Wherever there's a bar with darts. There's cocaine I don't know cocaine and darts go together. I didn't drive me crazy when I'm snorting coke when somebody's throwing darts I know man.

It's this fucking dangerous If you're coked out man and doing darts is perfect man because your nose already pointing down So your eyeballs are looking straight ahead. You're ready man. You could do a bump and do a dart. It is fucking crazily fucking darts I think I picked them up by three times Pittsburgh, man.

We didn't even know what we're doing, huh? No Felipe calls me. I go. Yeah, what's up, dawg? I'm down side. Okay We're getting a fucking car. This is i'm I'm heavy-duty junky guys and here's your witness. Okay
Starting point is 00:09:35 He goes, where do you want to go? I go, let's take a ride I think we smoked a joint we're behind el compadre I walked in I took a gram off the guy I got in the car now you had money you wanted to give me the bike coach, but you knew I wouldn't get your coach You had 60 bucks ready, right and I got in the car in front of Felipe And you put a whole straw and then you did it all and I did the whole gram Fucking I looked at him like a guy I believe it guys. Oh my god. I got dry on the tour on the drive from el compadre to highland and
Starting point is 00:10:12 Fountain I would always it was instinct. That was where I would do at that light I would snort whatever was in the bag half of it And then when I pull up to my house Whether the front or the back I would snort the other half of what was in that bag So when I got on the elevator, I went right upstairs and took a shit There was no questions asked when I walked in the house
Starting point is 00:10:34 It was to go right to the bathroom and unload the first cocaine shit of the night and no cup ever saw you do a half I'm a professional we no cop is gonna fucking see that I could never do that. I could never like be like you, you know, you're you've been doing it for a long time At that time I was ready to quit. Oh, yeah, it was just a mat. I was just either wait I would wait to start or to fucking I didn't know what to do and that's what I was doing I was buying that and guys at the end I was buying a gram of coke that would kill a mule from el compadre Yes
Starting point is 00:11:04 And I would do two fucking lines and the whole gram was gone and I would stay high for an hour and 15 minutes And then I would sit in my living room for an hour thinking of my next move And then I would figure out the move and go out and get another gram at 1 a.m You really does that you does that you do You were like the first person I ever see do a whole bag like the 20 bag. Yeah, and then go eat a burrito Like I was me I was like I couldn't eat after I do coke because I want to stay high You know, I want I wanted to do at that point Felipe my
Starting point is 00:11:41 And this is a scary thing to tell you guys because you're not going to believe it my tolerance For marijuana was the same kind of tolerance. I had for cocaine at the end soon to do more I could do I could open up a party with a gram. That's how I opened up tonight With my own grand how much would Felipe open up with a half a gram Not even Felipe was a gentleman Felipe would do two or three lines Or two or three bumps and he was fine. I was a guerrilla Lee. Yeah, nothing has changed from the THC I just transferred addictions, but at least I know this going in I've always had a high tolerance
Starting point is 00:12:19 If at 16 17 I was already doing a half gram a night When I was 16 17 I would buy a half gram go to my friend's house There was 16 or 17 we'd do two bumps and who do you who do you think finished the rest of that coke at night me? I'd go home put in fucking black Sabbath on an a-track With the speakers on and I just sit there all night. Listen to fucking music Like an asshole and cry think about my mother and cry and shit like that So I started at 17 with a half a gram already By the time I went to prison in 86
Starting point is 00:12:52 Before a year before I got locked up before I kidnapped that poor kid You should have seen when I was doing You should have seen when I was doing I was probably doing seven g's a day One of the one in the morning to wait. This is when I was doing it I couldn't function on it, but I could still do it in the morning. Eat breakfast and live my life That phase was like for six months where I would get up and do a half gram of coke Eat breakfast give my ex-wife a stabbing Eat a pussy the whole fucking thing and eat in the morning and then by the time I got in the car. I was fine
Starting point is 00:13:29 Me I'm more like I was more like a degenerate man. I'm a banger I would like party like start smoking crack, you know when I started smoking crack, you know, like in 2004 2005 And I was more cracked like I started on Wednesday after the wild coyotes because I had cash And I would continue to do it till I got tired like to a Sunday I was still for five days. Like I didn't want to stop bro. I didn't know what I was doing my body Like I was like man, I used to laugh at him at our mom What's the name Bonaducci when he had that Bonaducci show That's right
Starting point is 00:14:01 And he fucking bought that bottle of cranberry juice and I bought a vodka and started drinking it right there in the middle of Street I was like far. Okay. What a loser, but then like a week later. I was doing the same thing Like I was I was like not I just like to just continue. I don't know. I don't know how to stop I just continue to go five days. No sleep to a brooklyn man Well, I was a banger for all the bangers. Yeah, but once I got here I bends in the beginning. There was a couple places you could listen to binge coke You got to be able to go someplace. Yeah, you got to be able to go someplace. You can't do it at home
Starting point is 00:14:35 What are you gonna do? I'm gonna go home with you and talk about what comedy through eight in the morning Oh, well this guy's joke. Well, let's put on the now write a script No, and then we talk about how we got into comedy and how our father be this. I don't want to hear that shit So you have to go somewhere where there's 20 people in the room But then it gets creepy That's a different type of creep. I couldn't handle that no more. I could handle it 20 years ago But in 2000 that was it by the time 2000 came it was me either a chick
Starting point is 00:15:03 Or me by myself And that chick knew she was coming to the room to do one thing like there was no misunderstandings You're not coming back to the room to watch tv Or listen to music. You got to break up the monotony. We got to do something bad. It was terrible It was a terrible existence, you know, but just to think that in 2009 you quick coke And in 2017 You're the american dream dog. Yeah, man. You got a special on hbo you know us
Starting point is 00:15:33 2000 comics what's when they got into comedy What did they write on the top of that page? And it was an hbo special even mitch headberg. He wanted a special when you saw Richard Pryor in those days not really Richard Pryor But when you saw the Rodney danger field specials and the young comedians the young comedian, man, they were all hbo So that sunk something In your to every kid, you know, which makes
Starting point is 00:15:59 2009 that much more special for you like that's people have no idea how much changes When and you're you're talking to two fucking guys that were junkies I mean listen to us what we're talking about envelopes and fucking a gram Right in front of each other hermaphrodites hermaphrodites one of the funniest things ever was that night in Modesto, yeah, because
Starting point is 00:16:25 While they came in guys if i'm telling you this any other way I was so ashamed of myself But there was nothing I could do it was done. I was older than these comics You know, we all went out together, but and you run into a crazy friend from houston elected party I was like they were trying to avoid I was trying to like those days and they were asking me to enjoy you got some It was fucking crazy the devil would ever work and I go to modesto And everybody up there is fucking high on something. Oh, yeah at the time that night everybody was high on something at that show And there's 15 people running around backstage drinking. They had grabbing cups
Starting point is 00:17:03 They had us in a little room with booze And a green room for all his friends and all his friends and shit And we got paid cash We knew what to leave right away and then uh one of the kids came up to me and i'm bugging him Come on get me a package. Give me a package. Give me a package. I get on stage the show ends. I gotta get a package But his friend had something he could sell me And I go what is it? He goes it's a speed, you know like all right. I'm what you want. There you go It's give me the fucking thing
Starting point is 00:17:28 At least I got something that was the way I was thinking in those days lee I wasn't going to go back to the hotel room with nothing because I knew eventually I was going to get up and start walking the fucking streets Oh, take a cab to a bad neighborhood and make a bad mistake. Oh man. I was at that level then that I already had Once you told me you could get it and it opened up that thing in my mind It wasn't going to close till I snorted something If you told me in the beginning of the night, I can't get it Then I went home thinking I couldn't get it
Starting point is 00:17:58 But once you told me it's going to be here at 8 30 and when I get off stage it ain't there I'm fucked because I already opened up that valve of thought Is any part of you worried and went in like a new city with a new dealer? Like if you if you know the guy and you trust him, that's one thing but My brain would be like, oh, this is going to kill me. Listen, man people Because of television and media and different things you identify this dealer With this fucking dark character with a hat with a feather in the shadows with a leather jacket And he shows up with a gun
Starting point is 00:18:35 These people are people who work at the theater. Oh, yeah, man They work at the theater But everybody's got a cousin and they know somebody like in in hollywood. They used to be a guy There's another comedian hooked me up with And this guy used to show up with a tackle box A tackle box full of drugs He had viagra. He had xanx. He had coke. He had weed And I like part of it. I guess what would be the person but I meant more along the line like a trust line
Starting point is 00:19:04 Like what do you think they have in there or nothing? Like if the thing is like if the thing is tainted or laced with something or no, man You're dealing with this honor amongst thieves. I bet it's when you're gonna But like Joe Diaz said man sometimes man, you gotta just forget about all that You gotta go for a long walk and find it. That's when you get in trouble But also sometimes you're a good dealer Right But man trust the people you're getting it from I did that in Montreal man at the Montreal comedy festival
Starting point is 00:19:32 I was like, I wanted to do a small crack. I got fucked up It was a young comedian show man And I and you know something you just when you're a drug addict, man, you could find cocaine in the moon Somewhere man, that's the best I could go to any city lee and by the second night have a package Because I could go on stage and talk about it And I listen to the laughter And I listen to the percentage of the room that's laughing and I can figure it out that one of these motherfuckers that's laughing
Starting point is 00:20:06 Because only a certain person would get the joke that i'm looking out a window I can make a cocaine joke about colombians and narcos and a guy like you will laugh But when I talk about I worked the people last night because I did a couple lines of coke The people laugh know exactly what i'm talking about when I said I watched I looked out a window the whole fucking night People do coke understand because you don't know what life is So you get up every seven seconds lee to look out your people In front of your girlfriend your girlfriend will finally go lee Why are you looking at the people? Nothing? I just hear something out there
Starting point is 00:20:42 You don't know what paranoia is That's paranoia. Hell yeah, you're sitting there watching the fucking new england patreon game at 10 in the morning you put 10 or 15 bumps in here or you bump up for the night before And next thing you know you start looking at shadows under the fucking door lee you see them The speed makes your mind see Somebody's feet come up to the door there and listen and they walk away So in your mind that somebody's coming up to the door They put the ear on the door and then they run away. They run around the block. They get refueled
Starting point is 00:21:13 They do it all over again And you're gonna catch on one of these times paranoia and sleep has been there five days straight man doing crack on a six day You're already seeing things bro. You haven't long coverations time. We don't even know what time it is Time goes by fast. There's a movie the temptations Um, they always put it on vh1 david ruffin and that scene with david ruffin When he goes up to the he's doing coke or crack and then And he goes up to the deal and he goes man, come on. Give me another fucking fix the guy goes you already out of fixes He goes, how about two tickets for the temptations? He goes these temptations
Starting point is 00:21:51 He goes didn't two tickets for the temptations the guy grabs him looks and he goes These are tickets for yesterday Then he gives him his fucking car That's Damn, I miss another show you imagine that we fuck man And you imagine getting together with a girl on a sunday night And you don't make it the podcast on monday Like you just don't make it you just don't get home till tuesday morning.

That chick's naked on the table You're gonna wake her up eat her pussy and start all over again Next thing you know, it's 11 o'clock in that corner. You're gonna stay in your room again. Mr. Lee for another day. Oh my god Well ain't nobody gonna know You have no idea Lee you have no idea you don't care about your job Your employers your families what commitments you had It really doesn't matter when you're on a fucking tap I know man. I you should check that a long time ago. You have a plane to take off
Starting point is 00:23:26 You're there next to a day. You don't give up pounding more bills to yourself It is something that Oh, not anymore. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not anymore. It doesn't bother me as I like it did four or five years ago It was still bothering me because I'd still get vivid memories of That weekend in Beaumont when I went to the fucking neo-nazis and bought coke Do you know what that's like? That day the Slade's brother Took me to the other side of Beaumont
Starting point is 00:24:02 And they had swatch stickers on the wall and shit And I go, are you fucking kidding me? But let me tell you something Felipe, you know me It was one of the top 10 cocaine's I ever bought on the road in 30 years. That's how good that nazi coke was It was yellow as fuck That nazi coke at four in the morning that shit took me to a different fucking level It was yellow and it was real
Starting point is 00:24:31 It was flaky. It wasn't cut 200 bucks. They gave me an eight-ball 430 in the fucking morning. Who buys an eight-ball 430 in the morning? That's like a death sensely an eight-ball at 430 in the morning Would you guys have like I know you probably didn't go back to the nazis. Maybe you did I don't know I only went one time But did you have like if you were gonna go to I know you're gonna say houston But maybe maybe in like Idaho. Did you have like this dealer's got this and I can't wait to go Oh, yeah, you knew you were cuban, huh? Did they get carried you were cuban? I didn't care
Starting point is 00:25:03 Uh, he cared that I was in a movie at the time. All right, and that's all that matters I was in a movie. I was in their living room You're famous cuban. I was buying an eight-ball and I was fucked up and so were they And they just overlooked it saying they just overlooked it I went to an after-hour party with one of the waiters from the laptop That black kid lights can kill a tall skinny one on the laptop. He's always there And um, it was like man. It was like one of those after-hour black clubs, you know
Starting point is 00:25:38 it caused like 10 five bucks to get in and um The bartender was selling beer and she was selling drugs, you know And beer and drugs and I went there with two comedians named Keith Manning and deal taylor two black guys But they had a pool table, but only them and they were serving food too Like um southern food like um both dang balls. I don't even know what that is they're like balls was was was fucking like rice and um ground beef inside dipped in gravy And um, of course they got me there, you know, like I wanted to buy a coke
Starting point is 00:26:15 So the first line was perfect, you know, I was like fuck man You know, it was the best coke ever like it like it really brought me down like It was fucking good, man. Like so I said, fuck you give me three of them But but after that man, I could never there were fugueses. Fuck. No, man. I could never reach that level again You know, I was just chasing the dragon. I don't know. Well the first package It was the first bottom of the good man. It was like Man, I was like, yeah, man. It's gonna be a badass party Order some bull damn balls. I had a meeting two weeks ago. Man, man. I met a dude at Marie T
Starting point is 00:26:53 Holmes road Holmes road. It's called Holmes road in Houston and the guy's very sweet And he said hey, man, my buddy's writing a book about disco And he comes here. Do you mind talking to him for 10 minutes? About two weeks ago. I went down to Marie T a little earlier and I met the guy. I was gay very sweet We talked about a few discos in the city and we were talking about he got on cocaine. He goes, do you mind if I ask you? And I said bring it on and he goes, you know what? And I asked him what I told him what streets I copped at and shit But the most important thing I broke it broke down from Philippine. I didn't realize that I got my car was
Starting point is 00:27:31 That coke from the 80s When you first did a blast of that shit and what I'm gonna go to Miami in 84, Philippine And the cocaine in Miami at the time that they had was making your eyes red Hmm, you weren't getting fucking speedy or nothing You were just fucking lit and your eyes got that red vein in them And you stayed up for a day, but you weren't speedy. You just stayed up like it was like a weird energy But if you really tried you could fall asleep if you really tried Later on you couldn't sleep and shit
Starting point is 00:28:06 You try to lay down and your fucking heart's pounding out of your fucking shirt You have no idea And you couldn't drink enough beer to content like No, man. No the cocaine burns through alcohol. Yeah, man. That's why it's one thing balances the other So you get to a point between the alcohol the nicotine the thc and the coke the pills and the coke everything is fucking running together You know what I'm saying? Like they talk about the uh somebody said to me. Do you ever see hunter s. Thompson's drug menu? Listen, I lived it You know what I'm saying? What are you talking about except for the morning stuff? I was never a really morning drug guy me neither
Starting point is 00:28:47 Especially the last 20 years. I was too busy doing this shit So you came behind the morning to I never was a day drinker that never happened I don't like alcohol at night. Never mind it to win the fucking afternoon When I'm gonna headache the rest of the fucking day But my shit at night I went and went fucking deep and hard and listen I'm not in this. I'm not uh glamorizing it by no means. I'm just showing you Even Felipe that in 2009 Felipe was still alive and I remember I would wake up some mornings and I'd have a missed call from Felipe
Starting point is 00:29:23 It's 6 15 in the morning. I go wow And I call him up. What are you doing? He by that time he already copped And he'd be telling me I'm riding dog. I woke up. I did some push-ups And I wouldn't put it together why Felipe would call me to call this seven the fucking morning And I I've been that way. You just let me just call in your mind. You're like, let me just call Felipe. Maybe he's holding You know I remember one day there was a guy you asking about drug dealers Lee Let me tell you how wide open it is
