a little Sylvester oh
shit oh
Shit
Kick that muley kick that mule. We ain't got time to fuck around Lee. Go Lee
Oh shit
Oh
Here we go Wednesday the 19th
Do you think cock suckers who gives a fuck you're going for it no matter what
What's the story there fuck not everything all right in your world I
Love that you said that the my bottom button is fighting and it's always oh it's stressing out right now
I can never as it like I can't that's the one thing I'm looking forward to about being any skinnier is just
Like I can always like the top button always works, but the further down you go
And it's worse. I hate having one open when you look down after like like after a bar mitzvah or after a wedding
You're dancing and you find out like your shirts all open you're sweating. Oh, they see the stomach hair shit
Do you have a lot of hair? I haven't covered fucking hair. No, thank God
I don't even have my fucking legs. My daughter's got hairy legs with sharks to fuck out of it
Pick her up. I'm like, what the fuck is this shit?
And you don't see them they just there's little blonde tentacles of fucking hair to the curling shit
it's
When you I bought a shirt
Like in the prime of my diet like when I was at 270 and I put it on for the baptism
Oh, yeah, yeah fucking buttons were about to bust and I was never so cracked in my life
Like I thought I didn't know what happened to the shirt. I thought I didn't try it on when I got it
I was kind of fucking stuck and
I finally said well, you know and now the shirt fits
That's awesome. Now the shirt the buttons aren't stressing the fuck out
You know, but it's like when you see a woman with the with the yoga pants
And she's put them to a stress test like you see the skin and you see the tattoo, but they're black pants
Oh, yeah, I love those yoga traction those motherfuckers. I love yoga pants
It's like everybody wears them all fucking day now women just say fuck it. We're just wearing yoga pants
Which I'm not mad at you. It's kind of interesting with the nice sneakers and shit
It's funny they've they've started wearing sweatshirts around their waist at the gym because guys are so creepy
Like they just have to now like because it was it was it is kind of weird sometimes
Especially around here some of the gyms like they're like it looks like they're dressed for like a porn shoot at a gym
Well, you go to that 24-hour fitness, which is always a fucking
It's always a fucking actorville. Oh, yeah
Guys, you know chicks that get dolled up with a hat with the ponytail coming out of the hat
Did you ever like go? I guess hit on a girl at the gym like always here about people meeting people at the gym
No, no job. We guys can't meet people at the gym. No, no, no, no, you know what I say three words at the fucking gym
Do you know that three words? That's it three words
There was one guy at the YMCA when I first started my mission like eight years ago
There was one guy at the fucking YMCA that was 70 something maybe 80. He looked great
God bless him, but it was his social activity. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
His social activity was to get to the Y at 9 a.m. And stay there till 7
And like do a little bit of this but talk to you
But he would talk to you when you were in the middle of your workout
And they perceived the fucking talk to you and talk and you like listen, so it was got to the point where I got the heavy
iPhones the
Speakers and I put them on my ears and I just and it's the rudest thing. I was raised better than that, but I got an hour
15 minutes I got an appointment. I gotta go do something. I gotta pick somebody up. I gotta go do this
You know, I got an hour and a half
You know I'm saying I don't have time to stop at 15 minutes to fucking talk to you about the weather or nothing
I gotta do a fucking workout. Plus I gotta jump on the elliptical
But there's people who go to the gym to chit chat. It drives me fucking crazy
It drives me crazy. You know, I'm getting a bag for the garage. Oh, you are you getting a bag?
Oh, yeah, she won't let me go get it because she wants to get it for me for Christmas
Getting the weight set like a basic weight set just to be able to my class and I couldn't fall asleep
One in the morning you bust out a little workout and shit. You're not gonna go to sleep
You know take a nice shower, but at least you'll be tired and you're gonna work out late night. I used to work out
Late night for years when I had my own type of shit that I could just go out to were you like doing it at the end of your
Day or are you staying up? I was working at the end of my day 10 o'clock when I was your age
I could you know, you still got energy at 10, right? You know when you're fucking
When you're young 20 35 you could work come home take a breather and
Then at 9 get motivated to fucking go hit it, which is a big motivation
That's a very big motivation for a guy like me now today. It doesn't work
For maybe you or some other people a lot of people can't wake up early and go to the fucking gym and get that much
Stuff thrown at it. I'm mad at you. That's just the way life is. I don't have energy to go now. Oh, yeah
I don't have the fucking energy to go at 8 o'clock at night. I just don't I can't focus. I
Got other shit on my mind when I go early in the morning. It's good because it breaks that
It breaks that stupidity that you have all day and half at 12 o'clock, you know
Right, especially if you're riding and you're sitting there and you're stuck with a fucking subject or something
It's always great to get up in the middle thing go bust it out and come back take a shower
We eat something get back to it for two or three hours
It's nice
It's it's hard though in the like at the
Like the middle of the day for me is tough
Just because I feel like I can never get going like you wake up super early and start working
I don't wake up until 8 8 30 sometimes
So for me to like go work out at 12 like that's why I like the 9 a.m
And it's tough like because a lot of times I don't want to leave in the morning to be very honest
So and that's like to be honest with everyone ever since kettle bells closed
I've been kind of fucking up and I was just in the last week or so started going back and it's uh
It's harder when like that's why I think that's what people like to get to and all that like I like kettle bells
It's tough when you're just going by yourself. It's hard not to stay motivated. It's not motivation, but just to just to get up
Just to get out of bed or leave the office or whatever. I
Just know I was really heavy at one time
And I know that I never want to feel that way again
No, one and I never want to start over again like I never want to stop working out for a year and have to start over again at 55 I
Always try to do something even when my back was hurt, you know this week weekend. I went to Chicago
We only got to work out Friday
You know, but I worked out and I worked out pretty hard
I gave a good fucking sweat and the shirt still in the fucking luggage. Oh my god
That's things in the smell like fucking cottage cheese. It was still wet when I checked out on Sunday. So I put it in the front
Okay, I just put it in the front now, but I didn't have a bag. It was right there. I was running out of the fucking door
But I always try to do something the last I went to the chiropractor Monday said take off till Thursday
But yesterday I walked and today I walked like a motherfucker, you know, I put my walking snow my running sneakers on
There were new balances. Yeah, I just went today, you know, and I came back and I was wet and I did some
Fucking whatever things I did a couple curls couple push-ups bunch of sit-ups
How many times do you think you've started over? I must have started over at least four times. No, not since it's 2000
When I started going for this exercise routine, I have not started over. I don't get that sore anymore
It's unless I try something new right like a longer line you try something new you will get a little sore
It's different muscle groups and whatnot. It's tough
To stay motivated, but I know the other side, you know when you're in your late 20s
Your mid-30s you could take a couple years off and you could survive with just doing little things and keeping an eye on your diet
But when you get back into it when you're 40, it's really hard again
You know, that's why if I know what I know now, I would have never stopped
I would have always kept some type of program. That's why I say something like jiu-jitsu
Because you're gonna do it for the rest of your life
You're gonna be doing that and mixing with other things, but that's your foundation
It could be karate. It could be kung-fu. It could be whatever the fuck you want. It could be ballet
It could be Pilates. You need something that you like
That you know, you know like for a long time, you know the guys are there there's girls day you could talk to people
It's kind of takes you away from your norm. It takes you out of your fucking norm, which if you know anything about me
I love doing right. I hate it. I love
Since I was a fucking kid. I love doing different shit
You can only play basketball on 38c for so long. You get to know everybody's moves. Let's take this show over the sea caucus
Let's take this show at a fucking 16th Street to Gilmore. You know, I'm saying let's take this and that's how you gauge
Who the fuck you are? It's tough the first couple days no matter what you do when you go outside your comfort zone
But it's all so interesting and you get it out of the way you go. You know what I did it. I don't like it
See, I don't find it into it like to me. It's scary
For like the first month
Like you're starting a new job knew anything to me
I don't I don't think I avoided in some senses. I avoid certain things like working out and other stuff
But like I'll do other things that are new to me, but like I get so much anxiety about anything new. I
Don't like it. It's like it. I wish I could be excited about trying something outside of my comfort zone
Because I'm not at all, you know, we're two different age things here
So there's a lot of things I've tried over the years like I didn't like amusement parks
But I don't like I'm using posters again. I didn't like the whole fucking drama and like seeing people puke on rides
I don't like no that I was always a kid that got carsick
Have you changed a lot since it since you were kid like your personality what you like what you enjoy
The tough question
I mean we all had to evolve a little bit and
They sure like that, you know, I I taught you about the food you eat the same food you ate not
As bad as the shit you ate, you know, I grew up in Jersey where I hamburger deluxe's
Open steaks, you know, there was no Wendy's, you know Wendy's was the first one on Tumley Avenue
McDonald's has always been around like cancer
You know, I'm talking fried chickens always been around jack-in-the-box was always up in Queens
Arthur Treach's fish and chips that was like a fish and chip place
I never really ate they except once when I was a kid in the Bronx or something
But there was the abundance. There wasn't no fucking subway. There was no fucking J&J brothers
There was no Jersey Pete's Mike's whatever the fuck it is those sandwiches. There was none of that shit, you know, I
Was thinking about you today because I was
Thinking about my deepest moments even when I lived in that fucking rocket ship
I ain't good
Like I never fucking ain't bad
Like up the corner for me was the palmers when I lived in the rocket ship
The palmers had like nice Italian bread and like prosciutto and ham and how do you one of those?
I never thought of fucking going to a fast-food restaurant. I never thought of getting like a
Like all those years. I never thought of any of that shit. I got pizza
There was a place when I was growing up the Midtown Lounge and they used to have a chef
The one brother was a chef and every day he served a
Fucking lunch that was superb for eight bucks seven bucks
And I made it a point to go to because it was salad soup. I got all the four fucking nutrients
It was a dessert, you know, I've never been a drinker with my meals. I fucking hate drinking with my meals
Right. Yeah, you know, I hate anything extra anything going in my stomach for food
But I never it's like you said to me the one day. Yeah, I like trying new things Joey when it comes to food
You don't like trying new things your girlfriend likes trying new things and when you want to be suave you want oh sure
I'll try new thing. You don't want to try new things
Food I know here. Okay. I don't like you drive past the shittiest restaurant like where you go for chicken teriyaki
I'm surprised you haven't been dead yet over that. I won't go in that fucking mall. Really like that whole mall gives me the creeps
Like that whole fucking strip mall gives me the creeps
Would have given me the crease and I was that yes, I didn't well cuz he
It's more a lot what the way I was thinking was
Just how you live your life like just I was I was talking to someone today and they and they were saying like you shouldn't
Fight who you are you shouldn't like for me like what I've been struggling with a lot recently is
Part of me wants to be an entrepreneur like I like it
but part of me also
I'm not sure if I'm cut out for it to be honest and it's not like it's not this but just like running a business and
They were saying like I was talking to them and they're like, oh, I ran a business for a while
but I
Thrive as part of a team and
part of what I've been
Going back and forth with is
Like would I be like what should like what should I do like should I join a team like you said one someone help someone
Grow a podcast or should I do something on my own and
Part of me wants to the challenge of doing it myself a part of me isn't sure if I can do it. Okay, here. It's playing. It's fucking simple
Okay
20 years ago 10 years ago. I would see you know what Lee
go get yourself a kid your age and
You know, okay, so you go get you go get part of a team
Okay, first of what team do you want to be a part? I don't know. Okay right now?
I know maybe
Three people four people who know as much as you has produced some podcasts one of them is red man
You know, Jamie. Yeah, Vicky pezza. You know, we have a lot of people that have been doing this since day one. Okay
So now that's some options for you there
You open up this business or whatever the fuck you want to do now at the other part
Let's say you do find of a team like all these other podcast groups that are going on there popping up
The difference between you and I and Joe Rogan and Harry
We do the podcast I love coming here. Oh, yeah, it's a me. I wish I could come here five fucking days a week
Instead of going on the road. I just couldn't support my family five fucking days a week
So I need to go on the road and I and I love doing this
But we have it down to two days a week right now and it's the law of diminishing returns
It's I just want to do this for a while. So I don't want to
over
Saturate myself and starting six podcast and trying to be a part of everybody's fire. I'm happy just doing this with you
You're experienced
Let's say you join up with somebody who's been doing it for two years and I did radio for 18 years or radios dead
Radios dead get rid of that fucking voice radios dead. Okay. This is podcast
And I want you to put your emotions which a lot of people don't do they still think this is radio
And that's why that podcast doesn't thrive as well because they still think this is radio
So you have two options you could go with some people who are not as experienced as you and you got split the money up the same fucking juice
Okay, are you gonna feel about that? That's number one number two
do I
Think the idea is that you have
Should be you and as time goes on you gonna hire somebody who in turn
You're gonna make to be a miniature you and
They understand the fucking what's going on here
But I can see them. What's it the same intrapanum means I was doing paperwork today Lee
I was making copies and filing and stapling and
I enjoyed it. You know, I was doing it for the podcast
I was getting Ios and doing this and you got to open up your calendar and mark where it goes now
I could take somebody and pay them 12 15 bucks an hour to do that
But you know what I wouldn't be I wouldn't know what was going on. I
Want to know what's going on and that's a problem with me
I always want to know what's going on everybody who fails is because they spread themselves out to thin and
They don't have control of two or three things and meanwhile when you go there
That's they get an $800 mics instead of $300 mics and they're drinking fucking $22 water
Instead of regular water and they got the extreme. I'm saying like little fucking things that they wouldn't understand because they're not paying for it
Right, you know, there's little fucking things along the line. So these are the decisions you have to do
This is why I never spread myself thing
Because I want to know always know what the right hand and the left hand to do it
You want to call me a control freak call me what the fuck you want?
But show me a guy who's got fucking 19 things going on that could look at all of them that could oversee all of them
And the only way you learn that is by losing it when you think you could do everything
IE I could do this I get on a plane come back shoot a movie
I got to have a blog on Monday. I told Timmy that I'll do his podcast. I told this guy do his podcast
I told I knew your calendar is unbearable, right? Oh, yeah, no control nothing. That's the law of diminishing returns
You don't know what you're saying on these fucking podcast
You don't know what you're saying on stage anymore. So this is what I did from 2003
To my 2000 to 2005. This is how I was living. Okay, you follow me and I got my lumps. I made some enemies
Okay, because I couldn't cover all these dates. I couldn't do this guy's movie and do this I
Couldn't do a thousand things. So now I stop I take a deep breath and I think
And I think a couple things. How's this gonna affect my life right now?
What's affect my life do I want to stay out of the house for four fucking days shooting your stupid movie Marina Del Rey?
For $100 a day from towards my insurance not fucking really, right? No, you know, there's a thousand options in my life now
As you go along with your life
Your options become less because you have more responsibility
Are you with me? Yeah, right now? Let me tell you something right now
You're 28 years old if I came to you right now and said listen, I got a carnival cruise line
You want to ship for three months of fucking time, but you're gonna do podcast on the fucking ship
We're gonna pay you 60,000 for five and three months
You could do it. Oh, yeah, of course. You could give a Paula a big hug
Big fucking hug give it three dumplings and say I'll see you in three months dog
And guess what you're only gonna be home for a week when you come back
And you're gonna go out again
And these are the responsibilities these are the things these decisions that you make as a young man
That caves your career caves your life
Because you think there's something at home. There's a lot of things I had no responsibilities
I didn't leave north bergen, new jersey
Because since day one I was quest at the head west
Once my mother died
And I saw where my life was going. I had nothing holding me there
a girl
When I give a fuck or girl
Between a girl and a life you got to pick your life, right? Oh, yeah girl always be there. I love to go in Boston
Yeah, absolutely. You know, it's kind of weird all these things. So
right now
If somebody comes to me and says, hey, we want you to go to south africa for six months and do comedy
We'll pay you all big amounts of money, but you can't come home for six months. I can't do that
I can't do that
I'm trying to raise a kid and have a wife and have a family. That's more important to me than fucking anything
I
Could always make a living dog
I could always make a living
Do you think I became right now what I do? I'm an entrepreneur
For the last 26 years, I could look you in the face and say I'm a fucking entrepreneur
Did I ever tell anybody I was an entrepreneur? No
Did I ever get a business card and go to dinners with my fucking stupid friends?
And say I'm an entrepreneur whatever the fuck the word is no
Because I just did it
And I and I got better and I failed along the way. You got to keep paperwork. You got to do this
You're gonna be a good comic. You got to write you got to write your dates down
And uh, you know if you want to be a good plumber
If I say to you tomorrow, I'm gonna hire you as a plumber lead. You know what joey? I'm gonna work with joey joey
Isn't rich
He he doesn't struggle though. He's got a wife two kids
That both in private school
Joey doesn't go out for expensive dinners every night, but he's got a nice plumbing business
You know what mom will learn to be a plumber. Okay, first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna get a notebook
Because every day at the end of the year now, you don't you won't know this to you in for two years. I'm telling you now
You're gonna get a notebook and every day you're gonna write down what you learned with the date who you worked with what tools you learned
So you you get everything you do remember when you're a plumbing electrician construction guy
Then basically paying paying you to solve problems
Okay, every day what's a plumber doing installs toilets
He can just come up and do 10 toilets a day don't work that way
Because each situation is going to be fucking different. Uh-huh. This one's going to need ladders to carry the toilet
The toilet don't fit through the fucking door
The old pipe was in there. There's always a by the way, right? Yeah, you don't get paid for installing toilets
You get paid to deal with the by the way is whether you're an electrician
Concrete whatever the fuck you're doing. There's always a by the way
It a job just does not go smooth see like there's that life your experience is what helps that job move along
Oh, I know what to do cut that piece of wall off. There's an existing wall in there and also you sit there
You go, what the fuck does this guy know? He's been doing it for 20 years
He knows every wire in these fucking walls
It's the same thing in any fucking career, you know, I didn't know this when I became an electrician that I write this shit down
I started writing it down after a year
What pipes I bent, you know, how thick the pipes were just stupid shit
And what do you and you would like go over it at night or what would you do?
When I go over it at night, yeah, we go over it at night I go over it at the end of the week
But that goes back to grammar school
When I sit you down and we talk about the world or the the world 19 whatever or the Holocaust
What happened as the teacher talking about it, you're writing notes
And when you go home that night, what do you do if you're not not me? I didn't do this
I'm sure you did you're a nice kid. You go look over those notes
And every night you look over those notes for half hour 20 minutes. So guess what when finals comes
You're a bad motherfucker. You know this stuff already. See I fucked up
And uh, we all fucked up. I believe this is this is what I'm saying to you. We've all fucked up in that department
I didn't I had and it sounds like um, it sounds weird and I think I've talked about it before
Me knowing that I was kind of smart. I was smart enough not to study
Fuck me up. I wish I never knew that
because
I never I never would go over my notes and I would never almost take notes
Unless like I was interested or like it was a class that I was terrible in
I would take notes, but English history
My last English class I took in college didn't read one of the books
I would listen to what everyone else was saying. I would say I know a lot of people do that
I know that's not a new thing in in school
But that's why
It's hard. Uh, that's why I've been
Stressing about being an entrepreneur because I feel like that work ethic
My work ethic is there when I'm working for somebody when I'm working at like CVS
Like that's a manual I can I can do it. But for for me, you have great work ethic, but it's your organizational skills
Blows and it takes you too long to get up and get out. Uh-huh. That's that that'll always kill you get up
Get out that bob molly said that 22 years ago
Go out before you're right. What I get up get up whatever the fuck it is right and that's
A problem not with me. I don't really give a fuck but everybody I've seen that doesn't have the ability to rock roll in the morning
That's not a good ability. I want you to be able to rock roll the drop of that
I want you to be able to fucking, you know, sometimes we oversleep
It's that guy that wakes up and goes I got this
I'm overslept but watch me put this together with 15 fucking minutes
Oh, yeah, so
It takes you quick to get up in the morning
You know, I know you get up at four sometimes and you hit the computer
And you look at numbers and different things which that's a great quality. That's that listen. That's what that's what I'm saying
You want to be an entrepreneur?
Go for it. Lee you have all the fucking tools
You have all the fucking tools
There's nothing to sweat here
As long as you do the work
Before you go into it. I want you to make a checklist
I want you to really know the work you're getting yourself into so you could tell everybody else
What you're doing so everybody understands your schedule
And go for it
The most important thing in any of this shit is go for it
You know, you learn the most after a failure
You know, I sit here with you now and I talk about this thing with school
One of my fucking biggest failures when I got left back because I didn't get on the back because I was stupid
I gotta live back because I got lazy right. Yeah. Yeah, but I thought I could beat the system
You're not gonna beat the system. I'm glad I got that lesson handed to me. I had the same prom you had
But something else came out of me when I got left back. I learned something. I learned how hard
I wasn't as intelligent as you. I know right now today
I am my wife talk. I'm not intelligent
I hear Joe Rogan speak and Ari and all you guys are really really really college educated
My smarts isn't in that department
I have a different type of smarts. Okay, and along the way it's built up
Just smart where you guys are at from reading books and
Going online and talking to people and asking questions on a particular topic that you're interested in, you know
I mean, I'm not
Book smart like a lot of you guys, but I know one thing I could be
Because I'll take the same book you're fucking reading. I'll break that motherfucker down into chunks
And I pull out of that book what I need to know what's important out of that book and that's what I know how to do
Oh
And I'll get it down word to fucking word like after I got left back was where I learned to review
My schoolwork every night
Even after my mother died that year in high school
I had like an hour when you get home when everybody's everybody's shot running shit. I would look over tomorrow's work
Before I went out and did the hits I asked that I talked about and smoked the 22 joints with the avilos and all those
That savages behind the shed. I looked over my work. You know why?
Because those guys were book smart and Steve Avila was book smart
Loops was really book smart MIT
Glencanti was men's amends fernie was men's amends, but I always had some and I learned it after I got left back
But I was a hard worker
That was a hard worker, but I knew how to organize
And I listened to that fucking teacher
I listened to what was important to her
I got to learn what was important to her and that's what I excelled in
And that's how you get a haze and beach
Yeah, yeah, well, what do you mean important to her like what she emphasized?
You know when something's important to somebody
When I make you go through pages and I go don't worry about that worry about this
That's important to her. She's gonna say different things in her speech
That are important to her
Now, do you know what quality you're learning there when you listen to her and you're trying to figure this out salesmanship
Because you're listening to their needs. It's the same fucking dangly
You take their needs and you blast it against them
So what are you doing with her? You know what she's gonna ask you on the fucking quiz what she's been talking about
What's important to her?
And you get to know what's important to her and you get to know down to the fucking tea
And you get great grades. I'm not saying I was a fucking five beta kappa
But for the amount of drugs I was doing with no supervision and shit. I didn't do a bad fucking job
I didn't quit school. I wasn't forced to quit school because I was stupid
I quit school because I was stupid
I didn't think about the future but now I'm thinking about I should have quit two years early
If I knew what I'm not doing now, I would have quit two fucking years early
Jesus because I kind of got my gd and still got to college
Right. Yeah, what's the fucking difference? No, what's the fucking difference?
So you're 16 now you're fucking quit
You get a job with your father for two fucking years you put away money
You get your gd when you're 18 you go to the community college and after two years you transfer into a major fucking college
How's that one for you?
They'll give you more of an odd because you had a problem how to quit you make up some fucking story
That your foot went bad. You got you stepped on a fucking grenade or something icesville. Whatever the fuck you're gonna tell him and uh
It's so weird how all these things I say to you like
The organization I didn't know nothing about this shit Lee you learned this along the way
Yeah, but
Was it hard for you to break bad habits because that's what it's you know, it breaks bad habits two things losing money
breaks bad habits
and losing things
Like if you come to me and I don't have the paperwork on you
Like the first year I did the podcast I would always get mad because I would always read the fucking things three times a week
But I never bothered to look at the io's right
I never bothered to look at the dates on them. I just taken for granted
There was two or three times a month and then I get pissed off when they pay me for one time
I go, well, what about look at the io?
Oh
I never took the time to look for io. So what happened? I lost money
That's how you learn you learn by getting kicked in the fucking ass
But but at that time at that point sometimes it's too late
Like that's that's like everyone always says you learn from failures
That doesn't help someone who's like not not not mad at you, but everyone says it
Like everyone says that as as you're getting into an entrepreneurial thing, you know, like I don't want fail
Stop saying entrepreneur. Whatever the word is starting up is this stop saying that bullshit fucking american word
That just makes you stand out like a fucking momo. I'm an entrepreneur. You go fuck your mother
We're all do everywhere. Somebody's gotta be helping us
Right, you know what I'm saying? So
You want to go into business for yourself, right? Yeah, see you just gotta step up to the fucking pump
I've been in business for myself for 30 fucking years 25 doing comedy. Well, let's just say 25
Right. Well, okay. So just for your thing since you said you you uh
Going back and forth when you were starting comedy like before you really jumped into it
Do you think that time period was your not being sure like being nervous about jumping into
Okay, I was talking to Tommy Easter today my brother Tommy Easter
And we're talking about a delicate subject about him getting a job and why it's important
And I explained to him when I moved to you. I thought I was Johnny bananas too
And I eventually got a job, you know, people say oh artists don't get jobs. That's great
That's fucking great. Not when you got a coke having and you got child support
And you're fucking trying to live on people's couches and you want to buy a pair of pants and fucking Ross
You know, when you want to do all these things you need a fucking job
Right. Okay, right now if I took Tommy east on the road
Four times a fucking month. What would he make?
What would he make if I play if I paid for the plane ticket he'd make 200 dollars a week at the club
If I threw him an extra hundred it cost him fucking they got he get you get a
300 a week that's 1200 a fucking month. He's gonna eat 150 while he's on on the road
You know what I'm saying? So you can't make a living you can't live on 12
You can't make a living you can't make a lot unless you come back and you got $100 gigs during the week because you have to
Store the improv you see what they give you at the improv a $7 bill
They give you a five and two singles at the fucking lat county
So they give you 15 bucks and at the last factor they give you 25, but you get to check every fucking two weeks
So let's say you do four spots that means you pick up a hundred fucking dollars. Okay
You can't make a living right now at this situation. You can't get ahead. You can't put away money
So I told Michael go to one of those telemarketing places. They pay 15 bucks an hour on sunset
Inbound fucking calls people put ads out in the paper
Whatever and you call this fucking number for a couch or you know when you call the sleepmatic bed
You don't watch tv and they have the sleepmatic bed, right? Yeah, all this right now in the next 20 seconds
What do you think you call uncle joey?
Hi, how are you? I'm a sleepmatic professional. I'm some fucking junkie who can't sleep at night
That's gonna answer the phone for fucking 12 50 an hour and try to sell you a fucking bed
So I explained to him that there's no stigma in this
That right now at this point in his life. He's living in a van
How long he would have to go on the road for three months and not spend the dime to get into a fucking apartment
Not spend the dime to get to an apartment in this town
And like I told him I go, you know get into a Taj Mahal. What you're gonna do is get a job
This is a plan and this is the same plan I had my plan was cut short when my vehicle was towed
You understand me? So now I had to think a little quick. I thank god
I had people like Ralphie May and josh wolf that I could sleep on their couch. I always drew him a couple bucks
I almost how I always helped them out you show up with a little fucking weed
And everybody helps each other out
But I moved in with Gavin
And I had to give Gavin rent money and it was a couch
I had that because it was a couch in a shower
It wasn't the best sleep in the world. I didn't sleep comfortable wasn't great for my lumbar
But the fucking options were the street
So it makes your lumbar wakes up fucking perfect. You wake up and tip top magoo shape and shit. Yeah
Well, this is couch or street and then after that you get a roommate situation
And then after that you meet a girl and you you date and you have a roommate situation
You move in together and you save money and all along the way
You're making little fucking strides, but you don't even know it
You know like I told them I go if you stay out there one more year you're gonna go home
You're gonna go home you're gonna only live in a fucking car for so long
Before it starts about the year, you know, nobody wants to hire you
You pull it up in your fucking apartment
It smells like a shoe in there, you know, there's vomit
There's food and I'm not saying nothing bad about Tommy. I lived in that car also
I lived in my car. So I'm speaking from fucking experience here
so
There's things that you don't want to do
But you learn how to
adjust
You're gonna learn along the way Lee
But for you to always want to fall
With somebody a part of a team. What team are you fucking talking about? What team are you experiencing? What team do you know?
That you want to be a part of three white dudes that think they're all geniuses
And they haven't done deck right they haven't done deck
They haven't done deck you've been here since day one you came to me for fucking three months ago
You can't use this on your own my guys
You should really start your own podcast. You've been here since day one
nine offices
18 different conglomerations computers wiring cds
Boxes live podcast podcast of the coffee shop
You want to name a fucking few so all these things?
They haven't done all these fucking things
So what are you gonna say to you at a meeting when you're sitting there
Stuttering and sweating and all red from the fucking head. They're talking nonsense
They don't know what the fuck they're talking about how long will that last what team are you a part of?
Right, but then then that's what i'm worried about though is like i'm not a good salesman
I'm not that's not my strength. You're a jew. It's in your fucking dna
You just gotta wake it up remember you said you went to israel right the people there would be
Tremendous salesmen here that they didn't stop in the street. Tell them what they did to you. They took your wallet
They take your idea. Yeah, they took your wallet. They don't they don't stop
You know what man that type of persistence is
The persistence you need to succeed
If you really think about it like i'm i need to eat today. This motherfucker is coming in here with money in his pocket
and i'm getting
Think of that mindset
Because that's a mindset you have when you sell cars or vacuums
If you're gonna be really fucking successful
Okay, i learned when i worked in boulder. Okay when i learned
This is a great story because
The guys are fucking animal
When i worked in boulder, i worked a pure fucking sales machines
Normal led carlos roberti these guys could sell you anything
It could be a refrigerator a computer
I saw it
Morty saddler. He's a frontier hondon and he's a general manager
That guy could sell you anything
To anybody to anybody bump you
Make you believe you're paying nothing. He's not making a profit
Then the way back to the tower. He's like go do your paperwork. You're getting $500 for this plus to five
Split it with me for 250 and you're like, I thought you didn't make no money on this. That's how good these guys are
Okay, but there was a guy by the name of rick visor
Didn't say much white dude
hair on the side buck teeth
six for four two daughters
Was an engineer or something
An architect who lost his job at IBM one of those fucking heartbreak stories from 30 years ago. Jesus. Yeah all those computer plants closed down
He became a suburb car salesman
But he was different
he
Wouldn't beat people up
He was a gentleman. He would talk to them. He would take their information their phone number and mallon stuff and brochures and
He had a different way of selling you
Okay, normulet is gone. He's probably fucking 80 and it would have back in the car was about where he's probably getting out of jail
I'm sitting here with you right now talking shit
You know what rick visor's doing? What?
He's still selling suburbers. He works by appointment only
Two days a week. He's a painter
He paints pictures and sells them
And he probably makes 300 000 a year
selling cars selling cars
While everybody else is making 150
Working like a dog rick visor works two days a week by appointment only flyer and suburb
So people call him when they just want to re-up their secret. He treated you
Like you've never been treated before once rick visor took your name down
You went through an array of systems
When nobody was using the computer he was using the computer you got birthday stuff
Christmas cards sent to you your daughter's birthdays. He knew everything about you
He he just didn't sell you one car
He was gonna sell you cars
your kid car
Your daughter a car her boyfriend. I mean, it's amazing
I look at that and I think about that all the time
Right. Yeah, okay how
these other guys
were great salesmen in their own right
But they were only a part of the small picture
You know when these guys
went to lunch and had a drink rick visor was filling up
postcards
You know rick visor would come in at 7 30 when everybody came in at 9 because he talked to the service customers
Okay, what is this crazy, you know saying dog so
He worked smarter
Okay, all the way through
Because while he where you got him for $5,000 and you robbed the poor bastard of his car
You're never gonna sell him into the car rick visor's gonna sell that guy
30 fucking cars in his lifetime
And he'll just call him and make an appointment
But you know why he wasn't a great salesman
He was great with paperwork and follow-up
And he wasn't scared to call you
That's a good point. So you don't have to be like the prototypical anything you just have to find a way to make it work for you
That's a good way to make it work for you
Everybody's different
I don't ever want you know what happens when you're part of a team
It gives you a little competition. You know what competition is great for you
But sometimes it's bad for you at a certain age
I don't want to worry about what he's doing. The only person I worry about is what Joey Diaz is doing, right?
That's it. And and if you worry about what Joey Diaz is doing
Like if I worry about it
I could see I'll make strides
With my life, do you know what I'm saying? Like I could see the strides when I first moved here
Jesus christ this guy got a deal
This guy got that this guy got that I was always thinking about what I wasn't getting
Yeah, and I was thinking about these guys where they were getting when I stopped thinking about what they were getting
Then I started getting stuff
Did you have to stop this word you keep throwing at me entrepreneur right is about state of mind
And work and sticking to it
Consistency, yeah, that's that's where I have issues that is the number one thing
That will always kill you
That if I watched all the great comics that I came up with
They were always very consistent when I was inconsistent. I didn't have anything going on for myself
All the comics that were consistent
They work forever they do this forever
If I tell you I'm gonna do something every monday at eight
We do it
You know
There's a lot of times I don't feel like my wife was sick tonight. We couldn't have done this tonight
We could have came tomorrow friday. Who gives a shit nightly just a podcast
And then when it fails
You're mad at the podcast business, right?
You know saying oh, it's a podcast business. It's a fucking racket. No, you didn't put your time
Into it. You went away from consistency is everything
I have a big problem. I'm too consistent
How can you be too consistent too consistent? I really don't give a fuck what plans you have
Yeah, I really don't give a fuck about your plans
When I came to Los Angeles, I knew I was going into a major league
And I could look you straight in the face and I could say on this goddamn podcast
I didn't become a major league fucking comedian until six years ago
I can't imagine how unmajor league I was
When I first fucking got here
But I did something I stuck to my guns on one thing and that's one thing I stuck to my until today
I do what I do and I do it
And that's it. I don't give a fuck about what your problem is. I don't give a fuck about what your situation is
I don't give a fuck about what you want to do. I don't give a fuck about your movie
I don't give a fuck about anything. I always that was the greatest quality I had
Not giving a fuck. No when I get up in the morning. I have a schedule
And unless I don't break that fucking schedule
I don't break it
I don't give a fuck
You know people offer me shit all the time now, but it's tuesday in new york and
I got to do a podcast
I don't give a fuck
You know, I got into comedy part of it not to have to go to weddings
And stupidity on the weekends
That's 60 percent
60 percent of all I got
No, because I I wanted to be busy. I didn't want to have time for fucking stupidity in my life. Right. Yeah
Oh, what I thought was stupidity for somebody else going to weddings
It's probably a lot of fun. You know what I'm saying? You ready for another dorsally?
It's that type of night. I'm gonna say it doesn't look like I have a choice. This is bleeding t.hc right now
Consistency is so fucking important so fucking important it it kills you
And I saw it kill people in comedy and that's what made me even more consistent
How did it kill people? I like how they're being inconsistent kill people
Right now. I got a bad back
And for the last three weeks, I've had a bad back
And I can't go to jiu-jitsu. It makes me very inconsistent
But it's a true injury that I have. You know, I'm also thinking if I was your age, I'd be down there
With nothing going on. I'd be down there right now. I think of the baby. I think I'm on stage
I can't go on stage. Fuck them walking on crooked because I'm a bad back
Because I want to go to jiu-jitsu or do kettlebells or do deadlifts or whatever the fuck
I won't eat you for me is all these fucking things
You have responsibilities. I sat here over the years and watched different comedians and watched different people who said they were writers
And I and I watched their bud-wah lifestyle
And I would go I wouldn't do that move
But that's just me. I would never repeat to them that I wouldn't do it. What were they doing?
In this whole six weeks of fucking going on the road and stuff I grain I gained three pounds
Nice, that's it. That was really good. I was really impressed with that when I went to the doctor that morning
And he goes you're 303. I was like what?
What the shit I went to New York the Cuban steak sandwich and everything
But I didn't eat sweets like I just didn't eat sweets. Okay. Okay, and I stayed pretty consistent
Anyway, you were walking and I was walking. I always do something. I'm always doing fucking something
But
With a diet people always go out of diet didn't work me. But now you didn't let the fucking diet work for you
You know weight watches is fucking a great diet. I don't give a fuck what people type
It took a hundred pounds off me that shit like that one egg with an English muffin
With two pieces of bacon and water, you know, all that shit
It taught me that I didn't need french fries. It taught me that I didn't need chips
You know that you didn't have them you have a point system
If you stick to this fucking point system the shit will fall off
It took about four weeks for chunks to start falling off. You know what I'm saying? So I could see where people get
discouraged right now. Yeah, but the same thing happens with company
When you you have different parts of your career
And there's different things going on when there's different parts of your career like Tommy Easter
Tommy Easter will be busy as fuck
From sunday to thursdays
But friday and saturdays becomes a different town. It's a showcase town
So at that level you're really not busy unless you're a feature act and you're opening up for somebody and fucking nice house
You understand what I'm talking about even at the improv. They have three man acts
So it's kind of rough when you live in seattle or michigan or dc
When you're an open mic or you have all this work during the week, but on fridays and saturdays prime nights, you're open
You can get a job bartending and then once you start getting weekend work
You get rid of that work. So pretty much during the week you work for free and on the weekends you get paid for your fucking work
Oh god, so you would just bartend on the weekends. I wouldn't bartend that I'm just saying you would I didn't know even to get a job
But not to get a job. That's how stupid I was
But if you think now in hindsight every level along the way and then it came a point
Where I was just working weekends
And during the week, yeah, you picked up one night for a buck and a quarter or 75 bucks or 65 bucks or whatever the fucking is
And that all adds into your monthly fucking spew, you know
Absolutely. Yeah, it's tough. How do you listen when you were talking about being scared here
I mean the biggest fear the reason why guys like me and other guys
Okay, so let's say tomorrow. I want to sell real estate
Okay, right. Yeah now for the last six years. I've been uh
Let's give me a fake occupation. I've been selling reefer
At that health at that medical marijuana store
I get 12 bucks an hour. I work full time
You know, I'm single I smoke dope I go to the gym. I go to concerts shit like that
Right, okay now comes one day that my mom at one of those stupid holidays sits me down and gives me an idea of beating
Joey, you're not a kid no more. You gotta think of something serious
Why don't you go sell real estate with your cousin Lee?
Now, what do you think happens when you sell real estate the first six months?
Not much. You're probably so you're
Now when you sell real estate, which means you go to work for yourself, right? Yeah, which means you're uh,
Entrapanua, whatever the fucking word is
Correct. Yeah, it's the same thing. Mm-hmm now with those jobs. They give you like a base salary
Like 500 a month during training for six months
You know 500 a month does for you nothing those are those lunches gasoline and your dry cleaning bill. Yeah. Oh, yeah
So how are you gonna make a living?
You have to do some else. Yeah do something else or you got to sell bitch
Oh, yeah, so what happens you get your license?
After the first month you fuck around how many people you know?
Tomorrow check the stats on real estate licenses. Yeah. Oh, yeah
Compete to how many people are really fucking selling real estate
It's crazy. Everybody's got a real estate license
Right. Let me fucking moron with a four or four door car and a nice suit itself fucking real estate
I'm not calling you a moron. I'm just telling you that's how simple it is. Right because I know a thousand people are real estate licenses
But the people actually do it what happens when you get a real estate license. Okay, you go to work for smith and smith selling homes
Your show three or four homes
It doesn't work out. It's a long it's a 90 day fucking paperwork
You gotta do paperwork nobody just comes in and goes i'll buy this house today
Here's an envelope full of cash
Right. Yeah the next day you get a fucking commission has to go through banks and
So even if you start selling right off the fucking bat
Like let's say now you're moving with paula
And paulus gets an attorney job and off the batch you make 60 grand a year
You tell paula paula listen when we started dating
And you were going to law school. I was paying for all those cheeseburgers and shit
Now you gotta take care of lee
I gotta take care of lee so for a year lee you're gonna go out every day
You know, if you don't sell them for two months, what are you gonna do? You're gonna get a fucking job
And then you're gonna get that job until it takes over your real estate
And then you're never gonna sell real estate again and you're gonna have the excuse that
For what a fucking 10 people I have six out of 10 people. I was too hard
Nobody's buying. No, you didn't you didn't rick viscer
You didn't aid dedicate yourself to it
You know, the reason why comedians get an outside job
Was because I didn't dedicate myself to it, you know that much like that
But there's only so much you could do in the beginning
You know, he's been doing comedy for what four years. He said tommy. I think it's like two years
Yeah, I was doing comedy for six years here
You know, I'm not that late when I got here. I was doing comedy for maybe five six seven years six years
Okay, when I basically got here I was lost
But I booked commercials and that's why I told Tommy Easter today
He'll get yourself a headshot for buck 50
And go and they'll they'll take any lee if you walked in with a headshot tomorrow
That's halfway decent and said you do stand-up comedy
Any of these agents in the valley will take you as a commercial client
Really? Yep
They have nothing to lose
You're non-union
They have nothing to lose
Yeah, why not
But now let's say you go to three auditions and you don't get something fuck this sucks
And you got a job paying houses and I come up to you go. How was the commercial audition now?
You know what I did I went to commercial classes
I never really took a commercial acting class. I'm lying to you, but I took acting classes
After I went to a couple of them and failed I went to an acting class and got serious about it
And that's why I started making money
Yeah, you know
So how do you because I it was really interesting a few minutes ago when you're saying make it work for you
So how do you make like acting work for you?
Okay, if you're if you're 26 27 right now and you live in this fucking town, right?
There's a lot of work for you. Okay, and if you're non-union, there's a lot of work for you
Okay, because they're shooting a lot of non-union shit
That kid from the ice house the bald-headed kid
With the dog that we see walking around and lives across the street there. He's on fire right now
He hasn't stopped working. He shot masters of the universe something else
Something else something else right now. There's a lot of work from
There's a lot of work for that age bracket. You know, that's an interesting age bracket
You know, how many mafia movies they make a year
Two how many times they're gonna call me to be a garbage man or something like that then I'm really
Unless somebody sees me as a co-star or somebody's fucking psychic. I get dick
But a good looking 28, you know with a nice body and shit right now you're getting work, brother, you know, so you got two options
You could either be one of those fucking morons
That goes to the standard every night
and talks about his scenes
Or you could be the guy that stays in every night
It goes over movies
And goes to acting class once a week or twice a week and learns his trade
And just learns how to fucking work. Okay. How do you get to work, Lee?
I drive no you fucking Momo. How do you get to work?
How do you get things in motion? Okay? Oh
Okay, how do you get things in motion? There's no motion going on in your life right now, right? You know what? I think I want to do podcasts
You find out you come up to the comedy store. You come up to Joey Diaz and you go, hey, man
You think I can come in and sit down with you guys one day?
I mean, I'm gonna say no, you're a fucking lunatic
But you never know you never know who you speak to, you know cash is Morris
You may talk to Tom Segur. You may talk to somebody. Okay. And what do you do? You come in here for a few weeks
And you shut up and then we like you and you go listen. What if I brought a fucking $20 bag of weed
guys mind if I come here and
Monday's and Wednesday's to sit here with you
And eventually one day you're gonna say something funny. We're gonna give you a mic
Then you're gonna keep coming you're gonna keep coming
You're gonna keep saying funny as shit
You learn when to talk and when not to talk
You're not gonna be obnoxious and you know what one day we're gonna go just sit in
And there you have it and after six months nine months
Somebody comes to you and go don't
We're gonna give you like fucking 300 a week to come in here twice a week
And all of a sudden you made yourself part of something right
Do you know what I'm saying? Like I learned if you want a job
When I was your age or if I wanted a job in construction
You went out and said let me work for free for a day
If you don't like how I work don't pay me and don't hire me. I'll go home. My feelings won't be hurt
And you work some people do it for a fucking week
Fuck that not a lot of people
How many how many fucking if you let this town intern you to death right how many fucking
Places do you think I guarantee there's places here that'll make you work like a fucking slave
And call you a fucking intern. Yeah, that's the whole you know, I'm fucking not lying. No, that's the whole point
That's the whole fuck and they'll do it with no future
Like there's no way I'm giving you a job right not even in the budget
You'll never be in the budget right
But don't make you come in here and just do it. You know what but there's a way you get a job at that place
If you work harder than the other guy if you do more in that fucking mode you pick a guy in that office and go
You know what I ain't this guy ain't this guy ain't this guy, but I can fuck this motherfucker up right here
Watch me go to work, bitch
Then you earn a job
Yeah, I mean you have to be
Good, but I like what I just meant like
Fuck that's never mind. I was high for a second. That's that's fucked up working for free though. I don't like when you
Do what do you do you think people will still do that?
Fuck yeah, especially this industry
Especially this fucking is I worked on movies where the fucking camera guys should have free the the helpers
That's true learning the fucking trade learning and you look at and go Jesus Christ
But they love it
If this is what you want to do
If you want to be that director if you want to be that type lighting guy if you want to be that type that top editor
Obviously, that's what you got to fucking do it
Because if that's a desire you have
You'll do it
Right. Yeah. I mean when I came here, I was working for free all over the place
But that but then it's hard for my like my type of personality going back to making it work for you
I I don't I would get nervous about going to the places where I work for free and now asking for money
Like it's like that's a fucked up situation to be in
Well before you do it
There also has to be
There's ways to do it
I mean there's ways to do it
And there's ways to come into a place. I use the podcast places like a radio place
I do a lot of guys that got into radio by just showing up at a radio station somebody inviting them in
And then going and sitting and sitting and sitting and one day while i'm talking
They write something on a piece of paper and give it to you
And another week they write something again. That's pretty interesting what this guy writes on a piece of paper and eventually
Boom, you know, john cutler is a friend of mine. Uh-huh him and Amy on facebook and twitter john sends me messages and shit
Sometimes when he sends him from his hotmail they go directly sends him from this fucking phone number. They go through uh
That shit
Yeah, no when when you send the fucking thing to my email
From a phone number. Oh, right. Right. It goes into junk with some shit. So I don't see him till like a year later
But it's funny. He told me a story about how he met jerry garcia
from the grateful dad
That he went to see a gig and he saw jerry walk and he goes hey this thing that you have didn't sound right tonight
Because it didn't he goes, yeah, come on. Let's go take a look at
It's like if I bump into you down the street or you listen to the podcast and I something's wrong with the volume
And I go, let's go take a look at it
All of a sudden debut came france
You know, he started showing up and tuning his guitars and blah blah blah blah blah
And one fucking day he's uh, he I think he's a producer and touch of gray or something holy shit
Yeah, just being being there because that that's the problem with a lot of job
Uh postings online. You always hear people like I don't even think my my resume is getting seen
So like that's if you're if you're there, we've talked about it before but that's the issue
It's uh, you have to create opportunities for yourself and I haven't answered your question
I have not answered your question about the
You have what it takes lead to go out there and start this podcasting
It's gonna be a little sacrifice. It's gonna be a little bit of work, you know
But you could pull this off
The idea we discussed
I think this could franchise
Like as dumb as I've been at listen
Okay, we were talking about something a while ago 20 years ago
When we were talking about boston market, right? Yeah, the lines around boston market
There was 3 000 boston markets, correct? Yeah, I don't know what the amount was i'm uh,
Exaggerating
And all of a sudden after the chicken crazy after the chicken after the $14 chicken frenzy went over
Because pretty soon supermarkets were like $14 for a chicken
We'll sell these motherfuckers for six and that was the end of boston market people said no more about boston market with $14
Because at first what the market would hit you and everybody was like the chicken's delicious
Then once they got everybody caught on then they started giving me those chickens that get kicked and
They kick them in the head and shit those chickens now horrible
You go to boston market now that chicken's depressed as fuck. I haven't been in years
Oh, I gotta go every fucking friday if i'm in town because mercy likes that she likes to mac and cheese from there
She likes the whole experience
She kicks the fucking door and the whole thing so I get stuck with that fucking uh
Chicken cutlets or the chicken or the meat the meatloaf. I had to stop eating. Yeah, that's just a horror show
The fucking pork ribs. I was even I even pulled the leaf and ordered the pork ribs one night
I took a bite on them and then something made me turn them over
It looked like somebody's spray painted them and I was like that's it. I ain't eating this shit no more
I'm surprised you let her eat the mac and cheese. That's my like my least favorite mac and cheese
Listen, I don't even like fucking mac and cheese. How old are we now?
After your fucking 20, you don't eat mac and cheese no more unless now
They got like lobster mac and cheese and you go out to your friends and they dope it up
But you're not gonna eat mac and cheese out of a box. I hope not
With that's two gots cheddar fucking I'd rather eat that than the boston market mac and cheese. Listen. I'd rather not eat none of
I'd rather why can't you avoid all that cancer? It's all cancer. I haven't had mac and cheese in for a while
I can just tell yeah, I could tell you're sad about it. I am I like that purple box auntie and
The whatever
No, your whole fucking entrap a noise shit
Has got uh, just go for it
Go for it cut this shit and go for it
Yeah, I know you first of all you're gonna spend 82 thousand dollars too much. Yeah
Okay, you're gonna go to these places and say hey, you need foot track right now what you need is half and half
Because you don't need foot traffic
Who's gonna be walking down the street going? Oh my god
I'm in the mood to do a podcast right. Yeah
Well, yeah, you're right and it's just it's just a lot of it's money like you
We were talking a while ago and I was getting too sharp tanking and it was like percentages and and I have to write a business
But like it's just it's uh
It's something that I've never done before so I'm scared and I don't I don't run towards it like you do
I run away from it. So it's just I went to a meeting yesterday
And we got to pitch something. Okay, and I've been I've known this kid for a while. He's a
Kid from Newark very interesting kid
And uh, our buddy matt london was there, you know matt london's an interesting cat
And I guess two guys from matt london's office were there, you know, the other two guys are very nice guys and we were talking
And it's weird when
You're trying to sell a show
Okay, because every show and movie you watch
Starts a certain way
But then they do things to it to make it sellable
Right to make it into a movie like if you go into like when whenever I watched the the one with leonardo caprio
And he plays with jack nicole sin the departed
Oh, yeah, I only think that girl was just put in there for a reason like after the movie was written
They put her in there for a love interest. There always has to be a love interest, you know in today's uh television world
Now they're talking about
You have to have enough black people
You have to have enough spanish people you have to have enough asian people on the show
So if you have to have 12 people on the show it has to break down
So it's watchable by the network standards. Did you know that?
So if you come in it leaves white by the end of the fucking pilot leave might be fucking hind them
Because they need a certain amount of indians
Diversity diversity to make a show work
Which I don't like I think the show should come out the way you wanted to fucking write it
You know i'm saying I could care less about the other shit if it calls for a black guy then put the fucking black guy in
If you grew up in an Armenian then write the fucking character Armenian
That's what I feel
But yeah, but they with movies with everything in this town
They just write but they always have to have a female fucking thing in there the whole thing that had the love story
And sometimes it's great, but sometimes it fucking ruins it. I don't know what my point was
What was the fucking point of this fuck? I'm not to be honest. We have to after that last edible
Yeah, I don't fucking know, but
You always have to dress something up to sell it
Right absolutely selling a show and it's crazy at these two guys are a lot more experienced than everybody else at the table
and they were making
Ideas and their ideas were great
But I always knew
To sell this particular show that these gentlemen wanted to sell
It was more of a character driven show
The shows would be sold by the friends to this fucking guy
And the characters of his world his character the characters in this guy's world are beautiful
At the end we asked for notes and that's the note they gave us
the characters
And on the way home I thought about instincts
Like
Sometimes you write stuff as a writer, but sometimes I do stuff by instincts
And sometimes instincts is a lot better
You know let your instincts be natural
With whatever fucking thing you want to do think it over
I gotta be honest with you. I was watching the show named Celia on
Netflix okay about Celia Cruz it's 80 episodes not the best television. I've ever seen in my life. It's not
Academy award-winning, but it's got to do with Cuban stuff. So if I'm not just sitting there
This week. I've just been trying to take the shit out of my head
You know I'm saying trying to take the old jokes out of my head in the old way of thinking
Oh, interesting. So I just want to be a family this week this week. I just wanted to not do anything
Sometimes according to your time, you know, I wouldn't think this way when I was your age
Because I always thought I had to get ahead and kill somebody but now
For me that you know, listen, bro
This started in July and then we had the move and then we had the fucking jiu-jitsu the blue belt and then we had the fucking
You know mercy with this and then we had
Melrose
Austin
New York
oddball
Columbus and Chicago, you know, it's just a lot of shit happened. That was six weeks of planes
There was a lot of shit happening Lee
And I knew two weeks ago. I said once the special is done. I'm done
I'm done for five days. What does that mean? That's why I went to the doctor with my wife
You think I wanted to go to the doctor with my wife today? Are you fucking crazy? Are you fucking retarded?
But every time I go to the doctor my wife is like, I don't not not really like when I go to get blood done
That's just she doesn't go with me
But for the surgeries and stuff my wife is there, you know, even though she made plans she'll go no
I wanted to be here with you
So I went with her today and we went and got I don't know something to eat after I don't even know what the fuck
We went we got a muffin and a coffee or something. We went and got to to look at uh
Ah, what the fuck did we go we went somewhere and then we just went home
And now we went to Jerry's deli. Oh, I got the chicken soup, you know the chicken soup when you're sick
It's a ball soup. Yeah, and I got the chicken and rice and it was fucking that
You want to get a sandwich then you're gonna know that really after I went there with you that time
I was like, I'm not getting no fucking sandwich here. So I just had the bowl of soup
And we both went home went to sleep. I took the whatever Tammy flew and I took a fucking nap too
And on the way I go, why did I go up my wife today? I could have wrote for two hours
No, I needed to do that. I need to get back to normal. I'm a family guy
I'm a part of a family. I'm not only a stand-up comedian
So anyway back to fucking Celia. I'm watching the Celia thing about this Cuban girl. They're talking about dreams
What's her dream and this is opportunity she goes to see this band
And the singer of the band was a popular woman a Puerto Rican woman in a band in Cuba the populous
The biggest band in Cuba. Okay that same night. She finds out she's pregnant
So you already see where the story was going Celia Cruz is a tremendous fucking singer
The only reason they won't let her sing is because she's dark-skinned
Really? Oh, yeah, Cuban was very racist in the 50s and shit them were racist in here those fucking
Motherfuckers, yeah, Cubans are racist motherfuckers dog. So, uh
She kept talking about a dream and I'm like, what you know, yeah, I've had dreams before my dreams are completely
Unfucking
You know when I was a kid my dreams are just stupid like stupid. Why were they stupid because I just wanted to be a
Nothing I wanted to end up being a dude who bought people drinks and pulled up with a Maserati and he was a cool dude
That's garbage. I didn't want to be an astronaut a construction guy or nothing
I wanted to be like Johnny Holly with a son for years until I went to jail in that jolly house
For the jolly house the johnny hollywood image faded fucking fast, you know
But uh, they're talking about dreams of shit and sometimes everything happens
Fast
You know different opportunities you're there at the right place at the right time
You were there you and I were there at the right place at the right time. Yeah, I got a camera from fucking Gabriel
You contacted me. We took films everything worked out very organically. You did it all the right way. You had all the right
instincts so
Go it again. Don't be a fucking pussy. Stop thinking about shit, but
I want you to think about something. Okay, if you and this is the most important thing that people don't do
I want you to break it down from east to west and north to south
You know if you have to get a notebook to break it down as dumb and coked out as I was in 1995 it's called it
It's called like a jefferson clothes or a jackson clothes or a lincoln clothes
Somebody's gonna correct me on this. Will you take a sheet of paper or washington clothes?
Okay, take a sheet of paper and you put a line right down the sheet of paper
Okay, and you write down the positive and the negative and you take that situation and you write down the positive and you write down the negatives
Then you look at them together
And that's what I did before before I left jackie
like
After I went to court in 1995 and went at it with my wife and court and we yelled at each other the whole way to the car
What I then you know, I actually smacked the fucking guy and then
Two weeks later i'm in my fucking apartment thinking, you know, what a fucking my goal of my life. What am I doing?
I'm arguing with these people to see a fucking four-year-old kid that in the end of the day
I'm her father, but I have nothing to offer
Except love and bad fucking advice at this point in my life
That's all I had to offer and I had to be honest
That's the most important thing about those things with the piece of paper
That you have to write that write it down honestly
So you could see it and see how it affects you then a thought and a piece of paper
A written thing on a piece of paper and a thought is two different things Lee
When I write when I tell you a story after I kidnap Bella and we giggle here and you think it's cute
It's cute when I write that story down in hand to you and reading you read it
It's gonna hit you a little differently
It's gonna hit you a little differently. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. It's gonna hit you differently
Fuck how hard is it but it some people like to have inflated views of themselves
If you're doing a pro and columnist like if you have an inflated view yourself or you have an unrealistic fucking view yourself
This is not gonna work because you're never gonna write the truth on that piece of paper
But do you think those people know like what if I have everybody knows everybody fucking knows
You know your shortcomings and you know what you excel at
Everybody fucking knows their shortcomings. Everybody. You know, you got an inch dick. Okay
Only three chicks might know but you know that you got an inch dick. Let's keep it. Do you tell people?
No, you don't fucking tell nobody. Okay. It's the same way with our shortcomings
And we all know what your fucking shortcomings are. That's what pisses me off the most about this
That every fucking step along the way. I looked at myself in that fucking mirror
What it was coked up or not and go this is what I got going on. This is what I don't have going on
Now, what are we gonna do to have it going on with the little we have going on?
Yeah, fuck you do you follow me and I still do this shit
I still do this shit
You know when I talk to somebody about management, for example, and I tell them listen
This is not gonna be me calling you up telling you I want to be on letterman or Leno or
Kimmel, I'm sorry. You're fucking the other dude
Then this is not joey D is calling you up into one in the morning and saying hey
How come I don't have a show on hb up because I understand that
I'm not gonna do that to nobody
I'm gonna hit you up with things that are realistic for my realm
Do you know what I'm saying? I'm never gonna call you if you call me and go joey
There's a new fucking
world pharaoh movie
And the guy opposite him has to be Italian but good-looking
Do you think I'm gonna call I'm gonna try to get on there because I know I'm good-looking. I don't know I know I'm funny
I mean, I'd be good-looking, but the good-looking guys you're looking
I may not be fucking funny or world pharaoh was just insecure and he doesn't want somebody really funny next to
But either way, I'm gonna fucking give it a shot
Right
But so but you're not gonna you're not gonna be
Like upset if you don't like what are you so what are you saying like that, you know
I'll never ask you for something outside my realm. Okay
Okay, whether you're my manager or not. I'm never gonna come to you and go listen
I want 13 episodes on abc about me fucking chicks in the ass. That's not gonna work
I know that's a fucking far fetch for you. I'll tell you what I do expect pretty soon six episodes on the tv show
Is a recurring fucking
Garbage man or a painter or something. That's not out of my realm. I got the resume to cover that do I not?
No, you do this. Okay. Okay. That's what I'm saying to you. I've always been one of those guys
You know, I could call my agents tomorrow and go listen. I'm gonna do a theater tour
Joey about I'll cover it
I want to do a 2,200 seat theater tour
Excuse me and all I re fucking city now. I know that's unrealistic and guess what I wouldn't want to do it
That's a lot of fucking work
but
I'm the type of guy that'll call you and go I can handle fucking six shows in jersey bring it on
Okay, I'll never you know, I know what I could cover and what you can't cover
And that's the most important thing about yourself in every fucking level of this game
as young comics
We'll say we could cover something even if we can't cover it. Amen. I need a 20 minute spot. You got 20 minutes
Yeah, you really got 12 and that's fucking stretching it. That's talking like you're half retarded like you're hitting the head with a brick
my
name
is
We
That's 12 minutes. You know what I'm saying, right? Yeah, and we all lie about little things like that. I lied about all that shit
Yeah, you have you got 20 minutes. I got 20 minutes. You only got fucking 13
And that's what a fucking rocking your pocket. You don't have 20 if something interesting happens or something like that
Why are you looking at me like I brought 20 bucks on me?
Maybe you did. I don't know. No, I was I'm this is uh
Do the I'm just trying to relate back to what you said. Do you know your uh shortcomings now because of failures?
Like it because of saying yes when you shouldn't have said yes. Listen, man
By the time you're fucking 25
You have a good idea
You're not gonna come to me and go joey. You know what I'm quitting the podcast game
To become an automobile mechanic
Those words will never come out of my mouth
no
No
but
You're gonna say shit that you're gonna want to do when I was snorting all that coke and shit
I was looking for a fucking life. Do you think I was sitting there? I gotta straighten out my underwear. Okay
Do you think I was fucking sitting there?
Going I want to be a fucking flight attendant or something like that. No, do you think I was telling people? No
No
And that's the problem you have especially here
You have these people call it to you. I'm a director
Not in my fucking world. You're not bitch
Not in my fucking world. You're not just because they sell a camera for 899 at fucking true valley
Doesn't mean you're a fucking director. No, let me see your fucking worker
Well, I did a flick in college at a one second place and then me and my friend shot a short
Come to me after you do four years behind fucking tarantino holding away
Right so yeah, you have to have experience absolutely
And it happens with everything it happens with
With comedians who you've seen
Like go up and and like isn't that the thing people always get mad at like tv sitcom actors for trying to do stand up
Sometimes
Like sat on that live guys or something trying to do stand up when they've been doing improv and they go in there
Listen, man. I'm real part. I'm real part proud of that guy from fucking
Those dudes that jumped off buildings or shit. Oh stevo
stevo still had it and he loves it and he still fucking does shows and
You know, you got to give him all the respect in the world because he stuck with it
This wasn't a pipe dream from his age and go. Hey if you need money
Put together 45 minutes and go out there and bore fucking people to death
And tell him about your fucking uh, how much money you make and tell him about your tv show and how you hate it
Working with your co-star do that for 45 minutes. I'll get you 10,000 a week
And they'll do it for six weeks and you'll never hear from them again
stevo at least stuck it out stevo was the real dude got a showtime special and everything and fuck around stevo
So you got a hand into him there, right? He's not it's not like the charlie sheen tour that ended after like three weeks
Some people walking out
Only you got the world by the balls and everybody who listens to this show
You have the fucking world by the balls and a lot of us don't even know it. I didn't know it for a long time
For 10 years, I walked around out here not knowing what was going on
I was doing stand-up and I was doing some work
But I wasn't doing what I should have been fucking doing if I should have been doing what I should have been doing
You and I would have been in a different realm right now, but you move on you live in your fucking learn
Yeah, you know what you you know what you're strong at these things. I would never ask you to do lee
There's things I would never ask you to do but then like we did the documentary. Mm-hmm
I knew you could pull that off a fucking moron could it's not an academy award when we're not going for an academy award
Well, we're just showing them little fucking scenes and you're an editor
You shoot the camera you press the button
And you put it together
The best that you can do it
That's it. I knew you could do that
Would we shoot a fucking movie would I use your fuck? No, no, yeah
Like if we somebody gave us $300,000 like oh, at least I asked on directing
Director from Israel. No, I'd be shooting myself in the foot. How dare you?
You know, I'd be giving you 10 grand right here 30 to make money on the fucking deal and the 40 should go to a real fucking director
Absolutely, you know, and that's how I like to do it. When I look at whenever I do any of this dumb shit
I don't fucking just do it. I go to the expert and I learn how to fuck to do it
I'll pay the fucking ten dollars and they teach you how to do this correctly
So I don't have to come back at this shit later on
Right, if you don't do it right the fucking now then later on I could do this
This shit you could do and this shit you can't do
I told you a thousand times today
I could quit fucking comedy
Right now quick comedy
Quit this fucking podcast
And go to a company and go listen
I want your social media
And if your company does a podcast, I want to be a part of it
And this is what I could do. This is how I'm gonna do it. I could do that right now
With the experience I've gained the last six years fucking around with you and social media
And iTunes and learning the the fucking trends and when to tweet when not to tweet I could do this right now
Oh, absolutely. Did somebody teach me this? Fuck no. Could somebody teach me this? Fuck no
I did it
You learned yourself. I learned by trial and fucking error
I learned doing little fucking things saying loot things on twits and shit like that
That nobody else is saying but guess what they were looking at my tweets stupid
And that's the point of this fucking game. You dumb motherfucker
So meanwhile you want to be Joe christian
Will your safe little fucking tweet you ain't getting nowhere
You ain't getting nowhere
Is that tweet what I when I put a tweet out there about eating mrs. Obama's asshole
With that black ink on her ass. Do you think I mean that shit?
No, but it got your motherfucking attention the next tweet I put after that you will see it
Yeah, absolutely, you will see it. That's such a right hand over the top
You will see the fall that's such a great left jab that you you'll see that right coming over the fucking top
So that's
That makes no sense. You don't want to see the right coming over the top, but
You see it, you know, and I learned this I think that people went to college for four years
And they're running these big corporations would disagree with me
I beg to fucking differ right now
If I had a product right now, I'd be having videos
I
I pulled my television budgeting to half
And just go on a youtube interviewing thing and hire great social media people with my emphasis on instagram
And hire a comedic writer to write on the tweet and spend that money instead on that to get business
Anything would be everybody's on the fucking computer. Yeah
And with all the tv there is all the rocu we speed through all that commercial now commercials are dead
And tv knows this it's a matter of fucking years
It's dead, but here's the fucked up thing
we've we've been
Praying for years for like pay but as you go channels and now cbs and all those people have pay as you go apps
So we're even they're getting I guarantee in a few years are gonna get rid of the free like cbs and the NBC and all that stuff
but it's uh
I think I think you could I think there's a lot of people who have like social media expert jobs
Now and they don't know what the fuck they're doing not at all not a clue
I'll challenge them all because
What you could do on twitter is completely different than what you do on instagram and facebook
It's all different audiences. It's not so
You follow me you could be a little bit more risque with your product on one than the other
And nobody would know the difference
People would say do you see that ad for fucking joey dears is bullwash
Let me give some fucking shout outs here paul lynch my man the lalingas family
Out of chicago who I love uki spooky
Will cook ray majewski
Dante gazini that letter writing fucking
savage
bobby and crystal the queen down there in austin texas always and my main man mikey stein
One by one podcast put shoot motherfuckers down
One by one, you know
That word you use in tropa null
The reason why I fucking hate that word is because it scares people
Okay, you know what a tropa null means
Work hard for yourself
That's all that means
Work hard for yourself
One of the most interesting fucking guys I met
Out here
The last 10 years was a dude. I don't see no more. His name was bob
And bob was a dude that was clean and sober
But bob has an interesting fucking story. Okay, bob was on drugs smoke crack
Didn't have no teeth
You know
And I think when he was 50 he decided to get his life together
And the rehab they put him in the the program he got into
Was like
An hour away from where he got a job
So he had to take a bus there
So he would take a bus every fucking day there
Every day a bus there and back and he went from making eight bucks an hour to 12
To 16 then he became a closer and he was selling
duct tape
On the phone duct tape
And he became one of the top closers
40,000 he is 60,000 he had to game his own office
You know, this is like a rags to riches story. Get the better
He quit the fucking company and then opened up his own tape company
And his garage in his 50s and his 50s by this time he was like 57
58
And he was selling tape out of his fucking garage
On the phone just fucking selling. He's an entrepreneur, right? Yeah, absolutely. He got sick and tired for working for somebody
So he he took his garage
And he got a phone line out there and he started calling people and sending boxes out of that
He started doing so well and the neighbors started complaining because of all the
Shipments of tape that he was getting put with high lows and shit in front of his house
For two or three days and getting sent out
So he had no credit from all those years of being a crack hoe
So the landlord would only rent him the space if he came up with a hundred grand cash
Like a certified check
So he made a 10,000 now deposit
And he told the guy he would be back in 90 days and for 90 days he made a hundred fucking grand
Oh, and he went back and he got into the office for a fucking year this little warehouse
And then he went to work make a long story short fucking 3 m bought him out one of those tape companies bought him out
And they gave him like six million dollars eight million dollars
I went to his house. They shot a movie up there like a short film
And I played one of the guys and I went up there and the fucking house is beautiful
Everything the guy had changed his life. He showed me all his fucking
Paperwork from all those years and stuff from tape Jesus dog tape
All right, now he was in a trap. I knew
You know, so you do what you do and you handle it like
They just put such a big fucking fear into people
Yeah, that they can't do anything and you know what you learn as you go along
And you make it work for you
This comedy shit
I went as I went along
And I learned from people like bobby slate and jimmy shuber and joe roug and callers mid sea
And I watched what they did on the road. I watched what gabriel does on the road today
I watched what sebastian does on the road
And they all do something that works for you and you take that ideology, you know I'm saying right when I first met rogan
We all got on a plane there and we all got on a plane back and that was great
But one day I started thinking about it
I'm like first of all why are we going into the night before?
Like we would let's say we had to be there Wednesday at eight for this first show
We would leave here Tuesday night at one in the fucking afternoon to get there at six for dinner
rent a car
That's another hour at the fucking airport get to the hotel with four of us
Get upstairs, you know, it was just so much fucking and you don't know you're just having a good time
But then you're like wait a second something has to be done here. All right, let's get rid of that Tuesday night flight
Okay, let's get rid of that Tuesday night flight. Let's take the wednesday fucking early in the morning one more day at home
okay
We started taking that flight
That started working and then on sundays instead of getting up at ten hung over and having a breakfast
And going to the airport at two
Then your flight's delayed till four forty
Then you get into lax at fucking eight o'clock at night. Have you ever landed on lax at eight o'clock at night?
Jesus fucking christ and your luggage isn't coming for 45 fucking minutes
So guess what that whole day of that day of flying became the whole day
One day you look at yourself and you know, you know what what happens if I leave on the first line
And you get the lax and it's ten and it's empty and there's cabs and people are waving
And the 405 is empty. Wow. I just saved you know what I'm saying Lee
You just learned little tricks along the way
For years they told you gotta stay at that hotel there
And it's 30 minutes from the hotel from the club and one day you realize fuck you you're paying for that hotel
A rate give me the rate. Let me find my own hotel
And there's a hotel right around the corner from the club that has breakfast in it for free
And they give you a shuttle ride to the airport and you can walk to the comedy club
You can leave the fucking comp you can leave your content
You can leave the hotel at quarter the fucking eight and get to the comedy club by 10 to eight
You learn all these things
You learn all these things you learn about you know, how to make your life easier
We went on the flight last week. You're right on the way down there. The guy made us pay for both luck
He charged you for your luggage now. I'm platinum even if I don't fly first class
I get two bags for free the chick charged you right. Yeah, she did on the way back
We both gave the guys the IDs
And I gave him a $20 on the fucking bill and what did he do? He turned he turned it back
He fuck no
He took your bag didn't charge us the 25 right here when he came back. I said give him the 20 difference
He would have made 40 on us and he remember us forever. He didn't take your 20
Oh, I didn't know you gave him a 20 too. Okay, I think you're dealing. Oh, yeah, he didn't take my 20
No, I gave him a 20 for me. Oh
But he I gave him a 20 for me and gave him both fucking IDs
Oh
Okay, no, you and paula would have walked in and stood online like mama luke's for an hour and a half in gunner security
Not anymore. No now you see that a 20 and that's it. You move like a fucking soldier through that airport
You're following me
Yeah, did I know that when I was first flying? No, I'd stand in the airport with the other assholes and tap my knees against each other
For the extra 20 you fucking go right up the gate and bam you walk in like a doctor
And I bet there's a lot of people who don't even pay the extra 20 for that
They probably stiff them no
Now there's a lot of people giving five bucks a 10 that works too
But you know, I want that there's a black dude at county airport that walks you through security
Did you know that he walks you past the fucking line?
Is it to the front right there? He goes, what's up? Jerry? This is my dog joey get in there
A 20 bucks that's all it costs is 20 bucks 20 bucks
I would totally do that. He gets you checks your bag and it goes come on
And he walks you right to the front of the fucking line. He cuts everybody off like a storeless
You've been on the line the fucking store this walks and she cuts right in front of you. Oh, yeah
He cuts right in front of you and do people get pissed off at you who gives a fuck
Who gives a fuck i'm walking in with this six with four fucking black dude
What do you got to offer you know what i'm saying?
I remember when I cut the line on the way to fucking wasn't chicago, I think
Oh, yeah, you got right in the line. Nobody says shit. No, they said something
Who said the
The stewardess or the gate agent and like a woman behind me because you
You feel like we were together and I was high and I turned around and they called
They must have called your thing and you just took off
And I froze for a second. Well, I don't play games. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then you tried then you did color off
That's right. Yeah, I turned around. I said he was with me
I said, we're flying together
Jesus christ, you just took off
I I think the most important thing why did this podcast?
One of the things I wanted to get out there was that
The society one of the biggest
Besides your family, you know your family always supports you your friends don't support you they break your balls about whatever you want to do
but
Everything else points to you for failure
And if I would have believed any of that failure, I would have done nothing with my life
Nothing with my life. I never believed it
I never believed it
Just how a carpenter gets better by overcoming objections and
You know a plumber gets better an electrician comes in and goes, oh my god, I didn't know about this wall before we put the bin in
All that shit that experience I think that
We have that
But at times we're scared to fucking use it
the pot the the purpose of this podcast was to
Prove to people that were lying to us in every single aspect
From going to college to try to better to get off drugs
To do something with your life once you get off prison
To go for something you believed in when I first saw the sides for the longest you're out. I didn't give a fuck. I was getting that moving
Even if I had to kill whoever got it the week before run them all with a car on the Wolfson Boulevard like Tupac
Or biggie
That was it. I knew I was getting this fucking movie
That was Italy in my mind. I'm like, I'm getting this shit
So this is what this podcast is about it's not on anything fucking else
It's about letting you know that you want to be an entrapment now
Well, the troponua whatever the fuck either word is right. I don't like you could do it
I don't give a fuck what objection they tell you
Your job is to find the way
Plain and fucking simple just find the fucking way
You know, I wasn't ready for LA when I came here
I'll tell I'll tell everybody on this fucking podcast as a comedian as a human being
I wasn't ready for LA when I got here, but I stepped up once I got here
Once I got here something made me get into the comedy store in these other places
And I was on the drugs for a long time, but I kept
Moving I kept moving. I didn't let the drugs take me down. The drugs were part of who I was
It wasn't who I was. Do you know what I'm saying? I wasn't at home shooting and hanging out with degenerates. I was just a closet fucking
Functioning addict as they call it. I guess that's all he's a functioning addict
What that means is I snorted coke and still slung dick. Okay, that's what that fucking meant
So, uh, that's it. That's it. That's that that's what the podcast is about
Yeah, because they do they do they scare you they make everything so hard and make everything so expensive whether it's in college
Whether it's in life. There's always people telling you that it's gonna be tough to the decision you're gonna make and you know what man
It's as tough as you fucking let it
Your mind overcomes all that shit. You look at it just another fucking day to do in business
It's so weirdly you just look at it. It's just another day of doing fucking business. So
It was tough for me
It was tough for me in seattle in that fucking office. I slept in and shut out the window
It was tough for me when I first got here. I lived with stand-hope
You know, I lived with a girl in the fucking trailer
But I knew it was what I wanted to do
And I knew it was all I had and I had to go for it
I didn't have time to dick around the last thing I wanted to do was fucking fail and have to go back to jersey
Or bolder and say I try to lie you have to be a gay guy to live there and suck people's dick
No, you know
You just got to get up in the fucking morning and go for it
And there's got to be no wasting your fucking day and everything that you're gonna do has to be worth it from A to Z
There's no wasting your day
Regardless of what's going on
That's the other thing that we fall for that's where the consistency comes in
That you don't give a fuck what's going on. This is what you're doing today
This is what i'm doing today. I don't know what you're talking about
I gotta take it through a dodge again. I don't know what you're talking about
This is what we have to do to that. It's 100 percent. It's 100 degrees. I thought we could go to the beach. I don't know what you're talking about
I don't know what you're talking about. I got an agenda
And this is what I need to do every fucking day to get to where I need to go. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about
Who told you that whatever this is what I do
It's so weird. That's the hardest thing and that goes for girlfriends friends
Family members, you know your mom calls
Highly it's mom
I'm gonna come out there wednesday the 21st to and you're like mom. Look at my book. It's not a good time
You could stay here, but I can't go to politically correct with you
I can't go eat with you know and they they they look at you wrong
But you explain to them and you tell them the truth
It's not like you're banging some chicken the ass and you're hanging out with somebody else. It's the truth
And you find you know, you take two hours from one day you get up two hours earlier and you sacrifice these are the things that
And dog it killed my relationship with the stripper
Because her family would always come out here. I didn't give a fuck about a family had nothing to do with me
It had nothing to do with me. You're eating. Yeah, and she's one of those people likes to have dinner parties
And tell people, you know, let's meet at a restaurant and you got to sit there for two hours at a restaurant talking shit
You know me we we get the fuck out of there right or wrong
It was the last time we learned to the fucking restaurant never we're eating the dessert
The guys already got our credit card like we're out of here
I don't want to fucking sit there and talk like we're friends and shit made hours
Ain't nothing to talk about so I couldn't live like that. She got pissed off at me
That's why we broke up. That was one of the reasons really how it towards the end of it
Oh, and if you ask terry well next time being you and terry together and we'll put together we'll go
Tom on his first four years
I didn't give a fuck
This is what I do. We don't have time to fuck around
You want a life? I want a life. You think we we fuck around. We're gonna have a life. Hey there. What do you think houses cost?
Cars, what do you think fucking all this shit costs money?
We got this is what you need right to have a good time for us to have a good time
We need cash, but let's do this. Let's sacrifice two fucking years
Don't come home
Work to your face is fucking purple
Saturdays get in there work for overtime. I don't give a fuck
And you sacrifice for one or two years and all that shit you want eventually you can have
And that's at any fucking level and that's what I did with comedy. I didn't give a fuck about your party
In those when I first got here, you know till this day. I've never gone through a josh will family party
Really? Yeah, because I always had them on saturdays at 10 if you're a tom, you're working saturday at 10
I got no time to go to your fucking family reunion. Nothing like that. I never had time for none of that shit
I just talked to the fucking girl about the wedding in jersey
I just put the the cards on the table like last week. We had a nice talk and she understands
And she goes I know I know you're fucking busy. I got no time to fucking
Sit there from wednesday to saturday commiserating at a wedding. Are you fucking crazy?
No, I would lose my fucking mind if I had to do something like that. You killed them by the thursday
You killed them by like thursday or friday. I killed myself
