When can I come on the podcast? There's always a time and a place. Yeah, let me watch for a little while
Let me see what the fuck you're doing and I you know, yeah, I follow you on Twitter. I see your tweets
I see you a little morning thing. You're popping up. I read about your family and that really interested
Me and talking to you about your family because I would die for them to adopt me
They would love to have you I would die to live with a judge a
Da and then your sister's like a top-notch attorney. She's a prosecutor. She's a fucking prosecutor
Yeah, so breakfast at that motherfucking house. Yes must be like laws and no their interrogation
It's not a breakfast to beat the mill the fucking the backhand slap motion from 1988 listen that shit makes my dick up
There's evidence. There's objections. There's literally, you know
My mom was just a like a real estate attorney, but even just have her being a kid of an attorney
Can be rough like they look like they're uh, and I can't imagine having it from two sides
No one being a judge. Yeah, my mom definitely has like she's the cock and balls like for sure
There's a lot of like, you know intensity and
You know strong people in my family. So where'd she go to law school? She went to law school
In san diego and your dad
He went to law school here in los angeles. No, yeah, and they met here
They met in the courthouse in los vegas
Holy shit. Yeah, my mom was a tv news reporter and my dad was a prosecutor and he would
Pass her in the hallway and he always tells us that he would see her on tv
And say that he's gonna marry that woman someday
Wow
And then she went off to law school and I think they kind of like were dating other people
And then when she came back, I guess they met at a bar or something and like he couldn't keep his hands off her that dog
Well, like cordon vegas must be completely different than
Anywhere like vegas is like a completely different place. Vegas is an insane like asylum
I mean, I don't even know how I
Grew up there like I went back last weekend and as you get older
You know, your hometown means different things to you and you can kind of put into perspective your childhood
And it's such a crazy place to grow up if you think about it
Now as you were growing up, were your parents pushing you for you to go into the law field?
um, I think that was kind of something that was maybe like an
underlying expectation people would always uh, whenever I would see them out or their
Co-work they would be like, oh, are you gonna go to law school?
You know, do you want to be a lawyer when you grow up? And I was like, absolutely not never
So you knew it already. I just knew I wasn't that wasn't for me
at all
You got accepted into american university. I I went to college. Um, I went to three colleges
What was the first one?
It was a small school in vermont called landmark college and it's uh for people who have learning
disorders
Yeah, and then I have ADHD. So I learned differently, which is the nice way of saying retarded, but
I can say that I have documentation. So um, but yeah
I uh, I went to a school that like taught me how to learn because I just learned differently
I was always a creative person visual
um
And I just never I I went to a bunch of different middle schools and high schools
I went to a lockdown when I was 17 where I graduated from in utah. So I I my schooling was never
Um, it was it was all over the place, but you're very book smart
I am emotionally smart. I definitely have a books if I like if I'm interested in something
I will become obsessed with it
But there's you couldn't pay me enough money to ever study math ever again ever
I could give a fuck. Yeah, you did but you did and then you moved the fuck on
Yeah, like we'd taught me math like the math that I needed to know, you know
And how was american university? It was cool for like
You know, it was cool to be in our nation's capital. I got to see obama get inaugurated like I was
a part of you know, a huge historical moment in time
But um, I was I just felt like the dumbest person in all of my classes. I could care less about politics
Um, I wasn't inspired by it. I thought it was kind of like hollywood for ugly people
But I mean, no, there's whatever but I just I it wasn't the right place for me
And I even had the opportunity to intern for congress congress. I could have you know, um
Gone off and done something big with that, but I just was never
It wasn't meant for me. So you ended up in lynn college. I'm a part of florida bokeh root town
All the juice and all of them and that's where you got your degree. I got my master's degree from lynn
Um, and uh, yeah, I stayed down there and I worked
Uh in the
Hospitality industry. I always worked since I was 15 in hospitality
Um, and I worked in marketing out of college and you got a degree in marketing. Yeah a master's a master's. Yeah marketing. No shit
Yeah
And then when did you start smoking reef?
As soon as I pretty much left my parents house when I went to college 19
When I went to vermont. Yeah, that's where it's I mean you have to smoke. Yeah
That's the place like everyone is on something there
And then when did you first decide to get on stage? Um,
Almost three years ago
Yeah, um when I was 29
Yeah, what made you want to go because you said you I had tried to get on stage many years before that
I I did improv as a kid. So performing was never um, I was never shy
I was always the first one in college who wanted to like get up and do my presentations
And I just liked being in front of people but
When I was living in florida, I started going to improv shows. My first stand-up show was seeing mike epps at the palm beach improv and
Um, I would see I saw john love. It's bob saggett. Like I had just fell in love with stand-up
Years ago and then it wasn't until
I was just in these like horrible relationships
I was working these corporate jobs out here that I just was terrible at and I just knew that I really
One felt purposeless. I felt like I was just kind of aimlessly roaming through life. I I like
you know, I really
Spoke to my depression and just I think I just
I was searching for that something and it wasn't until I was getting out of a relationship. I was 29
I was living with this guy that was so toxic and my life just wasn't what I wanted it to look like
And for something for some reason just like stand-up was like it was screaming inside me
It was like do stand-up and I had seen a friend
Um, my friend sam grody. She was a sorority sister with me in dc
She does stand up and I went to see her at the john love its club
That one that got shut down
At universe. Yeah at universal
And I saw her perform and I was like I could definitely do that. Um, and so yeah, I ended up
um
Finally after a breakup. I just
started writing I went to um
mikes
I uh, yeah, I started getting on stage
Are you uh
I don't know how to ask you this
Are you lucky at love?
Am I lucky in love like at love lucky at love do you?
Um, I have always you attract fucking knuckleheads
I've attracted a variety of
Men in my life. Some of them were men. Some of them questionable. Um, I've always been in relationships since I was 15 years old
I've always like loved having boyfriends. I've
dated
People since I was 15. So I've had a bunch of boyfriends. I guess I've had experience in dating guys
um, who were all different kinds of
Uh, healthy and unhealthy for me now when you
Broke up with that one dude. We got into stand-up
Like I did the same thing like it was
All part of a metamorphosis process. It was all part of uh
I'm gonna stop doing what the fuck i'm doing and get into this like right I got on stage and like
June and in october she told me she wanted to get separated. Oh, wow
So I walked like for four months
I walked around like
I don't want to be with this person no more
And everything sucked. Yeah, like everything just sucked once I got on stage
And here I am 28. I'm out of prison
And I'm with this woman and god bless her
She drove me to my first open wide. She forced me like she forced the hand, you know
But it's really tough to explain to people
Sometimes at your like I got into stand-up at the lowest point in my life
And then I got into it at a lower point
And then I got all in at the lowest point in my life
The lower I got the more I got into it. Yeah, is that how you felt sometime? I my first year stand-up
I suffered like suicidal depression like I wasn't like
I didn't have um a plan. I wouldn't actually do it, but it it was in and out of my life my first year stand-up. I
Got out of that relationship that I was in at 29
Started stand-up. It was I was working for levity at the time
And my uh, I was doing social media marketing for them. That's really like my my path into comedy was like I used to work at corporate
and um
I
I ended up leaving that job because they wanted to bring someone in house. They got rita from the improv
Let me be a bartender in the lab and they don't give those jobs to like
Just anyone let alone women and like I'm not a career bartender
Like I'm in the back looking up, you know basic recipes for a Manhattan. You know what I mean?
Like she really believed in me and so I was going through this breakup
She gave me an opportunity at the improv
And I was also starting my open mics and writing and getting into stand-up
And it just became
Like my I was like, this is what I'm in love with. This is this is what I've been missing my whole life
This is what this is my purpose. It gave me meaning to my life in a whole new way
Oddly enough, I ended up getting into another relationship this past year. I just got out of a relationship. Um
but
He works in comedy and
I just like
I just fell in love with comedy like that was like my
That was my main love and then everything else was secondary and like he kind of saw that process
Of like my first year is was rough for me because I was going through
Kind of just like everything in my life like okay now
I'm in a place where I can put meaning
And like finding the funny and my pain and my trauma and also just like
You know, I think
It's a crutch for me is some of these relationships
Like I've always just maybe been afraid to be fully independent like
Which I know I can be but like who wants to be alone at night, you know what I mean? Like and I don't I'm not a random
Uh casual sex person. It just doesn't fulfill me. So
I think that
The more that I fell in love with stand-up the
Like less like my relationship became began to deteriorate
Like it was so weird to me how
You think about
The first five or six years of a stand-up. You know, you're in love with something when you give up your apartment
Yeah, like you know, you're in love with something like you have to force your
You have to force yourself to
Not be home. Yeah
Like I can't be home and I like I don't even know what that is
No, like if there were nights that I would choose to like spend in my first years
I I I would have this guilty feeling like I'm cheating on my like
My love, you know what I mean? And I and like that's when I was like, okay, this is
This is something that means so much to me and it just like
I knew that I needed to like focus on that and like after being in all of these relationships that just didn't
Work out like thank god. None of them wanted to marry me
You know, and they they took it that far like thank god. It didn't work out because
It was a point it was I'm at a point where I was like, okay
This is this is what I've been missing in my life and this is what I need to feed
You know what I mean kids kids. Do I like kids?
Yeah, do you like kids? Do you ever see yourself having children?
Um, maybe one day like when I'm older in my 40s women are having kids in their 40s. So yeah, my wife had the 44s
I'd I'd be a great pregnant 40 year old
But right now comedy is comedy. I'm this is what this is what I'm gonna do. No matter what
Like it's just amazing
You know, when you look up in sadly and like a dictionary is doing something
Over and over again with the same results, you know, and I always think about that. Yeah that with comedy
all those years that people would look at you like
You're fucking insane. You're living in your car. You're delivering pizza. Yeah, but
I was getting on stage three nights a week and then
Afterward, I would talk comedy till three in the morning at a denny's on we would go to a supermarket and buy
Co-cuts and just sit outside
and talk comedy and questions and bookers and
You know, it was just endless with me. Yeah, like by 94
I went home at night to read comedy biographies. Wow
Like that type of shit somebody sent me a picture today that blew my fucking mind
One of the guys that helped me out in the beginning. His name was uh
George George McKelvey George McKelvey had been on it's a night show like 13 times. Oh, he started with
You know, Johnny Carson like the 60s and shit
And George McKelvey like when everybody hated me George McKelvey dug the fuck out
Like no, oh, he's too dirty
You know, we don't know. He's just starting out
Uh
It was just really weird that George McKelvey would call me and go what are you doing this weekend and come open for me
That's so cool. I could only get you 50 bucks or 25 bucks
And uh, he was just really good to me and then there was a there's a big time manager now in town
And I know her and she knows, you know, finally, you know each other
But I know her from way back in the day
When she was robbing people. Oh, wow, like when she would tell people you can't do the open mic
at this club
Until you take my stand, of course. Oh, wow. So you would have to pay like, you know, yeah three bills for eight weeks
Of her course before you got to be picked. They only picked four people
A weekend for the open mic for an open mic
How long are they doing 15 minutes? Okay, so this is how retarded it was like, yeah
If you did a class for eight weeks and you could do 15 minutes
So they're doing a documentary on the Denver comedy scene
And they want me to do it and then when they contacted me the first time
I spoke holly about george mckelvey until they sent me this picture. Oh, wow
Who's george mckelvey standing with in his book? He credited george mckelvey
That's fucking steve martin
Oh, wow in 1969. He's so young. He's a baby
Look at him. So george. No gray hair. No white hair. No, nothing
To be 80 looks the same that's pretty fucking crazy. Which one's mckelvey's the one on the right? Wow
young steve can get it
So I never forget george mckelvey called me one sunday night. Like I was probably feeling sorry about myself
About to do a pound of blow
And he called me like at six and he goes where are you and I go i'm home
Because I had a page in those days. Yeah, I would have to run to the gas station to call people back. This is a fucking nightmare
Oh my god, I can only imagine trying to get booked back then with beepers and pagers and beepers
You actually have to keep a calendar like who walks around. How do you remember your dates?
I'll never forget a book you're telling me. Don't leave me a message anymore
You have to send me an email. Wow on monday. I told you go fuck this thing
Like i'm not emailing you. I'll call you
Then there was another comedy scene
where they would put
Gigs up there was a
Like a guy who booked rooms. Oh, wow
And he had like eight rooms in Nebraska and on monday he would put
His availability what clubs were open that week. Okay, and you had like
10 seconds to oh, it was like that back. Yeah, he would yeah
You're like, you know how many fucking comics in the area?
You had 10 seconds. It's like it's like when you have a southwest plane ticket. Yeah, and you're trying to check in
Because you want to get a one a one. Yeah, but you you wait 10 seconds. You're like eight 60 and you're like, what the fuck
What the fuck how?
Who is the who who's wife whose wives are everybody's at home like this?
refresh refresh
I am that girl. I am that girl
So it's shit like that. You know, I mean it's just so many different
What about fax machines? Do you ever have to fax things you had to fax in your availability?
Jesus
I remember when I was first here
And I was trying to make the transition from okay, so I got into the comedy store
I'm working the improv
Jamie doesn't let me work the club but
Uh, I do latino night, which is just as good. It was 300 people. Yeah, and I fucking
Just was stuck. I didn't know what to do. I had
I had like maybe three clubs that hired me that El Paso
Hired me as a feature act
triple
And I think there was somebody else that hired me
So I went I got a bunch of numbers from people
Like at the comedy store, I would ask people where you're from and they would go dc and I go
Who do I call them dc? Yeah, and they gave me the number dc was john x
Boston was this other guy that booked a club 56
And every monday
Fucking 9 a.m. Even if I snorted coke till 7 45
You were out here at 6 a.m. I would start so they would have the fax
at 9 a.m. And I would fax what you would do is put like, you know
Fucking wolfie
And then put the whole month of january
And then, you know
You would put a calendar and then give them your dates and what was open
But for you to fucking
Get booked
You had a lie about a date on that. Oh, yeah to make sure I can't do it this week
You're exactly you don't want to see you have to see that you're working on the club, right? If you send them an empty calendar you get who gots
So you had to make sure he didn't know who that club was or call and say
on
Wolveson's working that week
In june
What do you think of her and repeat you know i'm saying it's like get your mom catching you at not at your
Girlfriend's house. You were out. Yeah, so you had to fall and make up
So I took a job selling nuts and screws. Oh, wow on ivar
Between hollywood boulevard. I live right down there and uh, what's the one on top of hollywood?
Franklin Franklin. Yeah, so what the pizza places franklin and ivar. Yeah, franklin and ivar right across the street
There's a pizza place. Okay
Well-known pizza place joe's pizza. I don't know how it does now it used to be good when the guy not joe's pizza, right?
No, it's but i'm yeah joe's pizza
is
Maybe a block away right two blocks away if i'm at it west, okay
So there was a place in there that you I had to be there at four in the morning
Oh
Because you have to sell contractors. Okay on the east coast nuts and screws nuts and screws when they get to fucking work
So I would just snort coke till three hells. Yeah, the store would close at two
I would
Keep my car in the back of the store and just pop the seat back
And lay back. I would do a couple lines of coke bang one out
And then you fucking head over to ivar and sell screws catch the seven o'clock thing, but at about
six I'd start fucking
Facts and motherfuckers. I didn't ever
Where are you? Where are you out fat finding facts? I was a homeless fucking guy. He's doing it from work. He's saying
I got a job. Oh
So I would make money from seventh from four a.m. To six you guys think i'm here. I'm just here to use your fax machine
That was basically I went to the big month. I was making like eight bills a week selling nuts and screws
Yeah, that's smart though
It was and I would leave a fucking like they would say after you make a hundred aluminum you'd go home
Yeah, I would make fucking 200 by six
And start faxing at six a.m. I would fax every club owner. I'd have a notebook
With fucking dates written across it
For checks
And what the result was you have to you're a businessman. You're a ceo
So, you know, you don't want to call the guy you're gonna go. Hey
Rachel hi joe dears. I want to know if I could work your club and she's like you just called me
Last monday. What did I tell you? So you have to keep records, right?
So I had a notebook just even then just for who I contacted what bullshit story I told them
In those days, they would say send the tape. No tape. Wow
No tape. You're not getting shit. It's a different. It's just different completely different now
Most people wouldn't even because the I bet you
Half of us wouldn't even be around if it was like that
No, no one would even that was it can't even tie their shoes. Some of these people
No, it was a different they don't even shower before they hit the mic. You know what I mean?
It was a different game. You had a it was a day job
You think some of these people are gonna keep an organizational notebook
You had a real four hour day job every day on top of your writing
You had to stay on time and then you had a and then you sent those
And don't think you got work
Like I didn't say nothing about getting work. Did I know that was endless
That was endless that was endless and then once in a while a number will come up on your page
And he would be like Yoder's Booker mark Connell was his name and he would go
Hey mark, whatever. Chaudia is here. So
You're in michigan
You know like he I would put like joe's comedy club and he would go you're gonna be in michigan that week. Yeah
All right, give me the name of three headliners that you've worked with
And let me call around and I'll see if I could put you in this and then you wouldn't get it
Damn, and then you wouldn't get it because that's what they wouldn't vouch for you
Like no, you know now he has to get a hold of him, right?
You know i'm saying and all that she's and he forgot
So now you'd have to call him and say hey, what about that week in detroit?
And he'd go okay, you know, I need you at thursday friday
It's one night and he would put you on the string of one nighters. I still remember going from like
Fucking niles

No niles is on the bottom and ishpameen is on top
Traverse city like you would stop it would be like five hours a day of driving

They would go park there run upstairs. Don't take more than three minutes. Oh, wow
You could run up drop the package off see the assistant
The assistant would look at you
Because they're looking for a person like you right you just don't have an agent or your agent's a schmuck
I would drop off my own shit on tuesday. So tuesday was drop off day that agent you want to sign with
They won't sign you
Every tuesday he got a new package at his door
It was it was they couldn't get rid of you. No, it was 29 dollars for 100 headshots. I'm coming all day
I'm coming all day long. I would buy 300 at one shot
Every 10 days, you know, that's amazing. And then when I got the agent
I'd show up every other week with 20 more headshots and resume. Hey, don't forget me
Hey, don't forget me. I love that relentlessness. It's that's that's this what this all is about. Yeah
This is that love that you have. Yeah, that's what
You're not going anywhere. You don't read this in a book. No, you don't read this in a book
No, book's gonna teach you this. This is you know what I there was a kid here, Cory Miller
Got two half million dollar deals real good-looking black dude. Very funny
He went back to Atlanta to raise his kids because the show didn't get picked up
But he had this thing monday's he would write poetry. It wasn't a poet
It was no poet, but that was part of his exercise
Tuesday, he would write comedy
Wednesday, he would write a script about underwater fishing
Thursday, he would write fucking
Comedy and friday. He would write music wasn't a musician
But he said he wanted to explore all the different things and make his mind go to all these different places
That's the level. I love that shit that you know when I hooked up with your boy Felipe
You know, I would meet we have our own acting class. Yeah
Me Felipe silent Bob
Sebastian satina
We would give ourselves our own homework assignments. Yeah, we said fuck paying $300 and we critique each other
Ask them that's smart. I will ask them. Yeah, and then we go from there and go to a weed store
And fucking stock up on edibles the guy was a baker
At a Beverly Hills place and he quit his job baking to open up a weed store
And he would bake edibles. So not like regular like edibles
Edibles that you would get a hundred pounds, right?
Like, you know victory fudge with three-layer almonds
And you need pop pop one of them, but next time when are you gonna see them again? When are you opening for him?
uh
august in
Rodrigo, you ever see a person get knocked out and have to get carried to a car
That's what happened and his legs got a drag on the floor. No way, bro. They had Rodrigo one guy at the time
And they were walking them into a car one that one morning like in class
We started popping edibles and shit. Oh my god. That's when they were rice crispy treats. Oh, man
Coconut chiffon cake
This guy would make a coconut three fucking layer cake
With coconut in the middle with t8c and that shit and he didn't know you go to his house
They'd just be squeezing like this green shit
Or the coconut cake was green for starters. You thought it was st. Patty's day
Oh, my god. It was always same. His chocolate was green. You know what I'm saying? Everything he had was fucking green
That is amazing
And he can and Rodrigo smokes heavy weed. So I can only imagine
We're going we're talking 2000
This is back in the day. We were on guinea pigs with the with the edibles 2004. This is when
Felipe had
Wednesday night at El Coyotes. Oh, wow. I love that place. Have you been there? Of course
They still do comedy there. Uh-uh
I've been eat there. Are you been there to eat? Yeah, no, not El Coyote. Oh, you're thinking
I'm talking about fucking in the hood. Oh, no, I'm not. I'm talking about a different place
I'm like El Coyote on Sunday. I'm talking about a place where they changed the name four times in one year
Oh my god, because it was a drug bar. Really?
Wait, was it a it was just a bar and Felipe dated the twins fool. Oh
I want to fuck the sister and tell her I don't know which one it was
Stop, that's amazing. Oh my god. Yeah, they had so they give you wait
They changed the name four times a year every four times a year
A new paint job the twins ever find out about each other the twins worked there together hot both of them were 12s
Wow
Every mexican chick that worked in there had to be a fucking 12
You're not gonna find any of those bitches in the detention center
That's where they would pull them out of right through the tension so they would go down and go you get those four barefoot ones
They're on fire and they'd take them at the El Coyote
And Wednesday nights was comedy night. That's amazing. You got 40 bucks in a burrito. Oh, that's or a smothered
Yeah, oh my god, you wouldn't eat all day like you were that broke that you were sweating that burrito
If this place is open, I'm trying to go it's it's open. It's under a different name now
Of course, it's under a different name. I mean 40th name, you know, I could tell you
If I if I tell you the names today that has been there as open micers like
Just like feature acts you would fucking die. That's so funny
Well, what about that thing you posted? I think it was a day or two ago
On twitter that scheduled the laugh stop. That was pretty crazy. Oh my god
Just like it was you tom rhodes rogan fit Simmons
And a couple it was like big names gotta be 2001
2002
That's pretty crazy
Damn
It's such a fucking journey guys that it's must be pretty like I can't whenever I see stuff like that. I'm like
What if I see rachel in
20 years and and we were on the fourth wall list together and like yeah, like that's it's pretty cool
That's what i'm saying
It's like I see pictures of people of you guys from the past and it's like wow
This is a moment in time in like history. We'll posted one a year ago. Yeah of a open micless me him darin card
Oh, I think I remember that. Yeah, that's like, you know, like, you know, this is Dave Chappelle before
Yeah, Dave Chappelle, you know, I'm not good. I'm not good at saving stuff like that. I don't
You got to I never I don't save set list. No, I don't really say I I take pictures occasionally
But very right. That was never something that I I just don't even think about it
I got a folder of my comedy still set list
Yeah, a folder at the bottom of my drawer on one side it's set list and the other side is call sheets
Wow
All the big call sheets and the little miniature ones they put in your fucking green room. Wow. Yeah, you gotta save those
I mean, you don't have to know it
It would be cool. It's like it's your own little museum
I like I have my like comedy notebooks like that. I've that I've already like i'm saving them
Like I it's an honor to like fill another another. You know what I mean? Wait. Do you look at them?
Yeah, I can be like what an insane person
You look at them 10 years from now and you go
the thought
That I did this material
for y'all
for showcase
In front of all the biggest agents. Yeah, like this is the material I chose to do how embarrassing the biggest
of my life because you'll still have that set the set list like you'll have your
Your diary for the day and then that night before you go out
You'll have like the set list before, you know, apa. I'm apa was huge when I got
They gave me a showcase one night. I found it set list
About four years ago. Oh, wow, and I wanted to run into a warhead first. No
I swear to god. I wanted to run into a warhead first
Like the topics were just horrendous like I remember like a topic and a joke
Just horrendous like you look at that shit and go I'm gonna be regretting
I'm gonna there's gonna come a day where I'm gonna regret all the eating ass material I've done
Yeah home when you have a little not the eating ass the material right
Listen man, you
No, it's a part of my life. You say it, you know, you say it on stage
You know, that's why comedy makes you so vulnerable. Yeah, you say this shit
And you don't look back and guess what?
When I wasn't saying this shit
I didn't have a career. Yeah
So when I was talking about all that goofy shit the first 10 years of comedy
And I thought I was making strides, but I was a regular at the slaughter
I was a regular at the improv. You were just a guy cracking joke
Okay, you were just a moron that got good at cracking rarest jokes, right?
It's not till you go into that second layer of the epidermal
And start saying let me tell you what I did and then bring it to life with a joke and
Make them screech a little first, right and then go. Oh, we didn't know you were going that. Yeah
You know, this is the first 10 years. You're just doing knock knock jokes. Yeah, you're just a fucking wedding photographer
You know what I'm saying? You're a bar mitzvah dj. Yeah, you're a bar mitzvah dj, you know
it's pretty cool
I did a show with hazers trejo last night and I like even if I like last night wasn't my best set but
Even seeing people do well, but then seeing someone like him
There's just a different level of laughter and the laughter is more consistent and it's just it's like
It's like seeing like a superhero. It's it's pretty crazy to see someone
Who's doing what you want to do and doing it like such a higher level. It's so inspiring
You never want to be the best like for me. I don't ever want to be the best comic in the in the room
You know what I mean? Like I want you do but you don't
Yeah, but like I I always hope that there's someone around that I can learn something from you know, not even if it's not
The you know, whatever like we said on one day's podcast
A few years ago watching rogan at the union
At the union. It was a bar next to
Across the street from Miyagi, which nobody knows. I'm talking about right now. It's across. It changed the name three times
Yeah
Okay, pink. Yeah
Across the street if you go 30 yards, I forget what it is now
It was the union and I had been working with joe for about
Three years at the time and I saw him go have great sets at the store
But that night he was on pin point
and every
young comic in the room from
I mean, I can't even nick the parlor was there that night like everybody looked at him
And except for maybe nick the pile on a couple other guys that were in the room higher level guys
all that whole core I was with
like
I wasn't jealous of joe, but I knew that if I did the work
That was going to be me in 10 years. Yeah
Like that's all that's all like there was no
Like it was like wow and then boom
Sometimes you catch performances
That'll doubt you right that you go home and go
It's time to get on zip recruiter
I'll never get that good
The first time I saw stan open 96 like I had I knew dug
But I worked with dug in 92 and 91 and 96
He was a complete
different
animal
That I went like I had a gig that sat there. So I'm on a friday and that sat there like cancel. Wow
Like that's how shocking
And how good precise timing
Free was the word right I didn't understand that you had to be free
He was free. He was out of the cage. There was no holds barred
It was staying home fucking coming at you people walking
People grabbing their purses and paying their bills and he's yelling at them as they're walking out go fuck yourself
Where you going? I got an abortion joke. You got to hear, you know, like just tormenting them as they walked out
And you're sitting there going
I just want people to sit and laugh. Yeah, what point are you happy that people walk out?
He had flipped it around
There was another comic in seattle that that was his thing to go on stage and grow
There was two of them a girl on the guy that
We're gonna make them walk. Well
You you won the war
But you lost the battle, right?
Stanhope was doing a little differently. Stanhope was one in the war
And the battle because as he was throwing you out people were laughing that he was throwing you out
Well, wait, you're not gonna hear my tit-fuck joke. Don't go nowhere yet and the woman would be I've never you know
Like it was fucking nuts
Like what you know, and then I heard what he was doing down here
That he would do sets at the improv and just disrupt the show
Like the show would be fucking disrupted
Like all these neat comics will go up with their notebooks and their fucking squarmy shit
And they would get nothing because what they had just seen
Was so surreal the first time I saw stanhope I cracked
But then the second type of performance I saw I was rogue and at the union I go
Wait a second
Two years ago. I wasn't even I was fucking yeah delivering pizza delivering chinese food
Now I'm close with this guy and I'm able to see this
So that means I'm making progress
Exactly, you know, you're making progress. I know that that'll be me in eight years
If I get on stage every fucking day
Exactly and when you're at that point and you say I'm getting on stage every day
You fucking mean it. Yeah, like I'm talking about
Hi, this is mom. I'm coming to visit you. You're like
I hope not
Because I got a weekend up in Fresno this week. I mean it gets to that point. Yeah when you're like
Mom
I had to leave my best friend's wedding. Yeah. No, I was in vegas. That's the discipline
I went my best friend is the one wedding. I wanted to actually be at I got to be there for an hour
That's the discipline. I saw them smooch
I saw them. I ate some I ate a plate of food. I did I took the food
And I dipped I I wanted to be there more than anything
But I was like I I want to be
On stage more than anything else, you know, but this is what I really want and I get it first clicks
The discipline becomes intense. Yeah, the discipline that you have to put on yourself
Like the word vacation is disappears. Yeah, the word day off disappears the word
wedding disappears
Like there's so many things that just
Disappeared. Mm-hmm relationships like relationships disappear if you really want to do what you want to do
That person will leave on their own. Yeah, because they know they can't compete. Mm-hmm. I can't compete. Yeah
Guess what my friends and I are having this thing
You're like
Unless we do it 11. Yeah, exactly. What do you mean? And but you can't be doing comedy has to be that one night off
When you do comedy stores open 365 days a week
What does that tell you? But yesterday you did comics and you did the pizza place and you were so funny
That was yesterday
I gotta earn my stripes today. Yeah, and you get this weird discipline to you
And I mean I got to the point and you get josh wool next time you go up there
You go josh all those years where you having parties in LA the jodias ever show
Not once
And he was pretty much my roommate. Yeah, I always had a spot to do. I don't know
What you're talking about there was a girl broke up with me because
She was into that shit
You know, my brothers are coming out to visit me got nothing to do with me. No, that's god. No, that's your brothers
I ain't got no brothers. My sister's in cuba and if that bitch comes over
She's gonna get the same treatment. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about
That's why I love people who date comics and they're not in the business
See as comedians, you can't be with another comic. Why because it's not gonna work. How do you know?
I've been here for 22 years. But if there are people there are comics who do it does work out
Why take the chance? Okay
Why take the chance?
Why take the chance? Because what happens? What happens if you start laying dating Lee today?
Okay, you only fall in love. Okay moving together. Okay, and now
You start booking
Okay, you gotta take this more to dealt with you
No, so the first six months, it'll be fun. You take this more to dealt with you after that
Obviously, you want to be on yourself on the weekends?
You want to go do your own three things guess who's gonna get mad?
Boom, what are you gonna get madly? What happens if you date this fucking?
More to doubt
Hey, we're both more and you both showcase for Montreal, right? But you get picked
How are you gonna tell her you got picked and that's fucking ass is gonna stay home. Oh, that's what she's gonna want to do
Well, I'll just come with you
I don't want you can't come with me. I you weren't invited. I don't even think that like for me
I feel like it could work if no, it could it's not gonna work. Well, see like never gonna work
I even noticed a little bit of what you're talking about. It was just friends. There's like comedy friends wanting to come to gigs and
I don't know. I just stand up as you in a wall on the microphone. If you want to join the band join the beaters
You know go do reunite with fucking
SWV or something be the white chick
That's the bad mistake that you know, you don't know who do you date if you're a comic
Non-comic you date down non-comic, but then you have to train them
From what about Natasha and Moshe? There's a couple. That's one about Tom Segura and uh, like I said
There's Christina. There's one in a million
But the percentage what about rich boss and Bonnie McFarland the percentages are very low
Yeah, but I I I get what you're saying. What about the agent from ICM and another the chick? Where's her career today?
What about Ralphie and Lana?
I got a thousand of them for you. I agree with you for the most part. First off number two
Both all three of those women you named. Yeah a very
very
very
very
Very comfortable in one their sexuality
And two and in their skin
Okay
Those three women are not needy
Tom Segura will kick Tom Segura's wife will bit slap you quicker than I'll slap. Oh, yeah
Bonnie McFarland will hit you in the fucking head with a shovel quicker than whatever
And the other crazy bitch you talked about who else?
Um, uh, Natasha. Natasha. Let's listen. I get it. I come from a strong ass woman myself
Okay. Well, let me ask you this. How many comics did Natasha on the girl date?
Before she settled down motion cash. Probably a lot. Okay. Yeah. So now you got 20 morons
Every time you walk into a club
Look at her release. I used to fuck her up the ass and put it up. Wow. Okay
You know I agree with you. I think for the most part. Oh my god. No, no, no, no
I would never listen. I don't think people should shit where they eat. I'm very much against that
However, I think in those case those are the cases where I'm like, I do like seeing those people together because they're perfect for each other
Because they are comfortable with exactly who they both are and there's no competition
But I don't think every comic should be out here dating and if you are dating a comic
Like on the third date once you decide to move in with Lee
You got to set your rules. Yeah boundaries. You got to set your rules. Yeah
Same thing what happens when you date a civilian
Because let me tell you something sometimes they just don't get it. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. I want to marry you, right?
So we get married
What does joey do joey's a successful contract. They make seven figures a year six figures a year
He's very comfortable on who he is
We start humping fucking awesome. You spit out a little fucking woofie
And
You know what? I'm not the fucking nanny type. Yeah
so
you're gonna go on the road with
Dave chappelle and joe rogan and i'm gonna stay at home and watch the kid
Mr. Nanny you got a better chance of fucking dying
You know something's ain't it? Yeah
Somewhere along the line. It's just I like women who meet. I love dumb bitches
Who hook up with comics? Oh you like watching it? Oh, I love it. Yeah
I've seen that one
300,000. Oh man, I feel like you don't watch reality tv. You just have people that watch reality tv. I watch life
Okay, I watch life and use people as guinea pigs in my own little private show
I would pay to watch this show. I would subscribe. I'll look at you and lee and I'll say how long this is gonna last
And I'll be happy if you guys do last
But I'll have doubts about different things. Just I'll just watch it
Yeah, I won't but then I'll just give it honestly if you got into Montreal
I would and I didn't it would make me so happy because in my mind we got into Montreal
Okay, well, no, she's gonna tag along. No, I have a gig that weekend. So you go off and do Montreal
I'm gonna be over here doing my gig and also if we've been doing it a lot longer than I have
So for me in that sense, I gotta respect that
You know what I mean, like but you won't see I see what you're saying, but even me myself
I'm I can be a jealous person. I could see I could see myself
I date you that means now. I gotta take you on the road with me
Not when I'm married to be on the fucking road together too. Or how about we donnie and fucking marie?
Who books that show can I chair?
Give me that booker's number
You're not but I think a lot of people are I'm very I'm I'm I my first year of comedy was very much
As much as it was getting on stage and like writing and and learning that
And whatever it was also the mental side of it and having to deal with those emotions of
Jealousy and worrying about what other people are doing and really I got to a place in my comedy where I'm like, okay
I am confident that like
In my material and who I am and like my
Like that I know that I'm funny and that I'm in this journey. This is a journey for me. It's not like a
Rush I'm not everything that I've gotten has come to me at the right time and when I felt like I deserved it
I'm not one out here like
Begging for spots if I don't have a spot. I'm at mics. I'm writing every day
I'm getting better as a comic and I feel like
I've I've had to
Come to terms with that even with friends because a lot of my friends were getting stuff
You know and I was watching that in the first year of comedy
But you know what I started to get stuff and it didn't stop
I started to get a lot of stuff and I started to and I was like their success was my motivation
You know what I mean and I just I'm not ever coming from a place of jealousy
I always come from a place of gratefulness and gratitude that I'm even just here
so like I think it takes
The right kind of people one to be in comedy and two to date comics to comics. It's never
I don't but it's
Comedy is not for everyone and dating comics is not for everyone nor should it be recommended to everyone if I dated
Well, when you say dated
I fucked around with maybe four comics and I part-time dated one comic where any of them enjoyable for you
It got uncomfortable at what point
Once you put it in their ass
No
I didn't get to that part
If you even take somebody home, they're a good piece of ass you're having a good time
But then they did one little thing and it blows off the fucking whole night
If they would have done it on the third night
It wouldn't have bothered as much as the first night. Okay
Like the four comic chicks I slept with
were all looking for something
What do you mean?
They were looking for help at some point. Oh, oh, I see like from you for their careers
Oh, so they're at that part of my career. Remember this is this is this is when I was at the store
Right, this is girls that would see me at the store right and go you didn't think they loved you for you. No
No, no, no, no, this is LA
Nobody loves you for you. Oh, no, I'm I'm being cynical. I'm not saying that. Yeah, I've been mad. I've met her and
Yeah worked out. Um
One girl I kind of
I dated her I really liked her. Yeah, and I kept it as as
Detailed as I could
But I couldn't think about six weeks on the road without a second my dick
Brother with me because she was that much fun. Yeah, we did coat together. I could so it was a blast
I could light her asshole on pussy on those nights on those off nights. Yeah three of
Instead of paying for the hotel room myself. I'm sharing it with another comic
And that's what I didn't like. Oh, you didn't like that. I got back from that. I was done
Oh, okay. I still liked her and I still messed around with it
But our road work was done. Wow
Did you run into anything with uh, because you you met you met your wife
when she was working at the store not she wasn't a comic but
Was there
Any weirdness there with her being at your work or with her knowing with other comics knowing that she worked there
They were pretty cool. I kept it under a hat for a year. Can I tell you something? My parents
Are an example a rare example of people who work together that could stay. Yeah
Ran a business together and have a successful marriage together and these are
These are not this is not recommended either for these people to be dating those
You know what I mean? In each of us
As a comedian. No, but they were politicians and let me tell you there is just as much competition to see your significant other
I I get the competition part
as comics
That everybody chooses this career. True for a reason
So there's a little bit of
With a comedian there's a little bit of
We're not completely on our game. Okay
Your farm's auntie. We're not completely on our game
After I was 30 I learned that
Like where you are right now now you start learning more about your relationships and where they are
So I learned the one thing, you know what Rachel's fucking beautiful
But I can't date Rachel, you know, she's psycho because she's a fucking pothead like me
And that means every fucking day
Me and Rachel gonna smoke a pound of fucking weed and we're gonna go into debt together
No, we're not because I'm gonna be up working out
But I'm wrong about that catching that money
But if you're an alcoholic and I'm a cocaine head, that's never gonna work
But if you're a cocaine head and I'm a cocaine head, it's not gonna work
Okay, like after I was 30 I started figuring that out
So you got to just find someone who it does compatible drugs with
You know, it's a yin and a yang
I'm really
I feel like rick machine when he told that girl that
Comedy doesn't work. Uh, uh, if you're over 28, I should have never said that
Just in the years I've been here. I saw a lot more people break up
Comics and a lot more staying together. Yeah, I saw a lot. I mean a lot. Yeah
You know when you're doing comedy for five years
And you're into it like a girl like you
You're dealing with comedians seven nights a week
I bump into you. We go to denny's we go back to your house. You smoke a joint
You come out with pajamas on something happens. Why are you letting my secrets out?
And now we take little by little and we try it's happened a thousand times, you know
But it ends kind of weird
And now I got us like mitzi. Sure
Let's say you and I dated and we were both at the store
If we broke up after two years and mitzi found out
Now she would make you follow me. Oh my god every night and I would make or
Me follow you every night
So she would force you guys have to work together. She would make no weirdness. No, no, no
There's difference between working together. You're the nc and on the headline or like
But when you got to bring me up and shake my hand
Even though you left me for lee. Oh god. Okay. You left me triangle for lee literally
So
Now I got to go follow you even though I want to spit in your face or I left you for your sister
Would you want to bring me up without wanting to spit my fucking face?
That's a complete different emotion. She would tap into that's probably great for the stage though. Oh
So inspiring, you know because what are you not going to shake my hand?
Yeah, no, I definitely would give me a hug. Are you going to go up on stage and say this next guy coming to the stage?
Fuck my sister stole my car and cheated on me and gave me fucking chlamydia
I think he fucked my sister other chlamydia and we're getting married next week. Thank you
That would actually be kind of funny. Would you say that? No, you have to say this next guy. I love
I've seen him on atrio and I've seen him on showtime and comedy central
He's one of my all-time favorites
Keep it going. You got and you got to say this while your heart's breaking
He's going home to your sister
You know i'm saying yeah that builds that's called the discipline
The discipline
I'm ready for it. This is no this is lee. Are you ready to fuck my sister and bring me up on stage?
this is just like
The jabs did, you know, there's a discipline
There's a discipline. I'm one of the jabs and you fucked up. What do you do?
You got to go get a sword and and fuckers. I hurry car
It's a discipline. Hurry. You fuck up. You cut your thumb off. Yeah, we're not cutting thumbs off in here nothing
But you have to run this ceo of your comedy
Like it's yeah, it's a discipline. I don't give a fuck
If the period is gushing out of my pussy
I got a 15-minute spot at the start. You know what i'm saying? Like yeah, these are all the things that
You know, I don't care if i'm sick
You know, they just when you get into that love of it
There's just this discipline that's like but I feel like it kind of is like hurry car
I just know in the way like
If you go on stage and have a bad like it feels like you're stabbing yourself
And you kind of like I feel like maybe the point of hurry cars
So you learn from it and hopefully you learn from
You make like you're like, I'm not gonna make that mistake again on stage in some way. I think it's similar
No, you make the mistake again again to see if it was even a mistake
Okay, that's deep. Okay. I never thought about that make the mistake again on stage to see if it was even a mistake
Maybe there was just an audience that was deaf. You didn't get the memo
You know, maybe there was an audience that doesn't like fucking sucking and fucking you didn't get the memo, you know
Yeah, I'm sorry to turning your
Podcast into a comedy class. Oh, no, I'm learning so much. I really wanted to get to learn about you. This is so interesting
Oh, thank you. So who do you write for now? I know you're right. Um, I'm not I mean, I I've written for publications. I've written for
uh, high times mary jane vice playboy
um, right now I just work and do marketing during the day for the weed industry
And uh comedy at night
And when you say weed industry, who do you?
I work who signs your paycheck, uh bud feed kush queen
um, I shoot for a bunch of brands
I um, yeah, I do social media marketing. So
I get a lot of work in the weed industry
Just you smoking
Talking about that problem. Well, I do I do shoots. Um, I am part of a youtube channel where we film videos
We have like 70 000 subscribers all about weed kind of from an educational
Uh base standpoint with a little bit of humor and then I write for
Uh publications. I do social media marketing for brands and companies. I run ads on my account
Um, so yeah, I just I try to uh, you're pretty much making a living off the weed company
Um, not fully a living like I I'm between weed and comedy. That's what I make my living off of
Now you also said
In an interview that get to know the weed plant and keep it original
Yeah, if you want to get into the business. Yeah, what did you mean by that? Well, people get to know the plant
Yeah, for me, I just see a lot of people who are getting into the industry
I mean everyone has
their intentions of getting into weed. Um, but I just think that you need to really
I I don't like seeing people who get into the industry and don't have a relationship with the plant because for me
it's a medicine and
Yeah, and it's I feel like it's like you're taking advantage of something and of people who
You know, this is a medicine. This is something that's special to us. It's healing and
It's becoming so corporate and that's the side of it that like when we voted for legalization that a lot of people warned
Us about that this is what it would turn into and you know over time. I think things will change
But you're seeing so many different kinds of people trying to get into the industry and I get asked this question a lot of like
How do I get in?
What's the best way because I've you've been smoking for two weeks. Yeah, and all of a sudden
Now you listen to Bob Marley. Yeah, all of a sudden you got a weed t-shirt
That's what I saw in the very beginning. I saw a lot of fakes
Faking the funk. Well, and so for me, it's just like, well, you know one get to know the plant
From an authentic standpoint find why you love this plant. What is it that attracts you to the to the plant and then
For me be original like whatever you're doing whatever you're producing whatever
You're putting out there whether it's marketing or you're trying to do a brand or you're trying to do a grow like be original
Be authentic like find a way to add not take away from
Whatever is out there. I guess, you know, you brought a blunt
I did and we smoked it before the show. Yes
If this was three years ago right now, we'd be on a
50th bond hit
2000 nettles. Yeah, I had to cut that out for two reasons. Number one
I listened to the podcast and we were putting our shitty content
Because we were stoned 80% of the time
And the other problem was that I was attracting
The wrong kind of audience audience. Okay. I didn't want the audience. I didn't want to ever lie to the audience
I smoke
You know a fucking eighth every two days of 25% and over thc
And I have a bomb. I do this one bond at a time. Okay. I wake up to three
Three before I go lift
Three when I come back amazing two at one
A three before I got a picture. I smoke an eighth an hour. Do you really? I mean, I can go through an eighth and less than a day
Yeah, I could I could do them in a day
The bong slows me down. Yeah, I should probably do that. Okay the bong
I do the bong because it's a bigger hit
I get the more from my bang
Yeah, when I smoke now number two, I can't smoke the same weed every day
Yeah, so when I go to the weed store, I got to buy four weeds
Indicate what daytime weed and nighttime weed. I'm an indica guy. Okay, for sure
If it's if it's a high g if it's a high bread that's indica dominated
Okay, me too and the percentages I'll go with that sativas just do not work
There's maybe one or two sativas that put me in a different state, but the rest of them don't do dick to me
Yeah, I feel that I'm an indica dominant
In one of your interviews or one of your youtube videos. I saw that
You had adhd and then you were bipolar when you were 12, you know between you and me
I don't know what half that shit is. Yeah, I don't want to fucking know. Yeah, but I do know that
I had the same thing. I didn't get
I just knew from the first time I smoked weed
Not alcohol, not snorting coke
Not eating pills, none of that shit as far as weed concerned
Something happened to me. Yeah, if you notice, I'm not a big
Weed and a group type of guy, right? You won't see me at weed functions. Yeah
I'm not that's not my bag
For me. I do it like the fucking Indians. It's uh
It's uh
Ritual it's a ritual. Yeah, you know as it as it very much
It's a ritual for me a personal ritual. Yeah, I can't lie to you and a lot of people gonna hate on me for this
I don't give a fuck if it's illegal
Okay
It's a ritual for me. I like I like ripping the paper and then
Clue in it together. I'm letting it dry and while it dries. I'm breaking up my button
I'm listening to a music and then I put it together like I wrote two joints and put them in a
Thing and go to I'm when I'm on the road and I'll smoke one before the first show and before the second show
I really don't want to smoke with nobody. Yeah
It's my own personal little ritual
Totally, you know, if I know that you're gonna be the I'll bring seven joints
So I could give you one your own joint just in case you blew a fucking
A fucking terrorist last night. Yeah, I don't have to have terrorist germs in my lung and agent orange
You know what I'm saying when I was a kid I would get sick when I smoked in circles
Oh, wow, I would get really sick or whatever. So for me
I I never for me. It was not about I think that one this weed thing and you and I both know this
We won't mention no names. I think a lot of people got on the weed boat to sell ticket center
Yeah, make people think they were cool or whatever
And they the way the guy like me. Yeah, because like you I've been hitting this since I was 12, right?
And I think for even when I think of comedy
When I think of the comedic mind
And I think of a drug. There's no better drug. Yeah, you know this morning when I got back from acupuncture
I had a fucking right before I came he had a right a little bit
I did four or five bomb hits. Yeah loosen the wing
You gotta look at the dry ginger elf diet
And that put a I leave myself on the other room
I go on the living room because I didn't have a chance to go get caught, you know
I had to do it there and it's all part of my ritual
I love that if I could I don't like smoking while I write
I like to smoke leave the bomb in the other room
And then I write and then get up an hour later and go refuel. That's a discipline
That's a discipline get up move around and go smoke again in another room the uh
The common thing when I hear from people about riding high
Is that it'll seem funny in the moment, but then it actually isn't have you guys trained yourself to ride high?
Or or do you find the same thing? It's not about writing funny in that
It's about relaxing you if you read the Stephen King book on writing. It's not about writing a whole page
It's about sitting there for now. Okay
It's about you. I'm gonna have to read that getting up going somewhere
Sitting there facing the sun
Or against the sun if you read his book. Yeah, he sits a certain way
towards the sun
Steven Spielberg the prince Stephen King the prince of fucking darkness
The guy who wrote cujo has to sit a certain way in a room
Facing the sun and he plays music while he writes
And he locks the door so nobody could come and I don't like my wife coming in the room, but I'm fucking right
Oh, wow
That's why I go to a coffee shop and I sit in the same place the coffee shops nobody could come up behind me
Wow, you know, I like all these little rituals rituals
But marijuana for me has always been a ritual. You know, I get up
I drink coffee. I pop a nicotine gum. I brush my teeth
Then I hit that pipe at that about 40 minutes in by fucking eight o'clock. I'm starving now
I can eat my two eggs and bake it. What time do you hit when you wake up?
Um, I mean honestly every day is different. I wake and bake pretty much every single day every day
Different ways. I've been on blunt lately, which is probably not the healthiest
But I just love that little bit of tobacco. I like I like it from time to time. I love it blunt in a coffee
I go and I work out
Sometimes I'll wait to smoke until after I work out because I like to think of it as a reward
You know, it's my wind down
Um, and definitely when I'm writing and even like on before I get up on stage like Felipe
When you know, we're chief and right until the moment we get walk on stage and I had some of my best sets
You know high as fuck and like I'm just calm where I can like
Be myself and like some stuff like maybe a joke will just come out. I'll write it on stage or something for me
The reefer removes the safety net. Yeah, I'm fucking Johnny Wollander. You want to be Johnny Wollander?
This is your chance to be more Johnny Wollander
Smoke this this is another discipline
Focus and go on stage deliver the audience will read
That you're high. Yeah, and they give you brownie points
They give you points. So there's a learning curve
You know when you're drinking you don't get that learning curve
That's true when you're smoking you get that little curve from the audience
And if you are funny and they know you're stoning you start giggling they're taking the ride with you
You suck them into your fucking right. You suck them into your nightmare. It's true. You know, you really did
I don't do edibles before stage
But I will smoke pot like oh, yeah
Because like I told my wife the other day I go this is why I don't like the word sobriety
Because you're always living on a fucking I can't I can't I can't yeah
It's like the opposite of improv marijuana keeps me knowing that I'm dirty. Yeah
There is something wrong or real, you know, I have always I've always dreamt of giving up
Coke and alcohol and pills and all that shit
marijuana
It's never even crossed my fucking mind
Like I will smoke till they bury me unless I lose a lung or an eyeball
I'm the same way something was it hard for you in new york or did you be able to bring enough for the entire month?
I don't you find weed in new york. I brought
Fucked in two pounds of weed with me back there when I was there for the three weeks. Yeah
I had eight different types of weed. Oh hell yeah
You just put it in your back. Yeah, they don't care anymore 28 ounces
I brought two. Yeah
I bring a gym bag. You just dip it in the boxing glove
Oh, sure. So now you have two bags. So if they lose one, you got weed in one and I don't lose both of them
Yeah, that's my steep lap me a bag has something
You put them all in different places. Yeah, I don't I don't vape that don't work no
I don't like that. I don't like that. I'm gonna bring you a bag of vapes and I go
I still would have taken them and smoked them just because you gave them to me. No, but they don't
The vapes do something to me the first two of them in the mind
And then I'm spitting up the next couple days. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not a fan
Where do you see marijuana going in the future? Do you see tv shows? I mean, I've watched born up a tea. No
Nothing best
I mean, I I I saw a bus today that the whole rap of the bus was a cbd
Advertisement so it's going mainstream like it's it's gonna be huge. I think there's gonna be maybe even a weed channel
I wouldn't be surprised that there was a tv network or if it all just went online. It's really just when
mainstream advertising
And the people like that are willing to put their dollars behind
You know cannabis content on a mainstream level
Like what's like coke or like pepsi is going to be the first one to like back or sponsor
Something like that. We're really just kind of waiting and I think honestly if it goes federal
That's when we'll really start to see it on a different level
You know all over the place. I don't know. I think it was I don't know if we're both friends with mom on facebook
But yesterday someone posted a picture that some cbd company
Had like the time, you know how time square looked they'll have like eight different advertisements from the same company
It was a cbd company. Yeah, I mean, it's the future. It's everywhere
It's in our Walgreens that they're selling cbd at Sephora. It's my friend has a
Cush queen is that urban outfitters now? It's a cbd thc bath bombs. I'll bring you some for you or your wife if you guys take baths
Um
I'm a shower guy. Okay. Okay, but uh, I'm gonna sit in the bath and soak in the same dirt
I don't know. Maybe your wife. Maybe you're I don't know what you women like that. Yeah, we do believe
Oh, yeah, it's romantic. It's amazing. I think a bath. I whack off. I gotta go
Hell yeah, once it's float once I see that egg yolk floating in the fucking bubble
So why don't you just wait to jerk off because
Everybody wants to drip off on the water. Yeah, there you go. Well, let me just let you yeah
It'll be nice with the bath bomb. Where do you see your career going in that six months in the next six months?
Ooh, I'm what do you want to do next? Uh

I'm I know what I want out of this life. I wanted to stand up is my my main love stand up is my
Like I'm married to stand up, you know, and that's what I'm going to be doing to the day
I can't walk anymore on stage and then I'll roll myself

Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, having control
I've got to fly
My wings have sped so late
Down in a hole
