Everybody was around everybody was in rounders But back when they made rounders that was really before I took off, you know in my poker world How long have you been playing poker my dad taught me how to play poker when I was nine years old He taught me how to play poker which back then was a five-card draw a seven-card stud He taught me how to play blackjack and he taught me about horse racing And he said son the only way to follow a horse with a shovel don't bet on him, right? So I never went I went to the track a couple times had a great time But I've never been a horse better
Starting point is 00:04:15 You notice when you go to the track with all respect is some of the saddest looking people walking around the track They're moon knocking New Jersey dog. Yeah, they got a big head. Yeah It's crazy. So I started playing cash games with my brother Brian when I was 14 and During the summertime we play a lot of caddies from the local country clubs. Well, you know good money and I started making some money and Brian made a good amount of money And actually with the money he made in the poker games when he was 18 He took himself over to Europe for for a couple of months, you know and had a good time My dad was always, you know telling us about street knowledge, you know, we touched on it earlier, but
Starting point is 00:04:54 My dad was old breed. Sure. Your dad was like that. Just like your old breed. I'm a little bit old breed Raised but raising a kid back then was a lot different, you know Now with their faces are in the screens fortnight's causing issues with families divorces Everybody's on and on it needs to be managed totally differently and back then we're with all respect the kids are on the screens not Getting better at their communication skills. They're all into the Technology which is fantastic, but I think it's also causing some issues I think in 10 years you're gonna have a hard time finding something's gonna be able to walk in a room and close the deal Make a sale, you know, like a salesman, right?
Starting point is 00:05:29 Because communication skills are gonna be tight when you were a kid and I was a kid and I was riding my bike to baseball games I was playing baseball till five o'clock. I was going downtown five o'clock five o'clock. Well four o'clock I was up. I was out till nine me too. Okay. We're talking. Yeah, I had eight you stayed out till dinner Yeah, my mom would make me come up a lunchtime to be civilized just to slow my heartbeat down for 20 minutes You know I'm saying because by that time you already torturing somebody. It was a full day slate. Yeah, you know with football stick ball Johnny Ryder pony Hop peas and butter go get your mother Then walk to the corner and shoplift and then go up and throw eggs at mr.

Softy would come and then go upstairs eat dinner and then if you Did good at dinner your mom will let you go out as soon as long as you stayed in front of the house till nine o'clock Well, and you would take chances. You knew when she was going to shower So you thought we'll give you a chance to run around the corner and my whole thing is like I used to run across Broadway in New York City Right, and I look at my daughter. She's six. She didn't even run across fucking You know I'm saying here I am running my mother would say don't cross Broadway Yeah, and I would run across Broadway with my friends with no lights There was no and then no there was no there was no ten seconds or but you know take your time
Starting point is 00:06:48 Nothing you have it back then that you know it's we live in the world of stranger danger these days, right? And it's like there's no way you can let your kids run free like that It's it's a different world and it's a different time for raising But I thought I'm not saying that it's bad the way the kids being raised because we have to adjust the way technology goes But I think that they're not as being raised as tough as we were as kids But even tougher the generations before me every computer at the house has a timer in your house Yeah, yeah for her purposes my purposes my wife's purpose, right my timer is my back I Have an hour to sit and then I have to do something for an hour and I have to come back for an hour

She's got to be out by 9 If there's no school, I want her out of there by 9 burden that energy Nine in the morning. Yeah, right. I'm gonna have her work in the same way I did she's already doing chores for the mother good She's got a vacuum and clean and dust and she gets I don't know how much for your mother You know, there's little things just cuz the world's changing doesn't mean I have to change No, just cuz the world change doesn't mean I'm gonna take a text message.

I don't see Well, you know, it's like even in the dating world, right?
Starting point is 00:08:40 Like if your data if you date a girl who's under the age of 35, I'd say 30 35 Used to be that dating was I love the phone calls. I love Conversing on the phone is the greatest form of mental foreplay there is before you pick up your date I mean, you have men arrested in you. Maybe, you know, romancing him getting excited about the date I I can't get that across intense. No, I can't do that and I love the whole setup of it I mean, honestly, I don't have that many I sit down talk for an hour on the phone I have to leave you saying this the other night Third I worked brand this last week. Yeah, and Thursday I took leave with me
Starting point is 00:09:17 But yeah nights I drove by myself before I do a show. I enjoy myself, right before I do a show I like driving and no radio. Yeah, just digging into the coconut. I'm not even thinking about jokes I'm thinking about parts of my life. Mm-hmm sad things how I had that argument Bruce Buffer in 1984 we stood on talk, right? I think about all that shit, right, you know and On the way back I listen to the radio And on the way back that song came by my Michael Jackson remember the time Mm-hmm, and I was listening to the lyrics and he goes we'd be talking on the phone all night Mm-hmm, and I said to myself
Starting point is 00:09:55 Do people still? Do kids still I still remember I still remember the girl's name, but I would talk to her From midnight to six in the morning. Yeah, and then go to the seventh grade. Yeah, brother. Just hit me up Yeah, there's an actor in New York. I mean this girl would talk all I never fucked it If you want to I never even suck the titties, right? That's what you did back then, right? You talked for five right was on the phone, right that the other night one of these nights came on by the Eagles That was my song with this girl from Miami. Great song Natasha and Rebecca. They were twins Who you were kissing and I was like ten when that song came out at 75
Starting point is 00:10:35 I was 12 and then I remember that I started my first long-distance relationship, and I didn't know about long distance I'm picking up the phone down in 305 eight times a day. Yep in 1875 one day my mother came up with 24 pages of phone bills Oh through a mapping and said how are you expecting to pay for this bill? It was like an $800 phone bill. I used to have I had to give a four out of my bank account And work out four weeks for 10 I would work at the bar and we work I would get like 80 a week So she took 40 a week for 10 weeks. Yeah until my date was paid. We know back in 75
Starting point is 00:11:16 I mean the cell phones back. I graduated high school in 75 Jesus, right? Yeah, cuz I got four years on it, right for I graduated 82. I'm 61. How old are you 56? 19 I got five years. I'd be nice to your elders. Okay, so Thank you But um, you know going back then the telephones back then were like Michael Douglas and Wall Street walking on the beach You know with the big square things and I remember back when was the first cell phone It was that big big so does they have one of that's an Escobar and Narcos and they were fucking 20. That's what I'm talking about. Okay, but it also an Escobar
Starting point is 00:11:52 They have those what do you call those phones? Satellite phone satellite phones. Yeah, that's what they're using there But this thing was like big and used to sit in the carriage in the middle of the car We all excited when we got our cell phones, but my frigging cell phone bills back then. Yes worth a thousand plus You're paying huge amounts of time per minute back that has changed so much minute your plans were permitted huge Your plans are 600 minutes a month. You didn't talk much in those days. No, no, no real quick. Hello. Goodbye I gotta save on minutes and shit Then you there was something on your phone where you could check how many minutes you had for the month or a computer page on
Starting point is 00:12:29 Sprint would show you how many oh my god Holy shit, and now people like in their 20s and younger They hate they get anxiety about talking on the phone like they'll text but they don't talk on the phone I think that social anxiety along with ADD is rampant these days Why do you think social anxiety is so big? I I see it in a lot of I you know what I notice in kids When I used to walk in a room and I'd say to my dad even as a young kid My dad was a marine drill instructor Korea in World War two 13 years in the Marine Corps Probably has Michael my brother the legendary who you've worked with who by the way just got inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame
Starting point is 00:13:09 Yeah, he's a bad man. Yeah, he's great. It's awesome for him So I'd walk in a room and I'd say hi dad you go son Project your voice. Let them know you're in the room, right? Okay, dad. All right, and you know son look him in the eye shake their hands Look him in the eye when you talk to a man look him in the eye if he doesn't look you in the eye Something's wrong, right? So I mean kids do that. I notice the kids now they and I and again, I love children You know, I hope raised two boys Henry and Rupert. They're about to be 11 and once 14
Starting point is 00:13:40 It's a great experience in my life helping raise these two boys is their godfather their uncle and second father You know and I put a lot into it, but I'm noticing that kids look down. They don't look you in the eye They don't communicate they stand across from each other They're sitting on the couch like they're doing here and they're not looking each other and talking They're texting to each other, right? It's not teaching that in not I don't the proper term is intimacy, but just communication skills You know you walk in to get a job am I gonna hire you if you walk in my office looking at the floor Not making eye contact with me not making proper communication. Have you ever seen me with sunglasses on you? Yeah, you ever seen no, I never wait eight years. No, no, no, don't believe it. Why I came from, you know, not the way
Starting point is 00:14:25 Why what happened if you did they smack them off really? Yeah Really the time I grew up and nobody with sunglasses interesting no earrings no tattoo earrings I can understand nothing. Yeah, nothing Wow, so I grew up and you walk into a room with sunglasses somebody would smack them off your face And what did that change? What about right now? You go back there now to the after they tattooed and earringed and sunglasses The kids I hang up a still Straight straight like just a mentality was this way of being that was just like the brock I don't believe in glass like the Bronx tail when you come in my house You take those fucking things off. Well, unless you're fucking Steve McQueen. Yeah, huh?
Starting point is 00:15:04 Don't put Steve's fucking sunglasses on around me. You want to hear a quick Steve McQueen's sunglass story? Yeah, okay? One of the best at one of the best movies McQueen ever made where he people think he really did a true acting turn Because like you know, I was good friends with him really good friends for the last six years of his life I surfed in front of his house every day He was my neighbor a quarter mile away from me in Malibu and he had a great surf spot in front of his house When he made the Thomas crowned affair, right? Which he dressed up and all he wore these blue lens persole glasses Sunglasses which they make today. They're the Steve McQueen version. They fold right so his last wife Barbara Minty auctioned off a bunch of his
Starting point is 00:15:44 Materials and it was the sunglasses from the Thomas crown affair and they sold for $35,000. Okay? Nobody knows this but when you walked in his house, he had a little wicker basket by the front door There were four pair of those sunglasses in the wicker basket, right? So like Chad is his son is one of my best friends who has auctioned off a lot of material His jacket from bullet valued the one on the poster the great movie bullet valued at $800,000 Went on auction the auction went up to 725,000 and so they didn't sell it because that's the reserve it had to get 800,000 well Chad told me that
Starting point is 00:16:21 That's chance are we're not the original sunglasses from the sorry if anybody's listening to bought this I'm not trying to be in trouble, but it was probably not the original sunglasses his dad had a I remember myself He had a little wicker basket right there with all the glasses now I actually own the poster of the Thomas crown affair, which what do you remember the movie? Yes, and then they made it they remade it with with Pierce Brosnan who would great job Right good. There's a scene in that movie that that like when Sam Peckham pop made a movie called a wild bunch It changed the way violence percieves. Yes, tremendous movie with a great movie one of the hundred greatest movies of all time a story about men and honor even those were criminals but story I can recite every line from that film
Starting point is 00:17:01 I've seen it over 200 times getting back to For I lose track of what I'm saying. What was I at? Darn it you have the poster for the Thomas crown. Yeah, the Thomas crown affair So the scene in the Thomas crown affair when he and Fay done away or playing chess And if you remember how provocatively she would touch the chess pieces. This was big stuff back then This was very risque right then they kissed each other and the camera went 360 degrees around them as they kissed with open mouth Kisses that's the first open mouth kiss ever in Hollywood. That's what you know changed the art of kissing It's one of the at that time considered what you an erotic scene. Look up Thomas crown if I'm gonna guess when I met Steve in
Starting point is 00:17:41 74 for the first time he just got done doing or 73 the getaway just got done doing the getaway met him and Allen grow 68 I was gonna say yeah 68. So that's when that changed, you know, there's certain there's certain films Whether it's Orson Welles back, you know with one of his original movies. They're trendsetters, you know, Tarantino He changes film, you know, there's certainty in certain films It just changed the way films are made and that had one little aspect to it But the jacket in bullet the point is trying to make is I'm going back and forth on subjects here Steve gave me a jacket. That was a Brooks Brothers jacket. Steve gave me a jacket when I was a kid same jacket, right? But it wasn't the one worn in the movie. I
Starting point is 00:18:20 Wish I kept that jacket a little certificate of authenticity I don't know why being the big collector of memorabilia that I am today. I vintage movie posters you name it But that jacket probably even though he didn't wear it a movie be worth a hundred fifty two hundred thousand dollars today The fire suit in the movie Le Mans remember made the yeah Yeah The car the car curry something the fire suit he wore underneath his race suit did auction off for $750,000 the tag Heuer watch that he wore on his wrist also auction off for 750,000 he wore in
Starting point is 00:18:52 the Towing Inferno Red that the hat That had the fireman's hat. Yeah war went for like six hundred that I don't quote me. No, that's I remember reading it going Jesus this had to be ten years ago before I even knew you were involved with McQueen and anything's possible I've seen his stuff go. Yeah, that's how we're inferno fire hat and Something else that he did I remember reading went off big big before just came out with you do you take it home I Put it in your closet. They just
Starting point is 00:19:25 Pay people paid money for crazy things. There was just a lock of hair Marilyn Monroe's lock of hair a lock of hair just sold for sixteen thousand dollars 16,000 the original Documents signed by Jackie Robinson the baseball player who was the first afro-american black baseball player to ever be Play on a major league team the original document is now off being up for auction and it's valued at 36 million dollars What document they're putting it up for auction this is contract or something his first contract for his first major league baseball
Starting point is 00:20:06 Contract that the movie 52 Jackie Robinson, right? Yes. Yes, so or 42 Jackie Robinson They're starting it off 15 million base. They expect the document to sell for 36 million or more. I Love this stuff. I'm a big collector, you know When you go on the road when I'm at home, I don't watch that much TV Yeah, when I go on the road I put the TV on but I'll put Netflix on and put the earphones on I'm a fucking idiot and I watch them. I'm an idiot too. I do the same thing I'll watch like an old UFC and Watch so I'm watching or listening and and I do all that shit. What the fuck were you just talking about?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Jackie Robinson we're talking Jackie Robinson Steve McQueen collectibles. I Mean Bruce do you I? Was gonna ask what your most expensive thing is but have you been at an auction where something went like three four million dollars? Yeah, it's very common like the I have an original poster of the great movie. Everybody watches the Christmas called It's a wonderful life one of my favorite Favorite movies all Jimmy Stewart Donna Reed. What a fox. What a fox Donna Reed wasn't her. Hey, no, it's amazing It's a seven foot high poster and it's in three pieces now This the reason I collect a lot of vintage movie posters because they're like artwork. Yeah, I love them. They're cool
Starting point is 00:21:30 Yeah, my whole house is just you know, and I've got stuff involved because I have so much of this stuff But he it's it's Jimmy Stewart and he's holding Donna Reed over his head and her Feet are in the air and her pearls are dangling and they're smiling and it's it's a wonderful life, right? So I paid like four thousand dollars for this back in like nineteen ninety two And when they used to tear down when the movies were done running at the movie theaters There's the one sheet the single sheet and there's the three sheets Well, the three sheets they would just tear down the one sheets. They would roll up So this that's why if you got a three sheet
Starting point is 00:22:01 It's a very rare piece. So this piece is probably valued around 40 50,000 today or whatever but Christie's contacted me who's another big auction house because it's like one of less than six known So they wanted me to sell it. There's no way I'm selling it if I'm ever broke, right? And I'm homeless you're gonna see me with this damn poster underneath my arm because it means everything to me It motivates me. It's a wonderful life. You know, it's what's what we're all searching for, right? So Movie memorabilia Some of the biggest most expensive memorabilia. I collect a lot of guns and artifacts all World War two and before I don't hunt
Starting point is 00:22:37 I'm not a hunter Not saying there's any wrong with that if it's done correctly. There's I have issues with it in many cases, but I Do collect and I have a lot of World War two memorabilia and the most expensive stuff that's being sold is the German Military weaponry and artifacts for more or two. It's like some of the most expensive stuff You'll ever find going up in value sports cards. Oh don't put wax packs. Remember we were kid We collect the we'd open up. We get the gum we get the baseball cards all that kind of stuff, right? I've got an open wax packs from the 50s in the 60s I'd pay a thousand dollars for a piece of bubble gum right now. Well, you'll have to pay a thousand dollars for the damn pack
Starting point is 00:23:15 Usually harder to fuck. It was already broken break your teeth. That's what gave you the jaw strength you have today Yeah, was chewing on that fucking cheap bubble cheap bubble gum and jawbreakers. I'm jawbreakers like a mother. Oh, yeah big time big time so determines like I know like a baseball card or like Bob LaLingis sent me a picture of Julia serving and it's a signature that has the authorization all that stuff Yeah, but who determines the values like how do you know what like Tony Soprano the soprano 28th anniversary was on two weeks HBO right and I watched a couple episodes and he showed up with JFK's sailor hat Some hat. Yeah, who the fuck knows if JFK even put that on is there some fat guy in Boston right now giggling
Starting point is 00:24:03 With 80,000 there's a bank account a room for the Navy hats, you know, that's the problem But I have well unless I know you you're Steve McQueen's son. Yeah, he gave it to me. I'm in hard shape I can't stop doing blow Take this poster right then I'll buy it for me and maybe in 10 years when you get you get together I'll sell it back to you if it's a you know, but who determines like this day like a house. Oh, I know what I was talking about points one What's the name of his pawn stars pawns pawn stars? Let me tell you something. I'm not much into TV When I'm on the road I watch that show that you got it
Starting point is 00:24:43 Learned like a motherfucker about pricing on stuff. They're pretty well. They're pretty well set up You know, they're very well scripted and all to to a large extent, but you got pawn stars You've got antique road show only watch what stars that's only when I walk into the road house or road show Yeah, the father just died in point. Yeah, the father just died But that show you always learn you learn a lot and to answer your question about how do you determine the value? It's like how do you determine the value of a piece of real estate? The most common way is the comps right the house down the street sold. It's this thing comp So once an item sells I give you an example my UFC
Starting point is 00:25:23 232 cards the Amanda Nunes fight where she fought Chris cyborg, right? I Only done this 15 times 16 times where I sold off the cards and I do for animal military and children's charities I get partial proceeds in this case was make a wish foundation So I sold I auctioned off individual the cards instead of the set all the cards and the John Jones card So for around 150 each to 250 for the John Jones card roughly the Amanda Nunes card So for four thousand two hundred and seventy two dollars that piece of card determine that Buyers got it. No, no, not eBay. Oh, I didn't put a reserve the buyers gotten a bidding war over it
Starting point is 00:26:00 So now once the price is paid it sets the precedent the most that I've ever received for my cards as a set the Conor McGregor Diaz cards when the second time they fought so for five thousand dollars for the set Rhonda Rousey so for like thirty two hundred when she fought Holly Holmes, and then I sold sets for five hundred It's all about what the market will bear, but once the price is there. It sets a tone now There's a grading on cards called PSA you can take your sport card or your wax pack Send it into PSA grading. They encase it and they grade it one through ten, right? So here's an example of how that works. I bought two wax packs of 1961 fleer
Starting point is 00:26:44 basketball which is contains potentially the will be wilt Chamberlain rookie card Okay, and all we would love to open it and find a world Chamberlain rookie card Two years ago that pack sold last year that pack sold for $2,100 so already I've almost made a hundred percent of my money and I bought this thing four years ago last week It's sold for three thousand three hundred dollars Graded PSA seven they just and they're like gold bricks supply and demand I've seen the recessions happen and when I look at the artifacts I collect in the military of the movie posters and these cards They don't go down even the Wall Street Journal once said when we're in a recession some of the most valuable things
Starting point is 00:27:25 You can have to where to put your money is in Collectibles, but you got to know which ones to buy and you got to how to write now. You're thinking about authenticity You need what you call a coa which is a certificate of authorization Got to have that when you buy especially when you buy signature items The movie Melissa McCarthy came out in this year that she's nominated for best actress award for she plays a writer who is out of a job as far as a writer and Discoverers that she can write letters from old people in the past and falsify their signatures And she's becomes a forger of collectibles collecting money. This is a true story. This movie was made
Starting point is 00:28:03 She does a very good star turn from the comedic actress to dramatic actress Which I'm gonna say for you, too I find that most comedians whether you go back from Jack Lemon in the old days to Comedians that you know work that the road and her own front of audiences all the time to music musicians like David Bowie Mick Jagger when they get in film they do great jobs. Yeah, we do draw incredible. I'm a better drama guy Yeah, you're great. You know the drama look at Lady Gaga nominated for stars one. Okay. She's a singer. Yeah, but she had to act Right star turn performance share shares incredible nominated for an actress best actress was great fucking mask She was great a moonshark. She won the award for moonshark, right back then
Starting point is 00:28:43 You know, so It's just entering how interesting how the term my brother frames shit. Yeah, my brother in Jersey But if you don't him and I have a lot of conversations about jerseys, right? He's a big jersey guy again See away certificate of authenticity. We've talked about this. So when I went home last time Jay Bischetti sent me a picture of Bernardo Clemente. He got it from the museum So when I go to New York, I bring him all my stuff He frames it when he comes back out for comic-con He gives me my stuff because people send pictures and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:29:15 but years ago He got caught up in one of those Where he bought them from somebody who lied to him. Oh, he bought some false ones He fought what one false one and then he caught the guy and he got his money back. I got put in jail Yeah, the guy sure get arrested. Yeah, no, it's a serious fucking thing It's a huge business. I can just sit here with baseballs and sign them and go Mickey Mantle I hit Mickey Mantle signed strangely enough Mickey Mantle's autograph You used to be able to buy for like 60 bucks. He signed
Starting point is 00:29:46 Multitudes, you know a car shows a multitude of them but now his signatures were quite a lot of money and You got to be careful with these signatures if you don't storm right like I used and I've always lived at the beach and The salt air can just ruin those signatures. So you got to case them, right? You know, you got to make sure you care for them, right? But these are gold bricks and they're a great way to invest this word That's where my investment has been done a lot in a plane used to invest in comic books comic books are great Also, right. Oh, he used to be a big comic right here. This guy's got original spider-man's Gary
Starting point is 00:30:17 He's my buddy Gary. He's one of my best friends big collector of comic books and I know comic books You're talking have gone for hundreds of thousands. We used to win with kids Real quick before you do that. You know, one of the biggest collectors of comic books is who Nick was cage One of the biggest collectors of comic books Matter of fact, I think he's sold a rare Superman comic book for a huge amount of money It's when I was when I left Catholic school the kids I ran were collectors And we would go to this guy's house. I was telling Lee Well, there's Italian guys that lives with his mother in the basement
Starting point is 00:30:50 He would wake up at two his his comic book store was only open from three to six. Yep He was the laziest sack of shit in the world He'd come up with a roll bad breath and we just torment them and argue it Yeah, we were 12 year old fuck you Oh, can't be worth this and then when he would turn his back with Rob a spider-man and then bring it back and sell it to him Two days later. I saw you this. Yeah, and we would just torment them, but I got into it I got into the Fantastic Four. Yeah, one of my favorite and I got into the silver surfer Yeah, and I bought all of them. I had all of mice to go to shows
Starting point is 00:31:26 No, I sold them in the middle of a coffee Yeah, I was telling Lee we robbed the van one time. We were kids It was one of those comic book thing conventions, right and we were sitting in front of the house There was a van on Liberty Avenue for like a week and it was the summer of the t-shirt Were you pressed? Oh, you mean that the the old rock t-shirts they used to make no the old hot presses Oh, the hot presses, right? Right. We would go down to Jersey Shore There'd be a picture of Hitler and you go, let me put that on the t-shirt. You did. I did no I'm just saying Hitler you put a picture whatever you wanted
Starting point is 00:32:02 You waited for two minutes and the guy melted your shirt with an iron. That was all in the back of that van We basically emptied the van took a bus to comicville land They were like at hotels mariachi show. So you ripped this poor guy off you took his livelihood and you went to comic con It wasn't common. This was not comic. Not back then. This is 1975. I gotta do an appearance of comic con I've been a body. Oh, yeah, you make I've been a bite. I couldn't go. I want to go I want to do one so you and your brother would make a yeah, I'd be a lot of fun killing I can't sit. You know, you were talking about something before about social anxiety I grew up in a bar
Starting point is 00:32:42 You know, I do stand up for a living the whole thing I tell you what I cannot do And that's go out anymore We like go out at night and party or what are you talking about? No, those days are long But that's that because you're married with children. No, just something about when I'm around A lot of people I get uncomfortable Like the ship finally sailed this year when I had a little showtime I did the show for showtime and I went to the party
Starting point is 00:33:11 I took my wife on the date. I said, let's make it a date and we both looked at each other after three minutes I have been the last couple of years. I have gotten more and more not anti-social. I don't have social anxiety Just when I see a lot of people I got to go If you notice I stopped going to the UFC. Yeah, I haven't seen you in a while. I've cut them down because it just got too much It was too much for me And I feel bad last week a kid contacted me and they want to do a party for scott cunningham Okay, you know scott cunningham was one of the guys that did the page for us on facebook And then they overthrew him a bunch of people now there's a war scott cunningham is the nicest guy in the world
Starting point is 00:33:50 So this guy said, why don't we? You know have a party for scott cunningham and I go number one you can't set I live day to day buffer I don't have day to day. I don't know what i'm doing tomorrow, but I live I live What happens if somebody calls you tuesday and says you're doing them over for three months All that planning we did was not I live day to day guy. I don't know what i'm doing. I don't know what i'm doing thursday I don't know what i'm doing friday. I know i'll be busy, but I have no fucking idea I'll say one thing though I told you to call me for this show on a certain day and boom when you say you're gonna do something
Starting point is 00:34:20 Oh, no, this is my business. This is my business. Yeah, I do. I don't like to bother people or nothing But I have a set schedule. This is what you have to do And I don't know what it is. I had to tell this kid. I go listen. I appreciate what you're doing When the time is right. I'm gonna fly scott cunningham out of here and put him on the show When I know that I have a month off that i'm not gonna go anywhere, right? But until that time he goes, why don't we just get together and party and I go You obviously don't know me You obviously don't go to the comedy star on tuesdays. I have two spots on tuesdays, right?
Starting point is 00:34:55 So I have that little window. You want to talk to me? That's your window Yeah, come there because I go right from the stage straight to the car You know, I can understand this because I think Personally, I think people say, what is it like getting older and I think the biggest benefit to getting older is the knowledge that we keep absorbing and getting more knowledgeable about things But also the other thing about getting older is we get much more particular I mean speaking for myself in particular Whether it's, you know, picking someone to date or a business venture or whatever
Starting point is 00:35:24 A bit through so many as you have as all of us had like lee, how old are you 30? Okay, the only difference to you and me is 31 years of life experience, right? Otherwise, I don't consider myself any different. I just got 31 years of experience whatever I chose to experience in that 31 years But we've become more particular. You see the mistakes. Hopefully you see the mistakes before they happen Well, you see the move before it even evolved. Yeah, exactly Bill Hicks used to have a great joke. Mara wanted to make you lazy It must just make you realize that what you're gonna do ain't worth doing You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna go smoke this joint. Go see that fucking boss one more time. That's a good one
Starting point is 00:35:58 That's a great joke because it's very true My brother, he was a police officer for roughly 25 years, right? He had a good line too. He said I never broke up a fight at a bar because two guys just got done smoking a joint Never never broke up a fight between two guys just smoked a joint. No, no, you know, but it's so weird how I just uh I get high I'll go out You know, I gotta do comedy. I'm having a good time once it I see
Starting point is 00:36:27 More than eight people My fucking heart stops when I give blood I gotta give blood with the window's gotta be I gotta see a window I better hope I never get that way joey on a real step in the octagon Oh my god, oh my I fainted at two. I fainted. I fainted at uh, you fainted. I fainted at a fight night at the palm Really? Yeah, with me this had to be 15 years ago when they were still doing the little You ever see at the night at the pearl palm whatever the fuck that was I fainted I had Ralphie May over here
Starting point is 00:37:00 And I had a chick over here with the biggest Ralph Ralphie didn't pick you up. I'm sure no no I had the biggest fight. I fainted on Ralphie. I had two options Ralphie and I had a chick over here with gigantic fake tits soft spots on either way with the fucking uh The uh the doctor who gave her the tits hilarious So what happened was somebody got hit really bad right and when they wiped them They threw the towel in the towel land. I saw the towel hit the thing and blood come out of it You got blood anxiety. Oh my god. I fainted right there at the UFC fight What happens when they got to take your blood at the doctors? What do you do?
Starting point is 00:37:34 I put an iPod on and I looked the other way and I they they give me a special nurse Really? She takes my blood out with baby needles. Really I go to acupuncture. You overcome the needle fear I love acupuncture. I go to acupuncture every other week to overcome the needle fear interesting. I just have I don't go to acupuncture high No, actually you get a good acupuncture high after the acupuncture. Yeah, I don't go to acupuncture high because if the needle goes in the wrong way, I'll faint Interesting so I don't do nothing when it comes to blood and all that stuff
Starting point is 00:38:11 Joey, I know you're a tough son of a bitch from the early days. Were you like this when you got in a fight as a kid? Blood comes out It's not you you could bleed the depth. It's you. It's your blood. It's me. It's those smallest And I don't know when it's gonna happen I could cut my thumb open and nothing happened and then one day I could be in the shower Chaining and just a little thing and that'll get you I gotta get out of the shower and lay on the floor naked wet Wow, if you never know what it's gonna hit Scary never know what it's gonna hit. I've controlled it more now with like needles
Starting point is 00:38:45 When I go to the dock that I forced myself to give blood, you know, it's funny about phobias because like Obviously a lot of people suffer from various phobias. There's so many phobias out there. Steve McQueen had a phobia. He was scared of heights But you know what he used to do? He started flying airplanes to get over his fear of heights and he didn't just fly airplanes He flowed the he flew the old uh pick heron and stearman old airplanes that were the world war one double wing airplanes with the open cockpit So I used to go up to his uh before he passed away. He had his ranch up in san apala California it is home beach home malibu in the and the ranch up in san apala And he had an airplane hangar there. We have stored all his motorcycles and you know planes and toys big toy collector like buck rogers toys
Starting point is 00:39:26 A huge collector. That's one of the things we had in common. We would go to collectors gun shows together You know breakfast Guy never had his wallet on him. I had to pay for every damn breakfast for some reason. Steve McQueen never had his wallet on him Could crack me up and his son's the same way chat if you're listening, you know, you are so with that being said We went up there and he lands his plane And he chases a photographer away from like doing one of these out the side Chases him away, right?
Starting point is 00:39:55 And we have a good day together a nice thing and I was noticing that steve was losing weight, you know, and I didn't understand why and um A week later after we he said something to me and I remember as we drove away He just kept waving at us like it's the weirdest feeling I remember the scene just you know that scene you're driving away and Just kept waving. You know, I've known him for a good amount of time and seeing him consistently. We're really good friends and then A week later or maybe two weeks later the national inquire came out Steve McQueen cancer
Starting point is 00:40:26 Right, there's the picture Taken that day of him in the in the plane He chased a photographer off and sold the picture to the national inquire and they got the supposedly allegedly They gathered the story from wanting to stand back then from a What I heard in the inside again, I'm not to say it's a case That information was leaked out of cedar cyanide and then he went on his bout I think was six months later give or take that he passed They just released the film tom horn. That was his last film that came out after the film 100 was actually a very good film
Starting point is 00:40:56 Really good film It's really good. It's a western. It's a western. It's a really good one. It's good. It was good. It was good Tom horn. That's a whole other subject we can go into Um, and then he went through his treatments and he went down to mexico to get Enema's coffee enema's every kind of holistic possible treatment for this and I remember Walter Cronkite and the cbs news He they had a tape of him And the raspy voice of steve mcqueen thanking everybody for their thoughts
Starting point is 00:41:24 And he was gone a few days later if not within a week later They operated on him and they found like a 10 or 15 pound tumor inside He didn't survive the operation and that was that was the last time we heard from steve And he you know what he passed at the age of 50 When you think about he was 50 years old when he passed Amazing, huh? What year did he pass 1980? So he would be uh died right after my mother. Yeah 1980 You know i'll start at the age of 50 another one of my idols when I was a kid

Starting point is 00:57:43 That five to ten minutes that he spent with me as a kid and my brother brian had an effect on me Just like john wane that I remember for the rest of my life and this is one of the reasons I net you see me in shows. I never say no to an autograph I never say no to pictures as long as everybody's respectful But above all I never say no to children because the effect you can have on a kid Right, do you want that to be the most positive confirming experience? They can have when you had a chance to share your your presence with them, right? I always believe we should be role models. We're out there, you know, we have to get back
Starting point is 00:58:18 Those those are like two experiences that true effects on me True effects, but john wane and glint camel was behind him. No offense john wane Right now. Let me give you my other big idol I wish You ask yourself out of all the film stars and stuff What one or two would you love to have dinner with to sit down and spend an evening with right? You know what mine is? arrow flin I read his biography my wicked wicked ways. I grew up watching all his movies
Starting point is 00:58:47 I freaking loved that he was just such a star I love that he was tough and he would fight stuntmen and he would stood up for himself You know just a new zealand tough guy traveled the world Just an adventurer Just something about it man. Just there's no arrow flins today You know, there's no john wane's today When I was growing up, I'm I'm sorry if I sound old-fashioned, but I mean there's some exceptions. You know, they eaten dinner one night What's that? I remember sitting there eating dinner as a kid
Starting point is 00:59:15 And my hero crushed my hero Who because I grew up in a fucking immigrant fucking house and we were immigrants And I made a big deal. I go mile Let me not eat you. I want to watch batman She would be straight in the face because he goes batman's a faggot And I go, what are you talking about? She goes batman with mariconga. I said it She was writing to where's the cape and then she would sing me the batman song In spanish the adam west the adam west one got batman till I met him in a cool old batman
Starting point is 00:59:45 And I would say stop it. Stop it. So my superhero shit went out the window, right? You know, I went to I was raised I was very fortunate and had somebody like you in my life. My dad died when I was three But the guy who baptized me picked me up every saturday on 88th street took me to 42nd street to watch movies And I only seen two kid movies The love bug and the world's greatest athlete After that, it was all the velachi papers. He would just tell me not to tell my mother Don't say nothing that's back on the rating system, you know
Starting point is 01:00:19 No, there was no there was no rating. No rating system back then. It was known. It's only you paying Yeah, it was new york city in the 70s You know, they're doing under nobody else It's like do you remember when middle of midnight cowboy came out and it was rated x. Yeah Yeah, there was there was no remember in the 70s when you could just go. Hey, my father sent me to the store He wants a bottle of whiskey and a pack of cigarettes All right, they gave it to you until one day your father came in and the guy goes your son keeps coming in for cigarettes I don't smoke
Starting point is 01:00:49 You know I'm saying I don't drink. I don't drink the smoke. What the fuck are you talking about man? I would never it was a different country different. Yeah, it was a very different country So if you went to if you went to a rated x with your parent On 42nd as long as you covered the spread and the kid wasn't going to have a nightmare Take a minute. You know my my big rated x story Okay back and remember Santa Monica Boulevard when they the uh, okay, let's go back to boogie nights So you were raised all here. No pretty much. No, no from Philly to how old 15 on I moved out here from Philadelphia when I was 15 to Malibu, which was like culture shock, joey
Starting point is 01:01:23 Right. No, it's tremendous. It was culture. I never saw beautiful blonde girls like that running out of the beach No, no, you never saw a beach. I had that's not a beach in philadelphia. That's a No, no, yeah, you go in there to get the measles So I didn't even notice that delaware is number one fucking state for cancer Sure because philly and new jersey piss in the water and dump all this shit and it's and it ends in dover Oh, Jesus, whatever the fuck there's delaware there. Oh god. So you've been out here since you were 15 I came out here 15 and Malibu was a because I've heard stories to be different That malibu was like your neighbor was
Starting point is 01:01:58 Sinatra and this guy was this guy and up the corner lived this guy. Here's the thing People think oh you lived in malibu and nobody came up to the tmz then come up your bow. No, no It was a different world nobody came to your house for the camera and knock on your door If a camera went to steed mcqueen's house, he'd knock him out. Yeah, knock him out You know, I guess so many stories about that but listen 15 going out to malibu hormones flying All I want to do is lose my virginity and learn how to surf I learned how to surf first and then I became baywatch before baywatch and everything else followed its natural course But people think when you live in malibu you have to be rich. No, that's not true. That's not true
Starting point is 01:02:34 We were middle class I might and I wrote about on my book my family and I went broke I'm more than one occasion as a family, you know, we picked ourselves up I borrowed 75 dollars from my mom when I was 16 to go for a weekend skiing and mammoth That's all it took 75 dollars with all my friends. That was my share of the gas my share of the condo the lift Take us the whole bit. I didn't have it. I was like 16, right? I wasn't working actively at that time My mom said I don't have a son. She came to me two days later had to be 75 bucks I went on my trip had a great trip two weeks later I'm up at one in the morning over here my parents in the next room talking about they can't pay the
Starting point is 01:03:06 $575 a month rent we had for the house that that month. What are we going to do? My mother gave me 75 bucks to go and join myself I told myself I would never borrow money from my parents again And I'd start working started my first business making jewelry and high school started pulling down a thousand a month My parents needed money. I gave it to him. You know, that's the kind of thing I think kids needs to go through to learn the self-worth and the ability to take care of things and not be so Entitled and have everything given to them. I'm real big on that. Okay. What do we know if we don't know and we don't do it, right? So at different times Joey, I'm raising my daughter 70 style
Starting point is 01:03:40 I'm raising my daughter the same way my mother raised me. I'm very I live in an area here where All the answers unless you have a kid All the answers to your questions that you ask of what's going on in society you have no idea Because it's a different world out there. I go to the ymca. I take a swim at the ymca You know, many times I went to the ymca and saw the parents Sitting outside the pool texting and their kids in the pool with the nanny. That's horrible With the nanny. That's horrible all these white kids with mexican fucking nannies and their parents Sitting outside texting
Starting point is 01:04:18 Where's the bond with you and your child? The only bond that they give now is the money bond Everything is replaced by money. My daughter goes to a Self-defense school I know who the celebrity kids are there because their parents never show they dropped off by uber They're eight nines. You don't have a parent to come watch you Not one parent to come watch you. I'm a godfather. I picked my boys up from school A few times a week and I'm busier. I watched rogan last week. He was talking about Going to a restaurant and both parents were on their phones and the two kids both had ipad
Starting point is 01:04:54 And nobody was talking to one or not if that doesn't tell what we're trying to come across That is not gonna happen. I communicate. I uh, that's why I don't like to listen by nine years ago A commercial came on And the guy comes into like a sales room and he goes he starts giving out plane tickets And he goes, all right ladies and gentlemen the vacation's over No more emails. No more this shit. We're going back to better the belly sales This is a commercial for like copiers or something and I said

Starting point is 01:06:02 You and I touched on this before before I go into one thing at Malibu back then today you have to have money with malibu. It's just right back then the rich all lived at the beach Right the middle class we lived in the canyons, you know, we did whatever I was only a quarter mile from the beach and you know, McQueen was down right on the beach, whatever along with You name it that lived on that Spielberg and Sloan and you know, I go Dustin Hoffman on on on on on They're all they're all picking their fruit and feeling their bananas like everybody else in the market They put on their pants like we do they do everything else I don't get I don't get it crazy when I see celebrities
Starting point is 01:06:36 But there are a couple that have blown me away and that was obviously John Wayne obviously cash is clay and obviously the first time I met Steve McQueen Right and then it just we became friends and everything became cool and it just taught me a lot about that Listen one of Ali's daughters Layla the other one used to do comedy I didn't know that pictures up on the wall at the store And she came one night. She goes my father's coming to watch me As soon as I heard that I got my car and I left

I know I know all those things about Joey. Remember when we talked you were on my show last We both have we have we have a things to comment. We have one big thing in common. We both I I owned and ran telemarketing companies You know in my 20s and my 30s and you did the telemarketing too and we both talked about how much we learned From telemarketing back in those days, you know running boiler rooms with 100 salespeople and you know to all that type stuff in the experience We had Muhammad Ali next to my one of my offices in west L.A. used to be a school

No, nothing You know what he did for the kids when they came out of school? Magic tricks for like 10 15 minutes. This is Muhammad Ali today Entourage is I need this guy. I need that guy the bada bing bada boom, you know, it's like it's just different, Joey You know, I I'm not that guy I and I know I have this little little niche level compared to these big stars and everything
Starting point is 01:08:13 But I just like to keep it real. Joey. Just it's just more comfortable for me Well, we came from I came from a different place, you know, I came from a different place also where I'm not I'm not It takes a lot to fucking impress the shit out of me A lot the only guy I chased When I moved here, I was at Joe Rogan and it was super one day And at the light next to us was jame colburn In the Acura NSX
Starting point is 01:08:40 Love James Colburn and I go rogue and chase that motherfucker And Rogan's like I don't want to lose my license. I'm like chase that motherfucker We chase and then they just blew away from us then I'm working on our list with him I love that show. I did two episodes love that show talk to him a little bit Yeah, the second I did one episode, but I worked two days. Yeah. Yeah And the next day I brought up Bruce Lee and you know, he trained with him Yeah, he trained and so did McQueen. I had a I think Richard Pry was one of my big idols growing up like a lot of my friends
Starting point is 01:09:11 I still remember you bringing the albums over. I saw him at the comedy store Yeah, I saw him at the back of the back in the 70s. You can see everybody everybody Did you used to go to comedy store then also I When I was in high school I learned that the greatest date in the world is to take your girl to dinner and go to the comedy store because you comedians Closed up that deal For that night just by making her laugh girls love one thing more than anything along with many things they love
Starting point is 01:09:37 They love to laugh if you can make your girl laugh. It's old. It's over. Well, they're laughing. You slip your dick right He said I didn't Anyway, I would go to the comedy store back. I started going into the comedy store in 1975 Right. I think Missy opened it only a few years before that or so David Letterman was the host every night at the westwood comedy store, which was on westwood boulevard And I would go up and I used to one time that the uh The rain the fires came I've been through every fire in Malibu. It's just terrifically. I mean this last time I called you You called me. Thank you, joey. That's right. And you called make sure you were safe. Yeah
Starting point is 01:10:19 And I appreciate it but that I saw my home in Malibu. I'm now in another area by the beach and you know But I thank you so much. All right. That was so nice I lost believe me. It's horrific firemen Always firemen firemen firemen. They got tough fucking jobs in LA So when the when the fires hit and then the rains come the mudslides happen So one of the roads came down which closed off, you know, there's only one way in and out of Malibu from Santa Monica, right? Otherwise, you got to drive another hour all the way around So my offices were in Santa Monica and I could not get to Santa Monica
Starting point is 01:10:51 So my company at the time and I'm like a 21 year old kid, right? And you know, I own part of the company So I wound up living at the Hyatt house Which back then used to be called the riot house I live next to the comedy story. What year was this? This is going back. I'm going to call this at 19 To be safe. I'm going to call this at 1978 79 Okay, so I lived there for almost two months. You know what I did every night, joey? I went to the comedy store
Starting point is 01:11:21 I was there I'd say at least five out of seven nights Saw everybody robbing Williams, you name it. I got Jim Carrey at 18 You know just saying oh my god, this guy's going to be one of the biggest talents in the world Dice clay when he was sleeping on Missy's couch, you know I won't trade in those experiences for the world walking in and their Santana walking in and Led Zeblin walking out And these are the days when they throw the tv's for the windows, remember the almost famous days By the way, Bohemian Rhapsody one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Have you seen it yet?
Starting point is 01:11:49 Yeah, I got it at the house. It's incredible screen. It's something greatest movie. No, I'm excited because I just watched it five days ago It was damn good. It was damn it. I personally it was for today's standards Today's standards. Yeah, it was good. It was really great Malik. He's he's up for the award Yeah, he's getting great jobs. But anyway, that was the days back then, you know, it's just It's just different. I used to have um, I think I saw every concert that came in and out of the forum You'd name it. I saw it, you know, just one of the things I love when you were doing out here I was doing in new york. Yeah, okay. It was the same type. You're hitting danger field You're hitting no way back there. Never went to a comedy club. No, I was a master's degree
Starting point is 01:12:28 Garden type and motherfucker. Oh, I went to see Sinatra one time at radio city But it's like we were just talking about this earlier On a podcast last week about how there's no middle class like when I was a kid. I went to a nick game Yeah, you know, what are you doing tonight? Nothing, you know, sit at home like an asshole We're gonna half out. We can make it to a nick game. Right. Let's go. We'll miss the first 10 minutes Right, let's go to a nick game and we go watching and you're still home the game started 7 30 So you're home by 9 30 10, you know what I'm saying? So I grew up watching the nick game And it's so weird how families today cannot afford to go to a licking game
Starting point is 01:13:03 Do you know how a family of three cannot afford to go to a licking game add it up and it eats me up Alive between the parking the tickets the food is 300 bucks 400 bucks, you know So somebody a couple weeks ago. So that that type of shit burns me up that I had I love basketball growing up I love benard king. I love julia serving I loved all that shit, but I had dinner with julia serving one digit in utah. We were my brother. I had him announce the chicago bowls against the utah jazz in utah When michael jordan was sick as a dog throwing up before the game had six or seven points during the game
Starting point is 01:13:41 This is game five, right? They're down by like 15 points. I don't know exactly for those watching He comes out at halftime that one of the greatest single man performances I've seen in my life he scored like 42 points Won the game won the series had michael said off the game I'm on the floor with them celebrating the confetti's coming down Man, I'm telling you joey. It's not all about the paycheck. It's about these experiences that we learned from That's a million-dollar experience incredible
Starting point is 01:14:09 You know just to see that I'm going to tell you a story real quick. You touched on frank. I frank sinatra I had the pleasure of seeing him three times in concert Two of the times I saw him my dad used to be a boss gambler at the riviera hotel in vegas where they filmed the movie casino Now back in 72 to 75 Who was running vegas joey? Okay, our friends, you know what i'm saying It wasn't the bean counters and the corporations and all and the riviera was one of the hottest spots in the world Now back then when you look at a pit boss and you're a boss gambler my dad. I was I was playing
Starting point is 01:14:43 I can't get troubles. I was playing blackjack when I was 18 19 years old. Thanks to my dad and casinos, right? Cutting my teeth on the blackjack tables, right? My brother brian too Shecky green one of the greatest comedians ever come on. Do you like shecky green? Yeah, I love shecky green I'd seen him a million times for it, right? So we were we saw shecky green one night So we're in delmonico's, you know down in some lobsters courtesy of the riviera hotel because we didn't pay for anything, right? They didn't care if you gambled gambler or not. We got the frank sinatra suite dinners paid Just come have a good time. That's the way it was back then. It was different, right? so
Starting point is 01:15:18 My dad says well sons, you know, where do you want to go? I'd elvis presley's over at the hilton one of his last concert tours, right? The bloated elvis whatever, but I never saw elvis And so brian, I look at each other, you know, shecky green was really funny brian wasn't he? Let's go see shecky green again tonight My dad could have had his first row to elvis presley I would have had a chance to see the king elvis presley one time just to say I saw him one time I regret that to this day, joey. I regret that this. I saw barbara strice and lies manelli
Starting point is 01:15:46 I mean you name it frank sinatra. You do name it back then. It was just easy nowadays. It's ticotron by your ticket standing line That's not for me. I hate standing in line Personally this morning. I drove I had to go to gnc To get my little energy thing And I saw a bunch of people standing in front of eat I fucking opened my window yell them. It's a 10 30. There was 40 people waiting online for fucking eggs How retarded is that depression? Me no, it's not like the depression they're waiting in line for waiting online for eggs
Starting point is 01:16:19 Really over at eat. There's a little like hopefully no a little restaurant and it isn't bad It's one of your favorite little places. I know it's not one of my favorites. No, not at all It's a nice place. I'll go with my wife on a thursday. Okay after we drop the baby house sometimes But because the baby likes fucking denny's She likes the pancakes and the waiter at denny's they've been friends for years So I don't get to go to eat but my point being that It's one of those restaurants where people stand online to get breakfast on sundays. Yeah the brunch and nothing bothers me more Then gets on my nerves
Starting point is 01:16:51 And I wait and I was right there at the light Where you can beep at them and go what the fuck are you doing? And they just look at me and I just keep going in on the way back. I'd be Fucking dummies is eggs. Everybody got eggs. Yeah, and you're waiting online for those five I think if there was a steak from diablo or a lobster something Lobster from diablo lobster fra diablo one of my favorite dishes from the past How about pasta? You know my favorites is? Uh spaghetti puttanesca
Starting point is 01:17:19 Now you you know why they call puttanesca what that is lee. It's called. That's horse pasta, right? They used to get together and just put everything they could in the pot, right to make some good pasta It's called puttanesca very popular dishes. You're very popular olivey. Yeah, isn't it the olivey one? It's got a lot of olives to put to that. It's got the olives. No. Yeah, it's good to all that stuff. It's good How good are you at polka? Like if you had to rate somebody from one to ten, how good are you at polka now? You've been playing all these years. I'm gonna have lee do something for us. Okay, and you tell me how good I am lee
Starting point is 01:17:52 No, no, no. I want you to tell me. I'm I'm prorated. I can play. Are you prorated? I am and do you do all the stuff in vegas and stuff like that? Yeah, when I get time at the the world series of poker Is one that you know every poker point wants to play at I just got back from the bahamas Where poker stars uh flew me down and I played a 25 000 entry tournament You've had to pay 25 000 cash to enter But first prize is 5.1 million dollars Now I played the main event in vegas. I went out on I got out on day two
Starting point is 01:18:21 I my entry fee, you know, you put up the 25 grand, you know, you take the shot Right 5.1 million somebody wins joey. You're playing against It's fine. You know why? When I stand across and I have to fight somebody you know spar somebody whatever when I'm standing across and You know, I gotta maybe have an an ounce off or something like that Or if I'm standing across sitting across from you playing poker You bleed like I do you breathe like I do. I've got a heart. You've got a brain I'm not good. I try not to get intimidated. Sure. I have been in the past, but I know my skills
Starting point is 01:18:54 So I look at it like this everything I do in life comes down to three letters B s c stands for balls skill and confidence And if I'm lacking any one of those three qualities, I'm not going to sit down at the table But you also need that 20% luck factor. You've always got to have that 20% luck factor to win I played the top pros in the world series of poker. Last time I played the main event was about five years ago I was in the top 10% of chip leaders for five days. Joey 12 hours a day. You're playing poker, right? You make one mistake. You're gone. It's like fighting, you know, and there's an endurance level that goes with that
Starting point is 01:19:29 That which makes it kind of a sport or is a sport because it's mentally, you know, and physically wearing right You make one wrong mistake. You're knocked off just like you get knocked out in the octagon and The eye the feeling you get when you take somebody for an all in as they say and and you take their chips It's almost like knocking them out. You know, I'm not at the poker table to make friends I never lie in person. I never lie to you. Joey. I tell the truth all day long or I don't talk, right? But at the poker table, it's legal to lie
Starting point is 01:19:59 And I do what it takes to win And I want your chips. It's as simple as that. I'm going to tell them this dude do a year I try to do I used to be on full tilt's team. I was on full tilt poker to full tilt's poker's team Okay, if you remember that site remember back in the wild days the wild wild west when everybody was happening There was a black friday back then when the government, you know Kibosh full tilt poker two months before that happened the owners called me up and they said you're playing so well You know, I've got one a couple titles wants money
Starting point is 01:20:27 Of course with the ufc status, they go we're gonna I was what they call red pro They pay me like 35 hours an hour to play and they gave me all my rate back Which amount of the thousands you can make each month Then they said well, we're gonna put you in all the tv commercials We're gonna pay all your entry fees into the world series We negotiated a 70 30 cut meaning I get to keep 70 percent of the winnings Right and some of those entries are 10,000 5,000 two, you know, it adds up joey, right? So Do me a favor go to cardplayer.com
Starting point is 01:20:57 And you'll see a thing on the top says players and just put in my name There's no hiding it. I don't lie people walk up to you and say, hey, I won $5,000 last night playing poker or playing blackjack Well, that guy doesn't tell you about the 10 times he lost two or three right? Right? He just tells you when he won Okay, I have a program on my computer for 14 15 years now. No matter where I play poker blackjack football bed. I only bet on football. I never bet fights equal opportunity announcer I play poker. I bet football games and I play blackjack. I will tell you I can tell you everywhere I played the date I played where I played what I played How much I won how much I lost tally at the end of the month tally at the end of the year
Starting point is 01:21:38 Why because I'm real with myself. I treated like a business And I've only had two losing years in 15 years honest to god Cardplayer.com how much money does it say I have one on the pro circuit against the pros joey? Uh, I have top caches and recent caches. What's the total amount? Oh, here we go. Oh total winnings 338 814 say it so people understand it 338 thousand 814 dollars I can play I can now what's a rake real quick because I just okay. You saw molly's game. Yes. I saw one. I loved it
Starting point is 01:22:12 I played with those people joey I have And it got in the game got too big you can lose everything you have friggin owning your life in one night Guys sitting down playing two four hundred blinds putting quarter million dollars on the table You're 20 000 in somebody raises it to 80 000 you got a pair of kings and there's an ace on the board You're sweating balls. What do you do? It's pressure joey And you don't want to play beyond your means
Starting point is 01:22:36 So the rake what they meant in the rake was she said she did not rake the games until towards the end But any poker player including gary is a big big poker player. It's like You don't make the five million she made I think and you know, that's just not on tips I they do tip a lot. You'd be amazed how much money flies around these games So You know, you get the good looking girls to serve you get the gourmet chefs You put up the mans cave and you have a game So the rake is you go into a game and some of these games and they'll say because casinos rake the tables
Starting point is 01:23:07 That's how they make their money, right? But they take a short rake and these games they'll take like say five percent of the pot So let's say in one of these big games like molly's game where those hands as an example Could be anywhere from a twenty thousand dollar to a fifty thousand dollar hand Pull a five percent If you're playing 30 hands 20 30 hands an hour Do the math Look how much being raked off that table, right? That's how those kind of games as they depicted in the theater
Starting point is 01:23:37 That's what the rake is but if you do that You're a casino and that makes it illegal Right. So home games or should be no rake You pull out a five dollar like what we do in my home games You pull out a five dollar chip to add up over the night to pay for all the food you bought for the group Right. So everybody's cool about that, right? You do your games. You don't make a profit on your game I try to make profit by playing by playing Okay, that's where you know the house isn't making any money. No, it's you're not supposed to joey. That's illegal
