In all my life. I slept fucking 10 hours if you didn't notice I didn't post till fucking
10 30 in the morning
And uh, it fucking I slept and I didn't fall asleep for like an hour you that night
I played the guitar for a while and I felt the effects coming over me and I'm like fuck
I am high as fuck and I uh
I went fucking for it
Last night I tamed it down, but something really weird happened yesterday
I did not smoke pot all motherfucking day
That's the first time I have not smoked pot
In months
No, I have not I haven't smoked pot today either. So that's the
That's the big thing. I have not smoked pot
But I did those fucking addables the other night for the tea capsules and the whole thing
Yep, three capsules and the whole fucking thing
but it was uh
It was very fucking tremendous man. It was a great night and I do that
You know, I switch it up every night because I love my fucking sleep. I don't want to
Fuck around. So that's what puts me to fucking sleep. That's what I do. That's what helps me fucking see the devil
That's what I do. So I felt great. I'm happy you guys enjoyed the little video
I want to talk to you guys about something today that maybe you've been thinking about or you haven't been thinking about
It's over
That's it
We lost 15
months
of our fucking life
Over covid. Have you thought about that? Has this hit you yet? I mean july 1st everything opens up in three states
No capacity do what the fuck you want to
So that's it
It's over. That was it 15 fucking months. I mean it was
A rough 15 months. I mean i'm happy
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. That's it. It's time to move on. It's time to fucking get on with our fucking lives. It's time to
you know
make fucking
Grief, you know, somebody you lost somebody doing this. It's time to really work on it
It's just time. We'll let let loose. It's it's I went to the shore last Wednesday
I think me and my wife are going again later on today. You know, we just we're doing more things
I'm happier and I'm a different person stand up when I'm ready. It's always going to be there
It's always going to be there when I'm ready
It'll be there
Chappelle took off for years musicians take off for fucking years
And now people want to agree to give me grief because I want to take some time off when I know it's time
I'll be ready to fucking rock between you and me guys. I've I've been writing a few jokes
Are they fucking Lenny Bruce? No, I'm not writing. No fucking nothing brilliant. But at least
I'm putting my pen on the fucking paper. Do you understand what I'm trying to say to you?
So all I'm asking from you is just to try that's it. I'm trying at least I'm playing the guitar
I'm trying to be a dad. I'm working out. I'm fucking walking
I've put walking therapy into my fucking regimen now to make this knee tougher because the muscle is kind of fucking torn
And I'm just getting through it, you know, my leg hurts, but you don't hear me bitch about it
I'm not I'm paying pills. I work at what I got. I still go to the gym. I fucking did
I am infatuated with my weight watch action points
I don't know if you guys know anything about weight watches. You get
41 points a day to eat
And then you get 44
If you go over those 41 as a reserve
And then you have 61 points
That you have to exercise
You're like Joey, how do you exercise? So if you ride the bike for a half hour
It's four points
You get four points and I don't put it in
The phone will read google walk
Will fucking put it in so right off the bat when I go in there write the bike for 30 minutes
That's four to five fucking points
I leave my phone in my hooded sweatshirt while I work out because I'm walking
So I'll pull out six points out of there if you work out with weights for 45 minutes
It's about 11 to 13 fucking points
So every week I have to get to 61 points for years. I've been hitting 61
63
62 every fucking week the last three weeks. I've been hitting fucking 70
71
74 I think last week was 74 and I didn't work out
On saturday and sunday. I did who gots I walked so I got like four points one day and I got like four points the other
I was done with my points from lifting on fucking friday
So I've been infatuated with my fucking action points lately
You know, you got to ride the bike and then I go for a fucking walk
So if I could pull down eight points or walking plus the 12 to 15 from lifting weights
Who you think you're dealing with joy bananas? I'm looking good. I'm looking smooth
I'm putting cbd lion cream on my face to get away the fucking
Scars from my fucking youth to me picking my face and scratching myself
It's a whole different life guys. So I'm very happy that this pandemic happened
I'm very happy that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I mean
Maybe I'm speaking too soon. I don't want to have to be like rogan
I have to come back and fucking retrace my fucking words and say that, you know, this shit in india is not good
So I don't know. I'm not telling you not to get back to me. I'm not saying none of that shit
What I'm saying is that there's a light at the end of the fucking tunnel right now
Whether it backfires it doesn't backfire. I don't know they're opening everything up july 1st
So we're ready to go tip top magoo and I congratulate you guys
I congratulate you guys for going through this
We've exchanged emails. We've changed tweets over this. I knew a lot of you guys had
A lot of struggles during this uh
Time frame, but hey
So far it's over. There's a fucking end if you want to go to work
There's plenty of fucking work out there
Ain't nobody going back because they're getting the big fucking 900 from unemployment. I ain't stupid. Wow
If you're giving me 900 and you want me to go back for a small nickel go fuck yourself
I'm not going back to work. I'm staying at home watching daytime television playing with my fucking chickens
I ain't mad at you. I wouldn't go back
But eventually you're gonna have to go back and eventually you're gonna have to pay that back
There's gonna be a lot of buy the ways
After this that we're not expecting so get ready for the motherfucking buy the ways by the way
We have a fucking guest today whether you like it or not

Oh, okay. You look beautiful. All right. Okay. You miss bird
Um, you know, I always miss bird. I know you miss bird. Huh? He's I miss all you guys
I miss i miss not seeing you around but I mean
Yeah, I think bird's having a good time. I think it's gonna be a really really funny movie
I think
You know, we spoke a few weeks ago and I talked to him on the phone and
He's like i'm not drinking i'm trying to add him i'm like that motherfucker
That is so not true. Oh my god. He's like, I'm not drinking the daytime
Just a glass of wine
I'm like
You he looked good, you know, he looked a world looking good. I mean, uh, yes, and he he did
Because you know leading up to leaving he was working out a lot
It was funny because he's like i'm working out like six days a week and he goes
I haven't I haven't not only not lost weight. I've gained weight
And I was like how but then you just know that he the way he eats and drinks
It's like there's no he eats good
But people don't understand is that you eat well
But you have no idea how much sugar there is in alcohol
Yeah, you have no idea until you get off alcohol
And then like now I don't drink I haven't drank in years not because i'm an a a I just don't drink
I don't like the taste of it
But there's a little pizza parlor around the corner
And I go in there for meatballs and sausage, you know, my wife, it's great
Right like tonight after softball that she's playing softball will go there
Yeah, and I always do a sangria
I always do a six-hour sangria
Fucking it's this big, but it's six weight watcher points. Oh, yeah, man. Just for a little fucking glass. So there's guys like him
Like he's that so like a lot of times whenever I'm like fat and I'm trying to lose weight
People always like they don't know but they'll be like she's cut back on your drinking
And I'm like, yeah, I don't drink man. I mean, I'm not totally sober, but I don't regularly drink and they're like, oh
and I go that
mentality would work
For like a bird like birds the kind of guy that if he was like, I'm not drinking for a month
He'll lose like 15 20 pounds
Anybody will if you stop drinking if you drink that much if you drink that much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you guys all forget
That my mother was a fucking functioning alcoholic
Yeah, and I saw her lose weight and put on weight
You know, she opened up with a heineken with tomato juice
That's how it started. Who does that? Yeah, that's savagery. You know in the morning
But why a heineken in tomato juice that was like her appetizer
And then she's high functioning. She's running a business. Yeah, she's running a business. She's thinking she's numbers, but I saw
What a functioning does but I saw when she
When she closed the bar
She just ballooned up
Really that walking back and forth behind the bar was her fucking exercise
Yeah, you know eight ten hours a fucking night behind the bar. Yeah, one she stopped
She ballooned up. She ended up in the hospital and they told her to stop drinking
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
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
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
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
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
What does joey d has need what doses do you do for going to sleep? Okay, so
I experiment, you know me I experiment with everything I have you have to experiment with yourself. So
At 9 o'clock once my daughter goes upstairs. I come right down
And I spray melatonin in my throat
From on it. I spray like 12 fucking spray
And then at 10 I come back down here and I'll take kikomo
The tincture that two milligrams thc, but like five milligram cbn
And I'll do like
Five blasts under my tongue like tinctures now cbd lion has
CBD cubes with melatonin in it
Really so now I could add that to the arsenal of sleep
So by by 10 o'clock I got melatonin in me and the tincture and then at a quarter to 11
I go upstairs because Miami vice starts at 11
I go upstairs and I fucking make my kikomo tea
Some nights I throw four capsules in there like those the ones I gave you
Yeah, like I'll go fucking 500 milligrams
Drink it come down watch 10 minutes of Miami vice
Then I'll practice the guitar
Okay, I'll practice the guitar. I'll do all my songs
And by the time I get to like fucking
Uh crazy train
Um, I could feel the edibles creeping up on me
I put the guitar back in the room. I put the pick in the drawer
And I walk right upstairs
And it's not be fucking new new time. Nobody knows dick
And I sleep like a baby. 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 talked to her for like 10 minutes
And then it's off to school and that's when my day starts
Nice
I go to the gym
Two to three times a week. I box once a week here
Um, it's been all about health and mental health since I've been back here
I had I had to get my mental back in touch that la the last
Two years in la were a little fucking rocky man, you know
For many ways many ways nothing bad. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
It's an eternity you wake up. You're sitting in a chair. You try not to watch tv
Yeah, you know, you don't watch tv. You just sit there. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. What is everybody fucking gay in this town?
I had a guy just say good morning to me wanted to suck my dick
I thought people wanted to suck my dick and rape me and shit because they were saying good morning to me
I'm from new york where nobody fucking says nothing to you
Yeah, let me make eye contact and colorado then people actually not just just say good morning
but stop
And want to talk to you. I'm 19. I'm like, I don't want to talk to you
No, I don't fucking know you. So how long have you been here? None of your fucking business
Keep fucking walking. What's the question? What are you a private investigator?
Like I swear to god, you know, what part of jersey who cares? You don't know where it is anyway
You know what I'm saying? What are you asking me for? You don't know what the fucking is anyway
Just keep walking. I mean I was that shell shock as a kid
When I got to california, I thought people were very nice. Listen, I
For me to look at you and tell you I don't miss living there. It's a complete lie. I miss certain things
Yeah, there were certain things. I really do miss about california
For my family's future. There was nothing there
Right, there was nothing there, you know, I had
Two or three years left at the store maybe
And then you're a fucking old fucking dinosaur down there amongst a bunch of young kids
You look like a fucking jerk off, you know
And I didn't want to do that. I
I'm having a great time taking time off from comedy
Tom sagura this started from in 91 for me
That's a long time, you know, right now 30 years ago. I was working at a door as a door man at a comedy club
That's wild
You know
Chappelle's been doing it. Yeah. Chappelle's been doing it longer
When I started writing jokes in 93 Chappelle was already a star
with Robin Hood men and tights
So but Chappelle took a bunch of years off
Yeah, you know, he took a big chunk off in the middle there, you know, that's a nobody and then he came back stronger than ever
That's what I'm trying to do. That's what I'm trying to explain to people that
For me every night I looked at the clock at a quarter to eight
And I go do I want to get dressed and go to one of the local comedy clubs and see russle peter's was here
Sam trippley's been here
There's been 10 comics that are my friends that have come through here. I have not gone to see one of them
For me, I had to pull myself away from comedy
Yeah, like I had to just pull myself away from stand-up podcasting. I love doing I love talking to you motherfuckers
At first it was a little hard trying to pull the bill burr
By yourself. That's a fucking nightmare podcast. Fuck that man. But I'm starting to get better at it. I like it
Just pick a subject
Ramp for 45 minutes and you know talk to the people connect with them
Let them know what you're going through and get the fuck out of that. I didn't want to smoke dope anymore
I didn't want to cross come across as an old edible fucking guy
I look at some of those old podcasts with a t-shirt on
They were just disgusting
They were disgusting when we moved out of that office that fucking carpet
Was just drug induced
Yeah, I'm sure you all you had to do is all you had to do is walk in there and sit for five minutes
And the drugs would rise off the carpet. Everything was in there. My mahogany juice
Fucking thc
Ketamine we did everything but coke in that fucking thing. Yeah, every drug was done. No, no heroin either
I mean, but it was acid acid on the sugarcone
Hash under a glass, you know, I have a new hour that i'm working out right now and um
A big chunk is uh, I have a big bit about you and me in miami. That's that's like a
A big bit in the new hour
That was I didn't sleep that night
Fuck I didn't sleep at all that night. You took fucking like a thousand milligrams, bro
I kept popping them
You know, this is what i'm talking about. I was maniac. I was
Fucking out of control
But you know what the funny thing is though, this is the funny thing and I talk about this sometimes
About you is that people that are around you like me other comedians
We don't think like we go. Holy shit. That's a lot
But we don't realize that you're fucked up. You know, I mean like
We're like, oh, I guess he just is fine. Like I had to ask you one time
I was like, do you not get fucked up and you're like, I just had three panic attacks
And I was like, oh, okay, because I was like you seem like it's not affecting you and you're like, oh, no
It's totally fucked up. I was like, oh, okay, but your tolerance was just my tolerance was so it was getting to the point
where I would eat like
100
milligram
capsule and I would be high for two hours
And then I give a capsule to you and you'd call me
After a four hour flight
Six hours later, you're still fucking high and I'm like something's not right
Yeah, man, you had me fucked up. I'm not kidding you. I took a pill
from you
on a 12 30 12 15
No earlier. Are you doing earlier? I took it like before your 10 o'clock show. It's like 9 30
I took that pill. I was fucked. I was
completely out of my mind
For let's say 16 18 hours, but I was still high
That night the following night and the next morning I was like hung over. So I was pretty much fucked up for like 30 hours
You know and you were like
You were on 10 times the amount
Josh full 78 two of them one night
And he was driving back from sandy and he goes he was gonna do the show in San Diego and drive back
He said he went to his room and he goes I'm just gonna lay down on this bed
For two minutes and get my composure before I get in the car
He said he woke up the next morning
In that position like he was dead with his arms up
He goes he just opened his eyes and he looked down. He had his sneakers on
The light was on
The tv was on you know what we never talked about we never talked about this
When I came to see you so I did my show and I came to see you
I drove across town after and I go to your show
I had Mike Cronin
who's another comedian with me
And you had told us, you know, these are 10s and so I took mine
And then I go, you know, he's with me. He's a comic. I go can I give
Mike one you're like, yeah, so Mike you want one he goes. Yeah, so he took it
Now for whatever reason for our own body composition
I get fucked up
Like pretty quickly like within
Within two hours. I know that I'm completely fucked
and you and I
We leave and when I leave Mike's not he's not fucked up
So he goes I thought he goes I just thought Tom you were just such a lightweight because I was like
I can't believe he's fucked up. It didn't you know, you know edibles like sometimes they hit people at a different time, right?
So when I left I also remember thinking like I can't believe I'm this fucked up and Mike
Is like sober. He's like fine. So you and I leave when we get on our flight to go home
I'm fucked up, you know for the next whatever like two days
Well after that, I finally call Mike and I go, uh
Hey, man. Yeah, I mean so did that not affect you? He goes, dude
He goes you guys left and I go out Tom's such a lightweight
I go back to the hotel and he goes
It starts to hit me
I end up sleeping on the bathroom floor
next to the toilet
Telling myself not to jump off the building
Because I kept hearing at something saying you need to jump off the balcony
And I go what?
He goes, dude, I thought I was gonna kill myself
And I I was like holy shit and he goes then
I I wake up the next morning like you said I wake up in the bathroom on the floor sleeping on the marble floor
He goes I get in the car and I have to drive. He's in Miami. He has to drive to his parents place in Tampa
He goes, I'm fucked up
The whole way the whole drive and when I get there
It's evening. My parents are having dinner. So I sit down for dinner and he goes
I have dinner with them and I can't really talk
I'm still like just too fucked up
So then I go to my room and he goes and my mom texts me is everything. Okay, you're not you're not you don't seem like yourself
So it fucked him up for like two days, too. It just started like two hours later
So think about that. It was if it was fucking people up for two days
Yeah, it was fucking me up for two hours. That's crazy. That's just that's not that's not normal
No, that's not normal. I'm and I know we all were like joey's not normal and I'm ashamed and and you know
So I gave you the edible
You called me at lunchtime and I could tell there was a little anger in your voice
Oh, yeah, and then that night rogan calls me and he's like
Would you do the tom dog?
And he's the one he's like this shit's gotta end. I'm getting too many complaints about you
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
That was it. That was what I was doing if you don't fucking sleep
For a guy like me. It just fucks up a ton of things, but
You look good, man. Yeah. Yeah, dog. I've been working on this. This is something
When I go back on the road, I'm gonna be ready in more ways than one. I want to be awesome
Mentally strong yourself now
Get ready for it. So when are you in austin officially may 10th
May 10th officially, yeah
And what's the rest of the year look like for you?
I mean right now I'm I'm I'm going back to you know, I'm doing clubs
I'm doing spanish and english shows right now and stand up bunch of podcasts and then
Depending on how the next like
Six weeks shapes out. I'm either going to announce a tour
In the fall that I was I've been planning for a while
Um, you know, depending on like vaccine pandemic status
We're I think we're going to announce it because things are starting to open up. So
Things are really opening up now and now
With this case out of the way
This this was a big plus, you know, however you want to look at it. Yeah
Whatever was going on in minneapolis, you know that moved on so
I think we're good to go. I think that uh, we're good to go
You know, you got to wear your bulletproof vest
You got to wear your bulletproof fucking suit with your helmet just in case somebody shoots, but
Listen, you got to live your life. No matter what's going on out there the pandemic definitely
Fucked a lot of people up and fucked me up. I'm not
Ashamed to admit it, but we're here today. We're looking good. We're moving forward
And that's all that matters. I'm going to come to austin in september
Uh coming over I'm coming over. I already made plans with burt
I talked to him before he went to fucking. How much were you drinking Serbia?
What are they drinking in Serbia right now? I mean, well, he's he's FaceTime me twice with huge glasses of wine
So I think he's drinking wine
I love you at all my heart. Thank you very much for uh doing this
I miss you at all my heart. I never meant to dose you
Even though, uh, I apologize to you. I got you back with this bit. Don't you worry about it? Okay, and then uh
I just want to remind you of the trip we took that time and we were in the fucking
Eugene oregon airport and the fucking people are coming up to us and you and me are freaking out that was

And I'm like, what is he doing to the pussy? I mean, what the fuck damage he's destroying the whole yin dynasty
Like he's setting back the ming dynasty 2000 years with that big black dick
I think about that conversation all the time
This last week, you know every morning you wake up
You open up social media and the other day I made the mistake like I usually go on yahoo first then hotmail
I'll have a system
Then twitter and then you warm yourself up for facebook because that's the worst
The other day I did the whole system and I'm like, what am I gonna see on twitter as somebody got shot
I click up and it's a white chick sucking a dick
That had to be 19 inches and it went crooked like it was like a fucking sign
She's munching on that dick and I'm like, you know, your life is fucked up at 7 30 in the morning when you wake up
You open up twitter and a chicks got 18 inches of black. I mean this dick was
