I've never understood.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Since day one, I never, listen, I don't understand fireworks, I don't understand fucking parades. Anything you can fucking do every year, I don't understand. I ain't going down there. And it's not, like, I get it for, like, little kids, but when I start being, like, 13,
Starting point is 00:02:20 it's always the same. They always have the one that sparkles, and they have the finale that always disappoints, and there's eight million people there, and it takes three hours to get out of parking. And at a certain point, I just stopped caring about it. Like, I like Fourth of July stuff. This is what I want to see. You want to see an asshole if I work? No, I want to see. Somebody gets shot first. You want to see a Fourth
Starting point is 00:02:40 of July show, get like somebody who fucked up in the neighborhood and you shoot them in the fucking leg or something like that. That's the way a good Fourth of July celebration always ends. Then a climax is a lighting somebody on fire or something like that. That's, it's 2013. You know what I'm saying? At this point, that's what the fuck you want to see. But if you think I want to go, park, walk with a fucking hill, eight dollars, sit with a bunch of other fucking families and see fire and at the end when you're shooting fireworks that's a fucking pisser though you don't know what it was when i was a fucking kid there were legal Massachusetts so i don't know about legal fucking i didn't do i never did nothing that was fucking legal all i
Starting point is 00:03:12 know it's going into chinatown 50 fucking bucks and coming back with cherry bombs fireworks bazookas fucking sticks of dynamite you know m80s and all that shit and that was it you went over there you came back and fucking fourth of july while you were sparking them and shit you were having fun But to sit there like a mama, oh, look at that. Ooh, get the fuck out of here. The fuck out of here. After it's killing America, you know. And I hate to say this is fucking wasps.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I didn't think about it until yesterday. How much a wasp fucking person bothers me. What made you think about it? I went to Domingo's yesterday, finally. The restaurant of Steve Simone and all those guys who are talking about fucking badass. But it's small. It's an Encino. Well, let's get to the story from this stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:59 We live in California. We live in Los Angeles, Studio, City, North Hollywood. Whatever the fuck we live up up here. There's the valley. You know, a lot of us live up in the fucking valley. But here's the deal. That, you know, I'm not the type of New Yorker that complains about food. I really don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Obviously, in 15 years, I'm walking around weighing 300 pounds. Something's good out here. Yeah. You know, you can't say, I see these fat New Yorkers that say food sucks. Me, I'm not one of those dummies that's going to come over with the bagels. I don't give a fuck. I make the best of what they got and whatever. Once in a while, though, you want a wet musseldell sandwich on a hard bread.
Starting point is 00:04:29 You want all this shit. You know what I'm saying? And you just want it. So sometimes you got to get that food, you got to drive. You got to drive to Cavitellas, deli, in the heart of fucking whatever. All this place. All this place is in Burbank. I've taken you to Pinocchio's and God.
Starting point is 00:04:45 And that is what it is. You accept it. It's not the best. When I took two of my buddies from Jersey, I came in June, they were like, this ain't bad. It ain't fucking exquisite compared to the rest of the country. Whatever. I went to this place yesterday, Domingo. Our buddy Steve Simone

The Joon is a great place for comedy. Then from there was Grappler's Quest. And from there, I covered for Ralphie at the South Point Casino, Hotel and Casino off the strip. Oh, that's cool. Dirty at 1230. They do it every week. It was fucking great. I had a great fucking time. And I came home Saturday. It was the end of four weeks that I'd been on the road. I didn't want to stay for the Friday. I just wanted to come home and relax.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And I was happy. I went to my friends' house. I watched the fight. I hung out with their kids. We got Chinese food. Oh, shit. Yesterday I woke up. I hung out with my baby and my wife,
Starting point is 00:12:34 and I got aggravated by going to the farmer's market and whatever. It's just great. It's great. I'm home now for 10 days. Then it's off to Philadelphia. Hopefully you'll get the CD finished this week. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:46 The Philadelphia would do all the add-ons for these beautiful people with a CD. hopefully go on sale for last week of July, and now we're going to be working on the fucking physical specials. Oh, shit. Enough with me. What happened with you this? I know you're dated.
Starting point is 00:12:59 You jumped up and down. You had the old freaks over last night with the fucking brothers and shit over here. Yeah, I had a great weekend. I started to see this girl. Spanish girl. Yeah. You fucking dirty Jew. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:12 She's Mexican. You guys. And I went to, it's funny because I went to John Lovitz Saturday. There was a Jewish girl on stage talking about how she won't do. Jewish guys. Absolutely not. Because they're gross and blah, blah. And I'm thinking about how she was gross. Does Ari, does Ari date Jewish girls? I doubt it doesn't seem like.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Arii dates everybody. He dates everybody. He's a fucking fucking animal. He don't give a fuck. He's an equal opportunity dick slinging. And anybody could suck Ari's dick. Just give him a call and send them a fucking Facebook. Yeah, but the thing I was thinking about was like when you, like, I'm still young even though it seems like I'm not.
Starting point is 00:13:45 When you date, like when you're younger, you date the wrong people just because you don't want to be mean or hurt people. And I was thinking about it. We went to watch the UFC, and we started outside with everyone. We had a bunch of drains, then we ate. But she was out there for two hours. She doesn't watch the UFC. Then she went to the concert I wanted to go to.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And she said something to me. She's like, tonight's about you. Like, I want you to have fun. I was thinking about it. I had girls who wouldn't, like, they would never go watch the UFC or do. Like, I think it's important to date someone who, like, it's like not even nice, but like, they think about you. I don't know. It was.
Starting point is 00:14:16 The worst thing in the world is going on a date. And in between dinner, you know, you know. you never want to see this bitch again. And that goes the other side's ladies. I understand what you feel. You go out to dinner and you watch me eat and you're like, no. Not fucking happen.
Starting point is 00:14:30 He's got food on his shirt. He's got shit his teeth, you know. And it's really bad. It's really bad when you date somebody for a long time. You know, sometimes horniness does some wild shit. Oh, yeah. Hey, listen, man, I'm not going to lie to you. You know, lately I've been thinking about calling my ex-wife
Starting point is 00:14:48 and calling my daughter. It's really been bothering me lately Just making them call You know there's a lot of anger there Yeah Between everybody Do you care about the ex-wife as much? No, I don't care about nobody
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah I don't care about those motherfuckers Because at the end of the week They tried to cut my legs off They went from my legs And that's, you know Some people When you're down
Starting point is 00:15:08 Some people take you down And you're good And you move on Some people take you down and kick you Some people take you down Kick you and drag you Some people take you down Kick you grab you
Starting point is 00:15:17 And fucking try to cut your legs off that's addicted to me emotionally, you know, I didn't deserve that shit. I wasn't that bad of a person. But again, I made a lot of mistakes myself. I'm not going to sit here and say, so I've been just thinking about it lately. Just because of what I'm going through in my new family. You know, I remember all these stories from my sophomore year and doing drugs, but I really have nothing to remember about the beginning of that
Starting point is 00:15:40 of our first 18 months together, and that makes me sad. Yeah, I know it was because I was addicted to drugs at the time, but the other side of that coin, I just wasn't. into it. So maybe they felt that also. Maybe that's why we're not together. So there's two sides to every story and every situation. It's just being mad enough to fucking look at that
Starting point is 00:15:58 side of it. That's the big thing that we all have. It took me fucking 30 years. Don't look at me as a genius to think this way. It took me a long time at 20. I would never think this way. At 20, I was still looking to fucking kill you. You know, just to my thinking. I'm still looking to stalk you or do
Starting point is 00:16:16 whatever the fuck I can to take you down. You know, after all the years, you know, thank God comedy came into my life and swept me off my feet and gave me a purpose. You know, I'm very lucky. But we all find the fucking purpose if you look. You know, nothing happens on the fucking couch. The only thing you can look for on the couch is change in the seats. So that's why you don't want to live on fucking change. You get the fuck out of the house.
Starting point is 00:16:39 So thank God I found something. Yeah. So thank God. So what time has prevailed? I think for me to move on with my family, I have to close that door. more, you know, I thought by doing all the obligations that it was it, it's more than obligations
Starting point is 00:16:54 and paying child support and doing all that dumb shit. So you don't want, like, you're not looking for a relationship, you just want to get closing? No, I just want to know that everybody let everybody know that, you know, shit happens in life. Nothing nothing's worth dying. You know, I can leave here and I don't want
Starting point is 00:17:11 get hit by a fucking car and that's it. That's the end. Yeah. You know, I died with thoughts. She must have, you know, we were married. We have a child together. Something must come into her mind from time to time, even if it's hatred. And it comes into my mind, there's hatred also. What the fuck you're going to do, you know?
Starting point is 00:17:28 You can't love everybody, bro. No. It cannot. It's humanly impossible to love everybody. So, but I think I want to close that chapter. It's that time. For me to grow as a man with my own family now, with my daughter. My daughter got a year's pissed over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Oh, really? Did you do okay? I didn't go. You know, I can't see this shit. I had anxiety just thinking about it. But you know what? She went with her fucking godmother and her mother and a godmother's daughter. And I stayed with the boys and watched the UFC with the husband.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And it was a good girl's thing for them. But I really thought about how special it was for Jackie the godmother wife. She really liked Jackie. Janice, my baby's got. She really likes. Mercy. Yeah, she likes mercy. They all.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Her family and my wife, Jizz, and everybody gets together and the kids, you know. It's just, I love the kids. I really love their kids. Yeah, you love the little daughter. Yeah, oh, juven. You were goofing with her. Oh, we were goofing this weekend. She always goosted me.
Starting point is 00:18:26 As soon as she called me Uncle Joey this weekend. It really got my fucking heart going. Really? Yeah, she's a cute kid, man. And the boys are great. They're like 10, 13, and they tell me about basketball. That's awesome. Yeah, you need that sometimes.
Starting point is 00:18:39 So, you know, when you, pro, somebody like me is uptight and rap so tight, I can talk for comedy for you. years. If that's what you want to talk, we can talk comedy for fucking years. Yeah. And it's great, but not really. Every once in a while, you just want to hang out with normal people
Starting point is 00:18:57 and just talk about fucking stupid shit. You know what I'm saying? Stupid farts and eating ass. Did you eat their ass this week? No, I did everything else, but... Did you look at it? I saw a glimpse of it. Next time, you have to give it a little, like, a little snack. Just, I'm conscious. I was very happy with the
Starting point is 00:19:12 fucking rest of it. Give it a little fucking whack. Just a quick... You have to give it like a... Like it's spaghetti and meatballs. Like, no, just give it a little, just to see. You're going to be in shock. You're going to go, don't smell. You're going to get closer. You're going to get closer.
Starting point is 00:19:25 And you want to satisfy it. And one day when you're eating that monkey and you pop your finger in there, you'll stick that little tongue whine and then it's over. Did you see what happened last night? I was just going to say, thank you so much for that. And Big Jamal and the other fucking guy jerk who signed up for it. It's no guys. You see that this guy named Big Jamal who signed up.
Starting point is 00:19:45 No, it's Big Jamal and Tyrone. one of the two guys his hand up. Where's the other joint lead? You've taken. You smoked it. What the fuck, Lee? No, there was two. Don't be kidding me.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I thought you hid it from me. Lee. Lee, Lee, Syatt. You should. Lee, I'll tell you what's good. It happened. I'll be going to Jitza. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And I ain't going to lie. I go. I do my fucking shrimps. I do a couple drills because I fucking die of being on the floor on my back. I die. I have a hard time. Yeah. And then he teaches his time.
Starting point is 00:20:17 technique and then you practice technique and again everybody's fucking breathing and I'm dying and I do it I do it and I keep going back and I keep going back and one of the kids Mani real cool motherfucker at Jiu-Jitza he trades at John Jockson and he comes down by Usma Valley cool motherfucker
Starting point is 00:20:33 was training me and he goes dog I thank you for the for the honored stuff you gave me because I had some honest stuff in the house I got I gave him I got some other stuff save for a friend of mine in Baltimore that I'm going to bump into in Philly's coming to the show next week in Philly I'm going to bring him some on it.
Starting point is 00:20:48 So he goes, I go, do you really like it? He goes, yeah, you know, he goes, I like that. And protein. It was tremendous. But he goes, I'll tell you what I really liked. I like the shroom tech. Oh. And I go, why'd you like the shroom tech sport?
Starting point is 00:20:58 And he goes, because it gives me more endurance. And that to me is what I'm aiming for. Yeah, because he sounds like someone who trains a lot. Yeah, he trains fucking that John Jackson. He comes down. He trains there at night. That's a lot. And he goes, dog gave me so much endurance of doing.
Starting point is 00:21:10 So I cracked open a bottle and I took him. I did the eupyliptical. Fucking 62 minutes, an hour I did. It was fucked up, and I only smoked pot, you know, and I just went down and I stretched. I did a bicycle for 10 minutes. I ain't got to lie to you. I'm sore as fuck. I'm sore as fuck.
Starting point is 00:21:26 So you know what? If you're looking for some endurance, if you're looking to stretch your workouts. And yesterday, I walked around with the baby. I didn't go to Jiu-Jitja yesterday because it was hot. It was family day. You know, on Sundays, if I leave for an hour and a half, it's not bad. It's not good. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:21:40 I shouldn't have to leave them. I got the whole week in town this week. Let me just hang out with them yesterday, so we did a few things. It was hot yesterday. There wasn't a hundred to do. We drove over. The baby fell asleep. We were going to take a swim in.
Starting point is 00:21:51 My wife didn't really want to swim. So it was just a fucking very avant-garde weekend. So you jumped up and down with the Jews? I jumped up and down. You just drank tequila? You didn't do no exorcism? No, we didn't do no blow, nothing, no heroin. No, I mean, I was saying that I,
Starting point is 00:22:05 I love their band, but the people who go out to clubs in Hollywood are the people I fucking can't stand. It's ridiculous. So. Next time, next time go see them somewhere else. like next time they were in you know they make a stop before L.A. Yeah. So they're Vegas but that's bad too.
Starting point is 00:22:22 But like they weren't, I saw them once in Orange County, which wasn't bad. But, uh, yeah, no, it was a great weekend. Now where were they at here? The Avalon. The Avalon. What's the Avalon? Where's the Avalon? Vine and Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Oh, I know what that is. And it was just a, you just had the Hollywood crowd. Did they jump up and down? Were they doing blow? Hey, well, some of them were on drugs, but I wanted to get your thoughts on something. Uh, there's, they haven't in every. club, but we were standing for a while next to the Bottle Service area.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah. And I notice this at sports games and then every time I go to a club, everyone in Bottle Service looks fucking miserable. They spent $800 on a bottle of Grey Goose and the guy there was six guys. I just imagined what you would say and I giggled. It was like six
Starting point is 00:23:06 guys with wife beaters on and no girls back then they just look sad. It's ridiculous, isn't it? It's ridiculous to see men at a young age go out and think that they're fucking cool as fuck. Yeah. So six guys sitting together with a bottle of fucking,
Starting point is 00:23:21 look at us with a bottle. That is the most pathetic fucking shit. I would never do bottle service. You know, would I sit there with a bottle at my table looking like a fucking jerk off? Yeah. It just bewills me what people do to be. When I go to Vegas, you have no idea.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I was telling my wife and the baby's godmother, I go in three years in Vegas, then I ain't going to wear bikinis. Just going to put a patch on their pussies. Yeah. And everything else is going to, that's it. I've seen it Friday. I saw it.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Girls with nothing on with clothes. And it's not the girls that bother me. They're just dumb, confused fucking girls. Are 20. Woo! Trying to have a good fucking time. Going to a pool party in Vegas. Swimming in that old sperm bat
Starting point is 00:24:01 to fucking sperm and fucking acne feet and steroid juice and fucking people from other country swimming in that fucking disgusting fucking pool. And they're out there with a drink with those fucking drinks in the hand. I'm dying. You know,
Starting point is 00:24:16 I never liked Vegas and I never liked Vegas for things that nobody would ever understand. I had a dear friend on Facebook that went to Vegas in 1983 or 84 and he got busted doing coke in the bathroom. How do you get busted that cameras in there? That's it.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Once I found that out in Vegas there goes my fucking good time. They watch you at every level in Vegas. They have to they have too much to, you know what I'm saying? Those casinos they fucking watch guy. I just don't like it, but I don't like the other side of Vegas. Like you know, I got in the cab Saturday morning
Starting point is 00:24:50 I'm talking about a cab driver and he goes, you know, it's pretty fucking dead here so far Wow And he goes, you know, years ago Vegas had a system You know, it was a $50 flight from LA to Vegas It was a $3 cab
Starting point is 00:25:05 Now they gouge you at every level They gouge you Again, it was $14, $16 for two hot dogs And a soda Yeah, you call me pissed, you're like, How much it's $1? hot dog costs.
Starting point is 00:25:21 How much shit it costs? I'm just asking you. I paid $16 for two cheese slices and a fucking diet Coke. I didn't even notice it if I was eating the cheese slices. That's a lot of fucking money. You know, two fucking... And that's the cheapest you're going to find. It's not like...
Starting point is 00:25:38 You were telling me, what was it? Like, it was bacon and eggs was $40? I hurt my ankle. I hurt my fucking ankle or something in my foot Thursday, Jiu-Jitsu. Yeah? Something. I was fine. I just couldn't walk a lot.
Starting point is 00:25:50 It just bothered me when I walked. What you're going to do a lot of in the fucking hotels? You're going to do a lot in fucking... So I took two leaves and I tried the best I could. So I said, you know what I'll do? I'll check in. I'll go to the room. I'll get high.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I'll relax. I'll put some mice on my foot and I'll get room service. And one of the stays, it was $38 for steak of eggs. $38 fucking. I'll go over here to the magnolia grill where the steak is delicious. Not a piece of fat on it. Too fucking... Bless you.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Look at that. Look at that. Saloo. That's how fucking I'm telling you to chew. for fucking like $16 and they go, $38 fucking dollars. And then they wanted to... I had the money, Lee.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It's not about the money. Not about the fucking money. Okay, when I walked in, I went to that fucking slot penny machine Godfather thing and I won 42 bucks or something like that. Did you really? Yeah, I always do it. I always play the fucking slot machines.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I don't know what I'm doing. But after the show at the joint, a beautiful fucking girl named Christina from Jersey came out of me and Edgar. Yeah. And Becky were there. Oh, cool. And she goes, do you gamble?
Starting point is 00:26:49 I go, no, she goes, I think you should feel lucky. We walked over, I put $10 on 32 Julius Irving's number. Bam, it won, I won, $350. Oh, shit. We know how we do. That's fucking awesome. And you stopped right there? Stop right there.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Oh, I would never stop. I went back to the hole, and I put $40 in the penny slot machine for the Godfather, and ended up winning 66. Jesus. I went to my room and went to bed. Oh, that's how you know you're not addicted to it. I would have gone to every blackjack table. I know the other angle of it.
Starting point is 00:27:20 I've already done through that, where you're up 600, and then you're up to 800, instead of going back to your room, now you go back to your room with fucking 120. Yeah. And you feel like debt. Yep.
Starting point is 00:27:31 You feel like debt. There's two things that make you feel like debt. Doing blow all night and being in a casino at 8 in the morning and drinking. When you're drinking at 8 in the morning, and next one you're thinking you're cool. At that point, you're just drinking because you're such a fucking loser. You just want to kill yourself. And I leave early from the casinos,
Starting point is 00:27:48 and I see that. But I've also been there many a time where it's eight, you want to smoke some of this? It's eight in the fucking morning. And there I am in my living room drinking fucking beer, thinking about calling somebody
Starting point is 00:28:00 or shooting myself. You know what I'm saying? Because you're so fucking depressed from coming down from the blow and you got no fucking buddy to talk to. It's a sad situation part of the party fucking life. But that's it, Lee.
Starting point is 00:28:12 You got some fucking chochie this weekend. You're in love. She's a Spanish girl. I'm proud of you. Yeah. She's great. you want to take care of you. No, no, that's...
Starting point is 00:28:20 Not like this other fucking waspy animals that don't take care of you. They show up with dirty feet. Show up with dirty. No, it's... I felt like it was like the one thing missing from my life recently and I'm happy so far.
Starting point is 00:28:35 You want to broaden your life? Yeah, I like it. I'm not... I've had one night's dance, but it doesn't work out. Either one of us gets feelings and the other one doesn't. I was thinking about it the other day, too.
Starting point is 00:28:47 There's always someone in a relationship. relationship who likes the other person more and that always seems to happen with one night stands and I haven't I've been working too much since I've been here to do it but now I feel like I'm kind of ready for it so yeah I'm I'm happy so far I'm happy for you cock suck it you're still gonna take a fight for the face even with a relationship even if you get married you still this is way and stalled before she let's see things she thinks it's hysterical when you make fun of me so I'm sure I'll be doing it it's not hysterical she she she knows I'm schooling. I'm trying to take
Starting point is 00:29:19 into my fucking wings. You're a savage. I don't want nobody smacking you around. I can't. Let's see how many people have signed up so far because that fucking blew my my mouth. Yeah, people want to help you out, Lee. Help me out. See, these are all the people that hit you up on the website later and go, don't do it. Fuck you.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Everybody deserves a fart to the fucking face. Every time I see one in Los Angeles, I get upset. How many you got signed up so? 27. You know how many were there when I fucking went on there? Two or five. Yeah. So you got 20, people who have thought about and said I'm ready to fart on Lee's face omit the two men yeah and you got 20 fucking people Lee who's better than you there's 20 women out there right
Starting point is 00:29:57 now that are shaving their assholes because in August they know they're gonna come to the ice house on August 14th and watch you get fart in your face one time Jesus like a soldier I can't believe these people oh well we'll try it out let's do it hey Lee listen it's just who gives a fuck you know I'm saying you do you live a little you're gonna do something like you gotta be like If I was a baseball catcher, you have to be like the umpire. You gotta catch a little bit of it. Just to... I'm a...
Starting point is 00:30:23 I'm a savage. I'm gonna put you right nose first into that fucking muffler. So you bump her ass on you're faint. You're probably faint. But that's okay. If my nose touches her asshole, yeah. And then once you fall down in tears, we're gonna have a fart in your mouth a couple times while you're on the floor.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. It's like a ground and ponds. They're just going to be pounding you with fucking asshole hair and stuff like that. Which I'm happy for. You need that once in a while, brother. I'm not sure that I do, but... Oh, who the fuck? You're kidding.
Starting point is 00:30:49 What, you're 20, fucking four years old. I'm not going to sit here and say to you, Lee, the most dumbest thing in the world, Lee, I wish I would be 24 again. Because, you know, look, man, the reason why I got stories, I got stories not because I sat there. Am I proud of these fucking stories? I'm not proud of 70% of these fucking stories I tell, but they happened. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:31:16 and they happened when I was your age. Didn't happen 10 years ago? These fucking stories I tell me mugging a hooker didn't happen at 38. I wouldn't have the balls to do anything at 38. I didn't have balls at 38. I was too cold fucking up. My rawness came from, you know, 12, 10 to 30 or something like that. Then I just fell off like a fucking everybody else falls off.
Starting point is 00:31:43 And that's all I'm trying to say to you. I'm not here to make fun of you or break your. or break your balls but all this craziness happened to me when I'm 24 was 90, you know what happened to me 30 years ago this 4th of July? What?
Starting point is 00:31:54 I got picked up hitchhiking by John Denver. Who does that happen to? Who the fuck gets picked up hitchhiking? Where? By John Denver, July 4th at 1983 while all my buddies were jumping up and down, down the shore at some fucking club, Montego Bay, whatever the fuck they were in those days,
Starting point is 00:32:12 at Manisquan or whatever Shawpoint they were. here I was in Aspen, Colorado, the 4th of July, working. I did something for work that day. And in those days, you went to a place called the hitching post in Aspen, right across from the In-N-Out Sandwich Shop. This is way before. And I robbed that place, in an outhouse. I robbed that place. My buddy from Buffalo, who I seen at the last show in Buffalo, was the sandwich guy there, and he worked for Shlomo.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Shlomo and some other guy, and they used to leave the top window open, so I busted in for 600, 700, This is amazing. But I used to live across the street in this little hotel there in Aspen, down the block from the Aspen Police Station. This is not then. This is a different time. But this time I'm living, I just moved. July 1, I had moved to Snowmass Village.
Starting point is 00:32:57 I was living in Besort, Colorado, which is where Goldie Horn lived, with Kurt Russell and the fucking little girl that you see now. Yeah. She was a little girl. I used to see the Mechanico. At the gas station, Conoco. It was the guys who owned it sold hot dogs, and they used to call it New York Time.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Everything in there was New York Time. Oh, well. Wow, we got a call for me. Oh, shit. Good morning. Good morning, Stefan Kastin here. Is this the man, the legend? No, the, is the man, the guy you like to just like you do.
Starting point is 00:33:30 I love that you're doing this. You have no excited. I've been dreaming of this all weekend because it's like I told Lee and my other friends. It's like, you know those stories where people twist a jar and they can't get it? all of a sudden some guy comes along and pops it like your grandma or something you know that's what you did for me with jiu jitsu that easy by reading one of your emails that's pretty cool which email was that you uh you know you wrote an email i got to say maybe four months ago because i i had subscribed to you uh a while ago and then some reason i don't and unsubscribe
Starting point is 00:34:08 i didn't hear from you anymore and then i clicked on again i know never downloaded your stuff, I just subscribed for your emails because I'm not good with a computer like that. Every time I download something, my computer blows up. Something happens. I got to call my wife in the room, so I just don't. And I read an email about you saying that something about shape, that everybody's always waiting to get in shape or something. And you were right. I had the jihitsu school down the block from my house. It's not like it's in three miles away. I was talking to Matt Serra. When he started jiu-jitsu, he had to drive from Long Island to Asbury Park, New Jersey, like two and a half hours just to train.
Starting point is 00:34:45 This was walking distance from my house. It's a great school. It's a John Jack Machado affiliate. And now I've been there for the third month. And this is all because of reading one of your emails. Well, you know, Joey, sometimes you just got to hear something more than once, right? Somebody tells you to do something. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:05 And then another person tells you to do something, and you're like, yeah, yeah, whatever. and then finally another person tells you and finally click so maybe you're just in the right place to hear that message at that point it's like there's an arm bar that I really like now and I've been shown it so many times and every time I was shown it I was like yeah okay whatever that's never going to work
Starting point is 00:35:33 and so I discounted it and then finally actually it's probably working in tournament I found myself in the position I was like holy shit maybe maybe I can actually pull this off and I did it and the next thing you know the guy's tapping and then I went back to ignoring it again it like I go get it was a one-off fluke ignored it again never trained it never used it and sparring and then the next tournament I went in I found myself in the same position and I did it again and you know lessons repeat themselves until learned well this arm bar
Starting point is 00:36:07 opportunity repeated itself had that it might actually be a good thing to do. So I'm sure other people have told you that you should be training, you should be working out, blah, blah, blah. And so I was probably going to put on the pajamas and rolled around on the ground with grown men. Now, how long have you been involved with this? I did
Starting point is 00:36:36 judo when I was a kid. You know, jih Tijuana was the origins of judo, and then Brazilian jihitsu is the evolution of judo. So I guess I started when I was about 11. One of my favorite martial arts certificates is a note that I wrote to my mom when I was eight and it said
Starting point is 00:36:58 something like it was written in crayon and a piece of paper it's like I want to go judo it is not fighting I want to go now or I will go and strike and I didn't get to go yeah she was a stubborn woman but it took me another three years of working on it and then I got to train at the Hadeshita Doe at the Hadeshita Judo club in downtown Toronto so it I'd start that. So no matter where I went, I started doing Kung Fu, and I started wanting to do
Starting point is 00:37:33 some karate and some other things. It just kept on coming back to the ground. I guess it started in 1997. Do you know Dan Nassanto, the JKD? Yes, yes, yes, just he just received his blue belt or something, or something, Jiu-Jitsu? He just received his black belt at age.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Seventy-7, I think. Yes, something. I heard something. He's a, most associated with much of the child of as well. I mean, the man's a legend in the martial arts community. So even back in the early 90s, late 80s, he was busy telling everyone that you need to be grappling. You know, they're doing the shoot-fighting stuff in Japan,
Starting point is 00:38:22 and they're finding that most fights end on the ground. So that was a statistic. Most fights end on the ground, and that the Gracie's made a name for themselves around with the old Gracie in action VHS tapes. from with Danny Nassanto and he was saying that they're defining in the pancreas events and the shoot fighting events but most fights end up on the ground you guys should be doing this here's some moves we didn't have sort of a big picture i think jih Tijuana really gives you
Starting point is 00:38:54 it's more of a big picture concept right once you understand that there's only so many major positions and some positions they're better than other positions and really if you can fight the positional battle and then along the way there are some submissions that you can throw in and here's some ways to get from one position to the other. We might call them sweeps. We might call them escapes. We might call them guard passes. I think once you get that idea in your brain,
Starting point is 00:39:21 then you can do a lot of the other techniques make sense. You can remember everything that you've learned. And I was just talking to some guy who, you know, they've got a training group in a garage out in the middle of nowhere, in Idaho or something. And it's still making good progress. They're using, you know, the information that's out there on the internet. You know, the stuff that you can order, you can order DVDs, you can order apps, you can subscribe to email newsletters.
Starting point is 00:39:50 And you put a lot of it together yourself. It's a pretty cool time to be doing this. You get your stuff. I, you know, I have a hard time breathing on my back. I have sleep apnea. And just the fact to walk in there, I get anxiety. Just walking in them. so for me
Starting point is 00:40:09 all those years I loved watching it you know I love I will sit there for hours and watch Marcelo Garcia and Shinyaoki and I would say man if I ever get reincarnated I want to come back as one of those guys and I join kick you know I've always been like you
Starting point is 00:40:27 I've been involved in martial arts I came from Cuba but again it wasn't popular 30 years ago kung fu and karate were Ikeido it was a few Ikedo guys Judo's always been big in Cuba and all that, but I wasn't even a judo guy. I didn't like any wrestling. I played basketball and football. So for me, it was very foreign.
Starting point is 00:40:48 And here are my friends, I'm going on road trips with these guys, and the whole conversation, they're talking about Jiu-Jitsu. So I would watch it. I knew what they were saying, but it was so distant to me. And, you know, it's amazing how even those guys made it seem like it was sign. In life, people always make things seem. like there's so far away from your grasp. You know, in this country right now,
Starting point is 00:41:12 we all suffer from obesity and everybody's overweight, but they always seem like the solution is so far from your grasp, but it's so very easy. And for you to simplify it for me, I read all your emails. If I'm on the road and I get an email from me, I save it, and I read it because I've already learned from reading your emails. Because if I read them before,
Starting point is 00:41:32 I didn't know what the fuck you were talking about. But now that I'm doing it and I'm in there, and I'm trying to, you know, pass his guard. And, you know, for a big guy like me, side control was great. And it's so interesting for me. It's like I'm starting a new thing. I think about it when I'm driving now. A lot of things seem a lot bigger than,
Starting point is 00:41:53 and a lot scarier until you start doing them, right? How do you eat an elephant one bite at a time? How do you, when I was, I'll talk about this in a non-jigreezy context, when I was in my late teens and the early 20s, I did a lot of canoeing. And I wanted to do some big trips, right? I read about, you know, the voyagers who used to travel all summer long and live out in the bush.
Starting point is 00:42:20 That sounded really cool. But, again, it sounded completely outside the realm of possible. But, you know, you start going on trips with friends. Then you start going on the occasional little one day, then you start going by yourself. Then you start going on a two-day trip or a three-day trip by yourself. And then, you know, you work up to it, And eventually, next thing you know, you're traveling across the country by yourself.
Starting point is 00:42:45 And if you tried to jump from zero to hero, all in one big giant leap, you'd fail. So the important thing really is to get started. And I think that so many people get stuck with getting started. That's why I think in jih Tjitsu, the hardest belt to get, hands down, isn't the black belt, isn't the blue belt, isn't the purple belt, isn't the brown belt? It's the blue belt. So many people never get started. and so many people get started
Starting point is 00:43:11 and they never make it past that initial one or two months of difficulty. Like the first one or two months in Jiu-Jitsu are bloody difficult. Oh, my God. I find myself... Well, it's not as hard as, you know, because I've been kickboxing the last year and I get on the epileptical.
Starting point is 00:43:30 I'm always doing something. So it hasn't been like I walked in there 300 pounds from day one and dying. My cardio's bad, but what makes it bad is that I have anxiety so when I find myself out of breath I feel like I'm going to die
Starting point is 00:43:47 and I got to get up and take my belt off and my gaitop off and breathe but you know the first week I walked in there I got to tell you I had never done sides you know uh shrimps before you know I had never done that before and I probably did four of them and almost had a cardiac arrest
Starting point is 00:44:03 but now three months later I'm doing half the size of the room now And I do them in front of the TV at night. I do the regular shrimps and the reverse shrimps. I do them in front of the TV. And I'm starting to do the other little drills by myself. And now when I'm home alone, I'll get on my back, and I'll get in the guard, and I'll kick my legs around.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Just little things, because I know everything helps at my age. You know, I love to be able to go in there five times a week. But you and I both know in the beginning, I would die. I would lose after. His hardest classes are Mondays and Fridays, because the black belt comes in and he does like this madness before it of cardio and jumping up and down
Starting point is 00:44:43 I'll do those I've been to them the problem is I can't do none for four days afterward so it defeats the purpose you get older and your body isn't used to doing that yet it takes longer to recover and it takes longer to get in the shape to do that but let me ask you about the anxiety thing do you think because this is interesting
Starting point is 00:45:04 do you think it's fear about getting tapped out because that's where a lot of people get stuck, right? They feel anxious because they don't want to get caught. They don't want to look like an idiot. It's more of a social thing, really. Or is it something else? No, it's something else. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:45:23 The best thing that happened to me is going into Jiu-Zitsu as a 50-year-old is that first time I got on stage in 1991 I sucked. Mr. Kay, I sucked. Sucked. I had an idea what was going on, but I sucked. And it took me two more years to get on stage. And once I did it, you follow me? I know that if I keep going, I'm going to get better the same way I improve the comedy.
Starting point is 00:45:49 With comedy, I dedicated everything I had to it, and I got on stage every night. If I have the same desire for Jiu-Jitsu as I had for comedy, well, now I have the understanding that the more I go, the better I'll get. You know what, I could do a thousand jumping jacks, and I could hire a strength interval coach, I can do all that. You and I both know Matt Time is the most important thing in the world, and I know that from comedy.
Starting point is 00:46:12 I could mind-fuck myself and read Gene Perrette's book on how to write and get a book and learn the arm bar and get the gracey combatives, but you know what, at the end of the day, there ain't nothing like getting on that man and getting your ass kicked. And as far as getting tapped out,
Starting point is 00:46:27 I'll tell you what, Mr. Kay, I don't give a fuck. Because that's what it's all about. Every time I get tapped, I'm going to learn something. I got tapped last week, and I left there and I go, how the fuck didn't I comb my hair on that move? What the fuck is wrong? I know that move. You comb your hair and he can't choke you. But, and I learned it in the car. I realized that was I was starting my car, sweating like an animal. I'm like, he just choked me because I didn't put my arm up.
Starting point is 00:46:54 So. Well, it's a good thing because it puts it back in your power, doesn't it, right? Like, you had the ability to block it. It wasn't something that happened to you or something that you let happen to yourself. It's the But just getting up on, I guess in your case, getting up on stage again and again and again and again and again And you're going to get better
Starting point is 00:47:12 Oh my God You're going to get better. Mr. Kay, I don't know if you understand How bad it is the bomb I'd rather get fucking choked out Okay, because when you get choked out You get choked out on the corner by yourself It's not like a competition
Starting point is 00:47:26 I'm just getting choked on the corner When you die, you die in front of 80 people And then you got to get off stage and walk past those people That is debt. That is the worst. How often does that happen for a professional comic? Like is that once a week, once a month, once a year? Because life works how it works, you never know.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Look what happens Saturday night with Anders and Silver. Okay, he went in there, fuck him. That's where I was going to go. Right. He went in there messing around, blah, blah, blah. But no, the more you do it, it's like jujitsu. The more I go into that class, my percentage is, are getting tapped, they're going to get smaller and smaller and smaller.
Starting point is 00:48:06 I'm always going to have that 20% that some kid could catch me, because you could always get caught, but you learn to control that. As far as the bombings, sometimes you go up there and you just go up there too cocking, and if you catch yourself, you could flip it around and win them over. It's like losing the first two rounds of a fight and then turning it around the third round. sometimes Mr. Kay you just die the first round and you just keep going
Starting point is 00:48:34 I.E. Roger Gracie, it didn't get no better for him the other night. Yeah. It didn't get any better for him. All the props in the world for getting in there, but it just wasn't his night. It wasn't his night. If you'd just know the backstory on every fight,
Starting point is 00:48:50 you know, what was going on? These people who get in there and they don't perform and everyone says, oh, they're bums. Throw the bum out. Well, you know, you don't know if the guy was sick. You don't know if the guy had a horrendous weight cut and just came out of the sauna for 12 hours.
Starting point is 00:49:08 You know, you don't know if he just got a, you know, and his mother just died, got him. Or he's just cutting off day. You know, it's funny with the sports teams. You know, I don't follow baseball that much, but if the Yankees lose a game, no one goes, they're over, they're done, put a fork in a fighter
Starting point is 00:49:30 you'll lose one fight they're like okay that's it he's done let's find the next big thing it's very interesting I am really a fan of yours on what you're doing for Jiu Jiu Jitsu sometimes you get an email
Starting point is 00:49:47 from somebody and it annoys you I can't wait till I get any when I wake up in the morning I got an email from Mr. K K every you know what I'm saying something about Jiu Jitsu some stuff I understand last night I was watching an old one about conditioning with the ball for a bridge and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:03 This is all helpful to people. This is very helpful. This is what you're doing is the Lord's work for guys like me. You know, I'm 50. I'm going to stick this out with Jiu-Jitsu. I'm going to go every month. You know, I try to go twice a week. This week I'm going to try to go three times.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I have the ability to go tomorrow and Thursday and Friday night. I'll take Marcello Madness, and then I can just relax Saturday and Sunday. I know it's going to build my core, but I already feel every time I go I get stronger on the outside I feel that it's making my comedy stronger
Starting point is 00:50:36 it's making my personality a little easier because I'm conquering another one of my fears do you know? Traveling, do you get the chance to go and train at other places? Because that's a really interesting experience too. And I think because really when you start with a bazillion jihadistice,
Starting point is 00:50:58 in a sense, you know, your teammates and the people you train with become your family. Like your extended family, like those weird uncles and stuff, you like meeting. But you're also entering into a larger family because you really can travel around the world and go train at different places. And yeah, occasionally there'll be an asshole. Occasionally I get to a club and it's a training, you know, a jihanna club,
Starting point is 00:51:24 and it's a toxic environment, a bunch of meatheads, who, affliction shirts. But most of the time, most jihitsu clubs, they'll look and you with open arms. If you're traveling and you get the chance, try dropping in at other clubs. You'll get better and you'll meet some really interesting people too. I got to tell you something, that. Like, I just went to San Jose with Lee. And the whole week before I was going to go up there, I was going to pack my ghee and I was going to go to AKA and do the 11 o'clock beginner ghee class on Thursday.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I had radio, so that messed it up. I was just, I couldn't do it. But then I found out that guerrilla jiu jitzu had left AKA. And he opened up a school, five blocks from the improv, and he was having a class on Saturday. But at that point, I didn't bring my ghee. And I was also, I'm still kind of embarrassed about my breathing, you know, on my back.
Starting point is 00:52:25 But I'm sure I would have learned something if I got it. I just picked up another ghee last week. I had to buy shing guards, and the guy gave me because I'm an A6. You know, so geese big thing, they try to get rid of A. sixes so he gave me a deal. So I'm going to travel with that guy. That's only be my traveling gie. In fact, I drew it in the wars this morning.
Starting point is 00:52:45 So, yeah, that's, I wanted just to do, you know, I was very fortunate, UFC a couple years ago in the back at the backstage of the comedy show that I was doing when I got out of stage, Marcelo Garcia was there with Eddie and Matt Sarah. So I got the chance to
Starting point is 00:53:01 pick all three of their minds, you know, a little bit, and you know, Eddie's very pro, no ghee, and And Matt Sarah broke it down. And I have, you know, like I said, I have people. I can't wait to go to Baltimore this year because John Rollo's there. He's a, he's a Gracie affiliate down there. And I remember Matt Sarah saying to me, he goes, you know, anybody who walks into my school, the first 90 days, got to have a ghee on.
Starting point is 00:53:23 After they get the first stripe, they're allowed to go to a no-gee class. But I want them to get the basics with the ghee. You have to feel the key. It's a little slower. Again, I'm 50. I've never done it before. So I wanted to learn straight up. I knew that I didn't know enough to walk into 10th Planet.
Starting point is 00:53:41 So my next step was there was a school that opened a block away from me that the black belt was a John Jock Machado black belt who was also gave Eddie Bravo his first black belt. So the basics and the foundation would still be there, so later on when I would get ready, I could go to 10th Planet. So what I mean... I think it was Eric Paulson, all the grapplers who, you know, who are worried about getting injured
Starting point is 00:54:07 could they got a day job or whatever. They should mostly do GE. They should do a little bit of no GE, but if you do with the GE, you get a slightly overcrowd, often. You get a little bit less, you know, you get less of the young crazy guys that can explode in some flying dynamic heel of, and crank your leg and injury, possibly. So I've never trained a 10th planet.
Starting point is 00:54:32 It sounds like it's a pretty good training environment, but I say in general, The training with the ghee is just a little bit more sedate. You get a few, I'd say, less injuries on average. And maybe for an older guys, it is a better place. It's going to get all these angry emails now from 10th planet guys. Sorry, guys. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:54:55 That coolest. Because what I do do is there's a 10th planet affiliate in Van Nuys run by Alder Hamfield, which he's a great guy. And he does his school. I go up there on Wednesdays and do a private with John Salami, who's one of these black belts. But he also received this first black belt with a ghee. So he likes training both, and he likes the ghee.
Starting point is 00:55:16 It's his birthday tomorrow, is 46. So he's an older gentleman also, and we work together on Wednesdays for an hour. But the beauty is that in Van Nuys Tenth Planet, Alder has fundamental classes, no-gee classes. But Tuesdays and Thursdays, he has a G-Class. It's Tenth Planet, but with a G-Class. This is why I like that aspect of,
Starting point is 00:55:39 of his school up there. So I've been going up there once a week and I tell you, you're absolutely right. You know, the school where I go to now, VMAQ, has three instructors, one black belt and two purple belts and I get a different flavor from them every time I go.
Starting point is 00:55:56 I really do. It's very interesting and then now the flavor I get from John Salami, I'm really enjoying this. And then the emails from my man, Mr. K, I'm putting something together here, you know what I'm saying? When Canada lets me in, I'm coming to visit. Trust me, when Canada lets me in to do a comedy show,
Starting point is 00:56:14 I'm coming to your beginner class on Saturday morning. I mean, ultimately you've got to put together your own game, right? Yes. It's not going to look like my game. It's not going to look like Marcelo Garcia's game. Unfortunately, I would love my game. Oh, me too. Be a carbon cop here.
Starting point is 00:56:33 But the reality is it's not going to be. I've got a different body. He's got injuries. I've got injuries. You've got injuries. and they're not the same injuries, right? You've got strengths, I got strength, and he's got strengths,
Starting point is 00:56:45 and they're not necessarily the things. We think at different rates, and, you know, that's really, one of the cool things is how it becomes eventually, like, you know, you spend your first year or two learning the basic techniques. Whether you're doing it with the ghee, without the ghee, doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Here's the stuff that you've got to learn. And then, so we'll say roughly to Blue Belt, which is the first belt in Brazilian jigsian. And like I said, it's the hard. And after that, you start, you know, building and developing your own unique game. And I'm sure that when we talk again in a couple of years, you're going to have, you know, a game that's adapted to your body
Starting point is 00:57:28 and your mentality. And it'll be really a personalized game. You're a beautiful. You have your own way to pass the guard. You have your own way to choke me out, all that kind of stuff. It's such an interesting. I never did it before. And like I said, you know, when I was growing up in Jersey and New York, it was kung fu, karate, judo.
Starting point is 00:57:52 There was no Brazilian jiu-jitsu. This took over. You know, when I came to L.A. It was the first time I really started hearing about Brazilian jihitsu. And then there's a lot of Armenians out here in Russians, and they teach regular jiu-jitsu. But, you know, talking to Joe. Joe was the first guy that really pounded it into me. Oh, you should go.
Starting point is 00:58:11 At that time, I had other things on my mind. Jiu Jitza was the last thing on my mind, but it's very interesting. And for something to sweep me off my feet like this at this age, and it's helped my stand-up. It's helped me all around. So how can people get a hold of your stuff, the downloads and the apps? I've got all kinds of apps and DVDs and online training programs, but really the best thing you do is just to go to grapple arts.com
Starting point is 00:58:44 and sign up for the email newsletter. If you don't like what you get, you just unsubscribe. It's either. The link at the bottom of every single email, click on that, and I'll never send you anything ever again. But if you don't do that, I'm going to send you all kinds of cool stuff with links to, you know, things like my YouTube videos,
Starting point is 00:59:02 and there's a ton of YouTube videos out there that I've done, or things to, you know, various interviews and podcast techniques, apps, all that sort of stuff. I think the central hub, would really just be that email newsletter, which is grapplerch.com. I'm glad that you're getting value out of those emails and the links that I'm trying to send you to. You know, man, a lot of people make the mistake of knowing at all,
Starting point is 00:59:35 and I'm not one of those guys. I don't know at all, so I got something to learn, I read. That's the easiest system. You read and you apply it. I wanted to tell you something. You know, I go to a kickboxing school, great school, great, Movie Thai America, great coaches, great teachers. And when I walked in there, I don't have to tell you, I couldn't last around.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Not around. Just throwing punches in the air. I would keeled over. And now I do the whole class, you know, and he has me warm up the crew. And this is my eighth month ago in there. But before I did two years of one Hopwindow, and like I said, I loved martial arts since coming from Cuba. But there was a kid in there.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Again, was a young kid, and I've been watching him. And he was a black belt in Taekwondo, and he wanted to take kickboxing. because he wants to fight. And we were talking one day, and he went over to VMAQ and joined the Jiu-Too program. And he was going to fight. He was going to fight. He was going to fight.
Starting point is 01:00:27 He was in a fight. But I heard when I went over to V-MAC, I never saw him anymore. And he told me one day that, you know, he got choked out a couple times, and his feelings got hurt. He wasn't used to the... He had never really experienced that before.
Starting point is 01:00:43 And I could see that happening to me at 20. I could see something like that happening to me like quitting, getting my shit together and going to a different school, not going back there. At 50, I see getting tapped as I'm going to learn something. So when I walked in there, Mr. Kay, I knew for a fact that I had the right attitude. I'm really going in there to get in shape.
Starting point is 01:01:05 That's my number one thing. I know if you do that three times a week, that belly will go away. You cut out the sodas, that belly will go away, you know? So that was the reason I walked in there, really, was to get in shape and maybe learn a few arm bars and stuff like that. I don't want to fight. I don't want to choke nobody out in real life.
Starting point is 01:01:25 I just want to do it to get healthy. And that's the final result. People's the reasons for training change over time, too, right? Like, right now it's to get in shape and maybe to challenge yourself. But maybe ultimately it's going to be because it makes your comedy better or because you decide to compete or because you decide. decide that there's some other goal. I know when I started martial arts years and years ago, like most young kids, I wanted to
Starting point is 01:01:54 be able to take care of myself. I wanted to, you know, gotten a fight. I wanted to be able to lay down. I wanted to not lose. And, of course, that's still important years and years later. But really, if after almost 35 years of martial arts training, you can't do that, you're doing something wrong, first of all. Now my reasons for training are have a change in a vault.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Mostly it's because it's fun. It's because it's a good workout. You know, yeah, you can go to the gym and you can... Why not lift weights and do partying the same time? Wall on the ground to your friends. I mean, what do do do? A birthday party before you know what all the boys and some of the girls are rolling around in a big puppy pile.
Starting point is 01:02:52 What are grown adults do when you're having fun like that? The kid who used to train that doesn't anymore, One thing a lot of people have problems with That's under-acknowledged, I think In jihitsu, pretty comfortable We're all comfortable talking a range of two to three feet You and I having this conversation We'd be sitting two or three feet away from each other
Starting point is 01:03:27 If we were doing it If I come up to you and I'm like three inches from your nose And talking to you, you'd start feeling weird And I'd peeking out a little bit from the claustrophobia And it's something that can be It can be overcome I mean you can argue about what percentage of fights end up on the ground,
Starting point is 01:03:54 and I think it's pretty high. But I'll tell you, a gigantic percentage of the rapes, medical contact, and if that intense physical contact with somebody that you don't know flips you out, your brain just turns off, right? You're hyperventilate, hold your breath, your brain shuts off. So I think it's learning to deal with that.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Some people are doing convicted. No, no, I understand. I even consider my daughter. once he gets older, learning jiu-jitsu. Because you got to, you got to learn. You got to learn. So how can they find you? C-R-A-P-L-E-R-T-S dot com.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Now what's your book called to download the big... Well, part of what I'm trying to give people with that series of emails that you're talking about, there's a book called A Roadmap of Brazilian J-Jitsu, and it just lays out, this was the stuff that I was all those years ago. You're doing it start. You know, it's like a...
Starting point is 01:05:27 It's not the hot for easy to get to. Mr. Kay, thank you. This is Stefan Kesting I'm talking to. Thank you very much for calling in. I'm a fan. I appreciate the emails on what you're doing. Your ambassador for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you savage up there in Canada.
Starting point is 01:05:55 And when I do get up there to do a show, I will contact you and hire you for a private or roll around something. I want to learn something from you. I'm going to do it, Joey. Thank you so much for having me on the show. Thank you very much, sir, for coming on. I appreciate you. Have a great day.
Starting point is 01:06:12 It's really cool when people like that call. And I didn't know those he was calling in today. That's cool. Listen, man, I just want to pass the people. I want to pass the people who have inspired me. And sometimes people don't know. It starts with an email. How do you get connected with him?
Starting point is 01:06:26 Because he's in Toronto. It sounded like that. Yeah, I went online and I was thinking about beginning jujitsu, so I wanted to see what I was getting myself into. And his thing came up, and I subscribed for the emails. Oh, that's cool. I think you know him from like comedy. Oh, you just started talking to him online.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Online, yeah. But I thought he was very interesting, you know. and that's it. I just want, you know, in life, people always seem, they make you seem like what your goal is is so fucking distant. It's like another fucking planet.
Starting point is 01:06:55 You know, it's anything from a diet to lose. Look, you lost 70 pounds. Was it hard? Yeah. Did you fucking kill yourself? Did it die here? Did it change you? Yeah, you learn little things about yourself, you know?
Starting point is 01:07:06 Women are hitting out for you and you're handsome. You got some gel on your hair. You're like born of Miss Collins and fucking 83. So listen, man, whatever you want to do, play the guitar, you know, whatever, play the drums. People always say that, well, it's hard. Everything's fucking hard. But it gets a lot easier. The more you do it, the more you try, and you never know what the result's going to be.
Starting point is 01:07:26 So don't ever let anybody scare you away from your fucking dreams. That's all. That's why I got this guy on that, because it's one of my dreams to learn Jiu-Jitsu and the beat. I don't want to be a black bottle. I don't want to be on TV. I just want to learn to fucking breathe and to just be normal and go and have some place to go three times a week. where my life's not surrounded by comedy and women and my kids and, you know. Is it getting easier?
Starting point is 01:07:49 Fup, no. Yes, it is. I'm lying to you. Yes, it is. My breathing is coming along. And what do you mean breathing? Like, Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:07:58 You know, from the reefer and the cigarettes and the sleep at me and the weight, you know, it all piles up to one. I'm sure if I lose 80 pounds, my breathing will get better. And this is why I go to Jitsu, so my breathing gets better. It seems like I got a minute and a half. Jiu-Jitsu in me, but it used to be 10 seconds when I first went. Yeah, you just broke an hour on the... On the elliptical. Yeah, it used to be like 45 minutes.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Oh, my God. I was stuck on 35 minutes forever on the elliptical. I was fucking stuck on it, but I kept going, you know? And sometimes it pains me, I feel like peeing. Whenever I have anxiety bad, I get to pee. You don't have no idea. There's sometimes I have to run off the mat and go take my gear off and pee. And I have to breathe and I see spots and shit.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Yeah. Yeah. Kick in the door, bro. A little big guy. I got to go to the back room real quick. And people. Talk to these people. Okay, yeah, I'll talk about Hulu. So we're still brought to you by Hulu Plus. The girl was over here this weekend, another girl I've been seen, and she loved South Park. And South Park is on Hulu Plus, and so is 21 Jump Street.

Starting point is 01:10:58 on Twitter and fucking Facebook. We're sick and tired of waking up early. It's all over. We want to switch it up in the afternoons. We're doing two live fucking podcast in August, August 14th, and August, like 28th. We're doing a live one at the Ice House,
Starting point is 01:11:11 July 31st. So I'm in Philly. From the 18th to the 20. You ready for this shit, Philly? Then the following week, the 25th and 26, I think I'm at the Ice House with Don Marrera, four shows.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Oh, cool. Then that Wednesday, I'm at the ice house again with Lisa I had. Hopefully that's the... We're not going to take the fart to the face on the... We'll take the fart to the face August 14th. That's always a good date to take a fart to the face. You know why?
Starting point is 01:11:32 I have a doctor's appointment. No, you don't. You know why? Because August 15th is the anniversary of me doing time. So when I got subjected to the fucking six years in prison. What does that do with me taking a fart to the face? I want to celebrate the right way. I want in the fucking back room to pee.
Starting point is 01:11:46 I open up the door and there's your room. Change it. And the whole time I'm peeing. I'm pissed off. I should open up the door. five minutes earlier. I would have seen a fucking shaving a monkey or something. She's got banging fucking body.
Starting point is 01:11:57 She really does. I should stab me in the fucking eye. You missed that on that. Grupo. I'm so fucking stone. Oh, that ankles, like, just licking that little fucking monk, wow. You wouldn't know what head of you, sick bastard you. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:12:14 What else is going on, Lee? Tell me something good. I was, when you were talking to Mr. Kay, I was thinking about it, what do you like what do you think about because i was thinking if musicians have a bad concert they're kind of like you talk a lot about like you can turn on an audience around with like that's sometimes that's sometimes but like they can do like i was saying they like the band i went to see closed with like a fan favorite like in people get mad at comedians for doing old jokes like do you ever like wish you could be like a musician and do like your greatest tits and like still tore around or when do you get bored or?
Starting point is 01:12:50 I can't do the same fucking jokes, bro. Yeah. I got to switch that shit up. I don't know what the fuck. I don't know what the fuck they're talking about. I have a hard time with that. So if you went around for, if you were like... The Testicle Testaments, I would have 3,000 stories and switch them up every night.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Yeah, yeah. You know, I don't know what I'm going to fucking say until I get there. You know, with comedy, I have an idea, but not really. I might go into a different tangent. You see it. Yeah. So, that should have doing the same. fucking set every night, seven nights a week
Starting point is 01:13:18 you could suck my dick. Something interesting has got to happen to you that you can talk about on stage. It's getting shaken down on the plane, losing a wallet, something. When I go see a comic a year later, and he's got the same jokes, I get sick to my fucking stomach. Especially if he's a friend of mine, because something's had to happen.
Starting point is 01:13:35 You know, there's some days I write and there's some days I don't write, but something always fucking happens that you could talk about. Right or wrong? Something's got to happen that you could put a twist on, you know? So, that's basically where we fucking stand today. You follow me? We had a great call.
