My main man Lisa I at as red with his little fucking
Shirk night shirt on his forehead is matching the redness
Like you just put all I didn't even I see the mistake I make is is a taking things from you and be
You're like the master you like place the alpha brain but also couldn't see how much hash you put in there
You put like a whole chunk of hash
The problem with this hash was who this used to be wax
So I didn't have any place to put this Lebanese hash
I put in this wax thing and the wax absorbed the hash absorbed the wax this is death
People tell me this fucking recipe right here
Start about a bottom now we're here. What the fuck?
Thursday night the 8th of September Jerry LaRocca making it happen. What's happening got his new fucking special coming on on fuse TV. Yeah
Thanks, first make you a little fucking nerdy dude. I'm still getting Chinese food scared to eat the fortune cookie
You wouldn't even fortune cookie. It's a joke. Yeah
Everything this fucking guy me and him were partners and all the Chinese buffet. It was the best
That's all we always do a fucking wake-up go get any time we'd work. We'd always he tell me there's a Chinese
They don't have them out here. I love Chinese super face. They don't have it. Is there one?
I don't know any california these people too healthy. Yeah, it's a problem. That's the problem. They're too healthy
They never fucking do it. They're too sexes have some wild as shit to Texas can have there's a place in Texas called
Either Alibaba or Tara one of the same owners. It's Middle Eastern food buffet
They have buffets for everything and it's the fucking best shit the best hummus. You'll ever have the best
Let's stop right there, right? Don't come on the show to go my hummus
You show up looking like Lenin after he came back from India with bracelets and fucking
Turbines on your head. Now you want to fucking insult me Middle Eastern fucking
Unbelievable
Do they do you have them when you were growing up or they knew because I
Chinese buffets like how they were all over Texas now as a kid really fucking all over Dallas. It was amazing
There's something that was a great one. I never heard of a Chinese buffet till
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. Yeah, I have 90 guys in front of me do what you're doing
You know, do what the fuck you're doing keep doing what you're doing right and you're ready. I'm here
Yeah, man, you know someday you come out to the store, but well, but you know our friend came out from
Paduca George nice Spanish kid that I worked with in paduca
And he sent me an email. I told him I said listen, bro. Here's the deal. You got to go out now
And make a name amongst the comics. I mean you got to hit all these fucking dumb ass rooms
Yeah, all these shitty fucking rooms and then somebody's gonna see you and go boom
We're gonna get you a spy of the improv and you and it becomes infectious
Yeah, now you got to manage and now he calls the lab factory now you call me
I could recommend you because they want somebody with a fucking manager, you know, this has become a bit
This has become like an industry show now. Yeah, I grandfathered my way in but a lot of these guys
They want you to have a manager and they want you to have an agent. 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 love it when features go. I need a booking agent. It's great
The booking agent is you working with a headliner
Yeah, him booking you and then you and getting introduced to the clubs
Giving them your best 20 minutes and let them bring you back to headline on wednesday and sunday next time you come back
With the headliner and the next time you do it again next time you do it again. Now they give you fourth of july
It's a dead weekend, but at least you got a fucking weekend on your on your way
Now you got to get on twitter. Now you got to get on fucking facebook. It's the same thing. It's the same work process
You know started from the bottom now. We're here. What the fuck
Thursday night cock suck you got to keep working it. It's a thing man. And a lot of people don't it's comedy is one of those places where like
How do it? It's almost like we're people move out here and it's like it's okay. It's it's like if I got a letter
from
A loan company saying I've been pre approved for a $10,000 loan and I lose my shit and I'm like I did it
That's how they act too when they move out here
They act like they just got a letter in the mail saying they've been pre approved for a loan
And they're like well here I am give me the loan and they're like no actually it's not like that
You know like that's they don't read the fine print
Now that that sort of if you did the chicago comedy festival right and dave becky walked up for you from three yards
Right and he gives you a card and he goes as soon as you get to la call me
Then you fucking do then you move manana like there's no you go write the grandpa and you go those saving bonds
Gotta go let's catch them motherfuckers in because I need to train to la motherfucker
There's different situations. Yeah, and I when I when I talk about comedy
I don't want to alienate people while people listen to this in their cubicles
I just say any art
Any art at all or do you want to be a job? Yeah, yes, sir. I was I talking to you on the phone
I said so I was looking at somebody walking on stilts
No, I don't think that dude that works at universal, but he's worried and he was telling me that now he trains people
Oh, yeah, wow
You did that you were saying that I bumped into him
I had to go get mercy. I mean my wife were coming. I'm like, I told my wife you play a lot of read today
It was the last time you play a lot of read tickets. He goes never. I mean, let's play a pick six
Right and went to that liquor store and some guy came out and I recognized my neighbor when we started talking
And I go was that you want stilts before and he told me his whole career
How long he's been doing it like yeah to travel for eight years and sleep on a couch and Jesus. It's work
It's everything. This is work. This is work and those couch stories and the floor stories and working at a
Dallas hyenas and
Going to the supermarket and the next morning opening up your fucking eggs
And there's a roach in there that broke in through the fucking back through the package
You know in those condos and Greg whatever sleeping on the floor with no shirt on and next
You know you hear a bunch of people dialing and you go out into your living room
And they got a telemarketing fucking chapter of comedy clubs in your fucking living room
These are all true stories, dude. Have you my favorite road moments were
Now looking back when it was happening. I thought I thought I was going to die
You've done this. I'm sure a million times when you first started as a feature, right?
Do you remember when you would work those weeks with those 20-something years in
Bitter road guys who lived in the midwest the water just all by
And just bombed LA and they sell everything. Yes. They sell sneakers
Shoes
guitars
And they're bitter about LA every little LA
You suck dick. You might as well start because nothing's gonna happen to you
Dude, I it's funny on my special. I have a bit about that where I talk about when my cd came out
Someone's like, hey, who's dick did you have to suck? I'm like the one you didn't that's who's dick
I you know what I mean? And then I was like, and
What what does it even mean? Like what what if there was some magic dick out there?
Would you suck it? Fuck no, you know what I mean? Like you would just you know what I mean?
Like you have to like for first of all, I'm not good. It's I'm
Promise you right now. I'd be horrible at sucking dick
So if I were to go blow some guy to move ahead, he'd be like, no, I'm sorry man. Like, you're not good at this
That's when they pick up forget about it. Just lick my ass. Don't worry about the rim job. What is it?
So at like as headliners
What would you look for since there are so many people who could feature for you?
Like what do you guys look for if you get to pick a feature?
It doesn't matter. I just thought it was funny. Like you did funny and you's fun and you could tell
There's like you know, I know that he's striving, right? I want to know that he's paying a rent
I want to know that he's banging it out every fucking night like I did
Yeah, I want to know that he's not right. Well, I'm tired. There's no tired in this
I don't know what you're talking about right until
You pop three or four things. You can't be tired. That could be three or four years. I don't know what day or
I don't know what wedding you're talking about. Christmas sucked my dick. Jesus was a Jew
You know, let's get it together here too many times and you've been through this
I mean, dude, there is nothing that
Like if and I'll tell you that's that's you just said it best like I would look for a comic who I know
This guy has spent at least two or three already
Christmases alone in a fucking hotel room in the middle of nowhere because they're working that week, you know
And we've done that dude. I remember that dude
And those those are night especially when you're up like in the north and it's just fucking snowed in
There's nothing to do. There's no show that night and you're just trapped in your room on christmas
Be like there's always somebody who goes. Hey man. What do you want to come over to the house?
Yeah, yeah, yeah something. Yep. There's always a manager at the club one of the other comics
You really learn about human compassion on the road sometimes. Yeah, you know speaking about our pastor used to have the gay manager
John that was right. Right. He had a young mexican lover and
Dude, he was a bad motherfucker man. He was a bad motherfucker, John
Dude, he was a bad motherfucker and you hugged him and kissed him and I'd squeeze his ass and he'd run from me
You know, I mean it was just fucking you meet
I could write a book of the people that I met
Yeah, that bailed me on the spot as a feature act that I wish there's a way
I could get a hold of them and thank them because there was millions on
There was a Puerto Rican guy in South Dakota one time
The green river of South Dakota, I'll never forget
That stuck his head out when he heard the accent
He stuck his head out the window and he was bro. I met some white chair. I stuck out of here in the service
I'm the only Puerto Rican around here. And I'm like we can we get weed and right
You know and he brought me weed and he didn't charge me when I did a triple run one time
Oh, fucking
Minneapolis, Minnesota, not even Minneapolis. I'm sorry like Minnesota all the way where they fish
The ice wall. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and all that shit and we finished the show
Dog we drive we drove for two hours in the darkness
Yeah, and all there was was fake deer and how you the light was when
Your uh, I had lights hit the the lights
I mean you were scared you kept going joey like where you taking me
I've had a tire blowout on a triple one run time driving through Montana
I hit black ice my car spun my tire exploded. I'll never forget this. I had to fucking pull over
Jack it up put on the little tiny spare and I still had 50 miles to go
And I just made it to the gig like those are those
Triple runs like that are like fuck man. And have you ever had a triple run during good weather?
I don't think that exists, right? He hasn't given to you. He saves those for the fucking good come
Yeah, I mean man, we would just go and like death. I mean, you know, it's not that you would go
It's that you didn't think about it. Yeah, man. You loved the comedy so much
You loved and you'd go to your friends and go I'm doing potato run too next week and they go in december
Good luck. Good luck. We'll never see you again. And even it's not like when you're like, oh, you're flying to boston. Good luck
Those planes go down
Let me tell you something you will hit a deer
Oh, I've done. Yeah
People come home. Love ties blow out. You got to get out put chains on your car
You ever had a you ever run out of gas on a triple run
And you have to go fucking run like a mile to a gas station filled up run back to the that's happened to me like dude
triple runs
Oh, man, it's it's it's it's nothing else can come that is the
It's a training program. You'll never a triple run
Is a training program once you call david triple as a comic and he goes I have six weeks of work for you
You know one thing you you're going to comedy camp. Yeah, man
You're learning every aspect of comedy except marketing
There's no really marketing because it's too quick. It's too quick. It's too quick one night. You're done. What you learn is how to
Drive get there live on 50 bucks. Yeah, you know get to the gig
Directions what to put in your car, you know by the second year of comedy your car becomes
Your home. It's a dollar store. Yeah, that's the best way I could describe
You have screwdriver's anti-free anything you know a soda a football or frisbee. You like my guy
I mean a knife a wrench a fucking soccer ball a sleeping bag a tent a grill
You've got tang you've got waters in the back
You've got so much shit in your car and you learn how to put it all together. Yeah, you learn how to
Pull over and sleep for three hours. Yeah leave the windows opening the car running and lock the door knobs
Open up the sunroof at those rest areas. You know what I would do with the rest areas. I would I would sleep I would take
I had a water gun and I would just hold it and I'd wear a hoodie
And I bought I bought a water gun and I would put it in the middle pocket
So it looked like I was holding a gun
When I would do when you go to like to the shady really creepy fucking and you know just in case
Just make it look like I'm packing, you know like you would do all dude
I remember when I was on the road the best feeling was one time
I was doing a gig and I was in between gigs
I just found a basketball court out of the middle of nowhere and I had my basketball in my car
You gotta put everything in your car
Man, this is the fucking shit
Basketball swimming trunks
Oh, yeah
Because you don't know what you're gonna bump into and on the triple run seat that the weekend's on saturday
So the week doesn't start till tuesday. You're on montana with you by yourself
Oh, let's explain the lead to the breakdown on payments. Okay. Let's say let's say you because I I would feature on
So let's say you do a comedy club and they give you 500 bucks
Wednesday through sunday or whatever 700 bucks
You would get about the same with the triple gig except they would pay you each night and what was mind blowing is
The first night you got $10
And then you would go to the second club you get 35 and then the middle the third one you get 250
And then the next night you get 75 and they're like it would all even out at the end
But like you said a lot of times you do those gigs you have zero in your pocket
And you get to the first gig and all you get is 10 bucks like fuck I gotta stretch this
For all day tomorrow veggie and cheese

Someone's heckling him and he's just finally after like 30 minutes
He just lays into the guy and he goes, this is my fucking life and you sit there
And and then you just see this fucking corn fed redneck just get up and just walk to the stage
He pushes the comic
Unplugs the mic and then boom knocks the fuck out of him and then like a brawl just starts and it's all on tape
And you're like and you're gonna be at that club in four two nights
And it's like well, I hope it goes better for me
You know those triple runs there's people who just go out to to heckle the comments. Yeah. Oh, okay. That's it

I was just getting it out there that i'm mexican and I said, you know, there's no one else here
That's mexican besides me and that stupid piece of shit in the back and then dude
She gets on a phone that the bar had a fucking old school phone on it
And we're in the hotel because it was one of the members of those triple rooms
You're in a lounge of a hotel, right? You're in a red rock, right? Yeah, red
All this shit. I think I saw one then in like new upstate in new york or something. Oh, you oh, yeah
They're everywhere. They're everywhere and then so she gets on this phone and throughout i'm doing, you know
What 20 minutes i'm featuring and she gets on the phone and about 10 minutes after she's been on the phone
There's we aren't we are no longer the only two mexicans in helen in montana. There was like
15 dudes come walk it and they're waiting for me. They were waiting
They're all like, okay, bro. What you got this day? It's covered on we're gonna see what the fuck happened
Like and I was like, okay, here we go
And i'm thinking in my head like shit. I'm gonna die like this is it like fuck
They're gonna fucking kill me because she called all of her boys and they all showed up to kick my ass
I didn't even make fighters, you know, I didn't even really make fun of her and then I said guys, uh when I ended my set
I couldn't ego comedian ego. I said hey
By the way, if anyone was offended tonight during my set, I apologize
Uh, but if the only one was offended was that stupid piece of shit in the back of the room
Then fuck you. I'm glad I offended and then everyone was into it
And they these guys are like great jump the stage and what they didn't realize so they're all stage left
Where the entrance to the lounges, right?
What they didn't realize was stage right is another door that just comes right to the hotel
So I just bring up the headline. I go. Thank you. Good night and bloop
I just go out the fucking door and I ran to my fucking room and just hold up
I was like, man
Fuck as I it was it was and I was ready to go and I was like, well, I guess I'm gonna die
But the headliner grabbed me so I was bringing up and he goes go stage right. He's shaking my hand. He goes
I'll get your money. Go stage right. There's nobody there. They don't know that that's and just go to your fucking room
It's only shit. So I run up to my room when I get to my room
It takes like 30 seconds right to get to my hotel room the phone ringing. I pick it up
And is this the front desk? There's a gentleman here who says he went to high school
He wants to know what room you're in so you can come up and say hi
I'm like, I don't know anybody in this town like it was and I remember that left my car in the parking lot
And it had Texas plates on it and I talked about being from Texas
And it was the only one with Texas plates. So I did like fucking mission impossible
I had to fucking sneak all the way down get in my car
Go park it in a bank across the street and then sneak all the way back up
I was left the room. Fuck it. Take the car
fucking thing on fire
One time I had a scare in Idaho
I had a scare and it was fucking crazy because
I'm on stage and I see this black guy and he's talking to white women in Idaho
And when I'm cracking jokes, I'm saying to myself this guy's got the biggest balls
Because this is around the oj time. Oh man. Farmer had a house in Idaho. So in my mind, I'm like
So after the show I fuck around and I get off stage and
I talked to the black guy. He comes over to me goes brother. Thank you that you came
He was the only black guy and he was slinging big dick and you can tell these white guys hate
Like they fucking hate them
And when I went to the bathroom a guy was in and he goes, did you have a good time with your negro buddy?
Wow, and I could tell I'm telling you, you know, listen, you want to fucking piss people off. Fuck what they're women
Oh, even if they're not fucking them. It's like office and the gentleman
When when no question when they come into the bar the guys chase them out of the bar and want to fight them
Just because they were talking to the girl
Dog it's it's really weird. It's a weird mentality and they're not coming into our town with that Led Zeppelin shirt on
You know and they fucking go not sleep
It's at that. What's it bob see your song turn the page? Yeah, every
Every performer who's ever had to do one nighters has lived every moment of that song
Right, you remember like they walk into the restaurant and everyone's looking at you like who what fucking freak is this?
I remember those look come on tana with riko. Oh, wow riko. You know, I'm talking. Yeah. Yeah, stand. Hope. Yeah. Yeah
Black riko is 400 pound black guy with a spider on his face a fucking
Beard and I'll never forget. I'm but you guys a big hit that week
It was horrendous
We were co-headlining trouble. I'll never forget. We weren't where we were the first night
And the morning he woke up and there's no black people for fucking days
This fucking idiot decides to get on their hands and knees. He's muslim
Or whatever the fuck those people all that breathe on that they pray on their knees. Yeah, this restaurant's packed with white people
In a restaurant, he wants to get down. I told him I go riko. You gotta get up. We're gonna get killed
It's bad enough. You're fucking black and 400 fucking pounds. You want to pray to ala with the spider tether?
Yeah, 1995 they don't know nothing about ala nothing
Praying to ala had a golden crown whatever the fuck he was praying to
He's looking at me like you insulted me. I ain't got time for this shit
Get up. We're at a cracker barrel. They're gonna fucking kill us. You I sit there sometimes
I'll never forget when I first left
Denver
I was meeting when I left
boulder
June 30th and 95 or whatever for June 1st. I was meeting carol to strip in seattle
and
I don't know about you guys. I couldn't wait to fucking tear carol up
Like it was tuesday and I was jerking off eight times in the shower
Just thinking about how hot a pussy was he was gonna strip for me and I was crazy. I remember I did
Wednesday, I'll never forget this Wednesday thursday friday saturday with a guy that was from orange county
Okay, he was a comedian at the time. He said he owned the house and he had lived out here for 15 years and
He got from time to time. He was an extra
And uh, I asked him if he got spots at the improv and he goes no and you'll never get in there and
The laugh factory's impossible a comedy store and I'm he's telling me all this shit and
I'll never forget how negative he was. Oh, but he gave me a card
And it was four days because I was telling him I was moving to seattle
To hook up with this girl and I'm gonna do comedy and and he's like, you know what man? I don't mean to piss on your parade but
Stay in seattle. Don't let people talk. Let you talk and let you talk them into moving to
I still remember there was a fucking guy with new chucks on the road
Right, they used to bring him up on stage. That would drove me crazy for a couple nights
I know I could write them out like 10 guys. I don't not remember their names, but
It's funny at the triple run. See I started on the triple run. Yeah, me too. No, no, no
How is the house mc? Oh shit on the triple run?
That's how I'm at standhold and a lot of that's the best, you know at that time. They were medium level comics
Yeah, I don't I only remember two now that is still in the business that came through there
There was one kid from san francisco that came one time
For the two-year anniversary and I gotta tell you guys he blew up that fucking room nice
And I saw him out here at rousal and I walked up to him. Maybe
So it's two it's two fifteen. Yeah, I think I saw him after mad tv. Okay mad tv and I did something else
By 2003 I think I had mad tv. Yeah, well 2002
I had a few more I had like baseball and a pilot
No ego. I knew I was very lucky. I knew that I thought like I'd stepped in shit. It'll never happen again
And I bumped into him and I walked outside and went after him like I don't know if you remember me, man
In 1990 fucking two you destroyed the broker and he goes, yeah
And I go, what do you do now? And he goes, I got out of comedy completely
I moved on here. I did one. It's one of those times where there was a couple comics that I remember going
Wow, that guy's really good. He was one of those guys. Yeah, stanhope. I saw stanhope at the as a feature act at the broker
1991 wow
I invited him to stay over the house. He stayed over the house because I was divorced
And I had this huge house so the comics were cool in those days. It was broke bolder on tuesday
Okay, craig on thursday. Oh craig. Wow. Yeah craig, which was they I'll never forget the itinerary for craig craig was a triple run
Saturday was gunnison. Yeah gunnison and sunday was no no all colorado and sunday was
Colorado springs colorless like a barn. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, wasn't judy brown's room. It was no no. It was a triple run
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So what you did was basically what these poor bastards did was some of them got up
Wednesday morning after a hard night at the broker and they shoot up to craig because it was six hours by an aspen
And that's the thing with a triple run, dude. You finish you you finish Wednesday night at 10
You have to be almost 10 hours across the state Thursday night. Like it's there's no joke
There's no joke. So sometimes you got to drive eight hours. Some days you drive 45 minutes
Yeah, you have the whole day to yourself
But there's some days you got to get up at eight and drive and you're still gonna get there at six
Right. Yep. Jesus. Yep. Do you guys?
Ever have like an issue with like a guy knocking on the door and you're like having sex with his girlfriend or his wife
Since like you guys hooked up with people on the road. I've never luckily have avoided that
Like I mean, you know, it's I've heard a horror story from this one comic who it said that that happened
like after he after he took up with the chick there was a knock at his door the next day and
A dude had a badge
He walked in and said I'm a detective from you know local department
It's just a woman here claims you raped her last night and the comic is like freaking the fuck guys like dude
That never fucking happened
And so he sits a guy down
And he starts making him go into detail as to what happened that night and he turns out that that wasn't even a cop
It was that chick's crazy ex boyfriend
Who just fucking was tailing her all night and then just wanted to he bought a fake badge
And wanted to hear like what it is fucking crazy shit like that. Luckily. I avoided all that like, you know, I got lucky man
Yeah, definitely, you know, you hook up with chicks. You always be worried like fuck like one time when I was in Little Rock
I thought you know what her boyfriend is here
Like I went to she took me back to her house and we fucked in her in her dining room
Of all places and the whole time like, you know what you think sometimes you can tell when there's like other eyes
You know, I'm like dude her husband is either into this and watching it or something
It was so I got the fuck out of there as quick as I could like
Luckily, I've never had that, you know happen where someone's trying to kill me or you know
Kick my ass over David like that like luckily you learn a lot
Like I'll tell you what shocked me the most shocking thing that happened to me was
I'm a cokehead. I was a cokehead on the road
So the coke took me wherever right, you know, if a chick was involved, I'm gone
You know, so I'd be at the fucking club
And as a feature act, I'd make believe I was in the payphone
at El Paso
And I'd be on the payphone trying to get below
Yeah, and and
I'll not forget this one night this girl came up to me because Wednesday night was army night
Yeah, always it was Tuesday through Sunday. It was eight through saturday
And either Tuesday night or Wednesday night was army. Yeah, and I'm not kidding you

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
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
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
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
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
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
He had just put all these camcorders in and the scam was genius like as he's up there on the ladder, right?
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. It's like how good I was Lee
I was thinking about contacting these companies and telling them
Are you fucking retarded? Like I'm making a fucking living
I'm making 10,000 a month robbing you guys. That's just me
Right this way. I can't imagine who else is robbing. Yeah, how many millions how many millions you're getting robbed?
That's how good I was Lee when I went back to boulder in 94
In 93
I robbed like beside the sports betting job I had and I'm ashamed to say this
I that's all I did. Yeah, I got to the point where I would just go in front of came out with my bicycle
And hang out
A grown man with a bicycle and I look for people coming out dropping receipts
Oh, yeah, that happens all the time and I'd pick up a receipt 40 dollars. I'm in that's good. I got weed and I got lunch
Now I need another receipt. That's the way to do it
That's how I did it. I just wait there because nobody nobody keeps a receipt everybody toss them
People dropping receipts one time somebody dropped a fucking lawnmower receipt for four no way
I took the receipt and I took it all the way to longmont colorado went to that kmart
And I took a lawnmower brought it up got the four bills back kept the receipt
I just had it just in case and then I went back to bow to boulder brought back the fucking lawnmower
I made 800 for the fucking damn plus tax
I would hit the westminster mall more boulder mall longmont mall
I would go all the way to shyan wyoming and I would write where I went down. This is how fucking crafty I was
So I wouldn't go back to two places. No evidence. I would just put
Uh, 10 15. They could be doing anything. Oh rora. That's it. Yeah, you didn't know what it said
For not not even quick meet 1916 that's lawn owner 101
No, you're meeting a friend if you put boulder mall at 320. That's fucking but if I just put mall
They don't know if I do you could say you had a job in here. Yeah, whatever like that was there
So I would know where I would be the week before so I wouldn't go back
And I would never go back. I had like a little calendar and I just put like bees on it. I had no westminster sure
Or rora
Fucking I hit ever our vada. I hit every mall that had a fucking came on
All the way in the state of color rather than I would just start all over
My homing all the way to fuck do you have like a company list or how do you find them?
Well, you just drove around I just drove around until I saw them all off the went off to 70 or the i-25
You just got balls fucking everywhere. Yeah, john elwayville. Oh, yeah, fuck all those bills and done by used to rob
So wait when you got arrested when on your gig did you make the next gig or I made the gig
That's awesome. They gave they let me out on my own reconnaissance. I told them to suck my dick
There's still a warning in twin falls and mr. Meena want
How long is that last who the fuck that's crazy. Yeah, fuck you never gonna back the twin
My fishing days are over. You know what I'm saying? I got a warrant someday
I don't know people very upset right now. I ain't fucking going there jack. These people that want to go back and I'll sneak and
Fuck you. Yeah, there's no reason for me to fucking sneak back. Yeah, it's funny because uh
I'm trying to get I'm trying to get a passport, but I want to know or I'm not going to spend unnecessary money
So the passport's the first thing if these people fucking it's all in the paperwork. So these people approved me
Fuck Seattle and fuck that warrant. I'll just go to cuba. Yeah
If
Canada if I could find a way to definitely enter Canada
Like I got an attorney right now that's my answer questions and you have to fill out a form and the exact gig
We're gonna probably go to calgary
If I could go there with that warrant not now if Canada goes you could come in
We got to take that warrant in seattle. I'll take care of the warrant in seattle, right?
The only travel I want to do right now is a passport to go to cuba
And maybe over to london to see my average buddies over there made it to australia
But Canada is too strict. They're not gonna let me and they're gonna break my fucking balls. What are you giggling about Lee?

Like there was you know, my mom told me a story. There was a dude there who's like the mayor for like 40 years

We had a 250 I thought about this. What'd you think about me? I had a 250 milligram
To soothe you in your models to soothe you in
Still smoked a joint did a dab
And then took one of the strongest 10 of the acid
I can imagine
It was crazy
And he ate it
Listen, sometimes you do a drug an edible like there was an edible. We did a couple weeks ago that I went home
I said, okay. I'm hungry. Right. I'm not gonna overdo it
Right, let me just eat an apple and my wife gets a bunch of fruit right at night. I'll attack that first
And the fucking fruit like sometimes you go home and there's like egg salads
And I'll get like two four four saltine crackers and I'll eat a little bit of egg salad with four crackers
I'm good for the night. I'll drink water. I'll drink a little coffee. I'll watch tv
This one night. I ate every
Once I ate that banana and that apple like it's set my appetite
And people will not even you can't eat if you eat you fail you fail
You fail and and especially if you do edibles on a day of like kettlebells anything when you're moving metal
Right like monday. Lee and I went to jiu-jitsu and I told Lee on the way i'm gonna leave feel your legs. They're sweating
We worked out today. It's a hundred degree. You know, we're you're hungry. That's one hungry, but that's it
I did like today. I did a good kettlebell worker. I know tonight
You feel about 1130. Oh my god, you're at but you gotta go to bed
You gotta drink coffee and go to bed like a cup of decaf really get you and go to bed because anything after like by 11 20
I i'm looking at my fingers
Like maybe I should just bite one of my fun
Like you get so hot like one thing. Okay. I eat all the fruit
I eat all the almonds, you know, because I got 100 calorie bags of almonds
Once I eat three of those then let's say if I eat three bags of almonds, I'm still fucking hungry
I start on the leftovers
Once I kill the leftovers, you know, I sometimes that's three different leftovers
Yeah, there's not enough for a meal, but if you eat the three leftovers together, it's okay. It's a meal
I love those plates
But I did one of those I had to be two weeks ago an edible kettlebell day
Fucking I went home. I ate the fruit
the fucking
The three leftovers then I started eyeballing the salami the ham and cheese my wife gets ham and cheese
I told the stop but the fucking thing slice ham and cheese
We had no bread at the house. Okay, I haven't had white bread in fucking months. The white bread is a devil
They're white bread is evil, bro. Don't listen when I'm stoned
Again, I'll just tuck a tub out of butter
And I'll sit there with a knife and make white bread with butter and I'll have 10 of you
Now that what's sad is that white bread is so bad for you
But white bread and butter is the best fucking snack on the fucking planet. Oh my god
It is just amazing late night. I'm gonna eat the other night when I went home on that acid
I was I got I went home. Well, I got high the weed first
I called him and he we got really high outside right by the time I went upstairs. My wife was awake
And the baby was all
Then that we're in out that she was in the room. I could hear her in there. No, I'm not
I was gonna say tell us that story real quick because that was funny. What no, I know I'm not. Oh, she's a fucking trick
Those are two favorite words. No, I'm not no problem
Thank you. No problem
Oh
If you say thank you, no sugar, no problem
You should just walk away and shit do mercy's a badass day today. I told my wife's like, I'm gonna make hamburgers and fries
I'm gonna bake these healthy french fries. I said, no, I mean the house is gonna be 2000 degrees. We're about the other week
Heat storm here this week. It's gonna be a hundred tomorrow 105. They said, yeah, they're gonna be fucking hot the next two days
We're sweating tomorrow morning, Doug. Oh, yeah. Oh, damn it
It's gonna get cold again. They said next week. Next week. Yeah, that's it. It's mid-act
The hottest month in california september. Yes, that's what people do not realize
They never get it. It's not it's not obvious like everywhere else like tomorrow and that that'll be it. Hopefully. Yeah, listen
I don't give a fuck. Yeah, you know, we're so spoiled out here. It doesn't really fucking couple of more weeks of this shit
It's fine. You know, yeah, but the other night I really Lee said
I had a big problem when I was a kid like
I
Like to triple when I heard Ozzy Osbourne on fairies wear boots smoking and tripping is all that you do
I lost my fucking right, you know, what people don't realize is okay
Let's say
Uh
Let's just fucking LeBron. Yeah LeBron takes a picture
Tonight just us fucking around LeBron takes a picture of himself with a certain type of water
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 was just getting giggling about myself. He wouldn't fucking answer the 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. It could it wouldn't work. No, you can't whack off on that
That's no sex on that shit. Oh, the sex is good if you were the freak that's on ass and she's working your horn
She's putting fingers up your ass
I took a lot of shits. Do you shit a lot on acid? No, that was the speed
Maybe it was the subway because that's yeah, well the subway too
Who would go the subway on acid only this fucking joke
I was high from the edible and I didn't have dinner
So I was I just went and got a turkeys up a turkey fucking sub
That's that's what made you shit. Don't blame it on the acid
But it let that acid see I when you went to eat
I was like that said he's gonna go to bed
And then I drank call I did something and also I was off and running. I'm like, oh my god
I am fucking blasted. This cannot be and I did a periscope. I was giggling
I went outside and I smoke I smoke and when I almost fell down the stairs
I tell you that on the acid
No, I was an inch from falling down the fucking my front stairs
I went to pop up and I'm like, oh, shit
I fell over the kettlebell my wife left us outside. I had really like dark thoughts. It was weird. What kind of dark thoughts
Like I like I felt bad for a minute like forgetting paul
Like I was like she could have like a lawyer boyfriend
Or something like that and not have to deal with like a crit like this craziness
And like the crazy people on twitter
And like weird stuff like that and then I was like thinking about just me doing acid
It's it's weird for me, man. Like you did all this stuff as a kid. I didn't did you ever dream of doing acid?
This was told from like fifth grade. They're there. Did you put music on that night? No, no
No, next time we'll bring in music in there. Yeah, we're gonna darken to get some candle sunday night
We're doing an acid fucking podcast. Oh nice. I mean harry and lea popping. It's we got anarchy edible
The podcast is great. We got a fucking some reefer. We're gonna roll a few joints
And then uh, someone's gonna fall down those stairs. We're gonna have to bring on good air air

Couple shout outs for you fucking savages and the shit out there
podcastville
Look at you little scarf
You guys like music and we're talking about the beat like
It's 2015 the Beatles broke up in 71 or something like that. So it's not even yeah, you know
When I was growing up everybody wouldn't shut the fuck up about the brakes
You know, it wouldn't they wouldn't shut the fuck up. They would not shut the fuck up the Beatles are getting back together
blah blah blah
Meanwhile, fucking paul mccarty's writing some monsters
He wrote monsters in the 70 and john lennon's firing adam and george harrison wrote 33 and the third ringo stars
Just ringo stars. He's he's somewhere jumping up and trying to put an all-star band together with a bunch of fucking addicts and shit
And they got to cancel the tour 12 dates and nobody's showing up no more ringo. We thought it was a joke, though
We don't want to play with you. You're a fucking joke
But it was it was really weird how people had hope
And somebody had put the kids I hung out with hated two people in jersey in high school
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Heart was on tour, you know, everybody was on fucking tour. I mean that was the big thing
You went to see everybody and nobody got all fucking tour. 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. I don't like the early stones the early Beatles or even the early stones as much
Yeah, there's a part where the stones where they pick up and they just blow my fucking doors off. Yeah, man
I you know what you know what my favorite stones is some girls
Which is a lot of people don't like it, but I fucking love miss you. Yeah, that's so miss you. Oh come on
That was my freshman year dog. That shit took me some girls is the shit
That shit took me apart that I was taking motherfuckers apart
If you watch the beginning of a close range after Sean Penn has the beef
They fucking do that song and you know and it takes you right when
You know when you do the soundtrack to your life, you think of those summers
You think every summer the biggest summer for me was you know, uh, peter frampton comes alive
Yeah, Jesus christ. That was the summer of 76. No matter where you went
I still remember the summer when it was
Hey, hey
My my
Badam badam badam
Rock and roll will never die. That is this
Badam badam badam
These are your this is your biography. These are things that the footnotes is what you remember
Whenever you're watching a movie and they go back and they flash back
What's the first thing they drop on you the music the music the music to bring you right back there
Boom boom boom boom boom boom
That's still a shit. That's still the 16 year old Steve Woodward. He was 16 singing that fucking song. That's what's crazy
He's six imagine being 16 years old and singing the way he sang in that fucking song. That is crazy
That's on Steve Wood. Oh, it was it. Um, yes, Spencer Davis. Give me some love and that's some love
That is that is a fun. He's fucking 16 years old. They said he sounded like a Ray Charles
I read something once and they were like he drove people crazy that jam when I was a little boy
What year did that come out?
See what year that came out of Spencer Davis. I'm gonna say like what 67
And I'm so well this wikipedia says 2013, but that's not real

You've been through the ups and downs you've been fighting for fucking years duking it out
back crazy girl friends, you know, the jersey
Took a picture of your dick
And then she didn't want to leave you alone and you got this little blonde that was 20 with long legs
You shoved the tongue up her ass and she couldn't take it no more. She's going back to Ohio
So I can't take this no more back against freaking out putting tongues in my ass and whipping me at night
I'm just a simple girl. I just want to suck it take some time to try to watch cartoons and play with a fucking little superhero
Jerry's got me sucking his dick bent over
Jerry's a little dirty freak dog, you know what happened? He's got he plows to these freaks
In about a year. You'll see Jerry no more bracelets. She took everything the bracelets the indian fucking scarf
The little christian chain
And he's back on laurel canyons solo
His little fucking studio apartment over there. How many bitches have gone? You don't even have windows over there
You just kill them and throw them out
How long have you been with this about a year about a year in love that's it. Oh, she's great
Yeah, man go for a living nothing yet. She just moved out here. So she's gonna figure that out all right, florida florida

She loves smoking weed. I'll tell you
Only this fucking gem up. Do you want to smoke some more hash?
No, no really
I got
We'll put a little hashish before you go home. I don't want to send you home all straight and shit. I'm not straight, bro
It's not a port at one out on the internet. You're what it's not a port at one on the internet
Look at the shape of you
And you only ate a hundred milligrams and I told you
Seven hundred
You wait a hundred. Yeah, right. You eat a hundred million. I said two fifties
You ate a hundred and fifty milligrams
sure
What are you saying? I don't want to smoke some more hash. No, it's not enough
It's not enough for me
All right
I'm very proud of you. Jerry. Thank you so much. I want to have you on tonight because I really appreciate that man. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. Yeah, Ari was like number nine one year
Yeah
He booked the Kia commercial
