Starting point is 00:04:41 Exciting what a motivational Monday my goodness. It's all about dog. If you like Monday, you ain't shit I don't even need my anal beads today. We just do it. No, no, no, let me say great. I got a Monday. It's like 20 to 6 In the morning. Oh, yeah, Monday. I lived to get up at 6 20 to 6 coffee a few fucking tutturuts Get on that fucking computer that people know it's Monday. You got rotten choked that motherfucker. If you want your money Because people walk around a little fucking debt that you know, they walk around a little lost You gotta remind them that this ain't a fucking pinball game. This is life motherfucker. You know feels like a pinball game Listen, I don't give a fuck if you're doing drugs if you're eating opiates, whatever you gotta get up on Monday and hustle That's right. As long as you make a deal with yourself. Listen, I'm gonna work 40, but I'm gonna eat 55 pills. I'm good
Starting point is 00:05:27 I'm gonna work 40, but I'm gonna eat 55 pills. You know I'm saying if I can have some pills, that'd be great There's nothing there's nothing like waking up on a Monday. There's nothing going on, but guess what? Yeah, it's true There's never nothing going on. Let's just read something on Monday Excuse me. We were talking about that. You saw the Leonard Skinner documentary I couldn't believe you saw it. I didn't know what made you what made you watch that I'm just randomly up first of all. I love documentaries, but randomly that one was on and I was like Oh, I've been wanting to see this because I've been seeing the promo for it on Showtime I didn't know anything about it, but I watched like the affair
Starting point is 00:06:04 What's the show as I went like Shameless I'm dying up here is done, but like the affair is still going so I've been seeing the command I'm like, oh, I love Leonard Skinner. I love Leonard and then it was all I was like I caught it right at the beginning I was so happy. It was like one morning. I got up at seven. I must have been channeling you I never get up that early and I botched it Monday mornings I believe that whatever you do any other day of the week Monday is the day. I never get up early Monday sets the tone for the whole week. That's why I'm so against Sunday night show Like for years. I was always against Sunday night shows on the road
Starting point is 00:06:38 I fought hard as a feature act not to work them because I feel that Monday is the day of the spirit It's a day that you're home. I think it's Sunday You like candles you fucking think of the people who died and how they're not around but you're still still are on Monday Monday I get up every morning and think of somebody who's dead right go. What the fuck? What would he give today to get up to go to the gym? Yeah, I'm saying like what would he give today? Like I'm thinking of going to the gym, but not really my right. You know what fuck that Motherfucker was here. He'd be at the fucking gym right now. There you go because that's how he would change life So I draw on that shit, especially on Mondays for the rest of the week. That's amazing
Starting point is 00:07:17 But when you watch that documentary like I've been preaching Leonard's skin it's something about the Oakland show When I watch like I watch I have the Atlantic City shows on tape I've watched tons of their performances online. Okay, and when you watch the when I watched the Leonard's Skinner live from Oakland It the first time I watched it destroyed my insides like I had to shut it down And think about what I was doing wrong with my comedy. This is maybe two or three or four years ago
Starting point is 00:07:51 When I first I discovered that like in a stone stupor where you just keep it Yeah, yeah, you're in a rabbit hole for rabbit hole whatever And I it just took me away and I played it again And I couldn't believe it and I didn't say nothing nobody for a long time And I was starting jujitsu And I was going through this thing comparing jujitsu to the anything. That's an art. Okay. It's all really the same Yeah, whether you paint whether you got on a subway and draw one hand You have to do you know I'm saying like those guys are going on to the subway and they pay with one hand. The train is moving
Starting point is 00:08:23 It takes a special skill to do that, you know, but that just doesn't happen overnight You have to find it You have to get the strength to pull yourself because I can't even pull myself up Never mind go for two miles drawing one right like I want to see mission impossible You know, that's that's a mission right there holding on to a rope The bomb was supposed to go off for 15 minutes two hours. I sat there before the bomb went off I never wanted to kick myself more in the head. How long does 15 minutes take? Tom cruise can make 15 minutes turn into a fucking hour
Starting point is 00:08:51 I'm sitting there going Jesus Christ A rock slips then a fucking thing and then the hand then the glove falls off It was craziness, but I would say spoiler alert, but I don't I don't give a fuck I don't give a fuck about spoiler alert. I don't give a fuck about spoiler alert Do you know I'm just even mission impossible go fuck yourself That's it. It's that simple if I went usually gone I want to see the equalizer too and it was the new one. Yeah, it was men's a month I'm still in love with man on fire
Starting point is 00:09:17 Man on fire was great. I can't take anything else. He does equalize the first one. I like but I just see him so I related so much to man on fire. Yeah that it's too much It's like Charles Bronson the mechanic when I saw Charles Bronson the mechanic. I related to that dude Okay, that's what I wanted to be my mother died I did I when I first saw that I was a kid But I always remembered that how he killed people for a living That's an interesting fucking concept He killed people for a living. He got their dossier and medical records. Yeah, and he just shot people for a living
Starting point is 00:09:51 I never thought about it again till you know 10 years later when my mother died, maybe I should rent myself as a hit man because I got no emotions, you know But then when I watched death wish, okay, you know like death wish When you think about death wishing like that, huh? The rape scene In death wish. Oh, yeah Like as a kid like that gave me PTSD like that Taught me what the sexual harassment was Like that's that for as a kid 10 years that movie came out in 72
Starting point is 00:10:25 And you saw it when you were like I'm 42nd street. I didn't check IDs. That's true. If you could breathe into a glass you had the money Yeah, they let you in and in the union city cinema. They let you in so all those movies I saw those movies and I went left down like what the fuck Charles Bronson that rape scene even today bothers the fuck out of me. You know who's in that rape scene I think the first yeah go boom Jeff
Starting point is 00:10:54 My old acting coach. Yeah, one of the rapers. See you're lucky. He didn't rape you in the end. Did you see that? Yeah, he wasn't into me He was sleeping with my other scene partners. Oh, yeah, he fucks everybody His acting class was a sucker dick class that guy was he was teaching women how to act like him and harby That's what harby was doing harby's learning how to suck a dick class Him on the first floor Every gold bloom on that and the other guy the junkie from taxi Oh, uh, he had a fucking acting school. Oh, you're kidding. He was he was at the end. He did anything
Starting point is 00:11:23 I mean, that's all they do every time we do a scene. He'd go. Why isn't this rehearsed? I'm like because you took her to hawaii jerk off How am I supposed to rehearse it when you took my scene partner away? Like he they did it every time. Are you all right, Lee? I'm just I can't imagine I'm trying to imagine harby's dick sucking class I'm going to learn a scene study We're going to see study from last tango in paris and I'm going to play model brand that you're going to suck my dick And do they like does that go because I've heard like a couple years ago
Starting point is 00:11:53 This is not sexual But I heard a casting agent for a major show was running a casting seminar that you had to go to to get on the show So but are people just like having sex with their acting coaches to try to get somewhere or they just Can talk to me anything everybody's having sex with everybody to get somewhere somewhere. Yeah You you want to move up somehow Whatever way you can When I went plus it's a story me and I don't know we're into acting classes. I love that. I don't love acting classes I don't know I used to go to the one on

I would beat the horn go fuck yourself. Don't stand out there in the street I would always the great brian reese. He's still there. Yes, but he don't make him stand on the street no more Yeah, they have to go outside to rehearse those scene and then you come back in and you do it It's a cold reading technique. He's great.

So my first acting class was frank magna Okay, frank magna was if you bring his name up to dice. Dice will look at you like we Frank magna is one of those italians that you can't mention andrew dice play around why he'll He loses his mind like in a good way or a bad way frank magna was like a writer And he wrote something for andrew and he clicked it. I don't know what the story is. I don't know the guy was furious When I went in there, he's like, well, man, because I had to like call him in those days You're gonna call him

Starting point is 00:14:56 One day I went in there In those days you had to meet with them And they would interview you and shit like they were legit like they were legitimately trying to steal your money and Totally they would ask you what is your purpose of this mission? And and you would say I want to be an actor and I'm gonna stand up and I never forget when I said stand up He looked at me And he goes, okay, I'll give you a shot, but the first time you mess up you're out of here He goes stand-ups are a little loof. I'm not really a fan of stand-ups becoming actors
Starting point is 00:15:25 Robin Williams kind of pulled Whatever but yeah, doesn't like stand-up acting Because I try to work. You know what we we had it going on. It was good. But the only problem was it was mondays From seven you can't do Monday's Monday's was no Monday's was the hottest night in LA the 97 It was Latino night the last factory sold out headlined by Pablo and fucking poor Jews and those guys Freaky Monday at the at the improv, which was huge Who did freaky Monday? I remember that name, but I wasn't doing stand-up Monday was like fucking
Starting point is 00:16:00 It was it wasn't as big as a black show as they had at the commie store at the time with the with the tories and It wasn't 450. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This one was packed Fat Tuesday your fat Tuesday was the store. Yeah, but Monday if you could get on at the improv Killed you walked out of there with a card because from eight to eight twenty It was josh wolf. We knew the booker So we got in early. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and it was like josh wolf me somebody else in the store and then David tell Pablo somebody big that was white would come in. Yeah and destroy the room and then the black guy will come up
Starting point is 00:16:42 And then they would take over the room. It was booked by gersh at the time Gersh ran it gersh ran it but not really that's the improv was all industry industry at that time So if you walked in there on a Monday, you better bring your a-game You will you would walk out of there with something and the same across talented laugh factory. It was latino night 400 deep Yeah, people hanging off the sides Carlos Mancio going into place would blow up Yeah, it was just it was great. It was a different day and then you went to the comedy store as an open mic So if you could do a triple crown on a Monday, that was like getting your dick sucked
Starting point is 00:17:18 By a guy with ice cubes in his mouth. You know what I'm saying? Like that's what that that's what it was like Lee you're remembering that or I really took that in. I just don't know how I don't want to hear the story behind that But it's funny because I don't know I was sitting behind the sidelines watching all this. Yeah, I was waiting tables back then. This is what's interesting that You're watching the You know like I was talking about James Stevens the third one day Oh, Mooney used to call him James Stevens the third. Oh, yeah, and I was telling the story that one bring him up He but he would get standing away. James was terrific. Absolutely. He was terrific
Starting point is 00:17:53 He was because he was talented And as a stand-up as a school from a traditional stand-up you hate that shit. Yeah, okay? You hate props. You hate all that shit like I'm from traditional stand-up Right. I'm you know saying like I don't want to see a prop. I don't want to see a drink in your hand on stage I don't know like nothing. Yeah, I want you to do straight-up fucking comedy So I remember I was like this is when this is what the frustrations you go through as a comic Like people that sing on stage. I hate it. That's a lot now. And it kills by the way And it kills Lee on the road. I didn't like it so much in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Starting point is 00:18:28 If a guy goes up there and sings songs are the kill I don't listen whatever makes them laugh and whatever makes them feel good Now at this point I understand James Stevens the third Will go up there do a little bit of comedy play the organ and then go into song His voice was brilliant. Yeah, he sang he did great song were the comedic songs and um not Not really but he would get a standing ovation Then I remember Eddie went up there when Eddie Griffin. He's let's keep it going for James Stevens the terror Yeah, they always did it. I don't know if he's he notices just ain't the second star. It's the motherfucking comedy star
Starting point is 00:19:03 People hated it but he did he hated it was a lot and then you had he fights people still hate it But he put props and he did a whole shebang I'm lying to you because I'm telling you because I appreciate the art He fights was a comic that had this big brilliant That at the end it wings would get attached to his back the gospel singer gospel singers and black people singing and clapping And there was 20 people behind them clapping. There was all faces. It was great. It was great. It was great Mitzi had a great eye for that type of bizarre and there was just you you went down there if you had to follow him you go
Starting point is 00:19:40 Fuck he was brilliant. You're done as he's cleaning the stage and you're walking out And he's still pulling his props behind the curtain. You're like, come on buddy. Let me try to Let me get this going. You're done. These are all the experiences, but you saw all this out more I know it. I used to help teeth pull his fucking props in because it was so many Harry basal too. They would fucking run around and flip around on stage. That's right. I brought him Rusty Dolly. I brought him down to the brand. He did I was like, that's 20 years too late, ain't it? What's what's the guy who does the the watermelon
Starting point is 00:20:21 Gallagher did he ever go to the storm? Yeah, I still have my poncho because when I first started He was doing he was doing a show in the main room or something and unfortunately It didn't draw a lot But they gave us ponchos to wait tables and I was like, what about the drinks? If they're going to be like pieces of watermelon and whatever else he's smashing In the drinks and they're like, no, don't worry about it. Just wear your poncho So I still have my Gallagher poncho and it has his name all over it like amazing Jonathan, right? Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:20:50 The fucking guy that with the with the puppet Both of them. Oh, well both of them both of them. I'm a big fan. The one guy who hates that guy with the puppet If I'm doing because he makes 82 million dollars. Wait, wait, there's one that not Jeff Dunham Andrew doesn't know him There's another one in vegas that got a deal from america's got talent. I think I can't figure his name but every time His billboards are everywhere. We also knew the other guy that had the puppet and yeah Willie Tyler and no, no, he had a dick and people would do lines of coke off the puppets dick and shit like that Otto and george. Otto and george
Starting point is 00:21:26 And I have nothing against this guy, but have you seen the one from america's got talent? He wears like a dragon suit and he has a little chihuahua and I see him on Comedy club calendars like when I go to look if he sells tickets, man, they're gonna take them. They sell tickets It's a business and some comedians get pissed Some comedians like I'm not going back There's a gig to that Yeah, you're like, I'm not going to that club if they support like I'd never forget When that when the when the first reality shows was marina melina and the guy that one was a comic
Starting point is 00:21:55 But he was out of the game already. He lived in portland And his closing joke. He would light his pants on fire And he would say is it me or is it hot in here or something? I swear to god, he would light his pants on fire and say is it me? Is it hot in here something crazy and sometimes his jeans would turn off sometimes they wouldn't So when he went on america's whatever this is 98 or star search 97 It was probably star search or something. No, no, no, where's the start? This is a uh a marriage show that they found out he really wasn't a millionaire
Starting point is 00:22:30 He was a liar He was a realtor that didn't really because he was a realtor in malibu. I remember that show like it was a bunch of girls Who thought he was yeah, like do you want to get a millionaire? Yes? And he went on the road but started selling out So the improvs were booking on my wednesdays and thursdays and they became a millionaire They took a fucking thursday from shimmel show millionaire show millionaire. Oh my god. They took it from shimmel. That's that's disrespect They took like three thursdays from shimmel. Oh, that's severe disrespect. It's my first time working with shimmel. I'm in miami I'm opening up one of his greatest
Starting point is 00:23:03 I'm opening up for this google till the thursday night who lights his pants on fire people chairing a bunch of hot women Bunch of hot women. I'm dying of death. I'd slow death of dicks Okay, because they're there to see him because he's not a bad looking 45 year old And the next thing, you know, I fucking I get up the next morning and I go to the improv and the management is livid I go, what's going on there? Like fucking robert shimmel. He called he cancelled via fax 10 minutes ago Robert shimmel said if you want to fuck with my money I'll fuck with your money and he cancelled
Starting point is 00:23:39 God rest his soul But it's brilliant. It's so weird when You decide to stand up for yourself when you're a comedian Yeah, you have to a lot. I started standing up for myself like in 99 was when I started standing up for myself and going wait a second The same right now. Yeah, just gotta change a little bit. Like you gotta give me an extra 50 bucks or whatever, you know And it's really weird when you watch that documentary we were talking about last night How well it's gonna kept evolving but they kept growing and the music writing kept getting better
Starting point is 00:24:11 But then they did something and this is what defines you as a as a fucking artist They went to the edinberg music festival and they were slated to open up for the stone, right? Which that's how the word became worldwide They didn't get the memo. Like I said, they had that hot hot hot box So they would rehearse that and if you see them in 80s and 77 in oakland They're playing like they're in that box in that box But they don't like they don't see the 18 000 people. Yeah, it's giant They're just and that's what this art is about. Yeah to do a show to put 100% in whether you do a show for eight people
Starting point is 00:24:53 That's right or 18 and when you see that video, we're playing after the show You watch it and you go, wow, I get what they would now and I didn't know about that red hot house I didn't know about that red hot house that hot house or whatever they called this right house Like when they did sweet home alabama, he said I came in one morning and the one guy a little late I started playing opposite him and But the thing that defined them was when they went to edinberg or edinburgo. Where the fuck the music They don't even say it right and they came out and the rule was not to walk on the tongue Yeah, there was a tongue for the rolling stones
Starting point is 00:25:31 That was the rule not to go out on the tongue and he didn't give a fuck He took the guitar playing and walked on the tongue and they said mc jagger was very very angry Right there. They blew the they blew the plate and the stones had nowhere to go If you watch that before oh, yeah, you're like the stones pull their seeds They were up there smoking cigarettes and yeah, he had a bow on because they knew it They had just seen something that was real like those people were like they closed with uh one for the free bird And it was when you close the free bird It's very tough to follow that
Starting point is 00:26:07 That's like joe rogan's and the colesmith bit. Oh my god. Remember you were done. You were done. Don't even just do your best I love how he said free bird builds from like an eight minute song sometimes It would be a 20 15 20 minutes. I'm like, holy shit, but that's like building a bit the same thing But talking about that hot box thing like I learned that from dice He taught me like Whether whether you're in front of 20,000 people or eight people Always give them the show like you're in front of Of you know 20,000 people no matter what I learned on the original well the late nights at the stores
Starting point is 00:26:42 That's what he always has 16 people and you know, that's what it was. I do not believe That I was doing stand up around town for 40 people a night Now I'm a regular at the store and I'm actually going up attend the fucking two for eight people That's what I did last night. My life going Like it's 10 to two and there's eight people and I'm going up on stage and you have a choice to make Yeah, you can go up there with your stupid fucking material that everybody's heard all night long Or just talk to them and see and feel them. Yep. That's exactly Sometimes when you seek a diamond the diamond shows up. I don't know if we're going up there one night
Starting point is 00:27:19 This is 99 I was up there fucking cucked up one night. Oh, I took some How do you do that? I took some chick to the back after I do my sets I get fucked up at the store. Oh, I thought you meant before No, no, no, I thought you meant while you were on stage. I was gonna say that's that's extremely impressive I would always have it in my pocket burn it all in my pocket So as I walked up to that stage, that was a great set to great I would go right to that bathroom Ba ba ba bam
Starting point is 00:27:43 And then I go see the the korean guy that his teeth would come out of his mouth Oh, you mean the huck I give him a tie. I give him a couple lines of coke And his teeth would get stuck his false teeth with Hey, Jody, is that the parking? That cocaine is good. I cannot feel nothing I would give him a couple lines of coke and that means I drank for free the whole night And I would start doing oh my god Oh, yeah, and I give him another line of coke and I'd be doing double jacks coke
Starting point is 00:28:09 Smoking fucking cigarettes. Are you kidding me or what? That's what the story is about jack best. Huck was the man Yeah, I those late nights. I just last night I went on and I was beat to shit because it just came back from Oklahoma I'd done a podcast and I had another set like a little shitty bar or whatever But then I went to the store and it my friends are like, oh, you got two more than you I'm like, all right, whatever and they're like, you're gonna stay.

I was coked up and I took a girl to the back room And I said, this is where the bathroom is and she was where's that line of coke and I gave him a line of coke And then I walked outside
Starting point is 00:29:22 Something happened that I walked outside. She said, where you going and she stripped naked And got on that little houdini couch in the main room bathroom The best the best is little that's old school. They put that in there for women to rest She started playing with a pussy in there, right? And I mean shit was coming out of me You know when they're playing real hard, wouldn't you see like a pinata? She had like a busher hair That I sniffed half of it like I gave a little sniff or something I just whacked off in the face and I walked into her limo. She had like a She was part of like a girl's
Starting point is 00:29:53 Night out like that. We get married on saturday. That's amazing. It was amazing But my point of the story that I went home and I'm like that chick had the ugliest pussy in the world On the next night I went on stage and there had to be eight people And I really wanted to try this joke, but that pussy was so ugly I had to talk about it and I'm like that pussy was so ugly It looked like any monster's teddy bear wolfie. I'll never forget that and wolfie really looked like chewy the door guy Oh my god, like shit like that was what came out of you Because it was 1245. Yeah, you're like, I had that joke. I wrote. Yeah, fuck that shit
Starting point is 00:30:29 There's nine people. This is real dick around. Yeah, they're not gonna go for that joke and I'm just gonna get my feelings hurt No matter how bad your dog. Oh, I got this joke. It's gonna kill You try that motherfucker at nine o'clock is at that two o'clock is gonna die Forget that new material start talking to them from the heart. They're fucked up in two How long did it take you guys to figure that out though? Years a long time years years that you're not going anywhere. So can you read an audience now? Like I think I can look up in jujitsu They give you a black belt and for every year you're a black belt every three years
Starting point is 00:31:04 They give you a red stripe and I always tell people honest honest honest to god I'm not as good as my technique is But I know the comedy game so well now 27 years, you know, I started watching dice I rented the halfway house room When I was in the halfway house that only the half. Okay at two rooms that were for rent for new years and nobody was I don't know. I'm gonna have a big party. You couldn't drink. You couldn't do nothing. Yeah So I said fuck it. Let me rent it. I got dice clay's tape. I was not doing stand-up then And I put the tape and new years and me I chated it. I got some chinese food and a pizza
Starting point is 00:31:42 And that's what we did on new years. We couldn't go on and watch dandruff dice clay But before I got on stage I watched Hours of stand-up like what once I watched the movie with Tom what's his name Tom Hanks? Okay. Yeah punch line punch line. Yeah, like that was it That was it my whole mind. Yeah dominated by stand-up I watched as much stand-up and I knew who I liked and who I didn't like and what styles you like That's what before you get on stage. That's what you did. Yeah, you did a same. Yeah
Starting point is 00:32:10 I hung out for a little while you watched these comics and you're like, I like Tom's the girl But then you see him and like there was a lot of times you tell me you went to see a comic and you went to see And one time he was really good, but the next three times he sucked a bag of dicks That's why I started I started learning from lee telling me little things From a fan perspective, right the same way you did you we were talking whatever So now when you get on stage, it's a lot easier. That's what I didn't have. Yeah Like we have to really acknowledge how lucky we are as comics because you had a family when you jumped in I didn't have a comedy family. Yeah, I always tell people that. Yeah, you're a comedy family now. I don't
Starting point is 00:32:51 Once I got to the store Is where I started picking up my family family. Yeah, I mean I picked a few guys up along the road like jerry roca Who I'm gonna have on a few weeks. Oh, isn't he terrific? He's terrific, but I wanted I wanted to tell his I think that The rogan explosion and the comedy explosion is making a lot of young comics very confused It's making young comics not see the work When we were kids when we were kids your mom the teacher used to go. I want to see the work I want to see 55 28 times 18. Come on. Yeah, if you just gave her a number that means you didn't do the work
Starting point is 00:33:29 She wants to see the one over the one the two over the two. Yeah, I don't think that people Really understand the cultures of this business Like you've been doing a how long for now a little over 11 years. Okay, and you were student of the game for how long 12 Okay, so that means obviously 23 of but you've been around it. Yeah, you know the ins and out you saw pitfalls Plus you saw people come And people go you saw stars get made. Yeah and stars But I saw you guys put the work and I saw you put the work and I saw joe rogan put the work and like people
Starting point is 00:34:06 Somebody wrote on my thing. Oh sherry shepherd's a comic now. I'm like, no, no sherry shepherd's been a comic for a long time Like that she was there when I first started at the comedy store. She was one of the hot Comics at the store putting the work in and then she got on the view and got into all that maybe The stand-up subsided for a minute, but she never stopped Like doing it now. She's doing it and somebody was like, oh Really now sherry shepherd's a comic. I'm like, no, she put the work and she was banging out up there when there was sabbages Yeah, because sherry shepherd's got big breasts Yes, she does those comics were going crazy. Oh, yeah sherry shepherd, but she was always a christian, you know
Starting point is 00:34:48 She was I can't I always love it all my heart kim tivar is all those girls. Yeah, those, you know Read the jones. They used to kill read the jones is still doing shows You know, uh, it takes a lot People have no idea how hard it is just to be a comedian Never mind a woman comic and again. I'm not being gender biased or whatever. It's tough. There's a lot of obstacles The road has to be The roughest thing For a woman unless you're self-confident. Yeah
Starting point is 00:35:19 You're it's really hard the road for a woman. I can see how hard it is for a guy I can see how hard it is for a guy with a family But for a woman, you know, I'm just you know, and nobody Ali Wong had a bit about it. Yeah, she doesn't particularly like going on the road You know, she gets picked up at a hotel by somebody she doesn't know and taking back by something She doesn't know and that's just a hotel room. Yeah. Yeah yourself and the hotel knows you're in that hotel room You know, I know I thought of that this weekend You know, I'm half a gangster myself and because I'm always looking for a fight
Starting point is 00:35:49 But in my head I couldn't we were at a little shitty hotel that I booked because Andrew let me do the road managing Which he'll probably never let me do again. Anyway, I booked this shitty hotel and I couldn't figure out how to turn the lights on So I made the guy at the front desk in the middle of nowhere Fort Smith, Arkansas come up in the room and show me and I was like, oh, yeah This is probably how it happens and then I thought I'm looking around for weapons now like why I put that I made this guy come in my room Andrew's three doors down, you know, he's not paying attention He doesn't know what the fuck could happen But then when he left I was like, then we get to the venue and you're talking about women on the road
Starting point is 00:36:27 They were like, I they go, who's the opening act? I go. I am they go. No, no Seriously, and I'm like, what? I'm like, no, I am they go. Oh, we thought you were Andrew's girlfriend I'm like, no, I was 15 years ago. But right now I'm gonna do some jokes and they're like, okay Do you do you need anything? I'm like, what do you mean? Do I need? No, I'm a comic I'll do it up good and then afterwards the guy was like suck at my dick like, oh my god and expect that And I'm like really like, why would you demean? Someone just because she's whatever like he was like, oh, I didn't think you could speak like what year is it for you? I really give I really give Andrew props
Starting point is 00:37:06 On his treatment of you like Amazing Oh my god running from him and then you would see you get into his car like you were on the fence for a while Should I suck his dick should I suck his dick you on the fence? If I was in his car was pleading don't please don't please stop hitting on me. Please stop And then you started dating him and he'll wear you down bro. Just ladies if you're listening He will get it if he wants it and uh, that's who he is And it's funny that he stayed your friend
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah, he's my best but he helps me with everything comic and He's guided you and that's what makes us Better comics when I see The viovans and I see the fucking I saw him four years ago. I've been back at the store four years. Mercy's five Mercy's five. So I'm back there five years or something like that. So 2014 four years And I had to get reevaluated, you know, I still remember Ari being a fucking phone guy Oh, yeah, I'm in Duncan running around and arguing with each other And now they're these fucking superstars. Don't you love seeing that though fucking love it. How can you love it?

I was like, I know your wife go back to your wife. Stop messing around This is not you. You're not this person Whatever he was really going through a divorce and I didn't believe it and he would come to the store and he would film us Do you remember that like he was making a reality show?

But that's the day andrew put the speaker system in was when he had the fight with poly In the original room or in the main in the original room Yeah, and rogan did something in the original because those speakers. I think blew the ones andrew bought But andrew took the old ones that had been there for 20 some years 25 years or something like that. He took them And he has them in his house, but they still work. They just weren't good enough

So I made an investment in myself That's what that's this whole thing when you're an artist is all about investments. Absolutely It's investing in yourself and how much you want to invest into some if you invest 50 percent of something You're gonna get 50 payback even less. Yeah 40 percent If you invest 110 percent, you'll get back to 10

He says it on stage you idiot What was the guy that used to hang up there that had muscles? And he said he was a karate guy and he used to take your finger. Very Very treachery Like I don't know if they're going in for women versus men And they're all there the whole guido crew is there. So bestest along's brother Frank. Oh, yeah, they're all there
Starting point is 01:08:35 And I walk in as I'm as I'm signing my name. They're all like, oh here comes the cuban kids Let's all go home.

So he's sitting there going I got this with chairs Like I don't even know why you guys are here He goes I'm friends with chairs Oh, that's funny and I went in there and just knocked them off their chair in the next day when they called me I'm like
Starting point is 01:09:08 I wonder who's the other Italian guy Because there's two of us that yeah, I don't know me and some other guy throw a guy into the ocean That was it. That was the scene. Get out of the car. Are we taking him out of a trunk? Yeah, I vaguely remember that. Yes. Yes And I I got that and they were fucking furious. I Well, see everybody's so sensitive about that shit like I I don't get bad if somebody gets booked as an Irish person But the fucking when I got the longest yard how many Italians know what main one wrote in who I'll tell you after the show Oh my god
Starting point is 01:09:40 I just got I just got hit up from one of his buddies So he wants to be on my podcast, of course if I wanted to be on his yeah I cornered him once and I said to him I saw the letter you wrote Adam Salem And he starts he started started really shit And I wasn't even violent. I just go I know I'm not mad at you but Jesus Christ really Like you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never told nobody just to let you know He was pale Because that's the way people are in this town
Starting point is 01:10:08 They're very but I would go to those auditions and look at their glares and all that shit And it would make me want to go in there and knock them out of the fucking play really Oh now watch my mother fucking smoke Well, you kill it. I'm I'm tear I feel terrible if I called Sharip and blew that for you because you would have been perfect on The sopranos I've been rewatching the sopranos right now like while fall asleep.

Yeah, so I still remember those lines It's a long story. We don't want to talk about it And Sharip is not even in that scene like it was so funny because you know what time?

Starting point is 01:11:12 She goes once you auditioned those days. They were really tough on you like you had to go Like sopranos was real deep. Yeah, spider-man two would have lines on it. So they were decoded So you couldn't steal the sheets. Yeah, a lot of people but to talk about an audition That that mean that's that's weird. Yeah, like you can't it's a it's it's sometimes it's very There's places where you go in and you better check what you write sign Yeah, because like now today when you book something They give you an extra sheet that you have to sign And then I want you fucking run on twitter look it. I get it. Yeah, but if you're just going in to read for it
