Starting point is 00:03:34 Thank you for joining us at night for this special edition. I've been wanting to get you on for a while. What happened was last week, I'm at home, right, and doing whatever the fuck I'm doing. I got the earphones on, and I'm listening to this shit. Minding my own business. And I'm listening to this old school like something, you know, when you go to YouTube, sometimes you put it on and it just hits you with the different songs that you might listen to. John, because they already know.
Starting point is 00:03:58 It's like, if you go online in the afternoon and try to get a plane ticket to Connecticut, the rest of the day, every time you go on the computer, there's pop-ups. Yeah, yeah, look at this. United goes to Connecticut. Yeah, it's annoying. Like they fucking know. Google knows. They all know what's going on. So it's funny they have what music John was I listened to. And this page had like Black Label Society, had Black Sabbath.
Starting point is 00:04:19 They had like Bush. And then the corner was Let the Music Play. Yeah, Shannon. By Shannon. And I go, I haven't heard that in a while. And I played it for a little while and then songs pop up on the side from that era. And my favorite song came up. No, you like the other Shannon song.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I always remember that too. No, but I like the other, not Let the Music Play, but No, the other one. Must be the music. Oh, you like, Must be the music? That's turning me on. Must be the music. But you also like the other one she did.
Starting point is 00:04:51 You tell me you like that one better than Let the Music Play. No, Let the Music Play is my, Let the Music Play between me and you guys is the reason why I didn't go back to Colorado in 1984. Was that song? I went out to a club with my friends. I was leaving like three days from that night. It was like a Saturday and I was leaving Tuesday. And that song came out.
Starting point is 00:05:09 You heard that. And I was watching this girl dancing. Yeah. This song reminds me of, I love this song. So what year is it? February of 1984. I'm at a club. I got like an eight ball, a couple of koi lutes.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And I look up and I see a girl just dancing to this. And she's just, the way she was moving and I looked at her and moved and I go, It doesn't look like I'm going back to Colorado. And that was it. Fucking Gentiles. Look at these Puerto Rican chicks dancing. You know those city clubs when you go into the city. Well, I wasn't clubbing back then, but you know.
Starting point is 00:05:45 You weren't clubbing back then. Now where'd you grow up? Let's straighten this. You were from Jersey. Well, I grew up. I was born in Jersey. I went to 15 schools, man. One high school in Fort Lauderdale.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I went to Plantation High. I spent sixth, seventh, eighth and almost started ninth in Pasek, New Jersey. That's where I spent all my middle school years. I was born in Princeton, but I moved around a lot, man. Yeah. Single mom shit. But when I grew up in North Jersey, when I was up there, this is when all this stuff was going on.
Starting point is 00:06:13 And I lived in Pasek. You graduated high school. Ninety. So I'm eight years here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

When it comes to music, I listen to everything. There's some opera shit I listen to. You know, I heard some fucking Russian heavy metal a couple weeks ago.

I'm I'm sitting there and I'm just thinking what the fuck man What am I doing?

Starting point is 01:49:13 How we say We're no better than anybody else because you can name 10 people who are gone That you were doing the comedy at the store. They're gone. Yeah, they've moved on to music or You'll go to a show in Chicago and now they they went back because their uncle died. You'd be fucking surprised How many comics we were here with at the store? They're probably gone. You don't even remember Some remember a lot a lot of the girls that like the georgia jeans. I haven't seen anymore Right, georgia jeans was on facebook a month a month ago Saying she got out of the comedy because all the men and how disgusting they were when they were talking about adam richman
Starting point is 01:49:49 Rape and the girl in Minneapolis. There was an article in georgia jean, you know, see that's the thing, too There were chicks at the store though that hung tight like like paula bell tammy pescatelli shema You know, there's girls that that whitney, you know, they these are there were girls that were always accepted and hung out and can kick it You know, and then there were certain ones that the store. I would it had this weird. It still does But it's it's it's uh, you know, don bearish. She's still there. Brian holtsman is another one, dude That motherfucker is he's gone insane. I don't see him anymore. He's a dog catcher
Starting point is 01:50:24 in marina del re or in the huntington beach or one of those places and You know, he would come he was a hobbyist. He was a fucking airplane pilot He would come in late at night when he was drinking And do 15 minutes off the top of his head of craziness Some of the best comedy he remember people would be coming at when they heard he was on people would come and watch this guy Yeah, it was fucking craziness and then to see the the store still I mean it's still a scene man You know, but that was but that always remember there was a big difference
Starting point is 01:50:54 You know, it's like the people that tell you at the water cooler that you're funny And then you go on stage and it's a big shock to be funny in the office It's a big shock to then come to la And be funny. That's one thing to stick it out Wait, how about this one? That's the other how about to be funny in the or at one in the morning in front of fucking fight That's when you know That's when you earn your comedy strike. That's when that's why comedy store comics most They could do a room anywhere any place anytime. I could do anything
Starting point is 01:51:26 I tell people all the time that this times I go for additions And I'll go on and I'll see the guy from the godfather that got shot in the eye You know, he's still around mo green mo green still around the audition I'll see joe santos. I'll see johnny roast beef I don't yeah, and I'll see all these people in the audition room and I'll start getting butterflies in my stomach And then I'll say, you know what man? All right So these motherfuckers have me as actors
Starting point is 01:51:54 But they never had a five-hour ball morning in the hour at 12 30 neither And that's what I got that nobody else got all that and you fucking work with deniro No, but who gives a fuck about that? I'm talking about following paul mooney at the store When you're a eight-year comic and you don't know how to figure it out And the show started at nine and they've already heard every Every topic Every joke Everybody could eat pussy. Everybody's got a big dick
Starting point is 01:52:25 Everybody punched a hoe in the face You got to come up there follow paul mooney at 12 40 or 10 after one when half the room is getting up Okay You have no idea what fear is you have no idea what it is to Go up to the store thinking that you're gonna go up at 11 30. You're prepared for 11 30 and now it's 10 after one When I tell you I have a show at eight, I know I'm going up at 8 45 as a headline You're going to austin next week, right? Yeah, awesome. Yeah, Austin, right? You know that you're going up at eight at the comedy store. I thought you got there when you got 30
Starting point is 01:53:01 But paul mooney's up on or fucking eddie griffin's on or eddie griffin's on odama ravazon And you got a fire and that's where my conference comes from Also, you know what else I've because you know and all the clubs in la are for now. They are laugh factory offers It's the every club offers something The comedy store because it has no mc I mean, I remember I followed chris rock one night You know and he just you know dice the first time dice brought me up. He's like, who? I don't know this kid
Starting point is 01:53:29 And then then he's like, how tall are you? I go uh six two. He goes, how much you weigh? I go about a buck 95 There's his intro And he got and he got to go up and after either Dice annihilated or just fucking just ripped into people and then and i'm doing comedy fucking what four five years And you got to figure it out That's why when like I remember when me and kappa kappa ruler went to montreal in 03 It he was looking at me and he goes Everybody was complaining because we're doing comedy during the day
Starting point is 01:53:59 And i'm like we were doing new faces. I'm like, dude We're happy. There's just a fucking crowd of people that want to laugh and you could just get up and That's why we rocked all the meds rooms doublins comedy store comics I mean, there was some improv guys like schwarzen and zack gal finakis that would fucking destroy But on a whole you couldn't go up the doublins on a tuesday with a fucking notebook and try and read jokes You had to bring it. I went up at the doubling twice and I bombed both times. Yeah, but the there's other factors behind that
Starting point is 01:54:30 There's other factors, but let me tell you something The best compliment I ever got was I got a quote one night like about quarter to 12 It was peep from the houston lab stop And he goes I saw something tonight that I only thought you could do And it was amazing. I put it together He goes, you know, johnny sanchez. I go. Yeah, he goes johnny's here. It's thursday. It was wednesday night
Starting point is 01:54:55 And there's only 24 people Do you know he got a standing ovation? And he goes the only other person that did that in my room Wish you on a sunday night That's the comedy story, isn't it? That is And then johnny got on the phone and we talked and he's like that's the comedy story You learned because in your mind when you came out of here, it's la It's gonna be 200 people a night every night and in some nights at the store. There was 150 people at nine o'clock
Starting point is 01:55:24 By the time we got up at 20 the fucking two That's 13 people and if you need those 15 dollars Those 15 dollars were huge in those days. So you and triply are two of the only comics I've ever seen because you said you bombed but your bombing isn't really bombing You you understand what I mean? Like you're still spitting shit. No, I thought Were you hired drunk or something? No, I don't go on stage hired drunk. I would go stoned at the at the fucking uh Dublin they just that was a different world
Starting point is 01:55:56 Well, what I was gonna say because I've never seen two guys go out there Like you and triply triplies. I've I've never seen a triply get booed more I've never seen a guy with more standing ovations and just as many times as these people been like shut You know get mad at them. That's when you know, you're saying something by the way You know what I mean when you get those fucking mixed reactions those all-or-nothing type reactions Like triply to me man. I that guy would fucking if if there's a destroy If if the times, you know, like because something they they they would put about 115 in the morning
Starting point is 01:56:29 and he would do that set Somewhere else at 10 o'clock and you could hear I remember one time fucking It dug the fucking whole place. Just it was going crazy when he did that handicap stripper shit They fucking lost their minds But yeah, and I'll tell you who me and sabash in love Was freddy soto resting peace but not just because he's dead That motherfucker man would come on at one o'clock in the morning in front of seven eight people You had a you had to do it and but would smoke a cigarette
Starting point is 01:56:59 And not even do monkey shit not even like try and get them Just get right into his fucking stories and the whole crowd Whoever was left comics would be watching and you just fucking zeroed in on that guy. That was your practice That was your practice was going up there and zeroing the fucking and going Off the rails because like I said, they've already heard everything the comedy story of the people that came out of the quarter to nine the state till 1115 and then you had another batch that came in about 10 30 and they stayed till 12 30
Starting point is 01:57:29 Then you had another batch that came about 11 45 that stayed till two And then you had the eight people that had been there from the beginning to the end all the way All the way through and they were in the back having a great time giggling that bar tap is 200 They're staying next door at the height. They don't give a fuck. They met andrew dice clay They saw two people from their favorite tv show You know, it's roguet roguet. Let me tell you man that motherfucker I remember having to follow him and just Feeling being lost just feeling like a bitch
Starting point is 01:57:57 Like going what what kind of dumb ass fucking Jokes am I going to do after this? Yeah being fucking? Yeah, just like what am I doing? And then then mitzi for almost a whole fucking year every tuesday because this is what I loved about joe There were guys that would come in that were headliners and we just bump do whatever the fuck they want He had enough decency to call in and they would always have a half hour Booked out for him. So now he knew that you know, even if he went 15 minutes over didn't throw the show off You know because he could just pop in And fucking do 45 and all those comics that were booked. So at least
Starting point is 01:58:36 They knew he would call in and they would give him those spots and mitzi kept putting me up every fucking tuesday after him every night he was on And that and I told joe this because he came down to see me one time in in uh at the comic store in la joya Because he was running a set And he said look, I don't want to bump you or whatever and I'm like, you know We're past that buddy. I followed, you know, you do what you want to do and he was nice enough He said, let me go on after you do your time, you know, such a gentleman and um, but that right there following that motherfucker, man At first I couldn't figure it out
Starting point is 01:59:13 So exploring with john jones every day. Yeah If you fight the best in the gym every day and some days you push it your confidence level zooms You know, I got my confidence at the fucking store I got my confidence at the fucking store. We'll do this and I gotta wrap it up because they just called me But I gotta tell you something. I went to miami one time for a year. I tried to sell the miami emperor paul mooney And they would go, oh no, no, we don't want them down and finally paul mooney did something And the miami emperor brought him down. Maybe 99. This is these are the things that you talked about a movie with denero That's great. But these are the things that
Starting point is 01:59:52 As my soul is leaving my body When I die, I'm gonna look at myself and go what did I really accomplish and I'm gonna think of the story I told you this is when nobody would talk to me I think I had booked a pilot Baseball Oh, yeah with uh matt and trey and a commercial a taco bell commercial. You're in baseball. Yeah, that was my first movie Yeah, that's how I joined sag one line And I stole all the roller skates from the movie. I was still a criminal then by the way, sorry
Starting point is 02:00:23 The best one line ever is you and fucking spider-man. Oh, please. I'm the king of the one When you popped on the screen. I was like, what the fuck? Yo, you gotta go through. I'm like Fucking uncle joey got it out of the fucking store and uh So i'm working with paul morning and it's uh my thursday night in miami or something And I had been in this room a thousand times to me. This room was d o r I knew the ins and outs of the room, you know, I knew what I could say at this point I was in miami six times a year
Starting point is 02:00:55 And the people got to know me as a feature and thank you I remember even david tell saying to me one time you don't have an idea what you're doing You're building a fan base as a feature act He goes, I've been in new york all my life. I come out now. I'm you know, I'm working now. You have a fan base So I don't know if we get going up there. It was one of those nights where nothing is wrong And I see paul out of the corner of my eye. You were we were at the miami and probably all the time That's one of my favorite and I saw the doors open. They just closed. Yeah, they opened and this was in the third floor Forgot about on the other side. Oh, wow. That's why an italian restaurant across in the fucking frozen drinks
Starting point is 02:01:32 Yeah, the frozen drinks man stopping and uh, and I see paul mooney out there and he doesn't close the door He leaves the door open and he's yelling at the bar staff and going like this point. I mean, I'm like Oh my god, I've known this guy For two years. I've been following him for a year. I got him into this club And he's not there complaining about me because I'm being dirty This is fucking paul mooney the famous paul mooney I'm watching him yelling. I can't hear what he's saying But I'm watching him yelling pointing at me on stage
Starting point is 02:02:07 yelling like yelling and I was like, all right, thank you and I get off and I killed but I don't know what just went on out there And I got off the stage and I go through the back door and as I'm going through the front I see paul mooney and I set the bar and I don't say that it was john John the black bartender who his father was a famous black photographer Who uh went with mohammed ali for a couple years and Photographed him and photographed richard prior and uh, he had pictures of richard prior and and uh
Starting point is 02:02:37 The movie about tarantino with the black chick with deniro where they rob uh, not foxy brown. No The other one like that. What's the her name jesus christ? Tarantino made two movies. Yeah, I'll tell you I'll tell you beautiful. Yeah sandy brown whatever the fucking name sandy brown As they go sandy brown is a beautiful black chick Tarantino made a movie that got released christmas day 97 or 98 It's got fucking uh, the guy from friday jackie brown jackie brown jackie brown. What was her name? Let's see. Is it the 70s chick? She was like the hot 70s chick. He had her father
Starting point is 02:03:16 Hamgrear, yeah His father photographed him and pan grea richard when richard prior used to date pan grea They flew uh, this bartender's father. They're making a long story short. I knew the guy And I go just what happened out here Was paul mooney mad at me and john turnip was mad at you But freedom was in here That's what it was but it was at the bar And I guess he was in the back room now, right
Starting point is 02:03:44 but Paul mooney was young that bud. You hear that you hear that laughter. That's common store laughter That ain't the improv. That's common store. Like because I guess bud didn't like one mooney, right? So paul was in there going that's common store. That's what the common store teaches you 20 years from now, they'll be asking people where they learned how to do that type of comedy And they're gonna say the comedy store dog. I just sat there frozen Like this is one of the greatest like you you do you were doing so well. It got him so amped up It got him so amped up and he to him he knew I developed that I I did get that from the comic
Starting point is 02:04:16 When I worked in the comic, so I was a shell of a fucking comic You know by 2002 I had become a comic. I was in the headliner I was a comic I had already been doing comedy 11 years at that point but that training program that college Well, they say 6 11 and 15 are those milestones. Yeah, that that 11 to year when now you're following any griffin You have conversations under the griffin. You're in a different league now. I put myself in a different league I'm not in that league with the local scenes no more I'm in a league at the comic storm at the improv talent wise. Yes, you you it's it's the altar

I saw a dude try to fight chris rock one night I saw uh, I saw dice and dom get I've seen So much crazy shit happen in that fucking room. And here's my my analogy to it You know, uh, Peter Luger's steakhouse. They say the pan is why the steaks are so good. They don't wash the pan It's been the same dirty fucking pan for 50 years, but it gets so hot. There's no germs It's just flavor just is marinated in this fucking thing for 50 years That's what the or is it's that steak pan at fucking Peter Luger's
