July 13th.
A beautiful day to be alive.
If you're Jewish, this is the anthem.
If you're not, this is the anthem.
Church, what's happening now, you bad motherfuckers?
I'm not a Christian.
I'm not a Christian.
What's happening now, you bad motherfuckers?
Who the fuck do you think you're dealing with?
It's America, motherfucker.
Wake up, watch that monkey.
Who the fuck do you think you're dealing with?
What's happening, baby boy?
I had a great weekend.
I actually did.
You were in San Francisco walking around.
Italian tours.
It was a lot of fun.
We don't talk about it that much,
but you've been really great to me over the past couple of years.
You're a great man.
We're hitting $300 on Wednesday,
and I told you that we were thinking about going to San Francisco
for an anniversary, but hotel rooms are just insane up there.
You didn't tell me about it,
but you gave me some extra money so I could go for my anniversary.
We had a great time.
We were a family here,
and sometimes I felt guilty about not taking you to Boston.
The plane tickets were so expensive.
Oh, they're crazy.
So I gave you the same amount for the plane ticket.
Sometimes you want to do something for somebody.
Something nice.
And you know what?
I'm not a fucking retard, but I'm not a moron.
I know sometimes if I'm going to buy you something for $200,
I'm going to go, you know what?
What's Lee going to need more?
Does he want $200 for some stupid fucking New England shirt?
Or does he want $200 to go get his nice fucking dinner with his wife
that he could both enjoy?
You follow me?
That's the type of guy I am.
So sometimes when I see, like, I don't get people a lot of shit,
but sometimes I see something,
and I go, that fits that person's needs.
I'm going to get up in them,
and I look at the price tag and go,
what does this person really need from me?
Does he need this stupid fucking football shirt
or a hat that I was going to get you one time for $300?
Or do I give him the $250 and let him go enjoy it?
You follow me?
That's the type of motherfucker I am.
So, and it's nice to get a hat from time to time.
I'm not saying nothing about that.
Oh, no, it's great, but it's also, like, part of me for a second
was like, ooh, I have all these bills.
I could pay some bills.
But then I was like, she really wants to go,
and I want to go, and we had a great time.
Listen, you put work in.
I'm not a big 10-day fucking vacation guy on a cruise.
But I tell you what, a change of scenery
does the soul great sometime.
Lee, I'm talking about, honey, we got no money,
but I have enough to take you to San Diego, to Costa Mesa,
to get a sandwich and just to walk on the boardwalk.
You know how many people like that?
You know how many people re-earn to do something like that?
Yeah.
Sometimes it's the simplest things, Lee.
I've always been into the simplest things, you know?
And sometimes you have such a better time.
Some of the best times I've had was when I was broke
and making the best out of $18.
Yeah.
Making the best out of $18 with somebody.
We didn't really do a lot of crazy things up there.
We stayed in a nice hotel, but other than that,
we went and did one of those tandem bikes.
Not the ones that are like two-seat, like back-and-back,
but it's like you sit side-by-side.
That was fun.
We walked around like the hippie hill.
Have you been in the Golden Gate Park?
Fuck yeah.
I worked across the street from Golden Gate Park.
Really?
In 1985.
What were you doing?
Bartending.
Oh, wow.
I hate that.
I had a bar called Rockin Robbins
across the McDonald's on the corner.
Did you see that McDonald's?
No.
I want to hate Ashbury.
It could be a Burger King.
We went to hate Ashbury.
There's that Ben and Jerry's.
I went to that record store right in it,
like a block down, and I got two Richard Pryor albums.
And I took a star before I went.
It was a lot of fun.
It was just like, when am I going to be up there?
San Francisco is a very neat city that everybody should see.
It was the first big city I saw when I got out of New York
and I immediately fell in love.
Oh, it's great.
Only one thing I got to tell you.
I wanted you to stay at a nice hotel because
that's a bad place to stay at a bad hotel.
I'm not putting the city down or anything.
The Tenderloin and all that shit down there,
that shit's real.
Yeah, we walked by it.
Ladies and gentlemen, that shit's real.
As a young man, I was up there at the age of 20,
and I saw more blood in a summer
than I saw in my whole fucking life in New York City.
Really?
Right by the old original Joe's,
I saw a guy getting stabbed once and the brown,
the blood was fucking black.
Like, he was clinging to fucking life.
I saw another guy get stabbed.
I saw a fist fight with sticks on time when I was walking,
because I used to take the bus back from Haydash,
from Haydashbury to the, whatever the fuck I just told you,
the Tenderloin, and then have to walk two or three blocks.
I saw shit at night.
I saw a pimp beating the fuck.
I caught the tail end of the chick on the floor
by the bus station in the Tenderloin.
So that was all in fucking,
plus I saw the guy that was a boogaloo and hit the gay guys
and smacked their wig off.
I saw a lot of crazy shit,
so I'm happy that you stayed in a nice hotel
and you had no problems with fucking, you know.
It was great.
And when they used to have that show about the hookers,
didn't they have a documentary years ago on HBO about hookers?
Yeah, they had a bunch of them.
I loved those shows.
A bunch of them in San Francisco.
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy up there.
The Chinese mob is up there.
Really?
Yeah, that's all Chinese run.
I don't know if it's,
I'm the smallest person,
I'm not a tough guy at all,
but I've always been,
maybe I'm stupid,
I don't really get scared in cities.
I make good choices.
I've never walked through Harlem.
You gotta go by crack
at a neighborhood at three in the morning.
But if I was walking,
our hotel is right next to the Tenderloin,
and we saw some people who were like,
eh, we probably wouldn't want to hang out with them,
but if I was just walking, minding my business,
I've never felt like scared that they would mess with me.
If I'm not being nosy,
if I'm not trying to mess with them,
if I just walk by,
I don't think anyone's going to mess with you.
I tell you, it's all in your body language sometimes.
Your body language really tells a lot of you,
tells the energy that you're giving off.
Sometimes if you walk,
some people walk and they antagonize people
because they're flexing their arms.
Oh yeah.
You know, sometimes,
you know, it's just body language is so much.
I used to go into deep neighborhoods late at night,
and I'd be scared shitless,
but I knew if I contained my body
and I kept eye contact to a limit
and I walked like I had done it a thousand times before,
nobody would fuck with me.
Atlanta was great too.
I had a great time.
Was it really?
Yeah, it's a nice little fucking club, man.
It's very quaint.
The people were very nice.
A nice little family,
a nice couple came and gave me a candle
from the Chattanooga candle company,
a coconut motherfucking cream pie.
Smells delicious.
You haven't been to Atlanta since I've known you.
I don't think.
Other than Rogan Special.
Right, the Tabernacle.
They have the skull bones, which is 73 seats.
So if I had 200 people there on Thursday,
I'd have to do three shows on a fucking Thursday night.
Is it an earthquake or someone below is doing something?
I don't know.
I think somebody below is banging fucking something.
So it was the improv was like a year old.
It's a great little club.
It's nice to have sushi on the menu.
Really?
The only knock I had was that they put me at a hotel
where all there was was a pond and room service.
And the California fucking cheesecake factory
across the street.
So every time I go to California,
cheesecake factory is a 45 minute wait,
even to set the fucking bar.
Yeah.
So I either had a room service or the pond,
which, you know, it's not fucking bad,
but it's not what I usually want to fucking spend
for lunch and dinner and breakfast.
Right, get expensive.
Yeah, get fucking expensive.
So we had you tweeted a picture of original Joe's
and it's funny how I said to you to go
and you got to talk her into it.
So funny how every time we go to San Jose,
you've been with me.
How many times we did original Joe's?
Basically every meal.
We went, we went for breakfast once.
It wasn't even breakfast,
but we woke up and we like, you're like,
it opens at 1030 or whatever it opened.
And we were there as we open the doors.
Two steak eggs with toast
and they put the steak on the toast or the butter.
I don't think we even got eggs.
I think we got spaghetti.
We got spaghetti.
But it's, when we talk about food on the show
or restaurants, I want people to know this
so they know what I'm talking about.
You know man, if you go to that Luger place,
Peter Luger in New York, that's a great steak.
There's a bunch of places you go for a great steak.
And I'll tell you what, on the way out,
it's gonna cost you $55.
I don't know about you guys.
I can't pay $55 for a steak.
That's a once in a fucking lifetime thing for me.
We go, we get the mashed potatoes
and you know, we go to the lunch special
at Ruth Chris and get the mutt thing,
the fucking eight ounce steak or something.
When I talk about great steak,
and I know people who listen to the podcast
don't have the money to go to these fucking restaurants.
No.
But Original Joe's is one of those places
that I could get a steak in there for $21.
And it's fucking delicious with the onions
and the mushrooms and the side of pasta.
You know, I love that place.
To me, I don't like going to a place where I don't belong.
Like there's places where I don't belong, man.
Right.
I got 19 fucking forks.
I just need one motherfucking fork.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't need 19 fucking forks with my salad
and full of that touffé and shit.
I'm not even bread no more.
Really?
No, I stopped.
You cut out all bread?
Good for you.
That's hard.
I got the wheat pasta and the wheat pasta.
I don't know the difference between that and the pasta
except the fucking carbs are the same.
So what's the fucking difference?
But I guess the-
I think it's a lie.
I thought that when I first started looking,
you think something like whole wheat
is gonna be better for you and then it's not.
I feel like-
This isn't just eating the pasta.
It isn't good for you because of the gluten
and you get puffy and whatnot.
But I was looking at that last night.
I had whole wheat pasta cup
and I'm still fucking dying here carb-wise.
Well, this weekend proved it to me
is that it's all about working out
because we stopped and got-
we already stopped at this place
called Casa de Fruta with a whole bunch of candy.
We got McDonald's ones
and I lost weight in San Francisco.
But we walked everywhere.
So that's all it is.
I feel like that-
I mean, you have to keep your diet under control.
But if I can lose weight
eating candy in McDonald's
and you just walk it up and down hills,
that's all really-
because you work out a lot.
You work out almost every day, it seems like.
Wow.
I try to do something every day.
Yeah.
You know, a little something every day.
Tomorrow I walk Mercy
and I'm gonna take my wife to breakfast
and we're gonna go do-
do and do with movies or high
or whatever the fuck it is.
Then I'll come back
and I'll try the deadlift or something.
I'll go to Jiu-Jitsu Wednesday.
By Thursday I'll take a day off,
maybe Friday do upper and lift.
Okay.
I always try to do something.
This weekend I did some great stuff.
I got on the bicycle for 20 minutes.
Then I jumped on the electrical fraternity
and then I jumped in the pool for 20.
And I gotta tell you, I was fucking sore Sunday.
When I flew Sunday from Atlanta,
I couldn't even fucking move.
Do you know I slept three hours on the flight?
Oh, good for you.
You know that?
That my sleeping ever since I went to Jiu-Jitsu
and learned to breathe on my back
and not panic.
I'm sleeping now, brother.
So it's not like you're losing weight
and then just lessing the sleep apnea.
I think that too.
I think that my-
but I'm also not having that fear.
I had a big time fear of being on my back.
Anybody who has sleep apnea
and the numbers are high,
you develop a fear
because you wake up choking
and there's nothing worse than waking up.
So I understand waking up choking is scary,
but how does that translate to Jiu-Jitsu
when you're awake?
Okay, because after you go through that
and after you get it treated,
you still have the lingering effects
of the going on your back.
And every once in a while when you go for air,
let's say you go to move
and you put your shoulder on the hose or something
and the air locks up and you miss air,
you go into that panic state.
And that's what was happening to me.
I went to see the psychotherapist
but it was nothing about that.
It was just getting on my back
and overcoming the fear.
Remember when Hegan was here?
He told the story about getting on the guy
and the guy said,
get off me, I'm panicking.
He goes, no.
Breathe, stop what you're doing
and think about this and get me off you.
If you don't panic and you capture your breathing again
and your mind clears
because breathing keeps your mind
really keeps your mind very clear.
No matter what's happening to you,
if you keep breathing in and out your nose
and at least you know where you are, you know,
it clears your mind.
It makes you block or run or see an opening
or you left his leg opening
or he dropped his knife on the floor.
I could stab him in the calf.
You know, breathing.
Just keep breathing.
You know, even in jiu-jitsu
when you go through like a big thing
like Hegan goes for you, you go for him.
You stop.
Now you stop.
You're breathing.
You're collecting your thoughts.
You're looking at them.
Now you're looking at his right arm
but you know you're going for the left arm.
Right.
You know, so there's just little things.
Breathing controls all that.
Breathing is everything.
Breathing controls the lifting.
When you lift weights,
if you do certain exercises a certain way,
if your breathing is aligned with your body,
you're an unstoppable force.
I was never taught to breathe
until five years ago.
What do you mean by that?
I was doing everything and holding my breath.
Oh, okay.
Got it.
Okay.
So the weights come on me
instead of breathing.
So as they go down, you exhale
and as you go up, you either inhale, exhale.
I don't know which one.
I'm just saying once I'm on that.
So boom, boom.
And you know, so it's all with your breath.
Your breath controls a lot of movements.
Right, yeah.
When people are boxing and they throw a punch,
they throw those little things out, you know,
whatever the fuck they do.
Yes.
And then they retract through their nose,
then they spit out through their mouth.
But in every aspect, breathing,
it's like when I go swimming,
I have to change my breathing.
Because as I'm going,
as I'm pushing, I'm sucking in.
Okay.
As I'm putting my head up,
I'm sucking in oxygen.
Once my head goes down again,
I'm blowing it out in the water.
So when you see somebody swimming,
when they turn their head, they're breathing.
Right, yeah.
And as they go back in, they're exhaling, breathing.
And then they get into a beat.
So for every two things they do with their arms,
they might pop their head up to the side.
But they don't pop it to flex their muscles.
It's all part of this motion.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
So it's all part of the motion.
When you see a really good swimmer,
when you see guys like you and me,
we go for air.
When you see a really good swimmer breathe,
it goes through the motion, through his arms.
He just pops it, right there, that motion.
He's inhaling.
And as he hits into the water,
you see bubbles coming out.
Right.
All of a sudden I'm fucking
SpongeBob SquarePants and shit.
Is that what happened to you at the store, do you think?
You hold your breath for too long?
No, I just walked up the stairs
and wasn't thinking and just
had negative thoughts in my mind
and they escalated to something else with the reef.
You know, when I go for a blood test,
if I don't feel that needle, everything's cool.
Once I feel the needle,
it sends a message to my brain
and my brain decides to do something with that message.
Either I control it,
or I let it grow out.
If I breathe normally and listen to the music
and dance while I'm getting the blood taken out,
everything's fucking primo.
Yeah.
But if I tense up from that thing,
once I tense up my breath,
now I'm catching my breath.
And now I'm thinking,
oh my God, I'm gonna faint.
Oh my God, I'm gonna faint
and I'm gonna fucking faint
because you're telling yourself
you're gonna fucking faint.
Right, that's what happens to me.
I have an issue when I get high around Paula
because she doesn't do it that often now anymore.
She doesn't want to do it no more.
She just can't because she has the DA.
Like, she can do it maybe sometimes,
but almost never.
But if I see her, I start to giggle sometimes.
And I was wondering,
do you ever get giggly on weed?
Like, do you ever sit at home?
All the time.
Monday when we ate the 500 milligrams,
I kept going home and thinking about calling you,
telling you,
are you ever having that Dave T-shirt guy?
Nope.
We're gonna put the fucking pressure
on him on Wednesday.
Oh, that was so terrible
and I was high out of my mind
and I don't like confrontation
and he was getting all these calls
and pizza sent to him
and I was like, he's gonna call the police.
We're gonna go to jail for harassment.
He can't do dick.
He can't do dick.
I can testify against Joey.
You forget about us, cocksucker.
Don't make me start the fucking regime
of 801 again tomorrow
because that's what we'll do.
We fucked this world up.
He was getting pizzas.
He got everything.
Fuck him, dawg.
He was a scumbag to us.
He was just a jerk.
He wasn't even polite.
He was just playing on fucking rude.
Oh, I know.
You tried to be nice.
I tried to be nice and what do you want me to do?
What the fuck I want you to do?
Make good on this shirt.
Boy, you can't do that to them.
What are you talking about?
Then why do business with you?
Right, yeah.
Then we're gonna fuck up your yelp.
So when all these fucking Uber drivers
call you and they get a T-shirt,
they know you're a fucking sack of shit,
we should just call them right now
on the fucking podcast
and tell them what we fucking think.
You wanna do it?
Fuck yeah.
Tell them.
This cocksucker, what's crackin' and shit.
We'll send the fucking cop.
I feel like going down there with the cops.
That's what we should do.
Now leave him alone
because I wanna talk about drug rips today.
We got my main man, Joey Felado, told us.
You know, when I told that story that day
on how I would set up a drug rip,
I got so many fucking emails.
Really?
Oh my god.
It was like people's minds were blown.
Like they had never heard.
They had never watched a TV show before.
Nothing like that.
It's crazy how for you it's totally normal
and it's, but for people like me
and I think a lot of the listeners,
just like at most, the most we ever did is buy weed
from some kid at the high school.
And I never even did that.
And you're talking about casing places
and it's just like whoa.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
You know, when you write the stories out,
that's when I really realized how fucking crazy I was
and how crazy the situation was.
You know, when Ari was telling me to get stories ready,
I wrote a story about Robin and a drug dealer
before I went to Colorado the first time
and just writing it on paper
almost gave me a nervous breakdown.
What was it about?
It was just a guy that my mother knew
and they would come up from Miami in those days
and get hotels in Union City
and you get two or three hotel rooms
and that's how you sell the coke
and you know, you go to the room
and then they take the money
and they call somebody and you know,
you would call from room to room to room.
Oh, okay.
So you had to put somebody with binoculars to watch
and see what room they came out of.
Jesus.
And then you had to put cars there
and anytime they moved out of that room,
that's when you wanted to attack
because when you have coke in the hotel,
you can't let maids in the room.
Right.
So you always have to have somebody in there
switching shifts, you know.
Would you ever ever look at an informant,
like a maid and you'd be like,
tell me when this is over?
I fucking wish I had that.
I never had that.
You never had that?
No.
Like an inside maid and they have them.
You know, for a fact that some maids will say,
but then again, the maids get in trouble
if somebody gets robbed.
Like in Boulder,
a guy had a fucking truck filled with weed one time
and I guess he took eight of the pounds
and put them under his bed and the maid found him,
called the cops on the guy.
That was really popular in Boulder.
When I went to jail in Boulder County,
like when they were holding me,
10%, 20% of the people were in there
because of hotel mistakes.
Jesus.
Just people going to a hotel,
cops come to the hotel at night
and do a background check on all the guests.
Really?
Some weird shit.
I've heard some weird shit.
Why not?
Yeah, fuck it.
You know, and they've done stupid shit.
They've done stupid shit like that.
You know, I've heard maids come back and smell weed.
I think I don't smoke in my fucking hotel rooms.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm not smoking in my fucking hotel room.
I don't care if people do it all the time.
It's like robbing a car.
Once they come in, you're guilty.
It's not the pot in your room.
Right.
That gives them the right to shit.
It saves my room.
What if I'm in Atlanta?
There's no fucking legal weed there.
Right, yeah.
Any of these things.
There's no legal weed.
I smoke a joint and I go for a fucking walk, man.
And nobody gets their feelings hurt, you know?
But you never know.
You give them, you know, I heard of people
with 20 pounds of coconut trunk
smoking a joint in that car.
Jesus.
You can pull it over.
They smell the weed.
I'm going to open up your fucking trunk.
You know, all these little things that cops look for,
anybody looks for.
These are just basic minor league mistakes.
Do you have more common sense,
or did you make these mistakes?
I watch people that make those mistakes.
Ah.
You force people to make those mistakes.
You force them into something they won't do.
Okay.
I watch that movie Focus on the Plane.
I watch two movies on the plane on the way to Atlanta.
The first one was that Sean Penn going to Beirut or something.
Horrid.
Him and the guy that won the Oscar for,
the one who's married to the chick,
I don't fucking know from that movie with,
who the fuck knows.
I'm not sure.
The Spanish dude.
Antonio Bender?
No.
The other dude that came after him that was in,
he's married to Penelope Cruz.
I'll look it up.
That fucking dude.
Real, real good looking dude.
So Sean Penn does a movie with him.
That movie was a fucking sleeping pill.
But then there was a movie called Focus or something
with the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and some hot little blonde shit.
Okay.
And the movie's all about scamming people.
About?
Javier Bardem.
Javier Bardem.
How to scam people.
And the main scam is this Chinese guy.
That's a professional gambler.
And they scam him at the Super Bowl.
Because him and her are betting numbers on the jersey.
Or who scores first.
What's he going to do next?
And they pull the scam.
Okay.
Where the guy goes,
I want to bet with you guys.
They gamble loud enough to suck the guy in.
And they just keep betting, betting, betting.
They get up to like four million dollars
and Will Smith is going to lose.
And the chick doesn't want him to lose
because it's money they scammed from all these.
It's when a big event happens in a town.
Right.
How a team of people come into that town, the pickpocket.
You know, that's why I hate those big events.
It's a suckers' paradise.
That's when maids give information.
That's when maids are like, fuck you.
Joey Diaz and this fucking other guy in this room.
I could smell the fucking coconut.
You know, I'm not stupid.
I see the alcohol.
I see the fucking residue on the fucking glass tables.
So this is what happens when there's a Super Bowl,
Indy 500, a big event comes to your town.
Not only does your town get infested with hookers,
but your town gets infested with small time crooks like I was.
Really?
Like there's like traveling crooks?
Traveling crooks.
No way.
And all they do is run games.
They fucking pickpocket you.
You know, and these people were very high tech.
They would pickpocket you, you know, use the cards,
take the cash, and then buy products with those cards
and put them on eBay.
That's brilliant.
That is fucking brilliant.
That's why you get great deals on eBay.
Oh, that's smart as fuck.
That's fucking smart as fuck.
People got a brand new computer for 300.
Remember when I told you?
I'd go to your house and say, what do you want?
I want a 500-dollar computer.
I'm gonna be back back in an hour.
I want 250 cash.
I'm not sure.
I can't prove it.
But I think there's someone in a post office around here
with a card scanner, because twice from Bank of America
I've got a credit card.
And before I even activated it, I get a call,
are you spending 500 Macy's this much here?
And it's just, it's...
There must be a ton of people doing it.
This area here, you're crazy to put your card in anything.
In anything.
Yeah.
Jesus.
Whether it's...
This is Russianville.
This is Russianville.
This is up here.
You go to Glendale, your card's gonna get stolen.
You go to Las Vegas, your card's gonna get stolen.
You know, there's people, you know,
they put that guy in that movie in that fucking thing.
They showed him taking a whole ATM machine out of the wall.
That was fake.
No way.
I worked in retail for like five or six years,
including restaurants and stores,
and I never really saw any of that.
So those waitresses, when they come to you and they say,
you want a drink?
Yeah, let me run a tab.
There's a guy sitting there with one of those machines,
and she goes up to him with the card,
he takes the card, swipes it, and when she walks back,
he puts your card on the table.
So they already got your fucking numbers.
That's when the waitresses are in on it.
Hell yeah.
But they got everything on camera,
seeing Las Vegas.
So once you call that in, if a bunch of them appear,
they're gonna look through the fucking film.
And those people who are looking for gambling people,
they see those type of scams too.
So it's tough to be a fucking criminal today.
It's gotta be.
Oh please, because everybody's got a camera.
Look at what happens in whatever with that pot store.
They had visible cameras.
The pot store that they broke into,
and the cops were eating the brownies.
Hell yeah.
Where the fucking cop department's still saying
that those guys weren't eating brownies.
But they're on tape, eating brownies.
And there's more tapes.
Jesus.
That's what they don't know.
There's more tapes in the back
when they were robbing their fucking pockets.
The people had cameras on the saves,
cameras on the floor saved.
They had cameras everywhere.
There's even more cameras.
So yeah, people, listen,
if I had fucking money in my house,
$200,000 and a half a kilo in my house,
I'd have cameras that you'd see.
And I'd have cameras that you wouldn't see.
That'd be the smart thing.
Yeah, you have to.
Let them take down the cameras and giggle.
We got this.
And you still got two more fucking cameras.
Point to that.
Your loot, point to that.
Your door.
Microphone.
Microphone.
If you got the money, you could have everything now.
You could watch your house while you're out of the house.
Can you not?
There's a red band.
Red band has something that...
They sell for like a hundred bucks now,
like a web nanny camera.
Even now they have like actual security cameras
that you can do it.
But it's...
Yeah, it's crazy.
Do you think now,
if you were to be born when I was born,
let's say,
and how many cameras and computers they have now,
do you think you still would have been in criminal
or do you think something else would have happened?
No, because everything you do,
they got you on a fucking tape.
I mean, you live on a fucking tape.
Right.
Whether I'm at the airport,
whether I get out of a cab,
but you know, when you go to the airport
and you park your car,
you don't think you're being watched.
I don't think...
Since you park your car, why wouldn't you?
I don't think I think...
I just don't think about it.
I know...
Yeah, if you're the NSA,
if you're who's ever watching airports,
I'm taking a bomb out of my fucking trunk
and put it in my luggage
or whatever the fuck I'm gonna do.
I'm watching that parking lot.
Yeah.
I'm watching a mile outside the parking lot.
As soon as I make that right
onto Century Boulevard,
I got a camera right there if I'm the NSA.
There's cameras everywhere though.
There could be a fucking truck.
I got to scratch my balls
and my balls were hanging out
because I ripped my pants
all the way down the middle.
I don't have a wardrobe date today.
As I was leaving,
I went to pour the iced tea
and Mercy put the lid on it
and then it's tightening.
So I went all over my shirt.
Then I got in the car
and my something got hooked
on the door hinge
and I ripped my pants
right across the middle.
But you know what I mean?
I didn't give a fuck.
I went to the bank.
I took out 50 bucks.
I went to the weed store.
Whipped my dick out.
Nobody caught it.
No underwear?
No underwear.
It's 88 degrees.
Does Mercy laugh
when you make mistakes like that
when you spill juice in your shirt?
She didn't see it.
She was in the other room.
Nobody saw it.
Just me like an asshole.
I used to love...
I used to...
I had a problem when I was young.
If I was uncomfortable with something,
like if something made me feel awkward,
I would laugh.
So if someone fell,
I would laugh.
So I didn't know if Mercy...
That's why I laugh at you
when you're fucking all stone drooling
like a momo over here.
So I'm going to have
Joey Felato call up.
I haven't had him in a while.
It's nice when we have people call up
to break up the monotony.
Wednesday is our 300 fucking episode.
That's crazy.
300 fucking episodes of a podcast.
Who the hell does this craziness?
Rogan's got 600, doesn't he?
Yeah, at least.
669 or some shit like that.
Yeah, that's who you were, yeah.
Six fucking hundred episodes.
I thought about afterwards.
600 fucking episodes.
What does Adam Carolla up to?
He must be up to like thousands.
Thousands.
Mark Marin, thousands.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
Someone said something.
I think it was Leon on Twitter said
the original churches were great
but chaotic.
And I haven't even listened to them,
but they must have been.
You remember when we used to do
football picks and they were all
always wrong?
Every pick we ever had was the losers.
We just gave up on it.
Well, when I started the podcast,
I wanted to have people on that I had
grown up with just to show the state
of mind that I grew up in.
So people knew where the fuck
I was coming from.
Right.
I thought it would simplify matters
until people listen and go,
this isn't for me or this is for me.
And we had some wild times on the
podcast.
We had some wild times in the fucking
apartment.
But if you listen to the podcast,
you can see how much you've grown.
We've grown as people.
We've grown as human beings.
Even the people that come up to me
now and go,
I've been there since Beauty and the
Beast.
Wow.
You wouldn't still be here if you
didn't hear something.
So I appreciate that you're still
fucking listening at the 300 Goddamn
episodes.
I mean, who else talks about drug
rips?
And I want to talk about this shit.
You know, that day when we were
talking about it,
my heart was beating.
Really?
Oh, just thinking about what it's
like to get up in the morning,
have no money in the bank.
A bank account was the farthest
thing from my mind.
If I didn't have it in my pocket
in those days, I didn't have it, Lee.
I would say to myself,
when are we going to open the bank
account?
I'm going to be in there two days
later, taking the money out.
There was no savings in my life
back then.
You lived by hustling, you know,
and that's what you wanted.
You wanted to bump into somebody.
I said, come here.
I'm selling some coke now.
The cocaine business in the early
80s, mid-80s, it's like the
podcasting business now.
Nobody really knows.
Nobody knows what's going to
happen.
Every day this fucking changes.
Now you got Periscope.
So when people, people that sold
coke didn't just start selling
coke.
They sold weed before the
cocaine.
Okay.
And they figured, why am I
selling two pounds of weed
when I can sell an ounce of
coke and make the same fucking
dope remit?
You're following me?
Instead of selling this much,
I'm going to sell this much.
So they had an idea, but also
nobody breaks into your house
for a pound of weed.
People will break into your
house for an ounce of coke.
People will set you up in weird
ways for four ounces of coke,
you know, the way the cop
sent you, you know, for a cop
to somebody's phone.
Oh yeah.
For a cop to really get you,
they have to make multiple
buys of two ounces or more.
Okay.
All right, two ounces is a
standard.
They're not going to bust you
the first two ounces.
Well, isn't that a lot?
Because didn't you usually buy
it by grams?
So if it's two ounces, that
seems like a lot to buy.
But how the cop sets you up.
Okay.
Is they buy a gram, a gram,
an eight ball, two ounces.
Oh.
Okay.
They come to you and they say
the coke you have is tremendous.
Now I want to buy two ounces.
Once they go for that 56 grand,
that's how they fucking get you
to roll.
Oh, okay.
You know, anybody can do a
fucking year for a gram of blow.
You know, it's distribution.
You were distributing.
You look at this fucking guy.
You got a DUI.
What do you do a week later?
You went into a rehab.
That's what you do when you get
out.
Oh, yeah.
He took a week.
He took a week too long.
So when you get busted for
selling the gram of coke,
and it's your first defense,
you could beat this with a good
background.
And if you do some work,
what do I mean by beat it?
You could do 60 days in a rehab
and three years probation.
They're going to test you,
but you're not going to go to
jail.
Right.
That's beating.
That's okay.
You know, if you sold, cops
aren't going to get you for a
gram because they don't.
A year, you could do it
standing on your head.
They're going to scare you and
say you should roll.
You don't fucking roll for a
gram.
They're going to get you to
roll for two ounces.
That's when you do six or seven
years.
Have you listened to the
podcast serial?
No.
I don't want.
I won't spoil it for anyone,
but it's about a guy who is
convicted of murder and they're
saying might not have done it.
And one of the things that is
talked about in the case is that
the main witness was coached,
might have been coached by the
police or like threatened like
we'll try to do with this
people we want.
Do you ever have any dealings
like that?
Like where they were like.
No, but if somebody, if a cop
wants to make a conviction, bad
enough, they'll do dumb shit.
Yeah.
You know what happened with
Hurricane Carter, the boxer.
And there's been thousands of
arrests where they're wrong
arrests, you know, but if a
cop really wants it.
Whether they're being pressured,
that could be it too.
I believe a lot of shit and I
don't believe a lot of shit
because I've done time.
Right.
And you've never been somebody
who's done time that's guilty.
Nobody's guilty.
Right.
They all get set up.
It was their uncle's fault.
Nobody ever is guilty.
Okay.
But the cops will fucking, you
know, they could darken something
up, man.
They could, they have all the
power.
They have all the fucking
power to darken something up.
If it really didn't happen,
eventually you'll beat it.
You know, all these guys are
getting out of jail now.
20 years later, 25 years later.
I mean, you can't get your life
back.
What you could do is sue them
for 20 million, get three, and
get your dick sucked for the
10 years you do have left in
this world.
You know, if you do 25 fucking
years, I can't imagine being in
prison wrongly.
But I could see it because
where there's smoke, there's
fire.
Right.
You know, listen, Lee, if you're
walking, if you're here with me
today for two hours.
Okay.
And a little Jew, shoot somebody
at Subway Sandwich on fucking
Slauro Canyon.
And 10 people say it's you.
And I say you're here with me.
Okay.
Right.
What do you think's going to
happen?
Probably 10 against one, right?
I mean, and now they're going
to break my credibility.
You know?
Yeah.
I mean, unless you're on
microphone and people are
watching you on Ustream and
you have a thousand people.
Well, that's the issue.
The trial was from 99 before
they had any of that shit.
Now, hopefully it's going to
happen a lot less.
But then it's crazy how that
happens.
I talked to Paul about that
because she wants to be a DA.
And she was kind of freaking out
about it.
Like how it's a lot of pressure
to maybe put someone in who's
not guilty.
Well, listen, after a few years
you see things for what they are.
You know, you have a radar and
we're all compassionate at first.
You're all very compassionate.
But once you've been a cop for
five, six years, once you've been
a DA for five, six years, and
you see the horrible things that
life really has to offer that
most individuals in this life do
not see it here.
And they probably get cynical.
Yeah.
We hear shit now because it's on
the Internet.
We hear about that Lady Light,
her baby on thawing, the
microwave oven.
You know, I mean, because it's
on the Internet and news is
national now, 20 years ago you
didn't hear all those things.
So cops dealt with it on a
fucking local level.
Right.
You know, it wears on a cop to
see that type of...
So once you get jaded or
what's the word you used?
Uh, I forget.
Cynical.
Yeah, you go.
Cynical.
You think to yourself that
everybody's guilty.
Right.
Everybody.
And you do this not just with
that.
We do this with when we're
editors.
We figure that every fucking
company is robinous.
Right.
When we're comedians, we're
always on the look for, you
know, you're always doing all
these things but watching
your back.
Right.
Whereas a cop, I mean, anybody
who comes in, there's always
a good cop back cop and there's
always one cop that sucks your
hand and the other cop's saying
you're a liar and you gotta,
you know, you gotta protect
yourself.
I mean, right now, God forbid
tonight something happens and
something happens that somebody
dies that's close to me.
Right.
And I was over there.
They're gonna fucking call me
in and they're gonna fucking
ring me, ring me and say,
you were there, listen to what
happened.
You got into an argument over
a podcast and you hit them in
the head with a fucking thing
of, uh, uh, alpha brain and,
you know, they paint the picture
and now you gotta fight
yourself out.
Right.
And if you say the wrong
thing, you're putting a fucking
cell, my friend.
So if you're putting a fucking
cell, here you are wrongly
accused or whatever the fuck
you get.
Right.
So you're putting a fucking
cell.
Right.
You're being accused or whatever
the fuck you got.
I mean, I could see it.
I've been, I'm very fortunate.
I've been scared half my life
because of that.
Right.
I've been wrongly accused for
something.
You could be driving, we could
be leaving the podcast tonight
at six o'clock at night,
making a U-turn, a cop will
pull us over and say, get out
of the car.
We just saw you at a bank
heist over on 66th and
Community Pole Avenue.
And there you are.
Right.
They're the fuck you are.
It's a weird call.
What?
We got a call.
Oh.
That's terrifying though.
What's up, my brother?
What's up, Coco?
What's going on, my man?
Not that long.
How you doing?
Long time.
Long time.
He's going to be in Vegas
with us in September.
My main man, Joey fucking
F. What's up, baby?
How's it going?
Oh, yeah.
Is that Lee Syat?
We got this.
That's Lee Syat.
It's been a long time
since you spoke to the flying.
Oh, baby, you're going to Vegas,
too?
The flying Jew always goes
to Vegas.
He's a staple.
It's like going to Vegas
in the 50s and not seeing
Dean Martin, man.
Oh, I can't week the
flying Jew.
And you don't know what?
The flying Jew.
He's up to 500 milligrams
on edibles.
He's shutting motherfuckers down.
Up to it doesn't really,
it doesn't really count
if you puke over your kitchen.
He fucking puke the tortellini
because it's wholesale tortellini.
I can't wait to meet you, Lee.
I can't wait to meet you, too, Joey.
What's going on, brother?
Hey, Coco, you know what?
I got to call up,
I got to call up on a landline
because I really can't hear you too good.
I will call you right back
on a landline.
Take your time, but hurry up.
All right.
All right.
Bye-bye.
No, being wrongly accused
has always scared the shit out of me.
You'll be leaving somewhere
at two in the morning
and somebody sees you,
a blue shirt,
you catch a beating,
they take you to fucking,
and half these people
that look at that guy and whatever,
that they was wrongly accused,
he was driving home,
they beat the fuck out of him.
And he got like 3 million
from the fucking city of Los Angeles.
Jesus.
The reason the city of Los Angeles
is broke
is because they pay out
all those lawsuits.
Oh, sure.
What's up, Joey?
Not much, baby.
For all those listeners out there,
Joey Begadonis is back.
Oh, shit.
Jumping Joe Filato.
Oh, shit.
Joey, about six weeks ago,
about six weeks ago,
we were here,
and I was talking to somebody
and we started getting into
the story about drug rips,
how in the 80s,
nobody really knew
what was going on
and people were pot dealers.
And then we came along
and it was like,
you know, I only done two of them
where we played cops
and that type of shit.
Everything else I did
was some guy who fucking beat us
on three quarters of a gram.
We got pissed.
We broke in his house
and robbed him for an ounce and a half.
Which to us in those days
was a million fucking dollars.
Sure, sure, definitely.
You know?
Yep.
Well, you know, in my career,
I did a lot of that shit.
I did something with a couple of guys
that you probably know
who's named Big Lou.
Okay, he's gonna call in later.
Oh, my God.
He was the man with that coax.
I mean, all we did is
we had this guy
in New York City.
We had this black guy
that was like a Patterson cop
and he would go around
and he just fucking
sit on like 179th Street
in Amsterdam and just look for people.
You know what I mean?
And all of a sudden we get a phone call.
It'll be me, Big Lou and Danny.
Those are the ones that would do it.
You know?
And we did it for a while.
We had teams, man.
We had teams.
Big Lou comes in, right?
Ask him about FOSCO.
There was this,
you know, on 178th
and St. Nicholas.
Right when you come off the bridge.
You make that right turn.
Before the bridge.
Right there.
Afterward.
Right there.
After the bridge.
Right there.
It's a 34th precinct.
And we took this guy one time, man.
We got in a van.
We drew him in a van.
We locked him up.
We handcuffed him
and we drove him around
for like two hours
trying to beat the shit out of him.
Beating him up,
trying to get his keys to his house.
He wouldn't give us the keys finally.
He gave us the keys to his house.
We go into his house
and he got nothing there.
So Big Lou tells him,
listen,
and I don't know if you ever met Big Lou.
Big Lou was six foot six,
three hundred pounds.
He's very, very scary.
Big Lou told him,
say, listen, man,
you know, we're not the cops.
So it's either you,
money or your body.
What he said.
The guy all of a sudden
made a phone call.
We were standing close
right out on 178th.
Right out in front of the police station.
He makes a phone call to this guy.
Now it's me, Lou,
and this guy FOSCO.
I got a nine millimeter in my bag,
in my pocket,
and Lou's got a badge on
with a shirt over and a hat.
So now he digs first.
He goes, we were cops.
So all of a sudden this guy pulled up
and all of a sudden he starts saying
something in Spanish,
something in Spanish.
So all of a sudden FOSCO gets in the car.
The other guy gets out of the car.
He goes, hold on one second.
I'll be right back.
Now we got this guy
holding a paransum.
You know,
so we're talking all of a sudden,
20 minutes later,
he comes back with a,
with a bag,
a brown bag
with 10,000 in cash.
And a kilo.
And he gives it to us.
All of a sudden we let the guy go.
We jump in one of those gypsy cabs
and boom,
we go right over to the,
right over to his house in Palisade Park.
That was a great score of us, man.
Oh my God.
There's so many of them
I could tell you about.
How old,
how old were you Joey?
Was this like high school?
Heard me.
Was this like high school or later?
Well,
this is a little bit later later.
This is probably about
when I was 20, 21 years old.
You know,
that was my,
that was our job.
That was our job.
You know, I mean,
and we would just live by score by score.
You know, I mean,
we had one time we were,
we had no money and all of a sudden,
Danny was like,
well,
I can do somebody out in California
who's got a lot of weed.
We're like, okay,
let's do it.
So all of a sudden we start
planning this caper
and we go to loose house
and we're figuring out things
and loose father,
loose father was a career criminal too.
He's like,
you guys are fucking great.
How are you going to get
the hardware on the plane
and the hardware meeting the guns
and stuff like that.
So we were like,
we don't know.
So all of a sudden we go
out to California
and we're going to meet,
can I say his name,
Jamo?
I can say that.
You already said it's over.
You know, we meet him.
All of a sudden,
we meet him one day,
Danny goes meet him.
We come back the next day.
We go to a,
like a gun store
and we get pellet guns,
Coco.
We get pellet guns.
All of a sudden now we go
get $2,000 in cash
and we put it all in singles
and we put $100 build on the outside.
So it looks like
we got a lot of money.
Danny calls up Jamo.
He meets us at the hotel.
Now,
Danny is setting up Jamo.
So all of a sudden,
he comes into the hotel.
I'm standing in the closet
and you have no events
in the closet.
You can see out the door
and lose on,
lose on the balcony.
All of a sudden he comes
walking through the door.
I jump out with my pellet gun,
but I have it up in the air
because I don't want him
to see the front of it
because the hole was small.
All of a sudden I said,
freeze, you're under arrest.
All of a sudden,
Lou came off the balcony,
grabbed him,
threw Danny and the other guy
on the floor and I'm like,
oh my God, there it is, Lou.
I opened up the bed.
It was 62 pounds of weed
in one big giant,
like two bags he had.
We grabbed them,
we handcuffed them to the sink.
We do the keys there
and we left them both there
and we just bolted out of there.
Some of the shit we did
with Lou was fucking crazy, man.
Crazy,
with that big guy.
Oh my God,
I remember handcuffing a guy
and I was never so scared
of getting my life joyful out of him.
By the time I handcuffed Bella,
I was pretty sure.
Excuse me?
By the time I handcuffed
the guy I went to jail
for kidnapping,
I wasn't scared.
Yeah.
But before that,
I had handcuffed two guys
and I was shitting
my fucking pants off.
Oh man,
I mean, it's all we did.
It's all we did for like
maybe five years straight.
We would just,
you know, live score to score.
So all of a sudden,
you know, it would run out.
All of a sudden, boom,
we'd wait for a phone call
from this guy Al
and all of a sudden,
every couple of months,
we would go over there
and take down the drug dealers.
You know,
I know a couple of guys had a,
like you remember,
he went to jail.
His name is Dave,
forgot his last name.
Yeah.
He went to jail
for killing somebody.
They kidnapped him.
They stuck staples
in his head.
They killed him.
Him and Anthony Castelli.
You know,
they all had their own teams
and stuff.
But thank God,
I never got caught.
You know,
Lou did a lot of them.
Lou had a really big one.
One time, man.
He could tell you something
that unbelievable.
That's how I met him though,
you know,
doing that kind of stuff.
You know,
he was a professional boxer too, Lou.
Wait till you tell you some
little stories.
You know,
you,
how you graduate in 85,
I graduated too
when I was always a year old.
When my mother died in 80,
my mother had,
my mother was in that world.
They were coming to the house
that the first time
I did blow with lubes,
I stole it from 10 kilos
that were in my basement.
I didn't even know what they were worth.
And I would just take coke
and give it to my friends.
I didn't know what the fuck it was.
Yeah.
But after my mom died,
I kept in contact with those people.
And these people were serious fucking Cubans.
And they would come up from Miami,
call me and say they're in town.
They want to see me
for me to give them money.
And then they'd introduce me
to their friend in Union City.
And I'd 9 out of 10,
I'd rob that guy.
And in those days,
I was climbing roofs.
I was doing the sickest shit.
I mean, it was natural for me, Joey.
Oh, it was natural.
I remember.
I remember Rago used to tell me
all the shit you would do.
Oh, my God.
He was the only guy I was honest with.
I mean, I was a piece of shit.
But if you, if you fuck,
Joey, in those days,
if you fucked with me in North Bergen,
and there was a lot of people in those days
that thought they were cute.
And I was down
and they fucking like, you know,
I could give you five names of people
that thought they were cute with me.
And at the end of the day,
I fucking clipped them.
And they knew I did it.
And they couldn't do a fucking thing about it.
And it was so funny.
And then I realized
I could clip people all around.
And I was catching people sleeping.
Oh, yeah.
I caught something.
We did, we did.
We did often for years.
I didn't work for years.
That's all we did.
You know, because in New York City,
Jersey, it's so easy.
You go right across the bridge
and then we had this black guy
when you asked Lou about Al.
He was black.
He was a partisan cop.
So it was actually so great.
He used to stand right on the corner
and he could stand with these, you know,
those Des Moines and all the Dominicans
and stuff like that over there.
You know, and he wouldn't even know
he was there.
All of a sudden, a couple of days later,
we get a phone call.
All right, it's on.
Meet me over here in 160th
and St. Nicholas.
All right, here we go.
We're going to work, you know.
It was crazy at that time, though.
And then one time we almost got
the FBI fucking called us.
And Louie got caught with the FBI
and all of a sudden this and that.
Oh, my God.
It was a big fucking ordeal.
I had to go in front of the FBI.
100 content Street.
Jack Campanella, his name was.
Oh, my God.
I'll never forget that.
Fuck, man.
I must have robbed 200 dog drug dealers,
Joey.
And I don't, there's so many that
just did little fuck ups.
Like when I went to Colorado,
I took my New Jersey technology mind.
I was a New Jersey criminal
in North Bergen where people see you
coming a mile away.
You understand?
I grew up in a society.
They'll see you in Colorado.
They'll see you in Colorado.
In New Jersey, they see their setup.
They're like, why has this kid been coming over here
too much?
They know.
Used to buy grams.
Now he's buying eight balls.
Where's he getting the money from?
People have ears.
So I went from fucking New Jersey
where they saw you coming
with Colorado where they didn't even suspect it.
And I was shoving the lights out.
I was shoving snow.
You know what I was doing, Joey?
I knew drug dealers had coconuts.
Let's say I go in and they have four ounces.
I take two eight balls.
And I kept them on a string.
And then I kept them on a string.
And then what I would do is when I get ready to rob them,
I wait till they get a big ship
and then I fucking take them down.
But for a month, I'd take them for an eight ball a day.
Like nothing.
They'd be skiing.
Who the fuck skis?
That would be good money back then.
Yeah.
But this is what I tell people.
I was talking about Pyroscope this morning
with this fucking comic con.
You know, we got fucking ISIS cutting people's heads off.
And here in San Diego dressed up like Batman,
like a jerk off.
You know what I'm saying?
Like a fucking jerk off that you are
at these fucking momos.
Ah, Star Trek.
Look at me.
Like a fucking, but meanwhile,
those are the people I pray on.
Those fucking jerk off.
Because they're too busy.
Listen, drug dealers don't do that.
You know what drug dealers do?
They sell drugs.
They don't watch TV.
They're drug dealers.
They're the best people to rob.
They can't go to the cops.
They can't go to the cops.
They can't go to the cops.
They're old.
You know what I'm saying?
They can't go to the cops.
When a drug dealer would tell me
he was going to Disneyland
or going skiing.
And I'd ask him,
how many times do you ski?
I ski every week on Wednesdays.
Wingo.
This motherfucker's going down
eventually.
On Wednesdays, eh?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And they tell you,
I go skiing on Wednesday
if you party out really.
Even as a criminal,
you didn't take vacations?
Criminals don't.
Listen,
if I went on a vacation,
I robbed people.
Listen, San Francisco,
I caused so much havoc
in a hotel in San Francisco,
because I used to steal it.
I used to rob the maid's keys.
The maids in those days
would leave the keys in the door
and they'd clean.
So I'd watch them
and I'd take the fucking key.
And it was over after that.
I had two or three days.
There was a bookmaker
I robbed in San Francisco
in the hotel.
He couldn't figure out
who was robbing.
He'd come to me
and go,
somebody keep fucking robbing me.
He was one of those dollar guys
that sold those tickets.
Yeah, yeah.
He'd have turned it off.
I'd take every fucking single
plus all the slips from him
and fuck his world up.
He'd be sitting there
in the lobby going,
somebody fucking rob me again
in the building
that fucking spic maid.
And it was me the whole time.
I'd be fucking buried.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I could see a drug dealer
a mile away.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's how it was over
by us.
You know,
everybody had their own teams
and we were doing it
from like maybe 88 to 92.
Easy.
Every fucking week
doing it.
Danny knows a lot too.
It was me, Danny and Louis.
That was the team.
We had the guy out.
You guys got so good
you started robbing each other.
Yes.
You motherfuckers started
robbing each other.
You took,
you made Russo and Kurt
go down to Florida.
These guys started robbing
each other.
One of the greatest quotes
I ever heard in my life
was July
or something of 99.
I took Darren to breakfast
and in the middle of his food
I looked at him
and I go,
you still get into fights.
He goes,
there's nobody left to fight.
I got to fight my friends now.
He goes,
I got nobody left to fight.
I got to fight my friends.
That's how I got with these guys.
They had nobody left to rob.
So they started robbing each other.
So it was these two clicks
of North Bergen.
First they started together
Russo and this Danny
beyond cooler.
They were the fucking hottest
drug teams
since fucking Aberdeen Costello.
They were buying trucks.
Yeah, they were.
Look, you think I'm kidding you.
They were moving.
They were like,
they were like,
oh my god.
Crocket and tubs.
Oh my god.
Every time I went back
to bring them guns,
they had fucking trucks
and ski jeets.
What are those things
you ski with?
Jets.
Jetski.
Jetski.
Tommy had all the toys.
All the toys
and the motorcycles.
These guys were making
big money.
Then one time I heard
they're broken up.
Tommy tried to rob
the other guy.
Then they went out
war for each other.
Then they even got,
they couldn't get caught.
One went to Miami.
Who'd they rob?
They robbed Kurt.
Kurt in Miami, right?
They robbed Kurt
in Miami.
Who the fuck,
they went all the way down
and they got robbed.
Two sets of money.
Look at Danny.
Danny, we robbed his cousins.
We robbed his cousin,
fucking like 60 something
pounds of weed we had to take.
Then it was funny.
We got it.
Then also we had to
drive it all the way down
to Los Angeles.
We were someplace
in Diamond Bar, California.
Also, we had to
drive up to Los Angeles.
Then we had to
ship it back in the mail
and we shipped it
to some place in
Paterson.
Oh my God.
It was,
but Jamie was calling Danny
for months,
for months because
he knew he set him up.
He knew he set him up.
We were so down
and out we had
a robber's cousin.
That's what we had to do.
Oh man.
That was the time.
Thank God I'm
on the lam though now.
Now I'm hiding
out.
Nobody knows where I am.
Listen man,
every month I
get a nervous breakdown.
I do a
podcast with Lee.
I got to tell you,
Joey, I do a
podcast with Lee
and I eat an edible
and for some reason
I go home
and I smoke some pot
and I make some coffee
and my fucking
mind starts to race
at 11.30.
Oh yeah.
I can't lie to you,
Joey.
Sometimes I get tears
in my eyes
and I say,
I can't believe
that situation
or going to
West New York.
Oh my God, yeah.
I went to West New York
one night.
Wait till we tell,
wait till I see Lee.
The situation,
Lee, that we lived in,
man, it's like,
you guys live in
Disney World
compared to
if you know that.
Something North Virgin
was on an Indian
burial ground or something.
I remember one night,
Dave Black,
Dave Black's sister
was fucking
a Colombian drug dealer,
the hot one.
She was just
giving them pussy for coke.
Giving them,
and Dave knew it.
Yeah.
She knows it.
She just goes with it,
gives them pussy,
throws like an ounce of
blood once a week.
And we went over there
and robbed him
while he was fucking
the sister.
That's how cold
blooded we were.
With guns
and the whole thing.
Wow.
And the sister
was on all fours
sucking his day.
I mean,
it was horrible.
We're robbing the guy
and she's sucking his day.
You can't
write this shit.
Do you at least
save some for her?
No.
You cannot
write this shit.
No way.
Thank God,
whoever the fuck was
driving kept the car running.
I mean,
it was just this is shit
that I sit there sometimes.
That's the way
of life over by us.
You know,
that was it.
I mean,
you go right into Manhattan,
I mean,
go to Washington,
rob somebody and just
get out of there.
We do it on a Friday night.
All of a sudden, boom,
you need some money.
You go make a score,
come back and we
went to quintessence.
The one I did,
the one I did in 93
was with your cousin.
God bless his soul.
Didn't you guys
rob the gas station
with the water guns?
And then we robbed,
we robbed all the
stereos from Sears,
the car stereos,
every fucking
blah,
punk they had.
Did you put the one
in the
for their
for their
senior prom?
You robbed the Alpine.
You put it in
Rousseau's car before that.
I've never forget it.
You came out of the
fucking,
what was it?
I did two guys
down there,
or Kmart.
You had the Alpine
in the box with the speakers
and everything.
That's how you started the day.
We need cash.
How are we going to
make some cash?
And we walk in a store
like a team,
and each of us would get one.
So that's three,
$200 stereos.
We're going to get 300.
That's an eight ball.
That's $250
and $10 a piece.
How did you get the
back in 1982?
It was a lot of money.
That was a lot of money.
A lot of money.
A ball was $250
on a hundred and thirty
fifth in Amsterdam.
Our goal was to
go over there every day
for an eight ball.
So you had to come up
with 250,
250 quick,
quickly.
Some days I get a call
from somebody going dog.
You got a two kit
for sale.
I heard.
How did you turn the stereo
into money?
It's a car stereo.
Lee, I come to your house
and I go, Lee,
not for nothing.
I sat in your Volkswagen
the other day
and the stereo sounded like
shit.
I got a blob punk for sale.
It's 300 new.
Give me 150 cash.
And you say,
fuck yeah,
for 300.
All those speakers,
we used to get the speed.
That's how you got your day
started.
So now that 250
for the eight ball,
that was an investment.
You took that 250,
you threw a gram on that.
Now you sold three of those
and you got 300,
plus you got a half gram
for me and Joey.
And we ran from there.
And then there was
some guy who wanted an eight
ball.
So now we take an eight ball,
take a gram and a half out,
throw a gram and a half
of cut in that motherfucker
and give that to him.
We just made a gram
and a half of pure.
Now we got a gram
and a half of pure.
We're going to throw
another half on it
and get 200 out of.
So you know what?
In a day,
we each ended up with 150 cash
and we got to snort an eight
ball.
That was your goal.
That was our mentality.
And Rago loved that.
Rago loved doing that shit.
He loved it.
He loved it.
I remember one time
me and him robbed
this fucking dude
that was a cunt
and he thought he was cute
and went to his house
and he had checks
and in those days
our boy, the Williams
was at the fucking bank
and I used to steal
the checks
and bring him right to the
bank.
Bam!
They could have Jesus
Christ on a crutch
on those motherfuckers.
He cashed him right.
And my boy was
fucking cashed.
He was down with that
car lot down there.
Fuck yeah,
the car lot,
the bank.
I remember when
we were at the bank
on 70th Street
while the checks
didn't cash
your next door
Gilberto was getting
a Cuban sandwich
and a batito.
Damn my man.
Are you fucking
getting me or what, dog?
Your whole day
surrounded around
making money for food
but the payoff
was drugs
and we keep investing
the money.
So every time you went
every time you went
to the city
you went with
somebody else's
money.
How much
were the drugs
worth that
you snorted throughout
the day?
Every time
doesn't seem worth it.
What do you mean?
We're not going to check.
It wasn't going to jail
it was just
the excitement of
dropping the 150
in the A-ball.
I remember talking
to your cousin one night.
I had gone
to buy drugs
downtown in
Northburg
and some guy set up
he was a cowboy
right next to
by Kathy Moran.
Do you know that block
we were just talking about
when Mike Debbie lived
in the rails?
Some white kids
some white kids
some white kids
started selling coke
and I remember that
I went down there
on a Tuesday with somebody
and bought the coke
and on the way
I said that's interesting
that window
I could climb in
that fucking window
and as I was talking
to the guy
he was telling me
that he had a day job
he gets home at five
this is the best coke
he was getting from Cubans
this is 1981 Joey
I'll never forget it.
What a mistake
that was
he had a day job
and I was in the bar
with your cousin
on Thursday night
just talking to Darren
he had the ice box
and just other Cubans
you had the ice box
you remember that ice box?
I said Darren do me a favor
pick me up at nine
we're going to rob this
I was lying to him
guys I swear to my mother
I was lying to him
I had nowhere to rob
I was just getting him
to pick me up
because we were going to rob somebody
and I'll never forget it
I was sleeping on Runny's floor
in those days
I used to sleep on Runny's floor
there were my adopted family
and he knocked on the glass
go go get up
let's go make some money
and I went upstairs
brushed my teeth
washed my face
took a quick shower
ran outside
and this guy's stated
that's how we lived
Lee
it was a Friday morning
all week was bullshit
Monday through Thursday was bullshit
I could always borrow a 20 from Lee
and a 20 from Joey
I could always put it together
but Friday it was D-Day
everybody wants their money
plus you got to have your money
you want to get your dicks up
you want to do blow
you want to eat quailudes
you got to pay for the pipe
everybody was doing this shit
so what did I do?
I tell your cousin
let's go down to this guy
we went down by giving that terrace
when I grew up
I parked
and I basically walked
like I
it's like I thought
I never forgot
like I get goosebumps
and I
ah my god just thinking about that shit right
I rang his doorbell
I rang his doorbell
like I may believe
like I didn't know
that he was working
nobody answered
I went around
I opened that window
like I told you guys
it was wide open
it was the window
because in those days
you had a door
that went to your door way
your door was open
I climbed to the window
he left his door open
a fucking drug deal
and I ran in
I opened up
there was nothing
nothing
I went in the room where he gate
we walked out
and sure enough
there's a bag of blow in there
that had been cut
and one that had been cut
I took it
and on the way out
I saw you know those German flasks
yeah for beer
for beer
the big flasks
oh yeah
the big giant flasks
those Steins
you know at those days
I was a thief guys
I was a thief
I was a thief
so a thief knows
where people hide shit
and for some reason
yeah
all he had was blow at the house
I wanted his drawers
all he had was blow
and as I'm walking out
something made me catch
that German thing
with the thing that you pop
and it goes back
yeah
yeah yeah
it's a Steins
it's called the Steins I think
I went over to it
I took that thing out
and there was eight hundred
dollar bills
right now everybody's like
home going Joey
eight hundred dollars
you're a fucking petty thief
yes I was
but eight hundred dollars
in 1982
was 2400 dollars
that was huge
that was huge
I remember giving you
your fucking cousin
four hundred
he was crying
like in those days
your cousin had no money
he lived it all
four hundred at the midtown
back then
that was huge
Darren's mother
had gotten divorced
Darren didn't have a dad
you know Darren
lived with John
and his mother
they didn't have any money
for Darren to have ten dollars
was a lot
I gave him four hundred
dollars
and I gave him half of
that bag of blow
we fucking went out
but that was how it was
like by twelve o'clock
our day was done
we had blow
we had everything
set for the weekend
and it got from that
that now we wanted more
everybody wanted
the kilo guy
everybody wanted
to break into somebody's house
and find four kilos
everybody wanted
the big score
fucking jewelry
you know I only
I got a couple of
Louis but Louis got
a couple of big ones without me
he got a
he got a couple of ten kilo
one time
let him tell his story
about the
ask him about the story
about him and Al
were following a guy
and all of a sudden
the guy made a wrong turn
up onto the bridge
all of a sudden
they were behind him
the guy got nervous
he jumped out of the car
left it running on the bridge
Louis jumped in the car
and went bang
went into New Jersey
he went back in the trunk
there was ten kilos
in the trunk
ten kilos
ask him about it
well the same story
that will mean your cousin
when the guy pulled over
on the west side
jumped out
he jumped out
and fucking
he was so nervous
cause they were
and this guy Al
used to have
like a
a power
like a square
the guy made a wrong turn
went up on the bridge
put it in park
and jumped over to
railing
and jumped
and went on to
Henry Hudson Parkway
and took off
and Louis got into the car
jumped in
went right into the
policy park
got ten kilos
I was sick
I wasn't there that day
I was sick
the one time
I got the big score in 93
that's when the guy pulled over
he didn't pull over on the bridge
he pulled over on
Henry Hudson
on the highway
going downtown
sure
he was going downtown
we stopped him
he stopped himself
like by 135
and we noticed him
we went and made a U-turn
and he was out of the
fucking car already
he was out of the car
those days
they were trained
just to run
you know
I didn't go with him
I don't know why
I didn't go with him that day
I had something to do all of a sudden
they told me about it
I was fucking
I was sick
missing the score like that
back then
that was a lot of money
you remember Tommy had that
that one
Spanish kid in New York
in New York
that he got rid of all the stuff
so much his name
Alex I think
his name was
Alex
and I was like
oh my god
they were selling him
for like maybe 15,000
20,000 the key
back then real quick
real quick
it was amazing
how everybody was
going to get robbed
at one point
like everybody I did business with
I knew I was going to rob them
hello
at one point
yeah I can
did you ever get robbed
doing
that's a drug dealer
who
me
I did
I got robbed one time
what happened
did you got robbed
no
but they clipped me for seven grams
nothing
nothing
significant
nothing like that
and I wrote it off to
you know me dog
you know a thief knows
that things are going to go down
if you keep doing it
of course
they're going to go against you
you know
listen man
I robbed a lot of blow
I should be shot
and hung
for all the blow
I robbed
and snorted
if I would have been smart
I would have fucking sold it
I didn't sell
oh man
a lick of it
that's what we did
we were trying to sell it
and do it at the time
back then
you know what I mean
four or five guys that were on a team
and we got
got some small ones
big ones
once in a while
but nothing that was life changing
that we always thought
you know
hundred keys
hundred pounds of weed
never got that
you know
but it was fun at the time
while it lasted
he's going to call in
I didn't go to jail
no
every fucking time I talk to you
man
I get sentimental
I think about your cousin
I think about
oh man
and even lubes
lubes we used to get
college kids
oh my god
we'd sell them coke
and then rob the coke back
that's a pretty different fucking episode
I love you Joey
he's going to call in
hey I love you
Lee
Lee I'm going to call back
but I'm going to see you in Vegas baby
all right
all right I'm definitely going to call back
coke
thank you so much
I love you guys
I'm going to eat five on the other bowls
five on the
milligrams of peace that night
me you
Lee and your wife
and I'm going to go kill
a fucking strawberry shortcake
at the sports book
I love it
I love it
science
science
love you guys
all right buddy
thank you
bye bye
it makes me shit my pants
I used to do
I don't fuck around
when I tell people that
sometimes I feel so weird
sitting in a room with Lee
because I don't know
if Lee really knew
like if you could look at
a film of my life
from 80 to 85
if anybody would even listen to me
it was such a fucking
horrible education
I'm happy I did it
it made me
the man I am today
Lee this is some scary shit
and then I went to prison
and then I still dabbled
to 94 and robbing
and I would only take
calculated risks
I always knew
you know getting locked up
makes you a better criminal
because you learn different things
and I did
but I knew that
if I would have kept on bro
and bolder they were going to nail me again
it was just a matter of time
so I'm very
do you have the urge now
to never
to go rob somebody
never Lee
never Lee
because it seemed like
you were getting like
super like
like you missed it
not missed it
but like it like
sometimes when you talk
to give people a good story
you got to go there
yeah
and when I go there
my heart beats
and I get chills
and I feel shitty about myself
but I like talking about it
because it doesn't make me
feel shitty about myself
once I talk about it
once I write it out
that's when I feel really bad
about myself the things
I did like that
but listen man like I said
it wasn't like
I was going up to guys like you
these people dabbled in drugs
I dabbled in drugs
everybody knows the fucking cost
when you're dabbling in fucking drugs man
everybody knows
and if you don't know
how is your fucking schooling
you know
how is your fucking schooling
so what happened when they got you
no it wasn't like that
I got robbed out of a hotel
room one time like that
nothing no no sit down
no no no
oh okay
no
nothing that exciting
no you just learn
you learn the steps Lee
you know you learn
what to look for
what not to look for
I know who's coming with bad intentions
I know who doesn't have cash
you know
you just learn
you just learn these little fucking things Lee
that's fucked up
but you know
I did my time
I paid my dues
I think after I got out of prison
I think I did maybe three or four
drug rips after that
I never fucked around with it again
man
and I'm very happy I didn't you know
I was telling these guys
I think it's time to carry a weapon
things are getting bad
you know there's a lot of
you know last week in San Francisco
it was the shooting
that they still have flowers out on the pier
anything did you go down there
yeah I didn't see anything
but do you mean like you want to carry
like a pistol at all times
do you think that's what I want to do
I do not want to carry a pistol
but if
you know
random acts
the chick got shot in Hollywood
the chick got shot in San Francisco
last week
you know
this could be one of us
this could be a
podcast listener
this could be
anybody man
I get scared Lee
without the fucking edibles
I get fucking petrified
it does seem to be happening a lot
but yeah
and for us to be
walking around with
not leaving a piece
you're at a park with your daughter
somebody does something
I don't want to shoot nobody Lee
but protecting yourself
and shooting somebody
is two different fucking worlds man
knowing you have the ability
to protect yourself
knowing
you know I'm not confident
in my fucking
I'm no fighter
I can't fly through the air
I'm not fucking Johnny Hick
what's his name
John Wick
you know I'm not gonna throw
people through the fucking air
but you know
sometimes I get scared man
it's just a natural reaction
yeah but
I have a wife and a daughter now
just to play like devil's advocate
wouldn't you also be then scared
like
if a lot of people had guns
around your wife and daughter
like that's
like that's the only thing that scares me is
if everyone's gonna start
having fucking guns
Lee
I don't want to take anyone's guns away
you tell me the truth as a man
you're an educated guy
with what you're reading the papers
and what you hear
you don't want some type of protection
in your car
or in your apartment
you're there with Paula
somebody breaks in
they want to do something
you're telling me I got the money
you put two fucking holes in
I mean what if
what if Lee
you know what man
things could happen
I don't advocate guns
I've told you for 20 years
that they're the worst luck for me
see that's what I was gonna say
like we were talking about it earlier
I don't know if
I've always heard that
guns attract guns
and yeah it does get fucking scary
and more so I think probably
when you have kids
cause I was thinking like
how can you send your kid
to a public school now
and not be a little bit worried
but I
I try to keep low key
and I guess I don't
I don't really think I want to
that's a man
God has a plan
or at least that's what they fucking tell you
Buddha the Jew God
Hindu
they all have a plan
and we all have an expiration date
yeah
you know we all have
and horrible things happen in this life
you know
and that's why I get bad thoughts
just like everybody else man
and you pray
and you fall asleep
or whatever the fuck it is
I do get more protective
like if I'm with Paula
sure you do
like that
you love her
yeah so like
I can see
before mercy
what do you thought about
wanting a gun
with just you and Terry
I mentioned at the Terry a few times
we live in an area that
we're just three blocks away from life brother
yeah
we're a couple blocks away from life
and sometimes bad life goes into good life
and there's nothing you could fucking do
there's nothing you could do
but you know what man
if you got robbed
and you didn't have protection
and you got robbed
and you did have protection
how would you feel
how would you feel
I mean Lee I don't want you just
I'm not gonna give you a gun
and you take it home and put it on your pillow
I mean that once a week
you go with the Agostino
and go to the ranch
and shoot
and get comfortable with the gun
and you get pretty good at it
and you clean it
every three days
or doesn't jam up on you
and you're not a bad guy
you've never had a bad intention in your heart
but what if Lee
what if we're at the comedy store one night
you've been thinking that
we're at the comedy store
and shoot out in Seuss
and I'm there with you
and I gotta cover you
and I got no fucking gun
what would you do
what would you feel like that
you didn't have you know
just a little situation
I'm not saying I'm gonna go buy a gun
tomorrow morning Lee say that
what I'm saying is that
I don't know
I get these thoughts from time to time
just like every fucking American does
just like every fucking American does
every Canadian does
you know at one time
something happens
and it hits close to home
if you wake up tomorrow morning
at eight in the morning
and somebody got robbed
on Laurel Canyon
and been through
how would you feel
that they were going to eat at 9.15 at night
that could be you and Paul
yeah they totally could
okay so
you know and
Red Band got robbed gun
I know
in Burbank California
the home of Disney
where Disney pays for undercover cops
and helicopters
and fucking cameras on every block
a black wizard came
a black wizard came
and robbed them
you know
now I'm not saying you pull the gun on
you play Charles Bronson in Death Wish
yeah
but I'm saying that
at least that fear
you know what it feels like to get robbed
do you have any idea
when something goes down
two blocks from you
and you're seeing a gun fight
what your heart happens to your heart
no
and how fear takes over
it's a horrible fucking feeling
but I know
if I got a fucking gun in my strap
and that motherfucker comes
ten feet close to me on my door
I know I'm gonna fucking unload that thing
and I'm gonna catch with one bullet
I'm gonna tell my daughter and wife
to fucking run
in Spanish
so
the guy don't hate me
you follow me
I mean listen I'm just talking nonsense with you
I lived in Israel for six months
and
their solution to it
is
there's a lot more
there's like
military everywhere
and I know people are getting upset
like there's too much police
everywhere and stuff like that
so
I don't think they would go over here
but would that be
like another solution
the cops and that girl got shot in Hollywood
what girl
they just got shot last week
oh yeah
with a comedian's girlfriend
where were the cops
when that guy
shot that girl
they're getting a
bunch of steam right now
in San Francisco with us
right we got a haul
go ahead
Lou
what's up
oh my god we just got off the phone
with Joey Felado
Jesus fucking Christ
how you doing Lou
I was doing alright
buddy what about you
good did we ever cross paths
excuse me
did we ever cross
cross paths
do I remember you from
no I don't think so Joe
I left
I left
New Jersey
in July of 85
this last week was my 30th
anniversary
and by that time
you guys
85 hours
85 hours and they can't
okay
yeah so I didn't
you were more friends with Darren
and
Joey and
I was more friends with Joey
with Joey
Joey and David
Joey and I
and I thought Danny and
cause Danny
Danny owe the book
make the money
and the guy sent me over here
to talk to
I said a few guys
you guys are nice guys
you want me to
look why don't you
come with me on a few things
and you'll be able to
make the money
give this guy his money
and get back on your feet
and they said alright let's go
and the rest is fucking history
yeah it's the
you know we were so crazy
at that age
with the blow
and the fucking this
and the that that
oh my god it was fucking
it feels like we had a license
to do it
I mean it was crazy
we didn't care
we used to call it
Spender Tuesday
for some reason
I had a
my father
introduced me to this
DEA agent
and this guy
was actually
giving us the scores
he was bringing us scores
and we were doing him in there
and it always happened
on a Tuesday
for some reason
he would call me Monday night
and say
get your boys
meet me over here
and we'd go
he'd give us
search warrants
he'd hook us up with
bulletproof vests
that said
DEA on the front
patch
we told us to wear
jeans and a T-shirt
and white sneakers
we looked like the
DEA
I used to walk in there
and I spoke a little Spanish
so
I was able to
you know get over
and the people were
flipping out
they couldn't believe it
I tried a lot
I said
I don't want you to
talk about it
I said
I'm going to kill you
they were flipping out
when did you grow up at?
it's Patterson and Wayne
Jesus Christ
Patterson and Wayne
I used to have
I went out with a girl
from North Bergen
that's how I met Joey
oh my god
you know you think back
of
I was telling
the podcast
on Lee
how there's nights
you know
I smoke pot
and I sit there
and I think about
the times you could have
got shot
and how lucky
you know how lucky
you really fucking are
that a bullet didn't go
I got shot
I got a coke
I got shot
oh my god
I was
I was over there
with the DE agent
and
he said to me
come on
we're going to get this guy
I go
this guy knows us
I was seven times we got him
he knows me
as soon as he sees me
he knows we're not cops
I'm going to get shot
with this guy
I go
now listen to me
I found this badge
I know where the guy is
everything's good
we got this
so I'm in the truck
sleeping in the van
it's 5.30 in the morning
he picked me up
in the half way out
I was still in the half way out
I'm sitting there
in the van
and
I'm sleeping
and he goes
he's gone
and around the corner
comes the guy
we used to call him Goldfinger
because he had
both rings on every finger
it's your making kid
with rings on every finger
and he had a Mr. T. Starter
kid around his neck
so
here comes Goldfinger
in the corner
he looks in the van
he sees me
and he goes
oh my god
turns around
walks back around the corner
now
I had one eye open
so I look at him
and I'm saying to myself
did he recognize me
no
too far away
he didn't see me
there he turns back around
the corner with two guys
on each side of him
they all got their hands
in their shirts
and they start firing
if we'll have guns
and start firing
at the van
I put the van in drive
push
I put the thing in drive
ended at them
jumped out
and I was running behind the van
I went to get to a tree
and my knee gave out
I got shot
I didn't realize
I was behind the tree
I looked down at my knee
I said oh my god
I didn't hit
and he was blood
but the knee down
was all blood
so I
I said what the hell
am I going to do now
so I hear him click
click
he ran out of ammo
so I come out
behind the tree
with a gun
I go
get out of the ground
only his D.A. guy goes
you ain't no fucking cop
then he got up
and ran away
I got out of here
and I said oh my god
that one I got
I hit a lip out of here
so I lifted away
I lifted away
I hopped over a fence
and behind this building
I see Harlem River Drive
so I sort of hopped my way down
to Harlem River Drive
I pulled down a few times
through the search
and I keep rubbing my leg
and I keep rubbing my hair
get my hair out of my eyes
put on rubbing my leg
and I rubbed my hair
I got blood all over my face
I don't realize
because I'm alone
and
the guy
the D.A. agent
my father told me was a killer
he's had the killer cop
he'll be there for you
for everything
he jumped in a van
and drove away
he left me there
so I'm coming down the hill
I get to Harlem River Drive
I hop over the fence
and I hear the cops coming
I hear the sirens coming
I go uh oh
I gotta get ready
this gun is bad
I throw it in the east river
I'll sit down on a guard rail
two minutes later
there was like six cops there
and they get up
get over here
I go
maybe you're not looking real good
I've been shot
I got shot in the leg
I can't get over there
they kick me up
don't meet a squad car
and they take me to Harlem hospital
two blocks away
and I'm in the Harlem hospital
and uh
they're like
oh my god
you guys shot
they must have cooked you were a cop
I go
I don't know what happened
I was over here to rehab a building
I'm working for one of my father's friends
was buying buildings
we rehab them
and uh
when we're done
he sells them whatever
that's it
I go
I was sitting in the van
the guy started firing at the van
he goes
oh they thought you were a cop
they make the long story short
uh
the cops they brought me to a room
uh
that they stuck
antibiotics in my leg
and then they uh
they catched me up
they gave me a sedative
and they sent me to my room
they sent me to a room
and uh
I climbed off the bed
the cops were there
I made hope that I was falling asleep
they were trying to question me
I fell asleep
I made me know I was falling asleep
they left
I crawled out of the
out of the bed
got in a wheelchair
rolled down the hallway
it was like
15 old ladies
in line for uh
for the phone
I said
ladies please
I'm a police officer
I just got shot
I gotta call my house
you got my wife now
oh no problem
they let me run on the phone
I got on the phone
I called
Joey
I said
Joey I'm in room 616
get the van
get Danny
come get me
I went back to the room
jumped in the bed
closed my eyes
when I opened my eyes
there's Joey's dead in there
I was okay
let's get out of here
and I was in it
well that was like the hotbed
I had uh
I had spent my summers
I'm a Cuban
I used to spend my summers
on the 148th
and Broadway
my stepfather shot a dude
with santeria guys and shit
but I became friends
with the sedenio family
and they had nine
Puerto Rican kids
and they had nine kids
and the one that was my age
you know I had
I had kept in touch with them
through the years
from the time we were
6 to 18
but I saw them once
I went over there to cop
and you know that was the
for people who don't know
in the 80s and the 90s
from
I think it started like
I don't even know Lou
108th street
and all the way up
on every fucking street
somebody sold drugs
right or wrong
127th
135th
143
and it's ridiculous
how many spots there were
I used to love the mom and pop
bodegas there
I used to go there every week
and eat the food
I loved the Cuban
Dominican
Puerto Rican food
I mean that's me
I still go to
New York City
I go to Las Palmas
in New York City
and I still go to my wife
and I go there
all the time
I'm in Miami a lot
you know for the fights
because you know I promote now
but
you friends with Vinnie Curdom?
I know Vinnie Curdom
I know Vinnie Curdom very well
Vinnie's out here with me
he's fucking nuts
I talked to him once a month
you know how to tell me I know
oh I love him like a brother
in fact I'm going to try
to get him back on the podcast
but it's so much drama
he got to get a ride here
he forgets the address
he forgets my name
ask him what he did
ask him to say
hey that's it
don't say I said it
but ask him what he did
where they matched him up
with Marvin Aguilar
he took off for Florida
they sold out the Boston Guard
all the wife guys up there
they sold out the Boston Guard
they had turtle
they sold out the guard
and they said oh my god
we're going to make a ton of money
turtle took off
he said I'm not going to fight
this guy
he took off
and they had to give everybody
back their money
turtle was in Miami with
Angelo Dundee
and Chris Dundee
and he was fighting down there
with the same manager I had
I had my manager's name
was Murray Gaby
and turtle had the same manager
how crazy is the boxing business
well you know
boxing itself
I mean not everybody's a mayweather
not everybody's going to
make that kind of money
but it's a good stepping stone
if you're a good athlete
and you know how to use your hands
and you have good weight
and you're good you know
you're good to your body
you can make a money
you can make money to
make a life for yourself
but if you throw in it for a career
and you're going to stay there forever
and you're going to box
until you're 50 or 40 or 50
and you know
you're going to start talking to guys
oh oh oh oh
so
Bell's going to ring you up
because the guy's going to start swinging actually
but uh
it's a great sport
I mean look at MMA
well but look at MMA
I mean Joe Broke is a great guy
but MMA and UFC
those guys don't make a quarter
a quarter of what boxes make
they don't make a quarter of it
and who wants to get in there
and work and get kicked
get punched in the head
get kicked at uh
elbowed in the face
in the back of the head
feet in the chest in the stomach
I mean all that stuff
for
it's a little more than money they get
I mean I just don't
I just don't understand it
I mean if you
can use your hands
stand up and box
you're making
three, four, five times the money
why would you do that
don't get me wrong
I like MMA
I watch it
it's a lot of fun
I mean you know
and they call boxing barbaric
I'm like
oh you're kidding me right
we wear
10 ounce gloves
they wear
10 12 ounce gloves
heavy weights
and they wear
4 ounce gloves
let me hit somebody
with a 4 ounce glove
a cocoa
and I'm 62 years old
I'll kill them
they will never be
they will never get up
if I hit somebody
with a left hook
with a 4 ounce glove
it's over
I just got done
sparring just now
with my client
you know
Nakafoli's out here too
right
uh
you know a guy
named Nakafoli
yeah
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
yeah
only yet
a boxing guy from Boston
good guy
he's about your age
Vietnam dude
he's out here
he's at Justin Fortune's gym
he's at Justin Fortune's
a guy that trains
Pacquiao
that knew it
he was the old strength
and conditioning
and now he came back
after
a Revis
or Silver
whatever the guy's name was
quit
or got into the beef
with Pacquiao's trainer
oh
did you see the
fight in Mexico that just happened
or in the Philippines
with the Mexican politician
who had a really
oh yeah
what happened with that
this dude
who apparently had chest implants too
paid this chubby intern dude
to throw a fight
he got
like
barely tapped
and the guy went down
it was pretty hysterical
they said they just
and even the announcers on it were saying
like oh this guy was just done for a favor
for somebody he does business with
it was crazy
what about the Thurman fight
did you see the Thurman fight
no
I don't watch a lot of boxing anymore
Thurman got hit with a body shot
and he almost crumbled
to achieve his grimace on his face
he was really hurting bad
he went down
he went down to one knee
he got up
he got up the referee didn't even count
because he got like that cup
and he started fighting again
and knocked his opponent down
30 seconds later
that's what you do when you're in pain
yep
he's time to go
let's give it his time now
it's I gotta go
it's funny I've been hearing about you
for a long time
and you know Danny's
I did you know I grew up with those guys
and it was
I think back to those days
we were like just talking to Joey before
you know
you get these fucking goosebumps
I got anxiety that
those people didn't come looking
that those people didn't even come looking for us
like
yeah yeah yeah
he's not he's not sleeping
so listen
we did so many jobs
one night we went to a place called Fuego Fuego
and
in uh...
Fuego Fuego
right off the Broadway
Broadway over there in the city
it was at Dominican nightclub
Fuego Fuego
but right the same morning
that morning we robbed these Dominicans
we got them for like 10 keys
and about 80,000 in cash
so
we got rid of the stuff and we
already got their money
we're all going out and bought suits
we go out and buy suits in the shoes
it was a Tuesday
it was a little vinyl clothes
we meet we go out with the Fuego Fuego
we're in Fuego Fuego in
uh...
in the Bronx there
or not the Bronx
up in Manhattan before the bridge
and we're dancing
I'm dancing with this Dominican girl
and all of a sudden
Joey can look and he goes
Louis
to your right
I look to the right
and he goes
those are the guys we got this morning
they're all sitting at a table
I go
oh my God
there they are
I go
wait just come here
we'll go over and send the bottle
without putting it on to those guys
from me
point to me
so she said okay
she takes the bottle
I'm bringing up who's over there
puts it on table
and point to me
they go
oh my God
there's that cop
they ran out of the place
I go
Joey goes
you are crazy
I go
look look
Joey
we never let them not think
we're cops
when we leave
you make them think we're cops
we're giving them a break
we're not going to arrest them
we're taking their stuff
we're not going to arrest them
and they'll
they'll think that
we're cool
I play the cop
two times
I could never play a cop
I was telling Joey
I handcuffed
twice or three times
I handcuffed people
it's horrible
the first time I had a handcuffer guy
I almost shit my pants
I know I farted
I know I farted for sure
as I was bending over
putting the handcuffs on
that's a horrible thing to do
they're shaking
you got your knee on their leg
they're shaking
oh it's fucking terrible
when I got caught for the kidnapping
they're laying down on the ground
we used to walk in
I used to handcuff everybody
because you know
I mean I saw Scarface
I ain't looking to get killed
everybody down
and you know
and I love Joey
and I love Danny
and but they were
they were the little hyper
at the time
and I told them look guys
I don't want
I had to give them a gun
but I was scared to death
to get it to them
you know
Joey especially
Joey he's a great kid
but he'll shoot somebody in a second
Joey you got to relax
Joe
Joe you got to relax
well that was the biggest fear
that was the biggest fear I had
whenever I had a weapon in my hand
Jesus fucking Christ
you know
and I want to wait for kidnapping
and even that day
I remember having the weapon in my hand
and just dying inside
because I knew that something
this gun goes off
we were just talking about me
buying a gun now
you know
because the fucking
Lou the world's going to shit
oh no you got to have a gun
you got to keep your family safe
you got to have something
and the best weapon is a shotgun
cocoa
buy a 12 gauge
keep it in the house
I just want to make sure you go
I'm not pro or anti-gun control
I don't care what people have
I'm just saying
you were asking me if I wanted the gun
that's all
I don't care what others
no no no
we were discussing
having a gun
how I always
at one age Lou
I think
after I got out for the kidnapping
I got rid of all the guns
I didn't want anymore
I knew that they had brought me
just having the gun on me
would make my body language different
and people that carry
can tell when somebody else is carrying
it's a weird energy like that
I'm not allowed to own a gun
so I'm not worried about it
me neither
me neither
I'm not allowed to own a gun either
I could just have a bazooka
with fucking night goggles and shit
would you have to like petition them?
yeah I'd have to go back to court
but it was over
my felony was over 10 years ago
so I'm okay
I can get them a spot
oh then you can get it
you can get it
both of these is 20
what they call expunged
sure you got an expunged
and I got a weapon
but who wants a weapon on paper?
you want to have 92 of them
that are fucking dirty
so you can blast them
and fucking
I don't know who shot them
somebody up the corner must have shot them
I don't know hit them
who was that?
Lou I gotta let you go
but I want you to call them again
when we have more time brother
I definitely will
I love you
I love you
when we're watching for you
Friday night on showtime
tell them what time
I'll be there
I think it's around the fight start at 7
TV's probably going around 9.30
okay we'll be watching for you
and cheering for you my brother
thank you pal
have a good day
you too
see a few people just tuned in

of the church of what's happening now

and fucking handcuffing people
and having to go time
and getting weapons and shit
we don't usually talk about this today

and then we got cannolis
they were good
you had a good time
that's all
how many years you've been with her now
two
look at you
when I first met you
you had fucking
Staminco living with you
you were
you were asking
she was sleeping
now you've been with this beautiful
Mexican girl for two years
when are you gonna propose
this Christmas
like a half a fact
no
when
I kind of want to live with someone
before I propose
so you're gonna live with her in sin
like
yeah
I think
I think it's important
to see if we match
living together
well what do you think
when she comes over
is she shit in the bathroom
yeah
and what's it smell like
fine
can you live with it
yeah
but it's different
it's not different
that's it
they come over
they shit
you see how they live
do they do the dishes
yeah
they leave shit out
you gotta clean up after
it's all those things that matter
do you have to fucking
tell Andale here
you know
this is in your fucking nature
to clean
get it together here
I gotta bring a lady in
for 40 hours a week
to clean for your fucking ass
get up
clean this fucking house
the vacuum
everything's waiting for you
then wouldn't that go well with her
well that's the problem then
that's the
well how you gonna live with her
that's not gonna go well with her
because she'll want to do
the person coming in
no there's no person coming in
when a woman lives in the house
that's just a natural thing
what woman's gonna
after you take a shit
and you leave that shit thing
what woman's gonna leave that in
that's your home
no woman that lives in a home
listen a man could be a filthy pig
a woman ain't got time
to be a dirty fucking animal
what woman cannot see that
what woman
if you did something
that was there for two days
you're gonna wait for some lady
to come in
that's what you're trying to tell me
what
what
well a lady comes in what
once a week
come once in like
every month and a half
right so what does this girl do
for the other month and a half
just let the laundry pile up
and everything pile up
oh no we do laundry
you gotta clean
you gotta underlay
mop and get the fucking vacuum
and you gotta do the room
and the fucking shower curtains
and you know
there's a much that you could do
but if you don't tell them to do it
they're never gonna do it
then what are you gonna do
you're gonna live around a clean lady
men could be fucking filthy pigs
women cannot be fucking pigs
a woman has to pick up that piece of paper
she sees it
even if she didn't fucking do it
you know what I'm saying
or she could tell you to do it
yeah
but that's the number one thing
that they fucking clean a little
everybody's gotta chip in
but if you're gonna eat burritos
and leave the dish on the table
and I gotta pick it up for you
I don't want you around
right or wrong
yeah
I don't want nobody around
that don't handle this shit
if you're a woman
and I go out to fucking
I was talking to somebody that day
that was going to a divorce
and he said that would bother him the most
is when he got home
there wasn't dinner mate
because how can you live like that
your man's out
your man's doing shit
I don't give a fuck
you know
well I've started to think about that man
and I just like
it's like
how
how can I
like
like what if Paula wanted to
that'd be great but like
I don't know how to ask someone
like to expect
like yeah
if we're living together
you're gonna cook
I don't know
what the fuck that's what women do
whether they can't go to eat out
every fucking night
you got listen
let me tell you a little story
I'm gonna tell you a very important story
that irks me every day
because I miss this kid
more than you'd ever know
and after I got it
he used to be friends
with this fucking Stamina kid Gavin
but Gavin had a half a mom
or friend named Keith
and I like Keith
he came down here to be a comic
he used to hum
when he think he'd hum
he used to call him the Hummer
and he was insecure
and he had his insecurities
so I'm insecure
so I know what it feels like
to be insecure
and I took a liking to him
I loved him
he was a freak
but he was the nicest guy in the world
and people always took advantage of this fucking guy
in fact he like girls stay at his house
that he was in love with
like they were in a bind
and then the girls would move in guys
and fuck in front of him
it was horrible
the guy was a stepping stone
and I never raised my hand
I never said anything to him
I used to talk to Gavin about it
and go you gotta talk to him
because I didn't grow up with him
you did
you did
you have to talk to him
you know
and we got to lunch man
three times a week
this kid worked part time
and probably made 120 grand a year
as a TV installer
fucking smart as a whip man
smart as a fucking whip
and he had some dirty whores living with him
man that he was fucking the ass
and take pictures and shit
but they would move a boyfriend in
for like a month until they got their life together
it was fucking horrible
and we talked to him
we'd get him high
and he'd come to the county store
and hang out with me
I really liked him
I tried to be extra nice to him
like if I borrowed money from him
I'd pay him back when I told him
he used to lend me money for coke
I'd tell him the truth
this is for coke
and he'd tell me he didn't want to do it
but he'd still give it to me
and I made sure I always paid him on time
because everybody else wouldn't pay him at all
I went out of my way to
to
not do what everybody else did to this guy
and I know that everybody beat on him
as a floor mat
so I never really said nothing about his personal life
even though it bothered the fuck out of me
you know me
when Nate comes to me
he gets sent on a blind date
he gets sent on a blind date with a doctor
he's making 120,000, 130,000 a year
he lives good
he's got every movie on DVD
that big screen
you go to his house dog
Jesus Christ
it's like better than a movie theater
or I would go over there and see Heat
the shooting scene
we'd smoke dope on his balcony
and just watch the Heat
the shooting scene
between me and you I love this guy
if I got to say the top ten people
I met in my life I loved him
and I wanted everything good for him
and he hooked up with it
he got put on a blind date
and she was a big time doctor
and she made two million a year
and me and him were tight
he was chubby
so him and I used to go eat
and I knew what we used to eat
and I know what he needed with this guy
and I know me and him got along
the way we did because we both yucked
a lot of foods
like we would not even think of eating
a lot of food
you know we would not
his big thing was almonds
he doesn't like almonds
no he loved almonds
I love almonds
almonds is great for you
no cancer
you know
and I love this motherfucker
I love this dude you know
but he meets this girl
and now he's telling me
how he's going to eat like
Korean tongue
and all this shit
and I'm looking at this guy
and I'm looking at him Lee
and I can see that he's breaking
more and more
in front of me
with this woman
but I'm not saying nothing
I fucking hate this chick
I don't fucking like her at all
to the point where he proposes to her
he's going to marry her
I'm like I'm not even going to fucking
wedding
I booked myself out that week
purposely
I loved him
and I didn't think he was ready
for a wedding
and I didn't think that
I just knew this wasn't going
nowhere
I just knew that this was bad
well this motherfucker married him
and she got pregnant right away
and guess what she told him
she goes after I had the kid
don't give a fuck about your job
I'm not getting up with this kid at night
you're getting up with this fucking kid
and I gotta get to work
you know why?
because I make two million a year
I don't give a fuck about your job
now even if she didn't have a job
she had a job that paid her
three quarters of a million dollars a year
just overlooking
medical
papers
for civil lawsuits
and shit like that
okay seven fifty
I go
and when he came to me
I go don't
I could live off seven fifty
now she was Korean
and she was dirt cheap
you want me to talk to you
about dirt cheap
hell yeah
no TV
no cable
no air conditioning
do they hate fun?
bro this was horrible
all I needed a house
he'd come to me and tell me this Lee
and you know me Lee
I'm not going to listen to this
what do they do?
they would say
no no
and then
I don't know what was going on
I don't know what was going on
so one day
I just couldn't take
when he'd tell me this stuff
we would meet
three times a week
for at least breakfast
we'd meet at the IHOP
across from the internet in Hollywood
next to the sneaker warehouse there
and one day this motherfucker
is telling me all this shit
he doesn't have a job
you know
oh and he was the best
he had to take care of her mother
Lee they had no air conditioning
they had no air conditioning
no cable TV
no TV at all
this kid lived on TV
you don't fucking understand
he had to watch the kid at night
change the diapers
and then watch the kid in the daytime
til a nanny came at 2 o'clock
then he could work for 3 hours
but if the mother needed to take a bath
or something
he'd have to bathe the mother
Lee this was
my insides were on fire
and one day
I told my friend
that was closer with him
by this time I had a relationship with the kid
and I fucking
I think me and Ralphie May talked to him
well a week later
he stopped talking to Ralphie May
about a week after that
he stopped talking to me
because we told him Lee
you gotta get some type of
Lee
Keith
you gotta get some type of semblance
in your life
you have to catch this
because it's getting worse
you know what he's doing today
what
she divorced him
left him for a doctor
and he lives downstairs
in the bottom apartment
with another loser buddy of his
who's still writing Mrs. Doubtfire too
because he was waiting
for fucking Robin Williams
to do Mrs. Doubtfire too
they live in a basement
he got his
TV
at business going again
because he got a nanny for the baby
but he pretty much has the baby
24 hours a fucking day
and he has to live downstairs
and listen to his wife
getting fucked by another fucking man
he sent me a message a month ago
you know what that message was
I should listen to you
I'm sorry and I love you
I haven't heard back from you
I haven't told anybody at all
not even my wife
I haven't contacted them because
that's what happened
I talked to him
and he got mad at me
he got tick control
somewhere
if you don't tell this person
that you love
what you feel
what you expect from them
it's not gonna go nowhere
it's gonna happen ten years too late
do you follow what I'm saying T?
you don't have to act like a butcher
but you have to stick up for yourself
in every relationship
if you gotta fucking live with it
before you marry it
what the fuck are you marrying her for then?
do you want a demo drive or some shit?
I guess
no she's giving you a demo drive right now
yeah
well she can't
she can't move out and talk to her
she graduates anyway
she's gonna have expectations from you
and you're gonna have expectations from her
that's an every relationship
yeah
but if you don't raise your fucking hand
you know, Juana comes over Mondays and Fridays
to watch Mercy when Terry runs errands
okay
who do you think cleans the house
from Tuesday to Friday
you think the dishes just stay there
and the kitchen just
we do
no, yeah, of course, yeah
we do, you know
you just can't stand the couch and vegetate
everybody gotta kick in here
no, no, no, Bob
you gotta do dishes and everybody gotta cook
cause you can't do 40 a night every night
right
that's 280 a week
40 a fucking night
so somebody's gotta get a cookbook
and somebody's gotta learn how to flip those fucking tacos
because if not, what's the use?
what's the fucking use?
what am I getting fucking married for?
you following me?
you know
a man has to respect a woman
and a woman has to respect a man
you know, and they have to make it
fit somewhere along the line
but you know what?
if you don't know how to cook
I don't give a fuck
you gotta fucking learn
you gotta, right or wrong
you gotta, you know
hey listen, my mom taught me how to do laundry
so whenever I see my baskets filled
I pick it up and take it downstairs
but I'm not doing my wife's fucking laundry
you can be, you follow me?
yeah
we both kick in
but everybody gotta kick in
you just can't sit there
and fan
and go
and I've never been this far
into like a relationship before
oh, I know you haven't
but you have to raise your hand
from time to time
and you know, I ain't going for that
you know, when I got off the phone with you
and you're not gonna believe this
I didn't think about the key thing
till you told me the other day
you took the picture of original Joe's
and I said that you're gonna go
and you go, I don't know how to sell it to Paul
and right there, I knew
you're gonna have to sell it
we're going to original Joe's
well it doesn't matter
because it's the best value in town
for the dollar
I'm gonna take you to where fucking
Dean Martin used to come up here with Sinatra
you wanna take me on some Italian tour
with some of these fake motherfuckers
that sell focaccio bread
now
I'm taking you to where it all started
right or wrong
that's the 40 fucking years they've been there
60 fucking years they've been there
there's no convincing
you just go
let's go
where are we going
we're gonna go inside and eat
but nothing
get sit down
there's someone in a chicken parmesan
a french fry
something
but you gotta eat here
you come up here for 50 fucking years
you know what I'm saying
I'm not a savage
every day tonight
Terry's having a bad day
till the dryer broke
you know, she was at the zoo
with the baby
and she got the call
and then she had to come back
and we had to drive one
and then we had to all go together
and I had to take the baby to the dryer mat
and dry the clothes
and
you know, so I told her
don't worry about nothing
we're gonna go fucking eat
when I go home
I have a short list of where we're gonna go
but she's not gonna make me eat something
that I don't fucking like
or I don't wanna fucking eat
you know, she's gonna go
well I'm in the mood for this
there's something like a
you know what I'm saying
but there's sometimes
I can't fucking step in there
and you're not gonna have disagreements
but you're gonna have boundaries
in a relationship
okay
right or wrong
I don't know
I'm asking you
I don't fucking know
it just
like in the old
I don't know if it's old
I don't know what the
the word is
relationships
the wife cooks
and my mom cooked
and her mom cooks
and everyone's mom's cooked
but
it's never been
discussed
Paula's cooks for me a lot
and she does like to cook for me
but it isn't like an everyday thing
and I don't
I don't wanna have her cook every day
but I've also been like
if we get married
does that
how does that revert
cause you've talked about it
with your first marriage
you said you got like married to
get somebody to like
do your laundry or something
I'm like does that happen
and I'm like
I don't know how that
I was young
and I was dumb
well no
I didn't know what to expect
I've always been the type of guy
I don't want no woman
looking at my underwear
I don't want nobody looking at my underwear
right
I just snubbed my shoe before
I'm eight feet away from my shoe
you think I want
somebody washing my socks
you follow me so I've always been
the type of guy
that's very
impersonal
when I go to a woman's house
when I go to somebody's house
let's talk about it
when I go to somebody's house
when I go to pee
if there's a man or woman
that lived there
and that bathroom isn't impeccable
I don't even look
in that fucking face anymore
you follow me
if I go into your bathroom
there's a pair of panties backwards
and I see a skid mark on that fucking
yellow stain of pee or something
that's happened to me
I've gone to people's homes
and I've gone to the bathroom to pee
and in the bathroom on the floor
there's a woman's underwear
with a yellow mark
and a snatch
I won't even touch the crackers
I won't even taste a fucking dip
because if you don't have the chance
to pick your fucking underwear up
what am I going to do there
dog I've done it
I've gone to people's houses
that have had money
and I've had to go into that bathroom
and I've been in shock
that a woman lives there
like the woman puts her fucking hot little pussy
on that toilet with pee on it
like yellow pee on the fucking thing
that anybody would look at that
and wipe it down
that's what I'm saying
at one point do you walk past something
I don't know I agree with that
it's just a weird
I don't know how you would just go to
assuming they do it
that's all
how does somebody walk past something
and see it there
how do
I'm a firm believer
I don't ever want you to come to my house
and see a dish in my set
that's the biggest disrespect
you could do to somebody
is me coming to your house
and see six dishes in the same
I don't want to see that though
and I don't ever want you to come to my house
and me seeing that
unless we're just cooking and eating
that's just me
I'm from the school
that you finish a dish
you get the fuck up with that dish
and you that's me
I get up at my dish every night
I don't take it
Terry has never brought me a dish
or taken a dish
unless you're over
and she's like bringing in
but besides that
if you're not over or something
I get up and get that food myself
and when I finish I get up
I rinse the fucking dish
at my house
I had to rinse the fucking dish
and even if I didn't wash it
I had to rinse it
to help out the dude
or the woman who was washing it
I go to your house to eat tonight
with your mother
when I was in high school
I pick up myself
and I put the dish in the sink
and I hit it with water
and they'll say leave it there
and then I leave it there
but I don't know what
anybody else was raised
that's how I was raised
I never did the water thing
but yeah
I always hit a dish reward
really?
yeah always
why let the cheese
this is easy
this is pre soaking
I don't know what plans
they have for the sink
what's that?
I don't know what like maybe
they want to do something with the sink
I never know where to put the plate
where to put the plate
yeah but you soak the fucking plate
for them
you soak it for them
if I'm eating
if I cook something
and it's got a film
I fucking put it in the sink
and you soak it for somebody
and you hit it with soap
with hot water
it's very good
and now later on
when they come in
the fucking shit is done
I've been to people's houses
and there's a stack
of fucking dishes
and fruit flies
I run out of there
mm-hmm
yeah
you know
but
I've always been alone
so I've always done all of my cleaning
so it's just
now that it's getting to be
where we are going to move in
kind of soon
and be like how does it
I just
I don't know if it just happens
do we talk about it
I don't know
well next week
when she comes over
we fucking put some dishes out
if she don't pick them up
then you gotta have a talk with her
go what the fuck
you sat here for two days
and then pick that fucking glass up
what are you doing with your life
right over on
when you're
when you're showin'
she should come out
throw some coffee on
for fucking Lee
and
what the fuck is going on
with this house
why does this house smell like this
oh
he left the dish out
you come out
you see that she's doin' that
you take the vacuum
that's what a couple does
yeah
but I'm gonna see you
walk past the dish
18 times with an ice cream cup
you left there
you better get the fuck up
you better check yourself
and check who's the fuck
the fuck
right over on
I don't know
I don't fucking know
I'm not talkin' about
being an animal
an animal
but
you gotta say something
somebody's gotta say something
she's not messy around my house
no
so yeah
I don't know
I've just been thinkin' about it
I wonder what other people
know
when you wake up and go on the shower
does she make your bed
no
we don't make the bed
you gotta make the bed
that's number one
who makes the bed
that's what somebody on the nach would do
gotta make the bed
I just fucked in that fucking bed
I'm gonna get in that bed without
you know what I'm sayin'
right over on
I don't know
I never care
we're
yeah you gotta make the bed dog
the bed's gotta be made
you're gonna jump into an unmade bed
hell yeah
oh that's disgusting
why
cause it's fucking disgusting
it is a bed
no
well let me ask you
do you wipe your ass after your shit
every time
yes
well you gotta do the same thing
with the bed
it's gotta look nice
when you jump in the sheets are fresh
you spray some for breeze
in that motherfucker
when I get up in the morning
after I wash my little monkey
and I do the tweets and shit
I turn around
I put the bed back up
I fold it over
you move the pillows
you get them nicey nice
you live more seriously than I do
absolutely
you wanna live like a doctor
right
I have good shoes
listen man I've been poor
so the two pillows I had
I had to make work all those years
yeah
so you fuckin' fluff them back
to fuck up
and you spray some for breeze
on those motherfuckers
so you can hit that pillow
with bad breath all over again
for you fuckin' hours
hahahaha
