Starting point is 00:09:20 We just showed up. No fucking idea. No idea. That's how we do it. You got, like, you got, like, you know. Like a weird mind, man. And it all started with cooking. That's what you're trying to tell me?
Starting point is 00:09:29 I mean, I don't know if that's where it started. What was the first time you fucking fell in love with food? Like, you're like, I got to get in that fucking kitchen and cook this shit right. I've been a fat piece of fucking garbage my whole life. I don't know. I just love food from the fucking very first time I tasted a hamburger on white bread or a fucking Albanian dish that my grandmother made. What's an Albanian dish?
Starting point is 00:09:55 Like fucking burrek. You ever had burrek? No. It's like almost a stuffed pizza, but the dough is a little bit more delicate. It's like a fucking baclavado. You ever back? Yes. It's stuffed with meat, but not sweet.
Starting point is 00:10:10 You feel me? Yes. Something like that. Very peasant, but very, it takes a lot of skill to make. Is that the same thing as like a baraka in Israel? It's similar. They have similar names. It's a stuffed pastry.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Yeah. Now you're Albanian. Jewish. Everybody cooking this house. So one night you had Jew food. Nah, the thing, you had Albanian food. With the Jew food, it wasn't really like, I don't know what the fuck, like the Jew is, like, my, my fucking
Starting point is 00:10:36 grandparents came to Alice Island. We're from New York, you know? My grandfather's from fucking St. Marks in Saratoga right there in Brownsville. Motherfucking original Brownsville people, you know what I mean? My mother was born in Brownsville. So then New York Jews. She eats fucking pork.
Starting point is 00:10:52 She smokes weed. She's fucking. an incredible person. You know what I mean? And she married a very, very strict Muslim man. Albanian, you know, brought his entire family over. And it was just my mom
Starting point is 00:11:04 and my Albanian family. So I grew up that way. We didn't know, I didn't know about, like, Jew food unless I went to my, to my grandfather and shit. But it was fucking 50 people smoking cigarettes in the house,
Starting point is 00:11:18 screaming, speaking of language, I had no idea what the fuck was going on. You know what I mean? It was a crazy fucking time. Did you celebrate anything Jewish? Of course.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Every fucking holiday that you can get out of school. Now what would this Albanian fucking Muslim say at the other side of the table when you got to open the door and let Jesume in? What's the guy? What's the dude's name that comes on Passover? The fucking ass. I don't even know it's Jewish.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I don't even know shit like that. I just know that there's questions. Elijah. There's questions and shit. I don't know what kind of questions. You have to ask some dumb shit. There's Jewish women who are really good cooks, but like Jewish food kind of sucks. Don't you fucking dare talk about Jewish food.
Starting point is 00:12:05 No, because, okay, the pot roast is delicious, lotis are delicious. Is that all you know? No, there's more, but I don't like... Whitefish? Mothal. That's sable? Yeah. Salmon.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I like salmon. I don't like Monsabal soup. Are you out of your mind? You like Kreplach? I don't know. You like Kreplach soup? I don't think so. You like wantons?
Starting point is 00:12:25 Of course I was. The fucking Jewish wets. wanton. It is. It's a Jewish wanton. That's all that is. That's all it is. It's fucking stuffed with meat.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Okay. It's a skin stuffed. So the wanton, they just put in the soup. The creplach, they fucking fry the shit first, then put it in the soup. Is it one of the ones that have, what's that, what's that hot dog topping that they try to put in one of those? Sourcrow. Don't I put a shower crowd in it? Are you a fucking Jew?
Starting point is 00:12:56 What are you? I don't know. Not really. I'm a reform Jew. I mean, listen, there's just a lot of fucking amazing food. A pastri. You know what we don't like pastrami? Smoked meats that are cured.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Corn beef. Brisket? He don't like them. Pickles. You can't say pick. You can't say pickles. What do you get at a Jewish fucking deli? You get pickles right away.
Starting point is 00:13:18 He gets potato chips. That too. That too. That too. Listen. There's so much. What a. about fucking
Starting point is 00:13:25 Kashkavanovichish. You're just making up words now. Is that something really... That's a real fucking... Noodle kugul. Oh yeah, no, Kugul is good. That's true. That's fire, man.
Starting point is 00:13:36 The Koshkavonikish is stupid. Comparatively, wouldn't you say other cultures blow Jewish food out of the water? I would say... I mean, it's different. The Jews contributed a lot to culinary history.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Okay. Chala? It's bread. It's bread. It's... It's delicious, but it's bread. You say I got to deal with. So wait a second.
Starting point is 00:13:59 This guy goes on Yelp for food reviews before he's the fucking guy that writes it. Listen to me. I don't write, it's just bread. It's delicious. But bread is, you understand how unique and how hard it is to make bread good? Yes. Yes, it's the while I guess. And the Jews have perfected it in so many different ways.
Starting point is 00:14:16 But then what? Then why do they keep us with Manta? Why do they make us eat Monsa every year? Because they had to fucking get the hell about it in. They had to make something quick. It was just a snack. It's terrible. I like fucking matza with butter.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I like a lot of things, man. That's crazy. You're a fucking self-loathing Jew. That's all you are. I guess so. And you technically are Jewish because it's on your mother's side. And I hate myself because I believe in the stars. What stars?
Starting point is 00:14:43 So many of them are in the sky. The ones that connect three. Is that like Kabbal? Serious. Nah, I don't know what that is. I've never heard of that. I'm from Queens. They call it synagogue.
Starting point is 00:14:56 It's the Jews that have the red string on their wrist. I don't know that one, man. It's Madonna Jews. I don't know that fucking dude. I wish I knew how to fucking cook. I'll take care of you, man. I'll show you some shit. Easy, easy, easy shit.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Listen, you're a fat fuck. You have ideas. Like, I know how to dope shit up. Like, I can take a steak and turn it into a fun of a mignon. You know what I'm saying? But there's a certain thing. Like, I had a friend that went and was trained. and the whole fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:15:28 And he made desserts. And on Monday nights, he would make the desserts. And I would sit there with him and sample them and write jokes all night. This is when I first started doing comedy. But I would watch him do his thing, man. And I was mystified. I just didn't have the time
Starting point is 00:15:44 that put four years in a fucking kilnery institute. I'd rather work under somebody and learn how to fucking cook. But, you know, who the fuck's going to teach you? That's really how you... That's where you fucking learn everything. That's how you learn everything in the kitchen where the fucking Mexicans are touching each other's
Starting point is 00:16:00 asses and fucking crying, laughing and talking shit and fucking cursing at each other. That's where you learn how to cook. It's not in the school like that. Nah, they give you the basis, but they don't fucking teach you how to interact with Mexican dudes and people in the kitchen and fucking learn how to fucking cook hard. You know what I mean? You've cooked hard. Very hard.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Like high volume. extremely I've high volume fucking heat I've also fucking cooked on Viagra with my fucking balls were going to explode so I've cooked hard
Starting point is 00:16:37 in so many ways that's crazy whenever I've seen a chef in fucking action you know like orders coming up he's got two dudes next to him but he's the captain Kirk of the Enterprise but I've seen that
Starting point is 00:16:52 my eyes like I drew like that's the shit shit that I get impressed with. It's phenomenal. And then how he tells me how the reason why he put this sauce was on this, this texture. Like, okay, let's break
Starting point is 00:17:05 something down. It's thoughtful. It's thoughtful shit. Let's talk about something we were talking about before. Please. Our boy, he is Dominican, Puerto Rican. I'm Cuban. We had some flavor to the room. So beans got to come up. Okay, I go to a Cuban join.
Starting point is 00:17:19 And I'm telling this, I was raised in a Cuban house. Black beans are fucking freeholas. Flihole, right. I didn't think about this until about this. 10 years ago, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:31 you get fucking black beans and you put them on white rice and you spin it around and you get your favorite garlic chicken. Delicious. And you eat it, and it's phenomenal. But then they got a thing
Starting point is 00:17:43 called out Romoto. What do I add to the black beans and rice? It's like some type of fat to make it really fucking... You add that. You had a fucking little bit of Laurel, some fucking bay leaf, you know. You use the fucking black bean cooking liquid to cook the rice. That's the difference.
Starting point is 00:18:08 So they take the fucking white rice and then they mix it with the fucking black bean liquid. And that's what makes the rice black. And it has that fucking flavor. You know what I mean? What's the name of that steak sandwich place in New York, Joey? The Cuban. On the West New York side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Now I can't think about it. I can't remember the name of it. Now I'm too fucking stone. We've smoked 82 joints, eating 16 fucking stars. The fucking stars are ridiculous. We had a bunch of couple stems. I'm going to fucking drive home backwards. Oh, fuck yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:46 You have no idea. These stars are tremendous. These stars are dead. And guess what? They got one side effect. Hunger like a motherfucker. Good thing. I got a fucking big stomach.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Hunger like a motherfucker. I got a $50 million. That's why I only eat them twice a week, man. If you get hungry as fuck, there's a tremendous podcast. People coughing. People trip those mushrooms are bogusly. How are they bogus?
Starting point is 00:19:15 How do you get bogus? They were fugasies. Hey, they were fugazi mushrooms. I can get you some nice ones, man. No, no. They're right. They're nice everywhere. Did they have them over here?
Starting point is 00:19:25 This somebody gave to me at the comedy show. Was it a chocolate or was it a full fucking mushroom? It was a full mushroom. Caps, the whole fucking mushroom. fucking thing. You gave you a fucking Shataki. Yeah. It happens from time to time.
Starting point is 00:19:38 They weren't grown... They weren't grown... They weren't grown in real cow shit. They didn't taste like Portobello. They were growing like puppy shit. That's what they were growing and stuff like that. Now, how many shows do you have on Vicerland? Man, you know, I think right now I'm at four.

Starting point is 00:21:23 Like I've been gone from New York for 20 years. I can't imagine what all those areas where I used to go to cop that people tell me They pay $2,000 for a fucking box bedroom up there. So where, tell me some of your favorite places to cop. East New York? What I was growing up. Yeah. Okay, I started.
Starting point is 00:21:40 You start in, uh, there was a church in the village. This was the late 70s. And then I just stayed in Jersey and bought weed. And then the hot, hot spot from like 82 to 85. was anywhere from 178 to 125th Amsterdam, right in Manhattan. I mean, that's a fucking hotspot right now for some of the best shit. That was the fucking hotspot. I mean...
Starting point is 00:22:14 Washington Heights has some of the best weed in the world. Washington Heights was the hot spot. They got this shit, man. It's called Hayes. It's called Pude. It's a special type of fucking weed. You only get this weed in Washington Heights. I've never seen it anywhere else.
Starting point is 00:22:31 No one could tell me what weed it is No one could tell me where it came from No one could tell me why who fucking else has it Only these fucking Dominicans With curly hair They got the shit They got that fuck The curly hair fucking
Starting point is 00:22:48 Fucking screaming playing baseball I love it They got the best weed And then Webster Avenue in the Bronx That's a pretty fucking heavy duty place And Jerome Avenue in the Bronx. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:03 It came. So to counterpart each other. Now, I'm talking about 1990, to counterpart each other. Webster or one of those streets, I may be wrong, but one of them said, fuck it. If you come to our spots on Wednesday, you buy a bag, we'll give you a joint. And that got out. So fucking white kids, four in every car coming over from all five fucking.
Starting point is 00:23:30 and Rich Burrows to buy weed because that, bro, those are the hot spots to buy wheat. That's a big deal. That's a big deal. That's a big deal. The special is a big deal. The special, you know.
Starting point is 00:23:41 When I left New York, there was two types of weed. There was green weed and there was Buddha. That's it. That's it. And then some spots mixed them. And they called it the master mix. And then we would go to Staten Island. There was a spot in Staten Island.
Starting point is 00:23:57 That was all Italians, but that got too crazy. You thought you were going over to buy a machine gun. You know what I'm saying? You thought you were going to buy a machine gun. Sit over there, park over there. We'll be right old. What the fuck is this shit?
Starting point is 00:24:11 For a fucking bag of weed. Sick fuck. But then there's the flip side of that where I used to get Coke. And those were the, there was a spot in Brooklyn that I could go over and buy up to, you know, four ounces of Coke cash, 24 hours a day. from they were there from like 84 to fucking i left in 93 i went back in 93 for a year and they were
Starting point is 00:24:44 still there but the hot hot hot spot for cocaine was Washington heights and it was right when you went right over the bridge as soon as you got over the bridge you didn't have to do dick you have to do dick you just pulled to that light you made the left and then you shot down you made another left down the street, you pulled in, you went upstairs, you sat down, they had two bags, 25 and 35. They gave you a line of each, boom, and you went back in your car. If you went back over the George Washington Bridge, you should be shot hung, and they should shoot your mother in the head for being a dumb fuck for having you, because that's basic
Starting point is 00:25:26 101. You don't do that. What you do is you take that car, you hide that cocaine, and you go down Broadway a little been there used to be a Cuban spot on about 175th up from the hospital there. You park right out there and you go get a little Cuban meal. You eat the Cuban food. You get on the west side highway. You shoot down and you go across the Lincoln Tunnel and nobody says two words here and you got a fucking meal.
Starting point is 00:25:50 All right, you don't have $10 for the fucking for the Cuban meal. Stop and get a hot dog, but still take the Lincoln Tunnel. You know what I'm saying? It's one of the most underrated things is the fucking meal after the drug copy. Nobody understands that. That's the whole part of the fucking thing. It's the whole thing. It's the joy.
Starting point is 00:26:08 It's the victory. Even if you go buy a bag of heroin, let's say you're a heroin type of dude, because I had a brother that was a heroin type of dude. He'd go into those neighborhoods, but he went with the intention of eating something. That would fuel the heroin high. So he would go, skin pop,
Starting point is 00:26:24 and make sure it was good. He'd go into his favorite fucking Greek restaurant, get 22 Malacca sandwiches, and right in the bathroom. him blast off. He even fucking told me he wanted to get like write a book about, listen to this, this is in the 80s, this motherfucker
Starting point is 00:26:41 told me this. He looked me in the eye one day, high on heroin, he goes, listen, man, I got an idea for a book. I go, what is it? He goes, what if I wrote a book about all the best diners where you could shoot heroin and nobody will bother you? Legend. He had it all the way up to
Starting point is 00:26:58 Coney Island. Because that's how crazy those heroin dudes go. They go crazy. But he had a whole, he had a job. He was a, what do you call those people, a functioning heroin guy? But he would go up and down that fucking thing and tell me what places he would go eat, order a meal like a gentleman, and he'd go in a bathroom, blast off, walk out, fucking light his t-shirt on fire.
Starting point is 00:27:28 But that was it. When I left New York, Washington Heights, the last summer I was in New York, The Dominicans were running shit so heavy up there that they had thrown a fucking bucket of spackle from the fourth, from the roof of a building or the building inspector. Because he tried to bust into these Dominicans. What's the movie of Wesley Snipes?
Starting point is 00:27:52 When he takes over the building in the 80s? New Jack City. New Jack City. Like four Dominicans took over like a fucking two-bedroom apartment. Holy shit. I swear to God. And they had a lookout up on the roof. and the building inspector came
Starting point is 00:28:05 and they drew a bucket of spackle out of and that was there and that set off like a fucking wall and that was it and then I moved to Colorado and got into comedy I got a good fucking operation going on up there and a lot of lookouts a lot of whistling going on you know but I heard that New York is completely different now
Starting point is 00:28:22 like it's not the way like I mean a very similar it's still I could still get a machine going to four in the morning sure no one million percent you're kidding me you get a fucking M16 right now. You get an M6T right two blocks away from my house.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And four in the fucking morning. Four in the morning. They got fucking 25 M16s. They are whatever you want in the projects over there. That is crazy shit. They got fucking guns I've never seen before. They got fucking German guns that you fucking James Bond was using in Golden Eye. You know the little fucking Ruger,
Starting point is 00:29:00 the little fucking fancy one? Who is this? Imagine getting shot. with that? Like yo, fucking creed getting shot with a fucking vintage German gun? In the projects. At the hardest place to smoke and join this country, number one place is New York
Starting point is 00:29:15 City. I just fucking light up on the street. You don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck either anymore. What are they going to do, man? I'm just curious. I'm not sure. What are they going to fucking do? They're going to come up to you and they're going to do? What are they going to say?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Put it out? No? I'm... I don't know. I just fucking do things until someone asks me to stop nicely. And then I'll figure it out. I feel the same fucking...
Starting point is 00:29:50 I'll figure it out after that. Even in San Francisco, I spark fucking wherever the fuck. I don't give a fuck. People are adults. You know what time it is. You know what time is. This is the street.
Starting point is 00:30:01 You shouldn't be down there anyway, 10 o'clock in night. You know, there's a bad fucking neighborhood. I'm true. I can't do it no more. You know, like, I'm too old, man, to fuck around with it. I hide it from, you know, I'll smoke outside from my kid. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:30:18 I won't smoke in the fucking house. Nothing like that. We're still respectful for that, man. No, you have to. You can't fucking smoke in front of the kid. I feel like you can't do that. It's just ridiculous. But then again, they see you on TV doing it.
Starting point is 00:30:32 What the fuck is a difference? Well, eventually. I can't fucking... Eventually some days I'm going to see. I don't know when. I'll try to fucking tap out those YouTube things and shit like that. So you still dig the cooking? I love fucking cooking.
Starting point is 00:30:46 It's one of my favorite things to do. I get inspired when I go to these different countries and places. I get totally inspired to do things and fucking make things and invent things. That's just an edge I got over a lot of people and whatever we do. I really did this for many years. It's a unique thing. Thank you very much. This is my origin.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I love instant gratification. I love instinct. I love to fucking make something for somebody presented to them. And then watch the happiness on their face. You know? I don't like it when they don't like it. I like it when they like it. So I try and make it bad.
Starting point is 00:31:34 It's from the heart. Now, when you make chicken palm, that's from the fucking heart. I can tell when you were talking about it. That's totally from the fucking heart, man. I just... What makes your chicken palm fucking superb? I want to see Lee's face turned purple. The fucking care that I put into this chicken palm,
Starting point is 00:31:52 I pound it down so fucking thin in every aspect that you're going to get a crunch on every corner. That's what I like. That's the most important part. Okay. So then I make a two minutes to... A two-minute tomato sauce. Just fry up some fucking garlic. Put some dried chili in there in the oil.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Canna puree tomatoes. It's over. Salt. That's it. Let it rock. Just let it sit there. No pepper? No.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It doesn't need it at this point. No pepper at this point. Then you take the fucking Pollyo-Mutzerola cheese, which is a big deal. Polyo whole milk because it melts perfectly. No other cheese melts perfectly. I don't know any other cheese but this They sell it in string Cheese applications
Starting point is 00:32:40 They sell it in logs Bricks Whatever you want it's fucking tremendous So you cover the whole Fucking thing you can Put sauce on it real nice Cover the whole fucking thing with the cheese Even the areas where there's no chicken
Starting point is 00:32:56 You put cheese You know Just so you get a full blanket A full quilt Of cheese And then you stick that motherfucker under the salamander. So it heats from the top also.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And you get all those brown crunchy bits and the cheese is melted like fucking it's just fucking gorgeous. You lift it up and it's just elastic cheese up and down. You fucking bring it to your mouth. You have to fucking hold the cheese here
Starting point is 00:33:28 and rip it a little bit, you know? You know when you have to rip the cheese a little bit because it's too much? And you fucking wrap it around? It's phenomenal It's all about the crunch Absolutely It's all about the crunch
Starting point is 00:33:42 On those little corners, man It's just to Just to remind you that this was a fried chicken You have a restaurant now? I don't But my, you know, the world is my restaurant I cook everywhere I can

Starting point is 00:34:10 while I'm cooking. Specifically Frankie Ruiz. One of my favorites. There's nothing like listening to a good Latin beat while fucking cooking. It makes you cook better. You know what I mean? It makes me cook better. It's a rhythm. It's a rhythm. It's a fucking afro rhythm with Latin flair that you just can't get anywhere else. It's just something else, man.
Starting point is 00:34:36 They don't make salsa music like they do in Puerto Rico and in Cuban. Let's fucking talk about the Cuban fucking the Winnervis, the social club. My man, Ibrahim Ferrer, phenomenal. Phenomenal. Fucking ridiculous. R.I.P. You know what's crazy? I look at you, and it's like you have your ethnic roots, but you took advantage.
Starting point is 00:35:08 in New York City to the max, you took a little bit from every little ethnicity, you enjoy every fucking flavor, and that's the beauty of coming from that area. Straight up. You know, like, that's like, when I first moved to New York
Starting point is 00:35:24 from Cuba, I used to have a beef every day with Rudy the Haitian, right? This little black dude, Rudy the Haitian. I mean, I think about it years later. When I was in the third grade, I used to have beef with Rudy the Haitian. Who, oh, fucking Rudy of the Haitian? I mean, you know, you
Starting point is 00:35:40 and you pick up this certain flavor. You get to meet Jewish kids and you talk to them for a while. And let's pretend like you go play tennis with them. And they don't get high, but that's good. You can just go play tennis with them. Yeah. But on the weekends, you play hoops
Starting point is 00:35:56 with a bunch of Puerto Rican dudes who get high and they carry knives and shit. Some other shit. But then on Sundays, you're fucking, while you're hanging out with your girlfriend's family and they're fucking Russian. Mm-hmm. And you get this.
Starting point is 00:36:08 labor, you grew up with this certain knowledge. Like, for me, it was like Greek, Italian, you know. Greek, Italian, for sure. That's a queen's specialty right there. Yeah, you know, Greek, Italian, fucking Puerto Rican. Fucking, my uncle, my uncle was the super of the building that Christopher Walker grew up in in Astoria. His fucking parents lived in the building. You know, like, we used to walk to Steinway Street.
Starting point is 00:36:36 I had fucking Jamaica Avenue five minutes from me I had flushing Main Street where all the Asians were right near me and I had fucking Forest Hills where it was like a nice weird enclave of like fucking ethnicities and like the older Jews and young people there's a lot of weird shit going on there like a little bit of a fucking Queens nightlife I just see a lot of shit man you see
Starting point is 00:37:02 I remember fucking one of the first people that introduced me to like loving to be in the kitchen is a is a fucking man from Ecuador named Rigoberto

You start hating yourself. Fuck me. Well, you're very interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:07 You're a very interesting dude in that facet that I could tell that you took. Queens, man. Queens made me. That's what this is. Queens is the epicenter of all this shit. It's very, very, very eclectic. I think that the last time they did some sort
Starting point is 00:38:23 of study, they found out that there's more ethnicities in the borough of Queens that there is anywhere else in this world. I fucking blew my mind. That's crazy. I always thought it was Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I'm good. I always thought it was... I always thought it was fucking Brooklyn. No, man. Brooklyn became fucking... It's fucking crazy in Brooklyn now. Fuck, everyone's from Ohio or fucking... fucking...
Starting point is 00:38:59 I don't even know. The thing about you that I see, that he could... His restaurant would be so off the hook because you wouldn't know what you were really going to get that night. That's why I fucking love you, man You really

Starting point is 00:39:36 You might come in and want Two eggs with bacon that's not on the menu. No fucking chance. It's a Spanish for titata with asparagus and goat cheese and mozzarella fucking baked all over it
Starting point is 00:39:49 with a little sauce. Yeah, I fucking hate goat cheese. I mean too. Oh me, listen, I don't even like to look at. It fucking makes me fucking decide. I love a lot of things in this world, but goat cheese that shit fucking tastes like straight.
Starting point is 00:40:02 You know what you said something? You said something. I don't give a fucking people. People get fucked. People get pissed if we go there. When you said polio cheese, I almost stopped because they have it out here. Do they? I think they do.

Starting point is 00:40:28 It's fucking sitting in my freezer right now. My mother freezer. With a stick of hard Italian bread back in the old days from the Bronx or something, you go home, you get that whole stick of fucking hotel bar butter. Before they did this is when Salted or unsolting? Oh, assaulted like a motherfucker Salted.
Starting point is 00:40:45 If you're walking on ice you might as well dance. If you're gonna kill that art, kill that heart with fucking style. Oh my God, I would fucking kill. I didn't like the, I liked the hotel bar. Like I would get the bar. That's how old school that was.
Starting point is 00:40:59 You got to get the ball. And I get the Italian bread and I cut and just put fucking butter on it. From the age of maybe 10 to like 13, I did this. And one day somebody's like,
Starting point is 00:41:10 dog, you know how bad that is for you? Doesn't matter. Life is literally about bread. And I would eat the guts. But nobody would eat, I would eat those fucking guts. I would heat them up with butter and let the butter melt into the guts.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Fucking delicious. Fucking delicious. Unbelievable. That's phenomenal stuff, man. Letting butter melt into bread in any facet, any capacity, where it's at.
Starting point is 00:41:40 You let that fucking bagel sit with the butter for just a little bit. You don't eat it right away. You get every bite soaked and it's the salty soakness. It's something special. Even the most simplest
Starting point is 00:41:57 fucking meathead thing could be fucking mind-blowing, you know? Like bagel and butter. If you fucking toast that bagel right and you let that butter sit on the bagel just enough that's 52 stars 52
Starting point is 00:42:14 motherfucking stars Michelin New York Times wherever you want to fucking do 50 best restaurants in the world just give me a bagel with butter I'm a simple man It can work with a lot but what's your

Starting point is 00:42:40 in the middle, which I really enjoy. And my favorite one happens to be a sesame. When you toast that sesame, it's like you're putting pussy on my mouth. What do you put on it? Butter or cream cheese? I don't, see, they put too much cream cheese.
Starting point is 00:42:58 They fucking put... I have an issue with New York City fucking bagelries. They put weight, they put a thick fucking thing of cream cheese. Then you go to open, it's all over your face. It's all over. They don't even give you enough. It doesn't taste good.
Starting point is 00:43:11 It doesn't. You need a little, a thin layer of it. I like to go with the butter soaked in. Or I get one slice of mustard out. See, when I go to a restaurant for breakfast and they give me toast with two pieces of butter next to it, I want to hit them in the fucking head with it. You put the, it's a fucking... It's logic.
Starting point is 00:43:30 You gotta put the fucking butter on the toast and it comes to you in the middle. They don't know that. The fucking middle is all buttery? I got to get the fucking butter and open it and pound it with a knife. It's fucking. It sticks with your fingers. It's rock hard. It's rock hard. You can't fucking smear it.
Starting point is 00:43:44 You know, that shit drives me crazy. But what are you going to do? This is America today. That's what they do.

Starting point is 00:57:59 That's one of my nuances, man. Oh, my God. You know, you get the fucking kebob, and then they put the piece of Italian bread on the top of the stick, and you walk away. $2. You get two, some lemon on it. $2 a piece? I would, Lee, I would eat four, five of them, $2 a piece. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:58:15 And then the guy would maybe give me an extra piece of bread and shit. Maybe if I was a good boy, he'd give me a piece of bread. It was those, those were the things that made you cop, the adventure. You were doing by yourself, or I would take Lee with me. You know, you never just went into the city of Lee and bought a bag of reefer and ran back. You always went to somewhere to eat. There was a Carvel close to the, to the bridge. would say we would go get Cuban food
Starting point is 00:58:46 and then walk to the Carvel and on the walk to the Carvel we'd smoke a joint. Walk to the Carvel, get a black and white shake or a chocolate shake or a double comb. Now we're talking expert level shit. Double comb, vanilla sprinkles with color with colored sprinkles and whipped cream.
Starting point is 00:59:04 And then we go to a movie theater on the corner there at 181 in Broadway. There used to be like a triple feature. You turned it into an adventure copy. I could never even dream with just going into a store getting three joint and driving home. The whole thing was driving back
Starting point is 00:59:22 with the weed in the trunk going you know like bro lower or smoking the whole way. Take a chance Columbus did. Fucking let's go. That was part of the high was driving back with that half ounce under your seat
Starting point is 00:59:36 thinking about that fucking chicken parmesan you're going to make and shit that's at the house already. Your girlfriend's watching. Watching the sauce and shit. Like Paulie, what's his name? Like, what's his name? And Goofellas, he told the girl to watch the sauce.
Starting point is 00:59:50 You're just going out around the corner. That's what it was. Now, I like this concept. Like, I like this concept of, I got two places where I cop. And 10 in the morning, I know they both open. You get introduced to the world of leads. He's out of his mother right now? Yeah, yeah, he's done.
Starting point is 01:00:10 He's done. You know, I was just laughing. Because he knows. He knows I'm a professional. The weed store opens at 10. I'm there at 10.01, bothering the Hindu. Didn't know what? He said it at 955.
Starting point is 01:00:22 You think I'm fucking kidding you. I want to be the first customer the day. I don't want no misunderstanding. And these motherfuckers are all soft. They get to work late, so I fuck them all up. The one place, they're on point. The Russians, they're on point, Jack. They get that a quarter of ten of the attention.
Starting point is 01:00:37 They got those hot girls working in there. So sometimes I dip over there. That's Sunset Herbal. But yeah, I go there at 5, 10 in the morning. I don't want no fucking drama. You just drive over now and go in. There's nowhere to stop. There's no journey.
Starting point is 01:00:54 My favorite thing about living in New York City was that, you know what, pro? You know what, action, dog? I got to do some shit tomorrow at 9 in the morning. And you do too. Don't you? You're like, yeah, me too. What about I swing by the house and by a quarter of a fucking eight? we smoke a joint
Starting point is 01:01:15 and we swing by the Bronx get a slice and go to that Carvel next to and I'll have you home by fucking 915 that is my world we don't nobody we've got nowhere to go out here then we gotta go to Huntington Beach
Starting point is 01:01:32 to get a fucking milkshake or something like that takes two fucking hours there and 19 hours back by the time you get back you don't even want to get high no more you're like done I'm done that was my thing
Starting point is 01:01:43 thing when I lived on the East Coast was let's take it right over there smoke a joint on the way there, eat something, and then you got that after fucking dinner joint, which means you go home early and go to sleep, not be no-lo time. Nobody bothers you, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:01:58 Just smoke fucking... That's it. There has to be like non-stop smoking whenever we'd hang out, non-stop smoking with the boys. Talking about the thrill of the cop we cop
Starting point is 01:02:14 From as many different people as possible You know what I mean The good stuff Sometimes we go smoke in the hall house You know what I mean While the girls are working Sometimes you know Things would happen
Starting point is 01:02:31 In the hall house I know Lee wants to ask you But I'm gonna ask you Where's the whore house at? Fuck there's so many hall houses There used to be the $30 hollas still I don't know anymore but they used to be $30 hollas $40 hollas like crazy shit all over the place
Starting point is 01:02:53 $40 dollar holler $40 around the world She'll take it up the fucking fucking Whatever you want $40 but she she'll stop you like real like It was a wild thing It was a wild scene How much did you tip? I don't know man It was the you know like I just hung out and smoked
Starting point is 01:03:14 Jesus Christ You don't want to fuck one of those girls Niasseley You'll be at the doctor every day For a year knowing you What about the $30 one? You'll have fucking corn pudding All over your fucking fucking bullsack
Starting point is 01:03:26 Oh my man Wait Look at him He's dying Did you go to the $30 one When it's like You engross? I went to the $26 one also
Starting point is 01:03:39 That was the discounted one Oh Doug when I was growing up There was a 1040 club It was $10. It was $9.99 for tax. 10.40.
Starting point is 01:03:50 And they still have it, supposedly. It's not $10.40 anymore. They just kept the fucking name and shit. 26. Bro, when I was a kid, when I was 13, there was these two fucking brothers that went into the city. Every weekend and got their dick suck like $12. $12.
Starting point is 01:04:09 And these two dudes, these two dudes were young. They had to have change all the time, because no one has the ones. They all had five. This guy, it was 19. It had to be like 1976.
Starting point is 01:04:25 And these dudes were young. If I was 13, the one brother was 13 and the other guy was like 12, but he didn't have it all together. He would do whatever the brother would tell him and shit.
Starting point is 01:04:39 And every Monday at school, they would have a story of where they'd go. They would leave on Saturday mornings by themselves. To get hookers? To go into the Bronx or Queens or they would go to these spots
Starting point is 01:04:54 and for $10, the chicks would take them in the back and wash their dick with a bucket and suck their dick and lick their balls. They would come back with a thousand stories. The thing is that, you know, I would definitely pay to get my dick washed with the bucket. Like that's, fuck, that seems like a nice
Starting point is 01:05:12 amenity. Yeah, but it's a dirty bucket. No, not. We don't want to Scuzz bucket. What I was going to say is that one of my favorite things in life is the nuance of how someone explains when someone is a little fucking mental. You said he doesn't have it all together. You know, there's just a lot of ways that you can say it that's very comical.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Doug, he what? Listen, if you want me to say the truth, he was half retarded, but I don't want to say that on the air. No, but that's what I mean. So, yeah, he didn't have it all together. They were Cubans. They just love it. They were Cubans.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Their name was Juan and Alberto Ali. Juan was the brand of the operation. Alberto was very like shy, like Rocky's wife type shy. Like, yeah, boss, whenever you're saying, like that type shy, like that. And they would come back on Mondays and just drop knowledge on us. And our fucking jaws would drop. We were barely getting tithes. These guys were going deep in the jungle of sex, getting their doth.
Starting point is 01:06:14 getting their dick sucked and washed and they were telling us that they're the first person who told him about around the world when he was 13 he goes for $15 to giving around the world and I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? Can you explain something? Go ahead, Doug.
Starting point is 01:06:31 I used to have sex with my girlfriend laying on our sides for some reason. It was fucking terrible. When I was in fucking early in high school, we used to lay on our sides for some reason so I didn't wake anyone up. It was terrible sex. Oh no, that's how you do when you're young.
Starting point is 01:06:50 I know, but then you fucking, no one's home, you start going nuts, but the laying on the side sex was wild. But you figure it out. It's like giving somebody a stabbing at the beach. Yeah, no, you have to, after a while, you figure it out. We're going to say, Lee.
Starting point is 01:07:04 I'm sorry. I was just confused about the dick washing. Are you saying like there's no hand job or anything? They just wash your dick? They wash your dick erotically. they take it to a bucket or they get hot water with a sponge and put soap on it
Starting point is 01:07:19 and they stretch it out for you and they wash your balls and shit and then they dry it off you and then they put a condom on it and they fucking suck your horn okay it might be a fucking used condom you never know
Starting point is 01:07:36 they might be saving money you don't know they got them hanging upside down in the back and shit like fucking photos I think it's a fucking black In the dark room I hope they don't reuse condom
Starting point is 01:07:55 They're so cheap You got to one of those fucking condom You got a wretched You got You got And she thinks If she looks at you, she goes, I think this one will fit.

Starting point is 01:08:48 Yeah. Joey says all Chinese. We have another one of these fucking things. Dumplings. I think it's pretty safe to get dumpers in a certain place. I had some fucking tremendous ones today. I had a wonton soup. I had a wonton soup like I had never had a wonton soup before.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Where? At this place that he took me to. What's the name of it? We'll tell you after. Okay. I don't even remember, actually. Because every time I go to Korea town, I get dumplings. He says, look for the strike hats.
Starting point is 01:09:20 There's no strike hats. Because, because, listen to me, listen to me, listen, this is the, let me tell you. So I'm actually, you ever meet a dude on your block that, you know, like, I was telling these people the other day, San Francisco, these poor kids, they got labels.

Starting point is 01:25:47 Why do you have to break the back? Because they might pop up. Oh, because of the fucking muscle. The rig and mortars. Like in the old school, if you talk to your grandparents, like if you're Dominican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, in those days when you died, they take it to a funeral, no, they put you in a suit
Starting point is 01:26:05 and they put you in the living room for a few days until you started. it's stinking. And people would just come over and start drinking. But from time to time, my hand would pop up. And then when it was time to bury him, dog, three fucking gorillas
Starting point is 01:26:21 couldn't pull the hand down. So they would have to break the fucking arm or saw it in front of it. You saw the fucking thing. In front of the family, there's thousands of thousands. After doing this once, they didn't try to think about it. They were like, how does
Starting point is 01:26:38 everyone else do this? No, they just because you don't know when your head's going to pop up. You don't know. Listen, all I know is that one time, somebody was dead for a few hours. And when the people came to pick up the body, I was there when they picked that person up and put them on the stretcher.
Starting point is 01:27:03 And the last fart came out of their ass as they were getting picked up. Heavy fucking duty. What's that? It's just not. like sewage, like they had died. Like this was it. They were dead. You know what I'm saying? Like, went on, and it wasn't like funny.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Nobody, it was outside. Nobody laughed. We were just there and the person dropped, bro. And all of a sudden we, they tried to resuscitate the person and the person was dead when they picked them up. I was about 19. When they picked them up, you could hear the body
Starting point is 01:27:33 do that last, you know. And it's just, that has to go somewhere. So they got to drain all that. they gotta do a thousand things but pro what they would that do would do like three or four of those bodies a night and about a hundred a body
Starting point is 01:27:50 and it takes like 40 minutes you just go like I said break their spine drain their blood they do a couple other things they stits the eyeballs you know whatever that's why they used to say don't ever mark that on your fucking license
Starting point is 01:28:04 that you want to donate your shit because they won't even let you fucking die They'll cut you up before you're dead. They just didn't know the episode about that with the dude from, What a feeling? Not true of that. What's the name of that movie?
Starting point is 01:28:21 What a feeling? 1984. About the dancing girl. He plays the doctor. Flash dance. He plays the doctor that fucking cut up a woman before she died because he got an internship at a hospital
Starting point is 01:28:37 to make a million dollars a year why they had a show up with a human heart. It's fucking dirty world out there, Lee, Syatt. You know what I'm saying? How you feeling, Lee? See? I couldn't anymore. They don't do that.
Starting point is 01:28:51 Yes, they do. You better take your name off that dog. I don't know. I don't know my name on that list. You never know. One of those fucking people might use it. How are you feeling, my brother? I feel fucking amazing.
Starting point is 01:29:00 I look at you, dog, and I know the guy like you could never live outside of New York City. Yes, come on. Not even in a million fucking years. You fucking know me like the back of my fucking hand there. It's ridiculous. I feel your vibe. Your full 150% It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:29:22 And I'm not even talking about the answer. I have to live five minutes from Queens if I don't live in Queens. I have to live right there on that border or else I'm not happy. You know? I still have to drive through the same neighborhood every day. I still have to take the same route I still have to take the same route every day you know
Starting point is 01:29:42 I feel like I'm just a fucking I'm a product of where I am I don't know I'm like that I'm the fucking things that grow from the fucking ground why are you fucking laughing over there I hope it's because you're looking at a picture
Starting point is 01:30:00 and they're laughing at my fucking metaphors no I'm not listening to me I'm always you're actually not even listening to me or are good fun In the 70s, there was a disco song. There was an old disco song that it used to be, and it was like kind of weird song.
Starting point is 01:30:15 But if you listen to the lyrics, you made a lot of sense. And it was called You're a Native New Yorker. And I remember listening to that. It was just on the idea. I was serious studio 54, so I was listening to it a couple of weeks ago, came on. And it was like me. Like, I could, you know, when I came from Cuba,
Starting point is 01:30:35 that's why I went to school, PS-166. And the whole time, even though my mom had the bar in Union City, New Jersey, my Santa Maria Godmother was on 148th in Broadway. So on my weekends, I spent it up there with fucking kids who live nine to an apartment with a fucking fan. Meanwhile, I was living with my own air conditioner with cable fucking TV, feeling like a fucking savage. But I always kept that New York flavor to me. You know, I left in 84 before the fucking shit really broke out.
Starting point is 01:31:10 But as I was leaving, even one of my favorite weed spots was on 148 between Broadway and Amsterdam. Do you know that in 1983, they already had a punch card, brother? Well, like, get by 12 and get one. By 10, get one free. They used to call their weed the master mix. they mixed the Buddha with the sense and that was their master mix and I'll never forget one day
Starting point is 01:31:39 I went there in June of 85 and I tried to get weed and people like, they ain't no weed you no more it's just straight up crack on this block I was like wow the neighborhood chains that quick that's why you shocked me when you said that you could still get drugs in the city
Starting point is 01:31:56 I've heard fucking people say nah I mean come on you're fucking kidding me but it's still in New York City I don't know who did, I mean, I mean, I don't, like I said, I don't know, but you know what I mean. Come on. You got to be serious. It's fucking New York City, man. It's comical. So what's next for you, my brother? Who fucking knows, man? You're a man of a thousand ideas.
Starting point is 01:32:24 I just, I just keep on. It's non-stopping your head. Then you fucking had this fucking voodoo weed to it. I'm just going to really make your head go off. And add some natural wine to that. I'm really spinning. I'm just fucking spinning all over the place. I just need somebody that's taking notes from things, man. But like you said about the New York City thing,
Starting point is 01:32:47 I feel like that's just, that's what gives me my edge, I feel. Whatever edge I do have. Just that savviness, you know? Just being around all that shit and just being in fucking streets. You have to walk, block. and there's different things around all over the place, different people, different types of schemes going on and different types of players, you know?
Starting point is 01:33:11 It's just so fucking... It's different than growing up in fucking a suburb with lots of houses that are nice and you hear the birds chirping and the dogs running and everyone's just happy. I live in hell right now because in many ways I want my daughter to experience. the same streets I grew up in you know to see what it was like it was just
Starting point is 01:33:38 different times then we live in different in a different fucking world today you know and that's that's something that I always wanted for how to fucking live in New York City for a year or two check it out explore you know the sky's the limit man that's what it is it gives you the idea that the sky's the limit you look at everything in New York and it's like fuck man I could be there too it gives you that boost that sky's the limit and that's how I feel

Starting point is 01:37:06 It had wontons. It had the slice of beef in it. It had the veggies in it. Yeah, but the problem is, like here, if you go for wanton soup, it's basically four wantons in a chicken Chinese broth that could have came out of a fucking can. When you go to New York, those spots, those oldest spots, it always felt like the broths.
Starting point is 01:37:36 But was made for that soup. Right. Anybody here catch what I'm saying to you? Sorry, say that one more fucking time. Everything felt like it fucking belonged. Oh, yeah. When you get a soup and it's all melds together and it's just harmony, there's really nothing like it. The fucking good, there's, you know, everyone thinks that the, you know, Jew make a good soup or the Spanish make a good soup.
