I don't know what the fucking date is. I know it's Sunday August something. It's a beautiful day to be alive. You got your health, you got your fucking stomach,
Starting point is 00:01:24 and everything else falls into place. The church of what's happening now, bitches. Here we go. Let's go to Omaha, Joey. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. That's a fucking great jam. And it's weird because you think, is that the one that, no, it's the other one, Black Betty, you think it's the almond bro? Oh, Black Betty. I came on the stage to Black Betty for fucking four years. That is such a, I hear that and I get chills. Now, who sings that? Ram Jams. They're out of Jacksonville or maybe they're not out of Jacksonville,
Starting point is 00:02:24 but I always got that jam. Like when you watch their video, they're in like in front of just an old redneck, two-story White House and just bell bottoms and fucking 1970, real simple song. Oh, I fucking love that. I love Black Betty. I love that whole shit. What's going on, Bert Grish? I am so good. I'm so happy to be here. Now, how long have you been home for? You've been home for a fucking while. Yeah, I'll be home for a little longer too now that they cancel that tour. Now, how many weeks were you on? I was just doing two, but I pulled out, you know, I don't do, because we're talking about this, but I don't do much, as much on the road because of the girls. And so I pulled the two weeks I was working
Starting point is 00:03:00 and I filled them up with that tour. And so the other weeks I had off. So as soon as that tour went away, I couldn't refill those weeks. Now, what were the other weeks? What were the other dates you had on the oddball? I was doing Seattle, Portland, Red Rocks. Red Rocks is the one that bumps me out because I really wanted to do Red Rocks. That's sad. Fuck, yeah, but it would have been Saturday when Red Rocks to 1500 people. Yeah, it doesn't. I was telling, this is what I was saying about it, Joey. You know what it was? The comics that are on it are all fantastic comics, but they're not, you know, the people that go to that show aren't comedy fans, they're event comedy fans. Like, like Sebastian's a great
Starting point is 00:03:39 comic and comedy fans go see Sebastian, but he's not like a Sam Kinnison, Dave Chappelle, Mitch Hedberg. Like his life's really nice and it's put together and he does a really great act. And what shocked me, it wasn't just Sebastian, it was Gabriel, it was Segura, it was Jim Jeffries. I mean, you have all these people and you couldn't chop up the ticket. I really thought I had mixed feelings. I thought that, listen, let me tell you something, before I got into comedy, I'm going to tell you something right off the bat. This is how I thought comedy worked. You went to the fucking movies, the movie was sold out and you and your girlfriend were sitting there with your dick in your hand. You called the other movie theater that sold out,
Starting point is 00:04:24 but you look across the street and there's a fucking comedy club. And you walk across the street and it's 20 bucks to get in, a two drink minimum, you go in there, you don't know who the comic is, you laugh, you fucking ass off, you smoke cigarettes, you know, it's one of those things. It became a business now. Like it's become a big time business now. It's two drinks, they want to do four shows a night, they want to do all this stuff. So now they got ticket surcharges, we're all the sudden they're taking three bucks on every ticket and every fucking ticket that us as comedians don't see a dime of, not a fucking dime of. And now you have the ticket, the tour was successful the last couple of years, but it also had Chappelle and Flight of the Concorde.
Starting point is 00:05:08 It was events. It was like Pearl Jam. They had like Flight of the Concords and Louie and Amy and Aziz. But not one time. Do you want me to tell you something? Not one time did I doubt the comics that were on the tour. This year? None of them. None of them. All of them. Just Gabriel and listen, Sebastian did seven nights at the fucking theater in New York. That's the theater with the fucking Allman Brothers playing a role. You know, Bill Bird did, I don't know, 19 fucking sellouts in Boston. You know, Gabriel, Jesus fucking Christ. Where doesn't he fucking Dubai? The Prince flies them in. You know, these are great comics in their own way. It's also a hundred and something dollars. Lisa, he went online for the $30 tickets and they were two miles away. You had a binoculars
Starting point is 00:05:54 and another binocular for the fucking binoculars. You know what I'm saying? So it's what I've been talking about, but I got a problem now. Now I talked to Tommy Easter. Okay. And he said he went to the Dodger game the other day for 18 bucks. Right. Yeah. Now how the fuck? People told me that $200 is the fucking seats. How does Tommy used to go for 18 fucking dollars? Well, it's the game time app and there's other ones like it, but that's all it is. It is just... I mean, he sat in hell, he said. Yeah, he's in hell. Do you know they have a medical marijuana smoking section at Dodgers? No, they don't. Yes, they do. No, there's no way. That's what he told me. I'll call him right now. Are you serious? Yeah, that they have a smoking section and a medical, I mean, you got to walk
Starting point is 00:06:33 eight miles. By the time you get there, you're like, we might as well leave. We're by the bus station. You know, we're all the way fucking... We're in Silver Lake. Yeah, we're in Silver Lake already. So I heard there's a medical marijuana fucking little smoke pad there. Listen, you're going to spark about a fucking game anyway. There's nothing worse. You wouldn't be too nervous at a baseball game? Are you fucking kidding me? That's a home of sparking. I remember going to a Yankee game one time and looking down and seeing crack vials in 1993. Holy shit. That's too much. Seeing little crack vials in the fucking Yankee stadium. People sitting there with a cigarette. You don't know it. You don't smoke crack. You can smell something, but you're
Starting point is 00:07:11 selling raws in the game. You probably think it's popcorn. You know, I would hate to go to a game with my daughter, with your daughters and them to go, Daddy, what's that smell? You follow me? I would hate to do it. So I think that it's better. Just give them... Listen, it's legal. It might as well be legal here. Might as well be legal here. People smell it now and they go, God damn it. They go, what the fuck? But here's my question. But going back to the tour is I think two things. I think people were really regret not having bought those tickets in two years. But I think that like everyone that was on the tour, there was no Louis or Chappelle or just someone like Louis
Starting point is 00:07:55 and Chappelle or Gray White Sharks. When they walk into a club, even we get like, fuck Chappelle's here. And when Sebastian walks in... I'm not shitting on Sebastian. I love Sebastian, but when he walks to the club, they're like, oh, cool. Sebastian's here. I get to see him. I think he's fucking brilliant. But it's not like the Chappelle or Louis or the almost like... They have that LeBron status where like, I don't even give a fuck about basketball, but I do want to see LeBron play a game before he dies. But at the same time, Amy Schumer's not selling tickets. So Amy's got that status. Amy's got that status. She's not selling tickets right now?
Starting point is 00:08:30 No. Irvine Amphitheater ran a fucking group on two Saturdays ago. Really? Irvine one is the one they're really embarrassed about. That's the one that's eating away at them. They're not even selling tickets to Irvine? Well, here's the thing. I went to Irvine a couple of years ago, and I don't know any of the comics personally, but it wasn't. It was one of those event shows, as you said. It was The Bigger Names. Yeah. Who are you with, Chappelle? No, no, no. Not even... It was the year after that. It was like, it was hard work. It was...
Starting point is 00:08:57 No, I was on the tour with Aziz, but Aziz, I had a Gaffigan and Louis CK and all that stuff. And I think, Joey, what you were saying, I think you're absolutely right. I think if like the tour that was on this Oddball tour was at the store one night or at the Irvine Improv, whatever, or something like that, that would be... And you just went in there as a good... It would be a monster show. It would be the best show of your life. This was a better show, a hundred and thousand percent... I think this is a great show. I think it was a better show, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I've told you since day one on the drive to fucking Indianapolis. Listen, I knew Indianapolis wasn't going to sell. Yeah, I just knew it. As soon as I saw Sunday, I go, I'll get a ticket, but this is not... This is the Bible Belt. Yeah, and it's Bob and Tommy. And it's Sunday and it's... I don't think it's going to sell. That's the first one that went down. That would made me fucking ecstatic. Because now I got Thursday, Friday, Saturday. The long drive is Atlanta. Then they called us and said Atlanta was going down and we're like, what the fuck? And that night I was at the ice house and I was talking to one of the
Starting point is 00:09:56 door guys and I go, oh, I'm embarrassed for Gabriel. Gabriel, because Gabriel still went to Fort Lauderdale. Okay? And still sold out to your mom at $50 per ticket. Okay? So don't fucking tell me. These motherfuckers looked at that because what do you go see Gabriel by yourself? No. No, you take your wife. That's a yardstick. That's a fucking yardstick. The same yardstick you were going to use for whatever. The yardstick was there. I don't think... I think that when they called, the service fees were high. It was like $1.30 a ticket, right? I think there was a lot of variables. I think the other thing was, for me, I think it was late in the season. I think it's late in the season. Right now, Bert Kreischer is not thinking about anything. Right
Starting point is 00:10:44 now, in two or three days, both of your girls go to school. That's another fact. Who knows? It's an election year. Who the fuck knows? Who the fuck knows? What I do know is that what comedy club do you go to that's empty now? None. None. Even the comedy store sells out on fucking Tuesday nights. You know, Flappers is doing great. Fucking the Ice House is doing great. Comedy's on the way up. So this is why this whole tour is so very unexplainable. It's so very like, wait a second, what are we doing wrong here? So where's the fault go? Like, who fucked it up? Nobody fucked it up. It's everybody's fault here. It's not a comedian's fault. No, it's not the comedian's fault. Marketing's fault, maybe. It's, there's a lot of things at fault here, but you want me to
Starting point is 00:11:33 tell you something? I think that people go to comedy shows again. People are going to comedy shows, fucking, and I talk to people all the time, and they go see me, you, you know, they go see Segora, they go see Duncan, they go see Kate Quigley. And here's what I think it is. That's a lot of money. Let's just say you were going to get a $100 ticket. Look, I'm sure there's more and there's less expensive than that. But for five, that means you could have gone and seen any of you guys five times and seen an hour. So do you think, do you think, okay, that's a good point, Lee. So theoretically, if you want to understand what you're saying, when they first did this tour, people were getting like, comedy was on the right upswing when they
Starting point is 00:12:18 were like, shut up, comedy's great again. Oh, fuck, I can see everyone I want to see in one night, as opposed to now, comedies in the upswing, it's doing well. And now everyone's like, fuck that, I'm going to save all these dollars and see each of these guys do an hour. It's almost like a more comedy savvy crowds are like, I'd rather go see Joey for 30, Bert for 30, Gabe for 50, you know what I mean? And see them do an hour as opposed to see Joey do fucking 15 up front, Bert do 10, Tom Segura do 12, Eliza do 15, you know what I mean? Now, because of my logic that I explained to you that I've always thought movies, I beg the agents to keep the tickets at 25 hours. I keep mine at 20.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Then one day I go to, I keep, they're like, oh, you should do 27 on Thursday, 20. It's fucking date night. It's single night, 20, you know, the agents will push you to no end, to no fucking end with numbers guys. I just want you to know that at home, you know, when I go on stage, I got to be honest with you, this is why I don't bring anything on the road because I just want to worry about comedy. I don't want to worry about door deals, ticket prices, none of that shit. I don't want the people to get gouged, you know, Thursday night, 15 bucks if you can, 22. But then I find out a week later, this is $8 service charge, $2 if you will call the tickets. It's a fucking nightmare. You know, you never stop getting fucked. You know, the thing that
Starting point is 00:13:45 hurt me the most, I have these flight plane tickets I got. They all had a cancellation fee, 150, 200, Delta, I caught three fucking different times and they gave me two breaks. Eventually I knew they were going to say, Joe, we got to charge you this fucking sum. Southwest, they don't give a fuck. Yeah, I was taking Southwest from Tampa to Atlanta, they don't give a fuck. They just said, we'll put it on your tab. Virgin made me open up a bank account, a sky bank and put my money in there and I got a year to use it and just, it's fucking bullshit. But anyway, beside that, what's going on, Lisa? You got a beautiful weekend. Yeah, in San Diego, you went to see Lee had a little problem. Lee had a little fucking problem this
Starting point is 00:14:23 week that I didn't think about till you said something and it made a lot of sense because it happened to serve everybody in this room, couldn't get it up. Well, that happened before, but that wasn't this weekend. What is the problem? Well, I went to, my girlfriend got us tickets, I like this EDM band and I started seeing them when I was 18 and I've seen them probably over 15, 20 times and we went down there and within 10 minutes we were both looking at each other like, this isn't ours. This wasn't her scene to begin with, she's just being a nice person and going could I like it. These people, it's people, Joey, who I feel like if you went in there, it would be the best YouTube video because it's everyone doing drugs just to do drugs,
Starting point is 00:15:09 like they have like, they have the pacifier, they have these lighted finger gloves that they were just doing in front of someone's face as they were supposedly tripping. And I was, I was on 800 milligrams and I was laughing in their, in their face because they were doing like, these little light fingers. And but basically my problem, I told you the next morning, I don't know if it's age or maybe I just grew out, grew it. I still like, I'll listen to them in the car. And I like going if there's like a, an up, like I saw them in LA and I could sit down and really watch the light show. And that was cool. But to be in a pit and like, when you say jumping up and down, doing all that stuff, we left after 15 minutes when God Mexican food
Starting point is 00:15:47 and went and went home. That was our night. Like it was just, it was, we went down there for that. And the highlight of the trip by far was the San Diego Zoo. Oh, San Diego Zoo is pretty fucking badass. Oh yeah, it's great. And like pretty fucking badass. And we were like, there are kids there. And we were having a better time than the kids. We were taking pictures. There's pandas. We went and saw the monkeys. Now that would be a fun place to get to take these mushroom chocolates, I think, or something. The condor is pretty fucking badass at the San Diego Zoo. I didn't see the condor. Condor is fucking insane, insane. You're like, that looks like it's not even a real animal. Just like, like, I want to say it's like a 12 foot
Starting point is 00:16:26 wingspan. Just like a fucking tarot. It's insane. Thursday I went to the LA Zoo. What a dump. What a fucking dump that is. What a dump. It looks like those animals got hit by a car. They look like rescue animals. Oh my God. The fucking apes. Are they really? The orangutan. The fucking alligator had a fungi toenail like I do. It was fucking green and purple. I mean, the snakes are nice. The kid has a great time. It's a great little exercise for an hour and a half. Yeah. It's all uphill, but it's not one of my favorite fucking shoes. I'll tell you, I'll tell you what's fun. We spent the night at the San Diego Zoo. I saw that you could do that. Oh, it's fucking Eila for her birthday. Found out that you could
Starting point is 00:17:06 do that. She's like, that's what I want to do. Joey, you hear the lion roaring at night. Just it's fucking. How are the rooms? It's in, what's that? How are the rooms? It's like cabins, like tents. Tents? Yeah, like cabin tents, tent cabins. It's a tent. And so you're sleeping in the fucking zoo and you do like a night walk around the zoo. So you go out at night. It's so fucking badass. And at least I'm in an animal's house. Is there a fucking fence around you? Yeah. You wouldn't do that, Joey. You wouldn't want to do one of those safaris? I couldn't sleep. I couldn't fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Joey's snoring in the fucking, the elephants trying to match him. I couldn't fucking sleep just knowing that they're a fence away. Oh, it's so crazy. It's the same now. I mean, it's the same. I don't, what do we have between the street and you? Dude, we spent the night, I spent the night in, right on the, in Tanzania, we were in Tanzania going into the refuge to do a safari. And we spent the night right on the, on the lip of it. And it was so cool. And you could hear lions at night and it was just, and you knew they could walk up and just walk into your front door. Like they could be there. You could open the door and a lion could be there. And you just heard them fucking roaring in the
Starting point is 00:18:26 middle of the night. The hyenas going fucking nuts. That shit, that's insane to me. Like the, the fact that, like you could walk outside and a lion could just grab you. Fuck that. Nope. I like animals, but I don't want to get grabbed by mistake by nobody. And not I spend the night at the fucking thing in the tent. That's the night the Mexican ground keeper drank tequila and he didn't put a lock on the fucking gate. That's the, you know what I'm saying? And I got to wake up next to Timber, the lion. I can't do it. Timber. Have you ever done the ones, Bert? Like I don't even know where they have them, but where you can like drive through and there's just animals roaming around.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Oh yeah. Yeah. Whatever the fuck they do in Jersey, I had that. Where you drive with the window a little open. Nope. Nope. No window open. No, no. Maybe you can, but I'm not opening the window. Fuck that. Here, let me show you. I'll show you a picture of how close I was to a lion. We did it because we did it with an open air tent and just drove all over the fucking literally into the jungle. And there's a lion, not even shitting you probably, as far as me from that flag, probably double that, but he's just sitting there and it's open air. He's just sitting there staring at you. Thumbs like tail slapping on the ground, just like a fucking cat. No, no. You couldn't do it? No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:19:43 I'll show you a picture. It was fucking insane. I don't like when there's like a stray dog on my street. It freaks me out a little bit. I get fucked up when I see a pigeon. I know the pigeons in my name, but they're all fucked up. I see a pigeon from outside a different name and I get all nervous. Should I hate fucking pigeons? What am I going to do? I don't know. Well, I mean, because Joe, you don't go to concerts anymore. Just going back to what happened to my concert. Well, it's interesting that you said it to me. It's interesting that you copped to it. A lot of people couldn't cop to it. I don't know. I went to, I used to go to concerts to see different bands and I'm not going to lie. Nobody, they would never like bar bands. At that age,
Starting point is 00:20:28 I would just go see the bands at the garden or the Nassau Coliseum or the places like that. And I think once I turned about 20 was when I would get to a concert and ask myself like, what the fuck am I doing here? Like once they played the song I wanted to hear, I got to get the fuck out of here. Yeah. And I left people like Judas Priest. I left people at concerts, but my biggest ever was when I left Dan Murr at the Rolling Stones at the Hollywood Ball. Dan Murr. Listen, who walks out of fucking like 10th row tickets and just walks home after three songs. Yeah. Like that's the shit that I was working myself. That's why the last year and a half I haven't gone to a UFC with Joe. Yeah. Because I'm to the point where I can't sit there
Starting point is 00:21:20 no more. I can't sit there no more. And it started when I was 20 at places. I remember going to see, you know what concert I enjoyed like Don Henley at Fiddlers Green in 95. That was one concert I enjoyed because it was easy drives. It was an easy walk. But now it seems like they just put too much fucking drama. Well, you always say something to me every time I go, I'm going anywhere. You're just telling me to download the album and have a joint. You're like, why are you even going to go down there? You said it to me. I was, I went to the Rams game and he goes, don't fucking go to the Rams game. And there was a fight that night. Yeah, there was a fight. You know, and here you take your wife. What if they took the girls? Yeah, we got season tickets. Yeah. You're another one that's
Starting point is 00:22:00 half retarded. How are you going to get season tickets to go down there to get beat up? Are you fucking crazy? It was, uh, everyone was speaking Spanish behind us. It's these sporting events now and they're all, one of them is going to end bad. That's the thing that you, you know is imminent. Like you sit there and go, when is something going to go down at one of these fucking things? You could feel it. You could feel it going on behind us. You could feel it. The energy was like man energy and I could, and I was, it was like third quarter and I was like, let's get the fuck out. I was like, it's a night game. The day games will be better. This is a night game. It's a preseason night game. So it's all the riffraff and the guys behind us were talking shit in Spanish
Starting point is 00:22:38 and I could understand a little bit what they were saying and I was like, man, if this was English, literally Leanne would be turned around going, shut the fuck up. And I was, and then these, and then they were sitting in these other guy's seats and the other guys came and put, finally like pulled the cart and they were like, listen, you're, you need to get the fuck up. You're sitting in our seats and the guy was like, are we going to do this? And I was like, all right, let's go. What the fuck are we doing? Listen, man, I went to 7-Eleven the other night. I'm sitting there in my business. There's this guy who gets whatever, cigarettes, new ports. He's Mexican. He's got a raider tattoo on his arm and then a raider tattoo on his side. Like he's got the
Starting point is 00:23:17 elements on his head, but here's what gets even beauty on his head and some raiders. And I'm looking at this guy and I'm like, that's who burnt sadness at that fucking game. And I'm not judging nobody, but, you know, I just, I can't. And then from one point, you're like, Joey, you're very negative because you look at the outcome. You think about the moves. Okay, I'm going to go down there. First off, it's fucking 45 fucking minutes. And these jamokes aren't used to going into a stadium and coming out of a stadium. So that's an extra fucking 42 minutes to go in. Then I'm going to walk up there. I'm going to sit next to fucking, you know, God knows who, because these people have been waiting for the fucking Rams. I would
Starting point is 00:23:59 have gave up after two years. Like, I'm done. I'll go fucking watch ping pong on direct TV or something. And then, you know, that we were talking about today, how they are gentrifying that area and they're doing, I mean, they closed the Hollywood Bowl because it was so fucking bad. Not the Hollywood Bowl. The Hollywood track. What was the name? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where they're putting the fucking stadium. They're going from one bad area to a single one. Yeah. This does not. I used to love going to that track on Friday nights. Oh, for the dollar be a dollar to get all the hot dogs, dollar hot dogs. Until you got to walk to your car. Yeah, because you win $20. That's the longest walk ever. You cannot celebrate your wins. Those are some angry black people on
Starting point is 00:24:42 that walk outside. They just stare at you. Lee, you would die. I went to the casino once. And how bad was it? They were, they have a weird thing in California where you can bet if the dealer's going to bust and people will come in and place a bet on that if they don't have enough money to place up like a bet on a hand. So this dude came by and I'm used to playing in Vegas where that bet doesn't exist. And this black dude, he just comes in, places the bet down. He's like, that's my bet. I'm like, okay. And then I was playing two hands because I'm crazy. One hand lost and one hand won or something. And he switched, he tried to switch it and he tried to get mad at me and take the money. I was like, okay, this is my clue to leave. Like I parked when I got there.
Starting point is 00:25:25 There's like a valley parking and there's like a free parking. I parked myself in the valley spot because I just knew like I was already, that's where Paula is from. That's the girl I'm dating. She lived behind it. So I was down there once a week. It's not, it's not a great place. Like, I don't know where these people who are going to go park down there and then stroll for a late night after the game. It's not going to be good. You can't look. The truth is, if you want to see a Rams game, you better go now. You're not going to be able to afford the new stadium. New stadium, the seats licensing is going to be 50 grand a seat. So you're never going to afford to be able to get season tickets ever again. So I was like, you know what, fuck it. This is the one time I'll ever say
Starting point is 00:26:04 I was a season ticket holder to anything ever in my fucking life. It was really cheap, good seats. And I was like, fuck it. We'll do it. And then immediately I was like, I should have gotten two tickets. The girls will never want to go to another fucking game. And then in my head, I was like, I was like, you know, but this new seat licensing thing is going to be 50 grand per seat and it'll be an ownership of that seat. And that won't even, no, one time payment. So it's like buying a house. You're buying property. You're buying that property and you will own the right to that seat in perpetuity. And then you can sell the right to your seat to somebody or you can just get the get the fucking ticket. By the way, that doesn't even count the, that's not even season tickets.
Starting point is 00:26:46 You got to buy season tickets on top of the seat licensing. It's a fucking nightmare. So whatever. It's like an investment. I'm sorry. It's an investment, but you got to be rich as fuck to do. I mean, like, you know, I'll tell you, it's a stock market. The seats, what you do is you buy the rights to the fucking seats and you buy season tickets and you could sell them at eight times the fucking face value. They don't give a fuck cause you paid that 50 fucking grand. That's the thing is like, you look at like Denver, when they did it, it seemed ridiculous. And then now my buddy Paul was like, man, I really, really wish I had just gotten a loan and done it because they'd be invaluable to you. You can't, you, there's a long, long list to get assisted.
Starting point is 00:27:24 They go to the Super Bowl. You're sitting, you got I was fucking tuition. Yeah. That's the reality. That's the reality cause some dummy will go, I want rib tickets now. You know, some celebrity on the TV show, don't know no better. Never been to a fucking sporting event. Doesn't know they're going to ask them for a thousand pictures and shit. He'll buy one of those fucking things. And then you do. I don't know. Guys, I grew up in Shea Stadium. I grew up in Mass Square Garden watching Nick games and I have the last lake of game I went to. I paid for the fucking tickets just to go and I got to tell you something that I felt ripped off. I just felt violated. You know, I used to go see, I used to go see great Nick teams for 15 bucks,
Starting point is 00:28:07 22 bucks. Yeah. You know, now I'm paying 190, 180, you know, and it's not about the fucking digits. It's, it's, it's the principal. It's the fucking principal. My friend here goes to Disneyland. They have that scale. Somebody was telling me that they have some scale at Disneyland now. Is this true? Oh, it's like a sliding scale for payment. Like there's some days where it's more and there's some days that it's less or something. It's like a hundred bucks. You said I heard that was a while ago. I heard 100 bucks. Yeah. 100 bucks of a scale. No, like a hundred bucks to get the day he went. It was like one of the high days. So it was like a hundred something bucks. Oh, so it's like a perfect day to go and they jack up the prices. They jack up the prices.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Because they know they can. Yeah. There's something weird at Disneyland. Like they, they, they have last day is last week of summer. It is fucking slam packed at Disney. Really? Everyone wants one. Hey, one last trip to Disney. Come on. We've got a, we've got a bunch. We've got a bunch. We got, uh, we got, uh, season passes to Knott's Berry Farm, which is, I think, better in my opinion. It doesn't have the, it doesn't have the like fanfare that, that Disney has. Like Disney has a little bit of a story and backstory. And if you've seen the movies, you meet the princesses for a little girl is ultimate, but the girls are in an age now where they just want to ride the rides and the rides at Knott's Berry Farms are so much better. And they serve booze.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I think Disney does too, but they serve booze and the food is fucking through the, the fried chicken is the best fried chicken you've ever had. They've got these Knott's Berry. Um, I mean, the food is fucking phenomenal at Knott's Berry Farm. And the rides are awesome, especially for little kids. They got like a whole section of rides for little kids that you couldn't, you couldn't even do all the rides. I'm not ready yet. Yeah. How, wait, how old is, how old is she? Three and a half. Yeah, I'm not ready yet to see her on a ride, swinging around. Georgia asked tonight, she goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Is she going to be at our, is she going to be in school with Isla? And I was like, I don't, I think she's too young. She was like, wait, how old is she? And Georgia was trying to do
Starting point is 00:30:08 the math. She was like, okay, I think she's five dad. And I was like, she's not five. She's close to being four. So she'll go to whatever next year, whatever transitional K next year. Yeah. And then who the fuck knows where she went? It starts at 95 goes to 119. And that's when it starts at. So on some days, like middle of the week, you start at 95. And on the weekends, it can start at 119. I mean, I'll tell you what, one of the best trips I ever had to Disney, we went down there and it was sold out. It was packed. And they were like, yeah, we're not selling tickets. But the girls were so young, they didn't know the difference between Disney and Disney, like Disney walk, you know, like the shops outside. So we just took them to the shops, bought a couple nightgowns,
Starting point is 00:30:53 bought them a fucking princess, had drinks, had dinner and drove home. We were like, we just, they were like, that's Disney. We're like, yeah, girls, enjoy. That's it. It's amazing to juggle, this dad shit with comedy shit. I said to Fitz Simmons the other day, I had him on my podcast. It's fucking amazing. I don't know how the fuck I do it. I don't know how you, because you do it the way I do it. Like me and you were the same. Fitz Simmons that he was like, he was like, I go, how do you go do sets and then wake up with the kids? And he was like, I don't, he's asleep till 10. No one bothers me. I'm a dad. And that's my job is to work. And that's my job is to do sets. And that's it. I'm sure you said it differently than that. But that was the, that was what I got
Starting point is 00:31:33 out of it. But me and you are still juggling like the go do sets, come home, get up at six in the morning, be awake, get everyone going, then go back, maybe I take a nap for me at like noon. Well, go work, I go work out, I come, I fucking take meetings, do a podcast. Like it's, I just, it's hard as fuck, man. It really is. I, you know, it's like people go look at Louis trajectory of success. I got to be honest with you. And I think Louis would say the same thing. He didn't start really getting successful until he got out of his marriage. Because in that marriage, when you have a person saying to you, Hey, hey, you got, you got to be responsible for this and this and this. It's really hard to justify doing a 10 minute spot, 15 minute spot in the OR and missing
Starting point is 00:32:23 dinner, you know, or missing or not being available for dinner or knowing that you won't get up for drop off because you're not going to get home until two in the morning or one in the morning, you know? You see, for me, I was married and I didn't give a fuck. I had no idea what marriage was. I had no idea what nothing was. I thought you went home, woke your wife up, stabbed her, and then got up the next morning and whatever. I didn't know what it was. I don't think Terry would never say anything to me about my schedule. Yeah. I just decided the things I wanted to do as a human being. Like I just decided I go, I'm going to do this, but this is also what I have to do. You know, first off, if they leave and I sit there and the
Starting point is 00:33:09 computer, the whole time I'm thinking about them, she's driving to school, like I'm having a bad failure. Yeah. You know what? I stopped. You know what? I just go with them now. Yeah. I get up with them and I go with them and me and my wife go have coffee for 20 minutes somewhere. We talk about our day. She splits. I split and that's the beginning of my fucking day. Yeah. I think it's really important. I lived in this town for 14 years before mercy came. I took every fucking stupid jerk off meeting. I've taken every fucking call. I did everything. One day you start deciding what's important and what's not important. Well, I have a YouTube project I want to talk to you about. You know, sorry, brother. We can make millions on the penny program. That's great. It's not
Starting point is 00:33:53 going to fucking happen in my world. Yeah. When do we shoot? We shouldn't call a boss as Monday. It's not going to happen unless you shoot in North Hollywood. It ain't going to happen. Like one day it just snapped on me. You know, Lee and I were doing the podcast in his house and there was a run I had on the road, which it was eight weeks and then two off and another six. I remember that one. Yeah. And okay, I made some money, but the numbers went down the podcast. I gained 30 pounds because of lack of sleep. You just gain weight. Even if you stick to your diet, you're like, what the fuck's going on? Yeah. I haven't destroyed the M&M's in the hotel room and I gained three fucking pounds, you know, and I figured out and I was still putting the time at home
Starting point is 00:34:34 and it was really fucking killing me. Like I have a thing. If I'm home, I'm picking her up and I'm dropping her off. Unless of course you have an envelope. Yeah. If you have an envelope at 430, I will. That means an addition. That means anything of that thing. But if I'm like in an envelope, you're not going to see me. You're not going to see me at 530. People are furious at me because I won't do their podcast, but they have unreasonable podcasts. They want to tape at five o'clock in Culver City. You're never going to see me. Oh, I wish I could say no to those. In traffic. No, I have to. I have to say. I say yes and then forget. I said yes. And then they call up and they're like,
Starting point is 00:35:10 so we tape in Venice at seven and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I got to leave at five. No, no, no, no. I got the girl. I got the girls and I got dinner. Dinner with my family is more important than any fucking podcast. Yeah. You know, that's how I have to look at it. That's how I have to approach this shit. If not, I'm going to go on the road and make a little money, but I'm going to lose that. And what's the sense of fucking doing anything if I don't have them? So no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So now I'm trying to go two on and two off. You know, Thursday, do you think I really want to go to LA fucking zoo? No, or I had two options to go to the LA zoo, meet the rider or go to jujitsu. I had already
Starting point is 00:35:51 been to jujitsu twice and they fucking killed me in the advanced class. I couldn't even walk. I went to the zoo. Yeah. Everybody was happy. What do we do after the zoo? We went to Boston market. I became one of those women that puke after they eat. That's what I am every time I hang out with my daughter because she wants to go to Boston market. So I got a bolemic, that fucking turkey. And the food's getting worse and worse. They had chicken collards, the worst things I ever tasted in my life. Yeah. Now they had something last week that I tried. What the fuck did I eat last week? That wasn't bad. I mean, it doesn't get me sick, the food. So you don't really, but my daughter likes to mac and cheese from there. So if we're on that side of
Starting point is 00:36:28 town, she says mac and cheese and me and my wife literally just like, oh, Jesus fucking Christ. She knows the size of town? Like she'll know me like. Yeah. Okay. Okay. It's like, there's a Kenny Rogers over here. Kenny Rogers. I used to live there all the time. On Highland? Yeah. I used to live right by Highland. That was the filthiest fucking place. Kenny Rogers. And every time you went into like Kenny Rogers, you felt worse and worse about your life. It was down the block from, or what's the diner? Right there on Highland. I don't know the diner. What Kenny Rogers, are you talking about? No, no. Oh, I know the diner you're talking about. The one that, that's like that old schooly one. On Highland. On Highland and Sunset. No, Highland
Starting point is 00:37:09 and Hollywood. Highland and Hollywood. Right by the Wax Museum. Yes, but the fuck is. Dude, I've been to that. Is it Mel's? I've been to that diner. We've had lunch there before. I've had lunch there once, one time, but I think it's a Mel's, isn't it? It's Mel's, but in the middle of that block, Lee, was the Kenny Rogers roasters. And I'm gonna go in there before lunch one day. Yeah. And the people who were in there, the people who were working, like it's one of those things I put the order in and right away I looked behind the kitchen and I'm like, I wonder if I can get my money back. It was too late. This thing was fucking disgusting. It was just disgusting. I put in an order and I guess the guy had a scab on his face. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:37:46 And he's, he was itching his face and all of a sudden I put my order and he's bleeding. And I just was like, hey man, you're bleeding and he was like, huh? Like you can't, cause you can't see that you're bleeding on your face. And he's just like, I go, you're bleeding. Can you go clean yourself up? Yeah. Kenny Rogers is a fucking beast. Oh my God, that was disgusting. Yeah, it's tough to be in a dad and doing all this. And it's, but right now Mercy's at the age where you can, if you dip out for two weeks, she, she notices, but it doesn't affect her. George is at the age right now where it affects her, where she's like, like, wow, why, why you have to, like, she's really excited that tour got
Starting point is 00:38:26 canceled. Believe it or not, it affects them because they act different. Yeah. They told my wife at school, she goes this certain day she comes in and she's not the same. Yeah. You know, and Terry goes, that's cause he was out of town. He didn't walk or eat and talk to her, whatever the fuck it is. So like I said, I had a child when I was 30 and I wasn't this, I wasn't disenthused, like it seemed more of a chore to me then. And because of that, it meant that I was doing the wrong thing. I was doing all the wrong moves back then. So now it's not a chore to me. I know what I have to do. This last week we had her off, me and my wife held it together. I would watch her from nine to 10 30 and then she would come back from yoga. I go to Jiu Jitsu and we come back
Starting point is 00:39:09 and we meet and eat something and then I do my fucking thing. Yeah. You know, my agents took me out to dinner the other night and the whole conversation was about me doing three weeks a month and I was like, guys, it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. I love doing my podcast. I love focusing on the podcast. I love spending time with my family. I love those weekends off and I'm 53. When I go out there, I bang it out. Those shows are packed. I got to take a picture of everybody. You do two shows on the Friday and Saturday. When I go back to my room, I'm standing there and my feet going into the fucking floor from energy. Yeah. I'm sore. My hips are fucking sore. I got to go back to the room and do mobility fucking drills and take a shower at the end of
Starting point is 00:39:49 the night. So, you know, then you got to fucking get up early and catch the first flight out. Oh, that shit runs on you, man. It builds. It builds. Fuck you. And those fucking planes are filled with malaria and cancer. They got radiation on those fucking planes. You know, it's like smoking 22 cigarettes every time you fly. Really? I'll tell you what, I started noticing I was getting bloated in my ankles on planes. That's why you got to, you got to sit there. When you sit there, you got to do pump legs because the Chinese consider the calf the pump of the bottom half of your body. Really? Yeah. That's why you got to do that. You got to do leg raises like toe raises when you're sitting there on a plane. So I'll sit there and every couple of minutes, that's why
Starting point is 00:40:29 you get stoned because you'll think about it. I'll fuck. I've never smoked pot on a plane. No, you don't smoke pot on a plane. You eat a pot cookie and you get on the fucking plane. I got to try that one time. When you sit on, you get nice and fucking baked. But you do this with your ankles when you get on the plane. And the Chinese, I learned this directly from them, so they consider the calf is the pump to the lower body. So your ankles won't get fucking swollen. So you do calf raises? Yeah, right there. Right when I'm sitting there. Right there. I just do this every 22 minutes. And then every 35 minutes, I get up and walk to the fucking bathroom. I take my time. Even if I don't have to go to the bathroom, I go to the bathroom. Yeah. Because that's why I always sit
Starting point is 00:41:05 on 1A. One, one seat, whatever that, that first hour of the thing. That's my seat. Bulkhead for Bulkhead Isle. I love that seat. That's my seat. That's my seat. Yeah. I'll give a Frenchman's fuck. And I got direct, I'm watching that bathroom the whole fucking time. And I'm watching that little dirty bitch in there. And every time she goes to the back, I hit a vaping pen and put it right back down and blow the smoke in the blanket. You got to work it from all angles. I told you, I just stopped drinking on planes, right? Yeah, because it calms you down, your anxiety. Yeah. I can't imagine getting an anxiety attack on a plane. This is my biggest fear. In my bag, I have Xanax, Valium, Snot, what do you call that shit? Even though I don't use it
Starting point is 00:41:51 no more. Cocaine? No. Oh, nasal spray, nasal spray. I have every anti-anxiety thing I can have, just in case Q-tips. That marijuana never does it. That was the only time I've ever flown on edibles was the last time we went to Austin. I'm going to do it this time too. I know because you do it at 4am, but it's just, that was the only time. It wasn't real anxiety, but my heartbeat just started going and you can't, I don't like getting up and moving on planes. So like, especially as a bigger dude, and I was big when I... How much weight have you lost? About 90 pounds. That's fucking insane, Lee. Thank you, man. That's so good. You look fantastic. I'm trying. My diet hasn't been as good, but I've been working out so that's, I mean, you work out a lot. You
Starting point is 00:42:37 look pretty good. I'm the skinniest I've been in a long time, but I'm still fucking fat. So... It's a tough journey. It's a tough journey after a certain age. And you add that to the mix, you know, you want to take care of yourself. You know, there's not a lot of comedians that are like 20 years ago. There's not any comics that you hear weekend things anymore, you know. Did you have a book creation that you got fucked up in Pittsburgh and puked on the second show? That doesn't exist in our business at all. No, it used to be all the time. All the fucking time between Mitch Hedberg and Pablo. I remember Geraldo and Harfer, they were like, I was like, oh, Geraldo was just here. And they were like, yeah, it was bad. He took
Starting point is 00:43:18 too much Xanax and he had to lay on the floor and did this set laying on his back on the floor because the room was spinning. I did that in Bulma. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he tell me that story. You know what the most outstanding thing from the story is? What? That at four and a clock Saturday night, I call Slaynam's brother. He was a wigger. He's a rapper at the time. This is 2005. The longest show that just came out. I'm in Bulma on Texas. I told the story on Mark Marin. It was not, not the Mark Marin podcast on the TV show. It was not a lot or not a scripted thing. That was a personal story that I went. The guy picked me up. I got in the car and I go, and I was, I'm fucking lit. I had 30 volumes, 30, 10 milligram
Starting point is 00:44:06 values in three days. Drinking Yeager Maestro. Next time you get Joshua. Ask Joshua. Tell me the story about Joey Diaz and Bulma on Texas. They know about third. I went down there, but anyway, I went to buy Coke and they were neo-Nazis. I'm talking, it's behind Bulma on Texas, a neighborhood behind Bulma on Texas. So it's a little bit on the rough end. And I went down and Slay told me his brother goes, listen, before we go in there, I just want you to know they ain't friendly with fucking people if you're scared. I said, listen, you see this, there's $400 bills here. Everybody loves $400 bills. I don't give a fuck who you hate. And I went in there and they talked to me. They even asked for a national. Now that was Cuban. I was joined out of my fucking
Starting point is 00:44:51 mind. I couldn't even talk. The volumes had me going, I was fucking like this. It was horrible. That was the last memory of that weekend. Really? And then you had to do a show that night? I did the show Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I flew in Thursday and the kid was supposed to have to blow for me. And he goes, I got no blown. I go, what can you get me? What can you do? And he goes, I get your value. He told me and I gave him whatever the price was. And he goes, it's 30. I go, fine. Just bring me 30, whatever I don't need. I'll bring back to my friend in LA, had a friend in Hollywood that they found. I'll bring them back for him. I started popping them. Popping them. First night, like I ain't one, then two. Then I went to the fucking bar and I drank
Starting point is 00:45:36 a little bit. I didn't get cooked up the first night. Went back to the hotel, got up, did some radio, you know, went back to the room, felt okay. Felt good. Yeah. Popped another one to sleep at three. Your nerves feel good. That's the crazy thing about those. Slept till about six, got up and was a little groggy. Had some coffee, had a couple fucking camel lights, you know, had some fucking papados and went to the show. And at the show, I started pop. Once I knew the Coke was coming, I started popping them on Friday night. Popping, popping, popping. And there were little brown bags. So I wouldn't count them. I would just pop them like fucking tic-tacs. Friday night, I was gone. I must have gone to bed at one. I slept till 3 30 the next afternoon. One of those
Starting point is 00:46:20 things, you just wake up, your stomach's empty. You're fucked up. Like you need coffee, more coffee, a shower, another shower. You got to jerk off. You got to go for a walk, take another nap. It was one of those days and I had two shows. And again, I went in the bag and took a handful and put them in my pocket. Then the Coke came. And then we did the first show. And the first show people were sending me Yeager Mises. Beaumont, Texas. This was a great little comedy room that was owned by two guys. And the one guy rubbed the other one. Then the guy hit him in the head with a bamboo thing. And that was the end of that fucking two. Tremendous. Tremendous. It was first owned by two black people. They were very successful. A black couple with kids had a theater in
Starting point is 00:47:01 Beaumont. And the kid was a bartender. And they quit the business. The kid that was the bartender opened up his own club. He's still in Houston. He's a great kid, slayed him. So this Saturday night, I'm at the club. I got the package. I'm not hitting it. I'm on stage still. So I wouldn't do Coke on stage before. I would do Coke afterward. So I do the first show and I'm fucking hammered. Because that valium was I took Thursday. And those ones I took Friday, they're still in the system. Oh, they don't go anywhere. Percolating like a mother. Hold them on the fat cells. Hold it on the fat cells. And every time you hit a joint, you get even more fucked up. It ignites one of those fat cells. Every time you have a cocktail, it just pulls them out of the
Starting point is 00:47:42 fat cell. So if you eat a 10 milligram valium, your fat takes half of it. Five milligrams get gets released in your bloodstream. The other five go in your fucking fat. And they just get stored and stored. And here you are doing gin and tonics. You don't even need Cosby to show up. Nature works itself here. After three nights of eating Xanax, chicks will tell you they black out. I know tons of chicks eat those Adderalls and all that shit. They black out when they fucking drink. That shit adds to it. So don't think that. So here I am. 400 pounds, sweating profusely on stage. I'm so hammered. The first year I got laid down. They're sending shots. I'm drinking 16 shots on stage. I'm 400 fucking pounds. I already got the eight ball. It's fucking beige. It's beige.
Starting point is 00:48:26 It's beige. This coke was right from the cartel. Right from the cartel. It's beige. Oh my god. It was beige. And when it smelled through the paper, I could smell the fucking ether right through the paper. I was like, oh, this is going to be a good night. I'm going to go back to the hotel room. I'm going to take a fucking. And I had a plane from Houston at like 730 in the morning. I'm like, I'm going to fucking snort this fucking eight ball. I'm going to drink and all of a sudden I go to the fucking bathroom. I come out of the bathroom and there's a broad waiting. And she's like, do you want to do a couple? I want to add a coke. And I got the coke in my pocket, but she's got some. And I go, what do you want to do? You have a car? And she goes, no, my husband's here.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Let's do it in the woman's bathroom. So we go in the woman's bathroom and do a few bumps in the woman's bathroom. She leaves. And next thing you know, I fucking pass out. I get up. The coke is still there. My money's still there. The phone's ringing. I can't fucking even, I can't move. It was horrible. I definitely owed deed. If it wasn't for my blood type and my experience, I would have been dead because I remember getting up and I was like, you got to check out or give me $48. And I just gave him like a 50. I go, I'll leave it. I couldn't even talk. I went back to bed, got up at eight puked, went back to bed. I finally got a Monday and call my wife. Like, I finally call Terry like Monday. I'm like, Terry, you're not going to believe this. I'm fucked up.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Yeah. And I stayed in that hotel room till Tuesday and I had my friend come and get me and take me to this fucking thing. So what happened with the flight? Who knows? I didn't come to till Thursday. I didn't really start talking. Like I, at one minute it was Saturday and the next minute it was fucking Thursday. Good God. Like that's how fucking deep I was into drugs. But I was fucking sick till Thursday. You know what? It took me years to eat another sleeping pill after that. That was, it was those bars. Those Zambars? Those Zambars? Those are fucking back jack. Oh dude. We had a friend addicted to those and they wouldn't even take him in rehab. Why? Because you got to, I guess you got to like
Starting point is 00:50:43 Benzos are the hardest to detox off of. They're real dangerous. I used to take a ton of Benzos. What are Benzos? That's the classification for Xanax and Valium. Is a Benzo diopamine or whatever. And so, but they're really dangerous to come off of. Because you can, I guess you can have a stroke. If you're overdosing, your body's dependent on them. It's really hard. But out of buddy, they wouldn't even take him into rehab. They were like, they denied him rehab. They're like, tell them to get off Benzos first. Yeah, I was, uh, that was a rough one. What is that you're burning? I'm trying to burn the saw off. So when they stick it into the pipe, it doesn't stick and attract all the others. And
Starting point is 00:51:26 then they see it goes nice and easy. Like a knife with butter. If you want your bonga, do you want a bonga? You're going to sit there like Johnny Lamont. Do a fucking bonga with us. This is the pure cush from, from Buds and Roses that plays over on Ventura. Wait, do you not go into the other spot anymore? I go to Perennia, but I got to mix it up. I've been going to Perennia for the last year. It's all the same growers. So you get used to their whole mix after a while. You know, so let me try something else. Josh Wolf goes to Bud and Roses. Let me go up there and see what it's about. Very nice people. Very nice people. Very knowledgeable. You know, very, uh, they explain everything. In fact, they explain too much. Like they tell
Starting point is 00:52:05 you too much. I don't want to know this much. Just give me the shit. They kill Lucifer. And I'll be on my way. They want to talk to you about histories and they won the cannabis cup. You know, yeah, but they're very nice fucking people. They're very nice people. The girl was knowledgeable and tough. I bought, uh, some sonic boom, some pure cush. And, uh, I said, the sativa I got was fucking really good. Now, do you notice the difference between sativas and indicas? Yes, you do. I could smell the difference. It's smelling the sativa and the indica. And I could also, when I get high, like I get, I like sativas that get me fucking stoned. Yeah. I don't want to smoke a sativa that dictured me. And then everybody else is like,
Starting point is 00:52:48 did you feel the body? I listen, but I want to body. I'll kick myself in the stomach. You know what I'm saying? And release fucking my adrenals. What's going on over there? But it's, um, I had actually a question for you. You seem like a very extroverted person. Yeah. But I listened to your podcast and you always talk, you talk a lot about like feeling nervous or anxious or like worrying about what people think. Yeah. And that's my world. Like that's like, I was thinking about it. If we went to high school together, I would have hated you, but wanted to be you. No, you would have, me and you would have gotten along really well. You think so? Like in my head, you seem like a party or like a cool guy and I just wasn't.
Starting point is 00:53:26 So, but so it, it, it, it, it always surprises me or it used to surprise me a lot when people who seem to be extroverted and love being the life of the party are going through some of the same issues. Yeah. Yeah. I, you know, it's so funny. I don't, uh, I, I, I've really been regretting it, my honesty, because I've, I've shared way too much on my podcast. Like people know everything about me and I started going like, oh, I should have played this cool. Like, uh, like, you know, like, and just told everyone I was cool and I was a badass and I don't fucking have anxiety attacks on planes and I don't drink boxes of wine and whatever the fuck secrets I should have kept. But yeah, man, I have, uh, I got diagnosed with, with, uh, social anxiety disorder. When I first
Starting point is 00:54:13 moved to LA, some doctor told me I had it and I was like, you're out of your fucking mind. I'm a comedian and he goes, okay. And I just left and then I realized, oh yeah. I don't, like one of the things that drives me nuts is like going to like the improv and, and I don't know people's names and just, I get like embarrassed. I don't know their names and they know me and then going like, hey, like it and like, and like, I don't like answering on my phone. I don't like checking my messages. Like I just, it's like, I really, I'm, I'm kind of a neurotic regularly. Like Joey knows, like I don't, you, the half third times I do spots, Joey knows this for a fact is because Joey calls me and goes, you're coming with me. Let's go. And he just picks me up and
Starting point is 00:54:50 we go to a spot. Like I have a hard time calling him for a veils. Like just that phone call gives me anxiety. Oh yeah. I can imagine. I used to love not like a lot of times you'll hear people be like, oh, I love when people canceled plans. I used to love when people wouldn't answer the phone. Like if I would call them to like, oh, maybe we should do something. If I call them and they don't answer the phone. Oh, great. I like, I used to go, but it's weird because I would get bummed about in high school. Like I'd be bummed like, oh, everyone else is out, but I would never call someone and talk to them. No, no. If I wasn't at the movies or, or at my best friend's house, like the one friend I had, there's no chance of me going. I flew into South Africa one night
Starting point is 00:55:31 and I had, and I was supposed to meet up with my whole crew and their flights got postponed. So they weren't coming in until like 24 hours later. And I just, I literally was like, oh, I'm locking down in this hotel room, hard fucking core. And I loved it. I like, I like, I remember I woke up, I had nothing to do all day. And I like, we had a little pools out by our, our, we had little suites that had pools that overlook the ocean. And I like got on my pool and they came back and took, watched a movie and fucking had a glass of wine. It was always the fucking best. I love it. My wife calls it cave time. She's like, every man needs cave time or like you go in and you don't fucking talk to anybody and you just disappear inside you and
Starting point is 00:56:15 you get small. I love that feeling. I feel that becoming a comedian gave me social anxiety. The last 12 years. So that's crazy. Cause I really believe that's what I live with social anxiety forever. I don't, I can't under, I can't believe them. Even when I was creeping and I was a creepy dude and robbing people and I'd have to walk into that bar and three people would say that motherfucker, Rob, that drug dealer, I wouldn't get anxiety. I would look at them like, who gives a fuck. Obviously you're not doing nothing. I get my mind. I would give them that type of look. I didn't get social anxiety like I get now. I think the comedy over the years gave it to me. It flipped the
Starting point is 00:57:04 switch too much. It was too much. Somewhere you get overstimulated one night and you just don't come back. I, I, I, one of the roughest things for me is for me to go on the road and my behavior on the road now. It's sort of very, uh, Jack Nicholson in fucking that movie when he's just a fucking nut. You know, I have a, no, the other one, when he's a nut, what is it? No, when he, when he's a fucking writer and he's with Helen Hunt and he washes his hands and he doesn't have friends and he's racist and he's fucking whatever. Well, not that I'm racist. I'm just saying that when I travel now, because of my situation, okay, if I was single, when I travel now, I would be a completely different person and couple of extremes. I wouldn't mean that I would
Starting point is 00:57:55 still drink and do blow. I'm just saying that I would now, because of the situation we're in, when we are alone, I missed that. Those two girls, I missed my wife and daughter, but when we call and they're at the thing and they're playing in the house and you're in your hotel room and you're just relaxing and the only thing you have on your mind, whether it's to get the steak or the chicken florentine from room service, because you're not even leaving the fucking room. Like you've already known, like I'm not leaving this fucking room. I will not leave that room. So the next moment, I will not leave that room at all. Okay. I will not leave that room at all. And people really don't understand that
Starting point is 00:58:38 since we have so much activity, when we go on the road now, it's a fucking, it's my piece. I don't want to go to dinner. I don't want to go to the movies. I don't want to meet you nowhere. I don't want to go to, I'm not, you're not going to see me in a fucking bar. The only place you're going to see me is at the hotel gym and at the fucking hotel, whatever's downstairs or whatever's down the block. I love these people calling it a fantastic Cuban restaurant. How close is it to the hotel? 28 minutes. Oh, it's not happening. Dude, people tell me, people tell me, people tell me we get done the show and they're like, Bert, come out with us. I go, where are you, unless it's the bar next door to the hotel or next door to the club I'm at, I'm not getting in a car
Starting point is 00:59:20 and driving to downtown Pittsburgh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. Man, I got stuck in Omaha. No, I got stuck in Des Moines for like two days because of weather and, and man, it was beautiful. The girls weren't home, they were on the road. So I was just flying, they were like in Tampa or something. And I, I got up and they called me and they said, your flight's been postponed. We were trying to get you on a flight tomorrow, but all flights today have been canceled. And we're having a hard time, we may not be able to get you out until Wednesday. And this is fucking Monday morning. And I go, you know what, don't worry about it. And I sat in a hotel Monday and Tuesday,
Starting point is 01:00:01 and I like planned out my day. I was like, I'm going to the movies. I'm going to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm going to go look at shoes over the Nike outlet. I'm going to go back into my room. I'm going to take an Ambien at, at, at fucking six and go to sleep, wake up at two in the morning, go see if I have a glass of wine and watch it. Like I just love that shit. Disappearing, man. I know I have some type of social anxiety, but I'm not going to go get a pill for it. Yeah. I just deal with it. I just deal with whatever. If my body says I'm not in the fucking mood, you're in no danger. I guess what? I'm not in the mood for anything. Yeah. I'm not in the mood for anything ever, ever, ever, ever, like I'm in the mood. I,
Starting point is 01:00:42 I, I, I cannot go to see a movie at a premiere. Those, all those social type events, those days. Dude, I look at a long guy. I wish I had, you know, who does, who's really good at it is Brendy Shaw. He goes to like movie premieres all the time and loves that. And I just look at it and I go, I wish I loved it. I would be sitting, I guess if you're like, if, I guess if I had his resume. Listen, go to a premiere and being in the movie and sitting there is two different fucking situations. Yeah. Two different fucking situations. Wait, what do you mean? Being in the movie. Yeah. And now you got to sit there with 200 fucking people who are sitting looking at you every time the movie comes on. I was on a fucking plane one time
Starting point is 01:01:22 and by the grace of God, grudge match was on. Grudge match is on. It's in the fucking plane. And I'm sitting there next to Rogan and Rogan is like, isn't this the movie you're in? I'm like, nah. And all of a sudden he goes back to bed and I'm sitting there and I could see the chicks next to me like looking and also at one point they go and I'm like, like, I didn't even know what the fuck to do. When you go to a premiere and you have to sit there and look at your shitty fucking movie and make believe it's funny and the people behind you are laughing at your jokes because they know you're sitting there kind of fucking disgusting. I'll tell you what, but the best was denier or a grudge match for me. Out cold slept out cold. Are you serious?
Starting point is 01:02:03 The movie started his head tip back. And next, you know, I saw his mouth open up like the fat dude in in a in seven. Remember when they found the fact that his mouth opened up? It was like that. And he fucking slept throughout the whole movie. When the movie got up, he was tip top, Magoo. He was shaking hands and taking pictures like he enjoyed the fucking movie. Shut up. And you listen, who wants to sit and watch? That's the whole thing. I don't want to go into a premiere. Listen, if Bert Kreischer says to me, I'm in a fucking denier or movie, I'm in a Stallone movie. I'm in an adjacent strand movie. My wife can't go. Will you go with me? I would go with you because I know what you're going to go through. And I could calm you down
Starting point is 01:02:40 while you're there a little bit. I know exactly what to do. I get up. I get up. I act like Lee acted at that fucking gas station. You said you acted weird with Paula. Like here I am sitting at the premiere of the longest yard and next to me is Cameron Crowe, the guy from Gladiator. No. Yeah, that's Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe is what Damon is. Okay. And I'm sitting behind the producers of the longest yard. This is how retarded I am. I'm sitting there and I'm sitting there like this and all of a sudden Terry goes, look to your left. And I look to my left and it's Russell Crowe and I go, holy shit. But the best thing, he had just shot Cinderella Man. Cinderella Man is about a movie about a guy in my neighborhood. That was we all grew up. We used to shovel this fucking dry
Starting point is 01:03:26 when he gave us dollars and no went to whatever that guy's name was. And he had the jacket on that said Cinderella Man, North Bergen, New Jersey and something else. And I look over and go, hey man, that movie you did about whatever the fucking guy's name was. Iceman. No. The one about the fucking boxer. Yeah. The one about the boxer. They fucking Roy or Hudson, Henry Hudson Park. No. What the fuck is it? What was it, Lee? What's his shirt? What's Cinderella Man type in Cinderella? Yeah. Type in the name of Hudson. What the fuck is it now? Jesus Christ, I'm getting old. That's Cinderella Man. There you go. That's it. No, that's it. Yeah, Cinderella Man. What's the name of the fucking star of the movie? James Brabs. Braddock. Braddock Park is a park in my
Starting point is 01:04:17 hometown in North Bergen because he lived by that. Yeah. So when I saw the jacket, I go, hey man, that fucking movie you did, that's going to be the movie of the year. And the producers of my movie is sitting in front of me. And they all turn around like, what the fuck did you just say? And I was like, dog, it's about a guy from my grub. The fucking grub with all his grandkids. I'm not kidding you. They were doing them with cops. They all lived there afterwards. Who gives a fuck? That's the difference between you. I don't know if you have social anxiety as much as you don't fuck around with idiots. Well, no, that's how I take care of my anxiety by acting completely out of the box. Everybody knows I would never say two words to that fucking muscle
Starting point is 01:04:57 crone or anybody else or that stature. I would sit there and watch the movie. If he said something to me, then I'd say something to him. But yeah, I would never tap him on the shoulder and go, I love Gladiator. Can I take a picture? I wouldn't do that to the poor guy. The guy's trying to sit there and enjoy a fucking movie. But that's what I said to him. But I remember I did that, so I wouldn't get that anxiety. But the thing that broke me out of that was one, I just happened to turn Let him in on. And Fucko was on there. The guy who thinks he's 20, but he's really 90. Doug Stanhope hangs out with him. Johnny Depp is on there. And he's talking about that. Let him in his life. So this movie you just did, how does it look? Yeah, another
Starting point is 01:05:37 bracelets and eye makeup. You're fucking 55, but leave it alone. You're not kidding. Nobody. I love that he was in Fucko and we tried to guess it. Yeah, he shows up on there. He shows up in mallets and bands with bracelets on and T-shirt. But you know what, bro? He's not a bad guitarist. I gotta give you that much. Johnny Depp is across the board a fucking great actor. Oh no, he's tremendous. He's an amazing actor. Did I fucking say he was a bad actor? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fucko, you started calling him Fucko. Fucko. Well, I don't know him. The guy, but he's a nice guy. You know, Fucko, he'd understand. It's a game Joey has, just figuring out what. It should be a game show. Joey describes celebrities and you go, uh, Fucko. He's 20,
Starting point is 01:06:22 but he's really 50. So what are we talking about? I don't know. Oh, you saw him on Letterman. I saw him on Letterman. He was talking about, Letterman said to him, when you shoot your fucking movies, do you watch him? And he goes, I don't watch dick. And Letterman goes, what are you talking about? You don't watch dailies. He goes, listen, I don't watch dick. I let him in and goes, but you're, what's his name? Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp. And he goes, listen, I don't want to see me. And I don't want to hear my fucking voice. He didn't say fucking, but he meant to like, and right there I gained confidence because that's what I have. Yeah. So as I hear my voice, I got to go. Oh dude, a minute, a minute and a half, not even, not even one minute. There's
Starting point is 01:07:07 all I need to do is hear your voice, especially when somebody else is in the room. That's even more embarrassing when somebody else is in the fucking room. Wow. So he said, he goes, I don't watch nothing because it tears me apart. He goes, I shoot it and I go home. So I knew there wasn't something wrong with me. I knew that somebody else suffered from this shit. I just don't like it. I went to premieres and they were fun, but they were for shit. I shot, which really puts a little fucking pressure on you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And then like for spider-man two, they were asking me to do other like things. And I said, no, I couldn't, I couldn't have one fucking scene, a movie. What am I going to go make believe? Like I'm the star of
Starting point is 01:07:49 the fucking movie for. Yeah. So I went to the cast and crew and then I went to the regular premiere, but they were like, do you want to go to the New York premiere or whatever? Because Oprah liked that scene. Yeah. And I was like, no, I'm too embarrassed to fucking do that shit. So I didn't go to that one. I went to grudge match because it was the Nero. I had to go out of respect for him. Yeah. Fuck Stallone. Fuck everybody else. I had to go for him. And I went to the longest shot and that was just embarrassing. Why? Because I was 400 pounds. I couldn't fit in a tuxedo. So I had to wear a warm-up suit given to me by big daddy. You know, the whole night I was there, I wanted to snort, but I couldn't and everything was there. Like everything was there. Free boo, champagne,
Starting point is 01:08:31 pills, narcotics, steroids. I could have done whatever I wanted to. So why didn't you? Because I didn't want to show Adam that he put me in this fucking movie. You know, I didn't want him to even see a dab of me under the fucking influence and there'd be other people there and they were waiting for me to do that. Do you know what I'm saying? They knew they were suspect and I was a junkie, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. This is what they're expecting. This is your channel. Everybody's going there going, I wonder what the fuck's he's going to be doing below tonight. So I can't do below. I would always keep him tricked. And then there was somebody who would say, so he's a junkie. Well, he was at the premiere. He wasn't even drinking and he seemed
Starting point is 01:09:10 okay to me, you know what I'm saying? So it's when they expect you and you don't get fucking high that that's the whole trick of it. So I wouldn't get high. You don't want them to have the ammunition to say, no, you should have seen him. On the biggest night of his life, he was fucking hammered. Fucking hammered. But just not hammered. With your jaw going from side to side, your 400 pounds, you're sweating profusiously. People know. People fucking do know. I mean, if you had told me this 10 years ago, I would have said nobody fucking knows. I get away with no. Everybody knows. Everybody knows your skin color changes. I see people now and I know who's doing below. Really? Oh yeah. It shows now. Now I see them and I know they're doing below by
Starting point is 01:09:51 two ways. The actions and the color of their skin because I recognize them from the color of my fucking skin was Tony Bennett cocksucker. Oh, what time is it? It's late. It's late but early. Do you put this in the I like this to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart? It's clogged up. I got to fucking take it home and boil it. Fucking cat blood or some shit. Somebody is twice as smart as I. I somebody who will swear to be true as you used to do with me. How you doing Bert? Who'll leave you to learn doing good.
Starting point is 01:10:57 That misery loves company. How are you feeling? I'm pretty good. It's not. I'm not going crazy, which I thought I'd be going fucking. You were making a couple fucking noises again and I heard them. I didn't know what was going on. I saw you at the very beginning of this and when Joey said something, you closed your eyes and I was watching you try to ride the inside of your eyelids. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Now there's been a couple moments where I've been a little out of it. Now when do you shoot your special? I shot it. When? I already shot it. When? Like uh two months ago. Oh okay. That's what you were saying. I thought you and you're starting a new material for the new material for the new hour but I'm gonna be
Starting point is 01:11:38 honest with you. It's going slow. Oh it always does. If you only go out one night a week. Yeah. If you go out six nights a week you'll get 10 minutes of fucking week. That's what I always figured out myself. Really? I want to go to the comic store two nights a week. Well when you walk in there you gotta follow Dave Chappelle Rogan. Yeah. What are you gonna do? You're gonna try your story about Isla at 11 o'clock at night? You don't have the heart to it. No. So you catch yourself doing the same fucking material but you don't want to look like an asshole. So what I did was cut out the store one night or two and now I go to different haunts like we go to Tuesday nights at a black horse or whatever the fuck it's called and you do 30 minutes 20
Starting point is 01:12:11 minutes and it's something different. I don't have to feel like fucking uh you told CAA's in the fucking room or whatever. I don't need that aggravation. You told us a joke the other night. I don't even know if it was you meant to tell it but I had written a joke similar to it on Saturday but my joke was so much weaker than your joke and as soon as I heard it come out of your mouth I was like fuck. I was like son of a bitch man I need to get on stage more because you just ripped it. I don't even know if you would even remember it but as soon as I heard it I went motherfucker. I gotta fucking I gotta fucking hustle. I want to start doing the ha ha more again too. If I taste them. Yeah. The ha ha is where I got the best at. Yeah. You tell how you want to close
Starting point is 01:12:54 the shows on the weekends. Yeah. Tell how I'll close both fucking shows basically but more importantly I'll close the late show. Let me do two spots somewhere else. I like the I like the ha ha energy. Yeah. If you go and I like the ha ha on Wednesday nights it's a great place. It's a great place to work. That's Jack Jr.'s night. That's Jack Jr.'s. Right now I'm about listen. I'm to the point in my life that I can't do something for six weeks. Like right now if somebody came to me and said Joey we have a sitcom it's going to be 11 weeks. Okay. 11 episodes. How many episodes am I doing? Eight. Can I do five? Like you follow me up to that point because I know you get to an age and you know yeah they come to you with all this shit and money and you know you know let me tell
Starting point is 01:13:39 you something listen I appreciate this and I appreciate that I appreciate this but I can't cover that spread. Yeah. If I had to do the whole outboard tour that's tough. Yeah. That's tough waking up and fucking West Bomb and I got to take a plane to Tampa then waking up again and taking an eight hour car ride that that's tough for three or four weeks in a row. You earned your fucking geetus. I was dreading that shit. You know why? Because I can't do that no more. I can't do that no more. I could basically go into a comedy club Thursday through Sunday morning. You got five good shows on. Yeah. If I go on the road for three weeks on the road I feel bad those third week because I become a robot. I really don't want to do it. Yeah. I really don't want to do it. I do
Starting point is 01:14:21 it because they trick me. They switch the week. They don't give me an extra five hundred dollars. You know and you're like against yourself and when you're there you're burnt out. Yeah. I could do two on two off all day long. I can do. I can do three. I can do three in a row. I can do three in a row. Two on one off. Great. Two on one off. No. I can do two on one off. Two on two off right now at this point in my life. Two on one off is fucking tough. I'm doing three in like right right when what was it September. What are we in August September October and October I start back up again. Like I'm off. I do one date I think in the very beginning of September September 9th 10th 11th I'm in Toledo and then I'm off until and then I go on cowheads
Starting point is 01:15:16 cruise for a week and then I start up hard in October. I do three on one off. I can't believe you already have new years. Yeah. Jesus you're a bad motherfucker. No. No. You know what it is? I don't know. I'll tell you off air. It's not. I'll tell you off air. So you do have new years. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But I don't have it new years. Nobody's even offered me a fucking new years. Really? But you know what man if you come to me with new years I'll tell you again. I think I'll turn it down anyway and I think my agent already put that buzz. I told him the truth. I want the ice house. Yeah. The back room at eight o'clock. I got offered new years originally real early but it was just a conversation with you know with Grossman and he just talking about
Starting point is 01:15:58 it. He's like hey you want to do new years. We're in the same room together and I was like yeah and the only reason it took off is that he he offered me I thought pretty solid money but someone said they could get me more money and they were like let's see if we can get you more money. I told Grossman I said I'm gonna see if I can get more money and he was like that's fine and I got more money but it was like it was a long I mean it was like I want to say it was like two months ago that I got new years but it was all based on Grossman. Mark Grossman just saying hey do you want to do new years in like I think it's in Philly. So you know I'm a good New Year's act because I drink so I think some clubs are like let's grab them for New Year's
Starting point is 01:16:34 now real early at a low price before he's got a new year's booked. So it's really crazy how when you drink on stage or beer sales or alcohol sales like 50% more through the fuck and it kills me that I'll do a shot or two from time to time but I can't put them down like you know more. Oh I put them down. You go to Texas and you start toasting them. They'll do one for one. I'm doing dude I just got I just started working in Texas again I'll do it next year. San Antonio I've never done it before yet it was on San Antonio. 17 years ago. LOL. This was a different one. This was the river the center the mall. Yeah I'm doing San Antonio for the first time. I'm excited too because you know our podcast numbers are big in Texas. Like I imagine we
Starting point is 01:17:22 probably the same podcast demographics like Ohio. You don't go to Houston or Dallas. Never. I used to go to Dallas a bunch and I got one complaint and they stopped bringing me it. Not I take that back that's that's inaccurate. I did get a complaint and I don't think I did it the next year but they've given me offers and I've canceled on them. So you know and my guy in Texas was Trey but then he I think he got fired. But that was the guy I love Trey I thought he was great and then in Houston I used to do Laugh Stop with Pete. Pete Pirelli you remember him? Yeah he just texted me the other day got a new wife. Pete was one of the best comedy club owners I ever worked for. Dude towards the end of my cocaine reign. He was he had the best
Starting point is 01:18:13 club in the world and Pete and the guy who had it before him it was also a big drug. Alcohol club. When you went to Houston for five days oh my god. Yeah. You were gonna come back fucking see if you could see Joey Diaz cold case from 2000. If somebody put it up online I want to show you what I look like. Really? After being in Houston for two weeks. Dude between the sugar and the Jagermeister. The fucking two eggs with french fries and toast at the Greek place. Yeah. And the fucking the kala cheese and the fucking this and that and this and that. Listen it's a goddamn shame. It's a fucking shame. That club that was probably I did more drugs at that fucking club than any club ever. And then Pete Pirelli took it over and Pete used to let me stay at his
Starting point is 01:19:08 partner's house. They said you could stay at the hotel they gotta come get you. Or you could stay in the condos where he lived with his wife and his parrot. Across. I used to stay across the whole way. Pete was a big video gamer. Oh my god and they'd skate they'd fucking see me the next day and go did you call the pizza last night in the middle of the night. And I go no why. They go oh we heard cars that's my drug dealer. I would never tell them you know. They had run it. Watch how big I was. This is 2000. Two weeks straight. Two weeks after fucking being in Houston. This is what I would look like. Swollen from the soul. This 2000. 2002. 2003. Maybe you can find this cab driver.

Starting point is 01:38:22 I was too young but right after my dad died he picked me up every Saturday and take me to the movies on amusement park and he was a real godfather I mean he was committed to it yeah and then he would go on these little prison things and my mom would tell me he's in California in Miami and they would get out and they would start the same relationship again with him for two or three years but when I was about five or six he would take me to all those James Bond movies her majesty's secret service and really fucking mr.

Starting point is 01:52:08 one of the one of the best things I did at 25 was meet the girl that I had Jackie with but at the same time it was one of the worst things because looking back I wasn't ready for a relationship with 25 guys you know were you oh no David I mean looking back 25 and I know you had girlfriends I'm not saying that you at 25 every guy in this room had a girlfriend but think of how it ended think of how it went think of how they pushed your buttons you didn't end up with them because nobody in this room got married at 26 or 27 we all maybe I made a mistake and even shacked up at one for years I want to live like Charles Bronson I never thought I would have lived with a fucking woman ever like when I was 21 if you would ask me would I live with a woman
Starting point is 01:52:56 I look at you and go not oh in a million fucking years you know it's crazy though is that now you can see how those women live their lives you can see them online and like one of the girls is taking planes down to Guatemala to help orphans for her church she's very very Christian I'm like oh thank god I didn't end up with that and then another one is posting like like inspirational but weird conservative inspirational female statements and you're just like like I'm like fuck that was the one like and then I look at Leanne and I go oh I'm so glad yeah I ended up with that fucking check oh I'm so fucking glad a great listener from the church I said something on a periscope and he sent some stuff to Lee and there was an old girlfriend of
Starting point is 01:53:51 mine and I had just said her name and it's my ex-wife with the fucking mic yeah and I clicked on the Facebook page and it was horrific oh I mean she hasn't changed I mean she didn't gain a pound she's still a pretty good looking girl yeah it just fucking hit me like a ton of bricks I was never even married to it when I saw her it reminded me how much I didn't want to be with it when we got separated it was just the only reason why I continued talking to it was because of a fucking child you know what I'm saying yeah so it was just kind of weird so I know how that hits you I was with a chick I was with a chick for uh five years in college now I thought I was gonna marry her totally thought I was gonna marry her she ended up fucking my best friend and uh giving
Starting point is 01:54:39 me the clap and I was fucking heartbroken that's a tough one oh dude you take that one on the chin looking at it coming at you that's five years of drinking trying to figure out what the fuck you did or 20 the uh but the fucking when you were a young man that's fucking heavy I slept with two girls Joey I slept with two girls that's it worn protection totally for one of them just didn't wear protection for the one that I did for five years because I was like I'm born in love that we wouldn't cheat on each other got the clap and it was fucking brutal I told her during this time I came back from Russia I told her I said I had met the guys from the state you remember the state the state on MTV Michael Wayne Michael Ian Black I wasn't watching TV this and so I met them in in Greece
Starting point is 01:55:35 and David Wayne had said to me about being a comic and I was like I got the seed in my head and in Greece I decided I kind of want to be a comic then you know I come home I tell her in confidence I think I want to be a comedian this is before I think she told me she had fucked my best friend I was laying her bed for the Miami Florida game and I was like I think I want to be a comic she was like oh honey you're an idiot like you're not fun you're not like smart funny comedians are smart funny you're stupid funny like there you'll never be a comedian and she wanted to be an actress and I remember being like I'll never tell a fucking soul my secrets ever and then I told the Rolling Stone people I wanted to be a comic and I ended up obviously becoming a comic and I've been doing it
Starting point is 01:56:20 for I think was 18 17 years but the the interesting thing is she's trying to be be off like a Broadway actress she's been trying to be an actress since she graduated college and she has had no success like none like just off Broadway shit I look back and I think had I not dated the one girl Kristen who that was the next girl after that was just kind of oblivious to the way the world worked and just was like you can do anything you want to do she's still posts inspirational feminist conservative feminist posts had I not dated her I don't know if I would have ever had the balls to do it and I had I stuck with that chick I probably would have ended up the same failure she is and you just think about all these little fucking things and like I remember thinking I got her
Starting point is 01:57:05 pregnant at one point and thinking oh this is this is what the universe wants and then you're like oh fuck this the universe doesn't want any of this shit the universe and then and then I remember being alone in New York being like oh the universe wants me to be alone right now the universe wanted me to be be stricken of all these female opinions and form my own about life those are the best times in the world I like I look back I'm like I'm so glad for all this shit like you know not to bring it full circle but you know this tour was going to be a big deal for I think both of us and be a lot of fun a little feather in the cap and a little bit of money and a lot of fun but then when it went away I went I saw it as like the universe going like hey man you're renovating
Starting point is 01:57:51 your house you should be here with your family and experience this change at the time same time they experience it I have a certain blessing on me and it's been like that for years if it's going to happen it's going to happen yeah and if it doesn't happen something happened that didn't want you to happen the hands like that three years from now you'll look and go that's why I didn't get that look the movie fucking bombed anyway here I was sick to my stomach over the holidays because I lost the holidays yeah because you auditioned December 18th and they tell you they're going to tell you January 8th and also you got to sit through the fucking holidays thinking did you get it what did you say in the audition what did they say to you did they make
