Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint.
What's happening you bad motherfuckers?
Wednesday, the 19th of fucking October,
it's moving right along.
Mike was just saying what the fuck ever since July the fucking summer went right through now
I just remember being October 1st, and it's the fucking 20th already
So you I hope you motherfuckers are making things happen me time is moving fast look at my hair
I was looking at it last night. I'm pretty much bald from here to here
I just got a little bit of hair that enough that I could it's like a glove
It's like a skunk tail like I just put this skunk tail over here and it covers pretty soon
I'm gonna be missing this whole patch of my fucking hairdo. It's uh, it really is fucking crazy
How I used to have a big fucking Jew fro now I got nothing now
I got four hairs keeping it all together who gives a fuck my hair serve be when I needed it
You know I'm saying when it's tough to get your dick suck when you're bald in 22
Especially if you got the grandpa looking hairdo like the size
That's why everybody shaves it because you just look like a fucking fool if you have the memory like and you know
The little ball circle with the hairdo over here fuck all that shit, you know I'm saying
What the fuck happened to my boy the stones no more brown sugar? When does this bullshit?
Fucking end
When does this end brown sugar?
The song is I don't know 40 50 years old right the stones been around 50
I don't I don't fucking know I know the arrow Smith celebrating their 50th anniversary next year
With a big concert up at the fucking Fenway Stadium, you know who knows but the stones got to be up there for how many years
They got to be together. I don't know how old brown sugar is but brown sugar really we can't play brown sugar no more
This is communism that listen
The biggest thing I took out of my meeting the first time I met my cousins that I really got to talk with them was maybe 10 years ago
I was driving
one day and I got a call from
The manager at the improv and she said to me that my cousins win from Cuba visiting
And they saw my name and they wanted to stop by so that night I invited them to the store and I just retweeted that my
cousin
Emmy Alfonso is singing at the Grammys or Grammy.com a music is on there. She sent me a note here down Twitter
But the one thing I took the most out of their meeting that night went to Cantors
Cantors is like a Jewish deli on Fairfax in LA fucking a little I'm more of a langus type guy
Belangas wasn't that I mean
Cantors wasn't bad. It was great, especially when you went there too in the fucking morning
So I was in there with them and they were telling me all these things about Cuba that when you get on a raft and you
Come over they throw eggs at your house
They drive by your house and throw eggs and all this shit
But they were also telling me we started talking my music, you know, I'm a music guy and
They were saying that, you know, they had the Led Zeppelin's album with stairway to heaven on it
That was their favorite album mine too and
They couldn't put it in the house. I guess they she was telling me she had the cassette and a couple
What it was was cassettes. I'm I don't mean to be fucking wrong here
They took the cassettes and they had a barium outside not even on your property
You got a barium outside of the property. Let's say your tree went up to let's say your property went up to a tree
You had a buried outside that tree so they could blame it on anybody else
But a fucking Led Zeppelin album a Led Zeppelin album
Beetle music and then years later yet Fidel was a big fan of John Lennon
So he allowed John Lennon to they put the statue up
But they weren't big music in the fucking 70s. You weren't allowed to listen to nothing
American now they have, you know, rap music and they have, you know heavy metal and they have all these groups are
What's his name Rudy Sarge will send me some videos of the heavy metal bands they had in Cuba
Holy shit. These guys are thrash metal fucking making it happen
But in the 70s 80s 90s, you weren't allowed to play fucking music in Cuba, especially anything fucking American. So
What the stones got a call from somebody one day and said they had to stop playing brown sugar and they did it
I don't think Mick Jagger's a fucking a sheep
But for him to say I'm not gonna play brown sugar anymore
I mean, it just I know Keith Richards said that he doesn't see what the problem is with the song and neither do I
It's a fucking song. I could see if it was two life crew, you know, sitting at home with my dickum hard
I got a black book for a freak to call all that shit. I get it. There's people in the room, but that's brown sugar
There's no curse words. There's nothing but if they ban that that made me fucking think that's kind of open up my eyes and go
What the fuck is next?
So anything now, I'm pro fucking words, man. I'm pro words. We're not here to be silenced
We're not here to fucking enough is enough already. I'll be a little bit crazy on this motherfucker, too
We have to be we have to be because this is this movement cannot work silence and people
You're not gonna tell me what material I can and can't do we spoke about it on fucking Monday
But this is actually gonna be a grown problem. So now I'm fucking jumping on this motherfucker
Today I had a a guest on here. That's
He's a great dude, man. I don't know how to describe Sam Sam is a kid. I saw at the store
When he first got to him on the funniest things
He was in the main room one night and he I don't think he knew it
It was like a you know, it was an older crowd for some reason and
Sam's up there doing ecstasy jokes and Chinese jokes and they're just and I'll never dog
I could live to be a hundred. These are the things you learn when you're up at the store
What material to do, you know, he did he couldn't see him. It's dark out
He's up there talking about doing a hit of ecstasy and fucking eat lollipops and drinking water and $20 and they're just looking
I'm like, we don't know what the fuck he's talking about. I loved it. You know, I saw him go through
What he went through the same thing I went through substance abuse all those years, you know
The store was you know years ago when they had a football player that was a little fucked up
They sent them to Miami. Why if the guys already got a problem, you're gonna send them to Miami
That's the way it was with us
I mean we had problems and they send you to the store where you could do anything at the fucking store, you know
I'm never listen. I'm never
Gonna tell you that I did bad things at the store. I didn't it was what was there
It was what the night called for it was what what went on down there for people to look and go
The store was a second. Listen women went down there looking for shit guys went down there looking for shit
And they found that the drugs at a different level, you know, what people were doing there. It was really an experience
It was 23 years of my life that I'm fucking proud of I'm very fucking proud to be a comedy-star comic
I'm very proud to have that moniker that Mitzi made me
I don't give a fuck about quitting high school going to jail or any that all went away when I got into the comedy store
That was the honor
It put on me and I feel fucking honorable. I know for a fact
I'm one of the Green Berets a comedy and you can't take that away from it
That's just the way it is
23 years cannot be erased by some fucking joke or some stupid shit. I will keep going forward
I don't give a fuck. That's why what's going on now with telling people what they can say and what they can't say
It's not gonna float especially with us in the county store
It's not gonna float because we were trained a different way
So please understand me understand where I'm fucking coming from and understand what I endured all those years
If people telling me that your stand-up is not gonna work here
You're too dirty of this and also I'm meant to store Mitchie Shor's telling me
I don't give a fuck if you like your asshole on fire
So think of that and that's where I grew and that's where I grew as a man and as a fucking comic
And that's how I ended up the comic that I am and listen
I might not be you know, 10 Netflix specials in and all that shit
You think I worry you think I stay up and I worry about that what I think about is what I did and
How it was a fucking it could never happen again a street guy like me doing time going to LA and saying you could all suck
My dick movies soap operas fucking games. I did it all and you can't take that away from me
Welcome Sam Tripoli to the motherfucking podcast. I hope you enjoy this fucking savage
There he is the best-looking guy in the biz you bad motherfucker, what's happening? I miss you
Surviving brother surviving in advance. That's what we're doing. What's surviving you're running things out there
Try and brother everybody left. I got to hold it down. How are you my friend? I'm great, dude
I can't complain. Look at you. I'm great. You dodged your gear for tonight
Got it ready to go. They gotta do it. It's killing me, but you know, it's Dodger baseball
They got to make it happen the other night. I'm sitting here and I'm fucking going through shit late night
I'm trying to put you know trying to write a little bit just to see what I could whip up and I was thinking of our nights
Your Tuesday night best show in LA that was showing the world, dude
That was just too fucking much on Tuesday nights the massage girl
The reefer the fucking it was just the pizzas. There was always pizzas money you
It was it's very hard to match. It's very that's never gonna happen again in our world
Well, man, I was talking to Cal and Bob today. I was like dude. Just think about like we were Kingsboro
What that used to be
How like the just just the energy in the room and like when we say it was like when I say it was the greatest show in the world
It was literally the greatest show in the world. It was the number one showcase show in the entire world
It was sold out main room two shows every other week. That's
370 tickets two shows packed out
everybody, you know just practicing the model of abundance giving it all away and
it was a blessing dude and it was an honor to be a part of it and
and
You rogan burr
Chrysler segura see how things
Theo the Lea all of it, dude
Just amazing just amazing, you know, you're not doing your show anymore
I mean Jim Florentine brought it to my attention. He goes. I don't think he's doing at the store anymore
I'm uh, you know
Things change and we're feeling we're figuring it all out. There's a couple things going on
I'm waiting to you know, have the LA comedy scene figure out its path right now and
You know, we've talked before I'm just I've been in this game for 20
I'm 48 years old. I started doing stand-up at 22 years old
it's a long time in the game and
You're kind of I'm just kind of figuring out what the direction is and all my boys are gone
So it's hard to you know, it's like it's not just about money
But it's about performing with your friends and having this amazing night and celebrating our friendship and comedy and all that stuff
And so it's not the same. So we'll see what happens. That's what it really was
You know, I would drink three expressos before I went down there on Tuesday
Cuz I couldn't bomb like I couldn't fucking bomb like there's no way you can't bomb at a triply show
I would I would do two spots and I was hoping that bomb in the original room
Do you know I'm saying cuz I would do your show and then run to the original room
Due to 10 o'clock and get the fuck out of there. So I was like if I'm gonna bomb
I'm gonna bomb in the original room. You don't want to bomb in that
This about you. You were our Sam Kenneson when you were
Towards the end man, you were just leading into you and what you did and you were unfollowable and
Everybody was like this guy's doing it the best out there. So it's like you really hit it like an amazing
Stride and you really I you really were our Kenneson at that point
You were you were just like something no one's ever seen and it was like it was an energy that could not be matched
And you just brought a dude every fucking time, bro
Every fucking time and you you were had this amazing thing where you would just get off right when time was up
You never ran it. You didn't have to worry about that. You just got in bam like a gentleman got out got out
And you look great, bro. I gotta be honest with you last time
I saw you you were getting shot in the head on TV. You look fucking phenomenal, bro
Yeah, you're like you're glowing dude. I feel good. I'm glowing, you know, everything's working out
The pieces are starting to align a little bit. It has been a rough, you know, it's been it's rough without you guys
It was rough. I got to admit it. I gotta come full circle here. It was rough
The first six months for me like I was beating myself up
That I do the right thing that I not do the right thing, you know, I knew I was burnt out on comedy. I'll tell you that
That's the other I get it dude. I get that I really get that too
You know, you said you have been doing comedy since you were 22 years old and
How old were you when you walked into the comedy store? You were a young man trips 25, bro
25
That's 23 years ago, man. I I listen I was at the comedy store longer
than I lived with my parents when I was born
I got out at 18 I was at the comedy store for 23 years and I saw everything I saw death
But in it's dead times what everybody calls its dark period to like the zenith
That got so big that we were just talking about I saw it all man
And I loved all of it and I'll tell you something man that dead time that everybody
Talks about as being super dark. It was the purest comedy ever was so was
I mean people were going up on stage doing comedy for the sake of comedy
Not like you know worried about the industry is there because there was no industry there and nobody showed up
And it wasn't about anything you'd be lucky. There were nights, dude
I watched paul mooney do stand up for two people one time in the oar two people 45 minutes super crush you
It was about learning. Yeah, there's a lot of blow and craziness going on
But it was about stand up because the inmates ran the asylum
And we were just going up there and it was the purest comedy will ever be
I don't think you'll ever in the history time will ever get purer comedy than that
It was not about anything other than trying to work this act and getting better and all those people that were there
You all these guys you me all these people have like our national headliners a lot of them have netflix specials
And it's just like they became the who's who of not just comedy but podcasting
So it was a very magical time, but everything changes, you know, it's just like that's kind of as you grow older
You start to realize that it's like there's a cycle to life, man
And you got to kind of know what part of the cycle you're in and just let it go let it go let it go
And if it's meant to come back it's meant to come back
You know, I never heard somebody describe the dark ages of the store like that, but I gotta be honest with you
We'll throw it on the table right now
That dark age is how I learned to become a comedian. You're absolutely right. It was pure. I remember talking to Ari one night
Here we are doing your show. The thing is busy
There's a hundred people outside the comedy store on tuesday nights. There's a line for fucking rap battle
You know, we we went through that people bring I remember I would walk back then the guys from abx tablets
Just god bless him. He would go joey. Where's your car outside? I'm putting something in your car
You don't even want me to carry it
They would put it in your fucking car for you
You'd go to go home and then you look back and they'd be fucking a box of edibles
You'd have bags of weed
Fucking geno speed weed with those blunts
We would get down there. It was just amazing to see and it was great and I fucking appreciate it
But I remember calling Ari and going Ari the store was on fire last night. He's like, ah, you know, Ari
It's too fucking commercial for me now, you know, and I'm like wow
And now you brought that up about the dark ages guys if you're at home watching this shit, listen
When you're a comic you want to be seen. We were all young
We were all young. We wanted to be seen agents managers
Production companies, you know came to the store
Nobody nobody dick you had to go to the laugh factory
If you went to the laugh factory in those days, I'll tell you something every time I went to the laugh factory
I came home with a card
When the comedy store was dark, I was telling mike the other day that I had a showcase for
Nacho, whatever the fucking wrestling movie
Jack black went and set up latino night
And he had all the big fat mexicans and a big fat cuban
Me rudy, you know all the fat mexicans. He had us do 10 minutes
Felipe and he checked us out and then afterward I spoke to him. That was the laugh factory
You know who came to the comedy store to see you?
Nobody no managers
I remember if you went to a manager if a manager came up to me and said, oh, we're interested in signing you
Where can I see you perform? You'd say the comedy store 10 30 11 o'clock. He'd go nah
We're not going there. There's no parking. There's nothing to eat. You will take care of us. They don't ask like gold
She would throw them out of there. Do you remember she she fucking did
The night of a thousand guitos with damarera and
The last minute mitchie sure goes fuck it. No industry comps
And all those young comics were pissed because they thought that if the industry went their life was going to change
And she was like no industry comps. They're like everybody else
They got to pay like everybody else
And that was the end of that then andrew dice clay showed up for the italian night
And him and dom had an argument in the main room in front of everybody
Because he was telling you're not italian. They used to go at it. They used to go at it down there
And he uh, I mean like he because you know, there was a time
where uh, it was
Comics would do hours on stage just hours people
People had no clue what that was like and I was working a valet job, dude
And I'd have to be there at my job at seven in the morning, man
Seven in the morning, dude
And sometimes I didn't have a car my car wouldn't work
So I'd have to like hitchhike or get a taxi and it was crazy, dude
And like these guys would come in and they would do like three four hours on stage
And I was just people and these young comics were getting angry because they didn't get their five men's at the beginning of the show
And I'm like, man, you don't even understand, dude
Three four hours on stage. I would leave there at three in the morning
They have to go to home and get the work at seven in the morning
I was valet laying down the street and like I would answer the door
People like, oh my god, you were the guy on stage. You were so funny grab my bags. I got to get out of here
I'm like, ah, man, welcome to life
But it was an amazing time, dude. Nobody cared about the store. No, nobody
Nobody, no laugh factories jumping the the improv was jumping, you know, the the comedy always changes and one of the big changes
was uh
Doublance doublance came in and was this big comedy show was a tuesday night and it was on um
At this giant irish bar that became this miami nightclub that for 20 years now
This club has just been empty and nothing's happening. They say it's about rent or or taxes
Someone owns tax on it and they just haven't done anything with it, but it just sits there, right quietly
But it was at the time it was doublance and this was during the shack and kobe laker like fucking pinnacle
It was crazy on the sunset strip, dude
And this was the first time where they had allowed where all three of the comedy club comics would come and perform together
Because before that you couldn't if you you were con store you perform at the con store
If you were lab factory you performed at the lab factory and if you were improv you performed at the improv and if your name
Got on like if you were a con store comic and your name was on at the improv people would be who couldn't get spots
We're calling in snitching on you trying to get your spots, man
And this is the first time we had all come together in this fucking insane
Comedy night that kind of I thought changed comedy and then every it was a free for all
But man the comedy store was do a dead on arrival
But I wouldn't have had it any other way because you got to go through it to get to it, man
You got it's got it. I mean dude people saw where sebastian was when he started
He had his personality by working it out to where he is now that would never happen
If he had to do it in front of pack crowds every fucking night
That's a fucking great point
I still remember going to Dublin and having such a great time that you didn't want to go to the store
And so he was the deal
The store used to do african-american night on tuesday nights
And they would you know, the brothers would be everywhere. I didn't it didn't bother me. I performed there
What was the name of the other show that joe tori?
There was moe better monday moe better monday that's improv fat tuesday fat tuesday fat tuesday was when I got to la was the biggest
Fucking night. It was the sam trippley show. Yeah, it was crazy. That's where bruce willis saw
What's his name and put him in the fifth dimension?
That's where what's his name saw guide tori chris tucker. That's where guide tori
That's where my boy saw guide tori and put him in american history x
That was real. I still remember the I used to telemarket at the comedy store for ends mitchell
Ends mitchell used to be a manager at the store. Oh damn comedy union comedy union me shama
Tons of us would be upstairs telemarketing 10 bucks an hour for giving away free tickets and shit
Would ends mitchell up there that fucking store would be dead
We were giving away tickets and people still wouldn't come to the fucking comedy store
Like you got a dollar so far back in the day, dude
I remember when steve roniz easy was working the working the cash register
At the comedy store and I walk in he's like and he'd be like dude, should I start looking for a new job?
I'm like, I don't know. This is how dead the comedy store was the lojoya
Comedy store was keeping the hollywood comedy comedy store a flow
That's how empty it was and we couldn't start showing till we had like at least like two people
We had to get at least and if nobody showed up we would wait until two people showed up
And then you would have to go up and that's you know
I I pray that you can bomb and anonymity dude
Like you just work through your fucking darkness with nobody watching
That's why I always love those end of those night spots because like everyone will go and you could just fucking lean into your craziness, man
And I do those those days will never be come back
You'll never see a brand that big
Be that low and just power through it, you know
You know, I'm in the process of writing a book
So every night I gotta make notes and then I talk to the writer in the daytime
I'm not a writer. I we talk on the phone for like an hour a day
And I'm trying to write that chapter right now about the struggle to that that that fucking comedy store how we were
Loyal to nothing
We were loyal to nothing. There was nothing there
There was poor moony. There was eddie griffin
There was joe rogan
And that's it. The rest was us
You know every once in a while gary shanling came in or
Andrew or fucking sarah silvin or something
But that was it that was it none of these names will come in it would just be us learning
You know doing drugs
Fucking around with women, you know, it was just a grind and it was you're right
It was an asylum run by the inmates. Yeah, do you remember there was a manager?
He said he had worked like 80 days in a row
The white kid he ended up leaving like he cracked mitzi cracked him
He packed his bags and fucking went back to whatever state he was from
And you every once in a while he pops up on facebook like behind the people like he didn't want mitzi to find him
He's like, how you doing joey if you come over here call me and he puts the bleaker back
It was just crazy. There used to be phones
I still remember being a broke comic and at night
I would go into the manager's office and go anybody bring back a phone. I lost my phone. I didn't have a
I had a pager
I didn't even have a phone
And they would give me they would give me the box and the manager would get up and leave
And I would get the phones and then bring them to the fucking guys that rob banks down in
In Compton, they were friends with Eddie Griffin the Kansas City crew
You can't even write this shit. I mean it was just
I remember pulling up and the beer would deliver the beer and the booze and I go
I could rob these cases right fucking now
Now I was a sticky-fingered thief and I never robbed the store
Like I would pull up at 12 and I would see the cases of whiskey out
And I was like if I go back to stealing I'll never be a comic like this. So just ruined my fucking dream
So I never touched nothing at the store. It wasn't until years later
I'll tell you I used to rob a waitress at the store years later. Oh my god
She would put a tray by the thing and we would come up to the tray
And she would leave the money out of the tray like little and if we took her for a 20
It would be enough and she blamed somebody else. I'm not gonna tell you who for years
She thought when I found out that she was blaming a different comic
Now I went down mondays to rob like every monday. I would go down there just to rob
But there's nothing at the store on monday nights. Nothing even back then
But I would go down at a robber
But the best robbery I ever did at the store and this was like I did like maybe six heists at the store
But the best one I ever did was I go into the manager's office to get a check and this white
I I still remember his face, but I don't remember his name. Robert. Maybe he had the hair on the side like dick van dyke
He had the button shirt. He was just out of college. He was really into this job
Like he was using
Everything from his degree for this job and the inmates are running the asylum. We don't even need you here
Just open the back and get us a fucking beer. We don't need your education here
We didn't need it. We needed a deaf mute. He would have done the job
So I walk in him. He's like, hey, why can I help you? I got I need to get
See if I have any checks back here because sometimes even if you didn't have a check you just looked
That's how you were open bro. That's how broke you were that check was paying rent
And the improv used to leave the checks out. You don't know how many times I robbed a drew carry check
For the small 750 or the you know, because they were like seven dollars and 50 cents or 15 dollars
I would just be
Seven seven dollars
I would be so desperate. I take the 750 and go right to the cash check cash in place
Whitley and son and hollywood boulevard. They knew me by first name in that motherfucker
I would be so broke. I was stealing seven dollar and fifty dollar check seven dollars
When I used to work at the store they so I got picked up things to mazja brownie
Mazja brownie and duncan trellis who got me at the store. I would work a full shift, bro
We're talking seven eight hours. If eddie griffin comes in it could go up to 10 for
$25 bro. It was the whole pay for the shift was $25. That's all I got
And she but she made me a regular
And she made me work the door and I was blessed that because I learned so much
But man, they got away with murder back in the day. The comedy store didn't give zero fox
There were no rules to them. They operated in their own thing
And that's kind of what they needed at that time and times have changed dude and things change. We'll see what happens
I love everybody over there. Just letting them figure out their path, you know, but yeah, man
It was outlaw and that's why when I find so and for the longest time dude
Up until this crazy pandemic happened
The comedy store was the mecca of comedy and the mecca of comedy podcasting all the biggest podcasts were
Somehow associated with the comedy store
And we are also the center of the war against political correctness and political correct comedy
It was a cultural event going on at the comedy store
And I don't think anyone really appreciated until like now when a couple years later
We realized like what we were in the middle of we didn't know it because we were in the middle of the storm
But later on we look back. It's like
This is the stuff the legends like when they talk about the d-mart and frank sinatra
Like we were the comedy version of that like people would always say all the time
It's like the comedy store was like nothing ever like you could go to the whiskey, right?
You I saw velvet revolver at the whiskey, right?
I never got to see them in the hall and talk to them
You could have your favorite comic
Just walk right past you in the hall and engage you in five minute conversation
That doesn't happen anywhere else in entertainment nowhere else
There's no other play even the comedy seller, which is like
Like the comedy store version on the east coast like comics sit up in a certain place
There's a there's a there's a stairwell to where they go on stage
There's no real place that you get get the hang out and just chop it up with your favorite comic man
It is truly the mecca of comedy and we'll see what happens
But even if I never perform there again, whoever knows what will happen
But let's say I never perform there again. I got the comedy store in my blood. It's in my bones, dude
I bleed red and black man, and I I I'll take the comedy store wherever I'm performing man
What a lot of people don't understand is that for a guy like me? I got locked up
I fucking got no high school diploma. I got a gd. I quit high school
You have no idea how being a part of the comedy store made you feel
Like I can't explain how I feel like people say to me. Well, joey. I can't believe you're not doing comedy
You didn't know what I saw either
I saw a lot. I saw a lot and not bad things
I just saw the belly of comedy
I just saw it already. I was at the store what he's talking about and we took it as nothing when he's talking about that
It was the the center foot. I remember going up to mitching on mitchy. Do you mind what nothing?
Nothing was sacred in there. Whatever. I remember taking my dick out on stage there
thousands of times and she was
Ah
Keep it in your pants
It was what it was about. She knew what was going on there with sex and drugs and rock and machine knew
He was participating in it. She was the fucking leader of it. So
For us like what happened last week
Three things happened last week that were against my court
Dave chappelle special john gruden getting fired
for something he said 12 years ago and
The stones no brown sugar
That is pure communism
I don't know how the fuck you're right, dude. Mick jagger sign cultural marxism, bro
It's that is communism marxism that is pure communism. I could
You could smell cuba
In the air I could smell the bananas and shit like that and the sweaty people
You're telling me that's not what because it's about slavery. What what what? I don't even get all this shit
And who's complaining about the rolling stones and a song they say, you know, it just makes no fucking sense
But they love they love john
They love john lennon. Do you know a song that john lennon sung on his on like the tonight show, bro
Do you want to hear the words he sung on the tonight show?
And these are john lennon's words women are the nigger of the world. Yeah, that's that's how you believe
Shea fish that that's where that that is that time brown sugar. It's from a time to erase it
Doesn't change anything. It doesn't make the world any better. Everybody's worried about brown sugar. Okay
Nobody's worried about what's going on with in libya, which is open air slave drinks
Like there's real shit going down, but no one's gonna say anything about that because obama caused it
so it's like
This is this is a classic
textbook
cultural Marxism which is completely rewriting history and that's what we're into right now and
This is why some people are allowed to say something some people
It's all part of cultural Marxism and it's all being pushed by rich kids rich white kids
And you have melko max and you have the unabomber both saying the same thing rich white liberals are the most dangerous animals in the world
Because they're pushing an idealism that they don't live that they've never lived through something like you from cuba
Your family you talk about what happens when you get real communism not
theoretical socialism which is what always happens
It's it that's where it leads to and
It's just unbelievable that you have these kids who are just like railing against the patriarchy
And all you know, you had that gala event where all these people are like peg the patriarchy that woman that wore that shirt
Her family are all
Royals she's from they're they're the patriarchy
So you have rich kids trying to get rich white kids trying to convince everybody that poor white kids are the problem
When in reality the patriarchy that they're railing against is is all their fathers and their grandfathers have all done it
And it's what happens all the time. They're super young. They rail
Ah, man them system then they get to a certain age and they just they walk right into their daddy's office
And they start doing everything they hate it. So it's like, yeah, it's it's bizarro
Fucking town right now, but people like you and rogan and what i'm doing any legion of skanks
They're right there too
Like they're creating a system in which young versions of us can thrive in now
I'm killing it right now
You know why because i deal in authenticity brother and that's why you've always resonated with people because you are authentic as fuck
And in this fucking age of phony shit
Truth like you're talking about robin waitresses all that shit. They're dying for some realism, dude
That's what people want. That's why they'll always be a place for us
You know and now you're in this major movie. It's like all the blessings in life
Because you're such a good dude and you're so real that people in this sea of shit
You're a buoy brother. You're a lighthouse in this fucking sea of bullshit, dude
How can
We be
Such a shit fucking society
We're like a shit society now
Like yelling at a kid for stand-up
this happened
20 years ago with andrew dice clay
They weren't looking for his head. They weren't you know what i'm saying like and they were in a way
You know when he went on sign that live and said all that stuff, but nobody was looking to cancel him
Andrew went away on his own people thought that they went that oh well andrew went no andrew went away to raise his kids
You thought you put him down with your stupid
Fucking oh, well, we don't like dirty comedy. He went to raise his kids
And then when he finished raising his kids, he made a fucking comeback
A killer come back a killer fucking come back. He just did the tour of his fucking life
yeah, you know and
Now you want to take what shepell did and this guy got his feelings her well
It's time that this country toughened up a little bit
That's the first thing your mom taught you but sticks and stones will fucking break your bones and words will never hurt you
Joey the person leading this charge
Is a is the is the showrunner for a show called dear white people right there
She's shitting on another group which makes her a fucking hypocrite
Now here's the bizarro part. She is a white trans woman. Okay, which means she was born a white man
Transitioned into a white woman, which means she is white people. She's all white people
He's both sides of it and she's fucking yelling about how bad white people are and she's yelling at a guy for making fun of her group
When she openly makes fun of another group imagine being a black actor on the show
Dear white people and you're getting notes from the showrunner
Who is a white trans person on how you should be acting in this blackness? It is clown town
They want to try they want to cancel Dave Chappelle
Okay, for some jokes why they were all fine with cuties, which is 11 year olds
twerking right and you and I both have daughters the the notion of that thing happening is
Extremely frightening yet these liberals most of them don't have children and don't have skins in the game
Act like jokes are the worst thing in the world and I'll tell you why because most of the people leading this charge again
Are rich white kids and you study their life
Joey they're born into fucking the best hospitals right they go home to the best houses
That are behind the the best gated communities. They go to the best schools right out the gate private schools
They graduate high school. They go to the most prestigious private colleges
You get interned right into the best gigs
They start going to the best restaurants and the best clubs. They marry highly people their life is nothing but pampering
Okay
so when they say
Violence is never the answer and mean jokes suck
It's because there's only two things in the world that can affect them that are words and violence
And that's why they're trying to fucking outlaw everything because I've just said this before
These people want a world that plays to their strengths and outlaws their weaknesses
Okay, and that's what they're trying to create right now
Words and violence are the only thing that can affect super right kids
Saying fuck giving them the truth and then just punch them in the face
They can't handle any of that because they've been pampered for so long
So that's why what political correctness is and political correctness is truly
Fascism and george carlin said the exact same thing. It's going to be a different kind of fascism
It's not going to be it's going to be where it's like one dictator
We got this what they call
Corporatocracy is coming in and that is where corporations are going to run everything
And that's what they're doing right now. And that's why Dave chappelle is heralded by one sign
I love Dave, but then john gruden who hasn't nobody's seen these emails by the way
We've just told what they're in they've never shown us email
This guy's demon eyes and steps down loses job. It's all part of the mind fuck that's going on right now
loses job
And gets his past glories taken down
They took him down from the ring. They want a fucking super bowl
His players would have complained about him over the years. We would have saw
Players going gruden is a fucking is a nazi gruden is a fucking slave trade, you know, we would have seen things. There's nothing
He's brought an email about lips that the guy was lying through those big lips
He called somebody a half a fag
You know gadel or something like that. And by the way gadel has gay face
That's I mean the guy is gay thing. I mean the dude looks like he loves dick
I've been saying that for since he got the gig. I'm like that dude loves dick
Dog and that's why they hit so hard with him. You can't go. I mean like what is punching up and punching down
I mean you're worried. John gruden. I mean like gadel has been a piece of shit forever now
We're all worried about his fucking feelings. I mean get the fuck out of here
Get the and here's the problem joey. It's like what is the end result?
What is the goal line of this whole thing like what is equality?
What and I have a lot of trans friends, dude
I used to do a lot of drugs and just met a lot of weird people. Okay. I mean, I'm being honest with you
That's just who I am. I shined in the darkness. I have a lot of weirdo friends
I have trans friends that walk in here and you're like, that's the hottest chick you've ever seen in your life
Trans fucking person, right? I know these people. Okay. Most of them don't want to deal with all this bullshit
They hate fucking drag queen story hour. They hate all this fucking shit
But these really loud people that and that's really always what it is man
It's a small group of people. Most people just want to get get along and live their fucking lives
But you got these squeaky wheels that cause all the chaos and they get pushed to the front to get us all the fight with each other
But the question is joey. What is the goal line equality? But what is equality man?
What is equality? Let me tell you what equality is the more you're in the more shit you fucking get
It's not the more you in the less they make fun of you. The more you in the more you get made fun of
That's how it goes. Look who gets shit all the time. George bush
Uh, uh, donald trump joe biden kanye west the kardashians jesus christ
We can go down a whole list of people that are just a blot of every fucking joke because they're so fucking in
The more you in the more shit you get so watch what you wish for this notion that gay people don't do funny shit
Or black people don't do funny shit or women don't do funny shit. It's just the most ludicrous thing in the world
Black people are hilarious and i'm gonna make observations about black people. You ever been a world star hip hop dog?
Just seeing crackheads jumping off from third floors doing belly flips. It's like fucking funny
I can't talk about that get the fuck out of here
That's right with the video done with the black dude who put the firecracker in his eye and his fucking eye
I love a brother who puts a firecracker in his eye
Right, you know and they're looking people for the wrong. I was thinking about myself
Like I gotta be honest with you. I say some fucked up shit
But at the end of the day, I would put my hand out to any race and I've done it
I know I've done it for for a fucking fact. I've done it
You know, I'll goof on arabs, bro. I have three Arabs that are my best friends. They call once a week the whole fucking deal
I thank this was one particular kid that I think about him once a week
Because I couldn't get economics down and he fucking
Worked with me
He would take me to lunch and work with me on economics when I finally got it down in college
And I always said that motherfucker regardless, but I'll say the craziest things about black people
Chinese I'll say the craziest things
But I'll bump into
Somebody who comes up to me who's african-american
And I go, hey man
They'll come up to me and go. Hey, we were like the podcast and at first you go
You know, you said some shit on there, you know from time to time
And now and I'll ask them. Did you ever you ever watch the podcast and feel like I was racist? They go, nope
You just funny motherfucker. You say it how it is
But we could they feel it
They know who's racist and it's like me when people talk about spanish people. I remember calling bob
I remember getting a message from bobby slate one day for christmas and he's like, hey, man
I just want to wish you a merry christmas. Even though you're in a roach and first pester tenement
And the bronx or the bunch of spicks
Now somebody would have got mad. I don't get mad at any of that shit
But I will tell you I could tell when somebody's serious
And I could tell when somebody's just making me a butt of a joke and I love being the butt of a joke
But when somebody like you speak motherfucker, I could tell when they're serious 100 percent
And it's the difference between a
racial
Joke a racist joke and a racial joke now. I will even defend
People's right to say off-colored stupid jokes. I mean, it's okay. We shouldn't be canceling people people shouldn't be losing their jobs
When I write a joke, man, like I have a joke about this one female comic in la that's so hot
But she only bangs black guys, right? And I'm like, you're so fucking hot. I'll paint my dick blackface
That's how hot you are. Okay
All right, I'll put black paint on my dick if it means getting some of that ass, okay
But my question goes my question goes could a black comic write that joke?
And if the answer is yes, I'm writing the fucking joke because it's not about dude equality isn't segregation
It isn't and that's the biggest thing when you see my new special, right? It's uh called no life. I mean, uh, no lives matter
The always the comment and it's 99 percent positive and there'll always be a couple negative comments
And it's always the same thing. Oh racial comedy. It's so lazy, right?
But these political correct people force everybody into these silos
So when I like the reason I have a big problem with la comedy is now
I know what everybody's going to talk about based on what they look like
Oh black comics going to do white people do this white people do that
Women are going to talk about their pussies. Mexicans are going to talk about me
Because society's these woke people folk
Force everybody into these silos where watch netflix specials. Everybody's just doing their stereotypes
There's nothing original. So it's like don't tell me I'm lazy when you force everybody who who's fucking getting specials
To be super fucking lazy, dude. I say talk about everything like anthony jezzlynick, right? He's a good friend of mine
He's got 50 minutes on kiddieport
I hate that shit
But I'll defend his right to do those fucking jokes to the end of fucking days
If we're playing punching up and punching down
There's no more punching down than that subject
But I will defend anthony jezzlynick's
Right to do awful fucking jokes because and I love anthony. I think he's one of the best comics out there
But I don't get that those jokes, but that's his right to do it
because
Nothing should be off
Fuck in the table if you could do it if you do a movie on a subject
Okay, you should be able to do a joke on a subject and the problem is the people who get offended think comedy
Is about fucking patty cakes. They think it's meant to be yay and no dude
Comics are some of the darkest motherfuckers
I know and they talk about the shit that we really need to hear about and if you can't handle it
Don't come to a comedy club
You know, I remember when cat williams hit
you know, and I
Watched the special I knew cat before he hit. I did one of his rooms and he was very fair to me
And that michael jackson joke that he does that's one of the most brilliant jokes of all time
That's what broke him if you listen to that joke
It's a 50 50 in the room
That means the room was split down the middle
some people were owing
Some people were like laughing, but they couldn't really laugh out loud because the people next to them were owing
And to me that's what comedy is
Yes, dude. Yes, that has always when I saw it. I go that's comedy
Now we got to get a motherfucker who could do that for 45 minutes straight
And chappelle hit it, you know chappelle
Fit that mold it wasn't me. It wasn't you it wasn't rogan. It wasn't sagura
It was chappelle, you know, and I and I'm happy that he did it
But that's what it's supposed to be when you go to a comedy show. Yeah, you're supposed to laugh a little bit
But if the comics doing his job, he's gonna bring up a couple subjects
That should make you squirm a little bit in your chair just a little bit
I don't want you to leave angry and you shouldn't be getting angry
You should listen to it say I'll never pay 20 bucks for this jerk off again
And go on your merry way
Not make a video
And put it on youtube and try to ruin the fucking guy
You didn't like the joke when did be doing when did becoming offended?
Becoming a felony
When did that happen you're offended so the fuck what man?
So what comedies meant to elicit a response and your response is offended job done
Wait, there'll be another joke coming
That's it. That's the same way. I fucking look at things too. That's it. You know chappelle did his job
If you watch that special as a comic and you got the balls to raise your hand and
The other I go against chappelle. You're a fucking hypocrite and your comedy sucks
Because that's what you're supposed to do your world collides with the rest of the world. Tell me about it
You don't like abc news. Tell me why and I'll listen to you if you explain it
We're in don't just come up there and say I hate abc news
But if you tell your take on why it rubs against your world, that's what the joke is
You might not like it. Maybe you like abc news. That's why there's vanilla and chocolate because not everybody likes vanilla
And you have to accept that but for you to try to ruin somebody's life
Because they said something
That's basically the truth
People don't want to hear the truth. We know we heard it years ago with
That fucking movie with uh, the Scientologist and the chick that fucked bruce willis
Whatever that was, you know
You don't want to clear was it called going clear something like that? No, no
It was the movie the army movie with jack Nicholson when
Oh, oh, you can't handle the truth. Yeah, you can't handle the truth that goes that resonates in our society
We can't even handle it's like if I came up can I go same?
Can I talk to you for a second comic the comic because this happened to me
When I first started like five years four years into comedy somebody tried to come and give me
advice
But while he gave me the advice he told me my negative and I took offense to it
I'd left I'd listen to his advice when I walked away and then I went back to beat him up
When I got back he wasn't there
But then I went home and I thought about the words he said to me and I go that motherfucker wasn't insulting me
He was building me up
He was building me up
He was telling me what I needed to do to build up to be a good comic and I listened to him
I got offended
Just a little bit, you know, like just a little bit like joe peshy
You offended him just a little bit with the fucking uh, whatever joe, but
Oh my fucking funny you think i'm funny
I
Jimmy Schubert did that to me one time
I kind of you know, i'm a father-son dog
You know my dad instilled a lot of things into me a lot of positives some negatives
You know one was a little bit of paranoia and a big ego
Because I think sometimes as a comic you've got to be boxer almost you got to
Almost believe in yourself when nobody else does even when you're having some weird sets and you're bombing and brother. I've had bombs
I've had act I followed you there's three people at the comedy store that I follow. I bomb so hard
I question whether this is what I should do for a living you
Lisa lamp and ellie and I think the other one. Oh was uh
What's his fucking name the the old guy with the gray hair? That's uh part of the blue collar tour
I forgot what his name is run white
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I bomb the rough nights dog rough nights rough nights
But the like these are the learning moments, but jimmy schubert told me pulled me aside on a gig one time
And he goes hey dude, you're really funny
But man, you got bad attitude
You you you just you just you're just rubbing people the wrong way man
Because you're going around acting like you've done shit and you haven't done jack shit
You're super funny, man
People want to like you but you're you're just you're and I read that that resonated with me
Because I felt like I'd said that about my father at some point
Like he just couldn't learn to work well with others and like from that point on
Even in recovery though. I learned I worked on that like nobody's thinking about me, man
Nobody's doing and I have to listen to what people are saying. So, you know and sometimes the truth hurts like
Dana just gave me a no on a joke
And like I kind of got mad, but I understand what she's saying
So i'm gonna like twerk the tweak the joke a little bit, you know
So it's like you have to when you when you get a past
Being open to criticism. That's when I think you start to be in a little bit of decline
You start to lose the plot and the narrative and the respect for your crowd
I think you always have to have a tiny bit
of healthy fear
Of the audience and that
You hope that they love you because the minute you don't care. I see it happen all the time
There becomes a disconnect between you and the crowd if you don't have a healthy
Desire for them to like you and want to and do something that they'll appreciate
I think you lose the plot of stand-up
Kind of respect the audience. You got to think about them
Think about their every feeling. I think you know for me to become a great comic
How to stop thinking how to start thinking about the audience?
And yes, that fear is healthy
Because once that fear is gone you shouldn't be doing
Once they're healthy fear is gone. I get a little fear from doing the podcast
When Mike I know he's on his way up here
For like 10 minutes before Mike comes here. I got to sit down
Because you get a little scared
So sometimes I go maybe I should just cancel. No, yeah
This is what is natural
I don't know how many nights, you know, especially going to the fucking store
You know doing I don't know what's scarier
Doing a road gig and trying to be
You know a great comic for that audience, you know what they went through and they paid or
Going down to the store
When you're only going to do 15 minutes
But you're going to be with the fucking
With the people who matter you can't go down and fail
Can't go down and fail you're going to be with bill burr and this is your chance
To earn your fucking, you know to earn your fucking wings
You got to fucking earn it every night and this is it never mind going and doing red rocks
In front of 18,000 people. Yeah high on life. They're breathing oxygen
Go down to that fucking store on a Tuesday and go in that fucking jungle fest that they have
Your show the original there was a there was a part I would look at that lineup before I went down there
Every Tuesday I had to stop
Like I'm just going down
Once they call you and tell you you have a spot don't look at the lineup because that's going to affect your game
100% 100% if you look at alley wong
chris delia
Ron white and then i'm somewhere in there
It's going to affect you. Don't even look at the lineup. Just go down there like you're eating ass with your head tucked in
Straight fucking in
You're going in right with the third eye into that
Bam right there dog
I'm totally with you man. It's such a psychological game. That's getting played
Because if you you really get great at comedy you become like a cult leader you just get the whole room
Thinking as one you get all these strangers to think as one moving group
And it's like that's why when you fuck a joke up people snap out you got to pull them back into the into the thing
So a big trans so a big thing for me, man
Was like I realized like because I love you know tom rhodes says
I I do stand up like i'm playing at the front of the net in tennis right the really aggressive john mackinroll
Tight fucking style right which is totally true because I do get off
I'm seeing what I can get away with
But one thing I really learned is like I can't just be doing that the whole time
I have to stick and move so it's like my whole thing is like
I my style of comedy joey. I call it gator roll, right?
I call it the gator roll and what the gator roll is is I grab them at the top like an alligator does and I slowly
Slowly drag them in to the deep dark waters of what I find is crazy
And that's where I get them right, but I can't open crazy
I can't I used to open crazy and bear and just just bury myself and it's just like you can't do it
It's a psychological operation
You have to start very very slow and easy with relatable shit
Like now I got all these jokes about my kids right now like real
Simple, but they're sam triply jokes
So it's really simple stuff and then by the end i'm talking about how like
Gays are days are like mass nazis now
Like they fucking like if your nostrils come out like you're flying the the fucking gay stewardess will be on you
But i'm like these are the ones who could this is a demographic
I couldn't like stop bear back in each other during aids like you know
I think so it's like this and then they're laughing at it because I've taken this time to fucking
Psychologically bring them and prepare them into what we're doing. It's very psychological man stand up. That's why it takes
10 years
Just to truly get to work to understand it to master it takes another five to ten on top of that
And that's why when like the comic walk scene you see kill you like how long you've been doing it 20 years
You're like, yeah, that's 20 years of being in the lab working on experiments and coming to understanding
What fucking this this jedi mind trick shit you're doing comics or jedi's real great ones are jedi's man
That 20 year mark really opens up your brain
I and you know who told me that mitzvah power jiggers was on stage one night in the main room
I went back there. She was there in a little booth and she
Sat me in come sit down
And she said you see what are you doing? That's 20 years and I remember the time I was doing comedy like nine to ten
I was like
check
You know I'm saying check
We're going for the 20 year mark to do what the fuck he's doing. It really is you do really
It's a sight, you know, listen, this is the best way I can explain it from zero to 10 years
You can't call your shots. You don't know if you're gonna bomb. It's a 50 50
In your head. All I know is from 20 to 30
You're gonna bomb
But I have a little bit more control over and I know how to get myself. It's like
Zero to 10 years in jujitsu. I got to start on my knees
After 20 years, I'll start on my back because I know I could get the fuck out of there. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, for sure, dude
It's like what is the game plan? What's gonna work with this crowd?
And you know for me like I get off stage now people like oh, dude, I really relate to that stuff
I never used to get that because
I've done it all like I bring these young guys on the road with me
And there's sometimes I'm like I think these guys are getting bigger laughs because they're going for credibility right now, right?
They're trying to get credibility with the crowd when I'm trying
To find out who I am as a person and if any you mother fuckers can understand what I'm talking about
Like 47 becoming a dad. You used to have a bad drug problem
Super sex addiction all these things and now I'm in charge of two little girls
And like me trying to be the best man I can for not my just myself
But for them like I don't want to embarrass these two people and I'm doing the best that I can like there's a
Relateability to that. I'm not gonna say the name of the con but there's a comic out there that used to be super nova
And I hear now he's kind of struggling
and I think
It's because he hasn't
Graduated to that next level of his life personally
Like a lot of the jokes that he's doing are from you know, when we were all running the gun and hanging and banging, right?
And now his crowd is much older
They all have kids. They're all married with kids. That's what they will that's their mindset
And if you can't you know, you can't keep doing the same act the only constant in the universe has changed if you're not
Adapting and changing with the times like for me to go up there and just do the same act that I did as a kid
You know, it would just
Just completely fail
On stage because that's not who I am right now
The truth is that like I'm not a sexual dynamo anymore. I'd rather go to bed. Okay
I used to do a ton of drugs after this show. I'm going right back to the hotel grabbing a hamburger and doing nothing
You caught me at the row. I have all this power now and I don't want anything to do with it
I just want to go to bed and wake up sober in the morning
Pray write down my goals do my yoga do all this stuff that like 10 years ago
I would be like laughing at this guy, but that's who I am now and it resonates with people because
you know, I mean
You know just all the craziness used to do with people and all the craziness you do with women and now you see them on facebook
They're like, I got free kids. You're like used to be a fucking savage
It's growth man
And if you don't grow and your act doesn't grow with you
Your job isn't to get the fucking 20 year olds anymore
Your job is to get the people who relate to you and they're probably around your age demographic
If you get some 20 year olds in there who appreciate what you talk then that's great too
But to be like running and gunning and trying to get these 20 year old, you know, I like it's it's to be in your late 40s
Early 50 and still be doing pop comedy. I think you've lost it
You got to really get honest and that's what again
Authenticity is the key to growth in comedy and entertainment people want to connect with you with real shit
They want to be like that's some real shit that guy just dropped on stage
And I think that's why you resonate with everybody and when you do want to go back
To doing stand up. What if that day ever comes?
People are going to be just thirsty to hear what coco has to say and because you always give the real shit
And that's why it was always so hard to follow you because it's like it's my I mean, dude
I used to one of the biggest bombs I ever had was following you at a joe rogan show in san san osa
You did literally 10 to 15 minutes on ass eating and I had to ask myself
Do I have anything that can touch that and according to the crowd there was nothing I go
I had to follow joe ds at a joe rogan concert. That's like middling for van halen and the opening act is david lee roth
It's gonna be a rough set dog, you know, but that's because you got this authenticity
Way earlier than a lot of us got it now to my best of my ability. I live in that and
You know, I think that's why I'm resonating with people right now
You're doing a great. I remember going to see you when you had that
Show with the chicks and on stage and the whole fucking thing
And you were up on stage and I walked in it was at the improv arie was there and I remember going
arie was in awe like he was just standing like typical arie, you know, he stands like that like
You know, and I walked in and he was just watching and he was giggling and I go, what's up, man? He goes, it's great to see triply
doing triply
Like look at this there's women and playboy and fucking this guy and
It was great, dude
It's uh, it's been an education sam. I miss you
I'm happy dude. I love you so much brother
I mean like when you left I cried and I still am sad about it
But seeing how you were seeing you right now talking with you right now
And just seeing like you're glowing dude. I couldn't be happier from you
And it's like sometimes you got to let shit go to grow in life and that seems what's happened to you
And you know, I haven't been able to see you since all this chaos, but I know one day
We're gonna pow wow together hug talk mad shit and
And I love each other and you know, I mean like I love you the pieces. I'm so happy your movie rock
You were fucking great in it. I didn't enjoy watching you get shot that kind of fucked me up
But outside of that it was a fucking great experience. You know, I love you man
I know I'm a little crazy, you know with the conspiracy stuff
But some people don't call me anymore and they don't talk to me anymore
Everything I do is I love but you never left me and I'm always appreciative of you
And uh, if anyone's listening to me come see me in Miami this weekend. All right, go see him
Wait at the improv
I'm at the dude. I got to go to Miami
I just want to go to south beach and see how many chicks I recognize from fucking bang bus, you know, so that's why I'm going
It's always a fucking pleasure to go to Miami you see some shit that
You go up paid to do it is like at the end of the day
We're living pretty nice, dude. Last time I went to Miami was Thanksgiving weekend 2019
And I saw a girl there
At the improv that I had like this is what you're talking about. I had to take a double look
In 1999 to bring new years in
They were at the improv and coconut grove these girls. It was her and another chick with gigantic tits
And I had my girlfriend with me at the time not my wife had a different girlfriend. This is 98
99 and
We start talking and my girlfriend was one of these fucking strippers who would talk to other women at that big tits
And they you know, she'd attract these fucking lunatics and
You know, all of a sudden
My girl's like listen they're coming back with us
You know, I'm in the fucking now we go back to the hotel
And we're in the little fucking room there and
I don't know. These two girls are talking now. I'm concerned with my girlfriend. I really don't care about the two
I'm not gonna do nothing to them
So I what do I care? My girlfriend's here, didn't you understand?
But it didn't turn out that way
Next thing, you know, we're doing blow. I go to the bathroom
I come out and the two chicks with the big tits are eating each other out 69 and
And my girlfriend's there with a whip and I'm like, what the fuck is this?
She's like suck his dick
You know and the chick was hamlin they both passed out and then the next morning we had to wake up
And they're on the floor naked and when they saw me they were like covering themselves
I don't even remember you from last night
I saw that crazy bitch when I went the last time
So that's what you're talking about these crazy bitches that were crazy 20 years ago and now they show up on their moms
They got a wagon now with two car seats and a fucking and an art thing in the back
So they could paint at the park or whatever the fuck it is. So
Yeah, and when I saw we both locked eyes and the last time before that
I went to miami
This is in 2014. I went and the improv was closed for a while
So they were still doing shows like a burger place big room pretty cool
And the last night there i'm walking off and I see this girl
She comes up to me
She goes, how are you?
Good good, you know, I just thought it was a general. How are you?
Like just some ladies saying how are you when I looked at her?
I kind of remember that like her face, but she had gotten big like she had gained like 50 pounds over the years
And I go, how do I know you and she goes
We had a threesome in 1998. I'm like, oh, I remember that one her and a chubby chick
And the chubby chick was fucking, you know, you can't touch it. She's huge
And I'm all coked up and the chubby chick's like come in come in so I had to go through her first
And I just wanted to start I didn't want to do the chubby
So I waited till the chubby chick left. I played like sick
I don't feel good
And the chubby chick wasn't at the door and I was on top of the blonde
And while I'm on top of the blonde the chubby chick comes back because she forgot her fucking cup or cheese burger
And she's like
What's going on in here? I thought you were sick. I got the chick on 69 in them
I got the cape on and shit and she's like, you just didn't want to be with me. I wanted to be with you
I'm like, listen, I was sick while you is like
And she ran out and I ended up with the blonde chick for a week until I left
And the blonde chick took me out to dinner and said lose my number
I'm getting married next month
Oh, dude, these these hose and gage to I once had two 300 pound chicks eat my feet
That was one of the the weirdest threesomes I've ever had. They're like, gee, we just want to lick your feet
I'm like, are you gonna throw some fucking blue cheese on that shit, too?
Who might have judged I'm a fucking thick monkey right now too. So love to all the big ladies out there
You know, God bless you. I think big chicks have tighter vaginas. Anyways, it's those those tiny chicks have fucking pringle cans for pussies
Chubby chicks do have tight pussies because they just give blow jobs. Nobody wants them lurking
You got to go in that ass with a crowbar. You know what I'm saying? If you don't got a crowbar, you're gonna bust that muffler
You can't bust the seal. You got to get in there. It's hot in there
