make those all the time. Gross. I don't have a pretty
gross. It's like it's like dry humping of milkshakes. And
isn't it hot sometimes? Can you make it hot? I don't know. I
hate hot dairy. Yeah, hot dairy. Like, when you do coffee,
do you a black black? Damn, dude. Yeah, construction worker.
No, it's I know what I was thinking about this late
Like once you have a kid you're just tired all the time. Yeah, watch it happen
That's just part of being a dad. Yeah, just being tired all the time
So you just need to you need the straight stuff when nitro brew will kill me. Well, I hate it, dude
It makes me feel crazy. I can rob a bank
Give me some
Kids a bath
back. Give me some kids a bath. I might send them to their maker. I'm on some nitro brew. You can't get bathed. Your kids
do. I watched all my friends have kids and then they go
through this phase. It's funny to watch because like around
eight or nine years old, you guys start sleeping again. Like
that's interesting. I wonder when they start becoming human
again, where they go like, Hey, do I go? What have you go even up to you and you're like I've been here the whole time
It's good to have you back because they I mean I think like one to eight
They just fucking destroy it then around nine or ten they get a little bit of this like I want to be on my own
I'll go to bed like you don't need to do that and that's when you watch your friends go like
Alright, I think that little thing that I made is taking care of itself. Yeah, the dog, I just bought the puppy. Yeah, the dog is
helping. Is it? Oh, yeah, they're best friends. That's
awesome. God damn it. You got a golden retriever to Yeah,
dancer.com. The golden retriever of comedy.
I love that. It's red. It has made you the golden retriever of
comedy. That's opiate Anthony subreddit back in the day when I
used to go on opiate Anthony. Oh, that's where that came where that came yeah they're like this guy's like a golden retriever
he used to throw a premise and he'll chase it down I like that is but they're not wrong
good sometimes the internet can have good nicknames for you good comedy good comedy
comment yeah not all of them most of them are not good yeah but at the same time comedy
fans are interesting.
I love comedy fans because I mean, you're a wrestling fan, so that makes sense.
It's very similar.
Comedy fans and wrestling fans both take the same amount of showers.
Which is a normal amount.
You know, it's been proven you have to shower every day.
So I resent that on the fans of both comedy and wrestling.
We all shower enough, okay?
We're not walking around with this roll-on deodorant
like a bunch of fucking pigs.
I think they might be one of our sponsors.
But it's weird that everyone's just cool
slathering themselves with a stick of butter.
Have you seen roll-on deodorant?
No, please explain.
Everybody's doing it now.
They are special.
Mando.com.
But they're doing this roll-on. Please explain. Everybody's doing it now. They are special. Mando.com. Slash. Soder.
But they're doing this roll on.
Don't you roll on most deodorant?
You have under your armpits, right?
They're telling you to do it on your thighs, on your body.
It's like gross.
It's gross.
Just do your armpit.
That's insane.
Just do your armpits and bathe.
How much smells are you get?
I don't know. Can I tell you something? I don't have a sense of
smell, so it doesn't really matter. COVID long COVID, not long COVID
cigarettes from 12 to 30. Then COVID. Okay, I had a very dull sense of
smell. Smoking cigarettes really fucked it up. Then COVID took it out
and it's gone and it's,
I don't really miss it. What's the, what do you smell?
Nothing. I get nothing. I'm nose blind.
Have you seen a doctor about that?
Yeah, I talked to my ENT about it. I talked to my ENT about it. And they were like, yeah, I'd have to do like,
I'd have to go to like physical therapy, but for noses.
That's bullshit.
That's nuts.
It's the final countdown.
It's like vinegar.
But for real, I would have to get, I'd have to do these exercises where you like look
at the card, what it smells, then you go, and like, I'd have to like work it back up.
No thanks.
Honestly, living in New York, I think I'm good.
Yeah, that is true.
It's just fine. I can taste, I still can taste, not as well York, I think I'm good. Yeah, that is true. I can
taste. I still can taste. Not as well, but I can still taste whatever did. Don't need
it. Listen, maybe when I'm 60 and I want to train my nose to come back. Yeah. I heard
Keith Robinson said the same thing a few years back. What about not having a smell? It just
it all trickled down from there. What the fuck you mean?
Keith has fought back.
I watched Keith go through two and I was like, that scares the shit out of you.
Watching anybody go through something, you're like, oh, fuck,
I wouldn't handle it this well.
Have you ever had a friend get a heart attack or like someone?
Yeah, I'm I'm 30.
Who else is who's having heart attacks?
Colin Quinn, Colin Quinn.
Yeah, that one scares me.
There's like people that you go like, oh no, oh no, oh don't fucking die.
But you're...
What was that?
What was that comic?
I never knew him.
Everybody called him an asshole, but he like went blind.
Todd Lynn, dude.
The man like fell apart as a human.
Todd Lynn was so mean to everybody and just fell apart.
But here's the thing about Toddlin, I loved him.
No, he was funny.
And he loved me.
I stayed away from him, I didn't know him.
He was so mean.
I watched him be so mean to people that I was like,
when anyone would be like, fuck him, I was like, I get it.
I've watched him be,
what I liked about Todd was I would give it right back to him
when I was like just an open mic'er
and he always would like like kind of like that.
He'd be like, who the fuck? Because he had a bad arm and I always called it his Bob Dole arm.
So every time he'd talk shit, I'd just go, Toddland, Toddland, Toddland.
Where was he from? Philly?
No, he's from the South.
Oh, okay.
But when people are assholes and then they start having poor health, it's an interesting choice. Cause he goes,
did you think you were going to end up here? If you're like mean and then your
fucking health starts failing, that sucks. When you're a dickhead your whole life
and then you're like, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Is that just the body dying from in? Oh, you're saying it's like it was
rotten. Yeah, it's just coming in.
Man, if we were like male nurses,
like an old person home, just lean in and you go,
you feel that?
That's you bad, bad boy.
You rotten, you rotten.
You go, help, help.
That's the goal if you want to get out all your energy.
I part time.
Do you ever want to get to hospice?
Do I want to get that old?
I just watched my grandma go through it. I'd probably say no,
because no one, everyone has this idea that your kids are going to take care of
as someone that's not having kids. They always go, who's going to take care of
you when you get older? It's like, you know, same people are going to take care
of you, the nurses that you pay. Cause like, I hate to break this to you. That's
not necessarily true. I hate to break this to you. That's not necessarily true.
I hate to break this to you.
What?
No kid, very rarely do kids take care of their parents.
This isn't the fucking forties where they're like,
well, we've got the little side suite
where our mother-in-law lives.
She's in poor health.
They go like this.
No, you put them in hospice.
Shady, oh, hospice is like on your way out.
Hospice, pump me full of opium
and give me like a couple packs of cigarettes.
I'm cool, dude.
If I know I'm dying, I'm gonna get fucked up.
And I mean that, I mean that.
If I'm like, if a doctor's like,
you're on your way out, it's great.
I'm calling your buddy that new diddy and I'm going,
I need a fucking Elks heart amount of hash
and then just pills.
I want all the pills.
I don't even want to know what's going on.
I want to die and then go, am I still on pills?
This is nuts.
It's just...
But isn't that what happens?
Don't we get all that DMT that we've been...
Yeah, that's why I don't do DMT.
Have you ever done DMT?
I haven't done DMT.
I've done ketamine treatments though.
That's fine. It's similar, isn't it? I don't do DMT. Have you ever done DMT? I haven't done DMT. I've done ketamine treatments though. That's fine.
It's similar, isn't it?
I don't know. I think DMT is, this is my, always my philosophy on DMT.
I've had a lot of friends of mine have done it.
I think it's like unwrapping your Christmas present.
It's like going in your parents closet at Christmas and seeing your Christmas presents before Christmas.
Great. You get to see what it is.
But now
on Christmas morning, you're like, Oh,
Sock and Boppers aren't nearly as good as a, yeah, I knew I'm going to beat my brother's
ass all week. Oh, cool. But if you save it, then you go, you know what I mean? Save the
surprise. Yeah. I don't want to come during foreplay.
It's fair. I agree like if you if that is and then you like all your boys have
done it or just like that's it. I mean it makes sense. That's what happens.
No, they don't give you a definitive answer. They go like well, we all see the
same thing. I don't know. Some people just find out like I didn't like it. I
shut my eyes. I fucking hated it and some people would go like
It's you know, it's like a restaurant. It's like when people go to a restaurant like it That's the greatest chicken parmesan. You'll yeah, you have a friend go. It's chicken parm. It's fucking
Oh, if you know me, you know, I love to worry specifically about what's wrong with me. Why does my neck hurt?
Why is my why is my hips twinge? Oh, no, dying? And then it's like oh why don't I just go to

What about ayahuasca have you done? No, I was interested about doing that.
I was, I would do that if I did it right. Yeah. Like I would have to do it right. Like change my diet, go to South America. You have to like do it. Do it. I've heard San Diego in a
guy's living room to throw up on a carpet. Yeah. I don't want to get to that
level of like where it makes you weird. Yes. Too much because there you don't
want to, you don't want to open the door and the bugs come in the house. What did
I do? But it's just, we'll edit.
But it's like, I don't want to get to.
I got it.
I don't want to get there.
I don't know.
We can edit that out.
Brian, me, I know what you mean.
I, and we'll edit this out.
It's like, feels like two words.
We'll edit both those names out.
Sorry.
DanSorter.com, come see me on the road.
I'll tell you who we're talking about.
That's my reward to give you, to come see me live.
Come see me and Ricky live.
We'll tell you the exact news.
We'll tell you everybody.
RickyVilles.com, DanSoto.com.
We'll tell you everybody on the road.
But there is a thing of, yeah, you go like,
it's almost in the same realm of when people get
like procedures, you know?
Like I got a hair transplant and you're like, it worked.
Yeah, but your hair transplant
isn't gonna change your personality.
And that pisses me off.
That pisses me off.
I don't know.
That's what pisses me off
about people telling me to do ayahuasca.
It's like, oh, you don't fucking like me.
Maybe you're the fucking problem.
They go, you stay the fuck away from me.
Do this drug.
It makes you way cooler.
You. You? I'm fine. You're gonna do great on this. Honestly, I think we'll spend a lot more time He goes, you stay the fuck away from it. This drug, it makes you way cooler.
You I'm fine. You're going to do great on this.
I honestly I think we'll spend a lot more time after you want to get lunch after
you take after you go up to the hills.
I my problem with I was because what if you do it and it doesn't work?
You just puke and shit.
So I have two people that went to the same
retreat and I have another guy that went to the same retreat and
I have another guy that did like, which I don't like. He just did it at the
Beverly Hills Hotel. That's what I mean. No, that's that's like a fetish.
That's not like an ayahuasca trip. Okay, I need to go to South America. I need to
know that the government around I can go to Poughkeepsie and be fine. I don't need
to go all the way to fucking South Africa. I need to know that I might come out of this and it
might be a different government.
Really? Like stop tripping and go. Is it a dictatorship now? We're still in
the ends of it. All right. Can I fly home? Are we cool? Dude, I want to
go to South America. If I'm going to do it, I want to fucking do it. I
don't want to. I don't want to go to Long Island and have a guy that's
like, all right, it's my backyard. Don't throw up in the flowers. You're gonna shit your fucking brains out. But you'll be capable of pure intimacy at the end.
As I will show you.
Honestly, this is just the fucking it's a jet's glass filled with Nyquil.
And then the friend that talks you into it is also there
Why is your phone out?
Give you a lot of hits. I want to go to like a
Grass pot do they have it up in in in upstate New York. There's like heroin my friend dude
I've been talked into this one.
There's like a very like becoming famous,
but the thing is they only do it for a certain price.
If they're doing it for too much, they're ripping you off.
Like that's their whole thing.
And dude, I have passed a date
that I was supposed to go already.
That's how nervous I am about it,
where I'm just like, oh dude.
It starts to feel like,
Iowaska kind of feels like a band
that when you first heard about it,
you were like, yo, what do they do?
And you go, they like rewire your brain,
you puking shit, but it fucking rocks.
And then now it's like, you're like shopping
at like Abercrombie and Fitch and you're like,
is this Iowaska on the,
are they playing an Iowaska song?
This is Iowaska's first album.
Oh yeah, I don't know if I like this shirt.
But it's like, it just feels like I could see someone saying they have locally sourced
ayahuasca.
I feel like I could come home and be like, we froze the kids placenta, right?
That's so funny.
I need to eat that.
I need to eat it.
I need to eat it.
I need to eat that.
So we're trying Oscar.
We need to eat that. We need to do lady
in the tramp
placenta and a kiss in the middle. That's the only way we can show we love
each other or else we're about to get scout and the boy must watch. Yeah,
boy watch be right like like I feel like air Rogers got fried from it like he
did like like he did that and then he came back and he was like, don't go down there.
Don't go down there.
By the way, if he would have came back and won a Superbowl,
everyone would have been like, well, I think I'm going to go to Iowaska.
Everyone would be doing it. I'd be,
I'd be personally paying for Brock Purdy to go for the 49ers and I trip your
balls off young man. Come back to upstate 49ers. And I trip your balls off, young man.
Come back.
To upstate New York.
He's like, I can, it's in Poughkeepsie.
You're gonna drink out of a New York Jets glass.
It's a lot.
It's plastic.
Don't mind the ring light.
There's a lot of microplastics there.
You got a plastic, that's what they say now,
that we have the amount of a plastic spoon in our brains.
We have that much microplastic in our body.
Yes.
As I'm drinking out of a plastic glass.
If you ever ate a cup of noodles, you're cooked.
Loved it.
You're cooked.
I mean, every high school.
New York City public school, and you can correct me,
they're styrofoam trays.
Love styrofoam.
They would melt the fucking food into it
and serve it to us.
Like a fat guy on a couch.
I never got COVID.
There you go.
I think it's the plastics.
Yeah.
You eat enough Chinese plastic.
Stop saying it's bad.
Start saying it's evolution.
Yeah, it's evolution.
Your kid's gonna be strong as hell.
He goes, hey dad, what's this?
And you're like, are you drinking Drano?
He does nothing. Oh, you mean my, my boom boom juice? It's just something where you're
like, Oh my God, they've evolved.
That's my strong juice dad.
Oh, watch this. He's lifting your car. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's the thing about, uh,
we probably didn't have this much shit a hundred years ago in our food, but people were dying
at the age of 40.
Yeah, look at how old people are living now.
I mean, dude, my grandma was at 95 and it was like...
Good for you.
No.
My family's young.
We're young people.
We die young.
Everyone died before 60 except my grandma.
Okay.
She's the old...
She set the high record in a way that like no one's catching that and it was not good.
I would almost say it's better to die young.
My grandfather had one of those heart attacks
where they put a pig vessel in his heart
and then he lived way past.
They're like, you have like this amount of years
with this thing and he like soared way past it.
Did he give up pork?
I don't think so.
Cause I feel like if you have a pig heart.
No, not at all.
My grandfather loved hot dogs.
If you have a pig heart.
One of his last fucking meals was a hot dog
from a fucking stand. But he's got like the, right, like he's got the pig piece in him. I think
it's like a vessel, right? I don't know. Like any order or whatever, but I always
read on my parents always saying, but just like eating a hot dog and then it
go and buy and being like, it's like the spider-man thing. It's like, but I'm
aren't I pig and aren't you pig? Yeah, how old were your grandparents when they died like
Grandpa made it pretty far my grandmother. I never met I had a step-grandma
Huh? Yeah, close then and then my Spanish grandma
We didn't really know her then my grandfather died and she moved to the house and she got Alzheimer's
So she only spoke to us in Spanish
So we never got really had a conversation with my grandmother. Did anyone in the house speak my dad
Man, that's fun to translate for your mom losing her mind. Oh, dude. It was it was past that they were trying to fix it
But what a time to just have fun with her. She says uh
She says she was a real bitch to me when I was a kid
She says, uh, she says she was a real bitch to me when I was a kid and just said all the stuff you wish you would have said. It was during that. I'm sorry.
I didn't take more emotional accountability for you. She's like, yeah,
that vocabulary is not my father at all. She says I'm a dumb bitch. She's going
to the fucking church on Sunday. She'll be gone. How old was she when she lived
with you?
Is that grandparent living with dang sound?
I was young as hell.
Did you like it or hate it?
Hate. So she was real into the church,
like the church that you scream and dance and you stay all Sunday and like you do
that. We like it was,
it was like in an excessive amount to church. And then also like,
she, she didn't like that my mom was Catholic.
What was she? So she was a...
I don't even know whatever Puerto Ricans are from the Bronx.
I usually think they're Catholic, aren't they?
No, she wasn't Catholic. It wasn't Catholic. No.
And she hated your mom because she was always...
My mom actually worked at the Catholic Church.
It's always weird to me when people hate Catholics. It's like, oh you hate...
They just didn't agree on church.
That was about it. Yeah. And then like it was just like it and then she moved in.
At one point me, my dad, my older brother, younger brother were all sleeping in one bedroom and my
grandmother had her own. My parents were sleeping on the floor on a mat. They had to move into our
room because my grandmother would stand over them in the living room every day
Yeah, so she was like a living ghost a dude and like a physical presence Yo
She dyed her hair blue because she was crazy and she would just go on walks and disappear and then like she'd show up to
Our baseball games. Yeah
I'd be like the blue haired ladies back and like so funny
You're like you're like one for four on the day and you're like, come on rookie Get yours. God damn it grandma's grandma's here. She shuffling grandma's in her nut shuffling here
I'm coming through the the trees like when they gave mr. Burns too much radio
Dude she used to try to hit us, but she wasn't fast enough,
so we'd just dodge her and talk shit to her all day.
It was fucking nuts.
It was nuts living with her.
And then the church stole all of her money.
The one she was going to took all my grandfather's money.
Yeah, dude.
It was wild times, bro.
Did your dad, this was obviously his dad, right?
His mom, yeah.
But his mom and his dad, they took his dad's money.
And they retired in Puerto Rico.
So like everything was out there.
And then my grandma had to move back from Puerto Rico after a terrible hurricane that
hit and moved into our home.
And we went from having like a two bedroom house to a one bedroom house, grandma living
in my bedroom, all the kids and the adult and my parents were sleeping in the living
room.
And then they do, my brother came home sick from school one day and he had like a
terrible fever and he woke up and my grandma was praying the sickness out
screaming back at the sky and no no thanks just a night quill in our own
space yeah that's the devil stuff no my she would tell us about the devil all
the time she'd tell us like we were going to the devil because the way we
worshiped yeah yeah dude I was a confirmation. I was, I was, I was a teacher at the Catholic school.
Did she speak any English at CCD?
Or is it mostly?
But she forgot she has Alzheimer's.
She forgot she spoke English. Oh, fuck.
So, dude, it was wild.
Like you do that, like the half white, the white party.
You was going like this.
What? I'm this. What?
I'm sorry.
What?
English.
English.
Who is?
I don't know what you're saying.
Why are you saying El Diablo?
Who is El Diablo?
El Diablo what?
Stop, help me.
And she's like, you're going to die.
Yeah, that's, and dude, in her mind,
she's like trying to
save her grandkids and her grandkids like fuck you and my brother my dad had
two brothers that were like in and out of jail and fucking like one of them
robbed the house while grandma was staying with us she's not gonna snitch
she couldn't yeah she could she didn't remember. She passed the whole eye detector, dude. You're like, then why do we have you?
We can have a parent name and tell us.
Dude, when she died, this is just a real.
I don't actually remember her dying.
I don't remember her death.
I remember my grandfather's death.
My grandmother's, I don't remember.
Well, that changes your home.
Like, she dies, doesn't that kind of?
I got my room back with my older brother, yeah.
That day must have been like.
I don't remember. I really wish I had more memories of when she left
I don't and I think she might have left before she died
Like she was like put somewhere before she died
So like it was like she left then four or five months later passed then they'll okay. Yeah, cuz the
When when that happens we were talking about hospice, but that happens when you like put them in the home
Yeah, and you kind of do they're like All right. Well When that happens, we were talking about hospice, but that happens when you put them in the home
and you kind of do the like, all right, well.
Well, my dad was trying his best
because he was the only one.
My uncle showed up to my grandfather's funeral
in handcuffs.
He got brought in by the people in and out.
And then my other uncle.
The cops brought him in there were like.
Yeah, he got to leave jail to come see his dad in the coffin
Yeah, bro. That's pretty nice. It was kind of wild that it got to happen
But um, he got to go in and out and then the other brother was a full conspiracy theory before like the internet Yeah, dude
Back before you get him in magazines and letters, bro
He swore my grandmother lost her memory based on military bombing they did off the coast of Puerto Rico.
Like he had all these wild like runs
that were like.
Those guys must be so bad.
So pissed.
Old school conspiracy guys.
And pedophiles.
The guys that had the van.
Yeah, because they're like.
You don't even need a fucking van
anymore.
They go, we used to work.
We used to work.
They had to get a puppy, train it not
to piss all in the van.
They also had to go.
They had to buy all that candy. They had to buy in. They had to buy in puppy, train it not to piss all in the bath. They also had to go buy all that candy.
They had to buy in for success.
Yeah.
They're like, listen, it's as much as you want.
If you were willing to buy a Nintendo system in 1988,
your returns, your windfall of ass
was probably through the roof.
That's why priests do so well is because the church pays for all their nice stuff
then and supplies the kid. That's also like dude. I worked in the church. I
worked in the Catholic Church. I was I was part of it. I was a CCD teacher
for three year olds like not once bro, not once. No, we should have happened
now, but maybe or maybe did you miss it? I was we were also a church on the brink
of the hood.
Oh, were there like I don't think you can really stay in the church to go
Richard. I'm just going to tell you these ones. You can't fuck
they're violent squirrely.
They won't trust you go to where the living is good.
You know what you say white bread white t white tush. It's, uh, you need like a family that like lets you like have dinner with them.
That's not happening in my neighborhood. I also think it's well,
I think it does happen in poor neighborhoods with it does.
It just happens when they, they're predators. So they find prey.
So if they saw you and they didn't think they had a shot,
I don't think they revealed them. I was a mouthy little kid. Yeah,
they're not going to, you're a sn that. I don't want him to kiss and
tell. I'm trying to fuck these kids and keep it between us. I'm looking for a
ship. Priest looking for situation ships. We were also, it was still around the
time. My mom went to that church. Like she grew up in Queens and she used to
like tell us the stories of the nuns hitting them. So it was like, my mom was Irish Catholic.
Still on like, I can probably get punched in my mouth.
And my mom said that rapping on the knuckles.
Oh, yeah. Very real thing.
My mom stole the teacher's edition of a textbook
and they found out and they slapped my mom across the face
and threw it out the window.
She had to go downstairs, get it, come back upstairs.
Then they slapped the other side of her face,
sent her out back out the window to fucking get it again, dude.
Yeah.
So these nuns are like, bitch, bring me my book.
My book, bitch.
She goes, powder my hand.
Sister Mary, I just don't think, powder my hand, bitch.
You about to get a lesson from God.
Kapow.
That's fucking wild.
The 10th Commandment says,
Church family, man.
We're big. We're big into God.
There's shit all over.
Yeah. My mom grew up Irish
Catholic and like the tales of
casual abuse.
You're like, by the way, which
they were paying for.
Yeah, my mom went to a private
Catholic school, private school.
They used to pay to have their
kids beat.
Yeah, that's insane to go like. But as a parent, do you kind of get it?
If there's a parent, like in your older, your kids, a little mouthy, you go,
I'm gonna send you to Catholic school and you're counting it out for me to go.
And father, if you could go a little extra lessons this week, but I also,
we also lived there in town
where a coach can put you in your place. That's gone dude. That is made me feel
on my kids. Sorry playing t ball. Go yeah. Do nothing made me feel everybody
take a knee. If you want to the coach is just taking me your helmets, not a hat
dude, passive aggressive coach or he goes, I guess you call that trying.
Oh,
aggressive coach or he goes, I guess you call that trying.
You know what I want my coaches mean.
Say I want my coach.
I've decided I will not step into coaching until at least fifth grade,
third to fifth grade. I'll jump in. That's where it starts getting important.
Your importance will be talking shit about the coach when he's mean to your kid.
Um, yes. You'll excel at that. talking shit about the coach when he's mean to your kid. Yes.
You'll excel at that.
But I also like, you gotta remember,
these are Manhattan people, a lot of them are transplants,
they don't really know, like we're playing baseball
on top of Pier 40, that's a parking lot.
Like what the fuck, like these kids aren't like,
and these, they just don't, they don't get,
like my brother played against Denny Almonte.
Yeah, that's like- that's the years of baseball.
Bronx Bombers, he forged his birth certificate.
He was saying he was my age and he's playing at my brother's age.
It's so funny. He was throwing gas.
Oh, see. And by the way, that was such a fun thing afterwards.
Still got to play in high school once they gave his real age and the rest.
He played, I think.
I don't think it was Xavier, but it was one of the either one of the Bronx schools or and he played Catholic baseball.
It's crazy.
Look, can you look this up for me?
There's a story about a guy.
I'm going to give you the keywords.
You can Google it. This guy just got caught.
He was 24 years old and he was playing junior varsity athletics.
I think he was playing soccer and he just got caught. He was 24 years old and he was playing junior varsity athletics. I think he was playing soccer and he just got caught.
If you're 24 and you go back and you only make JV
kill yourself. Sorry, this is gonna be on tick tock on a live
yourself.
That's insane. You can't make varsity at 24.
You should. Yeah, wait, so so he went back to high school just to play
twenty four year old Venezuelan man arrested for posing as a sixteen year
old high school student. Okay, so what did we deport him in Ohio? Okay. Oh
yeah, ice got him.
Dude, I said I mean they're getting they're getting they're getting people. I mean,
that guy definitely gonna get some wins was getting way too cocky. Oh, going back
to high school.
Well, he was homeless.
Yeah, 24 years old was his girlfriend heartbroken. I mean, way to get him with
a double you get him as a peto and as a fucking, you know, oh, we got this guy locked up. Yeah. Yeah. He can go to that then as well. What did he think was going to happen? Was he scoring? Well, what was his stats? Also, like how dumb does coach have to feel? Yeah. If you didn't win, if you weren't fucking wrecking teams. With a 24 year old.
24 year old, you better be fucked.
Like Danny, Danny Almonte was shelling motherfuckers.
He was just like, he threw like a no hitter
in the Little League World Series.
He was hitting a home run every time he went to bat.
But also he was just throwing gas.
He was throwing it on a six, no 60 is, it's 90 feet.
Yeah.
So it was 60 during that time.
He was pitching that at 60.
Yeah, they were showing like his MLB equivalent.
It was like 97.
He's just, just these fat kids from Taiwan
striking out as his kids just like, slap!
And then when you find out he was faking it,
it was a great news story.
They did that as a bronze bombers, man.
I'll never forget it.
My brother got to play against a few of those kids, man.
That's fucking nuts.
Yeah, baseball in New York, baseball and basketball, basketball specifically.
But baseball around Manhattan is very, very competitive.
Long Island has great people that come out of it.
We knew I knew that kid, Matt Rosati. He played played with my brother. Put jersey even north of the city. But it's really
I learned this with my brother it's like it's just such a different game where it's hot.
So like they would do these things down in Florida where he would have to go down and
play with those kids. But those kids are playing year round. They're playing year round and
then the other thing what I learned was they took two people from each
Public school and you got to go like go in front of the colleges since I went to a performing arts school
I was one of the best players on my fucking team. That's so funny other kids are
Turn to and you catch it in your ass
I one timer.
I bare handed it.
But your gloves still on.
I just bare handed it, Ricky.
Yeah, that's so funny.
Yeah. So they sent me and my buddy
Dylan and we got up there
and there's a school called George
Washington up in Washington Heights.
Nice. And it's nothing but
Dominicans, Puerto Ricans.
And I'm like, dude, we got there.
And it was like, oh, like we're not even,
we shouldn't even bat today.
Like we shouldn't even play.
Like kids that get to play full time are just filthy.
And those kids learn how to play without a fucking mid.
Yeah, yeah, there's bear,
like, you're out.
I recently talked about this on another episode,
but I used to play in for,
when I waited tables in Midtown,
they had a huge softball league,
cause it was be our guest.
So they had like eight restaurants,
eight or nine restaurants.
So it was a whole league.
And then it was all like,
I remember you doing this.
Oh yeah, dude.
Mondays I'd get blackout drunk during the day.
I'd go to shepherd's,
I would go over to the fields right off the East side, off the Upper East side,
and get a drink, ticates, and just get fucking blacked out
by like 1.32 o'clock.
By the time you saw me that night,
I was on my second wave, dude.
I had like napped, I was back,
but it's all waiters, or like the teams.
So it's all like a lot of actors or like comedians
or just also just regular guys that are just waiters.
And then occasionally a restaurant
would just pull a Dominican from the kitchen,
just showing up in baseball pants
and he's hitting it to the fucking,
he's hitting it across the Hudson.
He doesn't speak with anybody on the team.
This is like, like they're all there
and they're like, I think we're gonna get Dakarys
after the game and he's like, midda midda ping.
He's just like fucking out of the park. Oh my God. It was so funny.
This I remember this is one, this one guy that worked at Atlantic grill.
He would just come up and just go like four for four with four dingers.
And you're like, this guy's shit. And I play left field.
I'd always be smoking a cigarette. He'd come up and I'd be like, God damn it.
Toss my cigarette and just run. I had to run all the way back. It sucked.
I love that. I love when people are good at something,
stop doing it and then casually doing it. I wish I had the best.
I watched somebody like just all out, dude. It's great. Like Krista Stefano.
I always said, it was my favorite thing about Jr Smith. Oh yeah.
It seemed like he didn't want to play. Dude.
And when he was in New York, he couldn't concentrate, dude.
He was just too close to Jersey.
I saw him at the club at One Oak one night.
Really?
Before a game, yes.
That's awesome.
He used to be out all the time.
I love that.
I love a guy that just, that's like that baby.
But then they started sitting him.
We made it to the playoffs and they sat him in the playoffs
because he fucking was being such a motherfucker.
Because he was just ripping it.
And then what happens?
We get rid of him.
What happens?
He wins a championship with LeBron James.
Yeah, in Cleveland.
JR Smith is the fucking man.
He's the coolest man.
I loved him when he was in Denver, when he was a nugget.
Oh dude, he was incredible there.
And then he went to the Knicks out and then.
Did his brother play Denver?
No.
Did his younger brother play Denver as well.
I don't know.
I don't know about him just having a red New York's in New York Yankee symbol
in the middle of his neck. It's like okay getting a tattoo like that would
you ever you would that's that's that's gang affiliation. Oh is it that's yeah.
You can't walk around with that or just accidentally doing it.
The Yankees and I love just. I just come back. I go, is this bad?
Is this bad? And he's like, what did you do? I go, why would you get Latin Kings? I go, cause I feel like a king and I love Cholula.
I love Cholula so much.
We go to that restaurant that we like called Latin King?
Oh no, I think it was a whole group.
That's like that.
It was like, oh, well that makes sense
why he wouldn't put a, it's all red.
And he's like, well, that makes sense
why he wouldn't put a C on it.
I had to change it.
I could have, he wouldn't tattoo a C on me.
I mean, yeah, that's like having a gang affiliated tattoo
Oh, he's like he's been having it removed over the years. You can see it's like faded out now
It's what you get yours removed. Um, no, I just show up to make up early
That's the only time it bothers me when I have to film something and they're like, hey, you have to your whole hand
They I usually wear long sleeves and then they just do my hand and now they have this stuff
That's like it sticks. I was on set where I was like, yo
I'm not even going to take it off at the end of the day and I showed up the next day and they're like
Oh, it's pretty good go damn. Yeah. No, they have shit down
It's like paint it is funny when they remove people now when they remove tattoos like back in the day
They're like look at this movie stars got to get all drawn up to play a biker boy.
And then now they're like,
I'm playing an accountant that has autism.
Please cover my tattoos.
And then they wash it off and they're like, what the fuck?
I think that shit, that's why the Yakuza
always were the shit to me,
because they're already in like suits,
because they get their tattoos so precisely
up to where the suit was. And then they Yeah. No, that's that wasn't.
Who is that late night guy that had them all the Australian guy that
everybody fucking hated.
He's comic James, not James Corden. No, the other one before him.
Craig completely covered Craig Kilburn. Yes, completely covered bro.
Craig Kilburn is covered and back in the day covered too. Oh, that's like,
yo bro. He when I heard he was like going back with the networks and shit

It might have been this was a long time ago.
Brian greasy was the quarterback for the Denver Broncos
and he said he tripped over his golden retriever.
It might have been him might have been another NFL quarterback,
but they blamed an injury on like tripping on their golden retriever and I go've been him, might've been another NFL quarterback, but they blamed an injury on like tripping
on their golden retriever and I go,
I think you were drunk.
I think you were drunk and you fell
and you just don't want to admit it.
Yeah, dude.
Cause if, but that's-
When I broke my hand punching the wall,
I fell over my dog, dude.
He goes, I did coke and I looked through my wife's phone.
Next thing you know, I'm headbutting the guest door
cause she won't let me in. Anyways, I'm three to six the guest door because you won't let me in.
Anyways, I'm three to six on the IR.
My dog tripped me.
Just say the real thing.
Let us know.
Yeah, let us know.
This is why everyone is mad.
And I will give, I do want to say this.
I want to say one more late night guy, like Seth.
Seth Meyers.
I don't really know him.
He was nice when I did the show.
Nice guy.
Seems nice.
Ran into him in a restaurant, said hi to him, was like,
oh, he definitely didn't know who the fuck I was.
DM'd me 30 minutes later.
That's really cool.
Ricky, great to see you.
Had the run with the kids.
I was like, awesome.
Seth was super nice when I did his show.
Michelle Wolf speaks highly of him.
Yeah, I think he's good people.
All right, Seth, you've been spared.
But Jimmy and Jimmy, you will fight to the death.
I had a good night with Jimmy though.
I don't care. Why?
Just doesn't feel real.
Oh, really?
Don't feel real. No, he's man.
I know you're not eating your butt while we're wrapping up the
podcast.
That's weird to say to your Siri.
Sorry, we got Katie. Weel. We're doing kill shelter.
That's where I act like she's an hour away
from being destroyed.
I go, get in the cage.
I will adopt you if I choose to.
It's a lot like Kill Tony, but towards dogs.
I go, now.
All right, Modo.
Look at you in your one leg.
Says here you're a five-year-old mutt.
You were just eating your ass.
He goes, Soder killed Tony's dog.
You get a meal.
You win a meal.
Ricky, I've known you fucking forever since.
Dude, crazy.
Broadway comedy club.
I met you through Vecchione.
I've been to your house.
One of my favorite stories about Vecchione.
Was coming to our apartment under the.
To watch, do you remember what we watched?
No.
The Mayweather Pacquiao fight.
Which was the same night Nate Barghetti's hour special was on Comedy Central.
May 5th.
Whoa.
Mayweather Pacquiao.
It was full time magic.
Nate's special.
Vecchione was furious.
He was furious. He was furious.
He wanted Pacquiao to win.
I watched, I would say I watched 2 thirds of May Weather's
career with Mike Vecchione.
He really respected his craft, was not a fan of him.
So I always wanted, there was like fights.
That's that Philly shit.
Yeah.
He's like, yeah.
I fucking hate him.
Yeah, he's a sport.
Yeah, no.
No, Mike.
No, Mike, what are you talking about?
No, no, Mike, what are you talking about?
Yeah, I'm just gonna fucking say it.
I'm gonna say it.
Yeah, dude, he's fucking black and I don't like it.
So, he's so black.
He just keeps buying jewelry.
He really, really loved the way he fought,
but I remember watching that.
I remember you coming over to that.
That was so fun, dude.
Hitting dirty balls underneath the train, bro.
That was when I still, I was still fucking broke broke so we were smoking schware. Oh yeah. Just gross shit. I think I was
invited over because I had the wheat. I fucking miss those days living under the train with my
fucking meat the bull, Mike of Aguillon. Check out Ricky's YouTube channel, go subscribe to it,

the other night, fucking hilarious.
I know you were taping it, I don't know if it's up yet.
It's very, it's fucking great.
Thanks man, I'm doing this thing and I think it's like,
it's so funny, comedy's in such a weird place.
But I keep saying this and somebody said it to me,
I can't remember who it was, it's like,
this is what got you what you do,
now you have to learn to do it faster.
And it's just like so crazy to be doing that now.
I mean flipping bits.
Yeah. A week.
You gotta learn kind of what you wanna get rid of
and what you wanna hold onto for the road.
But you know what I've learned?
If you don't give away the full thing,
if the joke is like, you can give them.
Oh, give it like a little snippet.
Yeah. So you go like.

You should order it.
Because I don't want to do crowd work, man.
Nope.
I think the people I felt bad for people that were good at crowd work.
And then this thing happened because I felt like they were like, Hey, I was doing that.
And you're like, well, now everyone is.
Yeah.
Sometimes I've seen it and it works.
Most of the time.
I think it's just overplayed.
I think it's like, it's a cycle.
Something else will get burned out and then something else.
You know what I mean?
Like.
Yeah, of course.
It's like a play being ran.
Everyone's running the same play.
And you go, all right, I get that.
It's just, comedy's in a weird fucking place.
