candles lit
I
Look who it is. What's happening?
What's happening you bad motherfuckers? It's Wednesday the 28th of October the month is almost fucking gone. We did it
We made it nobody's fucking dying
The numbers are up but people are living who gives a fuck
Uncle Joey's joint is here and in color. I hope you guys are watching the comedy store documentary
I hope you're watching some type of I hope you got Showtime or you got an app or whatever the fuck you got
Because you're missing some great stuff. I think Mike binder
Did a great job the last four episodes?
I've been getting a lot of positive feedback and it's not that he put me in or anything
It would have still been interesting even not to see myself on there, but I don't know if you were watching it
There was one picture. They showed
after the Joe Rogan telling the story about
You know getting banned and whatever
They said that it really slowed down and Jimmy Schubert goes, you know
Diaz left Joe left and they show
An SUV a Cadillac
Pull up and it's me and Rogan and the Cadillac and I have my red
North Bergen fucking
Jacket on which was given to me by the great legendary coach Vinny Ascleese up in North Bergen. I'll tell you I got more calls
from wearing that fucking jacket on that
Documentary that I've gotten from doing anything like my friends all called me and said we're so fucking proud that you represented North Bergen
North Bergen was represented Saturday night the UFC my man Kevin Hawks, whatever. I don't know
I didn't know he was from North Bergen. I didn't know he was fighting
I didn't even know there was a fucking MMA gym in North Bergen
I know any kind of jiu-jitsu is up there. Oh, your Rodriguez is school, but I didn't know anything else is up there
So now I have to start looking when I go back up there
I don't go up there that much
But a bunch of buddies of mine called me and they were like, hey man
Thank you for repping North Bergen and we didn't know that Rogan and you had that much hair
I was like you guys didn't know Rogan had hair like they're like, we didn't know he had that much hair
What happened? Well, we get old
Times fucking move on. This is what happened. But that's how long I've known him. I did the mat. That was
New Year's 2001
Fear factor was a full effect
Every year from like
2000 to 2006
We did even later than that. We did New Year's every fucking year
But they've got to the point. We would just do the improv and
On Melrose, we would do the eight o'clock the ten o'clock
Bringing the fucking new year at that Melrose improv and then we'd shoot over to the fucking comedy store
And we close out the fucking night there. Have a great time. You know, this is when it was it
I think the last big New Year's show we did was with honey, honey and Doug Stanhope and
Duncan and Ari, we did one at the Woltern Theater. That was it
But every year that was our thing was me Ari Duncan Joe
Red band we do fucking New Year's and then we take it over to the fucking store and go bananas up there
Hochman would be up who thank God they gave light in this documentary Brian Hochman
You know over the years there've been a lot of fucking things and I'll break them down for you right now
I think one of the funniest stand-ups working is Bill Burr. I think Joe's up there too. I think Dave Chappelle is up there
I think there's a lot of great comics working, but nobody I think I think Bill Burr really has it
to the full extent as
Far as a wild man on stage. I mean I have those qualities and I'm a storyteller and whatnot
but
there's another guy that
Just listen man in in anything and any any fucking aspect of life whether it's roofing
Baseball sports UFC, you know, I saw it
I first started learning about it when I worked for a sports betting service
You know most sports betting service if you belong to one what they do is that they have a hundred clients
Let's say
Pittsburgh is playing the Dallas Cowboys
What they usually do is they give out 50 people Pittsburgh and 50 people at Dallas Cowboys
I
Worked for a sports betting service that did not do that. They gave everybody the same picks, but
what
They would do is you know, they would cater it to your
Whatever you wanted to play let's say you were you're a parlay guy
You want to bet two teams and go for bigger money a five-time parlay is $30 to lose
$70 to win. That's when it was when I was gambling when I was back a kid
10-time parlay is $60 to lose 140 to win. Sometimes you have parlay people who want to make two picks
There was this guy that I had that was it there's this guy in the world and every night we go
three in one
three in one
Three in one and I always gave him the one. I don't know what it was
Every night this guy was like a fucking coach somewhere in Missouri. I really liked him
I didn't want to have what everybody else had
But I was giving them the wrong judgment. We would give out four games a night, you know a college basketball game
Maybe three NBA games something like that, you know on an average
But I would always give you know
You would have like a chart and it would have the four teams and who you were giving those teams to
If you go back at those charts, I always gave him the one that lost
He was a hell of a nice guy. He left me as a client. I would have left me too. I was giving them number losers, but
Pete's felt through the cracks we were winning we were actually fucking winning
I think the last year I worked there. I had a guy that was paying me out the ass
We were winning we were doing really well
We went on a hot streak when you go on a hot streak
Everybody hears about it and gambling and they jump on the bandwagon with you, but this poor guy this poor coach
Listen, he doesn't even matter. It's been
Fucking you know, 25 years since I worked on the sports betting service that guy has moved on
I've moved on but I still think about that guy. I applied him to life that sometimes people just fall through the cracks
There's nothing you could do to control it and Brian Holtzman who they put on that portrait on this spec
I'm the documentary this week, but that guy made this laugh for fucking years. That guy Brian Holtzman is one of the true
Funniest motherfuckers working. He just didn't have the the fucking you know
He's a nut like me. He didn't have the fucking time to play the game or the patients play the game
Sweetheart of a guy
Kill her up on stage. My favorite Brian Holtzman story is we put a fart machine in the fucking room
While he was on stage one night and the kid who had the fart machine
Kept putting it off and Brian Holtzman was trying to do his jokes
This is from the count, you know, if you're watching the documentary
They're telling you shit that you know you guys you cannot believe I mean I was at the comedy store in 97
When there was eight people on a fucking Wednesday night, you know
You think about all the gold and glitter and all the shit that was going on down in the last seven years
Dog before that it was a rough fucking place
I know tons of comics like I mentioned names that walked in there looked at me and said
I don't know how the fuck you do this and walk the fuck out of there
It was tough. It was tough
The only a certain type of comic went down there not a lot of comics went down there
And the comics that did go down there were rough and tumble type guys
That was a rough fucking place
But Brian Holtzman at night would make that fucking place
So much better because after all the bumps after everybody got bumped after every be left mad
Brian Holtzman was a trooper
in fact
It was Brian Holtzman who told me something one night somebody bumped us because they talked a lot about bumping on the
Documentary bumping is when you're about to go up at 11 o'clock and a star walks in and goes on stage
And now you got to sit there like a fucking mootalua
Want me to tell you something? I never got mad at that
I can look you guys straight into the face and tell you I never got mad at bumping because I
Always knew that was part of the game
It's like when Christopher Maltesani complained to Tony Soprano
I'm about always having to pick up dinner because he was a low man on the totem pole and he's like
What are you worried about some day some kids gonna be buying you dinner? It's the same fucking concept
You know when you when you're at the comedy store, and you're fucking green bitch
You're gonna go through a lot of suffering and a lot of mental fucking anguish whether or not, you know
You're even good whether you're getting bumped. It was always a surprise
You didn't know if Eddie Griffin was gonna bump you dice was gonna bump you Paul Mooney was gonna bump you Gary
Shannon was gonna bump you you didn't know it was the night of bumps
There was some nights those stars just came in and bumped themselves like there were nights where who went up last night
Fuck it Eddie Griffin went up dice went up and Mooney closed it up though two in the morning
Nobody went up, but that was all part of the fucking game a lot of you guys are there sitting at me going
I wouldn't say that yes, you would because you had nowhere else to go
You had to sit there pinned in case this guy got off fucking stage. You know many nights
I sat there and waited just and couldn't do coke
Don't tell me all it's because you were doing coke couldn't do coke. I was going up on stage
How the fucking I do coke I could just walk around and talk to people and shit like that
But that's how I built my friendships at Ari and Joe and fucking Duncan and red band
Which is sitting around waiting. You know many comments and say fuck you I'm leaving
But it was Brian Holtzman
Who one night back there in 97. I'm like, I can't believe I'm waiting around for a 145 spot and he's like
You don't want it
Go put it out go get a truck board and put out on the street. Joey doesn't want his 145 spot
Who wants to do it? See how many people will sign up for that fucking spot?
So Brian Holtzman set me straight
Right fucking then and there. I mean Brian Holtzman sent me fucking straight like listen
You just got to wait that's part of a fucking game. That's part of becoming a comic and you know what by waiting
After a while, you don't even want to talk to people no more
You just want to watch that comic and learn and to me it was lucky because in my world
It was poor Mooney why to follow and TK whatever his name was and Dom Marrera and Andrew
So by following those guys it made me the comic who I am today, you know Joe Rogan always says
That it killed me because a lot of people give Joe shit and a lot of people give me shit
I still get shit about it. People say that's the funniest man walking around and people go. No, it's not it Joe
But Bill Burr, that's not how Joe meant it
Joe meant it in the sense of
Listen, let me tell you something. Look what just happened in front of your eyes
Comedy Central went out of business and Quibi went out of business
You haven't mentioned that I haven't mentioned that about Quibi going out of business
Quibi was a Jeff Katzenberg or whatever fucking project where it was 10 minute shows
And it would shoot 10 10 minute shows
Well, those motherfuckers went out of business and it's like Tim Dylan said the other day
God bless Tim Dylan because he says it right Quibi went out of business and all of us didn't have a job
You know comedy central went out of business because
America finally woke the fuck up
How the fuck were all these comics hiding and you were promoting all these other comics?
You know, they were hiding the Ari they were hiding me
They were hiding tons of people that were exposing the Joe Rogan podcast
So where did comedy where was comedy central's fucking credibility?
I mean, I'm not putting comedy central down. Listen, if it wasn't for comedy central
What Ari should fear this is not happening. I wouldn't be where I am that show was fucking that show made me where I am today
It let me showcase my storytelling and I went deep on there and I didn't do it for comedy central
I went deep on there for my brother Ari because I wasn't letting him the fuck down
You know, I didn't have a beef with comedy central
But they never thought about me for anything. So fuck them. I did that show and put my fucking soul on the line
Put you as a fucking Ari
But even after those things people were like, who are all these comics that you don't show us
So what happened to comedy central was they kind of lost credibility and quib instead of fucking looking at comedy central
I'm going we don't want to become them and hire all these fucking
Bumps to fucking because quibby had just a bunch of broiler shows
I'm not here insulting anybody or putting anybody down
But they didn't go to any of us
They didn't go to Duncan. They didn't go to fucking Tim Dillon
They didn't go to Burke Christia. They didn't go to nobody
So what the fuck right? Yeah, what the fuck?
Who's fault is that because we're bad boys or whatever the fuck because we're comics
But you want with that, you know, how many actors do you see on tv shows?
That the tv shows keep getting canceled and they keep bringing them back on another format
I don't know how many fucking shows they're gonna give these people
But at the same time Tim Dillon sitting at home, Andrew Schultz is sitting at home
Makes you gotta fucking wonder like what the fuck are these people doing at quibby?
How can Andrew Schultz be at home? How wasn't Andrew Schultz the fucking lead show on quibby?
I'm not even talking about Joey Diaz yet. I'm old. I'm out of it. You know, whatever. I got white hair
I do drug whatever the fuck you want to say. Forget me
What about fucking?
Annie Liederman
Where was her quibby fucking show? Where was Andrew Schultz quibby fucking show?
Where was Tim Dillon's quibby fucking show?
Why would they go with people who are doing things?
Let's pick up the same fucking stiffs that have been on tv for 20 years boring you the fucking deck
Like that then you complain about netflix, you know, this is what happens
You don't go with the people who are going to take you to the fucking promise land
You went with the same people who are breaking tv's for the last 20 years
20 years they've been breaking tv's
That's who quibby decided to get into business with 20 years of fucking bad television
Let's get back on the boat with these fucking idiots and show you bad tv for 10 minutes
That's what I need 10 different tv 10 minute fucking shows that are bad
For love of fucking Pete
I'm sorry. I'm going off today, but it's true. You know, I'm Sydney. I'm out of game. I'm out of the game
I'm on the fucking sidelines. I'm on one of these guys la's where the game is at all this shit. I'm done
I'm just letting you guys know that I hope you're seeing this
I hope you're paying attention to these things quibby went out of business
There was no rogan on there. There was no red band on there. There was no tony hinchcliffe on there
There was fucking nobody on there. So what are you doing? You're telling people you want them to start a network
But you don't go with the fucking people that are doing things
It just fucking drives me crazy
But as uncle joey, I don't have to worry about those things no more
I'm very happy with my fucking little life now in new jersey. I'm a full-time dad
I'm a part-time entertainer. I'm not surrounded with that shit no more
It just makes you fucking sit back and laugh and go. What the fuck didn't you learn your lesson?
I was in shock. Listen. I wasn't putting the meluca on quibi by no means. I have friends that were on quibi, you know, but
Jesus fucking christ. They're already out of business. That's it
10 minute shows already. That's it
fuck
Anyway, back to the situation at hand
I've been getting a lot of fucking emails lately a lot of little fucking tidbits
That joey you you look better
You look happier
Whatever
I didn't know what was going on with me the last two or three weeks
Because I went from a state of fucking panic
a state of confusion
and then
I mean thank god for Mike, you know, we got the podcast going October 5th
and this is the eighth podcast we've done and uh
You know things have slowed up for me. I had to slow them down
Nobody slowed them down for me. I had to put a fucking
Put my foot down and do what I thought was best
For me and my family
I took care of my family. I focused on my family getting them out of LA
Getting the house in jersey, you know getting them in school. She's in school four days a week
She's at the after-school program. She plays with fucking kids on the street. She's fucking happy
My wife is fucking very happy. You know, she's got friends. She's got a life
Friday night we went out to uh
We went out with friends and on the way home
I go where's your other friend give her a call and she goes, you know, I might as well
And my wife ended up going out for a drink with her, you know the some outdoor thing
Just from to like 10 or 11 o'clock. I feel very happy for my daughter and my wife
But I didn't know what I was feeling. I know I I didn't need to call up in the daytime no more
I know that I'm not confused anymore
But then I started feeling this other fucking thing coming on like the last three weeks
Wasn't confusion
It wasn't uh
anxious
It wasn't anger
I had nothing to do with that. It was just like something
Just wasn't right, you know something just wasn't right
I was having a good time with mike. I'm having a good time going on uncle venise on wednesday nights
You know, it's like I tell people it's the most I could do for right now
I had to do this step by step and you know, just
I can't keep looking at this how beautiful is this?
Oh my god, look at this. Can you imagine sticking this up your ass with type of party you left?
You put the use that as a suppository. See how high you are. Forget the fucking levels. I did on friday night
I was fucked up friday night. Thank you for watching that tape
I was fucked up because fridays. I got shit nothing to do. I got nothing to do on friday. I'm done for the week
I'm sitting here waiting for my daughter to come home
Usually sometimes I go up north, but it was rainy something was going down
So friday had nothing to do my friend was coming down. Anyway, we were going out to dinner
So when I met them, I gave them an edible. They were like, what's that edible? You were talking about so
We're not even talking about the hundred milligrams
I'm not even eating the abx no more. I still got a ton of abx
I'm saving those for my my tolerance has gone down. So these pro tabs are just 25 milligrams
The last time I ate an abx I fell asleep at jimmy florentine's house during sunday football
So and I still love you guys. I still got a ton of abx
I love the fucking product. It's still great. I'm just fucking too old for an abx right now. It'll kill me
So I've been just dealing with these little pro tabs just to take them, you know, and
Be able to just be social, you know
so I ate like
two or like four in the afternoon
Just to get the blood going and then I fucking met my friends for dinner with my wife and my daughter
And they asked me before we left what happened to that thing
So when I put fucking a couple in their hands, I popped two more
Now i'm running at 100 milligrams, which is usually nothing for uncle joey
Then I come home and I popped two more like eight. I was bored. I was upstairs with my wife
I had to answer all this stuff. We're watching some fucking movie or something
And then I started doing my sleep aids and that's completely different. That's a complete different territory
Because my sleep aids are all like two milligrams shit
So let's say I take five pills
Yeah, it's two milligrams, but it still adds up to 10. You know what I'm saying?
Let's say I put two kikimos under my fucking tongue the subliminal
It's two fucking things, but it's still four milligrams. And then when I make the tea, you know how many nights
I've fallen asleep with the tea on my lap
You have no idea
Getting back to what Joe Rogan says that I'm the funniest guy in the world
It's not on stage
It's the shit that I do all stays
The little remarks I make and the shit that happens to me that I don't remember to tell you guys
You know how many nights? All right. So one night I spilled the tea
One night I actually fell asleep with the fucking tea once I drink the tea. That's the nightcap right there
So you like last night I didn't take no item
It was Monday. I will take some edible on a Monday. What type of animal?
I used to eat them on Mondays and I lived back in LA
But since I've been here, I don't need to take them on a Monday. I got too much on my plate on Mondays Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays
I got too much on my plate last night. I didn't take any edibles
last night I put fucking maybe
Three things under my tongue and I ate maybe three of the fucking pills
And I drank the tea at like
Maybe 10 to 10 I was done with my night last night
And guys I remember walking upstairs at 10 like last night was one of the rare nights. I didn't fall asleep on a couch
I mean, I usually do for like 10 minutes and then I catch myself
but
Usually I fall asleep fucking watching tv at night like and I fall asleep as soon as I finish that tea
Some nights I just sip one thing of the tea
And I fucking go to the other night I woke up in the middle of the night
The tea was next to me. I had taken two sips. It was freezing now. I'm waking I got up. I'm like, what the fuck is this?
But the tea puts me to fuck up. But sometimes all those edibles add up
and fucking Friday night I got
Fucked up. I hadn't been that fucked up in the my couple weeks jack. I made a fucking tape on youtube
I don't know what the fuck I was talking about. I tried to watch the tape the other day. I passed out that night
And I woke up and I had to warm up a fucking meal. That's how fucking
That's how fucking hungry I was at about three o'clock
I had a whole chinese festival going up in my living room because my wife had gotten chinese food early that day
She goes, we'll save it tomorrow for lunch. Fuck you
I thought it wasn't a lot. I tore into three little wontons in a soup. I make out
They had good wonton soup in my neighborhood good wonton soup
And I had a white rice a little bit of white rice and she had szechuan beef
So I had a bunch of the spicy shredded beef at two in the morning three in the morning
I fucking woke up the next day. It was a piece of rice in my sleep apnea mask
Just one
Single piece of rice. I looked at that. I'm like, what the fuck
Where the fuck is my life going? This is the shit you people need to see
What what I'm gonna start making a video for you guys. What's it uncle joey sleep apnea mask this morning?
When I go off on munchies, I remember when dad woke up and there was pieces of fucking popcorn everywhere
I must have been eating that fucking my daughter's cheese popcorn or some shit
I don't even know how to shit like for a while there during the pandemic in march and april
Oh lordy
I was going deep with those abx's
When the fucking pandemic first hit I gained 16 fucking pounds
The first month because I was getting so fucking high
My anxiety was so high off the charts. I was eating close to 600 milligrams a night and I ain't fucking kidding
When I ain't fucking kidding you you could get lee on the fucking phone
We were popping those things. I know I was he would laugh at me. I don't know how you do it
I got to do it. My insides were on fucking fire
So I was waking up in the middle every fucking night
I would munch out and that's why that's the only negative to the edibles because I could smoke dope all day
And not eat one fucking thing. I've only had oatmeal today
I smoked two joints this morning early
Early
And I had oatmeal no toast no nothing
For lunch, I have a protein shake maybe something a little later than for dinner whatever
So yeah, I don't reefer doesn't affect my fucking appetite edibles make me go fucking bananas
I mean to the point where it's not good. It's scary
Like the cheese is gone. The ham is gone
Chips are gone. You know, I don't drink soda. Thank god. I don't eat cake or cookies or nothing like that
I just eat fucking food
Thank fucking god, man
But last night was a very weird night
because
I went to bed early
You know like 10 30 quarter to 11. I had to be when I went to fucking bed
And I woke up like a 4 30
I didn't have to pee or anything. I just woke up
I played there for about seven eight minutes
And I was like man, maybe I'll just get up
Go downstairs write a little bit
maybe take
two more droplets of the
CBD
maybe two more droplets of the
The kikimo tincture
And I'll go back to bed, but I go fuck. I gotta do the podcast early. I gotta get up. I don't want to be fucking
Sleepy for Mike or fucked up for Mike, you know, I want to
be as
Good as I could be on these things
so I said fucking I just uh
Try to fall back to sleep on my own and I got comfortable or whatever I laid down and
It wasn't happening and my mind started thinking about stuff, you know, like that's the natural
I didn't want to get up
and something hit me
Something hit me that hadn't been me in a long time
That feeling I had that little feeling I've been having the last maybe two weeks because I tell you this goes on
In like two week increments, you know, like the last eight weeks. I felt different the last two weeks, you know
So when from august 19th
To september 1st, I moved into my house. I had a weird feeling and then from september 1st to maybe the 15th
It took me that long to get rid of that full-time anxiety
And then from the 15th of september
To october 1st, maybe the feed
Decimated a little bit. I got the fear out
You know, I started accepting that, you know, the church wasn't happening. I started missing lee
I started accepting a lot of things by beginning of october and then, you know, thank god for mike
He called me because i'm ready to go and we started doing this
And I progressed fantastically this month
But something else happened
The last two weeks, you know, I mean listen, my buddy died. My sister-in-law died
My wife is walking with a fucking
a thing on her foot
She broke her during the fucking pandemic. My wife was playing
Whatever the fuck not tennis, but the other shit with mercy
And she stepped wrong and she thought there was something wrong with her foot
And she just came, I guess they were the doctor with a fucking thing on her foot
She's limping around. She's got to wear it for like a month
so
Yeah, listen, it's life
Bad things are gonna happen and you're gonna react to them. You know, I miss my
my buddy
I miss my sister-in-law, you know, I see what my brother's going through
I see what a lot of people are going through. I mean, I'm gonna tell you something guys that I'm gonna be strictly honest with you
I'm gonna tell you how hard it is on people right now
financially
This is the first time in my life
And I'm not talking about it being hard on me. I'm talking about me trying, you know, helping people and whatever
This is the first time in my life. And if you want, I'll show mike just to prove it to you that I got a hundred dollars on my paypal
This is the first time in since I've had paypal that I've had like 52 dollars in that
because
People are going through a hard time
I usually have, you know, 600 500 400 people buy CDs
You know, whatever shit like that. This is the first time I got under a hundred bucks
Because people are fucking hurt. People need money. People don't know what they're, you know, people move it in
I mean, maybe you're not going through it or whatever, but you have to be
You know, drive up and down your streets, you know, businesses are going out
People aren't working the full amount, you know, and and the holidays are going to be rough on some people. This is rough
You know, when I'm playing fucking games here, you know, people needed to help them whatnot
But this morning when I was laying there in bed
I didn't want to get up. I didn't have to pay
But I thought about what this latest feeling was that I had that was in me
And the feeling was happiness
The last two weeks I ever since Mercy's been going to school for days
Listen, I was happy when she was going to school two days a week
Because we were still covering the spread around the house. There's still tons of stuff to do our neighbors are great people
Our neighbors around the corner are great people the florentines are a great family. I still had a great support system
but
uh
This morning, I I finally came to a conclusion like I remember even smiling but
Like I just smiling going
I can't remember the last time I was this complete
Like this complete
Regardless of what's going on outside people have my empathy and I sympathize with everybody
But for me my insides, I haven't been this happy
I don't remember the long fucking time
Maybe since I got into the comedy store, but even then I was dealing with the pain of my daughter
I mean right now I am
This is the best Joey Dears I've ever been and I didn't even know it. I didn't even know
What happiness felt like like total total happiness
like
You know and then watching the documentary
My friends are happy with the fucking North Bergen shit
My door everybody's happy around me. You know, I mean people struggling people are dying
You know, this is life people getting flat tires, you know
Uh, you know, my wife
Whatever with the fucking foot now. I gotta hear like
She's dragging the other foot
But besides all that stuff I could really look to you guys in the eye
And tell you I'm happy as fuck Lee's up in Milwaukee. He's taking care of he's going home on Friday
I'm happy. He's finally going home to his mom
You know, he's gonna be home for all the holidays
The Jewish high days, you know, all that stuff
So I'm happy for him. He's taking care of you know, nothing bad's going on with him
Steve Simone is doing his thing. I miss him, you know, Dean Del Rey. I miss my brother
I miss that motherfucker with all my heart. I please support Dean Del Rey. He had fucking
Rob Halford on and a when I talked to him after he taped AC DC
It was like talking to a five-year-old kid
That just robbed the candy store like he was so fucking happy
So if you get a chance to port fucking Dean Del Rey
You know, hit him up telling Dean we're proud of you because he really is doing a good job
That's one guy that
Never brought me down. He really understood LA. He wasn't desperate. He wasn't needy
He didn't have there all the different marks that people at that level of stand-up have
I don't know if it was his age. I don't know if it was because he was that wise of a dude
But Dean Del Rey, I miss you the death. He gets all the love from my heart. I mean
He kept plugging. What did I tell you? This is about guys
There's gonna be a pandemic and you're gonna have to wear a mask and you're gonna have to do this
And you have to do that
But if you lay down then life's gonna take you down
But if you keep going head on
Listen, I had to take that little period off just to acclimate
Just to see what the fuck was gonna happen here. And I tell you something
Even though I wasn't moving forward
Now I could tell you I was moving forward because I was taking care of my mental health
Somebody even suggested that to me the other day. They were like, we can see your mental health is a lot better guys
I was surrounded by desperation
Fucking, you know, when you're in that business, you're desperate and I'm not mad at you
I'm sure I was desperate the first year. I was there also
But when you see people in these desperate positions
Really shocked me what
What I've stepped away from was desperation and greed
I've stepped away from all that
The desperation and greed I saw the last six or seven years in LA
Was fucking disgusting and it went
It manifested up on top and it ran down
So the agents were greedy the fucking the fucking client was greedy and they all got one that lost their fucking minds
And I'll tell you
you know
Happiness you can't buy happiness
What I have in my stomach right now beside fat and a fucked up liver and a kidney and god knows what else
You know pubic hairs are settling down there. Who the fuck knows but what else I have in my stomach
Is I can look you guys straight in the face and tell you I haven't been this happy in a long time
I didn't even know how happiness manifested itself
I didn't even know I had no idea because I hadn't felt it in so long for years
Nothing was right
For years I felt like I could never reach this point where nothing was right
This isn't about money or tv shows
Or back end or that this is just about life right now
Me being in this house me
Just living like I'm not doing much. I'm doing stand-up once a week and that's all you're probably gonna get out of me for a while
I'm not
I'm not looking to do a lot of fucking things right now. I'm looking to get healthy
I've been writing some stand-up. I have been writing in the book. I'm trying, you know
So that tells me also of my fucking progress because I couldn't write any fucking jokes, man
I'm writing jokes again. They're not fucking the birth type fucking jokes
Well, Dave Chappelle type jokes, but I'm writing and little steps become big steps the more I keep fucking doing it
But happiness is something that I haven't fucking
You know, you get temporary happiness
Somebody licks your balls fucking you get a tv show
You know, you fucking have a great weekend at a comedy club
You know, somebody tells you you had a funny joke. Those are just like temporary moments of happiness
In what's been going on in your reality
But to look you straight in the face and tell you that I'm happy all the way down to my balls
I'm happy with the decision I made
I'm happy that I stuck to my plan. I'm happy that I stuck to my word
I'm happy that the people around me didn't get fucking, you know, listen, this could have been a lot worse off
I lost two people. I could have a lot. How many people died from this fucking covid thing?
A lot. I could have lost a lot of friends. I lost two and both deaths were not the covid one was
And the other one was just a heart attack. So
You know, this could have all been different, but for the first time in a long time
I'm fucking happy and you people witnessed it. You people could see it on my face
You could hear it in my voice and you could feel it in my heart. I don't have those things around me
They were making me unhappy
And I can't describe the feeling to you
I can't even fucking tell you and I didn't even know we don't even know what true happiness is
You know, little things don't bother me no more
The things that used to bother me don't bother me anymore
I have a tremendous relationship with my daughter. Listen. Yeah, I fucked up. I lost the daughter before
I ruined the wedding who hasn't who hasn't ruined the marriage with their behavior and drugs or whatever
If you haven't fucking ruined the marriage, then good for you, you know, Bon Jovi got it right the first time
A lot of us have to get married after. Yeah, he's the only guy that got it right the first time
He's been married since fucking slippery warm weather or whatever
But I'm talking about us as he you know
I haven't fucking been happy, you know, I mean all of us fucking make mistakes
I got the right wife
I'm having
Just a great time with my daughter guys
You know the bus picks her up at 8 30
We all I get up at like seven
You know, we all do our own little things in the morning
But then we all huddle up before she goes to school
And we talk and she tells me about her day and what her plans are going to be and who she's going to see
Today she was talking to me and she goes oh, hold on one second and she ran and she came back and put a little dodger hat on
She's getting ready for the dodgers tonight and shit. So, you know, things are good, man
And it's not about fucking being in movies. It's not about being on the fucking road
It's not about driving a Mercedes Benz
If you're not generally happy
This shit ain't gonna work
Listen for the most part
In LA I was about 60 percent there
You know, I had to do shit to get me there, but I was about 60 percent there here
I gotta tell you guys, I'm 100 happy and all aspects
My relationships, my friends, what's going on with Mike
You know, just all this shit the road it'll be there forever. I'm not worried about the road
Philly
I'm gonna miss you. I missed you last week
But I'll be down there next year and we'll put it together at the park casino
And all the places where we schedule whatever the fuck that'll I don't want to put anybody in danger
I don't want to make anybody feel like how I feel when I go to a fucking restaurant
Even if I'm sitting outside and somebody coughs
They're on my next pop-up and they should you know, whatever
I can't imagine being inside a theater
Or being inside a comedy club. I do uh vinnies on wednesday, but it's what?
38 fucking people nobody's gonna get hurt. You know, they got the doors open and we got some ventilation in there
Dino, Vinny is doing everything he can
To make it safe in there and I wouldn't go down there if he wasn't if I went down and there was 100 people
I wouldn't fucking go up. I just wouldn't go up. You know, burt was the one that told me he don't like doing inside stuff
Because he did it inside gig and the guy packed it up
So no, I'm not packing it up inside. We'll do low numbers. I don't want to fucking do comedy outside
What am I a fucking magic act? It's 38 degrees is friday night comedy outside is over with
You know, the heater is temporarily
The heater is great until that wind comes off the fucking Hudson and knocks you off your fucking chair in november or december
So my comedy is done for november and this i'm just doing if you don't see me at uncle vinny's
I'm not going anywhere and every wednesday i'm at do uncle vinny's december is not in the cards yet
We don't know what's gonna happen in december, but i'm doing tonight
And then i'm taking the first two weeks of november off and then i'm going back on the wednesday nights
I hope that he has december open if things open up
I'm gonna have to finish a movie who knows what the fuck i'm gonna have to do
But that's all i want to tell you motherfuckers today that
For the first time it wasn't cocaine
For the first time it wasn't robbing somebody
For the first time it wasn't
Doing a show or opening for anybody or a particular movie
You know, it's like I told you last week that in la
it's programmed
To disneyland to entertain your kids
Here, you know we're programmed for the kids to entertain each other
For years i've been using
Not using
But doing things that I thought would make me happy
To be genuinely happy inside is a fucking gift that
It only happens a couple times in your fucking life
I mean, I don't remember being this happy at my wedding. I don't remember being this happy when I graduated eighth grade
I don't remember being this happy because I got laid. I don't remember being this happy at all
This has just been a genuine happiness and I want to thank you guys. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you who helped me a lot in this
What process helped me a lot because remember the podcast on the number 15
Patreon
I love you motherfuckers with all my heart
Thank you. You asked the right questions. I answered the right fucking answers
You know, I looked at a video of a patron and me in august
I was looking rough. I was beat up. I was fucking scared
I was confused, you know, I was a lot of fucking things
today
Oh, I shed all that shit. I still got my fucking rash, you know, you can't get rid of a rash
I still got that ball rash. I still got the fucking uh, fungi toenail
You know, I got nails now. Can you fucking believe this? Look at this cocksuckers. I haven't bit my fucking nails
How is that even possible?
My daughter stopped using ketchup
And I stopped biting my fucking nails
Can you believe this? I stopped biting my nails
What the fuck possesses a person that's been biting his nail for 50 fucking years
So stop biting his fucking nails
This has just been a tremendous fucking thing for me
So I thank you and I want you to know that I made the right move
And I want you to know that I I felt the support you gave me
When I was moving and the kind emails and the kind messages and for watching my videos
I'm also fucking proud of you motherfuckers. It's a joey. Go the fuck away. You're too old. You're this you're that
I just want honesty out of you people. I keep I keep looking at this thing going. Jesus christ
This looks like a living tiramisu. Look at this
Only tiramisu could bring you this much fucking happiness. I don't even know what type of weed this is. This is
I don't even know. I don't want to say because I might be the wrong weed, but
Oh, I can't wait till I put the podcast, you know what I'm saying? And that's it. And that's that
You know, we used to we we go through all these fucking feelings
And when we get the right ones, we don't even recognize
That they're there like when we get the right feelings, we don't even I
I don't even know what that feeling is. I must be having anxiety. No, and that's why a couple weeks
When I just fuck with the anxiety medication fuck all this shit. I'm gonna bring myself to life on my own
I can't keep depending on this anxiety medication
My sister was like when you feel it in the afternoon
Just take a half and no fuck that shit. See I got caught up in that fucking that bullshit
People have been dealing with anxieties at the beginning of fucking life breathing through their fucking nose
Riding your bike lifting weights. I'm gonna do it the same way and look. This is the fucking result
I'm so an ugly motherfucker. I'm still getting older. But you know what, man
There's nothing like fucking bringing up your own energy
Haven't gotten a acupuncture in a while
I haven't even found an acupuncturist here in LA and uh, new jersey
My friend says he's got a chinese one for me. I'm ready to go speaking to chinese people
I want to give a shout out to a chinese dude who works at the mail
He's a mailman with my little brother guide to basketball and c-quark this new jersey
Guide to basketball always tells me about this little mailman. He works with a chinese dude
That's a fan of the podcast and while I remember here. I just want to let you know
I love guide with all my heart
But I want to give a shout out to the chinese mailman because he's always telling guys shit about what I say on the podcast
And what now I'm sure I'll get a call from guide tonight saying what the fuck Diaz
You got me in trouble with the chinese mailman. Nah, he said you was your buddy
They listens to the show
Somebody's gonna give him a fucking shout out. Who gives a fuck here? It's wednesday motherfuckers. It's september 28
We're coming up on halloween. Guess what else i'm doing
I'm going to a halloween fucking party. I'm dressing up
I don't know you got to dress up by the fucking first initial of your name
So that means joker. I'm gonna go as a jerk off. I think i'm gonna paint myself as a dick with like fucking sperm on my neck
I don't fucking know what else begins with j jerk off
joker
Jamoke, maybe I could just be a fucking jamoke. I don't fucking know
Maybe I just go as jose. That's what I think I was only going to put
Put like a little mustache in and get like a little hat with some motherfucking maracas and shit and walk in there and just
Talk Spanish to people. I was thinking about that. You know, listen, it's halloween
When was the last time I dressed up for halloween? Hold on joey. You want a halloween mask?
Put cellophane on your face. You ever see the samba in the sun when
Onesta comes home with the cellophane
She goes on that's I even got something for you and he gave a little ball of saran wrap. She opened it up
She's like friend. What's this? He goes, that's your halloween mask. Put it on
We still got it cock fuckers. It's wednesday the 28th halloween's coming
That's it. And that's that I just want to check in with you motherfuckers on a wednesday morning
Let you know i'm doing fine
Let you know it fucking worked
And let you know i'm grateful for you motherfuckers for giving me a chance
And for sticking it out with me today. We broke the third wall. We introduced mike
You know mike's laughing on here and shit and little by little
We're gonna start zooming guesting
And uh, we're gonna get this up and running how you want it. I'm fucking glad
I didn't start it in that bar
Because we found out something about the body at night the other night we had company and we came downstairs and we were just talking shit
And I had my computer on you know what with the computer system stairs
The tv was on and my wife put the heater on
And the power went out
How about that? That's the first siren you've heard in eight episodes. Remember in la you heard fucking sirens every fucking day
That's the first siren
That we've heard in the fucking month here. I haven't heard a helicopter. I'm getting ptsd from not hearing fucking helicopters in la
That's how good it's been here
but uh
I don't even know what the fuck I was saying. I got it's time to smoke this week. This fucking reefer has broken my fucking
Focus today. Thank god. I took fucking alpha brain this morning. I gotta thank them too
Because I gotta be honest with you guys
Let me tell you what my logic was
My head and my heart was so fucked up before I left la
I thought that doing the alpha brain would fucking work against me and make me get all fucked up
So thank god, I stayed off the alpha brain
Until I moved into the house like I gave it 10 days
So I started my cycle alpha brain like September 10th around there
I think it was a Monday and here we are today not even a month later
And I'm thinking clearer
I'm sharper
You know what I'm saying?
This ain't no fucking make-believe shit my new mood at night that helps me lay down relax a little bit more
You see my you know, you could tell I'm a little more relaxed. I'm not agitated. I'm not giving
Honest on it a fucking push here. I'm just telling you the things I did
To get to where I am today
It was just a couple things, but I knew getting out of LA. It was one of them
Maybe right now you're feeling a little weird about your situation and stuff
And you don't see things happening. I would have left LA
Five years ago
But I knew the hall across the country was I didn't want to think about doing it
But once I did it and once we got out of the way the cats are fine
My family's fine. I'm fine
Some stuff got broken some stuff got lost
Who gives a fuck?
Everybody's happiness is back
And that was the main purpose of this fucking trip. We just weren't happy no more
You have to accept it sometimes man that sometimes you're just not happy
Whether it's in a marriage
It could be a fucking job that you have
It could be something that you do it doesn't make you happy, you know
It doesn't make you happy. Don't keep doing
Don't add little substitutes, you know
I thought by adding a tv show whatever was going to make me happy. No
What was going to make me happy was me getting out of there and starting from scratch again
Yeah, I missed my friends
I missed what I was doing, but it was time for a new fucking life
And I'm happy you guys got to witness me doing it
From A to Z and didn't have to hear about it. You're witnessing it. You're seeing it
You're seeing all the videos. You look at it. I'm a different fucking person. I mean we change every seven years anyway
But as far as our insights our insights stay the fucking same
Unless we lessen or add more aggravation or whatever
I'm not even gonna agitate that the shit I used to no more
Doesn't matter to me no more
These things I have no abuse of nobody
I have no regrets with nobody
I'm just trying to live my life being a better dad than being a better person
And still trying to be funny, you know what I'm saying? We're gonna be funny
Why have our day again the fucking son?
But it won't be till this fucking shit's over with and then we'll go out there and do it fucking right
But in the meantime, you guys got me here twice a week. You got patreon. We fuck around on twitter
We do whatever we can, you know from time to time we'll release the fucking video to you motherfuckers
I'm here for you guys
But most importantly, I'm happy that you've been here for me because I couldn't have made this fucking run without you guys
After should I do
Is to back up my fucking talk on these podcasts after should I do?
You know, I haven't gotten to white castle yet. I know I know I deserve a smack in the face from you people
I know I should deserve I haven't gotten to white castle yet
I've been to fucking carvel twice, you know, I was telling my wife. I can't believe I haven't eaten entomians yet
I know that I could just move here and die
I could I could die. I could last one month in jersey. All I gotta do is open the valve
I got levotis close to me. I got shot right close to me
I got everybody close to me and they got all the good shit. They got chicken cutlets. They got everything I need to get fucking huge
I've been fucking towing the line
From my health and so you guys could see it that I'm not fucking bullshitting you guys
I work hard. I work hard that all fucking ends, you know, I could just sit upstairs all day
I'm dying for one of those hostess apple pies
Jesus christ, I used to eat eight of those a day and nothing would happen
If I eat an apple pie right now, my central nervous system would just sizzle and the fat would just spurt from everywhere
I can't I don't even drink a fucking coke. I mean nothing nothing
I've been drinking water if I do drink iced tea it's snapper fucking iced tea
The fucking whenever I go get a slice because listen, I don't care what diet you're on
You still gotta eat a piece of pizza every day. There's a cheese slice around my
That's one thing about new jersey, baby. I got my slice back la didn't understand the mentality of the slice
la you walk into a play let me get a slice they put on a piece of paper
They got to give it to the mexican
The mexican gives it back to you that they call your name. That's not a slice
Here is where you get a fucking slice you walk in let me get that one right there
The guy throws it at you
You give the two dollars you get your snap when you're good to go
Let me tell you something a piece of fucking pizza here in jersey is like a vitamin
It's like taking a vitamin if you don't eat your pizza in jersey
You didn't take your fucking vitamins today
And I haven't gone overboard. I haven't had no shrimp parmesan no chicken parmesan just the slice
Remember a slice is like going to a fucking therapist
Just one slice I grew up on a slice every day all the same you put me out there with these fucking
granola eaters
And they don't know how to sell a slice of fucking pizza
Here I just go around the corner walk in how you doing what's going on a boat for me
Give me a slice fucking the other day. I went to vintage records whatever vinyl vintage over in my
Woodbridge that's part of a fucking journey. You got a place next door some little mexicans
I think I wanted tally and hidden in the back tied up. He just gave him the recipe
He just goes in and takes a nap the mexicans are spitting our fucking
Slices that were fucking tremendous. So if you ever go
To vintage vinyl and woodbridge like three doors down. They got a pizza parlor nice not the best
I'm not so oh, bro. I can't find the fucking slice of pizza
It's just a slice of pizza. It's very nice
Very cheesy the tomato sauce got some wang through it
And it's tremendous whether you like it or not. We all got different tastes
But if you're not in New Jersey anywhere, you can suck my dick. We're eating some fucking real pizza here
That's it. That's that
