It was amazing There's something that was a great one. I never heard of a Chinese buffet till
Starting point is 00:04:18 1979 somebody told me that the Maikai on Kennedy Boulevard was a Chinese buffet and that they put the ribs up And I went there one time and it was fucking brilliant And I kept going back and the thing was to go there before the giant came like that was right in thing People were going to other bars me and this little crowd Which even if we didn't go to giant game we'd meet there cuz somebody always going to giant game and it was kind of empty It was close to a church, but everybody would go to the other who the fuck wants to eat Polynesian food on Sunday 11 30 But I'm one of the funniest times
Starting point is 00:04:55 I know my friend tell me listen to this it was with his brother and I've said this story on the podcast I mean we you know you start going to the power when you're fucking 15 and you're going to a Polynesian Chinese place you go in there you get high and you bust away this ball They fucking hate us. They fucking hate Lee. They fucking hate it. What did you do to them? Everything you could imagine. I remember one time we picked up the tray of spare ribs We're like, why are we gonna walk back and forth? This is a waste of time We're gonna kill these things because their mistake was they took really good sparrows and cut them in half Like a big bone in the very bone and they make cut them in half
Starting point is 00:05:30 So you have these 52 of them to get 26 of them. You know I would eat 20 fucking nine of them in those days I didn't do a fuck about my heart. I'm doing blow three days. I see a stack of ribs. They're going down Rice that everything all that Polynesians. It's Chinese Polynesian same shit You know that they have all the fucking things with the red sauces, which I stayed a fuck away from me too I avoid that shit like the plague with the red sauce, you know like that shit you dip in like the People get that fried stuff. Oh Is that what they brought me at that Chinese food place? We went to at the South Point like it was it wasn't duck sauce It was supposed to be like duck sauce, right?
Starting point is 00:06:09 If you're out of New York, yeah, if you're out of New York, New Jersey or Boston, you never order duck sauce They're not gonna give it to you I see I think you can't order what they think duck sauce is Completely different things is a complete fucking different thing the worst one for me is the mustard. There's almost no places you can go Yeah, they have the packages. Yeah, they have But listen, you're gonna put mustard on what a fucking dumpling or a spare rib I really had golden chopsticks is all right down there in North Hollywood right there by me I told you I wouldn't have one night
Starting point is 00:06:42 It was okay. Yeah, I don't even know what to get. What do you get? I always get the chicken broccoli with the chicken fried rice combo. It's tremendous. That's really really good stuff You live down by there. Yeah, well, I live right on the corner Yeah, cuz I live down right there, too There's one I like I haven't been to golden chopsticks, but there's one called China light China lights is good Yeah, yeah, that's one by your house. I mean yeah Yeah, the Cuban place is right. There's even worse. Is it really? Oh, you know, it's good though Was that teatye, which is right there? I want that is really good and then noodle monster is pretty fucking good, too
Starting point is 00:07:15 That's what's noodle monster. It's Chinese and Vietnamese and Thai it's like a fusion, but it's good. It's all right. It's okay. There's some I ain't walking in there It's too many countries You know, it's good that sushi place is fucking great Maya sushi or whatever. That's good shit there That's that's the He gave me edibles one said it were stronger than anything I'd ever had and I puked on that But I made the mistake of telling them that I had sushi for dinner So now he calls that sushi place
Starting point is 00:07:42 Oh I haven't been able to go in since it's been like eight months. I like so good, but now I just associate it with puking That wasn't the last time I was in Vegas I was like I didn't I hate being like on the strip after enough times I'm like so I went just walking to this Chinese food restaurant That was like I'm like, I don't know a little bit outside the strip. It was the weirdest place I've ever been through They just had Trays that were filled with food that they would just circle around the whole restaurant and it got packed
Starting point is 00:08:11 That's dim sum, right? Yeah, and it rides and they you could just pick like I want that one Let me get that one. Let me get some of that Like and it was all kinds of different shit away from like normal shit to like chicken chow mein to like this weird squid shit Like it was they just it was just constant. It was like a fucking train like family stuff. Yeah, dude. It was badass That was nice. That was really good. There's some really great, you know, I mean, whatever you're into this Right, you find something I feel that taxes life even when we used to tour early on I'm talking I know you're 15 years. Yeah, man. This is 2000. No pass on 2000. I'll pass. Wow I remember you didn't let me go home too because remember I wanted to drive
Starting point is 00:08:47 I want to go home early that sunday morning or whenever monday morning and you we both were staying a little bit longer And a pink Floyd documentary came on vh1 and you're like, where are you going sit down like you're not going anywhere We're gonna watch this remember that it was great, man. Yeah, that was god that was that was two that that was when The old the second club he had remember that with the giant elevated stage. That's where that that's where we were That's it was across the street from the old. Yes the one that was I started in the old one That was the one I really enjoyed. Yeah, I heard that was everyone said that was still the best one That was still the best one. Have you been to his new club once? Yeah Where's the new one? When was the last time you were there? I went to the one that's kind of near the airport
Starting point is 00:09:25 Like in the middle of town kind of Like I think that where he helped with the other guy helped him open it that other comedian or whatever forgot the guy's name But like that's the one. It's uh, shit. It's a kind of nearly Trevino. He just taken it's right there And it's up the it's up the street kind of the airport. I don't know if he's moved it again But I think that was do you believe you shot your first special. That's so weird on television. That's so weird Who shot the special gave gave produced it. We went up to uh levy live at club in nyak up there and Yeah, he packed it out because he you know, he put his name all over Just such a huge help, you know, and so we just packed the place out with like a real crowd
Starting point is 00:10:01 You know, it was really awesome. And yeah, he just let me run. He goes dude Do your time do it just you guys we need at least an hour end up doing like about an hour and 20 So we'll see what it was really fun. You know in your comic people at home You know think you have an agent and a manager and you have all that stupidity But I gotta tell you guys 60% of the time. It's another comic. No, it's another comic. No question. And it's uh It's a really nice bond. Yeah, people say comedy is clicky and it is very cliche And you have to accept that but the clicks that up. What's your mind?
Starting point is 00:10:37 No, I just I that annoys me because offices are clicky. This is just your office Everywhere. Well, everything is clicky. Yeah, for sure. But like But joy what fascinates me is when you have comic, you know that right that most of the help you're gonna get is from another Comedian from so many you have comics that are assholes. I never understand that It's like dude. Why are you sitting here burning every fucking bridge when you know that, you know The 90% of your help is gonna come from your own peers, right? So why would you be such a prick to everybody? I never understood that. I never got that, you know, I never got it either. It's so weird. I never got it either I
Starting point is 00:11:14 Assume it's like a jealousy factor. It makes a little hatred like you confuse hatred with jealousy. Yeah. Yeah, that could happen It's amazing how something shows up disguised as something else Uh I don't know. It's just a lot of things, but I'm happy that You know Joe's helped me a lot. I understand what helped me a lot. You know nix wants and we saw nick at the thing the other day You know, you have all these people from different walks And then you have different people that have an opportunity to help you or something
Starting point is 00:11:45 And they don't I don't want comics. They'll listen to this going well What do I do latch on to a comic? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no That's actually a turnoff. You know, I was talking to a guy last week the guy I worked with in Toledo bo Bo said he opened up for uh What's his name the really educated black dude that's on the always on HBO on what's el show dl and dl told him once now when I'm on these coasts, you're working with me Right, and he goes, you know, two guys help me chappelle and dl hughley. You know, it's we work together. They dig you And uh, and I dig everybody I work with on the road. I tell them if you come to la, you know, look me up
Starting point is 00:12:26 There's nothing nothing nothing we could do for you. Right. Right. Right. That's what comics get to miss This is the misnomer that we're saying comics could help you But there's nothing a comic could do for you. Right. There's different levels in your career where a comic could come in and go Hey, come on the road. Sure. Sure. Great feature act right and from there you take off and everybody I know You know from josh wolf went on the road with the cable guy, you know, chelsea used to open up a david tell Yeah, you hear these stories. So I I never want people to think you you have to put the work in you do Yeah, and eventually somebody will Pick you up and go listen. Are you a regular at the store? You're not let me call down there for you
Starting point is 00:13:04 At least get your show. Yeah, man. It's the people come out and they're here for one day and go. Hey, I'm here What can you do for me? I can't do nothing. No, that's you have to go out for a couple months Get yourself a little name Get the store to pull you and then I'll give you the push you need right you're following me It's like when you're all over the hill and all sudden you're like fuck I'm not gonna make it and three quarter re can show up and push you over That's what this is. We just give you a little push right after you've done the work Yeah, that's the easiest way to say a lot of a lot of people show up and are just like, oh, remember that one time
Starting point is 00:13:36 When you you know, I'm here and I'm like, okay Well, you want to go have lunch and we can hang out for a little bit But that's all that really can happen, you know and that goes a long way sometimes too a lot of people don't understand Like it's it's it's nice to just be able to you know when you first come to a town I didn't want anyone to help me. It was just nice to go see somebody I knew for an hour You know what I mean and go have lunch go, you know, relax. That was great Yeah, you can't like what can we do right now? Like it's out here. It's like shit, man It's you know, again, it's like nobody's gonna take a chance on somebody who's never heard of no matter who's plugging them
Starting point is 00:14:08 No matter who's you know, they just don't have time for that out here. That's that's the thing but even if you could like At most you could like book a room But even if let's say you introduce them to an agent and let's say they start booking them everywhere For comics it Even if you get booked it doesn't mean you're gonna be funny like you can't it's I mean it There's so much you have to do that. So I took yeah like a lot of guys don't understand They'll have a friend who hits right you see that happen too
Starting point is 00:14:32 We're so much from you know, some guy from houston has a friend who just got a deal or a show So they'll come out here and think oh, okay. I'm I'm next right and it's like no dude like, you know, it's you have to Yeah, they just want to get lazy and just wait, you know, it's like you can't do that like You know, it's yeah, like you said, you don't want anyone to get the idea You have to latch on to anybody You shouldn't do that because a lot of comics can kind of smell that they can kind of smell the They do they smell that they want to guess that and then amen You know, if you want to take somebody on the road, right? I live in LA. I live in LA
Starting point is 00:15:04 I got 90 guys no question in front of me that need work. I just met you I you know, that's the other partner right there that I just met you.

They want you to have a booking agent No booking agent's gonna sign you when you're making 500 a week. No, that's 50 dollars a fucking week from you And you got to turn on the lights.

I used to be a professional fucking tent I used to be a professional any kmart I saw this was before they all got onto different computers You had two free returns at kmart before they put you on file Oh, wow So if you went to kmart the first time we're like something $90 and said hi my brother got me these floor mats

Not really they just They just can't to see if they come from that store You know, I wouldn't walk out of the store I just take them and instead of walking out of the store to walk up to the counter walk right up to the counter Hi, I just and in those days. I didn't even think of looking at film. Right. They weren't adept to film yet, you know So I would go up to the counter and go I need these they give me back cash Okay, you go to that same store a week later You make sure the same girl's not working right the one I got these last week
Starting point is 00:54:06 Okay, and she'll give you receipt and they'll give you cash out of petty cash, but that I think the third time they'll fucking take your license in those days And write your license information now anytime after that you had a problem, right? Right, right, right? So I was banging this out everywhere anytime. I needed money on a triple when I just going to a came How you doing? I just bought this toaster for 200 Okay, sign here, you know 215 plus tax didn't give you the tax back That's fucked up when you're stealing tax from fucking k-mart And I'm banging these out in metropolitan cities. I'm going to baltimore to k-mart in those days
Starting point is 00:54:42 I went I worked denver and I lived in the denver area And I would dress up in the mornings This was my season the day after thanksgiving is when it starts and it goes straight to valentine's day When this time of the year was coming around I was excited because that meant there was no job Befront with joey. I had one job I had one job and I could break it into one day just go out and rob And this is how I lived from 94 To like 98 until I got busted doing it
Starting point is 00:55:13 In 96 or 97 and in uh twin falls I though wow I would just go anywhere. I saw came on walmart anything like that Just take some cappuccino machines or big all right, right 95 I was banging out 300 a day one cappuccino machine every mall I saw I banged out a cappuccino machine some days. I came home with 1500. Oh my god. I'm surprised I think it caught more Just like the different world back then dude. It was crazy 20 years ago. We weren't really Now no now they go. Okay. Let's look at the camera. They just go to a camera and they'll see you walked in with nothing You know what guys used to do back when I used to work at a vest buy way back in the days in the 90s they would take uh
Starting point is 00:55:59 They would hollow out a speaker box And just fill it with shit and so a box you would get like a big sewing for whatever speaker, right? You know, you know, it's tall remember those tall big cardboard box They would just fill it with product and they would just pay 120 bucks for that one speaker They would take the box of that we would get we get You know swindled that all the time And then you just leave and they forget all this product They would do to go return in another store some crazy shit
Starting point is 00:56:23 But it would make you can make so much money doing that It's amazing how smart people are I worked at CVS And people would take big like the big like old navy shopping bags And wrap it in tin foil and then put another one But try to make it look like just one bag Sure And the big thing they would steal was crest white strips And they would just go we had videos of people too
Starting point is 00:56:45 And running out so that's why like when you go like a CVS and you see like the weird stuff they have behind there It's because the people steal it You know what one time this when I worked at Best Buy this was I didn't I wouldn't even know that I was kind of bummed that I missed it But so they've gotten these new cam thousand dollar camcorders, right? I don't remember back best buys used to have Their back stock was sometimes up in cages above the regular aisles, all right? And so this kid was up there

This woman is like sir, can you help me please being really annoying? And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah And so he just rushes down to help her and she takes him over there and he leaves that cage wide open Dude like 30 of them were gone like 30 this where her husband went up Got them all and just walked right out like it was shit like that dude It was crazy how people and you just can't do that now.

Yeah LeBron takes a picture Tonight just us fucking around LeBron takes a picture of himself with a certain type of water
Starting point is 01:10:29 And the instagram thing he has a million followers, right 10 percent of people gonna buy that water. No question It just makes sense. Here's what you got to understand when I was a kid When I heard the beat I didn't like the fucking Beatles But when I heard that they went to india and did acid and came back and their music changed. Okay, that was one thing That was okay. That was one testimony Then I heard then I heard Hendrix used to put it on his band And it would sweat to his fucking yeah Into his eyeballs. I don't fucking know. I'm not gonna quote. I've heard that too. I know he ate a lot of acid
Starting point is 01:11:03 Okay, and I listened to his music and I was like god damn Then there were like three other people who I know they talked about acid So acid always had a high testimony with me. I knew eventually once I loved reefer like how much I really liked reefer There's a scene I called Lee right away. The reason why I like this narcos so much. Yeah is because I think the guys are great actor. You know what Pablo Escobar looks like. It's like this black kid that played james brown He did a great job as james brown. Yeah, but this guy has something. Oh, he's escobar. That's who's playing No, no, no, okay. This guy that's playing escobar and narcos is a brazilian guy. I've been knocks him for his Spanish Everybody who spanish is like when I went to see scarface. I was a little insulted at first. It doesn't matter. It's out
Starting point is 01:11:47 But she though who gives a fucking right, right? I don't care if he fucks up the words. It's a movie This guy it's not that he's created this He's such a great actor like I told Lee if this guy was english or australian Everybody would know about narcos. Oh my god. He's so good. But he's a fuck cover every magazine Right. He's a half respect. So fuck him. He's not that good. Look. He's skinny, but he plays fat Yeah, sometimes he goes like this with his stomach and he puts his sneakers on and he walks around and he plays fat But the beginning of episode wagner wagner mora the the beginning of The beginning of episode eight or nine. He's at the jail. They it's it's called la cratidro. Okay, laka federal
Starting point is 01:12:29 Yeah, and it opens up with him looking at a truck getting unloaded And you see it going into the port and they're like, what is it and the guys like it sheets plumbing materials It's uniforms for the guards. Okay. That passes it through. He pulls into the jail. They open with the back It's fucking filled with chicks bags of blow fucking fish tanks filled with lobsters You know a gambling casino people the guards are gambling the gambling casinos And people are yelling and screaming the women are going into the casino. They're playing cards. He's upstairs He's he's he's ahead of the fucking game. He's looking at the mountains
Starting point is 01:13:05 He's looking at what's going on. He's hearing what's going on And all of a sudden you see this thing in the picture that's going like this It's a pop plan The wind blowing he looks at the pop plan. So here in a fucking jail Like you just unloaded Yes casino material chicks They just unloaded a party in anybody's world in a prison. You're supposed to be in jail, right? But to top it off
Starting point is 01:13:38 You're growing weed the best weed in the world. He looks at the plant. He walks over to it You see him scrape through the fucking leaves. There's a bud hanging there dog. He gets the bud and he goes And he closes his eyes and I'm while I'm looking at him like only I would do something like that Like he's in heaven. He's sniffing that bud. They're all downstairs with broads and whatever He sniffs it. He looks at it. He clips it and he puts it in his top pocket and he walks That's the whole scene. It's a six-minute scene of him just inhaling the weed. You know, oh, that's great That's a testimonial like this guy. Yeah, I loved that hole So the first time I did acid I was like, I don't remember when or with who I don't remember
Starting point is 01:14:23 I know I liked it because it took my mind somewhere else And I was telling Lee that night when I got up the next one I hit Lee with 22 fucking ideas Acid is basically putting you in a room with no Let me tell you some guys you really want to write really good comedy Wake up get a cup of coffee or whatever you do in the morning. Don't turn nothing out Right, don't get stimulated by anything. No stimulation Sit there for two hours with a pen and a piece of paper Have your coffee let the coffee stimulate your little bit if you want to smoke a half a joint
Starting point is 01:14:56 Maybe take two puffs of a cigarette. Whatever you do No stimulation from television magazines. No thoughts Shubbed into your mind. No commercials nothing sit there for an hour and watch where your mind will go Do that for eight hours, which is unheard of but when you're in prison, that's what happens. That's what they mention solitude Because your mind goes somewhere else You get to a different level with your mind on your own terms When you do acid if it's really good acid It's fucking it'll break you down, you know
Starting point is 01:15:28 And Lee was like how many times did you do that going up and go after my mother died? I was so confused Sure, it didn't really matter what I felt like the acid would make me normal Right the acid I would go home at night and put on sabotage and that would give me the answer to all my problems If I wasn't the sabotaged or holding the sky That's I would be fine after I go to sleep like a fucking champion the next day I'd be energetic all my mind was on cylinders That's what acid is for me and it always has been over the years
Starting point is 01:15:57 I I haven't been that high like that way in 15 years. No 1985 was the real last time. I really really really got fucking Baked on acid like Jesus. I was seeing things and lights the other night I didn't get to that level But with another hit. Oh I would have gone right over the fucking Does acid have like a little bit of not speed but like yeah, rat poison. Oh my god. What? Rat poison
Starting point is 01:16:27 That's to get you all fucking amped. Yeah, because like it was crazy, man I I texted you in five at five in the morning. I know I was done already I was like and you wouldn't have been able to eat because once you go to go to get the breakfast The acid kicks back up because we would smoke the joint. See I keep the acid coming back with joints That's why I said to your sunday night. We're all 15 fucking joints Well, you didn't give me any I gave you one that we smoked one that night. We did. Yeah, but I need one I need one five in the morning. I started I organized my fucking bathroom It was great. It was like the letters were moving on my phone

I finally went to bed I think at 115 right I was so fucking high And I was laying on this side and I could feel my heart beating on the because once you start thinking about it So once I flipped over I didn't want my heart my wife to feel my heart beating, but once I flipped over I was fine. I went right to bed. I got up a couple times like I woke up thinking I can't believe I fell asleep We have those acid dreams and shit like that That's crazy. I I tried to jack off to like go to bed.

Starting point is 01:21:21 I hung out with these guys and they hated two bands the Beatles to hang out with these guys You had to hate two bands the Beatles and Bruce Springsteen Like Bruce Springsteen came out of the party. You had to leave or break the fucking record player Like that's it. Like you had to fucking do something to the record. You could be around the music No, we were not allowed to do music. I did not let them consider I had one front. I did to have a new freeze out as a fucking. That's my jam. That's my jam. That's my jam That's the only jam I listened to It was on today live
Starting point is 01:21:50 It was on today live and it was pretty impressive how he did it. He introduced the band before he did Pretty fucking cool, but I'll never forget that John Lennon got shot on a monday night Mother night football, huh? Tuesday night. I'm walking into school in that portrait of the Beatles, right somebody already put an x on John That's how much they hated the Beatles the dudes that live we walked by and they're like, look at that They already put an x on his head. We were fucking dying one down three to go one down three to fucking go I mean, it's not that I hated the Beatles. It's that the kids that wore the Beatles. You got sick of them Yeah, I got sick of those motherfuckers. It wasn't till
Starting point is 01:22:29 1983 so I went to Aspen That there was a bunch of Beatles happens the guys that In the daytime if you're here, you can play music I was there by myself And you know elevation smoking weed you gotta put music on the cello you and that with the rubber soul I started getting to those and straight sergeant peppers and
Starting point is 01:22:50 And that's when I learned about the Beatles sitting there by myself I really learned a lot about the without nobody forcing them down my throat I broke down the music by myself and said this is fucking brilliant Then I listened to all the Paul McCartney stuff and John Lennon stuff and you know woman is the nigger of the world I mean, he's got some fucking crazy shit John Lennon And I didn't get it into it as much as I thought, you know, but it was very interesting Like there's bands to me that people say, oh my god, then you bring it home and this is garbage It's just some guy, you know the Beatles was something for me that it was an education later on
Starting point is 01:23:24 I'm happy. I didn't get into the Beatles when I was 16. I'm happy I got into them. I was in my 20s And then again, like an 80s before I got locked up. I got into a uh, I hated those early shit Loved me do or hold your hand. No, no, I'm none of that shit works in my world I like the craziness. I like let that let it be it starts as revolver and rubber soul Those two would make out when they're like fuck it's just brilliant shit Yeah, man, and I didn't know at that time, you know, it's it's it's really weird if you're young you listen to the podcast You like a certain type of music and right now you're saying that that other music sucks
Starting point is 01:23:59 10 years from now, you're not gonna feel like that. Yeah, you're gonna your your music catalog is gonna expand Then people gonna will giggle at you and ship. You don't give a fuck then it's gonna expand again Then it's gonna expand again I remember going from heavy metal to shoday And going what the fuck is going like what the first two shoday albums that was a good brilliant and 85 fucking records, man Uh, just just amazing music and people go. I can't believe you have shoday I listen to the first two albums dog shoday will knock you fucking samslo, you know I remember buying rick james. I remember buying all different type of fucking music
Starting point is 01:24:33 My dad was dead. He would listen every he had me listen everything the Beatles one day The who the next metallica he was one of the he's one who called me up and told me about grunge When I was a kid because you got to hear this shit, man Like he fucking like he all will all that shit he would listen from you know The Beatles to like that fucking acid jazz type mahavish new Progressive jazz shit like all that stuff dude. You just listen everything and yeah, you you can if you really love music You can appreciate what's great about every facet of it like any type of genre anything it's like oh man And the Beatles at one point
Starting point is 01:25:08 You're talking about their solo shit I'm still not convinced that they weren't still writing with each other Even though they'd broken up and we're talking all this shit because their solo shit is still so fucking good You know what I mean, but I'm like if it finds out 10 years from now. Oh, by the way Yeah, we never we were all writing each other shit too back to like I would believe it because if you guys like music And we all do we really we really enjoy music. That's like you and I bonded with Chinese music music. Are you really like music? I wish that I was I had a very special music wise like I was very fortunate
Starting point is 01:25:42 They always people always talk about time machines. Oh man. It's fucking mom He was just looking at me like People always talk to me about music and different eras me. I'm an old man I'm out of touch and I gotta tell you something man If I could do it all over again if I could go to a time machine I'd want to get dropped in 1971. I was about say 71 or 72 No, I'm straight till 1980
Starting point is 01:26:06 Straight till when uh, john bottom died. Oh, yeah, right there. That was the end of it all right there And the Ozzy Osbourne came in all that stuff with heavy metal But I'm talking about when When Paul McCartney was dueling elton john when elton john ran this country and we've had this discussion Not with you on the podcast before, you know, I think I was on joes one time We're talking about when elton john ran this country, which was 72 To 77 He ran this country and then he was running things
Starting point is 01:26:38 But then paul mccartney would show up a band on the run and fucking all Loves me do songs and all this shit Then john lennon showed up with imagining and we're not we're not and we're still not talking about what led zeppelin And and the stones were doing and the shanker brothers and and the fucking, you know, pink florid was doing in 75 We're not even talking about all this. What you know, I watched that show the 70s on cnn They did specials with tom hanks produced them in 1973 this country spent two billion dollars on tickets And if you look at just tonight go home and google who was on tour in 1973 everybody everybody the heart

Yes You know all these bands the who everybody toured every two or three years the stones came what 71 73 75 Don't quote me on that But it was such a different fucking time and no matter and you know, some people like the Elvis era Some people say that Elvis era.

Thank you people think There's no timeline on an art No, no, no, there's no timeline on an art and and as long as you going
Starting point is 01:35:23 If you're getting into comedy and you're going after six years if I don't make it I'm quitting. Fuck joey dears. Listen, man Six years is when you start to understand the game a little bit As much as you think you're fucking Milton burrow You don't know dick. You don't know dick at six years and at 10 years You don't really know dick again. You think like I got this. You don't really know dick You know, you start really putting it together at 16, right? And then you really start getting good I mean burr's been around for fucking years. Nobody knew that's a bash has been around for 15 fucking years
Starting point is 01:35:54 Ralphie's been around for 25 fucking years, you know, dang cooks been around for 20 fucking years You know, you just think these people came out of nowhere. I don't know it's never like that So but again, you know, whether you're a guitar player a fucking drummer You want to be a sound tech a producer? These are all the ingredients that go into this. It's time patience. You got to live in the studio apartment You got to run through fucking women and throw them out from time to time Sometimes they take your cat You know, sometimes they take your dog. I went through that shit. They took my dog twice
Starting point is 01:36:23 Those fucking women fucking savage evil. Oh, you gave me the best advice ever though. Well, I'll never forget this We're talking about that like how you know, hey, you basically said there's no timetable years ago We're talking about this and you said as long as you're still Going up at night and doing comedy in LA You're in the fight. You're in it. You're you're swinging. That's all that matters So you want to be up there swinging and that's that's all that matters Like if you can continue to do that and that's I think the difference is a lot of people when they don't have that all It didn't happen for me in six years. They leave or they quit or they walk away
Starting point is 01:36:56 It's like, well, you don't let the miracle you didn't let the miracle happen, right? You didn't believe in the miracle you didn't believe in yourself Which is the fucking biggest thing before the work before quitting your job before telling your mom to suck your dick Moving out of the basement before all these things What makes you do all these things with confidence? Yeah is the belief It's when I go to my best friend Lee and I go I quit my job today, right and Lee's like, how'd you fucking do it, man? Aren't you worried and you look at Lee and you go, no, it's all gonna work out. You know, so I'm a friend of mine He's paying 5
Starting point is 01:37:29 thousand a month for rent Where it doesn't matter and I go, how are you making that nut he goes believe in that The first month I had a hard time And a guy called me from 10 years ago for a writing job. We got it. We picked up a year boom book And it's it's it's gonna cover the fucking red and the spread and everything for a year and a half Find something else. Yeah, sometimes you got to put yourself in that position You know if something happens you need three thousand a month. All of a sudden you start making three thousand You figure how to do it. All of a sudden you put six grand up. All of a sudden you start figuring out how to make fucking six grand
Starting point is 01:38:04 It's very Uh, it's true. I don't know how to even describe it. It's a certain belief That you have to uh having yourself to get into any of this shit Whether you go to vocational school to become a plumber nobody becomes a plumber overnight No comes on electrician overnight. I'm a mechanic. No that's a mechanic overnight. Look at the shape of this fucking How exciting is it like when you start like? noticing making you're making money like I don't even think it's for me when it like because I still don't make you know
Starting point is 01:38:33 I'm not like rolling and don't or anything like that But you know what it is what's exciting is when you know, you're getting better Like that's what's awesome is when you all of a sudden when you start Finishing shows you're like holy shit like fuck man. That was that was like way But then for me it happened about seven years in I don't know if you remember that feeling that you get after when all of a sudden You know, you would always do okay. That's why you kept doing it. But then one night You just destroy and like Everything works right and those are rare sets
Starting point is 01:39:02 But when you don't talk about those nights where it doesn't matter what and also you're like, oh, wow I just did that like shit. That's the best feeling that's better than any paycheck You're gonna get but it is that moment when you start realizing I'm actually good at like I'm actually getting good at this I actually know how to do this like I'm actually that's the fucking untouchable feeling one of my biggest highlights I started in 91 and from 91 to 93 I was uh I was that guy that always had a card
Starting point is 01:39:28 I'm a comedian, but I would cancel every gig When I was in new york I'd stop in harlem and get a bag of coke and do a line and not show up at the gig I really was but when I realized the work that had to go into it I said, okay now it's time to roll up my sleeves Right. I for me to do this professionally. Yeah, and to make a living I gotta tell you what my first highlight was and it had nothing to do with money So this is I was going through hell. I'm going through hell my ex-wife. I'm living on the fucking floor, right, you know My job sucks
Starting point is 01:40:00 I'm not making child support. I'm you know, my child support 700. I'm coming up with 550 You know, it's just a horrible time in my fucking life and I'll never forget going jimmy a beta called me up and then he goes. Hey, man. I got this bar. It pays 50 bucks Why don't you come do 15 minutes and I'm like sweating like 15 minutes Like that was fucking but I had something, you know I'm broke like an improvise Like that's the bed. That's the hardest thing to do and if you can do that Oh man, it's a mess when I first started counting. I refused to write material right crowd work crowd work and improvise
Starting point is 01:40:36 Yeah, talk then talk shit And I'll never forget we went to some bar one night, you know It was any like for me now. I would go in there and go Jesus Christ But then, you know, you're a superstar. I'm going to poke a tello. I don't fucking a man. Where you going next week? I'm going to new york. Where you going poke a tello bitch? Fuck Well, I think that's maybe more what I meant not necessarily money But like when you started booking more and more gigs. No, no, no, but here's the moment that killed me We were at this bar on a wednesday night
Starting point is 01:41:06 Jimmy better goes go up there into 20 minutes And I went up there and you know, usually I would be on a fucking stop watch, right? Three minutes, you know in those days, right on, you know, it's like when I go to jiu-jitsu the first two years I would try to avoid sparring. Okay. I gotta go. Yeah technique and shit and One night I did really well And they finally gave me the light and when I got all four comics were waiting for me like young guys that I came right And they were high five me that was fucking great
Starting point is 01:41:36 And Jimmy better comes on a good bro. You did 38 minutes another best And I go, no, I didn't he goes. Yes, you did. He goes. I was outside. It's getting high. I forgot to give you the light And I don't know if I get getting in my car And that to me was the highest moment of my fucking career When you do when you do a set like you said, let's say you're supposed to do 20 and you do like 25 30 So 38 right and you destroy and then you get off stage And you didn't even get to tell like five jokes that you were hoping you know what I mean? That's the best feeling I remember going home and I'll tell you what exactly I did in those days
Starting point is 01:42:10 There was a comic newspaper and in the back of it. It had all the It had all the top Clubs in the country had every club in the country just the last But there was also a Judy Carter book that I had sure and it had uh, you know all the agencies in LA And I remember that night I went home and circled agency Like I was ready The performance you're getting a call from me tomorrow. I did 38 minutes Had ring goes eight ball in last night. Oh
Starting point is 01:42:42 Like I thought I was the shit but that moment like the money for me Never really matters. I knew when I got in there. I eliminated the money from my mind I did that going in because I didn't want to have no inclinations that I was going to make The first time I read real money doing comedy was nine years and eight years and I booked a bell commercial And I must have made a small fucking fortune a hundred grand in eight months So I made 80 something 60 grand like from All no I made 80 grand from august to december nice
Starting point is 01:43:15 With a taco bell commercial at the beginning because they didn't know the dog was going to get hot So they couldn't plan it during the world series a spots a spots a spots. I'm in clark Making get that shade spots because a spots where people don't know when you get like A rotation like you have cable cable pay like 3 000 for 90 days on limit. That's what when you have cable Like the pay channels you see your commercial 20 times The the real one cbs abc fox when your show comes on at eight o'clock. Shit commercial comes on eight o'clock Shit, that's when you buy the whole bar around give her a big round
Starting point is 01:43:52 And if you see that commercial again at eight thirty five give her a big another Because I just made like three thousand you really do that's amazing. They put you on an a rotation So the first commercial 750 the second one's a thousand 12 50 15 So if your commercial hits four times in two hours You made three thousand fucking dollars and when it's when they use the cycle it starts all over again And also when you're getting checks from december 8th to december 18th you made like 6200 You're like, what the fuck that's so badass. I'm surprised more comedians don't do that Because the commercial you could make so much money from the commercial
Starting point is 01:44:31 And listen, Ari started his fortune with commercial. Yeah, Ari should feel you using a ton of them. I remember that He was great and I'm sure they would get mad at him if he left town Like when he would work with rogue and they call him up. Don't get on that plane because they find them something That's how good Ari was. Yeah, Ari was great. There was maybe four people that one year There's a black guy that books all the commercial right the highest paid commercial guy.
