Starting point is 00:01:27 It's such a hard song to sing. Fucking, if I'm correct, this is 81. That's what you're trying to fucking tell me. That's what they're saying. That's what you're trying to tell me. Look this song up for sure. Alright. I'm almost positive that it's 81 because I still remember hanging out with my undertaker buddy. And he loved this. It's a good song.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And he would blast it to the shore and the way back to the shore. Well, it's one of those songs that I decided to sing at when I looked up the words. And it's one of those songs that you know you like. You hear it at karaoke and you don't realize how many words are in the song. Oh, there's a ton. And it's such a hard song. It's a hard song. There were parts of it when I was singing.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I was like, I'm just going to, it's going to sound shitty because I can't. Nor do I have to. But she's, it's pretty amazing. It was in 81. It was in the movie School of Rock. I don't know if that means anything to you. No, I just remember this coming out and then the album Bella Donna. This came out in the album called Bella Donna on this. And then she put the first thing she struck with was Tom Petty and the motherfucking heartbreakers.
Starting point is 00:02:30 When she left Fleetwood Mac, she had it timed. She came out with that Tom Petty and then she blasted this and then she dropped Bella Donna. And that was the end of the fucking game. That's like showing up with two aces that are full fucking hours. Bam. Yeah. Stop dragging my heart around. Yeah. That was one of the most played videos on MTV.
Starting point is 00:02:51 That was one in the beginning. I mean, you guys are kids. I'm just letting you know that one, the whole MTV scene started. Right. That was one of the pioneer videos. People would wait to see that. I just remember the SNL video. I was at SNL and living color.
Starting point is 00:03:04 They did Stevie Nicks tacos. She was like, before she's like, I'm into black magic and witchcraft. I also love these tacos. It was crazy. And then she blew up to like, you know, she got really big and. Steven. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I just like the song. Just the one that rumors the album you showed me. 10 years ago. It's still one of my favorite. 75. Oh my God. I was in the eighth grade or something. You know, I still remember there was a girl that was a national baton.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Twirler. And she had a party at her house and we went over there and she's like, you gotta hear this. I'm like, what are you talking about? Fleetwood Mack. And my head almost blew up when she put on chains. Yeah. All that shit Stevie Nicks did with them was just brilliant. I never had an education in rock.
Starting point is 00:03:46 My parents were divorced. And if I asked my father, I told my dad, I sang the song. I never liked any of that Stevie Nicks bullshit. He's like, he doesn't like that. He's got like original Boston records, like three dog night J and the Americans. Like that's his thing. But I didn't have a to understand rock and roll. From my generation, you either have to be autodidactic or like an older brother that
Starting point is 00:04:09 taught you about it or your parents are super into it. But I'm from like the suburbs of Dallas, Texas. And I listen to kiss FM growing up. So for me, like I hear all this stuff and I know it's a part of like the fabric of American culture. And I know the songs, but like I'm not a study, you know, so I always feel left out. I just grew up listening to the radio. There was a radio station in New York City that if you wore this, you know, I was a
Starting point is 00:04:31 fucking geek Elijah when I came from Cuba. So I bought into the fucking system. So W ABC had a button. And if you wore the button and they came up to you, you won $25,000. So you had to sit there and listen to the fucking songs. And they would go, okay, we're in North Hollywood. So me and you would run the North Hollywood with buttons around like two dingbats. 25,000.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Whatever the fucking people never won nothing. They were never even fucking out. Not one time. I go, thank you for the 25,000. There's someone out there like, we got to get rid of these buttons. Yeah. No, there were little buttons. W ABC.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Yeah. And they played like pop. Right. Like I still remember listening all night to hear Benny and the Jets. Like that's what was on when I was growing up. Like Helen Jones was the fucking king of music when I was a kid. Right. And then they would go, okay, we're on 72nd Street and Broadway.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Where are you? And I would fucking run down. They weren't there. They were on a toilet. Fuck no. Fuck no. Broadcasting remotely from the bathroom. I was a sucker for all that shit.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Yeah. In 1983 fucking MTV had a contest that if you won, you could go to Pat Benatar's wedding. Yeah, my plan was to her wedding. Not invited to her wedding. Can you fucking believe this? Why are you flying there? They do the whole thing. MTV was going to fly you and a guest.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Would you ever do analyzing for your wedding? Have like fans show up? Like that seems like something that no one would want. No, that's so horrible. You're a Brock star. You don't have like a VIP section at a wedding. That's terrible. Fucking Pat Benatar was going to get married in Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And she was going to have four people come on the wedding. And then they do a private concert on the beach of Hawaii. My plan was to fucking go down there. And when they say, does anybody have any objections to go fucking crazy and go, Pat, you can't get married. I love you. And just be, you know what I'm saying? This is why you don't invite fans to anything. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Nothing. I sent Eliza, I must have sent thousands of postcards. Postcards? Postcards of what? That's what you had to fucking send them. What's on the postcard? Hi, I'm Joe Diaz. No, on the back of it.
Starting point is 00:06:38 The picture. What's it a postcard of? Nothing. Blank postcard. It's a letter. You're describing a letter. Just a little fucking postcard that you buy at stationery stores in the 80s. And it said MTV Studios, B.O. Box 64, 50, New York, New York.
Starting point is 00:06:51 And then inside you had a right. Joey Diaz, I want to go to Pat Benatar's wedding for fucking every day I mailed it from different posts. You know me. I went to different posts. Different angles. No, I kept from every place. There's probably so many Joey Diaz's out there.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I was working for a bookie in those days. So on the way home. Of course. I was working for the bookie. I'd do the fucking things. And then when I was going back on 118th, I'd mail them from different locations in the city. So if I would go to Harlem to pick up Coke, I would mail them from Harlem.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Why are you taking it from different locations? They're going to, it's the same name. I don't fucking know Eliza because I'm fucking superstitious. Do you understand me when you're super fucking superstitious? You got to work at the very fucking angle. And it didn't pay off because at the end I didn't win the fucking contest. Do you think it's because you didn't stick with the one mailbox? Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Looking back. No, it's because I'm the kiss of debt at the time. If I were to send it in today, I'd be front row at that benedictized fucking wedding. What did your friends think of that? Like, that doesn't seem like something your friends would be too supportive of. Do you think I fucking told my friends? Do you think I would even mention that to my friends? You were going to go and they'd be like, where are you going?
Starting point is 00:07:50 You'd be like, on vacation. I'm just like, yeah. I'm going to Hawaii. All expenses paid. These things happen to people. And I was going to take my friends stinky because he went everywhere with me. That's who you wanted a wedding. That's who I thought.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I wouldn't have taken them to the wedding. I said, I would have told them we're going to Hawaii and let him do whatever he'd do and then I would have gone to the wedding by myself. Yeah. Listen, when Pat Benetals got married, you could talk any woman on the island to do anything with you. When you're on an island, I could walk up to you and say, Eliza, I'm bored. You're bored.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Pat Benetals getting married. You want to come? Right. You're like, you know what, man? I'm on vacation. You know what? I'm on my honeymoon, but let's go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Who cares? I'm just going to go with him. Where would you like to go for your honeymoon when the beautiful day happened? I don't know. You know what? I think you can attest to this. I travel so much as it is. You don't want to do anything.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I don't want to do anything. I come home and I like you so much. You're like, come to the valley in the beginning of the work week and I was like, I'll go for you, but I have family in Santa Monica. I don't see. I'm like major holidays. Eliza, please explain to the people. When I emailed you, you have an email response that comes back saying, listen, I got a dog.
Starting point is 00:09:01 It does not. I work out. I write. I sing. I work out. I dance. I'm fucking busy. That's what it says.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Okay? If I don't get fucking back to you, don't be mad at me. This is my assistant's fucking address. Send him a call and I'll get back to you. Whatever. I love you. Have a good day. God bless you.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Eliza. It's the best way to do it. It's the best way to do it. To have it up all the time, you're an asshole, but I happen to be doing a lot of things right now and I'm on a very personal basis with everybody that books me on the shows. Like I'm not a dick. Like I answer stuff. A lot of comics.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Like I never go to your email. I answer everything, but I happen to be going through so many things right now. I just don't want anyone to think that I think I'm too cool and so it's like better you know that I'm busy and that your email will get answered and someone else will answer it versus just ignoring it. Have you ever worked in a professional writer like somebody who's written a television show like fucking somebody big? Like a real person.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Yes. Like a real person. No. No coffee. No coffee. You would call these fucking people? They don't answer the phone. Nobody answers the phone.
Starting point is 00:09:57 There's a block of that day that they don't answer. They'll call you right back when that block is over. But that's the writing time. And that's their writing time. For my friend it's like six hours. Some people have that if what you have is writing and that's your thing just like I'm not going to answer the phone when I'm on stage. But I think in general like in Hollywood it's a cool thing to act like you're busy.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Like a lot of male comics. Like did you get the text about the show? Oh I didn't check it. I'm like really? Well then where did the text go? Like you have a data plan. So I try to just be cognizant of other people's time and not make them feel like jerk offs if they email me or text me.
Starting point is 00:10:29 There's nothing worse than when you reach out to someone and they just don't write back for like a business thing. It makes you feel like an idiot. Right? You feel me? That's fucking horrible. It's the whole my beef is like I work for Eliza in her movie for a week. That week I could call fucking Eliza at three in the morning.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Right. And go Joey, I need you on the set at 7.15 with that blue shirt on. Because you're working together. But the shit that pisses me off is Sunday when I call you and there's no more movie and you don't answer the fucking phone. And that's what has been done to me by just writing all the movies that we talk every day and all of a sudden the movie's done I call you for something. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Three messages. Wow. So when I was doing your movie you answered the fucking phone. Right. After the movie ends I call you for a check or the paperwork and these guys wouldn't call me back for a month. Right. Well.
Starting point is 00:11:23 The shit like that. That's really fucking crazy. But I think for the traveling I mean yeah that drives me crazy and I don't you know you hope the goal is to be respected enough as I'm sure you are but in general that people will answer or people feel that you're important enough to answer back and you know you remember when people didn't answer stuff and you remember that kind of stuff and not that you should make a list but it sticks with you and all I made the decision. I made the decision a long time ago that I was not going to act like my colleagues.
Starting point is 00:11:49 I was not going to be no I'm not going to answer everything on I don't even check Facebook and every email sometimes they're inappropriate or sometimes it's I don't know you got this but I was going to make an effort to treat everybody like a person as long as you're cool to me I'll try to be cool back and that's just the decision I made them just I'm not the kind of person who just ignores people a couple years ago when things started popping like 11 years ago for me and I started going to these meetings at every fucking meeting there was one jerk off there was always 25 fucking minutes like just you know when writers want to meet with you and managers and other writer like those meetings and they choose
Starting point is 00:12:30 a restaurant or something right and then your agent has to go and your fucking manager has to tag along so everybody's sitting there with puppy dog guys and this jerk off walks in 25 minutes late hey guys so sorry so sorry there was so much rubbish in Ventura I've got a kid oh my fucking god oh my god somebody came to me like a really top comic one day I was telling him my situation he goes nah you're getting it all wrong he goes when you were a comedian man you always gotta be late is he black and I go no a white successful comic who is it and I go he goes you you have to be late that's what it means to put the work in allies I gotta tell you son I did it one time and I was like no he's wrong
Starting point is 00:13:14 no please I grew up different I grew up completely different 15 minutes early and I'm gonna get so much it for the black thing whatever we got the other person I was like it's the truth it's it really is about the way you were raised but and I've said this on my own podcast so you see successful comics right and people start to act assert everybody knows people start to act a certain way when they're successful and then what happens is comics who have not put in that time those are their buddies or those are the people that they you know that they look up to so they're like oh if I act like an asshole then it looks like I'm cool and it kind of works having like a little bit of swag but I'm like but you don't have
Starting point is 00:13:47 20 minutes to back it up to me you just seem like a dick I'd rather just do my job well absolutely and be cool just because I'm never late I was here early I watched you eat all the mushrooms I get I cannot my dad's as if you're not early you're late and I just think it's it's just respect of other people's time and it's just not a way to do business no I didn't like I was like why would I be late when I that's against my fucking principle no I'll be late like that's against everything I fucking believe you know what if you have a meeting at one leave at 1215 if it takes 15 minutes yeah it's like oh so you don't know how to get a download a ways app and it's so funny because especially in Hollywood
Starting point is 00:14:23 it's cool to be late it's cool to come in late not show up before I was late and what shocks me I always think like but wait a minute but at one point in your life you were on time you were on time to the audition that got you the show that turns you into an asshole you were on time for your costume fitting you were on you've been on time for things before so it isn't as if the concept of time just eludes you you know to be on time you're just choosing not to have you guys don't matter have you guys ever had someone cancel a meeting or something when you're there on time and then they're late and then they cancel it when they're late and they're not even there I had not had that happen oh I had I was doing
Starting point is 00:14:59 a podcast or somebody and we got down there we were at his house not the guy's house but the guest house and like 15 minutes after he was already texting around the corner around the corner he's like oh I can't do it today oh that sounds like a bad date oh it was I've never had a date do that I've never that was I've never had that either I try not to have meetings unless they're absolutely necessary also something I've learned recently the more the busier you are and the more valuable your time is no I don't have time to grab a fucking coffee and catch up I had somebody the other day the look when we go are you busy Friday I'm like that is prime real estate for fuckery I don't have that's my like I'm gonna do my
Starting point is 00:15:39 set and then go out with someone I love or care about not you not for dinner with a general meeting you out of your mind to ask for a Friday or Saturday night are we married no no coffee even in the next actually no time to have a meeting coffee in the middle of the day it's like so I have to stop everything I'm doing to go force a coffee to hear your like cartoon idea I'm just saying I don't have a schedule lies neither do you know neither does Lee there's two types of people there's people that have a schedule there's people that don't have a schedule if I wanted a fucking schedule I would get a fucking day job yeah so I don't have a schedule my schedule 724 and I don't know when the fuck I'm working yeah and I I don't know if I could do a fucking

Starting point is 00:17:04 then they won't come out for like two months right December 8th like can I just scan the yeah yeah yeah no I don't play the game either I tell them it's by the day well I always that's always my point of contention with anything is it's sort of the same idea that like I was like I'm batting a thousand I'm the one working hard so when someone else like it's always like you've got to do this you've got to do this so I rush and I make four shows or I make that flight or I get together this set and then they're like okay we're just gonna mull it over I'm like oh I'm really glad I snapped my back in half so you guys can just chill out and take a dump feels great I'll just go fuck myself did you start in Dallas I didn't I started here what what is it so you
Starting point is 00:17:42 moved here and started fresh I started all by myself fresh here I went to school in Boston and I started here what college did you go into Emerson me too yeah oh yeah yeah that's why you that's why you're in production last but yeah I was bumping into each other no it's five years younger than me wow and then it was funny I don't I actually turned down a job it was right as I was getting into the industry I almost worked on your show what show the dating show excuse yeah oh really that show was crazy like I worked in post forever and well not in three years but your show was crazy because they shot like every day for like three months it's like a hundred episodes we shot 230 episodes one a day we shot for two seasons it was a gauntlet like I am equipped
Starting point is 00:18:27 for any hosting job because I shot that many episodes like there's no one that has more air hours on tv hosting unless you've been on like a show for like five years 230 and two years and like one year something so one show a day found any days we shoot for a couple months each summer we did it for two years we had two seasons 230 episodes total one a day so 115 episodes at one shop one hour never called in sick no day all you get your weekends off but all day every day from about June to October and how long did you have to be there all day nine this nine all day I get there eight or nine let's call that you do your hair you make up you come down I filmed the first act and the people that go on their dates I go to lunch I come back we'd shoot the middle part
Starting point is 00:19:14 where someone got eliminated or excused excuse me branding and then I a little bit later that afternoon or night or early evening is when the elimination part and I would like literally bolt offset and jump in my car to make it to the comedy store by 945 or not depending on when it was and they never gave me an inch of wiggle room I'd be like I am running from a tv show that I'm on and they'd be like well if you're gonna miss your spot and I'm just like can someone give me a fucking break and I would bolt out of there every night to try to make it wherever the spots were but uh yeah that was the that was a shake I can't like that it's uh it's funny working on that on the other side of tv especially when you have because you've done a couple specials and then
Starting point is 00:19:54 with what Joey was talking about like they're really anxious for the for these pictures but these pictures they're just anxious because it's on a to-do list right and there's no there's no real angle like it used to kill me when the network or the the head of the production company would come in because stuff would be cleaned moved around then put the best people up front it was crazy it's uh it's a it's a crazy experience to go through just seeing how like who they really care about yeah well I hate the whole hurry up and how I've been waiting I've been here for too long and I know how it works so I I know the things that you used to tangle where's the logic in this well there is none but I don't think most people that make art are logical people and those
Starting point is 00:20:36 who can't create good art go into production and that's why it's so scattered I mean there's so many things going on but any set you go on you have one line like we're gonna need you all day you're like okay but do you okay already did the line I need to stay um about one line on Spiderman to 14 fucking days oh my god oh from every six to midnight it's almost not even worth it let me tell you what I would do at six o'clock I would just fucking hide yeah that's doesn't seem very productive and I would see the production assistants like oh what's going on they're like they haven't said none I go they don't say none don't say none I would just be prepared I bring TVs oh you got to be prepared computers and see DVDs sit in your trailer at a long distance
Starting point is 00:21:19 phone though they put me in the back of Sony in the apartments I feel like you told me they got apartments back there yeah they're the tremendous couches that pull out like they were there like from world war two I don't know but we did them yeah the showers I mean guys it was bigger than this nice yeah bigger than this door couch opens well here's the thing good you're saying you're saying I'm hiding they don't want you the less people on set the better well what they would ramey would always go listen Joe you're too big for the fucking train I can't have you in this fucking train right so do me a favor just go to trail and wait for I call you and I would drink uh what's that fucking juice that was like 22 bottles tomahawk granite they had I mean it was the best
Starting point is 00:21:58 super yeah it was the best it was the best food movie I've ever been on right I mean they had tables upon tables upon tables of just breakfast yeah locks bagels oatmeal's you know french toast all those juices all the coffees star I mean they just had everything lunches they paid you 25 bucks to go get your own lunch but they brought in lunch right Fridays with steak and lobster tails so this was my option that I could sit in my fucking apartment in hollywood and come up with creepy ideas or I could sit down there and make scale plus lobster yeah you know well yeah you go you do the work you show up yeah I showed but it's still like okay I showed up on time I go up to the director the director's and go what do you think today's the day not today Joey we'll call you
Starting point is 00:22:51 when we need you then they would call me just to introduce me what was the line can I hear the line surely if you want to get to him you got to go through me that's it that's it that's what someone wrote that's that's what someone stole from someone else like $40,000 for that fucking line and that was that's great with no residuals that's great can you believe that you don't deserve residuals I fired the manager that told me don't do that movie that's for one day scale I wouldn't do it wait Harvey firestein was your manager no no it was some chick that thought she was badass I have a I have a similar this is there was no scale involved the I went to creative arts camp when I was 14 and they you know at a creative

Starting point is 00:27:19 would shit my pants walking down the stairs I'm walking out of there we go why do I do the podcast yeah no I don't know then we found this place and this is cool there was a girl downstairs that had a real popular podcast that's how I found this place and I came and asked me if I could have it when she went to rotten tomatoes now she's a fucking CNN but she started downstairs right in this office right down it's important to have a space yeah you can do it at your house but it's good especially for comics to have a place to go to so this is good it's lovely inside what's up Lee how you feeling I'm feeling fine so far with another mushroom sure why not sure what the fuck yeah faces as red as your t-shirt oh yeah you both look like you're about to cry no not yet no I'm good I could take

Starting point is 00:28:49 November like fourth and this is promoting the Netflix special Netflix the tour starts with that we had to talk about t-shirts and stuff today um but yeah and then that's it how many theaters are you doing on this tour there's 14 and what size are the theaters a couple thousand good for you 141400 1400 perfect 2000 probably definitely not over 2000 and then hopefully we'll do a second leg in like Europe really you want to go over and give this shot yeah I did London once and that was great so you know all like the English speaking places and maybe even like Sweden because I think they're really into comedy they're really into comedy that's Pablo Francisco is joined oh my god I think he's so funny that's Pablo's joined up there he goes every year I know
Starting point is 00:29:31 he was going there maybe eight years ago for a hundred grand for one show or something so by now he probably goes there twice a year for a million he's fine I remember doing the South African comedy festival and Pablo Francisco was on it was me and Trevor Noah before he was anybody and he was lighting it up on stage there and some of the jokes were in africans and some of it was an and some of the stuff I didn't know what he was talking about because it was like a lot of like local stuff but he was on it that time at him and I saw Pablo at breakfast and I was like can I sit with you like and he was super cool about it and I just remember he's one of the comics that I sort that I look up to is weird because I don't really know him but that I definitely take a
Starting point is 00:30:09 page from his book and he's not the most famous but he's so fucking good and you say isn't people like who is that I'm like oh because you only know like the three comics that are on Netflix it's Pablo Francisco for days when I moved to this town he was when I moved to this town he was on fucking fire on fire in flago in 97 I first went to the lab factory latino night I had like a five minute spot and they said Pablo Francisco's on watch this this was like maybe the height of Seinfeld yeah and he did each one of them in fucking spanish oh okay standing ovations yeah people puking because it was just pure brilliance it was just pure brilliance it was just the fucking Jerry Seinfeld in spanish and from there it just didn't stop he's one of the
Starting point is 00:30:57 calm he's one of the first comics where someone comes over and I'm lucky because people tell me they do this with my comedy now and it's so it's so gratifying but people come over I'd be like watch this clip come watch this YouTube clip and he had the bit about pigeons uh how like you could say anything to a stripper and she'll agree with you look oh look pigeons she's like fuck yeah little pigeons oh look apples fuck yeah green apples he's like it's gonna happen she likes apples anyways verbatim that's the clip you can uh YouTube it but he was great what year was that were those specials because that's how when I first saw him like his comedy central special you know I don't remember let me look at home yeah check it out because that like that was
Starting point is 00:31:36 is he a store comic yeah he's gotta yeah but I don't remember you know he just contacted me that didn't know it was him he left me a message to be on the podcast oh my god I saw him at the ice house and we had a great talk it was great to see him he's one of the best guys in comedy easily comedy wise and as generous as can be when when I was when I first got to this town he would hire me in different cities and he would pay me above and beyond like I would go are you crazy yeah you know he's he's been a great guy John Panette was like that with me I know he's gone one of my first gigs to feature they flew me to Las Vegas I didn't know who he was and he asked me are you a Vegas comic I said no I'm from LA he's like how much did it cost you to get here
Starting point is 00:32:22 and I told him you know probably with room and everything and they paid me $500 and I spent most of it to get there and then he was like come to my office on Monday and I'll write you a check and I went to his office and his his manager layers you've here wrote me a check for $500 so I had the money I'll never forget that he did that and it was a real when you start in comedy you learn how to treat other comics by how kind comics are to you and I don't know that the comics ever gave me a real break but once in a while when someone is kind like that it sticks with you and like Pablo was cool when I met him he won't remember me you know but like the comics who aren't dicks then you're like oh that's the way to treat people one time I was in Houston
Starting point is 00:33:02 and Pablo called me at like 11 in the morning on a Saturday he goes what are you doing do you want to go no more I go now I gotta meet these people for once he goes all right that night I stormy gave me a bag he bought me three shirts at the mall no on a Saturday like and I'm talking about fucking shirts like I was like pommel are you serious he got me like a Laker for lower things I really couldn't wear do you know what I'm saying it was like too much it was like purple with the dark black right if you put it on you lost 15 pounds because you could there was no oxygen going in there like there's no right can good and breathe there was no you can breathe right and he gave me his two other dress shirts they had to be like 200 dollars a piece man
Starting point is 00:33:43 as he tipped me that Saturday you know I mean it was just uh he's just a great kid all around yeah it's really this comic that I worked with this weekend the guy that featured to me this week where were you I was in Columbus and he's a writer and 20 whatever years ago I used to open for him how weird he had just won San Francisco this guy's a dangerous motherfucker on stage dangerous his name is Rick Kearns he had radio in Denver he'll be at the show he'll be at the shows he'll have one of the nights okay and when you see him the first couple minutes he won't be on my shows but it would know you're bringing your own people and it was so weird that's why Denver's scary because they throw those headlines at you from Denver oh I don't care no no no but they
Starting point is 00:34:30 usually do like a lot of people go to Den I don't I don't you know what I will say I don't bring nobody then I fucking I never did because I always believed in cultivating local comics and give people chances that being said Denver and I love comedy works it's the only city where because they give you different comics every now they've never been cool never rude but they come in they do their thing they don't make eye contact they leave I'm like do you realize how much it would be who of you to just say hi to me all my features that I bring that I bring on my tour and that I work with are people who featured for me I like them as people and I was like come work for me and they it was never rude I definitely had it was never it was just kind of like almost like
Starting point is 00:35:10 they're making a point of not giving me the respect of talking to me like I was coming to work I don't talk to her and it's just like okay it's your funeral you don't have to do I won't help you that's totally fine with me so this year I'm playing a different part of the club and I was like I'm bringing my own people done I had somebody will I have friends that will fly in and spend money to get to do it and I'm not going to use a local guy who's not going to look me in the eye and say hi so I try to cultivate also I also uh you know there's a lot of comics that you taking a comic on a road maybe something small to you but something I remember how big it was for me when somebody called me at the comic store so you're available Tuesday what if I gave you seven fifty seven
Starting point is 00:35:52 fucking six yeah I need to go do my act in Wisconsin and test it out there 100 oh my god so many comics made my week you know I'm in one night I seen Lewis he came when I was hosting I used to host on Sunday and he came and he got on and I'm like yeah I got him on and when he got off he goes hey man what are you doing this week I go yeah nothing I'm around he goes I wrote something I'll know tomorrow give me a number listen you know I went back on stage I didn't go home and go honey I got rent money right you fucking called and he put me on the fucking show yeah I forgot him because of that Louis it's a small it's really weird but it's also like you got him on the show like you were cool all you to do is be a little cool and he was cool back if you were like no man
Starting point is 00:36:38 can't get you on or hey man you gotta wait you know like you gave him a green light people don't realize like for headliners like you being cool to us is just as important as us being cool to you you have to make people want to do you favors you have to you know nobody wants to help somebody who walks into a green room that's a dick you know last two years ago a kid hit me up he goes can I do a guest spot I gotta be honest I really don't know you I always say and if and if I'd say yes then every show I do I do they're gonna be there like if you let it's really I was it's really weird the lines the word gets out oh you mean other people come so like you ever I used to do a room in Bray and I was very generous to the room you know I went home with 50 bucks I broke it into
Starting point is 00:37:26 a three-minute show I hosted I brought a headline and a feature you know how many times I showed up down there and there'd be six guys I didn't know you did comedy here really what the fuck do you think we do here right and then they would start we didn't get eight minutes then the eight minutes turned into 12 and 15 you know they're fucking savages so it got to the point where you know when I'm going into a town and Tuesday I get home and I got eight Facebooks six of those hi my name is Peter whatever yeah yeah how can I I can't I don't know just not check it well how can I how can what if you go on stage and this kid goes I'm fucking this is my impersonation a hitler I don't fucking know right I'm trying to be kind and that's what happens when you be kind okay here's
Starting point is 00:38:11 the other side of it first of all I don't check the Facebook messages because but sometimes you know somewhat if you for the moment I hate that says if you ask me for something I will usually give it to you stage time wise and I will have friends that'll be like hey I'm happy to be in Phoenix that weekend I'll be like you can have a guest spot I give those out like candy because it costs me nothing it means so much to you and that's like a motto that I live by I always figure chances are you're not going to be a maniac on stage if you're great then it pumps up the energy for the show and if you suck I look amazing and it's only a couple minutes out of my life so I give people the chance to do that it's never come back to bite I hate what comes with it there's
Starting point is 00:38:51 a thousand situations okay you see me at the store three nights a fucking week well I see you I go hey and I walk the other way never giving you a hug I never give you the respect you deserve not all of a sudden you're at a stand-up live yeah and guess who wants to buy me a drink and skimmy a hug joey Diaz and he wants to guess it fuck you okay but oh there's a thousand of those here's the other side there's another side okay well but the other side for let me say this for you because you've been doing this longer than me right yeah I guess how long have you been doing 25 okay so a lot longer than me I think that and you're getting you've hit this stride now but there are so many years put in where there was people there were people ignoring you like that
Starting point is 00:39:35 and you don't seem you're not a mean guy at all but I think you've had more time to go through that to have that and now you're like yeah fuck you you've looked at me forever so you're allowed to feel that way I wouldn't begrudge you that I also will say this before I met you I'll never forget the day that you said hi to me you were so nice you're like hey and you treated me like we'd known each other forever and I just played along because A I was like have I met him before and B I you're scary looking and so I always no I don't know and you're like tough and and so I never said anything because I always figured you were in a different group of comics and we didn't know and not in like a shitty way so and I get people like I think I'm a pretty nice person I get people that won't
Starting point is 00:40:17 talk to me because they're like I'm afraid of you and it's just it comes with an air you know and it's people's perception and they're wrong and you're the nicest guy I know I was like the comments you came up and said hi let me tell you fucking something but my point is um you're of course you can feel the way no the amount of people that have been like I'm afraid like I would feel something like you never talked to me or said hi the amount of people that are afraid versus not respectful you know when somebody's afraid you know when somebody's not respectful you know you know you said things to me that you like that but you know when somebody's not giving you the props allies are deserves you're for sure okay so but I do get people to better for the doubt
Starting point is 00:40:57 sometimes you know what if I would have saw you at the improv and I'm gonna never saw you at last comic standing I wouldn't have said hello to you right first off before I met you I had this woman respect for you now when I see a girl like you that is petite you're not thank you and not violent you're not drunk right you're not obnoxious and I see you at the store I feel for you I feel for you and I want you to know that I got your back okay I got your back just in case if anything goes down I'm not here to hit on you I'm too fucking old I'm not here to give you drugs you have offered me drugs already I'm not here to give them to you I often see it's just so weird when I'm at the store I know what girls are faking the funk what does that mean there's girls that go down there fake
Starting point is 00:41:47 the funk what is fake the funk they show up for two years they see what they can work and they disappear and then I know a girl that you like you had this four set tonight I'm gonna go to the improv to do a set there you are and I go to commie stone you're like dog shit you're everywhere thank you I found out you were at the IO or you were at this guy's bar or you do the seven o'clock show at the commie store you work at this it's not like you're dating guys and right dating or I did manage you know right you're one of these motherfuckers that I see out there banging it and you're running against around men my mom was a bookie and she ran my mom was a bookie and she ran around men and when you see that gift not a lot of women could do that yeah thank you takes
Starting point is 00:42:26 a certain woman with a certain type of uh self something to walk into a room with men and not get fucking attacked like eight guys like me in a room going 604 82 fucking dollars hey what happened with that guy he never paid you that money so hey you come in with you looking good you know I'm saying like I respect you so that's why the first time I saw you I just want to let you know that oh you were so nice he's fucking jerk off I got you I I remember you said hi and I walked to when I was like oh Joey Diaz knows who I am no I watched it I watched you I talked to Dan about you I knew you were tight with Joe and I had I had left the store and I had just heard about you as I was leaving you were taken over so I always talked to Ari yeah and uh I just you know I told
Starting point is 00:43:15 you that before I leave the fucking house not tonight but because nobody's gonna be on tonight probably some political you check all the stores all the shows I check Jimmy Fallon I checked the other fucking guy with the people in the car I checked the fucking whatever and I see what stand-ups are gonna be on there's some stand-ups that I don't even know and I watch just because I don't know my young the one guy that killed me one night was Kumonji Mananji Kumail Nanjiani that shit about Coney Island five years ago fucking I almost puked that night and then you know there's a few people I'm not gonna say how many times I've sat up to watch a show time special and throwing the fucking remote at the TV you fucking bum you really had the balls to open with that
Starting point is 00:44:00 joke I heard that joke eight ten years ago you're gonna you know so I'm cheering for the comment and then when I see him I want to go up to him and go now you know what now you know why you're not getting spot because how you know but I can't so I always go if I had the opportunity to do that so I'm watching the fucking tonight show and it's Eliza slashing I get home I got the cat on top of me you know I just smoked the joint I probably had some peanut butter and jelly and all of a sudden I fast forward because I taped it and you came out and just it's like you had no fear you just were laying into them laying into your point and Adam even Jimmy Fallon was like what the fuck's going on it was just and then he came out and it was just a big to do at the end
Starting point is 00:44:42 and I got right on fucking Twitter and I go Eliza you fucked them god damn it my wife's like why is the fucking light on in the office I'm trying to sleep I go I gotta take I gotta hit it because she did really well and I hadn't seen you since then to pull you over you're always on the move you're always on the fucking move so I I don't want to grab you by the Armageddon man I saw you on Jimmy Fallon you fucked them up but then you said something to me you know we live in this comedy world now that women aren't getting enough spots there's jerk off to say women aren't fucking funny every time I hear a jerk off say women aren't funny I want to send them a clip of Lucia Ball just to get the party started like this how wrong you are okay this
Starting point is 00:45:26 lady lives on TV every fucking day for the last 80 years yeah and you're gonna come up with some it's antiquated and some fuck thank you antiquated thank you antiquated and that's the word I was looking for I feel you know not to make it about girls because like you said like I've been competing against men since I made my professional debut or whatever in comedy I did last comic standing that was all guys comedy store is mostly guys so of course if I auditioned for something it's me versus another girl but when I go on tour and I look at if I'm playing clubs it's all it's men on those rosters and there's no this isn't saying bad things about other girls and I hope they have great careers but for me it's always been me pitted against men and then people for sensationalism
Starting point is 00:46:11 like what about the other girls and I've just never looked at that as the competition because it's me versus another guy to see who gets a 945 spot at the comedy store you know and and the whole women are the funny women have been doing so many funny things for the especially in the last couple years and comedy has been really hot people don't say women aren't funny anymore and if they do I'm like oh there's something wrong with you oh you're stupid versus when I first started my career I had to be like well you know girls are funny I tried to so now I just don't even answer it right just uh it's just all these things that these formulas people had for a long time I'll never forget they were shooting Showtime Showtime about 10 years ago
Starting point is 00:46:53 maybe 12 years ago gave away eight half hours and they had showcases at the store and I'll never forget that I'm out there one night I didn't showcase they were showcasing a bunch of like up-and-coming comics and shit and I was there one night and Messina was there Rick Messina good guy great guy you know I talked to him all the time out there and some girl was talking to him and she's like you know I'm having a hard time he's like how old are you she's like 30 he goes you should just move back to where you came from and he goes everybody you know a woman's hot from 22 to 21 to 27 and guys after now here I am long in the fucking tooth I didn't get hit I was 32 I didn't get on stage so I was 30 or something and he's like
Starting point is 00:47:43 and guys are dead after 25 was he talking and I'm listening to this and I get in my car and I go home and that night I'm sitting there and the next week I saw him up there I go can I talk to you for a second because he's a cool guy he's a really cool guy yeah and I go hey man yeah then I heard you talk to this girl and you were telling me this and this and this and I go the reason you got that baseball field in your back fucking yard is because of the two old guys in comedy tool time to me I was not fucking 28 when he made it all right and the other guy with the glasses the chubby guy the host of Harry true carry he was another guy I was 40 when he fucking made it I go you made millions of these guys how can you tell right he goes you know it's crazy I thought
Starting point is 00:48:33 about it when I went home that night what a mistake I made too good he goes I didn't know what I was thinking you made millions of dollars off two fucking old guys especially comedy you can be older in comedy it's actually one of the few things where when you're older people value your opinion more comedy doesn't discriminate you're the funnier you're not whether you get into it later or you know regardless I'm so fucking embarrassed right now why like I just I feel like just being too old and being on stage but yeah they were watching a Rodney clip and I'm like he was fucking old I watched most of that special this weekend but you have the gravitas when you get up there and you say something you know you mispronounce kumail's name or something or you say you know
Starting point is 00:49:16 because of who you are and where you're from and the generation you have it's okay there are things that I was talking to Joe about this when we laugh because I was laughing we were in the car in Arizona and we were hungry and there was only thing that was open as poppados and you were going on you're like you trust your uncle Joey I'm like I don't really know you trust your uncle Joey go to poppados and then you made a joke and you were like you're like you when you get the gumbo and the sauce with the fingernails and the Katrina oil and I was dying laughing if I on stage the other night made it said one Katrina reference and they went ice cold but you say it and it's okay and granted it's about intentions I'm like that but it's also about
Starting point is 00:49:53 like a life lived there are things you can say that I can't and so you shouldn't be embarrassed I turn them on so I don't have to give you a pep talk I didn't get to try it is it still about poppados and not the moral of my story yeah like oh I got a pulled boy but I was I was too tired that's not stoned here by the way yeah which is why we're talking about poppados now but then like I think why it comes across like why people are okay with it is because it's what you say in real life like he had that entire speech for the server at poppados yeah it's like he tells everybody he loves you but it's also and you know people need are so fucking PC you're an equal opportunity offender there's no hate in your heart you're just saying and it's just like this east coast

Starting point is 01:07:42 have taken her with you that's what the asset the the most important thing about acid i don't this is where acid is different from like uh you know ecstasy and all that i haven't done that yeah no no no and i'm not saying if you do ecstasy when we do acid in the office when we eat a mushroom it's fun for two hours but the reason why we don't really have fun is because we don't go on and have contact like i'm scared to i had a question about that what i was going to go out but then i got a little paranoid because of my eyes because your eyes really do get super dilated doesn't matter people don't look at that people don't notice no you're not gonna make eye contact what do you think people out there hypnotizing yet tonight but i'm making my contact uh i wanted
Starting point is 01:08:30 you to go to um uh a diner i wanted you to go to a star box at 10 o'clock and just sit there for 10 minutes and look and listen and you go i'm never going on this farm again man those fucking people even they do something you see it for what it is well that was my question and i think you told you gave me the answer today you you asked me if i smoked anything and i didn't i took a bunch of stars it took like almost a thousand milligrams it's time for a star okay um but like it didn't get as deep as that i have in the past like there was some color stuff like the ceiling i really like my ceiling's kind of textured i don't really know what that's called and it kind of swims that's really fun to look at but it didn't really get to that next level and i think you're right i think
Starting point is 01:09:19 i should have smoked yeah because the smoke it when you smoke every hour it rekindles the acid then you start going to yourself i'm not high no more that shit joey gave me sucks and also you look at the wall and you get caught looking at something you're like fuck that i'm high and why you smoking it makes the transition down a lot easier i'm happy you did it i'm happy you did it i really like it i can understand what people like or doesn't when i went home that night it's really funny when i went home that night i fell asleep but i was still tripping it reminded me of the night my mother died i fell asleep but i was still tripping and what was really weird was that i kept thinking about my options
Starting point is 01:10:11 that night so we did it wednesday right i was leaving thursday morning okay the alarm was only go off at four a.m no the alarm went off at three thirty a.m okay we got home at what time remember we did the podcast at three i think you went home by like six well you right you went to dinner i think no i went and picked up mercy okay yeah i went and picked up mercy and we went home and we i was sitting there and by seven o'clock i couldn't take it i wasn't high no more but between the the fucking animals we took and the weed i was wiped out you know i had gone for the blood test that morning did i go for the blood test that morning i think so and i'm like should i get on the plane if i got kidney damage should i get on the plane at this vertigo should i get on the plane to columbus
Starting point is 01:11:11 ohio all this shit's going on and i laid down that night at fucking seven thirty i go let me go in the room put the fan on and just take a nap and next thing you know it's three thirty it's three in the morning and i'm waking up before the alarm and i wake my wife up i went out first and put the coffee on and in that time period i thought about because it was a connecting flight first one was a four a.m but it was a great flight it was a great flight it was a six a.m i didn't have to leave at five anymore right it was six a.m and it got me an hour later and i got it early so i went to lay down with all this shit in my mind about should i leave what's fucking up my back uh there was like three or four questions i went to bed with and when i woke up at three thirty they were all
Starting point is 01:12:05 answered see that's my favorite part about acid was the day and but that was my problem with at least this time eat a wednesday wednesday i did it's kind of it's almost kind of scary like it's almost like i'm a little speeded up and at least speed i guess but it's like i was joking that my neighbors must think i'm crazy like once a month because i just walk around my apartment all night i just like i walk and i talk to myself that's whenever you call i'm walking around my apartment that's just how i think so i don't know that's just how i think so that's what i do on acid but it's like kind of manic it's like you kind of zoom you do a little bit of the dishes and then you run around there but that didn't happen this weekend so that was a little bit of a bummer
Starting point is 01:12:49 but it was a different experience it was i didn't get as anxious as i normally do which is crazy to me that you don't get anxious on this when you do these sort of drugs no i used to get anxious off the stars or off an edible when i first did a higher dose every time i took a higher dose i would dose myself knowing that this was it like you put yourself through your own training yeah like one of these doses when i when that time i took the 500 in san jose that was the biggest dose i'd ever taken and i only really took if you think about it i only ate 400 that wow because i didn't eat all day it hit me immediately and the travel time was a little faster than you expect that's when i get anxiety every time i make a lot of jump
Starting point is 01:13:42 like when we ate the 1200 that night right there was a minute during the fucking podcast or during the periscope where like i got to catch myself that means it's hit me that means that i have to stop and think if i'm gonna have a heart attack or i'm like get up and jump off that fucking balcony like for a minute there i got to like catch myself like what am i doing with my life and i was in i like to bomb a deer and i come back so it happens to you after you've already done it yeah see to me and this is the same with my life all of my anxiety is before something once i make a decision i'm fine with it but me making a decision is it's like pulling teeth it's i hate it and i'm trying to work on it but it's still it's it's hard that's where i have all
Starting point is 01:14:33 my anxiety let's get the no fuck oh thank you i appreciate it i did kettlebells today that was fun i ripped my fucking hand i've never torn a callus before look at you getting calluses in there they're 28 years old you finally got a callus i've had calluses for a few months yeah yeah you're seeing them i can see yeah i'm the computer you know i had a callus when i was 20 from fingerbanging fucking i had a callus on my finger you know what i'm saying you're gonna sit there and tell me how to call us since you've been doing those kettlebells yeah you never heard from Dave no not recently that's it he went his own way that's it they don't want to do it no more oh we're doing more no i took him out to give him to the fucking blanch
Starting point is 01:15:23 yeah it took him more no columbus was great i seen some great people columbus fired i want to give a shout out to sam baker he showed up a couple great fucking people showed up i'm not remembering everybody i just want to let people know i had a really fucking good time this week as you know i go to fucking chicago it's already sold out i mean thursday night tickets were available i'm a little nervous i'm a little anxious one thing i do know is i did the work uh you're confident in the material well i had a after last week at oddball i felt that my because now i didn't go out in front of people listen to the podcast i went out into a general audience right yeah and my material wasn't totally offensive but it was uh out of the the realm
Starting point is 01:16:20 but it's the oddball festival so they knew i was coming at them they knew somebody was coming at them i didn't get the love that sagura got an alley wong and those people and they expected but one thing i learned was that i had added more humanity to my set so to balance out the craziness yeah so when i went to uh columbus i had five really different sets they were all basically the same but i didn't do a lot of jokes a lot of nights you know it's kind of weird and i just spoke about different things that i just wanted people to know you know this is my first special it's introducing myself to the united states people are gonna watch this on ciso i don't want to go out there and do the same dirty shit i've been doing for
Starting point is 01:17:06 20 years i want them to look at and go okay this is all right but at the same time i want to tell them a little bit of a story and do material a little bit of story and do material and the stories and the stories about me you know should i tell them that i you know i got like i tell them right last week and in columbus there was two shows where i talked about kidnapping or something i got locked up and i told them the story about trump you know just to break it up just to see if there's an angle in there i spoke about bidets that bidets are really making a comeback and that people you know they got the cold water ones and the hot water ones you know what i'm saying cold water ones is tremendous the hot water ones put you on another fucking planet did you install
Starting point is 01:17:50 your bidet oh yeah what do you think uh the cold water it does it does wake you up a little bit but it's i love it how fast is it going your muffler it goes pretty fast there's a little knob on the side to do levels but it's great what level did you put it up you know what i don't know i just i just kind of do it to the side i don't i didn't look at numbers you yeah i installed it with paul this week and it was great took like 30 minutes okay it comes with a little adapter and you know that little tube behind and only took 30 minutes because i'm i'm terrible at this stuff but it's just a little adapter i'm gonna install it in my outdoor bathroom there oh yeah you should it's and i'm excited to try the warm water one but the cool and but here's the reason why i love it
Starting point is 01:18:29 because i i'm a big guy i sweat sometimes i don't sometimes i'll have the time to take the afternoon shower but there's nothing like you there's nothing like feeling like you have to take a shower because of that and this just eradicates it it's amazing i hate running that so once i know i have it like i feel like my ass is burning or something i'm like that means i got rotten ass coming i can't go out that night so i just take a complete shower but with the bidet yeah you could take a dump and then wash your muffler in the back of your nutsack oh because that's what a fun guy nailed the box you do the back of your nuts why not you're there okay she's shook to a party once there's somebody suck your nuts what do you got you don't have a clean ass i haven't tried that yet

Starting point is 01:19:52 with a bar of soap right you're gonna let water hit it and fucking just hit the muffler in there what the ass doesn't smell like shit and water that's true i didn't think about the soap come on dawg but then but then you're sticking like soap up your butthole tremendous tremendous somebody stick their nose in your butthole it smells like dawn you know i'm saying you get some of that liquid detergent so this is like a three step process is what you're so i'm talking about if you're gonna go for broke go for broke right how you're just gonna wash your butt with hot or cold water you gotta have some type uh when you take a shower you have soap right absolutely and you put it in your muffler right all the time okay then then what what are we talking about but i have a loofah in the

Starting point is 01:27:28 when i shot that thing that's on showtime the payaso comedy slam if you knew anything about my life at that time i just took the money and ran i didn't think that thing was gonna happen when that thing had you know how bad i felt because i did a fucking 40 percent job on that not to mention i looked like a fucking bum i just did the set to get the cash to get the fuck out of the new coke you know everything i've done early on was because of the cash that's why i didn't work out this is the first time i'm doing this because i think i owe it to myself you know i owe it to myself you know and i worked hard the last four years at the stand-up shit not to mention the 21 before that when i lived in a car and fucking
Starting point is 01:28:10 took cell phones back and fucking uh you know i took a big chance in 1995 this makes it all even now i don't want to kill nobody no more i'm fine i got a daughter i got a beautiful wife i got a great friend and you i got great people around me here and uh i'm about to do something that was a fucking long shot in anybody's life never mind you know what i had going on it was just complete fucking long shot leah so you know what leah i'm not even fucking nervous i'm gonna deal with myself i'm gonna go up there and do some material i'm gonna tell some fucking stories i'm gonna tell some things that are going on in my life and wrap it all up and get the fuck out of there and that's it that's all i can do everything else i can't fucking control i'm
Starting point is 01:29:03 lucky that we have the podcast what the fuck is going on tonight i got like airport nine coming over my friend it's everyone coming in for the special they're all coming in before no but it's it's uh i got i get the question a lot of these to get the question why doesn't joey have a special why doesn't joey have a special and i can't i must imagine you got the question or at least new people were asking it and that i mean even though it must feel good that people want you to have a special it must hurt your feelings a little bit that you didn't have one really not alone not alone listen man i was i'm very fucking lucky to be here i always kept that in mind especially after the longest yard i realized what had happened
Starting point is 01:29:55 we know Cheryl crow has an album i think the second album Cheryl crow has is a really great album and uh there's a song on that i don't know what the song is and she says most people quit before the miracle happens when i was shooting the longest yard i kept hearing that lyric over and over in my head because there was so many times before that i was in a quit and i kept thinking about when for the first time jesus fucking christ let me close this let me close the only reason during the longest yard i kept hearing that lyric right you know and the main thing that i kept thinking about was 1987 when i had a semi fucking lively and i wanted to quit to move back to new jersey so i could snort coke with my fucking friends
Starting point is 01:30:58 i think from 99 to about 2000 or 2002 especially after josh got his deal and stuff i got really sad inside for a while i was like what the fuck is going on with me i can't get arrested out here but it's like when you're making strides and you don't even know you're making i was making strides and i didn't even know i was making them because i was booking something i was really alive when you book something here and people see you it makes them look at you differently now now you're not a jerk off no more you know what give him a spot dog he was in that tv show yeah but it was a small row it don't matter when was the last time you did something all right all right you know i wouldn't say nothing but people treat you
Starting point is 01:31:51 differently you start earning a fake respect only shitty people would respect you over a fucking one line in the tv show but it was interesting to see that i was always making little moves between you and me it wasn't the moves i wanted to make at that time i didn't want to be on tv i didn't want to be in movies you just wanted to stand up yeah but that's all that was available to me nobody would talk to me and stand up at all at all the best i ever got was if you come to montreal in 1999 we'll put you up maybe for the dirty show and i was went all the way to detroit and i said to myself what the fuck is wrong with me what am i a fucking half a fucking give me that one right there i go what am i a fucking i'm gonna go begging for a fucking spot my mother raised
Starting point is 01:32:51 me better so i stayed in the hotel room in detroit i went down to coco's comedy club i got an eight ball of coke and i stayed in that room for three fucking days the last night Mimi Gonzalez showed up and slept on the floor lesbian a Cuban lesbian chick and we talked all night and then we ate breakfast and she went moved to new york city how crazy is that i still remember that type of shit why didn't you just go back to LA who you because for some reason at the time i thought i wanted to go to montreal comedy festival and it wasn't till i got to fucking detroit i go i'm not going to canada i was gonna meet somebody we're gonna drive across to canada i was gonna take a bus to the montreal comedy festival oh so was your flight in three days is that why you stayed
Starting point is 01:33:43 like that that was my question like why once you decided you didn't want to go why did you stay why did i stay yeah i had nowhere else to go okay i could have gone back to LA i had to be somewhere in the midwest the following week i said let me do an adventure i got the money in my pocket let me do an event i had no money back then in 1999 i probably had 300 dollars in my pocket i thought i was johnny bananas i'm in a hotel room that costs 42 dollars a night people getting stabbed next door to me the towels are real small but i didn't give a fuck i was just happy to be in a fucking hotel room on the road doing comedy dog genuinely happy no genuinely happy smoking reefer with a little cd case with speakers i was Joe jerk off with speakers i would write stupid jokes and go to
Starting point is 01:34:33 these clubs and i would go to any club back then i didn't give a fuck i would look at the map if there was four clubs in that town i would do four fucking showcases and that's what i did i would go to all jokes aside i would go to coco's comedy club in detroit this other place that they took me to there's another place close to the casinos in canada like on the michigan border that i did when i was there those three nights i mean like i don't know two three hundred dollars when i was there that weekend so i was eating good i had a plane ticket to go back to you know all i needed was a plane ticket to go back to where i started from those days so let's say i was playing michigan all i needed was michigan and a cab ride to the hotel and i'd put the rest together somehow
Starting point is 01:35:19 somewhere they're fucking crazy whoo look at his main anxiety to thinking about only having three hundred dollars in your pocket that's it no money in the bank i would put away like i would buy a money order and put my ex-wife's name on it for child support and i and here i'd be in a room snorting coke and now i got two hundred dollars worth of money orders and i wish i could fucking sell them for ten cents on the dime but i mean i was it was crazy but that all disappears now by me shooting this special what makes it all better is thinking about those nights in michigan when i got attacked by the seagulls what makes it all better is you know being on a bus from fucking water authority new york city to
Starting point is 01:36:07 dallas and it taken 24 hours and being on the bus awake the whole time watching people hi getting off the bus eat lunch and smoking a joint and getting back on the bus i got really good at doing that i would roll like three joints and keep it in my sock and kiss the cops came on there and fucking crazy asleep being on the bus all night like i would just fuck it what am i going to do i got no way to sleep i might as well be in the bus all night do you think that contributes to you not having anxiety about this the fact that you went through all that how about going in front of a judge there's no more anxiety than that my friend going up in front of a judge and not knowing the answer that's fucking anxiety
Starting point is 01:37:05 so this i'm taking it which i could look at this two or three different ways i could think of this as it's going to change my life i could think of this as this is going to get me a tv show or i could think of this i'm just going to go up to have a good time wait think of that i think that i mean do you think that's probably what you need for a special because if you try that overdo yourself you've watched a thousand specials right the funniest ones over there having a good time oh hell yeah you have to edit train when you watch bill burr he's a great pro because he's having a great fucking time up there and he throws something new into the mix to make everything
Starting point is 01:37:49 highlight that's the beauty about bill burr when sabashin's on stage he has a great time up there when joe rogan's on stage he has a phenomenal time up there when when when fucking arie's on stage he has a great time up there for me to do well on stage i gotta be having a great time who gives a fuck what comes out of your mouth this is my first special if it's an old joke and it's flowing fuck it so be it bitches you know i don't have a closer yet that's a problem so i got three days to come up with a close i got a few ideas you know i'm saying i'm a fucking idea manly but i'm happy you're coming i'm sad that a lot of people couldn't come you know we couldn't get the extra security wouldn't allow it these people want a big insurance for the store they
