Yeah, I've been in this neighbor for 10 fucking years. Oh, but yeah, you went a little bit away
Some neighborhood I've heard it. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
Is if you don't want to be fucking frustrated do the motherfucking work
That's it. And that's that and you know, does the work motherfucking americans
