Oh
Shit
It's my little brother red band. What's happening? What's up, buddy? Ah, it's just one of those weeks
I figured we need a fucking chat with red band. Hell yeah, take it back to the fucking. Oh geez a fucking podcasting
How are you?
Yeah, it's doing okay. You know, it's been a rough couple weeks, but it's uh, I'm doing fine
What the fuck did you eat in England? Oh that gave you poisoning? I want to know this shit right now
I think it's the I think it was the oysters in Ireland. Don't get oysters in Ireland. Don't get
I don't think I'm going to get out. I love oysters
You do and I don't like them Rogan got me on because every time we used to always you'd always get oysters
I was always scared of them, but then I grew to love them and and I love like all the things that you get from oysters
I don't like an island or on the water like what is it? Yeah, it should be fine
But but but I think the place we we got the oysters that was like a tourist trap
It's like getting oysters at Hollywood bull Hollywood in Highland, you know, it's some kind of a pub
You know, like you don't you don't go there to get oysters, but uh, yeah, it was bad though
That was the worst food poisoning ever and we all got it
So how long do the last?
24 hours me Tony Hinchcliffe, Jeremiah Watkins
Joel I'm in is the art the Mexican drummer that we have him kill Tony didn't get it because he's Mexican
We think and then he had a stronger stronger stomach
Used to lizard meat and toenails. Yeah
Fucking eyeballs. Oh my god
You only got cramps, but it we then the morning after we ate
Or we had to go to Manchester
We had to go to the airport like 7 a.m. Or whatever it was and we all go to the lobby and I look at Tony and I look at Jeremiah
I'm like, dude, I've been puking all night both ends shitting puking
He's like, I can't even believe that I packed my suitcases to get out and Tony looks at me and goes
I just went from the bathroom like same shit Jeremiah's like I feel really really bad
And then we get into the cab and we're driving to the airport and then Tony's like stop stop stop
We're in the middle of this traffic jam highway and Tony runs out and pukes and then and then like five minutes later
I'm opening the door. I'm like stop and I'm and I'm like puking out the side of it
We're at the airport puking and shitting all three of us going crazy. I mean it was I think I should have been in the hospital
Like that bad of food poisoning like uncontrollable like one second
You're just puking and shitting you can't control anything. You said you were gonna run up to a cop at the airport. Yeah. Yeah, I was
After I finally checked my bag in and whatever I was like we had to get to the gate
We haven't gone through like that like the security or anything like I'm like this is gonna be the I'm gonna die
And at this airport
I see a cop and I'm just sweat and I'm about to pass out like I thought I was gonna faint
I see a cop and I'm like about to go. Hey, you know help me take me to the hospital
But I couldn't I didn't have enough energy and I was too scared. I just kept on walking and man
that airport
Situation was like an hour of just like I thought I thought that was that's where I got a plane with
Well, Tony gave me a bag like a ziploc bag and he goes here, you know just in case and I'm like alright
I put in my pocket and we we in my opinion
I don't think I think all of us should have went to the hospital
But we were just so like, you know, we have a show tonight in Manchester
We have to get on this plane and so I'm on the plane
I'm just like trying not to you can do anything suddenly in the middle of flight. I pull up that ziploc bag
I fill it to the rim. No, and and and luckily I had eight. I was trying to drink
Gatorades and types types stuff just so I had electrolytes and stuff. So when I puked it just smelled like strawberries
So I don't think anyone was like, oh, he's puking. It was more like what's going on over here
So I was like cowered in the corner like puking and then I just zipped it up put it in my in my coat
Because I didn't want anyone to know it luckily was only an hour flight or something like that like it go in the Vegas and
When we landed I had this bag of puke and I had to like go out and like find a trash can
There was no trash cans anywhere. So I had to hide my little bag of puke at the at the airport and like underneath these carts
But then we had a show that night all of us like we're dead like we were sleeping
Two minutes before we're supposed to be on the stage of this theater
We're all in the back laying on the floor of this dirty floor in this green room
and
we did the show and we're all just about to die and
Halfway through the show Tony finally goes. Yeah, just so you know, we're all about to die right now
Like like we just got over food poisoning
Luckily 12 hours later. We were in London and everything was fine
But man having food poisoning a while traveling be in a different country
See it was one of the worst that is my biggest fear. It was the worst biggest fear is getting sick on the road
Mm-hmm. I had a
You know, I got problems sleeping but because the sleep app in machine. I can't do the heavy-duty sedation pills nothing
So I went somewhere
It was when we were doing a podcast at 6 o'clock in the morning
My sleeping was all over the place
We were getting up at five two days a week and Thursday. I would fly out at five and
Then Friday you have radio
So it was like you your sleep patterns just fucked and I remember I did zanies in Chicago and you have to do
downtown Thursday and
Then Friday and Saturday you go to the club on the outside of Chicago close to Iraq rose month rose month and
Dad Friday, I was fine
And that night at the 7-Eleven when I went to get rolling papers. I bought Tom R. P. M's
They popped
Whatever it says one or two when they fucking went to bed and I got up in the middle of night and I had swam
At the hotel the day before what made me swim with no earplugs on
So the year the water got stuck in my fucking right ear and I'll never forget getting up and
Just falling straight down
And going thank God. There wasn't a table or a desk thank God
I fell and like I think I live on my suitcase broke the fall
And I could have a vertigo Wow
and that
Like the two scariest times I had in DC one time I was doing that testosterone all those guys
Joe and those guys like you get an older do the testosterone that was doing testosterone
Fucking I got on the plane and had a headache, but it wasn't just a regular headache. It was my neck
Goddamn this is one of those real headaches. I got the DC like took blood pressure medication and
Still I had that headache and I fucking did the show
went to
This will happen that Monday I went for a blood test
And I had DC that weekend
And that Friday I woke up with a headache and a doctor called that had a little message
Like oh, what the fuck is he calling me and I call him back. Oh, what's up? He goes? Where are you?
I don't mean DC he goes go to a hospital
They're gonna take blood out of you and he for them to take as much blood out of you as they can
Because you're developing more red blood cells than white ones that testosterone backfired on me something that happened
So I had to go to the fucking hospital. I
Never told no mother. I fainted like
Six times. Yeah, I remember that at all. I got back to the hotel room. I got a cab back. I
Drank a can of coke couple cans of coke and I got back to the
Hotel about 615 the first show was at eight
There's the first time and I have to cancel and I go hold on one second
Let me get a can of coke if the coke don't do it
Nothing will and that was the first time I had drank coke. I'm like three years. It was horrible
It was too fucking sweet. I drank the whole can of coke. I
Was back to normal. I did the two shows. There's a commercial for coke right there guys. Yeah
When you go get a blood test, what do they give you don't they give you a coke and like a Gatorade or a cookie
Yeah, cookie. I used to give plasma. I had I was so poor that I would get plasma once or twice a week or something like that
And I like you hate needles
I don't have any veins so they're always trying to have to like poke it a million times to find a vein
But I would give plasma and they would give us a check for like
$45 or 80 bucks or something like that and they would give it so I could buy marijuana and
Some money for beers that night and I would do that once or twice a week man. I don't miss those days
How low would it take?
Like an hour. I think because they when you get plasma what it does is it takes out your blood
You would hate this the most
It takes out your blood and it takes the plasma from the blood and it's like this machine's behind you
That's just spinning all your blood and then it puts the blood back in so it's like it
It's it's recent takes the plasma out of your blood, but you get your blood back type shit
It's it was not worth it and that's how broke I was though
Like I was doing shit like that when I was in college
But I don't know what it's gonna take over like today if you look I got a little cut over here
Mm-hmm. I want to shower when I didn't use shaving cream. I just use like fucking fungus soap
That's what I didn't want to use this shaving cream today. So I use like funger that that body
Whatever one you go to jujitsu. Yeah. Yeah, I use that and I shaved and I come out of the fucking shower
Just today one o'clock and I fucking went to wipe my face. It was bleeding and I was in front of the
Mirror and I had actually sit down
Had a sit down. Yeah, just the side of it just a little bit of blood just sit on just to get and I knew I was I
Don't even trust it because I never know what it's gonna hit
What about the time I on the Southwest and there was turbulence and I was in the bathroom and
I actually
There was turbulence and I was pissing
But the plane made me go forward
So I banged my head on the thing. No, but I'm not at all guys
It wasn't a big deal at all. But as I was washing my hands I go, what if the plane does it now
And I banged my head in that mirror. I'm gonna start bleeding. I fainted just
Like I barely made it back to the fucking Southwest flight seat in the middle like I had a hold on just the idea
That was the time I was with Gabriel nose guys
And I take my shirt off and my big tits were hanging and I'm sweating on the plane
It was when Southwest has facing
Seats, I think I took an edible too. That was when those
Tongue things are so with anxiety you listen yourself through it. Jesus Christ. What do you want to do?
Yeah, that's when those things those
Listerine strips or like a hundred milligram. We didn't I never tried those. They were stuck together
You put them in your wallet and they would get stuck together
So you didn't know whether you were eating two of them or 18 of them
And I put one in one morning on a flight and it just took off and that's what got it ignited was me
Thinking about hitting the glass not even hitting it. There was no blood involved just a thought guys
Like I said, I gotta go your blood on Monday, and it's been eating away at me Sunday. I'll be a mess
Sunday, I'll be a mess. That's why I'm going to see Whitney on Sunday. She's running her hour. How cool for Netflix
I'm gonna go to flappers and watch because I don't even want to think about it
That means I got to get up like at seven or seven thirty take a shower. We're not eat. I
Don't think you could even drink coffee. You could drink black coffee
With your blood pressure medication. I got a drive down there an empty stomach to give blood. That's torture
Give him blood on the full stomach. That's one thing. I could do that with my eyes closed
It's giving blood on an empty stomach eat some mushrooms
Just challenge yourself
I challenge myself enough all right, I don't have to challenge myself at the fucking doctor's office
You have no idea like everything about the doctor bothers me. I like him
When I have a doctor, I have to like the doctor and trust him the first couple times. I'm a little standoffish
I'm in love with a sleep apnea. I'm like listen. I ain't gonna fuck with you people if there's a needle involved
I don't even talk to you people like no
There's no needles involved. That's the only reason why I wouldn't got my sleep apnea treated at that time. I was really bad
Now I learned how to breathe. I
Bring the iPad. I don't get too high like before so there's no misunderstandings. I don't get high at all that morning
I don't get high at all
Well, speaking of like
Canceling things like what would make you guys cancel a show because I I could feel this cold coming on
When I supposed to leave on Friday, I was like, I can't cancel. I'm not gonna can't like if you guys ever have to cancel a show
No, I've always worked through it even with food poisoning even with flues. I've done it
It sucks. You should you should just start like, you know taking all the vitamin C and water and
Sleeping for the next three days. Well with me. It was always considering the situation. I
Always considered the situation like I think I got sick one new year's and had a cancel on job on the feature act
You know, you're the feature act. That's a complete different thing, you know, when you're sick, you could call me and go
I don't feel good tonight. And we get a feature act anywhere in 20 minutes, you know, the MCO stretch or something like that
for me now
If I'm coughing and
Whatever, I'm gonna give them a bad show. I'll cancel
But anything else I got to move forward a little detail under the temperature
Emotions, you know, think about Brody dying on a Friday every comic in America that we know how to perform that Friday night
Somehow you have to learn how to overcome that stuff like when something bad like that happens you have to rush to the stage
To you know, so it doesn't overpower you and that's what I had to do when Brody at that Friday. I mean every
That Friday I started feeling bad for myself for a second. Like what a second
Every other comic in America is going up on stage tonight. How do you think they feel sometimes in a fact?
I could just imagine you didn't you have like a ice house chronicles that night. Yeah, we had a ice house chronicles
There was also a lot of you know, just imagine being an audience member though that Friday going to see a show and all the comics
because I talked to a lot of comics like Esther that had to go up and
Perform and it was hard for all of them. I can't even imagine what the audience was like. What is going on here?
This is a weird night to be at a comedy club
But it was hard. I when I went up, I almost lost it a few times
It's been up and down for me ever since though
Like I'll be fine for three days and then out of nowhere just my whole day is ruined
Well, I spoke about grief on the podcast Sunday and how people grieve. We all grieve differently. I'll tell you what
It didn't bother me the first week. It didn't bother me the second week. It bothered me last week
Last week I had a little I had a couple different things going on in my life that I was hot about
And when I searched to see what the problem of my thing like both people cool with me now and
I think it was because of the Brody situation. I didn't know how to express myself
so I
Called it out on two different situations that were going on in my business aspect
I got into a little misunderstanding
And I think it was to do with Brody like it comes for me. It comes out in different ways
You know, that's why I said there's an anger issue involved
With grieving when there's a suicide involved
Because at one point you do get mad at that person somewhere along the line
It could be on the six months to the nine month a year later or it could be two years later
You know, even my mother who didn't commit suicide. I felt a little bit
Mad at her for like a year in it. It's like a year. I was like fuck that bitch
You know, how can she live and not take care of herself to have a heart, you know
But then you really just you
Empathize that person and then it goes away and then you accept it for this
It's weird like I you were talking and I had family members pass away
But up until a couple years ago, I didn't have friends pass away. I got the weird thing as an adult having friends
Pass away unexpectedly and it's
It really takes out of you like it's it's different
You know guys you watch the news everybody watches the news we read yahoo
And you look at things in life and you go wow, that's fucked up
Thank God that won't happen to me
And then one day you go to a concert in Vegas a country Western concert on a Sunday night and you're getting fucking shot at, you know
I mean, you have to appreciate all the moments and you always have to be prepared for that situation
You know like we live in a world now that we could be at a carnival and somebody starts shooting
We could be at a comedy show somebody starts shooting
We could be at a rouse and somebody starts shooting the same thing as with death
You know Chris Cornell died hung himself. It bothered us
We were fans of Chris Cornell and Soundgarden than the other kid hung himself and it bothered us because we were fans of what's that band?
Uh Lincoln Park Lincoln Park, but Brody was our backyard. That's one of us
I'm not talking about even like Robin Williams when Robin Williams died. He was a comedy store guy
But I saw I saw Robin once or twice in my life. I meant I'm at the start the improv with Rogan
Did I feel for it? Yeah, that's what it?
That's when it enlightened me and
Then Rudy Sargeau came on the podcast when we first started the podcast and he spoke about that with music with entertainment
Artist there's a thin line between
talent and mental health
There's a very very thin line and if there's a mental health issue and we start aggravating it with the drugs to
Take care of it, but what no if we're trying to take care of ourselves
With the drugs they give us and then went once you had alcohol and
Drugs to the mix God knows where you're gonna end up
You know God knows where you're gonna end up, you know, so
That's when once Brody did it
Now I'm concerned. I
Would I grew up in three of my like good friends committed suicide just growing up in high school and
Yeah, so I had I've had this like my whole life people killing it might be my personality, you know, but but
But no, no, I so but this was the first time out of all the people the first time where I
thought I had kind of a
A
Like I knew what was a problem where all the other times it just came out of the blue
They kill themselves had no like pre like I had no idea what was going to happen this time
It's like, oh, you know Brody suffers with you know
Mental issues, so I you know, I got a check on this guy and make sure he's okay
And the crazy thing about him is he was okay like recently he seemed like he was okay like normal and and
Where in the past every time he was having an issue he would be very
Yelly and and angry and and or he would have his sunglasses on and be very, you know sad and and this I saw him
A day before he you know passed and he was like, hey Brody. Hey Brian. How are everything seemed normal?
That's the thing that really drives me crazy is because like because we all you know
We all love him and we would all been there for him and we I didn't feel like we had any kind of warning at all
Just came out of nowhere. That's the part that that really digs into me that that
You know, he was suffering and he didn't let us know where he usually lets us know everything about his life
It was really different and it four o'clock on Thursday on Monday the day of the
We did the podcast Sunday night
We spoke about it for the first time on the podcast. I did not want to talk about the first two or three weeks just
There was too much out there. I didn't want to drag a dog into the podcast, but now it was time to acknowledge him
And you know, like I said Sunday would piss me off the most was his last ten minutes, you know
His last ten minutes. That's what got me that
None of us were there for him. We don't know if he went away in the morning
But we don't know if he decided to do this at night, you know
You and a couple other guys said they saw him the night before and he was fucked
So obviously, I don't think he did it that night. I think he woke up to a wall of shit and I
Read different things online that have been disturbing some people said he read the comments or a special
Yeah, I guess he was the latest thing he was upset is that his special which is on the Amazon and it really captured
the why we love Brody his late night spots at the comedy store and it the whole special felt like you were sitting at the
comedy store, you know in the main room at 1 a.m. on a Saturday or Friday and
There was a few comments of people that you know, just like hey, you know rented it
Oh, I don't know what's going on here, you know, like just typical normal white bread
comedy people
Saying well, I don't know what's going on. This guy seems like he but that's the crazy thing is is that when you first meet Brody
I think we all had the same kind of like whoa, this guy, you know at first it took you
Oh, Brody had a learning curve like you had to like get to know him to appreciate him when I first met him
I didn't even live here in California. Joe
This is like the first time I met you too
Joe and Doug was doing that the man show and Brody was the warm-up guy the audience warm-up guy
And I was living in Ohio and I was like, you know what? I want to fly out to LAC what it's like
and
Joe has the man show so he Joe invited me to be able to watch the man show like in the audience
so I flew out with a couple other people when the audience ate a bunch of edibles and
and
Brody was the audience warm-up guy and Brody was like clap clap
Like we were sitting like like third row or first row or something like that
And he was just like hey you right there clap and for three hours
He screamed at us like clap. I why are you not clapping blah blah blah doing hit all the stuff that I love him for now
But but when you're a Ohio guy and you have no idea what's going on and you're like I was like
Scared of him like he like I was like, why is this guy screaming at me? I'm trying to clap as much as I can and
That and then I think that I've met you too
You like you're on the show that famous thing where you popped out naked and stuff like that
But then when I came finally moved to LA
The first night I was at the comedy store Joe introduced me to Mitzi and I was like talking to Mitzi
And I remember hearing Brody in the background going yes, and I was like
I was like having a flashback like a Vietnam flashback. Oh, there's the guy that screamed at me all the time
but then after getting to know Brody now, I love all that shit about him now
I look back at him like oh my god. I didn't get it. I'm laughing, but I think people saw his special and
Same first reaction they had like why is this guy screaming at everyone? I don't get it one star Amazon
so Brody had been looking at all these comments and
Focusing on the negativity of him, and I think that's that was bugging him the last couple weeks of his life
That's the one thing that I have been hearing
It's uh, it was straight cuz I first saw him I
Thought cuz I'd heard about him on podcasts. I thought comedians were teasing him. I
Thought they were like kind of making fun of him a little bit behind his back
But the more that you met other people I
Could you could feel the love people had for Brody?
And I don't know I mean you guys knew him better than I did
Comments will get to me, but I just know you can't even read them. Do you think you would?
He he focused on all the negativity all the time
That was one of his things like even just one word like what what do you say? That's not positive
I went into his apartment last night
His family had gone through all his stuff and you know and his close friends and stuff were you know just going you know
going through his things they're donating a lot of his stuff, but
It was my first time actually being in his apartment
And it was a very interesting walking around and seeing what Brody looked at every single day and and one thing that was
almost adorable was
Everywhere you looked there was like positive messages just like like the ones you see at like
You know the
Target where it says like stay positive smile, you know, there's just like little things everywhere in his bathroom. It says, you know
Have a good day, and you know every single step you just had these positive messages
Then you had pictures of him everywhere. There was one picture that was just him
He says I'm five and it was just a picture of him
And next to his bed
He had has this big
What's that thing that the Mexicans hit a piñata a big cat piñata right next to his bed on and then he Larry Bird
on his walls and all these little trinkets and baseball toys and and
But everywhere you go in his house, there was just little signs that said smile positive energy, you know
All the things that he constantly says so
It really made me go wow
He really not only says that but lives that like he has to tell himself every day to smile positive energy and all that stuff
And when he doesn't that's the version I saw when I first met him, you know the screaming and the you know
He really had was he still screaming late night?
Yeah, yeah, you're still going. Yeah, you're still you're still doing this thing, you know
But it wasn't like it was like his act kind of thing. It wasn't the real screaming
Thing like the video I showed you earlier when we first started doing podcasts
It was called the Brody Stevens experiment and there was three of them only one's available right now
But the other two he asked me to take him down because he was going manic
That's the Brody that that when I first met him where he was screaming and everything was bothering him
He would hear a dog barking. Why is the dog barking? I can't concentrate in and just yelling and stuff
It was really interesting to watch
I just found those two episodes and it was really interesting to watch because I could tell
Something was not right with him and that after those episodes is when he checked in what year was that?
2013 11 I think that's when he had the episode. He had Zach producing his yeah
Yeah, show on HBO enjoy it. It was called. I think it was enjoy it was it and that that was right before
All that happened like literally like maybe a week before it happened where he got
Chucked in to the psych ward and and they started filming the show for enjoy it
What do you guys think because I think it to me
He was just very well known for his audience warm-up. I
Don't think he I think it kind of bothered him a little bit. Do you think he enjoyed the audience warm-up? I
Don't like I don't cuz someone I the last show I did with him
Someone brought him up as like the best audience one guy I've ever seen he kind of like it
Yeah, I don't think he doesn't like the title, but I think he liked doing it. He liked doing it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was very good. He was amazing. He was very very good
I met Brody in Seattle and at first I used to break his balls and call into the
Show
Public access show he go Diaz. I know it's you
To me and then
We did they found all those tapes by the way
He had all of them at his apartment which one's all the public access show
I told I told him like you got to digitize these you got to put these out
There were boxes each one labeled like episode one two three
So hopefully we get to see those someday so I
You know at the end the ground. It was a ball busters paradise. We're all open micers
We all ran in a pack me him Josh Gavin
There was a bunch of us that ran six seven deep and we detainer him Josh Wolf Tainer mark Madison
nice guys, you know, but
At first I didn't know how to take him and
Then I saw the other side of him. I
Saw that he was a sweet sweet guy
So he asked me for advice. I talked him into going to New York and we kept in touch very lightly
He was living in Brooklyn, you know and all this shit and
Then one that I'm in the coach and horses fucked up to the gills
I'm snorting and I'm there with the stripper and she had her little hooker friend with it
So I said hooker up with Brody showed up
Brody had the Volvo and we were so fucked up that he made me drive
He showed up at the comedy store and they were back to coach the horses and he made me drive
I was coked out of my mind and he had super unknown in the cassette deck
And I took it out because I wanted it for the car
I mean it was just in the next day. He called me up. Did you take my super unknown?
Yeah, fuck yeah, and all this shit. That was the one story I wanted you to say again
What was it with in Seattle or something where you kidnapped him in his own car
Oh, and I put him in the back of the car and I told him to shut the fuck up
That I could make it to get carbon an hour and a half and he didn't believe I was doing 90 and and he kept saying normal people
Don't live like
But where I saw like this whole time I just thought he was a kid
I loved him like I liked him, you know, and he was entertaining
But once we were on the best damn sport show I
Would get there the tape in the afternoon and those kids would get in there and it was the best warm-up
I had ever seen in my life because it was a warm-up that nobody warms up people like that
Everybody's very clean
The warm-up guy from Joe Rogan show news radio Joe Hayes
He used to call him captain date rate. Oh my god, because the guy wore a jacket. He was really creepy
He grabbed grandmother's hands and shit and then Bill Ma had KP Anderson
Kp still around, you know, I just bumped into him
KP and then there was another show I used to go to a CBS show and that warm-up was just horrific
But once you saw Brody do warm up
It was something that like you said people would look at me go
What the fuck is this? You don't want to laugh. Don't
You know, then he would tell you something obscure. I'm a model and where was your model Pakistan
Pakistan, you know and these people like is he being serious?
Like there was so many nights me and then John Cruck would just watch him do warm-up and how
Like Brody just and the people would be
Petrified
Petrified, you're right. I forgot all about that quality yet because he wasn't your traditional high
It's like seeing Holtzman lot like Brian Holtzman one of the funniest comedians in the world that no one knows about nobody knows about
And if you see him, you might be like what the same kind of reaction
But if you get it, you're seeing some of the best comedy you'll ever see
He was there the other night. Yeah, he's so beautiful
It really is Brody was the best part of the oddball tour that I went to go see really. Yeah. Oh, yeah
Oh, you got to see my oddball. Oh, yeah
And he was on the small stage and then for like for like the beginning part when no comedy was going on
And I went I went the year it was like Gaffigan Sarah Silverman
The Nerdist guy I'm blinking on his name right now. It doesn't matter and
Brody would go up the Brody went up there and my ex and I like he was
He'd always would talk about the whole time like the whole the rest of the show is just okay and
Brody it Brody killed it the whole time. It was awesome. So he was on the side stage
He hosted that but then he I think he warmed up the main stage to if I'm not from remembering correctly
Yeah, he was a different type of fucking breed man, and he just kept pounding it listen after he had the episode
in whatever I
Pulled him aside and I talked to him and said that we are I'm in my chair. I searched him for weapons
It's like the busters balls like we make sure you don't have a weapon on these shit and
Listen man
Looking at it all over again. That's the last call. I thought I was ever gonna get especially even now even after the show
I
knew I knew Brody had his
Little mental things, but so do a lot of people but I never expected them to do which one never never I think that's what
Took people, you know you to call me and said the guy by a car
God forbid or he was in a car accident. I get that I never understood this one type thing for Brody
Yeah, and like I said the last ten minutes if he knew how everybody felt there Monday night
If he knew how people had been feeling in the last three weeks, you know
It's it's just weird. It's just
But we move on like I said as comedians listen man. Well, you know, you were saying something before I
don't mean to be rude to you nothing like that, but
Things are gonna happen in your comedy career
There's only be one day that you're in fucking Poughkeepsie, New York about to go up and you're gonna get a call that a loved one is dead
And you can't quit you can't quit
It's gonna the feelings are over gonna overpower you. I was very fortunate
I was very, you know, it's a bittersweet feeling for me because in 1995 I had the silent war going on with my wife
And I would realize that after I would drop the baby off
My daughter at that time I
Would drive like two blocks down the road and mentally break down
I would cry and I'd be angry at myself and and this went on for about two months and
Wednesdays I would just go home get Chinese food delivered and I would just sit there. No TV
I would just sit there not write jokes. I would just sit there and then wait two hours in order cocaine
That was that was what I did on Wednesday nights
But I forced myself. I said I'm not doing this no more for me to become a really really good comic
I have to learn how to do comedy upset
So I forced myself to do, you know that Wednesday room I was talking about
Here that the guy was the Elvis impersonator with the spaghetti or something
That was the Wednesday night and there was club 56 on Wednesday night. So I would force myself
So yeah, I'm mad that I would I would look up at that guy with the Elvis suit on
Singing and I would go I can't believe I'm opening for this kind of Wednesday night
But at least I wasn't in my apartment. So what I would do was I would drop her off at seven
I would drive up maybe a mile and I would have a joint in the ashtray and I would smoke the joint
I would cry a little bit. I was dropping off my door
And I would smoke the joint and then I would force myself to go do kind of
First couple times I ate a bag of dick
But then after a while I started getting better at him better at him better and I had just worked an
Avenue that now cannot affect me again
If somebody close something close to me, I'm still
Able to do comedy because I've learned
How to shut it off. There was a lot of people who called me that day
After four o'clock I stopped taking calls that day
Because I knew that what the call was for so I just took the phone
Put it on off and put it in a charger and I went to the other room with Kate
I had my food in the bedroom
But I was outside the living room with Kate eating cheese and show like that room service
Because I didn't want to feel bad. I didn't want people to keep fucking reminding me like before eight o'clock
And then when I woke up Saturday had more I had called from 206
So there was a newspaper trying to call
Because they left a message so I got that Saturday morning
I was Seattle some want to know if you have any words for Brodie Stevens
We got your number from such-and-such. I was like, I'm not calling you like I don't
I'll deal with at the comedy store. So I didn't really when I got back Sunday was the first time
That I was fine with it and I called Josh Wolf and I could see that he
It was starting to hit him because we had pushed to the side. We said fuck it. Let's do comedy
Let's worry about these two shows and we'll worry about Brodie on the way back Sunday
And that's when on the plane right back was where I let it digest. I cried a little more. I went home
I called Josh and
Then I think I called you we all spoke and
That's it, you know, that was basically it
I'm sorry this had to happen to a bunch of young guys at the store
But once your young comics had a witnesses, but we all did this, you know
This happened in our backyard. This is not good
So now we have to be a little stronger as comics now. We know that this could happen again
But we can't let it happen again
You know Robin Williams and now
Brodie Stevens
So what can we do to not let this happen again?
This is why I said, you know, they don't want texting you got to call three people a week. Just pick three people
You know, I if you right now
We could take a sheet of paper and each of us could give it to one another
I could write three names here, but I could see doing that before Brodie Stevens. Oh, yeah
Hunter names I can name three names off the top of my head right now
Just from me being around the store in the comedy game and seeing people at different clubs
There's three people. I'm worried about more than I was worried about Brodie Stevens
So for this not now we have to make sure this doesn't happen again, right?
It's it's hard to
Constantly deal with this in the comedy community too. It seems like it's
Non-stop because we're such a large family and so tight, you know, and there's so many
It seems like comedians are drawn to the depression and sadness and you know, it that's here that
series
Piss me off a little bit. What did piss me off it?
Enlightened me a little bit, you know the dark side of comedy
And it was just a bunch of comics talking about this struggle with yeah, I watch you see it
I've had it on maybe last year or something like that
And I'd listen to what they had to say and I had a lot of
You know concerns
My wife goes to bed at 8 30 sometimes nine the baby goes to bed at 8 30
And some nights yeah, you go to a computer room and you put music on and you write jokes
So you look at your schedule and you tailor how you're gonna do it, but
At the same time
That's when that shit could happen
Go on YouTube look at one of your videos
Some guy calls you a fat fuck your waste of life, whatever I could see all that
transpiring into
But that's why I don't read the comments. I gave up reading comments four or five years ago on YouTube
And then when you look at just pick any song just pick a great band
And pick a song and go to it on YouTube. I was watching so it means the same last night
It's got six million views. Well, it's got four hundred eighty dislikes. So four hundred eighty thousand hate it
If they hate Led Zeppelin, they're gonna hate us. Yeah, you know, not that's what makes the world go round
It's not everybody's gonna love everything you do. I love when people make a comment on you know on Twitter to your Facebook
Sometimes you get upset because you're like, I'm trying to provide a service. I'm trying to help people out and you got a fucking
Break my balls, but somebody sometimes you gotta look at where that person's coming from. You don't know
He's in a basement. He's just fucking looking around for you to get attention
Fuck him. So it's better not even to pay attention to those things. They create doubt and
It's done by people if you had a life
You wouldn't have time to write a stupid comment if you understand humanity you wouldn't have time to there's a lot of shit
I don't like online
There's tons of shit. I don't like you don't see me fucking write negative comments
I just switch and just click the channel or don't watch it. That's it. But to put somebody down
for somebody trying
Go fuck yourself. Yeah, what do you do? What do you do? You're actually on here?
Well listening and looking to quit look at those YouTube comments from time to time on anybody whether it's Rogan
Look, you ever see Rogan's fucking Instagram
You want to fucking shoot him
like Rogan opposed something about a
Fight and they're talking a lot of shit that has nothing to do with the fight
Like, you know, they're in Stingy way and you're like, I feel bad for Joe
Like he is a guy that works hard. He's a smart guy. He reads fucking books
He does research for his podcast and you break his fucking balls too. Okay, then what kind of person are you?
You know, so 14 year old that quiz nose just pissed off at life
You know, that's what I always think of like when you read these negative comments like who's the person that's writing this
What kind of life do they live? It's just I feel sad if you had a life
You wouldn't have time to write exactly we're being negative for yeah
Are you that angry of a person and you don't know what type of day a person's happy?
Very scary. You don't know what that person's going through
You don't know what happened with his wife before he left the house
His wife hasn't sucked his dick because he doesn't have a job
You know, when you see these these careless fucking murders on the news
You're like a person died because a person was having a bad day or because you know, it's just sad. It's fucking very sad
mental health
You know, you look at fucking leave here at night and go on to that bridge over there
How many homeless people live over there tons now? There's a lot
See that have you fucking seen that at night and they're walking out in the street
Yeah, the other day the one guy was sweeping garbage onto the street
You go under the bridge on Chandler the bridge on every belly now. Yeah, I fucking the
Open mic over there. Yeah, you see that fucking bridge on Laurel Canyon. They got people living under there, you know
There's and I can listen. I know the difference between there's a big black dude that walks around here six six two ninety
What do you want to do every time I see him I give him a 20
I haven't seen him in about three weeks because I always say if me and my wife get the beef
I just sick fucking this guy. I talked to him a few times. He's an ex. He's an ex. Yeah, what was the
the conflict in late the 90s or
The one at the 9-11 that one Iraq or oh desert storm desert storm
He's one of those guys that walks around so I know you could kill a motherfucker. Yeah, so every time I see him
That's a good move man
He's walking past my block I'm gonna have to fight with two Puerto Ricans he's jumping in that fucking guy
Yeah, but no, I know the between mental health and fucking being a scumbag and I know the different
Mental health and being a fucking shit heel. There's a big fucking difference man, but we live with it. All I want is
The comics to heal correctly, you know, I want the comics to everybody's gonna heal from
This is gonna take a while. Yeah, I could feel it last at the store, you know that there was still remnants of it
So yeah, it's still going on. It's still going on and a lot of these young comics. That's their first major. Yes one, too
Yes, so
You know for something like Jimmy Schubert. He was here when fucking Kenison died, right? Like, you know, all those people like that
That's
You know, I was here for Marilyn. I was here for Freddie Soto
No, I miss Marilyn miss Marilyn too, I miss Freddie from time to time I put the store
You know Brody's gonna be a hard one, you know, I didn't see him as much as I talked to him
I would talk to Brody on the phone and then him and Bert Lee and Bert would tell me about
His videos at Starbucks around the corner. Oh, I was oh, I would run into him all the time and then he stopped going
unfortunately, but that's
that's one thing I'm very thankful for is
the podcast and the videos and
Yeah, we have a lot of content
That's one good thing, you know, it's cuz he did nothing but record himself and make sure you know
I have like all the Brody Nester podcast
I I have so many things to go back and watch because I I watched one the other day
And I was just like wow, I forgot all about this, you know, when you showed me that one before I didn't want to watch
I thought I was gonna fucking cry. Yeah, I don't want to watch it. It was a
It's I don't know. It's for me. It's very cuz I I came into this as a fan and it was I got I
Do regret and this is one thing that I'm trying to take from it is I I never got to see him
Do his late night at the main room. Oh, really? I didn't that's what I'm very regretful for that
So I but I got to do shows with him at like the second war
I did I did shows with him everywhere and that was with you at the ice house and
that was great, but
I'm looking one thing I'm trying to take from him is from this is to is to go out and
See the stuff not wait and I'll be like, I'll see that sometime like I like everyone got to see that and then I
Bummed out that I didn't get to go see him
With like the dude and that's one thing I learned. I didn't realize he didn't know how to play the drums. I
Forget who I was talking to now. He does. No, no, I'm pretty sure. I think it was either Josh Wolf was saying
One of the videos I was watching that he played it on the chairs
But he was supposed to be in a music video and they gave him a real set of drums. He's like, I don't know how to play these well
I mean
He probably I don't know because like when you have you have a whole drum kit in front of you
That's way different than like being able to like if you had like if he had a drum in front of him
He he could play drums. Oh
Yeah, I don't know about that but I used to love his his periscopes
He would play music and he would like zoom around his room a little bit for the whole time like he called like a junior jam
I just I love his little he would call like he had like an intern that was setting up
It was just him be no, it was just him saying it
He would tweet it. He'd be like the interns going to Starbucks for a coffee run coming
He would just be goofy the entire time what I loved it
one of the things that when I was at his apartment, they were
You know, like what should they donate or what should they get and he had its box of all his drum pads
And I was like, you know what? I don't want them just to throw this away
So I have all his little drum pads and his little drum that he would do with the little speaker that
Yeah, flashed and stuff like that. I think I'm gonna just hang it up at the studio or something like all his pads
I love that he would tour with it. He would bring it all the road. What did you get so you took the drums?
I have it like his little drum pads his little shakers
Oh, you know and all that stuff his little Bluetooth thing that he would play to because that's what I used to love
it's watching him just sit there and play drums and his thing and
I'm a little bouncy on a little medicine ball. Yeah, something I also I also have a lot of stuff that I think I'm very scared in and
And make it available to friends and family and
Fans like old set lists and and like like I have set lists from like two thousand like 20 years ago
You know or 15 years ago. I just says nipples beard scar, you know, like and you know, it's fun to see
like
Set lists or where he had scratched off. He's like too dirty or something like that
It's so adorable like looking through all this stuff and his little notes and stuff
So I'm ready try to get that out there for people to look at and download or whatever. It's very
Hard for me to comprehend
So it's very hard to explain to people that
This comedy life has been
Tremendous like this has just been tremendous of this
Comedy saved my life, you know comedy
Put a smile on my face comedy made me fall in love with something that
I knew was there, but I never knew I was capable of doing like I saw it in the movies and
All these things that I'm doing I wanted to do, you know, and now I got an opportunity to go
I don't really want to do movies no more, you know, unless it's the movie. I don't want to do this, but
You know last week I went to Houston
And I was fine, you know, I wasn't thinking about Brody. I was just
Looking forward to Monday. I was looking forward to a couple things and then something
life just stops you, you know, a lady came to the show and
She came young, you know, she goes do you remember me and you try to be nice or polite
I went out that Thursday and took some pictures
She goes I was at the show the night you took your dick out and chased Rogan
And it's just like I had forgotten that whole memory like that whole thing I've been I don't even think Joe and I have spoken about it
Were you in Houston with us that time? I don't feel like it
I know it was it was for fear factor and he had gone down there to promote his CD. So we worked Addison
Friday Saturday Sunday and then we rented a car and drove to Houston on Monday
Tuesday and Monday we went to a
Record store we bought clothes, you know, he bought me clothes
You know, you went to a record store with him and you picked up three CDs and he would pay for them his shit
So I picked up Freddie Prince live from Chicago
And some Red Fox album or something and me and him drove
To Houston at this time Joe did not get high
So it was the longest ride of my fucking life in those days. It wasn't like going to call
Let me just smoke this joint outside. Yeah, he would get mad at you. Yeah
So I was smoking cigarettes. He let me smoke him in the car with the window
That was cool. That was cool
He was having a good time. Yeah, he was first starting the headline like he was I think
News radio had just wrapped up and he still really wasn't into fear factor
But Warner Brothers had given them money to do an album and the album release party was in Houston
That's what it was
The album release party was at a sports bar
Warner Brothers did another sports bar and we were like, why would you do another sports bar instead of the last stop?
So we ended up going to the sports bar like eight people showed up
To get their CD signed or their album signed
It was me in the middle with my dick out and the cape on that one. Yeah, so that's why he took me with and
Then Tuesday, we did them open Mike Monday night in Houston
Which Houston was known for the best open Mike in the country eight to fucking
That laughs up the last time and then we went out. We went out with mongol and everybody outlaw Dave
DJ so we ended up in Lola's in
Montrose area a fucking bar that had no windows you go in there
You're like, hi, I like a makers mark and they're looking and go it's seven and seven night
That's it. We got seven and seven and Heineken's what's your choice? You didn't go in there in order to drink
They told you were you were drinking so you might go in there one of the fucking martini. They're like, no
It's gray. I'm not tonight walking grapefruit juice. I don't like grapefruit juice, but it's vodka night
You know then it's vodka night. Well, I don't like vodka. Well, we got fucking
But what's the beer they drink in Houston? Shiner. Shiner. Yeah, we got Shiner. That's it
So I took Joe there that was packed and you know in those days I can only hold out so long
So I waited for Joe to get drunk a little drunk
Which he was very hard to do in those days
Just one shot like where he wouldn't pay attention and I went and got a package
And I'm doing the package with outlaw Dave and I could tell Joe knows I'm fucking coked up
Me and outlaw there's got to be three other people that don't fucking coke around Joe
and it
Two or three in the morning outside of we decided he goes
What am I gonna do tomorrow night?
And I'm like, I don't know what do you want to do because this is so much fun. He goes fucking let's do a free show
So we left outlaw day
We went and got breakfast and outlawed to about four
Then we went back to our hotel rooms and then went back to radio date
And he told the city of Houston. He was doing a free show
He called Mark Babbit woke Mark Babbit up and said I'm doing radio get somebody down there to the
To the club to answer the phone to put the names on the list
And we did a free fucking show it's great and then Joe went up there and the
The whole last stop had the same thing that the comedy story does I could really get to you from the original room
Behind people don't know that I could go if I go in the back bar. There's a hallway back there
Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. You can slip into that stage
Yeah, and I would go behind that stage and open up the curtain naked and flip up and then close them back again
So I went into the back of the rip up the last stop
And I forgot that they had done improv there. I'm like Sunday nights was improv night
Some group were coming and they'd have
Whatever the fuck you call it like stunts. What do you call those props props props?
And they had like one of those King Tut fucking things. I took my shirt
And I put the King Tut helmet on and Joe was on stage and I'm like he's gonna get pissed
Really gonna get pissed
If I do this, so I waited towards the end of his set
And I fucking came out there fucking my dick out. He just looked and looked again
I'm like give me a hug. He's like get the fuck out of here
And somebody taped it the place went fucking nuts. The place went bananas
I mean, no, I remember looking to the back of the last stop remember there was a long row
In the last stop you all had to sit together if you took the last table. It was a great seat
It was just a row where 60 people shot sat
It was like going to church without the middle. So it was just a long thing with tables
And I'll never forget people standing back there clapping like I'm looking back there
And I'm naked from the pants down and people were just on their cushions clapping
I was like a holy shit and that lady showed me the picture and said that was the night. Wow
That had to be 18 fucking years ago and then you came on board and then I started recording all those nights
Joe was traveling with six motherfuckers at his time
You remember being in San Jose and Denny would show up with half the jujitsu school
Oh, yeah, and him and Eddie Bravo would take their shoes off and jujitsu and San Jose
What about the time with the tempi? Oh, and they had the fight off the fight off. Yeah, what don't you have no idea?
You guys have no idea and Adam was there at the time. He was a way
The gentleman in the county store was a waiter at the tempi and Bob and there was a guy that was like a purple belt one night
So him and Tate went at it first Indian guy not like seven like good guys. Nobody was thrown punches
But in those day like a tournament. No in the middle of the lobby
Every fucking night every fucking night with Eddie Bravo those days so Denny would come Denny was 16
15 and we were snickering into
Out the into cops. Yeah upstairs
Remember when we ate so many chicken things that the people in cops told us no more and I went off. Oh, that's right
They had the best
Chicken tenders you ever had so we
Are it was three in order we put in the re
Really quit we told Joe Rogan
We're getting the fuck out of here. This motherfucker won't give us no more chicken strip. He's like, all right. All right. All right
I was only playing with you guys. Oh my god, Johnny Apple Cedar, whatever. What was his name Johnny Apple Cedar?
No, what was the guy? Okay
Then there was Tom Sawyer. I'm sorry. I had to crush on Joe
That you went downstairs the one day and he showed up with a two-seater
PF cruiser. Oh, yeah
Nobody remembers that he always wanted to be alone with Joe
So Joe would always bring you and Duncan remember the time you and Duncan had it out. Oh, yeah
Duncan stabbed me with a pen you through the you through the fucking hat Adam
You came down to you like thank you for fucking taking me to radio
Also the hat flies across the table and shit fucking tremendous holy shit
What about the whole time we stayed out when they were supposed to be like a ship? Oh, yeah, I still stay there
I still stay there, too. I like I stayed there a couple years ago. It's a good Chowder place above the Chowder place
Yeah, the blue
Remember when they found the body across the street in a suitcase in the water in the ocean we're staying there
Found a person they'll chopped up and I woke up and there was cops everywhere. I couldn't go outside and smoke a joint
I thought they were there for me
We had a run where what about the time we were in the hotel room and the hotel the kid sprayed the fucking spray
Oh, the fire extinguisher. Yeah, we're all gonna die you and Rogan. Yeah, Rogan run a bit about that
Yeah, that's right. That was the worst because I remember I kept look the alarm was going off and I get up
I'm like if you think I
I'm leaving this hotel
You're fucking crazy
What if there's really a fire it seemed like a real fire too because there was so much smoke
Because I opened up the hallway guys and I saw people running and I just slammed the door and I'm like
If this is a false alarm, I'm gonna beat the fuck out of
So finally it was like a 445 my flight was like at seven anyway
So I'm like god damn it
And I remember looking out the window and seeing people out there. I'm like, oh shit
This might be fucking serious. Yeah, so I packed up my sleep-back machine. I was leaving the morning anyway
You guys were staying. That's why I wouldn't work Sundays and Joe would get
So smart so ahead of the time you were
You made that rule for most comics nowadays like yeah, no, there's no reason to work on Sunday leave me the fuck alone
So that's Saturday night I
Look out and there's people downstairs. I open up the door and people kill themselves to run down the stairs
Oh, yeah, I was about to throw myself out a window and just start punching a long people
I'm sitting there going, you know what I am not in the fucking mood in the pack
But once I looked out again, I go, this is serious that could be a fire
But I didn't smell no smoke so I packed up my sleep apnea bag
I took my little bag and I went to the elevator and pressed it the elevator opens right up
That's right
Because there was a spiral one of the spiral staircase like every like 12 floors
Why are these people running when you can take the elevator?
I would love to see the face on the people in the lobby when the elevator door
Just looked at me like because they made you go outside. Yeah
So now I come on I don't see none of my friends
But I look up and I see Rogan Segura and you on the street corner
Look it up and they're like, what a fuck have you been on the elevator?
Yeah, I had a pack wasn't there and there was something behind like a lady a stripper or something
Remember there was like behind us the woman came out or something happened. It was like a hooker hooker
There was hookers and there was a hooker Chinese hooker place. Yeah, right
We used to fucking go on the road with six of us I still remember getting the big table at Papadose
We would go to Austin
Hotels are across the street. We just all walkable tree. That's the best what we have is Houston
Yeah, that's what the picture means like this in the pool with Ari with Ari took a meme
No, no, that's in that's Austin. No, that's Phoenix that that weird resort with the waterfalls and Jenna Jamison and all that stuff
Remember they had that was the other one
That was the crazy one about the rocks. Yeah all the rocks that you're like going on vacation or something
That was move your bed. That was I don't like we couldn't fucking go away. Yeah, you had a walk before uber
Yeah, you had a walk down the road with snakes crossing. Yeah, there was no place to get like water
I remember going to the fucking lady and going. Hi. Where's their restaurant around here?
And they're like you gotta walk down the dirt road. You gotta wait and take a car or call a cab or something
I'm like fuck that. I'm gonna walk. She's like you better not
There's where this rattlesnake. Jesus. Yeah, I didn't like that place at all
the brute the boot the boots the
Brutes but the but the butte. Yeah, the butte's
Yes, beautiful town. Yeah, but it's just so away from everything. Yeah, so I don't know if the lady was messing with me
I don't think she said I'll follow you. I wouldn't walk out there
And I'm like why not she goes because it's rattlesnake season or something
Yeah, it was it was and then we had a way for Joe to wake up and he had the rental car
Yeah, and then we'd all go down, you know, if you really think about on paper like the thing with me and Rogan was probably
99 2000
and
The stuff with you you said had to be 2004
Really, yeah
So it was before the longest yard and we were hanging out
Yeah, and we would do all that shit when you were texting me. Yeah, and I would chase you around. Yeah
And then Atlanta is what we called Duncan
The Atlanta punchline is where we called Duncan and made the tape of me accused him. Oh, yeah
Yeah, that worship is really bad outside satanic. It was really you humid there. That's right
I hate that so much. I hate that clip because Monday morning
We had a drive during fucking rush hour and it was like an hour and a half drive to the fucking airport because it says the Atlanta punchline
But it's really not Atlanta. Yeah, it's like an hour outside of Atlanta
Oh, no, so you would have to drive a fucking hour on Monday morning. That's when I stopped off. Listen
Mondays I just figured out that's when you were yelling at Rogan. Remember the video of you you screaming at Rogan. I
Think that was Texas. Oh, we had the van. Okay, when he had the white van
He insisted on fucking renting a car
Every fucking time we went and I would say to him Joe, you don't know where you're fucking going
Why do you rent a car? And he would get that Siri whatever that ladies name is
Yes, it was it was like first GPS's
And both of you's would be driving me fucking crazy with the GPS
It really wasn't any good make a left in 3,000 seconds
Right and fucking 22 minutes and I'm like guys knock it off with the rent
We're done on fucking rental on Sunday
We had to bring back the rental car and fucking walk with all that fucking luggage
To the I remember one day he parked far away to break my balls
You know, he was my brother and I couldn't say nothing in front of people but I would call him up in this hotel room
You know next time you make me walk that far with fucking luggage
I will flatten those fucking tires with a knife. We will fucking be hoofing it back to the airport
You understand me you park in front of the fucking hotel from now on and let us out with our luggage
No, he made him in tight with Johnny shape. We're gonna be
We're gonna park two miles from the hotel and walk with our fucking luggage in the heat of the fucking summer
You're out of your mind, man. Johnny shape, you know, it just it just looking at those pictures and talking them out of this
There's a video I made a long time ago when we were in Philadelphia
me you
Joe and I think maybe Tate
Oh, Ari. No, Ari. I think it's called if you type in Joe show, Philadelphia
But that had the GPS I put the GPS in there for you at the beginning of it because it's like up ahead turn left
I bet you like it because it was all about that same. It used to fucking drive me crazy
All that shit drove me fucking crazy the computers the same cell phones. Oh, yeah, you used to hate cell phones
Texting I remember before remember when I used to have the laptop up at Cobbs, and we're okay
Yeah, you like grab me like no turn that thing turn that fucking thing off
You know that you know when that happened that was my 90th day off cocaine. Yeah, I quit cocaine that November 15th
And we went to Cobbs at the beginning of the year and I didn't like being on like I was raised
That if the phones on the hook they could even hear you
Mm-hmm
So in those days you guys would open that fucking computer up and I was petrified of it
Petrified that the CIA was watching me along with the cocaine and all that shit
And I told him one day go Brian closed that fucking computer and Brian would put the camera on me
Rogan came up Rogan had to pay for the fucking computer. He didn't talk to me for three weeks
I
Tell you what the scariest time ever was that tape you made of me Joe D is ready to die
I think I think that's still available on YouTube. That's terrible. I watched that like four years ago
I was like boy, that's the I I
That was a rough time man because that you know that I really thought you hadn't made me believe that you were
dying like you said your spirit left you and you just like you didn't want to live anymore and I
Remember making that video
Like my mission in that video was to document what you were going through and try to like show you that we love you and everything's
Going to be okay and happy. That's why if you watch the video it starts off so sad and depressing
And like you're talking about how you want to die and then it's you on the plane singing on
American Airlines singing. We're in that fake band
10-inch screws or whatever
Instead of nineties nails and we all had wigs on and
You were how by the way, how did we I thought we were all gonna get arrested and we did that because twice on the way
They're in the way back you we somehow tricked the
Stewardess into letting you get on the intercom and singing
Biggie
I don't know what one of those it was one of those you in the middle of song you go Rogan. I want to race
Because Rogan's that to me if you get up there and sing I give you a raise. Yeah
And you did and that was the one of the most amazing and shocking because this was after 9-eleven
So the fact that they let you like take over an intercom system. Oh my god, I was rapping and you're rapping
You're like, who is this calling me at six in the morning
And then you switch songs in one of them, you know
That fucking Vegas thing ready to die. I can't tell you the damage I did that week
I got a call from one of my best friends ever and he goes. We're going out to Vegas a
bunch of us on this date and
I go, that's crazy
Cuz I'm gonna be there too on that day. We were at the house of blues
I think Friday and Saturday, right? What was it? No Friday you have sat up Friday
It was the thing and Saturday was the UFC. Yeah, okay
First of all, I had done the longest yard and we talked about this the other day and I was fucking depressed
Because nothing came out of it fucking Chris Rock got the show fucking
The black guy got a show
All of a sudden the other guy got big and the only people who stayed the same were me
Lobo and fucking Nick tutorial everybody else got something on the longest yard everybody
Everybody everybody hates Chris
Cheeseburger Eddie. He's big of Terry Cruz. I mean, you know
Go so all these people had everything. I got nothing. Nobody fucking call me
I was thinking about quitting comedy, but when I would go to Vegas
There was a kid that would go to the UFC's and he was part of the UFC like something he did something for the UFC
And every time he'd see me look at me in the stands they go
And then he'd go like this like call me
And I think that that Thursday I got his number
That Thursday when you made that tape, this is no shit like we got into town and I lost you guys
Like I was like, I don't feel good. I'm gonna stay in my room. Fuck you
I remember this that guy brought up an eight ball and he would bring up the come-down package
What's next to ten dollars? It was two Vikings
Two fucking valley. That's a good deal. So it was one hand for the package. He would deliver to your door
I think I spent six hundred dollars that weekend on coke
Yeah, I remember that weekend and my friends kept calling me going. Hey, we're over here
These are my height. These are my friends from high school
And they're like we're over at this hotel where we got a free fucking dinner come over and I go I'll be over in 10 minutes
I would never show
And then they couldn't come to the show because they were going to a bachelor party and that's what happened that Friday night
It was like after I had done two eight balls
And I had done pills to just straight now for the show like this is
This is when I was to the point where I was snort until six and not sleeping
Like I was to that so when I tape that that's after being up
48 hours you could see the bags under my eyes. How fat was I? Oh god, it's amazing. God. Yeah
The differences. Oh my god, I couldn't even breathe. Yeah, I couldn't even breathe was like I had 30 pounds on my chest all the time
And I'll never forget talking like I was serious like I was done and I was done like nothing happened from this movie
I can't stop snorting coke. I can't stop
Like let's just get worse guys like I can't stop and Rogan wanted to pitch a show
About calling saving Joey Diaz. Yeah, where they come to my house and do blood test
Yeah, and piss the bottle and shit like that and that was starting to get on my nerves now
I don't know if you remember. Yeah, I don't want nobody taking blood. Yeah, I remember the phone calls
I was yeah, and nobody better come to my fucking house and wake me to fuck up
I'm gonna start shooting some people like I was we were we were about to do an intervention
Yes, that's what what it was leading to and yeah, and it was that bad I
Could feel it now how bad it was and when I saw those tapes a couple years ago. I
Almost called you to say to take them down
But I didn't want to take them down because I wanted to show people that you could be in a horrible fucking spot in your life
That was one of the worst spots. I was in my life like I had a little bit of money
Like I was making a little bit of money that much
No, that was going to blow and all it was going to blow. I mean I couldn't control it. I could not control it
I'd like to know what year that was to see if he if I was even on the heroin yet
Like there was a time in that dark shadow that I got into heroin like I was doing fucking harrow
I didn't know you did that. Yeah
Well, not even that wasn't that one wasn't heroin the thing that you convinced yourself would cure yourself
Yeah, but it wasn't you know guys you have to I wanted to take that down in the worst way a couple years ago
I don't know
Leave it up because I want people to see
Who the fuck I was in 2000
It had to be it looks like around 2010 2011. No, no because I was still snorting. I
Was still snorting so it's got to be earlier than that. Yeah, it's got to be before November 2011
It probably was February or March of
2007 I
Was on my last leg. I really just wanted to die
And then maybe a few weeks after that I saw the ray thing
The movie about Ray or something. Yeah, right. What year the ray come out?
What year the ray come he's gonna look it up now
Oh for oh for so when I saw Ray. Yeah, look at that. Look at that. Look how big he is there. Yeah, well
