Monday November 9th the day the devil was buried his seat raped lit on fire fucked in the ad
Chlamydia oh shit a little Roxy music for you motherfucker's old school here
What?
Oh shit
The church what's happening now Lisa at flavor old school like this motherfucker
Are you fucking kidding me this motherfucker
Oh
Fucking tremendous. What is Lisa at you bad motherfucker good to see you. It's been a while
I know I haven't seen you since last week and shit, you know, we've been seclusion
Which Portland I tell you I used to go to Portland 1995 when I worked used to work at club Harvest, which is still there
But Harvest is a very clean room, you know helium is
2015, you know
Do it were you clean when you had to work at Harvest? Oh my god
I tried but the guy's mother came on Saturday night for the early. Oh, it's that place. Oh, she fucking hated me
Harvey's was I've been in those days. I don't know. I remember the Portland
It's just being dark. I had a lot of strip clubs. I
Got blow a few times, you know, I went out. It was okay
But okay, it wasn't the real deal like it wasn't like a a city that would visit or something now
Fucking now
It's they've done great things and the people are fucking dynamite. I went to a few weed stores Parma
Farmer great fucking weed store. I got some CBD's. So is it legal there? It's legal
What is it like you just walk and give me a license and go to the back jack edibles aren't legal yet from what I'm hearing
But everything else is pretty straight, you know, we always if you're a comic or a fan of comedy
Oh, you listen to Rogan's podcast
Whenever I go on it in my comedy, whatever the club was the city was Houston
You know in the 90s when I was developing your class the fun city
I had a lot of fun cities
But the ideal one the comedy scene where you went you had to have your a game
It was Houston, Texas and what years was this like night really 97 to 2000
For the Houston comedy scene was really hot
You gotta imagine that you know 10 15 years before that Kenison and Hicks and
Carla bow and all those guys were walking around down there at the
I thought I forgot the name of the club, but it was the last stop when we were down there. So what?
When you since you've been doing comedy what are the bigger markets like so it was in Houston for part
What is it now or Houston just became a hip place to do comedy?
Mark Babbit made that room when when Mitch Hedberg and Tom Rhodes co-headlined in 97
That set a statement up that was like a tremendous fucking statement like 98
I think they Tom Rhodes had been on a ABC show NBC show and the show got canceled
But he was still a very funny guy. He still is a fucking funny guy
And nobody was booking him it seemed like he was in limbo and Mitch was friends with him
It said was friends with him from Florida or something Mitch goes, why don't you fucking?
Go headline with me and get back out there and that caused this fucking thing
You know he was already bringing in Dana Gould and acts like that and all of a sudden
He started bringing a rogue and in stand-hope and all those guys taped their CDs down there
And it just became this cool. You know the Monday night at the last stop was from 8 to 2
That's unheard of there was that many fucking open my comics doing seven ten eight minutes ten minutes
And didn't you say that sometimes as a headliner you'd stay for that show?
Yeah, you'd stay on Sunday you stay for Monday afternoon and partied and because chewy's it was a special chewy's the Mexican place it was
Stuffed shells chicken and sour and
Chicken and sour cream enchiladas. Oh nice. So we would just stay eat that and that fucking do the open mic on Monday nights
Portland has become that
The last three or four times. I've gone to Portland. I see the comedy scenes growing Ron
Frontiers is from Portland. Yeah, there's another kid. That's from Portland, Oregon
And that's what that's all I've heard for years is how great Portland is a city is so I'm just surprised to hear that
You didn't have a good time there before but what it was what I'm saying to you all these cities
Developed you know over the years they developed that they become you know that they become very gentrified
You see all the same malls and stuff like that, right?
I used to go to your D the store of the
That was the Nike store. That was what I went to Portland for every time really the Nike store was off the chain downtown
What would it have just it just didn't it had everything Nike in 1995? I was a knucklehead 96. I
Was that I wasn't fat yet. I wasn't really fat yet. I was probably 30 years old 30 one or something
I was walking around fucking Portland. I would go down there and stay with Floyd J. Phillips who now lives in
Michigan, he's originally from Michigan. Okay, and he was a comic and when he would leave out of town
I'd stay in his house and do Harveys
He wasn't kind enough to let me stay there and do Harveys and and you didn't do it that often when you were twice
I see I don't living in Seattle
I did Harveys twice a year, but there was so many other rooms that some nights
I would just stop driving and go to Floyd J. Phillips is in crash
He'd leave me a key
Okay, and I sleep on the floor and it was me sleeping there. Josh Wolf slept on that kid's floor
Everybody he was the guy to stay with him Portland at the time
I've always been kind of a loner sort of person and but do you think it's possible to be a comic and not and
Be a loner because I'm just hearing like it would freak me out to have people just staying on my floor
But it sounds like you guys did that all across the country
It's
I'm a loner
For the most part if you gave me a fuck when I was growing up when I was younger
I wanted to go to a desert island
I wanted to go to a desert island and have 20 thought like a truck full of chicken cutlets. Yeah, we're hot
And the cranberry juice that was my dream
That was my dream cranberry juice club soda and chicken cutlets and I could live on an island and then back in my mind
I didn't think I needed communication
I was I was raised an only child
So I know I'd have a party in my head. You had reefer. I really don't need to talk to nobody
Right, you know, there's days when I do comedy
I won't leave the hotel room like I go eat and I'll go for a walk to 7-eleven or whatever
But pretty much the only communication I have is with you or my wife or a friend or an agent or somebody's calling me
So this couple hours, I won't say a fucking word in the hotel room. Then I get on that fucking stage
I'm a cage. I don't know. That's why I do that. Okay, you know, when you become a comedian, you're making a statement
You're making a statement that you want to go on stage by yourself
Right there. You're alone right there. You're alone, you know, most people go on stage as part of a band
Most people get on stage as part of
An improv troupe. You're alone
So right there that tells something about your personality. Yeah, if you're alone when when I first started comedy
I was in that car by myself
constantly and
Then there were situations where you share a ride with a comic
Let me tell you something if you don't get along with that fucking guy
You guys have different views after two hours that becomes the longest fucking ride of your life
I can't even imagine a comic that brings this girl from the fucking car or something like that
That becomes the longest fucking ride of your life now
Because it's two men and I gotta have a third fucking wheel
Injecting and dissecting and giving her fucking quotes on comedy and trust me when you're a comic and you have three comics in a car
And a comic brings his girlfriend and she starts interjecting fucking stupidity all three comics want to kill that motherfucker
It's just odd man up. It's like a three female comics where they are one of them brings their boyfriend
It's the same fucking thing. So I'm not just picking on women here. I'm saying this just doesn't work
So you have two people in the car. They really have to get along
Especially for long triple run five days some days eight hour driving you got to be able to like the same music
You both got to be able to smoke cigarettes. You both got to be able to smoke weed
You know you not being a smoker me being it's gonna fucking kill you in the car
So there's all these little things, you know, so sometimes you just don't get involved, right? Yeah, sometimes you go
You know what I got to do something till 5 30. I'll do something later. I'll come down later, you know, and they're like, okay
So me I like to drive without the radio on before gig really
Yeah, if I got a gig even at the economy, so I don't put the radio on the way down. I'm thinking I'm in my fucking head
Why would I want to bring somebody?
That's my 10 minutes to warm up. I'm in my fucking head thinking about us. Sometimes
Sometimes when I'm driving at night and I have a gig, you know, I do I pick a time in my life
And I just pick a story from it and I tell myself the story out loud
No, okay, just to refresh myself of those thoughts or what happened or
I'll do that. Just a certain time in my life
I'll pick 1978 and I just think of me going to booze basketball camp with checking me green and Ralph Fusso and the council fucked
With us, so we stole his shoes and we'll put a bar of soap in there
We put shampoo on that motherfucker and melted and you know, just stupidity just to jog my memory
When when did he start doing this a couple years ago
I felt that it was it's like a singer when a singer goes to sing
He goes in the back and he sprays his throat like a fucking moron. He starts doing throat exercise
We just warming up his throat. It's the same thing with your mind
My my instrument is my mind on stage. There's no fucking notes. It's my mind
If I write in a daytime a lot when I go on stage
That's nice like stealing because my mind has been exercised all day. That's so interesting. I've exercised my mind
So when I get up in the morning
I get that cup of coffee and I clean the little box and I roll that joint and I do all that shit first thing
I do is I sit down sometimes and I write and then I stop I take a shower and I go back and I write
I look what I wrote before when I was half fucking asleep about my day or what I got to do
I look at the handwriting
all these things that
You don't focus on but is that why you wake up early?
Like is that why you force yourself so that by the time you're seeing somebody you're fully like awake and well
You know, you always want to be your best
So as a comic right now if I as soon as I get up my daughter has no respect for the door
She's too and I can't explain to her. I can't break her sometimes. You just want to come and jump on a fucking bed or whatever
Jump on the desk, you know
So sometimes when you're writing, you know, you're gonna fall into a trap
You really don't open up a door because you know eventually something's gonna knock on that fucking door and break your interruption
Last night. I got up at four
Jesus four to six. I said, yeah for that. I got up to pee and I go fuck it
Let me get a notebook and I got a notebook and I got a big cup of coffee
And I fucking sat there for 15 20 minutes and I went outside and I hit the pipe
Then I came in I started writing just little things no TV
No outside no outside
Fucking up my head. What are you for you because I know it's probably different for everyone
How do you get your brain started for writing?
Like you just sit down think of like what makes you laugh like how does that especially 20 years in you probably thought of every promise by this point
No, because you start thinking about you go to your life now
Now you go to the funniest thing, you know about which is your life the shit you don't tell people, you know
For fucking a year I took this computer on the road and whenever I click on the computer it would say
You know, let's say I'm at the crown plaza right in Portland and say crown plaza
Connect and you click that button then another page pops up and you put your room number and
Your name and you put what do you want high speed internet or the lowest speed for free or high speed for 295 extra and you click it on
and
Then your computer starts up and you have to find another window and click on to that for yahoo and all that shit to come on
I couldn't figure out so I kept calling the front desk when I don't understand what's going on with my fucking mirrors
And then like what's good? What are you talking about mirrors? I think I told the story, you know a lot of
Podcasts your wife told me. Yeah, that would keeps calling these front desk and mirrors and mirrors and mirrors and then we go
We don't know what you're talking about sir. I go. I don't know either
You know my wife she got me this computer for Christmas and she put mirrors on here
What I was trying to say was fucking windows
That's how stupid I am, but who would tell you that nobody would tell you those embarrassing moments. I would
Because I don't ever want you to think that I'm on stage trying to be swarmy. I'm smart. I'm not fucking smart at all
I'm just talking shit up there. So I want you to see my deepest fucking secrets
This last Ari thing I told the deepest secret that I hold
My life with Santoria growing up. That's my deepest fucking secrets
But if I don't get it out there this ain't gonna work
Why Santoria your deepest secret because you don't tell the guy you don't want to tell nobody about your religious things and what you believe
And then I watch that Scientology thing. I'm like of these retards make it work
My Santoria isn't all that bad. This came from Africa. They mixed it with fucking Catholicism. It's got a background to it
It's got a story. Yeah, I don't think do have you got negative feedback for saying you do Santoria? No
But who knows what people believe there's always something. I don't want this on I don't I never want I hate religious people. I
Fucking hate when we're having a conversation and some of these starts preaching Jesus
Listen, this is the wrong time in the place
And I don't know if you did any background check on me
You got the wrong motherfucker to be preaching Jesus in the morning
That always annoys me during sports when they the first thing they do during an interview is like the first person
I want to thank is Jesus because without him
Drives me fucking crazy. Meanwhile, he goes home and beats up his wife on steroids
I know when he has tattoos all over his face. It fucking drives me crazy when they fucking thank Jesus
God and you could tell they're religious that
There's you know, when you go to jail, everybody becomes religious and you could see his people walking out the gate
You could see the Bible through get thrown up in the air. You just see go fuck this. That was bullshit
You know, they don't really believe they just talk that nonsense
And and there's people who talk that nonsense on you and you look at them and you're like you're so fucking shallow
You know, I know the religious people up. I was watching that 30 30. Which one?
Bill McCarthy, have you watched that? No, I haven't seen that one yet
Very interesting because I lived in Boulder at the time. So it was Sal Ineszi and his daughter and what was going on in Boulder
But I used to go to Sacred Heart Church when I moved to Boulder
I used to I was lost in 87 after I fucking went through 22 kilos of blow. I was kind of lost though
My girlfriend my wife at the time and her family went to Sacred Heart and I was Catholic
I figured let me just go back and try to get a little faith
I went back and my wife my girlfriend at the time would always get mad at me for what because I was sitting in the back
I would never sit with her family up front. I
Always felt that I was a sinner and I belong to be in the back
These are just my little personal philosophy. So I was sitting in the back
So how deep is Catholic ingrained and you do that's horrible horrible. You have no idea
I'm the real thing. I have to sit in back
I got a sit in the back was that like a punishment at Catholic school?
He was a punishment in the back of my mind because I wasn't living the way I wanted to be living
For 30 years, I didn't live the way I wanted to be living
We're just talking about this outside people who live with remorse and people who commit and go this is it
Okay, this is what the fuck I'm gonna do
You know and we're talking about sons of anarchy is a great example
We'll get to that later. So I would sit in the back of the church. Okay
And I would just sit back there and think about all the bad fucking things
I did now was a horrible Catholic and how it failed, you know, how it failed as a Catholic and I was a fucking thief, you know, you
know when they fucking
Put Jesus on the crucifix the two guys next to him with thieves and I always figured that I'm gonna fuck him
Yeah, you have no idea do you ever confess all the time really you do confession all the time
What is that I've never done that you gotta go in and tell him a story and then he tells you what to do and you go fucking do
Do you tell me all the bad things? Nobody goes in there and says I suck 22 dick
So there's no real confession. Do you know what I'm saying? Like nobody gonna say father last week
I ate a quailude. I put a big black dick up my ass. I went to this fucking gang members house
I had 10 black guys fucking run a train up my asshole. Nobody's gonna go to church and say that. Okay, so there's no confession. Did you do that?
When I would go in there, I couldn't say well, you know, father, I would go in there and keep it very I
Would go in there and say father bless me father five cents been whatever since my last confession. I stole I
lied I
cheated and I fucking
This was not me I didn't break it down. I didn't tell him that I kidnapped somebody I didn't tell him that I broke into some
Guys house. I didn't tell him that I robbed my godfather. I just kept it very bland
Okay, do you think if you hadn't done drugs you might not have been a criminal because it seems like the only reason you did those crimes were for drugs
No
No, it was
I've always told parents to watch what you tell your fucking kids
You have to watch what you tell on what you do around your kids that that weekend that you
Make your kids stay with your parents and you go drinking and they come back and they ask you what's the matter?
You're like, I'm hung over and they see you hung over that stays in your child's head
Yeah, and your child is gonna do what the fuck you're doing if your child sees you smoking dope
You're his hero
You understand me. So when I was growing up here's my mom and she had these friends that were dear friends that were fucking criminals
So I was exposed to this
Was it okay for me? No
All those years I was a good kid. I did dumb things growing up
You know, I stole money from my godfather. I did dumb things that kids 13 and 14 do
At that age, I know I was gonna be a criminal. No
once I
Once all those things happened I
Felt that the world had turned on me. So now it was my turn to turn on the world once
You have an event happen to you could be anything, man
Your central nervous system you start asking your religion Judaism you learn that if you love Jesus
Whatever the fuck you learn in Judaism to keep it together. Yeah, so if you doubt that and
You doubt life now, you're not gonna have no respect for life. The most important. You're not gonna have no respect for yourself
Once I lost the respect from listen a thief is somebody who a criminal or somebody who loses respect with themselves
Some of you does drugs is somebody who lost respect for themselves somewhere
That's all this, you know when I got off the blow. I didn't work on getting off the blow
Okay, that's for fucking amateurs. That's where everybody fucks up. I worked on my character
What was causing you to do blow what I wanted to go back to the point where I didn't do blow
So I went back to a point in my mind when I didn't do blow one day and I do blow when I was going to karate
When I was with those kids
So what did I do? I went and joined the karate school
Just to open up that avenue. Maybe it was that that was attacking me most people that get off drugs
They lived their whole life getting off drugs. They don't work on the things that got them on drugs
Jesus
Jesus did this is why it took me 30 fucking years to get off drugs
Why don't they do that rehabs because they don't fucking know because the people that are trying to get you off a rehab
Have never done drugs. They have gone and taken a fucking course on your mind
Nobody knows the fucking human mind
Especially when you do drugs you have no idea if they said ten real junkies in the room
I'm not talking ten fucking AA rejects that come in and tell you about the night that changed their life
I'm talking about when people really go dog. I didn't have suicidal thoughts. Well, let me tell you what I was thinking
Let me tell you what I was thinking a five in the fucking morning, okay
What I was not fantasizing about but kind of glamorizing
You know, this is what people don't tell you so when you go to a rehab
We have to stay clean with a focus on staying clean until you get that high again
They don't focus on the things that got you high. What got you high?
Where did you break down? What happened?
Give me a week. What happened and all of a sudden you hear these guys spouting when they were 13
They're fucking lizard. They've seen their dad step on it's something so fucking simple that broke you down as a human being
How long did it take you to figure out what it was?
Like did you sit down for like a couple weeks and just think like I sat down for a couple of years at night at the end of
The night when I was going down on the coke you have this huge crash. You have this huge depression
I don't know if it's like this for pills or whatever the fuck. It's like
And I would want to not kill myself
But I think about what the fuck is going on with my life and I'd make these dumb notes and
And one night I'm sitting in I'm like, wait a second. When didn't I do drugs?
Well, what what age did I detest that?
Because there was an age where I detested all that shit. I understood the marijuana. Let me tell you something
I always understood so you never considered that a drug. No, I always understood marijuana from day one because I saw people giggling I
Saw a drug that made fucking people giggle and get out of their heads for an hour. I saw people
So you'd see people high. Yeah, I saw my godfather highlight my god my real Catholic godfather
The guy who baptized me was the first stone. I had contact with and he was
Great when he was stoned when I was a kid and he'd be stoned my life would be a fucking paradise with him
What movies and food movies and food and and stupidity giggle
He'd fucking giggle. I've been thinking about my godfather
Since last Sunday at church. I don't know why and I looked them up online
You know, we were we were talking about
My wife
Went on to a fucking thing yesterday about a documentary she saw about some woman who was a cheat on
Netflix, she's still diamonds. She was the greatest. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and and my wife was blown away
At two things. She was blown away at the woman's ability to lie and
She was blown away at the she never knew about a person's commitment. You know, we're talking about commitment
And I was telling her I was like she don't understand
I was telling when I used to go in the jewelry stores, you have to do certain things, you know, you have to
Like she said the lady would tell the truth to rob something, you know to gain trust
All these things that a lot of people don't understand
regular normal people
Don't understand it's hard to it's hard to understand like for me
The hardest part would be the worry that I was gonna get caught
Like like just always looking over my shoulder that that seems bananas to me that part of being criminal
You know, people say that they do drugs
to
Comedians, okay, like I was watching the Kenneson thing and and all because comics go home and then when I keep that energy going
So they do coke. That's a great fucking cop up. That's just a great fucking cop up
No, no, because this time I go home now and I just want to drink coffee and
Smoke a joint go to sleep
So the energy somewhere went that that's just something they say, you know, he wants to keep it whatever
but it's so interesting how
Excuse me, I got to tell you what my biggest fucking rush was
In life in life. I'm like my biggest rush right growing up my biggest rushes were
Taking a bicycle and jumping on for ramp like the first time I fucking took a bike and made a ramp, you know
And I landed on my rear tire Jesus fucking Christ makes me nervous just thinking about it
But it was a three it was a three-foot drop. I ain't no fucking evil can evil
I was always a half a fucking bag when I came for that shit jumping off buildings and shit
I got to walk around with a cast and people gonna sign it and my foot smells like an asshole and fuck all that noise
So that's like your biggest rush and then I got really good at basketball, you know, and
You know when you finger somebody or you suck somebody's teddy when you're in the eighth grade or you when you're a freshman
Or you you know, you see a pussy or something like that, but then
you know like a
Big rush for a young man is when you think you're a man when you're walking to a bar for the first time
And you know and you know just anything like that. Yeah, that's a big right setting moment. Let's talk about rushes
Let's talk about something that makes your fucking heart beat and your ears ring
Okay, there's nothing for me
When I would break a door down or climb through a window and I land on the other side of that window
And there'd be nobody home and I knew where the coke was
You have no just thinking about it makes me want to take a shit from the anxiety
I'm getting right now. What if the cops come? What if they come home? What's the neighbors here?
You what if they listen when you it's like anything else in life? Why'd you try comedy? What if you failed?
What if you yeah, but this is sending you to prison
Listen, the others you just get a different job. You don't even think about that stuff. Oh
I know you're here Lee, right? I come here once a week. I buy come here three nights a week
I buy powder from you a particular fucking like you and I know you don't fucking like me
You always got some fucking smart
You always got some fucking half a fucking moron here to heads or something like this or whatever some jerk off
I know you got four to five ounces in here at all times
I know you got six or seven thousand in here. I know you got a safe
But I know that I could fucking break into that fucking safe
I don't like to hit it with a sledgehammer throw it out the window or whatever or maybe you don't have a safe
I don't know
And I sit across the street. I come over here and I cop a few times from me
I never make myself suspicious. You I never catch you catch me looking around
So you just go and just look I'm always watching you and I'm always talking to you
But meanwhile, I'm looking at that window. I'm looking at the drop. I'm looking at what I'm gonna have to knock over
One day, I know that your schedule. I know that at 3th. I found out
That 430 every day you got to leave him pick up your kid
Oh
And you're gone for about an hour. So
For three or four days in a row. I'll come over here
At three park over there watch you walk out getting your car and leave and I'll sit there till you come back
And one of those now when I'm watching for you, I'm also watching for cops. I'm watching to see patrols
I'm watching to see no, I'm not obvious. There's got to be something across the street a restaurant
Do you have like a mentor or are you just doing this based off of instinct because I would not know about this
Well for instincts. This is how I fucking did it
Okay, Jesus. I asked questions without asking questions
About you through different people. So what will happen?
How dangerous is Lee?
Not that if I take this fucking six ounces, you're gonna come look at me with a fucking pistol
Is he gonna come whatever whatever, you know, who does he know?
He might be a friend of somebody that dude might have a friend
Well, I'd be like with the mob or something. He might have a friend
So you got to watch all these things
But if he's just some fucking jerk off and he's trying to be cool and he fucking thinks he's cool
And you just don't fucking like him. There you go. You got your window
So let's pretend I want to break into here in the fucking daytime the front door is open
Right this fucking lock. I could pick this with my eyes closed this fucking line because it's got a thing on the outside of the door
I just pop that with a screwdriver and I kick this fucking door
I
Could do this too and I could kick the door in come in get your stuff and jump out that fucking window
I would case that window. I was crazy Lee
But let's get back to the rush. Yeah, the rush this gave me
When your heart's beating out of your fucking chair, and I would do everything straight and never got high
Businesses business and the whole day before no, I would get like I would always do my little robberies
I try to do them in the mornings. Okay. I always try to do my shit at 11 o'clock 12
I don't want to be hidden with like the night. No, no, no, no the night makes it worse. You're in a daytime you blend
You blend you blend kicking a door down
That's the beauty
How do you blend kicking a door down? All right? You just blend. I just forgot. We came here four weeks ago
We came here five months ago two months ago, and there was some guy laying in the hallway
And he ended up robbing the fucking chair poorly that guy's out psyched everybody
Okay, we all thought he was passed out. Yeah, you're following it. We saw him there, but we didn't really see him
Can you describe him to the cops? He had long hair, but that's about yeah
You saw him, but you didn't see him
That's the fucking talent. Yeah, but he was homeless you like you were sitting. How do you know did you talk to him?
You assumed that he was homeless
You think there's a guy out there who does like makeup and like pretends to be drunk and lays on floors and office buildings
Whatever it takes to take you off balance. That's a professional
When did you get a ham on the podcast?
When I was growing up sidelines, he'd walk into a place slip for he sell the whole package to you
we were just talking about
Commitment if you're gonna be a criminal, you know, we're talking about one of the cheesiest shows of all time
What's the kid's name who tries to kill himself when he kills the junkie chick?
Speed whatever and we're talking about son's anarchy. Okay, right?
We're talking about the dude that did you watch that episode? He takes tries to take the grant the kilo coke
Yeah, juice juice that he hangs himself. He tries whatever. Yeah, that was scary. Okay a guy like Jack's teller a fictional
character like Jack's teller. Okay has
No remorse. I'll pull a gun on you and shoot you. There's people out there that'll like that
You don't know until you meet those people
When I was a kid, I met those people. So I know they exist. So I know my boundaries. I
Know people who fucking wave a gun and talk a big game
And I know people will take a gun on shooting broad daylight not give a fuck
So well, you could just by shaking a person's hand could figure out how you're gonna deal with them
No, no, I didn't say that. I just said that in life
there's people that
You know, so what but so how do you decide whether or not you can fuck with them or not when they pull a fucking gun
I'm put it down your fucking throat and shoot you. Oh, so you have to play by then. It's too. Yeah
You follow me. You never know the animal you're fucking dealing with, you know, if we look at the three last big
TV characters that we've dealt with we've dealt with some great TV characters
We've dealt with what Walter right and breaking bad. Yeah, he's good, right? This guy wasn't a tough guy
He wasn't a heavy. He was nerd and I'm just talking about whatever bullshit
But the characters that we've had then you've had now I've met people like Walter
That aren't heavy
The heaviness is their genius. Yeah, like the guy the guy who did the chicken
Whatever is the Spanish dude?
Poyl Hermanos or whatever the guy who owned that Walter Fring and then the black dude in Sons of Anarchy the guy
Pope Pope who is just like a business dude
They turn what they do into a genius and you have to respect that in a way when you see a guy like Pablo Escobar
Making 60 million a week or whatever the fuck he was yeah
You have to sit there and realize that that guy on the first of the month starts from zero
Starts from zero like we do he figured out a way to
You know, whatever on the system. I'm not talking about a hero here. I'm just talking about a cat a person's character
You talk about a guy like Tony Soprano
All right compared to Walter
That he'll shoot you right he was ruthless and
Sometimes I know that I say things and I look at your face and you've never heard somebody say shit like that
That's why I've always loved the character of Tony Soprano
Because he sucks everything up and he moves on with it
He knows this is a business. We got no time to fuck around. I
Know deep down inside you ever see when he would talk when you go
I know deep down inside these guys don't like me, but what they don't know is I don't like them. This is a business
We're just fucking a business here. This is a business and before everything
There's business. There's an episode when he goes Tony. I got their leg
You know how it is to have a kid. I had to pack the car up. Didn't you do that? He goes. No, I never did that. He's serious
He never did that. There's guys that
You know my ex-wife she used to bitch that when her dad was in uniform. He never picked them up
There's people who respect what the fuck they don't and they don't play around
I get I understand I look at mercy. I look you straight in the face as a man
when I had Jackie I
Would kill you I was fucking that crazy
Because I was I don't know what I was trying to prove and I don't know whether drugs were taking my mind
I look at mercy now and my age now and I couldn't imagine
Doing what I was doing at 20 to make a living. I
Don't know how a person with a child
Could carry a gun that's beyond me like I look at my stepdad. I look what my mom was doing
I look at what the people around me were doing. I thought you wanted a gun
I thought you were I want a gun but for protection. Okay, I'm talking about I don't understand how people with a kid
To get in that car today at my age now with what I know and what I've seen
To get in that car like the work the worst thing I could do right now
If I stopped doing Tommy and stopped doing this podcast and I had to make a living I
Probably book make
That's the safest thing I would do with a child sports book numbers little gambling
That's the safest thing I would do or I get into legal medical marijuana business
You follow me. That's the only option I have is a criminal
For me to let's say I was Italian and to come out of jail and have a baby of 52
I'd have to go out and be a captain and smack people and shoot people and
Have stolen stuff around me and fucking deal with people. I won't are you kidding me? That's softened me right up
Yeah, I'm gonna see took the wind out of my fucking sales. Could you have done it without mercy? Do you think oh fuck?
Yeah, that's what it's in my DNA. Okay, so I understand compartmentalizing like the stuff you do as your job, right?
And I get the rush
But three days later when you hear the cops are looking for you or three days later when you see the story in the newspaper
You don't get nervous the cops only look to me maybe two or three times in my life
That's two or three more times and I want to read maybe four times
Oh god cops came to places where I were and arrested me and let me out an hour too later like ten times
That's a lot
But cops were actually looking for me in my life like looking for me looking for me
Maybe three or four times and they found me and they never found me. I
turned myself in in
Seattle they came for me for a warrant that was issued because I didn't show up to court
But I didn't know the warrant got issued
Do you understand I'm saying when they were looking for me for the kidnap they came on the paper
They were looking for another suspect. My name was not but you never got you never got nervous
Like you never had anxiety about that like I understand that it's part of the business, but that's part of the party. You got to be positive
You got to be positive
Listen when you're on the other end of that robbery
You know who robbed you
Seven out of ten times six out of ten times your first thought is always if it's a drug of money robbery
But then you can't turn them in or you can or
How do you know or yeah, I guess with the drugs you can't turn them in
money you could
If you were a drug dealer Lee and you sold drugs for a few years and also and you got robbed
You'd make an inventory of who knew you had the stuff who was asking questions
Who you saw around the building? That's another thing if one of your friends saw me at that restaurant across the street eating looking at you
I'm done. Yeah scam is done
So I have to bet. Oh my god. You have no idea how I used to have the case joints
Did you ever get caught cuz I was gonna ask when the time the time we were sitting in your car
You might as tons of time where I caught
Use I was in the neighborhood eating. Oh my god. What's happening? None?
And when you're casing the joint, you're not sitting there with fucking binoculars like the DEA
There that's why the feds always get made because they're fucking stupid. They sit there or they get an apartment
You see the curtains moving
You know
You make somebody you drive by you drive by you walk by you have to have a purpose to go there
You always have to have a purpose to go there
But especially if I'm a drug dealer if I walk out there and I see Lee across the street
Lee, what are you doing here? Oh nothing? I'm just walking neighbor. Boom right away red fucking flag
Why because what's he doing in my neighborhood if he's not doing something he should be coming if he's coming to my neighborhood
He should be coming here
He shouldn't be going walking around the fuckers now. Let's say that there's a Chinese place across the street
And you go to the Chinese place and you bring people with you. Okay?
I'm gonna tell you a story real quick. Okay, and we'll go to break it
There was this kid when I was growing up. I didn't really fucking dig him at all. His dad was a mom so he left a wife
He was being raised by his his mom the kid was a spoiled fucking little
fuck and
He uh, I think I told this to he fucking later on after high school when I went to Colorado
I came back and I was buck wild I
Tried to work. I came back in 84 and I tried to work from February to like May of June and I said fuck this shit
This is not working. I'm going for it. Just criminal stuff
Just criminal stuff bartending to keep me sane, but just criminality stuff selling coke
If I could rob something I'd rob it if I went to a party somewhere. I was always on the fucking make bro
I could not be fucking trusted
Okay, I cannot be fucking trusted. I had my friends who I would never rob but I loved the Holloway's
Conti shit like that, but I had I loved I was a 24-7 criminal and
One day I found out this kid was selling coke
And I knew his stupid hours. He had a day job and he partied all night, but he came home for lunch to get coke
So coke during lunch, I don't know what he did, but he came home for lunch. Okay, so my scam was
I didn't want to catch him
before lunch I
Had to catch him as he was leaving
Why because I gave me more time
All I would have was 8 to 12 and then he would know and he wouldn't go back to work and he'd be hunting all of us down
This gave me I just to like at least five right
So I clipped this guy up like 10 after one as he was leaving I went in
And I got him for like an ounce of blow and 1200 bucks whatever
First thing I did after I robbed him was a hung up to the corner to the neighborhood deli where we hung up I
Got a sandwich and a you who a potato salad on the arm and I borrowed 20 bucks
I signed for 20 bucks out of the register
Because I knew when the kid would got robbed he was gonna go up there looking for me and the guy was gonna go
You're crazy. He just was up here and he got a sandwich on the arm and he borrowed 20 bucks
Jesus I was covered the whole fucking while I would not do a line of coke
I
Would take the money I robbed me and give it to one of my friends
And I take the coke and stash and I would not touch that coke for two days
So he couldn't tell it all but then this is another question. I've always had good when you stash it somewhere
I I I always be thinking about it like I'm like I don't know if it's even selling maybe rats got it
Like you don't worry about it. Sometimes I would sell it and flip it and keep a little bit and do a couple bumps that night
But mostly I would stay clean for two days
Just so if he came at me, I was clean. What are you talking about?
Look at me. I haven't done a fucking line in two days. You're wrong and
Then he would ask around was cocoa out last night getting high fuck. No, we haven't seen him in two days
He was out there and I drink club soda
It's a commitment from A to Z dog. It's a commitment from A to Z. We were talking about remorse
I was a horrible person. Not that I hurt people or nothing like that, but I was robbing people
Do I feel bad about today? Fuck. Yeah, there's certain people I feel horrible about but it's done. It's water under the bridge
Have you apologized? I've tried
What do they say?
Fuck you
It's understandable. There's a couple people. I don't want to apologize to my godfather. I really do I feel that I
Could tell the couple times I seen him that he was heartbroken and now as I get older
I know what that heartbreak is one of your friends and you don't get along or something
I could see it. I didn't understand the heartbreak at 21 22 when I had done that to him
You know, so I feel really bad about shit like that
But I had no remorse at the time if if it was between me and you you were going down Jack
You were going fucking down if I was in a pinch. I
Would just take those dry loved it
I fucking loved it and that's why I think I like comedy as much as I do
That's the point I was getting to
Because the only thing that gave me a rush like comedy in the beginning was like thiefing
was comedy I
Love my heart to beat. Oh my god. I used to is it when you're killing like what what about comedy gets you that rush?
Excuse me, you know, it gets me just going up there
That first 20 seconds man is fucking
phenomena and
Once you learn how to control that rush
That's and now I understand rollercoasters. I don't fucking like rollercoasters. All right, I'm scared
I'm a pussy for rollercoasters, but I would never judge somebody who went on rollercoasters
Because I understand what it's like they control that
that rush but
Is it is it like does have to be an ovation or could it be for people?
Just the fact that I'm going on stage those 30 seconds as those are like the crowd going nuts the applause and all that that's bullshit
That's a complete different part of the game
Just getting up there just sitting in the grid listen, you know, it's like me saying you listen
You want to jail in 20 minutes and sit here on this couch
You're gonna see you think well, it's the same concept you have to make it like that like for me
I turned it into fun for some people. It's horror like public speaking
Oh, yeah, that would be in front of 200 people the first time you did it the laugh factor
You're falling up bless you. Hi, you're very good at it now. Well, I had done at the ice. I said laugh factory was pretty tough, but that's
Jesus, it's crazy the man
Did you ever when you were starting comic ever to like pretend you were announcing yourself?
I like a comedy club come up to the stage the crowd goes wild
Joe ideas I
Can't
Remember that I did but in the beginning of comedy. I was very cliche really like I you know
I believe that you had to see it before it could happen, you know, and you do you really fucking as dumb as that sounds
As funny as that fucking sounds
You're not gonna be good at something
Unless you see it happening like and you you kind of see it in your mind sometimes
I was a huge
Daydreamer when I was a kid, but like that I can always imagine myself doing things like that. It's weird
I do if you know if you're not fucking dreaming, you're not alive man
Think about that, you know, what gets you to the next level a dream
Every fucking time every time if you think about it, we'll get you to the next level
You're gonna deliver pizza or go back to Boston. It wasn't a dream to get a job, but
You had to think of something. Yeah, that's true. You have to see it first and
Then it happens. You know what I was sitting there last night. I see this documentary. I
Called you whatever one in the morning first. I never called you after like 11. That was the first time really was it?
Yeah, because I was like this. It's just an idea. That's commitment
That's what we're talking about, you know
When you don't commit you're gonna fucking live in doubt like juice did
You're gonna fucking be dizzy and that I do the right thing, you know what man?
You go for it. You don't look back
Whether you're a fucking thief a race car driver. You've got to do a hundred and fifty miles fucking hour
You just step on it and you go what am I gonna do? Oh, and it's horrible
It gives me anxiety just that that that's when that's the whole fucking game right there. That's what you want
You know, what makes paula fucking get up and go to law school and do homework and Jesus fucking Christ. Can you imagine?
Jesus fucking Christ 14-hour days in a law firm typing looking at contracts
There's a dream that you have. I don't know. Yeah, and then you got to say well
You know 14 hours, that's a fucking hell of a fucked up dream
But this is gonna get me somewhere to where I don't have to do this and I could do this side of the fucking law
Yeah, I mean the you always have to assume that you're gonna start at the bottom, especially nowadays. I
Know you probably don't remember exactly
But if you had to guess around that time, where would you be daydreaming about you doing comedy like was it a certain club?
I would just I would daydream at night
When I got home, whether I had a good set or a bad set I
Would daydream the thing is we're gonna get better. Do you know I'm saying yeah some day, you know, I would daydream that uh, I
Would have an apartment and I would have a car and I
Would daydream that I was just working certain clubs
But one of the most obvious clubs that I've wanted to work was the comedy underground in
Seattle and you just think about it and I would think about that club
I think about the comedy works in Denver at the time like headlining someday
Like I didn't even see this other side of the business. I just saw that I was gonna stick it out
So let's say I went home and I had a great set that would fuel my goals
You know I'm doing this tomorrow and if I would go home and have a bad set
To take away the sting from the bad set I would fuel the dream with tomorrow
Do you have anything to do? Do you playing your sets at all? Or was it just the act of doing stand-up?
I think I was just the act of doing standard because I knew I would get better
That's interesting that's really cool. I knew I would get better
So I would talk myself into it whether I had a good set or a bad set if I had a good set forget about it
I was getting closer to the Seattle Underground and that's so weird because I
dreamed about Seattle from
probably
March of 94
Like I had little list, you know
What places you wanted to do? Yeah, every time I would go to the Denver County work on Witsendor, McKelvie's on the way out
I would take the paper
Even if it was the same paper I
Did that as a reminder that I went out that night
Do you follow me? So in those days? Yeah, I went from Monday to Friday. I went out to different comedy club
Comedy clubs with my line. I went out to different bars, you know country Western bars and like I did
I would do a line dancing class. I didn't do the line dancing class
I would do comedy after the line dancing class. You never joined him. No, I was embarrassed
That was an achy breaky heart was big way before you even you know, this is Miley Cyrus's dad
That started that whole fucking line dancing
We would get there quarter to seven a quarter day and I would just sit in my car and watch them
And then as soon as I see Andy Payton, that was his name
He would go to the stage and say good evening in five minutes the comedy show is gonna start you and here
You know, you're a beginning comic. You're ready to do comedy
There's 80 people in the room and Andy Payton will go up and go to the shows in the starting five minutes
If you want to stay stay and all of a sudden the whole room we get up
And leave leave right in front of you and you sit there
Like I drove all the way here and they'd be like an old couple and some young kid and maybe two-factor girls and
You go up there and do comedy for like seven people on a Sunday night
That's the truth for no money sometimes 25 bucks sometimes 20 bucks
But they still have the same rush as you do as when you do and then I would drive home and let's say Tuesday night
I went to the comedy works for the open mic. I
Would take the newspaper if I went to McKelvie's on Friday to do a guest set or Saturday
I would take the paper. He'd always had that comedy newspaper there and
Even if I had read it already I would take it home just to circle my goals that night
Do you follow me and hold a second? I go to Michigan. I
Talked to a friend of mine. I go winking you and I go on the road
We're gonna go just pick a week and I picked Detroit and I'm at a girl and
Fucking the girls telling me that in two weeks. She's moving to Seattle
So all that and she invite you
No, she didn't need to I just
I guess I'll move to Seattle to put some music on cocksucker Monday November 9th me and Lee going old school tonight here
Question and answer bullshit and Lee's eyeballs are starting to get ready to shit. He wore a purple shirt starting to get ready
I'm high as a fuck tonight. I feel good very nice combination of stars the chocolate
Yeah, the hash is tremendous to
Don't worry about leaving my fucking
Earbuds already blown
Where cattle bells tomorrow jiu-jitsu at 945 we're meeting
I don't know if you're going that early. I'll see how I feel. I gotta go and sweat a little bit
Kettlebells at 11 I
Got acupuncture mom surprise. She hasn't called me to confirm. I got a spot at the store tomorrow night
Been busy couple fucking days. I put this audition down
For a pretty funny fucking show Lee and
Do they ask you to like to audition or how are you sending it in by yourself? I sent it in already. I went on but did they ask you?
Yeah, yeah, it's cool. It's
Pretty interesting show but
Like my lines are fucking out there. Is it something you could be on every week or I think I'm too old
Let me tell you something what I did guys today last week. I want to spend 369 dollars to confirm what I already know
I'm an ugly old cocksucker. Do you understand me and you get old quick people. You have no fucking idea
How do they charge you for that? That's what you call us for headshots. I didn't know what you did, okay?
What do you think I know I'm fucking ugly book today. I got the pictures. She took 80 pictures all of them
We could put them in a horror magazine fucking a horror show. I don't even know what the fuck I'm looking at them for
I'm looking at these things going. Wow. Wow
You got to really stop doing drugs early. You got to catch yourself
And you got to take good care of yourself when you're young if not you got a little fucking quick dog
I was in shock, but I know I accepted it. What are you gonna do? You can't stay like, you know, I can't let a bread pit forever
No, why they don't even need to be 369 dollars to look at these pictures and go. Oh my god, it's almost over
It's almost fucking over. Is that all you're thinking as you're looking at them. That's all I was thinking
I wasn't upset. I know, you know, as long as you know this going in so we can use any of them or no
I have no idea. I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do with these things
What had what what poses did you do? Oh, you know me?
Sitting by the pool, you know, yeah, what kind of poses do they do for a headshot lead those dumb fucking things me and
You know, it's I got I got nine chains. I got a fucking. Oh, no
No, I had a fucking this pimple was alive and kicking over my head. So every picture I got a red dot
So I got to take it to the looter finishing now. I'm blowed all right a fucking pimple, you know, I hate that shit
I like but I like labella figura to come in fucking full effect. You know what I'm saying
I feel you don't I'm think I'm gonna I'm pretty sure I'm gonna shave my head tomorrow. That's what you want to do
Do you walk around for fucking a Jew holiday with no hair? What are you gonna do?
I work with this guy one of my last TV jobs and he had like no hair
But he still kept it and I remember thinking I was like if I ever look like that
I'm gonna kill I have to shave it and
We move the camera positions today and I looked and I was like, oh, bro
This is going down further and further again. I always thought I had more in the back, but it's just gone now
I had no idea it's the reefer
nah
Who knows maybe they're abandoning ship, but I have one of my family's balls literally everybody
So I think I'm your brother. Yeah, we he actually shaved it too. He's been shaving it for a while. I
Think I'm a toughie Lee now at any level told mom. I just want I had a friend that was very
My god, I think back on how
How much time and effort he took to hide conceal spray paint
Go to fucking tests vitamins rubs
magicians, I mean
Well for me, I think of his life and it was just
Brutally, I took propitia as a kid. No, what's propitia? It's a pill to stop it. And it were you
Maybe middle school
But it stops it it does stop the hair loss, but then they came out that like fucks with your dick
So they stood they took me off of it
But I think for me I was just chubby from like an early age
So like even I'm just now learning like what kind of clothes to get I would always just get jeans and polo shirts
That's all I would get because that's really they would fit
So I never I never like was that like into like going for girls
I was always shy and everyone in my family was bald. So I was like, yeah, it's just gonna happen
I was short. I'm short and ball. It's like, yeah
It's an add another thing. I just know that a lot of you look at a lot of men and they've gotten the thing
And it's torture for them, you know, I had a friend that you know, I thought I love him and for years
He lied about you know night
I accepted it because I I
Couldn't imagine what are the options the the comb over what took stupid
Getting plugs, I guess which I guess is looking better, but I don't know. I
Don't know what the plug still looks like a fucking wig does it really to me
It does there's a guy that does a thousand commercials, you know, I'm told I'm is a white guy and I smile
He does a thousand commercials. Oh, yeah, and I look at the hand
American hair club or he does no, no, no, he does everything but American hair club
He does he's now he's in the commercials in a race car and he gets in the passenger seat the chick drives
He's always in the fucking commercial. He's got a hair plugs and
What whatever, I mean, I'm not mad at him. I just always
My perspective I wanted to know why my bed my friend Glenn lost it
I mean this went on and it was fun and I was a friend of his
So when he had a few cocktails and he'd take Valium or whatever
He'd spill the beans to me and I'd sit there and I'd feel bad inside like I want to grab and go
Your dad is no his dad wasn't bald. Did he love his hair would he like spend a lot of time on his hair?
No, when he started realizing he was losing his hair he went nuts. Oh, I
Was just new I guess from the spray
I remember going in his car with him and him gonna look around and I thought out we were gonna do a blast of coke
And all of a sudden he'd open up his window. They take a spray can and
He'd spray the back of his fucking head like and I go what the fuck I didn't know what he was doing
I tried Rogaine for a couple weeks for like he did Rogaine. He did he did Rogaine. He did the stuff
You're rubbed. He went to a specialist where you rub stuff. He went to a one like a organic Hila
thousands
Thousands upon thousands. I think there's any way to reverse it
Other than I could see now. I'm losing my I've been losing my head for fucking ten years from these this headshot today
I was like, wow, I've lost a lot of hair. Does it make you happy my head?
No, because this is part of who the fuck you are
Listen, somebody once told me something when I got to Hollywood. They go, you're gonna lose. You're gonna win the whole time
They go good-looking guys get old and they get ugly. You're ugly to start with
You're gonna get ugly and all the it's not gonna matter. You're gonna stay the same which makes sense
But you look at these guys like Richard. Yeah, he's old now, you know
Val Kilmer ain't the same fucking Val Kilmer from Top Gun. He ate a thousand fucking cheeseburgers
What about are you gonna see the new the new rocky?
From what I'm hearing. Yes. Really? It's supposed to be good. Yeah, they already put an order in for a sequel
Jesus Christ
Because it's scoring so high and uh in the whatever
Listen, man. We've had this talk about tons of people
From myself to david tell to just because somebody is not
Uh, what's that word to you appealing to you like you like oh fuck him doesn't mean he's not going doing good work
Stallone. Stallone is a fucking genius. You look at the guy you like look at his moron
How many for he has two of the biggest?
Well people could describe brands today, right? That's what people say everything's branding. Well, guess what? Who do you think invented the branding?
Sylvester Stallone, yeah, limbo and rocky one started in 70 and one started in fucking 80 81
So what branding are you fucking talking about?
Fuck oh and my issue isn't really with Stallone
It kind of is because he they wouldn't do the movies if he didn't want to
My issues just like what is his number seven? Wait a second. They wouldn't do the movies if they didn't make money
Let's get it. It's not because he goes in there and says fuck you
They do it because he goes they they tell him go back and write another script
He's gonna write another one about Rambo killing Isis a 70 year old
With muscles and explosions, you know, oh no, no, and we forgot the expendables right another franchise another

So I went to portland, origan great place
I was high as soon as I landed though
Was it a burbank flight burbank thought nice nice like a doctor
They put you a little port of recombine. So I sat next to a guy a construction guy with a helmet and everything
Did it give you any anxiety every time he turned towards the window the armpit
The whiff came out. It was horrendously fucking bad
There was only one
Store this so I was hitting that vapor pen like a soldier. I was fucking baked by the time I got the
I got the poor any edibles
Uh, no edibles. I didn't take any edibles with me
So the first fucking day I get to portland
I go on this guy's radio show
And we're having a nice conversation
I told him how I felt about you know
the documentary and how
The bullies and the guy fucking went crazy
It was the weirdest thing. It was you know, like you told me about it
And I just went and found it online. He put it up as a podcast and you guys are having a good conversation
like you guys were like
It's just and then you you told the story that you told a bunch about your mom making you go fight another guy
And he was like, you think that's a prime violence
You know manly. I'll tell you what happened to me
That was a big turning point in my life
My mom did two things to me one time. She picked me up at that Catholic school
And on the drive. She's like before we go home
You got to go to the bar and fight this kid
Why because he had spit it
I was maybe nine how old was the kid maybe 10 or 11 or 12
And my mom told the kid to be there Friday at a certain time that her son was going to fuck him up
This is how crazy my mom was and I remember fighting the kid on the side of the fucking bar
We drew like maybe three or four punches at each other and I cut his lip and he fucking got his body and that was the end
My mom gave me like 50 bucks. I was a fucking national hero
That's what I daydreamed about sometimes because I never got in that fight
I would daydream
About fighting the the people who are mean to me. Listen, you know how you daydream fighting
Yeah, you get punched in the fucking head and the daydream goes away, right? You don't want to be a fighter. You don't want to get ahead
No, Jesus
Once you landed on me on that thing. I don't want to fight you
You're a little torpedo, but
That wasn't
sticking up for yourself
You know for years living here. I didn't stick up like as a comic. I never stick up for myself
The comedy club on this I never stuck up for myself for years. This is recently
Because when I was hooked on the blow and in the beginning as a comic, I didn't know any better
You don't know how many years I took shit because I didn't know any better from who like who would give you shit bookers
Uh
You know
Fucking bookers when I first got here was so fucking dickish to me
What would they do like how would they be rude to you?
Like what do you want type attitude like who the fuck are you to call me?
Who told you to call me really? Are you funny?
Like they would just have this really weird attitude and I had it
Like I got along with some people, but I was very fearful
One of the worst calls I ever had was I got a call from rogan monday
And he goes hey, do you want to work Las Vegas with me in july and I go yeah, I was a young comic. It's 1998
You dream or all you hear is how
You make all this money in Vegas
Right, right now when I first started in comedy
A lot of people kept coming up to me going. Hey, man. Did you have work for steve scherripper in vegas now?
We're going on a he's gonna fucking love you
He's gonna fucking love you you and him or an item
Wait till he meets you
And there's a comedian very funny
I love him with all my heart steve maguru and steve maguru and him with tight
And I remember working with steve and steve would go i'm gonna put a word in for him with you
You and him would hit it off perfectly
You and him are two peas in a pod
So when I got the call from joe rogan like even then I didn't disrespect the guy
I could have called the guy and said hey steve maguru told me to call you it's las vegas
I was never good enough for vegas in my mind
At the time so when joe called me I was very in shock
What year was this this has to be 98
And that was your first time doing vegas first time ever
And I go yeah, I love to do it and he goes all right. You'll fly with me
And then but call him he wants to talk to you
So I call
entertainment, please
Nice to speak to steve scherripper. Who is joe deez? Hold on, please
Hey, steve scherripper. How can I help you mr. Scherripper? This is joe deez
Joe rogan said to call you. Yeah. Yeah, I've been hearing a lot about you
It was weird. It was a very weird conversation
Like it wasn't and I don't know if I I said something
That was all color or something. It just it wasn't very weird
But I knew it wasn't the conversation I wanted to have because the week pays 200
It's two shows you get a meal card
And that's it. This conversation is over. Send me your bio and resume. He hangs up
Fucking two days later, I got a call from rogan going crazy on me. Would you tell that guy?
He's all pissed off. He doesn't fucking like you now
He doesn't want me to bring you it was the weirdest thing and you don't you didn't get an argument partner. No, no, no, no
I had the situation with the other guy that used to book you for six nights
And then a week before the gig he called you and he only had two nights. That's a scam we might come from
Yeah, always did it. He didn't want the ones all the time. Oh, no, they're fucking so what he'd say he go to you
Where are you?
September 12th through the 17th. It would be Tuesday through Friday. I'm just assuming you go. I'm home. Okay, open up your book
The 12th you're gonna go to ogle on Nebraska the 5th 13th. You're gonna go here the 15 you had five nights
And all of a sudden he facts you a fucking copy of your itinerary
And then a week before the gig you get a call from his office saying
Are you home close to a fax? We have to send you a new itinerary
And you go new itinerary and she wouldn't say nothing to you. She'd say it's a new redone
And all of a sudden you get and it went from a sheet with five dates on it
to a sheet with two dates on it and it was Tuesday in like
Boston
and
Saturday and like fucking South Carolina
Jesus, and you're like, what a second. What about the nights in between while we lost those?
Well, I just can't drive to South Carolina for 150 fucking dollars. Who would do such a thing for a whole week
Yeah, and he would say if you don't do it don't ever call me again, and I'm never I'm gonna make sure you don't work the improv
Jesus
You want douchebags
And after I thought about like he was one of the first guys that I stuck up to
But I told him I was there already and then I called him back and I said fuck you you have no show
That was one of the guys that I stuck up stuck it to
That liberated me
Did they give you a rush?
Did they give me a rush? Yeah
Whenever you stick up for yourself, and you know, you're right. It always gives you a fucking rush
But that time look it never affected me. He told me I would never work the Dallas or any improv in Texas
And then I would never work in Texas again. That's what he told me
That doesn't seem to be true
No, and I took even shit here
You take a lot of shit here from people
I've noticed you take fucking tons of shit in the industry here from people and you got to keep your mouth shut
And it what and then when you say something, you know what you become the guy who says something difficult to work with. Yeah
We had a nice little chat tonight, Lisa. Yeah, see as he does it works. I do. Let me give some shout outs
You don't want you don't want to talk more about the guy in Portland
No, hold on. Let me give some shout outs and uh, we'll get this out of here. Alex moscow tfh4

His brother doesn't speak to us anymore. Really? Yeah, I'd love this brother. You know why his brother stopped treating me
Why because of you?
What I do his brother wanted to be you
Oh, I'm sorry, but he had too long of a drive
He lived in riverside. Oh, and I was put him on simple missions
And he would just destroy him
Like I mean it was like this is what you want to do

And then me and him spoke and I told him what I wanted him to do same thing like you same thing
But he no no no I have an idea for a movie. What fucking movie. Let's just start with the videos. Let's just see
He had this eight thousand dollar camera
He

Come up. I can get him a deuce do some head shots
He did these pictures lead that I had to rip up
Like they were the

They weren't focused or nothing
Then they told me one of the shoot a joey karate video
I go let's shoot the video. Guess what he did. He put the video up without editing it
So the first eight takes
He left on the fucking video on youtube on youtube
What was his response when he asked him?
Who knows lee? Who knows what he was thinking? Oh my god
So then he came up and I said to him listen. This is what we this is how we're gonna start
This is how we have to do it
if you're interested
and
I never heard back
Thank god, and maybe two or three months later you popped up
And I bumped into him like maybe four months later and he was very disappointed
And I told him I said you never got back to me. You didn't want to put the work, brother
You know, you didn't want to put the work. You just want to get put on
You know, he wanted to just get put on like just I just want to come to work. Give me a check every week

So but Rodrigo's a great kid. I'm happy you had him on the podcast. He's a great comic
He goes to school. He goes to Mexico. That dude will fucking tell you about history. Your mind will fucking blow up
Do you understand me?
Really? You sit Rodrigo down. You give Rodrigo a joint. He's a history fucking nerd, brother
Jesus, he wants more talk about oh my god. You didn't he didn't talk to you about that shit
He could break down everything in history to the tee
In a way that he explains it so fucking
You don't you know when something you know, you ask somebody a question and they talk down to you
Yeah, he doesn't talk down to you when he explains history. He breaks it down for your beauty explain the whole Armenian thing to me
The hundred the massacre it was fucking amazing
I had heard the story. I had read about it, but he broke it down
So beautifully I I fucking love people that could break history down. I'm a fucking moron
I don't I wish that I could take a story from history and break it down my way
I just really don't know history. I forgot it. That's why I wanted to fucking take classes
What's going on here cocksucker? What are we doing this week?
Huh, look at the shape. Yeah, I got to go to fucking New Jersey without you
I know I caught you know what I went to look because I was going to switch my plane ticket to do the new york

Animals yeah, if you're gonna follow out with a fucking holidays read the fine print. I'm just not it's just
Why it's so expensive. Have you looked lately everywhere? Yeah, I can't even
I'll go back to boston at some point but never during like a holiday
I got an idea. Don't worry about boston
Anyway, so we were talking about the bully thing, right?
And this guy went off and then I went back to the hotel and I went on twitter
And he had said some stuff but he had said some stuff and blocked me
And I really thought about it and I thought if I was out of bounds
And I thought I hit it affected me and I think about mercy
Now everything I run I run through mercy
What do I want mercy to do?
There's gonna come a day any fucking day and I'm mercy's gonna come home and say some kid hit it
They don't accept it at that school, you know
What do you mean two times they throw you out?
You gotta work you get sent home the first time the second time you get ejected from there
Don't fuck around at that school that school's by the fucking book
You have to apologize gotta do
Everything I say now. I gotta think about mercy. I have to justify this to mercy
Do I want mercy to come home and complain to me?
Do I want to be one of those parents that goes to the school?
And gets a teacher and pulls the teacher aside. I don't want to do that
Well, obviously like the the thing that
And I just turned it off because I can't you can't listen to an argument
So I did that that layer it pissed me off
But his whole argument on twitter was that you were advocating assault
You're not telling mercy to to get a pipe and beat her to death
You're just saying fight back and and and stand up for yourself
Maybe a punch. You're not talking about assaulting little kids
Why do you think I asked you to go to jujitsu beside meeting people? I know you love paula
Yeah, and you know what man?
You at 20 I was prepared to fucking stab something like I was crazy at 20
Like I had some type of weapon on me and I think that where you live
Where you go with paula?
I watch you and you're way better than my wife
You're way better than my wife. You pay attention to your surroundings
My wife is horrifically bad, but
If something about you know, you like to go eat at night at weird fucking places and I worry about you
You could take somebody down now
Keep going don't fucking you know, especially those are sound classes. Oh, that's how he kills you. They're hard
Oh, and I know you're the type of person that
Even if I kick you you wouldn't take me down and kick me in the stomach
You would throw me down hard and get in your car and leave with paula
You have to assume this is gonna happen some daily and you always want to be prepared
What are you gonna be like red band and burbank of two in the morning and some fucking black guy dresses a clown
I'm gonna fucking attack you with a knife. He's the terrible. I don't yeah
There's so many advantages to this one thing. I did have a 20 that
I could run I could I could hit I was I worked out. I lifted, you know, anything could happen
Well, you think I run around scared down anything could fucking happen
I don't want to beat nobody up. I just want to be able to fucking defend myself and run and get in the car and fucking get out of there
Before the cops come that's all that's all you ever want to fucking do
But I wasn't not advocating to hit a strike. Yeah
You know when I got hit with that fucking
Let's say I ever get around to writing this fucking book
That's in the outline that day when I got hit with the fucking lunchbox that stayed with me that stays with you as a child
That fucked me up that made me want to go home getting stitched up and getting my mother
My mother gave me like a fucking
An ear beating in the cab after I got stitched up for getting hit. Yeah
You know, like I was it made me become a different
I I touched that scar from time to time
Jesus fucking Christ. It's not there anymore. If I shave it, you'll see it
And right now I'm starting to faint just touching it just thinking about it how I rubbed it
And on the below is dripping down my face and how I ran from Central Park
I ran five or six fucking blocks
running
And the heart
My heart pumping was making the blood come out more and more Jesus fucking Christ. I'm gonna puke
If I pass out people, please don't laugh. Oh my god, it was terrible. Do you mean something?
No, no, no, I'm good. Just thinking about it. Like how much it fucked the fuck me as a kid like running home
Five or six blocks like running running with the blood dripping as I'm running and just going
Ah, ah and people going can we help again me just pushing people like I was having like it was my first real panic attack
And I still remember running past my house
Like I was in shock. I lived on 205 west 88th street
So I came down 89th and was I ran I made the right and I ran
too stooped down
You're just too excited or too something happened to me and I held on to the stoop and I seen the blood
Hit the fucking sidewalk
And I felt the blood dripping down my face and something made me run up the fucking by that time
The lady the lady who was cleaning the house
She knew something was going on
So they let me upstairs
I went into my house and they had to call my mother to take me to the hospital
This lady that was cleaning the house. I forget what her name was. She took me to the hospital
They had to wait for my mom before they could stitch me up
That's fucked up
So by the time my mom got there my mom was gonna fucking throw because first of all I wasn't supposed to be at Central Park
Oh, that's why okay, so right off the bat my mother was gonna beat me right there at the fucking hospital
Just why wait, why couldn't you be in Central Park because I was supposed to be at school
I played hooky in the first grade. Oh Jesus Christ, Joey
Oh, no, no, no, no, this was the real deal my
How do you play hooky in first grade? I didn't go back to the afternoon session
I
Made Debbie Dominguez and some other fucking kids just took off and I went
I had this
I used to eat hot dogs on the corner 89th street by ps 166
They used to be a little hot dog man that I made tremendous fucking hot dogs
They stopped me and he used to give you an orange drink for a quarter league
It was this little fucking container. It was an orange drink not orange juice little plastic cartons or jugs
Cartons old school. It was a little carton. This is 1969-68 late
You your daddy was still fucking coming on Jew girls in Boston. It's some fucking elementary school
Yeah, let's not talk about that, right? So you weren't even a thought at that time. Thank god
And in the afternoons they used to say you're not allowed to leave the premises. So my mom they made us take a lunchbox of school
That's what happened and then one day we were fucking like fuck this. Let's go to the park
And we went to the park in the park. We started running different directions
And all of a sudden these three six year old monsters and all of a sudden these three little kids
I took them for granted Lee
I took them for granted. I thought we were all together
So it was like bushes in central park. There's a lake in the middle
But we cut we didn't go down the walk in those days. You wanted to be a kid
So you want to be adventurous or you jumped that little wall? It's been years
This is you know, uh, I was active a lot in central park in the 80s. I would go there and kill time
I would go there smoke a joint and walk through the park in the daytime
In the daytime. Is it scary at night? I wouldn't go in there at night in the fucking 80s
They they was known for people getting fucking beat up and dragged. I don't know. I don't know nothing
I just know I wouldn't go there in the nighttime. I would go there in the daytime to kill time
To smoke a joint and walk through the park with a walkman on okay. That sounds nice and
Go to the zoo
No, there was no fucking. Yeah, there was a zoo there
But no, I wasn't until there was a lake and you walk around by the lake and you could rent these little fucking
But this is that they're 40 fucking years. I don't even know what it looks like now
But we were cutting through the weeds there and I and I mingled up with these other kids
And all of a sudden they started saying what's in the lunchbox?
And I I looked at these kids like you like I had I was with some kids and I turned into some other kids
And one thing led to another they asked me what was in the lunchbox and one thing let and and something happened
The one went to pull the lunchbox
And when he went to pull the lunchbox, I didn't know what the fuck to do and all of a sudden they started swinging that immediately
So random like group of other six year olds like they were probably eight nine whatever the fuck they were
And there was three of them the next thing you know, you know, I got punched in the fucking head
I threw a couple punches. I threw a kick and they took the lunchbox from me
And they opened it and that's when the kid hit me in the head with the fucking thermos
The thermos had glass and I'll never forget when the thermos hit my head. I had the glass breaking Jesus Christ
And I remember getting up and like swinging two or three times like now I connected with one of the kids
And then something happened dog. I found the blood
And I just started yelling like I had never experienced that before in my life
I just thought that was the worst day of my life for years
For years because I never knew that day would ever come nobody told me that you're gonna get in there with the lunchbox
Or blood was gonna gush out of your fucking head
So I ran the fuck homely and I had to go to the hospital and wait
I don't know if I forget the towels
You know what my neck looked like how much blood I'm just on my neck that I ripped my t-shirt off
And when my mother came they stitched me up my mother fainted
During when they were stitching me up. I cried like a pussy in those days
They put a sheet over your head like a kkk with a hole in it and they stuck a needle nova cane into the fuck
Oh my god, my eyeballs
They're just numb your entire head. Oh my god, lia was horrendous and they'd stitch you up like a fucking sweater
And you just sit there and fucking yell. Oh god, it's horrible
My mom was yelling I was yelling and my mom want to know what the fuck I was doing at the park
And she was interrogating me while it was stitching me up
And then the car on the way home and the cab she fucking gave me a fucking ear beating
About you got to stick up for yourself and what happened and blah blah blah
But it had to be maybe two weeks later. Once my stitches were taken I joined karate
And that was it. Fuck that. I was never going to get in that position again. Fuck you. That was horrible dog
That was a day from fucking hell because I experienced everything
Anxiety I fainted I got hit in the head
Everything I hit the fucking trifecta bad luck dog
Six years old seven years old. Jesus christ. Well, you got a cold reality at a dose man
But before that I almost drowned at central
At fucking Coney Island, of course you did. Well, I almost seen the piece of shit saved me. That's what saved me
I saw a little piece of shit in the ocean
And then like you know, you're gonna be okay. Just a little piece of shit. You're like, I want to be okay
Well, woke me to fuck up. You know, you're at the beach. You think everything's beautiful
And all of a sudden you're in the ocean and a little piece of shit floats by you
Oh my god, Lee
So
What yeah, so he kept saying like you were advocating assaulting kids and stuff
You know what at the end of the day? Fuck him man. There's people that have their thoughts and then
They raise these kids and then they blame everything on society. How kid it's cold world out there, man
I was bullied. I I wish someone had talked to me into fighting some people
I wish and it's not even about the fighting
It's the confronting to make them
To make them stop bullying you and what the consequences are then and how you adjusted that that's a big step for a child
And it goes at you the rest of your life
You know I'm saying like it stays here and eventually and you stick up for yourself
We've had discussions, you know and you've said different things and I appreciate it's getting hard. It was hard for me
No, and it's very good. You have to fight for what's yours. You have to say something for what's yours
If you're mistreated you have to raise your hand and I feel like I'm being mistreated
Because if you don't stop it then it fucking never ends man, you know, and then it keeps going and you carry it into other situations
where
I break your balls all the fucking
The fuck is that I break your balls, right?
There's a big difference of disrespect in here
There's some people that are your bosses and they say shit. They really oh, yeah
And here in this town all fuck they'll say anything to you these fucking savages
So no, I just listen. I don't give a fuck anymore about the I really don't I'm of an age where I don't give a fuck
But you said he he has the reputation for starting fights
Like that's what they were saying that he confronted a couple people people from Santa from Portland don't really like them
He always talks shit about some fucking he's on a.m. That makes sense. You you get it. Yeah, but who gives a fuck
It's awkward to listen to a fight. What are you gonna do? There's some people that enjoy that shit. Oh god
There's some people that like that stuff. I don't want I don't want to confront nobody on this podcast
I don't want nobody to confront me. I want to confront me confront me later on
Yeah, this is a forum for fucking us talking and
Telling our stories and whatever eating some fucking edibles and whatever. I don't want to fight nobody on a fucking podcast on a radio
Should that's the last thing I wanted to do. It's the worst and I didn't curse on a.m. That's all that mattered
I didn't curse I yelled back at him and I I stick with what I fucking believe
And fuck him and then I found that lady has a kid's foundation. I don't give a fuck man kids whatever you have to uh
Teach I don't want my child getting bullied. No, I want my child to be
Aware of her surroundings. I want her to know what she's able and not able to do and how she has to fucking behave
And you also don't want her to be a bully. No, I don't you know, there's a crap
There's a little girl that's bigger than that bullies them
And I could see how mercy walks away from our mercy's instincts avoid it. Just avoid it
There's a way to avoid people
You know, and it's like I said there's a gift
That I learned when I was a thief to disappear how to hide and how to be in the room but not be in the room
You learn these things, you know, thank you for calling it instincts tonight. Yes, I learned all that shit on my own
I was a predator at a young age and it carried over and now
Even before the podcast we were talking about agents and how
How well I was doing 10 years ago theatrically because I was more in control
I
Took chances. I got tapes to people
I knew what film I don't I just don't have the time anymore. I'm too spread out too thin
Right if I had the time I know there's not much going on, but what would be going on? I'd be going in on
Because I know how to get my foot in the fucking door. It's a little tougher now since 9 11
You just can't walk on the studio say I want to drop an envelope off
You can't and they don't they have public addresses like they have p.o. Boxes on large amounts a lot of them
Right, but they're not really their offices there. That's the general billing offices
Their offices are in studios while they're casting the shows
So if they're casting a paramount show they're at the paramount mount if they're casting a
Fox show they're on the fox lot
Their office is where they keep whatever you don't even know what the fuck their offices are. I have to time anymore
You don't have to go there. No in the old days when I got here you want to book something
You want to see this lady? She doesn't know who you are get a headshot in the resume the tape and drop it off
And you've got to convince the fucking receptionist to give it to her
Uh, that was your that was what you had to do you have to convince the receptionist
How would you convince them by being nice and being honest and saying listen
I fucking want to be in on this movie and she doesn't want to see me. I just want to drop a tape off personally
And listen it didn't work a lot
But sometimes it did work for me. It did work a lot for me by hustling. That's hustling. That's hustling yourself
That's in the old days that there's a page show fax.com
Show fax.com used to be
A great source of breakdowns. I built the beginning of my career. I built I built
I booked cold case out of that fucking page. I booked a few films out of that page
When I first got here my first resource for acting was back page that comes out on
Or whatever not back page. That's a point on one, right? That's this like a backstage back page
Backstage was the one that came out Wednesday afternoons, but those jobs didn't pay
I knew I had to build a reel up
and then that came along show fax
and show fax
provided a service for co-stars
non-union films
and like
Categories like extras, but some of those films were leads
Oh, so they will be looking for extras and I knew they were so you're looking for mafia types. That means you're looking for leads
Even if it's a short sag film, they would pay
I'd go down there boom get 200 a day whatever at least kept real
And learn what the fuck I was doing and get paid. I knew nobody was gonna see that fucking movie
What were they like longer movies or were they like short films?
What were you shooting a lot of I shot? I have a lot of films and I am DB
But I guarantee there's 20 things I did on IMDB because I think about them like what the fuck have happened to that
Those people gave me 1500 bucks for three days would have happened to those people
And I looked to see the project and I have a web page up nothing
There was a movie I did where the whole family invested on this movie. They remortgaged their home. Oh, no
I never saw those people again this time
I wonder if they sell it overseas. I go to IMDB and the movie's there
It's amazing how many things I did that are not on IMDB
I did a trailer with michelle pfeiffer and broncin pierce broncin
I never saw that again. I did
This other stupid movie about gambling
That we shot at night that they paid me. I never maybe
2004 I never fucking saw that or heard from those people again the check cleared
And god knows what happens to those fucking things
Jesus is scary. It's really the movie that arie did
With the dude that's that movie that got a trailer that they took a yanked it did really bad arie did a movie
What's the name of the movie a new movie? Yeah, look and see arie's got two movies on IMDB
Inappropriate comedy or something like that. Remember that movie. They all dead hang out. Okay, that kid came out here with three million dollars
Okay, he fucking
Booked a bunch of people. It says keeping up with the joneses
Arie Shafir. Yeah, no, what's the movie that I don't know what the fuck yeah keeping up with the joneses
Who else is in the movie click on it?
Oh
Gal Gadot isle fisher don ham sack alphanakis. No, that's not the one he did one before that
Yes, who's in that?
Okay, that's what the fuck. I'm saying Lee. Then I tell you there was an appropriate comedy. I thought you were talking about the other one
Jesus christ on a crutch
The appropriate comedy was lindsay lohan. Well, I was never michelle rodriguez
Aaron brody lindsay lohan
arie
Dante
And the guy directed it was vince offer. Okay. Well that movie the guy had loop
Okay, I came out here and started giving that fucking loot like it was nothing 30 g's 50 g's 60 g's
They sucked them dry
He had to get more loot to invest in the movie
And the movie came out and bombed like it was just a disaster a movie. Maybe he sold it overseas or whatever
I'm not criticizing the film. I'm just telling you the results of the film
At least there's movies that you do like that that you don't know that they pay you
I did a mob movie for like 11 days that paid me and
I never heard of sale those people ever again. I did raging bull
With remember that you were hanging out with me. Yeah, and he never came out never came out and everybody in it
They keep re-releasing the fucking date
You have no idea guys. That's why when you shoot something
I used to worry and want to get a reel and I just let it go
I shot it who the fuck knows when it's gonna come on how when who it doesn't matter
