The church of what's happening now, bitches, August 15th, 2016, crank that muley.
Yeah, you're always fucking up.
Hit it, Lee.
Crank it, crank it, Lee.
Sound of a funky drummer.
Brother and sister.
Hey.
While the black man's sweating.
Rolling.
We gotta fight the powers that be.
Fight the power.
Fight the power.
Fight the power.
What?
Fight that fucking power.
It's Monday.
Let's do this shit.
The most sample drummer in the history of time.
I saw this guy live, like last year, dude, up front, up close and personal.
It was insane, dude.
Kick it, Lee.
Kick this mule, Lee.
Kick this mule.
Clyde Stubblefield.
Kick this mule, Lee.
Oh, shit.
What's happened, you bad motherfuckers?
Lee, that's a terrible DJ until now.
You told me to just do that from now on.
No, you gotta cut it down low.
You gotta, you know, like the music and set it into the fucking thing.
You can't do it if you're blind.
I'm sorry, you told me to do it faster now.
You shut me up, I gotta pay the fucking rent, you know what I'm saying?
My favorite verse is coming up.
Like a fucking Julan Lord and shit, you know what I'm saying?
Elvis.
It's Monday, August 15th, we're here.
We got a fucking beautiful music show tonight.
First of all, we got Lisa Yat.
We got my man, Dean Delray, and the man is Steele.
Rain and Basio here tonight.
Say hello, everybody.
What's happening?
Hello.
Yeah.
Yo, yo, everybody's intact here.
It was a beautiful fucking weekend in Denver.
If you came to the shows, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
In mental world, to me, the shows are sold out.
People brought weed, fucking album.
Somebody brought rocks.
I mean, it was just sensational.
So thank you very much for supporting Live Konami in Denver and the green chili.
The green chili from fucking Sam's.
I broke my own record.
I ate at Sam's eight meals in a row.
Oh, I love that.
I live when I was there and you called me.
You went how many times you've been at Sam's and I was just walking
across the street there as you called me.
It was great steak and egg, seven bucks, seven fucking bucks.
I was going in the mornings and get green chili with two eggs, a cup
with two eggs, bacon and the wheat toast.
I wouldn't eat their fucking tortilla.
I would just drink that fucking thing against your body.
Go fuck coffee.
When it's coffee, you got green fucking chili.
And then I go for lunch and have a bowl.
And for then I go there and eat the steak for 12.95.
The New York T-bone with a baked potato.
I cut half the baked potato.
You can't eat the fucking whole thing.
No.
And they give you a piece of corn and a fucking piece of bread.
This big with a stick of butter.
They don't give a fuck about your heart.
And they got, you know how you go to some places and they have like
whatever, the fake fucking butter or something else.
These guys got two types of butter.
They got real butter, like if they want to die or if you want to die
quickly, they got churned butter.
Like that's to let you know.
We ain't fucking around here.
We don't give a fuck about health, but the green.
No, no, sodium, nothing.
Nothing.
It's maximum and the fucking salad.
There's the best thing in the world.
Oh, man.
Like they could take you greasy, greasy, greasy or they could take you.
They got a taco salad that if you don't eat the fucking chips and just to
meet the avocado and the salad and the onions and the beans, you'll
live to your fucking 80s.
Yeah.
It's that Colorado beef.
You know, I shit's a USDA.
They kill it right there.
Yes.
But you know, I bought a shirt.
I got the grateful dead Sam's number three shirt.
Oh, yeah, I saw that on the way out.
Yeah, I rocked that shirt everywhere.
Oh, they love it.
They like, well, that's, you know, well, people think that everybody
thinks that Denver just popped up.
Yeah.
Then the one thing about Denver was they've been a bunch of pot
smoking motherfuckers for 30 years.
I got there in 81.
I got there in 83.
And it was just like, you know, I would tell this kid.
I had this kid named Kato.
His name was Keith corn.
Yeah.
And he lived down Valley in Basalt to Carbondale.
And Kato had been there for 10 years before me.
And I went to Kato one day when I was thief and I would have loose
cash at the house as a Kato.
Do me a big favor.
Let's stop the charade because he would always come over.
He'd be one of those guys that would come over and like say, I got my
friends got this.
We don't don't don't just buy the fucking weed.
And when you bring out, give me the cash.
Yeah, it's that easy.
Why you got to come all the way over here?
Tell me that the guy, it's tremendous because he was like, you know,
he's a connoisseur.
He liked it.
He's the one that took me to the Woody Creek Tavern for the first time.
And I saw the dude with the fucking cigarette, the writer,
fear and loathing in Las Vegas.
Oh, yeah, fucking Hunter S. Thompson.
The second time he brought me down, I saw Don Johnson and Bill Murray
with Hunter Thompson and the Woody Creek Tavern.
There was no, there was no VIP section.
There's no door, man.
There's no purple fucking carpet.
It's just biz.
The reason why I fell in love with the place was the nachos.
They would use real East Coast chorizo in the nachos, which is unheard
of even playing in 2016.
I've never had chorizo nachos.
Oh, my God.
That's where it's at.
Oh, my God.
It's really greasy.
You know what I mean?
Seeps through onto the chip, onto the chip, the cheese.
And it's just off.
If the chips in house made, Lee, your fucking heart will stop.
Yeah, I love Denver.
I was just there, man.
So a dead in company there and I'm bolder and there's there's only two
places you need to see the dead.
San Fran and Boulder.
Yeah, that's it, man.
Everybody's just like, right on.
It was so weird.
Like when I first discovered the dead, I go, this is unlistable.
Yeah, me too.
I hated this is unlistable.
You cannot listen to this.
This is this is just beyond unlistable.
Then I started dating a girl and she brought home working man's dad.
The best and something else.
Fire on the mountain and there was something else.
American beauty.
Oh, that's a killer.
Just don't you.
There was like five or six albums that she brought that she would just play.
And after a while, you would hum along.
The next thing you know, you knew the lyrics.
The next thing you know, you're like, God damn, this is solid fucking music.
Yeah.
So they didn't know you at first.
Oh, I hate that.
I like it.
I know she was a cool chick and she got high and she had 30 feet.
Yeah.
And I liked that.
And she would go to you like the deck, you know, put it on.
I mean, listen, the other day, this is a very interesting podcast
because a lot of guys don't know Rain and is my favorite drummer's son.
And that's how him and I became friends.
We were having an argument on some podcast and I said, fuck all you punks.
Terry Boswell, make him suck his dick backwards.
You know, and it's funny because I was never the type of guy
that would talk shit unless I could present the facts.
I saw Neil Perch, a great drummer, but I got to get through fucking
the singer and then no disrespect to Canadians.
You know, I'm with Triumph, I'm a Triumph delaying on the line.
Old school.
I know somebody who got shot to that song in my neighborhood.
I go, April Wine.
Yeah, April Wine, all that lover.
Oh, right.
Not working for the weekend.
The one I like was Turn Me Loose.
Turn Me Loose.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Turn Me Loose.
But I got to tell you, the fucking singer from Rush made me want to
crawl out of my skin, but I sat through.
I went, I paid for the ticket.
You know, me, dog, I was the real deal growing up.
Oh, hell, yeah.
I paid the 1850.
Why?
Because I wanted to see Neil Perch.
Oh, OK.
I had to give my fucking judgment.
How can I talk shit on the corner if I don't even know what the fuck
I'm talking about?
You know what I'm saying?
There's people who talk shit.
Have you seen him?
No, but they got the live.
I'm live from Boudicca.
Have you seen him, bitch?
Then come talk to fucking Uncle Joey, because I'll present the fucking
taxi, OK?
Yeah.
You know, I saw, I never saw Bonham.
Yeah, I saw Ward.
You know, I saw.
You know, at the time, who did I think was really good?
Well, I always thought Perk, but then Bonham wiped them all out.
Then Bonham died.
I was just stupid and hard-headed, like most young kids are.
Yeah, Keith Moon.
We got Keith Moon.
I couldn't tolerate him.
Yeah.
I couldn't tolerate the stupidity.
Two animal?
Yeah, two, too much.
He ate the flowers at the table.
Yeah.
I had friends like that.
You know what?
Give it a breather.
OK, so I know you're a little crazy good.
Keep fucking eating and shut your mouth.
He would crawl through the window.
It was like.
Throw up his kit.
It was the moment.
Tell you what?
It was like close to the end.
It was a little bit of Belushi-ish.
Yeah, a lot of people don't know.
But at the end of Belushi, it got a little old.
Like it was old.
Like it's sad.
Yeah, he got old.
It got old quick at the end with Belushi and then he died.
And that's it.
People are like, OK, we got that off our fucking hands.
You know, it really was for people who weren't alive.
Everybody loved Belushi and Belushi.
But and that's how Kevin Farley got a little bit like he got.
Like, OK, Chris Farley, Chris Farley, you know, we got like a little
because he wanted to go out the same way as fucking Belushi.
Totally.
But I went to see Neil Pert.
And there was somebody else I liked, too, as a drummer,
not the guy from the Scorpions.
Oh, he I think he toured with Shank in one year.
But a lot of attitude.
He was cozy, pal.
Cozy, he was a rainbow, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cozy power rising, man.
Like I killed.
And then one day like me, I'm starting to do crazy things
with my friends and Sabbath had broken up and, you know,
the reality was setting in that the deal was with Sabbath
and John Lennon was shot.
Yeah. And you got to move on.
And all of a sudden one day fucking MTV,
some song called Mental Homscotch. Oh, yeah.
I was on the lamb in Sarasota, Florida.
You know what that's like?
Being on the lamb in Sarasota, Florida.
Sounds exciting. No, it sounds like you want to turn yourself in at any minute.
Just extradite me back to Webber at this time.
No disrespect to Sarasota.
This time there was nothing going on.
Yeah, you had to go to this black, disgusting neighborhood to get weed.
The weed was horrible.
I'm down in on the lamb dropping fucking 50 a day and gas and weed.
Just to get the fucking weed.
It cost me 30 a day.
I'm staying with this kid Hartman who's beating up his father in front of me.
Oh, my fucking fucking them up and hitting them with his own cane.
Elderly abuse.
It was fucking, you know, but he recently called and his father died.
Now he lives in hell because he said, I know you saw those things.
And yeah, of course, because now I know what you felt like when your dad died.
I don't know how you handled it at that young age.
We be we recently reconnected.
But the point is that I would go out to see, you know, I went to see everybody.
I went to see fucking Twisted Sister and I walked out.
There was a lot of shit I went and me and my buddies were just not into it.
Let's go. Yeah, you wouldn't believe it.
I can't even name all the list of bands.
I had a friend, James, he's he's Mercy's Godfather.
There's no tolerance for James.
You got two minutes.
You got two fucking minutes with him.
And he would just look at you and go, let's go.
And we go to a Chinese restaurant.
Better come and fire on the first song.
And you had you had two songs.
Yeah, yeah.
And I don't think it went to see Twisted Sister when they wore makeup.
Yeah.
And they came out at the time and they were like, we're Twisted fucking Sister, man.
And we both looked at each other and we're like, let's go.
And people like, how was the concert
late before we walked out?
Like people couldn't handle it at that time.
You didn't even get to hear, I want to rock.
So this is this is a year before I want to rock.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. The other one.
Twisted Sister was our day-hungry man.
It was we had we had.
We had the soap factory where we I saw the I saw the the last
10 patient, Iro Smith there in 82 or one.
I saw them fall apart like fucking transgender bathrooms live on stage.
They felt just fell apart, fell apart.
It was that was the height.
Joe Perry was gone.
Yeah, Brad Wiff.
It was gone.
They broke up for like a couple of lightning strikes, lightning strikes,
rocking a hard.
And he's Lisa at you wouldn't recognize the second.
He was just just gone.
And he was on stage.
Everything, everything, everything.
It was crazy.
It was something that it was embarrassing.
It was one of the most embarrassing.
And at the end, it ended up him getting punched in the face.
And the door people had to pull him and you knew it.
You walked out of there going, that's the last time we'll see fucking
there, isn't it?
Damn, that's crazy.
They went from an arena in seventy seven with Ted Poco, Frank
Merino, Mahogany, Rush, you know, to a fucking, you know, just this hole
and the soap factory down the corner from chance.
Like I could fucking walk from chance, dragging in to the bubble factory.
How did you see anything amusing down by chance, dragging in except
for the fucking three dollars a pound for the chicken colors per pound
across the street, the gas station.
And there's a Dairy Queen.
That's been there since I was a kid.
Yeah, we would ride along the swamps and go to Dairy Queen.
There's a motorcycle.
That's that's all that was there since we've been kids.
Chance and in the corners of places sells chicken colors by the pounds.
They've been there for fucking years.
I remember going ninety nine cents.
Cooked or uncooked.
Uncooked. Skin cut.
That's all they cook.
That's all they sell.
That's it.
It's an interesting story.
So it's down the block from there.
And then then we had something hole in the wall, which we used to goof on people
and call hole in your pants at that time when I was growing up.
It was Bon Jovi.
Yeah. Sticky fingers.
It was a cover band for the Stones.
There was a Pink Floyd.
There was Twisted Sister.
The Good Rats were lurking.
Yeah. You remember the Good Rats?
The Good Rats were lurking.
They opened that.
That big shot was the garden opening up for maybe Aerosmith and somebody
through a fucking, you know, this is your big shot.
Yeah, yeah.
This is your big shot to fucking the garden.
You're you're from Long Island.
Yeah. You know, you're at the garden opening up for I think it's Aerosmith.
Somebody's going to correct me.
And while they were on stage, somebody threw a fucking cherry bomb and blew them up.
And then they fucking ran out of there and Aerosmith got on stage and somebody
threw two cherry bombs and they ran out like they waited all their fucking life
to go to the garden or something weird happened with somebody.
I'm cherry bombing these motherfuckers.
And somebody cherry bombed them and they cherry bombed Aerosmith.
They waited an entire year.
They had it on their fridge.
They had their moms, their dads out there and somebody cherry bombs.
Cherry bomb.
Because, listen, in the 70s, no, it was a well-known fact.
You know, like what times the concerts start?
The garden always started at 735.
Union room.
Union room.
But the one I saw, ACDC, that became Club MTV.
That's how fucking disgusting it was.
Like the Palladium.
Oh, yeah.
The Palladium was eight o'clock and ten after eight.
But you always had the warm up, right?
Who the fuck wants to see that?
Yes, he always showed up.
Forty-five minutes later.
He always showed up at 835.
Got your seat.
But then people started saying, OK, we'll throw Def Leppard up.
Yeah, we'll throw Iron Maiden up.
In front of Judas Priest.
We'll throw some fucking ACDC in front of Ted on Highway to Hell,
which they were untouchable.
We'll throw, somebody was telling me the lineup.
They were going to go see Leonard Skinner with it before they got blown up.
Like, that was like a fucking 1550 lineup that you were going to go home going.
I might shoot myself.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, it was, it was definitely outlaws.
Also there's killer bands up there.
No, they were on tour.
They were on tour with Ted.
Yeah.
Leonard Skinner was blowing Ted out.
Like, it was well known that Ted was like up there shooting arrows at himself.
For sure.
They had three guitarists just shredding his balls off.
I just had the hand.
He couldn't hang with those guys.
I had the Aerosmith Soundman on my podcast and on 7677 era.
And he said, Ted opened on the first tour with Ted's first album
pre Cat Scratch Fever, and he was just getting booed.
Like people were not.
He wasn't like killing like later, Ted, you know, and then a year later,
Cat Scratch Fever comes out and he's just a God, you know.
Well, I don't think it was him much as as much as just the opening act aura.
Right.
Like people actually went to spit, you know, no class motherfuckers
actually went to fucking fuck with the opening.
Throw quarters.
I didn't go.
Really? They would do that.
Yeah. Throw quarters.
Like you would just know to go fuck with the opening band.
That's those I can look you straight in the face.
I would never do that.
Nah, I would never do that.
I just wouldn't pay attention or I wouldn't go or.
But then that's what happened.
People started getting late to concerts and people started going dog.
Fucking Judas Priest sucked.
Fucking Iron Maiden came out with killers and did the whole side to the tea.
Paul Diano and you missed it.
Yeah. And you're like, oh, my God, it was just something.
You're the second person today that mentioned
Trumpers, Clyde Barrows, Iron Maiden got his killer.
The guy was killer.
You know, Clyde Barrows.
Man, I was always more of a Niko guy.
Yeah.
So I thought I mean, but that was just me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, the the funny thing is like my mom actually dated Bruce Dickinson way.
Whoa, really?
Yeah. So like we got to go see them.
Who is your mom?
A couple years ago.
Her name was Evie Kivami.
She worked at Capitol Records for a long time.
And then, you know, she ended up meeting my dad eventually and ended up.
After Dale.
Yeah, after Dale.
OK, they got no kids with Dale, right?
No kids with Dale.
She has some kids with some other people.
But yeah, it's everybody thinks that Dale's my mom.
It's like, I was kind of to clear the air like, nope, not my mom.
Yeah, you'd be like 90 if it was.
I was, you know, they were when 80.
Well, yeah, I think like to 86, I think, is when they got divorced.
Something like that.
Yeah. So and they were dating in the 70s because Frank Zappa,
there's all these like live recordings of them talking about, you know,
her and them because she was always hanging out, you know,
she was in that movie, Baby Snakes, all that stuff, you know.
So yeah, there's there's always that connection.
But speaking of my mom,
anyway, we went and saw Iron Maiden a couple of years ago,
like I think 2010 Irvine at the theater.
No, no, I was living in Texas at the time.
So I saw him in San Antonio.
I think it was like some sort of the AT&T center where the Spurs play,
you know what I mean?
There's the live after death tour again.
Murdered it.
Absolutely murdered it.
All these guys are old as fuck.
And just Bruce Dickinson is jumping across the stage.
There's there's these giant holes where like Eddie comes up
and like these this giant robot comes up and all this crazy stuff.
And he's like jumping over the holes and stuff.
He's like 50 something.
Yeah. Then he's flying the band after.
Yeah. And then, you know, flying the band
after in a seven fucking forty seven.
Exactly. And apparently, like he never comes out,
like he never comes backstage or whatever.
But because he knew my mom was there, he was like, oh, I got to come see him.
So, man, he was so nice to us.
He took pictures with all of us and was like a really cool guy.
It was Josh and me real hard and amazing band.
Amazing guy, Nicko's incredible.
Like he's he's he's one of those drummers, man.
That's like nobody or a lot of people don't realize that he plays with only one foot.
You know what I mean? Or one drum.
Yeah. Yeah. Everybody thinks.
Yeah. Everybody thinks he plays double bass because of all his doubles.
He has such great like heel toe stuff.
You know what I mean? He's like a drummer's drummer, dude.
And yeah, yeah.
Can you explain what that is for someone who doesn't know anything about drums
other than that you hit them with?
You're back from the grave all of a sudden.
I like it. I like it.
No problem. I'm going to explain.
Why do we have to finish it?
We don't have to finish it all because it's the 15th occasion.
Twenty eight years of dog. I got locked up.
Yeah, we've got to celebrate this occasion.
Yeah, rainings, eating stars, every spit, not fucking stars.
You're going on stars and one little figgy fucking drop there.
I'll take more stars. How many more you want?
Whatever you want to give me.
Shit. Look at you.
You know what? I'm going to put a little acid on the fucking stuff.
Oh, I see.
I'll do one too.
We got to finish this bottle.
We can't have this lingering.
This has been in here lingering like a spider.
No, like a spider.
You know what I'm saying?
What do you breathe in heavy for? You're fine.
I'm cool. You didn't see none yet.
Have you seen? Yeah, something's just happened.
Yeah, yeah.
What kind of stuff is happening?
If you look at like your phone, like everything is jumbly and stuff.
Me ripped off his headphones.
He was seeing something for sure.
Santana fucking 1972.
Lee ripped off the air.
He had a little smile. Santana Santana.
No, it's not.
Ralph Santana.
Ralph Santana.
That guy's a dead man.
You know, he does a bunch of benefits and people go up to him.
Go, we saw you in that movie.
I don't want to talk about it.
Both science or Rudy Moreno said he's going to see him that night.
I go, Rudy, tell him to give me an autograph.
He's Carlos.
He's George's brother.
Carlos, you know?
It's time to give me an autograph.
Like a month later, Rudy gives me because, bro,
he didn't want to fucking give it to me.
I had to beg him.
I took the fucking thing and ripped it up.
Who gives a fuck?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, yeah, I mean, this is something you did 40 years ago.
Nobody remembers you.
You were a fossil.
I give you the respect that I think you should deserve.
But his nephew travels with, I guess, his George got a sister.
And the nephew listens to the podcast and travels with Carlos.
So he sent me the CD from the last tour.
He sent me guitar stuff, a mug.
He hooked me up.
So Carlos is a god.
Yeah.
Carlos is a god.
Well, I was I was at this photo show Saturday.
My buddy, Baron woman shot Carlos at Woodstock.
And so they did these Woodstock photos Saturday.
They were fucking unbelievable.
And he's standing on stage shooting Santana.
And he said, he told me a story.
He was backstage Carlos with Jerry Garcia.
They took some acid.
He thought he was on hours later and they go, you're on now.
And he's like, well, I can't go on right now.
And when he went on, he said his guitar was turning into a snake.
And he was like, whoa.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's what you think, Lee.
That's that changed his life.
Lee, let's do it, Lee.
Let's do it.
Let's finish this fucking thing like savages.
I say, sure.
Everyone, the microphones want to turn into a snake.
It's already there.
It's already there.
Oh, goodness.
What do you feel, Doug?
What do I feel?
Yeah.
What do you feel?
It's it's like everything is fast, but slow.
It's kind of weird.
Yeah, pretty much that's pretty.
That's exactly what it's like.
You hear that when you just breathe in?
You're not hungry, are you?
I like when Lee makes noises.
He'll be over there.
He'll go, yeah, you don't know what I live with.
You have no idea what I live with, no idea what I live with.
Can I tell you something?
I have no idea.
I make those noises.
Yeah, you're on the way to it.
That's the only way I know you're alive.
I look at him and go, I have no idea.
I'm making those sounds.
I love it.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit, big wet asses.
Fuck yeah, Lee.
We're going deep tonight.
It's all over.
Yeah.
All right, come here, Lee.
This is good for you.
Come on, Lee.
You got to take a little more.
Now, at least you got down the hole.
That's it.
I don't know.
You're a fuck.
You're Ubering home, right?
Yeah.
I'm not going anywhere.
Last time you Ubered, you got the Mexican Uber from that.
You're right, the Uber's going to scare him,
set him in a shock.
The Uber driver's going to turn into Medusa,
snakes out the head.
It did.
He made them, well, he made them drop them off over at North
Hollywood bus station.
Oh, really?
And then took another fuck.
And then he walked here and got the car.
He said, fuck it.
I ain't taking no.
Lee, you going to take that thing?
It smelled too much like garlic.
Well, you're making big delete.
It's like a little needle.
I just did one.
I did two and a half.
Go ahead.
Oh, shit, Lee.
So much more.
No, it's not mine, man.
Now you got to squeeze the rubber.
Oh.
Like a doctor.
Oh, Lee almost vomited on the keypad.
Lee, does that acid taste gross?
Does that taste gross?
Is that acid?
Yeah, it doesn't taste great.
Really?
No.
No, it's surprising.
That chemical smoke tastes great.
Give me the fucking thing.
He was gagging when he was eating the chocolate.
I didn't know what he was talking about.
It was like an acid taste, too.
Please.
Lee, you want a little piece of chocolate?
No.
Hey, remember at the top of the show,
Lee said, there'd be no more drops.
Exactly, right?
There'd be no more drops.
I think you might need to give it to me.
Watch out.
Watch out.
He's going to get sick.
Give me the trash can, please.
Yeah.
I might be OK.
I might be OK.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
This is nice to have.
He dropped our fingers.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
I didn't get a full box, so I'm going to get a note.
That was awesome.
You know.
What was the light grown up with?
What was the light grown up with a famous father?
Shut the fuck up, cocksucker.
Let me get that white lighter over there.
Please try to give you some shit right now.
Wow.
That's hilarious.
No, I don't have a famous father near this game.
My legs are shaking.
My dad's a different kind of famous.
That's the weird thing.
It was cool for the most part, because he wasn't like Tommy
Lee famous, you know what I mean?
He's not like Neil Pert famous even, you know what I mean?
He's got a different kind of fame going for him.
So it was much easier for me.
I didn't have the heart of the time,
because it's not like, oh, yeah, everybody knew my dad.
People knew my dad were famous, gave me a hard time about it,
and will always, because I'm in the same field as him.
But luckily, I don't try to really do what he does.
So I kind of get respect from a lot of my peers.
And for the most part, people don't see that I'm, you know,
if I tried to do what he did, I don't think I would do the same.
There's flashes of his playing within me.
But other than that, I mean, it was really awesome,
because I got so much genetic talent from him, you know what
I mean?
I was only in formal lessons a little bit here and there.
But for the most part, I feel like I just
inherited a lot of my drumming skills.
Would you hear him playing at the house as a child all the time?
Yeah, so.
I was in concerts in the womb, you know what I mean?
Like, it was just a thing.
And I guess his dad was a musician as well.
His dad was like a accordion player,
like a prodigy accordion player when he was really young.
Where's your dad from?
San Francisco.
No, but he went to Drake High.
OK, I found this out actually last year, too.
You'll like this.
I got some Russian Jew in me, just a small bit.
Welcome to the globe.
Hell yeah, I'm pretty stoked.
I like both of those, you know what I mean?
Then I got, oh, so he's Italian, Finnish, Scotch Irish, Russian
Jew, and I think Dutch on his side from his genealogy studies.
That's what he's found out.
And then on my mom's side, I'm Norwegian and Mongolian.
So my mom's side is where I get the hype from, too.
But for the most part, pretty Italian family.
Like, they were both, you know, both his parents were pretty
like Ellis Island, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like serious Italian immigrants.
And they landed in San Francisco?
No, actually, I think he's.
In San Eselmo.
He's third generation.
Right.
He's third generation.
Because his grandpa helped build the Golden Gate Bridge.
Wow.
Yeah, like.
I didn't even know your dad went to Drake High and moved from a rent.
It's crazy, man.
I know, I thought he was an LA cat.
A lot of people think that because, yeah, he kind of made the name
for himself here always.
But, you know, his dad auditioned for thin Lizzie didn't get the gig.
Right.
Isn't that crazy?
Did he ever tell you that story?
Oh, he's told me so many other stories because I've had so many
of those situations where I've called him and been like, oh, I had this
opportunity to audition for like a Randy Jackson produced project.
But I totally whiffed it so hard, you know what I mean?
Got super nervous, started like sweating, you know what I mean?
The kit wasn't set up, right?
Just everything started going wrong.
You know what I mean?
He's like, dude, don't worry about that.
Like, you know, I've been through that.
I've been through that hell so many times.
I mean, there's a lot of bands that like smashing pumpkins.
He played with them for like week, week or so.
Just didn't work out.
You know what I mean?
Oh, before Kenny Aronoff got it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's weird.
Yeah.
So there's there's a lot of that crazy stuff that happens where it's like, oh, man,
you think you're going to have this awesome gig or you think all this stuff
is going to work out and then all falls through your feet, which I've experienced
that a lot in my, you know, 11 year.
Well, I was playing drums since I was 11.
So about 15 years.
So I mean, we've all had that in different avenues, like comedy.
And you know exactly what you're doing.
Yeah, I think you killed it.
You think you killed it and you go in the next thing.
You know, Pacino's doing the wrong thing.
I went up against Pacino.
No, you didn't.
They ripped up your fucking tape before Pacino showed up.
They just used you until he said, yes.
Some guy called me about a year ago.
One of those commercials, the Allstate, yeah, that you jump out the car.
That guy, some fucking guy bumped into him.
He's like, you've been on there.
No, I auditioned for this thing like 18 times.
They made me do this and this and this and this.
Then they gave it to the guy from Law and Order.
And I'm like, you really believed that you'd lost it to a guy from Law and Order.
Yeah, yeah.
You lost it when you walked in, you know what I'm saying?
They had an offer on him.
Yeah, they just went on for it.
Yeah, people always think like I went up against.
No, you did not go up against them.
Yeah.
By the time they thought about him, you were in the fucking garbage.
Yeah.
Your head shot was in the garbage.
How do I know?
Because it's happened to me.
That's how the fuck, you know, when you think you got something else.
I'm like, Val Kilmer, Val Kilmer.
How does Val Kilmer get this?
I was in the room when it was me and Frank Stallone.
And all of a sudden, how the fuck does Val Kilmer get this fucking role?
Oh, my God.
He is that like, and I have forgotten all about this.
Maybe seven before I moved to the Valley, that last Christmas before I got married.
Yeah, because it makes sense.
It was 2008.
The strike was 2007.
Yeah, the right.
The right of strike.
Nothing was happening.
Did that really just kill everything?
I was in college then.
The city was fucking dead.
The city was dead.
People were talking shit.
People were striking.
I even went down to one.
Restaurants were empty.
Because people weren't working.
Nobody.
No, it was over.
Wow.
So right after that, little movie started getting made.
And I got this call for this fucking old time gangster movie.
They robbed like a fucking restaurant that's got a million dollars in cash
and heroin underneath it.
Like they told me all the names and they're like, we're interested in you for this role.
It's shoot tonight.
Oh, like they fucking had me all zapped up.
Yeah, they fucked up my head.
They made me go in and they made me go in again.
Then they went and had me get measured for suits.
That they knew you weren't going to need.
No, like they're like, we want you to get tailored for these suits for this role.
This is going to be a lot of your roles have to have expensive suits.
They tailored me.
They measured me.
They picked up the shirts, the suits.
I went for another call back.
Everybody was in the room.
What do you think?
I shoot in Idaho.
I love it.
I never heard from them.
I thought of fucking holidays.
Never heard.
And then I moved on, you know, me, I moved on with my life.
And then a year later, you're a fucking, you're sitting there watching Netflix.
Yeah.
And there's the movie that you went to audition for.
And you see who's in it.
You're like, how did that happen?
Yeah, they went from me to Val Kilmer.
They know.
No, yeah, of course.
They're just threatening him to like, we've already measured up the guy.
So, I mean, you know, and he's trying to hold out for money.
And, you know, they go back and forth.
It's like that famous three episodes of Louie where they have
my audition for the late show.
They're going to give him David Letterman's thing.
And David Lynch is like the.
Yeah, yeah.
He's the trainer, right?
But it goes in there and it's Gary Marshall.
And he's like, well, why don't you just get, you know, Seinfeld?
And he goes, no, you understand, we already put an offer in for Seinfeld.
But if we can get you for like a million and it goes good, we'll look like geniuses,
you know, really, they're just using him to pawn against Seinfeld on this episode.
That's crazy.
And then and then Seinfeld at the end gets it, you know,
I think I'm going to go like Val Kilmer.
If you don't take the road, Joey Diaz, no, they're not.
They don't give a fuck about my fat ass.
You know, it's the movie never went nowhere.
I mean, that's the funny thing that when you don't get something,
it's not that you wish the project bad.
This is the worst when you actually think that this is going to make you something.
Yeah, you know, we all have that when we first start in the business that we're going
to be at the Roxy playing the drums and fucking RCA is going to walk in with Prince
and it's all going to work out or whatever.
Sure, totally.
But, you know, it's band stories are just to me, you know, like even the Beatles,
you know, they had a drummer and he fucking left and then Ringo replaced them.
Everybody knows Ringo is worthless.
Everybody knows that Ringo walked in there.
It was his fucking lottery.
It was like Nick Diaz walking into like Conor McGregor.
Like I said, your life changes, you know, the lotto.
So it's just I love bands.
I love how they came together.
I love like even the Eagles early on.
Somebody split.
Yeah, yeah, some of these two people one guy couldn't handle it.
Listen, don't ever pay me.
Don't ever look me up.
I just want to split.
This is too much pressure.
That guy wants to put a gun in his fucking mouth.
Yeah, he was the lead player.
That's the guy that left.
He went crazy.
Actually, the song went crazy.
The bass player went crazy.
That's who went crazy.
So many.
Well, but they had a guitar player that left in the bass player and then they got
the next bass player that's saying, I can't.
Right.
He began the yeah.
And but that guitar player also same with Skinner, they had a dude and he went crazy
before, you know, on the first two records, they had a different guy and he quit.
Skinner, you know, after the second record, they're crazy, right?
And then they fucking go free bird and become the biggest band ever.
It's nuts when people, you know what happens?
Everybody knows that story.
You're in a band and you really think you want it and everything.
And I'll send you do like one tour and it's not for you.
You know what I mean?
You go, oh, fuck this road shit, man.
I miss home, you know, you don't know.
Till you're out there, especially in the seventies, just shit food and no sleep.
And those cell phone, those tour buses were horrible back then.
They're like a greyhound with the seats kind of torn out.
You know, just like a school bus.
They had 10 seats, you know, and then you find out right away who's not in it
for the long haul right away because you're just like, oh, this guy, look at
them all sad over there.
This is arena sold out.
Why are you sad?
You know, oh, yeah.
Most tours, there's always one guy who's always kind of the weak link or the person
who's either like, you know, they go and sit in a corner.
They're not hanging out with everybody else.
They're not drinking.
They're not doing whatever everybody's doing.
You know what I mean?
They're not being social.
And that's when you can tell it's like, all right, you know, we we're going to have
an issue here.
We can't have this guy be a part of our team if he's not part of the team.
You know what I mean?
If he's sitting in the corner calling his girlfriend every night or doing
this and that, like how how well is this really going to always the girlfriend too?
You got the that's a big pussy whip, dude.
You know, just like, oh, man, I'm going to get home.
Well, and then we all love crazy girls too.
All the musicians.
That's like the instant attractor.
You know what I mean?
So it's like every girl has mega issues with the guy that they've dated.
And the guy, of course, fucked up at one point in the relationship to this.
But now it's OK.
So it's like, well, like that's like the story with.
It's 75 percent of the bands have been in a lot of fucking like when I was a kid
and I heard Zeppelin, you know, I was very open.
I was raised like you.
I heard everything.
Saturdays at my house.
I heard old school Cuban.
Hell, you know, Ramba music, La Lupe.
La Lupe was La Lupe was a famous Cuban singer who they've done documentaries on
and shit.
She was up there with Celia Cruz.
But La Lupe didn't have an anger issue.
La Lupe was one of those chicks that when she sang, she'd rip her clothes off.
Well, she was on a bunch of shows and she could sing.
This bitch could sing.
They're doing a one woman show about her in Miami and coconut grove, or they did
the lieutenant from the fucking anthropologist that kills you.
What was that show on showtime here?
Dexter. Oh, yeah.
Remember the Black Puerto Rican lieutenant?
Right. She plays La Lupe.
Well, the truth of Lupe was Lupe and Celia Cruz were both up for the final.
No stars. They were both at the final eight.
Oh, wow. But they gave it to Celia.
Lupe went fucking bananas.
When I was a kid, I knew a Lupe son and Lupe.
My mom, my mom hung with a lot of those musicians.
They came to my mom's bar.
Well, you know, I was very fortunate as a child to have pastoral music around the corner
from me. And I've said this a thousand times.
If you play the garden, I guess the union makes you go there really to get supplies.
Like when you go to New York for some reason, pastoral is like whatever.
Like when you walk past pastoral music and you look at the windows, let's face it.
Everybody has been there.
But look it up, please.
See what you got on pastoral music, P-A-S-T-O-R-E music.
And you didn't see New Jersey.
I'm sorry. Can P-A-S-T-O-R-E print.
Put it up on the screen. Still open.
Still fucking open. Wow.
It's a building.
OK. And when I was in my mom's bar, it's on 32nd and Bergenlein.
My mom's bar was on 29th and Bergenlein.
I always walk past there.
I would look in there.
I'd see people playing drums.
It was like a guitar center for us. Right.
Only a three-floored one. Nice.
OK. In the 70s. So. Wow, man.
There's a YouTube clip from the store.
There it is right there, Josie.
There they look at it. Yeah.
It's cool looking. There's a photo right there.
Hit the photos, Lee. Or maybe the photos.
Maybe the video right there.
And to the right to the right to see photos.
Well, the map where the map is. Oh, yeah.
Cool. Let's take a look at these photos of the place.
Oh, yeah. Look at the drum section with all the stuff.
Look at that place. It's cool. It's old school.
Look at that. There we go.
There's the congos and the bandos.
Yeah. Guitar cord wall.
That's cool, man.
Oh, look at that.
You can get pancakes there.
The place was all.
I used to take bass lessons up on the third floor.
Wow. Well, that was around 10.
Go to the YouTube thing.
See what they say on YouTube about it.
Yeah, that's cool.
So I used to, you know, you just heard rumors.
Kids would say right there.
That YouTube video right there right in front of you.
Yeah. Jesus Christ, Lee.
What am I going to do with you?
Lee is. Oh, look.
It's like a family.
It's like a family.
You're very well.
That guy has lived there all the time.
It's reactions such as those that help to explain why Pastori music
in Union City is still thriving more than 70 years after its creation.
Seventy.
It opened in 1939 at 507 32nd Street,
the same place where it now stands.
Back then, the focus was on selling accordions and doing instrument
rentals to schools.
And it was run by Jerry Pastori's grandparents who moved to the U.S.
from northern Italy.
It was small.
It used to be on the second floor and the third floor.
And I'm Northern Italy.
We're Northern Italians from Italy and go there all the time.
And that probably makes sense.
There you go.
They gave me the Italians taught each other.
The accordion right there.
Well, like I said,
basically kept the same thing going.
But it's no, it's just rocked from a street rumble.
I think we all got that, too.
That is cool, man.
I thought they would have more.
But the volume of brass, guitar, pianos, lessons.
The bulk of the customers live in Hudson County,
but people do come from other places.
Am I tripping or does that guy look super familiar?
This diehard guitar player who lives in Garfield
is just some random guy who says he won't have his instruments
repaired anywhere else.
I bring all my guitars here.
And Ronaldo does all the technical work.
Yeah, I thought it was going to be some maestro.
And I get all my accessories.
I don't go on any place else.
It's just like the best place on the map.
And that place was bigger, guys.
His guitar doctor of choice is 76-year-old
Ronaldo Orlandani.
76.
He's worked for the owners for 43 years.
He not only fixes the instruments,
but he makes them as well.
I get the wood.
The customer, they tell me exactly the shape of the one.
I put on the paper.
The customer come, they look at it.
If they like it, OK.
If they don't like it, it's salty.
Then on the design, we call it.
Blue-ice-to-coat right there.
Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you guys, I'm telling you that.
That was sick.
You heard rumbling, says a child.
Look.
Yeah, look at that.
Ingve.
Yeah, but John, look, Ingve.
They wear from two to three months to make, as for the cost.
25 to 3,000.
Depends on the quality of the wood.
Depends on the electronic, the weight.
That's Paul right there.
This Jimi Hendrix guitar is one of Ronaldo's creations.
Sick.
It took him three months to make it.
Wow.
And it's going to cost the musician who ordered it $3,500.
It's a good deal.
It was around between 1970, 1980, 85.
I used to do like 15, 20 guitar a year.
Wow.
Probably 5, 10 a year.
The bulk of his creations are electric.
And he puts in 50 to 52 hours a week at the store.
Wow.
Crafting the guitars and repairing the instruments.
But he says he doesn't mind.
Yeah, you create, the customer got problem,
you fix, and they happy, they smile,
they leave the shop, they smile.
That's what you want to see.
That's how these guys live forever.
They work 52 hours a week making it there.
Look at this guy.
Yeah, did you see that guy?
Now next to that place.
I think I know that guy.
Next to that, right next to that place,
you, it's still a bar.
And it was a bar since I was a kid.
Nasty always.
And then one time I went back and people
they do comedy on Thursday night.
No shit.
So I went, I forget what the fuck the name.
I went in there and when I was a kid,
there was a strip club called the, whatever,
the Middlelands Lodge where there was a chick that put
a bottle up a pussy and all this shit.
She had a reputation.
I go in there to do the open mind.
Who do you think is at the bar?
Like Jill.
Bottle pussy?
Hanice.
Oh my God.
I'm like niece, you know.
And next thing you know, in a white van,
snort and blow, she had a white van.
I mean, it was just too surreal.
I didn't do nothing with a nothing.
We just ended up in there doing a couple of bumps.
Did you say, man, your aunt was bottle pussy?
No, I couldn't fucking say it.
She knew.
She was doing the same thing.
Like a week later, I find out they're like,
oh yes, she's a dirty whore too.
You should have fucked up with her.
I just, she, you know, I went to school with her uncle.
It was bad enough that I saw this sister
sit on a Galliano bottle.
I don't fucking want it.
I was a kid.
Now I got to see the young niece.
She was very nice, but I could tell she was a little
loose cannon.
I had some blow.
She had some blow.
My friend had some blow.
We had a van.
That was it.
Nobody fucked.
Nobody fucked.
Nobody sucked.
Nobody did nothing.
We just went and blowed in a couple of bumps.
I noticed she had a mini skirt.
But I said, you know what?
She's Petrolo's niece.
What am I going to get out of this?
I'm a girl.
You know, I was 32, 34, 33.
And that was it.
That bar was there.
And on top of that, when I was a kid,
it was a Chinese restaurant called
the New Moon Chinese Restaurant,
right next to pastoral music.
And my mom would actually let me walk up the block,
go up the stairs, and I'd get chicken chow mein,
and I'd just eat the crunchies.
And the white meat chicken.
I'd leave the fucking cucumber to all that shit.
Fuck all this.
Huh?
No cucumbers.
The celery, it wasn't even cucumbers.
It was nothing.
That's a great neighborhood.
But one day I'm walking, who do I see?
Fucking Cher.
Wow.
And the guitarist or the singer from?
Greg Allman.
Greg Allman.
And that was it.
Then I heard rumblings of when people
were performing at the garden,
they would have to go over there to get there
since that guy's been there for 40 years.
They trusted him.
And they went over there and said,
Pops, take a look at this.
I'm playing at the garden tonight.
And they fixed it.
So that was the rumor on the street.
Whether or not I only saw two people there.
That's cool.
Well, I think that video was kind of proved there.
Well, that video is cool, man.
But when I was a kid, that place was hoppin', guys.
When I was a kid, that place was like,
the guitar center, only three floor.
I used to go upstairs for bass lessons.
I went for maybe three months.
Then I realized the bassist is the loneliest
motherfucking the band always.
I don't want to be lonely.
I want to have friends.
Bassists are always lonely.
You're a smart guy, Joey.
They're always lonely.
What the fuck it is with them?
You've never, besides Stanley Clarke and maybe a few others.
Even Mike Anthony from Van Halen,
who was the biggest band ever, still looked like he was.
Oh, yeah.
You could tell that that dude,
he would just bring a party down.
You know, who else I like as a bass player?
I like Stanley Clarke.
You liked Bill Wyman.
I got to see Stanley Clarke.
Yeah, Stanley Clarke was a murderer.
Cliff Williams, ACDC.
You liked him?
The guy from the who was Menzan Mort.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Paul was a fucking savage.
You know, on whatever.
There was a lot of good, you know, and that's what it was.
I mean, it's just crazy that I got so much into music.
And if somebody would go listen, go watch that.
I'll tell you who else's drummer
was really good when I was a kid.
I don't know if he died.
And I don't know what happened.
I went to see him on the pretenders.
See, your dad and the pretenders and all that stuff,
when I heard it, I'm like, where they going with this?
Pat Benatar.
And we don't get to start it, we went deep.
You know, where are we going with this?
Where are we going with this style of music?
And like I said, the first time,
I mean, put on mental hopscotch, you know,
I'm doing something, I'm rolling the joint.
That's the one, man.
Because that's the one that got him on MTV.
That's the one.
Then it was released on an EP.
I've always told people, them rat in those days.
Yeah, EP first.
EP them rat.
Somebody else had a fucking EP.
They're great writers too, I said.
When they were called Mickey rat.
Yeah, Guns N' Roses had an EP.
It was their first thing they put out
with the four songs.
That's a way to get it.
I saw Missing Persons at the S Festival.
That's awesome.
I love that video.
I was there, I was there.
She wore the plastic suit.
That's gotta be the killer,
the most killer lineup, two day festival ever.
It was three, it was four actually.
They had a country day on the Monday.
I just didn't know that one.
You gotta voluptuously, I gotta put
all the deaf people that have it on the organ at the house.
My dad pouting.
Listen to this shit.
First time I heard this, I'm like, what is this?
And I turn around, look at this fucking guy.
He looks like a spider playing the drums.
This stuff was so smart, man.
So ahead of its time, dude.
Crazy, progressive drumming, you know what I mean?
All these guys are, well, most of the guys
are ex-Dapha musicians.
Right, right, right.
So it's like, dude.
How can you go wrong?
When you got legit guys playing pop
and writing pop together.
Right.
Listen to those fucking drums, dog.
I never heard nothing like that.
Rima Roto-toms.
I'm pretty sure he invented those Roto-toms.
That's crazy, man.
And that cymbal stack too.
Really?
The first person to do that, yeah.
Yeah, and I'm actually, what's really funny is,
I know you're a Tool fan.
The drummer, Danny Carey, bought his actual set
of Roto-toms from another guy who bought them
from my dad years ago.
So he owns them and plays them live with Tool all the time.
I've seen him play my dad's Roto-toms.
Frickin' crazy, man.
And like, Danny Carey's like, what your dad is
to a lot of people, to me, you know what I mean?
He was like, my guy.
Filled up.
Now your dad's straight DW-owned.
I heard he's always up there in Ventura shooting the videos.
Yeah, he lives in that area.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he was working on the drum channel for a long time.
And he just kind of fell in love with the area.
This part right here, solo.
I love it, yeah, I love all this shit.
Oh, my God.
I'd like to say I saw this October of 82.
And then.
Well, this is like one of the first videos
they had on MTV.
Right, this is the one they had on MTV first.
So every.
This is 1980, right?
82.
And on schedule, it would be like a certain time every night.
So it got a lot of airplane.
That became, you know.
In those days, MTV would go, coming up
this hour at Benatar, missing persons.
And right now, Blu-Oye's the cult.
And they would do day after day.
Oh, yeah, don't feel the rhythm.
No, no, no.
Oh, yeah, burn out the light, right?
Oh, yeah, I'm burning for you.
I'm burning for you.
I'm burning for you.
Great song.
Yeah, I love that.
Great song.
Great song.
Fuck Don.
Turn the music off.
I love the music for sure.
But this, when I saw this.
And singing back up like a savage, too.
He wrote like 90% of his music.
Yeah, you can tell she just did.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, him and Warren, the guitarist,
wrote most of the stuff.
And then, you know, I think Pat wrote some of it, too.
Right there.
Hit noticeable one, dawg.
That one's killing me.
That's live.
How does this band come together now?
He leaves Zappa, then he meets Dale.
No, you got to do the US Festival one, right?
Yeah, it's so great.
You want to click it, man?
US Festival.
Yeah, I got you, man.
So he leaves Zappa, and then he meets Dale,
and they start this, or how does it happen?
OK, so, no, he met Dale while he was with Zappa.
Right.
And then they decide to do a band.
Is she a singer when he meets her?
No.
Yeah, well, I guess he had done some.
Oh, here, US Festival, right?
What is that?
No, just I was fast for missing persons.
OK, I got it, I got it, yeah.
Anyway, yeah, I guess she was traveling around with Zappa.
And he tells the story in an MTV interview, actually,
where he's like, oh, yeah, she walked in the room
and she was incredibly beautiful.
Everybody just stopped and looked at her.
So I knew I had to ask her out, blah, blah, and luckily,
she went out with me, you know, so and so, so.
Yeah.
But was she a singer?
Yeah, yeah, kind of.
But I mean, obviously not that good of a singer
from the US Festival.
I mean, I hate to talk shit on people, but whatever.
Did you ever meet her?
Yeah, yeah, I've met her, and she was a nice lady.
And first, she's had some problems here and there.
I hope she's doing better, whatever the deal is.
I just honestly, this is the best.
Bless us, okay.
But yeah, my dad kind of told her to do that like squeaking
thing because it was like, you know, if you can't sing
and kind of fake it and like do this thing and, you know,
made it really work because she wasn't a very trained vocalist.
You know what I mean?
But perfect for the project.
I mean, the voice is killer.
He says in an MTV interview, he's like, well, obviously,
the pretty girl sells the cigarettes or the car
or the whatever.
And you know, that's kind of what we're doing here.
You know, she's very stunning.
And you know, we hope to kind of just attract people all.
Just says it outright like a savage, dude.
Just doesn't give a fuck.
I'm like, wow, brutal.
It was like 114 degrees out.
There's no trees out there, you know, and no stands.
I'm in Colorado.
Yeah.
I'm 19 years old.
I just get to Colorado.
Did it open up without telling you?
I just get to Colorado.
I get to Aspen.
I make a few friends.
I don't snore coke yet.
I'm smoking pot.
Nobody knows my little itch.
And the people said to me, dogs, we're driving to this.
Yeah.
Eight of us, we got a van, another car.
You chip in, it's 40 bucks in gas, maybe.
There and back.
We're going to sleep on the beach.
Our friend is from Cali.
And we got tickets if you want to go.
And MTV was going to have it.
And my roommates were leaving.
Like it was like some holiday weekend.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It was Memorial Day weekend.
So I'm like, wait a second.
I get, and my friend said, if you stay in Western house,
I'll leave you like a fucking G-Bow and some weed.
Feed the dog.
And I was like, I'm home all alone in Aspen,
with a fucking German shepherd, a bag of weed.
I'm going to drive all the way to California.
Fuck that.
And I hated myself because I wanted to see them.
The Scorpions.
The Clash.
The Clash.
But I was like, that was one of the big sacrifices.
Molly Crue, Judas Priest.
Quiet, Ryan.
Here we go.
Here we go.
This is it.
Look at that.
Early Simmons drums.
Yeah, man.
The amount of drum stuff that my dad has innovated is insane.
Really?
If you go to his website, there's a list of kind of the things
that he's laid claim to just coming up with just like crazy
little things like that cymbal stack.
Everybody in modern music are using those.
The double bass pedal, him and his roadie at the time,
kind of helped develop one of the original kind of like slave
pedal systems.
Oh, really?
The two pedals?
Yeah, man.
You know, just like crazy stuff like that, the Roto Toms.
Look at this shit.
Look at this.
This is the real guy.
It was great.
I was there.
And you know what?
And she takes her clothes off too, pretty much.
She doesn't sound bad right now.
She's selling it, guys.
Let's see her voice is cutting out there.
So what, it's still working?
Yeah.
Well, who knows what all of those guys like about.
Does she sing clothes off before this or after this?
Before this, who's the playmate?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Before this.
Before this.
Yeah, I think playmate and whatever the other one is.
And else?
The penthouse.
Yeah.
She sings better than Britney Spears.
Damn, Dean Del Rey, you heard it from him.
This guy kills.
Yeah, I love you.
I like that your dad always leaned into it
like he's doing karate.
Right, right, right.
So now they come to fucking Jersey.
Me and my buddies, like all my, the overall picture of it,
wasn't missing person of it.
Right.
It was just like me and two other guys that were like,
that's a fuck.
We got the cassette.
We were making play on the Z28 every night.
We do blow, listen to this.
There's a couple of songs.
All I wanted is a window to look through.
Yeah, window, that's a great one.
I had this on my iPod and one day I told my wife,
just put missing person, maybe like a year ago.
Yeah.
She could make a list of the albums you want.
I told her that she put this out, mom.
I was asleep on a plane finally and window came.
And if you hear any of my things,
I always tell people at the age of 20,
all I wanted was just a little daylight.
And I could have busted out.
I wouldn't have to be a criminal.
When I heard that song, window, I would snort coke
and fall apart every time I hear that song.
Because all I wanted was a window to look through.
That's it.
And then what the ironic thing is,
no matter what time it was, there was Venere.
My friend, that's the assemblyman now for Jersey.
Like he was straight legs with a suit.
We used to make him go to Harlem.
We'd make him do a thousand things.
He's my brother.
But when walking in LA would come up,
it could be two in the morning.
And the fucking thing would be off the speakers in the car,
go past the car.
We didn't give a fuck.
And I always think, look, it's 30 years later,
I'm living in fucking LA.
That was one of my favorite songs off that album.
It was noticeable one, windows, walking in LA,
US blues, what is it?
US drag.
US drag is a fucking, like very innovative.
At that time, you're like, what?
We both drive by the US drag.
You're like, what the fuck is this?
A lot of people wearing into it.
You know what, man?
Me, Venere, and this dude, Ferney Bonsassudo,
with leather jackets.
They were supposed to play in December,
a week before Benatar.
We were gonna go see December of 82.
We were gonna go see Benatar and Missing Persons.
Saturday to Saturday.
Back to back, our fucking holiday was complete.
I got a job.
I got a job at a fucking hardware store
called Boulevard Hardware.
It's still there.
George Murad was his name.
He was the first Arab.
So we would call him his dad.
George Murad.
We would call him his dad, George Murad,
and your Bahama sound,
because the dad was the eyeball.
The dad watched the register,
and he watched shoplifters.
It was a great business, but I got that job.
And I remember they said, we're giving it advance.
And I went to see that Benatar,
like the 3rd of December, and that Monday,
they announced Missing Persons cancel dates to be announced.
We already had the tickets.
Dates got rescheduled for like January 22nd.
Then we were fired up all week.
All week long, people know we're fired up about it.
We're gonna see Missing Persons.
Where are these guys all jacked up?
Oh, we were eating gorilla biscuits.
We're doing powder, and it was just three of us.
And we fucking go out to Newark.
You gotta ask your dad,
dad, do you remember when the destination, whatever,
what place did you play in Newark?
I don't know the name of it.
I saw the Scorpions there, though.
Oh, wow.
What year was this?
80th, this is January of 83.
We can go right through the tourist page real tight.
Yeah, cause I don't know.
The one place I definitely remember,
or at least know about at the East Coast Day,
it was Peppermint Lounge.
Okay, that's the idea.
But that's more than in the city.
No, this was a theater in Jersey.
Now, most people that day knew they were staying there.
Like the sun was cold.
It was one of those East Coast days
that it was fucking cold.
The driver was already starting to renege.
I don't know about going out tonight.
He's gonna be blackout.
Listen, we're going to see fucking missing persons.
They canceled the first time.
We're not canceled the second time.
It was a Friday night, me, Ferney, and this kid, Vinneri.
And we walked in there and it was basically
extended CBGB people.
Oh, yeah.
You know, punk rockers.
Punk rockers.
And they took one look at us.
And we can hear you.
They took one look at us.
You're moaning.
We're hearing Lee's man moaning.
They took one look at us and they didn't freak,
but they were like, you know,
because at the time I was a built kid
and Ferney was yoked.
Yeah, you guys are chocks.
It's like the chucks against the punkers.
And we were chucks.
And we had like night road tickets.
You know, we just walked in like, what bitches?
What?
Get the fuck out of our seat.
And all of a sudden they had like a,
it was like a red lighting,
but all the other bands had all this flash,
Judas Priest and, you know,
and all of a sudden these guys came on.
They were very mountain managed.
She came out wrapped in cellophane
with two pasties, the cups.
No, not the pasties.
Not the fish bowls, but the cups that you,
that appoint you when you get water at the doctor's office.
Oh yeah, yeah.
The cones.
Like the snow cone things.
She had two snow cone things wrapped in cellophane.
All the lights were on her, you know,
to get your attention.
Noticeable one, bam, bam.
Your dad's back there, me and Ferney.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Now, this is the funny thing.
They throw all these punk rockers and all these,
and all of a sudden I think the second song,
I forget what they went into.
We were up on our feet and we scared the people.
They were like, oh my God, you're not supposed to get up.
What?
Yeah.
We started getting up and then they started looking at us.
And all I remember is three things
that I remember from that night.
Your dad, I remember her with the cups.
I remember how cold it was.
Like, it was just, and when we got back,
I remember how happy we were.
That chance dragging in was open.
You know, you always hear me talking about chance.
Yeah, right.
In those days, the bar would stay open.
So we went in there and they're like, we have food.
And I'll never forget, it was three of us
and they couldn't sit us together.
So the Chinese guy gave us a table.
Why wouldn't they sit you together?
Because there weren't three seats in the bar.
Oh, okay.
It was a Friday.
I thought you were like banned from sitting.
We just, there weren't three seats that were together.
So we couldn't sit together.
So next thing you know, the guy put us at the table.
And I'll never forget this.
Ferney sits over here.
I sit over here and Vanirri sits here
and the waiter comes here.
So they could fly up this way.
Now I'll never forget that the waiter came
and by the way we just gave, we had eaten 80,000 times.
Yeah.
And Ferney now we're tripping.
I don't know what the fuck we're on.
Ferney gives us a thing and goes, egg drop soup.
I give him my menu from here.
I'm second and I go, one ton soup.
And all of a sudden Vanirri goes to give him the menu.
He goes, excuse me, do you have any chicken noodle soup?
I'll never forget that.
Like with a straight.
Chicken noodle.
And we just knocked.
Would you stop?
You can't order fucking chicken noodle soup.
It's a Chinese fucking restaurant.
Chicken noodle soup.
I'll never forget that.
But I was fucking furious.
That's disrespectful.
I was furious.
I was fucking furious.
Oh man.
But you can't get fucking chicken fucking.
What the fuck?
And that's the last thing I remember from that show.
But after that show, I made a decision.
That I had seen some good drummers.
Granted, he had home team in his favor.
He was a fucking theater.
You know, like your dad was at a theater.
This is completely different than seeing Motley Crue.
But at a theater level, and I saw the B-52s at that level.
I saw Ozzie's band at that level at the Palladium.
He was the best drummer I had seen.
There was something about your dad
that was completely different.
So that's what really, Zappa always,
the one time I put Zappa on, I'm tripping on acid.
He's hitting fucking bowls and cymbals and fucking.
Some of it's a hard sell.
Some of it's a hard sell.
You gotta go through and like select a playlist
of Zappa stuff.
How many albums was your dad on with him?
I know Joe's Garage.
I think it's like six, right?
I mean, at least six.
He's on the big one, the Shaker Boutte.
Right.
Yeah, for sure.
Shaker Boutte.
He's featured prominently in at least four.
And then I know maybe up to eight
because there's always stuff throughout the years
that maybe he would play on just like a little bit,
or like sing on something or do whatever
where he has credits.
But yeah, I definitely know Shaker Boutte,
the Baby Snakes album, what else?
Zoodalours.
Yeah.
It's all the, it's all the.
Live in New York, sleep dirt.
I think sleep dirt was the first one that he was on.
Who went in after him?
Vinny.
Oh yeah, Vinny.
And Vinny came in, like the whole story about him was,
he like came in and knew the black page already,
like note for note, you know what I mean?
And just came in and played it and ripped it.
Everybody was like, no.
It's funny because Josh Fritz is a good friend of mine
and who worships your dad.
Yeah, I've known Josh since I was a little kid
and my dad's known Josh since he was a little kid.
Josh Fritz is just the god of drums and.
Perfect circle and all that stuff.
I've never met him, but I.
Yeah, great guy, played with Devo, Dweezel.
He's actually probably one of the, like he's on more records
than you have, than you know.
Like he's played with everyone from Avril Lavigne
to Rob Zombie to the van.
I mean, the Vandals is his band, you know what I mean?
Like all this crazy stuff, you know, nine inch nails.
He played, I saw him tour with nine inch nails twice.
Everyone.
He's, he basically.
Yeah, Lee.
Yeah, Lee.
You're supposed to have the headphones on.
You need the headphones.
He's got the headphones on his belly.
Look, like he's, like he's X-raying his balls.
Like he's going to give birth to a child
and he wants the child to impart this information
before he comes into the world.
Lee, it's time for Tony Bennett, Lee.
I think we need to breathe in.
Look, yeah.
Lee, get a close up of you on there.
It's so fucking funny.
Oh my God.
Lee.
Double hits at Liquid Acid, Lee.
I love it.
Oh yeah.
Want some more chocolate, Lee?
They're coming to the headphones?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at this for me.
Look at me.
I wanna be around
to pick up the pieces
when somebody breaks your heart.
Some somebody is twice as smart.
Oh shit.
We're going deep here tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
Fucking, Lee's making noises.
But somebody who in a while ago
Capital Theater, here you go.
Capital Theater, OK, I'll ask him about that.
Oh, that's a famous spot.
Capital Theater in the 80s, January.
January 21st, 1980, I'm Money Dog.
You're killing it, man.
I'm Money Dog.
January 21st, Missing Persons at Capital Theater
in Pasek, New Jersey, which in 1983,
you had balls just to even think of Pasek.
Yeah, Pasek was no fucking...
Wow.
And I saw the Scorpions there
with Michael Shankman and Rainbow.
Love Drive Tour or about Blackout?
I was a kid.
I was a kid.
And I'm not going to tell you I went there because I knew.
Yeah, right.
I went there because three people had tickets before
and they said, you know what?
And I never seen the score.
I didn't know who to fuck.
I never heard a song.
Diorambo.
Yes.
Yeah.
I love that record.
Tarot Woman.
Dude, all the stuff.
Oh my God, Tarot Woman.
Stargazer.
Stargazer.
It's only like a six-song record.
It's era six or seven.
And it's only $400 on iTunes.
You want me to tell you something, bro?
Who's ever had a hot lip on the water?
What was it?
Yeah, that's on there.
What song is that?
That's...
That's not Rainbow.
Oh, I see his face.
Yeah.
That's a song.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a song.
That's a song.
That's a song.
That's a song.
Yeah, I love that one, man.
When we leave.
Yeah.
I believe.
Yeah.
I believe.
That's a great song.
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
and then you know that.
Please find that, will you, please?
It's on that record.
It's for the B.R.A. League.
Oh, what do I do?
What do I do?
Rainbow.
Stargazer.
Yeah.
See if you find that shit.
That's a fucking song.
Who the fuck do you think you're dealing with?
It is.
All right.
You think I just rolled off the fucking banana boat?
Like, I'm going to go hang out with Eddie Trunk.
You know what I'm saying?
I did Eddie Trunk show last year.
It was wild, man.
Nah, you got to get me on Eddie Trunk.
I'll get you on.
Let's do it.
Oh, you're going to New York.
I'll set it up.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you're doing, I'll set it up.
It's only on Mondays, though, at eight o'clock.
We're getting there on fucking Wednesday.
Wednesday.
Hey, well, maybe you can do it's Friday night show
at midnight after your gig.
Done.
All right, I'll text him now.
Done, done.
I love all.
You finally, Rainbow.
Stargazer.
I think it's Stargazer.
Yeah, oh, it's so great.
Oh!
It's on.
A lot of people don't know about this shit.
Oh, I love that one.
To me, it's a little creepy.
Like the rest of the album is deep, you know.
Listen, whenever you put Richie Blackmore in the mix,
remember, he, they said he was cousins with Jimmy Page.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just black magic and shit.
Yeah.
But that's why nobody ever lasted that.
He never had a fucking singer.
Every two albums, they disappeared, of course, you know.
Oh, okay, get it up there.
And then let me look at the track list real quick.
Okay.
Yeah, Richie Blackmore has played with more people
than a lot of people have met.
Is he dead?
No, he's killing it right now.
They just got back together and he found this singer
who's like 30, who sounds exact, it's unbelievable.
Who's this guy?
Let's see this one.
You gotta see it.
Yeah, let's see this one.
Yeah, I think this is it.
Yeah, this is it.
LaCosy Powell.
Oh, shit, that's right.
There he is, dude.
Five foot tall.
LaCosy.
Yo!
Oh!
Yeah!
Put the earphones on, Lee.
Watch the rainbow, watch the rainbow, look at it shilling.
Oh, dear.
I can help you, George.
Oh!
Look at that fucking backdrop.
I knew no one'd sell my song.
The fringe on his fucking shirt.
Shit!
Like a fucking...
I'm breaking my bed.
Yeah.
There's no sun on the shadow of the wizard.
Lee, if you're not looking at this, you're not doing that.
Here it is, right here.
Lee, watch.
Lee.
Oh!
I believe in you.
I believe in you.
I believe in you.
Beautiful, hey, you got it.
Oh!
It's like heat in the rain.
Look at those platforms.
The feeling, look at them beautiful.
Rest in peace, pour her out for DL.
So many times, we feel a ton of snow.
Oh, this is killing.
When I'm flexing.
That's Don Erie.
Is it not?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.
That's Don Erie.
That's LaCosy Guy.
He's got Don Erie.
And he's got Cosy Powell.
Look at this shit, Lee.
Look at the backdrop.
And as much shit as I love to talk,
Richie Black wants sensation on this, too.
Kill!
Listen to the solo on this, sensational on this, Paul.
Yes!
Put the earphones on, Lee, please, Raymond, please.
He's got to feel this in his boat.
If not, he'll never make it to the next level.
When the Iranians capture him, he'll fall apart at the scene.
Yeah, I used to catch you, dude.
DL, that's dope.
Let's go, five, five, six.
I hope I think it's Don Erie.
I'm not sure.
Yeah.
I don't know who's playing the bass,
but he's got to be a monster to the opposite block more.
Yeah.
With winter change, just to see him fly.
So many dives.
Go, Lee, it was a power of bullshit.
Same thing.
Without flesh and bone.
Here comes the solo.
Right here.
Take notes, cops suckers.
This is the Ritchie Blackmore on this fucking savage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're going to finish the rest, as Lee.
We're going deep tonight.
Yeah.
Oh, shit, Lee, look at the fires.
His headphones off again, man!
He doesn't like the Satan music!
Satanly!
Listen, listen to him!
No Richie Blackmore, no Inve Moustache.
Tonya, I'm taking you into murky waters to have people.
Alyssa Cozzi Powell here, watch this shit!
This is when fucking musicians were fucking musicians.
Here we go!
Listen to these fucking drums, people, what's coming up right here.
This is what I grew up with, cock suckers.
Here you go!
Music
All eyes to the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
Golly, cock suckers!
As he falls instead of rising
Rising!
Then he's still, then there's blood on his hand
All eyes to the figure of the wizard
Don't make it tougher, you'll be fine.
Breathe it out, Lee, breathe it out.
I have no idea what's happening.
Breathe it, you'll need to know what's happening.
All the soul of Italy compressed into a five foot two man.
Maybe four eleven, I don't know, I could be anywhere in the world.
He's just killing it, look at his moves.
It's one of the best human beings on the planet to ever have lived.
In the heat and rain
With whips and chains
You'll see him fly
So many times
There was a tower of stone
Leave your phones out, Lee.
Tough it out, tough it out, cock suckers.
What are you doing?
Breathe it out, cock suckers, right here.
And why?
What a tune.
Oh my god.
Lee, why did so many die just to see him fly?
Can you tell me why?
The backdrop changed.
The backdrop fucking changed.
Well, everything changes.
These motherfuckers put together 18 concerts in for once.
Shit.
Listen to the keyboard.
This is just tremendous music, man.
I'll never let this shit go.
Never. I don't give a fuck.
It's so crazy how I got this on my iPod.
Oh, I fucking love it.
I've got Rainbow's greatest hits.
I love listening to this shit on my iPod on a plane.
If you're not fucking with this album, I can't be talking to you.
It's crazy, right?
I'm listening to this shit on the iPod now.
Sierra Woman?
Would they do that?
Yeah.
I'm the fucking elliptical?
Yeah.
You go crazy with this shit.
You just start marching.
I just put this on three or four times in a row.
It's eight minutes apiece, so.
Yeah.
Something long.
Breathe, Lee, out of your nose.
Out of your mouth.
Out of your nose?
What are you saying, Lee?
Into your nose.
How many stars did you eat?
You only took a thousand milligrams.
I need more, yeah.
He needs more, I said.
I think I need some more.
Yeah?
I think we should start.
How fucking great was that?
Every time we do music.
Because we just saw stargazer, so I mean, it only fits.
I was going to say though, you have like the best taste in music.
Everything you post, whether it's like the 90s rap,
whether it's the cameo, whether it's the, you know, the fricking,
what is it, you know, the tool, sound guard, you know?
I mean, all that stuff.
We grew up when all the music was good.
That SOS band you played.
Oh my God.
That put me in a state of shock.
Well, that's the other one.
Early in the morning, Gap Band.
That's the one I love, man.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
If you are depressed, you listen to that song,
smoke a bowl, fucking drink a little bit of coffee,
get your shit together, and the world is your bitch.
Oh, yeah.
Right up there, Lee.
Click that one up in the top.
Grand Bonnet.
Yeah, yeah.
Click that one all the way on the right.
All the way on the right.
There you go.
Since you've been gone.
Killer.
No, no.
I want to see, I want to see all night long.
Oh, yeah.
All night long.
Look at it.
He's got dual wristbands.
Wearing the metal wristbands.
He was probably the first drummer to do that.
Yeah, right?
All night long.
With rainbow all night long.
Right there.
That's a good.
Watch this.
Watch this.
This guy crushes.
And all night long.
Grand Bonnet.
They fucking go bananas.
Sang with Shanker, too.
Who else do you sing with?
Yeah, he sang with Shanker.
I have a problem with fucking Richie Blackmore.
He's like a plague.
He just fucking gets rid of people.
Where is it?
Not Shanker.
Not Shanker.
If you didn't get rid of so many people, we wouldn't have so many great bands.
Like, I mean, dude, deep purple, perfect strangers.
Fuck yeah.
I love that one.
Jesus Christ.
No, the Alcatraz with Ingve, Grand Bonnet and Ingve Alcatraz.
That one.
That's a killer.
That's a killer album.
The second.
I think my mom was working capital those days.
She has like an autograph.
The top one.
The top one.
The top one to breathe.
Will you stop, Lee?
Drink some fucking water.
Stop making noises.
People going deep.
Man mode.
Yeah.
Watch this, Lee.
Watch this.
This guitar is great.
Kick this from the, kick this mule from the beginning, Lee.
Yeah.
How many milligrams am I right now?
Who knows?
Kick the volume, Lee, because you need the guitar.
Look at this thing.
Look at this.
Bam, bam, bam, bam.
Yeah.
Miami Vice look.
Damn.
Oh.
Yeah.
Look how cool he is.
Turn it up, Lee.
White suit.
Turn this on, Lee.
Look at Grand Bono.
Looking better than John Travolta.
And that's the bass player from Deep Purple.
Yes.
Yes.
This band is strong.
Yeah.
This is strong.
I don't know how long Grand Bono lasts.
A year and a half.
All those guys.
All those guys last one album.
Oh.
He's like Stallone.
He's killing it.
Yeah, right.
Peace.
Wow.
Oh, shit.
There you go, Lee.
A little hot mama for you.
Oh, me?
Lee's sweating.
His face is red, Lee.
You need to see a doctor.
Yeah.
No.
Okay.
Get up.
Sit up.
Get your posture going.
You want some water?
You want a beer?
No.
Wanna touch it?
Wanna feel ya?

Here we go.
Here we go, you fucking savages.
Kick this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at traditional grip.
Yeah.
Clive Burr.
Cosy Pell.
Yeah, he switched around.
It wasn't uncommon for a lot of guys from his era to switch back and forth.
Right, I'm pretty sure he was playing match for that last video.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, that's a difference.
That's a different keyboard player.
Different guy.
Yep.
See if there's a difference.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, that's a difference.
That's a different keyboard player.
Different guy.
Yep.
See if there's a difference.
Different guy.
Yep.
See if there's filthy animals.
Yeah.
See if I'm not playing it for you.
I really am.
You what?
I'm already trying.
I'm already trying.
Grandpa, it's a new wave.
Trying to do what?
Trying to do what?
What are you feeling?

Wanna touch you?
Wanna feel you?
Wanna make you mine.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Yeah.
Watch Cozy.
Here we go.
And his guitar on this is great too.
Let's kill him.
I love it.
Thanks for his killing.
So you don't, you don't get much of that in rock bands anyway, that floor tom, you know,
riding on the floor tom a little bit.
Look at this shoe.
He got wrestling shoes on.
Capizia.
Oh, for sure.
All those guys wore wrestling shoes.
Nico.
What was this?
He really got what he's playing.
That guy kills.
I love Perfect Strangers.
Ian Gillen.
We gotta play that fella.
That is a fucking masterpiece, man.
This is a fucking rainbow night tonight, people.
We didn't even know I was going to go rainbow.
Richie Blackmore.
We were going to talk about Bill Withers.
Thank God we got the rainbow.
with us. Thank God we got the rainbow. Look at this shit. Lee's done. Lee is done.
Perfect Strangers is the best. You want to go see the doctor? I think I'm okay. I just
perfect strangers. What's the matter? And the music videos is the best. Lee, get on
the keypad. Lee, put on Perfect Strangers. Oh my God, it's the best. Perfect. I love
that fucking record so much. Guys, you're getting the fucking rainbow schooling tonight.
This is a band that had different musicians on every album. They probably lasted like
12 years as a tyrant. This black. Lee, you don't leave your fucking hydra. I have no
idea. He's too fast. Put on Perfect Strangers. Please. These purple. Perfect Strangers.
Okay, I listen to that song. This is Ian Gillon. So they do rainbow. He breaks up perfect.
Then they get back together. Then they get back together. Because he had half a fucking
deep purple anyway with him. Ian Gillon was like Sabbath in. Yeah, he did the porn again
which was fucking one of my favorites. I remember I put that on and it sounded like
he was singing with a stomach ache and I just turned it off. I love that record. But here
we go. Perfect Strangers. Lee, come on. Let's go. Perfect. P.R. at the top. Perfect Strangers.
Right at the top there. Right there. Right there. Right there. Right there. Right there.
Right there. Right there. Right the first video on the top.
There you go. There you go. There you go. I do it.
Frank that motherfuckers. Here to rank that M month fuckers. Frank this mule 23. Light
up.gasps some incense right now. The B three the bucket bowling theyihePods, here's when
they all got back together. I don't know what year this was. I think it's like 8089. No.
Oh look at this, this sounds good it sounds too, oh the Porsche 928 sick and they're just
chilling in the mansion that they're renting to fucking do this studio or do this out.
Yeah, yeah, this is a great video, yeah I forgot this, it's great.
Chilling in the pub underneath, probably in the fucking basement.
Look at these yellow Jesus Christ, yeah look at these guys, yeah look at these guys.
Ian.
Sick.
Leap with the earphones, I gotta hear this, this'll change your life.
Look how Richie shows up, hey guys, we're getting the band back together.
Yeah, cozy was gone.
Yep, and look at Ian, with the headband, come on, biker.
And he's like smoking cigarettes in between takes two, six.
We're in a Hawaiian shirt.
I know it's crazy, rocket, beef.
This guy didn't give a fuck.
Six girls waiting in the other room to suck his dick.
No joke.
This was a monster hit.
This MTV took this.
Yep.
This is towards the end of MTV.
Totally.
This is all MTV production right here.
Cause then they took it back to just playing music.
Listen to him, listen to Blackmore on here.
We've got to understand that we must remain perfect strangers.
Fucking tremendous.
This part, this part's in nine.
Same part.
Nine nine eight everybody.
Get a music education right here.
Right here.
It's great.
Total Zeppelin.
Five, six, seven, eight.
I'm about to want to walk into that bar.
Yeah.
Where the fuck was this at these guys in this place?
That's in the basement of this fucking mansion, for sure, bro.
Yeah, it's got a pub.
Yeah, they got it all.
They got a farm, they got a fucking soccer field.
Their manager flew out the ladies for them.
They don't have to do a damn thing.
They got so much money to make this album.
Are you kidding me?
Look at the pool that could have skated it.
Exercise boy.
Look at that Joey.
They're on that future tip.
Singing's got to keep in shape.
But when you go on tour, you have to be in top physical.
Like to sit down and look at Dean and go,
Dean, we're going to be on a bus for six months, blow heroin.
It's four shows a week.
Yep.
We have three off.
We got a hotel.
You can do whatever the fuck you want.
You know what you're going to do those three nights,
because you're young and stupid.
Yeah.
And you just keep the party alive until you burn out.
You just burn out.
That's it.
And then once you burn out, you know it.
Once you burn out, then you call the fellas back and go,
hey, Raymond, I'm sorry I called you a cocksucker on the last tour.
Dean, I'm sorry, I hate you with the guitar in the head.
You know what I'm saying?
That's happened to me.
I've been hitting the head by a bass headstock.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Slammed right down on my head.
One of my childhood best friends, good times.
Oh, there they are playing songs.
Now you're in a band now.
That's rock and roll.
Yeah.
What's the name of the band now?
I play in a couple bands.
The main one is Secret Black, which is two Israeli guys,
like legit Israeli motherfuckers.
And then the bassist is from L.I.
I'm from L.I.
And they're kind of like big fish in a small pond in Israel,
so they had enough of it.
They wanted to do some shit in America.
I met them oddly enough at this like ultimate jam night thing
at the Lucky Strike.
Yeah.
I played Rainbow in the Dark by Dio.
And the singer saw me and he came up to me right after
and he's like, I love your playing.
You know, you're amazing.
I think you'd be perfect for a band, blah, blah, blah,
you know, this and that.
So it told me kind of what the deal is.
And Lee is tripping out so hard.
I love Lee.
I love Lee because he comes and goes.
It's like perfect.
Lee will be totally normal for a little bit.
And all of a sudden he'll just go, ah.
You hear that?
It's like a zombie.
It's like the walking dead.
I love it.
Hilariously.
Hilariously.
I told you this week we're going deep.
I told you to hug the girlfriend and kiss the dog
and the whole thing.
Lee, is this the highest you've ever been?
This is not high.
This is not favorite.
All the quivers are going to say it's like edibles.
It's not edibles.
What is it?
Oh my God, this is acid.
What does it feel like?
Oh.
She's probably having all sorts of crazy visions.
Oh my God.
What do you see?
Look at the screen, Lee.
It's so good right here.
We'll turn off the lights, Lee.
That's okay.
Let me look at the screen.
Don't want to turn the lights off.
Look at the screen, Lee.
Look at the screen, Lee.
It's killer.
Yeah.
No, deep purple.
This is the other hit on the record.
Knock it on your back door.
I'm knocking on your back door.
Yeah, it's got some action to it.
It's killer.
No, they got together for this.
I don't know what tour this was.
I didn't even know he was still touring Richie Black.
Yeah.
I heard Eddie Trunk say that right now.
I just heard him say this today.
It was quality trunk.
I was waiting for the baby to come to the car.
And he was talking about how right now, every, he was talking about a percentage of bands
from the 70s and 80s who have gotten back together who were touring or making a living
this summer.
Yeah.
He said, there's such a surprising fucking amount.
I just saw Huey Lewis is coming back.
Man, he's killing it.
I saw a clip last night.
Huey Lewis is back.
Wow.
Dude, you're in a question.
They're all 16 fucking years old.
Yeah.
Which somebody must have came to them and said, guys, these kids, they do their peluses.
And the peluses.
And that's it.
That's where the money's at for the year.
You guys can make money all summer.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Casinos.
Casinos.
And they're everywhere fucking smashing.
Yeah.
And I was, where was I last week?
Denver.
Yeah.
Red Rocks.
Somebody's going.
Huey Lewis and like three bands from the 80s.
Yeah.
And they go, they sell them tickets.
He goes, it's more of a QRRQ type promotional event.
But he goes, let me tell you what happens.
Nice weather.
People want to get nostalgic.
And that's why I look at you and go, what the fuck.
My friends from high school went to see the Go-Go's last night down the Jersey Shore.
Yeah.
They got, right now they got that.
She called me last week.
She goes, do you have a minute?
She goes, I was thinking about you.
Guess what I have in my hand.
At least you're going to tell me a picture or something.
She goes, no.
Six tickets for the fucking Go-Go's next Sunday night.
The Desert Women are getting back together.
These girls, we used to call the Desert Women.
Desert Women.
You see the Go-Go's.
Yeah.
And she goes, remember gone?
I go, October of 83 with the flock of seagulls at the guard.
We paid $15 for tickets.
You know, we went to hear four songs.
Oh yeah.
The Go-Go's.
That's the type of music I went to.
Yeah.
Because I was open.
I was open.
I love that stuff.
If you don't got love for that, if you don't got love for Dio, if you don't got love for
Tupac, you know what I mean?
You got to be able to dig all that kind of music.
All that shit.
There's good in every genre.
Men at work.
There's good in every era.
Men at work.
Yeah.
Dude.
I mean, you name it.
Phil Collins, dude.
I'll tell you who I didn't see.
Phil Collins is a murderer.
I'll tell you who I didn't see though.
I felt fucking really bad in excess.
Oh.
I heard in 87 in excess.
They did a tour.
They were killing it.
That's when it was time.
You know, by 85, I got out of it, guys.
Yeah.
Like it would take me, you know, what became going, listen, I grew up in an era where Dean
Delroy would call me at 10 after sex and go coax.
You got a minute?
Yeah.
Listen, listen, listen.
Nobody knows about this.
The Stones.
I'm going to play in the village, but they're playing under the rusty nail and it's three
dollar tickets.
Let's go over that.
My friend just called me from the record label.
You had shit like that.
Yeah.
That made it exciting.
Very in those days, I tell people all the time.
Okay.
Secret chefs.
WPLJ will go.
It represents the who have managed the square garden.
Grab a pen.
You send $12.95 for tickets, $15 for tickets, postage and handling.
Everything is in glue.
$15 for tickets.
It's in the $60 because Reigning is only allowed to get four tickets for Reigning, four tickets
for Dean Delroy.
So we have to scramble to borrow money and I'd get four, you'd get four.
So we just wait to see what night we get.
Yeah.
So it was three nights.
More than usual, we were going to go all three nights.
We were goombas on the deal.
You pay $60, so it was something different.
There was no $82 parkings.
No.
It was walking up to Sears and Roebuck and getting a bus and that bus took into New York
City and you walked to the garden or you took a train.
I remember still taking a train to the garden and seeing like, I can't describe the feeling.
I can't describe to America that feeling of going on a train and thinking you're going
somewhere special, but that whole car has a ghetto blast or a highway to hell or somebody's
playing weekend warriors and you're like.
And everybody's singing along.
Everybody's singing.
I'm just training in New York.
To me in 1979 as a kid it brought tears to my eyes.
I'm like, this is what America's about.
Even though we're getting high and half of the kids are on acid and half of the kids
are just blowing off steam, but they're not hitting each other and not shooting each other.
They just down the fucking concert and you went to the front and nine out of 10 times
you waited until the concert started.
You had it down to the time eight, 10, eight, 10, they got to dump those tickets.
Yeah.
Doug, come here.
Let me talk to you now.
Let me highlight you.
I give you this ticket for 17.
I don't want to talk to you.
Come on, Doug.
Give me five.
Now you got three dudes barking at you that weren't going to sell and you catch you miss
the opening act, but you catch as you're walking in the band you went to see is on stage.
Now I got a call fucking ticket box and you look at the price of the tickets and you go
really?
Whoa, right?
So you pay an extra $9 and then the day that you go, you got to walk up to the thing, you
know, half of these fucking places have noise ordinances.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You got to play low.
You got to play till 10 o'clock and get off.
Curfew.
Curfew.
No, of course.
Sorry, guys.
You have any five dollar beers?
You know, I'm the teacher, Mr. Totoro, and he would, Mr. Terranova, and he would tell
us stories about, you know, going to see the almonds and all of a sudden special guests
in the house, Santana, and you didn't leave.
No, no.
You didn't leave because then Lizzie walked in and they're sitting in the back and you're
like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
I'm watching Santana and then Lizzie's on the phone and some guys passing fucking speed
out.
Black beauty's out.
Yeah.
You know, those, you didn't know it was an adventure.
It's an adventure.
I lost the adventure, you know, I lost that because I remember getting excited, having
a date and going, let's go see Alanis Morissette.
I'll never forget this.
The tickets were $65 and I go, whoa, the girl's like, let's go and I go, I paid 1550 for Floyd
the War.
Yeah, yeah.
How can I pay 65 for Alanis Morissette?
I paid 15 for Prince, Sheila E., and Nucleus.
I would have paid 15 just to hear them do jam on it.
I would have paid the 15 like they did do jam on it for two fucking hours.
Are you fucking men, dude?
I can't understand it.
And I know that, you know, as a comedian, you need to make money and stuff like that,
but I know what I get from $25 and I'm pretty fucking happy.
Yeah.
And I understand you got to travel with roadies and there's a lot of costs that I don't fucking
see.
Yep.
But, you know, the Eagles a couple of years ago, 15 years ago, they started it.
Yeah, they were the $100 ticket.
250.
250, yeah.
250.
On 96.
And people were going, they're not going to sell out.
Guess what?
Yeah.
People paid 250 for those tickets, that Seinfeld generation, that's when they threw Blondie
out.
They took Blondie and they go, the first time you, we even see a rolling paper.
You're done.
We got a guitarist waiting to fucking replace you for $10,000 a night.
Yeah.
We're giving you 250 that we don't even want to fucking give you, don't get us, we don't
give a fuck if you wrote the rips to Hotel California, that was a long time ago.
Yeah.
That was 74.
Yeah.
It's 99, bitch.
You better get your clock fixed.
What's that guy's name?
Bernie Tumman.
Don Felder.
Don Felder.
I always goof on him because he came back thinking it was still a part of, like, guys, Hotel
California, like, no, dog, we got suits on and haircuts, go get a haircut, take a shower.
You know, you've been in fucking Laurel, where you've been in Laurel Canyon for 10 years?
And the two brothers argued, the drummer and the other guy said, listen, man, we've been
doing movies, we've been doing solo albums.
You motherfuckers been living off residuals because all of a sudden classic rock came on
and, you know, classic rock stations try to play in our music.
So you got a checkery month.
Yeah.
You motherfuckers don't want to do nothing.
We're fucking, Don Henley's doing this, Don Henley's fucking Cheryl Crow.
You know, nobody remembers Cheryl Crow was in the Don Henley band first.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or Michael Jackson, then Don Henley.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yep.
You know, nobody's photo of the eagle sits on the long run.
Tremendous.
Look how cool.
They look like Leonard Skinner.
They're tremendous.
They lived a fucking life, a California life.
Joe Walsh.
How much of a bad ass is Joe Walsh?
He's the best.
Jesus Christ.
He's the best.
That song, man.
Life's been good to me.
Like James gang, get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fuck 49.
Oh, man.
Walk away.
Oh, dude.
That fucking record.
I put it on all the time.
The black and white one, whether he's sitting on the Harleys.
Jesus.
She's just like record.
Like he doesn't have to lift a finger and he's the coolest.
He's so original.
Right when he comes on.
Yeah, that's Joe Walsh.
Yeah.
You know.
Yeah.
Fucking cool.
How we doing?
You want some water, buddy?
Can I get a little more water, man?
Sure, sure.
I'm cool.
I'm cool.
You want to be a Malina, right?
It is.
It is.
You got a cold down there?
I don't know what's cold down there.
I'll take one.
Here, here.
You want this one?
You want a colder?
Whatever it doesn't make.
You want cold?
This is fine.
Okay, colder one.
I got cold.
This is a new experience, man.
This is different than last time.
Tell us about your experience.
Do you want to know?
I haven't been here the whole time.
People at home want to know.
I know.
This is the first time we've heard from you.
Tell us about what you're going through so people at home can feel it.
Did I give the shout-outs yet?
No, I never gave the shout-outs.
You tell us after we do the shout-outs, all right?
Edward Anaya, Scotty G, Jason Valencia, Jim Nunya, Timmy Holloway Jr. and motherfucking
senior, Renee Vogel Jr., Christian Aldana and Crystal and Bobby down there in Austin,
holding it fucking down for us until we get there a month from today.
We got our plane tickets today for Austin, Texas, September 15th through the motherfucking
17th.
Can you eat some chewy's for me?
Lee's coming down to fucking stand on line.
Hell yeah.
I'm not standing on no fucking lines.
My family left Cuba so I don't have to stand on a fucking line.
I don't give a fuck, Jack.
I'm happy you came on.
Thank you for having me, man.
This has been an honor.
A lot of people don't realize I've listened to Joey's podcast for a long time.
Where are you from?
You got an accent.
I'm from LA.
I mean, I lived in Austin for a little while.
Most people say I have a West Coast accent.
Everybody thinks I sound like fucking Keanu Reeves.
No, he sounds great.
I can do that.
When the kids get a fucking trip, I don't know what I sound like.
I'm serious.
Fucking Puerto Rican Martians.
So many people said don't even worry about it.
But anyway, yeah, man.
When you're 10, what are you thinking about your dad?
I'm thinking my dad's a pretty cool guy.
It's pretty cool that my dad's a drummer.
I was down with that.
I was into martial arts and stuff as a little kid.
More superheroes, all that bullshit.
Was he around?
Yeah, yeah.
He was around pretty much until my parents got divorced when I was 18.
Oh, wow.
So he was around your whole time?
Yeah, for the most part.
I mean, he was on the road a lot too.
So there was a lot of strong connection with my mom.
That's why I relate definitely to Joey.
He had that kind of thing going with his mom.
You said she brought you to music a lot of the times.
My mom would bring me to all these concerts.
You know what I mean?
Take me to see every band I want.
Yeah, man.
So it was really cool, man.
But anyway, before we talk about my parents.
How was it having like...
Yeah, so my dad...
So at 11 is when I was like, I want to play drums, right?
But it wasn't necessarily because of my dad.
I saw like a pop punk band music video, this band called Sum 41.
And they were like, you know, like kind of like playing some like punk rock shit and
then like rapping.
So I was like, dang, like I'm super down with this.
The sun's tight.
Lee, tell us some cold water on your face.
And they are...
I love rain, man.
He's weird.
I love rain.
Rain keeps touching him every time.
He's like, you know, he's a good dude.
He's a good dude, dog.
He cares about you.
I want to make sure Lee's with us.
I'm cool.
I'm just like rocketing through space.
Now what is going on in your world?
Lee, you haven't told me.
Okay, I can tell you.
I'm right.
I'm right.
Tell me what's going on right now.
I have no connection.
My feet aren't anywhere.
Your feet aren't anywhere.
No, my whole body's just been shaking the whole time.
I saw it.
It's all shaking.
He's bouncing his legs.
It's awesome.
Do you want to know the star, Lee?
I don't know.
Are you sure?
How many stars have you eaten?
The acid is just burning right through those stars.
You broke your own record side, didn't you?
Like 1400, you think?
Who knows?
Who gives a fuck at this point?
We're just going deep into the mirror.
I ate two of those candy bars.
That's got to be 400 milligrams.
We had like four or five fucking stars.
I love how you're just totally normal.
It's awesome.
I'm used to this.
This is my world.
That is awesome.
This is my world.
Two hits of acid.
20 stars.
You're like, yes.
So I remember 83.
And I'm just like, what?
And Lee's over here.
It's like, ah!
Lee's moaning like fucking me.
Oh my God.
He used to do this every night.
He said, he would tell me.
He would be like, he'll call me tonight and be like, dude, I used to do this every night
for like 90 days.
Yeah.
When I was 16 and my mother died.
Oh no.
And I had all these problems.
This is how I healed.
Yeah.
I healed.
Are you vibrating the whole time?
Huh?
I haven't stopped vibrating.
I would go home and be cooking on this and then get a gram of blow and listen to Black
Sabbath and cry, going through changes.
Yeah.
I would put on the wall and cry.
I'd put on the, ah.
Oh, you're sore tomorrow.
You know, the first Ozzy album.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
That was my voice.
Yeah.
I said, are your muscles tensing up?
I think so.
This is my world, guys.
This is where people never understand.
I love it, dude.
This is why.
I love it.
This is why.
I love it.
I think he needs another star.
I think we.
I think that people think we fuck around.
Yeah.
And I think that a lot of young kids, you know, a couple of years ago I went on Doug Benson
and fucking smoked 80 Bungits and people looked at me like, you know, okay, so now we got
that cup.
You're a fucking savage.
Yeah.
Like from un, how did this come about?
Because I'm 53.
Yeah.
And I've been doing this since I was 16.
Never stopped.
You didn't have a dry period.
Never stopped.
Ah.
I went to prison.
Right.
I didn't blow, but I did a couple of hits of acid because the librarian was like you.
He was a dude with glasses.
He had killed his wife and the mailman and he was this fucking smart guy.
And one night he was like, I got acid.
He was like a hippie guy.
Like grateful that guy.
Yeah.
You know, when I was growing up, acid was two bucks.
Yeah.
It was dollar bill.
You could always come up with two bucks.
Yeah.
I remember that.
You know, I got a buck.
Well, can you borrow me a buck, Dean?
Yeah.
You owe me a buck, cock sucker.
And I'm buying you a beer tonight.
Yeah.
It's gonna be a life for two bucks.
Two bucks.
And you would go home and listen to music.
Yeah.
You know, you would handle yourself and the first couple of times it was rough.
You lose out, you lose it, but you lose it with your friends in public and they would
control you.
Yeah.
You know, I'm a downtown dude.
Those downtown dudes, dirty Irish dudes, but there was like Carlos Perez and Anthony Sabatino.
And there was a time when we were snorting that fucking angel dust.
Oh yeah.
You could call it whatever you want, THC, Crystal, whatever they called it today.
It's angel dust.
It was now today looking back.
PCP, right?
Yeah.
It was PC.
It was horse tranquilizer that they would boil and it would look like coke.
Yeah.
And you would get for $10.
I smoked that shit.
It was unbelievable.
$10.
Me, you and Dean would fucking see the devil for five hours.
We would disappear.
And then for another three, we would know who we were and where we were, but everything
was shaky till about 10 hours later.
Like if you smoked it, like I smoked it once in a joint with a pregnant chick.
Yeah.
In Harlem at lunchtime.
Pregnant chick.
At 10 o'clock I was in a bar, still like fucking tweaked up and then I remember one
time dipping a joint in formaldehyde.
That was big in the seventies.
Wow.
People selling you joints from formaldehyde.
That it tasted like.
Lung burner.
Yeah.
If you were going to get fucked up, your lungs were never going to be the same.
My lungs were never the fucking same after that.
That's why I blow those clouds.
My lungs will never be the same.
You know, and people don't understand that.
Like I would buy a hundred hits of acid and in the budget, I would know I was going to
eat 20 of them because my tolerance was so fucking high.
And then I went on a Quailude binge for a year or so.
Most people were eating one Quailude.
I was eating three, three and a half and I had a bunny Ferney who was eating seven
and eight.
Whoa.
You know, there were people that were passing out on one and I had a friend that would pop
them all night long.
Wow.
In 1982, he was popping them like they were going out of fucking style.
Yeah.
Gorilla.
They keep popping them.
Driving a fucking 280Z.
Doing 90 on Kenny Boulevard.
Yeah.
Eating fucking Quailudes.
I'm sitting there going, we're going to crash this fucking car.
He would buy Coke and cut it so much that only he could snort it and it was like sheet
rock.
It was like snorting sheet rock.
And then the next morning I woke up and my fucking nostrils were glued together.
I couldn't breathe.
I had to call him up Ferney.
What the fuck are you selling?
Yeah.
What is that shit?
What the fuck is that?
What do you cut it?
Oh, I cut it seven for seven.
Seven for seven.
Seven for seven.
What are you fucking crazy?
You know, one of my nose is stuck fucking together.
Just baby.
Throw a gramer too.
You know, I get it.
But fucking seven for seven, you give me 42 percent.
Nobody that serves you a love coke.
He's making a million bucks on an eight ball.
It was fucking unbelievable.
He throws an eight ball into seven, eight balls.
And then I remember my body's doing a gram.
Like in those days, what do you got?
I got a G from Lee.
What do you got?
You got a G?
Okay.
Let's go get some beers.
You know, whoever, like at the end of the night, you would come up and go, you know,
I still got half of that.
I didn't do mine.
And you're like, really?
Let's go back to my place.
But I bring those two brats.
And all of a sudden you got like three quarters of it.
You're like, Jesus, didn't you do anything?
You're like, no, I don't.
I didn't do anything.
And you're like, all right.
And you know, you know, and all of a sudden I went to Aspen and my buddies would get eight
balls.
And I just trained myself.
I think we go, we're going to get an eight ball.
The guy's coming in, you know, we got to get an eight ball because you're not coming
in for another two weeks.
Two weeks.
I'm going to need an eight ball tomorrow.
We need two weeks.
I do an eight ball every Friday.
In a day.
You know, so it got to the point before I got arrested, it got to the point that I was
doing an eight ball just to get started.
Yeah.
I was doing tolerance before I got arrested.
Oh my God.
And then I took a breather, two or three month breather, four month breather, then I started
up again and I went deep.
And before I got sentenced, I was doing four grams a night from 12 to eight.
Yeah.
I'm going to lie to you.
I'm going to lie to you.
I had a coke dealer that lived downstairs and he hid it in the jacket, you know, and
he would put an ounce in there and free base it.
Yeah.
So he wouldn't know what he was doing.
So when he, I saw him free base and I just go take an eight or seven because I knew the
next morning was going to wake up and go, man, I weighed my shit this morning.
I only have three grams.
I smoked a lot.
I smoked a lot.
I do that to him constantly, constantly.
It was sickening.
Then I got locked up and I came out and I was even worse because I got locked up and
I knew shit for 14 months.
Oh.
So the whole time I'm like, I'm off of it.
Fuck no.
Yeah.
As soon as I hit fresh air, I was like, God, I got to do a lot of fucking blow this air
is fucking my nose up and shit.
Yeah.
And I went right into it.
Halfway house.
And I'd never stopped after that.
Like by 90, I just had a talk of my zone and I was like, listen, who are you kidding?
Who are you kidding?
You're going to keep doing blow.
It's in your blood.
You love it.
Yeah.
I accepted it.
I'm a junkie.
I accepted it.
Once I accepted it, I was a junkie in 1990, got into comedy.
Like I knew.
I knew I used to put it away in my budget.
Like at least you know.
These people keep saying, I'll never do this shit again.
I'm never hanging out with you guys two weeks from now.
They're at the rainbow.
Hey, man.
What's going on?
I thought you were cleaning.
So I gave it a shot.
It sucks.
Yeah.
Your friends don't call you back.
It sucks.
They're all.
Yeah.
When you're in the heat of it, it's tough to get out of it.
Board.
Oh, yeah.
There's a board and punch.
There's a point in your life and addiction that you're like, you couldn't even imagine
that world.
Yeah.
Like, what are you talking about?
Like, listen.
You know, the deer's house, we started over in an eight ball and an eighth of weed, you
know?
And you're like, what?
Yeah.
Like that was already like in the, I used to tell Lee, I used to, when I was a $15 comic
like at the store, like early on, like you're getting 45, you're getting three, four spots
a week.
That's $60.
I wouldn't get the main room in those days.
I wouldn't even ask because I would eat dick in there.
She would be walking by.
Yeah.
Why take the chance?
Yeah.
He's over there moaning and groaning.
You're all right.
I have no idea what's happening.
What's going on?
Zombie Lee.
What do you mean?
No idea what's happening.
I have no idea what's happening.
Sit down.
Sit up.
Sit up.
Talk to me.
Are you seeing anything right now?
Your eyes are closed.
Everything.
What are you seeing?
What are you seeing?
Well, he doesn't have his headphones on.
So he's not really hearing.
What are you seeing?
So many lights.
What are you seeing?
So many lights.
I know.
You want us to turn off the lights?
I told you.
You want me to turn off the lights?
You can if you want.
Okay.
I like the vibrant light.
Oh my God.
Put the light off.
Is that me?
No.
What's that mean?
By way of you.
What's that mean?
I love it.
I don't know.
I'm shaking that much.
You ain't shaking that much.
You're fine.
Is he really shaking?
His legs going like hopper.
Spamby.
What is wrong with you?
Do you want to go for a walk to the park?
Like oh and Benjamin?
No.
Oh my God.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I don't know if I'm shaking that much.
You ain't shaking that much.
You're fine though.
Is he really shaking?
His legs going like hopper.
I'm going to take you in the car and drop you off somewhere.
You can walk back.
No.
You just want to sit there and relax.
This is better.
All right.
You know, you're the boss.
You tell me what you want to do.
We do it.
I'm fine.
I'm just going to be scared.
But why are you making noises then?
I have no idea man.
I'm sorry.
I'll be myself.
You what?
I'll be myself.
You want another bong?
What do you want?
You want a star?
He mirrored himself.
Ha ha ha.
Turn yourself back on.
What's up man?
I'll take a star.
Bob Hensher.
I don't know if I really just don't hear those noises.
I'm trying to go as deep as anybody has ever gone on this podcast besides you guys.
Fuck yeah.
This is the only way to do it.
It's Monday night.
I want people to wake up on Tuesday morning and go, those guys are alive.
Those motherfuckers are alive.
They're talking about music, the purple fucking drugs and addiction, fucking prison.
I'm telling you.
Fucking Bob.
By 95, I had already in my head this ain't stopping.
There's seven nights in a week, I'll live with, if I could snort three of those nights,
I'll be happy.
One that I even snort a half gram, just to have conversation at the bar.
How are you going to go to a bar without a package?
No way.
There's no way.
I'm going to sit here by my, and then I think after like 2000, I just went with seclusion
with it.
I was just getting, I was telling Josh Wolf who we were talking about.
I didn't even want women at that point.
Because, wait a second, if you come over, first off, you're going to have to be there
for ten minutes.
I'm going to ask you to do something.
Yeah.
Because that's how I thought in those days.
And after that, I'm like, I'm going to want you around.
I got to figure out how to get ready.
Yes.
I can just go back to starting Bob.
Yeah.
Just go back to snorting Bob by myself, by my lonesome.
And then one day I just said, why go through all that?
Just don't even bring him home.
Yeah.
Wack off, look out the window, you know, get paranoid for an hour.
And then you fucking shoot a load in your hand.
Here's one of these, like, fuck was that?
You know?
Look it out the blind.
I heard something.
You checked the door lock like three fucking times.
Yeah, it's locked.
Back.
Is it locked?
Did I lock it?
Yeah, you just checked it.
Let me ask you something.
I saw a video of you doing a solo in Japan, Japan hour.
Yeah.
Oh, that was no.
That was in Mexico at a Japanese music festival.
Oh, okay.
But that was in Tijuana.
We played to a sold out crowd of 5,000 people, which was pretty fucking tight.
That was the biggest crowd we ever fucking played to.
Which band?
Another band of mine, the BMP, which is kind of like, you know, we kind of just do every
genre, you know, like the secret black is more kind of straightforward rock, like guns
and roses meets Pearl Jam meets, you know, a little bit of the more modern stuff.
And then, yeah, this BMP band, we literally do everything from jazz to funk to death metal
to reggae, you know, but everything kind of fits, you know.
And then I got another band called the big guys, too, which is like...
How many fucking bands you got?
Dude, drummer's got to stay employed, man.
We got to fucking keep that shit rotating.
And it's fun to play in different bands, too, because, like, it's hard to get your rocks
out just playing one band.
How do you remember all the songs?
Oh, drums, fucking easy, dude.
I remember, like, I mean, all the bands I'm playing in now, for the most part, stuff is
easy.
I used to play really progressive music when I was younger, like insane amount of...
Insane amount of...
Oh, yeah, like, tool, but I mean, even more, like, crazy and fast than that and, like,
try to really do some insane stuff for a while.
But tool is where I really, like, kind of cut my teeth in that progressive world.
I actually...
Me and my guitarist at the time, James, got to hang out with Adam Jones, the guitarist,
and Buzz from the Melvins.
They were jamming with my dad and Pat from Mass...
Pat from...
Pat Massalata from King Crimson, who's an insane drummer.
Two drums, two guitarists.
What were they doing that at?
They were doing it in Austin, and it was something that never kind of really saw the light of
day just because everybody kind of got busy, different things happen, you know what I mean?
But that experience of being around Adam, man, like, he shaped my life.
Like, at that age, I was 14, going into high school.
He told me, hey, don't do drugs, don't drink, play from your heart, don't get cocky, you know?
Adam said, don't do drugs?
Yeah, when I was 14 years old, you know what I mean?
And I stuck to that mantra until I turned 21.
And then I was like, alright, I'm going to see what this drinking thing's about.
And then, you know, I just let my life be free from there.
But like that, I owe him so much for that because it made me take music more seriously than anything.
Like, I wasn't going to parties in high school.
I went to a really rich, preppy, white, Christian, Republican, Texas high school.
And I was a metalhead with fucking long hair.
Are you living in Texas?
Yeah, yeah, when I went to high school.
When I went to school, for the most part.
But yeah, man, like, that whole experience made music kind of come first, you know what I mean?
We rehearsed every night instead of going and partying and doing this and that.
And I really owe him a lot for that.
Was your dad living in Texas?
Yeah.
We were all living over there.
What part, Austin?
Austin, yeah.
Oh, I gotcha.
Yeah, and that was the only place we could live.
But after the quake in 94, after the quake in 94, I was just about to start school.
They were like, man, school system in California is like 48th in the nation at the time or some shit like that.
Texas was like number two.
And the district we were in, hence all the rich, white Republicans was really fucking awesome.
It was really good high school.
But so much I've done with that diploma, you know what I mean?
And you're a full-time musician there.
I teach lessons.
I teach drum lessons as well.
And then I every now and then do a little bit of alcohol delivery to make some extra cash on the side because...
Will you do an app on that?
Like a liquor store?
Yeah, yeah, with like an app.
Like one of those like, it's kind of like an Uber type thing.
Uber booze?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
A lot of coke heads?
Yeah.
I mean, a lot of like repeat offenders, a lot of people who are, you know, come to the door like not knowing that they just ordered Uber
like 15 minutes ago.
You know what I mean?
Wow.
Yeah.
Whatever the thing is called.
I don't want to give them alcohol.
But yeah, anyway, that helps supplement the income because hopefully one of these days, these bands are going to kick off sooner than later.
I just started this secret black thing a little while ago.
So I feel pretty confident in that.
We've got a lot of opportunities.
I think we're going to be playing Israel next month, which is going to be tight because they're going to fly us ass.
They're going to fly our asses out and hopefully put us with a tight band opening for a really cool band.
I can't really say who it is, but if it does come true, it's going to be insane.
I'm really, really excited about that.
So, you know, it's like life is, you know, especially as a musician, as a comedian, you guys all know that stuff.
You know, it's full of like ups and downs and the.
Yeah.
Just as long as you're happy, man.
Nothing else matters.
Yeah.
I stay afloat just playing, man.
And that makes me happy as hell.
As long as I can play, I get to teach.
I get to, you know, do a little bit of side work over here and there and make it all work.
But I love my life for sure.
I'm happy as hell right now.
I got no complaints.
You know, I'm on my, one of my favorite podcasts of all time talking to two of my favorite comedians.
And Lee Syed over here is tripping off his fucking ball.
The second hit took him.
You got to see before I looked at him, his eyes were all big.
He had to look like fucking Walter Brinkley before he shot John Lennon.
The same type of look.
You all right, dog?
You want to get some man?
I don't know.
Fucking dreams come true, people.
I've dreamt about this.
I fucking want, you know, I've visualized this and fucking it happened, dude.
I can't fucking believe it.
So the day you hit me up and said, I can't believe you said that I'm Rogan's podcast about my dad.
My head almost blew up.
Yeah.
My fucking head almost blew up.
I'm like Twitter is filled with the most interesting people.
You don't know what the fuck you're going to write.
You don't know who the fuck you're going to.
How you doing?
You came out of your coma, Lee?
Lee comes up every three minutes.
Yeah.
Lee, what do you think?
Lee, what do you think?
A nice burger from Denny's will bring you back.
Sure.
With a raw onion, cheese burger, a little pickle.
What do you think, Lee?
I did some Denny's yesterday.
Huh?
I'm not hungry.
Well, this is how you kill that Sid by fucking eating a cheese burger from Denny's.
Some grease.
You got to laugh at the waitress because they're all retarded with Denny's.
Yeah.
Or we could go get you some wings or blue cheese from fucking the place.
What would you rather have to take this Sid down right now?
Have you had to eat something?
You want a potato taco?
It's closed.
It's 10.30 at night.
So you really got Denny's.
You got Noho or you got the chicken wing place.
What would work for you?
Look at them.
It's a thousand dilemmas.
He's sweating in the arms.
I have no idea what you're saying right now.
I know you have.
All right.
Don't worry about it, Den.
Tacos are good.
Let me get the fucking, let me get the copies, will you?
He said, tacos abuela.
Yeah.
Well, dude, I'm glad that, I'm glad we were able to connect, man.
This, this really means a lot to me.
Listen, man, I know you're a music guy.
I've been watching you and I know that you, you were just in Austin.
Yep.
You know?
And before that, you were somewhere and I see you posting pictures.
And when you're not posting pictures, you're going to shows.
So I know you're living the life.
Okay.
Uh, everybody thinks that you, you put a nose ring on, you go to a fucking 10 cents
jacket, you can put a leather jacket on and you're a fucking musician nowadays.
And they don't know it's like comedy.
It's like right now is the biggest comic boom we've ever had.
Buy it.
Hell yeah.
It was a little acid fart for you.
Oh, acid fart.
Yeah.
So.
It's not even in the vicinity.
He's already.
You're going to throw a fart on acid.
Your life will change.
You'll start thinking about how gas is made in the ass.
Oh, shit.
Like that came out of me.
It's looking like the crab Nebula in his brain.
I leave Monday night on the fucking church.
You don't know what's going to happen.
You don't know what's going to happen.
I've been telling you that for years.
You giggle.
We don't giggle here.
We're in training.
What the fuck is happening?
Nothing.
Nothing.
You don't came to visit us.
The devil came to visit every once in a while.
This is the real.
This is okay.
Okay.
Okay.
March homes is like kind of like that's what we need to do now.
Mushrooms are kind of cool and vibey.
But what is this?
What's going on with you right now?
What do you hear?
Anything but that.
Anything but that.
I'm feeling all the rock and roll you're talking about.
You're feeling it?
Yeah.
Feels the rock and roll.
See.
I love how you said mushrooms are cool and vibey.
How you feeling on this?
Nothing but that.
None of that.
That's awesome.
What do you feel Lee?
Are you seeing shit?
Yeah.
What are you seeing?
Just colors.
Like what type of colors are you seeing?
We going out after this?
You should look at the sky.
The other drive, Lee sister.
I'm not driving nowhere.
Yeah.
I'll drive the Volkswagen.
I'll teach you how to drive the little Hillmobile and shit.
You're fucking be doing 90s around turns.
What the fucking tacos on mumbo?
Taco.
What's your place over there you like?
The Lizard Meat.
They're open.
I'm a lizard meat.
Lizard meat.
I haven't gone there forever.
The lizard meat.
Yeah.
He kept eating lizard meat.
I can't lose weight.
Yeah.
Because you eat lizard meat.
Where is it at?
Right around the corner.
Taco.
They got his picture up there.
Because he does tacos on companies.
You go over there.
The windows are filthy.
Lee goes over there.
He found a place to make like $1.25 tacos.
He got his dad sick.
Everybody got sick.
Lee's a billy goat like us.
Lee could eat a scab off a fucking dead dog's knee.
And he'll be fine.
Lee's like Mad Max.
You guys ever go to salsa and beer up there?
Yeah.
Tremendous.
But just a big line and you always feel like I'm going to get shot.
Yeah.
It's at the fucking, you know, every time you go to salsa and beer.
You got to go in the fucking morning.
You got to go in the morning.
You know, you're like afternoon after church.
You go to a restaurant and you think you're fucking Paul Castellano.
Like I'm going to get shot in this fucking.
It's dark.
It's in the corner.
It's Mexican.
But they give you the spicy bean dip.
Oh.
That's the problem.
You don't even want to eat.
The flautas, my man.
The flautas.
The flautas.
The sauce.
No.
Oh my God.
Even when you're just sitting there, they bring you these fucking.
You just sitting there.
Yeah.
When you get there, you know, in Chinese places, bring your duck sauce, mustard and noodles.
Love it.
This place brings your chips and this bean dip.
Oh.
Okay.
I love bean dip.
The spicy bean dip with a unique taste.
And as soon as you dip it, you're like, God damn, bring me another one.
Yeah.
And next thing you know, they bring you this fucking absorbent meal.
Wow.
And meanwhile they got Mexican music playing in the back.
But when you get out of there, it's a fucked up neighborhood.
Yeah.
Where is it at?
That's where my rehearsal space is.
Where is it at?
Like Sherman Way and Lancashire.
Lancashire.
Oh yeah.
Over there.
Yeah.
So.
But that's how I know it.
Like I take all the, all the bands that I hang with or people who come jam with me.
It's like, we got to go to salsa and be after them.
They got great margaritas.
Yeah.
They got, what time they open till 11 or something?
They usually open pretty late almost.
I want to say midnight, some nights.
And then not only that, but any kind of hangover, whatever kind of party you've done.
You go there that next morning and you eat that food.
You're cured.
You're cured.
Instantly.
They got, they got the hangover food over there for lunch.
400%.
I love it man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Salsa and beer dude.
Oh.
So you have, you have rehearsals with different bands a couple nights a week.
Yep.
And then you play with them weekly, monthly.
Yeah.
I try to play at least one gig weekly and usually between all the bands.
I can try and make it work.
It's, it's all dependent.
And then I try and find, you know, freelance stuff too.
Like I'll jump on a tour last minute.
Somebody will say, Hey, we need you to fly to North Carolina tomorrow and learn 12 songs.
Can you do it?
Yeah.
Sure.
Let's do this.
I'm listening to the shit on the plane.
You know, they have the kit there for me or whatever, you know, start, take it from there,
finish the tour, out, drive home, you know, whatever.
So I've kind of done a little bit of all that or, you know, sometimes I'll do just like
one off.
I'll do like a weekend somewhere, you know, or, you know, a couple of dates just in one
place.
Studio work.
Studio work.
Man, I don't do as much studio work.
I would like to get into a little more of that, but man, I feel like LA has so many killers.
Yeah.
They got like Josh Fries does it all.
And then if he can, then you got, yeah.
Greg Bissonette.
Yeah.
You got Jim Keltner who played on everything, everything in the show.
He played on all the Steely, or a lot of the Steely dance.
Neil Young.
Hardish.
Dude, we played with the Tom Petty stuff.
I mean, dude.
Keltner, that guy's got this just feel, man.
He just comes in.
It's just like, he's on every record you love.
He probably played on the Joe Walsh, you know, solo record.
So what do those guys do?
They do the studio arm and then they don't tour.
Yeah.
Some of them tour, some of them do it all.
You know, some of them kind of keep busy with a lot of it.
And that's kind of, most modern guys do a little bit of studio, a little bit of touring.
They usually have a band or two that they play in town with or that they will play out with.
Then they teach a little bit too.
Yeah.
You know, try and kind of spread it out.
Keltner's pretty old.
That's the best way to make money doing that stuff.
Keltner's pretty old now.
Yeah.
Oh, Keltner probably doesn't need to teach, you know, like those guys I mentioned, they
for the most part just do studio or touring stuff.
They can play for whoever they want to essentially, you know what I mean?
It's great.
The only reason why they didn't become a comedian or a musician or they give it a shot is because
I knew I would porn.
Porn your gear.
Yeah.
I always knew I would porn my gear.
Yeah.
My blood, no.
That's a real.
And a couple guys like that, the band.
I know people.
I'm going to fucking porn it and then take it out and then we're going to start a band.
And I got to porn it.
And I just thought, you know, it's just too much.
I have to have this guitar and then I got to have one of those snub those things.
And I'll porn that.
Yeah.
I'll swap that fucking thing.
And upkeep, you know, strings, this and that.
And I just did, you know, the toughest thing for me is that you know the type of individual
you are.
And the thing I could never imagine that I learned early on because I got so, and I fell
in love with the bands and I went to see Pink Floyd live from Pompeii and I went to see
all those concert films from the seventies.
Yeah.
Cosby Still's Nash had a few.
And one thing I learned early on that it was a fucking, it's six fucking guys.
It's five guys.
Yeah.
It's four guys.
It's three guys.
I got to control.
I'm not controlled.
But if you want to do this, there's always going to be one fucking moron that you got
to go wake up every morning and he's at some girls room and you got to call him like almost
famous.
Always late.
There's always late.
So one guy's a junkie.
Yeah.
The one guy's a junkie.
I used to have a friend, Damon, and he used to be friends with these guys in LA.
They had a tremendous band.
They were like playing around, but they sold music to commercials.
Two of their songs got picked up by commercials.
That's good.
They got great money and then they couldn't find the guitar player.
The guitar player disappeared downtown with a hundred thousand.
Oh.
Roll on his arm.
Oh.
And you know, they couldn't find them.
And Damon would tell me, what are you doing tonight, Damon?
I got to go down and find Dickie downtown.
Under the bridge, downtown.
Yeah, downtown.
You know, I got to go babysitting now.
But the guy's brilliant.
He knows hard music.
You know, that's what.
There's always that guy in the band.
There's always that guy.
It's crazy.
Okay.
But listen, we'll hire him, but once, you know, you have to keep him clean.
You know, that's in the bands of the 70s.
Like when Guns N' Roses came on the scene in 88, I'll never forget when they showed up
at the Grammys the one year.
Yeah.
The next day, America was just in shock.
Yeah.
Like you were too young, man.
You weren't even thought of.
But I remember, no, when Guns N' Roses was out.
I mean, what?
At least 90 was.
Yeah, illusion records.
Yeah.
So I mean.
91, 92 of the illusions.
Was there an 80, 91?
Like I remember vividly seeing Terminator 2 in the theater when I was like probably what,
two or three years old.
Like I have weird, crazy memory.
It goes back a long time.
So yeah.
I can go back to three.
I remember.
Three or four.
Yeah.
I can go back.
My mom said I would always say, because I had like a really, you know, was a little kid
I would always say, slash.
I love slash so much, you know.
Be so into it.
Yeah.
I mean, I grew up on all that stuff, dude.
All the hair metal, all the, you know.
Your dad's wearing the John Dawkins.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He played some sessions for John Dawkins and XYZ.
XYZ.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, my dad's played some sessions.
Well, your dad is.
This is what I know.
Do you write also like your dad?
A little bit.
Yeah.
I'm more of like a salt and pepper guy, you know what I mean?
Like come to me with a song.
I'm going to change it up.
I'm going to add something.
I'm going to say, hey, how would we do this here or do that there?
I write a little bit, but I don't really, I just like compile ideas for the most part.
I have like, you know, the iPhone voice recorder, 200 probably song ideas.
But I haven't really taken the time to get this keyboard from my computer.
You got to do that, man, because that's where the money is.
Yeah.
And that's the thing.
I'm really lucky with every band that I'm in.
They let me co-write stuff.
You know what I mean?
It's never an issue like that.
So.
Any noises I'm making?
I don't know whatever you're saying.
I don't know.
I thought it was.
The weird thing that you said something very, you said something very interesting.
Then we'll get, we'll get everybody out of here.
It's late.
You said something very interesting before.
We were talking about missing persons.
One of my favorite bands that just took my head somewhere else.
It was interesting what happened between our friends.
Like I had these friends that went to the kinks and the stones, but I always thought they
went to the music their brothers liked.
Yeah.
Like they would show up at parties and go, listen to this and like, oh, this is fucking
terrible.
Yeah.
But you couldn't really say something because my brother thinks it's fucking great.
Yeah.
Whatever.
My brother or whatever.
Missing persons was like, look, like there was a couple bands that just, you went to
see with people and your friends are going, you went to see who?
With who?
Who the fuck would go see those?
I remember going to see the fucker seagulls.
It was a Tuesday night.
Yeah.
You said, I, we got two options on Tuesday.
We could take a hundred and snort a gram that we don't have and gamble and do stupid shit.
Let's take 15 bucks.
Let's get a half a gram at least between the three of us for a little taste.
Yeah.
And then they pack a button and let's get a little bottle of blackberry brandy.
And let's go see fucking flock of seagulls and the go-go's, you know.
Yeah.
That was me with like Divo.
I loved all that shit.
Yeah.
Divo came in here.
The knack.
The knack.
I didn't go see the knack.
I went, that's how I got to see bad band and talk.
Yeah.
What do you got to lose?
No.
I got two options.
I could sit at this bar with these fucking morons and become them.
Yeah.
Or go see some live music.
And they had songs.
That's why I went to see that band.
They had three jams for a black band that at the time, whenever I was going through,
destroyed me and they would play like the peppermint lounge and stuff.
They would do a little New York tour as the SOS band.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they have just be good to me.
They have like three songs that are monsters, you know.
That's the one, dude.
Look, what else they have, Lee?
Just the SOS band.
They had two songs.
Oh, baby, do it right.
We can do it, baby.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Do it tonight.
Yeah.
Baby, we can do it.
That's a killing song.
Do it right.
Like fucking monsters, dude.
Make it all night.
Take your time.
Just be good to me.
Just be good to me.
Go hit that greatest hits.
Let's see what they got in there.
Take your time.
What's on that list?
Number two, greatest hits.
So we can see the songs.
Let's see here.
Pop it down here.
No, not full screen.
Not full screen.
We need to see that.
Yeah, we need to see that in screen.
Oh, there it is right there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Look at it.
Oh, yeah, here's the track right here.
Yeah.
Just be good to me.
Oh, my God.
Put the earphones on, Lee.
You got to feel this shit.
This is...
I'm feeling it without it.
You what?
I'm feeling it without it.
No, you're fine.
Put the earphones on.
You need to musically.
Look how many views this has.
We're doing cover of this with the big guys.
Like an instrumental cover, yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, it's pretty tight.
Turn it up, Lee.
This is good.
Look how many views it has, Joey.
Killer.
This is what black people are black people.
They don't care about Academy Awards.
Nothing.
They just want to...
Play pianos and shit.
They just want somebody to be good to them.
This is a great lyrically song, man.
Sure.
You know, rip this off.
Bobby Brown.
This is tremendous.
This is so fucking good.
This is a trip like video.
Oh, shit.
Reputation.
Oh, shit.
Here we go, cock suckers.
With a picture of Trump right here.
Look at this.
Fucking tremendous.
I saw that.
I almost died.
Lee, Trump is watching you cock suckers.
Trump knows you're on acid.
All right, cut this, Lee.
Let's do some commercials.
Dean, you're a legit badass vocalist as well.
You know what I mean?
Insane.
You haven't even heard of the AC DC.
Oh, I have.
I have.
He's fucking insane.
Lee wants to hear him sing AC DC.
Perfect.
Turn the lights off.
Great.
Great.
We need to...
I'll play drums.
I got my sticks in the car.
We'll do some AC DC and we'll periscope.
Lee, is that your phone going off?
I don't know.
You got the flashlights on.
Lee's looking for his brain.
Lee's got the light on, looking for his brain.
Oh, my God.
Just be good to me.
Yeah, man.
Who's texting, Lee?
We're going to have to do that lucky strike.
Don't be lying to me.
You should, Lee.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
We already got it.
Joey, you'll have to come out to that.
If we do Deep Purple Perfect Strangers together...
I'm in.
I'm in.
That would be great.
I know you hate that stuff.
No, no, I'm up to see it.
If you guys are doing...
I'm doing the jam on the 29th of August at the Roxy Theater.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you are.
Yeah, I saw that.
I'm singing fucking, killing in the name of...
Oh, yeah, killing in the name of...
I'm going, I'm going.
Oh, that's going to be great.
I got a plan in the whole fucking...
You cock suckers, I'm killing in the name of...
No, forget about it.
Oh, I can't wait.
It's not how many people you kill, it's who you kill.
You understand me?
Oh, that is great.
I got a plan.
I got a plan.
I might rip the shirt off and have sucked my dick out of my stomach and fucking rip
my pants off and have boxed his shorts with my nutsacks hanging out.
Just take it to the next level with some fucking...
It's going to be killer.
With some Rob Halford boots.
Yeah, yeah.
And just go for fucking broke, but go on there with a fucking tricycle.
Do it, do it.
Cut people up.
Lee, what's with the moaning and groaning dog?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
What are you feeling?
You want some chocolate?
No.
The chocolate will save you.
It'll put some fucking Addison in your stomach.
Oh, give me this one.
Nah, you'll be fine.
You're tougher than dead.
You want another star?
No.
All right, are you done with the star?
Look how he's falling in his jet.
He goes, no.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a fucking doozy of a night tonight.
So great, dude.
Nice Monday night.
This is how you start the fucking week all perfect.
We just talking about...
We went from the SOS band to Deep Purple.
The fucking, you know, this is it.
Concerts, we covered fucking music.
I know, you know, it seems a little unorthodox to you tonight, but it's a Monday night, people.
This was about no plan, no nothing.
And Lee was moaning at the time we had our own background singer.
Lee's like our old German champion in the corner.
He's just telling like, oh, oh, oh.
It's when James Brown yells, I'm saying thanks.
I'm saying thanks.
Let me tell you what happened today, guys.
I went back to Jiu Jitsu for the first time with my blue belt.
Congratulations.
I worked out Friday and Saturday at the hotel.
This hotel in Denver has kettlebells.
That's great.
Oh, yeah.
It's great, right?
They're getting water now.
Who has kettlebells?
No, I travel every week.
They got dumbbells.
Some of them have one bar.
You know, there's only one place in the country that has a bar in the hotel.
Chicago.
Yeah.
Chicago actually has the fucking Olympic bar that you could nice with rubber weights.
And it's nice.
Everybody else has dumbbells.
They all have dumbbells, elliptical, which is great for the weekend.
Fuck yeah.
But this hotel had fucking kettlebells, 21 pound, 35.
I think they went up to 41.
Wow, that's killer.
Then they had two heavy ones, like 90 pounds, which nobody would touch.
Yeah, ball pops.
I didn't do, I was in Colorado.
So there's no reason to do deadlifts.
You're going to have a heart attack.
There's no reason.
So I did the bike for 15.
Yeah.
I did my little tactic warm up to warm up the bar.
And then I did five sets of swings with the fucking 41.
I did some cleans.
Yeah.
I did some squats.
My shirt was drenched.
I could fucking, and then I went on the elliptical.
Yeah.
It'd be elliptical for 40.
And then I got on the elevator one time because they're seeing these fucking gentiles faces.
My shirt was drenched.
My titties were hanging.
Yeah.
Sweat was coming out of my titties.
You could smell root beer in the air.
I still got root beer in my titties from 84 when I used to be addicted to those fucking
roguer floods.
My root beer.
But I went to Jiu-Jitsu today and I don't know how hot it was in the valley.
That's the main reason we didn't do the, we were going to do the podcast at three today.
It was blazing.
And I called Lee and I go, Lee, listen, what the fuck are we thinking?
It's a thousand out there.
Some kid brought it's 86 degrees.
No, it ain't.
No.
Not up here it wasn't.
No.
Because every time I got in my car it started at 106 and I went to 104 and it stayed at
fucking 104.
It was blazing.
It was blazing.
And I go to Jiu-Jitsu today.
Oh.
I decided to go to Jiu-Jitsu at 1115.
I go in the back which has no air conditioning and I start doing kettlebells.
I do five sets.
I do some squats.
Again, just to get the body going to breathe heavy.
I took the back to fucking tick fat just to stretch my shoulder.
I was drenched because the last two weeks of August are always very humid.
I was drenched already.
Then I went to Jiu-Jitsu class and I had anxiety.
I was rolling with brown belts and shit.
I was like, what the fuck is going on?
My leg is trapped.
Why is it trapped?
And then it drove me around.
And then I did the tactical fitness class.
And one of the times I looked down there was a puddle under my fucking head.
I drank the 24 water that I brought, the 12 ounce with the protein drink.
I had to stop at the gas station to get another Dasani.
I drank that whole fucking thing.
I walked in the house.
My wife had a green tea.
I inhaled that fucking thing, took a shower, drank another fucking Dasani award that she
had in there.
My knee was still wet when I came here.
The rash guard was dry.
The knee pads were dry.
But guess what was drenched on the outside but dry on the inside?
My fucking ballsack was completely dry on the inside.
My knee pads were drenched.
How is that possible?
Because I was wearing me on the underwears.
That's why.
Oh, me on these?
Because the me on these gets the moisture.
And today I saw it.
I saw how this fucking me on these work.
It grabs all the moisture through the V of your fucking underwear.
And my balls were dry when I took it on.
But this is fucking crazy.
And I've said it a thousand times on podcasts before when I had the surgery the one time.
I had me on these.
The next day I took my underwears off.
I went to take a sniff.
Fresh.
Wow.
Fucking beautiful.
Like nothing.
Man, I can get behind that.
Me on these, I didn't know what it was at the time but I'll tell you right now.

I could tell you what I thought and I could tell you what he thinks.
Even though he's making fucked up noises and he's all pale over there and he's sweating.
Lee Syad's been on Blue Apron for the last three weeks.
Oh, it's been great.
Speaking of the Mike Lee, please.
He said it's been great.
What have you cooked with Blue Apron?
You had the chicken burgers the first time.
Okay.
Hold on.
Hold.
Hello.
There he is.
The return of the Mike Lee.
Yeah.
All right.
So the first week you had the chicken burgers.
In all honesty, Blue Apron's really great.
Really great.
It's teaching me how to cook because I like, okay.
How many pounds have you lost in your first week?
Like 10 pounds just from not eating out because here's the thing.
When they eat out they're like, hey, you have $15 limits and you're like, well, okay,
well then I'll order the appetizer and then the appetizer is there.
So you eat the appetizer.
So that's how it happens.
So both of you guys are looking great.
I do like to say that.
No, no, no.
Both of you guys are looking slim.
No, no, no.
But Blue Apron, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry with Blue Apron.
So I cooked the, fuck, I wish I had them.
The first week you made the chicken, then you had the pork.
Oh, wait, no, no.
I had them with me.
Then you had the pork.
Okay.
And you got salmon, but you haven't cooked the salmon yet.
No, pork tenderloin.
I was a pork tenderloin.
Which is really great.
It had corn and had some kale too.
And then onions.
That was delicious.
And then I cooked, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
I just had it.
Anyway, let me talk to you about Blue Apron because Lee is all who bots.
Lee is using it and he loves it.
We talk about it every night.
He's made the crispy chicken.
He's done the chicken burgers.
He's done the pork tenderloin.
He's done the soul, which he, he's never really been a fish guy.
We got him to eat something one time.
I got him to eat the fried lobster.
I got him to eat the fried lobster.
And he liked that because they marinated it just right up in Morton's.
He likes the one from Morton's or the other one.
Do we have a towel for Lee, maybe?
No, Lee don't need a towel.
He's as tough as a man.
He's sweating profusely as the legs are shaking.
That's okay.
All right, now he's out.
The legs stop shaking at least.
All right, let me talk to you so we can get the fuck out of here, cocksucker.
Here is plain and simple.
Lee loves Blue Apron.
It's great.
It's amazing.
It's late.
We tried it already.
