Starting point is 00:01:40 Get the lollipops. We're going deep tonight, motherfucker. The church, what's happening now? Wednesday, February 4th. The day the devil was buried at sea. He's right here. Getting bidslapped in the room. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:01:55 A black fucking vampire movie. What? That's how we roll, motherfuckers. Are you kidding me or what? Sling a dick and giving out popsicles. Let's do this shit. I would never have guessed that you would come up with that song. This is a bad motherfucking jam.
Starting point is 00:02:17 This is one of the greatest openings and the top ten openings in the movie. When Cid, whatever name is, Tracy Lloyds takes a good-looking dude to the fucking, the dude from Sons of Anarchy to the fucking, he got blown up that dude before he started telling me. Oh, he's not, that's a dude from Sons of Anarchy. He was in season three or two or one fucking blonde guy that used to go to Marie ETC over there. Okay. She takes him to the dance, and the vampires fucking, they turn into Donald Logers in the scene getting his dick sucked.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Right at the club, you see the chick sucking his dick, and he's sitting next to another one, and all of a sudden she comes in with the guy, and the guy's dancing with these hot chairs and these Asians jumping up and down, they're all dancing to rave, and all of a sudden the faucets open up and blood starts coming out. And everybody's... Of where?
Starting point is 00:03:03 Out of the fucking pipes and the ceilings. Oh, shit. It's like a meat plant upstairs where they kill. cows and stuff, but that's where they drain the blood probably. Who the fuck knows? But it's tremendous. And the fact that you haven't seen it really fucking infuriates me. Why? Because you're into all that
Starting point is 00:03:19 shit, dragons, all your young kids are into dragons and demons and black vampires and shit. People coming back from the fucking dead. You know what I never understood that. People sitting at home every fucking Sunday watching the show about people coming back from the dead and everybody wants to be in an apocalypse and people going down to the show and dressing up
Starting point is 00:03:39 like zambos and walking around. Get it together. Go eat your wife's pussy, were you? You don't believe in dressing up like a zombie? Yeah, yeah, I do it every fucking weekend. That's me. That's what I do. I want to dress up like a zombie
Starting point is 00:03:50 and walk around. Like, get the fuck out of here, all right? Go watch a whatever Romero movie and get their full effect. That's the Dawn of the Dead and all those movies. How long did you dress up for Halloween? Until what age? Mike, I did it for like a year and a half.
Starting point is 00:04:04 You're like, no. Fuck you. I just put on a hat. What? Trick-a-treat, bitch. I swear to get it. God, I'm not into that shit. I wasn't into dress up. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:04:13 People dressing up like fucking, what you call those people on the weekends? They dress up like Vikings and have fars and shit. Oh. And they stab each other with rubber swords. Really? Yeah. You know what they're going into that?
Starting point is 00:04:24 Oh, yeah, yeah. I can't. When I quit this career, that's why I'm going to into fighting people every fucking weekend with rubber swords and make them believe I'm in England. Speaking of what a fuck the backsets. You haven't been to Comic Con yet? Oh, yeah, yeah. I go every fucking year and walk around with them.
Starting point is 00:04:38 The fuck out. I got that guy with Comic-Con. I got shit to do on people to see. I'm going to go down there and take a picture with the Partridge family. That's what I want to fucking do. What's up with you, Tarzan? I'm feeling pretty high. I know you are.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I'm doing good. You scared me. How was your day today, my son? It was good. What did you do? Do some push-ups? I did. Well, I went to the gym. I didn't do push-ups.
Starting point is 00:05:00 You stayed even extra longer, right? Like an hour and a half, you said. Hour 15. Look at you. Because I always kill it when we have the munchies. What movies did you watch today? Today I'm watching Dark Night, the one with Heath Ledger. Just something's mindless.
Starting point is 00:05:15 It's a good movie. Okay. No music for you on the treadmill, huh? My mind goes off, and then I focus too much on the time. With the music. But with the movie, you're down. With the movie, I just get distracted. It's amazing how much I'm starting to dislike my gym,
Starting point is 00:05:30 just because of the people who go there. Every day there's at least three or four people with scripts on the elliptical with them, and then today this dude behind me on the treadmill turned it up to a speed that no one can ever run at it was like he was trying to run like a superhero
Starting point is 00:05:49 but he was banging each time with his feet so the entire upstairs would have to notice him and it bugged me he did it for like 20 minutes and I just I've never liked that kind of
Starting point is 00:06:02 trying to get attention now you know I don't go to those fucking gyms especially at the gym now you know why I keep it simple at the YMCA. Now you know. And the YMCA in Hollywood was a good gym, but they had their fucking moments too. Don't get confused. Great gym, great staff.
Starting point is 00:06:16 You know, they opened up at 5 in the fucking morning. You go in there 10 to 5. You jump in the fucking heated pool, and then you go into steam for a little one, you go in the sauna, you take a little schitz. Very nice. But every once in a while, they'd be an asshole that would come in naked and lay towels everywhere and just spread out, like this was his
Starting point is 00:06:33 fucking living room. And you had to sit there Like, you know, like, fucking, you got a cold in the corner. You're like, fuck you. You know, you got to pick up your towel, guy. There's other people that, you know, it was kind of rude. But for the most part, 70% of the time, it was a great gym. I don't want to be a part of a gym where I got to dress up and see chicks with mascara on and dress.
Starting point is 00:06:53 That's crazy. How many... And fucking tight, like, their suits are fucking proportion. Their socks are on perfect. They're sneakers. They're not, and they go to... The women at those gyms pissed me to fuck off because, they go to the gym, and if they go in a pair, they do 20 minutes, and they leave.
Starting point is 00:07:09 It is the fucking most pathetic thing in their life. Then they go get a coffee, and it's like they did this fucking thing, and they didn't do shit. They do curls, they look around, they walk around. It's a fucking nightmare. There's a lot of guys who would... I saw a guy who would do spurts of 10 seconds on the elliptical. Get up. He would go wipe his whole body down and blow his nose, and then he would look out
Starting point is 00:07:29 because it overlooks the weight room, and then he would take... He had a, it always, I love junk food, but I would never bring junk food to the gym. The other day there was a guy with a packet of hostess donuts, those powdered donuts, and a soda from 7-Eleven, just eating it at the gym. And what was he doing? Was that an elliptical? No, he was just sitting down in front of the ellipticals, just chilling. This gym is amazing.
Starting point is 00:07:55 It's hysterical to watch. And then even the people who work there aren't that cool. They're cool when they're taking my money. Like when I signed up, they were all very friendly and very nice. But now I go in and ask for a towel, and I'm lucky if I even get one or get an answer. Really? Yeah. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I don't know if it's because I'm chubby or because I'm not a hot girl or something, but they're not very custom-oriented there. I think maybe they just don't like being at the front desk. Maybe it's a shitty place to work. Well, that's a fucking job you took. You got to like you got to enjoy some type of customer service and giving somebody a fucking towel, you know? Yeah. Like I said, years ago, Christy Miller, a dear comic friend of mine, gave me a free year when I was 400 pounds, and I couldn't even breathe that.
Starting point is 00:08:42 And she gave me a membership to Gold's gym on Gower. It's predominantly a gay gym. It's that one and the one on Santa Monica, where they say. It was free. It was open to 11. If I didn't have a spot, I'd go in there at 9, and I try to do shit for a half hour, lift weights. And I'll tell you what, they were very nice. I always had a great time in there.
Starting point is 00:09:01 The guys were gay, but didn't bother me at all. It was supposed to be a douchebag gym, but it really wasn't. When 24-hour fitness opened, I thought about it because the pool is heated. Is it? And I guess the pool is open 24 hours. She'd go at night. I thought about it. And then I caught myself when I said, I don't like those type of places.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I know I'm not going to like it. Even if, like, one person listens to the podcast, and they're nice to me, and they tell the rest of the same. to have, hey, he's on a great podcast, or he goes on a Joe Rogan podcast, it still wouldn't. I just knew I didn't know. I don't want to see girls dressing up. When I go to the Y,
Starting point is 00:09:39 sometimes I ask myself, why the fuck I'm there. I see some crazy fucking people at the Y. What do they do? I just see crazy fucking people at the Y'I. Like, there's a Hindu couple. He's got to be 70 and she's got to be fucking like 65. And they're the cutest thing you ever seen your life. And they come in
Starting point is 00:09:55 and she gets on the treadmill and she walks and he gets on the bicycle and he rides the bicycle for like eight minutes then he gets up he lifts weights for like three minutes then he punches the bag for two minutes and he comes and he yells at her they grab each other's hands and they fucking go it's very cute
Starting point is 00:10:13 I see a lot of Spanish people that are trying to lose weight that kids are all fucking fat those little fat fucking Mexican kids and the daughters I see a whole family in the treadmill and they're you know the whole family's in there It's a family place. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:28 But even when I was single and I was just dating Terry, I went to the Y. Because I just didn't want to feel like, I don't want to pay $150 a month to go fucking to a gym where pretty people go and they make smoothies at the bar and coffee. It's not a fucking gym, man. Right. I heard that Planet Fitness, I think, has pizza and donut days at the gym. Have you heard about that? That's crazy. You know, I want a gym that has a great selection.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Yeah. Like the Y doesn't have kettlebells. I got to go out to my car and get the kettlebells and go out of North Hollywood Park, you know? But the Y has fucking machines, and they have the treadmill, and they got the fucking bag, and they got a couple of Olympic bars
Starting point is 00:11:10 and some benches, and that's all I need. I'm 50 years old. I don't need to fucking jump off buildings and shit. You know? And I'm happy that you went to 24-hour fitness. I'm happy that you continue to go. But you see it for what it is after a while.
Starting point is 00:11:23 I just don't believe that they treat you like that. You have to be cool. You have to be cool or be a producer. That gym, when you told me that the guy from Sonsa Anarchy went there, who then, it's got to have some type of, you know, if one guy goes there, Chris Brown plays basketball there. You know, at the Y where I used to go to, they played basketball upstairs on Wednesdays and Fridays or something.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And I saw a flea there. I saw Denzel Washington there upstairs. But I never went upstairs to shoot a fucking hoop. You know, I just saw them. But this Hollywood Why, where I go, it shocks me. Like I said, it just fucking shocks me sometimes. I can't believe I'm in there.
Starting point is 00:12:03 A lot of old people. Nobody's hot. There's very seldom a chick. And I think I've seen chicks that have gone, like, the first week, and get dressed up, and there's nothing in there for them, but I never see them in there again. Really? Yeah, it's one of those fucking things.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I mean, I'm not complaining when the girls dress up there. I mean, those yoga pants are amazing. Oh, sure they are. You want to fucking fall on the treadmill, I want to fall on your face and say you're filthy motherfucker. Interesting week, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:31 I went to Jiu-Jitsu tell you. You got another strike from Higin Machado. Oh, cool. I'm so bad at Jiu-Jitsu. I really suck so bad at Jiu-Jitsu. So what strip are you now? I got two stripes. In May, I'll be doing J-Jitsu for two straps.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I won't get a purple belt or blue belt for fucking six years at this pace. You understand me? But I don't give a fuck. I just go in there, dog, to get beat up. I got beat up so bad, but my breathing was, a lot better. That's good. So tomorrow I'm going to go to the other gym and I'm going to get
Starting point is 00:12:58 beat up again at the other place, but it doesn't matter. No, I mean, you've been doing it for two years, right? Close to two years? May will be two years. That's amazing, dude. You know, how it takes four months off on my knee and I broke two toes, but I still suck. I don't really have the time to go four times a week right now. If I could go four times a week, I'd get really good, really fast, you know, but I just don't. I don't think I could recover that much. four days of jih Tzu. But have you seen it improve other parts of your life? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I've done a lot of... Every time I go to Jiu-Jitsu when I walk out, I feel really good about myself because it's the hardest thing I'll do. I've said it a thousand times. So it changes my day. And I'll tell you what. Let's say I have Jiu-Jitsu.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I have an opportunity to go to Jiu-Jitsu. And I can't go because I have an audition. I don't feel bad. But if I don't go because I don't go, I feel bad. Like, if I have an opportunity, you go and I don't go. I'm like, ah, I don't feel like going to I feel bad about myself. But as soon as I go to Jiu-Jitsu and I walk out of there,
Starting point is 00:14:03 I'm a different person. I'm a different person on stage. I'm a different animal when I'm writing. I'm a different animal towards my wife, towards the baby. I can feel it. It just calms me down a little bit. I enjoy it. Even though I'm not good at it. It's amazing. I enjoy. I enjoy just getting thrown on my back and trying to get out of the fucking situation and thinking. And you know, if you run out of breath, you just tap out. And that's it. That's it. You know, I learned these little exercises so I don't have anxiety no more, and I panic. Because if you have fear, fear is in your breath, and you control the fear through your breath.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Okay. So there's these exercises I do now, and it's helped me fucking dramatically, man. Yeah, I mean, just the fact of sticking with it. It's all about showing up. You know, I see it, I see it in comedy. I see it in people's actions, you know. People start things, and then they just fall off to the side. And even if you can't go eight times a week, you know, you do it one time.
Starting point is 00:15:02 That's what I tell you all the time. When I cry, I go, you do a push-up today? I always do a push-up every fucking morning at one point. I can't do a push-up, but I try to do two, three, four. And eventually I can get up to fucking 20 again, you know, at 300 pounds. You lose a fucking hundred pounds. You're fucking tremendous. You can do 2,000 push-ups.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It all starts with one and just keep showing up, man. I see it with fucking comedy. I see how it affected. You know, I got a weird way of thinking when it comes to comedy. And I don't share my views. People always say, well, don't you tutor people in comedy? Why don't you? Because I have to have a talk with them before I would meet them.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Like I would have to have that talk that Carter, Andre Carter's father said to him, are you sure? Are you sure? Because this is what's expected of you when you make to jump into comedy. And if you don't jump into it that way, it's not going to pan out for you. It might take you a little longer.
Starting point is 00:15:55 You might get to the process, but this is how it needs to be attacked. And a lot of people, when I talk to them about that type of stuff, they look at me fucking weird. Like, did you take any days off? Don't you have a social life? It depends on what you want. You got to look at your social life and go,
Starting point is 00:16:13 huh, what times the party from? Oh, until three. Lee, I'm going to go do a spot first. Yeah, but they cut the cake at 915. That's great. I'm 50 years old. Who gives a fuck about your cake? You know, I got to go do a spot first.
Starting point is 00:16:25 And then you make deals with yourself, you know. But sometimes, for me, the spot overruled everything. It overruled everything. No matter what you had going on or somebody else going on or what I wanted to do, if I had a way to do stand-up comedy that night, it was going to overrule all this shit I had fucking going on that somebody else had going on.
Starting point is 00:16:51 A lot of people used to get fucking pissed off at me. do. They still do. You know? Eddie Bravo did two tournaments. I didn't show up to either one of them. You know how bad I feel? So now I didn't book that week. I'm definitely going to EBI. It's March 22nd, I think. Oh, in downtown, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yeah, so I'm going to stay in town for that. But it's, uh, we talk about it a lot about people's work ethics and it's not just in LA, but it's even, I still struggle with it more than I did even a year ago. But it's hard because you think you're supposed to do all these things
Starting point is 00:17:27 like you have the we say Friday night is dick night but if you had a gig or or if there's a podcast you'd have to work it's not most people think they need Fridays and Saturday is off it's still dick night it's still dick night it's always dick night it's always dick night on Friday night when you get home you just get
Starting point is 00:17:42 mama stabbing right but growing up I don't know I always felt that you there was this pressure on you that you had to go out on Friday and Saturday nights. Right. And in high school, I took that away. I used to just not go out on a Friday night,
Starting point is 00:17:58 just to see how it would feel. Just to see what, and it was like, I would wake up to the next morning and make a call and see what I missed. And I would get the report, oh, you miss this guy, he threw a bottle at this guy, we went to this bar,
Starting point is 00:18:11 we went to this place, and ate. And you know what? But I realized, I didn't miss a fucking thing. Right. When you're young and you're trying to budget, you can't go out seven nights a week sometimes. So I would go out three.
Starting point is 00:18:22 When I went out, I did Coke. There was pills. There was cars. There was clubs. It wasn't, you know, $10 to go out. Right. You dropped $200, you know, in those days. Now you drop $4,500.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I'm just saying, $200 for a kid when you're just in the street. You do that three nights a week. That's $600 fucking. That's $2,400 a month and just going out. I was doing that, you know. But still, I was still budgeting, like going, well, I'll go out on Sunday and get fucked up. I'll go out on Thursday and get fucked up.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Maybe Saturday get fucked up, you know, so I was always... And people think they're entitled to it. Like if you told somebody, oh, you have to work Friday night. A lot of people say, oh, I have to go out Friday night. What made me think about it was it's snowing so much in Boston right now that the college I went to had to cancel all classes. And they're scheduling remake classes on the weekends for a little bit just to catch up. And some kids are signing a petition not to do classes on weekends.
Starting point is 00:19:19 and I'm just like And when I was in college I probably would have thought the same way But just looking at it now I've had to work so many weekends Like it really doesn't Like just because you don't want to take a class Because you usually go out Saturday night
Starting point is 00:19:33 It doesn't mean anything I had a show you know I think if I wouldn't have lost my parents I think that I would have watched more sports on Sunday But because I lost my mom And I had a different mindset And sometimes I had a sacrifice That's one of the sacrifices, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:51 To some people, I don't put it down. I just don't understand it, but they don't understand my way of life. So that's what makes life interesting. I don't understand how, if you have an opportunity to make money on a Friday night, doing something that you love. That's the other thing we got to discuss, doing something that you enjoy doing. Let's say you had to work. Let's say your boss came to and he goes, you got to work Friday and Saturday.
Starting point is 00:20:16 And you said, fuck it. How about I just work Saturday? And Friday night I'll work. You know, whatever, pick one. That I can see when you're 20, 22. That's all right. You know, when you're fucking 20, your friends are out and here,
Starting point is 00:20:26 you are working on a fast food, fuck the restaurant have to pay. You know, your parents will pay for tuition, but you've got to pay for room and whatever fuck. Your food and your books and your meals. They make you a pretty good deal. You got to come up with 300, so you get a job at Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:20:40 You make 600, you have 300 for you to party with and 300 for you to pay for you, you know, to justify your fucking existence. Right, yeah. A lot of those jobs, when you're in college a Friday, fucking Saturday night. You're either bartending,
Starting point is 00:20:51 you're working a fucking door. So you sacrificed that already. I wouldn't. When I was in high school, when I quit high school, that September, those, that August for like two months, I had a job that you worked Friday nights.
Starting point is 00:21:06 And when they told me what I was going to make and what the job was and the benefits, I didn't even think about it. I still got out at like 10 o'clock if I wanted. I still had the whole fucking night. But some people, wow, how the fucking you do it?
Starting point is 00:21:17 My friend Glenn, who is still at UPS, he fucking gave up Fridays and Saturdays in high school, Friday nights, because he had that job 11 to 2. Oh, okay. Where you go on at 11 o'clock and you load trucks to fucking 2.30 a.m. Do that when you're in high school and that eliminates that whole fucking lifestyle. But he had to do it for a reason. There was a need. There was a need for that money, you know, so. I don't know. People, you could say it's a Jew thing, but I've had a job since I was 15 and I can't.
Starting point is 00:21:47 can't tell you how many fourth of julys I worked how many holidays, how many my birthdays so it's just, it's a... Just another fucking day guy. Right. And I understand. I understand. I sympathize. Some people like to party. Some people like to jump up and down and fucking giggle and go out and whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I liked all that shit too. But it's between fucking eating and, you know, what are you going to do? Wootch off your fucking friends. Right. You have to make some sort of a living. You have to do something, you know, whatever it may be. I just eliminated Fridays and Saturdays from my life. And at this point, now I'm a stand-up.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I work on Fridays and Saturdays. Last week it was pissing me off. What? Because everybody kept coming and going, so you're not going to watch the fight? Like, it was the end of the world. You know what, man? Sometimes, again, if it's between a fight and me doing comedy, I fucking do comedy.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I don't give a fuck if it's a $15 spot while I'm working a weekend of one of my favorite fucking clubs. If they call me from the comedy store on a Saturday, And they go, hey, you have a spot at 1045. And that's when the fight starts. So be it. I'm one of those guys. And I've always been like that, again, because there was a need.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Right. I was either a junkie, I needed the money. You know, you can't focus on it. I love sports. I grew up on sports. I don't ever want anybody to think that I'm misinterpreting myself when I say I only watch two players in the Super Bowl. I mean, you know, when I was a kid, somebody told me,
Starting point is 00:23:12 you gamble basketball, yeah, just watch the last two minutes. That's all that matters. if you gamble basketball because it's all the way until the end. You never know if a guy just gets foul. And he makes three free throws. It doesn't affect the game. It affects the point spread. You get killed up the ass.
Starting point is 00:23:30 You know, they win by seven instead of ten. And you got a seven and a half. You get caught by that fucking hook in basketball. Yeah, that sucks. They're always great. I heard they only made like three and a half million on the Super Bowl. Who did? The Vegas casinos.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Is that what you're heard? Yeah. Good. You bought that fucking line? All these junkies, three and a half million. They made money. That's the biggest day of the year. What about the illicit fucking...
Starting point is 00:23:55 See, listen, listen, let's say, let's pretend you're... I don't know. I don't know. Some fucking rich celebrity, right? Who's the public guy? Okay. You're a gambling fucking degenerate.
Starting point is 00:24:08 You got two options. All right. You could get your best high school friend who's also probably degenerate from high school that you grew up with. and you get him to put bets on fee in Vegas. It doesn't take two and two together when you're a fucking moron and you're driving the Mercedes into Vegas
Starting point is 00:24:27 and laying 75,000 that this is not for you. Right. People are going to say, oh, he's doing it for Joey Diaz or he's doing it for Joe Rogan, he's doing it for Ria, Duncan, what the fuck it is? So after a while, when you're a gambling junkie, what the fuck do you do? So you have other outlets,
Starting point is 00:24:43 and you have these big-time bookies that are across the country that are banks. they'll take $40,000 from me. They still exist? Yeah, they fucking still exist. Wait, did they go away? I thought it would have just all gone to websites now.
Starting point is 00:24:54 No, no, no, no, fuck those ways. Would you trust somebody with $50,000 on a fucking website? I don't know if I trust a bookie. A book? Listen, if you got a bookie, if you come to me and you go, listen, Joey, I like to fucking gamble, but I want to bet $10,000 a game. I don't want no fucking drama. I want to make sure I'm paid every week.
Starting point is 00:25:12 I'll make a few phone calls, and I'll find a specific bookie that'll take. 10,000 again. You probably have to wire him the money the first 10 times to put the game to build trust. So before you build the game, you got to wire them 10 G's, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:26 but that's, they're out there. They'll take 10,000. You know, who the fuck are they? If you came to me right now and said, I want to put 10,000, how do you know? How do I know you're fucking good for it? Right. So I come with a reputation. You want to bet 10,000? You also want it to be discreet. You're Brad Pitt.
Starting point is 00:25:45 You don't ever want me to fucking say nothing you know so you're also looking for somebody who's very discreet you're looking for all these things like so the other way to do is to bet with books in ohio cleveland you know uh cleveland ohio youngstown you know maybe you know big bank in fucking miami a big bank in louisiana they got a couple big banks in louisiana and you can call them up and say i need i'm putting 250 000 down i don't want nobody to fucking know this shit wow I didn't even know that world still existed. Wait, you're going to go to, if, let's say you got a fucking wife and you got kids.
Starting point is 00:26:23 You think you're going to call Vegas and put $250,000 down and gets taxed. Everybody knows your fucking business. You know, what do you think? I don't know. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, if you don't, if you want to be discreet. How do you, I mean, maybe it's just because I was never in that at all, but even with, like, drug dealers now with bookies, how did you know, I would never know where to go to start to find one. You go to a bookie. And I say a bookie goes, I can't take that type of action.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah, but they don't have a sign above a window. But they know they're a bookie. They know somebody who does take that action. Okay. If I want to find a bookie, it takes me 10 minutes right now. Really? 10 minutes. I just got on the phone and make three calls.
Starting point is 00:27:02 In an hour, somebody will call me back. And then we'll take it from there. Then I call them up and I go, all right, what do you want to take an action? Well, I don't really know you. Where do you live? I live in North Hollywood. Okay, I'll meet you before the games and give you a thousand a game. About six or seven times I bet.
Starting point is 00:27:16 We start betting everything's cool. After that I call him up and I go, listen, I want to bet $2,500 a game. Let me call my guy, see if he'll take that from me. He calls this guy, no worries, boom. We go back for a few months. I call him up on then. I go, listen, why are we fucking around? I want to put 20 Gs on this fucking game.
Starting point is 00:27:33 He's on telling me he's not taking it, and this guy's not going to take it. But they know a guy. And for 10% or 5%, they'll call the bet it. So, I mean, I, is it the same, like, lines? Remember, for me to take a $10,000 bet, I got to have $10,000 on the other side to create a utopia. Right. I'm just not going to take a $10,000 bet from you just to take it from you.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I got to have a $10,000 bet on the other side, so if whatever happens, I get the vague. Okay. That's how I make my money. I get the vague. So when you put a $10,000 bet, if you lose, you're paying me $11,000. I'm paying Tom Segura $10,000. I'm keeping that $1,000 off the time.
Starting point is 00:28:21 That's how a booking makes a living. He's not just going to take your $10,000 bet without a backing over here. Oh, okay. Okay, so he takes $10,000 from you. I got to make sure I got $10 on the other side. I don't lose. So let's say at the end of the night, I got $38,000 for New England, and I got $31.
Starting point is 00:28:45 for Seattle. I'm a cocky guy. I'll keep 33, and I'll call five into a buddy of mine in Miami. Oh, okay. All right, let's do it. What's up, my brother? How you doing?
Starting point is 00:29:01 You know me, dog, over here fucking schooling Lee on the lessons of bookmaking, explaining a utopia to him. I was explaining to him, like if you want to call, like if you called me, George, and said, Joey, I know you're a long time. I really like George St. Pierre.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I want to put 10 Gs on him. I would say, well, go to the sports book. You know, Joey, I work right there. I don't want people to know my business. You know, okay. I call a guy, right, and he'll say, yeah, he'll take the bet. That guy just doesn't take the bet, George. He has to have somebody else on the other side betting $10,000 on Seattle.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Because no matter what happens, if Lee loses the 10, he gives me the 10, I pass it right to you. Lee's given me $1,100. He's given me $11,000. Exactly. So, that 10% is called the vigor. The Vig. So that Vig is how I make my living. The Vookie tries to get even action on both sides.
Starting point is 00:29:55 That way he can always take home the Vigor. So I'm glad it's not always going to work that way. Sometimes it's just going to be heavy on one side. And, of course, they cross the fingers and hope that that side loses. But for the most part, a perfect day for the Bookie is a million on the Patriots and a million on the Seahawks. They'll keep their hundred thousand and then knock off all those farlaids and pieces and all their mother exotic pets.
Starting point is 00:30:16 How long the star single banner is going to go? You know, is it going to be heads or tails? You know, if Tom Brady going to bang three chicks or four chicks after the game? That kind of stuff. That's what they clean up on. What's up, my brother, George? One much, man.
Starting point is 00:30:33 One of the most interesting weeks in M.A. One of the most interesting weeks in M.A. And one of the most saddest weeks in MMA, as far as I'm concerned. A couple of weeks. As soon as I read that yesterday, I called you because I didn't know what the fuck to think. You know, both of them, both of them fail a fucking drug test. I mean... And then John Jones a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:30:58 But as far as this, both of these motherfuckers failed a drug test. I could see one guy or, you know, but the guys are the fighting each other. This is, uh, it's like a fucking black eye, you know? But is the Nick Diaz one, really? who didn't expect Nick Diaz to test positive for that? You know, what do you think, George? I expected it.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I expected it. I mean, I didn't know. I shouldn't do that. You know what? Honestly, I have so many interesting characters and 50 shows nowadays for a year, just in the UFC alone. We cover Bell for World Series.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I forget about shit. All right? So, had you reminded me, hey, Nick Diaz, he, you know, those have smoked weed. You think he'll pop, I would have said, probably, you know, with a smirk.
Starting point is 00:31:41 But honestly, fuck us all great fire. on Saturday that I enjoyed, that I hated. Oh, I had mixed emotions about it, you know. It was just great, happy to see both guys back in the octagon after such a long time. At the end of the fight, I just thought, wow, I didn't expect that. I honestly thought that it was too big, fast and strong for Nick Diaz, regardless of the layoffs. Nick Diaz, he was a gamer, man.
Starting point is 00:32:02 He went out and he fought. He got an answer to space. And so at the end of the fight, I thought, okay, cool. You know, I wasn't expecting any of that. completely blindsided by the Anderson Silva positive test. And Nick Diaz, once I heard it, I thought, well, shit, what was I thinking? Of course, he kind of always does that. His third time in Nevada, where's the shocker there?
Starting point is 00:32:22 But Anderson Silva, that took the wind out of me. I just don't. And it's funny because I called Ed Suarez early in the day just to talk to him. Just to say hello out of the blue that morning. I got up and I go, you know, I haven't talked to Ed Sinister. since the fight. I meant to call him before the fight. And I left the message.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I don't want them to think that I was calling them to ask him stupid fucking questions now. Now I feel bad. But I never expected. And listen, you got to do what you got to do. It's a tough sport to train for. It's five, six days, three or four different disciplines,
Starting point is 00:32:58 strength and conditioning. You know, who knows what goes on. I don't know how to break down. What gets you stronger? I don't know. You know, my heart goes out to him. My heart goes out to Nick Diaz. He is, in my opinion, this is not the pot call in the kettle black.
Starting point is 00:33:17 He's fucking crazy. He's just fucking crazy. Like, we are definitely related. Somewhere along the line, our bloodlines are definitely deaf. How old is he right now? I'd put him around 32. That's what I was at 32. He's 31. He turns 32 and August.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Are you fucking kidding me? They give him that lunatic a half a million dollars a fight. His rent is $800 a month. He has a bicycle. You know, he doesn't go out. He doesn't really... I don't think he drinks. He smokes pot and he throws those fucking new chucks around.
Starting point is 00:33:53 And he goes to Jiu-Jitsu and he swims and he runs. How much weed will $500,000 last him for? They give him pounds of weed at that fucking store up there in Stockton. They give it to him. Yeah, somehow he doesn't manage the money right because he's always complaining about being broke. Either that or he's telling him. I know he has a strict diet, but when he goes out, everything's organic and, you know, that thing can add up a little bit here and there, but still, you're right, man.
Starting point is 00:34:21 That's 500K. Fuzzles and borsments, you know, it's going to last them a long time. Well, this time it's going to have to last him a long time because this is his third offense. So the first one's about nine months, and then after that, they, you know, they listen to what you got to say and go from there. But, man, um, I don't know what the,
Starting point is 00:34:43 I don't know what the UFC's going to do. And you've got to start cleaning things up. And they're going to have to make examples out of someone. And who knows, man, maybe it'll be this cat. This cat's so thicket. So he has those so picket. He's a character. He comes to fight.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I don't know. I, I, I, I, I, the speculating would be foolish on my part, because I know I'm going to be way off. And I'm in the industry, and I'm ashamed to almost say that. But honestly, I can't fucking figure out. Nufa, which resides about five miles away from our studio here in Las Vegas. Can't forget them guys out.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I can't forget the athletes in our sport out. It's a confusing time to cover the sport and to be an A fan, which I still am there. I may cover the sport and talk to these fighters every day, but I'm a fan. And as a fan right now, I'm just a little sad and disappointed. But you know what? This is an ongoing soap opera. I would call it General Hospital. it's not going to end.
Starting point is 00:35:36 The sports can be around for a long time. It's just General Hospital. Luke and Moore, fucking 30 years ago, doing whatever. You know, and tomorrow will be some more controversies and we're all going to forget about this. The happiest guy on earth has to be John Jones, the pressure's off of him. Well, you know, I hope John Jones recovers.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I hope all that goes well. This, to me, is just, I mean, they had a disaster year last year with injuries, and it opened up the fucking, year. They just lost three more fucking guys. They just lost Wydenman. They lost Anderson Silva off the roster. They lost Nick Diaz. You know, Jacqueray got hurt. Yoel Romero got hurt, which, like I told you the other day, in my opinion, was the best
Starting point is 00:36:20 of the fucking year. And it was the best fight of that fucking car in LA, to be honest with you. You know, the bad luck continues for the UFC. Right immediately, last night I sat there at one point, I wrote UFC, you know. You know, karma, whatever the fuck I wrote on Twitter. And I saw a couple fighters retweet it and a couple of MMA people retweet it. And I could just imagine, you know, I'm going to get that call from somebody. But in my world, it's like the UFC was fun. The UFC was fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:36:53 There was something about it. And all of a sudden it became something else too quickly. And I think they're moving a little too quick, you know. I don't know what it is. I have nothing, nothing, nothing against Connor McGregor. But I don't like how this whole situation has been handled. To get the truth out there, that's the truth. I'm not going to lie to anybody.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I don't like how this situation has been handled. In what way? From A to Z. I just do not like it. I see what it is. I see what it is. And it breaks my fucking heart. That's it.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Well, can you expand on that a little bit, though? What do you mean? Like, they, you don't like the way he has opened his mouth and gotten opportunities as opposed to other people that he still maybe have to get to the position, I think this whole thing started with Chale Center. I think this whole thing started with Chale Center. I think that when he was talking stuff about Anderson Silver
Starting point is 00:37:58 and going a little deeper than what should have been and calling the O'Gera brothers' names and stuff like that. I think right there Dana White should have stopped that. It became something else to me. And this is a guy that I love and respect, but he was talking too much. He wasn't really covering the spread. He was not covering the fucking spread as a UFC fighter.
Starting point is 00:38:20 He was talking, he was selling tickets, but it was like a fad diet. And then look what happened. Boom. He fucking tests for PEDs again, you know, and he's gone. and he created this whole fucking bad taste in the mouth. So now you get this fucking bad taste in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:38:38 And now you have Connor McGregor, who's a great fighter, he's exciting, he's got Ireland behind him, he fills stadiums. You know what? There's not a person in the fucking world that if I took him in a room and quizzed him, said they wanted to see him against Dennis Eva. You've been saying that for a while. They pissed me off. The fight that I wanted to see right then,
Starting point is 00:39:01 there was only one fight he gets the winner of cubs watson frank yeager and the winner of that fight got hosea aldo that's me as a fan that's me as a fan that was the right move right there when they put them out okay dennis seaver's tough and he destroyed denisiever in a in a tremendous fashion and all this shit i still have a bad taste in my mouth and i know kana mcgreg is working on his jiu-jitsu. I know that he's doing a tournament in April. And it's like they're buying the kid time. And I get
Starting point is 00:39:37 it, I get it. But I look at the gates, and I look at the pay-per-views, and they just raised the price on the pay-per-views. So you're holding out on one thing, even though you're making money. You're making money across the board. But if this kid wins this fight, you're fighting in an arena.
Starting point is 00:39:53 So this whole thing has been sold because this kid's fighting an arena. I don't like the pictures of him drinking out of a fucking coconut. I don't like him talking about how he's not even in the fighter hotel. He's across the street in the Fatita Suite. I didn't like that. They're all fighters. What is Frankie Edgar feel like at home when he sees that? And he hears that. What does GSP feel like? They made millions for the organization. They're walking around the fucking MGM in the morning and so is fucking Frankie Edgar. You know, this kid's at the Fatrini Suite and making the fighters feel bad about it.
Starting point is 00:40:29 interview with Chad Mendez when he told him he was going to have his ball sack on his face. It's just becoming something else. And if for some people... It's too much to pro wrestling. I don't know. Like the storylines or outcomes or... Well, not the storyline. It's not the storyline.
Starting point is 00:40:47 There's nothing fake about getting need to the fucking head and getting body slammed and getting an arm barred and shit. I just don't like the path that taken. That was it. That's my whole fight right there. I wanted to see Frankie Edgar against Connor McGregor. That's it. I didn't like when Connor McGregor jumped the fence and went after him.
Starting point is 00:41:08 And Dana's bodyguard was right there waiting for him. You know, and he held him. I just didn't like all this. It's going, it's disrespectful all over again. It's what we learned with Chayor's son and all over again. I'm not saying that this kid's going to get popped for steroids. I'm not saying these things. Again, I'm not saying nothing negative about Connor McGregor.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I'm just letting you guys see the situation that I see. So let me ask you something here. Going back to Anderson, so you guys think he's done? I didn't see the whole fight. I'm not going to lie to you. But the mood I got from people was that he was done or that's it. We want him to go out like this. That's it.
Starting point is 00:41:54 You prove your point, your leg healed. Come back. Beat somebody. Get a payday. Say goodbye. No, go back to Brazil, spend your fucking McDonald's money.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Open up a school, do lectures, whatever the fuck you want to do. But to go out this way, when they were going to see him again? They're going to suspend them for six and nine months. He's pretty much done. You know,
Starting point is 00:42:19 I was 50-50. I thought before I heard about the, you know, the PEDs, I thought, okay, you know, maybe he's going to go off out of here,
Starting point is 00:42:29 and blaze a door where he's talking about his family and walk him home but right here he's going to get an automatic nine months
Starting point is 00:42:36 he's already pushing 40 and you know even though he's come out and put out a statement and he says
Starting point is 00:42:42 he's never put anything illegal into his body it's I mean come on man they don't they don't they don't
Starting point is 00:42:50 unless these tests up I mean they have before but fuck that man no way I just it's going to be tough for him
Starting point is 00:42:57 to prove his innocence Well, you know, I don't know. He's saying that they may have tampered with it or, you know, the procedures. It's going to find loopholes in the procedures of the past. The Chelle Sunner did an interview day. He said, man, if he did, it just come clean. You know, I've seen this with Bobby Bond, excuse me, Barry Bond, Roger Clemens, Lance Armstrong.
Starting point is 00:43:21 You know, I don't know, man. It sucks. You made a mistake if how I look at it. Now the question is, do I go back and, you know, And do I believe that he did this the whole time? Because at 32 years old is when he got into the UFC, a lot of guys are on their way out at 32. And at 32, he gets into the UFC and starts lighting pools up.
Starting point is 00:43:42 So it wouldn't be that far-fetched to think that he could have done all this his career. But he passed every single time. So we've got to believe that he didn't. And in this instance, he did, and maybe with trauma coming off the broken leg. He needed something to recover. He was fucking with him mentally, who knows? he slipped up, but I guess that's the next thing we're going to have to
Starting point is 00:44:02 try to figure out and see how forthcoming is. The thing I don't understand is is the argument against using steroids, especially in fighting, is that it would give them an unfair advantage and they'd be able to beat people up more than just a normal person would. But then
Starting point is 00:44:20 we don't hear about this until after the fight already happened. So the danger would have already happened. Why don't the results come out before the fight? Yeah, a million dollar question right there. Well, both for him and John Jones. There's no way that had they known that they stop the fight from happening because it's too much money that's a stake.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Oh, they're even pulling the finger saying that the commission may have known, and of course the commission makes you some payday out of it as well. But, you know, I'll tell you well, man, we've got some good reporters in the sport, especially at the Army junkie, and they're going to try and figure that out and see what happened there. because January 9th you test and then you don't get the results
Starting point is 00:45:03 for three weeks later. What's the point of the random test? You know, you're supposed to pop these guys that they don't go out there and perform, you know, enhanced. And that's exactly what didn't happen on Saturday night. Well, he's good.
Starting point is 00:45:17 The whole thing with Nick Diaz, again, not shocked one bit. That pot that he may have smoked three weeks ago or whatever did nothing to enhance his performance. That's the most ridiculous thing out there. Hopefully they changed that going board. But the thing with Anderson Silva,
Starting point is 00:45:33 that I was botched, man. They need to get those results a lot quicker than they have. Well, let's not understand, George. Honestly, if you really want to clean up the sport, start the random testing right now. Pick 100 of your athletes out of the 500, you know, that roster of 500 that they have. Pick 100 names and get them all tested within the next week.
Starting point is 00:45:55 And let's just see how dirty that organization is as a whole. Send the message. to everyone that's training, you know, and it's going to cost you some money, but you know what? Put the pedal to the medal and do that for the next six months, a year, two years,
Starting point is 00:46:09 do what you got to do, but you will not tolerate any type of cheating out there, you know, because it's terrible, guys. Black cloud over the sport. That is what I understand. In 1987, I got arrested, and I got in trouble.
Starting point is 00:46:24 In 1988, I got locked up. I went to prison, and when I came out 89, I was in a halfway house. If you pissed on a Monday in 1990 at a halfway house who has state funds, which has no money, I would always look at the boxes when they tested me and that's how I knew. So let's say I had six tests a month. They would test me for four of them or just for cocaine, but for six, for two of the four,
Starting point is 00:46:55 for two of the six. So four of them will be for cocaine. And two of them would be for everything. Like when I went to court with my ex-wife, my ex-wife was pissed because she kept saying I was smoking dope, right? Even though she was stealing dope from me when she dropped the kid off. Here's the beauty of it. She paid for urine test that I had a take.
Starting point is 00:47:23 My attorney talked to company and just testing me for blow, not for T.HC. So the whole time they would get the report, and they would say I was clean for blow and other things, but they weren't testing me for T-8C. My point is, the tests were coming back in two fucking days. I was going to ask you. Why are these fucking tests coming back three weeks later? The UFC has money.
Starting point is 00:47:46 These people have tests. When you get a job in Vegas, they pull a strand of hair out of your head, and they tell you everything you fucking did, every dick you suck, every pussy with a yeast infection you sucked to the last year. Did you know that, George? You do know that. You got a job as a fucking valet at the MGM Grand. Right there, what?
Starting point is 00:48:05 Before you could say, I'll be back. They go, hold on, bang! They take a fucking hair strand right out of your hair, and they come back and they go, on November 28, you had 16 martinis, and you took three of your mother's sleeping pills. That's how good the fucking test are. That's how good the fucking test are.
Starting point is 00:48:21 All right, that's one thing. Number two, let's talk about John Jones. I love John Jones. I don't give a fuck what happened. I don't give a fuck about the blow. listen, he's 26 years old, all right? The same with Nick Diaz. They're 30 fucking one year.
Starting point is 00:48:33 You know what I was doing when I was 31? Do you have any fucking idea, George? No, I was fucking acting just like Nick Diaz. Even crazy. You know, here's this kid who, when did John Jones piss in a bottle? December 4th or something? Among the first time. December 4th?
Starting point is 00:48:50 December 4th. Whatever was, I'll time in on that other thing you were saying. So, Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz Because at random testing that they have, it's called a water testing. That one's blood. Okay, it's random. And they know that throughout the camp is probably a good chance they're going to come because you've been doing that for about a year now.
Starting point is 00:49:11 And that one's blood. That's the one where it has to go through a procedure. And then they go through, I think there's one of the agencies in Salt Lake City, the other one's in L.A. It takes a lot, man. It's got to be faster what it is, but that's what happened. The one they do after the fight where they found out about the marijuana metabolites, That one's your, that one they can get back, like you were saying, Julie,
Starting point is 00:49:30 particularly within 24, 48 hours. So that's why we got the result on Nick Diaz, by the way. But it's also explains why the John Jones one took about two, three weeks, and the Anderson-Sov one took about two, three weeks. The difference was with Anderson-Sovra, the commission stating that they didn't know until yesterday. With John Jones, they knew about a week before the fight. The difference was they weren't supposed to, tests for Coke.
Starting point is 00:50:00 And WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, says that cocaine, when it's out of competition, meaning, I guess, within 12 hours of the event, they shouldn't be testing for that. So it's kind of like
Starting point is 00:50:16 loophole stuff, you know, but it doesn't make any sense at all. That's why the U.S.C. was able to find them because it was a protoconduct policy thing, and that's why they had to come down on them. and they did find them, but that's why they couldn't stop the fight from happening because of a lot of competition,
Starting point is 00:50:31 and that's not against water regulations. But why did they let him fight that? He didn't do, he technically didn't do anything illegal. It didn't, but it didn't even come out. Like, why didn't it come out a week before the fucking fight? Like, I don't know. There's something there that's not right.
Starting point is 00:50:52 You and I both know that. I don't know about fucking water, I couldn't want to go down to Cornier and said, hey, look, this happened, you know, it's up to you whether you want to take the fight, but I believe, I think Darren Colmaine's already stated he would have taken the fight regardless. But that's basically what it is,
Starting point is 00:51:10 it was out of competition, therefore, let's say if they found the cocaine metabolites after the fight with the urine test, like the way they talk to the DS, and you'd probably have a no concept. But because it's happened out of competition, it was nothing they could do.
Starting point is 00:51:27 So what do you mean? So after the fucking way, I go back to my room and I snort fucking three lines of Coke. So the next night when I fight, after the fight I come up positive, and that means I did the cocaine in competition? Do you tell me 12 hours? It would be a no contest. And technically what you said would probably be out of competition
Starting point is 00:51:51 because they say 12 hours before the event. So that would be Saturday morning on a, you know, of a pay-per-view. you, I mean, yeah, that morning, if you did something within the 12 hours, then that's called in competition. But, like you said, after the land, it would still come up on the test. And if you beat me, Joey, then you would get a no contest. But technically, like you said, yeah, you're right, it might be out of competition as well. It's all stupid, isn't it? The dumbest thing that they could have ever...
Starting point is 00:52:21 I'm very confused. Because I'm confused, in my mind, I smell a rat. Like, when I get confused and I can't figure it out after I beat it up, for a couple weeks. And again, I'm still a fan of the sport. I love John Jones. You know, I love watching fucking Connor McGregor I think he destroyed Seaver.
Starting point is 00:52:40 But I just, you know, I remember years ago people always saying that they were taking care of the Spanish kid. What was the Spanish kid? That was supposed to be the poster boy. And then they went to Miami and he said, Roger Harker? Right. They said he wanted fucking Pidium money. What the fuck was he doing? And they got insulted.
Starting point is 00:52:55 I don't know what the story was. And then afterward, when he left, they said they were cobbling him. There were people that said that, you know, the UFC even said that they were, you know, promoting him to be a huge star in the Spanish market, so they were giving him like kind of easier
Starting point is 00:53:12 fights. Is that true? Or am I fucking making this up or something? Well, no, no, you're not making it up. And many fans have felt that way, not only about, I'd have to go back and look at, like, I didn't hear the same thing, I'd have to go back and look at
Starting point is 00:53:27 the competition he had. I don't have to had some pretty tough cats. Fuck yeah. Well, Leonard Martinez fight. Leonard, whatever. The kid of the time was one of the best fights when they yelled at each other in Spanish. I went their way.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Yes. Plague Leda. Craig Lita was a pretty tough son of a bitch at the time. I don't know. I mean, yeah, I'm sure the matchmaking helped out a little bit, and I'm sure that they do do that. And a lot of you have said the same thing about Conrader. They haven't put him up against the wrestler.
Starting point is 00:53:55 He's a big name that you want to get them to the finish line, you know, which is the Aldo fight. So you're definitely not crazy to think of that, Joe. But, you know, some people would also say it's smart business on the UFC's part because those guys need to create big fights. Too many guys are getting injured. Too many guys are getting in trouble. So on the one hand, you say, wow, the UFC sharp for, you know,
Starting point is 00:54:18 creating some of these matches and protecting some guys and getting themselves into some big fights so that they could start selling a ton of pay-per-views and drawing big ratings and keep them a sport going. Because it's go through hills and downs and down, peaks in valley, and right now it's going through a valley. So like I said, some people would look at it that way. Others would say, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:54:36 You know, that's too much. It's not being fair to all of your athletes, the ones that are earning the shot. You know, it's supposed to be more about putting the best versus the best as opposed to, you know, shortcuts for certain fighters. You know, I love journalism. I love reading the Internet.
Starting point is 00:54:55 The good thing about the Internet that you become fans of different bloggers. writers and you write and what I've read the last two days a lot of little things I've read and it's like right now people are down on the UFC and I think there a couple blogs I read were like you know all the drugs and this and this what these motherfuckers don't remember is I came up in the 80s when fucking the San Diego charges were a cocaine fueled fucking team and I remember and I was telling somebody a story Dan Fouts at one time was off for three weeks. First of all, him, Chuck Muncie, that fumbling motherfucker, that cock suck,
Starting point is 00:55:34 I must have lost $10,000 on that fucking, I was in high school, Chuck Muncie. He would kill me on Monday nights because San Diego would throw bombs, and then Chuck Muncie would have to run him in and he'd fucking fumble the ball. And he became a big coat guy. And then Fred Dean left the San Diego charges and went to the Niners. And an interview with Sports Illustrated, he called him a bunch of freebasin motherfuckers. And nobody really knew what was going on. And then a couple of years later, some guy wrote an article. He wrote a book or something
Starting point is 00:56:05 and somebody sent me like pieces of it on an email. And I read the excerpts of a book and there was a story in San Diego where they were in a hotel room coked up to the gills the San Diego charges. And Dan Fouts was walking around with a gun and the gun slipped and it
Starting point is 00:56:21 shot him in the arm. And they called the... In those days, they had a liaison with the San Diego Police Department. They They called the liaison. They got a doctor to come over. They stitched him up. And they said he slipped and fell.
Starting point is 00:56:35 And he hurt his shoulder. No, he shot himself with a 22 in the fucking shoulder. I mean, this was the NFL back then. Look at today. An NFL got player. Got caught with 200,000 in his fucking car. Yeah, and like 63 grams. And 63 grams.
Starting point is 00:56:49 I mean, you know, listen, there's good and bad in every sport. Don't be down on somebody. You know, yesterday people were talking about drugs and shit. Listen. those guys in the NFL don't get to be 6 with 6 290 pounds because they don't do something at one point or another they got that's the truth
Starting point is 00:57:07 they go into broadcasting and they're right back to being you know 6 3 2 20 and they're playing like 80 pounds bigger but I'll tell you what man he took me down memory laying because I remember those charters those charter teams John Jefferson West Chandler Air Correel
Starting point is 00:57:23 Air Correel bitch those rumors around Chuck Monty I did not know I thought that struck me more as a choir boy, but wow. No, look up Chuck Muncie online tomorrow. If you look up Chuck Muncie online, Chuck Muncie went crazy years later.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Because some kids were talking Monday. I went to this meeting, and they were saying, well, you know, Seattle, I can't believe they threw the ball. And I go, you motherfuckers are too young. You motherfuckers don't remember Air Correel. That motherfucker would throw a one-yard touchdown. Listen, they could be three and one, and he would throw a 40-yard fucking bun.
Starting point is 00:57:58 That was his frame. That was why they were Air Correel. What was his name? Chuck Correel. What was his name? I think Don Correel was the coach. So the name of their offense was Air Correel. Dan Fouts had the body of a fucking Mickelow bottle.
Starting point is 00:58:15 He was the most unhealthiest looking quarterback you ever seen in your fucking life. He was square. All he did was throw. That's all. He couldn't move out of the pocket at all. He never got a yard. But, uh...
Starting point is 00:58:31 Yeah. They would have thrown it from anywhere, though. They didn't give a fuck three and one from the fucking boom, 40-yard fucking touchdown. Because they didn't give a fuck. They threw it down and you throw it, you know? Long time ago, huh? Nobody, remember that?
Starting point is 00:58:48 Let me tell you something. They're games... I remember all of that, man. You were some exciting times. You always had to bet the over with them, and the overs were like 60. Who fucking bets an over when it's 60? And I remember going to bed one night, the final score was 58-52.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Like, that's the type of games they played. 54-48, 48, 40. They had no defense. They had no defense. Their offense was everything. Their game strategy was listening. We're just going to bomb these motherfuckers to death. Don't worry about defense.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Do what you guys do. Just make believe you're doing what you're doing. But you're right, Dan, there's problems in all kinds of things. Yeah, that's fucking problem. And every fucking... I'm not immune to it. We're just all waking up by now. I think the UFC, you know, again, it's a term I use constantly.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Because when I see somebody slipping in a personal view and a business view, it's the law diminishing returns. It happened to me two or three times in my life. I learned my lesson, and I never did it again. You could only do so much, George. You could only... Did you guys hear that Anderson Silverstone... still going to be allowed to coach
Starting point is 01:00:01 tough for Brazil, tough Brazil for, whatever they call it. They're filming here in Las Vegas, Emmons Chauvin, who are the coaches, and the U.S. He decided to stand by them and to let the process play out. He put out a statement saying, nope, you know, it was,
Starting point is 01:00:16 they left to Tampa with the testing or whatever because I've never put anything illegal, like I said earlier. But they're going to stand by them. That's surprising, honestly. I thought they were going to replace him and get another coach. But that's got disappointed. a lot of people because if you
Starting point is 01:00:31 do want to make a statement and if you do want to project to your fans that your athletes are clean and you won't tolerate anything, then I would have believed that if they are going to let the process play out, they could have done it without him being in a coach's role.
Starting point is 01:00:49 You know, when it comes to that stuff, I don't know I don't want to cut somebody's legs off because of a mistake. You know, I've made tons of mistakes. I wouldn't want somebody cut my legs off. If he can't fight maybe he's a good coach but I think
Starting point is 01:01:04 if it was anybody else if it was a lesser fighter they would have had any problem because I was thinking about it when you guys were talking about all the rules the UFC is a business and then all the athletic commissions rule that just general
Starting point is 01:01:20 fighting sport so they're like they're not connected at all the NFL has its own rules and it's kind of governed within itself and it's just crazy how like how much input they have and all the UFC really cares about at the end of the day is money. They don't care if they're doing drugs.
Starting point is 01:01:37 They don't. They want more exciting fights. If somebody with a lesser name was in that imposition, I honestly think they would have cut them from that coaching. Yeah, he's going to be around. And you protect too much that you're only going to protect everyone at the top and you're trying to let
Starting point is 01:01:53 everybody know that, you know, you're, or you treat all your half people saying, it's air across the board, this style, whatever. And then you do something like It doesn't sit well, man. You see all the other athletes, but they were the way the John Jones situation unfolded. And granted, it was kind of out of your defense
Starting point is 01:02:08 a little bit because of the fact that they couldn't penalize them. You know, the commission couldn't do anything about it. So I kind of get that. But still, until the athletes kind of got all the facts and all that, I mean, they were attacking the suit, so a lot of them did not like the one did. And they didn't like... But, you know, just being with Anderson Silverman, it's not done.
Starting point is 01:02:27 I'm sure we're there more. You know, they grew, guys. and they're going through growing pains. I mean, I was just sitting here going, when they were just regular, they didn't have all these problems. So when they started reaching out to Macau and doing all these cards
Starting point is 01:02:39 and doing, you know, Fox Sports and Fox Sports One, and you don't know what, you know, the prelims aren't going on a fucking computer. And I think that they have a lot on their plate, and I think that they're going to hopefully, I don't know, it's just a law of diminishing returns. You can't sell T-shirts and open up different markets.
Starting point is 01:02:59 It's just too much. And now they added women to the fighting, you know, to the sport. So they're getting adjusted to that. You know, that's a complete different thing they don't know about. You know what the rules are. They can't fight with a tampon. Who the fuck knows? You don't fucking know.
Starting point is 01:03:14 You don't fucking know. It's a fucked-up rule. Next thing you get karate chopping a tampon comes out of your pussy on national TV. Who the fuck knows? You know, I don't know this shit. But then the re-boxing is kind of fucked up too when you think about it. that they're not going to let people wear like non-approved uniforms
Starting point is 01:03:32 and cut all that money because they're not paying, when you look at boxing salaries or whatever the purses are, like they're millions of dollars and then the most, the people are getting at most a couple hundred thousand dollars
Starting point is 01:03:44 at these fights and then you're cutting a big major way for them to make money. Like didn't Anderson Silva even say before this fight he wouldn't wear it? That's why maybe he tested positive for cocaine. Maybe, you know who put the cocaine in?
Starting point is 01:03:57 The same guy. shot John F. Kennedy. Because once he opened up his mouth, all of a sudden he tested positive for fucking de-belites, whatever the fuck he tested positive for. So maybe this at all. So you don't want to fucking put Reebok? Here you go. We'll put a Coke rock. We'll put a fucking steroid
Starting point is 01:04:14 in your fucking piss test, and that's the end of it all. I mean, who knows? I don't fucking know anymore. I just... Hey, can we go back to something, real fast? Go ahead, brother. I want to know your guys' honest opinion, man. We're shooting it straight up for you right here. and Michelle, Church of what's happening now.
Starting point is 01:04:30 I want to know, because I get some heat for this. I have just, I'm in a slow process of embracing women's mixed martial arts. There's about 10 good athletes that I enjoy watching, that I thoroughly watch and go, wow, she knows how to throw a head kick or a spinning back kick or set up certain submissions. But a lot of the other young ladies, they're athletic, they're tall, so I'm not going to take anything away from them, all that other stuff. but I still feel like there in the 1990s of
Starting point is 01:05:00 mixed martial arts like if you go back and see you know UFC 8 UFC 7 you're going to see you're going to see some really good athletes like Don Frye and Wacholan and then you're going to see a bunch of tomato cans out there's like what the fuck
Starting point is 01:05:12 the sport was really these guys and right now I uh I just I don't know LA has a cold a court of a main event and a main event and it's four women and L.A's one phone
Starting point is 01:05:25 man I'm from southern California Orange County I get excited when the UF. He goes back there. I was pissed when they canceled the other L.A. card. And I wasn't too happy when Ronda Rouse was headlining against Liz Karmouche and the other machete and Dan Henderson with the combing. But whatever.
Starting point is 01:05:39 I'm not successful for the guy. But now L.A. has, you know, the thing that happened with Vitor and Wyden and I'm just not as excited to go out to L.A. as I was. And I think a lot of it, honestly, is just I'm just not as down like everybody else about what is next. Watch a lot. Talk about you guys. I don't really have that much of an opinion on.
Starting point is 01:06:03 I've seen a few of the fights, but I was listening to Ari Shafir's podcast today, and he said something that I actually think makes sense thinking about it. He said, it's not going to be exciting until someone at least beats Rwanda for, like, one round. They don't have to win the fight, but they actually have to, like, beat her for, like, one or two rounds. Probably win the fight. But until then, it's exciting to watch her, but at the same point, it's not as exciting
Starting point is 01:06:28 She's like Mike Tyson You know For a headline She might come out And knock you out And fucking 30 seconds Or arm bar you Or whatever
Starting point is 01:06:36 What wasn't the question More about What I thought about The women in MMA Isn't that the question Yeah yeah Do you like women Mix martial arts
Starting point is 01:06:45 As a whole Between you and I Yes I watched Misha Tate the other night Against the wrestler And that wrestler Knows how to throw some fucking punch
Starting point is 01:06:57 Yep. And that would be two of the ten that I like. I mean, if you were when they were fighting, I was into it. I love it. I love it. But there's not many of those pairings that come up where I go,
Starting point is 01:07:10 fuck, yeah, I can't wait. We got about eight. Here's my 800. Here's my 600. We got about eight girls. We're going to look. I just can't get into all of them, you know. A perfect comparison with Mike Tyson and Ronorazza.
Starting point is 01:07:21 That's exactly what she is. He's a Terminator. And you know, if anybody gets past a minute or two, it's an accomplishment. But other than that, to see a home meet event at UFC 184 and there's two more ladies on top of Rwanda Rouse and Katvin Garo, man, that doesn't get me excited. That card needs one more fight.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Something that has to be at it. It's not going to, that's not the card. Vidor's got to step up. Somebody's got to step up. I know Gerard Mousassov wanted him. That's a good fight for him. I heard that he wanted to fight Mark Munoz or some shit. I mean, you know, who the fuck knows?
Starting point is 01:07:56 but no, it's time. They got to add something else to that card. I agree with you there. But no. Am I a fan around the Rousey's? Am I a fan of Katzenegano? Kind of Misha Tate, I like. The rest of she fought I like.
Starting point is 01:08:14 There's a couple girls. I don't really know their names, but they're okay to watch. They're in the ballpark. And I know people enjoy it, and it, listen, man, it's the fucking future. you know hunger games got bitches crazy and shit they started sharpening their knives
Starting point is 01:08:31 throwing away the frying pans and getting back out there smack and hoes like old school and shit I don't know I really enjoyed you know it's uh it's not bad I can't lie to you that the other night I wasn't entertained watching Misha Tate against that wrestling looking at that wrestler throw those punches and she's Yeah I was one of the better fights of the cars Yeah she's got a kid
Starting point is 01:08:52 LA I'm just disappointed man I'm going to go on to the of their good of a UFC I think that what they need to do with the women is do like you know
Starting point is 01:09:01 Katzangano's got a kid and her husband died my heart goes out to her and her family and you know these women have stories man
Starting point is 01:09:11 you know I remember I remember seeing Alexander remember Godzilla the black Alexander what was his name who
Starting point is 01:09:20 remember what was the black kid that was in the UFC for like five fights Houston Alexander? Houston Alexander. I saw Houston Alexander the first time.
Starting point is 01:09:29 He knocked the motherfucker out and 10 seconds, knocked his mouthpiece out. Came out again, Godzilla, another motherfucker. But it wasn't until one night I was watching something that he raised his six kids by himself. He was a UPS driver, and he trained in the middle of the night and kind of get up in the middle of the night and cook breakfast and sleep only six hours. And I fell in love with the guy.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Every time I see the guy, I give him a hug. And these women, they're moms. A lot of these women have interesting stories. Now those little wiry ones that were on the ultimate fighter, those bitches are crazy. Them bitches had two choices. The ultimate fighter or prison. You can either see that bitch on Spike
Starting point is 01:10:06 or you can see that bitch on MSNBC on Friday night during those prison shows. You know which ones I'm talking about? Those little lightweight ones, they looked a little crazier. Yeah, but it's always, man. Some good ones in there, I agree. Yeah, I'm interested to see where this woman thing goes, with this MMA goes.
Starting point is 01:10:22 I'm really interesting to see this, man. How about you, me? Yeah, I agree. I like it. I think it's kind of the issue they're having with having too many fights is they have to have, there's less of a stock of women fighters, so it makes it even more noticeable when it's a bad fight. I mean, and everybody's watching those fights.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Listen, let me tell you something. I can't wait until they have those helmets that they put on people and let you know what they're thinking. Yeah. Okay? If you took a UFC in Vegas, none of the way. Wayne, you gave him a helmet. And you said, everybody put the helmet on during the women fighting.
Starting point is 01:10:59 If there's 18,000 people in that arena, 16.5 are waiting in their mind for something to pop out. They all want a fucking costume malfunction. If Misha Tate gets somebody in a fucking headlock and one of those tits pop out, oh, my fucking God. Oh, on Fox television, on Fox One Sports. Oh, my fucking God. That would be tremendous. So don't tell me Every man is sitting there
Starting point is 01:11:26 That thing going If Misha Tate's Fucking cheek popped out of her ass right now How good would this be? Everybody's waiting for Some of the positions You're waiting for that monkey To pop out of the fucking short
Starting point is 01:11:38 I mean don't lie to me George You sat there And you said oh my God What if her tit popped out right now Just for a split second That just shoots through your mind Like remember in the 70s When you went to the movie theater
Starting point is 01:11:51 During the commercials or during the movie theater, Coca-Cola would slip commercials in there and you'd see them subliminally and you get thirsty for Coca-Cola. Same thing. They're just thoughts that shoot through your mind. What if a tit fell out?
Starting point is 01:12:03 It almost happened a couple of times with Razzie. Yeah, no, everybody's waiting for that. And that's the other reason why men love that shit. Men love that. Listen, retarded men love that shit to see two women fighting jello and shit on Wednesday night at your local bar. I never liked that shit.
Starting point is 01:12:18 Hot fucking bikini contest. I don't give a fuck. If her monkey's out, then I'm there. But if she's got a bikini on it, that's why I don't go to Hooters. I'm going to go to Hooters and eat with fucking peep with bikinis on. Take that bottom off. Show me that stinky ass. I want to smell that fucking rotten muffler when I'm eating that wing.

When I get back from the road, it's just a special notebook that I open up, and it'll say 2-2-2-8. You know, and that's the week, Monday through the following Sunday. And I write Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Starting point is 01:15:57 And I write what I have to do. On Monday, I do a podcast. On Wednesday, I do a podcast. Monday I go to Jiu-Jitsu. Wednesday, I go to Jiu-Jitsu. Thursday, I'd take a flight, you know, 145 on Tuesday. I got Dr. Amy. And then as the schedule comes in, I write around it.
Starting point is 01:16:12 So when people call me, so when I wake up on Tuesday, I know exactly what I have to do. But then I have side things. Like I have to call coffee. to write my shirt, so I'll write Kyle. I have to go get blood out, take blood out for this knee. I'll go write blood on the corner. I'll put my goal for the week to work out, two weights,
Starting point is 01:16:32 or I'll put two bikes and two jihitzos. And then I'll put Jackie, and that's my daughter's name. And I've been doing this for about a year. Every week, that's my other daughter, the 25-year-old. And every week, that's how I start my week. and by the time I leave on Thursday I always check off all the shit that I'm supposed to do
Starting point is 01:16:55 like today it said doctor 10 o'clock 11 a.m. Jiu-Jitsu I said David Foley was supposed to meet our friend David Foley from whatever I erased it then it's an 8 p.m. podcast that's my day but some part of the day sometimes I'll write it I have to call somebody in there but my goal
Starting point is 01:17:11 for the week was always to call my daughter it's been and I'm not lying to you guys and I told my wife I showed it a notebook I go look at this every fucking goal this week for the last year
Starting point is 01:17:25 has been to call my daughter every week I say that to myself I gotta call my daughter I gotta call my daughter I gotta call my daughter I got to call my daughter
Starting point is 01:17:31 well this week yesterday she turned 25 years old and I wasn't even thinking about my friend Loubs called me on Monday he goes ha ha ha ha ha ha
Starting point is 01:17:40 tell your daughter I said happy birthday because it's Loubs's birthday also on the 3rd of February so he was born the same day as my daughters. So we did the call-in show Monday night,
Starting point is 01:17:53 and it was on my mind Monday. I thought about calling her. You know, I've been thinking about it. I thought about picking up the phone in a couple hotels because they wouldn't see the incoming call calling in, and they would pick it up. And then I would go, hi, this is Joey Diaz,
Starting point is 01:18:06 and I talked to Jackie, I would catch him off guard. So yesterday I woke up, and I had to do something in the morning, and then I had to go to daycare with my wife and Terry to look at daycares, and we walked to the daycare. And the midway there, Terry goes,
Starting point is 01:18:21 what's going on? I can see the smoke coming out of the ears. And I didn't say, no, no, no. I'm just thinking about I got to put mercy in her fucking daycare, you know. She's growing, you know. But what I was, and then I went to the daycare. When I went to the daycare, Jackie, I used to walk her to daycare when I had her. I used to be a roofing estimator.
Starting point is 01:18:38 My wife used to cut hair. So the daycare was up the corner. So while I was at that daycare, I started thinking about my daughter. Oh, my God. Last time I was in a daycare. I would pick Jackie up and then once she had a kid that bitter. So I told her to bite the kid back then and then let me come back to the daycare. So I left there yesterday and my goal was to go home, eat lunch and call Jackie.
Starting point is 01:19:02 And then I got high and I didn't call her and I took a nap instead. And I woke up and I sat up at the computer and I go, you know what? I got to get the fuck out of that. I took a shower. I got dressed. I went to the Wheatstool and I went to Marie ETC. I bought a fucking sugar-free coffee. I sat down.
Starting point is 01:19:19 I opened up my notebook. And to top it off, the chapter that I'm writing right now that I'm trying to write for this book is about me walking away. What really happened? I was going to war with them, but the only thing that was keeping me alive was comedy. It was the first time of my life
Starting point is 01:19:35 I was making strides doing comedy. And then I realized the truth, that that's what I told you, motherfuckers. The truth of the matter was that they yanked this little bit. girl from me. They yanked it from me with the cost of attorneys. Like I was looking at it and how I was, I would only get her on Wednesdays from two to seven and every other Sunday from two to seven. And basically they yanked it from me, but they yanked it from me in a legal way. And the beauty of
Starting point is 01:20:04 is what they laughed in my face. And when I always talk about the kiss of death and karma and things coming back, well, let me tell you something. It was the way when I, when we giggle here, how I robbed somebody and I giggle about it. It was. done to me. You know, it was done to me. This is why I know all about karma and all about kisses of death. And this is one of those stories that, uh, they yank me, they fuck me up the ass.
Starting point is 01:20:27 You know when somebody fucks you up the ass and they steal something from you and you see him every day? You ever get to a fist fight with somebody and they break your nose. You guys shake hands, but you never really remember. You never really forgot that fucking broken nose. Like you're like, one of these nights, we're going to get drunk and I'm going to break his fucking head for him
Starting point is 01:20:43 breaking my nose. It's one of those things. Like I never really forgot the pain. I never really forgot what I went through Like the embarrassment of somebody taking some from me Yeah, I could tell you guys that You know I wanted her to grow better, whatever The truth of the matter was that
Starting point is 01:21:00 They were going to yank her from me And I was going to lose my mind And fucking stab somebody So I said fuck it Let me go do comedy And But if I go do comedy And I commit to this
Starting point is 01:21:12 I got to do something in my life To make it worth my while And that's the only way I could come back and I always wanted to kill those people my revenge was to just do better just to stay alive and I'm here today so yesterday I was at the coffee shop
Starting point is 01:21:27 I took a couple of tips of that coffee and I called No way Yep Did you pick up? Nope, I got a machine And I said this is Joey Diaz It's Jackie's birthday today
Starting point is 01:21:38 It's a 25th birthday I want you guys to tell her I said happy birthday And I love her And you know I don't know what happened the years got biased and I just want to make that call
Starting point is 01:21:49 to see if we can make this happen. This is my number. 3-2-3. I told my number. And I said, if she doesn't want to call, that's fine too. I just know in my heart that I made this fucking call. And I hung up the phone. I'll tell you what, I lost 80 fucking pounds in my heart.
Starting point is 01:22:07 I'm not going to lie to you, Lee. It was amazing. I went to that laugh factory last night, and I tore that room in half. And then I went to the store and tore that fucking room in half. and say I went to Jiu-Jitsu and my life has changed dramatically and I don't
Starting point is 01:22:20 and it's not something I did it's something that you guys did you know why because you guys keep me in check because if I'm gonna talk this shit I talk I gotta fucking back it up so in my life right now I took care of
Starting point is 01:22:36 all my loose sins and it's because of the church so we're even motherfuckers don't ever come out to me again after a show and tell me that I help you get your life together or that me and Lee got you off track because we're even. I would have never done this on my own.
Starting point is 01:22:52 But I knew that I had to do this for you guys in mind. I fucking call. And you know what? They didn't call back. And guess what? I don't give a fuck guys. I went ahead. I called.
Starting point is 01:23:07 They're probably sitting around scratching their fucking heads going, what the fuck is our next move? You know what the next move is? to just move on with their life to do what they think is best for them. Do you think she even heard the message? Lee, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:23:24 And I don't care. It's like I got it out. I made my move. You know what I'm saying? I think that a lot of things are going to change in my life just because of me making that call.
Starting point is 01:23:35 For a long time, I was very scared. How long did it take you to do it? Like how long had it been? I've been trying for a year, probably, 18 months, to make a call. And the deeper I got in with you guys, I knew I had to make that call.
Starting point is 01:23:49 So I just started by writing her name on the side of the page and looking at it on my schedule every day. So every day when I love my schedule, I see Tuesday have to go to Acupunge. I got to drive from Terry here. I got to meet with this guy from Disney. And in the corner, I would see what exes
Starting point is 01:24:08 have been up and it would always be Jackie. And every week, there's two things. I still haven't gone for the blest. test either. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I'll probably do that next week now that I got this out of the way. Probably. You know what I'm saying? Because fuck that blood test. The motherfucker fucking shit.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Feeling good tonight. It's a beautiful Wednesday night to be alive, man. I took a big weight off my chest and my shoulders when I made that call. How stressful was it when you like the phone was ringing? Was your heart racing? It was fucking horrid. It really was horrid.
Starting point is 01:24:39 I don't like those people, guys. I don't like those people at all. like it and uh i learned the big lesson with them i learned how i felt when i robbed people they robbed me they took something big from me and i'll tell you something when i die and i go to heaven a purgatory and i see my mother she's gonna give me a kiss and she's gonna give me a hug and she'll look at me she goes i can't believe you like those fucking motherfuckers live because i know the blood we have this devaldez blood that's like like when i even think about it me i want to get on a plane and parachute out where they live and just blow up the front of them and just blow up the
Starting point is 01:25:13 fucking house, but I can't. I have responsibilities to you guys, I have responsibility to my wife, have responsibility to my daughter, but in my heart because they really, really, really did get over on me. They really got over on me, Lee, and you don't know what the pain. And it's not somebody, a random person. It's somebody you had a relationship with that one time. It's somebody that you shared stuff with. It's somebody that, you know, it was a bond. All right, we broke up, we don't get along. Boom, boom, boom. That's it. It's over. They kicked me when I was down. And they even took my dog.
Starting point is 01:25:49 Who takes your fucking dog? They took my dog. That's fucked out. And won't give me back to the fucking dog. Like they were, they were like antagonizing me. So part of me to this day feels like a fucking pussy for not fucking them up. But I wouldn't have done anybody good in jail.
Starting point is 01:26:04 I didn't belong in fucking jail. So I just want to thank you guys for keeping me in check and making me think at least in that direction that I had to do this. And I went to the church. I ain't got lying to you. I wouldn't have done it on my own. I'm a fucking pussy. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:26:20 That's really cool. I mean, it's, uh, did it happen because it was her birthday, or were you just ready? It was because it was a 20th birthday. Yeah, it was a 20th birthday. What the fuck, you know? We probably haven't spoken for fucking 10 years.
Starting point is 01:26:34 What the fuck, Lee? It's, uh, it's that time. And I've gotten a thousand emails from people from the church. Salomey to contact her. And they knew, they knew. I always knew they were correct. I never felt. out of line. I always knew
Starting point is 01:26:45 that they were correct and what their words were. There were a couple people that were assholes about it, you know? But I did it, and that's it. That's what the church is all about. You know what, man? You take baby steps, whatever it takes you, but you're always working until that fucking goal, and that's all I ever fucking do, man.
Starting point is 01:27:02 Just working towards that goal a little bit, you know what I'm saying? What do you got planned this week and fuck all? I feel you dog. What are you doing on Friday then? We don't have any plans yet. You keep it loose this week. No fucking Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong Village.
Starting point is 01:27:17 What's wrong with Hong Kong Village? Nothing, I'm just saying. You know, you always got an exotic. What about Saturday that way you take it? We don't have any plans yet. We're going to figure some stuff out. You guys are like an end cup or your Uber. You're taking Uber.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Every one's in a while, yeah. It's cheap. It's cheap as fuck. So what are you going to do the rest of the night? I don't have a spot at the store. Oh, my God. I got the college Saturday. This is one and a half star thing.
Starting point is 01:27:41 It's not, not, not, not good for talking. Yes, it is. You look beautiful. You're just uptight. I don't know what the fuck you're uptight. I'm trying to take the stick out of your ass. It's a beautiful night to be alive.
Starting point is 01:27:51 You know what I'm saying? You got to stay loose. You got your blue shirt on. Your hair looks nice. Look at you. What the fuck? You go home and you're panicked. I've been trying to tell this guy.
Starting point is 01:27:59 I'm not panicking. That he has anxiety. But when he takes the edible, then he realizes why he goes home. No, I have anxiety when you come into the office. And you always come in. You're like Kramer when you come in. It's always a different entrance.
Starting point is 01:28:12 And then you have this little backpack. And you just go, you know, like, it's like a gift backpack from a show. It has like 34 pockets with you. Because you keep going. You put different tubes. You pop the tube. You pull out different bags. Oh, please.
Starting point is 01:28:28 And then it's just, I just see all you're like, you just pull in the money. You're like, you laugh. You just look up and smile. It's like the creepiest thing. I got everything in this fuck with the bag. I know. And there's like 18, 18 zippers. I got everything.
Starting point is 01:28:41 Glasses. back up glasses, lighters, backup lighters, rolling papers. I think I got a syringe like Rambo. I got fucking nose spray. I got everything in there. I got fucking... I don't have no food in there.
Starting point is 01:28:59 I should get some trail mix just in case shit goes bad. I'm always prepared. I got a few carbohydrates. I don't know what the fuck they are. I don't know what to think about steroids in sports. I guess it's cheating, but at some way... Could they just let people do whatever?
Starting point is 01:29:18 they wanted and because it seems like they're doing it anyways or I don't know how I feel as a fan. Listen, I heard a rumor. I heard that fucking steroid saved baseball. At that time I wasn't watching baseball. Like Sammy Sosa-McGuire or stuff?
Starting point is 01:29:34 Yeah, I knew that they were having that baseball race whenever the fuck they were doing but I wasn't involved with it so I really wasn't paying attention. You know, in football, what do you want to see? You want to see heads. You want to see people blasting it. now you can't through the helmet.
Starting point is 01:29:49 The helmets no more. They have a lot of restrictions and whatnot. But still, I mean, I don't know. It's like a hypocritical type thing. It's like a do but don't, you know what I'm saying? Especially with the NFL, because they sell pictures of the hits. And they used to have like DVDs of the best hits. And now all of a sudden they care.
Starting point is 01:30:12 It's like the same thing we were talking about with the UFC. It's just all about money. They don't. They seem, they say they care. But they really probably don't. Nobody cares, Lee. You ever see Chas Bomb and Terry in Bronxtown? No.
Starting point is 01:30:25 You never saw that movie either? No. Oh, my God. Is that a good movie? Yeah, it's a pretty good fucking movie. But you know what's a good fucking movie? I haven't seen it. I haven't seen a one.
