Listen, there's plenty to be anxious about today.
So when I say Relief Band helps me with my anxiety, you know it's the real deal.
Relief ban has been clinically proven to quickly relieve and prevent anxiety-based nausea and vomiting.
Do you deal with nausea from motion sickness, migraines, hangovers, morning sickness or chemotherapy?
Relief ban can help you with that.
It's like the name says.
It's a band you wear on your wrist to give you relief from nausea caused by things like anxiety.
You change the intensity depending on how you're feeling to make it stronger or weaker.
It's very simple.
Listen, after my surgery, I got really, before I got the surgery, somebody sent me a relief
ban.
I didn't know who the hell it was.
I thought it was the doctor.
So when I had the surgery, I put it on, then my agent told me they were one of the sponsors,
so it was very easy.
I loved it by that point.
Relief ban is 100% drug free, non-drowsy, and provides long-lasting relief with zero side effects.
And they just released their relief band sport.
It's waterproof, has an extended battery life.

morning, cocksuckers. Let's do
this. What's happened, you bad
motherfuckers? It's Wednesday the 16th
of March. The
day before St. Patty's Day.
I fucking love St. Patty's
Day, even though I don't drink and shit
my neighbors up the corner
I'm going to make a couple fucking
whatever the fucking corn beefs
we're going to go over there on fucking Thursday
smoke some reef
I'm going to smoke tons of reef
I'm going to start like a fucking 3.30 in the afternoon
well I'll start a little early in that
I usually start like at 3.30 to prep for dinner
is what I'm trying to say
I'll drop a couple of ABXs to get the party started
to get that hunger in there for reals
you know what I'm saying nothing bothers me more
when I go eat and fucking
I'm not hungry.
You know, nothing, nothing.
And for a long time, I wasn't getting high.
Like, last night I went to this place called fucking Harals and Edison.
Fucking tremendous.
If you like corned beef, pastrami, brisket, you order a sandwich for two.
If you walk in there with six people, order a sandwich for two.
That's all you need.
Everybody will fucking eat.
It's just big the sandwich.
I got a picture of my phone to give you this much pastrami, this much brisket,
and this much fucking corned beef.
fucking tremendous. I can eat that shit
forever. But that's it. After
tomorrow night, I won't eat it again until
fuck it now. Who the fucking make it? I love
pastrami, guys. I've always loved
motherfucking pastrami. The pickled
hurrying around the corner? Oh,
Lord, they got good fucking
pastrami. That Jew food will kill you.
I love it. They got the original canisians
and shit. I love all that stuff.
Oh, I fucking love canisians
with some fucking dry
spicy mustard. Stop it.
But anyway, I want to talk to you guys about
Sunday, Monday.
I'm sorry, I cut you guys off short with the podcast Monday.
My sister died, and it took me by fucking storm.
It was terrible.
I got the text the week before from my niece saying that my sister wasn't doing too well.
She fell ill and that the doctors gave her like a week.
Well, they don't fuck around in Cuba.
When they give you a week, you die in a week.
She died exactly a fucking week later.
And it took me by, you know, surprised.
but she's 68.
You know, I haven't seen her since I was three,
and she was maybe 10 or something like that.
Who the fuck knows anymore?
After my mom died, we lost contact for like 20 years,
and then in 2009 we reconnected when I started talking to my uncle again,
and our relationship was good.
You know, I tried to invite her here,
but she was such a fucking commie.
She wouldn't come anyway, you know,
but I still loved her,
Anyway, I understood.
I'm happy that my sister passed away because her dream and my mother's dream are now fucking they came to fruition.
They're with each other.
So hopefully they're up there jumping up and down, calling each other fucking names and shit.
You know, my mother not having Maggie, that's her name, Maggie, my sister killed her.
That was the slowest torture in the world, them getting separated.
But it was just a story of immigration.
You know, this isn't something that just happened to my family.
This has happened to families from all over the world
and they migrate to the United States.
Sometimes a father would come and get settled
and then send back for his kids.
It's a fucking painful to live without your kids.
I know firsthand.
But my mother went through that and it was sad to see her go through that in the daytime.
She'd be a barrel of laps.
And then at night, once she was by herself, the pain would creep up on her.
You know, and we all have that.
You know, it's like when somebody close to you passes away, you know, for a couple months, you're fine in the daytime.
You're around people.
You're at work.
You're with your friends.
You're giggling.
At night, when you're by yourself, it weighs heavy on you.
So it weighed on my mother for years, and I know it weighed on my sister.
Because even when I spoke to it, when we didn't talk for a long time and then we reconnected,
We would have conversations, and she would tell me that, you know, her mother told her she was coming back for her.
And my mother never left it in Cuba.
Fidel closed the fucking borders.
He wouldn't let anybody end or travel.
We hired attorneys.
We did everything we could.
Politicians tried to help us, and we can never get my sister out.
And then she ended up marrying one of fucking Castro soldiers.
So she made a life for herself there.
I'm a little sad.
You know, I never got the, I never got closure with her to see her.
We spoke plenty on the phone and I'm good with that.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm one of those guys that, hey, I'll work it out.
I'll call fucking better help next week and talk to them and process this to right way.
Because I don't want this to come back and bite me in the ass later.
So I'm going to process this.
I'm going to grief this to right way.
And it's funny, we just had Jessumet Paluso on here speaking about grief.
You know, listen, everybody's going through this right.
now. The last two years,
everybody's lost somebody.
A friend, the relative, an uncle, an aunt,
and we all feel a little weird.
This was my fucking, whatever.
My sister gone.
But, hey, let's move the fuck on.
It's a great fucking week.
Tomorrow's St. Patty's Day.
Beside eating corned beef tomorrow,
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I still remember fucking getting a bus.
And we used to do a, like I did it one year.
I didn't really, what am I talking about?
Corkey, my friend Gregory, seven-day weekend, he would get a bus,
and we would all get on the bus and stop at all,
the Irish bars in the city, and do the crawl.
Oh, it's insane.
The bus smelled like puke.
Everything smells like fucking puke.
But it's a great day, you know, there's always something going on.
You know, my daughter's excited about it.
I'm excited about it.
Who the fuck knows?
A couple weeks ago, I was listening to, you know, in the car,
I have Sirius XM.
So I listen to a lot of classic vinyl
I listen to a lot of Ozzy's Bonaugh.
I listen to Octane.
I listen to disco, Studio 54.
They got great stations, 70s, 70s by 70s, 80s, 80s, and the 80s,
I don't fucking know.
They're all lithium is great.
They're all great stations, you know?
And last week, I mean, I've known a jelly roll for a long time.
We're like friends, you know, but I thought he was more of a rapper, you know.
And I've been caught up in my own world.
music the last couple of years.
A couple weeks ago on Octane,
he did a two-hour show,
when I was show or something on Octane,
and I was in the car driving,
and it was one of those things
that you don't want to get out of the car,
you want to finish this concert.
It was like a couple of years ago,
Guns and Roses ended their tour at the forum,
and it was a Monday night,
and I never forget that I went out.
My neighbors had gone to the Guns and Roses tickets.
They told me they had a box,
but I had a podcast that night,
And I never forget coming home from the podcast
And listening to live Guns and Roses from that show
They were there right
As it was going on
They were taping it, it's serious
And broadcasting it
And fucking Slash was going off, Jack.
Like Slash was going fucking off.
And I'm like, damn, I wish I was there.
This is how it was
With Octane, with fucking jelly roll.
His voice sounded so fucking tremendous.
It's so deep.
It's so deep.
soulful, you know, that dead man
walk, and he's got a couple songs
that are fucking tremendous. Well, after
I heard the Octane, I
called them up like a motherfucking man,
and I said, listen, I got to have you on the podcast.
Because you, my friend, they're
on your way up, you know.
It's just
tremendous music, you know? I even
let my wife listen to it
because she's from Nashville. His voice
is so fucking soulful.
It's like Barry White meets
the temptations, meets Johnny
cash meets fucking you know it's tremendous but anyway judge for yourself we did a little fucking
uh zoom i hope you enjoy it this is my man jelly roll give him some love 615
uncle joey welcome to the joint my brother what's happening jelly man i am awesome dude how are you
today my friend dude uncle joey i got to do the coolest thing over you knew this because we talked over the
weekend. I got to wake up this morning,
hungover, and announce my Red
Rock show on Morning Radio in Denver,
Colorado. Holy shit.
I know you would talk, the
guy hit me up in Columbus.
You know what's crazy? I called him after
our boy Loper. Loper
Randy Razor. I fucking love
them. I've known them since Florida.
Yeah, yeah. She's getting
prettier every time I fucking see it.
She's getting hotter and hotter.
She's got like four kids. She's
fucking beautiful. Yeah, she's getting
younger and he's getting older.
This is the typical, typical marriage, right?
Like me and my wife.
Yeah, that good fucking people.
How long have you been married for, Jelz?
I've been married going on seven years.
Wow.
And you have children?
The best business I ever made.
Oh, yeah.
I got a, I got a, almost, she's obviously
should be 14 in like a month.
We got full custody of her.
We've had full custody of her since she was eight or seven.
So I guess seven, eight years now almost.
And I got a seven,
year old boy, six year old boy.
Fucking tremendous, huh?
Yeah.
Dave will see you perform?
Oh, yeah. No, Bailey performs with me.
I'm going to send you a clip when we hang up. So my
daughter, she writes raps.
She writes songs. She plays the piano.
She plays the guitar.
She's incredible, man.
This kid is like golden. She's
everything. It's just insane.
And she's got a cool story, Uncle Joey.
So her mother
had had a bout with heroin
an addiction early in Bailey's life.
So I ended up getting full custody of her.
And my wife took her in a race her as her own.
She calls my wife,
Mama,
and her biological mom,
mom,
which I'm proud to say
her mother's sober now.
But her mother had about a five-year period
where she just kind of disappeared,
you know?
And Bailey came to me
when she was like eight or nine,
you know,
kind of mad about it.
And I was like,
well,
just write it out.
You know,
that's how I used to deal with my stuff
when I was raised.
Just write it out.
And I thought she'd, you know, write how she felt because she'd get emotional, you know.
This kid came back with a rap, Uncle Joey.
She went upstairs like her daddy and thought I'd go write a song about it.
And the kid came back with, like, a rap about how she felt about, you know, the situation.
So it was awesome, man.
I ended up putting her on the album and it was just cool, man.
So she gets on like every other album.
Now, the kid has published, you know, like my last four albums where she writes on.
That's fucking tremendous, man.
Yeah, he's awesome.
Mike and I were just talking about the music business.
It was hard when I was young.
Now it's even fucking harder.
And right now,
we're catching you on the motherfucking upswing.
I feel in my balls that you're about to blow up,
especially after this tour that you guys had.
Yes, sir.
This summer, that fucking one show in Louisville.
Yeah.
I got to tell you, man.
I don't, I'm not a big festival guy because you commit.
You're there all fucking day in the heat.
People are puking next to you.
You smell VD in the air.
You know, it's a fucking, those outdoor festivals.
I tell you, the lineups on that festival are fucking tempting.
Oh, dude, here's the good news, Uncle, you come.
You ain't got to worry about dealing with the heat.
We'll go from bus to show to bus to show.
That's it.
Yeah, for sure.
Well, so the bus get high, and then we'll go.
get a golf cart to pick us up, go see who want to see,
right back to the bus to get high again.
Now, are you performing all four days or just the one day?
I just got the one day.
I think I landed on the Sunday, I believe.
The Sunday.
And who else on that show, Kiss?
Oh, yeah, it was Kiss.
I have to look back at the list,
but I think the food fighters, Jane's addiction,
God, I mean, everybody, it's huge.
It's like, this thing.
It's going to be the biggest rock festival in America, like, attendance-wise, ever.
I fucking couldn't believe the bands.
I can't believe who's going to be there.
That's a great fucking festival.
This guy, so Danny Wimmer presents.
This guy named Danny Wimmer.
He's still one of the last independent promoters left on earth.
Old school indie guy.
And he throws four big festivals a year, incarceration in Ohio,
Rockville down in Daytona Beach at the Daytona,
Speedway, louder than life in Louisville, Kentucky, and aftershocking Sacramento.
And every one of them are fucking 50 to 100,000 people.
Huge rock festivals, all rock bands, old school.
I played one year with Guns and Roses.
I got the coolest thing in the world.
I took my daughter with me.
She's like maybe 10 at the time.
And I'm playing like, you know, at this time I'm playing like the 115 and the afternoon
slot right on stage seven.
You know what I mean?
And we're out there rocking.
You know, we're cutting our teeth and paying our dues.
We still had a huge crowd, so we were stoked.
And we go to see that and Ice Cube played that night before Guns Roses.
Man.
So Ice Cube's up on stage and he's rocking and he comes off stage.
And now keep in mind, my daughter's, you know, 10.
She don't know.
On the way there, she's like, what's Ice Cube doing this festival?
And she's like, she knows them from, are we there yet?
Like, she knows him from the movie.
You know what I mean?
And I was like, oh, wait until you see this shit.
So I play her Ice Cube the whole way to Louisville, you know?
And Ice Cube comes off stage.
He took a picture with one person at that whole festival.
Danny Wimmer told me this himself.
He took one picture the whole day he was there.
And it was with my daughter.
So Bailey's got a picture with Ice Cube.
It's like one of my pride possessions of her childhood, you know?
Fucking crazy.
Yeah.
And I was so proud of when she posted a picture on her, Joey, the caption said,
Today was a good day.
I was like, that's my fucking kid, dude.
That's my fucking kid.
So we sing Guns and Roses that night.
It's electric.
You should come, man.
I'm telling you.
Let me talk to Florentine.
Florentine has an older brother that goes to all those festivals,
you know, the one in Tennessee, all of them.
I think you were at the one in Tennessee when,
what's his name fell off the stage last year, right?
Didn't he fall off the stage of a singer from Motley Crew?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was all fucked up.
Yeah, Vince Neil.
Yeah, you want to talk about getting a bad hand?
He was killing it.
You know, he always gets a bad rep for like singing sometimes, you know, or whatever.
And he was like, they were like saying he was having like one of the best vocal performances in 20 years, Ben, or 15 years.
And it walks out there and misses the fucking step between the speaker and the stage.
That guy's the kiss of fucking that.
He really is the kid.
kids of death and I love him to death but no he can't when did you know you wanted to sing brother
man I didn't I felt limited by options life had limited my options at that point and it's all I've
ever wanted to do huh I like never wanted to do anything I never like my mom tells the story
I never wanted to be a firefighter I never wanted to be a wrestler like I wasn't like most kids
You know, I wasn't like, I didn't want to be a police officer, you know, a football player.
I wanted to be a rapper.
I wanted to be a rocker.
You know, like, I wanted to sing.
I wanted to write music ever since I was like seven or eight.
You said something very interesting.
You said that the limitations, what you had available to you.
What do you mean by that?
You know, so we grew up in a like middle, lower class community, you know, at my core.
my mother was a bartender, my father was a meat salesman at book bets.
So you didn't see a lot of people where I'm from, to this day, very few people from my little
neighborhood in Nashville did anything.
You know, I still got family members who have never left my neighborhood.
Like, they've never even come to my shows on the other side of town.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like in your world, it's like a motherfucker to grow up in Brooklyn and never went to Manhattan.
You know what I'm like, yeah.
Fuck, I need to go there for it.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, that's how they feel, you know?
I got people with old Southern motherfuckers that are still in that same trailer park right now.
It's like, yeah, you want to see us?
Come see us.
I'm like, yo, I'll like send you a black car to come eat dinner with me.
We're like, yeah, we don't care for me.
You bring your old, you bring your Hollywood asses trailer park come holler at us.
We're not going nowhere, you know, and they're just, so I just, I didn't see too many options.
And I knew I wasn't athletic, right?
And I was been chubby my whole life.
And music just kind of was the language of the neighborhood.
You know, it's a, it just spoke to me in a way that, the way I explained it to people,
was music is something we felt where I'm from.
We didn't listen to.
It wasn't background noise.
Like when some, certain songs came on, you watch the whole fucking neighborhood shut the
fuck up.
You know, like everybody was in this song.
Like, you know, conversations would stop if the right song came on the radio, you know?
My mother used to sit at the kitchen table and she'd be,
smoking cigarettes, right? My mother, you'd love her to death, Uncle Joey. She is fucking
as white trash as you would expect her. I fucking love this bitch. She is so white trash,
right? So, she's sitting at the table, she's wearing a fucking nightgown, a moo-moot,
smoking a cigarette. She's old country of shit. Smoking a cigarette right there to catch a
table. And she'd have a record plan. And she'd just close her eyes. She struggled with, like,
addiction stuff and mental health shit, you know. And I'd watch her smoke that cigarette
and she'd just be just, she was happy.
And it's like the only time I ever seen her, like, truly escape the shit, you know?
And I tell people that if a doctor would have helped my mom,
I might be a fucking brain surgeon.
But music helped my mama.
You know what I'm saying?
So music was what I related to helping, you know?
She played these old classic Motown records.
Backfield in motion, no, it's against the rules.
And she'd just be sitting there just smoking a cigarette, just backfield and motion.
and, you know, singing her little ass off.
She was just having a ball.
I don't know what pills she was on,
but I noticed when that song came on and she hit that cigarette,
she was fucking, woo, you know?
And I just remember thinking, man,
I want to make people feel the way she feels.
Like, to this day, I listen to Mittler to Rose,
and I cry because I think about my mother's sin at that table,
just smoking a cigarette smile and going,
play this in my funeral, baby, Jason.
Play this one right here for me, boy, this is the one.
You know, and she just crank it louder, you know.
and I just I think about that stuff
and how music made her feel
and I was like I want to make people feel
the way music makes her feel you know
it's a good way of looking at it man
but no when you said about your options
it's so weird how
I was in the same boat
we all feel like we don't have a lot of options
especially when our parents are dead
or they don't have money and we can't go to college
you know everybody you know
if you don't go to college
you're kind of not anymore
because college is a waste of fucking time now
but when I was going to school,
if you didn't go to college,
nobody really wanted to talk to you.
Right.
You know, the biggest thing in the 70s
was being, like, if you were a high school dropout,
you might as well be a fucking junkie.
You know, that was the,
so I quit high school, you know,
then I got the felonies.
I was a criminal.
I was hooked on drugs,
and that's the same thing.
You know, we're limited.
You know, I really wanted to be a musician,
but I know I would have pawned that motherfuckering
guitar. It doesn't
take a genius to know.
If I would have gotten to music, I would have been one of
those guys that would have had to take the
fucking amp out of Hawk,
the guitar out of Hawk. Like,
are we doing a gig Friday? I don't know.
I need $59 to get my fucking
amp out of Hawk. I was
always one of those guys. That's why I went for
comedy, because all you need is a microphone
and three motherfuckers,
you know.
And then the microphones provided, and that's
yeah. Right. So, so, so,
When you said that, it's very, like, this is what was handed to you.
And you ran with the fucking thing.
Yeah, I made a decision when I was 16, one of 15, I'm not proud of that we had,
we had got caught up in a robbery case, me and a couple of friends.
And I ended up being deemed as making charges as an adult right then.
So I sat in the juvenile detention facility here in Nashville.
I went the first time when I was 14 and I came home at 15.
When I came home from the transitional center, I ran, ran away or whatever and caught a robbery case while I was out.
Went back in, ran and caught a third case.
There was an old robbery that he came back to haunt me.
And I sat in that juvenile for like two, two and a half years, the juvenile penitentiary until the judge was like, no, we think he made the decision.
He was in, you know, they charged me as an adult.
probably 16, 17 years old.
And I went to the adult prison in with a violent charge.
And in the state of Tennessee, Uncle Joey,
they don't forgive violent offenses under no circumstance.
It's unexpungible down here.
Like, I need like a pardon or something.
So at that moment, I was like, dude, I'm never going to, you know,
I'd already knew music is what I wanted to do,
but I knew it was the streets or music at that point.
I've been into my life at that.
that point, I've already got hand tattoos, neck tattoos. I'm all the way there with it,
you know? So I was just like, man, I got to figure this shit out. And I came home and got
riled up in a little more trouble and had to go back and do the Watoosey one more time. I had to go
do the Texas two step in the county jail a little bit more. Like I tell people, I hadn't
finished touring the fine prisons of the state of Tennessee at that point. I needed to see a
couple more. And then I came home and while I was gone, I got a young woman pregnant on the way out,
on the way in.
So when I came out, the kid was two,
hence the 14 year old that lives with me now.
And that was the turning point for me.
But yeah, I just felt optionless.
I tell you all the time that our stories were so similar,
you're like the guy always related to the most in that world.
Because it was like, you know,
I didn't see nothing but this.
For me, it was just music.
It was like I started selling mixtapes out of the Trump,
you know, right here in Nashville.
I just like ride around when I got out of jail
and sell mixtapes out of the,
trunk and t-shirts and shit.
And here you are.
Here you fucking are.
You know, you were...
So when you came out and your daughter was two,
what was your first?
One was the first time you went into the studio?
When was the first time you wrote a lyric?
What were you feeling?
I had a lot of stuff from jail where I just sat in there
for a couple years of rope.
You know, I just wrote a bunch.
And I'll send you the clip of the video, but I came home and my dude at the time,
YouTube was new.
And I was so lucky I got to YouTube early, Uncle Joey.
It was back when you had to go on a hard desktop computer type in YouTube, you know,
cell phones or,
and my dude had bought like one of these little camcorders from,
my dude,
Chad Arms,
had bought a camcorder from Best Buy or some shit.
Like,
you know,
like an old standard,
like,
you know,
digital,
but,
you know,
he still flipped it,
you know,
Sony cam or whatever.
And Chad was like put on a beat in the studio,
like,
fifth day out of jail.
a little house studio the homie had
and he's like yo
rap to this jelly
so I've been in jail so I'm fired up right
and I'm just like rapping and just I'm just talking shit
well he ends up posting the clip on YouTube
and back then it went viral this is 10 11 years ago
where viral back then was like a couple hundred thousand views
you know this this was like you know
not long after fucking karate with Uncle Joey
right this is that era where like little clips like
it was so new to the internet shit was like
Like, you know, and it ended up getting put on World Star Hip Hop early in the World Star Hip Hop days.
And that was kind of the beginning of it launching some shit for me.
And we ended up having to take the video down because in the video I have a famous line where I say,
if it's a, they call the 10 minute freestyle, but I said if my P.O. asked, I hanged dry one.
Well, the shit went viral enough. My P.O. was like, yo, you can't be like making a mockery of this shit on the internet.
Like, you got to take this shit down.
So when I got off probation, we put it back up.
So I think the most recent upload still like eight years old.
And it did a couple.
It ended up doing a few million views.
And it was off to the races from there, man.
We just started chasing the YouTube thing, you know.
That's what it was like for everybody.
I remember those days where if you had like 20,000 downloads, fucking you were like number eight on YouTube.
I'll never forget being like number three.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, shit.
I'm going to get a boat pretty soon.
I never got a boat.
Yeah.
Who gives a fuck if you're number three and number one?
But I remember those days.
Like, people would stop me on the...
Those Joey Karate videos were fucking...
Listen, man, I was in Chicago.
I'd gotten fucked up the night before.
I had to get on a plane, a Southwest flight from Midway to L.A.X.
I'm in the air.
I'm like, I got to figure something out with my fucking life.
and I used to go to Taekwondo on Sunset Boulevard
next to El Camadre
and across the guitar center.
Right there, there's a, right next to the Sunset Grill,
which Don Henley sang about right across the street
is a Muda-Quan Taekwondo place on sunset.
I was bored when there, I went in there.
I had studied that style in Colorado.
So when I moved to do comedy, I saw it.
I'm like, oh, my God, you have this in L.A.
And the guys like, yeah, come on.
It took me about two or three, four years
to go in there.
I finally went in
and every time I would be in there
I was 400 pounds, Shelley.
So every time I had the
Gion, you know, I'd be doing the
forms and shit. People would just
be walking by like, you know,
like minding their own business.
And all of a sudden they were just looking to the karate school
and I'd see them go,
what the fuck is that?
And they would call the whole family over
and they would just stare at me
doing these moves with the fucking, you know,
with my fucking chubby body
and the green belt and shit.
So I was coming back and I just said,
you know what?
I'm going to make a fucking video today,
a joy karate video.
I'd never done it before.
As soon as I landed,
I called my buddy from Burbank Airport,
and he goes, I'll meet you in 30 minutes at the house.
I got home, took a shower.
Boom, we did our first joy karate video,
and it was fucking insane.
It was really insane back then.
Like, if you were a kid out of college,
You know, all the kids come out, they go to college, they want to be a doctor.
But then when they're in college, they see for, you know, they're in frats and shit.
And they all watch Say and I Live.
So then they get the entertainment bug and they fucking shoot videos and shit.
Dog, I remember being in meetings at networks with these other young kids.
And all of us getting deals to fucking shoot videos.
That's how crazy it was back then.
It was the real Farm League.
YouTube was really a farm team.
If you made it on YouTube, oh shit, you were going to fucking...
And hey, we did those joy karate's until they died.
And now people beg me to do them again.
But it's over.
It's time to move on, cock suck.
You don't go back.
Yeah, it's like people tell me all the time, do the 10-minute freestyle again.
I'm like, listen, man, I'll never have that much to say that fast again.
I had been sitting in a fucking 6x8 cell for two years.
I had a lot of wraps in my head.
You know, I was like, I had been entertaining the place every Friday for fucking 100 weeks.
I was ready to let it all loose, you know?
You would entertain people in jail with you rapping shit and fuck around?
Oh, yeah, man.
We would, uh, we do freestyle Fridays and they would have this utility room, right?
And I would, uh, I'd walk into the utility room with my sport because they'd give you a plastic sport when you first walked in.
Like, instead of giving you silverware every day, you got a sport.
fork when you came. It was like part of your shit. You know, it's like, you keep this
motherfucker. This is your way to eat. If you use it, you're cuff, right? You know? So I'd go on there
with my sport and I would, um, the utility room had a microwave or whatever. Everything's
a plexiglass glass and I'd go beat on the plexiglass window. Man, Uncle Joey, this one I knew I was
on to some, right? I'd go and I'd do it the, by the, by the, I'd do it the third time,
the third time I'd go. But by the time I got to the beat.
Doom, do you would watch them start running in.
Right?
I wouldn't announce it.
I just go, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom.
And by the time I got that last, that six, doom, the room would be feeling out, do, do, do, do, do, do, and I'd just start rapping, right?
And I'd be singing the choruses, and then I'd rap the verses.
And then I'd sing the chorus, and I'd pass it to, like, anybody.
I'd be like, all, you, look, look, such and such, you know, and then he'd rap.
And then I'd cut him off, and I'd bring the chorus back in and make, like, you know, it was
thing and it was like they knew it on Friday man when I walked in there with that sport they
just start piling in because there's only so much room in a utility room so everybody's
trying to get in here and people out there watching it they're standing on tables it was crazy
and I was like yo this shit might work now keep in mind I'm like one of three white dudes in a
220 man unit you know and I tell people I'm still from the era where especially in hip hop
you throw a rock right now and you hit a white dude that can rap right you know
I live in the country music capital of America,
and these country music dudes,
every time I get drunk with them,
like, I'd be rap a dude.
You know, they want a rap to me, you know?
And it's, in my era, no, sir.
Nobody.
There was very few white rappers, the Beastie Boys.
Eminem was bubbling.
We had a guy named Haystack down here.
This was even before Bubba Sparks
that put out his first shit, you know.
It wasn't, if you was a white dude that rapped,
you better be, one, really good,
and two, you better have a bunch of black dudes
standing beside you going, no, this is our guy.
You know?
So for me to go in there and rock that place, man, I mean, I was rocking the violent offender
gang unit of the prison.
Like, the killers were just in there, like, riding with me.
Like, yo, this white boy is crazy.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm singing these super soulful choruses, though.
You know what I mean?
And then it just kind of connected.
And when I came home, I had played with it before, but when I came home, I was like,
no, we're going all in.
Because I played with it one time.
When I made Bond at 17, my father, God rest of his soul, came and bonding me out.
And I called him the day they transferred me from juvenile to the adult jail.
And I had a radio in jail.
And the radio was like, Sunday night, Outer Limits, freestyle battle, $1,000 cash prize, right?
So when I call my dad, I'm like, hey, man, come get me.
I'm going to get you $1,000 back Sunday.
It was like, I was like, yeah, I just got to, you know, well,
I need you to buy me out and I need to borrow $100.
I need to sign up for it because it's like $100 entry fee.
You know, and I was like, and then I'll give you the money and I'll go win this thing.
And I had the most loving dad and mother because they just believed me.
Like it wasn't like some kid that was saying weird shit to them.
Like they knew how much I believed in myself.
So he was like, okay, I went to Joey.
I snuck in because I was underage.
I won that fucking freestyle battle.
I went in there and won that $1,000.
and it was a 10-week competition,
I won it for the next nine weeks.
It was like a job.
Every Sunday I would go to the fucking black club
and just roast people,
just smoked them.
And then, of course, my bond got violated
and back I went.
There goes to a devolving door of the jail.
But, yeah, so I mean,
I knew I was always into it.
It just started working.
It's so funny how, now that I think about
listening to your story about jail and my story,
man that's a great way to
fucking develop as a performer
because you always got a fucking audience
you know what I'm saying
they ain't got nothing else to do
you can either sit in your room or come listen
to my fucking stinky jokes
until they get better and even with music
I'll go in there with a ukulele I'll play a
fucking ukulele for some of those brothers
but the time they get out to all be listening
to Don Ho I don't give a fuck
because it's the truth
you're always going to have eight people to watch it
they're bored is shit you can only watch so much
fucking Bobby Flay
and so much fucking America's most wanted.
So food for thought for all you
young performers out there.
Think big. Think jail first.
Your story will be a lot
fucking better like ours.
Did you develop
the comedy routine in there a little bit?
Did you start getting into the storytelling in there?
I never
fucking dreamt of doing
stand-up comedy. And a
week before I got arrested,
a guy, I hated more than
fucking anal sex came up to me and he's like, hey man, I know you don't like me.
He goes, do you know what I did before I came to work here?
And I have no fucking idea.
I just didn't like the guy.
And he goes, I was an entertainment in Vegas.
I hired comedians and musicians.
And he goes, I'm not blowing smoke up your ass.
You'd be a great comedian.
I'm like, get the fuck away from me.
Like, I was still young, stupid.
I get the fuck away from me, you know?
and then I kind of thought about it.
Then I got arrested.
Then I came out on bail.
And I was just trying to get my life together.
There was no stand-up fucking comedy, you know.
And then when I got sentenced,
it took about a month to go to a destination,
like to go to the prison that you go to,
diagnostic, and then the prison,
they find the prison for you.
They sent me to a fucking camp, like a work camp, you know.
And they did little activities.
And on Thursday nights,
had movie night.
They would play like PT 109.
They never played a movie you wanted to see.
They were all black and white movies and shit.
And the projector would always break.
And when the projector would break,
the fucking guys would go Cuba,
go up there and talk shit
because I worked in the kitchen in the jail,
which is the best job in the jail.
It was me and 13 brothers.
I had a guy Echi that all he wanted to do
was work on his freezes
because he says if he's in jail for too long
to freeze,
won't sound, you know, like when he'd go, freeze!
So he'd come in the kitchen and go, freeze!
I'd tell him when to say it, and all the fucking prisoners
will hit the floor and shit.
It was fucking tremendous.
I would tell the prisoners with the food suck.
When they would come on the line, there was a few of my friends,
and I would just yell out, don't do it, don't do it!
And they knew to run back to their room and get an apple in the bag of chips.
So I was building like a personality in the kitchen,
like just being me fucking around.
I didn't want to be a stand-up.
And when the projector would break, they go Cuba, get up there and talk about people.
There was one black dude in the kitchen that nobody really liked.
Even the black dudes didn't like him.
He was like one of those orange brothers with freckles and shit.
And they used to fucking pay me to go off on him.
And the guy, listen, the guy was tough and in debt.
He was in there for murder.
But thank God, the guy had a sense of human.
He was bored of shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Because when you made somebody laugh in prison,
and it means a little more.
Like, people have no idea.
Especially when they came up to me and said,
Doug, why are you always so happy?
People don't like people in prison that are happy.
And I'm like, well, they're going to have to suck my dick
because this is who I am.
What are you going to be sitting here
and walk around with a mean face all fucking day?
You know, and it was like eight Thursdays in a row I went up.
And for the first time, after like the 10th, like the fifth Wednesday,
I thought about it Thursday.
I'm like, maybe I'd do it.
have a Korean stand-up comedy.
I'm like, that's never going to happen.
You know, none of that shit's going to happen for me.
And it wasn't to the librarian
who was in there for killing his wife and the mailman.
He came home from work and he found
the mailman fucking his wife.
So he killed the wife and he blasted the mailman
which made it a federal case.
Tremendous.
So, uh,
that's why I shoot the mailman.
They'll send you to a better prison,
Cogsuckus.
Always shoot the mailman.
So.
you end up up in Lompark riding horses and playing tennis
with gangsters eating fucking cabotelli and shit like that.
So when he told me that I should get into comedy,
he gave me a notebook.
And he goes, if you don't get into comedy,
by the time I get out, I'm going to come down and kill you.
So for years, I was ready for this motherfucker to come to one of my shows.
Obviously, he must have killed another mailman in jail
because I haven't seen this cocksucker at all.
And that's how I got into it.
That's how I fucking got into it.
But I,
let me ask you something.
Are you happy that you went to jail?
You know,
this is the way I thought about this.
I think that it paved the path for where I ended up.
And I'm not,
I'm not proud of the things I did that made me end up in jail,
you know?
But I do think that carved the path.
I don't think I'd have been who I am today.
had I not went through every part of the journey,
including the fucked up shit like jail.
It gave me the closest thing to character
and discipline and integrity I ever had.
You know, I had to learn how to politic.
You know that.
You was in there.
Like, I learned how to pop...
Dude, I wasn't juvenile at fucking 14.
You know, there's 17-year-old dudes in there fucking bench pressing baby mammoths with
beards.
I'm fucking 14.
You know what I'm saying?
I fucking, you know, I don't have a...
I don't have a...
one piece of hair on my dick yet, right?
My dick, my balls haven't dropped.
I still got this voice.
You know, and I'm in there with dudes that fucking look like they're fucking people's
moms and shit, you know, in the juvenile penitentiary.
And I had to learn how to politic and move in a room full of vultures.
And it taught me a lot about that.
And it helped me develop the craft, too.
I had never, I told this to my daughter recently, Uncle Joey.
I said, listen.
Because, you know, she's a songwriter now.
And I said, baby, listen, I can write a thousand songs with you.
but I can't write a thousand songs for you.
And if I could, I already did it
because I wrote thousands of songs, you know?
And, dude, I wrote thousands of songs in jail.
I mean, hundreds and hundreds of songs in jail.
You know, just, I didn't, like, what else was I going to do?
That's another thing.
If you want to write an album, if you want to write an album, go to jail.
Go to jail.
Because you write the best fucking album in the world.
Nobody's bothering you.
You can try your jokes on the cooks.
You can write the jokes that night.
Next time I do a special, if I ever do,
I'm going to jail for a year.
That's going to be the best fucking special
you've ever heard in your goddamn life.
Dude, I would...
We should just go be cellmates for a year.
Nobody's calling you.
Nobody's bothering you.
Nope.
Right? It's like I had to learn who I was
because, you know, you've so much time
you're spending just here,
just having to deal with you, you know?
And I definitely,
You know, I think it definitely gave me a lot of the charisma I had,
because I had to move around.
You know, I had to shock.
I had to move a little bit in there, Joe.
You know, I got in some hairy spots, you know.
I was running canteen and peddling a little weed in there and a little Coke.
You know, I had a little thing going.
So, you know, I was learning how to politic with all sides.
But I hate what I went through to get there.
But I'm glad that it worked out for me, you know.
I always tell people going to prison, let me know what I didn't want to do.
I tell people all the time
I think the worst
than anybody could do for you
to you as a man
is kick your bed
and tell you to wake the fuck up
nobody knows how much that bothers me
when a man
if a woman wants to kick the bed
and put a piece of pussy on me
wake me up bitch
wake me up before you go go
you know what I'm saying
I want to eat that monkey
fucking slow slow
so it's just weird
that when a man kicks your fucking
in bed and says get the fuck up you sack of shit.
That's a reality in prison.
And that was one thing I said to myself.
Nobody's ever going to do that to me again.
And then they make you stand up just to make your bed.
And then you can lay back down.
Yeah, then you can lay back down.
I was scared of spending the rest of my life in jail,
but I knew I wasn't going to take shit from those people in that, you know.
And it was fine after a month.
I got along with everybody.
But that's what I'm grateful to go to,
jail because it let me know it told me what I needed to do what I had to do and it also
let me know the things I didn't want to do anymore that you're not supposed to do as a man I don't
give a fuck what they tell you you know I was sad going to jail and seeing these people
talking about and you've seen this jails people talking about all the jails they've been to
like they went on tour oh yeah they did a fucking national tour I went to Red Rocks
I did the garden
I did fucking Tucson
I did Atlanta
these guys will sit there for hours
and tell you all the jails
you've been to and stuff
and they'll start telling you
what they liked about
what they liked about it
they were like y'all the food
over there was banging
oh my god
TV was just like what
yeah they got cable
what you don't have cable at home
you gotta go to fucking jail
for cable
yeah
I'll tell you I was in some good jails
dog I was in Boulder County Jail
that was voted
the number one jail in Colorado
that motherfucker had
carpets
cable TV and
Kool-Aid and
they let you talk on the phone
until the
if the dorm was up
till one they let you talk on the phone
till one. Wow.
Long distance calls too. I was calling
everybody all over the, I was calling
China, Japan. I didn't
give a fuck. Those states get good rates
on their phone services.
You know what changed
for me, Joey? When I walked in
and
whenever I
the bond thing
came out and I had to go back
to the adult jail
and I went in
did the time
came home
and violated again
the last time I went
when I was an intake
a guy that I was in juvenile
with eight years before that
right nine years before that
uncle Joe he comes and sees me like
what's up jailing man I'm like oh shit I didn't see you since we were in
such and such a juvenile spot
he was like yeah yeah you know they
he'd tell him right thing like they're going to classify you to the
You know, the unit where all the shit is, you know, I just, because of my charge,
his previous, I knew where I was going.
I go there every time.
So I'm like, yeah, who was over there?
He's like, bray, everybody we was in the juvenile penitentiary with.
And at that moment, I was like, because he was happy to tell me that, like, oh, you're
going to love it.
It's a family reunion.
And it hit me in a way, Uncle Joy, where I was like, man, I got to break this, man.
Like, this is, you know, I became a part of the revolving door.
You know what I'm saying?
Where it's like, you know, when you're getting a reception and.
the local jail from guys you've been locked up with on and off for 10 years.
And they're like, jelly Rose here, what's that big dog?
You know, and they're like, and of course, I'm just like, man, this shit ain't,
I got to change this.
And I ain't been back and do that.
I go back now.
I go to the juvenile once every three months and talk and do like a seminar and I'm sending
pizzas.
And I'm currently working to build a studio in that juvenile that I was in for all those years.
But besides going back to see, talk to people, man, I ain't been, man, I hadn't.
man, I hadn't had a crossword with a law officer in fucking fucking 10 years,
12 years.
It's been close to the last time I got a ticket, which had to be 20 years ago.
That's the last time I had, you know, police contact trouble.
It's been since 97.
Yeah.
That, you know, and you just, if you're at home watching this, listen, man, you get in trouble.
You get caught by drugs.
It's a fucking rotating door.
Me and Jelly will tell you all fucking day long.
But you get stronger sometimes.
You get stronger.
And you go, I don't want to do this anymore.
And that night you end up doing a gram of Coke.
That's okay.
Because you're heading in the right direction.
Yes.
Once you acknowledge all this shit
that what you're missing and what you should be doing,
you're heading in the right direction.
It takes a while.
I mean, Jellyroll, you're talking about all this shit.
And you're at the precipice of, you know, blowing your talent.
Like, you're a fucking huge talent, you know.
What are your influences?
I'm very curious to find out here.
So I was the baby.
I have two older brothers and an older sister.
And my sister's, my older sister's boyfriend, a husband now, has been with her since I was like two.
So I always had him in the house.
And because of being.
being the baby, I never got to control the radio, right?
So I think that's what makes my sound so unique is, you know,
when I'm listening when I'm hanging out with Mama, we're listening to like Motown.
You know what I mean?
We're listening to sitting in the mornings.
Navi's in when the evening comes.
I get in the car with pops and he's bumping James Taylor, right?
Or like Kenny G.
He was singer-songwriter.
He liked softer music, like jazz or like jazz.
like James Taylor, Jim Croce, you know, all those classic singer-songwriters.
And then I get in the car with my brother, and he's nothing but Tupac, right?
He's like gangster wrapped out, like my older brother, you know.
And then I get in the car with my sister and she's listening to nothing but Metallica,
the black album.
Nothing but, you know, like all this rock and metal.
And I never got to get in the car and say what I want to listen to.
I'm the baby, right?
You know, I'm the, I'm the baby at the house.
So every time I would get in the car, because, you know, I'm from an era.
I joke with my daughter all the time.
She walks around with her fucking iPhone, you know, player music.
You know, she'll be in one room, her iPhone playing music.
My wife's in another room, iPhone playing music.
You know, we take music everywhere now.
In my era, you listen to music one or two fucking places, in the car or in the house.
And that was if you was rich enough to buy the CD or cassette tape twice.
You know what I mean?
You have a cassette or you had this transfer it with you, you know?
So every time I was.
we'd ride or something.
I just listened to different
musics and I was kind of influenced by all of it.
I went to Lollapalooza in 97.
Snoop Dog,
my sister took me.
Snoop Dog,
Tool,
corn,
and prodigy are playing.
Okay?
And I remember watching it go from Snoop Dog to corn
to tool
and thinking,
man,
I want to do all that.
Like right then,
I just was like,
and I remember how well it went over.
This is 97.
You know, people act like genre blending is like a new thing now.
You know, it's like, dude, this is 1997.
I watch Snoop Dog come out literally between prodigy and fucking corn.
You know what I mean?
This is the height of Snoop Dog.
This is 97 Snoop Dog.
This is like the year after Pockdad.
This is gangster party.
This is, you know, Jen and New Snoop Dog.
This is like Snoop Dog, you know.
It was the case that they get.
me Snoop God.
This is that Snoop, y'all.
This is pinnacle Snoop, you know.
And he shut that motherfucker down.
And he smoked a joint on stage.
You know, back then that was like,
he might as well have been shooting heroin
in front of everybody in 97
in Nashville and the Bible Belt.
You know what I mean?
He might as well just been doing
big stripes and cocaine in front of the whole world, you know?
And he comes off stage and then corn comes out.
And this is corn, you know, Adidas corn.
All day, I dream about sex.
This is like that corn, you know, and I just like, just watched it.
And I was like, man, this is crazy.
I just left so inspired.
I was like, I want to do that.
You know, that's what I told my sister then.
It's funny.
It was at an amphitheater.
And this is this year, besides this East Coast run I'm fixing to do, which is club dates from last year,
I play nothing but amphitheaters the rest of the year.
Ain't that crazy, Joey?
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Dude, 25 years removed from going to my first show ever, which was at an amphitheater.
I'm playing them.
I'm like, holy fuck, man, it's just fucking, it's panning out.
It's crazy, man.
It really is crazy.
As of today, Uncle Joey, we got the number six song on Popular Rock Radio.
Dead Man Walkers is a number six song on the popular rock radio.
I got a song called Son of a Center that just broke into the top 50 on country radio.
so we're slides, baby.
I think it was that.
Now, what's the band, SMS?
Dead Man Walking with?
Who'd you do it with somebody?
Because that's, I had heard you earlier on.
You reached out to me,
and I heard one of your songs,
but I thought it was like a rap.
You did it with somebody else.
Yeah, well, I forgot which one it was.
I'd had a freestyle, too,
that we'd met each other on Twitter over,
Kashab and reposted it.
And I shouted you out
because I've been such a Joey fan forever.
This was a few years back.
And I remember I said,
mad flavors like Joey was happening now.
And even back then Joey retweeted it and put,
There you go.
There you go.
But the shit I heard two weeks ago on Octane,
I couldn't even get out of the car.
Oh, dude.
Thank you.
When you listen to music and you don't want, you know, somebody called me the other day.
Oh, how about this?
My agent called me.
And I said to her, I can't fucking believe.
I was listening to California Love.
And it was the part where Tupac's about to throw out on jail, fresh out of bail.
And all of a sudden, my agent called.
And I told, I just said, I go, you just fucked up the Tupac solo on California Love.
She goes, you want me to call you back?
I go, no, it's halfway fucking over by now.
But I'll tell you, the day listening to your octane blew me the fuck away.
I think it was Dead Man Walking, Save Me.
Yep.
Is that it?
Save me is a fucking jam.
I think smoking section and only were on there.
Because they did the live thing, right?
Did you catch the one where I did all the live?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I know that that smoking section was on there.
