Bowden what's the story what's up Joey showed up with you clever shit long you
know I'm gonna represent in church you know I'm gonna represent in church I
yelled at him last week that was the best cuz it really pisses me off Alonzo
when you came on the first time you showed me I forgot what it was to be a
fan again I really did bro yeah what it was to go to a baseball game with a
glove right actually think you were gonna catch a ball yeah I used to go to a
neck game with a basketball like why would you take a basketball to that's
how I started gambling on sports yeah and you look at sports is something
different now so now that you don't gamble you don't watch sports and you lose
that you lose that you know like when you watch college basketball when you see
the kids paint their face you know you're sitting at home go look at that
fucking asshole fuck you no my kids having the best day of his fucking
life that kids yeah especially best day of his life especially college ball the
thing I love about college ball every game counts and they're not pros yet
like they still make mistakes but like you said they're playing their ass off
they their heart is in the game and and they really do believe it you know it
it's a business now right college ball is a billion dollar business with the
tournament and all of that but to the kids playing there's still some level
where they're playing for Seton Hall they're playing for Carolina they're
playing for whatever school you know what I mean like that yeah they leave it
all on the floor I love college ball I love the the effort the effort because
that's what it is all out effort and yeah I started watching sports again
little by little drips and drabs you know little baseball I watched the finals
you know with Kwame fucking I love that style of basketball he plays so I
watched that I watched the World Series football this year is just fucking
atrocious except for three teams yeah I could watch the NFL needs to do
something that's the I think well I don't know the NHL enough to speak on it but
for basketball baseball football the NFL needs to like I don't know what they
need to do I need to clean up the act they need to make the game something you
know like football is better on TV than live like like the whole thing is
designed to be a TV spectacle right and and if you're playing defense for for a
few years now you couldn't touch a quarterback now the defensive backs like
well what's pass interference like what do I do I got to let him catch I can't
touch him but then when he catches a ball I still can't hit him because he's
defenseless imagine telling Ronnie lot that he couldn't hit a defenseless
receiver Ronnie lot used to let him catch the ball just so right just so he
could kill him he was like yeah you'll catch one and then for the rest of the
day you're just hearing my footsteps right remember that we used to talk about
that footsteps and yeah we got we know about the concussions now the molester
and this and that yeah last of the molester last of the molester used to
get your ass used to spray stick them all over yeah remember that they had that
low stance off the line and shit so oh my god I don't know what they're gonna do
with football I know they're trying to make it an offensive game I'd given up
on football for a while now I'm starting to watch it again but it's I don't have a
team I don't have a team near do I I mean I like watching the you know because
it's perfect football I like watching New England cuz it's perfect football I
grew up watching Belichick Lawrence Taylor so New England's an extension of
that yeah like watching Danny and his channel teach kung fu he's teaching
Bruce Lee kung fu but I think about the NFL in the next 20 years how hard it's
gonna be shit's gonna change because of football because not everybody's putting
their kid in football no more kid parents aren't letting their kids play
football even in my hometown they which was built on football yeah no no listen
I know a lot of mothers who are like no my kid ain't playing football playing
in simple like my kid is not gonna get hit you know they got a deuce it's a
line it is a violent game but they got to figure out how to keep the game
exciting but still protect the players you know protect their heads right the
best thing I heard but it's crazy it sounds the best idea I heard it was a
doctor's neurologist she said go back to leather helmets he said because if
you're wearing a leather helmet you won't use your head for a weapon which you
know made sense right because because part of the reason they they started
using that the helmet is because the helmet is so strong so I don't know they
they got to they got to do something with the game because right now it's so
heavily weighed on the offense that the defense I think they're like well what
do we what do we do right what do we do we can't hit the quarterback we can't
hit the receivers what do we do but but part of the game and and I'm not saying
taking people out like like you know we're not talking 1978 Raiders but the
game is somewhere between that and and where we're headed now it won't go away
for you know why football won't go away because it's the number one you talked
about gamblers number one gambling sport in the country right more money's bet on
the Super Bowl than any event we have so it's not gonna go away because that
money ain't going away what's gonna happen is though it's gonna change the
college more African-American Latino kids people I watched the report I think
I'm real sports is what's going on right now that they're the ones that are
picking up the slack couple Jews in you know if you've got no money to go to
college this is your answer to go to college yeah it's a way in so they don't
give a fuck they're like this is your way in we'll figure it out I sit here at
times and think that this just come from the fucking sky all these
concussions and all this PTSD I want to know that about those guys that were
playing with leather helmets what was their percentage see I you know I started
watching football in the 70s with Pittsburgh Steelers that that was the
team you watched if you were a violent person yeah crazy and fearsome for some
yeah and all that yeah I love that shit I love the Raiders and I loved it and
that's you know you're Cuban there's no baseball you're angry you might as well
get see somebody get fucking hit from behind you know we all saw Lawrence
Taylor break what's his name's leg yeah anyway no the hits used to be part of
football and it used to be the highlights what happened right those guys I
know that well the longtime center from the Pittsburgh Webster out himself Webster
blew his head off his head off junior say I'll kill himself that was a big deal
that was a big deal but but this is the thing and this is the different time
we're living it so those players from the 70s you know why we don't know what
happened to because we didn't have social media we didn't have 24-7 access so
like once you retired from football if you weren't an announcer you just went
away right so we have no idea what I know a lot of those guys did die young a
lot of football players died in their 40s and 50s and they said because of the
collisions like they said if you're a lineman right offensive defensive
lineman it's like being in a car crash because they just bang into each other's
bodies and their internal organs would get messed up and but but again nobody
cared because nobody knew right so we're only finding this out now because we
have we have the information now we know what happens to a player 10 years 15
years after his career but I'm sure if you went back and looked I bet a lot of
those players from the 70s you know were whacked out in the 80s even like
boxers like I watched you know a couple weeks ago it was an interesting fight
Mazda Valle against Diaz and I got stopped because of a cut that people
argued they thought to a last in two days later I was online and I saw Roberto
Doran versus Davey Moore I clicked on the fight it's one of my all-time favorite
fights I haven't watched in about four years Roberto Doran is a 32 year old on
his way out fighting a 26 year old beast who's 16 and now and Roberto Doran
unleashes a beating on this man that it's just horrifying it's horrifying to
watch as a spectator even if you like boxing yeah there's a couple times where
the announcers are going stop this fucking fight this poor guy is knocked
out standing up Roberto was not hitting them knocking them up and hitting them
and waking them up and and I said look how different boxing was in the 70s look
at the garden if you would have stopped that fight in the garden that night they
would have killed you yeah they would have thrown chairs because I remember
the garden they used to throw chairs they used to love to throw those fucking
chairs and you look at the 30 40-year difference how they stopped it over a
cut under the eye and I wasn't there it looked like a serious cut it was a cut
that had been opened from previously from the fight before blah blah blah but
still it was like we didn't give a fuck in the 70s no well that's I mean but
that's good for the athletes right because they did they were warriors and
the other thing about boxing back then 15 rounds right that's a long fight think
about that 15 round fight that last three rounds like you know how beat up they
were by then you know what I mean it's it's every sports different now every
sports different now but but the physical the violent sport even hockey right
they didn't wear helmets magic and hit with a hockey puck you know what I'm
saying like it's only recently hockey had helmets right and then they called
them pussies for wearing helmets you would get checked what no I never played
I never played that dog I tried that street hockey I want the Tom McCann I
bought my little NHL sneakers and shit remember Tom McCann used to have
yeah yeah so you would have to have the NHL sneakers I bought my little NHL
sneakers I went over that though they slammed me against a Cadillac that was
it oh my god that was it then I saw some kids had go through a glass and
this ain't hockey and these kids were serious like block against block look
up a guy Ryan Reeves it's my boy he plays for he plays for Vegas he plays for
the Golden Knights look up his highlights greatest hits that's he's that guy he's
you know in hockey they got that guy who's just the enforcer right before
they call them right Rivo this guy knocks the shit out of people like that
that's basically his job you know but uh yeah I never played but man they and
because they're coming at you fast like on ice they got speed on ice skates yeah
I can't even fucking walk and that's all and that's all and and it's just part of
the game that's the crazy part it's just part of the game yeah that they're bad
acid that that's a that's you know it's a tough way to make a living you know
even I as Adam being a kid once a week there was a nice little misunderstanding
in the MGA you've shown videos I hear of them getting punched in the face oh a
nice little understanding when the ABA I think I think it's like the ABA was
just wild the ABA was just wild they had this guy Marvin bad news bonds yes
Roy you know I don't know how many times he took a pistol out the rest of the
pistol at the garden they called the foul on him one time they threw him out of
the game because I'll be right back I'll be right back I gotta go to lock our own
Willis Reed beat up everybody at your time like what's right is Willis Reed
yeah that body that's like that's like him the Charles Barkley's cousin yeah
Willis Reed could be Charles Barkley's cousin he could be Darryl Dawkins
remember Willis Reed played like he couldn't walk my god he couldn't walk
but he played I went to his basketball camp I loved yeah I loved Willis Reed I
loved him I was basketball camp I talked to him like maybe two times like I
don't kid Darryl Dawkins chocolate thunder you know Willis Reed was only
six foot yeah what what do you mean only six foot yeah six nine maybe something
he would listen he would have picked up Shaq and slam dunked him that's how
crazy Willis Reed was I think Moses would have killed Shaq and in their
prime it's a tough one not blicks now come on Moses was going 20 Moses was
going 20 for 20 a night yeah Moses was getting 20 and 20 absolutely but Shaq
when Shaq was playing I'm talking about there was a bunch of Bambi's when I'm
talking about when Shaq was in no but Shaq made him look like that no and I'll
tell you the one because I saw this okay he played they played Portland remember
Kevin Duckworth oh he was terrible but he was huge he was huge Shaq moved him
with one arm like Shaq cleared this guy had to be what 610 he claimed 270 so he
was probably three you was he casino you know when Joe Pesci hit that guy in the
head with the phone that was him that big white one of a guy pushed him to the
side he moved him he moved them with one arm like he cleared out he was
you know so I am mad at you as a coverage fan I'm surprised you're you're going for
Shaq no I listen no watch Shaq was a physical specimen like there was
nothing like it was like when will hit the league like when will Chamberlain
hit the NBA there had never been anyone like they were like you can't be that big
and that strong and that fast you know what I mean and and there was nothing
they could do and I think Shaq would have been the same way now it would have
been tougher if Shaq had to play late 70s early 80s would have been a tougher
gig would have been a tougher it would have been a tougher gig because he
because every night you were going up against a body you were going up against
somebody you know and he's and like you said Joey these guys came from
street ball with it was there wasn't that many six foot nine white guy there
wasn't that many rules not gonna push it there wasn't that many rules you know
Cowan was tough for a while they were tough man they were tough the game
dude up in Boston Center hey stop let me tell you something he played with
Freckles Charles Oakley Charles Oakley is what 50 now yeah still scary you still
wouldn't want to get on the court Dolan threw him out of the garden and
everyone booed Dolan they asked him to leave yeah yeah because he was behind
Dolan talking shit but oak I mean like you talk about someone's name fitting
them oak yeah he was a tree and when he was in the paint you knew it you know
this is the big difference in NBA now right like so now you have all these
shooters and scorers but you don't have you can't play physical defense you know
we've talked about this before in a show when you went up against the Knicks
they wanted to hold you to 60 points right Oakley Mason and Ewing like like
ask Reggie Miller what it was like playing against the Knicks you got hit
every time you know you did not come in the paint without getting murdered
the other night Detroit against Chicago when they just went after Jordan oh yeah
and they just oh yeah I'm up them up the weight Chinese food no more yes that
fuck it it made him better made him better made him better they were teams
that when you went in there you paid you paid yeah there was a couple guys that
got you know but before I forget worst three fucking sentence okay like like
these are guys that were like like off-color okay and that's who you played
against when when most of Malone play he played against artist artist Gilmore he
played against Bob Lanier yeah he played against there was centers bro yeah
those were Senate the center was a different position back different
position back then and I thought I think that and I know a lot of people hate on
me for this they I think Shaq had it easy I think Shaq easy I think Shaq had
Bambi down in San Antonio he was Bambi dog oh you're talking about the Admiral
yeah he was a nice guy he was a nice guy no but but again but you see you
could you could make the same argument with Jordan right because the thing and
make no mistake I'm not saying Jordan I think we're not king cover Jordan but
here's but he had a competition Jordan didn't have a direct competitor right so
you had magic and bird if either one of them didn't have to go against the other
they would have won six championships who out they had to go against each other
every you know what I'm saying every year and then you had LeBron who never
had the team around him if LeBron had a Scotty Pippin and you know what I mean if
he had the team Chicago had then LeBron would have won six you know and if this
isn't the Jordan people say this is a knock I'm not knocking Jordan but what
I'm saying is sometimes you get right place right time and he always had a
great team around talking college he had a great me black team around he was a
freshman he had a fucking team around worthy college worthy I forget the rest
I just remember Jimmy black him was it Jimmy black yeah but it was worth these
team that's what people forget it was worthy steam and I did a charity thing
with worthy right and and it was great so he's got his wife this is his second
wife she didn't know when he played and I said oh you never said she said no I
said you should have seen his first step she said everyone says that everyone
mentions his yeah where these first step he was gone it was the quickest it was
like where'd he go but worthy had to go up against Walter Davis yeah and his
cocaine snort man well they had to and they had to play against Ewing they
hadn't played against David Thompson David Thompson David Thompson could leap
out of the gym like before it was a thing eight inches before it was a thing
David Thompson was what he was he North Carolina state in the 70s or something
like that was it I want to say he was at NC State and said but he could Walter
Davis Walter Davis Davis was Carolina Carolina Davis went to Carolina but
David Thompson could leap and even you know and you talk about the 70s
Dr. J with that ABA ball let me tell you Joey you cut that fro because the fro
was not aerodynamic the fro the fro was aerodynamic if you cut the fro and may
demand aerodynamic dockwood I mean and again it there's a great book you love
this book matter of fact I should get this for you for Christmas called Loose
Balls the story of the ABA and it's all the old ABA players talking about when
they were in the ABA you know Doug Moe and Rick Barry and Dr. J you know George
Gervin right the ice before the eye when yeah I was keen and it was crazy that do
from Detroit I mentioned great of him bad news bonds great book like sixth grade
teacher John Barone yeah the guy you met play for the Miami Floridians you know
but yeah Dr. J man when Doc took off John Williamson when he took off from the
free throw line and did that windmill with that red white and blue ball in his
hand people do not understand that was it and that was that was he was when he
was with the Kentucky kernels you know I didn't know him then that was what
nobody knew Billy Polts nobody knew Billy Polts and yeah I think Keenan was his
teammate and the Kentucky Colonel and the Kentucky Colonel Larry Keenan was one
of the Rick Barry was the only guy who went from the NBA to the ABA he went he
went backwards but he wanted with Golden State yeah he wanted with Golden State
then he went to the ABA and it had to do with coaches and old friends or something
I know we were we were talking about like racism before and all that stuff was
there because I was just thinking I know that there was a Negro League for
baseball was there any sort of league like that for basketball no no basketball
the ABA that's what it was at the ABA was the young young gun hip hop league
no you know when basketball changed when well it's at Texas Western University
beat Kentucky it's a famous college game so Kentucky's got this coach Adolf
Rupp old-school racist I'll never have a black player on my team and an all-black
team lit them up beat them for the championship and that was when that was
when the color line dropped I was like oh you know these Negroes are kind of
good look at that boy right making that 20 footer yeah that was that change that
that's when but I the NBA the NBA didn't have it wasn't as because the lead came
along later and you had you had Bill Russell right Bill Russell you know
10 championships so they the NBA knew like we're gonna let we're gonna get
these black guys playing we want to win well the NBA was having a hard time
there it was it was a slower pace and the ABA was you know Julia serving the
ABA was was street ball run coming home and having the red white and blue ball
and I still remember when he fucking when they collapsed and he signed with the
Sixes I still remember that night like it was yesterday and he was went from
number 32 to number six because they paid them six million yeah that was a lot
of money that raised that money right now pissed pissed he could have got 890
million dollars now but all of them that's that's true for all the ball play
but it was when Julia serving was running things he changed my life I went
to two of his you had to buy a pair of Converse limousines for the feet and you
had to have a ticket a golden lottery ticket and I had a store a sneaker store
and he would take the tickets out for me I give him a little Cuban dude Converse
he saw Coach Kahn's what you weren't allowed to wear you got him you got a
beating there was 799 and then the Chuck whatever Chuck Taylor's with 999 but
you didn't show up with the coach Kahn's that was a beating his shit so then they
went to limousine of the feet yeah and then he had his first this is all paid
for by Converse yeah you would show up on a Saturday at 8 in the morning the
first one was at Fordham University Julia serving pulled up with his Mercedes we
were all standing online like little faggots that we were waiting to see Julia
serving he got out with his son and he came into the auditorium he brought us
in he did a seminar on shooting then he made us all clap and he ran from one
side he jumped from the fucking far line that was the end of the seminar yeah
and then I went to see him at CCNY he did two of them that year fucking
tremendous man that was my childhood I love you got Julie serving all over my
house I got to bring a picture in here I got two great pictures of one order
basketball player in the thing over there I don't know if we can see him or not
no no I got Julius at the house Lee gave me my friend Timmy Holloway gave me the
statue of Julius and it's on my fucking whatever but now to a lighter note
because I had to actually come and do a pipe cast about what you said to me that
night we were doing what's his name show and Eddie if was talking about the
Joker break the Joker kind of ballroom or whatever you know I haven't seen the
movie yet so and then you chimed in he goes you know he goes you know when you
watch the Joker as a comic you could really see this happening with a comic
yeah because of all the highs and lows that we go through you know like I mean
right now what a ravaging like we're losing one comic a year one comic every
year through to suicide which is yeah bad others we've lost to suicide only
disguised as something out right drugs or whatever whatever but
well the reason I said that is because and you know the life right so we got
the highs and lows right like I like I joked about it and this is absolutely
true I was on a TV show Monday and that Friday I was at the VFW in Riverside
California you know what I mean but but then the other thing is and this was
even more what happened to the Joker you watch people around you get it and you
don't they're moving up as you're either sitting or moving down or falling off or
any of that and you you got to have you know that's why I think beyond anything
in this business you got to love doing this because if you're in it like if you
just say well I got to make the money or I got to have the the followers that
you know the million followers on YouTube or Twitter or or or a gram or
something like that if fame is your only incentive the odds are get stacked
against you tremendously and emotionally I mean let's be honest man we're all
caught up in this shit on different levels emotionally you know what I mean
like I I had a therapist say to me one time she saw me do this benefit and she
said if I could get you to be that guy on stage all the time you'd be fun right
because when I'm on stage I'm bulletproof like that night dude it was
what was it two Sundays ago or whatever and and you know here's the thing with
following Joey and and you got to work I got a but the beautiful thing about you
on stage is you are completely raw you are completely raw there's no there's no
I'm gonna be nice about this or I'm a clean this up or I'm not gonna say this
right you say wherever you are in the moment what you know whatever you're
talking about it's you right it's raw well we all do that on stage to different
extents right so when somebody doesn't like you on stage that's a very personal
thing when you put yourself out there now in the movie the Joker he got he got
really deep into who he was and it was really bad you know what I mean so so
they you know what I mean it'd be like like somebody bombing on a most personal
note but just watching it and watching the deterioration I was like yeah this
could be any comic like if a comic was a serial killer right nobody would be like
oh yeah he was a quiet guy oh no we saw this shit coming right I mean that
that's not all of us to to to that extreme but what I'm saying is if you
watch the movie and you watch the deterioration and if you're a comic you
can see that happening because this this says so much it is that you got to be
careful not to believe right you got to you got to be careful not to to believe
all it you know you can't believe Hollywood come on Joe you've been in
this you know longer than me right I've I've always told people like I never got
a job from someone who loved me oh man we love you we love big fan blah blah blah
yeah exactly you don't get the work from that love don't do nothing you don't you
know you get the work from somebody who somebody who wants to work with you they
make you an offer they don't tell you they love you they make you an offer they
call your agent they put you on a veils when you said the highs and the lows
that night I was driving home and I thought about the lows of this career
and times that I didn't you know I didn't see but for me it was always a day
yeah for me it was always that day it like I tell comics all the time if you
really do what you're supposed to be doing the universe will give you a sign
every 90 days to stay in this yeah the universe I can I can remember those I
remember those if you really really really get in there get the shovel put
your head back and go this is what I'm going for every 90 days the universe
should be throwing you something to give you an incentive to stay in this game
well there's so many lows the first five years you got to get on stage see
that's what destroys you because you have that bad set right you bomb now if
you're if you're new and you're hustling and you're getting on stage three four
times a week anywhere anywhere you know you're bowling alley bar back of a coffee
shop or something then you can bounce back if you're only working once a week
once every two weeks when you bomb that's in your head for that long
you know and that's the that's that's why people give up that's why people give
up right because if you're if you just have that in your head and you don't
get another chance you know like in like in a joker right he screws up as a
clown and he gets fired well now you never get to redeem yourself from that
so now you got to live with that you fail but what like we fail I failed at
this ten thousand times yeah but you succeeded ten thousand times too how do
you figure you've had good sets like what would happen in the jokers he didn't
have any good he had nothing good yeah he didn't you you had good sets following
bad sets you had those those moments of success he in my car right I fucking you
know borrowed money from people I I did triple you know you look at all the great
yeah I was in the movie with fucking Adam Sandler and Clint Eastwood whatever
his fucking name is Bert Reynolds and yeah I got to do something for Netflix
and you look at all these bright spots but that night when you said that to me
it made me tap in to the dark side you know like sometimes at night I take a
ride and I on the way back from the store I go on Lancashire and I hook a
left on Magnolia and I look at that bus station that bus station is closed but
there's still two people standing there they're waiting for a bus it's coming in
six in the morning now if these people had 20 bucks they go to the diner it's
down the block they don't have 20 bucks they'd have to sit there till six in the
morning and think about how bad their life is and I still remember being you
know taking a bus from Miami to Buffalo and you know stopping in between stops
and taking two hits off a joint but not good and put switching batteries on my
Walkman or whatever the fuck it was my iPod I don't know what the fuck it was
you know you think of all those sleeping on couches but you know what Joey even
when we were doing that what gave us the love cuz we love going to all that
cuz it for me I've always loved doing it I've always told people that the
comedy is not to work right like you talk about triple runs and stuff like
that right where I was a middle act okay so on a good night you make 50 bucks
right and you literally drive from like Tuesday is comedy night at the holiday
in and Mesquite Nevada and then Wednesday is comedy night at the
Radisson and you know Ames Iowa or whatever the hell right and then
Thursday night is is comedy night at the at the Dubuque Holiday Inn right and
you wish remember think about this remember when you wished you could work
on a weekend remember that used to wish you could work on the weekend now when
do you have a weekend off unless you schedule it you won't have a week you
could you could work every weekend and every weekend but there was a time when
our work week was Monday to Wednesday and you might get the Thursday Sunday
through Thursday Sunday right Sunday through Thursday that's a good over
Mike's on Sunday but Friday Saturday you know I guess that's if you were lucky we
look but but you love to me I'll speak for me I love doing it so I didn't think
about being at the rest stop sleeping or literally or just like you said being
broke or borrowing money or hustling it was a hustle it was a hug your daytime
my daytime was a hustle for my comedy now I was fortunate that I had a few good
jobs like I was a driver for the kids show Power Rangers right so yeah so that
was a good job because on a driving day you make a couple of hundred bucks but I
also painted addresses on curves for five bucks a house and they didn't have to
pay you like you painted it and then you went to the door and see you get five
bucks for doing it you know I did that here in that way yeah yeah I did that I
hung televisions in in 7-elevens for the fucking lotto game right 40 bucks a
set no you climb up inside the roof of a 7-eleven and you mount the TV yeah
right but that was that was the hustle man that's what you did so and I did it
because I love con because I never had any doubt that comedy was what I was
gonna do it's crazy I never had any I saw cigars on the phone right when
cigars how do you sell cigars on the phone how you doing my name is Joey
Diaz you're what's your name Mohammed okay let me answer something Mohammed I
meet people going there looking for a cigar every day I don't want to talk
right now you have to call it back tomorrow and ask what Mohammed do okay
they got a call tomorrow is Mohammed do that no Mohammed 3 you have to be looking
for Mohammed 3 you have to call it back tomorrow and then you finally get Mohammed
and you sell him a fucking humidor that's worth you tell him I'll throw
$200 worth of cigars not throwing a humidor and that was it when cigars
were hot in 1998 that's how you made living in this town when Joey came
told me what you what you guys were talking about to me it made me realize
how close people could be to that but what I think the difference is at least
this is my opinion is you guys had something positive and the Joker and I
think people there's a lot of people like that we're just it's negative upon
negative that piles on I know people in this town that can't catch a fucking
break that's what I was gonna and I feel fucking terrible for them I know 20
people in this town right now that cannot get arrested that I check in on I
check in on from time to time I talked to a chick that was fucking homeless 3
weeks ago doing comedy homeless homeless asked me if she could take a
shower here and I told them even to have a shower you only had a toilet I'm
sorry I can't help you you know and she had to wait till nine o'clock at night
to sleep at a friend's house but she told me she goes I'll go to the fucking
park I gotta catch a spot up in Kenoga somewhere so right there I knew the
chick was on the up and up well when your heart and soul right it doesn't matter
when your heart and soul is in something and you don't get it see that's the
thing when whenever you put everything in and like you said this it's true for
whatever reason some people can't catch a break can't get it and and they put in
just as much work they just put they put their heart and soul and and some of
them unfortunately there are some people who don't have the talent right you
don't have the talent and I'm not just talking comedy I'm talking whatever you
want to do whether it be music or acting or whatever thing but you put
everything into it that can easily destroy it that's that's how you you
know like you said the sad thing is the suicide the alcoholism the drugs that
is that the slow suicide that's the worst that's the worst the slow suicide
drink yourself to death over x number of years or whatever the hell you know and
the road gives you all the opportunities to do that that road gives you the road
doesn't even have responsibility anymore none well they treat what we got
20 radio stations left yeah in the country so used to be used to have yet
up and do radio whose day this fucking Friday I still am flying into a town and
doing radio Wednesday Thursday and Friday right you know they didn't give a
fuck who you are they had a lineup for you on Thursday you gotta go do the
driving at five and you're like what the fuck they take it to a bar to do a live
remote how embarrassing is that yeah you know the local opening of the
grocery see yeah have you been on the team you know I have oh great and they
walk away from you and shit you know it's it's a fucking horror show but you
said it you said the ups and the downs and I went home that night and I thought
about you know 93 93 to 96 would like it was like Vietnam it really really was
because it just wasn't the comedy see sometimes you when you know nobody
drives an open mic in a testarosa right you know I'm saying nobody shows up an
open mic with a butler this is letting me out I'll be back in ten minutes you
know saying so but I had no they show up to dope Mike they are the butler yeah I
had I had a divorce going on I had a messy child thing going on you know the
drugs didn't help and then I was trying to do a comedy I was pretty much at war
myself I was like a Palestinian I was I was at war with everybody you know I'm
saying like I was just that war like I was just so I think of those times like
you know not being able to pay for a rent like who can't pay for yeah me
couldn't pay it I used to always make it the last month like the last week the
last three days of the month right I made rent I'd have to steal a long wall
from Kmart returning a long month you know there was always something you know
and you know yeah you started like I got totally my fourth year in comedy I made
like $8,000 I knew one thing from the beginning a lot of zone that's what a
lot of people don't know and they refuse to swallow the pill there ain't no
money no and they'll tell you they'll tell you to your face I know there's no
money for ten years and then they'll tell you about money a week later you know
who told me no money you know who does no money gave me that lesson the of a
doubt remember yeah when I started Theo said remember you go to college for four
years she said so any money you make in your first four years it's a bonus
because anyone else would be paying to go to school for that education then you
get your first job so it was like oh okay you know it was yeah that's real
that's how it is yeah you know I got I got lucky and it was definitely what
you said about getting the breaks that let you know you're on the right track
right because I got new faces in Montreal back when you used to get money at a
new faces and that was my first big paycheck and that was when I could give
up the day job I admired guys and I knew guys who were bombing all the time and
they kept showing me too and I admired that because I would get laughs and when
you got laughs it made it easier to keep showing up and I knew people literally
who were bombing all the time but they kept showing and then they figured it
out you know and then like you said years later ten years in now they're
there they're getting some I think I need to I'm some of a whole new up some of
them you know that I think for a whole year in 92 I blew up yeah like I know I
didn't blow up I bombed every set pretty much in 92 I was a host of a weekly show
and I had to have five new minutes of material every week it was a homework
assignment and I tried my hardest I really really went at it it was the same
people was $15 for a steak and a baked potato and shrimp and it was the same
books and at that point I had made it a goal to my job was just to make them
look up yeah you know I'm saying it wasn't even to make them laugh if I could
make them look up from doing this you know cutting the steak and putting them
out I want yeah that's how I looked at in those days because they weren't even
laughing at the feature see I was lucky and and it was absolute luck right
place right time whatever I got an education from the best because I did
the open mic at the lab factory it's my first year in so you started out here I
started I tell him I started in LA because I didn't know I wasn't supposed to
right and Jamie hired me to be a doormat right and he said you know if
someone doesn't show up you can do a spot right so I'm at the lab factory
every night in like 93 94 and I'm watching Damon I'm watching George Wallace
I'm watching George Lopez I'm watching Dom Herrera because this was the you know
this was back when they were at their their every night so I'm getting the
master class in how to do this shit right George Wallace is showing up with a
pad every night working on new stuff you know you know Lopez the Wayans would
roll in deep they'd be too carful the Wayans you know and they'd all just come
in working on stuff so for me right I'm a new comic I'm a year or two in I'm
watching these guys every night and I'm learning just like oh you got to keep
writing you got to do this you got to do that you know what I mean and and it was
great and then when phrase hired me Frazier Smith hired me to do the warm-up
for his radio show so every Friday I had to do a new five minutes so I had to
write all the time I had to pay attention to shit like I because you had
to what are you gonna talk about I don't know what happened this week was
there a new new car in the showroom is there some chick to the TV show like
what you know what I mean but it was it was such a great like it was just
learning and it was just learning and and like I say sitting and you know
George Lopez I still remember this like this is 25 years ago Lopez told me this
he said listen man never give it up for who up went up for you said like if I go
up before you they know who I am so you make your let them know who you are if
you got five minutes there's no sense spending one minute telling them they
just saw George Lopez you know what a lesson that was you know what I mean
that that was like oh okay because it in that moment you're on the same stage as
George Lopez as you know doc they used to call him Dr. Wallace right because
that's what he was he was a doctor you know we you know so yeah I was lucky in
those days but not everyone's that lucky right at the same time I was a door man
at Colorado with scent yeah like a D-room and what it gave me was watching
acts they weren't the best acts and I knew that they weren't what the comedy
works was getting right but I was asking a lot of questions these were older
school road comics and you know it took me 18 months to get on stage I got out
of prison February of fucking 89 I didn't get on stage till July of 91 that's
how much of a pussy I was you know I mean I kept saying I'm gonna get up then
I saw dice in my head almost yeah I'm like this motherfuckers doing my material
is the shit I've been writing I've been telling motherfuckers I'm gonna get on
stage I've been writing my shit and this is what I've been fucking writing and I
saw dice and once I saw dice that he pissed me off I'm gonna hunt this
motherfucker down and fuck him up he's doing my material and shit I didn't have
no material but that's what I thought in my head when I would walk down the
street I would what he was saying so now I had to get pushed into it you know and
thank God Wendy put me up it's fucking crazy but when we when I got home that
night I didn't write them down I just thought about all the lows all the nights
that I came home they used to be a comedy newspaper called just for laughs yeah
do you remember that yeah I was at the stand when you walked into any comedy
club and it was a monthly publication put out of San Francisco but if you went
to the back section it had all the comedy clubs in alphabetical state
alphabetical artists who started with Alaska Alabama and I remember you know
having 20 minutes Alonzo it being 1994 I'm doing comedy three years and it's all
I thought about like it was that and cocaine like you know I'm saying like
I'll get up in the morning while I was pissing where am I gonna do a spot
tonight and while I was showering it was where am I gonna get the money to do
coke tonight and sometimes it would mix it be a magical mix because the Mexican
was gonna give me 40 to do 20 minutes and then I get a free dinner at El
Torrito yeah El Torrito in those days because I developed in Colorado but I
think about those times I thought about that night I'll tell you what I came
close to crying by myself that I put myself through all those nights like you
know on a greyhound bus I was a regular at the store and I was still greyhound
yeah because you because we had to for 600 a week 500 a week no hotel right
greyhound bus we'll worry about it when we get there where you gonna stay
worry about when we get there and sure enough you get there you're holding out
you do your little feature spot and shit no like where you gonna stay I don't
know and there's usually one motherfucker it was all about stage time you know it
was all about your life was I didn't know nothing else I didn't know you know
when I tell people I didn't watch TV from 1995 to 2002 they die like I knew
nothing like people told me about Seinfeld and friends I knew nothing yeah I
didn't watch TV till I moved out here and I got an audition for NYPD blue and I
remember it used to come on Tuesdays right day nights yeah and how can I miss
the fucking black show at the comedy store yeah if I'm watching NYPD blue
because Guy Tory would put right up up there early so I remember sitting there
watching NYPD blue Jimmy Smith is dying that's the episode yeah put me on when
he was dying of cancer and shit and I'm like I'm missing fucking stage time for
this shit I had a spot at the store but in those days it was following Paul Mooney
oh man 1245 became a night so that's not a spot that's a torture chamber but we
were talking about this that night I remember doing a spot at 1.15 in the
morning they used to remember the LA cabaret and Encino little when I got here
it lasted six months after okay I did a spot it's like 1.15 for two people I
mean there's two people left like yeah do your spot and you did it right because
what else were you gonna do you had to do a spot so that was a spot you got yeah
it was but again I think the passion that keeps you going can also be the
passion that destroys you you know if it doesn't work and the other thing was the
other comics right you could you you because we were all doing it right so
we were all like I came up with like Johnny Sanchez and Willie Barsena and
Shang and Ollie and we were all doing this shit you know who Shang was the
king Shang had one-nighters he had like a notebook full of one-nighters
everywhere across the country be like Shang where I need it you know I mean
I'm in Houston because you couldn't work in Houston there was nothing for you in
Houston but he had some shit in Midland Odessa because because Houston was
headliner territory you know what I mean but but the fact that we went through
that and I hung out with a lot of the Latino comics Jeff Garcia and it's an
I remember when Fluffy bounced on stage and when Fluffy used to book the
bicycle room yeah the bicycle casino and you had to pay it on Friday that's right
that fucking dive and you would look that and you were like who is this fat
kidney shorts but because he even then he had something that people just loved
him right they they loved him and you would just see it you know and and but
anyway you know we'd hang out right late at night whatever after you do your
spots whatever you talk shit and you trade notes and and I remember they
used to be what was it called moose McGillicuddies in Marina del Rey and they
had a comedy contest and you win it was either 50 or a hundred bucks it was
something like that and we would take turns doing it because we because like
if if Willie Bersena went Willie was gonna win and if I went I was gonna so
what we would do is we're not going up against you to all right you win it this
week and then I'll go next week you know what I mean because but but we had
that and that was part of what kept us from from giving up that because there
was always hope cuz someone got a job right someone got a gig and I know I'm
funnier than that motherfucker I it's hard to explain but that was the that was
the life and that was how we came up in it I was out seven nights a week
absolutely I don't know what absolutely what do you what are you gonna sit at
home I was out seven nights a week with money no money didn't matter I found
spots another thing I had this this was another thing I was lucky I think that I
had pros I had pros tell me I was good and I think that helped a lot oh it means
the world yeah I mean I'm two years in one and if a feature tells me I do a
good job it's it's amazing yeah and do you guys ever like cuz to me it always
blows my mind when I see someone at your level doing a set and then
they're like working on new stuff I like the comedy store love the laugh at like
to to think about working on something at such a huge club it like I can't even
think about it like what do you still have like the open mic mindset or do
you like what do you guys think about well I I my favorite joke I don't know
about you Joey my favorite joke is always my newest it's always my newest
because that's the fun to work on but what we have that you don't have yet is
we got the confidence because we know shit works so we know we can get them so
you know what it's what you do after you know you can make them laugh that's
when you really get into the shit but first such a journey first yet you know
let's listen an artist journey a musician a comedian it's a fucking journey man
and the journey is to toughen your skin yep for later because if you can't take
those first five or six years you don't want to deal with what comes in later
you know there's times you know and then what would they call them they call
them uptown problems yeah yeah you know it's it's it's but you got quality
problem but you got prepared because you toughen your skin early on you you
know 20 years ago when I walked into an audition I couldn't sleep when I walked
out of there now I walk into an audition and people ask me two days later how
did you do and I don't believe talking about yeah if I get it I get it if I
don't know exactly I leave it there was there was tough skin there was skin
developed what he is the other thing the difference with comics is we got a
practice in front of people you know see I got a lot of friends who are musicians
and it's like yeah we we don't really have studio time right as a comic that's
the difference we had to be bad in front of people if you play the guitar you
get to practice the guitar in your basement in your room and yet and then
you come out when you're good at playing the guitar as a comic it's like now you
got to be bad in front of people and then get good in front of people I'm
really happy you said that along so because it it made everything in my
life taste a little better it made me remember what I did go through like I
almost got myself to tears on the drive home going really I did all that shit I
really slept on park benches you know I slept on a couch just for the name of
calmly you know I drove 16 hours to do a for 14 hours to do a guest set to try
to get work from knuckleheads and I got the work then they went out of business
you know they gave me six weeks of work and they went out of business you know
I mean I thought I think about all that those listen man I can tell you and you
how many times are we happy to drive two hours for 25 bucks because you was
getting paid and to taco you was getting paid and you got food and you were
getting paid and people you know like it's funny to me like people will
mention a town in California there's nowhere I haven't been it like oh
Hemet or this is like yeah well you're kidding I came up in LA I've done
every town Eureka, Hemet, whatever, Visalia, you know all of these places
yeah of course because what you had to right you had to drive and do you every
night you were on the five south yeah all I know is going to five there was a
time between Rudy Jeff oh man Rudy Jeff the other kid there was like six or
seven Mexicans and these motherfuckers put your ass to work on a daily week I
told I just did I thank them fucking every day I thank them I just did toys
for tots for Rudy Sunday night and I was telling a friend you are not an LA
comic if you haven't done a Rudy Moreno gig yeah you know nothing if you haven't
done one of Rudy's remember Rudy used to have all those rooms in the bray bull
what the fuck you think you're dealing with $20 a show Friday and Saturday oh
man I was there the night Marilyn got into the riot there was a riot yeah yeah
you remember that he called me Joey what happened Rudy I don't know Rudy was
man Rudy's and you know and and you know these are the guys right so people
they don't know him they don't know who he is but he's an icon amongst comics icon
I love Rudy I just break his balls he's always fucking fucking shit on
Facebook so he drives me crazy hadn't solved them a few weeks ago because he
kept sending me a fly yeah like no words just a fly why you sending me this
fucking fly for Rudy do you think I'll ever have you to come down one night not
really Rudy a fucking flyer but you know I think of all those nights like being
broke and going to the commerce casino Rudy giving you a hundred bucks for the
commerce casino Thursday night running the back get Chinese food Thursday night
really good Chinese yeah but I still remember going to commerce casino you
know he would put altos yeah on the table and I would take two altos I wouldn't
even put him in my pocket I just keep taking the altos from him and then in
between sets when he was up on stage I go Rudy Rudy Rudy and I just keep
saying Rudy Rudy I used to love I'm trying to think where was I oh I did this
bar gig that's called the federal bar it's in Long Beach and it was cool I did
a few weeks ago there was a big motorcycle show so it's doing this show
after the motorcycle show and a bunch of bike friends came down but anyway they
were like you got to be offstage at 9 30 because dancing starts at 10 and I was
like oh shit I ain't done one of these in a long time remember remember that you
had to be offstage because the DJ the people would be lined up for the DJ and
you had to have you I used to have to follow a line dancing class and Denver on
Sunday nights that turned into a pretty good room yeah but you had to wait for
the line dancers to get out so I remember 92 that was a key break yeah
hell yeah everybody was doing a key break a line dancing classes on a Sunday
fucking night a hundred fat country woman with boots on and one black chick
99 white one black chick that's how I'm coming and yeah no thank you for
enlightening me last listen the early part of your comedy career right it's
annoying people yeah right you're doing comedy to the noise people you're going
to their local bar doing a comedy night that they don't know about right you're
in the back of a bookstore that people want peace and quiet I did a bike shop
two weeks ago if you're your gig is where can I go annoy people with this
comedy Ahmed Ahmed used to have a gig in a I think it was at a Cuban
restaurant in the in West L it was a restaurant you know and you'd you'd
literally like these poor people came to eat dinner but we're gonna bug you for
the next 45 they do that in the valley yeah there's a restaurant up here that
does this people eating dinner and you're going up these people even know
it's common that's right that's your job your job they came to talk and you're
asking them fucking questions if you're out of town your job it's we used to do
this woman Victoria Dushoff she'd always get gigs in these hotels who is
Victor Victoria well heard I think it was her dad her dad was a big-time club
guy he died and something yeah she died of cancer father what was the name of it
what was it the Latin casino the Latin casino right right and and she was great
she but we would do a way to cancer yeah we would do Wednesday night at the
Holiday Inn by the airport by LAX and every Wednesday there was like a German
tour group that stayed at the hotel so half the people at the bar did not speak
English they were German and we were there every Wednesday night Shang used to
I think I met Shang at that gig but but you know that's that's the work right so
so this is what I was talking about and at the time I didn't know anything was
wrong with that because I got on stage you know but there were times man where I
took hits and and for me I'll tell you the hardest part for me was Def Jam
crowds the hardcore black crowds because I'm a black comic but I'm not that black
comic right I'm I come from a different place and those crowds used to I would
get destroyed I would get destroyed booed I did a place called my brother's
favorite story in my career Manhattan proper in Queens where I grew up they
didn't just boo me off the stage they booed me out to the building on to
Lyndon Boulevard but the moment that the one I remember was it was at the Normandy
Casino in LA right and and I was getting booed and heckled and this guy was
hitting me with prison heckles that I didn't even know what the fuck he was
talking about right and speedy I don't know if you knew speedy he what happened
there I don't know but speedy came up to me he said yo man don't worry about this
shit he said you working in Hollywood already he said these motherfuckers would
chill to get to Hollywood he said don't worry about them you ain't gonna gain
nothing by getting them they're following you and and Cedric the entertainer
said was another one who back in that day he was like you know you do you don't
worry about this shit you do you and and this is getting back to what we were
talking about when a pro says that to you this I'm two years in three years in
right and and my own people you know I mean I'm like the fuck am I doing yeah
and but but they were the ones who were like do you do you man you just don't
worry about it just keep working keep working and don't don't try to be
something you're not don't try to be you know something this you know I grew up
in I grew up in Queens I grew up in St. Omen's Queens working-class black
neighborhood or whatever it's it's their own try to come from the hood because you
ain't from the hood right you that's not you so so don't try to be that and and
it worked and then and my heroes were guys like Franklin and Jai yeah right
people don't even remember Franklin and Jai I should met him at the commie store
like a mug and Franklin and Jai was was alleged Franklin and Jai was and he was
remember when I saw him in car wash yeah yeah that's what everyone remembers but
his stand-up you know was he was brilliant and so so that that helped me a
lot but those were the down times man I remember doing a set after I went to the
black expo and I went up somewhere in LA I don't remember where black club and I
was trying to make fun of the black expo and they wouldn't have in it they
wouldn't have in that shit for a minute and those were the days that like I
said if if it wasn't for the fact that I got up again you know the next day or
two days later those that those that's how you build a joker what do you
remember more your crushes or your bombings bombing oh I fucking love them
yeah I'm a little close to my heart well now you now I don't know about you I
laugh when I bomb I laugh too because I'm like I got out of the way I'm like
you know my thing is it's like how could I be that wrong yeah I thought this
shit was funny how could I be doing this shit for 20 60 how could I have missed
by that much I still remember getting the car and crying oh going this is my
last spot your life your life is worthless this is the last time I'll
go to spot the college store I'm gonna bomb it in front of Mitchy just walking
right to my car going well it looks like I'm going back to stealing I dated this
chick and she had been married to a comic and she literally said to me she
said you know I could fall in love with you she said but I can't do it again
she said I can't do another comic it's too hard with you guys your fucking life
it's just takes a special woman but but but what part of it would you trade me
right now yeah what part of the road to be Joey Coco Diaz today you know I'm
saying what part of the past 20 25 whatever would you trade right you can't
because this time I'm on stage now and I can actually feel myself getting
laughter and I could see my mind going back to 94 and going the reason why I'm
getting this laughter is because that night that bar ate that bag of dick man
right when I'm on stage this is happening to me and I'm still cracking
jokes but my mind is taking me there going the reason why I'm doing so well
tonight is because of that particular night 97 Bremerton Washington right
thank God I'm still in this well you talked about it earlier when you're doing
the interview right you can talk to the interview now because you were on K K
J. A. Y. in Ames Iowa it's Tuesday morning on the laughing clown and we got
Joey Coco Diaz and you did that art of that interview so when you sit on the
couch at the tonight show you're like I got this right everything we did the
lesson came up later every every shitty one night every time the microphone
didn't work and now you got a problem they had a problem I've worked without a
mic before lights went out all right get a candle let's go right cuz we cuz
you've done you know we've done that shit right you or or you know you need
time to I got to get my head right well now man cuz the greyhounds stopped at
7 and the show stopped at 7 15 I literally hit this stage on a dead run I still
remember changing in a cab from Dulles Airport on the phone with the host and
I'm changing in the fucking cab from Dulles to Tyson's corner Virginia the
guy had a hotel room on Fridays and Saturdays it was the Friday after
Thanksgiving I get to the airport who's at the airport delayed and lit
already my boy George Lopez I see him at the airport he's got to come over have
a drink we start drinking a little George I gotta leave no you're delayed too so I
