Starting point is 00:00:02 Kick this motherfucker, Neil Lee. What's happening, beautiful people. Uncle Joey here with Cato, aka Lee Syatt, for another fun-filled episode of the church of what's happening in now New Testament. It's St. Patty's Day.
Starting point is 00:00:16 I forgot my green. I'm gonna wear it, though, later on when I go out and lurk and see what's going on in my fucking town. Happy St. Patty's Day, cock-suck. Same to you. Dude, I'm such a loser. I never once, like, went out to,
Starting point is 00:00:28 like, there's a whole big parade in Boston, green beer. You never did any of that? One time. That's it. One time. I don't hear no fucking bagpipes. I'm too old for that shit.
Starting point is 00:00:39 They come in with the dress. Enough. Just give me the fucking that Irish. They don't give a fuck. Just give me the beer. Give me the whiskey. Let's get fucked up. When I lived in Boston, they fuck, they don't, like there were bars on the street.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Oh, no, I lived on that open in the morning. They open at six in the morning. Tomorrow, all those bars in the city, those old-time bars, they'll be open at six. Oh. Fucking giving corn beef and cabbage. And fucking. That's the. way to do it. I don't know nothing else. These new Gentiles celebrate at night, six in the morning.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Oh, I can't imagine taking a shot of whiskey. The cabbage is out. The fucking bagpipe is out, but he's got to wait for a eat. Then he can play all the bagpipe he wants when I'm outside, you know what I'm saying. Do you put butter on the cabbage? I don't fucking know, Lee. Come on, Lee. I'm in a bar. Would you put butter from a bar on a cabbage? I don't know. I wouldn't put it. I don't put nothing on cabbage, Lee. I try to get rid of it. And I eat the corn beef. You know what I'm saying? The fuck is wrong with you. So you're a corned. More beef and cabbages is corn beef? Yeah, I don't do a fuck.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I put a little slice. It's a sandwich. It's a little slice for flavor. I'm not going to eat a whole thing of fucking corned beef. Like bok choy, they give me that whole thing. Fuck you. I'm not eating that shit. It's too much waste.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Why is it waste? Because you're burning up good stomach fucking space. With fucking cabbage. I don't like cabbage. No. No. I don't like none of that shit. Why do you always get me all fired up?
Starting point is 00:01:57 I'm trying to. Who puts butter? That's the way my mom made it. Yeah. That's the way my mom made it. Yeah. That's good. The Jewish one making corned.
Starting point is 00:02:02 beef and cabbage. That's how they did in Auschwitz. We don't do it that way here, cucksucker. Oh, yeah, there's no bread in Auschwitz. It's just cabbage and butter. A lot of lighters. A lot of matches. I don't know people know what yesterday was, really.
Starting point is 00:02:23 No, it was the 14th. Well, the 14th was for me when they canceled my fucking plane ticket and said I couldn't come to New York. But pretty much, today, is the anniversary of pandemic. Five years ago, the 15th. I got canceled on the 14th, the 15th, the 16th, the 17th was a Monday six years ago. And I was coming in that Monday to shoot.
Starting point is 00:02:46 And then Tuesday and Wednesday to buy a house. Then I was going to come back April 4th. And my wife was going to buy it. I can't buy the house. I was going to look at a house, you know. I would love to see you go through the process of buying a house. Just on the papers. I have a hard time going to the doctor when he asked you.
Starting point is 00:03:02 all those questions. What about when they, because I know that I get the text, like fill out this paperwork before you come in. I'm not doing it. I don't do it. I skip the, I skip the fucking thing. Yeah. They skip, keep skipping.
Starting point is 00:03:16 They'll keep hitting me back. Put your insurance card in. Put your ID and fuck you. I'll see you at 10.15. I'll be there 15 minutes early. And then when they give me the paperwork, I go, I forgot my glass. I always find a way to get. out of that shit. Then you go through a process where you have to sit in, you know, you do
Starting point is 00:03:36 the weight, the fucking thing. And then they ask you all over them. Are you still on all these medications? Shoot it. Bro, they got medication on there from 2010. And I got, and I'm like, listen, I tell them in the beginning, listen, I don't mean to be rude or interrupt you. But before you ask me another question, if you don't see my wife standing there, don't ask those type of question. It's not going to work. If you want to call her at work, and she'll talk to you all day long. But I'm not going to sit here with you and go through every. I don't even know what I take.
Starting point is 00:04:07 My wife does all that shit. She puts in one of those pill things. I got up in a morning. It's a handful. I put two more in. I drink my water. And after I eat, I drink the juice with the, you know. She must really like you'd be really easy to poison you.
Starting point is 00:04:21 She could kill me at any time. She could kill me at night, put a fucking cotton ball on my sleep apnea. She could do a thousand fucking things. And nobody's know nothing. I'm an idiot. I don't care. She could make me drink that thing that Chan Michael Vincent made Charles Bronson drink in the mechanic.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Oh, no. And they coated in the wine glass makes you appear like you get a heart attack on the... That's a very good movie. That's a good move right there. She can kill me how the fuck she wants. Who gives? She's not going to kill me. If anybody, I'd kill her.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Fuck that Indian. I got to put a time by her through her heart to kill her. That's an Indian. That's a real Indian. That's a real, real Indian. When I met her grandfather, I was like in a mother's father. He looks like an alien. He was an Indian.
Starting point is 00:05:11 And he mumbled, oh. He did that mumble and that Indians do. But that motherfucker was cool as shit. He was, he was like 80. He was telling me, listen, I ain't racist. Like, when he took me aside, he was like, I'm not racist. He goes, I love black women. These fucking idiots don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:30 He goes, if it was up to me, I'd fuck the shit out of Aunt Esther. because she had nice legs. Who's Aunt Esther? Don't look at a Jewish lady. No, Ann Esther's the black chick from a fucking Sanford and son that he would call ugly. He would call her ugly in every episode. And Esther, I brought you something. What?
Starting point is 00:05:48 A cellophane mask. A cellophane. You could use it as a Halloween mask. You say shit to her constantly. Esther, where's your goat? What goat? You know, and they just beat up on it. Was it his wife?
Starting point is 00:06:02 I haven't seen it. No, I was like his sister-in-law. Oh, his sister. Oh, my God. But yeah, he always saw his tummy end. And Esther got the best fucking legs I saw her in a cabaret in 1884. She fucking was beautiful. My gramps, you're an Indian.
Starting point is 00:06:17 You like the dark skin. He got away from that shit. You know what I have to be honest. I've never done like a 23 in me, but I love to find out of them. We've been doing a lot of shows at casinos. Like these Native American, like the ones who own casinos, and they just get paid every year just because they're part of the tribe
Starting point is 00:06:34 that owns casinos. That is the dream. Six figures. I just got to figure out what the percentage is, the legal percentage. But all Cubans are part of Tiano Indians. We all come from Indians
Starting point is 00:06:46 and won't bear another. I don't think I do. Somebody fucking India, like Paul Mooney said, if you shake your family tree, an Indian will fall out of it. Somebody will fall out of your family tree. Oh, I'd love that to just get paid.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I loved, I married my wife pretty much because of her grandfell. because I've always had a fascination about American Indians. Yeah. Always. When I was a kid that's all I watched, those stupid fucking movies,
Starting point is 00:07:11 that's why you should watch those westerns. Yeah. Because I loved all that. I didn't like them beating up on them. I don't like those movies when they beat up on Indians. I like when the Indians got a little spunk to them, like White Comanche or...
Starting point is 00:07:22 Oh, yeah. Yeah, like, you know, they shoot an arrow, they got you. Can you imagine that? Just bow and an arrow and going up against armies, killing Buffalo? You ever watch 18, 12, all those shows about...
Starting point is 00:07:35 No, I should. Very interesting. Very interesting. Even as a TV show, just to see what they were going through, how people ended up in Montana, how people ended up in California. You know, it's going to be a cold winter, so we might as well sit here,
Starting point is 00:07:51 and then you grow crops, and there you are. And who helped you? A fucking Indian. Yeah. An Indian either helped you or hurt you. So you started sharing with them. that's how this was built and it's pretty interesting
Starting point is 00:08:02 next time he's in town I'll let it I didn't know you liked Indians my cousin is like a professor at George Washington only he's written like tons of books about and he goes and like goes and reads like the papers they had
Starting point is 00:08:14 it's pretty like it's just how fucking interesting as an Indian and they were loyal people but you couldn't fuck with them they're very loyal and humble and honorable but they came a time where they fuck you up
Starting point is 00:08:28 when they started fucking people up. Why do you think all these trackers are Indian in the fucking U.S. services? Yeah. They had entire like groups of them. Groups of them. These guys could have humped.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Like they put their ear on the ground. That's a joke. But it's not. That's why it's funny. They put their ear on the ground and go, Buffalo. And you're like, what the fuck just happened? Do you? I, like, whenever I see stuff like that and I know, but I like, I went into like one
Starting point is 00:08:58 of like the wigwams, whatever. I don't know what they call it in this one. But I just, whenever I'm sitting in there, I'm like, how do you sleep in here with no air conditioning? I can't imagine. How do you sleep in there with no refrigerator? You know what I'm saying? I don't know how they did.
Starting point is 00:09:10 That's a tougher thing. Can you imagine you want a piece of chicken? You got to walk a half a mile and kill it and bring it back? No. Think about that. Running with no shoes. And when you all came from that? Like, that fainting thing I have for years that I fainted.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I fucking went to get professional out on that. Like, I couldn't deal with it. The blood thing? Yeah, because I, At that time, I was, I faint. I have this thing that I faint. If my stomach feels a little sour, I'll fucking faint. Like if my stomach is, my blood pressure dropped.
Starting point is 00:09:42 What about in fucking, hilarious. Usually I know what story's coming. I have no idea what's coming. So the other night we're in fucking, Connecticut. We go in an night earlier. It was a half-hour flight like doctors. we get there. We start gam.
Starting point is 00:10:03 I knew we were going to lose. Just the feeling wasn't in the air. Nick, everything all right on the phone? The world is coming all right. I didn't know if the world was changing. They fucking, they strapped the satellite. You got me all nervous. It better be a woman sucking cock or something interesting.
Starting point is 00:10:21 It's a Native American. So we start eating edibles on the fucking playing me, Lee, George, Nick, everybody. I was when we get there, and I go, Lee, you want to have? Happy pill. Now a happy pill used to be a Vicodin. But I don't want to eat a Vicodin. So I gave Lee a half a muscle relaxer. And I took like two. Is that what that was? And Lee kept saying, oh, this thing is making me sweat.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Oh, I was sweating like a pig. You were sweating because you were losing. That's why. Oh. You weren't sweating because of the muscle relaxing. I don't know what. Dude, the same thing. The fucking pain pills don't do nothing for me. The muscle relaxers at least give me something.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Peace of mind. Like now it's not getting stressed. I take those fucking pain pills. My stomach hurts. I took one like three weeks ago. My fucking, I do them. Like, you know what? This would be nice.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I could go to, because if somebody gives it to me, I'll save him for PT. Because a PT, that motherfucker opens it up. The muscle relaxers? No, he opens up the pain.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Oh, he'll, okay. Yeah, that's what you go there for to push it as much as you can. Oh. So when I leave there, I take a half. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:25 That's all I need is a half. Even though I'm a big guy, you feel a half, okay? If I mix it with motrin, it's even better, an 800 milligram mochran. But those, then they gave me these muscle relaxes. When the guy was giving to me, I'm like, really? A fucking muscle relaxer for knee pain?
Starting point is 00:11:43 He goes, well, he'll take down the inflammation and do all this shit. So whenever I feel a little bit coming now, I just pop one of those, man. And I feel a lot better than eating one of those fucking pain pills. Do you know which pill you're taking or do you just like have a pouch and you just throw a couple in your mouth? Like, I don't feel like you can actually know what's- I live by sound. All right. There's a big draw that sits in that draw, right next to me.
Starting point is 00:12:06 There's weed underneath it. Everything I have to do with weed is underneath that. Edibles, there's weed in there that's so fucking old. I don't even know what it is. Like, I just put it in a jar and didn't, I was too high, I didn't label, and now it's just old. You kind of get scared to smoke it because you're like, but every once in a while I run out of weed,
Starting point is 00:12:24 and I'll smoke it like two weeks ago. I smoked something. It was a little orange bud. was orange? I was plopped up. My eyes wouldn't fucking open. I had to wear sunglasses. I couldn't see.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Are you sure it was weed? Huh? Are you sure it was weed? Who cares? That's why I have that draw. You smoked a cheese bowl? It's everything in that drawer is mushroom, but I threw the mushrooms. I haven't eaten the mushroom.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Every time I got them, they taste like shit in Jersey. They grow them somewhere in fucking fucking, fucking peck-sock. No, no, no. You used to yell me for years for saying about the shit. And they all taste like shit. No, the ones I was getting from California. mean, Bobby. No, no mushroom's clean.
Starting point is 00:13:01 They all taste like garbage. I would go to fucking a pizza place and just get a two slices and just fucking put mushrooms right in front of the pizza part. The guy's like, look at them. Like, what, you should have baked them in. I'm going to those type of mushrooms, Nikki. And I put them in and I'd fold it and eat fucking, it would be like a half-hounder mushrooms from California. I was going off last year, off by myself down there alone, driving around at night in the back country and see you. How many grams is an ounce?
Starting point is 00:13:29 24? What? You were eating 14 grams? Dog. I would eat like three or four and nothing would happen. I get pissed because I put like a system. But at that time, I had four pounds in the house. I had a little bit of eat, so I would alternate them and give some away.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Alternate them. You always got to alternate shit. So I was taking the pig legs, the Cuban-African, you know, I had like four different ones. And you just mix and mingle. and then my, I ate like seven one night because I was weighing him. I ate like seven one night.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I'm like, I'm gonna die tonight. I'm excited about dying. I'm taking the new car with me and everything. And fucking like a half thing, I saw one thing. So I go, I got to start this with 10.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And I started to start with 10. And then towards the end, I was just putting 14 and going to a pizza place and getting a pizza. That's why I was 332. when I went into the hospital last January. I'm like 50 pounds lighter now. Really?
Starting point is 00:14:31 Because of that whole mushroom. How often were you doing this? Every day. When you live down by me, it's boring. But now I learned how to adjust the boring. It took me time because I know that I'm going to be bored no matter where I go. If I go to Vegas, I'm going to be bored. I'm just that type of guy.
Starting point is 00:14:50 If you guys aren't around and I don't gamble, you see I'm not going to stay out all night and gamble. I'd rather go to the room. and something's on TNT, or you read something on the computer, you're interested in on Google, you Google a topic. Dude, for people who don't know, like, most people take, like, two, three grams, and they're, like, lean outer space.
Starting point is 00:15:10 What are you talking about? 14 grams? Plus, oh. Towards the end, I was eating 14 fucking grams on one shot on two slices of cheese pizza. Is your tolerance ever so good that you're like, I need to take a break? Like, this...
Starting point is 00:15:24 Well, that's why I took a break from the mushroom. It's just a tame. I just didn't want to do them on him anymore. I got two of his acid. I'm holding on for me and you for a next big casino run. Oh, Jesus. So you want me to get kicked out of another casino? I'm going to give you 500 cash to take it
Starting point is 00:15:41 because we're going to sit together and learn how to play poker on acid and document it. That's how you learn to do things. Anybody can go down there and fucking... The numbers are going to start flying off the card. You're like, I have no idea. I got three kings, no, you know. They're talking.
Starting point is 00:15:55 I saw king. I told you there was a king in that fucking thing. Oh, what if we're really good at it on acid? And we keep doing it. You're better at all that shit if you're hot. You don't even realize that you think I'm teasing you. Doug, I've been looking at people for 50 fucking years on reefing. That's what I do.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I have guinea pigs. You're one of them. And I know that when you're up tight, nothing falls right for you. And then something happens and it triggers like an old memory. he's got that. He starts making Jew noises. You haven't been making Jew noises in a while. Why?
Starting point is 00:16:31 Ah. You created and cured the Jew noises? I created it. You created it and cured it. Yeah, we got, I love you guys, and I'll play Blackjack with you guys forever, but it's, there's certain nights where we go, it's like, okay, let's find the $15 table. Because we played so bad that the dealer started talking shit to us. We played so bad.
Starting point is 00:16:52 We played so bad. We were making moves, and the dealer went, wow like not hitting on 15 someone I don't want to throw anyone under the bus like it was the 13 and they stayed against like an 8
Starting point is 00:17:06 it wasn't well you did some oh yeah she was having a hard time with you she just kept looking at you going they were they and the dealers trying to help you Joe thought it was bingo and shit all of us we were looking
Starting point is 00:17:18 we got so high in the play we were just looking at the numbers like I don't you like and by the way and I love you and you're really you're so good at numbers, but put like three or four cards in front of you. You start looking around.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Like, can't do that. I know I have to be looking at her hand. And I don't know what I'm actually looking for. So I'm just playing by listening, guys. I'm not going down to make a living. I'm not going down to impress anybody. We don't put care. I'm just going down there to fucking enjoy something.
Starting point is 00:17:49 You know what? We dump in about three weeks, we're going to be paying $20 a gallon. So before that happens, I might as well lose $200 at Blackjack. I'm not going to go home. When you get on route, you know, I'm sitting there the other day pulling those stupid fucking draft kings, not the draft kings, the Wheel of Fortune. And I'm sitting there and I'm, you know, wisdom is a motherfucker. Okay?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Wisdom is a motherfucker. Experience, age, you know, trauma, all that shit's a motherfucker. But you're sitting there and now at this age. I know. I'm going to give them the $20. There's no, this is going to pay my row and skate lessons with. I'm going to pay rent with this.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I'm going to pay for college. I'm going to come down here and hit the big thing. I eliminated all that. I know I'm going to give them $200. Yeah. If I'm having a really good time, I'll walk to the ATM and take another two out. But that's going to be it.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Because I know what I got to do for those $400 and those $300. I got to put up with this fucking go-goots. two days a week. No, I'm just telling you the truth. That's why I did cocaine all those years, because I wanted something. I wanted somebody to come over me, their pussy, or hook him in the eye, whatever the fuck. You know, I always said that's what I want to spend my money. That's just me. Right now at this part of my life, when you gamble and you lose like two or three grand one time, it makes you rethink your fucking, whether you're a millionaire or not, whether you're just a regular a joke because that's when you lose 3,000
Starting point is 00:19:23 when you're a regular Joe because you actually think, I'm going to buy my girlfriend a fucking engagement ring and they set you up perfectly. Listen, life has a way of setting you up and it's all the same setup. When you do Coke the first three times, how great is it? You think
Starting point is 00:19:39 fucking, God forbid somebody sucks your dick. You'll never come down from that. When you smoke pot for first three times, it's fucking great. When you gamble, there's not a motherfucker. There's not a motherfucker. The first time he gambled, he didn't win.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Yep. Just the universe. That's the night you're going to have black 360. Do you know when you put the... Rolette? The nickel slot next to the 25. And if you get three-sevens, you win like $2,000 or $250,000. That's the night you hit that.
Starting point is 00:20:11 That mother... What do you think he's going to do with that $250,000? Yeah. He's going to wait a week, listen to all the advice. You... And Amazon. You know... invest in buttons, you know.
Starting point is 00:20:23 He's going to think about it. He's going to get two beers and go, if I could do that one time or do that again. Oh, yeah. Both. That's all of us. That's humanity. That's not just...
Starting point is 00:20:33 Dude, I started watching videos of how to count cards and blackjack and, like, it looks good, and then you get to that... You don't say that shit on tape. Crank call, crank call. He's under the influence. Anyway, you can't. It goes so fucking fast.
Starting point is 00:20:44 But it's the same... And they catch you right away. It's the same jungle. How does a girl get you? How does a girl get you? Two, three dates, you go out, yeah, you giggle. One night you swap spit, and the next night you put it in there. And now you don't want to leave the house for three days.
Starting point is 00:21:00 You're looking at a petting. You know, I don't need to go to work. You're like a fucking fact. That's all of us. Every women flip it. It's the same thing for women. It's just not for everybody. We all get caught in the same traps in life.
Starting point is 00:21:17 But after you've gotten caught 80 times. No, but it's like one day you figure it out I can't believe at 18, me and a bunch of idiots at Joe Marys thought we had the system. You got nothing. You're a fucking idiot. You got the system. Wait till what they got for you.
Starting point is 00:21:38 That's when you start losing by four and a half and you lose by four. All those games when you start, you give seven and a half, you lose by seven. And it's rent money. This is, I have to borrow money. You know, now you're cracking into a fucking, your grandmother's fucking, Yeah, save, whatever, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:55 That's the thing and that's everything, guys. That's just not gambling. It's weed, it's pussy, it's men, it's women, it's every drug, alcohol. First two times you drink, you have a great time. Go do that at the third night. And now you're like, yeah, I'll drink New Year. One of those things are you drinking when you're 19th? I'll drink high teas.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah, you drink like three or four of them either half a quailute. And you wake up in your friend's garage with puke all over here the next morning thinking that. And where's that girl I was dancing? Bro, you puked down the last night. What the fuck? What do you mean I puked?
Starting point is 00:22:29 Everything is the same. So now you see the traps. When we go down there, listen, I don't know what you get in your day job, whatever. You got 200 you can lose. Everybody does. After 200, you're like, what am I doing with my life? You know what?
Starting point is 00:22:45 My friends are here. It's a bats a party. It's George's 65. It's Nicky's dirty. Let me go get two more hundred. I've got 200 gone. Then we start doing coke. Okay?
Starting point is 00:22:55 The next investment is in the Colombian. I'm not that I'm going to do coke, but that's how my mind used to be. Oh, yeah. When I was doing coke, there was no $20 table. I never sat. It was either a Coke or Wheel of Fortune. Wheel of Fortune go fuck itself. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Dude, there's no better feeling than winning, but losing money. I, dude, you remember right in L.A. I won the first time I went to Vegas. I went back. I thought I was like a professional gambler. And I just remember walking down the strip, throwing away the loyalty cards that I got from the casinos. Because like, oh, I went and I had a room for like three nights.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I left the first night. That was all. Yeah, I remember that. I remember one night we went and we actually played and we were winning. You were winning. I staked you. And all of a sudden a Japanese guy's, and bought you to move, you didn't move, and you lost it all.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And you went, you left, that was the problem. See, that's when you were, that's when I saw that the Jew problem with you, that you left, you weren't upset, but you left. It mangled you a little bit. If you would have been high that night, you would have stayed and said, Joe, get the fuck out of here. I got a system. I'm going to go over there by myself.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I'm getting away from all you motherfuckers. If you were high that night, you would have done that. You would have said, I'm going back to my room after we want to be going on to the seafood bar and ate those big shrimp. Oh, yeah. We're going back to the room and then the next morning, I was your nightly. It took a nap. I went back down at 2 in the morning and I won't 800.
Starting point is 00:24:27 That would be great. Yeah, that's where he always always. I knew he was going to get up in the middle of night. You have to. That's the best time to go gambling because no one else is down there. Oh, it's because when it's busy, you get fucked up. People don't hit with us. And that's, because I started gambling in L.A.
Starting point is 00:24:44 with like in like the not good areas where it's like just it's people who go there to make money and if you fuck up their table they'll fucking yell you like they'll yeah and like it's it's it's it's not like I go there you go there to have fun but there's a lot of people who have these casinos who are not there for fun no that's what I said some people when you're young and stupid you think you're actually going to go there and make a business venture you actually tell your friends you're going to invest in a wheat store I'm going to invest half a million you're like in the back yeah, I'm going to go play blackjack. You're not going to do dick.
Starting point is 00:25:17 You're not going to do dick. I want to talk to you guys about something. Okay. I want you to think about how are you motherfuckers. You met home how you guys felt six years ago. Like a week after this happened six years ago, how did you feel? Like, you thought it was over. There was people calling me.
Starting point is 00:25:35 I don't know how I don't pay my rent. I don't know how I'm going to pay car payments. I know how I'm going to do this. We were fucking sweating bullets. And guess what? Look at this now. What the fuck was this all about? One of the greatest compliments I got with you was when I moved here to Jersey, I went to a restaurant one night.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I was like my neighbors, and they had no idea about fucking the church or what's happening now or nothing. We all went out together, and there were young busboys, and these kids were going nuts. God bless him. They brought everything to the fucking table, you know. Pop-p-pum, they brought everything. Then the chef came out. And he did this and he goes, can I talk to you for a minute? And he goes, hey, man, you and Lee did during the podcast, you eat here for free from now.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I never got this free food. I'm teasing. I haven't taken you there because it's a good restaurant, but it's not the one we usually think of. Right. They have two restaurants. We go to their other restaurant. Gotcha. And he goes, this is why you always eat for free here.
Starting point is 00:26:40 He goes, I'm not talking to myself. He goes, I would talk to people that night because that's all they had to do. do was listen to the podcast. That was it. And the podcast girl got like two months, you know, two months away, that's when everybody started getting accused, eating somebody's ass eight years ago, putting a roofie of my drink two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:26:58 That was all the fucking... Think about this shit. Think about what we were looking at two weeks after the pandemic. You were fucking panicking. You couldn't go anywhere. The only places that were open were Chinese casinos in L.A. and a stay 10 feet apart. Those motherfuckers were still down there.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And I know OTB was probably open. They're called serviceable businesses. People have to live without them or whatever. In California, like when you bought weed, it was expensive because you had to pay the tax rate. For them to stay open, California said, we're open you up. We want 25 points. War.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Really? And all those weed stores went into debt. Oh, in taxes. All those weed stores. Because they were fucking making. money, but they were paying instead of whatever. They were paying 25% tax. They're paying 50% tax.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I didn't know that. I just financed Uber Eats. They were called something to stay alive, like barbershops, essential services, but their tax rates went up. I don't know if it happened here in Jersey. We'll find out. But it was really interesting how I felt. I mean...
Starting point is 00:28:10 I don't know of being scared at the beginning. Huh? couple weeks like we thought it was going to be over soon. I remember that. But you were not, I'm not talking shit about, but you were always a little bit nervous about it. I was overweight. I was not in shape.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I was smoking. I had personal problems. I had drug problems. A lot of things going on me. I had a fucking daughter that was seven. I'm going to die. Some motherfucker hugging me or breathing on me or me going to a sport. sporting event. I got to tell you, man, I'm the first guy to tell you guys.
Starting point is 00:28:49 The bigger the man, the bigger the mistake. It fucked me up. Fucked me up for two to three years. I came here. I was without you for a year. You had no idea what I was going to. I couldn't even make eye contact. Couldn't even make eye contact. I told you, Ari came to my house, and I couldn't wait for him to leave. He wanted me to go eat at the Chinese restaurant. I'm like, I'm not fucking at that. Listen, it wasn't even the Chinese thing for me. I just didn't want to be in a restaurant that time. No, I called you the first time I saw a restaurant with people in it. It was creepy. It was creepy. It was scary. You called me from Florida and said you walked into a place with 300 people. He goes,
Starting point is 00:29:29 show you. I had to step outside. I didn't know what the fuck is. I hadn't seen anybody like that for months. Dude, L.A. was a little bit scarier, I think, than some other places because, like, we would line up. I was going to a Walmart in the West Valley. Like, I found a Walmart like 40 minutes away. Because like Gelson's or Ralph's by us, there were lines out the door. And you'd walk in there and there'd be nothing. There'd be like vegan hot dogs. Like, I bought, I don't even like Velvita mac and cheese. I was bringing your food, though.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I was ordering food from all over the country. I was like, this is the time to mingle. Oh. People were calling me up, hey, you want stakes, call this guy. He said to call you. And then Sickler, we met this last week. He'd wait to see him. He hooked me up with his clam chowder guy.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I was sending that guy $200. That motherfucker was sent. Crave cakes or clams? I think it was a crab cakes. Cray. Crap cakes. Fucking. It never ended. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:25 I was getting steaks sent to the house. Then I found out that Morton's, the steakhouse by a house, was not serving, but they were selling everything to. You could not, they couldn't cook it. The groceries, yeah, yeah. But they turned into a grocery store. I started going over there and buying steaks,
Starting point is 00:30:41 and they were like so grateful. Like, I was eating steaks every day just to help people. Like I was like, fuck it. How could this be that my favorite steakhouse with the bread? Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. It's not open. Like, I couldn't even fan them.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Did I ever tell you what I did with Domino's? I was fucking up Domino's because they had, buy three for five dollars each. I'd buy like six pizzas and put them in a zip lock bags and put them in the freezer. Like every day I would just have a pepperoni. Because like I was fat, hot. And we, you would bring food, but you'd also bring edibles. Like, you would just be like, be downstairs in two minutes.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Dog, every, like for a week, I had weed and edibles. Because I always had boxes of the tablets. But then the weed store open. He called me. And he's like, hey, man, we're open. Come through the side door and shit. We got everything. I'm like, all right.
Starting point is 00:31:37 You had to wear a mask. You had to go in there and fucking. Then this fucking lunatic showed up in July. That's a lie. You want me to go to talk to a motherfucker that just, came from the East Coast where COVID was invented. At the studio. I'm like, you're fucking out of your mind. And he's out there breathing, taking edibles, going to Beverly Hills.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I'm like, Doug, don't call you no more. What the fuck? I want to talk to nobody that just came from New York. Nobody. Yeah. Like, it was not good. I would have to be home at, I don't know, I had two times a day. I would sit there and guys fucking watch eyewitness news and just
Starting point is 00:32:16 eat Zadix because my heart was beating out of my chest. Why would you watch the news? If the news was upsetting you, why would you watch it? Because guess what? There was nothing else to watch. There's a thousand things, Tiger King. There was nothing, Tiger King. I wasn't watching that shit.
Starting point is 00:32:33 No, you don't like the gay guy wrestling with Tiger Cubs? No, I never even turned that shit on. Things were bad enough. I don't need to add this to my fucking life leave. No reality TV, no thousand pound. Like, oh, that would have been... I was working out in my yard. And then they said, no jiu-jitsu.
Starting point is 00:32:50 But the kickboxing guy goes, I'll train you at the park. So we'd have to kick and shit with a mask on that, yeah. Do push-ups and punch and shit. That was brutal. Plus, you just, you were just scared. So my cardio was bad as it was from my anxiety being. I can't breathe. That's what happens.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I got a lot of anxiety. I ended up in the fucking hospital because I can't breathe. But meanwhile, 14 grams of, and mushrooms, you're perfectly fine. The first time they found mushroom dust in my lungs. You have like plantations of trees and something like bros out there. And I'm like, smell me. It's marijuana coming out of my fucking pores.
Starting point is 00:33:29 You know, I've been in here for six days. That shit's all the way at the top. Holy shit. Yeah. But like now I kind of, I don't want like a pandemic, obviously, but I wish we had like one of those weeks. I don't want Listen, I want people at work
Starting point is 00:33:47 I want people out of house I want people healthy And that's it I don't ever want one of those things again Not my lifetime Not my daughter's lifetime When you look at it now A couple weeks ago we had a conversation here
Starting point is 00:34:00 And I made some stupid joke I wasn't kidding you We're watching a play unfold This is all scripted This is all scripted That something was not right here I'm not gonna get into it I'm not conspiracy theorist.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Something was not right here. I don't, the funny thing is, is who knows? There's so many things going on right now. I still remember like, it was the end of the world. Yeah. You can't breathe. You can't. I still remember coming home and they killed a black guy in Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Yeah, that was scary. And all of a sudden it's like, and all of a sudden two weeks later they're taking down statues of people who had slaves. And awesome, right by a house, right by the podcast studio. I was going to say, yeah. Thousands of people, bro. Then a black kid was hot, and he went, and he laid down on the grass,
Starting point is 00:34:51 and the cop approached him. He said he couldn't lay there. And then all of a sudden they called the cops again, but my daughter's day school by daycare. Yeah. Now there was a fucking congregation on that side. And you were looking at this going. And then I would drive my bike.
Starting point is 00:35:08 I would ride my bike. That was my exercise. I would just ride my bike around Holly. Hollywood Park, North Hollywood Park. Ride it, right it, right it. Everybody had a mask on, I finally took it off. And then one day, I actually, I'm there every day, guys. And I'm stoned.
Starting point is 00:35:24 And I'm on a bike, and I'm old. So I'm watching. I'm not doing 90 miles an hour. I'm just going for spins for circulation. I'm like, you know, vote for me type shit. But one day I saw it. I just saw bricks every 10 feet tied by wire. I'm like, come on, man.
Starting point is 00:35:44 This is a fucking movie. All the cancellations, all this. You know, there's a fucking pandemic. I'm not going to get into it. Because we all went through something, but it was just too, it was too much. And on top of what I was going through at home, I just did not want to live in L.A.
Starting point is 00:36:03 No. When the fucking pandemic hit, when they said, we're done until June, I remember going, Terry, this is perfect. This is written from God because we get the fuck out of here now. It's going to be down until September. We're not going to see daylight till September.
Starting point is 00:36:23 So what are we doing? I called the lady. She said, no, blah, blah, we'll find your house in Titten Falls. I called Jimmy Florentine because Jimmy was just on the podcast two months before that. And he was talking about Jersey. And I remember coming back to the sopranos and going, come on, man. That's too much. I've been out there too long.
Starting point is 00:36:46 No, no, no. This is bullshit. I'm going to die out there in an earthquake. Fucking, for something I don't believe in. I went to look at three houses in California, way before that. Before Mercy was born, every house I walked in,
Starting point is 00:37:01 I didn't feel at home. Not even close. I don't know what it is about California when I walked in homes that was supposed to be impressive to me. It made me hate. they're more than home. When you walk into somebody's home on the East Coast,
Starting point is 00:37:17 you're looking at family pictures. You're looking at a carpet that the dog shit on 80 times, but they vacuumed it. They knew you were coming over, you know. There's a saint somewhere. There's this. You go into somebody's house in L.A., they're there to impress you.
Starting point is 00:37:33 There's nothing. There's warmth on the East Coast. There's no warmth in any of us. And you start feeling that. You start, I always saw it. I'm not saying it's a bad place. Maybe it's a bad place. place that I came from here and went there.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Okay, you know. But it's also where you, because there are, like, there's warm house, like, homes in California, but if you go to, like, these nice places, like, when I was in LA, I did a bunch of podcasts for a couple of real estate agents in Beverly Hills. And these houses are worth tens of millions of dollars. But it's, like, they're an investment and, like, it's just very clean and very, like, it's a, you know, it's a, a type of money, half of them. Listen, a buddy of mine, sounds like that.
Starting point is 00:38:12 This is ridiculous. Ridiculous. The most ridiculous thing I ever heard. I asked him how the sale went. They asked 1.8 for it. I know they got more than two. It's a fucking beautiful. He goes, yeah, they paid,
Starting point is 00:38:29 but they put 20% down. They're paying 12,000 a month for 30 years. He goes, but they're billionaires. I go, if they're billionaires, why are they financing seven points of interest? That's a fucking killer. That'll kill you right there. You're never going to get out of that.
Starting point is 00:38:44 You know what 12,000 a month is, dog? A lot of money. A write a check for 12,000. OJ was paying that bitch 24,000 months. Just to put that in perspective. That's like something George would say. He was paying out 24,000. I was waiting for you to say it, but you struck late.
Starting point is 00:39:02 But think about that. I can't imagine. That's a lot of money. 12,000. I never felt at home. That house I lived in, dog. I don't know about it. Listen.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I don't know about it. I'm not here bragging to you guys. I'm just telling you the truth. We got that house through the church. A friend of a friend of a podcast listener heard us talking about moving. And I wanted to move by that school section. Email to Google.
Starting point is 00:39:33 He goes, if you want to come look at the house, we'll give me to you for two years, discounted with an option to buy. I just said, you, Terry, you look at this. You take care of this. My niece came to visit me, Kelly Davidson. And when she pulled up, she goes, you live in a $1.3 million house, Uncle Joey.
Starting point is 00:39:54 I didn't know that. This is a $500,000 house in the church all day long. There ain't nothing nice about this house. Nothing. I knew it was a rental from the time I moved in there. They had in the back room. I mean, it was perfect because it was the only house that had a bathroom with a back door to the yard.
Starting point is 00:40:17 See, if I got that, you could shit all fucking day back there. I would go back there and shit with a bomb, a phone. I would just take my time. Then I would close the door and capture the flies. Oh, my God. I had a plan, but I think that all of us went through fucking hell six years ago. Confused. Some people got checks.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I ain't mad at you. I ain't fucking mad at you. I think I got a little one myself. You know what I'm saying? I ain't mad at you, but think of what they put you through mentally. And you're here today. We're fucking here. Six years later, everybody's rocking and rolling.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Yeah, Iran's getting Israel, you know, whatever. That's got nothing to do with me. Missals and all that shit. That's got nothing to do with me. I'm just telling you what's going on. We're all, listen, I'm 150 fucking percent mentally better. I can tell you this, that there was a couple of times. I had to tell, I'd remind an old friend of mine that the dude you met two years ago,
Starting point is 00:41:23 that was Joey Diaz. That's, ah, yeah, I wanted to do your podcast. That last hospital stay, Coco came out. I can feel it. I can fucking feel it. Coco's back. Nothing I feel like stealing. Not that I feel like robbing a jewelry store or snort and blow or anything.
Starting point is 00:41:43 But Coco's back. And to, I see it on stage. I feel it with you guys. You guys got to see it. You guys got to see it that I'm walking around like they finally took that stick out of my ass. I finally got out of the comedy, communism. That's what I did.
Starting point is 00:42:00 I removed myself completely from the comedy communism. What they want you to believe, they knew they can never sell it to me. They knew they could never sell it to me. They tried. We'll do a show and get an extra crammer to go on your face so people can read the talk. I ain't doing this that long.
Starting point is 00:42:19 This ain't my number one goal. I want to do other things. You're just investing for me to be on the road to the time I turn 65. That doesn't sound lucrative to me. It sounds very lucrative. Not just lucrative. It sounds very lucrative.
Starting point is 00:42:34 But I'm never going to see that kid grow up. And that's what you guys are pushing for. I already lost a kid. I'm not doing this all the money. What I reached now today as a human being or 63. I've never had guys. I've never had.
Starting point is 00:42:49 I'm not talking about anything. I'm talking about how I feel when I wake up in the morning. I don't have to wake up feeling like I got to stab a motherfucker anymore. That's not a good way to wake up every morning, but it is a good way because it got me to where it got me.
Starting point is 00:43:06 And there's one day in your life that you got to go, dog, you got to turn that shit off because you ain't got to know. You ain't that dude. So knock it off. And I accepted it. I was like, that's fine with me. Fine with fucking me.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I got what I got out of fucking Joey Dears. Now it's time to be Coco again. I have a little time, good time. Got arrested, going probation with your 65. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, Basas. Sudo, you know what a lot do you want to break?
Starting point is 00:43:35 There's nothing in common. Nothing that I'm striving for. No, it's not shoplifting. I thought it would be shoplifting. No. I'm going to fuck. The opportunities we've had in life, why shoplift?
Starting point is 00:43:46 That's a bigger. man, we got to do something out of stock fraud, invest in stocks, you know. I don't think they put you on probation for fraud. I think they send you to jail for fraud. Something fun, something that we end up in. Let's make a plan, like, not for you guys. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:01 I want to live like Crazy Yetty, right? Frazy Eni put his cousin through college and got him a job at the IRS so he could learn how to rob the IRS. Only a Jew could do that and fucking look at himself in the mirror and go. I did my mission and shit. Were you going to send mercy to work?
Starting point is 00:44:22 No, I want to do something like that. Maybe become a spy. I've been watching Homeland lately. May I become a fucking spy. I'm just bullshit, you guys. I just, listen, you just, I'm looking at life a lot fucking different than I was. I'm at the point where who gives a fuck?
Starting point is 00:44:42 Who gives a fuck? If you thought like this, said, if I thought the way I feel now at 25, shit. Me and George would have Cocoa and George Framing International. Paris, the village, Akron, Ohio. Yeah, fucking. Only the biggest markets. Come on, dog.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Ivana, Cuba, Panama, you know, that's who it meant out to be. That's who your DNA is. Nobody wants to fucking step up to the pump. And so I just got to. lucky break in life to step up. And now, fuck it. I see it for what it is. The probation, the drugs. I see it now for what it is. I'm like a fucking guru on failure. You know what I'm saying? That's what I am. That's the name of this episode. The guru of failure. I think I think he said the Google failure versus the guru. Google failure and then, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:37 it's a true. And I've enjoyed every one of those failings. I drive around sometimes, Gog, before I almost got into a car accident because I was dayduring you know once I get to North Bergen all bets are all I don't even answer the phone I answer it for you guys tell me there's no parking
Starting point is 00:45:53 you got pork chops or whatever people call all the time I don't answer the phone because once I hit McKinley and I make that right onto Point Pleasant
Starting point is 00:46:06 dog it's like you rob that place remember that place remember that place you made out with this chick here You did this, you know, that's what it is. And it's like, holy fuck. I had some fun.
Starting point is 00:46:21 The failures have turned into fun now? I just drove past 51st. Again, I have a thousand stories I can say, and two million I can't say. Oh, my God. But as I drove past 50 first, I was a shootout down there. Allegedly. That's the name of this episode. Allegedly. There was a shootout down there in 83.
Starting point is 00:46:43 In 84. Like I drive around now and I go, holy shit. Like I saw last week a house that I fell asleep and woke up one day. Like, I don't even know some Italian kid had like a party and I just went home with him. Fuck it. I'm going to sleep at your house, you know. And he put me out in the yard. I don't know what the fuck happened.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I woke up with a pillow, iced tea. Yeah, the mother put it out there. That was like on a little balcony for rain. Oh, my God. I got to know where to go. I must have come home with you. And you just drove by that house? Yeah, and I forgot all about it.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Yeah. And what do you think made this difference? Like, why do you think you feel differently now? Like, you're able to look at the failures so nicely? No, I came back when I moved, first of all. Do you know what I left when I left, North Bergen? Do you have any idea? I left in the middle of the most chaotic time.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Really? Yeah, the Marcos were getting out. There was a shooting by my. house, a cop I knew shot the dude seven times in the back. Self-defense. People were getting beat up. There was gambling. There was a lot of it.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I was thinking about a story the other day. Can't mention no names. But there was only one guy there. There was two guys there that are in my life today. I remember. We were at hash race at that stupid basketball court. We must have been 17. We were juniors.
Starting point is 00:48:14 And we thought we were gangsters. and one of the guys from Corkies used to come into Hashways. Young guy, really good look at Italian. If we were 17, 16, he was about 24. He was up from, like, North Jersey, Paul Lee. The war went on the street was his father was a gangster. He was a big-time bookie for one of the families. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:43 We start talking, we become buddies. Everybody's gambling at that night. If you're a sophomore and up, you're putting 25 times. in every fucking night to watch a nick game five times. $25 to lose win, $30 to lose. I remember because in the eighth grade I was putting those in. We were putting half, $7 parlayes. You know, that's this.
Starting point is 00:49:03 That's what, you know, when you try it, and fucking, I put a bet. The kid said to me at hash raise something, and I put a bet in with him and I won and he paid me. And then, like, I doubled the bet. That bet lost. I lost like 200 bucks Well, when was I going to get 200 bucks
Starting point is 00:49:23 At 1981 when you're 17 So I called him a few times And he's like, hey man, I don't know what to tell you I go, let me give you 100 this week And like 100 next week And I'll give you an extra 50 the week after that Because I actually like the dude I just lost
Starting point is 00:49:39 You know, I'd like the dude I just bet old man And he goes, you gotta have it by Thursday And I'll have what I can for you by Thursday I can guarantee you 100. He goes, well, 100 ain't going to cut that. I'm dog. Somebody from the neighbor.
Starting point is 00:49:56 You got to threaten me? You know, all right, I'll see you Thursday. See you Thursday. We're playing basketball. Thursday comes. We're out there after school, 3.30, 4 o'clock. And a van pulls up, like one of those love vans from the fucking 80s, 70s. And then two other cars pull up.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Two guys got out of one car. Two guys got out. Now, I'm on the basketball. I'm playing and I'm watching the shit and it's all North Bergen kids on the court and it's half like Project Rats like I still remember two of the dudes who were there. Rago and my brother fucking Jackie Wacky Kettle.
Starting point is 00:50:35 All right. And at that age you didn't fuck with Jackie Wacky Kettle. At that age you didn't fuck with anybody around that court because all those motherfuckers had to do is cross the street and get on that phone and you have 300 fucking North Bergen Project people running up there to fuck you up.
Starting point is 00:50:52 And these motherfuck, like the Thomas family, they kill you. There was a bunch of people from that neighbor. Then Randy Mergel, God rest of the soul, these motherfuckers meant business. They were 64-3 field dudes. That's completely different animal back then. You got scared walking through there. Like, that was like Compton.
Starting point is 00:51:11 You needed a writer passage. So I would have to see Raygo, Fernie. I would have to bump into those dudes at Blue Flame. And then I could go into the project. behind Lincoln school. I'd had to pray that one of those motherfuckers was there. The Thomas family, it was like five little guys of blue eyes. One of them got caught on field day, fucking the Indian chick in the bathroom across
Starting point is 00:51:33 and the principals often. The Thomas family. The other one was the first guy ever to go on Boulevard East, mugger, pedophile, take him to his house, tie him up, robbed him and played the piano. He was like somebody's fucking piano. I'm not fucking kidding you. The Thomas family was gangsters. back then. You had the luchies next to veneery. It was a fucking little gangster neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:51:57 So guess who comes out of the van? Two other guys with the dude I owe the money. The money's in my book bag. In those days, we go to the court and play for sandwiches. Like a roast beef sandwich. What do you want to get? I am. All right, I'll play you. And the whole team. And in the middle of the games, the guy comes out with a fucking chain. a dude I owed the $200. A chain and five owe the guys. And the guy kept hitting the fucking fence. We ended the game.
Starting point is 00:52:31 One of those project dudes said, what's this? I go, let me go talk to my own money. And those project dudes are like, this guy's crazy. Stepping up up here like this. This is the North Bergen was Buckwell. Three of those kids' fathers were cops. You know what I'm saying? Like, you come up here fucking around.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Three of those fathers are a cop. one of them works for Mako, one of them works for fucking this guy. You come up here and tango like that and sure enough, those fucking project rats surrounded that guy with the chain. And Mike Runny and James Willano. And they were like, he's gonna give you the money,
Starting point is 00:53:06 but you ain't fucking swinging no chain up here. And the guy thought, the guy thought that fucking... He brought a chain for $200? A chain, like a metal link chain, hit me with it. Jesus. Guy got at his car threat.
Starting point is 00:53:22 threatening those guys. I'll be back. I'll be back. Five, six days. I've never heard from one day I'm going to go hash race. He goes, you hear my dad, dude? Your friend, I go, what? He hung himself.

Starting point is 00:57:03 well you what are you some you know you won't fucking edible I was I did one Jew noise in Foxwoods and it's because it's when you say stuff like that where you're surprised about like you give me an edible and I get a up and then you like, I didn't give you anything. Or why are you so fucked up?
Starting point is 00:57:19 And that's when the June noise comes out. But the, oh my God. The funniest was when he's sitting there. You guys are talking to him. And I can barely hear Lee. But he's just saying to me very Jewish. That's why I know Lee's a Jewish. He's why I didn't do.
Starting point is 00:57:34 He was sending something to me. Why do you think? The whole night from my head. He kept saying, you didn't hear him going, why these things got me sweating? There was the muscle relaxes. Oh, you said it wasn't. You said at the beginning of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:57:46 It wasn't the muscle relaxer. Yes, it was. It was the muscle. What do you think? But, really, I gave you way the half. No, I didn't even feel anything from it. I was just, I felt like I was high on the edible. You're not going to feel nothing.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Listen, nothing happens. That's why I like them. Because you don't have to go to back and you don't shit blood the next day. You shit normal. You blast one of those other people like the codeine's. Lee, I'm telling you, you saw me puke in that chicken cutlet bag. Oh, yeah. And that fucking thing was coming out.
Starting point is 00:58:14 That's one way to put it. I thought it right here and that's that's that codeine. That's fine. The other shit just doesn't, I need heroin. If you're not going to give me H, you know, would you do it? Would you shoot up now? No, no. Somebody would have to come over like a nice nurse with big tits.
Starting point is 00:58:30 You know what I'm saying? Make me relax. Tell me stories like a Chinese girl. Right. Like in the old, old, old, old days, George would know where to get me here. Go to Chinatown and get me a nice little basement where they rub your feet, shoot you. A little opium down. I can't imagine going, like, even like a...
Starting point is 00:58:48 They dye your hair blonde and shit, you know what I'm saying? You wake up looking like Joey Dragon. A member of the triads? That's it. That's it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. They had all those places. Is it creepy doing drugs with other people you don't know?
Starting point is 00:59:05 Like, like one of the, like... That's the people who want to do drugs with it. The people you don't know that you won't see him ever tomorrow. Anything that happens in that room that night? You're so drugged out in the morning you don't even know to you're on the subway and your way back to Jersey. oh my god i eat a rest with a fucking flower in it you know that's when you realize all the disgusting things you just did and then you're on the train and all of a sudden you read a sign
Starting point is 00:59:27 get tested for HIV i think i will you know what you're saying then you have that fucking thing in your in your mind that just starts eating that you're coming down from all the drugs you don't know what you did you know remember that night we were talking and i was shaking yeah you're standing outside i was telling you shit that my soul had hidden that I didn't even remember. And it was the time of my life where I was living free, but it came back to haunt me because it fucked with me a little bit. I didn't like that.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I didn't like that crazy life. You were telling me, like, a lot of sex story. Yeah, like weird. Who doesn't, what do you mean? You didn't like the sex you were having? No, I never liked the sex I was having. I'm a fucking prude, man. I'm one of those guys after I bang out,
Starting point is 01:00:14 look at you, you fucking pig. No, I don't. No, I don't. I'm just saying that, no, I never enjoyed that part of my life. I've spoken about it. And when I left bold, I was like, I'm done with this shit. This is creepy, and it's got to be creepy now. But next generation, if it was starting to get creepy back then, listen, I come from old school. If I date you, I buy your four or five dinners and you don't want to bang me, that's fine. I'd rather not. It should happen organically, and then it does. but if you're going to call me at two in the morning
Starting point is 01:00:47 after we went on two dates and say you want to come over and see my fish and we end up fucking and also you want to make a short film you know that's a complete different fucking world that's the world that I could you know that's not a person huh yeah like right you meet people now everybody's Kim Kardashian
Starting point is 01:01:04 my friend about tea I can't tell you can't tell you the other pot comedy store told me he met a girl like Michigan went back to her place everything was good and all of some the bitch came back with a camera. Oh, she wanted to film only fans? Oh, shit. Yeah, but he had a mask on like a devil and she would be like fucking Cleopatra Jones or some shit. It's getting weird out there. That's not what I ever intended. I intended to be,
Starting point is 01:01:30 I told you when I read, I thought to comedy, you were like a biker. Comedy didn't mean you were a comic. It meant you were a biker. You don't want to live the life that everybody else lives. You don't want to commit to eight to five. And you don't want to answer to nobody. You don't want to fucking have a dog. You know, you're not road warrior. You're just fucking doing stand-up fucking comedy. And what's going to happen? Oh, you're a comic. You know, I was telling many, I was telling you guys about my friend that would go to different towns. I was friends for the three years. Never saw what a man. It was always a story. Where's your boy? I don't know. And all of a three years later, I'm on the road. And people were like,
Starting point is 01:02:09 what happened to that girl? I don't want you. Man, every time she came here, she had a threesome. What are you talking? back. Looking back, that was her freak. That was her freak. And that's how they said she did it. There was nobody at the comedy club. Nobody who worked at the comedy club. She would go to the bar with a guy from the comedy club.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Like a bartender, end up talking to a guy, and then he would have a friend, and they'd leave and do a threesome. And she'd get on the plane next day and come home and like, oh, I went to bed at 8.30. I was tired. She was Ralphie's assistant. Damn. Yeah. And you think about it.
Starting point is 01:02:47 She's not a whore. She's not a freak because I see her during the week and she's normal. This is what she's into. She's into having sex with guys. She don't know. What's that movie where the chick goes fucked? Oh, leaving Las Vegas. The chick's getting fucked by waiters and waitresses.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Right there on the job. Right there on the job. They're taking it right into the back room. And she's like, you can see it's not about the fucking or the dick. It's about getting shit on. I'm no psychotherapist, but, you know, when you have a daughter, you got to look into this shit. I wish I understood then. I don't understand it either, Lee.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I pull a whip out or ball or dildo, that woman would kick me through a fucking wall. That's never even fucking crossed my mind. I think I crossed the line a little, like the third week we were dating, and that shit got shut down. Not the regular shutdown. to shut down when they sit up and go, here's their rules. Don't break them. You're like, okay.
Starting point is 01:03:48 And every once in a while you got to push them, but, you know, when you love somebody that means, you don't want to tie him up and stabbing with two picks and all that shit. You know what I'm trying? No, I don't want to stab anybody with... No, it's a fucking expression.
Starting point is 01:04:01 No, but it's not, though. There's people... But I used to go to that condo in Miami. Okay. I knew I did a lot of bad things in that condo, but I saw things in that condo. I should have saw. Because now I only knew there was
Starting point is 01:04:11 a narrow amount of comics that would go to that condo. One day they actually called me and they go, when you're here next time, we've got to show you something. I went there, this is in 1999, and they showed me they found the box under a sink with the things gay men used to use poppers. Like you pop them,
Starting point is 01:04:29 and give them, and you fuck them in the ass, and they don't feel nothing. Don't have me like that. You're telling us for a fuck. You're looking at me like I sell poppers part-time. No, a pop was like a drug that, and there was something that you pop.
Starting point is 01:04:43 and you actually put on to somebody's nose. I remember I did it one time. Listen, when I was a child, this is why you see a pattern now. Now it's something. Now you go on Instagram and what are they selling you? Cinderfill, Gimileimi, this, that for a heart on. When I was a kid, it was fucking Spanish fly.
Starting point is 01:05:02 You got a powder, you put it in your water, you drank it, and you saw what happened. And we all experimented on one of our relatives. I had no grandmother at that time. But I think fucking one of the kids, North Pergin, had a grandmother he gave, and he goes, nothing happened. I watched her for hours. She didn't scratch a pussy or nothing, you know.
Starting point is 01:05:24 They used to be called. When I was a kid, I told them on stage the other night, and they blew up. I haven't even remembered that shit. That just came out of my soul. When I was a kid, the first, forget Playboy, Penthouse. horn. The first thing I ever saw was in Harlem. It came out every Thursday and the natives went fucking crazy. It was a Puerto Rican playboy. It was called Pika Pika. Okay? And it was just women, tremendous women, Jennifer Lopez asses, the fucking brown asshole. Everything was the monkey
Starting point is 01:06:01 staring at you, a black guy and he'd have like a mask and she'd have to wear and she'd just black out the face. So it wasn't good when you're eight or nine. You want to see the the face. You want to play with your little nuggets. There was no face. You got to fucking, you're trying to bang one out to the face of some guy with a Satan mask on. You know what I'm saying? So now, you know, it's a different level. It's a different level. And then it became poppers. Somebody came to me and I was like, oh, bro, you give this to a chick. She'll lose a fucking mind. Okay. I played CYO basketball. There was a nun. I hugged it one day and I popped One of those things.
Starting point is 01:06:41 I don't think I'd be got her in the ear, but nothing happened, you know what I'm saying? She didn't suck nobody's dick. Oh, my God. I knew that shit didn't work. He had so many levels of bullshit. Thank God for the internet now. Look, there was a fucking book that came out in 78, 77.
Starting point is 01:06:59 George, I know you got it. I didn't. But two or three younger men put it over my house. How to pick up women. First off, the guy that was, listen. the guy who wrote the book he only comes out on October 30th and the 31st.
Starting point is 01:07:18 He was like missing an eye. He was like that chick and killed Bill 2. You know what I'm saying? Fucking ridiculous. Ridiculous. The shit they put us through as children. So now that's what I'm talking about being wiser. Now you see something.
Starting point is 01:07:32 You're like, fuck, I did that 30 years ago. That's nothing different than it is now. It's just the same scam with a different, thing. Oh, yeah. And then you see the scam that we're programmed to go to Vegas and these casinos to lose. We're programmed. But in our hearts, we think we're going to win. Yeah. Like there was a famous gangster and they said he lost on purpose just so he could talk about it for two hours. Look at this motherfucker. Looking like Charlemagne right now. The guy who didn't win
Starting point is 01:08:04 the Oscar last night. Oh, my God. Dude, he's such a fucking faggot, bro. I got to tell you, ladies What a Timothy Shalema did do you? He didn't do anything, but just look at him. He's just the epitome of what men, Briety's a fucking prick too. And let me tell you some, that little Kardashian, she has no shame. They should just call a pussy United Nation.
Starting point is 01:08:29 She's with Bonnie, Bonnie. She's with DMX's nephew, the little short guy that won the Super Bowl. We better than you. You know, no, she was with the fucking back. Bad-ass rapper, wasn't she? Travis Scott. What are you?
Starting point is 01:08:47 That's her baby daddy? She got a baby daddy already? Oh, she's always out sucking dick. We're still watching the kids. One of the nannies. I didn't watch any of the Oscars. And those kids inherit a billion-dollar family. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Wait till that chapter comes out. They're going to have a show on forever. There's going to be these kids, like, The Kardashian kids? Of course. What's the name? Mike Turner. What's the name of the father?
Starting point is 01:09:21 Kanye West. Kanye West. I can't turn. The same difference. He's got it. I still got the cucketkers. Even on the fucking Monday that's raining, who gives a fuck? That's it, bro.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Yeah, there's definitely going to be Kardashian shows like with the kids. Yeah, forever. Now the kids are going to be fighting over the money. They're all going to be worthless. We think that little kid, his could rap. She's, you know, stop. And she gets,
Starting point is 01:09:54 it's like my daughter. I don't take my daughter serious. And she comes to talk to me. I go, you know, I don't say it to her. A thousand fucking pimples. Where are you going? Like, what the fuck are you going?
Starting point is 01:10:06 And she gets the stuff. And I talked to the mother last week, and she's like, dog, it's just, she's at that age. But listen, when I met Terry, Terry had a couple fucking zits. And then she went on the medication, and everything clear it up.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Bro, this isn't just about fucking good things. I bring out the truth to you. She's a cute kid, but all those pimples are. There's time she get in the car and it's like a lump on her head. I'm like, mercy. Jesus, fucking Christ. She had like a lump on the head the other day. I don't say nothing to her.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Well, yeah, because she's a 13-year-old girl. I know. She's going through a thousand things. That's why I would never say nothing to her. But I can't take you serious. You got all those pimples on your face. What are you telling me about? And I love it.
Starting point is 01:10:48 That's my angel. I don't do shit. But, you know, and listen, I'm no fucking Prince Ragu either. She must look at me like, who the fuck is this ugly motherfucker? How do you fucking that I end up with Brent Flintstone as a dad? What the fuck? That is a good nickname for you, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:06 Prince Ragu. Listen, I ain't mad, yeah, because she did the right thing. She waited. That little girl's a stone cold killer. That bitch waited to the party was good. She was always in my nuts sack, lurking. Oh. She waited now.
Starting point is 01:11:19 I didn't know what you mean. I remember that? Yeah. As soon as I popped, she popped. She was like a Russian. You know what I'm saying? They just appear. You get $3?
Starting point is 01:11:27 All of a sudden, a blonde Russian appears. Where have you been on my life? Well, I just got $3. You know what I'm saying? The guru of failure. The guru of failure. Yeah, I'm no fucking a winner.
Starting point is 01:11:45 You know, by no means. I don't try to blow my own like that. I'm the guru of failure. but sometimes you've got to be the guru of failure to get you to that little fucking village. That little guru of... I have no idea what that means. Now I can pick my own village.
Starting point is 01:12:01 I want to be on probation. I could be on probation. If I want to sit in my house and scratch my fingers and stick my nutsack, I could do that. How long do you think you'd last on probation? I think you'd go to jail within the first one. What do I do? It's perfect for the way I live.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Because you can't smoke weed and you can't tell them that I don't know the answer to this question. There's always, I'm over 64. You can't put Drano on your dick anymore? No, the dick is almost done. The dick is, one more Drano shot and it's done. It'll never come back. That was 30 fucking years ago, Lee.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Again, I think about that shit. What kind of addict was I? I still remember one specific daily. And I was, when I first got out of halfway house, it took me about two months to get it, like a job. I got him convinced for a long time I was a detail. And that worked for a long time.
Starting point is 01:12:55 And then I started having to make money. So I told him I was helping out a friend. And we were laying brick in Boulder. Old school. He was a white dude, but he was of OK Mason. And I'll never forget getting the call at the job. You have to call like between 12 and 3 and calling in. And my number came up like purple.
Starting point is 01:13:17 And you've got to come in by 6. And I never going, holy fuck, I'm dirty as fuck. Thank God in my bag, I had some fucking shit. You put on your dick the cleaner, the pool cleaner. I don't think most people put that on their dick, but yeah. I never figured going to one of those huts. You know those port-a-potty? It already smelled like Lee's asshole when it blew out of the thing before.
Starting point is 01:13:42 I had to go in there and actually take my dick out, which was half dead from the three days of Coke I was doing. That shit lasted. You know, the Coke in those days, I had like two inches. Like, the sinning of my dick, and I had to pull the skin back and pour the draino on it and then fucking zip it up there just so it got into the pee hole. And I still remember laying brick and going, my dick's on fire. Like, what the fuck am I doing?
Starting point is 01:14:08 Why would you put that on your dick before you had to go there? You'd put it on the hours before? I was going, like, right from there. And I knew I couldn't stop with this guy in the car. And I remember that. My dick was on fire. And I finally go, I got to go. I know I was going to probation.
Starting point is 01:14:22 I went in there and I fucking peed. At that time, they didn't catch it. They called me the next day and said, the machine broke. That I threw the test off. Not that the machine broke. I'm exaggerating. I drew the fucking test off. And from there, it was just a play, you know, I was, I was Leo Donna de Capio.
Starting point is 01:14:41 What's that movie he made? Catch me now. Catch me later. Catch me if you can. Catch me if you can. It was just one of those games. And it was hilarious. Remember Mike Runny told you on the plane that fucking he was there when I'd do
Starting point is 01:14:54 fucking tons of coke in my living room and I was doing that coke with him and I had no idea and I looked at the side window it's my probation officer Jack and I'm like we went upstairs and kept snorting coke he kept banging I know you're here the sheriffs are out here surrender yourself you can only be out there for two hours we got two ounces we could be held up in here for days you know what I'm So you just did Coke in the dark with like no sounds? No, we had lights upstairs. I had a beautiful upstairs.
Starting point is 01:15:27 With no windows or something? They had a, well, the baby's room. You went up the stairs. The baby's room was over here. But her window was, her thing was open. So you could see it if you were watching TV in the basement. This was a really short place. And then our room was back here.
Starting point is 01:15:42 We had a balcony. And the downstairs was fucking great. Because it was like you walk down. it was really classy in Boulder. Now it's probably like a low-rent housing or something because it's been there. It was probably there 15 years when I got there, 20 years. Now it's 30 years ago, so it's 50.
Starting point is 01:16:01 But the cool thing about this, you walk down in the living room, boom, and then it turned into the little kitchen area to eat. And then you walked again, there was a bar, a bar here. The phone was here. Sink, boom, refrigerator. But there was a sliding door here, and there was a green. room.
Starting point is 01:16:21 In the house? Yeah, like in the house, connected to the house, and it was air conditioned. So what did you grow there? My office was out there. Oh, cool. And that had a view of all a bold.
Starting point is 01:16:30 I could see cocoa's from that window and Kmart. It's a beautiful city like I could see all the stores. That's cool, though. A greenhouse attached to the house. You didn't grow any weed in there? No, because probation kept trying to cut in my house. You just saw it from my side.
Starting point is 01:16:44 But I had a lot of coke in that, that motherfucker in that green room, like a motherfucker. I used to go in that green room solo on a Friday night and blast. You loved hanging out in your office. Every office you had, you love hanging out there. Listen to me, I was on probation. In those days, I was trying to keep it cool.
Starting point is 01:17:02 You know, I had the wife, the baby. But the monkey was on my back. So I learned how to deal with it a little bit. But then I started roofing with my brother-in-law. First three weeks was great. It was always a great job. Nine, it was a great job because then he brought guys from Jersey out. This is 1990, and I guess Jersey had gotten an influx of Irish people,
Starting point is 01:17:26 Irish workers. This is way before the Mexicans and Nicaraguans, the Cubans, well, the Cubans been here forever, so. But they had a bunch of Irish, and we got three Irish guys and a state trooper took vacation to go out there. He was older, he took six months off to go out there and do this roof with us. That guy did more Coke. those Irish dudes
Starting point is 01:17:51 they started at 501 every night drink got off the roof we put the roof and shit on see you later I couldn't drink with them I'd just get in the car with Mike and we drive home and I could see those guys would already have two cases of beer there
Starting point is 01:18:07 and then the next morning they all come in smelling like booze but one night they got me out like let's go back to your house and smoke and I'm like dog there's no fucking way I'm walking in with four drunk Irish guys into my house. With my luck, both these are getting into a fight.
Starting point is 01:18:24 The cops come now with domestic violence and probation violation because there's two Irishmen cursing each other out. That's a probation by the way. There's them, Dublin, the other ones are fucking Catholic. You know, those Irish always have problems. So, yeah, when they're together, get like six of them, also on the old, once they hear the bagpipe, they're, ah, but you're from, you know, you don't need that aggravation.
Starting point is 01:18:47 They get really upset. yet. So, what was they saying? You said the Irish people that wanted to come over and do coke with you? So they want to come do coke with me. And when I would go, okay, and this is how I got out of the house and it was days to do coke.
Starting point is 01:19:04 When I lived 50 yards from there, it was a two-bedroom flat. She would go to bed. The baby's room was here. And I come home and watch TV after I sold cars. and before I went home when I got home my dog always had a go out
Starting point is 01:19:23 what was his name? Hercules Hercules I got to go Hercules wants to go out Hercules didn't want to go out Hercules's like it's cold out there dog where you take him I would take him to a liquor storm
Starting point is 01:19:34 by six cans of Budweiss but it was so cold out it was snow so I would bury the beer in the snow so nobody would know I had the beer in the house when you get in trouble of your beer? I was on probation plus my wife was watching me
Starting point is 01:19:47 like a hawk. You know, she was serious about it. So I would come in, ooh, it's cold out there. Are you coming to bed? No, no, no. I'm going to watch. And those days, USA had a show at 9 o'clock about music, videos, till about 2 in the morning. Then a movie would come up. I love that show. Midnight something on USA when I was a kid, all the way till fucking I was 20-something. What am I talking about? But, and then whenever I would do a line of coke in the bathroom, I was not in the living room, but then when I needed to drink a beer. Hercules, you want to go out and he'd go, fuck no. We just about 20 minutes ago.
Starting point is 01:20:24 Take him out. Grab a beer, go for a walk, drinking, go on the garbage outside. We come back. We do that until 5 in the morning. Back and forth. All night, the door would open every 20 minutes because the dog had to pee. And then one weekend I got so high, I didn't let the dog out to pee at all. I wouldn't even open the door. When that dog was a puppy, I fucking stayed in from a friday.
Starting point is 01:20:47 And by Monday, he was in the thing, that poor dog peeing in the garage. But fuck, I let him out like Saturday. He was in there like 24 hours. He was ready to bus. He's like, Dad, you got to stop jerking on. I got to go pee. I was so high that week, and I hit the Coke in the sink with like 10 bags. How do you hide it in the sink?
Starting point is 01:21:10 You put it in a baggie, and I would seal the top. And only if the cops came, I'd turn the water on. please this is the mind of an attic dog hook does not sound like fun no every time he described it like when mice told you in the beginning of the show that everything is fun for three nights four nights and then you see
Starting point is 01:21:30 you get hooked and now you see the dirt now it's completely different there's no jumping what's that movie man on fire when fucking the dude comes to Mickey Roark and he says listen if you decide to go on year round Mexico's not the place. It's no Margarita, no tacos.
Starting point is 01:21:51 You know, he's like letting them know. Right. If you go on that side of the fence, there ain't no fucking playing. I don't remember that part. Yeah, when he goes in to tape the house and the kid wants to bring the money on his own. Oh, right, right, right. And he schooled him on what not to do.
Starting point is 01:22:06 Oh, yeah. So, yeah. So that weekend, I got in Coke like a month earlier. The Coke was pink. it was so fucking good I got two ounces I took an ounce and gave it to a dear friend of mine
Starting point is 01:22:25 10 years later I found out he was a D-A age no we don't know I tried to put that chapter in the book I knew this guy for years something was never fucking right
Starting point is 01:22:40 and why did you give him an ounce of Coke because I wanted to I wanted him to take it from me I didn't want access to it. It was so good. And he was an active DE agent at the time. He was an electrician that also taught me how to break alarms. This is scary when I found out years later. He was setting you up for something big. No shit. And something made me get the fuck out of that. How's that one for you?
Starting point is 01:23:09 Why would he tell you not to break alarms? What was like the... Anyway, we can't go there. Okay. The show's not that long time. All right. He didn't. When I first met him, I was as a apprentice electrician. Okay. We became dear friends. He had just moved from Minneapolis. Something wasn't right. His wife was fucking gorgeous.
Starting point is 01:23:28 And I don't know. She could have kids or not. I was 19, 18. And they'd have me over every Friday like, fucking noble, like, like a mom and dad. And he was young. He wasn't, you know, they were both, you know. He was a good-looking dude.
Starting point is 01:23:44 Too good-looking. They knew a lot of shit. But I worked with him. You know, I worked with him for like a year. I was tight with him. And I came, at that time, he taught me about alarm systems and shit. And then when I came back, he moved out of that place. He lived in an Aspen now.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Something wasn't right about this building. I went in there maybe five times. At that time, one day, I went in, his name was Bob. That was his street name. Bob. I forget what our name was. And I became dear. I trusted him.
Starting point is 01:24:15 He was like family. And I gave him an ounce of Coke. I told him, hold on to it. And I took the other ounce. I sold half of it. And I snorted the other half. And then I had this ounce put away. And it was my wife's brother's wedding.
Starting point is 01:24:34 And she looked at the kid from Hollywood. That's what he looked like when he lost the Oscar. You know what I'm saying? I saw he was looking at the black guy, you fucking cock sucker. I guarantee he looked at that white chicken. He goes, I can't believe you, fuck. black dudes. So what we saying?
Starting point is 01:24:59 Oh. No idea. So I gave, I went over there on a Friday afternoon. My fiance at the time. I was taking an Aspen Airway flight to Boulder. And they were going to have the wedding on Saturday. I was going to meet the family, stay over. This was the first time I was going to do something with the family outside, meet
Starting point is 01:25:20 their daughter to San Francisco, and the cops calling the house, and it was just like these people weren't ready for Uncle Joey. So this is like, you're gonna go, you're gonna meet the whole family, you're gonna be very nice, you're gonna have a good time.
Starting point is 01:25:33 I gotta go to Boulder for a week, and I got to bring some coke with me for the wedding. So I saved an ounce of this shit. I picked it up at 4 in the afternoon, and before I left this house, I did two big fucking spoonfuls, and I called one of my friends, and I go, listen,
Starting point is 01:25:48 I'll sell you like an ace. I love you, but that's it. And then he came over and me and him hung out like nothing, but then he left. And I'm like, man, it's me in that fucking house. I'm starting to snort, Bob. 7 o'clock at night.
Starting point is 01:26:04 I finally go for a ride. I get everything I need, wine coolers, scotch, fucking. And I just could go. I didn't even wake up Saturday morning. My flight was at 8. I ain't making that one. And she called me. are you, you're not, we're at the airport, where are you?
Starting point is 01:26:22 And I'm like, you're not going to believe what happened. I can only make the 11 o'clock one. She's like, fine, we'll change it. Oh my God, we were so worried. 11 o'clock, I was more fucked up than I was at 8 o'clock. I'm like, listen, I'll get down to 2 o'clock. You're going to miss the reception. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:26:39 I'll be there to dance with you. Fucking didn't get on the 5 o'clock, didn't get on the 7 o'clock. They just stopped calling like an 11. She knew. And I was in there. I had been in there for two fucking days. Two fucking days. I was hiding the rest of the Coke in the sink.
Starting point is 01:26:57 I was pissing in a bottle. It was fucking, I was watching the woman in red with Gene Wilder and Kelly LeBrock. And there's a scene, she runs out of bed. And you see her bush. I froze it on VHS. You know how good you got to be to freeze it on VHS? And they sit there for hours banging out. Nothing would come out.
Starting point is 01:27:18 It's Sunday morning. He's nothing going to come out. You're basically hydrating on beer and water. You had like two chips the day before. You don't know what that feeling is like. How many times do you have to go back and forth to actually freeze it at the right spot? Because you're not going to get out on the first try.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Well, I was a pro by then because in the early 80s, if you rented a hotel and you didn't get the porno channel, the channel was still there, but it was crooked. Oh, yeah. So you got it like fucking wire it. And then you see the guy coming in the face that it would slant this shit. You have to tell a hold on one second. Let me get this right.
Starting point is 01:27:53 I'm like, I can't even imagine. I have no idea what that's like. Like just being stuck in a, because like, did you, when you were on the phone, would you like think you were going to stop doing Coke? Or was it like you just knew it was going to? I was hoping that I would stop and get the courage to drive to the air. But I knew I wasn't leaving the door.
Starting point is 01:28:12 I knew so much that now it, so I stayed up all night Friday night. Now it's sad and I was starting to get dark. I got some beer. What's that word called? When you're putting it away, like during the pandemic, people put stockpiling, and going, okay, I'll drink this after 10.
Starting point is 01:28:33 I was still looking at a half ounce of that Coke. That's a lot late. What do you start with? Now it's like 24 grams. And I had done like 10. I told you that coke was powerful as shit. The pink stuff. I wasn't seeing things,
Starting point is 01:28:49 But my house, at that time, I lived over the garage. But I didn't live in over the garage. I lived in the man's house because he lived in California. I was he going to know I'm in his fucking house. I'm in the couch smoking cigars and shit. I got a jacuzzi in the back. I got a steam room in the back. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:07 I had a guest room. I had 10 guest rooms in that fucking place. That's the house I showed you years ago. It's worth like you can rent it for $100,000 a month in Aspen during the ski season. 100 G's. Ba, bar, like fucking
Starting point is 01:29:22 Mickey Regirio paid Sunny Black's rent. 200 every week. Ba! He had to take care of him, the mistress, and he had a mistress for the mistress. That's a great line.
Starting point is 01:29:35 So, yeah, that was a rough weekend. So now, what happened at the house? It's two, three, but now I go over into the house to check it because I got stuck in the little house.
Starting point is 01:29:46 I would have been in the big house, but I would have been too paranoid. There's too many windows and noises and shit. I mean, there were windows right in the limer. There was a fucking huge fireplace, right? It was over here. This was like a, and then right there were the mountains. So if a wolf came over and I saw a wolf,
Starting point is 01:30:01 I would die of a fucking heart attack. I knew I couldn't snort in that house. It was a special cabana that had to snorting over the garage. But I went over and I saw that somebody broke into the back door. You could see that where the door opened. And you could see two, two sets of people. I knew they were on to me.
Starting point is 01:30:21 I knew somebody was on to me. This isn't no fucking paranoid story. I'm coming at you with this story because years later, I got all the information of what was going on. It all went down because a woman, accountant,
Starting point is 01:30:33 was robbing the city of Aspen. Her husband ran the so-called, what it, DDW? In Snowmass Village, which was basically shoving slow, you know, garbage and fucking salt.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Okay. She was robbing the money and they were doing a bunch of coke. They got her on robbing the money. And the only way they would let her off is if he made buys for them. Every time he'd come to my house, he'd talk about let's meet outside, let's meet here, this guy wants to meet. You come alone. There was always something.
Starting point is 01:31:11 And Aspen had a bunch of drug dealers that had been there for years and they knew all the movement. If a DA guy came to town He stayed at the red roof There was no fucking There was no, what do you guys do? Reddit? No, the other one.
Starting point is 01:31:26 Airbnb. They would have to stay in plain sight So everybody knew when they were at the red roof end When they were at the red roof end Operations closed down In the city, it was fucking weird They added down that fucking wired They protected their investment up there, Jack.
Starting point is 01:31:44 And he was setting you up the whole time? So I didn't know any of this. I closed the door, but I noticed that, and not my heart's even worse. Okay, now my paranoids growing. So now I'm doing two shovels a shot now. About four in the morning, I got so fucked up. I just died of mine one morning.
Starting point is 01:32:07 They came to the house. What's going on, Joey? Man, I didn't even open the door for the cops. I know, they're out there. He's like, out where? I go, search around. And he came back, and he goes, we didn't see nothing but around the back there's some tracks
Starting point is 01:32:21 and I'm telling you and the count goes all right call us if we have any problems all right now later I'm gonna want to go on there out there they come again show you open the door please what's up listen I don't know who's out there they're trying to kill me and all this shit you know I'm glad I didn't say kill and he closed the door and then finally the door knocks again And he goes, hey, put the bag away, okay? Put the fucking bag away.
Starting point is 01:32:56 You want me to take it? I ain't got nothing. I thought he was going to arrest me, bro. And meanwhile, the dog's over here. Let me go out. She's pissing on the wall. And that Monday, I never forgot, I cleaned up that Sunday. I just ate stayed there.
Starting point is 01:33:12 I was disgusted. I finally talked to her. She landed on Sunday night. She didn't talk to me. And that Monday morning I woke up I knew I didn't have a home I woke up and I went right to the police station And I walked through the chief of police
Starting point is 01:33:25 And what did the guys told him? Oh yeah night somebody fucking put like meth in my water There wasn't even no meth in those days What water? Like the water in your house? I made up a fucking story That was at the bridge fucking bar The hotel which is still there It's right down the block for where
Starting point is 01:33:42 Ted Bundy got his first victim in Colorado and shit I'll never forget that bar That's a great bar. I got a job job there just for the security job. So I was going to put a safe in there so I could sell coke out of there. I'm way ahead of you. We got more stories. But what was I say?
Starting point is 01:33:57 Just if you went to the police station and told him that someone put in your water. Wait, I want to talk to the chief of police. And I went in and I go, hey, man, thank you for doing great work the end of night. Thank you for sending your police officers. I don't know what they were thinking. I said, you know, I went to that war. I sat next to some hippies. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:34:16 I was late. I felt like I was on that. And I'm like, man, tell people to beware the acid. That's how fucked up I was. I'm telling the cops to where I'm putting them on acid. There's no acid. I just have three quarters of an ounce of cocaine. Your nose is bleeding as you're telling them.
Starting point is 01:34:32 Yeah, and the cops looking straight at me after like 30 minutes. He goes, Joey, put the bag away. What date you got, Tarzan? This weekend, 19th to the 21st.

When I watched... the thief. Well, I was 18, it set me up for life. Like three of those scenes, Willie Nelson tells him not to lie to no one. If they care about it, you're going to fuck
Starting point is 01:36:26 it up with a lie. And at the end of the day, who the fuck a day that you got to lie that you got to lie about it. And he tells the other shit about when he was in prison and he went at one of the guards. And anybody who attacked that guard usually died. And he goes, I walked onto the field. I have to spend four months in the hospital. And I had like a wrench in my pocket. And the chick goes, and what happened? And what happened? And he goes, and what He goes, you know what happened?
