Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, you fuckers! We're live! He wants to get great stories from comics that you guys all enjoy. So what Ari is suggesting you do is perhaps tweet him suggestions and also tweet the comics that you would like to see perform on his show. Basically, everybody's got some fucking wacky story. Just one wacky story. And if you've ever seen This Is Not Happening, it's stand-ups telling crazy stories about either things that have happened to them on the road or during life or what have you. It's just a slightly different form of stand-up.
Starting point is 00:00:54 So season two is about to begin and Ari would like you to just tweet at anybody that you would think would be, don't harass anybody, don't Twitter bomb people. That shit's gross. People that ask me to Twitter bomb Joe, that's a great way to never get on this podcast. It's annoying. It's annoying as fuck.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I don't like it. But this is not that. What he wants you to do is just get the word out about it and tweet to him anybody that you would like to see on it. That would help as well. All right? You fucks? Dindo Ray, ladies and gentlemen. Hey what's up brother oh that's funny you say that because like i would see for like a year people going joe abdine on your podcast and i'm like that's the
Starting point is 00:01:35 worst way to get me on well not necessarily if you told them to do it then it would be the worst way i would never do no you never would but a lot of people did suggest it and i i watched you on the dom herrera uh podcast because of it which is fucking hilarious you've never seen dom herrera live from the laugh factory first of all dom's great guy hilarious comic but it's a fun podcast and you were really funny on that fucking show oh thanks man those rock and roll stories god. I mean, you fucking, you came into comedy through a really weird way. Yeah, I came the fucking long way. 25 years the long way.
Starting point is 00:02:12 25 years of music. Yeah, I played music 25 years. But the funny thing is, when I was a kid, I wanted to do comedy. But there was no kids doing comedy. It was not like now you can go to a camp or you can just do whatever you know go to a comedy camp for kids that's how tiffany was started she did a laugh factory comedy camp as like a 13 year old yeah same with melissa yeah wow and uh but when i was a kid you know i'm 49 so i i grew up on the first couple seasons of Saturday Night Live, and I was like, I want to be John Belushi.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I've got to be him, but where can you be him except for sixth grade? Well, there's open mics and stuff like that. Where did you start out? Where were you living when you were— I grew up in the Bay Area, and San Francisco. There was open mics, but I'm like eighth grade. You don't know about that. There's no internet or anything.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And so you had already gotten into music? I started playing music, and then the years just flew by. Wow. Because the neighbors played music, and I loved rock, and I loved comedy. In the 70s, it was the same. You had Cheech and Chong, Carlin, Richard Pryor. You also had ACDC, Ted Nugent, and Van Halen. They were just the same to me.
Starting point is 00:03:26 You'd put one record on and then the other. Wow. Yeah, so you lived next to musicians? Is that what got... Well, people in my neighborhood, we all loved rock, and they were like, let's play in bands, you know? Do you think if that wasn't around that you would have gotten into stand-up early?
Starting point is 00:03:42 Well, here's the thing. Stand-up was huge in san francisco in the 80s man you know we had bobcat we had uh bobby slayton robin williams uh we had the uh that morning show with carrie snow and uh all those guys you know it was huge but i just didn't know how to do it and i was probably scared you know i remember i saw dice and i was like i'm gonna try comedy and i did one time at this bar mcnears in petaluma and i went in and i was just trying to be dice like hey look at those tits and and i swear it was silent i was like i'd like to fuck you oh no and i thought this is how you do it right and man i was tossed out of there of course
Starting point is 00:04:26 yeah there's that intangible when you see a guy like dice they can say like some of the most offensive shit first of all because you know him and you know like the character but there's also there's something about the way he did it and like if you're a young kid and you see it you think you could go do it too yeah you don't realize how stupid it sounds until it comes out of your mouth. And you realize, oh, wait a minute, he's been doing this for a long time. Yeah, it's established. But I saw Dice in 88 at the store.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Did you really? Well, I used to hang at the store. My buddy was dating the head waitress there. And I'd play rock in Hollywood, and then we'd go to the store because it was huge. Was that before or after he had become gigantic? It was before because I remember seeing him, and then I think like a year later, he was on the Rodney thing. And I was like, that's that guy I was telling you guys about.
Starting point is 00:05:16 But he would do Monday nights, and he would go on, and all the rockers would go. The rockers would be like, you've got to see this guy, man. And you'd go down there, and he'd come out, anders would be like, you gotta see this guy, man. And you'd go down there and he'd come out and he'd be like, look at this hole. And you'd be like, what the fuck? How is this guy not getting beat up? This is rad. And the guy would laugh.
Starting point is 00:05:35 And another guy would laugh and he'd go, what are you laughing at, you fucking asshole? And that guy would get up and leave. And it was awesome, man. Yeah, I call it mean dice. And it was awesome, man. You know? Yeah, I call it mean dice. Like, there's two different dices. There's dice and then there's mean dice.
Starting point is 00:05:52 And mean dice will start picking on people in the audience. And fucking just lay into dudes for like 10, 15 minutes. You see, they like smile at first. They think, well, eventually he'll get tired of picking on me, move on to the next guy. No, I'm not done with you. I'm not done with you yet. Right? And you see them going, please be done with me.
Starting point is 00:06:10 What the fuck, man? I just came to see a comedy show. I didn't want to be a part of it. Just brutalize people. Radical, man. But hilarious. The store was radical back then. You know, everybody was just flying around on Coke in his 80s, and there was rock bands and great comedy going on you know
Starting point is 00:06:26 that's what's different now that's a big thing that's different now is coke the comedians are not on coke there's not a lot of comics on coke it's all weed there's a few that drink but as far as like doing coke maybe a couple of them might do it occasionally yeah but it's not like a kinesin thing where they're all just getting blasted. Like, you've heard Marc Maron's Kinnison stories. Awesome. The fucking, the one about doing coke for like 78 hours and hallucinating for a year. Yeah. He was hearing voices for a fucking year.
Starting point is 00:06:54 He had voices talking in his head for a year after that. That was the era, man. I mean, I did coke, you know, not every day, but like all the time. You just did coke. It was just what you did, man. It was raw coke. It wasn't about getting high. It was just about keep rolling.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Let's keep this rolling, man. Rock. You don't want to quit. Nope. You don't want to go to bed. Let's go bowling. Then the liquor store will be open. We'll hit that.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Then we'll go to this party in the canyon. Oh, God. I know it's brutal, but it's fun. That's insane. It's gross god that's brutal but it's fun that's insane it's gross now to think about it i worship sleep so much now i'm like fuck that man i know when you're young you'll put that sleep off it's just like i could stay i've done that many times just stayed up and just figure i'll go to bed tonight yeah let's go to bed tonight just ride it out and then the last few hours of your day you're just a zombie just it's we're such bitches yeah we need sleep we don't get
Starting point is 00:07:49 that sleep you're like working at like 40% capacity but you have to struggle with everything you do yeah hilarious right like I get angry when I don't get sleep yeah I mean I'm like fuck this crowd I remember being young though thinking like just feeling like shit after pulling an all-nighter And thinking the difference between me then and me now is I probably more aware of how I feel like shit now I'm more aware of what my body actually requires when you're 20 years old and you do something like that You don't think anything of it. You just go why was so tired? Yeah. Yeah, the endurance is crazy when you're young You just it's weird. You can lay there, and when you hear your body working, that's scary. When it's just going boom, boom, boom, boom.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And you think about what you've made it do. It's just all booze and drugs in you, and you haven't eaten in a couple days? That's gross. So how old were you when you got into stand-up? 44. I've been doing it five and a half years exactly last week. 2,600 spots. That's a fucking hustle, dude.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You know what's weird, Joe? This is a true story. When I started thinking of doing comedy, all the guys I loved were in their 40s. It's like you, CK, Tom Papa, I was watching a lot, Burr. And I was really naive thinking like, oh, it's not an age thing, like rock, you know? Right, where there's a rock star. There's only a few guys that get to that Mick Jagger level where you can do whatever the fuck you want. And they're looked at as like, you know, old rockers or whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:24 But comedians aren't looked at as old comics. They're looked at as like you know old rockers or whatever but comedians aren't looked at as old comics they're looked at as comics because they're the most of the killers are in their 40s you know the guys i love well there's you could be there's something about your insight when you get into your 40s that is probably missing when you're in your 30s like in your 30s you can be really funny when you're in your 30s but it's very rare that you find someone in their 30s that has like the insight of a Louis CK Like the the point of view the unique perspective of a burr You know it's like it takes a lot of living to become that guy Yeah, if you got it you have to travel or think yeah
Starting point is 00:10:00 You do you have to come to their own you have to understand your own bullshit, too Which a lot of times you don't yet when you're in your 30s. When you're in your 30s, even if you're really funny, you might have some funny points. You probably don't understand your own bullshit yet. Yeah, you've got to admit to yourself. You've got to figure it out. I'm shitty in some ways. And then you talk about it on stage.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Did you go to AA or one of those things where you stand on a podium and make people laugh? That's how a lot of guys start. Yeah. I didn't do that. What happened was I drank and did Coke every night, but I sang every night and I had three guys in my band. I was losing my voice. So I go to the doctor and he goes, you can't drink alcohol. It dries out your vocal cords. You've got what they call pre-notes, which is like calluses on your vocal cords like Adele, God, or Steven Tyler, or Paul Stanley. And you've got to go in and get them lasered off.
Starting point is 00:10:54 You won't be able to sing for six months. Whoa! And when you're making a living, even two days off, even with comedy, that completely makes the machine crumble. So my guys are like, hey, you can't drink you know we got we gotta eat and I felt like that too I was like all right I gotta quit for a little bit and see what
Starting point is 00:11:14 happens then after three weeks went by I felt fantastic and and I just never looked back so you never got a laser no what I did was he told me two things quit drinking don't talk all day and don't talk after gigs and I just chilled for like three weeks and they slow and a lot of Ricola's throat coat tea and And the number one thing I did wrong which people don't know was when you clear your throat It's the worst thing you can do when you go To that all the time it bangs your vocal cords together and that's the worst thing you can do when you go damn i do that all the time it bangs your vocal cords together and that's the worst thing you can do maybe you just have bitch-ass vocal cords
Starting point is 00:11:49 my vocal cords don't mind rumbling a little bit button heads your your vocal cords lift weights they're getting jacked running hills yeah so you that was what made you quit drinking like pretty much well i i didn't hit a rock bottom i had some radical i mean i was getting pretty radical i Running hills. Yeah. So that was what made you quit drinking? Pretty much. You didn't hit a rock bottom. I had some radical. I mean, I was getting pretty radical. I threw a beer in an A&R guy's face. Why'd you do that? What's an A&R guy?
Starting point is 00:12:13 That's a radio executive. Artist in Residence. That's the guy that signs, you know, record labels. Oh, really? Yeah, so we were doing a showcase for- What does it stand for? Artists in Residence? Reporters?
Starting point is 00:12:26 Represented. Artists in Relations. Artists in Relations. showcase for what does it stand for artists and residents representatives or uh represented artists and relations artists and relations uh you threw a beer in his face yeah i was we were doing a showcase and there's a bunch of uh record labels come down to see us they're all hot and right before we go on uh they all start leaving our managers like i don't know what the fuck's going on they're all leaving and so he calls them like, I don't know what the fuck's going on. They're all leaving. He calls them the next day and they go, well, such and such said he signed you guys yesterday at lunch. We left. It was like a scam he did so he could watch us on his own.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I saw him about a month later. I was pretty drunk at an awards show. I just had a beer and just right on his face and talks. I was like, yeah, that's probably not good. That's not good for the business. Later though, I seen him later and he's like, that's pretty gangster. Really? He said it was gangster?
Starting point is 00:13:16 Yeah, he knew. That's like the GNR era rockers, you know, they're crazy. What the fuck? The Guns N' Roses era. Were you around for that? Yeah. Did you see them come up? I saw them come up big time, yeah. I played in that whole scene, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:32 What was that like, man? That seems like one of the weirdest eras of Hollywood. Because it seems like a rock and roll era that nobody really saw coming. Like a late 80s. Yeah. I mean, outside of them. And there's quite a few big bands from back then, but not necessarily big
Starting point is 00:13:47 bands from LA. They were so much better than everybody else. You had them and Jane's Addiction, really. Those were the two. And they played gigs together and stuff. When you think about the two styles, they're totally different, but they're both the recipes are the same.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Danger. And whenever you have something really fucking dangerous, it's going to hit with kids because, you know, you're coming out of that Reagan era and everything's kind of shitty. And it's like comedy was big in the 80s, you know. When it's bad, people grab onto it. And you had a long time of bad music, you know. You had a bunch of, like super glam, spandex stuff, and then this thing comes in,
Starting point is 00:14:27 Welcome to the Jungle, and it feels real. And the whole record's good. That's why it made it. It wasn't one, two songs. Yeah, that record's fantastic. But if you look at the original video for Welcome to the Jungle, he's on the borderline of
Starting point is 00:14:44 that glam thing. Like, somebody must have talked him into dressing like that, or he didn't know any better yet. But his hair was like Farrah Fawcett or some shit. You should have seen Dean's hair, man. Yeah, it was just as bad. I got pictures. Really? Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Do you have pictures we could see online? Yeah. Do you have an Instagram page or anything that we could find? Yeah, Dean Del Rey. There's tons of pictures of me on there from the old days. Jamie will find it. But I want to see Axl Rose first. Welcome to the jungle.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah, because it changed. Then it was like bandanas and greasy hair and the heroin look. He went from the hairband look to the heroin look. Yeah. You know? I remember specifically seeing them. This was the turning point. They were grinding out, and the record came out.
Starting point is 00:15:27 You know that record failed when it first came out. People don't know. What? First single, Bombed. Really? What was the first single? Yeah, Welcome to the Jungle. That was the first single?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Well, dudes liked it, but it wasn't, you know, it took, you had to wait until you got the sweet child of mine. Look at his hair. Yeah, there you go. Wow. Look at that photo. Yeah, those you go. Look at that photo. Yeah, those photos of me looking juicy. Slightly grungy, but you know what it is?
Starting point is 00:15:50 It's like you tried to be grunge there. You worked it. Your hair doesn't stick up that much. No, no, that's hairspray. Unless you work in a chemical plant. You got to think, though, man. That is... This era, when you look at this and I always describe
Starting point is 00:16:07 this to people and you have tattoos and I have tattoos in this era of the eighties, when you had tattoos, that meant you were never working a regular job at that time. Now you work at Chipotle, you work at Starbucks, wherever. But at that time, that meant no one was hiring you except construction or landscaping. Yeah. You weren't going to get a job. So that was a CEO. I mean, he has multiple giant tattoos, too. Yeah, he just went out.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Now you've got like 16-year-old kids that have sleeves. Exactly. Side boobs and fifth grade. I always say I don't think I've got enough tattoos to work at Chipotle. Yeah, and ladies, what's up with the inspirational quotes below the side boob? So that is becoming
Starting point is 00:16:51 that is the fucking barbed wire around the bicep of the 2015 era is the inspirational quote on your side boob. That's the new tramp stamp. It's weird, right? And it's always like, you know, some fucking Ralph Waldo Emerson quote
Starting point is 00:17:08 or something biblical. It's never good like a Charles Bukowski thing, you know, like I'm a day drinker. Right. That would be dope, right? He was another one. It's one of my favorite representations of Hollywood. God, I love Bukowski. You know, that's why
Starting point is 00:17:24 I like Burr. I like you. I like guys that are dangerous. And I'm attracted to the edge. I just love that. Are you living on the edge? I'm living on the edge! You can't take it! It's funny. Dean is now addicted
Starting point is 00:17:39 to candy, though. I went over to his house and his trash can's full of candy wrappers. That's bad for you, son. I know. That's why I like listening to candy, though. I went over to his house and his trash can's full of candy wrappers. That's bad for you, son. That's why I like listening to you, Joe, because it's like, I'm trying to get healthy, for real. I quit caffeine. I don't smoke. I don't drink. Because I don't want to die.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I work seven nights a week, man. Do you eat healthy? I do. I don't ever eat fast food. Ever. But you eat candy, which is just as bad. Well, Ari and I are trying to quit, so we cut one day out. I don't ever eat fast food. Ever. But you eat candy, which is just as bad. Well, Ari and I are trying to quit, so we cut one day out. I'm up to two days now, sometimes three. Yeah, sugar can be really addictive.
Starting point is 00:18:13 You know why it's brutal? Why? Because you've been doing it since you were two. You start drugs maybe when you're 18, 19, but two, your cereal's loaded. Your drinks are loaded. Your fucking bread's loaded. Fucking bread. Right? Yeah. The first day I quit smoking, I ate six packs of Mentos. Your cereal's loaded. Your drinks are loaded. Your fucking bread's loaded. Fucking bread.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Right? The first day I quit smoking, I ate six packs of Mentos. And now I have the hugest canker sore in my mouth. From Mentos? From just eating too much candy. Ew. It hurts really bad. I don't know if it's from that, though.
Starting point is 00:18:39 It could be with you. It could be from a lot of shit. Or it's vaginitis. Yeah, like, what are you, an analyst? Like, you've observed all your illnesses. Well, I know this one. This one came from Toronto. You don't know where these sores are coming from. They're just on your face.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Toronto. We're going to Toronto, man. Oh, shit. We'll be there next month. I love Toronto. Me too, right? The dudes up there. I did that room, and they were talking about you and they were like,
Starting point is 00:19:07 was the Epic Night the comedy underground there? Yeah, the pot club. Yeah, they had a picture of you in there and stuff. I've done it a few times. It's so good. That place is weird because it makes you realize you can get a secondhand buzz real easy. I used to think that getting high secondhand was bullshit. Not in that fucking room. No way. You go in that
Starting point is 00:19:28 room, you can't even see the back of the room, and the room's only 20 feet deep. You can't see it. It's weird in a cloud. It's one of the few places that actually made Doug Benson green out, where he passed out in the middle of the lobby, and then Tony Hinchcliffe
Starting point is 00:19:44 got off stage, and he took off his shirt and went outside and almost fell down oh my god i was headlining in there and i was doing an hour and i don't smoke weed and my 30 minutes in my throat was like someone shaved it with uh sandpaper yeah and then i was completely loaded and i was up there like, this is kind of cool, man. I don't even know where I'm at. Yeah, they can hotbox any person in the world. I mean, just the air in there, it's so THC filled. There's no real air in there.
Starting point is 00:20:13 None. None. No, it's all pot smoking. And now they're all doing that dabbing. So they're straight zombies too. That's crackhead. I mean, they are zombies. Explain dabbing. What's the difference between dabbing and smoking weed?
Starting point is 00:20:30 They get this... Wax. It's the wax, like the oil. It's like hash, exactly, but it's even stronger, they say. And then they've got this electrical fucking wand, and they kind of rub it over it, and then they suck in this... It's the worst. It's straight THC. There's no weed. and they kind of rub it over it and then they suck in this, you know, this like... It's the worst. It's straight THC. There's no weed.
Starting point is 00:20:47 How does the wave... What over it? It's pretty much exactly like smoking crack on aluminum foil, but it's in a nice glass thing, so you think it's not crack. Jamie, pull out a video of people dabbing. Have you ever had to take a hot knife hit on a hash or anything like that? Yes. It's doing the exact same thing. But way stronger. You know what I've seen?
Starting point is 00:21:06 This guy who was my, he wasn't even an agent. He was my, it wasn't my agent. He was my manager's friend who was also an agent. He lit some hash. He put hash on like a thumbtack. He put the piece of hash on the thumbtack, lit it on fire, and then put a glass oh yeah, and let it fill the glass up, and they lift a glass up mode I'll go great this guy's a drug addict. Yeah, that's all I could think of was this guy was a drug addict Yeah, I give you just lit a joint like I was just I didn't I had no idea what the fuck so
Starting point is 00:21:38 Fuck hash was back then and look at all the tools They carry a full briefcase with them of all these like preposterous like uh like ari and i were in sacramento at the punchline this guy goes come out to the car he opened his trunk and he had like a a dab center what is going on here so this guy's just hanging on there and she's sort of working it while he uh yeah she's burning it she's pretty much burning it but joe now they have state-of-the-art things. They're like an electric wand, and it rubs over it. There's no fire. It's like electric.
Starting point is 00:22:10 This is why potheads have a bad name. Exactly. This video. These guys waiting in line to get their brains obliterated. I think I told you this, Joe, that I recently was in San Francisco, and there was one of these places across the street from the comedy club, was in San Francisco and there was one of these places across the street from the comedy club and me, Tiffany
Starting point is 00:22:26 Haddish and Tony went across the street to check out this dab place and there was like half of the people were homeless that were just sitting there spending their money. That's like San Francisco anywhere though. Yeah, but it was like being in a crack house and it was just it looked like people were doing crack and people
Starting point is 00:22:42 were passed out like it was a crack house. But it's not the same thing because because crack is like an elevated thing. Like, you get whacked out, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this is just zombied from weed. Yep. Yeah, and they are really zombied, though, Joe. I'm talking about, you're looking at a guy two feet away, and you're going, this guy's fucking dead.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Yeah. And then once in a while, and you're doing comedy for them. You're doing comedy for the night of the living day. There's a place in North Hollywood. That's the spot. That's the spot where it's a dab bar, and then it's a comedy stage, and me and Freddie Lockhart. Yeah. You've got to try this place.
Starting point is 00:23:16 That's the dumbest fucking idea ever. It's the dumbest idea ever. So me and Freddie both took a hit, and then we walked outside, and it makes you cough. At least me. Me and Freddie coughed for like 30 minutes, and we couldn't even talk. We're like, oh, I can't breathe. And then we had to go on stage. Nobody was paying attention.
Starting point is 00:23:31 They were looking through you. Yeah. They were like figuring out, like talking to Jerry, and they had no idea what was going on. One guy was face down onto the stage in front of me, and I'm like, are we going to check on this guy? You know what I mean? No one cares. I'm up there doing dick jokes. It's amazing that pot really can't kill you.
Starting point is 00:23:52 If you had thought that with some of these dab guys, with some of these people that have these crazy contraptions, like these ridiculous vaporizers, somewhere along the line, someone must have fucking hit the wall. Nobody. Nobody. Ever. I felt like I was dying on weed many times. risers somewhere along the line someone must have fucking hit the wall you think nobody nobody ever i felt like i was dying on weed many times oh yeah i smoked weed about five six about seven
Starting point is 00:24:11 years ago i got back into weed big time before i started comedy and uh i was like whoa this is an 80s weed you know like one hit my heart would it's It's definitely a totally different experience. But apparently this kind of weed was available. Right. If you check the... There's been some scientists that have done some studies on the different strains and what the potency... Apparently there was some pretty fucking strong weed back in the day. Like Acapulco Gold, they used to call it.
Starting point is 00:24:42 You could get a hold of some really strong weed. But the strongest weed today is stronger than that, and that weed was rare. You'll get a hold of some today that's not that good, but most of the weed today is pretty fucking good.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Rarely you would get quality California weed back then. I just asked my uncle the same thing I was like, you know about it. He goes no there. It was available. I had heard of it Yeah, he's like I smoked weed every day and never saw it. I went to cannabis cup and and you they Take you out there and you can vote on the weed It's in Amsterdam once a year and then the winners it's a big deal because the winners sell these seeds for big money.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I was a judge. Oh, yeah, exactly. I was a judge at one in LA. I was obliterated. I had no idea what anything tasted like. Yeah, I smoked some shit. White Widow No. 5. Well, they gave me like a box.
Starting point is 00:25:39 You know all those things that people do for vitamins where they have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and it's all labeled on top and you pop up each individual. They had one of those filled with weed and they give it to you. Good fucking luck remembering what anything is. Yeah, the first three people you try won every year probably. Not even, man. It's like
Starting point is 00:25:57 relationships. It's like your friend. Like, oh, this is my friend's shit, man. They don't check to see if anybody... And it's also just random. It's fucking totally random. Yeah. I love Amsterdam. Some stuff does taste pretty good.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Some of it has a different kind of flavor to it, but not enough that you would award it anything. I'm a black hash guy. I love it more than anything. The taste is great. Black hash? Yeah. What's black hash? Just black hash.
Starting point is 00:26:24 It's like that oily black hash that's made out of the oil and you can kind of pull it off. You mean resin? No, it looks like a ball, like a tar ball. You peel a piece off it's like, tastes great man. And it's a different high. Yeah, well it's, when you're eating
Starting point is 00:26:39 hash, especially if you're eating it, even if you're smoking it, you're getting a different, it's like a vaporizer high more than it's like a joint high. Yeah, I like it better. Do you? Yeah, because I think it's more mellow for me, you know? It doesn't seem to grab me and go, your heart, you're shitting your pants. I always think I'm shitting my pants on weed.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Like, I feel like there's no feeling below. I usually feel the opposite. I feel like I's no feeling below. I usually feel the opposite. I feel like I have too much feeling going on. I'm too aware of all the different processes that are happening. I feel it all. But it does loosen up the bowels. It does get you where you want to take a giant shit. Scary.
Starting point is 00:27:18 When was the last time you smoked weed? Probably five years ago. Right when I started comedy, I realized I had to quit because it was wiping out my short-term memory. I'd be on stage, and I'd be like, fuck, what's next? I couldn't remember. Wow. I could not remember what was next, but I could remember 20 years ago. And this was no partying back then?
Starting point is 00:27:38 The drinking was done? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I stopped drinking in 92. No coke, no booze since 92. And that's all because of the throat. Yeah, pretty much. And then I realized I got to get my shit together.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I burned it up hard, Joe. I mean, hard. So guys like Paul Stanley, Paul Stanley never drank, right? No, he didn't. Those guys were clean dudes. But, you know, you can trash your voice. You've got to thank Paul every night. He's like, all right, are you ready?
Starting point is 00:28:07 That's all he ever does. Cold Jen. Yeah, when he's talking, he's like, I think it's time for some Cold Jen. Yeah. You know, and it's like, he never stops that. Yeah, you're right. That must be brutal on the neck. Way easier to sing now.
Starting point is 00:28:22 You've got in-ear monitors. There I am. There I am in the middle. Get the fuck out of here. That's me, Joe, with the bullet boys. Look at you. You ridiculous bitch, you. Oh my god. And then on the left, that's me with Tracy Guns from L.A. Guns. What do these
Starting point is 00:28:38 guys look like now? They look the same. Impossible. Fire up a photo, I think. I have a photo like two days later of L.A. Guns. Of Tracy. He does a podcast with me. Right there. There you go photo, I think. I have a photo like two days later. Of L.A. Guns? Of Tracy. He does a podcast with me. Right there. There you go.
Starting point is 00:28:49 There's us. There's Tracy on the left. That's the guy on the right from the Bullet Boys. They do not look the same. Well, I mean, they do. Not even remotely. Well, they got hats on. You need glasses.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Look at my shirt. Wright Snake. Stephen Wright. Wright Snake. That's hilarious. I fucking love Stephen Wright, man. Do you have the picture of you and Axl? Oh, yeah, that's that's on there I do have a Che Guevara tattoo on his chest I wonder how much he really knows about Che Guevara
Starting point is 00:29:16 There's a lot of people that got Che Guevara tattoos that didn't know a goddamn thing about Che Guevara They just wanted to look cool. I'm finding more old pictures of thing about Che Guevara. He just wanted to look cool. Are you finding more old pictures of him? Axl Rose is a really good picture. It's towards the beginning, if you're in my Instagram. The beginning of when it started?
Starting point is 00:29:35 My Instagram feed. Oh, when you first started it out. All right, Jamie will find it. Yeah, he'll get it. So you did it for all those years. You did music. And then what made you decide to do an open mic night? Well, what happened was I stopped playing music, basically, because once the downloading came in, the illegal downloading,
Starting point is 00:29:54 there was just no money for a mid-level musician anymore. Like, when I played music, you could play music for years and just be touring, like the jam bands, you know, like kind of Grateful Dead, Blues Traveler, Black Crows, that kind of thing, and make some money selling CDs and shirts. But once people just grabbed the CDs, it was out. Like, we'd come home, we'd be like, we got 400 bucks, we've been out three months. Wow. Yeah, so that's cool for me, but when you got band members with wives, they're like, hey, you've been gone for three months, yeah so that's cool for me but when you got band members with wives they're
Starting point is 00:30:26 like hey you've been gone for three months you have no money you know so i i stopped and i started working at harley harley davidson i was like i guess i'll just do this but when you've been on stage 25 years it starts to fuck with you you're like man i gotta be here at nine and then i gotta be here all day and what were you doing for harley selling bikes so you were like a bike salesman yeah over in van eyes wow i actually liked it but it was it it's just so different from was it the death of a dream like that kind of it really felt like that yeah I felt pretty I was really depressed and I was angry ooh yeah because I was just kind of like fuck these guys you know you got a guy come in you spend four or five hours with him you're on commission and then they go
Starting point is 00:31:17 somewhere else and they come over with their bike like hey man look I bought one they don't know that you're on commission I guess I went over there they had they they gave me a shirt and you're like fuck I made no money today you know yeah it really is that's annoying that's the annoying thing about being a salesman right it's brutal but there's your car comedy is a lot like sales, you know what I mean? Because you're constantly trying to get stage time, and with sales, you're constantly hoping somebody says yes. Being a salesman is weird, too,
Starting point is 00:31:55 because you're kind of a professional manipulator in a lot of ways. Oh, it's horrible. I told Burr this. I go, a lot of times you feel like a drug dealer because you're selling something to somebody that they're probably going to die on. You know what I mean? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:32:09 Because they just don't know how to ride. Oh, yeah. And you're just, they're like, yeah, you took to school, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. And they're lying and they just roll out and you go, that guy has no idea. He's on two wheels and he's going on to Van Nuys Boulevard right now.
Starting point is 00:32:27 You get that one of the most brutal streets. Dude, I've been watching so many, ever since I got rear-ended the other day, I've been watching so many people texting in their fucking car. Oh. God damn. Folks got to stop doing that. It's brutal. Ugh.
Starting point is 00:32:39 It's brutal. Everybody thinks they can pull it off. And you see people doing this as they're driving, looking down, looking up, looking down, looking up, like, fuck. The amount of time you cover while you're looking down, going straight forward before you look up again, you're talking about sometimes 20, 30 feet. Bang. At a time. And that's 20, 30 feet that you didn't hit the brakes.
Starting point is 00:32:58 That something popped up in front of you and it's too late and boom, old lady's flying through the air. She just walked out into traffic yeah man i mean even even when you're not texting how many times on on the one-on-one are you like whoa fuck whoa shit look at this whoa and now you're adding texting into it i watched some lady with a kid in her car today she was doing that thing that sometimes people they take driving and they it turns into like a. Like they try to like get in front of the car to the left. It was a two lane road. And she was trying to get in front of, there was a guy to my right and there was a guy that was in front of us. There was like a little bit of gap between me and him.
Starting point is 00:33:36 And she was trying to speed and get into that gap. And right when she was trying to speed, someone else came into her lane. They weren't paying attention. Right when she was trying to speed, someone else came into her lane. They weren't paying attention. She had a kid in her car. And she had to slam on the brake and go flying into the side of the road. Emergency roll. And I watched her do it.
Starting point is 00:33:52 And I watched her afterwards. She was touching the kid's chest and talking to him, trying to console him. Because the kid freaked out. Because she didn't need to do it. There was no reason to do it. And she drove normal after that. She was behind me the entire way. I kept an eye on her. But I was like, this was just like a game. And she drove normal after that. She was behind me the entire way. I kept an eye on her.
Starting point is 00:34:06 But I was like, this was just like a game. She wanted to make that gap. Some girl, I was on Laurel Canyon, and she came right up to me, like right onto my ass and started flashing her lights. I'm like, what the fuck is this lady doing? And then she tries to pass me and then pushes me off the side of the road as
Starting point is 00:34:22 another car starts coming. Then she slams on a brake, goes behind me. I'm like, what the fuck? She literally tried another car starts coming. Then she slams on her brake, goes behind me. I'm like, what the fuck? She literally tried to sideswipe me. And then she gets ahead of me and kept on slamming on her brakes and brake checking me. So finally, by the way, this is all on Periscope. I finally...
Starting point is 00:34:37 He's Periscoping. He's Periscoping his shits. I have her sailing up here. Yeah, you wonder why she wanted to get past you. She's like, look at this guy. No, no. Asshole, periscoping. I have a dash mount, so it's just sitting there.
Starting point is 00:34:50 But then we get to a stoplight, and I pull up next to her. I roll down my window. I'm like, what the fuck is your problem? And it's a girl with her hair really short, and she's sitting there like that. And she takes off in front of me, and then brakes, checks me. I'm like, what the fuck? Second light, same thing. I roll down. Hey, hey, you, you. and she takes off in front of me and then breaks checks me i'm like what the uh second light same thing i rolled down hey hey you you and she rolls out the window gives me this smirk like
Starting point is 00:35:10 she's like like that and then when it turns right she just tries to side slam me again you should run into her and then kill her i know let me get out of the car and then periscope it well i got her license plate periscope murder i got her license plate number and i realized do you know how easy it is to get people's information from a license plate? I had no idea. It's just a $40 Google search. So what's her name?
Starting point is 00:35:31 What's this gal's name? Her sweetheart. She's really hot though. Is she? She gets a pass. She gets a pass? She gets a pass! You're so weak.
Starting point is 00:35:41 You will live your life in torture And you will never learn She gets a pass Her bone structure gives her a pass She's like half Japanese half Mexican What the fuck That's a great combo What is wrong with you son Yeah somebody
Starting point is 00:35:59 Sideswiped my car the other day $7000 worth of damage to my car Just parked in front of my street And I had a drop cam that faces my front of my house yeah and so i caught i caught the person like driving by and it was so fast that i couldn't even see anything it was just like they hit the car behind me hit my car and was going someone hammered probably 80 miles an hour yeah this happens like once every three months i'll drive down one of these little side streets. I was on Van Owen.
Starting point is 00:36:27 And Van Owen had this car that someone obviously hit full speed in the rear. And it was parked on the side of the road because people were texting or they're drunk or they fall asleep or something. And those cars that are parked, every couple months I'll see one just caved in on the side of the road. And you know, someone just drove along and probably was like looking down at a booty call. Bam! Fuck! Did you see that woman that passed out? Like a month ago, she passed out in the middle of the highway.
Starting point is 00:36:55 And she just fell asleep, like in a lane. And the cop is like pounding on the window. And she won't wake up. And so he had to, I think he broke the window or something like that. I can't remember. So did she crash somewhere? No, she just stopped in the middle of the highway. Just took a nap.
Starting point is 00:37:10 And cars were like full stream going. She stopped? Yeah. Did she park it? Here it is right here. Turn up the volume. Oh, man. It's on a freeway.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Look, her car's moving. She passed out behind the wheel of that car. 10 News breaking news tracker had the only camera there as that officer ran alongside the car in the 805, breaking that window to get the driver to wake up and get her to...
Starting point is 00:37:31 What the fuck? Oh, that is rad. ...CHP officer. He's risking his life here. It's on a freeway. A woman has passed out behind the wheel of that car. I guarantee you,
Starting point is 00:37:40 somewhere, there's a dude that is like, I told you. I fucking told you. I told you that bitch is crazy. That's why we broke up. She's pretty cute, though.
Starting point is 00:37:53 I'd give her a pass. That's okay, honey. Listen, you just need a driver. I remember I was watching TMZ. I hate you, Uber. I was watching TMZ and they're like, Rockstar crashes into nine cars in Hollywood Hills. I was like TMZ. Scoober, I'll get you Uber. I was watching TMZ, and they're like, Rockstar crashes into nine cars in Hollywood Hills. I was like, I've got to see this.
Starting point is 00:38:09 I'm laughing, and then I knew the guy. Oh, no. Who was it? It was this guy, Casey, from this band, Amen. They're kind of a punk metal band. But I guess he was drunk, and he hit a car, and then he backed up to try to get away, and the front tire came off and he didn't know
Starting point is 00:38:26 She's pressing the gas and the car just drove right into all the other cars because he had no steering It's just unbelievable that you're expected to drive to bars and then figure out how to get home That's ridiculous the fact that everywhere you look, they're handing out one of the most ridiculous drugs. It happens to you almost instantly. Take a shot of Jack Daniels. Within 10 minutes, you're fucking trash. How is a bottle of wine legal?
Starting point is 00:38:56 That's like five glasses of wine. That's way beyond the legal limit for two people in a dinner an hour. And you always hear this i only had wine i love when they say that yeah if two people are just sitting at a dinner table drinking wine yeah and it's a bottle and you finish the bottle off you're both hammered yeah yeah you can't drive no everywhere you look people are driving drunk everywhere you look yeah friday and saturday night you know go to a comedy show any comedy show and those people sit there offer to order two three four drinks and they get out of there and they drive
Starting point is 00:39:28 yep it's like for for cops it must be like the easiest pickings ever on friday and saturday shooting ducks in a barrel they have they have those new uh things that you for your iphone though it's like a breathalyzer for your iphone yeah so you can just sit there and just check every you know there's gonna be a steering wheel thing now There's a new steering wheel that they've developed. It's gonna know if you're drunk. Well, yeah, it was just see if you find the story It was just great being handed around Jesus today on Social media, so that's gonna be able to drive anywhere. I'll be stuck at Applebee's, you know, it's gonna be like man It's gonna be like the steroid test for the UFC no they would not have
Starting point is 00:40:16 a case of beer and two shots of fire but no they definitely would not what they would do is everybody would be hiring their little brothers and sisters to drive them around. Look at the quiz on the right side. Does Bigfoot exist? Put it down. That's the type of people that are re-organizing the story. What is that? YKYT?
Starting point is 00:40:38 Or WKYT? What is that? Mountain News? Oh my God. What's the poll result? No is 73%. 8.4% is not sure. Not sure? I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Those are the ones that are tuned in to Survivorman Bigfoot right now. Oh, man. I don't know. God. When they asked Les about the footage, he said no one really knows whether or not that's Bigfoot. That's enough for me. That's enough for me. I might look like a dude in a monkey mask, but I'm telling you what.
Starting point is 00:41:06 I love that Bigfoot thing because do you see the guys that they said they're the ones that did that photo in 72 or whatever? Well, this is Patterson Gimlin footage. There's a guy named Bob Hieronymus. He's the guy who wore the Bigfoot footage. You can see there's videos of him walking next to the actual footage of Bigfoot. He walked just like that fucking guy in the monkey suit. Jamie, what are you doing? You showed it to us?
Starting point is 00:41:28 You pulled it down? The video won't play. It won't load? Dang. You know what this is? That's legit Bigfoot. That is Bigfoot's actual foot. Totally real.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Don't fucking hate, bro. I'm not. I grew up in the 70s. I love that stuff that Leonard Nimoy would do like oh yeah in search of yeah remember he did the Noah's Ark one oh yeah he actually did the full movies you could go I went to the drive-in and saw the Noah's Ark one and the UFO one oh here it is drunk driver detector so how does this work according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
Starting point is 00:42:07 approximately 10,000 people are killed by drunk drivers annually in the U.S. Look at this. The long arm of the law is handcuffing this young man and taking him to the slammer. Research is developing two detective methods for the driver alcohol detection system. One method allows the car to analyze a driver's exhaled breath for alcohol content see that's annoying yeah because i had a friend who got a dui and they made him do that oh they're gonna have like a breath you see that yeah yeah it just it just smells your breath another method shines an infrared light into your fingertips and it reads it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:42:51 It was used alcohol limit of 0.08 blood alcohol content as its standard. It used to be 09, right? No, 1. It was 1 when I was growing up. Parents could, hmm. I wonder why they made it. Money. Make money.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Do you think that's what it is or do you think it's because they realize that more people are actually crashing like that there must be some scientific basis for the 1 to 0.08 isn't there i don't know but it seems to me that you should be able to go in and take a test like uh weed smokers yeah well and be like well i've been drinking 25 years so my limit should be higher no but the problem with that is then you're going to push it even further. The guys are going to go, look, I did the legal limit. I do three shots. I can handle five. Come on.
Starting point is 00:43:29 And you'll just keep pushing it. But if you know that if you piss or you blow an 08, you're fucked. Yeah. Then you're not going to get drunk. Nope. Or if you do, you can't really argue about it. I used to do these open mics, Joe, and this girl had the breathalyzer on her car and she would pay guys to go out
Starting point is 00:43:48 and breathe in her ride so she could drive home because she would be drunk. Like, what are you doing? So it looks like this is 98. In March of 98, President Clinton called for the promotion of a national legal limit under which it would be illegal per se to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol
Starting point is 00:44:03 concentration of.08 or higher across the country, including federal property. Wow. He was just trying to get people to not pay attention to his extra credit. Blood jobs. Freak. Dirty freak. That guy. That guy.
Starting point is 00:44:20 That was the last of the real ones. Yeah. The last of the ones that I can fucking relate to. The real presidential dick slingers. I can't wait for him to be back. Was Hillary? Yeah. You think Hillary's going to win?
Starting point is 00:44:32 Oh, yeah. A hundred percent. Really? No, I don't think so. I don't think so. They did some polls, man. After the emails and stuff, people are just like, no. First of all, people were looking for a reason to not like her because she's a woman.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Let's just get that out of the way and uh the fact that she's a woman that's also a clinton and it's a clinton versus a bush people are fucking totally tired of this dynasty thing that's been going on for the past x amount of decades where they're just going back and forth bush to bush to bush i mean the the idea of a jeb bush being president after his brother fucked everything up and then his dad fucked everything up before that and If that's not our option then the Clinton option and it's Hillary and he'll you know Hillary is she's tied to a bunch of shady Fucking things. Yeah. Oh god. Yes that property stuff. Yeah the whitewater thing from back in Yeah, that think that is Arkansas the Vince Foster thing. There's a lot of like weird shit
Starting point is 00:45:24 But that's the case with anybody that's involved in high-level politics like that. They got some shit on you before you ever even get in there. Otherwise, you don't get in there. Yeah, you can't be a politician and be clean. That's impossible. There's no way. You literally can't get to the highest level where you're running for president unless you've been completely compromised by special interest groups. That's the only way.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Those campaign contributions are critical. And you have to sit down with those fucking corporation owners and the CEOs and they figure out what the fuck is going to go down. Like how laws are going to be structured, what influence is going to get them if this person gets into office. They're not ambiguous about it. No. Like, maybe I can help you if I get in.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Give me a million bucks. Maybe I can help you. They know that this guy is going to make either regulations more relaxed or figure out how to push things through or figure out. That's what politics are. It's all money now. Absolutely. It's the whole ball of wax.
Starting point is 00:46:22 When they talk about the amount of time that a guy actually spends campaigning and trying to raise money, as opposed to how much time they spend on actual work, it's astounding. Campaigning is all about raising money. Their whole thing is about raising money and occasionally giving speeches. That's crazy, right? It's fucked. It's just whoever gets the most money wins. Not only that, you would have to have some insane amount of money spent just to try to
Starting point is 00:46:50 make it into those debates, just to try to get into debates. The Commission for Presidential Debates is a privately owned corporation or a privately owned institution. You can't just get in the debate. You can't say, hey, I'm Dean Del Rey and I've got some pretty good ideas and I'd like to run for president. No. You have to get more than, I believe, 15% on five different polls and it's the polls
Starting point is 00:47:15 that they choose. They can cherry pick. Say if you're a guy like a Ross Perot type guy that might fuck things up for them. Yep. They didn't anticipate that when Ross Perot came around. And he spent a shitload of his own money to try to run for president and ruined all their plans. So right away afterwards, they monkeyed with the numbers and changed things and made it
Starting point is 00:47:35 even more difficult for an independent person to debate in the presidential elections. So to the average American, there's only two choices. You see those two assholes on television. You have your Republican debates and you have your Democratic debates. And then when it breaks down to those two guys, those are the only two people running for president as far as you know. That's it. Yeah. That's it.
Starting point is 00:47:55 That's a broken system. Like, I'm 49. How old are you, Joe? 47. I'll be 48 in August. Do you remember a good president? Yeah. Well, Clinton was good.
Starting point is 00:48:05 People liked Clinton until he got caught getting a blowjob. Carter. Carter, man. Carter's a sweetie. Yeah, I love Carter. He smoked weed with, what, Elvis on the roof? That's cool. Did he?
Starting point is 00:48:16 Yeah, at the White House. That's what they say. I don't know. I never heard that. Yeah. That's one of those fucking... I've never heard that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Google that. I've seen it. Rainbow bar and grill famous stories. No, I think it was like in an Elvis book or something. Who told you motorheads did he tell you over a plate of spaghetti hey one time i met elvis he said he smoked weed with jimmy dean was it you that told me the the the classic ron jeremy story about the rainbow and his sleeping no Supposedly he's a narcoleptic. Ron Jeremy?
Starting point is 00:48:49 He just falls asleep all the time. Supposedly he was at the rainbow and I forget who told me the story. He says they looked over and Ron just went right in his spaghetti and fell asleep in his spaghetti. Somebody put him up and he had spaghetti all over him and stuff but oh here it is oh willie uh willie nelson and chip carter chip car smoked a joint
Starting point is 00:49:11 together on the white house oh see see how the story changes though that's not see how the story changes yeah boy that's how that game of telegram telephone works yeah right it was like so chip carter's jimmy carter's son is that what? Must be, right? That's not the one that... Why isn't Chip Carter running? What's he doing? Yeah. Remember Billy Bill? His brother had Billy Beer. Yeah, Billy Carter was a mess. And didn't Clinton have a fucking mess
Starting point is 00:49:36 of a brother, too? They both had a mess of a brother. God, that's classic, right? Yeah. The mess brother that almost ruins it for everybody. Have you smoked any of the willie weed he's got his own weed now no everyone has everyone has a skin diamond has their own leader there's like four different strains named after me i don't know i had one of them i mean yeah this you can't like whatever the willie nelson weed is he probably has nothing
Starting point is 00:50:02 to do with it yeah it's just they're paying him j him. Jimmy Carter was one of the guys that I was, I remember being young and listening to him talk, and I believed him. He seemed sincere in a way that a lot of these guys just don't. Some guys just, they seem so phony. Carter, whether or not you agree with him or disagree with him, he seems sincere. He seems sincere. And then it always bugged me that the Republicans had negotiated to release the hostages in Iran after Reagan was in office. So they had made it a part of the negotiation to not release those people. To make them look like a hero.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Right. But that means that those people had to stay prisoner longer. Just for politics. Yeah. I mean, the Republicans at the time should have stay prisoner longer. Just for politics. Yeah. I mean, the Republicans at the time should have been shunned just for that. Someone should have pointed that out if they could prove it. If that was true. I don't know if that is true. That might be one of those Jimmy Carter on the roof with Elvis.
Starting point is 00:50:59 70s was wild, right? He did heroin with Hendrix. It was actually Maroon 5 doing whippets. You remember those gas wars, Joe? It was Green Day. With the odd and even plates, you could only buy gas every other day, whatever your last number on your license plate was. No, I don't remember that.
Starting point is 00:51:17 That was crazy. Was that out here? Oh, yeah. Where'd you grow up? I was the East Coast. It was in California, odd and even plates. I thought it was across the nation, but you could only buy gas on every other day if whatever your last number on your license plate was.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Hmm. You know, it's like gas wars. It makes no sense at all. What if you just happen to run out of gas? You couldn't get that. You just can't do anything? Well, it was during that whole... Well, that was when they started making those really economical cars.
Starting point is 00:51:44 It was when they were trying to figure out the Saudi oil situation. Yeah, they were trying... That's when cars turned to shit. Exactly. American cars went from being these awesome beasts to these dog shit cars. Dog shit cars. The 70s to the 60s. 60s to the 70s is the worst drop off of American cars ever.
Starting point is 00:52:03 It took us until like the 2000s before we were covered. Yeah. Yeah. Like, remember the Mustang II? Oh, what a piece of shit. All those Mustangs from the late 70s into the 80s were dog shit. Four-cylinder Mustang? Dog shit.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Oh, the worst. Ugly, plastic nonsense. You go back to like a 69 Mach 1, just look at one of those, and then look at what happened in the 80s. Like, how did you guys fall so far off? How did you do this? Isn't that crazy? Because those Mach 1s are beautiful, man. All those old cars.
Starting point is 00:52:32 To this day. They might not be the most ergonomic. They might not be the best as far as the wind resistance and all that shit, but as far as the looks, they nailed it. I had a Dodge Superbee 70. Oh, that was a great car.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Yeah, I'm selling it right now for my buddy. I sold it to him 13 years ago. Now he's selling it. He's had it forever. Is there a listing for it? We'll get it sold right now. Oh, yeah. Where's the listing?
Starting point is 00:52:57 Just email me, Dean Del Rey. Oh, don't say it. Don't say it. Jesus Christ. You're going to get a fucking tsunami of black dicks. Oh, God damn. Thanks for warning me. Did not send black dicks to that email.
Starting point is 00:53:11 You almost did it. You almost released your email address. Yeah, I think there's a picture of it on my Instagram, though. It says B5 Blue, and it's got the C stripe and the crazy hood. And it's just, when you look at those cars and think that you could walk into a car lot in 70 and go, let me get that race car. Well, that's what they're doing today. Yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:53:31 I love the Hellcat. All these cars today, they're way better. This is the first time where the new American cars, the way they drive is so much better than the old ones. But still, the old ones, they still look better. They still look better. There's something about them. Like a 69 Camaro, there's something about it.
Starting point is 00:53:46 It's just like you can't beat it. It has that classic muscle car look. I love that car with the hideaway headlights, the four on the floor. You had the TikTok gauges and the wood dash and wood steering wheel, right? And the console. I had to have a console, man. Fuck yeah. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:54:03 Just derr! The console. The console and 8- a console, man. Fuck yeah. Yeah, where I just... Console. Console and 8-track player, man. Those cars, they just nailed it. They nailed it for between 65 and... It's tough to go after 73. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:15 73 Kudas are still badass. Yeah. 73, I think they still made a Challenger in 73, but everything else was dog shit. That was the end. And the cars had already lost their power. They were already butchering the power on them. But 70s, like, God, it's the last hurrah. 79's my car.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I love the 69 Super B with the 446 pack and the pistol grip shifter. Yeah, by the time 70 rolled around, Mustang had already taken a downturn. That's true. They already started to look weird and then but the but the but but by the time 70 rolled around the the cuda was just getting started yes kill cuz the cuda sucked before 70 oh is that sure I had the cuda the first one where was the raccoon yeah and it was shorter and funky then they dumped the bear and make it longer they dump the Barra and make it longer. They make a big body, and it's killer.
Starting point is 00:55:07 But they only nailed it for three years. Can you imagine that? They went 70 to 73. And then everything after that, it's gone. That's true. Barracuda had it. That was the last spark of the muscle car. That was the last remaining era.
Starting point is 00:55:20 And sometimes you'll see one go for a million bucks. Like a Hemi Cuda convertible purple made three, $1 million. More. More, yeah. More now. Yeah, on Barrett Jackson, more. Now they're going for more. I know private collections that they sell.
Starting point is 00:55:34 They have like this RK Motors in Charlotte. They have this big website filled with them. And they had one on sale for more than a million bucks. That's crazy, right? Numbers matching ones, yeah. I love that shit, man. I'll talk to Burr for hours on cars. We're just nuts, man.
Starting point is 00:55:48 I'm just like, this one. And I'll send him a photo in the middle of the night, and he'll be like, nah, this one. Yeah. Well, Corvette had some good years after 69. They had like the 70 Vette was still, those stingrays, they still were pretty badass. I love that car. 73 is the last year on that. Once they get rid of that steel bumper, it's out.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Yeah. You know? That's the same thing. Yeah, exactly. 73 was the last acceptable year for a muscle car. Yeah. Isn't that weird? That is weird.
Starting point is 00:56:14 You try to sell someone a 75 muscle car, good luck. I'll tell you what I do love, Joe. Get that hard guy shit away from me. Nobody wants it. I love the 78 Trans Am 6.6. You got me. That's true true that's true that's true that's the only car though in the 70s the burt reynolds is that website i bought it this is where i bought my corvette oh my god look at that 68 ford shelby right there the black one

What? How dare you? Well, I'd get a new car for that. Those stock ones drive like shit, though. I know, but you just have it for the... Look at that, $427,000. See where it says pro-touring?
Starting point is 00:56:58 Yeah. Those pro-touring cars, what that means is they take an old muscle car and they put the most modern suspension on it. Right. Like Chip Foose, right? They handle. Well, Chip is more of a designer. And, you know, Chip does a lot of different modifications to cars to make them look cool.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Look at that 70 Chevelle Supersport. Wow. You see that? 149 convertible. Click on that, motherfucker. Scroll down. Look at this. 70 Chevelle convertible.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Good Lord, that makes my dick hard look at that l88 look at that fucking car i love the 13 mile yeah and the restart oh my god look at the l88 hood that's my favorite look at that fucking car can we see the interior like please have that console that's like a perfect combination too too, of the wheels. The wheels are like, they're modern wheels. Oh, look at this. That's vintage air. Oh, look at the radios. Dope.

Starting point is 00:58:37 Look at that. That's a 6.2 liter V8 from a Corvette. Oh. Joe, is it hard not to just buy every single car on this thing? I know, right? Yeah, you got to be an adult. adult Joe you pulled out of the store with that Man I would just fuck it Have you seen my Corvette? No
Starting point is 00:58:52 My Corvette's cooler than that What year? 65 65 pro touring convertible The entire suspension's redone Fully independent suspension Silver But I sent it down to Steve Strope. Steve Strope is this hot rod builder in California,
Starting point is 00:59:10 and I had him change some things on it, and they improved the suspension. That's the kind, like that one right there, the 64, that's exactly like mine. Oh, yeah, my dad had 65, sold it when I was born in 66. I got a photo of it, him and my mom in front of it. They're, my dad had 65. Sold it when I was born in 66. I got a photo of it. Him and my mom in front of it. They're the best. I'll send you the photo and you can look at it. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I'll bring that car to the store when it's finished. It's almost done now. I love those. They were called the Black Widow, the one on the left. The 64 with the... Yeah, go to that one. I love that car. I love that car. They're such radical designs.

How come they don't do that at all? They do sort of, dude. Pull up the 2015 Corvette Z06. Love it. Check this out because this right now is a
Starting point is 01:00:01 new car that Corvette has created that is as fast as a lot of cars that cost a million bucks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's beating the Ferrari. It's an insane car. This is an insane car. I mean, you probably have to spend a million bucks to beat it.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yeah. Look at this. Go to the blue. That's the B5 blue. I love that. Next one over. Right there, the light blue. You got a gay taste in college, son.
Starting point is 01:00:23 What? You don't like that? I'm going to start drinking again, Dean. No, that looks pretty dope. The actual car itself in the little swatch looks gross. Yeah, yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Oh, yeah, it does. But pull up a video of one of these because once you see it in action, that's where it's ridiculous. Oh, look at that. This is a 600 horsepower
Starting point is 01:00:39 race car that you can buy straight from the factory. How much is it? It's only like $80,000. It's less than $80,000. Yeah. I mean, you can get one stripped out for like $80,000. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:53 And it'll bury like most really high-end sports cars. It's insane. It's insane. This is the race version you're looking at, Jamie. This is the development of the actual race version. Go to a YouTube video, and you can see a guy, he's racing one on the quarter mile. Jay Leno's Garage. Go to Jay Leno's Garage. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:10 That's not good for us. There you go, right there. Oh, because it'll get us banned? We'll just watch it. Okay, we'll just watch it without showing it to the rest of the world. But these... Look at him. See it?
Starting point is 01:01:19 Look at the torque. Wow, look at that. Yeah. Well, this is the problem with this car, that bums me out is that they're making this thing with an automatic the old z06 and the zr1 the only way you could get it was it had to be a stick shift i love the zr1 fucking man remember that one they made shifting or even a woman a woman is exciting they made one like five years ago uh zR1. It was blue with the glass top, and they only made like 50 of them. And that thing was insane.
Starting point is 01:01:48 It was like the next level. Well, ZR1's been around for a long time. They've made it for a long time, but it was only available in a stick. Jay Leno would never buy anything other than a stick because he's a fucking man. Yeah. And he wears jean shirts in 2015. Look at him. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Right there, jean shirt. He's got one style of shirt that he allows himself. Hey, guys. This is a ZR1. It's pretty fast. Come on, guys. Got tires?
Starting point is 01:02:12 Don't get it twisted. I don't give a fuck if I get late. I'm here to make the guys feel comfortable. My sleeves are rolled up because I work hard at the garage.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Do you notice once he stopped TV, he got rid of that black dot that was in the middle of his head? Yeah, he started freaking out and he went totally gray. It's called dying. He got older. But yeah, I'm doing his show.
Starting point is 01:02:36 I'm doing his show. It was supposed to have already happened, but that dude rear-ended me. He's got a, Joe, he's got a 36 knucklehead, which is considered the best harley of all time i watched footage of him last week driving it riding it all originally never restored it he found it in a barn it didn't start it for like 20 years and decided let's try that thing out and he started up and took it for a ride and i lose my mind when i see it. 36 knuckle. It's a one-year motorcycle.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Wow. And he has it. See if you can look at that real quick. Well, hold on a second. Let it transcend. While we're still on it, this car is the 1965. And while we're on this video, before we change, this is the 1965 of 2015. I mean, this car, when all is said and done, and people look back in the golden era of muscle cars,
Starting point is 01:03:27 they came back in a big way. Like, the new Mustangs. Have you seen the new Shelby? I love it. The 2015 Shelby 350, the GT350. It's insane. It's a beautiful car. They were doing the sound of it yesterday on Yahoo.
Starting point is 01:03:42 They said it was the best exhaust note ever done. And you listen to it and you just go, listen to this car. Let's pull that up. Shelby GT350, 2015. It's incredible. It might be a 16 because it's not released yet. Yeah, it's not out yet. Have you seen the 2015 Sienna, Toyota Sienna?
Starting point is 01:03:59 No, pull up the exhaust note. The exhaust note. The sound that he just heard. Yeah. It's great. They call it the greatest. It wouldn't be November 17th because you said it just came out, right? Yeah, it was yesterday on, like, Yahoo.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah, try Yahoo. Yahoo. Is that it? Dude, noise regulations in America. Ford was not able to make the G250 Scream at the top Let's try that What does that say? Exhaust modes
Starting point is 01:04:31 You can change the Let's hear it We're such losers Yeah What's that? What's that? Oh my God. That sounds like a dragon. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Oh, that's when you open up the sport valve. Whoa! Whoa! Oh, my God. God, that is weak. Whoa. That's some muscle, man. That's one of the greatest sounds a muscle car has ever made. Listen to that.
Starting point is 01:05:23 See, women... Oh, my God. That's a of the greatest sounds a muscle car has ever made. Listen to that. See, women... Oh, my God. That's a goddamn dragon. That's a dragon. And there you go. That's glorious. Oh, my God. That's glorious. Sounds don't get better than that.
Starting point is 01:05:35 That's so great, man. That's rock and roll. And I'm pretty sure they only make that one in a stick shift. Praise Allah. Yeah, yeah, right. Praise Odin. Praise Thor. You can't be making that fucking thing in an automatic.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Just stop. Learn how to drive a stick. People don't appreciate what the fuck you're doing now. In LA, man, stick sucks. What is this talk? What is this talk, son? Of course it's not as fun in bumper-to-bumper traffic, but bumper-to-bumper traffic sucks
Starting point is 01:06:04 no matter what you do. If you're only going to have one car that you drive around and you want total convenience, yes, automatic. But if you want to be a fucking man, you get yourself a goddamn stick shift and you deal with it. You just deal with that bumper-to-bumper. I drove stick in San Fran, man. Good for you.
Starting point is 01:06:20 On those hills? On the hills, you just learn, man. Pretend you were Steve McQueen? Yeah, a few times just drunk, jumping hills. Oh, that's right. Hey, I was in Echo Park last week. They got hills over there. I've never been.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Three streets, they say, are the tallest hills in California above San Fran. Really? You can't even see down. I was like, holy shit. I was on my bike. I was like, this is scary ass shit in echo park three hills i've never been there ever i just i always find it hilarious when you see those houses in san francisco that literally have to be smushed up next to each other because they're
Starting point is 01:06:56 both leaning sideways on this fucking hill trying to stay straight connected to each other and the way like the hill is and then the the the bottom of the house is it's like a triangle To wedge it in like when you look at the actual frame of the house and the way the you know the foundation is Wedged into the hill you like this is ridiculous. Can you imagine building the house crazy? It's like no one's gonna buy these and they all sell and then the other problem is if one of them catches on fire Oh done. It goes right through all the houses because these fucking assholes are glued next to each other.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah, absolutely. They have bad fires, man. San Francisco has some bad fires. They got a history of it. I mean, that 89 earthquake, the entire marina burned down to the ground because that was built on landfill sand. And then the earth moved and the house is
Starting point is 01:07:45 sunk and the gas lines cracked and the whole thing went up in flames how long did that took like over a day to just put out the fire yeah the whole place was burning to the ground 89 imagine what that looked like before CNN imagine whole they had CNN back there they did yeah I watched it on TV bridge over and over when it drops down and the car falls. Yeah, I watched that live from Boston. That's when I was like, fuck California. That's me too.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Before I had moved here. Oh, man. I remember that quake. It felt like an actual, it wasn't a quake where you're like, whoa, this is a big one. It was more like waves. So I was watching the 89 World Series. It was Giants A's. First time ever.
Starting point is 01:08:30 You're like, this is going to be great. Bay Bridge World Series. And I come out of the living room, and the fucking floor is going like this. And I was like, whoa, what? And then you realize what's going on. Here's the Oakland Bay Bridge collapse. That fucking brutal. That fucking scared me as a kid.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Dude, that shit is real right there. Look at that. Right there. And then the lady drove off. So the lady drove off the top? Yeah, she was on the top, and then the thing dropped, and she went down. I think the other piece crunched people below. Fuck.
Starting point is 01:09:02 That's brutal. You know somewhere someone skimped on some fucking construction costs oh yeah right that bridge is gone now right it's gone uh no that part is that's the first part oh no that's gone yeah that's gone the first part's a suspended bridge and the new part the new part's cool you seen it joe the new bridge yeah no i don't think so it's incredible attention it's like super art deco when i lived in san francisco i was i lived there from age 7 to 11 i experienced the tiniest little baby earthquake where the windows rattled and i freaked out because i was a little kid you lived there as a kid yeah from 7 to 11 whoa that's right yeah
Starting point is 01:09:41 what were your parents doing there my dad was was, my stepdad, when I was a kid, was a computer programmer and then he wanted to be an architect. So we moved from New Jersey to California and lived in San Francisco for those five years. And when I was here, I was always scared of it, but that one little one, it was just a little baby one, just enough to rattle the windows. And I remember like, whoa, just this feeling of helplessness and weirdness and then i didn't experience an actual one and even that was a baby one until 94 i was here after the big earthquake and i've experienced some aftershocks i was in this shitty apartment in north hollywood and i remember the feeling that you know those refrigerator boxes? Like someone would buy a refrigerator
Starting point is 01:10:25 and then the kids would play in the box. Breakdance on it. But you know how the box, like it would just move like really weakly. You could push it back and forth. That's what the apartment felt like. It felt like a refrigerator box. I was like, this is crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Because I was in North Hollywood, which isn't too far from Northridge. That was the epicenter, right? Yeah. And this shitty apartment that I was in was just made out of fucking hopes and dreams and cardboard.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Sliding back and forth. And then I've experienced a couple that are similar to that, like five and a half, 5.4 or something like that. But I've never experienced a real one. The real ones are supposed to be life changing. Did you see that movie yet? I saw it. I love The Rock, but I'm not going to go see it.
Starting point is 01:11:05 I saw it. Life is precious. I'm trying to limit my movie going to movies that don't suck. I saw a good movie yesterday. What did you see? The one about Brian Wilson. The Beach Boys one. What is it?
Starting point is 01:11:18 What's it called? It's called Love and Mercy. And it's the kid from There Will Be Blood and Little Miss Sunshine, the guy that didn't talk on that movie. He plays Brian Wilson. And it's about the era of smile and pet sounds. It's so cool. Smile and pet sounds. Those are the two.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Pet sounds was the record that the Beatles said, oh, my God, we got to make Sergeant Peppers. Oh, really? Beatles said oh my god we got to make Sergeant Peppers because it was like a one man genius basically heard all these sounds in his fucking head and made this record Pet Sounds a Beach Boys record after they're like we're surfing they get into this dark crazy
Starting point is 01:11:58 record one guy I never knew that one guy Brian Wilson the other guys were out on tour I never knew that. Yeah. One guy. Well, Brian Wilson. It was his vision. Yeah, and the other guys were out on tour, and he was like, you guys go out on tour, and I'll just make a record, and when you come back, you'll sing on it. And he just made this fucking legendary record of layered sounds and instruments, and it's
Starting point is 01:12:22 really insane. What should we listen to? What song? Let me see the track list. It's that I would do anything. God Only Knows. Right there.
Starting point is 01:12:36 That's the one right there. That's really the one they... Is that it right there? That's God Only Knows? Yeah. So you can see where Beatles get started to Peppers. Wow, this is the Beach Boys? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:52 It's arguably one of the top five albums of all time. Really? Yeah. Really? Yeah, and he took acid, and he starts taking acid. Why have I never heard of this before? It's incredible, Jeff. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:13:09 It's so good. It's weird. Yeah, YouTube might not like this either, so be careful. Yeah, YouTube is probably not going to like this. I'm sure those guys get fucked over. I'll give you a copy of it, Joe. It's great, man. 66, huh?
Starting point is 01:13:23 Yeah. Give me a copy. What are you living in the 80s? Dude I can get it through the air on my phone What I need you to give me something that I'm going to lose? Just download the whole album. What am I going to do with it once I get it? I haven't stuck a fucking CD in my car in ages. That's hilarious, right?
Starting point is 01:13:52 Unless it's a DVD for my kids. That's the only time I have hard discs anymore for my kids. I'm that guy that needs the product. I feel like, man, they're ripping me off. I've got to have the hard product. Do you have an album that you do used to roll joints in yeah oh yeah man so people used to roll joints and album they used to separate the seeds yep they used to actually have sleeves that were uh look like acid paper and like
Starting point is 01:14:15 rolling you can rolling paper which which band king chong yeah big bamboo record came with a giant one and everybody rolled the big one pounder joint with it. That's hilarious. That is great. Yeah, they used to have seeds in weed. Oh God, remember? It would pop. You'd be smoking and then it would go pop and it would stink and you'd go fucking seeds. Yeah, man. You'd have to like sort it out. I remember guys had to have to sort out.
Starting point is 01:14:40 You'd break it up and then you would be doing all this sorting before you rolled the joint. And then you took all those seeds and you threw it in your backyard and go well good luck That's come on being going where right? well, there was all kinds of different weed that you would get seeds with and then it wasn't until like I Don't know Indica when did they start having no seeds? I came along to weed late I think it's shitty weed that has seeds.
Starting point is 01:15:05 It was always Mexican brick weed for me. Exactly, because they press it all together and so it would come in this brick. You'd have stems and seeds and you'd break it apart and then roll it up. But once that indica, like up in NorCal, when they
Starting point is 01:15:21 started growing that killer, those cola buds, there was no seeds in that shit It was just giant cola buds and everybody was like whoa Indica's here the new weed off people that have figure out was how to Genetically like not engineer with like chemicals But splicing and using once those got those botanists got a hold of weed That's when shit got interesting all they needed was just enough comfortable space where they didn't feel like they were going to go to jail. Just give them enough.
Starting point is 01:15:49 So Humboldt was where a lot of that stuff came from. Because that whole economy up there is based on weed. Oh, totally. You see the Emerald Triangle documentary? It's unbelievable. I haven't seen it, but I know a lot of people who grow up there. Yeah, me too. And it's like, without that, that whole area is gone yeah that's what's
Starting point is 01:16:06 weird because logging went away and a lot of those guys actually voted against legalization which is really kind of fucked up yeah because they want their money they would butcher the prices and uh if it was it was easy you know if it was easy to grow and nobody had to run any risk then it wouldn't be worth it they're out of business it's not fucked that is fucked they also voted against like the one of the doctors that i've been to for uh um recommendations for prescriptions uh he told me that like he's like quite honestly i know doctors that are voting against legalization because they want to keep it medical because you got to keep going to the doctor every year and pay a fee in order to get your license renewed and i was like whoa it's all money think of that i go that's fucked it's all money i go how does that make you feel he's like well i feel
Starting point is 01:16:52 like i have to adjust my business but the right thing to do is to vote for legalization yeah i'm like that's what he says that's gonna immediately go out and vote no be on dr phil the next day with a tie i want to get high you know Right now no no I can't I'm on my bike dude. No way Yeah, I have a navigation system on your motorcycle well I can run it through my my phone phone Yeah, that's cool. Yes. I see those things on the new Harley commercials where they have a navigation screen Yeah, that's great. This is nuts like they have they have, but I feel like a motorcycle should be a motorcycle. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:28 I feel like you should see fucking gauge cluster, and that's it. That's what I got. When I see the phone ringing, it's Bluetooth into your motorcycle, I'm like, ooh. Yeah. I kind of, I get it. I get that that's convenient, but it just seems weird. Yeah, in the helmets where you have, like have stereo, so you just have that shit turned on like 10, and you're just
Starting point is 01:17:47 blasting Zeppelin. Oh, you seen this? Heads-up display. That's going to go right into your eye when you crash. That will gouge out your brain. Yeah, that's a stupid one. There's a better one where it's up in here. It's just like right here,
Starting point is 01:18:03 and you don't see it, and you can see behind you, too. That is a big one where it's up in here. It's just like right here, and you don't see it. You can see behind you, too. That is a big risk that guy's taking, putting that metal square inches from his eyeball. Look at that. That's stupid. And knowing that he's going to be crashing that bike, the great likelihood, at least once in his life. Have you had a bad crash, Dean? It's so funny, man.
Starting point is 01:18:23 I always talk about people like you. There's two things I hate when you're riding. The one guy that comes up and goes, you crashed yet? Which, if you did, you don't want to relive it with a stranger. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, let me just tell you about how bad I crashed. I've been trying to forget it. And the other one is, I had one of those. They always tell you they had some year they had
Starting point is 01:18:46 and they didn't have it you know i had to sell it got you know wife had the kids it's just like those are the two things i hate but no i've never crashed those poor bastards those poor bastards look at you look at you out there living the dream i I used to live the dream. I used to be out there risking, feeding off the adrenaline, taking chances, cutting lanes. I had some friends from Canada, from Alberta, and they had never been to California before. And they didn't know that you were allowed to cut lanes. Yeah. And so these people would drive. They're like, what the fuck is going on?
Starting point is 01:19:19 These people are maniacs. They're flying by them on the highway. They were freaking out. Because you can't do that in Canada Yeah, everybody's the only state. Is it really can you believe it only state? It's really the only fucking state and they just pet repassed it like two weeks ago. That's so crazy I can't believe it. It's such a bad law. It's so horrible. It's so dumb, especially with people texting Oh, I get it for them. It's awesome.
Starting point is 01:19:45 You're stuck on the 405. Everybody else is dead, and you're moving. That is awesome. I totally get it from their point of view. But from a safety point of view, how the fuck? First of all, why do I have to wear a seatbelt if this dude doesn't even have a fucking shell on him? He's on a bike. How come I have to have a seatbelt?
Starting point is 01:20:03 This fucking guy isn't even surrounded by anything. They just did a bike. How come I have to have a seatbelt? This fucking guy isn't even surrounded by anything. They just did a study for two years straight and found out splitting lanes is safer than sitting in traffic. Because the texters are crashing into dudes. That's true. They're just like texting and all of a sudden, boom, they hit the guy on the bike. Yeah, and it's also not illegal to do it in shorts. Oh, that's the dumbest fucking thing. When you see people with a short-sleeved shirt on or no sleeves in shorts,
Starting point is 01:20:32 you're like, how come I have to wear a seatbelt? I'll tell you what, you want to Google man rides motorcycle thongs, it'll fucking make you throw up. I don't need to. I see guys in thongs around L.A. Well. Riding scooters. They're just hoping you talk about them. Oh.
Starting point is 01:20:49 Now you're talking about them on a podcast. Yeah, well, look at their feet. A lot of people are going to hear. Look at their fucking feet. Their feet are bad. Google it, man. Oh, they get broken off. Oh. Oh, yeah, when they crash.
Starting point is 01:20:57 Oh. Yeah, you don't want to see that. That's the concrete there. Barefoot. Barefoot. Equal concrete. At 60. Mm. Barefoot plus concrete. At 60. Barefoot plus concrete.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Ooh, Jesus Christ, that's a mess. That's ugly. You never walk right again. It's so gross. You hop into the rainbow with your fucking... He's hopping into the rainbow. Dino always makes me nervous, though, because he drives his motorcycle to, like, San Diego or Arizona
Starting point is 01:21:23 and stuff like that in that one like recently uh there was like that big storm and the whole time you're coming back driving through like rain that was brutal how do you drive through that like can you even see or you hit one puddle wouldn't you just spin out well I'm not stupid like but I got caught I was uh I ride everywhere I have no car so I've done all my spots on motorcycles. So I go to San Diego, and I'm doing the weekend. And it's Saturday night. I usually leave Saturday night after the three-day weekend and ride home.
Starting point is 01:21:54 But it was raining, so I go, well, I'll just sleep and wake up the next day. I wake up. It looks pretty clear. I get on the bike, and as soon as I get out of San Diego by the checkpoint there, it starts fucking pouring, man. Like I hadn't seen in L.A. in years. And I'm like, well, this is it, man. I got a windshield, you know.
Starting point is 01:22:16 And I just go. Because it's one of those things where you're broke. So you go, well, do I spend money on a Motel 6 here on the side of the highway, or just try to make it? And I rolled, man. Try to make it. I either die or go to Motel 6. Took me about three hours, and it was funny. Right when I got to Disneyland, it totally stopped raining, and by the time I was home, I was completely dry.
Starting point is 01:22:38 Really? Yeah, because it was, like, sun out, and, you know, there's another 40 minutes on the bike. Oh, that's not even bad no it's not that bad but it seems like that drive in the rain is probably really fucking hard to see right it's hard to see and it's super nerve-wracking because the trucks are spraying big spray it's the trucks the 18 wheelers that are on the five they're spraying big time and you're like whoa fuck so you're just trying to go like far out to the left from them. Boy, and the potential of wiping out
Starting point is 01:23:08 must be really fucking keeping your senses on the edge, huh? Brutal, Joe. I'll tell you one time I had to do this gig in Bakersfield like two years in and I was like, I can't cancel. They won't ever book me again. And I rode up the five,
Starting point is 01:23:23 the grapevine. I got to the top. It was snowing. Oh, no. Like a light snow. Oh, no. My right thumb was frozen to where I was like, I couldn't get it anywhere. Like, my thumb was numb. It was like frozen.
Starting point is 01:23:40 You were barehanded? No, I got gloves. But you're going, and your hand is tucked here. So you're cool. But the thumb was out like this and I was going, fuck, my right thumb is frozen, man. I don't feel it. So I pulled off at a truck stop and I was dreaming hot chocolates and I bought some kids mittens and put them underneath my gloves. So I put these mittens on and then my gloves and I get to the gig and there's like nine people there nine people at a bar gig you risked your life i know i was like what the
Starting point is 01:24:11 i was so mad and then i i did 15 minutes and turned around and rode home oh my god fucked he also told me something i didn't know about when people flick uh cigarettes out there that it actually sometimes gets in the motorcycles like coats dude had one go down my shirt i almost crashed these people they flick cigarettes out all day long all day long and they don't even care just boom one went down my shirt and i was riding going oh oh and i couldn't get over because i was in traffic. And I was like, what the fuck? And it's just burning me on my chest. Do you just sink in like a man and just touch it?
Starting point is 01:24:51 I was like, ah! Put it out of your chest? I got over to this. That's what you got to do, dude. You got to put it out of your chest. I should have just went fucking man up. Yes, that's what I'm saying. I scream at people, man.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Yeah, you should. My buddy got hit. Two dragonflies fucking. We were going around a turn doing like 90 they were stacked on top of each other we're riding like chp style next to each other we go around a turn and i see him his arm flies off his fucking handlebar and he's like whoa and the bike i go whoa this guy's going down what happened i thought he's having a heart attack because guys have heart attacks and strokes and shit. I look over in my rear view mirror and I'm gone and he's pulled over. His face is split open. A cut.
Starting point is 01:25:34 A cut from hitting these things at like 90. Oh my God. And there were two dragonflies that were like just like sandpaper that hit him in the face and he's like, dude, I almost died. Two dragonflies fucking. I was like, wow. That's why you have to have goggles. Oh, I wear a full face. I don't fuck around.
Starting point is 01:25:51 That's why some people don't. They have those little skull caps on with a pair of sunglasses. So dumb. Hey, bro. I'm a rebel. Some people ride around with no helmets in other states. Oh, you get to Arizona? A lot of other states, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:03 You're doing comedy in Arizona? Everyone's riding around in shorts and shit? How the fuck is there Oh, you get to Arizona? A lot of other states, yeah. You're doing comedy in Arizona? Everyone's riding around in shorts and shit? How the fuck is there a seatbelt law in Arizona? Yeah. Plus motorcycles. How? Yeah. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:26:14 Arizona's a nutty state. It is. It's like people don't think of it. They think of it as white people, and you think of it as Arizona's golfers or something like that. A lot of people think of it as Scottsdale, Tucson, or Tempe, rather. Real nice, cute. But no, a big part of Arizona is the wild fucking west. Guns.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Guns anywhere. Concealed carry. I had a friend who has a lot of guns, and he got pulled over in Arizona, and he had to tell the cop that he has guns in the trunk. And the cop's like, wow, what are you shooting? And they started having a fucking cool gun conversation. The guy, well, let me check real quick, make sure everything's in order. And everything was in order.
Starting point is 01:26:56 All right, man, we'll take it easy. Enjoy your Second Amendment rights. They're fucking pound knuckles and go about their business. Two gun nuts who just met on the tarmac out there. I've seen at a restaurant please check your gunning in Arizona. They have like a fucking wall
Starting point is 01:27:11 where you check your guns in. Yeah, some Wyatt Earp type shit. You got any guns? Fuck yeah. I've got a few of those. I love 9mm. That's the gun, man. 9mm? Why do you like them? I just like the shape, the sound, everything about it man it's and it's not too big it's not too small you know it just fires well as far as handguns go it's very easy gun to shoot yeah i
Starting point is 01:27:34 have a glock nine millimeter it's like it shoots like it's it doesn't like there's no it doesn't like i have a rifle a seven millimeter remington ultra mag i have a 300, a 7mm Remington Ultra Mag. I have a.300 Win Mag, too. It's big, kicking, fucking elephant-killing guns. Boom! Digs into your shoulder. There's just such a difference between a rifle and a pistol. Pistols feel so small. I feel like if you were hunting with a rifle, sometimes people hunt with pistols.
Starting point is 01:28:00 If you're hunting with a rifle and you hit something, that thing's dead. But if you're hunting with a pistol and you hit something, that thing's dead. But if you're hunting with a pistol and you hit something, like, ooh, they might survive. You shoot an elk with a 9mm, it may run away. One of those little hooker guns they keep in their brawls. Yeah, little.22s. I love the Desert Eagle.50 caliber. That's a ridiculous gun. You ever see the footage, girls shooting the Desert Eagle?
Starting point is 01:28:24 That is so great. Their tits. Boom, right into her head. Yeah. God. There's one, too, where a girl's shooting and her tits are exploding. Like, as she's shooting, like, the recoil's like, boom, her tits like jiggle, jiggle. But, yeah, I've seen a girl hit herself in the head with the recoil.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Oh, God, that video. There's videos at late night you'll just get on and just start fucking your head off man that person's rude whoever gave that girl that gun I know what the fuck was gonna happen it's just cannon in your hand it's a cannon we shot one of those remember Brian when we filmed my comedy special down in Tempe in 2005 we went to the was it like the Phoenix gun club or something like that yeah some kind of place gun club. Yeah, we shot everything. Machine guns, we shot Desert Eagles, .44 Magnums, we shot these ridiculous
Starting point is 01:29:11 pistols. Just boom! They throw your hand back. You literally can't hold it straight. You can't. And the fire that comes out of it is unbelievable, man. I grew up in the Bay Area and I just loved Dirty Harry. I loved it. I loved those films and I just loved Dirty Harry. I loved it. I loved those films, and I just loved him just a cannon, like, you know?
Starting point is 01:29:30 Well, he represented a weird part of San Francisco that wasn't represented anywhere else in the world. Everybody thought about San Francisco, they thought about gay people. That was it. San Francisco was gay people and hippies. And all of a sudden, wait a minute, what is this guy doing here? And he was a Northern California guy. I mean, he was mayor of Carmel. Yeah, I know, right? Isn't that nuts? Yeah. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:29:49 Runs for mayor, wins. Marries the local newscaster. He did? Yeah, the Asian. That's who the hot chick was? Yeah, they recently got divorced. There's like all kinds of evil going on. There's evil going on? Yeah, I mean, you know. Poor Clint. I know, money. Can't catch a break.
Starting point is 01:30:05 Just 82. What a god. The secret was he was gay the whole time. Dirty Harry was actually gay. Yeah, it was like he was overcompensating. He was gone. He was gone. His big black gun.
Starting point is 01:30:16 Yeah, that's what Dirty Harry was really all about. It was all about him fighting against his homosexual urges. It's like, you feel lucky? You feel lucky? S is pre-age. You feel lucky? Suck it, punk. This is pre-age, too. Suck it.
Starting point is 01:30:29 Suck it. It was a different sort of, because San Francisco was never thought of as being like a crime-fighting town. Not at all. You think of New York. New York is where all the cop shows were. You don't have a movie like that in San Francisco.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Yeah. It was cool. That guy that was in the first one, he plays the sniper. He's the dude from the Warriors. Warriors, come out and play. That guy, man. That guy played a great psycho. Warriors.
Starting point is 01:31:00 I love that. That's a tough gig for a dude to be that character actor, psycho guy. Yeah. Once you're a psycho guy, the fucking leading man roles are no longer available to you. You're the psycho guy. I'll take the psycho roles. Those are great. You know what I mean? I've done a few movies, and I'm always like, when do I get to kill a guy?
Starting point is 01:31:20 You know, I always get killed. You have a weird path into comedy, man. I think that's the weirdest path I've ever heard of. Being 44 years old and starting stand-up. You must have been fucking running. You must have hit the ground running. I never stopped. You kind of had to
Starting point is 01:31:37 because if you're going to really do this, not a lot of time for people to accept it. Yeah. If you're 53 and they're like, oh, he's been doing comedy for eight years. People go, oh, right you know if you're 53 and they're like oh he's been doing comedy for eight years people go oh all right yeah but if you're 53 and you just started you're like oh boy yeah you're on your way to 60 before you're seven years in like it's pretty wild you know but i'll tell you what it saved my life joe uh i was pretty, you know, when you're 44, your friends are long gone, married with kids. Cue the music.
Starting point is 01:32:07 Piano. Yeah, you know what I mean? That Hulk music. The Hulk music. He's walking away. Lonely Man's theme. It's true, though. Yeah, no, I know what you mean.
Starting point is 01:32:19 And you're a holdout. You didn't get married, no family. Right, right. Did you wonder about that? About family? Yeah. Did you wonder what it was like? No.
Starting point is 01:32:30 I had one great girlfriend. Lost her because of rock and roll. And she raised the bar too high. What was the bar? I'm saying she was a great girlfriend. Like seven years. You lost her to rock and roll. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:43 Just rock. Just rock, man. She's the one that got away. Yeah. She is the one that got away. was a great girlfriend like seven years lost her to rock and roll yeah just you know just rock just rock she's the one that got away yeah she is the one do you check in with her every now and again i try to she doesn't have anything for i did davy symphony hall two weeks ago in san fran with marin and i was like come down to the show and just nothing she didn't respond no man but i know she got a boyfriend nah she doesn man. But I know she got him. She's probably got a boyfriend. Nah, she doesn't. How do you know? She never got married either. Maybe I raised her bar.
Starting point is 01:33:11 Maybe you did. Maybe you just need to get together with her. Maybe show up with a bow tie and a bouquet of flowers. Joe, bow tie. Come on. Yeah, like a wacky weather guy. You know what I like? You know what I like?
Starting point is 01:33:24 You know what I like about her, though? I did some movies and stuff, and she didn't go like Oh, he must be getting famous, I'm getting back You know what I mean? She didn't do that That was cool Let's be honest, she really didn't get famous But if you did If you really did, maybe then she would
Starting point is 01:33:40 Maybe then she would like Okay, one more chance. But if you sell us out for rock and roll again, what was it about rock and roll? It was just the hours, being on the road. Yeah, it's just like comedy. I could never have a girlfriend now. I dedicate myself like 100%. I'm out seven nights a week.
Starting point is 01:34:05 I don't miss a night. What am I going to do unless they're in the biz and then we can hang during the day? Yeah, it's hard for people. The worst thing is when a guy's a talented comic and he gets a girlfriend and she doesn't like the lifestyle and then he shifts. I've seen it. I've seen it happen, too. And then you run into those guys ten years later when them and the girl have broken up and they want to try all over again.
Starting point is 01:34:26 Oh, yeah. It's ugly. It's like, dude, you missed. You missed the whole thing. Like, you're not a pro now. You want to become a pro again. You had a chance at one point in time, but now you're fucked. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:38 Yeah, I never wanted to hear this. Are you going to go out again tonight? It's like, yeah, every night, you know? Yeah. And it's the only, especially at 44 starting, I mean, you really got to commit. You got to hit the ground running. You can't take a few slow years and half-ass it and then kind of get back in. No way, man.
Starting point is 01:34:58 Once I started, I was like, whoa, this is hard. Was it scary being 44 and like beginning a new chapter in your life like that, or was it exciting? It wasn't scary as far. I loved it. I was like, oh, I'm back on stage. Oh, shit, man. I'm doing this.
Starting point is 01:35:16 But the survival mode is brutal. It cost a fortune. I'm 40, 49 now. What am I going to do, live with nine dudes? You know? Hey, my rent's 300. You could be like the older brother that gives advice to the young, crazy kids. This is not how you do ketamine, boys.
Starting point is 01:35:34 You got to be careful. You can't intramuscularly shoot without having alcohol on hand. You don't know what the fuck you're doing. This isn't sterile. Yeah, you know, it's just, I just didn't think it was going to be, I was going to work this hard. Like, you know, I was like, oh, fuck, I'm working hard, you know? Well, what did you think? You think it would be easy?
Starting point is 01:35:54 Did it look easy from the outside? Like you've seen people crack jokes? I never thought it was going to be easy, ever. But I didn't think it was going to grab me like it did. I thought, oh, yeah, I'll go down and try it. And then I started doing it, and it grabbed me, and it took over my life in a good way. And I was like, wow, man. I mean, I literally work all day, every day.
Starting point is 01:36:16 I don't take a day off. What do you mean by all day, every day? What do you do? Well, I podcast five days a week. Five days a week? Well, I grab guests while I'm home and bank them. And then I'm home and bank them. Uh-huh. And then I'm always auditioning.
Starting point is 01:36:27 Then I write all day from the sets. I listen to the sets and I take notes. And then I go. Right now, I'm co-hosting Tom Green's TV show. When he's on the road, I guest host. So there's no days off. None. When did you start doing this Tom Green thing?
Starting point is 01:36:46 I love it. He's doing it still out of his house, right? Oh, he moved it. He got a warehouse in the Valley and took all that stuff and moved it to his house. And it's about a month old. I've been doing it for about a month now. And it's so great, man, because it's a TV show.
Starting point is 01:37:02 And so he does it on a regular basis. so you have to guest host sort of like when Johnny Carson had guests so so tonight show same thing he goes on the road and then he'll have a producer or something yeah he's got three guys yeah it's great and I've had some really cool guests I just had Mike Beach who's been an actor for 35 years. He was on Sons of Anarchy for six seasons. He played T.O., the black gang leader of Grim Bastards. He was also on E.R.
Starting point is 01:37:31 I had him on. I had Madonna's guitar player. They just left for tour. Monty Pittman on. And then I had a guy, Sean Kerrigan, from Young and the Restless. So I have different kinds of guests, and it's cool, and then we take Skype calls and regular calls. When I first did Tom's show,
Starting point is 01:37:50 it was like when the first time Brian and I had thought about doing something. When he had that set up in his living room, where it was like, it was crazy. He had his own server room with all these servers set up and these crazy fucking lines, and we were trying to figure out, like, Brian, first of all, one of the things for Brian's like, you don't need all this.
Starting point is 01:38:11 You were right. You were right. Essentially, he was like his own AOL. We were like, what is going on here? Yeah. And they were doing it with a company out of Denver. You remember? And the company out of Denver wanted to do something with me.
Starting point is 01:38:24 And we talked about it. But I was like, wait a minute what what exactly are you doing like? how are you doing this like this and that's right when we start fucking around with Justin dot TV to and We had thought about doing some other sort of streaming version of one of these things But Tom Green had gone balls out from the jump It was a TV show in his house house. In his house, man. Took over his whole house. His house was abandoned, essentially.
Starting point is 01:38:48 He just had a kitchen and a bedroom. He had a giant server room. He had these wires all throughout the middle of his house. These fat fucking cables that were laid down everywhere. You had to step over them. Sell overkill. He's got all that stuff. I love Tom Green because he represents what I love.
Starting point is 01:39:07 He's like you. He's self-made you know what i mean like he doesn't wait for people to come to him he just does it since he's like 16 you know he had a show on public access in canada then he lands on mtv then he starts doing his own show you know he's like pre-jackass and shit well He's at his best to when he's doing his own thing and when I think his his career experience like a lull It was because he was doing a bunch of other people shit He was doing movies he was doing and you when you start doing that you get involved with all these different Producers and different network people and different Executives and different people have this different idea of how your thing should go because they're investing money in it and they have say they can green light things or shut things down and
Starting point is 01:39:48 You can't have a guy like that under that kind of constraints because you're never gonna get a Tom Green Yeah, you get the Tom Green that showed up on MTV with the Tom Green that was doing that cable access show He's just a maniac. Yeah, just let that guy be that maniac. Totally. Totally He's you know know that's what he does and a lot of people they wait they're like i hear this a lot they go yeah i got no agent or manager it's like yeah me either you just fucking go do it man this day and age is less less important than it's ever been totally less important than it's ever been it's changing on a daily basis on a daily basis you're getting more and more of these social media apps.
Starting point is 01:40:26 That's us. Bam. That's cool. That's cool. Yeah. We were sitting in this place, and we were like, this is cool. This whole thing is pretty dope. You could drink.
Starting point is 01:40:37 Yeah. We were boozing, taking calls. I was like, I love it. He had all those pencils. I don't know why he had so many pencils. Check out his set now, Dean Del Rey Look at it now, man It's crazy
Starting point is 01:40:49 Is it different? Is it the same place? He got a warehouse He moved all the stuff out of his house Because he was just like, I can't have these people in my house anymore So check out his set up now It's unbelievable, Joe He's also been doing a lot of periscoping Him and Andy Dick
Starting point is 01:41:04 Andy Dick pretty much lives on Periscope now. It's really weird seeing them on. Well, we ran into him the other day at the comic store, remember? Periscoping. We were periscoping each other. I was periscoping him, periscoping me. But what I meant is, is it the same set that he just moved to a warehouse? No, look at this.
Starting point is 01:41:20 Check it out. There it is. Look. So he's got, just fast forward a little bit. Is that supposed to be him? Yeah, yeah. But look, man. Check it out. There it is. Look. So he's got, just fast forward a little bit. Is that supposed to be him? Yeah, yeah. But look, man. It's a straight.
Starting point is 01:41:29 Hey, Eric Griffin. I know that dude. It's a straight up talk show inside a full warehouse. Here's the problem with that. It is the worst dumb fucking way to sit down when you're talking to somebody ever. First of all, why are you above him? You know Eric's taller than you. That's ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:41:47 And second of all, why would you sit like that while he sits sideways like that? That's so retarded. Yeah, yeah. Podcast is the way to talk. This is good. I love this.
Starting point is 01:41:55 Look at you, look at me. Exactly. Hey, we're right here. Yeah. They're not one person. People got mad at me when I had this special ergonomic chair that was like taller. So I got all these
Starting point is 01:42:06 tweets like, dude, you trying to psychologically have an up? You trying to psychologically be above your guests? I'm way taller than you. I have to be above you to look down upon you. Letterman's a tall dude anyway. On top of that, his desk is tall. Yeah, he's very tall.
Starting point is 01:42:21 On top of that, his desk is taller. That's an odd approach, but that's how everybody always did it. It was that sideways desk, tall yeah he's very tall oh yeah on top of that his desk is taller that's a odd approach but that's how everybody always did it was that sideways desk the johnny carson style desk why what are you writing books what's the desk why do you have a fucking desk to talk to people you need a desk that seems retarded but it's like you know it's the guy was a school teacher or something i mean that's how we looked at it. A fucking desk? Yeah. And everyone's so unoriginal. People are just such copycats. Everybody. Craig Ferguson.
Starting point is 01:42:49 Everybody. Jimmy Kimmel. Everybody just copies the original Johnny Carson setup. Format. Which is one of the worst formats ever for communicating with people. The only thing it does is establish that one person is in control of the situation. The guy behind the desk. That's the captain.
Starting point is 01:43:04 And so you go, well, I'll be right back. He could be right back quicker. Then if there's like all bunch of dudes sitting around, circled with the chairs, the same height and in the same style, then it would be a little weirder. Like why is Dean the head? Why doesn't Tom Green get to decide when they go? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:43:21 That's why I think Joan Rivers had it best. She had it in bed, which is the most comfortable. You're just gazing at each other's eyes, maybe touch some feet. I'm mad that I didn't get a chance to do that. I know. I'm mad that I really didn't get a chance to meet her either. What a bummer. I was booked on that.
Starting point is 01:43:34 I was booked on that, and something happened. We canceled or someone canceled. I don't remember the exact details, but she was an all-time great. Oh, God, man. All-time great. Ballsy to the end I mean just that what she had to put up with when she decided to do her own show after Carson and he just bans her she could have easily just been buried you
Starting point is 01:43:55 know Carson was a douchebag oh you watch the documentary dick he had a big day no that and he was a big dick that too both right things were different than man you can't be that guy today. Nobody would allow it. They would get out that you're that kind of a cunt. Shitty to people. But it's also back then, you know, we talked about this like with Howard Stern and radio guys. It's like back then they were all fighting over a time slot.
Starting point is 01:44:18 And that's kind of stupid now. Yeah, time slots are gone now. It's people whenever they're working and listening or working out or commuting or whatever well because of dvrs and also with these one of the things that letterman kind of one of the reasons why he decided to step back was what shows had become mostly is like the show would get a certain amount of views but what really would get a lot of views would be the clips from the show that would go online and then people would be able to access those whenever they wanted and that became a big thing and he was missing
Starting point is 01:44:48 that yeah he was like we're just not doing that like jimmy fallon is doing that uh kimmel's doing that we're not doing that anymore and he just realized that the whole genre was kind of passing his style by yeah they're like marin was on last week and they made the clip that marin stops masturbating because of drought Because he masturbates in the shower And it was a huge clip on YouTube You're instantly going to watch it Because they break it down into
Starting point is 01:45:14 The meat of the interviews The funny jokes You can watch the show in like 15 minutes Yeah, like that Louis C.K. thing Everything is great And no one's happy. You know the thing about Technology I love that was on Conan and that became like this huge viral sensation Which was way bigger a hit than the actual episode itself, which you know not that many people watch Conan anymore
Starting point is 01:45:40 Yeah, it's pretty low right? It's very low in comparison to like what the johnny carson show used to be at one point in time there's no show like that where everybody watches the tonight show yeah 30 million a night carson and then i guess when he signed off 60 million on the night he signed off when you got on the tonight show back then they made a star out of you like there's no show like that anymore that makes someone a star. But if you became a regular in The Tonight Show and you would sit on the couch next to Johnny, you were in, man. You made it. You were royalty. You were adorned. You were knighted.
Starting point is 01:46:15 Steven Wright. I mean, it changed his world. Was that Letterman or was that Carson? That's Carson. Then he was asked back the next day. Wow. He goes, will you come back tomorrow? And he came back and did another set the next day or whatever. Wow. God. I say this to people all the time. It's bigger to do Rogan podcast or Marin or, say, the top five than it is to do a Tonight Show set. Now it is.
Starting point is 01:46:40 Yeah, because I go all over and people go, man, I heard you on such and such. And it's amazing. And because I go all over and people go, man, I heard you on such and such. And it's amazing. And because people find those podcasts at different times. If you're on TV, it goes by and if they didn't see it, they didn't see it. But every day somebody finds an episode I was on, say this, a year from now, they're like, I just heard you on Rogan, man. And they discover it on their own time frame. Well, we have it set up with the most access possible, too.
Starting point is 01:47:07 I don't have it subscription-based. Some guys, like, you can get the first episodes. Like, Marin has that, right? Yeah. The backlog. First 50 are free or whatever, and then you buy the backlogs. But I feel like you fuck yourself when you do that. I feel like what the real connection is is the fact that it's all free.
Starting point is 01:47:23 Right. Like, that's the easiest you can get it fact that it's all free right like that's a big that's the Easiest you can get it whether it's through stitcher or through YouTube or through you stream or Vimeo or whatever the fuck it is You just gotta be able to get it as easily as possible And then if people like it it just spreads you know so the growth we're experiencing because of just word-of-mouth We're up two million downloads from last month. Wow. 2 million in a month.
Starting point is 01:47:48 I call it madness. It's like an exponential fucking tsunami of madness. It's crazy. I call it the, it's like Metallica. It's the old school grassroots. Metallica had a cassette tape. Like 40 people got them. Lars sent them to guys.
Starting point is 01:48:05 I love Metallica. Send me a tape. They copied those tapes. Lars sent them to guys. I love Metallica. Send me a tape. They copied those tapes. They sent them to their buddies. Their buddies copied those tapes. They sent them to their buddies. In a matter of five years, there's probably 200,000 of those cassettes out. Grassroots. Tell me it's not ironic that Lars Ulrich was the guy who was trying to take down Napster after all that.
Starting point is 01:48:22 It's hilarious. Like, word of mouth and the ability to spread your shit was what made them in the first place. And then he's like, hey man, we want that money. Where you going with that money, Napster? Should've used Trey Parker and Matt Stone instead. They gave a VHS, they made a VHS tape as a little
Starting point is 01:48:38 Christmas gift. It was like a 10 minute thing and then that spread through Hollywood over like night. Dude, I saw it. I saw it back then before the show was on. Yes, I did. It was the Brian Boitano one. Oh my God, it was goddamn genius. What would Brian Boitano do?
Starting point is 01:48:51 All I'm saying is metal people, the way they spread stuff, are like what comedy podcast people are. It's great. They're like, man, did you hear this show? I think one of the best things about comedy podcasts is unlike what happened with Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers Podcasters all support other podcasters. That seems to be across the board
Starting point is 01:49:10 I haven't seen any beef where podcasters saying hey if you do Adam Carolla show you can't do my show Yeah, no one does that. No, and that was the model. That was the model. They all did it They all did that. They all fucked each other because of that and because they were fighting over these time slots and everyone had this famine theory going on where if you weren't number one, you were below number one. And you were losing if you were in second place. You made less money and everyone's panicking. So they had these politics that were playing back and forth like that. Remember that movie that they did? That was great.
Starting point is 01:49:40 Jay Leno and David Letterman and the late night wars. Doesn't NBC do that right now with like Fallon or somebody like that? I'm sure they do. If you do Fallon, you can't do Kimmel or something. Probably. Kimmel, you can't do Fallon. Yeah, they probably have laws like that. You know, they probably, I mean, some people could probably do whatever the fuck they want,
Starting point is 01:49:57 but they probably have laws like that or unwritten rules like that. Yeah, like if you're De Niro, you go, I do them all. And they go, that's fine. We just want De Niro. It's a stupid model. You have to be tuned in by 11 o'clock. That's when it starts. And it ends at 1.30.
Starting point is 01:50:12 Why? Just show it all the time. Have it available whenever anybody wants to watch it. Then it'll be better. It's like this model of tuning in for something and waiting for it. That's why I love Netflix Netflix takes a season and they go a season three of Orange is the new black is out good luck. Yeah, you get all the fucking episodes The whole season is out in one fell swoop
Starting point is 01:50:36 Yeah, binge watch which I like to do in a hotel somewhere on the road Oh, it's the best Yeah If you get a hold of a fucking series and you find out about it, and you find out about it after five seasons already done, I didn't find out about Game of Thrones until I think the second season. So I watched the whole first season, and when I caught up, I was sad. I know, right?
Starting point is 01:50:57 Because it's a week to week. That was me with Breaking Bad. Three seasons straight. I got the flu. Yeah. All right. Oh, nice. What a brutal show to watch with Breaking Bad. Three seasons straight. I got the flu. Yeah. All right. Oh, nice. What a brutal show to watch with the flu.
Starting point is 01:51:08 It's all dark. You're feeling shitty. You're like, no. You know what I mean? I watched all three, and then I was like, wait, now I got to wait? Oh, fuck. Yeah, I think that that's the future. We're going to laugh one day thinking about the idea of tuning into a special time to watch a show.
Starting point is 01:51:25 Like what? Yeah. Like a world premiere, 8 p.m. You're sitting there with your popcorn. Watch this. You've had it for hours. Play it. Upload it, you fuck.
Starting point is 01:51:34 Upload it so I can get it whenever. On demand is the future. A hundred percent. Oh yeah. I love it. Everything else is stupid. It really is. The idea of like tuning in, like I guess maybe new shows with that exception.
Starting point is 01:51:46 Because at the end of the day, you do want to kind of find out what the fuck is going on in the world. But even those shows, man. They're getting trounced by the Young Turks and all these online shows that can do whatever they want. Well, Twitter, as far as scoops. Yeah. Hell yeah. You find out who's dead. Twitter's my news.
Starting point is 01:52:01 Immediately. Instantly. Yeah. RIP. RIP. Someone will tag you. Oh, shit. And just to think, when Periscope does catch on more, it's
Starting point is 01:52:08 going to be news, Twitter, but video. So, like, if something's happening in Washington, we could just turn to that exact street and go, oh, there's four people on Periscope right there. We got four different camera views. Oh, totally. In that street right now. And that's what it's going to be like. Well, Ustream did a lot of that during the Ferguson
Starting point is 01:52:23 riots. There's a lot of streaming services that do that during Baltimore. All that's what it's going to be like. Well, Ustream did a lot of that during the Ferguson riots. There's a lot of streaming services that do that during Baltimore. All that kind of stuff is the future. Oh, God, yeah. Periscope, I mean, that is definitely the future, man. I was watching somebody last night for an hour. I had no idea who they were. They were just this miscellaneous
Starting point is 01:52:40 person in Germany, just watching them hang out. How about those Twitch things that we were watching? The Twitch channel, which is all these people playing video games, and then you look it down and you say, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. That guy's got 10,000 people watching him play a video game? Isn't that fucking crazy?
Starting point is 01:52:55 It's an arena filled with people. Think about if you were performing in front of 10,000 people. You'd be like, holy fuck. You reach 10,000 people with your words? That's crazy, right? This guy's playing a video game in his underwear. Did you read that article, Joe, which has really hit me big time as a comedian? If you have 1,000 true fans, you can survive as an artist? What is that?
Starting point is 01:53:18 What are you showing me? I was just showing that the other day on Periscope. I had 10,000 live viewers. You had 10,000 people watching live? Yeah, on Periscope. 10 000 live viewers you had 10 000 people watching live yeah periscope live at the same time uh i don't know if it's all the same time but it was 10 000 different people watching wow and i was just fucking with people on like webcast that's great i'm sorry what are you saying if you have a thousand true fans what yeah yeah there's a there's an article a guy wrote um i read it online about two weeks ago and he he said that if you, as an artist, have 1,000 true fans, you could survive doing art, whatever form of art you do, forever.
Starting point is 01:53:53 Because he said the 1,000 people, which you think, oh, that sounds pretty easy. I'm trying to get 100 right now. 1,000 true fans. This is an incredible article if you read this. It doesn't matter. We'll get to the end of it. The long tale is a famously good... What? Okay, just stop.
Starting point is 01:54:14 I'm reading. Fuck. You're scrolling. Fuck. The long tale is famously good news for two classes of people, a few lucky aggregators such as Amazon and Netflix, and six billion consumers. Of those two, I think... Okay, this is a... What aggregators, such as Amazon and Netflix, and 6 billion consumers. Of those two, I think it's... Okay, this is a... What he said, though, basically, is if you have 1,000 fans that each spend about $100 a year on you,
Starting point is 01:54:34 meaning they bought a DVD, you know, or they bought a ticket, a couple tickets, or they watched your special. Right. 100 a year, you got about 100,000 after everything, maybe 50, 60. You could survive awesome on that every year. The problem I have is the term true fan. Right, I got you. I don't even like saying fans. I don't either.
Starting point is 01:54:57 I like saying people who like you. I say friends. People who like what you're doing. I always say friends. Cult members. Yeah, cult members i call them my friends because we're if they're into the stuff i'm into we would be friends yeah if you're doing good shit and people like your good shit and they keep supporting it and you have a commitment with
Starting point is 01:55:16 them it's kind of cool because it's like you have customers it's like say if you were like a guy who made great shoes or something like that handmade shoes you got a bunch of customers that swear by the dean del rey shoe yeah you know and they buy them whenever they can and it's like if you're doing good work and they're they appreciate good work if you really can nail it and just lock it as a comic it's a it's hard right it makes you feel good though like they like my podcast they get emails at night man and they're like dude this this stuff you're talking about with music no one likes it like me i feel and you're you know they like i can relate man and it's it feels good let there be talk because your podcast is it mostly about rock and roll or is it about all kinds of shit it's all kinds of shit but i really uh i have a lot of rock and rollers on
Starting point is 01:55:59 and people that i i loved in life that have, you know, that influenced me. You know, I try to seek them out. Maybe a guy that built choppers, you know, like a or a guy who's an amazing motor builder. And then a comedian that blows my mind. Then a rocker. And if you have the cool thing about what you're doing is you don't have to talk to anybody about what you do. You don't have to like sit down with some guy and go, Dean, I think we're in the wrong direction with this.
Starting point is 01:56:28 What we want to do is, first of all, we want to dye your mustache. Just to grain your mustache. The young kids today, they can't relate. The tattoos are great, but maybe a lip ring or something. They're trying to get you hip. Maybe a teardrop tattoo. Just a little one in the corner. or something. Yeah, they're trying to, like, get you hip, you know? Maybe a teardrop tattoo. Just a little one in the corner of your cheek.
Starting point is 01:56:51 I look at dudes like you and Marin and those are the dudes, and Burr, and I just, those are the guys, you know? If you like something, you know, you figure it out. Like, these guys are doing it, man. You know, they're doing it. And you figure it out. Like, these guys are doing it, man. You know, they're doing it.
Starting point is 01:57:07 And you figure out, like, what is my niche? I love music. Let's talk about rock. But I love comedy, too, so we got guys on, you know? Being yourself. Being yourself. That's the cool thing about podcasts. You can really truly be yourself.
Starting point is 01:57:20 Because, you know, you just have a microphone and a camera. You don't even have a camera. It's just audio, right? Audio, yeah. That's just... There's never been a time where you could do that. There's never been a time where you could have your own fucking radio show that's available instantly. If I drive home right now, I can go into iTunes.
Starting point is 01:57:36 I go into the podcast app, rather, on my iPhone. And I just write Dean Del Rey. And it'll show me Let Therapy Talk. Boom. And I'll just start streaming it. I'll put my foot down, I mean, put my seat, my phone down on the seat at a red light. During that red light, I picked
Starting point is 01:57:52 up your podcast and I'm listening to it now. That's insane. Or I could say it. I mean, those, the fucking, you say Dean Del Rey and it'll put it up in the search. It's amazing how accurate that thing is. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's amazing how accurate that thing is. It's crazy. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:58:08 It's a weird time to be alive with all this shit. I was lucky, too, that I figured out how to do it on my own. You know, like, I was looking at Brian. I went on the road with Brian last year, and this fucking guy works his ass off. We're out on the road. How dare you lie to America? Well, I mean, when we... Everyone knows him way more than you do. When we were out on the road, he was working his ass off. He had out on the road. How dare you lie to America? Everyone knows him way more than you do.
Starting point is 01:58:25 When we were out on the road, he was working his ass off. He had the shows booked. He had the hostels booked. He had the rental car. He had the flights. And we were cruising around. And I was like, this is a self-made machine here, the death squad. You have to figure out a way to do your own thing in this day and age.
Starting point is 01:58:42 Because if you do bring other people in, especially in the beginning, you're going to have to give them a cut of almost nothing. As you're hustling and you're trying to put together these shows, if you're giving a manager 15% of that and an agent 10%, 25% is gone.
Starting point is 01:58:57 Then you have to pay taxes. You know what sucks is when you're on the road with somebody that does have a manager and then they still get your 10%. I don't want to say who, but I got checks because I're on the road with somebody that does have a manager, and then they still get your 10%? Like, I don't want to say who, but I got checks because I was on the road, and their manager took 10% out of my cut. I'm like, wait, that's not right.
Starting point is 01:59:13 What? What are you talking about? Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Dude, you got robbed. I know, I know. You don't have a contract with someone, and they took 10% out of your check? Who the fuck is this? Nothing, nothing. Dude. Who the fuck did this It's weird but it's cool. They tell you that it's gonna tell you we're gonna get a certain amount and then they took
Starting point is 01:59:42 But it's working with like Dean is is because Dean doesn't have a manager. Let's have a fake name. Let's use a fake name. Rhymes with... Fuck, man. That's gross. That's someone stealing money. That's fucking wrong.
Starting point is 01:59:58 Well, you know, it's just weird that managers even do that. He's not managing you. See, if he's not managing you, like a manager. Here's the deal. And you got the person to gig. Where's your cut as the agent? Well, here's the deal, though. This is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 02:00:12 As a manager, a manager is a long-term commitment. I've had the same manager since I was an open miker. And most comedians try to keep a manager for a long time. An agent is someone who works with you guys but is not as close as the manager. The manager is supposed to be the person that's looking over your career in an advisory position. No one's advising you.
Starting point is 02:00:33 That guy's not advising you. Go on Periscope now. I really think it'll help. He's not advising you at all. So he's taking 10% for what reason? Because he stole it. You gotta get that money back, dude. We're gonna find that money. We're going to get it back one way or another.
Starting point is 02:00:50 We're going to book a gig with this guy, and then we're going to steal that money. Take his money. God damn it. Sorry. Jacob Dillon loves you, man. I wanted to tell you that. He still remembers the time his kids got to go down to the set. Of Fear Factor?
Starting point is 02:01:03 Yeah. I never forgot it. He's like, man, it was so great. My kids just lost their minds. down to the set. A fear factor? Yeah. I never forgot it. He's like, man, it was so great. My kids just lost their minds. They love the show. They're in there. The guy's eating eyeballs five feet away. He loved it, man. He's a good guy. He is a great guy. He's a really, really fucking
Starting point is 02:01:17 talented singer, too. One of my best friends. Is he really? Yeah, man. I always wondered why they didn't take off like those what was that song i can't remember when this one headlight yeah that is one headlight yeah well they sold you know that they sold 26 million records i know but how come he didn't keep making jams like that like what happened well when you have a record that fucking big it it was huge. That is hard to come, you know, people... Dude, you're wearing an ACDC hat,
Starting point is 02:01:48 so shut your mouth. They did that shit for decades. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da You know, here's a perfect example. Dirty deeds. Darn dirt cheap. Come on, man. I love that, right? If you're having trouble with the high school head, he's giving you the news. I love that, right? You want to graduate, but not this way. Here's what you got to do. Dude, you got that rock and roll voice.
Starting point is 02:02:22 Hey, you see my phone, Scott? What is that? Oh, my God. I forgot is that? Oh, my God. I forgot about that. Oh, my God. Holy shit. Stand up with those so that they can see on the camera. Bond Scott.
Starting point is 02:02:32 Wow, who did that, man? Oh, this guy. Oh, yeah. See, look at that. That's badass. Guy named Nico Hurtado. Oh, I know Nico Hurtado. He's badass.
Starting point is 02:02:42 He's fucking unbelievable. He's a California guy, right? Yeah. Oh, I know Nico Rottato. He's badass. He's fucking unbelievable. He's a California guy, right? Yeah. He worked on Kat Von D on that TV show a couple years, but he has his own place out in Grass
Starting point is 02:02:52 Valley, and this guy is next level for portraits. He's super talented for everything. For everything. He's super fucking talented. So good, man. I went out there 16 hours, that thing. Eight and eight. That took 16 hours?
Starting point is 02:03:06 Yeah. And this rib cage is the worst place ever to get a tattoo. I remember we started. I went, hey, you might want to move to another spot for a few minutes. That's kind of tender. And he's like, yeah, the whole thing's going to be like that. I was like, what? We're only 10 minutes in.
Starting point is 02:03:22 And you're ready to quit? Oh, yeah. Just make it a bumblebee. And I'm covered. How much harder is it than your arms? It's so, it's like, I can't describe it. It's so bad. It's so bad that I didn't get Angus on the other side,
Starting point is 02:03:37 which was the original plan. Oh, you pussy. I'll probably do it, though. If you do it, we should film it in Periscope Yeah right Actually we should have him do it here in the studio Well Joey Diaz is getting sponsors On Periscope now
Starting point is 02:03:52 They're contacting him Cause he does the morning joint He gets up in the morning he lights up a joint And he starts dropping science and motivation On your date dog And so for you know whatever minutes When he gets up and smokes his first joint of the day, he brings people on this ride with him, and they call it the morning joint. So he's going to get, you could get a sponsor for your tattoo.
Starting point is 02:04:15 That'd be great, right? Yeah. They might even pay for the tattoo. Man. How about that? I really want to get the other side done. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:22 Come on. And I want to get the Comedy Store logo, too. Really? Yeah, I do. That's dangerous. Yeah, because they need a new logo a little, I think. No, no. No, no, I love it.
Starting point is 02:04:31 It's just a big deal to me, though. You know what I mean? My name's on the wall, and it was just like, it was the biggest thing that ever happened to me. And I played music and toured with everybody and done all kinds of shit, but that was next level stuff. It's great until you look of shit. But that was next level stuff. It's great until you look at some other people that are on the wall. Towing company.
Starting point is 02:04:49 Hold on a fucking second here. The spaghetti boys. What is that? A few fucks on that wall that really take some black paint to. I sat there the other day and just Googled half the names on the front patio. Because I was like, what's a Z-cat? I was like, what is Z-Cat? And half of them I don't even think are real.
Starting point is 02:05:08 I think literally people came in there and just drew. No. There's a few, like a towing truck company is on there. How is a towing truck company? Yeah, I'll show it to you. It's weird. It's a big deal to me, though. It's just like from the ground up, I was 44.
Starting point is 02:05:25 I just stumbled onto that patio like, hey, I'm here to do comedy. And they're like, get the fuck out of here. I had Fitzsimmons on yesterday, and we were talking about that book, about the comedy store. What is it called again? I love it. What is it called? The comedy.
Starting point is 02:05:42 You don't know. Yeah, I do. What's it called? comedy? You don't know. Yeah, I do. Just make it work. It's a stand-in, or what is it? What's it called? It's a great book, man. I can't believe no one's made that movie.
Starting point is 02:05:52 But what he was basically saying was that at those days, what? I'm dying up here. I'm dying up here. He was saying that at the description
Starting point is 02:06:00 of what the store was in the 70s is exactly like it was today. Like it was like comics hanging out in the 70s is exactly like it was today. Yeah. Like, it was, like, comics hanging out in the back patio, people going on stage there. It's amazing that place has kept that freaky vibe. I did a dollar show last night, the doorman show in the belly room last night. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:17 That's such a good idea for a show, too. You don't understand how happy it makes all the, like, the door guys and stuff that work there. Because they pretty much used to have two nights of open mic, and then they took it away. And so now this is way better for the people that work there. Because that was the only reason why these guys work there, which is just to get spots. So the doorman went up.
Starting point is 02:06:37 Jeff Ross did some time, and I closed it out. I did a half an hour and closed it out. It was all sold out. It was only a buck. It's so cool, right? In that room, it says capacity 57. Yeah's all sold out. It's only a buck. It's so cool, right? In that room, it says capacity 57 and fire marshal.
Starting point is 02:06:50 I think they might be a little bit over. I don't know what they actually get in there, but it's probably about 90. Florentine and I are doing a show there next week. Will you do it with us? If I'm around. Florentine's doing my podcast next week. Yeah, so it's like June 17th. We're doingine's doing my podcast next week. Yeah, so it's like June 17th.

Starting point is 02:07:42 He did that first record in there right In the OR? That's what I heard, right? No. Really? Yeah, I think so. Which one? It's the very first one.
Starting point is 02:07:51 The one that just says Dice? Yeah. He did that in the belly room of the Comedy Store? Let's look it up. I'm looking it up right now. Is that a Dean Del Rey voice? I am.
Starting point is 02:08:00 I'm not Dean Del Rey. Hey, I'll try, dude. Dude, what was the story that you told on Don Marrera's podcast about Joe Walsh? Joe Walsh? Yes. Unbelievable story. Joe Walsh is, first of all, an absolute king.
Starting point is 02:08:15 Let me tell you, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever opened for. He's so cool. You'd think he'd be Joe Walsh. Like, hey, I'm in the Eagles. Who the fuck are those? It wasn't like that at all. But we were eating a deli tray. And he comes into the dressing room.
Starting point is 02:08:31 And he says, hey, don't eat that shit. And we're like, what? Why? And he goes, you don't know what's in there, man. It's just a shitty deli tray. Don't eat it. He's all, I got sick before. And I was like, oh, really?
Starting point is 02:08:44 And he goes yeah let me tell you he goes after he was out of the eagles he had a real low spot where he is partying hard and canceling gigs all the time so he cleaned up and uh the manager said we'll book a tour but if you cancel one show all the shows will be gone. So the first night of the tour, he's backstage eating on the deli tray after sound check. And about a couple hours later, he gets mad food poisoning. And he starts just shitting and shitting. And he's like, what am I? I got to cancel.
Starting point is 02:09:16 And the manager goes, you cancel this gig. The entire tour is gone. So they go to Kmart or whatever was open. And they get the rubber fishing waders. He puts them on. The ones that go up to your tits, the river runs through it fly fishing. He gets on stage and just starts going at it while he's shitting. Like every couple, like every few minutes, he's, oh, you're taking my time, losing my mind
Starting point is 02:09:45 you know and he's shitting into rubber waders then he said mid show he didn't expect this but the heat from the lamp started burning the diarrhea acids on his legs
Starting point is 02:10:00 and he was like and no one looked at Joe Walsh weird for wearing those because he wore weird shit all the time. So they're like man this is a wacky show tonight. He's shitting himself with weirs on. Good for him though. First minute I met him
Starting point is 02:10:18 that's the story he told me and I hope it's true. It's so great man. What a great story. I love the Eagles, man. No, the Eagles are amazing. Rocky Mountain High or Rocky Mountain Way is one of my favorite songs ever. Oh, man. I love that song.
Starting point is 02:10:31 I love the one that he did, Shoes. Bum, bum. Bum, bum. What you gonna do tonight, then, mama? You know, he wrote that one on Long Run. It's great. Life's Been Good to Me So Far. Oh, great one. It's a great fucking song. Oh's Been Good to Me So Far. Oh, great one.
Starting point is 02:10:45 It's a great fucking song. And it's also one of those songs about a guy talking about, you know what, I'm just going to keep doing this. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm living a retarded rock and roll life. I got arrested. I'm doing stupid shit.
Starting point is 02:10:59 But Life's Been Good to Me So Far. Yeah. That should be my theme song, man. Yeah. I love it it he's in the fucking eagles you know all the legendary bands and that was the one that was featured in the big lebowski remember when the dude hey oh man the fucking eagles yeah he needed the eagles i remember being offended going how could you hit the eagles yeah hotel california yeah the fuck do you hate Hotel California?

Starting point is 02:11:37 Desperado? Oh, yeah, man. Right? This shit is great. Those guys are legends, man. Just handfuls of songs. Yeah, they had some great writing, too. Hotel California is like one of the all-time great songs.
Starting point is 02:11:51 It really is. I love it. That and Life in the Fast Lane, man. Oh, yeah. Those two, man. They had some amazing, amazing fucking songs. What happened with those guys? They didn't get along.
Starting point is 02:11:59 They broke up, and they got back together again when they realized how much money was involved? Yeah, I remember they did the Hells. They said, we'll get back together when Hell freezes over. And then in 96, I think it was, it was called the Hell freezes over tour. I was glad because I never got to see them. And they opened. I saw them at the Shoreline in the Bay Area. And they opened with Hotel California.
Starting point is 02:12:17 I go, can you even fucking, you opening with Hotel California, man? You know you're in for a great concert. You lion eyes. That's a great fucking song. Great one, man. You know you're in for a great concert. You lion eyes. That's a great fucking song. Great one, man. Great one. I really like the Long Run record. A lot of people don't like it.
Starting point is 02:12:32 It's the last one before they broke up. It's just pure cocaine. But man, it had some good songs on it. I'm Already Gone. Yeah, Already Gone. Already Gone is a great fucking song. Yeah. They had some jams.
Starting point is 02:12:45 They did, man. Those are some driving songs, too. You know, like if you're in your car and those come on, you go, fuck yeah. Yeah. Fuck yeah. I love that, those guys. They have three voices. That's what's a great band.
Starting point is 02:12:57 You got Glenn Frey, who had a cool hit on Miami Vice. Remember Smuggler's Blues? Yeah, yeah. That's a great one. Then you have Joe Walsh sings, and then you have Don Henley sings. And then even the bass player sings that one. I can't tell you why. That's a great song.
Starting point is 02:13:18 Yeah, that guy's great, man. That's a great song. That's a great song. Wow, that's right. That's Eagles, too. Yeah, man. That's great. So many hits. That era, man. There man so many hits get so those that era man there's so much good music out of that era it's weird how music comes in big waves like that i guess comedy
Starting point is 02:13:33 does too yeah right now it's a huge wave this is probably the biggest wave i've ever seen yeah comedy wise i think this is the biggest wave i've ever seen we were talking about that the other night at the store we were like this is the golden era of comedy and everybody agreed like at all like sarah silverman was on stage killing i was hanging out with burr we were we were in the backstage we're talking about comedy today and this bird just got back from like 18 sold out shows yeah i was in there with you it was just create that show it was crazy amazing but we were talking about it we're like is this has there ever been a better time for stand-up than right now and we were all like there's not there's no better i don't think there's ever been a better time with like more like big name headliners and more young guys coming up like the store i've been around the
Starting point is 02:14:14 store i took a seven year break but i started there in 94 i never saw a crop of hungry dedicated new guys like now there's like a there was always like a few guys that were okay. And I would like find those guys and try to help them. I would grab them. Like, look, you could stay alive, but you got to keep moving, you know? But now it's like, they have their own ecosystem. It's a totally different thing. There's way more power like that, that having that, uh, roast battle and all these different,
Starting point is 02:14:41 like these bonding shows, they have these bonding shows, you know? Absolutely. They're creating a complete, uh, environment of like, these bonding shows. They have these bonding shows, you know? Absolutely. Creating a complete environment of art, man. Yeah. You know? It's like there's no one around going, sorry, man, you look like this or that or you're too old or you're too young.
Starting point is 02:14:56 It's like, hey, we're all here. Yeah. And we're creating this. But those people that say that, they're always the problem. Yeah, they are. Those people that you're too young, you're too old, you're too this,
Starting point is 02:15:06 you're too that, you're too tall, you're too this, you're too that, you're too tall, you're too short. Those people are always wrong. They're always wrong. Because guys like Joey Diaz just exist. Exactly. And they don't, you can't ever script that. You can't hope for that to walk through your door. You can't turn a guy into that.
Starting point is 02:15:21 That is what it is. And he's the funniest guy. If this is the funniest time for comedy, I think it is, I think Joey Diaz is the funniest guy that's ever lived. I really do. I don't think there's ever been any funnier. I've seen Kinnison live. I've seen Hicks live.
Starting point is 02:15:36 When I saw Pryor live, it was already really late in his life. But no one has ever crushed in front of me like Joey Diaz has. The other night, he did the comedy story, did the OR, and I had a post about it on Instagram. I was like, he just broke the world. It was insane. People were falling out of their chairs. They were screaming.
Starting point is 02:15:54 People were screaming, laughing, screaming. And the great thing, though, is that he has a guy like you who shouts it out. That's not like, well, this is my world. You know, like the old world where people would be like, this is all me and I'm not letting anybody else in. Yeah, well, there's always
Starting point is 02:16:10 a group of people back then where they had to be everybody had to be the best. There was like one guy who had to be the guy, whether it was Dice, whether it was Kinison, there was always one guy that was the best and he thought of as the best. And then he would have guys around him, but those guys always sucked.
Starting point is 02:16:25 They just weren't that good. Somebody called them satellite comics. They weren't that good, but like, Diaz is the funniest guy alive. He's the funniest guy ever. He's the guy I take with me on the road. That's great. Whenever I can, whenever he's not busy.
Starting point is 02:16:39 But now it sucks, because everybody knows I can't take him with me anywhere. He's always busy. He sells out everywhere. He's just crushed Denver. Just came in like a fucking tornado. He hadn't been there. He'd been banned from that club forever. Wow.
Starting point is 02:16:53 I'm headlining there at the end of the month. That place is amazing. First time ever. I love that place. It's amazing. That's where I filmed my last comedy special. I know, man. My Comedy Central special.
Starting point is 02:17:01 I knew that when I went in there. I was like, this is the one where you did your special. Rocky Mountain High, right? Yeah. And then I go in there, and after the first joke I drop, in my head I go, oh, I get it. Yeah. The way that fucking rock cave hits, and the people are on the stage. That place is alive.
Starting point is 02:17:20 It's electric. It's a crazy little club. Crazy, crazy, crazy little club. But it's just this time man This is very unprecedented where all these comedians are supporting each other, too It's not like that whole backstabby Johnny Carson type thing We were talking about before I used to be like that with comedy too, but it's not like that anymore Everybody's like this is a great group of people supporting each other now. I got lucky
Starting point is 02:17:42 I didn't come in in the 90s group of people supporting each other now. I got lucky I didn't come in in the 90s. You know what I mean? You would have been fine. A lot of people already came in the 90s. Yeah, but I'm just saying it was like there wasn't much of a scene. It was after that 80s gold rush.
Starting point is 02:17:55 Well, that's when I came in. I came in in 94. That's when I arrived at the store. It was the worst time ever. Wow. The time when I came in, when I first got there, it was the worst era for the store ever. Wow. There was, you would go there on a Monday or a Tuesday or whatever, and you would see dog shit.
Starting point is 02:18:10 Wow. Those guys were, there was terrible comedy going on. A bunch of them. And the guy who ran it was a fucking drunk, and the whole thing was a mess. It was pre-Tommy. It was another guy who ran it. This fucking thing was a disaster. That's crazy.
Starting point is 02:18:24 Yeah. Oh, God. There were so many leftovers that should have made it from the 80s but didn't, and they fell apart, and they were still doing the same material. Wow. You know how you get a few of those guys? Occasionally, you'll see one of those guys today that still has the same act for 20, like he'll be at the Ha Ha or Giggles or something like that.
Starting point is 02:18:41 It's crazy, right? Yeah. You're like, whoa, this guy doesn't have, this is some old material. Yeah. You know? Well, that was what you've got in the 90s, but there were guys from the 80s because there was a big wave. In the 80s, the wave was like from like 80, early 80s to like late 80s.
Starting point is 02:19:00 And then it started to die off into the 90s. The comedy club started closing. The Boston scene collapsed. All those evening improv shows kind of drifted away. There was a bunch of those shows for a while. And then they slowly all faded away. And that was in the early 90s. And that's when I came around.
Starting point is 02:19:16 The leftovers. There was so much bad comedy. And there was very few people. There was no one from my era that started off in 94 that's around today wow at at the comedy store yeah like no one no one that i could think of i can't think of one guy who was with me back then who was in like my state you know i was i was already headlining on the road and i had a television show but realistically i learned how to do stand-up at the store yeah that's badass realistically yeah that's Yeah, that's me, too. That's where I learned.
Starting point is 02:19:45 I had some jokes. I knew a little bit about comedy, but I really learned it at the store. That OR just fucking... It changes all rules. And it gets you ready when you're out on the road. You go, oh, I've seen this. In the belly room is the OR compressed to a diamond.
Starting point is 02:20:01 Yeah, I love the belly room. It's like half of an OR. It's like half the OR. It's like this... That thing's a fort. I love the belly room. It's like half of OR. That thing's a fort. I call it a comedy fort. You go upstairs, you're in the fort, and it just feels good. You're looking at naked pictures. Until one day it collapses.
Starting point is 02:20:18 Especially those roast battle nights. I don't even like going up there those nights. This is going to go in the kitchen. This whole place is going to be full. This is going to go in the kitchen. We're going to lay it in the fryer later. How you paranoid? Not enough people in here.
Starting point is 02:20:33 It's great now with Periscope though because all of us just sit and watch it on Periscope now because it's got three feeds. You've got to be there though, dude. I'm going to judge in a couple weeks. I can't wait. You know what the problem with Periscope is though? It's people that are outside of it are not going to get it and they're going to judge in a couple weeks. I can't wait. You know what the problem with Periscope is, though? That people that are outside of it are not going to get it, and they're going to get angry.
Starting point is 02:20:49 Like at the whites-only table, and all the racism, and the black wave. There's like, what are they called? The Negro wave? What are they called? My boy Jeremiah Watkins is in that. He's white, though. He's allowed. Yeah, yeah. It's a whole thing. It's a magic place.
Starting point is 02:21:06 And Kill Tony, too, is a big part of that, too. Yeah, yeah. You guys doing that podcast out of there and getting all these young people, getting this one-minute shot. And it made Kim and it made Sarah. You know, like those girls came out of that, and now they've got careers. Now things are happening for them. Well, that's a good support group, you know, when you have a podcast
Starting point is 02:21:24 and other people in America are listening. They go, man, I think I could try that, you know? Yeah. Well, I get these tweets all the time from people. Like, they'll see the show that we'll put together on the Ice House or something like that. Yeah. And they'll be like, fuck, I live in the wrong place. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:21:38 This is crazy that you guys have these shows there on a regular basis. I know, right? The other night it was Diaz, Irera, Brian Callen, me, and Duncan. Oh, my God. It was just a fucking tornado hit that place. It was insane. Dude, all those guys on their own make me laugh so fucking hard, man. Like Tom Irera, I went on the road with him, and, man, I just laughed my ass off the whole time.
Starting point is 02:22:06 On stage, off stage, eating, whatever. He's just always great. Like, look at you. You'd be a fun one to be on the road with, Dom. He's so funny and so cool, and he's been in it forever. He worries me with his drinking, though. That's the only thing I worry about Dom is that he's getting older, and he can't hit it hard every night. Pop a Xanax and keep boozing.
Starting point is 02:22:27 Yeah, that Xanax thing. When he first came on the podcast, he was all fucked up on Xanax. He talked about all that. Well, I think he still takes them every night. He takes one every day. But he likes it. Yep. For whatever reason, you know?
Starting point is 02:22:40 I don't know. He's great, man. He's great. You need an addiction? Yeah, I need to go back to cigarettes or something Why would you say that mine's just quit we just quit cigarettes for like four days That's it, and you're like I need to go back to cigarettes as if it was a long time ago It's going to pop off.
Starting point is 02:23:01 Of course it is. You can just tell. Because you're just like nonstop. Because I've made a fort out of five coffee stirrers. If you stub your toe, you'll use it as an excuse. Fuck this. I need a cigarette. Stub my toe. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:23:13 I scuffed my new sneakers. This is bullshit. I need a cigarette. Oh, man. You just got to need to escape. And you got to be really careful about that because you're doing something that's going to eventually give you an illness. And most likely
Starting point is 02:23:30 one of those incurable ones like lung cancer. And if that happens, dude, you'll be thinking like Johnny Carson was. Like Johnny Carson, before he died, would just walk around the house with an oxygen mask and go, those fucking cigarettes. And that's all he would say, those goddamn cigarettes. Those fucking cigarettes.
Starting point is 02:23:50 I quit him, man. It it was brutal but it's like i was telling brian i saw this guy he was 30 and he used to hang out at this bar i'd go to all the time one day he showed up he goes yeah i'm gonna be coming here for the rest of my life and i go yeah i know you're here every day and he goes no i just got six months to live got lung cancer, but it was from asbestos or something, but he also smoked. But I saw him whittle away in three months. He looked like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. He had the oxygen thing, and he came in, and I was like, I'm off these, man. And I got to fuck off him. It scared me, because he was just 30 and dead.
Starting point is 02:24:22 He's dead now? Oh, he died instantly. That was in 1990. Lung cancer's not cute. It's gross, man. I need an addiction. I need an addiction. I should go back to cigarettes.
Starting point is 02:24:36 I'm in a pill addiction. That'll help you. Xanax, I just don't get why. Everyone I know is either on Adderall or Xanax. They either have an up or a down. And you talk to these people and you're like, oh, no, I only like downers. Or I only like uppers. Everyone seems like they're on something for one of those two things.
Starting point is 02:24:55 People are trying to self-medicate. I'm trying to go the full clean route. Just to see. My memory is fire right now. I quit caffeine. My memory is incredible. Because you quit caffeine caffeine. Yeah, I was all kind of I would just drink like 10 coffees a day Then I'd be on stage and I'd just be like Blurred man like sometimes they get a twitch up here too much caffeine you ever get that it's twitching here while you're on stage
Starting point is 02:25:21 Is that what that's from? Caffeine or sleep deprivation. Man, I'd get this twitch and it wouldn't stop and I'd be like, God damn it, my eye. I love how you guys are doctors. You're self-diagnosing. I'm getting canker sores from Mentos and this guy's getting twitches from coffee. Oh, for sure.
Starting point is 02:25:37 Definitely from the coffee. Not from all the coke you did throughout the fucking 25 years you were stuffing it through your fucking nose cavity. Oh, man. I've had some close calls on coke. Fuck. Really?
Starting point is 02:25:49 Heart attack calls? I had the numb arm, you know. The numb arm? Yeah. Marin had a numb arm, too. He did a bit about it. But I was in Laurel Canyon. I remember there was just the first time I ever really saw a pyramid of coke.
Starting point is 02:26:03 Like, people tried to do that because of Scarface. Right. You go to parties and they go, they had a pyramid of coke like people tried to do that because the scarface Right you go to parties and they go they had a pyramid of coke Wow, yeah, so you went to how many people are stealing it like putting it in a little while Yeah, that's what I that's what you think right but but like the people that are there They're just like yeah, there's plenty of coke you know how much does something like that cost like a pyramid of coke That would probably be a key of coke. How much does a key cost? It's like a brick. How much is a key?
Starting point is 02:26:26 I don't know. Back then, that's big money. Back then, an eight ball was $3.50, three and a half grams. Okay, well, just give me a guesstimate. Let's say $5,000, $10,000. Well, you think about the amount of money that some people spend on parties just for catering and shit. Yeah, right. Having a band play and fucking ice sculpture.
Starting point is 02:26:47 Yeah. Why not have a big, giant brick of Coke? Yeah, absolutely. And it looked pretty impressive when you come in. You go, well, that's an actual pyramid of Coke. But if you got busted, if the cops came, they'd probably bust you for distribution. Oh, that's prison there. That's a Kia blow.
Starting point is 02:27:02 You know? You can't go, we're having a party. You know what I mean? What kind of party party there's nine guys yeah yeah it's a joe walsh party bitch get out of here i went over and i just kind of scooped a pile off of it and i oh my god like you know you can't tell you're not lucky this looks good here just and i blasted it up and i I swear to God, about a minute later, I was like, oh. My arm was totally numb, and I was like, oh, fuck. It was problems, you know? So do you think that it was cut with anything?
Starting point is 02:27:35 Was it pure? No, it was just clean, super coke, you know? You know, like real coke. You're not used to doing some super good coke. And I go up to the guy, I go, hey, dude, you got to call an ambulance. And he's like, no way, man. That'll attract heat. You got to ride it out, dude.
Starting point is 02:27:55 You got to ride it out. And that's the same thing Marin was talking about when he ate too much Chinese food. Ride it out, you know? And you're like, dude.

Starting point is 02:31:35 Yeah, she's invited me back to her house with this girl. I'm hanging out with these two girls, periscoping, and then I'm like, wait a second. There's a 65-year-old man creepily watching me. Is that the one that threw up? Who was he? I don't know. He was just some doctor. Periscoping and I'm like wait a second. There's a 65 year old man creepily watching me Who was he I don't know he's some doctor that Was that the one that threw up with these two girls what one threw up on you hold on wait a minute hold on Jesus Christ a Doctor wanted you to play with this
Starting point is 02:32:02 I think just wanted to watch us play together like all three of us just hanging out So you and the two girls and the guy was just like whacking off in the corner? No, he wasn't whacking off. He was just hanging out there just doing this weird smile. Did you talk to him at all? I tried to, but he was weird. So I was just like, whatever. I was just, these two girls are drunk right here. So I'll just hang out with them.
Starting point is 02:32:18 And so we were periscoping. Was it his house? I'm starting to think it was. Whoa. Was it his house? I'm starting to think it was. Whoa. Could you imagine if you get to that point where you're so desperado as a sugar daddy that you tell girls, look, I don't even care if you bring guys back.
Starting point is 02:32:33 Yeah. I think that's what it was. You live here, you bring guys back, you do whatever you want. Just let me hang out. Just let me jerk off in your mouth every couple of days. Yeah. I ran out. That is awesome.
Starting point is 02:32:45 I mean, I was pretty sick. Hey, man, who is that guy? People have to do what they have to do to get by in this world, man. People have to fucking survive. If you're living on the streets in Bangladesh, all right, you got to walk barefoot and carry a basket on your head. If you're a 65-year-old dude and you got a house in the Hollywood Hills and you want to get laid and you're not famous, what do you do?
Starting point is 02:33:01 You're not Lemmy from Motorhead, bitch. You got to let these girls live in your house and bring home dudes. You've got to do it. You're like, we can't stay. We need to bring home guys. Bring them here. Don't disturb me when I'm beating off. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's basically the whole recipe of the Playboy Mansion. In a lot of ways, yeah.
Starting point is 02:33:20 Well, there was a house that I looked at. There was one point in time where I was thinking I should probably live in The Hollywood Hills be easier to get to the store. I get home quicker. I get more work done I'm like I could live anywhere I thought about it for a very short period time like maybe a couple weeks and I looked at this one house and the house That I looked at was really cool And this guy had this glass back window like his entire back of his house was glass And he was a guy that invented bell bottoms
Starting point is 02:33:46 oh allegedly this was a story behind this guy and uh they used to call him wild man this guy used to show up at it is when eddie bravo was a dj strip strip club and uh eddie uh used to work the strip club and this guy was rich as fuck and he would come in and he would pay like a shit load of money to get these girls to come back to his place. He would go to strip clubs all throughout the Valley, go everywhere he wanted. He had like a whole place that he would go during the day and he would get these girls. And the story was that this guy was a straight laced guy who smoked a lot of cigarettes and he went to the doctor and the doctor said, listen, man, you're going to die.
Starting point is 02:34:21 You got to stop smoking cigarettes. You're going to die. Look, if you need to smoke, smoke weed. Yeah. yeah okay smoke pot it's not it doesn't give you cancer so this guy starts smoking pot joints all day long just one changes his life decides you know what man i don't want to work anymore i have money you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna just play guitar and i'm gonna get hookers so this is what the guy decided to do just play guitar and get hookers but apparently he was really mean to them which is sort of the opposite of what you expect from potheads, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:34:48 Bell bottom creator. Expect gentle. Yep. Apparently he used to call it like boot camping them. Whoa. He would boot camp these girls. He would treat them like shit. He would pay them a lot of money.
Starting point is 02:34:58 He would treat them like shit. And he got off on the fact that he was this gross old guy and he would get these hot young girls and he would do mean stuff to them. Well, this guy was selling his house. So I went to look at the house and I remember looking around and I was thinking, wow, this house is like really expensive and it's right there on the street. And then I remember thinking like,
Starting point is 02:35:17 this guy has like been bringing these hookers back to this place. So it's like a lot of people are probably going to think that this guy is, you know, an asshole and they're going to rob him or something. Like, what if I buy it? And they go looking for wild man. I'm like, yo, I live here now.
Starting point is 02:35:30 Two weeks after I thought that, he was killed in that house. He brought a girl home. And apparently the girl brought guys with her. And they fucking shot him in the neck. Well, boogie night style. Yeah, shot him in the neck. And he bled out right in the front where I was walking around looking around.
Starting point is 02:35:48 Right when I was looking around his house going, this fucking guy could get shot in this place. Wow. It was funny because I brought that up, and the guy who was selling the house, the real estate guy goes, don't worry, there's a state-of-the-art security system, cameras everywhere.
Starting point is 02:36:01 And I go, you know what those cameras are going to show? They're going to show a dude in a ski mask shooting somebody. Yeah, yeah. Good luck trying to figure that're showing what the fuck are you talking about when I said that to the guy the guy was like you know the salesman like you trying to sell motorcycles yeah just bullshit trying to sell this fucking badass Hollywood Hills house um but I bet they just fucking sucked that blood out with a vacuum cleaned it up nice and sold that bitch within a week those houses they, they go like that up there. That's some Don Simpson shit. You ever read that book, High Concept?
Starting point is 02:36:29 No. He was the producer that did all the blockbusters. He invented the blockbuster right after Jaws. So Top Gun. What's the race one? Days of Thunder. Days of Thunder. He was a lunatic.
Starting point is 02:36:41 He'd get streetwalkers, bring them up to his mansion. They had a fucking like a 20-foot fence all the way around and they'd be like you're gonna eat poo and shit like that why he just whiffed coke and fucking went nuts high concept read the book it's awesome something hilarious about a guy on coke saying you're gonna eat poo. Yeah, this feels like that language. It's like for five-year-old That book is crazy Hollywood weirdos back then that's so fucked This is that thing that men want to hire women to get them to do degrading shit
Starting point is 02:37:17 That's so busy by the way. This is coming from the host of Fear Factor But the idea that someone would that that's what they get off on. They get off on taking someone who desperately needs the money, bringing them to their own house where they live and sleep. You're haunting that place with the memories of you boot camping. Boot camping. Yeah, that's what he used to call it. What a word. That was his expression.
Starting point is 02:37:40 Yeah, fucking. He smoked a lot of cigarettes during his life, so he had that raspy cigarette voice. Yeah. Like, yeah, boot camp him. I remember when I met the guy, I felt really creeped out by him. Like, I wouldn't want to buy a house from an asshole. No. You know?
Starting point is 02:37:54 No. Just that alone, I wouldn't want. I'm just not interested in buying some asshole's house. No. Because I think the asshole vibe would stay. Asshole spirit. Yeah, it would stay in the house, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:38:04 There's some creepy shit in the Hollywood Hills that has gone down over the last hundred years. And it's just kind of like, there's ghosts up there, man. Well, if you didn't know that the guy was an asshole, that'd be one thing. And you took it over and you're like, I'll turn it into my house. I'll have a nice party with my friends over. This is my house now. Hey, house, I'm just letting you know, no more boot camping. We're going to be nice to you.
Starting point is 02:38:26 This house is going to be barbecues and hugs and good times. No more boot camping. And we'll fucking swim together. Everyone's going to be nice here. No boot camping. No more boot camping, man. I love it. But if you know that it was an asshole's house, it's tough to do.
Starting point is 02:38:46 It's tough to buy. You'd have other choices. I wouldn't want to buy someone's. It's kind of like Joey Diaz's bathroom. That's the most hauntedest fucked up place in the world. Imagine living in his place after. I would buy Joey Diaz's house in a heartbeat. Joey Diaz had a house and it was for sale.
Starting point is 02:38:59 I'd probably buy it just to make sure nobody else had it. My buddies moved into Joey Diaz's apartment building over there. Oh, that place? Yeah, yeah. Oh, no. That's the worst place. That place is crazy. It's crazy, right?
Starting point is 02:39:12 Lucas Hurdle lives there. I was there during the day when Ralphie lived across the hall from Doug Stanhope, who lived right down the street from Joey, and Joey was staying with Gavin. Oh. Oh, my God. It was chaos. Comedy corner. That was a crazy comedy, like, squat house.
Starting point is 02:39:29 Yeah. They're in there now. Luke is the bartender at the store. Luke lives there? Yeah, Luke lives there. Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, and then my other buddy, Steve Henry, he moved in, so it's like comedy. It's across the street from the gay MCA, right?
Starting point is 02:39:41 That's right. Yeah, yeah. How much does it cost to even rent that place? $9.50. It's good for the size. the gay MCA, right? That's right, yeah, yeah. How much does it cost to even rent that place? $9.50. It's good for the size. For a one-bedroom? Yeah, it's like a massive studio with a separate kitchen and everything, but you've got a garage and stuff. Hey, for Hollywood, that's pretty goddamn good.
Starting point is 02:39:54 It is, man. You know, if one of those places would be a good idea to do a podcast studio, too. You're so right. You know, like, think about how much you have to pay at the Ice House. You could get, like get an actual studio apartment. Where's your studio? My studio's in a studio. Me and a couple of comics were actually thinking about
Starting point is 02:40:10 they're building condos across the street eventually. They're tearing down that house of blues. What? Yeah, that's going down. I think three more months, it's close, right? Yeah, three more months. And so they're building condos there. So me and a few comics were like,
Starting point is 02:40:23 we should just rent, all chip in, like $300 a a month or whatever and rent a place we could always just crash there if we want to yeah yeah one of those losers gonna wind up living there and fuck it up yeah yeah true yeah getting high on boot camping fucked up drugs boot camp oh my god dude i'm never gonna forget that you'll never forget it my friend larry who Oh, my God. Boot camp. Oh, my God, dude. I'm never going to forget that time. You'll never forget it. My friend Larry, who used to live in the Hollywood Hills, had the most amazing view I've ever seen in my life up there. To this day, I've seen some dope views of nature.
Starting point is 02:40:57 Like, nature views are my favorite views, but nature views don't work at night. At night, you just see dark mountains. But Larry had a place at the top of Doheny, and the view was like Blade Runner. It was like it didn't seem real. You would look out, you're like, I didn't know anybody got to see this. The view of all those lights from a certain height,
Starting point is 02:41:19 you don't want to be too high up. You see it from an airplane, it looks pretty dope, but there's something about being at the top of that Doheny area where you get this grid effect with this amazing light show at night. We would go out to his place. I would bring people by his house just to look at the view at night.
Starting point is 02:41:35 You just gotta see this. Especially on a clear night after it rained. Oh my god. It was amazing. Pauly Schwarzhaus would fuck you up. Same thing? He's right at the top of Runyon. 360. It was amazing. Pauly Schwarzhaus would fuck you up. Same thing? Same kind of thing? He's right at the top of Runyon. 360.
Starting point is 02:41:49 Oh, geez. 360. You got Century City. You got The Grove. Then over here you have downtown. Then behind him, he has all the hills like Runyon and everything. It's just with this spill-off infinity pool and shit. Well, that would be one of those houses, though, where you'd wonder about the boot camping.
Starting point is 02:42:07 Oh, yeah. You'd be wandering around going, this house might be haunted. Hey, buddy! You'd have to bring in some vegans to have a fucking... Vegan seance? Yeah, you'd have to have, like,
Starting point is 02:42:18 some sort of a yogi. And that's not in an infinity pool. That's a hooker bath. The drain's just pubic hair and condoms. It was an infinity pool. That's a hooker bath. It drains just pubic hair and condoms. It was an amazing pad. He said he bought it from the MTV money in the 80s, and he still owns it, man. Does he rent it out now? Yeah, he just rents it out.
Starting point is 02:42:34 That's a good move. Yeah. Real estate in the Hollywood Hills is a great investment. That's smart. Well, Pauly's been smart with his money like that. He really has. That's a smart move. He owns that place above.
Starting point is 02:42:43 Well, he sold it to Scott, right? Yeah, yeah, right. The one right behind it, the house behind it. That's a really has. That's a smart move. He owns that place above, well, he sold it to Scott, right? Yeah, yeah, right. The one right behind it, the house behind it. Yeah. That's a great spot. That's a great spot. If someone had that spot, the place that's right at the top of that little hill. It's dangerous. He asked me to run it for a while. Run that house? He's like, you live and pick the good room and then
Starting point is 02:42:59 pick like four guys that you want to live with and you can, you know. It's a great idea. Yeah. A comedy house like they used to have on Crest Hill. Totally. Yeah, exactly. But my only worry was like the comics moving out every couple months. Like, I can't make rent. And then all of a sudden you're this landlord instead of just a roommate.
Starting point is 02:43:16 You know, it's like, sounds like work. Yeah. Yeah. You got to collect money, chase people down. Whenever you're dealing with broke dudes, it's always a disaster. It's brutal, man. Which is exactly what you would deal with if you got a... You would wind up having your name on the condo because you're the older guy.
Starting point is 02:43:31 They'd be like, well, just we'll pay you. And then, hey, man, you can just sell my part out to someone else. Like, what? The fuck? Nobody wants it. Yeah, I know. Fuck you. And then how about this?
Starting point is 02:43:38 You got rent. Why are you being a dick, man? I thought we were bros. I did. It's rent. That's the best. That's the best. Come on, man. You got money. You owe owe money that's not what's going on here yeah don't get mad at me
Starting point is 02:43:50 you fuck it's crazy man that's the worst the worst is when broke people that owe money turn it around and get upset at you yeah oh yeah how about how about what you know dude we're we're living here yeah now i have to pay your part you know some people just always look for some sort of an excuse to not have to contribute it's just and when you're dealing with starving struggling artists it's the same sort of mentality that makes people flick cigarettes out the window it's not thinking about anybody but themselves yeah exactly exactly that's a cigarette thing too man there's something about poisoning your body with cigarettes i've always wondered like i was hanging out with a telly the other day i didn't bring it Exactly. Exactly. That's a cigarette thing, too, man. There's something about poisoning your body with cigarettes.
Starting point is 02:44:25 I've always wondered. I was hanging out with a telly the other day. I didn't bring it up because I love them, but it's a smoke cigarette dropped on the ground, stepped on it, left it there. And I was like, dude, you know that's littering. Would you do that with a wrapper? Would you do that with a can? It was glamorized growing up with James Dean stepping on the cigarette or flicking it.
Starting point is 02:44:43 It used to always be a thing that even cops would do. It never was considered a litter. And you say something in the end like, and then we went to boot camp, and you throw it down. And I boot camped her. You want five grand? You're going to fucking earn it. Get in the house and put on the gloves.
Starting point is 02:45:05 Put on the waders. My favorite joke is as they're driving this Prius, oh, I'm saving the environment. They flick a cigarette out of their fucking Prius. Dude, I've had a running tally on this show about people in Priuses that I've seen throw cigarettes out the window. It's up to eight. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 02:45:23 I've seen eight people in a Prius throw a cigarette out the window. Yeah. It's like, don't tell me you're driving that Prius for the environment. You're a fucking liar. Well, they're doing it to save some money. You know, Priuses are cheap. It's cheap on gas. You could drive one of those things.
Starting point is 02:45:34 Daniel Cormier, the UFC light heavyweight champ, he has one. He said it costs like, you know, 30 bucks to fill up and it lasts a month. Yeah, I went to San Fran with another comic in it. and we put like $26 in it, and we were there. I was like, are you kidding? Like, my motorcycle, I stopped three times. They're great on gas, but they're dogshit cars. Oh, they're just gross. Uber's killed it for me, man.
Starting point is 02:45:57 I've been in so many Priuses lately that every Uber driver has one. Prius is the track home of cars. That's what it is It's a track home. They all look the same. You just go in you go Where's mine you ever leave the arc light and you go look at the fucking Prius is in here How do you find you where you want to go? Yeah, that's all it is Everybody had one of those it wouldn't be so dangerous Yeah, but the problem is other people have fucking trucks, you know and semis and shit and you have a Prius Yeah, Prius get hit by a semi
Starting point is 02:46:29 Christ After I got rear-ended man. I started really reconsidering the type of automobile. I drive I'm like this, you know the Porsche took the hit pretty good because it's designed German engineering and has a crash beam in the back that absorbs the impact, but I didn't get hit that hard either. You know, I mean, you think about all these fucking idiots out there. Like I told you about Van Owen Street, these caved-in cars from assholes that are just texting or sleeping or whatever the fuck they're doing. That's the problem with driving is the other people.
Starting point is 02:46:57 You're dealing with so many variables. It's insane out there. None of them have insurance either. Half these people on our roads don't even have licenses and insurance, whatever. Yeah, it's brutal out there. None of them have insurance either. Half these people on our roads don't even have licenses and insurance. Whatever. Yeah, it's brutal out there, man. I'm on a motorcycle and I just laugh. I'll look right at a guy, Joe.
Starting point is 02:47:14 I'm riding. The guy will look at me. He'll look like this. He sees me, puts his blinker on, and just starts coming over. He doesn't give a fuck. He knows you're going to move. So I start honking like, hey, man, I'm right here. Hey.
Starting point is 02:47:27 And then now he won't look. Like, oh, I don't hear you. I'm coming over here. I need this lane. And they just. Well, they know that they can bully you. That's it. They can push you over.
Starting point is 02:47:37 Did you see that video of the guy in the BMW? And there's a guy in a motorcycle that has a GoPro on his helmet. Oh, that's unbelievable. I can't believe it. He goes, get off the fucking phone. Stay off the phone. You're driving. So then the guy runs him off the road.
Starting point is 02:47:48 Yeah, he hits him. Hits him on purpose. There's a video of the kid looking to his left, looking to his left, and boom, he gets hit. And you just hear him go, oh, oh, fuck. Yeah. Oh, and this guy picks him up. He's like, 911, I've been hit. They should find whoever has that fucking BMW and beat the fucking
Starting point is 02:48:06 holy shit out of them. I fucking believe in that big tail, man. What a cunt. What a piece of shit. That's a human on a vehicle. Easily could have been paralyzed. Easily could have been dead. Easily could have been run over in the other direction. He could have kids. You know, he loses his job, he's got broke legs now,
Starting point is 02:48:22 and he loses his house and everything from this fucking dick that's like, I gotta get to my job, fuck you. Well, that wasn't what he was doing on purpose. Yeah, he did it on purpose. He did it because that guy had said to him, get off your phone. First he honks at him. He goes, hey, get off your phone, and then he pulls up. And then the guy's like, honk.
Starting point is 02:48:38 And he turns, he looks. Then he starts riding left. It looks like he's on to Santa Monica off of La Perea there. And then, boom, the car hits him. Yeah, most likely the kid did not have his... Oh, here it is. Yeah, we don't... We'll end this.
Starting point is 02:48:55 It doesn't have the fucking plate. No. So he really doesn't know. I know. It has to be a traffic camera or something. Yeah, well, one would hope so, but a traffic camera is probably most likely not going to get the... This is in, like, serious fucking...
Starting point is 02:49:08 That's on La Brea there, you know? By Alan Nates. So this kid keeps looking back because apparently he's, like, right on him. Right there. Right in front of Coy. Whoa. Jesus Christ. Look at this, man.
Starting point is 02:49:24 So they just cut him off. Yeah. He just got in front of them. Wow. This guy helps him up. You shouldn't help a guy out when he gets hit like that. I know. He might be fucked up.
Starting point is 02:49:37 Yeah. Wow. I was furious when I saw this. Visit my crowdfunding site. That wasn't the car pulled over, right? The car took off. No, no, the car took off. It was a black Beamer.
Starting point is 02:49:48 No, it wasn't black. Right here? No, no, it was before that. It was, you could see it before it. You could see the color before it. Before it? Right. The beginning, Jamie?
Starting point is 02:50:01 Yeah, see? It's a Beamer on the left, right? Yeah, it's a Beameramer but it looks like it's yeah look like kind of a grayish i can't believe the guy did that yeah if you anybody knows who did that yeah fucking find him please that guy needs to be in jail that is such a cunt move before you go you got to hear this story joe gilby clark from guns and roses he was hit on his motorcycle on ventura Boulevard about five years ago. Guy hits and runs him.
Starting point is 02:50:29 Two years after that, Gilby Hospital for six months, can't walk, plates in his legs, a cane. Guy hit him and ran. The guy's at a party two years later. He's telling the dude, yeah, man, I hit a guy a couple years ago on a motorcycle. I just kept going, man. He's kind of drunk. The guy goes, really? He goes, yeah, over on Ventura Boulevard, man. These bikers,
Starting point is 02:50:54 fuck them, man. I mean, you know, I don't know. I hit him. I don't know what happened. The guy knew Gilby. Called him and goes, I got the guy. He's at this party two years later, they sent the police over and it was the dude. He told the story at a
Starting point is 02:51:10 party. So this guy is not going to be able to... First of all, he has some damage on his car. He hit the bike. Most likely. So he's got something on the side of his car. Unless he just bumped the wheel. Yeah, maybe. He might have bumped the wheel from behind. But he's gonna tell someone
