Starting point is 00:04:02 I don't know. He was gay, though, man. JP, baby. I used to have the hat, Judas Priest, and the whole thing. But all those years, I went to see him. The first three or four times I went to see him. It was a movie theater.

This fool had all the Iron Maiden album, bro. He had, and he was a little nerdy kid, a little dirty kid. But I was his friend, he was Felipe, you know, I have Iron Maiden albums. Yeah? So I went to his house, bro, and we played
Starting point is 00:05:01 every album, man. Run to the hills and all that shit. How many hours is the other one? Just one? I think just that first one, killers, right? Because the rest of it's Bruce Dickinson. Bruce Dickinson's first. Run to the hills. Yeah, and then I, because, I mean, the only one I really know is peace of mind. Then they had like, you know, son of the seven son and shit, but all those fucking, you know, I was too. I was gone. by that I was strong to blow on I don't need the seven son I brought us pay Pabiano comes on tour and does that whole record killer live on the home band still gave a hell too many came I that that's the album I was like what the Indians
Starting point is 00:05:35 getting chased well yeah man run to the hill no that's the number of the beast that's the second out man we had we had this crazy teacher named mr. roots in English class and that he said everybody bring your favorite album and And then this crazy long hair dude from the Stoner's 13, he brought an Iron Maiden number of the Beast. And the first song we played was The White Man Came. Man, we broke down that album, and he was like an old school hippie teacher from Ken High School where they shot that kid at that Kent University in Ohio. Yeah, he was there. He was at that college.
Starting point is 00:06:08 So he was hardcore Chicano, Mr. Root, and he broke down the white man came across the sea, dude. We only had one white kid in the class, but Paul. He was a white kid named Paul And then every time he kept selling a story About the Indians were slaughtered by white people He kept looking at Paul And then Paul got up and said Fuck you, motherfucker!
Starting point is 00:06:31 I don't do shit! I know, huh? They got nothing to do with me. He got what's going to do with me. That's fucked up, man. He worked out of the clad, never saw him again, though. Damn, are you serious? Yeah, all because of Iron Maiden, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:42 He ran to the hills. That's crazy shit. Fucking love Iron Maiden, man. I knew kids, bro, I used to worship Ozzy, dog. Yeah, man, all that heavy metal shit, dude, them, ACDC, mad-ass followers. It's devil-muting my mom was the thing. Well, Ozzy slipped into my life. Like, Black Sabbath slipped in when I needed it the most.
Starting point is 00:07:04 So all those years, I really like Sabbath coming up. You know, like, I was done. That was my main fucking band. That was my main fucking band. When he came out with the first solo album, I nearly lost my mind. Which album was that? The Blizzard of Oz. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:07:22 I really lost my mind. Like, that was... Did you guys have the bass player on the show, right? Yeah. In fact, he was going to be on Tuesday. He had a switch, and then Lee's going to Boston on Wednesday. Classic as shit. But it's so weird to see him sit here sometimes.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Sometimes you just go to lunch, and I sit across from him, and for, like, the first ten minutes, I think about that whole... That whole thing, because they came around, like, October, 79 and they were just god-awful do you know when you see somebody you ever go to see somebody you go this is the last time I see these guys croakish yeah there's some bands that you go see now this was the first time I had seen them but in those days you never caught the warm-up act you know what I'm saying no way man you never caught your one party in the parking lot yeah you didn't have to be in there till 830 the warm-up band for this concert was van
Starting point is 00:08:15 And the word got out. Do not miss the fucking warm-up band. And he came out with eruption and I can hear heads blowing up. People committing suicide right there at this fucking mass of Square Garden. And they had left with so much, like they blew it up.
Starting point is 00:08:31 And then Ozzy came out hammered. You know, we were sitting on the side and I'll never forget this Bill Ward in between songs was taking something out and putting it on the snare drum and they would take a straw and snort it and put it back and they would play the fucking drums. I mean, it was so in front of you, you know.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Ozzy had vodka in his hand, drinking it. They sounded terrible. And I don't remember leaving they're going, I'm never going to see these guys again. Like, there was just some people who I saw early on that were fucking great. Like, the B-52s regret. They were great. But then I went to see Aerosmith early on. Aerosmith was bad every time I went to see him.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Anybody who told you they went to see Aerosmith before 80, and they said, said they were great their line team they just paid too much for the ticket and they can't go back back they got they got got all the concerts up they won't do that they were so bad the last time when i saw erasmith they basically got beat up off the stage were they too fucked up or what it was a horror show it was a horror show they were fucked up first time i saw him we we walked to medallands and it was frank marino mahogany rush poco fucking ted new jubes and Aerosmith. Damn, that's good as Bill.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Aerosmith went up there and started playing last, you know, you're excited for this fucking music. And it was a big place, and it sounded bad. But you could tell they were high on something. And then fucking Joe Perry broke his guitar and shit. And we heard, we listened to Ted for about 15, 20 minutes, but we had a curfew. The kids I was with had a fucking curfew.
Starting point is 00:10:07 So we had to walk home. When you go into the city, and you're driving on that turnpike, Route 3, we were walking on Route 3 cars were doing fucking 80 past us and I remember we barely made it to our homes and we could still hear Ted Nugent's guitar like we walked three miles and you could still hear
Starting point is 00:10:24 Ted Nugent's guitar that's what music was music but Aerosmith was so bad and then the word kept getting out Joe Perry left Brad Whitford left and then they played at like a rock bar next time you go home and you go George take me the fucking Chan's dragging in and when you're dragging in go George
Starting point is 00:10:43 Take me to where Aerosmith played. It's right down the block. You go, come on. It was called the Soap Factory. And after that last album, when the night lightning strikes, it's got, bong, bown, bown, whatever happened. Nobody can name a song from that album. That's how bad the album is.
Starting point is 00:11:02 I personally like the fucking up. Nightner Rush, that's the name of the album. We went to see them. That dude was so fucked up, the singer. he was so fucked up fuck Stephen Adler and fucking Guns and Roses in the 90s
Starting point is 00:11:17 this guy was gone on stage heroin he was singing to the walls he was skinny you could see the bones through the shirt you know it was just a fucking mess and he would light cigarettes and flick him
Starting point is 00:11:30 he kept lighting cigarettes and flick him now I got my own thing going on on the side I'm in the it was $15, $10 general admission right so whenever you got there you got it me and my buddy get there a little early and it's hot out it's humid so there's women would halt the tops and this guy smoking cigarettes are you with me i'm listening so i'm 15 feet from the stage and guess who's
Starting point is 00:11:57 in front of me a real deal heroin junkie what's he doing he's lighten a cigarette in the middle middle thing he puts the cigarette out right here he leaves it six inches from his face and he would start to nod and as he would nod I'd push him into a girl and it would burn her back hysterical I'm doing this for 15 20 minutes by myself and they're like stop it fuck ass and he's like I'm sorry I'm sorry people keep bumping into me and every time he and then he would move over like a foot or two because he was finding out what's going on somebody behind him kept pushing him and every time he'd not lease a lease in the cult jam I hear when he was at this position with the cigarette up I just push him into somebody and you hear the girl go
Starting point is 00:12:40 A little hair burn it. This went on for 20, 30 minutes. The concert started, and it was so boring. Me and my buddy are, like, having our own fucking great time. We did this, and finally, he got so high the guy that he just passed out. Like, he just fell, and people just started stepping on him. And people stood there the whole night. He was on the floor.
Starting point is 00:13:01 This guy was so high on heroin, he was just laying there. Man. So now, we're there jumping. Give us some music. He's light and cigarettes and flicking. I met chicks, and he has microphones. He has anchorships on his microphone. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:15 So we're in at about an hour now. And he's saying, and he's fucking up the words. It's like Sinatra. If you went to see Sinatra in the 80s, bro, he had no idea what the words were. Even with the teleprompter, he would not have an idea what he was saying, but Boris Ethel, you know? But this guy was so inebriated, and he was just singing different songs, and the band was looking at him.
Starting point is 00:13:38 and then he started taking it out of the audience. And he would light the cigarettes and flick him. Somebody threw a joint. And that's where it got ugly. He lit it, took two hits and flicked it. And it burnt one of the girls. Here I am burning women for an hour. And he decides to flick a joint and burn a chick.
Starting point is 00:13:55 They start yelling, fuck you. He's like, fuck you, fuck you. He's holding on to the microphone singing a song and they start tugging on his handkerchief. And he's going back and forth. This goes on for like three fucking minutes. And I knew one of the kids, Mike Askley's. I still talked to him on the phone from the time to time.
Starting point is 00:14:12 They're going back and forth, back and forth. Finally, he throws the microphone in and dives in head first. That was it. You don't do that in New Jersey. They don't give a fuck who you are. Punches. He's on top of the audience, and punches were hitting him in the face. Ba boom, bab boom.
Starting point is 00:14:26 They're just punching Stephen Tyler. They're just clocking Stephen Tyler. Finally, security couldn't get into the audience. They wouldn't let him. Security from the stage had to grab his fucking neck by the shirt and rip him up. And I'll never forget, he's in mid-flight, and it's like a step for him,
Starting point is 00:14:43 and somebody just comes up to him and hits him again. Perfect. They pulled them up, and he ran to the back to the concert was over. No more fucking Erosmith. Three weeks later, they were done. Done. You didn't hear from Erosmith.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Nothing. And one day, I'm in Aspen, Colorado, eating a Kualoot. I'm in a hotel across the street from the In-N-N-Out sandwich place. Not the In-N-N-Out hamburger place. This is the end-and-law. of robbing them too. I had a billionaire. One day I said that I saw the guy
Starting point is 00:15:11 they didn't make deposits and they left the wind. The door opened, had one lock with the thing. You know, like with the vent? Yeah. Open. Are you kidding me? In those days, I was an acrobatic. I was 19. That's an invitation, Frank. I just jumped up and kicked the window and went right through and the next day they knew it was me.
Starting point is 00:15:27 But I stayed at that little Austrian hotel there and I'm sitting there watching MTV and fucking whatever comes out and she goes, bro, I'm here at a high school in Boston, And Aerosmith is back. And I'm like, no, they're not back. And they were jamming dog.
Starting point is 00:15:44 They were clean and sober, and they put the cam on them. They interviewed them. I had fucking goosebumps. I'm like, there's no way these guys are back. But like two years later, like the next summer, I went to see Foco. Joe Perry put a band together, the Joe Perry Project. And Hart was opening up for him at Radio City. So I went down there, and I was all quite looted up.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And the skinny blonde was like 10 feet. for me and I grabbed the ankle and they went to throw me out but then the security guy was cool he let me send the back with the fucked up people and shit grab the ankle I grabbed their ankle dog those Quailos do some weird things to you as Bill Cosby and shit
Starting point is 00:16:21 they just take over a motherfucker so did this motherfuckers quit for a while or what? Errol Smith? Run them C-brought I'm back done done. Then they put out of that I'm called done with mirrors that is so bad you can't find it well they're done now done with mirrors it was so bad it was like three songs from Eerosmith
Starting point is 00:16:38 and the songs that Joe Perry had released, they re-released them. The album is horrible. It won't even play. If you find it... When I saw them on their movie, Sergeant Pepper Lonely Heart Club band, I said, who is this band?
Starting point is 00:16:50 Because I don't know who they were. They were singing a Beatles song on Sergeant Pepper Lonely Hard Club band. It's like a BJ's movie. Yeah. Come together. Come together. Then fucking run DMC.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Run DMC. How crazy is that? They were gone, right? they were done. They were rehearsing. This was going up there. Listen, bro, they were clean and sober. They couldn't, they couldn't write a song to fucking, and then that's why they went to ballads. Like, somebody started writing ballads. Remember, they did, what's that jam? They did, the movie,
Starting point is 00:17:24 Even when I close my eyes. Lee likes that. He sings that to his girlfriend and shit. What is that from, that's from Armageddon? Yeah, Armageddon. They did that. But Jamie's got a gun is good. That album is good. Janie's got. 87, that album was good. 87, 88, that whole fucking, I mean, not the whole album,
Starting point is 00:17:42 but it's got its moments, but it's not do-looks like a lady, you know, but it ain't fucking get your wings. It ain't fucking rocks. No. No, no, no, no, no, not even close. You could smell, when you put rocks on with a needle, like, I'll get rocks right now and put it on, you can smell heroin. I feel like the fourth song, you start getting high and shit.
Starting point is 00:18:02 That's how much fucking H-Day did for that album. That album is raw. That's got, that album's got two songs that are just pure heroin. You hear what you go? It's like when you hear Allison Chains. Like I heard Freak the, what's that? The freak, the freak, whatever the other day, I was driving. I'm like, if this isn't heroin, this is beat the freak.
Starting point is 00:18:25 What's it called, Lee? Let's see, hold on. Fucking amazing jam. Freak show? No. Allison Chains, something to the freak. I forget. Bleed the freak.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Bleed the freak. God. You could smell the heroin in your car. You're like, I better not get pulled over. They think I got Chinese people in the truck and shit, yelling and screaming. Atawa, Atawa. What's up? Felipe?
Starting point is 00:18:50 What's up, fool? Any good movies lately? Oh, man, a lot of good movies, man. Is it Medea? The Halloween movie, Boo? I don't want to talk about that. It was hilarious, bro. I just don't want to talk about that, okay?
Starting point is 00:19:03 It would be tough truth. Talking to the other than I was smoking dope, but I had an idea of a lifetime. Okay? See, the manager thinks like I think. Manager, how much did you like Jack's Teller, the truth? Is I like what? Jack's Teller.
Starting point is 00:19:19 What's that? Sons of Anarchy. The show I'm trying to get fuck-o-on over here. Oh, dear, Sons of I like Sons of Anarchy. They're doing two spinoffs. But for some reason, I fell in love with Jacks Teller. Whatever his name is, Charlie Hoonan. He played a gay guy on the other show.
Starting point is 00:19:35 When I see him in Sons of Anarchy, I don't think Sons of Anarchy is the greatest show in the world, but I see this kid. Sons of Anarchy has been off for two fucking years. Two years? Yeah. Two years. Where is this kid? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Nothing. So two years. He hasn't done a fucking thing. They got him scheduled to play a Mexican with blue eyes, a drug dealer. Yeah. A famous drug dealer. La Barri. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:57 He's coming out with some other fucking movie about prehistoric time that nobody cares about. They're wasting this motherfucker's time. So you don't me, dog. I'm sitting there smoking. Smoking dope. 50 shades of gray, he was supposed to be... He said, don't know me. Yeah, he turned it down.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Yeah. And he would have been perfectly dirty. So, I'm sitting there thinking the other day. I always ask my... He's at my agency. He's with a different division. He's with the fucking pimps and shit. But I asked my agent one there.
Starting point is 00:20:20 What the fuck is up with his agent? Do you ever talk to him? Because, yeah, I know him well. I go, how come this kid not doing 20 fucking movies? Then I sat down, I go, this kid ain't a movie star. Remember, movies and TV are two fucking different things. Okay? Two different fucking animals.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Jacks Teller's already on fucking FX. He's already on FX. And Netflix. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to go fucking put together a treatment of the mechanic. Oh, yeah. And I'm going to play Charles Bronson and die in the third episode. Like, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Just shoot me. Because it's really his show. Yeah. It's really Jan Michael Vincent's show. You know what I'm saying? Have you ever seen the mechanic? Yeah. With Jan Michael Vincent, what he looked like when he shot that movie?
Starting point is 00:20:58 Oh, yeah, it was badass, man. So I'm thinking this. He will look him awful. See, the mechanic remake, the reason why he's the reason why he's, he's he's I got really mad at the remake of the movie. First of all, don't fuck with Charles Bronson. Leave that fucking man alone. Do not retouch his movies.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Leave him alone. They're all going to die in hell. They're all going to, this 12 fucking, the dirty dozen remake with the Cowboys, the Magnificent Sin, and that is not right. That is not right at all. I won't even, I am pissed at that. Oh, that movie sucks. No, you're no shit.
Starting point is 00:21:26 You can tell that movie is just God fucking awful. First of all, that's a fucking Japanese movie. I walked out of the audition. Did you really? No. No, dog, I wouldn't even want to read for that. I'm done. I'm done.
Starting point is 00:21:39 I'd rather do the podcast and go on the road. I'm done. I don't want to read for that shit no more because that's just embarrassing. That's just embarrassing. I did the longest yard. I came out smelling like a rose and I moved the fuck out. You know what I'm saying? Somebody gave me a coat.
Starting point is 00:21:52 If the movie would have died, I would have been in bad shape. But the movie did well. Some people still hire me because of it. I don't say nothing. I got to call to do another movie. I'm shooting in North Hollywood. November 28th to December 17th They just called me up
Starting point is 00:22:07 How did you manage that? You don't know You don't even have to like get a hotel Nothing, nothing You want me to tell how I managed it? How fucked up is God? I'm thinking about, you ever see Scarface? Yeah Scarface was on the other night
Starting point is 00:22:21 And it's 8 o'clock And I'm going through the things The baby's in the room And I press the fucking thing And it's just dark And that dude that puts the thing to his face and says, how'd you get the scar on your face? The cop eating pussy?
Starting point is 00:22:35 I did a movie with that dude. But when I did the movie, the dude had glaucoma already. He was 68. His wife had just died. A beautiful man. He taught me more about acting in that fucking movie. We did some movie together. And in fact, me and the director and his girlfriend got into a fight on the set,
Starting point is 00:22:50 nobody talked to me for three weeks. It was fucking horrible. But guess what? I had the fucking, I had him on the fucking podcast. It wasn't a great podcast, Paul T. Murray. Oh, okay. So the end of him watching Scarface, and I wonder what happened. Oh, man, John.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I was going to church with John. He's one of those old guys that you talk to and you go, I got to do what this motherfucker is doing. He was in Dog Day afternoon. Anything that guy did, he was it. So Dog Day afternoon, Scarface, anything that guy did, the guy would just call him and give him a row. Some rolls were big, some rolls were small.
Starting point is 00:23:23 In Scarface, he goes, John, I got a little row for you. He goes, go in there, Pacino's in there and ask him this question. How'd you get the scar on your face? Beautiful old man. You know those old men that you look at and you go, this motherfucker? I used to smoke dope in the car with him before church. And he would finally go, give me a head of that shit. He was one of those dudes.
Starting point is 00:23:42 And we used to go to Sacred Heart on Wednesdays. And he used to go, why are all these chinks here? And he didn't know Pachia was there. Pachiae. He used to go to church there on Wednesdays. We used to just happen to go on Wednesdays. And we used to go in there. And then he took me to another one in Santa Monica Boulevard.
Starting point is 00:23:59 And right in the middle of church. There's too many fucking gays here. We got to go. I was like, oh, my God. I met the perfect, though, man. Old school? You know, I don't have a granddad, but if I did, I wanted that dude.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Anyway, when I talk about the reason where I had a mom there, Felipe, he told me a story. He goes, I got a call to go down there and audition when they have Pacino. I just know Al Pacino from Needle Park and I saw him in New York a couple times.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I don't know this kid, he's supposed to be a tremendous actor. I get to the audition, and they say, put a knife to his face. So he comes in, he goes, first of all, His script looked like it had gone through a shredder. He goes, that's what that dude does, Pacino.
Starting point is 00:24:36 He goes, his script looked like he had ripped it apart and put notes and glued it back together and headshots. Dissected. Just dissected it. He goes, he came in. The director goes, do it, John. He goes, why did you get that scar on your face? Eating pussy goes, cut, cut. John, come outside, please.
Starting point is 00:24:53 John, don't touch his fucking face. That's the middle. You kidding me? Don't touch his face. That's the money. That's the stuff. That's the money. How can you touch his fucking face? Going on and apologize.
Starting point is 00:25:04 John goes in, Mr. Pacino, I'm sorry. Touched your face. He goes, no, no, it's the role. With that, they do action, and he does it again. And now he gets a call. John, they want to see you outside to producer. And he comes, pulls him aside. He goes, how come you're not touching his fucking face?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Put that knife in his fucking eyeball. Take his eye out. And he goes, the director, just, no, I'm the one that's signing fucking checks here, okay? I want that knife in his fucking eyeball. The palmer? The palmer. No, no. Whoever the producer was yeah
Starting point is 00:25:30 Whoever the director was the proud of no I don't know that I don't know that I was talking about the guy now in the hotel room The one of those I joined Medina No the guy that talks to him in immigration Oh that guy there's two guys that talk of immigration Yeah the one guy standing and there's one guy sitting the guy comes over and puts the knife on his fucking face Yeah, yeah what you think when you first how old when you first saw that movie fool man it was nineteen eighty four so how old were you I was like 14
Starting point is 00:25:59 Were you doing blow? Hell no, I wasn't doing nothing, man. What was doing nothing? What was? What you're thinking about it? Hell no. I didn't even know what that was yet. So when you saw.
Starting point is 00:26:06 But we went to, like, we have friends in Burbank, and my dad was our cousin. We went over there and they made a bunch of cevice, bro, like a big bucket of cevice. And we all sat down all the little kids, all the grownups, and we all saw Scarface on VHS for three hours. We saw the whole movie. And I was like, at first of the, I didn't get it, you know, but. I started watching it. I started saying that much a lot of fucking money, man.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And then my dad's and my friend were making jokes. I know how they like my dad and him loved the movie, though, man. They loved it. How old were you the first time you saw it? I was little, dude. It was probably like a year it came after we've seen it on VHS, but I didn't understand what's going on. But I always wondered how we had the same suit as John Trovotia in Saturday Night Fever.
Starting point is 00:26:56 How old were you when you saw it? Last year. No, I was probably like, I was probably like 16 or 17. And did you want to go out and do a little tutz and get your life together? No. That always scared me. You don't want to go hang out with Pacino and the Puerto Ricans. No, no.
Starting point is 00:27:10 The people were getting shot, dude. Oh, man. That did that dude up at the chance all. That reminds me when I was doing a lot of blow during MySpace days, and I wanted to see who wanted a party, and I would tweet on Facebook, and I would tweet. My update would be, um, who's up? right now. Hint, hint,
Starting point is 00:27:30 anybody watching Scarfeast? And then that's how I would know people are doing blow tonight. Really? They'll invite me to their house to the party or something. That's fucking amazing. That was a cold, bro.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Anybody watching Scarfeith right now? Four in a morning, hint, hint. But now you can put a little nose with a 100. Little pile. But when I saw it later on, when I was like silent crack,
Starting point is 00:27:56 you know, and my neighbor, He gave me a sense of power, bro, to watch that movie. Like, yeah, if he can make it, I can make it. But now when I watch it, I see it that, you know, you can make it, you know, even if you're not a cocaine dealer, you know, it was a sign, you know, you come here, you work real hard. No matter what you do, you can be a survivor, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Oh, hell yeah. But he just chose that life. But, man, it's hard to watch sometimes, you know, because some of those parts where he's dealing with the mom is so real, you know, like he thought you know like he could impress his mom with money and the suit and she still stay get the fuck out of here man
Starting point is 00:28:34 it hurts man that was pushing drugs dog that's what but she didn't know huh fuck you we never had a father shit she knows something was up that shit was that movie was fucking brutal dog you know those Cubans that came over in 79 it was uh it was you know
Starting point is 00:28:50 somebody's got to do a documentary of the jail they let him out of You know what I'm saying? Just walk through that jail. They weren't American jail. They didn't feed you on time. There's no feeding at seven. They were coming and throw a fucking piece of bread at you, dog.
Starting point is 00:29:06 They would throw like a sandwich into a cell with four of us. You know, and no showers. Because those are the hardcore criminals from Cuba, right? The Mariana Boat Project or something like that? It was really weird. I saw the transformation. I saw it right in front. You know, it's so weird how I was doing mescaline one day.
Starting point is 00:29:24 and having a great time with 20 kids my age, and all of a sudden, nobody's doing mescal anymore. You know, it went from, you needed $5 to get high. You needed $2.50 for a hit of mescaline, and $2.50, we could chip in for a six-back. You needed three, four beers, and a hit a mescal, and somebody had a joint. You were good to go, Rodrigo.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And all of a sudden, it went from that to people having to spend $50. You know, there was no sample of cocaine. If you really think the impact that this had on the economy here, You really have to think about 1978, 77. I saw it. I saw people talking.
Starting point is 00:30:00 It was spoken in my house since I was a kid. But I was starting to see it more now. I was starting to see it. I knew my mom had white rings around her nose. I knew what time it was. I wasn't retarded. But now I was hearing people talking about it.
Starting point is 00:30:14 It was in the clubs. The kids older than me were coming back going, no, no, my thing more but equal. Now I was in shock. Like I just thought my mom and her friends did it. Do you follow me? So now I had to sit there with my tongue tired. I could, you ever done it?
Starting point is 00:30:26 No, I don't even know what you're talking about. How old were you? 13. Damn. So 13. It's 1976. And it was already creeping. 77, staying alive, quailudes and cocaine.
Starting point is 00:30:42 78. 79 was the first time I had some. And it was in a draw that sat in that fucking draw for months. And then I went to a party one day. and I decided to take it. I knew I was going to sell it, but I said, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:30:57 And I did it. And I didn't, you know, the first year I did blow, it didn't get me off. I thought people were lying to me, like Saturday Night Live. You know,
Starting point is 00:31:05 for years, people told me it was so funny. I'd go home and I wouldn't laugh. They were flowered. And a bunch of people were laughing, and I wouldn't laugh. With Coke, I would do Coke with people
Starting point is 00:31:14 and I'd see them getting all twisted and hiding and shit. And nothing was happening to me until one day had a cocktail. Uh-oh. See, I didn't drink. One day I had a beer. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:31:22 That's when that shit clicked. My jaw is clicking. My fingers are getting like I'm a piano player. This party's on. This shit. You were like, Jeff's done. I want no puppets. And then they dropped Scarface on these kids.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Yeah, man. It was like taking a generation to Vietnam. You had to see it. Like, I fucking saw it. Like, I saw kids that were decent kids, and I'd see them in a bar at 4 in the morning. Like, fucking Lucifer. And I would go, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:31:50 And then they weren't smoking crack yet. There was no crack yet. Like, I was still 83, 84. Everybody had it. In 83, if you bumped into the manager, she pulled you aside and go, listen, a friend of mine left me a kilo. Do you know anybody who could sell it? He said we could make a lot of money. You were bumping into people like that.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Like your neighbor, we'll come over and go, Doug, do you know anything about cocaine? It was everywhere. It was everywhere. Everybody had it. 1,800 an ounce. 100 a gram or don't even talk to me. 60 a half a gram. How good with it?
Starting point is 00:32:22 It was right off the fucking. fucking shipment. They were fucking piled it in here. It was glass. It was fucking glass. First time I went to Miami in 84, nobody jawed. You didn't stay up. You didn't stay up. Your eyes got red. Like those red veins were in your eyes.
Starting point is 00:32:37 You got all red and shit. And you get high and your dick got hard. And you had a good fucking time. And you were loose. And then over the years when you started getting they started doing something to it. Putting speed and there the rat poison. Aspirates. And then
Starting point is 00:32:52 And 84, 85, people were smoking it in cigarettes and clubs. I went to the city in 85. I was not doing drugs at this time. And people were already, the Colombians, they would go, that's a Colombian table. And you could smell the Coke in the air. And they were putting it in fucking cigarettes. And then I went over to the city to get weed one day.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Manager, I've been going to the spot since I was fucking 13. 14. It was on 148th in Broadway. Were you sure of these weed stores today? Yeah. Listen, I was, I copped there from fucking 77 to 84.5. And then I just started coping in Jersey, and we were coping on 178th Street. But if I was on 148 and I was in labor, I'd go there. It was called the Master Mix.
Starting point is 00:33:46 The guy was right on a stoop. Stoop. He was on a stoop. A little pigeon. What up to him? And he had. green weed that you never saw then nobody had green weed there was all the weed from Jamaica up in Harlem the master mix it was the Buddha tie the chocolate tie he had chocolate tie he had green weed and then he put it together and
Starting point is 00:34:08 that was called the master mix and guess what he gave a fucking punch card in nineteen fucking 80 homie was already giving you a punch card what did say on it if you bought ten nickel bags you got one for it was ten dollars bags. If you bought 10, $10 bags, you got one for free. He thought his idea. Who the fuck you think you're dealing with? This is on the street, no license, no nothing. I went there
Starting point is 00:34:32 and they go weed. We don't sell weed no more. It's cracked. It was gone. And it was a little vials were all over the street. And I had never seen that before. And then I went to Colorado. In Colorado, I heard about crack. People cracked up and shit. Where I grew up, like the biggest
Starting point is 00:34:50 thing I ever saw was weed and alcohol. I'm sure that there maybe there were pills or something, and maybe there were some kids who did other stuff, but did you ever have people? Did you have anyone who was negative about cocaine in your life, or was everyone, like, really positive? It hit so hard, Lee. In 1982, it hit so hard.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Like, girls that you knew that were chilly, is that fucking CYO basketball at the prom with doing fucking powder. Oh, my. You know what I'm saying? Like that? It hit that hard. Like, if you were at a party, and there was 10 people there, nine.
Starting point is 00:35:24 And, see, in the beginning, cocaine didn't take over as a drug that got people high. Cocaine put you in a different class. The only people with money could fuck with them. That desert rat, that desert rat from fucking Glendale that fucked everybody when she was eight, she's somebody now. You walk into a bathroom, you do two lines,
Starting point is 00:35:45 you come out and the whole room will look at you. That's how you get people's attention in the 80s by going the whole room were looking and they come up to you all creepy have you done coke how is it how's the drip tell me the truth can I get a little bump from me it was fucking insane
Starting point is 00:36:00 it was fucking insane but that's how they sold it that's how they sold it they didn't sell it because it was a great drug you've done coke it ain't fucking dick after you see it it ain't dick they sold it you became a bigger person
Starting point is 00:36:14 you were doing what the movie stars you know what I'm saying it was the convertible and then and harry claptin then black sabbath and that was it cocaine that was it it hit like the white lines 10 years ago you wouldn't see a weed store now you see a weed store every two fucking blocks that's what it was everybody had coke for sale everybody had it everybody could give it to you on the arm because they had so much of it in the house people go do you know anybody
Starting point is 00:36:45 who buys coke and you go now not really meanwhile you haven't done coke in two days you got a monkey and your back is assholes on fire. You know what I'm saying? I don't know, buddy. Let me give you an ounce of you. You can sell it, sell it and not bring it back. What? You ain't ever going to see me,
Starting point is 00:36:59 but then crack took over. I don't know. How was it here? Oh, man. Same time, like, 82, 83. They were selling pure Thai stick at the little corner on Claren Street in Boyle Heights
Starting point is 00:37:17 in the projects, Pico Aliso. It was called the Thai Lammie because the other saw was Thai stick people drive by and they have the long sticks with marijuana stuck to it and they would sell out to their cars and then one day man everybody started selling crack
Starting point is 00:37:32 instead of tie sticks and then you started seeing these young 14 year old kid with little big gold chains and beepers that was the first sign that I saw a young kid wearing on a beeper I said damn this was a doctor or what and everybody was starting crack man
Starting point is 00:37:49 everybody it wasn't like it wasn't like it is now where you gotta pay taxes to somebody, you know, or the neighborhood is controlled by some gang it was like open, it was like the Wild Wild West in my neighborhood, man. And they sold a lot of PCP to
Starting point is 00:38:04 another spot. But man, I remember crack was crazy, man. When it first came along. Crack was crazy. Crazy. It just took people to the next level, man. Like, it'll just kill a whole family, man.
Starting point is 00:38:19 like instant addiction right you can make more more crack out of a little bit of cocaine i got hooked on crack in hollywood for six weeks i was smoking crack i'd buy it right by the theater by man's chinese theater around that corner there'd be two black guys we'd make eye contact they beat me they beat me five ten times it's on me soap these cock suckers my fingers were always dirty and shit my wife would wake up what is that fucking smell the weed go back to bed i would smoke it out of a coke can that's a gnarly fucking smell then i went to elpast them There was no crack, so I got hooked back on the Coke, and I didn't smoke crack again. Tremendous how addiction is transferring shit like that.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I didn't smoke crack. I never thought I'd smoke crack. Me neither, man. I didn't like, listen, in 802, free basters getting big. That's different from crack? It's hot powder, right? Bro, it was fucking stupid white people. They wasted my fucking time.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Wasting my fucking time. Okay? And Timmy, there's a kid who listens to the podcast, Timmy Holloway, my buddy. Timmy. Me him. Me him. And this black dude, a friend of mine came up to me when they he goes, bro, I heard you got good Coke.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I just graduated high school. I could hook you up because dog I sell Coke to pimps. He goes, I got these pimps down in Jersey City and whatever that. We'll buy coke from you. We got to go down to the hotel. But the guy that was going to come, that's where I got the word tremendous from. Everything in this kid's life, he'd say tremendous. How are the girls?
Starting point is 00:39:46 Tremendous. How's the Coke? Tremendous. How was that right turn? He would even tell you that right turn was tremendous. So we went to Steve Valanis. I forget what the fuck his name was, dog. Tremendous.
Starting point is 00:39:57 We went to this hotel room. It's the summer of 82. I'm getting my Coke from a high school teacher. But now since we were out of high school, he would sell us. Mr. Belden. Huh? No, I don't know if it was Mr. Belvedere. It was the camel.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Let's just call him camel breath. Because he used to smoke camel cigarette. And his cigarette was orange from the camel's cigarettes. Tremendous. So Camel breath. He would sell you the Coke already in a fucking bindle. So we went down to those pimps. I gave him a couple grams.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Here's the code. We still get an F in his final. What's that? No, no, we were out of school. He wouldn't fuck with us then. And the pimp was like, dog, have you ever free base? And I go, no, but we'll give him a shot. And he did the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:40:35 He had all his hookers there. And they were like, he was a magician. Woo. And he did it, but he had like the silk scoff and shit, you know. He was like orange. He was like Orange Juice Jones and shit. And he would tell the bitches. ain't getting him you hook a motherfucker
Starting point is 00:40:50 and me him and the other two people smoked it and it wasn't bad and there's a place again next time you go back to Caroline until George Joey said take me to East West East West East West is a head store
Starting point is 00:41:06 that's been there this is Gasseth Cogion de la Malle from 1970 when I was a kid I used to go on them by when people go to a tape recorder to a concert yes whatever those are called remember that shit in the 70s Not bootlegs, yeah. Bootlegs.
Starting point is 00:41:21 People go, if the stones played six nights in the garden, you would go all six nights and they'd get one show. But they also had a how to make fucking freebase kit for $49. No way. So I bought it. I took it home. It was butane, a glass, a silk scarf, a ton of shit. And then we went home, we went to my friend's house, Devo.
Starting point is 00:41:43 When I woke up in the morning, all the bottles were turned upside down. It was like 15. we went through 15 grams and like at the end the next day I said what did we do? First of all you got to sit there and cook it and become a chemist and it's got to dry it's white people shit I'm sorry manager it's white people shit it's too much thought
Starting point is 00:42:01 just give it to me God give me that motherfucking mule you know what I'm saying let's get that jaw going give me a little freeze I got a cavity back here let's get this fuck yeah let's get the Bolivia fuck yeah but you can't do that no more we got to be decent people

Starting point is 00:42:28 You should like that. Yeah, man, the first time I tried crack, I liked it, man. I heard it's fucking instantly addictive. I've never heard anybody that's done crack that say that shit sucks. Everybody says super fucking good. Listen, at that point,
Starting point is 00:42:42 the point of my life when I was smoking crack, it was like 98. I didn't really give a fuck, Jack. He was like, fuck it. Oh, yeah. And some of the nights I would smoke it, even if I knew it wasn't cracked. I would just smoke it because I bought it. I might as well get my money out of this.
Starting point is 00:42:57 This thing tastes like saran wrapping shit. Smoking almond and shit. Oh, fucking terrible. Terrible the shit you do when you're in that level. Yeah, man, you don't care. You know, when you're in that fucking level, you're fucking creeping, man. You give it money to somebody and hopefully they'll come back. Yeah, I'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:43:14 You're there for three hours. That's the worst. And it's fucking four in the morning. seventh and spring. A little pinch or shit too if they don't come back. I met his drug deal. By mistake. You mean a drug dealer by mistake.
Starting point is 00:43:30 I mean by chance. But this guy was so fucking good. He was at the end of my journey. He was at the end of my cocaine journey. He was like, I put him into the rotation. The problem was I didn't have his phone number. I didn't have a way how to get a hold of him. His cocaine was the best.
Starting point is 00:43:47 All the coke I was buying, D-Money. El Compadre I had three or four Yeah, yeah, yeah John Blaze, the motorcycle guy Martel Cartel. Martel Cartel. Martel Cartel was good
Starting point is 00:43:59 but I had to fucking shake him down because they'd sell me this shit they're selling them fucking white people. Give me the real mule in the back that uncut shit in the fucking thing. He was cutting it like 20 to fucking 10 the Martel cartel until I showed up and said you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Step it on in like a mother. Yeah, you can't do this shit. You're marching on that shit, bro. So towards the end one night I pulled into El Campanre. and I get a tap in my window and I zip the window down and the guy goes

Does I just hallucinate? Is there a magic magician here? Where's El Mucsico? The man with the rug. I don't see this guy ever again.
Starting point is 00:46:02 I don't see this guy ever again. And then I end up doing one of those three comedy show nights. You know, La Casa Rosa would fly. Ocasa Latina would fly. And they shoot over to Jeff Garcia's and do that one for 50. And then shoot over to Felipe's. Felipe would have 75. for me. So some nights,

He had another guy and another guy call me in that Monday and say to me, we want to offer you this role in a different movie, but he goes, we have to shoot this in 21 days. He goes, we have to finish this by Thanksgiving. We're working three weeks straight.
Starting point is 00:57:07 We love you. We love the audition. Everything about you. We got one problem. Manager, let me tell you what this motherfucker said to me. He goes, you got to reputation or liking the party and if you take this movie you can't be a minute late because everybody's on the set on every time it's one room it was like an a-a-meeting yeah that cut drew me like i went home or you're listening i went out i'm in and he goes don't even give me an answer i want you to think about it and think if you could even stay clean for the 21 fucking days
Starting point is 00:57:36 and then call me in the morning and i go fuck it i went home i thought about i did a goodbye bump showed up the next morning. The blast of the past. And you know what? I didn't do coke because you had to be on the set from 8 to 8. So 8 o'clock was when I would get the itchies and start going fucking crazy. But I was so tired from being on the set all day. I would just get home eating and go to bed.
Starting point is 00:58:01 I got a bunch of Valium and I would just take Valium and just pass the fuck out. And by the time I got to like the 28th day, I said, why do Coke now? I've been clean. And that's how I stay fucking clean in that movie. That was all inclusive with the cat dying. But good by Bob. But these fucking people gave me that movie. So that's fucking amazing.
Starting point is 00:58:23 I get the nine years. So what I was telling you before was I saw Scarface and I went in to see if that old man was still alive because when I was hanging out with him, he was in the process of moving to Woodland Hills. Yeah. The fucking old people community. They were in SAG.
Starting point is 00:58:39 They got a nice house up there. They exercise. They box. They get the mingle. Fucking movies play up there. They got every movie ever made up there. if they want to bring it to their room. But it's like $8,000 a month.
Starting point is 00:58:49 So he was telling me he might need money and shit. His pension wasn't going to pay for it. So I never seen him again. So yeah, now I went on IMDB and clicked on the movie I did with him to see if I could see if he's still alive. And I couldn't find him in the next day, Paul T. Mary, who I haven't spoken to since he was on the podcast over there a year and a half ago, called me out of the blue.
Starting point is 00:59:10 And he goes, hey, I got this role. Check it out if you want to do it. It's a Jack McGee. So I'm playing a cop with the dude from the fighter. the father the Irish dude yeah dude yeah you know it's not a lot of money I don't give a fuck I'm gonna shoot right by my house I get to act for a few fucking days who's better than me nobody they got fucking catering service right you get breakfast made feel like a doctor you gotta wear somebody else's sneakers but

There's something about it. Like, when you're a comedian, like at first, I didn't understand it. When I got on the set, it was like putting a fucking thief in a candy store.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Like, I robbed a set of basketball. And then Bronx County, it was too much security. But I remember going in for a fucking pilot on ABC, okay, and booking it and go in a wardrobe. Manager, you have no idea how crazy Uncle Joey was. And going to wardrobe, but ABC right down Walshia Boulevard and when I get there the lady says to me do me a favor go in that room and change It was a small room filled with women's dresses with tags on you know me of those dresses I robbed
Starting point is 01:00:30 To go I just clip like fucking 200 of those things the when I got there I had a bag with like a pair of jeans in there When I left the bag weighed like 80 fucking pounds I went on on sunset Boulevard every second hand shop I made like 8,000 fucking dollars dollars and shit like oh yeah yeah dog please on every one of those movies I didn't really know what was going on I was like a fucking criminal on those fucking sets I didn't know what was going on he was in character and then
Starting point is 01:00:55 people started teaching me now there's food over there that's why in the manager I did not fucking know what was going on the set till I got a show on NBC with Sydney Portier's daughter John Aston's kid
Starting point is 01:01:11 it was a bunch of sons and daughters from other TV shows that moved in together, they were attorneys, and I got a reoccurring role on a TV show. And the first day, I didn't even know what hit your line is. Hit your mark. Yeah. I just stood there.
Starting point is 01:01:27 They're like, Joey, would you please hit your mark? And I'm like, what are you talking about? Joey, you got to walk over here and stand right there. And I would just stand, and they were, like, getting agitated. But the director was so sweet. He's like, can I talk to you for a second? Have you ever done this? I'm like, I'm a stand in the fucking comic.
Starting point is 01:01:41 I don't know nothing. I went to the audition. I told the lady, I didn't want the fucking audition. When I walked into Lisa Block's office, it's a partner. Block something, I walked in, and I go, listen, I'd rather not read for it. I'm not going to get this. It's for a fucking Mexican dude. She goes, just show you mouth and read.
Starting point is 01:01:59 I go, I'm not going to fucking get this, and I got to go to New York to refanalyze that. You're fucking with my shit. And she goes, read it. I called you here for a reason. And I read it, and the fucking bitch gave me the role. And it was three. I was pissed. I feel you've fucked up my New York trip and shit.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Now I got to put that fucking audition on tape like a dumb fuck. But I got it and I wanted it. Guys, I didn't know nothing. I didn't know nothing too, man. When I came in to shoot the first episode of Superstore, I was nervous, man, because I never shot anything in my life or television. And where am I going to stand? Really?
Starting point is 01:02:34 Yeah. It was my first sitcom ever. God bless you, my love. So, man, I made friends with a cameraman. I made friends with a standing ahead. Because I had a stand in this fat motherfucker. And I'm like, if I had a stand in, and I'm like, am I really a fat of this fucker? But now he was fatter in me.
Starting point is 01:02:53 So after the stand-in was there, you know, getting all the light, you know, doing all the blocking, I asked him, bro, what did it tell you? What did you tell you where to stand, bro? What the fuck? What do you tell you where to stand at? Then he'll tell me, stand right there, just stand right there, man. And then I made the cameraman laugh, the one I was facing me. So he'll tell me, Felipe, I'm turned to the right. I could see your whole face now
Starting point is 01:03:14 It was fun man It's very nice When they don't have that dumb attitude to them That's how I was blessed I really was because I seen people who got tortured On a set dog It's fucking embarrassing And the people who do it should be shot on
Starting point is 01:03:33 You shouldn't treat a fellow fucking worker like that Yeah But LA's one of those places that the guy has like Heath from a movie and shit They'll fuck with you a little bit I did that show and they were very nice to me on NBC. Then the show got canceled, which was good. Thank God nobody saw me.
Starting point is 01:03:50 But then I booked this creepy show called 18 Wheels of Justice on TNT. You're on 18 Wheels of Justice? Yeah, way before, when it was TNN. Dang. Before Spike. This is when it was TN. Oh, my God. Way before Spike.
Starting point is 01:04:06 That was one of my real, I had a read in front of producers, and my hand was shaking. And I was a pimp. I played a pimp with white hose and shit. And it was Chicks from Play Mansion and shit. And I had to drive to San Diego. And they gave me a pedium. Dog, I held onto that pedium.
Starting point is 01:04:22 You know, that was going right up my fucking nose. It was like $68. I made it all the way back from San Diego with $8 fucking dollars. I ate those dry chicken cutlets from the fucking set. I took salad, chocolate bars. I was a savage in those fucking bagels. Oh, my God. And I went on that set.
Starting point is 01:04:39 And the director dog taught me. and I was going to acting class, 200 a month, Savannah Chubbic, and that director just broke me like a fucking, but in a great way. Like, he's like, why are you doing this? How come you're not smacking her ass?
Starting point is 01:04:52 Oh, she's a girl. Oh, that's what you're supposed to do if you were a pimp. Smacked her ass, and I'm gonna smack a fucking ass. You know what I'm saying? Like, he set me loose. Like, that was the first guy,
Starting point is 01:05:02 and I kept in touch with him. For about a year or two, I kept in touch with that guy. He'd come to the comedy store. Who the fuck knows? He's probably a realtor now. then we did the deported and then we did the deported

Starting point is 01:43:26 Imagine this pool with the spray good Oh dog I was on a ele herineiro And 84 I was dating this girl. It's technical. And she couldn't dump me because I borrowed money from her father, and I had to pay him back by spraying tubs. She wanted to break up with me.
Starting point is 01:43:44 Fuck her old boyfriend, but fuck no, she was tired and fuck. She knew if I broke up with her, she had to cover the 400. So she had to keep fucking doing what I'm doing. You understand me, you know me, dog. I'm a psychological. I'm like, fucking the people who eats dudes. You're the man with a plan. Had to elector.
Starting point is 01:43:59 That's right. And I used to get up. I used to do it with him Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday mornings. And guys, he used to pay me a lot of loot. He got out of prison. He got out of prison and went to a convention that in those days, if you were on probation, you were required to go. And he got a small business loan to buy into this thing called Permissoram. And what it was, it was your own neighborhood.
Starting point is 01:44:28 So you got your own turf. So let's say you got the valley. He got the valley before nobody knew. So instead of buying a new tub, he would come over for 400 and resurface your fucking tub. He had to wear a gas mask, and all I had to do was open beers for him
Starting point is 01:44:46 and give him beers. That's all I did, dog. We had to stop at the liquor store. I'd get a cooler, put 12 pack of Budweiser cans filled with ice, and then we go to the gigs. I taped the job off. I cleaned the tub.
Starting point is 01:45:01 I'd put that acid on it. I put the mask on. and then I'd scrub the acid off and then I'd dry the fucking tub down we'd drink a beer or two I'd go outside and smoke a joint and then I'd come back and it'd be all taped off and he would go go do what you do and I would fucking, he would spray the fucking tub
Starting point is 01:45:16 and then we were waiting an hour put all the shit back in the car and then we would take the paper off voila the tub was done and that was my hook for a while that's what I did and one Saturday one Friday night when I did like 22 8 balls out of wedding and I had to meet him
Starting point is 01:45:32 at 8 in the fucking morning and we went to the nicest people's houses. They were American. One of those Hindus, the Patel's nicest people in the world. He got a contractor to do all the tubs in that fucking place. And I remember going with him like at 7.30 in the morning
Starting point is 01:45:47 when that Coke is still in your nose and you're burping that fucking Long Island ice tea. I was young, dogs. I was young. I was drinking iced teas all night. Your heads pounding. And I walked into this beautiful Hindu's house. And as I'm spraying the fucking, as I'm
Starting point is 01:46:03 cleaning the tub, I can smell the curry. And I'm starting to get dizzy. I'm starting to get dizzy. I go outside to get air. I come to my senses. I stick my finger down my throat. I puke. I go back in these beautiful people's homes.
Starting point is 01:46:18 They offer me water. They know I'm not feeling well. And then they came back with this fucking Hindu mush. And they go taste this. And I'm one of those dudes manager that I, listen, don't bother me. Oh, with a curry? It was something horrible. Horrible.
Starting point is 01:46:34 Masala, chicken masala. Cubans make tamal and casuela. Yeah. It's pretty fucking good. It's a tamale soup. The texture is very rich, and it takes a while. It's one of those tastes to acquire.
Starting point is 01:46:48 Not everybody likes tamal and casuela. My mom used to make it with little pieces of lobster meat, and then you put pecanque on it, but you got to eat it really hot because it's not it hardens into a fucking tamale. You know what I'm saying? That's why. So you got to eat this tamal soup on le ma'amama. Well, my mama Pinga way.
Starting point is 01:47:06 It's got to be boiling. It's fucking hot. It's burning. So your mom pours it. Then you got to pour the hot sauce on this motherfucker. There's little pieces of lobster. It's alive. And then you got to take an ice cube and put in the middle.
Starting point is 01:47:17 And then you really dope that motherfucker up. Gumbull. Oh, my God. It had the same texture. I only tasted it because it had the texture of tamala and casuela. It was white. It wasn't that orange texture that tamal has. It was a white text.
Starting point is 01:47:33 And I take it. And it had that curry in it, no, man. And I spit it right out in front of these poor people. You know me, I got no class. I couldn't get it. I couldn't even get the napkin. It came out with the vodka and the tonics and the blow and the cut, the aluminum foil, and the fucking... God, that he's fucking threw a poison.
Starting point is 01:47:49 Oh, I puked in front of these poor fucking Indian people. Burned their faces. And I knew ever since then, 1984, I knew, don't invite me to a curry joint. All right? This is 1984? I don't hang out with curry people. You understand me, Lee? I don't know what they eat.

Starting point is 02:01:58 I just got to get the fuck home. And, man, but those rooms, that place, Casa Latina. I remember when those rooms dried up, right as I stopped doing coke. And those rooms are what fed my addiction without nobody really knowing. Because any check I would get, I would give to my wife. But those $60, $70, remember, when you go out three times a week, even if you're fighting for your life, when you go out three times a week and you come on with $70 a night, that's $2.10, bro.
Starting point is 02:02:32 That's 840 on the street. That's if you don't do an extra on the show or some Paul Rodriguez, don't call you the open for them for a small nickel. You know what I'm saying?

And I remember me, you, eight of us were going on stage for 40 bucks. And then we had to play some Pasadena for a while. Yeah, Q's. Cues. Wow, the fucking years have gone, brother.

Starting point is 02:06:32 There's a bunch of girls. And then, like, if you're in the movie, you have to check in here. And I walk over to the girl, in and she gives me an envelope. I go, what's in the envelope? I went like this. She goes, no, take it up to your room and read it when you're upstairs
Starting point is 02:06:44 and then bring the contracts back downstairs. I go upstairs to my hotel room. I put my luggage away. I set up the sleep apnea machine. I thought it was a movie contract in that motherfucker. I emptied a fucking thing out. And there's like a contract.
Starting point is 02:07:04 Then there's a contract for a rental car. I had a license, but I didn't have a license. You ever been in that situation? Like I had a Colorado license. I was living in California for eight years. I lost my Colorado license on a plane, like, you know, after 9-11, all the fucking shit. So I lost my fucking license, so I didn't have a license. So, you know, how am I going to get this fucking car?
Starting point is 02:07:32 They didn't even ask me. They didn't even fucking ask me. Then there was another envelope, and I left in that envelope, and there was $800 bills. Per diem? Per diem? I walked to that balcony I opened that motherfucker up and I lit that fucking joint
Starting point is 02:07:50 like I owned that hotel. You understand? And I smoked half of it. You know me? I smoked half of that motherfucker. I put it out and I put a cup over it so the wind would blow it off the balcony because that's the last joint Uncle Joey
Starting point is 02:08:04 had. And I got a knock at the door from one of the Bellman and he goes, excuse me. I have another contract for you. And he gave it to me. He goes, by the way I have blueberry something and something else
Starting point is 02:08:17 and I go What did you just say And he goes I could smell it in your room And if you need it I got blueberry something And something else I go where can I find you in 10 minutes
Starting point is 02:08:27 He goes right downstairs at the desk I went right down there With a yardstick And he gave me a big old bag Of this fucking I was in heaven You know the first year I got to the longest yard
Starting point is 02:08:37 I didn't work I didn't work I went to Albuquerque He did a few jumping jacks They had me walk around, and then they go, just go to the hotel. We'll call you when you need you. I would wake up. I would eat with the team and then go back to my hotel room, smoke pot, watch TV, wait for them to call.
Starting point is 02:08:55 If they wouldn't call by five, I just go doodle over to the set and see what they were doing. They'd all give me hugs. They go, you came at the right time. There's dinner. I would eat and then walk back to my fucking hotel. That's what I did for the first week and a half. How crazy? And they pay you.
Starting point is 02:09:10 Hell yeah. How fucking crazy is that? Fucking crazy as fuck, but that's badass. I'm real happy for you, Philippi. You got shows and you got that chick, right? She's hot. She's always hot. The chick that played the ugly Betty.
Starting point is 02:09:27 Yeah. That's her name. America Ferrara, yeah. She's very nice to you. She's very nice on the set. Yeah. Everybody will know, even that guy from the kids in the hall. When you're on the set, can you believe that you were homeless at one time?
Starting point is 02:09:40 I can't believe it, man. Can you imagine if you raised your hand and said, guys, before we even do this, you know, I saw I smoke crack at one time. Before you start, I can say, let everybody know that I ordered Armandhammer, baking soda, and a big spoon for room service. One of the funniest stories of all time. One of the funniest fucking things I ever heard in my life.
Starting point is 02:10:02 One of the funniest calls I ever got on the Monday morning, ever. Ever. That just drew me off. When V called me. That was one of the fun. Like, I was just blown away. That's when I knew the power of Felipe. That's why I knew the power of drugs and Felipe.
Starting point is 02:10:19 I knew there was Indian blood. All my suspicions were confirmed. You know what I'm saying? He lit the curtain on fire. I don't fucking, I'm like, what are you talking about? And Pete was a sweetheart. Pete wasn't even mad. He got it.
Starting point is 02:10:34 And then you went in there and fucking killed the room on a Monday night open mic on a three-day binge. You couldn't even see these. They're still talking about that fucking set. So it's all the rest. I don't know what I said, man. You lit the room on fire two times.
Starting point is 02:10:48 I put my name on the list and then I went up, I did 20, got off, then I put my name again. You know, Felipe had teamed up that weekend. I forget his name is and I wouldn't want to say it. Felipe teamed up that weekend with a kid that was a very interesting kid. As a matter of fact, I loved him at one point in my life. He was an innocent redneck who dog, when you got cocaine
Starting point is 02:11:14 that motherfucker went off Felipe did he go off he went off white dude I love crazy white people that's why I don't like Starbucks that's why I don't like none of that shit if you're gonna be white you better be fucking crazy

And first of all, they took Beyonce off with the white chicks, the Dixie chick singing. I'm not mad about that. That's got nothing to do with me. I didn't even give a fuck about that.
Starting point is 02:12:04 What happened? That chick went up there. What's her name? Not the one that's married to McGraw. not Faith Hill, that bitch is on her own planet, but the other blonde one up there. And she had a dress on a national TV that was a quarter inch above that monkey.
Starting point is 02:12:27 And it looked good on in the dress. She looked beautiful. They were saying kind of stuff that was a little passe for eight o'clock. Like if you drink that, you're going to pee-pee. If you smoke that, you're going to get the munchies. Like, it was a little like somebody else wouldn't get away with it. I enjoy country music.
Starting point is 02:12:45 I don't give a fuck. You know what I mean? My wife taped it for one of the performances. And I go, why are you tap it for a lot? Let me watch it. And I watched it for a little while. I thought it was fucking amazing. Like, you know, the quarterback was there.

Hell yeah, I know that guy too. Oh, that's crazy. I love. The first crazy white dude I haven't met. They were looking for that for the show.

You see a life. Fuck that. Where you've been the last 10? He was just dropping knowledge and I became friends on him all those years. I think I was telling
Starting point is 02:14:52 Leah's story one night where we went a video store and there was a guy with a windbreaker on and he walked in and he's like, what's happened, man? It was a crazy night. Last night we got fucked up. And all of a sudden he's like, man, I did so much Coke last night and there's a guy
Starting point is 02:15:07 with his back towards us and he could hear the conversation like, oh what the fuck? He goes, man, hug him. He goes, I got fucked up last night and all of a sudden right in front of me he says picking his nose right? He takes out this boulder of a snuck with his
Starting point is 02:15:23 head attached to it. And he looks at it and he goes what am I? Like in his mind I can see him thinking like what am I going to do with this thing? And in his mind I could see it. And so he looked back at the dude with the windbreaker, and he just flicked it at him. And when it hit the windbreaker, it went.
Starting point is 02:15:43 Like, yeah. That little thump. And I'm like, this guy. That's. This guy is originally crazy. Like, I like those guys. This is how this dude in Houston was. If you wanted to go, if you wanted to snort Coke, this guy would snort Coke.

Starting point is 02:21:19 I looked at the website, and I liked the prices and whatnot. But you know what? I got a gorilla wrist. My wife bought me a bracelet and I told her, don't buy me the fucking bracelet, but she bought it for me,
Starting point is 02:21:32 and I told her when she got it for me, put it on my wrist. It don't fit. That's why I told you not to get the fucking bracelet because now I can't get the bracelet fixed unless I go back to that same jewelry store in New Jersey. You know how hard it is to get to that jewelry store? It's easier to get the fucking Marlon Brando
Starting point is 02:21:47 on Apocalypse now to get to that fucking jewelry store. I was at the light for fucking four lights one time, though, in the middle.
