It's monday cocksuckers you got a second chance of being a fucking savage
You
You
What's happening you bad motherfucking it's monday
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. Those days are done
Like her and my wife have fucking lives here
Yeah, you know triply performed on friday and saturday in uh
In uh at the comedy dojo, you know, I was gonna go thursday night
With jimmy, but his son had a a game on thursday night
and then friday night
My wife went out, you know, my wife has friends here. I mean, you know, she goes out once a week
And then saturday night
I had, you know, shit to do
We went to a friend's house and then by the time I got back
It was too late to drive to triplies and we have that thing on
Saturday nights as a family we watched the honeymooners at 9 30
I got a watching all in the family at 9
9 30 the honeymooners
And then they go to sleep and me and my wife watch
The honeymooners at 11. So it's like
You know, man, uh doug stan hopes said it best last week that he
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
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
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. It's I had my ups and downs
Since the pandemic started, you know when the pandemic started
I got caught up with the fucking
With the fucking pills and you know
My anxiety went off fucking kilter
And then little by little, you know, I went through all these things. I remember
eating I told my wife that
up until
I think September 1st
I had a fucking knock myself out every night to sleep
And when I mean knock myself out, I mean that I had built the tolerance that only heroin could probably
Conquer I could do I could do I was eating five of those capsules
And one of them will kill you one of those fucking hashtags
Yeah, kill you 100 milligrams. I was eating five or 600 200 milligrams
You know, are those they pass out?
Yeah, I was fucking killing my a brass of Pam whatever that fucking shit is those footballs
Oh, yeah, four or five of those things a night
I had a collection of them. My my doctor kept prescribing to me since like 2008 and I never took them
Yeah, I just put all the jars together. I had like 20 jars of these pills
So every time express grip would send them
I would have a jar of those fucking footballs and I just
Bro, I would my whole life was turning on world news tonight
And playing fucking, uh, you know
Stopped the anxiety
So
Once I think I got settled
September 1st once I moved
I went to a party
And I seen all these people without masks and I'm like fuck it
I'm gonna fucking die, but I can't keep living while I'm living and
Here we are today. I'm a lot better. What do you feel now?
Since it's been what two months since you had covid this february or last yeah, I had last march at the beginning early covid
Okay, and how do you feel now any after effects or anything? I feel great. It was like three months. I was just completely like
Sluggish if I was working out I was kind of burnt
And I would it would come and go just kind of this weird flemmy shit in my throat
I never had the cough
But I had the fever that would you would want to shoot yourself with a bullet four days of this gnarly fever
and then um
I would just it was weird. It took about three months for me to kind of get back to like, oh, I'm finally
Normal again
Um, I was just burnt all the time. So it could have been also
anxiety and stress and depression
with a combo of detox and from the um
From the covid and I also had a weird thing that nobody seems to know what it was but my nose
Kind of blew up like a bukkowski day drinking nose
And just ooze out like a oil all day like my nose was just greasy with big old pores
I don't know what the fuck that had to be some uh side effect that nobody's got but dude
I remember I was doing an instagram live and someone said man, you need sunblock your nose is fucked up
And it was fucked up my nose. I thought it was going to be like that for life. I was like my nose is ruined
It was crazy
Yeah, I
I don't know like the last week
I took two covid tests. I got a guy now that just
Let's me come in for a flat price
We've become friends because anytime i'm you know, I always try to take a test on thursday
You know, I got mike
I don't want to give it to mike and then he has kids and stuff like that
Right, you know, I go over the florentines and stuff. But besides that, I really don't do much
I go to the gym
and uh
Nobody there has it. They leave both doors open
You know when I go do comedy on wednesdays at uncle venny's
I'm not scared at all. I don't feel
It's 40 people, you know, so
I'm all right now. I just uh
My life changed a lot. That's all that happened
You know my wats and desires have changed a little bit and you know what I'll take the summer off
And uh, I'll see what my head is at when the soprano movie comes out when the many saints comes out
Yeah, if I get a slight bug up my ass, I'll I'll do a little fucking touring then
But for right now, I'm just gonna sit tight and keep listening to records and learn to play the fucking guitar
That's it. And that's all
My phone does the best the best thing on the planet. I think the iphone is the photo memory. So
The you know weekly it'll pop up this photo memory and a lot of them are with you
And I sit down for a minute like I sent you that vegas
Uh photo from last week, you know, and I just thought about 28th. That was our last road date. That was it
That was my last road date and march second
Was when I went to march third. It was my last day at the store
Yeah, and march 10th was the bondscott tribute and 12th was my last date at the store
But these photos come up
Of you and I all over man over the years dude over the years
We have gone and melted some faces, man
Melted some faces and made people happy and that is better than anything on the planet when you just hear people go
I saw you and joey's punchline
And joey's flight was cancelled because the fog and you headlined the one night
And then I was like who's this guy and then you killed and I went back the next night and you and joey cre
You know like all these stories I give all the time from people and it's great, man
And that vegas show was we were both fucking powering man because we had been just doing comedy 24 seven, man
listen, man, you uh
you
Were one of the things that were keeping me alive towards the end
Because I was very devastated with people
And young comics and how they were acting
And everybody was looking for something you weren't looking for anything you were doing the work
So it kept me alive. I admired that
I admired
You know you and steve simone and there was a couple of you guys carmen moralis
That you didn't think I was watching hazel's trail
But I was watching you may not think I'm watching but I'm watching
That's why I love when people reach out and say hey, I'm doing this this and this if you were doing that that that
I'd be fucking hearing about you
Yeah, I don't I haven't heard about you
But I was hearing little murmurs about dean delray and I was hearing little murmurs about k quickly
And I was hearing little murmurs about hazel's trail and you know these comics that
Weren't scared to put their fucking, you know, they didn't care about being a doorman
You just saw them that they love comedy so much
That I had to fucking do something for them and then you had these other handful of people that just wanted to be stars
And didn't want to do the work they just thought oh joey'll put me on this podcast and take me on the road
And I'll be a fucking star really it doesn't happen that quickly you got to earn your fucking stripes, bitch
So as far as I was concerned
All these people were upsetting my internal fucking organs with their fucking gimme gimme gimme
But I'm looking at guys like you and steve simone and
Kate quigley and you know
Hazel's trail that was just like a special aid of use and you guys would inspire to fuck out of me
Because I would look at you and go that's the behavior, you know
Wow, I'm proud that these guys are acting this way
Because that's what you want, but then you had these other handful of fucking clowns
That thought that you know
Doing comedy twice a week earned them a right to come on the podcast or
Fucking me taking them on the road or you know, I get these fucking emails from people
I hate you you ruin my life by not putting me on my podcast
How the fuck is my podcast gonna make you a fucking star? Do you see me on abc?
Yeah, do you see me hanging out with denzel fucking washington you dumb fuck
Do you see me hanging out with fucking, you know, I'm not a fucking star. I'm just a fat fucking felon
Working doing what you should be. This is what you should be doing is working
But then on the other hand, I had guys like you
That were doing the work. You got to remember. I know you I saw you as a
Chubby guy at the ha ha
Yeah, when I first moved to north hollywood
Yeah, and then and then you just
Reinvented yourself you made decisions for yourself. I'm not going there no more. I'm gonna go to the store that these are my friends
You know, you fuck I saw what you were doing
And it impressed the fuck out of me in the society that everybody was just gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
I want to be on a podcast. I want a shout out. I want you to take me on the road
I was getting tapes from people sent to me on youtube
Email, you know fucking emails from people. I didn't know I'm a messenger
I want you to take me on the road. I'm you're coming to cleveland. Can I open for you? Who the fuck are you?
Yeah, I don't know you
But I know that dean delray did three fucking spots last night and he wrote a bicycle for his last one
You know, he went home put away his car and drove a bike up to the fucking last one
I know that cake quickly is taking bikini pictures and showing the tits
But I also know that she's fucking out there every night
You know, I'm looking at you know, all these guys that were doing fucking great work
You know crystal johnson just all these comments
You know, look at fucking and I never got her on the podcast because she always worked punky
Now she's I'm selling that fucking live, you know, yeah
I was watching all these people busting their hump
At the comedy store all these young kids and I'm watching and these fucking other people
And every other state sending me oh, can I come on your podcast?
They thought that by just going on a podcast
It was going to change their life and they had no idea of what goes into this fucking career
They had no idea what goes into this life
If you want to be a plumber or an electrician a writer
Fuck i'm learning now how to be a writer after all these fucking years 30 years in the business
And i'm learning now how to write fucking sentences and paragraphs and whatever
It took that fucking long. I'm not a writer. I'm a comedian. I'm supposed to make you laugh
