The 30th of January
Here we go
A little Durand Durand to get your Wednesday morning going
Bruce Buffer the price killer and your uncle Joey Diaz on a Wednesday morning
Here we go
You guys like to get up in free base
Get me jacked up
Bruce Buffer Joey Diaz fucking King of poker
How come you weren't around this?
You know what fuck did you not get even Lenny? 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
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
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?
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.
Martini and then fucking 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
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
I'm trying to write a book. That's my for my daughter. I get her out. There's a rule at the house. 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. No, you could text me to your face is green
You hate text. I won't you don't text. No, yeah, I think you even say it on your answering machine
Yeah, I don't even don't leave him and believe him. I don't give a fuck
I know the eight. I know the numbers if you text me and I don't know the number you listen
If you text me, you got no chance, right?
But if you text me, I don't know your number you really got no chance
You got no chance. You're just gonna burn a slow death. Yeah, I like people who just come up with a tech
And I don't even get the text. I won't get the text like go home. They come up on my iPad
Uh-huh. So unless I open up my iPad, you don't see him. I don't see
Well, you know, it's like even in the dating world, right?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
I had certain idols tell me your i tell me your film idols growing up. I'm gonna give you a couple of mine
Film idols growing up. Yeah

He was in the hollywood boulevard or something. He was yeah there
But in the house of wax which was one of his first movies with vinson price back in the 50s
His credits are charles buchinsky. It was before he changed to charles bronson
And i'm gonna tell you another funny story about charles bronson. You want to hear this one?
Yeah, this is this is great because charles bronson used to live in malibu where I grew up, right?
And uh, his wife he loved her to death. She passed away. I think from breast cancer

So my house my parents house where we live in track has caught fire, right?
So
My dad while it was being fixed he lived at the bed and breakfast in because my dad was a writer
He'd go up there and write

Let's let's preface this for the for your listeners. Okay, jam michael vincent was the original brad motherfucking there you go

Googly moogly god's gift
He did the first when I came from cube
But he did a movie called the world's greatest athlete from disney that with kurt russell as his coach
That put him on the map put him on the map put him on the map
Then he did the blue what else he'd do he did something else?
Well, he had the big tv show airwolf, but this is all after that
But early on the film something else he did it did my buddy john millius who did conan the barbarian who actually designed
The octagon he was the original designer of the octagon
They were going to put a moat around the octagon with deadly fish and all this that was john millius's mind working with the gracious back then
anyway
Big wednesday jam michael vincent
Gary bucey who was my neighbor that was his first movie. No, no, no, this is when this is when jam was really big
This would a big wednesday and did two big movies back to back
Okay, look him up on imdb did the mechanic and then he did something
He did a big whore
He did a big ensemble of stars in a horse race movie where they were racing. I forget the name of that
He's had a jam like a mess. It's got a big body. He's got a oh wait him at the stunt man with burt reynolds
That's what it was. Yes, because he got under burt reynolds for hopper hopper and hooper
Hooper hooper hooper
Same thing burt reynolds was getting old
He was the new guy on the block
And at the end burt reynolds showed him how to fuck it was done with the dog
Yep, remember they kept torturing the animal cruelty guy and burt did the jump. It's a larry's movie fucking
great movie great movie and then he did
Another movie that nobody knows about and you got to see the cast
A movie called defiance
defiance
It's jan michael vincent as a
Longshoreman living in the village in new york
It was the it was like one of the original death wishes kind of switch
He played he'd go in love with the latin girl. Yes, and he was protecting everybody in the neighborhood
The fucking guy that played the gang leader in there
Was one of the scariest gang leaders you let me see that guy. He had he was also in the movie with about gangs
But that came out with shorn penn
Uh and robert duval. What was that? They played the la pd officers hosla
Whatever they move. What is it? Where do you rhyme colors colors colors colors?
But there's a guy in that movie. Let me tell you who's the defiance menacing. All right, you got daniel yellow
In the beginning young young daniel yellow pauli walnuts and soprano young
The black guy is some star now young
Defiance is a movie that you'll never dream about. It's about a gang that terrorizes a neighborhood
And jan michael and his fucking jan's friends
Fuck them up jan michael vincent
To watch the mechanical the mechanic was on the urn
The old the new one the one with jason statham was very well
No, there you go. It's not no jan michael vincent. No, that was that was the that was the shit. That was no
No, no
You don't like jason statham
I love jason statham until he did the mechanic because he stepped on territory
He stepped on and then I wouldn't mind if he did it
But they took the main concept out of the movie
Charles bronson was just not a killer in that movie. He was a calculator
Calculate. Yeah killed you so it didn't look like it was a murder in the beginning. He blows up the guy with the books
Everything was he knew he knew he was susceptible to heart attacks
So he'd let firecrackers next to you so you would have to jump up in the air and you'd die from a heart attack
So when they redid it, I knew they were gonna miss out on the calculation part of the movie and then at the end
Jan michael gets in the car. Yeah
Bam, it's over and you wait there if you watch this movie today, you will hit me tomorrow and go joey
Go fuck yourself
I watched the first half hour in that movie and I fell asleep
Then you don't like movies fall asleep. You don't like movies because it's a 70s movie. So it's shot very slow
They made great very methodically. They made
Uh, sir pico. I'm on and on. There's so many great movies in 70s. Oh death wish
That's wish is one of the most that is one of the most brutal rape scenes. It's horrible
You will ever see the movie. Hope lang was the hit the wife hope lang hope lang and and and and yeah
What's his name was the original rapist
Greenberg or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's still the fucking rape. This is gonna sue me for saying
Oh, Jesus. I didn't say that. Uh, all right. So let me tell you about jan michael. You ready? You asked a question
No, when did you meet jan michael? I met jan michael when I was in high school at san amonica high school
I was in with my girlfriend nina michelson. I'll never forget
I could say names, of course. Yeah. So anyway, nina and I were in a jacuzzi
right and joanne
Jan married a woman who was our one of our good friends named joanne robinson
Right. So joanne comes in really one of the hotter girls in high school jan a good taste and then walks jan michael vincent
Now i'm a huge fan of his right and i'm in the jacuzzi. I was in jan michael vincent jumping in the jacuzzi and
Bottle champagne opens and we're all having a good time. That's when I first met him
Now, well, I was everybody wanted to, but I didn't want to sit there and watch that
You went away crying. I when I lived in malibu. There was a place called trancas
Trancas restaurant at the corner of trancas canyon road at the end of zoom of beach. It was the
Hot spot. It was a restaurant by day, but at night time on friday and saturday nights
There was a big area there. Um, where bands used to come play. We partied hard there
I would party with get this group. You ready for this group
My next door neighbor was jam. I was kidding was was uh, gary bucey
And this was the time gary bucey was nominated for the academy award for buddy holly. This is before the accident
This is before the accident. Yeah, he was my he lived right next door to me. Okay, we were next door
So this is when he was nominated for the buddy holly
Uh movie for best actor and then he went on to do big wednesday
So we'd party there with michael parks from then came bronson went under the tarantino films, you know, michael parks
Uh, david kerrardine, right?
Jam michael vincent gary bucey and a few other people that are mixed in there
I once got asked at the bar. I was sitting at the bar
And I can go so many stories of this, but there was a guy in a cowboy hat, right?
Good-looking guy, you know having to spawn talking and said hi. I worry, you know
Just having a couple drinks. He gets in this argument with this guy, right?
And he turns around and he goes look this guy gets on me
You back me up and you and you and because i'm gonna go for it here. You know that guy was
don johnson
young don johnson
I can't begin to tell you the personality came in and out of this place
You know, a lot of people don't know about don johnson and I just remember this don johnson
was like a dude that hung out with
Frank zappa
Don johnson. He's a big part here. He was like a young bruce willis back. Yes
He hung out with frank zappa
And he also hung out with the almond brothers
He partied with the fucking almond brothers like I read this thing about him that he even
contributed lyrics
To one of the almond brothers song they were getting high or something like that. He was he was dating somebody
He's got a very he was that guy that was dating somebody that was big
Then he got a boy and his dog and he just blew up after that. He married somebody married melanie griffith
But no before that he married like melanie's mother first. He do it do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He did some kinky shit
Well before I forget. Yeah
But good body of work. I'm don johnson, you know, miami bodies. Oh, yeah, he's great. I've always loved the tarantino films
He does great jobs. Yeah, I love don john. All right. Let's get back your original question about question about jan michael vinson
He took a bad turn. He had substance abuse issues. When did he take the turn like?
Chad mcqueen after steve died started producing movies and acting in movies
And he had jan michael vinson on the tail end of his career post-airwolf post everything
To star in this movie right before the movie was made jan had a bad car accident went right through the windshield cut up the beautiful face
He had you know, whatever
And he had abuse problems drugs and alcohol
um
And now if you pull up a picture, he's like 72 or 74
He's had to have his leg amputated due to I think diabetes
Take a look at him. Leave pull up a picture. Uh, okay, I
Jan jan. Oh no, jan michael vinson or don johnson. Uh, pull up jan michael vinson first
Hold on don johnson. He was right on don john. Oh, okay. Who'd be married first? Uh, he married melanie griffith
Melanie griffith first. Yeah, but he dated somebody when he was she was older than he was
If that's why the melanie griffin
Marriage was kinky. I'm because he dated a mother. She was young when she met him. He was like 16 or 18 years old
Well, yeah, they she dated
She was 15 when they first started living together. Yeah, but then they remarried in 89
You know, she married antonio, uh, uh, banderas, right, you know, he had open heart surgery a few years ago
Are they still together?
I know no, I don't think they're
So you pull up jan michael vinson you're not gonna believe this picture
But you're right, I saw him
Maybe 20 years ago. He had no teeth. I didn't see him physically. Somebody brought a picture of him up
Where's he living?
We had a he had a ranch north of uh, where I lived in malibu. There he is there. See this look at him young and look at him now
It's crazy
That was brad pit. You're right. That's the best way to put it. He was the original brad pit
Amputated and his leg got amputated for what reason I think because he developed
Diabetes he lost a limb to infection now. There you are
Oh my god
Lord bless his he's 12 years older than I am this poor guy
He's got a glass eye. I mean he's just a mess
That's really fucking sad. It's sad. It's really sad. I had the world
By the fingertips by the boy said the hardest thing ever did he told me he said he loved making the movies
But the hardest thing you did as you know, it's the tv's hard
You get a series you're on that damn set 12 16 hours a day. He goes. It's the hardest. He ever did was the airwolf series
You know, it's crazy
Going back all that
What a shame. Yeah, I mean, so yeah, I didn't know how to speak the language
So my original hero I loved dick van dyke
Dick van dyke was mine. That was how I learned how to speak english
He is I was watching dick van dyke because of his his ability to articulate and the way he would talk
He is one of the nicest manual ever. Yeah, I did a movie. Well, he was at least about two months ago
90 walking around. I think he still lives at the marina towers. Yeah, I should say that
But anyway in marina do I see him all the time
He just did a live tv show didn't he like mary poppins? Yeah, he did mary poppins. That's right. He did a scene in mary poppins
He was great. No, you mean the movie the original. Yeah, the scene. He was the card. No, no, no, no one see it
He's in the new one. Yeah, he's dancing around 90 dancing around good for him. He's a showman. You're talking about a yeah
You're talking about a great showman
I mean, listen, I don't mean to sound like I'm getting older and we always do that on my day of my day
Isn't it different today the types of talent?
That that we see today. I think that I think for the last 15 years when they give people an oscar
You could wipe your ass with that oscar
Like the guy from and I don't I'm not saying nothing bad about him. I'm not disrespecting him
What's the movie with the chick that beat out the husband?
Ex-husband a couple years back. He hurt locker hurt locker the guy that won the academy
Locker hurt lock. Yeah, that guy didn't have the class to win the academy. Was that ready? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a bin
They don't have what they don't have that movie star. Let me give you one like natra
Uh, that rat pack ish. No, it's different that cold burn. Let me let me let me let me say this
Movie star
It is thrown out so
cheaply today because
What I grew up to appreciate movie star. John Wayne is a movie star by the way
His new whiskey's gonna sponsor the podcast. He's a whiskey. I just got a bottle the other day the duke
The duke I gotta check it out. His son's coming out with a whiskey. I met him
I just got the bottle the other day. I was gonna try it out tonight. Maybe can I tell you my john Wayne story?
You met john Wayne. I met john. Did you meet all these motherfuckers in malibu? No, I met john wane in dowes, texas
I was 10 years old roughly and the movie true grit came out. Right Jesus christ
So back in those days they had premieres and you bought a ticket to the premier, right?
People were lined up around the block, you know the old days
So we're out of theater. My dad got us two tickets to the theater, right?
My brother and I were like 10 and 12 let's say 8 and 10
I don't know exactly I gotta go look I wrote about it in my book, but I I can't tell you exactly
So we're in the theater the theater's packed. We have the two end seats about two-thirds down, right?
Down comes john wane and the aisle beside my seat
We turn around and he looks like a giant, right a giant. It's john wane, right? He walks by i'm all shaking and I go
Hey duke, right?
He does like a little 180 he turns around and he goes
Hey little pilgrim my brothers and my john went
Are you kidding? He talked to us. He called me little pilgrim
I will never forget that the rest of my life
One other one I don't forget is in in when I was five and brian was seven
We were in philadelphia and this tall black man walked in we recognized him from sports
And we went and said hi to him just like he walked by I said hi
He turned around and spent five to ten minutes talking to us. You know what his name was?
Cassius clay
Not mahalman ali
Cassius clay
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
$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
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
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
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
In my world, I don't care if it's 2018 or 2019. I don't care about the technology
I'm the job. I'm the san francisco 49ers in 1981
Dallas is coming in here
And giving me two points. This is my house. Yeah, this is how I live my life
So if you want a tax you the tax all you want you want a tax you the tax all you want
I'm not gonna tax you back. I I don't go into those holes, but I know that I live with my life and
You missed a thousand dollar gig. Well, sorry
You didn't fucking call me, you know, I'm one of those guys that it's my playing field
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
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
Seriously because I would have a nervous breakdown
If I would talk to him he was no no, I know he was great. He was great
No entourage. 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
And I met Muhammad many times over the years
He will come to the school to pick up his kids, right? No entourage. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
So it's working a table. I like I said, I'm not a card guy. No, it's okay
I'm not a dice guy, but in molly's game. It's all right there people that don't understand I watch it
I found that I found that to be a really good movie. I thought it was true. She's great. I'm big fan
She's great. I watch all the movies on the point. She doesn't for me. Joe anything. Oh, she's so beautiful
Oh, I love red heads when she's on skis. I'm almost having a fucking other way go
She's fucking beautiful. What is your schedule looking like? What is your next? Um card game?
Tomorrow night, okay. Yeah, and you do one a month
Yeah, I try to do one a month, you know, I built a poker room in my house and bb o poker tables
So if you guys want to find a great place to make custom made poker tables bb o poker table is fantastic
They may be a beautiful table. They put an image of me jumping in the middle of the table and you know put like
Uh, just it's just beautiful and it's in my game room

Pull ten dollars a hand out of the thing to pay for the food, you know, there we go
I wind up I wind up going to the hole anyway. I spent more money than I
It costs a lot of money put on a nice game
But I've got some really good friends action players and it's a man came coming. It's great
You sit around with your friends some girls are really good players too. You know they come over and just
Have a good time especially when the Monday night football games or something's happening. It's just a good excuse to kick back

I wish I could do that. I can't even party when I was 54 now
I can't even do what I was doing two years ago. No, I stopped with the edibles
You said they were hurting your stomach. They wouldn't hurt my stomach. I just felt that
There was something going on. I didn't know what it was and I ended up finding I was lactose-solid
Oh, so there you go. I don't still but now I don't really want to see bds. You're doing the cbd

Listen, you go your your pharmacy. We all know that marijuana. Well, I've talked about on the podcast forever
Marijuana should be legalized them all for it whether I do it or not. That's that's it's not the case
I just believe it should be legalized the whole thing about cbds. I'm tired of nfl players
Getting addicted to opiates because they stuff them down their throat, right?
I think terrell davis from the from the broncos if I'm not mistaken just went public
And said if he had cbds, he would he would have a longer career in the nfl
I mean I my friend's mother suffers from ms
Couldn't walk
cbds two weeks later. She's walking joey. No, it's it's walking. It's phenomenal. It's phenomenal. It really is joe montana
Just made a major investment in a marijuana company
Right, that's going to be big in california. You know, this is the wild wild west people are getting in there
It's legal Tyson everybody the game is in the game is real. It's better for you
Then drinking those straight shots shots of bourbon and scotch. You and I both know that
Better feed them those anxiety pills

So he made one of me cowboy seroni

Now here's an example of collectibles. You remember round five the figures they made
The the other figurines that were made for the UFC called round five
There you go, joey. Now you're in my heart all the time. Oh my pleasure right there
So they made a thousand of those round five and when they first came out with the one
I know for mine you could buy it for like 39 bucks
You can't touch it on ebay for under 250 now. There's only a thousand of these these originally sold signed for like 79 39 unsigned
but
Not just mine, but the others because they're limited and made so well
