I love the album daydream nation is a great album and But I had this obsession with this band called the pixies now, um, I
Starting point is 00:05:15 Won't get a cry. Oh You're crying. I'm gonna cry. Um, I remember there was a a mini mall in Rancho Bernardo where I grew up This is probably 89 90 in 1990 and I remember I got cassette tapes of um, um do little and surfer Rosa and also the EP I believe and You told me not And um, I remember listening to that those albums just on repeat I just thought wow, man, this is this music and this is before like Nirvana, right?

Yeah Yeah Wow, because bands at that time weren't doing that the thing, you know, I think the the made fun of it But they were like, you know, these bands that didn't have the on them anymore. Yeah So who came up with the fucking title pixies? I did. Yeah. Did you really? Yeah, wait So let me get this straight. Okay. I because I didn't really Wikipedia, but let me make an assumption
Starting point is 00:08:39 Okay, let me make me throw some stuff out Boston mid-80s College mm-hmm. Were you in college? I dropped out at UMass and UMass Amherst UMass, right? Mm-hmm, which was a song on Trump LeMond. Yep. See okay Real fan and so how did you meet black Frank black? Oh, yeah, yeah, Charles. I met him and my god. Okay, it's okay the Charles

Yeah, and I met him there and And yeah, he had a guitar and I didn't want my guitar there because I wanted good grades You know, yeah, so instead I did a bunch of masculine and I drank a lot and I and Man, and I started playing tennis for some reason Like I thought I was I actually joined the open the Amherst open thinking I was really good Wow, I sucked. I mean, I didn't return one serve And the guy the guy was just
Starting point is 00:09:59 You know, hey, it's the open sorry right you slept in the same Area with with Charles. Yes. It's a weird way to ask it. You slept in the same area. No My room and then Another room and then his room his room, right? So you said that's what I'm saying He wants to know the sleeping configuration Yeah, oh, so I just assumed they were sleeping in the same room like bunk bed, but they had different up like Apartment not apartments, but rooms. Yeah, they were different rooms So then when you how does that come about that conversation like hey, play me something or I mean, I was just relieved when I was going to college
Starting point is 00:10:45 I I had this big fear that I was gonna be amongst jocks and And I was gonna be petrified like, you know, yeah It's like oh no, you know, but I thank God.

So you think that you're putting twigs Just random twigs, but what you don't get is is in water by living there His essence and his nutrients seep into the actual nest. So it's just not the twigs It's like absorbed with minerals and Not too far off. It's saliva. Yeah, it's a saliva. It's not.

Yeah, so you could so then because I know a little bit about your your childhood mm-hmm because we've talked, you know, and I Feel like you were raised similar to me in terms of having you know a strict dad Mm-hmm, because I've always wondered like what drives somebody
Starting point is 00:19:27 You know, so you know when you have a A strict environment and sometimes a little violent, you know in my case, right? I poured all my energy into like Doing creative things, you know, I mean and I feel like that Without that upbringing, right that I might have not done that all the things that I was willing to do You know to do comedy or what or whatnot, you know So I've always been like curious about that up about people's past and whatnot So, you know, do you think so your dad was strict? Yes
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah, what way though like I was just very very strict. Yeah, let's put it that way. Yeah Wouldn't get you shit. What do you mean? Like we like if I asked my dad for like, you know, a Sega not Sega Genesis, but like whatever the Nintendo and Nintendo back then you go, no, you know, do your homework Was it like that? Hmm, was it correct? If it wasn't up to him, would you know, we probably wouldn't have any, you know Gift Christmas gifts or anything. We never celebrate birthdays or anything, right? You know, it was just it was just a thing Yeah, I never thought about it until I went over people's homes and they were celebrating and like
Starting point is 00:20:47 They put on an act for me Yeah, or they're showing off or you watch something on TV where it's like Wait, did you grow up Jehovah's Witness? No You didn't have birthdays or Christmas just just cuz oh No, we did have those but it wasn't like celebrated like, you know, what white people would do like other people Oh, when they go like a baby's a year old and they have like, you know, the entire no, it's more like Happy birthday. Happy birthday. And then he'd slide an envelope with a hundred dollar bill. I see that's what my dad would do No cake. No cake. Yeah. Yeah, he wouldn't go out of his way to sing a tune
Starting point is 00:21:24 You know, I mean, yeah, and to put on it like some sort of production Mine would be socks. Give me Your dad would give you socks sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, but when did the guitar happen? That wasn't until we moved to Massachusetts My brother had a my older brother had it up on his wall and I took it down and I tuned it How old are you? Like around 12 Wow, you know, yeah, did you have like it was a radio shack acoustic guitar? Wow, that's what he told me
Starting point is 00:22:02 Yeah, and so you did you just learn on your own or did somebody sit pretty much pretty much I tuned it with the we had an organ downstairs like everybody had an organ. Yeah back then. Yeah back then, you know and So, you know, I just learned how to do that and you never need to ask your parents. Could I take lessons? I I did I took them for a little while, but then I just wasn't that disciplined Then I learned bar chords and that was it then I go like I don't I don't need this Yeah, yeah, yeah, were any of your family members or your mom and dad like musical my
Starting point is 00:22:42 my father played You know the same song all the time and What song was it? I don't even know. Oh, don't know but it was It's a Filipino song. It's a Filipino thing on the Oregon on the Oregon. All right. Yeah, it was beautiful All right, but take a guess Gilbert take a guess. It was a lot of Filipino dads know a device. No, that's a German song Wow, that's good. Thank you. I thought you were gonna say like Freddy Aguilar like a knock knock probably That's what a lot of people do. Yeah
Starting point is 00:23:24 So, um, and my grandfather was played piano too. Oh, so if there is there's always that like when my dad People go, well, he was strict on whatnot, but my dad and my mom my mom is very funny But not just accidentally funny. She's purposely funny in terms of timing and stuff So I just feel like it comes more from her, but my dad would do real clever fart jokes What's a clever fart joke? Just like when you're sleeping You know, I never thought you know when you fart on somebody. Yeah, usually generally awake Uh-huh. You know me but like my dad would and you he would you know Maybe fathers would fart on their children through the underwear and pants. My dad would pull it down bare-ass it
Starting point is 00:24:11 Yeah, yeah, so you get debris the not just debris, but The way the way the wind you could you know me feel it, right? So and then he would go I got you. You know me that kind of your thing. So I learned that kind of comedy from him But the timing from my mom, right? But I don't you know, it comes from somewhere I also think that Filipinos I've said this before Filipinos and Koreans are similar when it comes to Comedy humor because look at the the funniest I
Starting point is 00:24:48 Mean, I don't want to get in trouble here Because I know the climate we're fucking in Right, but this I'm just throwing up factual things for a while. It was just in the comedy scene It was generally Filipino dudes and Korean people, you know, and you would see maybe one Japanese person or one Chinese Descendant person but generally you could rattle off 20 Korean comics and 20 Filipino comics in the scene. I just think it has to do with Culture, you know, yeah, or it's very similar. So when you I want to go back now to the pixies. So when you
Starting point is 00:25:26 Were with Charles, how did Lovering what's his name Dave Lovering? That's what I said. Mm-hmm. You did lovering. Yeah, he's a magician. Mm-hmm, right? Yes, so Dave Lovering. He's the drummer of the pixies Mm-hmm, and how did Kim deal? How did that happen? Yeah, we took an ad out on the paper The Boston Phoenix at the time. Wow. Yeah, like wanted bassist and drummer. Yeah, it's like a We asked Charles asked, you know, wanted female bassist
Starting point is 00:26:02 Influences Husker do and Peter Paul Mary. That's it Husker do and Peter Paul and Mary. Yeah, wow, we're weeding them out Yeah, so we had one one one response. I was it that was Kim Kim and then we loved their instantly Wow. Yeah, and then how did Dave Lovering get in Dave Lovering was He went to their wedding Kim deals and is and John's wedding John worked with David at Radio Shack. Wow. Yeah, and and and he goes like why don't you have him come in? He came in played the drum machine a bit left and You know and then we tried out one other guy we played with him and he just he was just so
Starting point is 00:27:00 He was late tardy sometimes didn't show up. Ah, and I said, what about Dave? You know, yeah, and he goes I didn't see much and I said he was he just he was high as a kite, you know Yeah, and I knew it and and and we call him he was excited about I knew he had that he had the chops I mean he was just playing these drum machines patterns. It's like wow. Oh my god That dudes got it. I mean, he's you know because drummers are like back then were trained with just pads You know, ah, Radham cues and all this stuff and now, you know, most of them just go right on the kit Right, you know, but you got to know your interest that you said I think a lot of it has to do with probably You know being disciplined enough to practice and get together you need reliable people
Starting point is 00:27:53 That's what I feel like that you had that with we did we had a good work ethic. Yeah, because there's no because you guys rose Pretty you were young. Are you rose pretty quickly? No? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that you know 21, you know We still we played our first gig. I don't think I was even old enough to Get into the club yet. We had to pretend. Yeah, I wasn't 21 yet Was it original music you guys were doing at the club? Yeah. Yeah, it was Wow. It was it was 20 minutes or something. Yeah first. So then oh you guys practice, right? And then you know, I mean you're you're collecting original music because I don't know how I don't know how it works
Starting point is 00:28:38 I don't know how well tell tell Joey about your band experience and your tardiness And how you essentially got kicked off the band. I Was in a band called Laxton superb what? Yeah It's a laxton superb is an apple. Okay, right. So we were a psychedelic band, right? It was four kids just in high school, right? And then what happened was We played at this coffee shop called the metaphor cafe in Escondido, California. This is probably in
Starting point is 00:29:15 1993 Three that's like band in the metaphor. Yeah, yeah, and there was these two Hippies that also played at the metaphor cafe and they were like maybe 20 or 30 years older than us But they were so good that the lead singer of my band asked these two old fuckers to be in my band our band and Then it was now it looked like fucking the Grateful Dead It was like, you know six fucking people up there and then they had me in the very back Right, and I was just like what am I doing back here? So I just said I don't want I think it was name was Dave I forgot who the other guy's name was and I go I don't want them in the band
Starting point is 00:29:59 They go well, they're good and and they're in the band. So there's nothing you can do about it So then in protest I just stopped showing up to rehearsals thinking that that was gonna You know that they're gonna be like, oh Bobby's not around We so we'll kick them out and get Bobby back in but then they all had meet us at metaphor cafe at 3 p.m So I show up and then they go You're out What did you play? We played a pool hall. No, no, what was your instrument?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Keyboard keyboard. Yeah, I could play the keyboard Okay, I put pretty good You know, it's not like professional like you Joey. No, no, no, you don't have it's not fucking professional but you know, I mean I did what I could and But I wasn't that good. So um, they kicked me out and you know what? I'm I'm grateful I'm fucking grateful and thank you for kicking me up because without that Without that fucking gig I would have never done comedy because that's when I started going Oh, you know what? I got to figure something else out. So I started doing improv classes
Starting point is 00:31:03 Right and showing up at the improv comedy club in Pacific Beach and hanging out. What are those guys doing now? Yeah, one of them works for fucking cheesecake factory. He designs the the walls. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's nothing wrong with that That's pretty good. That's pretty good. The cheesecake factory is notorious for cool walls. Yeah, that's what they're like known for They're known for their cool wall. No, but the little lines of the walls. Yeah, more than cheesecake sometimes Is that what it is? I swear to you like there's this whole like there's a There's this whole like about the cheesecake factory art. Oh So he's doing well. He's doing well and then I

So did you end up a Figuring it out like oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and of course Yeah, I mean, it's okay now now before shows I would do that and I would kid around with the Oh, really with with Paz and yeah, yeah, she knows the story
Starting point is 00:53:32 Yeah, and I would do it and then you know And then I would break into like a Then I'd pretend I fuck it up all backstage.

Yeah, but I just can't live, you know, I mean number one when I'm Smoking weed or doing whatever I'm doing. I can't live in the moment. I can't connect with people around me. I can't um
Starting point is 01:00:37 I'm just not in God's light It's hard to explain, but you know by being sober.

Starting point is 01:09:05 All right, so we're gonna be following the theme from the past couple weeks of helping people with paranormal experiences We know you're an expert in paranormal experiences Exactly Hey guys long time fan here a few months ago. I had a ghost sighting and now I think I'm haunted I was on a road trip with my parents through oklahoma one night and we were driving along a dirt road That's when I saw a giant black hound with glowing red eyes on the side of the road I quickly told my dad who was driving at the time to pull over when we got out of the car The hound had disappeared. We didn't see any paw prints, but weirdly human prints leading away from the road
Starting point is 01:09:38 Ever since I've had this recurring nightmare. I'm in my house at night when I hear a knock at the door I look through the peephole and I see a man standing there He has a head of a black hound with glowing red eyes I run away from the door into my bathroom and look into the mirror. Then I say it's yourself You're talking about then my face starts bleeding out of my eyes nose mouth everywhere Then I scream and wake up What does this mean? Am I haunted? Yeah
Starting point is 01:10:09 Man my name is Andrew sucks It really does yeah Wait, so it was a hound a hound He saw a hound on the side of the road right with the red glowing eyes. It's a werewolf That's not the moral of the story The moral of the story is this some moral too. Yeah, there is when you see a black hound with red eyes You don't pull over. That's true. That's a good point, babe. I don't think he's haunted. You just you observe something. Yeah
Starting point is 01:10:39 Yeah, and you had a nightmare was a nightmare. What do you say? Yes. So now when he wakes up he goes he thinks it's him He is the hound that's bleeding with the red eyes. Uh, well, what does that mean? I guess what could it mean? I think that lockdowns, you know been a couple months. It's making people a little crazy. Yeah Yeah, okay main ptsd or maybe something like that. I don't I don't know. I thought he was I thought he said I thought Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like if he's haunted because he saw something like that Or maybe like it jumped into him like the the essence or the soul of that hound Jumped into the car. I think it feels like a demonic experience. It's now living within him Okay, so that's some normal stuff. All right. I
Starting point is 01:11:26 First of all what he saw was probably a coyote And he's in a car, right? So the lights shined and you know how you take photos with people and it glows red for some reason Maybe there's something some sort of illusion. He was a kid too, right? Yeah So it's just nothing is he acting like that creature. Yeah, is he turning into a werewolf? That's a good fucking question. It does not he just says he dreams about it He runs the bathroom that he says to the mayor every single time It's yourself. You're talking about and everything starts bleeding Damn too bad. He doesn't turn in that person. Yeah, that would be really cool
Starting point is 01:12:06 Because I would try to meet like Bezos and you could be that person. Yeah instead of a Yeah, how instead of like a mangy mug. Do you have another one? I would I would wait that one No, hang on. I think that he should the next time you write in shouldn't be until you transform into a real werewolf Because then we won't answer your question. Yeah.
