This fucking price pose. Stop being a victim, you fucking cock suckers. Get out there. It's the church of what's happened now. Tuesday, June 21st, one of my most hated people in the world was born this day. What are you going to do? I hate this fucking day. This fucking jam.
Starting point is 00:02:30 This whole side on bad motor fakers. It's just, it's fucking classic. What's the story, you bad motherfuckers? Uncle Joey here, Lee Syed here. Tuesday, June 21st. We're coming in Tuesday because I got a big fucking day tomorrow. I got things to do. People to see.
Starting point is 00:03:00 People to see. As you know, it's been hot in a motherfucker here. I mean, you know, and listen, it's these fucking Gentiles that make it hot. I mean, it ain't that fucking hot, but I tell you yesterday, there were some moments. could not sit outside. Listen, I love being outside. I love the sun.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I hate that indoor fucking shit. You're depressed. Get vitamin D. Vitamin D is the best fucking thing in the world for you. A couple minutes in the sun, I know. But Joey's son cancer. You know it's cancer sitting inside four fucking walls. Breathing the same fucking oxygen.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Okay, that's fucking cancer. You go outside, you sit under a tree. You get close to the fucking roots. It's making chlorophyll you, whatever the fuck. You suck by that tree. You do some Dr. Belize's, you get a little vitamin D. Things change. I fucking change whole days with 10, 15 minutes in vitamin D.
Starting point is 00:03:50 It's fucking amazing. How people actually scared of a little bit of fucking sunlight. I, you know, I get up in the morning. First thing I do is walk on the balcony. I want to see what the fuck's cracking. I got to get some air. I want to breathe whatever the fuck's out there. You see what happened the night before.
Starting point is 00:04:05 It was windy, you know, something. Were you ever self-conscious about taking your shirt off? Because I always used to be. And there's a huge difference for me. between being outside and being outside with your shirt off. Who needs to go outside with their shirt on? I'm talking, just go outside and get air and get oxygen. Right away, you want to be fucking tossing.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Nobody was talking about the beach. I'm not saying like... Who gives a fuck about the beach? I'm not even talking about the beach. You're just saying random walk. Yeah, the beaches get caught to the beach. No, that's drama. I'm talking about you in your fucking house.
Starting point is 00:04:32 You get up at six. You know, you feed the cats. You clean the leather box. You take a shower. You have some coffee. And about 20, 25 minutes in, whatever the fucking time it is. You open your door and you go outside. You go outside and you see what the fuck's going on.
Starting point is 00:04:47 You already shower. What are you going to sit in that fucking house for? You go outside and you breathe and you drink some water outside. You give thanks to God for giving you another fucking day. Every day since I was fucking in a rocket ship, I always went outside the house. You got to go outside. I don't think I'm agoraphobic, like scared of going outdoors. Fuck yeah, you are.
Starting point is 00:05:08 You're sitting that fucking house for three days. It gives me anxiety leaving. Why do you get anxiety? I have no, there's everything I like is in my house. I know that nothing bad is really going to happen. Like, I'll drive myself nuts.
Starting point is 00:05:20 I'll spend three hours trying to figure out what to eat. It's not bad. I'm not saying going to a strip clock. No. I'm just saying walking in front of your fucking house. Yeah. Under a tree. Getting a little bit of sun,
Starting point is 00:05:30 breathing, no music, no iPod, no nothing. Just collecting your thoughts for 10 minutes outside. I don't care how out of this or how rainy it is. Even when it's rainy, I sit outside sometimes. You get here with a couple drops of rain. God, who gives a fuck?
Starting point is 00:05:45 But in a way it gets you going, it's a different way of getting going outside coffee and all these things. You let nature get you going. If you were around 8,000 fucking years ago, you'd wake up outside and you'd breathe that air. And guess what? People didn't sit
Starting point is 00:06:00 around and talk and read the fucking paper. They got up and killed them motherfuckers. I know you said that you've done this, like this was you before you went to prison, but did prison have anything to do with it? Not being able to go outside? No, not at all? I remember being a kid and living in Manhattan on 809th Street.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That's my first memory of a real home. And we had in those days it was an apartment, but you walked into the apartment. It was a living room. Then there was a kitchen. And in the kitchen, you opened the sliding gate. Okay. And it was like 12 by 12.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Whatever the fuck those things are, you know? And I remember I just sit out there and look at the sun. I could have been four. I don't know what the fuck I was waiting for. I didn't have, I wasn't waiting for fucking, a rainbow or nothing. I was just a retarded little four-year-old kid, and I would just sit there and look at the sun and go to myself, how fucking beautiful is this? Did you ever have dinner outside? That was the, I had a deck too.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I would go outside, I would watch TV, and when I would get bored, I'd go in that balcony and I'd sit in the corner. And my mom would say, why do you sit out here? It's better than sitting there. I'm breathing there. I looked at. If you looked down in those days, you saw garbage. I don't like eating outside Really? No, I don't like eating outside
Starting point is 00:07:13 Especially with it become in this country People eat outside to show you they're outside Look at us with an umbrella Put me in the back Looking forward to them Somebody comes in I slip out the bathroom door Well, I don't understand it at restaurants Especially when outside of the parking on
Starting point is 00:07:27 That's a jerk off thing That's a thing Let's sit outside What do they call it? Suits afresca Yeah, I go fresco Go fuck yourself fresco Put me in the back
Starting point is 00:07:38 And I'll look forward I don't want no outside germs and no fucking people breathing. It's an adult. You ever see people handle your food? Oh, they grab the food and the motherfuckers that stop to answer a question, I'll break the dish over the fucking head. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:07:52 Like they have your food and they'll stop. Talk. Talk. Don't talk. And your food will be just sitting there out. Because you're looking at them on the kitchen. Oh, yeah. I look at everybody.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I don't know, no, no, no, no, no. Uncle Joey keeps an eye on that waiter. I got one eye on the waiter and the other eye on the kitchen. The part that gets me, because I used to be a waiter, is like the thumb in the drinking glass or the thumb touching your food as they're bringing it to you. Or like if you're at like a... The thumb is the least of my promise. Really?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Just a little tip of a thumb. I don't like that. I don't like that. The last time you put your thumb up your ass or you don't, you put it in your mouth. The thing that bothers me the most is when they stop with your food to talk. And cools down. That, no, it doesn't cool down. The breath.
Starting point is 00:08:35 You're talking and my food, your fucking germs are sticking to my... fucking food and his germs are sticking to your food. How do you know which way it is to the bathroom? I have no fucking idea. I'm carrying food that way. But you don't stop with my three fucking dishes to talk to somebody. That's my point. And getting their breath on your food? Yeah, that's what I don't like. That's what I'm talking about. I don't give a fuck about
Starting point is 00:08:55 a thumb. Okay. Yeah, I don't like the thumb. I'm in this country's worried about thumbs. And I have hair. Who gives a fuck? If you got any type of civilian, you've been sucking dick for 30 years. How many hairs have you had in your mouth? You got more hairs than the fucking O. J. Crime fucking seen. And right away you don't want to fucking... But it's different.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I don't know. It doesn't... Because listen, let me explain something to you. That you need to understand before you get into anything. Okay. When you walk into a restaurant, you have to assume in the back of your mind
Starting point is 00:09:26 that this guy scratches balls and picked up your meat. You have to assume that the lettuce guy because if you don't, you're a fucking idiot. I try to put it out of my head, I guess. Yeah. We all do as Americans.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You try to put it out of your head and eat. But what do you think happens in a fucking kitchen? What do you think really happens? You know that food that you like? All those, let me ask you something. All these restaurants that fucking, that dude, bar rescue go to. Right. They're the restaurants you go to.
Starting point is 00:09:54 The same type of food you like. You know, that dude that you were raving about, oh, yeah, carnitas on a sandwich. Listen, that guy will be out of business in a year, and he's a filthy fuck back there. Because those carnitas, who's eating a fucking carnitas sandwich? The only one that's doing that is you. Carnitas is...
Starting point is 00:10:11 Nobody has come up to me in the last four weeks. I found this place. And they have carnitas sandwich with Swiss cheese or cheddar. That's even fucking worse. We discussed cheddar today. You hate cheddar. I don't know what it is delicious. Because it's not delicious.
Starting point is 00:10:24 It's not a good cheese at all. Doesn't do anything to a sandwich but makes you fucking white as fuck. That's all cheddar does. Cheddar's not Swiss. Cheddar's not monster. So what cheeses are passable? American slice thin Slice thin on turkey.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Tasted sometimes. Thin with mayonnaise. Taste that fucking, it conglomerates better than that hard cancer. That cheddar's a hard fucking cancer. Don't you look at that fucking cheddar? I don't think it's a cancer, but maybe.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Who knows? I like Swiss. Swiss is a call for ham. Swiss is a call for fucking turkey. You can't change. Little Swiss, little Swiss on roast beef with chains on ripe bread. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You have no idea with the little seeds and a little rye bread with some roast beef slice thin a little pink Throw some salt and pepper on that motherfucker to a slice of Swiss cheese or two a little shaved lettuce Very important shaved lettuce is that little strips little strips little strips I love the little And the slices of tomato on rye with mayonnaise and then come back and you see your uncle fucking Joey If that's not your sandwich I used to get pissed at my mom because I loved something when you there's something about shaved lettuce it tastes different yeah it's supposed like one leaf of lettuce like a complete that leaf i take that thing and i go yeah i don't want this when they just put the leaf of lettuce and i don't want that i like when they put the spinach in and all that type of stuff like the spinach leaves i don't mind
Starting point is 00:11:50 that okay but shredded lettuce is the call when you go down the jersey shore it's shredded fucking lettuce when you go to hashways deli it's shredded fucking dallas when you go to the palmer in fair view it's shredded fucking lettuce what part of that doesn't anybody fucking understand it's i think It's laziness, I guess. Yeah, it's laziness. It's fucking complete laziness. It's why you can't, you know, you can't go to those places. Because if you go, you just fall into that fucking trap.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You just have to boycott those places in your mind. Everyone makes fun of you for, like, have, like, your stances and stuff, but it gets you out a lot of bad, like, you never have, like, a really, like a bad meal. No. It's just, like... I stick to my guns. Right, yeah. I stick to my guns. I love to try new things, but I look at the person who suggested it.
Starting point is 00:12:35 And I look at the other foods he's told me about in this fucking stupid fucking life. Do you still take advice from here? No, not even close. You're discussing. You like carne sada on French fries. Who doesn't like it? It's delicious. Carnetasa fries.
Starting point is 00:12:49 That's just garbage. That's just garbage. A nice fucking steak fry, nice. With an open steak sandwich. That's the way America. A fucking carnita. You don't know what the fucking carnitas is. It could be a pork knuckle.
Starting point is 00:13:03 I saw that meat they served at that thing the other day. Where? At that fucking benefit I went to that. It was disgusting. Yeah, bad meat. It's really. Listen, when they, when people created all these meals, they have to evolve, but nobody in their right mind had the shit they're going to put on French fries. I mean, how many things can you put on French fries?
Starting point is 00:13:23 Everything. I tell you're fucking ridiculous. There's nothing I like on a French fry except ketchup. A nice cut potato from the house and you cut steak fries. doesn't need nothing. If you want to dope it up with some garlic slices thin and some onion slices, that's it.
Starting point is 00:13:41 That's all that needs. It doesn't need, you know, nothing else. When I grew up in Jersey, I used to go to those places that had the gravy with the mozzarella cheese. That's fucking delicious, but you don't see me eating it every week. You can't.
Starting point is 00:13:54 You can't. You know, you throw those weights around three times a week. Do you tell me what I ate today? What do you have? I ate today. I woke up this morning and had an almond smoothie. I need dick. You know what I had for lunch?
Starting point is 00:14:05 I had a steak and eggs with fruit and a piece of wheat toast. That's good. And I need nothing else. And then tonight my wife made some fucking fukasha hamburger help or ate two fucking spoons of it. Tonight I have a protein shake. I'm not better than you. I'm trying to eat better. But I never, like if I knew now when I knew at your age, I wouldn't eat half the shit I was eating.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I would just refuse to eat it. And I did. When I tell you, I'm not going to do it. Listen, I hate my, my mom. one friend, but one thing he always told me is when you, I was telling Larry this last night on the phone. He's like, when I put some in my head, it's over. I'll never look at that food again. I'll never eat there again. I'll never go back there again. I don't care what they tell you. And I grew up at a time when there was no yell, when you made a personal fucking choice.
Starting point is 00:14:52 You made a personal thing. I don't check yelp because look at the people who are going on yelp. They don't know about food. What do they know about food? They've been growing up out here eating this shit the fuck do they know about food nothing a carnita fry who's ever heard of that i guess with cheese on it it's so good you know how hard you work yeah no i can't eat them and i don't i don't it's like it's over like like at one point you look at that food and go like it's never happening ever again like that's it never again it can't happen like that's the discipline that america has never really understood with anything whether it's drugs or food or a pill or anything And everything that goes with that has to be shut down.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I. Somebody calls you and says, hey, I'm having a party at that place. I ain't going there. Why? Because they have carnitas fries. I wouldn't even step in the building. No, no, no. It's just little things that people.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And then we go back on and then we get angry with ourselves. I should have never came here. You knew it. You fucking knew it. 2,000 million people are not wrong. Jared tricked the whole fucking nation into eating that horse meat. It's terrible. It's fucking terrible.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And if you say to me, well, Joey, it's a sandwich for $5.00. Do you know the sandwich I can make you for $5 fucking? Do you have any fucking idea of the sandwich I can make you for $5 fucking dollars? Yeah, it's... The sandwich you can make yourself for $5 fucking dollars. But you have to go to the store? Who gives a fuck? A lot of people.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Wouldn't you rather go to the store than have fucking that tattoo guy with greasy fingers? He's been smoking cigarettes. I don't give a fuck how many gloves at Subway, one of those fucking foreigners put on the hands. and that white dude with a tattoo of an alligator on his neck. He could put on three fucking gloves, and the stench of his life is still going to touch that fucking disgusting turkey pastrami they get that you're going to eat. $5 you're selling your fucking soul.
Starting point is 00:16:50 You're selling your soul, and then it's just... Five fucking dollars. It's not good at all, even for, even to save the money. No nutritional value at all. That's what I'm fucking saying with half of these places you go eat at now, Dog, are all the fusion. Everybody wants to be John. fucking fusion and they all when did that start do you remember yeah I'm sitting on my balcony
Starting point is 00:17:07 last Friday it's me and my wife we're talking it's fucking two in the afternoon I went to you out who the fuck knows what happened I know I'm starving I look on the table there's a fucking menu all right it's for I look at the thing it's a spicy garlic shrimp that sounds good I said god damn where is this I told my wife we went down there first I was I'm walking and I kicked myself in the ass it was one of those mixed places. It was half Japanese and have Chinese. Right already, but I go, you know what? I got to be fair. I got to talk myself through this. Why be negative? I could be positive. Well, let me tell you
Starting point is 00:17:45 something. The fucking fried wontons taste like terrible. Even my wife were like, what are these things? The fucking Philly Roll. The cream cheese was two years old. Okay? The shrimp and garlic was okay, but they gave me those fucking mezza moat shrimp. I hate those shrimp. I got to go. The rice was the best thing on the menu, the white rice.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Will I go there again? Never in my fucking whole life. Was it my fault? Absolutely, because I don't go. With my world, you've got to pick a country. You're the Chinese or Japanese. You can't sell sushi and pork fried fucking rice. And every time you go to those places,
Starting point is 00:18:19 you're going to end up going, wow, this ain't that good. No, because they can't even make good Japanese food. Now they want to try to cross fucking over. And then the problem I have with going out to eat, I have a terrible time making choices. Like, I'll spend two hours, and it's because I don't, I'll go to these places that, oh, I had a bad meal there, but I'll try them again. Like, it seems like you just, if you make a decision and just stick to it, it makes your life a lot simpler, which I have a huge problem with. I went to this place, got a burger.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Why didn't you go to stop? Well, because I don't give a fuck what Paula thinks. I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks. My wife, Paula, your wife, if somebody comes out here to visit me and says, hi, I was in a bar in Jersey, and I heard about this. place called Five Fingers, Biggers, five brothers, whatever the fuck it is. Can we go there and get a hamburger? Yeah, on your own.
Starting point is 00:19:07 You want a burger? Yeah, we're going to stop. Why are we going to stop? You don't get bored of any of these places? No, but I don't go every fucking weak. Okay. But it's the best burger. Why fuck around?
Starting point is 00:19:16 I'm not going to go anywhere else. There's no reason to go anywhere else. The fries suck dick there, but the burger's the best burger in town. The thing to do is to go to jerry's, get steak fries, go to stout, get a burger, and bring it home. That's your best bet, but I'm not that much of a fucking. fucking animal. That is the best bet. I love doing that. Okay. That's what I'm saying to you. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a burger right now. Nowhere else. The next 10 years will I live here.
Starting point is 00:19:39 There's no reason to. That fucking burger is the best burger. The flavoring that burger, I've been all over the country. That's the best burger I've had in 10 fucking years inside that burger. How they cook it, the pink, it's real meat. You never get sick there. The onion rings are fucking tremendous in the iced tea. I'm not going to recommend anything else to you there. I don't know. I never had it. But when I want a hamburger, one of my friends, I want a hamburger, my friend Julius says this is a place, and Sherman knows, listen, then go with Julius.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Right. Go with Julius. But today, we're going to stout. And I guarantee you'll love it. And that's it. It always works. It's not that I'm being a prick, it's not that I'm being a bad person.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I go for what's the best bang for my fucking dough. How do you get so confident? Because I don't have it at all, man. You just grow when you go. this is what I'm going to do and this is what I'm not going to do. That's it. This is what I'm going to do and this is where I'm not going to go. You know, yesterday was the first time that we got a,
Starting point is 00:20:41 it was too hot to cook yesterday. Right. So yesterday I was going to a jiu-jitsu on the way back I'm starving. Jerry Rocha calls me, we were talking, and he goes, I'm going, I'm at the golden chopsticks. I said, you know what? A Chinese lunch wouldn't fucking kill you. So I got the chicken pepper.
Starting point is 00:20:58 You know, just a nice chicken with brown rice, you know. Wasn't bad. But that's not Chinese food. Any idiot can make a piece of chicken with brown rice. Do you know what I'm saying? Right. Like I had to settle for fucking chicken with red peppers. You know, those little red spicy peppers.
Starting point is 00:21:14 That's not what I would have got there. No. But they don't have Setsuan beef the way I like it. I don't have anything. And you know they can't mess that up. Right. So I know they can't fuck it up. So I take the easy route out so nobody gets their feelings here.
Starting point is 00:21:25 But like that, there's that Chinese place on Ventura. I went there with my wife. after my wife was pregnant. They got me one time for 60. Don't ever get me again. It was disgusting. I told one day I said, I'm not eating Chinese food no more.
Starting point is 00:21:36 What does that mean? I'm just not doing it no more. When I go home to chance, I'll stack up. There's no reason to eat that shit otherwise. It's just bad. The only thing I like around here is that fucking Cessuan thing.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Oh, the green apple? The green apple. But who's going to have to? I got to go park and go into tunnels. Now, forget it. And that's why I don't, going back to, why I don't leave the house, I think about all that.
Starting point is 00:22:01 And then I'm like, why even leave the house? Why even go outside? You think about all that, but you'll settle for a shitty restaurant instead of just going to the main water. Because I get overwhelmed. I'm like, oh, fuck it, I'll just go there. Why would you get overwhelmed? I have America with TV today.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Nobody can have a decent TV show today. It's not even worth trying to put a decent TV show on today because there is so overwhelming of television. There was so much entertainment. If I want to stay home, if I want to be, be a 500 pound fat fuck. I could do it in today's world just staying easily. It wouldn't even be hard.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Easily. They've programmed this for you to stay home and watch that shit all fucking day. There's a new show on Netflix. There's a new show on this. There's a new show on that. So no show could really grab you. I hear the hottest show is that family fucking show on ABC. Modern Family?
Starting point is 00:22:50 There is not one person I talk to that watches that. Number two. Every show I've seen on ABC the last two years is so got off. It's so god awful. I told my wife this last week we're watching something. I can't even watch Shark Tank no more. Really? It's getting a little weird.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah, it's getting too cocky now and Shark Tank Plus. Who gives a fuck? Give me the money or not. You're going to rob me anyway. What's the big fucking deal? I'm getting robbed you no matter what. You see the fine print at the end? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Yeah, it's fine print like a motherfucker at the end. It is kind of crazy, especially with that show that we've been convinced into watching an hour long of commercials. that's a commercial for their companies and their products and it's amazing that that's where you're really buying them out of all the shows i'll watch shark that's i watch it every week i'll watch it but it's so weird how people glorify these other fucking shows and i try to watch them i'm like i don't know what these people but this for me it's been like that all my life i could look through something i can see two or three little things and go the same for me you know i was talking all over yesterday i love las Vegas i love the idea
Starting point is 00:23:59 the move in Las Vegas. Remember what was he yesterday? Yeah, like 110? That's the way it is for three fucking months. Oh, no, thank you. You know what, man? You don't have enough air conditions. For me, at this age, I know exactly what I'm going to do,
Starting point is 00:24:10 and I know exactly what I'm not going to fucking do. I know I'm not going to have me to eat broccoli. I know I'm never going to eat fucking asparagus. I already know, because I haven't done it already, and I won't fucking break for it at all. I don't give a fuck. What's wrong with broccoli? I just don't like none of that shit.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I don't. I like lettuce, tomato and onions. That's it. but only shredded lettuce shredded lettuce for different things you can't give me a salad at home with shredded lettuce you look like a fucking moron you have to cut the lettuce
Starting point is 00:24:39 do you understand me and that's what all these people have messed up out here that's what they you know it only takes a little bit more to be that much better I open up a sandwich shop guess what I'm gonna do before I open up a sandwich shop what I'm taking my fat fucking friendly in me and we're gonna get a big bag of reefer
Starting point is 00:24:55 and we're gonna go to the 10 top sandwich shops in the country That's how you open up a fucking business That's the investment You go to Jersey And you go guys, give me the best fucking sandwich pie And you hear 10 guys Vitos Joccos Mookis
Starting point is 00:25:09 You do a thing And whoever has 11 out of 12 You fucking go to that Then you go to New York City Who's got the best sandwich This place you go And you eat the sandwiches And you learn
Starting point is 00:25:19 Then you go to Oklahoma And eat a sandwich in Oklahoma And you almost puke That day I had a sandwich In Omaha I almost fucking puked What happened? Oh my God It was just some
Starting point is 00:25:28 Something that they couldn't even make a sandwich, but I knew this going in, and this is what you get when you go to a small little fucking airpoise. You're so hard on yourself. This is what you get. That is. It's true. It's true. You reach a certain age that you already know what you're getting yourself fucking involved in. That's about 34 or 35.
Starting point is 00:25:47 You know you're going to get sucked into this stupid shit. That's why, like, I had a friend who got hooked on Coke at 50. I'm crack at 50. I never saw that. Oh, God. After all of life that's been happening, at 40. You want to get hooked on crack and smoke crack and all this shit now? That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Were they sober up until that point? Well, not really. You know, they were still fucking doing shit, but now they smoke crack out of everything at that age. Yeah, that's intense. Crack. It's weird, especially because when I used to look at people my age now and think I was old. But now when I'm growing up and seeing, like I live next to this woman who is very nice.
Starting point is 00:26:28 But I'm pretty sure she's a hoarder. She doesn't leave the house. It's really, it gets kind of creepy after a certain age for a lot of people. It gets, it's sad. It's weird how people just deteriorate. Well, I'm not deteriorate. Well, not you. But no.
Starting point is 00:26:42 But listen, that deterioration process, you have two choices. You can let yourself deteriorate it. You can do something about it. You follow me, man. I mean, I've never had it, but I can't imagine what it's like to lose the will to live. I want to live every day. As bad as my life was, there was something,
Starting point is 00:27:03 I knew that there was something over the fucking hill. That's the only way I could describe it. When you get up in the morning and you realize where you're at and then you start thinking about your life, and right before you fucking go into a fucking coma of depression, you fucking look up. And it's like there's something over the hill
Starting point is 00:27:23 and you're running the shower. And when you're in the shower, you give yourself that confidence. But I can't imagine what it's, like not to have the will to live, not to have the will, and it's not about money. I know people who have millions of dollars that they lose the will to live. And I just always thought life was fucking great. Like, I don't matter how bad it was, I never saw it.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And I got to tell you, I felt bad a lot of times in my life. I'm not going to fucking sit here and tell you that there was years. I didn't know what the next level was. So when you were homeless, you didn't feel that way? When I was homeless doing all that shit, I got to tell you, I knew that I was putting myself in this position. But part of it wasn't that I wanted to do it, Lee. It was that this is where I wanted to be. I didn't think I was good enough to do that other stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:28 So it's that complicated for you. When you say that... Listen, half the Coke I did, I didn't want it. do after shit I did do you think I really wanted to fucking break into some of these house I didn't want to fucking do that at all it was it was 19 or 20 factors I could have got a job leave I'm capable man don't let me fucking bullshit yeah I don't have a college educated I don't use big words but you take me into your office and you give me a week or two and I'll figure out what the fuck you're doing and all that four
Starting point is 00:29:01 years of college you went to school for you're gonna go boy was i stupid you're following me i mean you really have to think of all the things you could do and learn on your own if you really have the desire to do it if you really want to be a fucking camera guy you know and okay joey but i only make two dollars a week at my sandwich place then you put away for 25 dollars and you get yourself a hundred and fifty dollar camera and you just start shoot you know what i'm saying when you really think about it. There's so many things that you really could be doing if you really wanted to do them. That's, I think that's the hardest part, though. And that when I say I have anxiety,
Starting point is 00:29:40 a lot of it comes from starting shit. Once I start something, I'm good. But I'll go back and forth. It started when I was a kid with homework. It continues now with my professional, a lot of professional stuff. I'll... Well, I'm going to tell you something. That's really funny. You mentioned homework. When I got out of Catholic school, you had a certain time. to do homework. So I was pretty much trained. Okay. You had a, I think you had like a five to six thirty was homework and then you ate dinner or you ate dinner and did homework. Don't quote me on this. I don't know exactly what the thing would.
Starting point is 00:30:11 So I went to sixth grade in North Bergen and in those days, I used since I had been brutalized to do homework between a certain aisle. I would do homework at night before I went to bed. Just because fuck them. Fuck the nuns. Fuck the nuns. Yeah. But then, when I was, I would have to do not. when I got left back. I always did my homework first and got it over.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Even those years I was at North Bergen and my mom had died and I would do acid with those guys after school. If I had a project, I would go to school early and do homework at school. Just go to the cafeteria, sit there by myself. I wouldn't even go to study because then people would see me. You know, if Lee got out of school, I think it was 238, and the last class went until 234. I used to go to school at 7, but I'd get out at 12, 15 every day
Starting point is 00:31:09 because I was part of the CIA work study program. So you got 15 credits to work. Oh, nice. Yeah. Getting out at noon every day? Yeah. So sometimes I would just call the lumberyard and go, I'm not going to be there until 3. I knew I was going to do acid that night.
Starting point is 00:31:28 So right at 12, 15, I'd get my books, and I'd run to the cafeteria. or somewhere that nobody could see me and I do my fucking homework and I just leave it in the locker. That's how organized I got. Even just getting the fact of getting left back, I never procrastinated it with schoolwork again. Even when I enrolled later on at Colorado Mountain College
Starting point is 00:31:49 and I started going to see you at night and all that shit, I never procrastinated homework and it still sticks with me today. Like this podcast sheet gets prepped Sunday. For the whole week? Yeah, except for the names for the shoutouts. Wow. Okay, everything gets programmed because I like my homework. You got to have homework.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And just get it done. Listen, you have a chance. We got to do something, do it and get it over it. Yeah. And I didn't learn that from fucking nobody. You know what I learned that on? Sanford and son. Fred Sanford told Lamont one time.
Starting point is 00:32:22 When you got to do something, do it and get it over it. That's why I call it work. It's not easy. They call it work. They call all this shit work for a reason. Do you ever, it's been going crazy in my mind. It's work. I was pretty lucky in school.
Starting point is 00:32:40 I would do the homework. But for tests and for all that stuff, really, I would study a little bit, maybe, but I could pretty much do nothing and get it be. And I really think it fuck with me. I think it hurt me in life. Because, and it's not like, it's not like my parents were sitting, like, oh, you're the best.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I'm sure they did that a little bit. it, but I honestly think me not having to put the work in back then has really held me back in work. Because I still sometimes take a long time to get started or I'll put something off. If I know I have until 3 o'clock on Thursday, I'll wait until 1.30 on Thursday rather than finishing it on Monday for no reason. It'll take me a few days to get started and stuff. In the meantime, I'll make notes.
Starting point is 00:33:30 And that's the excuse I'll give myself. So I'll make notes at least so when I sit down I could start doing whatever the fuck I got to do Taking care of the shit in front of you is so important Being on top of your schedule is so important And I could tell you this from not having a schedule to being on top of it It's two different fucking worlds Sometimes it's too creepy Like it's too creepy because you tell too much to your schedule
Starting point is 00:33:57 But it's not bad in a way because it makes you be more productive with your day Well, I would imagine it, and if you're going from no schedule to a schedule, you might overshoot a little bit and then just have to dial it back. Somewhere like a happy medium between being scheduled and then having some free time. I try to break everything into two hour chunks. Okay. I'll write for two hours. I'll do business for two hours. I'll go to Jitsu for two hours.
Starting point is 00:34:22 I'll come back and write for two hours. Then I'll talk to my wife for an hour, see what's going on with the house, look at the mail with her, talk to her about this or that. you know, you have to keep evolving. I can't sit at one place for that long. I know when I sit down in the morning, what I got to do on the computer. And there's times I'm doing four fucking things at once. That's the beauty of the computer.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I could be answering emails on Facebook, sending emails on hot mail, quitting the bitch and fucking answering g-mails. Yeah, absolutely. You know, it's so weird that's how I'm going to add a notebook in front of me. With the earphones on, listen to music. And the notebook has jokes, but the other notebook is the people I got to contact them why. And then on the back of that page, I write that I contacted them with the result and what happened.
Starting point is 00:35:17 This is all at once. So I'm juggling six fucking things. I'm on Facebook writing, suck my dick. It's Wednesday. Then I'm on YouTube blasting a song. Then I go over to fucking Hotmail. I answer this fucking Momo. Then I go over to Twitter and write that out.
Starting point is 00:35:32 and answer three people there and then from there I take that to the notebook and I go that dude just gave me a fucking joke by mistake and I write it down the notes and I try to make it funny and then on top of all that I look at the other notebook and I go holy shit I got to call Andrea. I think that's brilliant because here's here's an issue I have you've been you were big on me for a while to make sure you tweet and Facebook at least once a day like I'm trying to get better at it so in the mornings I sit down and I try to think about what I want to say but a lot of times if I'm stuck on what I want to say, I'll just sit there and do nothing.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And you've set it forever. I have to have two notebooks. Have a couple things open. Get up, take a shower. Once you're dead, you're dead. You're in no position to sit anywhere for a fucking hour. You're 26 years old. You can't sit there staring out into the world looking like a fucking mo-mo.
Starting point is 00:36:21 You've got to get up. Right there, when you stall, go in the shower. Right there, when you store, you should be hitting the balcony, hitting that pipe. Okay. And shooting into the shower. And by the time you get out of the shower, you'll have something to say. and you just did three birds at one stone. That's how productive you were, all in one fucking loop.
Starting point is 00:36:40 So you get up in the computer, go in the back, and put the hot water on only. That's it. Hot water on only. Close that fucking door. Go out to that backyard and hit that motherfucker tututs. Put that down and go in there now and put the cold water on so the fucking floor gets nice and hot for your feet. And now you get in there and you got steamed to open up your paws. and then you put the cold water on.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Fuck you and your drought. If it takes eight minutes to smoke the bowl, it takes eight minutes. If it takes ten seconds, whatever. It looks like fucking some hippie don't take a shower today. Big deal. He ain't missing water.
Starting point is 00:37:17 So by the time you go back in there and eight minutes, it's steamed. Right. You go in there, you get your fucking lufel. You could shave, do everything in one fucking shot. And usually, if you have the smoothie early, by the time you're doing the Twitter,
Starting point is 00:37:33 you got a shit. So now you smoke dope. You sit on the throne. It's steamy in there. The problem with hot air and shit is it thickens in there. It's not good. It lurks in there like a fucking herpes. It larks for a little while.
Starting point is 00:37:48 But you flush it. You give that fucking shit water. You let the hot water turn cold for a minute. And now you killed eight birds at once done. You fucking smoked, took a shit, made a smoothie. Wash out with shaved, shampoo. You put cream on your legs. You clean out your ears with the Q-tips.
Starting point is 00:38:03 You put vizine in your right. boss, nobody knows your fucking stone. You know, your glisterine, you know. This is all right there. By the time I get out of the shower, my clothes are on the fucking bed. Lee, I already got the clothes. On the way in to smoke, that's what I did. I took a pair of shorts out socks and I threw them across to the fucking bed.
Starting point is 00:38:23 That's productivity in your fucking day. I think multitasking has got a bad rap recently. It's a fuck. It's a fucking rap. It got a bad rap. Who? By fucking people who are lazy. That's not multitasking.
Starting point is 00:38:34 That's being productive. That's not going any direction without an empty hand. That's what that's called. Not making a move without an empty hand. Why am I making this move all the way over there without an empty hand for? What can I take to the fucking kitchen? This glass that's been sitting here for three fucking weeks? Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:52 So now I got a plan. As soon as I got up, I got a fucking plan. I'm going to go into that kitchen, eat whatever. Boom. Back to the bathroom, put the hot water on, out, smoke, go back. Shit, boom. By the time I get out, clothes, everything is ready to go. That's called productivity.
Starting point is 00:39:10 And if you can't do that in your house, how the fuck are you going to do it at work? Right. How are you going to do it at work? Who the fuck says multitasking is multitasking because I tell you what happens to people. A, they multitask without a list. Like my wife. They multitask without a lift, a list, or being prepared to that multitask. Why is the list so important?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Because it follows you. You follow to the blueprint. So it makes the multitask a lot fucking easier. What do you think? I could just juggle three fucking balls? No, but if I write every move, if I know every move when I get up, that multitask, I just saved fucking two hours of labor.
Starting point is 00:39:55 And is it because people get like, oh, I'm so busy. I can't spend 10 minutes and write a list, but that list wouldn't save them three hours? That list is what you do at night before you go to. bed or that morning while you're drinking your coffee. Again, you're multitasking. You're not just sitting there. You ever see people drink coffee and smoke a cigarette and look out into the horizon.
Starting point is 00:40:18 You know what's it on your balcony? No. I always wanted to see somebody just a bullet going to their head and they fall backwards. If you're sitting there, even the fucking, like, I didn't, listen, I don't know nothing about nothing, dog. I don't know nothing about nothing. But I didn't know one thing. When I started doing comedy, I would wake up in the morning, I'd be angry.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Okay. And sometimes I'd be sad, and sometimes I'd be anxious. I don't know. This happened like in 1994. And one day, I shopped with a notebook. I don't fucking know. And I woke up every morning, and I wrote Tuesday, June 21st. By this time, I wasn't even sharp enough to write.
Starting point is 00:41:00 It's a beautiful day to be a lot. I would say it to myself from time to time, but I didn't believe it, you know. And I would just write what I woke up with. Oh, my God, Lee, when you read that notebook a week later, you're just draining what's in there. Cut two, two years later, I'm dating this chick, and she's telling me about the writer's way or whatever. And that's what they're supposed to do in the morning. I didn't cheat. I didn't copy from them.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I was doing this two years before I met this fucking brother. So you just write all the thoughts that were on your head from the day before? Yeah. And those thoughts turn into your schedule. So how many thoughts you got? I want to fuck Paula. I got to take Philly to the cat. I got to do something about my mom and I got to do something about my dad.
Starting point is 00:41:45 You know, I got to do this. I got to do that. And then all of a sudden you ran another line and go, okay. What time is it? And you're still drinking your coffee. You're still drinking your coffee. Now, you already should have the anchors for you your day. You should have had an anchor in there written on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:42:03 there's got to be something in there for Thursday when you open up that notebook that you wrote it on Sunday it's got to be an anchor what if you have nothing what do you put down you better put down fucking you're gonna do something what the fuck are you gonna do you better put something down there's got to be something you can fucking do so even if it's on an appointment just do something
Starting point is 00:42:24 12 o'clock BJJ okay got it if there's nothing on that fucking last night but 12 o'clock BJJ and you put right one hour You could do that. And look around your room. There's got to be something you can fucking do to fix your desk or to make yourself more efficient. So if you don't have something, you give yourself something. From 9 to 5, you never have the power to watch TV.
Starting point is 00:42:47 That's for ammages. Eight to six, that's the fucking news. That's it. From 8 to 5, you better find something to fucking do. That's something everybody could do. How does this change when you're looking for a job? In which way? Because you don't necessarily have a full 9 to 5 schedule.
Starting point is 00:43:06 But I know there's a lot of people out there who are looking for jobs and are frustrated. There's a lot of people who, whenever you hear, look, the... How does this find... How does this look when you find the job? Yeah. If I was 26, I'd be up at 6 in the fucking morning every morning. Okay. I'd be up at 6 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Those websites, they work. But you got to take it a little deeper. Those guys get 2 million dollars in resumes a morning. They don't really have time to look at everybody. This is where people say, well, you need to have connections. No, you need to make connections. And how you make connections is by stop being fucking lazy. See where the office is.
Starting point is 00:43:41 See where the HR offices. Everybody has an HR office. Every fucking big corporation that you want to work today has to have a, what do they call that? Human Resources. Human Resources Office. I want to get down there. I want to know who makes the decisions and I ain't got time to email something. But they said don't come.
Starting point is 00:43:59 I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck with the. They tell you want a fucking job, right? Right. You got a show down there. Did you not read the memo? You're not supposed to come down here? No.
Starting point is 00:44:10 My brother Joey Diaz told me that they were looking and just come down and see somebody named Samantha. Who's Samantha? Right away, you got conversation. Right away, you got conversation. You just make up a name? Oh, yeah. My friend Peter Patelo told me to come down here and see Samantha. But wait a second.
Starting point is 00:44:27 How did you find out? I'm a college graduate. I've been looking for a job. You're just selling yourself back. You got one minute. it to talk talk talk you're a dummy you're not really a dummy i don't get i don't care i don't care if you're a fucking a chemist from harvard right there you're playing a dummy my friend mike jrera mike jr mike jesus told me he's a fucked up jew just start talking start talking i name is saranth i just want to drop

Starting point is 00:45:20 I was a worthless piece of shit at the age of 25 I couldn't be trusted I couldn't do nothing but that was one thing I could do was get a job fake references Names, guys, I can't do much. I'm telling you right now, if you listen to this podcast in the beginning, I was a plumber eight times, I was an electrician, I was a hard carrier, I was a carpenter's helper, I was a car salesman, I worked at a body shop,
Starting point is 00:45:50 I worked at the shoe store, I worked at Benegans, I was a fucking cook for two hours, you know, I worked at gas stations, I worked at the fucking meat place. Guys, do you understand me? I'm a fucking stiff. But what kept me alive was the ability to walk into these motherfuckers' office, and you got one minute to sell yourself. Did you just see what I just did, looking for Samantha? Who's Samantha?
Starting point is 00:46:16 The lady who hired is here? You mean Rebecca? Oh, there you go. I didn't even do nothing. And do you do, like, the thing where you don't answer their questions. Do you just keep talking? Because, like, I would get nervous. Like, oh, oh, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:29 You're not going to keep talking. I mean, like, a fucking moron. Sorry about that, people. You're not going to keep talking like a fucking moron, but you're going to keep talking that you're panicking, a little panic, you're embarrassed. This is really embarrassing you. You were told something,
Starting point is 00:46:44 and that's not the case. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I am flabbergasted. Nikki Toledo told me to come here and give Samantha. This is after you know it's Rebecca. Okay? This is even after you know it's Rebecca.
Starting point is 00:47:01 You drop another. Samantha honor and now she tells you the last name you mean Samantha Cochran yeah okay there you go oh my god you got a website info you got an email on the website here you go but if you don't do that seat and now you're going you're listening going Joey that's not going to get you the job it's not but if you do 10 of those you got a better chance of just clicking that thing on the internet i worked for a pretty big production company this guy just walked in around the office park one day with resumes and he got hired. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:35 It turned out he was an idiot. Because we've forgotten. Well, that idiot knows how to get a job. I just told you. He got the job. Yeah. By you're at home fascinating over your degree and what your parents paid and the loans you took and you're feathering your asshole. You've got to really think about what you're qualified for, and especially in today's economy.
Starting point is 00:47:54 So you got to lower your standards a little bit and you got to do shit that they might not be able to do. Listen, I just told you this story about human. resources from what I've heard. Yeah. You know, when I was going to places, you dealt with a manager. Okay. So, Lee Syrac calls me up, and he says, listen, Joey, they're looking for my sister works at the Sheridan Center. They're looking for bartenders for the front.
Starting point is 00:48:21 No shit. Okay. What do you do, Lee? What do I do? I go and I try to find a manager who's working, probably during off hours. So I can introduce myself and try to get a job. The manager, you're going to go to HR. For bartender, I would probably go to, I would think, manager.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Go to the manager first. Okay, but eight, you're... Maybe become friends at the bartender. Maybe go work the bartender first. Go and get a soda because he could be the manager. Give it nice tip. No, just talk to him. How you doing this?
Starting point is 00:48:58 Can I ask you a question? Again, I just worked at fucking this place for, eight years. I'm looking for a job. My friend Nicky Delugo. Who's Nicky DeLugo? I have no idea. Doesn't really matter who he is. Nine of the ten times people look at you and go, oh yeah. I know Nick
Starting point is 00:49:17 and you're sitting there going. Because they don't want to be embarrassed and forget somebody? Yeah. So you don't have an idea. Just make up a name. Pete Rose. Really? Oh my God. I love Pete. Listen, you guys looking for part-time. I love to work here. I'm really good with crowd. Whatever. Now, listen, come back and
Starting point is 00:49:35 three three there you go there you go you give the guy the friend now when you walk in he's gonna go over and said this guy worked at the regency hotel for six years he knows backwards how do you know because he came in here early looking for you and he tip looking at look how's nice his shoes are shined you're looking for a job if you're looking for a job making eight dollars an hour you don't have to shine your shoes well if you're looking for a job making over sixty thousand dollars a two hundred fifty thousand dollars your shoes better get chined every time you leave the house because I'm a bum from the street and that's the first thing I look at. Really? You look at shoes. First thing I look at. If you don't have time to shine two
Starting point is 00:50:11 pieces of fucking thing, why would I want you working for me? And we've spoken about it before, but that's weird in this town. LA's like, you know, you never dress up for job interviews here. That's why you don't get the job. Right. Well, you know, I would agree with you mostly, but in LA, I've been to places where people, like, laugh at people who dress up here. You have to half dress. You have to half-dress. You have to half-ass. You have to half-ass. dress okay you're not gonna wear a suit with a fucking tie to you know but a light jacket with a shirt that's open and shiny shoes with a belt that matches the shoes just something to let them know you know you can't get a ten thousand
Starting point is 00:50:59 dollar check with a ten dollar presentation did you see that special we shot First of all, the special, my materials suck, my timing sucked. But the first thing that sucked was what our man Larry said, the wardrobe. I look like a bum from the street. Now, in my personal life, I like to look like a bum from the street. I don't want people to get confused. I'm not that guy. I'm not going to put on a Versace's suit and walk around to make you feel bad.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Okay. Okay, I am who the fuck I am. I got, you know how many pairs of new Adidas I got in my fucking closet? Up in the top shelf? How many? Four. Brand new in the box I get from Amazon. Look at the ones I got on.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Hold, yeah. Okay. My socks are clean. My shorts are brand new. The T-shirts, I just bought at the Fat Man Store. But do you understand, I don't ever want to give people an illusion that I'm, and I don't need to dress in a fucking polyester suit or whatever. I got suits.
Starting point is 00:51:54 I got shirts. But when you go for a job, okay, last fucking Monday. I went to meet with these guys. I know these guys. I went to meet them at arts. Okay. You know what I had on? What do you have on?
Starting point is 00:52:09 A pair of jeans, a little hole in the back pocket, a t-shirt with these sturdy sneakers. Do you know what? I was supposed to leave the house at fucking 9-10, at 9-15. I was putting on iron jeans with a nice shirt I just got and brand-new Adidas. I put my rings on. I put my chain on.
Starting point is 00:52:27 I put my head through down there. You know what? I'm doing that show tomorrow night, and I got a meeting with time. next Tuesday. Because if you don't feel good, and guys, I didn't know this till later on either. But if you don't feel good,
Starting point is 00:52:42 you're not going to fucking... Yeah, how different did you feel from the... Tremendous. I had the confidence of a thousand. You know, I went there looking like Charles Bronson, I'm going to go to that dress like Charles Bronson. Why? Who am I, Charles Bronson?
Starting point is 00:52:55 No. You got to dress nice. And even if they're dressed like fucking bums, you dress a little better than them and you're out dressing. If your sneakers are white and cloth. You know if your pants are ironed if you don't have a stain I had a stain on my shirt and I had it a special Right yeah a stain on my shirt. Do you know what that's like? Just take that film and burn it I mean the film those guys ain't never gonna send it back. There's been eight months
Starting point is 00:53:20 Right yeah They won't clean it up and send it back to you in a month that's never gonna fucking I knew how to get a job even today when I go to audition for a movie I'm not better than half of these guys look at my face look like a fucking bus hit it But when I walk in there, Jack, I don't give a Frenchman's fuck. I know my lines. I've done it 18 times where I walk around. I know exactly how I would answer the door, how I would turn the light bulb off,
Starting point is 00:53:50 what a hand I would do it with. That shows me prepared, man. Did I fucking know this at 22? I knew half of it. I knew half of it. How long did it take for the rest of the half to come in? 20 years. I have to give you credit, man.
Starting point is 00:54:08 I brought donuts to an appointment I had yesterday. And it fucking... Okay. So... It fucking blew the room out. Okay. See, you could have been a real douchebag. I mean, listen.
Starting point is 00:54:18 That... I think I mentioned that last week. The guy around here with the convertible... I see a convertible BMW. I see a fucking douchebag. Yeah. All right. But I see a...
Starting point is 00:54:28 I see a nice guy. Okay. Now, I'm against this, too. Guys, in fact, next week, when I come back, I got to really take care of it. living in that fucking thing over there with those trees destroys my car. I can't wash my car enough.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Then I get in there with the karate fucking... Listen, at Jiu-Jit-2, I always take my pants off in the underwear and I dry and I wipe my ass. Then I put my shorts on. That's how fucking particular I had about that. I never go in that fucking thing with rotten ass. Yesterday, it was so hot that I actually went in there. My t-shirt was still wet, and it was a brand-new t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:55:02 It was amazing. So today I took it to get clean, and I washed it, and I hand-washed it. It and the whole thing and I'm looking at the fucking car and I'm like how many fucking birds of shit in this thing? You know? Right. That's it. I got to turn it anyway. My wife's got to turn her and my wife's going to fucking kill me with that lease. So it doesn't really matter, but the point of situation is you have a nice call. Yeah. Tell them what you drive. I had Volkswagen Jenna. Okay. Some people are sitting there going VW. Fuck you leave. It's a cheap car. A fuck you. That car sparkles. So here's Lee pulling up with his little VW. Now Lee could have been an asshole.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Lee could have been, what's the word people use when you're a fucking fake fuck? You could have gone and got lattes from Starbucks. Because I love this tea from Africa. And you know what? It's funny. Someone when I went and asked me, are those from Sprinkles? Like the cupcake place that's $20 for $4. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Fuck you and Sprinkling. These are handmade from some badass men. Mexican motherfuckers that don't fuck around. Oh, yeah. It's amazing. But you know what, Lee? You set your mark and you enforced it. You went in there with the donuts you believed that were good.
Starting point is 00:56:20 You had your suit on. You walked in there with confidence. It was just a couple things that gave you that comment. Listen, just because you don't have confidence or you don't think you have confidence, there's things you could do that get you so excited that the confidence comes naturally. Did you notice that yesterday? Oh, yeah, as soon as they got excited. There you go.
Starting point is 00:56:41 And when I say I don't have any confidence, I'm miss speaking, I think if you listen to episode number one of this, that would be more. Well, nobody has confidence. Everybody. It seems like you do. When I was a kid, I was a half a fagger. I had a hit in the head with a lunchbox that changed me for who I am. PTSD and full effect, you know what I'm saying? If anybody got PTSD as me, that lunchbox hit me and changed me forever, I started eating meat and shit and chicken delivered.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Before that was a half a fucked up kid, man. My dad died. But confident sometimes is a new pair of shoes. Yeah. Is your shirt ironed? Is your hair trimmed? My fucking fingers are fucking disgusting. Next week we're both going for fucking manicures.
Starting point is 00:57:31 I can't finger bank confidently. I looked at my fingers about two weeks ago. I'm like, who would let me finger these? I don't have fungi nail. I don't have the Mickey Rourke fingers. The fingers of death, you ever see Mickey Rourke's fingernails? No.
Starting point is 00:57:43 He's got what I got on my toe on his fingernail. Oh, no. He's got fungi nail on his toes, on his hands. That's not good. I have just fucking fingernails that, you know, I've had chlamydia on these fingers. This fingernail had the herp. This one had fucking.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Each one of the different. Oh, please. These fankin hands are disgusting. I looked at them the other than my hands are still soft. You know, I put cream on him and shit. But look at these, you know, you can't get a nice job with dirty things. My finger's not dirty people. My cuticles are out.
Starting point is 00:58:13 They're not, what do you call that? When you polish them, whatever, when you put the fucking thing on them, you know, you file them. This fucking morning. I don't know what those. You're looking at me. Did anyone else know what that, man? Sure. Listen, you want a job making $60,000.
Starting point is 00:58:29 You can't walk in there with dirty fucking hands. There's little things that different people look at. There's nothing that grosses me up more than finger. Long fingernails. If you finger everybody has their own private idol. Long fingernail. Why take the chance? Let's pretend I don't give a fuck of your shoes or clown shoes, but your hands better be sharp.
Starting point is 00:58:47 I had a friend told me that he wouldn't hire anybody unless they had a watch. How's that one for you? That's fucked up. I don't care. I don't wear a watch. He was a fucking general manager. I'm an accounting firm in Jersey. I knew this guy forever.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Talk to him to about eight years ago. He married. He moved to fucking Nantucket. It's over. But he told me. At every fucking, he goes, I've never been, every one of his employees lasted over 20 years because he always made sure they had to watch.
Starting point is 00:59:15 If somebody came into an interview without a watch, he would not hire him. How fucking, that's racism. That's prejudice, you don't even know. I've never had, I've had watches. I just can't put them on. I was looking at a watch I had the other day. It's so many little things when you're trying to look for a job.
Starting point is 00:59:32 But guess what, Lee? anything beats sitting there and pressing that button and really thinking that somebody's going to contact you. Now, a lot of people on going, Joey, you're completely wrong. I got a job offline. I didn't say that. I'm just saying I'm upping your eyes a little bit. If I see a fucking joke that I really want, do you have any idea? You get excited about it?
Starting point is 01:00:01 Oh, my God. When I was a kid, I'd look at that paper every day. I was one of those people that had a job, and after about a week, I'm like, there's got to be something better. Maybe I'll be a dry wall. And I would quit this, and I would get an apprenticeship with a drywall company, 30 days, eight bucks an hour after you go up to 12. You know, I knew how to fucking wrap these people, because people always want to teach.
Starting point is 01:00:27 Okay? So that's how I would always get a job in construction. Because people, people like teaching their craft? I set them up. I don't lease I had Joey Dias. Listen, I really want to be a, I'm looking for the job as a hard carry. Have you ever been a hot carry before?
Starting point is 01:00:44 Not really. But my father, his uncle, was a hot carry. He told me what I had to do. I had to mix sand, 16 scoops into each bag of concrete. I got to have your brick ready for you. Why do you want to be a hotie, Lee? You're going to school. You know what?
Starting point is 01:00:58 I really don't want to go to school. I like brick. I've always been interested in brick. And everybody says you're the best brick. You're the best brick mason. So let's make a deal. Let's do this. Instead of paying me 10, pay me 8, and teach me your course.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Teach me what you know. Eight out of 10 people will hire you because you just paid them a tremendous compliment. You told them they were the best and you wanted to learn from them. That person's going to hire you. Even if you don't know, if you've never heard about this guy before. And even if they don't hire you, maybe they'll tell someone else. Yeah. Like that's a big thing.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Like when people say connections, I think it's just you meet people. Guys, I was in San Francisco. I had no fucking, I walked into a biggest Mexican restaurant looking for a bartender job. The guy gave it to the sheet to another guy. The guy looked at it. He took me aside. He goes, you know, my name is Jose Diaz, and I'm Cuban too. And we started talking.
Starting point is 01:01:49 He goes, if you want to wait a couple weeks, I'll give you a job. But I get your job right now. Right now, go to Rock and Robbins on Haydashbury. Boom, I got a fucking job. You know what time I walked into that place that morning? What time? $7.59. I knew it opened at 11.
Starting point is 01:02:04 But in those days, it didn't matter if the fucking place opened at 11 or 12. I made myself leave the house at 7.30. That's the other part of leaving of getting a job. There are so many fucking aspects that you have to do. And that's the number one on fucking any list that you see. You either got an A, be up early and get a jump on the morning, or B, get the fuck out of the house. Both of those are the most important thing in your fucking day.
Starting point is 01:02:33 And you ask Trump, you ask anybody who's made, fortunes in this fucking nobody sleeps past fucking six they want to be up they want to be alive they want to be kicking not only that you want to be moving at eight o'clock i want to be i want to ask you a fucking history question and i expect you to fucking say the whole thing bound by bound 1696 that's how clear-headed you are because even if you're not you have to make yourself that way so it has nothing to do with like them or the other people getting being there first you just for you you want to be at attention, as you say, like right away. It's all the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:03:10 That's what you don't have confidence. Get up at six. You'll have confidence. You'll have confidence because you'll talk yourself into the confidence by the time you walk into the guy's fucking office at 10 o'clock to ask him for a job or her for a job. Everything, man. Everything is based on enthusiasm. I could tell when I'm enthusiastic about the set or I could tell when you saw at the
Starting point is 01:03:35 comedy stole last Tuesday when I died dead. I didn't want to be there. I was half dead. On Tuesdays, I'm still fucking dead. And you can't sec yourself up into it? Sometimes you can. You know me? Nine and a half out of ten times. I psyched myself up to go into the mouth of the
Starting point is 01:03:51 fucking deline. I don't give a fuck. But that was that one percentage that night. And then for those people who don't want to get out of bed or whatever, it's tough then. It's even harder. Listen, there's a big, There's a word that I always have in the back of my mind.
Starting point is 01:04:13 You know, you grow up. I have a daughter. I look at my daughter. I see that girl from Marie ETC. Okay, she's 16, whatever the fuck she is. Not the best-looking kid in the world, but a heart of gold. She was goofing with us the other day.
Starting point is 01:04:31 My wife made a fucking remark, because that's how my wife is, and Becky giggled, whatever. I didn't think it was funny because I thought of her as my daughter anyway. I go over to the jit-to there she is again. She's the fucking waitress over there. These are these kids that are fucking working, you know?
Starting point is 01:04:47 I'm so high. I forgot my point, Lisa. The waitress at Marie-T. No, I know, I know. Like, you know. Oh, not wanting to get out of bed? Not wanting to get out of bed. Now you see a kid like this.
Starting point is 01:04:57 At this kid's 16, 17, she got two fucking jobs. She knows the way of the world. I don't know what her parents do, but the parents are preparing her. And they made it take a bus. I saw it get off the Magnolia bus. Okay? That means she goes right from Marie E.T. Straight to fucking victory in Magnolia.
Starting point is 01:05:14 You know what I'm saying? On the way the flappers? Right, yeah. That's the education of a lifetime for that child. That child's going to be independent. Do I have the balls to do that with Mercy? Not in a million fucking years. I think she'll have a job at 15, 16.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Listen, no, no, you're not getting the point. Okay. Do I have the fucking, do I want to be on victory and get out into my car and see Mercy getting out of a fucking ball? bus at 15, 16. Right. Not in a million years, but guess what? For her to succeed in this life, she has to do those little things at that age.
Starting point is 01:05:46 That gives college a better taste. That gives so many fucking things a better taste. You know, like it tastes a lot better if you have your own money at that time. I wasn't achievers kid, but I was moving around at 16, Jack. And when I mean moving around, I was moving around. I was taking buses into the city. I was going on the bus with Greg Horrenda, the five-star basketball camp. You know, in the eighth grade, in the eighth grade, we took a bus to see the New Jersey Nets in Piscataway.
Starting point is 01:06:14 We had to take a bus to New York first. They had a connecting bus to fucking Piscataway. I knew my way around there. When I was a sophomore in high school, when I was a freshman in high school, we'd all take buses down the shore. 16 of us. I knew how to get my way around, you know. I want my daughter to have the same. Tonight she was threatening to leave.
Starting point is 01:06:36 So she took my computer back. Yeah. Yeah, she took my computer bag. She filled it up with t-shirts. I asked her if she had tickets. I gave her a dollar bill. And when I left, she was sitting waiting for the bus on the balcony of my wife. My wife actually got the press.
Starting point is 01:06:53 I'm like, she's fucking. It's a game, Terry. I ran away a thousand times with Oreos. She was running away. She had no food. Who's picking you up? She made up some name Kristen's picking me up. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:04 My cousin Kristen's picking out. But you, I don't understand. What I'm seeing more and more what I hear more and more. Hey, listen, the other thing is there's not that many jobs guys No, especially because you said lowering your Well, listen, there's people who are taking lower jobs and they're there's a lot of kids that come out of college and they're very sharp I don't know what the percentage is that they already have you know built Dot com companies coming out of college or whatever they figure out a way to make a living There's a lot of people that have to get a job for us to figure out what the fuck they want to do
Starting point is 01:07:38 you know, because just because you get a job to be a fucking editor, don't mean you want to be an editor when you got out. It's the same way. You know, you still like editing and stuff, and you're still very good at it, but it's different than what you thought or whatever. It doesn't matter. Right, and I thought I knew what I wanted to do.
Starting point is 01:07:54 I thought I did. It turned out not to be the case. How many fucking kids, you think that happens? I think it happens to a lot of kids who had, like, they just quit. Like, if I hadn't met you, I probably would be editing and I'd be happy-ish. But it's, I think a lot of people who will go and just abandon what they went and got their major.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Like there's people now who went to law school who aren't going to be lawyers, Paul says. Like they'll just be like a professor or something else, which is great for them, I guess. But I can't imagine putting all of that work and time and money and just abandoning it. So wait a second. Yeah. You could go to law school, not take the bar. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:41 And you just learn all that information. Yeah, you have a degree, but it just, it's not, you don't have to get registered as a lawyer. I never fucking knew that. You should go. I mean, not exactly where you have the time, but, you know, there's a lot of people who do that, apparently. It would take me six years to get my law degree. And by that time, I'm 59, I can't be a constantly lady through a crime family. Why not?
Starting point is 01:09:07 There's an age limit? Well, by that time, you're out of the fucking system, you know what I'm saying? You don't know what the fuck's going on. So I don't know what the fuck to tell you, Lee. These stars are all right, but the reef is better. Let me give some shoutouts here. Unbelievable. Tuesday night, we're here.
Starting point is 01:09:22 We're hanging out. Lee Syatt. Just regular conversation, too, guys. You know, I love to be filled in on what goes on. I don't know what goes on. And I know that, you know, I know those are my strengths. It's getting a fucking job. I've always been able to fucking put one together doing something.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Bruce McKenna, Anthony Kelly, Ben Grimes, Eric Portwood, Ryan Jacobs, Brendan Baham, Matt Moe, and as always, my main man, Dave Christensen.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Him and Pugsley up in North Carolina. No, what were you saying? I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. Oh, no, that's just the guy you gave the shout out to. Um, I,
Starting point is 01:10:10 I think my lack of confidence, though, it will go in different ways. Like, when I went, when I went to college, it freaked me out that people would knock on your door. I don't like that. Like, I don't like, I'm not a very social person. I don't know. I don't know, man. How many people lack it on my door either? No, sometimes I don't even move.
Starting point is 01:10:33 I just sit there. It depends. It depends. It depends on point of your life you're in. I don't know, like friends. I don't like friends drop. and buy gives me things. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:44 You said, told me a couple months ago that, like, you notice that I, I live alone. And it's true. It's absolutely true. I, it's not that I don't like people,
Starting point is 01:10:56 but I don't. You pay the premium to have your space. Some people have, listen, some people, when you're young, you're 20, you're like, yeah, sure,
Starting point is 01:11:06 what the fuck, I live with Lee for fucking 8,250, a month and Joey and also you go take a shit and there's three fucking shits in there before you nobody's flush the toilet the showers a mess you go get that steak sandwich you brought home it's gone the kitchen's got mice in it the living room has beer can you know you everybody establishes that one relationship we've all had it and you last either a week or a year I think I lasted like two fucking weeks then I had a decent roommate for a while that there was always kitchen was clean
Starting point is 01:11:38 that was great. I could have still been living with him because we laughed our asses off every night and we smoked dope and we both watched the same stupid movies and then at the other night he had a girlfriend that come he'd go into one room
Starting point is 01:11:50 at that time I didn't have a girlfriend I'd go into the other, listen to them fuck and I'd have bang one out and I'd go to sleep, that's it. But then there's people but if it wasn't him, I couldn't have somebody else.
Starting point is 01:12:04 I know how I am. I know the type of person I am. Even my wife. My wife creeps up on me from time to time. It drives me fucking crazy. But my issue isn't really with, like, it is sometimes with that. But, and I still, I do something that's really, I don't think I've ever told anyone. Like, when I, if I leave a room and I close a door, I sit there, I'm like, I, like, what are they going to say about me?
Starting point is 01:12:30 Like, that's always my main mentality. Even in the house by yourself? Not in the house by myself. If this has happened by yourself, what's going on with you? I wake up this morning. sprinklers on your face are you fucking losing it over here these stars killing you you need another star anyway you're like they killing you let me get you know yeah let me get you know what I have seven man I'm on your hand I'm gonna head you're the master disaster
Starting point is 01:12:59 Lisa yeah yeah there you go no I don't do it at the house alone like if I leave like a a room with people in it. A room with people? Yeah. Like if I leave kettlebells. Okay. I'll wait outside the door. I'm like, I just close the door and I expect to hear them saying like, he was terrible.
Starting point is 01:13:20 He's the worst. I hate him. Like I just, I don't know what it is. My brain's crazy. I'm really. Well, I think they say that naturally anyway. Yeah, probably. When I walk around, I'm like, oh, these people fucking don't like me.
Starting point is 01:13:32 But who gives a fuck? That's not the confidence thing. That's just maybe an insecurity thing. Which I have also. I know exactly how it feels to walk around. I just don't put my ear to the door and go, are they saying something? I don't put my ear, but I'll sit there for like 10 seconds. Just be like, hmm, okay, no, okay.
Starting point is 01:13:53 You're a young man. You work hard. You sleep. You're not a criminal by any means. You know, I mean, you're no fucking Clark Gable. You know, what's the guy who crashed in the Fast and the Furious? Oh, um. I mean, you know, Paul Walker.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Yeah. You know, Elvis Presley. I mean, but you're a handsome little fellow. Thank you, sir. A girl called me cute in my building today. That's right. You're a little cute little fucking little dude. So you have no reason to not be confident.
Starting point is 01:14:30 You know, even if you had one eye, you've got to be confident. Have you ever seen anybody that you look at and they have like something physical like myself with the scars or you see another girl like with the red thing on their eyes? that pink on their eyes or you see somebody who's maybe missing a few fingers. Have you ever seen that confidence? Bro, I live next to a girl with no legs. And she, our elevator went out for a couple weeks. They put her in a hotel, but I saw her one day when she came back. She pushed herself up three flights of stairs.
Starting point is 01:15:05 She's amazing. And the confidence, when she walks up to you. Yeah. Shoulders up, shoulder's back. You don't know. You can't really believe that she's doing that. Do you know what I'm saying? You can't really believe that she has that confidence with what is going on in her life.
Starting point is 01:15:29 I've always looked at those people and said, why is that beautiful girl able to walk around with that scar on her face with it, like if it's not on their face? And that's the beauty. I hate when I see somebody who's overweight that you could see is fucking dead like they're sad inside. You ever see them?
Starting point is 01:15:50 They're looking down to like fucking mopes. You know, they're stuck. They're going home at night and they can't stop eating ramen or they can't stop eating something that's really unhealthy for them, you know? It goes back to the clothing thing. When you're that big,
Starting point is 01:16:05 and all you're wearing is Jim shorts and T-shirts. You're like, eh. Oh, my God. It's just a horrible feeling. And then the dawn on you, you know, like we talked about change, like with the comedy. Change is the toughest fucking thing because we think that we might get on to something. You know, Lee, if I go to the gym once a week, I don't know. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:16:31 Oh, well, maybe you might meet somebody nice stuff. No, I'm talking about what could happen from, you know? But that's how it starts. And all of a sudden you go there and you can't believe that this thing. changed you in the way. Like comedy changed me. It took 25 fucking years. It took 15 years, but it changed me. It got me married. It got my life back together. It got me another chance of being a dad. You know, comedy did all that. I stuck it out with it. You got to stick it out with shit. You know, everybody, it doesn't come like just like that. It comes over time and it gets hard.
Starting point is 01:17:13 There's bumps and there's rallies, whatever the fuck. But you go through them, and that's what all of a sudden, you're there. You've arrived where you wanted to be. But I wish it happened. Listen, I wish we had millions of fucking downloads, people in India, listen to us, you know, whatever the fuck it is. But you know what? That's not the way it is. And I'm not angry.
Starting point is 01:17:36 I'm very fortunate for people listen to us. I knew this going in, but we stuck with it. You know, I got a call from two people yesterday. Hey, I want you to come on my new podcast. New podcast. How many fucking podcast do you got? Right. Everybody's got a new fucking podcast.
Starting point is 01:17:54 For a few weeks. It's tough, yeah. And it's like, Lee and I have banged it out over whatever time. Listen, today, I almost didn't do this podcast. Really? At 5.30, I wasn't feeling it. You've never, I don't think you've ever once done that. No.
Starting point is 01:18:08 It's almost 400 episodes. Why do you do that? I didn't feel good this morning. Last night was on the weirdest nights I've had in a long fucking time. In what way? It was hot yesterday, guys. Real hot. And in the daytime, I moved around a lot, and there was a period there where I couldn't stop sweating.
Starting point is 01:18:32 Like I was outside and stuff. I went in, I took a shower, cold water, put new clothes on, bam. That was fine. And I went into the bathroom. And, oh, my God, Lee, I thought I was in a diner sauna. Oh, because the bathroom was so much. I was in there taking a dump. I didn't want to say that, but I'm in there fucking six, seven minutes.
Starting point is 01:18:51 I'm like, Jesus. I don't like opening up the door. The door is three. So then I go outside to do a joint thing, a periscope. And again, I mean, it's blazing out there, guys. The phone almost melted. So I go inside, blah, blah, blah, blah. My wife goes to bed first.
Starting point is 01:19:13 She pops out a lot of way and says I can't sleep in there. It's just too warm. And I'm like, let me go in there and reach it. I got sure enough, the windows three inches up. I closed that. I closed the curtains. I point the fucking things towards the bed. I pour the blanket down.
Starting point is 01:19:30 I pour the fucking blanket down. There's no blanket tonight. It's going to be a sheet. She goes, I'm just going to sleep in the baby's room. Done. I went in there, and I hit the crib of the bar. Fucking a quarter to 11, Jack. Bam.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Don't even remember falling asleep. I wake up around three. And I walk, and it's not hot. but it's not quite cold yet it's cool nobody's sweating but it's not what i'm used to you know what i'm saying not three in the morning so i go out i pee and right of way i just don't feel right not like i'm gonna faint or not like i'm gonna die and nothing like that something i try to tap into the cats they're sleeping i told it was the cats i thought it was the cats i thought the cats were out there hearing at each other they're fucking sleeping so i'm like what is this fucking weird
Starting point is 01:20:17 feeling out here. So I finally put the robe on. I went outside. I drank some water. After a few minutes, I went outside. I smoked a few bowls. That'll be 3.30 in the morning. I'm out there that cough and sparking like a savage. I go back in and I turn the TV on. Don't ask me what was on. Dog, I go back on there at 4 in the morning. It's freezing. The air conditioner was a full blast. I know how to maneuver the air conditioning. My wife don't know how to fuck around with it. There's ways to do different things. I've been working air conditioners all my life.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Yeah, that's why I need the essential year. I slept straight till 7.30, got up, had a smoothie, walked her, did a few things, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I was tired, man. I just didn't feel good. Hit the crib, got up, did some few things again, went back and actually fell asleep again, to a 4-45. So something's going on. Either I'm sick or something's not right.
Starting point is 01:21:24 I had a little rash the other day. Maybe it's ringworm. What the fucking was what this is? There ain't no fucking ringworm. I don't even know what to tell you. That's fucked out. So I was tired. The point being that I got up, I had no appetite.
Starting point is 01:21:39 I went outside, I smoked a little bit, then I got a little appetite I ate. And then after that I said You know what I can't can't because tomorrow there's no way I can't fit it in nowhere I'm from coast to coast My day starts tomorrow at fucking 930 Jack I got some stupid conference call
Starting point is 01:21:57 And I'm the chain, jiu-jitsu drone Boom come back I got a fucking head cut Then from there I had to cancel a fucking dinner So I'm gonna go see a thing at 6 From 6 to 7 It's like let's shoot to the improv And do the living room show
Starting point is 01:22:13 what the fucking, where they don't serve booze, whatever that is. The lab. The lab. Do they serve booze or they don't? I've never been there. What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:22:21 Where you've been? I don't know. They closed it for a while. Okay. You never went there to see this is not happening, taping? Well, by the time I got to see this is not happening, it was in the big room.
Starting point is 01:22:29 There's in the big room. Yeah. So that's what I got to do, so I have no time. Then tomorrow night, Philly, here I come. Rose pork.
Starting point is 01:22:43 Maybe? A rose pork sandwich? No? I don't know. I don't know what I'm going to eat. You got a plan, man. I don't know what's on my neighborhood. I don't know what a hotel I'm going to stay at.
Starting point is 01:22:53 I'm not worried about it. I'm really not worried about it. I don't want no problem or nothing. Would you eat roast pork if you got five sold-out shows? Why take the chance? You need the energy. No, the pork ain't going to give me the energy. Well, if that pork is rotten, then I can't do those five shows.
Starting point is 01:23:12 You follow them? There's no fish the first night. There's none of that. You be very lean the first night. I'll make a protein shake. I'll make my wife make like chicken coutlets. I'll take a few chicken coutlets with me. I'll drink some water at the hotel just to get my bacterials going for the fucking area.
Starting point is 01:23:31 You pack chicken cullets? Sometimes for the flight. You got to pull out of chicken cullet from time to time to throw people off. That sucks. You can't put ketchup on it. You can't bring ketchup and they really think you're fucking crazy. Yeah, tomorrow night, but they'll make chicken coltlets with mashed potatoes. I'll eat a few for breakfast, bring two on the plane with me.
Starting point is 01:23:50 I want to be around. Oh, yeah. I'm a chicken-collar type of motherfucker. They always bread in my day. Now, that gives me confidence. A nice chicken cutlet, cold. You put some salt and pepper on, a little ketchup and just eat it walking around. Nobody knows what's going on.
Starting point is 01:24:07 ketchup? Oh, my God. And you smear it with the fork into little valleys and the chicken cut. Tell it. What the fuck you think you're dealing with a way? You want to go, you fucking... That can't be allowed. Kind of fries.
Starting point is 01:24:19 For all the rules you have, you can't be smearing ketchup on... Tremendous. It's a light smear. I don't dope it up. That's too much sugar. You just get a light smear just to throw the chicken off. For years, you've been eating that shit mixed with mayonnaise at Burger King and all those other places. I don't mix the mayonnaise with the ketchup.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Cetchup goes straight. I don't fucking... Even when I do make... the mayonnaise sandwich. I put mayonnaise and I saved ketchup. You never mix mayonnaise and ketchup. That's McDonald's and all those fucking chains. That's how you're at.
Starting point is 01:24:53 That's how you make the meat sauce. You didn't know that? Why can't you mix it, though? Because that's for animals. You don't want to mix mayonnaise and fucking ketchup and put it on your cheeseburger. I told you that I was putting mayonnaise on my burger and I told my mom and both of you yelled at me.
Starting point is 01:25:09 Oh, yeah, because you're a savage. That's why you poison your dad. He's probably coming with his canteen. He's ready to go down and shit. No one got poison. Nobody puts mayonnaise on their burgers. They do the Wendy's. That's why I was it.
Starting point is 01:25:23 Because they're fucking idiots. Who would eat a burger at fucking Wendy's and get sick? You would. I know. I've never once gone food poisoning. Yes, you do. You don't know it. You don't fucking know what happens.
Starting point is 01:25:35 Those things sit in your stomach and they start eating away your bacteria.
