Hey! Look who it is. What's happening?
Check one two. Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint.
What's happening you bad motherfuckers? It's Monday November 16th. We're at the halfway point
of the month. It's a beautiful fucking Monday to see you. Listen, last week the
podcast were what the fuck they were. You know what I'm saying? But that's what's
great about Monday. It's a whole new week with a whole new set of fucking rules.
I had a great week last week. I had a great weekend. I hope you guys had a
great time. We're safe. You're healthy. You know, whatever the fuck is happening is
gonna happen. We got to push fucking forward. I had an interesting week because
I told you lately that since I've been doing since we moved it's gonna be
fucking three months on Thursday since I moved. And every week my anxiety gets a
little better and better and better. Last week Mike comes over and we're doing
one of the podcasts and I was looking for my weed and I found like maybe a jaw
with the nug. Tremendous fucking weed. But when I looked to see where the fuck
the other weed was I couldn't find my fucking weed. So I said you know what?
It's probably one of the claws. It's it's it's around here somewhere, right? So for a
few days I'm chopping off this fucking bud and I'm like I still haven't found my
weed yet. I looked over here. I looked over there. I looked over here. My weed
is nowhere to be found. I wanted my old luggage. You gotta remember I still
haven't found the fucking pipe. My favorite fucking pipe of all time. I have
not found in three fucking months. It's here. Trust me it's here. I just haven't
found it. Alright. So I can't find this fucking. I got this fucking half ounce of
this fucking. They give this shit to like hemophiliacs and stuff like that. This
is the weed they give you before you die. This shit was tremendous. It was like
white. So I put a half ounce this away and I can't remember what the fuck it is.
It was like to break into emergency situations. You ever see this in that
shit in glass? Don't break unless emergency situation. So I called my guy.
He goes, bro, your delivery's on the way but you can't make the he can't make
the drop off till Friday. I go fucking Friday. I'm not gonna fucking make it
till fucking Friday. So I had some weed Wednesday. I scared. Now you're looking at
me going Joey. What the fuck do you do with all that weed? I smoked it. I'm not
running a weed museum. I made a fucking smoke reef. I'm not running fucking
high times looking at buds dreaming about fucking California. I'm smoking.
You know throughout the day I smoke and I'm not since I don't have my pipe I
gotta smoke fucking joints which kills my fucking reefer. So finally Wednesday I
call a few friends. I got one guy for sure up north and here's the funny thing.
I saw him that afternoon and he offered me some and I said nah I'm good. So I
fucking come home and I get and I look around Wednesday. I can't find my fucking
ounce. I call a friend of mine down here and he goes let me make a call. They
got my block sell some. I go look at me fucking looking for Jersey weed. So I
call my brother. I got a brother who's been smoked. I've been smoking weed with
him since I was 16. He's a professional head. Professional. Doesn't drink.
Doesn't do pills. Doesn't do coke. His whole life is dedicated to fucking
reefer. So I finally broke down and I called them up and I go hey man I'm
gonna bind. You gotta help me. Can I get a couple joints from you? So my mule gets
in. He goes no worries. Come down. So he'll give me your address. I don't know
where the fuck he lives. Close by. I think 25 minutes. I got in the fucking car.
I go let me eat. I didn't want to be a gavone. I just went to the gym and I
hadn't smoked. If I don't smoke I get no appetite in the fucking morning believe
it or not. So I get the fucking I get and I eat my lunch with my wife. A little
cobsal or whatever the fuck she made. I get in the car and I hit the fucking nine
south whatever and I get to his house. Jesus Christ. He takes me downstairs to
the basement. He's like pick whatever the fuck you want. He opened up a bag. It had
gorilla bag on it. Tremendous. It was this fucking big. He had like ten
different ounces in there. I said I don't even need an ounce. He goes take whatever
the fuck you want. He opened up a drawer. It was just different rollin papers. This
is the type of professional this guy is. He ain't fucking around. He had fucking
moon rocks. He had this. He had that. He had more shit than people in California
got. And he's a jersey guy. So I said listen I don't need any other stuff. I
go let's just give me a couple buds. I'm some reefer. I'll take moon rocks as you
could sprinkle the moon rocks in your fucking joint and see the devil won't. I
fucking get home. So I get home. I come downstairs. I roll my first joint. I put
the moon rocks in there. I get so fucking high. I come in. There's a box. The
mule came a day early. It was better than me. And when I was high on the fucking
mule on the moon rocks I said wait a second. There's one place I didn't check.
And I went and hit that place. And there was the half ounce of reefer. You see what I'm
saying? So if you lose something you got to get as high as you were when you hit it
to find it. That's the moral of the fucking story. See I was walking around
all fucking straight for three days. Mikey you fucking laugh. It's true. I
even hit Mikey up. And Mikey's like I got like three nugs myself. I go what type
of Christian would I be if I took me a last drunk and three nugs. I'm not gonna
take some of these last three nugs. Because I knew I had to weed in here.
There's nothing worse than fucking knowing you got something. And you can't
find it. You know it's in the fucking house somewhere. I ran out of places
where the fuck I hid stuff like that. Today we have a zoom. You know I hate
fucking zoom but you got to do it from time to time. We got to break up the
monotony. I got the beautiful and talented and fucking she's the real deal. I
got Miss Draya, Dee, Mateo, waiting in the background on fucking zoom ready to
go. But I want to talk to you a little bit. It's fucking Monday morning. I want
to make sure you're up to par. Make sure you're up to fucking tip top two
conditions. You know everybody's going through it. We don't know when it's
gonna end. You know we don't know there's a vaccine. Now I got to take a shot and
put fucking ice cream in there. It's gonna be it's 100 degrees below fucking
zero. That means my arm is gonna go numb for fucking two times for me to
fucking beat the vaccine. And I don't I don't like fucking needles. Trust me. I
think live nation put a thing out that you're not gonna be able to go to that
concerts without a fucking card. I already got a fake card working. You know
I'm saying we're already working in a fake card. I don't give a fuck. All you
guys get vaccinated. I'll keep my distance. And when it's time, hopefully
this fucking virus will go away and Uncle Joe will be ready to do his fucking
thing. I'm not getting no fucking ice cube shot my arm. I still got two shots
on fucking hold, which I'm not taking. I don't like fucking needles at all. And
I'm not in the mood for a new vaccine right out of the fucking top. I see
what I'm gonna wake up without a fucking hand. I'll wake up with the guy like
from fucking enter the dragon. I got no hands. I got a different fucking
attachments on my arm. I'm not going for that one. If you want to take the shot
be my fucking guest. Me, I'm a gentleman. I just won't go with the fuck out. I
just won't go on my business to whatever until they come up with a pill. But
I'm not shooting ice cubes in my fucking veins. Are you fucking nuts? To put
21 days apart, I barely give blood. I fucking ship myself. Now I got to give
you I got to let you shoot a fucking ice cube in my fucking arm. You didn't
know about that. They got to keep it chilled. It's like fucking it's like
fucking going to crowd therapy shooting crowd therapy in you. That's what I need
right now. Two times. Two times 21 days apart for the shingles at 21 days
apart. Looks like I'm getting fucking shingles. You know what I'm saying? I'm
not going down there. I don't give a fuck, Jack. It's funny how life this
Thursday's gonna be three months since we're all gone and everything like that.
I think I left a week before Rogan. I woke up yesterday morning and I'm going
through whatever I'm playing with my daughter and I see a YouTube clip about
that Rogan abandoned his friends. What what is the fucking? What? What? What
don't people just leave Joe Rogan the fuck alone? He's down there in Austin,
Texas in the capital COVID. He ain't bothering nobody. He ain't bothering
nobody. I gotta tell you something. Joe is not abandoned his friends. Ari went
to fucking whatever. Duncan is in North Carolina. I'm in Jersey. You know,
Brian Cowans and his own fucking dilemmas, which I wish him all the luck in
the world whatever's going on with him. Brendan Shab is in LA. You know, Bird is
in LA. Tom Segura is in LA. Rogan didn't abandon his friends. In fact, I talked to
Rogan twice a week and I gotta be honest with you guys. He sounds better than
fucking ever. And he sounds happier than ever. And I think like like I knew him
when he moved to Colorado and he came back, you know, I've known him for 20
something years. He sounds like a million fucking bucks. He sounds like a guy
that just got a hundred million dollars. That's what he sounds like. He doesn't
give a fuck. He doesn't have a worry in the world. You know, I spoke I called him
yesterday morning. We want to talk for 20 minutes. It was all laughter. And I got
to tell you, I think he got over it all. So we all got that stink off as the LA
stink. And we're seeing the other side of the fucking mountain now. So it's kind
of fucking nice. Nobody's suffering. Nobody's avoiding anybody. Red Band is
moving. Tony Hinchcliffe is moving. I'm sure I'll be down at some time to do a
fucking podcast in the new year. Once the numbers clear up or whatever. I know
you did a show last week with Ron White and Tony Hinchcliffe. Ron White is
enthused. Listen, man, for some guys, this is just a breather. We're not going.
Listen, yeah, it took I broke my heart a little bit. You know, we can't do stand
up every night, but I do know what it's coming back. Everything's gonna come
back in time. And then a different and a different style. We're gonna have life
is gonna be a little different. So it'd be different from musicians. It's gonna
be different for artists. It's gonna be different for plumbers, gonna be
different for customer service people. We're just gonna have to fucking work
around it. You know, they're saying the vaccine will be at the end of November.
God bless you. As they say, good luck to everybody. I don't know what's gonna
happen, but you got to keep your chin up. But to be honest, your Rogan never
abandoned his friends. We just moved away and we're all doing our own
things and we're all looking into the future and seeing what the fuck my
next move is. I'm still fucking I'm more of a stand up now than I ever was. I
will be at Uncle Vinny's Wednesday night and fucking next Wednesday night, the
night before Thanksgiving. And I just picked up three dates in December. I'm
still doing stand up. I'm just not going to tour. I'm not really in the mood to
get on any fucking planes right now. That's it. But besides that, I'm still
fucking stand up. I'm just taking a breather. I'm just living life. I'm trying
to gain more material, better material to come back and spank you motherfuckers
with. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I could come on here and be fucking soggy
bitch and tell you about all the bad things that are going on in the world.
But you don't want to hear them. You know about them. All you can worry about
is what the fuck you're doing. That's it. That's I'm fucking happy right now. I
haven't been this happy in a long time. Yeah, I miss stand up. I miss some
airports. I know my wife would like to see me get the fuck out of here from
time to time. But hey, this is the time. This is what we're doing right now.
We're just collecting ourselves, becoming a little better. I'm hitting the gym
three times a week now. I'm lifting weights. I wasn't lifting weights three
fucking times a week. I'm lifting weights and I found the Jiu-Jitsu place that
does like fucking old man Jiu-Jitsu. So I'm kind of excited about that. It's
going to be a great winter with whatever the fuck they do. If they shut us back
down, what do you mean do cry? I feel bad for my daughter, but I already have a
backup plan set up. We got a list of parents and now you'll be prepared. So
don't worry about the lockdown. You know, the numbers are getting out of a
portion in some states. They exceeded a million and fucking in Texas. God knows
that California is doing God knows the Florida doing. But if you're watching
this, you're alive and maybe you had COVID and maybe you got rid of it and
maybe it's pussy shit and maybe it's just bullshit. Whatever the fuck it is. I
don't have the answers to your problems. All I know is that we're here. It's
Monday and we got to be the best that we can motherfucking be. You know, again,
you know, we're so bored. We're still living in the fucking past. I see the
sweet people are taking digs at the Lee and whatever. Listen, that was six
fucking months ago. Let it go. If they haven't arrested fucking Brian
Cowan, then I don't know what to tell you and nobody's arresting Chris Delia. So
put it behind you. Let's let these guys move on, heal and take care of whatever
problems they have. But kicking them when they're down ain't gonna solve them
right now. I mean, we're comics. We're brotherhood. How dare us kick each
other when we're fucking down? Like I said, a couple of weeks ago, we're
turning into those fucking Jews during the Holocaust, turning on our own
people. Can't turn on your own people. This is the time for us to get closer
and your night. It's really funny. I talked to a friend of mine the other
day from LA. I just called him to check in. No names. And we were talking
about jujitsu and whatnot and how his school has cut it down to maybe a 30
person core. They haven't taken any new students, but they all hang out amongst
themselves and it's made them stronger. And he thought that this fucking
lockdown would break him apart and whatever. And he goes, No, it's made us
30 people stronger. We hang out with each other. We smoke pot with each other. We
play music and hang out with each other. We do outdoor activities with each
other and we're just with each other. So we make sure that none of us can get
away because we're just with each other. So it was a great way of looking at
that. I was kind of fucking happy. You know, I talked to three or four people
of jujitsu own schools. Nobody has gotten sick. So maybe exercise is the fucking
key. I go to a gym. They keep the doors open. There's never more than six
people in there. I wear a face mask. But towards the end of the gym, a workout
sometimes I take the face mask off to drink water, go to the back door, get
some fucking air. You know what? Knock on wood. I'm still fucking good. I'm not
in big groups of people. I'm in little groups of people hang out. Sundays I go
to Jimmy Florentines. I watch a little football. I get high with the boys. I
sit by the back door. We get a nice and ventilated. So all I can do is tell you
is to fucking take care of yourself. Take your vitamins, write your goals. I got an
itchy fucking nose. Maybe I'm gonna get $20. Something always means something.
You're like, oh, my palm fucking itches. I'm gonna find $5. My nose itches. Maybe
I'll get COVID on my dick. Who the fuck knows? Anyway, listen, what I'll further
ado is a Zoom interview we did last week with my girl Drea DiMateo. I'm a fan
of hers. She went from the Sopranos, working with David Chase over the Sons
of Anarchy, did a couple of seasons. The Sons of Anarchy working up against
Jack Hunan, aka Jack Stella. She did a couple of years stent on Joey. I mean,
this girl had a great acting career and she's still not fucking done yet. She's
great. She's funny. We met through AJ Soprano and I love it at that. I hope you
enjoy the interview. Uncle Joey's joint. Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint. We've got
the beautiful, the savage Drea DiMateo, a legend. I love him. I have watched
everything you're in from the Sopranos to Joey to the Sons of Anarchy. And I got
to tell you, you hit the jackpot. You had, you were just tremendous. You were
tremendous. Thanks, Joey. They call me Uncle Drea. I don't people call you
Uncle Joey, right? Right. They call me freaking Uncle Drea. Why is that? I don't
know, because I'm a filthy savage. Okay. Well, as I said, did you ever go to an
acting class? Yeah, right. You went to an acting college? I didn't start out with
it. I mean, I grew up with my mom who's a writer. She's playwright and she taught
writing for years at HB Studio. So I used to have to sit in her writing classes
because I didn't have a babysitter on certain days and I had to listen to her
teach writing. So I learned how to act listening to her teach the writers because
it's kind of the same thing. You know, you want to keep everything moving, keep
everything active kind of thing. But then I went to NYU film school because I
hated theater because I grew up in it. So I did the fuck you anti theater and went
to film school but never to act. But then later on years later when I when I
when I stopped being so freaking shy, I took an acting class. I took a couple.
I learned how to act on the Sopranos. Yeah, the Sopranos was my acting class.
That was some acting class. That was my acting class. That was that was the hell
of an acting class, my friend. Oh my God. And that was that's acting one on one
right there. You were with the best. It's true. If I close my eyes, I think you're
Vinny pastore. That's crazy, isn't it? I don't even have to close my eyes. We just
met recently. We met about four years ago at a movie premiere. And we didn't even
say nothing to each other. We just hugged each other. Like there was nothing to
say. We've been hearing about each other for years, you know. Well, that's how it
is between us, you know, us weirdos in this business. Do you still do you still
see him at all? I have I saw Vinny last year. We gave an award at the MTV
Awards. Okay. And when we were trying to get him to do our podcast, like
thanks to God, his broadcast podcast, it was hard to get in touch with him. And I
was like, you know what, fuck this guy. I'm bringing Joey Diaz on. And I'm going
to say this is big fucking pussy. Because if I can't get in touch with this
brick, I'm fucking just gonna do that. And that's it.
Why no, he teaches an acting class, doesn't he? Yes. Yes, Monday nights, he
used to when I came here a year ago, he was teaching an acting class with
Sylvia's wife. Oh, really? Yes. Yes, on Monday night. And I was tempted to go.
I was in town a few weeks. I would have paid the dropping just to, you know,
sit in there and get all the information they never got to me in time. Oh,
he's awesome. But yeah, he's supposed to come on our show. Now he finally we
finally got in touch with each other. But but now we're taking a hiatus. So I'm
on your show instead. That's it. This is why I love you now. You the
Sopranos ended. You went to Joey. That lasted that lasted a couple weeks. And
then how did you stumble on Sons of Anarchy?
Funny, I was just telling that story. Joey was a couple of years. I didn't
really want to do Joey because I was I didn't want to be typecast back then. I
was real, you know, precious about what being an actor instead of just being an
actor was actually good at talking like this for a living. I was good at doing
that, you know. But Joey dissolved pretty quickly, even though back then we had
millions of viewers. But because friends had 17 million viewers, we had 14
million viewers. That was low. Today, if you had 14 million viewers, forget about
Yeah, that's a kick ass show. But yeah, we were we had such high expectations, me
coming from Sopranos, him coming from friends, that nothing was measuring up.
But but we definitely partied hard and had had a fucking fantastic time. Um,
Sons of Anarchy was because of John Linson. He's he's a producer. His dad is
Art Linson, and they brought the idea to FX. And with the idea, I was just
playing a tiny cameo who dies in the pilot. That was it. And I was like, Yeah,
of course, I'll do that. It'll be fun. You know, I'll die. I'll OD while I'm
pregnant. Why not? That sounds freaking awesome. Um, and then they asked me if I
would stay once I said I would do the pilot. And then John and Art Linson
were no longer a part of the project. And I ended up staying a little bit. But
then I walked out because FX wanted to cut my pay in half. And I was like, You
can't offer me one, you know, pay me one thing. And then a couple of weeks later
telling me so we want to cut your pay in half. So I I declined and went and did
desperate housewives instead. And then I became a fan of the show and I called
Kurt and I was like, dude, I'll come back for nothing. Let's just do it.
Really? Yeah. That's tremendous. Yeah, it was fun. And you were there till the
end. You rode out the sun with Jimmy Smith's another killer that you were
around. Yeah. Yeah, in the end, in the end, they had to pay me though, because I
could, you know, I was never available when they wanted me because I came in and
out a lot on the show. But in the end, they were like, we need to nail you down
as a series regular for the final season. I was like, Are you kidding? They're
like, Yeah, because you never in one city. As long as I know that you're going
to be here in LA, we'll just have to nail you down. I was like, Well, then,
okay, then you got to you got to really pay me this time. So
and they hooked you up and you made history again. What a great fun for now
to that. What a great finale for the Sopranos. I mean, just two iconic shows
man. Yeah, it was pretty cool. Dead and then alive. I survived in the end.
When you look back, your head must explode.
My head is exploding now in this frigging quarantine and not having worked for a
year. I wasn't working purposely for a year before it, thinking I would
definitely work the year after. And now we got stuck in this and I haven't
worked in a while. So I'm feeling it right now.
And you have children?
Yeah, I'm a single mom. And I take care of take care of it all by myself. So
it's, you know, I work, I just only work when I know I have to pay for stuff.
You know, so I haven't worked in a while. And now I need to pay for stuff.
So I'm fucked.
Well, hopefully you'll land something, man. There's
I don't know, not in this climate.
You know, they're shooting, but it's tough to shoot, Tray. I know it's really
tough to shoot. I shot those last three days on the prequel of the
Sopranos. It must have cost them an arm and a leg. We each had a driver. We
each had a floor on the hotel. You know, there was nurses everywhere. COVID
test. You know, to do it the right way in this climate, it's just unless you do
it like Tyler Perry.
And you stay there for eight weeks.
What a good set of me.
Yeah, you're away from your family.
Well, that's all the jobs that are coming my way right now. I'd have to
quarantine in Canada for seven months. I'd have to court and my kids go with
me everywhere. And they're like, we really don't want to do that. And they
won't be able to see their dad for months because he can't visit. You
know, everybody's got to be sequestered like that. And I can't I can't do it.
So I'm kind of fucked right now.
Yeah, somebody just reached out about a show in Wilmington, North Carolina
for December. And I'm like, it's not going to happen.
Yeah, it's just not gonna I don't see it in the winter time.
No, I see. And then I got to have a hassle coming back. And I got a seven
year old, Dre. I can't believe I was with my wife for 13 years. Nothing
happened. We had cats. We had like eight cats. And one day I came home and she
was pregnant.
Wait, how old is she? Please tell me she's big.
She's 50 right now.
Oh, okay. So she was 43.
She was 43. Because I keep hoping I'm gonna get pregnant by some miracle of
48.
Oh, that's tough. That's tough. If you Google it, you have a heart attack.
Oh, I know, unless you have like nurses like Janet Jackson, and they blow
smoke in your pussy and shit like that. It's not gonna it's not gonna work out
for you.
Oh, my great grand, my grandmother had my father when she was 51.
Wow, you know us Italians over here. Yeah, yeah, I know. I know. My
friend's dad had him when he my friend's dad had him when he was 74.
Wait, what not the mom?
No, the mom was like 48 or something.
Okay, well, there's hope for me still.
There's hope for you.
There's hope.
How many more do you want? I would take you on.
I would take one more.
I love after this frigging quarantine with the kids locked down like this.
Maybe I'm exaggerating. Maybe I'll take dog or cat.
This quarantine has been tough on the kids and it's tough to find things to do
with them.
You have a boy or girl.
I have a little girl, man. And when they told me that they were not opening up
the schools, I looked at my wife and I said, we're out of here.
So you were in LA and you left LA to go back to Jersey?
After 23 years.
Because of the because, I mean, why didn't you want to, see, I'm in a
situation where I might have to move right now, but I'm thinking that being
in LA is a blessing and I always want to go back East.
But I feel like being in this, in this COVID thing, it's way, way, way better
being out here because you could be outside. It's warm. It's, you know what I
mean? No.
Dude, why do you have to move?
Because I don't know if I could keep this fancy place without working.
I see what you're saying. All right.
So I keep getting frigging for notifications about foreclosure at this
point. No.
Oh yeah. Because we were a part of the forbearance thing.
And they're just, we can't even get in touch with the mortgage company and
they keep sending us certified letters, but nobody answers the phone.
They keep saying, we're trying to reach you, but nobody calls me and nobody
answers the phone. And it's, it's a, I'm in a mess.
Like it's not even because I'm not paying.
A lot of the money is just not even being applied.
So we're kind of in a, in a crazy, and I've been in this house for 17 years,
but I always lived in New York anyway.
I lived in my apartment that burned down in the East village.
I never liked staying out here, but I was happy for the first time in this
pandemic that I was in this house. I was like, thank God.
No, as soon as they said no school, I knew I was out of that.
I had to find time.
Why would you want to be injured?
You know why? Because if it goes down, I'm close to my family.
Oh, okay. I'm close to my friends.
What am I going to depend on my Hollywood friends to come save me?
No, no, no, no, Joey, no, I mean,
I would come save you and get you out of there with the kids if I was there.
But a lot of people don't think that way. Right?
No, no, no, no, so I didn't want any problems. I had a little girl.
I already bought a gun off the street and I was like, you know,
I don't need this in my life at 57. No, I'm up in, I'm up in studio city.
They robbed in catalytic converters.
They were having parades around the block from my house.
There was homeless people everywhere. It was the end anyway.
Yeah. So for me, it felt like the end.
I feel you. Yeah, it was a mess down there.
I wanted my daughter to grow up on the East Coast.
I wanted her to be at the East Coast toughness to her.
I didn't want her to grow up allergic to peanuts and shit.
And, you know, I didn't, that's not going to fucking happen.
Don't you hate that shit?
I fucking all that shit drives me crazy.
I mean, look, I'm a crunchy hippie myself, but after I'm also an Italian
from Queens, you know what I mean?
Like there's got to be a balance to this shit. There's a balance.
I'm a hippie too. I lived in Boulder for 12 years.
I love. Oh, you lived in Boulder.
I love Buddhism. I went to the Ropa Institute, you know.
But no, fuck you and your fucking peanuts.
Fuck you and your fucking hummus.
You don't need hummus either. You know, nah, nah, nah.
Yeah, my kids are like, give me fucking grilled cheese,
string cheese, waffles, mac and cheese.
Anything that's got cheese in it, put it in front of my mouth.
Hummus. My kids would throw hummus at my face if I tried to give it to them.
Oh, my God, it's so terrible at stuff.
So here there's no hummus.
The only problem is everybody's got pizza.
Everybody's how should you go to?
As a new. So I got to do my weight watches here.
I got to do jumping jacks. I got to ride a bike
because every day somebody shows up with something.
I haven't even bought entomians yet.
Oh, yeah, you get the banana crunch pie.
No, no, I'm telling you, if I start, I won't stop.
So I can't even do it.
I'm I'm I'm scared of the holidays.
So I go to the gym three times a week.
I ride my bike. I do as much as I can do
because I know this is Fat Manville.
You blow up here.
So I've lost weight since I've been back.
So I'm good.
So the gyms are open there?
Yes. Can you believe that?
No, everything.
I know my friends were partying in Williamsburg last night in the park.
I was like, what is going on?
I am so isolated.
My daughter goes to school four days a week.
Gee. Oh, so she's in.
Yes, the Catholic schools are going to school five days a week
in just a half hour from here.
Wow, we're we're shut all the way down, man.
No shit. At least here I do comedy, like I told you last night.
I know 25 percent, 38 people
at Vinny's Comedy Club, but it works.
My friends went to SNL last night to see Dave Chappelle.
I was like, what do you mean you went to SNL?
Isn't it shut down?
Well, they have like a limited audience, you know, maybe like eight people in there.
Yeah, they're trying to keep a little normal here,
but the sad truth is they're probably going to end up shutting it down.
You think so? I'm flying here Friday.
Yeah, yeah, they're probably going to shut it down.
So get ready.
Why are things are numbers rising again?
Yes. Yeah, they're going up here.
Yes, here they are.
And we have to get tested tomorrow
and then show that to the National Guard
when we when we land in New York to get let in from the airport.
Yes, that's crazy.
How long are you going to be in New York for?
I'm supposed to be there until December 1st.
OK. Yeah, I haven't seen my mom.
I haven't seen my family.
I haven't seen anybody.
And I want to see if I want to move back east.
OK, well, you know, you got to help here.
I got your back if you need something, you know that.
I don't know where the hell I would live.
Oh, I only want to be in Manhattan.
That's what I'm used to.
Well, you know what?
Because you have the kids, you might have to make exceptions.
You might have to go up to Connecticut, maybe New Jersey.
Maybe about the Hampton, Joey.
No, don't say Staten Island.
Yeah, you got to go back to your roots.
Take your kids back to your roots.
I wish I still had my house in Queens.
I would write into that.
Yeah, Queens is a great neighborhood.
You know, I don't know what's going on in your neighborhood now.
That's the thing that's saying different things about New York City.
So I'll maybe go back to Long Island, go out to the island.
It's nice out there.
I only know Queens.
That's it. And then we have a house out at the beach.
Those beach houses are a big deal right now.
How about North Carolina?
Hell, no.
They got a little they got where my friend Duncan lives.
They got a little hippie community.
You mean like Asheville?
I would get down on Asheville.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
We're looking in Nashville.
Nashville, too.
But you're going to move.
You're going to be around the 200 same people you're around now.
When you go to Nashville, it's half of California now.
It is, I know I've heard my wife is from Nashville.
I couldn't walk you two hours out of Nashville.
I could have gone to Tennessee.
It's a town called Bradford.
OK, I don't know that.
No, nobody fucking knows.
That's what they put witness relocation people.
They put them out there.
Oh, my God.
There ain't nothing out there.
It's like even past Jackson.
It's out there.
I like it. I like it in Nashville, though.
I mean, not in the downtown, but I like it like, you know,
a little bit on the outskirts is cool.
Outskirts would be cool for you.
They don't work for you.
What else do you like?
That's about it.
I would do Nashville and I wouldn't think about laying down roots.
I would go for a year or two
unless I'm on a farm area.
Then maybe I'll stay, you know, if I have some land.
But I just want to get back all the way home back to New York.
I will come back to New York.
We'll open up a medical marijuana store in Jersey.
Yes.
And we'll make a million fucking dollars.
That's how you do.
How do you deal with the weed situation there?
There's no weed.
Oh, yes, there's weed.
No, but there's no, but it's not it's not legal, right?
Like here. No, it's not.
But it's legal wherever I'm standing.
So what do they got to bring you a dime bag every fucking day?
No, wherever I'm standing,
weed is legal. Don't worry about nothing.
I got that covered.
This home deliveries, that used to be the jam, the home delivery.
They got home deliveries in New York.
They ain't got no home deliveries where I live here.
I got to do my own stuff here, but I'm all right.
I got the California weed.
I'm still smoking that 30 percent.
I got edibles.
I got teas. I got sprays.
I got mints.
I'm a man of many mysteries.
There's this company that sent us a weed box
that was the coolest fucking box of weed ever.
All the canisters.
What the hell is it called?
Um, it's a it's the the runoff of the water
is from the Mount Shasta.
You know this company? It's a no.
Oh, man, it's going to drive me crazy.
Now I need to look when you drink.
Are you drinking your pot right now?
No, to be honest, yeah, I thought I had waters down here.
I got no waters.
All I had when the refrigerator was a stellar.
Oh, for you.
So I drank a stellar. I don't even drink.
I'm drinking out of respect for you.
So you don't drink a glass of red wine alone.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm drinking drinking water over here.
I've been working all day.
All right, I've been drinking enough water.
That water.
Yeah, I went I went to get a water.
But like I said, I had no waters down here.
So I just took a beer.
I said, how am I going to talk to the princess
without a cocktail in my hand?
I want to find you this this company.
This company is crazy.
They need to send you something.
Oh, what is the fucking name of it?
I mean, they send you like this lighter, this gold lighter
that, you know, like heats up and the thing.
And then three different crazy weeds with the with the grinder.
But but it's all like really beautiful.
Like the way they send that box of weed is.
How good was the weed though?
You know, I don't really smoke it anymore because
but everybody else does around me.
So there were other people here that were smoking the weed.
No edibles, no more nothing.
The edibles.
No, I was always a joint smoker, joints and bonks.
That was my that was my thing.
I like to when I was a kid, I would have permanent cold sores
going in a circle around my face from passing that fucking
boner out.
It was I was a disgrace, a disgrace with the circle around
my face.
I was a really crazy pot smoker.
And then I stopped when I had my kids because I I was getting
I was one of those people that it attacked.
It attacked me.
My best friend attacked me.
You know what I mean?
When you just start getting that paranoid crazy.
But that's not true.
No, yes, it was when I had my kids because when I was doing
Joey, we were smoking tons of weed.
No more nothing.
I miss it.
I love the way it smells.
Anybody who's smoking weed around me.
I'm like.
But yeah, this great company sent me this weed and I can't
think of the damn name of it.
And I felt terrible because they would probably be so happy
that I shouted them out on your show.
Well, where would you have anything there?
Nothing hidden?
Wait a second.
I got this box.
Hold on.
There you go.
I knew she had something.
You know the deal, guys, you always save your stuff.
I'm happy you guys are enjoying this here.
An uncle Joey's joint with my girl, Drea D.
Mateo, she's the real deal.
It comes in this box.
Oh, it's called a golden state.
There you go.
Give him a shout out.
Golden state.
Golden state.
And it comes in this box and it says,
highest quality flour grown from Shasta Snow Melt
for recreation and relaxation.
I have, but the way they send it in this box,
that shit was straight up sexy.
No, it's very nice.
I got a couple boxes sent to me
and they even send like lenses to you.
Look at this, one company.
Who is this?
I can't see without my glasses.
This is source.
And they sent me one of these things,
like a diamond dude.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, Luke, what do you do with that?
So you can look your hairs on your weed?
I can look at my ball heads with this stuff.
I can't fucking see them.
They give me this little thing.
Like, what am I gonna do with this little thing?
But it's cute.
It's part of the box and I kept it as a souvenir.
So I was shot out,
one of my favorite weed company, Source.
So we both get to shoot somebody out.
See what I'm saying?
Look at this, we just did freaking weed commercials
on your show.
I forgot that we're doing a podcast over here.
That's all right.
We're family, man.
I'm happy you made time for me tonight.
I know you're busy.
I know you're a parent.
You got the kids.
I wanna interview you.
Well, when do you wanna do that?
What are you talking about?
No, I wanna do it right now.
I wanna know about your show.
I wanna know about the fucking many saints of Newark.
But I know you're not allowed to talk about any of it.
You talk about what?
I wanna know about the many saints of Newark
and how your experience was.
But I know you're not allowed to talk about the show.
But can you at least tell me how your experience was?
Okay, I'll tell you the truth.
My experience from A to Z was tremendous.
I went on there as a comedian, actor kind.
And the first day I thought I was being cute
and David Chase sent the word to me,
like just stick to the lines.
Oh yeah.
And I finally, and I stuck to the lines.
I did what I was supposed to do.
And the second day I learned so much
because it was just one of those scenes of David Chase
where something happens and then there's a gap of air
and you're supposed to laugh at that gap of air.
And I finally saw how he did that.
That's cool.
Once I saw his magic, I stopped everything I was doing
and I did everything the way he wanted, done.
Interesting.
I love that story.
So I went on there as a comedian,
but I learned from him because you know
how twisted his mind is.
Yeah.
And he's the master of dark comedy without even doing it.
I enjoyed every single minute of it, the 12 hour days.
I did not complain one time.
One time they unwrapped me, I smoked and joined,
I walked to the corner, I got an Uber
and they came back and told me I had to get backwrapped.
And usually I would say something
I didn't even say nothing.
I told, I went back in there and I said
that I was unprofessional for being high
and we'd laugh our asses off at four in the morning, you know.
I love it.
I loved David, I loved his wife.
It was just great for me.
If I don't act again, I'm good because-
That's exactly what I said after the Sopranos.
If I don't act again, I'm good.
I'm Cuban, I'm from Northern New Jersey,
it made my year and that's it.
That's how I feel right now.
If I don't act again and I got to work with Alan King,
so he did like three of the episodes and he was great.
Wait, three of the episodes, there wasn't Alan Taylor?
Alan Taylor, I'm sorry, Alan King.
What was I thinking?
Alan Taylor.
But it's one movie, no?
Or is it a series?
Right, no, he did three episodes with you guys.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But he did three.
I don't know how many he did.
I think he did a couple.
I don't know, I'm just saying three.
But I got to work with him and he was great.
Everybody was great.
Did you work with Ray?
Yes.
That's my boy.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, Ray.
You guys got him right after we got through with him.
Yeah, he was great.
And he wanted to work with David so badly.
I mean, because he loved the Sopranos.
So he was pumped to be doing that.
It was a real pleasure and honor.
I loved John.
I loved everybody on this set.
I was Andro.
I thought everybody was great.
I'm excited to see the finished product.
How was Little Michael?
Little Michael was phenomenal.
Yes.
What a sweetheart of a kid.
I just found the picture of him today in my phone.
We took a picture on the,
and I compared it to the first time we took a picture.
And he grew so much, but he looked great.
He was a sweet kid.
I got to talk to him a lot.
Like I said, it was just a great experience.
I'm so excited to see it.
I can't wait till it comes out.
Me neither.
Me neither.
And I wish, I don't even know what the movie's about.
I barely remember my scenes now.
It's like, I was such in it.
Yeah, I got to stop smoking.
And plus the anxiety from the pandemic,
my memory is gone.
I know.
But I had such a great, it was a great experience.
And you know I got hired to do the Sopranos, right?
I got hired and fired, yeah.
To play big pussy?
His brother.
No.
Memory in the auto body shot?
Were you on it?
No, I didn't shoot it.
I got fired before I could do it.
Why were you, why?
Because Georgine said that I told somebody I was shooting it.
And it was against the Privacy Act of 1964 or something.
Oh my God, they were that fucking precious about even just
showing up to play a small part.
Yeah.
Well, when they called me, they said,
they said they think it was gonna be like two episodes.
They didn't really know.
They were trying to look for the right person or whatever.
I was shooting Spider-Man 2.
And I went home and had to put the audition on tape.
It was like one of those auditions.
I had to put on tape and LA and I sent it.
But I had read for the first, I think the second season.
She called, she saw me doing comedy in New York.
And she made me come in to read for Gigi.
Bacala.
Yeah, I mean, I read for everybody.
I went to productions a couple of times in the beginning.
Yeah.
I did not know.
Yeah, my hands were shaking at the beginning
when I went, I had to walk over that bridge.
It was hot out.
I had my little mafia suit on.
I had to walk over to Brooklyn Bridge.
It was like 90 degrees out with humidity.
I'm like, I could do this.
I walked over the bridge.
So yeah, my experience.
And then, you know, you look at your experiences
when people say no to you and acting or anything else.
And I remember one day I was getting ready in the morning
to shoot the prequel, the many saints.
And I was like, how lucky I was that I got fired.
And now I'm shooting this.
It's meant to be.
It's meant to be.
So you see how life works as an actor.
Yes. Sometimes a no is better than a yes
because you got it later on, you know?
Totally.
That's a really good stroke of luck with that one.
They never even had a,
Big Pussy never had a brother on the show.
Did he end up having a character?
He did?
Who was playing his character?
Some guy came in for a day
and he had a scene with Bill Liotato.
Oh, so later on after he died?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was later on after he died.
I see, I see.
Wow.
That's awesome.
I'm so happy you're on it.
Did you have a lot of, are you in it a lot?
You can't say.
You can't say.
I love it.
You got, you had a son in NDA.
Yeah. And I had, I just, you know, the whole thing.
I just decided that I wanted to do this.
Everything I did draft, there was always a glitch.
When I did Spider-Man 2, I busted,
what's his name?
Balls.
I mean, he loved me to death,
but like I would smoke pot in the green room.
It was a Sam Raimi, who was it?
Sam Raimi, Sam Raimi.
So I would come in the morning
and Sam would tell me I was too big for the train.
He's like, Joey, you're too big to be on the train.
Go to your room.
So I would go to my room and I would smoke pot.
And then I would go to Sam and say, Sam,
I got to talk to you.
And he'd go, what?
I go, somebody's smoking pot in my trailer.
You better not get off because you don't have a Christian.
I would bring these balls every day.
You know, on the longest shot, I acted like an animal.
You know, I was acting like an animal.
So everything I did, I never really respected it
like an actor.
The many saints in Newark was the first time I went in there.
And I said, if I do this, I'm doing this 150%.
I'm going to be a gentleman.
I'm going to act right.
I'm not going to complain about the hours.
I'm not going to say anything.
I'm just going to fucking do it.
And that's exactly what I did.
Yeah, working with David Chase will inspire that
because he is, he's the Godfather, man.
It's like I said, if I don't work again,
I could give a French this fuck.
Yeah, I thought that way.
Yeah, you know, I got to work with him.
I got to work with Raimi, who cracked me up.
I just bumped into him about a year ago, had a pitch,
and we hugged each other, and he told me,
he goes, I heard you talking about me on all those podcasts.
So, you know, it was great working with Adam.
It was great working, you know, I had a great,
listen, I'm an ex-con that got in trouble.
Yeah, then I got into comedy.
So, for me,
I love these stories.
This is like a cherry on the Sunday, you know?
So what happened with the last podcast?
You dissolved that one, right?
It was eight years, and I felt that we had done our run
with it, and it was time to move on.
You know, you want to walk out of a room like the Sopranos.
I didn't want to walk out of a room 15 years out
with no ratings, do you know what I'm saying?
Uh-huh.
I'd done a podcast two years before that,
and now I've done a podcast for eight years.
My co-host was great.
I loved him to death,
but it was just time to do something different, you know?
Oh, so you had a co-host, you weren't alone.
Yes, no, no, no, he started with me also.
But the problem was that I couldn't move him here
for two days a week.
Right, right, right.
You know, I was taking too much of his life
for two days a week.
He's 32 years old.
He doesn't have a family, you know?
And he was basically in LA to work with me.
You know, he was doing a little stand-up and stuff,
but that was it.
He's got a family.
I didn't want to leave him in LA by himself,
but it didn't justify bringing him down here
and moving him all the way down here for two days a week.
So how do you like doing it by yourself?
It's been great.
Mike is great.
I love doing it, you know.
It's just getting the chops and being emotionally prepared.
And I gotta tell you something.
Lately, I don't feel emotionally prepared.
You know, I'm happy.
Everything's great,
but I think my mind is in mourning
because I lost stand-up.
And especially after we lost, you know,
I was at the comedy store three nights a week.
Sold out with Bill Burr, Joe Rogan,
you know, Holly Wong, Whitney Cummings,
Theo Vaughn, Mazya Brownie.
I'm down there with all these stars.
Oh, awesome.
Ron White, and then all of a sudden,
it gets pulled from us.
You know, yes.
The financial ramifications is one thing.
That's, I understand that.
And I took that like a man.
I don't think my mind and my heart could take,
you know, not go into the store anymore.
Yeah.
You know, not, not, yeah.
I don't miss LA, but my soul misses something.
So I'm in Jersey.
I'm around good people.
My daughter's happy.
My wife is happy.
I think by doing stand up once a week and staying sharp
in time, I'll fall in love with it again, little by little.
Like I didn't do it Wednesday night, and I really missed it.
I was doing it every Wednesday,
and I didn't do it one Wednesday and I really missed it.
That's why I went back down there last night.
Did they open any of the spots in New York?
No, everything's closed in New York.
They are still closed.
There's a couple of spots that are doing illegal shows,
you know, they're trying.
I understand it, but I don't want to go to them
because I don't want to get hit in the head
by a fucking pipe.
I'm not in the mood right now to get hit in the fucking head.
So when New York gets dark,
that's when all the fucking crazies come out.
I know.
And I'm not in the mood for hand-to-hand combat.
They punched that poor Rick Moranis in the head.
That dude never did nothing to nobody,
that poor little guy.
He's like, I have to retouch.
Wait, what?
No, no, no, no.
What happened?
Rick Moranis got mid-slapped up at the upper west side.
My old neighborhood, about three weeks ago,
four weeks ago, something else.
Yeah, nah, nah.
It's all crazy in New York.
People come up to you and knock you in the head
for no fucking reason that I like.
Oh, I love it.
I love it.
I just, I don't need that right now.
I need that.
I need to get hit in the fucking head
with a crow walking down the street in New York.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
Wait, they'll fuck up.
No, you don't.
Oh, my God.
So here I am 23 years later.
That's it.
And now I'm just a dad that does a podcast.
Do you have more kids?
No, that's it.
This is your baby.
This is it.
This is my baby.
This is my body guard.
What a gift, man.
What a gift.
Yeah, I got a second chance, man.
That's beautiful.
I love it.
I love that.
You have a girl.
You have a girl.
So why push the, you understand my,
I got in my position.
I could have pushed the envelope.
Why push the envelope?
I got my wife, we've been together 20 years.
I got the baby.
She's seven, she's gonna be eight in January.
We live in Jersey, we're secluded, we're nice.
I got Dia.
I got a lot of trees around my house.
Good God, Dia.
I got Italian food down the corner.
I got Chinese food and I got my gym.
I got everything I need.
That's all you need.
What about some Cuban food?
You don't need a nice many anoche?
You know what, man?
It's been, I'm gonna be here three months pretty soon
and I haven't had Cuban food yet.
My wife isn't Cuban, but she made a broken point.
No, my wife is Irish.
She make you bangers, make you some bangers and mash.
Yeah, oh no, no, she cooked some wicked stuff for me.
You know me, I like that.
I'm Cuban, but I like white food.
I like meatloaf, I like mashed potatoes,
but now I'm in Jersey.
I got my motherfucking chicken cutlets.
So I gotta be careful with those.
I got my chicken cutlets.
The best, we make them here all day long.
We always have them in the fridge.
My wife makes them, but the best thing about Jersey
is they sell them at Shop Right.
Oh, I know.
Oh, tremendous.
They sell them at Shop Right,
they sell them at the Italian market.
Oh yeah.
It's tremendous.
So we always got chicken cutlets.
Yep, I love me some chicken cutlets.
We make them real skinny.
And we, yeah, we let them sit in the eggs
and the Parmesan cheese for a little while
before we bread them.
They're delicious.
Ooh, with some mashed potatoes
and some cream corn with jalapenos in it.
Come on.
Ooh.
Talking.
At a night.
You're gonna be 800 pounds by the time
you finish that meal three times a week.
And a nice glass of club soda
with a little cranberry juice in it.
Forget about it.
Oh, I like a nice splash of cranberry.
And then after that, you sit down,
you take your shoes off
and you smoke a fucking number of death.
And you stare at the wall for an hour.
And think about your life.
And then you eat it all over again.
And then about two in the morning,
you wake up and you tell your wife,
don't put them in the refrigerator.
Put them in an aluminum foil and save them on the stove.
Like a fucking animal.
I don't know how I do it.
At two in the morning,
I sleep, walk to the fucking kitchen.
And I just devour two fucking chicken cutlets
with a glass of water.
We got the water with the refrigerator, with the ice cubes.
Nice.
I drink the water and I go right back to bed.
I wake up in the morning on a piece of chicken
and my sleep at the infirmary bed.
It's hysterical.
You wear the thing.
Oh yeah, you gotta.
You gotta wear the whole thing, right?
Not the whole thing.
I'm like, I'm looking like a martian at night.
I got like a little mask.
You couldn't wear it.
No, a lot of people can't wear it.
I wear it because I know it's gonna save my life.
Yeah, it's true.
You need to get that oxygen, man,
when you're sleeping.
Get all that oxygen in there.
No, I fall asleep on the couch watching TV.
Now I dropped 118 pounds instead.
Did you really?
So, yeah, I was 418.
What?
Yeah, I was 400 when I shot them.
Yeah, now I'm down to like 3301, 298.
Oh, you're tall?
295, nah, 511, 510.
That's pretty tall.
That's not tall.
Oh.
I'm a stumpy Italian, man.
That's all I look like.
My fucking X is five foot six, so you're tall.
Yeah.
I mean, I could be anything else.
But your X is the man, dog.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, he made some beautiful babies, that's for sure.
Good, I'm happy that he does that.
He can make good music, too.
Yes, yeah, he's awesome.
He's awesome.
He makes good music.
He does.
Are you dating now, correct?
Yeah, I just go through different instruments
in the band, basically.
I've just been working my way through the different parts.
Like, now I'm in the percussion department.
So I'm dating a drummer right now.
My last boyfriend was the bass player.
Right, I thought-
Don't worry, they're not a whole one band.
Okay, I thought you were dating the bass player
from Coverdale's band, right?
White Snake.
I was, I was, not anymore.
Now, I'm dear friends with the old bass player
from White Snake.
Who?
Rudy, Rudy Sarge.
Oh, I know Rudy.
I've met Rudy a million times with my X.
He's a doll.
Rudy's a doll.
And his brother, too.
There's two, there's two Sarge's O's.
Yes.
Right?
Rudy's a doll.
Yeah, he's, they're all very sweet.
You should go on his podcast when you get a minute.
I think my X just went on his podcast.
I saw a thing.
But yeah, now I'm dating a,
I got a real young boyfriend now who's,
now I'm, you know, I've never dated a drummer.
So, you know, it's a drummer at this time.
Okay.
Hey, whatever, whatever makes you happy, man.
I just want you to be happy.
I'll be done with musicians after this stint.
I'll be done with that.
We'll be at nice, the nice carpenter next.
Nice.
Yeah, nice carpenter.
You can build me a house.
Something.
You need something.
An ark or something.
An ark.
I'm gonna go put my,
I'm gonna go put my,
I'm gonna go put my,
I'm gonna go put my daughter to sleep.
I love you, Dre.
I love you for taking the time to do that.
I love that you're going to put your baby to sleep.
That's nice.
I gotta go wish her a good night
cause tomorrow is school.
At 8 30, she gets on the bus.
So I'll get up in the morning and see her.
But I appreciate you.
I'm a fan and now we're friends.
Yes.
So you have my number.
If you're in New York and you need anything,
please reach out.
And read to your daughter,
Skippy John-Jones with your best Cuban accent.
I do it with a Mexican accent,
but read that book to her.
The kids love it.
Skippy John-Jones.
Let me write it down.
I'll write it down so I can tell.
Seriously is the best.
Skippy John-Jones?
Skippy John-Jones, yeah.
Skippy, Skippy John-Jones.
Yeah.
It's about a cat who thinks he's a Chihuahua.
It's freaking amazing.
You know what?
A cat that thinks he's Puerto Rican, so.
Oh, well, this is perfect.
You'll like it.
I love you, Dre.
Thank you for coming on.
Love you too, Joey.
Thank you for having me.
Stay in touch.
Thank you.
All right, muah.
Bye.
Muah.
Yo, I hope you enjoyed, Dre.
Dear Mateo, I like it at the end now.
She goes, fuck it.
Let's interview you, motherfucker.
That's what I call a guest right there.
I hope you enjoyed it.
She was fucking great, man.
And I'm excited about the Soprano movie.
They did some showings this week.
I got a couple people who hit me up.
Some people really enjoyed it.
Some people had a complaint.
You know, you know how it is.
But I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed my interview with Dre.
I can't wait til March 12th when the Many Saints comes out.
I have a lot of personal reasons.
You know, just the fact that I worked with David Chase,
how I said in the interview, means the world to me.
It kicked me up a level.
Whether I fucking knew it or not.
As a comic, as a stand-up, and as a human being,
and as an actor, it's fucking weird what it did to me.
I'm like the who in 76.
We won't get fooled again, you know what I'm saying?
I'm only working with the best from now on.
But hey, I'm happy you enjoyed.
I hope you enjoyed this week's episode.
It's fucking Monday.
We got a whole new week coming up.
Wednesday, I'm at Uncle Vinnie's.
Fucking Thursday night.
I got to do Ryan Sickler's podcast,
so we'll do another event down there.
I got to do ADR for the Sopranos.
I got a bunch of shit.
And do not forget, November 25th starts my stint
on Ozzy's Boneyard from the 25th,
I think, til November 30th every day.
I will post up the times.
I am very proud to be on Ozzy's Boneyard.
You guys know I grew up being an Ozzy Osbourne fan.
And when I got the call, this made my fucking day.
Patreon, you know, I love you motherfuckers.
We're moving straight along.
This podcast has nothing to do with Patreon.
Patreon, you guys get what you guys get.
Instead of giving you two fucking movies,
album of the weeks, we've been giving you four.
We don't give a fuck.
We had a cutback on the crowd storm, whatever the crowd,
because we couldn't have all 14,000 people on that.
So we're coming up with a replacement.
You guys know I always email you.
I always answer back your requests.
And I'm always posting up something.
So always having a great time over there on Patreon.
It's a little bit more personal.
None of the fucking political bullshit
you see on all the other platforms.
And we're trying to get your merch under your fucking tree
by December 25th.
Who's better than your uncle Joey?
I can't buy you, I accept this.
You guys think I'm here smoking dope or whatever, no.
I'm here to let you know you're gonna be fine.
We're gonna get through this.
And in time, this will be laughing
about this fucking pandemic
and everything else that happened in your life.
This week is my 33rd anniversary of me kidnapping Kent Vella.
That's coming up on Wednesday.
I'm sure we'll talk about it.
Maybe do a little review on it or whatever.
You guys know the story.
But I've been thinking a lot about it
because the other night, Stephen Cigar
was on above the law.
And I thought I had seen that movie the night before.
I turned myself in along with Lethal Weapon.
But when the movie starts, it says whatever of 88.
So I'm a little fucking confused.
So I gotta do some research on the dates and whatnot
because I'm a little fucked up.
Like I said, I lost a half ounce of weed.
Uncle Joey never loses his fucking weed.
I know where every fucking stem is, seed, whatever.
I'm accountable for everything.
So when I'm losing weed, you know,
my memory is fucking going.
But hey, I'm getting older.
I'm getting wiser and I'm getting fucking better
and stronger here.
And I'm happy I made the move.
I'm happy everybody's healthy and happy.
And I'm happy you guys can watch me on a Monday morning.
Stay black, have a great week.
The album of the week is a great show I do on Patreon.
If you're not on there, it's 10 bucks for the fucking month.
What do you give a fuck?
It's two Starbucks fucking coffee.
You don't need to be on that fucking line
waiting like the rest of those sheep.
I saw a line in front of Starbucks coffee yesterday
off of Rooting Out.
I almost pulled over and called them all cocksuckers.
And two doors down there's a Dunkin' Donut
selling that fucking Brazilian bold ISIS coffee
and they had two people at the fucking door.
You make the fucking call.
I wanna thank everybody that watched this week
and his for a word from my sponsors.
Thank you.

Tip top motherfucking McGoo bitch.
