Check one, two, welcome to Uncle Joey's joint. What's happening you bad motherfuckers? We're back. It's a beautiful day to be alive. Wednesday, April, the fucking 13th. I'm sorry about Monday. Listen guys, let's talk about this shit, you know, for the last time. And I don't want to bring it up, but I got it. And now they're doing it again. For the last two years, all you hear about is fucking, you know, how you're going to get this, how you're going to die,
Starting point is 00:07:12 how it's going to go in your chest, you're going to have to say goodbye to your loved ones on Facebook. You know, I'm still waiting for the pilot to die on Facebook. A hundred people, a thousand people died. Nobody saved the video of their uncle going, I can't take it no more, whatever. Let's put them together. Let's do a fucking movie at a movie theater. Everybody's looking for the next big fucking idea. I've been waiting for dying on Facebook for two fucking years. Nobody's put this fucking film together. Please, people, it's over. You've mourned them already. Take the footage of them dying with the tube in their nose. Let's put the film together. Let's get a big bag of popcorn. Everybody's crying. You know what I'm saying? COVID's going to fucking kill you.
Starting point is 00:07:48 But in that whole fucking time, they didn't say, oh God, it's about the fucking stomach flu that's going around. Where was this stomach flu invented? In a fucking back cave also? Jesus Christ. Listen, I had COVID. Granted, I had the gay variation. The fucking Omnicon, whatever the fuck it is. Omnicron. You know, he didn't show up with a full fucking set of bullets. You know what I'm saying? He showed up with like two bullets. You got a headache and a fucking stuffy nose. Get your shit together. That's the one I got. I got the little fucking, you know, I got the Peter. Like, what's the worst apostle? I don't even know anymore. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, like, I don't know, Peter, Lucas, whatever the rat, you know, fucking...
Starting point is 00:08:28 This stomach flu I had last week would fuck the fucking COVID up. It would fuck it up. It was nothing, guys. It was nothing. COVID got nothing on the fucking stomach flu. Nothing. I saw my wife, bro, I was talking to my wife and all of a sudden, you know, she comes back like somebody hitting the head with a bottle of gin. She's American Indian, so you never know what these motherfuckers... She's fucking, you know, looking around, I go, what's the matter? She goes, I don't know, Joey, I feel good. You know, my wife has that. We're getting older. I can't go lay down. Fuck, when I come back, I took mercy to the school Chick-fil-A fucking reunion. I like Chick-fil-A. Whenever they have those nights where if you go and spend the donates to the school, I call people.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Chick-fil-A's the hot joint today. And there was like three parents were talking shit. One of the moms ate a gummy tremendous, but I took a Chick-fil-A. When I got back, I brought a Chick-fil-A for my wife because that's what you do. And she's like, that's the last thing I want to see. She was in the shower laying down, just puking in the shower, the poor thing in a bucket. And I'm like, what the fuck happened? She's telling me all this. And the next day she was out of commission and, you know, me and my daughter had to do it out. You know, I don't know if I talked about on the podcast. You know, now nobody wants to hear if you're fucking sick anymore. Everybody's been sick for fucking three years. Nobody wants to hear it no more.
Starting point is 00:09:45 So I fucking, you know, Wednesday was just a fucking ho-hum day here. We fend for ourselves and, you know, we did little things. Thursday, she started feeling better. But next thing, you know, my daughter's fucking ill. Now we got her out of school. She's barfing. Talk, she was fine. She had a piece of ice cream and it just fucking went out of her mouth. Tremendous down for the night. Didn't even say good night. So she didn't go to school Friday. So I'm fine. You know, I'm looking at all this chaos in my house, people shitting. I'm smelling odors and shit.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I mean, I felt really bad for my fucking wife because she was, you know, she was just fucking wiped out. I mean, she, it just wipes you to fuck out for some reason. So Friday, I was like, fuck, you know, I'm feeling okay. And I did what I had to do. I had a few meetings. I had to do something for drafting. And the next thing you know, it was like in the afternoon, I'm like, something ain't fucking right here, you know. Just something didn't feel right when you don't feel right. Wasn't my stomach. I didn't have diarrhea. I just wrote it off to Friday. You know how like Friday at four, you're like, I'm feel a little run down today.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Like that's how I was feeling. Okay. You know, no big fucking deal. So I don't know what we did Friday night. You know, I don't eat shit on Friday because there's no meat. So I probably had like an egg salad fucking sandwich. And in fact, that's what I did have. I had an egg salad fucking sandwich. And you know, nothing really crazy. I don't know what we were supposed to do or whatever. And guys, the next thing, you know, I'm like, you know what, I want to get up early Saturday. I had a couple of fucking things to do and I took my little CVS gummies. They sell these over the county gummies at CVS to help you sleep.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Remember, I told you guys, I got to alternate everything. So some nights it's a fucking, some nights it's, you know, night quill without the quill. And some nights I do the gummies. Some nights I do the CBD diet. Last night I did the fucking DC, whatever the fuck those things are. I did the CBD line Delta eight guys. I'm still fucked up tonight. I ate them a little late because I had a little insomnia late night, but I was fucked up. So anyway, I ate these little grape gummies. No big deal. I eat them one night a week.
Starting point is 00:12:07 I buy them twice a month, maybe once a month. I eat like 10 of them. Regular people supposed to eat two. I eat regular, so I eat fucking 10 of them because I want to sleep like a baby. And I got the grape flavor. Like it just tastes different. It's great, you know. So fucking, it's like 10 o'clock. I'm talking to my wife. It's like nine o'clock. And my wife goes, I'm going upstairs, you know, do what you need to do. I was just going to finish up some paperwork and I ate these fucking gummies. I'm eating the gummies and doesn't even dawn on me.
Starting point is 00:12:38 And now I'm feeling it. I go upstairs. I go fucking, I'm going to go to bed. And I go upstairs. It's about 11 o'clock. I'm minding my own business. And next thing you fucking know, I got a barf. I got a barf again. I got a barf again. I got a barf again. I go fuck extreme the morning. What am I going to do? I'm not going to sleep, obviously. It's a barfathon. I came down here and I fucking watch some TV and, you know, but then I barf down here. And then one time I almost didn't make it. I had a puke, a half a puke in the tub in the bucket. And I was like, that's it. That's when my wife was barfing outside.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And next thing you know, I just ran upstairs and I don't know what you were even to take. And I think I drank a little Pepto Bismol. But it was fucking cold. My wife put it in the refrigerator. What the fuck is in the refrigerator for? I like a nice and warm, that pink little shit when you're drinking knife for your stomach. It takes those little pains away, those little things and shit. So I drank the fucking Pepto Bismol and that settled it. And I fell asleep and guys, I woke up to, this is exactly what I heard in my head. Hell is coming for breakfast. It's a scene from fucking the outlaw Josie Wales when he shows up
Starting point is 00:13:47 and he's got the gun in his hand with the white sheet on it. He played a fake surrender. You know how Josie doesn't, he don't surrender. He played a fake fucking surrender. And that's when the old, no, the old man, Indian goes, uh-oh. Oh God, hell is coming for breakfast and he just fucking mangles those fucking cock suckers. Anyway, that's what it was. Hell was coming for breakfast Jack. All I remember was puking, one smooth move. It was a puke and as I went down, I was pulling the back of my shorts down so I could do the quick turnaround to hopefully land my asshole right in the middle
Starting point is 00:14:23 so the explosion from my diarrhea that's about to come out. And that's exactly what happened. I barfed a little bit and I turned real quick and as I was pulling my shorts down, that little stream of black liquid was coming out mixed with chicken bones and bubble gum from the sixth grade and shit. When that hit that fucking thing and I'm like, oh, thank God I made it. And all of a sudden I'm like, whew, right? Like I got it. This is something out of a fucking movie guys. I'm like, whew, I got it. I missed it because you don't want to, you know, you're sick.
Starting point is 00:14:52 You don't want to clean up the boot. You have to wipe some shit down then when you get better, you go in there with the Lysol and the fucking cleaner. Guys and all of a sudden I'm sitting down like, whew, I made it bro. It was like the time I went to San Francisco and I said San Francisco is changed and some guy walked at me with a big dick painted sea spray paint for himself on naked and I'm like, I spoke too quick. Same fucking thing. And it was like, whew, I made it. And all of a sudden I just felt it. Like my eyes just opened and I could see my wife coming to check on me
Starting point is 00:15:24 and I go, Terry, get the bucket, you know, like the little garbage bucket and dog, I got to be honest with you and this is where the story ends. She missed the bucket. You know, I missed it. What am I saying? She missed the bucket. It's me puking. I'm doing the puking. I missed the fucking two points but this was the fucking crazy thing. Like I put, she put the bucket like by my chest level. But when it came out guys, the enforcer came out with, it just went up. And all I heard it was hit the tub. That's four feet away guys.
Starting point is 00:15:58 At that point I thought I was a fucking dead man. And after that one was when my head started pounding because I was definitely dehydrated. Listen, thank God again for liquid fucking IV. Thank fucking God. That's why I got a little bit of water here. You haven't heard it. And then I got my little bit of liquid IV because I'm still fucking recovering. You know what I'm saying? So that was it for me guys. Once I barfed that, I remember like I even helped her pick up the bathroom carpeting,
Starting point is 00:16:30 the shower carpeting, the little fucking island that sits around the toilet. It smells like 10 dead pisses because it's my piss that falls on there. I can't hit it with the turtle neck sometimes. We just put it all in the hamper and she said, leave it there. I just wiped my face. I put an ice bag on my neck and I tried to lay it on. There was no sleep. You sleep for 25 minutes and you got to go to the bathroom for 10. You sleep for 25, 10. And that was basically it till fucking Saturday.
Starting point is 00:17:00 That was all day. And then Saturday you're just sitting here. Thank God for my fucking producer of the year who said, smoke a little. You know, when I get sick like that, smoking is the last thing I think of, believe it or not. Yeah, it really is. Guys, it really is. I can't, you know, you can't put marijuana on everything. I cannot tell people that marijuana cures at all. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:25 I was having a conversation with her at the park and she goes, do you think nice lady, her husband's a cop? And she goes, do you think that marijuana thing? I tell you what, man, I'm not going to put this on a documentation, but I'll tell you what works for me. There was a time 30 years ago I had a fucking toothache so severe there was two times. I remember there was probably 20 years ago in Boulder when I was just starting comedy. I was flat broke and there was maybe a situation when I lived in Hollywood one holiday. They broke and I had a toothache and the doctor couldn't see me till like the third of January.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And I went those 10 days with no oxys, no nothing. Just straight up and I finally go, let me try the reefer. I'm going to taste some of my marijuana with a toothache. This is for Uncle Joey. If it takes you somewhere, it won't take care of the pain. But somewhere another, it gets your mind thinking. So you actually forget about the pain. It's really interesting how marijuana works for pain.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And then when you remember the pain, you visit it, you're like, oh shit, was it the marijuana? Or was it that I took my mind off the pain? It's a really interesting concept when you fucking think about what happened. And it works for me, guys. I'm not going to tell, you know, do you think the marijuana helps my knee pain? No. You know what I'm saying? So I don't want you to say, well fuck it, no.
Starting point is 00:18:45 And that's the same thing I say about CBD for some people. You know what, man? I love CBD line. It works for me. The fucking gummies work for me. The patch works for me. I've been rubbing the cream into my knee. Guys, I had another CBD line.
Starting point is 00:19:00 You know what I mean? I like to at least try. You know what I'm saying? Like it just didn't work for me. But they had a gummy that I felt I was fucking. So you understand me? Everything hits you differently when you judge that stuff. For me, I didn't even think about marijuana that day at all.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I was feeling like I was going to die. And I was coughing, you know. Obviously you could tell I got some type of fucking lung thing going on. So I was like, I don't think about it. And then I smoked and I'm like, okay, the first two hits were a little rough. I'm not going to lie to you. But then like the fourth hit, I'm like, okay, now I can have chicken soup. So I was like, fucking, I got to put a feather in Mikey's cap.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Fucking chicken soup. And I told Mike, Mike, I don't know about tomorrow because if I would have just got sick guys. And that's it. He could write it off to something. You had a bad hot dog. You had a bad fruit. You know, there's a thousand things you could write it off to. But when three people in your house get it, it's pretty simple that it's a virus.
Starting point is 00:19:55 It's contagious. So we either had to cancel Monday or it hits you in two days. We all got clobbered within fucking 48 hours. So Mike wouldn't be here Wednesday or somewhere another. I was going to short you this week. So my apologies to the other situation. And you know what? It's Easter week.
Starting point is 00:20:13 What the fuck? You people going to be traveling fucking smoking dope, having a great fucking time with your family. So, you know, enjoy cocksuckers. I know a lot of you is like listening to the podcast and stuff. We got some shit out. We got some stuff worked out, but it's not even about that. It's Easter week. Enjoy your family.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Enjoy your fucking surroundings. Eat some fucking hard boiled eggs far on the plane on the way home on the bus. I love this time of the year. I'm going to have a good time Sunday. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm not concerned with it yet. What I am concerned, I want to talk to you guys about something that came to my mind yesterday. I had to do something and had a specific time.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I had to be there like the guy goes, if you could be back by two o'clock, you know, it would be great. But if it's a situation, I go, no, no, no, I'll be there at two o'clock. You know, and there's one of these stories for you guys that I haven't, I didn't remember this shit, but I thought about it at that time and it was so helpful to me. You know, when I first got the longest yard, it was when I shot the movie, it was March of, I think I started shooting the movie in May of 2004. And, you know, I didn't think anything of it, guys. I just got the movie.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I went to Santa, went to wherever I thought Santa Fe, New Mexico, and I shot the movie. And I was there for about six weeks and then I came home and my agent said to me, you know, do you know how long you're going to be home for? And I go, yeah, I'm going to be home for in that. And we're shooting to November or December. It doesn't really matter. We're talking about August now. I'm not thinking about the future.
Starting point is 00:21:52 My agent says to me, there's a couple of companies that want to meet with you. I got you like 20 fucking meetings. So shoot me a schedule and I'll book the meetings around your movies or what do you stand up? You know, so no problem. I shoot in the schedule and a couple of days later, I go to Jerry's Deli in the valley just to write or something like that. And I see an agent up there. Was I tied with the agent?
Starting point is 00:22:21 Not really. I knew him from being out and he knew me. You know how low goodbye basis. I was just thinking about the story in the mentality just to let you guys know. So we're sitting at the table. I don't know. He comes over to my table and we start talking. He goes, do you mind if I sit?
Starting point is 00:22:37 I'm meeting one of my other clients there. And I go, no problem. And the client walks in. He's a friend of mine, you know, like I know him from the comedy scene. It's not like we jump up and down together. But he's sitting there. This guy's a pretty popular comic at the time, you know. He wasn't a star by any means, but the star was rising.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Funny guy, you know, like I sat and rumbled him in general circles. And that was the client. He was meeting. So we all sat together. You know, one thing came up to the other, blah, blah, blah. And when the guy saw me, he was trying to steal me. You know what I'm saying? Like he was trying to impress me or something.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I didn't know why I was pretty happy where I was. It wasn't like I was out. I was just out trying to write jokes. And I want to get an egg cream and maybe a bagel. That's the only reason you go to fucking Jerry's. They closed now and the food ended up sucking dick towards the end. It was just God awful the last fucking five years. But that was 2004.
Starting point is 00:23:37 And what they wanted to say to me was listen, man, you're going to get busy. They were trying to blow smoke in my ass like Hollywood. I don't know if you guys are watching Winning Time on LA. It's a show about the Lakers in 1980. How they started their run for the championship at Magic Johnson. Fucking interesting as fuck. That kid Riley, that he took that role as Dr. Jerry Buss. If he doesn't win the actor of the year for this role, I'm fucking done watching TV.
Starting point is 00:24:04 And I'm not even a big fan of his. I'm a fan of his work. I met him at Adam Sandler thing. I didn't really say much. I didn't know what to talk about. I loved you in Boogie Nights. You know, but this guy for years, I've heard how powerful an actor is. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:24:19 If you're not watching Winning Time on HB fucking, oh, it's interesting. You know, Magic Johnson's fucking on the phone with his mother and she's like, are you eating good? And you see him eating some fucking black chick and then are you going to church? He's banging another one doggy style and shit. It's crazy. It's a great show. Very, very entertaining, especially if you knew what was going on at that time. And I lived on that.
Starting point is 00:24:41 That was Magic versus Larry Bird. That was the beginning of the whole thing. But what my point is, I'm getting, because there's a scene in there where he has to go to a meeting to sell sneakers. And I got like flashbacks. This is what makes me talk about this story, about these meetings that you go to. They wait for you and they have like a mug with your name on it for you. And they're like, Joey, we loved you. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:25:03 And you sit there and you go, what the fuck do you want? Now the meetings are in the morning. That means they're serious about this meeting. But the meetings at 4.45, that means you're there last 15 minutes until they get the fuck out. And they'll tell you when they walk in. I don't have much time. And you're like, well, I'm happy you're saying that because I just drove an hour and a fucking half. And I had to do this to get to this fucking meeting, you know.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So you bump into a lot of these meetings. Hi, how are you? And dog, you just go, holy fuck. How much do they pay you to act this way? Like, hi, oh my God, we're so happy you're here. We are so excited to work with you. It's going to be an honor. And you're like, you fucking thief, motherfuckers, you know.
Starting point is 00:25:49 So that's why I'm thinking about this story because of winning time with the meetings. And what this guy and this comedian, they were trying to lure me into that pen at the time. I don't know where the comedian is. And I don't even know where his agent is anymore. Those motherfuckers disappeared. And you're going to know what? And they were coaching me. Like, listen, bro, I take coaching from fucking stars.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Okay. If you want to fucking coach me, like I'll sit and listen and give you the respect you deserve. But I don't even know you. And in LA, there's a lot of those type of fucking people that they, you know, just jump into your life, guys. And you're like, who the fucking you? I don't even know you. What are you talking about? So they're telling me that, you know, when I start going to these meetings, I have to be late.
Starting point is 00:26:37 They're like, you have to be late for these meetings. Always keep these assholes waiting. That's the mark of it. He goes, you're not a TV guy. You're in a fucking feature film. That means something nowadays. He goes, you got to go to all the meetings. When people invite you to meetings, you're always going to be late, whether they're social or whether they're going to be personal in business,
Starting point is 00:26:57 because you always want to give people the idea that you're so much more busy than they are, and that your life is worth something. And I'm like, my life ain't worth shit. I just did a fucking movie. They pulled me in the movie, not because of my acting fucking range or anything, because I'm the only 400 fucking fat fuck they could find. You know, let's be honest with us. I mean, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:19 Even at that point, I'm like, what are these guys talking about? They're like, you always want to be late. Keep them waiting. And they started naming all stars. You have to wait a half hour for them, and they call the restaurant to make sure you're there. You know, like shit like that, guys, that, you know, I'm from Jersey. I'm a dirty Jersey guy. What the fuck do I know about fucking being late?
Starting point is 00:27:38 If you're late, you're late. You know, I got hit by a fucking pigeon on the way here. You know, I hit a fucking deer. Whatever the fuck happens to you. So they're telling me all this shit. Guys, I got to be honest with you at first. I was like, I don't know, you know, and I wasn't going to ask my man Rogan. That's the dumbest fucking question there was.
Starting point is 00:27:57 That's right there. I should have known. If it was too dumb to ask Joe, I shouldn't fucking ask the fucking question. You know what I'm saying? Like, and I knew it was too dumb to ask Joe. So right away, I got put on a fucking couple of meetings and shit. I had signed with this Arabian manager, sweetheart of a guy. I don't even know what happened to him.
Starting point is 00:28:14 He came to me like five years ago. I'm like, how you doing? He goes, you remember me? He changed completely. His guy, he signed me. He was like a hot up and coming manager. And he was looking for a guy that read scripts and he was looking. He wasn't looking for me at the time.
Starting point is 00:28:30 He was looking for the comic I became. But at the time in 2004, I wasn't that comic, you know, not by a long shot. I wasn't that comic. So we lasted about three months and he was an aggressive fucking dude. I had forgotten all about that. I worked with this guy. And you want me to tell you the interesting thing is when I worked with him in 2004. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I came home from shooting the movie, maybe in August of 2004. And I worked with this guy till maybe March or April of 2005, right before the movie was released. He had another client that was in the TV show at the time and the client was going to go abroad somewhere. And the client wanted him to go with him. And I remember we were talking about this for weeks. I had a mutual friend with the client. He's not even in business no more. And he was saying that he wanted to go to this place with him because whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:27 So I knew this was coming, but I didn't know it was going to affect my relationship with him. But he was this out. He said he called me one day and he goes, I can't work with you anymore because I'm going to be out of town for the next eight months shooting this. If you want, I could get, find somebody. And I go, no, no, no. And at that time I knew we were over because I just wasn't ready for his. He was a manager that had real talent. You know, like they were together.
Starting point is 00:29:53 I wasn't together. You know, he was sending memos and shit to my house. And I'm like, he would send memos like 10 a day. And I'm like, why are you sending these fucking memos every day? I don't want to see this shit. And, you know, he was just trying to teach me about the business, but I didn't want to learn. And he fucking got me. He had the guys when I tell you after the longest year, how many fucking meetings I had.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Holy shit. And right now I'm looking back at you. I can only think of like three of them, like three exact. I never forgot the Tom Hanks meeting. I got a little meeting with Tom Hanks. I never forgot that. I bet you he did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I had a meeting with this guy that was so fucking outlandish. He wanted to put movies up just for me alone and shit. And then it just got creepy. You know, he was going to put up a $2 million budget, but then about a month later, he called me to borrow 800 bucks to go somewhere. Like it was guys, it was, it was, you know, I went into a funk after the longest yard was released, but leading up to the longest. This is my first big thing. So I was getting my feet wet and it was, it was shit. I couldn't fucking handle.
Starting point is 00:31:09 So I started going, you know, he started this agent manager that was really trying to help me after I came over the longest yard. Sent me on a meeting one time at Fox guys. And you know, you guys hear stories might be being buck wild. Guys, that shit hasn't happened in over 15 years. But until 2006, I had a little fucking flair to me. And, you know, I try to do my best, you know, but I tell you the honest truth on everything. I had this audition for a Fox pilot, right? Fucking tremendous pilot.
Starting point is 00:31:47 If anybody was made for that pilot, he was your uncle Joey. I read this pilot. I studied this pilot. I chopped it up. You know, somebody told me that they saw the Nero script for Scarface while they were shooting Scarface. And it looked like a fucking, it looked like a mangled magazine from all the notes and pictures. He takes pictures and hangs them in there and shit like that. And that's what I wanted.
Starting point is 00:32:11 I wanted a fucking, I wanted a role where I, you know, I could put all the shit I did. So for some reason under my cocaine, this is the end of the cocaine tab. I'm reading this fucking thing for a week preparing for this goddamn audition in and out, in and out. In and out. I wrote it out. I wrote the fucking script out by hand. I was a pretty good lead. This would have been, it was three roommates and I was the outlandish one and two of them were divorced and I was the older one.
Starting point is 00:32:38 It was, it fit like a fucking glove. They told you all the info on this pilot. But for some reason under my cocaine, paranoia, mental state, I read it a different way. And that happens. That happens. You know, you don't read shit right when you're on fucking drugs. I read it as this guy's a fucking cokehead that lives with two fucking roommates and he's like a, you know, and he never shaved. He was very gruff.
Starting point is 00:33:06 All the, all those characteristics of, you know, he was paranoid. He was always in a bad mood. He couldn't find a job. And I'm thinking for myself and my cocaine mind, what these guys aren't telling me that he's a cokehead. So the audition was at 10 o'clock in the morning at Fox. What do you think your uncle Joey did? He snored a cocaine till fucking 7 59 AM to prepare for the character. You understand me.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Nobody's perfect guys, but at least you got to be able to share these stories with you motherfuckers. Guys, I walked in there three sheets to the wind. Coke in my nose. I didn't know the coke was in my nose. I sat down. There was four people there. There was like two women, two guys. There was a woman that was the captain Kirk of the enterprise and she's like, fucking, you know, let's go over this.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I did it like two times guys at the time. I thought I was Olivier, but guys, I got to be honest here, just feeling just thinking this is one of my darkest secrets. I'm telling you, it was God awful. And I remember laying it out and feeling like those people that I used to see. Like when I go auditions, I sit by the door to see what people are going to do. When they open the door and they tell people, thank you for coming to look on their face. I always said to myself, I don't want that fucking look. I don't ever want that look.
Starting point is 00:34:30 I know what that look is to look a fucking, should I shoot myself now or should I wait till I walk outside the building? That's that look. And once you see it, you're like, that motherfucker's going to shoot himself. I was for years. I just sat there and watched people and I fucking, it's like when I sat with Rogan in first class and people walked past me. I yell, get to the dungeon. I just tell, I didn't walk past me and look at me and Rogan. I go, get to the dungeon and they go back there like row 29 to fucking see in the bottom of the plane.
Starting point is 00:34:59 I didn't know what I was talking about. So fucking, what are we talking about here? Oh, the meeting. So I went in there and I'm fucking two sheets to the wind and I'm fucking doing these lines. Like I'm fucking Olivier and they're looking at me, guys. Like I just murdered somebody. I think I even put a hole in my shirt, guys. It was, it was not, it was not a good Joe Diaz at all.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And I did like two and they could tell anybody could tell I was fucking out of my mind. I can't say I was gacked up and I didn't snort or eight o'clock, but I didn't sleep. And, you know, it was one of those things where you just don't fucking sleep and go to an audition. I remember going on audition for a Travolta movie and seeing a fucking tremendous. I can't remember his name is this guy was a tremendous fucking actor. He had been on Miami Vice movies. He's in the movie kiss at death with Nicholas Cage at the time. We were both reading for different roles.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Guys, I walked out on a Monday. I had to fucking wake him up, give him tissues to clean his nose. I had to bring fucking, I had to run and get coffee and juice for this guy. Peter, Peter, something Italian guy, very good looking from Brooklyn. He was good dear friends with like Tammy Pascatelli and all those guys. I can't remember his name is sweetheart of a guy and I had to clean him up. I mean, he's like, dog, I had her when I woke him up in the audition. He's like, you know, that look when you wake somebody up when they're all fucked up.
Starting point is 00:36:39 He was like, am I okay? You're fine, dog, but you can't go into your audition like this. Come on. I took him out and I fucking took care of him. I walked in there in the same part, but I swear to God, I had an incident when I was a kid where I got on a plane. I ordered a drink from the bar because in the 80s, there were planes and bars that you could walk to and get a cocktail to stretch your fucking legs. And I remember I went up to the thing and I was all fucked up and I asked for a drink and when the guy gave me the drink, I had a little coke rock that was dangling on my nose and it was a black countertop and the coke rock just fell on the counter. Me and the fucking bartender just looked at each other for like two minutes.
Starting point is 00:37:16 We just looked at the rock and didn't say nothing. We were both, I was embarrassed as fuck. He couldn't believe a white little rock and they had like a little snot around, perfect, perfect. Even a child could go. That looks like a coke rock and even if they didn't know about coke, that was a coke rock and we just stared each other down. I thought he was going to call security and next thing I just looked up and I may believe like the chip fell off the fucking ceiling. You ever like in a place in a little piece of paint falls on the table and I looked at the ceiling and I looked at the coke rock and I walked away. And the guy's like, you can't fucking call me with that look.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Guys, the point of the story is I went into that fucking meeting and I could feel the cocaine liquid coming out of my nose. And after about four minutes, this lady goes, I need to have a word with you. And I thought she was going to ask the other people to leave the room. No! In front of everybody? In front of everybody. In front of everybody. She just, he didn't lay into me, but she did lay into me.
Starting point is 00:38:18 And she said that, you know, she was, she liked me, but I came into that thing over prepared and overstimulated. And she's like, I don't know. I don't know what caused the stimulation today, but this is not an audition for the books and shit. And I was like, well, what do you want? I mean, guys, I was out of it. I was a year away from quitting cocaine. I mean, obviously by the, you could tell by the story that, you know, after you go through one of these, you can't keep doing this shit. They just won't work you.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And guys, I caught myself. I did catch myself, you know, and it's always meant the fucking world to me that shortly after that, you know. And I think after that was Boilermaker when they said the word got out that you're a coke fiend and shit. You know, that's a tough fucking thing to knock down. And I sent her a card and a letter a couple weeks later and I had a dear friend at Fox and I called him like a man and I told him what I had done. And he said he would talk to her again. And guess what? That dude just called me.
Starting point is 00:39:27 He called my agency to talk to me. The agency called me. They go, we want to talk. They want to talk to you about a project. They go, fuck, I haven't heard that name in 10 years. He was a big time at Fox for voiceovers. And I just spoke to him and I called him and he's like, I'm really proud of you. I can't believe you took my cold reading class and you did so much with it.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Christian Kaplan, I love this motherfucker. But I tell you stories like that about how I failed all that shit to let you know how much I came back. But the original story I was trying to get to was being late for these things. I was just a mentality of somebody telling me that. Like it really rang my bell over the weekend. Like something just was like, what the fuck happened that day? Well, all these guys like, you got to be late. And I got to be honest with you guys, I did it about three times and I didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:40:17 To be honest with you guys, I think I was late to two meetings. One, because of the advice they gave me. And the second one, you just really, there really is fucking traffic. But I, after the second time I did it, I was like, you know what, man? Hollywood stars are Hollywood stars. TV stars are TV stars. Comedy stars are comedy stars, but I'm either. Who the fuck am I to go to a meeting late?
Starting point is 00:40:49 Even if who I'm meeting with, they're fucking shitheads and they're never going to do anything for me. And then, you know, because tonight, listen to those meetings, nine and a half out of 10 times, nothing really happens. You know, when they meet you in a restaurant, there's no casting couch. You don't get an opportunity to lick fucking Harvey Weinstein's nuts. No, I'm kidding you. You know, with these general meetings and shit, you know, you go to them, like I said, if they're in the morning, they really want to do something with you. If they're putting you off for 4.30 is because you're their last meeting before the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:41:21 And at least they could say, yeah, we did five general meetings this week. There used to be called five general meetings. Me and Mike meet and we speak about the project and we put a date or time to meet again. And if Mike wants to hire me, he calls me back if not, he could just tell me whatever the fuck he wants. That's what a general is. That it's to let the Fox and CBS and the people in development know that you're alive, but you only got five minutes to let them know you're alive. You go in there, you're halfway fucking nervous and, you know, you don't do your best.
Starting point is 00:41:57 So for me, they never worked out. I know I could give you Josh Wolf's number. I give you a couple of the comics that used to go for generals gone wild and nothing really develops in them. So and it really dawned on me how that whole story that that not being late. It fucked me up completely because I remember weeks later me going, I'm going to get to that meeting late. And I go, no, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm going to leave a half hour early and allow traffic on the 405 allow traffic on the 10.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Wherever the fuck this audition takes me, because that's where you usually go. Orange County, nothing's around the corner like here. So I started being early, 15 minutes early, 15 minutes early. And guess what guys, it didn't help my professional career as much as I wanted, but it helped my personal career to just get you out. And guys, I was always one of those motherfuckers that's on time. I don't like starting shows late. I don't like none of that shit. I understand things happen, but it's just, I know people will be late all their life and won't expand.
Starting point is 00:43:09 They won't. And the guy, and to be honest with you, the moral of the story is the comedian who was gung ho about that. Tell me how he did it to people. He never shot movies like I did. He's not even around anymore. And the manager that did it, he's not around either. That's how much bad fucking advice is. That's how much, that's how much shit they put into you and you really don't know what the fucking believe.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Like you really don't know, you know, I don't know what they tell bands. I don't know what they, you know, I was watching something the other day, Led Zeppelin breaking the band on whatever. And Jimmy Page is one of the interviews. He didn't even have an interview with a chick from cream magazine and he wouldn't talk to her. The interview had a talk to a publicist and the publicist would have to go in the other room and bring, tell Jimmy what he said. And then, you know, and it's like, that's Hollywood behavior that they allow all that shit. They allow that from the beginning. Like, he doesn't want to talk to me.
Starting point is 00:44:11 You don't want to talk to me. I'm here as a fan to help you expand. I'm not putting into school paper. You know what I'm saying? I'm here to push you in Rolling Stone. I'm here to push you in cream. I'm here to put you in GQ or whatever. And you don't want to talk to me.
Starting point is 00:44:28 You don't want to fucking look at me. I mean, they don't make eye contact. You know any fucking jobs I went to? Well, I'll tell you the truth right now. Three of them. I went to three jobs for sure where they told me not to make eye contact with the star of the show. Guys, that doesn't work for you. That never worked for a guy like me.
Starting point is 00:44:45 When you hear me throw rants like I did the other day, it's not that I, you know, it's that LA just does stuff to people that it's different level. I should not say LA. I'm sick and tired of saying LA because LA is a very nice place and there's a lot of great people in LA that have great, great intentions. I became a great comic from the people in LA helping me and they came in all different fucking sizes, shapes, whatever the fuck, you know. But I also knew the evident end was you have to help yourself. You have to put in the time and collect the hours and figure out what works for you. But that always dawned on me and even, you know, stayed with me years later how they were, it's not ball grooming. It's like letting you know how you have to act.
Starting point is 00:45:39 You know, I was watching winning on HBO the other night. It's a scene where Dr. Jerry Bus contacts the coach of you and LV, Jerry Tarkanian. I don't know if you guys are up with Final Four and the fucking, you know, Jerry Tark, the shark and all this shit. That's why it's interesting. And he goes to meet with Harry Tarkanian, whatever. And he goes, you know, I want you to be that coach of the Lakers. And he goes, be out there with those fake people. And I was like, wow, you know, let me think about this is 19, this show is supposed to be 1980, 79, whatever, around that time.
Starting point is 00:46:16 And this guy's saying fake people. And I started thinking about that after the show ended Sunday night or whenever I was watching it because it comes on HBO Sunday night. I'm not getting paid for this. I just want you guys to watch good TV on Sunday night. You know, you don't get paid for everything. Most things like to talk about because I enjoy him. Other people enjoy him. Maybe I haven't been turned on to him.
Starting point is 00:46:37 My friend called me yesterday. He said to watch a show on a pilot on HBO. I didn't know what the fuck it was. It's called the invisible pilot about a fucking redneck who kills himself. Tremendous. No, he fakes his own debt. And then he comes back as a drug smuggler. So nobody really knows he's on the fucking radar and shit.
Starting point is 00:46:55 The first 40 minutes, let me tell you something, I almost hung myself three times watching it because it's just a bunch of fucking rednecks talking. I didn't know what he did. His next move was going to be, but after that it just opened fucking up. My brother George turned me on to it the other night. He keeps asking me, have you watched that? And I keep breaking this ball. It sucks. It sucks.
Starting point is 00:47:13 It sucks. But I watched episode number two the other night and it ain't fucking bad. You know what I'm saying? I can get an FYI, guys. I don't know if you're going to watch this. I don't give a fuck. You know, a lot of people come to me and throw show ideas at me. And I'm like, guys, I'm going to remember that shit by the time I get in the car.
Starting point is 00:47:30 But it's the truth. I got fucking things going in and out of my fucking coconut. I was having a great week last week. It ended up, I even booked a voice over in a film last week, guys. June 30th. I shoot it. They offered it to me and it pays. It goes towards my insurance.
Starting point is 00:47:47 More good news. Uncle Joey got his fucking insurance again. I don't have to pay 24 fucking hundred dollars a fucking month to a screen actress guild. Guys, I'm 50 fuck. I'm vested 20 something years in the union. I don't have fucking insurance. You got to help me out here. What the fuck is going on with fucking society?
Starting point is 00:48:06 I even got my fucking freaking fly miles. They still got them. I thought they were going to wrap them up because I haven't flown lately. I keep them. You were a good man for years. I'll be back, cock suckers. I got a great show tonight. A lot of people are asking me how I feel and I'm going to fucking tell you how I feel.
Starting point is 00:48:24 I feel like I did yesterday. I'm a little excited about doing it. I have a couple of butterflies or it could just be gas. You know what I'm saying? I got something in there. It's butterflies. I got 10 minutes, guys. And for no reason at all do I want you guys to lose your mind or anything.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I got guys. Why don't I get tickets? I really want to see guys. I got 10 minutes. I haven't been on stage in 13 months. What do you think is going to happen? Do you think I'm going to go out there and do Lenny Bruce live at Carnegie Hall? Are you fucking crazy guys?
Starting point is 00:49:09 Are you really fucking nuts? I'm happy about Wednesday and I'm going to go there and try to have the best time I can. You know, I'm trying to think about what I want to be different. I was talking to my wife the other night about I'm not 100% in. You know, I'm going to try it a few times and see how I feel and leave the door open for the future. But it's not like I want to go on a fucking tour right now at all. You know, I'm going to talk to Bert and see what Bert's got and see what dates I'm available to do. You know, one of the things you have to do with comedy that I never knew what it meant was,
Starting point is 00:49:50 if you ever listened to Synchronicity by police, great fucking album, wrapped around my finger, that song wrapped around my fingers on that. And he says something about, you know, he's in love with a married woman in that song, I guess. And he goes, you know, you sold your fate with that wedding ring. In other words, that you booked your future. When you came to a relationship, you already booked your future. One of the things I hated, I didn't like about that, you know, because I had to do with George Washington clothes. You know, I put like what I liked about it and what was bothering me towards the end.
Starting point is 00:50:27 You know, I'm just trying to be honest with myself, guys. You know, better help is there for you, but they can't help you all the fucking time. Decisions you're going to have to make on your own. Your psychiatrist, your parents, your mom, your dad. Decisions you're going to learn to make on your own so you learn how to make good judgment calls, you know. And if it takes, excuse me, writing out a list with the pros and cons of the position you're going for. If that's what it takes to let you know, to open up your eyes, I'd rather you do that. So you know what you're getting yourself into.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I wish I would have done this more when I was in my early 20s and mid 30s. George Washington clothes yourself. Why fuck around? George Washington clothes is pros and cons right aligned to the middle five on each side. Let's go. What do you want to do? What do you like about it? What do you don't like about it?
Starting point is 00:51:11 And for me, I didn't like it. I didn't want to. I don't like getting bombarded no more. I enjoy my phone not ringing. You know, you know, I talk with a lot of my friends and one was asked me if I missed the limelight and I'm like, not at all. I don't miss any. I was never in the fucking limelight. I was in the fucking shadows.
Starting point is 00:51:30 But do I admit? No, not at all. I don't miss. You know, I somebody asked me if I want to go on a tour. And to, you know, a day later, I was getting calls to book out the dates you want in June. I'm not prepared for that. I'm not prepared for that. You know, I don't, you know, I don't know if I want to work June 12th and June 13th.
Starting point is 00:51:49 I don't even know. I haven't done it in so long. So this is why for my purposes and for your purposes, I mean, I've had clubs call me guys and say, listen, we heard you're doing it. Why don't you just book September? And if you don't want to do it, cancel it because I don't want to do that to my people. If not, I could have done that already. That's what I don't want to do. I don't want to pull.
Starting point is 00:52:10 What's a chick who died? What's a chicken? Yeah. I don't want to pull it. Is she coming or not? I don't want to do that to you. You guys know me that if I don't want to do something, I'm not going to go down there. I'm not going to go down there.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I don't give a fuck what you got to give. I don't give a fuck. You got to read for your jumping up and down. If I don't want to go down there, it's not going to happen. So in the last two years, I've been sitting on close to two years. I've been sitting here telling you soon, soon, soon, and you haven't seen it happen. Have you? No.
Starting point is 00:52:43 The book's coming out though, May 23rd of 2023. That's the fucking bad news. They're going to fucking put it online Thursday or whatever. It's going to be out. Like people, not the book, not the print, not pre-order, nothing like that. No. Info know that, I forget what they call them. Guys, publishing is not my fucking life here.
Starting point is 00:53:09 But I don't know what they're going to call it or whatever the fuck. But I'm excited. We got it out. I didn't get anything back for edits or anything, but I did get an email over the weekend Friday when I was in my head in the toilet that we were publishing on the 20th, May 23rd of 2000, or May 20th of 2020. I will post up all the available info as I get it, but it doesn't look like it's going to be this year.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Does it come with an audio copy and a flag and a picture of you and an autograph? Let's wait for the book to come out all right? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you going to do any book signings? I don't fucking know. I don't fucking know what I'm doing. I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't even know what I'm doing today.
Starting point is 00:53:55 I know what I'm doing. I'm going to get a fucking haircut because I'm not going on stage looking like. The one thing I like about fucking winning with my man C Riley is that he's got a tremendous head, but he's got to wrap it around and comb it and put fucking, you should have seen my hair when I fucking was sick the other day. I got up in them because I had to take, I had to keep putting the sleep at me a mask on. I'm taking it off, keep it on, take it off. My hair was just shooting straight up in the fucking air.
Starting point is 00:54:21 It was tremendous, but all it was was fucking white. So I'm shooting. I got to do a few videos and I don't want to shoot it looking like Johnny Vompy. So I'm going to get all done up. They're going to trim my eyebrows today. Fucking the hairdo of life. I'm going to be looking like fucking Johnny Popsadara on 144th and Magnolia Boulevard. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:54:45 I don't even know what that is. But it's been a great week. It's going to be fucking Easter week. And as usual, you know, during these times, the last, it seems like more people had died. Does that anybody else? It seems like the last couple of years, every week, you get a notice of somebody dying. I've never remembered it like this. You know, when I was a young kid, I had a couple of years there where it wasn't fucking cold.
Starting point is 00:55:16 It wasn't fucking kosher. But for the most part, it's, you know, everybody's been able to keep their fucking life together. And the last two years, you know, we lost meatloaf, Tom Petty. We've lost a lot of, I don't know, Tom Petty died before the pandemic. But yeah, we lost a lot of good fucking people over the pandemic. And we're starting to lose, you know, I was thinking of the comic, the other day. I remember he got hit by a car. I remember the comedian in Texas, the guy hit by the bus during the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:55:47 I forgot what his name is, real talented guy, really funny. You know, there's been, you know, Jeff, the piano player at the store passed away. There's just been so many people that have been off color. You know, I really wanted to go to the stores 50th anniversary last Thursday. And Wednesday night, I looked online and looked at tickets and I reserved the ticket out of Newark for JetBlue. I was going to try to leave at 2 in the afternoon, get to LA like a fucking, I don't know what time it was, 3 30. Give me enough time to get the, it was like, I had like a three hour window to get to Hollywood to the hotel, take a shower and go to the comedy store reunion.
Starting point is 00:56:26 You know, Harry was going to go Steve Simone. I really wanted to see those guys. And I don't know if this would have been an opening for me to go back or if this would have been closure. I don't know. I wasn't even looking at it like that. But I wanted to go. A part of me was really enthusiastic about going. So I packed like a half a bag Puerto Rican bag and I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:56:46 If anything goes down, I'll just shoot to Newark. I'm 30 minutes away. When I looked at the thing, the original, the first two flights of the day were already canceled. So I was talking to Harry and he goes, are you thinking of flying out? And I go, yeah, I'm thinking of taking this flying. He goes, I don't think they're going to do it because right as easy just got canceled. Right as easy is not coming in. So I didn't go to the fucking store 53.
Starting point is 00:57:10 And I spoke to a few people. I'm going to try to see Eleanor Thursday night. She's with dice down at Uncle Vinnie. So maybe I'll go down there. She calls that they had a nice time and stuff. But yesterday morning I woke up to again, I could tell you a thousand stories. She was just a great sweet kid from the store. And 12 years ago.
Starting point is 00:57:32 No, 10, 12 years ago. About 10 years ago, Mercy's nine. This was December of 2012. I, you know, flappers called and they said, can you help out Jim Jeffries this weekend? He's taping. He won't be able to get there late. He was taping his Comedy Central special. And I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:57:55 I'm in town. I have to stay close because my wife is due. You know, it was like after the holiday. So Mercy was born on the 13th of January. So I remember it being right before the holidays. I wasn't working New Year's or maybe I was doing the little room at the ice house. And I was just dead doing spots, guys. You know, he just doing two shows.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Nothing. I wasn't lighting the world on fire. It really wasn't my show. So when I got to that night, I met this girl and she told me she was a social manager, social media manager. That was a new to me. You know, I didn't, I didn't know what a social media manager was. And she was very nice and very sweet.
Starting point is 00:58:35 And, you know, I went home that night and the next day I came back to do the second, the third and fourth show. And one of the comics pulled me aside and said something to me that kind of was about me, that I had done something not fucking kosher, you know. And I was like, guys, I don't know if you know this. I did my set last night. And I just went right home. I parked illegally at flappers.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I knew how to park illegally and I had enough time to do it. And so when I would go to flappers, I would never really hang. There's not a hang at flappers. They had a little green room in the back and they used to give you use. And I liked the you who's and stuff was a great touch. I like flappers and I miss flappers. They stayed open during the pandemic and I wish him nothing but well. They're doing great things now.
Starting point is 00:59:24 So that sadly, when I came back, what the comic told me was that the girl, the social media girl said that I grabbed the pussy and I'm dog. My wife is at home pregnant. I'm in, I'm in father mode. You know, I'm saying I'm not drinking. I'm not doing shit. And I go, what? And I go, I'm going here.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I go, I only met her in here. She only came in here. She was in front of you guys. So I had nothing to worry about. I met her in here. And there was Jim Jeffries is his publicist with somebody else's dad. And there was another comic in there. I go, no, you didn't you guys go out after it?
Starting point is 01:00:00 And I go, what? I go, no. And I left the office and I went and hunted it down. I go, can I have a word with you? And she's like, what? And I go, the comic told me that you're upset with me because I grabbed your pussy last night. And she goes, I don't want to talk about it. She goes, you grabbed it at the bar and I go, hold on one second.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I went and got the bartender. And I go, because I was coming in there a lot at the time. I go, do I ever come to the fucking was I in the bar last night? I go, no. Can you talk to me for a second? So I went and pulled her out. And I said, this is what happened. You know, and she's like, OK, well, maybe it wasn't you.
Starting point is 01:00:36 And I go, maybe it wasn't me. That's not the right fucking answer. That's not the right answer. Maybe it was you. Before you make this allegation, you better be damn sure she was drinking. And she thought I had gone back to the bar. You know, I was not at the fucking bottom. Go to fucking bars.
Starting point is 01:00:53 No, I don't want to be in bars. So I, you know, I don't, I went home and I'm like, you know, and I started talking to a guy. At first I was a little angry. This is before the whole Me Too movement and everything. But I got a wife at the house. I'm not going out to this. Grab some girl's pussy. I had a fucking thing.
Starting point is 01:01:09 So we started talking and we became friends. You know, like, I, you know, what a friend. You know, how are you doing? Good to see you. I was comedy. I saw a couple of times and I didn't see her anymore. Boom. Pop goes to Weezer.
Starting point is 01:01:21 I go to the store. There she is. She's a social media manager. Sweet girl. She has a boyfriend. You know, I talk to her all the time, but she always wanted more. And that's all of us guys. I can't be mad at somebody for somebody wanting more.
Starting point is 01:01:39 But for a long time I wanted more. But you have to look at your surroundings to see what you give yourself and what you're capable of giving. You know what I'm saying? She wanted more and she was going to get it eventually, but it was going to take time. Like anything else, you know, guns and roses put out a great fucking first town, but they were even a lot better by use your illusion. They got really good by use your illusion.
Starting point is 01:02:04 It takes time and more open, you know, then they got a budget for a fucking $8 million video. You understand I'm going with this, you know, things are going to move for you, but it takes time, you know, and we'd always shout about comedy one night. They got into an argument. I don't know what happened. She quit the store, but she still comes down and do spots and I would always talk to her very sweet.
Starting point is 01:02:26 I bumped into her in Vegas, you know, tried to give her advice and stuff. And then she had like, you know, she would get drunk and I don't know. I don't know what happened. Bottom line is yesterday I woke up and I saw that picture that, you know, she had passed away on Sunday. This girl couldn't be a day older than 35, you know, a fucking day older than 35. I don't even clock her at that, you know, I was tight with her like towards the end. You know, she would come to me for advice when I was shooting the Sopranos.
Starting point is 01:02:58 She was in the city doing some chicken video or something like that. And I went to meet her and give a weed one night. She asked me if I was going to Brooklyn and I go, no, so I gave a 40 for the fucking, for the Uber or whatever, you know, and then in LA, she would be at the comedy store and I would talk to at the comedy store and she would always ask for advice. But I could always see she was impatient. Things weren't moving fast enough. And she was really driven, which I have no problems with all those three things.
Starting point is 01:03:32 You know me guys. I support that. What I don't support is the acceleration. When do you stop? And when do you go up to 60? There has to be a balance when attacking. You have to, you can't always be fucking doing 60. Things are not always going to happen.
Starting point is 01:03:55 I'm the most impatient mother fuck in the world. And I even know that you, when you're in this art game, you learn to be patient. Shit is not going to happen. You know, it's going to be busy for you. Never mind when you get into trying to get money from somebody. All you motherfuckers that, I'm going to make movies and finance films. Good luck. That's a completely different mind fuck.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Wait till you ask for 800 million to give you 800 bitcoins. You know, trust me motherfuckers. So this, you know, and I feel bad because throughout the day I learned what went on and she wasn't happy and she might have taken her own life. I'm, I'm saying this maybe, you know, I don't know what happened. I wasn't there. Uh, Sam Tripoli posted a picture. So I called him last night and I go, Sam, fill me in and we spoke.
Starting point is 01:04:45 And she was unhappy and she was in Oklahoma. And when I was withdrawing heavy duty, when I was going still to physical therapy, she called me out of the blue one day and said to me that, uh, because what happened was, listen, I know when somebody's struggling in LA, I know the look in your eye. I know how people act when they're struggling and I know how you feel. It's a horrible feeling. When somebody's struggling on the type of guy that I'll throw you a bone.
Starting point is 01:05:21 If I see you struggling in that sense, I'll throw you a well-deserved bone just to pick up your spirits a little bit, but I can't throw you an opening gig with Joe Rogan. Do you know what I'm saying? Like I could throw you a bone. I can get you a gig with Dean Delray. I could do something in time. I could hustle up something. It may not be what you want, but it's what's coming down the pipe right now.
Starting point is 01:05:44 And if you want to work and get better at your craft, this is the job you're going to accept. She said to keep my eyes open and I tried to, and she would always contact me for the difficult rooms. Like she wanted to get into this room and I'm like, that guy's not going to let you go in there right off the bat. You got to go in there with a headliner and she's like, well, I don't want to go in there with a headliner. So anyway, to make a long story fucking short, one day I was by the bagel place. I was still coming home from physical therapy and she called and she said that she had had
Starting point is 01:06:18 a rough pandemic. She had caught a bad case of drugs. You know, she, she had it bad with the drugs for a while. She fell into a depression. She was going on through a lot of other stuff in her life, but she really, really wanted to be a standup. And that's why I respected this shit out of her. This girl could have been a really good standup in time. She just needed time.
Starting point is 01:06:44 You could tell when somebody has that comedic mind, Lee Syat, believe it or not, as crazy and wack and torturing and flying you, Lee Syat has got a woody, whatever the fuck, one of those woody Allen minds, nothing. He's going to go fucking Chinese students or whatever, or Chinese daughters of people that are 16. Lee has a very whatever type of mind. If Lee would have done comedy for eight or nine years, Lee would have been really good. His delivery would have been good, but his little off color jokes are fucking hilarious. She had that.
Starting point is 01:07:21 She had that goofiness. She had that innocence. So it was going to work in time. When I spoke to her, she wasn't in good spirits. I don't think she was very happy with me because she came to me once and she goes, I'd really like to do your podcast when you're ready, when I'm ready. And I said, well, you let me know when you're ready. You know, at least she wasn't bugging me about the podcast or anything.
Starting point is 01:07:46 So I go, let me know when you're ready. Guess when she called me, August 14th, right at the end, she called me out of the blue. You know, the pandemic started. We lost and that's what Sam Tripoli said. When the pandemic started, we lost contact with a lot of those guys because our communication was the store. We didn't know them from anywhere else. So I lost contact with her and I picked up my bed. She's like, Hey, can I come on the podcast?
Starting point is 01:08:16 And I go, you're not going to believe this because she always had the worst luck. Do you know what I'm saying? You know, like she just, if she was one of those people that was a dollar a day, a day late or a dollar short, God bless her. But she fucking said, I want to do a podcast. I'm like, you're not going to believe this. I just packed up the studio and Lee just got in his car and she goes, Oh, so I think in turn she was kind of angry with me. I said, you know, I'm not doing it. But in time, if I start another one, we can do the podcast, you know, when she called me that day, she was talking about that because she had had an incident at the store.
Starting point is 01:08:58 They asked to leave one night and then they wanted to ban her for 30 days. I don't exactly know the fucking story guys, but somebody had told me and George Perez the story and we were talking about it with Jeff Scott. God rest his soul. The piano playing the back and there must have been a waitress there or something. And she told Sarah God rest her soul that me, Jeff and whatever we're talking about it. And what were we talking about? We were going over that at the, when she called me that day in the bagel shop, maybe, uh, I don't know, last, last March, maybe had to be maybe a year ago. And she was upset and I apologized.
Starting point is 01:09:39 I said, you know, but she was, uh, listen, I respect your dream, but I want you to keep it in check. I always respect their bees dream, but you have to keep it in check and you have to check yourself on a monthly basis to see where the fuck you are. If you continue to take what they're giving you LA is a very hard place. If you're coming from hell, if you're coming from a hell in your life, LA is not going to be the place right off the bat in your mind. It's very soothing. It's very, you know, palm trees, you know, the Eagles, but in reality, the business of LA is a fucking monster. And sometimes if you come from somewhere where you were in the hell and you come into LA, it's not going to work out for you. And this is what I thought about last night after I got off the phone with Tripoli, that this, uh, it didn't work out for this girl, Hollywood's a motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:10:36 And all I could say is I, I hope the comics around her and her friends that were around to learn that this isn't a fucking joke anymore. They're playing for keeps and, uh, I'm really sad for a family and what they're going through and her friends. So my heart goes out to Sarah and I'll see you on the other side. You were a fun girl and I'm sorry. And that's my podcast for Wednesday, the motherfucking 13th of April. Like I said, I'm excited about Uncle Vinny's tonight. If you can't make it sold out, don't sweat it's 10 fucking minutes. Listen, if we keep doing this, we're just going to get better and better.
Starting point is 01:11:14 I don't like people seeing me in the shitty state anyway. So I rather you see me when I'm cooking with fucking gas. This is free. I don't give a fuck how I show up here. But when you're paying the fucking heavy duty and you're getting a babysitter and the whole thing, I got to show up with six fucking bullets. Correct? What the fuck?
