What's happening you bad motherfuckers, it's a beautiful day. It's Thursday the 6th of fucking October. I'm sorry I didn't have a podcast yesterday but I had to work this week. It was a fucking nightmare. I gotta do it again next Thursday.
Starting point is 00:05:17 This was not what I signed up for but it is what it is. This is the time of the year between my mother's death and just the holidays. People get a little funky. I don't get funky. I just start thinking about stuff like what's going on in the other day. I swear to God I got in the car and I was driving somewhere and I just saw that song came on. I can't go for that by all notes and I'm like fuck. Every time I hear that song it makes me think of Ralphie May. I'm sitting there and I'm like fuck.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Ralphie's anniversary is coming up soon and all of a sudden I'm like holy shit. It's gotta be one day this week. I didn't even finish that fucking thought and the Smash Brothers hit me up yesterday. Check in on me. How are you doing? I went to go. Can you believe Thursday is Ralphie's five year anniversary? I was like what the fuck? How quick did those fucking five years go? I still have his number on my phone.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's funny because I used to talk to Ralphie. My main day to talk to Ralphie. I wouldn't see Ralphie for weeks at a time but for some reason we always connected on a fucking Saturday morning on the road. He would always call me like he would go to bed at like two and get up at eight and he would talk to me in between. We'd speak for like an hour on Saturdays and I'd tell him what was going on and he'd tell me what was going on. It was kind of nice. Ralphie and my friendship was no fluff. You ever see like Matt Damon hanging out with George Clooney and that giggling and everything is a fucking riot.
Starting point is 00:07:09 It wasn't like that with him. When I was with Ralphie it was just us talking shit, smoking dope, giggling about people. He didn't take anything seriously and I miss him. I miss him as a friend but I also miss him as a stand up because as a stand up he was a unique fucking guy. He was bigger than life. He was 600 fucking pounds. He did not give a fuck. He wore that belt, the Elvis belt. He just won a championship and shit.
Starting point is 00:07:43 It was hysterical. Those fucking leather jackets. I remember after he died his wife put up clothes to sell and I'm like who fits in that jacket? The big yellow jacket from one of the specials and who fits in these fucking things? I have a 4x leather jacket upstairs that one of his friends gave me that used to give us both jackets. I can't wear that jacket. Number one, if it don't weigh 100 pounds, it don't weigh. Every time I put that jacket on I can't fucking breathe.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I'm like why am I fucking huffing and puffing because I got to weigh the best on? But Ralphie was sweet. He was a great rider. When it came to class, he was from Arkansas. When you're in California, those people look down on Southerners. I'm sorry. Listen, they just have a pre-existing mental note about Southerners. When they hear that voice and shit, it perks up their ears. Gentiles in LA. I can tell that always hurt them.
Starting point is 00:08:50 My wife, my wife is from the South and every once in a while she would throw a little twang up and fucking, you know, it was like people looking like she's retarded and that bothered Ralphie. Ralphie knew that people looked at him, you know, like a fucking redneck and he did everything he could in his power. Ralphie reminded me a lot of my mother because his past came into his future. He grew up so poor in Arkansas. He grew up so fucking poor and so like out of search, sorts. That when he got older, he wanted to make that right. So everything he did was big. Ralphie didn't buy an eighth of pot. He bought a pound of pot.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Ralphie didn't buy 10 edibles. He bought all of them from the store. You know, Ralphie didn't get two pieces of fucking white fish sushi. I mean, I was telling my wife, I remember times when we would go to Sushi Dan, listen to walk in that cost you 20. Just to walk into Sushi Dan, you're dropping 20. Whatever you pay for fucking sushi in this country, you walk into Sushi Dan, you look at, there was two places Ralphie went to. There was one fucking place that was Sushi Dan. He turned me on to Sushi Dan and I fucking loved it. But there was a place on Beverly that Ralphie would go to.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And it was just straight up gangster millionaires celebrities at this fucking sushi spot from Clint Eastwood to the fucking people from X-Men. I saw so many fucking people. And then when Ralphie hit, he started going to that restaurant. He didn't care that he had 200,000 in the bank. He was going to that restaurant twice a day every day. And when he would walk in, they would bang a drum and yell like, come on, whatever Japanese people do when you walk in. And he would look back at them and go, must be the money. Like shit like that.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Like you would just fucking die with him. He would go in there and drop guys. No exaggeration. A thousand. Like a thousand for lunch. Not a hundred. Not 250. A thousand.
Starting point is 00:10:58 $800 lunch tab. Dog, 200, 300 trips. All those Japanese people were walking around bowing the whole fucking time. We used to go to this other place when we got into sushi. We used to go to this other place on Santa Monica Boulevard right in the beginning of Boys Town. Fucking traumatic guys. I've never, ever had Albuquerque like that place again. They just didn't give you a piece of Albuquerque.
Starting point is 00:11:22 They put like fucking onions on it and those, that little red hot Filipino fucking spice. Oh my God, you would eat that shit. And we would go in there and me and Ralphie was 22 bucks all you could eat. Do you understand me? And we would walk in there and they would just look at us mortified. Like you guys are going to put us out of business. And we would go in there and kill the fucking Albuquerque. Kill it.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Every time we go back, there was a sign. Only 10 pieces of Albuquerque allowed. Like every time we went back, there would be something saying, you know, whatever fish we fucking took apart. But the best day we had, the hostess there, her name was Helen. Helen was a hot 45 year old Japanese chick. When I say hot, I mean fucking hot. And we would go in there and torment Helen. Like Helen, you taking the ass?
Starting point is 00:12:14 You know, we would just say shit to Helen like Helen, you suck a good dick. And she didn't understand. She'd go, huh? Nothing. You look pretty today. You know, like we would just tour and Ralphie would fucking die in there. That place, we destroyed that. But the best day ever, we walked in there one day and they're like, we closed.
Starting point is 00:12:33 We closed. I'm like, you're not fucking closed. You're just trying to stop the fat man's journey and shit. And they're like, no, we closed. We had kitchen. We had fire in kitchen. And me and Ralphie like, it's a sushi place. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:12:48 You mean you had a fire? You Japanese people do not know how to do Jewish lightning. Leave it to the fucking Jews. If you want to burn this place, we fucking tormented that lady. We tell her, Helen, come over, let's smack your ass. And she come over, she let us smack her. I mean, we tipped like 50 fucking bucks a piece. But that was Ralphie.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Like Ralphie wasn't into, you know, man, standup comedy has gone in the direction where it's crazy. And then Ralphie kind of started that. Ralphie bought the first convertible beamer. There was like maybe 25 of them made in the country. I don't know what he spent for this fucking thing. I don't, you know, but all these other comics, man, like there's some comics that are classy, motherfuckers like Gabriel lasers.
Starting point is 00:13:37 That's a standup motherfucker. And I'll tell you why he would have a party every year for comics. It would cost Gabriel close to 30,000, 40,000. He would have a $10,000 porco tournament. He would buy a car. He would raffle off a big screen TV. You have no fucking idea. And Ralphie had the same heart, you know, Ralphie.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I mean, he paid for Mercy's crib. I can't tell you how many times I would call Ralph and go Ralph. I don't have a dime in my pocket. And I got two flat tires and he would go, tell me what store you want to take it to. Have him call me and I'll give him my credit card without even asking guys without even asking, never embarrass me out in public. Like, hey, you know, our journey as friends went a long fucking time. And the funny thing about Ralphie was when I met up Ralphie, I mean, everybody knows this.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I was pretty much homeless and Ralphie wasn't doing any better. Ralphie just had an apartment and he was, you know, Ralphie knew how to do gigs way before me. He knew the ins and outs of County, but I missed my afternoons with him, man. Comedy change like comedy changed for me so many times. It went from being when you get to LA, you just want to be noticed and just have some spots and for people to like you, you know. And him and I would sit together every fucking half. I go over there about 11 and we'd start writing stupid jokes and then we put together our chains to figure out what the fuck we're going to eat for lunch. And some days he had it.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Some days I had it. He was a beautiful, beautiful friendship from 98. It was really beautiful. He gave me that family life. Like, I always tell people in LA, you miss the family. He filled that in. He fucking filled that in so much that I was like, and he took care of me and I'm being poor as fuck. And we would have like these little pseudo barbecues every Sunday.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I would bring a pack of chicken. Josh Wolf would bring wings, you know. It was just guys just staying alive doing the best they could. It was beautiful. And I still remember no matter how broke he was, every time we had a barbecue, he would give Josh Wolf a bag of candy. Like he would go buy fucking Ralphie Mae candy. Ralphie Mae just didn't buy a bar of Hershey's. Ralphie Mae bought a bag of Hershey's.
Starting point is 00:16:06 So he would buy it for him. But when Josh would come over, he would always give him a bag of candy for his kids. I mean, it was just, Josh talks about it. I talk about it. Doug Stanhope talks about it. When we lived on that little Hollywood row, guys, we were beyond poor. We were just poor. We were just poor.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Like things weren't happening. People calling their parents, you know, you had to do shit, you know, and we made it. Like it was the, it was the best time I had being fucking poor. Like he just, then he blew up, like he started blowing up. But in 2005 was when he really hit 2004 or 2003 when I was shooting Spider-Man 2 was when that whole thing went down. And it was, he went from living and guys go to somebody's apartment on a Monday and then call him on Thursday. And he's like, you know, come to my new place. He lived, he moved from the shitty apartment on Gardner or Schrader.
Starting point is 00:17:08 That's where we live. Schrader to a fucking, what do you call those things when you, you live in a community? Like a, it was like a fucking community. You got to go through a gate and wave at the dude and they fucking hate him. They fucking had a little liquid IV, little fucking cherry tremendous. Get your fucking kicking. They hate him. He had Sean Rouse living with him.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I'll never forget going there for the first time. He had no food in the house. He had a little bit of food and he had furniture and shit, but right smack in the middle of the room on the coffee table, which was gorgeous glass coffee table. He had a fucking jar with a pound of weed in this motherfucker and he would leave him. First he had one pound and then he just started getting two pounds, three pounds. So it would be three different types of weed in the middle of his house with a jar, like a cookie jar. Like all you had to do is open it up and take a fucking button, put it back. That's like the first week he hit.
Starting point is 00:18:15 That's it. That was his, that was his first fucking thing he did. He moved. He bought that fucking couch and TV and all this shit and he made sure he always had three pounds apart in that fucking house, man. That was, and once he hit, I was still fucking broke as fuck and he never held it against me. He never said, aren't you picking up a tab? We were doing four hundred on lunches at a steakhouse, me, him and Josh. He would just pick us up and go, you guys want to go eat me and Josh?
Starting point is 00:18:48 We're like, yeah, we're going to eat turkey burgers for lunch again. And he would go, now fuck the turkey burgers. Let me take you down to fucking, it wasn't Morton's. It was the other one right in the afternoon with crab meat and lobster tails. I'd be sitting there going, nobody would fucking believe me. That's how I ate those days. It was either him or Rogan that took me to fucking dinner. It was just insane.
Starting point is 00:19:11 It was insane. But I'm happy I had them both as friends. I'm happy they both understood the struggle. And I, I miss Ralphie, you know, he was fucking great. And just do me a favor today. At one point of the day, just watch a video of Ralphie May and laugh just for me, just to keep me alive. Because it's always fucking great just to, I watched one of his videos. I put on the podcast the other night when he started with the fucking, he hated Russians.
Starting point is 00:19:41 The filthy Russians. I don't even know what he was talking about. You know, it was, he was a beautiful, it was a beautiful life. He was a beautiful comic and he was a fucking way better friend. And it was, you know, in Hollywood and all that whole scene, you, the word love is thrown around and he's my brother and all this shit. The people don't even call you to check on you to see how your kids are, you know, not Ralphie. Ralphie called you every week. Ralphie threw you money.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Ralphie, you know, he was just a one of a kind dude. And the people that really knew him, man, they always call me like it's weird how, you know, people still heard about Ralphie. And from time to time, I got a call from like the guy that owns Nashville club. Ralphie had some good people in his life. He had like four or five great fucking people with comedy and with Hollywood. No, that shit you attract. He's fucking maggots and he had a bunch of those too. But, and I tried to talk to him and help him, but he, he loved that scene.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I hope he's in heaven and he's having a good day today. And that's it. That's all I want to talk about with Ralphie. I didn't want to make this a fucking depression fest, you know, but it was, he had amazing life. He was an amazing comic and very good to me, man. I still remember him me being in Jersey, like an hotel room and him calling me up when they're gone. What are you doing? I'm nothing.
Starting point is 00:21:08 He goes, I'm in Jersey with Lana. I want to pick you up and go take you to eat in your hometown. And he fucking spent the day in North Bergen with the venerys. We went to all these places and he loved it. He loved the stories. He loved all that shit. You know, after those jokes on the specials, those were us talking the espresso joke, the Cuban espresso. Those, and people would call me up and go, Joey, aren't you going to say something to him?
Starting point is 00:21:33 Those jokes sound like yours. You dumb motherfucker. We sat there for an hour trying to write a man in him. Sure they're going to sound like me. He didn't steal my people always calling me up. I think Ralphie doing one of your jokes. And if he is, who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck?
Starting point is 00:21:47 He's not doing one of my jokes. We used to go get food at night all the time. And I would torture him at the jalapeno poppers dog. I don't know if that motherfucker could live without jack in the box jalapeno poppers. He loved, he loved jalapeno poppers, but nothing like jack in the box. That motherfucker would go and buy three packs of those things, eat two in the car and then show up at one. I brought you some jalapeno poppers. Ralphie, I could smell the poppers from the street when you fucking parked.
Starting point is 00:22:15 No, no, I didn't. I didn't eat any. I swear he would always, and then you go in the car and you saw the two empty fucking boxes. I miss him and please today and any of your fucking journeys, just put them on on serious or whatever. You're going to laugh. He always has something like even now, five years later, I'll watch something from a standup. The one with the yellow jacket, bigger and black or something like that. He was talking some shit about two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:22:43 One of the videos popped up on my screen. I was fucking Alan. I was howling and it's like, it was the first time I had seen that joke. I said at the other day that when I started studying headliners for a year, the headliners that were the best that I saw that year were Greg Haraldo and a tight second was Ralphie May. It was a tight second and he was starting to do something that had never seen before because he was genie. He was a fucking smart dude in his own way, but he was doing something towards the end. The last 20 minutes of his set, he was selling you merch without you knowing it. It was the most brilliant thing I ever saw in my life.
Starting point is 00:23:23 He sold merch. He was saying, I'm getting out of here in a couple of minutes, but I want you to know that I have some t-shirts and CDs. You don't have to buy them. I'm not. I'm just letting you know I got them. They'll be in the back and he would go into some other spiel and a blank check and a check that bounced. And next thing you know, you're just buying fucking merch. I mean, it was the most brilliant fucking thing that I saw.
Starting point is 00:23:45 I got a bunch of calls this week. I was laughing because, I mean, the big controversy this week, the big controversy. Guys, it's getting old like all these self-made controversies in our country lately. It's a controversy and nobody went to see the game movie. Did you hear about that? They made some game movie and fucking bang brothers or it's called something like that, brothers. I don't know. I don't know what it's called.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I just been seeing different things about it. And I was laughing my ass off because enough people didn't go see it. It only made $5 million. But they got pissed off because gay people didn't want to go see it and straight people didn't want to fuck. I don't know. Listen, this is not movie season right now. If you look at the fucking what these movies are making, they're not making dick. There's not a lot of movies coming out lately.
Starting point is 00:24:37 The next big release is fucking Black Panther 2. That's it. We don't have a lot of big shit. So what the fuck was I talking about? I don't even know. The controversy. But the controversy was this bang brothers movie. That's like a porn scene, right?
Starting point is 00:24:51 No, no, no. It was a movie in the theaters. I think so, brothers. It don't fucking matter. I didn't know what was going on. I just saw a couple of things about it. And then I went to the indoor softball practice last night and there were some parents talking about it. And I was listening to them.
Starting point is 00:25:09 And then they mentioned the fucking key word in there that got me started. Judd Apatow. That's a Judd Apatow movie, okay? And listen, man. I like gay men. I don't mind them. They talk to me. I fucking love them to death.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I love my friends that are gay. The three friends that I have. I called one the other day. He hasn't called me back yet, Ian. But guys, that doesn't mean I'm going to go out and make a gay movie. You know what I'm saying? Like as a director. Or as a movie buff.
Starting point is 00:25:47 You know why? I tell you why. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. Why would I make a movie about being gay if I'm not gay? Let's discuss that. I want to make a movie about something that I know, right? I mean, right?
Starting point is 00:26:03 You're going to do a documentary. You want to do it. What do you like? I like chicken parmesan sandwiches. Okay, we'll do the documentary on chicken parmesan sandwiches because that's what you fucking know. Guys, that's what you know. Okay. So if I'm going to look into a film, like, yeah, you take challenges in your career.
Starting point is 00:26:20 There's a challenge. Like you're a comedy guy, but one day somebody calls you and says, well, you direct my mystery. And you go, you know what? I'm going to do it. I'm going to watch, not mystery, the horror show. Let me go look at all the fucking, you know, yeah, different horror movies, different genres. Who's the really good guy?
Starting point is 00:26:37 Like they plays music, Rob Zombie, all that, you know, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to look at it. And when I take the director's job, I'm going to call one of my director friends and obviously specializes in that and ask him if he's not busy to stop by this set. One or two days just to give me some pointers. Maybe he knows that's how I would do it. But I would always ask for help. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Why would a straight guy take on a gay movie? Now you guys are waiting for me to say Judd Apatow is gay. I don't know if he's gay. He's married. I like his wife. I think his wife is cute and a fuck. She's a great actress. But why would somebody take a gay movie?
Starting point is 00:27:24 I'll tell you why. Because they want the Hollywood people to come up to them and say, oh my God, you did that movie about gay people. You're so brilliant. Oh my God, you're so strong and they give you all those fucking pussy words. Your courage undermines every, you know, you're sitting there going, what courage? I got a half a million to shoot it. No courage. They pay them.
Starting point is 00:27:45 They're free. He didn't put the money up out of his pocket. So think about why a guy like me would go, you know what? I think my next comedy is going to be a gay comedy. And I'm going to do it. I'm not, you get people, but just to cut through the chase. The reason why he did it was that so people could go, oh my God, you're great. You did a fucking, you did a gay movie.
Starting point is 00:28:08 The strength of a man and people backed up. Guys like me see right through all that shit or all this fake. I give a fuck. I see right through it. I've been there. I see right through it. I know how to build it up and I know how to sell it. You know, but these guys, they don't do anything without people saying something to him.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Like, oh my God, you're so strong. You're so courageous. And then like, I know he got the fuck out of here. You want to be courageous, go to a gay bar, go in that fucking tent and let them fucking the ass and get back to me. Then go make a gay movie to see what the ins and outs are. But people didn't buy into it. Like who directed it?
Starting point is 00:28:48 Who's the movie by? If it was written by a gay guy, yeah, like a real OG gay guy. Not these new, I'm gay just so I get invited to a fucking party gay guys. Because there's a lot of that shit going around. I know a lot of you motherfuckers watch Bill Ma. And you hear how he says that all this transgender shit is happening coming out of California. It's not really building. It's picking a momentum in some other spots, but it's not really building.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And it's the same thing with these gay movies. Like, I don't mind them. Again, when it comes on HBO, I'll watch it. You know me, I like to laugh. I don't give a fuck. But to think that this movie would bomb, what is wrong with people? What is wrong with you? For actually thinking that movie was going to go over.
Starting point is 00:29:30 You got to start small. You got to make like bath house movies. Two guys meeting in a fucking jacuzzi or something. And then they go suck their dick with Dahma and then started back houses like make a movie. I want to see a gay movie where like cruising. Have you ever seen cruising without Pacino? No, nobody even knows that movie fucking exists. It came out in 1977.
Starting point is 00:29:50 It's about an undercover cop that goes into the gay world to fucking see what the fuck's going on. You know what? That movie got pulled from the movie theaters. Pulled. You can find it on YouTube or whatever. Read it on Wikipedia. Didn't do too good. Because that was the 70s.
Starting point is 00:30:06 When you were gay in the 70s, you hid in the fucking closet. That's what they called the Expansion. It's coming out of the closet. In the 70s, gay people weren't jumping up and down like they are now. When they did gay pride parades, they'd have to have protection. People throwing rocks from fucking rooftops and shit. It's not funny. I'm just telling you what the facts were.
Starting point is 00:30:24 But in 77 or 76 when cruising came out, it didn't go too fucking well. I have to watch it again. It's a dark movie and at the end of the day, it's no Academy Award winner. The thing that saved the movie, that Pacino was in it. But, you know, that's what kills me about that they take these fucking things and then they get mad at you for not showing up. Like they, oh well, nobody showed. Well, you know, in today's world right now, what's going on? We have a war escalating over there.
Starting point is 00:30:58 We got like two wars escalating. The fucking Koreans just shoot a missile over Japan. We got a bunch of shit going on over there. That's kind of fucked up to mention that we got, you know, prices going up here fucking COVID. We still live in this fucking world. That's all fucked up airline prices are going up. Everything's going up. But now you want to force this transgender conversation and gate that and I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I love that we're experiencing different things, but it's not as big as what we're experiencing. Do you know what I'm saying? Like what we're experiencing as a world right now, as a country is a lot fucking more important. And I've said this on stage. It's more important than me worrying about your fucking pronoun. It's a lot more important than it really is. So for you guys to make it an 80% news story, it's not worthy of that as we shouldn't be talking. Why should people not going to see a game movie beyond the cover of fucking Yahoo or to make you feel like I was supposed to feel bad because I didn't go see it or whatever the fuck.
Starting point is 00:32:02 But he fucking let me tell you something in the real world, like I get along. You guys know you've been watching podcast for years. I get along with a lot of comedians and I like a lot of comedians and I'm fans of a lot of comedians. You know, with Judd, I met Judd on the set of the longest yard. I met Judd. I knew who Judd was. Judd was a stand-up fucking comic. He was on a young comedian special, not a Rodney one, but a regular one with Nick DiPallo.
Starting point is 00:32:32 When I first started comedy in 91, Judd was, you know, he was the strongest Felicia. Like Felicia was kind of big. The guy from Boston was big. You know, they were kind of big. And then one day he disappeared, Appleto. I had no idea what the fuck he was doing. Nor did I care. You know, you're out there.
Starting point is 00:32:54 And one day he just showed up on the set of the longest yard. He was good friends with Adam Sandler and David Spade. And he showed up one day. They all showed up and they were talking. And it was really weird. Like the third time I saw Appleto, I said hello to him. Like, hey Judd, how you doing? You know, you want to be a nice guy?
Starting point is 00:33:11 And he was kind of weird to me. Like, hey, you know, whatever. I didn't give a fuck. I'm smoking dope hanging out with Michael Irvin. Whatever, give a fuck about Judd Appleto for. And the next day we're on the set. Bert Reynolds is there with the fucking, with Dom Delouise. They're making spaghetti sauce and shit.
Starting point is 00:33:31 And we're having a great time in Austin. They go, Joe, you got to go to your scene. And when I was doing my scene, I don't know if... Guys, I appreciate people coming over and trying to help me. But there's sometimes when people come over and they try to help you, that it comes across wrong. And I'm sitting there about to do a scene with Nellie or something. Oh, we're going to do a locker room scene.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I had the thong. We were walking to go over there. And Judd Appleto just comes up to me and goes, that scene could have been a little better. What? They were laughing. I was laughing. It was what Adam told me to say.
Starting point is 00:34:06 What the fuck were talking about? I felt that scene could have been better. I felt like he was cutting me down. Like, Adam fucking told me to do what I was doing in that scene. What did I do wrong? Like, out of nowhere. He was hanging out with Adam. Yeah, he was starting to be a director, I guess.
Starting point is 00:34:26 And he said that to me. And I looked at him and I'm like, yeah. And I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? You know, here my confidence is up. I'm like, listen, to walk on that set was scary enough to walk on that set with Tracy Morgan and Adam and Chris for the fucking for a guy that never went to Montreal and shit was scary enough. Once I picked up my momentum, that got scary.
Starting point is 00:34:51 I let these motherfuckers know Uncle Joey wasn't fucking around. And the day they decided that was a day I threw myself on my back and I'm yelling, you know, get me a Diet Coke and all that shit. That's the day they were like, that's it. Just keep them here. Just fucking keep them here. That gave me a boost of fucking confidence. Like, you know, guys, I'm, I'm the low man on the totem pole in this movie.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Let's be honest. Nick DeTour was an M.W.P.D. Blue. Me and Lobo were probably the lowest fucking two guys on that thing. So for them to sign me and keep me there and do all this shit. Guys, I didn't get an ego, but it felt good that here I am with my peers and I'm doing my job well considering I never went to a training academy or I never hung out with, you know, Christian Bale and all that shit. You know, it wasn't bad, you know.
Starting point is 00:35:42 And this guy comes up to me and I like, he went away and we did the fucking, like even that scene when I went into the locker room. I went into the locker room. It was just a regular scene and I'm sitting there and I'm thinking about how I could be better like for young actors or comics or whatever. When you go into a scene, it's great on paper. It's great. But I like to look at it from time to time and see how it could be better.
Starting point is 00:36:09 This is why his statement fucked me up because I was like, I'm the type of guy that I'll look at a scene and I'll go into a scene when they're blocking. Blocking is when you go into a scene before you shoot the scene. You're not even in wardrobe yet. You just go in there and they tell you where all the cameras are going to be, where your position is going to be, where he's walking in and they run a couple of them. It doesn't matter about the lines or anything. They just run them to see how they can't move that camera a little, go to a size 16 lens,
Starting point is 00:36:44 blah, blah, blah. That's what they do. That's yeah, the lighting, all that shit. That's what they do in that scene. For some people, some people go in there and they just block and they're looking around and they're cracking jokes. Not me. When I go on those scenes, I'm looking at everything.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I'm looking at what I could feed off of. What the fuck can I feed off? All this shit is fed material. You know, when I was watching Honeymooners the other night, Norton walks in with Ralph. They get past something. Norton looks back and it's a statue of Venus de Milo with no head and Norton goes, boom. And he goes, Ralph, he must have had a Ron Barber, right? That shit.
Starting point is 00:37:23 That's not in the script. That is not in the script. How do I know? Because the script writer does not sit down and make a fucking joke about something on the wall. Norton on the way in, Arkane came in and he goes, Ralph, that's what I'm trying to talk about. When you do that blocking, you're looking for things to feed off of.
Starting point is 00:37:45 They're not just standing there. What if I just picked this up and hit myself on the head? Anything. Anything to make the scene better. So I'm sitting there and I'm analyzing this fucking scene. And I'm like, you know who make this scene better? If I was fucking naked. Like no shirt on, no shorts, just like Serrano Major League.
Starting point is 00:38:07 That's what would make this fucking scene better. Nobody, nobody, that was not in the fucking script, guys. That was Uncle Joey fresh out of the fucking comedy store creativity thinking, mixing it with other movies I've seen. I went up to Adam, he was talking to two little white dudes in suits from Paramount. And I go, Adam, I want to wear a thong for this one. He's like, what? I want to wear a thong for this shot.
Starting point is 00:38:28 And he just looked at me and he was, he had like a smile on his face, like a devilish like, damn, Diaz, you're a team player. I'm like, I want to play a thong. And right away, one of the white dudes comes up and he's like, you can't wear a thong. We're having enough problems with rating all this shit. Joey's too big. It won't look good. Adam's like, okay, get this man a fucking jockstrap.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Get him a jockstrap. And I fucking stripped naked to add to the scene in the locker room in front of all those motherfucking yolks. All the motherfucking yolks just looked at me while I was changing. They saw the Cuban egg roll. I put my thong on and I go, what? And I sat there and guys, this is what I'm saying. You got to work the scene.
Starting point is 00:39:12 But back to Judd Apatow. So that scene is getting all these laughs. We're having a great time in there. Michael Irvin strolling his shirt at fucking Bosworth and all this stuff. And then we're headed to a Nellie. Nellie released his two albums that day on 2004. It was like October, September, 2004. Nellie released something and something else and we were all going to the party.
Starting point is 00:39:40 And as we were walking out, Judd came over to me again. You didn't say nothing to him the first time, right? No. I already had enough problems. They knew I was doing blow on the set at night and they had sent me to talk to a doctor. So I didn't want to really, you know. Now the second time he comes up to me as I'm walking out of that scene, which I thought, guys, I thought I did a good job on that scene, he came over again and said something.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Oh, shit. But by that time I was talking to Nellie and the other guys. I was like, fuck this guy. What the fuck? You know, then all of a sudden I don't see him again. He comes out for the 40 year old virgin and then he's doing all these fucking movies, right? So I go back down to the store in 2016, 2014, something like that. And, you know, I'm rekindling myself because I haven't been at the store in fucking years.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I'm rekindling myself with all these comics and, you know, Bill Burr I got attached to again and Dean Delray and Mark Marin and, you know, Whitney Cummings and Eliza. I was just getting in the groove and then it was great. And I started hearing that he would come in, whatever his name is, Judd Apatow would come in and he would always just go, I want to go up next, you know. Now, what people don't know about the store is for years that's what the store was based on. People coming in and going, who's up next?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Mike is. No, he's not. I'm going up. I'm pulling rank on Mike. Mike's a regular comic. I'm on a TV show, you know, I'm a director. I pull rank on Mike, which I never liked. And all my guys, I don't pop into a lot of comedy clubs today because you have to respect
Starting point is 00:41:26 the headliner. Okay. At least I do. It's like when I went to see Chaz D on Saturday night, people come up to me, can we take a picture? No. He's the headliner. I'm not here to take.
Starting point is 00:41:39 That is the most pathetic thing in the world. You know, I'm not here to take his fucking steam. I'm going to sit in the back of mind my fucking business. So, uh, yeah, he's coming in. Leslie's coming in. Leslie Jones, who makes me laugh is coming in a lot of them are coming in and it doesn't bother me. I remember early on one night, I was about to go up and Louis CK bought me and I just
Starting point is 00:42:02 got my car and went home. They were pissed at me. These motherfuckers don't know. I just go home. Right. So I just, I don't have time for it no more. I'm too old to put up with him. You want to, if you want to put up Lewis instead of me, you made your choice.
Starting point is 00:42:18 I'll go home. I'm okay with it. I don't need, you know, so I went home that one time. That was it. And then, uh, yeah. I just went up. I don't play games like that. I just go home.
Starting point is 00:42:30 I take my reef and I go home. And I don't have nothing against Louis CK anything, but he could have waited to go out after me. So I was like, I'm leaving. And the promoter for him not to do that knowing my situation is also a scumbag. So I just left. Well, like 2020, when the pandemic, 2020, 2019 guys, like I've said this, and I've never spoken like this before. Six months before the pet from the pandemic, when the pandemic came down March 16th to go six months back. That was the best I ever was to stand up comedian.
Starting point is 00:43:14 I mean, that's how I felt when I go on stage. I don't feel what I felt those six months before the pandemic. I was at my peak as a comic, like not as a peak, but you're there. You're in that groove. When you do stand up for two, three years continuously with no breaks, you start getting in a groove. I had already always been in the groove at the comedy store. You don't want to fuck with me at the comedy store because the comedy store is where I went in there in 1997 and I hosted in there every week. And I worked in that original room and the main room.
Starting point is 00:43:49 In my first stint, I didn't have the main room down. I can tell you that I wasn't that experienced and I wasn't good enough. I don't know. I don't know what it was from the 450 seats, but the original room, I knew how to chop it down. Like I just said before about when you, when you shoot a movie and you block. When you block, you get to see the different things that the room or the stage has to offer you in the comedy store. Since listen to some clubs that I'm just always money at. The original room, the ice house, back room, uh, Brea, the old Brea.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I could burp and make you fucking laugh in the old Brea because I knew the walls. I knew the pictures. I knew every nook and cranny, the ice house, the regular room is the easiest room in the country. For last, when you throw something out, the feeling you get back at you is fucking tremendous. I love these rooms, but I'm not good in those rooms because I'm good in those rooms. I'm good in those rooms because I fucking grew up in those goddamn rooms. So the original room at the comedy store is my number one home. I could turn my back to the audience in there and kill looking at the fucking curtains.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Okay. Just guys, trust me on this one. I would not lie to you guys. I'm not a big ego type of dude, but I know these things. These are just, it's just easy the way Rogan's good up there. Forget about how Delia had that fucking original room going alley one. The little, the original room is perfect for comedy. So Joey, get to the fucking story already.
Starting point is 00:45:25 So I'm about to go up at the store and, uh, they come up to me and they go, Hey man, that's not going to happen until he's here and he wants to bump you. And I go, that's not going to happen. And those two managers just looked at me and go, what? And I go, that's not going to happen. If he wants to go up, he go up behind me. And that's just fair because the comedy store had a popping rule that you could pop in. If you were that good of a comic or credits or, you know, you want a TV show that was very popular.
Starting point is 00:45:57 After Tommy, after Tommy got fired and my man took it over, they had a rule. They don't care if you come in, but just call us, just call us and give us the respect. Just call and go, Hey, I'm coming in. I'll be there around 1030. If I go up at 1145, 1045, you would be great. The comedy store works with you. But for you just to walk in and go, I'm going up next, they were all like in shock. Like, hold on, let's, who's up next?
Starting point is 00:46:26 Joey Dears, let's go ask him. I'm not going out. No, he's not bumping me. He's a director. I'm a comedian. Big fucking difference. Big fucking difference. I'm going up.
Starting point is 00:46:38 So they went and tell him he's not too happy, but he won't say nothing to me. So as I walked to the stage, I give him a look like what the fuck do you think guy? You know what I'm saying? And he gives me like this swarmy look like, you know, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you know. Okay, motherfucker. I was so mad about that him wanting to bump me, whatever. Listen, the best. If you ever want to see me kill the room, piss me off two minutes before I go to room, before I go on stage.
Starting point is 00:47:08 How do you piss me off by talking about dumb shit or your matching phones or, you know, your new app on your computer? Like I'm about to go up in front of 300 people and you stupid motherfuckers back here talking about some, and that's how I get. I go off and right from there. You stupid motherfuckers are talking about fucking cell phones back here. They're like, Joey, you're up next. And I'm like, fuck you, cock, suckers. Right there. That's where you don't want me.
Starting point is 00:47:33 That as a, as a, as a, as a fan, that's where you want me. But as a comic who's going to go up after me, you don't want me trickling up those steps talking about you. And I'm going to get over mad on purpose. I'm going to get overly mad at you so I could fucking take that anger like this. You having a matching cell phone with somebody and like showing each other the data like, look, does your phone have that? Like it gets me mad, but not mad enough to throw you out a window. I get that mad because I know I want to go up stage. Like they just lit the little match and I'm just blowing oxygen on it.
Starting point is 00:48:10 But I got to over, over fucking get mad. So when I go up on that stage, it's lights out, motherfucker. And on that particular night, it was lights out from the first minute. It was one of those nights. I had to follow Ally Wong. I was already paranoid, fucking Ally's throwing heat. I got to go up there and I went up there and even at like the six minute mark, I was out of breath. Like I'm like, what the fuck's going on? Cause I was so anxious so far.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I had four fucking double cups of espresso in me. In other words, I was ready to stab a motherfucker and I went up there, dog. And I picked that room apart piece by piece. I get fucking emotional thinking about it piece by piece. I just took that room apart. And at one time I looked at the back and I just saw Judd, like fucking his mouth was open. We made eye contact in the stage and he looked like a fucking hurricane was coming his way. It was a hurricane, either.
Starting point is 00:49:07 And all of a sudden I fucking got off, I brought him up. I know this guy from Young Comedian. You know him as a director. I wanted to say, fuck this punk. But I controlled myself and come up to the stage. And as I walked off the stage, I just gave him like a look like, what were you thinking guy? And I walked to get a drink at the bar, like a water. And when I get to the bar, I'm not there three minutes and they're like, Joey, you got to go see this.
Starting point is 00:49:38 The managers are like, Joey, you got to go see this in comics. And I'm like, I don't want to see this fucking shit. And then comics go like, Joey, you got to see this. So I ran to the original room. I walked at them. I'm like, what? Judd Apatow was on stage. He had his notes out and he was sweating profusiously.
Starting point is 00:49:58 He had never experienced the wrath of the fucking King of Swing. As Joe Rogan likes to put it, he had never experienced that. And it was one of those nights where, listen, Jesus would have said, no, no, no. No, I'm not going up after Joey. Put some mook up there so he could, oh my God, it was not good. And I waited there till he walked off the stage and walked down those stairs. And I just gave him a look like, you dumb motherfucker. And that was the end.
Starting point is 00:50:30 If you check out Judd Apatow, he does not do sets at the comedy store no more. He goes to a club called Largo. It's a very, you know, alternative crowd. I don't know. I don't know what the fuck he did that special. That special was null and void after he followed me. If you were there that night, you were like, I'm not watching that fucking special. It was not good.
Starting point is 00:50:54 But I don't feel great about this, guys. It's a funny story. And it's just, you know, the ego shit of LA that I fucking hated. And that's the only way I knew how to fight. Guys, whenever somebody pulled the ego on me or whatever as a kid, I knew two ways how to fight back. Rob them or make them follow me and fucking destroy them on stage. That's the only weapons I have. That's the only weapons I have.
Starting point is 00:51:20 When you would get cute with me when I was a kid, I'd make a mental note. And the first time I had an opportunity to rob your fucking house and take your pound of coke, I took it. I did not give a fuck. That's how I played. If you're going to play that way, I'm going to play this way. That's, and listen, I'm not, but I'm telling you guys, if you're a young comic watching this, this is not for you. I want you to be part of a show. I never want you to go out of your way to blow somebody off the stage.
Starting point is 00:51:48 But as your fucking comedic advisor, if a headliner gives you a hard time, your goal is to do everything you fucking can to rock his fucking world. When you walk into a room and a headliner comes in to you and he's been an extra and he's like telling you, like, oh, when you go up there and mention my name this way and do this and this and this. And don't curse and don't say the word pussy. And you're like, okay, first off, the word pussy is the first fucking word I'm going to say because I don't know you. I don't know some guy named fucking Joe Gags. Get the fuck out. I don't know you. Who the fuck are you to tell me that to say fucking, you know, it's that shit.
Starting point is 00:52:28 So all those people, I used to take them apart. I remember doing rascals one time. I remember one time I did rascals with Vic D and it was a great week. We had met earlier. We had a great time. But one time I did stand up the week I shot analyze that I had to work with Rocky La Porte out of Chicago. I always like Rocky. But for some reason on that week, he was all over me like a cheap suit.
Starting point is 00:52:57 I killed the first show on Thursday and he took me in the back and a lot to improvise no more. Well, you told me not to do dirty material. Now I can't improvise no more. And then I went back to the dirty. You can't do dirty material. And finally I got him on a fucking Friday and I go, listen, I'm doing what the fuck I want. The head dude that got me and Vic were talking about. I brought him in.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I go tell him when you book a headlining gig, if I come out of here and blow sparklers out of my asshole for 45 minutes. You got to figure out a way to follow me. If not, don't take the headlining gig. Don't take it. And we settled that. He got mad at me. I don't think he'll ever talk to me again. But K Sarah, Sarah bitches.
Starting point is 00:53:40 You know what I'm saying? It's Thursday, you bad motherfuckers. I watched my brother George sent me a video of the day and I saw it on Twitter. Some girl retweeted of Tom Segura and Rogan talking about me the other day about. But my brother was like, that's a fucking hilarious story that you don't work Sundays. And I'm like, listen guys, I had to sell it to those guys. Those guys would not take my fucking words for years. I'm an old school guy, I work seven days a week.
Starting point is 00:54:17 I don't give a fuck about nothing. But have you ever done stand up on a Sunday night? It's not good. It's not good. It's good if they call me from Uncle Vinny's or the stress factor and say, Joey, can you fill in a Sunday night? I'll be more than happy to go over that. I'll be more than happy to go over there and do 45 minutes just to bail them out. But if you tell me you want me to come to your town and work a Sunday, that's not happening.
Starting point is 00:54:51 That's never gonna happen. I started comedy in 1991 and by 93 I worked every fucking Sunday. I know where I worked on Sundays. It was brutal. The comedy show, follow the line dancing show. Okay, so they would go from achy breaky heart to welcome to comedy night on a fucking Sunday in some bumfuck redneck town in Colorado. I did it every Sunday. When you get into comedy, they call you and they tell you Thursday, you know, Tuesday through Sunday and you take them and you take them.
Starting point is 00:55:25 So from 91 to 97, I think. I was all in, you know, by 97, 98, I was going on the road. I was going on the road three times a month, you know, by 2000 I was on the road either with Rogan or my own. And I'll never forget one, I think it was like 99. I hadn't met Terry yet and I was at the Dallas improv, Addison improv, great, great fucking club. I like that town. I've always liked that town, but on this particular Sunday, I fucking woke up. You know, you get up on a Sunday, you're a little hungover.
Starting point is 00:56:05 At that time, I was still hungover. You know, you get up, you smoke a few cigarettes, you drink a cup of coffee. Maybe you eat some breakfast at that time. They didn't have a fucking breakfast in the hotel lobby. They had like a Danish or something like that, but it wasn't, you know. And you either go to the gym, you eat lunch and then you wait till fucking eight o'clock to do your show. That's Sundays, guys. You wait all day to do a show on fucking Sunday.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Yeah, you watch football. It's not bad. You go to, I used to go to Chuck and Jive, a little seafood gumbo bar and watch the game. Some guy gave me Dallas tickets once, but it was on this particular Sunday that I went back to the hotel. Got show and went to do the show. And I'm like, what the fuck? I walk in there and there's 60 fucking people. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:56:57 If you live in Dallas and you go to a comedy show on Sunday, especially in the wintertime, I don't want to perform for you people. Like it got to the point where I didn't want to perform for them because they were goofy. Who goes on a Sunday night to see comedy? We were here all fucking weekend. You could have came, but tonight, tonight is when you want to come see comedy. And there was 60 or 50 fucking people. And I'll never forget when that guy gave me the check, Trey Blue, great guy gave me the check that Sunday. I go, he goes, I want to book you again for 90 days.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Because when you're a feature, you could go to a club back and forth. And I said, yeah, and I said to him, I'm not working Sunday though. And he was like, but what am I going to do? You got to work Sunday. So a lot of clubs, when I made up my mind that I wasn't working Sundays, a lot of clubs wouldn't hire me and I didn't give a fuck. And then I started pulling the Louis Lamour. I said, fuck it out, fuck with them. After I got like mad TV and maybe like analyze that, I started using my head.
Starting point is 00:58:03 I started going, yeah, I'll work Wednesday through Sunday. Absolutely. And when the week came, I would call him Tuesday and go, hey man, I'm flying into mom, but I can't. I already had him over a barrel. I already had him over a barrel. They're stuck. They're not going to say don't come. I would say I can't where I got to leave Sunday if you get a replacement.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Okay, I get it. You're doing a movie. I did that. I pulled that fucking line for years. And then Joe would do Sundays. For some reason, Joe would go to Florida and do Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And I would get furious. I would fucking yell at him before the trip while we were coming home.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Like you have to come home on Monday. Monday sucks dick to fly. And these motherfuckers were flying out at one. So you're not getting back home till five in the afternoon. That's your whole day. I don't have time for that shit even when I was 38. I don't have time for that shit. So I decided I'm not doing fucking Sundays no more.
Starting point is 00:59:00 And I told Joe and I told everybody, right? And they thought I was fucking with them. Do you know how many times I left Joe in the city and left on a Sunday? And he wouldn't talk to me for two or three weeks. I would just leave on a Sunday morning. Joey, where are you? I had to leave, brother. I told you, I don't work Sundays.
Starting point is 00:59:21 They could not believe it. They could not believe it. I still remember being on a plane with Joe and him fucking like yelling at me. Like, Joey, what the fuck am I going to listen? Because he got married way before I did. Like he was with her way before. You know, like he was starting to make things happen. I was still dating Terry and he was like already like moving her in.
Starting point is 00:59:42 So I told him when they go one day you're going to have fucking kids and you're not going to work Sunday. And he thought about them within like a year. He knew he wasn't going to get me to work Sundays. They all knew. And I still remember sitting in Tom's to go down and go listen, you motherfucker. If you work a Sunday, I'm going to fucking stab you. You, Bert, all of you do not work Sundays
Starting point is 01:00:03 because then that's going to open up the fucking floodgates for us. And they'd be like, I don't mind working Sunday. No, you're not going to work fucking Sundays. All of them. I yelled at all of them till they all quit Sundays. And that was the end of it. I would do Sundays at the store if I had to. Like if Mellow had a show or something.
Starting point is 01:00:20 And guys, just so you know, I was doing this as a feature act. This was way before the longest yard. This was way before the park. This is 10, 15 years before the podcast. I just decided one day I'm not doing it. I don't give a fuck. I rather not work. They have to work a Sunday.
