Get the gun.
Tell the pilgrim you're showing up
with a bigger dick than him.
You're sitting at the head of the table,
cock suckers.
Church of what's happening now?
Monday to 21st.
We're here, cock suckers.
Here you go.
Pool, to the boom.
Taking it back deep into the murky water
as a coeluz.
This is Cosby's favorite song right here.
This was his anthem and shit
He'd show up with a box of goodies
Putting in a big smile on his face
Yeah, let your shoulders bounce, cock suckers
You're at the light, sitting there like a moot
Looking around, let it hit you
Bam, bam!
Wiggle Lee, kiss this motherfucker
Kick that mulelea, kick it
You ain't fucking around no more
It's November cocksuckers, the devil is dead
We killed that fucker
Hit it, Lee
Who's shit,
What's happening, you bad motherfuckers?
It's a beautiful day to be alive.
November 21st.
I got my main man, George Perez in the house.
My main man, Lee Syatt in the fucking house.
I want to thank the people of Houston, Texas, and they come and take a festival.
You guys showed up in a fucking tent in the rain like savages out there.
And you like that little trick I pulled with the fucking smoke before the show.
I went when the windiest place was I opened up the curtain.
and I smoked the number in front of there
and the people I went
came up to me after the world
like people going
oh my God
he's close by
I could smell the reef
I was shocking
because bro
whenever you go on stage
it's like when you go to a concert
you're standing there
waiting for the band to go up
even if it's a warm-up band
and all of a sudden you're uncertain
even though if you're high
and you had a drink or two
but once you smell the marijuana
you know you're at the right place
yeah no no I've been there
I like to smoke blunts a lot before mine
sure
but let everybody get the air.
It's like the whole room gets cleansed.
The spirits, the bad spirits go away.
This is the case of bad comic leaves bad spirits in that motherfucker.
I want to congratulate Paula for passing her bar.
It's very tough to pass on the first time.
A Mexican woman making ways for herself, you understand me?
She studied all summer.
She totally no sucky-sucky.
To pass the bar exam and shit.
That's the only bar I want.
It was worth it.
Apparently, like, only, like, 57% of people failed.
So over half failed this time.
It's usually close to 50-50.
What's the plan now?
Now the plan is her to look for.
She's been working, but it's been not pro bono, but, like, stuff, like, so she can help
around the office.
She wasn't really a lawyer.
But now she can start doing, like, go to a law firm, and it's pretty crazy.
Like, she has to do, like, community service first for, like, those probation hours?
It wasn't really community.
If she was getting paid, but it was like, it's like a, it's like a, a group that helps with mental health issues.
It's not a state thing.
Okay.
But then the school, it's something weird.
It's something that the school does.
So how old is Paul now?
26.
So, now you go work for the prosecutor's office.
You look up shit for a year.
Okay.
You look up different fucking statutes and shit.
And then you move up one.
And now you're in there talking with them in the circle.
they let the Mexican girl come in here.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you've got to earn that chair.
You know, it's tough enough being a woman.
It might mean a woman of color in that fucking firm.
You have to have a certain attitude.
Those women to make it have to have, you ever watch Law & Order?
Whenever it's a black attorney, they don't fuck around.
Hell, they can't fuck around.
And they'll put La Migra on you right away.
Don't say a fucking worry about black people.
I'll put fucking ACLU on you, motherfucker.
So it's really, you know, it's a great thing to see.
you know like what paula did so it's five years around the court system
prosecuting getting to meet judges clerks they're the ones who run shit yeah that's
a mean remember the clerk runs shit okay oh yeah when you go to court if you got a badass
attorney that motherfucker'll get you on the docket you give them you give them that retainer
watch that motherfucker go to work well they said I can't go to court for 72 hours now I'm
gonna get you on the docket this morning let me call my assistant put them on the thing at 901
I want them out of here by lunchtime yeah
You know, I'm going to set a bail.
Look, if they're going to go for $25,000, I'm going to talk to the clerk.
I play golf with the judge.
I'll tell the judge that you're a good kid.
You don't have nothing else, nothing you need to hide, right?
They always ask you, right?
I've been there, you need to hide.
Let me go in there.
The bail is this.
They how you for a fucking anklet, and there you are.
You just don't learn that out of fucking law school.
That's a hustle.
You know, the best attorneys I ever dealt with were the ones that did blow.
We're the ones that were kind of crazy because they walked,
the side of the fence when you have a tight stick up your ass like the guy that
represented me for the kidnapping he was brilliant how much was the retainer on that
that's a lot of fucking money it was 10 damn this is in the 70s this is 88 10
10th 29 anniversary it was the 10th it was a 30 29th anniversary on Friday I
celebrated every year I call them and leave me a message you called me back three days later
Damn it.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
I remember when I guess I got in a sentencing attorney.
There's tournees now just for sentencing where they're like, hey, we'll make sure you get the less sentencing.
And I did.
He got the great bodily injury enhancement kicked off.
And that's three years.
I gave him 10 Gs as well.
Hey, you know what?
You can pay your way out of those years.
I gave him 10 up front, five before I got sentenced.
Damn.
And 2,500 when I got out to that.
do all the community corrections paperwork and all that shit.
Oh, yeah.
But this guy worked a miracle because, first off, he fought to get the nonviolent, to get,
he fought real hard to get the violent thing off.
He goes, if I can't get any violence, so he went through my police record,
there was one thing when I was a kid that I actually went to court for.
And how old were you?
18.
I was 19.
Fuck.
Disappeared.
Disappeared.
disappeared. Thank God from Lutberg in New Jersey where I came grew up at. The real sponge
out. Just disappeared. Okay. So that was number one. Then he got a private investigator to go back
to Jersey and investigate everything. I had to pay that motherfucker too like 10. Yeah. That's the real
killer is the investigator because the investigator comes back with paperwork. And then he went
and convinced them not to hit me with a violent crime of violence.
Because when you do a crime of violence,
if you get nine years, you do eight and a half.
Yeah, it's 85%.
It's 85%.
So he goes, no, let's get that switch.
So he got me second-degree burglary,
accessory to a felony,
and there was something else.
Probably something else.
What else that I get convicted of?
Two of them, no, no, because I had two felonies.
Aggraved, whatever was, second-degree burglary.
Aggravate assault.
accessory to a felony oh yes that's and that was the one that held me up a little bit
so as soon as I got sentence I got four years but two days right in the system
they tell you come here you're nonviolent yeah you're done you're the house bill
1,200 house bill 1200 cuts that sentence right in a half so four to 48 months
becomes 24 and you're eligible for a halfway house at 18 you don't get to go
and a halfway house till 16 months so basically you did i did two my did a month in county which counts
for two yeah those are double credit so i had 22 months to do right off the bat 90 first day as soon as we
went to as soon as i got sentence he filed the motion reconsideration on 120 days so no matter what
yeah i was okay i had vacuum even if the reconsideration failed he would so i went to work i
I started writing the attorney letters.
I started writing the judge letters.
I'm at Canyon City, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
I just did this.
I wrote that motherfucking judge a letter every week
I was in jail, though.
Wow.
That turns their life around.
Did they ever write you back?
Yes.
They do.
Yes.
And then he not only wrote me back,
but when I went to court for reconsideration,
he spoke to me.
And he spoke to me like a human being,
and he said, listen, man, those letters meant the world.
Handwritten letters.
Every Friday night, he got him by Tuesday.
Yeah, it was the effort that you took.
And it was like every three weeks, he'd write me a letter and say, thank you very much.
I see that you're trying really hard, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You know, I could see the, I remember the one letter he wrote that he could see.
I was trying real hard, but that I didn't address the main situation, which was coming to terms of what I had done.
That's why you're sitting in that fucking barracks right now.
And I accepted it.
What are you going to do?
You got to write.
In other words, you got to write letters, cuck, suckers.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Hey, you know what's crazy is what you just said?
I didn't know until this last case I took because the judge was like, I'm going to give you three years half time.
I go to prison and then, you know, you got to see a counselor there.
Your counselor breaks you down.
And she was like, no, you're doing 85%.
So I wrote the judge and I said, hey, man, check this out.
You told me this.
They're telling me this.
he wrote me back he goes hey man
sorry about what I said but
you're with them now
and that was it I did my time
he wrote you back yeah he wrote me back
and it was like a classy ass letter
did you ever write him back and tell him thank you
you should write them back yeah yeah
because they always write those people back it's so weird how
and then when they released me
I took a couple months off I started
fucking up in the halfway house and I still wrote
them letters once a month I just didn't mention
the damage I was doing
at the halfway house because for the probation violations they would never bring me in front of him
they brought me to a different judge like this lower class yeah it's exactly really mentioned it
i just talked about my job and i was trying to get back into see you and blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah and then something happened something fucking happened when i got out of the system i wrote
him a letter when i got married i wrote him a letter oh i know i kept writing this due letters dog
Fuck yeah, super pin pal.
But at the halfway house,
I heard those are like prison parties.
Like my friend's time, like,
dog, you live in a bunk.
It's you and your friend.
And it's like,
I say a room like this would be a bunk of, what, six people?
Yeah.
Is it?
Seven.
Fuck.
Seven in a two-bedroom apartment or three
and a one-bedroom apartment.
In Boulder on Canyon Boulevard,
this is,
you know,
I don't know if it's Canyon.
I might be right.
There probably is wrong.
I'm thinking of Laurel Canyon.
And it was an apartment building.
I know Laurel Canyon.
Okay, no, no, this isn't Laurel Canyon.
This is Boulder.
It was an apartment building that the, it's a business, and people really need to understand that.
Prisons are a business.
Yes.
Halfway houses are a business.
So there was a group of people, three or four people that were the owners.
And they had LCTC and BCTC.
And they also had Boulder County Correctional Treatment Center.
Okay, I got you.
Longmont Treatment Center.
And what you did was it was a halfway house.
So they rented the apartment buildings, right?
They bought the buildings to the property.
Then they got the state to fund them.
To fund them and pay for the apartments.
But guess what?
They charge you.
Not a lot.
They don't make you 75 bucks a week.
Yeah, because you have to get a job.
And like, I guess you get a shoulder check.
You're not allowed out to you get a job.
You're allowed out to get a job.
Okay.
You're allowed out.
Like, if you don't have a job.
you're allowed out from 9 to 12 and you have three hours to list the places you went to how you got there show them the now you got to show them now you're dead if you're in the system right now you're dead because if you're in a halfway house I can't even imagine how they program yeah they got your social media well actually I do know how they do it because I remember I should do a before all this comedy shit I used to be a telemarketer I was that guy that would call you and try to sell you time sharing shit like hey I'm calling for Pacific more on
You're on the Mustang.
And they had those people doing telemarketing.
They were like, oh, like we live in this halfway house.
Like the company, they were in together.
They were like, just give us all these people.
We need them to make calls and we'll give them minimum wage.
And you guys can take your cut.
It's fucking super business.
It's a business.
This place, it was 75 bucks a week, but you got food, like your own food, nothing healthy.
frozen pizza, TV dinners, bread,
really cheap ass salami and ham,
really bad cheese.
What area of town was it in?
I was just imagining...
It was in a pretty decent part of Boulder.
And where people freak out,
what people look at you as you were coming in and out of it?
They had a back entrance.
They had like a glass window.
And you walked in, they had to buzz you in.
And then there was a bathroom right there
because if you opened up your folder to sign in,
if there was a red dot on your phone,
You had to pee.
You had three hours to pee.
What people don't understand is there's some people who could do time and get it over.
I could do the time and get it over.
Can I do 10 years?
No.
Can I do 15 years?
I don't think so.
But to get like a short time, a short sentence, three, four years, two years, you could do that.
A lot of people cannot make the adjustment to a halfway house because they're complete.
It's harder.
Different type of rule.
Like I remember they would take them one person a day out of there. Yeah, and they didn't do anything bad
They were somewhere they weren't supposed to be like a girlfriend's house
Yeah, they were caught driving
You know little infractions they would send you back I've been very lucky I don't I haven't had any issues
I've heard probation is us like a fucking son of a bitch like it depends what type of probation
Formal informal informal
Depends there's levels for what you do
if I say listen
if you're a fucking junkie and I go
you listen you're gonna come in here once a month
I'm gonna get a piece of your hair
you're dead
you got two years
you're pretty much dead
you're gonna slip straight up with the hair
you're gonna slip listen
you have to leave and we've spoken about this years ago
that you have to
when you're on probation and I did it
guys I did it I did
14 months on probation
and knock on wood because I was
put on probation from
was it informal or formal that you had to check in right
oh fuck yeah yeah and I had a call the color on Monday Wednesdays and Fridays
and if your color comes up you got three hours to show up but they put a warrant
out for your rest you know then I got out of the halfway house and I was on
probation till 1991 yeah fuck I could never do that was till 94 guys oh so
So what were the rules of your probation?
My rules of my probation at this time, once I got out of county corrections, community corrections, there was three different levels.
There was the prison system.
Okay.
Then there's community corrections, work release.
Okay?
And then there's probation.
Okay.
So I was put on probation.
At that time, I didn't have to piss.
I had to write a letter
Pay a fee
$23 a month or something
And it was pretty easy
Once I went on probation
I didn't really get my problem
It was all over after that
Could you smoke weed
They didn't piss me
My attorney
My attorney made it clear
That's it
He made it clear no more
He's not in
He paid his dues
That's it
So I had no piss
I was working at the car wash
I was stealing
I was feeding my family
and one day I bumped into this DA,
I had known him for months.
And I asked him what he did.
He told me, I go, I'm on probation.
He asked me for what?
I told him.
He goes, when I go back to my office,
I'll take a look at it.
And about a week later,
he goes, listen,
have your attorney file a motion.
I'll get your probation.
Yeah.
Dude, parole is worse.
Parole is worse.
That's when they come to your house.
Yeah, yeah.
Unannounced.
Yes.
And it's like their mission to be like,
hey, I'm going to try to get you.
They tell you, I'm going to try to get you, dog.
Look at the UFC now.
Right with you saw it.
If you're in the UFC with Usada,
you have to zone in and tell them where you're going to be at all times.
What do you mean?
Usada shows up in your house, dog.
Is that the people that test for like that?
Blood.
Can you imagine you're out of fuck at the comedy store,
about to go on stage?
And these motherfuckers show up for a blood test.
I'm done.
I got to quit.
I can't handle that shit.
There's tapes of everybody.
The guy going into the shower with Tim Kennedy.
Tim Kennedy came home sweaty.
I want a piss test.
Can I go in the shower?
You can't leave my eyesight.
Yeah.
They walked in the shower with him while Tim Kennedy was in there,
washing him with the curtain opened.
And then there was the fuck another incident, somebody else.
Oh, Nick Diaz, they went to that motherfucker
and crazy man's house at six.
They told him go fuck himself.
He's going to sleep.
It's crazy.
I can't live on that.
Unless you've done that type of living,
and at first I I adjusted to the community corrections those motherfuckers would come to my house once a month
and like like would they knock or like did they have the power to raid your house no they come and knock
come in look around talk to my wife talk to me a little bit go in my office sit with me
let's go upstairs to your bedroom where's your office let me look at your desk they had the power
to open up your desk or something I don't know what it was they didn't have the power to open anything up
But if they smelled or saw anything suspicious,
Yes, that's exactly it.
And I remember one time me and two of my buddies,
like I went to, I got my attorney,
I gave my attorney like a grand.
And I go in there and tell them I'm going to fucking San Francisco for five days.
And this motherfucker went in there and told them
and I got five days off.
Yeah, you got a five day pass.
They asked me for everything, playing tickets, hotels.
The plan was
This is how fucking
Coki and Fiend the I was
I bought two tickets for San Francisco
I got hotel rooms for three of us
And I had a friend of mine in San Francisco
Go to that hotel
And take the calls in my hotel room
He was going to check in as me
Bro was a horrible scam
But for me to do what I wanted to do with my buddies
We wanted to go to Aspen, rent the hotel room
And snort Coke
Fuck.
My buddies flew out from Jersey.
I pick him up at the airport Monday at lunchtime.
Wait, wait.
So were you already in, you're already in Aspen?
I'm already, I'm living in Boulder.
So you told them you were in San Francisco.
Got it.
I tell the probation officer that my friends are flying in.
I'm going to bring them back to Boulder.
We're going to get something to eat.
And then we're going to drive back to Stapleton Airport at the time.
This is way before the airport that's there now.
And we're going to fly out to San Francisco around 8 to 6th.
clock how long is that flight to san francisco in those days three hours we got there 11 or something
okay i don't know what time exactly that was the plan well let me tell you something guys we they come
over i pick them up and their package is ginormous a big old like rock coke i'm talking two ounces
of coke for three days damn you guys brought snow to the snow dog this motherfucker came in and we
because it was two of my buddies one was very conservative
but he snorted like all of us,
but the other guy was just a wild man.
He wasn't in my house two minutes.
He was showing it to me.
It was two pieces.
He broke it.
We grinded it up.
We started snorting.
Do you know we're in there about a nine and a half talking?
It is a door knock.
It's my motherfucking probation officer.
And it's you and three dudes in the room?
Two dudes.
And we're upstairs.
And he's knocking, knocking, knocking, knocking.
And then about 20 minutes.
He leaves and my phone rings.
Oh, we're up.
fucking paranoid.
I'm busting. He catches me.
He gonna piss me. He kept calling me, calling me, calling the house.
Then he left and I saw that he went up the corner and parked.
And he took off. Me and my buddy's got that fucking rented car and took the fuck off.
And he asked me what happened.
And I told him that my friends got delayed.
Oh, good. Yeah. As long as you show up late.
That was it. I got away with it. He knew.
Yeah.
When I got back on Sunday, because I got back on.
Sunday to him
I was getting back Sunday or something
But I really got back on Friday
And those guys were leaving Friday
So that would give me a couple days to clean off
And I wouldn't have to go see him on Monday
It was something crazy
We were we were doing coke that I would have
72 hours to clean out
Yeah and that would be sweating flushing
I would drink fucking maylocks vinegar
I drank a bottle of vinegar one time and still
came up hot. Yeah?
Light distilled
vinegar with gatorade, dog.
Not even mixed. I would take a
sip of the vinegar and then drink
the fucking gatorade. You have no idea what
I did for that shit. You have
no idea. On a
Monday morning, I would wake up and I'd call
and it'd be my color.
Oh.
And I would have to run
and go on another water?
I would have to run and go to the
fucking safe way.
and get
and get fucking a bottle of white distilled vinegar
the big one
32 ounces whatever that big one is
not the little one guys
Yeah I know what you're talking about
Open it up in my counter
And I would stand over the fucking
What's the sink?
Yeah
And I would drink a fucking blast of vinegar
Which is didn't throw up ever
Sometimes then I drink the fucking
Just thinking about it
Oh my God
Yeah
And there's nothing in your piss to tell them
that you just drank a bottle of vinegar?
It doesn't matter.
Listen, it doesn't matter.
I never passed it with that shit.
I didn't start.
I had to break the machine.
I would put like pool cleaner.
I would put pool cleaner in my turtleneck because I'm uncircised.
Wait, if you need.
Yeah, you got to put bleach or some bleach right there.
Oh, you're dick.
Well, if you knew you were going to do that, why did you keep drinking the vinegar?
Because at that time, everybody said that if you drank vinegar and cranberry juice, you would be coke.
I drank vinegar, a thing of Gatorade of.
a gallon of cranberry juice, a gallon of water.
I mean, when I walked in there, my piss was negative water.
Like, it was just, it was still clear in my system,
and I still came back positive.
Fuck.
It must have been like...
That was one of the...
Lee, just walking around knowing you're going to get a piss test.
It's a horrible, horrible, horrible, and not like mailmen.
Mailman might get tested,
and they can go eight years without getting to.
I'm talking about when you know you're gonna get tested once a week and whatever you do on Friday
Is not gonna be out of your system by Monday morning and the more you get high on Friday
They're gonna catch on a Monday and it's always on a Monday because they know the weekend is where the real party
Weekends at the real parties at
So why even like is that why people won like I'm surprised if you know you're gonna get a hot test and go back to jail
You're why do you even go in and do the test the piss test because
you take a chance.
I don't know how your probation,
but I remember my pro officer would be like,
look, dog, if you're going to get fucking high,
tell me.
I don't need to do the paperwork.
Are you going back in?
You're working a little bit.
They kind of were lenient with you
if you were showing progress.
They're like, all right, look,
we're going to put you in a class.
I'm not going to lock you up.
They weren't showing me no leniency
because I was involved in a drug case.
So they went after my drug use.
I had to have to, they knew.
So they were show a bleach dick.
my God, you have no idea that things I did as a fiend in those days.
My heel, it took my dick to heal like 10, 11 years.
Oh, my God.
I had blotches on my helmet.
I wouldn't even ask people to suck my dick.
I would scared that they thought I was like a leper.
I had pieces of skin missing off my helmet.
It was disgusting for years.
Was it like albino-ish?
No, because I put Drano on my dick one time.
And I busted that fucking machine that time, and they knew.
I busted that machine like three times.
It didn't trust me.
One time I put Drano and the thing was flowing, it was what
Drano is the worst drug.
It was a terrible two years for me, guys.
Was it by your pisshole?
You like, so did you put drain all?
Like, I know you're talking about, I'm not circumcised either.
I put a piece of draino to cover my dick like, like Jesus.
They put them in a cave with that rock in front of it.
And then when he pushed it, that was the draino.
That was the draino.
That was how I would hide it.
because they were starting to look at my dick.
Yeah.
Like I would have to take my dick
and show it to the probation office
and go, see, I got nothing.
Oh, fuck.
Because there was a dude named Normulette.
Storming Norman Ullette was a bad motherfucker.
This guy was doing pounds of blow
in his fucking halfway house room.
But he devised a thing
where you got a hot water bottle
to old school, what your mom used to wash a monkey
once a month when he got, she got a period.
It was a hot water bottle with a hose.
He made a skinny hose.
And he'd scots tape it to his dick.
all the way down the bottom.
And when he had a piss, he had a device,
and he'd sit there and I can't pee.
And he'd be pumping his arm.
And the piss would come out and he'd be clean all the time.
Storm and Norman,
he'd figure out of the way how to go in there
with his jaw going.
And let me tell you something else about Storm and Norman.
Storming Norman was one of the best car salesmen
I ever saw in my life, dog.
Storm and Norman could go into a store
and cause havoc on a reels,
like on a real basis.
he worked with me for two months
and I learned more for Storm and Norman
and he wasn't a thief car salesman.
He was a very good car salesman.
He just knew how to put you in a bind.
What was his approach?
Like put you in a bind or was he...
Tell you that your car is a piece of shit.
Tell you how bad it was going to last.
Tell you what the value was on it,
why it wasn't going to work out for you.
You're a nice person.
You're a family.
You got three kids.
You can't count on that fucking car.
And I don't want you to drive that car no more.
Come on inside.
I'm going to take care of you.
Let me show you this car.
And meanwhile, every car he made a $1,000 a price.
He was a great fucking sales phone.
But he couldn't stay clean, Storm and Norman.
Storm and Norman was worse than I was at that time.
Storm and Norman made me look like a fucking choir boy.
Yeah, I have some pretty crazy Coke stories, too, man, like the Coke buddies.
But like being on jail, when you were in jail, were they doing blow?
You know what?
I don't think so.
I mean, I know they were, but that was one drug I didn't see because it's,
Imagine being there fucking paranoid and you really can't do show.
You can't leave your cell.
It would suck.
When I was locked up at every level, there was drugs.
That's what really shocked me.
And I never, ever, ever, because it was a scam and a half.
They called them matchbooks or something.
So a matchbook of weed, which is basically two joints.
Fuck that.
It was 50 bucks and your wife had to put money on the guy's books before you got it.
Coke for a little, little taste.
The kids showed me once.
It was two-tenths.
It was $100 they charged.
It was good Coke.
I didn't do it with him.
I could just tell it was a nice little rock.
It wasn't re-rocked.
It was shiny.
For what you paid $25 for, what were they, at three-tenths?
He paid a hundred bucks.
And he was telling me, he goes, it lasts me two weeks.
How?
Yeah.
And he goes, I do a little bump here and there.
I'm like, fly at night, I jerk off.
I watch TV, and I fucking roll over.
over and go to bed. What are you thinking? The heroin was rampant.
Oh, that's how you're in shittery.
You know, and then the white dudes, like the supremacist and the guys that KKK and the bikers,
they were heavy into the speed. Oh, yeah. They were heavy into the speed. And they got it
brought during visitation time through the mouth. I read this article about this dude who did
acid in prison. That seems like it would not. I did acid in prison. Wow. Oh, my God. How
was that? Tremendous.
Oh, no. You recommend.
Did or what?
It was,
I became friends
with the librarian.
Oh, yeah,
there's always a fucking
free staff.
The librarian had glasses.
He was in there
for murder, and his wife
and the mailman.
This is some of the truth.
He had 2,000 years.
He had 2,000 years.
He wasn't going nowhere,
but they trusted him,
so they put him in a camp.
No.
And he was a librarian.
He had like 10 years left,
to be honest with you,
and I was, wow.
He had already done 15.
If I was 27,
he was 45.
I'd love 27.
No, he was a hippie.
He rolled his own cigarettes,
and he was very intellectual.
Oh, yeah.
And I would go in there to read the paper
after I'd wash dishes.
In that stock room, I'd go in there and reap the paper.
And he would talk to me from time to time.
Then a couple people going to read the paper
and we'd have conversations.
And me and him stuck together.
He was from Buffalo.
And one day, he told me he could get it.
Because I do it all the time, man.
because they can't test you for that.
Yeah, well, I don't know what, yeah,
they don't think they have to test you.
They're going to test your spine or something,
but not to throw you off.
See, I also figured out the rotation for my P test.
What's called the rainbow test
is very expensive.
And the state gets sick and tired of paying for those.
Okay, I bet by now you're paying for your own piss test.
And that's killing motherfuckers.
No, they're not doing, like, what they're doing now
is they're not even having you on parole anymore.
more really you have like a probation officer now it's like over assigned but to the piss in the
bottles they take your hand out here no uh you have to piss uh you don't even have to piss in front
them no more really but you got a piss in that room a special room they got and you just take a piss
and then they'll let you know by the end of the day if they're gonna come get you the secret of
probation is not to go out at night yeah the temptation that's it that's it once you come to that
conclusion that you could take your dog for a walk, meet your friend, and smoke a joint
your neighborhood, and go home and be in bed by nine and lift weights and read a book
or watch TV because you have to get so into your job.
That's how I did.
I got so into my job and so into what I was doing.
If I bought Coke, I bought it in the daytime.
You follow I'm saying to you?
I know exactly.
I gave myself a reason to go out at night.
If you go to a bar 20 times eventually something's going to happen one night
When the cops come there you are
They take your name in the report
A month later your probation officer calls you and says why were you at that bar
That's it might take 30 days it might take 60 days
But eventually all these little things add up you know what I'm saying
You go to a party where there's fucking known people and there's a fist fight
There's so many easy ways to trip up
You go home, get into an argument with your wife.
The cops call the neighbor.
The neighbors call the cops.
You're going to jail.
There's dose.
It's such a fine fucking line today.
If you have any police contact, you have to report it within 24 hours to your parole officer.
A, I've seen this cop I got put over.
This is his name.
And then boom.
For me, not leaving the house, like it would be annoying to not be able to leave the house tonight,
but it wouldn't be a big deal.
Who the fuck are you kidding?
Is it front?
Who the fuck are you kidding?
You'd fucking get food shipped in.
You would shower at night maybe.
You would sit there, come out,
looked around the sun and go,
not for me today.
If you could edit from the house
and not leave your house lane,
I would worry about you.
You wouldn't even,
never see the sun.
He would get food delivered
all three meals.
You think I'm kidding?
Is he one of those guys
who gets his fucking food delivered?
And he won't leave that fucking
house if you let him. When I first met him, he got grubhub,
the other shit. Some dude delivering your food, you know,
get him. The Utah today, like some fucking bum delivers
my food. He's in a car. You don't deliver it either?
Not anything. I let those Italians deliver.
They deliver it right to my fucking door, and it's the same guy
every time. I have what's up, buddy? How are you? Great
to see you. You got the insalada.
Fuck yeah, I got the insolada. Look at the fucking size of me.
Man, you know what I had, speaking of food, you know, you remember soapest?
Fuck, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Where did you have, man?
Hawaiian gardens.
Old ladies, like paisas, like, like, mantel only, and they don't, there's more white people there than Mexicans.
Eating the food.
It's legit.
That's what keeps the fucking lights on.
Yeah.
It keeps the lights on.
Pedro and his eight kids, they come in for fucking toastas.
And everybody goes, oh.
Yeah.
It's the white people that like eating guts and tripas and fucking.
tongue and they have all that
this culture oh my god
Juanita she's been our wait just for years
now
you know what kind of like
trips me out is like the Mexicans
will treat their whites better than you
because they're like hey dog you're gonna keep
coming here if these fools give us a bad
review we're gonna get shut down
and notice like when I go to
like Thursday one
Taco Love right by the La Factory
they brush the street
yeah they treat me like shit there
and it's a trip
are they any good that rest of
sucks I just wanted to try it out I heard it sucks yeah how about the other one you go the other one on sunset across from uh
that one used to be very good I think I know you're talking about and they have the fancy ass plates that are real heavy
this is no this is a cross from where balushi killed himself oh and Richard prior on sunset
Boulevard right there when you make the turn on sunset there's a billboard and it's right before
pink dot is it by ping down no it's on the other side oh you're coming from laurel canyon
You make a right to go to the comedy store.
There's that mall right there with a Kung Fu school and the McDonald's on the corner.
Yeah.
Okay, you keep going.
20 yards is a liquor store on the right.
You keep going.
Now there's a bank on the left.
You keep going and there's a little Mexican hut right there.
I'd never been there.
Okay.
They're great.
Yeah?
But it's $30.
Oh, my God.
They got these fucking potato and like a thing with the sauce on it.
Jesus fucking.
For 30 fucking dollars.
No, no, no, but it's like, it's two people.
Okay.
It's me, you, if we get, you know, an appetizer, a small, and the special, like three
tacos, rice and beans, and a soda, you know.
You get that in the hood for $10.
Where I live, it's like the tacos are a dollar, and you can get eight tacos, and they
give you the avocado.
Like the lemon, they grow them in their backyard.
Eight bucks, dollar for Horchata.
That's nine bucks for like two people.
I love where I live.
I live like on the border of Orange County, L.A.
So the food is ridiculous.
I'm lucky.
I mean, everybody has good food everywhere,
but I can't give it up to the Hollywood Boulevard or sunset food.
It's too expensive and they don't treat you right.
Joe's on Hollywood Boulevard is good, the pizza joint.
There's a little mess.
I've been there.
There's a little Spanish fucking Honduran.
El Salvador family that owns a juice stand.
They've been there.
They've been in Hollywood, bro, since I moved here.
I've been eating there for 20 years.
I'd go in there when I was all cooked out the next morning.
They make pink clouds, milk with whatever, a little bit of honey.
They make love to natural fruit.
And then they make four types of sandwiches.
They make a tuna on whole wheat.
They make a fucking turkey, right?
Lee, I'm taking you there.
I've gone there.
Chicken salad.
Oh, it's delicious.
Have you ever had salt?
Pesley? Oh yeah, I've had
I've had all that because of Paula
And I've talked to people
And I know there's some great fancy
Mexican food and I haven't
I haven't tried like I haven't tried fancy
But my problem with the other like
Not even El Dorito because that's even too
That's horrible. That's horrible.
That's horrible.
Any sort of Mexican restaurant
That's like tries to be too fancy
I don't I don't like it
It's just it doesn't seem
I'm an Alcapulco type of motherfucker
Yeah, I can't
The water's Silver Lake, I'll go there.
I haven't been there.
I've got to say five fucking years.
But the lunch special that Acapulco, like on Tuesdays, it's basic.
Cheese enchiladas, some rice.
They got a great fucking soup there.
They got desserts.
I don't touch the desserts.
I like Mexican food, but I'll tell you what,
I do not like when they turn a simple menu into an expensive menu.
Yeah.
That's what gets under my craws sometimes.
If you want to charge me that,
you better justify it.
It better be that good.
Like you said, they're dollar tacos.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Black beans and rice, whatever.
Yeah.
Cooked bean, what are they called them, pre-fried?
Yeah.
And rice, three dollars for the whole fucking dish.
And it's a dish that can kill a mule.
You know?
They give you extra tortillas, you know.
But then you go on to someplace
and they want to charge you 1895
for that fucking plate with three little pieces of meat
and whatever.
that's you know and listen it's everybody has their own taste that's uh yeah that's the beauty of
this george prez you've been on the fucking podcast tale lately i ain't fucking around dog and i'm
adam carola yeah that was crazy that was fucking crazy they just called you out of the blue uh yeah
well this guy named i'm doing the mangria tour i adam carola has a i p a beer and he has mangria
and they're doing a tour with their band and they like me and redband
So they called us up there
And last time we did the tour
Red Band got to go on Corolla
But this time
You know a man
Dr. Drew was there
What did he say?
He didn't say shit to me man
But I could tell
He wanted to like to hug me or something
You can't stop snorting
I can't stop snorting
I got a friend
I just I don't know
It was a trip
I had to play with his head doctor
Dr Drew
Dr. Drew haven't done drugs in two weeks
But I'm dying to snort a fucking kilo
Right now
I'm about to call some of the Sunday
I had to drop off a fucking kilo and a half.
And a backpack.
You're really making it work for yourself, my friend.
Hey, man, I'm taking your advice.
I'm grinding and I'm going to take it to the next level as far as, but I'm,
dude, I see, hey, Joey, man, I remember you're the first one of our generation,
you're like, but you know what I'm talking about.
You're the first one to go into podcasting that I followed for, and you and Lee are
killing it, dog.
We're trying.
Yeah, now you're killing it, dog.
That's why we have you on it.
We love it.
I was at a birthday party today, and I was like,
fuck, yeah, I'm coming.
It's amazing what the platform for podcast has become.
I know a lot of people now, when I go to shows,
I talk to a lot of people after the shows,
they all talk to me about the different podcasts they listen to.
And it's really interesting that this is it.
This is the next medium.
I don't know how long will last.
Me and Leah and this thing,
to the fucking wheels fall off.
Because I don't give a fuck about the money.
You know what I'm saying?
We'll make it work one way or another.
This is just really getting what you believe in out,
letting people know who the fuck you are from the inside out.
That's the most important thing.
People call me up all the time they go,
I'm trying to put together a podcast.
It's really funny.
You know what?
There's a lot of funny out there.
Maybe people want you to tell them are funny with a story
or how you got there,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Whatever.
This has become more intimate now.
Entertainment has become more intimate.
Yeah, they don't know what you're doing or what your upbringing as far as, right?
Anything.
Listen, man, the most important.
I was always raised to believe, and if I believed it for a while, everybody believed it.
Everybody is raised to believe that these so-called celebrities are better than you.
That somehow they drink a certain milk.
That's better than you.
That somehow they were raised better than you or something like that.
And I don't know, I always felt that that was such a bullshit story.
When people call me a celebrity because I've been in movies, I get pissed off.
I'm a dirty comedian, bro.
I got to a movie because I saw a breakdown.
I said, you know, I needed Coke money.
If you notice, since I stopped snorting Coke, I don't really want to be in the movies no more.
When I was doing Coke, I want to be in the movies because I wanted that fucking scale money.
You know, I want 10 days on your movie set at fucking...
scale plus 20 hours all the time yeah now I don't want to do dick I want to do
stand up and I want to come through the podcast with my little Jewish friend over
there what's the next Jewish holiday brother probably I think a couple weeks right
I don't know it starts Christmas Eve this year it's late it's late yeah yeah I was just
thinking about it's I don't know you're gonna bust out the black suit and the
fucking codfish liver I didn't know what you're gonna do I'm gonna
Hanukkah is pretty cool it's eight nights I'm looking forward to it so talk to me by your
in a Pismo Beach.
Oh, dude, it's great.
How was the hotel room?
Hotel room was a little janky.
I'm going to be very honest with you.
A little janky.
What's janky mean?
They didn't.
It was nice, but like, not really.
Like, they didn't really take care of it.
It was weird.
My girlfriend was laughing.
The housekeepers were white, and they were loud as fuck in the mornings.
Yeah, they had, like, walking up and down the halls.
The free breakfast was terrible.
Like, the eggs, the scrambled eggs, tasted like they were, like they made hard-boiled
eggs and just chopped them up and then and then like the waffle mix was sour so we said fuck that
uh but though the bed bed was nice it was a great area but there was no traffic there it was amazing
it was the beach the beach was right there we we saw a seal just out there was fucking cool
uh we went the butterfly thing was that was kind of cool it kind of freaked me out because there were
like i think they said 25 000 butterflies and they kind of like cling onto each other
and make a little bug grenades.
I don't like that.
But yeah,
last night we went and got two steak.
We got two ribbyes.
And yeah, it was just that's,
I just saw it.
Did dessert last night?
Fuck, yeah, we got dessert.
What did you get, though?
Oh, fuck, what was it?
It was like a toasted marshmallow thing.
Like, they toasted a marshmallow over, like, this ice cream thing.
It was like ice cream on, like, a little piece of cake.
Oh, my God.
This guy's a fucking savage, ain't he?
That's a super meal.
He's a bad motherfucker.
He don't stop.
He don't stop this poor kid.
No, you can't stop.
He can't stop.
They threw him off the fucking zip line.
We talked about that.
He showed up to zip line.
They took one look at that savage.
And they're like, listen, they're going to work out for you.
First of all, they said, don't start, please.
Don't even buy.
I got the whole story from a confidential source.
You let to put the brakes on.
You almost took down 10 people.
No wonder they want out of business.
They got 10 insurance claims.
They threw them up.
They wrote them up.
I don't know.
They're scam artists.
Like, Ken Zipline and I will zip wine again.
No, you will not.
I will zip wine.
Nobody will fucking let you.
He's on the 86 list?
Yeah.
No, I'm not on the 86 list.
He's on the 86 list.
I could have paid another $200 to try again, but fuck that.
You know you couldn't pay $2 an ounce?
You know why I had to pay $2 an hour for insurance.
That's why.
It was $150 for you to go down that fucking rope.
because you know what the chances of you breaking it
the same chances of me breaking it
high they don't make
they're used to skinny people
160 170 that's who's crazy enough

Think about reality Lee.
You're a skinny guy.
You weigh 150 pounds with a steak in your pocket.
And all of a sudden I'm ziplining with my little retarded helmet on.
And I'm trying to get momentum.
And I look up on top and you're the next.
You're coming down behind me.
What do you think that does to you?
Well, they're not still on the line.
They don't stay.
What line?
You're not even going to go down like a fucking...
Listen, if I...
Across the street, there's 50 fucking floors.
If I take a rock and throw it off the top,
by the time that gets to the bottom, it's a miss.
George yeah that'll go right through your head and come out through your fucking
yeah that's like you I see you I'm on the bottom trying to get momentum I see you

What happens if you're coming down on top of three kids?
They usually have...
Doing 82 miles an hour.
They don't leave them hanging there, like, to, like, pinballs to get hit.
Yes, they do, because you're going to be fast than anybody else.
I went through the training.
They take...
What training?
I don't know.
The high school kid took us through this thing.
You stand on the little platform?
Is there virtual reality training?
No, it's not virtual reality.
I'm a heartened-trained zipliner, but I just didn't pass.
I just didn't pass.
But you're 86.
I'm out 86.
He's 86.
He's 86.
Zip-Rip-List.
He has to group on with an identity.
He has to identity theft to go fucking Zipwling.
Oh, my God.
This poor bastard.
He's got to go to fucking Alvarado Park down there.
Joe, you might get some male saying you're going zip line.
Just give it to me.
I don't go ziplining.
I wouldn't do that shit either, and I'm skinny.
Unbelievable the shit I got to live with.
These are the calls I get.
Every week I get a new call.
I would have got this call this week.
I'm going to look at butterflies.
I just hang up.
I can't take that in my life.
28 years old going to look at butterflies.
You say I got to live with...
I sat through a butterfly lecture.
I know you did.
I know you.
It was a goddamn shame.
Were they playing that song?
Goodbye horses?
No, there was no songs.
It was real creepy.
It was just,
there was too many bugs?
Was there like a following there
too?
Was there other people looking at these?
Yeah, it's a state park.
They go to that same place every year.
I've been to order those up there.
I ain't never been on the butterfly.
I also went to the one down here in downtown
with the butterfly.
I think the baby.
Okay.
Yeah, go in there and you walk around
like a mortadale.
You look at the house.
fucking butterflies.
But this was just out in the open.
This is just out in the open.
And they're out in the open.
Flapping around?
Yeah.
Well, yeah, there was no nets.
Like, where I grew up, they used to have like a butterfly zone.
I never went in because I don't like fucking bugs.
But it was like inside a building.
This is just out in the open.
They just go to that same place every year.
It's fucked.
They're fucking smart.
But what do you mean a net?
Like a butterfly net?
Like SpongeBob?
There's no nets.
There's nothing.
There's just, well, like, there's no enclosure to keep them in.
Oh, they just take off when they want?
Yeah, well, they're just, they, they hibernate during the winter.
They come here.
These are the Western monarchs.
This is like a ghetto, uh, nature life channel.
He's like, they just come, dog.
Yeah, they come from Nevada.
They come from Arizona.
They come from Oregon.
And, uh, so it's kind of like the salmon.
Did you go to the movies last night?
No, we didn't go.
How come?
We just wanted to eat dinner.
We wanted to eat the steak.
It was fucking, uh, nothing really that big.
It was a new Harry Potter movie, so we'll see it some other time.
It's a prequel, correct?
Kind of.
It's a way for her to make another $2 billion before she retires.
It's not, it's just really, it's New York, like, I think it said, like 70 years before Harry Potter or something.
It's recycling all this movie shit.
With the stigma, not to me.
I was never a stigma to enjoy it because I grew up around people that had gone away.
and it was treated like somebody fucked up and was doing time.
You know, I grew up around a couple that he would get locked up every two years for four fucking years.
And she would get another lover.
And then when he'd get out of jail, they'd disappear and he'd go back with a husband until finally he killed them.
And they had a Marcella.
His name is Marcella, a black dude, a Cuban dude in Harlem.
I was a kid when all this shit went down.
So I understood it.
So when somebody said to me, oh, my uncle and my...
My cousin just come out of prison.
It didn't really affect me, but I'm not like most people.
You know, with all the stigma that goes with that,
like when you tell, like, if somebody went up to Lee and said,
one of your big business partners with you,
and an hour later, somebody called and said,
hey, that guy just got out of the prison for kidnapping and watch yourself.
Lee wouldn't take my calls no more,
not because I'm a bad person,
but just with the stigma that goes to being in prison.
Oh, yeah.
with the stigma that goes with it,
where you and me are in our lives,
especially in comedy.
I mean,
it affects me all the time.
I mean,
people look at us.
Like,
this isn't a tattoo shop that I have.
I don't have tattoos from a tattoo shop.
You know what I mean?
It's that,
you ever watch those movies when they got like the Cambodian gangsters?
They got the boats and shit.
Yeah,
that's how I feel when I look at those people.
I feel like people look at me like,
I'm like,
Cambodians, but it's just like,
bang, bang.
I know when I first got out going to sell cars,
how people handled me with like tender gloves for the first 60 days until I quit.
I didn't like the treatment.
I wasn't selling cars.
I was in shock still.
When I got out on bail, when I got out on bail, I was still mentally shocked.
And what happened, and I couldn't sell a car.
I could move forward.
So I went and I worked on a rental car.
agency but i remember i went right from county jail on friday to work at this new place on monday the
general manager was my friend he really liked me didn't care he was locked up at some time but i
remember how they treated me like they would whisper around me nobody really offering me donuts you
know what i'm saying when they don't offer you donuts you got a fucking problem yeah but then when i
went to hurts those people were cool as shit you know they didn't give a fuck the chick
up testifying for me. I'm a friend
on Facebook and still talked with.
She was a character witness. The dude,
Rich, he was telling me,
don't do the time dog. My brother
owns the fucking Hertz in Nicaragua.
You go down there and live like the
king and shit. Nobody will find you down there.
And then the other dude, Brendan
Corella, was the guy who got me the job.
He testified and wrote letters to the
judge for me. That was one of the best jobs I ever had.
I hurts. And I was doing some
crazy shit there, George.
Freaking with some freaks. I'd meet on the
there because they had a garage but they had a back garage it is hurts the same shit that
oj yes they were huge they were like the powerhouse of rental cars they're still huge i don't know
if there's huge as what they well everyone's ubering now so they're not doing the rentals or i don't
know well i know the uber business is cutting to everybody's lunch but there's people that want to
drive themselves and when you get off a fucking plane you know i don't know i don't know how i feel
about that listen I would right now at this point in my life I would if I knew somebody in
each town that was very cool and I could trust one person I would use them and I would do
more but do you bring and all this stuff you know Lee and I went to Boston a few weeks
ago we had taken hour and a half drive the one night on the way home that motherfucker
was doing a hundred no way he got oh that motherfucker got his home though by midnight
you got you got to tip him next to 20 he risked his ticket shift
Chris. The guy there was the speed limit. The guy back, he did fucking 100. Wow. I took my first Uber by
myself ever last night just to another bar and it was like weird. Like I felt like man,
if we get pulled over, I don't know. I was like this guy doesn't know what to do. Like I
couldn't smoke in the car. I couldn't do what I wanted to do. It was I didn't it wasn't a good
experience for me and this was just five minutes yesterday was my friend's birthday turned 39 no 40 and
we've known each other since elementary we got fucked up everybody went back to our our old
original town orange we got fucked up yesterday i moved it a couple times and i lived it a couple
times both of them had been remarkable i was in shock how fast it was and the price
Um, I like it.
I don't know about the airport one.
You got to wait on the line.
And all that shit, they can't drop you off.
I don't like drama.
Yeah.
Especially at the fucking airport.
Don't drama me up.
Where's the taxi scan out?
And don't make me two miles away.
It better be out here right now.
It's not bad.
It's drama for the drivers.
But for you, it's not bad.
They'll drop you off.
And to pick up, you just have to go upstairs to, uh, to barters.
It was weird.
to me because like like how you said that stigma like they were giving me to look like hey you know
we don't got no money you can't rob us right like it was just weird it was it was like a 60 year old man
and it was just fucking weird for me and i was drunk i was fucked up so maybe that was it too think about
this right now if you had a family and you had a full-time job and on saturdays and sundays
you could just get your car keep it clean put some waters back there a couple candies some business
cards and just give people ubers all fucking day and make 300 a day each day that's
2400 extra a month for you that's a real problem in your fucking car think about that right
now the same thing with lift you know Lyft sponsors the podcast you know why I think
it's a great opportunity I really is if you're a young man right now you're not working
you know many times I've asked all yeah I was and Lyft drivers why do you have this
there's either students,
a guy with a family,
or people that can't find a fucking job.
There's really,
if you have a car now,
there's really no reason to be unemployed.
And the great thing about all these companies,
there are that even,
let's say you don't have a car,
like they're financing,
helping you get cars.
Or you can just lease a car from like a rental place.
It's pretty cool.
So it's,
no, I mean,
it's cool.
It was just weird for me.
It would just because
by myself
Just by myself
Would you feel better in a cab?
No,
fuck,
no,
I'd never do that.
I'd rather drive
in like wrist
This is some stupid
I'm not fooled
I when I'm drunk
I fucking drive
I can't do that George
But I don't
Yeah,
all right
My bad
Can't do that my brother
Never never never
You know
As crazy as I used to get
And shit George
You want me to tell you something
George
I can look at the judge
In line
I can look at a cop
and tell you a story
and a half if I had one cocktail in me and I'm driving home and I'd see a police car
my system would go crazy oh now I can have an eight ball on the car be completely straight
to see a cop and act like Al Capone I even take my seatbelt off in front of them just to give
him a reason to pull me you know what I'm saying yeah when you pull up to a cop and you're
holding you got to be loose jack oh look at them up the window look around as soon they know
They know how to judge a person with a fucking body in the trunk.
They know the whole...
I look right at him.
I look right at him.
I giggle.
I cut in front of him a little bit, especially now.
I got nothing to hide now.
Now I fuck him.
Today I did it.
I was going to the weed store today and some dude was there.
At the light by whatever the fuck that is in Studio City.
And at the light, I stopped.
And I even looked at him.
And right while he was looking at me, I moved up a little bit.
I had my seatbelt on.
There ain't nothing in this fucking car.
I got no warrants.
I got no wants.
I got nothing.
You can pull me over and break my boss for what?
Are you just bored during the day or something?
Why would you do that to yourself?
Because I don't listen.
I don't break the speed limit.
Oh my God.
But you know why, Lee?
Because for years, I would have something in the car
and I had to act like a half a fang.
Like I was having a nervous breakdown.
Now, I remember being in the car with my friend Jody
and getting pulled over in Houston.
And she said to me, give me the Coke.
I'll stick it in my pussy.
Straight up.
That fucking cop.
That Coke was all pussyed up when I took.
that aluminum I had aluminum four I had a bendal I had a baggie she stuck it on her little
snatch who gives a fuck you know I because there was a lot of times I had done a line at nine
o'clock and now it's three in the morning and I'm fucking driving I used to cop in
silver lake and I used to live in Hollywood I remember and I remember one night
driving back from Silver Lake dog on sunset I thought I was gonna die that's the worst
I wasn't one of those people that could snort and fucking drive and drink
and driving. Here's the problem with drinking and driving, George, that I don't like.
There's 60 different angles, and you know that they all attack you all at once.
But the most important one, you lose your license, I can't do nothing with you.
I can't count on you.
No, that's a real talk.
I can't count on you.
And at this position in your life and who you are, can't lose your license.
No, I don't do it no more.
I used to be a soldier and do it.
No.
Dog, like I said, one that I did it, maybe 25 years ago, I got home and that was it.
I said, that'll never happen again.
That's it.
That game will never happen ever again.
You parked in the neighbor's garage?
No, I lost my mind.
I couldn't handle the pressure.
That's the one time I could not believe that I could not handle pressure.
If I'm in a car and I have two drinks and there's a cop, a delight, going in an opposite direction of me, not even thinking about me,
my leg will go crazy.
I start getting dizzy.
My breathing gets harm.
If the cop pulls over,
he'll know that there's something wrong with me
by the hyperventilation.
Now, do you know how many nights?
I was at the same line I'm talking about on
what's the street?
If you're drunk, you drive on,
Kennison said in his act,
don't drive on sunset, drive on fountain.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now,
I remember one night having a drink
and being in the passenger side
and that person I was with was drinking
and seeing a cop at the same corner
and I lost my mind.
Like that's how much it affects my alcohol system.
Don't get me wrong.
There was a couple bumps in my pocket
and I had a couple bumps in my nose.
I wasn't even driving, but I almost fell apart.
Now, do you know how many times I've been at that light
on other nights when I was by myself?
No cocktails in me, no reaffir in my pocket,
a license, everything's clean.
And at that same light I'm talking about,
I would take a gram a blow out of my,
I would, when I cop it,
I cop right there on Fountain and three blocks before Fountain in LaBreya.
I know exactly what.
Fountain Highland.
Where's the fucking sandwich place with the French fries?
Yeah, right then Fountain in Highland.
Fountain in Highland.
Right there's a gas station and there's nothing.
I could swear to my mother, I could swear to mercy.
but I did this at least 300 times
because when you pull out of my old dealer's house
and you made it right, that's how I got home.
So I wouldn't make a right.
By the time I made that right, George,
the gram I picked up was already crumbled.
As soon as I got in the car,
I would look around, I would be straight as an arrow.
But I knew if a cop pulled up,
I had an alibi, he would always give me a CD or a movie
or a cassette or a game.
It was always something between us.
And I always crushed the coke up real fine, and I cracked open the bendul so it was ready to go.
So I would leave that right there.
And right there, I would get a dollar bill, and I would roll it up, and I would fucking turn the car on, go up to the fountain, make it right, and head back to Highland.
Because I always knew that light was going to be red.
If that light was green, ooh, would I get pissed off at?
Why?
Because I couldn't stop and do a palm.
that light had to be red.
I would do two miles an hour to make sure
that light would be fucking red.
Lee, how long do you know me?
You know, I live by the green.
There's no red in my life.
If it's yellow, I'm taking it.
I'm taking a chance, beeping the whole time.
Don't do it, cocksucker.
Don't do it, cocksucker.
But I would set that red light
with one car behind me
and one car in front of me,
two cars.
I would look to my right to see he was in the gas station.
And right there,
at that same intersection, I would put a fucking dollar bill in that package,
holding on to the thing, and I'd make believe I was going to sneeze,
and I go, and I'd look at that package, and I'd do three quarters of the package right there.
Just on the way home?
Right there at that.
I'd save that last batch for after the first batch of paranoia,
and the first jerk off, then I'd do that one to get me through the night.
That's the second back to jerk off.
But I also knew that at 1 o'clock, John would get off of work.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, there's another 20.
Yeah, there was another 40.
I turned it to 18.
I'll give you 22 tomorrow.
Man, you know, I was talking to my friend the other day, and we used to tweak together, man.
And he turned Christian.
He's doing good, man.
He's great.
He's doing real good.
And he was like, Adai.
You remember that one time we were all tweaked out?
He told me that we're, I guess we were on speed.
We were like a kickback.
You know, kickback where girls do it with you.
but people got money, so they're drinking.
And he says that I was so tweaked out that if you know me,
I grew myself a lot.
He said that I was cutting my toenails in the living room.
And in my head, I was going, fuck, dog.
I was lost.
You know what I mean?
Like you were the bar cutting your fingernails?
No, I was at a party cutting my toenails in the living room where everyone was tweaking.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
That's the fucking, that beats Felipe's ordering spoons from room service.
Dog.
That was tweaking is possibly to me now
One of the biggest embarrassments
Thank you.
I feel the same way.
Of my life.
Yeah.
What's tweaking?
Okay, so right now, me, you, George, my friend here,
a beautiful miss.
Melissa?
Samantha.
Samantha.
Samantha.
Right now, George shows up,
and he brings seven.
He has a quarter-round's coke in his pocket.
for sale, but he's got three and a half grams.
And because we're his friends, it's 11 o'clock right now, 10 o'clock.
He takes out a few lines and we do a few lines.
And we got the refrigerator filled with beer.
Hell yeah.
It's 1043, whatever the fucking is.
9.43, right?
What's a 10.03.
Now, right here we're friends.
Paul is waiting for you.
You got plans tomorrow at 9 a.m.
You got the gym at 12.
You got another podcast tomorrow at three.
George has got an audition tomorrow at two.
I have the baby tomorrow at nine.
It doesn't matter.
George comes in.
Takes on a few lines we do them.
We drink a beer.
He puts out three more lines out.
We do that.
We drink a beer.
All of some, we look at each other and go, George, no more.
Be like, come on, what the fuck.
I drove all the way from Orange County.
We do another line of Coke.
And now we're chatting.
We're chatting.
And next thing, you know, we look at the
It's two o'clock, but there's six more lines of coke there.
And he just took out that little hostage he was holding in this pocket.
And he's not going to charge us for us.
We're family.
He's got seven grams and there's two big rocks, one big brother and one little cousin.
He knows in the back of his mind that Samantha wants that little rock.
That's how they're going to rock and roll later on.
So that goes in the side pocket, a little stash in this top little pocket up on top
with a couple Xanax as he has in there.
He probably has like an extra 10 Xanax in his pocket because that's how George
runs in the collar in the collar right so next thing you know lee it's six in the morning
we have 10 beers left there was two cases in there that nobody's touched for a month
there's 10 beers left you're figuring out how to get beer right now on the computer
pa was blowing you up the only way we fucking open that door is for you to pee
beside that this room is filled with cigarette smoke oh yeah
Okay?
I mean, it's just a horrible thing.
And next thing you know, it's nine in the morning,
and he still has half that rock in his pocket.
When we're not going nowhere,
people are working around this, the sun is out,
the birds are chirping,
cars are pulling up, Terry's calling me,
God knows,
Paul is calling you, your mom is calling you,
she wants to ask you a question.
It's 10 o'clock.
And now your shirt is off, you're filled with sweat,
you've been smoking cigarettes
even though you don't smoke
and you're looking out windows
because you thought there was a cop out there when you went to pee
there was a midget looking through the pee pole
that's a complete different one
that's the beginnings of it late
that's only the beginning of it
that's the beginning of it
then after about a year of that you get to the point
when George comes over now
and he does a line of Coke
the first thing you do is get up and lock the door
and then you check the windows
and then pretty soon
you'll tell me you got to install a security
camera outside and you'll sit here at night with the camera on watching doing coke with your pants
down watching you pouring at the same time jerking off and watching the security camera and jerking off
you're sweating you're drinking beer that's called tweaking i have this apartment in my complex
who their windows are it look i don't know what they used but it looks like they just took wrapping paper
and just went from all to all they just like the black wrapping paper something like that they just taped it
they just papered up their windows.
What are they doing in there?
God knows.
Jesus, I want to know so bad.
God knows, but they could just be people who don't like sunlight.
Somebody sleeps in there.
It could be that.
But it becomes such a horrible feeling late.
When it's 7 in the morning, your day is ruined.
And now you've got to stop.
And guess what?
You're not stopped until that last rock is gone.
You got to keep alive.
And you've already gone through four hours.
of hiding.
There comes a point where, like, one night I got together
with this buddy of mine, and I brought an ounce in there.
Beautiful cocaine.
It still cuts me like a knife.
Georgia was shiny.
It was 1,800 an ounce at that time.
Damn.
My deal was to pull an eight ball out
and throw 10 grams in and sell it for 100 a piece
and leaf rocks in there.
Yeah.
You know, I would grind it up, but I'd leave rocks in there
So a $100 gram is $100 gram, you know.
And the powder was even good.
And me and this knucklehead and my ex-wife go in there.
And when I pull in, I'm not high.
I swear to fuck on everything.
I'm not high, George.
But when I pull in there, I get out of the car.
And I knew there were people who were talking to me about trying to, I look up
and I see one of the curtains open and closed, like the little things.
Yeah.
And that stays in the back of your mind.
Straight up.
It's so weird that that night as I was driving up there,
I saw a cop double park.
It didn't affect me.
But that stays in the back here, mindly.
The window?
First the car, then the window.
So we both went in.
We're laughing.
His girlfriend was there.
We're giggling.
We take out this beautiful lounce.
We're giggling.
We had this living room situation.
There was a bathroom.
And then there was his bedroom.
And we started up, and that's where our safe was.
Me and him shared that safe.
So I'd put my coke up there at that time and then I moved it to a different safe because they knew
Especially after that night
So we went in there
All four of us were drinking giggling
I whip out the ounce of Rue
We do two three four lines
This is one of the worst things ever
Next thing you know me and this kid start going nuts
You know we're working the fucking shades
Wow
And he's from the south he's from North Carolina
And he's like man
there's somebody out there.
And now I'm out there, you know.
Yeah.
And now, and in my world, if they're going to kick the door down, this coat can't be here.
So either we got to snort this fucking soldier or we got to fucking throw it away.
Well, guess what?
You know me, dog.
I started snorting that thing, Lee, in lines that would kill a mule.
And your heart starts fucking beating and you get more paranoid.
And I'm looking around.
I'm looking and I'm hallucinating.
And I remember, I'll never forget.
And at one point in the night, there's still a beautiful rock left and like fucking three grams of powder.
And he yells because between the four of us, the Coke was so strong.
You could not.
Nobody could do it.
And I was doing quarter gram lines and still not killing this mule.
Face was going.
I'm hallucinating, right?
Like I'm seeing things.
And all of a sudden, this motherfucker yells, they got a dog.
Dog, I run, I take that fucking Coke.
I open up that toilet.
I throw that rock and I wash that thing
and I flush that toilet
I wait for it to come up
I clean it off again
and that was it
now we're fucking high
and nobody's kicking in the door
yeah there's not even a dog
after an hour of us sweating
now we want to coke
there's no coke
we're on our hands and knees
getting little crumbles
from the fucking floor
stick up in your nose
looking at each other
og carpet
and I never forget the sun coming up
and us finally opening
up the door, that dog
was a fire hydrant.
Oh my God.
It was a fire hydrant, but we were both so
high. We had hallucinated
it was a dog.
Where's Tony Bennett, Doug?
I would never want to be around
to pick up the
I would never want you to tweet, Lee.
I wouldn't want to either.
That point of it gets
horrendously and painful.
Especially when you dump 1,200
it down the toilet.
You're like,
what the fuck?
How are you feeling, though?
I'm pretty good.
I'm good.
Do you want to keep it?
Was that the most
you've ever thrown down the drain?
No.
No? Oh, no.
I tweeted a couple times to death, like,
one time I smoked.
The first time I really, really smoked crack.
Like it wasn't crack.
It was free base at the time.
And that's the stuff in the microwave?
In my buddy, I was on probation.
I had a piss on Monday.
And that was the last night my friends were in town.
They said, no, no, no, no.
We're going to cook in the microwave.
We were in a hotel room in Boulder.
And I took two hits of that.
And I ran into the shower.
And I wouldn't come out of the bathroom for two hours in the tub.
And when I finally came out, I hid behind the bed.
understandably
yeah
I was a grown man
I'd behind the bed
until it wore off
and then I joined them
and played cards
or whatever the fuck they were doing
they were howling their minds are
one night
so when my buddies came from New York
that time
they came on a Monday
sorry
I got a conender
I'm so sorry
that was the longest drive
I held on that
Monday
I'm on
probation and the party was Tuesday and Wednesday in Aspen and then we were driving back Thursday
and then we're going to get a hotel room close to the airport and leave early Friday morning.
So I wouldn't have done Coke Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
That was the plan.
So I would have been clean for Monday.
Okay.
So we have so much coke.
These guys come out from Jersey and they have so much coke that we do it Tuesday and Wednesday.
But Thursday night in this whole
courtroom, they're like, no dog.
I'll never forget this, Joyce.
They had a balcony, like on the fourth floor.
Did it have like a rail on it or was it?
It had a rail.
It was a beautiful balcony.
You open up and look onto the mountains and shit.
And the airport was a mile away.
I'll never forget that.
They go, I came out of the bathroom
and they said, we cooked it.
And the microwave rub and take a hit.
They were playing cards.
Two of these idiots are playing cards.
And they give me the pipe.
And I'm like, come on, give me a line.
And I don't, no, try this.
And I hadn't done this this 1982.
I didn't smoke coke.
I took two minutes of it.
George, you went right to my head.
I ran into the bathroom and I sat in the tub with the curtains drawn with the lights off for two hours.
Then I came out and I just hit behind the bed and would talk to them.
And they go, come off from behind the bed.
It was, you know, George, where does it take your mind when you get to that point?
It takes you to the places you never knew you could come out and get.
Now, I've been there.
I mean, I never smoke rock.
Not that I remember, but, man, I remember, like, you know, like,
listening to you tell the story, I want to jump in, but it's so, like, fucking joy.
It's weird.
Like, I used to do it.
The same shit.
And, like, the way you narrated tweaking right now.
I was like, it's the same.
And how loser is?
You ever go look at yourself in the mirror and see what you see?
I'm scared.
I get scared.
George Lee, if we started doing Coke at 10 o'clock at night.
When you come out of the mirror at four, you want to net a pee if you look at your face,
it's the worst look you ever have on your face.
You don't even want to look at the mirror.
You don't even want to look at the mirror.
You see everything bad about you.
Like that's the worst feeling of the night.
All the bad shit that you never comes out of you is what you see.
Addiction.
Yeah.
stupidity thoughts
I'm a loser
yeah everything that's in you at that point
comes to the surface
it's like
it's like fucking you don't even know
who that person is and sometimes
you cry and now you go do more coke
after you cry you go do more fucking coke
like an asshole that you are
because
I had done that before
oh my God I lived it I would cry
and swear to God this is the last night
I swear to God
May God take my life.
I'll never do Coke again after tonight.
I'm going to fucking lose.
I'm going to get my life together.
I'm a regular at the comedy school.
What does it matter with me?
And then I go into that living room and I finish that Coke off
and jerk off eight more times.
And then pass out.
And before lunch, I'm already thinking,
though, I've got to get another A ball.
If I'm going to stop, I got to have a real party.
I can't leave it like that.
Yeah.
I'm got a gram and a half.
If I'm going to stop, I got to say a Bon Voyage party.
It was your mom.
mind was really just playing a
fucking game with you, man.
I had to check myself because
there became a time where people were like
you know,
it's so hard to go to sleep when you're on
good Coke. It's fucking hard.
So I started making myself
throw up because when you throw up,
the Coke goes away too. I only needed
to be up until that time.
I was like, you know, it's 1 o'clock? I got to be responsible
tomorrow. You know, you try to act like you cut corners.
So I used to make myself throw up
and I will go to sleep.
But then it started getting scary, man.
This is the 90 in a row, the Thanksgiving at the table.
I can say thank you for fucking not let me snor coke.
No, dog.
I never.
Nine fucking years, George.
I know.
I could never even think of this time.
I never thought there was a life without doing blow.
Like, I didn't.
Right now, what I suffer from, like this post-traumatic shit,
and I got to tell you, you know what it is?
I figured it out this weekend.
I was taking a shower.
Even at 18, I figured out, if you don't have blow, there's no reason to go out.
I'm not lying to you guys.
In high school, when I was a senior in high school, I had already in my mind.
These girls are going to be there.
These dudes are going there for one fucking reason.
Straight up.
So if I ain't got no coke, I don't have the advantage.
I'm not a handsome dude
I gotta go on that sling with coat
and lure them back to the apartment
Al-a-Cosby and shit
all fucked up
and then when they get there
show me your tits
and then the next thing you know
you got them upside down
and you put them coke rocks in their ass
and the next week they're giving you a dirty
looks at the ball
like they don't know who you are
and shit
you forgot me straight up
what happened
that fucking freak show you did last Tuesday
what was that there's no love there
but that was it
in my mind
I remember Friday night
staying in because I had the money
for the Coke. But what
night should I go out? Friday and Saturday.
You know, back to like
you telling me how like you were
at the hotel and it almost got raided. Have you ever
been in a place that's been raided?
Like, or like around it?
Like, I remember I was at a hotel
because you know, all the hotel rooms are doing
it too. You think it's just you.
There's everyone's doing. I remember
there was a hotel room that got raided
right by us. And it
fucking shocked the shit.
That was this little, what's the young hotel in Vegas that's hip where they used to have the heart rock?
Yes.
That's the fucking crazy one.
That's the hotel where everybody's doing blow.
And what you do is I've told people, if you're a lonely guy, that's the hotel for you.
You wait, professional.
You got to be a professional.
All right.
If you want to be a fucking amateur, you can go out and jump up and down.
If she's with six girls and I want to hit on Samantha, I'm not going to law from the five girls.
there's one girl in there's going to go,
no, Samantha, he's not for you.
Remember what happened with Chuckie?
You know, there's always one lady
who's going to spoil your night.
Even though you like me, we work next to each other,
I got an eight ball of blow.
You know what I'm saying?
There's been a while since you left the house.
You know what I'm saying?
You're trying to get your shit together.
It's very tough.
So why would I go that, bro?
I love when guys are like, wait, wait,
this girl's going to go home.
She's not going nowhere, bro.
She's got three girls around her.
She leaves.
She's the first whore.
We got a lot.
or two of them, and they don't like me.
I'm the ugly ones, so I'm in no danger.
So you're in no danger.
If there was two good-looking guys,
then both of them don't look bad, leaving,
because at least one...
I can't believe Samantha.
Yeah, but so did Gina.
All right, let's go have a good time.
Maybe you guys should go look for a fucking man.
So you understand me?
So what you do is, at the heart rock,
is you go to bed nice and early.
You got like a grandma blow,
but you bring, like, two Xanaxers on Friday night.
You go to bed at 9.
You watch, like,
a family show
something on ABC family
bro you set that
alarm for 3.30 a.m.
That's when it cracks?
You take a shower, you put on your fucking
Gino machete's shirt
and you go right downstairs to
the 24-hour cafe
and watch the fucking bird come to the
fucking cat. Oh yeah.
You just make them believe you're reading the menu.
And they'll come right up to you. Are you
sitting here alone? All fucked up.
And right there at the table,
they even are.
What type of party is this?
Do we have a future together?
Are you waiting for somebody?
Because I got to rock a Coke
that looks like a pot. You said that Parmesan cheese
to the table? You see that rock in there?
How it gets hard, I got a Coke rock bigger than
that. Now, what do you want to do?
You want to go home with a story? Or you want to go up to
your room lonely with your six other loser buddies
up there passed out with no shoes
on?
What do you want to do? And dog
they fucking lure.
I'm not a good looking guy, and I didn't even have blow.
But I saw the waitress there from whatever, and I lured her to the bedroom with aspirin.
Because you always got to bring heart medication with you.
That bare aspirin, the white shit, you grind that down, you snort that at 4 in the morning when you're drinking.
You don't know what you're snorting.
You got to be a professional, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, my God.
I could never go back to Dukes after that, D.
I remember we did snort that one time.
It was like the burn of burns, huh?
When did we snort that time?
No, not me and you.
I remember I did it.
I've never done it with you.
No, 2000?
Yeah.
Because when we did whatever was 2007, 2006.
We did it in 2006.
It's hysterical because they paid me.
They gave us a hotel room.
I made it back from San Bernardino in 15 minutes.
I was at the Whitley Caching Check on Hollywood Boulevard,
cashing that $2,500.
I went right to the drug dealers out.
You know, because there's different mood when you go to drug dealers house.
Sometimes you have to go timid.
Like, how are you doing?
Yeah.
What's the matter?
I've had a rough day.
Listen, let me get a gram.
I only got $4,2.50.
I'll give me the other $17.50.
Then he gives you a lecture.
Yeah.
Dog, you can't be doing this shit to me. I ain't no fucking bank, you know.
Who you think?
You know what you think? You're all clean.
You go on there and give him the 60 for the G.
note and you leave but when you got deep pocket shit you're going in there
telling him how shitty is cocaine limit you tell you I don't need this shit I'm
doing you a favor all right give me the good shit from under the bed this

Clicking King of New York opening
scene. Oh! Oh! I'm going to show you a
masterpiece. This is how you show up
to a drug dealer's house, okay?
I'm going to show you something that nobody's
ever seen before. If it was my
world, this guy would have should have won.
The Academy of Willey, what are we doing here?
I'm doing it. Strike the computer up. I don't see
a screen. I don't see nothing. You're playing with my
emotions. I got to see it so I can
show it to you. I used to always show up
to the drug dealers house with like
Old-ass DVD.
Oh, yeah.
I used to show up with fucking sweatshirts and shit.
Yo, man, I know you don't wear sides nine Jordan's dog, but somebody does.
All right.
What's the reader from the top?
For the bullet holes, welcome back, Frank.
We got to get busy.
King of New York jumps versus Tito.
Yeah, that one.
The first one.
Whatever.
Here's for the bullet holes.
Go for that one.
I'm going to show you an education, ladies and gentlemen.
This you never seen this?
No.
Click this on loudly.
Oh yes, I have seen this.
This is OG.
This is why he should win.
This is why he's one of the best black actors working today.
Lee, you never saw this?
No.
This is what I'm saying, but you got time to go watch.
I was too young to understand this.
This is an Academy Award winning presentation by Lawrence Fishburn
in the beginning of King of New York.
Hit it, Lee.
I got another one.
Fuck, I look like Joe Neckbaum, man.
one of my stronger qualities, you know what I'm saying?
You fucking disrespect me, man.
I guarantee the shit not the hell we're testing and let's get to the large plus 10%.
Did he say 10%?
Wait a minute, Tito, man. We had a deal, man. What's up?
What 10% you're talking about, man?
Transportation, Coz, Amico.
I got expenses.
Well, take the train if you got expenses and transportation, man.
Why you want to be greedy, Tito?
You fuck the sucking greed. That's our price.
No one else even talks to you.
God damn motherfucking conios not take it or leave it.
Why you want to talk to me like that, man?
Take it or leave it?
Take it to leave it?
I take it.
Lawrence Fishburn.
Because I like you, I'm gonna take it.
Now watch, leave this Lee.
That's about that, man.
Watch this.
You're in power to you, though.
You're in power.
You're in power.
He's complaining about not having a soda at first.
That's how you walk into the drug dealers as when you got money.
Watch this, Lee.
Where's my soda?
Something for the bullet holes.
Bullet holes, Kootie.
That's Joey D.
Early. That's what I was trying to be right there.
Oh, my God.
Watch this one.
Watch this one, too?
Watch this one, too.
This is the man playing fucking Frank White.
Somebody here to see you.
Is that Robin Given?
No, that's the other black girl from the 80s.
That was badass.
Now, this is like the fucking best hotel in New York, Lee.
All right, this is after they shoot whatever his name is, King Tito, whatever.
But watching King of New York.
Damn, he's young.
Look at the guy behind them.
All these motherfuckers are still around.
What's in the cup?
Look at Obama in the left.
It's Obama when he was an extra.
There's some things I don't do.
Bringing Kito's hat of something.
The dude on the left tried to rob him on the train.
and he gives him a job.
This is way before he danced on Saturday Night Live, dog.
Congratulations, man.
The Columbia motherfuckers,
they took permanent vacation in hell, if you know what I mean.
My feelings are dead.
I feel no remorse.
Yo.
It's a terrible thing.
Yeah, I read in a gym, makes you feel like that, man.
That's a beautiful fucking movie, Lee.
You got to watch this.
That's an old school.
This is on HBO, like,
and it goes on for like four months
and then they yank it
you don't see it for five years
but when you watch it every time
it gets stronger
you watch like 30 minutes here
and then you go to bed
then you come home one night
it's on from that fucking part
you know it's pretty weird how it works out
but I don't even know what we're talking about
how's the edible hitting you go
it's hitting me good right now
my god this is tremendous those fucking
we ate the chocolate ball
those taffies were pretty good
yeah the taffis are always good
Well, the taffies, but then what do we eat?
The toffee things?
That toffee thing, they sell them for $10.
It's $250 milligrams.
You know, when I go there sometimes, they give me 20, 30% on.
So I just tell them, like, give me a couple things.
Give me that.
Give me this.
Give me that.
It's like $100.
Bang.
I walk out of there.
One day, I eat a Rice Krispy treat, which does nothing to me.
I just like the flavor of it.
And then about an hour later, I eat the fucking Krispy thing.
And I go about about my.
day and about two o'clock George Perez
I'm sitting somewhere and I'm hearing
sirens and shit
oh my God it's starting to go
like I'm starting to fucking lose it this is it
and finally I realized I had eaten that thing
I was high burning for like three hours
like I ate the whole bar and I was
burning the first time you eat an edible
it's a different whatever part
of the seed or whatever I don't fucking know
yeah it's you're never been that high
it's kind of we're bringing stars back
Tomorrow we get the stars at 11 o'clock.
Tomorrow night, we'll eat 10 stars apiece, me and him.
That's 1,000 milligrams because each THC is different than those stars.
He did an experiment this weekend that I knew what he was going to tell me.
I told him before he told me that we eat those things, those cushies.
They're 200 milligrams, okay?
Those 200 milligram four little glued things, they will fuck you up like a pill.
But what's like the regular thing?
Like what are you supposed to eat if you're new?
50 10 20 yeah what the fuck 30 40 50 maybe
Vicki Pez's uh boyfriend ate 60 milligrams deal on that of chocolate
you should have seen him fell out or goofy no he just was he didn't know where he was he was
there with us he was outside smoking like faking the funk I felt bad for him but not really he wasn't
like you know passed out you know and the experiment you were saying is I had so what happened was
I wanted a bunch of the 200s.
They were out of them, so they sold me the hundreds
for the same price. So I had
three of the hundreds, and I got fucked
them. Gone fucked up.
You got to get up and eat something.
Yeah, that's the worst. That's the worst.
You know, my wife bought those little sandwiches.
You know, like you have ice cream sandwiches?
Yeah. She bought the half ones for mercy.
Okay.
Doug. I ate ten of them.
She woke up. She goes, there's rappers everywhere.
What happened? I said, you can't buy
those things. I'm going to die it. I come in a
12 o'clock from two hours with Lee we eat fucking 20,000 milligrams and you want to get fucking ice cream sandwiches. I ate there. I got up, sat down, got upset. That was like a fucking yo-yo. And I finally took four of them out. Now you're committed. You know what I'm saying? I just finished the box. I just threw the whole box away. I'm thinking about my daughter now. In the morning, I got to go to Rouse and buy a box of these. I hope she didn't get them from Target. I got to go to their fucking victory. This hotel did have one of those little stores, though, with the candies. I didn't get it.
any because I get paranoid when I get high.
I don't want anyone to know.
But how much money do you guys spend when you get stoned on the road at those hotel stores?
Nothing.
No, you don't do it?
Yeah, I'll go get some food.
I avoid that thing downstairs.
Yeah, me too.
I'll get a water.
I'll get a soda.
The only thing I get to splurge on a Friday night, if I don't have to wake up Saturday, is
trail mix.
The peanut people make a little bag of trail mix.
and I take that upstairs to my room after I'm high and I eat those
and I'm good for the night.
Some hotels, they kill you with the chips and shit.
You know, some hotels have real fucking food,
which isn't bad, but you know what, man?
It's a process for me.
No, no, no, because the room service.
Like, when we went to that place last week,
we were spent the night, that's 24-hour room service.
Oh, at Foxwood?
Yeah, that was 24-hour room service.
and they got a tremendous menu at 3 in the morning.
I'm talking on an open turkey sandwich.
I looked at it.
God damn, 24 hours.
I get an open turkey sandwich, Vegas.
When we go to Vegas, that's 24-hour room service.
You don't really have to eat shit.
You get a salad at 4 in the morning, you know?
I haven't been...
If I watched you $85, but you're eating.
Sorry about that.
No, you're good.
I'm fucking starving.
Right now.
I go for like four potato tacos right now.
If that motherfucker is open, we miss both of them, Lee.
We can't even hit more park right now.
Oh, Grasso, whatever fuck.
They close on 11 on fucking the Lord's Day.
With some taco-eat motherfuckers, me and Lee.
They got to leave as an employer the month down the block on Burbank.
They took a picture of them when they had so many tacos.
I had to get behind there and help out.
They were busy on Taco Tuesday.
And he knew exactly what they were doing.
Oh, yeah, I know the order.
Did you eat some tacos in Pismo Beach, there, Tazan?
No, we didn't.
We went to the place.
Let me tell you something.
But I'm even telling you right now, and this is my witness,
when you drive up to any of those towns
and you pull over to get gas, there's always like a food truck.
And you go up to that food truck, and you will get the best tacos
you've ever had in your life.
On the way to Visalia, the only thing about the gig was
that like three exits up once you hit the 170 or the five.
It is the 170.
Is it?
No, it can't because it ends.
It's the five.
Once you're under five and head up north,
like after four stops, you'll see a gas station
and there's a little thing that sits next to it.
It's well known.
You know who you got to ask?
Darren Carter.
Darren Carter lives at that place
because I've had discussions with him
about that taco place.
Lee, fucking phenomenal.
Any way you see Mexican farmers picking grapes and shit?
Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
There's a taco stand.
And those tacos are off the hook.
You know why?
Yes.
Because they're selling to authentic Mexicans.
They're not selling to fucking these Gentile Mexicans.
They don't speak Spanish and shit and all that.
They're up there with the real deal.
So they've got to show up with the real deal.
You pull over.
They're 50 cents.
You'll die.
You'll go, what the fuck?
I mean, the cat.
Joey better not find out.
You go, you know what?
If it's a cat, I'm getting done of these motherfuckers.
They're delicious.
They're delicious.
They're all where every route up there.
I don't know exactly where.
Because me and Maryland used to do the Ventura Club.
Okay.
Fifteen years ago, on Friday nights,
they would give us 100 bucks to drive to Ventura to do the gig.
But 20 of that, bro?
Taco.
We would stop at a place right off the fucking thing
that you thought you were going to get mugged in.
It was like a beat-up gas station, three miles, not even.
200 yards down was like a little hut.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
And you didn't get sick?
No.
was impeccable cleanly clean I found a spot off the five in Indiana by
comrades there you go there's a gas station and this family just they they live at
the house next to the gas station and they got a kitchen I know you're gonna say
it's a Yelp thing but we found it on Yelp but it's our new favorite Mexican
place in the valley it's in the gas station which by the way is the stoner
heaven it has literally every snack you could ever
Imagine, think of, or never thought of, every chip flavor, but this Mexican food restaurant is amazing.
It's the best.
We go there probably when we're home, we're in town, probably every Sunday.
And what do you get?
There's a carnage sada burrito, which I like.
They have a California burrito, but that has fries.
And they put bacon in that.
But you have to be careful with that one, because they put buffalo sauce on it.
So you have to say no to that.
You have to say no to that.
I don't know these talking.
I don't know these talking.
I promise you.
It's like a snack bar.
Leave me alone.
Leave me a fuck.
I'll miss you.
It's good.
Barbecue and bacon.
You say I got to deal with.
It's like fucking nightmare.
And you know what sucks about this the worst?
That his girlfriend is Mexican and she eats that shit.
No, it's good.
I promise you.
It's got bacon and fuck.
What's he talking about?
Can you please talk to him?
It's good.
I promise you.
I'm not even fucking Mexican.
And I don't.
I don't know what the fuck he's talking about buffalo sauce.
What are you talking about, for Christ's sakes?
I think it's called Cali Taco.
Yeah, you're confused, dog.
Please.
Yeah.
Please.
I know it's got cheese and that's why you like it.
No, no.
They put a ton of cheese.
It's got to be cheese or French fries.
There's got to be some fucking thing in there.
Authentic.
Please leave me alone.
Please leave me alone.
Please leave me alone.
Please, leave me alone already.
Check it out.
There's only one thing on Sherman Way.
I've seen people there from the pon.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Other fucking morons.
No, they're not.
They got barbecue fucking sauce.
It's not barbecue sauce.
Buffalo sauce.
Okay, this is what I'm saying.
And then it's in the white.
And then when he's supposed to eat buffalo sauce, he gets barbecue on his wings.
I don't get the bubble sauce on that burrito.
This is what I'm talking about, though.
By the way.
He goes to a place where they put buffalo sauce on burritos.
I'm done.
The counseling is done.
He's on his own.
He's done.
It's just amazing what I got to.
to live with.
I don't put it on all the burritos.
No, I know.
Just the thought that they put it on a burrito.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's where the party ends.
It's called salsa.
Especially when you're Mexican.
You walk and then go,
they put buffalo sauce on a burrito.
Get in the car.
And then you eat it.
You get in the fucking car.
What are you crazy?
Yeah.
No, don't buy a soda.
Get in the fucking car.
This is what I'm dealing with, Doug.
It's amazing.
I feel you.
There's not even like a two and two.
Like, it don't even hit.
I could take them to King.
Taco I could take him
I'm saying King Taco as
a general I could take them to
fucking where Gabe Gilbert lives
in Long Beach
No Gilbert Escobel lives
in Long Beach next to Delaware
I'm not going to Long Beach
I'll take you for Mexican food lead that your hair
will grow in front of you
and this guy will go to that same
dump the next day and eat
after he just ate the best in the world
he will lower
down and go to a gas station
and look me in the face and tell me it's a good place.
We're talking about professional places here, Lee.
I promise you.
People who sell food to Mexican people.
There's Mexican people there.
No, they're not.
Not if they're putting buffalo sauce on the fucking top.
They don't get that one.
I know.
We're just the thought that they have it.
It's like I said to you.
If you come to my table and you bring ranch dressing with you, I get up.
Either I get up or you got to get up.
We're not in the same world.
That's it.
Well, they put bacon and one burrito.
It's good.
Dirty years.
I've never seen.
bacon and a burrito. Never. Never in all my life. I lived in Colorado. I lived in
fucking, but never in a burrito. Yeah, they do. And buffalo sauce. Never in a burrito. Never in all my
life. And I've dealt with the prison Mexicans that they get the tacos sent in the burrito,
not once. You know, they get stoned. Maybe we put it in our beans with bacon, hell can't.
But not. Yes, but not. Yeah. So put those beans in that burrito.
Leave me alone. No, it's a different. Leave me a little. I love this though. Like, he really thinks he's like,
Hey, dog, I'm telling you, this is...
No, I promise you, it's good.
Bro, two months ago, he wanted to start a business
about magazine articles.
It was called CNN.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
I'm not saying this idea because it's a good goddamn idea.
I know.
No, no, no. This is...
You know what he was trying to rob next issue.
No.
We do that venture, whatever it's called.
He was trying to rob them and, you know,
and he sat there for hours, and I'm like,
you're college educated.
This is every day.
This is every day.
Love you, Leah.
I love him to death.
Hey, I'm going to try.
that burrito now.
No, you should try that
britt of.
You should try that britt.
I'll even walk in the fucking place.
Go to that.
Look it up on you on your way home.
Look at him.
He loves you.
Of course I love yelp.
A bunch of fucking mooks.
The only place on Sherman Way is that place
where they sell the fucking hot beans.
Yeah, and then you can't stop there and you can't park there.
There's a line out the door all the time.
You have to be prepared.
You got to go there at 1101.
Who wants to eat at 1101?
You do because you've been smoking dope since eight.
And you already worked out and you went home,
washed your pussy.
I hate eating lunch at 118.
I'm good.
before the lunch crowd.
You go to 1120
before the line comes at 12.
You don't go at 12 when everybody else is there.
You wait till 1.30 now.
Now you have a protein shake
and you wait till 1 fucking 30.
That's how normal fucking professionals eat.
Okay?
If not, I'm competing with 80 other guerrillas.
Then you wonder why they put red sauce
instead of green sauce.
I go on there when it's nice and empty.
I don't want nobody hearing what I got to say.
I'm the same way.
I don't want nobody hearing what I want to say.
I want lunch.
I go at 1120.
You ever go to Chinese restaurant 1120?
They look at you weird.
Like nobody else is here.
Yeah, I don't give a fuck.
That's why I'm here, cocked sucker.
They don't even have that.
And from now on, I'm the new sheriff in town, 1120 to 1130.
I'll be coming in here.
And I want this fucking table right here.
And they'll look at you like this motherfucker is for real.
And that's the fresh batch.
You get the nice batch.
It's the fresh fucking meat.
It hasn't been sitting there all fucking day.
That's how professionals are.
Yeah, the vegetables is a guy.
Because you get up at fucking six.
You have a nice breakfast.
You smoke 15 joints and by 11.
if you're a fucking normal, you're ready to eat your hand.
By 11.15, you're like, I got 45 more minutes to wait.
Why wait?
Even if I had a job, I talked to boss into either going early or going at 1.30.
What do you mean?
Let's say I had a job.
Lunch was 9 to 12 and 1 to 6.
I'd pay a doctor 20 bucks to write me a note that said I had to eat at 11 because if not my blood sugar goes down.
It's some shit.
You've got to be creative.
Yeah, no, you do.
Okay?
You gotta be fucking, you can't be a moron,
but you don't want to sit,
you don't want to go to lunch with these eight morons
and sit at the same table
and talk about your job all over again
for a fucking hour.
You want an hour to yourself.
So you tell them you gotta go to 11
or you gotta go out one.
If you gotta go at one,
then you bring a snack.
You bring a ham and cheese sandwich of 11
and you fucking eat it right there
at your desk.
A sandwich is not a snack?
It's a snack, whatever.
It holds you over.
It holds you over.
But the whole time you're thinking
about that lunch special.
You're like, I can't wait
to go in there and get the hot and sour soup
with the fucking number two, with the egg roll,
and the fucking noodles,
and I'm going to get the pork fried rice today
with the shrimp and lobster sauce,
and then instead of the rainbow sherbet,
today I'm getting the orange sherbet
because last time the rainbow sherbet was suspect.
Hey, Joey, have you ever been to, like, an Asian restaurant
that, like, you didn't like?
I could, because I've been so good at reading them,
it's very weird.
The only places I've been taken is right here in this neighborhood.
Oh, because everybody else says,
go in there and try it out.
And you know what?
These places probably have one or two really good dishes,
but everything else below.
I don't even trust the chicken at these places.
Yeah.
It's always got like it's always skinny,
like it feels like cats.
I pet my cats,
and I know what that skin feels like.
I really do.
I'm not trying to think you mean.
Please don't say I'm eating cat.
You've been eating cats and monsters
and monkeys for years.
That's why you're all clogged up and shit.
I'm not clogged up.
Yes, you are.
That's why the tushy don't work.
Oh,
Let's just your wrong.
You know what I'm saying?
I miss my tushy.
I haven't even seen it yet.
What's my,
what's a tushy?
It's a bidet.
Oh.
But no, no.
You eat up and down that Laurel can,
that Thai food.
You eat at the tacos with lizards.
God knows.
You poison your dad.
Paula ate bad fucking pork or shrimp.
You guys just ain't.
I'm poisoned nobody.
You take shots at places that nobody else.
I take shots at,
a reasonable places.
This is why,
because you listen to it.
100 reviews or more.
I don't take nothing unless it's him.
If he comes to me and goes, bro, me and my,
me and Samantha went to this Cuban place
and they make the thing how you like with the chorizo.
That's who I listen to you.
Yeah, I listen to you too.
And you listen to me.
Yeah.
You know, Felipe, anybody, I tell you,
what's the best bang for your buck?
I shorten it down.
I take a long sentence.
Yeah, but you don't like me.
And it shortens down.
Hey, Felipe does know some dope spots.
He knows, because he's been in the hood.
He lived here.
You listen to people like that.
That's who I listen to.
If I don't get a personal review from them,
that restaurant will not exist in my fucking life.
You remember that, like, John...
It was like a ghetto jamba juice by his house on Union and Temple.
Like that...
When he lived downtown.
Yeah.
Yes.
That was...
It was a Filipino dude.
Oh, that fucking shit was bomb.
He knows.
People know.
You got to trust people who really know food.
I need a skinny guy that he's fucking can.
that he's fucking kale to tell me what's good.
That's who's going to go on Yelp.
I want a fat fuck.
It's like when you go to a restaurant.
You see a skinny chef like he's got AIDS.
I don't want to eat that.
If he was so fucking good, he'd be eating his own food.
Every chef you see is a fat fuck sweating,
drinking beer behind the line.
That's the chef I want.
The guy that looks like he's about to have a heart attack,
that's the chef that you want.
Right there, that's a motherfucker that's eating his own food.
He believes in it.
When you go to fucking Chick-fil-A,
you don't see those people eating their own food.
I was watching those people the other morning
I heard that's good though
Is it true?
Chick-fil-A?
Yeah
Maybe 20 fucking years ago now
Okay
I went one
I went twice on sunset
And both times
I felt sick
I had to take a shit right away
No no no no
That's just shitty fucking food
Yeah there was in Houston
I got tacos
But I sat there and watched
The Chinese people at that place
What's the popular one
That has a chain
At all the places
Panned Express
Panned Express
I don't fuck with that
That rice looks a little petrified
I got up and looked at it
I fucked with their head a little bit
Their noodles look like they're on speed.
I used to get the chicken egg rolls from them.
Not bad to hold you over, but not a real egg roll.
It breaks apart in your mouth.
But when you're a fucking sap, you got to eat what you got to eat when you're 400 pounds.
I eat that shit no more.
Okay.
So this weekend?
No, didn't even touch it.
I want to eat Chinese food at that place.
Well, they won't even let us in the door.
That place by the sunset room.
I don't know about that place, Joyce.
They won't serve us.
I know, but I think it's that good.
They don't give a fuck about us.
No, they're playing cards in the back.
They're gambling in the back,
and they're probably stabbing ten Chinese people in the back
that don't pay their debt.
That's why.
Every time you go over there,
that was one of my all-time favorite rooms.
I always wished, in my perverted comedy mind,
that the sunset room would become this thing.
Like a 200-seater with that bar, with that stage.
Yeah.
I could see an HBO special getting shot.
out there.
Because it has that like lava style.
Like, you can tell.
I really believe in that place on Monday nights,
but he had no respect for comedy.
And that pissed me off.
Yeah.
Max.
It was a cash register thing for him.
And even when there was people in there
because of the comedy,
he wasn't happy.
He wasn't happy.
You know, he would give you a plate of fried
fucking food that tasted like fucking
the bartender had it in her ass.
And the Monday night,
the girl had no personality.
She wouldn't talk to you.
Remember, she was going.
good looking she had a blonde streak in the head oh yeah she was weird weird as
fuck wouldn't communicate with you could tip her a five a ten wouldn't communicate with you but i
still believed in the place but it was across the street from a kentucky fried chicken biggest
bucket in the world 30 yards from a donut place that was delicious yeah the donuts from point 30 yards
from a chinese place that would not cater to us when we went there at night they would make
believe they only spoke Chinese in the restaurant was closed but the place would be
surrounded pack cars and there would be not one person eating at the restaurant
Lee so what were they in the back gambling playing cards killing people
whatever the fuck they do on Tuesday Wednesdays and Monday nights the Chinese I don't
fucking though I don't do you ever play pool and hustle like that I played pool
I was terrible
Paul beat me all three times
My mother had a bar
And when she cut the kitchen out
They put a pool table
And that I was about the age of six
And I started fucking around
They cut the kitchen out
They're not selling food
No more food no more
I was too much
And my mom got a pool table
And I was about six
And this was not playing pool
And people taught me different things
And by the age of nine or ten dog
George I wasn't bad
Yeah
Plus you was in East Coast
But this was the
problem it was the first thing i had fallen in love with oh i got as a child so when you would break my
balls i would challenge you and when i won i would go overboard and when i lost i would lose my
fucking mind and say shit oh and then there was like what kind of shit like some fucking motherfucker
at the first time it happened i had a people maybe about 10 and at my mother's ball and i was playing an
adult that was a family friend.
And he cleaned
the table off on me.
And I started calling him a faggot.
And he didn't know how to handle it.
You're a fucking punk. Everybody thinks you're a faggot.
You're cheap. And these are things
I overheard people say about him in confidence.
And my mother smacked me in the
fucking mouth and made me go in the office
and that was the end of that tune.
I apologize. Two weeks later, but the guy
never came around again.
Yeah.
Then about a year later, and this one, still till this day, still haunts me.
In fact, his cousin just sent me a picture.
I grew up with his family.
The guy's name was Machito.
Machito.
What's that from?
He's a Cuban dude.
Okay.
He had skin like me, beautiful man, about five foot ten, built.
And he had a kid he got on the weekends.
His name was Julie.
Juliano.
Julian was his name.
And his cousin was Martin Perez, a kid I'm still friends with on Facebook.
His father was Batista's driver.
Did you guys know each other from Cuba?
We knew each other from grammar school, like early on.
We knew each other.
We were family friends.
Machito sold Coke in the 70s, and he was friends with my mom.
And he was a good dude to me.
He'd drive me to Mec games and shit.
I became friends with Machito, and he hung out at this bar on the corner of 57th in Hudson.
the guy's name was fellow, F-E-L-O, who ran it,
and as a child at the age of 11,
because he didn't have Julie all the time.
He considered me one of his boys,
so he would take me to baseball games and buy me bats,
and he would smoke dope in front of me, whatever,
and I would never repeat any of that stuff.
So I became friends of Julie.
Me and Julie were tight,
the summers I hung out together,
then he would either go back to Miami
or his mother lived in the Bronx.
I can't remember the exact story,
but I was pretty good at Pooley.
And one day we're at that bar
I had Brin dee in front of my mom, my stepdad,
all my mom's friends.
You know, not Martin Perez
wasn't there, but Julie was there in his father,
who always very good to me.
And Julie beat me in the first hand.
Smash you or?
Smash me.
And I went nuts on him.
And then I started doing Diaz brothers things
as I was playing him.
I would say shit to him and bait him.
Yeah.
And he lost the second game.
And then he lost the third game.
But I had already said all those things.
We were still friends for a while.
And then he went to Miami.
His parents moved to Miami.
And 10 years ago, as I found out, he didn't even make it to 21.
Oh, man.
Crack took him in Miami right away.
And I had a chance to apologize to him.
He was like family at my house.
He would come over and swim in the pool and we'd play baseball.
And I gave him clothes and shit.
But I don't think that that, that,
wound never really healed and i lived with that today it's damn what are you gonna do you know what i'm saying
that's why you gotta sometimes keep on pushing well sometimes you got to be careful i was a young kid
but i learned from that lesson that i couldn't fall in love with something that much that's why i can
never really be a fan of a football team or something because i'm the time we got to punch you in the
fucking head yeah i'm saying i can't commit that much i'll fuck you up if you talk shit on my team
So before that happens, I just eliminate that thing because some people take it really for real.
But you know what?
In boxing, it's a whole fucking different shit.
Like, I noticed, like, you don't even have to like sports.
Boxing is, like, backing you up.
It's like, if you're down for a fighter, you'll fight another person.
You ever been like that?
What do you mean?
Like, say Chavez was fighting someone.
Who's your favorite boxer?
I'm talking when you're 21, though.
When I was a kid, I really liked boxing.
But it was a different world.
I grew up at a time with, you know, Benitez and Duran.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I grew up.
Boom, boom, Mancini.
I was at the chiropractor doing one of those jute falls.
When I hurt my shoulder in 82, I had a, what I had to do was raise bills up so you could sue the doctor.
You could sue, like, let's say you fell down the stairs and you go to the hospital and you try to sue me, you ain't going to get dick.
Yeah.
Because you just got a hospital bill.
You gotta go to the hospital and get therapy.
That means for a year you can't go to work.
You gotta go in there every day with a neck brace on
and they look at you and go,
you're making progress.
Meanwhile, you're jerking off of both arms.
You're playing the drums.
You're playing darts at the bar.
You know what I'm saying?
So I was raised.
The Jewish attorney told me,
he goes, to get the most money,
you got to go to the doctor every day.
Yeah.
It's like punching it.
So I basically go to the doctor,
he put electrodes on me,
give me a little massage on that leave.
but the day he fought boom boom mancini
when I walked out of the office
nobody was listening to the phone
everybody was watching this fight
and he fought dukem Kim
oh that's okay oh go ahead
and he went
the thing about duke and Kim that always shocked everybody
was that on the on the mirror
there was wood around it
and he wrote something really
fascinating like killer be killed
don't come back
Yeah, he wrote something
He knew in the back of his mind
This was going to be a fight
Lee, you weren't even conceived
I was fired
You weren't even a thought in your daddy's pants
This was one
There was no real pay-per-view
This was a fight on Wild World of Sports
On 5 o'clock
On a Saturday afternoon
And it was January, it was cold
I went into this doctor's office
I remember having a jacket
And it was sitting down
And it was the 7th
round or something i have no idea but when i walked out i'd never seen two guys beat each other like
that they would just play this went on for however many rounds and then the guy dropped and died in the
ring what look it up see if it's on youtube real quick oh it has to be boom boom mancini
against dukem kim the end where was he from duke kum kim khan khan korea he was korea he was korean he was
korean korean and he wrote something on the mirror at you
it like kill or be killed this was a battle the at in the middle of the afternoon
there was fighting in the daytime like a five o'clock this is a daytime fight this is a daytime
time fun I never forget being at the doctor's office oh it was it like a open stadium
let's see let's let's see if I remember correctly what's a problem leave oh I was using
the left keyboard write down boom boom man senior watch that's the first and that'll come up
probably sure I want someone die
Why not?
When was the last time you seen somebody
fucking go down?
I don't make a habit of it.
You put some stairs on me in front of eight in the morning.
Watch me go down.
There it is.
You called it out.
First one, Duke Ku-Kim.
Who the fuck you think you're dealing with?
Some novice here?
1982, son.
Who the fuck you think you're dealing with?
What's the one doing to do I do?
I don't know what it.
The middle one's only 10 minutes.
We can't watch the whole thing.
I just want them to show two minutes, three minutes just so see,
and everybody else can learn the intensity of his fight.
I would play the bottom one because it shows that guy falling.
Play the bottom one, the fourth one.
There you go.
Yeah, but look at him.
Look at Kim's face.
Oh, man.
Oh, shit.
And he's going to die?
Yeah, he died minutes later.
Fuck.
He went down, and look at the guy's face, though.
It was fucking.
Look at this dude's face.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
That's when you get hit with a pipe and shit.
Cops.
there i don't even know what to do with you oh stand right there sir sit down sit down do you feel anything
do you feel dizzy i'm just seeing things right now it's so what do you got going on george what's

Yeah, it's not like a...
a huge venue so I kind of like

do sometimes they let me do
40 sometimes I just do 20 or
me and red men will flip he'll do 40
I'll do 20 we just have
a great time to one of these venues and think about
like 10 years ago
I was in the cell
here I am at a fucking venue
and I know people that can't get out of their own
fucking way and you got to feel bad about yourself
but it's so weird
how I get that ever that's how
fortunate I am a couple weeks
I'm at the Wilbur fucking theater with Lee.
I walk up to the stage and I got the worst anxiety I've ever gotten.
That was one of the things that went through my mind
that these people knew where I was from a point in my life
would they still come here?
You know what I'm saying?
It's still trips with me.
Even though I paid my debt and stuff.
But at the end, it's a great feeling when you're in your hotel room,
you go, I did it.
And nobody knew.
You know what I'm saying?
Unless I told them, nobody knew.
It's my secret, but I let them out to them.
And now I feel a lot better about myself in a way, you know?
Tomorrow's seven years since I've been out of prison.
See that?
Yeah, that's why today was my nephew's birthday, and I got out of prison.
I got out of prison the day after my nephew was born.
And we went to his party today.
Dude, I just realized it because you're talking about.
It's been seven years.
So there's a reason where you were supposed to be here tonight, my brother.
Say it was crazy.
Fucking years.
I've been out.
Knock on wood, man.
Let me give some shoutouts real quick.
Lee, how you feeling, Cucksucker?

So you have to shift around
Which will make me work on the book a little more
Which I'm still miles

the pain I was walking around with and that's really
tough to express when you're riding.
I want them to understand that
I know that feeling.
From the minute I saw George Perez
at school or the first time I saw you on the bus
at 840 or 7 whenever I caught the bus,
that's when the pain disappeared
until that night at 12 when the Coke would start
wearing off. Exactly. And that pain would
come back. I want people to understand that. So
that's what's taking so fucking long.
And besides Lee keeps busting my busing my
bowls. He's always doing something. He wants to go
fucking eat. Get it together. Cucks me. Places
of Buffalo sauce is what I live.
Anyway, yeah, I'm at Irvine Wednesday night.
