church what's happening now
Don't put me off cause I'm on fire And I can't quench my desire
Don't you know that I'm burning up for you though
You're not convinced that that isn't enough I put myself in this position
And I deserve the input
Las Vegas
You don't even know
Oh shit, Viva
Viva
Here we go
Monday morning, motherfucker's livin'
Learn it, here we go
I'm burning up for you though
Oh shit
I'm burning up for you though
I'm burning up for you though
Oh shit
For you though
It's a ho hum day
Monday the 4th
We're in Las Vegas
I'm taping my Netflix special thanks to you fucking savages
Thank you for the support
Thank you for everything the last couple of years
From Bobby Lengas to Bobby Sharon
To fucking Tammy to Lauren
I mean just the support's been overwhelming
Thank you very much Leon, I mean you know
The Sharon's
The Sharon's, he called today too
So thank you very much, I mean you guys have been great
And this is it
Since I walked into Weight Watches December 9th
Thinking about this Netflix special
If I got it, I didn't want to walk on there
All fucking big and shit
And so this thing started December 9th
I was told in December that I would know by the end of January
Well to my surprise I didn't find out till fucking May
So that just goes to show you how crazy this business is
But I'm very fortunate
I'm thanking Netflix for giving me the opportunity
And you know what man, it's crazy
Because all along I thought I was prepared
And not till last week did I realize
I wasn't fucking as prepared as I thought I was
So these last two weeks I've been a little
I've just been out there banging it
You know for months you do 45 to an hour on the road
And you're developing new material
You're getting rid of shit
But for this special I gotta tell you something
No matter what goes down tonight
I really really tried
Because this is the first time in my life I wrote on a computer
So I always write in a notebook
But my wife got me this iPad
And I started writing on a computer now
On one of the apps there
So the whole act has been put up on a computer
And you get to eliminate lines and this and that
Plus you gotta remember that I go up in front of a podcast audience
So you guys know me
So you understand the jokes
So for the last two weeks I've been going up in front
Of fucking audiences that didn't know me
Like that's why I avoided the comedy store
Because I didn't want and I wouldn't let Jack Junior
Put my name on the fucking list
And I wouldn't do a lot of things
And I would go to flappers cold
Which is a tough audience
It's Burbank
Then I used to arm material at that point of the show
So it let me see a lot of deficiencies in my act
Like a couple nights ago I bombed at the fucking improv
On a Thursday night
And then I did the store Saturday
And ba ba ba ba ba ba
But it's been a fucking great journey
I know one thing that no matter what goes down tonight
I was prepared
The only thing that could happen is something inside
Or I get anxiety or I fucking panic
Which who the fuck knows
But it's funny man I was watching
I don't watch that much sports
I just don't commit to a sport
Because I got a lot of shit on my plate
But I did tape
For some reason something made me tape Game 7
Of Boston against Cleveland
Oh yeah
And I was
I've never been a big fan of LeBron James
But after all these years
I finally got what
He did that
Electrifies audiences
And I also watched Game 1
Against Golden State the other night
Thursday night
Why do you think he gets so much hate?
I mean I hate as a opposing fan
I hate playing him because he's so good
I think he gets fouls called that I don't think are fouls
But uh
He gets more hate than I think Kobe and Michael do
I never gave him public hate
Like I just never you know I'm a Julia
Serving fan so
I go take it back that deep I'm that loyal
But you have to evolve
And I love Michael Jordan
I always was a Michael Jordan fan
This guy was just a harder pill to swallow
I don't know why
And Game 7 of Boston
I saw something that I haven't seen in
20 years
I saw a guy
Change the tide of a game
Didn't he not come out for most of the game?
Yeah like then when he came out
Everything he did
Was perfect to break down the Celtics
Like they were down 0-2
Weren't they? Yeah yeah absolutely
And he slowly by slowly
Dismantled the Celtics
One by one
Game 1 he had 40 something
Points 50 points
They're following him they're hanging all over him
He's got two people on him he's banging
Shit with two people on him mostly
It's crazy it's fucking
Crazy how he dominates the fucking game
And don't get me wrong
I like the Golden State guys too
You know they're great like I've been
Watching basketball for years
So I enjoy it
But just to see
He really doesn't have a great great
Team around them
They changed the team halfway through this
Yeah so it's all him
And I read an interesting article
It kind of goes to what you've been doing this week
He spends a million and a half
Dollars a year on just his body
Between a chef
All the treatments he does
Everything it was it came out
A couple of months ago
But he spends
1.5 million dollars a year
He's 33 years old and has been doing it
For
I think 15 seasons
I think it was 03 something like that
So it's pretty
He has personal chefs
Therapy, hyperbaric chambers
The leg boots
He has trainers
It was an interesting read
And I've seen you do it this week
Just really
There's a work that I saw you do
The kickboxing circuit training one
That blew me away
I saw people my age
But who are in shape
Struggling with that
It was like a 15 station
Circuit training
Listen man
I went on the road early
With Rogan
And one thing he always did on the road
Was work out and I used to say is he crazy
And I'd see Arie walking around with
Weird shorts on and Duncan
He would make everybody work out
And I'm the only guy that wouldn't go downstairs
He would bias the fucking gym
Like guys come down
Let's do a work out and I'd go yeah sure
I'd be in my room smoking cigarettes
I wish I would have known
How much that helps your mind
That's part of the control
That's part of your on stage control
Is learning how to
Dictate your mind
How to take your mind from one place to another
You know I was telling you guys
In 95 and 94
When I was living in Boulder
And really really on top of my comedy game
Yeah I was addicted to coke
And yeah I was having problems with my ex wife
But boy
Was I on top of my comedy game
And fucking this and that
And analytics and goals
And you know
But I wasn't doing the main thing
I was doing drugs I wasn't taking care of myself
For you to
Move forward
You have to take care of yourself
There's no health there's no movement
There was something
And I'm sure he didn't come up with it
But I follow Uriah Faber
On Instagram and he said something
To the effect of
So we don't have to get ready essentially
And I thought that was an interesting
Way to put it
I got a call
Years ago it had to be like
2004
They called me and I read
And I was huffing and puffing in the fucking room
Just from reading
And I was really excited
I'm like man I'll get a reoccurring and shit
And they were like nah nah nah nah years later
I found out what happened
The fuck is wrong with this
It's like a spirit bottle
But years later I found out what the fuck was happening
And it was that for that audition
That the producers really liked me
They were going to add a comedic flair to the show
But when I got there
Joey was a bit too fucking heavy
He had brown bags under his eyes
So I threw away years
Of not taking care of myself in this town
Now I got a daughter
I'm going into a lot of years
What's my day consist of
Whatever I make it
I don't have a schedule
So I could basically sleep till 10
Get up, eat a fucking breakfast
Whatever
Do what I want, no
It's got to be more militarized
I got to be accounted for my day time
It's really hard
Some people get up and go to work in the morning
Most people do, yeah
I don't do that
So if I'm not on a schedule
I'm killing myself to live
I'm just spinning my fucking wheels
So there's days I have to be there at 9
To really zap me which a Monday morning
What would you rather be doing at 9
Than just work out out of the fucking way
Done, done
The thing I dread the most
Is getting up and going to work out
I'm going to have a heart attack
Somebody's going to punch me in the fucking nose
I can't do comedy for two days
There's always an excuse to give yourself
I didn't sleep enough
My blood pressure is too high
I give myself all those excuses
Then I go to the closet and I open it up
And I put my gear on
Because I'm putting my gear on
You know, I don't want to do any of this shit
I'd rather be watching narcos
Smoking dope myself
But you have to
It all contributes into the package
Remember I was telling you one time that
What
Contributes to you being you
Like your whole day
Is contributed to you being you
What do you mean by like what you do as you are
Yeah, like stand up
So you know there's days I don't have to be there
To 11
8.30
I'll get to the coffee shop at 8.30
And order three eggs, two eggs
With wheat toast
And I'll sit there and the first 45 minutes
I just eat breakfast
So at 9.15 I'm ready to fucking write
And I'll sit there until 10.25
Then I run home
Take a piss, put on a gi
And go there
So now I know when I come back I have to do something else
At 1.30 once I get home
I got to jump on something else
Swimming with mercy
Or I got 4.15
Ballet on Wednesday
Did you ever do it as part of a group with other comedians
Or you prefer to do it alone? What's that?
Do like your work through the writing process
I think that the writing process
In the beginning you should hook up with comedians
So you're held accountable
Like one night with one guy
And one day with another guy
Just so you have one night training
And one day training
And you just both write your own material and maybe run it past
But you can get 3 or 4 guys
And go to NoHo Diner every Wednesday
To 1.30
That always works too
Or if you get a bunch of guys
And get together somewhere
Before you go out that night
So it's fresh in your mind
Fresh in your mind
So what changes
When you're writing a special
That now you prefer to do it alone?
I've always written alone
So for me to have outside people
Is just I can't sit down with 4 fucking people
At this point in the game
I can sit down with 4 people to get critique from you
What do you think?
What do you think?
And that's what I've been doing
I got you, I got Theo Vaughn
I got fucking Tony Hinchcliffe on Saturday night
You know I'm bouncing shit off people
I've been working with people
People come up to me and go hey
You just said to me the other line
With the murder burgers line
All these little lines are one minute
Either adding a minute or cutting out a minute
So I'm seeing the big picture
You know it's not that
I'm an ego type guy
That I can't write
I've never written before people before
Like I've never sat down with 5 people
It's just something I never did
Well I always hated
In school I'd ever like to group projects
Not that I was ever the smartest guy
But I didn't like
When someone wasn't
Doing their part of the project
I would get nervous or anxious
About how the grade was going to be
So that's why
I kind of enjoy stand up
Because it's only
You're the only one writing your thing
But I can see where it's also
Like I went to two new mics last week
I went to a mic outside of the house
And I went to the Burbank VFW
Which I hadn't been to
And even though
I'm a one man band I need
Like one day these guys will be running shows
Or the economy
And I'll need to know who they are
To get on these shows
So it's a weird mix
I don't know about
Having a show at the improv
I don't think that deep
You're always getting on stage
No matter what
There's a level
When you commit to it in your mind
That you're just getting on stages
It doesn't matter
You're just looking for sets every night
It don't matter, you're a whore
It don't matter
And it's so weird how
One day you actually
One day you realize
You've been doing something for 20 years
It really changes in your head
When the realization of that comes
Whether you're at a job
For 20 years
I'm talking about even
Fucking general shit
Like you get up one day
When you're 18 and go
Up the corner to that gas station
And one day he promotes you to assistant manager
One day he promotes you to manager
And they put you in charge of tires
And one day you've been there for 20 fucking years
The realization
Fucking hits you
Like the first goal is
10
Like once you've been somewhere for 10 years
That has to fucking dawn on you a little bit
It has to bother you a little bit
And it has to excite you a little bit
Both of those, it has to be
A hot and spicy, what's that
Like a bittersweet feeling
Why would it be bitter?
Because I've been here for 10 fucking years
What am I doing with my life?
I wanted to own a motorcycle shop
By the time I was 30
Do you know what I'm saying?
That's why it's a bittersweet
No matter what happens
Even if you've been somewhere for 10 years
And you're doing great
And you get the medical package
You get five days off a year paid
For a heartbeat
Every day you wake up and say to yourself
Can't I be doing better?
Just if you have a heartbeat
Can I just be doing a little bit better?
Why am I struggling to pay my credit card bills?
Why do I have to move now
To save on rent?
Why am I considering a roommate?
Every three months you should consider
Where the fuck you stand
I did, even when I was making eight grand
The fucking year
Doing stand-up comedy
Even if that
Yeah, but 800 a month
To someone like me sounds amazing
Doing comedy
Just do up stand-up
Know the work every once in a while
I'd get my security
Thing hit
Because every six months
When you're doing comedy
What am I doing with my life?
I'm not bringing any money in
There's nothing going into the savings
There's definitely nothing going into the 401k
There's definitely nothing going into my social security
So I better get a job
Just to add to my social security
So this should end
I still get social security, something
You know, social security is built up
How much you work and how much you make
Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah
And you weren't paying taxes for like nine years
No, no, so who do you know
When you're making un-listened
Always remember, the feds knew exactly what I was making
People with whatever
M44 and you know, what's that shit
1099
You don't give a fuck
You just rip them up and shit
You rip them up and give them back to the mill
Shove this up your ass
I ain't paying this fucking shit
Hilariously
You love comedy that much
Without thinking about the consequences
If it wasn't for my wife
I would have never gone to the IRS building in Square
You still wouldn't have done it?
Fuck no, she talked me into it
She scared this shit out of me
They were the nicest people I've ever done business with
Well, you didn't know them like
They billed you 3 million
Huh? It's not like you owe them 3 million, luckily
No, but they still fucking gave me
A hefty fucking number
It was still, it was six years
I had to pay that shit off
Six years, a lot of fucking years, Jack
Yeah, dude
That's, I over
I probably overpay my taxes
Just because I have no interest
In going to jail, like I'm very
I'm very
Conservative with like the deductions
I don't do meals and stuff
Definitely, nobody's interested in going to jail
Some people don't mind
People don't walk around and go, you know what
I'm gonna beat the government so they get me
Some people, I talk to them, they're doing their taxes
And they take off every meal and stuff
And it just, that seems risky to me
Every time you go to a subway to say
Oh, I was writing or something
Some day they'll get fucking knocked up
But it's just really weird how
Working out
Writing, making you
Like I didn't, for years I did comedy
I didn't fucking sit down
I didn't sit, when I read that thing
And Stephen King to force yourself to sit down
Two, three hours a day
I never even thought of that shit
And for the first month
You're like, what am I doing with my life?
Why am I sitting here? Why the fucking
I remember so many times in 1998
Like I just drove by where I lived
It was on Moore Park
And
Up the block from McDonald's
Right there, right? Right down the block
From that church, on Moore Park
Like Violin? Violin
Violin and Moore Park I lived
In 1998, I got stuck on that block
And I was looking
Into the building, thinking about when I lived there
And I would sit on that little balcony
And I would sit out there in the afternoon
Thinking I was like fucking Stephen King
But nothing, the notebook would be
Wide open after two hours
I was basically just getting sun
And thinking about dumb shit
And I remember like licking
Like having the pen in my mouth
And like two nights before
I was snorting coke with that pen
So now my mouth would get numb
And I'm like, what the fuck is going on here?
Why am I in the mouth numb?
Because I'd be writing with the pen
I was snorting coke with two nights earlier
It was just crazy, but I was
Nothing was getting out
I didn't figure it out till like
My space
That I was writing a little better
And because of my writing that block
My improv skills had improved
On stage, I was a lot more
Sharper on stage
Yeah, I was
You can always tell
One of the differences I noticed
Between someone at my level and someone
Even at the Augustinos level
Ten years in, something like that
It gets more and more refined
And there's less, I've heard people call it
Bad or waste, the words are more important
Right, you look at the words
That'll fucking knock down the tomb
Instead of
It's weird how even storytelling
You have to cut the fat down
And cut the fat down
That's what I'm trying, listen
I'm trying to take an hour's worth of material
And cut it into 28 minutes
So I went a little overboard at first
I had too many fucking punch lines
And no segues
It was just a machine gun rally
I couldn't even keep up the tempo
So I was gonna ask you earlier, is there
And I think you just kind of answered it
Is there a difference
Between writing a 30 as opposed to a 60?
Absolutely
Could you make this 30
Just expand it a little bit more
And do it in 60s, that's what you were saying earlier
So it could be the same set
But you're just condemned
Talking more, you're giving more facts
You're going into a different story
You could slow them down a little bit with a story
While they drop in checks
You know, there's all the psychology to it
It's just not fucking going up there
I didn't notice, nobody knows these things
Nobody knows these things
Nobody knows
I can't explain to you what it's like to drop a check
Like I just went to Jersey
And they do it all weird in Jersey
They do it different at the stress factory
They don't drop checks till you get off the stage
Do you like that?
No, because it throws my timing off
I'm waiting for them to drop those fucking checks
Oh
See, that's really interesting
Because literally every other comic I've ever heard
That's part of the game
But you build it into your set
There's a check drop story
There's not a check drop story
There's just a momentum that builds at that point
I know I've got 10 to 15 minutes
12 minutes
And my material has to be deadly
Because I'll lose them
And I can't get mad at the club for that
I get mad at myself for that
A lot of comics will run off stage
I can't believe they drop checks to them
That's what they do, there's a business
There's a business, I don't know if you know this
This ain't no fucking artistic fucking
Go sell out at theater if you want that shit
But tonight, this is a comedy club
In Jersey, they don't drop the checks
That throws your timing off
You don't know where the fuck you go
I never even thought about that
That's like Monday night tonight
I'm not going to be able to
They're just dropping checks
They're not dropping checks
They give you true drinks before you go on stage
Before the show starts
And is it
Are you taking into account
Because this isn't a comedy club
Do you write differently
If you think you're going to be in a theater?
No, I've got to be funny
Doesn't really matter what room
I don't give a fuck about it
That's what kills comedians
That's a killer right there, just be funny
Don't worry about the room
Don't worry about the color
It's a theater, don't worry about it
Just be funny
I can't explain to you what goes into a theater
What goes into a rock room
What goes into a comedy room
There's differences in noises and sounds
And different effects
If they picked it, it's because
It's going to be like the cheetah
When you're in a theater
And it's 6,000 people, 4,000 people
Yeah, your timing goes a little off
Because your energy has to go out
And then it has to come back in
So you have to be very careful
Or you don't step on your own lines
Interesting
But don't worry about that
Till you're doing 6,000 drinks
What I was more thinking about
Is I was talking with some other comedians
About a bomb I had
And what I didn't do was I didn't adapt
To whatever...
You never adapt to the room
You're in a learning position right now
But aren't I supposed...
No, all you have to do is be funny
For right now
Then as you go through
You'll learn what rooms do what
But I don't ever want you to go into a room predetermined
I want you to learn the room
And if you bomb
That's part of the game
You took a chance
I meant more like
To expand on it
If you do your first joke
And they don't respond the way you think
Would you adapt your material then?
No, keep going
Pound on them and believe in your material
And then later on make changes
But what happens is sometimes
You get too confident in your material
You throw out one line, they don't laugh
You got a steamroller
That means you didn't say it right
That means you got too cocky on the joke
That means you got too cocky on the punchline
There was a look on your face
Maybe the fucking shirt you're wearing
You got too many variables
When you go out there
You got 30 seconds to make somebody like you
Do you know how rough that is
Without opening up your mouth
I look like a fucking criminal
You're a 5 foot 2 guy
That looks like a dumpy dumpy
And I look like a fucking fat fucking criminal
Like this guy could be in the mafia
So that's their first thing
They're reading you from that
There's so many variables
But you don't need to do or die
That doesn't be funny
Especially at your level
You're a thinker and that thinking gets in your way
In all aspects of your life
You think too much
And about shit that don't fucking matter
That doesn't even matter
To what has to do with you or what you need to do
That's the worst thing
When you become a comic you have to let all that shit go
The other night I was walking into the store
On Monday night
You were calling me about Friday
Like I gave a fuck Sunday night
I don't know anything else
Who gives a fuck? It's Friday
But it was relentless in your head
It was relentless
You have to let all this shit go
If you become a really good comic
That shit, that safety net in your mind
Has to disappear
It's really important
Very important that you let yourself go
And that's what some people don't have
And that's what some people
While they never succeed
Because they never let themselves go
And they questioned everything
Go up there and be free
That's why you didn't become a doctor
Or a lawyer
You became a comic
Right now you're in a comic zone
Why think?
You've been doing comedy for six months
Right
And you ask like electronic engineering
Questions on comedy
Just learn what you're doing for two years
Just get out there for two years
And then
That's when I really start to hit you
Don't get absorbed
You know, it's like
Right now you're a poor guy
That hangs out with rich friends
You ever have that feeling
When you hang out with rich friends
And you're like, what the fuck are you doing
And they're like, oh they're in lobster tails
And three drinks and a table wine
For that chick over there
And you don't know who's gonna pay
You don't know if they're gonna make you pay
You don't know where the fuck you stand
Right now
You have rich friends
You have Theo Vaughn
Sam Tripoli and Rogan talk to you about this
And different people talk to you about this
But
This is why I want you to always remember
That you're you and they're them
And what you're gonna get away with
And they're gonna get away with is two different fucking things
And that's why
I don't like comedy in Los Angeles
Because
You don't have these situations
If you're in Boston
Or Michigan or Texas
Or Florida
You're not next to Louis CK
And fucking Whitney Cummings
And these people
So
To you, you look at it at a higher level
Do you know what I'm saying?
I see where it could go
Yeah, right now you're rubbing elbows with these guys
A lot of comics at the six month level
Don't have these opportunities
Most of them don't, yeah
So I want you to always remember your place
Where you are
You know, always remember where you are
And where they are
I've seen too many comics come to this town
Come up to the fucking store
And by the way, they forget who the fuck they are
Because four comics talk to them
How many comics I've seen bounced out of the fucking store
Over the years
Do you have any fucking idea because they've gone up there
And I've said this a thousand times
About everything
That you don't go where you don't belong
You don't go where you don't belong
You know
You go, you look
And you absorb and you boogie
And you keep in the back of your mind
That that's where you want to end up
But right now
If I go up there and dabble
For some reason I talk to a girl
And I end up fucking her in the ass in the bathroom
Now I fuck up my chances at the comedy store
In ten years
So you don't even want to go down there
Like
You come down with me, your family
We've been doing the podcast, you've got a lot of friends down there
But other nights
You stay clear of it
You go to this place, you go to that place
I was asking these questions
Mainly just as interested
With the process you just went through
But even though I wasn't trying to be like that
You're absolutely right
That I do overthink
Everything
It's not going to work for you
You can't overthink it
Overthink your joke and commit to it
And go home
That's why that notebook is so
Important
It's June 1st, I'm going to start it tonight
So important
It's so important
Because to think something
And to read it off paper
It's two different things
When you call me up and you go
My hang of dicks and when you see it on paper
It's completely different
It hits your soul
It's like somebody sticking a toothpick in your fucking soul
In your heart
That's the pain you get
It juggles your heart a little bit
When you see a bad joke
When you read that you bombed
And then you look back at the end of the month
And then you actually figure out how many bombs you had
And how many medium sets you had
And how many good sets you had
Like the percentages are crazy
And you really commit to it
And it just becomes
Like going to summer camp for comedy
And it's like going to summer camp for anything
Whether it's football camp, basketball camp
Baseball camp
The last five weeks
I went to basketball camp
When I was in the 8th grade
And that's what I've been doing the last five weeks
I've had to be accountable
For all my days
I've had a fucking new comedy
For those days
The fourth wall
To the comedy store main room
You know what I'm saying?
Like I've covered everything along the way
From the haha to the flappers
To the improv
I've been everywhere except the laugh factory
So instead of
So instead of
Worrying about what situation
You've put yourself in every possible situation
So whatever happens tonight happens
And you'll be ready for it
And to top it off
I had a couple people call me up
And that were close to me
And they said over the years, especially at the store
And they go, hey, I heard you got a Netflix special
Not for nothing
When I was watching you tonight
They were laughing at this
And I think you wanted to laugh at this
But this is what they were laughing at
And I was like, wow, thank you for letting me know
And what
Is there a reason why
I mean, I know your apology is busy
But
Do you think this will change how you work
Even when you don't have a special coming up
Like should you keep this rate up
Well
I learned from the mistakes I've made
Like I've told you, I enjoy doing stand up comedy
There's people who really enjoy
Doing carpentry
You know what they hate doing me?
Dealing with people and selling that carpentry
Right, they just like making their stuff
They just like making their stuff, I'm one of those guys
Once it becomes a professional level
We'll have to make a living off it
Some weekends bother me, some shit bothers me about it
But I continue to do it
I'm a comedian, this is the fucking nest I made
In 27 years this is the nest I made
All these sets you're doing that you're not getting paid for
You'll get paid for them
Just keep doing them
Don't doubt, don't think it
Why, when, what is my
Ship gonna come in
It's coming in
All I could do right now is to watch guys
Like Dean Delray
Watch what they're doing
Watch what Kate Quigley is doing
And watch what Theo Vaughn is doing
These are the next guys in the rotation
I can't see anybody else
In the rotation with those three people right now
And I've seen them get themselves there
So now in a way
Reminds me of what I did
To get myself in those positions
For them, I congratulate them
Because they did it with stand-up
I didn't do it with stand-up
I got into movies
Until I got into a big fucking movie
And now that let that
Put people on notice
That this guy could do some damage
I'm gonna treat him a different way
Give him different deals
But I think a lot of people
Also have heard when they get big movies
Like maybe if they're doing stand-up they stop doing stand-up
If, like let's say
Your life had gone a separate way
And after the longest yard
You kept doing big huge movies
Do you think you'd still be doing stand-up right now?
Yeah
Because you missed the freedom
Listen don't get me wrong
I love doing a movie and all that shit
But the freedom from stand-up
Especially now
Is so overwhelming
A freedom that I've worked hard to
To get
Like I didn't have this freedom in the beginning
Now I have this freedom
So now that I have this freedom
It's pretty hard to fucking do
Anything else
Yeah you can, now what about the other way
Cause right, it's pretty
I met you right after you had been
Considering working at a
Cardiola ship
Let's say that had happened, do you think you'd still be doing spot?
Yeah, I was always in the new spots
Even if I quit
I was gonna quit
If you listen to the story
I was still going on the road
Interesting
That was it, I was still gonna do spots around town
And still
Audition and still work on movies
And TV for my insurance
I just didn't think
It was a future on the road
I'm not a big fan of
The Ralphie May Road
The Richard Jenny Road
I'm not a big fan about that
I'm not a big fan of what the road does to you
At certain ages, what it doesn't do to you
It's needed
I respect the Rogan Road
How he did it
The first 12 or 15
Whatever years of him being here
He was on a TV show, knock him if you want
It kept him
A man that he didn't have to go on the road every week
And it's so great cause that's all I want right now
I know I'm not ready for what I'm saying
That's my goal, that's it
That's what I do
I tell you
I did it
Like what I wanted in 95
I started succeeding in 96
Which was going on the road as much as I could
And it didn't matter where
I'd go to Elko, Nevada, I would go anywhere
I didn't give, you don't look at it that way
You don't look at it as a fucking dead end place
Till you get to a higher place
And you go, I'll never go back there again
You know, it's just the
It's just the natural
Progression
Progression of, it's not that you're being a bad person
You just decide when I can't go back there
And host a fucking bikini thing
I can't go back there
And follow the asthma bowl
A bunch of people would gas mask on
You know, you go to Elko, Nevada
It's a bunch of people with oxygen mask on
They're fucking 80 years old
They were smoking pot since 1920
And now, I don't know
I'm just, uh
You just grow out of certain places
And you go, I'm not gonna perform there
You know, there's times I go to clubs now
And I go, I'm not coming back here
I don't like how they did this
I don't like how they did that, you know
I want to do things a little differently
So this doesn't work for me
When I come to do comedy
I don't want to have those doubts in my mind
That's why when I go on the road
I don't do podcasts or nothing like that
I just want to focus on stand up
You know, last Friday in LA
They called me on Thursday with an audition
And I refused it
Because I didn't want to learn nine pages of dialogue
Right before you shoot
I don't want to learn nine pages of dialogue
I don't really give a fuck about June 15
As a matter of fact, I'm out of town June 15
So
I don't want to be
I don't even want to fucking compromise those dates
I'm going away with my family to celebrate
So that's it, you know
No, I'm happy I did
What I did the last time
I'm gonna take some time off
Really? Yeah, because
I tell you what, when I shot the CISO special
You keep working
You keep going on the road with that material
And you're just burning yourself up
You're just burning yourself up
That's it, I've been, you know, last night
I did three spots, the night before that
I did two, you know, last week
I was in Jersey, I was in Tempe
You know, the weeks before that
And I've been everywhere, it's not like I've taken the night off
It's like I've been fucking going rough
I've been going so rough lately it disrupted my sleep pattern
Like I've been
You know, staying up till two
One-thirty, you know, like it fucked me up
That way, but I don't give a fuck
You need to do this from time to time
I'm gonna take two weeks off
Then I'm gonna fucking get into some comedy Thursday
Friday, and then Saturday I'm gonna go
To the Calusa Casino
Tremendous
A little something for you, Lee
Thank you for that
It's so nice
And then I'm taking two more weeks off
No, then I'll start writing
The seven weeks I'm staying in
Is basically to finish
The proposal for the book
It's time to get that finished now
So you'll still be writing but something different
Yeah, still be writing and still be going back and forth
Between the book and comedy
Okay, but you're just not performing as much
Not performing as much
Oh, okay
And then once
Like a week before Vegas
I'm really starting back into the system
I have 15 new minutes to try
Now we're down to seven or eight
I got some bits I didn't use
On this 30 minutes, you know what I'm saying
So I'll be doing that
And then the next thing I'm working on is
Immigrant Mentality
Which I already have 15 minutes for
Immigrant Mentality because I couldn't use it for this
I didn't know which boat to jump on
So
I have jokes for Immigrant Mentality
I can use on this special but I'd be wasting my time
Okay
A year and a half ago
Something like that, day of CISO special
Versus day of Netflix
Finally
It's like being in the ABA
And then going to the NBA
Wow
It's like being in the USFL
And then going to the NFL
I'm very fortunate
That I'm going to be there
I'm very fortunate that I got the opportunity
So this is why
You know, this is why I wanted to be a little better
Than I did before for CISO
I'm happy this is a dirty special
I could say some degenerate shit
That I've done, you know what I'm saying
I'm happy they called degenerate
So I could do some of that material
It's time to get that out there
Talk about the kidnapping
Talk about fucking, you know
I'm no Harvey Weinstein, all this shit
You know
So that's it, I'm just excitedly
Fuck yeah, bro
We listen, man
There's no pictures of me
There's no pictures of me, no way
I was not the fucking guy
They were putting their money on
So yeah, this feels tremendous
From that perspective
Now when I see him, I can look him in the eye and go
Remember, cocksucker
When you told Ralphie May
Why was Joe bringing Harvey and Joe Diaz on the road with you
I love to see that guy today
I love to see punks like him today
You know what I'm saying? To remind them
Give them a hug
I just suck my nuts
Get back, I'll work your club soon
But I'm not that type of person
I would not throw nobody under the bus
People make fucking mistakes
I made tons of them
So I'm very fortunate that I'm here
So it's very humbling
There you go
You figured it out, cocksucker
It's Monday, June 4th
Sure, I'm fucking excited, Lee
I wanna be around
To pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks
Your heart
Some somebody
Twice as smart
As I
Yeah
Let me give some shout outs real quick
My man Sammy Sosa
Little Haitian hippie
Getting baked with Lori
I love you
I got the bread, I got everything
The fucking cookies, I got everything
I love you, thank you
Because I lost a note you gave me
I must have put it in my pocket
My wife washed it
But I love getting baked with Lori
I don't even know what the fuck your last name is
But you know I love you, cocksucker
I don't forget the Calusa Casino
June 16th
One night only
I don't know who the feature act is yet
But I'll let you fucking people know
But that's it brother
I feel happy
I feel fortunate
What I started in that little apartment in Boulder
What I went through, it was all worth it
I'm just really happy man
I'm not saying I'm accepted
I'm just happy
I get to shoot 30 minutes
Who gives a fuck about anything else
You seem more relaxed than last time
Yeah
Not like a
Besides working out
Beside hanging at home with the family
Beside doing the podcast
I also went back to church
You know I went back to church
A few times early morning
Just to bring me back
It's been a complete
Different
I stopped chewing the nicotine gum
Cause I was feeling fucking shitty
And I'm off that 8 days now
You know no methadone
No nut that I just quit
I should be irritated because of that
I'm not irritated because of that
I'm 55
I've been in prison
You know so many things have happened
And now I got the opportunity to be on Netflix
The biggest
The biggest showcase
For comics
Somebody fucked up
Somebody fucked up
But they didn't
Somebody just worked hard
Somebody outworked the person
Who didn't want me to be on there
So I outworked that person
It took 27 fucking years
Should I be ashamed of myself? Maybe
At times
But no this is just to let people know not to give up
Don't give up
Who could criticize you? Nobody
They criticize you
When you're in jail, when you're tweeting dumb shit
Or when you're whatever
But they can't criticize you when you're doing the right things
And you're trying to do the right things
I compared my life to 30
25 years ago
It's two different fucking people
It's two different people
It's horrifying
It's horrifying that
Comedy changed me for the better
Like I said it before
I'm scared to do the most
Turned out to change my fucking life
Like a fucking founder youth
I don't fucking know
This comedy was what you were scared to do the most?
Please
We've discussed this before
That the thing that
Is gonna change your life
Is the thing that we're usually scared of the most
Because we're scared to change
Nobody wants their life to change
Nobody, even though we really fucking do deep down inside
Everybody wants to have a boat
With Johnny Uber
And fucking
Get that dick sucked
But it ain't that easy
Sometimes if you get it
It doesn't taste as good
If somebody just gives it to you
Life doesn't taste good
When somebody just gives it to you
I see people who get shit
Given to them all the time
And they don't appreciate it
I appreciate every step
Of this fucking journey
And memory
I appreciate every time
Every time I drive past that fucking grand station
I fucking laugh about a new story
Whether it's getting the blow job
On the way to Buffalo from the stripper
The cops are looking for a rock chest
You know
I think a story is when
The bus stopped for a 20 minute break
And I don't have to go around the building
And smoke a joint
And get a subway sandwich for a fucking
That's all that was open
You know
You can see the lights in his eyebrow
Just the filthiest fucking guy
Who works a bus station
Subway
Some guy that's just missing an eyeball
He's just barely homeless
And just no gloves
He's got no gloves but you're so hungry
You're like just use your hands
I know you took a shit
You're eating that fucking turkey bologna
And that coke cut special
What do you think
Pick a time I was going to say
What do you think Open Mic or Joey would say
If like you could time travel
And be like hey we got a special
On Netflix in 2017
We got a special
Now let me ask you this
Is Netflix the equivalent of an HBO special
To me from the way you
I didn't grow up with HBO special like you did
But the way that you describe it
Where it is the ultimate prize
I think so
I mean obviously
It depends with specials and other platforms
And it's great to have them there
But
Netflix has what is it
I think it's 100 million subscribers
I think that's what they just came out with
Maybe even more than that now
I think more people probably
Are watching Netflix than cable now
I would love to see the numbers
They'll never show up but
Based off of a TV station special
And a
Netflix streaming special
I would bet more people watch it
To me
Especially the people that you really care about
You're not really looking for
Like
The older genre like the Seinfeld fans
Maybe you are
But I think for the relevant
Comedy fans
Yeah they're on Netflix
You know I didn't know
Till recently that
And I'm very impressed by it
I'm very impressed by people
Who are just comedy fans
I've met more comedy fans
The last three or four years
That I admire what they do
Because they're comedy fans
The way I was a music fan
And I really like that
I really really really like that
Like that makes my dick hard
That people really do
I'm a fan of laughing
I'm a fan of fucking laughing
If it has something to do with laughing
I want to laugh
We all want to laugh our asses off
That's why we're fans of television shows
Certain whatever videos
We want to laugh
And it's great when you find someone new
Like we were talking about Netflix
I had never heard about her
And then last year her first special came out
And now I watched her
Second one immediately
Because I loved her last one
It opens the door
And it not only opens the door
For you guys to get fans
And to get people who like you
But
Like someone like Nate Bargotti
Who's in the South
I saw his 30 minute
And it blew me away
I might not ever get to see him
And as
It gets
More accessible to shoot specials
It would be interesting for me to watch
The guys that you talk about that don't leave Denver
Like maybe I'd love them
It's just
It opened up the world
To
Comedy that you might never see
You know
You hear about all these things
With Comedy Central and I personally
I have nothing against Comedy Central
They weren't going to change my life or whatever
But
You know
If you're a consumer
And you're watching Netflix
And you're watching Comedy Central
Lost faith in Comedy Central
Like one thing I learned from watching you
Is
I remember who you were a fan of
Before you started doing comedy
And who you're a fan of today
Once you got on stage
Everything changed
Once you got on stage four or five times
You get to see behind the curtain a little bit
And that guy just ain't that funny anymore
You get to see guys
That talk about their lives
And that guy just ain't that funny
No more
And I know it goes the other way
It goes the other way from people to me
That's the way life is
I'm not ever angry at that
But it's so weird that once you get on stage
Those people aren't that funny to you
Like I said
I like watching Netflix specials
I really do
Don't get me wrong
I really do
But when I sit at the store on a Tuesday night
Watching Ron White
That's as good as it gets
For 20 minutes
That's as good as it gets
Like live comedy to me
Recently
Recently especially after I saw
Dean Delray on stage singing AC DC
Like live
Comedy to me has really come back to me
Like has made me a fan
As a fucking 27 year old
Veteran fucking comic
Well it blows me away and I think
What this is doing
Because I've been going to comedy shows
Since I was in high school
I remember going to where you go in New York Gotham
We were on a college trip
My mom, my brother and I went and I was a teenager
I've always loved it
And then I see on Facebook
I'm with friends with a lot of these podcast people
And they'll post
They'll be like 28, 30
Just going to my first comedy show
And to me I'm like how could you not have been to a comedy show before
But
I think it's opening up
To these people who never even
Would have considered it
To go see live comedy
An experience because it is different
It's the difference between
Going to a movie theater
And having a great crowd opening weekend
Versus going and seeing a comedy by yourself
Couple weeks ago I went to see a play
Remember I told you? I don't even know
I went to see a one man show about Lenny
Lenny Bruce and it was so crazy
How I learned
I really learned
I mean I love theater
I love watching it, it's just bad fucking theater
You know
I don't want to pay $200
For a ticket at the Pantages Theater
That's not a lot, that's a production
I'm talking about a shitty fucking theater
In Hollywood
You have to go downstairs
And you get bit by mosquitoes and shit
And it's BYOB and people are drinking
And then you can smell marijuana
And three people doing a scene
From a fucking something
On stage that looks like it got bombed
Like a state
Looks like something in fucking
Who fights the Jews all the time?
Palestine, it looks like a stage in Palestine
That got bombed by somebody who was on stage
Playing the ukulele or some shit
You know there used to be these little fucking theaters
In Hollywood, there used to be one
By a cross the street from Hollywood High School
They were all over Hollywood
And that night before stand-up I would zip into them
Like I would do, I would go to acting classes
With different students that would do those
To me they were off
Off-Broadway type plays
And they were better than the productions
Like I see the work
Like I would see the work
And that's how I feel about
Live stand-up
Even though I'm about to shoot a fucking Netflix special
Like that's what fucked me up on this special
That it was completely different
From me doing a show
At the comedy store or whatever
This is gonna be seen by people
Who have never fucking seen me before
That know me from YouTube or a podcast
Or not even that
They just gonna see who's coming up on
They're gonna see this show called the degenerates
They're gonna read up and they're gonna watch these comics
Maybe they've never seen Christina
So now it's a different platform
Believe it or not, your first five or four minutes
Have to be describing who the fuck you are
Yeah, it could be their first introduction to you
You know, so you have to describe
So it changes a lot of things
I'm trying to fucking
Hold on to this as much as I can
So I'm happy it's a dirty show
I'm happy I'm shooting for Netflix
And to be honest with you, Leigh
I'm just all around happy
That's awesome
I'm happy because
I don't know if I could even tell you people
It was my dream
I'm just happy that I'm not fucking
Rob anymore
I'm happy that
I have a wife
And a child, so I made
I filled that gap in my fucking heart
I'm happy that
We do this podcast, you know
And it succeeded, six years we've been on
And we've never missed a fucking podcast
And, you know
But
Remember Paul T. Murray
He came on the podcast, guy from Boston
Oh yeah
He was a director, you know
He passed away Tuesday
And anytime somebody passes you
It makes you think about your life
And where you stand
Somebody who's close to you
He directed me in two films
One film was the film that changed my life
When I found out he died
I felt bad because on that movie
I went off on that movie
Because I stopped doing blow
And they were the easiest target
And I went off one day about the table
The food table
Because we had to work on a Sunday
And I didn't mind that they sent us out to lunch on Friday and Saturday
But on Sunday
Have something here for us, have some class
And cost you 50 bucks
You know what I'm saying, like I felt it that way
Like we're working on Sunday
At least when we get off the stage have some chili
I don't care if you go by it's 10 cans of dente more
And put in a crock pot
And just give us that with white bread
It's better than us getting the car
That gives us the family environment
You know what I'm saying, they didn't do that
And I got pissed off
I kinda went off on Balti
And this was
This had to be 2007 when I got off the blow
But he understood
You know, he came over to me later like a man
He goes, bro, you're right
These producers are cheap fucks
They're going to get a table full of food right now
Because I told him we'll call after and see
Let's call after and say I can see if this is acceptable
A fucking banana
And a peach and some date nuts and shit
Nah bitch, they had those things
What do you call those things? Those nuts
That you bite into
Crew nuts, whatever the fuck, that's all they had
Peanuts? No, the other nuts
Walnuts? No
Pistachios? No, the ones that come in the bag
That whatever, they're like 65 calories
And they have all different flavors now
It don't matter, that's what they had
And you know
Even though all that stuff, I feel a little guilty
But
I don't even know what the point was here
I'm still in the fucking game, Lee
I'm 55 years old
I could have been a thousand things
And just to understand
That I'm still in this fucking comedy game
And
All I can think about, Lee
Is 1995
The last seven weeks
What was that? Was 1995?
1995 was
The year that I had to make
Fucking a thousand decisions
And I had a living room
Not bigger than this fucking studio
Wasn't any bigger than the studio
And there was a basement apartment
With a window
Like above the door that had
Three feet of light and there was another window
On that side
And then I had a bedroom and I had a
A wooden, I had a metal shower
And a fucking stand-up shower
And a toilet
There was maybe a mirror on the fucking wall
There was no mice, it was clean
There was no animals or anything like that
It was a clean apartment
But it just defined sadness
Like I never cooked in that apartment
I lived in that apartment for two years
I never cooked a fucking meal in there
Not once
The refrigerator had water,
Soda and beer
What's that called? Fat
Fat tire?
That's all I drank in those days
I had fat tire and cocaine
But that apartment
Was also
Where I would fucking come down off cocaine
And think about all the shit
That I didn't have going on
And think about all the shit I wanted
But somewhere in my life
I thought it would never fucking happen
So I've been thinking about that apartment lately
And all the doubts that I had there
And I say it all the time
I'll never forget
Writing my goals down
With that apartment
And just breaking down and crying
I would cry in that apartment
Three, four nights a week
Like a fucking, like a fucking kid
Because I never thought
That I would put this shit together
And at that time I wanted it so bad
I wanted it more
And I wasn't talking about success
I just wanted to be good at stand-up
That was where
That's where I did
My mindset was very good
I just wanted to be funny
I didn't want to be on TV
I didn't want to be on movies
I didn't think about my future
I didn't think about HBO specials
I thought about nothing
But the
Just wanting to be funny
What is the fucking equation
To becoming funny
Oh, getting on stage as much as you can
Sacrificing
Whatever the fuck you think is important
To get funny
Sacrificing
Jobs and women and kids
And
Different things that normal people would not do
For this dream
That's
What I'm happy about this week
I think about that fucking apartment
And I think about getting on a plane
And going back then feeling
And what it feels like today
If it's still even there
They probably turned it into somewhere
Ripped the walls down
But just that corner
When I heard about
Joe Rogan and Steven Tyler
And they talk about the comedy storm
Being at that studio
When they went for music
And where Leonard Skinner and Little Richard
And the Almond Brothers played
I thought about that apartment
And I thought about
What it had seen out of me
I was there for two years
And it was a good me and a bad me
Like it was a bad me
Addiction to drugs
Doing coke when they blew up that fucking thing
In Oklahoma City
Like I was there
I was in there with the Brad Stavideans
I was there when fucking
In that apartment where Kurt Cobain shot himself
I was also there when it fell on Black Days
The Soundgarden Super Unknown came out
I was in that apartment
For some good and some bad things
I had a lot of pain in that apartment
Come up, I had a lot of anger issues
When my ex-wife came up
You know, that's the apartment
Where it was 95
So I was born in 63
So I was 32 fucking years old
You know what I felt like?
Paying 400 a month rent at 32 fucking years old
In a dirty fucking apartment
Like a little stingy apartment
I felt like I had no life
Like there was no life
There was no air condition in that apartment
There was nothing like that
There was no sleep at the machine
There was a bench, a couch
And a bed that took up the whole fucking room
And you expected to be further along?
No, I didn't expect
At that time I was doing comedy for years
I knew that it was going to take time
I just meant your life
At this point?
You didn't expect that to be your situation when you turned 32
No, not at all
I just wanted it to go away like a bad dream
I knew that if I could stay with comedy
Till I was about 37 or 38
That something might happen
And I was right
I didn't have no...
I had no nothing about nothing
I could be honest with you and the church family
And say there was no movies
I wasn't doing it for none of that shit
I was doing it to just be
Fucking funny
That's a big thing
That's all that was on my mind
I didn't think of headshots
I didn't think of nothing
I played it along the way
I didn't get headshots till 96 in Seattle
And what year was that?
96 in Seattle
What year of comedy?
Five years
Five fucking years
I'm in a weird position
Because I hear
I try to follow your advice
I'm not perfect
But I try to follow what you tell me
And then I hear
People at my level talking
Saying things that I've heard you say
Is the wrong thing to do
But I don't really speak up
Because
They've been doing comedy longer than me
So I don't really feel like it's my place
To speak up
What you say
I don't go to the store
I don't do a lot of the things
I try to
You're very good
You're right
It's like being poor with rich friends
And I almost
Can't tell my other poor friends
The ways to make money
I'm very lucky
Because I see the path
That I want to take
The other thing that you've shown me
Is
Comics who
Maybe got stuck
In year 8, but they're in year 15
But they didn't progress
Past a certain point
Because they were doing this or that
And it's
Even though it's very intimidating for me to think
Like you were saying at the beginning of the podcast
To be doing it 10 years
It's
I think it's like I have a map
Where I feel like a lot of other people
Don't have anything
My map has pieces missing
But at least I have something
Where some people are just starting out
With a blank piece of paper
They don't have any sort of guidance
It's uh
I
Respect you for what you're doing
And I have to forget sometimes
That you know what man
He's starting out
To do what he's supposed to be doing
You know
Which is just getting on stage and finding out who he is
I can't do that for you
I can't do that for you
That's something that
You have to do
And I love it when comics come up to me
And they go I've been doing comedy for 5 years
And I let them talk
Because that was me
I thought I was ready also
They're not ready
I know they're not ready
I'm not telling you about how you're feeling this week
And you mentioned not doing stuff
Before you're ready
Do you think you're ready for tonight?
Fuck yeah
Fuck yeah
At every level
At every there's no doubt
I've earned it
I've written it
I've worked the road
I've done everything to make sure
That when tonight came
It would be a success
So
All I could do is leave my heart up on the stage
For 30 minutes
That's basically it
That's it
Thank you brother
We'll be back fucking Wednesday
Ready to go
Listen I want to thank you people for following us
The last couple of years
Without you guys checking us
We wouldn't have gotten so far
So I want to thank the church family
I want to thank Scott Cunningham
And you've all been part of it
So let's see what happens
Let's continue this fucking journey
We'll learn something tonight
And we'll keep this fucking boat a sail
I'm happy that you guys have
Stayed on the ship
And I'm happy that you're about to see this
That this is all about hard work guys
Nothing nobody could help you
You could get a light shine on you from time to time
And then you have to fucking navigate the ship
You know it's like
I was talking about the beginning of LeBron James
The destiny man
And you know what
And he's good at it and he works hard
He spends money in himself
He's always had the same work ethic
Even when he didn't have the $1.5 million
Or he wouldn't be where he'd be today
Even when he didn't have the $1.5 million
He took care of himself
In other ways that we didn't
That's something I didn't do for years
That's something to learn from
No matter what occupation you choose
You have to take care of yourself
I didn't take care of myself
And this is why today I'm so
Fucking on it
From drinking compucha juice
To fucking getting sun
To sleeping
To drinking tons of water
To eating fish, to eating a little bit of meat
To eating vegetables, to eating fruit
At all
Fucking goes into the same fucking hole
But you just knowing that
You're putting the work in
Always helps you along the line
So, yeah, I'm ready
I'm fucking ready
We'll see you guys Wednesday night
Don't forget the 16th of June
I'm at Calusa Casino, that's it

Music
Feeling like we're ready to kick tonight
Oh, hesitation might as well get
Looking for the mentions that are starting to ride
Charging, pain-paste
It's not the best on hundreds, let it prove
Make it sound, love I have got
Ready to help the room
You better buy a shower before long time
Or kill your way like dynamite
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Shake it down
Rockin' boys
Crack down the wind-struck meal
Pulse-ray
Airways
Battle livin' now and waitin' for dinner
Feelin' your hearts
All across the land
Hot blood, doin' good
We're gonna load it without rain
You better buy a shower before long time
Or kill your way like dynamite
Deliverin' the guts
Shake it down
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Don't know the punches we aim
But the crunch is loud
Two more steps, two more honey
You can look, it's already held enough
And all that yell, we're gonna kill it again and again
We're patient to the submission
Smoking my heart is worth a surrender
You've got to learn to listen
Cause there ain't nobody here in the world
I'll touch you
Till I've seen enough gold in my hands
I'll shoot it off, for the love
Give it more than ever before, I'm gonna take it
Move in with your hands
Fresh down the floor
Begin with the mercy
You can look, it's already held enough
You better buy a shower before long time
Or kill your way like dynamite
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
Deliverin' the guts
