Starting point is 00:05:55 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
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:07:22 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
Starting point is 00:08:04 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
Starting point is 00:08:41 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
Starting point is 00:09:24 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
Starting point is 00:09:58 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
Starting point is 00:10:29 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
Starting point is 00:11:07 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
Starting point is 00:11:49 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
Starting point is 00:12:32 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
Starting point is 00:13:12 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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
Starting point is 00:14:28 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
Starting point is 00:15:03 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
Starting point is 00:15:37 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
Starting point is 00:16:09 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
Starting point is 00:16:48 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
Starting point is 00:17:33 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
Starting point is 00:18:13 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
Starting point is 00:18:52 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
Starting point is 00:19:25 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
Starting point is 00:20:08 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
Starting point is 00:20:44 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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
Starting point is 00:22:07 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
Starting point is 00:22:48 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
Starting point is 00:23:28 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

Starting point is 00:24:44 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

Starting point is 00:26:50 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
Starting point is 00:27:32 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

Starting point is 00:40:30 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
Starting point is 00:41:06 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
Starting point is 00:41:41 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
Starting point is 00:42:20 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
Starting point is 00:43:03 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
Starting point is 00:43:39 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
Starting point is 00:44:19 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
Starting point is 00:44:52 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
Starting point is 00:45:29 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
Starting point is 00:46:07 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
Starting point is 00:46:50 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
Starting point is 00:47:34 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
Starting point is 00:48:13 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
Starting point is 00:48:51 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
Starting point is 00:49:30 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
Starting point is 00:50:03 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

Starting point is 01:05:18 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
Starting point is 01:06:01 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
Starting point is 01:06:48 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
Starting point is 01:07:30 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
Starting point is 01:08:12 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
Starting point is 01:08:57 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
Starting point is 01:09:36 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
Starting point is 01:10:13 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
Starting point is 01:10:50 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
Starting point is 01:11:29 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
Starting point is 01:12:11 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
Starting point is 01:12:48 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
Starting point is 01:13:32 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 there by 945 because I got to be at the comedy store by 1030 tell me the truth

Starting point is 01:38:55 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
Starting point is 01:39:32 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
Starting point is 01:40:11 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
Starting point is 01:41:01 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
Starting point is 01:41:48 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

Starting point is 01:47:50 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
Starting point is 01:48:39 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
Starting point is 01:49:18 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
Starting point is 01:50:04 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
Starting point is 01:50:40 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
Starting point is 01:51:20 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
Starting point is 01:52:05 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
Starting point is 01:52:47 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
Starting point is 01:53:32 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
Starting point is 01:54:19 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
Starting point is 01:55:07 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
Starting point is 01:55:51 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
Starting point is 01:56:36 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
Starting point is 01:57:22 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
Starting point is 01:58:05 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
Starting point is 01:58:46 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
Starting point is 01:59:46 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
Starting point is 02:00:37 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
Starting point is 02:01:23 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
