Starting point is 00:04:37 It's Wednesday morning, cock-suckers. Let's do this. Check one, two. Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint. What's happening, you bad motherfuckers? It's Wednesday the 16th of March, the day before St. Patty's Day. I fucking love St. Patty's Day, even though I don't drink and shit. My neighbors up the corner gonna make a couple fucking whatever the fucking corn beeps. We're gonna go over there on fucking Thursday, smoke some reef.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I'm gonna smoke tons of reef. I'm gonna start like a fucking 3.30 in the afternoon. Well, I'll start a little early in that. I usually start like a 3.30 to prep for dinner is what I'm trying to say. I'll drop a couple of ABXs to get the party started, to get that hunger in there for reals. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't bothers me more when I go eat and fucking I'm not hungry. You know, nothing, nothing.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And for a long time I wasn't getting high. Like last night I went to this place called fucking Harrow's in Edison. Fucking tremendous. If you like corn, beef, pastrami, brisket, you order a sandwich for two. If you walk in there with six people, order a sandwich for two. That's all you need. Everybody will fucking eat. It's this big of a sandwich.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I'm gonna take a picture of my phone to give you this much pastrami, this much brisket, and this much fucking corn, beef. It's fucking tremendous. I can eat that shit forever. But that's it. After tomorrow night, I won't eat it again till fucking now. Who the fuck am I? I love pastrami, guys.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I've always loved motherfucking pastrami. The pickles harrying around the corner. Oh Lord, they got good fucking pastrami. That Jew food will kill you. I love it. They got the original conditions and shit. I love all that stuff. I love conditions with some fucking dry spicy mustard.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Stop it. But anyway, I want to talk to you guys about Sunday and Monday. I'm sorry. I cut you guys off short with the podcast Monday. My sister died and it took me by fucking storm. It was terrible. I got the text a week before from my niece saying that my sister wasn't doing too well. She fell ill and that the doctors gave her like a week.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Well, they don't fuck around in Cuba. When they give you a week, you die in a week. She died exactly a fucking week later and it took me by, you know, surprised. But she's 68. You know, I haven't seen her since I was three and she was maybe 10 or something like that. Who the fuck knows anymore? After my mom died, we lost contact for like 20 years. In 2009, we reconnected when I started talking to my uncle again and our relationship was good.
Starting point is 00:08:13 You know, I tried to invite her here, but she was such a fucking commie. She wouldn't come anyway, you know, but I still loved her anyway. I understood I'm happy that my sister passed away because her dream and my mother's dream are now fucking they came to fruition that with each other. So hopefully they're up there jumping up and down, calling each other fucking names and shit. You know, my mother not having Maggie, that's her name, Maggie, my sister killed her. That was the slowest torture in the world. I'm getting separated, but it was just a story of immigration.
Starting point is 00:08:52 You know, this isn't something that just happened to my family. This has happened to families from all over the world and they migrate to the United States. Sometimes a father would come and get settled and then send back for his kids. It's a fucking painful to live without your kids. I know firsthand, but my mother went through that and it was sad to see her go through that in a daytime. She'd be a barrel of laps and then at night, once she was by herself, the pain would creep up on her. You know, we all have that, you know, it's like when somebody close to you passes away, you know, for a couple of months, you're fine in the daytime, you're around people, you're at work, you're with your friends, you're giggling at night
Starting point is 00:09:35 when you're by yourself, it weighs heavy on you. So it weighed on my mother for years and I know it weighed on my sister. Because even when I spoke to her, we didn't talk for a long time and then we reconnected, we would have conversations and she would tell me that, you know, her mother told us she was coming back for her. And my mother never left in Cuba, Fidel closed the fucking borders, he wouldn't let anybody in or travel. We hired attorneys, we did everything we could, politicians tried to help us and we could never get my sister out and then she ended up marrying one of fucking Castro's soldiers, so she made a life for herself there. I'm a little sad, you know, I never got the, I never got closure with her to see her.
Starting point is 00:10:21 We spoke plenty on the phone and I'm good with that, you know what I'm saying? I'm one of those guys that, hey, I'll work it out, I'll call fucking, better help next week and talk to them and process this the right way, because I don't want this to come back and bite me in the ass later. So I'm going to process this, I'm going to grief this the right way and it's funny, we just had Jesse Paluso on here speaking about grief, you know, listen, everybody's going through this right now. The last two years, everybody's lost somebody, a friend, a relative, an uncle, an aunt, and we all feel a little weird. This was my fucking, whatever, my sister going, but hey, let's move the fuck on. It's a great fucking week, tomorrow's St. Patty's Day.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Besides eating corned beef tomorrow, I don't know what I'm going to do. I still remember fucking getting on a bus and we used to do a, like I did it one year, I didn't really, what am I talking about? Corky, my friend Gregory, seven day weekend, he would get a bus and we would all get on the bus and stop at all the Irish bars in the city and do the crawl. Oh, it's insane. The bus smelled like puke, everything smells like fucking puke, but it's a great day, you know, there's always something going on. You know, my daughter's excited about it, I'm excited about it. Who the fuck knows?
Starting point is 00:11:39 A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to, you know, in the car, I have Sirius XM. So I listened to a lot of classic vinyl. I listened to a lot of Ozzy's Bonyard. I listened to Octane. I listened to Disco Studio 54. They got great stations, 70s, 70s by 70s, 80s in the 80s. I don't fucking know. They're all, real lithium is great.
Starting point is 00:12:01 They're all great stations, you know, and last week, I mean, I've known a jelly roll for a long time or like friends, you know, but I thought he was more of a rapper, you know, and I've been caught up in my own world with music the last couple of years. A couple of weeks ago on Octane, he did a two hour show, one hour show or something on Octane, and I was in the car driving. And it was one of those things that you don't want to get out of the car. You want to finish this concert. It was like a couple of years ago, Guns N' Roses ended their tour at the forum, and it was a Monday night. And I'll never forget that I went out. My neighbors had gone to the Guns N' Roses tickets.
Starting point is 00:12:40 They told me they had a box, but I had a podcast that night. And I'll never forget coming home from the podcast and listening to the live Guns N' Roses from that show. They were there right as it was going on. They were taping it at Sirius and broadcasting it and fucking Slash was going off, Jack. Like Slash was going fucking off and I'm like, damn, I wish I was there. This is how it was with Octane with fucking Jelly Roll. His voice sounded so fucking tremendous. It's so deep.
Starting point is 00:13:12 It's so soulful, you know, that dead man walking. He's got a couple songs that are fucking tremendous. Well, after I heard the Octane, I called them up like a motherfucking man and I said, listen, I got to have you on the podcast. Because you, my friend, they're on your way up, you know, it's just tremendous music. You know, I even let my wife listen to it because she's from Nashville. His voice is so fucking soulful. It's like Barry White meets Attemptations meets Johnny Cash meets fucking, you know, it's tremendous. But anyway, judge for yourself.
Starting point is 00:13:49 We did a little fucking zoom. I hope you enjoy it. This is my man Jelly Roll. Give him some love. Check one, two. Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint. Uncle Joey! Welcome to the joint, my brother.
Starting point is 00:14:21 What's happening, Jelly? Man, I am awesome, dude. How are you today, my friend? Dude, Uncle Joey, I got to do the coolest thing over. You knew this because we talked over the weekend. I got to wake up this morning, hungover, and announce my Red Rock show on Morning Radio in Denver, Colorado. Holy shit. I know you were talking, the guy hit me up in Columbus.
Starting point is 00:14:42 You know what's crazy? I called him after our boy Loper. Loper and Randy Razer. I fucking love them. I've known them since Florida. Yeah, yeah. She's getting prettier every time I fucking see her. She's getting hotter and hotter.
Starting point is 00:14:57 She's got like four kids. She's fucking beautiful. Yeah, she's getting younger and he's getting older. This is a typical, typical marriage, right? Like me and my wife. Yeah, they're good fucking people. How long have you been married for, Gels? I've been married going on seven years.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Wow. And you have children? The bestest I ever made. Oh, yeah. You have children? Yeah. I got a, almost, she's also be 14 in like a month. We got full custody of her.
Starting point is 00:15:23 We've had full custody of her since she was eight or seven. So I guess seven, eight years now almost. And I got a seven year old boy, six year old boy. Fucking tremendous, huh? Yeah. They will see you perform? Oh yeah. No Bailey performs with me.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I'm going to send you a clip when we hang up. So my daughter, she writes raps. She writes songs. She plays the piano. She plays the guitar. She's incredible, man. This kid is like golden. She's everything.
Starting point is 00:15:51 It's just insane. And she's got a cool story, Uncle Joey. So her mother had had a bout with heroin and addiction early in Bailey's life. So I ended up getting full custody of her, you know, and my wife took her in and raised her as her own. She calls my wife, mama, and her biological mom, mom, which I'm proud to say her mother's sober now,
Starting point is 00:16:12 but her mother had about a five year period where she just, you know, just kind of disappeared, you know? And Bailey came to me when she was like eight or nine, you know, kind of mad about it. And I was like, well, just write it out. You know, that's how I used to deal with my stuff when I was your age. Just write it out.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And I thought she'd, you know, write how she felt, because she'd get emotional, you know? This kid came back with a rap, Uncle Joey. She went upstairs like her daddy thought I meant go write a song about it. And the kid came back with like a rap about how she felt about, you know, this situation. So it was awesome, man.
Starting point is 00:16:45 I ended up putting her on the album and it was just cool, man. So she gets on like every other album. Now the kid has published, you know, like my last four albums where she writes songs. That's fucking tremendous, man. Yeah, he's awesome. You know, Mike and I were just talking about the music business. It was hard when I was young.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Now it's even fucking harder. And right now we're catching you on the motherfucking upswing. I feel in my balls that you're about to blow up, especially after this tour that you guys have. Yes, sir. This summer, that fucking one show in Louisville. I gotta tell you, man, I don't, I'm not a big festival guy because you commit you're there all fucking day in this,
Starting point is 00:17:32 in the heat, people are puking next to you. You smell VD in the air. You know, it's a fucking those outdoor festivals. But I tell you, the lineups on that festival are fucking tempting. Oh, dude, here's the good news. You come. You ain't got to worry about dealing with the heat. We'll go from bus to show to bus to show.
Starting point is 00:17:52 That's it. Yeah, for sure. Well, now you must get high and then we'll get a golf cart to pick us up. Go see who wants to see right back to the bus to get high again. Now, are you performing all four days or just a one day? I just got the one day. I think I landed on the the Sunday.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I believe the Sunday. And who else on that show? Kiss. Oh, yeah. It was kiss. I have to look back at the at the list, but I think the Foo Fighters, Jane's Addiction. God, it's I mean, everybody, it's huge.
Starting point is 00:18:25 It's like this is going to be the biggest rock festival in America like attendance wise ever. I fucking couldn't believe the bands. I can't believe who's going to be there. That's a great fucking festival. This guy. So Danny Wimmer presents this guy named Danny Wimmer. He's still one of the last independent promoters left in on Earth.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Old school Indie guy. And he throws four big festivals a year. Incarceration in Ohio. Rockville down in Daytona Beach at the Daytona Motor Speedway. Louder than life in Louisville, Kentucky. And after shocking Sacramento and every one of them are fucking 50 to 100,000 people. Huge rock festivals.
Starting point is 00:19:08 All rock bands. Old school. I played one year with guns and roses. I got the coolest thing in the world. I took my daughter with me. She's like maybe 10 at the time. And I'm playing like, you know, at this time I'm playing like the one 15 in the afternoon slot right on stage seven.
Starting point is 00:19:24 You know what I'm thinking like. And we're out there rocking. You know, we're cutting our teeth and paying our dues. We still had a huge crowd. So we were stoked and we go to see that an ice cube played that night. Before gun roses. Man. So ice cubes up on stage and he's rocking.
Starting point is 00:19:41 And he comes off stage and now keeping in mind, my daughter is, you know, 10. She don't know on the way there. She's like, what's ice cube doing at this festival? And she's like, she knows him from, are we there yet? Like she knows him from the movie. You know what I mean? And I was like, oh, wait till you see this shit.
Starting point is 00:19:59 So I play her ice cube the whole way to Louisville, you know, and ice cube comes off stage. He took a picture with one person at that whole festival. Danny Wimmer told me this himself. He took one picture the whole day he was there. And it was with my daughter. So Bailey's got a picture with ice cube. It's like one of my pride possessions of her childhood.
Starting point is 00:20:18 You know, fucking crazy. Yeah. And I was so proud of her when she posted a picture. The capture said today was a good day. I was like, that's my fucking kid, dude. That's my fucking kid. So we've seen guns and roses that night. It's electric.
Starting point is 00:20:35 You should come man. I'm telling you. Let me talk to Florentine. Florentine has an older brother that goes to all those festivals, you know, the one in Tennessee, all of them. I think you were at the one in Tennessee when what's his name fell off the stage last year, right? Didn't he fall off the stage to sing it from Motley Crue?
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah. Yeah. He was all fucked up. Yeah, Vince Neil. Yeah. You want to talk about getting a bad, bad hand? He was killing it. You know, he always gets a bad rep for like singing sometimes,
Starting point is 00:21:06 you know, or whatever. And he was like, they were like saying he was having like one of the best vocal performances in 20 years for 15 years. And it walks out there and misses the fucking step between the speaker and the stage. Shit. That guy's the kiss of fucking death. He really is the kiss of death.
Starting point is 00:21:25 And I love him to death, but no, he can't. When did you know you wanted to sing, brother? Man, I didn't. I felt limited by options. Life had limited my options at that point. And it's all I've ever wanted to do. I like never wanted to do anything. I never liked my mom tells the story.
Starting point is 00:21:45 I never wanted to be a firefighter. I never wanted to be a wrestler. Like I wasn't like most kids, you know, I wasn't like, I didn't want to be a police officer, you know, a football player. I wanted to be a rapper. I wanted to be a rocker, you know, like I wanted to sing. I wanted to write music ever since I was like seven or eight. You said something very interesting.
Starting point is 00:22:05 You said that the limitations what you had available to you. What do you mean by that? You know, so we grew up in a like middle lower class community. You know, at my core, my mother was a bartender. My father was a meat salesman at book bets. So you didn't see a lot of people where I'm from to this day. Very few people from my little neighborhood in Nashville did anything.
Starting point is 00:22:33 You know, I still got family members who have never left my neighborhood. Like they've never even come to my shows on the other side of town. You know what I'm saying? It's like in your world, it's like a motherfucker grew up in Brooklyn and never went to Manhattan. You know what I'm saying? It's like that's how they feel.
Starting point is 00:22:50 You know, I got people the old Southern motherfuckers that are still in that same trailer park right now. It's like, yeah, we're just, you want to see us come see us. I'm like, yo, I like send you a black car to come eat dinner with me. We're like, yeah, we don't care. You bring your, you bring your Hollywood ass to this trailer park.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Come holler at us. We're not going nowhere. You know, they're just, so I just, I didn't see too many options and I knew I was an athletic, right? And I was been chubby my whole life and music just kind of was the language of the neighborhood. You know, it's a, it just spoke to me in a way that the way I explained it to people on was music is something we
Starting point is 00:23:25 felt where I'm from. We didn't listen to it. It wasn't background noise. Like when songs, certain songs came on, you watched the whole fucking neighborhood shut the fuck up. You know, like everybody was in this song. Like, you know, conversations would stop if the right song came on the radio, you know, my mother used to sit at the kitchen
Starting point is 00:23:46 table and she'd be smoking cigarettes, right? My mother, you'd love her to death. Uncle Joe is, she is fucking as white trash as you would expect her to be. I fucking love this bitch. She is so white trash, right? So she's sitting at the table. She's wearing a fucking nightgown, a moomoo smoking a cigarette. She's an old country of shit smoking a cigarette right there
Starting point is 00:24:07 at the kitchen table and she'd have a record plan and she just closed her eyes and she struggled with like addiction stuff and mental health shit, you know? And I'd watch her smoke that cigarette and she'd just be just, she was happy. And it's like the only time I ever seen her like truly escape the shit, you know? And I tell people if a doctor would have helped my mama,
Starting point is 00:24:28 I might be a fucking brain surgeon. But music helped my mama, you know what I'm saying? So music was what I related to helping, you know? She played these old classic Motown records. Backfield in motion, it's against the rules. And she'd just be sitting there just smoking a cigarette, just backfield in motion, you know, singing her little ass off and she was just having a ball.
Starting point is 00:24:50 I don't know what pills she was on, but I know that when that song came on and she hit that cigarette, she was fucking woo, you know? And I just remember thinking, man, I want to make people feel the way she feels. Like to this day, I listen to the middle of the rows and I cry because I think about my mother sitting at that table, just smoking a cigarette, smiling, going play this in my funeral, baby, Jason.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Play this one right here for me, boy. This is the one. You know, she just crank it loud, you know? And I just, I think about that stuff and how music made her feel. And I was like, I want to make people feel the way music makes her feel, you know? It's a good way of looking at it, man. But no, when you said about your options, it's so weird how, I wasn't the same boat.
Starting point is 00:25:33 We all feel like we don't have a lot of options, especially when our parents are dead or they don't have money and we can't go to college. You know, everybody, you know, if you don't go to college, you're kind of not anymore because college is a waste of fucking time now. But when I was going to school, if you didn't go to college, nobody really wanted to talk to you. Right. You know, the biggest thing in the seventies was being like, if you were a high school dropout, you might as well be a fucking junkie.
Starting point is 00:26:00 You know, that was the, so I quit high school. You know, then I got the felonies. I was a criminal. I was hooked on drugs and that's the same thing. You know, we're limited. You know, I really wanted to be a musician, but I know I would have pawned that motherfucking guitar. It doesn't take a genius to know.
Starting point is 00:26:20 If I would have gotten to music, I would have been one of those guys that would have had to take this to fucking amp out of Hock, the guitar out of Hock. Like, are we doing a gig Friday night? I don't know. I need $59 to get my fucking amp out of Hock. I was always one of those guys. That's why I went for comedy because all you need is a microphone. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:40 So the fuck is, you know, and then the microphones provided and that's it. Yeah. Right. So when you said that, it's very, uh, like this is what was handed to you and you ran with the fucking thing. Yeah. I made a decision when I was 16, one of 15, I'm not proud of that we had, uh, we had got caught up in a, in a robbery case, me and a couple of, a couple of friends and, uh, I
Starting point is 00:27:08 ended up being deemed as making charges an adult right then. So I sat in the juvenile detention facility here in Nashville. I went the first time when I was 14 and I came home at 15, when I came home from the transitional center, I ran, ran away or whatever and, uh, caught a robbery case while I was out and went back in, ran and caught a third case. There was an old robbery that had came back to haunt me and I sat in that juvenile for like two, two and a half years, a juvenile penitentiary until the judge was like, no, we think he made the decision.
Starting point is 00:27:42 He was in, you know, they charged me as an adult, probably 16, 17 years old. And I went to the adult prison then with a violent charge and in the state of Tennessee, Uncle Joey, they don't forgive violent offenses under no circumstance. It's unexpungible down here. Like I need like a pardon or something. So at that moment I was like, dude, I'm never going to, you know, I'd already knew music for what I wanted to do, but I knew it was the streets or music at that point. I was, I've been in just my life at that point.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I've already got hand tattoos, neck tattoos, and I'm all the way there with it, you know. So I was just like, man, I got to figure this shit out. And I came home and got riled up in a little more trouble and, uh, had to go back and do the Y2C one more time. I had to go do the Texas two step in the county jail a little bit more. I got to tell people I hadn't finished touring the, uh, the fine prisons of the state of Tennessee at that point. I needed to see a couple more.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And then I came home and while I was gone, I got a young woman pregnant on the way out, on the way in. So when I came out, the kid was two, hence the 14 year old that lives with me now. And that was the turning point for me. But yeah, I just, I felt option as much. I tell you all the time that our stories were so similar. You're like the guy always related to the most in that world. Cause it was like, you know, I didn't see nothing but this for me.
Starting point is 00:29:08 It was just music. It was like, I started selling mixed tapes out of the trunk, you know, right here in Nashville. I just like ride around when I got out of jail and sell mixed tapes out of the trunk and T shirts and shit. And here you are. Here you fuck. You know, you were.
Starting point is 00:29:25 So when you came out and your daughter was two, what was your first? When was the first time you went into the studio? When was the first time you wrote a lyric? What were you feeling? I had a lot of stuff from jail where I just sat in there for a couple of years and wrote, you know, I just wrote a bunch and I'll send you the clip of the video, but I came home and my dude at the time, YouTube was new and I was so lucky. I got to YouTube early.
Starting point is 00:29:51 My uncle Joey, it was bad when you had to go on a hard desktop computer and type in YouTube, you know, cell phones. And my dude had bought like one of these little camcorders from my dude chat arms have bought a camcorder from Best Buy or some shit. Like, you know, like an old standard, like, you know, digital, but you know, you still flipped it, you know, Sony cam or whatever. And Chad was like put on a beat in the studio, like fifth day out of jail, the house studio, the home he had.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And he's like, yo, wrap to this jelly. So I've been in jail, so I'm fired up, right? And I'm just like wrapping and just I'm just talking shit. Well, he ends up posting the clip on YouTube and back then it went viral. This is 10, 11 years ago were viral back then was like a couple hundred thousand views. You know, this, this was like, you know, not long after fucking karate with Uncle Joey, right? This is that era where like little clips like it was so new to the internet shit was like,
Starting point is 00:30:48 and it ended up getting put on world star hip hop early in the world star hip hop days. And that was kind of the beginning of it launching some shit for me. And we ended up having to take the video down because in the video, I have a famous line where I say, if they call the 10 minute freestyle, but I said, if my P.O. asked, I hadn't brought one. Well, the shit went viral enough. My P.O. was like, yo, you can't be like making a mockery of this shit on the internet. Like take this shit down.
Starting point is 00:31:15 So when I got off probation, we put it back up. So I think the most recent upload still like eight years old. And it did a couple ended up doing a few million views. And it was off to the races from there, man. We just started chasing the YouTube thing, you know? That's, that's what it was like for everybody. I remember those days where if you had like 20,000 downloads, fucking, you were like number eight on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I'll never forget being like number three. Oh yeah. Oh shit. I'm going to get a boat pretty soon. I never got a boat. Yeah. Who gives a fuck if you're number three and number one? But I remember those days like people would stop me on.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Those Joey Karate videos were fucking. Listen, man, I was in Chicago. I had gotten fucked up the night before. I had to get on a plane, a Southwest flight from Midway to LAX. I'm in the air and I'm like, I got to figure something out with my fucking life. And I used to go to Taekwondo on Sunset Boulevard next to Elton Padre and across in the guitar center right there. There's a right next to the Sunset Grill, which Don Henley sang about right across the
Starting point is 00:32:26 street is a Mooda Kwan Taekwondo place on Sunset. I was bored one day I went in there. I had studied that style in Colorado. So when I moved to do comedy, I saw it. I'm like, oh my God. You have this in LA. And the guy's like, yeah, come on. It took me about two or three, four years to go in there.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I finally went in and every time I would be in there, I was 400 pounds, Joey. So every time I had the guion, you know, I'd be doing the forms and shit. People would just be walking by like, you know, like minding their own business. And all of a sudden they were just looking to the karate school and I'd see them go, what the fuck is that? And they would call the whole family over and they would just stare at me doing these moves with the fucking, you know, with my fucking chubby body and the green belt and shit.
Starting point is 00:33:14 So I was coming back and I just said, you know what? I'm going to make a fucking video today. A Joey Karate video. I'd never done it before. So I ran and I called my buddy from Burbank Airport and he goes, I'll meet you in 30 minutes at the house. I got home to the shower. Boom.
Starting point is 00:33:30 We did our first Joey Karate video and it was fucking insane. It was really insane back then. Like if you were a kid out of college, you know, the kids come out and they go to college. They want to be a doctor, but then when they're in college, they see for, you know, they're in frats and shit and they all watch Saturday Night Live. So then they get the entertainment bug and they fucking shoot videos and shit. I remember being in meetings at networks with these other young kids and all of us getting deals to fucking shoot videos.
Starting point is 00:34:05 That's how crazy it was back then. It was the real farm league. YouTube was really a farm team. If you made it on YouTube, oh shit, you were going to fucking, and hey, we did those Joey Karates until they died and now people beg me to do them again, but it's over. It's time to move on. You don't go back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:27 It's like people tell me all the time, do the 10 minute freestyle again. I'm like, listen, man, I'll never have that much to say that fast again. I had been sitting in a fucking six by eight cell for two years. I had a lot of wraps in my head. You know, I was like, I had been entertaining the place every Friday for fucking 100 weeks. I was ready to let it all loose, you know, you would entertain people in jail. Would you rap and shit and fuck around? Oh yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:34:55 We would, uh, we do freestyle Fridays and they would have this utility room, right? And I would, uh, I'd walk into the utility room with my sport because they give you a plastic sport when you first walked in, like instead of giving you somewhere every day, you got a sport when you came. It's like part of your shit. You know, like you keep this money. This is your way to lose it. If you use it, you cuff, right?
Starting point is 00:35:18 You know, so I'd go on there with my sport and I would, um, the utility room had a microwave or whatever. Everything's a plexiglass and I'd go beat on the plexiglass window. Man, Uncle Joey, this one, I knew I was on to something, right? I'd go and I do it. I do it third time. The third time I'd go. By the time I got to the beat, dude, dude, you would watch them start running in, right?
Starting point is 00:35:54 I wouldn't announce it. I just go, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon. And by the time I got to that last, that, that six, doon, the room would be filled. I doon, doon, doon, doon. And I just start rapping, right? And I'd be singing the choruses and then I'd rap the verses and then I'd sing the chorus and I'd pass it to like anybody. I'd be like, are you such a such, you know, and then he breathed and then I'd cut them
Starting point is 00:36:18 off and I'd bring the chorus back in and like make like, you know, it was a thing. And it was like, they knew it on Friday. Man, when I walked in there with the best fork, they just started piling in because there's only so much room in the utility room. So everybody's trying to get in here and then people out there watching, they're standing on tables. It was crazy. And I was like, yo, this shit might work.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Now, keep in mind, I'm like one of three white dudes in a 220 man unit. You know, and I tell people, I'm still from the era where, especially in hip hop, you throw a rock right now and you hit a white dude that can rap, right? You know, every, you know, I know, I live in the country music capital of America and these country music dudes, every time I get drunk with them, like, I be rapping dude, you know, they want to rap to me, you know. And it's in my era. No, sir.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Nobody. There was very few white rappers, the Beastie Boys. Eminem was bubbling. We had a guy named Haystack down here. This was even before Bubba Sparks had put out his first shit, you know, it wasn't, if you was a white dude that wrapped, you better be one really good and two, you better be good and two, you better have a bunch of black dudes standing beside you going, oh, this is our guy.
Starting point is 00:37:24 You know, so for me to go in there and rock that place, man, I mean, I was rocking the violent offender gang unit of the prison, like the killers were just in there like riding with me like, yo, this white boy is crazy. You know what I'm saying? I'm singing these super soulful choruses though. You know what I mean? And then it just kind of connected and when I came home, I played with it before, but when I came home, I was like, no, we're going all in because I played with it one time when
Starting point is 00:37:55 I made Bond at 17, my father, God rest his soul, came and bonded me out and I called him the day they transferred me from juvenile to the adult jail and I had a radio in jail and the radio was like Sunday night, out of limits, freestyle battle, thousand dollars cash prize, right? So when I called my dad, I'm like, hey man, come get me. A thousand dollars back Sunday. I was like, yeah, I just got to, you know, I will, I need you to buy me out and I need to borrow a hundred dollars.
Starting point is 00:38:24 I need to sign up for it because it's like a hundred dollar entry fee, you know, and I was like, and then I'll give you the other, you know, the money and I'll go win this thing. And I had the most loving dad and mother because they just believed me. Like it wasn't like some kid that was saying weird shit to them. Like they knew how much I believed in myself. So he was like, okay, I went to Joey. I snuck in because I was underage. I won that fucking freestyle battle.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I went in there and won that thousand dollars and it was a 10 week competition. I won it for the next nine weeks. It was like a job. Every Sunday I would go to the fucking black club and just roast people, just smoked them. And then of course my bond got violated and back out. There goes the revolving door of the jail. But yeah, so I mean, I knew I was always into it. It just started working.
Starting point is 00:39:13 So funny how now that I think about listening to your story about jail and my story, man, that's a great way to fucking develop as a performer because you always got a fucking audience. You know what I'm saying? They ain't got nothing else to do. You can either sit in your room or come listen to my fucking stinky jokes until they get better. And even with music, I'll go in there with a ukulele. I'll play a fucking ukulele for some of those brothers. But the time they get out to all be listening to Don Ho, I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Because it's the truth. You're always going to have eight people to watch it. They're bored of shit. You can only watch so much fucking Bobby Flay and so much fucking America's most wanted. So food for thought for you young performers out there. Think big. Think jail first. Your story will be a lot fucking better, like ours.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Did you develop the comedy routine in there a little bit? Did you start getting into storytelling in there? I never fucking dreamt that doing stand up comedy. And a week before I got arrested, a guy I hated more than fucking anal sex came up to me and he's like, hey man, I know you don't like me. He goes, do you know what I did before I came to work here? And I have no fucking idea. I just didn't like the guy.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And he goes, I was in entertainment in Vegas. I hired comedians and musicians. And he goes, I'm not blowing smoke up your ass. You'd be a great comedian. I'm like, get the fuck away from me. Like I was still young, stupid. Like get the fuck away from me, you know? And then I kind of thought about it.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Then I got arrested. Then I came out on bail and I was just trying to get my life together. There was no stand up fucking comedy, you know? And then when I got sentenced, it took about a month to go to a destination, like to go to the prison that you go to diagnostic and then the prison, they find the prison for you. They sent me to a fucking camp, like a work camp, you know? And they did little activities.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And on Thursday nights had movie night. They would play like PT 109. They never played a movie you wanted to see. They were all black and white movies and shit. And the projector would always break. And when the projector would break, the fucking guys would go, Cuba, go up there and talk shit because I worked in the kitchen, in the jail, which is the best job in the jail.
Starting point is 00:41:35 It was me and 13 brothers. I had a guy at she that all he wanted to do was work on his freezes because he says if he's in jail for too long, the freeze won't sound, you know, like when he go freeze. So he come in the kitchen and go freeze. I tell him went to say it and all the fucking prisoners will hit the floor and shit. It was fucking tremendous. I would tell the prisoners with the food suck when they would come on the line.
Starting point is 00:42:00 There was a few of my friends and I would just yell out, don't do it. Don't do it. And they knew to run back to their room and get an apple in the bag of chips. So I was building like a personality in the kitchen. Like just being me fucking around. I didn't want to be a stand up. And when the projector would break, they go Cuba, get up there and talk about people. There was one black dude in the kitchen that nobody really liked.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Even the black dudes didn't like him. He was like one of those orange brothers with freckles and shit. And they used to fucking pay me to go off on him. And the guy, listen, the guy was tough and in debt. He was in there for murder. But thank God the guy had a sense of human. He was bored of shit. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:42:43 When you make somebody laugh in prison, it means a little more like people have no idea, especially when they came up to me and said, Doug, why are you always so happy? People don't like people in prison that are happy. And I'm like, well, they're going to have to suck my dick because this is who I am. What do you want me to sit here and walk around with a mean face all fucking day? You know, and it was like eight Thursdays in a row. I went up and for the first time after like the 10th, like this fifth Wednesday, I thought about it Thursday.
Starting point is 00:43:13 I'm like, maybe I do have a career and stand up. I'm like, that's never going to happen. You know, none of that shit's going to happen for me. And it wasn't to the librarian who was in there for killing his wife and the mailman. He came home from work and he found the mailman fucking his wife. So he killed the wife and he blasted the mailman, which made it a federal case. Tremendous. That's why I shoot the mailman.
Starting point is 00:43:40 They'll send you to a better prison. Always shoot the mailman. So you end up up in Lompoc riding horses and playing tennis with gangsters, eating fucking Cavatelli and shit like that. So when he told me that I should get into comedy, he gave me a notebook and he goes, if you don't get into comedy by the time I get out, I'm going to come down and kill you. So for years, I was ready for this motherfucker to come to one of my shows. Obviously he must have killed another mailman in jail because I haven't seen this cocksucker at all.
Starting point is 00:44:15 And that's how I got into it. That's how I fucking got into it. But I, let me ask you something. Are you happy that you went to jail? You know, this is the way I thought about this. I think that it paved the path for where I ended up. And I'm not proud of the things I did that made me end up in jail, you know? But I do think that carved the path.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I don't think I'd have been who I am today had I not went through every part of the journey, including the fucked up shit like jail. It gave me the closest thing to character and discipline and integrity I ever had. You know, I had to learn how to politics. You know that you was in there. Like I'd learned how to pop. Dude, I wasn't juvenile at fucking 14. You know, there's 17 year old dudes in there fucking bench pressing baby mammoths with beers.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I'm fucking 14. You know what I'm saying? I fucking, you know, I don't have one piece of hair on my dick yet, right? My balls haven't dropped. I still got this voice. You know, and I'm in there with dudes that fucking look like they're fucking people's moms and shit, you know, in a juvenile penitentiary. And I had to learn how to politics and move in a room full of vultures.
Starting point is 00:45:33 And it taught me a lot about that. And it helped me develop the craft too. I had never, I told this to my daughter recently, Uncle Joey. I said, listen, because, you know, she's a songwriter now. And I said, baby, listen, I can write a thousand songs with you, but I can't write a thousand songs for you. And if I could, I already did it because I wrote thousands of songs, you know, and I wrote thousands of songs in jail. I mean, hundreds and hundreds of songs in jail, you know, just like, what the fuck else was I going to do? That's another thing.
Starting point is 00:46:06 If you want to write an album, go to jail. Go to jail. Because you write the best fucking album in the world. Nobody's bothering you. You can try your jokes on the cooks. You can write the jokes that night. Next time I do a special, if I ever do, I'm going to jail for a year. That's going to be the best fucking special you've ever heard in your goddamn life.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Dude, we should just go be cellmates for a year. Nobody's calling you. Nobody's bothering you. No. Right. It's like, I had to learn who I was because, you know, you've so much time you're spending just here, just having to deal with you, you know? And I definitely, you know, I think it definitely gave me a lot of the charisma I had because I had to move around.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I had to shock. I had to move a little bit there, Joey. You know, I got in some hairy spots, you know? I was running canteen and peddling a little weed in there and a little coke. You know, I had a little thing going. I was, you know, I learned how to politic with all sides, but I hate what I went through to get there. But I'm glad that it worked out for me, you know? I always tell people going to prison, let me know what I didn't want to do.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I tell people all the time, I think the worst thing that anybody could do for you as a man is kick your bed and tell you to wake the fuck up. Nobody knows how much that bothers me. A man, if a woman wants to kick the bed and put a piece of pussy on me, wake me up, bitch. Wake me up before you go, go. You know what I'm saying? I want to eat that monkey fucking slow, slow. So it's just weird that when a man takes your fucking bed and says, get the fuck up, you sack of shit. That's a reality in prison.
Starting point is 00:47:51 And that was one thing I said to myself, nobody's ever going to do that to me again. And then they make you stand up just to make your bed and then you can lay back down. Yeah, they lay back down. Most frustrating on earth. I was scared of spending the rest of my life in jail, but I knew I was going to take shit from those people in that, you know? And it was fine after a month. I got along with everybody, but that's what I'm grateful to go to jail because it let me know it. It told me what I needed to do, what I had to do.
Starting point is 00:48:22 And it also let me know the things I didn't want to do anymore that you're not supposed to do as a man. I don't give a fuck what they tell you. You know, I was sad going to jail and seeing these people talking about and you've seen this gels people talking about all the gels. They've been to like they went on tour. Oh, yeah, they did a fucking national tour. I went to Red Rocks. I did the garden. I did fucking Tucson.
Starting point is 00:48:48 I did Atlanta. These guys will sit there for hours and tell you all the gels you've been to and stuff. And they'll start telling you what they liked about. What they liked about it. They were like, yo, the food over there was banging. Oh, my God. You know, TV was just like, what? Yeah, they got cable.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Well, you don't have cable at home. You got to go to fucking jail for cable. Yeah. I'll tell you, I wasn't some good gels, dog. I was in Boulder County jail that was voted the number one jail in Colorado. That motherfucker had carpets, cable TV and Kool-Aid. And they let you talk on the phone till the, if the dorm was up till one, they let you talk on the phone till one.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Wow. Long distance calls too. I was calling everybody all over the, I was calling China, Japan. I didn't give a fuck. Those states get good rates on their phone services. You know what changed it for me, Joey, when I walked in and whenever I, the bond thing, it came out and I had to go back to the adult jail. And I went in, did the time, came home, was violated again.
Starting point is 00:49:53 And the last time I went, when I was an intake, a guy that I was in juvenile with eight years before that, right? Nine years before that something, Joey comes and sees me like, what's up, jelly man? I'm like, oh shit. I didn't see you since we were in such and such juvenile spot. He was like, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, they, he told me right there.
Starting point is 00:50:12 And he's like, they're going to classify you to the unit, you know, the unit where all the, the shit is, you know, I just, because of my charges, previous, I knew where I was going. I go there every time. So I'm like, yeah, who was over there? He's like, bro, everybody we was in the juvenile penitentiary with. And at that moment I was like, because he was happy to tell me that like, oh, you're going to love it.
Starting point is 00:50:29 It's a family reunion. And it hit me in a way, Uncle Joey, where I was like, man, I got to break this man. Like this is, you know, I became a part of the revolving door. You know what I'm saying? Where it's like, you know, when you're getting a reception in the local jail from guys you've been locked up with on and off for 10 years, they're like, shelly Rose here, what's up big dog? You know, and they're like, and of course I'm just like, man, this shit ain't,
Starting point is 00:50:54 I got to change this and I ain't been back and do that. I go back now. I go to the juvenile once every three months and talk and do like a seminar and I send them pizzas and I'm currently working to build a studio in that juvenile that I was in for all those years. But besides going back to see talk to people, man, I ain't been, man, I hadn't had a crossword with a law officer in fucking, fucking 10 years, 12 years.
Starting point is 00:51:19 It's been close to the last time I got a ticket, which had to be 20 years ago. That's the last time I had, you know, police contact trouble. It's been since 97. You know, and you just, if you're at home watching this, listen, man, you get in trouble, you get caught by drugs. It's a fucking rotating door. Me and jelly will tell you all fucking day long, but you get stronger sometimes. You get stronger and you go, I don't want to do this anymore.
Starting point is 00:51:53 And that night you'll end up doing a gram of coke. That's okay because you're heading in the right direction. Once you acknowledge all this shit that what you're missing and what you should be doing, you're heading in the right direction. It takes a while. I mean, Jelly Roll, you're talking about all this shit and you're at the precipice of, you know, blowing your talent like you're a fucking huge talent. You know, what are your influences?
Starting point is 00:52:22 I'm very curious to find out here. So I was the baby. I have a, I have two older brothers and an older sister and my sisters, my older sister's boyfriend, husband now has been with her since I was like two. So I always had him in the house and because of being the baby, I never got to control the radio, right? So I think that's what makes my sound so unique is, you know, when I'm listening, when I'm hanging out with mama, we're listening to like Motown, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:52:55 We're listening to, uh, sitting in the morning sun. Navi's sitting when the evening comes. I get in the car with Pops and he's bumping James Taylor, right? Or like Kenny G. He was singer-songwriter. He liked softer music like jazz or like James Taylor, Jim Croci, you know, all those classic singer-songwriters. And then I get in the car with my brother and he's nothing but Tupac, right? He's like gangster, wrapped out like my older brother, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:26 And then I get in the car with my sister and she's listening to nothing but Metallica, the black owl. Nothing but, you know, like, like all this rock and metal. And I never got to get in the car and say what I want to listen to. I'm the baby, right? You know, I'm the look, I'm the baby of the house. So every time I would get in the car, because, you know, I'm from an era. I joke with my daughter all the time. She walks around with her fucking iPhone, you know, Blair music, you know, she'll be in one room, her iPhone playing music.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Bunny's my wife's in another room, iPhone playing music. You know, we take music everywhere now. In my era, you listen to music one or two fucking places in the car or in the house. And that was if you was rich enough to buy the CD or cassette tape twice. You know what I mean? You have a cassette or you had this transfer with you, you know? So every time I would ride or something, I just listened to different music. And I was kind of influenced by all of it. I went to Lollapalooza in 97.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Snoop Dogg, my sister took me Snoop Dogg to corn and prodigy or plan. Okay. And I remember watching it go from Snoop Dogg to corn to tools and thinking, man. I want to do all that. Like right then I just was like, and I remember how well it went over. This is 97. You know, people act like John or blending is like a new thing now. You know, it's like, dude, this is 1997.
Starting point is 00:54:51 I watched Snoop Dogg come out literally between prodigy and fucking corn. You know what I mean? This is the height of Snoop Dogg. This is 97 Snoop Dogg. This is like the year after Pockdad. This is gangster party. This is, you know, Jenna's new Snoop Dogg. This is like Snoop Dogg, you know?
Starting point is 00:55:08 No, it was the case that they gave me Snoop Dogg. Yeah, this is that Snoop Dogg. This is pinnacle Snoop, you know? And he shut that motherfucker down and he smoked a joint on stage. You know, back then that was like, he might as well have been shooting heroin in front of everybody in 97 in Nashville in the Bible belt. You know what I mean? He might as well just been doing big stripes and cocaine in front of the whole world, you know?
Starting point is 00:55:31 And he comes off stage and then corn comes out and this is corn, you know, Adidas corn all day. I dream about sex. This is like that corn, you know? And I just like, just watched it and I was like, man, this is crazy. I just left so inspired. I was like, I want to do that. You know, that's what I told my sister then and it's funny. It was at an amphitheater and this is this year besides this East Coast run I'm fixing to do
Starting point is 00:56:00 which is club dates from last year. I played nothing but amphitheater as the rest of the year. Ain't that crazy, Joey? That's crazy. That's crazy. Dude, 25 years removed from going to my first show ever which was at an amphitheater. I'm playing them. I'm like, holy fuck, man, it's just fucking, it's bad enough.
Starting point is 00:56:19 It's crazy, man. It really is crazy. As of today, Uncle Joey, we got the number six song on popular rock radio. Dead Man Walkers is the number six song on the popular rock radio. I got a song called Son of a Sinner that just broke into the top 50 on country radio. So we're flat, baby. I think it was that. Now, what's the band, SMS?
Starting point is 00:56:44 You did Dead Man Walking with? Who'd you do with somebody? Because that's, I had heard you earlier. You reached out to me and I heard one of your songs, but I thought it was like a rap. You did it with somebody else. Yeah. Well, I forgot which one it was. I'd had a freestyle too that we met each other on Twitter over Cushab and reposted it.
Starting point is 00:57:09 And I shouted you out because I've been such a Joey fan forever. This was a few years back and then I remember I said, man, flavors like Joey was happening now. And even back then, Joey retweeted it and put, there you go. There you go. But the shit I heard two weeks ago on Octane, I couldn't even get out of the car. Oh, dude, thanks. When you, when you listen to music and you don't want, you know, somebody called me the other day. Oh, how about this?
