You got a second chance of being a fucking savage. What's happened, you bad motherfuckers? It's Monday. The 8th of March was a great weekend I'm happy you're here The fights were great I mean it was fucking I couldn't ask for a better weekend

My knees feeling a lot better I uh Last week was weird Because I worked so hard over the weekend The gym and then PT on Monday and Wednesday And podcast and all this shit Fucking Thursday and Friday I mean Thursday I worked out

But Friday I was fucking dead the week caught up with me And then sadly I didn't do much Sunday I didn't do much Sunday I didn't do much I watched the honeymooners at the girls and fucking, but the good news is I'm off the pain pills a week now. It's official. We made it through with no addictions.

I gave the pills to my wife just in case to hold. There's tons of them left. I'm happy to get over that. The knee still. Today's a two-year anniversary of the fucking surgery. So we made it over the fucking hump. My leg hasn't fallen off. Every day I'm walking.

I think my knees only just detached. I'm going to look down and see my knee. fucking leg from the knee down just sitting there I swear to God I get the weirdest fucking things but I'm all right we made it I'm happy I did it and we're here for another fun-filled week on the fucking podcast I went back to Zoom today had such a great time last week on Zoom seeing Doug on Zoom and I saw that you guys enjoyed it listen I never liked the one man and I hope this doesn't go wrong with anybody what I'm saying this I love Bill Burr

I'm a I'm a big fan of Bill Burr's always have been always will be I always start doing the I always thought doing the one man thing was overwhelming me being by myself but I had to work through it

during the COVID if not I would just be a fucking dead mute so I figured that's the best way to do it and I would do it with Zoom I think with Zoom at times the love gets lost like if you're not if you don't have a stable

relationship with that person you can't see it through Zoom but I've been wrong before I really enjoyed the stand-ho podcast personally as a as a human being I enjoyed it I enjoyed watching it the feel of it I guess it's what it's going to be from now on for a while until we could have guests in here you know I live an hour from the city so not a lot of people are going to be voluntarily raising their fucking hand to come down here so my plan was always to get an office up north and have guests. That was always the plan.

But with the COVID and shit like that, it's too rough. I saw it on people's faces in L.A. It's rough. You know, thank God we had the door and thank God it was faced to the outside. The office was in the building. You know, that made it a lot easier to get guests.

But during this now, it's hard to inflict. It's hard to, can you imagine if you bring a guest in and he gets sick and he gets sick? brings it home and gets his family sick. A couple people got sick from doing podcasts. They got together like big bunches and they got sick from podcasts. And that's why I'm against it. But once, fucking, I don't, I don't, I don't want you guys to think I'm doing the podcast solo

because I think I'm not fucking interesting. I'm the man's most interesting. The world's most interesting man. No, no, no. It's not based on ego or anything. That's why whenever I saw somebody doing an hour podcast or two by themselves, I'm like, fuck it takes a lot to think that people want to hear you for fucking two hours but there's no stand-up comedy now so it's like fucking stealing it's like just doing two hours of stand-up comedy here

but at the end of the week it's three months it's just seeing my fucking ugly face every fucking monday and wednesday so you got to get somebody else in here so today we went over to zoom and we had a nice intimate chat with our brother uh dean delray we talked about i saw that he uh tweeted the rhino records on saturday about black Black Sabbath, Rhino Records is having like a March Madness, like a March heavy metal madness month or something like that, it's called. So they sent me some great albums. They sent me, they were the ones that sent me Volume 4,

and they sent me Heaven and Hell and the Mob Rules by Black Sabbath, all James Dio albums. They haven't released Humanizer yet, but they did release Mob Rules, re-release. so they sent them to the house and when I saw that Dean retweeted I called them right up and I go you're not got to believe this

Ryan all sent me those two and you know I listened to heaven and hell and I listened to the mob rules both nights this week like I was telling Dean during the podcast you guys will hear that my wife goes to bed early some nights she's fucking tired

my wife is over here cleaning a house taking care of me and taking care of my fucking daughter she's tired so instead of just sitting there and watching TV during this penit I figured out that I would just bring a notebook at night, come back here. I sit back here, just like I'm doing a podcast. I put my feet up and I put an album on.

I listened to Heaven and Hell, and it was just tremendous. And then the mob rules, I forgot that Dean had always said to me that his favorite song was the sign of the Southern Cross. I listened to that and I was like, Jesus fucking Christ, I forgot how great those albums were. And this is all part of the comedy catch up that, you know, you know, you know, you know, Like I was telling Dean, you guys will see. I put so much of myself into comedy that I lost touch with music. And then over the years with the podcast, once I got reconnected with music, that's what cleared my mind a little bit and that's what got me back here.

So anyway, instead of me talking any more shit, I want to present Dean Dahlred to you. All right. That's it and that's that. I hope you fucking enjoy it. I'll be back afterward to check in when you and read you on the way out. Enjoy it. welcome my friend how are you dean del rizzi i'm good how about you good to have you on uncle joey's joint i miss you to death you know it's good to see you listen i fucking hate zooming but if it means i get

to see you then so be it you could just do so much talking on the phone you know what i'm saying oh it's great you look great man i got to tell you your skin looks great and you you look fantastic man. Brother, it's been a re-haul of my life since I got back here. Like, it's just been a complete haul from the reefer. Like, I'm cut down on reefer smoke, 50%. I only eat the edibles at night to go to sleep now. The surgery went well.

You know, as we discussed on the phone, I got off the pain pills with no fucking drama. That's big, you know. I've been lifting. I've been working out. And I just getting strong. every day brother that's great man that's great you know my neck's all good you look great too man it's good to see that you look fucking great non-stop but i do five miles a day and then some uh

yoga and and uh youtube um like uh exercises it's my gym now the youtube really yeah i go to the gym You know, the PT keeps me busy. It's an hour and a half. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And then I go to the gym opposite that. I try to go two or three days. But this week, it hit me a little hard this week. Like by Thursday, I didn't make PT on Friday

because I was fucking wiped the fuck out last week for some reason. After I got off the pain meds, I got off the pain meds, I think, on Sunday. And I was having headaches. but by Thursday, like from working out all weekend and the two PTs and lifting in Tuesday and Thursday, I think Friday I just broke down, man. Like I was supposed to go see Sam Trippley Friday night. I had plans with my fucking wife already. And Saturday, you know, I had some Patreon stuff to do.

And I just wasn't, I just couldn't get myself to get out of the house that night. I took a, you know, I show, I go, you know, I go out, I take my rides. I got my friends in the neighborhood, but as far as going out and, you know, I just don't have the fucking, uh, whatever yet. I'm not emotionally there, you know. Yeah. Yeah, I did, I did a show last night. It felt good. I got two tonight.

And, uh, it feels good to get on stage. It feels like when I first started, you know, I get a little butterflies. I'm trying to remember the material, the news. stuff and it is kind of a cool way to do comedy because when you do it as much as we did it and then you don't do it you feel like you've got the feeling back again the feels of like what it's like like oh i'm on stage you know that's such a weird thing you know when i go down on wednesday nights once i hit the stage i'm having a good time i'm not lying to you when i'm telling you i am having a good time but just the thought process of it and getting dressed and going down there that's the

hard thing like during the week i'll ask myself on a tuesday night joey get up go out take a ride and it's like i can't even do that like i've become such a family guy at the house you know i have two friends i grew up with in north bergen that live close by i mean two of them it's it's it's It's amazing. So they carry the blunt of my load. I'm either at one guy's house or the other guy's house. I go over there for an hour every night. When I was injured, they came here every night.

We smoke a bowl outside. We watch some TV. You know, we're all in our 50s. Those two guys are two years older than me. But I hung out with them at concerts and shit. The one guy went to concerts with a lot. he's the one that gave me the 8 track with the song remains the same on it and uh and uh and the almond brothers live at the film war so now 30 years later we've reconnected i see him a lot you know so

i'm uh writing on the book we got the proposal down the three chapters wow myself and erika yeah we got the three chapters down and you know inside you've been like in a Twilight Zone place, like, I'm not making any progress. I say to myself every week. But when I really look at it on Sundays, I am making progress. You know, we're doing a podcast, we're writing a book. So what, I'm not writing jokes. That's okay.

I've been writing jokes for the last 30 fucking years. You know, that's okay. I've learned to accept this new role as suburban dad, like a suburban fucking dad, you know. So it's kind of fun, but I do miss you guys. You know, that's just the way life is. I miss seeing you guys. I mean, it's been a year since I've been at the store. And that's like a bittersweet in a way, like one part of me.

It makes me happy, but the other part of me makes me really sad that my job of 22 years shut down. You know, it's going to open up now, you know, be open by the end of the month, hopefully. I think so. I think the game is over. whatever was going on now people have had enough i think americans have had enough and americans are going wait a second i got a 94 percent survival rate i'm going through all this you know i knew people

who wouldn't leave their room never mind the house during the podcast during the pandemic now they're out they're out they finally came to their conclusion that fuck it i'd rather died and be in a bedroom and you know a lot of people going through mental health issues right now a lot of people are frustrated unemployment checks aren't getting there you know it's just that the world is in a weird place but we're still making strides you're doing your patreon you've had the best six months i've had i've seen i mean i want to congratulate you on acdc and you just had some fucking last week you had the guy fucking gary newman here in my god I mean, you know, it just shows you that guys like us were a little older and we adapted.

Bill Burr adapted. This teaches people how to adapt and we just didn't shut down. We kept going. I shut down for one month because I was moving. I shut down in August, mid-August, we did all the podcasts. But I shut down September, you know, and just to evaluate myself. And thank God I kept in time. touch of Mike and Fannie and they kept pushing me.

Let's go. You got to do this, you know. And I'm happy I did it because if I were a way to tell now, I would have been still fucked, I would have been more fucked up. Do you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, because, you know,

it's funny how loyal fans can be, but if you're shut down for six months, man, out of sight, out of mine, they've moved on. It's really wild. You know, for me, I don't consider them fans. I consider them family, you know. Exactly. And, you know, I put it together in my head.

It took me 10 long years to understand what I was doing with this podcast, what I was saying on here. I was bearing my soul, you know, and it's, I think people need this right now. I think people want to know that even the people they think that are bulletproof are not bulletproof. We believe when we get cut. you know i've said it for years we all put our pants on one leg at a time so with the joey's joint i took in a different direction obviously there's no pot smoking anymore you know i only smoke for the music section of the podcast yeah um i want to just you know

i'm in the house of my daughter i got to respect her and what's going on that's why my pot smoke consumption has gone down i mean i've cut it in half wow it's amazing the edibles. I haven't done an edible in the daytime. I don't know how long it's been. You could probably buy a second house with the cut back that you did. It's crazy how I, uh, my appetite's coming back finally for a long time. I lost my appetite after the surgery.

Fucking last night, I think I got, I think I took the, I took the edible to go. I was tired. So I said, let me make my fucking little tea. Let me put my sleeping edible. in there oh my god i laid down and the fucking hunger woke me up i had a fucking go eat some cheese enchilada as my wife made yesterday or the day before i just put them down so i'm fucking happy that you know i got my appetite back i wasn't eating at night no more like that stopped that stopped like in august me eating at night and it's amazing how much my life changed and i knew i knew in april that a lot of

people are going to change careers people going to look at their lives and go fuck this i've been doing it wrong all along for me i hadn't done anything wrong you know the refer and stuff obviously you know when you're doing 2 000 milligrams a fucking day who you're going to look like a fucking bomb hit you you know even though i was taking care of myself but i think what got lifted off me was i got off the conveyor belt yeah the hamster I got off the Ferris wheel, and it took a long time to get adjusted to that because I'm a street guy like you. We're hustlers. We don't stop.

We're like sharks. You know, you were in a band for 30 years, and you became a comic. I've been a comic for 30 years. Mike just got me a guitar. I'm going to get my first lesson on Monday. Today, today I get my first lesson. What am I talking about? Today I get my first lesson.

That's so great. Yes. I tried to use. YouTube thing. I picked up a few things, but I just want to catch the basics from this guy. And then I got all of you guys to help me. I got guys on Patreon sending me tapes. Mike's going to help me a little bit. So I guess I'm going to grow up to be the next fucking Mark Marin and play the guitar. And hopefully in a couple of years you'll do a ACDC reunion again. We're in our 60s and we could fucking bang it out.

Yeah. And be like the Stones Jr. and shit. Joey up there. Malcolm. Malcolm Diaz. Malcolm Diaz, fuck yeah. It's funny. I learn guitar on a video called Learn guitar on the VCR.

No shit. Yeah, I bought it on late night TV. Have you ever wanted to learn guitar? Now it's easier than ever with learn guitar on the VCR. So I got the tape. And then I bought one of those shitty small TVs with the build. VCR and I rented out a small little studio in downtown San Francisco and I went there 10 hours a day

like I did comedy and I popped that tape in and I just would learn 10 hours a day and by the end of the year I wrote a record and had a record deal it was crazy no shit yeah I mean I put that record out man and tour it all over the place no shit that's how you got into all this that's well I played music forever as a singer and I could play a little bit of guitar but I was like I need to learn the guitar inside and out so I could write my own songs because I kept hearing songs in my head and I was only writing lyrics and melody but I needed to write music also so I said I'm taking a year off and I'm going to do this and shit man it was one of the best things I ever did besides doing comedy you know I I battled it the same way as doing comedy I just dug deep into it

that's what you have to do you know when you're falling love with something so the first week i just looked at youtube and picked up some pointers and at night i just go back in the office and now this week i had the carriage to put an album on and just like instead of lip syncing guitar syncing over it you know like just fucking around just listen man it keeps me uh it keeps my mind fresh i started reading again i got to the point dean where i was trying to read like boys and i was trying to read like like the Halford book. Jimmy Florentine gave me the Halford book.

Do you know I read that whole book in like four days and I can't tell you what I read? Oh, isn't that weird? I'm in the same way. That happened to me with two fucking books, Dean. Not one, two. And I was so furious. I go, I can't even, even like, people don't understand. Like, people call me or contact me to do things.

Like, I had an audition last week. 11 pages. Good fucking luck. Good fucking luck. Good luck. I'm not gonna... I put... It was two scenes. I put one scene up. I'm like, I'm not gonna remember too fucking... There's no way. There was a...

I mean, it was like 18 little fucking things. You can't read on tape with your glasses on. You look like a fucking jerk off. So you gotta know this shit off book. I couldn't get it off book. There's no fucking way. So I said, fuck it. I'm gonna start reading books I've already read. So I started with the man who led Zeppelin.

And now I'm back to the... corporation books that I've already read and just to remind me of what I read and it's been great that's helped me a lot also just reading comedy writing is fucking dead in my world dean I try to write a joke you know it's fucking I was funny because the other night I was by myself in the back room and I had Pink Floyd I just put on Pink Floyd the wish you were here and I was playing wish you were here I was playing on the on the electric guitar and it sounded more like wish you weren't here like I was laughing about myself I'm like that's the type

of jokes I'm writing like jokes that goof on me you know what I'm saying like Jesus Christ if anybody heard this they wish they wouldn't be here so it's like little things like that like little jokes like that yeah but like a bit like Bill Burr does I can't do that shit

anymore like I can't even I look at bits and I'm like I'm happy I get on stage once a week I'm happy I do it to give the girls a breather and to get me out, you know, because I don't want to be at a restaurant or at a bar hanging out, you know.

Yeah. So I haven't even been to my hometown and maybe since the new year, it's March 8th. I haven't been to North Bergen since Valentine's Day. And before that, it was like two weeks before the surgery.

Wow. That's a 55-minute drive for me. I don't even do that. So if I'm not even going to see my friends up there, It's like I'm down here I'm surrounded by trees and deer I got everything I need down here fucking great pizza

I got a soundstage if I got to tape the the commercials for Rogan or for Spotify I could walk to that fucking studio That's great So I've just the last six months It's just getting adjusted I can't believe it's been six months since I last saw you

Go on I can't believe it I remember you pulled up you said hey you home i said yeah i'm home and you pulled up and you got out of the car and i was like oh this guy's got cancer or something like you never do that you know like i need to talk to you hey came over you i'm done i'm uh moving to jersey and i was like whoa i couldn't believe it you know i was like oh i knew it was something real because you don't go hey you home i'm coming over right now yeah you're like one of the first persons i really told you know like I always knew I was leaving.

When I came home to shoot the Sopranos was when I really realized I belonged back here. It was just a matter of, it was just going to be a matter of time, you know? Right. I wish I could tell you the pandemic made me move. I was going to move anyway. The pandemic just pushed us, you know, pushed a little quicker. Yeah. I think the pandemic has done some good stuff also.

Yes. It makes us all realize, oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. There's more to life than just fucking doing one thing, you know? We're only here once. And if we would have died from the pandemic, it would have been like, well, man, I never, you know, like you, I didn't learn guitar or something. And I would have been okay if I died from the pandemic because I started comedy. And I was like, well, I started something new.

And I wasn't just working a dead end goddamn job. You know what I mean? So I've been like, I'm fine. like when I got ran over on the motorcycle, no regrets. So I think a lot of people wake up like that, you know, like, oh shit. Right? I want to do something. Do you remember I told you?

I'm like, Dean, I can't believe you ride a motorcycle. You're going to get hit one day. And like a week later, you got fucking clocked. I was like, I felt so bad. I feel so fucking bad. Listen, I was nervous to ride a bicycle in L.A. Yeah, yeah. You have to assume they're that fucking stupid, you know.

Yeah. With the bike lane, I would go for my bike rides at 7.30 in the morning during the pandemic when there was nobody. And I almost got hit by car 10 fucking times. Yeah. Just going like 30 yards. There was a 30 yard stretch that I had a pedal on the street. And I would always get hit all the fucking times because that's where the 170, people got off the 170 there. Oh.

By the other side. So it was like, Jesus. Christ, I'm going to get killed on this fucking thing. And I told, I warned two people about bicycles, and both of them got into an accident. Like, fucking two weeks later. There was a Cuban girl at the Y that was from Miami, and me and my wife, before Mercy was ever born. We used to go on date nights. When I first moved to North Hollywood, we had that no-ho diner, which is fucking garbage.

But at the time, that's the best you got to eat. So we would go to the Y, do yoga, do yoga, from 5.30 to 6.30, run to that fucking place, the Noho dinah, we'd eat, and then we'd shoot up to the house and watch whatever, Sons of Anarchy. And one day I saw her getting on a bike with a helmet on. On a Tuesday night, at 6.30, I go,

you ride a bike to Sherman Oaks? And she's like, yeah, it's just like three miles. I'll be home in 15 minutes. I go, that's not the point. You're riding your bike outside in the dark. I'm scared to ride my bike in the daytime. This was way before I had my bike. Like I said, this is before Mercy was born.

Right. About two weeks later, I see the girl in yoga. And she's got a cast on. And she goes like, hey, just came by to tell you, you're a psychic. I was riding my bike, and the guy opened this door and didn't see me. She had to get a tooth front teeth replaced. Oh. Fucking plastic surgery above her eye.

She flew off the fucking over-the-handle bars and shit. You know, it's crazy riding your bike in L.A. That's just a fucking nightmare. I was saying I was fucking 35 years on that bike and I was just I was addicted to it man I just there was it's a rush man I'm just splitting it is a rush getting into the next spot like holy shit okay I'm gonna do the store now I'm gonna boogie up to bray improv and then I'm gonna boogie over to the Irvine improv man I'm doing three spots just no I was funny I did San Diego last week I headlined out there was great four shows sold out man and aisles i thought about was i was driving home saturday night after the late show and i was like i used to ride a motorcycle back from lohoia comedy store in the cold and fog and dark all the way back after the spots at the store crazy and it no matter how you know when it's 60 degrees on a bike you're fucking cold

freezing. Even when it's 50 degrees, you're fucking cold. You got all the hoods on and the fucking, you know, I remember as a kid riding a motorcycle in Jersey, and it's, I don't care if it's 60 degrees out and warm. When you're riding at night and the sun goes down, it's fucking cold out there in those fucking swamps. You know, it's a lot cold in what people fucking think.

So I'm happy you got rid of that motorcycle. When you told me you got rid of it, I was like, thank fucking God. He got rid of that goddamn thing, because it's so good now i'm just in the toyota four runner right i got the the heat on i got the xm radio on and i'm just like listening to killer music i'm like this is the way man you know just chilling speaking about music man i saw you tweeted on saturday uh the rhino records uh released Black Sabbath Mob Rules and Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell. They sent me both copies.

I want to give a shout out because it's Rhino Records Metal Madness Month or whatever. Rino Records. I made a video for them last week thanking them for all the albums they sent me. They sent me like the Volume 4 and they sent me Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules. And I got to tell you something, man. when you look at hindsight 2020 you know they say hindsight whatever the fuck it's so weird because you came on the podcast maybe five years ago and you turned me on to humanizer i which is the when d o came back and did the album with sabbath and i went home and i listened to it and i thought

it was brilliant you know mob rules came out as i was going into my heavy crumptial criminal period. That's when the mob rules came out. So I really wasn't into that mob rules too much. Heaven and hell was a life changer for me. You retweeted them last Saturday, you know, because they're released on this week. Right. When I got the copies, I gave my mob rules to Jimmy Florentine, because I already had a copy of mob rules. But it made me listen to Heaven and Hell again, and it made me listen to Mob Rules again and when I heard that sign of the Southern Cross whatever the name of it off Mob Rules

I'm like fucking Dean Delray reminded me like I thought about you I was like and that's why I'm booking the podcast from now on when I think of people for some reason I'm just going to call them up and go I want you on the podcast man because like last week I was watching The Sopranos

and I'm like enough is enough I got to get David Chase to do a Zoom with me, you know. Oh, did he do it? No, we're going to do it before the movie comes out. Hopefully I could take him down to Austin and do the Rogan experience and then he could do like a 30 minute zoom with me for the joint, you know, but it's like when I think of people

now, I want to, like, you know, I'll call you 11 o'clock at night, which is 8 o'clock your time. Of course. My wife goes to bed at fucking 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and I'm left with my dick in my hand. So I got two options. I could fucking watch TV or I could listen to music and now I could play the guitar. Yeah.

Or write and I've even started reading at night before I go to bed. Like I just turned the TV off. But the one night I called you because I listened to the mob rules and I was like, man, did I waste my time with drugs? This was such a great album. Like I just, you know, by the time

listen by the time mob rules came out um for those for those about to rock yep um there was a couple of albums that the one with leon it with uh ted nougain when he did guango tango oh yeah you know all those albums were my goodbye to music like i wasn't into music that that was my end of going to concerts it was nothing but guns and fucking cocaine after that like that was there was no period for music.

When I moved to Colorado in 83, I got into music, but I got into music that I hadn't gotten into before. Like I got, you know, I got, I started listening to the Eagles and the Grateful Dead and, you know, the nitty-ditty dirt band and shit like that.

Things that I hadn't listened to before. But I was so stuck on Sabbath, you know, I had put so much time into Sabbath that I was saying, I got to move on. I got to figure something out. But by you turning me on to Dio and me going home at night and smoking dope

and doing edibles and listening to Dio, you kind of brought me back in a way. And I didn't see that then. But now that I opened up heaven and hell and I turned it back on, by you turning me on to the, this is really weird because our lives are narrated by music. You know, when we hear a certain song,

it takes us back to a certain time period in our lives. That's what's great about serious. That they got the 70s on 70, they got the 80s, they got the 90s, they got the 50s, they got the 60s. You can listen to all this music, and when I'm driving, I'll just keep switching serious

until I find a song I like and I'll run with the genre, whatever it is, but it's so weird how heaven and hell brought me back by you opening me, to that it brought me back to thinking about new jersey thinking about concerts again thinking about my friends like i hadn't thought i hadn't had those thoughts because comedy i consumed my life and now i look at how comedy i mean comedy consumed my life so much all right i'm a fat

fuck by nature but not really if you look at the pictures of me as a child i was always a bony fuck but comedy took me so deep that i even stopped caring about my like i took showers but i stopped caring about my health like that's how much i was into comedy when you're doing comedy the way you're supposed to do it you're not supposed to be healthy if you really think about it you're right all night you're drinking you know some of us do drugs some of us don't you know you're eating shitty eating shitty in the bars you know it's just the first 10 years you know it's just the first years of comedy is like this fucking diving into the abyss, you know, for some of us. You got a guy like Rogan that always kept his health up, you know, Bill Burr had to stop

drinking over the years. You know, we all learn why you're doing comedy, what doesn't work, because you learn more about yourself. You're unveil, you know, you're opening up one of those fucking artichokes, you know. So you see what we're, I was telling somebody the other day that there's no more fiends. in comedy. Now, now. When I got into comedy,

people weren't showing up at gigs. People were getting high. People were doing blow. There's nobody doing coke and comedy no more. There's no drugs in comedy. There's no, Sam Kennisans anymore, nothing like that. No, no, it's business, man.

And, and, you know, you can't be all fucked up on that patio at the store because there's going to be like three agents, a casting agent, a guy that's got a movie for you. And if you, you know, if they come up and talk to you and you're all like, they'll be like, oh, whoa. Okay, yeah, we'll give you a ring, you know.

And I know you're saying, you're saying that to me, and I know I lost a thousand jobs and a thousand relationships because I would never get coked up at the store, like before the show. But after I went on stage, it was every man for myself. It's an open fucking bar. Yeah. I don't have to, you know, you've seen it. You, you, I don't know.

Yeah, you lived it also. You saw what it was like up there, you know, that it's very easy to go up there and get messed up with drugs and drinking, you know. I got caught up with comedy so much that I even, I didn't turn my back on music. I just, it had felt like been there, done that. But it was music that brought me back by listening to that music, that Dio stuff and all that.

And let me tell you something, I wanted heaven and hell to fail so bad. You know, I mean, you know, I wanted heaven and hell the fucking, I wanted to hate heaven and hell so much, but I ended up falling in love with the album at that age. Like, and now I look back at the courage that it took, I remember I had Ronnie James Dio's wife on and I told her to truth. Wendy. I told her the truth. I go, everybody around me wanted that album to fail. You know, you were dissing Ozzy. but as a music enthusiast that showed you how to be a real man in a way how to go wow

even though I wanted this to fail this is a great fucking album and I'm going to pay attention to it you know it's interesting when you listen to them it's uh it's it's it's black Sabbath it's Bill Ward on heaven hell

and it's Tony Iommi and Gieser Butler it's the same three guys but when Dio was in the band they seem to play more violent. Tony Iommi plays way, way more violent lead guitar. His tone is different and their tempos are different and everything. It's just more of this punch in the face. Like when you open up with neon nights, you're like, whoa, this is violent music as far as the performance compared to, say, some of the classic Sabbaths.

which is kind of a little sleepy and droney, you know, down, down, that kind of stuff. Mastery-A-ish. If you compare like Master Reality-ish, which is a great album to an album like, you know, Children of the Sea. Let's take that song, for example. That's a very unclassic, classic Sabbath song.

Like it's unclassically classic Sabbath. and there's a certain beauty to it. It's a great little ballad. You know, I love changes. I love I'm going through changes. Great ballad. You know, Ozzie did some great ballads with Black Sabbath, but I think children to see Dio fucks it up.

If you want to call it a ballad, to me, it's a ballad to some people might be listening to this. They might go, Joe, we don't know what the fuck you're talking about. That's not a ballad. It's a ballad to me. It is. haunting ballad. It's a haunting fucking ballad.

When I put that album back on, it just, it took me right back there this week. And it just let me know that it was you that brought music back into my life. And I wanted to thank you. Like, you really opened my eyes to, I remember having Bird on,

like in 2015, and him and I did a podcast about Guns and Roses. I had gotten so many emails, from 20-year-olds that said they had never even heard of Guns and Roses, it fucking infuriated me. It infuriated me that all that kids knew were, you know, welcome to the jungle. They didn't get to see the videos for November rain and, you know, which are fucking masterpiece videos. Totally. Not only were their masterpiece record, Guns and Roses learned to master the video.

Sweet child of mine is a great fucking video. They really, you know, it's weird to know that our friend, Gene Kirkland, was on that video shoot as a young photographer, you know. They're videos, and it blew me away. Like that podcast with Bert and the response I got, it wasn't like, thank you for being funny. No, no, no, no. Thank you for opening our eyes to this fucking.

And all of a sudden, like, three years later, I'm not saying because of me, I'm just saying, like three years later, they were the first band, to break a billion views. I think it's November rain. Did break a billion views like three or four years later after our podcast. Again, I'm not saying this because we did the podcast. But it even made me go home and listen to Guns and Roses.

It made me go home on Patreon. I just recently started playing the Pretenders. How the fuck do you peg me as a Pretenders fan? So music brought me back to being, Coco Diaz, you know, not a comic, just a human being again. Like it brought me back to fucking Cocoa Diaz again. When I stopped playing music, it made me start to love it again.

So when you're so deep into music, you're just kind of blinders on and you're just recording and making music. And then when I got out of it, and that's why I started at the comedy store, because it was, you know, the buildings painted black. It's on sunset strip. It's 100% rock and roll that place. It goes way back with Knessin and Dice and all the rock in there and all the rockers

hanging out there. And I was like, I'm going to start here. And then they'd play rock on the patio. And I was just like, man, I love music again, like more than ever, you know, because I was out of it. And I could just enjoy it without feeling a slight competitive. thing when you're playing music you know like ah they put out a fucking good record

god damn it I gotta get better you know that whole thing it was wild now I could just listen to it as a full fan it's funny because I always admired the DJ when I was a kid I always thought about DJing like not in a disco

you know scratching and shit just just the I love the idea of turning people on to music they hadn't heard before with a story, you know. I'm not in love with stand-up anymore right now. For some reason, I'm just at a blah state with stand-up right now. But the last, this pandemic has made me fall in love,

re-fall in love with music. I'm happy Mike got me the guitar as a gift because now it's an extension. But it also, I don't know how to describe it. like it just removed a lot of cobwebs for me, music, during this time. This settled me a little more. Like I even put on, I put on an album that I haven't listened to in 40 years. I put on to the Good Rats. Now I forget the name of the album, you know, and I was like, wow, I can't believe.

I use, our birth comes to us all by the Good Rats. The Good Rats were a band out of Long Island when I was a kid. And they had a couple good songs. I think they opened up for somebody at the garden. They made good. You know, they didn't hit the mecca of it. But I've even done things like that. I've listened to the Kinks, Cilroyd Heroes, you know.

Fucking the one with Lola V. Meet Superman. You know, all these albums, I've been listening to all these older type albums to let me know who the fuck I was growing up. And it's done a fucking great job without a psychiatrist. You know, I didn't have to go online and talk to a psychiatrist or secret religion or whatever. I mean, my relationships have gotten stronger with my wife and my child during this pandemic. But what I enjoy the most right now, more than stand-up is doing the album of the week. Because that means that I come down here after dinner like Wednesday, and I fucking smoke a bone.

And I go in that room, I locked the door, I put my feet up on the couch, and I get to listen to an album like when I was like 15, without a worry in the world. You know, like when you're 25 and you listen to an album, it sounds different than it did when you were 15 because now you got a life. You're in college, you just graduated college, you're at a law firm, you're this, you're that. So you forget all this shit, you know, you forget it. I didn't. This is what brought me back, was listening to that old music again. I feel 100% better than I did in Los Angeles.

I'm off the Ferris wheel, like I'm off the fucking ride. I could do comedy on my terms, you know, I don't know if that, but this has made me fall in love. That preparing for album of the week is my favorite fucking thing that I do now. because I could do an album of the day if I wanted to I would do an album of the day and sit there with them and it could be eight hours like it could be joint after joint

like if I had a job where you go listen we want you to present a fucking album every day just smoke weed you got four hours to kill I could fill that because I could break down every song we could go over the lyrics we could see where they recorded the album at you know I love all that

shit i love that shit too that's i wanted to be on serious xm and just do that shit you know like present new music like here's marcus king man and this is why i like him and this is where i saw him and this is where he his sound comes from and and that breakdown that kind of stuff rival sons new bands that i'm constantly finding so people are that say there's no good music anymore i could just be like you're wrong listen to my show every day at two o'clock i'm going to give you three bands you know yeah no no i like it from that perspective but since i'm not on top of the new bands yeah this you know listen right now the people watching and listening to this podcast i got to say that maybe 10% of 50 year olds we got maybe 30% of 40 to 50s we got like another 20% in their 30s but everybody else

is in their 20s and late teens. And maybe their father didn't listen to Sabbath or the Stones or Leonard Skinner or, you know, I just listened to Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush live. So, so great. Two weeks ago. I love that live, from 1978. That, you know, just the thought of listening to that hour, I almost called you at one in the morning and said, you know, what happened with Frank Marino?

You know, that was a, that was like, that could have happened. That happens with comics. There's some great, you know, the kid who passed away a couple weeks ago, Eric, God rest of soul. He was a great comic, that kid. You know, he just had other demons that were haunting him. The reason why people didn't hear about him before that was because he fell through the cracks. And that happens with a lot of bands today. Like, you're like, fuck, that was a great band.

But they didn't, Tesla. Oh, yeah. Tesla's got 20 fucking great songs. Yeah. But they didn't get to the heights of Judas Priest or Iron Maiden or, you know, Sabbath. Y&T. Yeah, Tesla's a good band. Y&T.

There's a lot of great, YT, there's a lot of great bands that just fell through the holes. You don't, you don't, and with comics that happens also. They were great, I'm finally fucking excited that Holtzman came out of his coma. after 20 years that the world could see what the fuck Brian Holstman is he finally moved to Austin he's down there with Brian

and Tony Hinchcliff and he's being a comic that guy is one of the funniest guys walking today but the world never got to see him because Holtsman always needed a fucking job funniest guy walking

off the cuff funniest fucking guy off the cuff he's a killer he's a killer so you know like I'm excited like last week I was like what the fuck Brian Holton was at the store

for 22 years. They didn't want to do comedy. Now he wants to do comedy. This is what the pandemic did to people. And for a guy like me who couldn't even think about not doing it. Like I could, dog, you know that Monday night that I wouldn't go to the store when they would

have, like, Kill Tony. Yeah, probably. I'd be doing a podcast. And I'll tell you what. Between me and you as men, I was embarrassed. I wasn't there. Yeah. Like the way I lived my life, you're supposed to do stand up every fucking night. The only reason why I gave myself a pass on those nights on Mondays and Wednesdays was because I was doing a podcast.

It's a form of entertainment. But if I wasn't doing a podcast, I'd still have to be out. I would beat myself up to be out. That's who I am. And when you're a comic, that's what you need to be. That's what. And now I look at myself, I don't even, I look outside that back patio some nights. And I go out there and I smoke a number in the cold.

And I smoke a half a number, to be honest of you. I put it away for the next day. I don't even smoke the whole fucking number. But that just goes to show you that how people have changed during this pandemic. Like Holthel went from wanting a day job. He saw himself on that documentary on the comedy store and he goes, fuck this. I'm going to go do fucking comedy full fucking time.

I'm wasting my fucking life being a fucking dog catch or whatever the fuck he's doing. So I hope now people get to fucking witness the brilliance. That's Brian Holschman. Yeah. He's great, man. I had him on the podcast a few months ago. I mean, I remember when I started,

I'd have to kind of follow him. And man, it was the greatest lesson ever because it was just like, it was almost impossible. If you could just get one laugh, you're like, all right, I kind of,

I got out of there as a tie, because he would just disintegrate, the room. He would just integrate the room. Yeah. And it taught me to learn how to follow people like him or Rick Ingram or a Brody that are completely outside the box, different, you know, rhythms and cadence and volumes and, you know, loud or whatever, organic, you know, just winging it.

All that kind of stuff of like, oh, I got to be more in the moment and free. And fuck it, man. Address it. if you're bombing up there after Holtzman, you're like, yeah, you come up here and try to go on after Holtzman, that kind of shit, and it's starting to work, and I figured it out. I was like, all right, I got this, you know?

But it took a long time. What killed me the most about Holtzman was watching him was not, I wouldn't watch Holtzman. I'd watch the audience reaction. I would just sit in the back. I wouldn't sit in Mitzie's chair. I'd sit in that other chair across from the bathroom. Right?

If you come out of the bathroom, There's a chair right there. Yeah, that's a good one. I like that one. Because at midnight, there would be nobody in that fucking, when Holtsman would go up. It would be like me,

Holtsman, and somebody else. So we wouldn't even have a fucking, you know, there would be eight people in there, 10 people, 12 people. So I would go watch their faces. After Holstman, it would always turn down the four.

Like, he would always walk four people. Like, I would go, Holschman, please, fucking don't walk those four because the comedy store in those days needed four people to do a show. And there were many a nights that that's all we had in that motherfucker

was four fucking people. So, you know, it would get to like 22. Paul Mooney would go up, he would get off, it would get to like 12. So now I had fucking eight people left that I had to pray for that fucking Holshman wasn't going to walk. And he used to have a bit

that he had a kid that was gay and he would take his son to the baseball games to blow off. He would take him the trucker stops to blow truckers and shit because his son was gay. And when he was a baby, he would take him to baseball games

and just take his dick out and feed him at baseball games and shit. And I would watch people's faces and they would lose it. That was an education. That was an education itself. So I'd be sitting there. You know, I'm,

cheering for the motherfucker to do well. But at the other hand, I'm cheering for fucking these eight people to stay. Because without them, I'm not going to get my $15. And fuck, in those days, I needed those fucking $15 badly. Hell yeah. So I would watch

Holtzwin and go, please, do have a great show. I want to laugh. But don't do that fucking, you take your kid to the baseball games and he suck your dick when he's hungry bit because people get fucking, you know, people just get fucking annoyed and they walk out.

I saw people storm out of there that were gay, you know, when he would say that joke. But, I mean, that's the way it was. You had to go up there, follow Hotsman to six people. There'd be six fucking people in the fucking audience. And I'd go,

Jesus Christ. So, now I'm doing shows for, I think it's, they raised it to 35% New Jersey. So I think I got like 40-something people in there every Wednesday. They'll probably raise it up. towards the end of the month. I think by June,

I was looking at the schedule for the concerts around here. They're fucking straight. Their full boat, Jack. Steely Dan, the 3rd of July, over at PNC, whatever. So I don't know what they're going to do.

I don't know what the seating arrangements are, but they're going for it. I'm off to Des Moines, Iowa next weekend. Really? Or this weekend, yeah, my first road dates in one year. my first plane ride everything i'm going to teahis in des moines and i'm going to go do three shows one friday two saturday and i'm ready man i feel i'm writing some of the best material in my

11 year career 10 and a half years now and i feel i'm uh i know from the pandemic i love this more than anything and comedy saved me actually because if i was just selling motorcycles during the pandemic like i was i'd been done i would have been done i would have no money i would have really no friends a couple friends that you know have kids and i'd see from work but i'd be done so comedy when i look at it and also getting that diabetes when i did and beating it prepared me not to die for the fucking pandemic because you know i got covid back in march i would have been fucking dead with with diabetes so everything's kind of uh it's like i i really believe this joey i've said this many times i feel like your life map is laid out for you when you're born i kind of feel like

that because here i am like man somebody's looking out for me because i'm uh i was doing comedy and thank God, I was in the Patreon and the podcast. I did. The podcast 10 years. So without that, I would be dust, you know, it's just crazy to think about. You know, I'm very happy that I felt, I always wanted to tell you that I always felt bad leaving you there. Like, I felt really bad, you know, like I'm like, he's like, he's become like my brother over the years. You know, I was happy to see Lee leave and Steve Simone leave you know I didn't want to feel like a quitter you know at first that's what I felt like I'm a quitter for leaving

but I wasn't leaving because of me I was leaving with my daughter you know I get it right now my daughter is at a play date you know or she's in school but you know on fucking Saturdays and Sundays now there's no more daughter in the house those days are done like her and my wife wife have fucking lives here.

Yeah. Tripoli performed on Friday and Saturday in, uh, in, uh, at the comedy dojo, you know, I was going to go Thursday night with Jimmy, but his son had a, a game on Thursday night. And then Friday night, my wife went out, you know, my wife has friends here. I mean, you know, she goes out once a week. And then Saturday night, I had, you know, shit to do. We went to a friend's house.

And then by the time I got back, it was too late to drive to Tripoli's, and we have that thing on Saturday nights as a family. We watched the honeymooners at 9.30. I got to watch it all in the family at 9. 9.30 to the honeymooners. And then they go to sleep, and me and my wife watch the honeymooners at 11. So it's like, you know, man, Doug Stanhope said it best last week that he is the first time since he was 17, that he slept in his bed for a year.

Yeah, yeah. You know, I was like everybody else, I got to be honest with you, when the pandemic first hit, I was concerned and worried. But then as it went on, I got happy because I needed to break. My spirit, my soul, I had been going fucking straight since 1970, fucking nine, man. Yeah. I've been going straight. Yeah. I have been out every night since 1979.

When my mother died and I lived with a family, it was hard to stay in a house at night with a family that wasn't yours, you know? Even though I loved them and I cared for them and they cared for me, just the thought of being in the room was like being in prison at the age of 16. So I've been out every night since 1979. Same, man. You know what? Sam. It's been a great fucking year. I had my ups and downs since the pandemic started.

You know, when the pandemic started, I got caught up with the fucking, with the fucking pills. And, you know, my anxiety went off fucking kilter. And then little by little, you know, I went through all these things. I remember eating, I told my wife that up until I think September 1st, I had a fucking, knock myself out every night to sleep. And what I mean knock myself out, I mean that I had built a tolerance that only heroin could probably conquer. I could do, I could do, I was eating five of those capsules and one of them will kill you.

One of those fucking hashtags will kill you 100 milligrams. I was eating five or 600, 200 milligrams. You know, just to pass out. Yeah, I was, fuck. fucking killing my abrasopam, whatever that fucking shit is. Those footballs? I was eating four or five of those things a night. I had a collection of them.

My doctor kept prescribed them to me since like 2008, and I never took them. I just put all the jars together. I had like 20 jars of these pills. So every time Express Script would send them, I would have a jar of those fucking footballs. And I just, bro, my whole life was turning on World News Tonight. and playing fucking, you know, stop the anxiety. So once, I think I got settled September 1st, once I moved, I went to a party and I seen all these people without mask

and I'm like, fuck it, I'm gonna fucking die, but I can't keep living now I'm living. And here we are today, I'm a lot better. What do you feel now since it's been what? Two months since, oh, you had COVID this February or last? No, I had it last March at the beginning, early COVID. Okay. And how do you feel now?

Any after effects or anything? I feel great. It was like three months. I was just completely like sluggish. If I was working out, I was kind of burnt. And it would come and go, just kind of this weird flemy shit in my throat. I never had the cough, but I had the fever that you would want to shoot yourself with a bullet. Four days of this gnarly fever.

And then I would just, it was weird. It took about three months for me to kind of get back to like, oh, I'm finally normal again. I was just burnt all the time. So it could have been also anxiety and stress and depression with a combo of detoxing from the COVID. And I also had a weird thing that nobody seems to know what it was, but my nose kind of blew up. like a Bukowski day drinking nose and just ooze out like an oil all day. Like my nose was just greasy with big old pores. I don't know what the fuck.

That had to be some side effect that nobody's got. But dude, I remember I was doing an Instagram live and someone said, man, you need sunblock. Your nose is fucked up. And it was fucked up my nose. I thought it was going to be like that for life. I was like, my nose is ruined. It was crazy. Yeah, I don't know.

Like the last week, I took two COVID tests. I got a guy now that just lets me come in for a flat price. We've become friends because any time I'm, you know, I always try to take a test on Thursday. You know, I got Mike. I don't want to give it to Mike. And then he has kids and stuff like that. Right.

You know, I go over to Florentines and stuff. But besides that, I really don't do much. I go to the gym and nobody there has it They leave both doors open You know When I go do comedy on Wednesdays And Uncle Vinnie's

I'm not scared at all I don't feel It's 40 people You know So I'm all right now I just My life changed a lot That's all that happened

You know My Watson desires have changed a little bit And you know what I'll take the summer off And I'll see what my head is at when the soprano movie comes out, when the many saints comes out. If I get a slight bug up my ass, I'll do a little fucking touring then.

But for right now, I'm just going to sit tight and keep listening to records and learn to play the fucking guitar. That's it. And that's all. My phone does the best thing on the planet. I think the iPhone is the photo memory. So the, you know, weekly, it'll pop up this photo memory. and a lot of them are with you.

And I sit down for a minute. Like I sent you that Vegas photo from last week, you know. February 28, that was our last road date. That was it. That was my last road date. And March 2nd was when I went to March 3rd was my last date at the store. Yeah, and March 10th was the Bond Scott Tribute and 12th was my last date at the store. But these photos come up of you and I,

all over, man. Over the years, dude, over the years, we have gone and melted some faces, man. Melted some faces and made people happy. And that is better than anything on the planet. When you just hear people go, I saw you and Joey punchline, and Joey's flight was canceled because of the fog,

and you headlined the one night. And then I was like, who's this guy? And then you killed, and I went back the next night, you and Joey Craig, you know, like all these stories I give all the time from people and it's great, man. And that Vegas show was, we were both fucking powery, man, because we'd been just doing comedy 24-7, man. Listen, man, you're, uh, you were one of the things that were keeping me alive towards the end. Because I was very devastated with people and young comics and how they were acting.

and everybody was looking for something. You weren't looking for anything. You were doing the work. So it kept me alive. I admired that. I admired, you know, you and Steve Simone, and there was a couple of you guys, Carmen Morales, that you didn't think I was watching,

Jesus Trail, but I was watching. You may not think I'm watching, but I'm watching. That's why I love when people reach out and say, hey, I'm doing this, this, and this. Have you were doing that, that, and that, and that, I'd be fucking hearing about you. Yeah. I haven't heard about you.

But I was hearing little murmurs about Dean Delray. And I was hearing little murmurs about Kate Quigley. And I was hearing little murmurs about Hazel's Trejo. And, you know, these comics that weren't scared to put their fucking, you know, they didn't care about being a doorman. You just saw them that they loved comedy so much that I had to fucking do something for them. And then you had these other handful of people. people that just wanted to be stars and didn't want to do the work.

They just thought, oh, Joey will put me on this podcast and take me on the road and I'll be a fucking star. Really? It doesn't happen that quickly. You've got to earn your fucking stripes, bitch. So as far as I was concerned, all these people were upsetting my internal fucking organs with their fucking gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme. But I'm looking at guys like you and Steve Simone and Kate Quigley and, you know, Hazo's

trail. It was just like a special aid of yous. And you guys would inspire the fuck out of me. Because I would look at you and go, that's the behavior. You know, wow, I'm proud that these guys are acting this way. Because that's what you want. But then you had these other handful of fucking clowns that thought that, you know, doing comedy twice a week,

earned them a right to come on the podcast or fucking me taking them on the road. Or, you know, I get these fucking emails from people. I hate you. you ruined my life by not putting me on my podcast. How the fuck is my podcast going to make you a fucking star? Do you see me on ABC? Yeah.

Do you see me hanging out with Denzel fucking Washington? You dumb fuck? Do you see me hanging out with fucking, you know, I'm not a fucking star. I'm just a fat fucking felon working. Doing what you should be. This is what you should be doing is working. But then on the other hand,

I had guys like you that were doing the work. You got to remember. I know you, I saw you as a, chubby guy at the ha-ha yeah when i first moved to north hollywood yeah and then and then you just reinvented yourself you made decisions for yourself i'm not going there no more i'm gonna go to the store that these are my friends you know you thought i saw what you were doing and it impressed the fuck out of me in the society that everybody was just give me give me give me give me give me i want to be on a podcast i want a shout out i want you to take me on the road i was getting tapes from

people sent to me on YouTube email you know fucking emails from people that I didn't know a messenger I want you to take me on the road you're coming to Cleveland can I open for you who the fuck are you yeah I don't know you but I know that Dean Delray did three fucking spots last night and he rode a bicycle to his last one you know he went home put away his car and drove a bike up to the fucking last one

I know that fucking Kay Quigley's taking bikini picture and showing her tits, but I also know that she's fucking out there every night. You know, I'm looking at, you know, all these guys that were doing fucking great work, you know, Crystal Johnson, just all these comments, you know, look at fucking, and I never got her on the podcast, because she always worked, punky.

Now she's on Saturday Night fucking Live, you know. Yeah. I was watching all these people busting their hump at the comedy store, all these young kids, and these fucking other people in every other state, send them, can I come on your podcast? They thought that by just going on a podcast who was going to change their life.

And they had no idea of what goes into this fucking career. They had no idea what goes into this life. If you want to be a plumber or an electrician, a writer, fucking I'm learning now how to be a writer after all these fucking years. 30 years in the business.

And I'm learning now how to write fucking sentences and paragraphs and whatever. It took that fucking long. I'm not a writer. I'm a comedian. I'm supposed to make you laugh. Yep. But that's why I got so close with you because you inspired the fuck out of me.

Everybody else is bringing me to fuck down. Everybody else is a fucking downer. You know, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wanted to die. And here I see you digging fucking holes every week like me. You know, we were out there every fucking night, so you always have a place,

a special place in my heart. Fuck the iPhone with the fucking memories. those memories are in my heart and in my soul, man. Same here. And I'm happy you turn me back on to D.O. Sabbath. And I'm happy that Rhino Records
