Starting point is 00:04:36 What's happening? What's happening? You bad motherfuckers, it's Monday. November 16th. We're at the halfway point of the month. It's a beautiful fucking Monday to see you. Listen, last week, the podcast was what the fuck they were. You know what I'm saying? But that's what's great about Monday.
Starting point is 00:05:23 It's a whole new week with a whole new set of fucking rules. I had a great week last week. had a great weekend. I hope you guys had a great time. We're safe. You're healthy. You know, whatever the fuck is happening is going to happen. We got to push fucking forward. I had an interesting week because I told you lately that since I've been doing, since we moved, it's going to be fucking three months on Thursday since I moved. And every week, my anxiety gets a little better and better and better. Last week, Mike comes over and we're doing one of the podcasts.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And I was looking for my weed, and I found like maybe a jar with the nug. Tremendous fucking weed. But when I looked to see where the fuck the other weed was, I couldn't find my fucking weed. So I said, you know what? It's probably in one of the claws. It's around here somewhere, right? So for a few days, I'm chopping off this fucking bud. And I'm like, I still haven't found my weed yet.
Starting point is 00:06:23 I looked over here. I looked over there. I looked over here. my weed is nowhere to be found I wanted my old luggage you gotta remember I still haven't found a fucking pipe my favorite fucking pipe of all time I have not found in three fucking months
Starting point is 00:06:38 it's here trust me it's here I just haven't found all right so I can't find this fucking I got this fucking half ounce of this fucking they give this shit to like hemophiliacs and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:06:51 this is the weed they give you before you die this shit was tremendous it was like white So I put a half ounce of this away And I can't remember where the fuck it is It was like to break into emergency situations You ever see this and that shit The glass
Starting point is 00:07:06 Don't break unless emergency situation So I called my guy He goes bro your delivery's on the way But you can't make the drop off till Friday I go fucking Friday I'm not gonna fucking make it till fucking Friday So I had some weed Wednesday
Starting point is 00:07:23 I scared now you look at me going Joey What the fuck do you? doing all that wheat. I smoked it. I'm not running a weed museum. I'm here to fucking smoke refa. I'm not running fucking high times looking at buds dreaming about fucking California and I'm smoking. You know, throughout the day I smoke and I'm not, since I don't have my pipe, I got to smoke fucking joints, which kills my fucking reefer. So finally Wednesday, I call a few friends. I got one guy for sure up north. And here's the funny thing. I saw him that afternoon. And he offered me some and I said, nah, I'm going.
Starting point is 00:07:56 good. So I come home and I look around Wednesday. I can't find my fucking ounce. I call a friend of mine down here and he goes, let me make a call. The guy on my block sells some. I go, look at me, fucking looking for Jersey weed. So I call my brother.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I got a brother who's been smoking I've been smoking weed with him since I was 16. He's a professional head. Professional doesn't drink. Doesn't do pills, doesn't do coke. His whole life is dedicated to fucking reefer. So I finally broke down. and I called them up and I go hey man I'm gonna bind you got to help me can I got a couple
Starting point is 00:08:31 joints from you though my mule gets in he goes no worries come down so you go give me your address I don't know where the fuck he lives close by it's like 25 minutes I got in the fucking car I go let me eat I didn't want to be a galvan I just went to the gym and I hadn't smoked if I don't smoke I get no appetite the fucking morning believe it or not so I get the fucking I eat my lunch with my wife, a little cob salad, whatever the fuck she made. I get in the car and I hit the fucking 9 south, whatever,
Starting point is 00:09:03 and I get to his house. Jesus Christ, he takes me downstairs to the basement. He's like, pick whatever the fuck you want. He opened up a bag. It had a gorilla bag on it. It was just fucking big. He had like 10 different ounces in that. I said, I don't even need an ounce.
Starting point is 00:09:20 He goes, take whatever the fuck you want. He opened up a draw. It was just, different rolling papers. This is the type of professional this guy is. He ain't fucking around. He had fucking moon rocks. He had this, he had that. He had more shit than people in
Starting point is 00:09:33 California got. And he's a Jersey guy. So I said, listen, I don't need any of this stuff. I go, just give me a couple buds, like some reefer. I'll take moon rocks. You can sprinkle the moon rocks in your fucking joint and see the devil. Well, I
Starting point is 00:09:49 fucking get home. So I don't know how to get home. I come downstairs. I rode my first joint. I put the moon rocks in there. I get so fucking high. I come in. There's a box. The mule came a day early. It was better than me. And when I was high on the
Starting point is 00:10:05 fucking mule on the moon rocks, I said, wait a second. There's one place I didn't check. And I went and hit that place. And there was the half ounce of reef. You see what I'm saying? So if you lose something, you got to get as high as you want when you hit it to find it. That's the moral of the fucking
Starting point is 00:10:21 story. See, I was walking around all fucking straight for three days. Mikey, you fucking laugh. It's true. I even hit Mikey up and Mikey's like I got like three nugs myself. I go, what type of Christian would I be if I took your last drunk and three nugs? And I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I'm not going to take some of these last three nugs. Because I knew I had to weed in here. There's nothing worse than fucking knowing you got something and you can't find it. You know it's in the fucking house somewhere. I ran out of places where the fuck I hid stuff like that. Today we have a
Starting point is 00:10:51 Zoom. You know, I hate fucking Zoom. but you got to do them from time to time. We've got to break up the monotony. I got the beautiful and talented and fucking, she's the real deal. I got Ms. Dreia D. Mateo waiting in the background on fucking Zoom, ready to go. But I want to talk to you a little bit.
Starting point is 00:11:14 It's fucking Monday morning. I want to make sure you're up to par. Make sure you're up to fucking tip-top two conditions. You know, everybody's going through it. We don't know when it's going to have. you know, we don't know there's a vaccine. Now I've got to take a shot and put fucking ice cream. It's 100 degrees below fucking zero.
Starting point is 00:11:33 That means my arm's going to go numb for fucking two times for me to fucking beat the vaccine. And I don't. I don't like fucking needles. Trust me. I think Live Nation put a thing out that you're not going to be able to go to their concerts without a fucking card. I already got a fake card working.
Starting point is 00:11:49 You know what I'm saying? We're already working it. A fake card. I don't give a fuck all you guys. get vaccinated, I'll keep my distance. And when it's time, hopefully this fucking virus will go away. And Uncle Joe will be ready to do his fucking thing. I'm not getting no fucking ice cube shot in my arm.
Starting point is 00:12:05 I still got two shots on fucking hold, which I'm not taking. I don't like fucking needles at all. And I'm not in the mood for a new vaccine right out of the fucking top. I see what I'm going to wake up without a fucking hand. I'll wake up with the guy like from fucking enter the dragon. I got no hand. I got to put different fucking attachments on my arm. I'm not going for that one.
Starting point is 00:12:26 If you want to take the shot, be my fucking guest. Me, I'm a gentleman. I just won't go to the fuck out. I just won't go out. I'm at my business or whatever. Until they come up with a pill. But I'm not shooting ice cubes in my fucking veins. Are you fucking nuts?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Two put 21 days apart. I barely give blood. I fucking shit myself. Now I got to give you, I got to let you shoot a fucking ice cube in my fucking arm. You didn't know about it? that's like, man, they got to keep it chilled. I thought it was bleach. It's like fucking, it's like fucking going to crowd therapy,
Starting point is 00:12:57 shooting crowd therapy in you. That's what I need, right now. Two times? Two times, 21 days apart. For the shingles, it's 21 days apart. Looks like I'm getting fucking shingles, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm not going down there.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I don't give a fuck, Jack. It's funny how life, this Thursday's going to be three months since we're all gone and everything like that. I think I left a week before Rogan. I woke up yesterday morning, and I'm going through whatever, I'm playing with my daughter, and I see a YouTube clip about, did Rogan abandon his friends? What is the fucking...
Starting point is 00:13:39 What don't people just leave Joe Rogan the fuck alone? He's down there in Austin, Texas, in the capital of COVID. He ain't bothering nobody. He ain't bothered nobody. I got to tell you something. Joe has not abandoned his friends Ari went to fucking whatever Duncan is in North Carolina
Starting point is 00:13:58 I'm in Jersey you know Brian Callan's in his own fucking dilemmas which I wish him all the luck in the world whatever's going on with him Brendan Shab is in L.A. You know
Starting point is 00:14:11 Bird is in L.A. Tom Sagar is in L.A. Rogan didn't abandon his friends In fact I talked to Rogan twice a week and I gotta be honest with you guys he sounds better than fucking ever and he sounds happy than ever and I think like
Starting point is 00:14:28 I knew him when he moved to Colorado and he came back I know I've known him for 20 something years he sounds like a million fucking bucks he sounds like a guy that just got a hundred million dollars that's what he sounds like he doesn't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:14:44 he doesn't have a worry in the world you know I called him me that's a Saturday morning. We must have talked for 20 minutes. It was all laughter. And I got to tell you, I think he got over it also. We all got that stink off us, the L.A. stink. And we're seeing the other side of the fucking mountain now.
Starting point is 00:15:02 So it's kind of fucking nice. Nobody's suffering. Nobody's avoiding anybody. Red band is moving. Tony Hinchcliff is moving. I'm sure I'll be down there at some time to do a fucking podcast in the new year. Once the numbers clear up or whatever, I know he did a show last week with Ron White and Tony Hinchcliffe.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Ron White is enthused. Listen, man, for some guys, this is just a breather. We're not going. Listen, yeah, it broke my heart a little bit. You know, we can't do stand-up every night, but I do know what. It's coming back. Everything's going to come back in time. And in a different style, we're going to have life is going to be a little different.
Starting point is 00:15:43 It's going to be different for musicians. It's going to be different for artists. It's going to be different for plumbers. It's going to be different for customers. going to be different for customer service people. We're just going to have to fucking work around it. You know, they're saying the vaccine will be out the end of November. God bless you.
Starting point is 00:15:57 As they say, good luck to everybody. I don't know what's going to happen, but you got to keep your chin up. But to be honest, you're Rogan never abandon his friends. We just moved away and we're all doing our own things. And we're all looking into the future and seeing what the fuck my next move is. I'm still a fucking, I'm more of a stand up now than I ever was. I will be at Uncle Vinny's Wednesday night. And fucking next Wednesday night, the night before Thanksgiving,
Starting point is 00:16:25 and I just picked up three dates in December. I'm still doing stand-up. I'm just not going to tour. I'm not really in the mood to get on any fucking planes right now. That's it. But besides that, I'm still a fucking stand-up. I'm just taking a breather. I'm just living life.
Starting point is 00:16:42 I'm trying to gain more material, better material, to come back and spanky motherfuckers with you know what I'm saying? I mean, I can come on here and be fucking soggy bitch and tell you about all the bad things that are going on in the world, but you don't want to hear them. You know about them. All you can worry about is what the fuck you're doing. That's it.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I'm fucking happy right now. I haven't been this happy in a long time. Yeah, I miss stand up. I miss some airports. I know my wife would like to see me get the fuck out of here from time to time. But, hey, this is the time. This is what we're doing right now. we're just collecting ourselves
Starting point is 00:17:18 becoming a little better I'm hitting the gym three times a week now I'm lifting weights I wasn't lifting weights three fucking times a week I'm lifting weights and I found the jih Tzu place that does like fucking old man Jiu Jitsu so I'm kind of excited about
Starting point is 00:17:34 that it's gonna be a great winter whatever the fuck they do if they shut us back down what do you're going to do cry I feel bad for my daughter but I already have a backup plan set up we got a list of parents And now you'll be prepared. So don't worry about the lockdown.
Starting point is 00:17:49 You know, the numbers are getting out of proportion in some states. They exceeded a million in fucking in Texas. God knows that California is doing. God knows of Florida doing. But if you're watching this, you're alive. And maybe you had COVID, and maybe you got rid of it, and maybe it's pussy shit, and maybe it's just bullshit. Whatever the fuck it is, I don't have the answers to your problems.
Starting point is 00:18:12 All I know is that we're here. It's Monday. and we got to be the best that we can motherfucking be. You know, again, you know, we're so bored, we're still living in the fucking past. I see the sweet people are taking digs
Starting point is 00:18:26 at DeLea and whatever. Listen, that was six fucking months ago. Let it go. If they're having arrested fucking Brian Callan, then I don't know what to tell you, and nobody's arresting Chris DeLeer. So put it behind you. Let's let these guys move on, heal,
Starting point is 00:18:44 and take care of. whatever problems they have but kicking them when they're down ain't gonna solve them right now i mean uh we're we're comics we're brotherhood how dare us kick each other when we're fucking down like i said a couple weeks ago we're turning into those fucking jews during the holocaust turning on our own people can't turn on your own people this is the time for us to get closer and unite it's uh really funny i talked to a friend of mine the other day from l-a i just called them to check in no names and we were We're talking about jiu-jitsu and whatnot and how his school has cut it down to maybe a 30-person core. They haven't taken any new students, but they all hang out amongst themselves, and it's made them stronger.
Starting point is 00:19:30 He thought that this fucking lockdown would break him apart and whatever. He goes, no, it's made us 30 people stronger. We hang out with each other. We smoke pot with each other. We play music and hang out with each other. We do outdoor activities with each other and we're just with each other. So we make sure that none of us can get it because we're just with each other. So it's a great way of looking at it.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I was kind of fucking happy. You know, I talked to three or four people at Jitsu-owned schools. Nobody has gotten sick. So maybe exercise is the fucking key. I go to a gym. They keep the doors open. There's never more than six people in there. I wear a face mask.
Starting point is 00:20:14 but towards the end of the gym, a workout sometimes. I take the face mask off to drink water, go to the back door, get some fucking air. You know what, knock on wood, I'm still fucking good. I'm not in big groups of people. I'm in little groups of people. I hang out. Sundays, I go to Jimmy Florentines.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I watch a little football. I get high with the boys. I sit by the back door. We get it nice and ventilated. So all I can do is tell you is to fucking take care of yourself. take your vitamins, write, write your goals. I got an itchy fucking nose. Maybe I'm gonna get $20.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Something always means something. You're like, oh, my palm fucking itches. I'm gonna find $5.00. My nose is just. Maybe I'll get COVID on my dick. Who the fuck knows? Anyway, listen, without further ado, is the Zoom interview we did last week
Starting point is 00:21:07 with my girl Drea DiMeteo. I'm a fan of hers. She went from the Sopranos. working with David Chase over the Sons of Anarchy, did a couple seasons of Sons of Anarchy, working up against Jack Hoonan, aka Jack Stella. She did a couple of years stint on Joey.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I mean, this girl had a great acting career, and she's still not fucking done yet. She's great, she's funny. We met through A.J. Soprano, and I love it at that. I hope you enjoy the interview. Uncle Joey's. Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint.
Starting point is 00:21:47 We've got the beautiful, the savage, D'Amato, a legend. I love her. I have watched everything you're in from the Sopranos to Joey to Sons of Anarchy. And I got to tell you, you hit the jackpot. You had, you were just tremendous. You were tremendous. Thanks, Joey. You had Jackson.
Starting point is 00:22:12 They call me Uncle Dre. I know people call you Uncle Joey, right? Right. They call me freaking Uncle Dre. Why is that? I don't know, because I'm a filthy savage. You said savage. What was I said?
Starting point is 00:22:30 Did you ever go to an acting class? You're right. You went to an acting college? I didn't start out with it. I mean, I grew up with my mom who's a writer. She was a playwright, and she taught writing for years at HB Studio. So I used to have to sit in her writing classes because I didn't have a babysitter on certain days. And I had to listen to her teach writing.
Starting point is 00:22:52 So I learned how to act listening to her teach the writers because it's kind of the same thing. You know, you want to keep everything moving, keep everything active kind of thing. But then I went to NYU Film School because I hated theater because I grew up in it. So I did the fuck you anti-theater and went to film school. never to act. But then later on, years later, when I, when I stopped being so freaking shy, I took an acting class. I took a couple. I learned how to act on the Sopranos. Yeah, the Sopranos was my acting class. That was some acting class. That was my acting class. That was my acting class. That was a hell of an acting class, my friend. And that was, that's acting 101 right there.
Starting point is 00:23:41 You were with the best. It's true. If I could. close my eyes, I think you're Vinny, Pestor. That's crazy, isn't it? I don't even have to close my eyes. We just met recently. We met about four years ago at a movie premiere, and we didn't even say nothing to each other. We just hugged each other. Like, there was nothing to say it.
Starting point is 00:24:01 We've been hearing about each other for years, you know? Well, that's how it is between us, you know, us weirdos in this business. Do you still see him at all? Um, I have, I saw Vinny last year. We, we, we gave an award at the MTV Awards. Okay And when we were trying to get him to do our podcast, the gangster goddess broadcast podcast, it was hard to get in touch with him.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And I was like, you know what? Fuck this guy. I'm bringing Joey Diaz on. And I'm going to say, this is big fucking pussy. Because if I can't get in touch with this brick, I'm fucking just going to do that. And that's it. Why don't know he teaches an acting class, doesn't he?
Starting point is 00:24:48 I don't know. I think he does. Yes. Yes, Monday nights, he used to. When I came here a year ago, he was teaching an acting class with Silvio's wife. Oh, really? With Maureenis. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yes, on Monday nights. And I was tempted to go. I was in town a few weeks. I would have paid the dropping just to, you know, sit in there. But I didn't get all the information. They never got to me in time. Oh, he's awesome. But yeah, he's supposed to come on our show.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Now he finally, we finally got in touch with each other. But now we're taking a hiatus. So I'm on your show instead. That's it. This is why I love you. Now, the Sopranos ended. You went to Joey. That lasted a couple weeks.
Starting point is 00:25:42 And then how did you stumble on Sons of Anarchy? It's funny. I was just telling that story. Joey was a couple of years. I didn't really want to do Joey because I was, I didn't want to be typecast back then. I was real, you know, precious about being an actor instead of just being an actor who's actually good at talking like this for a living. I was good at doing that, you know? But Joey dissolved pretty quickly, even though back then we had millions of viewers.
Starting point is 00:26:15 But because friends had 17 million viewers, we had 14 million viewers. That was low. Today, if you had 14 million viewers, forget about it. Yeah, that's a kick-ass show. But yeah, we were, we had such high expectations, me coming from Sopranos, him coming from friends, that nothing was measuring up. But we definitely partied hard and had a fucking fantastic time. Um, Sons of Anarchy was because of John Linson.
Starting point is 00:26:48 He's a producer. His dad is Art Linson. And they brought the idea to FX. And with the idea, I was just playing a tiny cameo who dies in the pilot. That was it. And I was like, yeah, of course I'll do that, but it'll be fun. I'll, you know, I'll die. I'll OD while I'm pregnant.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Why not? That sounds freaking awesome. And then they asked me if I would stay. once I said I would do the pilot. And then John and Art Linson were no longer a part of the project. And I ended up staying a little bit. But then I walked out because FX wanted to cut my pay in half. And I was like, you can't offer me one, you know, pay me one thing.
Starting point is 00:27:30 And then a couple of weeks later telling me so we want to cut your pay in half. So I declined and went into Desperate Housewives instead. And then I became a fan of the show. and I called Kurt and I was like, dude, I'll come back for nothing. Let's just do it. Really? Yeah. That's tremendous.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Yeah, it was just fun. And you were there until the end. You wrote out the stunt with Jimmy Smith's, another killer that you were around. Yeah. Yeah, in the end, in the end, they had to pay me, though, because I, you know, I was never available. when they wanted me for, because I came in and out a lot on the show. But in the end, they were like, we need to nail you down as a series regular for the final season. I was like, are you kidding?
Starting point is 00:28:21 They're like, yeah, because you've never in one city. As long as I know that you're going to be here in L.A., we'll just have to nail you down. I was like, well, then, okay, then you got to really pay me this time. So. And they hooked you up, and you made history again. What a great finale for that. what a great finale to the Sopranos. I mean, just two iconic shows, man.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Yeah, it was pretty cool. Dead and then alive. I survived in the end. When you look back, your head must explode. My head is exploding now in this freaking quarantine and not having worked for a year. I wasn't working purposely for a year before it, thinking I would definitely work.
Starting point is 00:29:10 the year after and now we got stuck in this and I haven't worked in a while so I'm feeling it right now And you have children? Yeah, I'm a single mom and I take care of it all by myself So it's you know I work I just I only work when I know I have to pay for stuff You know so I haven't worked in a while and now I need to pay for stuff So I'm fucked well hopefully you'll land something I don't know, not in this climate. You know, they're shooting, but it's tough to shoot, Trey. I know.
Starting point is 00:29:49 It's really tough to shoot. I shot those last three days on the prequel of the Sopranos. It must have cost them an arm and a leg. We each had a driver. We each had a floor on a hotel. You know, there was nurses everywhere. COVID test. You know, to do it the right way in this climate,
Starting point is 00:30:11 It's just unless you do it like Tyler Perry. I know. And you stay there for eight weeks. What a good set of me. Yeah, you're away from your family. Well, that's all the jobs that are coming my way right now. I'd have to quarantine in Canada for seven months. And my kids go with me everywhere.
Starting point is 00:30:32 And they're like, we really don't want to do that. And they won't be able to see their dad for months because he can't visit. You know, everybody's got to be sequestered like that. that and I can't I can't do it so I'm kind of fucked right now yeah somebody just reached out about a show in Wilmington North Carolina for December and I'm like it's not going to happen yeah it's just not going to I don't see it in the wintertime no you know I see and then I got to have a hassle coming back and I got a seven-year-old Drea I can't believe you about seven years I was day I was with my wife for 13 years, nothing happened. We had cats. We had like eight cats. And one day I came
Starting point is 00:31:14 home and she was pregnant. Wait, how old is she? Please tell me she's 50. She's 50 right now. Oh, okay. So she was, she was 43. She was 43 because I keep hoping I'm going to get pregnant by some miracle of 48. Oh, that's tough. That's tough. If you Google it, you have a heart attack. Oh, I know. Unless you have, like, nurses like Janet Jackson and they blow smoking your pussy and shit like that. It's not going to work out for it. Oh, my God. My grandmother had my father when she was 51.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Wow. You know us Italians over here. Yeah, yeah. I know. I know. I know. My friend's dad had him when he was 74. But not the mom.
Starting point is 00:32:09 No, the mom was like 48 or something. Okay, well, there's hope for me still. There's hope for you. There's hope. How many more do you want? How many more kids do you want? I would take one more. But after this frigging quarantine with the kids locked down like this, maybe I'm exaggerating.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Maybe I'll take a dog or a cat. This quarantine has been tough on the kids. and it's tough to find things to do with them. You have a boy or girl? I have a little girl, man. And when they told me that they were not opening up to schools, I looked at my wife and I said, we're out of here. So you were in L.A.
Starting point is 00:32:50 And you left L.A. to go back to Jersey? After 23 years. Because of the, because, I mean, why didn't you want to be? See, I'm in a situation where I might have to move right now, but I'm thinking that being in L.A. is a blessing. and I always want to go back east. But I feel like being in this COVID thing, it's way, way, way better being out here
Starting point is 00:33:13 because you could be outside, it's warm, it's, you know what I mean? No? Why do you have to move? Because I don't know if I could keep this fancy place without working. I see what you're saying. All right, so. I keep getting frigging notifications about foreclosure. at this point.
Starting point is 00:33:35 No. Oh, yeah. Because we were a part of the forbearance thing, and we can't even get in touch with the mortgage company. And they keep sending us certified letters, but nobody answers the phone. They keep saying, we're trying to reach you, but nobody calls me, and nobody answers the phone.
Starting point is 00:33:55 And it's a, I'm in a mess. Like, it's not even because I'm not paying, a lot of the money is just not even being applied. So we're kind of in a crazy. I've been in this house for 17 years, but I always lived in New York anyway. I lived in my apartment that burned down in the East Village. I never raised to stay out here. But I was happy for the first time in this pandemic that I was in this house.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I was like, thank God. No, as soon as they said no school, I knew I was out of that. I had done my time. Why would you want to be injured? You know why? Because if it goes down, I'm close to my family. Oh, okay. I'm close to my friends.
Starting point is 00:34:35 What am I going to depend on my Hollywood friends to come save me? Nope. Nope. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I would come save you and get you out of there with the kids if I was there. But a lot of people don't think that way, right? No, no, no, no. When you're out in L.A. So I didn't want any problems. I had a little girl. I already bought a gun off the street. And I was like, you know, I don't need this in my life at 57.
Starting point is 00:35:02 No. I'm up in Studio City. They robbed in catalytic converters. They were having parades around the block from my house. There was homeless people everywhere. It was the end anyway. Yeah. So for me, it felt like the end.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I feel you. Yeah, it was a mess down there. I wanted my daughter to grow up on the East Coast. I wanted her to have that East Coast toughness to her. I didn't want her to grow up allergic to peanuts and shit. And, you know, that's not going to fucking happen. Don't you hate that shit? I fucking, all that shit drives me crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:40 I mean, look, I'm a crunchy hippie myself. But after a, I'm also an Italian from Queens. You know what I mean? Like, there's got to be a balance to this shit. There's a balance. I'm a hippie, too. I lived in Boulder for 12 years. Oh, you lived in fucking Boulder.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I love Buddhism. I went to the Europa Institute, you know. But no, fuck you and you're fucking. peanuts. Fuck you and your fucking hummus. I don't need hummus either. You know, no, no, no, no. My kids are like, give me fucking grilled cheese, string cheese, waffles, mac and cheese. Anything that's got cheese in it, put it in front of my mouth. Hummus.
Starting point is 00:36:20 My kids would throw hummus at my face if I tried to give it to them. Oh my God. It's so terrible that stuff. So here there's no hummus. The only problem here is everybody's got pizza. Everybody's house you go to. So I got to do my weight watches here. I got to do jumping jacks. I got to ride a bike. Because every day somebody shows up with something.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I haven't even bought entomans yet. Oh, yeah. You get the banana crunch pie. No, no. I'm telling you, if I start, I won't stop. So I can't even do it. I'm scared of the holidays. I go to the gym three times a week.
Starting point is 00:37:00 I ride my bike. I do as much as I can. can do because I know this is fat man bill you blow up here so I've lost weight since I've been back so I'm good those the gyms are open there yes can you believe that no everything I'm no my friends were partying in Williamsburg last night in the park I was like what is going on I am isolated my daughter goes to school four days a week gee oh so she's in yes the Catholic schools are going to school five days a week of them just just a half hour from here.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Wow. We're shut all the way down, man. No shit. At least here I do comedy, like I told you last night. I know. 25%, 38 people at Vinnie's Comedy Club, but it works. My friends went to SNL last night to see Dave Chappelle. I was like, what do you mean you went to SNL?
Starting point is 00:37:54 Isn't it shut down? Well, they have like a limited audience, you know, maybe like eight people in there. Yeah, they're, trying to keep a little normal here, but the sad truth is they're probably going to end up shutting it down. You think so? I'm flying in Friday. Yeah, yeah, they're probably going to shut it down. So get ready. Why, are numbers rising again? Yes. Yes. They're going up here. Yes. Here they are. And we have to get tested tomorrow and then show that to the National Guard when we land in New York to get let
Starting point is 00:38:32 in from the airport. Yes. That's crazy. How long are you going to be in New York for? I'm supposed to be there until December 1st. Okay. Yeah, I haven't seen my mom. I haven't seen my family.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I haven't seen anybody. And I want to see if I want to move back east. Okay. Well, you know, you got help here. I got your back. If you need something, you know that. I don't know where the hell I would live. I only want to be in Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:39:02 that's what I'm used to. Well, you know what? Because you have the kids, you might have to make exceptions. You might have to go up to Connecticut, maybe New Jersey, maybe Staten Island. No, don't say Staten Island. Yeah, you got to go back to your roots. Take your kids back to your roots. I wish I still have my house in Queens.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I would move right into that. Yeah. Queens is a great neighborhood. You know, I don't know what's going on in your neighborhood now, no. That's the thing. they're saying different things about New York City. Or maybe go back to Long Island, go out to the island. It's nice up there.
Starting point is 00:39:38 I only know Queens. That's it. And then we have a house out at the beach. Those beach houses are a big deal right now. How about North Carolina? Hell no. They got where my friend Duncan lives. They got a little hippie community.
Starting point is 00:39:56 You mean like Asheville? I would get down with Nashville. Yes. Yes, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. We're looking in that. Nashville. Nashville, too. But you're going to move a lot. You're going to be around the 200 same people you're around now when you go to Nashville. It's half of California now. It is, I know. I've heard. My wife is from Nashville. I could have walked you two hours out of Nashville. I could have gone to Tennessee. It's a town called Bradford.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Okay, I don't know that. No, nobody fucking knows. That's what they put witness relocation people. They put them out of it. They put them out of it. there. There ain't nothing out there. It's like even past Jackson. It's out there. I like it. I like it in Nashville though. I mean not in the town town but I like it like you know a little bit on the outskirts is cool. Outskirts will be cool for you that'll work for you. Where else do you like that's about it. I would do Nashville and I wouldn't think about laying down roots. I would go for a year or two unless I'm on a farm area then maybe I'll stay. you know if I have some land
Starting point is 00:41:04 but I just want to get back all the way home, back to New York. All right, we'll come back to New York, we'll open up a medical marijuana store in Jersey. Yes! And we'll make a million fucking dollars. Wait, how do you... How do you deal with the weed situation there? There's no weed?
Starting point is 00:41:21 Oh, yes, there's weed. No, but there's no, but it's not legal, right? Like here. No, it's not, but it's legal wherever I'm standing. So what do you? They've got to bring you a dime bag every fucking... No, wherever I'm... Wherever I'm standing, weed is legal. Don't worry about nothing.
Starting point is 00:41:37 I got that covered. Home deliveries. That used to be the jam, the home delivery. They got home deliveries in New York. They ain't got no home deliveries where I live here. I got to do my own stuff here. But I'm all right. I got the California weed.
Starting point is 00:41:51 I'm still smoking at 30%. I got edibles. I got teas. I got sprays. I got mints. I'm a man of many mysteries. There's this company that sent us a weed box. That was the coolest fucking box of weed ever.
Starting point is 00:42:07 All of the canisters. What the hell is it called? The runoff of the water is from Mount Shasta. Do you know this company? No. Oh, man, it's going to drive me crazy. Now I need to look. Are you drinking your pot right now?
Starting point is 00:42:29 No, to be honest I thought I had waters down here I got no waters All I had when the refrigerator was Estella Oh, poor you So I drank Estella I don't even drink I'm drinking out of respect for you
Starting point is 00:42:42 So you don't drink a glass of red wine alone You know what I'm saying? I'm drinking water over here I've been working all day All right I've been drinking enough water I went I went to get a water
Starting point is 00:42:56 But like I said I had no waters down here So I just took a beer I said, how am I going to talk to the princess without a cocktail in my hand? I want to find you this company. This company is crazy. They need to send you something. Oh, what is the fucking name of it?
Starting point is 00:43:14 I mean, they send you like this lighter, this gold lighter that, you know, like heats up and the thing. And then three different crazy weeds with the grinder, but it's all like really beautiful. The way they send that box of weed is... How good was the weed, though? You know, I don't really smoke it anymore because... But everybody else does around me, so there were other people here that were smoking the weed. No edibles, no more, nothing? The edibles are...
Starting point is 00:43:50 No, I was always a joint smoker, joints and bongs. That was my thing. I liked... When I was a kid, I would have... permanent cold sores going in a circle around my face from passing that fucking bond around. It was disgusting. I was a disgrace, a disgrace with the circle around my face. I was a really crazy pot smoker and then I stopped when I had my kids because I was getting I was one of those people that it attacked. It attacked me. My best friend attacked me.
Starting point is 00:44:25 You know what I mean? When you just start getting that paranoid, crazy. But that's not true. No, yes, it was when I had my kids. Because when I was doing Joey, we were smoking tons of weed. No more. Nothing. I miss it. I love the way it smells. Anybody who's smoking weed around me, I'm like, but yeah, this great company sent me this weed, and I can't think of the damn name of it. And I feel terrible because they would probably be so happy that I shouted them out on your show. Well, do you have anything there? Nothing hidden? I got this box. Wait a second. I got this box. One minute. Hold on. There you go. I knew she had something. You know the deal. Guys, you always save your stuff. I'm happy you guys are enjoying this here on Uncle Joey joint with my girl Dreo de Mateo. She's the real deal.
Starting point is 00:45:19 It comes in this box. Oh, it's called a Golden State. There you go. Give them a shout out. Golden State. Golden State. And it comes in this box. And it comes in a box. in this box and it says highest quality flower grown from Shasta snow melt for recreation and relaxation. I have not, but the way they send it in this box, that shit was straight up sexy. Well, it's very nice. I got a couple boxes sent to me and they even send like lenses to you. Look at this. One company, who is this? This is. I can't see without my glasses. This is Source, and they sent me one of these things, like a diamond dude.
Starting point is 00:46:06 You know what I'm saying? Oh, Luke Glenn. What do you do with that? So you can look at your hairs on your weed? I can look at my ball hairs with this stuff. I can't fucking see them. They give me this little thing. Like, what am I going to do with this little thing?
Starting point is 00:46:20 But it's cute. It's part of the box, and I kept it as a souvenir. So I was shot out one of my favorite weed company, Source. so we both get to shoot somebody out. See what I'm saying? Look at this. We just did freaking weed commercials on your show. I forgot that we were doing a podcast over here.
Starting point is 00:46:40 That's all right. We're family, man. I'm happy you made time for me tonight. I know you're busy. I know you're a parent. You got the kids. I want to interview you. Well, when do you want to do that?
Starting point is 00:46:52 No, I want to do it right now on your show. I want to know about the fucking many saints of Newark, but I know you're not. not allowed to talk about any of it. You talk about what? I want to know about the many Saints of Newark and how your experience was, but I know you're not allowed
Starting point is 00:47:08 to talk about the show. But can you at least tell me how your experience was? Okay, I'll tell you the truth. My experience from A to Z was tremendous. I went on there as a comedian, actor kind,
Starting point is 00:47:26 and the first day I thought I was being cute and David Chase sent the word to me you know like just stick to the lines oh yeah and I finally and I stuck to the lines I did what I was supposed to do and the second day I learned so much because it was one of those scenes of David Chase where something happens and then there's a gap of air and you're supposed to laugh at that gap of there and I finally saw how he did that. Once I saw his magic, I stopped everything I was doing
Starting point is 00:48:07 and I did everything the way he wanted, done. Interesting. I love that story. So I went out there as a comedian, but I learned from him because you know how twisted his mind is. Yeah. And he's the master of dark comedy without even doing it. You know, I enjoyed every single minute of it, the 12-hour days.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I did not complain one time. One time they unwrapped me. I smoked a joint. I walked to the corner. I got an Uber, and they came back and told me how to get back wrapped. And usually I would say something. I didn't even say nothing. I told, I went back in there, and I said that I was unprofessional for being high.
Starting point is 00:48:55 and we laughed our asses off at four in the morning, you know. I love it. I loved David. I loved his wife. It was just great for me. If I don't act again, I'm good. That's exactly what I said after the Sopranos. If I don't act again, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I'm Cuban. I'm from northern New Jersey. It made my year. And that's it. That's how I feel right now. I don't act again. And I got to work with Alan King. So he did like three of the episodes, and he was great.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Wait, three of the episodes, it wasn't Alan Taylor? Alan Taylor. I'm sorry, Alan King. What was I thinking? Alan Taylor. But he, he did, but it's one movie, no? Or is it a series? Right.
Starting point is 00:49:52 No, he did three episodes with you guys. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he did our... I don't know how many he did. I think he did a couple. I don't know. I'm just saying three.
Starting point is 00:50:03 But I got to work with him and he was great. Everybody was great. Did you work with Ray? Yes. That's my boy. Yes. Yes. Oh, Ray.
Starting point is 00:50:17 You guys got him right after we got through with him. Yeah, he was great. And he wanted to work with David so badly. I mean, because he loved the Sopranos. So he was pumped to be doing that. It was a real pleasure and an honor. I loved John. I loved everybody on the set.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Alessandro, I thought everybody was great. I'm excited to see the finished product. How was Little Michael? Little Michael was phenomenal. Yes. What a sweetheart of a kid. Oh, good. I just found the picture of him today in my phone.
Starting point is 00:50:54 took a picture on the and I compared it to the first time we took a picture and he grew so much but he looked great. Wow. He was a sweet kid. I got to talk to him a lot. Like I said, it was just it was just a great experience. Oh, I'm so excited to see it. I can't wait till it comes down. Me neither. Me neither. And I wish, I don't even know what the movie's about. I barely remember my scenes now. you know it's like it was i was such in it yeah i got to stop smoke and plus the the anxiety from the from the pandemic my my memory is gone you know i know so but i had such a great it was a great experience and you know i got hired to do the sopranos right i got hired and fired yeah to play big pussy his brother no remember in the auto
Starting point is 00:51:51 body shot. Were you on it? No, I didn't shoot it. I got fired before I could do it. Why were you? Why? Because Georgine said that I told somebody I was shooting it and it was against the Privacy Act of 1964 or something. Oh my God. They were that fucking precious about even just showing up to play a small part. Yeah. Well, when they called me, they said they said they think it was going to be like two
Starting point is 00:52:20 episodes. They didn't really know. They were trying to look for the right person or whatever. I was shooting Spider-Man too. And I went home and had to put the audition on tape. It was like one of those auditions. I had to put on tape in L.A. and I sent it. But I had read
Starting point is 00:52:37 for the first, I think the second season. She saw me doing comedy in New York. And she made me come in to read for Gigi. Bacala. Yeah. I mean, I read for everybody.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I went to producers a couple of times in the beginning. Yeah. I did not know. Yeah, my hands were shaking in the beginning when I went. I had to walk over that bridge. It was hot out. I had my little mafia suit on. I had a walk over to Brooklyn Bridge.
Starting point is 00:53:09 It was like 90 degrees out with humidity. I could do this. I walked over the bridge. So yeah, my experience. And then, you know, you look at your experiences when people say no to you. in acting or anything else. And I remember one day I was getting ready in the morning to shoot the prequel,
Starting point is 00:53:27 the many saints. And I was like, how lucky I was I that I got fired? And now I'm shooting this. It's meant to be. It's meant to be. So you see how life works as an actor. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Sometimes a no is better than a yes because you got it later on, you know? Totally. That's a really good stroke of luck with that one. They never even had a Big Pussy
Starting point is 00:53:54 never had a brother on the show. Did he end up having a character? He did? Yeah, he was played his brother. Some guy came in
Starting point is 00:54:01 for a day and he had a scene with a Phil Liotto. Oh, so later on after he died? Yeah, yeah, it was later on after he died. I see, I see.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Wow. That's awesome. I'm so happy you're on it. Do you have a lot of, are you in it a lot? You can't say. You can't say.
Starting point is 00:54:26 I love it. You had a sign an NDA. Yeah. And I had it just, you know, the whole thing. I just decided that I wanted to do this. Everything I did, Drea, there was always a glitch. When I did Spider-Man 2, I busted, what's his name is, Balls. I mean, he loved me to death.
Starting point is 00:54:46 But like I would smoke pot in the green room. Was it Sam Ramey? Who was it? Sam Ramey. Sam Ramey. So I would come in the morning, and Sam would tell me I was too big for the train. He's like, Joey, you're too big to be on the train. Go to your room. So I would go to my room, and I would smoke pot. And then I would go to Sam and say, Sam, I got to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:55:08 And he'd go, what? I go, somebody smoked a pot in my trailer. You better knock it off because you don't have a Christian. I would bring his balls every day. You know, I'm the longest shot. to act like an animal, you know, I was acting like an animal. So everything I did, I never really respected it like an actor. The many saints in Newark was the first time I went in there.
Starting point is 00:55:31 And I said, if I do this, I'm doing this 150%. I'm going to be a gentleman. I'm going to act right. I'm not going to complain about the hours. I'm not going to say anything. I'm just going to fucking do it. And that's exactly what I did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Working with David Chase will inspire. that because he is he's the godfather man it's like i said if i don't work again i could give a french this fuck yeah i felt that way yeah you know i got to work with him i got to work with ramy who cracked me up i just bumped into him about a year ago at a pitch and we hugged each other and he told me he goes i heard you talking about me on all those podcasts so you know it was great working with Adam. It was great working. You know, I had a great, listen, I'm on the ex-con that got in trouble. Yeah, then I got into comedy. So for me, this is like a cherry on the Sunday, you know. So what happened with the last podcast? You dissolved that one, right? It was eight years,
Starting point is 00:56:40 and I felt that we had done our run with it. And it was time. to move on you know you want to walk out of a room like the sopranos I didn't want to walk out of the room 15 years out with no ratings do you know I'm saying uh-huh I had done a podcast two years before that and now I had done a podcast for eight years my co-host was great I loved him to death but it was just time to do something different you know so you weren't alone yes No, no, no, he started with me also. But the problem was that I couldn't move him here for two days a week.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Right, right, right. You know, I was taking too much of his life for two days a week. He's 32 years old. He doesn't have a family, you know, and he was basically in L.A. to work with me. You know, he was doing a little stand-up and stuff, but that was it. He's got a family. I didn't want to leave him in L.A. by himself, but it didn't justify bringing them down here and moving them all the way down here
Starting point is 00:57:54 for two days a week. So how do you like doing it by yourself? It's been great. Mike is great. I love doing it. You know, it's just getting the chops and being emotionally prepared. And I got to tell you something. Lately, I don't feel emotionally prepared.
Starting point is 00:58:13 You know, I'm happy. Everything's great. but I think it's my, I think my mind is in mourning because I lost stand-up. And especially after we lost, you know, I was at the comedy store three nights a week, sold out with Bill Byrd, Joe Rogan, you know, Ali Wong, Whitney Cummings, Theo Vaughn, Mazja Brownie. I'm down there with all these stars. Oh, awesome.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Ron White. And then all of a sudden, it gets pulled from us. I know. Yes, the financial ramifications is one thing. I understand that. And I took that like a man. I don't think my mind and my heart could take, you know, not going to the store anymore.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Yeah. You know, not, yeah, I don't miss L.A., but my soul misses something. So I'm in Jersey. I'm around good people. My daughter's happy. My wife is happy. I think by doing stand up once a week and staying sharp,
Starting point is 00:59:17 in time, I'll fall in love with it again, little by little. Like, I didn't do it Wednesday night, and I really missed it. I was doing it every Wednesday, and I didn't do it one Wednesday, and I really missed it. That's why I went back down there last night. Did they open any of the spots in New York? No, everything's closed in New York. They are still closed. There's a couple spots that are doing illegal shows.
