Starting point is 00:04:50 It's Monday, June the fucking sixth. Holy fuck. I want to thank everybody who came out to the shows in Atlantic City this weekend and I saw you motherfuckers walking around and whatnot. I've got to be honest. I've been doing comedy for a long fucking time and this was just insane.
Starting point is 00:05:10 It was insane. It really was the amount of people, the amount of love, you know, people were really happy. You know, thank God there was no incidents or anything like that. I mean, you know, across the fucking way they shot six people in Philly last night or something.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I mean, you know, the shit don't. don't stop. But anyway, when I hear to fucking talk about that, you know, I have not been around more than 2,000 people since the pandemic. I went to the Sopranos premiere at the Beacon, which was 2,200 people, something like that. You know, that's the most I've been involved with. That place supposedly sat 5,000, 4,800. I've got to be honest with, you guys, it felt like fucking 20,000 people. I mean, there were people everywhere. I was going to going to go down Thursday night and do a warm-up at the Tropicana because my friend
Starting point is 00:06:01 Eleanor was there, Carrigan. She'd been on the podcast and whatnot. She told me to go down there for a workout, but the fucking skies were turning black on Thursday. So I ended up going to Uncle Vinnie's and just doing a little fucking 15-minute spot, a little warm-up. There was maybe 20 people in the room, but it was fucking superb. Sometimes when you want to work out a little crowd, like that's why Eleanor was making
Starting point is 00:06:24 me go down to fucking AC because she goes, these are just people come in they don't want to they don't even know the comics they're probably waiting for the bus back up north they probably lost all their money you know because when you you can take a bus from anywhere to Atlantic City they have packages for you
Starting point is 00:06:40 I don't know what it is out of Philly in North Jersey it used to be when I was a kid it was 15 bucks but when you got to Atlantic City they gave you $10 and quarters and they gave you coupons for restaurants cigarettes you know all that shit and they give you a coupon for
Starting point is 00:06:57 a comedy club. So when you lose all your money, because when you go to Atlantic City, they want you there for a while. I don't know. Vegas will take you, but when you're broke, they're like, get the fuck out. Atlantic City, they'll have you hang out for a few hours. Just to see if you could think of a cousin
Starting point is 00:07:15 or something. You could borrow the last 200 from our Western Union. I swear to God, about 20 years ago, I went to Atlantic City with my dear friend, Jimmy Berkel. I used to meet him, on Tuesdays and come to Point Pleas and it had to be, I don't even fucking know.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I was doing comedy and I went to Atlantic City with him to eat. He told me there was a place that had all you can eat crab legs and that they were really good, that you wouldn't shit blood. So I said, let's go down there. We went down there and while I was sitting there, somebody said to me, Joey, do you want to do a set? Now, at this time, the guy came up and he goes,
Starting point is 00:07:48 aren't you a comic? And I go, yeah, you know, I was like a feature act. I go, yeah. And he goes, at the comedy store, right? And I go, yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes, I saw you one night. Do you have 20 minutes? I go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:58 He goes, can you come over to the Tropicana and do a 15-minute set with short on comics? I said, yeah, when I walked in there, that's when I remembered that these people aren't performing for? Like, no, I'm lying to you, people. When I got on stage and I started bombing
Starting point is 00:08:14 with material that, you know, I had been on the road. At that time, I was on the road every fucking death. You know, so this material that was killing, it was 20 good minutes from the store. I brought it in front of these people, Doug. it was like doing comedy in front of death people they were just fucking depressed
Starting point is 00:08:30 looking at the floor I saw a lot of people looking at their cards and shit and I'm like remember that coupon that they gave the people to wait for the bus these are those people because what happens is they give you
Starting point is 00:08:44 let's tell you take the 9 o'clock a.m. bus to Atlantic City they're not bringing you back till 7 they don't care what you say you could be dying of a heart attack They ain't bringing you back You fucking came at 9
Starting point is 00:08:59 You agreed to 7 and that's it You can't get on an earlier bus back So every hour that you came Like at 9 o'clock people have to live at a certain time 10 o'clock people have to leave at a certain time It just goes on and on They goes later So these people got to sit around for that fucking
Starting point is 00:09:13 But how long does it take you to lose money? Listen, it takes me Eight seconds to lose 20 bucks In a fucking a one-arm machine How do I know? Because I just lost it Saturday morning I went for a walk in the casino And I threw it 20. And it takes me eight seconds to lose.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I'm exaggerating. It takes me eight minutes to lose $20. You know, you win a couple fucking ding ding things. You know, you get the two fucking cousins or whatever. You win a little bit. But then at the end, you just, you get bored. And you're just going, either hit me with a jackpot or take my fucking money. That's what they do.
Starting point is 00:09:44 It's like back and forth. I'm up 100 credits. I'm down 60 credits. I'm back up to 200 credits. And finally you just go, fuck this shit. I'm just going to lose. I lose. You know, you just, that's what you're there for.
Starting point is 00:09:54 you know, they got to pay me to perform. I might as well throw a 20 or 40 or lose. I'm not going to fucking, if there's a sports betting and I could spend the night, I wouldn't fucking mind, but I wasn't going to spend the night. So I said, fuck, and I got draft kings. Why would I fucking use them? They're right in my fucking phone.
Starting point is 00:10:08 So that's what Atlantic City was about. That's the last time I went to Atlantic City. And then before that, I'd been through a Borgada a couple times. I did the Borgata on my own a couple times. But again, when you sign in to the Borgata, they tell you don't leave the fucking building. So it's not like your sight scene all over Atlantic City.
Starting point is 00:10:26 You know what I'm saying? Saturday morning when I woke up, I had a window that was facing the boardwalk in the ocean. I'm like, this is fucking beautiful. My wife was, I called my wife when I woke up before I ate breakfast. She's like, it's fucking hot out. I go, I'm going out there. I went for a walk, bro, and it just wasn't right.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Like the sand felt kind of cheap. Like everything. Yeah, it was like a storm shit. It just didn't feel right. The ocean smelled great. I didn't really walk all the way out on the beach because a lot of people were saying hello and shit. I mean, everybody was walking around.
Starting point is 00:11:05 It seemed like everybody that was walking around was going to that show. All shapes and colors, all sizes. You know, it was just crazy. You know, there was some Chinese people waving at me. Like, we're going to the show. And I'm like, holy fuck, you know, but they were really like Asian. You know, when you see like eight white guys and an Asian guy, but when you see eight fucking Asians, they're like, ah!
Starting point is 00:11:25 I was like, holy shit. Every restaurant we went into, there were people that were going to the show that said hello. The two guys from fucking Philly showed up. My brothers, we could not connect. That's why I went down to walk around.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That's why I played slot machines. I was trying to meet those two fucking savages. I don't know where anything is. So they said, meet by the front desk. There's 22 fucking front desk. So I went down there, I walked around. I sat on the slot machine. I fucking played a couple one arms.
Starting point is 00:11:54 And then I just said, What am I going to do? I went up there. I couldn't fucking sleep Friday night. So I stayed up to like five. Just listening to music with the earbuds. It's tremendous. No high, no nothing.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I had to drink a fucking shot of NyQuil to finally fucking fall asleep. And then a Friday night show, guys, you ever walk into something and you're not sure? You ever walk into like a new job and you're really not sure? And deep down inside, you're lost. But you're trying really hard to keep,
Starting point is 00:12:25 it together. That was me Friday. From the minute I got in the car and I drove down there, you know, I had a bunch of people saying, and I come down with you listen, I want to drive by myself just to clear my head. It was an hour and a half drive. I wanted to think of jokes. You know, I was one of listening, a fucking great music was on. You know, when you go for a nice car ride, that's all I pray for it. I don't get a flat. And then I got great music on the fucking ride. I had my vapor pen. I got nice and fucking lit, you know. But the whole weekend, like, as soon as I walked in there Friday, I brought a bag of edibles for the guys from Philly. I brought a bags of edibles to give away. I think I gave away 20 edibles, you know, a couple of show.
Starting point is 00:13:06 You know what I'm saying? Just a couple. I gave away a ton of laughing gas down there. So if people can't look at one of those little, we gave away, I say, guys, and they all say, you know, sample, one gram, whatever, but we gave away tons of white truffle, tons of rainbow, tons of rainbow, ruts, tons of sashimi. They gave away my hat, listen, my hat's off to the laughing gas people this week. They really, it was just a great week for fucking laughing gas and, you know, I'm trying to really hard, I'm trying really hard to get laughing gas in New Jersey at all these fucking dispensaries.
Starting point is 00:13:46 The sweet is fucking great guys. And I'm really proud of what they did with it. And it gets your fucking stone, you know, two, three bong hits. You're rocking and rolling. And then it's like a sleeper weed sometimes. Sometimes you do it. You don't really, like the other night, when I told you guys, I smoked with Tommy. I rolled a tremendous joint of Rainbow Ruts.
Starting point is 00:14:04 And me and Tommy smoked, I got to be honest. I got in the car. I'm like, nothing happened. And all of a sudden I got to the restaurant. I'm like, whoa, something did happen. I told that way to bring that lobster bis double quick, Jack. Seriously, but I got cotton mouth and shit. So it's one of those weeds.
Starting point is 00:14:19 It creeps up on you. You know, I gave some from my boy John Rollo from Submit. I forget the name of his Jim. down in Baltimore. And he hit me back the next day. He goes, man, I smoked two joints. I'm fucking gone. Like, he goes, I smoked a joint before breakfast.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And then me and my brother smoked a number. He goes, but I really like it. I like how it tastes. Guys, I don't know much about reefer or what goes in it. I can lie to you. Turpines, I don't know anything. These guys are geniuses. My man Scott, my man Joe Pepts, they're fucking geniuses.
Starting point is 00:14:48 And my hearts and my hats go off to them for coming down. I mean, we were, there was. a metal detector. And we were right by the metal detector just giving out gram samples. And when I woke up, I went down with maybe 10 gram samples. I came out
Starting point is 00:15:06 right at the thing. And then one of the hotel guys came up to me. He goes, man, I would love to smoke that, but you can't give it to me on camera. But if you threw it in the garbage, I said, done. I go over by the other security guard. I'll walk over there, throw it in the garbage. You come get it after I go upstairs when
Starting point is 00:15:24 the camera and I you know more boom and that's exactly what I did we gave a lot away man and uh I'm really proud of these guys I'm proud to be a part with them we've gotten uh everything worked out and now we're going straight fucking ahead so uh that was great that was great but I didn't do any edibles I wanted to feel it I wanted to see first all I'm not gonna lie to I was scared of anxiety it had been my first big big shout out and I thought I was gonna crumble but guys I walked in there I kept it together. We went into the green room. My heart started beating a little bit the first nine.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I'm not going to lie to you. But then I remembered that if you don't, if you're not scared, then don't be there because you don't want to be there. You should be a little bit of fear. When they called my name and I walked up to the stage, the first night guys, I had to control my ass. So I thought I was going to blow a fart and diarrhea was going to come out.
Starting point is 00:16:20 But I just faked the funk. I walked up there I tried to keep it controlled as I could Some of the jokes I said didn't work You know I couldn't hear it It was such a big fucking room You don't really know what's going on And I felt okay
Starting point is 00:16:35 Listen if you knew where I was at I felt okay Just because I drove down there And made it Just because of that I tapped myself on the back Because Friday morning I was looking for an excuse
Starting point is 00:16:46 I was praying that my daughter would give me that COVID she had last week I'm like let me get a test You sure I don't feel nothing And I'm like, Joey, what the fuck is wrong with you? But that's what happens to all my trips. Even before the pandemic, when I was on the road every week, soon as that fucking Uber came, I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:17:04 As soon as I get in the Uber and I slammed the door and I checked my wallet and I got my fucking weed and everything, I'm going to do a job. I'll see you, motherfucker, Sunday. But leading up to that, I get nerves. So what I did Friday when I woke up, guys, I was a mess. and I was going to leave early and I go uh-uh
Starting point is 00:17:22 I'm gonna go to jujitsu I went to fucking jujitsu and I have the whoop watch and usually when I press jujitsu your heart comes up and it tells you what the beats are you know I don't know what I was beating usually
Starting point is 00:17:36 on a regular basis but I know when I tapped into the fucking jihitsu Friday that thing was like a hundred and something fucking beats a minute I'm like oh I'm gonna have a heart attack I started running
Starting point is 00:17:46 I did some laps and that's like the third lap I'm like Oh, this is not going to work. I can't even catch my breath. And I just stuck to it. I didn't give up. I just stuck to it.
Starting point is 00:17:56 By the time we got to the squats and the fucking mountain climbers and everything, I got up, I was hot, I was all discombobulated. Then we started doing some drills and shit. And all of a sudden I'm like, my anxiety went away. I forgot all of my anxiety for 25 fucking minutes.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Gone. I was breathing normal. I came home. I washed my pussy. I had a fucking cheeseburger mama made. I pointed that car south. I put that fucking wave on. That's the name of the app.
Starting point is 00:18:20 waves, whatever the fuck, and I shot down there, said an hour and a half on the dot, I beat it by fucking three minutes. It was tremendous. Listen, even the drive didn't bother me. I didn't get car sick till last night on the way fucking home. Just 20 minutes before I got on the 18, I think I had eight miles left to go, and I started feeling a little weird. I had to open up all the fucking windows in the goddamn car, and the air was blast, and I'm in there
Starting point is 00:18:47 fucking dizzy. that guy I had a little water I came home fucking Saturday night I walked in my daughter was up my wife were up we watched something that was on and me my daughter watched the honeymoon and that was my motherfucking weekend guys
Starting point is 00:19:01 and last night I slept fucking fantastic or Saturday not I slept fantastic but Friday I went back to my room after it was all said and done and you know I do my little fucking stretching I jump in the shower
Starting point is 00:19:20 or I get that cigarette smoke and that malukia and COVID air off your neck. And I realized I couldn't fall asleep. And it was because my mind was racing a million miles a minute from what I had just saw, you know, what I had just been a part of. I realized, you know, the last two years, guys, I don't know where my head was at. I realized that I was part of something. You know, I realized that no matter how bad I want to pull out of it, I'll always be a part of something.
Starting point is 00:19:48 When I went to the Philly game last Monday I was pucking around with people and talking to the guys and my daughter and Jimmy and the guy came over to me with his son and this is weird I didn't want to say this but the son took a picture
Starting point is 00:20:03 the son was a really nice guy and his father came over and he goes I appreciate you taking a picture of my son he goes I got two sons he goes I got him and another fucking clown he goes this guy's okay my other guy is a bit moody
Starting point is 00:20:17 he goes except when you're on. He goes, except when you're on. So he goes, I just want to tell you, I owe you a dinner or whatever you want because you bring a lot of happiness to my one kid. This guy's all right.
Starting point is 00:20:32 But my other one, he's a little fucking slow. You know, that's how Philly people talk to you. Not autistic, not fucking, you know, he's got levels. No, he's a little slow. When people tell you that about their kid, you're like, this guy's all right. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:20:45 But that, it just all clicked. me at that time. He goes, you know, when my son is down, you make him happy, you know. And I was like, really? I don't know what the fuck I do to make anybody. I can't even make myself fucking happy. So, you know what, man? I don't want to take it to where I was, but I really, I got to get out of this house, guys. So I'm definitely taking the fucking developmental show at the Sony Theater in Manhattan starting in September. I'm definitely going to take that deal. It's just one Saturday a month. You know, and I'm excited about the Burt tour.
Starting point is 00:21:23 You know, this week I'm going to go out with Rich Voss a couple times. I'm going to go out with Jimmy. I need to get out two nights a week. That's it. I just need to get out two nights a week. Not fucking Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I'm busy here. But I had to find the happy medium.
Starting point is 00:21:40 And I'm sure that we all go through that in our lives. Where look at two years to find the happy medium. Two years. So don't, you know, if you think you're looking for a happy medium. to figure out how to juggle three things at once, your career, your family, you know, listen, I don't have that career no more. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I don't, I don't even have a theatrical agent. If one of my friends wants to put me in a TV show or in a movie, so fucking be it. But a fucking, uh, liquid IV cocks up. It's tremendous. I needed it. I took one yesterday morning. What was I talking about?
Starting point is 00:22:15 I'm sorry. When I splashed my nose with the liquid IV. Now I got Concord grape in my nose. I love it. but people always trying to figure out how to juggle things some people more intelligent some are fucking retard like me and it took me two years to realize that it's not whether or not I want to do comedy
Starting point is 00:22:32 it's that I need something in my life and there's nothing else in my life I've already done coke I've already mugged people I've already done time I've listened to all these fucking albums 55,000 times which I enjoy I wish I could find somebody to pay me to listen to fucking music but I couldn't criticize music so why listen you know I listen to music for myself.
Starting point is 00:22:52 But I think that was the best part of the whole weekend. You know, I realized a lot of things this last week. I realized that my wife and I have to get out more at night, one night a week. I realize that I have to get out more. It's just healthier for you. I'm not a TV guy, guys. I'm a movie guy. I love watching a movie on TV, on the television, whatever.
Starting point is 00:23:16 But I'm not a guy that, you know, I followed the Sopranos. home on Sundays to watch it, but I'm not one of those guys. A lot of the shows that you got, it's a 20th anniversary of the fucking wire, though, today. And today it aired on HBO. What was it? June 2nd. June 2nd was what the fucking 20 year? Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Wow. So it was 20 years for the Sopranos two years ago, and then right during the wire, they, wow. That's how much into comedy I was, guys. I didn't know what was going on in 2001 and 2000. I was just fucking, you know, it was just a process, a part of it. But even my wife this week, we made a decision she's going to get a job. And she was like, you know what, I don't want to go back to accounting. And she goes, I want something light.
Starting point is 00:24:06 I go, then get a fucking job at massage therapy, you know, massage envy, you know, answering phones. And she's like, I went. And then she went to a couple places. And this is where it gets tricky, guys. You sit, you drive everywhere, you go to stores. How many fucking help wanted signs do you see? They're everywhere. I think there's two shores that can't open in Jersey because they got no lifeguards.
Starting point is 00:24:27 They got no fucking lifeguards because Wildwood Crest pays 20 an hour and the other ones pay 13. So fucking that, you know, it's, it's a rhythmic thing. But that's not the point. The point is my wife went to like four places last week, one a day, just that she just saw. There's a place by Target. She went to coal, something like that. You know what everybody told? Check back with us after July.

Starting point is 00:26:12 Or just medical transport. You take people from their house to the doctor office. That's fun too. Get them high. Give them an edible. Take them to fucking chick filet. Get them a chicken, a non-gay chicken sandwich. and shit. Chick-fil-A's in the news again.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I don't know for what. But fuck you, motherfucker. Is that right? Leave Chick-fil-A alone. They just, they even close on Sundays, which tells you, these motherfuckers got class. Leave chicken filet alone. What's the matter with you? Everybody else is bothering you on Sunday to come in, get a deal. Chick-fil-A don't say dick. They're in home counting fucking 20s.
Starting point is 00:26:42 So what they're? So what? I don't even know what they did now. I don't even know what they did. Every fucking day. Those chicken sandwiches don't bother nobody. And they're quick. You go over the fucking Costco, there's a fucking chick fillet by Costco, that place is fucking mobbed constantly.
Starting point is 00:26:59 But if you go there, you're in and out of it in two fucking minutes. I don't know how to fuck they do it. That's what it was. It's birth control and they don't cover abortions under insurance. Yep. Because they're Catholic. Yeah, I'm Catholic too. But that's true too. If I didn't fuck you, why am I paying? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:23 If I didn't fuck you, why am I paying? So, I don't know. know, with all this abortion, this whole abortion shit, I don't pay attention to it. I don't know why people decide on what a woman's fucking menstrual cycle or when she's going to have a baby or at one point. I'm so disgusted by the whole, guys, you've never heard me doing abortion joke.
Starting point is 00:27:45 You've never heard me break it down. I don't know if it's the Catholic in me or the fucking, I don't know. I just never clicked on with that shit. I don't like periods. Listen, there's only one thing about pussy. I like eating pussy. All the other matters of the pussy, I have no idea about. I'm not a blood man.
Starting point is 00:28:04 I don't have red wings for you nasty motherfuckers that eat period pussy with red wings. I got none of that shit. You know, I don't have any of that stuff. I must hate a period pussy once by mistake, but we're not even going to discuss it because I might fucking faint on location here. But I don't, you know, every, you know, Road versus Wade, I just avoid the whole fucking thing. somebody got into a conversation of me that is it legal to keep them to their
Starting point is 00:28:29 20 weeks, listen, I don't know, it's got nothing to do with me, move the fuck on. All I know is, it's fucking Monday, cock suckers. It's June the fucking 6th. I got something interesting to tell you. Maybe I don't know, 1981.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I went to see Nazareth on June 6th, and they billed it as a 666, but there was like 2 6th, but no there was no fucking third 6th. because it wasn't 1986, it was 81, so I couldn't figure out
Starting point is 00:28:59 but that night it was at the fucking palladium. I don't know if you guys liked Nazareth a lot. I'm not a big fan of Nazareth. I like, don't even talk to me about Love Hertz.
Starting point is 00:29:09 I don't want to hear Love Hertz or every rose has this dawn. I don't want to hear those two fucking songs. But who are we talking about? 81. No, the Nazareth concert was the Palladium. I want this dude Louis Castellito.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And we went to this fucking show. And like I said, I'm not a big fan of Nazareth. I just loved going to see live music back then. They had that song, the album Hair the Dog, and another one, you know. And we went there, and Hair of the Dog was great. But I'm going to tell you what song, till this day, I can't believe that they blew out of the fucking water. Cocaine.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Till this day, it was the best version I've ever heard of cocaine. And it was like, it was one of those. those combination acoustic like they all got off their instruments it was like the first unplugged and they did like two songs but the first one was cocaine and it was
Starting point is 00:30:06 fucking sensational fucking sensational well listen there's two ways to cover it in their style well listen there's two ways to cover a song there's the way to cover it the way they did it okay and I respect that
Starting point is 00:30:21 you respect it or your interpretation of that song. What's really funny, last night, I was driving home, and I heard Sympathy for the Devil live. And I'm thinking to myself, this doesn't sound anything like the studio song.
Starting point is 00:30:39 It's very all over the place. I mean, the mechanics of it are in there. You know, pooh, boo, boo, you know, all that shit. The guitar solo was really good. But it was a different, like there were bongos involved, and he slowed it up a little bit. And believe it or not,
Starting point is 00:30:54 When I was younger, I didn't like seeing that. But think about it, guys. It's like a good joke. It's not going to, if you want that joke to evolve, you're going to add all those layers to it. I would love, I would love to write a 45-minute bit on one topic. Just run with that one topic, you know, because think about it. If you wrote, I don't know, a whole lot of love in 1969.
Starting point is 00:31:21 and you're the songwriter, you arranged it, you played the instruments, whatever. What do you want a whole lot of love to sound like in 1990 if you wrote it in 1969? So when you go see a live band, like one of these older cats, these older bands, I'm still looking for somebody who's going to do that because a lot of people don't have the courage to do that
Starting point is 00:31:47 because people paid money. And some people went, like I went to see Eric Clapton, in, I don't know, 92. People were booing because he did a blues. It was a blues tour, but people wanted to hear Layla. You follow me? But back to interpretation, think about it. If I had a whole lot of love, have you heard Prince do a whole lot of love?
Starting point is 00:32:12 There's a video on YouTube right now. I wish you could put it up and we could put it right here. We don't have that capability no more. We don't have the need to get that. Sign me up on that. Fucking, there's a thing about Prince. Prince has a video on YouTube, a whole lot of love. Fresh from Vegas.
Starting point is 00:32:27 It's live from Las Vegas. That's what a whole lot of love you wanted to sound like. And that's what Prince did. Princeton interpretations. When Prince did those shows in Vegas where you would throw up the idea, you would tell him what you want to hear, it was phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:32:45 But he did his interpretation. I heard he played, I think Josh Wolf went to see him. Josh Wolf said somebody told him to play Nobody's Forl from Merrill Smith, one of my favorite fucking Aero Smith songs on rocks. He said it was fucking fantastic. And then when I saw a whole lot of love, I was on that video for a year.
Starting point is 00:33:06 I would put it on every day. The solos? Oh my God. It's a funky whole lot of love. That's what it is. It's a very funky whole lot of love. It's interpretation. Guys, I'm going to tell you something.
Starting point is 00:33:20 If there wasn't a thing called joke stealing, It would be very interesting to see what other comics could do with other comics key jokes. That would be something I would fucking want to explore. How would, you know, Mike, who's a nice guy, doesn't curse much, how would Mike do with Richard Pry a bit? Do you know what I'm saying? Like somebody against the core, that would be interesting because I want to see what you would do with that joke. so would somebody clean would do it a dirty joke and would somebody dirty do it a clean joke
Starting point is 00:34:00 I've always thought about that I've always thought about that because listen like there was one joke thief that said that he didn't steal people's jokes he just made them better and by what he's saying is you got a 15 year comic 20 year comic that's a veteran you got an open micah that's been doing comedy for three years
Starting point is 00:34:21 it doesn't even know what to do with that joke he really doesn't I mean, he's, but he's a brilliant kid for coming up with it. But there's scumbag comics that would steal those jokes from those open micers and build them into themselves. What is a fucking kid in Missouri going to tell, you know, I don't know, I'm just using a name here. I don't want to throw a name because then you'll say I'm accusing him of joke stealing. Joe Schmo. What if Joe Schmo, the biggest comic in the world, went to fucking Montana.
Starting point is 00:34:52 worked on a weekend with some young comic that was fucking tremendous. You know, you can tell when somebody's going to be good. They just don't have all the tools, but he had two or three jokes that were right fucking there. You're like, those jokes are fucking pretty good. Those are the jokes. Professional comics would steal from those young guys
Starting point is 00:35:10 and then take it and interpret it in their own way. You know, a 20-year comic that's been writing jokes is going to do way better than a comic that's been doing jokes for three years and they do it. It's very sad to a guy like me. I wouldn't do that to a young comic that deflates everything a comic has early on.
Starting point is 00:35:32 It's good that he experiences it. Do you know what I'm saying? It's pretty good that you experience it so you know it's out there so you trust no one. But it's kind of shitty to do that. And, bro, it happened to a lot of comics. Years ago, a lot of comics were complaining
Starting point is 00:35:47 that these big-time comics would come to their town. Maine, you know, Pittsburgh. Nobody's seen these guys. Nobody knows who they are. You could steal their joke. Take it to L.A., develop it. And one day, you're sitting with your friends going,
Starting point is 00:36:00 let's go watch Uncle Joey. I worked with him at Helium. He was great. And all of a sudden, you're seeing your fucking jokes on this spectrum. You're like, that kills comics. I saw comics that they couldn't recover from that. It took a while to recover from that. But I'll tell you the biggest interpretation.
Starting point is 00:36:17 They're one of my favorite bands. They're in the top three favorite bands. I've always known about this. You try to avoid it. You try not to think about it because you love them so much. You know, it's like somebody telling you your favorite movie star did something. You're like, I don't even believe it because he would never do that. You know, shit like that.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Led Zeppelin. I love Led Zeppelin. I don't want to call him a thief. I don't want to call him a thief. I will call him music interpreters. you know a couple years ago they had that case
Starting point is 00:36:53 in Los Angeles and Led Zeppelin won I love Led Zeppelin but they lost that case if you listen to what those people did and you listen to it Jimmy Ben and I love Led Zeppelin
Starting point is 00:37:05 I got to be honest with myself I'm a big fan of this Dave DeLingis sends me 20 books by them I got 20 books by them I've read 50 books by them you know it hurts my feelings when I look to fucking explain music to people
Starting point is 00:37:18 or stand-up with a joke. I like Led Zeppelin. That's why I'm a fucking savage. They're in my psyche. I love everything about them. But the truth of the matter is, they lost that fucking case. Dog, you guys know I love Law and Order. Even without the fucking degree, I could be a judge. And I'd be partial and favorite. I'm always fair with people. I'm fair with my own fucking things. I'd be a great judge. Whoever judge that? And listen, if I was the judge, the only reason I would favor Led Zeppelin is one reason. This is what I thought of. I don't even know if you guys want to hear this or not.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I think it's interesting. The only reason why I favorite Led Zeppelin is this. Because if I gave the fucking money to the people who actually wrote the song, if fucking these people would have showed up a year after the album would have came out, we could have worked something out of it. But you showed up 50 fucking years after the album came out, guys. I don't know if that's exact. I'll look it up tonight.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I'm just tossing off the top of my head of here. You showed up 50 years after the fact. And listen, when you listen to the fucking people who wrote it and you listen to Jimmy Page's version, don't look me in the eye and tell me that that's not the same. The problem is, you want me to tell you why Led Zeppelin won? Because how many people would have to unburied from the fucking grave? How many?
Starting point is 00:38:37 Every time I hear Zeppelin in the fucking car, I think of four people. My mother, Anthony Balzano, Dominic Spatial, and this girl. Why? Because they played that song at their fucking third. funerals okay that song in the 70s if your kid died the car accident or your kid fell off a fucking swing and he died you know because we were younger like a 16 year old kid dies you know how an 18 year old prom kids die when they go to a prom and shit like that god forbid i'm talking about this
Starting point is 00:39:05 but it's the truth how many times we put fucking stay away the heaven on you know to mourn that person or whatever in our own like it made you think of that person or something so there's been 50 fucking years of dead bodies and people fucking thinking about people. That's the only reason I could see why Led Zeppelin got the award. It would just untwist so many fucking things at this point. Do you follow me? Like how many albums are they have to go back into?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Like anything they released after that point would have to have them on it. It would be 50 years of fucking work reprinting posters. You know, a whole lot of love was stolen, you know, shit like that. I mean, what, how much work would you have to undo emotionally? Just, you know, and I wish they would have gave something to the people. Like, I wish Jimmy Pageler said, listen, you should have shut your fucking mouth and come to me on the side. I would have thrown you 10 G's or something, a million dollars. I mean, I wish Zeppelin somewhere they find a way maybe some undisclosed deal they made to maybe throw them fucking a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:40:08 I mean, how much money does Zeppelin make off that fucking song? Concerts, you know, the whole thing included. Come on. So they're an interpretation band. If you, guys, go on YouTube. I'm not talking out of my ass now. I had to do this at night when there was nobody around because I was so ashamed. On YouTube, there's maybe six videos of people who have sat down and put Led Zepple.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Put the original. Have you seen it? Fucking interesting as shit. And it breaks your fucking heart. One night I started writing the songs down and I couldn't because I knew I couldn't listen to them the same. But then after you smoke a journey, you're like, what do I give a fuck? You know, I just want to listen to music. I got to get into the fucking bowels of this shit.
Starting point is 00:40:51 But it does bother a guy like me. You know, it bothers a musician that people could do this, that Mike could go to his open mic on a Monday night with one of his original songs that him and his buddy wrote. And some fucking guitar tech is in there and puts his phone on. And just goes, no. Then he goes home, puts his guitar on it, whatever. And then he goes, I'm not talking about a guitar tech, maybe a guitarist, maybe a rhythm guitarist,
Starting point is 00:41:23 that, you know, is in a band that he's struggling. You know, people like bands, they always say everybody has to bring material in. You know, you want to get from everybody a collaboration. That's what a band's about. So I don't fucking know. But they're the best interpreters of all time. And there's times, guys, I'm not going to lie to you, I've heard a joke that I say, maybe I should add that to it, that to it.
Starting point is 00:41:46 And then I just mind my business. I don't want to go up to a comic ever and go, hey, you should add this tag. That's none of my business, you know. While I'm with them, I could say the tag out loud. And if they hear it and they like it, they can take it. That's their decision. But I would never go up to a comic.
Starting point is 00:42:05 That's just me, guys. You know, I don't like a lot of these comics that come up to you and want to fucking, you know, I'm up here killing. You're up here sitting watching and you're going to come up to me and get. And I understand there's a lot of guys that are great writers. And when they see you, they can fucking... But there's some guys... I had...
Starting point is 00:42:21 I had... Somebody told me that one night they were at a club and they were taping their... This thing, and a comic would go on there and go, don't use that joke. He would go home at night and play the recording, and on the recording, you would hear the audience, and then the comic would say,
Starting point is 00:42:36 don't use that joke. Don't you? And then he went up to the comic one day and said, stop saying that shit to me. But there's guys, I think they could just come up to you. I would never go up to a comic and give him a tag. You know how many people have given me, tags? One person gave me a tag. I said it and I got accused of being a fucking joke deep.
Starting point is 00:42:55 And I never said the joke again. So that's why I don't, I would never go up to you with something. I don't expect you to trust me. Especially if I don't know you, like if Josh Wolf comes up to me or Lee or Mike or somebody I know that I'm friends with the long time and they're a comic and I respect them a lot. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. I'll think about it. At least I'll listen to it. But just a random comic, I can't do it because I don't know where the fuck they got it from. And then I'm the fucking bad guy. So I don't even know how he got to interpretations. We got the music this week.
Starting point is 00:43:27 I came here to talk to you motherfuckers about Atlantic City. And how happy I was that I made it down there. I was shitting pickles, guys. I'm not going to lie to you. I really was. I was shitting pickles. And, you know, guys, I'm just, I'm ashamed sometimes. I took off some time, but I'm not.
Starting point is 00:43:43 This is why people make what's called a comeback. this is what it's called now so it's whatever I want to do I know where I'm taking this comeback and you always hear people say this I'm only going to do a couple nights a week and shit but I'm getting old guys you know I get tired
Starting point is 00:43:59 I don't know how I'm going to feel every day I really miss writing I really miss sitting down and like I journal you know I journal a lot I write about what's going on but I haven't really written comedy my mind I can't lie to you.
Starting point is 00:44:17 My mind, you know, since you're out of it so long, now you're getting to get back in it. You know, when you're a comic, I've learned how to become a comic by a guy named Roger Holloway. Roger Holloway passed two years ago when I moved here. Roger Holloway, in, like, indirectly, without him knowing it or I knowing it, we developed a comedian's mind.
Starting point is 00:44:44 A comedian's mind is when you're doing, when you're walking around, when you're doing normal things, it's not that you say something. It's that you think it. It pops into your head and you actually go, holy fuck, that's funny. That's the comedian's mind.
Starting point is 00:45:02 So for years, from hanging with him through my high school, it's weird because I've been thinking about a lot. 40 years ago, this month, we graduated high school, all of us, we were that tight, but I was learning, you know, It was just an amazing experience. I miss those guys a lot.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I miss what we were, but time goes on. He passed. You know, my other buddy, Glenn, is busy. I'm going to hit him up this week. The other guy, he's off the fucking rails. But the best thing about Roger was that whenever you were with him, he always had a low voice. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:38 So no matter what was going on, he could always hit you with a joke in your ear, and you would fucking die. And it was the funniest fucking thing in the world. Or he would just turn his face and say something, take a look at this fucking guy. You know, something like that, to that effect. And you would lose it.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And I remember in 85 being in Boulder and being without Roger for like, I hadn't seen Roger since January of New Year's of 85. And then I saw him briefly before I left. And I'll never forget, I remember walking down the street to Boulder and just giggling, having a fucking party going on in my head. Look at this guy's fucking sneakers.
Starting point is 00:46:16 How many dicks does she suck last night? Look at this one over here. How fat is he? You know, just, and even if it's not right, I know, I'm not shaming anybody. Just in my mind, you're working that machine gun. That's how it starts. I really haven't had that in a while. Yeah, I say things to myself.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Sometimes I make myself laugh in the car with a bad song or something, but it's not as strong as it was, you know, when I was in it. Now, I've got to build that up. Like, I think of jokes and shit when I'm rapping, when I'm talking to Mike or something, me and Mike might laugh. And I go, that's a good joke. joke but I'm not going to write that right now you know I don't have time for that so
Starting point is 00:46:49 I just got to get that back on and part of how do you get back that how do you get that going again is not by sitting on your fucking ass it's by fucking getting on stage so I'll announce whatever dates I could get once I start making dates
Starting point is 00:47:06 like real dates but for now I'm just going to do pop-ins at different clubs and uh hopefully I'll bump into you motherfuckers this week rich Voss is in town next two weeks, so I'm thinking of going with him into the city. I mean, Ari's taping the special. I think it's next Friday
Starting point is 00:47:22 and Saturday. So I'm thinking of going up there and giving Ari's support. He's taping Jew at one of the theaters. I'm sure if you go to Ari's webpage or his Twitter, he's got that address or whatever. I don't know what it is. I haven't spoken with him in a few days, but Ari's
Starting point is 00:47:38 doing that next week. Jim Norton's at Uncle Vinnie's. So I was thinking to going down there, maybe Friday or Saturday and catching my friend Jimmy. He's a funny motherfucker. I don't know who's at the other clubs or whatnot. But yeah, huh? Dunkley.
