Starting point is 00:04:59 i guess not like today where i'm fucking yelling at my wife all day then i would have taken an hour of fucking compliments from a hot girl. How about it done more than that? I'm just being honest. I mean, I'm just saying. What the fuck? Come on. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:05:16 I mean, I've been with my wife 20 years. My old man walks by in a pair of fucking wet bathing suit. I get harder at this point. She had bugs. She had bugs. I never heard that one. She had bugs in her snatch. I just made that up. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Well, we used to call a snatch a bug in college. I picked that up at University of Maine. They used to go, how's your bug? To a girl that we, you know... How's your bug? That's what we called a vagina bug. How is it? Before I go down there, how's your bug? To a girl that we, you know. How's your bug? How's your bug? That's what we call the vagina bug. How is it? Before I go down there, how's the bug?
Starting point is 00:05:49 How's your onion? Big enough to make your eyes water, bitch. That's what I used to say. So what's the date again? It's the day before. Day before Valentine's. I picked that. I figured that was a good day to do a show local, like where I grew up.

Valentine's has always been a good night for me well you're like a couple's you do material a lot of uh relationship stuff right yeah yeah i mean this could be your hook seriously i'm trying i like this idea i wish i was around like to after the show to go dance with some strange pussy you You'd enjoy this. I actually posted on social media, my Facebook and Twitter today. I don't have an opener. Go ahead. Tell me what you're going to say.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Did you do this too? No, you're going to laugh at what I almost did to you. Go ahead. I put it out there. I put your name on it. I put your name on the tweet, your Twitter handle,
Starting point is 00:06:43 saying I need an opener Some of you guys want to submit Submit me a video to my email Now why'd you put my name on there? People think that Now people are going to think you want me to open for you? No, no, no I put on there
Starting point is 00:06:57 I said tweet me some videos I said you need to have 15 minutes I said I don't want you to be fucking filthy Racial or Well this is what it said this is what the tweet said that i read okay okay yeah reread it it said uh i don't have it right in front of me but you said that you go i don't want to follow you said i'm going to do a nick de paulo's podcast and then you said i don't want to follow racial or cunt jokes i thought you were talking about my show i jump on my fucking text. Joe, I swear to God, I had it
Starting point is 00:07:25 half typed out. I go, hey, why don't you stay the fuck home? Holy shit. I thought you were saying that's all I do on my podcast. And I go to Andy, my wife. I read the tweet to her. I go, please tell me I'm reading this. She goes, of course you're reading it wrong. She's talking about he's trying to get a guy.
Starting point is 00:07:41 When I read tweets, I'm so on the defensive. I love it. I started to text you saying, don't come over here. Stay home. I was actually mad at you for one one-hundredth of a second until my wife talks some fucking nonsense. What did your wife say? She went, no. I go, he must be talking about, I go, oh, I get it. He needs somebody to open for him.
Starting point is 00:08:00 He doesn't want to follow filth. But the way you tweet read, you said, I'm on Nick's podcast. And then it said, I don't want to follow. It was two separate tweets, though, wasn't it? No, it was all at once. First, I tweeted something about needing an opener. And then I tweeted again saying what I would like in the opener. And then I said, send me your video.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I go, maybe I'll play some of it on Nick or Artie or my podcast. But one of your tweets said, you know, you said, send them quick, blah, blah, blah, because I'm doing Nick DiPaolo today and I don't want to follow racial blah, blah. So it sounded like you were talking about me. We got to read them. How funny is that? I swear that was in separate tweets. No. But let's make sure.
Starting point is 00:08:39 You want to read it? Yeah. All right. This will be exciting. Unless you can find it in under 30 seconds. It is funny when you're driving or not i think i was on the train but you're still like half paying attention and you could accidentally table focused you could totally focus no i mean me i could accidentally write it where you would interpret
Starting point is 00:08:58 or someone could interpret it a little hot on the mic yeah a little hot you come in a little hot on the mic. Am I? Yeah. A little hot. You're coming in a little hot. Anyways. All right. Let's see. Fans. Okay. I want to read them in order here. Don't read them all.

And I for sure, like I studied every word on that text because I said, if I say this wrong, Nick's going to say, fuck it, stay home. And it's funny, they almost said, fuck it, stay home because something else.
Starting point is 00:10:19 If I'm too late, I was so shocked to look on my screen when i was driving and you said no worries yeah i said when i've never seen nick say no worries yeah i'm gonna uh i'm gonna uh when you leave i'm gonna do another podcast later on today that's hard i gotta i gotta bank a few because i'm doing some shit next week in the city and i don't think i'm gonna have any time it's kind of crazy next week so uh you, and I don't think I'm going to have any time. It's kind of crazy next week. You should figure out a way that you could just bring that with you and do it in your downtime. If you're doing some acting gig, you're probably sitting somewhere.
Starting point is 00:10:54 No, but that's not what I do, Joe. I treat it like a radio show. I mean, I got to prepare. I got to fucking read three web pages before I do my show. But if you had your computer with you, you could read those. You can't do that. Look, what am I gonna carry A fucking board with me
Starting point is 00:11:06 And shit I don't have one of those Portable things And I don't wanna do that When I'm acting Or doing something You wanna focus on that Yeah I'm not like
Starting point is 00:11:13 A multitasking guy You know what I mean I know you can tap dance You do comedy And you're gonna have A freshman mixer After the show And you're gonna MC
Starting point is 00:11:20 A freshman mixer A freshman mixer A cotillion we we called them. Did you call them a cotillion? What is that? Our 10th grade dance was called a cotillion. Where did you grow up? In Florence?
Starting point is 00:11:33 Jersey. What's cotillion mean? I don't know. Is that Jewish, Italian? Cotillion? It was a Jewish high school. Maybe it's a Jewish word. I think so.
Starting point is 00:11:41 It might be Yiddish. Cotillion. Sounds like when you hit the lottery, you go, I want a million catillion dollars. Excuse me. Little things, I'm smart. Not like everybody says. Like, don't. I'm smart.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Mama-san. So, okay. Well, good. You got that plugged. Yes. So a couple people sent me tapes, and you want to feel like you're a good comedian? No, I don't have to look at shit. Just mention.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I just watched my opening act. One guy sends me a video. I swear to God, there's no video. It's just a black screen. Maybe it was a black comic he did in his basement. This is what he says. He goes, sometimes when I'm videotaping myself, I just throw my phone on the table. and he maybe it's a black comic he did in his basement this is what he says he goes sometimes when i'm videotaping myself i just throw my phone on the table i'm like well that's not a video then
Starting point is 00:12:30 if your phone is filming the fucking table that's the audio you ignorant fuck yeah that's who you're dealing with on the internet god bless the internet it gave voices to people who don't deserve to have voices hate to sound like a third world dictator, but the level of ignorance is fucking astounding. Do you know any funny comics from South Jersey or Philly? You grew up around there. I know, but I haven't lived there in 25 years. I know a couple from New Rochelle. Kid on New Rochelle, Joey Matariz.
Starting point is 00:12:58 He's been tearing it up. Who the fuck's from down there? There's a million of them. Get Bob Levy. That's what i meant by racial cunt jokes that's it's like it's like i was saying not you bob levy or gino biscante yeah it's like i wanted to say in a nice in in a nice way i'm looking for a clean girl you have a girl opener for you you like that because i'm married i don't have people get
Starting point is 00:13:27 not now i get this reputation it's so funny i haven't had when i'm around when i'm home and doing something local i'll call kendrick cunningham because she she fucking kills every time right she's from up there from up where boston originally okay but i met her down here but the point is when i go on the road, like in Chicago, whoever they throw in front of me, that's what I... Who'd you get? What, in Chicago? A couple of guys. I don't know who the fuck they were.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Young kid named Nate, and then there was another guy, his last name was Murphy, I want to say, at the Rosemont Zanies. But on the road, yeah, no. Because you know what it turns into? If I wanted to bring an opener and shit, what happens is then the openers call me, the guys I'm getting, or the girls, or whoever, and they go, what's the pay? What time? I go, hey, my agent's not going to do all that because they don't rep you.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Right. Have you as a manager, or get on the phone yourself and call the club. Call the club. You know what I mean? I'm not going to fucking do your footwork for you i'm doing you a favor and i'm gonna sweet in the pot i throw them a couple hundred more than they're getting paid a lot of the time but kendra cunningham yeah when i did uh the stress factory a couple years ago i didn't request her she happened to be that's who uh vinnie had hope uh opening for me. And she was hilarious. She's like this sarcastic kind of a Mae West type. Yeah, I remember you saying that.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah. And so I use her. And she's like me. She likes to stay local. So, you know, I'll have her at the brokerage next week. I mean, February 26th and 27th. And she never does not do well. Did I say that right?
Starting point is 00:15:04 She does well all the time. And do you have one opener? Sometimes I'll just use her, have her do a half. Ideally, I'd like that. Just have her do 25, then I go up. It's too much. People get anxious. Right, Joey?
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yeah, and here's the thing with me putting out there that I'm looking for an Oprah, send me a video. Anyone who's good isn't sending me a video like someone who's good isn't gonna fucking do that is it gonna be like oh so here's my video like no one good would do that like i should just know somebody no exactly yeah and you gotta and and uh yeah it's it's gotta be a decent shit you don't want because if somebody goes up and stinks in front it you, it kind of taints the whole, even if you go up and do well and kill, it kind of taints the night.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Like, yeah, we had to sit through that mumble. I notice a lot of my audience comes in, like when I was at Zany's, they were out on the sidewalk waiting until I went on.
Starting point is 00:15:58 That's good. Not a lot. A couple handfuls who know me and people who go to comedy clubs on a regular basis. They just skip the openers? Sometimes. They don't even want to drink? but uh zany's man the the first the room downtown you've
Starting point is 00:16:11 done it right no the small room downtown i've done the small one downtown but not for a week i just taped a tv show there once what they did they had me do two shows on a thursday at the downtown room so the night i got there i had to do two shows. Right. And then Friday and Saturday, you can't see me, Friday and Saturday, Rosemont, which is a beautiful room. By O'Hare, it's 250 seats. And all three of those were sold out. And I mean sold the fuck. And I mentioned the podcast, and it got like a fucking,
Starting point is 00:16:40 I don't mean a smattering. It got a round of applause. Wow. And I was like, why didn't I make it more? No, I was surprised. It was such a great, let me tell you, Levity Live was awesome. That club is as nice as anything in the country,
Starting point is 00:16:52 in my opinion. Yeah. I fucking enjoyed Levity Live. And you know me, I'm not Joe Positive, but that whole weekend, that was fucking great. And then I go to Zany's, had just as good a time, two weekends in a row. You're going to be excited because you've been wanting a place to work out that's closer to your house.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yonkers. Did you hear about that? Ha! Is that what it's called? Yeah. Yeah, that's opening at that nice rich show. In May or something? March.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I have a date there in March. I think it's opening. Oh, is it in March? Yeah. I think it's opening soon. I'm doing it in May, I think. That's a perfect place to go on a Wednesday to just try some shit out. Yeah, I hope I don't see you there.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I'm not ready to fucking keep that to yourself, will you? See, you got no savvy. You just announced to the whole fucking comedy world, you dope. They're all going to show up in Yonkers? Of course. It's fucking stage time. What do you think, we're the only two comics in Westchester? We kind of are.
Starting point is 00:17:41 We kind of are. Maybe you and Verzi. Oh, yeah, Verzi's up here. For kind of are. Maybe you and Verzi. Oh, yeah. Verzi's up here. I forgot about him. Who else? In Westchester? Verzi's a good fun guy.
Starting point is 00:17:51 There's not many in Westchester. Some in Rockland over the tap. I'll tell you who. I can name one. Robert Klein. Robert Kelly. Robert Klein is about eight minutes from here. Where does Robert Klein live?
Starting point is 00:18:01 He lives, I don't want to say the town, but not far from here. I didn't know that. Literally 10 minutes, not far from here. I didn't know that. Literally 10 minutes, 10, 15 minutes. I never knew that. We saw him going into a liquor store. And it's funny. I was reading an article in a paper a few years ago, and he mentioned some of the restaurants he likes in this area.
Starting point is 00:18:17 And he goes, there's a little hole in a wall like a strip mall. And I'm like, I won't say the name of the restaurant. But I said, you know, I go, Robert Klein grew up in the bronx he knows italian food all right so me and my wife go i go this plant this little shit it was fucking delicious really it was really fucking gonzalone what town's it i'm not gonna fucking say oh okay it's an italian place okay it's an italian i listened to shit like i remember here i heard richard gear on an interview somewhere and he's hey who knows better italian food but not Gere. But not Italian. He mentioned some fucking Asian-Japanese restaurant in the city.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I was like, this guy, he probably ate at the best of the best for so many years. He's going to know what he's talking about. I wrote it down. I still have it on my phone. He mentioned he ate at Diane Lane's. I wrote that down, too. He said he goes to the Diamond Diner in Cherry Hill. It's right on the...
Starting point is 00:19:03 The Diamond Diner? There used to be. That's where we used to go after the bars. It's not there anymore on the racetrack circle. How far was that away from... What was the gig in Cherry Hill? There was a comedy cabaret. No, at the hotel.
Starting point is 00:19:19 There was a comedy cabaret at a Hyatt. No, it wasn't. It was one of the chain clubs in New York. Oh, the Rascals. rascals rascals but that was the same there you go that was the same hotel they just made it into a rascals years after i did rascals down there cherry hill okay not to brag folks nice hotel gig and uh this is years ago and then i go on howard stern and uh we're talking about i'm talking about my weekend at Rascal. And then somebody calls in and goes, yeah, I'm a busboy. I'm a Hispanic.
Starting point is 00:19:48 And I asked Nick DiPaolo for an autograph after the show. And he said, get away from me, you greasy spick. Which I never did. Turns out Howard or Fred or somebody was playing a trick. But I had to deny. I'm on a radio show with five million people listening. I go, why would you fucking even say that? I think it was Stuttering John who did that. Pulled a trick on me. I go, why would you fucking even say that? I think it was Stuttering John who did that.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Pulled a trick on me. I go, why would you fucking even say that kiddingly? That's a great trick. It sounds like a phone call and everything. Yeah, it sounded like a phone call. The guy had me going. I'm going, I never said that to anybody ever. You're like, did I say that?
Starting point is 00:20:19 No, I didn't. Maybe I said that. I wouldn't fucking, I'm not like that. Maybe I had a, I mean, I was drunk and I said that. Maybe I got a bad burrito. I don't fucking, I'm not like that. Like, maybe I had a, I mean, I was drunk, and I said that. Maybe I got a bad burrito. I don't, but I was like, what the fuck? That's all I remember that gig, though. The original Rascals in West Orange was a beautiful,
Starting point is 00:20:35 had the best sound system of any club I had worked with. Do you remember the original Rascals? Oh, my God. West Orange? Yeah, that was a good one. The sound system, and it was a low ceiling, and a big, you know, a packed, it was a beautiful comedy club. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:48 In the heyday. That was the spot. And it had great food upstairs at the restaurant. Yeah, I remember the little guy who used to be the manager. He had like a long blonde mullet. McKenna? Yes. Was that his first last name?

Starting point is 00:21:46 yeah for one year and right in front of everybody i don't know why she was yelling at me i can't even remember why did you go along oh i do know why lewis black this is how new it was lewis black was headlining right and on a saturday night i was featuring so i featured for about eight months of my career this is one of them and uh the show uh like on friday night it was like eight and ten but on saturday it started at seven or whatever the fuck so i'm laying but but but i i either forgot or whatever or nobody told me i'm laying in my room and then i go downstairs around eight o'clock and i see lewis on stage already what a feeling that is and i'm going what the fuck and she tried to tell me that she came up and knocked on my door
Starting point is 00:22:35 it would have been weird if someone came up and went good set you had how about somebody like you thought you went on how about somebody coming up i go i in a hotel. You couldn't come up and bang on me. No, you didn't. I was watching TV. I wasn't sleeping. I was laying in my bed watching TV waiting for 8 o'clock to come. So she's fucking lying.

Really? That club always had fucking... She's a Polish chick, blonde, good looking.
Starting point is 00:23:49 That club, for me, always had dickhead managers. Like, I got banned from that. Yeah, I think that's the point of the story right there. There was another guy that came in after that, and he banned me from the club once. He would like... For what? He would sit like 10 feet from the stage. Not sit, he would just stand. There was like a beam right in front of like 10 feet from the stage. Not sit.
Starting point is 00:24:05 He would just stand. There was like a beam right in front of you. You're on stage. And he would lean on the beam with his arms crossed, just staring at you. I'm like, can you get the fuck out of here? You know what? That actually sounds familiar now that you say that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:18 I hate when the manager of the owners used to... Just get out of here, dude. Yeah. I'm like, there's almost as worse as clubs that put the mirror straight across and i got to look at myself performing for fucking 45 minutes i don't want to look at me i know i know i used to say that i go oh i just saw myself i got look like fucking barafuco doing i go oh no wonder why oh and uh i used to have a i think you know back before my meds i would definitely snap but that was a club. And I used to have a, I think, you know, back before my meds, I would definitely snap.
Starting point is 00:24:46 But that was a club. You know what used to piss me off? When it got to a level where you were working at this night, it was a nice Hyatt. It was like a higher end Hyatt. Absolutely. They would put you up at the Red Roof Inn down the street. And I used to get, I think I used to get so mad at that. No.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Yeah. You were probably out of the. Out of the Red Roof Inn. Yeah. You were not doing the club at that. No. Yeah, you were probably out of the Red River. Yeah, you were not doing the club at that point. That's what I'm saying. I was fucking right. I was right in the hotel at the Hyatt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:11 The room was fucking on like a third floor. Nobody banged on my. Nobody could come up and bang on the door going, where's the fucking, where are you? Right. I mean, it infuriated me because she was lying. She was lying, Joe. Speaking of meds, you bring up something. You know, my sleep problems have been well documented on this show.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And it's not falling asleep that's my problem. It's waking up three hours later every night or four hours later. And I mentioned this to Pat Milligan. Patrick, yeah, he's on the same meds I'm on. Yeah, exactly. So he says to me he goes dude that's anxiety and i said i know you're right because i fall asleep it's something's bothering me from the inside out that's waking me and he goes so he told me he goes yeah i'm on the same
Starting point is 00:25:55 shit that uh madarisa's i go i don't want to be a zombie like madarisa what uh what what is it joe what are you taking selexa i think that's what he takes selexa now uh he gave me he said yeah either you told me or he told me or you both told me the side effects you like have diarrhea when you're uh at work and uh can't get it up before you jerk off on planes yeah you jerk off on planes what what no what's the what's the side effects it took you no you said you had crazy dreams i said that you look like brian cranson this you made a face you look just like walter you look like walter fucking really oh that's creepy when i first started them you have that like that goes away what it but but but it made you sleep it gave you crazy dreams yeah that means you're sleeping deep right yeah so it takes a while look i went on what was the
Starting point is 00:26:47 one everybody was doing uh around around the year 2000 zoloft what was the one that was prozac's the the original no not prozac this is the shit it's sort of commercials all the time zolexa zoloft zoloft is one so i think it was zoloft. There was another one with an X in it. But I tried it for a summer. I should say summer. For about a month in the summer. Because I was this high-strung maniac. I'm better now because I'm older.
Starting point is 00:27:16 But I had to try something. And it made me like a zombie. I didn't like it. I walked around. I want to say Zoloft. Zoloft. I've yet to hear somebody not say anything negative about that drug. Everybody hated it? Everyone I know that's ever been on it usually can't have an erection.
Starting point is 00:27:32 They can't get hard. No, then that wasn't the one. Oh, no, no. It gave you an erection and diarrhea. That was my joke on stage. I'm sitting in the toilet with a fucking erection and shitting. What good is that? Unless you were the German broad making a movie that was a doozy or they also would say that you you you
Starting point is 00:27:54 just couldn't come like you could just fuck but you didn't it didn't feel like a problem i like to please my girls i mean my wife but it didn't feel good to you like the sex just you didn't have an emotional connection to your sex so you didn't feel good to you. Like, the sex just, you didn't have an emotional connection to your sex, so you didn't feel good. You weren't enjoying it. I've never had an emotional connection to sex in my life. That's a problem for guys? What, are we turning into fucking fags here? He's a fag.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I mean, that's how I like it, emotionless. I almost like, I like it the way Cosby liked it, pretty much. Speaking of, No emotions during sex So okay it gave you crazy dreams Overeating is a side effect too You gotta get used to It makes you hungry? Not hungry but you know that
Starting point is 00:28:38 You're in a trance you don't realize you're still eating My anxiety is what would make me worry Like if I ate like a fucking 10 Oreos or something, my anxiety would go, what do you do? You know, don't eat that. That's not good for you. Like literally that voice in my head would make me not eat it. But that voice is gone now. Like I used to do jokes about it.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Like that guy's in a headlock in your fucking brain. So that's your. There's a new guy running your brain who's like, you want those? They're delicious. Seriously, seriously is it it's that um there's that much of a change you can um it well you learn you know what you learn though you learn how to adjust it just takes some time at first you notice you'll be going to mcdonald's like you'll have a fucking instinct you'll be driving down the road you'll see mcdonald's and you'll just fucking pull in the drive-thru you're you're like this is delicious i'm eating it i'm like weed yeah really a little bit okay so so oh it takes away your inhibitions for certain things if i see a chick yeah yeah if
Starting point is 00:29:35 i see a 22 year old i'm gonna tackle her on the sidewalk nobody's gonna stop me no my horniness definitely went down i wasn't jerking off as much i used to be really horny a lot that's what i said for a married guy it's the equalizer it makes it fine like i don't need i used to want how to interpret i used to want a ton of sex from my wife and she just you know who can blame you you know and then now it just it minimized it so it's like it's perfect her and i are on the same sexual level now but what's it do um Look I rely on being quick and funny Off the cuff on stage But you know
Starting point is 00:30:09 How does it affect Do you You don't walk around In a little bit of zombie state There's no zombie But you sleep Did you notice your sleep was better I never had a problem sleeping
Starting point is 00:30:20 Okay My wife used to complain I'm a restless sleeper My legs Fucking Restless leg syndrome I had the leg thing Yeah my wife used to complain i'm a restless sleeper my legs with fucking restless leg syndrome i had the leg thing yeah my wife used to yeah and i just move around a lot rip the covers are just fucking on the ground that's like my wife she's like fucking ribbit dance it's three in the morning she's doing ribbit dance in my bed i wake up she's standing over me like fucking uh denaro and fucking goodfellas stomping Billy Bats' face.
Starting point is 00:30:49 That wasn't my special action. I had a bit of that. She used to kick the covers off and shit. Yeah, that's me. She was hoping that the meds would make that kind of go away. That still exists. So, Joe, but what's it do? It's an anti-anxiety medicine, right?
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah. So it takes you, it mellows you a little, right? Yeah. Is that the overall? Well, I would yell and get really mad. We would get in some fights or I would scare her because I would get really fucking loud when I would snap. Yeah, I can't relate to that.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah. What are you kidding me? This sounds like it was made for me. I've been saying that since I've known you. I'm afraid to try it i thought when you called me that you called me one day or you texted me one day and said is does it change your sleep and i'm like oh he's on it no one asked that unless he's on it but you're not on it milligan told me that what's it called selexa selexa yeah milligan told me and when he said
Starting point is 00:31:41 he was really the first one to say that i said i go to i fall asleep fine but i wake up sometimes two hours later or three and i'm and he goes dude i had the same thing and it stopped for him that's what he said there you go so i don't know it's maybe it's different for everybody just try i i i always say just try it my wife came to me recently and said i think i might need meds and i'm like that's hilarious because i listen to you tell me that i need meds she needs meds because she's yelling at her kids all the time she's real high strong with being a mom like there's times where she literally is like just get her away from me she has to like i have to grab i'm always analyzing joe's wife now that's a tip but that's a typical reaction for somebody like joe's wife
Starting point is 00:32:25 who's a new age mom dr tight what does she do it's a psychologist at uh columbia yeah and and and psychologists today that's their first remedy for everything there's nothing wrong with yelling at your kids if they're fucking bugging you well my wife she's a busy woman my wife's mom's on selexa oh my god fuck did you married into the manson clan they're a busy woman my wife's mom's on celexa oh my god fuck did you married into the manson clan they're all and my wife's mother's mother who lived to 96 went on meds in her like mid 80s went on them and then became more normal and was like a lunatic before that that makes sense yeah in your 80s because you know the end is nate i'd want to be fucked up yeah well i think i'd be doing heroin when i hit my fucking late 60s my grandmom's 97 they put her on an antidepressant
Starting point is 00:33:10 because they just they those italian grandmoms no not not even italian everybody i know my parents for instance and and and my my friends in high school their parents are all now in their late 70s and and and my my uncle bob who never had never had, they're all on antidepressants. Yeah. Because you know it's fucking, it's depressing to be 50 fucking four in a couple weeks. Yeah. You know what I mean? Can you imagine being in your 70s and you know the fucking end is around the corner?
Starting point is 00:33:38 By the way. I'm sorry. I have the weirdest. For Christ's sake, Joe. I'm trying to. Yeah. What was that? A French horn?
Starting point is 00:33:45 Doesn't that sound like what you hear at a Minnesota Vikings game? Yeah, they just... It's like the fucking Vikings just scored. I was about to say something actually on a sad note, but it connects with what we're talking about. But tell your wife, just because she snaps at her kids when they're being annoying,
Starting point is 00:34:03 not to drug herself up. No. I was afraid... You know No. I was afraid. You know, I was afraid to let her go on the mat. I think it would help her because she gets in. She's your wife. I don't know how your wife is. But when I get in a fight with my wife.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Yeah. It takes like two days to make up like she holds the fucking anger and the mad for so long. She does. Yeah. Can you make up fast for your wife? It's what prostitutes are for. I go down the street and I go, hey,
Starting point is 00:34:31 22-year-old Filipino, has her herpes clit up? I just had a real fucking doozy with my wife. Tell her to get in here and lick my sack. This might be the funniest one we've ever done together. You're really cracking me up on this one. Here's why I have you on the show, though. You have shit to talk.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Joe brings, look, you know, Joe's like a good guy, funny comic, and you have unique, your marriage is unique. You're fascinated by it. I am. I like the, you know, but you always have something to talk about. Something just happened to you, always. You should just have me on once a week. I can't do that the... But you always have something to talk about. Something just happened to you always. You should just have me on once a week. I can't do that. You're not that good.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Once a week. You know what I was thinking? Tell me... I don't like it already. Go ahead. This is a total different subject. Changing the subject? I was in the city today.
Starting point is 00:35:17 I had a meeting with this company that places ads on podcasts. One of the bigger companies. Podcast One. It's not Podcast One. But it's one of them. It's one of the bigger companies. Podcast One. It's not Podcast One. But it's one of them. It's one of those on that level. Okay. And I started thinking after I left it,
Starting point is 00:35:32 because a lot of these guys, they want to do these, I guess they call them, what's it called? Ad revenue type ads? Yeah. Where if you sell, you get paid, that kind of thing. You get a percentage of what you mention. If it actually works and they go buy it, get a you get a you mean like live reads like i get every once in a while with riot but not but but live reads you get paid just a flat rate those are different
Starting point is 00:35:56 as opposed to i'm saying this is more like you know how people oh the oh depending on like how much they sell of the product you get a cut cut of that? Yeah. Like the back end? I don't know if it's actually... Maybe it's just if they contact them, you get an amount. I don't know if it's a percentage or if it's just if they click on it and go to the company and try to buy something, you get paid. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get that.
Starting point is 00:36:20 With Amazon, it's if they go to Amazon. A lot of these guys now put the Amazon banner on their website. And if people buy something, you get 5% of the purchase, something like that. So this company was talking to me about all the different advertisers. And I started thinking, like, this is crazy. I remember a comedian doing a joke about it's going to get to the point where athletes are fucking yelling products while they're yelling the signs like the quarterback. Someone has a bit about that. I don't know who it is.
Starting point is 00:36:51 But I started thinking like how many people were on stage in front of how many podcasts I'm doing. I'm like, if I have an advertising company that's got a banner on my website and they they're paying me to talk about them on my podcast. Why can't i fucking bring it up when i'm on all everybody's podcast it's like when they say what are your plugs i'm like joe manor is i'll be a blah blah blah and you know what go buy a coffee something something something it's great you know okay when you do it everywhere you went well then the the people listening would would have to it has to be a code saying i heard joe you know you could say it really and the code is fixing joe and you know. You could say it really.
Starting point is 00:37:27 And the code is fixing Joe. And you throw it on at the end. Why couldn't you? You're on, you're doing stand up at a club. You could mention it in your fucking set when you're closing. This is too Jewish for me. I can't. I'm a done.
Starting point is 00:37:39 I am marketing wise. I can't fucking, I went to school for it and ended up fucking. That's what I've been taught. I've been talking about this on my podcast for like a week now. Because I have one of those video companies interested in me going over there where you do the podcast and a video version of it. And you get paid per episode over there. And you get a piece of their. Over where?
Starting point is 00:38:00 I can't say. I don't want to say. Israel. No. I'm serious. I did a show. You did a podcast in Israel? Yeah. I i gotta give mike baker credit my web guy he had me doing a fucking televised like i don't know what you call it it was it wasn't called a podcast this was 10 years
Starting point is 00:38:17 ago it was a company in israel and i was getting like 750 a show or some shit and i would be talking into my you know into the computer with my headset on. I remember when you did that. And it was playing just in Israel? Or it was also in Israel? No, I don't know where it played. It was for Israelis. It had to be everywhere.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I forget. No, the company was in Israel. I don't know where it was playing. Oh, okay. $750 a pop? Yeah. I mean, it was crazy. And I did a couple a month of some shit.
Starting point is 00:38:44 It was funny, you know. But anyways, whatever. The whole business is in flux. This business model, this podcast thing is still brand new. Yeah. There's 19 different ways, you know. Well, that's where it's hard. It's hard for the performer because you're like, how do I know which way is the most profitable way?
Starting point is 00:39:02 But everybody's like, are you going to put a video camera in there? Go watch TV if that's what you want. fuck it's the beauty of a podcast like i'm down here in my fucking underwear why do you want to watch me talk into a microphone what i don't fucking get that only makes sense if if you have a million dollars of equipment like yes if you can cut the video screens and that's what i'm saying you have a guest they think we're all billionaires fucking anthony comey was doing radio for fucking 30 years and he has a ton of money. There is a way to do that on low end. I don't want to do it low end because then you look like a dick.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I mean, you can do it where you don't have to spend what he spent and it'll look almost the same. And for you guys listening right now, don't fucking tweet me with 9,000 different suggestions. Hey, you can pick up a fucking monitor and plug it into your toaster oven. I don't want to fucking hear it. I like what I'm doing. I love the radio. That's why I fucking loved it. Right now, as I'm talking,
Starting point is 00:39:54 I have a cat under my desk licking my nuts. You guys don't know that. I'm getting two for the price horn. Plus, I think listeners get annoyed when we start talking about this shit. They hate that. I'm glad you brought it up. No, they don't. I don't want to continue.
Starting point is 00:40:07 The business of podcasting is they don't give a shit. So have you bought a new couch lately? I wanted to talk more about my wife and holding anger. What the hell? I was going to ask you about your wife. She blows up. I know what it is. It just came to my head. I don ask you about your wife? She blows up. I know what it is. I,
Starting point is 00:40:25 this just came to my head. I don't know if your wife is like this, but I noticed, I love it. Cause it's always the best shit to talk about on a podcast or what my wife tells me not to talk about on a podcast. I'm about to talk about what she said. Don't talk about,
Starting point is 00:40:38 but she said, don't talk about it on my podcast. She didn't say, don't tell it on Nick's. Yeah. Whole different audience. Yeah. So like we're
Starting point is 00:40:45 to a dying i notice whenever i stand up for my wife but in a in a loud way it it fucking we're in a three-day argument and like today if you stand up for her if i like yeah if like if i stand up to her if she i think she's out of line and i fucking yell at her yeah like it like how like some guys are like you know you can't let a woman push you around. Whenever I fucking do that. Yeah. I'm in a fucking five day fucking war. That's because she was a spoiled brat.
Starting point is 00:41:14 She was raised a spoiled little brat. You think? I fucking know. Look, I've been in a million relationships. I didn't get married until I was 41. I have eight different types of women. And the ones that can't handle being fucking raising your voice. I love that, oh, you're verbally abusive.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Oh, now getting in an argument. You just called me a fucking asshole. I called you a fucking asshole back. I'm verbally abusive. Don't you like how they take the far-left feminist horse shit and try to apply it to you? That's verbally. You just called me a dick, and I told you to shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I'm treating you like an equal. You can't have it both ways. Well, she needed't happen often she needed me to watch my uh if the cops my daughter this morning from 8 to uh 9 30 because she had to go up and lock herself in a room and do uh this skype meeting for her job she works from home on fridays okay and my daughter doesn't have daycare on friday okay i'm with i'm with her so far on the air you'll probably be on her side so it's dude it's 7 58 and i'm in my bedroom the plan was joe get showered and get dressed because you have your meeting that you have to get on a train and go into the city at 10 so do that now so i can go do my thing from 8 to 9 30 you'll be ready and then you can just fucking run out the door and go to the train station. Sounds like a stressful fucking morning.
Starting point is 00:42:27 It was. Go ahead. 7.58, I realized I fucking missed half of my beard when I was clipping it to make it a little shorter. So I start, I pull out the fucking clipper again and I start hitting it. And she thinks I just started shaving. She doesn't know I already shaved once. This is classic marriage bullshit. Yeah, she just started shaving. She doesn't know I already shaved once. This is classic marriage bullshit. Yeah, she just comes in.
Starting point is 00:42:48 It's 7.58. Jesus fucking, what are you doing? You're always late. It's going to affect me. And I just went, shut up. Would you shut up? Like that. Not even to her face, like from the other room.
Starting point is 00:43:00 And that bothered her? Two-day fucking war, I know. And we're supposed to go to a party tonight. It's always on nights we actually have a babysitter we're not going out we are still going out but it's not going to be fun because she's going to hold the anger have the kids come over here i'll make them a nice fucking uh squid salad do you ever get in a fight with your wife and it's like on your way to an expensive restaurant you literally do you ever when that's the only time I do get to fight. I've ruined more fucking evenings.

It's got a porch on it. My wife's been talking about it for two years. We get into the fucking restaurant. It was one of our birthdays.

Starting point is 00:46:39 Like a bulge I was dehydrated or some shit That's a true story Everybody requests that fucking joke. I can tell it's true. Because every guy can relate to just how mad we get, but I can't let it out. Yeah, I have no problem letting it out. I fucking...
Starting point is 00:46:57 I remember flying a girl up to Montreal. I was doing the comedy works. I had met her like four days before at some gig. She fucked me right after the gig. I got up Thursday night. You want to come to Montreal with me? I get up there. How do you even know each other?
Starting point is 00:47:10 And then there's a waitress in Montreal who I had banged a few times. Really cute. She starts talking to me. And this new girl that I bring up there senses that I had banged. She said I was ignoring her. I looked at this girl twice, this waitress in Montreal. I said like four words to her. And she goes, you're not paying any attention to me.
Starting point is 00:47:26 This chick turned out to be a fucking psycho. Next thing you know, she's on a plane back to fucking Boston. That's why we get married. I know. You can only have shit like that. You hit a point where you're like, I'm done with this. Yeah, exactly. My wife got mad.
Starting point is 00:47:40 You know what? I miss it. I said this on stage the other night. This is how married I am. I actually miss getting chlamydia. I used to fucking get it twice a month. I miss it. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:47:56 I actually said that to the guy who married my wife and I. He wanted to have a meeting with us. What, a priest? He wasn't in a church, but he was like an ex-priest, like kind of your hippie type dude. Where'd you meet him? Like at Arby's? I think my wife found him online somewhere.
Starting point is 00:48:11 I don't remember where she found this guy. And we literally went to some restaurant and met him, and he said, why do you want to marry your wife? And I actually said, because she's so much better than all the other women that I've been with. That's a good answer. She got mad at me. women that I've been with. That's a good answer. She got mad at me. She didn't like that answer.
