We're coming out the gate on a tuesday morning for starters
I want to thank you if you came to the stress factory
In new brunsett this week and you motherfuckers were off the chain if cameras were there. Fuck everybody
We would have a great special
But that's what made it better. No cameras were there. No nothing just you savages
It was great to see my family. It was great to see
Kids that I was 15 with uh, you know
We talked about robbing a van and we did a bunch of shits
He just said I love it one of my friends shows up and he sits in the front row
Now you guys can ask him if what the fuck i'm talking about is true and this kid was right
He didn't live next door to me. He lived next door to the next door
Okay, so him and I and his brother
God rest his soul
We fucking ran together every day
And he used to have a lot of acne and I remember one day he had a pimple above his lip
And it was a white head with a black head in it
And he bit into a hamburger and the pimple broke
You'll never forget that. Oh as long as I could live to be 180
Oh god
And I still remember that pimple busting like a little package of mustard
Right on his hip and he just ate it
Because he didn't know it that little mustard seed
I like 40 years later. He still can't live it down with him. I didn't say it
Oh, you didn't bring that out. His skin looked great. He looked great. That was in and out
It looked fucking tremendous
His skin looked tremendous. But at that time we
We would torture him all the fucking day. What do you call him?
I don't even know but he used to be funny
Like he was a naturally funny guy and we had a kid that had big ears
And I remember one day we were sitting there with stone to the gills
And the kid was very sensitive
And everybody would call him big ears and he would lose his mind
And my friend this kid Michael was doing something and I saw him take two albums
Out of their covers like two regular right, you know that you put on a photograph, right?
And he took a newspaper and he opened it up
So it was like a newspaper with us an album cover on this and an album on this side
And he goes who am I sabbatino reading the paper? Let me tell you something. We fucking died a laughter
But I told the story about my first me too experience
Which I had never told before it happened in 1979 so you can't press charges
What happened those come on me him?
Carlos Perez Dominic special on this other kid
My mother was in home
And we got fucked up on crystal thc aka angel dust divided by the square root
Divided by the square root. We drank a bunch of shit. We drank like a case of nips
In an hour and a half. That's eight beers a piece
There's like five of us. We drank like nine or ten beers
We did like a pint of southern comfort. We were felt good stuff and we smoked a bunch of dope
They were going to a party, right? But I had a crush on this lady
There was two girls in my neighborhood named the cartonelli sisters
Who were finer one was better than the other one the older one was engaged
The kid that was basically my brother, right?
And the other one was just a beautiful beautiful girl that dated a couple guys in the name
But I never had any sexual encounters. We grew up together
We were we were goombas. I really like Kathy
But our mother, you know, the apple don't fall far from the tree, right?
The mother was banging when I was 13
Yes, the mother like was the hottest thing on the planet to me like yeah fair of force. Yeah, those fair of force
Sure lad kind of look in yeah, but this motherfucker was in front of me every day
She had big real fucking titties and she'd wear a halter top
Oh, yes, and she had a flat stomach with shorts and she wear flip-flops
And her feet were always dirty, but she had
Two french poodles that were blind, right?
So she'd have to cross the street with them and put lame down on the park
Right and we'd be playing basketball and I throw the basketball over just so it slide next to her
So you could see her titties and you're at that age when you're just going home
Like I would see her tits and have to go behind the tree and bang one out
You're at that age where you just got a jerk off because you can't take it no more you got to bang one out
Outside
No inside in the mausoleum. Yeah outside like I mean that's how hot she was leaving you're 13
And you're a young man 13 14 you're going through a bag of fucking emotions and I came from a catholic neighborhood
Right, so it wasn't like girls were giving up shit and I wasn't looking to get it because I came from a catholic neighborhood
Right, so you're walking around, but you're you're inside to telling you something different
You want you want to fucking suck and you know, but you don't know about coming in mild jet and coming in people's eyeballs
You just want to crack a nut when you're 13, you know
So I mean I she was the the prettiest thing I had ever seen in my life. Was she single?
No, she was divorced. She was divorced like mr. Cardinale, but now she had if she was 37 36
Her husband was about 55. Well, he had Doremi. So but he knew how fine she was
Right, so he would sit on the balcony and watch her while she would walk the dogs
Right, and if you got too close to he would go hey get the fuck away from my wife because that's how fucking fine she was
So for a year I kept I mean I know since I was 10
You know, I developed around there, but she was just banging and there was no fake tits back then
That was 1975. So yeah, this happened this incident happened 79
She had big fucking juicy titties, but I also know there's something else that whenever I was playing basketball at night
And she would walk the dog her husband wouldn't come on the balcony
So this would be my chance to get her alone. So I'd really right so at night I would talk to I would go to the basketball courts
Just to watch her come out like a 1030, right?
And then I talked to her. How you doing miss cardinale? And we talk a little bit and I check around that night. She was even
Some night she just wore a bikini top. Yeah, great. Like she just had a great body guys
So I'm going through all this shit at home puberty bagging jerking off
And after about six months I said that's it
Like I've had enough. I'm fucking fey
Like I'm just I'm fucking fey. I don't know how I'm gonna do it
I'm fucking fey. I mean I was in love with her
So what I went out with those guys to my house. My mother wasn't home. We got fucked up
We listened to both sides of Led Zeppelin through
We were fired up
And they went to a party
And I went and hidden face bushes
Until she came down the stairs and I had like little flowers. You should not hire a bush. I swear to my mother's grave
Why would I like you you want the fucking truth? I'll tell you the truth. You're a kid. You don't fucking know
Flowers, you don't fucking know
That's why I think it's unfair
Listen if a producer that's 50 and you're 40 on the set
But if you're gonna come at me for something I did in college or high school
You're just learning your masculinity, right? If he didn't stick it up your ass and beat you to death with Paul
I don't want to hear it
You know what I'm saying if he grabbed your teddy and took his dick out in front of you when you're 18
He a man doesn't even know his masculinity. They don't even know that you get these feelings
You know, I think about it now because I wrote a joke about it one night. I was thinking about
You know, how hard it was for me at that age like
The hard-ons and the fucking
And the wanting to have sex but you can't because you're catholic
You know going to hell me like all that, you know, have a recti or would you forgive in or not?
Who the fuck knows? I mean, I'm just saying that you just feel like
You're in the middle of this thing, you don't know whether you could fuck or suck or be evil and then one day you go fuck it
I'll just start, you know sucking titties and talking about in confession
And then I would go to confession on Sundays and on Saturdays at five and you have to tell on yourself. You'd have to say like I
Yeah, like I suck some girls titties, huh?
Yeah, the Lord says you cannot fornicate to your marriage. You would have to fuck the ruling or go give me five our fathers
Go give me five our fathers. That's you suck at it for five our fathers. Fuck
I keep sucking titties and banging banging bitch
And then you just forget to mention it because what are you going to talk about it for?
Oh my god
So, you know, I was going through this thing and I was in love with faith. So I got flowers
Like a bouquet of like dandy lines like some bullshit bouquet and I just hit in the weeds
And I saw her come out with her hot pants and the flip-flops
And a little hall at the top and I didn't know whether to tackle
I was thinking about tackling and giving her the flowers because the dogs are blind
They're like on the bark. They're just going to be walking around like what's going on
You know what I'm saying? They got like little blind sticks
So I was creeping up on as you turned around
And she goes cocoa. What are you doing out?
And I go fade listen
I'm in love with you
And I just blew her mind like she knew me as a little kid. She's like what are you talking about?
Flowers in awe. I go fade. I just want to run away with you. You said that really? Yeah, I said those exact
Stupid words, you know, right? That's a good one. Listen. We don't even good line
We never like I never forget when I say it good when I say a good joke. I forget it
Yeah, it's when you say something stupid to somebody that reminds you for the rest of your life
Like you're sitting like I hope they don't remember in 83. Yeah, you run away with me. You drive you run away with me
And she's like, what are you talking about? I quite just run away with you and we'll go somewhere and I'll get a job
I'm like
I'm just gonna be with you. She's like, are you fuck? She didn't say that
She knew I was young and she's like, well, that's very sweet of you
She goes, what I'll do is this
If you if me and my husband ever have a problem
I will keep you in mind like she's just
Oh, okay. I was kind of surprised you didn't murder the poor guy. No, and I just stood there like beat red
And she took my flowers and I go for it. I really love you
And then she got it. She got it. I could tell I'm scared was she had that Harvey Weinstein's face too
She was a little scared, you know, I'm 13
And I like it. Can I kiss you?
And she goes, yeah, kiss me on the cheek and I kissed her on the cheek
And then I sat there for like three more minutes to stare it down
And she's like, are you okay? I want your clothes. I want your tits and I after she let me kiss her
My dick was hard. My face was red. You know, my blood was how tall were you 13 adrenaline? I was 5 10
Okay, and I fucking
Said the
Can I touch your leg?
Like that's my me too story. Yeah, and I bent all and I touched like right above her knee cap without her seeing
Yes, or she said yes. She said yes. She's like, yes
You know, like if it lets you go like type deal if it if it if this if touching my leg
Makes you get the fuck out of here
Oh, go ahead and I touched like above her knee cap
I felt oh, I re-sperm my head come out of my pants and I just ran home
Like fucking like steve's a guy you know
Like a fag
I ran the fuck home
And I just fucking here we go goop or like three days later. I'm like, I'm sorry. She's like, ah, that happens all the time
And that was it and then but
About two years ago. I'm at lunch with her son-in-law. Okay, and I go. How the fuck is fade though?
And he goes she's still 80 and she's still alive. She goes she lives with us

How would you tag that man just jump in there pull those diapers down? I didn't fuck it off. She's 88 who the fuck knows
What's going on with you? Not much man. Just uh, you look good. Thanks, man. You're working on your build
Yeah, I'm working on doing a few pull-ups and then I uh, you know, how's the program working? Program's working. Okay, you know, I
See here. I hit the meetings once in a while, but man
Just going to the meetings, you know, you just got to get the right one because I'm just sick and tired of hi
It's my birthday. You know those those kind of meetings and then uh, the ones I'm going to are just pretty good
I mean, you got the your regulars and stuff like that. But uh, you clean you're drinking
Uh, I'm clean but not drink. I'm drinking water. But uh, okay, you keep it away from the evil
Yeah, I can walk through where I'd ate pretty well, you know and just walk right past the liquor
But uh, why why do why do they have yellow caps, you know, always thinking why why don't they put yellow caps on vodka?
I wonder you know, just pondering just
You know, like how long you've been clean from the powerful
Shove, I would say
more than
I'd say over a year and how do you feel about it?
Well, I feel I can get up or more, you know, I get up early in the morning now
I noticed that this morning. You got me back at 8 35
8 35
But then I go back and take a little nap get a little surreal hit take a nap and then uh
And then I just uh, I get a heart on that. So I take the vitamins and stuff like that
You set me the garlic. I take the garlic. Yeah, three of those. How good are the farts?
Yeah, yeah, it's a tear gas. Oh my god. I farted on the other that is pork bastard
Right, and it's so I have you do was the thing for those Pablo. What's that?
I have you to thank for the garlic tabs the garlic tab. Yeah, but the older list, but no, no, they're not and they really work
Oh, after you can feel it when you sent me that I thought and the powdered that you sent me great
Thank you for the water. Yeah, who the fuck sends you
I know I had a case of the water. I got a case of water in the man. Who's who sends you water? Pablo?
That's the guy that this is the type of guy this motherfucker is
But the uh, I read up on the garlic and I gotta tell you something. I felt the results
You feel it after about three weeks later, right? I felt the results at kickboxing
When I have to do anything
Cardio, right? I feel that it
Uh, I always have I'm old and I smoke pot my lungs are in bad shape. Right. I always have uh
A fear the first 15 minutes. Okay after you do cardio when I'm well kickboxing
Okay, like if I'm doing the myths or something right the first three or four rounds
I have a weird feeling to me right and then the next three or four rounds once I get to the six of the seven
I loosen up right
Since I started the pills. I think I'm getting more blood flow. Yeah
Because I'm I have more endurance in the seventh and eighth and ninth round. Right. I'm kicking and punching harder
Right, so I could feel that I'm just not doing it for form
I'm actually feeling a difference. You feel clear. Okay, and then I watched that documentary the game changer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh, I've been really thinking did you watch it? Yeah, what did you think? Um
It makes sense. It makes sense. So the whole thing is that that plant-based diet
Really helps with your blood pressure and then all the stuff in the meat
it uh
It's it's it's it's very frustrating as someone who struggles with weight how they were saying like
Oh doctors, you just just say have chicken and fish and and even that's not really good for you. So it's like it's uh
It's amazing how how little we know and how how like
It can have that big of a difference like the blood pressure that they showed how it went down and
All that it's uh, and it was interesting how they were saying
Oh, well, we think we're meat eaters, but
Maybe they had the occasional meat, but it's most of the time was probably just veggies
and it's uh
I don't know. It's I like
It's kind of weird. It got me to think and they didn't really talk about this
But we're like the only like
Animals that eat for pleasure everyone else just see if you see a dog
They just eat what they're eating. It doesn't really matter
and where they were like meat tastes good, but
That obviously they had some negative things for you
I don't meet for me at my age at night. I feel it
Do I feel it the next day? No, I don't I don't know what the fuck people are stomachs full
I feel sugar the next day
I had dessert the other night for the first you know four four ways
We shared spoons and I had dessert
And I felt the sugar the next day. In fact, I felt the sugar that I had to go work out just to sweat it out a little bit
Yeah, you can take a long one besides that it uh
Feels really good. It's weird that
You haven't transferred because the whole thing about really ending up an addiction is transferring that addiction
Yeah, you can take it and put something in its place. Yeah
Uh
You know for me it was going back to working out, you know, like I like and I enjoy it
It keeps my powder dry. Right. It keeps my powder dry
Whether it's a half hour or an hour and a half a class
Hit in the bag at the Y just something that I could put the phone away. Right. That's that's
We're essentially escaping right when we're doing a 12 hour fucking run, right? I'm saying
So now I do little escapes. What's an escape not having any responsibility for an hour, right?
And that's you leave your phone in the car
I know my wife is home if something happens at the school or something's gonna pick the kid up
Right, that's peace of mind. Absolutely that little hour
Means so much in your life, you know, when you're a young comic
Your mind is
Obsessed right with succeeding and the industry and your agents
And then one day you turn to be 40 and you hear 15 20 years and you see as long as you
Stay active and stay true and keep writing. Right. You're always gonna have a job. Yeah, you know, you're always gonna have work and you got
some years
Becoming kevin hard is a lottery ticket. Yeah, you know
Becoming successful just being successful and happy
Is what you're striving for, you know, I'm saying to really have
I'm uh, like I told you in the beginning, you know, I got a lot of emails from people
Who are struggling with addiction, you know when they listen to the show
And they feel better it overcomes them if anybody had an addiction
He couldn't shake for a long time beside me. It's you. Oh, yeah, man. It was fun. It was
It was all about having fun, man for me. I didn't go my daddy
It was all about having fun with me. I mean the thing was I didn't have no problems
With my childhood, you know, my daddy and touched me my ass or anything like that
I just was basically having a good time and it just
Rolled over and my friends were you when you started drinking started drinking
15 years old
It was the first time he did a line of coke. Uh, I did a line of coke at my history teacher's house
he used to used to be a
Free enterprise in history at our house at our high school
And he ended up living down the street from us and we just partied with him
And I did metallica's master of puppets came out and I was like to my first line. I was like lips got numb
Teacher was there. It was all good. How old were you? I was uh, 16
Six fucking thing. Yeah, dude rat came out and it was just the best modeling crew just doing lines and just
Little potting lines all the time. I could take it too. I was good. I had a good, you know
Metabolism back there but then after a while man. Oh god going in this class stone and my god thinking you're gonna get busted and you're just like
Just looking around like that and your friends are looking dude your eyes are red
I'm like, oh god
And I was I thought I was gonna get busted in English class first first period
And I was just like my blazing. I was going. Oh my god. I got so stoned and everyone's looking at me going
Man, are you stoned man? If you look high and then the teacher comes and goes, you know what?
It's gonna be a movie today and the lights go down. I went. Oh saved saved by the whole thing. So
That's how I mean never got high in in high school, right only like with that one time
But on the weekends, I'll just go before this. What's the longest you've been cleaning before this?
Don't it's two years. There was one major relapse that time
uh
Found it in my house, you know, it was in between some books and just came out and just
had the day off and
It's been you know, a year and a half. Why not do a little bit maintain it? You know, I just
Did two days with it and drank. Oh my god tons of beer and then just
went back to sober again, but
You know just just doing a bomb right now. Who I'm like
I kind of use I'm trying to get caught in mouth with that kind of stuff, you know, it's so weird. I'm about
Two weeks away from not doing coke for 12 years. You know who I really two weeks away
Wow, you're counting that high
Good lord, man. Get for you man
When I was the old me, you know, uh
I think they told a story on
Ari and red bands podcast right about me slamming the computer on red bands finger
And I called Brian. Yeah, dad. I go, how do you know this Brian? That was my third month of sobriety
I was January
Of 2008 and we were at cobs comedy club, right and you know, I got clean like november
10th or something like that of 2007 would just blow just blow right just blow alcohol
You know, I wasn't I wasn't really a drinker. Right. My thing was that coke came by myself and how would you come down?
Just do you smoke weed? I smoke weed. I
Maybe a pill
Okay, whatever you had, you know, but the pills would take me somewhere else. It's funny
I watched dolemite last night. Okay, okay, and he says a line in the beginning of that
Direct the diner and he gets upset and he goes to his car
And he goes, you know, I've been here all this time and nothing has happened in my life and he goes
Whatever i'm selling all these buying right and the way he said it and the way he meant it
As a comic you get to that point, right? Yeah, well, you're like whatever i'm selling
You don't want to buy whether it's a script right my act
You know, i'm just fucking death, you know, and right he becomes you know for me that was uh
What made me quit like I was like
I either have to fucking
Do this or i'm they're not buying what i'm selling no more
Right, like yeah, i'm lucked out and picked up some movies and shit like that
But i'm not gonna pick them out anymore because the word's gonna get out
Right, right the word's gonna get out that this is a big problem
I had already had problems that settle along the shore and I
Had problems and I said this other movie I quit this
Job over, you know, and I could lie to everybody and say that yeah, I had another job
doing mountain dew but
I canceled that fucking movie that time and the people came to my house and I pushed the producer
That was all cocaine induced wow
You know that was all cocaine induced, you know, yeah, you know, I was going coke till six
You're gonna come bang on my door at nine. Oh, no, I'll stab me in the lungs and then when I tell you to go away
You keep banging on my door

The dealer's already called me twice because I didn't put the $50 in the saddle and took the coat
Right, you know, I need you knocking up my daughter go do a a fucking movie
Down the corner about the dumbest thing I've ever heard about my life, you know, the word's gonna get out
Yeah, I want you the word's gonna get out and
I didn't want it to get out and if it did get out, I wanted to correct it with those people
You know, right like after I got clean, I wrote a letter to adam like a year later, right and he put me in the movie
You know, I could write Adam a letter and next to dominant one of his movies school, man
Like a apology letter or whatever, right?
You know, but I'm at that whole incident and cops happened because
I was still running
A little shaky 90 days ain't shit. Right, right 90 days. This thing could turn in any minute. I know now
from talking to
Other people who have gone with who we've gone through that
It could change any day. So I have to check myself every day, right? I I've I've had it around
I know people have had in their pocket. Yeah, I know it's in certain places that I frequent
But it doesn't affect me. I can't think of going back to that line. Oh, yeah, it's uh
I can't think of first of all, I think I would die of a heart attack
Yeah, man, right off the bat like at this age
With what I've done and how hard I've done to repair everything the garlic builds the cardio, right?
I think that like this podcast would not
still be
In fact, if I was doing well, they don't know what people go a lot quicker
No, no, no nobody would show
This poor kid would still be here two years ago sitting here waiting for him who shows
When you're on coke, it's a 50 50. It's just a 50 50 chance. You're gonna show up. You're not gonna do it
You do any plans with me. It's 50 50. Yeah, and like so I know you now or at least I feel like I know you pretty well
And like you're
You're punctual you you get mad like, you know one other people you're very on your calendar
Like what do you what do you feel bad about it in the time? But you're just like, I can't leave the house right now
I'm too fucked up or
It's just yeah changes to the point where you think you could you can probably ninja to your way out of it
You know get out of the
In the situation, you know, you can probably blame it on traffic
But I I'd said stupid, you know had stupid excuses. Hey, man, my arm fell off
And I really believed itself. Hey, man, my arm fell off, but you know, you get sick all the time. It says, you know, I just remember
You know, there's a time where I could not sleep
Stop doing coke at four
And getting the car at six fifteen and go on a plane ride feel a little creepy at the airport
but this time went on
The addiction turned into something different and it got to the point
That if I was high till four
I wouldn't even leave the house. It's like I would call the comedy club and say I'm getting on the plane
I'm headed to the airport, but I wasn't even leaving the fucking house
I did it to about four or five comedy clubs
before they caught on, you know
I think I did it to Joe one time, you know, I mean
And you see how I am about comedy now and you're like, I can't see that
It wasn't me. It was
Whatever I was doing that was I mean the last year I canceled
eight gigs the friday
So like so let's say you were supposed to leave friday
Thursday night or thursday or on the day you're like, okay, I'm not gonna get high tonight
I'm not gonna get high and then at the last second you're like, fuck it. Fuck it. Let me go get a package
I'll be fine. All depends how good the show is, you know, if you if you rock you want to breathe up
No, no, no, but I'm talking about even getting down there. Oh get down there. I wouldn't even make it to the plane
Like I would leave and I'd have the owner of the club waiting for me at the airport
Calling me going, where are you?
My plane got delayed. We got
debunked to oklahoma
And now there's a tornado and they're still gonna go we'll come in tonight. We'll replace you tonight
Coming for tomorrow
And I would still make up a story like
It was that bad and I think of my life now, you know, if you made it
If you made plans with me to see me at one in the afternoon
It was all 50 50
Even even on the day. Yeah, I didn't do it in the daytime
But when you wake up at eight
And you have the depression from the night before
Or you go to bed at eight in the morning I go to bed at eight
You know, I would I would the last year I would stay up until Terry would wake up to go to work
And then the last half hour she would that was just faking that was sleep where my eyes closed
Meanwhile, my heart pounding in the fucking bed and she's getting ready around me
And as soon as she would leave I was like it was like a breath of fucking relief
I could open my eyes and jerk off one more time and
Try to fall back to sleep. So I don't I don't I don't dread those things
I don't dread
fucking over people
Because that's the only part towards the end. You're fucking yourself over
But more or less you're fucking people over
I mean and it just this isn't just
Myself, you know, I heard he'll tell you I think he'll tell you I already will tell you the last year
The last day of crashing he just didn't show
You know
Rest in peace. I love them with all my heart. I mean, it's well documented
And this is where our fucking world falls apart at the end of the phoenix
Would disappear for three days
Come back and pay for the production
I know a friend he did it to his movie
And he gave 120 000 for the day of production
And I know for a fact he did a movie in New Orleans
and he
went out and
supposedly somebody slipped them pill in his
At the strip club they couldn't get a hold of him. He had to pay for the whole day of production on a schrumpen movie
250 000
You know, that's your nature to disappear
I would disappear for three days leave where you could and there was no cell phones
in the 80s
You just call the house, right?
I don't really disappear. Is there a way to describe it to someone like I'm trying to like
Because to me the only I I can't even I can't even wrap my head around it. Who's an attractive?
Let's just say cake quickly. Okay cake quickly. Okay, friday you go out
You get your paycheck for 800 for two weeks
And you go out and spend 500 on coke a bag
Because joey's supposed to buy
split it with you
But I got fucked up and I performed and spent the money from that coke
So now you're stuck with the whole seven grams
And you go to the comedy store and hold your bump into cake quickly. She's got a dress on
You could tell she's got a thong on you got two lines in here
So cake quickly is looking completely different than what she looks like to you now
Great quickly is now your friend. Yeah when you look at her on cocaine. She looks like a victim
like she's just an ass she's just uh
When uh, what do cheaters go after? Yeah, those because Ellen pray. Yeah, that's what she is
She's just pray
So now let's pretend you went to Pablo. Mm-hmm. You said Pablo. Give me that seven grams on the arm
I'm gonna sell it to joe Diaz. I'm gonna make a profit
So now even though you got it in your pocket and you're gonna make a profit on joe Diaz and you still are Pablo 500
You don't look at Kate. I'm just using Kate as an example because everybody knows that
She's a pretty girl. I could use a thousand other girls, but
She's coming with whatever
You know, they got a thong on they bent over
Do you know they do coke you give them a package you make them go to the bathroom
They do two bumps. They come back. They tell you the coke is great
And then they come back give you two more now. It's three in the morning now
What we're gonna go I live in studio city and I got another seven grams of that
Kate quickly or whoever it is gonna come up there with you. Yep
Now the first gram that you do you're okay because you're in profit
Yeah, yeah, right. You're just losing a little profit. You still got Pablo's money tomorrow
But next you know, you talk Kate to taking the top off and you want to do two bumps off of tits
She's not pretty soon
Fuck fuck joey's Pablo
Now we're moving on to fucking Pablo's money
Even though you and Pablo are best friends you grew up with Pablo
That addiction makes you tell Pablo to go fuck himself
Even though in real life, you would never tell pop pop was your best friend
And joey's your best friend, but you're just selling your soul right now for Kate a pussy and that cocaine
Now, you know how long that lasts to do all that coke?
Friday from three in the morning
To saturday night at six in the morning
Yeah
So you guys pretty basically staying all afternoon. Maybe go for a walk to get beer
Right and go right back to do that coke every 20 minutes
And talk shit fuck suck
Whatever you gotta do now sunday morning
Kate you wake up at two in the afternoon. Kate's gone
You look at your phone. You got six missed messages from
Pablo joey hasn't caught joey called last night because he got money the night before
So it's you give up so much
For this addiction like you sell for a lot of effort into nothing
It's a lot of effort into nothing
And besides fucking your friend now you gotta go face Pablo
And make up a lot of Pablo that the cops pulled joe over and took it
Bitches took it or shit. You got no money and you're paying $50 a week for 18 weeks
What you've you've talked to me or to told stories about times when
Like when you didn't even want the girls to come over. So it's just you by yourself
It was out. There was a point where
The because the addiction keeps growing. That's what people don't understand. Pablo's clean a year
But inside of him that addiction is growing. Oh, yeah, if he that's why so many
Well, I'm lying to you like when people go back to heroin they shoot the amount they were shooting
Before they went to rehab
And they got a heart attack. They OD because it was their uh, the tolerance went low
You know your tolerance goes lower and lower
But your desire for keeps growing keeps growing. So when you're an addict as as they describe an addict
You know, I hear a lot of words when people describe addicts
Can't describe addicts they describe disease
But in my world, I was an addict
Okay, I was an addict. I would wake up at eight in the morning
First thing I thought about was coke. The second thing was comedy
And how was I gonna get the money for the coke to do the comedy?
Even cocaine company
And that's that's an addict. That's an addict
And guess what I have the rent money, but the rent's not due to the fifth
So even though it's the 29th and I got the rent money, I'm good till monday, bitch
All bets are off and guess what it's halloween thursday
I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna stay clean for halloween. I'm buying an eight ball and ten quailoos just to start the party off
And that's how you think that's how you think
So I know I was sensitive at the 90 day mark
I'm trying to think back to
because after
You know, I spoke to burp two days ago and I said, how's it going?
And he goes, I feel good and he said something that made me very happy. He goes
I think I'm gonna give this a shot
Yeah, I really want to give this a shot. I'm feeling that much better
You know, do you feel the change? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Why do you see changes? I started enjoying, uh
Going out and uh seeing, you know, I like taking long walks now, you know, check out the neighborhood
I'm getting into
More of the animals out there. I know it sounds crazy
But that's I'm recognizing a lot of things that I missed when I was growing up, you know
Just the the reaction of people and how they talk to each other sometimes sometimes I would just stay in my room
Just watch tv and get on the internet. But uh
I feel I feel more strength, you know, I feel more more it definitely builds up your confidence. But uh, it's uh
You go back and you see your friends still doing it, you know, and they're they're older than you and
And they still, you know, pull out a bump. It's like it kind of trips me out because one man
I go if you can still you still keep it in a file, you know, you still do that little bump and yeah, man
but they just still they continue they stand one spot but
They get more they get more aware about how it had some good times on it had some bad times on it, right? And uh
They still have a fight about how they screwed up and they always say it's not coke or pot
But I felt a change in it in a a more responsible, you know, I can
And uh spoke a lot of cigarettes. So that's not too too good. But uh other than that, man, I feel
I feel that I'm having my shoes go by quicker, you know, I don't have to feel like I'm struggling through them
And are you bringing a sober part number down the road? Yeah, it's easy. Yeah, I bring a fairy diamond
No, fairy diamond goes with me on the road
Is he really? Yeah, he's great. He's fantastic. Man. We're playing Ontario this week
but uh
Is he sober? Oh, yeah, he's completely sober man. How old is Barry now? I don't know what I don't know how old he is, but uh
Good guy. No good funny, dude. Good guy. Hilarious
First time I saw him was in that movie with Tom Hanks. Oh, yeah, that's the part. That's the party and I fell in love with him
I know he was a wild man and right you see him up at the store and uh
It's a wild wild. Yeah, he's got he's still a wild man
But uh, you know for me
I think the first two years I was on egg shelves until I could
Actually believe that I was clean
Like actually believe like this is not right. I have you know more than 18 dollars in my atm account
I
Get up early in the morning
You said the word confidence. I started counting on myself. Right. Yeah
So the more I could count on myself
The better I could make myself like I figured out everybody in LA
You have a meeting with with somebody at Jerry's diner
You're 15 minutes late. Everybody else is 20 minutes late
And people are like, oh, sorry the traffic. Well, bitch, you grew up in LA, right? You should know that you grew up in LA
And my responsibilities to be there, you know, so I started getting sharper and those things right. Yeah
I grew balls back. I wasn't an addict anymore. Right. So when you told me to go fuck myself now
My first reaction used to be go for an hour. Go. You know what? I'm gonna end up in jail and then I can't snort
So let me just walk away from this situation. We made
Which didn't make me look bad. It made me feel bad because I should have choked those fucking guys for saying that to me, right?
You know, I realized that
I wasn't an addict no more. That was a man again
You know, I'll make a statement to people. I didn't become a man till I was 44
When I made the decision to get out of my life like that was when I became a man. I didn't know it till like 47
But all these little things I would made me better, you know, and
I want the same for you, you know, and that's why I want you to come on the podcast every six weeks and report
Yeah, man, this will give you something even if you realize we don't give a fuck man. He gives them, you know
I tried to quit from
I think I started quitting in 2004, right?
You know for anybody who knows anything about quitting drugs or whatever
If you do a gold cult turkey, god bless you
But I started quitting like in 2004 right by 2007. I was on heroin
And I'm like this shit ain't really working. Yeah, my system isn't working
So I have to figure out another system
Wow, I knew rehab was not the answer. Right. I knew at that level rehab was not the answer. Very expensive. I knew that
Uh, people had gone in and out of rehabs and I figured out something one day that was just amazing. I go, you know what?
When you watch Carlitos white, right, he says that he had a counselor in prison that told him that
You know, you could run and run and run but one day he thought that you just can't run them
right and
You know the life I was living
It was running every day. I was hustling a package. Really, you know, so a coke trying to make this
You know, it's stressful. Right. It's stressful. That's too much stress
Oh, yeah, I got to think about too much to put on too much to think about too much energy
They're gonna be there. We're gonna not be there. Will I make my set?
Right, you know, you call the guys and meet your 7 11 and magnolia 8 30 you got 9 15
And fucking ox not, you know, you really make yourself allow that
You're gonna meet him at 8 30 and make it to ox not in 10 minutes like shit like that. Yeah, all thing you're late
I'll never forget doing something towards the end. That was the improv's got really pissed at me
Like the improv's had heard bits and pieces of what I was doing
But one night they gave me a chance. I forget the guy's name fred ed
Okay, was it the oxner or was this is
Ontario, okay
He was one of the oldest or something of marketing a senior vp. Okay. He was an older guy hanging around the improv's
I don't think he liked me
You know as it was and I had gotten the longest yard and they were trying to
The you know, I spoke to
Hartman one day, right?
You know, he said, okay, we'll start giving you break off nights whatever
He came through Hartman came through and they gave me a Wednesday and Thursday
at the Ontario improv and all I had to do was
Wednesday and Thursday and do radio Thursday morning, right?
Oh
No, I'm lying to you. I had to do they wanted me to go into Ontario. They got me a hotel
Yeah, get your hotel on a Tuesday, right?
And they wanted me to get up for radio Wednesday and Thursday, right?
You did you like to get a two-piece or Wednesday? Yeah, usually it's yeah both and
I drove from hollywood to Ontario
checked in
Went to my room set up the sleep at the machine the whole thing
Lay down
Ready to go to sleep. I said I need a bump
And I got back in my car drove the hour 10
To hollywood right got a package right and drove the hour 10 back to Ontario
And I stayed up till eight. I didn't get back to Ontario till midnight 12 30
You know how to stop me in those days. I'm stopping get one beer
Oh, god, like just one beer to kill the initial bump and then I go on water after that, right?
And I you know the radio guys were outside calling. I'm not answering
The hotel's banging on the door. I got the lock. They can't open
Yeah, I think I just I'm sick. I got the flu, but they knew what time it was
I ended up having like 24 people there on Wednesday
12 on Thursday and I got a call like a week later like
Lose our number right like the fucking improv is always lose their number
Like, you know, like this type of shit like this and this is like february of 2000s
Yeah, we're connected 20 years ago. I was worried I couldn't open ferrogan at the improv
But they were like no, no, no, you could open you still show your balls. No, no, no at that time. No
and they were like
They were like, you know, it's so funny how
You do something a couple times and people go crazy over it
I stopped showing my balls in like 2002, right? Once I got mad tv. I can't be showing my balls. Let's go to the clip
Yeah, I showed my balls and bray, uh
I would take I would open up my zipper and just let my balls hang out. No, I couldn't believe it
Yeah, people would go nuts. Yeah
Some people would watch they go for a minute
And then they would just go like what that almond milk
No, I would just let the two balls out. Can you imagine what would happen if you did that now?
They throw you under the chair
And you know, this is just to show you how crazy I was
There was a video of me that rogan and christin wire made
Of me jumping through rogan's poster
And I was naked and I would dance and they shot them brayer
And the old brand the movie. Yeah the movie theater. Yeah, and oh my god
I gotta call that Tuesday from the improv like are you fucking nuts?
You shot it right under the improv sign
Like I was just, you know, it was like one disaster
After another right those that is the scrap no result of an addiction
It's that your life is a fucking zigzag
So you know you get flat ties. Yeah, you you just you know, you get the curse of bad
Plains planes change at the last minute, you know, it's not your fault
But then sometimes you've got to change them yourself and they don't believe you
Yeah, no, no, no, and then everything that could happen is going to happen
Right. So on top of what I'm creating in my life
Life is not throwing curveballs down my fucking throat
No, you know
You plan on is this what you want to do? Yeah, that most definitely man. I want to get into you know
Whenever I come to right now, I'm just saving my money. How old are you now? I'm 50 years old, you know problem when I saw that
Documentary for Rachel. Yeah, and it said that he got sober at the age of 60
My heart stopped
Like oh my god, I can't do this don't 60 no no no way man
Like yeah, I think I don't know what the age was somebody check it for me
Or whatever what, you know at the end it said that he did heroin to the age of 60 something
You know that that petrified me like I just had a lot of signs right of that telling me to stop the race, you know
Yeah, religion gets involved too
You know he's thinking about you know your life and you're the older you get and you're gonna key
Or you're gonna still be doing this and you know, you see your friends do I see my friends do it and I've
you know, I'm drinking
You know, it's like oh man, I'm back to same, you know going back to that same
Lifestyle sometimes I just got well that's the next topic. We've got a couple the next topic that I had to
Change I was just talking to somebody last night about this
My brother was on the phone with me
And he asked me some questions about some shit
About a particular person or something like no, I haven't spoken to that person in years
And he asked me why not and I said because
My relationship with that person
Was strictly cocaine right buying no, I wasn't buying it wasn't a dealer
It was a chemical somebody I had grown up with or
Somebody I had known chemical friendship and I said to him, you know, it's weird
And I hate to say this on the podcast, but
Someday you'll have to do it when it's a
you know
You you know how they say you have growth spurts
When you're a kid
Yeah, okay
Like Dennis Rodman had like a seven inch growth spurts when he was 19 years old. Oh really? Yeah
It's the weirdest things we have growth spurts in life. Okay
Part of that growth is looking around, you know
And in 2007 I actually had a look around
When I got off the coke and see who was working right and who wasn't working what was working and wasn't working
It's a tough decision to make right especially when you're a person like me that cares about his friends
Right, but you also have to care about your future. This is what I want to do right
So these don't don't worry about it. I in 66
He got clean at 66. I know in 66. I'm just trying to see how old he was
Well that he died like when in 80
We Charles
I'm not sure. Oh, yeah at 66. Yeah, I guess
He got clean at 66 years. I think so. I'm I'm gonna talk about something like that 64. Don't worry about it
Just to prove I just didn't want to be that
I knew that if at 64 if I was still doing coke, right? I saw a joe Diaz with no hair
No teeth
You know, I saw a joe Diaz that was 400 pounds
I knew nothing would get better, right? So
I that's when I started thinking about being getting sober trying right, you know
Like how the fuck can I live a couple lives? Like I have a couple friends now that are hitting our age, right?
And they're still drinking like, you know, yeah 1988
and
They have no successes in their life. I could tell they're not happy
Some of them we just fell by the wayside, right?
Because a lot of things what happens now also is that people like hey, man
I was tight with you for years doing commie and now I'm not even in your fucking world
Right in your radar anymore. I'm still like an open miker
that's why I lost them because
We just don't really
You know, you lose them, but there was
two things for me to get clean, right and
There was a point with comedy
But I said I gotta take all these people out of the roller decks, right? They just they just bring me down
Three people
Like the name but I wouldn't because there was like three agents in particular, right three people who
Had all the potential to help me here. I was friends with them
I was kissing their ass
I would work hard for them or whatever and we weren't getting nowhere and one day I said, you know what?
Not only am I not gonna work with them no more
I'm cutting them out because they're the kiss of debt. They got this guy on the roster
Or this guy on the roster, you know, I don't want to be at the same roster as screech
Yeah, you know, so who do you got Joe Diaz Pablo and screech?
I'll call you back tomorrow. You know, I just
For me to make these leaps in life
You have to leave some luggage behind right and sometimes luggage is people
Sometimes you can't take those people. You can't take them with you and even though you love them, whatever
You party, but it's the only thing you have in common. Yeah, that's why that's it. That's it. That's it
It's like
Right, I'm doing nothing. Right. I'm not coming over. Yeah, all I'm getting a call is for this and
That's the rest of the time
And I lost, you know
20 20 of those people. Oh, yeah, okay
and
People that I actually loved that I still think about today and I
I know they're still doing it. It's not like kids. I grew up with nothing like that
It's people that I met along the journey
That every time I would go to Pittsburgh, they would show up with an eight ball
Every time I would show up to an Asheville, they would show up on an eight ball every time I showed up to Atlanta
They would show up on an eight ball every time I showed up into Miami. They brought. Oh, yeah
After ship, you know, there were certain people in every market that I had that
Like and it was rough to say them
No, I'm coming in I'm going out
And they're like, well, am I gonna see you? Not really
Well, don't you want a party? I got this chick that lets me fuck her in front of people
I really don't you know, I had all that creepiness. Yeah
I had a pound of creepiness, you know, it's not even peer pressure. It's like it's just if I mean they expect, you know
Hey, listen, I'm going back to the hotel. They can't even take that it's no
I had this success of
The only success I had was in finding cocaine. I was like a successful treasure on
That's the only success I ever had. There was a period there where
I would bump into cocaine even if I didn't want it. It was like a curse
Wow, like you really want it. We're gonna give it to you
So everybody I met had coke
I go to an airport get a flight delay and the guy next to me would say you want a bump
Tell me you don't have a bump. Not only do I have a bump
I gotta have found some it would delay for nine hours
You know, I got a thousand of those stories getting delayed in Aspen
in Denver
And having to put your coke in the locker
What and then put taking like a grandma at the time
I'm gonna go to the bar and snorkeling those days the airports didn't close. Yeah
The bars were open 24 hours in an airport till five. They were closed for one hour
They were closed for one hour for the janitor to come and wipe down the bar and steam it
Another bartender would come and see you would buy six beers and just sit there until 6 a.m
God, those are the those are the day those were the days your flight's at eight
You're gonna sleep on the flight. You're gonna get sleep on the flight. I mean, it was crazy. It was a crazy world
But uh, so like
A year in
How often are you feeling the urge to be like fuck it? Let's just get some more coke a year in you're still skittish. Are you skittish, mom?
Are you skittish? Yeah, I get skittish. You know big time, man
For me, listen, I'm gonna be honest with you. And this is because
Everybody works differently
Do I believe in the 12 step program? I fucking do 100% right? Absolutely whether it's food
whether it's gambling
Whether it's you know, why because
You get to be around people who have the same problems or you and they have the answers right to your questions
One of those persons one of those meetings
It's gonna get so I have the answer to your questions. Trust me
I went to a thousand those meetings. I didn't want to go to
If I tell you that sometimes I was bored. That's the truth
But I gotta tell you that sometimes I took some great info out there
Yeah, first of all, I stopped feeling pity for myself because
Even though I was homeless this motherfucker lost an eyeball
You know, he did so much coke his fucking nose collapsed. Oh guy
You know, I mean, so when you go to you know, you know playing a kazoo right through his step down when I went to
One of the first times I went to weight watches, right? The girl said to me she goes if you think these are bad and holly would go to
the
Control groups they call them or something. It was like on Wednesday night. It wasn't a woman's group. It was like a weight watches
group
Fucking I went down there
And I was the fattest guy in the room when I felt good when I left because I heard people crying
And I could tell that these people go home at night and he's a whole bag of cool. Yeah
Like they're crying even though they go home. I don't know what we're doing. You know what you're fucking doing
You're going home at night. You're in the whole box of fucking donuts. That's what you're doing, you know
And you you know, so going to a 12
Step I think is great for anybody. It wasn't gonna work for me
Like I knew I wasn't gonna go to the meetings
I knew that one day I'm gonna get up and go fuck all you motherfucker. Yeah
I just worked the 12 steps without going to meetings. I did the evaluation. I did step four, right?
I did all those things, you know, I gave myself up to a higher god
You know, once I started doing those things I started doing those things in my life
I took those 12 steps and I worked them
In different aspects of my life again, right? You can't apologize to everybody
Right, but you get apologized to most people and they'll take your apology and that takes a ton of weight off
You know, I'm big time, you know, you know, I called all those club owners that are probably still waiting for me at the airport
Yeah, but it's uh, it's keep the club open till nine. Tell them that the show you take my week's pay man
You just it's just crazy. I remember guys going so are you gonna be here or not? I would be playing with them at this point
Yeah, yeah, my pain's coming to the day 40. All right, we'll push the show back till nine
Just cancel you can't be this dumb
Once the guy's not there before cancel, right? But go go go
Tomorrow night. Sorry people. We'll give you a 15 back. We'll give you a coupon off
To come see Ralph Carey play the drums or whatever the fuck it is
How long did it take you to earn that trust back for some of those clubs?
50% of those clubs aren't even around. Oh, okay
Okay
The other 50% it took a while it took a while it took a while it's showing up with other people
Sorry, you're not gonna hire me anymore as a personal thing
But if I see paul blows down now come down and when paul blows down, I won't drink
I'll do 20 minutes for paul blow and I'll get my car and go home
And it took about two years and then the guy from then
From the improv call me like in 2009, right?
And he said will you start a room here and I go well that mad at me and he goes I'll take care of that
And the rest is history. There was never a problem there anymore
Once I got off the coke
It's crazy how like something that's so
Like just a night can like fuck up years of your life. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's uh, heavy stuff sometimes those nights
You know could be a manager just starting and he's giving out refunds, you know, he's like that too much
and uh
Yeah, it's just um
Your word and your promises you make to these guys just about you know, I'm gonna be right there and then you don't show up
Yeah, it's
It gets um and we do a tough job not again. I'm not patting myself in the back
uh breaking my hand to pat myself in the back, but
We go to a place that's called the road
And the road is a great place to do comedy and for musicians and stuff
But it also has a lot of pitfalls
Yes, tell you what pitfalls pitfalls are
you know
me
Pablo
Artie Lang
Once the word gets out that you party people come to those shows with the intention
You can say anything you thought of party on the radio. You can just say get some theorem off. Yeah, yeah
You know, I've had people say to me I've been on the road for 20 years
And not one time have I gotten coke
Talk about it on the radio
Good I haven't done coke in four days, but I'm ready to rock them everybody'll laugh and giggle
But there's some motherfucker at the house going. I know exactly what he's talking about. Absolutely. Yeah
I'm going down there to bring him some shit to kill his wig
The next thing you know, you know and women
You know women show up with coke with drugs or whatever
You know, and I've had road stories where your tunnel dropped women who've shown up with dates
Yeah, and have combination drugs too. You get crystal in there
Yeah, they'll say in that box like fucking buster rhymes, man
Drop drop this fucking thing off and come back and get here with coke and it's you see addiction
Like I sit here thinking about it now, you know, I always tell my book agent. I want to write a couple books
I got a couple books in me because it took me and I think every addict has this that they look back at their drug use
And go I could write a book. Yeah on the steps of the detox
You know, it's like when you quit smoking say there's a guide somewhere
I think it's online
The seven first days what happens within 24 hours. You don't smoke cigarettes. What happens between 24 hours 74 hours
A week three months nine months 12 years. They tell you what happens to you. Do you think
you saved
Like I know I know for a fact Pablo that when I went up on
When I got high the night before
Mike call me on stage the next day would also be 50 50
I felt that disconnected. Yeah, it's uh, it does take it away. Sometimes man. That's it's kind of spooky
It's I try to think about it and then like it would take it away
Just when I would get on stage and then I get it back, but
Yeah, I started finding out that uh, I couldn't uh
You know stay my couldn't last too long man
I'm gonna do like 20 minutes, you know when I'm supposed to do a half hour or whichever but uh,
You know, it's just good god man and forgetting a lot of things, you know, and you ever get high and go on stage
Oh many times in the night before. Oh, yeah many times. I had to get good stats
But you know, did I have a good set? You know, sometimes I just go up there and just tell the jokes real quick
Jumping the topic the topic spinning around get an idea write it down
So I had other friends that were doing it too with me, you know on the road and uh, you know, it would be
It'd be like, uh, we challenge each other, but then we drink
and it was just a
game of just
You know that it was in a game. It was just partying in june shows, you know, it's like
It's incredible the people you meet there. They come right in the green room. They start partying
He's gonna let them do it
But like you know, you you're on stage during the first show. Man, I know they're doing bumps back there
You know in the second show comes. Okay. I want to do bump with them and then everything starts changing
So how's your life changing the last year save money?
I got money now, but uh, and uh,
What else, you know, just
My health is better, you know, I've got more strength and uh
You know
The idea is coming a little bit more clear, but uh, than that man. It's just I'm still smoking cigarettes, you know, so
Just listen, listen, we all can't be on a percent perfect. Yeah, but yeah cigarettes. Okay, just remember listen
Cigarettes don't make you cancel a gig
Cigarettes don't make you get a jet get a jet, you know to cigarettes don't make you do a lot of things that cocaine would
You know the impulse
That you get from doing coke like right now
Between you and I I still have
three or four qualities left
from doing coke
That and I haven't done coke in 12 years
like after effects
That sometimes I laugh when I'm doing you know
I have more control now my
My body and my mind
I see sometimes that you have still after
Effects like there's still some reason to
Not with your speech, but uh with yeah, yeah with my speech my speech
I find myself, you know, yeah, but I was I was always like that since I was third grade, but uh
It's uh, I'd have noticed that, you know, I still haven't articulated some of my
My language. No, it takes time. Yeah, I know that sometimes with your speech and with your
Uh, I have the same thing the same little manic
Yeah presence that you have because I noticed it
Yeah, people you're making people nervous. I go man. I'm feeling good right now. I'm you know journalized, but uh
Yeah, it's yeah. No, it takes it takes it takes a while to lose all those. Oh, absolutely
Listen, man. I'm happy you're putting it together. That's what I want. Thanks, man
You know, there's a lot of people
That listen to these podcasts and they get different things from them
You know, I think this is the the one that hits home the hardest with this podcast
Is when people come on here and share their struggles to let people know that we put our pants on one leg at a time
I don't ever want this podcast
When I listen to a podcast and I feel like I'm getting talked down to me. That's the end of my podcast
That's the end of this podcast. I've always wanted this podcast
To let people know that
You know, it's like when motley crew got clean, right? They went on the road with uh
Sober coaches and right the guys cook meals soon, you know, that cost $5,000. Oh, yeah, man big time
That cost $5,000 a day
So for somebody who right now is in ohio and is eating opiates
The way joey, you're not doing nothing good for me
I mean, you're talking about if I sat here and said caught david rafael. Yes, you know
You know, he'll go everywhere with you and hold your hand
Not everybody's financially strapped. Oh, absolutely to do that. I know a coach from here right now that
Is in new york
With you know, and he tells me these situations. He's a soba coach a professional
Six-figure a fucking yeah
gangsta
Okay, but him and I have hard tarts
Right, so in fact, I know two guys one of them is a comic, but I don't really know him as well
I have hard tarts
But the thing he tells me the most about his soba coaching is
It's like anything else. He gets a lot of uh
His biggest age group is 19 to 25. Okay, and it's rich parents. Yep
rich parents that
Not that they've given up on the child
but
The child has put them through so much over the last five to 16 car crashes
Yeah, that theft whatever credit card, you know, that he got they just want to a breather
And they have these soba coaches you go to a meeting with every day
And then sometimes he drops a urine on you. Yeah, he drops a urine on you. He cooks for you
He trains you. I mean this guy gets big money. Yeah, you know, he started here and now he's like nationally known, you know
so
But not everybody could afford that, you know, oh, yeah, so
You've been I don't know how many react four or five. Yeah four or five
They never really seemed to work. They just slow you down a little bit. Yep
They just slow the process down
And you learn what to tell them to get yourself out of it. Oh, yeah
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's expensive Betty Ford turned into barely afford. Yeah barely afford and
You know, you learn what to tell them to get out of there, but you and I both know
That you you're gonna have Chico pick you up and he's taking you at the first spot you're going to
May not be the first spot. Maybe you'll get some tacos first to get the proper nourishment
But the second spot you're going to
Is to fuck in my man's house to pick up a package. How do I know because I've done it?
You know, when I was in the halfway house, I would have to go see a drug counselor
I blow smoke up his ass for an hour, right?
And I remember still going right from there the drug dealer's house. I'm going to this motherfucker
You celebrate because you went to the yeah, this guy didn't work today. You know, I went to acupuncture
To deal with cocaine issues. I told her the truth in the beginning really and every week
Needle in you. Yeah
She'd stick a needle in me
Oh, yeah, that you would you would take it to go
It was a needle that would stick staying you for three days. What goes in your nerve your cocaine nerve in your earlobe
It's like a staple and she would leave it in there and it would fall out after three days
We just click and I still remember
Snorting coke and be playing with it like going lord, please
Take this feeling away and I would do a line of coke and
Fucking hold on to my ear and but really in a way I learned about acupuncture
Because if I was you Pablo, I'd go to acupuncture. I'll tell you what
Because acupuncture helps you build up your cheek
And if it helps you a little fucking chakra zones and it builds up your cheek
It was just a cheek. There's times I sit there at night
And I go, how the fuck
Did I get clean?
I'll tell you what else I still have from my cocaine days. What's that the 8 p.m anxiety
From 7 45 you go would you get paranoid you get about 8 20?
I get into a weird mood
Well combination of death and no no I just get into a
I get itself agitating
That's a little a little effect from my cocaine days because by 8 20. I wanted to know I had it
Oh, I was gonna get it or it was on the way or it was in my pocket. Well for me to rest
So till this day from
7 45
To 8 fucking 20 at night
That's when is it? I just don't get an aggravated like if my wife gets up from the living room too many times
I thought
This is because you have an open window during that time you could probably just don't know
That's the only and it's not like I'm getting up to go get blown. That's the least of my problem
Nothing like that. No
Nothing like that
Just it's the old anxiety. I would get
Ready to sit with the coke. You know, I'm not gonna pick up the coke at 10. It's new years
You're uh, it's new years. You're you're 20 years old. Right. Okay. You're eight. You're 19
What's the difference between new years when you're 19 new years with your 30?
You don't start drinking at two in the afternoon, right? You know as I and so it's like
I would start getting excited about cocaine accorded a once I knew
We picked it up from Pablo. It's on the way to the comedy store
Unless he gets hits blindsided by a truck. Oh my god. I'm getting my cocaine
That's it. My sweaty palms wouldn't be no more
I get in the shower happy. I'd wash my balls good
But I know I was getting my package. Can't you rumble and take care of that anxiety? Yeah
Do you write every day about your
Progress, uh, you know, I don't stand you a journal. I don't do that. I just I think it's time Pablo
Maybe I should but I hate that, you know, I look like you know
What it was a jeopardy contestants, you know, I just draw like that, you know, I can't I pen it. It's just bad type it out
No, you don't even type it out right here with your hand like you're in the sixth grade
All right, today is my fucking today
Here cocaine today

Yes, it's our last encounter. Yes. I like your joy. There's no lying in you. They're right
Can't say that's the rest of your
Organization, okay talking about Omar Suarez. You really got a good place
Okay, yeah, so
What a little scarface action, you know, but uh, yeah, you know a lot to watch car face either
You can't watch car face. Can I watch Carlitos way? There right was because you might go
Because you might go off the fucking deep end with Tony's, you know, even a lot
No, I don't even want you standing next to people with white suits on
Oh, I'm saying because you never know. All right. You might get a flashback from vietnam. Yeah, you know, keep me posted
I want you on the show every six weeks. Okay, man
If you relapse you let us know because
You're our own little human experiment right on man. Our goal in the church is to keep Pablo sober
There you go. So from now on every time you do a show, there'll be a church representative. They're reporting back to me
