You're a fucking hoar. There comes a time around the fourth year that you just want to do everything That's what it needs to do
Starting point is 00:02:47 To make it happen But then you have to tighten up your seat belt at some point in your career and stop being a whore And that's when things start happening. Yes, and for me it started by taking advice from others You know, I would listen to a joe rogan had to say to me if arry had a plug and a joke You know, I trust arry. You know i'm saying if I had a problem with something Uh a gig or something you have to let your ego down Yes, a lot of times and I've known you since the beginning. I mean when you're opening up for dice 99 I think you were the first person to put me on stage at the comedy store open mic in 2000
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah, that'll be september 2000 october 2000. It's crazy how This has been a journey for the both of us and when I see you, you know, you're from philly Yeah, you're catholic. Yes, you've never seen the exit system. You take will not seriously You run charities. I mean, there's so many good things you do. So when I'm around you makes me feel better like that You're one of the guys I went to martial arts with when I was Up to 16 years old you decent kids didn't really curse They did not drink. They did not smoke pot. I found them entertaining and I enjoyed them Yeah, but they didn't want to go get pussy like they wanted to hang out. We were geeks
Starting point is 00:04:00 You know karate geeks. Yeah, and at that point you want to go you want to finger speak? You want to listen to blacks have a drop ass I had two sets of friends for a while. I was trying to make two sides of the fence And the karate guys didn't know about my crazy friends and my crazy friends didn't know about my karate friends And then I had to make a decision one day Yeah, and I went with the crazy people because the karate guys and I loved them daily Right, they weren't as much fun. They weren't as much fun They wanted to save their money and go to honduck in new york and look at that fucking geese and help all equipment
Starting point is 00:04:32 And rubber pads for your head so you could beat each other up But it's so weird how whenever I see you like I could talk to you and I know you give me a straight answer, you know, everybody in this town will smoke up your ass And that's what happens to people Lee and I were talking about a comic we saw that that's just damaged From what this town did to him. It's easy to happen. That's gonna happen very easily because you know, it's so weird Remember when you used to open up for paulie from yeah Did you ever have a night when people come up to you and say, you know what we're so happy you were here
Starting point is 00:05:05 You were so much funnier than paulie Yeah, but then you see them go over to paulie and go paulie. You're so great. We love when you're like look at fucking people Yes, there's so fucking wormy. You know what I'm saying? I think that's part that was part of mitzi's logic to make us work the door So we could get an appreciation for what that audience was You get to see people who they really are and she would like so you would have that planted in the back of your head like Are you gonna change who you are to please these people because that was one thing remember once I did a joke in front of her And she just goes you're better than that That's all she said and I was like, well, she goes
Starting point is 00:05:39 I don't want to see it again. You're better than that I remember It's weird when you do a fucked up joke and it kills the room and you feel it and you Feel like an asshole, but this week I went to tempi and this has been I don't know I mean, we've been doing the podcast how long now five years six years So maybe the second the year and a half we had the guy kidnapped to call in I love it when you call me your kidnapping the kidnapping I had him call in and I apologize to him and I sincerely meant that from my heart
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah, I'm saying I really meant that from my heart. It's crazy as it sounds guys There's a couple calls I got to make this sadly matter had like a nervous breakdown in my hotel room about a different situation in my life I have to take care of Okay, you know, I have like three of those loose strings that I really have to take care of forget my daughter That's never gonna happen But I got to open up the line of communication with my sister again The phone call with my sister is a tough phone phone call She feels cheated
Starting point is 00:06:45 You know I'm saying yeah, she lost her mother her mother left her there. So she has a void in her heart There's a bunch of issues when I talk to her and it takes me three days to get over Yeah, like when I hang up the phone, I gotta have two martinis. I don't even drink fucking martinis. You know what I'm saying? So, uh This family I grew up with in jersey. I gotta call them soon It's starting to eat away at me. You know, I'm an old school cat like I feel guilty whatever Yeah, and I want to make amends, you know, that's every mercy that came into my life So I've kept in touch with this kid and the kid nappy And I keep talking to him, you know, and I call him and I ask him how his mother's doing because that's why he moved to
Starting point is 00:07:23 Tucson and yeah, and we talk, you know once a month whatever So this time we talked up to the point where he was coming to the show Wow, you know, and then Thursday, he was coming and I didn't hear from him Friday. He called me I was a kickboxing. I called him back And he goes my mother's been in the hospital Oh, Jesus Uh, so I don't know if I can make it tonight, but I'll definitely see you for dinner tomorrow night And I never heard from him all night. Okay, and I didn't remember till in between the two shows
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, and I gotta tell you something. I went back to my hotel room. I was kind of depressed Like I was really sad about it. And I said, I go wait a second Why would he want to come see me? Yeah I fucking kidnapped him and put him in a trunk on a car for eight hours that guy He probably had to go to therapy for eight years because of what I did to him Why would he want to see me? You know what I'm saying? Like what what the fuck do I think I am That this guy's gonna pop up here and be my friend like he even said let's go to dinner and let's catch up But I gotta guarantee that before he gets in his car. He's like one of my fucking crazy
Starting point is 00:08:31 This is the guy that put me in a fucking car and then put me in the hands of some other guy Who thank god he was driving without his headlights on and he got caught This shit fucking bothers me, you know, yeah, but then I came to terms. I go, what do I expect out of life That people are just gonna forgive you. That's bullshit that they just view in the bible like you that people are really really really gonna forgive you It's kind of weird You can't the way I look at it is for me personally My job is to forgive
Starting point is 00:09:06 That doesn't mean I expect it from other people does that make sense like you I think you're doing everything right with that situation because you're even you're even being compassionate enough To think about things from his point of view. Do you know what I mean? Yeah that it's got to be painful for him and fear involved there, but The simple fact that you created this relationship is a miracle to me to begin with you know what I mean And maybe there could be that legitimate healing that legitimate like No, but then I turned the table to life, you know what I mean the tables around
Starting point is 00:09:37 I thought to myself wait a second somebody put if I had two kilos of coke Yes, and I invited you to my house And you robbed me what I want to see you not fucking really like I actually said that to myself Started laughing my ass off right in the morning and then I fell asleep right By the way, that's why I fell asleep on the plane there because I was fucking tired Like I didn't sleep that night. This is going through my head I was sleeping at the airport and out of the corner of my eye. I'm like that looks like skinny uncle joey You must have lost 20 pounds since the last time I saw him.

There was nothing worse than feeling stupid Yeah, and I I did it over a fucking broad, you know something like I I got so Infactuated with her, but I forgot about yeah, like I felt geography. I don't figure I went to summer school for geography and math
Starting point is 00:48:01 All right, and like I couldn't even resist her pussy. I like I I stopped going to summer school just to dry hump and be there in the daytime. That's how weak I was, you know just weak But that taught me like a big like I couldn't let my mother know I got left back So I had to live on the straight narrow now So I had to study every night. There was no reason why my mother would have to get called to school. I was very gotcha I had to live for four years very carefully Yeah, I couldn't
Starting point is 00:48:29 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I I took my mother away from the game like I yes I didn't let her know anything. Yeah, no reason to even know she kept asking me I'm like, when are you going to graduate? And I said, you know what? I'm supposed to graduate, but I'm going to basketball camp instead. Gotcha. She's like, am I going to make me so depressed?
Starting point is 00:48:47 I can't believe I'm not going to see you graduate. I'm like, ah, you'll be here to see me graduate high school. And I kept going. The lie just kept going. That's how lies work. Then I got into the freshman year and fucking, I'm like, when is this going to stop? Then suddenly, and I'm like, I always said in that story,
Starting point is 00:49:06 when I found it dead, the first night came to my mind, was I knew she wouldn't find that. I got that back. Like I just knew it wouldn't come to that fucking time. But New Yorker, that was the girl's name. We stayed friends, you know, we tried to stay friends or whatever. And then we became kind of friends.
Starting point is 00:49:24 We all played together. I got over it. I started going to karate and I started playing basketball more and I got back into the string of things. And I forgot all about it. You know what I'm saying? I think I started dating somebody else,
Starting point is 00:49:35 a girl that's dead now. God bless her so, her lead in karate. And we were friends, like just like how long goodbye was friends with her brother. You know how it is. Yes. And one day I'm leaving the house and Valentin goes, hey man, take a ride on this bike.
Starting point is 00:49:49 It doesn't feel right. So sure enough, when I hit the left on the corner, I felt that the steering wheel wouldn't move fast enough. Gotcha. Like the steering wheel needed a WD-40 or oil or something. So I just took the thing to Charles Court and I went up the hill. You know, I didn't stand up.
Starting point is 00:50:07 So if the chain broke, I would fall. I just add old, gently. And I went up Charles Court and I got to the top of Charles Court and they were playing. I put the bike down. Charles Court is one of those streets that's a loop, a cul-de-sac and sort of,
Starting point is 00:50:20 but it does have an island in the middle. Cool. And a girl lived in that house. There was two houses in the middle and there was a bunch of bushes and shit. The guy on this corner was the guy that was working with the Iceman. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:50:32 That block was a hot block. That was the guy that was the guy that taught, Iceman how to use the poison. Mr. Softy. Mr. Softy lived on Charles Court. So we were all playing. Charles Court had Sabatino, Dean Altman, those two kids that the father was,
Starting point is 00:50:53 Mr. Softy, Alarisa. They had their own little community on Charles Court. You didn't have to leave Charles Court. Charles Court had their old kids that played with each other. So giving that terrace would go over and play with Charles Court. The specials, Valentine, Michael Clemens.
Starting point is 00:51:08 And by that time they wouldn't say it in English to his face. They would say it in Spanish. And then to the same. To Valentine? No, to Michael Clemens. They would say, Me to tine piolos.
Starting point is 00:51:19 That means Clemens has fleas. Alarious. Pioos. Pioos means fleas. So after all this spick thing and spick that. How many times did he have lice just once and he never lived that down? His whole family had it and they lived,
Starting point is 00:51:33 they could never live it down. People wouldn't go to their house. People wouldn't sleep over there. What a mistake and stuff. Forever, he had fleas. Me to tine piolos. He still won't friend me on Facebook. But he won't friend me.
Starting point is 00:51:47 He can't get over it. He won't friend me on Facebook. Not because of that. Why won't he friend you on Facebook? Because one day we were out there playing and Michael Clemens got into an argument. Carmine Balzano, son of Anthony. God bless his soul too.
Starting point is 00:52:06 So something, they got into an argument about a bike. I don't know. I was not there. I was there but I wasn't there. You were there but you're not there. Yes. So it's a summer day. Otino's on the balcony yelling racist stuff for people.
Starting point is 00:52:19 The tooth guy. Those are noties are out. Puerto Rican Nelson lived there at the time. The pervert. They lived behind the fucking. This is the best TV show ever. Best TV show ever. I just imagine my head leg of the house.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I took you. I took you there. I showed you. If you watched the film, I'll show you. I'll show you a Puerto Rican Nelson lived. There's a noties. Then across the street was Raul. Raul lived across the street.
Starting point is 00:52:44 While they were moving in, me and Michael Speciale broke into their house while they were moving in. So I had a stereo. So I stuck the stereo and I had it in my bedroom. Guess what? I became friends with Raul. So Raul would come over to my house. I wouldn't let him in my room.
Starting point is 00:52:59 My mom would go take Raul to your room. I don't care if I go in my room because I had a stereo in my room. Oh my God. While they were moving in from the Bronx, we robbed their house. And for years they kept saying, well, this is a terrible neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:53:10 We got robbed as we were moving in. Oh. As they were moving, the house across the street always had drama for me. They could never have the right renter. Next to them was the girl named Grace something and her sister. And they were really cute.
Starting point is 00:53:26 They ended up moving to Teenac when we were in high school. On the top of the block was a girl named Grace Savoyer, AKA the onion. Because Savoyer means the onion in Spanish. And her mother was hot. Hot mom. Hot mom. And they were really sweet.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Grace was very sweet. But Grace's mother was having an affair with like an older man that was married. And this is way before Beverly Hills cop dog. This is 75, 76. While he was up there fucking the mom, we put potatoes in his gas pipe. And he tried to start the car.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Nobody knows what I'm up to. And the car wouldn't start it. He would fucking die. He'd have to put potatoes, he'd put his fucking die. And he would never look there. God, maybe it's good kids have TV now. Because maybe the whole iPad's out of there. Keep them out of trouble.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Oh, my God. They probably, do you think the police reports about like the given or terrorist like kid gang, like someone's gonna happen? It was just, guys, it was just growing up. It was just growing up. I didn't do any of that stuff. No, no, it's just growing up.
Starting point is 00:54:38 You cannot. That's incredible. That block, I used to have, I used to have a backyard. And it was that block, it was one foot block inch thick blocks of concrete. Oh yeah. And you're supposed to put concrete in the middle of them.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. My parents were Puerto Ricans. They didn't do that. They just laid the block down on the dirt. Yep. And I put, turned that into a basketball court. That's why I was such a good dribbler. Oh, because you couldn't dribble everywhere.
Starting point is 00:55:06 You could, no, no, no, no. You couldn't dribble on there. I figured out how to hang a basketball court in my backyard and have three on three games. And dribble on that floor. It was, it was, you'd be dribbling, the ball would jump out of your head. I figured out how to dribble because I would dribble there.
Starting point is 00:55:21 But not only did I have a basketball court, I turned it into a pseudo baseball diamond. And I had the green monster, but it wasn't my yard. The green monster was the O'Rourke's yard. Next to us, nice as white people you ever met. You know, very polite. We'd bring all the like Christmas cookies and shit. They could not take us.
Starting point is 00:55:39 We were playing fucking Spanish music. Because the balls always go, oh gosh. The Spanish music. So I built a fake brick wall and called it the green monster when they went on vacation. Was there a fence between your backyard to know? There was a fence. So you would hop the fence,
Starting point is 00:55:53 then put the wall over there? Put the wall over there. So if you hit a home. So we put, we put an extra guy over the fence. And we put it right. His job is just to. So I just took bricks and put them together. Real bricks?
Starting point is 00:56:05 Real bricks. I took them one day. I bought them from Rental Lumber. I think my mind got them for me. They delivered them to my house and they put them in my backyard. Me, one by one, I took each brick, jumped the fence with each brick, I threw them over
Starting point is 00:56:18 and I built a wall that was probably five feet. But it was just made of brick. There was no concrete. Okay. Are you following me? It was just made of brick. That's not a very sturdy. No.
Starting point is 00:56:31 So I made it stay like this. I don't know how. And one night we're having a softball game there. And there was this kid that has bad acne on my block. Michael Speciale. He had the worst acne ever seen in life. He had a pimple on his lip one time. It was a, it was a whitehead around the blackhead
Starting point is 00:56:51 that had gotten infected. Oh, that had a hurt so bad. And he bit into a cheeseburger and the thing popped right in front of us and you saw the pus on the cheeseburger. I will never forget that. And that place is still there. That burger place.
Starting point is 00:57:01 No wonder you never ate cheeseburgers. Oh my God, it was disgusting. He had pimples everywhere. He had the worst acne. He had the worst. I had bad acne as a kid. People would torture him. He had it on his back and his neck
Starting point is 00:57:12 and they were horrible, horrible whiteheads. Like that just stuck on an inch. Like when you talk to him, you want to pop him. Yeah, yeah. Let me get that popped. Let me pop that fucking zit on your forehead. Like it was just a horror shot. He was playing out for you one day.
Starting point is 00:57:29 And I hit like a bomb. And he's running towards it. Hang on. The door, the door, the door is the wall. Like Carl Yastramski, I mean. He's running towards the wall. And brother, guess what this motherfucker does? He tries to put his foot up on the wall.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I'm finally one of the guys. Wait until they see how good of an athlete I am. And he fucking went through that wall. You should have seen the lifting on his face. All the bricks were on top of him, stitches the whole thing. He won't talk to me either. Oh my gosh. Listen, I talked to his sister and his sister
Starting point is 00:58:13 and me connected out here 15 years ago. And she told me that she asked him if he knew me and he goes, nope. And I go, that's a lie. She goes, no, he makes believe like he doesn't know you today. Wow. Because the abuse on him was so bad.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Like he still, like he only talks to one kid and his younger brother died. So he always blamed us. Didn't blame me. Cause I wasn't with the brother when he died. Me and the brother. He was a kid when that happened. He was 16.
Starting point is 00:58:49 The brother that died was 16 and Michael was probably 18. What was his nickname? That's sad. What did they call him? Creature feature or something. They called him something. So it's the sister older or younger?
Starting point is 00:59:06 Younger. And she was about five when Dominic died. So she calls me from time to time. We always talk on his anniversary, August 4th. We went to THC Crystal and he took it one day with these older guys and jumped into not like a pack-on but the quarry or something in Jersey.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Dude, that was always happened. Like those late 70s, that stuff was bad. And he fucking drowned. And I still have a picture of him. I like to candle from every Monday. And I put a glass of water for him. He was my goomba. But he got involved in something
Starting point is 00:59:40 and I stopped banging out with him. Like I just, we all grew each other. But we went to offense, defense, football camp together. We did a bunch of things together. But the older brother hooked up with, he quit high school and he hooked up with an older woman. So when the brother died, he blamed it on himself. And not being there.
Starting point is 01:00:00 But what happened with Michael Clemens at the end was that one day Anthony and him, Anthony died. But Anthony was always getting into arguments. And then when a parent would come out, Anthony would yell at the parent. And then when the parent would say something to him, Anthony would go home and get his father to beat him up. And it was classic.
Starting point is 01:00:20 And at that time, everybody knew of Carmine's reputation. He was the toughest guy in the neighborhood. He was the mayor's driver. And he was a detective. And he was involved with a lot of people and they were lighting fires. So I used to call him the torch. Because he had a go-go bar slash flea market.
Starting point is 01:00:40 In the daytime, it was a flea market. And at night, it was a go-go bar. So it was known that he was good at fires. But one day they actually called him. He tried to light the go-go bar on fire. And some kids were outside playing. They're like, mister, there's smoke coming out of the building. He's like, there's no smoke.
Starting point is 01:00:56 You're not saying anything. He's five hours apiece. Those kids went out and called the police. And then they tried to prosecute him. Wasn't he a police officer? He was a cop. And he still kept his job. And he got, yeah, cause he faked a heart attack.
Starting point is 01:01:11 So you faked a heart attack instead of going to jail. And you don't have to answer questions until you get out of the heart attacks and you get your attorney up. So if you're getting in trouble, you get a heart attack, a fake heart attack. And you're fucking, oh yeah, this was classic. So by this time, he was notorious.
Starting point is 01:01:28 He had already beaten up Mr. Robson. Did you guys see it? Yeah, that's how I became friends with the family. Oh, I remember. You stood up for the kid, right? You stood up for Anthony, right? I stood up for Anthony by mistake. Like not knowing just from what I had learned
Starting point is 01:01:43 and you just moved there, right? From New York. I had lived there for about maybe a year and a half. And I had not gone to play with those kids. I was petrified of those kids. Yeah, I remember that feeling. Those kids didn't look like the New York City kids. But I know they looked a little harder, a little weirder.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Yeah. But once I got out there, I liked them. And I became friends with this Italian family. And you know, anything he gave, bro, he did a lot to me when I was growing up. I had a no-show job at a harvest man as a janitor. I had a no-show job at a park. Our dog, he took care of me.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Like it was fucking- Yeah, understood. You were a family. I was telling him, I was telling Lee last night that his famous words to me always were, if you want to kill somebody, invite him off for dinner. And I was like, eight. And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:02:28 Eight inappropriate advice. I met him when I was 10. I'm lying to you. I met him when I was 10. From the time I was 10 or 11 to fucking after he did it, then he finally invited somebody to his house and he shot him seven times in self-defense. In October of 83, he fucking shot a guy.
Starting point is 01:02:45 In October of 82, he shot a guy seven times in the back in self-defense. They found out he ended up owning the guy half a million dollars, that's why he shot him. They put a gun in the guy's hand, the guy laid him down and Carmine lost his job, but he never lost his pension. Wow. This was a crazy block.
Starting point is 01:03:05 He was the king of the block. So, but he lived on by the park, but giving that terrace belonged to him. And Anthony got into an argument with Mr. So, it's a summer day, everybody's on the, they're all Italians, everybody's on the fucking block. Michael gets into an argument, Anthony, Anthony gets into an argument with Michael's father.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Anthony goes, really? I'll run home and get my dad and we'll fucking figure it out. He came back with Mr. Carmine handcuffed and beat him up in the neighborhood in front of everybody. Just started punching him like you see in the movies. With the handcuffs on and the guy's yelling, police brutality, police brutality. And everybody started sweeping.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Not my business. Everybody on the bunk started sweeping or they went inside the house. The only person who stayed outside was Otino yelling in German and shit, whatever the fuck, and his Nazi wife. Was that the one where he had two cruisers come up and they were running tickets to fake people?
Starting point is 01:04:00 Yeah, and then the cops would come, they'd write fake tickets and then he beat him up handcuffed. And then he unhandcuffed him. To make him apologize? No, he unhandcuffed him and left him on the floor. And then they were yelling and screaming, didn't anybody see nothing, we're gonna press charges. And the whole block was like, we don't know nothing.
Starting point is 01:04:28 We don't know nothing. So he got really, he never friended me. He never friended me, I tried, he's active on that. Yeah. He never spoke to other people from the neighborhood. No, he never. He just wants to. After that day, you know how embarrassing it is
Starting point is 01:04:44 to see your dad get beat up and nobody fucking stick up for him. Yeah. But after that dad became friends with Otino though, because Otino said I was tied up with karma and he's like, oh, okay, I won't call you a spick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was allowed to sit on this block and talk to him at night
Starting point is 01:04:59 and I'd go over there at night and sit there in the summer nights and talk to him. That was a very interesting block, man. That was a very interesting Puerto Rican Nelson, the pervert, the one who would play football with us and shit in the robe all the time. He always had a robot, bro. It was the weirdest fucking thing.
Starting point is 01:05:18 This is the greatest TV show that's never been made yet. I'm serious, Joey. This is too good. I love how this all started with talking about forgiveness too. Yeah, this is what it's about. It's forgiveness, really. I never forgot none of those stories. I never forgot that.
Starting point is 01:05:34 And there's more, like when you bump into people, like I talked to Gina a lot. Who's sister was that? Gina lived on Charles Court. I just talked to her two days ago and she's like, are you on the podcast? I want to talk some shit. So I might have a call with her.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Oh, that'd be great. Yeah, yeah, I still talk to her. One of the guys, the people who took me in there, he's running for something in town, this May 5th or something. I don't know what happened if he wanted that. May night, I don't know when the election is, but it's weird that when we went down there,
Starting point is 01:06:06 remember the guy came out, me and Lee went to that neighborhood. We saw him, that street is completely different. That's at one time, that street, in the summer, it would have 15 kids on it. Yeah. 15,000 kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:22 And the street over 38th Street Park, they had to be 30 there, and Charles Court had about eight or nine. Yeah. Liberty, even the block where the school was, that block there was a hot block. It was the Masinas, the Cannellis who's called into the podcast, Ray Canella.
Starting point is 01:06:38 He owns the fucking horror show thing. Richie Vanecek lived on that block. There was a Deba Moussela, that was a hot block too. We had four or five. We don't talk about good times, all those people. And then you talk about across the park, the Balzano block, that was Carmine Balzano,
Starting point is 01:06:54 Carlos Perez, the Carnies, Brian Carney, one time we pissed in a bottle, we put a lid on it and put it back in the six pack, and he took it out and drank the piss. It's hysterical, you can't write that shit, you understand me? He was sitting there for an hour with this piss, just drinking and going, man, hilarious. We pissed in the nip, one of those eight ounce beers,
Starting point is 01:07:13 and we put the lid back on. This little pony bottle's a little bit. So this day, anytime you mention Brian Carney, they're like, man, didn't he drink piss one time? I love that, nobody ever gets over the most embarrassing worst moment of their life is what they're known for forever. Didn't he drink piss?
Starting point is 01:07:31 Didn't he drink piss one time? And he had sisters and shit you had, the benders you had. You had so many fucking people on that block, like so many kids, and now you don't see a kid anywhere. No. Like not even by fucking accident when you see a kid playing or talking or doing anything.
Starting point is 01:07:52 And it breaks my heart. It breaks my, look at Lee, Lee goes, I never did none of that shit. Like I had fun, man. Who fucking builds a wall out of bricks? I never thought somebody was gonna go for it. In someone else's yard, what are you, why was there a wall there?
Starting point is 01:08:09 Oh, I just left it there too. They came back from vacationing on rocks like, what the fuck? They just saw bricks with blood on it. They were like, what the fuck is going on? I could see my dad just be like, honey, just don't ask any questions. You have no idea how,
Starting point is 01:08:24 and then next to them was the specials, but next to them was an Irish family. And I just became friends on Facebook with the younger kid. He was Vida's age when I was 16. His name was Timmy. Okay. And he had an older brother who was just nuts. Like they had already said that 16,
Starting point is 01:08:48 he had killed somebody, like him and the gizzies hung out, like he hung out with a tough crew that was doing heroin. Wow. Got a girlfriend, Angel and her sister, but two Italian girls that were banging. Do you understand me? Bangin' at 15.
Starting point is 01:09:03 If I was 12, they were 17, 16. Oh yeah, that's a whole. And I'll never forget, we were at the soccer field one day, just minding our own business and we heard like, we looked over a wall and there's Maloney. That was his name, Timmy, and something Maloney brothers.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Yeah. He had an older brother who was crazy wild and people knew not to mess with him. Like he didn't even hang out in our name, but he would just walk past us and look at us like, fuck you kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Like, you don't know nothing about life. And he was fucking Angel. He had dug out like a trench in the side of the building of the fucking hill. And they were hitting, they were hitting in the stink. And we're up there with him wanting, I'm about pussy, he was hairy as fuck.
Starting point is 01:09:49 He flipped her over and was fucking the doggy style. And we were like 12, our heads were about to blow the fuck up. Like we had never seen this in personally. Yeah, that's crazy. This was like the crazy, this had to be like summer of 75. That was like my craziest summer with those guys.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Like we had a great, great summer. Like that Sam summer of Sam and all those, like one of those summers where it was hot, but I'll never forget that. We looked over and we started giggling like little faggots. And he stopped what he was doing. He was like, who's up there? I'll kill you, you know what?
Starting point is 01:10:24 That dude coming after you. The dog we ran. And then he would see us and he's like, I knew it was you watching this. I'm gonna fucking kill you motherfucker. I'll poke your fucking eyes out. And we would just be like scared. Like, oh my God, Timmy Maloney.
Starting point is 01:10:36 He ended up OD in a couple of years after my mother died. Wow. Then the old man died, but the little guy still, and I finally friended him on Facebook. Timmy. And he told me, I still remember you. He had a dog that the dog would just chase rocks.
Starting point is 01:10:53 And he would throw tons of rocks in the dog's teeth you could see would just char. They didn't have tips from Jesus. Even the dog was tough in that house. The dog was tough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I remember when I got a dog, my dog ran away and killed one of his chickens.
Starting point is 01:11:06 And his dad was gonna kill my fucking dog, Crystal. And he didn't. He was a good man. Wow. It's an amazing 40 years later. You still remember every house, every kid, every dog that your neighbors had.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Like, there's one neighborhood I remember. I remember what people gave out on Halloween from the 80s. Like, oh yeah, they gave out a full can of soda. I remember a certain candy bar. It's weird that you can, those memories last forever. I can't forget them. I mean, they're who I am today. That whole neighborhood, when I look at it now,
Starting point is 01:11:43 it's like I'm on high alert. Like, I have to, I go in, I make a left on, given that terrace, I go up the block, I make a U-turn. I go back down to Pass and Plank Road, and then I make a left on Charles Court. I go a loop, I look at all the houses, and it's like, just, it's like going to therapy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Like, you still see the people playing in front of the house. You see the people walking out of that? Exactly, yeah. It breaks your heart. The hair on my arms is standing up. I did that. Last couple, two. It breaks your fucking heart.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Like, it breaks my heart. Like, you know, all the nooks and crannies, you know? Like that house on the corner, a girl, a lady named Faye lived there, who was hot. If she was 30 for seven, she had two daughters, and she lived on top, and her husband was like 55, but Faye was fucking hot. And she had two French poodles that one of them was blind,
Starting point is 01:12:36 so she would have to walk them across the street in each arm. She would wear hot pants with a halter top, big fake fucking titties in the 70s, and I had it in my mind that Faye had a crush on me. Like, remember when Chubsby, I was gonna be, had a crush on his teacher, and he brought a flop. Miss Crabtree, you don't have to call me Norman.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Yeah, yeah. You call me Chubsy. I was just like that. I'm like, man, she wants me. Like, I had convinced myself that she wanted me. So I set up this plan. How old were you? Maybe 13, maybe 12.
Starting point is 01:13:10 I'm like, I'm banging on her tonight, because she would walk over there about 11, and he would be inside. Usually he'd stay on the balcony and watch us, so nobody could mess with her. At 11, he was old. He'd already be sleeping, so I'd make my move. So when I went, my buddies got nice and hammered,
Starting point is 01:13:26 and they're like, come on, come to a party with us. And I'm like, man, I'm gonna stay home. Fuck that, I was going to get Faye. It was a Saturday night. You put on cologne? Oh, I had cologne on my shirt. It was your night, bro. Dog, if I tell you, I even took a flower,
Starting point is 01:13:39 and I hid in the bushes. Cosby's nephew, I hid in the bushes. It's gonna be a great romance. And she came out to walk the dog with a fucking pair of hot pants on the whole top. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? And I crawled up behind her, like a high-fave. She's like, hi, Coco, how are you?
Starting point is 01:13:59 And I go, Faye, I really want you. And she's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I really want you. And she's like, what the fuck are you talking about? I go, Faye, I have such a crush on you. And she's like, Coco, you're drunk. You've been drinking. Go home, please, go home.
Starting point is 01:14:14 And I'm like, starting to cry, but I love you and all this shit. And she's like, go home and finally, she goes, all right, I'll let you kiss me. Get out of here. Kiss her on the cheek or something. And then they go, no, I really want to touch your thigh. And I touched like a little bit in between a thigh dog
Starting point is 01:14:30 and my dick blew up like a gaucho. I had a run home with spew coming out of me. I ran up those stairs. I had sperm dripping down my leg. Just from touching a thigh? Oh my God, just from touching a thigh, I came all over myself. Oh God.
Starting point is 01:14:46 It was fucking disgusting. Oh, and I know her son-in-law now. And I told him, we went for breakfast. And I go, I asked Faye if she remembers when I hit on her. Does she? Oh yeah. And she goes, you should come down now and hit on her. Cause she's like 70.
Starting point is 01:14:59 And she tells Bobby every day, Bobby, I'm a warrior of the never. She was, she's still hot. You know, she's still bangable. We went from down and banged. Her own son-in-law tells me from time to time. If you want to bang her, you can still come down. What did her daughters look like when they had to?
Starting point is 01:15:16 Beautiful. In fact, the older daughter took me to get my, when I first got my driving test when I was 17, she drove me to the guy that fucking, I gave you the license for 50 bucks. And I reminded her of that. The youngest sister's name was Kathy. Kathy's life didn't turn out that well.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Kathy was a beautiful girl. We all grew up together. I could still see her face and a cute little Irish. Her name was Kathy Cardinelli, but she looked really Irish, you know? Her sister's Dee Dee. Okay. But Kathy was young, my age.
Starting point is 01:15:48 And we grew up together. I'd never done anything with Kathy, nothing like that. We were like brothers and sisters. And then as we got older, she got lost. She really got lost. She had a relationship and it just didn't end well with some guy and then my friend was banging her. And when I went to Colorado, when I came back,
Starting point is 01:16:06 he goes, she's been asking about it, you go see her. Okay. And I walked into her apartment in Union City, right by the police station, and she had on a leopard suit with like crotchless things. Like I had heard she had become like a sex thing, like something. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:23 And I was curious, you know, she had never fucked me. Maybe she'd give me a little stabbing. So she's talking to me. I'm 21 years old. I was in Colorado for eight months. I hadn't seen her in about four years, but we had grown up together. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:35 And it's about 11 o'clock at night, but she tried to blackmail my buddy. My buddy that was fucking her, she tried to blackmail him. But then they became friends afterward. Okay. Right, here's the weirdest thing. They became friends afterward. And he told me she wants to see you.
Starting point is 01:16:54 So he dropped me off, but he didn't come in. He's like, I'm not in the mood to see you. Okay. So I went inside there and she was expecting me. And I went in and we did a couple of lines of coke and we talked, but she kept telling me, hold on, I gotta go to the bedroom. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:10 And what was going on was she had a guy back there that she was fucking. She would disappear for 20 minutes, suck his dick and then come back and talk to me. And I was like, this is it. That's weird. It was fucking, it was real. It was like one old boogie night scene.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Yeah. And I just left there and never saw again, until about 10 years later, I saw her at the track and she already had HIV. Oh man. And she was really skinny and I was standing with some guys and they're like, stop, don't move. And I go, what's the matter?
Starting point is 01:17:36 They go, Kathy's here. She would go, at the end of 93, she was going to the track and just hustling John's at the track. Oh my God. But 10 bucks, 20 bucks, 15 bucks. So sad. Then they found her in a car or something like that, supposedly.
Starting point is 01:17:52 I'll arrest her so, dead. It is, I was thinking about, I mean, not any as graphic as that, but it's weird. Like, I used to think I was smart in school. Like I did okay, cause I could memorize stuff. And there's people who I thought were idiots, but it's like amazing what growing up can do to you. And like, now suddenly that person who he thought was smart
Starting point is 01:18:16 is still working at the high school job and the person who thought he was an idiot, the doctor somewhere, it's crazy. Like, you spend so much time with those people as kids. Like you think you know them and you think you know where their life is going to go. And people change. I mean, people change.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Yeah. That's fucked up. It's a very weird life. You know, and it's been a great journey. And like comedy. Like I think about kind of like the Tempe this weekend. Like how many times we've been to Tempe, you know? And I mean, you're headlining this weekend.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Yeah. Okay. Think about going there as an opener with Paulie that then 15 years ago. Yeah. How good does it feel like internally? Like you're like, oh my God, I used to come to this club and make $150.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Yeah. Like I used to go to Tempe and pick up $500 for eight shows. Yeah. And I was happy to get that then. With no plane ticket, no nothing. You had to drive yourself from California to Tempe, six hours in a car, or the flight's always been a hundred each way to Tempe.
Starting point is 01:19:25 So you basically made $300 for the week. Yeah. If you went to Tempe, if you drove and had somebody drive you, you could save a hundred bucks. But that's 12 hours of your fucking life. Just pay the extra yardstick and fly. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:40 I'm grateful for all of it. Yeah. Like I can't believe like that we were lucky to make this journey. Like I can't believe that. It was you, me, Jim Norton before he hit and Bobby Lee. In Vegas.
Starting point is 01:19:55 In Vegas. This is Jim Norton was just getting on OP and Anthony. Just. Yeah. I think he was still calling into the show then. He was still calling into the show. This is how it started. This is how long I know Steve Simone.
Starting point is 01:20:09 Yeah. That's how long guys. And now you're headlining fucking Denver, South. Yeah. I don't want people to get confused. All they have to do is go to Denver Comedy Works. Yeah. You know, I got a promo code too for tickets.
Starting point is 01:20:22 If they use the promo code nerds, they'll get two for one tickets. And it's Mother's Day weekend. I think they wanted a comedian that, you know, you could bring your mom out to the show. So that makes me feel good. That makes you feel good. It does make me feel good.
Starting point is 01:20:36 And you do. You have, you tell these type of stories only with a cleaner outlook. Last night I went to this thing from dying up here. And some woman came up to me and she goes, you know, you don't know who I am, but we were really looking for you a couple of weeks ago. We wanted you to come to the screening of Andre the Giant.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Oh, wow. The documentary. And I go, you know what? I look like an Andre the Giant, but I wasn't really a big wrestling fan next time. And I gave her your fucking name. Oh, that's astounding. I go, anything wrestling, you call Steve Simone.
Starting point is 01:21:06 And she was laughing. She goes, okay, I didn't know. I don't really know. I know Chief J Strombo and Mr. Fuji and, you know, with the atomic elbow, whatever. Chief J, Roddy Piper told me Chief J Strombo was really Italian. How great to, yeah, his name was Joe Scarpa.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Rod, Roddy Piper was the greatest. He would tell me all the stories. You would have liked him if you two hung out. His name was what? Joe Scarpa. Yeah, look it up. Look it up, Lee. Wikipedia happens to see if that's true.
Starting point is 01:21:35 Chief J Strombo, yeah. That's crazy. I really thought he was a fucking Indian. Yeah. And he used to sing that song. I sang Chief J Strombo. Yeah. Chief J Strombo.
Starting point is 01:21:44 And he also told me that Mr. Fuji was like a gangster. Nobody messed with Mr. Fuji backstage. He told me some crazy stories. Mr. Fuji was really from Hawaii. And he ran stuff. He was, man, I'm serious, man. Oh my God, yeah. What's it say?
Starting point is 01:22:00 His name was Luke Joseph Scarpa. There you go. That is crap. I did not know Chief J Strombo. That's fucking bullshit. That's fucking bullshit. I fucking hate when Indians play fake. What's it say, Lee?
Starting point is 01:22:17 I can't read from here, though. He dead? Joe Scarpa, yeah. Let's see, yeah, he died in 2012. He was 83. Wow. Luke Joseph Scarpa, born in 1928, was a wrestler better known by his ring
Starting point is 01:22:30 named Chief J Strombo. He portrayed a Native American wrestler who wore a war bonnet to the ring and would go on the war path when fans started. I can't even, like, that would never be allowed now. That's like the most racist thing. Is wrestling allowed to be racist? It's not any good now.
Starting point is 01:22:49 This was great. This kind of wrestling was the greatest. Mr. Fuji used to throw rice in your eyes. He blows salt in your eyes. He blows salt in your eyes. And they would say, like, oh, he's Pearl Harbouring. I'm like, they're so racist, so racist. 70s, 80s wrestling was great.
Starting point is 01:23:05 And he used to throw rice into the audience or something. He did something. Yep. Oh, my God. Steve Simone, you're a trip with this shit. Jesus, look at that. He did it for 30 years. 55 to 85.
Starting point is 01:23:18 55 to 85. Wow. I remember him in the early 70s. Nevermind fucking 55 to 85. Yep. Jesus Christ. I remember him in the 80s. He was still wrestling. The 80s, I was doing drugs.
Starting point is 01:23:34 I don't know what was going on. I don't know about right-to-wrestling. It was quick. I didn't fucking know they even wrestled anymore. I knew nothing, you know what I'm saying? But no, it's just really weird. I brought you on today. I wanted to talk about forgiveness
Starting point is 01:23:46 because you're Catholic. It's everything you believe in. I really believed in it. And I thought that he would show up, but he didn't. So, and I haven't heard from him. So now I'm just gonna take it for what it is. You know what I'm saying? That's the gift, right?
Starting point is 01:23:57 You forgive somebody else, so hopefully you can forgive yourself, you know? And that's, I mean, we believe that's in our creed. I believe in the forgiveness of sins. To trust God's mercy. You know, that's funny because I took the bicycle to Charles Court that day and I laid it down and I was playing.
Starting point is 01:24:16 The one that Valentine gave me. Yeah. And I was just playing and I left the bike down and that girl that was dry humping went over and got on the bike. Oh, after Valentine, the handlebars bike? The handlebars, so she got on the bike. So she was going downhill already.
Starting point is 01:24:33 And me and my friends went around the other way to catch her. And as we ran to catch her, she went to turn on to a sidewalk and the thing stuck and she went over and landed on the head. And then that night she got rushed to the hospital because she had a blood clot in her brain.
Starting point is 01:24:51 Dear God. And she lived and she ended up okay, but you know, I went over and apologized for the bike and she goes, no, I know I had nothing to do with you, but now in today's world, she's angry at me. Like she won't friend me on Facebook. You know, then somebody bumped into her and said, you know, he's trying, he's looking for you.
Starting point is 01:25:10 She's like, I don't want to talk to him again. He fucked me up when I was a kid. Nobody fucked her up, man. Then we were kids, we were fucking playing. I never, you know, I live with that shit, but. I think however people feel about themselves, that's how they treat others. Does that make sense?
Starting point is 01:25:27 I don't think it has anything to do with you. Maybe she hasn't had the life she wanted to live, you know? You got a point, brother. How does confession work? I have no idea. It's the greatest thing in the world. So if you say it and they do what they say, you're forgiven?
Starting point is 01:25:44 Yeah, that's pretty cool. Well, it's pretty much like our faith is that Jesus died. He took, he paid the bill that we could never pay. Oh, okay. So when you confess, it's sort of like, you're acknowledging where you went wrong. And the Jews killed him, even though he paid the bill. That's when you know things are bad, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:26:06 Even though he covered the spread. Covered the spread. The fucking Jews still came and stabbed him and fucking. The Romans killed him. It was the Guineas. It was the Guineas. Next thing you know, he's fucking taking pictures on the cross, fucking poor guy.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Anyway, don't forget to see my little brother, Steve Simone, this weekend. Our comedy works south. I got Dick going on, I'm home. Like I said, May 26th, you get the fucking Ice House workout. We got a special announcement coming soon for you motherfuckers.
Starting point is 01:26:40 And that's it, and that's that. Life still goes on, it was the same. What's up, Lee? Steve Simone's doing my show on the 15th. Oh, that's right. At the Sycamore Tower. Sycamore Tower. I got Christina Piziski, we got Theo Vaughn.
Starting point is 01:26:50 So that's next Tuesday night. Tuesday night, yeah. Oh, that's great. Send me a fun show. You better hope we don't have a podcast. Well, let's hope not. Because we're looking at Tuesday night. I forgot, he just called me for Tuesday night.
Starting point is 01:27:01 So, it's always tremendous. So that's the way to end the show, you know what I'm saying? Oh, another one. You're for lunch, Joey. I had shrimp creole or some shit. It's last night, I went to that fucking, I'm dying up here party, you know. How was the food?
Starting point is 01:27:19 The food was, you know, I didn't, me and my wife had the dinner, and then we went there just in case the food sucks. Yep, smart. But there were finger food. It was like pigs in a blanket. I love that. They had these little, what's the pizza?
Starting point is 01:27:30 With just the plain, like cheese and sauce. They call it salad. Like a tomato pie? Yeah, margarita. Margarita. They had that little margarita. They were like a 50 cent piece. I'm about to eat 32 fucking thousand.
Starting point is 01:27:42 Oh my God, I was eating them. They had little tamales. It was nice. It was nice seeing Cheeto. It was nice seeing Eric Griffin. Yeah, they're good guys. I love those kids. Eric came in later on.
Starting point is 01:27:51 I don't say nothing to nobody. Talk to nobody. Yeah. The person said hello to me. Nobody really talked to me. Two people. Yeah. I just talked to my wife the whole fucking night.
Starting point is 01:27:58 It's nice to be invited. It's nice to get out. Yeah, they talked to me and I fucking went and... That's it. That's how you do it. I usually don't go to those things, but it was a Monday night. I got a baby so that I took the wife out on a date.
Starting point is 01:28:09 It's great. Yeah, it's nice. And sometimes you need to do that just to fucking loosen up the house. Are you gonna go to Mitzi's thing on Sunday? I'm not sure yet. I'm not good at fuels. I know.
Starting point is 01:28:18 Especially, I want to go. I've already made my peace with it. Yeah. So it's just how I feel on Sunday. Yeah. That's all it is right now. Yeah. It's just how I feel on Sunday.
Starting point is 01:28:31 I think we're gonna have to. It's Mother's Day. We're gonna have to Uber down there. There's no parking lot. No parking. So Uber's gonna be all over the comedy stores. So I'm not sure yet. You know, you can't bring plus one.
Starting point is 01:28:44 I know. It's gonna be 700 people. So the main room is gonna be the old school and the original room is gonna be the young guys. Yeah. And then they're gonna have the belly room going too. And the belly room going too. And they're gonna have tents outside.
Starting point is 01:28:58 700, 800 people. I know. I get social anxiety around fucking three people at comedy shows. I got anxiety on stage in Tempe last Thursday and I had anxiety at that. Yeah. I'm not getting into like,
Starting point is 01:29:12 I had to switch my flight to fly in for it, but I'm still not gonna be able to get there till like 10 o'clock at night. Starts at 7.30. I figure by then most of the people will be cleared out. I'll see Pauly as brothers, hopefully. Pay my respects. And I'm gonna go straight from the airport to there.
Starting point is 01:29:25 And then home. And Ari's coming in the town. Yeah, he just called. Yeah, he's staying at my place. I'm looking forward to it. I think he's getting in Saturday when I'm in Denver. Okay. So he's gonna be staying at my place.
Starting point is 01:29:38 Well, man, I'm happy you came on tonight. Thank you. I love you. Those stories were the best. I was feeling guilty about the Vella thing. And I know you'd make me feel a little better, but that's it. He just doesn't want to be my friend.
Starting point is 01:29:47 I have to accept it and move on. I made my apology. I truly. See, you've amended your life there. Yeah, no, I had to. See, that's the point of confession, though, Lee. If I don't fucking do this shit, it's gonna eat me alive. I got three more things I gotta do.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Now you have to let it go, though, because God forgave you. Now you have to learn how to forgive yourself. And then that's it. You move forward as a different person. Does that make sense? That's everything. Makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 01:30:10 Nobody's perfect. All right, don't forget Tuesday, the second more tab and don't forget May 20. I mean, we got a lot of dates here, but most importantly, Steve Simone at Comedy Works out. I love you guys. Have a great fucking weekend. And I'll see you guys tip top.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. This the 10 crack commandments, why? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Starting point is 01:30:40 They can't tell me nothing about this car. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Can't tell me nothing about this crack. This weed, my hustle and niggas.

It may be your animals, rules to this shit. I wrote me a manual, a step-by-step booklet for you to get your game on track. Not your wig pushed back. Room number uno, never let no one know how much dough
Starting point is 01:31:13 you hold, because you know. Let's try to breathe jealousy, especially if that man fucked up, get your ass stuck up. Number two, never let them know your next move. Don't you know bad boys move in silence and violence, take it from your eyes. I done squeezed mad clips at these cats for they bricks and chips.
Starting point is 01:31:31 Number three, never trust nobody. Your mom's a set that ass up, properly gassed up. Hoodie the mad stuff, for that fast fuck. She be layin' in the bushes to light that ass up. Number four, know you heard this before. Never get an eye on your own supply. Number five, never sell no crack where you rest at. I don't care if they want to oust, tell them bouts.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Number six, that goddamn credit, get it. You think a crackhead paying your back, forget it. Seven, this rule is so underrated. Keep your family, your business completely separated. Money and blood don't mix like two dicks and no bitch. Find yourself in serious shit. Number eight, never keep no weight on you. Them cats that sweep your guns can hold jumps too.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Number nine, should have been number one to me. If you ain't getting back, they the fuck for police. If niggas think you're snitching, they ain't trying to listen. They be sittin' in your kitchen, waiting to start it. And number three, a strong word called consignment. Strictly for live men, not for freshmen. If you ain't got the clientele, say hell no. Cause they gon' want their money when sleep, hell no.
Starting point is 01:32:38 Follow these rules, you have mad bread to break up. If not 24 years on the wake up, slug hit your temple. Watch your friends shake up, caretaker did your makeup.
