What's happening you bad motherfuckers welcome to a beautiful
Monday, July the 26th
We got one more week left in the year and out of the year the fucking month
And that's it this fucking summer is cooking motherfuckers like I knew it would I knew this summer was gonna move
Just think about it next Sunday
Will be two months to the release of the fucking Sopranos
So it's moving fucking fast. It's real and it's on cocksuckers. I've been having a great time lately. I
Feel good until this afternoon when I go back and they're gonna do a left side
They're gonna fucking rip it up and whatever, but like I said, I'm getting I called them up and told them I was traumatized
So I'm gonna get a little fucking laughing gas not the reefer. I don't smoke before the dentist
Don't forget to support laughing gas. You guys are fucking it's almost done. It's almost done the new fucking stock will be out in 10 days, but
Please keep supporting Zeke the weed is fucking tremendous. I was telling Mike. I'm starting to get fucking blitzed
Blitzed Friday fucking night. My wife and daughter went out to a fair. I got home by 6 30. There was no dinner
You know, I'm like, huh, I'm not really that hungry. I go, you know what man? I've been getting I've been getting to the point
I've been getting so fucking stoned that night that I got to be honest with you guys. I fucking I
Co-op said remember when I used to the stories on Rogan about the fucking
The fucking cheese doodles how I would stop I couldn't stop eating them and I'd wake up in the morning and there'd be fucking
Pirates booty everywhere. I'm not eating the pirates booty, but I'm fucking eating at night not big meals
Not like LA sandwiches. There's no salami. There's no prosciutto. I told my wife not to buy no cheese. Nothing. It's apples. It's protein bars. It's
Let fucking Friday night. I had a bagel. I had a cinnamon bagel with butter. I was so fucking hungry
So I'm not eating like meals. I'm just eating a little something to go to bed and I'm sleeping like a fucking champ
Look at me. I'm losing weight. I'm still on the fucking
I got nine more pounds and I can fight in the UFC. Can you fucking believe that nine more pounds? I'm two
70 fucking four. I'm squeezing them out one at a time. But who gives a fuck
My gums got swollen again over the fucking weekend. So I don't know
What the fuck is going on? My health is good. I'm feeling good
And what I want to talk to you guys about is something that I've read lately a lot
I'm getting a lot of messages from people
It's been a long time and I knew it that this pandemic because I went through it a lot of people picked up bad habits during this fucking
pandemic we discussed this a few weeks ago, but wow
I'm getting calls from dear friends of mine that are coming clean now telling me what they went through the fucking pandemic
I had a buddy from Colorado who I speak to
Who's been clean from cocaine longer than I have and
He fucking relapsed during the pandemic like that last November
He just called me about a week ago and came clean with me that he had to go back to a fucking rehab because I talked to him
Like every two weeks. He's a dear friend of mine from when I started comedy
He's never been on the podcast. Nothing like that. He's a fucking electrician, you know
But with dear friends
I love him to death
but when he fucking told me because
He was the one that tried to help me get off the fucking coke
When I got off it back in 2007, you know, he was making calls from me
He's like you sure you don't want to go to a rehab
He was captain rehab at the time by the way, you know those dudes that fucking get clean and go all in
This is why I'm in fucking shock
but I guess this pandemic fucking just he said he was bored and
He went to a kid's house that he shouldn't have been at his house and the kid whipped out some coke
And he said that he watched the guy do it and he thought about it for two days
It's fucking weird because I'll tell you what somebody hit me up the other day and was
Asking me throughout this whole
Period that I've been going through whatever I was going through
That it was a good time for me to do coke was I doing coke or did I consider doing coke?
And I'm like not at all and that was the last thing on my mind, you know
I mean and he's like really and I'm like, yeah, no, there's been nothing
No thoughts of it, you know when I got off the coke. I got off the coke. They did me a fucking favor
That was a 28 year itch that was fucking destroying me
And you know what like some people say to you and I if you keep doing this listen, I was gonna die
There was no I was getting jolts in my spine. I was doing a bunch
It was you know, I downplayed my addiction because it was a long time ago
I downplayed my addiction, but let me tell you something after I got clean about eight months. I
Talked to this guy Byron in LA. He's a
drug
Certification type guy that helps like fucking actors and people with a lot of fucking money get clean
I met him at the comedy store and
98 99 and then we you know, he was like a friend of Ralphies and
I met him through Ralphie and
After I got clean
He reached out to me and he's like, hey man, I always knew you were fucked up on something
He goes I could see it all over your face and stuff, but I didn't know
You know what you were doing. We went out to lunch and I
Told him the amounts. I was doing he he was like, what were you doing a gram? I was I go dog
I was doing a gram just to open up
You know once that wore off in an hour. I
Could do a gram in one fucking line. So once that wore off in an hour
I would sometimes hold off
But sometimes I get another fucking gram and I would do it and the other fucking knows one shot deal
Towards the end of my fucking before I got clean. I was a mess. There was heroin involved. There was cocaine involved
There was I don't know if there was no there was no pills
It was just basically cocaine and heroin I was going back and forth in between the both of them and nobody knew
One person knew about the heroin. He's dead now. So he came that you know
He was the one that was mailing it to me and none of my friends knew I mean
It's not something that you could tell Rogan or Tom Segoro or you know, anybody. I wasn't saying shit to anybody
But what's really funny is that even my buddy in Colorado was like
Listen man, I had to go back to therapy
And I'm like you went back to there was that bad and he goes. Yeah
I was doing a couple eight balls on the weekends and shit like that
So he asked me he said did you go to therapy when you got clean?
And I was like, no, I just journaled I went online and I looked for
withdrawal symptoms of cocaine and whatnot and
There weren't really any, you know, I read up as much as I could there was three aspects of
The rehab and that's the mental the physical withdrawals and then your spiritual, you know that this is all things you got to cover
And again, I'm not talking about fucking a and a and nothing like that. That's always there. That's always gonna be there
but I'm talking about the fucking how
Therapy has helped me now like I never
Thought that I would be here talking to you motherfuckers about therapy. I guys I would never even think about it
I got there a pie is one time. I went to therapy one time
I'll be strictly honest with you guys when I was at BCTC at the halfway house
One of the stories I was telling on
Whatever was that when I was a BCTC one of the things I forget to drop on you motherfuckers is that I
Got one of the hot you ways I gave when I was telling you guys the story the other day
What they did was they made me go to an outpatient place. I forget what the name of it was
It was like six weeks and between me and you it was a fucking rip-off like I never I
Looked at that rehab and I was like that rehab
Did nothing for me
It don't think it did was aggravate me and make me snort more. That's what that rehab did that rehab was just like a fucking band
They didn't do anything and I think the therapy that they were using was getting me fucking hot
The lady there was it got to the point where I wouldn't even say nothing. I would just go there at nights
It was like from six to nine with a little breather in between and I had a chick there from the halfway house
We would go outside in between the fucking break and take a hit off a fucking joint and from time to time
She'd let me lick a little monkey and she'd fucking give me a fucking hooter
Unbelievable in the middle of fucking therapy. We'd walk out to say we were gonna go smoke a cigarette
I didn't even smoke back fucking then so I didn't smoke in the fucking half way
I didn't start smoking till I moved to LA in 97. That's a complete different bag of fucking worms
But I never really liked therapy. I was like what the fuck
Whenever they would do the I didn't mind the the group the fucking group because you don't have to say shit
You learn more from fucking listening. I dig that shit
I didn't like the one-on-one with her
She would always pick a shit and she would instigate stuff and she would bring up stuff
That had nothing to do with the fucking price of eggs. It's like I was watching the Sopranos
Years ago and you know, they got to the point where Dr.
Melphie was telling Tony that maybe he wanted to fuck his mother that all that that's when I you lose me
That's when you lose me when you start bringing your mother and you start fucking
Talking about, you know, I mean, no
There's things that are on your mind and there's things that are
In front of you. I don't like picking shit like I don't like somebody saying to me
Well, how did you feel about this in 2001? That that's dead. I don't even think about that shit
You want me to dig it up to deal with it, but there's nothing to deal with I don't even think about it
So why am I dealing with it? You understand trying to say to you people? Well, you know, how did you react to losing your daughter into?
I reacted by fucking getting high until the pain went away. That's what happened the pain went away
I stopped getting high and I moved the fuck on. That's what I think fucking happened
I don't know what else fucking could have happened. You just the pain ain't there no more
The necessity is not there anymore and I stopped doing the fucking coke, but I didn't think
That me going to talk to somebody was gonna I thought that it would fucking aggravate me
I thought I would just get fucking aggravated boy was I fucking wrong, you know
Three months ago two months ago when I was going through my thing of the panic attacks on whatever somebody recommended to me
That I speak to somebody and I was like, uh, it took me like a month to think about it. And I said, you know what a
Lot of people have gone through mental health issues during this pandemic
You know, it's just not me, you know for me not to fucking address this
That's the fucking felony when you don't address it
Let me do what I need to do. You know, I I read about
Psychologists and I read about everything and I just wanted to start off with a simple therapist
I didn't want to fucking pick my brain or get me fucking upset. I was just I just wanted to keep it fucking light
I didn't want to go to anybody's office. I didn't want nobody, you know
So I want I'm better help better help calm is fucking tremendous
Somebody referred me to it a dear friend that was going through a similar situation
She told me to call and contact a certain therapist. I went online. I paid the fee
I think it's fucking $80 a session or something like that $60 a session
It doesn't kill you and if you want an extra session a week, it's 25 bucks. It's not
Bad, I went into it thinking ah
Ah
And I got to be honest with you
I'm here today because of that fucking third voice and I turned to a lot of friends of mine
I turned to people who really knew me for help, but I wanted an unbiased opinion
I wanted somebody who did not see my face when we talked to tell me what I was going through
I didn't want to get or him to get fucking by videos or
From stand-up. I didn't go in there with that. I wanted to talk to them as a normal
Playing Jane as I moved on with the therapy
I opened up about comedy and what was going on and blah blah blah
And now she still doesn't know who the fuck I am
She calls me Jose. So that's great as long as she calls me Jose
That's great. She doesn't know who the fuck I am, but I've opened up to her
Not about
Like it wasn't like the therapy from fucking uh that rehab not at all
This has been I do the talking
She asked a few questions
And I fucking
You know do the homework she gives me a little bit of homework
I write whatever things down. I tell you what man
I feel a lot fucking better. I got it off my chest
Whatever I have I'm very vocal with my wife
Unlike how I used to be I'm very vocal with my wife
I tell her whatever the fuck is going on. I tell her what I'm thinking
She knows
About fucking everything. I came clean with her before we moved here
And once we moved here she helped me out. Listen, man
What happened during the pandemic was this
And for me it wasn't the booze or the reefer for me towards the end. I saw what happened to me
You know, nobody had a place to be
Nobody had a place to be during the fucking pandemic think about it. This is what happened. Nobody had a place to be
So if you started drinking at five, which I got nothing but love for you this I have a thousand friends
That have rules
And I love you for having those rules the same rules I have
But people who were drinking at five
Now started drinking at one
That know where to be I thought I did the same fucking thing
You know, I had no where to be what's wrong with fucking getting fucking schnizzled
I smoked so much during this fucking pandemic
That it forced me to fucking quit like that was the fucking like I couldn't even like this again
Like I'm gonna get high again. That's how high I was during the pandemic. I didn't want to feel I was just like you guys
You know, hey, listen, man, I put my pants on one leg at a time like you motherfuckers
There's nothing special about me. I ain't smarter than you motherfuckers. I I'm not more educated than you motherfuckers
In fact, I'm more street than you motherfuckers. I just you know, I'm that's it. It was just the only thing available to me
Was the reefer I didn't I didn't drink. I think I had
Three drinks during the pandemic the first drink I had was on rogan on when I did the july the fourth podcast with him on the
JRE we did a shot of whiskey I didn't drink but my smoking
Was totally out of control forget about the edibles
I was eating edibles. I didn't even know I had I was eating
You know, we were eating 2000 milligrams at night. No, no, no
I was doing a batch in the daytime and a batch at night when I got here
August 19th last year. I got here with a jar
I had a fucking jar of abx 200 that he just sent me
It was just a jar and I still remember eating four of them
Just to go to a fucking pool when we were in summer set
Four that's 800 milligrams at 11 o'clock just to go fucking swimming
And then at night I would come back from the pool. We would go fucking look for furniture, whatever
Before we moved into this house. I was eating
1600 milligrams a day
Of fucking thc. I was smoking maybe an eighth
A day and I was probably doing
Six to eight footballs a day. I was the little xanax the appraisal lamb whatever the fuck that is
That's not fucking good
And I went off those things. Let me tell you something when I got here
My wife said something to me
My wife says you haven't been out and I go listen between the edibles
The fucking xanax
The fucking reefer the fucking anxiety. I cannot take it no more
That is why I had the surgery a lot of people the surgery
Was for me to get clean from the xanax
So
I took the fucking I knew I was gonna get surgery
I fucking did it perfectly. I think I got my whole life together
I think I had a long talk with myself like maybe september 17th
We went out to dinner one night
And I realized how high I was during fucking dinner and I go that's it. This goes
To an end. This is done
I came home. I called my man Byron
I told him Byron. I fucking uh
I started eating those little fucking footballs and I could kick them like in my I could kick them but
When I went online, they said you could die xanax and alcohol
You could fucking have a reaction and die if you just quit at cold turkey
And then I heard from a friend of mine a chick
That she quit xanax and one day she just passed out in the kitchen
And she ended up going to the hospital and they told us that you have to tape her off
So I got what they said I called my man Byron
Byron said this is this could be really easy
Or this could be really hard
He goes, I'm gonna give you a plan
And I want you to stick through it to the tee
If you can't control yourself then give the pills to your wife
And I did a tapering plan with him
He got me some amino acids, you know, I had to order some amino acids. I had to order some calm
Whatever I had to order a couple nutrients. He put me on
And I did exactly what he told me to do. He told me it's going to be a 90 day
Taper
And he goes, you're not going to take him out on the daytime
That's why I started meditating. That's why I started doing a little fucking
Yoga stances, you know when I had dr. Belize on the church
I didn't have dr. Belize on there because I didn't believe in breathing or meditating
You know the piece that I have that piece from boss rooting
I have it upstairs because I use it before I go to bed at night
I have a mouthpiece from boss rooting
That I've been using just to for my lung strength, you know, I started using it for jiu-jitsu
And I realized that it helps me out for everything
You know, sometimes I hit the bag and I put the mouthpiece in it's fucking tough to do it takes a while to
Get breathing but now since I lowered my smoking
The breathing is tremendous, but I just read on yahoo that if you
Breathe through that piece for five minutes and take your blood pressure lowers your blood pressure. So what did I do?
I fucking tried it. I got the fucking thing. I got the blood pressure machine
I did the blood pressure test. It was 148 the first time
I fucking breathed on it for 10 minutes. I got back on the blood pressure machine. It was 128. It dropped 20 fucking points
So
breathing
Is key here when I put dr. Belize on that show a lot of people were like that
Why'd you put dr. Belize on that show and I told people I go
I really believe in the benefits of just breathing
Breathing correctly. That's why I had the surgery on my nose. Yeah
I wanted to remove some of the old coke rocks that were in there not letting me breathe
And I was also addicted to affrin
But that's why I had the fucking nose surgery because I wanted to get back to breathing
Naturally that that was very interesting that we we breathe naturally to will like our teen years
And then we break away from breathing. I look at my daughter's breathing. My daughter could run for fucking two hours
That little fucking kid could run for two hours and she's not breathing mouth breathing or anything
She's just just living her fucking life. So I knew the breathing part of it was important
And then the anxiety I had I had to learn how to just deal with it with breathing and it was
Tough guys. It was very tough. I'm not gonna lie to you. I used to come in here and do downward dogs
I used to come in here and just sit keep the lights off
And just breathe
And that helped me a ton. But when I got off the fucking Xanax
I just stuck to Byron's plan. That was it
It went from he goes forget about doing six anymore. Let's get back to basics
Why are you eating these and at what time I go as soon as my heart beats? He goes, no
I want you to breathe it out the first time. He goes, what we're gonna do is this we're not gonna do any
until three in the afternoon
And then if you need one pop one
And then oh, no not pop one pop a half
He took me back that way and then he goes that night. I want you to eat a half
And just keep so I started with just I went from six
To maybe two a day
And then after two weeks
He cut it down to one
And then he kept me on one even though I didn't want my dog. I don't even need these no more
He goes finish the fucking prescription
Finish it. He goes. I want you to finish it and
Go to a half and then a quarter
And I stayed with a half like a month
And I think I stayed with the quarter until
mid-december
And my goal was new years
And I think I got off the fucking Xanax
December 18th December 19th
And I had my surgery January 8th because I didn't want to cross
The Xanax with the fucking pain pills. I did my fucking work. There was no way
I wasn't across my Xanax addiction with the pain pill addiction. That wasn't happening
What I started doing also was upping my fucking uh
I said fuck this edible shit in the daytime. It ain't fucking working
So I'll start doing them at night. That's when I was drinking those teas. I got hooked on those teas
With the 900 fucking milligram. I did this correctly for the tea guys
Uncle joey's always thinking if you're fucking hooked on something. I'll get you off. It's gonna be rough
I always told you motherfuckers
That with those abx things you could get off any fucking opiate
I told you motherfuckers this and I proved it to you. I proved it to myself with it
So I started in taking larger amounts
I mean I I passed fucking abx. I was probably doing 1600 milligrams. I was doing the whole fucking syringe
And a couple fucking addables I was putting melatonin in that motherfucker
This was michael jackson tea to the motherfucking hilt
But this is what I had to do to get off the and I didn't I didn't want to get a stroke
I didn't even need the Xanax no more
I didn't want to get a stroke and I kept popping a quarter a quarter a quarter
And I said, let's see when I think I saved like five of them
Just in case I pussied out
I didn't eat one of those things till I got back from the surgery
I needed one one day before fucking
PT but that was the only Xanax I had that crossed with the fucking pain pills
And I did the same thing with the fucking pain pills
Once the pain pills I started cutting them down
I fucking zipped up the edible intake
And fucking that's how I passed out at night. You just fucking go down. You don't even remember the Xanax
You don't remember the pain pills the oxys. You don't remember shit
And that was my recipe to get me off all that shit
But I still had a little residue
In me from the fucking Xanax addiction and I'm gonna tell you something. I didn't even I had no idea
Till I started talking to my girl over at better help
That's when we started talking she goes what else has been going on in your life. Why
Why don't you want to do stand up and all this shit and this is my main
When I called better help it wasn't for drugs. It wasn't for
Edibles it wasn't for weed. It was none of that stuff
It was just to help me comprehend what I was going through. I didn't know what I was going through. I didn't know if it was
The fucking the move I didn't know if I was unhappy with my new surroundings
I had no fucking idea what was going on. I wanted somebody to push me in the right direction and from talking to her
After about three weeks. I was like, okay. I have to accept all these new changes in my life
There was a thousand new fucking changes
From where I eat Chinese to where I go to the gym to how I shit to how I fucking pee
You know what floor I go on, you know, I used to shit with an open bathroom
Now I shit with a bathroom with no windows big difference
I got anxiety in the bathroom with no fucking windows. So I had to switch upstairs to shit upstairs
You know, these are all little things I had to go through
And now 11 months later. Do I feel fucking comfortable in my own skin?
Yes, I do. Do I feel comfortable in my home?
Yes, I do. Do I feel comfortable in my new life? Yes, I do. Am I
Happy about not doing stand up. I am I was thinking about it this weekend on saturday morning
When I woke up saturday, I came out my daughter was watching tv downstairs
I usually I changed my whole life around like one of the things I definitely had to do was stop getting coffee
And jump around the computer
It was fucking ruining my day
And I had no idea just getting a cup of coffee and sitting in front of the fucking computer is no bueno for you
I was getting so what I started doing was getting a cup of coffee and going outside
Rain, snow, shine, sleet. I'm out there. If it's 10 degrees, I'm out there
I don't smoke weed in the morning. I go out there with a cup of coffee and I just focus on the trees
And I focus on breathing and that's where I come up with the five things I'm grateful for today
Some days it's the sun
Some days it's the trees some days. It's the little red bird. I see in the fucking tree. I'm always grateful for something
it's
Ever since Ari told me to do that that's helped
a ton
Realizing what you're grateful for every day and every day you're grateful for something different
Some days you're grateful that you have a big dick some some days you're grateful. Thank god. I got a little dick
I would have slammed my dick in the fucking door if I would have had an eight inch dick, you know
You got to be grateful for the little things. It's not your bank account. It's not your car. It's not a piece of ass
It's your surroundings
Jesus, it's a beautiful fucking day to be, you know, I can't say that enough to you motherfuckers because
I want you to know how many people I hear call me and go today was a bad day. Listen
When you really think about it
It isn't really a bad day unless you get hit by a fucking car and fly 80 feet in the fucking air
Think about how bad of a day did you have your newspaper didn't come?
You know, my friend told me the other day they sent me the wrong refrigerator. That's not a bad day
You got the fucking refrigerator. You know what I'm saying? I mean we have to start defining what a bad day is
And a great day is this is the same shit. I was doing we're all fucking doing this shit
How bad of a fucking day was it bad enough for you to fucking go have 50 fucking drinks? Come on
Give me a fucking breather. Was it that bad? No
You just had a hiccup in your day. We're all pre-programmed to have these beautiful fucking days
They're not gonna all be beautiful
You know how many times I get up in the middle of the night and stub my fucking toe
And the wood goes in between your fucking toe the fungi toenail. That's pain
And even then I don't fucking cry about it. I just go. Oh, fuck it. It could have been worse
I could have been walking down the street and the safe could have hit me in the fucking head, you know
It's there's always something that's worse
You know for you to fucking lose your mind. Hey listen, I'm from the same fucking school of thought, you know
I've had bad days and good days, but lately I've had a lot better
Good days than bad days and it took me 58 fucking years
to realize this shit that
Your good days are every fucking day. Who gives a fuck?
So this guy was late. Who cares? It's not enough to ruin your fucking day
Ruin your day is finding your mother on the floor dead with her arm purple
That's a that's a day ruiner right there. You know what I'm saying?
Fucking somebody's shit in your mouth
That's a fuck somebody's sitting you down and shit in your mouth. That's a fucking bad day right there
But you know
That the oven came the other day. I was like my oven fucking blew up about two weeks ago
My wife was cooking enchiladas and the oven went down
So, you know right away. You're like an oven. We're gonna fucking be hit there
We're gonna have to rub sticks together and fucking an oven. You can't order a fucking oven
My wife found a place that had ovens
In stock. She goes for starters. Show me what's in fucking stock
All right, so we were panicking on friday the oven was coming the oven's coming. We can't do nothing. I'm like, oh, whoa
You got the world by the fucking balls. You can do whatever the fuck you want the oven's not coming
The oven with they gave us the window from two to six. Who the that's four fucking hours
We got to sit here like a bumpy. I go go run some errands. I'll sit here and we'll switch
You know, then we my wife had plans. She's like the oven's not gonna come to you know, because
Whenever you're waiting for a package that always comes in that last fucking window
They tell you 10 to 2 you're gonna get a 10 to fucking 2 you're gonna get a 10 minutes to 2
It's not 10 to 2 they tell you 10 to 2
They're like the package will be there from 10 to 2. No one it's gonna be here at 10 to 2
That's what you're fucking trying to tell me
So we waited. We're like, what if this fucking oven?
Comes at 6 o'clock. Well
Then you fucked my wife is fucked. We got a call the oven came at fucking 4 o'clock. It took half hour
My wife and I I'm like, it's not gonna ruin your day. I was just gonna ruin your day
It's just a bump in it. You had the morning to do what you had to do
You have the afternoon to do what you got to do. We have to start recognizing what the fucking triggers are
Was it that bad for you to get anxiety and these are all the things that this therapist helped me with
These are all the little fucking things. She didn't come in over all my life
Well, tell me I couldn't eat corn anymore. You know these people you can't eat meat
You got what the fuck are you talking about?
Everything was beautiful in my life. I just had a little fucking hiccup
and I had to push through and
Contacting somebody and talking to somebody. I gotta be honest with you
Was the best thing I've done in years I feel a lot better. I feel lighter
Uh, the medication they put me on seems to be working. I'm not losing my fucking mind
I don't feel like killing myself. I haven't even had a negative fucking thought. In fact, I'm addressing
Negative thoughts better. I recognize them when they pop up. I know how to fucking deal with them
And these are all the tools they just give you coping skills. You know, it has such a fucking stick stigma
Therapy it has such a bad stigma to it
Even towards me. I had a bad fucking
Stigma, but after a few weeks, I used to get anxiety waiting to get on the phone with her
Like waiting to fucking get on the phone with her. I would get like a little bit of anxiety and then I told the ones
I told the right. I go, you know, I get anxiety before I talk to you. She goes do this this this this she told me what to do
Now I look forward to fucking seeing her. You know, I was getting
The only thing I'm having I'm still having a little problem with
It's the social anxiety. I'm still having my problems at that
The numbers are going back up now the fucking Delta variant the Chinese variant the Cuban variant
They're gonna listen. They don't want this fucking thing to go away. So, you know, they want everybody to get vaccinated
They don't want this thing to go away
I still have
Little issues socially, you know, like I'm looking forward
To go to guns and roses on the 11th and 12th of september. You know, I don't care how many people are there
If somebody has tickets for the fit that met life
I'm not saying I'm not gonna go but I'll consider going. I think we have plans that day already, but I would consider going
uh
Stand up
I'll tell you what guys
I was a little burnt up on stand up. I was burnt
What I did was I recognized
about the stand up what was getting to me
And uh
I've been doing a lot of fucking writing
the last
Five months. I've been doing a lot of writing
Between notes for the book for Erica, you know looking into my life
I've been doing a lot of fucking writing
and
One thing I've noticed in the journaling one thing that's kept me alive has been the journaling and making new discoveries about myself
You know and one thing about the stand up is
I wrote out all the things that bothered me about stand up. What was going on, you know
And I think the thing that bothered me the most was this
Before 2012 2011 before I popped up on the board
You gotta remember guys I had been a comic already for
13 14 years
Was there any success
Yes, I had my bright spots, you know, I had my bright spots as an actor
I hadn't had any bright spots as a comedian. I felt that nobody really wanted me as a comic
But I also felt that I wasn't given a hundred percent of what I could do
My comedy changed
When I went from zingers
To storytelling I became a better comic
And I had more
My mind was more involved in it. I'm not a good writer
I'll be the first one to raise my hand
And say I'm not a great comedy writer. Anthony Jeselnick, Rogan
Bill Burr, Bill Burr's mind for comedy is brilliant. Uh
As a couple comics
John Mulaney, I'm a fan of their writing
I've never been a fan of my writing. I am who I am and I'm I'm proud that I have my own style
But there were things that
Stand up weren't agreeing with me. I think the number one thing that was bothering me was
Waking up in a hotel room on a Saturday morning. I didn't really dig that no more. I didn't dig the
You know, I like fucking eating breakfast out. I fucking love that. I love going to a different town and
Eating their restaurant, you know, like their local restaurants, not a chain, but like family restaurants
I loved all that shit, but I hated waking up in a hotel on Saturday mornings
I hated that whole fucking day, you know
Then I started doing theaters and it made me it forced me to travel on Saturdays
Which was interesting at first
But after a while it burned you out a lot more taking those if you got to take a plane on thursday
Saturday and sunday you're fucking burnt by the time you get back on sunday
Your back feels like because you've been sitting for three fucking days. You flew there
You know, you either drove to the gig like when we did new york
We had to get up the next morning at 10
And be on a fucking four hour train to boston
But at the time I got to boston my back was fucking wrecked, you know, it was just fucked and wrecked
So all those things I didn't like I didn't like I don't want to do saturdays no more
So if I do comedy I got to do it differently. I didn't like saturdays anymore
I don't think I could do a late fucking show on a friday and saturday no more than a ten o'clock show
That's dead. So if I get back into comedy, it would have to be during the week thing
An early show, you know two shows during a week tuesday and wednesday
Um
It's not my life anymore
It would be a hobby
It would be a hobby
I would start off strong with it, you know, just to get my material back my half hour my 45 minutes
Which I have been making notes by the way. Have you know anything about me?
I have not lost my sense of humor, you know, and I have not lost my
Saying shit, you know
You know like little fucking dirty things to myself and writing them down
I'm still one of those dudes. I'm making notes. I I looked at my comedy the other day
I probably got 22 minutes of material once I write it all out, but
I'm not in the mood to fucking go out there yet when I'm in the mood and I'm ready
You'll be the first to fucking know but that's this was all little things
That were contributing to my anxiety and I had no fucking idea
Till I spoke to somebody so what am I telling you today on a monday morning that
listen guys
We all have fucking little quirks going on with us and now more than ever with this pandemic
You know
We forgot how to act we're not acting right right now a lot of people are acting fucking crazy planes
You read about it. You hear about it. I heard about a fist fight at a fucking nice restaurant the other day
A friend of mine told me was at a restaurant the fucking a lady got up and smacked the waitress right here
Fucking northern new jersey a friend of mine was that in hobo? I mean, it's just
It's just crazy the things you hear and we're all going through our different things and it's gonna get worse
You know the rent fucking things are coming to an end
All these things, you know a lot of people having a hard time. Listen, man. I
I'm the type of guy that
I dealt with shit all my life and moved slowly this pandemic
Fucked me up a little bit. I mean, I've gone through
The mill I've gone through it with my mother. I divorced the addiction. You know, I lived in a rocket ship
I mean, I've fucking been through
hell and back
But this pandemic fucked me up a little bit
It showed us things that we didn't need to see
It showed a lot of us things
That we didn't need to see I became an only child again
You know, I was raised an only child and then somewhere throughout life
I've forgotten all about that this pandemic reminded me. I was an only child
It got me back to talking to myself and thinking to myself
But in a good way it got me to open up my eyes a lot of people have opened up their eyes
How many people are not going back to their fucking jobs?
How many people are just saying fucking i'm switching careers?
You know in a way, this is what happened to me also
I just switched careers. I like podcasting
I still like acting but to stand up just
The whole thing wasn't rubbing me the right way. I needed this break. There's nothing
Wrong with taking a break. There's nothing wrong. We're coming out of the fucking closet
Nothing wrong with coming out of the closet and that's what I did. I came out of the closet
Not as a gay man
I'm identifying as a man that doesn't want to do comedy no more
I don't want you motherfuckers to think that you always just said he came out of the closet. No
I'm not in that closet at all. I would I would love to be gay. I can't you know what I'm saying
I would love to hold the man's hand and look him in the eye and say suck my dick
But I still haven't come up with the heart to do that. So for right now. I'm not coming out of the gay closet
I'm just coming out of the closet that I was unhappy. I was unhappy about a lot of things
And I didn't fucking know him and I'm happy I made the fucking adjustments, you know
So what I'm trying to say is I'm happy. I started talking to somebody if you're going through something
listen, man, and
I've looked they have
Adjustable prices for your income
You know, like you write down what you make a year and no work with here
I'm sure if you tell these people you're on unemployment
They have a special unemployment rate for you, you know
$12 or whatever the fuck it is this ain't gonna put you out
But it's not worth going through life twisted
For you not to spend 25 bucks to talk to somebody for a half hour. I mean my meetings are only a half hour
That's it. I can't I can't talk to somebody longer than that a half hour and that's fucking it, you know
We got everything covered in a half hour. I usually jump on the phone with a monday's
You know, like this week is 9 30 in the morning on monday. I'll be out the phone with about 10 o'clock
And I enjoy the conversation. I write down my notes
She gives me a little homework now when I talk to a monday the homework will be ready
And I feel a lot happier, you know a couple people my friend Derek a couple guys have said
That my snap is coming back on the podcast and I gotta be honest with you. I'm feeling it. I'm feeling uh
I'm feeling the change coming off me. So I want to thank you guys
If I have in my back during this whole time
You just could have turned your back on me and a lot of years didn't a lot of years
Knew I was a wounded fucking deer and you said, where's this motherfucker gonna take it?
You saw me go through my changes myself. I didn't fucking just
Sit here and wait this on me. I did the work, you know, I knew I had to quit rifa. I quit the rifa. I
Restructured my edible fucking game
You know, I came out with a new bag of fucking weed which and you know, I did different things and then ft
You know, I'm writing this fucking book, you know with Erica
This is you know writing a book is fucking rough
It's rough to drag yourself through the mud, but I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Maybe that's part of the anxiety
I don't care. I'm doing it. You know, I was having a hard time
Going through guitar lessons some weeks
Like that's how I my anxiety was now we talk all the fucking time
I play every night. I mean
Don't let this shit weigh you down
And you know
If you're not right like I knew I wasn't right. I knew
Since I started the podcast with Mike. I knew that
A piece of me was missing and I just had a
You know work through it, you know, I wish
This times I'm like fuck. I didn't I wish I didn't do the podcast in october november and december
But I needed it to get back to where the fuck I was going and little by little
I'll get all my fucking tools back and to be honest. See i'm at 95 percent now
I feel that much fucking better and it was the
Work in a fucking program. That was it. I didn't do nothing
spectacular. I didn't go to any fucking rehab. I didn't hire a fucking
What do you call those a sober buddy? You know, I didn't do none of that shit
I didn't want to go through any of that shit. I did it all myself. I got myself in this mess
I'll get myself out of this fucking mess, you know, I sent Byron a couple bucks. He didn't want none
He wanted fucking
T-shirts and shit. So he wanted to make a trade. So when I called him and he put me on the plan for the fucking
For this annex it was the best thing in the world because he
Made me jump all you know
He told me some shit too that kept me from jumping off the ledge that I had no fucking idea, you know, so
I'm happy this all worked out how it did. I'm happy. I fucking
I started the podcast again. I'm happy that I'm here fucking talking to you motherfuckers twice a week
And I'm just happy. I'm happy and I want you motherfuckers to be happy
And like I said, if I got caught up in the fucking xanax and if I'm aware of a lot of this stuff
I can't imagine
What some people did that aren't aware how fast
Things go from a to fucking z. I'm just happy that I didn't get into alcohol or coke or any of that shit
And that this was a fucking easier transition
That's it motherfuckers. It's monday
It's gonna be a fucking great week. I don't know if uh, I'm gonna look on fucking wednesday for you cocksuckers
This afternoon they're about to tan me fucking open again on this side here. I'm dreading it
But what am I gonna do? I need disinfection to go away so I could be happy. I think this is affecting my heart
and uh
It needs to be fucking done. I'm scared
But I'll go out of respect for you guys. You know what I'm saying? You just can't talk to talk
You got to walk to mother fucking walk. So
That's it. And that's that I'll be back wednesday with you motherfuckers

Because I've seen the amount of people that have reached out
With their problem one guy on patreon says he's been sober for nine fucking months that I helped him
And he had a baby. So you know things like that fucking always get my dick hard
That somebody actually got sober, you know, we talked a couple times
