Shit a little black Sabbath on a Monday you can tell Greg Poops in the house
Lisa at Monday November 23rd
I never really owned an album, but I think they're groovy. I love Aussie. I
Love that screechy sound man. I love that fucking out. That's the that time great proofs. What's happening brother everything, baby
Come bearing gifts like the three wise men the new album in the ballpark. I'm vinyl
Great proof take it and he also brought the new book in the smartest book in the world
Authored by the smartest man the world podcast, you know how we do it. He always give him plugs when we can do what's up
My brother well, I've been busy in the proofs orchard obviously and everything's orange oriented if you notice it
This is my favorite part of the of the record not not the material or having worked on it or anything like that, but oh shit
It's the orange vinyl
So it's in that awesome 50s bowling ball
Motif oh wait, let me switch fucking tremendous fucking tremendous. That's a genius idea
Yeah, Ryan and Matt who work with Jimmy Pardo and Doug Benson
We will work together and we've made several records together and they do that podcast and everything and so we were thinking out
Let's do it when we do the album
Let's actually do an album version of the album because you can download it, of course like everyone will like I already have
But if you want to spin we thought let's do a groovy album covered. I mean a groovy record that's got texture and everything and a
Groovy album cover my wife took the picture my buddy Jeff our friend Jeff
Marcus John did the the album cover and so it's a family affair
Now you really believe in vinyl, correct
Well, I know advocate or you just did this for this album or as you can tell Joe
I move with the times because the interweb is in my blood as you know, I'm like Tron
I
Will fight a gigabyte in a hallway or whatever Tron did on the other case
I'm old-fashioned and I love books and records and so and I think books and records are the real deal there that the tactile
Function of it the putting a record on to spin it the picking up a book to put in a marker in it putting it down
You know, I think it's a whole groovy experience. I really think when they stopped doing albums
They took a big part of music out for me
Yeah, like I never got used to getting the CD opening it up and just putting the CD in I never got used to the thrill
Was completely government the whole thing about going getting the album walking home that fucking excitement of walking home
Yeah
ripping the plastic ripping the plastic putting it on
You know if you were lucky enough you you went to your buddies who had a garage and you rolled the joint
You open the album cover and you roll the joint and you pass the album cover around and look how good he looks
So look how cool the guitar whatever it was this big
It's like somebody once told me that in this country way before I got here from Cuba
I don't remember that buying selling a car was completely different
Yeah, that they would put the car in the showroom with a blanket on top of the cover and you walk past every day going
What are they gonna pull that thing up and then on that Saturday they pulled it out
And they had like a mini circus and hot dogs. Oh, yeah, they pulled a couple of people would make offers and you know
They took all that
That that excitement for me that was no Eddie Bravo one night
I was high doing a show with Rogan and
Brogan was on stage and he brought will tell me a story about
Everybody in this table and anybody could relate to this story that everybody in this neighborhood hated kiss
So when the new kiss out came out he had to walk at home in back
I was right and jump fences and and bring it and his brother hated kiss
He had to bring the album with his headphones. Yeah
I'm gonna fucking bed and then you know when everybody was asleep
He'd take it out and with the flashlight and when he told me I started go, you know, that's a one-man show. Yeah, you
It's at least a novella
Yeah, that is a one-man show man. You could do an hour on that
So what was different with the CDs for you
That you get nothing I got fucking music. I
Get fucking music, you know, I buy a CD about a film
Let's say I'm a Batman freak and I buy a CD about a film. Yeah, they have the extras
So I could look at and the interviews and shit like that, but there was something about reading
Yeah
Something about reading
Okay, and then with music the same thing
Listen, did you just not hear the process the process started when you went to get it and then you go walk home
And if you had to take a bus
Lee, it's like if I told you I'm gonna suck your dick when you get to the house
And now you're getting the bus in this traffic. What the fight that's the excitement
It was an exciting thing now and this is the time now you go to iTunes or whatever payloads
Boom fin and they send your thing and you don't read. There's no story. There's no note to the consumer
Also, you know what he did. Oh look that the coupon entitles you to a free download of this record in digital formats
If you buy the album, you can download it anyway and like that. So there you are just a little note
This is this to me
Means the world this to me means that every time you release something
I'm gonna buy it
good bad
Whatever the fuck
Because you took the time
This is what they're not doing anymore
Your music is great. I'll give you the $10 for the fucking album, but do me a favor put a little Vaseline around exactly
Give me a picture of the band. Give me something Van Halen worst. However, let's Van Halen three
Yeah, at least they gave you a poster of Andy whatever is the singer handcuffed to a wall
I ripped that up 80 times
But at least they fucking gave you something
Yeah, I buy something today and I feel like I've just got fucked
When I buy a CD, I'm excited unless I spent 60 bucks for the Bruce Springsteen CD
Box and they'll rip you off every fucking year remastered the lost tapes. Listen. They're lost for a fucking reason
Okay, you have a bad set at the ice house. They give you a tape on the way out
You take that motherfucker you put in your glove compartment. You hope the Sun melts it, okay?
All of a sudden you die is some jerky. I'll says look what I found
And now you got all this bad material out there after you're dead and kids are like he was fucked
They they fucking did that to bill Hicks. They released every fucking thing he did, you know why he was working on whatever
You're not ready to fucking do that stuff
So who I always wanted that because and I never met him patrice o'neill
They're releasing another album that he did and I was like why didn't why wouldn't he have released it back then
Because somebody found it, you know, somebody gave it something. Maybe it maybe the profits go
To
But it's not even just him
It's always it always struck me as odd that they would re-release something
Where you think if they if the people wanted it released it would have been released
Okay
right now
The Beatles re-release. Yeah, what is that? Tell me what that is. No, no, no. I'm just I don't even know what it is
I'm just saying posters for it anywhere to be those re-release
Sergeant pepper. Yeah, and they had two songs a new song
That I don't think they have any songs wringo and yeah, let's say they got together and sang fucking jingle bells
Yeah, I don't give a fuck and just did a little interview 20 years later
You know what if they said the money was going to some charity a percentage. Oh, yeah
I'd buy the fucking out, you know, that's the type of guy buy the album
You know how many times I bought sergeant peppers 80 fucking
I'd buy it again, you know, but
Sometimes they just put out these lost tapes what John Lennon that's fucking Yoko
That's fucking Yoko will steal a fucking, you know, she started putting out garbage
And that's not what he wanted out. Nobody wants they got too far too far
How many fucking arms and that poor bastard put out. I know you know, he didn't want those chucks
Or he would have wanted to work on them more. Well, you know, they do it with authors too
Jack London died and left a book and I'm not kidding two or three authors came in and finished the book and put it out
Now I think that one's
Assassination bureau limited but I mean he was a famous author at the time
And like, you know, like mark twain's biography just got published the last couple years and it's this big
And he wrote into his will this isn't to be printed until a hundred years after I die
And then that's when they put it out
They finally put it out and like I don't even know that he really wanted it out ever
Because it's him being awful about all those contemporaries, you know, it's it's this giant journal basically of a life, you know
It's a thousand zillion pages. And uh, so people
Kurt Cobain his poetry after he died remember there was a big controversy
Should they release that notebook that had all the doodles in it and shit? Now, that's your fucking notebook
That's not a
polished piece of art that you make
That you finish that you fucking edit that you put stuff on to it's a it's thoughts
It's random. I know everybody wants to see the process
So I understand the impetus and they urge to want to see everything an artist did
But by the same token like I remember I had a friend of mine at a jimmy hindricks album
It was like
Just the worst fucking noodling on stage in london that some other guy put out and went like hindricks is on this
And it doesn't make you like hindricks more makes you think well, he did this gig with this guy and
You know, it's just shitty and you're like
It was totally being sold under that and uh, you know like jimmy hindricks with so and so and you're like
He didn't want that record. Oh, he wanted to fucking of all artists
You know honing refining
We're exploring making it better making it different not not just here's some shit
I thought of in the fucking car on the way over and now I know like pink Floyd
Used songs that were left over from some album for another album that were really good. Yeah
You know, I could see that that you maybe you tapped me
I could see a guy leaving 10 songs and one of them being spectacular
The stones I think have dozens of songs, but I think they've been
You know picky about which ones they put out they don't put out like everything they recorded the Beatles
I think we're down to the limit. I don't think there's any tracks kicking around that aren't just
An extra track is you know the song we know that's been sung over again
They've kind of put out everything they did but it also speaks to what they wanted to do, right?
They did put out maybe there's one album of oddities and rarities
They never put out, you know that when they were down, but like they put out
The fucking work on their shit and they fucking put out here's 11 songs man
The 70s were brutal for beatle fans
They made you hate the fucking Beatles right like I like the Beatles, but the beatle fans
Were brutal in the mid 70s what happened in the 70s in the 70s the Beatles broke up 71 maybe yeah 70
So in 75 you were finding yourself having arguments
You know that's why in a way it was a relief when John Lennon got shot because you can't say a fucking word
I'm sick and tired of you talking about this shit. They're not getting back together
You know it was like you always got into a fucking argument about the beat
I came from a heavy-duty music neighborhood where every day somebody disagreed with you on something
You know and and like I've told a bunch of my friends you could insult me to the end
You know when I get wired up when we talk about music
Like if you start fucking getting me fired up about music I get fired up
And I don't know how many beatle arguments got
In that neighborhood, you know like arrow smith's album is great
You know, let's just say in 75 they release rocks
Okay, you know and you bring your uh eight track or your cassette player to the basketball court
And you put in rocks there was always some jerk off that said take that off and put on uh, you know rubber salt
And you're like fucker. We'll listen to the rocks man arrow smith is great, but they're not the Beatles
You know, but they
Wait till the Beatles get back together all this shit's gonna end none of this shit's gonna end and they got so
Fucking annoying
They got so fucking annoying and every year like oh, there's a rumor they're getting back together
Then now I just talked to yoko everybody just talked to fucking yoko and
Paul and her don't still get along. It was crazy the beating the Beatles left on this country
was a phenomenal beating that people do not know today and
Guys that are my age and mr. Proops, they know, you know from 60 something to 70 he was dead
They were playing a trick on america that paul was fucking dead, right?
Can you imagine that wait what they were playing a trick on america that paul was dead
Yeah during magical mystery tour a magical mystery tour and there was one other album
He walked there was he out the abbey road. He's barefoot walking
He's walking and when they put you in a casket your barefoot
They played a fucking day. Listen. There's people in therapy right now because of the Beatles
Yeah at the end of what is it strawberry fields strawberry?
Paul is dead. I buried paul. Yeah paul is dead. So everybody at the very ending it goes
Breary
Paul like that and you're supposed to discern that that met paul was dead
And then there is one there where they go paul is dead paul. It was crazy if you look at uh, sorry 28 is
It's on the license plate if you look at uh the thing there's a thing with paul a flower arrangement
And it has peony charge of pepper. Yeah sergeant pepper. These motherfuckers did a number on this country. Jesus christ
John came along and softened it up the fucking magical whatever not magical mystery tour goodbye yellow brick road and the shit
But and then then they broke up
So now all these morons in this country were held without there. That's it. They broke up. They were fucking people were confused
You know, look at the tapes when they first hit canada airport lee. Oh, yeah, got out kids crying
I don't fucking cry you cry
People were crying and shit
So they made an emotional beat and then all of a sudden in the middle of they're getting back together getting back together
They shoot they never said that but they kept going up every six months. They weren't saying shit. They weren't they hated each other
They weren't speaking they weren't even talking they could give a frenchman's fuck
Did you see that show that came on two weeks ago?
But how much money they had and what really went on with the oh, no
How she cut the kid out of the will and the fucking because she gave all the money to shone and that's the
The son had to take it to court. Oh julian. Yeah, they're worth
Billions. Oh, they have to be yeah billions. He just did something. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no the money
You know what they made that biggest money the Beatles you ready?
They bought apple they they had a company called apple music
Oh when they sold it to and when they sold it to apple 500 million or something like that
A fucking he stole their logo. Yeah, the green apple the green apple which is a migrete painting and
There was an art dealer in london named groovy bob who was a
Gay and had been in the army with idi amin when he was a colonial troop, right?
He said he claims to have had sex with idi amin. He's quite dead now
But he was a drugged up art dealer in london and all the rock stars hung out with him because he was that guy
You know, he's you can look him up online and he's got the shades went on. What's his name?
Golly, we just look up groovy bob and see if we can find it from there
I can't I'm blanking on his last name. My wife's gonna kill me and uh
Anyways, uh, he was an art dealer. We were always trying to get the Beatles in the stones to buy paintings
And he he came in with the migrete painting and left it on paul mccartney's kitchen table
And it's a picture and you can look that up too if you want migrete
Uh of a of a clerk with it with a bowler hat on but a giant green apple
In front of his face and so paul they'd been talking about what are we going to call the company?
We need a name we need a name for the Beatles. We can't call it the Beatles
We want to name for the company because we're going to do all these movies and
Groups and whatnot. Oh, there he is. There he is. What's his name bob?
I just searched groovy bob
He's a peacock, baby. Yeah, he's got three ties on this guy's the real fuck
There's a picture of him and mick jagger in the back of a car being arrested and they've got their hands up
And so he left that and um
Uh
That is Frazier Frazier and his father was a big wig with like the bank of england
He was from a really wealthy connected family, but he was an art dealer and a bohemian like, you know crazy and uh
So there's a book about him called groovy bob if you ever want to read that and uh, he he it explains in the book
How he left the uh painting for paul and paul showed it to the boys and they went fucking perfect apple
We're gonna call it apple because the the green apple was such a
Here look up uh migrete ma g r i t t e
and apple
Thank you. Lee i mean to order you to do that if you would please do that
No, and i didn't mean to you know say like there's a lot of beetle fans because i'm a
A lot of them there i became a bigger fan of them
Like after the 80s. I don't know. Oh, yeah, I don't know. They kind of grow on you like sinatra
There can be times you're like i don't want to hear it. Well, I didn't like the early ones
I like the smoke pot me too. Me too. All that. I like the judge ones. Yeah is tremendous
Which one do you which one is the right one? It should be uh, see the one with the apple in front of his face
Yeah, that's the one he left on paul's table
That one on the one on the left there
I believe
Fucking tremendous and that and so they always use that green apple and apple uses a big green apple
He's a belgian painter. Where were you when junglin and got shot? I was doing the play
You're not gonna believe this one. I was doing the play equus at san francisco state. I was 20 and there's a nude scene in it
uh, equus is the one where the kid uh
as obsessed with horses and he's being a
Deprogrammed by a psychiatrist, right?
The psychiatrist is having a midlife crisis at the same time
He's deprogramming this kid the kid's gone crazy and blinded a bunch of horses and no one can figure out why he's done this
And so the play kind of they psychoanalyze the kid and that's the whole play is the kid flashing back to his world
So he gets a job as a groom and he's not no friends or anything and he
Takes the horses out at night naked and rides them until he blasts off right and that's a scene in the play and
He doesn't have sex with the horses
He rides on top of the horses and does like auto erotic, you know puts a fucking bit in his mouth and right
So it's kinky. Now who played this kid? I played the fucking kid. It was 1980 man
So I was skinny and uh, you had to get naked in the second act because he reenacts the being in the stable
So the actors are wearing giant fucking like, you know theatrical
Holding horse heads, right? Like these so they're looming and it's very greek tragedy, right?
So they're not realistic and you're in this stable at the end and the kid loses his shit
He's gonna have sex with a girl
But the horses are all there that he rides on every night
And he can't fucking deal because he has no sexual relationship with women
But he does have one with the fucking horses, right? So
He
He freaks out and threatens her and she splits and then he
Blinds the horses, right?
And then at the end he gets cured and the whole point of the play is because it's written by a british man
And stuffing your emotions is very important while he's curing the kid as the play goes on
He keeps talking to the audience and to his best friend and saying
You know, I had a dream last night. I was a doctor and it was ancient greece and I was performing sacrifices and the mask started slipping
And you know, like he starts to have the fucking god complex freak out of
The kid is a wild thing, right? The kid's a wild thing. He committed this awful act
But he's emotional and he feels and he's insane
And he knows if he cures him he's just gonna become another fucking person that rides around and buys a washing machine
And what can watch his tv, right? Like he doesn't want to do it
If the trick of the play is that he does it because he has to he's a doctor
But at the same time he's like
So at the end he goes there's a bit in my mouth a sharp bit in my mouth and it never comes out
like the the onus of
taking insane people and turning them into
People who have jobs is bumming him out. It's very 60s either crazy, right?
So I was doing that play
It was inter intermission
So the second act you have to get naked and I come out at intermission
It was at san francisco state and I walked into the hallway and someone goes they shot John Lennon
It was that time of night in new york when it happened
And I was like you're fucking kidding me. I just went no it was eight by you, right? I went no no
I just said no it didn't happen and then we went back and finished the play and uh
Being the selfish 20 year old actor that I was at the time
Uh, it was a complete blow to the fucking solar plexus, you know that the news
Like because you know, we grew up with him and I leave since I was like five years old
You know, I remember watching them at a cell when my sister and fucking, you know, the Beatles cartoon and the whole enchilada
Uh, I thought oh, I'll use it right on stage
Use how upset, you know, I was like, oh, no, you know, like I wanted to denial
And then now I have to get naked and kill a fucking horse or whatever on stage. So, you know, describe to the youth of america
How
Fucked up people were that week when John Lennon got shot. It was
Quiet and the next day that everyone was in a malaise and I was at the dorms at seven six two thousand college
And of course we'd all grown up with him. So all day long the radio's playing him
Everybody and then the newspaper
The san Francisco chronicle did a complete like whole fucking the front page a whole front section
And then a photo montage, which I remember really liking at the back of all of the different periods
The white suit with the beard and then during watergate
John went to the watergate hearings and he shaved his head
And he was wearing little round fucking shades and that picture's so bitching
He's like at the watergate hearings with fucking shaved head. It's crazy. You don't even have to ask this, but I'm sorry, Joe
This was before internet. This was before cell phones. Yeah, obviously it was on monday night football
But how did it get around like where you guys
Was telling people tell us in the radio, but not everybody's like are people are you guys calling people on house phones?
Like did you hear like because when I was a teenager, that's when the internet started
So like I didn't really have that
Like calling people for that sort of stuff. So how did the news? I mean, I know most of it was tv
But I went out on monday night and I stood
It was one of those I did acid and I went out and nobody else wanted to play
Nobody else wanted to play on a monday night, you know, it was like december or something
And it was the same week. I was my mom had died
I was living with a family that I had grown up with
And I was working and uh like I was doing fine. I was 16 17. I was just about to turn 17
I'm doing fine and I'm working. I got everything together. The school is great. You know, I'm grieving in my own way
That's why I'm grieving because yeah the pain kicked that off like it was like
And I went home and the guy jimmy benda who was great. He's he's up the father and he's like, well, let's watch the game
He doesn't know I'm tripping my bulls. Oh, right and he keeps saying you want to salami sam
And I'm like, I don't know. What do you mean? You're not hungry always
I don't know. He knew I got tuned up
So all of a sudden they just cosel came on
You could find it on youtube. It'd be fucking interesting to listen to cosel came on
And he said this and at the time I was a little jaded with the Beatles like I
I didn't know what to fucking think and then
The next day and I was living in northern new jersey
And I had what was working at a lumber yard and I went to mail
My job every day was when I got there was to take a box of billing or mail and send put it in the post office
I go to mail the letters and a couple letters fall out on the snow and when I go to pick one up, I hit
So I clipped the letter
You can finish the story I clipped the letter
And it's a two credit cards
With checks and I'm a little criminal that I don't know what to do, you know
And I tell my friend I got these checks and he goes go see my brother my brother runs the bank right by the house works
So I met him I gave him the checks. He goes, I don't know if I can make it work
Give me a few days. He called me two days. I told me to meet him at a pizza. He called me the night after this
So this night I went home gave him the checks we met
And he called me the next day and he goes meet me the next night at the pizza place
And I'll give you your money and I remember taking that money and going into Manhattan
On friday like just cotton school with a bunch of guys and being fucking blown away
Like new york city like they were planning the sunday was they were going to do the minute of silence
New york city was all in like he lived in new york city. He walked around this fucking park every day, you know
He was fucking new york city for a while. He was totally fucking soprano
Without a gun this guy walked through central park and nobody bothered the fucking guy with his wife
He got orange juice or something. They said play and it was just new york city was fucking wounded
I mean, it was like a a pre 9 11. It was like a baby 9 11. And then I went over that sunday
Look who it is league
Yes, we have to say it remember this is just a football game. That's when they were boston
Who wins or loses an unspeakable tragedy
Confirmed to us by abc news in new york city john lennon outside of his apartment building on the west side of new york city
The most famous perhaps of all of the Beatles shot twice in the back rushed to rosevelt hospital
dead on arrival
Hard to go back to right there. You weren't shocked. Yeah, you weren't shocked
You were as a kid a 16 year old kid that put me over the fucking top
I was like jesus then I went to school the next day. I'll tell you how raw they were in my high school
There was a portrait of the Beatles in the yeah by the gym
Somebody had already put an x on john lennon. I was like god damn it
Yeah
But it destroyed this country for about 10 days late and it was right before the holidays. So people yeah, it was christmas and
He just had a hit record. Oh, she just had a hit record about what three weeks before three weeks before that
So they kept playing and playing and then they started playing and so this is christmas
Which I break down every year. So is that that's when I know it's over as soon as you hear that song listen
It's over start playing 2016
You know he had a big hit with
Starting over which was on the radio all the time and everybody was he was about to come back
He was doing interviews and talking to people again and he spent about five years hanging around new york
That's it. Nothing. Why are you so emotional joey? Because there was such a piece of my youth that I
There's nothing worse than when you don't think something's gonna affect you in an affection
I was a beetle fan, but not really
But at the time I was going through this shit inside and all of a sudden
This fucking guy dies. Yeah, he just wasn't just some regular fucking mutt. This guy
You grew up on this fucking guy and he was 40
See we you know, you had to figure 30 30 35 to 40 more years of
Music and him and he would have changed. He probably would have written more books and I think become more of a world
You know now there's a position for people like that
He kind of pioneered that and like now there's angelina joe lee's and people who are in show business who
Run around the world and are you know crusaders and activists?
I mean there always was but
He was a particular one because not that many rock stars had really done that
He's like the first rock star that
Said women are equal and there's too much racism and war is bad and just kind of simple elemental things that
They come off as genuine or because now sometimes when I see that I'm like they're just doing that
For the screen time or I don't think he was doing it for the screen time. I think uh
I think he was a real artist and I think that at the end of the day when they finished the Beatles part of the
Reason why he didn't want to deal with them was like he didn't love
What they'd become like a pop machine in his view
I think he was required to make records and he didn't wasn't grooving on that
So when he was able to do his own albums the the difference in content obviously between what he writes when he's in the Beatles
And then when he writes on his own
All of a sudden, you know now he's writing about mother and drugs and
women and you know
Way more heavy primal stuff than the Beatles dealt with shaved fish. Is that the yeah shaved fish?
That's wild, right
He did something else if you want it. Can you play Beatles music or would you yeah?
There's one uh of john munna now. It's called mine games and it's him walking around central park if you want to see the video
We're just him walking around parking park with with the kid right one of the kids here
We played it before and people are like, you know, and he's having a cigarette and he's jumping around and goofing for people
and signing autographs and you're like
This is what he did. He wasn't hiding people always say like
Garbo was reclusive and hid garbo went to the department store and ate lunch every day and shopped
You could see her on the street like there were always pictures of her and lennon didn't hide in new york
rick overton told me the story about me see meeting him in a health food store
Fucking steve pearl madam. Yeah steve pearl said he went up told me go
So let me let me ask you a question one of the monkeys getting back
Not made him laugh. Yeah that made him laugh
One of the monkeys because people would go up to him and say
Every benefit I couldn't fucking imagine him. What are you getting back? Look at him?
Yeah, there is why he's fucking beautiful. They shot it like right near his house
And I've always said like people said it would you ever live in new york, and I go there's only one way
I would move to new york
If I could live like john munna
That's it the dakota
Go downstairs fresh squeezed under his shoes smoke a joint in the park right that's as good as it gets
That's he looks so cool. That's it. Shit and he left the butler at the house a bunch of kids
And that's you know, obviously none of this is staged. He just walked through the park and they filmed in that day and
Well, it's as staged as anything I suppose but listen man. I'm old-fashioned about one thing and I've said it once
I've said a thousand times when new york sneezes
Everybody else catches a call. Yeah, and he was the king of new york
Which meant he was the king of this fucking sabbaths. Look at him
They're just following him. Yeah
Fuck joe nameth
Fuck willis reed. Fuck the nicks. Look at him a white dude without a bodyguard. What?
Yeah, right. There's nobody we'd never do this. Yeah, like he's he's cool
And obviously being amusing for everybody and you know not pushed
Some cheap tricks here. Oh look at that italian ice. Yeah, right the italian ice the old-time stan
Marino's look at that. That's the real deal. Could you imagine if john london made you italian ice?
You would never forget it, right? These kids are probably all like
Remember the time we said john london
Remember the time we were in this video? Yeah, those pretzels. Those are real pollution pretzels right there
So keep on playing those
Was that central park zoo? That's what my wife was talking about today. She's like, where we'll go to central park zoo? I go, that's in there john
It's always good fun
But I love you know, like this this is a pretty
Heady song about you know talking about transporting yourself through space and through time and all that and yet the video is so hilariously here is this
Oh 70
72 73, what is this?
Now there's rumors that he wrote fame for david bowie, right?
And then that certainly sings on it right and then he found out and john's found out about and said what the fuck
You're writing songs for you back out of retirement or something. So give me a couple days and he came back with benny and the jets
Is that a true story? Well, they did whatever gets you through the night. I know that one
And then he made him perform
He said if the song goes to number one you have to come and play with live with me
And john was like, it's not going to number one. Of course, I'll do it and of course it went to number one
So there's a video of them
Doing it live together. Yeah dad was seven to me. I gotta be honest with people
You know, I let you motherfuckers know how this i'm driving mind of my own fucking business
I got serious on you know me. I got the same my wife got serious in the car
And fucking don't let the sun go down. I came up my own job guys had a pillow
Yeah, I had a fucking pillow. I it sucked the fucking energy out of my lungs
You know, I'm really fortunate. Mr. Proops is real fortunate that
We lived in a country at one time without isis, you know, we just had Puerto Ricans
And a couple cute, you know, they're mad at these, you know, people don't remember is that in 1980
125,000 cubans came into the country and 120 of them were drug dealers
Nobody remembers that they didn't give a fuck with the other 5,000 were kids, you know cast your let out 75,000 out of the prisons
Jesus either buck 25. Oh, they have buck 25 on paper. It was about 200,000 half of those people were in prison that came
But you know, but we had this fucking music man. I grew up with this goddamn music
I have that into the sun or don't let the you know, think of being
Driving down your street and in a row. These are the music. This is the music that's out
Benny and the Jets
Don't let the sun go down. Oh, but let's just say Benny and the Jets led Zeppelin had an album
And this is what you heard. I remember when I was a kid on wplj. They used to have beetle stones who day
We just play hooky. Yeah, we just play hooky go to somebody's house plate the radio on
drink and smoke pot
fucking tremendous
Fucking tremendous. I don't even know my point is
but uh
Well, I know sometimes you get really moved by a song
I uh
I agree
I listen to the radio all the time by myself and you find you all of a sudden you're singing along and then you're choked up
And it's not always necessarily a song of the highest order either. It can be cheesy sometimes. Oh, yeah
I think we all reserve the right to cry to it seems like
Crystal now like reality stars like that's what's replaced
like
Going crazy when someone's coming to town or buying all their books or all that stuff
I don't think it's music anymore. Well, it's not rock bands now
I think I think it's like the reality youtube stars like those people
Or like you see the line like there was a picture
You know those twitter accounts like history and pictures. I saw one of the what was that Beatles movie?
Hard days now. Yeah hard days night the premiere of it. It was just movie. Yeah, okay
It was just crazy like the premiere of hard days night
And you see all the only place I ever see that now is sporting events

I went over with this kid named Mike Denny the devil. He had an rx7. I'll never forget this fucking kid
That was part of the thing I had to pay for the toll because it was a two-seater
So I went and got everybody tickets like three guys four guys tickets. I came back

Of course, we were on the grass. That's where you wanted to be. You know, they put the stage in the outfield
and uh
I remember a big fat biker chick dropped her acid on me
And I was pretty high and I was just laying there and something fluttered down onto my jeans
And this giant woman came running over and I was fucking high and she went
like that
And grabbed it right off my crotch and I was like, what's happening? And then she went thanks. I dropped my acid
My first big one was you have to go in the well, you could do drugs outside in those days in the 70s
You could fucking do anything. No in those days at those concerts
It's in front of no one care. You ripped a joint out. That's it. That's it. Take out the sheets of acid and she asked it

CNN had an interesting show
And they covered the 70s 80s 90s tom hanks produced it like one night
I got back from a comedy show and it's 12 o'clock at night
It's on
And they talked about the early 70 music scene of what happened in this country and this is a fact in 1973
The united states spent two billion dollars on ticket music sales
And if you see who's are if you press stevie wonder you got to see who's on the court

You know forget ped 73 in this country
Kiss was maybe around the corner. I saw kiss. I saw kiss the night elvis died
At the cow palace in san francisco. Where was the elvis? No, I didn't I wished I had you know who I saw
chuck berry and bow diddly
and uh
Both of them were outstanding. Chuck Berry was a daytime gig and he wasn't the headliner
I can't even remember who the headliner was. He wore a white
kiana shirt and purple slacks
And uh, and it's you know, like loafers with tassels, right chuck and he was how old then this was 76. So he was
45
He's about what 85 now something 90
and uh
Fantastic, there's a lot of pretty girls here, you know
And then we're gonna do some oldies. We're gonna do some golden oldies
We're gonna do some moldy oldies and then he made the crowd split up and we sang my ding a ling
I don't know if you remember that fucking chuck berry sing a long song
And you know how they always talk about him not having a band like it was just guys like chuck berry toured for 125 years
He did not have a band that he toured with yeah
I watched the documentary on he just would travel with just a guitar
So it was for like college guys on stage, right?
And he walked on and plugged in and his big
To show that we were starting was this
That meant go and he didn't know what song but everybody knows everybody's chuck berry song, right?
Because he's got you know, so he just fucking burn
So he does all these songs. He does my ding a ling and then and this is the part. I'll never forget
It was boiling hot was my 16th birthday at stanford university
he sat on the amp
And just sat and played and everyone came on stage for like half an hour
And that's how the show closed then everyone fucked off and he got up and that was it and he walked off
But he sat on the amp like this and just fucking
And I thought this is the greatest thing, you know, like is this what a 50s rock shows like everybody got on stage and he's just fucking
And that was it like he didn't do a big, you know
Like go light show. Yeah, man. Everybody come up here and let's do this
it was really and when I saw both diddly it was at a club in Berlin called the hall 78 and
It was called the hall because it was really dinky and he was at the end and we came in the back
We snuck in we're underage, you know fucking drinking and doing drugs and so
We go, oh my god, it's both diddly right and with lady bow who just died like two months ago who was in the act
And he had a lady
Fucking guitar player in his band who sang with him too and bro. Diddly had a square guitar, right?
And he wore cowboy hot and shades and
And his music. Oh, you know, bow diddly, right? Maybe
Down to down to down to get down down down to down to down. That's bow. Diddly bow. Diddly bow down to go
Give a little baby a little Sunday cool
But when he played live it was
Real like a real fucking freaky and at the end of the show
Everybody bowing including the whole crowd for like the last 30 minutes everybody just insanity and I thought this is a great
Never mind seeing people in a in a football stadium seeing bow diddly with like 150 people
And uh, he was you know, not at the top of his career. He's probably doing a gig for a thousand bucks
You know what I mean? This is 1978 79
It was like and he still went out there and fucked you up
It was I'll never forget it. And then we went up to him after met him and he couldn't have cared loss and uh
Was dialoguing the fattest girl
and
So it was a perfect night, you know what I mean? Like we got fronted by him because he come on. I'm trying to you know
Fellas
Right
And I think I said mr. Diddly
Because I was a fucking idiot and I would excuse me. Mr. Diddly and he like went. Yeah. Yeah
And like, you know, I gotta ask you something for me
You've seen all these bands
Do you think it's helped your comedy?
Absolutely, don't you joe don't you think that like it's the live experience
The the excitement the thrill of it the showmanship the moment the moment
That what I like most about the rock and roll shows wasn't
Rockets or pageantry or lasers
It was if they were really fucking into it if the band was into it and you loved the band and you were on the right drugs and
that
That excited like you were saying the passion the passion to be the guy in the front row in the home made sure it's fucking losing their
Shit. Oh my god
I remember seeing queen and a dude when they played the
Boy me and Ralph city when they got to the solo the guy next to us broke loose
You know, we're at the Oakland
You know indoor place and it was that it was that tour they opened with
Right like they opened with and the spotlight hit freddy. He's on the top of the staircase and he buddy
You're a boy make a big noise, right and and then they closed with it too
They actually did it again at the end
But they did bohemian rap city for their big encore and when it got to the solo the dude next to his fucking
like just
Just lost
And my cousin and I became hysterical because he'd obviously waited, you know, this was it baby
This was like you said you next day at the school. You're like
Fucking queen and no one said shredded in those days queen smoked
Smoked it
You went to school your eyes were still red like before and tripping still and still tripping and fucking people do
So like that's what that's what I wanted to know when I asked early like when that guy comes out
And they started playing like the top song right then like what is going through your brain?
Like are you even listening? Are you just so excited? They're just screaming
Listen when you go to a show like that I went to a show. I had a list in my mind that we're gonna do
You know, I had a list in my mind
The what music they were going to do and in my drug induced
Fucking world
They were doing it for me. Yeah, it's like when you see that movie with
Mikey Wolberg and he he replaces the band. Yeah, I'm sorry. I pulls him aside. He says listen
I don't even know if it's that movie something about
It's not about the girls getting off on you. It's the guys are getting off on you
You know in a way a guy sucks you went you like they're playing that for me. I need this fucking song
To make it till next week
And when they played that song really you lose your fucking mind
You know, I mean I would lose it did make you want to be a performer that didn't I mean watching rock stars was
What I'm gonna tell you what's crazy. You saw how retarded I was in that video. That was Joe Diaz
In 1983 I went to see somebody who changed my life and I like him
You want me to lie to you? I like three or four of his songs. I thought he was very overrated
And a chick and his name was Frank Sinatra. My friends had a I'm from fucking Jersey. I was gonna say
So last thing I'm gonna hear is Bruce Springsteen. Okay. Don't every party you go to the board on the u.s
Say you gotta fucking say no enough. Don't you have any deep purple anything?
You know anything I wasn't anything, you know, so I grew up with hobok and italian people
The people who moved to north bergen were the people who made it out of north out of hobok
italian
I made it with I'm sorry. I kicked the camera right out of work. I made it
I grew up with people in north bergen that
Had grown up, you know to move to north bergen, but they were originally from hobok, right
So when you went to the house, what did you fucking hear? It's not you know when you talk about dinner
They talked about where you were you kids going to see today?
Uh, uh the eagles. Oh, I remember when I went to see Sinatra three dollars
Yeah, you know like you hit your parents up for money like my friends would go sit here
So they know we're gonna go to concert money 10 bucks 10 bucks. Who are you going to see Elvis?
No, we're going to see Nazareth
I I have to pay two dollars and 50 cents to see Sinatra
In a hoboken fucking dance hall, you know jimmy roselli the stories were just right
So I didn't fucking you know
I was into heavy metal and black music and all this shit and all some of my friends like let's go see Sinatra
And you got to dress up that really pissed me off like that whole thing ain't gonna put a tie on
Well, bro, let me tell you something
He did something that I never saw anybody did
With the wig didn't know the fucking lyrics to songs at the end had a a projector telling them the words
He had something that I can't I can't even fucking describe
He had this control
Coolest shit didn't give a fuck what the fuck you were thinking
I'll give a fuck what you're thinking it's eight o'clock, right the show's supposed to start
But I'm on my second scotch. Yeah, then he four of them. So sit tight
And he come out there like this fucking thing and people I didn't lose it
But when I saw him I lost it a little bit. I was like, look at this motherfucker. Oh, fuck
Look at this fucking old fuck. Who's he think he is just and then he just sucks you in
Lee next thing, you know, he's just looking at him like
Why'd they say don't and he's doing these songs that fucking got nothing to do with you
They got nothing to do with you love and birds and shit the lyrics were terrible
I mean you look at Sinatra's discography. It's got 3 000 fucking alms, right? Oh, yeah, you made a million records
Part of his part of his mania is that he made a million records. Yeah, you know, and these songs are about
We have for lunch today money. Go let's do the song about money go money go
He sang about chicago la was his lady new york new york all he needed was a fucking city
So some of that
But when I saw him
It changed me and for a couple years on stage. I try to do that shit
Control him a little too much and turn and not say nothing and I was trying to do Sinatra
I was trying to fuck with them
Sinatra was the one that really showed me
That there was something behind this thing now. I started going to see people that I wouldn't go see after Sinatra
I went to seaside day
At a small place and she took me even deeper than Sinatra
Deeper. Is it a crime?
Deep. She just took me Lee this black chick and a fucking thing. We paid 35 for the tickets
You had to have three drinks
She just killed it
So I learned that little thing. It's really interesting. You were saying that about chuck berry. That's what reminded me about this because
Listen, I grew up in the Palladium, which is san francisco's film ward. Yeah, maybe 900 seats
Right every seat is a good one. The place is crazy. If you ever saw a show on one of those places
I saw acdc
And I think that's leopard right for them
August 4th 1980 August 1st 1980 after the singer died. I was gonna say that's the new singer
But I saw the year before right with bonds got opening for ted
Weekend worries. I mean ted was huge. He's this fucking acdc opening up for ted
That's the first time I saw what music mania was in new york
You know
Taking the bus over the city and as soon as you got to port authority everybody was talking about acdc people like ghetto blasters
Playing highway the hell and you're like, holy shit
Like I just entered an acdc song and the closer you get to the garden people telling you tickets
Right, they said that you know, you're like by the time you get there leave you're so fucking excited
And people walking by going hash acid. Yeah
I got loose joints like a single choice big fat ones take a look at the show. Oh my god
It's a different world and not very corporate surprisingly
Even though it was our corporate world
There wasn't the amount of swag and merch and there was no such thing as video or you know, like maybe if the band was high
Price they had video on stage, but most bands didn't still do that then
You know, like it was a whole another bag
Even prince and purple ran. I remember there wasn't a video on stage
He had special effects and the you know a dick that shot glitter and all that crap
Or what was it a guitar that shot water and you know
But it wasn't that
It wasn't way more about you know, like you say the cult of doing that thing on the night
Well, even if you watch the sort of man is the same
It's about a vh1 every two weeks and I always watch two or three songs if you watch that
That video
They don't uh, there's nothing
It's them playing. They didn't even have a backdrop. There's some fucking smoke from time to time. That's it says a laser beam
Yeah, but that's it. You know later on I went to see productions that were huge
with fucking castles
I think you can learn a lot from
The old-time performers like you're saying like Sinatra. My father was uh
uh, and my mother
I was gonna say something so stupid. I'm gonna say it anyway. We're much older than me and uh, the as they would be
Yeah, remember when you were little your parents were 10 12 years older than you and they went to school with them
The uh, they took me to see when I was a little kid. Ella Fitzgerald with Count Basie
um, Hattie page and the mills brothers, uh
Pearl Bailey and the stepbrothers
um
Jimmy Duranty when I was really little
Died right after that. Yeah, uh, and that show there had showgirls showgirls on stage and uh
A guy did a cake walk
With the top hand tails right around the stage or surround stage in st. Carlos, california
A circle star theater. So you sat and then the stages start moving
The stage moved that was you know for and for not to play there a bunch of times everybody played there
Uh, so I saw all those old-fashioned acts when I was a kid and um
And it was fantastic, you know
Because they are laid back, but they're always like you say in control like Ella Fitzgerald didn't sell it
But when she started singing it was electric, you know what I mean in between she'd be like, well, here's the song, you know
And then I want to think the band and then
Boom she and I swear to god, joey
She did uh
samford and sun
Like but not lyrics like uh eddie davis the sax player got up with her and she went
It was different
Didn't that happen in comedy soon like people getting a little bit like it's already happening with live podcasts
Play Tony Bennett will answer that when I get back. Let me go take a little take on blow by those you play Tony Bennett
We'll wrap this up. All right. Yeah, I'm ready to wrap
Now what's happening, uh, we play this song every monday. It's just Tony Bennett
To pick up the pieces
He's still around. Oh, yeah, baby. I never saw Tony
You never what I never saw Tony Bennett. No me either. I saw Ella a couple times
I never saw Sonata
Saw rickles in the 70s. I went to him. Is he still playing?
Rickles was so fucking funny and jerry vail open for him was a all-time
crooner like
Like this thing I think you as a singer jerry vail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and don Rickles made fun of him, which was hilarious
That's pretty I wonder why more people don't do that. Like it would be kind of nice to have like a full show
Instead of like
Because sometimes the feature isn't great. Sometimes they are sometimes the feature is good
But it would be kind of cool if like you liked a band and they wanted to do two songs. Yep
Oh, I always like shows. I haven't done them in a long time because now the podcast revolution and all that but
Years ago I used to play at Largo and I always had music John Brian or Grant Lee Phillips or
Collin Hay or
Uh
Fiona apple come down and do a couple numbers and it just makes the show so awesome comedy interviews and then a couple numbers and
Yeah, it's a really groovy atmosphere
And I think people really like it. I think people
Pine for the interaction in the live performing they want to
They want to connect that's why people go. Oh, yeah, and and I wanted to tell it to Joey too, but
for you with the podcast
The way that people were so excited to see black Sabbath when they come out to see you and Joey now
Yeah, they're just as excited. Like I see them and
I'm a fan too and I see some people like that. I'm just as excited. So it's pretty no, I think it's uh, it's evolved, you know, everything is uh
Sorry about that. You guys got me emotional. I know somebody those got clogged up. No, sorry back bitches
Sorry about that. Your bad mother fuck is there
No, they do apologize. You're a beautiful man and I'm gonna make juice out of you later
I love let me get some shout outs here
Groovy bob. I gotta remember that. I'm about to shout out to my northern emeralds. They showed up on a fucking box
With the best reefer in the world here. We smoked and joined it before the show. I really well
I love that stuff. I'm drawing the rest of it to save. I'm putting in my fallout shelter
Perfect, you know, I got my man Alec Moscow aid from sack
Water box. I forgot to shout him out this morning. John Harris, Jonathan Hernandez
Lewis Duran
Um, Henry salari with a fuck all you gotta come to class cash ruling my world
And my main man one by one podcast
Fucking the new
He's the dude who made the cover for the great cover. Yeah, he did a good job with it, man
Uh, I brought y'all because we're both releasing cds this way. Yeah, let's tell me about your cd. Joe. Where'd you do it?
I taped it in washington dc cds specials. Anyway, my cds. It's not my fucking fourth day
Uh, I wanted you to talk about the process. You know, i'm a mutt. You're the real deal
How long did it take you?
To figure this whole cd. Uh, you know, I'd been playing a lot and uh, and I'd been at a club act that I hadn't put down
You know what I mean? Like it was new enough that I hadn't put it down on an album
So I had a couple new things I working on that they were in there and then there's stuff that I've been doing
off and on uh
And finally
Sorted it out, you know and put it and then the last couple things I rift because
The giants had won the world series three times in a row last year when I did the album
And it were three times in five years. So it was the third time around
So I the last couple cuts or the last cut is me doing the giants manager
Which I improvised every night for like four or five nights and then I made them pick the best one and put it
We didn't edit it too much. Where'd you tape it at the punch line in San Francisco? So I'm doing Bruce butchie going
Well, you know
Angel Pagani going to give him a chance to get out there and so he made a
He made a chicken tetra zini the other day that really surprised a lot of us
We didn't expect that kind of flavor out of the center fielder. I don't know when you know, you want to get uh
You want to get uh
Angel a couple chances at the dish up there and uh
Hunter pants made a kale shake that I think energized a lot of the guys in the club
It was just nonsense, you know, and and I do Tony Bennett singing god bless America because he sang it at the park
And he fucked up the words when he sang it and I was like he's 80 something give a guy a break
So I do Tony Bennett singing the anthem and shit is a punch line your favorite club in the country
Yeah, one of them. I mean, I mean it's my home club and I'm from San Francisco
So yeah, like I love going back there and it was the only place I wanted to make the record and also
You know that I can get away with murder there and uh, that's what makes it good and um
You know, especially like
It was it was the end of the year last year and the beginning of this year
Uh, the Giants had just won the world series in october. So
To talk about the three world series in front of that crowd in san francisco where they don't they're not disinterested
I didn't do it in
Chicago or right, right, right in san francisco talking about the team that we waited 50 years for and then we got three
And so like that part was really fun. It's not all they think of that cocksucker
Three world series. He's over there throwing spears at lilies. Oh, they go. That's fair
I'm a red sauce. He's a red sauce. So you have three world series. We have a bunch of world series
You have three
And then before that it's 1918. Let's not get crazy
So that three and how many years?
2004 2008 2012 13. Yeah, something like that. It only sucked the past two years
It happens and then last year they sucked last year, but that's you know, that it does you guys in cycles
I saw something really the Giants fans and socks fans can't fucking whine anymore
We could for a long time right, but then when you win a couple it's like shut up. Shut up. Shut up
Yeah, then you're a Yankees fan. We didn't win this year. Really? Fuck you
Something really interesting I saw and I called me immediately was the the design they have at the airport
They have the Super Bowl thing. Uh-huh every year and they have the scores
And they have the picture of the MVP of the game, you know, whoever it is
Roger Craig stepping high against Miami, whatever
And I was telling Lee I called me. Oh, this is really interesting that if you look at the Super Bowls
The teams linger for three years. So the first year they'll lose
Then they'll win one and they'll lose one right then they'll come back three years later and win two
Yeah, it's really interesting what I saw from the beginning all the way the first three bought them all my hand means somebody
Yeah, so it's it's like a team has three years to really figure it out
Then they move on so the team has a good quarterback. They can pretty much stick around for a few years
Well, Montana had how many four
How many does and Bradshaw had what four four and what about your buddy?
Brady, I think he's got five isn't he five now. No, no, wait. No, no, I think it's four now. Yeah
But he's been in like six or seven. Yeah, he's been in six. He will be lost to the Giants
Yeah, god damn it. Well, the biggest paid days of my gambling career
I quit high school and I decided to go back
I was fucking broke
It was the holidays and the Dallas Cowboys
San Francisco kept winning and they lost against somebody
But I kept betting them and I can they kept covering that year 82. They kept covering
and I remember that uh
There was a guy I didn't like too much
He didn't like me that he was a Dallas Cowboy for it and we were at a bar and I was fucking lit
And I'm telling them I go listen what you mean to tell me is Dallas is giving a point and I have
And they're gonna come into the candlestick and tell Joe Montana's story, right?
It's not gonna happen. He's kept telling me. I didn't know dick. I didn't know dick
Put my money where my mouth was and I'm like, you know, why would I bet we don't know that?
I'm just telling you that you're in no danger
Montana's gonna chop those motherfuckers out
I was a little criminal in so Sunday came and I put a bet and I bet the over
And the night is I'll never forget where my friend in basements just him and I we both bet the fucking night is
And when he drew that touchdown on the clock
Oh, that was the game like that game. I want 800 dollars. I still remember. I was a senior in high school
I was at my sister's house in phoenix
I went 800
Can you fucking believe that?
Sanford and then they played
Any bangles right they played the bangles and beat them and beat them. I had that at the end of the game
Goal line stands fucking tremendously. How good how good since he came back and scored again
And they still beat him
There was a stand where they had like four plays from what within the five and on third and like goal third and three
Dan buns. He was a reserve fucking linebacker. They put him in and he came across the screen
And nailed a fucking since he running back not icky, but the other one right at the fucking goal line and button said
I looked down where his arm was and
Just fucking yard, you know
And that was it
Then they they they were they were forced to fucking they didn't score
They did not score
They had to try for a fucking touchdown and they didn't make it on fourth and that was the end
They scored again that it was the end of that and that was a good team with sincey. That was kenny anderson
Yeah, kenny anderson chris collins. They hadn't been to the Super Bowl either. I don't think
I love that Super Bowl. We didn't have uh, uh, uh, jerry rice done or anything. We had crappy running backs. We had url cooper
Uh, no, yeah, Ronnie lot though out there hitting motherfuckers red. Oh, dude. We had the fucking best
Carl Williamson, Ronnie got
Dwight hicks and uh, I can't remember who the fucking fourth back in the hacks our Reynolds red dean
The defense was nasty there
And we didn't win the first six games
We were like three and three and then we caught fire
Lee I don't even forget they played that they had a special edition sunday
Dallas was tough too. Dallas was tough at starbucks still straw back
But I'll tell you I saw a sunday night game with an alanda farrison
The alanda falcons played fucking san franc on a special edition sunday night. Yeah, uh before yes, right? This is mbc
And they had to run him back the alanda falcons then forget his fucking name
But that secondary was beating up on that Dwight hicks kid
That kid would hit you to fucking kill your mother like your mother would rattle in the chair at home
And that's the that's the legend against the net. Uh, the jets didn't he get his finger cut off the other finger
Can you imagine that tell him tell him he got the end of it tip of his finger crushed and the the you know, the medical guy says look
You know, we gotta
We got to wrap this and take you to the hospital and he's like i'm not coming out of the game and the guy's like
Well, if you leave it in I have to cut it and he's like cut it
So he's missing
Some of the end of his uh, you're back to that shit. Lee. That's when you know, you love some Ronnie lot as a legendary
And so let's go. I mean as much as a joe, of course and and uh jerry
But Ronnie lot is as beloved I think by the Niners fans because he was on every one of those teams
Ann was you know by the end
He was a rookie like that year and I think again since he might have been second year
were the other three guys were rookies but uh
By the end he was the veteran and then it was his way the highway like you know, you don't come on to this team unless you're
Going to play at my
level
Late in the career, uh, jerry rice. We got this receiver from us seen him jj stokes
Who had all kinds of talent, but he wouldn't press
And I I remember a story of jerry rice said come and train with me and stokes won't now i'm all right man
And you're like no you see jerry rice asked you
You come over come over come over early and bring oranges
You know what I mean?
Because jerry rice used to like run up a mountain that was where he lived
That was what he did every morning, right? I'm like seven miles, you know
And then back down because jerry rice was
And jj stokes just couldn't be fucking bothered. No, you know, I'm like a big deal and and I always thought you pussy
When someone when frank sinatra says come over I want to work on some shit
You don't go like
I don't know. No, I don't want to go down there traffic
It's a tough ride to Santa Monica right now. You know that time of day golly jerry. I don't uh
Well, that's so nice that you want a bunch of money on them
What I remember about the niners is they never covered the spread once they got good after that super wall
They had a fucking way it was all over. Oh, but that year they kept covering. Yeah, they did and you wouldn't bet them
You were like they're fluke 13 games in a 10 games in a row 10 games
Then they lost a lot of games in those days. They couldn't be fucking new olines
Yeah, they couldn't be new olines new olines were oh and nine
They would beat the fucking niners in San Francisco beat them up throw them around bit slap them somebody broken on
It was fucking outrageous. They had that number. Yeah, it used to drive me fucking crazy
But they that first season they kept covering and nobody else bet. I mean I caught on
I caught on like game seven is what they beat the jets and and the
And the Steelers in the middle of the year and they really handed it to the Steelers and the Steelers were awesome, then and it was like, oh
You know the amount maybe I'm confusing with me. I want to say it was that year
Do you think the did you over here by Montana drug rumors?
Oh, yeah, the whole team. Well, it was the 80s in San Francisco, man. It was but Fred Dean left
San Diego because at those days he called them a bunch of free basin motherfuckers, which they had the league covered with drug
There's well-known stories. I mean all their players went out to write books. Chuck Munze
They went to write books how they had a liaison in San Diego that just handled all their drug
Was a good back. Yeah, until he dropped the fucking ball when you bet him
He was a good back to your bed
Then he fumbled on the two and you'd lose your goddamn fucking mind with chuck munze. How old is that anger?
There was a must have been a game like the early 80s. This is the early 80s. Okay. Listen. Listen. There's something about uncle
Joey
Uncle Joey gotta be copping you guys. Okay. So when'd your record come out?
Let me there's something I gotta cop. All right. Uncle Joey plays fair. He's a great guy. I pay you when I lose. Let me tell you something
There's I don't mind losing but there's they used to kill me to pay a bookie on Thursday. There's somebody fumbled
That's why I stopped betting football
Because I would not sleep
Even as a kid me and my buddy whitey and checking me brine would bet like you know the Knicks
And then they put Phil Jackson. You have no idea what it is to grow up with Phil Jackson on your team
He was a fucking lot when I was growing up. He had the needle shoulders. Yeah, and when they put him in with two minutes left
Let me tell you something. My mom didn't run that house correctly. I would have thrown that tv out the fucking window
Five dollars was a lot of fucking money in the eighth grade
I hate it losing
That's why I couldn't get out of that. You can't be a gambler. That cannot be again gamblers. Don't care whether they were
No, no, no, no, no, I can't just want to gamble. Yeah, they just want no, no, no, no, no
Especially when I gotta go to work. Listen, I'm selling ounces of coke. I could spare the loose 300, you know one game
You come and go you got to give money back to the universe
But when I got to get up from eight to four and drill nails and cover cover sheet rock to fucking control my gambling without here
Without lunch money. No, that's not that's not my world. That's what stopped me from gambling really
I just I just got an email about a week ago. Some guy only can't stop gambling
I'm like that that's the end once you start tapping your fucking cards and shit
I didn't even have cards that if I lost I had to do fucking kinky shit
Whenever I lost money, I always had to do something fucking I didn't want to do
Do you ever try to go to like a casino and want a bunch of money had poker or blackjack? Fuck no
Fuck no. I'm scared. I don't know how to play none of that stuff
I don't have the patience to sit there
I thought that vegas was running a charity when I was a kid when you're 18
And you hear people when I want 800 last right let me give you the shot
And you don't want it's like life it lets you when it's like doing blow it first you get hard on
Everybody wants to hang out with you. You're a fucking king of swing. Give it two years
And that's how gambling that sucks you in next thing, you know, you're fucking sucked in and listen
The biggest worst beating I got was 800 that I didn't pay the guy
But my roommate at the time we were 18 he took a bath for 60,000. Oh, no, he had a technique to kill him
No, he had to get two jobs and his dad had assigned for a loan. Oh my god, this kid got so
He never watched football again. Like never watch sports again. Never ever ever
He's on facebook. He won't friend me very
You know, it was that fucking deep. He had two jobs and I saw that and I'm like, I don't want to and I'll tell you
It was a degenerate gamma my mother. Yeah baseball
Really the Yankees are the fucking red socks and the Mets
She you know fortune
Degenerate and you know what women are the worst gammas once they get into look what's going on in Connecticut with all these casinos
60 minutes did this thing about how women are getting hooked on the colors
It's not just numbers no more it's becoming because they they 3d the games everything's visual butterflies and shit
And that's what they're doing it for. Oh my god, it's terrible
Gambling's a very honest vision. My father was a degenerate horsepower degenerate degenerate my mother too
That was her game horses and they would do the three o'clock
And then you lose and then my mom would catch herself in Roosevelt. You know, Roosevelt racetrack
It's like a normal way up there and uh
What the fuck part of new york is that we're married j. Blige is from and fucking uh the kid in the kmart
Roosevelt
Yeah, rose a yonkers yonkers all the way all the way out in yonkers because it's a long trip
And my mom would get out of the last race. It's like fucking hollywood park. You ever go to hollywood parkly
I made a mistake. I went to hollywood park. I went to the casino once
No, no on fridays when I first got here with dollars. It was dollar fridays
Dollar be a dollar hot dog dollar admission. I thought I could go down there one friday
I was I was scared to take money out of my pocket. That's yonkers
Metal and you you gamble comfortably ain't nobody gonna rob you they got cameras and we're gonna fucking yonkers and win 800
You gotta
I was an idiot and went to the actual casino one night because that's right where paul lived
And I went there to the played like a minute of blackjack and this guy tried to sneak in on my bed
Like because they have like they have like side bets at those
Because it's weird to play blackjack in california. They have a bunch of side bets in
Someone has to pay the casino to do it. There's a bank. It's really weird
But there's like side bet that you'll hit like payers
So this like dude was just putting money on my thing
And I was like, okay
And I said no, but then he kept doing it
But then I split and doubled
Lost one and one one and he was trying to take from the winning one. And I was like, no, dude, we lost yours
And he was like getting all upset and I was like, oh
I probably shouldn't be the
Scary because you know I left. Yeah, this is not a good place for me to be that stuff
I think if you're gonna gamble you have to feel comfortable. Oh, no, if you lose the money and you don't have the money
No, that's what that was. Yeah. No, I spent a lifetime of that nonsense
It's not my not my sport gambling
And I think about it on sundays when I talk to lee and I think about it and just fucking around I lose
Just talking only about bets I lose unless we talk about listen, it doesn't take a genius to bet in the wing
He averages four touchdowns a game
You're all waiting on if whether the defense or the other team shows up
He's gonna get his four touchdowns. He's 28 points are coming from that fucking lunatic
Yeah, he's pretty good. So, you know, I just I have friends that gamble or not. It's just
You're always chasing it. It's just but it's like anything else. It's just like drugs. It's a fucking distraction
It really is a fucking man. I saw it kill my mother
I saw it destroy that and then
With gambling comes drinking
If you're gonna gamble you might as well have a fucking cocktail, you know, the casino all day
Yeah, you know, so it's just uh, I've never been I've never been a big game. You know, my wife bought
She asked me what I wanted for christmas. I said I said by battleship. I like battleship growing up
I still haven't sat down with the watch battleship. Who has fucking time for an hour to
I never understood people could sit there and say I played poker for 15 hours. Yeah, unless you're gonna win 15,000
But they don't it's nice never about that gambling is all about action
People who gamble want to be inaction to gamble the next day. That's more important than winning losing when you have a big hit
It's fun and everybody has a good time and you go to dinner and then then there's the weeks that there's no fucking food
And the car keeps getting sold and
You know
And all that jazz listen 20 years of my drug addiction was the action
Going into dark places. I love I love and I could buy drugs from white people. I'm not fucked that
I'm going I remember I was in Beaumont, Texas
And my boy Slade's brother took me into kkkville by blow
I mean right now on the other side of Beaumont, there's a town and they're fucking hate everybody
And he took me in there like a four in a month to buy blow and I was like, jeez that guns and I was gonna say
Fucking crazy this man
And I loved half of my whole rush was putting the $50 together
If I think about it now that was part of the fucking thing the cocaine was the least of my worries
It was fucking putting the whole deal together borrowing the 30
That's the the whole thrill. Yeah
great poops always a fucking pleasure to have you on I uh
Found that you were releasing this and uh, I know how hard the work is
I was just looking at lee thinking about how we shot
a special in vegas and then I taped my cd and
DC
And I didn't use the same bits, you know, sometimes people shoot a special issue
I use two different bits on the special right on the cd just to make it interesting just the
and uh
It's a lot of fucking work. It's a lot of pressure, man
Well, you want to do it right, you know
It's just I always liked that rustic sound I grew up on
I don't like to really polish
cd sound like I bought uh
On a trip one time. I bought uh, the kid who died freddy prince live in chicago. It was god awful
But the sound is just how I like it fantastic. Yeah, I love you. I could hear a dish
I was gonna say I want to hear glasses. I want to hear glasses. I want to hear an ashtray
I want to hear an ash in a fucking ashtray. That's how deep I go
You know, when I look at really good comedy specials
I think I liked what you did. I've always admired what you did just because it was outside the box
Yeah, you know, so it's great. Yeah, it's outside the fucking box
But I always liked the early specials. I like the
I like the carlin transition black and white
Five or six years after that. I like the lennie bruce black and white made my fucking dick hard bob newhart black and white
The richer prior at the improv with the menu behind this right, right?
I like that snack
Those commie central ones with the curtains and the theater, you know, not to take nothing away. No, I don't like them
I don't like them. I I'd rather cut on the money and do a smaller room more intimate where my
Cross
And dc was perfect. Yeah dc improv. Yeah, I love that dc improv is a great little quaint
There's a little beam in the middle, but besides that who gives a fuck, you know, everybody sees everybody
I thought it would be a challenge because they're a little in the politically correct side
So that's why I did the whole thing it worked out. So i'm putting it out and then awesome
At least I can kiss this material. Goodbye. What's the name of this record?
Savage dad savage debt
Savage dad savage dad. Yes, it's me walking mercy the day cam. Wow a gun in my back
You don't see my our faces just
The gun tucked into my jeans, you know, because that's
That's my biggest fear is uh the future with your children walking around
So you have to have a gun on you and the baby carries now, you know what i'm saying, sir
Our first picture was just to get like a baby a baby bag diapers and then have a gun in there
But I wanted it to suck you in a little bit. I like all this. I appreciate this
So thank you for bringing the album, but thank you more for what you did
This to me is a lost art
Even if I fucking put the arm on this you whacking off
You know what i'm saying? Just
Hold on come back in 10 minutes. I'll whack off back in 10 minutes. This is what makes my dick hard
I like when somebody goes, you know what? I want to do something outside the norm
You know the big word now when you go to meetings is branding. Yeah. Oh my god
We need to brand your
Certain stagano style. I dress like an electrician
But you you know what i'm saying? I'm dressed like a union electrician, but
Anybody could really shit. It's this stuff that I love. I didn't think you said wine. I was like, what's he talking about?
I thought he was going iTunes
But this is the genius now i'm gonna have to do it
You're gonna say fucking joey copied me that cock suck no
Everybody puts out albums and there's a coupon in there. You can download it too. So or lee can if he's
Board beyond measure. Yeah, this is all definitely downloaded
No, it's what makes me fucking happy about comedy that there's still some people who
Brought their childhood
Well, there's a lot of people doing like vinyl just came back and then I don't know if you saw the last health park
They did a whole thing about how amazing newspapers were
And how we just like shit on them like they're just news and there's not ads
And it's just there. I could just read it and you know, this is all this stuff is happening
Do you see that? Do you see that they're doing this season of self park is
basically
It's it's amazing. It's like all the stuff you're talking about and like in the cd
And all and like all that stuff. So you know my biggest thing to do from the age of 12 was
To 25 whenever I was in new york, what I would just look at one ads
Yeah, that's that's what makes my dick art
Anytime I go to a town
Even when I was just starting comedy and features somewhere I get the local newspaper and look at the one ads just in case
Because you never fucking know you never know it was I am like
I meet somebody I want to relocate up here. This could be a dishwasher. I was addicted to one ads
In high school, right? You know, I wanted to see what they were looking for. So when I went into mr
Lungano's fucking counselor, I'd say hey, what we talking about poetry. They're looking for fucking truckloaders over there in brookley
You know, whatever the fuck I always was addicted to that. So I get it, you know
When I was growing up somebody told me that if you read the wall street journal for four years
It gave you more of an education than a college education
That's probably true. I really believed that till this day and I
Just the whole wall street journal every day. Yep. That's a big fucking read and the sunday one has a huge art section
Like it's better than the new york times and even though it's a murdoch paper. They have very good writers about
Sometimes when I'm on the road, it'll be given out of the hotel or whatever and you think
I'm gonna fucking read one and then you get into it and go it's not all stocks and bonds
There's a whole another thing. All right. There's a whole they cover everything they cover movies. They cover, you know
this and that and it's like
And all of a sudden you start reading about things you wouldn't have read about or things that you led to and that's what I think
I don't know. I think that's what our job is to you know
Spodcasters and the book is to curate things for people the books full of records and movies and shit. I like
I uh, I think you have to turn people on to it. You know, I'm a big reader
I think that uh
Reading can't stop me. Thank you reading helps my writing. Yeah
