Wednesday
July 26th
2018
It's an anniversary or something. I did something. I mugged somebody on this date some happy
I just can't remember this date always rings the bell. Here you go
In
What's happening now you bad motherfuckers?
Oh shit
Oh
Are you fucking nuts or what you know, he's saying he wants to fuck his fucking buddy's girlfriend. Hey, I gotta think about this
This is fucking tremendous little Hector Levoe on a Wednesday morning. Are you fucking kidding me or what?
I got my man, Eric Rota wrote you whatever the fuck you want to follow
And I got the Christ killer the original
Oh shit
That means I want you to call me poppy that's like telling you
I love it when you call me big pop only in Puerto Rican. You know I'm saying we got Eric Roach in the house
You got my main man Lisa. Yeah, you're asking me Joey. Who the fuck is Eric Roach?
We're gonna find that right now. I'm gonna tell you a reason why I have him on the podcast
What's happening Lee you're good. You're great. Yeah, beautiful. It's been a great week so far
Eric, what's happened brother? Not much man. I'm happy to be here. Thank you so much. This is fucking awesome
You we're gonna tell the story slowly
We're gonna get into this I want to introduce you to the world that I saw you singing for the choir and
Fucking savage. I'm like this kid's a fucking savage. Nobody's seen this fucking kid
And when I did my Netflix thing up at the store, I had you come up that Sunday night
you leveled them with Lee and
There's a lot of topics, you know, I
Fucking I'm old Eric
I'm getting old and I have a lot of my mind
I forget things and I digest things a lot differently than most people when Lee says something to me I
I'll come back with a rebuttal to him to explain it and he'll go like what the fuck are you talking about?
That thing you said that night. I totally agree with you. I'm the one that fucked up
I'm one of those people that always will come to you and you'll go what the fuck that was two weeks ago
Why'd you ask me about that now because I processed it at four in the morning one night a dream
And I woke up. He said why would fucking Eric say something like this melon? How long have you been doing comedy for five years five?
Yeah, in April was where'd you start I?
Did let me see in New York. I worked for Carolines literally like two days
And then I couldn't fucking do it. It was I still have a check for 60 bucks that I never fucking picked up
Never were you a doorman? I was answering the phones
Yep, that was how I got to meet Mooney
That was how I
Was answering phones and that guy's his ticket sales would fucking it was impossible to keep up with
So you would just answer the phone you'd be like thank you for calling Carolines
And then you please hold and what would happen was if he you had to screen the calls
So you would get a shit ton of people calling for Paul Mooney
But then every once in a while that guy's wife would fucking sneak through and you had to catch it or else you put it through
And you were fucked. Oh, well, that's catch back to now where you originally from where'd you grow up, Colorado?
We're part of Colorado. It's northeast the plains area like fucking farm town. Remember Greeley Greeley
It's like an hour from that so an hour north or Greeley. Yeah, that's fucking crazy Greeley smells so bad get closer to the mic
Get closer to the mic like it's Tuesday night. You know, yeah
Yeah, Greeley really was my second comedy gig
Really second comedy gig at the longest running
one nighter in history one of the top
Five what longest lasting one night is in history like because I heard it was still running up to a couple years ago
And it was there ten years before I started Jesus that's 30 some years
It was a one nighter booked by a guy named Bill Bauer on
Thursday nights who ran a motorcycle shop every Thursday
Every Thursday Wow, and the ceiling was real low
So if you jumped you bang your head on the ceiling the place is great
It was like they had like pictures of like singers behind you the ugliest artist like the worst artist in the world was a picture of Jimmy Hendricks
There was a picture of Janice Joplin and there was a picture of Bob Marley behind you needed comedy
How are the audiences there fucking great? It's a college town on top of that. It's where the Broncos
Practice that do spring training or whatever the fuck we used to go every year
My mom was a huge fucking Broncos fat. My uncles hated him, but mom loved him. We go every summer
So now you're in Greeley, Colorado. Let's assume. How old were you till you stayed in, Colorado?
I moved to New York when I was 18. What made you want to move to New York?
Now you graduated in high school. So how many on the radar at 18? No to be honest
I got into a conservatory in New York because I wanted to do theater. Okay. I was a theater nerd
so I went there and I
Loved it. I loved the theater and just living in New York for I lived there for like four years and just pounding the pavement
auditions and shit like that
But then comedy was always something in my life like I was raised by my grandpa and I found his Richard prior tapes
And when I found those it was it was like something forbidden. I fucking loved it
That was that was the introduction and was tapes album CDs. It was here and now
I remember that one. It was here now, and it was a greatest hits like an a-track. Yeah, yeah
It was fucking and I remember like you'd have to sneak to listen to it. Yeah
That and like Eddie Murphy is delirious. Do you remember the language the first time you heard that language?
How your Ed felt
The first time you heard not from your parents because you heard it from your parents
But not used the way a stand-up especially Richard prior twisted around have you watched that?
Comedy on CNN that that series that no I started but I didn't get finished the other night
They had just about dirty comedy as I was walking in the door and it was brilliant
It was Red Fox doing all his albums. That's why I want to go back to albums
Because that's my I grew up on albums, you know saying yeah
Look at this and the hand comes out over here because it's like cousin it
Then I take the lights off I blasted this way just little side angles
To make it go
I think you can hold it for an hour. What happened holding it. No, I was thinking about it
I was thinking about it. But what the fuck is we're all here. We're all generally a week colonel. So, all right, so
You listen who else did you listen to as a young I listen every I listen to Red Fox?
Everybody he had I would listen to so you got to wash your ass that one. Oh my fucking
God, I Eddie Murphy delirious was another one because I didn't even listen much James Brown
But when I heard him do James Brown it
It was the fact that a grown man could do that with his voice and I was like, how the fuck is he making that sound that?
Know that that's a lyric. That's James Brown need a lyric. I said I move. That's good that and like the barbecue
like just the pictures that that guy could fucking paint and
So it worked backwards though cuz like I said my dad was a piece of shit
so it was my grandpa that raised me and
He let me just listen to whatever the fuck I wanted and I was like
I want I want to listen to that and it was Richard Pryor
So I'd put it it was actually a cassette tape. That's what I remember
One of them was greatest hits because it was an eight track the other one was here
And now I think that was the cassette tape and he'd do mud bone mud bone and that that was when
like we were talking about one time outside outside fourth wall because you were talking to Lee about
Don't go don't go down there fucking with them Jews. I don't know money. Oh my god
That's the funniest that's and I remember that because in a weird way that that brought me back to when I was a kid
And I was like there was only one person who was like in their thirties when I was a kid
And I heard them say that don't go down there fuck with them Jews without no money
And I knew right then I was like, oh fuck like to me that that was just how you judge people that you liked on
On on what they knew what how much prior shit? Do they know do they know like the you know
Everybody knows one nigga that drinks always gets fucked up. He always wants to fight. You remember that one, right?
Oh, he never wins a fight, but he always wants to fight and
Just the way that he would do that was
Just a picture was fucking there and I was just this little kid and that was that alone was hilarious
Now you're listening to all this how did you end up with either geek?
Honestly, I don't I don't know I I realized that you could
What the fuck was this movie I saw like American Beauty, I think it was and
I remember because it was a pretty conservative town and
The way that he looked at that cheerleader because he wanted to fuck her really bad. I remember thinking like that shit's true
Like I see my friends their parents doing that shit and so
When I saw that on a movie
Everybody in our town hated that fucking movie and I was like, oh, it's so true though
So for some reason I was like, okay
I like what what good movies can do good movies can kind of bring to light a truth
Just like when I saw good fellas and like, you know the fucking
He starts laughing and then he just stops laughing and everybody just kind of cowers
I was like fuck that shit actually happens in in scary rooms like that
So I don't know it was it was something like that that I loved was just the ability to
To ask questions like that and to just kind of poke truth. So I guess that's why I like comedy, too was you know
when I was probably middle school I found out about George Carlin and
It was specifically the
He were all diseased and it was that night when he I remember seeing the HBO thing and he said
If there is a God if there is
May he strike this audience dead and I remember my grandma was like fucking livid and
I couldn't believe he'd fucking said that and that was when I learned that stand-up could be fucking dangerous like that
Because it was like this guy is talking about shit that he should not be talking about
So I grew up Catholic. So I went to church that that next day
We were in catechism and I started asking question like how do we know there's a God?
Yeah, and and people were like what what the fuck are you talking about and I was like well
I mean think about they they've got us believing this and we don't know
We really don't and you mean like and I was a fucking kid
I didn't know what the fuck I was taught all I knew was hearing him and
all of the points that he was making and
I think it's been that way ever since like just
comics that
That can be funny and that talk about shit that makes you think a little bit differently
And I mean we we talk about that like that's the goal
But to actually do it and be in the room with somebody when they're doing that shit was it was just amazing
It was like wow I
Want to do this and where's the closest comedy club because I went early. I went in like
High school. I think it's a comedy club really see I didn't go till college
Now where'd you go to college? It was the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and that was in New York
What was the first comedy club you went to it was Caroline's on Broadway?
Okay, who was on stage it was Paul Mooney
It was it was to go watch you. Oh, so you you knew how did you discover Paul Mooney?
Chappelle
Chappelle show when he did the
Mooney on movies and
They would do the synapses about what the movie was about and then the camera would just pan on him and he
He just shaped like that's that fucking grin that he had and nope that was a movie that offended me
And then he would talk about you know, what was it?
Brad Pitt. He's the last or no Tom Cruise. He's the last samurai and then he did last samurai
Okay, the Mexican with Brad Pitt and then he goes. I've got one. How about the last nigger on earth starring Tom Hanks?
How about that?
It was just the the cockiness and you felt like you were in the room with that guy and
Negro Damos and and all of that shit
And so I was like I my mom went out to visit me
I was like we should see this guy because he used to write for prior. How did you look him up?
It was just New York like I knew I knew Caroline's on Broadway because I was a huge fan of
David Tallin and like the New York Circuit like that and that was kind of how I started
getting into comedy was just listening to comedy albums and
Yeah, I my mom was in town and she was like what do you want to do and I was like
We should go to a comedy club and he happened to be there. He was the last he was last night. Yep
Yeah, exactly midnight show. So I was like, well if we can stay up
Why don't we go see this because this guy used to write for Richard Pryor. He was on Chappelle show
He's he's really funny on the show. Let's go watch him and
It it was otherworldly like I don't think
I'll ever be that fucking good like walking out of there. I was like
How the fuck does somebody do that? I just I couldn't believe because he just sat in the chair
He sat in the chair and he had the microphone and he just he just sat there and he looked at everybody and it was so
Personal yeah, it felt like we were just in his house or on his porch
Just and he was talking about people it it it changed me
It was like this guy's making a see everything and it's so different like being in the room with with Mooney was
Nothing like
Like what you saw on TV because even when we walked out my like I was with my fucking mother and my mother looked at me
And she's like I've never seen anything like that
Never, you know cuz she she grew up on the planes and and we're you know, that's what so when she saw Paul Mooney and
Then later on she actually got to meet him because I was like we would ask if we could stay and watch his show
We you know when you were answering phones and he would be oh, yeah, brother
What have you got to do and he just fucking walked down and we'd sit in the back and we just watch him and
To watch him work was like so how many times did you watch my carolites? Um, I
Total it was four and what did you think?
Now had you had you been on stage yet? No, no, no thinking about it. Oh, yeah
Watching him salivate and watching him
Watch him do it. It it looked so fucking easy
You're like look at how relaxed he is look at how personable he is like yeah, it's it's so easy
and then you fucking do it and you're like
Like and not just like an hour, but he would do like an hour and 20 an hour and 30 you never knew when he was done
Like I don't think he knew when he was done
He just he would just get up and he'd fucking walk. There was no clothes. No, there was it was just like I gotta get out
Yeah, yeah, it was just like that. Yeah, because it's starting to bore me. He'd pick up his bag
Yeah, I gotta go good night. That would be one black person in the audience
He goes you niggas is starting to bore me and he would just walk off the fucking stage
With his little bottle of champagne. He would get the major bottle of champagne
Yep, he wouldn't go on stage unless he had a major bottle of champagne now
Well, how long did it take you to get on stage after you saw Paul Moody when I came to LA
So now you're in New York. How long I was in New York for four years and you didn't get on stage at all
I got on like once or twice. It was nothing that I could actually say. Oh, look, I'm doing stand-up
It was I got to try this when I did it. Where'd you go? I mean it was somewhere in Queens
I lived on Dipmars and Steinway and there was some Chinese bistro that had a fucking open mic and literally you just stood like on a box
And it was like, okay, and they were like they point at you like do go
And you'd fucking do it and did people were eating and they were annoyed that you were fucking in there and the mic
You know the mic you could barely hear it so you'd speak into it and they turned up and to be too loud
It was fucking it was miserable any dream I had of doing stand-up in New York
I was like, this is fucking awful. I will never do this shit ever. I went back to New York
I was like, I don't know about this. It took me nine months. That was a beating. That was an emotion
So you there four years you pick up you come here now what?
then a buddy was doing a farewell show and
He was moving to Boston and he's like, hey, I know you've done stand-up before
He's like, do you want to get on stage? I'll give you three minutes
And it was a I think it was a flappers
So I was like, huh, let me think about it. He's like, well think about it. So I
don't remember when the fuck that was but I
Went up and I did I end up doing five and it went really fucking well
what really happened was I
Was I was waiting to go up. I was nervous and Whitney Cummings had walked in and she's like hey
I was wondering if I could do a drop-in and they were like, okay, when when do you want to go?
I'll go this I'll go here and it happened to be I had to follow her and I was pissed
And I was like guys. I I can't fucking do this like it and they're like dude. Just don't don't worry about it
We'll put one guy in front of you and I was like, I alright fine. Fuck it
So she goes on and she fucking crushed she crushed guy went on he crushed and then they threw me on
And I don't know what what compelled me to do it, but I just looked at everybody. I was like, well
I'm fucking sorry. I go what what do you want from me?
And I go I'm gonna fag it up here trying to make you guys laugh. What do you want?
And I looked at one guy's like you're kind of cute and that that changed it like that for some reason that won the room over and I
Started ragging on Whitney Cummings because I was like why the fuck did she have to pick tonight?
I was like, she's brilliant. Why did she pick tonight though?
And I was like fuck her and I did that and everybody started laughing and
I it was funny cuz like I saw her and I was like, oh my god. I fucking love you
I she's like no, it's comedy. Don't worry about I thought it was funny. It got the crowd and
That that was what was amazing was it was like, okay?
so I
Did well well enough to come back and then it was just fucking bomb after bomb after bomb it was
It was Vegas. Yeah after you win the three thousand and come back and it's like yeah, I went three thousand and you give him
92,000 that's Las Vegas. That's comedy
Do you know why you're sitting in this room for this tonight? I
Don't I don't want a few people that really really really
Makes me laugh anymore. I started going to the fourth wall to support my friend Lee
And I saw you one night on stage. I didn't bring you here. I did not say anything about gay or anything
You might respect for you as a comic
But since we're talking about it, we'll open up that door and because you also raised in Colorado, which I was in Colorado in 83
And it wasn't cool to be talking about Adam and Steve
You know say I'm like you couldn't just talk about Adam and Steve in Colorado. I know about it
You know saying I'm a I know it's cracking in the gay community, but
You know you can't just say that in 1983 in a cowboy ball
Although those cowboys are the biggest fucking they'd love to get their dick sucked
I'm gonna get three beers and they'll let anybody suck their dick and then they'll call you a bean in the next day
You fucking meaner. Yeah, and then you'll say you didn't call me a bean and when I was swallowing your jizz last night
He's lying. I was drinking 3.2 beer. I got fucked up. I didn't know I didn't even know he was a bean
I'm writing over my mistake that they're fucking crazy. Tell me I'm lying. Tell me I'm lying
I've been all over Colorado
I'll go visit and I'll turn on my grinder and I'm like Jesus Christ like they're all over the fucking place
But they never have a face picture. No, no Craig Colorado all those all those those
There's men in those towns that dying to get fucked and they have you know what they have to do
They have to do a crime and they go to jail in Canyon City. They just go over to Lou
They go right over in Canyon City to the gay wing and now they have an excuse. Well, I belong to him
No, you always belong to somebody. You didn't know it yet. You just didn't fucking know it
Colorado if you want to be gay, you gotta go to prison. That's when they bust you out finally
Once you come out you come out you go in fucking leave you come out Ellen, you know I'm saying with a talk show
It's fucking why I lived in Colorado when it was raw
But don't they like it's not gonna be just gay people having like fun sex and prison if you're in
Isn't it gonna be like the kind that you don't really want like the guy? Oh, you want that's a better kind
Well, that's what you want. You want dirty dicks, and you know, is that what you want?
No, there's two types of gay people. There's three types of gay people like there's three types of gay guys
We did some guys that love hookers and know you to hook his asshole
And then I'll give a fuck if she fucked 20 guys in the ass and crack. There's people to share their wives
There's different strokes for different folks Lee. That's what makes the world unique. That's so progressive doing. No
What are you gonna do at 53 at 55?
What are you gonna do when I was 18 and somebody asked me if I wanted around the world the first time like a hook at home
Like a guy told me know you go and get in around the world. I was petrified
You know the way Lee gets about edibles like when I call him up in time
We're gonna do heroin same thing
When you when somebody would talk to me about I'm doing it around the world like are you fucking crazy?
What does that mean? You know lick my ass lick my balls and try to make out with me
That's not gonna happen
Even if I take 20 showers, you know why because if you've done it with me you've done it with 20 animals
You know I'm saying you've done it with 20 animals. So I need like blow job
What was that about when I was younger dog the Catholicism? I was just about to tell
Eric this that guys, let's be honest from the fucking zero grade to fifth grade. I drank the juice. I
Was all in I would not I was not gonna let a priest molest me, but I drank the juice
Let's be honest. I believed in Jesus. I believed in this Holy Spirit. I believed yeah
I went to my buddy and going into the fifth grade a
Lot of shit started happening which Bruce Lee died
Once Bruce Lee died the the form of immigrants left
So now we were free again. We didn't have a leader again
In 68 when Bruce Lee came out. Oh, everybody had a voice that didn't have a voice anymore
The word bully wasn't used, but it was the same thing. There was no more bullies for immigrants
Some men now we had something we had this bow the other night was Bruce Lee's 45th anniversary Friday night
That night I it was Lee's birthday and I felt really bad, but I got home that night and they were playing the crow on
TV at like 730 and then it messed me up so much
Like they remembered that I put on fist of fury
I put on Chinese connection it to me. It's Chinese connection and
Can you can you find the dojo scene in Chinese connection?

Right here you lose in your mind and I used to watch these at the midnight movie
Seven
Were you and your buddies fighting each other in the aisles we would be
Druling our core fucking Sibelio Pino right now and let them tell you how crazy we used to go watch these
Me him retarded Mike. We had a kid Mike. He had to be 24, but he thought he was like 11
We didn't give a fuck. We let him hang with us. He let him punches in the stomach and shit like that
I
Made me use like our uncle. He's our uncle. He's all right. That's it
That's how you got into our rated movies. Yeah
Watch all this shit. This is they can't do this anymore
I
I
Love when people say all this negative shit about Bruce Lee because they didn't really know
What's this though, this is the goods ready it when he lives the guy up and just bitch slaps
That's the way to do this was this was the mentality I had as a kid that was it
This was it
There was no peanut allergies. There was no fucking kids with sensitive ears
That's what he stands for that's what he stands for killing people he's dead
He stood for this movies about him getting tormented
In the beginning they kill his teacher and then they fucking abuse them they got they she goes to a fucking school
Yeah, to make a stand this movie was supposed to be something that happened like in 1940
In Japan how to Japanese treated to Chinese? There's one scene when he goes to the zoo
And it says you know, no dogs are Chinese a lot on the war and he kicks the fuck out of some Japanese people
But I said before this conversation before this conversation. I was a Catholic like you
And when I got thrown out of Catholic school, I went to public school and I started listening to Richard prior and
One day we had to go to Catechism
On Fridays when I first got to McKinley in the sixth grade on Fridays, you had two options
You got off at one you need to belong to the ecology club and go pick up garbage on the street
Which I was not doing or you go to Catechism and walked there by yourself
Which meant you get high we get a six pack of beer we can stop at the fucking season row buck the shoplift look great
Is this this is sixth grade? Oh, good. Yeah
No, it was all the kids from North Bergen that would be allowed to so other kids from other districts like Franklin
And then Kennedy school they would take buses public transportation
So they would get that lucid one those animals and I don't remember the priest's name and we would go to holy
Something and again, it's next to a theater with George Carlin played
Across the four-star diner, which we were talking about the other day and it was right there
That's the name of the the name of the feed is the park place
But in there, there's like a Catholic something and we would have to go in there for Catholic Catholic
Catechism and one day some New Jersey guy at raised his hand and he's like father. Can I ask you something?
How do I know what you're telling me bullshit?
And we started laughing he grew a sad he goes get the fuck out. We're like fuck you too
And we're like fuck you fuck you too, Padre. He's like saying fuck you. That's why fuck you the rest of the kids
like fuck you Padre like 11 of us got up and left we all went to the four-star diner and
I
Don't that's why I made my confirmation when I was 30 years old st. Michael Center
St. Michael's is in Union City on 16th Street. I used to go there too. I played CYO basketball for them, but
You know, I was raised
well, you're right here with all these
Catholicism
Things that things that you're not supposed to say and do and rules and shit like this now
We have a second part to add to this conversation
Which is your situation which is you are?
Okay, so now you're living in Colorado. You're 15 years old. Did you already have desires for men?
At that point yeah, cuz you
You start to realize shit's different and it's like, okay, you know, you have guys that are
Dayton chicks, they're fucking feeling girls up and all that other shit and I mean I I tried but it was like, ah, I
Don't know. There's something fucking different that I was like
Yeah, I don't know and then you watch home improvement. You're like
Oh fucking Jonathan Taylor Thomas. That's uh
that's an interesting working guy right over there and
Immediately, you're like, oh shit. I'm fucked up
Something's broken
and it's it's it's weird shit. You're like, okay fuck cuz I
Was I loved being Catholic. I loved it. It made sense
I remember you sit next to my grandpa at church
We would eat I remember he would he would take the host and he would save just a little bit
And he would sneak me some because I always wondered what that what that cracker tasted like and he was like, yeah here here and
the thing of it was was it was a
We used to go on Saturday nights and then we'd go eat and that was like a big thing for him
He had like an altar of all these fucking candles and it was just something that you know, if somebody died
You know you you went and you prayed for them and you did all of that. So when
When that happens, you're like, oh shit. What what the fuck's going on?
I have candles at the house. Absolutely. I like the candle for you. I like the candle for you
Yeah, and so you you you don't mind me asking what happened to your parents
My mom the the crazy thing is I mean you're tight with your mom obviously you were raised by grandpa
So he wasn't paying bills like he I don't know the exact story. They were together and shit like that and
What I remember because I asked my mom like so what what do you what is going on with this guy and to be fair
His family like his mom and his dad were fucking great to me
They they wanted to be a part of it
But what ended up happening was he was saying like shit like oh, yeah
I got to go into work and what he would do is he was smooth
He would go to the park and he'd get high with his friend
And my mom would have to go to work
But the thing if it was was she'd come home and she'd find like final notice of shit like why fucking I gave you money to
Pay this why isn't this paid?
And I don't know and she kindly she finally like followed him one day and she found out what he was doing
She followed him for a while and she'll talk about it to this day
About when she got the courage to leave him and what that process was like cuz she's like every day
I would move something. She's like I like if I had like the hamper full of clothes
I'd move it to mom and dad's she's like and then I just come in and be regular
She's like I still remember you in your little fucking read your little cradle that she would carry me around it
And she's like so every day I'd move just a little bit of shit and she's like and then one day I called my brothers
We got all this shit and we left is where I don't talk about this shit a lot like to anybody so this if I've seen nervous
That's the reason why no, no, no, no fucking you talk about your mother, but you're also speaking about your grandfather
So yeah, I'm just a little no really confused. Yeah. Yeah, so your mother did time
Couple years I left you a grandpa and she came on you guys were kind of you know, I'm not I'm not here to judge
No, no, no, no, I was drawing a picture in my head different. It's just I'd never really talked to your grandpa
Was your dad? Yeah, absolutely. Love him. Is he still with us? No, he he passed away in
97 and then my uncle Barry took he took over and that guy fucking died like two years ago
I think it is now a year and a half ago
so
Wanting a dad and wanting like a father figure like
you know, I not to
Blow smoke up your ass, but like honestly like when when you start coming around on the fourth wall
It was like, okay, but you would you would say something and I would think about it and it percolate in my head
I'd be like fuck, you know what? Yeah, I should try this
I should I should try this and I'd try it and
It would work
And I'd be like fuck. How did you know that? How do you know that? So I'd ask you a question again
I didn't want to fucking bother you, but I'd ask you a question again, and then I get the fuck out of there
I don't know if you remembered that I would talk to you a little bit and I get the fuck out
Well, that's one thing I have I
Don't I'm not book smart. I don't know about sleep or
Voting or cells or anything like that. I do know about the human mind. I know about human compassion
And all about hustle and all about pain
And I was going through a rough time guys. I was going through a really rough time
Stand up wise stand up wise
I was at a you know Bobby Lee two days ago last night
So I can't leave town because I was at a precipice. That's something might happen. Let me tell you something, bro
Six months ago last January last December November. I was at a precipice
Of maybe having a nervous breakdown. I
Don't know what a nervous breakdown consists of
You know, we had a podcast here about depression and Lee started seeing somebody in a hurry and I didn't feel those things I
Just felt something was lacking. Now. Here's a guy
That I'm not gonna smoke up my ass on my headliner, you know, I've earned everything I've gotten. Yes
I've done movies. I've done this and something just didn't taste right
I didn't know who to take it to and as you guys know at home
I'm too fucking much of a prick to go to a psychotherapist or psychiatrists
Because I believe that we should work things out on our own. That's what makes us stronger
I think that a piece of paper and a pen and a lot of thought and some reefer or whatever gets you to that place to identify
Your situation is
So one night instead of going to the economy store and hanging out with Tom Pop and Joe Rogan and all these people I
Said I want to do something. I want to go back and start all over again. I
Want to do a science experiment because I am a walking science experiment
Since I got off cocaine 10 years ago. That's all I've been doing this experimenting. I don't know how I got to here
So I have to figure out the formula to how the fuck did I get here?
So I tagged along with Lee and I went to the fourth wall and it was the best thing I ever did in my life
Because I got to see
you guys
You guys want what I got and guess what? I want what you guys got
That's that's my quote. What did you see at fourth wall?
I mean because it looks like you didn't know what you were looking for because when you would come in there
It was honestly, it was fascinating to watch you watch us because you were looking for something and
When you would you would look because to watch you I was looking for the fundamentals of comedy
If there is some I
Was looking for the fundamentals of comedy. I wanted to come home and get a pen and go leave
This is what comedy is. Can I have that pen from you and go leave this what comedy is?
It's chapter 1 this chapter 2 this chapter 3 this chapter 4. I wish I could do that. I can't do that. I
Wanted to do it not for you guys
I want to do it for myself and then pass it on to you guys the knowledge I had gotten but I couldn't figure it out
But they're but something else happened
Fat fucking chubby cute Mexican guy went on stage and it made me fucking laugh
my ass off
About being gay now. I'm 55 and if you watch any of my CDs any of my special any of my routines
I always have a joke about a gay person in there because they seem so funny to me
And they were so involved in my life
I mean, I tell a story about my thing in Maricombe, you know, that was in my life
And he wasn't the first one the first real gay man in my life was a santeria gay, dude
And he used to always say shit to me like when they're gonna fuck you in the ass
And he would tell me like in front of my mother and I go you fuck me in ass. I'm gonna fuck you up motherfucker
Right like I would fuck you up in front of my god
Like my real name is Antonio and my mom would put like white shoes on me and he would go
Me those are sabbaticals to Jose Antonio. I'd say hey motherfucker. I'll fuck you up
You know, like I was fucking angry my father died and this guy would say shit to me to get my blood going like you know in front of everybody
He would go to me this was sure to get it in Jose Antonio
Yeah, lindo and I said don't be fucking look at me a little fucking faggot. I'll fucking kick your fucking ass
So one night he tickled me and I'm like don't fucking tickle me you fuck
Don't fucking tickle me. Don't touch me and shit and I said to him. I hope you fucking die you fucking faggot
And the next day he died
Yeah, and they fucking though the santeria people took me to a house
And they were like you better never ever
Ever they started throwing coconuts, you know when you do santeria you got four coconuts
And that's how they asked permission and they were like you better never ever ever wish that found somebody again
They blamed you as a six-year-old not even by mistake not even to say that's why that's why I was a Spanish person one day
Said you know your number 13 under under understand hope death pool. I fucking when this is easy to go on Facebook
I wrote him a Spanish I go Spanish people don't talk that way
He's like I forgot you're right
You know, we don't we don't fucking go on death list or nothing. That's against our fucking we don't think about death
Spanish white people love talking about insurance policies and I'm leaving my piano to my kid
Spanish people don't do nothing. They don't sign the will to every like in the coma
You gotta hold that coma hand and that's when they'll sign the will come on sign it come on
So we don't have to suffer, you know saying Spanish people
Don't be dying and they'll fucking most signed. Oh my god, Jews
I've known for like 15 years where everything is my mom and dad show me. Oh, yeah, they call me when they move it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude fucking forest lawn. They they have plans. Yeah a lot of Jewish people in forest lawn
They have like they've owned that they've owned their burial plots for like 50 years. I bet they own it
That's bad luck for Spanish people. We don't know that fuck. No come on. I'll lose some money
Put me in the yard like my uncle they put him in the yard. He's back there for years
15,000 to bury somebody put him in the fucking yard
Can you imagine I just take somebody home put some powder on it
Please don't tell me there's buried bodies buried in yards in New Jersey. I'm gonna say that
I ain't gonna say nothing. I don't want to fucking nobody knows that nobody knows nothing here
Just talk. I'm just talking here from the fucking on
But okay, so I go to the fourth wall and I'm looking for the answer to my problems. I
I'm looking number two. I'm going through something. I'm not feeling well every night about five o'clock. I
Started feeling fucking shitty something wasn't right. I started taking blood tests and piss tests
And there was something in my stomach and I didn't know what the fuck it was. I started drinking computia
So I just had a lot of shit going through my head and Netflix was starting to put the process together
So I wanted to go back to basics. So I started going to the fourth wall to watch hoping Micers in
Their most primitive form. I like the fourth wall because it made you sit there and watch
Other comics that's what that's what really lured me to that
But if you signed up for family, you got to sit in here for the whole fucking hour
And watch everybody and it forced me I love watching comedy
But I also want to laugh
Soon as I sit down, I want to laugh. I don't want to rehearse shit. I
Don't want shit that you practice in the mirror and I want you to react to the room
Whatever happens, that's what I'm looking to see my favorite thing in the world is getting high
And if I have a 1015 spotted the store go at 915 and sit in the back of the room and watch those comics and learn
So I went to the fourth wall to learn
But the biggest lesson I'd learned two things in the fourth wall
I learned that what it was to feel like you guys I made myself feel like you guys
Yeah, and it backfired it fucked my head up
Because I don't need to feel like that again
but I also got to see you and
I've been thinking a lot about you lately because
The problem my Netflix special was that I wasn't me and
I watched you on stage and right now you're a breath of fresh air to me fuck because you
Do comedy
There's only two gay dudes that I've seen and I've seen a lot of gay guys do comedy
I hate talking about Spanish comedy and black comedy and Jewish comedy. I hate that shit
But in the gay world if you're a gay man
There's only two guys that I've seen go up there with balls of steel as a gay man
And that's you and this guy Ian from Santa Barbara
Who had opened for me in New York?
Which is a trip because the first night of Gotham. It was Gotham now Gotham is a place where there's fights people get it
Yeah, last time over Dean Delray a lady picked up a table and threw it this poor little gay in
Guy lives in he's helping book the room in Orange County now
So if you guys want to do it, let me know maybe we'll all three of us to do it together and
He's booking this room down Orange County
And I used him and he would move to New York. He wanted to give I saw him in Santa Barbara
I worked in Santa Barbara
And I could see he made
When you're gay and you're white and you make people uncomfortable you're my guy
You're my guy. That's what I want to see. I want to see a guy go move
That means mentally his is mental his
You made him so uncomfortable that his brain told him to move his asshole
So you can't get to it
So if he's sitting this way with his girlfriend like rubbing her hand, he'll fucking slow
He'll lock and load that ass
Because that's what I want to see that's real comedy if you're a gay man
If you're gonna go up there and talk that Beverly Hills shit to impress them and this guy's amazing
And try to be captain Griffin and drag. I ain't taking a fucking ride with you
I want you to tell me about your fucking fears
Tell me what's going on in your world and that's the first time I saw you
You know you did a bit about going to gay bar and
Some guy sucked a dick in a tent
And there was a fist fight and I'm fucking in the back howling
And then the second one you told is one of the best written jokes
If I had a sit here and write the ten best written jokes that have made me laugh
You know jokes that have sincerely made me laugh. Hi, my name is Charlie Hill
Used to be mountain, but I'm shortened it
You know Charlie Hill is the Indian, you know from the store the first time I heard him say my name is Charlie Hill
I shortened it from mountain dog. I almost fell off my chair
Okay, as dumb as that fucking joke is bro. I heard Rodney danger feel somebody posted a Rodney joke yesterday on
Facebook and he goes I get no respect
I even wanted a diet and back five. I went on the rice diet. I didn't lose any weight
But every half hour I had an iron shirt. I fucking lost it though. I fucking lost it. I
Love all great jokes, but a great bit a great bit
Rogan's
One of the greatest bits of all time is Rogan when the chick from Texas
And a Nicole Smith Nicole Smith. That's one of the greatest bits of all time
Bro, I was such a great and brilliant bit that Mitzi
Sure told to stop doing it in the main room because people couldn't follow it
Like that. It was how brilliant of a bit and the Cole Smith was
Once he married the old guy that everybody's like father and he went and got himself a Kentucky fried hooker
Oh my god till this day
I still laugh at those fucking jokes and the joke about him like, you know, why do you want to go to the strip club?
Well
Because somebody told me that you could see a woman's pussy for a dollar
And every time I'm driving open the store
I'm like, maybe I should go to a strip club tonight. It's 10 o'clock. I'm like, why would I go to a strip club for it?
Also, I'm like Joey because you can see a woman's pussy for a dollar
Don't blame me I could see a pussy for Tony Nichols. I fucking died. He says that type of shit. I love jokes, you know
Fucking Richard Pryor
The nigger meets Dracula
Are you fucking crazy like who's smoking popcorn? We got to think of a bit here. I saw this motherfucker again
I he looked like Dracula. That's right a joke about
Fuck what imagination gets that like what
But your bit on the taking the Arab home
No
Is one of the funniest things because the twist at the end like I told you beginning of the show
And I have no reason to blow smoke up your ass the twist at the end, which I will not reveal
Is one of the most brilliant things and if you write that joke out and somebody's looking for a writing sample
You just go like this with that joke
They'll ask you
Are you guy?
This is about me bitch
This is something that happened to me and then you go. Oh, you want another one?
Let me tell you about the man. I saw a guy blow the guy in the tent. Are you another one about the guy?
I fucked the guy with the ball in his mouth when you said that one that night
I was losing myself because people will not say that shit look at half the people at the fourth wall
What bothered me the most? Let me give some hold on one second. Let me give some shout-outs before we go into this
Real quick my group my new sweetheart on Facebook the hottest chick on Facebook
Leticia Katon. I love you. You do Jewish Puerto Rican fucking savage. She's Jewish Puerto Rican
Yeah, she's fucking savage John Joyce my man Dennis Rice
Cash Donovan
Quentin Page Matthew Schneider John Rizzy
Stuart Fleming
Robert Reed Jake Caparoon and my man Rip Ripley you bad motherfucker
Don't forget me and Kato being Salt Lake City walking around Thursday Friday Saturday
But I'll be at the Kansas City Improv fucking August 9th through the 11th
And I'll see you motherfuckers done with Dean Del Rizzy filthy fucking animals and don't forget
I'll be in Huntsville, Alabama Nashville, Zany's at the end of the month in August
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it right now. Let's worry about Salt Lake City. You bad motherfuckers
Anyway, so now
You're 15
You
Don't see yourself in Colorado is no it it
I don't even and the thing of it was is that I played football like I came from a wrestling family
They love like my cousin the uncle that raised me
He's he's the head wrestling coach and he took state and everything and we're like brothers
We look we look a lot alike. He's got a wife
He's got three beautiful kids and we look just like each other and the funny thing is is when I go down there
I'll have grinder on and they're like, oh shit. Is that coach on fucking?
And like I always got a tell him like hey just so you know, this is who I am
Because they love an anonymity in fucking Colorado because they can't be gay
So what cracks me up about it is is I always got to tell him. Hey, I'm not I'm not your fucking coach
So don't don't
Did you have encounters in Colorado before you went to New York or were your first encounters in New York?
Because New York is a little place to be gay at yeah, if I was in the big gay, that's the cap
No, you're right. You're exactly right. That's that's why I saw it
I saw it front and center in front of me
Yep, and it was very interesting to see I saw the growth like I said in that story on Comedy Central
I still remember Martin missing a tooth some weeks
Some weeks he come over you have a black eye some weeks he got stabbed
This is when it wasn't eco-friendly to be gay
1972-73-75 it wasn't eco-friendly
People two men were not walking down the street and he would take 50 yards before somebody pulled over kicked him in the stomach
Got back in the car who they're gonna call the cops are gonna get out
He was wearing a stilto boot sealer there. Yeah, he has to
You know
Fuck these motherfuckers get confused
Because in the gay world, there's some crazy people too fuck. Yeah, crazy people too. It's the older gaze
You don't fuck with you know, I watched that I love all the FX series and then Andrew Cunanan one
Was fucking disturbing. That's the guy that killed Versace. Oh
That started like, you know, he was fucking nuts
Nuts and you know in my many years of doing drugs, you know, and when I was younger the big circle to get the elite drugs
Like yeah, you get coke from anybody, but when you want to elite cocaine
There was a gay lady a lesbian when you wanted when I bought all those kwayloons the best kwayloons
I bought was my lesbian girl a brother was a gangster real mafia and like Wikipedia and everything still not gonna tell you their name
But I used to buy kwayloons from my sister. That was simple. They were mafia kwayloons
You know, there was a time when they get the best coke you had to go to the the meat market that place
I told you wow. Yeah, the one gay bar with the three floors
Ramrods the Ramrods and that's why I saw them use the rush. I love yeah, they would use rough such aggressive names bullet Ramrod
They would have poppers
They would break poppers absolutely then make out with each other and I would sit there go what?
Fuck is going on, but I never looked down on it
You know, I never it wasn't for me to judge and that's that's a thing in Colorado
It was it was one of those things where I didn't dare come out and like I think everybody kind of knew
But it was one of those things where it's like, okay, we're not gonna talk about it. That's let's not talk about it
I'll play football. I was an all-conference football. How do your family react to it?
I
Moved in New York and met somebody and I came back and
My mom was surprised she was like, okay, and she's like I honestly didn't know
I'm like really and she's like I had questions, but I I took you at your word and
Then like cousins and stuff like that people that I was close to and told them they were like
Why didn't you ever tell us you could have told us and it was almost like they were mad
That you didn't tell them because that's it's a weird thing because you really don't know how somebody's gonna react
Because the thing about it like you talk about honesty and in comedy and shit like that
People don't like when I say faggot on stage like other other gay comics
I've had other gay comics scold me for saying that word. I
Grew up around that word. You say them when they come up to you and scold you I
Listen to him because I know it's coming from a place of pain
I I know that and they're like you you know, you could do that joke so much better and
In my no you can't that gay don't work that funny
No, you can't faggot is a word because it's a word not because it's gay
I don't use it at all and a gay kind of I have no beef at all with gay men. My god. I have no beef at all
I
Respect for gay men. That's a that's the gay salute. You know I'm saying I
Got no beef. I love this. I put my hand through this little hole and I can still blow it at Lee
He's still hold on. I like how he blames me for the flies and the bugs
Listen to me
I always blame I always take responsibility for the farts when the fly comes in here
He chases your fucking fat little fucking
Nope, I was in here with Ralph. Yeah, I've been here with eight or seven people
Lies on your neck before they've called me the next day and said why is there bees and animals on Lee's neck all the time?
Because he's a filthy fucking animal. He said fucking hummus and you don't bathe you only bathe. Oh my god
You only bathe in the morning. He's supposed to bathe twice before you come to this office late o'clock
You take a shower. I don't want that grease coming to your neck all day long
I have a greasy neck. Yes, you do when that sun shines on your fucking neck
Yeah, the three feet you walk per day it makes that I smell it sometimes I could smell your neck
That's why I smell my neck because I'm getting to be an old man way in the worst. No, I don't
Keep
The Friday blow that way towards you and keep talking like another one percolating that's gonna knock your fucking wiggle off
This will give you more hair than fucking for him's
This will grow you smell what's coming out of my ass next. I'll wake up tomorrow. You'll be a beetle
You understand me like one of the people say what happened to leave is a gentleman John Lennon
So is my hair gonna smell like your shit you who knows I don't know how was that weed to just smoke
So I forgot about fucking mum over here
Let me ask you a question. So cuz you do one night. We're at the
One night. I mean when you I watched you I
Watched your couple nights. I'm like this this guy's fucking hilarious disguise
He's in a different league and nobody knows it cuz he's hitting up here
They're forcing them to hide
but that ends tonight and
It was funny because then you came outside you spoke to me about Paul Mooney, and if you know anything about me
That's the education that I got I got the education of Paul Mooney and that's what I forgot when I shot my Netflix special
And that's what I forgot
when I went up to the fourth wall and
I forgot it again. I told Bobby Lee and I told this to rogue and I told a couple people
That Jim Norton
Said something once and it kind of bothered me. He said that he doesn't watch other comic specials
And I thought that was kind of arrogant and I fucking got it why he doesn't watch other comic special
Because it takes your mind away and it lets you think you know
I'm really concerned about the mind. I'm always very concerned about the mind and what goes on in it
And would stand up we have to be ourselves
The biggest thing that people say to us is be yourself be yourself
We never know what that I never know what that meant. I don't know what that means
I have no idea what be yourself means
You know that means for a guy like me to go up there and talk about what I do best
Well, I tell Lee on the phone when I'm on the phone when we in these laughing and we're doing our thing
That's what I do best not when I try to be a witty writer
Not when I try to be somebody I'm not yeah, you have to be who you are you my friend?
non-stage at the five-year mark have found yourself, which is
Truly amazing
You know, it's just truly amazing. You know once this
Special airs. I'm gonna get more dates and I'm gonna take you out in a couple of dates
Just so the world sees you and they're not gonna like you at first
You're gonna come up to me and go
These people in this fucking club do not like me, but I don't want you to give a fuck
Because that's the same education I had from Rogan
They didn't like me and after a while. I knew they weren't gonna like me
So I went out there balls to the wall and it taught me something difference about comedy
They're not gonna like you but if I stick around long enough, you're gonna fucking like me. I
Got an old adage. You may not suck my dick today, but you're gonna suck
I know you got a boyfriend and you love my no
But you got one weakness you do cocaine and I supply that cocaine
So one night somewhere where
You're gonna suck my fucking helmet because I'm gonna show up with an able and catch you off gosh
That was then you know saying now. I don't want my dick sucked. I'm married
It's the truth
You know when you leave the house in the morning and you have that type mentality when you go on stage and you go
They really gonna suck my dick
You know saying like they're either gonna laugh or they're gonna suck my dick. That's who Joe Diaz is
And I forgot until I saw you and the other night when I watched Kenison on that CNN comedy show, I'm like
That's who fucking I
Called him immediately
And I said we got to get him on the show because now I got the hook
To get you on the show because I just don't like putting people on the show
You know people complain. Hey man, put me on your show. You got no reason for me to put you on the show
There's no way you're gonna go with it you your prime
You're ready. You're ready to go out there and do 20 minutes
Every fucking week and let these people see you and you're gonna go through some oh
They're gonna love you in the Bible belt. You know saying
That's you're gonna you're gonna fucking want to quit
That's that's the thing of it though is like I went to a friend's graduation in Lawrence, Kansas
and all of his buddies were around and I
Was I was making gay jokes and they were laughing
Because the thing about it is I don't get booked on little shows around West Hollywood
I don't and
I think a lot of that is because I say faggot or I it's just it's a different kind of perspective
That's not to say that's the only reason like it. It's just it's strange though like I
Don't know how I would do for a gay crowd that was just strictly built for gay
but I was talking with my friend and he's like
You don't want that and I realized that that's that's what the truth is is
I want to be able to go to Greeley and I want to walk into a room where it's mostly straight people
They they don't know anybody gay. They don't know anything like that and if I can walk in there and fucking get them
Then that means the fucking world to me that that's that's where comedy is, you know
We do when we did that detox center. It's like oh, okay. That's where they fucking need comedy
Because it's like holy shit like that that room was just so dour and it's like
Fuck I don't even want to fucking be here
But then we start riffing them we start joking about you know
What we did when we were drunk and how fucked up it was and they start laughing a little bit
And it just it feels better
And that's that's what I listen to your fucking laugh compilation
When I get up out of bed in the morning because I don't want to fucking go to work
I don't want to fucking go to work. I get up. I have to drag myself
I'll listen to fucking I'll listen to church. I'll listen to fucking old
Opium anthony shit
I'll listen to anything to get me the fuck out of bed and do my job
So that I can go to fourth wall and try something that happened or try a bit that that might work
And I don't know what's gonna work. Do you want to be a comedian? Oh, I fucking
It's it's all I that's all I live and breathe now. It's like fucking
You know, I I I wanted to put myself in situations where they were fucking they were tough
Because it was like
You know, the first time I ever went to the store really quick. I gotta tell you this
I was like, okay, this is gonna happen. I I I'm I'm excited because you always hear about it
So I went there and Doug stanhope was gonna be there
And I was like, okay, I'm gonna fucking break my cherry on stanhope. This is amazing
And I remember standing there and the door guys were come on this way. Come on. Let's go
They weren't, you know, they weren't mean, but it wasn't like a jovial. Hey, welcome to it was like come on. Let's go
I was like, all right
And I remember when I walked in it was cold
And it was fucking black and it was dark and those neon lights were on
And blaring was when the levee breaks
lead zeppelin
And I was fucking scared
I don't know why I got really anxious and I was like, oh fuck. This is this is a crazy dark place
and I sat down and
Fucking stanhope just he crushed like I it was amazing
And then I walked out of there and I just I walked like for an hour and a half
And it was just like
What the fuck was that?
And that's why like the store when you talk about the store and you're like, yeah, I'm going up at 10
I went there two nights ago with my buddy
We were just sitting in the back and I was watching these paid regulars
Because everybody's in montreal a lot of people are in montreal and I was like, I'm going to see the real
New word paid regulars and I wanted to see that
And when you watch them, it's like you're still learning shit
And I'm like, fuck man. It was the first time ever that I was like, I want I want that bomb in the or
I fucking want that because I got to do that like fucking a thousand times
In order to do well because the thing that you don't realize is when you go up in the main room or you go up in the or
You fucking crush
You do and I
Look, I'm here. I'm telling you. Yes. Oh me me as it's yeah you and it's it I I compare it to this
Do you watch that new Elvis documentary? Yes on HBO. Absolutely the thing that that got me about because I was like
I never got into Elvis because I I don't know brilliant and I looked and watching that guy perform
I was like, oh, he's got the voice
But it's the fucking performance when when he would throw out his arms
And he would fucking do that shit and he would just he had this fucking attitude
You have that when you walk on stage
It's it's it's it's the whole thing. Yeah, and it is it's fear
I don't know what the fuck it is because when you walk out there, like I said mooney has it's it's this fucking
Well, that's what I got attitude. Yeah, that's what it's this attitude. I get mad at Lee. I get mad every day of late
Because Lee thinks about
Shit, and I told him two weeks ago. I told him if you don't get rid of that, you're never gonna be a good cop
Gotta get rid of that that shit that you have until you don't get rid of that
It's not gonna work out for you. You're gonna take it to a certain level
It's not gonna work out for you. You gotta take that safety then let it go
In all aspects of your life
And it's really weird like you think about and you're like, what the fuck is he saying?
What the fuck is he saying
So we and I was I was scared of everything when I got in the comedy
And the more I did comedy the more that pussy shit I had to get rid of
Like I had to get rid of it
And I got in the prison
And I had done a thousand things before I got into comedy
But I was still such a fucking little mama's boy
When I got into comedy, I thought it was gonna be a perfect world
But I knew for me to get where I was going. It couldn't be perfect
Because this is perfect and it's not
But I'm better off than sitting at the fourth wall
And doing five shows at the fourth wall and sleeping in my van
Do you know what I'm saying? Oh, fuck yeah, so I knew that
For this to be perfect
There was gonna be some years of imperfection and that means you have to
Get out
Of your comfort zone. You don't like eating ass
Gotta eat that
I don't give a fuck what you like or what you don't like
Because while you're eating ass, you're gonna think of a joke
While you're doing all that nasty disgusting stuff
You're thinking of jokes when you take your dick out of a woman and she pussy farts
And then goes
I'm just sitting there next to her you're like this is life. You cannot be a comic without life experiences
Every time I go to the fourth wall I get angry as fuck
For two things the comics touch the mic
And then they take their phone out like the answer to their fucking problems
Is on this stupid fucking phone
Show me one stand-up who looks on that fucking phone
For you to become a good stand-up you gotta get rid of that phone because you gotta live life
You gotta see every fucking picture
You gotta see every fucking picture if you're too busy doing this you can't do it
You're gonna be limited to this
To be a great, you know, I I I love when people fucking call me shit
And call me names and call me a bullshit. I didn't have the life I had
I laugh because
I was forced by my mother dying
I was forced to live a different life
You think I like sitting on a fucking bar
Is that what you think? I love doing drugs
I could do drugs till the cows come home
But you will not see me in a fucking bar in a booth
Acting like johnny bananas
Drinking bottle service you'll never see me would you would never see when I was 25 either
I like doing drugs in my own house. Yeah, I don't like people saying me weak
Yeah, why would you want to see somebody see you all week?
You know Joe Rogan in the 20 year relationship. He caught me on coke one night and I couldn't even make eye contact with him
I just sat in his car and kept looking straight. He told me he wasn't coming down
So I went off early and all of a sudden he showed up. I was like god damn it. He goes come on get in the car
Let's go for a ride
And I'm gonna call coke dot
With the window open. We had a super
Smoking cigarettes like fucking trial might make my jaw stop
You know embarrassed. I wasn't from because I never wanted him to see me on coke. He knew I did coke and that's fine
But I never ever wanted him to see me do coke because it was my weakest point
You know, uh
I don't even know how we got in this conversation about drinking all about you getting out of the safety all this shit when I break your balls
That you you can't become a comic if you eat three types of sushi
Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, you can't become a good comic if you eat shrimp
tuna and spicy tuna
You have no life experiences
You have no this is why I'm I'm appreciative that Lee's going through what he's going through now
Because and you guys saved him
He was on the couch every night listening to some chick talk about bugs and
Stupid fucking tv shows and he was buying it
He was buying it. He was really buying into and I had a problem
He didn't know how lucky he was he got rid of her and started his own life
And I don't care if he does stand up or not. That's not the reason why I love him
I love him that he's free and he's dirty and he's seeing the world for what he is
But you can't get be a good stand-up. You know when you told me you went to the gay bar with him that night
I almost jerked off all over my side
I was gonna jerk off coming my hand and throw it in my face like the priest throws it
When you're a young kid they just throw it in your face
Yeah, because that's how happy you made me that you went to a gay bar because you did something
Just the fact that he did something
You know, I have a friend that comes in here and does coke. I don't do cocaine
I don't want to do coke
But he's gonna have to do it one time if he's gonna be a good comment
Just not enough to get him a heart attack
Just to taste it till he gets his dick sucked or something
You know, you know, this is a life that we live
I don't want you to be a junkie. I've never wanted him to eat 20 edibles
But I don't want him to go out with a bunch of comics one night and they'd give him an edible when they fuck him up
Because then now I gotta go fuck somebody else. Yeah
So I'll fuck him up and I'll take care of him because he knows I take care of him
Yep
So nobody could fuck with him when I give him a fucking animal tranquilizer
And he don't know it and he tells me that he fell asleep with his clothes on
You know what I'm saying I got him I got him
He took it from me. You know what I am like, so
But then like that's a
Because when you said a couple minutes ago that I need to stop doing things. I've been thinking about it
I don't I forget when you have to for you to get to that next level in your life
Right, you got not this shit off
But you also told me to not to not be as dirty as I've been. I don't think I'm that dirty
I want you to be clean the beginning. So you the first two years you should be clean just to learn how it is
You don't look like a guy that's gonna talk about eating your ass. Do you eat ass? No, then why would you talk about it?
I don't do you fuck people in front of the breakfast?
Have you ever fucked somebody in the ass and come in their face? No, then how you gonna talk about it?
I don't okay. Then what do you talk about not having sex? No, I don't talk about
But you told me even then you like don't be that dirty. No, I want you to do it. Don't do it
Like I did it. I'm a loser. It took me 27 years when it could have took me 15
You follow I'm trying to say to you
It took me 27, but I could have done it in 15 if I would have done these same facts that I'm telling you to fucking knock on
Just shut your fucking mouth and do your first two years clean
And at the end of two years then come back to me and I'll go okay this year. You're gonna work improv
But I've never done improv. I've never gone through the groundlings. I really don't give a fuck the first time
I see you do a joke on the road. I will fire you you will go home on your own dime
You will not do a fucking joke in front of me. I want you to go up there and say hello
How are you people tonight? What do you do for a living and start right there and go backwards?
And that's what you do for a year and then I'm gonna make you break that habit
And every time I see you talking to the audience, I'm gonna make you get off. I'm gonna throw something at you
A fucking yo-yo a rock a fucking quarter until I cut you until I cut you
That means now, but guess what by the end of five years. I'm gonna give you an education
I'm gonna teach you how to be dirty for two. I'm gonna teach you how to be dirty for two
I'm gonna teach you how to do improvise for one
I'm gonna teach you how to stop improvising because it's a bad fucking habit
But I want you to know it
I don't want you have cigarettes on you
No, you don't smoke. No, I don't want you to smoke cigarettes, but I do want you to smoke a cigarette
I don't want you to smoke cigars, but I do want you to smoke a cigar
Do I want you to suck Eric's cock? It wouldn't be nice if I get a picture. I'll start to be inquiring but
I don't want you to suck his cock
But I enjoyed that you went with him to a gay bar and experienced it
And I enjoy that he loves you as much as he does and I know that he would never let nothing happen
When you tell me you're with him at two in the morning
I know the worst that could happen is you could fall asleep and wake up with your pants on backwards
And the ass is a little sore and he he's sleeping dreaming with a smile
I went to the when I went to the gay bar. I was so overwhelmed in there
You have to be I'm overwhelmed
You see me hang on gay bars now
I wouldn't walk into a fucking gay bar today if you paid me because I don't
I didn't talk to them about it was raining and I turned the wrong way out of the bar
So for 10 minutes, I thought that my car was stolen and I was gonna have to tell you that my car got stolen
When I was at the gay bar scared to come back and do a fucking bar
This can't happen to me because every every time nothing happens to me for 29 years
And then I meet joey and then everything bad happens. I never got one sty
I get a sty coming back on the day of a podcast two years of clean comedy
One year of improvised comedy one more year of clean comedy
And then you could talk about sex, but then you're on the road in the car
So you're meeting different people. You're without joey. You're in montana
You're in mioming. You're in fucking Idaho. You're gonna get notices that'll tell you don't curse
Cause there's a Mormon audience tonight. What are you doing? Do they tell you that in advance? They just book you Lee
They book you they go. Hey, you're gonna work august
Seven to the 11th, which is Tuesday through Saturday, right?
And then the week of the gig they're gonna email you and you're gonna print it and it's gonna pre-apprint that
With the five gigs and the first gigs want to say
You can't be blue as a feature act and you're gonna go thank god joey
Made me work clean for two years
Is that what the store was for you guys like a training ground or was this just shit? No, no
My training ground was triple
My training ground was driving in triple. That's the training ground of killers
We'll talk to the triple if you need to somebody call triple
I'll call triple for you and get you and fuck over here in the car
Out there in the winter january with ski tires on
When you gotta get off stage, you're the only mexican in Idaho in this part of my
They've never seen a mexican. They touch you funny. Can I touch you?
You ever see that episode of the Sopranos? What's uh, what's this? What's Elvis land where there's no jews and no italians?
That's what they send you to do comedy
So first of all, you got to go up on stage and you go hi and lisa and i'm jewish right away. You're losing half the audience
Like half the places where you go to the train. They've never seen a jew. They'll come up to you later on and touch you
I've never tested you before my first jew. It's hysterical
You know when I was going to these places people had never heard of a cuban
And I was saying dumb jokes. I was like
I swam here in a two by four. You know shit like that. They would love it
They would love it because that was they did their ideology of a cuban
You know, I would talk about desioners and stupid shit. They would love it. That was my way of I didn't know what to do then
I did not
I had no idea what to do, you know
The store. Yes. The store was the second part of my education the store. Okay
When I walked into the economy store I was doing comedy
Honestly, honestly, five years
Savagery and three years
Stupidity
It was my first two years were very
There's a lot of comics in this town that i'm a comic and they had a business card
I had a business card, you know, you really did. Yeah. I'm a comic and I told people
But I would always book these gigs but I would get too coked up to get down there
So by the time the gig at 11, I would always cancel so I was unreliable
And then I went to new york
And I did nine months in new york
And at the new york comedy club, I kind of got it. I kind of got what it was and then I saw something at the
At the uh
This bar I saw John Legrezzamo performing and that's what it all came to me
It takes you three years just for the whole mechanism to come to you
Takes years just for the combination to come to you
Once it comes to you and you set your plan on what you're going to do
That was what I did then everything
All the negative shit that you heard all your life
went away
Like it all came to play somebody told you something once
And now comedy
Is living that like when I went to prison and they did the mental evaluation and all that
That guy told me he goes I kept asking because all the other invicts kept saying what did your paperwork say?
I'm like, I don't know and they're like you you don't want to know you've got to pay your attorney to find out
That's what the feds know about you know this shit
And I forget what it's called the first week you go to canyons city you go to a place where they do mental testing diagnostic
diagnostic
And what the diagnostic report said was that anything I wanted that if I wanted something I would take it
That if I wanted something you had I would take it, you know
And I remember when I came back from colorado and I really when I came back from new york after doing
nine months
And just getting beat up
You know nine months in new york is an emotional beating as a comic my second year
It was like because it wasn't just the emotional beating lee has a degree
In fact the end of three years lee doesn't like what happens. He goes back to fucking editing
He could run a podcast division. He could run a radio store now. I had no qualifications
comedy was it dog
I already had the felonies had two felonies great two felonies
Now everybody's looking jumping out of their way to hide you
The little mickey mouse degree wasn't really gonna do nothing to me once they investigated
They knew that my degree was gonna be a mickey mouse
So I had no options
When I got it when I got into comedy the only option was living in a car traveling
And not answering to anybody
That was all I was good at doing was not answering to anybody and living my own life
I could be there at eight. I could get up at eight in the morning. I could do all that shit
But the drugs made me unreliable, you know
So when I walked into the store at the eight-year mark
I didn't know it was like a re-education if that's what you're asking. Yeah. Yes. It was a re-education and just like you
My spots were late
And Paul Mooney would come on at 12
Fuck and when I left seattle somebody had came up to me one day and turned me on to the album called race
When all that shit was going down with oj and nicole
Oh, fucking and I could lie to you. I could lie to both of you in the audience and say that I've known about
Paul Mooney on my life. I didn't know who Paul Mooney was
till 1995
And I've been into Richard Pryor since 1975 74
So I never knew who Paul Mooney was and then I read a book
I read some book
And it mentioned Paul Mooney and Richard Pryor and they wrote together and then
There was rumors that Paul Mooney blew Richard Pryor when he was coked out one night and shit like that
And just you know when he walked into the store
It was like this big legend
And I had his cd and in those days when you had somebody's cassette. That's what I had. I had a cassette
I thought I thought those were the best two kids like I loved delirious
And I loved andrew dice clay's first album
But at that time I was listening to the night the laughter died
Oh and race those are two great comedy CDs for the five-year comic to listen to
The first year comic cannot digest those two CDs, especially the night the laughter died
Oh my god, we listened to that and I I was like the fucking balls to do this
Is insane. I I was sitting there and I literally was like there were moments where I would fucking cringe. It's be like, what the fuck
And that's the gift. I'm not even just a deal but to put it out. Oh, yeah, that that was why we were like this. That's the gift
To make you go
To make your catholic when I say have to have to fucking jokes. I say you don't think they ring my catholicism bell
Are you really fucking crazy?
Are you fucking crazy?
Do you know that the first couple years of my life I couldn't do comedy in front of my really really really really good friends
Because I didn't want them to know I thought this way
Like I would do shows in jersey and bomb
Eat dicks bags people that'll never even talk to me again. These people would leave embarrassed
Because I would freeze up in front of them. I never wanted them to know I had those thoughts
Even though you had done drugs with them and
I didn't want them to have these thoughts. I didn't know I get that I fucking and then when I did the
I did a rock bar a couple years ago. I ate a bag of dicks
Oh
Before I started working Gotham
I did this bar called
Something beautiful the bitter end the bitter end
I've heard about that. I did the bitter end five or six years ago
Yeah, I did the bitter end. I got 170 people in there on a tuesday night
And my friends were there from the sixth grade
And I could not go into my material though
I'm trying to improvise. I'm getting red in the face
I could feel sweat beads going from the back of my head down my back onto my jeans
It was horrible. At the end I was going to a fight. I blamed a lot of shit that night hecklers
It was me. It was me that couldn't do that material in front of my dear friends now
I don't give a fuck like you
I thought a lot about you when I was shooting the special and I thought about
What I wanted because everybody kept saying this is the first time people are going to see you
In other countries and stuff. So you really want to introduce yourself, you know, bro. I missed the boat
This is all not just being funny
Don't introduce yourself. I don't have to say hello
I don't have to say goodbye. I don't have to tell you I'm gay
I don't have to tell you I'm an addict. I don't have to tell you I went to prison
I have one job as a comic and that's to be fucking funny. Yeah
That's it
And we get confused and I want to I brought you on the show
To thank you to your face
For unconfusing me
You unconfused me about comedy like now. I know who I am by seeing you
When you're on stage you just took kennison that
Some people can't wait to tell you they're fucking gay
In today's society, I can't wait to tell you I got mental illness
So they everybody wants to tell you they got something like a ptsd
All those years of doing drugs and joey
Gave me
Anxiety does it go shut your fucking mouth
Before you became gay before you became a comic before I became a felon
Before I did anything. We're both men
Men and we have an obligation as men
When you go up on stage and you're a catholic man, especially with art
It's fucking hard to begin it
But if you look into what do you think jesus one of the apostles didn't crack fucking jokes to jesus down the time
Is that they just don't tell you in the bible, but that would be one of those motherfuckers
That had to go, you know jesus what's up with the sandals, you know saying?
The fuck, you know, you think richard prior wrote that joke again
What would you do if somebody actually told jesus?
Don't you go down there and mess with them jews without no money?
But it got passed down to richard prior like in chicago where he was growing up in mowing chicago wherever he grew up
You know, that's what it felt like when you I met jesus. I met him on the railroad depot
I told them don't go down there
Don't you go down there and mess with them jews without no money
The first time I heard that I had to be 10 and I really knew what the fuck they were talking what year that
Uh, the niggas crazy come out. I shouldn't be googling this

And look at each other and go, what the fuck is wrong with him?
So after gay pride, I went back to biggie wanting, you know what I'm saying?
But I'm still going to keep them honest with Madonna burning up like a virgin and physical attraction
Drives fucking gay people crazy when you put Madonna doesn't it they go fucking bananas
Especially the Beverly Hills gay community. They go fucking nuts
It's funny. I have a friend and uh, and uh, and
Hollywood and she's a comic not anymore
She's a drunk and I love it dearly, but we don't chat anymore because she's too much of a drunk
But she's really part of a big uh gay and she goes to pride. She does all that stuff
And she introduced me to a lot of gay guys
And I like 30% of them in Hollywood because
I think that they were doing it for all the wrong reasons
You know, like I know what a gay guy acts like
All my life my mom at the bar
You know my thing of money going I loved him
I loved him because he used to tell me stories about music
He was Cuban and he knew about the Ramones and fucking
He had gone to see the almond brothers. He said he sold crazy coke to one of the almond
You'll have a deep an ego. I said it
It's a deep um pedicato. He used to always tell me all these stories about coke. He would sell to
But he would always go see the Ramones. Was it the Ramones and shit like that that would zb gb's and punk
Yeah, cb gb's I think
My mom used to always say you like my thing of money
Go don't ever come home with a story because I'll bust your fucking head and I'll bust his fucking head too
But my mother always loved Martin the fag
But Eric I gotta tell you something. I just wanted to bring you on the podcast
To thank you, you know, you said to me one night
Again back to the conversation
uh
You said
That there's a lot of comics that don't shake your hand
there's
No, the there was one
Uh that didn't like the the gay material I was doing
And uh, he said i'm not shaking your fucking hand what you just said. That's disgusting. Was he gay or straight? He was straight
And you said something to me that you thought I would like you
I did when I first met you it was like because I I had felt bad and
It was it was one of the things where in west Hollywood
I was like am I am I saying to am I saying faggot too much? Am I am I you know?
Because the one thing I didn't want to do is I didn't want to hurt
You know my community because like or not those are my fuck. That's that's my brothers and sisters right there
So I was like, all right, maybe I need to back off that what what what the fuck am I doing here?
You know, it's not like they they ostracized me. They were just saying
Why do you have to say faggot so much and for me? It was like that's that's what I grew up around
Like that's what I heard and it didn't mean what it meant
To you when you heard it because it was it was such a thing where it was like listen
That that is what like if we weren't working fast enough
I remember my uncle buried come on you fucking faggot and we fuck you I can now work
And it was like okay, and I get what they mean by
You know how it can be derogatory and I get that
But like I said, I want I want to I want a gay joke that
Everybody can fucking laugh at that's that's what I really want like that joke that you were referencing
That to me is is is something where I'm like, okay. I think everybody can understand this fucking situation
But all your jokes are real correct. Yeah, absolutely stories on stage and you add your spin to them
Absolutely, you're writing your life
I had to I had to text somebody to let him know where I was the night I did that
I think that's how the Arabian guy because I was worried I was like hey if this is a fucking trick
You need to know where the fuck my last thing was and like
I I can't I can't go missing
I'll text you and you know the guy that I'll text I'll tell you what was after the show
You know, it's crazy because
I admire you. I admire you because at 55 I have no fucking life
I have uh zero
Friends like that. I do shit with during the week
And one night I called him up and I go where are you and Eric and he goes Eric got out of the car
He went on some gay app and he just started walking and I'm like
Fuck
I wish I could do that
Just get on a fucking app and meet somebody on magnolia boulevard at two in the morning
You know and it's just the balls you have the safety, you know when I got into comedy. I got into comedy because of lennie bruce
Because now I'm not I'm the farthest fucking thing from lennie bruce. Like I'm scared to go out past midnight Eric
Like who's the fucking fag in this room? Who is it's show ds?
You know, I said I totally last really guess what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna call him for spots at midnight at the store and then I went home and started thinking about it
I gotta drive home at 12 40 up over that hill shit could happen, but I ain't gonna go off
Who's become the fag I have and this is what I gotta get out of I gotta get out of this
This I told him like all this should change
This should change when he gets dirty. I'm getting out of this road, you know, I'm back at the store. I'm going back
I'm going back to the store. I'm going back to the store. Oh, yeah
I'm going back to the store. Maybe that's the last one because that's not the last one. I'm just getting warmed up
Let me tell you something going back to the store because that's why I belong
This little pussy foot and I was doing or going to flappers and the fourth wall has to come to an end
I gotta go down there. That's why I was I was just tipping around like I always do
I have the same problems you people do at home
I procrastinate to and I and I but I do enough to get by
And to fool everybody
And I found out but I don't fool me
I don't fool me and it eats me all up inside
So that's it now. I'm going to the store. No, that's it
I'm going to the store because I know
I would hate to go to the store because I would hate the bomb
I'm going down there from now on to bomb like the other night. You know what I do
I would say how scared I am of life
When I drive to do comedy, you know, I don't put the radio on the car on the way there
Really? You want to talk about people being fags
You want to talk about gay man, even gay guys listen to the radio before a gig
Because they're fucking excited not me. I'm taking I'm it's in my head
And I had to get out of my head
When I went to Vegas and I realized that both nights I had done 15 minutes effortly
I was so happy
No material
Let's go
Like the old days if we get to it we get to it
And if we don't we don't
I'm going to talk about what's on my mind and my heart from now on whether you like it or not
Fuck yeah
We do a half hour of it if we now let me go back to material we tiptoe around the material
But I'm a lot better when I'm not scared. I'm working the last two years scared
Maybe that was your cell phone in a way that was blocking you. Yeah. Oh, no. No like I totally
I got into I got in the prison in 89. I didn't get on stage till 91
Took me two years because I knew it was gonna change my life
But I was I would cancel on tuesday at four
I don't feel good when we know something's gonna change our life
We become such fucking pussies
It's ridiculous when something's gonna change my life
I become the biggest fucking pussy in the world
We all do and then we have the balls to complain about this and talk about this and talk about that so
If you're scared to do something because it's gonna change your life go for it, whether it's addiction
whether it's
Whatever the fuck it is because I do the same thing
But that was the reason why I wanted to have you on man. You're a fucking powerhouse
I think you're gonna be a household name in a few years
And uh, I'm happy your friends with Lee. I'm happy that you take care of him. Yeah, I love you, buddy
Took him under your wing. You know, you're gonna have but he's gonna have suck your dick eventually
