You have a hand with a stick on it and you scratch your back with the stick.
Okay.
I used to have one from my asshole, like a little stick and he's just fucking from the back.
If you're a little too fat, you're mathematically inclined.
You can't scratch your ass, you can't wipe your muffler.
It's Monday, cock suck.
It's a beautiful day to be alive.
What the fuck.
Fort Lauderdale was great.
Thank you.
If you live in the Fort Lauderdale area, South Miami, whatever the fuck you're from, if you came
to the shows last week, and I had a great time.
I've always had this special thing.
with Florida kind of sort of where
I don't know what the fuck it is
like when I get there first I'm like I'm in fucking Florida
I'm in a swamp bitch
and then it just builds up and it gets beautiful
and I really had a great time
it's a great fucking club and that hard rock
casino it's pretty interesting man
it's pretty interesting that
you don't really need to go to Vegas
to lose your fucking mind no more
the reason why Vegas is dead
I thought it was because of the economy
it's not really because of the economy
because these different cities
I don't know which ones they exactly are, like Atlantic City, you know, whatever.
They have casinos, and some of these casinos, I mean, when I was a kid, I went to Atlantic City, I'm like, fuck this.
This does not compare with Vegas.
This is not, I don't even know why they did this.
But now, 20 years later, I'm starting to see it.
I'm very fortunate.
I get to go with Joe to the fights in Vegas, you know, once or twice a year.
So I was observed.
You've got to observe where you're at, and you see the growth, and you see if there's cranes, and you see if there's construction going on.
So when I pull into a, you know, and then when you go to a casino, I mean, sometimes you go to a casino, and the casino's job is to have everything there you're going to need.
Everything.
They even tell you in the fucking bathroom.
You need anything.
Come down, a comb, a douche, a fucking tampon, whatever the fuck you need, they'll give you.
You know, they have shopping.
Whether it's expensive or not, they have shopping at the casinos, you know.
They have fine dining and they also have pizzas and they have food courts.
I don't know.
I always get confused.
I think for the two fights.
They either go at the Mandalay Bay Casino or the other casino,
and there's one of the casinos that has a food court.
So you don't drop $80 fucking a meal while you're there,
and you've got to stand online.
You can just go get a quick slice of pizza at the food court,
they have a movie theater.
The MGM Grant, I think.
That's the one.
I get them confused, so please don't quote me on this.
But I went to the Hard Rock last week,
so I'm at the Hard Rock and whatever.
You go down the stairs.
You got the Hard Rock restaurant.
You got a food court, pizza, a deli, you know, Cuban.
Chinese, you've got
a spa, you've got a pool,
you've got shopping, you've got hard rock
memorabilia. Then you walk outside
and have a complete different world.
They have more restaurants,
a little fancier-type restaurants.
They have nightlife, they had bongos,
that, you know, toy stores. They had all
this shit. I mean, I walked around every day
and every day I saw
what they were doing. And I kept saying,
now I get it. The 24-hour kitchen
I ate out, let me tell you some.
It was superb for what I was getting. I was very
blown away. The first thing I got that,
I was starving, I just got two eggs
and oatmeal at 11 o'clock
at night. I don't know why. I just didn't feel like nothing.
You know, if they fuck up the eggs and the
oatmeal, then there's nothing reason to eat it.
And I had it, and the eggs were delicious.
The oatmeal was delicious. I think
one of the days I had a
chop salad. It was fucking delicious,
you know? But the one day,
you know, let me tell you something. I live in California,
and sometimes I forget. I forget, and I don't
forget. I don't forget. I don't forget. I
always try to keep it as old-fashioned as I could be.
And I know that for some people, a lot of people listen to a podcast, they're a little
younger, and I have different fucking issues, and I have issues.
You know, I hate when I go to buy something at any business, and I'm saying this,
and I normally get some backlash from people.
I hate when I go to fucking buy something, and there's somebody behind the counter
who doesn't understand the language.
It bothers me a little bit.
It pisses me to fuck off, and I don't get mad at them.
they just come to America.
They're looking to strive.
I get mad at the people that hire them
because these are the people
are going to be talking to your customers.
So if people are going to come in here
and they do not understand
what the fuck you're talking about.
Number two, if you're going to hire somebody,
make them knowledgeable of the foods
and how they're served and how they're prepared.
A lot of people look at businesses and investments.
I talked about this with the North Ridge Dairy Queen.
I went up to, me and my wife moved to the Valley
four or five years ago before,
or Mercy was even a thought.
And one night we're on a date night, and we go,
let's go to Derry Queen. And we both got Dairy Queen,
and it was fucking horrific.
Really? It was horrific.
And we looked at the people owned it, and absolutely they were from another country.
I'm not going to mention, I'm not going to be racial incentive here.
It doesn't matter.
My point is that there was fucking somewhere else,
and they didn't know a Dairy Queen was.
They bought a Dairy Queen because of an investment.
So when we went in there, we were looking for a slurpy, whatever.
They're like, we don't know what the fuck it is.
You know those great Mr. Misty?
with the vanilla ice cream.
And I got upset and I see it sometimes.
Me and my wife go to get spaghetti
at this fucking horrific place in Burbank.
And last time we went in there,
I had to say something to my wife
because I'm like, I don't fuck around with these people.
They don't know what you're talking about.
They don't know how to serve spaghetti.
They're from another fucking country.
They don't even eat spaghetti in their own fucking culture,
so they don't know how to serve it.
Nobody's ever taught them how to serve it,
how to fucking the presentation, you know,
whether it has this or not on it.
What the fuck?
So you've got to tell them, Terry.
So I'm sitting there the other day, and that I'm in the East Coast.
Now, one thing I love is old Jews.
I love old Jews that let you know how the fuck it is, because we don't have this here.
I do not have this freedom and this honesty in Los Angeles and anything that you do.
I'm in the entertainment business.
So the people I deal with can't make eye contact, they won't return your calls.
They rather not return a call than give you a no.
That is the weirdest thing that I've ever encountered.
if I go in and do something for you
Instead of you going, Joey, you were not right for the part.
They'll avoid contact.
They'll avoid with everything altogether.
So maybe somewhere down the line, they'll bump into you with a job.
And you, you know, it's just creepy shit.
Creepy fucking human being shit.
Humans don't treat each other like this shit.
So they don't look.
You know, it's just a fucking, you see these people,
and you know they're fucking cunts.
You know in their daily lives,
they're fucking pieces of shit.
but they try to keep it together.
Those people I spot,
I spot those people right to fuck off
when they try to keep it together
because I know they can't keep it together
for that long.
Eventually their true fucking colors will come out.
Eventually, within fucking minutes,
they'll say something,
you go, oh, I fucking get it now.
So that does not happen here.
We don't see that here.
We do not see people live through their emotions here at all.
Their emotion is,
people even go to church in this town
as a social activity.
People will switch religions
just to be at a socialist.
Oh my God, you know,
Jim Norton comes to this church.
That's the reason people are fucking disgusting out of here.
So you're at damning this food court in fucking South Florida,
or whatever, Fort Lauderdale at the Hard Rock.
And nothing looks good.
You know, when you walk from window to window
and nothing fucking looks good.
I want to go to Jedeli.
I'm not in the move for a fucking corned beef,
a pastrami sandwich.
I go to the Cuban spot.
Everything didn't look that good.
and some fucking Swahelian was serving.
I go to the fucking Chinese thing.
That shit looked disgusting.
And I didn't want to sit in a restaurant again.
I didn't want a fucking omelet.
I didn't want a Philly cheese steak.
I didn't want none of that shit.
So I'm sitting there and I'm going from window to window to see what could yell out at me.
What screamed my name?
And I look over and I see this little Jewish guy.
Probably like Lee's dad, like the age.
That's all.
That's all South Florida is.
That's all South Florida is.
He's got sandals on.
He's got a.
No Yamaka, but his hair's a fuck up.
He doesn't have a Yamacan.
I can tell when I saw him, this is my man right here.
This is Jew Central.
So how often does this happen?
Then you see some guy?
You're like, I got to stay here.
I just know.
I just have a feeling.
I feel other people that are like me sometimes.
So I'm looking at this guy and I'm like, oh, let me just see what this motherfucker is going to do.
Maybe he's going to order something that's interesting.
He goes, excuse me.
do you work here sir he tells this kid
and i don't know what nationality this kid is
i know he's not american he's not spanish
he's not brazilian he's something else i don't know
and he goes to the kid excuse me do you work here and he's kind of nice the guy
he's opening up very nice hi i'm why you he goes you work here kid dia he goes listen i need a nice
sandwich all right he goes i want uh this on this with a little bit of this
And he goes, on top of that, I want some liver.
Right?
Just like that, I want some liver.
The guy goes, huh?
He goes, I want liver.
Liver, you know liver?
You got liver?
It's around here somewhere.
He can't find it, the guy.
He's like, liver.
Liver, uh, liver.
You know, liver.
The guy's like, liver, liver, and I'm standing right there.
I'm about the way.
And the guy looks at me like, can you believe this shit?
And he looks back at the fucking guy.
And he goes, liver, liver.
Liver, you put it on a sandwich.
You know, liver.
You don't know what liver is?
and the guy's like, liver, liver?
Like, you keep saying, I do not know.
Liver, you fuck, liver.
The guy's trying to keep it together, and I can see his face getting red.
He's like five foot to me.
He's like, liver.
I told you liver.
Don't you know how to say fucking liver?
Who hired you?
What that?
And also in the middle of his rage, he goes, where's your manager?
Maybe that fucking guy speak English, and he turns, and the door swings open.
Like, you couldn't write this.
The door swings open.
And a guy comes out with a dot in a fucking turban.
I mean, and he looks at him and he goes, liver.
I'm looking for fucking liver because the guy was old.
Now he's getting upset.
He's liver.
I want liver on my sandwich.
And the guy's like liver.
And he goes like, you don't know either?
What the fuck?
What?
Can somebody please hire somebody?
It's a fucking American.
And he says something in this thing.
And as he pulls away, he looks at me.
We make eye contact and he goes, tell me about it.
I said to him, tell me about it.
Now finally somebody thinks like me.
I go, tell me about it.
He goes, go fuck yourself too.
And he just walks away from me.
nine of the ten I was told the old man to go fuck himself
but I haven't been told to go fuck myself
for such a long time like that
that I kind of liked it I was like I love this fucking old guy
I was like yes there's finally old fucking Jews in the world
he told me to fuck off that's what he said
I go hey tell me about it you know because he
he yelled once the Hindu came out
with the turban he fucking lost it
he looked at him like I was looking for an American
and they throw this fucking guy out here
this is worse than Sprint because Sprint
Sprint always throws a fucking Hindu at you at the end
and you get them call sprint, bro.
Don't throw an American out of you.
To throw the fucking full court press on you,
don't throw a Hindu at you, and your world is done.
Your world is done.
Hello, hello, what the fuck?
I'm telling you, I did not call Cambodia.
And the thing is, I know these people, because that's all,
okay, so for people who don't know,
Fort Lauderdale and Boker-Rtoe in that area,
everyone from New York, New Jersey, Boston,
and that's all that is.
All the Jews go down there when they're about 70, 60,
something like that.
So the casino probably had a deli
In New York Delacetessen
But that's just because
I mean my dad goes to one every week
But they probably didn't have
They probably had turkey and ham
That's what they had. They had turkey
Ham corned beef
No brisket
No brisket
That's why he was mad too
And they have so a liver
Is this like it's like only Jews
Like it's really strong
You know Mitsy Shaw used to send me to the store for Tong
Oh yeah
Tongue her me and Ari
She used to send us as Ari
As Ari next time we talk
I've never done tongue, but it's...
Chop liver isn't that bad.
It's pretty fucking strong to put on a sandwich.
You've had it?
I have it occasionally.
You can only really have a couple bites.
I couldn't imagine smearing it on a sandwich like cream cheese.
But this guy wanted it, and he was making a sandwich,
and that poor guy was like, all I know is turkey, ham,
roast meat, what kind of cheesy one put on it?
But then again, you know, I don't know.
I just feel sometimes.
And listen, you got to give everybody an equal opportunity employee.
And I'm surprised the guy started out.
out nice because all the old Jews I know like
that they started out yelling like they
started out already angry. He was
angry but he was keeping it controlled
I could tell he was angry when he walked up
yeah he was looking for something to fuck
with him so he could run back to his wife and yell
that was some shit at the penny sloths or
that's the thing about casinos and I love
gambling and it's just
it's in me but whenever I
go to a casino like that it's just like
when you see like the hordes
of old people just like with the
penny slots with buckets of pennies
I'm like, Jesus Christ.
Let me tell you what I did see this weekend.
What?
I was to show you.
I saw it in Vegas.
They told me they haven't in Vegas.
I've never seen it in Vegas.
You can play war.
Oh, the card game.
The card game.
You've seen that before?
I don't know if I've seen it in Vegas.
I've never seen it in Vegas.
The guy goes, it's very popular.
I didn't see one person playing war all fucking weekend.
But when I went and asked the guy, and I'm sad, I go, so this is just like regular
war and he goes, yeah, $10 a card.
I was like, ooh.
That's not me.
I'm a Cuban Jew.
I work too hard to fucking gamble.
$10 a car. But he goes
It's very popular. So I watch the table.
Every time I walked by, there was never
no. Not one person. I saw playing war.
Probably all blackjack roulette and
Blackjack? I think they don't have craps.
They don't have craps or roulette.
Really? In Vegas. But I did see like a machine
where it's virtual blackjack. A chick is
in a computer. Hot chick
and she's playing card. Can't do that. That's
just going to rip you off right away. If when it's a machine
they can rig it, at least when it's car
you have some sort of a chance.
So a couple weeks ago, like you said,
You opened up the conversation.
A lot of people moved down from the East Coast to whatever.
When you and I did the documentary, we went to a corner one day, and I looked at a house.
And I said to you, that's the house that started my movement.
That was the final straw in my decision to leave.
I got accused of robbing a house.
My friend called a couple weeks ago, Anthony Vanieri.
Anthony Vanierry is running for freehold, but he's replacing Thomas Ligio, a good, good guy.
Tommy Ligio is a good guy.
father.
We'll get to this later.
When I went to a couple weeks ago, I got to email a Facebook from a friend of mine.
A girl that, a freshman year, I fucking went to freshman class, and she was, I was friends
with a kid named Michael de Guilme, who came to this stress factory, who him and I were
very tight growing up.
Okay.
And he had a friend named Roseanne Diagestino, and Roseanne came over.
We were all, Diaz Diagostino, DeGuombe, we were all in the same homeroom in high school.
and she needed a locker.
And I said to Roseanne, my freshman year, I mean, I didn't know nobody.
Roseanne, if you want, you can share lockers with me.
So she shared lockers with me, and it was great.
I put my books on that.
I didn't really.
Then she had her friend.
Her friend needed a lock, so she goes, my Maria Deladonna, what I think that was her name.
She's no longer with her.
She died in high school like two years later.
And so me and Roseanne always stayed friends.
To strengthen the bond, Roseanne had a brother that I was very tight with.
Me and him took a hit of acid one time and got on the bus in New York
and took it all the way down.
for the Jersey Shore and play the ACDC on a fucking big one of those ghetto blasters and the
bus driver kept stopping going next time you put that thing on we're going to throw you off the bus 10
minutes in we put the fucking highway the hell on the guy would stop the bus I had a thousand last
with Di Agostino the Agostino was crazy when I was kids so I got a call I got an email from her
on Facebook a couple weeks ago saying hey I see that you're coming for a lot there I'm going to
come see you I'm going to tell the girls and I didn't know what she was talking about and she
said these two names and there were two girls i hung out with one of them i had an encounter with i was
romantically with her for a while we were kids and the other one i was just dear friends with
and we all grew up together we were all we were all in this circle later on they came into my life
from 16 to 22 or something like that we were always together and then uh in the winter of 84
i was fucked up guys i was just in bad shape i i broke away from society like in june
I was in love with a girl and we were dating and then we broke up and she started dating her old boyfriend and I was looking for the girl to save me.
Sometimes you're not looking for a relationship.
You're looking for a woman to save me.
This was my ticket into, you know, having a house and all this shit.
You know, in the back of my mind, I thought if I hooked up with her, you know, so whatever happened.
So I went and then cocaine was pretty relevant.
It was everywhere.
So I got hooked on the cocaine.
I was trying to get a job, hold the job in New York.
and it was just falling apart.
I couldn't make it to my job at 5 o'clock.
You know, somebody said that I did the Eddie Bravo podcast last night,
and the people were hitting Lee, like,
how's he going to wake up in the morning, bitch?
If I tell you, I'm going to be there.
I'm going to be there in the morning, especially,
especially for you motherfuckers.
But in these days, I didn't think that way.
I didn't give a fuck about anybody
or their time schedule or what it meant, you know.
I had no responsibility.
I didn't claim any.
And in that process, they hung up with this other girl
named Joy and Ligio.
That was a very sweet girl.
And I became friendly with her and the mother and the brothers.
And one day I went to Calais.
After I screwed my uncle over, the one that did the podcast.
Yeah.
After I tried to rob him at my gunpoint, when I got off the plane, I got a call.
I called me and they go, hey, Joanne's looking for you.
So I'm trying to call Joanne.
And she goes, my mom said, if you ever need a place to sleep, you could sleep here.
So I immediately went over there.
God forbid I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to sleep in somebody's house for free
and mooched their fucking food in those days, you know.
wouldn't have to cover that shit.
I would just have the money to snort.
God forbid.
So I stayed with them.
I think I moved in with them October,
like the end of October around Halloween.
And I stayed with them until like the first week of December.
And I got to tell you, people, it was eight, six weeks.
I didn't make any effort to change my life.
You know, sometimes somebody put you on a couch and they say,
Joey, this is you, open the refrigerator to all you.
All I want from you is to wash your dishes and do me a favor, bro.
get up in the morning and go get a job
go get a job to help yourself out
so in six to eight weeks you get an apartment here
you can stay here for free
I'm not going to charge you today
you've done it with people
you can stay here for free
I don't want nothing from you
all I want you to do is
wake up an eight keep this clean
I don't want no fucking
you know don't put drama in my life
but most important if I'm going to give you this opportunity
two or three months to live rent free
get a job
you think I got a job
fuck no I want it to be Johnny Coke dealer
I wanted to be Johnny Coke dealer
and Johnny Mafioso
and sell coke and burn people.
So one day, one day, like December 12th,
I never forget the date.
She comes to me and she goes, you got to go.
Just out of the blue.
She goes, I'm throwing you out.
You haven't made any effort to fucking do anything with your life
and you haven't stopped snorting coke and that, and it was true.
I'm not here to tell nobody I wasn't.
And I took my little army bag.
In those days, I had an army bag filled with clothes
and a couple pictures.
And I fucking just lived on this.
streets. That was one of the last three weeks of December when I basically just lived on the streets.
Now, you talk about the East Coast being cold. I lived on the streets. I took my luggage to a friend's
house and I would pick through clothes at night and change and take a shower wherever I could.
It was just a horrible living. It was a horrible way of living. So I hit rock bottom December 31st,
1984. I robbed this kid, Joel. I went to a hotel and it snowed a lot. It snowed like two feet
of snow. And I knew they were going to come get me. I had like 2,000.
thousand dollars of that money and I called my teacher mr.
Taranova that's called the podcast and he picked me up and I left that area forever and that was it
I got my life I went up to mr. Tees and I tried to I stayed clean and
About three weeks in
I get a call I call a friend of mine and they're like dog what the fuck did you do
And I go what are you talking about and they go
The cops aren't looking for you but somebody robbed Ligillo's house and
They know it's you man and I go
dog are you fucking kidding me
I haven't even
at that time when the
Ligio house had been robbed
I wasn't I was never even
in that area
I owed $20,000 my step
my godfather was looking to kill me
my stepfather was gonna kill me
God knows who else was looking to
fucking put a bullet in my fucking leg
trust me I wasn't gonna go back to West New York
North Bergen whole book
none of those fucking spots
so
he tells me this and he's like
bro you robbed the house
and I fucking called another friend of mine
and they're like you're like
Yeah, we got the call last night.
When they were at the football dinner,
somebody broke into the house
and took all the jewelry and shit.
Now, the other part of the story was that
Joanne Leggio's mother
was a degenerate card gambler.
And I knew, because I knew people in Hoboken,
I knew different people, that she owed money.
She owed money, and she had been borrowing money
from her daughter's college fund.
I knew all these things.
I knew them.
You know, the daughter didn't know, the husband didn't know.
This was before he became a freeholder.
This was when he was down and out.
He had lost his job at Pepsi.
So I get this call.
You know, you robbed the house.
And I'm like, I didn't love no fucking house, you know.
But it didn't matter.
Listen, I had everything against me.
I had no real alibi.
You know, T was like he's here with me.
So what did I do?
I call the chief of police in North Bergen,
who I knew dearly.
I hung out with his son.
And I said, Mr. B, you know, I've known you a long time.
I've eaten at your house.
Listen, I've done a lot of bad things.
I robbed this.
I did this.
You know that.
He laughed.
I go, but this thing I didn't do.
If you want me to come down and give a statement or get fingerprinted or whatever.
And he goes, listen, something ain't right, but I'll get back to you later.
So I guess that they broke in, but there was no real breaking.
There was no, that's why she thought it was me because there was a key.
I never really had a key to the fucking.
house. I just knocked and then let me in or I had the back door was open because the two boys.
So they accused me a rob in the fucking house. So this is all over the place now. And I'm trying
to fight back. I'm trying to call everybody. Now why for someone who's done all that stuff,
why did it bother you so much? It bothered me because I didn't rob it. At that time, everything
that got robbed was me. Every time. And then a week later they go, oh no, it was the sister. And I get
fucking, you know, somebody robbed
somebody and then I would get a call, hey, bro, did you hear
what happened downtown? They broke into
whatever's house. And then a week later,
it was three Puerto Rican down the corner.
So I would always get vintageized.
Okay. Vindicated.
So even though you were doing it
when you didn't do, you're like, it wasn't me.
There was a point where everything that somebody
did, it went back to me. If I was even in
that fucking area, and sometimes
I was responsible for it.
And sometimes I wasn't.
For some reason, guys, this one
really bother me. This was at the tail end of a part of my life when I was in bad shape.
And when she threw me out, it hurt me, because I thought she was my friend. I knew a lot of
shit about the mother, like I'm telling you right now. I knew a lot of shit about the mother,
and I thought we were good friends. And I understood her throwing me out of the house. Hey,
I understood that. I wasn't mad about that at all. This went on, and it ain't away at me.
It ain't a way at me that she thought I robbed the house. You know, and I knew the truth. I knew
that it was an insurance camp for her to get the cash back.
And I knew a lot of little things.
You know, she had pulling the jewelry.
She was getting her jewelry estimated.
So I knew something was in the horizon, you know.
And I got to tell you, it really bothered me.
But it made me who I am today.
So this went on.
This rumor went on.
And I called one of the girls, not Roseanne Diagostino.
This is 85.
I called one of the girls.
And her and I remained friends for a while,
even though she was tight with Joanne Ligie.
This girl, Tasia and I, remained friends for a while.
And then Tasia got into her own hassles, her and her boyfriend killed a couple driving.
It was fucking crazy.
It was dreaded with drunk.
Tasia got vindicated, but the boyfriend ended up going to jail.
And I left.
I left.
No, right before, I didn't leave yet.
And her and I were very tight, this girl, Tasia.
But as time went on, our relationship, and it was because of the Joanne thing.
Now, the other girl, who I was romantically at one.
time with Lisa. I called her
one day. Me and my buddy were thinking of taking a vacation.
I called her one day and I go, hey, me and my buddy
were thinking to take on a vacation, I want you to sell me the package.
And she put me on hold, and then she picked
the phone. She goes, listen, I've got to tell you something.
I really don't want to do this for you.
I really don't ever want to talk to you again.
I can't believe you robbed Joanne's house.
She goes, this is the end of the last conversation
will ever have. And that really destroyed me.
Because we weren't romantically
involved then, but I considered her a friend.
In a way, not really.
You know, I knew what it was.
know what time it was.
So eventually within time, they both stopped talking to me.
And that really bothered me.
And today, I could look you in the eye.
I mean, we discussed a lot of things on this podcast.
I didn't remember that fucking house.
It wasn't even in my realm at that time.
I was trying to get out.
I was trying to really, like, that's it.
I had gotten away with murder.
Yeah.
So why would I want to fucking go back, you know?
So when Roseanne hit me up a few weeks ago, she told me,
she goes, I want to come to your show.
My husband, I go, no problem.
I go, but listen, I'm dirty.
You know, I just guys want you to know.
I know the style of comedy you like,
because you always post what comedians he goes to see.
Okay.
So when I was down this weekend, I didn't even think about it.
But when I hit her back with the message,
she hit me back that she was going to invite those two girls.
Okay.
Those two girls all live in the same neighborhood with other people from my hometown.
Wow.
So I told her, and I never heard back from her.
You know, she probably went to those two girls and said,
he's coming, and they go, are you fucking kidding me?
don't you remember what he did
Did it bother me, bro?
A little bit.
It bothered me.
If you know anything about me,
it really didn't bother me.
But it just struck me while
that I had the relationship I had with this girl.
Even if she went to them and they told her that,
I thought that this girl would at least go.
You know what?
You guys don't want to go?
Let me go.
Me and him had a friendship at one time.
But I guess, like I said,
the other girl that had the lock that died in the car accident.
I remember we all went to the wake and I was very tight.
So it just goes to show you.
So it never came out, that it was the mom doing, like it never came out.
I never really wanted to attack it.
At that point, you know, I was living, this happened January of 85.
I left New Jersey in June of 85.
But that time she had gotten a check.
Then I bumped into her one day in 93.
I went home.
I bumped into that political function, but the people I were with throwing heat,
she couldn't say nothing to me.
They looked at me.
They gave me dirty looks, but I gave me dairy looks back.
At that time, I didn't give a fuck.
But I would have gone up to it, looked her in the face and said, I know what you did.
It wasn't me.
I know what you didn't.
I'm not mad at you.
You know, if I would have robbed the fucking house, I would have got arrested for it.
Yeah.
If it would have really been me, if they would have had witnesses and proof and I would have sold the jewelry,
where'd the jewelry go?
You know what I'm saying?
At those days, you could track jewelry still.
You could track it.
Where did the jewelry go?
As soon as they put an alert out, the feds or the cops send fucking paperwork to all those,
they faxed paperwork, to all those jewelry stores,
and if they're looking for 50,000 worth of jewelry,
like they said they robbed.
She said she had like 50,000 worth the jewelry,
which she really had.
She probably didn't have.
But that pain that that brought me, fueled me.
It fueled me.
And remember when we shot the documentary, we shot it.
I had that piece in there.
I never aired it because I didn't want to make the documentary negative.
I didn't want to show you.
At first when I had the plans to shoot the documentary,
our plans to take it to the places I robbed and stuff,
I didn't want to show you the bad things.
I wanted to show you the good things.
And that's why I did that.
I had that piece in there.
Remember, you shot me.
You shot it right in front of the house.
This is the house I got accused of robbing.
Blah, blah, blah.
And today I really don't give a fuck about them.
I feel bad that we don't talk.
I feel bad that they fed me at one time
and I don't have a relationship with them.
I'm sure they see the articles.
They put in my hometown paper about me
and I don't know how they feel or whatever,
but I really don't give a fuck.
That made me, that gave me the few.
That accused, to be honest with you, you know, it's like having a jar of mayonnaise and you're trying to open it.
And you can't open it and you're working it for an hour.
And then your grandmother comes in who's got arthritis in her fingers.
And she goes, and she cracks the fucking can.
Yeah.
That situation was the catalyst.
It was responsible for setting me out in the world.
Yeah.
Because that's what made me want to prove that I wasn't that person.
So I keep that theft close to my heart, that accusation, because.
because it fueled my rage.
Oh, yeah, man, I can see you.
It fueled my fire.
It really fueled who the fuck I was because I didn't care about it.
I robbed a lot of shit.
I'm not here to tell you I did not rob shit.
I was a petty fucking piece of shit thief.
But that I didn't rob.
I had a little bit more class than to rob somebody who had helped me at that time.
You know, they weren't involved with drugs.
They weren't heavies.
They didn't do nothing like that.
So they were out of my reign.
Yeah.
You know, all those people that helped me were always safe.
You know, that's why the people, you know,
loops and Ascalises and the Villanos,
those people were my brothers.
They stuck with me through thick and thin.
In those days, I'm the same animal today.
If you don't stick with me through thick and thin,
I don't want you around, you know.
It was interesting because I worked with two comedians
in Fort Laudale this week.
One of the guys I knew from L.A.,
and, you know, when I used to do the podcast with Felicia,
she used to have this fucking friend
this uh this jeff uh i don't know what his fucking name was uh he he books montreal or some shit now
you know he books montreal jeff i don't know what's fucking name is and it's funny because this kid
said to me he goes you know joey man i'm watching you on stage and everything's working out and
he goes years ago fuck you had a lot of people that would really down on you and he goes this guy
especially and I remember
Felicia he was at Felicia's one guy
and I shook his hand but I knew
first of all the guy is a gay guy that
he needs a push
I know those guys that are the fucking flaming inside
but they just need a push like so they need a guy
to grab him by the neck and go
so now you're going to suck my cock
and I'm gonna set you
I'm gonna crum what's that word when you
break a woman out when you
what's a pimp say I busted her out
and shit like I turned her out
oh yeah that's what he needs a guy to turn him out
okay
And it's funny.
He booked, I forget, Jeff, whatever.
I think Stanhope had a problem with him too
because the guy used to charge classes to teach stand up
and Stanhope went after him.
And it's funny that this kid came up to me.
He goes, you know who really,
every time I'd see him, he'd say, stay away from Diaz.
He's in trouble.
He's no good, you know?
And the type of shit like that bothers me a little bit.
Yeah.
Because these are the people that talk to the mainstream people.
And I know that half of these fucking morons are a bunch of,
you know, they don't like dealing with me
half of them because I tell him the truth.
I tell them how I feel
And that's not what they want to hear
Oh my God, it's such a pleasure to be
No, it's not a pleasure
Because I know you don't give a fuck about me
You have to do this because you have to do this shit
But it's so funny how these people
It's tough to live your life
You know, and you make your own bed, man
I made my own fucking bed
I'm not here tapping out or crying
Or, you know, I got a bunch of fucking things
This week from people
You know, things ain't going my way
Then you gotta work a little fucking harder
By guy, you got to go it up
Go that motherfucker up on a Monday
Go it up
and go for it you know but i've done a lot of things one of my goal was one of my goals was always to
listen you're not going to overcome you're not going to change people's minds
you're never going to once a person has a perception of you or whatever you're not going to change
their mind the only thing you could do is keep pushing forward and eventually even if they don't like you
they had a look at you and go that motherfucker's a savage you know maybe i don't like this but his character is
spot on and that's all I always
wanted to be. I always knew to
redeem myself from what I had done all those
years my character was in. I always
had character. I always had fucking
character. If not I would have robbed them.
I always had character. Not I would have robbed them
right there at fucking gunpoint.
But that's what I always strive
for to build my character so that somebody
could say, and I don't have these people don't like me,
these comic people and you know what?
Everything don't give a fuck.
That's the reason why I'm here.
When I walk in the room, I walk in the room,
cock in my fucking hand i don't give a fuck i'm not scared of these motherfuckers and i that's why you know
this podcast is ha ha he sometimes but on fucking monday mornings i come in here fueled up and it's just to let
you know that you know what man who gives a fuck somebody this morning hit me up and i want to go to my
job or i don't like it should i quit and i go you can't quit your fucking job but you know what
go in and give it a shot if somebody don't like you having a problem with your boss go and then let
know you're fucking better than they are that's the only way they're gonna give you the
fucking props and even if they don't like i don't give a fuck i don't want to go to your
house to watch TV.
I don't want to go eat with you to hang out with you.
Fuck you.
But you will fucking respect me.
You will fucking respect what I do.
And you will respect how I fucking compose myself and how I handle myself.
And that's all you want from people.
I don't give a fuck.
I don't want no thank yous or no hugs, nothing.
I just want people to know this guy's a hard worker.
He works hard.
He does what he says he's going to do.
And he fucking comes through.
And that's the most important thing, man.
Well, did you hear what happened?
It's interesting you brought this up.
Did you hear what happened in football this weekend?
No.
So the Philadelphia Eagles released a...
a wide receiver named Deshawn Jackson.
So, and they released him, right, like,
the day an article came out saying that he hangs out with gang members.
He grew up in Compton.
And what he's saying is what all the police have come out and said is,
when you live in a place like that,
you're going to grow up and you're going to know people who end up like that.
So they released him.
He didn't do anything.
It's not like Aaron Hernandez who killed somebody.
They released him, and they said he had some issues,
he didn't get along with the coaches or whatever.
But they released him before he did anything.
And he went out saying, like, I'm not a bad person.
And it's a, like, it's kind of like what you went through a little bit.
Like, how, what, what would that feel like if, if, like, a comedy club or your agent now is, like, he hangs out with bad people or he did this in his past?
And then it kind of affects you.
It's kind of like what happened to that UFC fighter a little bit, but he did something.
So Deshaun says something.
It hurts.
It hurts.
I'm not going to lie to.
It hurts.
for a minute.
It hurts for a level.
It hurts for as long as you let it hurt.
Okay, people always remember that.
This shit's going to hurt for as long as you had let it hurt you.
A situation affects you.
It's going to affect you for as long as you let it affect you.
Listen to my fucking words because I live with this every fucking year.
Every fucking day.
When I was Spanish and I first moved to North Bergen,
in every level.
you know, my insecurities weren't
fucking a man-made.
I'm not a guy who's going to tell you that I hadn't had
opportunities because I'm Spanish. That's
bullshit. I've never even looked at that. I've never
even categorized myself as
that. I categorized myself as a
fucking man. I know I got to go out there and get something
every day. But when you hear something
negative about yourself or something
that somebody's taken out of perspective or something
that somebody has made a bad call
on you, it hurts
if you let it hurt for a minute.
Then you sit there, you reflect,
You grab your cock and you go, you know what?
Fuck this bitch.
This is the gasoline that goes in my fucking tank.
Yeah.
Okay, that's how I look at it.
When somebody says something, like I told you one day,
nine of the ten, most people go up to people go,
hey, I heard you said that.
I don't say nothing.
Because if somebody's going to say something like that about you,
knowing the efforts that you do,
they're saying it from an insecure place,
or they're jealous, or they don't understand.
I don't even like that word jealous,
but they don't like it or whatever.
You don't want?
If they're that weak, they know you're going to fuck their mind.
that you know I mean in my world when I get that shit it hurts for 10 seconds and if I didn't tell you
I'm lying to you it hurts it hurts for a minute it might hurt for a day it might hurt
but then something takes over you and goes you know what I'll take that person and you
wipe my fucking ass with them it's shit in my ass you know when you take that first
shit how you take that toilet paper and wipe your fucking ass that's what I'll do with that
fucking head as their tongue is scraping my asshole and they taste the shit
from my fucking ass that's how you have to think
about those fucking people and you don't say nothing to them you don't know
even give them the time of day you let them living their life you let them live
their life like if they know what the fuck they're talking about and meanwhile
you're digging you're digging you're moving fucking street because listen bro
it's like the fucking man setting off in an apocalypse now I'm in this fucking
hotel hanging here and Charlie's in a bush getting fucking stronger I've
always been Charlie in the bush getting fucking stronger so you could sit
there with your little fucking Gentile buddies ha ha ha and
and S. An Night Live and hanging out the improv and try to be cool and put whoever the fuck you want down.
But meanwhile, motherfucker, Uncle Joey, aka Charlie, that bitch is in the bush, motherfucker,
with a gun and a fucking scope and a bag full of fucking bullets.
I want to be around this Monday.
March fucking 30th, the day the devil was buried in sea.
Anybody say something about you you, don't feel good?
Fuck them.
It only hurts for a fucking minute.
And then you tell him, suck my dick, bitch.
Out of respect, Tony Ben on a fucking Monday, cocksuckers.
I want to be around
To pick up those motherfucking pieces
Who gives a fuck?
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart
As I
A somebody who
to be true
as you used to do with me
who'll leave you to learn
That misery
loves company
So it's crazy
I didn't even feel the earthquakes this weekend
I don't know what it was but fucking
You were fucking
No I wasn't
You were eating that ass like a fucking Mexican soldier
Beforehand yeah but
Fuck I didn't bring in the corner
I'll bring in the corn to it tomorrow
Well, make you think of the corn, that we'd open up my son.
No, because he said Mexican.
We were before, but no, not during.
We didn't feel either one.
And I called Terry because I knew you were in Florida.
I was like, fuck.
Yeah, people called me right away and said,
call home that there was an earthquake,
so that's a type of people I'm fucking involved with.
You want me to tell you why I feel good today?
Why?
Because I took that on at 180.
Okay, that one happens?
I took that shit before and after the fucking plane, man.
They sent me a big box of it, and I'll tell you what,
I'm tired.
I'm a little tired today.
I'm not to take it easy.
I don't have a big day.
So I don't know how to go to 11 to 12.
I thought I had to go to the library with my daughter.
They do like a read story time.
I was going on there and see what's going on.
Torture some motherfuckers.
Read some books and shit.
They had that elementary school.
Like you could come in and the parents would read a book.
And my dad did it once and he took it really serious because he was on the radio.
So he listened out with his big radio voice.
I can definitely see going to kindergarten reading some stories to some kids.
It's a mommy and a mom.
me group on Mondays and Wednesdays, but it's not
for the next two weeks, so it's on Wednesdays.
Oh, okay.
That's why I was going to do the podcast Monday, Wednesday, 11,
but I got to go to storybook fucking reading time.
So that's what it is.
What the fuck it is?
But that's why I felt good.
I could tell that I never used to take,
I never take Alpha Brain before I go on a plane ride,
but the 180, I take a little thing right there, right on the plane.
As soon as I got in, the guy goes, you want water?
Boom, I open up the package, dimple in there.
drink it and then when the plane lands
I'd do another one and I'm fucking good like I never
really have jet lag yesterday I slept for two hours
but it wasn't it was because I was tired
you know I went to a fucking two and got up at five
and you went through a period a few months ago
where you're getting a lot of ear things and you're getting sick for a while
so you might like you've been taking that
for like on the plane yeah
because you've been like what six seven weeks in a row
now or close to it oh no I don't fuck around but it was
very weird I'm taking a lot better
I know how to do the road down a lot better
so there's little precautions
you take the immune this
Yeah, I take the immunes.
I take the shroom tech, the other one, not the sport, but I take the other one.
The immune.
So, you know, you got on a plane, six, seven hours, you got to have, you got to protect yourself.
I heard they make this, I was talking to a buddy in mine from Australia last night.
He says they make this thing that you buy at the airport and you drink it every hour or something like that for your body.
It puts a lot of vitamins in your body.
You know, when you fly, there's radiation on planes.
There's so many fucking things on planes.
And I fly twice a week, so you have to take a little fucking carry yourself, people.
And that's the word of the day.
Take care of yourself.
It only hurts as long as you let it fucking hurt.
Yeah.
It's crazy because, like, and I would love the Patriots to grab them,
but they won't do it because of Aaron Hernandez.
And at first when they brought it up, I'm like, yeah, I guess you can see, like, after
what happened, you would let him go just so he, if anything happened.
But, like, the article, it's kind of, where, it's kind of why newspapers are going down.
The article didn't have any proof.
It just said he hangs out with people who are already.
in that but that shouldn't be illegal that shouldn't be a reason for you to lose your job and
it's uh mark cuban the owner of the mavericks he came out a week or two ago and he said that uh
in like 10 years the NFL is gonna go downhill because they they're they're doing a whole other
night of football now it's like Wednesday nights two and and then more more games on thursdays and
you know it might be it might be fucking true he said that like when people get too greedy people like
things bad things happen so it's kind of interesting so they're going to
start Wednesday night football?
I don't know about Wednesday.
They definitely added more Thursday night
games and like now CBS
is careful of them and pretty soon it's
going to be every night of the week.
I think it's on Wednesday night of games.
Now this kid that got Deshawn Jackson,
was he a rookie last year?
No, he was like four years in.
He had his best year last year.
Okay, so after his best year,
so they cut him
or they released him because
he doesn't get along with the coaches.
Maybe he has a chip on his shoulder.
Yeah.
But because he has gang acquaintances.
Well, he's from South West.
Yeah, he's from Compton.
It's not that he's in a gang.
It's that his friends, who we grew up with,
and I wouldn't have even realized it,
but when I go down and drop hall off,
in those neighborhoods, there's
fucking gangs. And it's just
some of the people who live there
are very nice, old people, and some of the people
are gangs, and it's just when you grew up in those
areas, you're going to have friends you go to school with
that are in the gangs. That's what they said,
and it's...
Listen, when I went back to fuck in the stress
factory, I realized
I had some friends that were heavy duty myself.
Yeah.
That over the years, they, you know,
just week in Florida.
Some guy came up to me and he goes,
I'm your friend's partner in the book business.
Jesus.
You know, a kid I grew up with.
And I knew he had a partner.
The guy goes, my name is this,
and I'm his partner.
I've been with him for 20 years now,
and he couldn't come,
but he sends his love.
I'm down here.
So, you know, when I went to the stress factory,
I saw a couple motherfuckers I had been in high school with that now,
you know,
things but now and a couple
them told me man they were like bro we got your
back you need anything you know you want to perform
here you want to do this we could take care of you so
I took their cards and their phone numbers
and uh...
this is who I grew up with this is who the fuck I am
you're not going to abandon them now no I don't give
a fuck I'm gonna fucking abandon them
they never abandoned me yeah one guy I saw
that I did a thousand things with
and I always knew who he was that's why I did the things
with him because I knew I would never get in
fucking trouble so we got a call coming
all right
it's my life
little brother John Evan.
How's it going?
Good, man. I'm happy you woke up to do this
for us again. John Evan on the line

one of my fucking coaches who I love dealing with
Jiu-Jitsu fucking Savage.

taught me some stuff and i didn't uh know a lot of the high level stuff i was seeing watching
but uh that's why i have you on to you to break it down and we'll break down eddies because
that was the main one people are still talking about you guys and i'm still
talking about today.
A couple weeks ago, you and I were doing something,
you were teaching me a few moves.
And you mentioned to me something that Kenny Thorium mentioned the other day.
He goes, you know, Eddie's known for his rubber guard and this and this,
but his real world is his grappling in his side control.
Yeah, and his half guard too.
Right, the half guard.
I'm sorry, not side control, his half guard.
And we saw it the other night.
Break it down for me, John Evans.
Yeah, I mean,
If any of you haven't seen that Mita Morse event, I highly recommend you watch it.
I mean, it's just not often you get to see high-level grappling put into such a nice production.
Like, you know, you can go to the world, and if you're there in person, it's really something to see.
A lot of the people come up from Brazil, some of them chant at each other, and it's crazy.
But if you're there live, you're not going to see it with any kind of commentary.
if you watch the live stream, you can see some commentary.
And that helps a lot.
It helps give context.
But unless you do the sport, the commentary has to be really good to give it context.
Because otherwise, I think that's the problem with Jiu-Jitsu, with sport Jiu-Jitsu.
It's really hard to convey what's going on in the match unless you've seen it before.
Because there's no way that you can tell.
for instance, pressure.
Like, there's no way the camera can show that.
So, you know, maybe you've got two humongous guys, like, say, like, I don't know,
somebody as big as Verduem who's going to be fighting for the, in the UFC,
hopefully for the UFC heavyweight title pretty soon.
He trains at my gym sometimes under my coach Cabrini, and he's a humongous person,
just very big.
And once you're that big, if you put a shoulder,
on someone's face and have a really strong cross face on them,
that can be so much pressure.
It feels like your head's going to pop off,
but on camera, there's no way to tell that.
So you really need good commentary to give it context.
And the last couple of Metamoruses, I didn't think, really had that so great.
But this time they had Kimmelian, who competes for UFC,
so he's an old hat at it.
And then he also had Jeff Glover, who is one of the best American graphics.
Applers and just an all-round good guy too.
So the two of them really, I think, helped
brought that across to the audience.
So you didn't have to be such a Jiu-Jitsu nerd.
You can be kind of more of a casual viewer
and still see what was going on.
But the match was fantastic.
I mean, this one is, it's a rematch.
They fought once before, I think, in like 2003.
Was it 2003?
I think so, ADCC's, right?
Yep, it was an ADCC, so it was Nogi, and that was the big deal about this fight.
Hoyler was, if you don't know who he was, he is one of the Gracies.
He was named, I think, by Gracie Mag, which is a huge jiu-jitsu publication.
It's been around for a long time.
He was named as the best grappler of the 90s, I think, by his personal.
peers and just buy the magazine maybe.
They took a boat and he was the one.
Best grappler of the 90s.
So a big deal.
And he's a smaller guy too, you know,
one of the much smaller weight classes.
But known also for his passing,
which typically you don't see that at the smaller weight classes.
A lot of people play guard more,
so they're on the bottom more.
But he has very good,
also a very good guard,
but very good passing too, especially for the weight class.
Really technical.
good athlete on top of it, and he went into ADCC where he was fighting Nogi, and Eddie Bravo caught him in a
triangle and beat him. And a lot of people said, oh, it was a fluke, you know, like it's not going to
happen again. I don't think either of them competed after that. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty
sure that neither of them ever competed again after that. So a lot of things left to speculation,
and people saying that Eddie was making his career out of this one fight.
He just got lucky and all of this.
And, you know, it was really, it was an interesting match to make.
And everybody wanted to see them rematch, but they never did.
And now years and years and years later, they finally did.
And it was a fantastic match.
Really, really good.
Unfortunately, spoiler alert, if you haven't seen it yet, it went the distance.
so because it's supposed to be submission only, but there was a 20-minute time limit.
So, you know, still you can argue it either way, but I mean, I think most people that were there, even to the casual fan,
they could see that, I mean, one way, if you're not sure who's winning in a grappling match,
you can look at who's defending more and who's attacking more.
And Hoyler was on top for a lot of the fight.
I think for the whole first five minutes, he was on top and good.
passing position, trying to get a knee through the pass, a knee through the middle pass to work,
but not able to get it to work.
And then Eddie was able to utilize his lockdown.
And for me, that was the, that was kind of like the most surprising and in a way the saddest part of it, too,
because the lockdown is not just Eddie's moves.
The Eddie kind of popularized it, but it's a common jiu-jitsu move, and Hoyler seemed to have
no answer for it. He didn't know how to get out of it. He wasn't doing the right stuff. He was
straightening his leg most of the time, which is the opposite of what you want to do. And he looked
a little lost. And because of that, he got swept a few times. He swept back and he stayed on top.
But in the end, he got put into a couple of different compromising positions where he was nearly
in a cast crusher and then also nearly in a neck crank. And he was in danger of being put into a
Twister, which is also in that crank.
And, you know, if
you have to look at it that way, he was
defending. He was never putting
Eddie in danger of being submitted.
So I would definitely have to
give this fight to Eddie. And I'm not biased
either way. I really have no
affiliation with either of those two camps.
So it
was just a good fight. And I would
have loved to see it with no time limit
for sure.
Just go till somebody
passes out?
I think so
You know even though you could argue that that favors Hoyler
Because he seemed to be the better athlete out of the two
Even though Eddie was still pushing pretty strong towards the end
That's the only real way to leave it
To get a definitive answer
It's submission only
The only problem with submission only
Is that when you do it with no time limits
Most matches sure
they're going to end in five minutes, they're going to end in 10, maybe 20, sometimes 30,
but every once in a while you'll get that match that goes like an hour and a half long,
and it's just unwatchable for the casual spectator.
And even for the hardcore spectator, especially if it's more of a stalling game,
if it's like an hour and a half, it's hard to make time in your day for that,
and especially if there's like five more matches.
And how do you schedule that, too, if you're an event organizer?
or so. That's kind of the conundrum with sport
jiu-jitsu right now. These
rules are, in my opinion, much better
than rules for, say, like the
IBJF with the worlds, where they give you
points for sweeping, takedowns,
you know, passing the heart, all of that.
It doesn't matter. There's no point.
No points.
Just you submit or you don't.
So that way it becomes much more pure
jiu-jitsu, I believe.
But also, then you run into that
No time limit issue.
So it can be hard to run a tournament that way.
I really saw one of the thing that night that I think a lot of people saw unless you're crazy.
There's something there.
I could watch one of these once a month.
I would pay to see these live.
I would go down.
I would have paid the $100 to go down there that night.
I think they're very interesting, John Evan.
I think they're a little more like the way they did this show,
compared to like a tournament that I've been to
like the time I only been to one with you at GMAC that day
VMAG, GMA, but I liked how they did it
I could see this on pay-per-view once a month
I think that there's a market you know what
you so what you got kicked out of the UFC
you're a fucking black belt and jiu-jitsu why just
open up a school you know you could jitzu wise
till you're fucking 60 you know that right
John Evan especially if you've been doing it for 20 years at 40 years
absolutely that's the beauty of jiu-jitsu and uh you know that's i mean you could see that here
and people wanted to see people paid money and it was the main event to see these two guys that
were nearly 40 right uh i think coilers are 48 and eddie's 43 that's that's that's we yeah exactly
that's fucking we are eddie's nearly nearly 50 right uh yeah 48 years old and you know they're not
not like these are not athletes in their prime and watching these two guys and first of all too
what amazing athletes for being well into their 40s especially for hoiler and being able to go 20
minutes being in a match which are being videotaped and both of the you can't imagine the pressure
on these guys like if you've never competed before and you know it's a completely different thing
But also, when you get to that level, Eddie Bravo owns that the 10th planet system.
Like, if you see a 10th planet out there, it's associated with Eddie Bravo.
A lot of pro fighters in the USG come to him.
You know, Hoyler Gracie being named, he's a Gracie for one.
So it's a lot of pressure right there.
Like, you can't be a Gracie and be bad at Jiu-Jitsu.
It's just not accepted.
And also being named the best fighter of the 90s.
He's a legend.
The son of Helio Gracie.
It goes on and on.
So much pressure.
And you have all these students and everyone looks up to you.
And you get out there and you haven't competed in 10 years.
And, you know, you have an adrenaline dump.
And you still not being athletes in the prime, they went out there and they put it on the line.
And they just really went for it over 20 minutes and had an amazing chili.
I thought it was awesome.
And that's so hard to deal with for, you know, the average 20-year-old would have a really,
hard time with that, but they pushed the pace all the time.
It was an exciting fight, which is more than even safe for a lot of fights.
And, man, I don't know.
I thought it was great.
Like I said, you know, you've been teaching me for the last nine months,
and I watched some stuff that night that was just amazing.
I had never even seen before.
I don't know what they were doing.
You know, one thing I learned from you was patience, John Evan.
A couple weeks ago, we were messing around, and I said to you,
you're going to teach me a north-south choke
and I'm fucking 300 pounds
and you're barely 160
and I laid on top you and I can hear your fucking
ribs crushing but you're like
no no you're okay and I'm like
what I love this guy
and you fucking
you know you had patience
you're like okay he's 300 pounds
there's nothing I can do about that
all I could do is keep my composure breathe
and I'm gonna get out of this
and you fucking did this little
shrimping shit
and the next thing you know you were out of it
Do you know how long it took Eddie to get that lockdown last night?
It was a while before he could get in.
It took him five fucking minutes to get the lockdown last night.
So he first got the one hook, he said, the black mom.
And then he went for the lockdown.
And he goes, it took him five minutes to get it.
That's patience.
And then he spoke about the electric chair, how he works on that a lot.
But he goes, you know what?
He was surprised that Hoyler wasn't.
prepared for the electric chair
whatever they call that shit
but he said even then like he goes
he goes it's a move
that you have to you know it steps
he goes it steps and there's one point where
jack what was the name not Kenny Florian
but the other guy was Jeff Glover
Jeff Glover said that
Eddie wasn't known for his cardio
but he was very technical where
Hoyler was more of an athlete
yes that's true
Yeah, that fight, it was crazy.
Hoyler was in a very good knee-through-the-midthru-the-middle passing position,
and the part for me that was a little bit sad was either
Hoyler has not updated his game enough since maybe he was last competing,
which has been a while, or he just didn't give Eddie the respect that he deserved,
and didn't study up on him because that lockdown is pretty common.
And anyone that knows Eddie and knows anything about his game,
like it's pretty common knowledge that he uses the lockdown a lot,
and especially from Halfguard.
Also, I mean, Heady just jumped right into Halfguard from the get-go.
But Hoyler, I would have loved to have seen him trying to avoid that a little bit.
I mean, there's a couple things you don't do in life.
You don't tug on Superman's keep, you don't spit in the win, you don't fight in Eddie Bravo's half guard.
You just don't do it.
It's not a good idea.
And he just allowed him to go right there, and I think maybe he wanted to beat him at his game, but why?
I mean, clearly it did not work out, and especially if you're going to fight there, why allow him to get the lockdown,
and why not know how to get out of it?
He wasn't doing any of the right stuff.
He allowed his knee to get really torqued out, and from there, Eddie Brabara,
was able to get underneath him.
Like you said, he did the electric chair.
I think he did it twice.
Nearly put him in a weird neck cranking position
by grabbing the forearm at one point.
And all of the control was based off of that lockdown.
And because Coiler, he wasn't, you know,
typically you, to nerd out a little bit,
typically the lake that's caught in the lockdown,
you want to bend it with your heel to your butt.
You kind of want to turn away from them.
And then bring it to your butt.
and then you can turn back into them and extend the leg and you legwork around their legs.
Or if that doesn't work, you can incorporate your free leg and use that and go kind of down,
weave it in between their ankles, and you can straighten everything out and release the lockdown.
He wasn't doing any of that, and it was very surprising.
And that allowed Eddie to get all of his sweeps and all of his setups for submissions.
And then at the end, he got in this horrible calf-crusher position.
if people aren't really familiar with that,
it gets used very legitimately at a very high-level sport
jiu-jitsu, especially Nogi,
where, like, say, I think Vitor Olivares recently,
who, if you don't know who he is, is a GFT fighter,
one of the biggest jiu-jitsu camps,
and this guy's a beast.
He's been tearing through the American circuit lately,
even though he's a Brazilian guy.
He went to the Nogi Worlds last year
and submitted a black belt in tournament with that same submission.
Or you're in that calf crusher, just pulled the leg down,
and it's the only thing with the calf crusher is that some people just do not tap to it.
Leg locks are a little bit tricky like that,
but when it's that, it's just put on that hard the way Eddie had it,
and especially with Hoyler's knee being twisted to the side like that.
It looked horrible.
It looked horrible.
Yeah, I mean, it was super deep.
He must have rubber joints or something.
Well, he said he heard the knee pop at least six times.
And he kept twisting and he kept saying, you know, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, but you heard what the man said.
He goes, he's not going to tap.
The only way to tap Hoyler is to choke him.
The guy said that during the commentary.
He probably wouldn't tap to that either, but at least he's out, right?
I was really surprised because, I mean, even the way that he was fighting the electric chair sweep,
when you do the sweep with that lockdown and you torque their knee to the outside,
I personally have torn someone's meniscus with that,
because if they're stubborn and they try to fight back by straightening the knee
and not trying to concede the sweep, it can go right on the knee.
And I've torn someone's meniscus, and I've seen other people's meniscus
is torn from the same exact position.
So he wasn't fighting, you know, he wasn't fighting properly either.
He was being stubborn with it.
The knee was getting torquered really bad.
And he was in a horrible position for that calf crusher at the end, like I said.
I was shocked to see him stand up at the end and seemingly walk around okay.
Like I thought for sure that it had just blown everything out of that knee.
But I don't know.
I guess we'll have to hear reports from his camp afterwards.
But, I mean, he seems.
Okay.
You know, it's funny.
I did the podcast, I ate last night.
He goes to, you know, for sure, he's definitely got ice on it today, you know.
But there's another school of thought to that.
John Evan, you're a great jiu-jitsu guy.
I mean, anybody I talk to at V-Mac, they all go, fuck, John Evan, you know, you're very technical and stuff.
But John Evan, you've just been doing jih Tijuana for seven years.
Can you imagine what you're going to be like at the 20-year mark?
What also comes with that 20-year mark is flexibility.
You know, you could take your elbow to places
I can't take mine and Lee can't take his
You know, you've been doing the game for a long time
You know your limitations
You know, I mean, it's like the other than that
I did something on stage, I had to stop to
And when I got off both comics were like, bro, you heckled
You handled that lady fucking perfectly
It wasn't because I'm better than you are
It's because I've been doing it for fucking 20 years
I'm not better than you
I've just been doing it for 20 years
that's how I looked at that that night
that's just one of the things that
it means to do Jiu-Jitsu
if you watch one of the
countdowns to Meta-Morris is
he stretches he's a big stretcher
you know we all stretch
our hamstrings and you know twist
around but when do we really get deep
into our ankle and switch it around
and when do we really do those deep
stretches which is what is needed for
Jiu-Tit-to if you really think about it you know
sure no
definitely and he said it he goes you know
it's 2014.
It's not just going to the jiu-jitsu thing anymore and doing hip escapes and rolling.
There's so much more if you want to get that much better.
So, you know, the conditioning is great for, you know, all that stuff.
I mean, like I said, you could pop my fucking finger.
But I know there's jiu-jitsu guys that, you know, they fucking, they're greater.
You can pull that finger back for hours and nothing happens.
No, it's true.
There's definitely a level of conditioning for,
flexibility and joints and just
Dean Lister who actually competed in this too
also talks about it that you've got
like a, it's nearly like a conditioning
for submissions. You start to build a tolerance after a while
where, you know, not for chokes
because for chokes, if you get
choked unconscious more than, you know, a handful of times
then it starts to, your body actually, just like in boxing,
when boxer starts to get knocked out
more than a couple of times, then they're,
chin nose somehow that, oh, okay, well, I can stop all this trauma and by just putting this
person to sleep, then you do that. And then the guy starts passing out really easy. Same thing with
chokes. You know, if you get choked out more than a handful of times, then you barely put pressure
on the neck and the guy will pass out. But other than that, as far as like joints go, you can
start to condition, especially for foot locks, for straight ankle locks. You'll see a lot of the top guys
that have been put in a lot of horrible straight ankle locks that would separate the ankle from the leg,
or, you know, just tear some of the ligaments down in the foot, and their feet are kind of like flopping all over the place,
and there's no expression on their face.
They're fine there, and the guy could be in a really terrible, deep belly down footlock,
and the guy's fine, because their legs have just been so battered over the years that the feet are, they're just loose, and they don't care.
There's definitely a level of conditioning that comes with just training for a long, one time.
It's a...
I'm really happy.
That may have played the factor, so...
No, that definitely was.
You know, John, I'm really happy for Eddie, and I could tell him the way that...
By the way, you said that Eddie did great, you know, that you're happy in a way also, too.
I mean, we're both fans of J-Jit-too, but I'm really...
Eddie's one of those guys that works hard.
I mean, do not get me wrong.
He's fucking crazy as cat shit.
He's crazy as cat shit, you know, but that's what makes Eddie Eddie, and that's what makes his
Jiu-Jitsu.
I mean, who, what makes you wake up one morning and go, you know what?
I think this is, I think I got a way to do this.
I think I got a better way than the Gracies.
And he's not saying that.
He's never said that.
Eddie has never, ever said that.
He's just said, I have maybe a different way to look at this.
That's what I mean to say.
I got a different way to look at this.
And if you do this, you know, what he was saying was that, you know, if you're going to be
fighting in an MMA, there's no Ghee.
So why train with the Ghee learn all these different things?
And I'll tell you, I'm in the same position in my career.
He's a come from behind type of guy.
And he took a lot of chances, and he's got a lot of shit talked about him.
I mean, people come up to me and say shit sometimes when I'm doing comedy.
After a comedy show, people come home and go, how can you hang out?
You know, let me tell you something, man.
That guy's done more for me as far as his values and his way of things.
than a lot of other people have done, you know.
And I was just very proud of that.
When I watched it, the thing, the third time, his fight, I watched it three times.
I watched at the comedy show, I watched it on the plane, and I watched it yesterday.
The third time, I was overcome with tears because I know what it's like to have people say shit.
And he's always been, you know, proven somebody wrong.
And I give him props for that, man, that he just wanted to change.
He just had a belief.
and I'm sure you have beliefs about
you jit jujit juan Evan.
You're very good at what you do,
and I'm sure that you have
you've even taught it.
You've even said to me,
listen, this is how they teach it in most schools.
This is how I teach it.
You know, with the one leg,
the takedowns you've been teaching
that you review on Tuesdays.
You know, if you look at the UFC
and you look how they do takedowns,
you're picking up your head,
you're using your back,
you're doing a deadlift,
and then you teach it this way
that it's just push him this way
and let his body do the work.
You follow you?
I mean,
there's a million different ways to skin a cat
and,
you know,
like you said,
motives too.
Like,
you know,
Eddie might be crazy,
you know,
quote unquote.
But,
I mean,
honestly,
though,
like,
who's to say Eddie's any crazier than
Hoyler who lives,
the eight,
slept and breathed jujitsu
for every year of his life?
You know,
like,
that's not a normal light either.
So it's just, everyone's different.
And Eddie, it was great to see him do really well.
And I think a lot of people discounted him
because he has grown a ton of him and Hoyler last five.
You know, like, I think people forget that he was,
I think he was either a brown belt or a new black belt when they thought.
He was a brown belt.
And, yeah, and so much time's past, he's opened up.
He got the whole Prince Planet thing going,
and he's got multiple schools and trains with a bunch of top people,
and his game's completely different.
I mean, even though he was using a lot of his half-guard stuff in this that he's known for,
you know, he's progressed so much.
And I think it was people that were a little bit, you know,
I mean, on paper, Hoyler is the better athlete and the better competitor,
because you've done more,
you've named the best fighter of the 90s, et cetera.
But, you know, people in the know,
I think knew that it was a much bigger question mark
about this match because, you know,
who's training more and who's grown more?
And I think Eddie has definitely grown more
because there was more to improve upon with Eddie's game
from when they last fought.
And, you know, just what kind of shape they're in
and how they've updated the game.
So I definitely was not expecting a blowout in this match at all.
And I think a lot of people that were higher-level grapplers
or at least closer to the situation knew that it could be a much closer match
than what people were giving any credit for.
So it was great to see him come out and really do very well against such a top competitor.
I was very happy.
Hey, John, this is Lee.
I have no jiu-jitsu background.
and I knew the outcome of the fight before I watched it.
And I thought it was interesting, because Joey brought up, like, he could watch this every month.
And I thought it was interesting that four out of the six fights ended in a draw.
And in most American sports, there's a winner.
So is there a way, like, how can you, how do you explain to someone who doesn't know Jiu-Jitsu
that a draw isn't a bad thing?
Because when I looked at it, I was like, wow, four out of the six fights ended with no one winning.
But then when you see this fight, you're like, oh, okay, I see what happens.
Like is there a way there could be like some sort of overtime where they do points or something like that?
But it was just, it was surprising to me that four out of the six fights in a big professional fight no one won.
Yeah, that's actually a fantastic point that you bring up.
And being someone that puts on their own tournaments myself, like it's a really, honestly is the biggest issue with sport jujitsu right now.
what is the best tournament format?
And I personally, there's pros and cons to the point system,
and there's pros and cons to the submission-only system.
I personally don't believe that the current point system that, say,
the IBJF uses, especially with their rule set, is the best system.
I really like submission only, but then you run into that whole time limit issue.
Metamores tried to change it up because this is now the third,
metamorphous, I believe. The first metamorphous
was
submission only
and then, I think,
they did it just like this one, where it was a draw
after a certain amount of time.
And then the second one,
I don't believe it was no
title of it yet, but the second one,
what they did is they tried to do
more like what you're saying so they can
have less
draws. And what that
resulted in was
a lot more confusion and a
lot worse matches. So even though there was four out of six matches went the distance, which
is not ideal at all, these matches were much more exciting because in the second one, what
they did was they said, okay, 20 minutes, submission only, and then at the end of that match,
we'll have three judges that will just say who's a winner. And absolutely, with those four
of six matches that were on this Metamor's card that did go the distance, there was pretty much a
clear winner and loser in each one of them. But they can't, when they start to incorporate the
judging system, then it becomes just the same as point-based. Because what happened was a lot
of the competitors were fighting and they knew, okay, well, we're 10 minutes in, this guy's too
hard to submit and maybe I could make it work if I just won't balls out but I could also lose
you know like maybe I'd give up a position or get too tired and then if he starts dominating
then the judges will give the fight to him and there's money on the line of course too so people
were just stalling more and trying to get a decision out of it even though there's no points
so it made the fights really a lot less exciting and it was a shame but that's the way
it works. If there's any kind of
a point system, the fighters
will typically stall for those
points, even if there's no points and there's just
judging. So it was really
hard for them to figure
out a way to
make less
draws happen, but
the only thing that they came up with was
20 minutes just
for a spectator,
just for
the reason of the spectators being able to
watch a predetermine. A pre-determine,
and time limit match instead of having to schedule out your whole day for watching Metamores
3 because you don't know how long the matches are going to go and trying to make a decisive
winner and make exciting fights. So even though there was the four fights that went to a draw,
they were much more exciting fights. Okay. And then I thought it was interesting. One of the
fights that somebody won, somebody took the fight on 30 minutes notice. What is that like?
like he was just there probably
like maybe someone's part
of a team or something and like somebody had a staff
infection like how what is it like
like I don't think you've ever seen the UFC fighter take a fight on 30 minutes notice
no you
typically would not see that
that's actually pretty crazy
if you don't know who that was that was actually
someone who did fight in the UFC was on the ultimate fighter
it was Kevin Casey
kind of famous
Hickson Black Belt
but he came in and stepped in for Benny Magal Hayes
who had a horrible staff infection
they posted pictures on the internet
and it looked pretty nasty
so he had to step in on
yeah like he said I think it was 30 minutes notice
which is nuts
the only thing
that's good about Jiu-Jitsu
that's different from MMA
is that if you mess up
you're probably not going to get your face punched in
you're not going to get me kind of
you know you're not going to get a bad concussion
or something like that
Of course, you run the risk of being submitted, and it may be embarrassing or whatever,
but if you tap early, you're probably not going to get hurt.
So that's one good thing about Jiu-Gitsu.
You don't have to be – it's not going to endanger your career for taking a fight on such
short notice like it would maybe an M.A.
Okay.
Yeah.
It was a really weird situation, though.
But, I mean, as long as you're training, even if you're maybe not in perfect tournament,
shape if you're training real hard all the time in the gym and someone says hey do you want to
fight in this match maybe you're not mentally prepared but you know physically you're probably not
too far off so okay yeah and then what are they don't necessarily peak like they do for
m&A as much what are the weight classes because i noticed uh hoiler and daddy had like a 10 pound
weight difference is that something they agree upon or or what is that because in in m m ms it's like
to the to the ounce yeah in it's in an in m m m m ms yeah in
it's really, well, I mean, if you want to look at a more established sport, look at boxing,
where it's basically if you sneeze or blow your nose, then you're in a different weight class.
So there's a lot of little weight classes because there's so many competitors.
And as MNA evolves, there will be more weight classes.
And we've seen it with UFC already.
There was never, I don't even think, I mean, in the beginning there was no weight classes.
Then there was just maybe two, I think, like, maybe up to 190 or something like that, and then 190 and over, something like that.
And then now there's a bunch.
And they've started incorporating even the smaller weight classes, like they have 1.45, which is never one, 135.
And I think they have 1 25 now, if I'm not mistaken.
So as the sport grows, there will be more weight classes, and that changes all the time.
Same thing with sport jujitsu.
There's a bunch of weight classes right now.
There might be more later on.
I know they just added one more to the female division for the IBJGF rules for this year.
So that's always a good thing.
But, yeah, the main thing you don't want is you don't want like a huge weight discrepancy.
So this one was just, it's metamorphous.
They don't have to follow any kind of athletic commission rules or anything, I don't think.
So they just agreed upon.
certain catch weight or they could be different weights and it wasn't too bad.
And part of it, one of the interesting things was some of the matches that they made were
matches that you wouldn't usually see in a tournament setting.
So like Clark Gracie versus Hapa Mendes, Clark Gracie is much bigger than Hafa.
And Hafa is super dominant in his weight division.
There's only one or two people that really give him issues in his weight class.
and we've seen those fights over and over again
because they're always meeting in the finals for, say,
the worlds in the IBJF.
But Huffa, unless he fights the open class,
would never fight Clark Gracie.
So for them to make that match,
it kind of makes more sense
because, you know,
you get to see maybe
Clark Gracie is probably like maybe a top five in his weight division.
Hapa's maybe like a top two,
top one or two.
so he's right up there and getting to see them both fight each other when people say that
maybe he's the best pound for pound you get to see that put to the test so i thought that was
pretty interesting you wouldn't really get to see it elsewhere so but a big weight discrepancy there
john ever let me ask you something where's your next backyard tournament um my next one man i wanted
to have it maybe in the next week or so but the uh abdubhab pro is is coming up and
some of the fighters that I wanted to be in this one are going to be competing in Abu Dhabi Pro.
I think that's like April 16th or something.
So I will be staying up all night watching Abu Dhabi Pro because they live stream it,
and they do they live stream it on their timetable,
which is pretty much the opposite of ours here in America.
I think the live stream starts at like 10 p.m. or something.
So after that, though, that will be a busy weekend.
Then maybe the weekend after that,
it'll be a good one.
I think we're going to have a couple of bigger named grapplers,
and they're going to fight for hopefully bigger prize money this time.
So it should be a good one.
You are now the official jiu-jitsu guy for the church of what's happening now.
So you have the power to call in whenever you want
and discuss whatever you want.
We love you here.
That's John.
As soon as I thought about you the whole weekend,
I'm like, I can't wait to get them on Monday morning.
So I'm happy to call.
I'm sorry you had to get up earlier.
I know you like to sleep until about 9-15,
but maybe you'll catch the 9 o'clock of Cobranes today.
There you go.
See how I'm inspiring.
Yeah, I know.
I might do it.
I mean, you have to get in the car now
and cut 1,000 motherfuckers off on the 101.
It's deep on a fucking Monday going into Hollywood.
But I love when you call in, John.
You know, I'm a fan of yours.
How can they find your breakdowns
and everything you're involved with with Jitsu?
Yeah, so you can go to my YouTube channel.
That's where I do all my main video updates.
That's just YouTube.com slash BJJ Breakdown.
Or you can go to my Facebook page, which is Facebook.com slash BJJ breakdown as well.
I also have BJJ Breakdown.com, but I'm redoing the site right now.
So it's maybe not quite up-the-date yet.
When are you going to start your podcast, John, Evan?
You need to get out there.
I need to hear you more.
You know, maybe if Jiu-Jitsu gets more popular, especially with events like this that are great and more accessible to the average person, man, I'd love to start one as long as there's a listener base out there that'd like to listen.
I'm telling you, you're knowledgeable, so if you build it, they'll come.
Trust me, my brother.
That's the goal.
Hopefully, with all these tournaments and everything, people get more into it.
Some of the most talented athletes out there are in Jiu-Jitsu,
and it's a really hard sport,
and it's a little bit discouraging to see some of the most amazing technicians
you've seen out there that can barely scrape together to make ends meet.
So hopefully get some more money into the sport and help these guys a little bit.
That's what I'm trying to do, brother.
Thank you very much for calling.
I'll call you later on.
Oh, definitely.
Thank you guys so much.
Thank you, John Evan.
It's always a pleasure for you to call, man.
Like I said, you're the new correspondent for the Churchill
what's happening now, the Jiu-Jitsu Division.
So all you got to do is text me and say,
Joey, I want to call up today.
I want to talk about something of your family.
You're good. All right, brother?
Awesome, man. Thank you.
Thank you, John. Evan. Have a great day.
That was great.
You know, hey, listen, man,
kind of soul.
You know, Eddie gets tortured.
Eddie gets a lot of shit from people
and a lot of people would quit.
Don't ever fucking quit, man.
Like I said, it only hurts for as long as you let it.
You're fucking move.

I can't do burpees
I can't do the hill climbers
I try them, you know, but I'm working
every day man. I'm trying to fucking do this
every day. This weekend I ran two days.
I rode the bike. Inside or outside?
Because outside was a bit. Inside, inside.
No, it wasn't that bad. It wasn't that human. It was
cloudy. It wasn't sunny at all. I got...
Oh, wow. It was cloudy all fucking three days.
I rode the bike for the
first time because my knee was bothering me.
Oh, fuck. So I wanted to really give it some mobility.
So I rode the bike both days for 20 minutes.
Then I got on the treadmill and did the Dolce died for 40 minutes.
So it's a 60 minute of cardio.
You know, I burned some calories.
My shirts were fucking sweaty as fuck.
They smelt.
But, you know, you run, what the Dolce thing is, you walk the first five minutes on, like 3.5.
And then after that, every two minutes, you jog or you sprint for 30 seconds.
And then you walk two minutes.
So it's not bad.
You recover, you put a good, you put an album on on your iPod.
Just put the album on, because it's going to take you 30 minutes.
And you just put the, you walk for the first five, then you fuck around with it.
Sometimes I put it all the way up to like 6.5, and I only sprint for 15 seconds.
But then I'll rest for a minute and 45 seconds.
So you can play around with it.
You know, I do it for like Jiu-Jitsu to get out of a, you know, you're on the bottom
and you want a fucking hip escape and then put them back in your guard.
So that's all I'm doing with that little running thing.
But it was Mike Dolce who invented it.
I didn't invent it.
I just modified it a little bit
like Eddie Bravo,
modified Jiu-Jitsu.
So I did that.
So today,
I was telling you take Sunday
and go back at it today,
but I'm just physically tired today.
I think I'm going to go back
and have breakfast with the family
and maybe do that
and maybe just fuck around
and write and do all that stuff.
What do you got playing that?
You got a podcast?
Got a podcast.
Got the Red Sox coming.
