Oh

Monday July 3rd you bad motherfuckers
Are you kidding me? Oh, it's like I was I gave that song. Let's not hurt that song
It says
1965 I listened to that song 8,000 times
Oh my god at my house they play that my mom's bar
They play in my neighborhood
Every time they play on the radio, it's like I've heard it for the first time again
Like that's how good to me that to me in my world. That's one of the top three songs the lyrics
Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you fine if you say those lyrics to a woman?
They just melt
What the fuck does he say?
Put it on right from there. All right. Let me see put it on right from there. Hold on
He says I turned it off. He says something just beautiful. Oh, you don't even need to I see your hair is burning
Yes, those are filled with fire. If they said I never loved you, you know, they are alive. Are you fucking kidding?
Yeah, are you fucking who writes that who writes a fucking genius who writes to come on guys? Yeah
No, dude, but he's a freaking brilliant. He's a poet. I'm telling you fucking poet people think the CIA killed him
That was God. God said, you know, I need somebody rewrite the Bible
Is dropping knowledge this motherfucker dropping knowledge. Yeah, if he would have been there when I wrote it
Nobody wouldn't been walking around confused my guest tonight is my brother of God knows how long Martin Moreno
And my other little brother mr. Lee sciat
You know, I think I think it's you know, what can I just like just start off by saying that holy fuck?
This is church. This is church. No, this really is church and I'm gonna testify why this is church
Because for the last
Few years, I've actually been talking about the spirit of freakin Jim Morrison and people channel that fucking spirit when you
Listen to that that resonates with you and it touches you in a certain way that motherfucker was talking to your soul
You know, but there's people that connect with that, dude
And I've been like like just seriously seriously the fact that it got tied in to the beginning of your show
That's the church. It's almost like oh, it was pre-ordained that it was gonna happen. That was the miracle
And I said, uh, I just thought a fucking LA woman. I don't know why I just love it to me all my life
That song I didn't like listen from the early age to I like the song
I didn't like when he starts with the mojo rising
But as I got older, that's the most brilliant part that hall mr. Mojo rising
He just goes off the album is brilliant
As I got older, I like the doors more. I started reading about him. Yeah
My mom loved him. She was Cuban. She thought he was fucking the world's greatest looking man. I'm in Steve McQueen
She said they could take over the world at that cox
And I grew up on this music, you know, and it just it just takes me back to a different fucking time
Yeah, I was I was hanging out with somebody actually that that had a Jim Morrison tattoo and
She ended up getting fucked up and like later in retrospect. I was like, holy fuck like it was almost like
The the spirit of Jim Morrison was still doing fucking crazy shit
You know and and being and being himself, you know, people being people being them, you know, you and I are both music lovers
Yeah, but I don't know if you ever played an instrument or not
I tried I tried the bass in high school. No, I could always play the drums
But once I got to pick something I always knew because of my coke habit
I would pull on the guitar or the drums shelf life
You know what I'm saying like how long how long fly born the guitar
So I chose not to do that. You don't take that. You don't bring your own microphone. Thank God
Because I would have been on my thousand microphone at this point in my career
Wow, but whatever I want inspiration brother, whatever I'm lost with a joke
I'm feeling fucking down. I put on music. Yeah, I go to my fucking office
I put the earphones on and I blast whatever's on fucking YouTube till I can't hear no more
And it does something to me. You're absolutely right. It does something to me music has always been a
Kind of a motivator. I hate working out in my house. Moon because there's no music
I got to work up with the iPod you grow a punch to the bag the fucking earphone pop out and shit
So it's and then you look at your life later on your life. That's when you really look at music
You know, I'm trying to write a book. So when I try to outline a chapter I put the music on
That I was listening to at that time and
Within an hour if I keep that pen moving
Ideas will come back to me shit that I forgot just from listening to that stupid fucking album
Bro, I mean anything related to music. I was I was at the Iron Maiden concert last night and
Yeah, it's great to see the band but the magic that happens like outside even before you get there
It's an event even before you get there. You're with like-minded people who are like
They don't they don't want to fucking
Hurt anybody they just want to have a good fucking time and listen to some loud fucking music
I remembered a week ago. Uh-huh why enjoyed
Watching live comedy again
Like I'm sick of specials
I'm gonna watch
Man on fire with my dog. What's the name crystal here? Did you watch it yet? I haven't even gone to I'm gonna watch
Man on fire with Crystal Lee and I'm done. I'm done
Okay, do you watch a lot of specials? You know, you try to you try to watch comics and you try to
Take the whole out. I can't watch my whole out. I got to watch 20 minutes and go for a fucking walk
And drink a fucking
Cold glass of water or something come back. So but you're your worst critic as well
But the other thing is that I love I forgot how much I
Love getting out and sitting at the back of the comedy store and watching four or five comics. I
really forgot how much
You know, I remember in Houston years ago. They would have the open mic from seven to two in the morning
And they were go what the fuck and
And in the place would be sold out and it was that people want to see a train wreck
There's people that love open mice. Oh, you know, people want to go to open mice for different reasons
I did an open mic in Spanish a couple of weeks ago in a bar in East LA
So, yeah, I mean it's it's in Spanish now 100% Spanish now
I see that they do at the comedy store. Yeah in a couple places. Yeah
Spanish stand-up making a comeback is it or is it growing? I'm sorry. Okay. Yeah, I don't think that it's ever
You know what? That's funny that you that you asked that
Spanish comedy has is just about has hit its evolution right now
like there's so much like
Political instability to say the least that a lot of these guys
Aren't doing the two drunk guys walk into the bar jokes anymore because that's what it used to be it used to be a lot of you know
Elementary dick jokes and fucking really like jokie jokes and
Or story. Yeah, this drunk guy showed up and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and it was funny and it worked
But that was the formula and in the last I want to say maybe 10 years or less
the monologue has
Come on the scene and there's these dudes that are like they're killing it
They're saying a lot of shit. Just talking in Spanish though Spanish 100% Spanish
That's crazy. I like I've watched the Cuban guy. I grew up on the Mexican dude. He's do you know, huh? I
Thinking about doing it now like I would go on stage and give it a try just because it's who I am
You would fucking kill it that really you would not really listen listen listen listen listen
I would have to play a character. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, if I went up there the only way for me to make this funny just trust me to tell you a Cuban
But I have to be like one of the dudes I would have to go up there in the morning and be fucking filthy
Like I remember walking. I was tight with Felicia. They love it. They love how it's tight with Felicia
They love filth and I would walk into a house every Tuesday to do a podcast and every week
I would say well, I thought that I want is our house cleaner and watches the kids and takes the kids to school
And I would walk in being raised how I was and I would go well
Yeah, I want it in Spanish and she saw what all the hell say or whatever the fuck she'd say
Not about five or six weeks. This I walked in one day. They go, let me take a chance
You know one old watch tell him window in the kitchen and shit like that and I had like a suntan
So she bought right into it. I
Walked up to her and I don't want to come south. That means I'm tired
And she goes book it
And I go because I just came back from Vegas and it was hot
And I couldn't sleep because the air conditioner in the room and I go on top of that when you're in Vegas
They blow oxygen in the room and she goes really hard. It's a shame
And I go and the only good part was the pool, but the weirdest thing happened at the pool
And she goes what happened?
And I go, I'm in the water and it's a gay guy walking past
There's a gay guy in the water and the gay guy walking says to him. Oh, yeah, come on. Oh, wow
And the gay guy goes there pinga and the other guy was one of my people a cool, right?
She looked at me for like a second. That's like a really dirty joke
Like how's the water the water is like a cock. Well, I'm gonna do cuz it doesn't translate in English
I'll tell you but I'll tell you that they die those jokes. She died. They love it. She died and then after that. Yeah, I can hit it with
Not material. I'm not ready to do material
I'm ready to do one of the characters that would hang in my mother's bar
With that style of Cuban. It's a style of Cuban a lot of Cubans don't dig
It'll go over in Miami and Kendall. He's a while when I speak in Spanish
Yeah, these are why I speak a wild Cuban dialect a wild
When people hear it, they look at me
What the fuck is a wild Cuban that like I've heard Cuban speak I grew up surrounded by Cubans
Cubans taught my mom how to cook like they legit taught her how to make it's Cuban
It's easy though. I know we were so dude. We had Cubans to the right Cubans to the left Cubans behind us
I called Becky the other night. I told her what they call pussy in Spanish. That's a walker. Uh-huh
Yeah
That's what you should tell the Spanish dudes
You just called Becky up and told you this
She was on the phone going oh my god, I mean it's a question it's a legit question. What do you call it?
She goes, I'm not even gonna tell my mother
I gorilla and mono
That means to have the Harry spider
in Spanish they have a thousand names for the vagina because they're not
allowed to talk about the fucking vagina so they got to talk it and they got it
they literally that's where that shit had to have come from they had to
disguise the fact that and now all those fucking names just kind of stuck as like
a fucking like a I don't know almost like a crazy reminder of the of the
oppression of this the Cuban community was very popular what's his name not
the angel solos are not the kid from the commie store a guy that does just
albums in Miami and he fucking does these out of Miami fucking Lee huge and
he's dirty okay you know later on once I have to for me to write Spanish stand
up I have to sit down for a while and there's no work way really to work at
heart just at your spot once a week right now you have to kind of pop into the
comments for you you're popping so so you could do whatever you're doing in
English you wouldn't have to do a whole different set you could just do the same
thing you just translate it and a lot of it sounds like it doesn't translate but
you'll find a word that's funny that still gets the same point across because
the situations what's funny and then a word just kind of helps to sell it and
you're a master wordsman it's funny because that when I was growing up there
was a dude named Monina we used to go to my mother's bar that was a street name
Monina Monina means in that Spanish abaqua religion Monina if I see you on
the street that's a word of affection this guy was a sweetheart he wore a wig
and he sold coke so he'd hide the coke under his wig you can't write this shit
but Monina had a way with words and all the Catholic holidays the Cuban Catholic
holidays my mother would let Monina a story tell or tell a story if he did a
couple bumps my mom would have to cut them off it was hysterical Monina yeah
don't break it yeah I gotta sell drinks you know but it was weird that did it's
crazy like every time you say that you say it very non nonchalantly you know
like very matter-of-fact but you know you're legit talking about being a kid
talking about you know your mother checking the motherfucker on him on his
coke intake like that you saw but you saw so much so young and you were
prepared for anything that this bitch threw at you because of that but at that
age I knew what cocaine was mm-hmm I knew they were all doing it right I didn't
pay I didn't give them attention I wouldn't give them attention from time
to time from the age of maybe seven to maybe the time she died I would open my
mouth about it if it was obvious and there were people they were outside as
normal if we'd be at the bar and my mom and it was nine o'clock and I was
walking into the bar from karate and there was a couple of customers at the
bar drinking people playing pool I put my gear down in the back and go to the
back of the soda if I went to the bar and she had white on her nose and those
three dudes in that bar was packed I would say something to them and then my
mom would say something to them and then I would overhear them like they would
go around him be careful my mom would at a young age right my mom would tell
people to be careful and I was undone he's a fucking walk
be careful what you're doing kids see shit you see shit everybody see listen I
remember the guys that would go they would leave and there would be a group
of guys that would leave the party and they'd go around the block and then
they'd come back and they'd be laughing and they'd smell like fucking weed right
you knew what they were doing everybody knew that they were smoking bud but it's
like they they left and they hid to do it everybody was drinking tequila drinking
alcohol fucking pounding cigarettes like it was no problem but the minute a
joint came out the need to go hide it was so like it like what the fuck it's so
weird I was exposed to weed as a this is nothing don't worry about right yeah
like you find don't worry about nothing bad's gonna happen and for years I didn't
like a weed I smelled it but I had a godfather who baptized me and he was a
fucking podhead like he who I am today is him he would smoke and giggle by
himself and eyes just get red and as a young kid I would look at him go this
motherfuckers having a good time even though I was against marijuana I would go
this motherfuckers having a black himself like this times we would go he bro this
guy was solid he would take me every I had no phone so from the age of four
and a half to like fucking hate every Saturday pick me up and take me to a
movie we go eat something there's a good guy in the car you roll a joint they
say don't tell your mother about this smoke you know saying he get high and
start giggling then we go to a movie sometimes the movie we're gonna go see
his men was sold out like I used to tell him take me the fucking men movies you
know saying right and one time went to select the group the lovebug like one
of those herby rides again shows like that was it I was the only matinee movie
there was here I was I was a six-year-old with the mind of a ten-year-old
really a fucking Volkswagen that flies around the air one of my super taught
it and he's over there stone to the gills giggling like fucking this is the
funniest thing he ever saw in his life genius and I'm like wait a second maybe
there's something it's marijuana so is always the back of my mind didn't smoke
it that's so well I was like my mom had the bar one night I saw it take a sip of
wine so I went into she went to bed I took the whole bottle of wine I drank it
when she woke up she couldn't find me she called the police they found me in a
closet with shit and puke all on myself because I drank the bottle of wine
alcohols never really been my thing you know I'm saying so the drug exposure in
my home was very and then it was like good fellas my mother's friends everybody
that my mother's circle did it now here was the fucked up part that if that
person had kids I was not allowed to discuss the drug use with those kids
because maybe the way they were being raised they didn't know what their
family did even though I knew so for example if I went to your house and I
was a cocoa I was seven I would go to your house to play with your eight-year-old
son Martin Cecil Jr. right what Martin would never know that you were a drug
bar and you shop people I knew because you hung out at my mother's bar and I
heard the reputation of me so I would be go to your house play with your kids
and I wouldn't even mention it and the parents will look at the my mom and go
equal never she would go here so my mom not if I knew I couldn't open up my
mouth at all so growing up all those years I grew up in like a secret I
couldn't let them know even when I was like 10 or 11 and cocaine started
scratching and you would hear rumblings about it maybe 12 yeah from hearing
people at the bar and you know I had already known what people were talking
about so when you I mean there was no weed in my house and I knew about weed
when I was in fucking like 4th grade and we're talking this was the 70s I was
totally against weed and I think the sixth grade I finally cracked I tried
it I tried it in 7th grade you know a joint between 22
people and then you giggle and go to blimpy bass and you get thrown out for giggling
and act them like an asshole and you will get patted on I can't go home why
not they don't know they don't know they don't know when we viseen you we fucking
hit you with cologne you know there was one and it was a once it went from
and bonacca and bonacca like a mother fucker it went from being a once every
three-month thing once a month and then all of a sudden fucking lease I had a
student guy I grew up with guy who never wanted nothing to do with me up to 10
is calling me up because he wants to score a pound of weed you want you know
I'm saying like that's how it went you're like okay so Lee smoking weed so it's
okay if I smoke you know what I'm saying like in your mind yeah Lee's a nice
student you leave get a shit I'm definitely getting fucking I should leave
get a fuck yeah I'm gonna okay yeah people are afraid it's weird it's people
are afraid of it they're afraid of it they're afraid of it and it's kind of
like you know and there's a lot of like stoner jokes that are probably did a lot
of you know the service you know like just don't know anything bro like I
forget everything man it's like just the the idea that anybody that smokes is
just gonna just be completely clueless you know it's not that's not that's not
a fact you know I mean it's funny you you don't give a fuck about a lot of shit
well you have to build to that point Martin I mean I respected it it was a
it was a social thing for me I'm meeting Martin and Lee to go see apocalypse now
what the fuck you think we're gonna do right we're gonna split a six-pack yeah
you know and we're gonna drink smoke five joints we're gonna buy a we're gonna
buy bro we're not even getting seven joints we're buying some african weed
we're getting five joints for ten to ten bucks we smoke weed we we um yeah then
it became Lee we do tomorrow morning not I'm going to school with the fucking
thing I'm doing it's your first class 845 meet me at 835 and you're like what the
fuck are you doing no we're not I got a science class at 930 Lee how fucking
sidekick in the stomach you're smoking this joint with me and now we smoke holy
we were getting yeah let me tell you something we get stoned outside walked
back into high school and you you career from Boston so in the winter it's cold
yeah when you walk into the heat the reefer intense of I can't even imagine
especially at that age and we go back to the classroom in high school and that's
how it started I never dreamed I was smoking marijuana the daytime I was
not raised to smoke marijuana the daytime how old were you the first time
you smoke marijuana in the daytime ballpark 16 16 but it started like that
you know we would get out at 11 lunchtime like lunchtime we would play hooky
yeah and by the time we got the beer and we got to the park yeah it was 1030 you
know I'm saying that was my life that was my father that was my life yeah but
then in high school it got to the point where you got stoned before high school
that was like my junior year like towards the middle of my junior year I was
actually me or you would go to school for a few classes and then meet I would
meet somebody like a 10 my friend Divo and a couple of us the school wasn't I
I mean I'm not gonna say to learn anything but it was more of a social
gathering for me I learned I learned because I was missing yeah for me it
was like I went to school the day after my mother died because a I hated missing
and B it was when I went to commissary it was my social fucking guy I shared a
locker with a girl she had friends you talked to those dirty animals you talk
to your friends who else I like who was in the homeroom who had you know it was
a social gathering you went and you got all the information I was gonna happen
the next day or for the weekend or whatever part I mean the fuck that we
start talking about this it's crazy I've been out of high school 10 years I
think even now still I'd be afraid to do go to a class stoned that that blows
my mind I didn't do it on the reg but I remember in summer school specifically
when you were saying that I was thinking how I was there and I had gotten high
before class and I went and it was like this I had to draw a cube and like with
like a four-dimensional right yeah and dude do you know how freaking hard it
was to do that stoned I was like I remember the picture and it was like all
distorted and fucking crazy I was trying to connect lines and shit I was
stoned trying to make a fucking cube so the seventh grade we know it was in
seventh grade though that was probably like an about it's like seventh grade
yeah second time yeah okay we would go to shop right right behind the grandma
school we walk like 200 yards there was an embroidery factory we would walk
behind there and then we'd smoke pot and we'd go inside to in the shop right
those days they made sandwiches believe it or not and we'd get to hell no no
I'm lying to you they did something so you didn't smoke in the school no we
smoked softer property we went to shop right bought something to eat but shop
lifted hubba-bubba nice a whole ten pack of five kids with a ten pack of
hubba-bubba that means you want a war from one to three there's gonna be more
bubblegum that's when we would go back to what kind of word you're gonna rage
with bubblegum just throw it at Lee Lee would be in the front row and we would
all bombard Lee that day and then we would get pissed people love bubblegum
I'll never forget a fucking jar that came in with a ladder with a fucking ladder like
this like this guys so he's got his left hand covering the ladder the black board
is where his right hand is he's walking in and I'll never forget the kid's name I
am friends with his name his name is Orlando south say no in the eighth grade
he sat in the back of the class he was one of those dudes that was a little
retarded he was 15 we talk on Facebook now and for years I thought about him
because he did legendary noise my eighth grade class was so legendary because we
knocked the teacher out miss Walsh never came back miss Walsh started the year
telling us how she was 64 she hadn't met every savage she had been there when
there was no electricity when they taught with candles and we were not gonna
antagonize us she had heard our reputation that I got to tell you some
of miss Walsh God rest her soul you killed her no the first two months we
tormented her we tormented her till we got to her and she got to us then the
other eighth grade teacher went on sabbatical in October they were friends
for 40 years and another teacher came in Wally Lindsey he was a wee hawk and
mayor he came in to teach in my eighth grade and finally one day he held us as
a guys you gotta knock it off when I because she's gonna have a nervous
breakdown and quit or like he just broke it down first you can't you can't keep
doing this stuff bro at one o'clock from one to three that class was live
bubblegum flying through like I told you the janitor came in he came in and
also Orlando picked up Orlando would get ten pieces of hubba-bubba and put it
in his mouth at one fucking time take it out mold it into a brick and whip it
at you oh and the teacher came in the principal came in the principal there
like whatever the guy who fixes the fucking janitor came in this all these
janitors were fucked up you had eagle eye his eye went up you have no one
accepting these jobs to live to be human shields for teachers that's fucking
crazy you had but Benny was a high school janitor who I used to tell him
that when I walked in I used to go Benny I got some blackberry brandy where is it
in a locker we'll get it later and every class when I got out Benny would be
there where's that blackberry brandy put in the eighth grade yeah we would throw
gum at each other but every afternoon at about three o'clock we would do
something algebra or something at two o'clock and Orlando would sit in the
back no they'd be one guy in the third row reading whatever the chapter was
about that person would be out of discussion and all of a sudden out of
nowhere you're like every six minutes five an hour until she
just to get the reaction is crazy she knew if she would say something she
would have a nightmare so she would sit back there and they would get like
deeper you go and then you go back to wow and there's everybody just fucking
dying some people you never knew when we were gonna go off like everything like
alright so Monday Wednesday and Friday you have like a match from one to two
two to three you had like social studies so I say Tuesday and Thursday had
different schedule every day we had a different setup for like every day in
the afternoon was a different set of torture but that was the main but then
there was a dude that sat next to me his name was my I'll never forget Michael
Allegretta this guy was an A-plus student since kindergarten he moved from
his dad was like a scientist his mother was like a fucking astronomer this guy's
Italian this guy's English wasn't very good but he hung with us he didn't get
high he was cool as shit though we gave him some bubblegum I wouldn't let people
throw bubblegum at him because he was like a kind of in there we play
street hockey we used to hit him in the shins just to hear him go ouch ouch
Michael was a cool dude but this dude was like a fucking yell dude like he was
not gonna yell you can tell and one afternoon he started with the so now
it was fucking Michael Allegretta and Domino and Domino especially out in
stereo going off I'll never forget this day like yes like if I ever get to do a
TV show this scene would be in it like I have ten scenes from that classroom in
my head that I can't lie to you as a man this times I think about and tears come
to my eyes from emotion like at that time Fleetwood Mac rumors was the big
wow so that was the theme of that classroom if I ever write that book
you know get to that I'm gonna have to write in chapters with the names of the
songs because that's it was rumors rumors was everything you heard don't
stop thinking about tomorrow don't stop everything everything was rumors so it's
Michael Dominic Miss Walsh I'm over here you see that death weapon yeah that's
Miss Walsh that's how close she was to me I was in the first row Michael
Allegretta's right here and Dominic's two from Dominic's where I am only on the
right side of the class or land those in the deep right all of a sudden she's
reading this book I'll never forget this bro gums flying planes are going off in
the air people are making fart noises and then it was timing and in the
middle of all this you give a how and then somebody would do something else and
Michael Allegretta would go wow and then somebody else would do something
Dominic special will go and this just went on this was like and gum was
hitting the blackboard you know Charlie Gizzy's in the back fucking shooting
planes as they went by Charlie Gizzy was a kid that sat on my side he was the
last guy in the classroom and whenever a plane went by he jumped out of his desk
and would go behind the desk and shoot the plane down this is real deal he's in
jail for murder tonight just to let you know we had a crazy grandma school dog
I gotta write this on paper this is unbelievable but I'll never forget this
certain day Michael Allegretta was hitting it Orlando Salcena was hitting it
and Dominic special God rest his soul was hitting it they were all there hitting
it wow and she fucking took her book and just put it down and she goes if it's
not what the fuck did she say something about I'll never forget this she said the
fact that you guys inspired her to what sounds like a fucking retirement like a
speech she took those glasses off she had had like a stroke so she had like a
stiff eye he was not us like the eight years before she had a stroke on the
summer I love Miss Waltz and she goes if it's not the heavy breathing it's
something else what in the world is this and my friend goes meet the noise
right to a face because meet the noise great dog we were animals funny like
that teacher should have if you were that teacher would you not have laughed no
at the line dog I saw a louis I was in the bathroom when they popped a pimp on
my face I was the only one in the basement this school didn't have a gym
till we got to the eighth grade so in the wintertime you shoveled snow and
that's how you got an A or a B or a C like from November the fact January if
you were a good shoveler and you had to see those fucking stairs at McKinley
shoveler you had to see the stairs at McKinley sometimes you shoveled child
sometimes you did pull-ups and shit like that in the seventh and eighth grade
classrooms outside that there was a thin alley and they would make you run in
there like it was quite we never gym so these kids are going to focus with
shoveling snow shoveling snow and I'll never forget walking out of that math
on Monday and I see Louisa on the bar being grabbed by the principal Leo
Gatoni I'll never forget this problem and Leo is yelling at him Lewis was in
the seventh grade big kid that he was Cuban but because of the skin color
they were they still hitting people when you're going to school listen to me
they weren't hitting people yeah they were walking down and I say they call
them a ruzzo okay because he was a Cuban dude he hung out with this kid one
and Alberto Ali we'll get to them later this is all in this class seventh
eighth grade I'm coming out of the bathroom they're about 60 yards from
me they don't see me I see them coming towards me because the stairs are to my
right-hand side they obviously going to the principal's office so right as I
open the door none of the season I see Mr. Gatoni grab Louisa on the bar by his
left arm okay as they're walking like the cops would grab me to take upstairs
Louisa on the bar went away Leo Gatoni grabbed them over here on the left side
of the collar and fucking Louisa on the bar unleashed a right-hand on them you
understand me where I went to grammar school unleashed a right-hand on that
this teacher's legs stumbled the one out from under him bro and he goes now
you're really done and then Lewis goes to say it again I'll bust your fucking
mouth and Mr. Gatoni just ran away and next day they put Louie in the pilot
program when they say this is a high school because you're too stupid he was
Cuban but he didn't speak English so they held you back until you learned
English in those days you know these people complain about racial shit Doug
we can nobody complain as long as you were learning these kids were just you
had to work harder in the summers but they were he was out of on was part of
a trio the Ali brothers Juan and his brother Carlos and Carlos was a little
retarded one said Carlos was on board no Alberto Ali and Juan Alberto Juan was
the mastermind something like that the other guy just stood next to him said
see he was just retired he was a little as dark his skin was a little darker we
were as young as we used to jump the dumpster at Duratest and take the
light bulbs out Duratest used to be a big company in June in Union City and they
made you know those long light bulbs yeah six feet office ones they would make
those but the duds they would put them in the garbage we would take them out and
hit each other in the head with them white powder would come out that's why
half of us are dead we inhale that white powder in the 70s and they lived
close to that their house so for us to play with them but the strains thing about
that shit was just out there for you to have access to and we also had access to
the Banaca factory it wasn't a dumpster it wasn't just like yeah so light bulbs
we'd have wars so in those days I would go up to Lee and go Lee fuck you and I
hit Lee in the head with a light bulb he wouldn't cut himself and then he would
just get white dust in his head sure and then I was dangerous back then I
would hit me in the back with fucking glass pipes those glass things it
wouldn't hurt him he wouldn't get electrocuted enough he would hit me back I
wouldn't be mad at him that's what you did with those things but I don't know
how old that was let's pretend I'm 12 and I'm hanging out with Alberto Juan
I was having play dates at 12 I'm hanging out with Morton Perez whose father at the
time was a Batista's driver so when they came from Cuba they were basically
hunting the Perez family down like people knew he lived there years later I
went to school Martin Perez was not in school he had been taken out of school
his parents had disappeared they went into witness protection that's how bad
it was that a lot of people knew this guy was with Batista in Cuba and they
started hating them and they started hating on his son and shit like this
this is at 12 you're aware of this stuff at 12 yeah that's big shit to be
aware of at 12 you know you you just said that you know 12 most people play
dates do you think that 12 30 40 years ago was different than 12 today Jesus
by scary amount I think is it the same I think 12-year-old Joey could beat up
like at most 25 12-year-old Joey could not beat up a soul 12 year-old Joey was
very shy and scared in those yeah of course I remember 12-year-old Martin but
I'll tell you what I was I was slick as fuck I was smart as fuck yeah you must
oh yeah yeah mm-hmm I know how to put two into together yeah my mother's bar I
knew what a person was like I knew the fuck to stay away I knew shit from my
grandma my grandma told me shit I knew shit that you know like I said I was
raised in a certain number but the question that bothers me still is how
much I want my daughter to be raised at 12 12 wanted to be exposed the same
thing I was exposed to the only person who's an exposure that stuff is me by
talking to her about it that's and explained her about what type of people
are out there to the top absolutely and hopefully half of it sinks in and half of
it doesn't dude I'm I'm that's that's exactly what's fucking like I think like
your your daughter's how old now for she's for my granddaughter will be for
in and I can't sleep in November she's gonna be for November sleeping about the
future listen I'm like look we gotta stop telling them this is what I'm
talking about on stage when I do my little unspoken word with the music
and shit that's what I'm talking about how how do we keep treating our daughters
different than our sons we expose our sons to a lot of information a lot of
crazy shit that we want to shelter our daughters from 100% we're gonna protect
them from it and we're not gonna protect them from it we're just not gonna talk
about it it's not gonna take away the fact that that shit's out there my team
you know when your daughter know about that time in Tucson gang bang three
chicks with alpha robust there's things that your kids need to know and there's
kids that you things need to know maybe later as a joke at a dinner table and
your daughter says daddy did you really do that honey I was a different whoa whoa
whoa listen there's a lot of shit I want my daughter to understand but as she
gets older and she's prepared to get that information you know I live in fear
she's gonna live in a YouTube era eventually she's gonna put two and two
together I really want to understand the from her and I want to hide the acting
from her until she really knows what's going on I never wanted to come home
and say well my friends at school all actresses I want to be an actress I'll
shoot myself just tell me you're bringing home a fucking ISIS for dinner
it's the same damage you're doing to me but you can just do so much with your
child there's no perfect parent no absolutely not it's you want to say
it's a 50-50 toss up listen man I came from a house of love but it was too much
exposure too soon for the computer listen the computer the computer changed
the game no no no for the computer oh I thought you I thought you're talking about
like I don't believe you I believe that when you kids seven and you're rolling
reefer in front of your child I'm not being judgmental I'm just giving you a
butt wipe train of thought here you're all enjoying the funniest son and
blower this you don't want men when you're seven your dad is your idol your
dad is your hero your mom is your hero once they put two and two together like
I did this is why I made these statements because I did mm-hmm once I put two
and two together those kids that I avoid at 13 I avoid them for so long until one
day I go wait a second me and Lee are sitting at home watching a stupid fucking
will found movie and all our other 13 year olds behind Nicky Swazel's second
titties and fingering chicks to smoke on reefer maybe we should smoke pot what do
you think Lee I don't know Joey can I pay you a secret I found I found about a
year ago I went to my dad's room to get a check for school and I found the back
of marijuana what'd you do with it nothing I didn't touch I didn't tell my
mother and all of a sudden leaves my best friend on the way remember the smoke
spot I kind of smelt it one day Joey and you didn't say nothing to me Lee so
guess what both of our heroes are compromised now now it leaves us a
doubt where before we wouldn't have gotten high which I wouldn't ever
Martin I saw in front of my eyes what was going on as a child in front of me I
took a had marijuana and alcohol and something that also existed in front of
me that I never really talked about not on my mother's angle my mother never did
but I saw people around as the heroin so I saw all four of those and I agree that
those are dangerous as fuck but again I would not put marijuana in the same
category as heroin or and in a lot of cases alcohol and a lot of cases the
child's fucking you're still the child I don't know I'm not saying you should sit
there and blow smoke and I'm not saying my perspective is you're the child's
hero mm-hmm how many all heroes drink in front of their kid with no problem I
thought I'm gonna tell you something don't come crying to me when your kid
gets his day you are right don't come crying to me when your kid you know I'm
saying because they're trying to emulate their parents listen as a child if I'm
at Martin's house and Lee's there and Gabriel's there and Alfred Robins is there
and we're all 12 we're having to sleep I thought you know what we're having to
sleep with them because all four or five of our parents are getting together to
do drugs drink and God knows what else and party then Saturday they come back
home and they take us home and they kind of hung over all day and we get to see
it it kind of bothers us as kids we really wanted to do something on Saturday
but they're kind of fucking hung over you know bro that sits with you for a
while I don't want to ever even have a fucking cocktail in my house get in the
family Martin also no no no no no no no I'm gonna give it to my daughter as the
time comes but again I really believe that if you see your hero doing some
more than likely you're gonna fucking do it okay that's your fucking hero that's
your first hero everybody sitting at this fucking table our first hero was
either a mother or a fucking father okay and some of us could handle the drug
use and some of us could handle their shortcomings but some of us couldn't and
I gotta be honest with you I didn't mind that my mom smoked my mom my mind
that my mom drank and my mom thank God I didn't take that shit from her yeah
thank God she was one of those fucking idiots that would drink at nine in the
morning a Heineken with tomato juice and you know my mom was one of those people
because my mom owned the bar my mom knew one thing if you're an owner or you're
behind that bar if you use the cell drinks you gotta drink right for me to
effectively sell drinks I gotta go to that door for door with Lee Lee wants to
come down and drink dog Lee's not having a good day none of his fucking
faggy friends from the movie theater want to drink with them but guess what
if Lee's got a pocket full of money Uncle Gerald drink with a mortal fall in
the morning and you got to have a cut off blouse that at least shows cleavage
that's how you get people fucking drinking you understand me and that's how
you fill up that tip jar and if you're stupid boyfriend sits at the edge of the
table and sits there all night you're not gonna have any fucking customers
because the customers are the fucking drinks and the tits that's what attracts
those fucking drinks to sit there like Humpstall fucking night my mom had a
system even have bartenders no husband no boyfriend is allowed on the premises
don't even have him come pick you up we'll pay for your cab we don't want
nobody know you have a boyfriend you always been single take that wedding
band off take that ugly picture your fucking kid off your fucking neck you
know my mom knew how to sell alcohol that was her job to sell alcohol my mom
knew if you got four p I don't know one time and the services of performance
that's right you go you see the bartenders do the thing they entertain you
either now there's no performance I tell you a thousand times 20 years ago to
fly in this country I gotta tell you something with the most confidence
attitude I've ever fucking told you Lisa you know your Jewish little mind is
gonna freak out I'm right if I tell you this 50 years ago 50 years ago 20 years
ago if you got on a plane and you were handsome you were dressed well and you
drank and you knew how to mingle you had a 60% chance of picking up a check on
the plane were people just walking around walking around walking around people
would buy you drinks what are you guys drinking we give them three cocktails
over there next you know excuse me for a second can we move our seats over here
these are friends of ours you just met him at the airport you just met him
online you just met him at the bar they told you they were going to fucking
New York to and next year they've got three people six people together buying
drinks and drinking next you know another guy comes over you guys know
anything about L.A. yeah man I used to live there where's the Sunset Strip oh
shit it's a fucking party Jesus I got this coke in my pocket let's go to the
bathroom do a couple blasts that's what flying was
that's why with a mile high club thing began I can't tell you how many fun first
class and all these levels were completely different a little before I
started bringing the coke traveling coast to coast planes are all double
deckers guys were there less seats first class was upstairs there was less
seats even coach you didn't sit like an animal half a coach was smoking cigarettes
so the people that were smoking in the back they all knew their sabbages hey
let me get a cigarette all right oh where you from I'm from Connecticut I'm
from fucking make sure oh shit let's have a whiskey that's what I brought one
time I was on a plane and I was headed I was moving to Colorado Springs in my
mind it was over I moved to Colorado Springs and I got in that fucking people's
express was an airline for people who partied and did blow people's express
was probably but I'd love to do a documentary on people's express and see
who really owned it had to be cocaine people because their first flights were
the fuck they only went from New York to England New York to LA and New York to
Miami but the secret about Miami was they flew to LA five times a day no
reservations they left at four you had to be at the airport at two what time
frame was this what I mean years yeah 83 to about 89 Wow I think I sank them in
like 86 because you could pay on the plane are you with me yeah see we could
get in line like so they flew out of Newark so you went to Newark oh my god
online and sometimes you were lucky sometimes I go fucking take me back I'll
come back tomorrow I'll come back you yell you yell how long you've been on life
for a day fucking because it was cheap it was $99 $69 from fucking Newark to
Los Angeles but it was $3 for a can of soda $5 for a veggie tray wow $3 for a
pillow $2 for a blanket you know they didn't charge for luggage but they did
something else that pissed you off so fucking crazy so what you did was you
ran up a tab on the plane and 40 minutes before you land the woman would come to
you with the old credit card things not even the computer you give it whatever
wow then ask you for ID that's the last thing they want it was ID that's the
last thing they want it was ID they would know you were a fake till you
landed with 20 miles on the other direction that's when they would run and
go this guy's a fake this credit card stolen oh we were fucked them we were
fucking them up but he was the beauty that's not even the beauty no here's the
beauty of it how to justify the statement I made the fucking martin the
justifying statement I made the martin I gotta tell you why it's made the
statement because right about the time Miami Vice came out just go to people's
Express history of people's Express people's Express got very popular in
1983 because in 1983 they left Newark New Jersey on the hour every hour
guess to where Miami here's the beauty of it from 8 in the morning to midnight
it was $69 and from midnight to 8 in the morning it was like $29 wow so that meant
me you and Lee could be at a fucking bar when people's Express was launched April
of 98 right April of 81 what I tell you I was killing them there you go look at
that man 1983 people's Express began flights non-stop Newark to London brand
blah blah blah Jacksonville Cleveland in the mouth those who went to ones I was
killing them on
yeah then they died they fucking went under when did they go under
let's see here well they were still up in 86 I think 86 me yeah that's when I
think they're she's 87 yeah well what the fuck did they get dealing with oh my
god I used to kill these motherfuckers up to 85 I'm not gonna lie to you you're
how much older are you than I then I killed in 85 I was 22 years old okay and
I was living in North Bergen from from February of 83 to January of 85 where
Linda North Bergen and since I was Cuban and I knew people in Miami that
relatives down there I became Johnny on the spot for a lot of people that would
never come back with their money I was I was 17 this shit was going on this shit
was on fire so now you and I could be snorting coke right like I would bump
into you at 8 o'clock on a Friday night after Miami Vice right don't even
worry about that I would hook up with you on a Friday about 10 30 after Miami Vice
we go have a few drinks we pick up a package at the bar and also we get the
chitchat one thing leaves so now you know what I got this fucking Cuban girl
I'm dating in Miami I really like to go see you can you get a package in Miami
Martin fuck yeah brothers a dealer last time I went down they gave me an ounce of
$55 and 25 cents well what the fuck are we doing here we were just getting the
car and drive to Newark airport no luggage that's a type of savage how was
that no luggage we'll worry about luggage when we get there we get the
people's express wait half hour boom if you didn't get on this flight you're
on the next one but it didn't matter because we have a ball of coke we're
snorting coke we're at the bar dog we're having a good time no matter what you
get to that bar all those people at that bar we're also snorting coke and we're
also waiting to go to Miami to do the same shit we were doing Martin it was
surreal never did I see a cop back there people going to the bathroom it was
like everybody on that plane was coked up I mean shit was blowing up back so
and out of Miami they were one an hour too but out of Miami they were bulldogs
and those days that by 83 in Miami by 84 you couldn't fly to Miami already they
had a lockdown they would pull you over for no reason I think I dumped coke one
time in Miami I dumped 20 ounces one time and then went back like an hour late
and took it out of the fucking garbage but she had the fat in Miami didn't it
wasn't like shit getting blown off and explosions here and there and people
getting blasted I don't remember at that time everybody was trying to become a
millionaire everybody knew that an ounce of cocaine in New York was 18,000
$1800 but if you flew down to Miami you get that same cocaine $300 there's not
a fucking human being that's not doing bad than that and guess what 60% of those
people got robbed at gunpoint wow 20% of those people got sold shit how are you
gonna get it back up to New York though just fly with it go right but you got to
figure out a mule you gotta get a mule in those days you gotta put a guy in the
train with a guy behind them and another guy behind them you know and that was I
think I'd pay a thousand dollars to hide me and a buddy figured out how to go on
a plane with four ounces I could take you know because in those days I was
getting them in a fucking jewelry box so the guy would prepackage them in a
jewelry box so I'd put them in my luggage and hide them really good that
should get scary I like traveling with the coke on me so I could watch that
fucking motherfucking you know I'm saying you responsible for that thing you got
to travel with it I don't know how many fucking times I travel would blow on me
and on the plane I couldn't resist it dog I'd start snorting on that plane and
then I'd land and I'd be fucking hammered but in those days like I'm telling you
guys 60% of that plane was drunk I can imagine this being an episode I'm
blocked up abroad they don't know seriously like this is let me explain
some to you domestically you know everybody wants you to feel bad for
these people that get arrested in these other country and try to be cute I have
zero fucking sympathy for you my friend oh yeah that's why I tell people all the
time bro before you go there both a lot be like both a lot be like because you're
on track you don't know where you're going you don't know what they do what
you get smacked in the wrist here for could be over there could be murder you
not gonna need tours to North Korea yeah no no no I might my business listen
I don't have a passport but in reality I maybe don't want when you ever think of
that oh no you gotta behave you gotta behave you gotta fuck you don't pull
that I'm in America we were scaring this shit out of me when I already said he
was going to all those countries bro I gotta tell you something for the first
two weeks I really worried about cuz I know he's crazy we'll take his shirt off
for someone there's a white dude you can tell he's Jewish I don't remember if he
had a mohawk or not at the time you know he's in Cambodia that scares the shit
that petrifies a dude like me though look at this fucking white kid that went
to fucking Korea North Korea which it should have been shot on and his parents
should have bit slapped him I believe if your kid comes home with some stupid
ideas you grab him by the neck and go listen before you know about the report
of that white kid that just died yeah they just died they just started yeah
yeah yeah yeah but they shot him with like fucking Benzo or something to keep
my life for 24 fucking hours just to get him here when he got off the plane you
could tell there was something wrong with him he was in a coma for a little year
he was in a coma yeah yeah he was fucked up
boy let's see now what did he do to piss them off he ripped the poster off a wall
he ripped off he wanted the poster as a souvenir or something
or was he protesting no no no well who knows I don't know what the reason was
for taking down the poster or just don't touch the fucking poster yeah listen
my new business go to Puerto Rico my new business go to Puerto Rico we got
about those people I want to go to Cuba bro no go to Cuba I don't want to go to Cuba
don't fuck around though don't fuck around why fuck around down there smoke weed

still reviving 57s out there fuck yeah little Tony better for you motherfuckers
here to let you know we're still in the game cocksuckers
somebody who will swear to be true 2250 as you used to do okay I do you're such a
fucking little kid I'm trying to take you to the river I'm trying to give you a
fucking education you just go backwards after two days
it's funny because you and I were very fortunate in our careers we had a very
good mentor you know having a good mentor with what you have going on and
you see how other people act at that level it's funny somebody was telling me
today they don't like how the comedy stories booked anymore because Mitch he
would book it older guys and then a lot of younger guys and then you know and
Mitch he wanted the younger guys to learn from the older guys well you're
not gonna really learn from somebody when you work with them at the condo
store you don't learn tricks and whatever those type of tricks but you're
really not gonna learn how to be a comedian you and I learned from two
great comics we worked with we opened up for them all those years you know I'm
saying and as everything moves forward in life good comics like yourself and
myself we just naturally branch out you know I'm saying are you that fucking
stone why are you looking at me like I don't know because I'm you're looking at
you you you you seriously like you're somebody that I come I respect your
opinion right now I've seen a man on fire uh-huh well he's got the Mexican do
with the glasses in the car and he's about to cut his fingers
no I'm listening to you talking and I'm like and I'm really in you know you you
learned that you worked with Gabriel in the last couple years ten years I worked
with Joe for fucking ten years on the road you know how many weekends here and
there and you learn you learn the character of a comic you learn the
evolution of a comic you learn how the first year of his jumping up and down
and everybody's drinking and now it gets a little calmer but it's crazier in
another department you know I'm saying and how tours change because it's never
really a tour it was an endless tour yeah it was the never ending tour the name
would change but it was it was it was like a like a like a 20 year journey like
I don't mean not quite 20 but I mean Gabriel he just was celebrated a 20 yeah
dude 20 years of his career and a lot of it was spent you know I'm you know I
shoot I was fortunate enough to see a big portion of it you know from a very
early phase you know I mean he he just I mean he blew up in front of in front of
us really you know we saw him go to another level from you know zero to a
billion the bicycle club on third on Tuesday nights 35 hours you're gonna
pick it up on Friday between four and six that's when I want to go to the
fucking 710 between four and six on a Friday those cock suckers so it was
crazy that we got to see the hotels how they changed yeah how it went from
plane to buses to your own personal bus to maybe a private jet to maybe you know
from it wasn't Delaware no more Philadelphia now you're going to fucking
Europe and Germany no seriously one from Southwest Airlines to to fucking private
jets private jets yeah and and sometimes not even Southwest Airlines
sometimes driving in a car you know four people deep if it's to Arizona or
fucking that's right you know or to or to you know Bakersfield San Francisco
San Jose you guys always take like a yeah we did we drove we drove we we it
wasn't always private plane and in retrospect I look at it yeah and it
was very much kennis-ish without even seeming kennis you guys were all good
friends nobody was really going off to deep end with cocaine or you know
shooting heroin with hookers or missing radio but he's very professional it was
it was it was magic but it was a different type of magic it was a different
type of magic absolutely I got to see it a few times yeah and I could feel the
love in the room you know yeah after the fucking thing Gabriel go eat and 30
people you know I'm saying everybody's eating like a fucking king and people ask
them for pictures I mean it's a surreal world it really was it really was to be
and to be a part of that world and and be and and taste it you know and at
whatever level it is you know there's people that have come in and you know
done that Gabriel's brought out on the road for some for certain gigs that see
the the magnitude because people if unless you see it it's really hard to
know it you can't describe it without sounding kind of like almost like you're
boasting or bragging or something but it's like I've seen people like look at
look at like I've seen dude I've seen families that'll say things like you
know we just buried our such-and-such relative who was a huge fan and we
actually had his picture of you it was like a shrine to him that they buried
this man with you know and then they all like and then they go to this place to
eat out in the middle of Texas and San Antonio I think we were and they run
into Gabe right after like legit they're there for dinner after they just
buried this kid you know and they see Gabe and and it might have been it's it
was almost like if you know like if Jesus would have walked in back in the day
the way these people were looking at them. I know I forgot to see how a really good
comic acts yeah how a really good comic just the composure you know I got to
learn a lot from Joe Rogan guys a lot on the road opening for him you know I
added some things I would say listen why are we doing this why we're leaving at
one and rocking the whole day let's put this together and eat and get the fuck
out of here early you know like I would add some stuff and it all worked and
today that's what the system I use today I use the same fucking system every week
I was never a Gabriel's guy I really like traveling alone most of the time to
be honest with you I think it's a big responsibility I like what Gabriel was
doing yeah but it was weird because nobody was looking at it I saw you guys
somewhere I think it was an Irvine with Felicia and I go you know what nobody has
mentioned about this that this has a kinesin vibe with like Gabriel would do
you know you it would it would take you 40 minutes to you got to see Gabriel and
there was four guys doing 10 minutes a piece for them with different fucking
views it was interesting you know and then somebody was talking to me somebody
from the church recently about nothing maybe in Utah they asked me if I had
seen Gabriel's move or they went to see Gabriel he had a halftime during the show
yeah and her mission was it was fucking amazing it was just it was an event it
isn't that it still isn't event I mean I shouldn't say it wasn't even it still
isn't about so you get to learn yeah you see it becomes it becomes you know I
mean it when you went to one of the concerts it was that it was a concert
it was really a fucking it wasn't a stand-up shows a legit concert when you
go home and you scratch your head you're like I gotta reevaluate what the fuck
I'm doing because that was magical it was magical and I said those are the
words that I've used to describe it to Gabriel but we've seen a lot of magic
magic a lot of magical but the beauty of it is bro that one day you say you
don't want I don't even want what Gabriel has I don't even want what Joe Rogan has
it's a lot of responsibility I just want to go out into my own thing I've been
in this town long enough I want a headline I got the chops I've got the
credits and that's what you're doing right now you're in the process of you
were telling me you're doing like an unspoken fucking oh it's fucking crazy
right now let me just add to this because this to me is one of the most if I
got a cop if I got it I think one time you were on the podcast and I touched on
it but if I have to go through the top ten nights I've had in my 20 years in
Los Angeles you know when we first get into comedy we're very fortunate nobody
calls me for those anymore not that I'd want to do them because you're busy you're
doing the podcast but there was a time where you would get your phone ring
every fucking day that somebody would have a bar and somewhere yeah we're doing
comedy that night and you would get 30 bucks and a meal yeah sturdy bucks on a
knee on a couple of drink tickets let me ask you something can you get me out of

few days to hook up with her godfather and my godfather's daughter who they
love each other I mean they've known each other for like two years since
mercy was a baby mercy calls our big sister mm-hmm she calls our little
sister in California you know dog do you think I want to fucking go to
San Francisco walk around fishman's wharf every time I think about fisherman's
wharf I think by 1984 I had two I had two hot spots for travelers checks in
those days Japanese and fisherman's wharf if you went to any of those stores
on fisherman's wharf when they're stoned when they're fucking flabbergasted
I really ask you Friday and if you use your credit card it's in the 50 bucks
never gonna ask you Friday they're they even gonna call they're they're gonna
run it they're gonna put it in that machine and go ch ch ch ch so I would
alternate between those that day those yes so let's pretend you came to me on
this line so listen come here for a second there's a lady over there this is
how it was this is how it was there's a lady over there she'll take your conch
I'll show you whatever you got a coloring on 30% okay and you go and get 10
fucking lamps she wouldn't give a fuck but then you had a cell you know I'm
saying like yeah whatever you clipped in those days you had to be able to sell
look at look at this poor bastard did you eat another star no way I ate that
one but my water got fucked up those were my two spots it was
high-volume if they ever asked for your idea what you just say I answered my
rental car Jesus Christ hold on let me see if I can see my way let me get that
back down I wouldn't go in there dressed like Joe Bum I would go in that dress
like Don Johnson in that thing I used to have a white shirt I would have a gold
chain my hair would be comb I would have a jacket I'd have shoes and a pair of
pants and sometimes I have a briefcase that's how deep my Jimmy went but I'm
those some days I just go I'd have $10,000 in travelers checks and I gotta
make a living I got 10 bucks on my pocket so I would go into a place by the
80 give them 100 and they would give me like change back or whatever the fuck
it is I would spend like 60 and they were given $250 travelers checks and they
give me 40 back you know shit like that you just maneuvered it like you knew how
to I forget all the math in those days how to get the most for your money again
dead be people that come to you and say look I show cash 10 of those things but
she wants three of them for her and then could you return that stuff later for
cash yeah so you had to have so I don't come to you like let's say there was
somebody who made pictures and you wanted those pictures for your bar and
they were $500 new I would go over there and get you the pictures out to you for
two I don't give a fuck I have no fucking cost my cost is zero if I go over
to get you three of those pictures what do I make later make six bills that's a
deal to a guy like you because they were gonna cost you 500 I should really be
charging you 250 but I like you cock sucker just give me two and I'll get
you three of these so yeah so I would go to Fisherman's Wharf in those days and
just cash in fucking credit cards cash and travelers checks and now you're
walking around it was crazy because I never went back there again oh I left
there in 85 the cops are looking for me and that was the end of that nothing was
ever heard about San Francisco again I left some jewelry pawned in a pawn shop
and my ex-wife flew back one day a one-day trip from Denver nobody knew she
looked at six in the morning she was back at like three in the afternoon and she
wouldn't got all our jewelry and shit out of that a pawn on a hawk but that was
it I never went back to San Francisco and then like in 2000 I did cops was
broken and I and that's what we used to do Thursday night and Friday he did
radio and I found the cab and I took a cab to the tenderloin I hadn't been the
tenderloin dog and fucking just the cops were looking for me and I fucking had
them drop me off and I walked around those streets and I remember seeing the
cafe and I went in there and had breakfast and while I was eating all the
memories of me walking those streets I mean wow I was a fucking kid when I was

me I get there I introduce myself he's a CCO that we talk about he I've seen in
the neighborhood but an hour later fucking the Supremes come down they're
both Cuban chicks they guys but they're dressed up as what the Supremes they come
out and they're hanging out like Farrah for sitting the fucking Charlie's
angels minus one right like they're really women dog like they're pushing it
and guys are walking by they look at them and everyone someone he would go
what the fuck are you looking at to like the women what do you look at that
info the fuck they met a guy that I saw Sarah came in and the gay guy with
squint oh they met a guy that means I'll smack you I swear to God and the gay guy
with the next night he said to that night he goes listen can you do it again
tomorrow even in bamboo she comes out one extra help around here we're getting
too many cops I want you to keep your eyes open I go sure I came back the next
day the next day was completely different same thing it came out they come out
like an hour later after they made out he sleeps somewhere else they hold the
coke from upstairs they probably had another stash apartment at that time
but they also had a hotel room and I and the Hilton up the corner from the
Tenderloin there which is still there I'm not sure if it's still a Hilton it's
across from the hostel that I don't know what's the name of that old that old
Farrah maybe it's wherever San Francisco hostel is right across the street from
that caddy corner there's a Hilton there so he would get a room there he would
have a room with the two gay guys on the Tenderloin and probably one of the gay
guys had another apartment so it was two guys but they live in one and then have
a stash room in one apartment this guy was bringing the coke in from Miami and
when he would come in everybody would hop for him and he would sling his product
on the Tenderloin there was two blocks there where he just slung product some
people came for 20s some people came for 60s some people came for half a kilo
and it was right upstairs and they would go up and get the batch when he wanted
something that was big that he didn't have close by them he would hide shit in
a bumper like he would hide his 50s and 20s and bumpers of cars and when you
drove up the chick would take our 50 out of the bumper and throw it on the floor
and you give him the money then he fucking hold on to the money after he had
a certain amount the one gay guy with the wig would run upstairs with the money
and then come back down and that's how it worked so the second day on that and
some guy talks to this fucking the one skinny gay guy with the wig right and
the guy really thinks it's a woman and he's coming on to this guy is talking
to the other thing with the wig and two guys not even about drugs they're just
talking about human stupidity and he looks over and he goes oh yeah dad that
I take I'm going deep with that means stop talking to this fucking guy in other words
I'm on the fucking corner as a lookout mm-hmm next thing you know don't know
what happens he just turns around and starts punching it just punch it and I
mean he had a head like four times she went down the floor he kicked her in
the stomach a few times that was just life that was accept accepted in that
lifestyle like he could beat them make him suck his dick upstairs beat that you
know it was such a thing that I had I had kind of heard of but not really like
I'd never even seen something like that at 20 years old 22 mm-hmm he would beat
it right there on the street and nobody would say on the street in public on the
street 50 people walking around the tenderloin he would smack him with open
hands I had a lot of fucking walk up I was there for like maybe two or three
other days not to be insensitive but what do you think they would have said
something if it was a girl or was it that kind of place that they wouldn't say
anything anyways like it was a natural born girl exactly I don't think he would
hit a woman we'll do but I'm just saying because of this situation so so it was
more like a gay bashing type of a thing no this is like a prison thing like a
prison thing this is how their lifestyle is uh-huh in prison these Cuban fucking
dude gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha that's the way it was back in the old country
yeah well in prison there's no fucking rules yeah yeah dude yeah you fucking
yeah prisons are no I was in shock the first time then the second time he beat
the other one up he punched her that time oh my god kicked her a couple times on
the floor she was bleeding he told her to go upstairs and clean up what she's
saying the fucking don't fucking have a fucking look at me and talk to me like
that again that I told her either that means I'll break your fucking life in
half she went upstairs came back tip top my goo with makeup on like nothing
happened wow coming up to black eye and that's the fucking lifestyle that they
could beat him hey listen there's a website called Christian domestic
discipline you know what this is not listen this is where these dudes are
fucking dude I swear to God these motherfuckers are just fine it with the
Bible they're saying hey you fucked up I won't beat the shit out of you fucking
I decide when you fuck up but it's like an agreement between them and this
freaking like dude I was in googling spanking fucking like old school 70
spanking and shit wait but doing kids or adults no no no these are adults but the
dudes are like like say that say you have a wife right right like if you're
under this freaking like think the Bible says that you're the man you're in
charge or in control if she if she fucks up at your discretion you just say
hey fucking you fucked up she goes she prays she reflects and then you come in
punish her with the spanking and shit sure oh no there's people that and
there's like testimonies on there from these people you know I don't think
there's a lot of Mexican women doing this what's that at least not the kind
of I'm telling you this is a Christian website I don't know about who else is
in there and you're not unless you're faking it that you're a Christian to
join them but I'm pretty sure that they'd be pretty selective there's also
fucking Christians that come up with a snake what's that they come up with a
fucking snake and the snake blesses you yeah once a fucking year snake bites
one of those fucking yeah they hold all this crazy poison of snakes religion is
what you want to fucking believe hold on to that though let me give some shout
out say you got it religion is what the fuck you want to believe if you want to
believe that somebody beating you to death is what religion is all about be my

worry about your fucking problems right what's going on with you my little
brother Lisa yeah you're a soldier of death you know me dog right I don't put
you nowhere where you don't fucking belong and you've been lurking with
Uncle Joey for five years now you're gonna be promoted pretty soon the cop
over Jim you know you gotta make new moves you know you're right there you
been a fucking soldier you never late you're on time you know I can't get you
too high because then you come up with stupid ideas but I gotta love you you
got a lot of heart for every eight ideas it gives me he's got one in a one in
Academy Award hey you know it's too lazy to presume that's good man that's a
that's a thinking guy right there that's that's awesome well see you go on on
this little tour man I'm happy that you doing so so check this on joy I did I
just did a show it's brand new I've got a musicians with me like I'm doing a
whole different fucking I got a drummer and a guitar player you know how we're
listening to Morrison earlier how sometimes Morrison is just talking and
there's music that's the kind of shit I'm doing right now like I'm you know
because once we took this break and I started just meditating and reflecting
and just thinking about so much shit that that's important that I've evolved
into you know because we shit you think about the man you are today versus the
man you were just ten years ago I mean that's a that's night and day our
revolutions you know and so when once you start looking at shit in a in a
fucking way where you know I think I just got to a point joy where everything
all of a sudden just just like hit a place where fuck it you know like like I
think it's it's time that like you just gotta like take the the blinders off and
say fuck it stop pretending about shit you know there's way too much shit that
that that I feel I've been lied to as a human being you know and and that it's
you know that there's expectations of what should happen you know there's
there's these like if you're not married and have kids and buy a fucking house and
get in debt you know you failed as a human you know and a lot of people's
fucking eyes and that's bullshit there's a lot of people that find themselves as
up in that position and are like what the fuck I followed the rules I did
everything I was supposed to fucking do and and why am I not happy why do I
need fucking Xanax why I need this people aren't honest about what they want
and who they like or what or what they want or what they want to do in life I
think we've been brainwashed to follow a formula Joey the problem is Martin
listen how long does it take to really realize what the fuck do you want to do
as a human being move how a lifetime okay it takes it's a time this is the
gift of life yes that every day you learn something a little more you get a
little more patience yes and you fucking find a way to deal with stuff you know
when you're 22 somebody gives you a finger you jump out of a car you throw a
bottle at them when you're 54 you go to Starbucks you got a flat white you need
a pot cookie and you fucking go home and mind your business it's all comes
through wisdom and shit like this you know it just you know I had to call on
conversations about the tours with people mm-hmm like Joey we feel you
should know no I can't this is what I could do the third week of me being on
the road I'm gonna be faking the funk and people gonna know your phones and
here I feel comfortable doing the road two weekends a month that's what I'm
good for anything after that I'm just gonna be faking the funk I'm gonna be
thinking about my family why I did it two weeks a month is fine for Uncle Joey
you know you could do it you could do brother I'd love to be able to be like
Gabriel go out every week I can't no more I just can't do it it's it's and
part of me doesn't want to do it it's a lot of work it's a grinds a lot of
sacrifice and after a certain point it's the law of diminishing returns which
I'm a very firm believer in the law of diminishing returns always comes back to
collect so everything is you can't eat 22 fucking egg salad sandwiches a week
but you can eat four because in those four days you're gonna work out do you
understand I mean it's the same thing for me on the road yeah I'd love to go on
the road Thursday through Saturday small fucking theaters it's a lot of
Twitter and a lot of Facebook and I'd have to get a publicist that's a ton of
emails you know much I want emails I don't unless you got a bona fide fucking
job for me once you start asking me creepy questions on email that's a new
relationship goes to sour that's what it goes but see that's it's beautiful that
you know exactly I know but what's even more important joy is that you you're
at a at an age where you're mature enough to say that because you know when
you're young and and you know let's face it when Gabe blew up he was a 20 year
old kid and then he went fucking full force for the last 20 fucking years so
yeah that's you're gonna achieve a huge level of success and and he
worked he worked his ass off for those 20 fucking years I got on stage the first
time June of 1991 until this day the question that comes to my mind at least
once a week is what made me go down there what made me pick that fate and then
you gotta remember I fucked around for two years and after two years I said you
know what this is what I'm gonna do this is how I'm gonna do it I'm going for
it and I went for it I sat tight in Colorado for 18 months it was going
downhill and I said you know what I gotta go from my dream man you know what
at that time I gotta lie to you my dream was just to survive just to survive
get over this pain from this fucking divorce and do jokes on the stage and
somebody will give me 75 hours a night are you fucking kidding me and nobody
knows nothing I don't have to pay taxes on this I'm gonna do dick I'm just go
and I got myself this little Nissan fucking this wasn't a Nissan a Datsun a
Datsun my team right now and I fit everything I had that could be in the
car so I was never bored and if something ever happened that was always
covered from a thing of water to a blanket to a frisbee to a football to a
basketball to a pillow to an extra blanket to radiated repair to a spare
tie to a spare spare spare tie to an air pump if something was gonna happen I
was gonna be prepared I put a fucking pipe across the room so I could use it
as a weapon also it's a hang on hang my clothes also as a cover if I wanted to
sleep in my car in some hotel lot you know you're prepared to survive yeah
no that's it I got that car and I had this weird dream that I was gonna do
movies because of my past and who I was and because of my character at the time
that I would never be too good to do movies nothing like that that the only
thing I could possibly do was stand up LA LA between you and I was never in my
future plans when I got into comedy not by a long shot I thought I was gonna be a
ham and egg through life and I was gonna be a ham and egg in comic when he uses
that line in Rocky it kills my soul because that's what I thought I was as
a comedian a ham and egg we know plenty of hammers and that's a great that's a
horrible label to get put up but it's a true that's what you're a ham and egg
or dog you had a show you relied on it the show went under you went under you
never let on a fan base you never relied on your people you know it just came to
you because you were special it happens it happened this career and from that it
teaches you how to do it again most people fail in this career as the you
know for example I use them constantly Tom Rhodes and Margaret show and what's
his name the kid who killed himself in the hotel room died God bless his soul
charade with his name the Spanish kid from New York the freaking Freddie
Prince no fuck Freddie Prince
draw the Spanish right yes they all had TV shows that were all plotted to see if
the comic genre would work and when the numbers went out they pulled the fucking
plug them off three of our shows because they were looking for the next Roxanne
Roseanne they were looking for the next Tim Allen when the motto didn't fit they
pulled the plug that those guys took that 60% of companies with tucked their
tails between their legs moved back home done local comedy or done radio comedy
and been terrified and furious in Hollywood I always give extra props to
fucking Gerardo God rest his soul Margaret show and Tom Rhodes I've had
Tom Rhodes on his podcast various times and the respect I have for him is
because of that because he took a defeat that between you and I has met Liam
Tonya I don't think I can handle Wow if I had a TV show for three years
after the first year your ego grows a little bit but it's not stirring because
you just got a second year that don't mean dick once you get the third year you
start talking shit dog you start looking at houses Wow you start looking at your
wife and shit the same as this broke-ass bitch
I had two kids with us and started to get a new one I'll keep her around to raise
the kids and I'll get myself a fresh freak put her up in a pad and get her a
car nobody knows nothing you know I don't even know what my point is but there's
Tom about Tom Rhodes to the money that has gone yeah but Tom kept doing comedy
Margaret is better than ever Tom is better than ever when I really thought
about quitting comedy six months I made a promise to myself that I was gonna go
see every headliner in Irvine and just dress up and pay for the ticket not
saying anything I would always go in once the show started by the time the
feature act was getting off and I would sit there and I think I watched six
headliners in a week all different styles but one of the best guys I watched
in those six weeks was Greg Haraldo I learned a lot from him it was a freaking
genius it was very it was very great to watch so my point is that all that
defeat shit is what you do with it you know I'm talking the first 10 years I
was here Jesus Christ I heard more nose than fucking anything though I heard no
for everything little festivals big festivals roles but then you just need
learn to deal with the punches and you play the odds they can't say no forever
can't say no forever I was going to these auditions and killed them years ago
one but they would say to me you know what we don't think he's experienced
enough for that role that's a billion I'm going to these roles they're bad
motherfucker I just you know what don't for you for listen Jeff Gellin signed me
in the summer of 98 after I shot the pilot for CBS when the pilot didn't get
picked up I was very fortunate Martin Moreno this is when if you were a stand
up and you had one credit if they were looking for a role in a movie or a TV
show you could talk a cast director in those days into looking at your three
minute tape and reading a headshot deciding
and that dude water anyone I think of water please I can see Lisa over there
fucking sweat but that dude Jeff Gellin with that little resume the pilot the
Taco Bell commercial and baseball he got me out for so many things I wish I have
never recovered those notebooks I recovered his notebooks from 2000 but
the first year that I went out with Jeff Gellin and I got no reason to lie
about this I'm not embarrassed because you guys don't know what it's like to go
to this shit I felt in my heart I was a minor league dude at that time I've been
doing comedy seven years I can headline a fucking sea room but I didn't really
have all the tools to be a headline I was just up there telling dirty jokes and
shitty fucking comics giggle and told me I was funny but I didn't have it but I
could act to be a good criminal you gotta act Queen Latif as a good fucking
you know and that first from from 98 that I signed with Gellin to 99 and a half
Martin yeah I got nothing guys I got nothing that he would send me out to
read a four times a week I'm talking about fucking movies I'm talking about
TV shows roles that you would I would look at today and go how the fuck did he
get me out for that movies with Travolta movies with the first one
with Will Smith and the fucking guy the demarsion man black men and black the
fries still remember going all the way to producers for one of the roles of men
and black it was only two days on men and black he I was gonna get beat up or
kick the hit with slime or some shit Rona Cress if you look at fucking
just saying man and black man and black who casted her name is Rona Cress I'll
never forget you know this you know how many times I went to that audition four
fucking times so in those days I was going to first I would go to auditions
for a year and a half and nothing happened guys nothing happened even said
to me Joey what the fuck is going on and I go I don't know Jeff Gellin I don't
know what the fuck is going on and I said fuck it I bombed at the improv
behind Nick the Apollo and Doug Statham and I said you know what I can't have
this no more I gotta learn how to do comedy so I signed myself up for a
triple one who is it Rona Cress the casting for men and black yeah it says
David Rubin and Deborah Zane no it was Rona Cress or either look at men and
black too maybe I'm wrong who the fuck knows I'll never forget Rona Cress was
that Sony mm-hmm the back lot like you gotta go down now the front lot where
you go into like that like the back lot to be in the back lot of a motherfucker
you gotta know people and shit you've been around for a long fucking time
bro fuck yeah remember you gotta go back there they offered you water yeah and I
read for men and black either the first one or the second one and I'll never
forget that I was like holy shit this guy's got me going out yeah it was the
second one the second one Rona Cress bro I went out for everything those days I
would get a distance from him go Jeff this ain't me he would go go in there
and read the fucking role knock him on their feet and then one day I started
heading one day I started heading I booked the show on NBC four episodes
recurring the whole time my fucking hand was shaking when I booked it but she
got mad at me because I told her they want to come in and read for this role
and she goes why not go I'm not this guy she goes who do you know just read the
role and she goes well I'm canceling your trip to New York coming back on
Monday for producers and I went back Monday I got four episodes I swear to
my mother's gray bro they said to me and this is a thing you don't want to go
up for when they said to me hate your mark I didn't know what they were talking
about they kept saying sir hate your mark I'm like what are you saying like
just hit your mark I'm like what are you talking about like sir step up to that
line like I didn't know anything I didn't know about action or cut I knew
nothing the wrenched those people were the nicest whoever those people were
it was Sydney Portier's daughter and somebody else's kid and they were the
nicest people in the fucking world to me I'll never ever ever ever forget them
though because they love what you were doing I didn't even know what I was doing
but that's a thing but that's a thing I didn't know what I was doing I was
shitting my fucking pants I was a fucking plumber who I was I was a plumber
to the campus they were all lawyers and one day I go in the bathroom episode
seven I go in the bathroom and I find 200 pounds of weed in the wall and I
tell these law students and they take it this is my big break in acting this was
it me and Jeff Getland want a role at that time I booked American gun with
James Colburn I booked the show with all this I booked the fight they kept
saying to me Joey Big Mafia things gonna happen I want you to take he was
very smart he was I want you to take this movie so you have Mafia real I did
this movie called the mezzo's about two gay gangsters once I did that he took
that real and we kept sending it to New York and we did analyze too it was all
Jeff Gatlin dog he was a genius at that shit he knew exactly when people are
before this shit started casting he'd have your tape out but for a year and a
half I eat ass bro that's a lot of people don't know that I would have the
notebooks and I'd be depressed like they would say the name of the project the
