It's all the same shit You haven't heard dick if we're gonna hear anything in here and here because we're close to go on the hour bill over here They even got a little Mexican joint over here where you can dance the night away if you'd like they got bands and bring them up Isis fucking goes in there not ice Isis, but ice the fucking people with the guns I've seen them when I get my car wash really I've seen ice over there fucking knocking on the door early in the afternoon Giving them a notice that they're showing up tonight immigration watch them scatter In the old days that we just go immigration and people would be jumping windows and be fucking beautiful
Starting point is 00:03:57 You never seen that ice. I have a friend immigration watch him scatter He would pull up to a bunch of Spanish people that was sitting on a block and he would yell at him immigration You just yell immigration you go watch him scatter. Oh my good buddy Roger Hollow. I called them Fucking they called them yesterday. Is that the guy who's in Magumba? Yeah, that's a guy who said Magumba But anyway, this is a solo podcast thing. I want to talk to you guys about a few things, you know, I I Get anywhere from 75 to 100 fucking emails a week on Facebook and messenger. I find shit the church You know, and it's so funny how yes some people want advice and comedy some people want Advice on drugs and people don't know what to do
Starting point is 00:04:40 It's pretty interesting the emails I get but the email I've been getting frequently I guess I haven't spoken about lately and people want to know about is my eldest daughter, you know Let me talk to you people about something else before that that'll get to that. I Went to take my young daughter yesterday to herself defense class and I was sitting outside and a girl came to get a brochure and when she came out She walked up to me and asked me if I was Joey. Yeah, she shook my hand. She goes. I just moved here from Houston I'm a comic and I've been here for about two years and Can I ask you a few questions? I was like, sure, you know, I was just sitting there
Starting point is 00:05:22 My wife was next Meg will sit down, you know, asking whatever you want And she was asking me about that she had done Kevin Hart special one of the Kevin Hart shows on Comedy Central she did a movie and She played like a she had like maybe ten scenes in the movie. She got a lot of action in the movie with a great cast and She just got something else some of the show She opened up a Mike Epps at a at an empathy or something like that and they might use her again She goes, you know that you get all these things from time to time But that she wanted it for it to move faster, you know
Starting point is 00:06:00 And I asked I go you frustrated right now and she's like a little bit and I go, you know what I was frustrated for 20 fucking years Like frustration is something it's not it's connected to a little bit of anger It's connected to a little bit of just being Disoriented but when you're frustrated, that's one of the worst fucking feelings in the world because it doesn't go away from I was frustrated from like 93 to 2007 I was I lived my life very frustrated because I couldn't figure out
Starting point is 00:06:37 the The path, you know, I was getting close to the path, but I couldn't figure it out You know, I was getting close to the back then when they figured that I just had eliminated coke out of my Life and that's what it was. That was the last of the frustrations, you know And I was frustrated frustrated for the same reason you you guys are frustrated your job You know, things aren't going well enough. They hide this guy instead of you This guy got promoted instead of you. Why is this guy getting this and I do this This guy's getting a lot more money than me and I sell more tickets and they were just so many little frustrations that I had
Starting point is 00:07:13 You know, what was going on with my daughter and my ex-wife? That's fucking frustrating, you know, I I lost 200,000 dollars there easily in attorney bills For what at the end for what, you know, what was the point of going through all those motions for the result that we got? But when you're frustrated, it's also the result That you're not doing something right and you don't want to come to terms with it That's what frustration is that you're cutting fucking corners Instead of doing a goddamn work. No, there's nothing and you think you're doing well or whatever But you know, you could be doing better. You can't put your finger on
Starting point is 00:07:53 In that you're cutting corners. You're cutting corners in your life and one day, you know, you could this I Was very frustrated for years Then I got into comedy and I lost 50% of the frustration I had Because I wasn't in the workforce anymore That's very frustrating being in the workforce I know that you guys that have day jobs and you know, you're into them and you are college educated or maybe you're not college educated It's fucking frustrating having a day job It's okay for a while and then something happens and you hate it and then you like it again
Starting point is 00:08:28 But it's it's similar to comedy. It's it's a lot of life and comedy exactly the same That's why I call it a journey because you're gonna be frustrated But what do you do you quit? No, you keep pushing along and you stay frustrated I mean for me, I just stayed frustrated after I got into comedy full-time I was still frustrated and then 93 was when the frustration went away now I had a complete different frustration Which is what to do with my ex-wife and the kid, but that's completely different, you know part of frustration is not commitment either You know, I love these people who go well, I'm gonna do this
Starting point is 00:09:07 But I'm gonna keep my job until this happens It's never gonna happen because you're giving 50% to this and 50% to the other so you can't give a hundred percent to anything in full and In those trenches you get frustrated because do I quit my job or do I keep playing the violin? You know, do I do I do this or do I so it's it's a constant Thought process and go and once it goes into your fucking bones. You cannot get rid of it Well, you said you said that the frustration stems from you're not doing something you're supposed to be doing. Absolutely Is there it does it all is there another side of it where?
Starting point is 00:09:46 Maybe it's too or maybe you just started something or maybe maybe it's not like is there something Is there a part of it that you're just impatient or is it all it's impatience? Part of it is impatience, but it's also finding yourself at a particular time for a particular period of time Finding yourself in a position for a long period of time You start getting frustrated. You start getting frustrated. I'm not doing this I'm not doing that and the answer in frustration is always looking into yourself and Always going you know what life isn't fair. I get that I knew that I found that out when I was 13 But now how can I make life more fair in my favor?
Starting point is 00:10:30 and it takes somebody really like To step out of your body and look to see where you're slipping Frustration comes from you not doing something. You're not doing something. You're supposed to be doing either you keep putting on the back burner You know, that's frustration That's frustration And once you do something To get that away. You won't be frustrated no more. You're still not gonna get to that location any quicker
Starting point is 00:11:02 But now at least you know you're gonna get there eventually Okay, okay, so that's the difference if you're frustrated. It's because Frustration and in your mind is you can't win You cannot fucking win think about that state. I was somebody gonna look in your eye and say you can't win Well, wait a second Joey. I wasn't looking to win, but I was looking to come in third. Well, what do you need to do? to come in third What needs to be done what what what is the simple solution? How can we change this? That's frustration, you know, so here I was frustrated with comedy
Starting point is 00:11:44 By 95 I wasn't that frustrated no more. I knew that time I Knew I had nothing going on, but I also knew because I had nothing going on Time was in my side by 95. I was probably making 800 to a thousand doing comedy every month and the rest was free, but at least I was paying my rent I was eating I would do little hustles and time to time like gamble with Josh Wolf or sit on bets or whatever that that gave me a Little extra income or get somebody a grandma blow. Yeah, but as far as a comic I was making 800 to a thousand my fourth year in comedy
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's frustrating But I also knew that two years earlier. I was making 200 a month in comedy So I knew that the longer I stuck with it the more money I would make and then you have a set back month and you get back on the road You know, I not every month is gonna be good Not every month is gonna be good, you know, you know, I'm on weight watches and for a while there I lost weight. I started lifting every weight I gained weight and then I started putting on weight again
Starting point is 00:12:53 So I went to talk to this lady where I left and she's a nutritionist and she talked to me about a diet She had and I knew by looking at it that I couldn't do that diet. I travel. I travel and I Said, you know what instead of doing the diet on the tighten up My weight watch is more and that's what I tell people with a diet or that type of lifestyle It's one day at a time. It's you Against your mind every day and some day you win and some days you lose I'll tell you what if you eat good for five days and you eat men's amends for two days you won
Starting point is 00:13:30 You won You won it's week to week Last week I didn't dip into my extra points. I didn't weigh myself. I feel a little lighter. I feel a lot lighter But that was I was frustrated, you know plateau is frustration You're not doing something you're supposed to be fucking doing so obviously I have no business talking about it I just want to see where you're coming from so obviously no one's perfect and there's certain things like you can't do that diet on the road, but in a perfect world is that diet something you should be doing is you not doing that it's not gonna work for me I know going into it. It's not gonna work for me. Okay. I know going in so not gonna work for me
Starting point is 00:14:11 Okay, I just saw the foods they wanted you to eat and I knew it wasn't gonna work for me So I know it's not gonna work with weight watches. I could control it. I could eat chicken breast all day Right white rice and black beans. I got eight points You know, there's little things I could control you're not gonna win every day, right? But if you win five days out of seven you won You did the week, you know right now it takes a lot for me to go to a McDonald's gonna take a lot for me to fucking The only fast food I eat is pizza. That's you know, and I don't eat it from everywhere. I eat it from one certain place now But I plan my day. I know that I have seven days to go to war
Starting point is 00:14:53 But when I look at a menu I look at it and I prepare when I go to a certain town I know what menus they have and I know what I could eat so I could stay within that realm But it's the same thing with life. You're not gonna win every day at life But first you're gonna start winning one day a week Then you're gonna start winning two days a week and you're gonna feel frustrated for five Then you're gonna start winning three days a week then four days a week and listen What are you gonna do? You're gonna do four good days a week and you're gonna have three bad days Didn't you just tell me yesterday that baseball is weird because you could bat 300. It's a game based on percentages
Starting point is 00:15:33 Life is also based on percentages Life is also based on percentages. So what are you saying to me Joey? Okay? every month if you have 22 good days of eating and Seven bad days you won that means you got seven minus twenty two is 15 good days of eating You've made a little bit of progress. That's how you have to look at things Is the progress the little things that you could do daily to change what's going on in your world? You know what man? I don't like this material. I'm doing well Go schedule 22 sets in two weeks and do a comedy camp
Starting point is 00:16:11 Go home every night listen to your thing write it down and you live for it and you'll get away Plateaus mean you're not doing something right. That's what a plateau means in your life. How many plateaus have I had? If it was if it was if I put plateaus by you know, you know when you put four lines and then a line through it Right, you ever see that and it's five mistakes. I've had 90 fucking thousand plateaus You know how many plateaus I've had in the last ten years Maybe six or seven compared to eight thousand I had before It's 2009 2008 since I took control of my life because I got off the drugs
Starting point is 00:16:54 But did I still fucking make mistake off the drugs? You bet your mother's fucking asshole. I didn't You bet your ass I did but the percentage of mistakes got lower and lower So do you think it's possible to have a mistake free up a frustration free life or it's always going to be No, no, no, no, no, what's a frustration free life for you? Okay, we're talking about somebody today a friend of mine in Jersey his family chops up 30 million a month For because they bought real estate in the 60s and they bought really good real estate in the 60s now I Look at a guy like you guys or whatever and you go wow, Joey 30 million divided by four every month. I get my dick sucked every day
Starting point is 00:17:41 What's the biggest problem when you get 30 million dollars a month divided by four? Which is what exactly seven and a half. I think yeah, like seven and a half. What is your biggest problem? What is your biggest problem that you would look to me you go Joey seven million a month fuck? I wouldn't even listen to you anymore Right seven million a month you're on a boat with three chicks you chop your wife's head off And you put her in a bail box to fuck to Mexico whatever the fuck that I'm press charges About seven million a month that comes into your fucking account every month, you know Even with that seven million believe it or not. There's gonna be frustrations
Starting point is 00:18:20 You're never ever ever gonna have a pain free Frustration free No drama free fucking life, you know when drama happens Think about it Lee Changed that fucking tire. It looks low and it ain't long It don't look long because I got this got at least something's not right with that tire These are mistakes you make when you're 21 and all of a sudden two days that I got a call from San Diego Where are you?
Starting point is 00:18:49 I'm at the side of the road the tire one flat what did I tell you three days ago to change it? But you wanted to save the 40 Right, you create your own frustrations. Do you see them saying so part of your life? You create a lot of frustrations yourself By not listening by not taking care of something Something that's right in front of you. Take care of it. Take care of it Why wait till tomorrow when you can take care of it right now? I'm talking about you go to the bathroom and all of a sudden you're peeing and also you get hit with three things award
Starting point is 00:19:18 Obviously your roof is leaking You know Instead of putting spackle and checking it you go and lay down and also you come back two days later And your roof is on the fucking floor in the bathroom And you could eliminate there's so many things you could eliminate from your life We all know that you guys are not stupid. There's things that we eliminate when I stopped doing drugs. I Eliminated 80 fucking things from my mind. How do I know because here's where I am today? I Took the time if I was thinking how I was gonna get it who I was gonna get it from
Starting point is 00:19:51 How I was gonna get the money and I took that same time and Invested in writing a joke and calling a club owner. I did all these things when I was doing the coke Am I doing it more effectively now obviously Because I had a frustration I had that drug. I also had a frustration of my ex-wife and my daughter Big frustration because I wasn't getting nowhere But what happened to me in 95 in 95 for two years. I fought her for everything I had Borrowed money from everybody. I stole what I could I robbed a few drug dealers Just I think about all these things I did to get money to pay an attorney so I could see you on a Wednesday
Starting point is 00:20:33 Because I couldn't get her every time you file a motion. It's another fucking $800. It's two hours You're paying a guy 400 an hour or 250 an hour. Whatever anything over $10 an hour is too fucking much for those fucking thieves so You know, I'm frustrated because I'm broke I'm frustrated. I still found money to do coke though Right or wrong. I couldn't pay rent, but I found money to do coke So who's the fucking problem? It's me. I'm frustrated. I don't have rent money You were jumping up and down the night at Otto's lounge though on the table with white all over your fucking face
Starting point is 00:21:12 You know, you found time, you know, so all these front those type of frustrations, you know, I don't have rent money I've been telling you since the eighth of the month to go look for a job I've been telling you that this was gonna happen You don't want to find the fucking job this day was gonna happen What's the 30 a dollar? What do you create? So there's things frustrations that you create in your own life with my ex-wife and daughter for people who don't know I had a daughter in 1990. I Got the comedy in 91. We split up six months after that
Starting point is 00:21:46 I Don't even need hindsight to tell you this before she a month after she moved out I knew I was gonna have problems seeing that kid. I knew that that was the weapon. She was gonna use against me. I Kept trying to force myself to believe that I had known her for too long And we had too much history for her to do something like that to me. That was my fault But in the deep down inside. I knew that eventually I wasn't gonna see that child for two years I did everything I could to see that child and to stay in her life But I could see where the cards are turning I could see how I just wasn't getting no aces in my life at all
Starting point is 00:22:24 But I wasn't doing anything to get any aces either You felt I wasn't doing anything to make my life better. I was going to war with her. I was still snorting coke I was still seeing crazy women. I was still paying child support late I was still doing all the things that I had to write to talk shit. I don't have the right to talk shit I was bringing my own frustration out But when I saw my comedy game improving And I saw that one day I smacked my ex-wife's boyfriend And I saw what my little daughter looked like
Starting point is 00:22:58 I was frustrated That's why I smacked them that was part of that was part of the smack. I was very frustrated, but I also saw something in my behavior that day that knew That I was the I could either keep living frustrated Or go through my dream and deal with whatever I had to deal with later on and I did that We haven't had contact in probably 15 fucking years Does it kill me? It killed me for a long time Now today, honestly
Starting point is 00:23:29 No, doesn't kill me I made peace with it. I paid my money. I paid whatever I owed her. I've reached out to her Ten times, you know, I could get on a plane and go to where she lives and Uh, harass her. That's not something I want to do. That's not something I wouldn't want to be turned around and come out in the papers. Now people are mad at me because I harassed my daughter I just did what I did with everything else in my life time time
Starting point is 00:23:59 time Time as impatient and as much of a dickhead and all the fucking faults I had when I got into comedy I could even tell you that when I came here in 98 I looked around I asked questions I kept my ears open I listened I made friends with people who knew the business like rick rick dunkelman and
Starting point is 00:24:26 You know rick dukeman and older comics had been at the store alan stevens gave me guidance You know rogan and I were a couple years apart So at this time rogan was learning the ropes too. I was learning from him and he was learning from me But I was learning from asking people like paul mooney blah blah blah blah blah blah And everybody hit me with the same answer It was time They all said the same thing put your head down Keep getting on stage and keep writing
Starting point is 00:24:53 Keep getting on stage keep writing go to acting class get an agent All these things will make you strong and eventually you'll get to the place where you want to be Is it going to take a year or is it going to take 10 years? You never fucking know That's why all you could do Is put your head down and keep doing what works This is what works will frustration go away Listen man, I get frustrated when I get in the car and I'm on the 405 But as soon as I realize where I'm going what I'm doing and the purpose and I'm out
Starting point is 00:25:27 And I could it could be all worse. I could be going there to get fired or I'll be going to the term myself in or something. I realize I have nothing to be frustrated about Frustration is something we add on ourselves Because when I do what we're supposed to be fucking doing You know for years I was frustrated with my wife my ex-wife Why would I be frustrated frustrated my ex-wife? I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing And trust me once you start doing The things that you're supposed to do. Yes
Starting point is 00:26:00 I write my goals every day, but I also write the three things I need to do every day The three things to reach to that goal Every day I got a show tonight What three things I have to do I have to look at my material I have to pick a nice shirt whatever the fuck you want to write you write down I don't give a fuck what you write down as long as you write it down The three things you need to do today not to be frustrated How can I not be how can I and I'm telling you this is from fucking I'm an expert in being frustrated
Starting point is 00:26:33 Expert, you know a couple weeks ago. I got stuck at the airport with Steve Simone We the flight got canceled to Atlanta. I'm sorry the show got rescheduled for the 25th Of january the tablinacle theater. We couldn't get a date early in that. I wanted a saturday Because I knew a lot of people were driving out there. So please just bear with me We got stuck at the fucking airport And when they canceled our flight at five o'clock I got to tell you some Simone was getting a little agitated and I had to put my hand on his shoulder And calm him down and it was that he was frustrated, you know, you get frustrated
Starting point is 00:27:08 But I didn't get frustrated where 20 years ago I would have been a fucking mess And did I lose money? I lost money. I lost money on the fucking hotel I lost money from the ticket sales. I wasn't that least bit frustrated Because it was way beyond my control. Do you know how to fly a plane joey? No Do you know how to fly a plane plane Steve? So no, then there's nothing you could do It's a seven hour drive to Atlanta. It's five o'clock We're not gonna fucking make it
Starting point is 00:27:38 You could be mad or you could adjust then I came home and I spoke to my neighbor And my neighbor was taking a flight from Haiti that day And he was going to land in Atlanta and take connecting flight to LA and they grounded him in fucking Atlanta And I go, how did you feel and he goes nothing? There's nothing you could do All you could do is fucking he goes I went I got a cab I got a hotel room and I went to a jazz block bar and got drunk He goes, that's all I could do He goes they lost my luggage too from Haiti I don't know if this is the same for you, but for me whenever like if something bad happens
Starting point is 00:28:15 Like if if you get a flat tire or your plane gets cancelled I get I don't get the stress as much as when I have too many options because when something bad happens You're right. Like there's like, oh, I can't change this. You can't change. So that to me that's not as frustrating as They're like, oh, it's delayed it might come or oh There's there's traffic on the way to the gig like that for me is when I get more frustrated Well, those little things Those are things you're gonna get frustrated about For a couple minutes, you know, I'm talking about when you're
Starting point is 00:28:48 Frustrated like when you You know like piles on like it piles on You know, I wouldn't have been if I would have been a little frustrated with my life I would have thrown a conniption at that plane ticket day Okay at that counter And that tells me a lot like when I left there and I went back to the hotel room like on the flight home the next day I thought about my my behavior
Starting point is 00:29:12 I thought about how 20 years has affected my behavior you know, not even 10 years has affected my behavior because once Once I stopped doing the coke The picture filled in like I always looked at a picture But it didn't have the colors put in it was just a blank piece of paper with designs and and outlines and whatnot Once I stopped doing drugs That killed 10 000 frustrations
Starting point is 00:29:41 It really did I started the frustration of my ex-wife I still had the frustration of a career of not moving along as fast as I want because we all want things To come right away. I see it when you guys send me messages I see it when I read posts on it. We all expect something Right to fuck away and if we don't get it right away You know, god forbid the world hates me. I got no luck. No Look at it from the other way Look at it what you can do not to speed up the process
Starting point is 00:30:15 But to make sure you're taking the right steps To get unfucking frustrated. So you're not frustrated So you could do whatever the fuck you're doing Without that burden that burden When you lose that burden from your shoulders, you can't even believe it You think like something's going on. Am I taking new vitamins? It's a new shampoo You know, I got a new girlfriend. No, no, no, no, no, no You let the frustration that you had to go
Starting point is 00:30:42 You're gonna sleep better You're gonna be a better friend You're gonna be a better boyfriend a better husband You're gonna be so much better in so many fucking different avenues. It's gonna shock you. You're gonna go. What the fuck was I frustrated about? And then you're gonna answer question number two. I knew all along This day would come Whether you want to get married whether you want to sell the house whether you want to build a house Whatever plan you had to go that was getting you frustrated once you accomplish it you go
Starting point is 00:31:13 What the fuck was I frustrated about? This was gonna happen. Anyway I stopped snort in 2007 And I had gotten a lot of movies till 2004 When I got the longest yard That took a big frustration off my shoulders Because now it let me know that I could do What well for two reasons number one, I never thought I could get into a movie
Starting point is 00:31:42 But there was off always that little 2% belief that I could get in the movie And when I got in the movies, even though I had shot spider-man 2 and taxi and all a bunch of movies by then This particular movie let me know That that 2% was right even though I had 98% against me and I was never frustrated around guys I could tell you that right off the bat If you think I'm frustrated because I can't get on jimmy kim on one of those shows You're absolutely wrong because I decided early on
Starting point is 00:32:11 That I knew I wouldn't work on those shows and I was absolutely right I was absolutely right. I'll never work on one of those shows my comedy would never work It would never work for me because whatever you saw when you come to see me at the store On the drive there. I might think of something else and say it and now you'll be pissed at me and you'll never put me back on So before we even get to that, I'll just eliminate. I don't want to be on your fucking show I know I'm not a clean spotless clean comic the do I want to work like that? So I never had those frustrations. I had frustrations about not going to montreal To the dirty show like that's a frustrating thing. How can I not get invited to the montreal dirty show?
Starting point is 00:32:48 But eventually I realized it wasn't going to make a big difference if I went And the frustration went away You you just said something that you have to make the decisions to so you don't be so you're not frustrated But what the thing that I worry about is like you will you talk about like 10 years ago? You almost quit to to sell cars To me that seems like a decision out of frustration. That's not really fixing the frustration you have so like what How do you stop yourself from making the the car selling decision in 2009? When I got married
Starting point is 00:33:25 I moved up here to the valley My wife was making good money. I had gotten a couple deals A couple videos showed the stations and stuff like that I had You know done my name is Earl. I had done a bunch of shit Rogan was paying me well on the road when I went out with him And when I went out without Rogan, I made regular road money, which I did not mind, you know I was okay in 2009
Starting point is 00:33:57 When I decided That I wanted to sell cars It was it was not a frustration It wasn't no it was me coming to terms with me I had given it a new york run I I got my movies. I got that headline I was never going to go to montreal. I didn't even know about netflix stand on any specials like that I thought it was more of a give up
Starting point is 00:34:24 Okay, and it wasn't really going to be a give up. I was just going to do Comedy in los angeles Okay, that's it. But that wasn't out of frustration. I didn't know. No, not at all I didn't know about the comedy store then I didn't I thought I would never go back The improv still gave me spots. I had my room in braya I was doing fine I was doing fine. I was not a frustration. It was out of I
Starting point is 00:34:49 Didn't know how to get to the next level And at that point I didn't want to go I was pretty happy where I was Okay, if it meant I just saw a lot of things I saw a lot of things and headliners, especially ralphie And I saw a lot of people changing and how their priorities changed and a bunch of stuff changed But I saw a negative change on a lot of people
Starting point is 00:35:16 and I thought that if I had to do that every week like that I would change And I was very happy. I was very happy walking in those days I used to walk my wife to the train in the morning And then I would walk around the neighborhood and then I would go home and write for a few hours And then Every other weekend every two weekends. I was opening up for joe And then I would pick up a weekend somewhere on my own once a month and I would fly there
Starting point is 00:35:43 For 1,500 bucks or something like that, you know, and my plane ticket would be like four And it didn't really bother me because I kept my low overhead low I wasn't out to act like a fucking gavone And me and my wife had a great living. My wife made good money. So I didn't have to fucking kill myself I just didn't think that I was ever going to get the chance To go on the road sell tickets and headline. I didn't I didn't see it coming It wasn't a frustration move. It was just an honesty type move Okay, I was just being honest with myself. There's guys that do comedy that I've mentioned before
Starting point is 00:36:20 that When they wake up in the morning, they go, you know what? I love comedy. I love watching netflix specials I love doing an open mic every monday to see the guys And I like doing one week in the month. I get my job gives me a thursday off to take off And these guys you see them. They got a smile on their face And they're very content. What do you think that they were another talented guys out of seattle when I left? All those guys stayed in seattle And they're content with what they do. I'm not mad at them
Starting point is 00:36:51 They knew what they wanted to do And they stuck to their plan. You know what I'm gonna live in the pacific northwest I'm gonna go to Idaho. I'm gonna go to oregon. I'm gonna go to northern california and I'll go to You know five states around me. I got plenty of one nighters up here and I'm raising a family Some people know where they stand That's why I always tell people be careful what you wish for Because you just might get it Before you make that wish write down what exactly you want. What exactly it is that you want
Starting point is 00:37:27 You want to raise your family you want to have enough time for your mom. You want to have enough time for your For your kids, you know, what is it exactly that you want to do? There's a lot of people I knew especially in Denver. I could tell you this I could fucking count them in 10 fingers Guys that I did open mics with That told me to my face like I don't want to do that That's not why I do this. I have a day job. I make great money. I have great insurance I like coming here on mondays. I go to this place club 52 on wednesdays to get away from my wife
Starting point is 00:38:02 And work on material and these guys are the type of guys that get good They get really good and they become writers for the other guys the bigger comics in town So they make a little scratched that way But these guys don't ask for much. They don't want you could go up to them Go listen. I got a gig for your master's grade garden. I don't want it Wow, how about opening for me? I don't really want and I'm gonna have to leave on a thursday and I'm not gonna sit up for my kid. They have already predetermined what type of career they have I have a friend that's a professional musician
Starting point is 00:38:33 And I grew up with a kid that has a bar band He's my age 55 years old. He has a great band called the past masters They do all covers of songs They do weddings. They do bars. They do race tracks They're one of the most popular bands in new jersey That's how he wants it He's an engineer They take the summers off
Starting point is 00:38:58 So do you think that do you think that where someone like like Rudy Sarzo might be frustrated if that was his life Because he wanted more but because these people knew what they wanted. There's no frustration. There's no frustration If you know what you want ahead of time There'll be no frustration if you write it down You're comfortable with it. You know, and if let's say something else happens then something else happens It's a cherry on the fucking sundae It's a cherry on the fucking sundae But frustration is something you have to look at because frustration comes mixed with anger
Starting point is 00:39:33 And then on top of that mixed with anger they throws doubt in your next move So but that main character is frustration You have to get him out of the way then the anger will disappear and the doubt will disappear And that's that's when you're cooking with gas Like once my frustrations ended like in 2008 when I put all the pieces together That's when I knew I was I was on to something But then I decided, you know what? I really just want to do like a tv show
Starting point is 00:40:03 For a long time. I love going to cbs raffin That's my all-time favorite. If you don't shoot the show at cbs raffin I don't want to be there It's right around the corner. The traffic ain't bad. You can walk They got good food on there fucking nice people Somebody sees you're walking. They pull over the shuttle get stuck at fox See if somebody pulls over with a fucking shuttle Don't run you the fuck over it's 2,000 degrees. You're walking around with a parking suit
Starting point is 00:40:30 Because you're playing a fucking australian fucking eskimo Nobody pulls over to give you a fucking ride. So Uh, but that's not the point. The point was that I don't know I didn't know mercy was coming Nobody knew mercy was coming I was just happy with my wife being a couple And I enjoyed opening up for rogan. I enjoy how he treated me I knew what my position was on that team
Starting point is 00:40:56 I was dedicated that fucking audience round the fuck up up front And be as filthy and as fucking good as I could so he could follow it with a bang And I was happy doing that and I could see that clubs weren't wouldn't let me do that as a feature act for them There was no way what I was doing in front of rogan What clubs allow other headliners a lot first of all Six out of ten headliners couldn't follow that What I would throw in there's no things and I wasn't as consistent as I am now In those days, I was like 60 40
Starting point is 00:41:29 Once I stopped doing coke. I turned 70 30 80 20 in front of rogan I could see the improvement in 2013 right before mercy I started having doubts about staying up again. Really? I did a couple bad shows and I'm like, maybe I should have stuck to my guns But it was just I needed to get on stage more When I had mercy in the beginning I wasn't getting on stage for a long period of time And then rogan would ask me to do a gig and I just stink up the fucking joint You know, I just think it the fuck up
Starting point is 00:42:03 Then I figured out how to work around having a daughter how to write And all the pieces worked out and even now You'll see me after a show you go on. That was a good show. I taped it for you or whatever I'm frustrated for a second But I'm frustrated with me I'm never frustrated with the audience. I'm never frustrated with the venue. It's always something I did Well, the fucking guy heckled me and the bar guy didn't throw him out. Well If your material would have been on point, he would be heckled right
Starting point is 00:42:38 So can you sense if you sense frustration? Are you like, okay? This is coming in. I need to change something. Yes Especially with stand up the biggest frustration we have Of life is not taking responsibility for our actions That's where frustration is born Not taking responsibility. It's this guy's fault. It's that's guy's fault. It's my boss's fault. It's his comedian's fault It's the world's fault. It's the street fault No, that's that's how frustration starts by not taking responsibility for yourself
Starting point is 00:43:10 One day when you go like, I don't want to feel like this no more. What do I need to do? Not to feel like this no more boom It hits you like a fucking overhand right You're like, oh, I need to write five days instead of four days I need to get on stage. I know for a fact that I personally need five sets a week to stay sharp So when I stay home during the week, I need five sets a week to stay sharp That's two sets tonight one on Thursday and two on Saturday Or vice versa. I play a zone defense two two one on Saturday
Starting point is 00:43:46 Nothing could stop me from doing those five sets I need five sets when I was doing comedy for years. I needed I would go for 15 spots every week Fourth year once I moved to Seattle and on I was on to 15 spots a week two on Friday two on Saturday I and I'd go somewhere like I'd go to the main one and then I'd go to a bar And I'd get on stage when they had a microphone on that just to hit that number how
Starting point is 00:44:22 What happens or how do you Like if if you're frustrated and you're like, okay, this is this is what's holding me back If it's something that that you struggle with like we were talking before the show I've always been a shy person And for me to get bar shows, I need to just start going and hanging out without having a purpose And to be honest that makes me nervous makes me I retweeted something the other day It was a thing by bruce lee. Okay. He said no limits, right? I think myself and diagostino Touched on this the other day
Starting point is 00:44:53 For you to become a good comic everything about you has to change Like your beliefs have to change if you're shy too bad You know I'm saying if you don't like nights too bad If you don't like sleeping in hotels too bad if you don't like sleeping in your car too bad that all changed We discussed that the other day that once you make the crossover Into being a comedian You could drive with a certain disabled sticker You're not right somewhere somewhere the circuitry is not right
Starting point is 00:45:25 So why are you trying to play it off like the circuitry is right? Who the fuck are you to say you're not gonna? I'm shy. I don't want to go down there. Well, this is not gonna work for you This is not gonna work for you You're a comedian. You can't be shy I could see you being introverted Chris rock is very introverted But you can't be shy You're a comedian
Starting point is 00:45:49 You got to tell that bitch in the front row. She got a big set of titties. It's different on stage But so how do you or how did you? Work on things like like the drug thing like that's that's an easy thing to say I'm gonna quit drugs, but you had tried before I tried 35 times I tried 35 times, but it's the same thing as a diet You try 38 days in a row and eventually it's gonna click It all comes together as a machine, you know It all comes together if I say when you have to make an investment in something
Starting point is 00:46:23 It's completely different It's completely different when I went on my little fad diets. I used to go on nothing would happen Once I said that's it my spot at the store is 1130 I'm embarrassed to go to the Y at 400 pounds at six. I'll go at nine And I forced myself to go to a Y every night and fucking nine o'clock You know what I didn't want to do I forced myself to do You know when when I had Jackie On sundays and wednesdays, I would have to they would come and I would have to meet her at the parking lot
Starting point is 00:46:56 And I'd have to and I would have to give her away and give her a kiss and tell her I loved her And I'll call them in two days and when I would turn around and walk back to my car Tears would stream down my face Now what was the last time you were crying and you felt like doing comedy Not really Not really nobody wants to do comedy. This is a devastating thing my little daughter I won't see it till wednesday these scumbags are holding the hostage on me I did that I felt bad
Starting point is 00:47:26 for maybe three weeks Frustration set in And then I said how do I not feel this way on wednesday nights Get up off your fat fucking ass and get to an open mic or club or somewhere You're not going up go down it And I would roll the joint and leaving in the ashtray And I would get in the car I'd cry I'd wipe my tears And when they would pull away with that bullshit
Starting point is 00:47:52 I would open up the ashtray right there in the safeway parking lot And I would smoke the joint I'd pick up my chin a little bit I'd look in the mirror I double check my eyeballs and I go you're gonna go out to a club now and do comedy I don't give a fuck how bad you feel And I did it, you know the night and guess what? That year of me doing that trained me for february When I went to sit on the plane in burbank and I got a call at four o'clock that brodie stevens had hung himself
Starting point is 00:48:31 You know how many comics had to go on stage that night with that thought that brodie stevens had to go on But they're professionals Yeah, some comics won in drag. Yeah, can you believe brodie stevens has himself? Oh my god. It's a shame. He was so positive Let's have a fucking drink But there was other comics that had a job to do that night Comics that were close with steven brodie Brodie stevens, whatever his fucking name is got a rest or so They were close with brodie stevens
Starting point is 00:49:00 I remember going to the hotel room and kate felt so bad. I said come over. We'll just eat here And I just ordered a bunch of food and we ate in the room And then we all went down together. Nobody wanted to be alone. That's how bad everybody felt in that room But we had to perform When I got downstairs, I felt bad. I felt like crying the whole fucking night But my body and my mind wouldn't let me These people paid 40 dollars to fucking see me on stage in vegas. It's not a 20 dollar ticket in vegas It's like a 48 dollar ticket and fucking ticket fees and shit. Right. So I had no time to bleed
Starting point is 00:49:39 That's what that expression is called. You got no time to bleed. I don't have five days to bleed And we went up with it. That was from me training myself In 1995 for a whole year instead of crying like a bitch And being angry and figuring out who I was gonna kill Going to do comedy took care of all that shit. It was amazing Going down and going on stage bombing Drinking a cocktail took care of all that shit And made that frustration go away because it let me know
Starting point is 00:50:13 I could do it. I guess I could do it. I don't know what it meant, but it let me know I could fucking do it It's uh It's wild that that that something like that would Make you feel better like it seems like you could be like, okay, if I bomb it's gonna make me feel worse You know man Bombing Getting a standing ovation doing good
Starting point is 00:50:39 Getting applause breaks. It's all in the same thing Really? You still got up on stage. That's true in my world. You still got up on stage I don't like the francis and gallo fight on saturday. He he nicked junior dos Santos You know, I thought junior could have fought better. I thought junior was gonna give him a better fight. He's a veteran fighter Just him getting in the cage. I give those people props Yeah, I'm not the type of guy like ah, he's a bomb it. You know what bro at the end of the day
Starting point is 00:51:13 Just him training the six weeks and getting into the cage. He deserves something Yeah, you win you get frustrated. You didn't see the hand coming blah blah blah What is frustration me? Now i'm gonna do something different so I won't be in this position again, right? Okay, and then it's on the other side of it is okay. I got a standing ovation I should just do it like this every time and you try like even if you try to sometimes it doesn't Like it's hard to like repeat things sometimes. That's why you start brand new fresh every day Because whatever happened yesterday happened yesterday. I don't give a fuck about what happened last night. It's over
Starting point is 00:51:55 It's over bombed did well didn't mediocre But let's be honest. I bombed in New Orleans three weeks ago. It still haunts me So I gotta go down the next year and light that room on fucking fire Did I really bomb? No, I just didn't do as well as I could do What what am I frustrated for not doing as well as I did? I wrote down what things I did wrong when I went up there. So it won't happen again That's a 28 year mark Because I don't like being fucking frustrated, right? So if you're frustrated
Starting point is 00:52:31 That's You know and it goes back to my daughter, you know for all those years. I didn't get her and I blamed everybody I blame this guy. I blame my ex-wife. I blame the boyfriend. I blame the court system And then I realized I guess what in 95 Even if I beat the court case and whatever I'm a fucking comic How much time do I have to raise a child? I mean at that time I was a fucking road dog guys Now I'm an older guy. I'm in a different realm of comedy things are different
Starting point is 00:53:07 I put my time in but at that time for what I was looking to do I was looking to be on stage every night to speed up this process to become a better comic at the four-year mark I didn't want fame. I didn't want money. I didn't want anything. I gotta be honest with you guys I wanted to be a tremendous fucking comic I could look you all in the eye and tell you that Throughout this comedy career. I tell Lee all the time if you're looking to make money go sell kilos of coke If that's what you're looking for you're not gonna find it here, you know I get calls from people all the time that I have known on and off for friends of friends
Starting point is 00:53:50 All of a sudden they want to start a podcast because there's money in it I know it's a failure You just said the wrong words to me You just said the wrong words to me Tell me that you want to start a podcast To inform people about comedy or inform people about Cancer or your road to cancer or how to avoid anything But don't tell me you want to start a podcast for money because 90% of the time you're gonna fail
Starting point is 00:54:21 You're gonna be depressed None of this shit that you're starting is for money. Yes down the line You hope that you figure out how to turn what you're doing whether it's woodwork Rather, you know, I got a bottle at the house I got this bottle that I bought 20 years ago, it's a old wine bottle and an artist put Postage stamps on it. He went to an old fucking thing. He cut out posted stamps
Starting point is 00:54:48 So it's whatever would post the stamps, you know, I bought that bottle from that guy 20 years ago. Now I'm talking about 1998 No, it was 96 no It was 98. I was doing gay pride in Michigan and I walked the next day. There was like a fair
Starting point is 00:55:09 And I went for a walk and this guy was like I'm writing a book right now And I got I called this guy the bottle booth guy He's one of the angels that came into my life to give me a message I was walking down the thing that had paid me like a thousand bucks for this Gay festival. I had never seen a thousand. I hadn't seen a thousand bucks. This was 98 I hadn't seen a thousand bucks in one time
Starting point is 00:55:37 and one check Since like 1991 Wow, like I was in fucking heaven. I was scared to even cast a check That's how I had not seen a check for a thousand dollars in fucking nine years And I had this loose money and I walked to this, you know, the farmers markets But they have a bizarreathon where they sell different wares and shit and this guy was selling bottles And for some reason, you know, like you're looking at all these things There was a boot that had tamales and there was a boot that had different juices
Starting point is 00:56:08 And there was a boot that they painted your face and there was a boot that sold olives There was all these boots of crabs and But this guy really stuck out. He had to be around 48 Maybe 50 He had been smoking cigarettes since the womb You could tell him and his mother used to smoke cigarettes in the fifth grade But he was a tremendous artist. He took these bottles all types of bottles, you know wine bottles beer bottles
Starting point is 00:56:35 The one I bought is like one of those Hennessy bottles and he Put the tape then he put a glaze over it And it just looked neat. I looked at what the guy had done and I go, you know what? That looks neat. I go, how much you want for the bottle? He's like 20 bucks. Listen If you think I had 20 bucks to give this fucking schmuck But before I gave him the 20 we talked for probably two hours And we talked about the arts and we talked about When he started making these bottles
Starting point is 00:57:01 He would pay for the boot out of his own pocket For the first four years or five years. I think it was three and a half years. He said He paid the booth rental a hundred dollars every saturday For 14 weeks out of his own pocket He had a day job To believe in those fucking bottles And he said that he had been there for three and I go, how many bottles would you sell? You know like a week like on a weekend he'd go two
Starting point is 00:57:30 At 20 bucks a bottle He was still losing a couple hundred a month. He was telling me and he goes that one saturday He did something he put a balloon up And he he paid an extra 25 bucks even though he was getting ripped off He paid an extra 25 bucks to get closer to the to the entrance and he put lollipops In the thing and now he was selling 20 bottles every fucking week You know, so what did he do? He was frustrated and that's where I learned that from he goes. I didn't quit
Starting point is 00:58:02 He goes, I just made my product better Can I make my product better? He goes no My advertising had to be better my my marketing had to be better So I had to get closer to the entrance So when people got the full 20 dollars, I get it before they spend it on carrots and fucking artichokes and shit Plus I made my booth more friendlier. I put balloons around it. I put whatever now All that money that I lost I already made back in one year Well, you know
Starting point is 00:58:33 Now guess what I had been doing that type of shit At the charity when I was 21 years old Remember I told you about a year ago. I used to buy uh, it was a happy hour So I used to buy food Half to half to half the price when you were bartending and put it out for the merchants, right and next thing, you know My money went up my fucking a hundred bucks So I was frustrated, but I figured out a way And that's what all this is
Starting point is 00:58:59 When you're frustrated when you're frustrated with something is that you're not figuring out what you're doing That's all that is. It's just an emotion that You're not taken care of you have to take care of something for that emotion to go away Like I said to you today. I'm no louis ck. I'm no chris rock. No joe coy, but I ain't frustrated either I ain't frustrated at all by no means and my frustrated my career Why? Because I know I do my job every day Every day I do exactly what I have to do
Starting point is 00:59:35 20 of those things I don't like doing I don't like it So so in this scenario, do you see yourself getting to that higher level or are you just content at where you are right now? I'm so happy right now. I'm content on where I am I don't really give a fuck I don't want to do have to shit these people do if I have to Do half of what these people went through. I don't want my bombs to come up on TMZ. Right, you know That's that's harsh. Do you know what I'm saying? I don't want my bombs coming up on TMZ
Starting point is 01:00:10 I don't want every move that I do being analyzed by anybody. I don't want somebody going well 20 years ago He did this. I don't want it. I don't want none of that really doesn't matter what I did 30 years ago It's what I'm doing today and how I'm living my life today. That's all that fucking matters If I was still mammogramming and snorting coke and robbing people that's one thing I love how I'm living today I love that I get to do this show connect with people in a certain way And then go out on the road and connect with them in a different way to me. It's a game. It's a game of chess I love it. I could raise my prices to 69 dollars and do this
Starting point is 01:00:46 I see the prices these people are charging on the road and it makes me sick to my fucking stomach Because they've forgotten all about the american household and how hard it is to keep a job You know, it's it's bad enough. You got to go see a baseball game and get fucked in the ass With your kids now. You want to go see a comic? So I try to keep I'm not here to rob nobody. I robbed enough I just want people to have a fucking the same good time that I'm having I want people to feel the same thing. I'm feeling awful one joint and going on stage Before I go on stage. There's no alcohol. It's just a half a joint
Starting point is 01:01:23 I put it out and I go up there and I giggle like a fucking fag And I you know jump up and down I say dirty jokes and I say jokes that rub people the wrong way But to me I'm having a good time If this means me having a good time This what would be bad me me having to get on stage every night Me having to deliver the 20,000 people every night that paid 150 a fucking ticket Me having to have a fucking bodyguard and an assistant and a fucking road manager Following me everywhere me having to have like somebody wake me up and I don't want that
Starting point is 01:01:57 That's something that was never for me You know when I see people with assistants. I want to jump off a fucking bridge Unless you're fucking you know Unless you're fucking And even then The president, you know and even then Unless you're a scientist, you know that you need to I don't get it
Starting point is 01:02:23 So for you, I don't want 20 people around me in the daytime. You know me emails I get from people. Amen. Can you train me to help you? I don't know how to train somebody. I don't know how to stop and go back And train you can't I can't train people to what I do What I do how I do it is completely different than other people do You know, I like to save on time. I like to save my energy. I gotta get gas I could have came over here earlier. Fuck that. I'll come over here when I gotta do the podcast Some people came over, you know
Starting point is 01:02:54 I like to Write out my day You know, I don't need if I don't need to go to when I go to hollywood. I go to hollywood When I go to hollywood, I stop at five places. You know what I'm saying? I stop over here. I say hello. I dropped something off here But no, I'm very happy where I am. I'm very happy going on the road twice a month They push bigger venues on to me and a bunch of this shit And I refuse it. I'm very happy. I have to accept who I am on 57 years old I have a daughter who I really really want to be a part of our life and razor
Starting point is 01:03:31 And I enjoy coming in here and doing this with you Twice a week. This doesn't burn me out Everything I do cannot burn me out I've been burnt out for years. I don't ever want to be burnt out again I don't mix and match. I don't put myself in bed predicaments like Do a movie and tell san antonio and dallas. I'm gonna be there. I would have never got there My manager of my not my manager of my booking agent Thought I could have got there
Starting point is 01:04:00 I know things happen And now you you know, could I have made detroit and Omaha work? May 16th and 17th and 18th I would have made Omaha work going back now Detroit would have had to get canceled anyway San Antonio and dallas Wouldn't have to get canceled at the end of the week. They didn't need to be canceled But I worked that thursday and wednesday
Starting point is 01:04:23 What if a crane would have broke on thursday and I would have had to come back on friday to shoot Then I would have had to cancel dallas today of So so now so now the the question is is do you and it seems like the answer is yes, but how do you live your life To like not even get rid of frustration, but to avoid like future frustration do what you're supposed to do the first time correctly Before you make that move Think about that move
Starting point is 01:04:56 And if you're going to commit to this make sure you're giving it 100 percent Of what you got because if you give it 80 you're going to be frustrated If you give it 90 you're going to be frustrated and if you give it 96 you're going to be frustrated You've got to give it 110 So there's never a doubt Listen, let me be honest with you
Starting point is 01:05:21 And let me be honest with the listeners out here and then we'll wrap it up I don't need to open up a notebook If you remember my story at all when I went to prison I got on stage like 10 times And then one of the guys came up to me and he goes here take a notebook You're gonna need to write your jokes and I said to him. I don't write jokes I I go on stage and I get hot and I talk about what bothers me and the guy goes you do that without writing And I go yeah
Starting point is 01:05:52 I went to Marie T this morning. I wrote for an hour and a half I moved some stuff around I moved a couple words around I eliminated the sentence I put a couple I put a paragraph in the book, you know, I drank some tea. I got some vitamin d I gotta be honest and I gotta be honest with uh people listening If I did what joe coy did I'd be a lot better of a comic What do you mean? I don't just don't even use a notebook
Starting point is 01:06:22 Oh, he doesn't use a notebook. No, no, like he writes On the road on the stage gotta go on stage. I write better on stage I know this for a fact When I'm with you fucking around When we were here the other day talking shit We were talking about the jews and blocking and the pigeons at the jews fall I tried to do that shit again yesterday, but my wife didn't work. Oh didn't work. She looked at me like I wasn't even fucking So I know in my heart
Starting point is 01:06:51 that I could throw away my notebook just save it to write down the blueprint But I would do a lot better as a writer with 800 eyes looking at me Everything is different when you write something when you write some on a piece of paper And when you got to write with 800 people looking at you 800 through this 400 people in the room You got 800 eyes, right? Right when you got 800 eyes looking at you you write quick jack. Yeah, that's the best material I wrote Like this week. I added two tags to a joke in the agestino reminded me all uh
Starting point is 01:07:26 Steve Simone reminded me that night because I never heard that before and I felt like saying to him. I never heard it either You know, I couldn't say that to him in my heart. I couldn't go ha ha ha. Yeah, I just wrote that last night No, I didn't I wrote that on stage. It was just an impact thing that came I did it. It killed Just a line just to add a line to it. I love when people go. Oh my god. I've never heard you say that before Well, you're fucking retarded Because I haven't Yeah, well, so that that that's annoying
Starting point is 01:08:01 To me, and I guess maybe I should use you to just accept it Whenever I sit down and try to write something almost never work. No get high Go with your friends and pick a topic. Let them throw a topic at not not like pre Right determined I'm talking to my side. You just show up and see six guys in the pizza place and you're eating And also this pizza tastes like should I eat some chicks pussy down that tastes like this beat, you know and boom Oh, shit. You should say that on stage now. You got something to work with
Starting point is 01:08:28 You got a line to work with that. You know, you can't beat that at all I do a lot better on stage, but for me to sleep at night I got to sit down put the work in a little bit put the work in a little bit just to make me believe that I'm putting in the work even though I know I go to the comedy store tonight And I got two sets and the set I'll do in the main room when I walk into the original room I'll get on the line by the time I walk into the original Or I'll get rid of the lines. I didn't like or I'll add that bit somewhere else. I'll do that and come home and go whoof
Starting point is 01:08:59 I did my fucking job this week. Right and that's what I do even though. I don't need to do it I could just be lazy and go fuck no Fuck Marie T. But ever since I wrote I read Writing by Stephen King You have to sit down every day. You have to sit down at a certain time every day force yourself After nobody wants to sit down Nobody wants to sit down and write. It's the hardest thing in the world You start forcing yourself guess what now now I created an addiction
Starting point is 01:09:31 Feel weird if you're not doing now I feel weird if I don't do it And that's exactly how I want it to feel That's exactly how I wanted to feel Do you want me to tell you what the worst thing in the world is? I'm 56 years old And I lift weights and I do a couple other things If I wake up and I'm sore and I had plans. I'm going to boxing a movie tie I won't go because I'm really sore. That's one thing. That's one thing When I get up and I go, thank god, I didn't go
Starting point is 01:10:03 In my back, we did a bunch of kicks or we did kettlebell swings or whatever If I don't go just because I don't want to go because I'm fucking around I can't live with myself the rest of the day. I'll bomb on stage that night Well, that's how bad it is because I forced myself comedy life life in general to make your life easier And not be frustrated Life in general is doing the things you don't want to do When you see a fucking girl on the point of taking it up the ass
Starting point is 01:10:37 You think she five of those ten girls. Do you really think they want to be there? Probably not their faces But they got a hungry kid, right? They never thought they're gonna let somebody fuck him in the ass for the small thousand dollars But they got a kid and they got a husband who threw him out who abused him and they got to go now and buy a place Don't get me wrong. Some of them are pigs and one big up the ass And one america to see jizz coming out of their fucking ass But I guarantee five of those women go home and cry themselves to sleep at night It's a sad thought but it's true Do you know how many times I cried myself to sleep when we're doing something?
Starting point is 01:11:13 I didn't want to do because I had to fucking do it for the money tons of times Tons of times every time I watched a dish At a fucking restaurant every time I bust a table Every time I put a brick down, you know Every time a boss yelled at me fuck So The lesson we learned today on the 4th of july
