Went to the gym while I'm sitting there and I didn't want to go to jiu-jitsu. I didn't have a lot of time
I said, you know what I'm gonna do? You don't know how to do jiu-jitsu, too?

The way is oh shit
I always wonder why I never rapped over this no one song has never been touched think one person finally fucking did it years later
I'm trying to think that is one of my all-time favorite when I was fucking whatever
I don't know how old I went and got this album covered just because of the black chick in the middle because you open it up
And she had like a hose around her and that fireman hat, but she was naked dock in the motherfucking house
Motherfucking house everybody with the new hairdo
That's good. You did it fucking you do you keep like this for a while

There's no strength. Let me get both sides of my family. No, there's nothing. We'll get your little Elvis fucking deputy
Do you be back? I mean listen all you need is three heads you could do a ton of shit with three heads
But what's the point cuz I like I said there was this dude
I used to work with who kept it, but it was like it was like less than ball hair
I could whip a work of fucking art with three heads
You don't need to be no goddamn stylist
What's up with you doctor? No doc when we walked in here you and we were fucking talking about shootouts and
So you at the store that night when I left that night, I wasn't there you weren't there
I had I was like I had it
I would took off that day and like I was telling him I was
Down at an open mic doing like working out some jokes down there and talking to one of the young guys down there
And he was trying this was like around 12 o'clock midnight
And he was trying to ask me to come down there cuz he was going to the Rose battle
And I was like, you know the rose battle upstairs in the belly
He had Tuesday night ratio man, then uh, I was like, all right, man. I'm I'm a chill man when I'm off
I'm not I don't want to go down there
so we kicked it down there for a little while longer and then
He left and then I left around 12 30 whatever then he get down there around 12 45 and that's when the shooting took play
And I left that 10 to 12. Yeah, we were there like an hour before we left the time 12
All right, you just yeah just left well
We just just didn't leave I'm not gonna lie to nobody we left an hour before we didn't feel nothing
I didn't feel no tension. I can't tell you that
Yeah, I was in shock the next day, you know
You're always in shock where you were somewhere where somebody got shot a thousand possibilities right run through your fucking head
You know it's scary. It's like we were just there like if we if you had wanted to get a water
Or if I wanted to go to the bathroom in theory like just something could change. That's it's scary to think about
I mean, it's just
Like you just you don't expect that man in the in a public place everybody's sitting right there
Right where who like and he just ran up right in the middle of everybody. That's what's the list. It was like
Like bizarre he is
It's not a drive by it's him running in the middle of a packed
bar and
Just shooting one person in the front in the front in front of 20 30 witnesses
20 30 and nobody seems fucking nothing. It's amazing. They saw but it you know, it was nobody seen him
Like come in I mean like I guess at the time when he ran in they might have saw him
But they you know, you know how the story is stuff just be happening. Nobody really be you know
They out there got the music playing people drink and it's fucking amazing. Yeah
It's a great when you want CSI and they show up. There's always one guy that's seen the perpetrator and right
I have falls. This is the real fucking world that guy walked up dressed up like fucking
You know a crypt or whatever the fuck he was and just shot that motherfucker and walked out and nobody's seen a fucking thing
No, that's a professional street here. Yeah that you don't need to go to our army to do know how to do
That's just common sense it right you hit them right in front anybody. This is you don't contact somebody. I'm fucking
On Twitter and time to put poison in your husband's soup
You just fucking hit this me you just do it and that was people at the next day like two people like dog
It was a hit. Yeah, cuz he had cuz he had I mean he had a bandana around his mouth
He had a hoodie on he was trying not to be seen
He all he wanted was to see who he wanted and that was it and he ran down the street in the middle by the House of Blues
Yeah, he parked across the street on the side of the building
So nobody you know the House of Blues is closed and you know, it's got that shaded in dark area over there
Well, he parked the car and they say was a black sedan. So, you know, anybody from the hotel
You know the hotel next door to it
You know they weren't probably paying no attention to anybody running across people running across all the time, you know
So there is no cameras. It's just like that and that's why they the police was like anybody got anything. Let us know
It's like they don't that dude executed that perfect whoever he was
No, that's the way to shoot somebody in front of 30 fucking people. Yeah, listen when you shoot a gun
You got to see what happens to people
You really have to see what I would now I would be in shock
I don't think I would be a gun when you shoot
If you hear a gunshot first of all in today's society because of all the shootings your mind's gonna tell you right away
You're dead. Yeah, dopamine whatever that drug comes out DMT when
And rabbits that shit shoot now because already you're told that it's a fucking shooter with a machine
Place so I can't imagine I can't imagine I felt bad, you know, and I mean he rattled off seven of them
So and it's the fucking comedy store, which it's not like a a club where shootings go down all the right
And it's like, I don't know
Yes, the most hangout coolest. That's what that's what the killer part about it's the coolest
Spot to hang out and you're talking years of people
Years and years is a tradition. So, you know, everybody's back to normal though
You know how the story is it's always welcoming and they they they made the adjustments and everything, you know
Our home is is what it is right now
But it was like it was scary though for those first two three days for people and you know first thing
I told people I was like hey don't go on Twitter don't go on Facebook
No jokes about this guy because y'all don't know who this guy is like y'all say the wrong thing and y'all and his boys
Think y'all think it's funny. They'll come after y'all, you know, I said just lay low
Don't don't play with this this dude is he was serious. So the guy was from New York out here visiting
That's what they say. Yeah, they say he was visiting
They say he was staying at the Honda the hotel right next door to the club
So that's all they have that he was visiting from New York and he was staying in the hotel. That's it
You always wonder when somebody when there's a professional hit or a hit what that person had done
Like, you know, yeah, it's it's really like a backtrack type of deal
Right, and it's always office because if if he's from New York and they came out here and hit him
The guy he fucked with had long fucking arms. Yeah, yeah, you know, obviously he knew people out here
Which is even stronger than the fucking thing, right and just different world Lisa. Yeah, like coming from where I grew up
Like you just think you grew up thinking the cops will catch everybody and then I just you never hear this
Like you never heard of anything ever after that night. Like there was no story again. I was like, how does
Only on CSI
From the opposite of how they get find the hair and they immediately get witnesses to come in but
Yeah, they remember we he from
You from a place where if a crime take place is so infrequent that they can figure things out
Where to as where we're from crime is so much
That is hard for them to keep up with them. Well, I know literally not a hundred percent could get solved
But a shooting at the comedy store on Sunset Boulevard
You think that would be like pretty high up on the priority not a hit bro. I feel you to hit him, right?
You know, let's say I come to your house, Lee
Let's say you burn somebody for half a million dollars in drug money
Okay, and they tell me you're hiding out in our fucking apartment building in Sherman Oaks in
Los Angeles, that's the hardest hit of my life
No, because I got I got a guarantee that there's cameras at the door
There's cameras on the way up the stairs if I hit you on the street. There's probably cameras. This is the street
Yeah, I hit you on fucking sunset in the middle of traffic people drinking. That's a real fucking
school hit remember the last time I was here and we was talking about the best friend gang in Detroit, right on gang land
If you go back and watch the on YouTube watch type in best friends from Detroit look at
David they voted them as the most notorious gang on
On the whole gang land series and it was because that was they think their thing was to hit you in a daytime
So they would hit you when you were they would they would they would follow you
Sometimes they would wait two three years and then they would hit you
So like you'll be eating lunch at the mall or whatever and they'll just come back bang bang
And they're gone like that's
People be terrified when you when you do a shooting in an open like that people were so terrified people just duck for cover
They don't look they don't look they don't pay no attention
Yeah, you don't remember faces you would think they would have cameras on every street lamp now
They've especially on sunset, you know how much of a budget do they have for fucking cameras?
You watch them on TV the cameras are pointed in one direction. It's horrible visibility on the cameras
They're just generalities they show all these fucking people getting hit and runs the hit and runs are huge
Let me put it to you too like this the car that they use could have been a stolen car one
It's two. He was in a ski mask
Hoodie, what's the identifier?
three if
if
If if if you do a hit like that
You're gonna do it in time it at as per as perfect as possible
Yeah, because if he done it any earlier sunset, he might not have been on the way the street, right?
So he did he planned the whole thing one o'clock in the morning my man almost one o'clock in the morning
Harley too many people out on a Tuesday perfect
There's you can't get it no better. There's that's the perfect escape and he parked on a downslope
So the police station is over here on on on on the down on a down end coming up
He's going down
You know saying and the only cops that could have gotten was the ones that they say that was like two minutes away at the light
And they they didn't even they didn't get them
So it's it's too chaotic of a situation for them and for them to even the only way
They would have been able to get them is if they would have got that license plate and that guy
Would have got caught a mile away, but at that point by the time they realized that he's six miles out
Or might even switch cars by now and especially if he from another set state city go
You go get
That's scared. That's what we live in
Okay, am I watching too good like am I watching too much TV and movies or is it possible that if it was a hit
The guy from New York could have had intel be like he's gonna be at the store park here
There's no cameras here. Like do that stuff exist or is that all yeah, like you got to understand that
That's why they call it case in the joint anytime you see a person rob a house or they call a case in case of means
Set up the scenario make sure everything is set up perfectly. Okay. He's here. All right. What can we do?
How do we get all right put the car over here soon as he come out hit them bang
I'm gone and by the time police get here. We'll be out everything about that hit. Yeah, he's not a genius
It's very common. Yeah, it was very common sense the guy could be a fucking total moron
Oh, but it's very common sense. Don't let them see you run across the street
You got a gun nobody's gonna chase you park down the darkest on the darkest part on Sunset part on Sunset
Parking down where you have access to a right turn and a left turn on to a Siena and you're gone
Go you're on your way to the fucking airport you park that car take a cab to fucking the park rental
I mean, it's amazing the thousand options, but there's a lot of moving pieces, right?
That's you follow me. That's why I don't if you're gonna ice like for years
I want an ice one
When I was growing up and then when I went to Colorado
I met my buddy and he taught me all this weaponry and all this type of shit
And there was one way I was gonna hit one and it wasn't gonna work
It was gonna be when he was coming home at night, but he didn't drink
For me to hit one and get away with it in those days
The best hit would have been at six o'clock when he was leaving the flower shop and walking into that bar across the street
Nobody saw it the only problem
I would have had is to pray to God that nobody else got a piece. There's no fucking heroes
All right, that's the only thing you got to look for because once you turn the run
They could be a hero there and just start shooting they that goes your party, but trust me
9 out of 10 you're in shock when you hear a bullet
When I saw one shoot Niko when I was a kid I wasn't in shock because it was a direct shoot and I was watching
I was my stepdad but years later
I went to cop one time and I heard bullets go off and I gotta tell you man
I didn't even see what direction they were coming from which sometimes makes it worse you shit your pants
Yeah, when you have your back turn and you're doing a blast and all sudden bullets go off
Yeah, you shit your fucking pants and you're sure it's a bullet like if there's no chance
It's like a backfiring car or something. You know
When you hear one bullet go off and people start yelling. Yeah, I mean I was maybe 22
21 20 when that shit happened in Spanish Harlem, and I shit I went home. I was fucking numb
I'm not gonna lie to nobody. I had a repriate like I had a like actually that's why I always told people like life change
In the movies people just pull out a gun and drop to one knee and shoot
That that that does not fucking happen. I never I don't care how do you have to be experienced in that type of action?
It's like when we do jujitsu right and you you breathe and you're moving through me and I can't or I do it to you
You know, there's a part where you know saying you you you what what's my fucking point here?
You get used to it. It's like a memory at a certain point. Yeah, when I was on the street
I remember one time when I was been shot at several times. I never got shot, but what time?
what time I'm on the corner and
One of the guys in my gang he goes. Hey, man
He goes I got into it with such a surge and I shot up his truck
And I was like what you should have his truck who does that like you didn't shoot the dude
He's like nah, he's like so big be on the lookout. So I was like man, whatever we was like man, whatever dog
So we on the corner slaying dope laughing talking now nighttime comes
We still out here making money or whatever and then I'm talking to him
And he's on the left side of me and I'm facing the face-to-face and we I'm telling something about blah
And he just looking and all of a sudden he just takes off running
Doesn't tell me
Right, so I go I go what I said, man, why and I turn to my boys that was what what is he doing?
Why why don't you take off running like that?
And then I look up and I see the guy coming the guy's coming and
What they had lights off and it didn't dawn and then even dawn on me because I knew whose trucks they were right and it
Because the guy's still driving that same truck and he comes up and he pulls up and I go man
I said I said why they got the head lights off. That's them coming up
And I was like, I don't know and then by the time we fucking realized that they was like right with this camera
Your camera stand is and I go oh shit
I see each other then before we know it is big the window come out to rifles come out
So like so like dude, I'm telling you like all I see was flashes and I kind of like matrix
I need a matrix. I just like I ain't even care. Well, I could have hit my head on a fire hiding anything
I just jumped back. I just died back
And then I rolled and then you could hear the bullets hit the ground and I jumped up in Iran and we and there was you know
how like
The liquor stores had those big steel doors that like they open up like this
So when I ran and I hit a bullet hit the wall and then I jumped behind the steel door and it was
But I don't think they were starting to shoot his dog
But then they might have they just was made to be pouring, you know, I was a little dude, you know
I'm with five three
It's fucking scary just to shoot the gun aiming is a complete different fucking story. Yeah
When I first shot machine gun the first time
Lee I shit my pants and I was the shooter
Yeah, I was just shooting at a fucking target
Yeah, the power and the euphoria you get when and then you have to start thinking like I don't know what he told me
How many bullets come out of there per minute? Like what and I had the little one when I got arrested, right?
The one for the kidnapping was a baby one like a garbage one like I had shut like an AK one time
You have no idea the unique sound that makes
The unique and this guy had every weapon up there in Colorado. We would just shoot on that as long as I paid for the bullets
We would just shoot our asses. You know what they remind me of they remind me of like
Yeah, they say they kind of sound like a to me like an automatic gauge
It's automatic just
When you up close on it's so loud like cuz the gauge is like boom boom, but this is like a
So that's why I kind of felt like because I'm sure I'm on a small in but they hit none of the other guys either and like
They're driving most people don't know, you know, most guys don't know really how to really hold the holder
No, so right for so they just out you I mean he didn't really have time to really you know
Soon as the soon as the window drop and he just pointed it out
And then he you can see you could see was jumping because of the he didn't have no real like stability to hold it
You know, and it was that's shit. I don't know
I can really tell you
When they shoot outs and they hit these little kids by mistake, they don't know what they're doing Lee
They just shoot the gun. They're just yahoos. They got their hands on a fucking gun. They're not trained
They know nothing. They know how to fucking spray. You know what those are the scariest people
See those are the people you want don't want guns in their hand
Yeah, that those are the people that scared me the most that crazy guy that goes into a movie theater with a gun
That's gonna happen mental illness is gonna happen
Right, it's the people who are just fucking whacked out like me when I was 22
If I had a gun on when I was 20 if I had a gun, I didn't know what I was doing
I would just pulled it out
Well, like whatever I've seen in a Rambo movie and fucking shoot it like a jerk off and that's what the problem is
That's when the problems
Occur, you know, I have a hit on Lee. I don't like Lee so I'm gonna go shoot him in a fucking mall
I can't shoot so all of a sudden you're gonna run and I'm gonna go like this
And I'm gonna move my hand horizontally. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I'm not military terrain
I'm not police train. All I know is what I've seen in the fucking Clint Eastwood movies
That's when innocent people get fucking shot. Those are the scariest people to me
That's the people we gotta keep the glutes out of their hands. So people have to have no idea. I love shooting
I love all that stuff. You ever see me with a gun in my hand Lee not recently because I understand
Understand what it does to you. I understand how it changed me
Oh, yeah, I miss you like it changed me. That's how weak. I am as a human being
It's fucking you have the power to kill some but like thank God. They didn't have good aim
Like have you ever thought like what if they had just gone like one target practice?
No, I probably would have been like so never been like so, you know, what's funny is
One of the guys in my game one time he got mad at me. He's like he said doc. I said man
I don't understand something
He said every time you leave
Somebody either you just leave or
You just before you get here somebody get shot
He said it never happens when you hear and he said and then when you do get shot at you
Don't they don't even come close to really hitting you. You don't even get hit
Say everybody else get it, but you get it. It's like he's like man. I don't he's I don't get that. Why is that man?
I don't care. I'm like you shouldn't either. He said it like he was like mad about like I didn't get shot
No, it's like that's good. You think I never I'm like that's good. I'm glad I never like I won't be like
bags on a no got dudes all in a wheelchair to me. I mean in my homies, but you know, it's just like
The the the luck or I say it was God, you know watching on me. I was just a teenager man
You know I'm saying you don't know what can happen. That's why you see on the whole
Young black
They don't even know what they're involved in bro. They don't they don't have a lot of options
When you don't have a lot of options and
You see people driving the car and you don't even have a fucking bike
Right that fucks with your psyche and makes you do shit that you would normally do
Yeah, there's a lot of people play football and get out of the fucking ghetto
And they're very lucky. They have a hard house
They have one of those black fucking militant fucking parents that goes out there with a slipper and shit
Beat you. You know those kids are fortunate to make it that fortunate to make it
Past the other stuff because the other kids don't you know, my mother is just funny. You just said this
I was just talking to my mother yesterday about
About me because she was it was something about she said she don't like when I talk about me being in the game
She's like that's your past and you know, that was a long time ago and I was like now
I said what I do is for that, you know, and I was you know trying to explain it to her and and and then she said
She said yeah, but
Unlike them you had a way out you had somebody to help you out
And I was like true and I say and that's what I'm doing. You know, I was like, I'm being what you are
but I'm trying to do it on a bigger scale, you know, because
because
Kids in the hood, they don't
And we ain't talking about just black. You're talking about latino hoods and you even talking about trailer tracks
White hoods. Yeah, white hoods are no fucking different anywhere. Yeah, they're so mad. They're no different
But yeah, like so when I look like I'm like, why not be a comedian?
And and and and blow up it really become the dude
To make that change, you know, like I feel because I I know how to do it
I know exactly how my mother did it for me and all it is is I was reading the book by uh
By by Princeton University about Albert Einstein called unquotable Einstein and Einstein said this brilliant quote in there
He said something like
American people
He said they they might not be as intelligent as the Germans. He said but what they have is
An energy and enthusiasm and I go shit
And he said that's why they're able to create and do make better things and I said, holy shit. That's the game you put
The the the poverty places is just missing an energy and enthusiasm and what what what what what what causes that love
And and I said dog if if dudes really put in a love in the hood like really put it in
And and and in the impoverished places with white people like like not just we ain't talking about just people that come from there
We're talking about everybody from Microsoft to facebook like we all get together like and and create like a mastermind group
Right and we set up systems and different opportunities and different job courts and all kind of stuff
And we could we may though we can change the energy of the America
World I mean period like like every everybody ain't going to see because it's always somebody dumb out there
It's always somebody who's you know, I'm saying somebody always whose kid is not gonna make it. But why not?
us
Be the vehicle for the kids who don't have that you know I'm saying because
People just turn it back and that's why we got so many drug dealers and people lock up now. Love is great. Yeah
Love is a great thing to give somebody when they're confused. It saved me
The love my friends gave me saved me
But it took a long time for the love to sink in
That's what I know. Okay. The love takes a long time for it to sink in
You know all that love I got from my friends and stuff got heightened
When I started dating terry
Because terry was trying to give me love
And I still wasn't having it
When you have anger, you know, when you
I was watching training day. Why aren't we watching training? I was watching training day was on sundance
And at the end he gets beaten down alonzo gets beaten down by these bloods, you know, right?
And these bloods are supposed to play these angered bloods, you know, they're good-looking black dudes or the actors
Right, but I was thinking about what these bloods know. Why do you become a blood?
because in your mind
You think that all the opportunities are shut into you
The world dealt you a shitty hand the cards and guess what?
You could never change it. Even if you want a motherfucking wanted to
That's that's how your mind reacts. That's it. It's shut down. Your mind has made a decision
Because my mind made a fucking decision when I was 19. Well, what about in like in uh american gangsta and then in uh
What sons they hit the head like the head of the whatever the gang like gives ice cream to the kids
Like from the time their kids are getting stuff. So they like them. They're nice to them. They get food
Like how can you fix it if there's people?
That's not hope that's just a band-aid
On the thing because at the end of it all you have to ask
When you go home you go
mommy
Man mr. James is a very nice man
And your mom
If she's black and beautiful like your mom she'll say
Doc walk and take a shower eat your ice cream
She ain't gonna explain the evil of mr. James
Because you wouldn't understand that at that age
You wouldn't understand that he'd sell drugs somebody lost their life for that fucking ice cream
Yeah, it's it's like uh like
Like what al chopo said and then when he when he uh tweeted when he got out
He i'm paraphrasing but he basically said to the president he said you do your government shit
And you don't do nothing for the people he said but i'm out here and i'm helping them
I'm get putting food in a i'm putting food in their cabinets. I'm i'm i'm giving them shelter
I'm giving them money. You ain't doing shit. So that's what the problem is. They don't have a drug problem
because
Mexico's big drug problem a because
Everybody just want to sell drugs and be drug dealers. Are you kidding me?
I know nothing's hope nobody. Yeah, they feel hopeless. Look at your mother-in-law. Yeah, it's your mother-in-law
Once you feel but that's a hard life, but that's a hard life, you know
Yeah, I was and she could have fucking sold out at any time
Why do you think they recruit the younger ones because the older ones won't do it
See the older ones most of the older ones try to fight up against it
They either get killed or whatever
So that's why they go to the young because the young ones are the most hopeless ones and those are the ones to easily influence
from this lead with cars and money and clothes and women you it's easy to or you know
Whatever vice versa. Well, that's what we were saying. We were saying like when you see that at that age
You're like, I want to be like him. Yeah, you want to see do what does he do to drive nice cars?
Yeah, and then even even if they don't want to be like that like let's say there's that guy giving out ice cream
What is what are we going to do? Like what is the city going to do? Like oh the school's nicer, but you hate school
So like I like how that how are we going to entice them to change because what you do is you set up
For here's a perfect example to park, right? Okay to park
He was doing all this behind doors
Stuff that people didn't know and one of the greatest things that I heard that he was doing which is fantastic was
He started doing concerts and he did a concert for school in Compton
And he told them he went to the school and he said listen
Anybody who strived and pushed and get above see above see average report card
He said or see or better report card. He said a free con y'all get to come to my concert for free
So kids was like what see so imagine this
Me being a comedian
right
I get it I get involved with more bigger comedians
And we do shows and different things like maybe once a year or whatever
And we set up
It's so much so we could do set up programs like that then I get with the different rappers
We we start telling them a would you let this amount of kids come to your concert for free if they do this for school?
Like you get a collective people doing it all together. So now all the kids are like, oh man
You got to drive to do things now
You take that and then you take some of then you take the the big corporations like
Microsoft and facebook and everybody who got all of this all the different money from warbuffet
All these americans with all these billions and millions of dollars you take them and you set up programs that that helps the kids
Get better shelter get better housing get better just better job better everything
Everything adds up. It's so much we could do well
How was the school where you were from because like I talked to paula
She went to a charter school for like smarter kids
And she was saying like the teachers never showed up
They gave her a's because she showed up and was nice like part of she said she skipped like half of her senior
Like she could she would skip all the time and they just don't care down there because they have a lot more to do like
We need like those events are great, but we need money for like the schools like to keep the kids
That's what but that's what i'm saying. Okay, like
You have to remember this is the collective thing
my my thing is is
There is no hundred percent formula right away
All the state takes is for one thing to start working and then the rest of snowball
See, that's what the problem is. Nobody's ever really put put forth a true system of uh, you know why because it takes effort
Yeah, but I'm
I'm willing to do it. Nobody pays for that effort. So people tap out after two weeks. It's like what we deal with here
People are gonna do something after two weeks. They fucking fizzle in hollywood. We're gonna write a script and also they're selling real estate
You know the thing that makes me laugh the hardest is that thing a couple years ago just fizzle that
The corporations everybody was building tents
Remember operation fucko. Oh, um, yeah, all the hippies got downtown and they built shelters
Oh, you know, you mean the wall street one. Yeah, when they were gonna get together and shut down the corporations
They tapped out once they looked at their iphone right because you can't have an iphone and fight corporations
Right, right, right, right, you know and it's so weak because even in the 60s those fucking acid heads
They got beat up look at all the black people that march and got beat up people don't do that no more
You know it happened in jack and whatever Missouri right people stood up and that won't war went on for a while
Right people really don't believe you know what I read you know what it is. It's like
They ain't doing shit. No, they just marching everybody's just marching look at a march for this march for this
What is y'all doing? It's for the facebook selfies
We were at the march
It's a joke, but that's honest
Like after they do they march they back home and they just doing what they do and not even they not the next day continue
It has to be continuous here. Let me put to you like you're right when I was in like my my little cousins
and my
I call him my little brother back in Detroit
when
When I met him through them
I took them in right because what they from
What they was at I was like, oh, they ain't nothing but they're where I grew up and my mother pulled me out of
It's all gang or crack all their little friends to the day a lot of them is dead a lot of them locked up
And but those particular kids I say, all right
This is what I'm gonna do
I took it upon myself. I said y'all because my mother did this. This is how she got me. I said if y'all try
Anything y'all want to do we let's do it and then so they would call me. Hey, we want to go bowling
Let's go bowling. Hey, I want to go to the pet store man
We used to get on our bike and ride man
This pet shop is like 20 miles away man super far
Man, even I was like god damn all this boy goddamn snake. Okay
We call it and that but which we do I used to just do whatever it took
To to to give them some kind of spark to be to look at like I can do now
I said, yeah, you can do this
If you don't if you don't look at this all you got to do is do this and stay what you want to do
This is what you want to do. Hey, let's do it
So whatever they anything that they really wanted to do that was positive as long as it was positive
I just pushed them towards it whether they became it or not didn't matter but now
Both of them got kids
One of them don't he's he owns his own truck business. He's got six trucks now
You know I'm saying he's making it happen. I when I was at the
Getting my haircut yesterday. There was this father getting his haircut and he had two little like Filipino kids or
And he was quizzing them. He was doing spelling bees with hard words
Right like association and he was giving them quizzes
And I was just saying they're thinking like those kids are gonna go
So far like it's amazing how how much parenting matters and that's that's probably another thing like yeah, even if we get them to school
Not not every parent there is going to be like your mom sometimes
But you have to remember brah if the drug dealer can influence them soaking you
You understand what I'm saying? It's it's the same love but but you're taking it to a positive direction
So if you really there for them and you really to provide like you ain't gotta sometimes just remember this all of them
Aren't mentally broke down to the point where they need you to give them something physical
Some of them just need that that that that supported that word or that love and you right there to tell them
And then they remember and they feel it and then if you stay put and you and you promise things like like like I said if
Like say I go to a school, right? I become famous. I go to a school and I just say what are y'all missing in this school
What do y'all what do y'all need right now if I could fix something right now?
What do y'all need and then they tell me well
We need in our school. It would be cool if we had the kids
I'm talking about the straight up kids one of them
What would be good for y'all school and then they say well, it would be nice if all of us could have a center where we could
Have computers and this and that and I'll say all right. I say so tell me this if I do this for you guys
Will y'all keep trying
See it's it's it's just and not even just in school. You can go to the hood
What are you guys doing? What could we do here?
And you work on that one thing
See not a bunch just one thing first you start with one thing and you do that
You go out and you do it. They're gonna look at you and go go
This dude trying
he trying
I'm gonna try to I promise you because that's what my mother did for me. My mother said
Yeah
When I when I got locked up in juvenile and I dropped out in 11th grade
I was like fucking the streets was me. Yeah. No. Yeah one point you go. You commit. Yeah
That's what I was telling me the other day
To do it and you don't go home and go well if I robbed that in the corner. What's gonna happen to me? Well, I go to Jerry
No, I'm just gonna fucking rob and make a move
There's no fault. There's no safety net
There's nothing
There's nothing
You know, when I robbed that jewelry store at 21, I got away with it. That was the worst thing that could have happened to me
There's so many things that the worst thing that could have happened to me at that age
Because I was invincible. But when I I went to prison at 27 or 26 or 25 I was
I knew when I was going to prison. I was paying for all those dumb sins. I didn't get caught for there
You know, you're talking something that we all know. I mean, you're not wrong
But doing it is the other side of that
Doing it is the other side of that and for some people they look at it and it seems
Like a fucking eternity. That's why most people don't get it together till they're 30
Because they're like every time they go to try something
I say to you, how long does it take to be a good comic doc 10 years? Fuck that
How long does it take to be a welder four years? Fuck that. How long does it take to be a good cook four years?
How much are you going to pay me for those four years eight dollars an hour? Fuck that. I rather slain drugs
Eight dollars an hour was 320 a week after taxes is 243
If you claim two or whatever the fuck you claim 243 times eight is what 900 a month
What do you do with 900 a month as a fucking american? I'm watching this yesterday how they're they're trying to kick up
Minimum wage to 15. They understand me the dog. I tried to go straight for years
But at the end of the week with no education
With a felony on your record, you know, which I lived like without I never claimed the fucking felony
You come up to me with that felony shit when I put it
I looked you in the face and go, do you have any idea how many hosay dears is all that?
Get back on that fucking computer hosay dears is john smith in fucking america
You're gonna come to me with a war. I got the wrong joey dears and they come back a monthly. It's you
It's you
You're gonna find me now. Who's the best employee you got you are get the fuck rip it up, will you?
But now, you know, it's so now I can't imagine a person trying to go straight
Right because now they do a background check everybody. Yeah, but my thing is is like
He's no bomb. We're gonna take that away check the box or whatever. Here's the thing though
Like like let's just say with that existing. All right
uh
Few years after that I got into arrested for another for a shooting idea, right?
and um
I had a so with the intent to commit murder felony firearm, you know
And
It was hard man getting a job
But here's what it is where I retract back to the story where I was telling y'all a few seconds ago
it all it all would help me keep moving forward was
What my mother did for me when I was in when I dropped out to 11th grade when I got out of juvenile
She found out I was selling crack again
And she goes look
I see you back on the streets again. I heard
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna move you to your aunt's house. And I was like fuck that
It's like, why would I go there? And now she was like you're gonna go back to school. I was like, how am I gonna go back to school?
I failed the 11th grade year. I ain't been to school all year
He came up said like I'm this is impossible. She said, uh, it's possible. She said all things is possible. She said
If you just try
All I'm asking you is to try
And she said I would do whatever you you she said everything you asked for I'll try my best to get everything you want
She said I'll try she said I'm not she said I'm not all I'm asking you just try one time
She said you go back to uh summer school
You go and get a one take a one to eight for the next semester. You'll graduate on time
dude
100% not only did I graduate on time. I got on the gray
I got on the honor roll the last couple three poor cars. It was like what?
Like that big with what happened there was like
Damn if I just and anytime I needed something it got to a point where I was like, I didn't want to ask her for nothing no more
It was like
Can I get these shoes? Okay, boom. I got the shoes and I was like
So you're doing this because I'm trying she's like yeah, she's like it's it's beautiful to try ain't it?
Then when I made it I graduated man. You should see like the gang
I drove over there in the in with my prom the girl. I went to the prom and I try and they was like lucky doing it
Like everybody then when I graduated it was like what it was like
It was an amazing experience. So then like right after that. I got into some trouble again little shoot whatever and uh
Did you take prom pictures with your gang?
No, I I never took any you know, it's funny. They I got a lot of them on my facebook
and
They put up pictures. I'm not in none of the pictures. I've never took no pictures with them
And I look and I'm just like wow this must just be
My pure coincidence because it's even in the years back when I was there and I'm like wow
I was there. I never took a picture with all these guys like and it's
I don't know if that's good or bad, but I feel like that's you know
I still love them though. It don't matter pictures don't matter, but it's
It's amazing to make it pass that point. You know what I'm saying? So when when when I messed up again
And I I got through the through the system or whatever and I had I just used the same
The same energy. I said, you know what?
And my mother told me the same thing. She said, yeah, yeah, you got a record. She said but you can
She says it's gonna be hard. She said but you can she said all you got to do is try remember just try and I said
Fuck
So dawg, I was working
Minimum wage temporary jobs because temp, you know temps the only real places that really would hire people with full felons
They hired some people people people felon. He's always told me now, man. You just get out there and you work
Like temps will will hire you you there are a lot of temporary
There are some temporary places that won't but there are a lot of them that will and and and there's other kind of like
McDonald's a lot of stuff you can take
Because they people don't realize it's just a building process. All it is is a small little platform that you're building
Then you add on the rest, but who's
Listen, who's willing to do it? I don't have nothing to offer fucking nobody
That's any beneficial. I know how to cut coke. I know how to
Cote on a plane
That's why you perfect, but you look at my face. It's it's dragon. It's a hundred years of fucking mileage
Remember when mickey went to rocky in the apartment and he goes I got knowledge
I have knowledge on how a person could turn their life around right
I have the answer for you and it's a fucking equation. That's very easy and you pile it on and you've done it
And you had a thousand times
Anybody could get themselves out of any hole if they wanted
Plane and simple. Yeah, I've seen it done. You know, and I've done it
I've seen it done and I've done it. I did a lot of things. I didn't want along the way to get out of that hole
Same if you're gonna put your money there and leave it there. I gotta take it. That's oh, no
If you're gonna leave your money there, we gotta take
I thought you told me a couple weeks ago. I went to that thing we got on Thursday nights
You know the trucks the trucks
And I saw some kid there, you know
If I saw a couple kids that night and then a week later I saw a different kid
Well, today I saw both those kids
And then one kid was like, hey man, what's up? He was by the library library's fucking closed
He's by the fucking library. He's homeless
I'm I'm walking to the why you know me though. I got an hour to work out. I got a fucking fly
I'm walking he goes and I'm going at this on the way back. I saw the other guy by 7 11
The guy came up to me. Hey man, Joey Diaz. What's up? And I go, hey man, how you doing?
And I was gonna get one of those protein shakes at four hours
I found him in my sweat jacket on the inside pocket and I just gave it to the kid I go
I need a protein shake, but I go listen all I got is four hours for you
But I go listen you were homeless a month ago on the same fucking corner
Right
I go you gotta do something. It's something like you're over out here begging
He goes, yeah, but you don't know what it's like. I'm from another state
Bro, you take that puddle water across the street you wipe your face
Somebody will fucking hide you gotta go to work in mexico, right?
You got to put it physically and mentally in your mind first that you're gonna go out work in fucking mexico, right? But see
He didn't the key thing was he said, yeah, but I don't know
That's where it is and you able to show him. See this is what I'm saying. That's what that's all people need
Like just that right there
If if you just show him the way a lot of people don't know how to really get down there
Because they just don't they don't know how to get down there or they don't want to go down there
They don't do ones that don't want to
Don't want to go down there because
Listen, there's a lot of people just don't want to go down there. Lee does not want to go to jiu-jitsu
But li knows that as soon as he gets there and he warms up it's hard his face gets red
He starts having a good time because you learn shit, but most importantly
You learn about the things you can do, right?
You follow me that's
In the most empowering thing a person's life is about right when you realize you could do something
You know, I'm saying when I realize I could fucking I could fucking function
Even though I was a junky thief piece of shit. I know how to do laundry
I knew how to keep a place clean on how to wash dishes
I could cook a chicken cutler if I got to not the breaded with the egg
But the plain grilled one with two pieces of wonder bread. I could sustain
You know, I lived in a fucking apartment for 68 dollars a week with more roaches lee
Lee roaches for four fucking weeks
When you put your pillow down and you hear the the roach crunch, uh, you have no fucking idea
And you know and I used to cook in there make ramen, you know boil everything
I had more roaches, but I tolerated it for 68 dollars a week
I tolerated it because I needed to get on my feet and also I needed to feed my addiction
I knew that I could afford 68 dollars. So instead of paying 168
I could snort blow and live with roaches. You follow I'm saying to you. I mean that was my but I got through it
All right, there was times when you got help from people people put you up for four weeks
How many times you help a motherfucker?
You tell lee you're my witness lee. How you doing joey dears? What's up? Lee nothing lee?
I'm moving out here with you. No, I'm coming out. You want to stay with me?
I have a one bedroom, but you could stay on my couch

They're looking at the want page
You you leave to do something with joe dears a 10 you come back at two. They're still on the fucking couch
They've eaten your food. They got their shoes on they still haven't taken a shower
You know after three weeks you got to say something as a human being

With a sheet of paper
Going to places
Now
You know what lee
You know, you're gonna let me stay here for six months. Yeah, no rent and you can eat my food. Okay
So what are you going to do as a human being? Do you go to wait to get your camera job position?
Or do you go to fucking wendy's and get a job? You go do you you follow?
People know, but they don't know everybody has time
Everybody's got time or leap told me. I don't need to pay rent. So i'm not going to take that job. I wanted
I'm not going to take that job telemarketing from 6 30 of the 12th there like the agustino now
He's making a thousand a week telemarketing 30 hours a week selling screws and pens and shit like that
I don't I don't want to do that. I went to college for six years to be a fucking camera engineer
So i'm going to hold out my friend louis
He says he's going to get me in with paramount next hiring season
So i'm going to stay on lee's couch for four months and he's just fucking food
You know, you want to help right but at times you can't help because people take advantage of your
You know people lazy. Yeah, but what I learned too is is uh
This is prison. Nobody really can't get out. Nobody can take advantage of you unless you allow. I'll let you allow
Right, so my thing is but how many people can you say lee get up off the fucking couch?
Let's go make this heat. This is what I do, you know, like one time my boy
He lived in downtown
and uh
Somebody got killed on in his building then the next week somebody got killed again
And uh
Or I might be wrong
It might be just that one time that somebody got killed and they wouldn't let him in his apartment on his floor
For like a day or two because it was like I got some kind of I don't know what why but he couldn't go up there
So I told him amen instead of standing this don't go to the shelter. I said man
Plus that building that whole area was bad. I was like just come stay with me
And I said you you know, just give me like a hundred dollars whatever
You you you work, you know to save up your money
Until you get a good darn payment
After about four or five months this nigga was taking acting classes 1500 dollars for this and now it's Stella Adler and I'm like
You better get the fuck out of here. You're like like
What are you doing? I told you save your money use something here
paying for acting classes
I'm letting you stay here
Then I booted them up. You know what I'm saying because now you're trying to take advantage
But it's like you're not taking advantage. I'm letting you I'm letting you I'll let you stay this long. This is what I'm saying
This is what I'm saying to me. It's like
Like you're gonna have a few bad apples out there
What's that episode of Sopranos when he hooks up with the fucking old lady? He used to fuck his father
Oh, yeah, okay, and he gives her money. He comes back the next day and she shows him shoes

You got 60 motherfucking bucks and you're drinking a fucking bloody married
No, no, no, I believe in helping people the knowledge. Listen
I did this step by step
Like I said, when I saw the homeless guys today, I went inside and I was lifting and when I got on the elliptical
I thought about being homeless
And I remember those two and a half months
And then I would get it together and I'd be homeless
I'm meeting uh when I go to jersey in nove- in december
I'm meeting my high school teacher who helped me out in 1985
I bumped into this motherfucking out of corner one day and he's like, you look like shit, dog
I go dog. I haven't stopped in about a year. I stopped snoring. I was drinking every night
Running a game out here. He goes, listen, you got to get your life together. You got to go to AA
He goes, if you don't want to get help, let me know
I took that number. I didn't need to get help. I just want to get out of town
So I called him up and he needed money to pay the rent and I had like
Money so I gave it to him and I stayed there for about six weeks and I was not lazy at all. I was a great
He'll tell you I used to get up in the morning
I'd go right into the city and get a bag of reefer and walk around and try to get a job
I was suspended from the bartending union. I was
Oh my god, I was a mess
I was a fucking mess in january of 85
And I move in with tea. He picks me up the new year's day and I slept till the fourth
Okay, I slept till the fourth. Wow. I would just get up to drink water
I had been going for eight or nine months. No, he said I had been going since
Since march of 84. I had been going
I'm going five or six nights a week. It's getting hard
Why do you think I tell you guys when I was 21 and 84 and 22 it didn't stop for eight or nine months
It was like five nights a week when you're homeless you go to a bar
You finagle 10 bucks. You sit there. You milk the beard till something happens. Hey, man, you know, we get a grandma blowing
Yeah, hold on one second. Let me make a call
Next thing, you know, you show up with the gram I give them two bumps out of it and then I make 10 bucks
I say, you know, you just you just you just hustle you just survive it
You're just surviving you're feeding your addiction. You're reading a little bit
You know, you got a couple pair of jeans. You got a couple pair of sneakers. You try to put it together
You use any gel. You're not wearing underwear no more. You got no t-shirts left. You got a winter jacket. It smells like cigarettes
It's a horrible fucking existence. But you don't know no other existence
You're stuck. You are fucking stuck
You have no idea what life is when you're fucking stuck and you think you have no options
You settle for fucking anything
You settle for anything. There's a lady across the street from me cute lady. You could see in her day
She was really cute. You got to see her fucking boyfriend. He looks like he got hit by a truck
He don't fucking work every day when I'm leaving that eight with mercy. He's walking to the motherfucking liquor store
When I'm coming back, he's walking in with a fucking 16 pack or whatever the fuck they are the 12 packs
Right and then when she gets home at five she comes home with a fucking 24 pack
And they drink all fucking day and I guarantee that wasn't her dream, man
I guarantee when she started this mission in life that she was hoping to get a guy like doc
Or a handsome guy like fucking the jewish mr. Freeze over here
But she ended up she ended up settling from this fucking alcoholic because that's the chance she gave herself
You know, that's the chance she gave herself. That's what she tolerates
How did the guy respond to what you said to him at seven eleven?
He just looked at me like anybody would look at when they've never heard language like that
There's because the only people will tell you that type of language and you're in that situation or your parents
Well, whatever the fuck is in charge of you that one last time
It pisses you off because they told you you had to get a job
That you couldn't sit there and watch fucking cartoons all day. Fuck you. I told you, you know
I have problems. What fucking problems the problem you have is you're fucking lazy
And that's the problem that is rampant
Right, you know, we live in a country now that listen
I gotta tell you the the thing that bothers me the most is when you
And yes part of this is because of the immigration problem
But when you tell me you don't have a job because the mexicans took your job
The america I came from is you have to go out work to mexican
If russians don't have all the limo jobs and you gotta go out drive the the fucking russians
You do what you have to do to feed your fucking family if that's you have to become the best at that field
To excel but everybody wants to put 40 effort into something and when something doesn't go their way it sucks
How many people take their real estate license?
How many people have their real estate license that you know?
Thousands how many people actually sell real estate? You know why?
Because they realize it's work. It's not just getting a four-door car
And sticking a sign you got to go to barbie shops and talk to mother fuckers
You got to make people believe they could own a house, right?
You know how hard that is you know how hard it is to come over to me right now and go joey
We get you in the house next fucking week and take me step by step
Me and my wife step by step show me what's available to me. That's easy for a guy like me that knows there's a payoff
That's easy
But for a guy that's 28 that don't know what the fuck is going on
He don't know no better
He thinks that you just get a fucking real estate license put fucking for rent signs down and that's it. No
Same thing with insurance how many people get the fucking insurance license in this country. They're all cop out licenses
I've always called those cop out licenses
Because people really think because they have an insurance license or what or i'm going to make a million now
You know what insurances sales and you got to go into fucking places
Yeah, me selling insurance policy to this fucking guy or me selling your life insurance
Yeah, I make a little money and every time you make a payment. I got a fucking payout
But I got to walk into that honda dealer
across the street
With 60 employees in service and 30 salesmen and clerical employees
And I got to walk in and go who's in charge of the group insurance plan and I got to sit with them and that takes time
And they've been with the other company for 18 years. That's work
When I have to come and that's what we all fucking dread
Guess who used to dread that I did for years. I thought oh, well if you go to the honda dealer
Here you are at the Cadillac dealer people come in they got to go home and think about it
But at the honda dealer I heard that people go in and they just lay down
For years as a car salesman, you're like, oh, yeah, I'll go over to the Mercedes dealer because people come in and lay down
Yeah, yeah, I'll buy that cloth for $20,000 over sticker. No
It's fucking work. It's always fucking work. I would bet those dealerships are harder to work at
Rich people are dicks in those situations, but you could listen but rich people got money. You have to excite them
Yeah, no, you know those little fucking salesmen are great. Listen a 50 year old
That's looking at his wife going this bat's getting old. I need my dick sucked
I'm gonna go to that bar with my son hangs out and fucking cars be one of those young bitches and look at some 20
Are you fucking kidding me though?
When you go in when when I'm a salesman you come in
I have to know that when you want this car for while I'm looking to expand my horizons
You're fucking 50. You're living off viagra. You're married. You're looking to get your dick sucked
Let's do this right motherfucker. Right. And also now look at the guy looking his eyes and just melt them before the conversation
He starts
Listen, so when you're telling me
You want some of your licky nuts right in the front seat and they'll look at you and come right
How did you know because I fucking know I got the right car for you
This is the coming in your front seat special
Well, it wouldn't happen to you, but I'm talking about like
Like the couple who comes in and it's usually like the woman
And like I'm just I worked in at a CVS in a nice town and I worked in a CVS in a shitty town
I purposely moved to the shitty town because like in the nicer town
Non-stop like
Like oh like like they like oh like they throw you their keys or something. I don't know
I would have assumed they would have been dick to you
Something everybody ain't like that though. It's you know, some people are some people ain't you know, it's
People people I guess why try not to even I just all I know is if I try to be as a hundred percent as I could be
Me and me
And try to grow and be better
Nobody else matter
You know what I'm saying like like like I think like we by being 100 and being
Trying to get better with time
You're gonna you're gonna be an influence to a lot of people and you're gonna whether good or bad
So so no matter what they do if you stay in your zone, they don't remember you
But how do you forgive like the bad things that they do like for me?
I'm
That that my anger towards the rich people is because I worked retail for all those years and they were dick
So I'm thinking that but now of course they're not all like that. Right. How do you forget?
Like how do you forget the things that you learned to hate?
I don't know whoever because first of all, I gotta what I do is I gotta look at
Why what is it that I don't like about them and then when I see what I don't like a bunch about eat some more goodies
From the bottom now we're here get it started from the bottom now my whole team fucking here
We're going deep it's Wednesdays church is here
You got comedy. Okay. I know what you're saying that applies to stand up
I see comics
I bumped into a comic two years ago one day that got me so depressed about comedy
I almost went home and fucking shot myself
I was vulnerable that night and I stood next to him and I knew better to stand next to this kiss like that
Okay, and and did you know he was kissing that? No, he had no idea
He had no idea. He was the kiss of death in the building. Did you know?
Uh, I had an idea until he opened his mouth and his kiss of deathness
Kept me like it. He was a magnet. Right. It was the weirdest night of my life
And you have you know, lee has really come up to me a couple times. I said, how the fuck were you talking to that guy?
He was creeping me out. He was doing material on you. So
Oh, yeah, that's the worst when they do the material
I was out one night with a guy
A guy telling me how bad for comedy rogan was
And uh how the store was not fair to people and right, you know
For every prior there was 30 other black kids that it was racist. I mean
And he was white, you know, I'm saying like uh, you know those white dudes
I give a fuck about black people and chinese and saved the fucking whales in europe
I've always had a question about people like that. Do you think at home?
By themselves and that worked up
Yeah, this is they can't wait to get out to talk to you about it. So they just itching to get out
They be storing it up at home didn't get on it
And all that thought lee if they got that thought out of there
They would write a joke
You have no idea what that thought does to your creative process stifles you just it stifles you it fucking stifles you
This guy got more spots. This guy's not funny. Why is he doing this? He's on the tv shows
He stole a joke. He didn't steal a joke. He wrote a joke. He's got a million dollars. He's broke
He's got nice sneakers. Do you know how big his house is? He's got this
He's got this and the whole time you're fucking broken. You got nothing going on
Struggling you got dick going on because you're worried about man. Lee's getting paid and shit
You're worried about his paper or the things he's got or the things you don't have
And I've been in those positions. I've been in those when I was 27. I was lost like everybody else
I thought that you know, oh that guy's got a lot of what do you give a fuck? He ain't gonna give it to you
Right. Why are you campaigning with his fucking money? He ain't gonna give nothing to fucking you
So now you have to worry about you know, you come here and you sit and you go
Well doc is going to Montreal and fucking Lee, you know, I you know why doc gets that because he ends up with Eddie Griffin
Lee's fucking Jewish. That's why he's
People like that. They go home at night. They're gonna even look at the work like that
They don't even look at anything else. And if they ever got it, it'd be oh, well, finally. I got it
Like you hear a lot of people shit on like they cook they be like
It's like
Don't give a fuck what y'all say he worked and made it happen. This is like like
Now anything else that he might have did wrong
Okay, I I don't know all the other stuff rumors, right? But regardless, it's just like
It's like man, just just do your thing
I fell into that myself being sure you do
As soon as you come here, I fell for it. You know what it is until 99. I had that here
Succeeding for me
And I was asking myself. What am I doing wrong if that guy can succeed?
Then you start trying to emulate what they do
And you lose yourself then you start taking advice from other people and you just lose yourself completely
For for the ones who stay in a zone from day one
They usually send them
Spring in faster and at a better rate and you have more success because they don't let too much of the outside influence
But unfortunately for somebody like myself, I was listening to too much. I was envying too much
I was doing all this bitch. You know low. It wasn't even so much as like bad
But it was more like
Bitch shit meaning I was feeling insecure because they had and I didn't absolutely and I was like, man
Yeah, which is kind of bitch shit. I just was like, man, I damn man and my mother used to get me on all the time
She's like, you're funny like them and you keep
Saying because they don't they got stuff and you don't you're not you're just as funny
But I always looked at it like I ain't that funny because
Shoot they they funnier than me because they got all this shit, right? You're funny. You work
Yeah, and when the light decides to shine you're prepared. That's what my mother always said, you know
Rogan's big question with me at least as smart as he is as intelligent
Every time we get to go on a plane. He goes what really happened to you in 99
Why didn't you get so funny all of a sudden we talked about on this podcast
He's always said it. Yeah. I when I first met you you were a lot funnier on stage
And then one day it clicked and i'm gonna tell you the two things that really clicked
Is that I always say that about people and they say number one number one
Number one the number one thing that clicked was
I stopped caring about the people around me and the situations and I stopped believing the bullshit
I stopped believing everything. I believe I believed in one person
Me
My word was the strongest. You know what you'll never sell a cd on your own. Yes, we will
You'll never do that. Yes, we will you know after a while you just have to start fucking doing this shit on your own
And I didn't care I got sick and tired of agents going you got to work clean
You know what you motherfuckers don't know nothing you haven't done dick. You're a fucking salesman. That's all you are
So I stopped believing in people and listening to people and I started believing in the fuck who the fuck I was
And that really helped. I just stopped
I just stopped
I was at the store. What am I listening to these people?
Menzy sure has dealt with comedians for 30 years. I'm listening to these agents. I graduated from syracuse. He gave you the green light
You understand me
I'm in the old fog following paul mooney every night, but i'm depressed because this guy won't fucking sign me
All right, i'm depressed because this guy doesn't think i'm i'm too old or whatever the fuck funny is funny
I learned I was a kid. I learned funny from jackie gleason. He was 50. Dom de la vie was a fucking old man already
But you know, but you know a dick taste that is yo
Yo, yo
argus hamilton said this to me and and I believe this he said doc. He said, you know what the number one
Problem with most comedians. I said what he said finances
He said I had a dad who got money. So it was easy for me to do the comedy
I want to he said y'all got it bad
So he said so it's kind of it it dictates a lot of different things in the way you think in the way you look at things
so if you if you somehow can
Focus on not being paid in the struggle of it. That's where that's where people get invasions to struggle and you'd be like
Damn it. Like how do I get to a point where i'm not sleeping on couch?
It's no more. Were they paying me? How do I get funnier? How do how come this guy?
so when you when you when you start
letting all that go and really just
Zoning in on you. That's when it gets better. You know, I for myself right now. I'm getting more feature work
I'm getting you know, I got a little cartoon I working on I got different things that that just been happening
You know from doing background work on the own people's tv show to me
That's all part of the building block of
Of what I want to become
But before any of that I was just like man. Shit sleeping on couches
I was going house to house staying with he and edwards and the waitresses was letting me live with them
Then it was you know, not live, but you know two days. Okay, you can stay over here a few days
So I was like all over the place standing sleeping in a mccarner hill police kicking people out of the
I lived in the car rowdy's floor man the hotel on schrader
I lived in the hotel on sunset behind the cat and fiddle for 65 a night. That was a creepy fucking hotel
I lived on some weird places the first three years I lived in I lived in josh wolf's couch
When he had the baby and the great dane in the fucking living room
The great dane would sleep on the couch and I'd be allergic to hair
But I love comedy. Yeah, I love comedy and when you look at it from that perspective
To sleep on somebody's couch. You really got to believe you really got to go. You know what?
Wait a second. I can move back to boston
I get some blow fronted to me
Within three weeks. I'm making money
I was thinking same
This guy's couch. Yeah, I used to always think out the movie. I'll give myself another month
Because I know it's new so many people on that level to get access to drugs so easy
I used to always be like all I got to do is one call and I give me a key right now
And I could flip these O's, you know
A couple tracks here and there and you know, but it just it was but but it all goes back to like
Then what?
You know, it was just like like like this has like doing like doing this
Not only has a purpose but it
It has that machismo behind it that when you go after something you really want no matter what it is
Whether you're a doctor lawyer or you the you the dude flipping fries and you want to be manager at mcdonald's you that that drive
That when you when you when you did that drive that thing that you just
Because you want that man, there's nothing that there's nothing that can get away of that but there
So at that point you would look you like what the fuck is sleeping on the couch?
What the fuck is sleeping in my car? What the fuck is is being sleeping out on the park bench for a little while?
These dudes is doing it if these homeless dudes. I ain't gonna be here for long
That's what you have to say to yourself. I ain't gonna be here for long, bro
And that's your incentive like
instead of
Taking your situation and looking down on yourself and crying and moping about it. You keep it moving and what happens
Is it just gets
Better and if it don't you'll die
So it's it's either or
It gets better or die and that's the game the game of choice. I mean, but
That's how life is though. You either sit there
Uh and make it better for yourself or you died right there. You see freaking mr. Fraser
Man, it was too much. You couldn't have that I got too deep
It's just crazy man. Like imagine like you grew up like now your daughter
One generation gap and the difference in the way she's gonna grow up
And just like the luck like what if you're you and your daughter had switched places?
Like it's like it's crazy how just like just the randomness and then all this shit happens to people
Right, right. Well, I'm just Hamilton
But I don't because the best work I've done is when I've been broke
Right, you know, what's the what gets you noticed of a band the first time why because they wrote it when they were fucking broke
Right. Yeah, they had a year to write it, but they wrote it when they were broke
Everything's different when you're fucking broke, right, you know, I love fucking being broke because
That's your best work. That's always when you work. That's how when you're broke you get to work at 10 to 8
Right or wrong, right, right when you're broke you get to work at 10 to 8
Skip dupe dupe. Yeah, do it ready to go
Once you get a couple yards in the bank you get that quarter after the fucking traffic
Yeah, my bird shit my mom killed me
Right, but but what our artist was saying was he like
What he was saying was just
That and and I see it like from working at the store 10 years
I've seen it people go and they just go work and they quit comedy because they just work in you know what I'm saying
Like they just the workload the wives is on them
You know, there are some guys who wives didn't left them and now they succeed. It's hilarious. It's like oh, shit
That is do succeed. I could see
Being that in love with comedy that somebody would leave you my wife was very close
When I proposed to marry terry two months later. She didn't tell me I knew she was very close
I don't love comedy
Right, this is what you do. You know what this reminds me of this is your first love g
You know what jim remind me of what you're saying? He
Yeah, what Al Pacino and Robert Nero remember how they were so into what they was doing that scene when they came together
He was like, I do what I do. How do you have a wife? It's like I do what I do
How you have a girl and they was like, hey man, this is this is what we do
Like all day. I don't know nothing else. Yeah, because the only way she's gonna stay with me
is two ways
Yes, if I'm happy
And be if I have money I have to be able to give her all right security and support right so
Before anything this is what I need to do. Yeah, I know what Thanksgiving
I know what America is doing. They're eating turkey. But guess what? I gotta borrow 20 for the turkey, which means I gotta go work, right?
I gotta go work. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. But that's how real people look at situations
there
My problem is is people who take
all these
Holidays and different things so serious to where like they they ignore
The real values of you know what I'm saying like like it's like
Like me and my mom was we don't even trip on birthdays and Christmas really we don't well
We just when when she hit me up
You coming home from Christmas is not because it's Christmas because she know that that's the time that I could take off for the vacation
And so she just wants to see me. You see what I'm saying or you come sometimes should be like
You want to come home this this month or or this some you know, I'm saying the quality time is more important than the days, you know, like
As long as you connect them with with with the person that's for you when you need to and when you can
That's that's what holds it together. Yeah, but you see man when I was trying to do my comedy thing
It was tough. It was tough to connect with anybody. Oh, I know. I mean I walked out basically on a
I didn't write. I don't know buddy. No, I had a daughter
And I was trying to be a dad
But I knew that my urge for comedy was more and I wasn't doing to know justice
By living there
Going to war in front of her every week. I knew that I do more
I do more for her if she saw me become something with my life
That's what I always start the back of my fucking head
Right that that that's the most important thing. I gotta become something because you might not be here
I might be in love fucking around but you might disappear one fucking day and here I am and I missed out on my shit
Yeah, because I've been because I've been in trying to you know
I used to be in a relationship that I was always thinking about her happiness years ago
And I'm like, what the fuck do I give a fuck what she's happy? I gotta do what the fuck i'm doing
Remember you're at the end of heat remember
After he told him he said never he said uh, never
Holders have something you can't turn your back on the 30 seconds if you feel a heater on the quarter
So what happened into the movie he come out fire trucks police
Okay, I went and he looked at his girl and he just backed up and just bang
And he knew he fucked up. He just left her
And he got shot let me do this
He got shot that's why I have to pick her up
That's just extra fucking
Now I gotta hear I'm cold
My fever
I should have left you alone because it could have been worse
He could have jumped in the car with her took off and both of them could have got killed
The cops are chasing it. I gotta hear complaints. I'm the don't do 90. He just ran a red light. I don't give a fuck the cops
Yeah, he's like hey the heater on the corner. I'm going
To the muddy you want that air conditioner. It's getting colder by the minute in here. That's why I said, oh my god
It's there. I'm over here like shit. I thought y'all were the damn these dudes is over here
Todd Stimson
Rich santa cruz Stefan Sturgeon
DJ Dorchester my main man
Cody plastico
Stefan Sturgeon. It's his fucking birthday. I think so happy birthday my brother Cody Plexico
Carl hungus
Benito Munoz and my main people who gave me and lee
Some fucking cards to go shopping red and lin powers always making it happen
These shout outs from twitter or what lin looking beautiful. These are people who are fucking family members, you know on the
The podcast podcast on the school, you know, it's happy. I'm really happy you came on to it
Something's been going on lately that just drove me great, you know
An art is a beautiful thing no matter what you do. It's a beautiful thing right
And let's pretend once you get good at that art. It's a beautiful thing
But something happens people get involved and then money gets involved there
And when money gets involved always makes things I went to a meeting with lee a few weeks ago and
The guy was kind enough to just talk to us and it opened up my eyes and
I
Was pushed into a decision because
My agency, you know, they're just treating me like men's and men's, you know, and I just wanted more
I've been on eight auditions
And I wanted to be on more auditions and I want more backing, you know, so I went to the agent
I met with one guy and then I contacted my agent. He's like, oh, listen. I need the the goods
I need the team or not. What am I doing that?
You guys are just going to put me on the road three weeks a month
You're going to make me money till one day i'm fucking 58 and there's nothing left
Right, and I got no resume. You know what i'm saying? I have meetings or shot themselves over that, right, you know
so this has to
And they were like, okay, and he tried to play me off
And yesterday was supposed to have a talk and
It was one of the worst talks in my life like I remember
Maybe six or seven talks in my life one of the worst talks when my uncle told me I was a piece of shit that
I was never gonna mountain on dna and all that shit
right
The talk when I went to prison the guy telling me that if he had something I wanted, you know
The talks that make you look inside right yourself and uh, and it's talks that sometimes you know the answer
You just don't want to think about it until somebody tells you and this guy told me what I needed to hear basically that
He couldn't help me that they didn't like me. Oh, wow. Okay, and that there's nothing you could do and in comedy sometimes
That's one of the things that beats you up, you know, that's when you get down on yourself
I look at other comics and they talk to comics and sometimes they look at mine and they go uncle joey, you know
I want everybody went to montreal. I'm not going to montreal. It makes you know, and I get it because how was that guy
I've always been that guy, you know, oh, you're too old for this. You're too young. You came at the wrong time
And I was thinking after I got off the phone and for a minute there was pity
You know a lot of people don't know this but I'll put it out there when my mom died
There was money involved and my stepdad never gave me the money and for years
I thought he would give me the money
And one of the chains that I let go of was saying, you know what?
I don't want that money
I don't want that. I'm not even gonna fight for that money no more. It was taken from me
I have to figure out on my own how to go out there
And get this paper. Yeah, you know
And that's what a lot of people don't want to do like they just
Did me and lea favor
You know what I'm saying by him saying to me this is what's going on. We can't help you. We don't want to help you
They don't like you
You give a guy like me more ammunition, you know
Because you just put a mouse against a wall. I'm one of those dudes. I'm a rat in a corner when you do that type of shit
Oh, yeah
And I've been thinking I thought about it last I mean last night was so tight when I go to acupuncture
One thing then he's a pot edible and to do a kettlebell work
I slept like a baby last night. I was watching tv and I sat there for 20 minutes like I've been sitting here for 20 minutes
I don't even know what the fuck I'm watching. All right. Well, it's thinking about how your life is always
about
They're kind of like disappointments
You get disappointed and that's the realities is how stuck
You get about that disappointment
Yeah
That's the reality of life
Is you have a divorce if you get stuck for eight years or you get stuck for two
It's all up to you. You don't even know you're stuck when you're stuck
I've been stuck 20 fucking times and people listen to the podcast
I've been stuck 20 times and they don't fucking know it. Yeah, but it's so weird. How the fuck that way to look at life
Because
What is life depends on how you're a little kid you're a little fucking kid
Everything's good. You're gonna pneumonia. You lose an eyeball. You're right, but you know what you're gonna do
You're gonna choke. He's gonna be the one-eyed kid. No, you gotta live two life with a glass eye and it looks one way
And your eye looks the other and you adjust and then when you're 12 your grandpa dies and your grandpa taught you how to be efficient
So now you follow me. How do you know we have all the good times?
Well, what I do the disappointments though, but the disappointments make you they're positive. That's why yeah, because
That's what a lot of people don't understand is
Positive and negative both can be positive for the person that's willing to be
positive period leave for 30 seconds
I almost called and said lee take the camera and show it up your fucking asshole. I'm never doing the podcast again
I'm done with fucking entertainment. Really lee every time somebody takes wind out of your cells
When you're a hot looker, there's two ways to take wind out of a person's cells
There's people who don't want to do the work and they get the wind taken out of their cells
Then there's the people who do the work get the wind taken out of their cells
Right the people who don't do the work. They'll fucking sail away
The people who do the work fucking just fucking pick up those cells again and go fucking let the you know what I'm saying
You gotta go for it. You know that calm to sit listen. I haven't talked to my uncle in 10 months
And it breaks my heart because of my daughter. I want my daughter to have blood
You know and because I don't talk to my uncle. I haven't talked to my cousin right so it's been going on
But you know what man? I gotta be honest with you. I never got over the conversation in 1984
A lot of people are listening to me going joey. How childish are you? It was a real fucking conversation
Well, I didn't need that conversation. I was starting to mourn it took me five years to finally mourn my mother
And all of a sudden this motherfucker is telling me that I'm never gonna mount to nothing
Right because my dna was just horrible. We were drug dealers and we stabbed people and I gotta tell you
That destroyed me for about
Bro, that destroyed me for like two and a half. I had the same thing with my pops two and a half fucking months
My father told me I won't go never be shit. And you know what?
Oh, I'm never gonna be shit. Guess what now. I'm gonna show up as good shit
Right, you know that teacher that I'm going to dinner with with my daughter and we're going to art the avenue with mr. T
You know, I lived with mr. T for six weeks
I was telling you guys before and I got a job at crest kill liquors
And I was robbing these guys blind
I mean robbing them blind from day one from day two
It took me a day to realize these guys are fucking pigeons
Right, and then I just did it. It was one of those old cash registers
It was old-time alcoholics from the neighborhood
They come in all creeped up between six and nine after they got off the bus
To go home and get that late night bottle and they come in they spent $12.99. I charge them $10.99 $2.99. I take the $10
You understand me. So I was I was making money all night. Look, are they counting the inventory or
So the Lord apple juice tonight after after a month they finally and I would rob right in front of the guy
The owner would be sitting there waving at people neck. I hear that one
I'd be like thank you $2.99 and then when he would get up I'd take the 30 out of the register even with the fucking camera
I mean I was robbing these guys blind
And he complained tea came in one day to liquor store and they told tea and he told me you embarrassed the shit out of me
You know
Do and by that time I had already lived
In tana fly and tea can't call me one day. He goes man. I just talked to the guy at the liquor store
What the fuck did you do with that?
The guy said his fucking inventory went down 80 percent when you were working. I was robbing him late
I got a whole new apartment
Furniture a fucking new walkman. I had clothes. So what were you doing?
I would work four nights away from six to nine and I was stealing 200
I was working with the fuck we
Mayday mayday we just got hit
Leeds fucking two and a half stars. You know, he did he pressed the button. Yes. He did. I watched the whole fucking thing go
I think
They're back, but I think so. I think though. Yeah, that was you your fuck. I seen the whole thing go down
Yeah, it's like when you hit the music and the fucking thing turns down you shave your head. You got all fucking crazy
What were we saying about the what I was because you said that uh
He said that your uncle was like you what were you doing? He said man you you did
Oh, I cried. I snorted coke and cried in the hotel
I fucking was so it destroyed me that
Because I had felt that I was gonna mount tonight. I was doing nothing. I was robbing people
I was living on people's couches. I didn't have a job. I didn't graduate high school. I had nothing
No potential nothing. I had nothing going on
And I figured I'd come out here
And I'd start a new life and he'd finance me and I'd pay him back. Fuck. No. He's like I wouldn't fucking help you
Your garbage. It's in your dna. Oh my god
I cried for two fucking days. This was the last of my blood
This guy's supposed to help me not fucking put me down and that put down and then I got locked up
And I'll never forget sitting in that prison two years later and I'd be
Furious at him because he was right. I ended up in prison and I would go to the payphone
And I get whatever three 25 and quarters and I put the block star 69
And I call them up and I go you're fucking dead
You're dead in spanish and he goes who's this who the fuck is this?
And he fucking hang up on me and shit. They want my father and he fucking hang up the phone on me
But you know what that talk because when I got to the prison that talk in the back of my mind pushed me
You know what I'm saying when I got locked up that talk that that dude had with me
I was pissed at him for three months. That made me who I was today and 91
This white dude gave me a talk about stand-up comedy dog
That oh my god, I still get mad at him for how he spoke to me like that
But the reason oh my god, he just read me the riot act on life and comedy
But when somebody reads you the riot act
It's a mirror
There's a few people who could do it and get away with there's people who do it from an anger side
Right, that's not a good side
And there's people who do it from a hatred side at the comedy store. They'll attack you, you know
You stole a joke or whatever the fuck they'll go up to you
But then there's people that do it because you anger them because you're not doing
It's like a good. It's like a potential. You know, I see it all the time. Yeah, like there's nights. I go home
I I'm leaving and I just look to see what's coming up. I see a comics new specials coming up
I go fuck that guy's made me laugh
And all of a sudden the first joke is like this fucking stolen joke or this fucking joke
And all of a sudden I go you just lost me just fucked it up. So I cheer for the comic. You know what I'm saying?
All right, try to give him some counting
What was I saying? I'm fucking high
Those fucking stars
Yeah, I still gotta take a flight tonight your shit
Fucked up on that
I would tell you flat out like 11
You what I didn't wait too much
Can see what that was
He fucked
Look at him
Who gives a fuck you're gonna fight you're like fucking Madonna in 86
But it's true like like you like last night I could last night there was a for an hour there
I just sat on the couch numb
Like I just sat there in the chair numb. I've been doing calmly 24 fucking years. I'm a grown man
I've been through a thousand fucking things. I sat on the couch numb
The other day no yesterday when I had this conversation with this agent
Right
And it all pointed to the same thing it all pointed to anything else that's happened to me in my life
Excuse me
9 out of 10 when somebody has told me those type of things
It's things that I've already known
And I've paid attention to them. I just wanted somebody else to tell me now. I know what I have to do
To help myself right a lot of people usually don't know how to help themselves
That's been the fucking theme of this show is
That we have different paths. I mean you could just
Get an anthony robbins book right and read the anthony hot whatever his name is robbins, whatever is fucking tony robbins
You could put barbecue coals in your backyard and jump up and down on top of them
You know, whatever the fuck you want to do, but
It's uh, it's doing it like it's fucking you learn from
You learn from your fucking mistakes or when life throws you a curveball
Sometimes life throws you a curveball and you I bumped into a friend of mine the other day
His father died three years ago
left
cash
Cash
But the brother jumped on it
Before the will got read
Ba ba ba ba ba ba. He hasn't talked to his brother
This was his favorite brother the brother stopped talking to the rest of the family
You know, they were accusing them of taking two million fucking dollars. Let me tell you something
These people are the nicest fucking white people I ever met. I know the brother and I know him and I know the sister
And I know the husband to the sister. I've known him in that life for 15 fucking years
I know their kids
I know their kids when they were kids now they're adults playing guitar and shit and you look at and I gotta tell you something
When I saw them the other day on the drive home, I told my wife I go and I had a tear in mind
My wife goes, why are you emotional? I go because if I ever
If I ever went up before God as a young kid and said what do you want at the age of 10
I want to go I want to be that family
When I first met these people
When I first met them, I met him as a writer. He had a show on abc
That was a top show and I knew this agent said you should meet with him and we hit it off so much
And he's from fucking Malibu. We hit it off so much. He introduced me to the brother
Who's a musician and he introduced me to the sister. I went to their parties
I went to their fucking thanksgivings right then the dad came the dad took me on it
The dad took me and I saw the documentary about the family and their fucking bad ass and the dad
Just did so many great things and he left all this money. He died unexpectedly
And now this family doesn't talk
And this is like the third family I've grown up around
That I loved as a child or and as an adult
That definitely, you know, and I could see that
This has broken him
And I even pulled him aside like oh listen when I know you're down, but you gotta get back to right
Right, even write a movie about this. You got you still it's whatever he goes. Yeah
I go so you're sitting at home three years
Arguing with this guy every two days on the phone
Right
I go you might and when I was telling this I could see that his eyes lit up his cheeks got a little red
I go write a script about a family. I got broken up by money
Hmm, that's the only way. You know what I did yesterday when after about two hours
I went in the room and I wrote about what happened and when I read it back
It took the sting away
Right and it made my life a lot better. I'm here with you motherfuckers today
So sometimes something bad happens, you know, you feel bad write it down and tell the story and then read it
Right by reading it. You're like, oh this ain't nothing
This is like Muhammad Ali punching me in the fucking jaw, man. You know, right?
It's sometimes I get worked up like I feel like I'm towards I'm getting towards the end of what you were talking about earlier
Earlier like a feeling jealous like every few months. I'll be like, uh, like I'll get like nerve
I'll have a big bill or something and I'll get nervous
and
and uh
I get like worked up in my head and then it's like I have to calm myself down
So it's kind of cool. I guess writing it down would would be helpful like you could just write it down
You'd be surprised sometimes what
Sometimes you get mad at like listen one thing I've learned is
And I was wrong for a long time. I love all those revenge films. Do you have to watch the chinese connection again with brucelly?
That's a movie right there. No, just a fury and chinese connection. They got their messages
God damn when he hangs those two dudes
He starts hanging people in chinese connection
But it's so weird like man on fire all those movies are my type of movies
But you learn something sometimes. Well, I learned it with my ex-wife
Do you know I tweeted my ex-wife like my daughter and I sent her a message and I tried to be her friend
It's still pending. Can you fucking believe that? I just want to get but you know what I feel good
I got it out of the way. All right now. I get a decision from her. Well, he's pending. Oh, she's the client
Who gives a fuck? She's gonna decline it. I don't give a fuck at this point. This is what's gonna happen, but
It's so weird like all those situations. It's true
People say those situations toughen you up because it's how you respond and how caught how long you're caught in limbo
Yeah, I was caught in my mother's death for five years
It took five years off from me then another 20. I gave the cocaine
I lost 25 fucking years along the fucking way fucking around
You know, do I wish I had him back? Yes and no
Because it made me double up. Yeah, it made me who the fuck I am today man. So
Sometimes I get emails from people telling me how bad that life is and I got to walk them off the fucking cliff or
Give them a quote. It's
And that's what it is. It's how we react to these fucking things dog. Yeah
This motherfucker yesterday. I called Lee last night. We're timely 12 o'clock. We're talking about our plan. Were we not? Yeah
I almost took you out the dinner last night with that card we had
And then my wife made fried chicken, you know, somebody makes fried chicken. She's from the south. You can't there ain't no dinner
I was gonna take it to that chinese restaurant last night
Which one the one you were talking about the fucking egg rolls the other night on the podcast
See uncle joey takes care of you
Tell him leon cold water. It's like emperor express. It's a burp bank and
Yeah, right around there right by the valley college. There's two malls pretty good. That's what he said
I've never eaten there. Oh, you just look at the pictures
Don't be bullshitting me. Don't send me. Don't pull us. Leave some on us. Yeah
Oh
I've only gotten delivery. It looks like it's like one of those like shitty places that you only get taken out
What did you get delivery from there? Well, I've got okay. I've gotten the general's chicken. Oh, yeah
I've gotten a pan fried and steamed dumplings the egg rolls are really good
And then that's really it like sometimes I'd mix it up
But that's really calm about most chinese places and stuff like that out here
They not you like back east you get big chunks of white meat
And a little bread wrapped around and out here. It's like all of it's hard battered
Except for chin chin chin chin's do it like back east
You know i'm talking about joe
What are you eating though? I don't want no batter anyone. No, I'm not like, you know, I want to see that me last time
I ain't bad. That could be a finger. I could be
But but they know like they say that you know child chicken, you know, none of that the sweet and sour
What do you what do you when you go to attorney?
Not like if I get like I'm a shrimp and lobster sauce type of guy
Always but the whole problem is these motherfuckers don't know how to make it
So I got to adjust to some type of meat dish
You know, what is it lobster sauce? I've never even had it delicious. I've seen it all the time
You gotta eat on these coasts. No, you gotta eat on the you can't eat it here
It's like on the east coast they make egg food young and they put a sauce on it with little fucking sprouts
Delicious of china town somewhere in black. I had it in boston
Off a route one at that comedy place. Oh my god
With the brown rice fried rice and stuff. I like all that stuff
You know, I was gonna take you there and like ah and then my wife made the fried chicken
I said fuck that and she only made uh, she made chicken soup
But she took two pieces four pieces six pieces and she fried them up the baby got two
I got two
You literally I think I might get her make fried chicken
No
You know, no guys like me don't get sick guys like me into preventive medicine
That's the secret
That's what america can do
When you're making 10 bucks an hour when you have two kids and you feel a flu coming on
You don't have time to sleep. You know, you know what I'm saying?
So you can't you try to do the best you can to maintain it if if I don't feel good on a monday night
And I got to leave on thursday the last thing I want to do is give the people on friday a bad show because i'm sick
Give me do a show when you're sick. You can pull it off. I've done it
