I would imagine, well, I'm surprised you're not.
Like, Benets? Are you serious?
If I lived in New Orleans and had Beny's and Tripp Poys, I forgot about about fucking Beny's.
I've never even had one, but I just see it, and it just looks...
It used to be a place in Boulder.
Baby formula, too, actually, down there.
Baby formula.
You see a lot of the sisters drinking baby formula outside of the French quarter.
I don't know if you ever noticed that.
In a bottle? What do they do?
In a bottle?
No, no, no. It's just a can, buddy. It's just canning up.
It's true, man.
A couple of sisters out there can in it up.
It's, you know, it's weird you're talking about this.
Because I think that, like, my best eating period, you know, you start off skinny.
You work out in high school, you play football.
You know, I had a friend that used to eat a box of fucking cereal for breakfast and an Enteman's cake.
How to fuck that and a gallon of milk.
Whatever the fuck the milk is with the cereal.
Was he driving truck?
That's insane.
No, he was in high school.
He would lift weights.
and then, you know, I was eating too.
I had a great appetite.
Then I moved to Colorado and they took away the night eating.
There's no more drinking and going to eat what I was used to eating,
which was an open steak sandwich or two in the morning with a filling it up.
And not even brushing your teeth.
Shit, just going to bed with dirty teeth.
Fuck, yeah, that's how I do.
Fuck, yeah, fucked up.
So that's, yeah, that's where I'm from at a place you get to bed with dirty teeth.
You get dirty teeth.
And, you know, you don't, uh, I just don't.
I don't eat here at night.
I go home, if I'm really high,
I'll eat whatever my wife cooked, which is controlled.
It's like a chicken color.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not like 20 chicken colors.
Well, there's 20 chicken colors.
She could fuck shit up.
There'll be like one leftover chicken till it.
I'll eat a chicken color, eat an apple.
You know what I'm saying?
It's crazy.
I've been lucky all week.
My mom has been here for almost a week.
No way.
And I haven't eaten this good in four years.
She's cooked.
She's cooking breakfast?
We've been sleeping a little late.
A couple days she made breakfast, but it's been like, she made brisket.
She made a couple kinds of different kinds of chicken.
And it just stacked all of that.
Stacked all my, like my entire fridge is full now for like the next few weeks.
I like Peach Cobbler.
Oh, she made icebox cake.
Have you ever had that?
All you do is you take a layer of graham crackers and you have to get the cook and serve pudding,
not like pudding cups, but you have to cook pudding.
And you just do layers of pudding and graham crackers.
You put in the fridge and then freeze up and then put some whipped cream on it.
Mm-hmm.
Listen, if I went to a concert, do you think?
I'm bringing a hamster home with fucking ACBC.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
I'm about to rock.
I'm going to be fucked up the whole night with this hamster in my pocket.
But when you leave, when you leave, Coco, when you leave the place, that's when we get you, bro.
You get it their head.
People are leaving on ecstasy pills.
They're on Molly.
You leave.
You get that fucking hams.
You get that warm little piece of God in their hands.
They buy it every time, bro.
I was on the Rogan podcast, and I told the truth.
My main affidrate, if anybody ever fucks with you, come to me.
Don't say nothing to him
You come to me
And you go, this guy fuck to me
And this, this, this and this and this way
And I'll ask you a bunch of questions
And we'll lay a road plan
For you to torture this guy, bit slap him
Shoot him, just fuck with him
Light his house on fire, you know
Steal his mail, whatever the fuck
And I first, like, when I was a kid
I really was the best
Like if you fucked him, I'd just wait and rob your house
I just rob your fucking house
That's it, like you're getting your house robbed
That's it
That's always the plan.
And I'm taking the most important thing to you in that fucking house.
I would steal eight-ball cash jewelry,
but if I knew they loved their sneakers, I'm taking the sneakers too.
So when you see them, they're like, man, somebody busted into my house
and took my sneakers.
They took my mother's jewelry.
You just steal their spoons, bro.
Everything, anything that I knew would get them.
I'm a professional torture.
And when I got the boulder in 87, I got the boulder in December, 86.
Yeah, I was running from cops and drug dealers.
I had like 60,000 in Cair.
So you went to Boulder?
I was in Aspen.
I was an Aspen.
I was in Aspen.
In the 86. Please.
Please.
You have no idea, though.
I was international.
You understand?
So I'm up in Aspen.
I fuck up.
And the girl I'm with from Boulder.
We had already a warrant in Boulder.
And I'm like, let's take a chance.
Let's move back to Boulder.
I got pulled over, no warrant.
But I got arrested for fucking Reefer.
It doesn't really matter.
The whole story is I got a job the week before,
fucking Denver gets beat up by the Giants in the Super Bowl.
That fucking Thursday I started the job.
And, uh,
Lee's fucking,
Lee's on the griddle over here, son.
He's fucked up.
Hang in there, right?
He'll start seeing devils in a second.
I love it.
We'll cut it short and then we'll do a periscope with the lights off.
Just Black Sabbath we sold ourselves for Rock and Roll.
And we'll lock the door and make bets to see how it'll only take
before Lee comes shooting out to,
Oh, we locked a thick, we locked this, this big girl in our town.
We liked this big girl one time we ate some acid.
And we locked this big girl into a room at this party.
And we kept going in there with fucking pots of fucking warm water, fucking pouring it on.
I feel bad.
I feel horrible, dude.
I didn't look.
We were as kids and we were on acid, dude.
And then, bro.
You can't tell me this, though, when I'm straight.
You got to tell me how much on you.
You've locked the girl.
I just remember.
How old were you?
I just remembered it.
Probably 16.
That's terrible.
I know, but here's the thing.
Let's say I was 14.
That way it makes it sound not as bad, bro.
But look, she ate acid with us, bro.
She ate acid with us, dude.
And what happened was,
and we kept going in the room with, like, these pots of warm water.
I don't know why we had the pots of warm water
because I think we just were fucked up, dude.
And we would, like, pour a little on her.
But not like torches.
She wasn't in a cage or nothing.
She was just, you know, free range in this room, right?
I think she was scared to come out
And one time we went in, bro
We heard this loud sound and we went in
And she
She had ran against one of the walls so hard
Bro
Had fucking moved the entire wall in this house
Dude
Huge girl about 240 pounds
Beautiful girl too
The most beautiful
Biggest girl that I've ever known
Beautiful girl
Beautiful hair beautiful face
Large just large and beautiful
But she's
She fucking got lifted, bro.
And, uh...
Yeah, man, fuck.
I just came down a little bit off that fuck.
I just had a little mushroom fucking high, bro.
Fuck yeah.
So I get this.
I get this job.
I'm Boulder.
Oh, yeah.
I'm making dick of wages, and they put me as a shagger.
It's a body shop, combination detail shop.
Uh-huh.
And they made me a shaggot, which means I clean bathrooms,
I take garbage out, I pick a bag.
customers, you know, and it was
1.75 a week for like
90 fucking hours. Like I was
the first one, man. I had to be there
at 7. The thing opened at 8.30.
Or 8. I had to be that 7 to fucking sweep
and shovel snow. For 175 a week?
For 175 a week,
I'll fucking clean off all the cars,
start them all up, warm them,
bring them into the body shop according to
all the numbers. I did the whole thing,
man. And I liked it. Listen, I was fucked up
for a long time. This was a great
little job for me. But you know what, man,
$1.75 for all these hours, these motherfuckers
are getting a little fat off me.
And I'm like, fuck it. I want to go in the detail shop.
So I started petitioning to go on the detail shop.
I was a really good fucking Shaggers, so
they knew my work ethic. The guy was from
fucking New York State. Steve something.
There's so many
fucking Steve's in my life that every time I look
up his name and fucking Facebook, but he
was good to me, Steve. In fact,
Steve was the dude who
introduced me to Steve and Tidwell,
the dude who I kidnapped Ken.
Vela with.
So, that's how I knew all these guys.
So I petitioned Steve, I go, Steve.
That's it, man.
I'm a great shagger.
I want the fucking job in the back.
You know, I'm sick and tired of making $1.75.
Yeah.
I want to make $200 a fucking day like these fucking Ginooks.
Yeah.
So one of the guys heard me, and he didn't like me.
His name was Dirk something.
Oh, fucking Dirk.
Dirty Dirk.
And Dirk wasn't a tough guy, but he was one of these guys that would fight me to the end.
But, and he had the body shot.
guys. He had the whatever
guys, the
the details. The
the details? They were on his side?
The details were kind of a little cunty.
Right. You know, I knew like two of them that were
really cool. The other two
were cunty. Well, because they were above you. Yeah,
and he was the supervisor. It's hierarchy.
So I said, how am I going to get this motherfucker?
I see a dead rat
in a corner. And I took
it and I put in this jacket pocket.
That's old school. I put in this jacket
pocket. The next morning
this guy comes in with a dent in this car.
And the jacket holding on to him.
He drove home all night with the mouse in his pocket.
And then the next morning, he fucking scarred his car,
reached in for a pack of cigarettes,
and there's this fucking rat in this bucket.
And he crashed the car.
He fucking got it.
That's what the dent was for?
Oh, fuck yeah.
I mean, he fucked up the side of his car into like a tree.
It's something like that.
Fuck him.
You know me, though.
He loved this car
He was all those deep
I love this car
He waxed out and every day
And shit
I'm like get the fuck out of here

Lee is fucked up for you people.
We're not watching this life.
Dude, I remember one time we, uh, this, uh, um, fuck.
You got me out to death.
What you?
I'm gonna meet a debt.
I'm gonna mean a debt is hot.
Anything you say to death is always funny.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
You ask me to death?
Joey's fucking died a million.
I used to have a friend that he was describing the girl I was dating to me.
It was a father.
And he goes, thank God you got her off me.
He goes, when she was a kid, I used to call a dollar a debt.
I couldn't see dollar debt.
Dollar of debt.
That's a great fucking name.
What does that mean?
Dollar of debt.
Give me a dollar.
Give me a dollar.
Give me a dollar.
How many fucking dollars do you need the day?
It was dollar of debt.
Dude, I remember this.
Yeah, now I feel bad about what we did it, that bigger girl, bro.
You can't, you know.
But we didn't do it because she was big.
We just did it.
She just got fucked up, and she couldn't get out the room, you know?
Like, I got, one of my best friends, he got fucked up one time,
and he started talking about Asian people.
We never even seen any Asians in our life.
And he started, no, and I guess maybe, like, in a past life,
he might have known some Asians, you know?
And so he starts bringing up their names, bro, and knowing them,
and knowing shit about him on this mattress in this house.
And I'm like, fuck, dude, you're fucked up, bro.
I'm leaving, right?
So apparently I'm the kind of friend that when your friend is at his worst,
you fucking leave, bro.
But he's talking about Chinese people.
He's never met Chinese people.
We never known any.
So what is he saying?
He's just saying like, hey, you remember fucking, like,
you remember fucking sun lamb, bro?
He was there for us, you know, and all this shit.
I'm like, son lamb, bro.
We don't know him, dude.
You know?
You're just fucking like talking about Dorothy.
Dorothy, Dorothy.
You know, we didn't know any Asians, bro.
And I'm like, I got to get away from this.
Where you came from when you grew up, there was no Asians in that neighborhood?
Not when you were there.
Now there's probably four.
Yeah.
No, we live in a small town, dude.
I mean, I remember.
We probably had about 2,000 growing up.
Oh, shit.
This one dude I remember was trying to be an Elvis impersonate.
He said he was an Elvis impersonate.
But he was just a fucking alcoholic.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, we don't need any Elvis, bro.
You know?
We got 2,000 people.
We need fucking gas money.
We need jobs.
Yeah, we need ideas, bro.
Give us some fucking ideas.
Those fucking Elvis impersonators are paying the ass.
They really are.
They really are.
Get a fucking life, bro.
I got to tell you something.
You know, I told me before, when I first got into comedy,
when I got serious about it in 94,
there was a guy in Denver who you should go to comedy works.
And I knew his hair cut, look familiar.
When you look at somebody, they're like,
their headcoat looks familiar.
But who am I?
I'm on cold, pills.
You know, I'm beating badass.
I'm eating bad.
I got terrible habits.
Who am I to fuck around with somebody's hair?
I have a fucking terrible.
And all of a sudden, I got a call from the guy and he goes, hey, I'm doing a gig.
You know, I'm talking those days, 50 bucks.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm like, yeah, I'll beat it an hour.
And I show up, and he comes to the door, and he's got away 350.
And he's got the belt on, the whole Elvis suit.
And, you know, I mean, the guy is.
Did you know what was going to be like that?
No, yeah.
I knew the whole time.
I was at home preparing for this shit.
No, when I walk in the fucking door, there he is.
I hate that.
I hate it when they surprise you with that.
And he's like, I'm the Elvis in person.
They just do 10 minutes in front of me.
And you know what?
I think I was supposed to get 50 bucks.
He gave me a yardstick.
Wow.
And then he calls me three months later.
He goes, hey, I opened up a bar, hilarious.
So I get to this bar.
It's Wednesday nights.
He's the main act.
And he brings up three comedians.
And at the end, he sings all those Elvis songs.
And he's fucking horrible.
Yeah.
I mean, he's fucking horrible.
He's smoking cigarettes.
His teeth are green.
Yeah, they're horrible.
He's boozing.
He's fucking fat.
He had let himself go.
Sounds like Elvis.
Yeah.
Sounds like no voice.
But, you know what this guy did?
He was an Elvis impersonator and someone, that was his claim to fame.
I mean, the whole inside of the club was Elvis themed.
Right.
But it had a wall with write-ups about him, you know.
All the awards he wanted shit.
He was a Vegas boy.
And he was no good.
Maybe at some point he wanted.
I mean, you know, at this point, and he fucking bought this club.
They bought him out in Vegas.
Like, they bought him out because his voice is so bad.
I don't fucking know.
And he went to Colorado and opened up a fucking little bar.
Like, it wasn't even a bar guy.
It was like an old, like an old boutique that he turned into a bar during the week.
And he sang Elvis.
It was a woman's closet.
Hysterical, hysterical.
But you know what, man, whatever the guy said,
he would always pay me, he paid me double.
He never tried to stick a finger on my ass.
He never did drugs or nothing,
but he always bought me a drink.
He'd go, take a drink, you know, don't.
He goes, I'm not going to give me two
because I'm not going to be responsible for you driving.
Even if you have money, I don't want you to drink in here.
Go drink next door.
Yeah.
But he was solid.
Like, he liked me as a comic,
and he always paid me, and he didn't blow smoke up my ass.
It's not like he was going to make a video and take me to Vegas.
Thinking back,
and I forgot his name.
and I'm really sorry.
Good dude.
He was just a terrible Elvis.
Yeah.
I wouldn't have Elvis fucking...
No.
I think if Elvis came back to life, he'd shoot half these impersonation.
Like, that's hell for Elvis.
Like, that's his...
No, that's a great movie.
Elvis comes back and fucking kills all the impersonators.
Let's hit, all the bad ones are the maker.
Ta-da-da-da-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
Instead of ISIS coming in and shooting everybody,
it's a fat Elvis with a missing leg and he's decapitated neck and shit.
He shoots people.
to the kitchen, he takes something, he leaves, and shit.
And the cops don't mess him because it's Elvis.
This dude was the worst, bro.
He was the worst, and he wasn't, like, he had no work.
They let him dress up, like, they dress him up like Santa around Christmas,
let him wave at the trains and shit coming in the town, you know?
Like, seasonal greeter, you know?
And he'd always, like, like, you'd see him, and he'd be like, oh, who, you know,
it's like, kill the fuck out, dude.
Give him a break.
Yeah.
What's weird?
Just, it's just us.
You're an alcoholic.
Yeah, you know, fucking Elvis and person.
You're not even in uniform.
You're in an alley right now.
And his kids, he made him be Pentecostal.
He had four kids, no mom.
He made him be Pentecostals, kept him in a yard.
What's Pentecostal, me?
It just means they wear, like, big clothes and believe in, like, God, like, I think a lot.
You know?
But they wear, like, just huge clothes.
Like, cheap clothes.
Like, they look like, like, the kids look like rodeo clowns.
You know, like, they just look.
You know, like, and the girl let me feel her breast, actually, one time.
They had a bar bar by our fence around the house.
The girl, let me feel somebody.

Who else eats a mushroom on a Wednesday?
I'm sitting here going on a while.
Just us, dude.
What is wrong with me?

Out of place.
Out of place, dude.

You feel that ever?
All the time.
What do you mean ever?
There's more times that I feel in place.
Like, that's a weird times.
But it's like, my girlfriend and I know were just talking about it
because we stayed in on New Year's year.
Yeah.
But seeing the shots of Times Square and seeing the shots of the clubs,
maybe I should have done something a little bit more social,
but that's, that is not, I would, I would rather, I'd rather be in a box than in a club.
Yeah.
It seems, that, that would feel so uncomfortable there.
Like, a New Year's Eve, like, club, like, that's not me at all.
Well, you don't see, in a club today, it's so you to pitch,
you don't see people getting fucking molested in the background and people, you know.
But at least light a candle or something for you later,
you do anything? Oh, well, yeah.
He's going to, Joey's going to make fun of me. We went away the week of
before, we went to Long Beach, as funny as it's home.
They took a trip to Long Beach, dude. I don't know. Probably to pick up rent.
This is amazing. This is just amazing.
So anyway, I can't even get what. That was it. You took your girl to fucking Long Beach.
No, she took me. She took me.
Jesus Christ. But then we just decided to come home because it was rain.
Because it was raining.
Yeah, what are we going to sit in someone else's apartment?
on New Year's Eve down the Long Beach
when I have a nicer apartment up here.
Bro, what the fuck?
It's a horror show.
I tried, and I keep losing them.
I'm losing them by the month.
It sounds like the notebook for two people on Down syndrome.
No, no, this was something that when he told me, I go,
what?
Now, when he told me, I thought they were going to leave
Friday night, go to a hotel, like normal Americans, right?
Yeah.
Wake up in the morning, get a little room service,
gives her stabbing.
Yeah.
Take a walk down, come back.
back, smoke a joint, eat a star, maybe about six, take it to a nice fucking restaurant,
six, seven o'clock sitting, dog.
So you're out of there by 9.30, you take it back to the apartment, give a straight up,
eat three more stars and watch some stupid movie.
I thought that's what he was doing.
I got a call from him Thursday at lunchtime.
So we're about to leave.
I go, leave where?
Long Beach.
I almost shot myself in the fucking head.
I go, this kid can't be this stupid.
And then that night I went at the dinner.
I had to do a set last week.
I had two hours to kill.
I told my wife, don't even make dinner.
I'm going to eat dinner in Hollywood.
There's no sense of me coming back.
I did a set for Penn State.
So I had two hours to kill, so I went to Cheebo.
That's one of my favorite places in Hollywood.
Is it a good place?
I never even been there.
I see it.
I don't eat the pizza.
I don't eat none of that shit.
I get the salad is delicious.
The minute, whatever salad, and the big mama spaghetti with no meat.
just pasta with sauce
and you got cheese
and they give you a small serving
it's always been good
I've been eating there for fucking years
wow and that's what I eat
I go there three times a year though
if I'm lucky I got three times to drive by
I got an hour here
I got no addition I planned it I go okay
I got an hour and a half
and might as well go to fucking
Cheebo or bag
and I get excited yeah
I sit next to a guy
I go to the bar and I see the bartending
he's an old door guy from the improv
we start chit-chatting
two things down for me is a guy from Emerson College
and right away I got to ask him
I had to ask him what do they teach you up there
because I don't know I'm not sure anymore
I go I hired him because I thought he was sharper than I was
but lately he's been slipping I don't know what the fuck is going on
and that was Lee?
That was Lee he went to Long Beach Thursday afternoon
for New Year's now I could see
like I said Friday after all the traffic is that
now here's the best one
Here's the best one out of all of them.
I call him Thursday night, or he calls me.
We're talking in the conversation.
And also, he goes, yeah, we Airbnb.
I go, you're not even in a fucking hotel with like a fucking elliptical.
That you go to the elliptical.
You've been home all week with her,
and now you go down there for two more fucking nights with her
to do nothing, to look at each other, and eat cookies and shit.
At a strangest apartment.
And watch really bad TV in a stranger's apartment.
This was something that I was.
squatters, bro.
I don't know what we're here.
You're fucking squatters.
When he called me Saturday and told me he was coming back,
I wanted to tell him, just GPS to cart through the ocean to the Santa Monica Pier and take the car right
off the fucking pier.
Because it ain't getting no better in your life.
He went away to Long Beach.
And every morning when I woke up since that, today there was a burglary in Long Beach when
the guy shot the burglar.
He shot the burglar every day I woke up.
That morning, all I was.
You were praying for it to me like Lee's apartment?
No, like to see Lee fucking shot in the head.
Like Lee got hit by a car
coming with a box of wings.
They got poor girlfriend on the thing.
I don't know what happened. They got in stuff with a red light.
The saddest part is...
Who the fuck goes to Long Beach?
I don't know. Okay.
Lee used to treat himself to a nice night
at Chibo at the bar.
And now a few years later, he's finally got
a girl. No, that wasn't me. He was at Chibo
that night and he was thinking about me.
Because the guy was from Emerson. I had to ask him, what do they teach you
that? Do they teach you anything? Or
What the fuck do you have to eat that?
I'll be honest.
Okay.
This was a...
We couldn't fly anywhere.
We didn't have enough time.
So this is what she chose.
But we actually had a good time.
The fucking aquarium in Queen Mary are fucking awesome when you're stoned as fuck.
But this is what I will...
I did want to talk to you guys about.
You see what I deal with?
Airbnb.
The aquarium?
It feels like squat.
Like, it was the weirdest experience of my life.
Don't you touch any animals?
I get the pet and zoo in there?
Yeah.
Well, at the aquarium, yeah.
I thought you were talking about the apartment for a second.
Not at the Airbnb, dude.
You fucking...
Like, there's other roommates?
Like, there's roaches in the apartment?
You massage another roommates.
No, thank God there weren't roommates.
This guy.
Imagine if there was a roommate, he takes his lady out.
No, it's a horror show.
I live in a fucking world between him and my wife.
I'm not going to make it to 56.
I'm not going to make it the...
I just spent four weeks in that house.
of my wife.
Wow.
It's a torture chamber.
It's a fucking house of horrors.
I love it with all my heart.
It's a torture chamber.
What's the worst part?
Like, what's the worst part?
Honestly.
It being 9.30.
In the morning?
At night.
And just sitting there not having a spot
because I don't want to be at the store
every night, probably.
You know, I don't want to be that guy.
You don't need to be at the store every night.
There's young guys coming up.
I know how I felt when I was coming up,
and I had shit to do,
and there's some old guy that's coming down.
I'm good enough.
Two spots a week, I'm good.
This week I'm doing Thursday.
Tomorrow and I'll do flappers.
If I get out Jiu-Jitsu early Wednesday,
I'll pop into someplace.
But, you know, I got a gig Friday.
I'm fucking good.
I'm not working on nothing or nothing.
I'm just putting them do a couple bits together,
finding my new fucking voice, you know?
Yeah.
It's like,
uh,
when you travel,
it breaks the monotony up a little bit.
Oh,
yeah.
And I was home for four fucking weeks.
And it was the holidays
and one of those weeks
the baby was home all.
That's tough.
Babies off of school?
All week.
One week vacation.
And it rained three of those days.
You know what I'm saying?
So she wanted to ride the bicycle.
That's like a triple threat of,
so do parents hate vacation?
And the truth of the matter is,
the truth of the matter is that might,
I'm a dud.
I've always been a dud.
You know, Lee says that he feels uncomfortable out.
I'll tell you where I feel comfortable.
I feel comfortable in a bar where the bartenders,
a good-looking woman in 1924.
Yeah.
She still has tits.
She wears push-up bras.
She's got freckles on her tits.
She's got a sense of humor.
The bar seats 20.
She serves some fucking food in there that's kick-ass.
There's a jupe.
box, there's music. You know what, at this age,
I don't want a fucking pool table. Yeah.
And I don't want a dart board. I don't want a lot of
movement. I never like movement.
Yeah. Sit down, have a fucking be, and talk
to me if you want to do this. If you're going to be moving around,
go somewhere else.
Yeah. Pool, then arguments, and I can't
walk. This guy's throwing a fucking dart at me.
You know, I just want to be, you know what I'm saying?
Like, that's what I want to do. That's my ideal bar.
And to be strictly honest with you,
since the age of 16, that was always
my ideal bar. Once we started
going out to those discos. I've said it once. I've said it before. My wife asked me on the ride
home the other day from dinner. We were listening to Studio 54 on Sirius X-Sept, and she goes,
so you used to go disco dancing? I said, are you crazy? I was a kid when that shit came out.
Yeah. I go, when I was in high school, I could put a handful of times I went to clubs.
With the studio, but I went to studio in 84. There was nothing going on in the studio no more.
It was a Thursday night. 84. Yeah, I was going to Club area like that.
twice. I went to like the rooftop four, five, six, but I was never a club guy, bro. Look at me.
I knew who the fuck I was. I belonged to the neighborhood bar with a bartender named Lila.
Yeah. She had a dog behind the bar. The dog slept the whole fucking time. And that's the bar I grew
up in Joe Marys. They had a little circular biscuit thing, like a daily, like a bakery thing
in the middle. And they would have a cover. And in the middle, there was ham and cheese sandwiches.
That's beautiful. So if you want a sandwich, you, you just.
just went over and got it. They had Stewart's sandwiches. And next to it was a, uh, not,
don't cook tonight called chicken delight. It was a chica fill. Not chick fillet. This is when
chicken was chicken. And one of the kids we hung with was the fucking cook. So at the end of the
shift, he'd come over to the bar with a box of chicken from the left over chicken from the
fucking night. It was, and you had a tab. And the guy that ran the place was a loan shark.
So if you fucking need to buy an eight ball, you could borrow 300 from on the spot. I still
old 8,000 from 1980
fucking 2.
You know, I never
I never, the first
time I went to Vegas dog, I
knew it wasn't for me. Yeah.
I just always felt very insecure in those
places, always. Still do.
Yeah, that's how I felt, man. Still do.
And I always had an excuse of my head on why
I felt insecure.
When I was younger, it was that
I wasn't good looking enough and I'm a criminal. These people
are all nice people.
These aren't the environment I want to hang with, and these people
don't want to hang with me.
Yeah.
And when I got to a certain age, it was I was too old.
And then now, I'm like, I just feel like I'm playing out fucking pervert.
Yeah.
Like, I remember being 25 and seeing like 50-year-old guys thinking, why is this fucking guy here?
This dude's a perfect.
Lee is a sweetheart.
I've seen Lee at a bar.
No, I can tell he's a gentleman.
Lee wants to go to a bar and watch a football game and have a bucket of wings.
And he wants to yell maybe a little bit.
He doesn't want nobody close to him yelling.
He doesn't want nobody.
Leo paid $3 extra just to, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it's in the white section.
Lee wouldn't do good in Studio 54.
What's he going to do?
Have one drink.
People are going to try to talk to him.
I never liked going to a place where the music was loud.
That's where you lose Uncle Joey.
Yeah.
If I can't talk to you, the way we're talking,
now I don't want to be in this, dog.
I'm lost.
Yeah, see, that's the same as for me, man.
But I would, for some reason, I kept making excuses that made me, like, less than, you know.
So, like, oh, it's my fault that I don't.
fit in here instead of just being like oh this isn't my environment you know now why didn't you feel
it was your own environment where i just felt like you feel older no i felt like uh you know like these
people were rich or these people were better than me or these people you know i'm you know i'm kind of a
a bit of a miscreant you know i grew up on the other side of the tracks in these people but they
don't know it like that's the thing i always thought because my my whole thing comes from like i've
always been chubby and short.
You're like a tall, in shape, good-looking dude.
I'd look at you, and I think there's nothing wrong in his life at all.
Like, there's no way he's self-conscious about anything.
Well, that's what both wrong, man.
I look at you, and I think this guy's fucking got it all.
Joey here with my main man, nephew, all-around great guy,
and hilarious comedian, my brother, Mr. Theo Vaughn,
and my little fucking Jewish friend, Mr. Lee Syatt.
The Jewish jingle bell, baby.
Johnny Hummus.
Wow.
St. Louis, thank you very much for coming out to the shows this weekend at Helium.
I had a fucking blast with you people.
I really did.
The food was great, $12 for lunch.
I could move there and become one of those 600-pound man.
They're going to take me via cargo to Houston and shit,
where I feel every pothole in my asshole.
Anyway.
Theo Vaughn, what up?
Good to be here, man.
Great to be here.
It's a special occasion tonight.
I mean, it's Theo Vaughan.

Joey's really supportive.
I make a phone call my niggas coming like the Gotti boys.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, comedy or just chilling, you've always been supportive, man.
So I'm happy.
I feel I was going to go to a meeting tonight,
but I was like, you know what?
I'm going to come here and spend it with you guys, man.
So thank you.
Thank you for having me.
This is a meeting because that's what I thought.
We're going to get more from them than we get at a meeting sometimes.
Before the show started, we were talking about the use and abuse we were doing,
you know, and how they were doing it,
and the scams and the mental things.
you go to in just the first year I remember it took me 90 days to just fucking
realize what was going on and I would go to bed early I'd force myself to go to
bed early not to have that withdrawal yeah nighttime withdrawal yeah how was it
for you yeah it's true the lady you stay up the more you get lonely you know you
could feel the wolves starting to kind of climb around inside of you you know
that's how I feel like I feel you know like they get these dangerous squirrels that
kind of live inside of you and the later you stay up the more they start
you know kind of peeking their head around you know looking for drugs or looking for pussy or
something you know and i feel like if i would go to bed earlier you know shut things down like we'd
get a book or do something calm light a candle do something that kind of sets my mind down a little bit
that i would feel better that's what i started to notice you know so addiction is it's like
a mental thing for you it seems like it's not like a i always thought addiction would be like a more
of a physical thing it sounded very mental it's both
Yeah.
It's both.
It becomes, it starts mental.
For me, at the end of the last two years, like I've said before, dog, at 5 to 8, my body
would ache.
Really?
No matter what I ate for dinner, no matter what type of a day I had, at 5 to 8, bro, my body
would start hurting.
And I couldn't think, I couldn't think, except going to the ATM.
That was all that was on my mind.
Yeah.
And as soon as that day, I couldn't think.
That man answered the phone, my heart started beating.
I'd take a shit and leave, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
When you came in here and told me the story about New York a year ago,
I think that scared you a little bit that night.
That made you realize, I've always thought about that story
and how you said it on the podcast.
Yeah.
I always thought that you're very intelligent
because you learned something.
That was nothing.
It could always get worse, you know.
Yeah, it just kind of affected, like I showed up at O.
and Jim over there with Jim Norton at their show when I was fucked up, you know.
Couldn't even talk. I just had like my mouth open, Daryl Strawberry's air, you know, and he freaking,
and I'm like Doc Gooden, you know, I'm out there, you know, look like I'd just been smoking the moon,
you know? And I kept drinking coffees and I couldn't, oh, I couldn't close my mouth also,
which was weird after a while, you know, when you can't even close your mouth and they kept giving me hot coffee.
And I was just like, damn, man. I just kept thinking.
thinking, you know, you wouldn't, I wouldn't have chose to be in this situation.
If somebody asked me a year earlier, hey, you want to go on opium, Jim Norton?
I'd have been like, yeah, I'm excited.
And they're like, yeah, do you want to do cocaine on night before before you go on there?
I'd have been like, no way, bro, I got to be in top, top condition when I get there.
But here I was doing that.
So I'm thinking I must not be making all of the choices for myself, you know, that the drugs
was starting to make some choices.
How long had you been doing cocaine at that time?
Not that long, man, you know?
And I just had a couple of, but every time I would get heavy into it,
maybe a couple years, but just sparingly, occasionally.
But when you would go, you would go.
Yeah, when I would go, I would go.
And I started to notice it was like, then it was, first it was like six times a year,
you know, and then it was, then it became like once a month,
and then it was becoming once a week, you know?
And so I was like, oh, this is escalating, man.
And that shit escalates quick, dude.
Like one night I left the, I was in my apartment,
and I was all fucked up, and I used to put on,
I got in a box of vest, dude.
Somebody had ordered some vests,
and I don't know if it was like a joke
or somebody accidentally got some vests
sent to the wrong person, you know,
but I got a box of vests,
you know, different types of, you know,
vest, shirts without arms, you know.
Yeah, different colors and everything.
Different colors, different styles, different patterns, everything.
And so I would, like, at night,
I'd be doing all this cocaine
and putting on these vests and shit
and kind of, you know, like enjoying myself a little bit,
listen to some good music, you know,
some aerosmiths.
or something, you know, just,
just vibing, you know.
And one night I was making a milkshake,
because I don't like to eat, honestly.
I like to make milkshakes more often.
So I'm making a milkshake,
and I left the blend,
and I got the blender on, right?
And I went outside of my apartment door,
and the door locked, dude, right?
It's like 4 a.m.
My blender's going, right?
I'm out there high on cocaine.
I got on this vest.
It's kind of, kind of tangerine,
kind of, I guess
I don't know what material it was, maybe like
Mogadishu or something, you know, something fucking
kind of fly. So this thing's
fucking going, dude, there's only like eight
units in my building, right? So I'm like,
and then I guess the machine started
smoking, the alarm starts going off, right?
Now it's 4 a.m., dude,
I got the things shorted out.
Thank God the blender
shored it out, but I got the alarm going off in the
building now. I'm standing outside of my apartment,
wearing boxers in this fucking orange vest,
got on sunshades, and then my landlord
comes out and I'm like Jesus Christ you know like just look at the shit that's going on you know
and now I got to tell him I'm just up going to piss you know like so just things like that started to
get weird you know I remember I fell asleep in some lady's bed and just urinated in her bed and she got
angry you know and she let me sleep over and I told usually I tell people before I sleep over it I'll
wet to bed once in a while you know so but anyway man it was uh yeah just just wild stuff started
happened. I'll be over at people's houses.
You know, just
it's getting late, you know, you're
touching some girl's crotch outside
of an apartment building over there and, you know,
Studio City or out near the airport
and you're like, what the fuck am I doing?
You know? It's not bad, but I'm, you know,
I did this already. I'm still
doing this, you know? So that was
some of the issues that I started to notice, some of
the patterns, you know?
It's very sad
when you look back at the stupid shit.
It's true.
It starts off.
The talk we were having before the podcast started is it always starts off recreational.
Yeah.
Listen, man, for me in L.A., for me in L.A., what's a good time for me in L.A.?
When I would get a call in 99, 2002, Doug, you know, I would get that call on Monday, and they'd say,
you have spots Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
And the old days, you called on Monday, and Tuesday morning, they called you with Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Thursday. She wouldn't give you Friday
Saturday till Friday at fucking two.
She would bury you till Friday. You keep calling.
He'd go, I don't know. Sometimes they'd be there
Thursday. But anyway, that's not what we're talking
about here. I would, you look at the week and you see what you've got, and you
planned. I would plan my...
Because for me, the best time I ever had in L.A. was going
to the store, drinking a cocktail,
and drinking sodas before I went on stage.
Yeah. It's like being a straight gay guy, bro.
He's my little brother.
I got to accept him.
What am I going to do?
You know what I'm saying?
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
He's a beautiful, and one of my 70 favorite people right there, Lysayette.
The top 70 people in People magazine?
That's your favorite.
Lysia.
That's a bad motherfucker.
My favorite 70 people, dead or alive, dude.
I don't think I know 70 people.
Yeah, you do.
Every fucking body who dies, they always make 250 mass cards for you.
Did you know that?
Did you really?
Yeah, because everybody on the average knows 250 fucking people.
That's why in business, you have to be nice to everybody.
Wow.
Everybody knows 250 people, at least.
Not Twitter, not Facebook.
You've been in contact with 250 people.
If you die by the age of 50, between classmates, high schoolmates, college mates, people at your job over 25, 30 fucking years.
That's the average.
How other people don't know that.
You learn that when you buy telemarketing in the 70s.
That book, healthy in more ways than one.
Telemarketing in the 70s.
If you want to sell, that's what you fucking sell.
selling generations.
Let's say you sell fucking vacuums
and you're serious about it.
What you hope is that
Lee becomes your gumba
and Lee's son buys your vacuums,
Lee's daughter buys your vacuums,
Lee's wife, you know, is wife's sister.
Fifth generation on the mcumes.
That's what you do. That's what a good fucking
salesman does. You know what's so weird.
You're at the christening, you're doing everything. You know what you're back?
Yeah. I'll tell you this. My sister used to be
an exotic dancer, right? She used
to be in the fucking...
Where?
Louisiana, kind of certain areas.
That's a tough living.
Yeah, it's a tough area, especially out there.
And she actually learned a dance, and I remember this is wild, but she learned a dance
and it was like a trailer, right?
It was like an exotic place, but it was a trailer, but the stage wasn't very high.
The stage was too high in the trailer.
So the dancers had to crouch and strip and dance at the same time, dude.
So if you were over like 5'4, you had to, like, 5, 4, you had to,
like duck and look sexy and that's hard to do man think about that i've never had to think
about that because i'd be fine in that trailer oh yeah you'd be good bro oh you'd be the fucking
you'd be a dessert dancer bro they'd bring you out with the fucking with the cream brulee man
shit yeah fucking lee would take the stage like a fucking thanksgiving treat how many how many
cream brulees do you think lee would dance self that motherfucker came out every hour on the
hour at least eight at least eight an hour i would tell eight
every 15 minutes.
But there's only so many people
in the building
but it's a very small club.
Let me ask you this.
Yeah, but if they're coming
to this club
to see me,
they like dessert.
How long is you
this thing's like dancing?
She was probably out there
for I guess about eight years.
Were you mad at?
Eight years in the trailer?
Oh, no.
She just started there.
Then she went in
buildings that were zoned
correctly and everything, you know?
She could stretch out, you know?
Did you get mad
in all those years?
Were you set with her?
Let me think,
man.
We weren't really close
growing up.
I mean,
I actually,
Older than you or younger than you?
Younger than me.
Okay, yeah, so you were upset.
I mean, I was, uh...
Well, the crazy part was, honestly, we look alike.
So I would see dudes sometimes looking at me, like, weirdly, like, around when I was out at lunch and shit, you know?
And they were like, do I know...
She got a got a fucking goat tea.
Fucking hilarious.
But, uh, but so I guess that if we wouldn't have looked alike, it might have not been so wild to me.
But you know what, dude, she didn't have, you know, she was missing some elements growing up.
And, you know, I respect any women if they're out there in those type of environments because it's a hard environment.
And that, you know, because otherwise, if you're not doing that, what are you doing then, you know?
If you're at that doorstep where you are, you know, where you're looking for an occupation, but if you're not doing that, you're probably up to some dark art.
You know?
Sorry about that
What the fuck, bro?
I hear music
Yeah
That's Joey's ringtone
It's like Elvis for the holidays
Bro
You want some fucking Memphis email list
I don't fucking know
What kind of
Did you go to that strip club
In the trailer?
I mean I'd been
I'd been over there before
But I didn't
You know
I wouldn't go there
With my sister
Well no
I would hope not
But I can't even
Amet
Is it just like
A like a construction
trailer that they just put a little stage in
on a couple folding chairs?
I mean, I don't think that they had
you know, a long, I don't know
what their long term business model was,
you know? I mean, I'll say that, but they,
you know, it was good. It was a small town
place, you know, and people were enjoying themselves.
And, uh,
but yeah, I mean, I'll, I love my sister. She's the best.
You know, I mean, I would,
I mean, she's a fucking G, man.
She's a fucking G. You know, she's
real as they get.
It's crazy because
But what were we talking about?
What were we talking about?
Squatting the trailer
But even got into this conversation
No, no, no, it's just weird that
Did she ever go to a big city and dance
Or that she keeps it like Shreveport?
I mean, I think she, you know, nothing real crazy
I don't think, I mean, we weren't that close
At a lot of that time.
She married now?
No, she's not married.
Still single?
Ready to mingle.
Ready to mingle.
Ready to mingle. Cool chick, though.
Kids?
No kids.
Look, she kept it together, man.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
That's hot.
Listen, you're 22, right?
You're 22.
You got nothing going on.
I mean, what are your fucking options?
You're going to go work at a vet or a daycare for $8 a hour or whatever.
As a young girl, I mean, you know, and I have a daughter.
I would it feel if she came to me and said, look, I want to go to fucking college.
But I got an answer.
I'm going to go strip for five years, for four years.
The four years that could have been in college, I'm going to go strip.
But you're not that intelligent to grasp it at that time.
Right.
Girls that go into that, go into that.
And I'm not talking on that line here because they were missing something.
Yeah.
For the first time, somebody paid attention to them.
Yeah.
So.
Oh, yeah, she was abused.
She had like this violent kind of black boyfriend she dated and that abused.
And I think that's what got her into it, you know.
It's just, you don't give a fuck about yourself.
But think about it.
With what you know now.
Yeah.
The knowledge you have now.
You were fucking an 18-year-old chick.
Your tits were hot.
You got a nice little ass.
All these guys are torturing you all the time.
They're fucking broke.
You know, I mean, as a woman, you go, you know what?
I wasn't raised to do this.
Yeah.
But it's 2000 fucking 17.
Yeah.
I'm going to go to subway and be surrounded by Stiffs or some, you know.
Dude's jerking off over there anyway.
They caught two dudes jerking off by our subway.
Really?
Yeah.
There was something about it.
I think it was just, I don't know, it could have been the air freshener or something.
And they used to literally the subway fucking made you feel a wreck, bro.
I think they had one of those lavender air things in the bathroom.
And I'm not making fun of subway employees.
I always tell me that the fucking, my biggest fear is when you walk into subway, like who I thought I was going to turn out to be?
Honest to God.
And I didn't want this.
You ever going to subway and everybody's 22?
But then there's one guy that's 50 with a pony town.
That was you?
And he's got an earring and he's still cool.
Like he's still fighting the fucking cool.
It don't matter that he's.
He lives in an apartment where they dudes
And when he got home the other night
They were listening to Aqualong
And it doesn't matter
What matters is that he went to see
Guns and Roses
You know, two weeks ago
Right
This is what's going on
He's living his life
Yeah, he's living his life
But he didn't really look at the other part of your life
He didn't look at it ladder
When life moves fucking fast
And you're still talking about some fucking band
When everybody else you're rage
Is growing up
Is growing the fuck up
You know
It's kind of a weird
I was always scared to be that guy.
That petrified me, Lee.
Well, I mean, don't you think it would take, like,
a very specific kind of person to be, like,
be a stripper and not get affected by it?
Because you're talking, like, oh, it would be great.
Two out of fucking ten.
Right.
The percentages.
Two out of ten, if you make an educated guess.
Yeah.
I went to a strip club a year ago, nine months ago.
I get bored.
I'm like any other fucking guy.
Yeah.
I'm home one night.
It's 10, 15.
Everybody's fucking sleeping.
Yeah.
Everybody's asleep in my house at 10-15.
Like, out.
Yeah, I can't even fucking pudge somebody.
I tried to wake my wife up to give me the tin, the pin to iTunes
so I could order the fucking phone.
She told me to go fuck myself.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody's out in my fucking house at fucking 10-15.
Yeah.
So I go, let me go to yum yum donuts.
Then you're a fat fuck.
You're just sitting at a donut stand waiting for the world.
By yourself.
Yeah, I said, fuck it.
They got a lot of homo trans-dressed item.
If you stay on Kofax and go up to, like, victory and make a left,
There's a strip club.
And I went in there, and I made an opposite of it.
You know, you're just sitting there looking at pussy and tits, and it's phenomenal.
I'm not going to say that you, I didn't like it, or it was dirty.
Yeah.
First off, the strip club is always empty.
Yeah.
I mean, you can't believe how empty it is, like bone dry, like there's four fucking guys sitting there drinking water because it's new to eat water.
Like they're showing photos of people that were in there earlier in the day.
That's how I can empty.
You missed it.
There was four people.
on you. And you know, you talk to
different girls. There was one girl I talked to her
boyfriend comes to comedy shows. She comes with them
all the time. Oh, wow. And there was another
girl that her boyfriend was a fucking fan of the
podcast. And, you know,
you have all these girls that are in there that
talk to you. Yeah. And I looked at them
and I'm like, look at that girl. She's 18.
There was one girl. I was 20.
You know, I'd give her the whole bank
account. Yeah. You know, you look at her
and go, you give it a whole bank
account. Like, listen, just come home with me, go get your clothes.
I'm going to throw my wife out when we get home.
Yeah, I'm sure, and for some dudes, they would do that.
And they would do that. And then you have the girls with a 42, man.
Yeah. They're out there banging it. They're eating grapefruit juice and jumping and
fucking, you know, and you got to give them a heart. Like, you sit there and go, I know what
she's going through. Yeah.
I don't want to pick the 20-year-old because she's going to feel bad. But if I pick the
20-year-old, the 20-year-old will glob all over you and suck your sperm. She doesn't
know that there's HIV out there.
and clemenia of the mouth and shit.
Yeah, she's still thinking she could, you know.
Well, the 40-year-old gives you hand wipes
because she knows you're going to finger her
and she doesn't want the leftover salt from the pretz
or you had two hours earlier.
It's just really weird, bro, when you deal with,
when they become a professional.
Yeah.
Like, have you ever bumped into a professional stripper?
Yeah.
It's a different game.
It's a different game, brother.
It's like staying at comedy for a certain period of time.
It's like, there's a certain day.
Yeah, there's a certain day.
When you're like, you realize, oh,
Oh, I know what you're doing.
And I'm in here.
This is what I'm going to do.
And when you deal with a professional stripper, you go in there, dog.
She takes you into the first room first.
She'll give you a couple whips of her monkey.
She won't let you touch it.
Then she'll take you upstairs, bang you out for the small four bills.
And that's where she becomes a nun.
Yeah.
And you're like, what the fuck happens?
She sold you.
Yeah.
She ain't a stripper no more.
She's a saleswoman now.
Yeah.
You want to fucking suck?
That's $2,000 for this fucking piece of ass.
Yeah.
You want to look at me?
$2,000, motherfucker.
$2,000, they look at you with a straight friend.
You know what?
You want to smell my asshole and fucking eat a yogurt at the same time?
They're not going to fuck 11 guys no more.
That's $3,000.
They're going to fuck fucking six guys for $1,000.
Yeah.
And make $12,000 a week.
So, wait.
So I've even thought about it that.
If you pay whatever that is $2,500, that's not the whole night.
That's like one round, I guess.
Oh, you can negotiate whatever they fuck.
you want. Okay, thank God.
Dude, what about fucking just somebody regular
and tipping them after? Is that crazy you think?
Like, if it's just a girl you met?
They get insulted.
Yeah. I could see you telling the girl, listen, man, I'm going to go out of
town on Thursday. I didn't know this
was going to happen. Had a great time.
Can you get $200 an hour? I'm going to leave it there for you,
for you do your toes. Yeah.
Nails and get yourself lunch at your girlfriend, you know?
Yeah, that's a way to do it. It's how you
fucking do it. You know, it's not
making them feel like a fucking hooker.
Yeah.
But you can't fuck yeah you know it's like right now Harvey Weinstein's getting in trouble for all this shit and and
Yeah, he's a pig, but you got to met this a there's a thousand guys out there I used to date a girl bro. That was a stripper
Mm-hmm and after a year or two I accepted what she did and I used to just talk to her sometimes and by talking to her
It really showed me how pathetic men were
Mm-hmm because not even in my deepest darkest moment
would I do something like that?
Yeah.
You know, yeah, I like fucking getting your dick sucked.
Everybody does.
Everybody likes to bump into somebody
and let you leave your monkey.
Yeah.
Fucking leak out on somebody's car seat.
Especially as a comedian, but to walk into a strip club right out
and this is what they do every week.
This is their freak.
And I tell people all the time that you're married.
So you have these boundaries.
Yeah.
And then you present yourself with personal boundaries.
And you go, you know what?
I got a wife.
I got a kid.
I got a daughter.
I got to go home.
now for fucking hours my wife don't bang me like she used to she don't let me coming a
hair no more all those days are done yeah
