Starting point is 00:08:07 Listen, I always said even in last april if you listen to the old churches. I said that A lot of people This was going to give a lot of people a lot of time to think Lives are going to change careers are going to change Obviously, I didn't know I was talking about me You know, I mean from the no drinking espressos to the no smoking weed to the You know to the anxiety medication. I mean I have gave up All my you know, I was telling my wife that one of my big biggest fucking fears
Starting point is 00:08:42 Was moving here and just eating hamburger deluxe Just eating hamburger deluxe is like a hamburger deluxe here in jersey a cheeseburger deluxe Is a cheeseburger with fries with gravy and mozzarella cheese on it So I thought I was going to be eating three or four those a fucking week at night pizza Carvel well look at this so far since I've been here. I've lost close to 35 fucking pounds And this is since the beginning of the fucking surgery since I just applied myself But this isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how our lives changed
Starting point is 00:09:18 What I mean, listen a lot of negatives happened in your life during this pandemic I understand a lot of negatives happened in my life also But think about all the positive things that came from this That you know You do your best work in my world. I do my best work when I have a gun to my head And if this pandemic wasn't a gun to your head, I don't know what was working from home Zooming, you know on the computer all fucking day Whatever your life changed completely, you know social distancing your desk
Starting point is 00:09:51 You can't breathe on people's necks. Casinos will close. I mean listen, I there was a point where fucking I felt so bad for the Genery gamblers. I felt so bad because I know what it is To have a habit. I know what it is to have a vice and to need it every day I felt so bad when ought you couldn't bet on nothing but fucking bodies dying. That's all you could bet on There was one point where that was all you were betting on how many people gonna die on FaceTime today It was the saddest fucking thing in the world. But guess what? We pushed through it. We're here We're stronger because of it. I know a lot of years Are not in the place you want to be in your life personally. This took over your fucking life, but
Starting point is 00:10:33 Party look a listen for me. It changed my life completely It let me know What I wanted to do what I didn't want to do and what I couldn't handle or handle anymore And let me know I was burnt out and let me know this is the best thing that could happen Because now at least you know where the fuck you stand, you know, my agents They don't call me every day like they used to because I'm not going on the road So I don't need them no more all of a sudden, you know, you know Where you stand in this life when a pandemic hits. That's the best part about this
Starting point is 00:11:04 It was like I told Delia after you know, the whole thing went down I go at least You know where you stand with other comics with your friends With bookers and everything like that. That's the best thing about life sometimes is knowing where the fuck you stand And I know where the fuck I stand, you know, I'm happier I see my daughter. She's fucking happy as fuck. My wife has her own friends It's not people that want to be her friend because she's married to me and then at the end of the fucking dinner They whip out a script or they tell you they want to fucking come on the podcast or something
Starting point is 00:11:37 No, the desperation Is gone from my life guys. I don't even want to do half the shit You know, I break everything down guys. I'm an overthinker You know, I don't really focus on a lot of things but I look at them and I go, hmm That's interesting a couple weeks ago when I had those two auditions Listen, I had a migraine for four fucking days I didn't know if it was the johnson johnson shot. I didn't know if I had covid
Starting point is 00:12:04 I didn't know if I had a blood clot. I went for a blood test. I did a bunch of shit You know what that fucking migraine headache was from those two fucking auditions I did not want to put them on tape But I went ahead and I did what I had to do and then I I remember saying that last line And the headache went away. I don't want to be a part of that no more. It's so fucking for right now For right now for today I am fucking as happy as I could be because
Starting point is 00:12:33 I'm living the life that I've been wanting to for a long Fucking time for years. I told my agents listen. We got a lighting up on the road a little bit You know, I got a daughter. I want to be home more. I could not figure out how to get off this fucking Carousel. I mean when I spoke to alley wong a few weeks ago She said the same thing We were on a carousel that we could not get off of all of us were in life Maybe you were in a bad relationship. You know, whatever the fuck you were doing Maybe you did a bunch of drugs during the pandemic and you got clean. You started going to meetings
Starting point is 00:13:07 I have a couple guys on patreon that I referred meetings to because the pandemic was listen to pandemic fucked me up Fucked me up completely. I've never been a listen I do a job that is one of the toughest jobs in the world One of the fucking hardest things of life if you look it up People what people are scared of the most is debt and fear of public speaking I do something that a lot of people can't do for a living. I don't listen guys I don't have a lot of fear about a lot of things. I'm scared of needles. I'm scared of shit like that But mostly I'm pretty fucking good
Starting point is 00:13:46 You let me think about something like the surgery you let me think about something for a couple weeks I get pusified and then I go look at you. What are you a fucking pussy? You got to get it together. You fucked You need this fucking knee surgery or you need this blood test or you need this covid fucking shot I do what I have to do. I'm not scared of anything this fucking You know when you started watching the news in the beginning and they weren't really telling you Everything it kind of fucked me up a little bit. You saw it. You saw it in the podcasting You saw it when I first started the joint and because of the joint and because of patreon And because of the little things I was doing I've gotten better and better and better and more confident
Starting point is 00:14:25 And here we are today. Am I confident enough to do stand up again? I'm not in the fucking mood to get on the stage I'm not in the mood to take fucking pictures. I'm not in the mood to get the ear beaten afterward I'm just not in the fucking mood. I'll be strictly honest with you motherfuckers I'm getting into this fucking girl softball I'm getting into Here's the first time it's like going fishing you ever go fishing. It's not about fucking catching fish It's about sitting on a lake getting some sun
Starting point is 00:14:57 And just being with nature It's just sitting outside and just listening to the fucking natural sound the fucking nature And just going wow, you know, how lucky am I to be able to do this To come here and sit. It's the same thing when I go to girl softball I'm watching her But at the same time I'm sitting there in the fucking bleach is uncomfortable
Starting point is 00:15:20 Nothing to lay back on, you know And you're like, what the fuck am I doing with my life? I'm making a little girl's fucking day And last time I checked that's what my whole life is about is every day You got to make somebody's day you put a little smile on their face Doesn't mean you have to give them money. It doesn't mean you have to fucking eat their ass I'm talking about just maybe a hello Just a smile. Maybe just a wink of acknowledgement opening up a door for somebody Maybe one of your buddies needs some help fucking
Starting point is 00:15:50 Financially it's about that for me. It's always been about that for me because I'll tell you what every day somebody makes my fucking debt At one point I go wow, that was the nicest thing through a message Or maybe through a fucking gesture or something. I'm always Getting a great You know people are always one, you know today. I went to the gym And I was doing a move And one of the guys said to me joey will work better if you pulled it this way and keep it low Tight, you know, he didn't have to do that. He didn't have to do that
Starting point is 00:16:23 He goes your elbow sticking out make it a little tighter So when you pull it hit your lat directly, he didn't need to do that He came over said to me. Did I tell him to fuck off? No, I go, let me try it like that I go, oh, I see what you're saying. I do feel the stretch now. You know, he made my fucking day That's it. Did he give me money? Did he give me a fucking cheeseburger? Did he have to give me a joint? Did he have to give me weed? No None of those things He just did a gesture and that's what I've been doing throughout this whole thing. It's just a gesture
Starting point is 00:16:54 Sometimes it does okay Sometimes it backfires, but you know what you feel better for doing it And that's all that fucking matters, especially now, but you know what it's over This pandemic is over.

Yeah, one she stopped She ballooned up. She ended up in the hospital and they told her to stop drinking
Starting point is 00:26:33 So I am like right now during this whole pandemic I got a couple confessions to make to you. So we moved into this house. September 1st Right The first couple weeks, it was rough. I think I had like a mild heart attack august 21st after I got here from anxiety just confusion frustration yeah, and uh I moved into the house and you know, we we got into the community the whole thing And one afternoon without thinking, you know, I started popping edibles in the afternoon, you know
Starting point is 00:27:06 30 year 100 year like I usually did like my normal days in la work Yeah, you know and We went out to dinner with a family like a bunch of families with kids And I started nodding on the table like fucking one of the kids was like, are you okay? Uncle Joey and I'm like, yeah, I'm fine and my wife said something to me. She's like, you got to cut it out now We're in a new fucking community And I started thinking about it before I started the podcast. I'm like I want the podcast to be different. I don't want to you know, you got to come back different
Starting point is 00:27:39 Yeah, so I'm not going to smoke on the podcast. So that was rule number one. Do you know It is 130 145 here and I have not smoked yet today No, okay. All right. Good man. Can you fucking believe that? No, I have to my wife told me that that night. She's like Joey, you know, you you're your own man, but You were fucking high as fuck at dinner at the table. Yeah, so I stopped edibles completely got off him Did like a 45 day cleanse. No, no drinking nothing, you know, I kept whatever
Starting point is 00:28:14 I just wanted to get my tolerance down Yeah, it was too out of control. I mean when I got when I had the surgery Those five milligrams oxycodons and I don't even eat oxycodon, but they don't do nothing to me Nothing nothing the five little fives didn't do dick to me So I cleaned up my whole life. I turned the edibles around and now you know what I use the edibles for to sleep That's the best. So I you're coming on team tom, dude. That's what I do. That's what you do. I do it at that's what I do Man, I eat edibles. Huh? What time do you pop them? So if it's if I'm doing it right ideally
Starting point is 00:28:50 I would like to do it like 90 minutes before I want to go to sleep Perfect. That's that's the perfect time because then you feel it you get the buzz And you're like and if it's a you know, if it's the right doses, you're like, oh, yeah You're watching something you start to fade out go to bed. I actually I don't like taking it Too close to when I go to bed because then I'm like, I'm gonna it's it messes it up I like it. So if I want to go to bed like at 11, you know, I'll try to take it like 9 30 I start my process at 9 30 Yeah to sleep if I want to go to sleep at 11 30 12

I sleep till 8 15 Wow till my daughter kisses me to tell me she's leaving I get up with her I throw some water on my face and I got a cup of coffee.

I just I don't think I was a healthy Uh, mental wise it was a lot of shit going on with me I think there's a I think it's not just you I think that I mean I understand that but I think that You know this city is a it's a weird place, man
Starting point is 00:32:07 and and you You kind of see that it's kind of a it's a strange it's a strange business that we're in like that that that's a it's not The best thing to be in la and in this business for like You know Good mental health. I mean it it really can wear on you. It does wear on you. It wears on you. It wears on me I'm not proud to admit it, but I'll admit it. You know, it was just uh, I think 2016 was my break point
Starting point is 00:32:39 Uh-huh after that. I just became I was like numb, you know, I needed Edibles just a function in my day, I needed All this shit just a function, you know, and then the pandemic came And I started eating those fucking anxiety pills. I had had them stopped up for 12 years I think I took like three of them I would take them on the road to sleep if I wanted to sleep good And once the pandemic came I would wake up with fucking, you know, my anxiety stopped when I woke up from the surgery
Starting point is 00:33:10 January 9th, I woke up and I'm like, wow It disappeared because I had anxiety about my heart. I had anxiety about my knee moving here Before the fucking surgery. They did every test they could, you know, like they did everything Every heart test every test. So I'm clear. So I'm good So when I woke up, I lost like 50% of the Anxiety then over the last couple months. I've been getting better and better I was struggling on stage. Tom. Tom, how long do you know me? I was struggling Struggling to go up there and say the words
Starting point is 00:33:46 So I feel like you were feeling anxious about that too Yeah, once I cut that out of my life stand up Anxiety 20% went away Wow, and once I got the covid shot I'm good now I'm still not jumping up and down hanging out with people Yeah, but I'm good. I have my moments I go to the gym. I make sure both doors are open
Starting point is 00:34:09 You know, I wear my mask. That's all you could do. That's all you could do, you know, I'm the lightest I've been and maybe 15 years Wow, that's great. Yeah, I weighed myself today. I'm 18 pounds away from my goal Congrats my first goal, you know and uh A lot of people were inspired by you when I had bird on a couple weeks ago He told me That what happened to you really wore on him like you were in good shape. You were healthy And I think a lot of people saw that fall and we all said fuck it. We're getting strong
Starting point is 00:34:46 you know Yeah, man, I mean it definitely, you know, it was more mentally and emotionally taxing than a lot of people like a lot of people were like You broke your arm. Like what's the big deal? I'm like, yeah, it didn't really Effect me that way. I didn't feel like I just fell and broke my arm, you know I mean like it was it was much more like I went through like an emotional period in recovery You do like, you know, oh, yeah, man and like people that have been injured understand it all the therapists understand it But a lot of people just go like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I don't know how to explain it to you, man
Starting point is 00:35:21 but it was a very Mentally and emotionally taxing time and I didn't expect it I mean, I didn't expect to get injured and then I didn't expect it to affect me in that way And you know, like you feel a lot of things like one of the things that stood out to me was like Day one in the hospital. I felt like tremendous gratitude like overwhelming I don't mean when you're like, well, I'm grateful for my like I felt like overwhelming gratitude that That I was in the position I was in that my friend like Burt was with me And I I felt like so much gratitude that he was my friend
Starting point is 00:35:53 And the whole thing was like this it's this overwhelming experience and like I don't know how to really Describe it to people but you know If you're fucking around playing basketball and you think you're having fun and then all of a sudden You feel like you got shot like that feel like I got shot, man Like my fucking patellar tendon rips in half and then I land on my arm and snap Like all of a sudden your whole world is upside down I mean
Starting point is 00:36:19 It's it's one of those things where it's like it's one of those Life experiences where I know this will be like at this moment where 20 years from now you could ask me about it And I'll be like Man, that was a day that I felt like Made a huge impact on my life, you know, it's like it reminds me I was telling someone I go You know when I was 19, I OD'd and I was in a coma and it was like it was really wild experience and You know, it's a fresh in my mind like it doesn't it's 20 years more than 20 years ago
Starting point is 00:36:50 But it changed the way that I was living my life at the time. I was a freshman in college I was doing the things that a lot of people were doing Which you're a freshman in college you're experimenting with drugs and I was and I was like slowly escalating right And as I was escalating you have something real crazy happen Which is like an od and you're in and you're in the in a coma and you're in icu It makes you kind of go like what the fuck am I doing right and it changed me like I ended up Never doing a hard drug again because it's traumatic and so
Starting point is 00:37:24 For this thing it's a totally different thing obviously, but it just kind of affects you In a way where you're like, oh man, like I didn't realize I was just vulnerable, you know, I mean like Why would I think that I'm going to go to jump and my fucking body's going to break in half? Like you don't think that, you know, and then Yeah, then you feel like this weird gratitude stuff and then I mean, I don't know man I was just in this recovery center and people are taking care of you. I was talking to a A therapist about it. I'm like, I don't know why this is so Emotional for me and she's like well
Starting point is 00:37:59 you know, this is kind of like It's kind of like being a baby again When you're when you're totally vulnerable as an adult and I was like trying I was like what she goes well You're an adult But you need someone to help you with everything Right now like when you're when you're fresh in there like you can't sit up on your own You can't eat on your own horrible. You can't do anything horrible And people are taking care of you and all of a sudden you go
Starting point is 00:38:24 Oh, like like people are taking care of me and it kind of feels like it sounds weird, right? But it feels like you're a baby And then these are all like your mummies and daddies and it just fucked it fucking It sat with me man. It fucking did and then I go I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to Even though I was you know, I was working out five days a week when I got hurt I mean, I was 30 pounds heavier than I am now But I wasn't like sitting around doing nothing, you know, but I go like oh, I can't fuck around At that weight anymore. That's what I told myself. I was like you got to get
Starting point is 00:39:01 leaner And stronger because look look what can happen, you know, so I've just taken it seriously since I left there, you know I eat clean I work out and I just fucking I don't want to fucking break shit again, man. Tom I refuse to watch The video for a few weeks And I gotta be honest with you when I watched it between me and you and people watching
Starting point is 00:39:26 Yeah, I tear it up Really? I tear it. Yeah, you might you know, it it's Like I just thought about the pandemic and what you were going through and I thought about your wife and your kids and Yeah, then I saw the fucking you called me the one day we were talking on FaceTime and you were with the therapist and yeah with the pt. I'm watching you and the pt was helping me out Telling me stuff. It's it's just so weird I I got my surgery January 8th and I had to sit in that fucking chair You know, I mean

You read You do what you can and I remember that after about a month I said today is that I'm going to the gym I went in there, you know, once the stitches once they pulled the fucking Metal things out whatever those things were that kept going ding ding ding When they were hitting the thing and I was like about the faint And I went to the gym and I'm doing my thing and there's
Starting point is 00:40:30 135 pounds just sitting on the bench press You know a bar with two 30 45 pound plates Yeah, and the whole time I'm just doing like, you know, maintenance shit I'm you know doing the fucking battle ropes. I'm doing fucking pull-ups. I'm trying And I go let me go over and see if I can still bench press one 45 Because I used to do that like nothing when I was a kid, you know So I walk over to it. I fucking get on the bench takes me like two minutes with the knee I got a sit and I crawl
Starting point is 00:41:02 And I go to pick up the fucking thing and I go I thought about your video Really? I thought about the video and I go no not today With my luck and what the world is doing and after I saw the tom video This thing is going to go down like a rocket ship The train is on the other side of the room It's going to slide down and it's like one of those things where I just talked to joey last night What happened? You didn't hear what happened the fucking weights fell on his fucking neck The way the world is right now. You can't take a fucking chance. I don't want to take a chance
Starting point is 00:41:32 I got a bike there. I got a beautiful mountain bike every day. I look at that thing I go I'm gonna go for a ride in a but I'm like not really not yet the legs I could go down to the stationary bike at the gym Now I finally this last week. I got in the big boy bike And I'm doing that but I I just I stopped taking chances after I saw you I was like the world is crooked Because you had a knee replacement too. Yes. Do you uh, do you check out floors now? Like when you walk and you see like a motherfucker
Starting point is 00:42:02 And I'm at the third month mark and I refuse to go anywhere because I can't shoot you Man, I can't run and shoot So if I can't run and shoot I can't You see a wet spot on the floor and you're like, oh, shit Like I'll fucking like hug a wall like I'm not fucking walking near that. Oh my god I walk like I walk like Herman Munster. I take like two little steps. My knees are straight I'm fucking it is A nightmare it really is a fucking nightmare what it does to you
Starting point is 00:42:30 You know and I had an accident like once you have an accident with the surgery Like we all think we're ready like one day when did comedy And they brought me up on stage and without even thinking I picked up my right leg to get on stage And that just ripped my it muscle I got on the stage and I felt my whole body rattle Like I was about to pass out. I had a pain pill in my pocket. I'm like, I don't want to take a pain pill in front of them I mean, what the fuck do you do and I proceeded to do the comedy and I could feel the leg the bone That's how much pressure like it just the whole leg
Starting point is 00:43:09 Uh two weeks later. I went to the doctor and they told me I ripped the fucking it thing And you know and I was like I done everything I could do Fuck it. How's the wife? Good, man. Tell her I miss I miss telling the dirty stories and shit watching the glasses get fucked up and She misses you we fucking we're like we're really Let we're you know, I've been here almost 20 years and she's been here basically her whole life And we're both like ready to go. It's it's like it's we're excited man. So she's um You know, I never thought that I could get her out of here
Starting point is 00:43:48 Because I would I would routinely go like Hey, would you ever live in she's like are you are you great? Like she would just tell me like no Like we're not moving Like and you know if your wife's like there's no way I'm doing this you're like, all right so That would come up all the time and she would always shoot it down and then It shifted where she became the driving force
Starting point is 00:44:09 She was like I couldn't believe it. We're talking about like a lifelong resident here But now she's fired up man, and she's like she's doing the road. So she's happy to be doing stand-up again You know, we're obviously podcasting all the time But she is ready to go. What is her motivator? What what what did she see? I think she saw That LA Really changed especially in this last year like this city list I I don't know if you remember this or not
Starting point is 00:44:39 But I've always been the LA advocate like when you travel and people talk shit I'd be like fuck you then don't come to LA like I liked LA I always have And in this last year, I'm like, you know, this city has gone to shit man. So It's just something that I've seen it's it you can't deny it You can't act like it's not happening if you live here You just see it like it's it's gotten dirty. There's fucking trash everywhere. There's a homeless epidemic It is not
Starting point is 00:45:10 Like when people go I live in this city and there's home it is that there's an epidemic happening here, man Where it's not being addressed. It's just growing And this it's been poorly managed and dealt with and at a certain point you go And a part of this is the pandemic till you're like Wait, why am I like do I have to live here? Because we always thought we had to live here Like we're comedians, which you part of you is like, oh, you can live anywhere be a comedian And then you're like i'm a podcaster you can live anywhere be a podcaster and then you know, we all kind of jump in and out of
Starting point is 00:45:44 TV film stuff, but you're like man, it's not the main thing I do and I don't know like I can still do it. I can still get on a plane if I need to to go somewhere I love the idea, you know For me most of my life is touring and it's like I would much rather tour from the middle of the country than what I've been doing which is flying out of the southwest corner of the country Every fucking makes a big difference No more four hour flights. It's two you're two three and a half two and a half hours from anywhere right now from
Starting point is 00:46:15 Austin the great airport You're right in the middle of the country, you know, I for me My wife started pushing this campaign in 2016 In 2016 we went we came to jersey for the holidays And my wife was like, I don't know what you're waiting for to pull the fucking trigger Yeah, I went to wildland hills. I looked at three houses like in 2015 and I was like No to all three of them. I don't want to I knew in 2015
Starting point is 00:46:46 I didn't want to buy I'm like, I'm not looking to buy to spend $900,000 on a house that's worth $450,000 Yeah So that was very good that I was smart enough to see that I came here in 2016 were there and on the way home at the airport. She goes, I don't know why we're even going back And then it was two years of just And I think after I shot the Netflix special with Christina. Yeah, that whole experience Fuck me up, bro. Really?
Starting point is 00:47:20 I didn't like it. I didn't like how it went down I didn't think that it was uh, you know 2000 stages in vegas and we're doing another fucking pool Yeah, you know and then Strange the fucking the wall came crashing down. I didn't like what you know, I just didn't I didn't train right for it. Nothing that I did was right on that whole situation That plane ride home was a deep deep Fucking thought process for me
Starting point is 00:47:50 Yeah, and I said, I don't know what or how I'm gonna get the fuck out of here But it was just all downhill after that You know, I was I look at those old podcasts and I my everything has changed about me my face my train of thought You know, I just kept going into a deeper deeper emotional hole And I was fueling it with the edibles and then the pandemic hit And it was the fucking footballs and it was just you know, no alcohol. No, no nothing bad But basically during the pandemic from ape from april to june
Starting point is 00:48:24 I basically did edibles to pass out at night Yeah, and I would destroy the kitchen the kitchens were destroyed in the morning as my wife would tell me It was just a rough time and then Once july 12th came and they announced there was no school My daughter was struggling. I'm not ashamed to say that those four months at home Killed her. She's a fucking social butterfly. Yeah, so they fucking killed her and uh When I saw that there was no school the whole year. I was like we're out of here That was that was the pushing point for me was I think you made the right choice, man
Starting point is 00:49:02 Yeah, no, I know from my From my health my family my daughter. We made the right choice You know, uh tv and film you could do anywhere now There's something about this year too because I haven't left yet Where basically you're like, oh because you you see things stripped down like everything's stripped down You can see things kind of more clearly. So it's like The basically what I enjoy is
Starting point is 00:49:28 Pulling into my house You know, I mean like I like my house Physically, I like the neighborhood and I like seeing my family And I'm like, oh, but like when I once I leave like when I pull out onto the street here Immediately, I'm like, ah shit. Like, you know, I mean like I'm kind of aggravated. Why? But it's just like the the surroundings the chaos like I just go it's too much There's like there's I don't I'm not enjoying Driving to my office to do like it's not it's not enjoyable. Then I go like
Starting point is 00:50:01 I feel like I live in like a mad max kind of world and I go I don't What's the upside? like for me to staying here like what what's the Where's what's my explanation for why I live here and why I like living here like I live here because I've lived here But to continue living here. I'm like, I don't know man. I just don't feel like I don't feel like it does anything for me. You know, I mean like it's like there's a there's a point where you go like What what's the excitement? Where's the You know, like what's the thrill and I wasn't doing anything for me either at the end
Starting point is 00:50:37 Yeah, at the end it was we would just repeat play Go to lax come back It was a fucking repeat and play zone, you know, yeah And I do feel that thrill and when I was in I've been in austin like 10 times In the last couple months Man, I really dig the city. I I love the house. I got I I don't know. I'm excited like it's it's fun to feel excited about where you're gonna live and I I feel like I don't know. I feel like it's it's the right move for me, man. I'm really I'm excited about it
Starting point is 00:51:08 When you went down at austin Is welcoming you motherfuckers in oh, yeah, like they're They're uh, ecstatic about this, you know and the people there are different man Like they you know, there's great people everywhere. So I don't like the blanket generalization that like but still Most people Are like that like they're they're just friendlier. They you know, they they say hi No one says hi in la people don't know that but there there is no like good morning Or like how's it going? That's a very weird thing to adapt to like when I got here. I was like, oh people don't do that
Starting point is 00:51:44 They don't say like how you doing your people be like what like la is not a how you do in kind of place dog I went from jersey to colorado where people tell you good morning Yeah, the first month I would go home every day and tell my roommates.

And he's the one he's like this shit's gotta end. I'm getting too many complaints about you
Starting point is 01:01:07 People are freaking out. He goes you gotta stop and then we started laughing together Like as he was telling me the story he was like he can't do that to tom. He's your brother I go he was fine. I go was a fucking 10 milligrams. He's like it's not 10 It's a hundred there were 200s But my my take from that night My the best part of that night was after I got off stage I'm fired up You know when you go you got to imagine when you go on stage
Starting point is 01:01:38 All that shit disappears from my world You fucking I'll say this you fucking murdered now you understand Murdered now think about that think about What I had in my body and what I went on stage and did It disappears when I go on stage Is wild it disappears. I had a I was in such an animal mode as a stand-up that I had to tame myself back sometimes And the only way I knew by doing it was by taking 600 milligrams
Starting point is 01:02:08 You gotta remember one thing And this is my secret and I'm giving it to the world now. I think I told it before Before I would leave for the comedy store I Do four cups of Cuban coffee Four Cuban expressos you're not gonna stop that I would do one of those at 815
Starting point is 01:02:29 A four show up ready to go. I'm showing up ready to rip your fucking head off I'm showing up on the when you drink that much espresso when you have that much caffeine in your system Cuban style With no no sugar. I won't put sugar in it. I just drink it like that strong You're on or you're already teetering On blowing up your anxiety Yeah, when you drink that strength of coffee At one shot like that. You're already teetering At that anxiety level. So while I'm driving down the hill to the comedy store my head's already fucking flying
Starting point is 01:03:06 I'm fucking flying. So I would have to take an edible to tame the animal down 400 milligrams You know, I I just became you know for me to Do that on stage. I got to do that all day Yeah, I got to be at that rpm all day revving When I get up the fucking seven in the morning and there's my dick is in my hand and I'm pissing I'm already thinking about that spot tonight
Starting point is 01:03:34 And who's gonna follow me and who I'm following and you know what I need to do to make that You know, I was telling people the other day on here. I got a bunch of emails from people gotta go back on the road I got no material. I can't even think of fucking material right now If you want I'll go out there Pop two edibles and just go up there and be silly and charge you 40 bucks I'll rip you motherfucker. You forgot these people forget. I'm a natural thief I'm a thief from the jump If you want me to go out there and just talk shit on stage for an hour, I'll talk about the Bay of Pigs
Starting point is 01:04:08 That's what I do When I'm in a tight spot with the when I was a kid whenever the cops would fucking fuck with me I'd talk about the Bay of Pigs and the cops would go like what you just Like this guy's on the floor and you're talking about the Bay of Pigs and the atrocities they did in Cuba and Kennedy's and shit I'll just go off on that shit for an hour if you want I want to be on stage and I want to be the best I could be Tom Just like when you're on stage I saw that you do that when you go out you put tickets on
Starting point is 01:04:35 Working out with tom that means don't expect dick Yeah, when you give me 20 dollars, don't expect dick. You're gonna get the whole point is like Yeah, you're gonna get my mind You're gonna get pieces of my mind and me working on the material when I ask you for 25 I'm at 80 percent When I ask you for 30 you better crazy glue your fucking toupee Because I'm in business to blow that motherfucker off of you show up with What's his name from good fellas? What's mori?
Starting point is 01:05:02 That motherfucker by that duct tape on that wig because I'm gonna blow it out. That's what I go on stage to do I don't go on stage to be mediocre. Who wants to be mediocre? I want to go on stage and fuck you up From the beginning to the end. I want you to feel something I either want you to hate me or love me at the end. That's feel even if you hate me. You're feeling something I did my job. Yeah, I did my job Totally true So, you know, that's where I'm at. That that's where the fuck I'm at
Starting point is 01:05:32 So that's why I was at that at that level now I'm so interesting to hear you like kind of reflect on this because I've never I never Knew any of this insight about your approach or like What, you know, what the edibles were doing and balancing it out with the like the the caffeine and like I I just never assumed it. I just figured you were just a guy that likes to get high, you know, I mean No, but there's actually more there's more to it. No, I listen man. I was raised Catholic I was raised to be a nerd One day I went off the beaten path when I was 12 or 13
Starting point is 01:06:08 And I smoked pot and I realized that it was the answer to all the problems I had my anxiety my insecurities It it elevated me a little bit and I enjoyed what it did to me. I really liked the ride. I didn't like alcohol Cocaine was a pain thing. My main thing always was rifa Since the age of I think I committed to marijuana at 16 without alcohol Yeah, like I think I thought when you drank with rifa you ruined it So, yeah, yeah, I loved weed. I loved weed
Starting point is 01:06:44 Until this one point like I stopped I smoked In college, I would say pretty much every day And then I got here and it was the same and we would do just bong rips like in our apartment and then I remember one day I can't like specify the exact incident, but I remember having like a tremendous anxiety episode And it really put me off Well, what ended up happening was like I just didn't smoke for a while
Starting point is 01:07:14 But then the next time I smoked my tolerance Had gone down so far That it was like another anxiety episode. So I kind of avoided it. You know, I mean like for a while like in my late 20s early 30. I mean, I would do it like sporadically, but I just felt like so anxious every time I smoked and now I haven't really smoked In a long time But I keep doing the mild edibles because it kind of gives me that buzz that I like
Starting point is 01:07:42 And that it helps me with going to sleep But it's not too strong where I feel fully fucking panicked, you know, I'll tell you what I've been working with lately Because I experiment, you know me. I'm a fucking scientist. Yeah, of course. So what I've been doing about a week ago My peep sent me a tincture. It's a thousand milligrams in this bottle Do you know I was putting half the bottle in my fucking tea some nights But I thought about something, you know, Felicia Michaels has Crohn disease Okay, and she had a doctor that was a stomach doctor. What do you call those oncologists or whatever? No, that's a gastroenterology gastro. So I can't even say the word. I'm not even gonna bother
Starting point is 01:08:27 So I was talking to him her her one night And we were talking about smoking reefer and she goes she gave up eight years ago For two reasons she longs And she's a runner You know, she didn't want to And I go, so what do you do to get high and she goes I got the best high in the world and she gave me a tincture she put it with club soda And
Starting point is 01:08:51 She goes you're gonna get fucked up after about two hours. I'm like this lady's retarded I knew this shit wasn't gonna work and I gotta tell you something about three hours later. It hit me like a fucking ton of bricks So I've been taking that same thing and instead of wasting it in the tea I put it under my tongue uh-huh And brother within the hour It's nappy noo noo time In a big motherfucking way. That's why I don't wake up at night no more. I use these glasses to sleep
Starting point is 01:09:22 these uh goggles these Blue blocks goggles. Yeah, you put them behind your head and it blacks out everything. I have been sleeping like a baby For the last month. I You know for years, I didn't Whenever I would gain weight. I knew it was because I'm not sleeping Yeah, monday's wednesdays. I was doing that podcast Thursday I was getting up at four to go to fucking a city and friday
Starting point is 01:09:49 I was doing radio in that city at four in the morning five six You know, you're off your fucking schedule. I would even if I drink water. I would gain five pounds that weekend Yeah, and I would fucking bang my head and go. I didn't eat dessert. I didn't do this. I didn't do that Dude, do you know that the biggest weight gain that I probably went through? was when I started featuring nationally like Like traveling to feature week after week because my I like you I wouldn't sleep You're making no money. So you're like stressed out and you're you're still doing like You know, they make you still do like press and all this shit and like I would gain like 30 pounds in a year
