It's a beautiful day to be alive
No guests today. We're on a solo tip. It's the first podcast of a month and I want to talk to you people about something, you know
Well, sometimes I look at the fucking calendar and I remember things like sometimes like today is my best friend Loubs is birthday
I called him already in an answer. Fuck
but
Today's also my daughter's birthday. She turns 30 fucking years old today and it was weird that yesterday
I was doing paperwork or whatever and I noticed it was February 2nd
And I'll never forget that date
Because that's a day they got a halfway house, but that's a day that
That's the first time I really lived life with
Responsibility, you know, I got a lot of emails from you guys every week and you're going through whatever you're going through
I want you to I want you to know something man the 20s a fucking throw away is
At the end of the game that don't even count. I sit here at 57 in two weeks
I'm telling you that your 20s don't even fucking matter. You're gonna fuck up. You're gonna lose job
You're gonna get fired. You're gonna switch careers
You're gonna get engaged, you know
You know, everybody falls in love
Just you know, we do just fucking dummy things that could define who you are for the rest of your life or
Yeah, because that's what you're gonna do. You're gonna make a mistake or
Do something good that's going to define your life with my my situation. I got a felony. It didn't define who I became
I also got I had a baby
That defined the way I became because I failed as a father the first time around but let's get to the
February 2nd
February 2nd 1990
I had been putting that I had been released from the halfway house and
Put back two times on probation violations because I couldn't keep it together. I just could not keep it together
I made already language like a fucking post a child
The difference between me and already at the time was that
There was more ways to scam the system now. They got you they got young computer with bracelets
That they don't even have to piss test you they take a hair out of your fucking hair and they check your follicle
Yeah, you know, they swab the fucking taking your mouth like you can't beat half the shit
I was doing but I was just like when I when I was watching already going through his thing
First of all, he came up on a year anniversary the other day and I was so fucking happy for him
Because he went through the hardest year of his fucking life once you got a beat the first year
Trust me the percentages go down and down and down and down and hopefully, you know
He'll see the other side of the fence and you go for life the same way I did, you know
Once you see the side of the fence, it's tough. Listen, I'm wrong people do coke
If you don't think I'm around people do coke. You're out of your fucking mind
I've been on the road with people who are doing co-op. It doesn't affect me. It doesn't make me want it
You know, it's like my Joey karate videos once I was done with them. I was fucking done with them
I don't go backwards and I'm you know, it doesn't affect me at all, but
back to the second of
February 1990 I remember my wife
At the time picking me up. She was nine months pregnant. She was due any day
There wasn't like a due date. They think the due date was like the 10th to some shit
And I remember her picking me up when I got in the car and slammed that door. I
Remember saying like a couple things to myself. This is the last time I'm coming back to this halfway house
And I'm about to have a kid which means life is gonna get fucking real
And I know two people who are going through a lot right now. They church family not that I go into anything
I mean they're going through
fatherhood for the first time, you know Scott Cunningham and and
Michael Klein, you know one by one podcast great guy, you know, you're not I called
I I still don't know calling Mike at two in the fucking morning and him answering, you know
Yeah, I called him in an answer and right away. He hit me on Twitter
He goes I couldn't answer I was putting the baby to sleep, you know things happen. Do you think?
Michael really wanted to put the baby to sleep that night. You know I'm saying I mean so when I
Got out of the halfway house. I knew right away that day
I had to change my whole fucking life and I was like this is just not gonna work and you know guys
I'm the biggest procrastinator is like I'm the type of guy that I'll tell you for a year
I'm doing something like I got I put myself in worse positions than you guys could ever even dreamed of
because I
Don't know if it's I'm a nice guy or sometimes I'm a pussy
But sometimes you tell somebody you're gonna do something and as the date gets gets closer
You really realize you don't want to do it
That's okay if you go into a concert
That's okay. If you don't want to go on a trip
But it's not okay if you're gonna have a baby
It's not okay if you want to get married. It's not okay. If you quit your job high-ranking fucking job
To take a low-ranking job and and it's not what you ended up thinking, you know
Once you make career decisions like I'm one of those guys like I got married and I realized on the fucking plane on the honeymoon
But I didn't want to be married too fucking late now, you know, it's too fucking late, Joey
When I got when I got a fucking halfway house and she picked me up like I was seeing her every day
But when I looked at her at lunch that day and we were back and she took a shirt off. I'm like this chick is big
I'm about to be a fucking father, and I don't know if I'm into all this shit
And also the next morning that night we went to Lucille's that place that I told you about Boulder that has occasion food
It's fucking delicious, and I had like the black and red fish with this bayonets and this fucking
This spicy Louisiana sausage and my wife ate the same and we went back and I couldn't get high. I don't like I'll refi
So I it was snowing and I fucking passed out
And I fucked when we're so tired I was so stressed about life
We must have passed out of tune on the afternoon and just slept all day
Like we both just fucking slept
All I remember is her waking me up telling me her water broke
And it's
You know when you have the stink of prison on you
Guys, you can't not discredit right now because of the internet you get to watch people unwind
You get to see something somebody says or does and then two weeks later
They do some mouths and two weeks later. They do some mouths
Then they get thrown off Twitter then they get thrown off voice book
Facebook then they get thrown off Instagram, and you just see it
You know you see what Alex John you see it with rum rush Limbaugh with our boy with the edible
You just see it with different people
You know like they start the fucking deteriorate little by little
I don't even know what we're talking about the but that's you were talking about how you won't you she woke you up
And you had the stink of prison on you. Yeah, like I just had the stink of prison on you
Once you have the stink of prison on you that means you're gonna have police contact
No matter what you do really like I had police contact. Let me put it this way. I
I had police contact January 29th
1988
1983
that was the first real time I got pinched for possession of of
Burgary tools like stolen property and then after that I had police contact. I didn't get arrested
Like I would have police contact from time to time, but I wouldn't get arrested
And I got pinched in New York with a bag of weed like a year later
Again, I would have police contact, but I wouldn't get pinched. What's police contact this guy said you robbed his house
This guy said, you know
Police contact is a motherfucker. Once you get the stink of police contact on you. You can't get it off you
so let me give an example my my what my
wife's water breaks
Now we had a condo we bought a condo
We rented a condo in that
Complex first and then I
Swindled a condo out of one of the fucking counselors at the halfway house
I caught him one of the other counselors and I tormented him and when he quit his job
I swindled them like fucking some 500 down
200 a month type condo deal then the lady who owned the condo called and it was too late
Like it was fucked up. So I moved into this condo
Without knowing that the guy downstairs from me
Was fucking crazy
Like he was stay up all night
I would hear music at four in the morning
You know, I would get up to get something to drink because it's dry in Colorado
And I would hear music and all this shit. He would talk to himself and I found out that he was like a meth head
Somebody told me like one of the neighbors said that guy stays up every night people bring him back and just
He just walks around and shit and he would always throw away boxes of puzzles
See me down there fucking doing puzzles. I don't know how fucking long on the map. I don't know
I don't I didn't know the guy all I know is that my wife must have made a noise
That made this guy called 9-1-1 like I was beaten
So I had to go, you know, I come outside. It's snowed fucking eight inches of snow
so I got to go outside now and
clean off the car and
While I'm cleaning off the car. I see two two cop cars
coming down
The street it wasn't really a street. It was like a parking lot. Did you know they were for you?
Not an idea. Okay. I'm like what the fuck must have happened
And all of a sudden the cops like they get out and they're like put your hands on the car
And I'm like, okay, and I put my hands in the car and I go what's going on there like turn around
They came up to me. They frisked me and they handcuffed me and
Then they ran into the house because the front door was kind of open and they knocked me go. Hello. Hello
My wife's like hello and and they're like are you okay?
And my wife was in the bedroom on the bed waiting for me to come pick her up and they're like are you injured?
And she's like, what are you talking about? And he got the
The cop goes we just had domestic violence call
From here and she goes no my water broke and I was telling my husband to hurry up
He's outside getting the car ready, but that fucking method called the cops on me
So the cops helped me carry her out to the fucking car
We put her in the front seat one cop car got in front of me
I got behind the one cop car cop car got behind me and we fucking sped off to the fucking
To the hospital took us like eight minutes. That wasn't cool. Cool as shit
Here I am a convicted felon getting a police escort to the fucking hospital. I get there. We go through the whole fucking thing
She has the baby like that morning like at 12 or something to and finally at six I went home
And even though I was in the halfway house, I had a celebrate
So sure enough. I got an eight ball. I called my brother law her brother
And we did a fucking eight ball and thank God my number didn't come up that fucking Monday
And I'd have to pee in a bottle or they would have put me right back on the fucking halfway house
I mean, you know, you know me dog. I told you I made already laying with like a fucking quiet boy
So do you have any anxiety like while you're doing it or you're just like fuck it fuck it like they're not gonna piss me
I'll beat the test, you know, you're your addiction just convinces you there
You're you're this super human guy and then when you come down and
You got your pressure like what am I gonna do now?
And I got to pray for Monday that my color doesn't come up when I say color is on Mondays
From one to five and 12 to five you had to call a number
And I think my number was my color was no room
Okay, and they'll tell you the colors for the day are black
white
purple
You have four hours to report. Please leave a message. So you had a leak
You had a call every Monday Wednesday and Friday
leave a message
To let them know that you called if you didn't call it was a probation violation if you didn't leave a message
And were you close to going back to prison for another violation? Oh, yeah
Probation violation is 90 days
But in the halfway house it could be in county jail. It could be in jail. It could be at the halfway house
Yeah, I always had a so-called important job
My attorney always oh, you know Mr. Diaz and once I started wearing a suit
That's why I started selling cars in their mind like this guy's wearing a fucking suit. Okay, he must do something
That's important. Even when I wasn't selling cars. I was throwing putting the suit on to leave
They thought I was selling cars. I really wasn't selling cars
You know, but it's so weak so that Monday you're supposed to call so for people don't know what I'm talking about
That's what it was then which is 30 years ago. I don't know what it is now now
They just must knock on your house and pull your fucking hair out of your head and tell you test the positive for everyone
I don't know what it was then but now
But this is what it was then and you know, and I kept going I kept going and going and going
Until yeah, until finally 18 months later. She's smartened up and said this marriage isn't gonna work
but the funny thing was that
And I don't know how to say this to you guys like I was not happy in my situation
Like when we and I don't want you to think that I'm saying I didn't love the baby
Or anything like that. I just didn't take to the situation
How I thought I would and looking back at it now
I felt very bad about it for years and I see my treatment of mercy now and I know that
The reason why I was acting the way I was before was because of my addiction
Like now that I'm sober with mercy. I see where the shortcomings. I didn't fail as a father
I was just on fucking drugs
How much of it do you think is the drugs versus like that because you started this off saying like your 20s are crazy like
How was it a mix of everything or was it like all I wasn't ready? Yeah, some people not ready yet. You're not mature enough
I'm sorry. I wasn't mature enough at 20 fucking seven to have a child. I just wasn't mature enough
I'm sorry to say that that's just the way life is
Some people mature, you know, I know people had kids at 18 and made it work for themselves and got jobs and you know
Did whatever I just wasn't mature enough. I didn't know
What I had on my hands. I didn't really know the responsibility of what you have on your hands
I didn't know that the decisions that I made affect everybody in my fucking family had no idea
You don't know these things 20 fucking seven, you know, nobody tells you these things
You learn these things as you fucking go along with it, you know
but it's it's I
Loved her I took care of her every Saturday, you know, I took care of my chains of diapers. There was no drama there
It wasn't the happiness that I have today
my mind was always somewhere else even though I loved it and then we got separated and
You know, again, that's where that statement comes and you don't know what you got to you lose it
And then I really wanted to be close to her
But it was too late. She didn't want me to have a relationship with her. I knew this since day one, you know, like this is I
Don't know what you people know the story. This is the last
One hour one man show I did was about that time period from 93 to 95
And it took me a long time to write like I have a month in between one man shows to write a section and
This one I wrote every fucking day and I had a hard time writing it every fucking day
Because I didn't know I could how I could explain myself of my actions at this time
but to start
the thing off I had to remember
Something that she had said to me like
We broke up in October 15th of 1991 we separated
By
February of
92 I knew I wasn't gonna be that kid's father for much longer
Like I didn't need to have a crystal ball she did something that
People never understood why I got so angry. I'm a very old-fashioned type of guy
Lee and in life things happen and
For the people at home things happen in life and things are gonna happen
to you and
Things are gonna happen that you're gonna have to say to somebody something happened
Things just happen in life
You know you you you you get married
You have a child you go to work
You meet a co-worker you and her hit it off
I'm not saying that you're cheating or whatever, but
Sometimes in life love comes at a weird time things happen in life, you know you you realize the person you're with
It's not who you want to be with you want to be with this person
eventually you cheat and
It's not about the sex
You really enjoy being with that person or whatever, you know, whatever the fuck happens things happen
You're not gonna fall in love forever
You know things happen in life that people have to accept that there comes a day that sometimes
But one day my wife might come home and tell me she's not in love with me no more
And you have to accept these things you could throw a couple mirrors and yeah, you're gonna go back
You're gonna go out and have a couple beers and you're gonna go out to your friend's house and talk to them
But the quicker you accept it the quicker you can move on to your next chapter
Well, it was interesting when you were talking about how like your 20s is a throwaway
And then you said how you realize you didn't want to be married on the flight
And what I was thinking is and it's something that I struggle struggle with is like you you said oh, it's too late now
But in reality you could have just been like hey
We both know this is like you could go to the moment like sometimes like
That's what I've learned recently is you sometimes you can just make the decision and it's not gonna be as bad as you think
It's gonna be I knew that June that June of 91. I knew our relationship was over. Okay. I knew something wasn't right. I
Was working too much. I
Was working on purpose
I'm the laziest man
I was working five days a week for my brother-in-law Rufa. I was working
Six nights a week as a doorman DJ bar back and I was working two days a week on my own
Private little roofing jobs. I
Did not want to be home
Okay, that's a problem when you have a child and you don't want to be home when I was home
I was happy to see the child and I was the child I bathed there when I did everything I was
Called upon to do on Saturdays if I didn't work like sometimes on Saturdays
I would go my wife would cut hair and I would have the baby on Saturday and I enjoyed it
I had no problem with that. I liked everything about it. I just wasn't prepared to do it full fucking time like I just
You know, I had addiction on my mind that partying on my mind. I didn't cheat on my mind
That wasn't on my mind at all, you know
When when I came home that October 15th, and she said to me
She didn't want to be with me already I had caught in the bug of comedy I
Was trying to get out of all this as it was I was like how am I gonna get to do fucking comedy?
With everything I have going on a child three jobs a fucking wife
Well, okay, I don't even have a wife the only glue in this house was that child
You know that was the only thing that was keeping us fucking together
On the weekends, I do a little bit of coke like on Friday nights
And I wasn't getting caught and eventually I got I got signed off
Community corrections and you know things worked out the way they did but she did something that really aggravated me
Was that if she would have came to me?
Listen man, I
Learned over the last 20 years how to talk to people. I
Really have I didn't know how to talk to people. I was always very scared of
Talking to people and then one day one a couple weeks ago. I had to make a very hard decision
Something had been bothering me for six months
And I had to make a hard decision and I knew and I told her how to do it
And I woke up January 21st and did it
That's how long it took me to make the fucking decision. That's how long of a procrastinator. I am but when I did it
I did it. I'm not looking back. You know, I'm not looking back
With my wife. I was too young. I was like, I guess this is what happens when you get married
You get married. You hate the person but just stay together because the kid what what a fucking miserable fucking existence
You know the jobs I had I loved doing them. I was good at estimating. I was good as a laborer
I was good as a fucking door guy. I was good as a sound guy
I was good as a bar back when I was working at that comedy club
But there was none of those jobs. I really wanted to do as a living I
Wanted to give comedy a fucking try
You know, I really really wanted to give it a fucking try and even though the first two years
It was like I was just getting to find who the fuck I was when I look back at it now. It was fine
That was fine. It was that was exactly I was supposed to be doing that looking for a voice meeting people
Getting different advice from bad comics and good comics, you know, because you're getting advice from bad comics
You get advice from good comics you get advice from mediocre comics
You get advice from corporate comics you get advice from clean comics you get advice from dirty comics
You getting all this advice you getting all this shit thrown at you and you have to figure out where you're picking
You know, there's a lot of guys that say well, I'll do this
But I'll work on this and then I'll have a tonight show set not do no
I knew at one point I had to make a decision what direction I was going and
Once I made that direction two and a half years
I went with it and then it was the experimenting remember I told you I wore a suit for a year and
I bombed every time
You know, I wore a suit for a year to try to look nice. I've combed my hair
I put a collar shirt on I put a tie on I loosen the tie. I try to close the tie
I bomb I open the collar I bomb
You know as long as I had a fucking suit on I thought I was a bombing machine
Soon as I took the fucking suit off and put jeans on the t-shirt. I started getting them fucking
I started throwing the suits away. It was a process. It was really a fucking process
That never ended, you know
But you were in charge of like do you feel more control of it?
Every day that I fell in love with it every failure that I had
Made me fall in love with it. Remember you can't move forward without having failures
It's just impossible
It's impossible. I heard yesterday
During the Super Bowl that one of those guys
That made one of those great plays and now he's on the Kansas City. Oh, San Francisco. I don't know
They said that he had been cut by seven teams. Yeah, I forget what guy that was here
Okay, he had been cut by seven teams if you get cut by four teams. Where's your ego at?
Seven teams he got cut by
Seven fucking times somebody told him that what he had to offer wasn't good enough for their team
What do you think that guy felt like and now he's in a fucking Super Bowl and
He made a tremendous play and they talked about him getting cut seven fucking times. What does that tell you?
That's a certain that takes a certain guy
After four times. I'm like fuck. I'm getting a job in a warehouse
This isn't working out for me
But do you think that's genetic or or is it learned like there are like you're I think you're one of those people who has
And it's not even work ethic, but it's it's it's it's like the you're strong enough mentally to push through it
Because I like there's some things that I'm not
Like there's some failures that just take you like ah, fuck it like what like that
I'm always impressed with people who can bounce back
My basketball failure me quitting back. Listen, I quit everything
that I I ever tried
I'm a fucking quitter. I quit everything
I quit the electrician union
I quit being longshoremen
I quit being a fucking hottie
I quit being a fucking painter
The one that killed me the most was basketball
The high school the high school one that killed me the most
You know when I was dragging the dirt over my mom's dad
My father's debt
And all that shit part of the debt I was carrying
Was the death of me walking away from basketball
I didn't know how much it devastated me
until about 20 years ago
That devastated me
That made me become a different person that made me
I
Wasn't angry
I'm not gonna lie to you. I was I was angry at the coach
That fucked my freshman year. Right. I until this day people will tell me that he fucked you. He fucked down purpose
He was waiting to fuck you
You know, but he he fucked me
In a way that it really affected me
For 20 years, I wanted to stab him
I thought about you know going I knew a bar young out in north bergen
I knew 20 people that didn't like the guy
He would have been an easy bottle over the head to break and the cops would have came or whatever
but
The last 15 years I loved them for what he did
Because he put a thorn in my side
And that thorn stayed in there for a long fucking time
It stayed in there till I was
33 years old
From the time I was 14
So what was the thorn the quitting or the fact that he didn't like on or the thorn in my side was that I let him beat me
And I was not raised
To let somebody beat me especially mentally
If somebody's six for four two eighty twenty two years old they're gonna beat me up
I'm 57 years old even when I was 21
If you were six or four two eighty you were gonna beat me up. Yeah
But I let him
Beat me mentally
I met I let him beat me to the point that I quit
There was a movie that came out in 1977
It was on a couple weeks ago. It's called one on one with robbie benson
It's about a college kid a high school star
that goes to a big-time college
And
He just starts to fall through the cracks
The style of basketball that he was designed to play
That's not what was in the curriculum at the school
So the coach came to him one day and said I want you to renounce
your scholarship
And he told him I'm not doing it
I don't care what you put me through and the coach put him through fucking hell
The coach would have him fouled
He would have tough guys. They broke his nose
They took away his fucking scholarship money. They took away his booster money
They took away everything from this fucking kid
But they didn't take his fucking balls away
So he got two jobs
And he practiced basketball all fucking night
You know, he played basketball on them one day
He was on the team two guards got hurt and they put them in
And he ended up winning the game
And then they his name was steel and at the end of the fucking
The movie the the coach calls him into the office
And the coach goes i'm very proud of you
He goes you didn't listen to what I told you to do but we ended up winning the fucking game
And he goes i'm very proud of you and he goes
I just want you to know you can have your scholarship back
And he tells him what the guy told him he goes up your ass with a red hot poker
I could play anywhere the fuck I want now, bitch
Fuck you and he walks out of the guy's office. Oh, sure. You know, he didn't let that guy beat him mentally
He let the guy beat him take away his job. You can do everything you want to me
But you're not gonna beat me mentally. I let that guy
Get inside my head and made me quit something I love doing
Until this day I love doing I don't have the capabilities to do it anymore
I can't shoot over my shoulders
But if my shoulders are fine, I'd probably be playing an over 50 league right now
Even if it was three on three half court basketball
I was that good as a basketball player and my friends will tell you when you see them
I was that good as a basketball player. I mean
When I got to my sophomore year, I realized I was five for 10
I looked at my mother. She was five for four
And I looked at my father. He was six for four
And I looked at the rest of my family and they were all on the five feet
You know, what was I gonna do? What was I I had good legs? I could jump
I could grab the rim when I was in the eighth grade, but that wasn't enough
To get me a scholarship. At least I didn't think so
But that wasn't it. I just quit because he cracked me
I let him fucking crack me
So looking back, well, do you wish you had gone back sophomore year and tried again or I wish I wouldn't have quit school
And I should have played even if I sat the bench
Even if I sat the bench
My problem was I realized too soon. I did the biggest mistake
I realized too soon. I wasn't gonna get nowhere. So I did what
Most people do they quit
That's I'm never gonna get to that point
So I'm gonna quit. You know what?
I was good enough
To play all four years like I wouldn't have started varsity my senior year
I would have sat the bench. I would have been like number 12
But I was still been on varsity
Right, I'm saying like I wasn't that good to start. I didn't have the body to start
No, it's uh, it's tough. It's tough to jump. I could rebound
And I could do all you have had a place on the team
Huh, you would have had a place. I would have had a place on the team
I wouldn't have been the start. I wouldn't have been all state. I wouldn't have been
I wouldn't have gotten a scholarship to basketball. I would have just called what people call lettered
And for me, I didn't want a letter. So I said fucking
I'm quit. That's the easiest fucking solution
so when I got
You know, I tell people this all the time I didn't get
I got into comedy to become a man
I didn't get into comedy to become a comic. I came into comedy to become a man because
At some point you have to become a man when you do this
You have to be responsible. You have to
Go above and beyond
You know, I'm doing comedy 28 years
Fucking sadly. I went to kickboxing
I had to go to two parties with my daughter. I did not want to do that 930 spot at the store
Didn't want to do it guys
Didn't want to do it
I had no choice
I had no fucking choice. I had to go down there follow Eliza
She fucking destroyed the room
I had to go follow her
Had a great time seeing that I was home by 1030. That's at the point. I didn't want to go 28 years
It's that time what when your mind tells you
Not to do something. It's what we went back to
January fucking third when we did the podcast resistance
This is what steven
tells you about
Resistance resistance comes
in every way whether you
Going to build the house
Like he said a diet plan a career change
anything that
Requires us that anything that what what's going to make us better
That's the shit that was that's when resistance
Fucking really turns it up
You know that's from resistance
Really fucking turns up the heat on you when you want to do something that's going to better your fucking life
so
You know I do things now
Listen, the last thing I want to do is lift weights
Okay, I'm gonna take it. You know even enjoy it. I'm an old man. I enjoy it, but I'm an old fucking man
You know like I'm an old fucking man
Mondays at 10 o'clock. I lift weights
And when and thursdays at 10 o'clock. I lift weights. Why?
Because I have to do it. It's part of the gig
It's part of this gig
For me to go on the road. I have to stay healthy
And for me to stay healthy you have to stay strong for me to be strong
You got to lift fucking weights
You know
That's it. I have to so
I forced myself
To do all these things because I know it's going to make me that much better
I'm not better than anybody else. I just failed more than anybody else
That's it. That's that's the basic truth
And one day you just tell yourself. I'm not going to fail anymore
Or better yet. I'm not going to fail at this
I'm going to fail a ton of things
But this I'm going to work at
Like a fucking surgeon
And when you want something, you know, my niece is in medical school
She fucking studies
You know, she goes to classes five hours a day
And then she studies 12 hours a day
You know, that's 17 hours, you know, she studies then she works like
One hour two hours at some fucking lab in jersey or something like that
She's 20
I was 20. I didn't sleep
You got all that energy, you know
Well, I mean is there also a way to look at it
Because like you what you said earlier like a failure is not
Like failure happens. So when you say you're not going to fail
Is it also like
Coming back from the failure like not letting it
Be over because like in a way isn't bombing failing
But you come back you could you that day, right?
That day that moment
You failed for that moment
Now when you really fail is if you go home and quit and never come back on that stage
That's where you fail when I fell off a horse. I didn't get back on the horse
I failed as a cowboy, but I wasn't looking to be a cowboy either
So it didn't really matter to me
But when you fail at a business when you fail at a venture
When your idea fails
It doesn't mean you're a fucking failure
It means that you didn't think it out. Good enough. You didn't see this
You weren't prepared for it. I failed as a father the first time
For years. I was like, I'm a fucking failure as a father
I would listen to fathers. I would see guys like josh wolf
I saw him as a father just
It was fucking inspiring
My utmost respect for josh wolf
Goes from what I see them go through for 10 years as a father
By himself a single dad
I will be
indebted to that man
To give me a lesson in character till the end. I die. What whatever you might think of josh
Oh, I don't like comedy chaos. I don't give a fuck what you like is I'm telling you
That that guy's got the character of a fucking a gentleman for what he did
For what he did with those kids, especially when they weren't his kids
Okay, they were his kids by marriage
They weren't they didn't come out of his dick. One of those kids came out of his dick
He took all three of them
When I saw josh wolf that did that I would snuck coke every night
Because I was a failure as a father
He had josh is doing it and doing comedy and doing everything around it
I couldn't even fucking be a father
But I said to myself
I took care of his kids, you know, I always say I'm different podcast like the canvas kids and
I was tight with trevor who I really love
You know, he's in the army now. He's old enough now
But I was really tight with the girl because I had a girl
I had a daughter. So I went out of my way
To be extra special to that girl
So somebody could be extra special to my daughter
Do you know what I am like was like that?
And that's where I am towards most kids until I had my own daughter
You know, I I
I failed
But I knew I wasn't a failure as a dad
You follow me. So this guy
He figured he just
Didn't fit in the cracks of the Giants
And then when he went to the Jets, maybe they had too many of those guys in the same position, you know
Just because you failed it doesn't mean you're a failure
It just didn't work out that time
Now I could understand your ill feelings about not going back and wanting to do it. I get it. I did the same thing
I'm with you
But something inside you has to push you to go back
That that basketball thing stayed with me for a fucking long time
Me quitting and then I quit karate
When I was 16 another thing
That was just
Unnecessary quit
Unnecessary quit, you know unnecessary
You know, so now they
In the back of my mind that had made it all right for me to quit things
So
I don't want to work in a warehouse
I don't want to cook
I don't want to bartend. I can't tell you how much I wanted to bartend
Couldn't tell you when I was 19
I had this big
Fucking plan of a bartending. I was in the
Revolutionized bartending. I had learned from my mother
I had learned from a school, you know, I was a people person. Yeah, I did great things as a bartender
Before all the bad fucking reasons
If I would have stuck it out at one restaurant and said I'm gonna be a bartender
With the intention of taking over the bar staff
Taking over the bar management and eventually being the gm
I could have done it and ran a great restaurant
And had good advertising and I know how to get people to a bar
You know, it's funny. I was having a conversation with my uncle years ago
And I go you want to run a bar
You got to have three hookers out of there
You got to go and get three hookers yourself and go can I talk to you for a second? I got this bar
Listen, I don't want a piece of your action. I'll I'll let you drink there for free
Just come in there every night looking like you are
If some guy comes up to me is looking for action
I'll tell him you want this and we'll cut the deal right there in there
That's the first thing I got. I got three broads in there the second deck
Just in case why not
And I got a half a lesbian too that he's asked to in case you're visiting from out of town for the small 50
You got to have a drug dealer in there. Whether you do drugs or not
Whether you do drugs or not to get people to go to your bar from monday through thursday
There better be a drug dealer food court of like debauchery. Yeah, I'm not saying it's a food court. I went to a bar
I went to a friend of mine's bar in jersey two years ago
And I sat there and this guy's on the up and up
The guy's bar I went to
I'm known him for 40 years
This guy's never touched a drug never done nothing
I drove all the way out to you know welcome the bar and stuff
I'm sitting there watching him talking to him and my brother george. He drove me out there
And while we're talking
I'm seeing that this is like every other bar in the country. He's telling me how well he's doing
I'm watching the three chicks behind the bar with their fucking fake tits
I'm watching the sports on the tv. You know, I'm watching that he runs a happy hour
For certain beers. Um, I see that he has food. He's doing all the right things
But I also so I saw one guy going out of the bathroom
25 times with other guys
That means there was somebody selling coke on the fucking site
That's a bar
Yeah, I guess so well at now. I know this dude 40 years. I know he don't have the guy there
I know that's not his guy
I know that he's worried about his liquor license. Everybody is nobody wants
Coke sold at your bar. You have a liquor license
If they even suspect you though, you ain't your liquor license
so
but
I know that a bar can't exist without a code deal
I
Know for you to have that Tuesday through fucking Thursday action in there
Friday and Saturday people go out to dates
But I know Thursday through fucking Tuesday through fucking Thursday
You gotta have somebody in there slinging something
Otherwise you go to the comedy store, for example, I go to the comedy store. I don't do cocaine
I don't do it and I don't want to do it. I go in there. I take a drink of water
I sit in the back. I watched the two comics before me. I go on stage
I go out and take a few pictures
I shake a few hands. I sneak through the kitchen. I get the fuck out of there
If you asked me a year ago
Are people doing coke at the comedy store? I look in the face because I'm so naive and tell you no
I heard that after I leave at about 11 30 that place becomes fucking narcos
Fucking mexicans dropping off helicopters and shit
You know, this is what I heard. I don't know how true it is
Well, I'm gonna say, you know when I was there buying coke the dog guy saw coke when I was there
He's long been gone. Right. But do you think it's
Do you notice it because you you know what to look for or for me a guy who's never bought a coke in my life?
Oh, I know I might never see it, but I'm not looking for it
Right. I don't want to think you're looking for but you reckon you at least recognize it
Oh, if I see somebody lit. Yeah, I know it they're lit
Right. I know it they're lit, but I don't see anybody lit because it's 9 30 when I'm down. Okay. It's 10 15. It's 10 30
Narcos, you know
I get in the car. It's 10 30
Nobody's fucking lit yet
Is there a reason for that? Do you leave early on purpose?
No, no, no, I just leave early because I gotta get up at 6 15 in the morning and wake up wake up with a kid
That's the only reason why I leave early. I don't I don't I don't listen
I wouldn't care if somebody did drugs around me or not
I did so many drugs. How hypocritical will I be if somebody around me do drugs? I tell my comedian friends
That they're doing coke and they're stuck at a plateau
That they should consider
Not doing coke no more just look at what happened to me after I stopped on coke
My whole everything changed I look from within I started telling more stories
You know, I became a little bit more active up on stage
Little things. I know that the cocaine holds you back. I don't give a fuck what anybody tells you
I know if you bring Richard prior back from the grave today as much as he liked coke as much as I did he'll tell you
There's a big difference on stage when you're doing coke and you're not doing coke
You know, I had Madison got clean for a while before he died
I already was fucking great
It was two different fucking people you connect more with your material your heart's not blocked
To drugs block your heart
The drugs block your heart certain drugs block your heart
My one doesn't block my heart from my stand-up
But when I would do cocaine it would take away the humanity from my stand-up. It was like a computer saying material
That's the big difference. I feel that's the difference. I feel
Since I haven't done drugs and do comedy
Obviously, I don't think you're gonna say like people need to do
Drugs to be a good comic, but do you think like the the mixture of failures or just getting over something?
Makes you a better
Worker or person or I don't know good. Like do you think life's too easy? You're not gonna access these parts of you
Listen man, you gotta learn how to dig deep
In your life
Things are gonna happen in your life parents dying
You know animal dies a lover a wife a good friend
You know
You decide when you don't want to fail anymore
You wake up one morning and go, you know what?
Life's gonna give me flat dies, right? Yeah, batteries are gonna die, right?
People are gonna cut you off. Yeah, right. It's gonna rain
Powers are gonna go out
Hurricanes are gonna happen
Earthquakes these are all things I cannot control
I can't control this shit. I go in the car right now and I go to switch the car and go
I can't control that. That's not my fault. I can't control that
I could control a few things
That and which is me and my actions
I can't control what you're doing. I wish I could I wish I could
Tell people but you can't you can't control people
People got nobody when I was being fucking crazy
Who was gonna control me people spoke to me? I took their words to heart. I'm not gonna lie to you
And the older I got I took better advice
You know the older you get you take better advice because you see you're failing
I am failing and he's not lying
This guy's not lying to me. This chick is not lying to me. I'm not doing the job
You know, you know any jobs I had that
People came up to me like you're not doing a good job like and I quit whatever was something I wasn't into
when I installed gutters not gutters
I had installed pipe
For a while. I think I quit after three days like, you know sprinkler pipe. Okay. Yeah, like
That shit I had you had to dig like
Five and three quarter inches exactly. I'm like, what's it do between five and three quarters and six right inches
The guy couldn't even give me an answer
And the him and his wife would break my balls every day. I remember like it was yesterday
1983 the summer they broke I'm out there sweating my ass up and they're like, ah, this is five and three
eights
Does it matter?
Just put the fucking thing in
Then the inspector came one day. That's when it really pissed me off. He goes it wouldn't
It wouldn't hurt to be six inches
And the guy's like, yeah, but
And I'm like, you know what you are
You're a sack of shit is what you are. Right. I'm on my hands and knees taking little patches of dirt
Putting it in the whole thing
Like if I'm building a fucking lego track here, like I'm I'm on that fucking show building legos that is an adult
I don't go fuck myself up the floor fucking days
You got me in here on my hands and knees
Because what's six inches that the fucking blade is six inches, right?
So I would measure it from the fucking blade exactly
He would come and it doesn't have anything to do with this
What I'm telling you is I had everything, you know, like I had all those fucking jobs
I failed that, you know
Failing makes you fucking tough
Failing at different nobody's gonna fucking hit it big. I wish they do
I wish anybody who sang a song on youtube hit it big. I wish it was that easy
But it's not that's why I love people go. I'm gonna make this
Video go viral. That's why right now at living here 23 years
I love when people tell me I got a new agent. What's that gonna do for you?
Right
What's that gonna do for you in today's world a new agent ain't gonna do nothing for you
Because you're not going after it
You have to go after you have to get breakdowns
You have to sit there and look through the breakdown
And that's at eight in the morning
They come out like the night before and then they keep coming out every couple hours
So you have to sit there as an actor on the computer. You're not supposed to get those. Those are illegal
But people sell them to you
You know, you go to a fucking agents assistant and say dog
I need the breakdowns. I give you 200 a month. What?
Boom, you have to break downs every fucking morning
As soon as they get to the office
And it's something that we've talked about before but it's just I was talking with steve tomorrow about last night
Because you you said that a failure makes you stronger and it does but it can also break you down
and and I think one of the hardest things is that it
When you're growing up, it feels like okay, you do something and then this happens and it's over
Now as an adult, you just keep doing it. You just have to keep forever
And there's no retirement like you have to work out forever. You have to look at the breakdowns forever forever
It's a it's a it drags. What what if you got an office job tomorrow?
You have to do it forever
What if you became a cop?
You got to do it forever. That's why I stress here
Don't go for money
Go for what you love doing because you're gonna have to do it forever
So I
Every day in a certain fucking way
You know a certain way I have a friend that's been at ups since 1981
That was the only job he's ever had in his whole life his ups started as a loader
You know the more failures you have
The tougher you become
The tougher you become you fall down you get up you fall down you get up
You try that joke. It doesn't work. You write another one. That one doesn't work. You write another one
That one doesn't work. You write another one. You know, you build the house the house falls. Fuck it
We build another one
This one is held but the roof was fucking shaky
You know, you don't build the perfect house the first time
You know, that's why you use somebody experience
And then the more houses you build you lose those people pretty soon you're building houses
And then the big thing is not to have a big enough ego
Not to take advice from people
That's the problem that you have that some people rather do something wrong
Then ask for advice and do it right
Why do it wrong?
Do it right the first time
Even though it's it's
You know, what a listen man
I'm doing calmly. I see what birch doing
And tom segura and sebastian are doing
And bill burr is doing and i'm like maybe i'm doing something wrong
I know for a fact i'm doing wrong but i guarantee
Segura is on the other hand saying to himself
Maybe i'm doing something wrong
We all have a self doubt
You have self doubt, but it's also interesting because you guys
It seems like at that level you guys have are all doing the same thing
But you do it a little bit differently for whatever works for you. It has to work for you
This life has to work for you. You're playing this life on home field. It's your home field
For years, you're playing away one day. You finally get to play at home field
Now you got to figure out how to play at home every week
And stack it so it still works for you. That's it
It has to work for you. It has to make you happy. It has to work out for your family
What you do affects every little piece
Of everything that happens, you know, it has to work for you
If i was 29 right now
Not married no mercy
no podcast
And i was selling comedy clubs out
Never mind theaters. You wouldn't see me in this town
He's been on the road all the time. I'd be on the road every thursday friday saturday
Leave wednesday night
I would not take the eight o'clock flight back on sunday morning
I would take
The six o'clock flight back
Get here at midnight
Sleep all day monday
And do it all over again
I would probably take
december and january off
And i would work those other fucking whatever weeks
Because that's what i'm allowed to do. I don't have a responsibility. I don't not have to be here
Everybody has different things. Guess what bird has two daughters
Bird likes going out heavy on big heavy tours
You know, it's a party for bird that works for bird
You know tom does little tours. He was in this weekend. Christine is out for a few weeks
You know, they switch
So you have to make it work for you
But i'm not even talking about comedy. I'm talking about even life
You know
I work in this fucking warehouse joey
You know, I don't do nothing at night. Well, then work nights and have your day. You'd rather be open the daytime
You'd rather be out in the 80 degree fucking weather work fucking nights, then
You can work from home now. There's a lot of jobs. You can work from home
There's so many different options that you have but that's what we're talking about
It's right now. You're always playing on the away
One day you play on your field. It takes time to get life to be on your playing field
Once you get it on your playing field now you have to keep it there
That's the secret knowing what to do once you get there. I can't wait to be a headliner
I can't wait to be a master electrician. I can't wait to own my own bar and then you get there and you fail
Because you weren't prepared for that. You were just focused on getting there
You didn't think about what you were gonna do when you got there
Or you didn't even he thought you knew
It's time. I'm just gonna buy a fucking bar and have a fucking great time. No
No, you got to fucking measure the shots
No, you got to see what your profit to fucking be a ratio is you got to see what your busy times are
This isn't just a fucking party
And that's what a lot, you know, I always bring houston up
houston comedy number one in the country
Fucking best open mics best everything for years
The problem was it was too much of a party and
when
Comics went down there the top comics
They would lose their mind for six days
Like burt does he loses his fucking mind like I would do for six days
I wouldn't go to sleep like her birds out
You know, my goal was to go get kalachi's of eight
Snortcoats I go get kalachi's of eight. I didn't have no responsibilities
You know that you could only do that for so fucking long and then things start happening
And then you start getting sick. So you have to make these little adjustments in your life no matter what it is
You know how hard it is for
A guy was trying to raise a family that all of a sudden he gets sick and he has to tell his job
He can't work that many hours a week
You know, I know for me right now at my age
If you're paying to come see me on the week, I'm gonna tell you something
Whether it's the late show or the second show, I'm gonna give you a fucking everything I got
I'm gonna give you everything I fucking got
I can't do that if I do that Wednesday through Saturday
But the time you see me Friday night, I'm gonna be dog shit. I'm gonna be honest with you
If you see I'm coming to your town and I work that Wednesday, don't even bother paying the money to come see me
I'm telling you at least I'm honest with you
I'm gonna be dog shit because I'm 57. This doesn't work for me no more
You know what two shows on a Friday and two shows on a Saturday work for me. Just great
They great when I go to tempi
Valentine's day I do that Thursday. I'll be fine because I want to do radio
I get up. I stay up late. I probably work out. I have a friend to work out with
My buddy owns fucking 10 planet phoenix, you know, whatever down there. So I got different options
But
The Wednesday through sunday shit sunday. You really want to come see me sunday? You're gonna see pure dog shit
You're gonna see somebody going through the fucking motions. Why because I'm not touring. I know more. But guess what?
I know this
So an agent's calling me and say hey do this
No
Because I won't be able to cover the spread for those people on this
I'm doing a tricky week in may and people are worried like what why are you doing this?
You never do this because I know I could do it because I have nothing else before that
And nothing else after that for a long fucking time
it's kind of so it's like
Like now you see
It's not that you don't or can't fail
But you notice where failures failures are and you avoid it
So if I was going to work at sunday, that's that's a failure
When I took
All those pre economic classes
I learned a lot. I finally got to
Take those economic classes and figure them out into life
It's the same thing in life
You know with with employees
You know
How when you look at an employee when you have a tire shop, okay?
And your tire shop is open six to six. That's a 12 hour fucking day
yeah
We're young we could do that shit six days a week. In fact, I did it six days a week
I could work that shit six days a week. I could work at seven fucking days a week
But then in time you're going to see that as you get older that's and but you're still going to do it because your family needs the money
Your family needs the money. You never put away money. Your family needs the money or whatever
How good is an employee like you have to decide on like our friend, bobble lingus. He's an accountant. Okay
Church family
I don't want him working 11 hour days
Because after eight hours, he's going to be giving away my fucking money is my right
He's gonna be paying bills that aren't even fucking do he's seen so many fucking numbers. So everybody had
Everybody has
a different
Thing that they could do some people have six hours, you know, if you have a computer firm today
And I don't and I hire you least I had to be a data entry guy
Are you really going to be putting data entry in eight hours a day?
Not really. Oh, yeah, you listen to Tom Segura. You listen to Joey Diaz
You listen to bill burr. You listen to mpr
You're watching fucking Schultz videos, right? Matt Schultz videos. Andrew Schultz videos
You're looking at an old patrice o'neill video
You're looking at a fucking mitch headberg video bottom line. I really got you for five fucking hours
Yeah, at best. Yeah, so why am I gonna be following me?
So now I learned that you know what I'm gonna hire these guys for six hours
They're gonna work five days a week. They're gonna work 30 hours and not gonna qualify to get insurance
Because they're still gonna be part-time, you know, there's no overtime there because I'm gonna bring another shift in that fucking 12
To work till eight. I want my guys fresh
You always want your guys fresh, you know when you have these fires
You have these firemen that go into like two days without sleeping
God bless their hearts. But the longer that they're tired
The the more shit could happen
The more little mistakes could happen. They could fall off a cliff
They could fall onto a roof that's not secured
So with me with comedy now, I know exactly
What I can do, you know, next week I'm gonna temp me
Guess what? I'm doing two shows at the store this sunday night. I'm not going out next tuesday
Really, okay. Yeah, because I'll be Thursday night. I want to be ready for
So I already have it planned out already. I look at my month
And I can tell you what I'm gonna be doing
March I had to move my bray dates to june because I'm shooting
Some movies so I had to move that one date from march whatever to june 4th through the 7th
So my march is gonna be really fucking easy. So my april could be a little heavier
But this year if you look at my schedule, it's gonna be light all the way till about august
Then august december we're going off
I'm going off big time, you know
And I'll rest and I'll take all the january off
And but it's just it's it's nice hearing it from someone
Because yeah, like especially now for me and I have to but
I'm in the mode where I take every gig I get offered because I want I want a choice
But but at a certain point I will at a certain point
I'll be hopefully in a similar position to you headlining 10 years, but
You have to turn off like you have to adjust and be like, okay, you don't take everything now
I met I met my wife at the 20 years ago
That means I was doing stand-up seven years when I met her
I got her involved in my stand-up
I let her get involved before that I would argue with her and bang heads with her
I let her get involved in like 208
And everything changed
Okay, I let her get involved in 208 and everything changed because she stopped me from being a whore
I was talking about comic friend of mine the other day and I said to him
It's time for you to start listening to your wife more
Because we're whores
Once you become a comic you become a whore like the man said if ices started a streaming service
You would call your agent tomorrow. Yeah
If I told you right now, trust me. I know people do it. I know
people tape for people
If ices started a streaming service
That's the whores we are living in LA as comics actors writers were fucking whores
That's why you have to get somebody opposite you
That's not a whore
That'll say to you that deal ain't worth it
That's not worth it
That's not worth it
But by 2008 I already had five movies under my belt
I had 10 tv shows under my belt
You know, I already had a cd
I didn't have to do the shit I was doing
I could turn stuff down
You're in no position to turn
Anything down like a roller skating rink
That they're russian and they're not gonna understand you you still go there
Whether they're paying you or not. It's a set
And right now all you're looking for is sets
You know, I I've done plenty of movies. I don't agree with it
I don't agree with it
I don't agree with
Me doing a 12 hour movie and your apprenticeship is you're working for free
That's not my game at all. I'm never gonna agree to that for anybody in my world
I don't want anybody working for free in my world never
But
It's good to do once in a while
It's good to do from time for stand up. It's just an hour
It's just 10 minutes you're doing for free. It's something you're doing
24 hours a hey, whatever then we gotta pay
But in the beginning
You know, I always knew there was no money
I wanted to fall in love with it first
There's an intimate detail. I want to talk about about somebody but I can't
when I dated this girl
In the beginning because of everything I had done before
I didn't have that much sex when I was my wife. That's why our relationship lasted
Because I didn't make it about sex. I made it about us having a bond at first
I didn't make it about us having great sex. Everybody gets married after they have great sex
And they realize they don't have a fucking bond
Right. Yeah, you can have great sex with a fucking donkey
You know, if that pussy's tight enough and she warms up her lips
You don't know what your dick will feel like. You know what I'm saying?
I mean, I'm not saying that I want to have fucking sex with donkey
I'm just saying that we sell our we judge our fucking love by how good the pussy is
But she's a failure as a fucking woman. She sleeps all day. She don't get up
She won't get a job. She don't clean you got fruit flies
Your kids go to school dirty
But she sucks your dick for a half hour when she puts a lighter under your nut sack and that freaks you out
So that's why you stay with it. Right. We makes it, you know, men make
Men and women make bad
Whatever decisions because of the sex and guess who made a bunch of those
Me
You know a girl would suck your balls. I'm marrying that bitch. Thank god and maria
But yeah, I was like that. I was shallow like that. Yeah, I was very shallow mindset. Yeah, it's a mindset
When I met my wife, I made sure that our relationship
Wasn't based on sex at first
I would take it for coffee and then drop her off and she would look at me like you're not coming up. Not really
Keep that away from me. Yeah, because I want and she even asked me
And I told but I got the eight month mark. I explained to her why we're doing this
And she was like, oh, okay
And then you know after that erupted and we started having sex and everybody was happy
But I really wanted to fall in love with somebody. Yeah, something that we don't do naturally
We've forgotten because everything about is about the instant fuck the hook up
That is to that. Wouldn't it just be nice to talk to somebody?
It'd be great
Go to coffee and really have fun with somebody
When was the last time you were with somebody really genuine that you really really really enjoyed him
Because what good is the blow job? If once you start talking, I'm waiting to put a gun in my mouth
Yeah, that's I did that that girl I you watch whatever her name was you want to stick a gun in your mouth her milkshake
and it's uh
That that describes. I mean, obviously I need to lose weight
But I'm not even there's this I could date right now, but that's
That is exactly why I don't is the idea
The idea of going through like
And having not not that they're bad people, but just they're not for me
Like we're not for each other and I'm sure girls have been on dates with me like jesus christ. What is he talking about?
like that whole process is
awful
awful
Just like I don't want to want to put myself through it awful. It's an awful process, but
Since you were saying it, you know, we have to just talk about it. That's what uh
This podcast today just made me realize that
I had to really go for it at the age of 27 when I got out of that halfway house and
I want to wish my daughter a happy 30th
Even though she doesn't want to speak to me anymore. What are you gonna do? I have accepted it. I've moved on
it was uh
you know, she's judging me by the
boy that I used to be not the man I became so
So
Fuck everybody. You know I'm saying I do this to make my friends happy
I want my the people around me to be happy and most importantly. I want to be happy
And that's it. I hope this podcast uh
Helps you out in one way or another. We always start the first of the month
With just us just to fucking get out some bullshit
Some people like it. Some people don't go fuck yourself. I'm the captain kirk of this motherfucker enterprise or understand me
Don't forget
February 13th through the 15th
Tempe improv next weekend
And then February 28th. I'm at treasure motherfucking island with dean del Rizzi for one night only it's a friday night
It's the 28 or the 29th. I don't know go look at the fucking calendar and choose for yourself
That's all I got in February. Like I said, I keep it slow because I want to give you the best show. Is that like the store?
I could get a spot at the store every night
Okay
I played safe
You're coming from fucking england to see me. I don't want to eat a bag of dicks in front of you
Right, you know I'm saying I'm gonna eat a bag of dicks from time to time. I think I did last tuesday one of those nights
Yeah, you're saying you had two rough sets. Yeah, I had two rough sets and that's happens
But if I went to the store every night, I guarantee bomb three nights
Bomb three times because you're doing seven sets
You're gonna go 50 60 percent. I'm just playing percentages guys. I just play percentages
You know, I think out of all the places I did
Last year I bombed in like three. I know I bombed in New Orleans
I know I bombed in one of the shows in san franc, you know
It just doesn't go your way
But you do the more shows you do the more you bomb
But the better you'll get
You see them saying right so a setback, you know is also
You know when I was a roofer, I can't tell you how many roofs I lived on fire
When we were doing hot tar roofs. Oh my god. He was on fire by mistake. I don't know what I'm doing
That's why I didn't like fucking hot tar roofs. I like ballasted roofs with rocks and shit
Once I had to do that hot tar shit. That was not for me
That shit was not for me those things would blow up
Flight, you don't know how many Mexicans I see burned
From that hot tar and shit like that because they always always Mexicans get burned every time because they buy them fucking machine
The thing blows up. Yeah, I don't you know, I'm all right, man. I'm I'm just trying to put the pieces together
I'm just trying I'm just trying to fucking stay alive here
Oh, I just have this image of a roof on fire. Oh, please because you gotta put that hot tar on it and then
I can't tell you how many of those machines went on fire when I was on a roof
And I'd walk away sometimes
One time I just flew down the ladder like what are you doing? There's a fire up there. Go up there with a fire extinguisher
I look like a fucking guy with a fucking dog with spots. I ain't no fucking fire, man. I'm not going up there
What am I gonna do? I don't know nothing about fires
listen
I'm gonna tell you once I'm gonna tell you a thousand times right now
The big thing in this country is the fucking
The ripoff of cbd. I saw it with that yin yang juice 20 years ago
Remember that juice they used to sell the chinese thing when they started selling out liquor stores and you would drink it
And it would taste like shit. I saw it then and i'm seeing it with cbd now
Don't buy none unless you know what the fuck you're buying. I don't give a fuck what the guy tells you to store
