Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:38 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,
Starting point is 00:01:11 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,
Starting point is 00:01:29 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.
Starting point is 00:02:05 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.
Starting point is 00:02:22 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.
Starting point is 00:02:38 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.
Starting point is 00:02:53 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
Starting point is 00:03:13 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.
Starting point is 00:03:37 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?
Starting point is 00:04:01 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
Starting point is 00:04:35 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.
Starting point is 00:04:55 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
Starting point is 00:05:13 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:41 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,
Starting point is 00:06:08 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?
Starting point is 00:06:21 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.
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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
Starting point is 00:07:09 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.
Starting point is 00:07:40 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.
Starting point is 00:08:03 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.
Starting point is 00:08:14 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,
Starting point is 00:08:32 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,
Starting point is 00:08:50 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?
Starting point is 00:09:03 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,
Starting point is 00:09:37 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
Starting point is 00:10:05 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
Starting point is 00:10:32 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
Starting point is 00:10:59 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,
Starting point is 00:11:34 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.
Starting point is 00:12:06 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
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:44 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.
Starting point is 00:12:58 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
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:14:05 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.
Starting point is 00:14:35 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?
Starting point is 00:14:53 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.
Starting point is 00:15:09 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
Starting point is 00:15:24 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
Starting point is 00:15:51 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.
Starting point is 00:16:13 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
Starting point is 00:16:32 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,
Starting point is 00:16:52 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.
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:26 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.
Starting point is 00:17:40 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.
Starting point is 00:17:56 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
Starting point is 00:18:33 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?

Starting point is 00:20:54 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.
Starting point is 00:21:12 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.
Starting point is 00:21:24 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
Starting point is 00:21:45 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
Starting point is 00:22:16 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 dude, I have passed a date that I was supposed to go already.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:32 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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
Starting point is 00:24:06 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.
Starting point is 00:24:38 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:12 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
Starting point is 00:26:25 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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
Starting point is 00:27:06 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
Starting point is 00:27:46 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?
Starting point is 00:28:10 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?
Starting point is 00:28:33 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
Starting point is 00:29:01 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,
Starting point is 00:29:46 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?
Starting point is 00:30:02 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
Starting point is 00:30:22 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?

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

He got brought in by the people in and out. And then my other uncle. The cops brought him in there were like.

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.

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.
Starting point is 00:33:31 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
Starting point is 00:34:06 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.
Starting point is 00:34:34 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.
Starting point is 00:35:06 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,
Starting point is 00:35:25 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.
Starting point is 00:35:43 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.
Starting point is 00:35:56 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,
Starting point is 00:36:14 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,
Starting point is 00:36:43 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.
Starting point is 00:37:06 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.
Starting point is 00:37:27 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.
Starting point is 00:37:54 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
Starting point is 00:38:16 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
Starting point is 00:38:51 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.
Starting point is 00:39:34 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.
Starting point is 00:39:52 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.
Starting point is 00:40:11 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
Starting point is 00:40:46 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.
Starting point is 00:41:13 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,
Starting point is 00:41:28 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,
Starting point is 00:41:45 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.
Starting point is 00:41:58 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.
Starting point is 00:42:17 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,
Starting point is 00:42:35 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.
Starting point is 00:42:56 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.
Starting point is 00:43:25 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.
Starting point is 00:43:37 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?
Starting point is 00:43:48 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?
Starting point is 00:44:01 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?

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
Starting point is 00:44:55 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
Starting point is 00:45:25 That's like it sticks.
