Wednesday September 2nd
The day the devil was fucking stabbed in the heart and then they spit in his mouth
Then they ripped his fucking horns off and then God knows what else I fell asleep. Oh
Shit
Break out the reefer break out the heroin the gorilla biscuits, whatever the fuck you got we're going deep today
Labor Day weekend
Who gives the Frenchman's fuck
What's the story there fuck nuts
Fuck nuts. What's going on with you today? Oh my god. I'm high as fuck. That's the point, you know, it's three o'clock
We got a podcast. I am really have nothing crack a lacking tonight
I'm gonna have to go find the setup here somewhere and that's it, you know, you might as well get the blood going
I got to pick the baby up at 5 30. I'm more tuned up. I went to jiu-jitsu. I got beat up. How'd that go?
Terrible, you know me. I'm terrible, but I go I get choked. I got punched in the head today by mistake
You got punched in the head. Sure. How but the guy went to do a move and he clocked me. What are you gonna do?
Okay, he's a good dude
What's up with you? You looking good? You got a little suntan that fucking joint I smoked with you
Got your red in the face. I like oh my god. I thought I had a hash in it again
No, I got everything else in there. It's some fucking Chinese opium. I got everything. No, I'm doing really good, man. I uh, I
Just it's been really formal working on the special. So it's just it's um
Like that's why I when I first contact you do icon like I grew up in Boston. I went to a few comedy shows, but most of my
Interaction with it is watching specials. So now
Going through because we've done two CDs and it's that's but that's fun
But a special is just it's something different. It's just it
You know, I don't know that just and sometimes it doesn't work like there are specials that I think are better CDs
But when a special works, it's it's fun to watch. Listen how you get hooked on comedy is by a good special
Yeah, you know everything goes right
I'm nervous, but I've been doing it for 20 years. I'm a professional
What are you nervous about just just the whole thing
But not really because I was and I thought about it and I wrote a little bit just online and look at it later on and not
When you do the work
You should have no problems. The only time you're nervous is when you don't do the work when you know you haven't done the work
I do the work. I write, you know, I'm writing this thing for Ari's show that would tape and I always got a great line
I'm this is not how I heard that on this is less podcast. He is like right. Yeah, Gabriel's doing this. Yeah
I'm Rogan's back again. It's gonna be kick ass. So you got a show, but a fucking great story, you know
So you gotta figure stuff out. So from writing that story. I'm writing material
I put little sections in the book. So I'm writing three things at once with the focus on the special
What's the specials done? It's Ari's thing and then it's the book finishing up the book
Hopefully get Gordon going. Oh, I'm just embarrassed to send him anything at this point because
You look at what you're writing. You're so critical of yourself. I'm critical of everything of myself
You know, that's why I don't look at
Video or listen to CDs or something and what I put when I do listen to a taping
I do learn something about what I just did on stage. So it is very beneficial. It's just I'm scared
You know, I do you think you would change the way you do comedy cuz you fuck
Yeah, I'd be I've elevated to a different level if I listen to my sets every night if I remember to tape them
Go home. Listen to them. Listen to how I said that thing
You change the way you do your set every night because I'm talking more on because I don't listen to the one that works
If I were to listen to if I go home and listen to a set even though everything else sucks
I try a new joke when I say this certain way
I'll say it like that every night if I remember how to say it if I listen to how I say it
I just don't do that
These next two weeks. I have to do that. Okay. It pays to do that. I listened to what I did in DC
And that got me going a little bit. So from there you could write a little bit even though I don't like listening to my voice
You know, I don't like listening to myself on a fucking podcast or none. That's not my bag
I'm like watching myself on TV. I don't like none of that shit
You know, it just doesn't look like a sick sick feeling in your stomach or something or just doesn't feel right
It's something that you're not supposed to do it feel and then I always didn't say nothing nobody about this
But I watched the pirate of the Caribbean and let him in one night and he was telling let him in the same thing
They were talking about dailies and he goes, I don't look at dailies. Let him is like, what do you mean?
You don't look at that as he goes once I shoot it. I'm fucking done. Who's the whole am I talking about Johnny Depp Johnny Depp
Listen, if Johnny Depp don't want to look at himself and he looks that good
What may you know saying like if he doesn't want to look at himself. How do you think I fucking feel?
Johnny Depp is beautiful at least when he shoots fucking films and shit if he doesn't want to look at himself
How do you think I feel but wouldn't wouldn't the argument be that you're like you're a good comic
So it's not like some comics to be like boy suck. You're listening to stuff that's making people laugh
So it's not bad. There's just something about oh, no, I totally I had a friend once when I first moved to LA
I got invited to a Super Bowl party
And there was a bunch of fucking morons there pretending to be industry people I didn't know no better
I still kept my mouth shut. I didn't say nothing. I just went and watched
There was a couple comedians there but at halftime in this in front of all these fake industry people
This guy had the balls to throw a demo reel in
now I
Could see if you in the outlaw Josie Wales the mechanic
Fucking you know five Academy of board movies. I'd walk with that CD in my back pocket when people ask who the fuck am I?
I throw that shit on who the fuck of mine. Let me tell you what I did with my TV with you, too
Yeah, with a TV with a fucking thing on the screen
This guy, you know, I don't know what he was thinking not to mention. He was a bad comic at the time. He was young
He throws this fucking reel in
And he's got this big smile on his face like he's about to change the world
And it was like to make it even worse. It was like a 16 minute one
Oh my god, we're at least throw a three minute one in and people tolerate it like a Superbowl commercial
This fucking guys was 16 minutes and right in front of them
Like people watched it for a minute and then people started turning away
And I felt bad for him, but at the same time I was like, what the fuck are you thinking?
Do you think he's just stupid like no, yeah, he's fucking stupid
Could it be that he's just so vain well that too. He's stupidly fucking vain. Yeah, whatever the fuck makes you go
16 minutes. Those are the first executives to hear that for 16 minutes
And it wasn't good it was you know, it was like short films and he had done like films with his friends
Even if it was fucking and he had a piece of him party of five
Not even with Scott Wolf and the stars like fucking doing something that was it that was his reel the rest was and
Listen at the time. What the fuck was I to talk? I didn't dick
I had nothing but I had more sense than to bring a fucking reel in and pop in a Superbowl
Was it his house? No, no, yes. Yes Lee. He went up to the host
He let me put this in Lee everyone love this no Lee. You're my brother. He didn't even ask the house
He just drew the VHS tape man
And everybody was like what is this and he goes this is my demo real and you could feel
He came killin the room like it's Sunday
It's the Superbowl and this is what you're deciding to fucking do to him
I'm surprised people didn't just leave I was so fucking embarrassed for him
But I learned a lesson that day like I I I couldn't believe I would never dream of doing anything like that
I would never dream of going up to a reel and giving it to somebody. You know how many fucking people give me reels
Yeah, if I could do some time here. I'm trying to get in the fucking movie
I need my insurance next year and these motherfuckers come up to me asking me do you have a fight?
Can I give you my reel and I'm gonna do your fucking reel and a reel isn't even necessarily entertaining like it's just little clips
And it could be like a good part of the scene. I guess clips are great. Yeah, but reels are great
I was looking at Ed Quinn's reel. I mean there's some actors that have fucking
You don't even know who the fuck they are and they've been in ten huge movies with Denzel
You know, they're just regular actors. His reel is I got a couple friends that they're fucking real like they're not comics
They're fucking actors like Emilio. You know what Emilio's reel must look like Jesus Jesus
Well, it's impressive, but it's it's like not for entertainment. It's not like people
No, no, no, I see what you're saying. No, no, no. Yeah, that's what I'm saying
But who would throw a fucking video of themselves exactly like a five-year-old fucking Superbowl and
Lee I would never dream of doing something like that
I would never dream of putting on a tape in front of you and my wife
I get embarrassed unless I really fucking know you and I really love you and you've been there for 15 years telling me along the way
And you ask I think you would be like, hey, do you mind watching people came over the house? I said, do you have Marin?
I heard you on Marin somebody came over and I put it on for them the first and I walked out of the room
Really? I mean I walk. Oh, yeah, I go in the kitchen. I don't want to see myself on TV
Those premieres and all that shit
Listen, I did
You know years ago like before 2006 before everybody went broke in Hollywood and they became cheap
You know years ago all the car all the agencies had Christmas parties, right? I mean
Well, they serve in caviar and people fucking flying in the air with firecrackers in their assholes
No, but it was just small agencies with some cold cuts. Maybe a cake all that's been taken away
Agencies used to send you Christmas cards. Nobody sends me fucking Christmas cards in the industry
And one of the things they removed were viewings a lot of times you come up to me and go Joey
I did this this thing for ABC and they're showing it at one of brothers tonight
You want to come on me at seven o'clock when I first moved I did a bunch of those for people just went and watched
And a lot of times you do a short film people get nice little screenings and you'll invite a friend to something like that
You know, I just couldn't sit there when my part came on
How we said I get up and leave make believe like I had a hand to the phone or what like what like what goes on in your head or your
Body like what is it?
Who's this fat motherfucker first of all? I think that somebody's playing a trick on me
It's like when we went to see like I tolerated it because of the church
I did it for you guys that Christmas Eve when we went to the movies. I did it because I knew the people that would show up
Were part of something I
Didn't want to get up in front of them walk out insult them. We put the thing together. We had a great time
We got fucking high Salami came we all came wasn't an Academy Award movie
But we went and the only reason when this when I came on I closed my eyes. No, you did. Yes, I did
Look, you know me. I make believe like I got something in my eyes and I looked down
First of all when I watch myself on something like that. I think that
Somebody's playing games with me. Let's be honest. Okay, the truth
I feel like I'm too high and somebody just took a character out inserted me in that just the fuck with my head
It feels so surreal Lee like somebody just took
Well, my body is my body even though you remember rehearsing you remember shooting it everything just seeing it
It's the fucking creepiest weirdest feeling in the world. What happens when you do ADR
That's when I see everything and that's when I first get really embarrassed and I get choked up for a few minutes
And usually it's just me and the sound guy
Right, it's funny because I done those stupid Christmas dog movies. I've done my five of them
So it's the same sound guy. Oh, so I always got to go to Sherman Oaks
And I see him and we giggle and it's just me and him in the room and the first time he could tell that I was uncomfortable
Like I'm always uncomfortable the first couple takes and then once I get going I get going
Like once I get going they overcome my fear. I fucking go
But I just don't listen
When you look at yourself on the screen, you know, it says that that's 10 pounds
Yeah, in my mind that has 50 fucking pounds. Oh, I know
I used to hate looking at pictures of me heads on your pounds and then you hate your voice
Yeah, you hate your hair and you hate your mouth and you hate you know
You just it's just this thing that it probably is all part of an insecurity
That's good, you know, it's something that you've always had whatever you just hate
My voice I can't fucking hear it. Really? Oh, I fucking hate it when I hear it
I just run him out of the room. You have a cool voice though. No, I don't know
But you know, it's little things like that. I just can't do it
I just can't do it sit there when people edit my reels like that's why I go to the same guy for 15 years
same company 15 years
Even though he's pricey as fuck I
Love him. I've been with him for 15 fucking years
I was there when he was an employee before he bought the company
So he only deals with like big guys and shit like that. Okay, but he still talks to me
Like when I go there, I sit with him and he has a computer in this room. They have like little
Offices, yeah, and they have little underlings and you sit with them and they put your things in it's really cool
I go yeah used to be in Los Feliz on top of the chicken place by the Scientology
Oh, really? Yeah, you know the chicken place by UCB. Yeah, yeah, you have you've eaten of that chicken place
Yeah, not bad the onion rings are pretty good the fucking soup the spicy chicken soup
I used to get it when I get sick back then do you ever do?
Oh, it's kind of off-topic, but do you ever do you see me or not really one time one time? I
Gotta go down there and look for parking and do comedy for people who don't want to see me do comedy
You know what I'm saying? They want to see somebody else do comedy so fuck. I don't fuck him so
But like what I mean
Yeah, you never like what are you gonna do if you get like a TV show or something not watch it
What the fuck am I telling you here not watch it tape it and move on with my fucking life
Like I do with everything else have these fucking movies. I do I don't watch I
Have like 10 movies on Netflix that I've made over the years
Not a million fucking years
Not in a million years
There's gotta be like four of them. I have
Something's mother with Stacy's mom
Okay, it's not a song. Yeah, Stacy's mom has got it going on. Yeah, Stacy's mom
I did something else and a ball with strippers that they were gonna add a part two and they called me and made it off
And then part one was so terrible that they just went away and started shooting other movies
They made an offer just went away. Oh my god, Doug
They they did part one, but it was one of those fake Pauly Shore rants
Do you remember when Batman did his rant and it went viral? Oh, right?
It was a guy, you know, I like Christian bail Christian bail fuck you motherfuckers and you're in my life
You're in you're in my life. You're not professional
Well after that shortly Pauly Shore through a rant and that movie and there was also the guy from airplanes last movie
He died after he shot that movie Nielsen
So it had all this fake heat
And I don't know what the fuck the name of this can you believe that I don't know what the fuck I did that
That had to be four or five movies that I did
From 2007 to 2010 that I had no fucking idea. I don't know when they got released if they did
What happened? What about your animated work because you don't see yourself. You just hear yourself. I
Never done animation. Do you did one thing right tank or something a year or two ago? Oh, yeah
I didn't watch it. I taped it and I gave it to the people put on my reel. I didn't watch it. Okay. I'm telling you Lee
I won't do it very seldom
When Joel sent me the tapes from DC. I fucking listened to him because I was alone in my room
There are 40 minute tapes. I listen to it for about 16. That's all I could tolerate before I had a fucking headache listening to me
That's fucked up. I got a bunch of emails from people like maybe four emails in the Gmail
That they were really unhappy with Kate and I got like two on Twitter, you know
And the ones I got on Gmail were really like fucking mean about like they don't like when I put a woman on here
They didn't understand was it the homeless thing? I think yeah
She's a fucking hustler
Okay, oh get a camera put a bikini on and go out there and live on fucking Venice Beach
Don't fuck with that girl. That's why I had her on the show. I didn't have her on the show because she's a fucking knockout
We don't have women that are knockouts on the fucking show
You know, we have women that have a fucking spine
They do comedy and I give them the most fucking respect and if you can't fucking deal with that
I don't understand why you even listen to the fucking show
But I'm about I guess that there she's a woman or
Who knows I put her on the show because let me tell you something that girl's a fucking 12
And I wouldn't the first off when you have a girl like that. I learned when I was about 31 in bold
There's girls that get hit on all fucking day long
You know what you look at them you look at you, you know, you're not gonna fuck
So why are you gonna hit on them for a waste of time?
If you treat that girl opposite of what everybody else treats that girl like you're gonna have a good friend
You're gonna have a really good friend out of a woman. Do you understand me and someday that girl
I'm putting that girl on I'll tell you why I'm putting that girl on because someday that girl's gonna be on ABC and
There's gonna be a part for a grandpa or fucking stupid old cop and she's gonna fucking call me
Because I believe in that young girl
I don't put these women on because I want to fuck them Sarah Tiana or whatever
I put them on because they do something
That they prove to me in a way that this is what they want to do
I see people come and go we see people come and go everybody wants a fucking shortcut
Right to this fucking reality of debt that they want to get involved with I don't even know why we want to shortcut
But when you see that a girl that looks like that
Isn't fucking a manager or an agent or a casting director or a fucking top actor and she's out there every night for free
For free guys doing fucking sets at the haha and at the fucking store in the belly room
And she's doing two or three spots a week then she's making a fucking video
She tweets all fucking day and she Facebook's all day, which in a way is fucked up
But it proves to me that she's on it, right, you know and someday along the line that girl's gonna be on something
They gave a 10 o'clock playboy who the fuck is home in a 10 o'clock jerking off on a Saturday night 15 year olds and kids
Who are punished and old fucking creepy dudes that have no fucking friends
So they put around at 10 at least they put around you know somebody said to me
Oh, well who cares she's on a show time a playboy show who has put maybe 10 people are gonna see but what the fuck are you on?
What the fuck am I on I'm not I'm not everyone has a first step and that's yeah, it's not an issue with podcasts
But it's it kind of is more the comedy community. There's a lot of clicks and
The an issue with podcasts is because there's so many of them you hear all the same guests a lot and a lot of your friends
Your clique are like you sit in some ways in some ways or not, but they have sort of similar attributes
So whenever we get someone like that or like Jason Stewart that's kind of out of it
It I can understand where it would be jarring, but it's doesn't it doesn't mean they're bad
I got one gay hater for Jason Stewart, which I was fucking in shock. I
Was fucking in shock, but I understand we have nice people listen to this fucking show that understand
Where we're coming from not all the guests are gonna be top-notch not all listen
I watched Letterman for years and he did five shows a week four of them were fucking three of them were great
One of them was mediocre one of them was like who gots well
That's David Letterman with thousand writers thousands producers lights cameras action water fucking cookies and shit
Oh, well, no, of course different podcasts are gonna be better than others
But it's not even like like Kate was a bad. Yes. No, not at all that homeless thing was good silly
But I see what you're saying now, but yeah, but it's if I want to get mad about me there
It's not because she's sucking dick right and she's showing a pussy and she's jumping up and down except the fucking chicks
Tarzan brought down from the hookah house. Oh, yeah, they're showing everyone
But the fucking girls I bring in here comics whether it's Christine Pazinski
Saratiana the other girl listen the fucking girl that was eating goat cheese, you know and getting a toenails clipped the girl from Chelsea
I love her to death. She's crazy
But you know how long I've known that she's been in this game as long as I have since 98 Heather McDonald
So as crazy as Heather McDonald is I give up my heart because most people by now would have had kids and quit this fucking action
She's still out there banging it out saying jokes about whatever the fuck she's saying
I'd love to get Natasha Leguero on next time I see I'm gonna tell her to come on
There's a lot of women I got the utmost respect for in comedy and just in general just in general
Yeah, I'm fucked up when I say some fucked up things
But I do respect and I do look and I see what people are doing. I know what the fuck you're doing
I know what the fuck everybody's doing if you're in my fucking realm. I know what the fuck you're doing
So when you come to me and go, it's not working out
What the fuck were you doing last night? I didn't see you at the store last night
You had a spot and you canceled but you didn't show or something
You know, you have all these people, you know, do you know what it's like to be here
For six or seven years and hear people cry every night behind the store when you're starting out
And I'm sure I cried for a few years myself, but then I realized there was no fucking there's no use in crying
You know what you do you go home you have a roast beef sandwich you go to bed
You wake up the next day and you hit that fucking pavement like you've never hit it before
That's the secret of fucking success and I'm not talking about making millions
I'm talking about just surviving in any game in any game and we've discussed this already. So when I see
Tebow
When I see red man putting shows together and going here and going there when you call me up and say hey man
I went to this place and I got beat or they didn't pay my full money. Guess what you're doing your job
Learning about comedy
You're learning about life in this fucking realm and it's not just this room if you weren't editor and I called you today from
Michigan and said I want you to my film and when you get here you have to share a room with a fat stinky fuck like me and
instead of getting
$35 for per diem they give you $18 for per diem. That's part of the game, bitch
Now you have to decide whether you'll do that again whether you'll cover your ass. That's part of this game
We all have a learning curve, man
Whatever you decide. I don't care if you're a plumber mason a waiter. You want to make $300 a night as a fucking waiter
What do you do Lee?
You you shine your shoes you cut your fucking toenails you take your tie you fucking put it all the way up to the top
You don't be creepy you fucking fix your eyeball you whiten your teeth
You fucking shave nicely so your fucking nose hairs don't fall on the fucking food and you're a waiter
You ever see the difference when a $300 waiter and a $50 a night fucking waiter. Yeah big fucking difference
And the 300 there's some weight. I fucking did I went I took my wife to lunch after one of the kettlebell glasses
I took her to lunch at that fucking place. She wanted to get the chopped salad
So we went to this moot special. Okay, and already more than that the moot special for lunch at $21.99
I took her in there the fucking girl was amazing and she was a comic. Oh
Like a green comic like she had just moved out from Philly and I invited her to the store
She was such a great waitress because I didn't ask her for anything one time
And she treated my wife with the utmost fucking respect like she was she took care of my wife more
She took care of me and that means the world to me. So a
You know having a good waiter I
My parents were always good tippers. So I tried to do that
But lately I've seen more and more bad. So I've started doing less
I got I was used to only 20% now. I've started to go below
I like fat waiters because they're fat people. They know what it's like to get food
I don't want to fuck around when I got a fat way that he's slipping
I get fucking pissed because they know what it's like when you're fucking hungry when the fat guy comes to my table
I love and I just give him the menu back when he comes and goes
What are we drinking? We know we're drinking you ready rightly. There's no fucking procrastinating with Uncle Joey
I never let that way to come back twice. There's no reason to when he comes to the table the first time and says hi
Sparkling water. No, let's grab the fucking pet. Let's let's launch this fucking on. Let's get this party started
18 joints you want to give me water one of my Moses break out the fucking chopped salad the fucking shrimp cocktail
Whatever the fuck it is you got break it out. They want to come over and offer me water. Get the fuck out of you
I'm paying get the sodas get the milkshakes get the bread get the whole fucking army on and this isn't an exaggeration
This is talks to waiters. No, let's do this. I love listen when I'm playing games. You tell me to tip you
I'm gonna hit you with cash and put them on the card. So that's why fuck around don't stare at me
Let's do this shit. This is quick get the fucking pad out. This is what we're doing boom boom boom boom
My wife is one of those people I haven't decided what the fuck I mean you decide you've been 18 fucking times
Either you want it or you fucking don't I'm gonna sit there and go ping pong and with this fucking waiter
Are you ready? No, I've been ready since I walked in the fucking door. I would have gave you the order at the fucking host table
That's me. I already know what I'm coming in here to fucking eat
You think I'm gonna sit there and pick my teeth to look around
Oh the ambiance. I don't give a fuck about the arm. This could be the bottom of the basement if the fucking food is good
I'm the like cocksucker
I love women go to a place that we've been to before and they just know your order already like that the starbucks dude knows you
All right night. Oh, yeah, that's my dog
And it's just it's just it's funny
It's getting in mode because they don't get talked because they don't get spoken to like that a lot especially here
Nobody people probably like dismissive of them and nobody likes the nobody no more and they go into shock
Remember the movie crash that they were saying people in LA and keep crashing into each other, but nobody communicates
I think that's that's not fair. I think it's all over the country
When I go eat somewhere, I want to talk to the bus boy
I want to talk to the waiter. I want to talk to the cook
Cause everybody primo primo and everybody's my fucking primo jack out of respect
We're gonna hear give what shake hands and explain change names
You're my fucking primo and I talked to those bus boys in the spanish because nobody ever fucking talks to them
Okay, if there's a shootout at any restaurant i'm in
Those bus boys are gonna come over and grab me like fucking
The what's that show we got chopo like narco chopo narco
Yeah, they're gonna hit me with the table and pull it over me. Why because I talked to them with respect
I don't talk to them like they're a dishwasher. I went to the know-ho
Uh
Thursday, I was flying out Saturday morning and I went my wife was sleeping
I flew out like at six and I went to know and had breakfast
I had a whole conversation with the mexican things. I was cracking dirty joes and shit
They were loving it. Nobody talks to the fucking waiters. Yeah, but look look at my table
My table always got bread on it always got extra butter like a motherfucker the glasses are filled
Because I give them the respect that they fucking deserve
You know, they're making four miles an hour. They're the backbone of that fucking restaurant, you know
Anywhere I go, you know, I'm continuous for people. I'm not a flip flop. I don't believe I'm flip flop
I don't believe these people. Well, we wanted to try new chinese
No, I've been eating there for 35 fucking years and I'm gonna continue to fucking eat that your loyalty is fucking important
There's some places that don't care about your luck and you know it
But these mom and pop places when you walk in right are you fucking kidding me when I worked at legal
There's this lady who would come and sit at the bar and every time anything she ordered came up
If you were just learning it to her she'd have a five dollar bill for you
When you're I mean when you're in the server like especially as a server a bartender
A person like at Starbucks. You're on your feet. You're doing a lot. So when someone's a little bit nice to you
There's so much you can do that like to give them for free or to try to help them out
And especially if you know, you're gonna get tipped or just treated like a person. That's pretty great
you know, I was telling you guys that uh
I did sicklers podcast and he asked me he asked me button questions questions that matter
What happened after your mother died that window?
I was a good bartender Lee I was a good bartender. I can see that I'll tell you why because I talked to people
I had to drink from them. I I treated everybody like they were doing blow like the way I wanted to drink
I look you in the eye. What are you drinking brother?
What kind of beer you got bud? You know, I always
Uh had something an answer for you and I always was very serviceable
I always tried to be nice to you until you became like uppity with me because I was a bartender
Played like a con because in new york that those days it was kind of weird
But at the end of the day, I was a very good bartender. I made a good living
Remember I was telling you I felt bad about things I did. You know when I got a job at that Sheridan
and uh
The winter of 84 there was a kid that I knew there right off the bat
I had grown up with
His name was John Crespo. I went to sacred heart school for boys
In fact, it was his stepfather
Who got me into sacred heart school for boys his mom was Puerto Rican
And he had the biggest blackest stepdad you ever seen in life anthony
He sold heroin and he used to not with my with my buddy nelson
And nelson was partners with my mother and the dry cleaning business
He's imagining a huge black guy being like, hey, I'm anthony. I saw heroin
And he used to have a man purse filled with heroin and shit, but he was six for four
300 pounds. What do you want to do? I don't know if he played football in those days or what?
He referred sacred heart school to boys to nelson nelson referred it to my mom and that's how they got me in
Once I went to sacred heart. I went to sacred heart in the third grade. Okay
John Crespo was in the fifth grade. Oh
So he was always older than I was one summer
We went to Puerto Rico me and John Crespo
And we were there for 10 days me his mom
him and big black fucking anthony
And we were staying at a hotel and we dropped an ice cube from the third floor of a hotel
We cracked the dude in the head they threw us out of
I was in the fourth grade they're going into the fourth grade and we went to this old someone and there's new someone
We went to kill the guy or he for they had a call on ambulance
They threw us out of the hotel. He was bleeding everywhere and shit
We had to give him a fake name and get out of there. It was fucking classic
You gave fake names
We were talking about when Ralphie was here when we hit the guy with the M&M and bounced
Same thing happened with the fucking ice cube. I remember the cops still saying to us. Do you understand what happened?
And it was a little higher than the third floor. I'm lying to you guys. It was up there
It was like the 10th floor. It was like the 10th of the 7th floor. It was a brick
It was 1973
So I was 10. I was 10. I'll never forget this
Bruce Lee had already died
And me and him went to Puerto Rico like in august and we were there for 10 days. We saw a 14
motherfucking kung fu
We saw 14 movies 13 of them were kung fu movies. The only white movie we saw
Was something about man on the mood marigold. It's I it was just on about a month ago
Puerto Rico for 10 days and saw 14 movies 14. That's all you know when you were a dumb fucking kid
What do you care about it? We went to the beach in the morning
And in the afternoon me and him would go to the fucking movies with a sister
That was it. His mom used to make the best fucking cheese omelet because
She would whip the egg and then put it down and then just slice the american cheese thin on top
And she put pepper for me. That's what turned me on to cheese omelet. It's his mother anyway
I lose contact with john crass ball black anthony and I forget what his mother's name was
My mom who the fuck knows
I go to colorado
I come back and my buddy stinky says my brother got a job at the fucking at the fucking
Sheridan if you want a job as a bartender they got room
they got
Excuse me banquet bartenders are making 17 10 an hour
And the regular bartenders make 12 52 an hour. I don't forget this conversation
and I said well get me the banquets because
You do the banquets for four hours, but you get paid for eight
Oh, shit
Yeah
And you don't have to deal with customers. It's just a whole bunch of orders. I think they got like a banquet tip
So what happened was I had to go to the american bartending institute
I did that all right the big one nationwide when you have lifetime placement
So I went to uh
Before I got the job they said we'll give you the job
But while you start the banquets you have to go to american bartending and I went from six to nine for two weeks
But then they moved me to the front bar that thursday
Like the second week, you know, you're supposed to graduate that friday and do the test where you flip the bottles in the air
And shit that thursday morning they called and they said hey man some guy quit
In the fucking front bar and if you could make it this will be your job permanent
It was five to one in the morning at the front bar right when you walk into the sheriff
It's been redone now in the whole fucking deal
So when I get in I do my paperwork whatever the fuck I got to do
They gave you different shirts like different collars uh the vests, you know with your name on it
And when I went in I saw John Crespo
I go, what the fuck and he goes, holy shit. It was like 20 years. We didn't see each other. We hugged
And he pulled me aside. He goes, here's the deal dog everybody steals
And here I had been stealing I had been a criminal and I'm like I'm looking to get a job but
A career I had a girlfriend
I really wanted this to work the first day he pulled me over. He's like listen the dude that was here with me
Was stealing at least 200 a day if you don't steal 200 a day. They're gonna fucking know
I'll teach you how to rob. So these guys were doing like x and out and
Are closing the register and then ringing up shit and then they're taking the tape out
They would this is the 80s. So it wasn't computerized
So let's say your tab is 74 bucks
Right. I put four in and you give me and I keep 70 cash. How you paying for this credit credit cash
Money, how you paying for this? I'm paying for this cash
98 dollars, you know what I put in the register
nine eight dollars
So that 90
went right in my fucking pocket cash
So I would ask you before the deal even started. How you paying for this guys credit card? You want to open up a tab?
Well, that was a good bar time that was making rusty nails
I was making those things that people that are popular now that women's drink martinis cosmos and cosmos
I was making those shits my fucking hand 30 years ago, my friend. That's how good I was at it
But I hadn't learned how to bartend in my mother's bar. I knew from watching her
I knew how customer involved you had all those drinks and shit came later on
But the guy that cracked me the most was the guy that owns pillsberry
Really?
Him and his wife came in and sent me like a dollar 44
I have to buy a bottle of wine for like 90 bucks
They gave me like a dollar 44. I mean, I I used to get shocked there. I really learned about people
I really learned how fake people are when they come in
And you think like if you prejudge somebody and go this guy's gonna tip me
These are the guys that don't tip you they
Have you heard about the american express american express black card?
Yes, like it's a metal one where they have to spend like a hundred grand a year right worse tippers
Like I've gotten stiff by a couple of them
And they have to spend a hundred grand a year
And they're bad tippers
It's crazy what I learned but the point of the story is that I was good Lee
But I ruined that because I was stealing they never caught me. I never got caught but I fucking know
That whole year and a half was ruined. I mean, yeah, I got fired and
I got suspended for not fucking showing up and whatever but it was never really for stealing
It was because of my fucking addiction and I like to party and do drugs and you know, they would let me out to new york at one in the morning
By 115 I was on the sidewalk a 50 second and fucking seven. That's the heart in new york city
What what do you want me to do?
I'm gonna go home who goes home
And trains and cabs and in those days fucking they were picking up cabs and black
You know african people were picking up everybody was getting picked up
You could be in a cabin pay three dollars to go away. It's the fucking arm in those days
But I thought about that how I was a good bartender no complaints nothing like that no write-ups
I kept everything clean. I was very polite with people
You know, when you if I knew Lee liked what do you like that drink with the diet coke?
makers when I saw you walking in
There was a makers in coke waiting for you and if it was three or five, bro
I'll tell you what I would do
This is how old school I am because my mom did this my mom used to cook and give away the food for free
You know these cuban meals we go and we pay for $18 one. My mom would ask you at five o'clock. Hey
We may pick out of you. I broke one free holiday. We may pick out of you whenever you hungry
Whether you came in every day or not. That's my mother that because the cuban that's what women do when they cook
They offer you my mom would say listen we cooked in the my mom had the restaurant, but then she closed it down
But on the summers instead of her going to new york city
She just cooked for me back there
And you know she'd make a huge lunch coming on and she's loud and fucking black beans and she'd cook up a pig and shit
And you come to the bar and she'd go guess what somebody gives you a fucking cuban meal
For free or any meal meatloaf or anything that makes you feel like you're at home
You're not going nowhere and you're always gonna come there. So, you know what I would do. I would order appetizers
I get them for 50% off
That's a fucking brilliant idea for bartenders. I was 21 years old guys
This is my cocaine. Listen when you sell coke
I'm not going to get you to go in your pocket by just telling you how good the code is if you're bartender
You don't do that. You're an idiot. You're an idiot. I get nachos. I get chicken wings
Do you know what they cost me in those days? Not just 450 two dollars
For eight dollars. I got nachos and wings and if there was six guys and there was a game on tv
I'd draw that as soon as they came in give them the who paid for this. No, it's on me
Brother, let me get two more orders of wings
Fucking you're the best and next thing you know, you're ringing up a tab here and numbers times 10%
And I would get 20 30 percent from them because just because I get the wings for half price
And they'd be happy to it's not like you're scamming them. No, I'm not fucking I would get I would tell them
There was the chef that the restaurant would say why did you get three orders of wings?
Because I was fucking hungry and the bar people were hungry. It's a shame. You don't put food out for these people five o'clock
I'm getting out of fucking work at five o'clock. I walk into a bar. They better be having there's a ham and cheese sandwich on white
When I was a kid you go into john mary's
Every fucking day I would go to john mary's after school
And in the middle of the bar when I was a junior in high school when I was 16 17
I would go to john mary's
Because there was a chicken delight place next to a chicken fell and our friend john kow worked in there
So there was always chicken for you to eat but the bar
George the book the loan shark the bookie and lila
Would get a like a pizza tray
Okay with a little shield on top like you know when you eat at a fucking thing and they pull the shield up
Right, but it was see-through and then that thing would be
50 ham and cheese sandwiches cut into quarters
So when you come in at five there's something there for you
Guess what you take two pieces of sandwich that guy's gonna go. What's on the menu tonight spaghetti and meatballs
Let me get two fucking orders you opened up my appetite
With those little cheese sandwiches
And yeah, you're gonna have your moochers
Because I was one of them I go in there with four dollars with 60 cents a mug
Three fucking mugs a dollar 80 you leave light of two dollars and you eat 10 fucking sandwiches. That's dinner
You know there's that mentality
But for the normal human being that goes and then there's a sandwich for you at five o'clock after you knock off at the post office
How many times you listen when I got if I worked the eight hour day when I walked out of this fucking building
I'm going right to the con. I'm sparking a road. That's already rolled
But you know what I'm saying like it's been I already had a joint and smoked half of it on the way there and kept the half
Right same thing happens when I'm a fucking when I'm drinking
I want to walk into a bar and have a mug there waiting for me the ham and cheese sandwich
Well, I watch the fucking news. It's a great feeling when a bartender remembers what you order
I had to have them ones out here at the Boston bar and I sat down and she just came up. I was like
And it's
That's a good bartender. You're thinking of your people. I'm thinking out of the box
I'm thinking about if they're fucking hungry
If you're a waiter right now and the guy comes into your fucking table and you don't have bread in front of him
Within six. I don't give a fuck about the water order
I don't give a fuck about the drink order. I see a motherfucker sitting down. I got a table of fucking
I'm already listen when they're at the host stand. I'm already throwing bread in the oven getting that warm
So they haven't even sat down for two minutes and they got bread and butter
Especially if they have kids and I don't give a fuck if I'm throwing their appetite off. I'm there to feed them
When I have a restaurant, I'm not there. I don't give a fuck about your appetite
I give a fuck about my appetite when the bread comes with the basket
If I eat it that's I eat it because I'm a fat fuck, but I want the option league
You ever go to a restaurant that has great bread and you're waiting 15 minutes for your bread
By the time you get the bread, you're so fucking aggravated. Why wasn't this here eight minutes ago?
If the if the guy is good and he's committed to his job
Whether he's a bus boy or he's the fucking major d
The bread will be there within six fucking minutes when I was at the server. You were supposed to get like
Greet the table with bread and water. Hopefully that's it. Yeah, that's it. Listen. I love mexicans
I love mexican people. I love the whole culture. I've always have but you ever go to el compadre
No cocaine bar the guy just killed himself rest in peace. They just sunshot him joke
Rest in peace. He got shot last week. They buried him
No, no, no, this guy was a good guy
Oh the guy from chicago
El compadre when you walk in as coked up as they are
When you sit at the table with the 22 seconds
A mexican sweat and bullets comes up to you and gives you chips green sauce and red sauce and two waters
Just to get the party started
I believe in getting the party fucking started. What's with the chitter chatter?
Bring the fucking food and then we'll chit chat later as we're picking whatever
I'm blown away by the appetizer idea though, and I've never seen it anywhere
No, such an easy thing to do these people fucking moron
I mean it didn't listen if I had to pay a hundred percent. Maybe with the game would have been different
I'm not gonna but not even really because I was making eight bucks
I was making 12 52 an hour times eight eight times 10 whatever the fuck 96 dollars, right?
Right, isn't 96 dollars right 96 dollars. I was walking out of there with a buck 40 in cash
Right, right. That's legitimately and then I had another deuce in my sock
I can't buy five water and nachos and five water wings to up my money
The reason why everybody else was making a hundred there a night
120 I was walking out of there when anything was from 140 to 200 in tips
And it was because of the nacho thing and the wings and the fucking celery sticks
You probably don't want to spend a hundred bucks, but if you spend 25 30 dollars 30 fucking dollars to make me fucking
70 80 70 80
What do I care? I doubled my fucking money with the chance and some nights it bailed out some nights people left me a 50
I had a guy left me a 50 a couple people left me 20s, you know on a beer
Somebody gets a Budweiser for six bucks
And leaves you 14
You did your job. Yeah, that's the name of no fucking
You know you get 10 guys that leave you 14 fucking bucks after a bottle of Budweiser to eat my nachos
I paid for my nachos 10 times fucking over right
nachos
Free sodas all that shit that cost me fucking 10 cents
That cost me 10 cents. I can't give you a lobster tail. Listen when you go buy a car
Okay, and you come to me and you say to me joey. I got to talk to you. I talked to three dealers
But I'll tell you what this dealership is closer to my house. You have a great service department
And I like how you treated my kids
I like how you treated my wife. You treated them with respect. You gave my kid lollipops
Even though you tried to show a picture of your dick
No, just kidding
But I want to buy the car here. You gave me a great price. It's the same price as everybody else
Uh, but something you know, I would say
The fucking the things that you put on the side of our forerunners that's that the stool that you step on
Whatever the fuck, okay, you know, it cost a dealer 49 bucks and they sell it for 750
I would say what's the core? I would make a big production of it. Listen. This is 750
I'm gonna give it to you for cost
And the fucking people will look at me and I go yeah
150 bucks
And there we go. I'd still make 50 bucks or something and I'm giving and the guy's going. I think I gave it to him a cost
Even though we're making 100 bucks profit on it
You know, you have all this high thing
I'd rather deal with you on some things and give you other things to give you value
Right if it cost me nothing
You know, when you go into a fucking restaurant, they charge you 250 for a soda
On the way out, you should blow that place up really an iced tea when somebody charges you $3 for an iced tea and a $3 refill
You should come back with a bomb and some ices dude strap to it and blow the fucking place up
Because that's their profit nothing
Kills me more than when places have cans of soda at restaurants
Why because that means there's no refill. So you're paying three bucks for a can
Can't eat people do that. Yeah, that's the mother fuckers
But there's so many tricks. I loved all those things
When I worked as a salesman, I always gave you something to do business
I always felt that you have to make an investment towards this person for them to do business with you
That's what I always felt. I don't know how hard is it for you now with uh,
Like a baby like with the service like people
Bringing the food for her right away like not waiting for you
Horrible
We went to a place the other day and my wife has been there three times and she goes every time
They bring my food first and they leave her out here by herself for 10 minutes. It's just spaghetti
It's just spaghetti with ragu on it. Oh my gosh, and my wife goes on on the sanders and the guys got kids
It's common sense waiting tables all that type of fucking work
It's it's it's a little common sense and you can make 200 extra dollars a night
Cash cash that nobody knows dick. Well, now they know everything now. They fucking they're banging out wait staffs
They make you that you're supposed to write down your tips, but oh all I would ever write down is my credit card tips
I'm up for fuck them with my cash
But yeah, back to the fucking cake thing that's why I put it on because oh shit. That's I forgot that's a word
No, no, I don't give a fuck. That's what I really respect her a lot
I really do and I see what she does and I've been looking at her for like 18
Two years. She's blowing up recently. Yes. She has yes. She has
Listen, I I enjoy going out at night and having a young comic or a comedian make me laugh
I love it. I love going out at night. Sebastian. That's not we sat there watching Sebastian
Dom Rera and Bobby Lee and you know
It's fun
It really is fun when I sit back. I love it. I fucking love it
I love it and I see the holds and I you know, it's a different fucking game for me
But I fucking love it, you know
And when I see a young comic in that round, right that scratching at the door tony hinge cliff
You know, I remember red is easy when he was scratching at the door
And I remember going this kid's a star and him going to me. I don't know what's going on. I mean going dog
Listen, this is what's going on. You're you're knocking on the door. This is going to happen. Boom a year later
Because you see these people that they're relentless
the
The status quo
They take these people sometimes that are one hit wonders
And then they disintegrate on their own you put them in such a platform at such an early age in montreal and give them all this praise
It's like rafi was talking about that kid that killed himself. Yeah, uh, whatever his name was. Why could do whatever his fucking name is
Nice rooster rooster chicken chicken, you know, they put him on such a pedestal and then he felt that times you couldn't cover the fucking spread
You know how hard it is to be putting that pedestal a young fucking age
The only way to write material is to live a life
And to really churn it out once you really start kicking it's when you're churning out material about your life and your fucking downfalls
And all the stupid shit that's happened. Everything else is background music
I don't even know what the fuck I was saying 10 fucking years ago, but I knew I was onto something Lee
I knew I was onto something
Must be frustrating very frustrating. That's why I give these young people the respect they fucking deserve
I know what they're going through and I know how hard it is to wake up in the morning and say I'm doing this another day
For a girl like that. You think she needs that?
Listen that girl could walk into any restaurant pick up any 40 year old guy and her say listen from now on you're paying my rent
I want a beamer. I want this. I want that. I'm gonna suck that pipe
Till there's a fucking sperm drought in your dick. You understand? You think california's got a drought
I'm gonna suck the sperm till it's drought free your fucking helmet
But you're gonna pay my bills and she could just give up
Go to auditions and give up. I'm telling you right now
There's creepy old guys here that would fucking do that in LA that's filled of a town
They're dying there's a girl that goes to the economy store
That has a house on lower cane that's paid for till next year. She's a friend of red bands
Some old guy bought the fucking house till next year like leased it for two years for her
She was fucking him a year ago, but his wife called him with some shit mother fucker
hysterical
She's a fucking 20 year old girl. But yeah, she looks like a super mom
These guys are like listen, let's do this. How about I give you three thousand a month?
Give you a car pay for your house
But I'm coming over once a week and I'm shooting fucking dick on you like a like a fucking fountain of sperm

She doesn't need to work this hard. She can hook up with any agent she wants at any of these places cAA apa. She's not doing that
That's what I give her the respect she deserves
So if anybody

I can make this hard and beat myself up and do this and do that or I can just go up there and beat myself
I really don't give a fuck. I'm paying for it myself. So I really don't give a fuck how it really turns out
It's our little project
And that's all this is about. It's just a little project. We're doing if it works out
We'll start for five bucks online if it doesn't work out. We'll put it on youtube and light on fire
I don't fucking know Lee, but you know me. We're in what we've got to lose
What have we got to lose? Netflix is not going to give me a special comedy central is not going to give me a special
HBO is not going to give me a special. Everybody gets a special. I don't get a fucking special. I don't give a fuck though
Do you think I'm gonna stop me? I'm gonna go home and cry. No, I'm gonna go home and pick up my fucking crayons
No, you fuck what we're who fucking resourceful here. We come through the back door with a big dick on the smile
You understand me who shows up with a big dick on the smile
Unless you got a fucking 32 ounce coke and fucking new york super fight junk. Nobody cocksuckers
I'm feeling good. I was feeling a little fucked up for a few days. Why I told you guys on monday that uh
I really thought about
Brian sickler and I talked about that night and uh, there was some crazy fucking stories, you know me snorting coconut cop car
and there was so many fucking things I was doing and
I wish I could sit 20 of those people down and go listen, man
I was just crazy. I was in such pain that I was just fucking crazy
But when you think of all those stories put together
Like I really want to apologize to the benders
I just don't know where to start
And the way I lied to john
You know his mom always fucking knew
You know and john asked me to move in there. He was my friend
But me and john and two different people. I like doing drugs and listening to fucking music and
You know going john won't listen to the Beatles and and and not drink and not do anything and fuck ugly chicks
I mean nobody slept with ugly women and he did I never saw nothing like that
Maybe don't include that in the apology. What's that?
We don't include that part of the poll everybody goofed on him about the women. He would sleep with this shit
I mean, you know, he slept with every fucking rotten-looking women ever fucking invented
I'm sorry. He's such terrible taste. No. No. No. No. No. No. It's uh
It's just been very touching me like I've been writing a lot about it
And how I felt, you know at that time so I could put the little notes in the book
Leah it's it seemed like looking back on it like I didn't stop like I was talking to
sickler about
Even like it started a year before my mom died. That was pretty much independent as fuck
You know, I had to hit the number
I would sell little weeds from time to time. I got involved in selling some fucking mescaline and some fucking
And then she died and I really enjoyed selling those fucking drugs. I really fucking did I was good at it
I was good at it. I'd show up to the high school to be 30 chicks waiting to fucking play hooky and do acid
I'd sell each hit for three dollars. I was surviving. Do you have snacks for them?
No, no fucking snacks. I had mescaline. I didn't I had business savvy in those days
I mean to stay alive and sell drugs when you're 16 and 17 and so go to east drowsberg every fucking saturday and pick up
You know, I would go and have to deal with these guys. I never thought about guns. These guys were the coolest white kids
They were kids. They were college kids. They just made drugs
You imagine that being in college and making they were making fucking drugs Lee
You know, I always exaggerate because
It was there was four of them
Okay, it was four students and they lived there weren't students two of them had graduated already
And just didn't want to get a job because they were making so much money processing this
But there were chemistry majors. Okay, like the guys with the ball that like the gray hair or something
Yeah, there was two there was four of them in the in this house
and
three of them
made it
One guy was like a the helper. He was a chem
I don't know what he was
But these guys made drugs
way before
Like anything crack houses or any and nobody knew about it
Because the guy that turned me on to them had been buying drugs from these guys for two years prior
Okay, and they had they but these guys were young
That the two guys that had graduated were probably 23 24
And the other two guys were undergrads like 19
18 maybe
These guys had
Not just me selling drugs to in the wholesale level
They had 20 fucking cars driving in every week from indiana all acid
They sold weed
Which I didn't want to transport
Why would I buy weed from the left to drive from pennsylvania? I had weed right there in new york city
That I didn't really want to sell
That main thing was black beauties
Black beauties were a type of a speed. There were diet pills
And you had to get them over the counter
A doctor was remembering the movie with liberace. He was eating black beauties. Okay in the 70s
They were big these guys were making pharmaceutical strength black beauties
How I know because the people I was selling them to were people who bought them over the counter
So they were they were copying the formula they were copying the form these guys were tremendous with this shit
They were making that that was their main source of fucking thing and it came in like a protein jar
Okay, and a thousand of them were coming there and they would sell me a thousand of them for 35
Fucking dollars
What and I would sell each one for a dollar
Do you understand the profit margin I had there? But if you were a good customer, I'd see you in the hallway and just throw one in your hand
Just to get your spot. You got these. Yeah, I got them dog
I would sell you 35 for 100
So I had five customers when I came back with a thousand
Okay, before I even went to east brownsburg. I'd have six customers that wanted a hundred a piece
Okay, so and they give me 35 dollars. Okay, so right there
I made 200 fucking bucks, right? Right and I'd come back and get I'd buy two jars. So I give them
They're fucking uh 600 and I keep 400 and sell those for a dollar a piece
I'd still make six hundred dollars on that fucking
thousand
Well, and then I'd take the other one to sell those for a dollar a piece
I was making I was selling a thousand a week
Do to kit the wrestlers
That wanted to make weight and I just didn't have north bergen wrestlers. I had north bergen. I had west new york
You know, I had their coaches coming to me and buying them a thousand a hundred for 35 dollars
You have no idea how good these fucking things were
I didn't I wasn't hooked on them. But one night I went to a party
And there was a couple of broads day and we were eating these things and drinking zambuca. Oh
I was up for two fucking days jack in high school
Well, listen to the volume four me and these dirty white chicks on boulevard east and shit
These pills were tremendous. They're tremendous. And then when I get fucked up, I would snort them some nights
Some nights you just pop them open and do a little fucking blast when you wear generos down in hobo
I swear to fucking god
So they had that and then they made acid they made what's called blotter acid
Blotter acid is acid that comes on a sheet of paper
Okay, so they would sell you a hundred hits the size of this note, but even smaller
It would be uh, whatever. I don't even fucking know and it came in little hits
And there would be a hundred hits on this sheet
And he'd give me those for 90 dollars and I'd sell those for three dollars a piece
Wow
And this was every so I would pick a big lab in their house or something
How did they make all this down? They had a house and downstairs is where they did everything
They made these other things that they called mescaline
Mescaline everybody knows this was like a fucking cactus or something like that
But they called it mescaline. It was micro dot acid. It was just a dot
a dot
And they would charge me 140 for a hundred for those but fucking you would see the devil
And I would fucking crush those things and put them in a pipe and smoke those motherfuckers with the gajulo
Oh, yeah
Fuck yeah, we used to go deep
so between the ups and the fucking and the
The ups is the ups was my spending money the ups is my spending money
The ups was how I got slices of pizza and Chinese and shoes for school
After my mother died that was how I did that the other money was the money I put away
Plus I had
And then so when cocaine came I got that money and invested in cocaine
So now I was making money with the ups and the acid
But I was losing money with the cocaine because I was starting like a fucking junkie that I am
You could have been like a trillion there by now
If you hadn't been that I
Listen
In this world, I could have been a lot of fucking things. I wish I would have fucking been smarter when I was young and looked around
but just
All that shit that I was doing and people
The reason why I hurt the benders was because I was living a life that
They kind of knew but they didn't know
You know, yeah, I was sitting there with mercy
My wife was in the kitchen
And I'm sitting there and it's 8 30 at night
And I said just for a minute. I tried to be the benders
You know just open the front door walk in say hello, jimmy
Say hello, mrs. Ben. I go to my room. I'd walk out and get on the their phone
I make a few calls. I jump in the shower. I get dressed
Open up the refrigerator on the way out make a ham and cheese sandwich
And shoot and they'd say where you going? I'm gonna go off
I get back this one. I was a junior in high school. I'd walk back in the door. I fucking wanted the morning
One thing in the morning
Every night every fucking night. I never stayed in there
Never never not even for me staying in meant I walked to a villas and we just smoked 25 hours worth of marijuana and this shit
That was staying in those days. Why wouldn't you want to stay in?
It was a fucking thought that I could not fathom because if I stayed in the pain would creep up on me
Shit if I was moving
Doing my thing chucking and jiving talking to people selling drugs the pain didn't creep up on me
It's when I tried to rest early
I'd have to get drunk to go home and pass out
So I wouldn't have to go home and go oh my god till I missed my mother
Till I missed my old life. I would that's how I lived that I would my goal at night was just to pass out
I could not even deal with going home and putting my head on the pillow and being able to think
You know in those days I would wake up
um
And I hope this doesn't happen to anybody
This happens when you get divorced or when you lose somebody which is the same fucking difference
You know, you don't know what it's like to open your eyes in the morning in that pillow and not know where you are
But within five minutes the pain just reeks out of your stomach
You know, you just have this pain in your fucking stomach. That's the pain. I had when I got divorced
The first time and well the only time and the pain I had when my mom died. It's just waking up and
You know being so fucking confused from pain and whatever was going through that
You just have this fucking not in your stomach. It's not even a not in your stomach. It's pain
It's like a hunger pain and you wake up and you feed yourself
And then you get involved in your day. So the pain goes away
And you know, I'd smoke a joint or whatever and get my friends and crack jokes in a car and
Go to class and pay attention. You forget about all that shit
It was when I was by myself
That they creep up on me, you know, you gotta check on your fucking skeletons from time to time
If not, they'll check on you, you know, so
That's what was going on. So I didn't
Stay in it was
No fucking way
So do you feel like you disrespected them apps of fucking louis
apps of fucking louis from a dizzy and my behavior afterward
apps of fucking louis
I mean, wouldn't you think they would understand? Listen, I even disrespect the car line in many ways
I disrespected the bazanos in many ways. I disrespected the Garcia's in many ways
You know, I disrespected a lot of people from the neighborhood
Even when I was robbing drug dealers, they didn't know because they really didn't know them. They knew them
You know, at that time it was the early 80s
If you were a coke dealer, nobody knew who you were unless you did coke
But all those people were neighborhood people that I robbed it wasn't like
You know, they were like, I was going to the Bronx and robbing drug dealers in those days
I was robbing people that were amongst us. Yeah, some of them were in favor of people people didn't like them or whatever
You know, I get caught up with them buying drugs or whatever the fuck. Maybe it's just my actions
You know, carlo still talks to me and deedy, you know, I had a good relationship with them growing up the ovillos
I was over there all the time in those days
And I talked to steve every fucking week, you know, we might go to pink floyd together in april. I mean, that's cool
Yeah, it's it's
I'm very proud that those people are still my friends because they know what I went through
I never got into a beef with them. You know, in those days when I came up on you
I never knew what the result was going to be in our friendship
Because you know deep down inside if you've had something I wanted and I just want it
You know, in those days for me to get rid of the pain, I had to have chaos in my day
You know what that's like to have chaos in your day
Do you just mean non-stop movement? What do you mean by chaos is drama?
Who wants to talk to you who's looking for you you would seek it out? Absolutely. Oh, absolutely
Because you know, there's no I would gamble and not pay the people and then hide for three days and who's not looking
I got off on that then
I got off on doing all that dumb shit that I could I got killed though. I'm very lucky
Was it just so like to keep your mind off everything? Is that all it was?
I don't know. I just my life had to have conflict that if not, it didn't click
After all that there was a time from 81 to 85 if I wasn't involved in something
My life didn't click if somebody wasn't looking for me
If I didn't know somebody money
If I was it just did not click I never ended up finishing the movie, but
Have you ever seen the gambler?
What's his name I saw the original and I tried to watch the woman marky mark
And they switched it up, but I didn't understand it. So I stopped why I think I wasn't a plane
It seemed but it seems like kind of what he was doing is what you're like, you're like self sabotage. Yeah, you're just self sabotaging yourself
I self sabotaged myself
All the way to fucking 91 when I was doing drugs in the halfway house and they caught me
And I was doing great. I was doing great fucking great
Doing fucking phenomenal. I could not be doing better for those standards
I had a job. I had a car, you know, I had a girlfriend. I was engaged. I went to work. I made money in my job
You know, but no, I do stupid fucking shit and get fucking hammered
You know, I was the only idiot that had a three month sentence in the halfway house. I was in there for like a year in a month
Yeah, you know, I tell you guys this story. Yeah, because I kept failing fucking piss test
And that was the only thing everything else was money. I never got caught doing anything else in that house
One time, you know, you weren't allowed to drive unless you had permission
I drove the first day with or without permission. Thank god. They didn't catch me
But there was a couple times they pulled up right next to me
And I mean bold is not a big fucking city guy at that time. It wasn't
Jesus christ
If I didn't have fucking conflict
There was no happiness
If somebody didn't if I didn't owe money if I didn't rob somebody
If somebody left so many stories if somebody wasn't missing money from their house, there was no conflict. I would not rest
Oh my god
Do you still do it? No, you don't see me bar. No, I don't know. Maybe you're good at it. Maybe do it like like in secret now
You would hear about it if I created conflict, wouldn't you if I went down to the store and let a car on fire
You hear about this shit
Maybe there's no conflict really
There's either you want conflict in your life or you don't
Okay, so if I put a shirt on right now and put a swatch stick on my forehead
I'd have a conflict within an hour. Wouldn't I less than an hour
Okay, then if I went to Beverly Hills with a swatch stick on my forehead
And with a white shirt on just walked around saying vote for me. This is really commando's down there
How long would it how long would it take though? That's creating conflict on yourself. Sometimes you don't need to do that
It's in your body language. So
If you if you could like think about yourself back then
How would you have reacted to k quickly?
Would have been different
I would have caused me to k quickly
The first night I met that dirty bitch
There's no two ways. I would have fucking uh
I would have no would you really respect her as a comic
Or is that something you had to learn if I would have met k quickly when I was 18
No, I'm lying to you guys because I had friends that were better looking than k quickly when I was 18
I just knew I wasn't gonna get with them. So they were my buddies one of my best friends growing up was a girl named Regina Gordon
Her mother had died also. So when my mother died, she was one of the first people to call me
And her and I always had like a weird bond. She always dated good friends of mine
But she always cheated on a good friend of mine with other guys that were friends of mine
So they would always come to me and ask me fucking stupid questions about her
But Regina was the person who warned me in 95 in 85
About certain people looking for me. I saw her at a bar called the spot
And I always loved her after that. And you know what she used to call me in colorado for years after that
Wake up people looking for me and you know, I just gave her numbers
You can't get hold of me call leo get hold of me. She'd call you a four in the morning. Where's joe deez?
Go fuck and get them. Fuck always. She wouldn't even know who you are
But I had friends that looked like that that I just knew I wasn't gonna get with so am I gonna be creepy around them
I'd rather not be friendly and make them a fucking
An ally
You know, right and not and if you listen to her she's she's a
She's the dirty freak, but not really. It's not like she's out every night getting laid
She's looking for whatever be else looking for in life. Love. Yeah, that's it
And she'll know when she finds it. You know what I'm saying?
It is hard to imagine like being a hot girl. I'm like not being able to find a guy
Like it just as a guy who has trouble getting girls
Like you see a girl like that. You're like, well, you think I was fucking rich a gig growing up
But you think I went into bars and picked I didn't pick up nobody
I never picked up a fucking woman in the bar growing up when I was a kid
You know, yeah at four in the morning. I could come up to a woman and go
I got a grandma blow. Do you want to come over the house?
That's completely different of somebody being interested in you your fucking piranha and their addiction
And I piranha on their addictions. That's the only reason why you think those people woke up in the morning
And wanted to hang out with me
Afterward fuck. No, they took them looking me and go. Oh my god. I gotta stop doing below
Tell me lord. I didn't suck his dick. Tell me lord. Please tell me and I'd be all smiley with red cheeks
These nice cream and shit, you know
No, Lee. I'm just as bashful as fucking you are but
Think of the guys that she attracts
Because she dresses the way she does and she does the shit that she does
She attracts a certain type of savage
Right, you know a guy that's like as christian fucking morals
Is going to be intimidated by fucking Kate. Don't get me wrong. There's some of those christians
They'll fucking do anything to get into that fucking pussy, you know what I'm saying, but
She's a beautiful girl. It's tough being a fucking good looking girl
You know, yeah, you might marry the fucking high school quarterback, but most of the time, you know, it's a 50 50 fucking shot
These girls don't have fucking crystal balls
It's true. Like I said, man, when you're looking for all that the thing I was always looking for
With somebody who had my back at all times, that's it without
Talking shit, you know, there's women that talk shit. There's women that don't give you a chance
But there's men that do the same. How many fucking men do women bad every fucking day?
That's true. I just didn't know if
If your respect for female comics is something you had to learn or if it was always there
My respect for females was always there because of my mother, you know
We all make fun of strippers strippers are a big laugh
But sometimes I look on the stripper and I see myself
I see the saying that's just something you had to do
Didn't wake up when there was a sophomore in high school
And go I want to be a stripper
When you go to see your counselor sophomore year in high school remember when he starts to talk to you about fucking
What classes you have to take and you know, you
Not all those women go in there and tell the guidance counselor. I don't need this. I'm gonna be a fucking stripper
right
But that's I mean, I can see the comparison, but I don't think it's the same. Well, you get caught up
What wasn't the same? I carried a gun. I sold coke. I tried to rob fucking people, you know, what's their comparison
What's their reality? So their reality is they go in
They make some quick money to get hooked on whatever to pay for their addiction
Whatever they want to do that like nice cars next, you know start giving lap dances, you know what?
There ain't nothing wrong with sucking the dick for 200 bucks. They suck limited dicks
Okay, it's not like they're fucking classify the ads and not like that. They're very discreet very discreet
500 here a thousand there
Some guy wants to smell your asshole for 200 the VIP room those guys at the right
They want to jerk off on your feet whatever the fuck you do you start doing that a couple days then what happens
One night you see the guy. He's whatever
He's got $2,000 fear back in the hotel room. You go back to the six guys there waiting for you
You get beat up or whatever you don't go to the cops, but you learn a fucking lesson and you turn your life around
What's the difference of what happened to me? I went to prison and then and I still didn't turn my life around
So hopefully they get this beaten
They get fucking a couple dicks in their asshole
They go home
And they get a new life and they never tell nobody about that night
Because deep down inside the reason that drove them to do that was not feeling good about themselves
Those people like that go to the cops and say I went to a thing and I got right
You know, you got to prove it and this and that and you got
You know swab and all that shit. What do you think happens to these women? So now these women have a choice
This woman could get to the savings. She has
Get off drugs
Get a job in an office meet a man and have a child and live her life normally
Right or she could go back to the strip club the next day
Okay, if I would have came out of there and bought another machine going to start taking down drug leads
You think you and I would be having this fucking conversation right now. I think probably not. Okay. No
So those women that we all goof around strippers. That's why I don't go to strip clubs
You think I don't go to strip clubs and I'm like pussy. I love naked fucking women
But when I go in there, I feel that the same thing I felt at 18 and 19
The shit that I don't that I'm living with now that I don't want to live with like the last week
It's been like I told my wife on she goes. I knew there was something bothering. Yeah
That was a fucking wild five fucking years
But I never answered to for nobody
For all your actions you have to answer to
I never I am with the prison guy and that paid for that
Thing but it's the same thing man. Sometimes you just catch a bad break in life
Are you gonna fly back and talk to them face to face or like what is your?
There's some part of me wants to apologize, but the other part of me wants to leave that dogs lie
Why are we gonna run for feathers? I'll make good somewhere or another eventually on my own
I don't know where to start Lee. This isn't my name is fucking arrow that I'm making letters
I don't know it's it's it's even things. I didn't do to anybody
It's things that I did that I disrespected myself and who the fuck I am
The only thing I'd say is sometimes it's
Like if we if you have something that you're as you're always worried about
It's it's sometimes better just to see what happens
Like to get it just get even though even if it might suck just get it over with and then you then you don't have to worry about it anymore
Well, I'm not worried about it. It's just
listen
I had this box
My mom had this box upstairs in the attic my mom had a lot of boxes in the attic
But she had this box. It was like a like a shoe shine box
But it was really a box
And if you saw it you just thought you put your foot on it and they shined your shoes
But it was really a box right and then that box was my birth certificate
With some pictures of me and my dad from Cuba
There was an insurance policy in there. There's a couple pictures of my sister
You know those fucking boots you wear when you were a kid and they get them bronzed
Right. They were in there. There was a lock in my hair in there
There was
Just miscellaneous stuff. Did you know about this before before she passed away or no? Oh, yeah
Yeah, I used to put shit in there report cards and I got my name came out in the paper ones for basketball
and
Just neat things little sayings that my mom wrote in there and shit like over the years about me
And when my mom died I had all these boxes, but I had my eye on that one
I didn't know where to put them. I was gonna put them in storage and my mom's friend
Martin the fag my thing and money go
He was a drug dealer and he was a good dude. He looked three blocks away from me. He goes. I'm gonna put the fucking
boxes in my house
He goes any time you want to come over and get stuff out of the box
well
See the box
Call me and you come over and see the box
I didn't want to look at the box anymore after my mom died like six months after that
One day I saw the writer or my god mother like have you gone over there and sat with the box?
And I'm like no, I haven't gone over there sat with the fucking box. All right, but you know what if it's a big deal
I go over there sat with the box
I went over there. I looked opened up the box. I nearly had a fucking heart attack
It was my kid stuff. It was just a bunch of stupid shit. They wanted me to go sit over there with the box
The box was supposed to have like some spiritual fucking meaning in my life, right?
I go over there a few times I go in the room. He goes in the kitchen and watch tv
I go in there sit down. I open up the box. I have a little nervous breakdown. I cry a few tears
I wipe my tears. I close the box and I would leave
One day I went in there the daytime
And I opened the box and I had a little nervous breakdown
But as I was wiping my tears I looked at another box that he had
And it was open weird and there was a baggie sticking out of it
So I went over and they opened up the fucking baggie
And under that baggie and another under that baggie and under the other baggie. There were big baggies to fucking blow
So I took some of the coke out of the little baggie and I put it in like a dollar bill
There must have been like 18 grams in there. Oh my god, okay
I took like five or six and put them in a dollar bill like a piece of paper
Whatever the fuck I had and I put in my pocket. I closed the box. I closed my box and I fucking left
I went over there again
And I opened up my fucking box and I would cry whatever the fuck
And one day I said fuck it. I'm robbing all the fucking blow
Every time I went over there look over there and he had fucking 20 fucking bags of blow over there
Maybe four or five ounces, maybe six, maybe 10. I don't fuck him now
His blow or was it like your mom's blow? It was his fucking blow. My mom was dead
I didn't know but I didn't know she was like hiding below in the ceiling
How's my mom gonna be dead hiding fucking blow Lee?
Okay, so
I robbed this guy
But I fucked up the night I robbed him. I took the coke and I left the box
I left the box
That was the only time in my life. I sold my fucking soul Lee
I want that box back. You don't have it. No
What does he want for it? He's gone
He's gone. Who the fuck knows where he's at. That was 30 fucking years ago
When I went back in 91
I mean he was looking for me for a while because I robbed this fucking blow people were telling me was fucking looking for me
People are you know, Martin the fag wants to talk these around town looking for you
And I went to colorado the whole fucking thing was forgotten
I walked around jersey. I didn't see him and then I went to colorado for six years when I came back in 91
I said I gotta go down and see martin the fag and get my box
My friends lived upstairs from martin the fag. I bumped into the sister and I asked if martin was still there
And she goes no he moved like three years ago. He didn't know what happened
The brother owned the spick store on the corner we were kids
And they used to make the best fucking steak sandwiches over there for lunch
He got into a fight with his wife
They argued the cops came they arrested him for domestic violence
He fucking hung himself in the jail cell
So I guess she closed the shop moved back to Miami with fucking martin the fag her brother her brother-in-law
So do you think it's possible to get the box back?
You ready for this? I'm ready
I do this fucking thing at Marie T. I gotta I gotta call one day in 2014 from this company
And they want to do a video me talking about my youth
And I meet them and we start and they start asking me questions about new york city
They want to know about new york in the 70s
And they're asking me these questions and I described who I lived with blah blah blah blah blah blah
who I hung around with
Shot a video that was it went home never thought about it again
About six months later. I get hit up on twitter
This girl watched the video
She was in vegas one time when they did a show at rogue and she came up to me this girl
And she goes I had a dream about you have to listen to some story
My friend's gonna talk to you about something. I don't know what the fuck she was talking about
Well, she contacted her friends and I went to see this cuban kid
From new york city the girl went online looked at the video and caught the video I did
For the dude and it's her mother-in-law that I was talking about. Oh, yeah
She hit me up on twitter and she goes. I know who your godmother is
And we have your fucking box
Oh, then we went to Miami when I went to Miami last year
So do you have the box now? I got the box
Have you looked at it? Yeah, I looked at it
It's like fucking my soul
It's like the box that
The guy was looking for and pope friction was revolting the black guy went over there and shot the people
It was his soul
Then when they went to see that fucking black guy and he had a band-aid on his neck, right?
That's that whole thing. I mean, I'm not saying it was my soul. So but it's weird how I sold my soul
And I got it back 34 fucking years later
Why haven't you talked about it until now?
Because I didn't know how to tell the story. I didn't know how to describe what had just happened
How you could lose something that you fucking gave up 34 years ago for a bag of blow
And I got back these are all the second chances I got
So because of that and all that I just been feeling fucking guilty
I caused a lot of havoc Lee
I caused a lot of havoc among good people
I had a really bad energy in those days if I came around you Lee you'd get a flat tire
Like that's how much of a kiss of death
That's why I know what the kiss of death is because I was the kiss of death for a long time
That's why like I think
I don't even know how you would do it, but if you could just get it off your mind
Because they they it's 40 years ago. They're probably letting it pass. Let's give some shout outs. All right, john valentine 2
glenn

Fuck you. You know nothing. Hey four of them. I'm still over here fucking uh
John blazing it by myself cocksucking all of a sudden you're depressed. So yeah, that's what's going on man, but I
I just uh, you know
I don't know where to start. I just feel really bad about that time. That's it. That's all I want to say
And since we got family and they listen to this shit. I want to know, you know
It's funny. I mean, there's some great fucking stories with the denny's on that ryan sickler podcast
There's some great. I mean, there's just some great shit. But you know the denny's I
I never took a driving test the denny's uncle owned a driving fucking company guy came over
I didn't even take I didn't take the car around the block. He gave me a driver's license for like a hundred bucks
You know, this is the fucking crazy life. I live who the fuck do you tell this shit to?
That's hysterical
I bet doesn't make you a bad person
Everything I did in those days was badly
Everything I fucking did, you know, even like an except hanging out with villo and conty and smoking dope with those guys
When I was a sophomore, but everything else I did. I was the kiss of fucking evil
All my thoughts in those days. I was so twisted
That all my thoughts were fucking evil man every decision I made
I made it without even thinking I didn't I didn't think of the consequences who I was hurting
And it's just a bad feeling even if it's just for a few years of my life
I still retained a lot of friends because they knew what I was going through and my sincerity and I always apologize and I'm honest with people but
Uh, it was just fucking tough, man. It's not to say the stuff that you did wasn't bad
But how long can you punish yourself for?
It's like I mean
If you don't like acting like that when I did that time, I wiped my hands clean
I said, this is the time I'm doing for all the bad things. I thought I did
You know, I got karma. I believe in fucking karma the kid. I lost the kid, you know my behavior with that
A lot of shit. There was a lot of fucking pain a lot of fucking, you know, a lot of insecurity a lot of fucking doubt
But you make peace with yourself and you move fucking forward and tomorrow's another day
You could just be that much fucking better the next day. I'm not gonna let my character ruin my destiny, bro
Not at all. If not, I'd be shut with some fucking lighters and you know
Eyeballing windows and shit like I used to I used to dog if I saw a window open my dick would get hard in those days
I was a fucking klepto fucking maniac. That's all you need is one open window
Lee, I didn't even need a window. Yeah any opening I would take anything if this jar was sealed
I would take it and go to Whole Foods and say I bought this here. Let me get my money back
Geez just full time. It's just a full time. It just never fucking ended. So yeah, I have some parts, you know
See, I mean you have some bad karma about
30 years later. Yeah. No, listen, man. I did it all with the comedy. I did it all
You know, I suffered fucking enough, you know, nobody fucking nobody think you you you think the drive was
The drive was the fucking pain the gasoline of this fury was the pain
It always is that's what sparks you there's got to be something that fucking sparks you
You know, you get cut from a professional basketball team. How much do you work?
Next time you try out for something, but your motivation is fucking pain
You know, you get fired from a job. That's easy because you didn't hustle
Next time you get a job, how fucking strong are you gonna be?
We don't get stronger as we go along we get stronger because we recover from different fucking pitfalls that we have
I mean, that's how it works for me
Do you think that's going away now?
what with
stuff like participation trophies and
and and like
Parents giving kids money all the time
Like do you think that like that having falling to fall down and stuff isn't happening as much?
I don't know. I don't know individuals lives and how they recover from different things
Yeah, listen Frankie Edgar isn't good because he's a great fighter
He's good because he could take a punch and he recovers well
And he gets his wits about him and that's what life basically is you're a fucking fighter
And from time to time you know, you kick them the fucking stomach
And it's if you sit there and have to take therapy or whatever or you go home write it out
And go these are my parameters and this is my fucking plan. I'm gonna attack this
You know, like I told you a thousand times I could have collected disability and you've been a felon
at the age of
Dirty I could have collected disability and told a bunch of lies and lived off of six hundred dollars a month and been content with that
There's people all content with that
That's crap. I mean, it's just it's
But you do you really think I was gonna stay hit
After going to jail not do some of my life to prove at least to myself that I had a little fucking value
And I'm not talking about doing movies all I wanted to was just survive and pay my bills
And stay out of trouble if I could do that that was success in my eyes
I'm not talking about eating at fucking restaurants and jet-setting and driving a Porsche. You know, that's what I that's not success for me
That's excess
Success is doing something with your life waking up every morning having a fucking purpose and do you think because you're getting more successful?
That's why you feel more you feel worse about it. No, I don't feel worse about it at all
I feel bad about that time in my life
I feel bad about that time in my life in many ways not just about the bad
I did what was going on around me
But is it intensified because you're doing well now? Not at all. It was always there
It was just when I wrote it out and discussed it
That it hit me back when he was on the first time
Look how much I forgot all about that chinese restaurant. Shit would run
He just knew how to press my buttons
And then he called me before I went on the podcast and he's like these are the questions
You know, I read and I said I don't want to know the questions
I don't want to have mentally prepared answers for you
But this is what he really wanted to know about on the drive down there. I thought about I'm like wow
If people only fucking knew it was an adventure every fucking day
It was an adventure every day
It's a crazy way to live your life. I mean at that age
You know Ralph. He was in here saying he had pt fucking sd. If he's got ptsd. What the fuck do I have?
I got something too. I got hitting that a thousand fucking times too dog

I'm gonna throw some kettlebells on tuesday. You're doing good. You were fucking throwing those things up. Yes
I really like the kettlebells. He killed us yesterday. Jesus christ
I went up to it because I had hurt my elbow so for two weeks
So I like the 25 pounders and then like yesterday we he pushed me to the 45
You're going to see Hassan tomorrow at 12 30. Yes, you're gonna have a good time trust me
Listen man. Yeah, I've been very the two things. I'm sticking with
Are things that have been
There's nothing like doing something and not having support or not having help, you know
When I first got into comedy
I had great help. I had great help from a kid named Todd Jordan
Uh, obviously they saw something of me like I see in Kate
I would help Kate. I would help
Any comic that I've had in that chair even comics. I don't have in that chair from johnny rock to riso
If I see somebody putting the work in
I would help them and create an opportunity for them. That's what you do as an older comic you teach, you know, you
You it's it's it's a brotherhood
Okay, it's really a brotherhood comedy. That's why when I got into this
I got into this because I was the impression that this is a brotherhood and for some comics it really is
For some people it's being in hell's angels. That's a brotherhood or in a gang or in the mafia
For me, this was my brotherhood. At least that's what it felt like
And then for a couple years
Uh, I got that feeling alienated from me when all that stuff went down at the store
But over the last couple years I feel the brotherhood again
You know, it's not all of us across the country, but in my realm it's Duncan
Ari Shafi is my brother. Joe's my brother. Brian Cowan's my brother
Tom Segura is my brother, you know, this Ryan Sickler is my brother. Josh Wolfe is my brother
Brodie Stevens is my comedy brother. What does that mean?
That I you know, I'm I got that back
That's that's what the privilege I got that if I if they're in need Greg Fitzsimmons
I have so many Jerry Rocha. I have so many comedy brothers. Gabriel Martin Moreno, Alfred Robles
I would do anything for them
Because they put the work in
With jujitsu
It's been amazing to support I'm terribly
But everybody wants to help me. There's nothing I could do for them. When I had to teach them how to write a Joe
What am I gonna do? Put them on TV? I can't put them on TV
But me going in there and being built like I am and being old or at least, you know, not 22
Inspires them and they want to help
Everyone's been very nice to me. I did so it's not it's and we once you put it out there
When you next time you come on here and you go, oh and hey bro, I'm gonna go to Boston
You're gonna get three emails from Boston saying hey, man
We'll pick you up at your house take you to jujitsu train you we got moves for you already
I think I'm a big little guy. You have small legs
Don't say shit like that to you. You're like, oh my god. Oh, no, they've been very nice
and in and hold on honesty
When I started they just want to start doing kettlebells. I just love that
I wasn't having a great time at jujitsu just because I'm so terrible because you know, it's hard
It's not easy work
But think of once you put a year in a crawling on the floor like a fucking iguana
And what happens to your body? That's a long time doing something you don't like who gives a fuck you'll like it
Trust me. You don't like it right now
Because you're not good at it. Yeah, nobody like that's why 90% of people quit in the beginning
Because they're not good at things
You know what you were a fucking terrible swing on the first week you went in there now you're swinging
You gave it a chance
All right, let's go though. Yeah, you listen. You know what happened when you did to that shit pushed your heart to the fucking limit
You thought your little fat little Jew heart was gonna blow up. Yeah, you know what nobody likes that
You either you're the first one to be uncomfortable
I was more uncomfortable than you are and I got more of a chance than fucking punching the ticket than you do
I didn't like it. You think I like feet?
You think I like men sweating on me and smelling armpits and people doing crossover and smelling an asshole in your face
But I've never been treated that way
I've never had guys stop and say hey man, put your arm there and choke me
Oh, no, everyone's always been super nice. So
Trust me on telling you never kicked off. You never kick a fucking horse in the mouth
That's offering you a sandwich whatever that fuck expression. I don't know what the fuck
You never kick a gifted horse in the mouth
Trust me on telling you what are you gonna do do that fucking elliptical the rest of your life
That's what you're trying to tell me and the kettlebells
right
That's what you're gonna do you're gonna do elliptical to your 50 because you know you stay off that elliptical for two months
You and mom it's all over the shop
Right, you know, they don't have to tie a string around you float you around the fucking town
So is that what you're gonna do till you're 65? I don't fucking think so get involved in the marshal
I don't give a fuck if it's doing a bone hour, but you can't sit on that couch three days a week four days a week
That elliptical that shit don't work for you no more. He's wasting your time
Ask the fucking steve the yogi guy
You're just getting whether what's the new expression you're getting skinny fat
Go throw some fucking kettlebells around you a 27 year old young man
I'll be any kind of skinny I can get in that fucking thing over there and get on the back and start choking people
Because if the shit goes down one day, how are you gonna protect them fucking your wife?
All right, trust me. You're always gonna be a little chubby. You're gonna have a big head. You can headbutt motherfuckers
So
No, but you pick that up you add that into your own little street jujitsu something goes down
You know paul's gonna be an attorney something goes down. You don't want to go to karate
You don't want to go to a psychic. What are you gonna hit him with a kettlebell?
No, you might as well learn something get involved with some kids that are your age
And still there's some fact. Oh fuck like me
And you have a complete different life
You're doing something else but right now you go to kettlebells on tuesday
You go to that gym the same parking spot every fucking day for the last 16 months to 55 minutes
And you go home. No sit-ups. No push-ups. No nothing else
You know why you almost fucking passed out of kettlebells because there was somebody there lee
Helping you pushing you a little bit
Yeah, and this is why people pay for personal training because if not
They'll stay on the elliptical and do the lowest thing they could do the rest
That's why I like kettlebells so much and one day you're gonna go for a run
There's gonna be an earthquake and a run and you're gonna go man. I'm not really in shape
How come I go there and I run 55 do an hour and five minutes and I'm like johnny fucking floating on air
But now I got a run from fucking Godzilla and I'm out of breath after a minute. Trust me, brother
10 years from now. You're gonna look at me and go dog. That's the best thing you ever said to me
I'll keep going listen man
A few people at home that I'm only listening for advice. I like listening to advice either
But the reason why I'm here is because of advice from somebody who cares for me and everyone loves it
It just seems like it's a long like I felt like those people just probably loved it from the I see people who love it from the beginning
The people that are involved in jiu-jitsu are people just like you
Everybody who walked in there from fucking what do you think hasan is in a motorcycle people fucking hasan's a
Mild man a guy that whole school was a bunch of editors at one time. There was six editors the rest of the computer nerds
We think walks into jiu-jitsu. Yeah, there's some guys that are top three or four
But the rest of them are guys like you that just go in there for a year shut their mouths get beat up for nine months
Lose 50 pounds
Get stronger than that that guy that scott ross the guy we had here that nerd the fucking writer guy
That guy that's been my brother for 15 fucking years
He wasn't built like that if he doesn't lift weights, that's just jiu-jitsu
his body changed
100% since I hung out with him in triply 17 years ago at the store. He just got his black belt from Eddie
Well, you see that and he's gonna be 40
Okay, so at 40 this is keeping you alive
Three days a week whenever when paul is breaking your balls when the podcast numbers are down and everything's fucking going down
Instead of parking over there and being around douchebags at that place
You tape your hand you put your little gi on you do some jumping jacks. You go over there and you choke men out
You're finished. They you get choked out. You see how come you come to death
But you didn't die you take your gi off you take your t-shirt off
You have a protein shake and you feel so much better about yourself
You know that fucking elliptical and do what do what?
It's time to all right. Don't do the elliptical at least go for a fucking run around north hollywood park

Everything is fine when you're listening to the d.o.g
I got the cultivating music that be captivating he who listens to the words that I speak as I take me a drink to the
middle of the street and get to mackin to this bitch named Shades
She used to be the homeboys lady
80 degrees when I tell that bitch, please raise up off these new tees. Did you get none of these at ease?
As I'm out with the dog pound feel the breeze be eye-chopped just
Rolling down the street smoking in and out sipping on dinner news
Lay back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind
Rolling down the street smoking in and out sipping on dinner news
Lay back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind
Later on that day my homie dr. Dre came through with a game to tangle race
And a fat ass jay of some bubonic product that made me choke. Shit. This ain't no joke
I had to back up off of it and sit my cup down
Sangre and chronic yeah, I'm fucked up now, but it ain't no stopping
I'm still poppin straight out some bitches from the city of Compton to serve me
Knocked with a cherry on top because when I bust my nut I'm raising the box to cop
Don't get upset girl. Let's just hot go's. I don't love you hugs. I'm out the dope
Rolling down the street smoking in and out sipping on dinner news
Lay back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind
Rolling down the street smoking in and out sipping on dinner news
Lay back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind
Rolling down the street smoking in and out sipping on dinner news
With my mind on my money, and my money on my mind
Rolling down the street, talking in and out
Sipping on dinner bills
With my mind on my money, and my money on my mind
