I'm you know what I keep on getting warned about this show
Over and that's the one thing I've gotten is like listen to me
Don't have anything to do after the show make sure your flights not too early the next day
Don't drink the water cuz Joey might put acid in it. There's all of these we can't find the acid
We got rid of my mistake. I don't think so. I think you put it in some waters
It's like the Willy Wonka ticket, but you just put some acid in some random like seven fucking hits
One of these bottles of water no, it's probably under one of those couches
I hit it and I can't remember where the fuck I hit it because we did it we got paranoid
So it's on one of the album covers. It's here though. Yeah one day somebody's gonna be very happy
I was moving furniture one time with Dave Smith
we used to be roommates he's a comedian and one of my co some other podcasts and
he
we were moving our couch and
As we're moving it on the day we're moving a bag of cocaine fell out of the couch like probably like, you know
like an eight ball
It was me and our buddy Wes and we all saw we saw it fall on the floor
We all paused for exactly one second and then we dove for it all three of us and we wrestled around on the floor
Until one of us finally got it
And then what we just shared it, but we did a one we did a line each immediately
And then we felt guilty because we didn't really do cocaine
It was a buddy of ours our drug dealer friend Jablonsky
He would fucking come over with like tons of drugs all the time and I he accidentally dropped it on our couch
It was like a year old
So then we felt guilty and then we ended up flushing it down the toilet the rest of it should have sold it
Yeah, at least split 60 a piece something. I mean, how would we have sold it?
I don't know there's some fucking buddy in the comedy club that'll give you 50 bucks
Yeah, but it's not it's not enough if it was like a big bag of cocaine. There's no way we were to flush it would be like
All right, let's fucking three grams. Somebody would give you 50 bucks for it
Yeah, but I would have to go out and fucking be hawking weed at comedy club
Oh, I wasn't do I wasn't doing comedy you have one friend that does coke
Everybody has one creepy friend that does coke. Just call them on. I got a deal of a century
I think I have one friend that doesn't do coke. Yeah, so you call that don't call him
Call everybody else and whoever gets here first has a deal of a century bring 50 bucks
And watch them come over. It's fucking crazy. I found the bag of coke once I thought it was like meeting God
You know I'm saying like I rather find you you have more chances of finding money
Yeah, and finding like two grams of fucking blow like you go to 7-eleven. That's what was yeah
It was ten years ago at the curse on 7-eleven out and the fucked up thing you remember the day
Oh my god, I went in there and I went in there the other day
They had the audacity put the lightest back out
You used to have NFL lightest I used to clip to a fucking pop right in front of them while I was paying they looked down
I take two and hold on is this recently
No, this is ten years ago
But they put the lightest back this week because I went in there Tuesday. Yeah, and I said, oh shit
They got the lightest back. I was ready to clip one. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I fuck around at this point a game
I don't you just kind of wanted to because I do that sometimes just to test my ability still
Oh, if I could just like my cousin
Just for no reason I do it all the time for stupid shit like I was I was the other day
I was with my chick and we were at right aid and there's like nail polishes
Like up at the front thing
So for no reason right in front of the check as I'm paying I grab one of the nail polish is put it under my hand
I say it's I'm palming it
That's all I'm doing not a big deal putting it in your hand like you're reaching for money
Just nothing and you drop the fucking thing and you take out the wall and they look at you like
No, he didn't have no nail polish in nice and simple put it in my fucking crazy. It's like Houdini. I walk outside
Give it a her as a nice little gift, you know, and I'm being funny, which is so I was she doesn't want nail polish
There's nothing but for some reason I still want to be able to test my ability to see if I could do that
And I could I still do it. I still that's a terrible fucking. I don't shop with like bags of chips
I got an addiction for just like this
Just lighters if you're dumb enough to put a lighter in front of me
I'll take the space I go to the 7-Eleven. I go to has little lighters out
They even put like when they overflowed on lighters, they put they put them sideways
Yeah, which is like an invitation for a sucker like me, but I like them so much if I asked them to lie
They probably give it to me. So why rob them, you know, yeah
I I'm notorious at stealing people's lighters like in life by mistake. Yeah, yeah
Stake on purpose not on purpose. I don't care enough to give it back to him
You go out with a green light you come home with a white lighter. Yeah, and it's filled and you're like, who the fuck took my
Well, at least I came home with a fucking light. Yeah, that's the magic of weed
That's why there you are connected with weed sometimes because sometimes you go out with a red lighter
And you come home with a green light and you're like, what the fuck?
I didn't lose anything. Maybe a little bit of fucking butane. You know, so you're looking pale over that dog
I haven't seen you this panel since the first time you did kettlebells. I'm just thinking about
Having so much coke that you don't realize you dropped an eight ball. I've I've never found
Drug that I couldn't imagine you're fucked up losing draw. You're fucked up. You're going through your pockets
You know, you got an eight ball in there. You got a gram for later
You got three pills in there. You got cash. You got weed. You got rolling papers
You got a liner. You got a wallet and it's all in there and you take it out all night because you're paranoid
All night. You're like, was that coke and one time we go for the coke the three ecstasy pills will fall out
Oh, yeah, you gotta take money out of your pocket. Yeah, it happens man
Yeah, you know, I've dropped coke on a fucking couch or or the move was
You're doing it in the bathroom. You put it down on the the thing in the bathroom
And you forget you put it down and you leave and that's it then the next dude is taking a shit
Just as rock and roll you said that because I was just thinking about this Chinese restaurant
I used to deliver food from deliver coke for
And they had like a bad that like two bathrooms for customers
Then they had a bathroom for Chinese people only where they
Then they had another bathroom for the women in the back
But if you went back back back in the storage room that little bathroom with a little look like a closet
Yeah, it was just a toilet in the sink
And I would go in there and weigh the coke and I would put the coke on the toilet
It was white and I would put the coke on the toilet and do a couple lines and get ready to deliver Chinese food
And one night I must have been in the rush. I came in two days later way coke and there was a line this big on that fucking thing
That unless you have a train die. Yeah, you're not gonna see that. Wow unless you have a cocaine train
You fucking I and nobody had the drugs. They smoked pot from time to time. So, you know, what's up Lee?
Well, you guys were talking earlier about and I only did it once flying with weed and I'm the only time I did it I
Had some edibles I was flying home and I got to paranoid
Look, you've always talked about how you just put it underneath the plane
Like you like before when you were you still going back and forth between Colorado and New York
I was too nervous. I was like, I don't want to get there and then have them take my luggage
So I brought it in my backpack
But this is the only time this has ever happened that TSA brought a second a separate like
Scanner to the gate and they were scanning random people at the gate. I was I couldn't have been more scared
That's an inhale you're right there. Oh my god, and then I got and then I thought about you
I got pulled over today. And like I just I
Just I was so happy. I wasn't stoned or I've never been have you been pulled over stone? Oh, it's horrible. Oh
You start fucking mumbling and stumbling. I was doing that was the one thing that I liked about stopping smoking weed
It was like six months that I didn't smoke weed like and you and I forgot
But like I used to always have weed on me and New York City
It's you know, it's gotten a little better, but like it's not Callie do Callie you guys are fucking like partying out here
It is like you don't even get it dude. You go to fucking New York City
Oh, that was a political I lit up one time and 20 people looked at me like I was a Martian
Yeah, it's right by opening Anthony right down at night in the morning
I took a joint out and fucking people looking at me even in Jersey when I'm an edge water
I go outside and snow like that Cal Cali
It's like you guys don't know how good you have it if you haven't been to New York
If you go to New York City, you are it's like you're doing heroin
I'm assuming if you did heroin on the streets of California
It's how people look at you if you're smoking weed in New York said that let me tell you something, okay? I
Was in New York City since 19 fucking 66
you know
As a kid my mom took me to see the home globe trial is 40 seconds. I went everywhere and
There was a time in New York City. This is how New York how much New York has changed
Okay, there was a time in New York City when I was a child maybe six
From the age of six to maybe 11 and I'm not exaggerating it. I
Spent my time with an 88th Street in Broadway. That's why I went to school ps. 166
But on the weekends, I would go to my godmother's and 148th
In the late in the mid 70s, and this is no exaggeration
Ask your dad or your uncles or somebody who remembers the 70s in New York
You'd see a fucking heroin dude nodding every four minutes. I used to see it in New York
Okay, and I mean they were everywhere. Yeah, it was infested the upper the upper west side
I was wasn't a big Upper East East side guy. So I can't tell you yeah
I used to go to hundred and sixteenth and third like by the park to get coke from my mom's friend
But that was later on in life nothing
Heroin was everywhere. That's what you saw
From 107th Street all the way to 178th Street from Port Authority
They would nod as the light was changing mr. Gomez nod and when the light would change
They would walk across the street and nod again. Yeah, you would never it's like walking dead
That's what it was. You saw two walking dead people on every fucking block
But downtown New York all those other West side up the you know eat the Avenue
You would snuggle weed all the time when I was yeah
42nd Street would wreak a fucking weed nobody ever said none wreak a weed
When you made the right onto and you saw that thing spinning with the news the ticker
And you made the the left onto Broadway whatever that is that would all that would be a drug dealer. Hell. Yeah, that was all drug dealers
Then the 80s came and the early 80s
You could do blow anyway in New York. Yeah
Any club you went to if you went into the woman's bathroom
There was four or five people doing blow women wouldn't even say nothing
Women wouldn't even say nothing. It was that open
I left New York in 85 and cocaine was wide open. You could be at a bar
In Manhattan and take a package out and do this and nobody would look at you
Nobody would look at you weird because that yuppie
Mentality hadn't hit yet. Well now it's an elitist alley. It's so fucking expensive
Right. It's so expensive to live in New York now that it's like, you know
It's
You know, it's become this like and with weed it's changing a little I'll say it is changing
Okay, because you'll smell weed in the air now
If you go to certain areas, you go to the west village down by the comedy cellar
You'll see people smoking weed. It's a it's a it's a little hit
But not on 89th street. You won't no, no, you are the joint by the stand
Like I've been by the stand. I'm gonna join by the stand. I got arrested outside of the stand
I can't go to fucking canada because of getting arrested outside of the stand the fuck you think i'm talking about
That's the upper west, right? That's 20. No, that's uh, it's uh, Gramercy, but yeah
Yes, are you kidding me? That was heroinville when I was a kid. Yeah
Well, yeah, needle's park i did i did madison. I did not know that you got arrested outside the stand
I did but i'm by this for smoking weed. Yeah. Well, here's the thing, right? Yeah, that's the point
I told you this is why I I like this what i was saying before
I when I stopped smoking weed. Yeah for two two stars guys two stars. I can't speak anymore. Okay, um
so uh, no, but when I uh
When I wasn't smoking weed I was walking around
And you'd walk past the cop and I was so used to being fearful because I always had weed in my pocket
And now that I didn't have weed in my pocket
It was like a breath of fresh air like I wasn't committing a crime at all time
So cops weren't making me as nervous, you know what i'm saying?
But if there was a cop that I just literally was coming come in like 10 feet with I would get nervous
I think it smelled on me and it's not like you go to fucking prison for smoking weed in new york city
But it fucks up your night
It'll fuck up your weekend if you get caught on a friday
If you get caught someone's going to join on a friday night, you'll spend the weekend in jail weekend in jail until monday
It fucking sucks and that's all it is it sucks
But if in canada the rules are to get in that country you can't get in now
I I can but I got to pay a few hundred dollars a year and it's up to them
They could deny me the license. It's a whole bunch of bullshit that I have to go through now just to get to canada
just crazy
Now let me ask you this because a friend of mine said he went to
David gilmore at the garden. He had really good seats
And somebody a little joined up and they looked at him like fucking he was like I can't do it at the garden
You do the vape pen
I don't want to smoke a fucking vape pen
I want to smoke a vape pen like I want to dick in my ass. I want to smoke a fucking vape pen
What are you fucking crazy?
That's that's that's what I don't understand
I think that is very dainty. I used to get out. It's like the fucking cigarettes that women would smoke in the 40s
The like the long fuck it up relative old ones. Yeah
That's what vape pens are in 94. I used to work on 11th avenue when they sell all the cars down there
Yeah, okay, and I used to get out of
Manhattan gp go only 40s
It's 57 56. There's a diner on the corner there and a hot dog man
I used to get off at work at 9 7 30 sometimes 6 30
And I remember walking up 57th street by the cbs building and shit and dog
As soon as I walked out of that building. I was it's 1994. That's 22 years ago. I was in my 30s
I'd walk out of there. I'd make a left on
11th avenue the street would be pretty empty until I hit 57th. I started walking up. Yeah, as soon as I hit 57th
I lit I sparked up. Yeah, I remember standing in front of that David Letterman building sparking like smoking because it was too cold
I didn't want to walk
And nobody said dick nobody looked at their head. Well, that's the problem with like me like I'm addicted like that
And that's the problem and I've been arrested for smoking weed like 10 times
like
It's like people that smoke weed don't do that like I do it to the point where
I if I'm going somewhere
And I know that I'm going to be like on a road trip for a while and I can't smoke like I'll make them pull over
And like fucking stop at a rest stop. Yeah, like every time like I'm like I'm it's like an addiction
That's where that's where it's not a good thing where I literally need it every single day in the morning
You know, I don't need alcohol
Yeah, I could stay off coke for a few days, but I would never have to do it the daytime
This is my fucking drug. Yeah, since the time I was 12
First time I smoked it. I knew it was me. Yeah, same thing. I knew it was me
Alcohol for me is something that
Was something I did with other drugs, you know, but it's not something that I'm gonna go into a bar and get a beer
I wish I could be one of those guys. I grew up in the 70s where
TV shows when you walked into a guy's apartment, he just turned around and poured you a whiskey and gave it to you
Yeah, you didn't say was that southern comfort and that you just drank the fucking thing. Yeah
So
I always I always wanted to be that guy that could drink like can't drink
Yeah, I was drinking whiskey every night for the past fucking like eight years almost
Probably killing myself like really like just fucking my body up because at comedy clubs, we don't pay for alcohol
so i'm drinking for free every night
and
You know for I just stopped drinking a year. It's it'll be January 22nd. It'll be a year
I don't I don't look at it as even being a big deal. I don't understand like it's not hard for me
So I'm unapplauding myself. I'm not one of these people that's gonna post it on facebook and be like, oh look at what I did
Who gives a shit? I'll probably make a stupid joke about it
but
It's weed is hard every day. It was a struggle when I was not smoking weed every single day when I got locked up
I did that was the hardest part of getting locked up really
The thought of going to prison for me because when I went to boulder county
For those three weeks and waited for my bail to get reduced. They were smoking weed in there. There's no drug testing that
Yeah, people getting arrested and tucking weed in their ass home bringing it in
And you know what man?
Like they would charge you $10 for a joint or something with $10
Even now if you go to just the tombs for the weekend or the night in new york city
It's it was like this is a while ago
But it was a man. I think it was like 20 or 30 bucks for a joint and it was a little tiny pin or a
Dude as as small as it could be. I mean you have no idea dude
Crazy and we bought it dude me and another guy bought it. Yeah, that's it done three hits
But it was great. It was glorious dude to be high in jail. It's like in jail or fucking the best
I don't smoke cigarettes. I didn't smoke cigarettes when I went to prison. I didn't even in 87
I didn't even dream of smoking cigarettes and that wasn't even I couldn't even get in your car if you smoked
No, I'm also comparing my night in central bookings to your time in prison. No, no
I believe the tombs go you gotta let people know it ain't no fucking joke. It's like fucking
The Wu-Tang clan
People are trying to prove themselves. It sucks. It's not fun
You might get killed at the tombs because you might run into a guy who don't give a fuck Lee
He don't give a fuck. He's already got a murder. Well, they mix in guys
People in smoking weed you have no fucking idea
You'll see an nyu get do the guy like you
If you went to and smoke to join in washington square park
Which is a famous place that people just get popped all the time for smoking weed, right?
And that would be a place that you would go because it seems like a place
It's pretty safe. It seems like a cool if you go look at look up washington square park
Look at pictures. It's a cool place to hang out. They got cool architecture
They have all those like fucking arches and shit
Smoking a joint out there. It's like a trap because it's it's the perfect place to smoke a joint
But they got undercover cops all over
David Lee Roth got arrested there for buying weed
I knew it was the end of civilization
You know in the fucking again and you guys i'm talking to you like a dinosaur in new york
This is why when I go to new york now, it's very nice and all but it's not the place where I grew up in
Yeah, I don't know these people these people see walking around new york wouldn't have walked around new york 30 years ago
Yeah, those people you see walking around giggling on their phones
That wouldn't have been I've been in new york since 2001 right after 9 11
I'm over there and even in the time that I've been there, which is like 16 17 years
It's it's changed so dramatically my first apartment in new york city
Or I'll say let's let's say my second apartment because it's more dramatic was a top floor downtown brooklyn once up in
downtown brooklyn top floor of a
Building floor through 15 foot high ceiling central air
The elevator came into the kitchen brand new kitchen washer dryer how much 1250 a month
And what is it now? I don't know about six grand seven grand easy. I mean it's crazy
The apartment was not so it was 14 under square feet. I had a drum set in there. It was crazy
We had a ping-pong table
It's so
They've uh, I went to where I grew up. I went to 80 a street and showed my wife and the baby
Those people would melt if they were there when I was growing up. There's like a fucking gels
It's like beautiful. It's beautiful 80 a tree. It's like you gotta see it
And I went over there. They have like people drinking coffee outside eight and what?
Broadway, I was between 80 80th and Broadway is like you got to be a fucking rich
Like in the industry you you got to be
Somebody's boss's boss to live up there. It's crazy. They're really set up. There's one of the most expensive areas in the world
The best in the world. Yeah, I love it. I love the upper. Santa, New York. Is it you? Santa, New York seven?
Ah, it's been 15 years. Yeah, I still do that club. They're a cool club. It's been 15 years
But you know, we were talking about a
I left in 85 and cocaine was wide open
Smoking joints and clubs was wide open and those days the columbians were taking cigarettes
Taking out the tobacco and putting coke in the front and lighting it up
So it went through a nicotine and it was like work like a filter
I went back in 94
And me our buddy mine stinky and two girls went out
And I went to the bathroom to do a bump
Don't the guy knocked on the door and he's like you can't we can we don't do that here
And I was like are you serious? This is new york city. He's like we don't do that
Yeah, and I remember a time before that I went up to the upper west side. I was a young kid. I was dirty something
I was doing comedy and I think I went to stand up new york to do one of the open mics or something like that
and then I walked up
and I remember walking into a place like on
Maybe 84th street and it was all these people drinking water, bro. Ha ha ha and
And fucking giggling and shit. I'm like if you people would have seen what this ball was like 20 years ago
You wouldn't have been hard
It was the fucking westies weren't that yeah four irish dudes were in there collecting vig and yelling there was irish music on
Yeah, and now it's all these fucking gentile phases in there from college
Washington square park, bro
I used to go there and see chappelle as a kid. I didn't even know what stand-up was I didn't know was davis chappelle
I didn't know was the other fucking dude. I had no idea when I saw miami vice
I said that's a dude from washington square park and when I looked them up
I had no idea I used to go up there with bonehead
I used to have a friend bonehead and me and stinky used to work for him and he'd give us 50 bucks a piece to pick up a toilet
Go to the store and pick up cigarettes and beer for him
Shit like that, but the day started we would go do it the toilet or do some plumbing work
and then we go
To that fucking place that sells chili
And two beers or something mix all these ale houses. It's still there. Tell me that's still there
Where's it at right? Washington square park right there all these ale house
Or some type of beer place. I don't even know if it's mix all these
We me and stinky would go there. We'd order a beer. We were we were fucking 17
They didn't prove you then yeah
We'd order a beer. They bring us chili the beer and he would go to the park top heroin
Valium's yeah and a weed for us
In those days you'd get eight tens eight ten milligram valium's with the v in it for ten dollars
And he would walk back while we were eating
He'd go into the bathroom at this place and he'd do a little tootsie. Let's do a little blast
Just to keep him alive till eight o'clock and then eight he'd go to fucking zoomieville
And we did that twice a week. Yeah, I loved walking around and watching the square park. That's how I said to you
When I heard david lee roth got arrested that I go, that's the end
Ari said at yankee games people got arrested yankee games for smoking weed. Yeah, I remember going to a yankee game
And people were smoking crack
There was crack files. I saw a 93 there was crack files
I got upset with the guy smoking crack the other day because I was walking down the stairs with my kid
And it's like I live in Harlem and I look like where I live in Harlem is pretty gentrified. It's fairly nice
What street I live on one. I mean, I live I live off of the the 116th and
Like 7th 8th Avenue that area. How far are you from lemak get that?
Uh, just like a 12 minute walk under like right on 117. Yeah, we're 116th. Yeah, yeah, it's still there. Oh, yeah
When you make santeria, I use you know, it's funny
I always used to go that that I might have said this last time because I think you mentioned that the last time
Because that that building that went down
Uh, was right there and I I lived the block or like a half a block down from that building that just blew up in Harlem
Um, so I used to live just a block away from the the market right there
Yeah, so I have no culture. I can't say the marketa la marketa la marketa. Yeah, that was what can you say it?
No, can I want to hear you say it while marketa my my dad
Yeah, somebody can say it whiter than me. I I love no, I love my dad to death
But he still he calls chipotle chipotle chipotle chipotle chipotle
I tell him every time I'm like dad, it's chipotle. That's a new level of white. He's like, it's hey, I went
Look, here's the truth, right? Like white people see me as being like
Latino are you look Spanish? No, I know. Yeah, I look my son looks managed my son looks, you know
He's the same like complexion as me
But he's only because I'm half Italian Irish
And my son's only technically a quarter Hispanic, but he looks just like a fucking little Puerto Rican man
Great white person hair because I had shitty like really curly hair
And then it's fucking now. It's just gone now. It's fucking over. See that's that's where you see you think I'm young, but that's where it comes in
Gotta pay I do somewhere
You gotta fucking know you got great hair joey losing it's it's going down because I puff it back
The middle has puffed down. It's like a cake. You don't use enough flour
Did you ever see the cake on little rascals when they fucking made the cake? No
Click on the little rascals the cake these motherfuckers need to get a dress for their mom
So they made a cake. Yeah, and everybody had to pay five dollars to get in there to eat the cake
Wait till you see what they put in the fucking cake
I don't know if they put in the cheese
This is one of the best episodes of all time that we're gonna talk about what we're talking about when you came in
It's just I forgot about this. Yeah, I don't remember what it was either. They put in the cake
Let me get another star of death though. I feel like you guys are not respecting me right now
No, we love you to death. I feel like you guys are not respecting me. I can't but you know what?
You're gonna take a whatever home. So you're okay
Watch this. What's this shit?
Look at stymie and shit
That's PD the America's first people
One of them is
Stymie this all seems very racist. I don't know why oh this that's why Cosby brought him the rapist
And he took all the racist shit out of it. I don't know people put the racist shit back on
For as long as I tell you coon
Watch this
That's fucking racist
The episode is this kid here's mom gets beat up by a husband and shit and the dad's a douchebag
So she wants a dress for her birthday. So these guys plan
Is to make a cake and sell it and get the profits
To make a fucking dress
But they don't know what they're doing. They're just putting a bunch of shit in here
Sugar and speed it up a little bit lee and I'll show you this. Let's see where you're at go up a little bit
All right now that they're setting up the party
And they start throwing things into the cake
You know, it's funny that uh, did you watch that um stranger things show?
All right, it's it you watch it lee
My girlfriend has but I haven't okay, so
By the way, the cast a big part of the cast is like these little kids
They're like, you know, uh, 10 year old kids, right?
And apparently they they shopped it around to a bunch of networks and they wouldn't sign it because it was kids
And they said nobody's gonna get on board with uh, like a kids ensemble cast
So it's kind of funny. I was like, you don't really see shows that are about little kids like who the fuck is watching
This is like pedophiles. But no, this was 1930 1925
They played these was this for children? Was this for children?
I don't know. They played was it for adult or children?
I have no fucking idea when I was a kid
They were black and white and we'd watch him, you know, I said when I was eight and nine I watched them
And I'm like, what the fuck speed this up a little bit
And now they're putting shoes in the fucking cake. See the cake is starting to trembulate now. Watch this
They fucking blow. Look at this shit. This is real stuff. Yeah, this isn't even
Special effects
Look, put that out louder. They let this little black kid almost let himself on fire. Look at the cake. Look at the cake
You should won't listen to it
Listen to the fucking noises
Oh, I haven't seen this in years. I don't even know why I thought about this
Wow
This is like if this was in like why would you do this look at the cake? Oh my god
Is a big one
So the middle of that cake, that's my hairdo you see how
Yeah, I see
I feel like they didn't pay these actors. No, they forced the kids to go to work. Rob. They made them do sex acts
This is 1925 those people were fucking terrible
This is the first black market all all people were horrible in the 20s. Horrible horrible
These kids were this was all racist. Yeah, these kids came out years later. They were all out bees and missing an eye
I'm sure I tried to kill themselves. They were like fucking trannies
It was sad. It was fucking sad. That was what the uh, the eddy murphy sketch was about right? It was about buckwheat as an adult
Was it? Yeah, I think that's what it was about, right?
Look at these motherfuckers. Yeah
Would you ever let your uh, your kid act? No
Me neither. No, I don't like what they get faced with
Yeah, because people because I got my kids cute as shit. I might get the fucking cute little boy
Oh, no when I when she was born the agent called me goes we set up an account for her
We should get him in movies and shit. Yeah
I saw how they picked up that kid in son's anarchy. They put him in a truck. They made the truck roll over
He'll fuck you for scale
Listen, man, I I did five movies with kids. Do you think they make the babies do their own stunts?
They're baby fucking stunt doubles. You can turn this off Lee. I did five movies with kids
There were six situations that I saw with kids that I did not like in movies. I did five movies with kids
And like I always say I saw this audition one time where the play it was raining out
and it was fucking mobbed
and
You know people were fucking getting rained on outside
But there's his mom and her little girl and she had 20 head shots spread around the floor and 20 people could have stood there
But in her and the mom's head that was more important her little friends. We got these pictures
I don't want my daughter around those people that their kids
Are connected with directors and shit like that, you know, yeah in my house. We're real connected with my daughter
We're not into Hollywood stuff. I don't go to premieres
I don't I try to avoid as much of that Hollywood stuff as I can
Well, also like I think the reason it's in general for the most part like entertainment and wanting to be an entertainer
Comes from some sort of attention and I'm hoping my kid
Doesn't grow up with that need because we've given that you know, listen man. Look at the final product of
Six out of ten of those kids that act. Yeah, look at the final product
You know
There's a nightmare. There's this is this if I could talk to my daughter and say listen
These people want to use you for a show for two years. You take that money and put it up for college
But no you want a college no matter what happens
Know that you have to go to college
And she's that strong. Yeah, I would consider it, but I don't want her mingling with those kids
Especially now if Smith's kid, I don't want to mingling with
Prius, you know, there's just a bunch of kids that walk around just saying that's my dad
I don't need that in my life. I want you to have your own fucking identity
Do you know what I am? It's real important that you have your own fucking identity
This new generation they can't handle
I've seen Sean Lennon's son. What does Sean Lennon do since his dad died?
By the way, it's the anniversary of John Lennon today. Uh, rest in peace cocksucker
That album was fucking great. Maybe we'll close this from John Lennon. Also, uh, Dimebag Darrell Dimebag Darrell
That's right. Dimebag. I played uh, I played cowboys in the hell out of fucking respect
You know, I was talking with some of these mom a friend of mine's wife and he was telling me how bad the drug problem is
and like malibu high
Because those people got fucking I'm sure parents are out drinking they leave the pills in the fucking locker room
The kids take him to school. You know, it just I see it here. This is north hollywood. This is a shitty area
Yeah, and I've been to the Y swimming with my daughter and there's been couples dad
That they're watching that kid swim with the nanny in the pool
Right, that's unheard of even my mom who was a fucking alcoholic jumped in pools with me and jumped in the ocean with me
You know, it's beyond me. You're gonna pay for that later on
Look, that's why like my kid, you know, he literally he's never had like a nanny. He never had uh, you know
I mean, we uh, you know, we've got babies
I got a baby set comes in mother and friday, you know my wife out, but we don't even use her anymore
Yeah, we thought we raised our kid and I have I have a buddy of mine. I want to say who it is
But uh, he was like, uh, he's got money and he's like he's like, ah, dude
He's got he had a kid like maybe two years after I did but this is when he had like a newborn
And he was like, uh, he was like, ah, dude. Yeah, man
So, you know, it's fucking tough, but he's like, you know, I love it. I mean raising this kid
You know, it's a you know, really really hands-on
I asked him a schedule. He was like, you know, so I wake up at us, you know
6 30 with her and then uh, the babysitter comes at 8 or the nanny comes at 8. I go back to sleep
I'm like the fucking hour an hour and a half. Yeah an hour and a half. Are you fucking crazy?
And then when the kids when the chicks blowing people at the fucking prom
Yeah, that's when they'll come to you. Fuck. I shouldn't have that babysitter
I should have sat there when I watch a cartoon or played with blocks or something like that
My phone don't start ringing for business don't 9 30. Yeah, I have mercy when I'm home and listen, man
I'm no fucking best daddy. Yeah, I'm not here. You know, this is just common sense type shit
I don't have to fucking read a book
You when you talk to somebody, you know, they're fucking broken and the more you talk to them
They start talking to my mom or dad. You know what I'm saying in my world. It's mom. I don't remember my fucking dad
We're all a little fucking broken somewhere. I think it has to be weird just to have the option to say, oh
Well, maybe I'll do a couple commercials and I'll pay for college like
Growing up in Massachusetts. I didn't know no one it was the the most anyone had was like the job I had
Like a cvs or that's the problem with the city's in la in new york and it's like kids grow up fast and they also grow up
I'm in the entertainment industry
So it's like being around that it's going to be very enticing and that's something I'm gonna have to deal with
You know in in reality, it's like you're right
I'm talking about my kid being three though and people put their kids at two and three years old and commercials
And you're like you're not even giving them a chance. You're kind of you're entrenched in that world when they don't have any choice
And I think it's a weird
You almost you need to have something in you to want to get in this world
So let them figure out if they have that in in them
It's just kind of very strange to me that they could ever have a baby being a fucking movie. What are you doing with your baby?
Well last night. I'm sitting there stone to the gills. I get off the phone with Lee
And I noticed that there's a show on about Scientology. I'm with Lee Remini. Have you watched it?
Oh
I've heard about it. I haven't going off on them and she introduced different people the bull who abandoned ship and
All this shit and blah blah blah blah blah blah
But there's this one guy and she's talking to him and the guy's crying because he left in his family stayed in there
Well, you know what dog? You put him in there
Do you know what I'm saying? Listen, man
I don't like people
I was very fortunate growing up. Nobody ever took me down a dark street
Okay, but there's a lot of people out there that live their life to take people down dark streets, bro
And you get into a cult
You want to get into a cult? That's your fucking business, bro. Yeah, you can't put your kid in there when he's fucking five
Yeah
Can't do it. You want to join a cult and go to buy it?
Whatever Jonestown and drink the fucking lemonade
That's fine. I'd say most people it's not guys that are in the industry
It's people that have always wanted to be in the industry that could never do it
It's that stage mom shit where they want it. They want to look like harassing through their kids. That is pistol Pete's dead
That's that's terrible. No, no, so I mean, so I think that's why you know
Like I know what it's like. I I mean, you know, I haven't had a fucking easier in this industry
So it's like I know what rejection is like that's fucking it sucks
I wouldn't wish this like if if I would have known back then when I first started
How tough the industry is and how difficult it is to make a real living here and and you know
To to fucking make it as a comedian dude, I might have you know, I might have picked a different path
At this point, it's just too late brother and today's world
It's tough to do fucking anything. Yeah, and today's economy and today's world right now in america
It's tough to do fucking anything
Right now if you're a plumber's apprentice right now you get out of high school
How many fucking options do you have what do you look to on a pack? I mean, I want to tap this out
There's no way to tap it. I'll tap it on the floor there and today's america
If you're a kid and you don't want to join the service
And you like construction and you want to join a fucking union. How much work do you think there is in the union?
You'll work steady for nine months
then the job shuts down
And to some people it's it's bad, but for you learning a trade. It's even fucking worse
Yeah, you know how hard it is to learn to trade in this country right now
Remember 20 years ago. You could walk up to a construction site and go. Hey, man. I'm a big guy
Can I learn how to lay brick? I'm gonna go. Have you ever a hardy before? No, I hadn't all right learn how to be a
Hardy we'll talk about laying brick. Yeah after a year when you become the best hardy out of five of them
The guy would go okay once your work is done come on over I'll teach you how to lay brick
Yeah, and after five years now, you know how to lay brick now
You're on a line you went from starting at nine bucks or whatever it is now
To 16 17 18 dollars an hour and after five more years you can start your own fucking business
That's an apprenticeship that doesn't exist no more in this country because right now we just hire immigrants
Yeah, instead of laborers for laborers. We just hire immigrants. I'm sorry. I have to say that word whether they're russian like trump did or
Or mexicans or Guatemala in jersey. They're all years ago. They're irish. Yeah 20 years
Immigrants does sound like a
Like a nasty word, but it's not it's just a word. It's the truth. They hire people
Doesn't it sound like you're like saying something like that like immigrant, but it's just the it's just a word
Anybody that's not from this country that comes here is an immigrant. Well, here's my question
Is it
They're hiring immigrants because they're cheaper or is it is that part of it?
But it's also those are the people who are applying for the jobs like see that's the question
I don't know that I haven't figured out. Okay. How many kids do you talk to today? That's at 18
You know unless your dad's in the trades and he takes you in the summers and he teaches you
You know how much work is for this kid if he wants to learn a trade
That's what I always want like right now. There's three big construction projects. They redoing the coliseum
They're doing the soccer stadium and they're redoing some village down there or some shit
You know
I was thinking about that today. How much labor or work is there on that?
Are they doing fucked up labor where they say they're paying the labor 16 dollars an hour
But they bring non-union workers and paying eight dollars flat and they swallow the rest of the money
Yeah, I mean how many of those are print in their apprentice programs
I wonder how many I haven't looked it up, but tonight I will how many apprenticeship programs now there are
I know there was a uh, I know this isn't specifically
In the trades in the trades, but there was I I did a course and they had a I could have gone to a trade school
A vocational school. They still have that and when I grow up, uh
But I I know that there's people who make
A lot of money like I know it's kind of a hot topic right now, but people in oil
Make the people who are out there drilling are millionaires
Just like million I want to have my child aspire to be an oil tycoon
Listen it all starts by being an engineer, right?
I don't I don't know I what would you want your your little girl to be if you could choose a career for her to be
What would it be?
Three careers three three that's a good number either a little you don't have no kits, right?
No, no, but you're going to one day. You're gonna fucking drop seed in the check
Oh, jeez. Hopefully not for a while either a lawyer
A doctor
Or some social feel where she feels she's really helping people
Yeah, you know, there's some people that put on this earth bro to really help people
I don't give a fuck if they make 20,000 a year
Yeah, I know a drill years ago. That was 40 something
She lived like an artist in a fucking one bedroom office
You know on top of a bar
But she's like I get to help fucking minorities every day
Yeah, you know, there's some people doing that. So for me for her to have a good life
She needs to do that. She needs to be a fucking doctor
God knows how much college is gonna cost in 20 fucking years
You know, that's a big fear for us
In 16 years, how much is a college gonna fucking cost at that time at that time
Are you gonna really encourage your your daughter to go to college dog times change?
I think in 10 years college is going to be irrelevant. I agree
I'm I'm college is going to be relevant if my kid really wants to go to college now
I saw I'm watching what happened with him. I'm watching the questions. We had a conversation a few years ago that I went home
Blown away, you know, uh by him. So I don't think it's going to be relevant
I'm sorry to interrupt you. No, no, please not at all. I
What that I'm gonna
I'm good. Well, I'm not gonna encourage my kid to go to college if if he wants to go
Like I'm not gonna be one of these parents going like, oh, you gotta think about college
You gotta it's gotta it's gotta be something that he really wants to do in general, dude
I tell you right now in life. I have so many friends
Most of my friends that have college degrees most of them the vast majority of them aren't using their degree
No, not at all. That's what I'm saying. There's like two that are and then some of them teachers
They're teachers right and then some of them that dad's paying that job. It's not great
I mean to be honest with you teaching jobs just aren't really great
50% of those people their parents paid and the other 50 they're lugging the fucking cost. Yeah, I'm not saying nothing bad about your parents
You guys we split it but we split it right
But that's a crazy thing
That's a loaded thing to say they say that college is going to be irrelevant irrelevant irrelevant
Okay, but then what are you going to do because now even people
Drop it irrelevant. Yeah, and mcdonald's jobs
That you need to have a college degree and
No, you don't know who the fuck is aspiring to be at a college or mcdonald's job
That's why when people say you got to raise the minimum wage. I'm like, why are we fucking battling for these people that have no aspirations
I'm sorry. Just fucking do who wants to have minimum wage
It's like two percent of the people in the country are make minimum wage
Why like you should your thought process shouldn't be like I want to make minimum wage
The thought process should be I want to go go beyond that the people that are making minimum wage should be should be their kids
Their teenagers disabilities. We don't know about
Somebody went through a traumatic experience a divorce a debt
Maybe they just want to get a job and be half a retard. Maybe serve hamburgers. You know what I'm saying
McDonald's makes a lot of fucking money every year the same as all these other people
You're making nine bucks an hour. I'm asking you to pay me six fucking more
And raise the fucking national average. Yeah, I mean you see what it costs to be a human being
I'm not even caught. Listen. I didn't say the cost of life. Did I?
I said what it cost to be a human being
None of us could afford being a human being anymore. Yeah, you know, what's a human being?
We got the best soap. We got the best shampoo. We got the best rug cleaner
We got the best jackets. We all try to cut corners somewhere, brother
Right when we get the Beverly Hills, we'll get the Beverly Hills
But for right now we're all cutting corners somewhere
If not, this office would be on top of a condo and then have bitches right now fan of listening shit
And we write a little theater of the mind for the audio listeners. That's what's exactly what's happening
There's bitches everywhere that right now the American cost of living and when the Americans making I'll tell you what breaks my heart
Right now. I know there's
Thousands of people that want to go home for their families. Go look at those plane tickets
Go see what it would set you back just to get on the plane without gifts
Right without gifts just a cab the two cabs and the thing to surprise your family
It's 700 fucking dollars
That's a lot of money when you make a 400 a fucking week my friend 500 a fucking week
I I don't know. I'm not mad at you Lewis, but like no you are Lee. I see it in your face. I'm I'm furious, but
I don't necessarily think that and I know you weren't making a blanket statement, but for the minimum wage
I'm at I've worked a lot of minimum wage jobs in high school and college
And there's a lot of people who just like
Like just because you were fine. No, I'm fine now, but I worked minimum wage. I worked at kfc
One of the best experiences my entire life was working at kfc. Absolutely. Absolutely
I'm telling you right now
I you just it was a one of my first jobs that I had for a while that I had to really be responsible with
It wasn't fucking supposed to be the be all I wasn't supposed to live my life off of that job
But there are people that are willing to do that work
I just go like it's a very small percentage of people that make minimum wage
We should be focusing on how can we how can we push people to be doing jobs and and and
Educating people and getting people to do things that are beyond just the bare minimum bullshit jobs that are out there
It's not like the good jobs are paying minimum wage. You know what I'm saying
Well, that's what's mcdonald pay. What is the national minimum wage right now at this point in our lives?
What is that? I don't know the national national minimum wage. What is it right now?
Well, I just I've never it's just so fucking tough out there guys
Do it stand up. There's no
720
All right, so seven 25 times 40 times 40. That's two. That's 300 a fucking week my friend. Yeah, that sucks
That's 1200 a month. What's your rent?
Um my rent
Yeah
I wouldn't work for minimum wage. No, I know but I wouldn't do it think about how many people are very
small percentage of people
25 an hour. I did not know I thought it was $9 an hour. No, that's crazy. Even 360 don't do nothing for you
That's not so good. That's not so good
1300 a month you ain't doing dick with 1300 a month. I don't know. I just nobody's fucking get I work
I do stand-up comedy. I've worked so fucking hard. Nobody's giving me a handout. There's no minimums in my life
There's no guarantees. I know but people make their decisions people give me a decision
People make a decision to work at mcdonald's but people may have to make a decision to work at mcdonald's because
Things aren't going too well if comedy wasn't going that great for you. You work at mcdonald's part time and do comedy part time
But I wouldn't I would do something else
And i'ma say everybody has it
I would I would never I used to I would never work for minimum wages as an adult
I've been going to mcdonald's lately with my daughter
hunts after soccer
My wife and I take it to mcdonald's. I get the quarter pound. I don't eat the fries
It's healthy. All right, you're being healthy. I'm trying you run right to the fucking baton. That's how you know mcdonald's is terrible
I'm not even in the car and I got a shit everything has the same flavor like the milk shake the french fries the burgers
There's a mcdonald's like film the last time we went I didn't even eat nothing
And I was dying to eat a big mac the new big mac don't look bad. They shrunk it. Look what they do
I don't fucking know there's a new big mac. There's three new big macs, but I wouldn't touch them
I don't know they they broke them down. I was reading it, but I was high
We should get do they deliver mcdonald's? No when I get mcdonald's delivered here. That's disgusting
Can we do big macs? You take the fucking stink out of this office for a year
I can't come in here. I'm gonna have to get those carpet people
What we talk about mcdonald's and I was looking at the people working mcdonald's right here. I know
This one here. I don't want to say the name
they weren't
That's the two people
They were a couple college kids the manager, you know, there's a great story that I think I told lee that the manager
The guy that created my name is url
Yeah, great garcia when the strike when he was doing my name is url the writer strike
He got a job
On the mcdonald's on laurel king the creator. Yeah, and he started from the bottom washing bathrooms and shit
And after three months they offered him like that's the plot of coming to america. What are you talking about?
It was louis anderson's character
This is 2007 2008 the writer strike
He went into that mcdonald's right on radford
And got a job at cbs right there by where his friends are
He didn't think his friends were gonna see him when he worked and he mopped floors and they said they promoted him to french fries
And the grill then they got promoted to the camp, of course and they came to him and then they go
Would you consider being like the system manager? He worked his way up to be the fucking head of uh
W i mean he fucking took the checks gave him back to him. He goes this is who I am
I just wanted to do this as an experience. Oh, well, you know, and I remember talking to him after he goes it was so weird
Thought I was in there and doing this because you tried sometimes and I always thought about it
Just got the mcdonald's job for a week, but then quitting in an awesome way stinking like that
No, I'm not gonna say none. I'm never gonna come back. You want your check? Not really give it the fucking
McDonald land give it to ronald mcdonald's fucking jerk off in the fries
It's so weird the last couple years since I travel and I see what america looks like and how different
Sometimes you got to do what the fuck you got to do man. I think I think people don't fuck you got to do
It's just a reality
They don't even it's not that they're not ambitious because a lot of the most of them because they make 300 dollars a week
Have to work two jobs. I don't think that many people are look up the amount of people in this country that are making
Uh, minimum wage. I'm trying to find it but this church really small and I think that we are talking about a very small percentage people
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe can we get callers if calling right now eight six six five two two church
eight six six five two two church
And we want to know
We'll find out I can't
The all these charts are okay. All right. All right
About 1.7 million earned below the federal wage minimum
Okay, I don't even hear the sirens, but it sounds like joey just left to go fight cops
He he he does fight
Shots come on cocks on us. I'm doing a podcast. I think it's
Okay, so there's 3.3 of the hourly paid workers
um
So, yeah, okay, so it's three four and three percent of the population
3.3. Yeah
That's still a lot of people though. That's with how many people on the pot. Give me the number of people because here's the thing
It's 3.3 of the population makes minimum wage. Okay 78.2. Okay in 2015
78.2 million workers age 16 and older in the united states were paid at hourly rates
Representing 58.5 of all wages and salary workers
Among those paid by the hour
870,000 earned exactly the federal minimum wage
And the 1.7 had wages below the federal minimum wage, you know, that's that's that's fine 78 million not that many people
It's bad out there. You said something very interesting
You worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken. How old were you? I was uh 16 to like
Like a year and a half two years if your son comes to you when he's 15 and goes dad
I want to climb two years. I want to come arrow. What are you gonna say?
I'm gonna go go work in the Kentucky Fried Chicken. Whatever you make put away. I'll match it
Would you say something like that? Yeah, probably that's that's what I would do crazy is that that
Listen man, you always want the best for your children you uh
You sit there and you go
For some reason i'm very cautious about this, you know when my mom died there was nothing
I thought there was millions and there was nothing
My mom was still married. So he got no will. He gets first dabs. That's crazy. I uh, same thing. My parents are both dead
Crazy, I hear about people getting an inheritance and i'm like inheritance. I got
Crazy, I lost so I just lost you always want to prepare
I watch people get an inheritance. I'm like, oh you gained something like I'm kind of jealous in a weird way when people's family members die
But you always want to prepare for your child. You always go, you know, let me prepare for her
In case I drop dead doing fucking jujitsu or doing bong hits the stars at death with these two fucking savages
And then you start thinking about realities. Okay. What do you want your child to do?
I always think about can I take mercy to 148th street and drop her off at fucking
Mr. Gomez's house for the weekend so she could stay with the sun. Could I do this? I trust you. Yeah
But could they do what we were doing 20 years ago walk down the riverside drive over the bridge
Walk back around broadway walk up to 150th street
Go to block parties. Could you would you trust your child to do that 10 like I did? Right? I don't know anymore
No, I'm not 10. I was doing it at fucking six
No, six. No, I was walking around walking the riverside drive crossing across broadway
I used to live on uh
And up in uh, washington heist and there's fucking like literally children like two three-year-old kids out there with no parents
Like an older brother will be there like but that older brother's like seven or eight
But I'm talking about two in the morning three in the morning and you go you're like, all right, dude
Well, this is I'm telling you right now those kids if they do if they don't end up selling drugs and being criminals
If they don't
Then that is a fucking miracle good for that guy who gets out of that because it's nearly impossible
If that's what you're growing up in just in the fucking hood. No, there's no way
There's no how is that up there now? It's bad still dude up in the heights
There's little pockets that are nice
But here's the thing the further you get away from centralized Manhattan like whatever borough it is
It's really it's it's it's simple. Okay, so I get off the bus from jersey
On the george washington bridge. Can I still get weed and coke right in that area?
It's not on the street as much too because they clean up the streets a lot
You'd have to like you look like a fucking cop. There's no way
I you look you look like you walked right off alone order
And you'd be trying to buy drugs with me. There's no way you wouldn't get it
I wouldn't get it. Lee wouldn't get it. Nope. You'd have to be like a Puerto Rican kid or a Dominican kid
You'd have to know somebody you have to live in that area and have a guy that you know
But all they have to see is you go to the store two or three days in a row
Um, you know, you buy blunt wraps, you know, they see you you say what's up a few times
You'll be fine after like a few days
But there's nothing on the streets like when I left there and there is but there's like there's hood guys that are like hustling
The not even just in the hood like you'll go time school
you'll be more likely to go down to like West 4th street by the comedy seller or like
You know, um, you know union square area if you walk around union square at night on a weekend
There'll be like black dudes or Puerto Rican dudes will walk around like how you want weed you want coke
You can get it from those guys
But you gotta kind of like just get lucky and pass one of those dudes
But there's not really dudes that are nobody dependable
If you live in the hood, yes, there's guys that are hanging out and fucking stairwells that you can go to
But you gotta live there. You can't just walk up by yourself. There's no way
It's changed a lot. Yeah, I could buy
I could get off 178th street
Walk three blocks in the other direction
30 years ago 20 years ago and buy a gun
That's crazy. Coke heroin weed
I didn't know math or anything like that. I wouldn't know the first step to get a gun the first step this all right, so you walk
off
Back in those days, this is how easy this is how crazy it was
in those days you walked off
uh
Port authority you walked on to Broadway
and
You know, I'm gonna fuck up the streets you get off on 178 on a 76
You walk two blocks and they used to be on the corner. There was a Cuban place
And
I would go in there sit down
You know talk to people like just talk
I'm gonna come by by whatever I order and eat and then from there
I would walk around the block to that park. There's a park right there. I'm not good with names
This is I bought a few guns there in 85
And then I bought and sold a few guns there in 93
So it was like uh, you can just like walk up and it was almost like a walk up almost like a pawn shop
But I do they're playing basketball out there and it used to be a handball court
I always tell people somebody told me this
30 years ago they want you want to buy a gun go to a handball court
Because they're all ex felons out there playing handball. It's not like you know
Everyone's a lot cops get out there and play handball, but besides that it's a shitty. It's a shitty sport
It's a shitty sport, but that's what you learned to play in prison. So you talk shit. You want to hype it
Is that is that where a handball got popular was prison? I don't know. I don't know the fucking history of handball
I'm just telling the other fucking, you know
But I used to go there in the mid 80s
Because the the word on the street was if you had a car and you wanted to get rid of it
You got off like you were going to the west side highway
And then you got off
And right under there used to be a bridge and there was a street that oval dog in those days
Oh, yeah, there's pull up your car there. So that street
Was connected to that park the people who ran that park
Ran that street and walk home from the basketball court. They would take the cars
That was their last mission of the day. They would take the cars and sell them
You would just drop your car off come back tomorrow your car was guaranteed gone
In the Bronx chopped up by fucking three immigrants on its way to fucking Saudi Arabia. Yeah, that's the truth
That's the truth root
So it was all connected. So somebody told me yeah, just go to the park if you want to buy a piece
And one day I went out and I bought a 22 for like 55 bucks. What?
It must have shot 80 people this gun was good
It was wow
What was the one movie where they that's how they describe it? They're like how many bodies are on the guy?
Yeah, yeah, that's what that looks like juice or one of those like if you buy a gun on the street
You want it to be fucking heavy duty? You want this is the gun that killed Kennedy?
But don't
I thought the less
The less bodies on it
The more valuable the gun was because then the less the cops are looking for this
Well, the cops are looking for this gun. So they catch you and they're gonna pin you with 18
So you better get it and shoot them out a fucking quick kill somebody
Throw it into the lake. The only thing that's good about this gun is that don't miss
This is how fucking ghetto people are though that like you bought it for 50 bucks, right?
You shoot somebody you're gonna probably sell it back to them for 25 bucks. So why would you just get rid of it?
Why even waste your time throw it into the fucking river? I shoot somebody with a gun
I do something bad like I did something once with a gun that was brand new 600 bucks for this gun
I threw it away. Yeah, you got it done
How could you just throw gun how many guns you think are just in the fucking Hudson river?
Oh
Oh my god, right under the bridge people just shot somebody and the driving over they just throw it
You go right where the bridge ends. You gotta stick. You got a bunch of divers to just drop
They'll pick up machine guns fucking
A body pops up in the Hudson every fucking day
Some something from his body has to decompose into the water. Yeah, the fungi toenail
The fucking armpit red something had that that water
Because I grew up in Rockland County, New York
Yeah, dude, fuck it was a for five now, but back then yeah
I grew up as I would come down and jump into the Hudson river to off the penny bridge and stony point
Oh my god
It literally jump off that bridge when the only when the high tide was coming because when the low tide was coming
You'll break your fucking legs
But when the high tide was in there was a certain time of day
You would jump off the penny bridge, but then they also had like fucking wooden planks
So people would like shred up their legs jumping off this thing
But that's the type of fucking boredom you had when you were 12
in the suburbs of New York
You that you you're looking for crazy shit to do
So it's almost a weird balance because no matter where you raise your kid whether it's a city or suburbs
You have to worry about your kid fucking either becoming a drug addict or fucking killing themselves because of boredom
Well, here's the beauty of this
And this is no yeah
Years ago Rogan said to me got stuck on an airport one day
And then he saw these people jumping up and down and he goes, you know, they were Cuban
And he goes it made me think of you and put a smile on my face because I got to see what you're really about
He goes
There was eight of them and they were having a fucking parade at the terminal
Yeah, like they were taking over the terminal had music on they were dancing
In the 80s, it's it's not a joke, but in the 80s when you grew up in the suburbs of New York
Brooklyn
The Bronx Queens, you know the Hudson River is like fucking South Beach
Do you know I'm saying so if even if you watch
Copland there's a scene where
Two black black couple yell at
Stallone they go, hey man
You motherfuckers are racist and shit and that was that every weekend
Because to them they don't want to go down to Jersey Shore. They don't want to go to nice beach to them and Puerto Ricans were the best
They would pull up like what a fucking four door car, right?
With tinted windows knows in the four doors are open and 19 people walk out
But then the trunk would pop open and out of that trunk dog. They pulled out two coolers a pig
Four conga drums
It was on and they would take that little corner. They would
Clean the fucking grill off and they go fishing in the Hudson. Oh, yeah. Are we go fishing? Are you crazy?
I grew up fishing in the Hudson. That's not even weird and take fishes out. That shit is the word
That's worse than Katrina fish. Do we go crabbing in the Hudson? Oh, we go fishing in the Hudson
What do you think fucking how many bodies are we just talking about you got metal poisoning?
I went bowling 18. That's why my hair started
One time I went fishing my gums bleed. Me. Mike. Ask this dude Johnny Lopez that was crazy used to shoot around
He used to shoot cats and dogs on a boy. I mean, it's whole family was crazy
The mother was like on cancer and they used to sell her pills
Her pain pills. They were 55 dollars a piece that were called tumor. I mean, they're just a crazy family
Nice people though. I like them. He took his fish
He took me and divo fishing one time the Hudson River and we're out there
We got a couple six by eight packs with drinking with smoke and no drugs
And we're fishing and all of a sudden divo pulls out this fucking fish
Like this eel
Yeah, they've got tons of eels in the Hudson River. Yeah, I did and he's got chills in your line all the time
And he's let him go. Oh, he slit the heart out and we ate it. We ate the fucking heart like through as well
Dude, I'll tell you now. I was just that I think I'm not Americans. I'll tell you this much
I don't even know what it is
We've at least nailed the not eating a weird part of animals because in every other culture they fucking eat everything, dude
It's disgusting that heart lit like oh
A leak in eel. You mean a tongue?
Oh, Cuban humans could cook a tongue. I ate rabbit once and it fucked me up a little bit
All that shit fucked me up lamb all that shit. Can I tell you why?
Because it's so I had a little leg, right? It was like nothing frog too. Same thing these little dainty things
You're like, dude, you're killing a fucking animal. It doesn't matter that it's smaller
I get that you get more meat
I mean you're taking the life of this animal, right for almost nothing for like a bite of meat
We're not primitive. It's not like we're just fucking catching so that
There's no reason people want to say they a frog
If somebody comes at me and goes, oh my god, we had frog for dinner. I want a back candy in the mouth because
Yeah, who would eat a fucking frog? I did in Puerto Rico. I didn't pour. I did rabbit and frog because I wanted to try it
Yeah, one time you my fucking wife eats
Uh, uh, what are those people those lizards not lizards my wife's family eats those fucking their squirrels
That's crazy. They're from Tennessee and they get squirrel and barbecue with barbecue sauce
They eat the legs and shit whatever they eat your zone. I'm like, you know, I like brain
I probably when I was a kid
What's that fucking with the mic? I know one of the best things my wife my mom used to make when I was like
Puerto Ricans cook uh bakalaito frito
Those little fish fucking smelly fish the fish that's grind it down that you deep fry it with flour
And they get out they come bakalaito frito, but my mom used to make those things but bakal, uh, she used to make
Frita de ceso
So with some animals brains
And she would take the shield to our fucking soak them in egg
Flower and slice them thin and deep fry those motherfuckers with some lemon on it
When I was a kid I I watched the money. Oh, fuck. Yeah, delicious. I don't make believe
I didn't even know what the fuck they were but she would cook them. So you don't know what they were
Oh, no, I knew what they were she would slice them so thin and cook them that both sides were just like
A half inch apart. So you never even tasted the brain. You just tasted the crispy stuff
I had a fucking spicy tuna roll when I was 11 and I almost puked that was like the most exotic thing that I ever had
My entire like sushi now. Yeah, I love it. Oh, please. All right. I fucking love it. I'll eat sushi
I ate sushi last night sushi with this fucking I went to sushi
I went to sushi last night with brisk buffer. He told us go to that place katana right next to the comedy store
How much you dropped 280 dude, dude, it was fucking crazy. Here's the we were bringing him
We told them that before we should have told them afterwards
Dude, he fucking he killed you dude. He killed us
The voice of the ufc fucking beat us down
What would you drop in there like 400 some dollars? Oh, I wasn't even drinking. Oh, no, you can't drink in there
I made the mistake of taking somebody there once on business and they owe the three little steak sticks
Delicious, that's that's what it was
Those things are like 20 a piece. I know we're sitting there watching it leave. Forget it. I'm watching bruce buffer
Just fucking eat four of them. Just I'm in one bite at a time every time he eats when you're like
I hope he's gonna suck my dick because if this is a girl at least he would suck dead have another one
And every time they eat one or they mangle it like a joint you're like, yeah
I'll fucking break your fingers. You better eat that
Let me get another three of those. Oh my god
You know who took me there one time joe rogan
And joe rogan this gotta be eight years ago 10 years ago
We were at the store and we were starving because you weren't sushi. I got
Joe I got $8 in my pocket. What do I give a fuck? I'm not gonna lie to you
I thought we were gonna pink dot to get a sandwich
I had enough for a sandwich on an iced tea
He's like, no when it'll get sushi. I go dope before we go in there. I got $8. He goes. I don't give a fuck. Come on
I looked at the menu
They were like 20 bucks for three, right?
How much for three sticks?
Uh, no, no, it's more than that. It was I don't know what it was. It was it was I think they're like $9. He's like a $12. He's sick
First fucking time you ordered three at three table three dishes of yeah my heart just sunk
I'm like, I hope I don't get half this check. Yeah, and then he started ordering sockies and soups and I'm looking at this
I'm pleading 12s 18. It's just crazy. It's just a every every
22 24s
And I'm getting more and more embarrassed. No, no, no, I don't like that shit at all. Listen down the corner
There's a great little sushi spot Bruce buffer. It's
All you can eat take your chances. Okay, literally won like across the street. Oh my god
It's some hell isn't listening Hollywood sushi or something like that. Oh my god
We can spend 40 dollars. I love eating good, but there's some places you just avoid
You know when I say to you, let's go out to dinner. Let's go out to dinner
Once you start ordering those $12 cocktails my leg starts tapping. Yeah, you know after I count the second one
I'm like, what the fuck are we going for here? This is just
80 and cocktails. I've never seen that because I don't drink. Yeah
I don't like my friend. He's got a sister that they got her and her husband boy from go out every night
They they go on facebook
They're always drinking a pale ale from this place
And she just had to take another part-time job and I go that's because the drinker
They they cannot be surviving on what they're making and drinking every night. It's pretty crazy, dude
It's crazy being a comedian. It was easy because you're not paying for shit
But how people could go out and be an alcoholic and go out to bars every night
Is beyond me especially there's no dive bars in the city, correct? Are you going to four dollars dives?
I mean very few when I started drinking in New York City. I was 20 years old
We started going to a place called the village idiot on 14th street in 9th avenue and that place was fucking garbage
Like it's stunk like you walk in and it's smell you can smell the bathroom place down the corner from there
I'll cross the street
Goodfellas pizzas that's still there
But this place was a fucking like the type of place where all the bartenders were just fucking
In bar in bras, but they were like trashy. They weren't even hot. They were just fucking like slutty chicks
And it was like peanut shells all over the floor, but it was it was five dollars and 50 cents for a but ice pitcher
A pitcher and then it was a two dollar shot of like well whiskey
So we would get fucking and not literally $20 you walk in you're annihilated dude. Just fucking annihilated
And we we just get into fights. We would fuck chicks in the bathroom. It was like the craziest time
Um, so yeah, I guess that but I don't know any place that's like that in New York City where it's cheap
Like legitimately cheap
They used to be a place called Manhattan Honda is that close to that 14th and I think it's 14th and 8th
See where Manhattan Honda is Lee if it's still there
And I used to have a friend that worked at Manhattan Honda
So he would tell me if you're ever in the city come over and say hello
We'll have a cocktail and then I had a girlfriend who lived across the street
So it was like stealing I go see her and then I go meet corky and we'd walk down to this bar
That was where is it?
1111. Yeah, so it was close to this. He had on the dealership. Yeah the car dealership
You really there's definitely all of your references about New York are based off of where car dealerships are
This guy worked there. So he introduced me to a certain put that part of New York. He knew all those bars and shit
So one night me my buddy the gearhead who's now a freeholder in north bergen and that guy
I met him over there and we went for a drink
And we go to this place on it had to be I don't know if that's 11th and whatever
This is two blocks away either or and it's like that bar shells on the floor
A little stage a bartender who was hooked on a crack just got out of rehab
She just picked up the shift because she walked in here
It's with that movie coyote ugly or the bar. It's like it's like a tourist trap
But that's what it kind of pretends to be this place was really that this place was only packed on the weekends
And it was like a couple like college students that were probably doing heroin and shit like that
I'm in there one night
And there's this black chick that you could tell she sucked a thousand dicks
Yeah, but she's at the bar working at jack
She got half a titties out
And the black dude sits next to her and that song comes on
What's your man got to do with me? I got him here me
I'm not trying to with what you and he just starts yelling at it
And he's trying to work her at the bar and she's saying no and that song comes on
I'll never forget this. I'm on the other end fucked up. There's pizza shells everywhere
Some chicks getting you can't go in the men's bathroom because some shit's fucking in there
It was crazy this place. I don't know that you described so close to it
And then below I remember this this guy kept saying what's your man got to do with me?
What's your man got to do with me?
What's your man got to do with me? I said fuck it. I gotta get the fuck out of here
What's your man got to do with me? I miss all that part of new york
Yeah, it's it's fucking it's hard now, man, especially it's so funny because comedians
In the beginning there's no money at all like at all
It's it's nearly impossible to make anybody do a comedy in the beginning
So it's like you're in the tough the best place to do it is new york city or la
But to be honest i'm gonna be like i think new york city to begin and to learn how to do comedy
I think that's that's one of the best places to do it
There's more places to get more freedom
Yeah, yeah, so I think like it's just kind of a weird ironic thing that
It's such an expensive city to live in just the the cost of living is so expensive
But then there's no money for the first few years. So you're just struggling
You can't breathe for the first few years doing comedy in new york
Well, here's the deal. So you got a really fucking one. I went to new york for nine months in 93
And I was rocking and rolling within
Two or three weeks. What is rocking and rolling me?
I was doing five sets a week
There were 13 comics in the room
Yeah, you know before where I had come from from colorado. It was dick. Oh, yeah
That's this is 94. That's all you care about a stage time and fucking you know, that's that's it, dude
Oh, yeah, but I always found a way to make a pretty good living and I wasn't selling drugs like a part
How are you making money when you were in new york city? Okay?
I got hooked up a friend of mine hooked me up
At the time it was called virginia. Can I take a piss dude? I'm gonna pee so bad. I want to hear this
Take your time

I don't know the science behind it, but I'm telling you right now. It's just thc now
Call Joe Rogan. He'll tell you an hour
It turns to something else in your liver
And it becomes hallucinogenic and you fucking ask Owen Benjamin
Ask red band when he called the ambulance twice. No
Yeah, he had to pull over on the one how many how many how many do you have to pull over?
This was years ago when it first started the craze. Nobody really knew
Nobody really knew what exactly it did to you. So you pop one
interesting question
For something. No, not interesting. What interesting before
It's funny because ever since
The last the last week
I've really been thinking about 1993 in my life
Yeah, that was a really deciding factor in my life to why I got here
That was the first decision big year. Well, what happened was
I got divorced. I was broke. I was out of options and I had to move back to new york
And I really wanted to do comedy like I was doing comedy by the year and a half a part time
I was doing it like here and there to pick up a fucking blowjob or whatever. Yeah, I really had to do
Were you protect because I remember my first year of doing comedy
I pretended that I didn't want to do comedy. I was just hosting shows and I was like, I don't really know
I wasn't even hosting. I was doing three minutes here two minutes here. Yeah, I was inconsistent
I wouldn't write but when I went to new york, I went out at night
But immediately when I went to new york, I got a job
dropping off packages for
It's amazing like how much hustle there was back then
There was a job dropping off packages. Hello packages to businesses for like AT&T
I forgot virginia and something. Yeah, it was like an AT&T division at that time
I had I had that job for like two or three months and the kid goes, you know what? We're gonna switch it to
Brooklyn and I didn't want to go to Brooklyn every day like they were gonna move zones
I was with them towards the end of new jersey and all the Manhattan and upper Manhattan
There was three or four of us. They paid us 400 a week and all we had to do was drop all 20 packages, bro
Like it wasn't hard at all
And then I went on backstage. Is that still out in new york?
Yeah, but all those things are kind of dying now because of the internet the internet
So put those things out there. Yeah, but those things had jobs
All catered to comedians actors
Selling it making insurance appointments. What are you fucking kidding me? They give you 10 an hour
And 25 an appointment and 35 more if they sell the fucking you know stupid shit
Yeah, but you're making a living dog. Yeah, but you got to focus on
You gotta focus on it. I was like it's 17 year old dude. They had a I had a fuck it was like a whole
Like 30 fucking telemarketers in a room just calling up old people trying to get them to uh, it's like
Refinancing their mortgages. Yeah our whole goal and I have no idea. It was a shady business
Was to get their social security number you get the social security number. You got 12 bucks. You got everything else
You got eight bucks. It's so we were literally just we were destroying these old people's lives
They had teenagers doing it
We didn't give a fuck dude because you get that 12 dollars every time 12 dollars
So if you were good, I was a monster
I was I just knew numbers dude. There's a ratio boom play the ratios keep on going keep on going keep on going keep on
Going and I was just just dialing like a motherfucker
It was an awesome job, but I know that I ruined probably
Three or four hundred people's lives completely old people probably a few suicides in there
It's like your family's just losing it all
I don't know what they did with the social security numbers. It wasn't good. No, no
Before the there's before the internet so nobody could look it up, dude
There was no like it was the better business bureau at the time like there was like there was internet at this time
But it was like you'd have to like go to the better business bureau website and look up to see if somebody took a claim
Now there's fucking help for everything
So you could easily find out if somebody's shady in terms of business
But back then you could fucking people were just crushing it. Oh, it's amazing
I sit here some time. Look, you were talking about lighters before
They're stealing stupid shit for a long time when I was in my real loser fate of life
My mentality was if you're that stupid to leave it there, I'm gonna steal it
Yeah, which is a horrible mentality. Well, not somebody learns a lesson. Yeah, I think it's if you get away
With it. I forget what there was a movie where they talked about that
It was a great scene in the movie
But I was like if you can get away with it, you kind of that's your payment, you know what I'm saying
which I kind of under there's like a
You know the
You know an honor honor an honor and thievery type of mentality
Which I kind of I always like in a movie like I always kind of root for the thieves and like, you know
That always kind of plays to me in a weird way. I grew up fucking
Like I tell you my mom would my mom would teach me to steal fucking testers when we go to a Baxter's pharmacy
And she'd be like, yeah, I go and like take me to like the perfume testers and if they catch you tell them
It's my birthday and just start crying
They've been bedded in my head when I was like six and seven years old. That's like some crazy fucking
No, my mom didn't like buying that unless it was stolen
It's crazy unless somebody brought us something stolen from a truck. She didn't like it. I don't want nothing. I don't want none
it's funny that uh
So to fucking tell you something when I forgot what the fuck it was god damn it
It's funny that you said that before I
I
You know, you just had these wild fantasies as a father and what you want for your child, you know, yeah
And I sit here some times and go, you know, I said that statement Lee because first of all
I'm gonna talk her into
Like I would talk your son until Lee
When he's 17 and he comes to me and goes on kujo
You think I should be on the fucking radio like you and my dad. I'm like, oh fuck no
It was a different time then, you know, there was hookers and shit now
I'm gonna go, you know, maybe go to college, but not right now. I want you to learn something first
I want you to learn about people. I want you to learn about human
Nature and I think the best thing
To teach somebody about that is belly of belly sales. Yeah
Belly of belly sales makes you realize this bullshit is out there. I'm going out to my car for my license
I'll be right back. What happened to that guy either say that are you that stupid?
Are you that fucking moronic? No, but he said don't believe nobody
And then you really learn about society and after a year come back to me in a year
That you keep one job steady for one year. You don't give a fuck. You're just gonna grind it out
Yeah, there's nothing better out there. It's just a job
You're gonna live at home. You're gonna eat at home. I'll even give you a little fucking extra spend
I'll make your car payment do this for a year. Yeah
And I help you out. You can bank your money and I'll give you 50. You know what I'm saying like just so they learn
What's out there before listen, man, most people and even me
As fucking slick as I thought I was
When I was going to college
Once you decide you got to do something with your life. It's fucking scary. We've had this conversation before Lee
Four years is over, bitch
Four years is over the diploma. You got to become a five beta kappa. You got your dick suck now
You got to go find the fucking job. It's fucking scary out there
I almost feel like it's starting over. You go find the job now. You got to go through now
You have to learn how to find the job
You learn how to find a job then learn the ends you got to start from the bottom of that bottom again
Then it's like 10 years later. You've wasted your whole life on some fucking job. You hate your now
You're 28 to 30 years old. You wasted your whole life. You're like, holy shit, dude
I fucking hate this and this is what I have to do. That's what sucks about the school model and that fucking thing
I think like I would encourage my kid to be an entrepreneur
I would encourage my kid to fucking, you know, not necessarily like
You know, I want him to like come to me. It's a here's the thing, right? He's in preschool right now
And this is what I love about his preschool
It's like a play based preschool name all these stations set up when he walks in
And the idea is he goes to what he wants to do and then the teachers come around to these different stations with the kids
And they kind of as the kids are playing
Uh, they kind of inject the lessons about math and reading and the different things that they can do around what the kids are
Kind of interested in so it's a it's a pretty progressive kind of cool way of teaching these little kids
And I think that's kind of a microcosm for for kind of how I want my kid to like look at life
And how he how he does things and chooses to do things in life
It's like do what you want to do. You'll figure out how to make the money around it
It's an old stupid fucking saying, you know, do what you love and the money will follow
Yeah, but it's legitimately a real thing and I kind of believe that, you know, I believe it too
No, I believe it in terms in terms of the sale. It takes a lot of courage to believe it
it takes a lot of courage to sell it to people but
If you dive into something and you hold hardly diving like when I don't want to stand up dog
I don't I bought it. I bought the whole flag. I knew
What I got a job at a comedy club and asked the comics questions
And even though they all said you don't want to do this. You don't want to do that
I knew that what they were avoiding and that's why there's somewhere else now
I was never scared of work or hard work. Yeah, I knew that for four years. You gotta live like a no man
What does that mean? You can't have much. That's it. Can't have much. Well, that's a it's like comedy college
It's comedy. You go out there. You know, there's very few people
You know, there's like two or three that make any money before that like, you know, like it's it's not even exaggeration
There's very it just doesn't happen
So you're paying your dues, but that's what I was saying before about being in new york
Because that's a fucking tough place to pay your dues
LA is great, dude
Pay your dues out here. You're fucking it's beautiful. Weather rents cheap. Yeah, but everywhere you're gonna pay your dues is tough
I paid my dues in denver in seattle
You know
I mean the beginning you're just an open miker both those places have uh legal weed now. It's kind of interesting
That's fucking crazy. So back then you know what it's? Yeah, I started in denver and I
Was an open miker
I didn't have to three or four months. You're like fuck this job
Yeah, you're like fuck this job. I want to be a comedian and then you go into this life of death
It just becomes zero. I was living off my credit cards and then once they want to ride
Mr. Gomez I was fucked
Yeah, and I started hustling I learned how to put together hustles
Like one of the hustles that you said to me. What did you do in jersey league? Take notes, bitch
My buddy hashway came to me and he goes
died
I'm gonna buy a car you could use it
What I want you to do is pay me off the car and buy that for $200
You could use it around jersey. Don't take it into the city. I'm gonna get insurance for here
But it's your car pretty much. He goes. I want you to become partners with me on my breakfast
He goes
Think about it. Let me know what you think and I asked him what he goes
I got people coming in but I really want to build my delivery service. What do you think?
And I thought about it for a week and I went back. I was doing comedy
And I was really into the comedy scene. I wasn't getting nowhere though. I was just bombing in new york every night
You pay three dollars to give you a drink ticket
Yeah, but in those people some places you had to bring people in those days
Some places as long as you bought the three dollars and you got the drink ticket
They didn't give a fuck if you bought and that's what I did. I just zipped into places
Did six minutes bombed and would ask myself what the fuck am I doing?
I said the one thing that's cool now is in new york. There's a whole open mic community where there's no fee
Nothing like that. You just go up and they support each other. Yeah, no, that's I knew it would grow at this time
It was still a lot of clubs a lot of action
Seven nights a week. There was fucking 10 open mics in new york and all the five barrels. It's it's tremendous
Jersey, I would go to this fucking st. Rocco's play. I mean it was just it was just great, you know
But I wasn't getting nowhere. I was spinning my fucking wheels. It was the beginning, you know
So I said I got to figure out a way how to make a fucking living too in those days. It was 25 a gram
for
Cut and 35 for uncut
It's right on 178th street weed was 10 and five dollars still
I wasn't doing bad with that either because all I had to do was go over the bridge for people and shit like that
So I figured out a way to get I I went into I went into hashway one day and I go dog
I need for you to pay me eight bucks and I would make phone calls
And I called all the
I went in the yellow pages and I got all the businesses in the area
I got in the car and I would any place that was a mile away
Body shops
Anything and I went in and go let me get you faxed them. I'm gonna fax your menu every day
And every day I get that fucking 9 30
And I'd start faxing numbers
Just press it was one sheet and just press the numbers and other and I'd be there for 30 minutes
And dog next to you know order started coming in he went from three deliveries a day the 10 to 15 to 25
What's the soup of the day? It was my own fucking department. Yeah, you know, I was walking out of that one time
Bro, I was in shock when I did the math now
I was making 80 dollars a day in tips. That's 400
Plus another fucking, you know, he was giving me another two or 300 a week. Yeah, I was making 2800 delivering fucking sandwiches though
2800 and still wasn't paying my bills
And I was fucking doing open mics and I was probably driving a limo
I had eight jobs at one time when I was in New York when I was an open miker
I mean, that's just I was I had a big nut
And I had a big addiction
Yeah, and I had to pay rent. I had no car
I had the I had the hashways car and then I got a job driving limos because the guy gave me a fucking limo
It was tough, man. Yeah, it's tough out there. I can't imagine now
Where they've cut some of the hustles
You know now, what are you gonna do if you just want to sell weed see an open miker
Could sell weed
Well, I think the problem now is like people also
That they get to keep on going on because everyone's online. Everyone's interconnected. Everyone knows what's going on
So people aren't like dropping off as much like and then also in New York now. It's not even like that
It's not like 10 of mics now literally in New York City. There's like without even exaggeration
There's probably 200 shows going on tonight if you count everything
Between all the five boroughs easily now the comedy cell is packed
The stand is packed and it's packed. There's two rooms. I got the village on a comedy cell
The village underground which is packed huge room comedy cellar village underground is packed
The stand is packed
And then there's just a bunch of clubs the New York comedy club got them is packed Gotham's always doing well
Clear comedy club. Is that Al Martin still? Yeah. I'm orange in New York. Oh, no. No, he sold the New York comedy club
He sold it. Okay. He's Broadway still and he's got another one right by the comedy cell called Greenwich Village
So, I mean, there's there's like there's like 15 clubs, but then there's all of the other there's independent rooms
There's like another like 30 like cool like independent bar shows that are like hip and like, you know
the industry comes to and then there's a bunch of shitty open mics and
Craziness, but yeah, it's great. Do New York's New York's a thriving place
But it's also a fucking shit ton of comics and aren't doing anything
And it's like there's no barrier of entry. So it's just kind of like the competition just keeps on rolling in, you know
Me, I'd rather right now if I was an open mica
I'd go to michigan. I go to chicago
Develop an act go to houston develop an act first and then come in and have tempi
I go to portland. I go to seattle. There's so many markets that you could go in
You're still gonna struggle
But it's going to be a little easier struggle
You know live with three dudes in a two bedroom. You might have to live on the couch or under the stairway
But you know, you're gonna be a bar back three nights a week
And also movie theater when you come to new york city or la and I started in new york city
And you know, I know dude, you're fucking starting off being somebody where everyone has their eyes on you as you're not good at comedy
Yeah, you're not gonna be good for a few years. So if you work for a few years outside of new york
Get good and come there you have, you know 15 minutes that you're gonna press people with you're gonna be in a good position
Well bro, you went to new york when he had 20 minutes 15 years ago
You know, that was good. He was developing in seattle. Mitch headberg
Already had an hour or two when he moved to new york. Yeah, you know, that's one thing
Here's the thing if you're good, you'll make an impression right away. Yes, people want here's the people want good comedy
It's it's like, you know, and there's a lot of shit comments. You kind of stand out when you're good in new york
What about just as a person like not as a a comedian is it still worth it to live in new york city?
What do you as a person?
Yeah, because like it's always depends on what you want to do
Everyone's a fucking rock star in new york
The attitude in new york city is if a celebrity walks past you on the street
Just if you work in a fucking banker or the library your attitude is like, uh, who gives the shit
I don't give a fuck because the average banker thinks that they're the fucking rock star of their bank, you know what i'm saying?
So
There's like an almost like you ain't shit type of attitude in new york city
So you almost have to kind of have that if you want to go there
Because I don't think anybody's going to new york city to kind of be happy and content with not
Making it quote-unquote whatever in whatever industry you're going into. It's too. It's too high of a risk
Why wouldn't you just move to the suburbs and do something else? You know
Okay, oh, I see what you're saying. I mean, I don't really think i'm that cutthroat
But it's always been a dream of mine to live in new york city. So I mean, I think eventually at some point
Not really, you know
I mean, I'm in the industry, but I'm not I don't think I wanted to stand up
um
But I don't I ever since I was a kid visiting new york from boss and it's just
I love boss and it's like it's it's it's my home
But new york's a different feeling new york and as soon as you get as soon
I remember getting because I always used to take those buses and they drive through harlem and as soon as you get into harlem
It's it's it's it's a different feeling. Please start screaming because black people are approaching the bus. Oh, it's terrifying
But um, I had illusions of grandeur move my family in new york
I always liked the idea walking around the upper west side
Holding hands and walking to school like I did
And doing spots and I got the reality that I couldn't afford to live on the upper west side
So I have to live in fucking middle of new jersey somewhere, which I wouldn't know you could afford to live in the upper west
Fuck no, I can't no and I wouldn't do it. Not problem. I
I don't listen man. I think you do believe I'm not moving into a fucking apartment. No, well, that's the thing
You're not gonna fucking have like I'm sure what you have out here is fucking
No, no, no, no, no, I can't go back. Well, you could for in reality, right? You got a daughter and a wife. Is that it?
Yeah, I need to bet. No, no, no, I have a bedroom. I need
Three bedrooms all together. Okay for a three bedroom apartment up or so. Were you used to 88th and Broadway?
Yeah, it's I don't know. You can look it up. No, it won't be that much. It'll be cheaper than that
Six thousand seven thousand. Yeah, that'll be that's a big stress level to put yourself on the way you're my age
You can find you can find it for you can find it for five if you really look now
Probably six seven. Listen, man, I wouldn't want to put my side
I wouldn't want to start the month minus seven for a fucking apartment. Yeah, that's expensive with a rat downstairs and
No winter I can't do it. I'm thinking in terms of a one bedroom, which is like yeah. Yeah, no
Check that price out. Yeah
Lee, what would you do in New York that you just want to do like uh, I'm not I'm not going anywhere anytime soon
I'm just saying one day. Yeah, eventually
Like it just seems like a place the place to be like I I honestly thought
I'm trying looking for these stats. No, it's okay. Um
I honestly
Thought when I was going to college and I would end up in New York. I didn't think I'd be in LA
But I got a I got a job offer. So yeah, yeah, dude. I didn't fucking dude. I didn't fucking like New York at all when I first
Move there. Really?
Yeah, I would visit with my friends like once in a while when I was like in my teenage years
And it was just too much dude
There's too much fucking craziness and too much noise
But then you start to realize that that's only like Times Square. Like that's not like oh, yeah, I hate Times Square
Times Square is the worst. Yeah, you know a little like cool areas
You go to Chelsea or like, you know, health's kitchen or like, you know, lower east side
There's like cool luck pockets that aren't like
chaotic like that, but
Yeah, dude, it's fucking I don't know man. I
New York City is a fucking I don't I don't know if I want to raise my kid for the rest of my life in New York City
So, oh, yeah, like that's the thing. I don't think you could I mean granted
It's these are just my opinions without having a kid
But I don't know if you could raise a kid in the city
So that's why if I did it it would be before I had kids. That's why I'm no you I do raise a kid in the city
We currently live in live in the city with the kid
Is it is it harder? It's way harder. I mean, dude, I'll tell you now like not driving like do what here's the thing
When I live in New York City with a child, you got to leave a half an hour early for everything that you would just do alone
Just fucking walking dude. He walks and you can't fucking drag him. You gotta fucking like my mom
I probably would have just dragged me and fucking
Grabbing my leg and dragging me down the street when you caveman
But you can't do that, you know, so you literally got to walk your fucking kid
And he's now in an age where he just is too big for me to put him on my shoulders
He's fuck almost four. He's he's big too
Um, so yeah, it's a dude. It's a lot harder, man
You know, it's also like it's like kind of fucking dirtier like, you know, I got at my hand
I don't want my kid's hand on a fucking guardrail on this New York City subway
I just thought about the money
I thought about the winter time. I thought about the nut I would have to make
I thought about the drive to Kennedy airport or Newark or whatever
and I thought about my life here that
You know, I'd have to move Lee out at first to do the podcast find him in the fucking apartment
You know, you know, they just they would be living fucking. Oh, Lee would love it on a couch with Coney Island
Yeah, leave him live and totally even give a fuck. I would have to live on a couch these prices are ridiculous and
You look at what nut you have to make and you have to be realistic. I'm not 30 fucking
Oh, my god, that's 32. You could sell me a boat about anything and I would think about and go now
I know what that nut is. I know what that nut is. I know what that nut is at the beginning of the fucking
And I know what the fucking cabs are. There's something about
There's something about like the quote
I almost feel like mentally I really mean this and you know, it's with sales too
So like let's say you had a sales goal, right? Whatever the sales goal was for the month, right?
Just typically, you know, if they made the sales goal, let's say five more units that month or the next month
You hit it. You hit the goal, you know what I'm saying? So if the if the nut needs to be bigger
I just think is it with a sales mentality? You would just make a bigger nut. You know, I agree with you
I would do that. I've been doing that all my life. So you would just that's not the problem
I don't think it would change your like the problem. You would be I'm paying seven g's for a fucking apartment. Is it seven g's?
All right, so what three g's a month that could be going into an account for my door
Okay, so there's downtown midtown
Upper west side, upper west side. Okay. And you want a three bedroom?
Yeah, a walk up starts at six thousand
Oh walk up and an elevator door man starts at 72 grand just to pay rent a grand for an elevator
You want an elevator door man, dude? You don't want to fucking walk up. No, that's what I'm saying
No, no, I dream about walking up fucking
That's what I do every fucking day. No, I walk around going. You know what? I'm gonna move out of here because there's no
Fucking steps. I want to walk up full flights of fucking steps. I see steps. I get inside. No, they
They're fucking healthy and healthy for some people. I don't like stairs. I see stairs and ruins my appetite
That's nothing about New York City. Fuck that shit. I got in the summertime. It's been august lee. Oh, dude
It's it's fucking 98 degrees
It's humid as fuck. There's dirt in the air. You can't breathe. You got to walk up subway steps
Sometimes you find you hit a certain thing where you're like deep in brooklyn
You realize you had to walk up by four flights of stairs on the subway in the summer
It's fucking awful, dude
And then you got to do it with a baby now imagine you got a three-year-old that you got to carry up these fucking stairs
It's craziness
No, thank you. I'm 53
Eight g's a month. So when I look at something now, I have to look at it for the family
How's this affect the family?
I have friends that have kids and they put themselves in holes
And and and look at them and I go, how can you put yourself in this hole? Yeah to be cool
You know to have like a motorcycle or something. What are you fucking crazy? Yeah, every movement I make
Is around my family has to work out for them. Of course, you know, I tell people people get pissed off being on my schedule
I got a crazy thing about my my agent called me last night
He said don't these people offered you this you should definitely take and I said what week is any game in the week?
I go, that's three weeks a month
I go, I got a room. He goes, yeah, but you should really do it. I go listen
I take it when I got I got a family

The special came out. It's over
Congratulations, by the way, thank you. No, no, no, it's a lot of so
You know when I any move I make I gotta think about my family
I know you were friends and with type but every move I make I gotta think about them
How does it affect them?
You know these people call you for all this shit and they get pissed at you and you're like, you don't understand
That doesn't benefit them
I can't take them with me to fuck. I just got a call for some comedy festival in Louisiana
And the guy called me back. He's like, I don't understand why you can't do it
I go the money's fucking terrible
And I can see if I brought my family down on me, but I'm losing
You're taking me away from my family for a third of what I make
I gotta stay at home with them
I don't want to be that comic that goes on the road every week

We have lives man. I don't want to be that guy. I saw what that does to people
Every week to be on the road. Fuck you my friend. Fuck you

I like taking my daughter to school and picking her up and
You know going to lunch with my wife to some shitty taco place or going to see a movie

I knew out of three actors I like see
The giant turd

This fucking forest Whitaker and his eye
That's okay. That's I seen forest Whitaker in other movies. Are you what you're saying? I don't like martians and fucking what's his name?
That's a proper introduction
More objects have landed around the world
This is one of 12
I'm never going to be able to speak their words. Got two days to figure something out
I am human
It's their language
We need to make sure it's great dude. I'm getting goosebumps right now. It's really good. It's good
Turn this shit off
Killing me over here. It's fucking great. The fucking took a 10 minute minute gap out of the podcast
Yeah, that looks good. Take this shit off warships and martians. Let me tell you something. You will fucking you will cry
You will cry your eyes out. I don't like nothing. No, he won't because he's not gonna see it
I'm not gonna go see it. Trust me. Oh my god. My wife will go see you. Give me a review
That was great. Anyway, my wife likes these movies
I don't like I don't like sci-fi either. I hate it. I like I don't like drama
I don't like sad movies. I like all that shit. I didn't hear martians
Dan Soder, do you know dan? No, he's a fucking great guy. He bought me a ticket to see this movie. I didn't know
I was like, I don't I don't want to see I didn't know what it was. He was a dude. It's great. Everyone's saying it's great
I was like fine
Sad fucking movie. I don't like sad movies. I've dealt with sadness in my life
So I don't need to watch fake fucking sadness. It's so funny to me that people go and watch it's the only people like cocoon
I don't remember it. I remember when I was a kid. I don't remember people. They jumped in the pool. Yeah. Yeah
That was okay. I didn't want to see that either, but that's a sad fucking sci-fi movie. It was a sad
It's good when somebody dies somebody gets shot in the head. It don't bother me much. I like comedy
I don't like movies that are designed to make you cry
Well, rocky ain't designed to make you cry cry like a bitch
Which one though? All of them. No rocky one part of rocky three. I cry. Mr. T
I don't think so
But I cried to all of them pop basically
Rocky, I love you. Oh that shit makes me go fucking bad anything with uh anything godfather got shot in the beginning
I cried anything about being a dad like that shit like now. There's all the kids movies too
You know, we fucking dads get killed in kids movies now good dinosaur
fucking uh
You know lion king, which is good. You got babies mom gets killed. You got to prepare them
They could come so you got to sit them down and go listen
I snorted a couple ounces in my day some badass
I swam in the Hudson. I had crabs from the Hudson. I hang out with Puerto Rican people
Most people live to their 74 most men. I might not make it there. So number one, let's do the best we can
And number two, I'm just letting you know people disappear from time to time
I gotta let him know you gotta let him know do you with your daughter when uh person dies
Because I don't even had a really deal with it because his grandpa just died is uh his mom's father
And you know, she you know, he doesn't really get it. He's four. No, they don't get it
But in the movie is they kind of like oh
His grandpa died
I mean listen, he just doesn't give a fuck really, you know, he's not there at the age
My dad died when I was that age when I was four years old my wife
My wife's father looks like fucking Herman Munster
If my daughter if he dies and my daughter had to go back and see him in that box
It would shock her for her life. She didn't want to know what the fuck this is. Oh, yeah
No, no, we didn't bring him to the funeral. She wouldn't know what the fuck this is. They don't understand that
I don't think I understood my dad's death at three. I don't think my mom took me down there
My mom no, no, I didn't go to the funeral my mom told me at four. I remember my mom telling me
I remember the blue sheets on my grandma's bed
She on my great grandma's bed. She sat me down. She said oh your dad your dad died
He's in heaven now. She was crying and I remembered not really feeling much. You know, did you go to the wake? No
Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, I didn't go to the wake
I'm in my mom telling me he died and I didn't really understand it for about a year
But I didn't go my mom didn't take me to the wake. I would just no
Yeah
I see it's kind of fucked up of that. Yeah, it's not at that age because you're you're so sensitive to your programming them
It's like to deal with that type of shit. I don't know, you know one of the worst things I ever did as a kid
That was about 10 or 11 and you didn't say New Jersey. My mom had the bar
This little boring girl got kidnapped
Little boring girl got kidnapped. They were missing for five days and they found both of them caught up dead
And I'll never forget that for some reason or another I decided to go to the wake
Jesus like I was just a young kid for no reason. I watched it on the news. It bothered me so much. How old were you?
Maybe eight nine 10
And I walked I was at McKinley. So I no no, I wasn't at McKinley
It was the summer of catholic school and I walked
to union city
and I stood online
And I walked past to dress. Did you dress like anything or you were just fucking dressed like a little kid just dressed like a little kid
I just something about those two kids dying. I felt like I was connected to that age. I don't know why
I just didn't know why I saw it on the news and I felt so fucking bad and after that
I remember that I never talked to nobody in a fucking car like when people pulled up next to me
the fuck you're talking about
It was really weird how these are the things you fear for for your child, man
You don't know how to break it down to my legs
But that was then you could fucking we were walking around and I was in the suburbs
So I was in the city
But even then the suburbs were fucked up too. There was pedophiles out in the suburbs
I'll please pedophiles ever we talked about this
You know about this a couple weeks ago. Yeah, I mean we were fucking walking around my mom. I mean
From the time I was five
On I mean four or five on my sister was two years older than me. She kind of watched me a little bit
But we would just go out. I mean we would disappear for the whole day. That's it
Did your parents talk to you about pedophilia when you were five or four ever?
My dad was murdered when I was four. My mom
My mom was pretty open with like a lot of fucking crazy shit. Like I was like, I knew what sex was my mom was like
You know, it's almost like over to a fault. Like she she didn't she fucked up
She was kind she was trying to like be open about shit and like teacher kids my mom too. She just fucked up
She didn't get how to do it the right way. She the the idea was right, but she fucking missed the target

I don't want to tell i'm not going to tell my daughter. I'm a standard for however long I could hide it. Yeah
However long the other day she came running in the office
And I was trying to everything. You know, they would send me notes for the special. This is about two weeks ago
They wanted me to cut the beginning. I left here. Me and Lee looked at it
And I took it home and I I we went home. I went home that next day
I was trying to write the minutes and she came in
And she goes daddy
And I thought she was gonna catch and she didn't catch it and she ran on she goes mommy mommy daddy's on the computer
I'm the pooter
Whatever fuck she says
My wife Peter Mike is this pewter pewter the pewter and then my daughter goes look mommy
And then I said something but she never really caught it and a couple weeks ago at school
Something happened where they asked her as your dad funny and she goes nah
And they all laughed and they were like he came in today and they said I said, you know guys
Don't fucking say no
You know they asked me at my kids preschool because I wrote it on the thing that i'm a comedian
That's what your occupation was. I should just write radio because I work as a sex exam
Um, but they were like, oh would you want to come in and do jokes with the kids?
I was like lady, do you know what the fuck I do like and then she told me she looked me up afterwards
At the parent teacher. She was like, she was like, yeah, I know we get it
I said look, I'll come I know how to juggle and I'll like joke around with the kids
And you could tell them that I work in like radio and stuff like that
We can maybe come in and they can record their own radio show because you know
But my kid thinks I do podcasting for work because I do a lot of podcasting
So, you know, he knows like, you know, when I go out to my studio and you know
Yeah, he doesn't understand what stand-up is, you know, and I tell I tell ridiculous jokes like
I fucking like my kid, you know, he should never I curse around them
No, I try not to I really try not to slip and he don't pick it up
No, he'll fucking he tells me she has if I cursed and he's like no dad
But then he catches me but then he gets to fucking say because he knows what he's doing
So I'll say fuck and he's like, it's like dad. You can't say fuck
And then I'm like, I'm like James, you know, you can't say he's like, yeah, but you can't say that I'm like
Oh, no, okay. Got me. She hasn't got me. Yes. Mother fucker
I gotta tell you why I love you so much
I'll tell you the rain reason why I love you so much. Why the last time you were in here
You fucked me up because I left here
And I thought about somebody who was really important to me growing up like he was a big bridge
And we're trying to put it together, you know, he's got the hiv
Yeah, you know, so uh, I remind you of a guy that has it
Bro, when he when we was 16, he didn't have the hiv right. All right, but he was one of the most solid dudes
I haven't met. He was cuban and french. Yeah, his name was deedy contero. He's got a brother carlos
And deedy was a bridge like I think about deedy now
Like dog this guy. He's called man child. He was fighting men when he was 15
Yeah, and he was a badass motherfucker. Yeah, we got into some fucking shit when we were kids, you know
I told his brother some of the stories because I didn't know you guys are doing that show like fuck. Yeah, we were robbing gas station
1516 we had it. We thought we had to figure that right. He had a devilish smile like you
But you know what my mom died he took right to me and every day we go back to his house
His mom would feed me and shit
They would give me the biggest piece of chicken and he would get mad as my mom
Why does he get the big piece of chicken because his mother died? That's why all right
He's your fucking chicken and you remind me a lot of him and I think about deedy a lot now. Let me tell you how deep he went
Just to tell you this guy people women would come up to me girls in high school come up to me and go
How do we get with him? Yeah, he was like a ladies man
You know, we were friends till high school. I left in 83 we lost contact his brother was wanted
They were looking to kill his fucking brother some gangsters and right before I left
They were looking to kill me too. Not the same people and I was at a shop right one of those places like in fucking
The other end of jersey and who do I see in the hallway? That's so funny. Shop right such a fucking where I grew up like
It's everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, I saw callos and I go callos and he goes
Don't tell nobody you saw me. I go callos. They're looking for me through. We start laughing. That's the last time I saw them
Years later. I go home and I go, what about the deed you go like bro, you better sit down
And they go this motherfucker
Because when we were kids we did a lot of acid, bro
There was a lot of nights that we just went straight like there was no recovery
We just did acid every night. We did acid for a week straight and we take two nights off
And then his brother would go out and we'd wait for his brother
We'd do a quailude and we'd drink a bottle of pupa vodka
And we wait for his brother to come home. We'd sit down till he gave us a line of coke
We were 15 16 were fucking kids man, you know
Years later. They told me he was the guy that pulled up next to you in the car
And asked you what are you doing right now on a bicycle with no shirt on
And he was just blowing guys at Hudson County Park
He just somewhere the mental health came in. Yeah, he had mental health issues in his family
He got the hiv from intravenous shooting and all that stuff over the years. They just found them
If i'm 53 he's got to be 49
They say that
You know, he looks good. He looks healthy if i have in that but he's working at a
Whatever the fuck you call it
Salvation army loading trucks. He lives there too. Yeah
He's putting it together. You know what i'm saying? It's rough
We grew up together, but his family was known for having mental health issues
Yeah, even the brother now when I talked to him sometimes it's funny in conversation
He goes, you know, my memory is not that good
I got hit in the head with a pipe a few years back and it fucked me up
And when he says that every time I laugh because every time I see him, he always says the same fucking thing to me
