May 1st. Coming at you. Oh shit. Here we go. Always in jeopardy, Cocksuckers.
Oh shit. It's a beautiful motherfucking day to be alive. And you're making it happen. Welcome to
the church of what's happened now. Uncle Joey, Steve Reynolds, easy and my main little fucking
Lee Syat. As usual, it was a beautiful weekend here in Southern California. Where were you?
I was in Columbus, Ohio this weekend. Nice. How was the weather? Rainy.
Rainy. A little rainy little human. You need a little rain in your life. Yeah, just a little bit.
Lee Syat, how was your weekend, Tarzan? My weekend, I was boring. I went to the ice house,
which was great. Saturday night, we had a good time. Eight o'clock show.
Eight o'clock show. And other than that, I just kind of rely. Yeah, I didn't do much.
Yeah, the Celtics. I miss that stuff. I love, I just like, when I'm watching, because I don't
know any of the players anymore on the Celtics. I know maybe two or three of them. I just like
watching the fans, because it just reminds me of going there as a kid.
They're good. And they got a good story this year. That kid lost his sister.
Right. So everyone's sort of on their bandwagon.
They're good, but they're good. They're sneaky good. And I don't know anything about basketball,
but I liked a few, like seven years ago when they won, because it seemed like they were doing,
like, KG was doing short shots, like maybe layups and some dunks, and Paul Pierce or Ray
Allen would shoot at three. Everyone on the Celtics team is shooting nothing but three.
Yeah, they're all in on that. That's their game plan. It bums me. I mean, it's great when you win,
but it's a new philosophy in the NBA. But how crazy is that? I don't know what the fuck you
guys are talking about. Like, I don't even have three points. I'm just banging them out there.
I haven't watched basketball, the playoffs at all. Like somebody just told me when I was
out being Utah, Golden State's going to be in town. They got Utah on Thursday or Saturday.
Yeah, they're playing each other. So I haven't even watched the playoffs. I think I watched
Alonzo Boden was on here talking about the fucking Clippers. Yeah, I watched them. They're just a
nightmare to watch. Yeah, they just lost to Utah. That's why Utah moved on. They're just a fucking
everything. Tightens up a little bit in the playoffs. It's the further you get. So
those threes aren't as open as much. So the better defensive, better, better team
usually ends up winning. But before we get this podcast started, I want to talk about something
last week. You know, we had Carlos Mincea. Why he called? He called. He apologized. He talked
like a man. I could have had him on the show and asked him about this or asked him about that. I
asked him about this. We all know what had been the result. We all heard the story already. I
didn't want to take the horse there. I wanted to take the horse down a different path. He told
you what he felt. You saw where his head was. And that's when we started the show. That's what
the show was about. It was about second fucking chances. Who gives a fuck? Just keep moving your
life. Somebody apologized. He called you also, right? No, he didn't call me. I thought he called
right as easy. He called you or something. No. He called a couple guys and apologized for his
behavior at the store and stuff like that. You know, so I took it as a nice little token. Hey,
you know what? Look, as someone who's made mistakes, I can't. What am I going to do? You know,
I'm one of those people, man, that if it wasn't for, like I told Joe two days later, I go,
you know, how many people have given me fucking chances? Are you kidding me? Are you
fucking kidding me? I'm here because of chances. I'm not here because I'm lucky.
Or because I outwitted somebody. I'm here because somebody turned an eye and I said,
I'm not going to do that again. And eventually after 200 of those, you get stronger and fucking
stronger. You know what I'm saying? This was a community project for me, but it's just weird how
some people do fucked up shit in the country. And for three years, like I never saw the guy from
Seinfeld again, the guy that rich Michael Richards. Yeah. He threw through the tirade
at the laugh factory. Like I never saw him again. Well, some people, I don't know if stand-up is
as important as some people to continue to do it after you've made an a public thing. You know,
and I'm not putting any, I don't know how important it is to him, but you know what I'm saying? Like
maybe it's, he's probably done other things, but maybe going on stage stand-up wise is not something
he does anymore. You know, I don't know. But you know, if that's what you do, then you just,
that's what, what are you going to not do what you do anymore? No, I know. Listen, man, it's just,
I remember one day somebody getting criticized for having the Tiger Wood hat on. Like in the
media, somebody said, you know, how can you trust somebody who backs Tiger Woods? And Tiger Woods
was fucking a kid when all that shit went down. You can't judge a man's life by the actions he
does when we're fucking kids, when we're 25, 30. When you're, you know, I was watching a pilot
today and I'm starting to talk about it on stage, how 50 is a fucked up age. 40 and 50,
it's a big difference. Yeah, I turned 40 this year. Yeah, you're running on fumes.
A month and a half. You're running on fumes and the beauty is you know it. At 40, you're running
on fumes. Yeah, I am. You kind of know it and you kind of know it and you kind of feel it and you're,
you're thinking you're going to stumble onto something that will take you to the next level.
But at 50, you see that the 20s was just a big mistake. Like the 20s is just a mistake.
Mistake how? Mistake in the sense that you did every dumb choice you could possibly make?
They give us all this freedom between the ages of 17 and 20 and we're fucking morons, 80 percent
of it. But I would argue the fact that what if you made every single fucking right choice and
that you're 20s, right? And you're 50s and you're going, you could be making every poor choice then
because you never fucking made all those dumb mistakes. Well, that happens also. That happens
also. Okay, you're born, your parents own a construction company, billions of dollars. You
know what? You work 10 hours a week. They give you Mercedes Benz. They're not doing, you know,
favors. You went around the world. You never even had a splinter in your fucking hand.
Your brothers rode with their fucking slaving and the fucking things, sending out wood,
building fucking buildings, you know. And you know what, man? When you're 38, something happens
that one of your brothers has a gambling problem and you didn't know about it and also when they
come and shut the fucking thing. So your bandwagon is done. You got to get, you got to build something
out. Now you have to do something with your fucking life. And now you've never done anything.
You've never done anything. You have no life experiences but going to parties. Yeah. And
how to make a margarita. No people skills. No. And that's when your life tightens because
those people from the party world, they're just as worthless as you are. So there's no help there.
No. So that's your first, that's your first fucking blow that your friends, these friends you had
over the years that you thought when they, when you had a pound of blow, 20 people call you.
Doesn't take much. You want 20 people call you? I'll give you an answer below and put it on
Twitter. I got people coming to the house with limos. You're the best guy they ever met. They love
Jews. They love whatever you want to love. It's just fucking weird how, and now I see how
from being here for 20 years, you start to see things and you start to see patterns.
Like a young guy with a big ego. I don't even pay attention because I see the crash coming.
I see the wall about to hit him. You don't, you don't even need to do anything.
Some young actor's catching your face and calls you a bunch of names. You just giggle and go give
it time. Within three years, something will happen. Even Britney Spears. We all saw what happened
with Britney Spears. For six years, Britney Spears couldn't cross the street without getting in
trouble, getting tortured. She made it all go away. Think about Britney Spears. She made it all go away.
She didn't pay nobody off. She just disappeared. She just got away from them. They couldn't,
they didn't give a fuck. She's still irrelevant. You want to check Forbes and see what she made
last year? Oh yeah, she got that Vegas. She's still relevant. No, I'm saying she's still relevant.
Oh yeah, she's still relevant. Yeah. You know, she's still relevant, bitch. You know,
check her fucking paper, a little paper. She probably gets a hundred million a year.
And she's quitting. This is her last year. Well, she's probably turned in, what is she?
I would say 32, 34. No, she's older than that. Five. I mean, I'm turning 40 and I feel like she
was a kid at some point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 36 maybe. Britney Spears probably 36.
Yeah, 36. So maybe, you know, they never retired. Oh yeah, she's turning 36 in December.
Who the fuck do you think you're dealing with? Some novices? Come on, man. Come on, now.
Well, we were talking, I think it was Guns N' Roses made $210 million from April to April.
They did that tour. Just been touring. That's crazy. Listen, man, 50, 60, 80 dollars.
I went to ACDC with Tripoli at Dodger Stadium on a fucking Monday, sold out.
$51 was the cheapest ticket I heard anyone say that they had sold out. And they were doing,
you know, a hundred shows a year.
You know, you gotta remember, $51 fucking dollars for the cheapest ticket.
For the cheapest one on a Monday. Okay, so they go up to, I don't know,
how many seats are at Dodger Stadium? Those field tickets. They probably couldn't.
They don't make money selling music anymore. No, they got a tour.
So they got a bang at the gate like fucking animals to keep it together, you know?
$56,000 for a baseball game. So I don't know what it holds for.
So they probably, it's probably 40 with all the equipment and everything.
But think about this though. It's like, you think those guys want to still be out there fucking?
I mean, I know that they do. And they, the show, here's the show. And we all agreed.
It was unbelievable. But it was like one, two, like they would sing Thunderstruck and then it
would take like a 15 minute break. And then you would hear like, do, do, do, and then explosion.
And then the next song. So it was like 10 songs with like 10 minutes in between. It wasn't like
they were pounding them out. So you could tell they're tired.
What would they do in between songs?
Like rest or, you know, drink water, catch their fucking breath. They're, you know,
in their late 60s.
Are they? Is he DC?
Yeah, look up what, what's his name is. He's got to be, um,
Angus Young is probably 57 right now.
I would argue he's in, he's 60 to-
Type in Angus Young. See how old Angus Young is. The fucking singer. Yeah, he's 10,000 Brian Johnson.
That's why he threw him his ass out. That's why he threw his ass out and then placed him with,
you saw him with Axel Rowe.
He's 62. 62.
60 fucking two.
Yeah. You think he wants to be out there every fucking night? I mean, and he does.
Yes.
But it's like, I don't know.
The record label called him.
I think if you, I think if you, if you, it would be great if they could do an album a year
and then that made 10 million and then they didn't have to go on the road. They could do,
fuck, you know, 30 great shows across, across the world.
They know it as much as you know it. You don't want to hear fucking dick.
No. No.
You don't want to hear dick, no. When you go see AC DC has five albums with the original singer
and then like eight more with Brian Johnson. I'm just saying, I have no idea.
They have a repertoire that's fucking huge.
You know, they know if they go into the studio for four years, two years and buy material and rehearse
it and it's, it's the, the records they're going to sell, you know, they could just make compilations
and live albums and that's how good they are. Yeah.
The bands like that of that caliber can still do a live album. They've done it.
They've been around dog. I seen AC DC in 1980. What does that tell you? That's how long ago.
1980, 90, 2000, 2010. That's 37 fucking years ago. Oh yeah.
There was the summer of 79. I saw them with Ted Nugent at the garden.
They were opening up for Ted on the highway to hell tour, opening up one of the hottest
albums in the country and they were opening up for Madison Square Garden, August 4th,
1979. This is how deep my Jimmy Rolls.
And you know what? I went there with it. I went there with this girl. I was not dating her.
I just asked her at a party if she wanted to go see AC DC and she said, yeah,
and I got the tickets for like 12 bucks, 12 bucks. Fuck, you know, red sick tickets.
That's like, and that's, I mean, can you, it's still seating New York, right? It's still like
bop, you know, like fucking, like, you know, not clean what people do in Times Square.
No, this is 1979. This is 70s New York. This is drugs on the walk.
Yeah, you could get high. This is something that if I could have a chronological on a film,
like just a walk, like what you had to do, like what did even Steve Redizzi and Coco do
on the walk from your place to the guard, like the whole thing you would meet me
at your house in the North Bergen, New Jersey on the bottom of 39th street. Okay. Okay. So
my mom would be gone in those days. You come over and I take a high-naked from my mom
and we'd split it. I'd already have 20 Jones road. Pre-road ready to go. We already had tickets
in our thing and we maybe had THC crystal. I'm not sure. So what we did was
so we just, we walked to the park to see if we'd get a ride up to help. Yep.
If somebody gave us a ride up to hell, we gave them a joint. The hill that I'll show you when
I go home, you know the hill I'm talking about from the cemetery all the way up to Kennedy
Boulevard. You got to go past the crazy guy we talked with. With the Chinese store? The Chinese
store, that hill right there. 45 degree hill. Oh, this is brutal. This is fucking brutal.
But if there's nobody at the park, we're fucked. Now we got to walk up. Now we got to walk up to
by the Chinese store and that's where we first get our first drink of water. And then we walk
up to Kennedy Boulevard and on Kennedy Boulevard by the university, there'll always be three or
four guys hanging on outside. We go up to them and go look, dog, go inside and get me a beer.
And that was like that's where we lived. How old were you for this? Let's say I was
freshman going into sophomore year in high school. We would stop at the university and
I was two years old in 1970. Two guys would give us beers and then we drink those beers,
walking to the bus. That was another three-quarter mile walk and there was a hot dog stand before
the bus. You got yourself a separate hot dog for dinner. So you had something in your stomach
so you wouldn't puke. You don't know where you could eat for the rest of the night but you
know you got something right now. And then you ran to that fucking bus because every two minutes
there's a bus to New York City. That's the last stop before the bus is going to New York City.
So it's buses from down to surely going to New York City. You're on a bus or whatever and you get
on that bus and all of a sudden you hear ACDC music. You see somebody in the back because you
know they're going too. They're fucking going. So now you've camaraderie. You just felt this even
though you didn't know them. You looked at them for a while. You can hear their little fuzzy headphones.
Not even. This was, this was the only song you heard. And then you got off at Port Authority.
You walked downstairs. You walked outside and from the minute you hit 42nd Street, whatever the
fuck that is, in Times Square right there, like the block away, you would hear a mild ACDC
and you would walk those six or eight blocks to the garden with people running past you going
we're going to see fucking Angus and you're like wow. Look at New York fucking city. Yeah,
they were ready. And the closer you get to the garden, like we'd be walking on the side with
the post office across from the garden is the world's whatever. Yeah, on the 8th Avenue side,
right? And we'd walk up and there'd be, you know, hundreds of people outside with no tickets,
no money to go in. Just party. Yep. Just playing the vibe. That can't happen today.
Even if you wanted to. I mean, people would fucking get old blasters on the street,
drinking, smoking pot. I was going to say the drunk 14 year old. How many cops are around?
Like, what is the police presence at something like that? Four at the door. Four at the door.
So if you don't come fuck with the door, they ain't going to fuck with you. So if you're not,
if you don't like, if you don't have like a joint, you slam to the door and you're like,
yeah, they'll be like, gay man, get the fuck out of there. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There was four guys at the door. But if you're 10 people deep towards the street,
you just kind of party. You walked in, you went to your seats, the warm up band was playing,
you walked to your seats and the fucking, as soon as the band hit the stage and the lights went out,
everybody sparked. In those days, it was sparking. People would pass you joints. You're like, holy
shit. Like you hear about all these parties. Like when I was a kid, I go to Steve, what did
you do last night? Oh, I partied over it, over at Lee's house. I didn't really understand the
concept of the word party. Were you doing drugs and drinking with them? Oh, was it like the parties
I see on TV where people are twisted by the pool? The chicks are sucking your dick and everybody's
fucking and everybody's got a date. I didn't understand that concept. So, you know, it was
when you went to that garden or like the garden, especially, the garden was the one,
I caught a couple of good concepts at the garden where you, you know, you had meaning for an hour.
Yeah. Like your life had meaning because all these other 18,000 other idiots justified that
meaning you had for whatever. I went to see the who at the garden. I went to see Black Sabbath
with Van Halen open enough for them at the garden. Yeah. I went to see some great shows at the garden
plus Nick games out the ass. I went to see my favorite thing. I went to the garden. I used to
go see Julia serving with the sixes come in Christmas day and I once got tickets from Bobby
Hurley's dad, Coach Hurley and St. Anthony's gave me a fucking front row tickets out in Jersey.
Yeah. North Carolina playing rockers when they had a black dude named James Bailey that would
just slam dunk on your ass. I'll never forget that going to that fucking. So I really, there was
something about the garden that you felt something for. Yeah. It's like for some people, it's where
the lake is playing. They want to see a bunch of concerts there. You know, if you're from Pittsburgh,
you want to see a bunch of concerts at the old three river stadium. You know, there's just something
about being in those particular places. My dad took me one time. It was a Martin Luther King
junior day. So you had off on, but the Knicks always played a day game that day. So my dad took
me and my brother, the whole, all five of us, his mom and we went in because I was, I like basketball.
This is not something he wasn't in sport, but I like basketball. So we go and they're playing
Barclays playing the Knicks word of it. I think he was on Phoenix and it was the game where at
the end of the, he got into it with the ref. He jumped at the ref and you know, it's the end of
the game. The game's over. Kind of people are getting up to leave and then you see Barclay
jump towards the ref and then people, and I could see my dad like, all right, we're out of here.
Let's go. Everyone up. Come on. We did our fucking due diligence. Let's get on the railroad and get
the fuck out of here. It was crazy. You never knew. Like all that stuff, the garden wasn't about
going to the fucking game. It was about what happened on the way to the game and what happened
on the way home. Like that was always what you remembered those like the concert could have been
like I'll never forget one Monday I went to school and it was one of those East Coast days in April
where it's supposed to be cold, but you bring like a winter jacket and when you come out of
school, it's fucking a thousand. It's a thousand. You know, you're like, what the fuck? What the
fuck happens? The fucking newsman didn't tell me about this shit. Now I got to carry this fucking
parking home, carry the blocks on a bus with the book. Yeah, there's no cloud coverage. No cloud
coverage. Blazing on. Blazing. I know if you made it, he's out. I walked out of there and I saw this
RX-7 and it belonged to this cat we call the devil, right? His name was Mike Denny and he was five foot
two, three, but he was a state champion wrestler and he came from a really freaky family like
they were boat people. They owned, they re uh not boat
people they taught, they resurfaced ships so when a ship does a long haul they go in the
whole and on Newark and the Denny's had a company that would come in and you don't take away all
the rust, take the barnacles off put new fucking holes, new new windows, you know, restock anything
because when you're out there and see, you need that shit, all that shit gets fucking sea salt in it
So they would scrub it down. It was like a six-month process. Mm-hmm. They would have three ships at once
It was a there was a great business from the family made money
But Mike was the devil like his street name was the devil and I like Mike as a young age because he wrestled
He knew people I knew but every time I went out with Mike. It was always a by the way
I think he was one of those guys Mike as we speak today is doing Thomas life
From murder his wife the name they gave him at the age of 14 was exactly true
When you looked at Mike's eyes, you knew he was the devil. Oh, really? But I loved him
We're gonna come to the devil to his face like you like high and double some people will call the devil
Oh, well, some people go dog. What are you doing about his wife?
Some people go who what are you doing hanging out with the devil and I would hang out
They do creepy shit with the devil like creepy. Was he violent?
He would fight you he would hit you with a fucking cuz he was five foot two
Something you know, he would hit you with something to cut you. Mm-hmm. He was known, but he was old
He was one of those guys you give him 300 for an eight ball. He wouldn't come back. Oh, really
Reliable a bit. Yeah
Like you had to watch him like a fucking hawk and I'll never forget I come out of
He would cut you and no one reacted to that like he would cut you you
Somebody yeah, I see I see them I see them in action a couple times in New York City late night like morning
Because Joey reads people like you know how how Lee quarterbacks can read a defense real quick
So I think he knows when when you know, yeah, he's gonna turn for the worst and he knows when to get out of it
I know yeah
I know how to play with you how to get the best I knew how to always have money
There was always a by the way with crazy people, but I always had a by the way
Yeah, you're gonna drive me to the city. Yeah, so in those days. I had a godmother
Oh, it was the writer the story I told she used to sell coke on the 13th and fifth Avenue by the buy by
Central Park and that in the daytime was around me, but never had a night now
All these when they turn the lights out these fucking movies and TV. What's the one the walking dead?
Yeah, that's what this was this was the walking dead
Yeah, you would double park your car and I'd say give me five minutes. Let me go upstairs when I come down
You go Joey, I'm never bringing over here again. I just saw a girl get stabbed by a husband
I just saw a kid get run over by a car and they picked them up
It's one of those fucking neighborhoods like a junkie just got shot. No one cares
It was ninth from 80 to when I left there in 84 85
That neighborhood was nuts and I would make the nicest white people
Drive me over there one of them like I would call that 11 go listen. I got
You just lay that out. Yeah, I guilt right away. She go, what's the matter?
I go my teacher just called and he wants me to have these books
For class and she go how much do you need $90? Okay? Come over and get it and by the time I got over there
I would quality we're gonna give it a bump by the time I got that was 200 and then she I go you were awake and she
Go, yeah, and she go why you want a bump and I go nah
Just give me a small package to go and she'd give me like a grandma blow to go the worst coke in the world
It was horrific. You could do the whole package in 1980 and nothing would happen to you
It was like doing Sergio love coke. Nothing would happen
But she'd always give me cash to buy good coke
That's what I would do. Yeah, I'd buy good coke. I don't think that's what the cash was for
I thought the cash was for chemistry books. Yeah, but you know same difference chemistry chemistry
What's the difference? It's all a chemical leak
But I used to make the devil drive me to weird places
Like I knew people that sold coke from my after my mom died and I would still keep in touch with them in that time
Yeah, we want to ounce on the arm
Come to the South Bronx the only person who would drive me is Mike Denny and I would go Mike if you drive me
I'll give you an eight ball little do you know I had an eight ball cut in my sock
So I would take a
Gram and a half out and throw a gram and a half a cut in and give it to him
You always had a double prep prepare you always had to double cross them because he was always gonna double cross you
Yeah, anytime something will happen with money with him
Like if we tell you he was gonna get your gram for 70 bucks
It was gonna be 90 for half that it was gonna be six tenths like there was always a by the way, but
When I first started becoming friends with him, he had a girlfriend that was a model and she worked in the city
So he would drive her or some shit. I don't remember the whole story
But one day I come out of the high school and they is
And I go what's going on death and he goes nothing. I'm gonna get chillin
Blah blah blah blah blah he goes I was gonna take my girlfriend to the show tonight
But she can't go and I don't want to ask my creepy brother
Do you want to go and I go fuck? Yeah, who is it? He goes the new barbarians the new barbarians was the Rolling Stones
without Mick Jag
That's what that was. No, who's the front man?
Keith Richards and Rod Stewart got and Rod Stewart. It was any whoever showed up. Oh
Really, so it's like a sort of like a Rod Stewart was sort of a name. So it was Keith Richards. Yeah
And then I think Richard's Ron Wood. Uh-huh Ian McLaughlin the piano player
Stanley Clark was on the base
And I and the drummer was
The drummer. Yeah, it was Ron Wood and whatever the new barbarians
But the singers that were supposed to show up in the 12 city tour
Were Robert Plant, uh-huh
Rod Stewart Rod Stewart and there was somebody else. No Mick Jag. No, no Mick Jag at all
They kept it fucking tight from Uncle Mick
But every night they had somebody different like somebody Santana would show up and play with Keith or
Like it was a really interesting tour. So he I didn't know anything about you want me to tell you that I knew what the fuck
They were talking about. I knew the Rolling Stones. I had like maybe five albums at that time
I didn't know that. Yeah, I knew the same song as you know on the radio. Where was the concert in the garden the garden
So that we get there, you know, same thing. We went and got a package. He beat me out of five dollars
He paid for tickets, but I had to pay for parking. There was always a by the way with the devil
You know the same like there was always once we got there. We had to get a t-shirt for his girlfriend
Why would you keep going out with this guy?
Because he got enough to always want to I listen
When I was growing up, I had four or five different variety of friends
I didn't just hang out with Steve run is easy. Steve run is easy was my movie friend. He smoked some pot
He likes movies. He likes Italian food. Guess what I call Steve on Sunday nights
Steve's my man on Sundays. We go get a slice of pizza. We talk about the week
He tells me I was gonna get me a job doing union construction
And then we go catch a Charles Bronson movie and he goes home
He lives with his mother and his father
Steve wouldn't break the law if you wanted to but at the same time when Steve and me went home at 10
What's the expression? Uh
Loose something as the devil's workshop
Loosely lip-synch ships
Like I wouldn't want to go home. Oh idle time is the devil's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All I'm gonna do is 10 o'clock
I said then you go get me another kind of friend. I would go hang out with Mike Denny the devil
I knew I was gonna do blow with him. We're gonna get some type of drug
When you with Mike Denny, you were gonna end up with something a pill a tumenol
A bag of blow maybe a line of heroin with anything could go down with him
When I was 16 and my mom died, I didn't give a fuck about me. So when I saw Mike Denny
I jumped in that fucking rx7 and we had a good old fucking time
Thousand ten and 90% of the shit we did was Rob
But again, he was one of those guys that would go listen a ship just came in
And they got a box of watches. Let's go rub the wallet. He was that crazy
So we'd have to climb a fence behind the shipyard and fucking walk through mud and we'd hear dogs
And we'd have to go get and he knew all the combinations and shit. I was gonna say Denny
Yeah, how accurate was the information always solid but always always something I paid they it was always something different
There's 30 watches. We're gonna get a hundred dollars a piece for the watches
That's three grand. We'll split it 1500 a piece. So you don't have to sell the watch. No, all I had to do is go steal
He already had a drop off point
Next day
You're not gonna believe what happened six of the watches were damaged
You're only gonna get 800, you know shit like that. Yeah, he paid you and that was the beauty of it
There was always gonna be a fucking by the way
That's what made it interesting
The worst thing that ever happened with me and him
That always stuck in my mind just to let you know guys. It was new year's day
And we went to see aerosmith at the Nassau Coliseum
Aerosmith was terrible the tickets were terrible the drive was terrible
But we were on kelly boulevard
and on the jersey side
And it had to be maybe 12 30 at night on a sunday night
New year's fucking day. Okay. Who the fuck goes out?
Our aerosmith decides to do a show new year's fucking day
But me and the devil around we took a hit of acid
We took like fucking this powerful fucking acid at the time
And I'm tripping my ass off listening to get your wings by aerosmith in the car
That's one of my all-time favorite albums
And I see red lights
And we pull up
And it's an rx7 just like Mike Dennis
And it hit a tree
And
It had split right through the fucking middle
This guy was dead
He was done
But she was stuck
Okay, she was stuck now. We're on acid
No, this is real. This is going on. Yeah, we're on a hit of acid. Oh, we're like
We're like the sixth people on the scene. I would leave that scene immediately
Okay, we're like like it's a couple of guys yelling and screaming like are you okay?
And she's like help me help me in the middle of all this an ambulance comes along two ambulances
Fire department and they have fucking soars and they're telling the girl. Are you okay?
And she's like, yeah, but my boyfriend's dead
And bubba bubba bubba bubba and we're fucking standing there frozen
You guys pulled over and stuff. Yeah, we pulled over legally. We didn't go nowhere. There was there was debris all over the fucking road
Oh, you were dry. She had a fucking she had a fucking pole. Yeah, somebody cut them off and then hit them
Like somebody I can't guys. I'm not a crime investigator. What I do know
Was that the fucking car was split in half?
He was dead his side of the he was crushed his head was exploded
There was blood everywhere and she was still alive. Oh like it basically
But that tail had been hit and there was another car the window was smashed and the guy was unconscious in the front seat
There was no airbags in those days. There was none of that. No, no
None of that shit. So we get out of the car
She's yelling
The fucking fireman like get out of the way get out of the way the cops come they put a fucking yellow tape
So I go back to you and then it's one o'clock in the morning. Just the red lights
I'm tripping my balls off. Did anyone ask you any questions or anything like that?
Like did you guys see anything? No, we just came up right now. There was like two cops there already
Oh, we there was like a cop car already there and he he knew when the he was looking at people
I can't believe you drove on acid now. I'm watching the fucking uh
The acid kind of saved me because I faint when I see blood
So I she was covered in blood, but she was yelling for her life
Where I'm gonna pat the the passenger seat the driver's seat that he was just leaking like it was like
It was like a white like I swear to god
It was just coming from the seat like I squished his head in
Once the squished his shoulder like I remember I couldn't see him because the window and the car
But just dog. That's why I don't like little cars like that. Yeah, I'm against all little cars guys against them completely
And that's my logic. That's what I saw in 1987 when cars were still cars. No
1980 it was new year's 1980
Maybe 1981 if i'm wrong
Maybe if i'm fucking wrong
So we're tripping and they get up and they saw the car, you know when it's
They got that shit jaws of life or something they hit that the ambulance came
The fucking some people came with the beds. There was a small fire. They shut that out
And then they sawed her out and like she was fucking twisted
Oh, but I'll never forget these last words
They were drinking
Oh, she said we were drinking no
One of the cops
Oh said that
They were drinking
Yeah, they were drinking
And at that moment me seeing that
At that fucking moment as much as a criminal as I fuck around with weed I bring on a plane all these nonsense I do
You'll never ever ever see me drink and drive and it's because of that night. It's nothing to do because I'm cool
Nothing to do and I'd save my life
Forever because I wouldn't have mind having a few drinks and get behind the car nobody does
But because I saw that
I saw that girl when they took her out of the ambulance. I saw what she looked like
I saw the look in her face that the guy she was with was dead
But I guess as they were putting him away and we were talking
The cop goes there was booze. They found like bottles in the fucking car. Yeah, and that was it
That was it in mind. So if I got anything from all those years of hanging out with the devil
It was not the drink and drive. It's like, yeah
Fucking crazy
Yeah, you got acid
Boiling and that's when we used to boil on acid. That's when you boiled on acid
For eight hours, but you'd be high for 13 14 hours. You know, I'm never gonna drink and drive
But let's get in the car and drive home
On acid. No, no, no, no. We weren't drinking. Oh, you complete them. It's something about booze and fucking
You know people never you never hear a drunk driving acid because they were doing acid
You know acid you'll fly through the air. You don't give a
Nixie, you know, you're in front of your fucking house
Oh my god
It was it was I don't remember the drive home with them. No, I remember like I was shocked
The two or three days at that age. I was like, Jesus fucking christ
I will
Does that shake a guy like him too? Or is he just sort of like bounce off of that and like, all right
He killed his wife. He's doing double time right now. What do you think it did to him? I don't know
I didn't hang out with him
I stopped hanging out with him maybe like summer of 81 because it was just too much. Yeah
You know, he called you seven nights a week
And there was always
Always an envelope at the end of this camp and what we're gonna do with that scam. It was a small envelope
That was gonna spend the whole thing on drugs and then plus what guess what else?
I had to do the drugs with him
So I put on a line he put on a line I put on a line he put on a line
I put on a line he put on a line and then we need to take a line home with two fags
And then go home and you know, it was just a waste of fucking time
It was a waste of fucking time. Yeah
But you live and you learn but I remember him the moral of the story is he took me
To see the new barbarians and the new barbarians
You know what guys I could sit here and tell you they did
I don't remember what the fuck they said. I was just a kid
So I was just happy to be out. I was just happy the white kid was talking to me. You know what I'm saying?
Like I was just happy
But I I do remember the end that I showed you the trip one court
And at the end the people started throwing the chairs up in the air at the fucking garden and people started running out and people get hit with
Ripping the chairs out of the ground. I was dead two times when people started falling chairs another time
The nicks were winning
The nicks were covering the spread
Something happened what I say what I say
The nicks were losing the other team was covering the spread and the nicks were terrible in those days
And it was with the buzzer
Well, the nick players threw the ball up in the air backwards
They went in and the nicks ended up covering so a bunch of people the garden started ripping the chairs
Throwed
Yeah fucking hilarious
That like I said, that was there was a couple places I went as a child that were unique
The other place I went as a child was anytime I went through a six a game or a concert at Philly
Always entertainment besides what you were going to watch and that's what
That's what I like about. I don't you don't have that anymore
There's no more challenge when you go out no more. You have uber. You have you should be having even more fun now
With uber, do you know what I'd be doing with uber?
I know if you just had any old days didn't have to worry about in about a year
Some you're gonna wake up one morning go
Oh my god uber's in the news again
Major cocaine distributor
Is linked to uber. They were doing deliveries with uber. What are you gonna do? I got with uber cocaine
Cocaine and uber go hand in hand jack
They get cooking at midnight uber. That's when they're out hustling. You get an uber in three fucking minutes
What do you want to go on 155th and on the bombastry?
I gotta go see my grandmother. She lives in the alley. You know what I'm saying?
Like that's crazy. Yeah, or even got a getaway man right there
Even if you sell coke you could uber go to lee's house drop it off uber again go back
Nobody knows the feds can't really the feds will tap on to you eventually and chain and follow your fucking uber
That's no genius
It's easier for them to follow you
I was thinking they could probably just have like a bunch of girls or guys
Then they just call the uber for them and they go to someone's house, but it's uh, it's just coke
Not same thing. Yeah. No, I just they never have to go the prostitutes are probably making a killing
Uber's making a killing off prostitution
Yeah, well, you know kids do it now. They don't even pick their kids up at school
They send an uber for the kid. That's creepy as hell. I've seen that
I can't imagine my mom would never do that with me
Now she would
Well, here's the thing though
And I'm just saying
I count would you let your kid walk to school if you like we walk the sky you you walk to school. I bet I took a bus
But that was probably
More dangerous than getting a stranger to pick you up and bring it into your house
That's on a gps when you ask me these questions. Don't look me in the eye
Because I break down all this kid related shit
I live with a horror in my heart that would I send my daughter
When she was six to spend the day of my godmother
148th grade in Broadway
And I said that I start doubting my mom's ability to make decisions because who the fuck would do that
But guess what that's why I learned who the fuck I was
And that's what you wanted from your child
Yeah, but me and you don't have the balls to do that with our kids
I don't have the balls for how to walk from where we live now
To where she's gonna go to school next year
Guess what I'm gonna be a skinny fuck
Because I'm walking five days a week the week and I don't even want to do that some days because
I'm scared of a car coming off of fucking the street
Because I always stay on the outside. I'm a gentleman. Yeah, of course ladies to the inside
You know, these are the things you fucking worry about and yeah that you don't worry about before
What's to stop three or three guys in the white van?
From pulling over and timing kids
Yeah
And grabbing kids and taking off and by the time you even know the vans around they're in mexico or
Up in vancouver or oregano some shit
I mean these these are the realities of life guys
This shit doesn't happen
You know, it's like you always sit there and watch tv and go oh look what happened
A kid got shot in the fucking head on cranch or a boulevard. You never think it's gonna happen to you
That's a horrible way to live a shit could happen time to time
Some of it you could avoid but I still sit there all the time and go how the fuck
How the fuck
Was I playing basketball when I was 12 at two in the morning on 88th street park? Where was the supervision?
Where was the supervision?
But then again, I made it to you know, I would sleep at steam run as easy as my mom knows steam was
She met her mother one time. She trusted steve mom get good look about her
Yeah, it was those days. There was no reason to call. No, there was no reason to call on those days
So you just went over there and next 90 10 everyone's everything's working out. Those are odds that you're willing to take you're tired
You know, I'm talking to leave before but I was going to the garden to see
Just in the seventh eighth grade to walk to the meadowlands
From my house in north bergen to walk to the meadowlands to see ted newton and erosmith
When I want my daughter on route three
Walking to the fucking meadowlands
These are the decisions I have to make. I don't want to leave in my fucking sight
I love my wife, but if you get my wife in conversation, you can steal her sunglasses
You know what I'm saying? My wife ain't no fucking genius. You got her in conversation. You could pickpocket. I mean, it's no fucking big
I used to pickpocket all the fucking time
Fucking crazy
I know you have children. You got to watch everything. Jesus christ that 50 yard walk
Well, steve you were just living on the east coast for a while. Yeah, dude
Is it different there?
Would you let them do more there than you would do here or is it there they got on a bus?
They don't get in a bus here. I drive in my kids to school every day. Guess what? I don't like the bus dude either
Look at those bus people. No, they're all creepy
They charge you 80 they pay the bus driver 18
You know why because they didn't get the like he didn't graduate from the bus drivers academy
They hired that guy. He put like a check with white ink all the felonies and shit
He's probably a pedophile and shit and he's driving your kids around. Yeah, he don't pedophile no more
But eventually one day he'll snap
You know, we'll see a nice little fucking chick with a skirt on and shit. That's what you're needing your life
I'm scared of all that shit right now. You want to walk to and from school. You know why because
How many times have you seen a world news tonight fucking bus drivers texting?
That's a trail of kids in a fucking car
Forget about it and it's human nature and I can't it's against it's against
Me as an american to make somebody put their fucking phone away for eight hours
Like, you know, I am like, yeah, if I own the bus company and I came to steve when it's easy
I said to be steve when it's easy. I gotta talk to you about something when you check in at eight
Give me the phone
And at lunchtime I'll give you your phone back
And at 12 you give me your phone at five. I'll give it back to you
How many people would do that just because we can't do that because we have families
Yeah, you know, you can't do something like that. No, but on the other hand, that's what you have to do as a parent
You have to go up. Does this guy fucking chit chat all day. You know facebook live
Look at that fat chicks getting eaten their assholes. Well, like three or four years ago. There was a big, uh
Like derailment on the subway in boston some guy was texting and he crashed a subway
I don't remember if anyone died, but they definitely like broke arms and it was terrible
They have cameras now watching those guys
I got a buddy from high school that works for the Long Island Railroad
He's the guy that when you know your Penn station and everyone all those people are swamping around that thing
Looking to see what track the thing is. I text him. I go. What which would I'm in the thing
I'm going around concoming with 21. Boom. I'm down there. I'm getting the fucking beer
I'm there when the doors crack open boom. I'm inside and then if you go with him
He's got the key
To the employee car, you know the first one the air condition you can smoke inside
They don't bust your balls right in there free Penn station is not that bad
No, they're redoing a lot of it now. I was just there like I don't know
January December sometimes you run down the Penn station
You think you're gonna miss the bus of the train you get there?
You're having a problem and there's a fucking bar
Oh, there's a lot of things there right now. Yeah, I'm the fucking terminal right there
But as you're waiting for the train you get all the two stiff ones. Yeah, people are still
Oh, yeah, I was like, wait a second right on the tracks. I had like an hour fucking train
I said, you know what who the fuck am I? Let me get a little vodka tonic. Yeah, you know
Vodka tonic with me goes a long way. That's two hours of fucking being ham and google
Fucking drooled all over myself and shit
But uh, yeah, I like that. I didn't know that I had no idea they had booze down when I lived in New York
for those when Lee was talking about when I did east like
Like uh, uh, if I did like Boston or Philly or I take the train
It was easier. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the train of D. C. Is easy
Take the Excella from Penn Station. Listen, you can reach the fucking you gotta get to Hong Kong
From Penn Station, you can take a train from New York to Hong Kong
You can't get to San Francisco. You can't get to LA unfortunately
Listen, if you get to San Francisco, you get to Hong Kong and cut the whole fucking west coast out
You go the other way
You got on the train for an hour. It cuts through Chinatown
Next thing you know 12 hours later you're in Hong Kong and shit
You wake up and it's a dude. They got beat up on your night. It's not the fucking term

Yeah, he's got 12 12 jurors sitting there just looking at two pictures
They couldn't have those pictures out no any much longer him bust it up
Yeah, yeah, they could every day the pictures were out there. It was just tainting jurors. It was just
Somebody was on look at that. There's no way you're gonna find 12 people who didn't see that picture
Unless they live like in fucking africa
They'll get the internet
Everybody saw that poor chinese man get beat
So what happens you go to court and that's it. That's the end the argument. No, listen, we understand they often are made on ours
Well, let's hit the video replay

Then when he's they got the one where he's coming this way running at him

The cameras kill me. There's nights. I sit there and I go. What would I do if I was a criminal today?
Not much you can do
You're not much you walk out your front door. Yeah, you're on camera if you walk more than 55 feet
Music, I mean you walk past my house. You're on camera. Yeah, you're on ring. Bam. Yep. That's it. I got the ring in the back
I got 10 rings. You got a ring. Yeah, you got a ring
Because still and even if you got a wardrobe on you put it on the news. They'll see you
You know the lights go on the back yards and we're way ahead of the fucking game
We got the double lights. Why not? I don't even know if they had it back then
I'm sure they did. Did you like I I keep every day on the news now
I saw like ring had uh, they keep they catch people stealing packages packages. Did you ever do that? Never
Never one time I stole mail because my friend he owed my friend money or something
So I'm gonna get the money and I stole a box with a stereo on it
And there was a social security check like a tax refund check
I took the tax refund check because I had to do it on the inside in those days in 83 84
They used to tell me bring me whatever you got
I'm gonna hit you for 20 percent, but I cash everything
I guess at all. Yeah, he would cash it all
It didn't matter. I brought him checks for years
Fucking amazing. This was way before
You know there was a time when
I tell Lee the credit cards if you spend on the 50 dollars, they didn't run him
It didn't run him
That was called none the limit thief
All I do is spend on the 50 bucks
Oh
So you get the the the Chinese lunch buffet every day like a motherfucker
Ching Ching
You're gonna go for the 495
With the diet coke or you get the 1095 or you could eat with the spare ribs. What do you want to do?
Oh my god, I'll take the spare ribs. Ching Ching. It don't matter
John Sleshing is just for this motherfucker
And it'd be great even when the car would get declined they would still
Because your card was done with throwing electronically, man, uh
Swiped swiped, right? Yeah, they think I'm the 50 bucks. They put your card down and they took an imprint
Yep, and gave it to the bank
The bank didn't even catch on after they got 20 of those pink slips saying that you owe them
You know because you it was 495 for lunch. You drove him a fin for fucking taking the card
Yep, sometimes you drove him 10 because they weren't on it to the way this
They take the cash right out there. Yeah, they don't give a fuck
You weren't worried about like the bank being like he goes to this Chinese lunch every day
Go get them
You know Lee in those days
There was no big computer. So by the time they caught it
It would be three months down the road. That was what it was in my mind
There was no computer I had a friend
That would go to bank of america. Let's say
in 1984
He would go to bank of america. He would he would borrow money
He would put his money and he would borrow like 50 grand
And he would go to
Five banks and put 10,000 savings
And leave it in there for six months
Then after six months he would go into the bank
And get a 10,000 not alone. No like a 75 on the loan
On the 10,000 that was in the bank
To build this credit
And on fridays
At 10 after three he would go into that bank and close his account
And take the money out
And then go to an 8 a.m 10 minutes away
Or go to a different bank and get an extra $7,500 out
That's how fast he was moving. He was ahead of the game
I'm talking about 83 84
That's good. Yeah, I mean you think about he building trust by giving him $10,000
So he would give him 10 take a $7,500 alone against the 10
And then go in there and bank and close the account and pull the 10 out
Something fucking ridiculously right as easy
Yeah, I see what you're saying. He'd take the loan and then he would go to close out
His account and before the loan paperwork actually got finished
He would take back his 10
But now he had a car that said he had 75 or whatever $7,500
Limit so he would walk out there. He would invest 10 and get back 1750
Mm-hmm in six months and he'd do that four times. So he would do that time is five
So you'd make 35 g's on a Friday?
And he would do this in different states. It was fucking amazing and never got caught because he stopped
Before it got computerized like that's when he said fuck this. Yeah
He stopped way before that. He's still around today leads a successful life
sells real estate
Nobody knows nothing and he started that real estate with that money. He was scamming. Do you know that's a few years?
He did that good a year 18 months
Good good for him. I say
Oh, I mean, look, what do we feel bad for the banks who got fucked the banks
It's all the bank on that either the bank gave him the money the bank took back the money or the other bank
That fucking gave him the money who gives a shit. It's all unsure, isn't it? I mean, that's all fdic insured
I mean, I think if you robbed the actual bank, I think you'd have to physically rob the bank
but with the guns and whatever but
You know, fuck Jesus, how many how many fucking fees and shit have you paid for your entire lives?
You know, that's a drop in the fucking bucket scam was
It was a long fucking time. That's not even like small businesses getting hurt. That's just
bank
banks losing money that guy he had
Caused the whole thing, you know, he did a thousand things at once this guy, but that was
One of the things he did
And he would wear this guy all timing scams. I guess with paperwork and stuff disguises
apartments
Like everything he had had to be under that name. Yeah
So he would work it
Six months he would work like sometimes he would open up
an account under your name
And put five grand in there and just leave it there for a year
And then take a loan and then he would pay half the loan and he would build up aliases
He was always juicing always juicing didn't want to get suspicious people get suspicious or anything
You got to be really smart. Yeah along to stare like yeah, I was there
And not greedy
No, he bowed out and got into real estate and he's about a little older than I am now he checks in
Maybe once a year he checks in with Uncle Joey and we chit chat a little bit. Have we heard from uh
Danny B's brother at all the no, he's locked up. They got him under the jail
That was on all fucking time ago
When we first started the podcast
One of my dear dear friends Danny B on twitter
As a brother that was crazy since we were kids
Since we were kids
We were 21 22
This kid was 14 and he was doing shit that you would just sit there and go what the fuck
You know, he robbed the bank one time. What with a fishing line
On friday nights in a hook
He would wait for all the small businesses to put deposits in banks
And he would put the fucking hook with the fishing line and he took the fucking money out
He threw the bag away and he took the cash and he got like 9 g
So he saw a cab driver and he goes give me a ride straight to kennedy
And they gave the guy a lot of tip. That's how he got caught. Oh god
I just put it together. They called a bunch of cab drivers that were in that area
You pick up anybody suspicious. Well, this kid he wasn't been 15. He gave me a lot of tip
And they got him in hawaii. That's when it started
And he did a bunch of the crazy that's a federal offense right out of a out of a male
And he was doing that a while he was they were doing that for a while him and his buddies 15 fishing line
And
Taking back the positive fucking
He'd be surprised
But he came out and he robbed the bank. I don't know what the fuck he did this time
But he was never really there
This poor kid never really had a chance if you
Think back and look. I mean he was gone
At 14 he was already smoking cigarettes and
You know, wasn't that he had a bag of mushrooms. He didn't know there were mushrooms
And when we got home, he's a fucking kid
This is way before he even developed. He was a child
I'm giving him 14. He could have been fucking 12
I put a quarter ounce of half ounce of mushrooms on the table. He thought they were like potato chips
He's just he's fucking crunchy things. They were dry. He's even we go out there like what is this thing?
He's like, what are them? We're like, it's fucking mushrooms. He's fucked up
We were worried about him. We forgot we giggled about it. We left
We come back the house is black. We were worried about him. We forgot
How long was that transition from worried about to forget? You know after a while you crack a couple jokes. You look at him. He's pale
He's okay. You say fucking he's gonna be fine
You just know, yeah, it's gonna be fine. Let's get out of here, you know, you get out
And we came back home that night. All the lights were off in the house
We turn the lights we woke up the stairs and then he is in the living room just fucking sitting there
He's 12 years old
And he looks over this like, you know, I'm not high. Well, I'm sure you
Don't worry about nothing. Where's Tony Bennett Lee?

Okay, and I can never drink
Do you see one of the casinos I go to got raided and shut down for the couple days?

In the heart of traffic. Do you know what that's like down there five in the fucking afternoon?
Oh, yeah, that's a bicycle club casino league
You're lucky. Sometimes you're alive. We know that. Oh, yeah

You gotta go there like 10 30
All right, I used to go at midnight
We know we would go at midnight and if you made your money by you beat the rush hour traffic at home by 6 a.m
But if you didn't make your money you'd have to stay to like
A little bit later, you know, otherwise if you don't want to leave at 8 you'd be sitting in traffic the whole way home
I don't know how you guys could sit out there all night. We played for a while. That's scary shit
I love it. I play blackjack. So I have to learn poker. Oh really? Yeah, but it's it's creepy
Like I'll the the chinese food not bad at the bicycle. Yeah to be honest. I haven't been to the bike
Oh my gosh, god, we so many years. Excuse me
But the other one I've been there maybe 10 years ago when rudy had it and the chinese food

One time I put money down on the blackjack table two people yelled at me
Nobody fucking draws on 18. I just something fucking retarded. They're like you blew the table
So I was like, what the fuck? I don't know dick about dick. Yeah, you know, that's how I am with roulette

You know, I'm stoned or whatever. I can't remember what it is
If I gotta put things down and then people you know, they hit you with the stick. Don't touch this
You're like, oh, yeah, if I gotta learn to lose money, I don't want to learn
Yeah, I'd rather stay stupid and lose on my own than learn to lose fucking money, you know
You don't get that sweet wheel of fortune 40 to 40 quarters
But that's the thing I could put a 20 in a fucking machine
And go once this is over it's over and I go back to my room

11
amazing
You don't you don't really do edibles that often I you know what I haven't in a while
I have a little bit more recently because it's just
Chiller nights and stuff, but um
Yeah, it definitely hits me differently. What is it like being high around your kids?
Is it is it weird you try not to do it?
it's uh
depends on the situation like usually it's like a you know
like a
Late night situation or or more of a controlled environment if we're gonna watch a movie or something like that I don't mind but
For me, it's not that much. I don't lose really my
I'll never go like 2200 milligrams fucking like
No, no, but would you would you take a full edible or would you just like
Smoke a joint. I'm like, I'm gonna go home to I could go home right now and hang out and be fine, right?
okay, but
You know, it's not like uh
It's not like an every night thing, but if I ate like three more stars
It would be a whole different thing. That would be a fucking
A vibe can I get a water?
Joey
um
That would be a different situation
You know, you know, what would you feel like?
uh
I'd feel pretty fucking high
You're doing one and you're pretty high. No, no, he was asking me about edibles
Because I don't really eat edibles that much
I usually just smoke or I vaporize
So thank you, buddy. Can I grab?
um one of those uh
The um chocolates. Yeah, the chocolates. These are perfect for you. Perfect. This is good because you get stoned
You get the munchies and you eat those fucking bam
Are they putting a different planet?
Lee, do you finish yours? You know
Okay
Yeah, 19 stars high close to it
This is the book I brought you
Since you like books my brother said fuck. Yes. Did you ever read this? No, this is you brother
That's a good book. I mean it was written
by bill kennison and another guy
But this bills his brother right bills his brother
There's chapters in there. Let me get a chocolate here. What am I a fucking orphan?
What am I diabetic? I'm a fucking thing
Pay me no mindless. This is uh, it's interesting
It's his brother's story, you know, this guy had it all went on fucking
Howard Stern and went to war with Howard Stern
But
Look at you boy. He's about to puke over there. Oh, so high
That's all right. He's a chocolate boo, but he's good for you keeps you regular. Yeah
Man, um
Talks about houston. Yeah, that's where he started houston, right? I mean, I know
What?
Oh boy
Mm-hmm
Oh my god, look at this do this process
Okay, hold on. Hold on. Just to be honest fair
How many are these all 250 god damn?
Holy shit, are they all done? No, they're 25. Okay, pop another one. What's
Okay, so it's 25 so that's 75
I've had 2275. I think I'm doing okay. No, you must wait. You can't end with
275. No, you gotta have an even number, right?
What's 75 and 25 that's an even number zero
Pop another one myself
You know, I'm not gonna let you tell me you think I'm afraid to those by yourself
Look, I'm feeling
If you want to see me puke you'll all and make me an another one. I don't want to see you puke. Another one
You want to go down like a 2275? Yes, I do. That's a good number. What happens?
You have to go to hospital today and they ask you how many milligrams rate 2275. That's terrible
Why they'll be like that's crazy. That's no one's every no humans ever taken that much
Like I was saying
What
What I really liked about the book
was
He talked about going to the store and eating the fruit
Because they were so hungry
Yeah drip
poor
And I remember how
I remember how the store
Was there for me at that time. I was a regular to shit. Mm-hmm. So I was allowed to hang out there
Yeah
But there was a timely if I went to the store and there was food at the store. Oh, shit
The store came through game on, you know
I heard he used to buy when he was on the road like doing fucking concerts and stuff
He used to order pizzas to the store just hadn't delivered kinsen
Just for the staff, you know
Yeah, because generous you knew that
What it was like to go to the store at nine o'clock and be hungry. Oh, yeah
No, you have the whole fucking shift how much you're like, well, I just borrowed 10 bucks from renaziz and get a sandwich on the way home
But wait a second game over
I get two slices of pizza. Maybe a third
Oh, shit
I can still borrow a 10 from renaziz and I got a nice breakfast coming my way and shit or so and so, you know
brought in a fucking plate a half a tray lasagna because you know
It's baby got christened and left it in the back and you just slice off a fucking piece
throw it in the microwave
That was it. Yeah, I've had it on my shelf for a few years
I had that book and before I moved to Los Angeles. I had that book
And I lost it when my car got towed when I lived in my apartment in sunset
The apartment got towed that was one of the things they towed
So somebody gave me this a couple years back
And I read it twice and you know, I got the emotional stuff
I mean
Kenison was one of the reasons like when I saw that whole Rodney dang you feel special
Kenison was a fucking wild
Motherfucker and what he was doing at the store was
A complete different level like people going to see him at midnight. Yeah, they would show up to go see him
They would show up to go see him which is a weird thing when you knew at midnight
Kenison was going up and there'd be musicians and fucking actors
Anybody who did blow
Pretty much in those years was models, which was everybody, you know, it was just a lifestyle and the sunset boulevard to be cool
You had to go see Kenison at midnight. You know how cool that is for that to happen to a comic on sunset
Yeah, the industry would go down there and watch her every night and go. What what else do we have to do?
No easy get people down here, but spring steam was here two times and I was here last week, you know
Shit like that. That's what people fucking
So that's what he was going through. But he also talks about like
Going up there and eating the fruit and the fucking bartender's chasing them out. So
It's a pretty interesting book. I hope you enjoy it. I'm gonna definitely read it
I read I try to read a lot of comics. I read I read a couple of comedians. I read norms. I read uh arty lang's
Arty's was good, you know, it's got some crazy stories in it
But there's a lot of stuff that I didn't know about or I don't know about him. So
um
and you know the stories that
From what I can gather about the store are going to be so amazing because I you know, we know so much about it
It's just it's such a familiar place
um
You know, it's weird, uh, how many we you I don't know how long he's been dead
I think his anniversary was last week or the week before or the week before I think it was 90 something 90
92 or something three or two or something like that. Yeah, and
I've always heard
Like you've always heard about the people
who as
normal people act
tell you uh
What you want to hear
About his days at the company store. April town. He died. Yeah. See it was his anniversary
What year?
92. Yes, sir
people always tell you what uh
What you want to hear like all lee was a great dude, man
He was so funny at the fucking store
It's funny how I've had 10 people come up to me with those stories
but
The one who blew my mind was mitchie shore
Like after was said and done. Mm-hmm like this is
Mitchie shore 2003 maybe
When she still had a wits to her and stuff. Yep. We had a conversation one night
And when sam the name came up
She just everybody was scattered and she just went on a 20 minute
Quiet tirade to me. I bought sam had done to the store
And what sam was doing at first
But what he had become and you know
That you know, she had heard stuff about the saint up on the roof and
She was it was just fucking crazy
She goes I knew kind of what was going on
But I didn't want to know what was kind of going on and I could say you know for hours
I could but it just came back like a lot of people who I got to meet would say, you know what I gotta be honest to you
It wasn't that good when he was up at the store
It was kind of weird. It was it got kind of crazy. Really got kind of
This is a different
In any
situation as we saw with dain at the improv to laugh factory
a comic becomes too
Comfortable in his home. I mean at the end he was banned
And then he got a billboard across the street from mitchie
With something on it that that so when she looked out the window she saw his billboard
He shot a gun up there
There's still a hole in the fucking thing where he shot the gun up there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's just a lot of things, you know
At first he was the the coming of
And then mitchie said that it was just really weird to her but he got up there
The click that had become
And once she died he died in a way she was happy
Because that click broke up and she wanted to break it up
She just didn't know how she was going to do it because how can you throw sam?
Yeah, but it was funny that she had banned sam sam was banned. I think
At the time of his death. Well
She banned a lot of fucking people
and you know, so I mean
I could totally see your band and people, you know, that was her way of being like you're not, you know, that's your penalty
You know how much you want to be here? I know how much you want to be here and how much you love performing
So you can't come here
And that was fucking probably, you know
It probably happened multiple times
She never banned me never banned you. I never got banned either
No, no, no, I was always on my best behavior there. I mean, I got put in the fucking penalty box plenty of times
Of like no spots for a couple weeks
I think I put in the penalty box once or twice up there
But never uh, no, I was always cool with it to be honest. I was very getty pass for me was a bitch
It took me a couple years
More than a couple years. Well, yeah, like four years three years
but
my friends having uh
Open heart surgery on the seventh
My wife is leaving for a week
I do bray of the eighth ninth and tenth
I got a free ticket from virgin. I got to use before july
When he told me last week he was having open heart surgery
I said, you know, I'm gonna do I'm gonna take that ticket go visit him. Nobody loses. He's my childhood friend
Why can't I go say hello and surprise him in the hospital? You know
He says he's only gonna be there for five days. So
I gotta wait till tuesday till my wife comes back
I just can't get on a fucking plane the next day after she gets back for after a week and not seeing that fucking kid
Yeah, so by that time he'll be out of the hospital. So
I'm kind of upset about it. But at the same time
If god wants me there, he'll put me there. You know what I'm saying? That's that's the way you gotta look at things sometimes
You can't get pissed off. So
Where would you have to fly to?
Newark new work. That's where virgin would take me into. Yeah, the return flight with virgin is a motherfucker
Boy, do you gotta go back one o'clock? Oh really?
To wait new work direct to you
Even though new work at that terminal got some good ass crab cakes
With two eggs sunny side up
Yes
These are world-class crab cakes. You can even order them and have them sent to your house while you're at the fucking airport
That's how strong they are if you have real estate by new or virgin
No, you're gonna get and get the two eggs with the two crab cakes. We got it
Two pieces of wheat toast. You're not walking out of there
Yeah
We got on the plane ready to fucking take a nap in uno. Oh, it's the greatest. You miss shooting a tv show
Uh, yeah, I miss working like I like a regular schedule for a little bit when you first got
The full-time gig on tv. I wanted to take you to get acclimated to the schedule
Couple well
the
The single I'd only ever done like those single camera shows that are shot, you know, like long days
So I kind of was used to that
Everyone was sort of used to that. I never did a four camera in front of an audience show
So those hours are real short and kind of easy
but uh
Took me it took me a couple
Weeks to get used to
Like the schedule of like what we were going to do and how long we're going to work and then it got
It took me about two years to get used to like how i'm going to split my year up
you know, I'm gonna
Right
Well, I'm gonna shoot the show for like four months. I'm gonna tour for four months
I'm gonna try to do like a movie or something else for a month
You know, I try to break it down. It took me like a little bit of time to figure out
Like how to break down my year
I like a schedule and I like sort of
That's how I like to break down
You know how I how I work so
You know for me
Took me about two years to figure that out
I just taped superior donuts a few weeks ago. That's four camera, right? Yeah
Yeah, I was there like fucking zip zooms at easy. You're in and out of there great catering and it's so weird how you
Sit there, you know
Do I want to do this full time at this age? You know, I mean
You know, I could do some of the hoopla
Some of the hoopla is not necessary the thing about it like you said you gain 20 pounds a season
With the bagels and the locks and the fucking
They had everything like you said great catering
They had an espresso machine double expresos
You know, uncle joey banging out with the stevia walking around like fucking
Thirsting how the third and shit shaking hands with people
You can express those and shit. They had soda machines filled with stuff. I thought about lee
The one that was there that had cheese enchiladas and
Korean barbecue that looked like somebody spray paint. I didn't touch it. I didn't touch that shit
Listen to me somebody had spray paint that I stuck with the cheese enchilada. I know those fucking people. You know what I'm saying
Cheese enchiladas got more fucking credibility
Than korean barbecue of my world. Yeah, me too. I'm no mexican for 2000 fucking years
Poor koreans. They can't be done by lately the dud the whole fucking thing
The dud the second dud in the row. Yeah, they're not gonna get that. Well, he's gonna keep firing up those duds till he gets one to stay up
That's scary
And he don't know where that motherfucker's pointed to
No, they don't know what they don't know but they can't get it in the air. You think they know what's gonna fucking land
They could land in new jersey in new zealand
They don't give a frenchman's fuck jack
How you doing lacy lee why you just you don't train on the weekends. I well no one does 20 to 75
I'm fine. Then you leave here on monday's all mangoed up

She's just do a red one. No, I shouldn't that'll put you at 24 hundred even if you just do a little
125 little toot-toot
See what's the difference at this point 22 75 24 hundred gives a fuck who's got a penny in for a pound. Yeah
Sure
You're as tough as now but it makes him a little chocolate
You know i'm saying a little chocolate red star cherry with the chocolate
You can sell that shit lee
Makes a star with a fucking chocolate bomb on call it lee's
You just gave away the secret recipe
Yeah, that's right. I can't sell it anymore. I fucked up. What's the last book you've read that you liked?
I just read uh, this book the hike on we were on vacation for a week
It's this it was this crazy story that my friend paul told me about this guy goes on a business trip, right?
Normal family wife two kids decent life goes on a business trip
Checks into the hotel, you know the key everything that we go through
And then he got he has a meeting at like
730 dinner
It's like one o'clock because i'm gonna go for a hike any trails the lady goes. Yeah, there's one up back there
He goes up on a trail
Zing bing bang boom you can still see the hotel all of a sudden he sees these guys killing this guy
And then he locked guys with him and he runs
And he starts he just runs in the other direction. They're running after him
He gets lost turned around before you know
He's in this fucking crazy like mind-bending dream world where he's now
like
Walking around
I mean he gets crazy he becomes a crab
Dimensions he's gone for what feels like hundreds and hundreds of years
He meets himself constantly in different forms
And at the end
he gets
Like basically a decent life ahead of him and he gets a choice like do you want to go back to your life that you had before or
Like you you can be a ruler here
And he chooses to go back
Not knowing it felt like what what the consequences are and
You know then he goes back. It's it's pretty fucking. It was crazy. It was like a you know a two and a half day read
I didn't you don't learn anything. It's just kind of a
A nice little mind-bending trip
Just something to read on a plane. Yeah, but I've never really read those before. I always just read biographies
so
it's funny that I have a
in my office, I have like a
computer in the desk and
On a wall. I have like pictures of hell street pictures of
my friends who I grew up with
high school teachers and just
regular shit that
Most people wouldn't have I just keep it there as a reminder in a way
It's so weird that some nights I get stoned
And I'll be fucking around the computer or maybe I'm on facebook returning messages or whatever
and I'll look at those pictures
And something will frustrate me and I'll go you know what it really doesn't matter
Because someday I'm gonna go home
Mm-hmm like in my mind for five minutes
I actually believe that one day. I'm gonna stop doing what I'm doing
And I'm gonna go back to North Bergen. It's gonna be just how it was. It's not he's across the street
The Clemens is down the block with crabs
Up the corner Frank the fruit and fucking graceful
That was a guy that Frank the fruit. Yeah graceful grace of oil
I was licensed and it said fruit. Yeah fruit like you know, you know, he lived in it though. He enjoyed it
And then I go what the fuck am I thinking about? But yeah, what the fuck is my and then I go to myself? Wait a second
Wouldn't that be an interesting thought?
if
You could live and at one point
They come back to you and go, you know what?
Then I grew up in my school. You wouldn't love it
And you guys broke up because she's one of the joining army
He meets a girl like that on the on the trip where he's like where he attempted. Yes, I'm just saying that
They give you a chance. Yeah to go back
Or stay with what you got now and usually what you have now is a beautiful family
Two kids a great wife. Yeah, like you got a great life, but what if
What if for the sake of argument?
What if if you were to stay with that girl?
You know, like this is the shit sometimes at night when I'm writing. I'm like
Yeah, like I'm just gonna stop what I'm doing and go right back to north bergen 1980
Like in the back of my mind today, it's still fucking exist
Somewhere
In a deep deep fucking corner that still exists in my mind
I swear to you
Yeah, I'm gonna stop doing what I'm doing and just go home. Yeah and just go home
Which home will be fucking when I'm dead?
I'll be buried over there and we hawk in cemetery. So I'll be right down there by giving that terrace
Got that god for good
Well, she got going on that's it just a road right people in the podcast now
Because life gets real jack. Yeah, but my parents do that too every time we talk and they talk about like they have their plots picked out
My mother will go off. She'll tell you exactly what coordinates
I'm in C I'm in C 38 your father's in C 39
They're next to each other. So it's not a long walk from the parking lot
So you won't have to worry about you know when you come to visit me and you will
How far it is, you know, she
My mom likes to she lives in that misery. That's like her
Her her neutral when you're 28, you see an advertiser for a financiers funeral and you're like fuck that
If I die let my fucking family pay for it those miserable fucks, you know saying yeah when you hit 50 you go, hmm
Why don't I pay for it?
Just in case one of these miserable fucks doesn't come up with the money
I just want to die in peace. Yeah, that's when you become really crazy when you actually go down there
And pay for your freedom in advance
There's some part of me that that is fucking crazy my parents have done it like me walking down. They go. How you doing?

Is bullshit if you think I would have told you this 30 years ago. You're crazy
Once I hit 50 I got a life
It's crazy, dog with the baby praying before dinner's then we both look at each other and go attack
I love it. It's just it's too different
I was talking for the fucking hypnotist today because I went to the hypnotist someone

But if you like it, yeah, we'll do it
I started calling McDonald's with my daughter last year. Yeah, and every time I go I see her for what the fuck it is
And I tried to switch it up
What do you get? I always get the same shit for the last every time I go to McDonald's the last 50 years
I've gotten the same shit
When I was a kid, you only got an option of a big Mac. Yeah
And I disappeared from McDonald's scenes from a few years
And when I made a comeback to have a thing call the quarter pounder with cheese
But I didn't like to have to stick my fingers in the sandwich and pull the piccolo
I don't like to say no pickles now. You can't but not 20 years
Quarter pound you get pickle and fucking spit now you can sound the fucking pickle out cock sucker
so
When I started going back on my daughter, what does she get?
What do you think they get the chicken nuggets, right? Yeah the nuggets that fucking death meal
That's why people become frappity. Listen
It
I wouldn't we we discourage it. I know it's tough though. You're gonna get you're gonna get a mcdonald run one every 10 days
You're gonna have to do a mcdonald run one every 10 days and that comes to terms with that
It's when you're taking your kid in there three nights in a row. Oh, yeah, where it's a fucking problem and they're eating McRibs
And all that shit that god knows it's eyeballs and pigeon tails and shit
You know, you don't know what the tails. Yeah, you don't know what the fuck you're eating those things. So
Uh, you know after she plays soccer on the sadly we go
Yeah, I get the wapa jr. I went on a limb about three months ago when they had the big mac jr
It's one patty. It's a little small. Oh really?
It was delicious
Yeah, I can't lie. It was delicious for about two times
And then he just went yeah one day got it and I'm like, oh, I taste this fucking. Yeah, this is bad news. This is horse meat
No, that's
Pigeon straight up horse. Pigeon claws the one I can't do anymore is taco bell
I used to love taco like you shouldn't be able to do that for the last 10 fucking years
Listen, there's too much good stuff out here, but
I'd still taco bell is like a weakness of mine really not a weakness of mine a hundred percent
But like I wouldn't go there
My first choice, but I could still do it if I had to it's so funny how it's around the corner from where I live
And I have not gone there one time
But I would rather get one on the street from any street place you can get
There's nothing like the tacos from there
The 49 cent tacos from mcdonalds. Is that where you get them? No, I don't know. I never they have mcdonald
They had tacos and mcdonalds
No a taco bell. What the fuck am I saying?
Stoned
Oh taco bells got. Yeah. They got yeah, they got like 49 cent
Yeah, you get like three tacos for like an hour 50. Okay, so we got that
And I like the burrito supreme. What is it? Is that what it's called? Yeah, but see here's the thing
I only go when I'm stoned late at night and late at night. They have like all the things are stale
All the all the the the wraps are always stale the wraps are stale the wraps
You know like what they the taco shell and if you get this soft taco
You know the corners the all that the outside is all like I wish I was part of this book
I've gotten the whole thing stale. I've got I've even got the crack tacos stale
I've had hard tacos be stale. They were I drive past that place
And with all the nutrition information that goes up blah blah blah blah blah blah
There's a line around the fucking corner
constantly the next to a tight place
And that fucking tight place they're out there yelling and screaming half the fucking time
Shut the fucking doors down. You're killing me here. Who's gonna eat this fucking
Tied shit
When you people coming in here eating this taco bell and it's really not meat, correct? Like you know that don't
It's soy meat
I don't know
Me it's what there's some meat in it, but there's other stuff in it too
You know it should all be meat, right? It should be yeah
What do you think is in there beside the meat as you're eating Italy?
It's two in the morning. You're throwing down ten tacos and you're chewing through that meat
What are you really thinking in your heart? Like are you?
I'm just curious
I mean how old were you when you realized taco bell you were eating somebody's foot
Mixed with meat
I
Look at the look on this face. I would probably say it'd be like you have probably like animal meat
So when did you realize there was animal meat in there besides? I don't know that
It's delicious, but I can't do it. I haven't had it for a while
No, I know you had but you did while you were having it. No, of course. You never think about a lot of
Jesus Christ. I'm eating somebody's toenail
You ground it up over this beef
That's what kills me that I just
Listen, I know that you eat shit everywhere
Even when you're not cooking. It's a no. Sorry about that
There's a lot of shit out there. You know, you have to cook for yourself
You don't know what the fuck they're putting in there or giving you for that sense
but
With taco bell, you know going in they're giving you soy meat
And 30% of fucking some cows shoulder
I got shot. They're in a war
The meat is mafia meat. They grind the you know, they're cutting corners all that stuff. Sure. They're cutting corners
That's how they're corporate. That's how they make a profit
You know by charging late this it's just a I love their sour cream
They got the best sour cream in the business taco bell
The fucking best that's why I get it, but they it's not they put too much now
I like the the tacos at the sour cream and I love the burrito supreme with sour cream
It's how to be 10 15 years as I talk about
It's not as good anymore. No, no
I would never my wife made tacos tonight and she didn't she's not great at that
Like it's like the east coast kind like the ground beef exactly
Yeah, because they cook the ground beef like it's a hamburger. Yeah, exactly. That's a season
They don't do nothing. They cook and they look at yeah
Yeah, you know, they put in a taco. She's worried about she's cutting the
You know the cheese up the right way. Yeah, can we wait on lettuce?
Can you worry about the meat a little more? There's no flavor. You gotta dope up the meat. Let's dope it up
Let's marinate it before we put it in there. Let's cut it up. Let's get some taco seasoning
