Starting point is 00:06:40 That's it. Four more days. By Friday morning when you wake up, you're going to hear fucking jingle bells and shit like that. And it's still, I think it's still November the following week, like half the week, but by fucking the ninth, once you hear John Lennon, it's over. You might as well get the presence,
Starting point is 00:06:58 and there's no fucking presence. The supply chain is fucking closed. I had to go to Philadelphia for fucking, close to this fucking town. Me and my wife the other day, like an hour drive to get Pokemon fucking cards. And when we walked in, nobody even knew they were there.
Starting point is 00:07:14 We're like, when we get the Pokemon cards and all of some people fucking swarmed us, they came from everywhere. We want Pokemon cards? We got it? Because they hide those. motherfuckers. But it was a great weekend. I had a fucking great weekend. Listen, man, I used to have these high, fucking grandioso weekends, like a flight, a big dinner on Thursday, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:38 fucking around with Dean or Kate on Friday, and then this huge show or playing. There was so much activity on the weekends for me. And now it's like there's two activities, like three fucking activities. I hang out. I drive them to whatever the fuck they got to do. We had a little bash Friday night. This neighborhood is like very Friday nights. It's very, it's the same people do the same thing. And thank God they do. Listen, I lived in L.A. I don't know how many years. I knew 20 fucking millionaires and they never opened up their home. And here the people are not millionaires. They're just regular working blue collar fucking people. And it's like every Friday they invite us over.
Starting point is 00:08:24 They have pizzas. They cook a little something. We sit. We bullshit. The kids have a basement. They run around in. It's a fucking different world. You know,
Starting point is 00:08:35 and it's just nice. You know, Saturday night, I did not watch the fucking UFC. Thank God I wasn't. Sometimes when you watch the UFC, you're like, this is great. but sometimes you're like, it's Saturday night. I should be out lighting my pubic hair on fire or some shit, you know what I'm saying? Like something should be fucking happening here. But, yeah, like this week I was fucking ecstatic.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I didn't make it to my high school thing on Thursday night. I had to work. That was a shame. I called a few people and apologized. My high school teacher went, which was cool as shit, you know. So I called him and we talked. a little while, Mr. Barone, and I didn't make it Thursday night, but Saturday I wasn't doing shit. Saturday, I took mercy to kick by. I did what I had to do around the house. I had to
Starting point is 00:09:27 clean some shit up, the fucking leaves. Jesus Christ, listen, man, I've never, I haven't touched leaves since I was a fucking kid, guys. I'm sore right now. It's not from jumping rope. It's not from hitting a bag. It's not from lifting weights. It's not from walking. My fucking shoulders and my hurts from fucking raking fucking leaves i had the gun out to raker i have never raked leave i haven't raked leaves and i haven't done physical fucking labor let's just let's just settle back on that i haven't done physical fucking labor in a long goddamn time and i look forward to it it's not like you know i mean i'm a little scared with the knee i'm not picking up fucking pallets of bricks and shit like that but physical labor me just have been not enemies but i just haven't been around it you know for
Starting point is 00:10:14 years what i worked i remember being in snowing Mast Village. And even though, this is the creepy thing about me. Like, even though I was a thief and I was robbing, I was robbing drug dealers and in Snowmazz Village, I was very focused on my life. Like, I always wanted to get ahead a little bit. On the legit side. Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:33 Like, you always want to at least try. You don't want to be a fucking donkey and just give you a life away to fucking being a thief. I at least tried. I took classes. But one of the things I did, I never talked about, I pieceworked painting. that is a fucking nightmare. They wouldn't even pay me like an hourly rate. Like they would take a room like this and say, hmm, 65 bucks.
Starting point is 00:10:56 This is what you get. You get 65 bucks for this fucking room to paint it. That's the trim. That's taping. That's the windows. That's the whole thing. So you have to look at it and go, okay, how do I make money on this? $65 fucking.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I'm going to try to make $20 an hour. So I'm going to try to get this job done in three fucking hours. You try to become an estimator in your head, like, you know, like a fucking labor guy. So you're like, I got to get this done in three hours. How am I going to attack this? I'm going to fucking tape the moldings. I'm going to tape the door. I'm going to tape all the fucking handles and shit.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'm going to do it thoroughly and just hit it. And, you know, once you're painting and you hit the fucking, once you hit the corners and shit, the other thing is all open paint with a brush, you just smike right through it. So I would look at something and go, I need to get this done in three fucking hours for me to. make a fucking profit you know what I'm saying so I would jump in it I did all that shit I used to fucking shovel snow for a living do you know what that's like without a fucking plow and listen I signed up for it when I was I took a bus one day to the supermarket and I had like a lot there's a lot of seasonal work in Aspen and snowmast and I saw a sign snow shovelers 1250 what are you
Starting point is 00:12:08 fucking getting me cash every fucking Thursday or you get paid daily that's I love getting paid daily I love it. That shit about waiting two weeks for your money. Go fuck yourself. I work today. I want to get paid today. But the way life is, you've got to wait two fucking weeks. So I don't even know what I was talking about. Who the fuck? The guy's name was Joe Coffey.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Good fucking white dude. Good fucking white dude. When your name is coffee, you're all right. Good fucking dude. And I lived in C-12. He lived in C-12. You know I never bust my ass. I would walk over a building, knocked on his door.
Starting point is 00:12:48 He'd give me two shovels and an ice breaker and a bag of fucking icy, whatever the fuck that is to break up the ice. And I'd just break up ice. Like they would come all with the plows and shit. And I would have to do all the sidewalks, you know, like they have those gutters, that drip and shit. You got to break up the fucking ice. And he would pay me fucking daily.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And I love all that shit. I've never been a lazy person. And I used to work six fucking seven hours shoveling snow. I get out there at fucking. fucking eight in the morning. Break that shit up. Take a little smoke break, a little fucking refa break.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I love work that, listen, there's a couple different type of jobs. There's like the jobs of the serious. There's the jobs that you might go somewhere in. And then there's the jobs that you could do for 30 fucking years and nobody would even give a Frenchman's fuck about you. You ever have those jobs?
Starting point is 00:13:37 Like, nobody gets a, you know, like a landscaper. You don't move up as a landscaper, you know, unless they hire a Mexican dude. and then you're on top of him because you speak English. You know what I'm saying? You never move up as a fucking laborer. You know, as a mason.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I worked as a fucking mason outdoors. I like outdoor work, but I have not done it in such a fucking long time. I mean, I rate for like two hours on Friday and two hours on Saturday because the guys are coming today. If you drive on my street, there's piles of fucking leaves. Well, I'm not putting bricks in those fucking piles. And the other night, I was driving, right? I was driving back. and I saw a big pile of leaves
Starting point is 00:14:15 and I'm like maybe I'll go through it and right before I went through I go maybe they got some crazy kids like I was in the neighborhood when I was a kid I put bricks in those fucking I put bricks in those motherfuckin's leaf piles we did it
Starting point is 00:14:28 just fucking perfectly Charles Court was a circle it was not really like whatever the fuck you have at the end of this yeah it's not a coltisac it was actually a circle there was an
Starting point is 00:14:43 island in the middle with three houses and you would have to go around it. It was the perfect block to fucking lay leaves on a motherfucker and, you know, to fucking torture people. After about 8.30, the street would die down. There wouldn't be that many people on the street. It would just be people driving that work in the city coming in. So we would take a 12-inch block to fucking big blocks and built like a Pink Floyd mini wall. Like for midgets, it was just a little wall for midgets to take a hop over. We wouldn't put no cement and not like that. We'd just put like two layers of bricks and then we
Starting point is 00:15:16 pile the fucking leaves on top. So what we would do is we leave one thing of leaves. We'd have like two piles of leaves so they could hit both of them and go, oh, this is fun, right? We can hit these fucking leaves. Now they're coming up to the third
Starting point is 00:15:32 one. That's where the brick wall is at. Bab boom, once they hit that motherfucker they would get out, we'd be in somebody's backyard behind Bush is howling, the guy looks around, fuck you. He would always like whoever it was. There was always a guy, like an older guy that would hit him. There wouldn't be women out at that time.
Starting point is 00:15:50 And then what we would do is we would put like more piles and he would go around them. And then the third, so there would be basically nine piles and three stacks of bricks with two openers that there's no bricks. So once you pass by him, there's no bricks on that one. There's no bricks in that one. I'll hit this one, boom, and that's when you're fucking car hits the fucking wall. I, you know, I did all that craziness. I can't do it now.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I mean, I'm 58 years old. I would love to fucking do it now, but I can't. That's just the way life is. But anyway, we're talking about physical work. I don't know. I don't know. I was thinking about maybe loading trucks or something. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Listen, you could do all the lifting you want. When it comes to work, those are complete different muscles. Trust me, I'm telling you. I don't care what job you do. I don't care if you do 2,000 fucking pull-ups a day. If you get a job sweeping the next day, you're going to go, Jesus fucking Christ, I can't even fucking move.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I got to do shit like little by little. Like I can't even dive into something. Like the leaves the other day, I can't dive into that for eight hours. I got to break into that fucking slowly. What are we doing here talking about fucking leaves? Who gives the fuck about leaves? It's fall.
Starting point is 00:17:03 They're supposed to be fucking leaves. This last week I was waiting. I love that. movies. I've always, I don't know if you guys know the relationship I have with fucking movies. I love them. You know, you look at your life and you go, wow, how did I use movies? I think I used movies as a form of therapy when I was a kid, you know, like I just, when I wanted to check out. And that was true even when I was a young man, 21, 23. I love matinees. I loved waking up in the morning, knowing that there was a double feature somewhere.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Like Rick Ramos, you know. I don't know if you guys remember Rick Ramos. He's a dear friend of mine, comedian from the comedy store. Him and I did Weight Watchers together. We were Weight Watcher partners. We've known each other for over 20 years. When it comes to movies, he was a fucking, I mean, he knew everything. It would make me feel bad when I spoke because I considered myself a movie buff.
Starting point is 00:18:13 until I talked to him and he would just shoot me fucking down at every, you know, he was just that knowledgeable about movies. He was a movie buff plus too. If you're into fucking movies, you should be listening to Rick Ramos
Starting point is 00:18:30 and following Rick Ramos. I mean, I follow him lightly now, like I see what movies he does and I go, Jesus Christ, that dude pulls up two good fucking movies every week. And if you listen to his podcast, He really explains him. Like he explains him.
Starting point is 00:18:46 He knows who the DPs were. He knows who the fucking, uh, he knows who handled the cameras. He knew the stuntmen. I mean, this guy would say shit to me that would fucking, the only movie he don't know about is Rust. You know, nobody knows much about fucking Rust. Everybody's sitting there waiting.
Starting point is 00:19:05 When they're going to press charges on Alec Ball when that cock sucker. I like that. Even Trump fucking threw a, to this day. love Trump for what he did to Alec Baldwin. He said arrest him. He's got mental problems and shit. I guarantee Alec Baldwin's like I should have never done that Saturday live thing.
Starting point is 00:19:22 And he kept doing it. It came back to haunt him. Trump is calling all his buddies, DOJ, everybody. He fucking locked that motherfucker up the Rust Shooter. But I was talking about movies, you know, and I was really... We took a fucking hit with the pandemic. And I tell you who took the biggest hits was fucking movie theaters. I had no idea, guys.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I had no fucking idea. And I'm not a big fan of the big movie chains. I can't stand those motherfuckers, the AMCs and all those, especially after what I went through with them, with the fucking screening. Like, they just shut me down from every fucking direction. They weren't even nice to me. They weren't even nice to me.
Starting point is 00:20:05 But the whole movie theater experience bothers the fuck out of me for this reason. And I love movies. this is like a catch-22 you go to a movie you go to entertain yourself you know you go to break away from life's fucking bullshit you know
Starting point is 00:20:22 you get into the movie theater okay whatever they charge for a movie 8 to 12 bucks sometimes 15 I don't know it is what it is you know I'm saying inflation life has changed you know I used to pay two bucks from movies
Starting point is 00:20:35 that's a long fucking time ago Uncle Joey you know what I'm saying get your life together it's a long fucking time ago so you know you go to the movies you pay you're 15 you don't give a fuck you walk up to the thing you know and you know they want ten dollars for a soda and a fucking popcorn that tastes like ass that AMC popcorn is so fucking bad that's the worst shit you could fucking eat in the world
Starting point is 00:21:00 make popcorn at your house make real popcorn at your house see how it fucking smells and then go to AMC and smell that chemical-induced fucking coma of chemicals they put in there. Look at the fucking butter they give you. It's like a little fucking milky butter. That ain't butter. That's a butter supplement to some shit they put in there, like a butter.
Starting point is 00:21:21 And then that, you know, the whole time, like, I'm not cheap. And I understand that if you came to me right now and said, Joey, I want to sponsor your podcast. I've had friends come to me and I go, listen, you want to sponsor the podcast, these are the prices. You know what I'm saying? They go, some people go, ouch.
Starting point is 00:21:35 And some people go, that's, That's the price. That's just what it is. They don't try to fucking negotiate or whatever. When you go to the movie theater, you know, you don't have a chance to negotiate. You don't want to be fucking Johnny fucking Jew. You know what I'm saying? You don't want to fucking go up there and tell the guy I'm not paying $8 for a small popcorn.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I'm going to give you $750 and start arguing with the guy. So you pay it. Guys like me just pay it. You pay the fucking Vig and you sit down. But after you sit down, you open up the raisinets, they're fucking stale. You know, the raisinets are fucking old. stale. That's my go-to with raisin-hats. I love fucking raisin-hats.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And, you know, I don't eat the popcorn because it tastes like ass. You get the Diet Coke or the Coke fucking zero. Or you make your own soda. They have, like, the machines that you press and shit. And that's all great and dandy. But when you walk the fuck out of there, you're minus $30,
Starting point is 00:22:27 $35 for a movie. And you're like, what the fuck did I do? That's why these people that complain about these movies at home, like, oh, they're too much money. Think about what you spend when you actually go to the movies. So what goes out to be a good experience turns out to be this experience like you got fucking reamed.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I know that's the way I feel when I go to a fucking movie. And I never felt that way. I told about way before Mercy was born, I was doing a podcast, and the lady made me watch two movies. I've never done a podcast like that. But I didn't care. I needed to go watch movies.
Starting point is 00:23:03 It was like a Disney movie and some other movie. I picked a Disney movie. I went down to the movie theater in Hollywood. Like, I forget what the name of it is. Fucking great movie theater. You pick your seats before you go there. I think they're going out of business. They file for something.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I don't know what happened. But you go down there, you get your seat, and they got fucking food, beers. They got great. They got a great fucking chicken sausage. Apple chicken sausage with this dressing on a fucking bun. Delicious. I took my wife. No big deal.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Now, I had like a $20 bill. I had like maybe $2.20s and a $10. And I had $100 bill when I walked down to the movie theater. We walked. It was like three blocks away. I went inside, ba, boom. We got whatever the fucking sausage sandwich, you know, Uncle Joey. I fucking went to the movie theater.
Starting point is 00:23:55 The movie theater was enjoying it. The movie was great. It was like a Disney movie by New Orleans and shit. I got home, and when I went to empty my pockets, I sold the $100 bill was missing. So I went to the movie theater. with $150 fucking dollars and I came back with like
Starting point is 00:24:10 $50.00. I'm like, I spent $80 at the movie theater now again, I'm not cheap, but $80 at the fucking movie theater for two fucking people. That's a lot of dough. Compared to where I came from, two movies for a dollar, you sit down,
Starting point is 00:24:26 the floor is sticky, the chair don't go back, but nobody gives a fuck. Every once in a while you hear somebody go out from a mouse biting them on the foot. No big deal. Those are the movie. movie theaters in Harlem. That's what you went,
Starting point is 00:24:38 went out to, you know, so I got home that night and I'm like, this is fucking trapp. 80 bucks. Not in boycott movies. I'm not one of those
Starting point is 00:24:47 fucking faggots that's going to get mad. You know, it's just a, now you have to decide what movies you want to go see. Is it in your fucking budget? You know, like, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:24:55 there's a movie in my fucking budget. How embarrassing is that? A movie used to be five bucks, $3 for popcorn or soda and you're fucking, but now they don't, what you pay at the door, Goes to the fucking movie people.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Whatever production house shot the movie. The profit that AMC and all those other movie theaters make is on that fucking popcorn. It's on that fucking sausage sandwiches. So I get it. I understand how business works and I don't, you know, I don't want you to. Listen, I make a profit.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Mike makes a profit. We all try to make a profit. But when you're fucking denting me, a lot of people are not going to go back. That's why people watch these movies at home. It's like I was getting to it. This week I wanted to watch this King Richard movie. Yes, I'm a Woolsmith fan.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I'm a fucking Tom Cruise fan. I'm a fan of all those fucking people. I like to watch their movies, Brad Pitt. I like their fucking movies. I like their acting or whatever. But this movie had a special thing with me because it's about a dad, raising two girls. It's about the William sisters, who I really fucking like.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I mean, I think they're both savages, Serena and Venus. I have a little crush. on the one that's always on TV. I get them confused, Venus. She's on fucking every goddamn commercial before Black Lives Matter. So whatever racism, whatever does not apply for the Serena sisters, those chicks always have 10 commercials on TV. Watch a sporting event.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Watch a sporting event. Before fucking halftime, you'll see fucking Venus hitting the fucking ball. She's eating Cheerios. She's hanging out with Tony a fucking tiger. So whatever people always go, oh, There's not enough black African Americans in commercials. You don't hear Serena saying that shit because they've been fucking giving her gold since day one.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And it just seemed like a nice story that I didn't know. I thought they were from Florida. Years ago, I don't know if you guys remember Anthony Edwards had a show on Animal Planet about pets and shit and I had to do it. I got a call. Do you really into your cat? Do you want to go on Anthony Edwards show? So I went down there.
Starting point is 00:27:04 They hired me for the fucking day. and something happened on one of the cameras. I mean, it was a great shoot. Tiffany Haddish played a gargoyle or some shit, like a gargoy that talked. Like, you know, she played like a co-host. Anthony Edwards was great. He's the guy from Blackish for a lot of you people.
Starting point is 00:27:21 We're not great friends. I did his show, and he's a stand-up, and he's also a fan of stand-up comedy. So I went over, and something happened on one of the cameras. They had a set-up. So it was just him and me sitting there like two idiots. So we started talking, you know, about different situations. I always thought he was from New York,
Starting point is 00:27:37 but it turns out he was from L.A. He was from right there, fucking Compton. And he was telling me that he, I don't even know how the Venus and Serena came up. He was telling me that he remembers being a kid and going, walking past the courts where her father would be coaching the two little girls. And like they had a, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:58 he just said this to me. They had a fight off like gang members, people would try to rob them. But the dude just believed in his two little girls. and I just thought that was a great fucking story. So when they were doing a movie, I was like, Jesus Christ, Will Smith, two little girls, I watched it.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I was excited about it. You know, I was like, how am I going to get to the fucking movies? And then I saw it was coming on HBO Max. I was like, Jesus Christ, that's fucking great, you know, so I watched the movie. I fucking enjoyed it. You know, it was great movie. You guys know me. I love all that shit about dads and stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I didn't think it was an Academy Award winner, but I thought it was a fucking good movie. You know, I read this morning or yesterday morning that they got booted just like the many saints in Newark. They fucking released on HBO. Warner Brothers did the same thing and you got the same result. They ended up both making $5 million at the box office. So I didn't feel that bad. I didn't feel that bad about the Sopranos.
Starting point is 00:28:55 This is a really good fucking movie, King Richard. But that's the thing. I only made $5 fucking million. But it did great at home. A bunch of people watched it at home. I watched it at home, so I count as the fucking minority mutt because I didn't have time to go all the way to freehold and watch a fucking movie.
Starting point is 00:29:13 But I enjoyed the movie. It takes a lot of work to be a fucking dad. And either you're on or you're off as a dad. You know, we can't have them both. You're either on or off as a dad. You have a dad that is 100% you or you have a dad. that, you know, dad's got to work, man. Dad's got to put money on the table.
Starting point is 00:29:42 A lot of you guys are younger and you have a new modern house with a new modern outlook. When I was growing up, it was just, you know, men went to fucking work. Men went to work every day and men worked hard. And women were in charge of all the household fucking thing. So as a child, you saw your dad on the weekends and at night when he beat the
Starting point is 00:30:11 fuck out of you for the stupid shit you did that day or whatever. I'm just making jokes here, but you know, I know a lot of people today that have gone into therapy because of their dads. I have a friend who his father was a little bit on the whatever side. So his dad, he had to go to therapy over it and find out what it really was. You know, a lot of people did not really appreciate the household. I have a dear friend that, you know, after it was all set and done, years later we went out to eat one night and he was telling me about his house. And I was like, like, we were eating dinner.
Starting point is 00:30:53 It was a bunch of friends. And after the dinner, I had to pull them aside and go, listen, I don't have parents. So for you to say that shit about your parents that didn't pay attention to, and shit, it's fucking bullshit. And with dear friends, and we almost got into a fight, we had to get pulled apart because he felt that I was insulting him,
Starting point is 00:31:11 but I wasn't. I was just explained to him that you're actually going to therapy because you didn't think your dad did a good job with you? I mean, I know your dad. I grew up in your house. I went to your house fucking,
Starting point is 00:31:25 you know, 10 times a week. Your dad was old, but in his world, he thought his dad worked a lot of hours and shit like that. That was the gayest thing I ever fucking hurt in my life. But I understand. You know, I understand some people.
Starting point is 00:31:41 This is why part of me didn't really want to go on the road when I moved here. Mercy's getting through an A. Listen, in L.A., she was a fucking 8-year-old, up to 8 years old. She was a fucking kid. She's going to be 9 in January and a big 9. Like her mind is fucking big. She hears everything. She knows a lot.
Starting point is 00:32:03 She asks a lot of fucking questions. questions. She's the type of kid that I could see Mercy coming to, like she did. She came to me two years ago and said, listen, I need for you to stay home a little more. You know, I need you at the house a little more. Mom needs you at the house a little more. So I could see Mercy being one of those whiny cock suckers that comes to me when she gets older and said, you know, because kids are like that, you know. I went to Penn State. I did all these great things, but you were never there to be my father, you know, and that bothers you. That does fucking bother you. And I know a lot of you feel that way.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Think about it. A lot of you feel that way. Maybe you have an older brother. You feel your dad spent more time with your older brother, whatever. I've always, I, you know, guys, for me, since I was 17, I couldn't wait to have a fucking family. I just couldn't wait. I just couldn't wait to be a dad. I look at Mike.
Starting point is 00:32:55 I look at Mike. You know, Mike's a dad. He's got two kids. I knew him before he had kids. But it's just so crazy. Mike is a dad now. When I talk to Mike, yeah, we talk about music and his open mics and shit, but we talk about being a dad. He knows what it is to be a dad, and he welcomes it.
Starting point is 00:33:15 You know, I get a lot of slack from people. Every once in a while when people get mad at me, they fucking attack me, and they attack me at a low end. They'll say to me, ah, well, look at you, you fucking ran on on your daughter. They say it to me that fucking hurt me. I'm a lot smarter than that. That shit doesn't bother because I did not run out on my daughter. I just tried to give us both a better life and that's the only way I knew how to do it
Starting point is 00:33:39 but now I'm confronted again with having a daughter and I'm stepping up to the fucking pump that's why I watched King Richard I wanted to see what he was doing different if he noticed in King Richard John Bernthal's in the movie John Berndthal plays the tennis coach in Florida
Starting point is 00:33:55 that they go to that was Steffie Graf's tennis coach and shit fucking great movie and I spoke to Berndthall about it like that's why he had the mustache in the soprano scene because he was shooting this movie at the same time there was he had a go from one set to another but the interesting thing about the movie that john told me that they got to talk to you know his father and john did a lot of research on the father and he goes you know the father was fucking crazy he was crazy he raised him a crazy way
Starting point is 00:34:31 the way he pulled them out of the pro-am and the summer leagues and all this shit but he did it all to make a statement sometimes you have to make a statement when you're on the rise something that a lot of people don't know is this is why I was always a big fan of Peter Grant Led Zeppelin's manager because he did what was best for the band
Starting point is 00:34:51 I got into the entertainment business and I've been around fucking managers and agents and I got to tell you something out of all the managers I met over the years I've been doing this for 30 years in the comedy game. I don't know the music game. I know the comedy game.
Starting point is 00:35:06 There's three really good managers working today. Three really good old-time managers working today. I don't even know how we got on this conversation. But the rest of them are fucking shit heels. It's just like they're not. And when I look back at these managers, the thing that they're lacking is commitment. commitment is everything
Starting point is 00:35:32 you know commitment is everything when I was Jackie's father I was just her father I was going through the motions I'm honest enough to say this when mercy came alone I'm committed
Starting point is 00:35:48 my commitment isn't her why because I know if I put a little bit of effort into her if you put 60% effort into your kids you're going to get 30% effort back.
Starting point is 00:36:02 They're not going to fucking take all your, you know what I'm saying? They look at you. I see it with kids now that are older than mercy. When I go to games and stuff, I see how their parents talk to them and how they react to their parents. You get 60, you get 30% effort back
Starting point is 00:36:17 from your fucking kids. They can't put what you told them together. So, fatherhood, to me, I had to study because this is what I wanted to do. I didn't just want to be a mediocre dad. I didn't want to be a 50% committed dad. I wanted to be all in. But to be all in,
Starting point is 00:36:36 I couldn't do all the other activities I was doing. Let me tell you some guys. I'm coming towards the end of this taper, and I focused everything on marijuana for this tape, and it's been great. I've been sleeping with the edibles. You know, the weed calms me down at night. I only smoke one joint out,
Starting point is 00:36:56 but I can tell already in about a year or two. I'm not going to be able to fucking smoke. Because every time I smoke, dog, even with the freeze pipe, my lungs bother me later. Like it's, but it's not my lungs. It's not the freeze pipe. It's my mind playing tricks on me.
Starting point is 00:37:13 All right, my mind likes to play tricks on you. Because then it connects what I'm feeling to COVID. It's just, listen, guys, some people smoke pot and they get paranoid, right? Some people smoke pot and they fucking eat 22 fucking bananas. I smoke pot and fucking my mind play because that's the level of reefer I'm at right now. I'm at the 40-year mark.
Starting point is 00:37:36 You just don't get high and sit there and eat Doritos anymore. Now, your fucking addiction or whatever the fuck you call it, your reefer changes, things that you do on reefer. I don't get bad. Like, I went out to dinner Saturday night. My friends are like, oh, my God, I smoke pot and I fucking, you know, I got so paranoid. I couldn't cope.
Starting point is 00:37:56 And I tell them all take C. B, D, whatever. I'm not up to that part in my pot smoking. I'm to the part in my pot smoking career now that the reefer goofs on me. Like the reefer goofs on me. I smoked the fucking reefer, and next thing you know, I got COVID.
Starting point is 00:38:10 It's like I used to have that joke because it's true. I used to eat edibles and forget I'd eat them. And I'd always go, I think I got diabetes. Like that was my goat. I got diabetes. I got diabetes. I would go to the doctor the next day and say, I think I got diabetes.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And he would ask me to talk. He would have asked me to tell him why, and I'd tell him to go, get the fuck out of my office. You don't have no fucking diabetes, but that's what the reefer does to me now. It makes me feel like I got COVID. My point is I can tell already that I won't be smoking like two or three years because my mind won't let me. My mind will shut. It's like, when I eat something, I'm not supposed to eat now. My body's like, that don't taste good.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It tastes like shit. Later on, I'll go, it didn't taste that fucking bad, but I just my body can. can't deal with it no more. That's all it is. You all grew it. I can't go get a fucking baconator now. If I ate a baconator, I'd fucking die on the spot. Like, I've never eaten a baconator. I don't even know what a baconator is. My friend said he had to stop on the way home and get his wife a baconator. So I knew it was something fucking not good. It's like a double cheeseburger. Yes. Oh my gosh. And the bacon, like Lee always eats bacon on his hamburgers no more. Thank God. Lee likes bacon on everything and he
Starting point is 00:39:24 would get mad at me. How come he don't put bacon on your hamburger? Dog, because they give you fucking third world bacon. It ain't even fucking. Every fucking bacon, everything I've tried that they put bacon on has like fuck.
Starting point is 00:39:36 It tastes like you got the cheaper. You don't use Oscar Maya Seneca cut. If you're going to wrap fucking bacon with something, you got to use Oscar Maya Seneca. That Puerto Rican bacon that they use, people use the stakes, those burgers.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I went to Burger Brothers one day and I got a burger and it came with bacon. I don't eat burgers or bacon, but I forgot to tell them to take it off. I took the two pieces. of bacon off I threw him to the side and after about half the hamburger I looked at that bacon I go let me just taste it it was fucking god awful god awful it tasted like the bacon they gave Jesus before they put them in the fucking in the tomb of debt it was fucking terrible what are we
Starting point is 00:40:13 talking about it I don't even fucking I didn't even put I put in like one bet last week that's so fucking weird how I gamble I don't gamble like a lot of people that's why when I start a sports betting service I don't think I'll have a lot of customers. I really don't. The style of betting I do is the style I bet and I do is fucking for fun. It's 25 bucks and it's for fun.
Starting point is 00:40:37 So I really got to like some a lot to fucking bet. So I don't like a lot of things. I don't bet baskets because it's a fucking nightmare. You'll get killed. So it's just football for right now. That's all I got. I'm not going to fucking I don't bet unless I fucking have to
Starting point is 00:40:55 yesterday I think I put no bets in. I didn't bet like that. You know, it doesn't mean I'm the type of guy I got a really, really, really like something. If I see something, I don't like losing. I'm one of those motherfuckers. I don't like paying the bookie.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I worked too hard to be giving a fucking book money every goddamn week. So that's just the way it is. But no. The other thing I did this weekend, that was pretty interesting. And I didn't know I hate making fucking plans. I really fucking do. Like I said earlier, I didn't go to my,
Starting point is 00:41:29 high school reunion and I felt really bad about it. But with my anxiety, when I make fucking plans, like as the date gets closer, I get fucking anxiety about the situation. So yesterday was really nice. My brother Mike, whose wife died, called me a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:41:51 And he was like, hey man, I think I'm going to come up for my birthday. I'll keep you posted. Maybe we go out to eat or something like that. And I said, sure. lot. Out of all my friends, I've really, uh, he's not even a friend. He's a brother, Mike Ronnie.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Uh, good guy. You know, my wife and daughter understand my love for him, you know, especially my daughter really likes him. My daughter likes anybody who helped me as a kid. Like, she wants to meet all my friends that were around me as kids, you know, so it's kind of nice. So she always takes to Mike so Saturday we didn't have shit to do I did some stuff in the daytime and then we were just sitting around
Starting point is 00:42:40 we were going to go to a party Saturday night Mercy had a party at one of those places where you fucking jump on rubbers and you know swing ropes you're like fucking Tarzan Jr. I like going to those things but sometimes I don't you know
Starting point is 00:42:55 but these people that were going to have it were really fucking cool I like the kids I like her I like him. We were supposed to go to dinner with them last week, but we had to change plans. Nice fucking people. So my wife goes,
Starting point is 00:43:08 you're going to go at 5.30. I'm like, absolutely. You know, I'm going to go say hello, watch the kids, eat some fucking pizza. Everybody has pizza. So we were sitting around. I was cleaning up in the office and my wife comes in and she goes,
Starting point is 00:43:20 you have a visitor. I got to visit it. And when I looked, there was Mike Ronnie. I'm like, what's up? What are you doing here? I told you, I was thinking of coming off from my birthday. I wasn't sure, so I didn't call you.
Starting point is 00:43:33 But I'm in the mood. So he, his ex-wife, his wife died, by the way, and it's tragic. His ex-wife passed away last September, but her family lives 20 minutes from me. So his father-in-law is in the hospital. So he wanted to come up before Thanksgiving. They don't think he's got a lot of time left. But I guess he went over there and he had plans with them. whatever, but something went wrong, so he had nothing to do.
Starting point is 00:44:04 So he goes, fuck it, I didn't want to call you. I just wanted to stop up and see the house, whatever. So it was kind of nice. I mean, I usually don't like, I get mad at people when they don't call and come over, but I didn't give a fuck. When it comes to Mike, he'd do whatever he wants, you know, and he came in, we bullshit a little bit. I go, what do you want to do?
Starting point is 00:44:21 You know, and I said, listen, I'll take it to El Nito. You know, just me and you, we'll go get a quick bite if you want. After five, it opens. We go at five, so we don't. you know, we don't have reservations or whatever. And he said he really wanted to go to a place up north. He goes, I really want to go to this place because me and my wife used to go to this place.
Starting point is 00:44:41 It was my wife's favorite place and his day. He was telling me what they would do. They would go there for birthdays and anniversaries and the whole fucking deal. And I was like, you know, man, if that's what you want to do, that's what we'll fucking do. I'm not doing anything.
Starting point is 00:44:58 You're my brother. I know he's struggling. You know, so I said, better yet, let me make some calls and see if I get some other ones of our buddies to fucking meet us. So my buddy, Stink, came along with us, and Mercy's Godfather said, I can meet you. I get out of work, and he works right there. So this all went down at 4,000 30.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I mean, just how I like it. No plans, no reservations, no tuxedos, no bullshit. We smoked a little bit, and I got my car and I drove them up to Munaki, New Jersey, a place called Segovia. And it was great. I parked on the street. We smoked a little bit. We went into fucking Segovia.
Starting point is 00:45:42 It was, they'd take no reservations there, which fucking drives me crazy, Mike. When you have no reservations, that means I'm going to wait outside for now. So that was the biggest worry I had, so I shot up there. Even Mike who's got a heavy foot was like, fuck, Joe. Jesus Christ, 90 on the turnpike. I go, fuck it. It's wide open. Who gives the fuck?
Starting point is 00:46:05 We got up to Munaki in like 40 minutes. We got up there like a five motherfucking 40. And as soon as I pulled up, there was a fucking line at the door. I go, God damn it. And it was cold out. You got to wait outside. I mean, it wasn't like penguin weather. But still, you're not comfortable.
Starting point is 00:46:22 You know what I'm saying? You're not getting bit by mosquitoes, but you're not fucking comfortable. So, as we're worried. walking towards it, I was there in March with my brother George. We went there one day for lunch on a whim. He had to deliver some art there. So I go, I'll follow you, we'll deliver, and then I'll go eat with you. I got to paella you last time.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Not bad. And we were sitting outside. It was a nice fucking day out, but there was a door on the side, and I saw the waiters going in and out of there. So I fucking, I walk out with Mike. And as I'm walking, I go, Mike, look at that front. fucking line. God damn it. Shit, we're going to be here
Starting point is 00:47:05 for fucking ever. It's going to take us an hour to get a table. I said, I got to get to the son. The owner has a son that bartends there, and we're kind of friendly. His name is Anthony. Good fucking dude. I go, I got to get to the son. I got to... So I saw the side door, and I go, Lord,
Starting point is 00:47:21 please let it be open. I go, all right, fuck it. So I run over. Mike's like, where are you going? I go, Jimmy just checks out. Sure enough, I open up the side door. when it's to the bar. So I go, Mike, come on, come this way. He's like, no, no, we're going to get caught.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I go, Mike, shut up. Come on, there's no, what are the kids? This ain't a fucking high school principal. Come on. So we walk into the side door. I say hello to the bartend. Hey, how are you doing? Good to see her.
Starting point is 00:47:45 It was fucking backed. And I cut right through the side. And there was a lady with a fucking, with a pad, and taking reservations. This line was all the way out to fucking Munaki Street. I mean, this fucking line was long. I cut through everybody. I saw, I go, she goes, how many?
Starting point is 00:48:04 I go four, Diaz, Jose, and all of a sudden the owner popped up. He goes, hey, good to see you. I said, good to see you. I gave him a hug. And I go, you know, we've been coming here for fucking 40 years. 40 fucking years. So we all sat down. We got the table.
Starting point is 00:48:22 My buddies were there on time and shit. And here's what gets interesting. The first time I ate at that place was, May of 82. I was at my friend's house and his dad and his mom went to eat there and they brought it to go bag. And I went upstairs to go to the bathroom
Starting point is 00:48:42 and I saw it to go bag and I thought it was Chinese food. I thought it was steak on a stick. When I opened that fucking bag, it was a filet mignon. That was two inches. It was beautiful. Charcoaled.
Starting point is 00:48:53 I cut a little piece off when I ate it. I'm like, holy shit. So I went downstairs, I asked my friend, where'd your parents go? It's fucking. he told me this restaurant Segovia and Munoaki Dogg I didn't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:49:04 I was gonna rob a jewelry store I was gonna rob somebody but I was going to Segovia the following weekend and I don't know who the fuck we robbed I think I robbed some fucking refrigerators from this
Starting point is 00:49:14 appliance store I worked at in Fairview, New Jersey and Richfield Circle I fucking got like 200 bucks it wasn't even that expensive I didn't know what the much it cost to eat there and whatnot
Starting point is 00:49:27 I took a girl there to eat Holy shit. This girl let me suck her tities. We were in high school after. We were in high school. She didn't let me have sex. She didn't go to North Bergen. She went to a school like in Union City.
Starting point is 00:49:42 I had kind of like grown up with her. I knew her. And we bumped into each other and we reconnected and she had a car. I didn't have a fucking car at that point. So I said to her, hey man, you want to go to Segovia?
Starting point is 00:49:53 I always had kind of a crush on. Nothing ever happened. I think we swapped spit after a basketball game in the eighth grade one time. and I took her to Sagovia. I don't even know where this girl is anymore. I don't even know what her fucking name was.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I just know she was Cuban and she was hot. And we went out there. And, you know, when you're fucking 18, you take somebody to a carpet joint, they lose their minds. You're going to get a hand job. You're going to get a little tit job. And we're young.
Starting point is 00:50:18 You're not going to get a piece of ass because you're both 17, 18. But you're going to get something. You know, I didn't take her out there with the, with any, any, I didn't think, I was even going to get to first base with this fucking girl. Look at me. 58 years old, still talking like a kid.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Fucking first base. I didn't think I'd get the first base with this shit, but we went to Segovia. I got the fucking surfing turf. I tip big. I was acting like fucking John Gardi. I was like 18. I had my little polyester shirt on and shit. And after that, we went somewhere,
Starting point is 00:50:53 and I think I sucked the little titties, and I fingered, and I was all hot and bothered. But then she went back with a boyfriend, the story of my life, you know what I'm saying? They always go back with the fucking boyfriend. But now we just sat down and we had a great fucking meal and we just talked about how fast this had passed us.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Like high school was fucking so slow. You know, when you get out of high school and you go to college, it's a little on the slow side, but man, once you get to like 26, I don't know what the fuck it is, but time starts flying. I don't know if it's kids.
Starting point is 00:51:33 I don't know if it's getting married. I don't know what it is. But we all came to, I mean, every guy at that table last night, we've known each other. I'm 58. I've known everyone on that table for 45 fucking years. All of us grew up together. We know everything about each other.
Starting point is 00:51:53 I'm having Thanksgiving at one of their homes. I mean, you know, this is, it's just amazing. sit there with friends that you've known for 45 fucking years. We talked about ex-wives, ex-girlfriends. It wasn't really a remember-when type night. It was just, we're just talking about our lives. You know, who's eligible for retiring? You know, who's just got surgery?
Starting point is 00:52:23 Who just got double-hit replacement? You know, one of my friends got double-hit replacement. My other buddy lost his wife. my other buddy. It's just, guys, pay attention to your lives. Pay attention to your life. After that dinner last night, I couldn't wait to jump on the mic here today
Starting point is 00:52:42 and tell you, I think the most important thing I've ever told you guys was what I learned last night. I went to dinner with four guys. We all had problems growing up. We all came from different type homes, you know, some of us, two of those guys, three of those guys at the table. last night came from blue collar homes one of them came from a little better of a home but
Starting point is 00:53:07 you know man we came to the conclusion last night that this is fast the last time all four of us were together at that restaurant was February of 93 that was close to 28 fucking years ago and I got to tell you something it went fast the last time I went to do that with those guys at that restaurant, I was basically getting into comedy. They were just giving me the blessing. I had been doing comedy for two years in Colorado. I was coming back to New York to get my life together.
Starting point is 00:53:55 And I ended up, you know, doing comedy for nine months and coming back. That was to kick off dinner. When I went to dinner with like eight of them, those four guys were there. and we ended up getting thrown out of there we got so fucked up we must have had 20 pictures of sangria we had a deal not to do blow before the food came
Starting point is 00:54:17 we didn't listen we just went fucking crazy and started doing blow and the guy asked us to fucking leave I mean we were tipping them all night but we were so loud our table was so loud we were tipping them all night we were getting louder and louder and louder and louder and then the funniest thing
Starting point is 00:54:35 the guy came over and he goes guys you know I love you I know you guys are great customers You've been coming here for fucking 10 years You gotta wrap it up People are complaining People are looking over here at the table So we all get up I don't know
Starting point is 00:54:48 There's maybe 10 of us We all get up And we're walking out And I got a buddy who's At the time God rest his soul He's not with us anymore He was crazy I mean we were all fucking crazy
Starting point is 00:55:00 And I was selling Valium at the time I was a Valium salesman I had like 200 Valium Zom That night And I was giving them away at the dinner table. People falling asleep. It was fucking, it was just a wild night. And I'll never forget that as we're walking out,
Starting point is 00:55:16 the waiter comes out with two fucking pitches of Sangria. And he puts them on our table. He goes, wait, where'd you guys go? And as we'll leave him, my buddy goes, Roger Holloway, goes, guys, there's more fucking sangria. He yells fucking in the restaurant. Again, everybody looks at him. He goes, where are you guys going?
Starting point is 00:55:36 and we're like, Roger, we got to go. They fucking asked us to leave. You know, we didn't get thrown out like 86th. We got asked to leave, you know, nicely so we could come back. It was one of those. They were that nice. We tipped heavy. They didn't want our 86s.
Starting point is 00:55:52 So Roger went back. He goes, I'm not fucking leaving without drinking. Those things are $16 a piece. And I'll never forget. He went back to the table, took the picture from the guy's hand, didn't even pour in the glass. Just started tipping it back. It's a hundred people. this dining area.
Starting point is 00:56:07 50 of them were looking at Roger as he's drinking this fucking thing. And he puts it, he goes, ah! He lives out a little burp, and he looks around, and he sees a table with, like, you know, four parents and, like, four kids for, like, young girls, and he walks over to the table, and he goes up to the head of the house. He puts a picture in front of him. He goes, here, you finish this. Knock yourself out, you bad motherfucker, and he goes, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Starting point is 00:56:35 And he just turns around the whole house. table's fucking looking around. Everybody's looking at us, and that was the last time we were fucking in there. So we were talking about that last night. When we were sitting there, we're like, oh my God, the last time we were here, I hope they
Starting point is 00:56:50 don't fucking remember. And sure enough, Mike opened up when the owner came over and the son, and he's like, we were coming here since before you were born. The guy's like, I'm 40. I'm going to be 40 next month, and Mike's like, we were coming here before you were fucking born, and he's like, you're right. We've been coming here since May of 81, and we started
Starting point is 00:57:06 giving the fucking guy on here beat and they had a great time and then mike's like i remember when there was a bar on that side and they're like how did you know there was a bar the owner the owner's son was like that wasn't a bar on that side then the owner came on he's like tell him what you told me because there was a bar on the other side that nobody knew about it was very tiny and when the owner walked away he's like he didn't know that i used to go into that room and snort coke by myself and shit and one night he caught me he didn't fucking remember so thank god he was he was he fucking remember he just let us go they picked up around the drinks
Starting point is 00:57:40 we fucking ate and you're not gonna believe this we were home by 9.30 We were home by 930 and one of the guys had to go to work at 5 o'clock in the morning, stinky and he kept telling me that all night. Guys, this is all good for you but I gotta go to work at 5
Starting point is 00:57:58 in the morning. I got to be up at 4 in the fucking morning this guy's a fucking supervisor at UPS done great with his life this guy has worked at UPS for 40 years. He doesn't remember. I told him last night, I go, we went to that job application
Starting point is 00:58:15 together. We went to Paramus. They had like a center where you went just for UPS to sign up for fucking, uh, to sign up for work. They interviewed both of us. He got the job. I didn't. It was 11 to fucking two. UPS 1981.
Starting point is 00:58:32 He's been there for 40 years. He's like, I'm eligible to retire. They want me to go. But I'm not. going because I'm bored to death. I don't know what else to do with myself. He goes, he has seven weeks of vacation a year, two of them with his wife, the other five.
Starting point is 00:58:45 He goes, I don't even take. I don't even take him. I get paid, yeah, because he goes, what am I going to do with my fucking time? I have no friend. I go, bro, that all changes this fuck. I would love for all these guys to get retired. So we can hang out and maybe start a bowling league
Starting point is 00:58:59 or something like that, get a bowling league. But this is it, guys. You got to welcome this shit. Like, the last couple weeks I've been thinking to myself, Maybe I feel bad because it's a midlife crisis. You know, maybe I feel bad. Maybe my anxiety is up. You know, but usually a midlife crisis, you dump your wife, you fuck a 21-year-old, and you get a Corvette.
Starting point is 00:59:19 I looked last night. I still got the fucking Subaru out in the lot, you know, so it's not a mid-life crisis. I don't know what this is. It's just, it's the final step. And the other night, with dinner with these guys, help me understand that. I'm going into the last phase. I'm walking into the last phase of life and I'm enjoying this.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I'm welcoming it. I feel good. I'm going to go to Jiu-Jitsu today. I'm going to Jiu-Jitsu a couple times a week. Now I'm switching. You know, guys, I had a little moral inventory last week and I got to switch my phone. The last two or three weeks,
Starting point is 00:59:56 I've been thinking about how I've got to switch my life around. My life has become very stagnant. And I'm very, I'm the type of guy that looks at that shit all the time. time when I become stagnant I don't like it. So I'm going to switch some stuff around. Personal stuff. I'm going to switch some fitness stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Like, I put too much fucking, I put too much into the gym. I got to start switching around a little bit. I got to start balancing my gym, jihitsu a little more, my health stuff. And I got to start, you know, I write with Erica. I want to wish her a happy birthday. It was her birthday this last weekend. You know, I do, I'm writing a book.
Starting point is 01:00:41 with Erica and that's a couple hours a week we get together. Not to mention I got to outline on my own because my memory is not that good so I got outlined two, three days beforehand. So I'm putting work into this but something's still missing. I need to fill some fucking gaps
Starting point is 01:00:57 and the next couple weeks that's what I'll be putting together. I want to overall, I want to overhaul the Patreon a little bit and switch it around. You know, I was thinking about how this week is this week's I have
Starting point is 01:01:13 on my Patreon I always have the album of the week and it's just it's not even a good fucking show it's just me introducing an album to you guys like I don't get into it how I would want to because I don't think you guys would enjoy
Starting point is 01:01:31 like if I got into it Joey Dia style it would just be too fucking long the album of the week so I try to keep it short but the good thing about the album of the week for a guy like me is that I get to play the album like I listen to the album
Starting point is 01:01:44 two or three days before I do the album of the week and I basically sit on my couch and listen to both sides and relax and just think you know I hit the bubbler
Starting point is 01:01:56 and I'll come back here after 1030 you know when I hit the bubbler and I'll come back here and I'll just listen to it low very low and then the next day when my wife and my daughter's at school
Starting point is 01:02:08 I'll listen to the album you know, fucking loud. And that's when I hear things that I haven't heard in a long time. When I put on the album of the week this week is the first
Starting point is 01:02:18 housey album, uh, the blizzard of Oz. This fucking album hit me hard this week. Holy shit. And I let, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:27 you hear it all the time, right? I mean, it was the 40th anniversary or Diary of Madman this month, the last month. So they've been playing
Starting point is 01:02:34 the fuck out of it. And they've been playing, you know, you hear Train. What's the name is? Crazy Train. Gravy Tane. I hit Crazy Train on the radio. Ha, ha, ha, ha. You know, suicide solution. That, what is it? What is hard, but whisk is quick. Suicide is low with length. But, you know, you hear all those songs on the radio. And but when you, like I told you, I didn't tell you guys. I told the album of the weak people. When you put an album on at the house and you hear the way the songs come on, the order of the songs. Like this week, I listen to two albums. I listen to the first Ozzy, and I also listen to not the whole album.
Starting point is 01:03:27 I listen to Highway to Hell, the First Side. Highway to Hell, walk all over you, touch too much, that shit. fucking great out. That side, I like how they did the album selection on Highway to Hell. The five songs are just, and then the other song, the other side is, Went on the town looking for a woman, gonna give me good love. And it ends up with, I'm the night stalk or whatever, the night prowl. I think I got to look at the fucking album.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Maybe the night prowls in the phrase, that doesn't fucking matter, Joey. What matters is that I like the road, the way the songs are like on the album it's on the Aussie it's like Mr. Crowley I don't know you know suicide the order I don't even think that's the right order I must have still got
Starting point is 01:04:19 some of the THC from last night my fucking coconut but I like it I like just sitting there sometimes and just listening to an album I tell you what I don't hear the instruments as much it's not that you're listening to the fucking album as much
Starting point is 01:04:34 or the vocals you know I'm listening to the bass because Rudy but then fucking Sharon went in there with new musicians and we did all the fucking bass licks she put them back in I don't know if those are the original
Starting point is 01:04:49 fucking people it doesn't really matter but what my point I'm trying to get to here is that it just takes you back I mean it takes you back so fucking hard for me it does and I'm not doing acid I'm not doing anything guys
Starting point is 01:05:04 look at my eyeballs there's no assing those eyeballs. There's no gorilla biscuits. There's none. We're fucking, we basically run on seven joints a week and a few edibles at night to help me sleep. They don't even do anything anymore. I can't wait to the edibles finish. And for you edible people, I got
Starting point is 01:05:20 good news for you. I'm going to do a little collaboration with ABX. The 200 milligrams are going to be Joey D. is fire or something like that. We started talking last week, so we're going to do a whole new fucking campaign with ABX. Put them on the map with their fucking
Starting point is 01:05:36 Edibles. Listen, man, I love ABX Edibles. I love them. I love everything about it. The only problem is I got to take a little tolerance break right now.

Thank God the stars a death one out of business.
Starting point is 01:06:42 That poor guy, if you saw what he looked like towards the end, ass fucking Lee. He couldn't even take it no more. He looked like a prune. He was wrinkled up.
