Forget about it. Step on that fucking music. For the way to whip the ponies dead. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:02:49 It's Monday. Oh fuck yeah. I hope everybody had a great weekend. Welcome to the church of what's happened now. The Christ killer in full effect. But my brother's here tonight to talk to you people about some shit, my main man. What I was fucking doing.
Starting point is 00:03:05 George Francis. George Francis. What's up my boy? You know. Oh fuck. Put the pieces together. I got a busy week fucking later. You've been busy dog.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Nah, you know what bro? I do it nice and slow and nobody gets their feelings hurt. I get to spend time with the family. Yeah. I get to put my efforts into the podcast. I take care of myself. Smart. But we were talking about something really interesting.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I know. I forgot too. I was talking about Roseanne Bar. Oh yeah, Roseanne. I don't know why she's getting shit now. I don't keep up on poor Roseanne now. Whatever the fuck the deal is. Her ratings are up there though.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Oh yeah. She's killing it. The biggest. I think it was ABC's biggest premiere in a decade or something like that. It was huge. There were like 18 million people or something like that. You know, it's fucking weird that we were talking about when she shot her special at the store.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Uh huh. Betsy Shaw told Larry Blake. And Noy Gonzalez. Noy. Not to talk to her. Yeah. And they talked to her and she told them to fuck off. You know, it's, you have no idea what Roseanne Bar was doing at that time.
Starting point is 00:04:07 What year was this? This has to be 97. When I got here in 97, Roseanne Bar was tearing these motherfuckers up. And if it wasn't Roseanne Bar, it was the other chick from the south. Remember, they caught her show with 90 episodes. I'm, I'm, it's in my head. I'm talking about the comedian chick. She never recovered from that.
Starting point is 00:04:27 She still does gigs a couple of years ago. I thought she was going to go on the road with Eliza Slashinger and some other chicks. But something happened. She's too far gone. Yeah. I gave her a show and she fucking left the planet too. Bro, that, that, the other side of the world, when you sell your soul like that, it gets dark. You start acting weird.
Starting point is 00:04:45 But Roseanne, like I saw a great interview years ago on Larry King. You know, you know, when you get home from the comedy gigs or your hotel room and whatever is on, is on, and you, and sometimes it's something interesting. And it was Roseanne. And I was sitting there going over the nights, like your, your jokes from the night where you fucked up, what joke didn't work. Like that shit. You had a bag of nachos, you know, you got a soda out.
Starting point is 00:05:07 You just relax and you're just unwinding. But she did a great interview where she spoke about, they asked her about the Cosby's. Oh. They said, well, specifically they asked her why she threw out the brass from ABC from a Christmas party. Well, who's the brass? Like all the top people, maybe see Roseanne wouldn't let them into her Christmas party. No way.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Fuck. Like she was that powerful. Like when she knocked Cosby down from Thursday night, that, that put Roseanne into a different. Yeah. It was another level. She got fucking crazy and that, but she was firing writers. When I got here, they were firing writers. There was always something going on there.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Well, well, the show was done by that time, but the attitude was huge. And over the years, she humbled. I mean, she's worth millions of dollars. Yeah. But like, but at the store, Joey was like, does she come in strong or does she get strong there? She came into the store blowing heat. Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:04 She was a character inside a character. The story goes that she was in the original room. Mitzi saw, made her do a set in the main room and the people from the tonight show were there and they told her you're on tomorrow or the day after. Oh, wow. Like that's how fast it moved for her. In those days, the tonight show was the Joe Rogan experience. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:23 You did the tonight show. You did well. You got work the next day. It was that fucking easy. Whether it's one time at 10, he was still on JRE bitch. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's a million downloads.
Starting point is 00:06:33 A million people know about you. What you do with that million downloads is up to you now. Yes. You attack those million people. Do you lay back and just, well, people are going to come see me. People are going to pay attention to me. So there wasn't that. Roseanne had those.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I mean, Roseanne was fucking huge, bro. But back to Larry King. She told Larry King that ABC came to her and they said, our dream is for you to knock off Cosby. So she fired all her riders and everybody and started from scratch. And she got two riders and she mixed them with two stand-up comedians, which is brilliant mix. And she let them battle it out of the room and she executive produced, you know, she
Starting point is 00:07:11 made the husband Tom Arnold. Yeah. She put him on the show. Oh yeah. She kicked Goodman off, huh? No, no. She had Goodman still on, but something, I don't know, that was her brother. I don't fucking know what happened.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Tom Arnold was smooth by doing smooth smooth. Tom Arnold played it like a fiddle and walked out of there with $15 million. He Kardashian. Yeah. He Kardashian. It's fucking amazing. He did. But Roseanne was huge, but the attitude was even bigger.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Like the attitude was big, bro. Like fucking walking on stages and shit. But she had so much dough, it didn't matter. And she had power, right? And she had power. How many women shows do you think have been out before Roseanne came out with that heat? I don't know. I just remember I love Lucy.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah. Yeah. You can't fuck with that. I love Lucy and I remember Mary Tyler Mosher. I don't know about how big she came out, but I just know that I started in Denver and she came out of Denver. So as I was starting comedy, Roseanne was fucking killing taking off. So Denver became a hotbed for stand-up.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Everybody moved to Denver now. Oh. Denver had the recipe. Comedians think that way. I started in Denver. That's where I lived. I lived in Boulder, so I had to start in Denver. When I went down there, once I got into the scene little by little, you heard Rumblings,
Starting point is 00:08:36 the older comics all pissed off. She stole my joke. Yeah. I wrote for her. Yeah. Everybody wrote for her all of a sudden. All the ones I didn't make it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I got her. So half the camp in Denver loved her, but the other half of camp didn't fucking like her because she either stole their jokes or he wrote for her and she didn't pay him. There was always, and all that shit's just bullshit. How it trickles with everybody. Let me tell you something. As a comic, if Lee gave me five jokes a month, but I could run with, why would I get rid of them with Stiffen?
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I know exactly what you're saying. If I run white, hires five comics to write for it. So does Kevin Hart. Yeah. There's people on laptops.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I've seen his show. There's people on laptops. Hey, homie, stop. Stop. Do that again, dog. Yeah. That's some shit. That's how you make a living.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Yeah. A good comic knows he gets three other comics that he, like I like. HBO gives me 300,000. I'm pulling like Chris Rock. Oh, yeah. I'm taking three comics that I like. It's 50,000 a piece. Until I shoot the special, you're with me every night.
Starting point is 00:09:42 We're hanging out every night. Pick me up at 7.45 every night. We'll get an Uber to drive us around. Wow. The improv, the ha-ha. And you're writing. Lee's writing. And somebody else is writing.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Each get 50 grand. Damn. I'm down. So the first. That's Chris Rock style. Yeah. I can invent that. Chris Rock did that.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Oh, yeah? Chris Rock did that. That's Richard Jenny. Oh, wow. Think of that. That's why if you watch Chris Rock's early specials. Yeah. Fire.
Starting point is 00:10:12 He gave everybody 50 or 75 and said, 15, 15, 15, 15. Takes the pressure off me. Yeah. Plus motherfuckers do what you do. Do what you do. Web it how you want to web it. And they'd be outside the store talking. No, put it here.
Starting point is 00:10:28 That put it. Bro, they'd be right there. And they'd start at the improv. You do 20. Last factory guest by bumping motherfuckers do 20. And sometimes one of them will go up. Chris Rock would go up and Richard Jenny would go up after him and do this joke. Let me work it this way.
Starting point is 00:10:44 That's how bad ass they were. Wow. So I'm walking in there with George Perez and Lee. And not only are we walking in, we're all going up. And you're going to try the material you wrote for me. And you're going to try the joke you wrote for me. And then go, ooh, when I was on stage, I fucked it up, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Do it this way and add Joey to it. Now put, fuck that. Boom. We got a joke. You're 75,000. You're 50,000 is worth weight and gold. Now the comic to have his ego lowered by doing that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:14 You're not lower my ego to me. You're fucking telling me, Joey, I'm putting my life in your hands. Yeah. I'm going to take care. I'm going to go, what week do you need me? Get off the road. I'll be right there with you. There's a way to do this.
Starting point is 00:11:25 It's six, seven nights a week, three spots during the week. And on the weekend came it down, spent some time with your family. It's 15, 16 spots a week because half of them are going to bomb on purpose just to talk. Yeah. You just want to talk and get a line. Yeah. One of these guys got a tape recorder. Boom.
Starting point is 00:11:42 We got that line, dog. All right. Now use email to Lee. Email is at the fucking giant LaBamba. And by the morning, we got three fucking jokes from that. That's true. To try out. That's how you do it.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Yeah. Plus the camp stays fed. Like motherfuckers are happy because everybody's getting paid. Now nobody says, well, he wrote my joke. I wrote a joke. Nobody says that. No. 50 grand, bro.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Fuck that motherfucker. I'll babysit him for six weeks. Before, like as a fan, when we talked about this before, I was really not against it because like, but it's, if I always imagined if I was to stand up, I would never let any, like, I wouldn't want people to write for me. Like, I liked people who wrote for themselves, but like you said something like you've been giving me advice here and there. Like one thing you said is just your material is like how your world collides with that.
Starting point is 00:12:28 And like, so I, I don't, I don't even see it really as writing. It's like, cause it's, we were talking about specials and how like when people do a few specials, they kind of run out of material almost like you just, you're just writing for so long. So if someone else is just like kind of like lobbing it up for you. And then you like, like, Joey, if you were hiring us, if we gave you an idea, you'd probably change it a little bit. You'd adapt it to your point of view, but it's just,
Starting point is 00:12:55 No, no, no. But see the people that you're hiring, you can open mics with. Right. They know you for the last 15 years. Okay. They know how to write to you. They know how to write for you. It's not just anybody.
Starting point is 00:13:07 These guys are your friends. You started with them. You, you featured for me. Yeah. Remember that time, bro? We did that club for $16.82. Yeah. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Remember, remember what we did? Cohibas. I've had. I've had thousands of people. That I've known over the years. I go, bro, I wrote or something. It's not working, but I see your name on it. Oh, it's different.
Starting point is 00:13:25 It's different. Yeah. Some people do it from the heart. Some people do it on the way before they hang up. They go, bro, if you got any work, throw it my way. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They hit you with a bad joke and shit.
Starting point is 00:13:36 You're like, so you call me with a bad joke. Now you want to work. Fuck. Your resume was weak. You know what I'm saying? But it's the truth. It really is the truth. But was Roseanne doing that?
Starting point is 00:13:46 Roseanne had. In Denver. I don't fucking know. I don't. I didn't check the facts. All I know is when I got. Scott on stage in Denver. Everything.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Everything. Every time you went to a room with six comics, they talked about two comics, Roseanne Bar and Sinbad. Why? What was Sinbad? Sinbad supposedly lived in Denver. And he did.
Starting point is 00:14:10 He did. A benefit one time. And a bunch of the Yoke and the Micros went to the benefit, you know, like to be open micros. And Sinbad said to these open micros, they said, Tim, bad, give us some advice. And Sinbad was like, listen, what I need you guys to do is to write clean comics.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Stay away from dirty comedy because you want to be universal and all this shit like this. So all those dudes became anti-dirty. So just like Rogan and Boston, when I started in Denver, everybody was probably too dirty. Like your shit's too dirty. Like it's too dirty.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Like that three, you said three fucks. Too dirty. Because everybody was trying to be fucking Sinbad. Yeah. It's so weird how the heroes from the area define you. You know what I'm saying? You have to figure out what they did, what was different.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Like when you read the Sam Kenneson book, it's a great read. Because it tells about Sam and Houston with Carl LeBow and Bill Hicks, which is everything. Carl LeBow and Bill Hicks, which is irreplaceable. That's what comedy is all about.
Starting point is 00:15:10 You getting to the top with your friends. You know, when your friends are there and you can go back and go broke. Remember Cost Latina on Tuesday nights? 40 bucks. Come on, the $40. What are you talking about? Because everybody thinks we just met.
Starting point is 00:15:22 We've been doing comedy for three years. Yeah. They don't understand that. I know you since old fucking two or something, 98, 99, whatever. You know me since old two. Oh, two. Oh, three.
Starting point is 00:15:33 We've met each other. We gained mutual respect for each other because we saw each other at all the fucking hell holes around LA where guys wouldn't step foot into those fucking things. No. Most people wouldn't step foot into those things. Me and hindsight, even back then,
Starting point is 00:15:47 I knew they would make me better. And they were paying the ass to do. They were paying the fucking ass to do because there's always a Laker game on or a Dodger game on. And now you're doing four spots. So if one of your spots is late, that's fucking your shit up.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Yeah. So once one of your spots is late, then we go for the money. Where's the money at? That's who gets my attention. That free one in Melrose. See you later, Bob. Because I'm not going to make it.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Good night. Yeah, but you're headlining. Come on. My father's here. He came from Maine. I don't give a fuck. Get somebody else with the improv. I'm going to pick up an envelope though.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah. I used to give you a hundred bucks at El Patio. Yeah. That was big shit, too. Big shit. People don't like one of the things that really frazzled me before I moved to LA. And this is for anybody who's moving in general
Starting point is 00:16:32 for whatever occupation. Whenever I would speak to people, like if you're a dancer or you're a fucking archeologist or whatever, people would always shy you away. Like whenever I would mention LA, when I was a feature on Triple Runs or in shitty comedy rooms, the headliner was usually a failed LA comic.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yes. We told you that you had to suck dick to be in LA. You got to be gay to get in LA or you're not going to get spots and you're not going to make any money. Yeah. It was the weirdest thing, Lee. How many people told me I was not going to make money?
Starting point is 00:17:06 I know what you're saying. And it was the opposite. Yeah. I so know what you're saying right now. You just have to make money. You have to know eight people who have a room and don't throw you 50 bucks here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 And then you put something together and you put them on a line up and next thing you know, you're part of a network. Yeah. And you're part of people calling. You're going dog. What are you doing Tuesday night? I got a $50 gig for you at Barla, Cheche.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And then somebody else calls you and says, I got a $50 gig. What do I do? Hold on. Let me call you back. What time do you put me up at Barla, Cheche? Put you up at 9.15. What time is your show?
Starting point is 00:17:39 I'll put you up at 10.30. They're both lying to you. They're both lying to you. He's going to put you up at fucking. He's telling you 9.15 because he's putting you up at a quarter to 10 or 10. And he wants you there early. Because Joey's known to come late.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Yeah. Okay. And the other dude. And the other dude is really going to put you up at 11.15. But you already got a 12 at the store. And you ain't canceling that for nobody. No. Whether it's 15, unless I needed a package badly,
Starting point is 00:18:06 then I pushed the store back a little bit. Listen, I'll be there a little late. You know what I'm saying? Now, I remember when I first started comedy, Edwin San Juan had a lot of rooms in Felipe. And I was in a meeting with them because we were just like smoking weed. I think we went to Felipe's house when he used to live
Starting point is 00:18:24 on Temple in Boylston by that high school and shit where he lived. It was up a hill. And Felipe was like, hey, full check it out. Joey needs to pay rent this month, dog. So George, you got him on Wednesday. Casa Latina Tuesday. I got him a wild coyote.
Starting point is 00:18:40 The big homie. We got to have him on rent this month. And it was just how you said it. Just like you said, it was crazy. Yeah. Fucking crazy. How I'll never forget when I realized I was making money when I didn't have it no more.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Oh, yeah. Because from 2000, I got to say, from 2001, if I'm lying to you, I'm dying right here in front of you guys. From 2001 to 2006, I was making 400 a week as a comic during the week here. Damn. But that's actually not bad. You got to remember that then you guys started
Starting point is 00:19:23 booking improvs. And that up the ante for everybody. Yeah. Like once the improv started giving us Tuesdays and Wednesdays and some Thursdays, that changed the game. Yeah. That automatically put money in your pocket now constantly. Now, again, you're like, Joey, 300, 400, 300, 400 to do it
Starting point is 00:19:40 or two spots at night. What should you do in the store? Ain't that bad when you first get here? No. You make that shit work, Jack. I did a lot with 1600 a month in those days. You make that shit work, Jack. Wonder bread, romans.
Starting point is 00:19:53 You make that shit work, Jack. The Chinese lunch special of $5.95 with a free soda. Woo. Woo. Hummin'. Hummin'. No. You make it work.
Starting point is 00:20:05 But I never forget. In 2007, the economy fucking went out the window. I got cleaned up. And I got locked up. Yeah. I got cleaned off Coke and all those rooms went down the hill. Yeah. I was getting there with my dick in my hand going, bro.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Why am I so broke? It was because I was making three to 400 a week. Tuesday, no, Monday, true fucking Thursday or Friday. Doing little gigs for these guys. Even Satina paid you the small 40. Yeah. Even Satina paid you the small 40. On a sold out show.
Starting point is 00:20:32 On a sold out show. On a sold out show. Give you the small 40. You were picking up envelopes all night long. At the end of the night, you were looking at 160 in your pocket. You're not getting rich. That's four or five spots, right? Four spots.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yeah. You got to figure with the comedy store, 15, 60 from George, 100 from Felipe, you know, to 175. But guess what? Thursday night, you're only making 65. You got to spot at the store and you got a $50 gig up at Universal. And you got to figure out how to pay for, how, you better hope he pays for your parking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Because it's not just a small 35. Yeah. Because you got to pay 15 for parking over at Universal. The small 35. Yeah. The small 35. And one time I was at this club called Wild Coyote and it's fucking gangster Lee. It's gangster club.
Starting point is 00:21:17 The women in there are packing. Jesus. And Felipe's hosting and he's like, yeah, Joey D's is closing the show tonight. Joey shows up. The show goes till 12. Joey shows up at 1030. I'm headlining at 1030, dawg. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Because in those days, dawg, I had the addiction. Yeah. I was hooked on Coke. I needed this money. I got to get out of here. I was like, wow, I've been waiting all day to do a fucking line of coke. I'm headlining at 1030. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I get that go up first and shit. Welcome. Bring up your headliner. And then Felipe goes, damn, after tonight, a lot of comments are going to say that Joey opened up for them. But you know what, man, those are some great fucking times, Joey, because like, hey, dawg, I'm not here to like to kiss your ass or shit, but I seen your whole evolvement. We all did.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I saw your evolvement. Yeah. No, but watching yours was crazy because like you were already power. But like I could see like there was just something wasn't letting you get in, dawg. Like you were at the strip club in the VIP room, but like Dick wasn't getting hard for some fucking reason. And then it was just, it was over. It was over.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Like I remember getting out of prison and you were just like, damn, George, I was going to fucking start selling cars because when I got out of prison, I was like, I need money. I opened up all these rooms again. And you told me me and Rizzle started to take you in. I just, I just seen this evolve and I was like, oh, shit. It was fucking weird. But I know what you mean. I see my involvement a little bit too.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I see it. No, I saw it the last time you were on stage or red man or something. I'm like, look at fucking George, man, trying. This is years. This is, you know, spots every night. And so as repetitive as the sounds, I don't think like Lee knows, leaves her at all. You think Lee could have done Casa Latina? Not the first two times, but after we got him drunk and he hooked up with a Mexican chick.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Bro, if the show opens at eight, he'd be there at eight oh three. If Alma was there. You ever spent three in a night? Lee would be there because it was a fucking open bar in the back like food. Rice, beans. And it was actually good. Not bad. And if you got there early, they would eat chips, salsa.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Plus there was tons of chubby Mexican chicks. Lee loves them. Is that spot still going on? Yeah. And dirty horse. Yeah. Dirty horse, dog with kids and husbands at home. Straight.
Starting point is 00:23:40 And they'll get dick in the parking lot. Straight up. And waitresses that were down. Down. Fuck. This is crazy. Lee, the stories. I could tell you, what about the room?
Starting point is 00:23:50 Who booked all? Who the fuck booked that room that we went on a Wednesday and the following Wednesday? Somebody got shot. That's my room. No. Martina ran off oceans. Oh yeah. The one off a telegraph.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Oceans. I remember that shit. When they shot the dude. The next week I go back. Why did they shoot him? Lee, it doesn't matter. The next day I go back. It matters a little bit.
Starting point is 00:24:09 It matters to him. Oh shit. It sounds like the DA over here. But the funny thing was the next day I went back. The next day I went back. DA or something? And they had flowers and candles right in front of the bar. Can you imagine doing comedy in a place where a guy just got shot the day before?
Starting point is 00:24:25 This is what we put up with that you don't see. Straight up. You don't know what it's like to walk past a Mexican candle fucking factory with flowers and toys. Little GI Joes. That's the whole heck of last week. And you walk in this bar of oceans. There was a little stage with like a fucking sparkle behind you.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Remember that sparkle behind you. It was like a 70s, 80s vibe in that picture. And they had a thing that said oceans. You were supposed to be on a boat. It looked like the bar that Pacino had. It looked like the bar Pacino had in Carlitos way. That's what it looked like, guys. I swear to God, they were trying to make this bar look like a fucking inside of a boat.
Starting point is 00:25:04 It was hilarious. But the night I walked in there and I saw the flowers on the side, I'm like, bro, my comedy career better do something because I'm doing comedy in a place where a guy got shot. And years earlier, people don't remember when Darren Carly drew a knife out of an ocean side. No way. Like some dude, one of those knife throwers was in the room.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Like a magician, my love. I like my girls. I like my knife. He took that flashlight out. And right into the wall, an ocean side. I'll tell you, next time you see him, tell him. I was with him Friday. Tell him, tell you about ocean side.
Starting point is 00:25:41 This had to be 2001, 2009. I wasn't even in yet. Yeah, and Darren was very sweet then. Yeah. Like Darren was drinking tea and shit. Oh yeah. He was a poor mother fucking through her life for having a dog. He was pale for four days.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Me too. I'm pale for him. Oh my God. Yeah, but he's ginger. I don't want me not to go to ocean side. Now ocean side is nice now. I mean, I don't know. I haven't been there in a while.
Starting point is 00:26:04 But Joey, you know, I've always wanted to ask you this, man. You're like a God in the old Latin world scene. And I remember like, I hit you up. I go, hey dog, I'm going to go do a show in Vicelia. You're like, dog, how much are they paying? I'm like 500. You're like, that needs to be a $1,500 check for us, dog. Like how like back in like, in the 90s, Latin comedy came out.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Get locals, right? We're talking about this. Yes. Dog, how was it? Because like when I got there, I heard everybody fuck. Like I had to go out of my way to fuck. Like, like how, how was it? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:26:40 Like I heard the rooms were just jumping back then. They had a taco truck outside Margaritas. Like you guys were doing 1000 cedars. When I first came here, the Latin comedy movement was in full effect. In fact, I snuck in through the Latin comedy movement because all three clubs had a Latino night that time. Oh, all right. The store had a Latino night? Sunday nights from eight to 10 or something Monday nights.
Starting point is 00:27:10 And the improvs was big. Okay. The improvs was well produced. The dude who did it was a manager. Oh. He had a couple of comedians, like not big time comics, like people on TV. Okay. He had TV actors.
Starting point is 00:27:24 What the fuck am I saying, comedians? He had actors, but he was a Cuban dude. And he was a very sweet dude. He was married to a black chick that had like one of those diseases. And she was a fucking soul of God. That's awesome. And I came to this town and I fucking did his thing. And I think he was Cuban.
Starting point is 00:27:42 So that's why he was like, come back next week, but he goes, don't come to my stage without a suit on. What? Yeah. He was like, I need for you to put a suit on. That's some wack shit. And I thought about it. And I thought about it. And I thought about it like that.
Starting point is 00:27:54 And I was going to cancel. I go, who the fuck am I to cancel the spot at the improv? I went to Melrose and I bought a secondhand black suit. That's how broke I was. I just bought it. Fuck it. You gotta do it. You gotta do it.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And I committed to that suit. I bought the suit and a week later I got a call that I'm opening up. I'm doing a show at the Desert Inn. This is the Desert Inn was open. Where's the Desert Inn? Vegas. Exactly. It's gone.
Starting point is 00:28:22 They sold that shit. But the Desert Inn was one of the old school casinos that the mafia ran. But they were doing comedy now. And it was me, David Tell. Oh. And like Louis CK. See dog? 1500 bucks dog.
Starting point is 00:28:34 That was the biggest gig in my life. Fuck. You ready for this? I get there. Everybody canceled. I'm in Vegas and ready for a reed on Tim Allen. Oh. When Tim Allen forced Tim Allen.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Damn. I think the fuck is sitting in a room right now for nothing Vegas and Kevin Hart walks and goes dog I'm doing a gig with you but they don't even know it. Damn. The people in the audience didn't even know Tim Allen was there. So I went out first. I brought Vinny up and Vinny brought out Tim Allen. The place nearly erupted.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Fuck. That's how I became friends with Tim Allen. He was telling me that he's doing this. He doesn't want nobody to know his business. He doesn't want people to come to watch him That's so fucking smooth. He can go when I suck right now, but I just want to do stand up But nobody gets that Everybody I call says we wow I understand it now. He kills. They have to put your name on the
Starting point is 00:29:23 Gazebo, so he was doing spots over at the lab factory in the 98 97 But he would pop in he didn't want them to know when he was coming up because they would advertise him He got busted for cocaine, huh? Yeah before he's he's from Detroit. I don't know. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's crazy. Sorry go ahead No, no, no, no, yeah I just trip out because like if you if you look at the comics like a dog I'm finally not judging people like I used to judge people like if we're locked up on the street I was like, you know fuck this little dog. I don't like the way this will eats You know, I mean I used to judge people like that and I stopped judging people like that and in my head
Starting point is 00:30:00 I was going Joey D has been locked up Tim Allen been locked up your C's been locked up Toby Hicks been locked up How many comedians have been locked up There's not that many of us dog. Oh, well, I'm gonna tell you the truth. Okay, so I got into comedy in 91 For like a year. I just did comedy and then Something sparked me renting videos That was the shit. I went up to this video store had three floors in Boulder They were the biggest video in the store in the fucking state of Colorado or something and he upstairs was just comedy
Starting point is 00:30:40 There was a wall to just stand up comedy. Everybody was Wow And one of the tapes I brought home one night was Tim Allen on the show time all stars and dog I fucking laugh my ass That two days before he goes to the dentist. He don't brush his teeth. I Haven't heard that bit each Oreo. Sure is 1980 fucking Seven damn, but before he goes to dentist He would eat Oreos and pack sour cream in there so color would stick so when he'd open his mouth a bird would fly out of
Starting point is 00:31:11 Just some stupid shit, bro I thought it was amusing and I and I'll never forget that I did some reading up on them and I can't lie to anybody my heart Melted when I found out Tim Allen had done time and he was a rat He'll tell you he wrote away. He read it read it I can't kick it with a nice one. I tell you something. It was a mistake, but he didn't want to do time He really he had already started doing stand-up or something, but when I read that he Did time and got a deal from Disney
Starting point is 00:31:42 It made me a relief like it gave me a breathing room. I can't yeah, but they won't give it to us I mean who knows yeah, you right? But now I know it's okay. Listen before any network gives us anything They don't do a background check yeah before they invest in you. They're gonna do a background check What are they gonna find on that background check George? They're gonna find a lot of shit for me They don't want to ship for you, but as long as you don't stick your fingers in the kids asshole So drugs to the kid or you don't beat your wife. You can't judge you like that. Yeah, and I'm cool I got none of that. I'm cool. I'm cool with that shit. So what uh, what do you have to fear?
Starting point is 00:32:18 You made a mistake in 1987 you paid for it and you went on with your life That's what the story is that they look at my background check. Yeah, I had a couple coming kidnapped a bitch And he's showing up next this weekend in Tempe. Oh, yeah, Ken Vell is coming to the top of your problem Friday night You're getting your tweet cleared Right. That's that's what's up though. Listen, bro If you judge it, this is this is why I don't like this latest shit that somebody molested me in 89 Someone molested you. No, I'm saying that this latest shit. Listen to George molested me last night Let's call the police right now. Let's make sure that everything is all right

They wouldn't have fucking pled down They wouldn't have pled down with nonviolent. Okay, okay, right? They might bet I thought it was like no It was have grabbed them. No, it was heavy-duty, but at the end of the day, no the stories collaborate I feel you they wanted a conviction They're like the reason yeah, the reason why I kept in contact with the victim why I made a reach because at the end of the Day, it wasn't the victim who ratted me out. Oh, it was the biker. Oh, I feel you now I found that out a year later, but I knew that all along that
Starting point is 00:34:10 Bella didn't talk first Yeah, you know they went to Vella at the hospital later and said what happened He's like, I don't want to talk about it. Yeah, and then days later.

I don't know if he was in the closet if he wasn't but you want me to tell you something, bro He was a good-ass chicano
Starting point is 01:03:16 I said we were talking one day and he goes what's on your mind? You know like he's a piano player, you know, they walk out of the store and they go on the bottom This is my second day in LA Lee remember, what was the lesson two weeks ago if you commit the universe takes care of you? Well, I'm here. I become a regular that monday Before the comedy story I got a call from my so-called manager and an agent wanted to sign me If I had a headshot, I'm like what the fuck is a headshot? What are you talking about? Yeah, they need a headshot immediately
Starting point is 01:03:47 If you go out on theatrical auditions, they're great agents that night the comedy store I was telling this guy that he goes all right. Do me a favor Where do you live? I go hollywood. It was perfect. I live in hollywood. I still remember where the place was it was down the It was down the block from this disgusting restaurant that's still there It used to be you ever see the movie american pimp No, american pimp was a huge brothers film or something. I don't don't quote me. I might have I might have There used to be a famous hamburger stand on sunset where there used to be hookers And but that place down the block from that. What the fuck we talking about?
Starting point is 01:04:26 I don't think you know it There's 2001 and there's like a hooker out there Jesus christ It was your second day in LA. Yeah, your second day and I met him over there for the headshots and dog that dude goes come by my house 11 10 and he took headshots they developed in that night and I went over to the corner of labrayer and I made 10 copies That was that bro. How much was that like five bucks in those days? It was like three dollars a copy Damn, I don't remember that dude. I said, what can I do for you? You know, just be my friend
Starting point is 01:05:03 And he did my headshots those headshots there Those days agents were saying, you know We're rejecting those you have to have either these three had people take your photograph And then we'd fall under the piece and I was like, fuck you a headshot to headshot, bitch Even then I knew you're not sucking me into those photographers Fuck you. It was like a union, huh? Like it was. Yeah, it was really clickish as shit No, you have to have headshots from one of these five people And they would give you a sheet of paper and that's what you had to do your head shots with if not they wouldn't take you
Starting point is 01:05:34 But these two sisters took me and they got me auditioned and me and whatever they got me started But the point of the story is that this dude just approached me. He didn't want to suck my dick He wanted nothing from me, bro. He was just straight up gang suspicious doing he goes I'll take your picture tomorrow in my backyard That's what's up. He did it for like and there was an hour out of his time and he made my fucking day I never forgot that headshot that Joe Rogan posted. Uh-huh. That's that headshot. Wow.

Starting point is 01:06:06 They're gonna they're gonna have that headshot after that. I got headshots with a different photographer But I had that I I still had like five of those the six of those Because in those days, you gotta take your resume and staple it behind the headshot Okay, so you got to make copies of your resume And then cut it to the size of the exact size of the headshot and couldn't leak over the sides It had to be perfect So you got to do that staple the corners and then you had to bring it to the agents every two or three weeks to refuel You know, it was crazy. It was a complete different world, but I was on top of that shit
Starting point is 01:06:40 My agents never called me and said we need headshots. That's the worst neck I happened to you in those days As soon as your agent would call and say you need that shot now. You don't even find me the headshot All those headshot places are out of fucking business straight up gone No, it's a it's a different world and it's good that this movie came out You got a little light shed on your taco shop.
