Starting point is 00:06:28 The 8th of march was a great weekend. I'm happy you're here the fights were great I mean it was fucking I couldn't ask for a better weekend my knees feeling a lot better I uh Last week was weird because I worked so hard over the weekend in the gym and then pt on monday and wednesday and Podcasts and all this shit fucking thursday and friday. I mean thursday I worked out but friday I was fucking dead the week caught up with me and then sadly I didn't do much Sunday I didn't do much I watched the honeymooners with the girls and fucking But the good news is i'm off the pain pills a week now. It's official. We made it through with no addictions
Starting point is 00:07:08 I gave the pills to my wife just in case to hold there's tons of them left Uh, I'm happy to get over that the knees till today's a two-year anniversary of the fucking surgery. So We made it over the fucking hump. My leg hasn't fallen off every day. I'm walking I think my knees only just detached. I'm gonna look down and see my fucking leg from the knee down Just sitting there. I swear to god. I get the weirdest fucking things But uh, I'm all right. We made it. I'm happy. I did it and we're here for another fun-filled week On the fucking podcast. I went back to zoom today. I had such a great time last week on zoom Seeing dug on zoom and I see him so that you guys enjoyed it. Listen
Starting point is 00:07:51 I never liked the one man and and I hope this doesn't go wrong with anybody what I'm saying this I love bill burr. I'm uh, I'm a big fan of bill burrs always have been always will be I always start doing though. I always Thought doing the one man thing was overwhelming Me being by myself But I had to work through it during the covet. If not, I would just be a fucking dead mute So I figured that's the best way to do it and I would do it with zoom I think with zoom at times the love gets lost like if you're not
Starting point is 00:08:25 If you don't have a stable relationship with that person, you can't see it through zoom But I've been wrong uh before uh, I really enjoyed the stanhope podcast Personally as a as a human being I enjoyed it. I enjoyed watching it the feel of it I guess it's what it's going to be from now on for a while until We could have guests in here, you know, I live an hour from the city So not a lot of people are going to be voluntarily raising their fucking hand to come down here So my plan was always to get an office up north and have guests that was always the plan But with the covet and shit like that
Starting point is 00:09:04 It's it's too rough. I saw it on people's faces in LA. It's rough to you know, thank god We had the door and thank god It was face to the outside the office wasn't a building, you know, that made it a lot easier To get guests but during this now it's it's hard to inflict It's hard to can you imagine if you bring a guest in and He gets sick and he brings it home and gets his family sick Couple people got sick from doing podcasts They got together like big bunches and they got sick from podcasts and that's why I'm against it
Starting point is 00:09:36 but once Fucking I don't I don't I don't I don't want you guys to think I'm doing the podcast solo Because I I think I'm not fucking interesting. I'm the man's most entry the world's most interesting man No, no, no, it's not based on ego or anything That's why whenever I saw somebody doing an hour podcast or two by themselves I'm like fuck it takes a lot to think that people want to hear you For fucking two hours, but there's no stand-up comedy now. So it's like fucking stealing It's like just doing two hours of stand-up comedy here
Starting point is 00:10:08 But at the end of the week it's three months. It just seemed my fucking ugly face every fucking monday and wednesday So you gotta get somebody else in here So today went over to zoom and we had a nice intimate chat with our brother, uh dean delray. We talked about I saw that he uh tweeted the rhino records on saturday about black sabbath Rhino records is having like a a march madness like a march heavy metal madness month or something like that It's called so they sent me some great albums. They sent me They were the ones that sent me volume four and they sent me Heaven and hell
Starting point is 00:10:45 and The mob rules by black sabbath all james do albums that they haven't released him humanizer yet, but They did release uh mob rules a re-release. So they sent them to the house. So when I saw that dean Retweeted I called them right up and I go, you know, I gotta believe this rhino sent me those two and you know, I listened to Heaven and hell and I listened to the mob rules both nights this week I like I I was telling dean during the podcast you guys will hear that my wife goes to bed early some nights She's fucking tired. My wife was over here cleaning the house taking care of me and taking care of my fucking daughter
Starting point is 00:11:22 She's tired. So instead of just sitting there and watching tv During this pandemic. I figured out that I would just bring a notebook at night come back I sit back here just like I'm doing a podcast. I put my feet up and I put an album on I listened to heaven and hell and it's just It was just tremendous and then the mob rules I forgot that dean had always said to me that his favorite song was the sign of the southern cross I listened to that and I was like, Jesus fucking christ I forgot how great those albums were and this is all part of the the comedy catch-up that you know
Starting point is 00:11:56 You know, like I was telling dean you guys will see I I put so much of myself Into comedy that I lost Touch with music and then over the years with the podcast Once I got reconnected with music that's what cleared my mind a little bit and that's what got me back here So anyway, instead of me talking any more shit Uh, I want to present dean del riz to you. All right. That's it. That's that. I hope you fucking enjoy it I'll be back afterward to check in with you and read you on the way out. Enjoy it Welcome my friend. How are you dean del rizzi?
Starting point is 00:12:30 I'm good. How about you? I'm good to have you on uncle joey's joint. I miss you to death, you know It's good to see you. Listen. I fucking hate zooming, but if it means I get to see you Then so be it you could just do so much talking on the phone. You know what I'm saying? Oh, it's great. You look great, man I gotta tell you your skin looks great and you you look fantastic, man but brother it's been a rehaul of my life since I got back here like it's just been a A complete haul from the reefer like I'm cut down on reefer smoke 50% I only eat the edibles at night to go to sleep now
Starting point is 00:13:08 Uh, the surgery went well, you know, as we discussed on the phone I got off the pain pills with no fucking drama that that's big, you know I've been lifting I've been working out and I just Just getting stronger every day brother That's great, man. That's great. I know my neck's my neck's all good You look great too, man. It's good to see that you look fucking great non-stop fuck I do five miles a day and then some yoga and and uh youtube
Starting point is 00:13:42 Like uh exercises it's my gym now youtube Really? Yeah, I go to the gym, you know the pt keeps me busy. It's an hour and a half Monday to Wednesday and Friday and then I go to the gym opposite that I try to go Two or three days, but this week it hit me a little hard this week like by Thursday I didn't make pt on Friday because I was fucking wiped the fuck out Last week for some reason after I got off the pain meds I got off the pain meds. I think on sunday
Starting point is 00:14:17 And I was having headaches But by Thursday like from working out all weekend and the two pts And lifting and Tuesday and Thursday. I think Friday. I just broke down, man Like I was supposed to go see sam triply friday night I had plans with my fucking wife already And sadly, you know, I had uh some patreon stuff to do And I just wasn't I just couldn't get myself to get out of the house that night I took it, you know, I shout I go, you know, I go out. I take my rides
Starting point is 00:14:53 I got my friends in the neighborhood, but as far as going out and You know, I just don't have the fucking uh, whatever yet. I'm not emotionally there, you know Yeah, yeah, I did I did a show last night felt good. I got two tonight and uh It feels good to get on stage. It feels like when I first started, you know, I get a little butterflies I'm trying to remember the material the new stuff and it it is kind of a cool way to do comedy because when you do it As much as we did it and then you don't do it You feel like you got the feeling back again the feels of like what it's like like, oh, I'm on stage
Starting point is 00:15:33 You know, that's such a weird thing You know, when I go down there on wednesday nights once I hit the stage I'm having a good time. I'm not lying to you when I'm telling you I am having a good time But just the thought process of it And getting dressed and going down there. That's the hard thing like during the week. I'll ask myself on a tuesday night Joey get up Go out take a ride And it's like I can't even do that
Starting point is 00:16:03 Like I've become such a family guy at the house. You know, I have two friends I grew up with In north bergen that live close by I mean two of them. It's it's it's it's amazing So they carry the blunt of my load. I'm either at one guy's house Or the other guy's house. I go over there for an hour every night When I was injured they came here every night We smoke a bowl outside We watch some tv, you know, we're all in our fifties
Starting point is 00:16:33 Those two guys are two years older than me. So But I hung out with them at concerts and shit The one guy went to concerts with a lot He's the one that gave me the a-track with the song mays the same on it and uh And the almond brother's live at the film war So now 30 years later. We've reconnected. I see him a lot, you know, so I'm uh writing on the book. We got the proposal down the three chapters Wow myself myself in erica. Yeah, we got the three chapters down
Starting point is 00:17:07 And you know it look inside you've been like in a twilight zone place like I'm not making any progress. I say to myself every week But when I really look at it on sundays, I am making progress You know, we're doing a podcast or writing a book So what I'm not writing jokes. That's okay. I've been writing jokes for the last 30 fucking years. You know, that's okay I've learned to accept this new role as suburban dad like a suburban fucking dad, you know So it's kind of fun, but I do miss you guys, you know, that's just The way life is I'm missing you guys. I mean it's been a year
Starting point is 00:17:48 since I've been at the store And that's like a bittersweet in a way like one part of me It makes me happy, but the other part of me makes me really sad that My job of 22 years Shut down, you know, it's gonna open up now, you know, it'll be open by the end of the month Hopefully I think so I think the game is over. I think whatever was going on now
Starting point is 00:18:14 People have had enough. I think americans have had enough And americans are going wait a second. I got a 94 survival rate. I'm going through all this You know, I knew people who wouldn't leave their room. Never mind the house during the podcast during the Pandemic now they're out. They're out. They finally came to the conclusion that Fuck it. I'd rather died and be in a bedroom And and you know, a lot of people going through mental health issues right now a lot of people are frustrated Unemployment checks aren't getting there You know, it's just that the world is in a weird place, but we're still making strides
Starting point is 00:18:53 You're doing your patreon. You've had the best Six months. I've had I I've seen I mean, I want to congratulate you on acdc and you just had some fucking last week You had the guy fucking gary newman here in my god Yeah, I mean, you know, it just shows you that Guys like us we're a little older and we adapted bill burr adapted every this teaches people how to adapt and We just didn't shut down. We kept going. I shut down for one month because I was moving
Starting point is 00:19:27 I shut down in august mid mid august. We did all the podcasts But I shut down september, you know and just to evaluate myself And thank god I kept in touch with mike and fanny and they kept pushing me that let's go you got to do this, you know and I'm happy I did it because If I would have waited till now, I would have been still fucked. I would have been more fucked up Do you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, because you know, it's funny how how loyal Fans can be but if you're shut down for six months, man out of sight out of mind there, they've moved on It's really wild. You know for me. I don't consider them fans. I can consider them family, you know, exactly
Starting point is 00:20:10 and You know, I put it together in my head. It took me 10 long years to understand what I was doing with this podcast What I was saying on here. I was burying my soul, you know and and It's uh I think people need this right now. I think people want to know that Even the people they think that our Bulletproof are not bulletproof. We believe when we get cut, you know, I've said it for years. We all put our pants on one leg at a time So with the joey's joint, I took in a different direction. Obviously. There's no pot smoking anymore
Starting point is 00:20:48 You know, I only smoke for the music section of the podcast Yeah, um, I want to just you know, I can't I'm in the house with my daughter. I gotta respect her and What's going on? That's why my pot smoke consumption has gone down. I mean, I've cut it in half Wow, it's amazing the edibles I haven't done an edible in the daytime. I don't know how long it's been You could probably buy a second house with the cutback that you did It's crazy how
Starting point is 00:21:20 I uh My appetite's coming back finally for a long time. I lost my appetite after the surgery Fuck it last night. I think I got I think I took the I took the edible to go. I was tired So I said, let me make my fucking little tea Let me put my sleeping edible in there. Oh my god I laid down and the fucking hunger woke me up. I had a fucking Go eat some cheese enchiladas my wife made yesterday or the day before I just put them down. So I'm fucking happy that
Starting point is 00:21:51 You know I got my appetite back I wasn't eating that night no more Like that's not That stopped like in august me eating at night and it's amazing how much my life changed and I knew I knew in april that a lot of lives people were going to change careers People going to look at their lives and go fuck this. I've been doing it wrong all along For me, I hadn't done anything wrong. You know the reefer and stuff
Starting point is 00:22:19 Obviously, you know when you're doing two thousand milligrams a fucking day Woo, you're gonna look like uh a fucking bomb. Hey, you know, even though I was taking care of myself, but I think what got lifted off me was I got off the conveyor belt Yeah, I got hamster I got off the ferris wheel and that it took a long time to get adjusted to that because I'm a street guy like you. We're hustlers. We don't stop. We're like sharks You know, and uh, you were in a band for 30 years and you became a comic I've been a comic for 30 years
Starting point is 00:22:53 Mike just got me a guitar I'm gonna get my first lesson on monday Today today, I get my first lesson. What am I talking about today? I get my first lesson This that's so great Yes I tried the youtube thing. I picked up a few things, but I just want to catch the basics from this guy And then I got all of you guys to help me. I got guys on patreon sending me tapes Mike's gonna help me a little bit. So I guess I'm gonna grow up to be the next fucking mark marin and play the guitar and uh
Starting point is 00:23:24 Hopefully in a couple years, you'll do a AC dc reunion again when we're in our 60s and we could fucking bang it out Yeah, and be like and be like the stones junior and shit Joey up there Malcolm Malcolm Diaz Malcolm Diaz. Fuck yeah It's funny. I learned guitar um On a video called learn guitar on the vcr
Starting point is 00:23:50 And I bought it on yeah, I bought it on late night tv. Have you ever wanted to learn guitar? Now it's easier than ever with learn guitar on the vcr So I got the tape and then I bought one of those shitty um Small TVs with the built-in vcr and I rented out a small little studio In downtown san francisco and I went there 10 hours a day like I did comedy And I popped that tape in and I just would learn 10 hours a day And by the end of the year I wrote a record and had a record deal. It was crazy
Starting point is 00:24:25 No, shit. Yeah, I mean I put that record out man and tore it all over the place No, shit. That's how you got into all this That's well I played music forever as a singer and I could play a little bit of guitar But I was like I need to learn the guitar inside and out so I could write my own songs because I kept hearing songs in my head And I was only writing lyrics and melody, but I needed to write Music also so I said I'm taking a year off and I'm going to do this and uh Shit man. It was one of the best things I ever did
Starting point is 00:25:00 Besides doing comedy, you know, I battled it the same way as doing comedy. I just dug deep into it That's what you have to do, you know when you fall in love with something So the first week I just looked at youtube and picked up some pointers And at night I just go back in the office And now this week I had the courage to put an album on And just like instead of lip syncing guitar syncing over it, you know, like just fucking around just Listen, man. It keeps me. Uh, it keeps my mind fresh I started reading again
Starting point is 00:25:33 I got to the point dean where I was trying to read like book like the howford book jimmy florentine gave me the howford book Do you know I read that whole book in like four days? I can't tell you what I read Oh, isn't that weird out in the same way that happened to me with two fucking books dean not one two And I was so furious I go I can't even even like people don't understand like people call me or contact me to do things Like I had an audition last week 11 pages. Good fucking luck
Starting point is 00:26:05 Good fucking luck. Good luck. I'm not gonna I put it was two scenes. I put one scene up I'm like, I'm not gonna remember two fucking. There's no way there was a I mean it was like 18 little fucking things you can't read on tape with your glasses on you look like a fucking jerk off So you got to know this shit off book. I don't I couldn't get it off book There's no fucking way. So I said fuck it. I'm gonna start reading Books I've already read So I started with the man who led zeppelin And now I'm back to the corporation
Starting point is 00:26:37 books that I've already read And just to remind me of what I read and it's been great. That's helped me a lot also just reading Comedy writing is fucking dead in my world dean I try to write a joke, you know, it's fucking I was funny because the other night I was by myself in the back room and I had pink floyd I just put on pink floyd The wish you were here And I was playing wish you were here
Starting point is 00:27:02 I was playing on the on the electric guitar And it sounded more like wish you weren't here like I was laughing about myself I'm like, that's the type of jokes. I'm writing like jokes that goof on me, you know, I'm saying like Jesus Christ, if anybody heard this they wish they wouldn't be here So it's like little things like that like little jokes like that. Yeah, but like a bit like bill burr does I can't do that shit anymore. Like I can't even I look at bits and I'm like, I'm happy I get on stage once a week I'm happy I do it to give the girls a breather
Starting point is 00:27:36 And to get me out, you know, because I don't want to be at a restaurant or at a bar hanging out, you know, yeah So I haven't even been to my hometown and maybe Since the new year it's March 8th. I haven't been To north bergen since valentine's day and before that It was like two weeks before the surgery Wow, that's a 55 minute drive from me. I don't even do that So if I'm not even going to see my friends up there It's like I'm down here. I'm surrounded by trees and deer
Starting point is 00:28:10 I got everything I need down here fucking great pizza I got a soundstage if I got to tape the uh The commercials for rogan or for spotify. I could walk to that fucking studio. That's great So I've I've just the last six months. It's just getting adjusted. I can't believe it's been six months since I last saw you Go I can't believe it. I remember you pulled up You said hey you home. I said, yeah, I'm home and you pulled up and you got out of the car And I was like, uh-oh this guy's got cancer or something like you never do that, you know, like I need to talk to you Hey came over you I'm done. I'm uh moving to jersey
Starting point is 00:28:51 And I was like, whoa, I couldn't believe it. You know, I was like, oh, I knew it was something real because you don't go Hey, you home. I'm coming over right now Yeah, just you're like one of the first persons I really told you know, like I always knew I was leaving uh When I came home to shoot the sopranos was when I really realized I belonged back here. It was just a matter. It was just going to be a matter of time, you know, right? uh
Starting point is 00:29:19 I wish I could tell you the pandemic made me move. I was going to move anyway. The pandemic just pushed us, you know pushed it a little quicker You know, I think the pandemic has done some good stuff. Also. Yes. It makes us all realize Oh, wait a minute Wait a minute. Well, there's more to life than just fucking doing one thing, you know We're only here once and if if we would have died from the pandemic We would have been like, well, man, I never you know, like you I didn't learn guitar or something and
Starting point is 00:29:52 I would have been okay if I died from the pandemic because I started comedy You know, I was like, well, I started something new and I wasn't just working a dead-end goddamn job You know what I mean? So I've been like, I'm fine like when I got ran over on the motorcycle. No regrets So I think a lot of people wake up like that, you know, like, oh shit Right, I want to do something. Do you remember I told you I'm like dean I can't believe you ride a motorcycle. You're gonna get hit one day and like a week later You got fucking clocked. I was like, I felt so bad. I feel so fucking bad
Starting point is 00:30:27 Because I like listen, I was nervous to ride a bicycle in LA. Yeah. Yeah, you have to assume that that fucking stupid You know, yeah with the bike lane I would go for my bike rides at 7 30 in the morning During the pandemic when there was nobody And I got almost got hit by a car 10 fucking times Yeah, just going just going like 30 yards There was a 30 yard stretch that I had a pedal on the street And I would always get hit all the fucking times because that's where the 170 people got off the 170 there
Starting point is 00:30:59 Oh By the side So it was like Jesus christ. I'm gonna get killed on this fucking thing And I told I won two people about bicycles and both of them got into an accident Like fucking two weeks later. There was a cuban girl at the Y That was from Miami and me and my wife before mercy was ever born We used to go on date nights When I first moved to north hollywood
Starting point is 00:31:22 We had that no-hold diner, which is fucking garbage But at the time that's the best you got to eat. So we would go to the Y Do yoga from 5 30 to 6 30 Run to that fucking place the no-hold diner we'd eat and then we'd shoot up to the house and watch Whatever sons of anarchy And one day I saw her getting on a bike with a helmet on on a Tuesday night. It's 6 30. I go You ride a bike to Sherman oaks and she's like, yeah It's just like three miles. I'll be home in 15 minutes. I go. That's not the point
Starting point is 00:31:58 You're riding your bike outside in the dark. I'm scared to ride my bike in the daytime This was way before I had my bike like I said this is before mercy was born Right about two weeks late. I see the girl in yoga And she's got a cast on and she goes like hey, just came by to tell you you're a psychic I was riding my bike and the guy opened this door and didn't see me. She had to get a tooth front teeth replaced Fucking plastic surgery on oh above her eye She flew off the fucking over the handlebars and shit, you know It's crazy riding your bike in LA. That's just a fucking night marriage
Starting point is 00:32:33 I was seen I was fucking 35 years on that bike and I was just uh I was addicted to it man. I just there was it's a rush man. I've just split Getting into the next spot like holy shit. Okay. I'm gonna do the store Now I'm gonna boogie up to bray improv and then I'm gonna boogie over to the Irvine improv man I'm through in three spots. Just no I was funny. I did San Diego last week. I headlined out there. It was great four shows sold out man And I also I thought about was I was driving home saturday night after the mate show And I was like I used to ride a motorcycle back from la joya comedy store
Starting point is 00:33:17 In the cold and fog and dark all the way back after the spots at the store crazy And it no matter how you know when it's 60 degrees on a bike you're fucking cold Freezing even when it's 50 degrees. You're fucking cold. You got all the hoods on and the fucking You know, I remember as a kid riding a motorcycle in jersey and it's I don't care if it's 60 degrees out in warm When you're riding at night and the sun goes down. It's fucking cold out there in those fucking swamps You know, it's a lot colder than what people fucking think so I'm happy you got rid of that motorcycle when you told me you got rid of it. I was like thank
Starting point is 00:33:57 Fucking god, he got rid of that goddamn thing because Now I'm just in the toyota forerunner, right? I got the the heat on I got the xm radio on And I'm just like listening to killer music. I'm like, this is the way man, you know, just chilling Speaking about music man, I saw you tweeted on saturday Uh The rhino records Released black Sabbath mob rules and black Sabbath Heaven and hell
Starting point is 00:34:32 They sent me both copies. I want to give a shout out because it's rhino records metal madness month or whatever over Rhino records, I made a video for them last week thanking them for all the albums. They sent me they sent me like the volume 4 and they sent me uh Heaven and hell and uh Mob rules and I gotta tell you something man When you look at hindsight 2020, you know, they say hindsight whatever the fuck It's so weird because you came on the podcast maybe five years ago
Starting point is 00:35:07 And you turned me on to human eyes or eye Which is the when d.o. Came back And did the album with Sabbath And I went home and I listened to it and I thought it was brilliant You know mob rules came out as I was going into my Heavy criminal period. That's when the mob rules came out So I really wasn't into that mob rules too much. Heaven and hell was a life changer for me You retweeted them last saturday, you know, because they're released on this week
Starting point is 00:35:41 Right when I got the copies. I gave my mob rules to jimmy florentine because I already had A copy of mob rules But it made me listen to heaven and hell again And it made me listen to mob rules again And when I heard that sign of the southern cross Whatever the name of it off mob rules. I'm like, yeah fucking dean dowre reminded me of like I thought about you. I was like And that's why I'm booking the podcast from now on when I think of people for some reason I'm just gonna call them up and go. I want you on the podcast man because
Starting point is 00:36:15 I Like last week I was watching the sopranos And I'm like enough is enough. I gotta get david chase to do a zoom with me, you know Did he do it? No, we're gonna do it before the movie comes out. Hopefully I could take him down to austin and do the rogan experience and then He could do like a 30 minute zoom with me For the joint, you know, but it's like when I think of people now. I want to like, you know, I'll call you
Starting point is 00:36:42 11 o'clock at night, which is eight o'clock your time Of course my wife my wife goes to bed at fucking eight o'clock nine o'clock And I'm left with my dick in my hand. So I got two options I could fucking watch tv Or I could listen to music and now I could play the guitar Yeah, all right, and I've even Started reading at night before I go to bed like I just turned the tv off But the one that I called you because
Starting point is 00:37:12 I listened to the mob rules and I was like, man, did I waste my time with drugs? This was such a great album. Like I just you know, by the time listen by the time mob rules came out, um For those for those about to rock Yeah, um, there was a couple of albums that The one with lennon with uh, Ted Nugent when he did got uh, the wango tango Oh, yeah, you know all those albums were my goodbye to music like I wasn't into music that that was my end of going to concerts It was nothing but guns and fucking cocaine after that like that was There was no period for music when I moved to colorado in 83
Starting point is 00:37:56 I got into music, but I got into music that I hadn't gotten into before Like I got you know, I got I started listening to the eagles and the grateful dead and you know, uh The nitty-ditty dirt band and shit like that things that I hadn't listened to before but I was so stuck on Sabbath, you know, I had put so much time into Sabbath that I was like, I gotta move on. I gotta figure something out But by you turning me on to d.o. And me going home at night and smoking dope and doing edibles and listening to d.o. You kind of brought me back
Starting point is 00:38:34 In a way and I I didn't see that then But now that I opened up having in hell and I turned it back on By you turning me on to this is really weird because Our lives are narrated by music, you know When we hear a certain song it takes us back to a certain time period in our lives, you know, that's what's great about serious That they got the 70s on 70. They got the 80s. They got the 90s. They got the 50s. They got the 60s You can listen to all this music and when I'm driving I'll just keep switching serious until I find this song
Starting point is 00:39:10 I like and I'll run with the genre whatever it is, but It's so weird how heaven and hell brought me back by you Opening me up to that it brought me back to thinking about new jersey thinking about concerts again thinking about My friends like I hadn't thought I hadn't had those thoughts Because comedy I consumed my life
Starting point is 00:39:35 And now I look at how comedy can I mean comedy consumed my life so much All right. I'm a fat fuck by nature But not really if you look at the pictures of me as a child. I was always a bony fuck But comedy took me so deep that I I even stopped caring about my like I took showers But I stopped caring about my health like that's how much I was into comedy when you're doing comedy The way you're supposed to do it. You're not supposed to be healthy if you really think about it
Starting point is 00:40:04 You're right all night. You're drinking You know, some of us do drugs. Some of us don't you know, uh eating shitty Eating shitty in the bars, you know, it's just the first 10 years of comedy is like this fucking Diving into the abyss, you know for some of us you got a guy like rogan that always kept his health up, you know, uh Bill burr had to stop drinking over the years, you know, we all we all learn While you're doing comedy what doesn't work because you learn more about yourself. You're unveil You know, you're opening up one of those fucking artichokes, you know So you see what I was I was telling somebody the other day that there's no more fiends in comedy
Starting point is 00:40:48 Now now when I got into comedy People weren't showing up at gigs People were getting high people were doing blow There's nobody doing coke and comedy no more. There's no drugs and comedies. No, there's no sam kenneson's anymore nothing like that No, no, it's business man and And you know, you can't be all fucked up on that patio at the store because there's going to be like three agents a casting agent A guy that's got a movie for you and if you think you know, if they come up and talk to you and you're all like I
Starting point is 00:41:23 Okay, yeah, we'll give you a ring, you know and and I know you're saying you're saying that to me and I I know I lost a thousand jobs and a thousand relationships because I would never get coked up at the store like before the show But after I went on stage it was every man for myself. It's an open fucking bar I don't have to you know, you've seen it. You you I don't know if yeah, you lived it also You saw what it was like up there, you know that It's very easy to go up there and get messed up with drugs and drinking, you know I got caught up with comedy so much that I even I didn't turn my back on music. I just
Starting point is 00:42:02 It felt like been there done that But it was music that brought me back by listening to that music That that d.o. Stuff and all that I start and let me tell you something. I wanted heaven in hell to fail so bad You know, I mean, you know, I wanted heaven in hell the fucking I wanted to hate heaven in hell so much But I ended up falling in love with the album At that age like and now I look back at the courage that it took. I remember I had uh Ronnie james d.o.'s wife on and I told her yeah, wendy. I wendy
Starting point is 00:42:38 I told her the truth. I go everybody around me wanted that album to fail You know, you were dissing azi But as a music enthusiast that showed you how to be a real man in a way how to go. Wow Even though I wanted this to fail. This is a great fucking album And i'm gonna pay attention to it You know, it's interesting when when you listen to them It's uh, it's it's black Sabbath. It's bill ward on heaven in hell And it's tony. I owe me and geezer butler. It's the same three guys
Starting point is 00:43:12 But when d.o. Was in the band they seemed to play more violent tony. I owe me plays way Way more violent lead guitar his tone is different and and they're their tempos are different and everything It's just more of this punch in the face like when you open up with neon knights. You're like, whoa, this is uh This is violent music as far as the performance Compared to say some of the classic Sabbath, which is kind of a little sleepy and droney, you know That kind of stuff master alley ish Yeah, you compare like mastery alley ish, which is a great album
Starting point is 00:43:57 To an album like nea, you know, uh, children of the sea Let's take that song for example That's a very unclassic classic Sabbath song right, it's unclassically classic Sabbath and There's a certain beauty to it. It's a great little ballad You know, I love I love changes. I love I'm going through changes great ballad
Starting point is 00:44:23 You know, Ozzy did some great ballads with black Sabbath, but I think children is to see d.o. Fuck so if you want to call it ballad to me, it's it's a ballad to some people might be listening to this They might go joy. We don't know what the fuck you're talking about. That's not a ballad. It's a ballad to me um It is it's a haunting ballad It's a haunting fucking ballad when I fucking when I put that album back on it just It took me right back there this week and It just let me know that it was you
Starting point is 00:44:56 That brought music back into my life and I wanted to thank you like you really Opened my eyes to I remember having bird on like in 2015 And him and I did a podcast about guns and roses I had gotten so many emails from 20 year olds that said they had never even heard Of guns and roses. It fucking infuriated me Yeah, infuriated me that Uh, we all that kids knew were you know, welcome to the jungle They didn't get to see the videos for november rain and all you know, which are fucking masterpiece videos
Starting point is 00:45:35 It's all like not not not only were there a masterpiece record Guns and roses learned to master the video Sweet child of mine is a great fucking video. They really You know, it's weird to know that our friend, uh, gene kirkland Was on that video shoot as a young photographer, you know Dead videos and it blew me away like I that podcast would burp And the response I got it wasn't like thank you for being funny. No, no, no Thank you for opening our eyes to this fucking and all of a sudden like three years later
Starting point is 00:46:07 I'm not saying because of me. I'm just saying like three years later. They were the first band To break a billion views Crazy, I think it's november rain did break. Yeah a billion views like three or four years later after our podcast Again, I'm not saying this because we did the podcast But It even made me go home and listen to guns and roses. It made me go home You know, I'm patreon. I just recently started playing the pretenders I wonder why the fuck do you peg me as a pretenders fan?
Starting point is 00:46:39 So music brought me back to To being Coco Diaz, you know, not a comic Just a human being again Like it brought me back to fucking Coco Diaz again When I stopped playing music it made me start to love it again So when you're so deep into music You're just kind of blinders on and you're just recording and making music and and then when I got out of it
Starting point is 00:47:09 And that's why I started at the comedy store because it was you know, the building's painted black. It's on sunset strip It's a hundred percent rock and roll that place It goes way back with kinesin and dice and all the rock in there And all the rockers hanging out there And I was like i'ma start here and then they'd play rock on the patio and I was just like Man, I love music again like more than ever, you know, because I was out of it And I could just enjoy it without feeling a slight competitive Thing when you're playing music, you know, like, ah, they put out a fucking good record. God damn it
Starting point is 00:47:48 I got to get better. You know that whole thing. It was wild. Now. I could just listen to it as a full fan It's funny because I always admired the dj When I was a kid, I always thought about dj and like not in the disco, you know scratching and shit just Just the I love the idea of turning people on To to music that hadn't heard before with a story, you know
Starting point is 00:48:18 I'm not in love with stand-up anymore right now for some reason. I'm just at a blah state would stand up right now But the last this pandemic has made me fall in love I'm happy Mike got me the guitar as a gift because now it's an extension But it also I don't know how to describe it like It just removed a lot of cobwebs for me music during this time This settled me a little more like I even put on I put on an album that I haven't listened to in 40 years. I put on the the good rats
Starting point is 00:48:56 Now I forget the name of the album, you know, and I was like, wow, I can't believe I use our birth comes to us all By the good rats the good rats were banned out of Long Island when I was a kid And they had a couple good songs. I think they opened up for somebody at the garden. They made good You know, they didn't hit hit the mech mecca of it But I've even done things like that. I've listened to the kinks silly Lloyd heroes, you know Uh fucking the one with uh
Starting point is 00:49:25 Lola v meets Superman, you know all these albums I've been listening to all these older type albums to let me know who the fuck I was growing up And it's done a fucking great job without a psychiatrist You know, I didn't have to go online and talk to a psychiatrist or Seek a religion or whatever I mean, my relationships have gotten stronger with my wife and my child during this Uh pandemic but what I Enjoy the most right now
Starting point is 00:49:57 more than stand-up is doing the album of the week Because that means that I come down here after dinner like Wednesday And I fucking smoke a bone And I go in that room. I lock the door I put my feet up on the couch And I get to listen to an album like when I was like 15 without a worry in the world you know, like when you're
Starting point is 00:50:22 When you're 25 and you listen to an album it sounds different Then it did when you were 15 because now you got a life You're in college. You just graduated college. You're at a law firm. You're this you're that So you forget all this shit, you know, you forget it I didn't I this is what brought me back was listening to that old music again I feel a hundred percent better than I did in los angeles Uh
Starting point is 00:50:50 I'm off the ferris wheel like I'm off the fucking ride I could do comedy on my terms, you know, like that. I don't know if that But this has made me fall in love That that preparing for album of the week Is my favorite fucking thing that I do now Yeah, because I could do an album of the day if I wanted to Yeah, I would do an album of the day and sit there with them and it could be eight hours Like it could be joint after joint like if I had a job where you go listen, we want you to present a fucking album every day
Starting point is 00:51:24 Just smoke weed you got four hours to kill. I could fill that Because I could break down every song we could go over the lyrics We could see where they recorded this the album that you know, I love all that shit I love that shit, too That's that's I wanted to be on serious xm and just do that shit, you know, like present new music Like here's marcus king man and this is why I like him and this is where I saw him and this is where he His sound comes from and and that breakdown that kind of stuff rival sons new bands That i'm constantly finding so people are that say there's no good music anymore
Starting point is 00:52:03 I could just be like you're wrong listen to my show every day at two o'clock. I'm gonna give you three bands, you know Yeah, no, no, I like it from that perspective, but since I'm not on top of the new bands Yeah This you know listen right now the people watching and listening to this podcast I got to say that maybe 10 percent of 50 year olds We got maybe 30 percent of 40 or 50s We got like another 20 percent in their 30s, but everybody else isn't their 20s and late teens
Starting point is 00:52:37 and Maybe their father didn't listen to sabbath or the stones or let it skinner it or You know, I just listened to frank marino And mahogany rush live so so great two weeks ago from 1978 that right, you know Just to thought of listening to that hour. I almost called you at one in the morning and said You know, what happened with frank marino that was a That was like that could have happened that happens with comics
Starting point is 00:53:08 That's a great, you know the kid who passed away a couple weeks ago. Eric God rest his soul He was a great comic that kid, you know, he just had other demons That were haunting him the reason why people didn't hear about him before that was because he fell through the cracks And that happens with a lot of bands today like you like fuck that was a great band But they didn't tesla Oh, yeah, tesla's got 20 fucking great songs Yeah, but they didn't get to the heights of judas priest or
Starting point is 00:53:38 iron maiden or You know sabbath But why is he? Yeah, tesla's a good band y&t. There's a lot of great yt. There's a lot of great bands that Uh Just fell through the holds. You don't you don't and the With comics that happens also. They were great I'm finally fucking excited that holtsman came out of his coma up to 20 years
Starting point is 00:54:04 That the world could see where the fuck brian holtsman is he finally moved to austin He's down there with brian and tony hinch cliff and he's being a comic That guy is one of the funniest guys walking today But the world never got to see him because holtsman always needed a fucking job Funniest guy walking off the cuff funniest fucking guy off the cuff. He's a killer So, you know, like i'm excited like last week. I was like, what the fuck brian holtsman was at the store for 22 years. They didn't want to do comedy Now he wants to do comedy. This is what the pandemic did to people
Starting point is 00:54:40 And for a guy like me who couldn't even think about not doing like Dog if you know that monday night that I wouldn't go to the store When they would have like kill tony Yeah, i'll be doing i'd be doing a podcast And i'll tell you what between me and you as men. I was embarrassed. I wasn't there Yeah, like the way I lived my life. You're supposed to stand up every fucking night The only reason why I gave myself a pass on those nights on mondays and wednesdays Was because I was doing a podcast
Starting point is 00:55:15 It's a form of entertainment But if I wasn't doing a podcast, I'd still have to be out. I would beat myself up To be out. That's who I am and when you're a comic, that's what you need to be. That's what And now I look at myself I don't even I look outside that back patio some nights And I go out then I smoke a number in the cold And and I and I smoke a half a number to be honest with you. I put it away for the next day I don't even smoke the whole fucking number
Starting point is 00:55:43 But that just goes to show you that How people have changed during this pandemic Like Holstron went from wanting a day job. He saw himself on that documentary on the comedy store and he goes fuck this I'm gonna go do fucking comedy for fucking time. I'm wasting my fucking life Being a fucking dog catcher whatever the fuck he's doing. So I hope now people get the fucking witness The brilliance that's brian holstron Yeah, he's he's great, man. I had him on the podcast a few months ago I mean, I remember when I started I'd have to kind of follow him
Starting point is 00:56:17 Uh and man It was the it was the greatest lesson ever because it was just like It it was almost impossible if you could just get one laugh, you're like, all right I kind of I got out of there as a tie because he would just disintegrate the room He would disintegrate the room Yeah, and it taught me to learn how to follow people like him or rick ingram Or a brody that are completely outside the box different, uh, you know Uh rhythms and cadence and uh volumes and you know loud or whatever organic, you know
Starting point is 00:56:52 Just winging it All that kind of stuff of like, oh, I got to be more in the moment and free And fuck it, man Address it if you're bombing up there after holtsman You're like, yeah, you come up here and try to go on after holtsman that kind of shit And it started to work and I figured it out. I was like, all right. I got this, you know, but it took a long time what killed me the most about holtsman was watching him was
Starting point is 00:57:19 Not I wouldn't watch holtsman. I'd watch the audience reaction I would just sit in the back. I wouldn't sit in mitzvah's chair. I'd sit in that other chair across from The bathroom Right if you come out of the bathroom, there's a chair right there. That's a good one. I like that one Yeah at midnight, there would be nobody in that fucking when holtsman would go up It would be like me holtsman and somebody else. So We wouldn't even have a fucking, you know, there would be eight people in there 10 people 12 people
Starting point is 00:57:49 So I would go watch their faces After holtsman, it would always turn down the four Like he would always walk four people like I would go holtsman. Please Fucking don't walk those four Because we they the comedy star in those days needed four people to do a show Yeah, and there were many a nights that that's all we had in that motherfucker was four fucking people so You know, it would get to like 22
Starting point is 00:58:18 Poor mooney would go up. He would get off. It would get to like 12 So now I had Fucking eight people left That I had to pray for that fucking holtsman wasn't gonna walk And he used to have a bit that he had a kid that was gay And he would take his son to the baseball games to blow off He would take him to trucker stops to blow truckers and shit because it's Because his son was gay and he was and when he was a baby he would take him to baseball games
Starting point is 00:58:47 And just take his dick out and feed him at baseball games and shit And I would watch people's faces and they would lose it. That was an education That was an education itself. So I'd be sitting there, you know, I'm cheering for the motherfucker to do well But at the other hand I'm cheering for fucking these eight people to stay Because without them I'm not gonna get my 15 dollars and fuck in those days. I needed those fucking 15 dollars badly Hell yeah, so I would watch holtsman and go Please do have a great show
Starting point is 00:59:20 I want to laugh But don't do that fucking you take your kid to the baseball games and he suck your dick When he's hungry a bit because people get fucking, you know, people just get fucking annoyed and they walk out I saw people storm out of that that would get you know, when he would say that joke But I mean that that's the way it was you had to go up there father holtsman to six people Yeah, there'd be six fucking people in the fucking audience And I go Jesus christ. So now i'm doing shows for I think it's They raised it to 35 new jersey. So I think I got like 40-something people in there
Starting point is 00:59:58 Every wednesday. They'll probably raise it up Towards the end of the month. I think by june I was looking at the schedule for the concerts around here They're fucking straight. They're full boat jack steely dan the third of july over at pnc, whatever So I don't I don't know what they're gonna do. I don't know what the seating arrangements are But they're going for it. So I'm off to Des Moines, Iowa next weekend Really or this week this weekend. Yeah, my first road dates in one year my first plane ride everything
Starting point is 01:00:32 I'm going to tea he's in Des Moines And I'm going to go do three shows one friday two saturday And I'm ready man. I feel I'm writing some of the best material in my 11 year career 10 and a half years now and I feel I'm uh I I know from the pandemic I love this more than anything and comedy saved me actually because if I was just Selling motorcycles during the pandemic like I was I'd been done. I would have been done. I would have no money
Starting point is 01:01:10 I would have really no friends a couple friends that you know have kids and I'd see from work But I'd be done so comedy when I look at it and also Getting that diabetes when I did and beating it Prepared me not to die for the fucking Pandemic because you know, I got covid back in march. I would have been fucking dead with with diabetes. So everything's kind of uh It's like I really believe this Joey. I've said this many times. I feel like Your life map is laid out for you When you're born I kind of feel like that because here I am like man, somebody's looking out for me because I'm uh
Starting point is 01:01:52 I was doing comedy and thank god I was in the patreon and the and the podcast I do in the podcast 10 years So without that I would be dust, you know This is crazy to think about you know, uh I'm very happy that I felt I always want to tell you that I always felt bad leaving you there like I felt really bad, you know, like I'm like He's like he's become like my brother over the years You know, I was happy to see
Starting point is 01:02:23 Lee leave and Steve Simone leave, you know I didn't want to feel like a quitter, you know at first. That's what I felt like. I'm a quitter for leaving But I wasn't leaving because of me. I was leaving for my daughter, you know, I get it right now My daughter is at a play date You know or she's in school, but uh You know, I'm fucking saturdays and sundays now There's no more daughter in the house.

So it's like You know, man, uh doug stan hopes said it best last week that he
Starting point is 01:03:48 Is the first time since he was 17 That he slept in his bed for a year Yeah, yeah You know, I was like everybody else. I gotta be honest with you when the pandemic first hit I was concerned and worried but then As it went on I got happy because I needed to break my spirit my soul
Starting point is 01:04:13 I had been going fucking straight since 1979 man Yeah, I've been going straight Yeah, I have I have been out every night Since 1979 When my mother died and I lived with a family It was hard to stay in a house At night with a family that wasn't yours, you know
Starting point is 01:04:36 Even though I loved them and I cared for them and they cared for me Just the thought of being in a room was like being in prison at the age of 16 So I've been out every night since 1979 Same you know what same it's it's been a great fucking year.
