You know, we don't even care. It doesn't really matter. Listen, man, we were talking about last night, like Paul Mooney sucked Richard Pryor's dick. It's in one of the books or something like that. Does that make me hate Paul Mooney? No, he's one of my mentors. What am I doing? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:20 Like, we choose to pick and decide what's right and what's wrong in our world. Yeah, some people like to go darker. They were just like, fuck it. You know, I always make the point about the Sopranos. One of the most interesting thing about the Sopranos is that whenever you wants the Sopranos, your wife watched it with you or your girlfriend. It was that good of a show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:42 But you cheated on his wife once every two episodes. What an episode? Yeah, and America watched it. They understood it. They took him for what he was. This shit's been going on for fucking years. But you know what? If you fell into something 20 years ago,
Starting point is 00:08:59 before you open your mouth, contact that person. Yeah. And say, hey, man, 20 years ago, you said something or did something? So I just didn't dig. And, you know, you changed me and you go, listen, I'm sorry, you know, what can I do to apologize or something like that? If you want to go to the press, go to the press. I went to prison for kidnapping.
Starting point is 00:09:19 You don't see him cry. I put him in the trunk of a fucking car. You don't see him fucking... Don't give him any ideas. No, he's a great guy. He's coming on the show like in November. He's coming out for fucking three weeks or something. We talked, man.
Starting point is 00:09:30 You got your kidnap victim coming? Bro, I talk to that, dude. I have to. Yeah. For my own peace of mind, I'm one of those dudes. I just told the story about giving Bobby Lenton the money I owed him and sent him. I just sent him a check Monday in the mail. What did you do to Bobby?
Starting point is 00:09:44 I borrowed $400 didn't pay him back 20 fucking years ago for a cold debt. You know, it was like a Coke debt that went wrong. I'm one of those guys, bro, that, you know, I fucked up. Yeah. I fucked up. I've got it before, too. I fucked up. Now, if it was a, let me explain some to you.
Starting point is 00:10:01 I owe 1,000 people $20,000 for Coke. They're not going to see a red dime. You know what I'm saying? Those people don't see a red dime. They played a game. They knew what they were getting themselves in. Straight up. That's the day.
Starting point is 00:10:13 You think people that hold me money? People owe me money. I forgot it because I knew. I knew the game I was in. You got to. caught with your goddamn yeah that's what life is about sometimes you win sometimes you lose at the end as long as you break even you're happy you know i seen someone that owe me money man and he i remember it was a qp remember stress weed a quarter pound was 125 bucks no yeah well stress weed is
Starting point is 00:10:37 that ugly weed that medsco brought over in the tires and shit and i used to sell that shit and i fronted it to some guy that was from my neighborhood and then he ends up getting caught with it but i found out he did and it was just a story and shit his family moved him back to his old city and I was just like you have any idea like if I sat here with you and we just sat here I can probably do a
Starting point is 00:10:59 20 hour podcast of all the people I beat for cocaine oh man like beat up or like mentally I know what you mean like hey homie I got you beat like I'll be back in an hour like what do you mean you're not going to front of the eight boy I know you're 10 years yeah I'll be back here 8 in the morning. I just got to cast this check.
Starting point is 00:11:19 It's at my grandmother's house. I don't even have a fucking grandmother. You know what I'm saying? You catch people at their weakest. And it's an addiction thing. It's not, does not mean you're a bad person? It's a drug thing. How many people fucking, how many kids,
Starting point is 00:11:33 how many, you know, you get horrible stories about crack. In the 80s, when crack first hit, people were selling their kids. It was fucking crazy. When crack hit, bro, I remember going to a neighborhood that was a weed neighborhood and going back at 84, 85, and
Starting point is 00:11:52 crack can't, and seeing vials and not knowing I was so, like, I knew what Coke was, I grew up around fucking coke. But seeing those little vials and going, wild vials on every street corner and puddles in New York and going, bro, what can I get weed? And they were like, there's no weed on who block?
Starting point is 00:12:09 Ain't nobody sleeping over here. And then, by 88, 89, you were just hearing some horrific stories about cocaine. And I lived it. I was up 60 grand, and next thing, I was down 150,000. And my phone didn't stop ringing, Jack.
Starting point is 00:12:27 My debts were... Jesus Christ, and I left Aspen, my debts were... Insane. So, you know, my friend asked me, who was the last time you weren't asked me? I go, right after I got separated. I took my car in 91, October, 91, maybe November of 91. I got in the car. And I said, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Let me go up to Aspen and just get my head together. I was living in Boulder. I had a little accurate in Tegra. So you were living in Colorado Boulder at the time? I was living in Boulder. And I had left pretty much, I left Asper in the middle of the night, George. Damn. Like the thief in the night.
Starting point is 00:13:03 The cops watching me, I owed, when I tell you, I owed everybody. I was doing that scam where, you know, but I made you a lot of money, too. See, that's what people understand. At the end of the week, they all made money. Straight up. What I was doing was, I was getting an ounce for 800. But in Colorado, in those days, the ounces were $1,800. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:13:28 So that's $1,000 to play with right there. Think about it. And cut. Oh, yeah. And cut. All I had to do was take a plane and pick it up and bring it back. And I was getting like, the guy wouldn't even really wait. He'd give me 11 ounces, 12 ounces, for $9,500.
Starting point is 00:13:44 And I'd bring them guns. And I'd take the Coke and whack. with two ounces and bro by the time I got off the plane if I had 14 ounces nine of them were already sold so if I told you give me 1,500 I'm gonna give you back to 2250 at a 9 o'clock by 9 o'clock you had your ship but guess what I knew you were a fiend so I gave you the 2200 and then you give me back seven for a fucking cut eight you know what I mean exactly I knew the game so I get you in the So I kept doing this to people and I was making money George and George I can't imagine I was making money to the point where I was like I was getting I was snorting 12 grams a night of the good shit and still counting cash in the morning going Jesus Christ because if I took that Coke and cut it into grams and sold it yeah it would have been ridiculous it was ridiculous I would put bro my coke with what I was doing to it was way better than anybody else I had and I'd like
Starting point is 00:14:47 left a rock in that. Got you. You gave me 50, I always left 2.5 rock. The rest was shake, that was flake, and the cut was sprinkled in there, and you didn't know the difference, because once you crack that rock, it would overpower.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I still kept it. So I would throw nine on 28. Nine on 28 is what? That's nothing. That's fucking, and now you get $3,700 for an $800 investment. Yeah. Bro, I could sell 37 grams
Starting point is 00:15:16 and two fucking, hours and asked for them in those days and I had two dudes working for me car was everybody into it over there like was it the thing it was the 1984 was the cocaine capital the united states of america yeah you know it's funny I'm gonna end this I'm gonna end this podcast with smugglers blues and I was telling my wife because I heard it today and I was telling my wife that I remember when he mentioned tell you ride I was living in basalt colorado but every weekend the guys I lived with took a ride somewhere. Like to go pick up or to...
Starting point is 00:15:51 No, no, no, no. They were construction. One was a garbage man. Oh, I got you. We all grew up together. They were just three or four years older than I was. And I lived in the basement. I paid rent.
Starting point is 00:16:03 And every Friday, when they got home from work, we would pick up coolers and we would go somewhere. So one week and we went to Boulder. One weekend we went to Rifle. And one week and went to Telly Ride. Bro, teleride at that time was this big. as fucking basalt. The salt at that time was one street.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Oh, yeah? That's it. It was one street, and Goldie Hawn lived there. Oh, shit. And fucking her husband, the dude from escape from whatever lived there. It was just a small little fucking town.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Go to Basalt now. I don't even know. I can't imagine. I heard Carbondale is huge. You know, this is the shit I hear from people. But once he mentioned that song, at that time, Telly where I was a sleepy town.
Starting point is 00:16:45 And the rumor was that, They were getting the Coke in Miami, and how they would drop it off. Miami was in the mountains. So they would take a plane from Miami and drop it off in Colorado, because Colorado was right in the middle of everything. Yeah. You got Minneapolis, you got fucking Seattle, you got Las Vegas. So they were dropping it off in bundles on top of mountains,
Starting point is 00:17:06 and then they were storing it. And the rumor was, telly ride was the hot spot for it. Bro, I went to telly ride when it was nothing. I went back six years later, dog. fucking huge. And everybody was snort and coke just from that song. Fuck yeah. It was there.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Just from him saying they hide it up in Telly Ride. Wow. How was it? So were like, were there like just weed dealers in these small, sleepy towns in the 60s and 70s? And then weed, I mean, Coke and crack comes in and they just, they start hearing about it. So they start finding, they find some way to get it? Like, how does it, like, get it all over the country? You look at these shows, Narcos.
Starting point is 00:17:45 and you hear the numbers of what they were sending in per day. Fucking ridiculous. They were sending it in by the tons, Lee. I know. Yeah. 2,000 ton. No container. A town is 2,000 pounds.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Yeah, 2,000 pounds. That's a thousand kilos, so give or take, whatever, because it's a kilo is 32.2, which is something like that. Just over 2 pounds, yeah. Right, so 2.2 pounds. That's what a kilo is. So break it up. and you were selling that
Starting point is 00:18:16 and that was moving you know when I was growing up I lived in this area and it runs from 7th Street to 88th Street just in the 88th Street area I remember six dealers that were doing great
Starting point is 00:18:33 yeah I know a couple still and nobody competed with nobody everybody was making money did everybody have like their own block and shit no no no everybody had their own phone number oh okay and you called them and they made You went to school with them, whatever. You know, you had gone to high school with them.
Starting point is 00:18:48 And it was crazy. How quick it took over. How quick people became. Because once Scarface came out, it just fucked the game up, Jack. Everybody wanted it. Oh, my God. It's like when Colors came out. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:01 We're going to do that now. Remember when Colors came out, the fucking cops went to the movie theater. Yeah? The first weekend. I never forget, I was out on bail. Look at the date of Colors release. Yeah. It had to be before August of 88.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I think it was. I was out on bail, and I went to see that movie, and the arresting officer in the case was playing security at the movie theater. No way. And when he saw me at the movie theater, he made like a face, and he was a tough guy. I'm like, fuck you punk. I got this case beat, bitch.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah, but that movie, Pac-Man. April 29th. Of 88, yeah. I was out on bail, ready to get sentenced for kidnapping. Oh, wow. Ready to plea. And the guy, the arresting officer was working the detail at the movie theater. I went to...
Starting point is 00:19:51 What did you think of the movie? Colors? Yeah. I liked it. You know, we had them on the podcast. Willie Barsson had him on the podcast. Oh, yeah? The cop that that was...
Starting point is 00:19:59 Craig Hodges or the... The cop that that was based off. Oh, the real one. Yeah, the cop that, what's his name, wrote around with, to do the film... The older guy or the young guy? The Sean Penn Carrier. Okay, Sean Penn, yeah. Sean Pence, Carrie.
Starting point is 00:20:13 We had him on Felicia's podcast six years ago because he was friends with a dude Felicia was dating. Okay. He was really interesting. You know, what he was saying, what was going on in Ram. He was a, oh, fuck, yeah. I remember when Fly used to live over there? I lived off a rampart in Temple.
Starting point is 00:20:33 And we used to kick it over there, and it was fucking, it was scary. Dog, for me to say it was scary, it was scary. Like, everybody was shady. When the cops are shady, it makes the whole hood shady. Because you got to battle the cops now, and then all these other shady motherfucking enemies you got. I have never ever, like L.A. being itself, scared the fuck out of me. Like, when I came here in 84, I was 21 years old.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Wow. Washington and Vermont. My uncle still has a bar there on that corner. What is that? Like downtown L.A.? That's right before downtown, right before you on the way of the courthouse. Oh, shit. In 84, that was a fucking year.
Starting point is 00:21:12 zoo. And I'm a, you know, the biggest deception that you have, especially growing up in New Jersey of California, is everybody's a beach. Everybody's got a bikini on. Everybody's surfing. Then you go to fuck. And then you're on Burbank Boulevard and drive it on the other side of Lancashire. It's still 1964. Bob Hope is walking those streets. If you get on Burbank, you know, like if you get on Burbank Boulevard by Lancashim and you cross
Starting point is 00:21:40 Burbank, Bruce Lee walked those streets. In those days? That's all martial arts fucking on the corner that either they closed it or they're about to close it.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Gene Lubel is partners with that martial art supply store. It's the oldest martial arts supply store in California, supposedly. That one on the corner right there. We could walk from here. All we got to do is walk to Lancash and walk up across a block and have there's a Kempo school
Starting point is 00:22:10 next to it. It's a Mexican Campo school. The guys are great, but they teach in Spanish because everybody in that school is basically Spanish. Oh, okay. They're like, fuck. They're going to knock that all down, but if you walk up that block, you're like,
Starting point is 00:22:26 bro, this is 1940 here. Like, when I came out here and I saw Washington and Vermont, I'm like, what the fuck, California is this shit? Whereas the palm tree, when you get off the plane in Miami, there's fucking palm trees everywhere. on the fucking bike. When I was a kid, I used to land that night.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And just the drive, the smell, the sea air, the ocean, you're like, Jesus, I'm in the fucking ocean here. Where's Aquaman? You know, when you get to L.A., you land in L.A.x, and you get off and you make those turns, and you're like, what the fuck have I done? The first mile is beautiful. They got palm trees outside of L.A.X. But once you get to National and fucking Century, that shit, that McDonald's, on the corner there, that becomes real. They got, you know what's crazy, though?
Starting point is 00:23:15 The craziest strip clubs are right by the airport. That's when you're going to get your dick sucked. Everybody wants that last transportation. You know, I'm almost home. Bro, right there. I was sitting there one day on an Uber or a cab or and I'm at a light, and I'm like, bro, look at this down here by the airport. They got thousands of fucking things and strip clubs.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Yeah, it's the layover. I imagine the layover. Yeah, if you're playing. gets canceled, you know what, fuck it? Take me over there to the fucking biddy titty and shit. Yeah, man, strip club DJ lately has been fucking crazy, Joey.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Like, right now, all these clubs, dude, Trump has affected strippers. Like, all the strippers now, they got to pay taxes or become private contractor, independent contractors. So now they're independent contractors. It's like, no,
Starting point is 00:24:07 we don't work for them. We just borrow this facility. You know what I mean by that? No. Okay, so like, if you're a girl, you can come in and be like, all right, what's your contract? I have to pay this much if I make that much. And I have to work at this time. The later I show up to work, the more percentage I got to give.
Starting point is 00:24:26 So they're like, all, fuck it. I'll show up at 11 o'clock or 6.30. I'll pay 25% and whatever they make. So now it's their own company. They're their own company now. so they can report whatever they want to report because we're just renting out the facility to them all we do is charge 25% for you to come and work here
Starting point is 00:24:49 it's like Uber yeah so how does that affect you be the part-time it's kind of like uh I mean it doesn't it's actually better for me because other clubs would be like hey 50% off the fucking top really I don't give a fuck for you no for the club
Starting point is 00:25:07 So say a girl makes a thousand bucks If you make a thousand bucks where I work 20% You gotta pay 200 If you work at another club You gotta give up 4 to 50 So with me We take out less
Starting point is 00:25:23 But they don't have to stay Or do anything And Like these other girls They have you on schedule It's like look You work here five days a week The girls now
Starting point is 00:25:37 They can just be like You know what fuck it I'm only working two, three days a week. I'm a private contractor. I show up when I want to show up. I'm paying you to use your facility. You know what I mean by that? So, yeah, man, like it's been off and on.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And when you DJ at a strip club, it's kind of like coaching. Like you and this girl, you get close together. You work with each other. Now I'm working with chicks that want to run their own scam that they run at other clubs and shit. That whole like, hey, it's a two for one. I forgot to tell you. Like, what the fuck? What do you mean you forgot to tell me?
Starting point is 00:26:11 You could have charged that guy double. You know what I mean? So it's affecting the pocket, but it's cool. It's the strip club industry still as popular as it was. I mean, some places. It's always going to be horny motherfuckers. Yeah. I mean, there's always fucking crazy people.

Starting point is 00:29:21 Every time I went down there, I was broke as dick. But I know you came with the sack because I know you're willing and dealing. No, no, no, no, no. Listen to me. In those days, at my addiction at that point was everything I had, I kept from myself. All right. I only want to see your tenure for me is I going to give you a line. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:44 My addiction was out of fucking control, and I was broke ass. And Rudy would call me, and he'd give me the small 40, and they fed you. Oh, fuck. They fed you like a nice fucking meal. It was like an Irish pub. It had a little stage. Oh, I remember it now. All right, so.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Was it Casey's? Something like that. It was a, what, 40 bucks on the wind? Tuesday, Tuesday night, night off. It was an early show. It had to be done by 9.30. So, because, you know, he has to go to bed.
Starting point is 00:30:20 So he had to go to bed. Something happened. So I just started dating Terry. Oh, wow. We're dating about seven months. And Terry ain't stupid. She notices that when I got gigs, I come home and bust it.
Starting point is 00:30:33 So she's like, where's the fucking money at? So this one night, she goes, you know what? I'm going to take a ride down there with you. Oh, wow. So she takes a ride down there with me. She drove or you drove? She drove.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I had a bicycle. I had a fucking bicycle with a missing tire. What am I a fucking, you know? And I get down there with her, and there's 14 people in the audience. Excuse me. The next thing you know, something happens. Something happens. Some drunk dude is really digging me.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I'm working dirty. I'm working dirty. And we don't like when you work dirty. No way. And I'm fucking just going crazy on stage. This had to be guys 2,000. This is 17 years ago. Oh, far.
Starting point is 00:31:24 What I'm telling you guys, I didn't have a potter piss in the window to throw. I was minus 10,000. I was in deep debt. And I get there. And I'm picking up the small 40 from Rudy. But this dude says, don't get off the stage. and he takes his wallet and he throws it up at me. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And I grab it out of the air and there's a bathroom right next to the stage, right? So I do my material. And the guy's drunk with his friend and a bunch of people. And I fucking go walk. I get off the stage and say, thank you very much. And they go crazy. But right there, I go, hold on, I got to pee. I'm going to pee and I open up the wallet.
Starting point is 00:32:03 And the guy's got like fucking nothing but yardsticks in the head. Drain that bitch. And I took like fucking two or three of them. I put him in my pocket. And then he met me and gave me a hug. And I gave him back his wallet. I made a believe, like, it was in my back pocket where he wasn't on stage. I go, oh, shit, that's right.
Starting point is 00:32:18 I gave it to him. And I kept saying, don't open that fucking wallet. Don't open that wallet. And I looked at my wife, we got to get out of here. And we got in the fucking car. We got out of there. Nobody ever said nothing. Rudy never said nothing.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Nobody ever said nothing. Did she trip? Because you came home with a lot of money? Probably knows nothing. you know in 2000 2001 let me be honest with you you know when before you come to LA people always say to you you're gonna have to get a job as a waiter you're not gonna make any money let me tell you some guys I got a job here in LA and for the first six months but I think I was rocking and rolling if I would have been a
Starting point is 00:33:04 normal person like no addictions just paid rent car paying me and insurance. I could have lived here for six months. I'm not lying to anybody. No? As a comic, as a stand-up comic
Starting point is 00:33:16 because there was a ton of commercials. The first commercial I booked, I blew so much money, bro. I made so much money on it in seven or eight months. And then I blew it. You didn't invest it? You didn't hold it?
Starting point is 00:33:27 You didn't save it? Invested. I invested in Colombia. That's what I invested in. I invested in Pablo, Inc. Every dollar of that fucking... It was the first Taco Bell with the door.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I was getting checks. I didn't even have a bank account. I lived at Whitley in Hollywood Boulevard, the check cash in place. I know all the people in there. They would just cash my checks all hours of the night. Wow. But the other side of that coin is that people always will tell you
Starting point is 00:33:57 you're not going to be able to make a limit. Let me tell you something, guys. When I got here, I did comedy seven nights a week, and I'm going to tell you something else. a minimum of $25. And okay, you're looking at me going, Joey, that's no money. But you said there was no money.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Because after three or four months, like I got here January of 97, but by December of 97, I had an apartment. I was making a living off, $15 checks in the comedy store, the improv gave you $750, the laugh factory gave you $25 on Latino night,
Starting point is 00:34:36 and everything else was from Jeff Garcia, Willie Barsana, Felipe Sparza, the kid who became a born-again Christian, had rooms. I mean, the kid who still books rooms, great kid, I forget what his name, is Sebastian Satina.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Everybody had three rooms. I used to hook you up, too. Yeah, you had, but this was when, let me tell you something, they're begging for comedy up in Northern California, right? Oh, yeah. In between Los Angeles and, like, San Jose,
Starting point is 00:35:08 they're going crazy. You know why? Because 20 years ago, we were up there every other fucking month. And some reason, every promoter stopped promoting up there. Rogan just had like a third show in Fresno. No way.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Yeah, like that, the dog, it's crazy. There's nothing to do. There's nothing to do. Fresno, Bakersfield, Baker's Field, that's one of my best shows every year. The breweries, the best show I do every fucking year, one of the best shows of the year. Baker's field is weird, though.
Starting point is 00:35:36 People there, they look like they're on X-Game. and like ex-rials. They are. Who gives the fuck? They laugh. They come out and they have a great fucking time. Yeah. That fucking breweries right up there in Bakersfield.
Starting point is 00:35:47 There is a place out there in prison that is like they're not. With Oil Dell. Were you by Oil Del? Dog in prison, those motherfuckers are like if the hills at eyes, people. They walk around with no teeth fucking filthy. Oil Del. You ever been to Oil Del? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:05 California? Yeah, it's in Bakersfield. bro, I've been to some places in California that have been imaginable unimaginable to shoot. I shot a Snickers commercial one time three hours from here. I had never seen anything like that.
Starting point is 00:36:24 The hotel was an hour from the set, guys. And there was nothing but flat in windstorms. And it was nothing but fucking dirt, guys. When we were sitting in the trailer going to shoot, It was like the creepiest environment I was out there. Was it like desert?
Starting point is 00:36:44 It was somewhere fucking crazy. Probably like an indie. There's a casino that Montoya used to book. Years ago, Montoya, remember when they had the management group? Yeah. I think before you went away, when you got out, and he got clipped. Something happened over there.
Starting point is 00:37:03 His management group booked a casino. And it paid. It paid great money. Was it a New Mexico? No. It was no. It was four hours from here. But something again.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Casino Marengo? No, it was north. Okay. And they, I hear it once a year, somebody goes, I'm doing a show up there. I'm like, they still do shows there because it was. Chon-Chi? It was a four-hour drive, and the last hour was Hill. You don't see, no.
Starting point is 00:37:31 You don't see nothing. Oh, shit. Lee, you don't see nothing. Just old Indian? And all of a sudden, you see it. a light and it's like the Mad Max you know like the Mad Max movies at night how they're fought in the road warrior
Starting point is 00:37:46 like out of the distance you see like lights like people with torches yeah like that's how the casino was out there I think it's probably like when you're driving onto the reservation right yes I mean the last hour dog you better have a full tank of gas and you better not be hungry you better not need the shit because there is fucking nothing yeah they got a spot like that now called the Chonk Chonzie.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Andre Covington. Is that the name? Yes, he's always. He's cool. Shout out to Andre Covington. Hell yeah. He was booking me. And that's another one?
Starting point is 00:38:19 20 years ago. So like... Andre Covington has been... Excuse me. I've been here since 97. I think Andre Covington was giving me work in 98. He was a DJ up in Fresno. Still is.
Starting point is 00:38:35 He had the radio nation. You know, he had the comedy night. We were always up there. I just saw the guy in San Jose, the coach. He wanted me to do Cincoa, I'm already in Tempe. Okay. But he asked me, he goes, we're doing a benefit. He'll call me for the next one.
Starting point is 00:38:50 He used to book something at Bakersfield, the town next to Bakersfield. That was one of my favorite drives. When I had a gig up North, I knew one thing. I was going to get good tacos because he was a place off the off the, whatever North.
Starting point is 00:39:07 The 99 or the 5th, or the five something the five north you drive 45 minutes out of here you see that taco truck on the side of the road that's the one little chubby maxon doing his wife has always has the thing around there I don't know how many times I stopped in there over the years we used to do all those rooms I don't been driving up to with freddie sodo oh shit to do a room that paid Mercedes yeah like we would do that that was your once and those days days, I was going up north
Starting point is 00:39:39 three times a month. And it paid good, right? It was a great. You would drive Mike Marino had a room up there. Mike Marino? Five hour drive, deep into the heart of Texas. You got a hotel because it was fuck. Yeah, you ain't driving back. Yeah, you ain't driving back.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Fuck that. So, yeah, once you get to Cal, it's weird because when I first came to Cali, I was like, okay, if I could book myself in California, I'll just zip into LA. And this was way before they was fucking, make a turn in 30 miles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:15 This was way before that shit. You had to use a Thomas guy? You had to use a Thomas guy to measure it out. And I remember like, fucking going, Jesus Christ. You know, I booked myself in Northern California. But, but this is still
Starting point is 00:40:35 five or six hours from seven hours from California. Like, why I need to be? It's a lot. It's a big-ass state people. California is a fucking long drive. Texas will kill you, but California is a long fucking drive. Yeah, it's way more traffic, more congested, and you run into crazy people the farther you fucking leave.
Starting point is 00:40:56 No, you know what I tell what I think, bro. Here's what I think. I think that driving is great. I love driving. I love driving. For years, I fucking drove. I busted my hump in a fucking B-210. I had a couple cars.
Starting point is 00:41:11 on the fucking road. But I will tell you something that no matter what your plans are, there's one part of L.A. that as soon as you get into L.A., bro, you could be 10 hours ahead of schedule and L.A. will fuck your shit up by five hours. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Like, I still remember one night doing a Sunday night show and having to shoot in L.A. from Tempe and I had to be on the set at 8 in the morning. You came from Arizona over here? Listen to me, dog. Damn.
Starting point is 00:41:44 I fucking drove. I got off the stage at Tempe. At what, what times the feet you get off? 8.30? And I went to a pizza place to get a slice and I hooked up with a chick. And we went back to a hotel. Can you believe this shit? This only happens when you're going to shoot a fucking TV show.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Yeah. This never happens when you have the day off the next day. I know. I remember going, I'm paying for a fucking hotel room. I could have stayed in the fucking condo. Why did I even get you? get back the fucking key. I can't even take it back to the condo now.
Starting point is 00:42:15 God damn it. And I left the room at midnight. Do you know I barely made it to the 7th and Tempey hours ago? And you're all drained? Bro, I got to this. I got to L.A. at 6. I was 40 miles out of L.A. It took like three fucking hours on a Monday morning.
Starting point is 00:42:35 That's happened to me before, man. I remember they used to have those gigs in El Centro or like Brawley? South Central Yeah By Mexico Fuck yes Oh Jesus Christ Yeah so we go do one out there
Starting point is 00:42:49 And this is I'm fresh off the MTV Your Mama fucking show So I got I'm young dog I got these young chicks out there I end up hooking up With the promoter's daughter

Starting point is 00:43:13 from Mike Robles at the Ice House. And I was just a stand in. Somebody bombed and I got to get on. It was, I don't want to say his name. You know what I mean? But I think this is 2003, 2002, right? When they filmed local comedy jam?
Starting point is 00:43:31 Jesus Christ, I don't remember. How many times were you on local comedy jam and what locals? Bro, I barely got out of those shows. Yeah? They hated me. They hated me Dog on those shows. I could not

Starting point is 00:50:30 It was Thanksgiving. It was the Friday after Thanksgiving. And I was still fucking. up the night before. I went to bed like at 7 in the morning. When I woke up that day, all I thought about was that 2,000 fucking out. I didn't care about my material. I didn't think the thing was going to make it to showtime.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I thought it was just a blowjob. I didn't know what. It's not going to make it. But you did show up early. I remember you was like, I said in a fucking came early. You know, we had been lied to so much at that time. You know, by that time, I had shot 50 things that were going to be on HBO and showtime. Wow.
Starting point is 00:51:10 By the time I shot Paiasso Comedy Slam, how many fucking things do you think? Did you see what I put up the other day, Raphaelos Pizza? Did you see that video I showed it? Put up? I saw that. I put something the other day on Facebook.

Starting point is 00:51:40 or 200 or 300 you worked all day like a fucking slave and then three months later you got to call that do you know anybody at YouTube? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You told me you new people. Next thing you know, your stupid thing is on fucking YouTube you did 22 years ago.
Starting point is 00:51:58 You know how many fucking things I did that were supposed to fucking be on CBS and NBC and you have no idea? In fact, I'm supposed to call this actor Ed Quinn And me and him did a fake law and order during the strike. The guys from Law & Order, SVU, got together and shot a miniseries. And you passed the picket line? And they were supposed to...
Starting point is 00:52:20 No, we shot it for something. I think we shot it for free. Oh, okay. It's the matter what you, you know, across the pickle line. I'm a union fucking delegate. I was like, danger, homie. I'm a union fucking delegate. So, no.
Starting point is 00:52:33 It was weird that we shot, and that was going to be in Lord Order. And about a year ago, I saw it on YouTube. Somebody sent me this and said, is this you? And I was like, how many fucking things that I do? Netflix has two things I'm on. Netflix, somebody emailed me the other day and said, Joey, I was watching something. And you came on.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Yeah, you're on one with Felipe where you play a cop. Yes. That's a horrid, horrid movie. That was a Nick Tutorial Specialty. Oh, no, you look like... You gotta bless Nick. You gotta bless Nick Taturo. Was he like a screenwriter?

He told me to grow a mustache. So I couldn't grow a mustache.
Starting point is 00:54:11 So I had to put a fake one off. Did you trim it? It is just the worst thing you were to see. The director had a wig. I remember it now. Oh my God. The director had a wig. But it was mixed with his hair. And the wind was blown.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Another place where the wind was blowing. And there was a Nick Latour special. His whole family was in the movie, you know, the cousins. The Filipino family was in the movie. It was fucking hilarious. You know, like I said, he paid us. You know who I meant on that?
Starting point is 00:54:46 That was very nice. The best part about that whole fucking shoot was that I got to meet that dude that came out of prison on the Sopranos and caused a lot of problems. A Prio. A Prio? Not Jackie Appreel.

And then Lebedee Live in Nyack, New York, March 21st on a Wednesday fucking night, 8 o'clock, bitches. If you, right there, that dude, the seconds put that right there, that dude. This was the funniest thing I did. on this movie was I hooked up with this dude.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Oh yeah? He was cool. What was he? The producer? No, no, no, no. Who the fuck is yelling? Your tenant? Go fast forward there. This guy here was a bad. He's in some fucking old school movie, right?
Starting point is 00:56:34 They right there with the umbrellas. Click it backwards. Click, keep going. Right there, right there. Everyone's got a story about why they should go to the head of the line. I've been a line for 10 fucking years. My uncle's just asking for what my father would have given him If he was bossed when Richard got out of prison
Starting point is 00:56:49 And it had nothing to do with they were brothers He respected my father He respect Richard Those who want respect Give respect See, he just told you to shut the fuck up And he don't mean To go fuck myself
Starting point is 00:57:05 Him All right bro We spent three days together The first day he was talking about He didn't get high or whatever I dropped the medable on him I fucked him up. This is way before.
Starting point is 00:57:20 This is legal. This is when you didn't know for sure. Like how strong it was. Yeah, people put Xanax in him and shit. You were getting fucked up, Jack. I gave him an edible. He came back the next day. He's like, where do you get a medical marijuana license?
Starting point is 00:57:35 Oh, my God. Is that why he got killed off the show? Did he get him addicted to weed or something? He couldn't remember his lines anymore. Yeah, we got so fucked up on that set. But the director had the worst wig ever. But Felipe, the producer fell in love with Felipe, so he invested in Felipe's movie.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Okay, was he like a sheriff in that movie, too? Who? Felipe. Because he had a hat on too and shit. Yes, he was a sheriff in the movie too. It is the worst of Pico Alisa. It is the worst movie of, all fucking time.
Starting point is 00:58:16 But you know what? You guys would be good like in a cop dude, like a lethal weapon with you and Felipe? No. Who's he going to run after? I can't run nobody down. That's never going to worry. There's a scene in fucking lethal weapon
Starting point is 00:58:28 where he runs from Hollywood and Vine to the 101 in three minutes. Nobody can do that. We don't even escape or something. See, it's interesting that you live, like me and Lee, we're from somewhere else. So when you watch that, like we, I loved,
Starting point is 00:58:44 watching SWAT all those movies that they remade because they shot them in my neighborhood when I lived in that neighborhood. Like pretty women. If you watch pretty women now, you're like, what the fuck? L.A., Hollywood,
Starting point is 00:59:01 there's still places. That place ain't there. I don't think it's there. But that location is still, like everything's still, oh, there's a movie called Valley Girl. about a girl who lives in the valley and dates a dude and they go into Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:59:18 It's one of my own-time favorite fucking movies. It's a great movie with Nicholas Cage and the blonde chick disappeared. But if you watch it, they show places and you just, like DuPas on Ventura, which is under construction where they closed it down. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:35 It was disgusting. Like DuPas was fucking huge. It wasn't a club? No, it's like a breakfast place. But at that time, see if there's a clip for Valley Girl. See if there's a clip Valley Girl. There's, I've done the world, and where were you? I've seen the difference.
Starting point is 00:59:55 I got to see it. What year did it come out? Bro, 80 fucking two. Hold on a second. Hold on. Co-signed. That's a foundation. credit right there

And the fucking father is the chef on Apocalypse Now. Oh, yeah? Yeah. He plays a stoner with the mother, and she's a hippie. and Nicholas Cage is fucking tremendous.
Starting point is 01:01:47 See if you get the volume on this, Lee. How long is it going to take to get to the meeting? What's the problem? You're in charge of the meeting. Look at all these places. That's the mall, Lee. That's the mall right by your house. Yeah?

Starting point is 01:03:10 Like, don't you have parties over there? Where? It is you? They're one of my all-time favorites. This dude was a big straw. Look at what they are, Sherman. For life? If you think she's confused,

Starting point is 01:04:48 Like, don't be so greedy. Were white girls like that when you got here? This is 1980 fucking three. I got here in, oh, 90. Okay. 97. I can't even believe you could brag. I didn't even know girls talk like this.
Starting point is 01:05:00 I don't know nothing. I believe it. I believe the dog. I'm from Jersey. Yeah. This is my fantasy to come out here and meet one of these broads and hang out. And fucking go to the valley and go to Hollywood. They go to a bunch of fucking cool places, man.
Starting point is 01:05:17 And that's what happens. They go to the beach and she meets fucking Nicholas Cage at the beach and then Nicholas Cage won't leave her alone. He hooks up with her. She breaks up with a boyfriend. And then all her friends turn on her. The dude with the red shirt.
Starting point is 01:05:33 That's her boyfriend. With three little punks. Straight up, busters. See, but she dumps him for fucking... Look at his lame ass. So all the girlfriends are in love with the dude with the red shirt. What's my problem? Try two days and no phone call.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Look, I'll see you guys at the bus, okay? Okay, okay? All right. So all her girlfriends want to suck this guy's dick. She got the Woody Woodward pecker pin though, dog. I mean, she's a cute girl, she's a virgin. Here. This is what you want, see, she's done with him. Dang, gave him the bracelet.

Starting point is 01:06:26 I didn't live here. I don't know. It was like the Valley must have been. You know, I read something interesting the other day that one. They banned, what's the dude? I went to the one-man show. When they banned Lenny Bruce. From all the clubs.
Starting point is 01:06:45 In the Valley? No, they banned them from everywhere in the country. Okay, I know that. The only place he could work out was in the Valley. Oh. In the San Fernando Valley. How fucking weird is that? Like this is, there was a bunch of strip clubs up here.
Starting point is 01:07:02 And up here he could be liberal. You know, up here he could be free. He wasn't in Hollywood. He wasn't around up type people. Yeah. He was up here and he just, I just read this maybe on Wikipedia, maybe a couple weeks ago. No, no.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Last week I went to the one-man show. So it had to be a couple days after that. I was up late one night. I just read up about him. Oh, shit. So it was pretty interesting. The Valley was... I watched this when I was like 19.
Starting point is 01:07:26 And it was a fantasy of mine. Like, I think, I... At 19, there was no comedy in my life, George. Dog, that comedy was the least thing on my fucking mind that I thought about. I know. I know what you... I remember... You remember that movie just one of the guys?
Starting point is 01:07:42 You know who's in that movie? Uh-uh. My friend, Georgie Kalidensky. Oh, yeah? My brother. That was my movie where the girl fucking cuts her hair. becomes a dude and writes for the school paper. He has, they shot that in New Jersey
Starting point is 01:07:54 and he was in high school. Oh, they did? That was his claim to fame for about four years. Lee would have been that guy that brought the pets in the shower. That he had a scene in fucking, in fact, let's call him up and see what he says. Watch her, die. That's crazy. This is crazy. Watch.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Just to show you people, Uncle Joey ain't fucking around. Connected. Connected. Man, I'm fucked. up that shrooms was nice yeah no no when you smoke those shrooms it's a fucking killer that's a different high
Starting point is 01:08:31 look at Lee's looking at me all weird he took like 10 hits he never even knew he kept looking at the wrong hand you don't know I'm a magician from fucking death I had already mixed it in plus I put it some of the in the edible too I sprinkled this I stuck a stem in the edible you know you got to watch me like a hawk Lisa you know what I'm saying Yeah, man, this shit made my tooth hurt again, but it feels good. It was funny, Ollie Sidney's friend last night. This is a podcast, and it just got up and said,
Starting point is 01:09:03 Can't control those edibles, man. Can't control those edibles. Watch, we'll call them up and saying, he better fucking answer the phone and shit. None of them would be pissed off. He always answered. He'll be late. What time is it in here?
Starting point is 01:09:18 930. 9.30. It's 12.30. Easy that. Wow. Girlfriend's house. Fucking doing something you shouldn't be doing. I'll keep calling him until he picks up.
Starting point is 01:09:27 You know what I don't get me? Your phone has been forwarded to an automated voicemess. You better pick up that phone, cock sucker. Because I'm going to call you back. Here we go. Watch, bam. Boom. I'll call him too, though.
Starting point is 01:09:41 No, we torment this fucking life. He won't know what the fuck in him. See, Lee, this is old-school shit. Back in the days, you would call until a motherfucker fucking answered. I will fucking call you until I'll down 911 on your ass. You'll answer that door one way or another. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:10:00 That's how we used to get your attention in the old days. They didn't have fucking caller ID. No. Nobody had caller ID. What about that fucking emergency breakthrough? I've never used. Who use an emergency breakthrough? What's that?
Starting point is 01:10:13 That's where you pay the, like you push a special number. You call the operator and tell the operator, hey, I'm calling it. phone that doesn't have double line. So I need to do an emergency breakthrough. I guess they charge $5 to your bill. Oh my God. That was a long time ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:28 That's right. That's way before Lee's time. Lee wouldn't even understand that. So let's say you were on the phone with your girlfriend. Okay? And I kept trying to call your fucking phone and your phone was busy for an hour. And I was your dad's boss. I could call the operator and go, I need to do a fucking emergency breakthrough.
Starting point is 01:10:47 And you'd be talking to your girlfriend. Yeah, so maybe we'll go on Yelp and pick a Mexican restaurant. Let me tell you something. That operator would come on and go, excuse me. Is there somebody named Lisa Allen here? Yeah, somebody's trying to call your father. Get off the phone.
Starting point is 01:11:02 Yeah. And they would fucking call back and tell your father that they've been calling for an hour when you get your fucking ass whipped. Because the operator would throw you under the bus and shit. You think I'm kidding, you know? That's old-school.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Can you imagine up on the phone with your little girlfriend talking about sucking the ticks on Saturday after the dance and also the operator cuts in and goes, excuse me. That's old school shit. Oh, my God, I forgot all about that shit.
Starting point is 01:11:33 That's that original fucking stalker, huh? Emergency break through? I still remember going and paying the phone bill. I've done that too. In 19, I started paying the phone bill for my mother when I was about seven in Union City of the bar
Starting point is 01:11:49 phone bill I'd have to go around the corner and then sometimes she'd make me walk from north bergen up that hill to pay the fucking phone bill when it was close to a place called the four-star diner across from a theater I'm thinking of doing this is in jersey the future yeah in union city and I used to pay the phone bill there that was the weirdest thing and you got to go in there and get the longer cord like if you talk shit because the cords were look at us how free oh I understand you exactly So in those days, let's pretend I shared a room with Lee. I don't want Lee listen to my conversations with my girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:12:26 So I would take the phone, drag it as far as I could, and then I got a longer wire from the phone to the other end of the fucking connector. So I could walk 20 feet with it and talk on the phone so they wouldn't hear my conversation. How crazy was that? You used to have to get a long cord. I remember those. You know what I remember, Joey? Like this gentleman, like you'll never, you remember.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Do you remember a phone, Lee? Oh, yeah, of course. I had a rotary phone in my house. I'm not that young. I didn't know for sure. Yeah. The fucking operator would call. That's right.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Yeah, I remember when I would love my parents to take me to the bank to cash your check because they had a waiting lobby. They had crackers. Like the taffy crackers like cooking. Me being a Metska, I never had a cream puff before. Lollipop. Everybody had lollipas when you were a kid. If you walked into a business,
Starting point is 01:13:23 the other day I bought my daughter a jacket, the place going out of business on the way out. She goes, you're the daughter won a lollipop. And I looked at the lady. I liked the lady a lot. I really liked how she treated my daughter like old-school gangster. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Like old-school gangster. Anybody could sell clothes. Anybody could sell you clothes. Have you ever been taken by a clothes? salesman. I mean, a real close salesman. I mean,
Starting point is 01:13:52 when he takes you to the point where you sign up for a fucking credit account. Like, bro, there was a dude one time that took me to the cleaners and I was so overwhelmed by him that I became his friend. The sad thing is I own
Starting point is 01:14:08 200 bucks since 1995, you've only turned my calls. I've been hunting him down for 20 years because he was a very, very, very dear friend of mine. And he sold clothes to you? He was a closed selling. And he was a Jewish kid from the Bronx.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Bronx. And he was the epitome of what a salesman was. Smooth made you feel good. You'll never understand what a real close salesman is. Like when I was a child and I came from, you know, and I lived on 205 West 88th Street, on 86th Street in Broadway there was a men's clothing
Starting point is 01:14:53 saw a shoe store called Briggs and from time to time as a goof my mother would take me in there to measure my foot and get shoes and there was an experience like it wasn't going to footlock when some kid just throwing six pen not paying six and a half in front of your feet
Starting point is 01:15:13 and you got to try them on it in the 70s they did everything for you They're like tailor measure. Oh my God. They sat down. First they got you up and they measured your foot. And they fucking took your dead fucking sock off. And they put like a party sock on.
Starting point is 01:15:29 What Spanish people call party socks to the thin sock. Yeah. And then they took different shoes out. The guy would come back with 18 pair of shoes. He was going to sell you something. Yes. But when you got up, how he put the shoe on, how he used the shoe horn, to look, his touch.
Starting point is 01:15:48 I remember that. How he would say to you, you look beautiful with that shoe on, and you ended up buying one shoe, but he ended up buying three because he's a salesman. He knows how to make you feel well. So I go with my daughter to the park,
Starting point is 01:16:04 and we meet up with my friend, who I'll see tomorrow at ballet, and then every Saturday is what I do. I take, you know, and we take them to a park and they play, and then we're going to eat somewhere, and we hang out. So we went to eat pizza,
Starting point is 01:16:19 Afterward, I wanted to eat a yogurt, and I went and got a frozen yogurt because you could put a bunch of fruit in it. And you can feel full for weight watches, so I went to the yogurt store. And that's what I do. I got like a little tiny beer of yogurt, but the rest is strawberries. I don't get a lot of the, and the bananas are fresh. I get bananas and I mix it up. I love bananas. All with yogurt and fucking just a plain, low-fat yogurt.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Have you ever gave me a cascaron? A cascaron. What's that? I think that with the. Cubans fry the bananas? Chichong is a fried pork. A toctong. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Toctong is how Puerto Ricans say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's had fried bananas. I took him down there. He's lost his fucking mind. He's had Cuban food down there, a little Colchinito. You know how I do. What are we saying?
Starting point is 01:17:11 We were talking about the salesman. How he got you shoes? Then he would put your shoe on with the best of a sense. This is what happened. Like, my daughter. is five. You know, we're eating yogurt, and I see it looking at that.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Now, every time I go to that yogurt spot, it's at night. When I get bored at night and I got points left, I go over there, so I fill up at about 8 o'clock. I just take it right over there stoned. I double parked the car by the house. And I go in there, and that place is open to 11. I didn't know that to lead on me.
Starting point is 01:17:43 But when you go in the daytime, there's a woman's clothing store there. But half of it is for kids. And I'm talking about badass shit, like just banging. Yeah. So we're sitting in a yoga. She knows, Dad, look at that jacket. And I look and I go, holy shit.
Starting point is 01:18:00 That's a badass jacket. And she goes, when we finish the yoga, can we go in there? Like, oh, yeah, we go in there. And we went in there. And, bro, she went in. And the lady fucking got up. And instead of coming to me, she went right to my daughter. That's the sales.
Starting point is 01:18:17 She goes, how are you doing that kind of? fine. Yeah. She goes, is there anything you're looking for? My daughter goes, that jacket. It was quick. Are you watching like an event? I'm watching this whole interaction. How your daughter's acting? Yes. My daughter comes in,
Starting point is 01:18:37 dressed to the nines with a ball arm, you know, looking beautiful what she does with that little look and the lady came up to her and she just made her feel like usually mercy will stand next to me. and look at me, not this time. Mercy looked directly out of it. She goes, how are you doing today good? There's something I could show you.
Starting point is 01:18:57 She treated mercy like an adult. Yeah. Something I could show you. And Mercer was like, hmm, that jacket. And she goes, okay, come with me. Let's take this jacket off you first. Oh, my God, you have such beautiful hair. Let's push it back.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Ah, yeah. And she walked her over and she took the jacket off gently like it belonged to her first. fucking princess like she lifted it off yeah are you ready are you ready and mercy was like yes yes yes yes and she goes hold on let's put it on in front of the mirror that was it yeah they don't do that at marshals no way they don't do that nowhere do you understand me now i'm standing there right now i have an anxiety at times this is it this is the beginnings of how it starts Now, the only reason why I went in there
Starting point is 01:19:47 because on the sign, the place is going out of business and I know it's 50% off plus I can negotiate. Oh, yeah. Which I never do, but if I had like 60 bucks cash in my pocket, right? Like, I expected it to be like fucking 80 bucks or something. And sure enough, there's one of those three-way mirrors. She put the jacket on Mercy, then she took her hair,
Starting point is 01:20:12 then she locked it up on Mercy, And it fit her like a fucking glove. Fitted. With a little fucking button on the side. Did you see it? No, I haven't seen it. He's fucking beautiful. So she puts it on.
Starting point is 01:20:25 It's a mink, pink mink. Oh. Like a princess thing. It's beautiful. And she goes, what do you think? And Mercy looks at her. She goes, I'll take it. No, she did.
Starting point is 01:20:38 She did. That's how easy it was. And I looked at her and I go, are you sure this is what you? you want? And she goes, yeah, do you think mommy, like, you know, she worked me a little bit? Do you think mommy? I go, mom's not going to say, you know. We're just telling you need a jacket. They go see grandma, you know? Yeah. And she goes, yeah. That'll work. They go, is there anything else? Now, there was another dress over there that I knew fit and was
Starting point is 01:21:06 gorgeous. My daughter looked at it. And she goes, nope, I'm good with the jacket. The lady pushed a bunch of buttons, bro, was $38. I spent $38 on stupidity every fucking day. Straight up. The lady looks at my daughter and she goes, it's hot out there. Do you want to wait out? My daughter goes, yes. The lady looks at me she goes, good choice.
Starting point is 01:21:31 90 degrees. And here's my daughter, that's fucking mink on him.

Starting point is 01:24:59 She goes, Hey, I know how you are. She wore them to school but she had a backup pair of pants in her backpack. That's what pissed me up. I go, hey man, if you were down to wear those overalls with no backup, I would have believed it,
Starting point is 01:25:15 but you knew what you were doing was wrong. Why did you bring the backup pants? Like, you know what I mean? You left the house with those pants and then you put those overalls on. It fucked me up, dog. It made me think like, damn, who's my daughter trying to impress out there? Is there another sixth grader and shit? Is there full?
Starting point is 01:25:34 So I just had that crazy talk with that let me know how guys are. I said, look, you're damn. Daddy was one of those bad guys. I know how we are. You have to protect. It's crazy, dog. She's tan. I'm flipping out.

Starting point is 01:40:38 And guess what? Vincereo sent it to me with no problem like two days later. So what I did was I put one band on one watch that they sold me and I put this metal watch on the silver on white Vincereo. I love it. I love it. And you guys know I don't wear a watch.
