Let's get this fucking party start on a Monday morning. Yo, what up? Monday the 14th of March. A beautiful motherfucking day to be alive. Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint for another fun-filled Monday morning. Take Tate to get your week off and fucking running. I had a great weekend.

Leading and come down because it was going to snow Saturday and he didn't want to get stuck in the snow. Hopefully, that's our last fucking snow of the year. That's it, man. And listen, it don't bother me at all. It didn't bother me whatsoever. I got to be honest with you guys,

when they talk about global warming and all this shit, I'm not a scientist. I don't know much about it. But I will tell you one thing. February's in this state used to be fucking brutal when I was growing up. January's in this state used to be, fucking brutal when I was growing up.

Januaries, I will never ever forget January's in New York City and in New Jersey. February's used to be fucking brutal. I still remember my eighth grade year. We didn't get out of school until June 30th because it just snowed. They had two

or three weeks off, the blizzard of 78. 83 when Rego beat up the fucking dude on the bicycle. Remember no fucking skiing on Bergenlein Avenue? You know, those snowstorms are fucking legendary. We don't get these here. We didn't get them. We got 96. Yeah.

So this is what tells me that the tide is shifting here. Again, I'm no scientist. I'm no fucking Greta, whatever that little girl's name is. Yeah, Greta Van Fleet. All I'm doing here is what I see, you know. When I grew up in this fucking state, listen, yeah, I was a criminal. I did a lot of fucked up shit. I was ashamed.

But don't believe the hype. You want me to tell you what kicked me out of this state? Humidity. I can't stand fucking humidity. I mean, I can't stand it. My fucking hardest fucking moments as a child was trying to get my dicks up, 14, 13, going to parties and shit. I would wash thoroughly.

Do you understand me? Because I never wanted somebody to say, you know what? I fooled around with Joey. And his assholes smelled like a fucking goat or anything like that. So I used to bathe pretty fucking. good. And I would go up town to these parties and not walk up, that two mile walk, but the time I get

up there, my hair would be fucking frizzy as shit. It was like a Jew fro. Why do you think you guys, why do I put monkeys spit in my fucking hair? Because I like to? No. Because my hair will fucking blow up every goddamn day. It goes from being an Afro to being a fucking, I look

like Zach De La Rocha from fucking rage against the machine. It's a fucking nightmare. So by the time I get there, my balls would be sweaty. My asshole would be sweaty. I would be sweating and my hair would be all fucking over the place. And I hated it. You know many fucking nights I came home with my jeans drenched from sweat?

I could say 10 times. One time I remember after the Palladium show with ACDC, I fucking came home. The top rim of my jeans were drenched. You could squeeze it. You could squeeze it. And I wasn't jumping up and down. I wasn't running up and down fucking Kennedy Boulevard. But, you know, it's just that's how fucking hot it is, guys.

But that's not, that hasn't been the fucking case at all. So whatever, I don't give a fuck. As long as it don't snow no more this year. It was what, we get, three snowstorms, four little fucking snowstorms. One was a big one, but not really. We were fucking back through it the next hour. You know, so. But anyway, what I want to talk to you guys about was Thursday night.

I went up to Northport. I went up to Cliffside Park. I went up to Rudy's. I, uh, I see my nephew. you're Nikki. I saw Uncle George. I saw Lisa. But I had to meet a friend of mine, my agent, at Rudy's, you know, so at first I'm like, fuck. I don't feel like taking the ride. Then I was like, fuck, yeah. Let's go up there. You know, I'm not doing nothing down here. I shot up there. I got up there on time. I brought a couple gifts for the people.

I brought a nice looking little jar, ABX Edibles, my man Tommy. He sees those things. He scoops up a bowl of clam chow to the Rhode Island. If you go to Rudy's, get the Rhode Island clam chowder. Fuck New England. Fuck Manhattan. Go Rhode Island. That motherfucker will set you free. I had a heart on the whole fucking drive down from the crab meeting.

God knows what else was in that fucking Rhode Island. But, you know, whenever I go, like, maybe not the last three times I went up. You know, when I go to North Bergen, I just want to get the fuck out of it. Like, when I go to Cliffside Park, I eat, I relax, I laugh a little bit. And what I usually do is sometimes I'll drive through North Bergen, but sometimes I'll just take tunneling and fucking shoot on the three, whatever west, east, whatever the fuck it is, and I'm back home in an hour, 55 minutes, you know?

But there's just some, like, I got to, the next couple weeks, I got to go up there and put some flowers on my mother's grave. I got to drive around the neighborhood, see how it's looking. Maybe some old spirits made a comeback, you know, the whole fucking deal. but Thursday night I went up there and I'm like you know it's I got there at 5 we were done by 7 it was a little dark out it hadn't gotten too dark yet so I said let me just take a fucking ride you know let me just see what's crack in

North Bergen I went down Bergen line Avenue I passed the fucking Burger King why I put my dick on the fucking counter I went down I went down to uh 76 whatever and I hooked the fuck not even What am I saying, Joey? I hooked the right by, I don't know, 80 5th Street. And I went down to County Boulevard and came out to Moreggs with the old Merrags. It's not Merriggs no more.

Maregs was a bar up there. So I wanted to go down 91st Street Hill and see Kurt's house, Kurt DeLorenzo's out. But you can't make a fucking left turn into fucking 88th Street. So I went down 90th, whatever, and I came up Smith Avenue. I don't even know what the streets are anymore. You know, I just driving from what I remember. I know that you can't make a right and go down 88th Street Park anymore. You know, so you have to come up from it, from the bottom, whatever, Grand Avenue.

So I hit Grand Avenue and I fucking, I hit Grand Avenue. I popped up Kurtz. You know, for some reason, I was just saying Kurt. Like, I just wanted to see, I drove by Ronnie's house. Fucking, the streets are fucking, like, midgets. I don't know how to fuck we grew up there. I really don't. I really fucking don't know how I grew up there.

Because the streets are fucking nothing. Like nothing. I was petrified. I was going to hit a car with my rearview mirror. I mean, it's fucking scary as shit. So I make the fucking right from Grand Avenue. to go back up to Kennedy Boulevard. I stopped the car, and I didn't stop it.

Like, I was doing two miles an hour on the turn. And I looked at Kurt's house. It's changed and shit. I remembered fucking, like, 83 seeing cars halfway up the corner of the fucking Kennedy Boulevard to buy Coke from Kurt. They'd be in a fucking line like an ATM machine, just craziness. And as I'm heading up to fucking Kennedy Boulevard, I go, holy shit. And I looked over. And there it was.

Now, I know it's not the same one. Like, I've been there and I smelt it. It's definitely not the same one. But I saw my rocket ship. I saw my old hotel, the outdoor when I was fucking homeless. And I got to tell you something, I looked at it, guys. Like, I looked. And that's when it dawned on me.

And I had to pull over for a second. I didn't get out of my car. There was nobody at the fucking park. I mean, it's not. When we were kids, we were always at that fucking park. Like, at seven, getting our night started. So it had to be about 7 o'clock.

There was nobody at the park. But I just parked the car for a minute and I looked at that because I had forgotten all about the fucking rocket ship. I really did. I forgot everything to do with being homeless. We covered it in the books,

but God knows that was maybe last year. So I just pulled the car over and I just looked at that thing and I could not believe that I slept there for about three fucking weeks in December of 84. I just couldn't believe it.

I just could not fucking believe it. Let me tell you the weirdest thing that that whole reason where I was homeless and living in that rocket ship was because the family on that corner had offered me if I wanted to stay with them. They were like, listen, we're sick and tired of hearing these stories about you.

Why don't you stay with us in the basement? We got the kids here, the families, and you get on your feet, get a job, whatever. But you know what? I don't even remember when I moved in with them. I think I was there a fucking month, maybe. Maybe a month I was there. And a couple nights I would go home,

and that's how I knew about the rocket ship, because I couldn't get in. I didn't have keys. So I had to go home by two or three. There were two kids in the house, Tommy, and I would tell Tommy leave the back door open. Sometimes he'd forget, and I'd have to go to the rocket ship

and just sit there until they opened up the house when the kids went to school at 8, and I'd sneak in. and, you know, who knows what my life was about that. You know, I have no fucking idea. I just know that I sat in that car for like 15 minutes, and I did not feel good. I just did not feel good about myself.

You know, and I was doing great that night. I was having a good time, but just that whole situation fucking killed me. And to make it worse, Friday, I was on Facebook, and I saw a picture of the girl that lived in that house, was my dear friend. I mean, she was my dear friend. And, you know, I moved in with them. They were very nice of them to let me move in. I was going through a... I was just a fucking junkie. I wasn't going through anything. I was just a fucking junkie. It was 19, fucking 84.

That shit was everywhere. You know, that shit was everywhere, guys. If you're young, you would never understand how much cocaine there was around this fucking neighbors. By 84, 85, everybody was doing Coke. Your mother, your father, your rants, your uncles, your cousins,

everybody was sniffling. Everybody thought they were Tony Montana. It's such a fucking hard picket to describe. You know, like, when I think about living in LA, when the weed stores really were at their peak, like right now, weed stores, retail, you know, people are realizing

that the wheat prices went up, and then you got to add the taxes to it. So people like, fuck it, I'm back to where I was. I might as well go to my dealer. I might as well go to my fucking dealer and get going to the black market. The black market. Who the fuck knows what that even is?

So it all started with that fucking, man. I was not in a good space. You know, that's why I'm happy when Jessumet Paluso came on here, and we spoke about, you know, grief, you know. Let me tell you something, man, that shit is worse than a fucking addiction. Because you don't even know when it's crawling up on you. You know, you don't even feel it.

You just know you're going through some changes. And then when you hit rock bottom, when you, you know, do a self-inventory or what the fuck is going on with you, you're like, I miss my mother. I miss my best friend. You know, whatever the fuck it was. And I was not stable those months at all. Like, I wasn't suicidal, but I also didn't want to keep doing what I was doing. I didn't deserve to live what I was doing.

It was grief. It was, you know, when you feel bad for yourself, self-loathing, whatever, it was that. It was, and then the addict, the cocaine didn't, you know, when you're fucking unstable, and then you had cocaine. to the fucking mix, that's the beginning of the end. That's the beginning of the end. When you're in that point of being unstable,

I shouldn't even have been getting high. Like, I shouldn't even... Looking back now, you know, looking back, but I will tell you something. In other parts of my life, when I felt a little unstable, like last year, when I was going through what I was going through,

that's why I don't like smoking pot. If you're going to rebuild, you've got to rebuild from strength, not from fucking drugs or whatever. that that that was that's my assessment of it you know so it was just oh my god and i didn't want to get out like i was thinking of getting out and walking over to the rocket ship no that's too strong i did that i did that i went up there with my daughter and my wife five four years ago six years ago and i went and touched the rocket ship first off i'm not going to lie to you it's not

the same rocket ship that rocket ship was 19 fucking 83 and it had probably been there 20 years there was some rusty spots. There were some spots where you get caught on the fucking bolts, like your clothes. This was not a kosher rocket ship. You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't let my daughter play in that old rocket ship. This was one from like the 60s when they opened up that park.

The one they had there now is just a new one. Listen, it's not even used. That thing has probably been there for 10 years and maybe, you know, it's gotten five days to use. It's not like when we were kids and we were in that park or, you know, that whole neighborhood had a bunch of fucking kids and they hung out at that park.

They started by riding the fucking things and then you go play baseball and there's a huge basketball court. Then that's the fucking park where we ended up mugging the Chinese dude. We met him delivered down to the park and we mugged the Chinese guy and we took his car and delivered Chinese food.

We went to the park later on. The cops were there with the Chinese delivery driver. Oh, my God. Yeah, we made like two or three deliveries You know, picked up like 60 bucks. We thought we were gangsters. We were driving around and the fucking guy stole and car. Hey, man.

That's what it was all about back then. I'll tell you, we just made like three deliveries. Nobody went to jail. Nobody got beat up. I think we duct tape the delivery drive. We took them out. We took them down or something like that, right at 88 Street Park.

Fucking hysterical, guys. This is childhood shit that will never happen again because they'll throw you under the jail for doing something like that. Fucking just taking a delivery. driver out and delivering Chinese food and even the people looking at you weird like why are you delivering? Where's the Chinaman?

You know what I'm saying? Where's the Chinese do with the railroad? So it was just fucking that was such a fucking horrible time. Such, you know and I started going in that direction and I took it right back to like L.A. like I was

starting to feel like it was taking me down and I started thinking about being on stage and all that shit how you know I did so many things from that point in my life, but I'm going to be as honest I can with you. I still know it, but I was fucking homeless. I still know it. Like, you don't even want to...

Most people wouldn't say that. It's like being a prostitute. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you're a prostitute and you meet a bunch of new people and they go like, what have you been doing the last eight years? You know, I'm in a prostitute. No, I've just been busy. That's what I felt like.

I just been busy. It's the truth. You're busy. I'm busy. it's uh I'm embarrassed about it and I still remember it deep like it cuts deep in there with

the prison shit see I've never listen the only way I could alleviate the pain from all that should I done to myself was to make fun of it that's the only way listen you're a true comedian when you can make yourself laugh in a tough situation

that's when you should really consider Maybe I'll do comedy because if you could do that for yourself, could you imagine what you could do for other people? I knew that. That's one of the biggest traits of being a comedian is cracking yourself the fuck up. I love cracking myself up because the first thing I do is take whatever the fuck I just said to Mike or Lee or whoever. And I put it in a notebook and we work from there. You work it from fucking then. You write out the fucking wave.

But that's the true test. when you're like fucking feeling down, you know, and you're like, I can make myself laugh. And that was also around the time, like, that was a rough fucking two months, guys. And there was no fucking better help for me that. Like, you understand me? Like, I wish fucking better help was there with me at that time. While we're here, let's read Better Help for you. There was no better help.

In fact, when I talked to her next Monday, I'm going to bring up this thing that I'm talking to you guys about today. Because that, dog, there was no better help. help. There was no fucking nobody to help me out. There was nobody to fucking pain. Because remember, maybe it was in that genre from mid-September to December 31 of 84. One of those weekends was when I got high like from Thursday all the way to Sunday and instead of going to the rocket ship I broke into Mike Runny's house who just called me a couple of minutes ago, my

brother. And he used to have like a, in the room where we lifted weights in the basement. It was like those glasses that you put in individually, but then you have to spin it around, and the glass goes like this. Well, I figured out how to take the glasses out and climb in, then I put the glasses back and shit. Then one night one of the glasses broke, and I'm like, fuck. But one night I went over there, and they had this dog Duke.

I love fucking Duke. But when Duke didn't go out, he was shit downstairs in the back room. So when you walk down to the basement, they'd have the washing machine and they had the washing machine to dry and then you walk straight there was a bathroom there was mine and Mike's room on the left-hand side

and then there was another room over there that was the weightlifting room we put chairs and shit in there and we would dip and we had an inclined bench in there that we made from fucking scratch like Puerto Ricans and then in the back back room was where the boiler was

and where the dude checked the fucking meter. But back there, whenever Duke couldn't go out, he would just go back there and drop a piece of shit. There was like maybe four pieces of shit. Duke didn't shit in the fucking basement all the time. But fucking, I used to crawl into the gym and then go into the back room so nobody would see me. They wouldn't even know I was back there.

There were two old mattresses back there, and I would just put them on the floor. And one night, oh my God, one night I was high. fucking three days. Yeah. It was like a Sunday night and I had been going since Thursday night, guys. Think about it. I don't know what happened on Sunday.

I do not remember. But at one point of the day, I ended up at Mike Runny's house after a three-day fucking run. I'm fucking, I crawling through a window. Boom, I do my usual. I throw down the fucking mattress real quietly. And I'm fucked up. I don't know what I got in me. I got blow.

I got booze. I don't know what type of mentally mentally do pills. I'm fucked up, guys. I had already puked. It was horrible. It was the end of a three-day binge. You know, you're all out of fucking dopamine. You know what I'm saying?

So you're fucking just depressed. And I'll never forget that I drew the mattress down. The mattress from the wall and laid it down. And as I started taking my jacket, I didn't notice where I had put the mattress. I took the jacket off and I folded up to use like a pillow

I threw it down and when I laid on the pillow I opened my eyes and I was fucking just, you know like when you lay down and you're like finally

you know I could breathe but when you do coke if anybody ever done coke at the end of a coke binge is when you sit on your bed your dick won't get hard you know you try jerking off

that's not working and then you fucking finally realize the position you put yourself in. I've been snored coke for three days. I can't get a heart on. I'm broke.

I owe the guy $8,000. And in that last minute, you go to take a breath like, what am I going to do with my life, you know? And I'll never forget that I was like, just not feeling good. I was on that mattress for about maybe 10 minutes. Just my mind was racing with all the fucking,

my mind was racing with all the shit. shit that I had gone, you know, like, when is this going to end type? Shit going on with your brain. And I said to myself, I don't know, forget to say, God. You know, man, I'm going to fucking sleep for a few hours, and I'm going to end this. I'm going to end this. I had a cousin who jumped off the George Washington Bridge. I go, fuck it.

I'm going to walk to the George Washington Bridge and jump off the fucking bridge. Let me take a nap for a few hours. Let me get my paperwork together. Let me write a will. I'm going to leave my jacket to somebody. That's all I had at the time. And something, I go, all right, let me turn. You don't say let me turn over.

Like, I went like this, like to turn over, and I smelled something funny. And maybe, like, this was my fucking face over here. And right here where this water was, Duke had taken a little shit that was frozen or something, like it had disintegrated and it came back to life. Like, I don't, you know. You ever see, Mike.

Jackson remember the time the video they have like the sand and then it comes back like that's what it was like a little mountain of sand but as depressed as I was at that moment when I opened up my eyes and I saw a little piece of shit I'm like I'm killing myself today at lunchtime this is that that piece of shit right there that's the sign I got ice myself I can't keep doing this to myself you think I'm fucking kidding you Mike I'm out of my mind and I broke down I cry a little bit I'm like how bad am I that after everything I'm going through, I had to actually lay down next to a piece of shit. I'm waiting to think about that when you're, you know, how bad is my fucking life? You want to tell me guys? And I'm just laying there for two minutes looking at that piece of shit going, you know what? I have to jump off this fucking bridge. That's my sign. That's my future.

Shit. I'm going to jump off the fucking bridge. I woke up at lunchtime. I walk like halfway and I said, fuck it. Let me get a palmer sandwich and let's find the 50s. dollar bill to get this party started today you know what I'm saying whatever the fuck you were thinking it's so quick like that night I had a plan I'm gonna fucking kill myself I'm gonna jump I'm gonna eat a hot dog you know all this shit and I get up and this a different fucking plan it's the same thing like when you make a plan not to get high

anymore I'm gonna stop getting high I'm gonna stop fucking my aunt you know I gotta I gotta move out you know like you're just in a fucking horrible situation in your life dog I've been in those situations a fucking lot in my life. When I wrote that book I thought about all the times I started over. Holy shit. Nobody. That's why I know how to start

over. I give you the best advice. If you call me, you say you got a warrant, a misdemeanor warrant, and you're sick of living there anyway, I'll give you the whole fucking plan. A to Z for free. I know exactly where you go, how they won't find you, how to get a nice laborer's job and stay under the

fucking radar until the heat blows over. Anyway, and Now for a word from my sponsors over there at BetterHelp, who I fucking love. The Joint is sponsored by Better Help Online Therapy. Listen, everything takes work that you're going to do. Nothing is just you show up and it's done. A lot of us will drop anything to go fucking help some. I got a brother, George, forget about it.

You know, before he goes to work, no. I had to go help this guy change the flat. Fuck you. Go to work. But there's people who live their life like that. but instead of taking care of themselves like they take care of the people, they don't. We need to invest in ourselves, all right?

I invest in myself. I go on exercise, therapy, acupuncture. I get my blood test. Fucking this morning, I got to go to a knee doctor. Better help online therapy wants to remind you to take care of the most important relationship you got, which is the one you have with yourself. Listen, I didn't know what the fuck was going on.

I called a few therapists. everybody wouldn't take me. I went on some website because I didn't know what was going on. I wanted to talk to a third party. My wife don't know everything. You know what I'm saying? I contacted with a friend of mine. She told me to go to better help and contact Dana.

And I'll tell you what, I feel like six, seven, eight weeks of talking to Dana. I feel tip-top. You guys have seen the change. I feel fucking great. I did a couple worksheets. You touch base with them. You could see the appointments once a week or twice a month or whatever the hell you want to do. do, whether it's hitting the gym taking time for a haircut or even trying therapy. Your greatest

asset is to invest time and effort into yourself. You understand me?

So I didn't jump off the fucking bridge and I continued my little fucking onslaught of being a full-time fucking junkie. In December 12th, 1983, 84, I went to the house And they sat me down and said, listen, where you've been here for a month. You haven't showed. You've showed zero of wanting to do anything with your life. I'm like, you're right.

For right now, I just want to get high. I want to go out at night. That's all I want. Can you imagine that? I didn't want to work. I don't want to do nothing. I just wanted to sell a little bit of Coke and keep getting high.

That's it. I didn't care that I was. homeless, you know, when you choose addiction over a home, there's a problem. Again, when you choose addiction over a fucking home, an apartment, a space, there's a fucking problem. And I had a fucking problem. But I didn't know how long I was going to ride this fucking ship to him. I'm like, fuck it.

I have no fucking prospects. I got nothing in front of me. Nothing's going on. Nobody's going to hire me. My skin looked bad. I mean, I was 20, 21, 22 years old. I was in great shape, but I wasn't doing nothing with it. My mind was gone.

And, you know, I, looking back at it now, that was the time period where that little anger started building of the things I didn't have. I started worrying about that shit. The anger started building. And I'm going to be honest with you, looking back on it now. It's so weird. I went to Jitsu Friday. I went yesterday. I went Saturday, too. And the guy was saying the attack begins way before you think the attack begins. You think the attack begins when you're inside control and you're going for an Americana, right?

But he was saying, no, the attack starts when you start rolling your body. And they don't know it that the attack is starting. They think you're going into a choke or something. I always feel that that was the beginning that was when I lit the that's when I turned the switch on and the final result was me kidnap and Vela but that's the way ahead of ourselves right now

but that's how deep and dark I had gotten that and my life had never ever been that dark when I think about that time period in my life I don't feel good you ever think of something you're like right away you don't feel good I don't feel good because I wasn't healthy. I wasn't healthy physically, but most importantly, I wasn't there fucking mentally.

I had, you know, by December of 84 guys, I had burned every bridge in my arsenal. Every bridge. I maybe had Mike Ronnie, maybe three or four people that loved me and took me, but everybody else was a little on the jaded side with me, if you know what I mean. I had pissed a couple people off.

And there were childhood friends. A lot of childhood friends that weren't mad at me. They were just, I disappointed them. You know, and I still remember, and I made amends with a lot of those guys, and I apologize to them for, you know, bringing shit into their lives, because that's all I was at that time.

I was just bringing shit into your life. If I bumped into you, Mike, guarantee in a week, there was going to be something going on. which either you were missing money. You gave me money for Coke and you never got it. Your car was missing. You know, that was what I did in people's lives. And I'm really sorry for that part of my life.

But, hey, listen, we all know somebody like the guy I'm describing to you. When you look at me and you listen to my stories, you're like, Joey, that couldn't have been you. No, that was me. That's why this road tastes so much better to me. Like, this was all because I didn't, I was just a guy. I got myself out of the fucking prison system and became a comedian. I pulled myself out of so many different

fucking holes to become there. I had to pull myself out of 20 holes just to become a human being. Just to be a human being. Like I was way off fucking track as a developmental. I was gone. That was all gone.

Thank God that the pieces got put together for me and eventually I made it happen. But guys, this was never. good for a long fucking time. You know, I went to lunch with Lisa a couple weeks ago, right down the corner here on the 9, went to get some sushi. And we were talking.

I brought it up to, I go, do you remember me in 84? Like, I'll never forget that I went to a party, a Christmas party. And I saw at the party, I was fucking homeless. I was showered and stuff, and I had cocaine, I had money, but I was pretty much homeless. And I saw at this party, you know, I love that. I had a crush on her. She was the only fucking girl.

I looked at her as a meal ticket. I looked at her as a way to get me out of the mess hours and maybe getting apart. I didn't fucking know. I didn't know. I had this, you know, like when you have this mind fuck going on that you're going to sail off into the sunset. You know,

this chick was motivated. She was working. She was going to school. And I saw her at a party. I'm like, you know, can I talk to you? And she's like, nah, it's not a good play. I'm with my new boyfriend. I was fucking heartbroken.

That was a horrible Christmas. That was like Christmas Eve. And I remember I said to her, Listen, I need to talk to you, plea. I kept asking, I asked and asking her. And she's like, okay, let's go into the bathroom. And went to the bathroom. We were there for like four minutes,

and she just smacked me in the face and walked out. Like, she was like, I can't do this anymore. I don't even know who the fuck you are. You know, at that time, my nose is all. I always stuffed. I always had a bloody nose. You know, I heard a story about a comedian years ago. I got to the club,

and they were telling me that the comedian that was there a week before was doing coke and his nose. Yeah, he did a line during the show or something like that. I don't know. And they said that the blood was falling from his nose onto the stage, and it was just like, you know, like fucking dog. When I heard that story, I'm like, story, I'm like, I'll never forget when a club manager told me that this had to be years ago,

six years ago, seven years ago, that I was like, ooh, I hope he's not talking about me. I mean, that never happened to me as a comic. But in 84, my nose was so bad that I would just start bleeding anyway. And I would put a tissue in my nose and continue to talk to you like nothing happened. And then the other nose would start bleeding. Oh, my God, guys, you have no idea. There were times I wake up in the morning and I couldn't breathe.

Not because of sleep apnea because between the cocaine, the cut, and the fucking blood it would collagulate in my nose and there was just one little thing in there. I would wake up because my fucking nose was clogged from powder and blood. I've never said these things anywhere publicly before because of the shame I had. And this all came to me the other fucking night

when I was just looking at that rocket ship. It was like a 15 minute. You know, like when they have a, like the longest yard has one, it shows Bert Reynolds hitting me, then it shows the guys breaking into a locker, then it shows Bert Reynolds hit me again. I don't know what they're called montages. Guys, it was like, I'm the drive home.

Like, I was like, I got to get the fuck out of you. My mind is speeding, and I had a little vapor pet. I brought buds with me for my friends and some ABX edibles, but I didn't have a joint with me or anything rolled I had a lighter in the car but I said fuck it you know I'll figure something I just did not it just was not working for me

I can't believe how much of a like for me to tell you guys that I lived in a rocket ship and all this shit god damn that was big I wouldn't even tell I wouldn't tell anybody that shit I didn't tell my

wife then girlfriend maybe like eight years into the relationship that I was homeless in 84 and she was like what why and I you know I was ashamed and I told I told it on the church of what's happening now and people are like what the fuck are you talking about man when you sleep outside that builds a little bit of fucking character like you remember those nights I tell you there's nights I go to bed now like maybe once a month twice a month when I lay there's a little bit of fucking character like you down and I put the sleep apnea your mask on and shit

I put the blankets all mad I'm like fuck could you imagine if I was living like by a train station like underneath like I had a friend that lived he wasn't a friend guys he was a guy bought drugs from in New York City he lived when I used to work at the Sheridan

52nd Street he was a homeless guy and one day wanted to show me we had become like friends the guy never failed me he was one of those street connects that he'll take you over there get a bag for 20 but give me five bucks just to hook me up for me taking care he was one of those guys so one day he showed me where the fuck he lived he lived by washington square park you went down to the subway downstairs and he'd keep walking and it was like when it turns black and there's no more wall he would walk back there dog we walked like 10 feet and you can hear mice rats it's exactly what you would think it would sound like and all of a sudden he goes into a hallway and he fucking He put bricks on there and he put it up.

I mean it took him like a month this poor bastard, but he lived underneath the train station somewhere in New York City. And he goes down more, there was like fucking caves where there were 30 homeless people, they killed pigs and dogs in there, they eat them, they don't come out of the fucking tunnels. Oh yeah, that's some creepy fucking shit in the New York City train. There's people that, the dog, he said that there's times when they catch cold.

cold. He wouldn't leave that thing for two or three days. He had a little bottle of piss. He had a little toilet, a makeship like a spackle bucket. He had one of those. I got to hand it to people like that. They're crafty. He had pictures up of his family. He had like

those lights that you take camping. That you fill up with gas or whatever. He had it all. He took showers at some church. When he wanted to take a shower, something like that. being homeless ain't that bad it sucks for me

I didn't have my shit together I didn't have no pictures of my relatives or fucking a blanket or nothing that shit it's a jacket dog it's a fucking jacket I would buy like a fucking pint of vodka and go to the bar

and put vodka in the arms just like the puke that I am you know and I would save like three fingers of it so when I got back to the the fucking whatever but that's what I would drink before I'd go to sleep.

When you're outside. No, I would sip on it all night. I've never drank vodka again since that. It just reminds me. It's a fucking ugly memory of the... They weren't screwdrivers. I didn't have money for orange juice. It was an unscrewed driver, Jack.

Wait a thing. I was homeless, but I had money for orange juice. I was in the fucking... My little rocket ship making cocktails like Tom Cruise and shit. Get the fuck out of it. I was living at it. rough, man. I only won't know what the fuck happened that year.

Like, I just, I went up to, uh, my base of operations then was the Midtown Lounge. It was Sharples his joint. And, you know, you go up there, you could put lunch on the arm, you could put, you ran a tab for alcohol. So, you know, I would go up there eat, have a couple fucking sodas, put it on my tab, sell some Coke. Pay the tab off. It's a fucking horrible life.

but I got to tell you something, it was working. I was just doing this every day, and I had no idea what my next move was. At this time, I owed my godfather money. He was looking for me. I owed some Cubans money in West New York. Oh, my God, I was a fucking mess. But all I did every day then was fucking wake up at the fucking rocket ship.

I would walk either Kurt Di Lorenzo's or Mike Runnies. I would try to get something to either Kurtz and then go to Mike Runny's, his mother, and his father went home so I could take a shower in the daytime. His mother was a cop, so sometimes she stopped at the house. I never bumped into, I think one time I was leaving, and she was coming in and she said, what are you doing?

I came to leave something for Mike. Nobody knew my secret life. I would just walk down, walk down to park down the Grand Avenue. I would go to Kurtz. maybe steal one of Kurtz wrestling shirts or something like that, just a different t-shirt to put on, just so I would. I'd have like a change of clothes and mics.

I'd walk to Mike Runnies, take a shower there. And then I'd go to Hashways. I put like a semi-breakfast on the tab. Mrs. Hashway loved me. And then I'd walk to the Midtown Lounge and wait for the day to pop open. Who needs a pound of weed? Who needs a gram of Coke?

Who needs an eight ball? who needs 10 hits of mescaline. That was my job. And usually by 1 o'clock, somebody will walk in looking for something. And me and my fucking buddies would help him out, an 8 ball, whatever, and then we'd start from there.

We got a half gram off the top. That's 50 bucks. What are we going to do? Let's sell the half grand. Let's borrow 100 from within it. You know, it was just getting 8 balls and selling them. And I was just making enough to break even.

And if there were days that I made enough to break even, I would get a hotel room for a night. Just a, and I would, go there like a 12, take a tremendous shower, sleep. I'd get a late checkout. You know, I'd stay off the street as much as I could, every minute that I could.

And one day, I went down to the Midtown Lounge. It was like the 26th of December. I had nothing going on. I don't even know what I was waiting for, guys. I was just waiting for something to happen. I didn't know what. I just knew something was going to happen. Fucking, was at the Midtown Lounge one day?

And I just went outside to get some out, you know. And I remember in those times, that's the only places I went in the daytime with bars. I was either at the Midtown Lounge 90% of the time, or if I did something bad for a few days, I would go to Corky's and hide for three or four days. And then I'd go back to the Midtown Lounge. And one night, I'm in front of the, one afternoon, I'm in front of the Midtown Lounge, minding my own business, just looking at the traffic on Kennedy fucking Boulevard. And one of my teachers was driving by and he beeped on at me.

And I was so happy to see him. Like I hadn't seen him in like a year or so. He came out of his car and he's like, look at you. And we fucking hugged and shit. What's going on? Mr. T. After the whole thing, he looked at me. He's like, bro, you don't look good.

And I broke down. I go, Mr. T. I'm not good. I can't stop snorting. I can't stop being a piece of shit. I need a break. I got to get something. I need something.

I need, I don't know, I need an overall. I need an apartment. I need money. I need a car. I need a bicycle. I need clothes. I need fucking to rest. I need to get my head together.

At that time, I needed a lot of fucking things, guys, you know. And he's like, listen, man, I've been clean for a while now. I'm involved with AA and stuff. There was no N. I don't know what the fuck there was back then. He goes, I know. a lot of people in AA, I could probably get you into rehab and get you some money or get you into a detox and get you a little money. They'll put you on a program and stuff, maybe a halfway

house to get on your feet. And at that point, I would say yes to anything. I was like, let's do it. And he goes, take my number, 568, 9457. We're fucking think you're dealing with guys 40 years later. and I said, listen, I'm going to get my shit together. I was planning to, somebody had to go down. Everything, I had been fucking just spinning my wheels for the last 60 days. Something had to go down. And at that point, like I said, that was the beginning of my criminal, real criminality. When I had a, like, somebody needs to step up.

I'm going to need to mug somebody with guns. And I'm not talking about $3,000. I got to go in there fucking heavy. I ain't got time to fuck around with these people. So I fucking told him my call him in a few days. He says, he'll get me in. He says, I'm going to go to my mother's house and get on the phone right now and start getting you a detox or whatever I could get you.

And I said, let's go for New Year's Day. 1985. He goes, okay, I'll be around. So at this point I had started fucking slinging coke for this kid But he had his eye on me This motherfucker was slick, smart And I could get nowhere with him

I had been working with him like maybe 60, 30 days And this motherfucker knew my angles From all directions But I knew eventually he was gonna open up You know what I'm saying It's just like Jitia. You're going for the Camorra The guy straightens his arm out

Switch it around and go for the choke Now he raises his arm and you got his arm right there to slam it down. So I knew, I knew eventually I would catch this guy off guard. And sure enough, the opportunity came New Year's Eve. He goes, I'm going to be in the city

hanging out all night. What I'm going to do is just give you a couple ounces. You don't have to keep calling me and I'll square up with you first thing fucking New Year's Day in the morning. I said, fine. He fucking gave me a couple bags. We sold them.

New Year's Eve came. He gave me a couple ounces. I did everything. perfectly and I had my fucking day planned the fuck out I was going to sell all the fucking Coke pocket of money Joel was supposed to pick me up that

morning at Tunnelie Avenue at the hotel that wasn't happening I was going to fucking leave before he even fucking knew what the hell was going on I called Mr. T I told him I was getting everything ready he said he had spoken to the people at the

rehab and they couldn't get me in but the people at the detox could get me in and that was a 30 day detox so i'm in a hotel for 30 days it's going to be beautiful i could detox don't give me food i could get a phone make some call maybe put a couple dollars together i was fucking psyched new year's eve came my man came through gave me a couple fucking OZs. I sold and snorted every fucking last drop

of that motherfucker because you know how Uncle Joey's a fucking fiend? I slept maybe an hour and I called Mr. T T and I said, pick me to fuck up at the Tip Top Hotel on Dungley fucking Avenue.

That's the name of TikTok or Tipto. I don't fucking know. It's disgusting this hotel. Disgusting. When you lay on the bed, even if they have sheets on, you can smell sperm. I mean, they have a jacuzzi tub. I rented it one night for like the small $60. Oh, my God.

You ever see a jacuzzi, like the foam goes around the sides with the bubbles, and you have to, like, scrape the bubbles from the wall. That was mixed with sperm. So when you hit the bubbles, it was the scott and dog. I wouldn't even fucking, and those hotels are still there today. The same hotels. There's one on 91st in Tunnelie Avenue, and that one I was talking about,

the tip top, whatever the fuck it is, that's still there. Disgusting. That's where I got my fungi, don't have them. No showers and those dirty hotel rooms. That's where I got my fucking shit. But, dog, I never, ever, ever thought I was going to get myself out of that all. In fact, when Mr. T came to pick me up, when I got into Mr. T's car and slammed the fucking car,

as I looked up and put the seatbelt on, Joel was driving into the whole. hotel. He had just called. Like, I woke up that morning, called tea and said, T, come get me. He goes, we got a snowstorm. It's going to be about an hour. And all of a sudden, I'm packed. I'm ready to go. And the phone rings. It's Joelle. What's up, Joe L. Listen, I'll be down there about an hour. I'm like, fuck. If Joel shows before tea, I won't have any money to leave. I had put together like maybe four or five grand. A couple fucking grand. Yeah, yeah. I had it down, Jack. It's got bad news.

My sister passed away in Cuba yesterday at 6 p.m. Are you serious? Yeah, they had only given her a week. I'm so sorry, man. Yeah, they had only given her a week. Yeah, they called me. What happens, guys. It's weird, too, because when, before I got the call from my niece to tell me my sister was sick,

for some reason, I just kept thinking about my mother. Like, it was just like I couldn't shake it. You know, I'm like, fuck, what the... And then I got the text last week, and I'm going to tell you what the fucking saddest thing in the world is. I couldn't get a calling card all week. I went to every fucking gas station. I went to Wawa. I went to the gas station up the corner.

I went to a liquor store. I couldn't get a fucking calling card. So, uh, what are you going to do, guys? It's just another fucking day. And her birthday is, she would have been, her birthday is Sunday, the 20th. My birthday is February 19th, her birthday's March 19th. We were born a month, a fucking part. This is a Monday morning fucking podcast, motherfuckers.

We ended with a death. That's the way to really fucking end the podcast. No. But my message today on a Monday morning was, if I got myself out of the mess I was in, that was a fucking 10-month curse. if I were to it was deep guys

I needed a lot to shake that off it took me maybe a year to get on my fucking feet I mean I got on my feet in like six months financial I didn't get high anymore I didn't get high for about two years I did pretty fucking good that uh

like I said to you guys that little homeless that little stent we talked about today it's deep in my fucking soul I never wanted to go back there you know I don't mind going a couple places you never know. I might clock some guy in the head with a pipe in two years and go to jail for fucking life.

You know, you never know. But I know one thing for sure. I don't ever want to be homeless. I don't ever not want to have a dime in the bank or any security whatsoever. I remember the jacket I had. Somebody bought it for me. A friend of mine goes, you have winter jacket? I don't know.

He goes, come on. Let's go down the fucking Schlesinger's out by your winter jack. You know how embarrassing it is? And then I got into a fight two nights later. they got ripped. So the fucking jacket, that whole winter when I was homeless, I was walking around with a winter jacket. And the whole fucking hood was ripped.

We got into a fist fight and they were holding us back. So my message is if I got myself out of that fucking hole and there was no plan, there was no goals back then. There was no notebook that was like, well, let's take me six months. There was nothing. It was just me against the motherfucking world. And I think till this day, me getting out of that, was my strength.

I always knew if I got myself out of that one, I'd get myself out of anything ever, anything, anything they threw up me. And until this day, like the prison sentence I got, me getting divorced and the situation with my daughter, this situation I told you about, these were the stories that defined who I was, guys. And it's so weird to think that these, I never knew that that homeless thing had affected me so much

until Thursday night basically 39 fucking years later I didn't know that it pissed me off and even though I didn't have parents I didn't have, I had good friends but I had let them all down I had let everybody down it at that time but who gave a fuck about that?

I had let down the most important person in my world which was me and I never wanted to be there again ever. If you're in this position right now in your life if you're struggling and you think it's that fucking far away from you to get healthy I'm here to tell you you're wrong

it's right around the fucking corner because if I got myself healthy from that in 85 84 guys I never thought I was going to recover from that you heard me I didn't know what my next move was I had nothing coming in there was no way I could get a job I had three pair of pants two t-shirts and a winter jacket or something

and I barely had that It was just a bad fucking time in my life. And when I look at those situations, these situations taste that much better. And yeah, Joey, what are you worried about? It happened a long time ago. Nobody remembers. I remember motherfuckers. And that's the most important person.

There's a lot of things I don't remember. I keep those memories really close to me, but this one from Thursday, I'm going to keep even closer. Because I never wanted to end up in that place again. And it wasn't even sleeping in the rocket ship or anything that shit. It was what was going on in my life and around me. I never want that confusion again. I'll stick with the fucking weed and we'll all be fucking happy forever.
