Yeah, but you know Zany's downtown Chicago is dark You can't see what's going on. So I did a joke and and no joke usually does really well Nobody's laughing and I'm hearing little skirmishes in the crowd. I said what what the fuck happened Did I do the wrong thing a guy and another guy for whatever reason? I don't know how it happened Maybe somebody's interrupting somebody he just fucking clocked them and then him and his chick got up and the guy who did it Him and his chick got up and got out of there the manager had to get involved
Starting point is 00:04:04 So I just you know, I just kind of plowed through with the set. That's tremendous. That's what it is That's comedy. I have a hard time at Zany's downtown. Yeah, you don't like it. No, no, not that I don't like it Yeah of the club. It's they don't like me There's just some clubs you're gonna go to over years. Oh, yeah, well, I don't know if it's psychologically Yeah, or something you while you're on stage You don't have a good time and they don't seem to have a good time. Yeah used to be a club in Baton Rouge, Louisiana They didn't laugh
Starting point is 00:04:38 Right, but after the club they all came up to you and hug you in total. Yeah, great Yeah, I never felt anything like that in my life, right different clubs, you know, Irvine improv I love the club. They just don't love me, right? I could do Irvine I feel like I'm losing with every fucking joke. Well that yeah, Braya. I love Braya Ontario You can light yourself up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I feel that way about like the Northeast. I know I love I listen I love the store, but I feel like I I am like designed for the Northeast and For the Midwest a little bit when I get out here west coast people are a little bit more relaxed They're a little bit more laid-back. I'm a little darker a little bit more aggressive
Starting point is 00:05:17 I feel like they're kind of like what's going on, you know, see, you know beat these beach towns Everybody's doing good. They're surfing all day. They come in. I'm screaming about you know, Disney You know raping your kids or whatever I'm talking about. They don't get that, you know, what about the south? How they doing this out? You know, I've not been to the south a lot. I taped a Netflix thing years ago in Atlanta, which was good I mean, I haven't been to the south a lot. I Did some stuff in New Orleans, which is fun. I I think this year I'm gonna be in the south more than I've ever been. How long have you been doing comedy about ten years? At ten years to 2010 late 2010 when I was like doing comedy I
Starting point is 00:05:59 discovered the south like in 2001 yeah, and I pretty much Scared the shit out of that's right eight of entertainment a ka Charlotte. Yeah, I don't love Charlotte comedy zones Yeah, I just did Charlotte. Okay had Had a string of one-nighters, right? There were triple runs only they paid a hundred dollars more, right? Still dark rooms and I remember going on them and eating shit every night. Yeah from fucking Tennessee to
Starting point is 00:06:30 West Virginia, right? I remember going to Zany's first time and opening for Stanhope had to be 2001 and Going up there and having them seven minutes and then losing Chicago or Nashville Nashville and then watching Stanhope go up and he'd hold them for 14 Right, and then they'd realize what are we laughing at? We're Christians, right? And I so I said, you know what? I hate dick in Nashville. I hate dick in Atlanta I remember waiting all fucking day to do a guest set at Charlotte. Who do I know was black night, right? I walk in there. It's fucking little Africa. I walk into the guest spot They look at me like nah.

Starting point is 00:07:18 This is when you gotta sit at the this is when you set the set of Starbucks Yeah, and wait and fucking take a sip every hour You gotta sit there and dehydrate because God forbid you finish that coffee. Yeah, you gotta milk that coffee for hours Yeah, you got to fucking steal a tuna sandwich from the hotel before you leave and shit And now you got to wait cuz you're gonna have enough money just to get the cab The cabs 82 from the fucking cuz the the airport's never close to the comedy club when you yeah, it's funny It's like being a drug addict being a comedian. It's like very similar It's the same thing and the same thing you live the same way live to just accommodate right just to get just to subsist
Starting point is 00:07:56 You live so once I went to Atlanta. I was done.

I was friends with him in Boston at the at the fucking Comedy club we do the open mics never I was in Boston. He had a bit About the guys on the radio getting drunk Tommy Heinz in Drinking Budweiser and that you know, it was just a brilliant bit if you lived in Boston, right?

Yeah, it was an eight-minute bit about You know this fucking two guys You know, he hit the he hit the backboard like a brick, right speaking of bricks How about a toast for the king of beers? Yeah, Budweiser, right? Just fucking constant and I never forget seeing him. I saw two people do that One was this kid in Boston do that same joke in La Jolla and at the three-minute mark He realized where the fuck he was and why he was dying the death of his life. It's great And you can see it in his face. It's the best. I'm gonna tell you who else I saw this happen to when I first met him
Starting point is 00:09:52 Sherka 2002 Sam Tripoli. Oh, wow Sam Tripoli when I first met Sam He was opening up for Pablo and he was doing a whole bit about Ecstasy of some drugs right shit, and I'll never forget that one night Mitzi just Mitzi sometimes past you but in the beginning she didn't know where to put you like I remember she used to put Stan And fucking Two chicks had to follow him. Yeah, and I'm the one time he had to follow this lesbian chick With the fucking the whole head and I was in there and it was like an eight o'clock comedy listen
Starting point is 00:10:38 20 years ago the eight o'clock show was the mild show The ten o'clock show was a little bit more risque. Nobody knew that That was the term you you ate dick for the first show and some people flipped it some people like some people hate Friday late Yeah, a lot of people complain about Friday late show sucks. I fucking hate it. It's hard to sell It's hard to sell a Friday late show. She put Stan Hope up on time I think the show used to start at 830 And she put Stan Hope up at 845 on a Saturday night And I saw it and I go I have to go down and see this I
Starting point is 00:11:19 Still remember the girl's name that had a follow him. I will not mention it I don't not remember the second girl that had a follow But the first girl was a chubby lesbian Okay, and she went up there and they were like in shock. She had like green hair And he I still remembers him grabbing the mic and going keep it going for whatever her name. Yeah, Shirley McClain Yeah, that's not a regular lesbian. That's a real fucking She's had a kids game with a cockpum And they were frozen right like in those days the report you were hearing about Stan
Starting point is 00:11:55 Oh Were that he was like just leveling the improv right what that meant was even the comics were cracking Yeah, like that. We're not gonna follow that like right comics were complaining more by them back then Yeah, he was causing such a fucking ruckus right, but what I saw him cause at the comic store that night Yeah, it was special. He started with that about the cockpum The softball kid games. That's great. He just ran from there. Sometimes I lie I think that's it's fun to watch that. Oh, it's fucking hilarious. Yeah to watch the audience Yeah, when they don't know what they signed up. Yeah, they get shaken out of their comfort. I fucking love it
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah, I love it. Yeah, and I love that Uncomfortable laughter when there's I love bombing. Yeah, there's I don't mind bombing, right? But I like those eight people that are getting it Yeah dying for that life and they're taking the right with you. Yeah, it's your bombing. Those are your people Those are your people. Yeah bombing. Yeah, there's one guy over here that if you do this he fucking giggles I'd rather it's like an outright bomb is good and then obviously killing is good The worst thing in the world is when they're actually having fun, but they're not alive Like they're they're they're there, but they're not there because you can't get mad because I lash out if I'm bombing
Starting point is 00:13:17 I lash out at them a little bit and it's funny to fight with them But it's you know if they're just you know, I wanted the shows this weekend They're all sold out and it's a lot of fans but one of the shows they were having fun But not as much fun as I wanted them to have you see them having fun They were just not and I and I couldn't say hey fuck you because they all bought tickets to see me I just had to you know do as good as and then after the show everybody says we loved it. It was great Thank you so much to take a photo But like during it didn't have that electric energy and then the next show was back to the electric like, you know
Starting point is 00:13:48 Smash and all that stuff So sometimes it's just a psychology of that particular group of people Wait, when did you start doing college 2010? What made you get up? What made me do it the first time? I was in the mortgage business and In 2009 educated No, dropped out of community college to do Percocet and sell subprime mortgages in Long Island Which I still believe is the what I will return to I
Starting point is 00:14:21 believe stand-up is a sabbatical for my true calling which is to work in a strip mall and have great lunches serious lunches and And and take Percocet and and and and telemarket mortgages in the tri-state area All over the country, but the tri-state area we hit because you could go and sit down at the table and have a meeting That I remember we were in the Melville Marriott And there was a CEO of a really big bank there and he was hammered And he looked at me and a few young kids not young we like 24, you know And he said to us he goes boys
Starting point is 00:14:59 There's a cold wind blowing and he was just I mean he was just knocking back booze You know this guy at a family at a big house, and he was leveraged, you know, you know all this was you know, he had you know So he he and I was like looking around the office, and I was like we're done. We're dead in the water It's like it's it's over. It's over. There's no coming back from this My life is done and then I was like it's I'm 25. I've I'm not educated What am I gonna do and I walked into a Coffeehouse tattoo parlor on Long Island Because one of my friends gave me the name of an open mic. He goes go do this open mic and see
Starting point is 00:15:42 What happens any interesting comedy growing up? I mean I loved so I loved like you know, I would see Karlin He'd be great. I remember once when I was coming down from shrooms first year at college somebody showed me bill Hicks his set at Montreal. I think your revelations. I think or relentless I forget which one it was where he's in the black turtleneck and he opens up because I was for the war He goes we had a war in the States and he goes I was in the unenviable position of being for the war but against the troops And I thought that was one of the funniest things I'd ever heard and you come it down from shrooms You're like wait, what the fuck that I even hear that right and I watched that set and I was really like drawn into that
Starting point is 00:16:20 But I mean as a kid I I loved that Chanel I loved all that and I was an actor from when I was six to when I was 12 child actor So I was in plays I auditioned for you know sitcoms in New York all that shit So I was like into theater and stuff like that, but nothing ever worked. I was a failed actor at 11 It's tough, you know, but I took then I took a little break and then 25 I got back in So it was like I always had that bug wanting to be on stage wanting attention Once you got when when you got back on that tattoo place. Yes, how did you feel when you got off the stage? I said, okay. This is where I belong. I fit here. I fit here
Starting point is 00:17:00 I said I fit here which was insane because it was a tattoo parlor cafe And I said the place didn't even make sense, but it's Long Island So nothing makes that like when you would bomb you heard the needle goes And then somebody getting a tattoo would go Next and then you go to the next joke, but it was I said I was like I I'm just gonna keep coming back here And I'm gonna follow everybody here to the next place they go and to the next place they go and then I kept I just kept following People and going where we doing comedy, you know, and that's how I got into it
Starting point is 00:17:36 And then eventually that led me to New York and then it led me, you know years and years later to L.A. Well, what year did you get on stage 2010 2010 September 2010 when did you move to New York? I moved to New York two years after that two years after that all in all in that the first two years I was driving in to New York City and I did a lot of black rooms because black rooms would let you go up You know a lot of the alternative rooms they were, you know more selective They were cunty and you couldn't get in the clubs, but black rooms would let you go up urban urban shows and And they liked me. I was a big white guy. I was funny And you know and they were really fine. My friends loved
Starting point is 00:18:17 Go into these rooms because these guys were killer. I mean we'd see my gaps, you know smoky Suarez These guys are just murderous all my you know Some of my friends would come with me and then when I went to the city I started doing the alternative rooms and you know girls would get up and open a moleskin book my friends stopped coming They were like we've had enough of this But that's what I did primarily for like the first two years was open mics and then I would do You know black rooms and in in Brooklyn and in the Bronx and and then I would do you know Whatever you got you get a club spot here. You get a club spot there, but then I moved in
Starting point is 00:18:53 2012 right before Hurricane Sandy and I moved in with a married couple and Their Marriage they were just getting married and that didn't last that marriage. That was the second divorce I was maybe a part of the first was my parents The second one was I probably shared some blame for both of them because nobody wants a 25-year-old guy Like me moving in with you when you just get married. It's just not what it is. You know, that's not nobody want nobody Whether friends of yours that a cheap room $500 a month and they were comics and they go 500 a month Listen the building was built in 1911. It's a railroad apartment. It's a long hallway in your rooms on one end
Starting point is 00:19:33 Our rooms on the other the showers in the kitchen So somebody's gonna be washing their ass somebody's gonna be making eggs and the bathroom is in the hall of the building But it's on 45th between 8th and 9th Avenue got every subway in the city You have a rooftop you could go up and smoke cigarettes and tell your friends how fucking good you did it to open Mike which I you know would do all the time and they go You can live here $500 a month. So I said done deal in so that's when I went That's when I would consider all in because then you're living in that situation You're living with steam heat and you know, you're 25 you're 27 at that point of 27. I'm not by no means a kid and
Starting point is 00:20:14 I'm you know waking up every day You know because my foot touches the steam pipe and you know gets a you can get a third degree burn And then you're rolling out of bed and that's when I was doing comedy every night And then during the day trying to sell photocopiers in Staten Island Yeah, it's a it's a it's Photo copies the jobs get said. Oh, no the jobs get said but I'm a sales like I'm a sales guy Shit Shit and I always I'm with people that are always also full of shit. My father's full of shit
Starting point is 00:20:45 My grandfather wasn't he was a contractor. He worked, you know, he was real worked with his hands You're not fully shit. You have the gift of gas. Well, I like the way you say it. There's a big difference Right, it's a good big difference in being full of shit, right and being a gift of gas, right? Okay, the gift of gab is You could just talk to people. Yeah, make them at ease. Yes Sell them a product. Yeah, sell them a product. Yeah that they don't need. Yes that they don't need and shouldn't have okay, whether it's you know when
Starting point is 00:21:16 Here's the funny thing What we do is comics when we realize that sales goes into it. That's when everything changes in our game, right? That's true when sales gets into it. You can be the best comedian in the world. You're not selling yourself You're done. You're fine. It's so weird how my background in sales was impeccable. Yeah when I bit into sales I fell in love with it because I was uneducated, right? I was gd. Yeah, and I Knew I didn't want there was one thing there was a couple things. I knew early on a I didn't want a day job Right, that just was not gonna work right world and number two. I didn't want to fucking work for a certain wage every hour Right, I wanted us never to have a ceiling that always made sense to me
Starting point is 00:22:04 Yeah, what does that mean that you're a salesman? That's exactly right someone you're gonna make 800 bucks and you suck it the fuck up and some you make a grand and some Munch you make a grand. Yeah, suck it the fuck up, right and somewhere and then you learn how to balance it You know, right away the first month you make a grant at a steakhouse. You got a porter house for two Fuck yeah, you got a shellfish tower lobster, but some some blue claw crab on that too. Please. Thank you very much Yeah, let's get a couple of Jim Martini's Let's do the cheesecake bring all the appetizers lobster bisque port and cups will drink it while we eat the steak And then it's like then you have then then you realize you have to pay taxes
Starting point is 00:22:42 Because sales is the 1099 they give you a grand you didn't make a grand by the way, you know, oh money So I would get a check and then I would go out and spend money and then I'd realize oh I owe money Like I owe 4,000 of that goes to the government and I didn't pay any of it So that was something to but when I got in the comedy The only job I could get was in Staten Island and it was photocopiers and and selling office equipment sad because when you're selling real estate Of mortgages at least somebody around you's got a lot of money and you could look at them and be like well I want to be back. I want to be you know, my boss this guy Tim

I have like the the shirt that's half in half out I have shoes that are basically moccasins
Starting point is 00:30:18 That I'm I'm passing off his dress shoes because I have no fucking money and these sales guys. They don't understand that And and I'm and I'm walking around walking in hedge funds. I'm walking in the law office. They think I'm homeless They think the people are like wait. Whoa, the secretaries are trying to stop me. I'm like, no, no, I'm trying to sell your copier I sold a few of them like said be just because I'm a fun guy And I'd walk in and they'd be like who's this fucking lunatic Somebody came up to me once ago. Your thing's great. You walk in like a mess People take notice of you. I go. It's not my thing. I have no money They go you think what you do is good. You wear ridiculous shoes. Your shirt's got bird shit on it. It's great
Starting point is 00:30:57 They go, this is like a They go, this is like a fucking thing, you know, they thought it was a thing They're like, yeah, this is this is good. You're like a slob And people but but you know the you know, you memorize the pamphlet you can make people laugh So I sold a few of these things But the problem was now you're starting to do good now. They're like, why don't you come out to dinner? Why don't you meet this guy? What and then the problem is like, well, I got to do open mics I'm not even on shows yet. So I got to do open mics like 6 7 p.m. I can't even do things at 8 or 9 p.m. yet
Starting point is 00:31:27 So eventually I I quit that job because I was like I got to get out of the sales world which I'd been in since I was 22 21 really I had been in sales And then I left it when I was like 28 I just bought it off just mortgages and the copiers always been in sales and then the only job I saw guys like on a tour bus and they were just Yelling at that tourist on a bus that was going through Times Square and now he's like well that guy can't have a boss They can't be any background check to do that job
Starting point is 00:32:02 Some of these tour guides in new york. They were lunatics these people, you know one woman I swear to god would just go on and talk about a knee operation And the people and they were trying to learn about the empire stapling She would say she would hear it. She'd go I've had nine operations on the same foot People would but people would tip her at the end. It was like, it's you know, she was an animal But people felt bad for her so they So they fill the tip cup up at the end
Starting point is 00:32:28 So I was like, oh these people are also in their own way con artists degenerates Marginalized figures from society, you know, some of them thought they were historians some of them They were all full of shit, you know, these guys they barely knew anything I I was just like I'll go up there and make my whole goal was like I'll make everybody laugh So I would you know pass a building and be like what the fuck's going on in there, you know, I'm like, you know I was like, you know, what were you making doing that 15 an hour 15 an hour but checks so that's bad. So I know so I 40 hour work weeks. I never left with a check over 350
Starting point is 00:33:04 Okay, but cash tips every day of either no money When I was lazy and didn't want to give the tour and a russian woman punched me in the stomach once Because we were sitting on the thing it was jack. First of all, all the russians are poor. They come in january february They have no fucking money They're they're poor they come the coldest time of the year and then what you'd have to do a tour for one russian couple And the thing with russians is they have beautiful blue eyes like huskies, but they have no souls So when you see because they have a hundred years of atheism
Starting point is 00:33:35 So they have no soul. So there's no, you know, so when you look in their face, you see There's nothing there So I just sat on the bus and this russian woman said to me she goes you give tour and you fuck fuck I said listen to the automated tour I said i'm not doing it today. You're the only people on the bus. She goes you guy pay money You give tour you give tour and I said no You because I could I could put it on the automated when I was being lazy and the automated would be like And the automated was supposed to be hooked up with a gps, but it was never where it should be
Starting point is 00:34:10 So we'd be by central park and they'd be like you are seeing the 9 11 memorial and everybody would look out Like where's 9 11? You know, they had no idea because the gps these companies don't care because these buses There's no repeat business. Right. You just you you you bang them Bill burt has a great thing where he talks about the guys who sell tickets to these buses They're all africans and Haitians and they all have deep machete scars in their faces They make eight or nine grand a month and they send that all back to africa I think burr. I haven't heard a bit but burt somebody told me that burr either talks about it on a podcast It did it does a bit about it
Starting point is 00:34:44 But they're they're aggressive salesmen. They'll fight each other in the street and then once the tickets are sold It's over. You're not going to complain about this. What are you going to go find new office? And complain about what I said or did who gives a shit? So if I was feeling lazy, but if I was really killing it I could walk off the bus with 200 bucks in cash If I was really killing it like pizza here cheesecake here. Here's the best steaks Here's the great sandwich. Here's the best blocks to walk. You want to see mansions? You know, I could kill it if I wanted to and and then a russia woman
Starting point is 00:35:13 You know, she was she had it so she got up and her boyfriend This was hilarious her boyfriend because I guess she hit him too He didn't even he wasn't even like present It's the thing with certain russian people like he just sat there frozen like he was dead And she got up and she goes you give tour and just sucked me in the stomach hard hard like hard You know, it's kind of demoralizing So I had to pick up the fucking microphone now and be like, all right This is the dakota where john lennon lived you fucking cunt, you know, and then I gave the tour for the rest of the
Starting point is 00:35:47 For like the rest great job was you were doing stand-up? Yeah, I was doing stand-up on a bus I'm doing stand-up comedy on a bus all day Saying whatever the hell I want getting some complaints But my boss didn't care because he doesn't give a shit how many tours a day Two to three tours a day it was brutal So in the heat it was brutal because it's a metal bus and everybody gets up there and Everybody's pouring sweat and people because new york's not a pleasant city to be it's beautiful. It's amazing It's three. It's it's the greatest city in the world, but it's not a relaxing vacation
Starting point is 00:36:21 So you're dealing with people that are like They're all stressed out because they got a Broadway show they got to get to they get this they get that They want to see the Statue of Liberty. They want to go up in a helicopter. They want to do 90 all these fat people from Ohio They want to see central park, but they don't want to walk through it So they got they're like, how do I what do we do? I can't walk through. So, you know So they won't go into subway. They think everybody's gonna stab you with an AIDS needle and so I'm like the subway is safer than up here Right now, you know go down there. It's safer than you know, and they She deal with all those people. I would just make them laugh
Starting point is 00:36:53 Every day and then do spots at night. So that was the job and then Once I started getting a little bit going. I did the Montreal comedy festival 2016 I took the bus out. I sold tickets And did it for the new york comedy festival and people bought tickets and I just did like A crazy tour in New York and just basically said this was my fucking life And then fans of like my podcast and she got to sit on the bus and see what I used to do and it was hilarious You know, because I would talk about like human trafficking and drugs and and you know my roommates and
Starting point is 00:37:30 You know everybody on Broadway. They go, it's must be amazing to be on Broadway I said these people are all one broken ankle away from living on the street Then you see a college student like a high school theater group would come And their faces would go down. I said they don't make any money I said, I know the woman in Phantom of the Opera She drinks soup out of a cup and stares at the rain in the food emporium I said every day she wants to put a gun in her mouth. I said, so let me tell you I said and if she falls and sprains her ankle, she's going to be living in the street
Starting point is 00:37:57 And she's going to go have to go to the suburbs and fuck her way into the middle class And then she's going to have to work at your school, which I thought was funny And but one of the kids started crying one of the But I'm like, this is what it is. This is what life is and that was like my tour and that wasn't for everybody You know, I learned a big lesson last year. I had to go to New York and spend 18 days to shoot a movie And I didn't you know, I grew up on 88th street. Right. That was fucking 40 50 years Guys, you know, I left New York in 83. That was a long fucking time. Yeah, you know in my mind I wish it was still the same New York, right? So I don't know where to stay right
Starting point is 00:38:45 They told me you're gonna be picked up on 36 and third every day. You gotta meet there So I figure let me get a hotel close to that. I don't want to stay in Jersey. I have to come over the fair, right, right You know, and I made a mistake I stayed I stayed at a hotel Where all that shit goes down. Yeah The the the fucking black guy with the axe selling. Yeah, where did you do you remember where you stayed? I'd rather not say I think I gave me a rate that were nice people, but I had to leave. Yeah, I had to leave
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah, that area and I would work out a danger field and I remember saying that New York before you go to New York, you have to take a tourism class. Yeah Like you have to go somewhere Like before you go to New York. Yeah, you gotta do a little you gotta do something. Yeah And I can't even like even Chicago is too big for you. Right go to let's start somewhere small and right yourself up Yeah, because you cannot be a fucking idiot. Yeah, I saw a lot like I made the mistake and stayed I was there for three weeks The first hotel
Starting point is 00:39:55 Was a cool hotel, but a bit too cool funko joey, right? Yeah, I hate those hotels a bit too cool People drinking upstairs, right? No room service The breakfast was English, you know, yeah, I want lamb chops for breakfast. I'll let you know I want two fucking eggs Try to walk around the corner. It was too hip. The only thing the room's cold, you know, the room was cool Okay, I had a had a fucking I couldn't find anywhere to eat New York City walk five blocks Finally, I found the diner and added a cool little greek diner. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:40:32 Second week. I stayed in the heart right by the garden That was the biggest mistake. Yeah of all time. That's a problem over there. Oh my god. Yeah getting in and out of there Was a nightmare. Yeah nights that the hotel had 10 elevators Yeah That's how many people were staying in there every time you got in the elevator. You thought you were in Las Vegas people coughing Forget about now with the coronavirus. Yeah, forget about it. Well people in new york gets 50 million tourists every year
Starting point is 00:41:06 Think of that. It's it's crazy 50 to 60 million every year that come in And they come in primarily from july through december That's the big That's the so it's sandwiched into and then in then january february you get a little break january february march you get a little break Coldest huh? Yeah, but then once april may starts they start ramping up again And then once you get to july forget it I mean and I worked in time square And I remember what it felt like to get up every morning and then have to go into time square and be standing with a cup of coffee
Starting point is 00:41:39 On you know 50th and 7th with a tour bus two tour buses and a line of people with tickets All these people and I never check tickets. They used to get mad at me They used to go you got to check these people's ticket. I go. I don't give a fuck They could be showing me anything. They want to ride the bus. They're gonna ride the bus I'm saying nobody wants to do this. Nobody's getting on these for free. I have to explain this to the people on the company I go nobody wants to do this shit except these idiots. Trust me So nobody none of my friends are getting on nobody's getting a better of me They all have fucking ticket and he's like well some of them abuse the ticket and ride for an extra day
Starting point is 00:42:12 It's like buddy. Who gives a fuck? So I never checked anybody's tickets, but you would have to get them in the bus They were hot It was disgusting. There was no bathroom on the bus People come up to you know, arab guys would come up to you always try to make deals They go you want to pull over I get cafe for you. I get cafe for my wife I get cafe for me. I go we can't we're on a tour bus We can pull over for you to get coffee for your wife like this is crazy, you know But it was just that area of new york
Starting point is 00:42:42 is is is like I liked it And now I now I go back to it and I go I I'm in it for a few minutes ago Okay, but it was something about it that gave you energy if you didn't have it Like if you needed energy it was a drug It was a straight shot of adrenaline every single day main line And I would get I'd do two or three mics and then eventually shows every night And I was like awake and I could do it and I was like
Starting point is 00:43:06 I'm sucking all the energy out of the city because that's the that's the center of energy in the city is that area Fucking crazy. Yeah, but at that. Yeah that area just Just it was I feel bad for tour like I was never a fucking tourist, right? Like I would never let myself be a fucking tourist like never ever You know, like my wife tried to be when I took her to new york the first time Yeah, and I had to cut the legs off of that shit. Yeah, what was she trying to do like just dumb shit Yeah, like shit that even if you live in new york, you don't go there Right, right when you when you grow up in new york the first year they take you to the museum of natural history
Starting point is 00:43:44 Right till you can't take it no more. Yeah, look at that fucking whale and then They take you to fucking Radio city Right, yeah, and you go to the fucking empire state building. Yeah, you know what I don't even want to do it again Like that was it. I haven't been in a museum of natural history since I'm you know Seven like the museum of natural history. It's fun. I let them we went to that one. We went to the met Yeah, I took the girls to the met. I took them there, but that other shit will never occur Yeah, like I love I used to tell people I feel bad go eat
Starting point is 00:44:21 I would say go eat. I see you learn more about a city from from restaurants Then you will from all this tourist shit that you do you go to see museum You're going to see artifacts and who cares? I'm going to tell you you're going to go to a cool restaurant You're going to look around watch people see what they do hang out drink a cup of coffee Sit on a bench just watch shit happen. You're going to get more of an idea What the city is then going on some guided tour you and I just start like a fucking Yeah, people like this was gentlemen and got shot in the head. Yeah, if you'd say in the world I'll shoot you in the fucking I think like like that's what you know
Starting point is 00:44:54 This is where fucking viovon made that drug deal. Yeah, I have drive in the cab drive the chicken the back This is the real new york. Yo, it's going to go with That was strawberry shit. This is the real new york. I used to you know, that's what I want to take This is what the fucking my friend louis. Yeah shot everyone in the eighth grade And fucking he puked and we left him here fucking for dead Like it's it's that but that's what I want to hear if I go to a city. That's what I want to hear You know and I would tell you know what I would do too because the apartments in new york city is so expensive I try to make everybody on the bus feel kind of bad
Starting point is 00:45:28 I just pointed to buildings and I go 10 million 20 million 30 million 35 40 million and everybody would just get beaten down You know by the end of the day, they realized that they were fucked They were like god every system's rigged. We're all shot, you know And then every now and then one of these fat broads Would try to like even the scale she go but they don't even have central air in those buildings They have wall unit air conditions and I go but they do have central air in their hamptons estates They take helicopters and land in them because they don't want to be in traffic many of them 20 30 000 square feet and she would go Ha and it was basically me going like I know you're trying to get one up on me
Starting point is 00:46:06 But not today pig not today and I would just make them feel I want their spirits broken by the time they left the bus I wanted them to realize that they had failed and there was nothing that they could do They fucked up They should have did you know that this is you can't understand this because new york is a city that requires Both less and more explanation than any other place on the planet But less explanation meaning you get kind of what it is immediately But more explanation because i'm going to point to a building. I'm going to tell you the average price is 26 million dollars And i'm going to say who the fuck lives there and i'm going to say louise crane lives there
Starting point is 00:46:43 Her family owns the paper that we print our money on you didn't even know that was a thing She owns fucking money You don't even know what and people's minds would melt You know and that's the type of shit I do and I go and next to her is a russian fertilizer magnet And next to him is a chinese amusement park tycoon and then the rest is jews But here's the way And I would just do that and then some people would love it Some people get off the bus and go man, I took two of these buses and these motherfuckers are talking about
Starting point is 00:47:15 Like you know nothing they're talking about nothing that's ever effect You know they're talking about this where george washington was and here's where the red codes and then they go you get on here You're talking about real shit that's actually happening and you're like this is interesting You know, I want to know what's going on. So Some people liked it, but yeah, we should do it. We'll rent the bus to the dylan ds ds dylan Tor I still remember like being in the eighth grade Being in jersey and they took us to philly
Starting point is 00:47:47 To see like the nutcracker suite. Yeah the nutcracker and betsy ross's house. Yeah, like you had to do all that shit Yeah I'll never forget that we went somewhere and the guy said so I think it was betsy ross's house He's like, do you know what happened here? And one of my buddies like who gives this? And he just Because those two people yeah, like they're so into it. There's so into it It's so sad and you can just throw them off. There's nothing worse because when I was doing that job I was doing it as like a means to an end, you know, and then there were people there where that was their full-time gig
Starting point is 00:48:32 Oh my god, that's fucking rough, man I want to take you guys to boston because I this college I went to is right down by the common And they have these walking tours, but they make the tour guides dress up like they're george washington Yeah, see that I wouldn't do that. That's when it gets too much like I listen. I barely wore my uniform Boston's got those stupid duct tours. Yeah, you're excited that the they're like the but the thing goes in the river too I'm like That impresses you we blow up things put a satellite a guy in his phone sends drone strike like But yeah, it was but it's sad because every job you have is a comic every shitty job
Starting point is 00:49:08 You're doing it on your way to hopefully something else, but the guy next to you. That's his that's it I used to take a bus with this guy great guy big guy Lived in statten island and he worked at the telemarketing with me. It was a good telemarket But that was that was it and you go. Yeah, you do a comedy. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool Whatever, but this was his thing, you know, he had a girl and they would just fuck it He would do and it's just like guy like that. You're like, you know, it's a rough road, man. It's a rough road no insurance No savings of money
Starting point is 00:49:41 Just trying to scratch up deals to make a living and it's tough and then also No There like no future that you're looking towards like hey If I go through all this I'll get here because like you said it's every day started zero It takes a very long time to build to where you're starting at five That takes a couple of years to just build up to where you started like, okay. I got a car I got an apartment. So it's tough a lot of those people I met it's like you wonder where they are now, you know When did you start getting hot in new york?
Starting point is 00:50:15 um physically attractive Not it hasn't happened yet, but we we think 2040 is one we're gonna see No, uh, when did things start to work out? in in 2016 I did the montreal comedy festival I had a good set really good set that was one of the nights where it just went well
Starting point is 00:50:36 It just everything that could have went it just went the way it should have went and it was a big um It was a big moment in a sense that like nobody You know, no, I may manager eight like my I had a manager then but like I didn't have an agent I wasn't on the road. I was doing little things. I was taking mega buses to go do bar shows and and restaurants and things like that 2016 I got an agent at w me and they were like, okay, and I'm like, hey, I want to do comedy clubs I want to work on the road. I want to make money to do comedy. That's my main goal. Yeah, I'd love a tv show I'd love everything else and I'll work hard for that
Starting point is 00:51:12 But if you could get me on the road and make make money I'll make these people laugh And I think my first gig was the improv in san antonio, which was like a 400 seat room And I think 13 people came in on a friday to see me Uh, or thursday at thursday show. I think 13 people came in it was like hidden in a mall first fourth floor and it was like The guy said to me and it's a big room. He goes we got nine people
Starting point is 00:51:40 He goes we don't really do the show until we get 11. So at that point. I'm like, you know, I mean I'm like just call this thing. I'll just go eat a fucking burrito the size of a car And go to sleep, you know And then the guy comes back in the green room the manager and he goes listen He goes I got good news and I'm like, I bet it's not he goes another couple walked in So I had to do, you know, I did this show but I did it went good. That was my first weekend and I just kept You know, my you know, and then I did a commie central thing and in a netflix staying at 50 minute Yeah, a half hour commie central 50 minutes on netflix
Starting point is 00:52:13 But it was it started with with with jathon. I know everybody says it that festival doesn't matter anymore And I guess it does it. I mean it's not in terms of like I know a lot of people that never did it That are doing great better than me than there's but for me personally that had an effect Tim remember one thing. Yeah The tonight show doesn't work anymore, right a showtime special isn't working anymore Right an hbl special doesn't work anymore. There's a thousand things that are never gonna work unless But if you figure out how to make them work, then they work then they work great point great point nobody is ever
Starting point is 00:52:47 prepared for We all we all make mistakes with our goals. We go. I can't wait till I'm headlining. I can't wait till I get a netflix special what you prepare for is what you're gonna do with that netflix special I know 80 motherfuckers. I got netflix special right and they're still on ships, right? Yeah cruise ships They could be on a fucking a cuban missile ship that takes From fucking cuban in new york, you know what i'm saying is that Nobody really
Starting point is 00:53:21 Knows you have to be fully involved fully engaged And take every opportunity like it's your last one. Yeah You know when I say to you hey tim, you know, yeah, come down to the improv. I'm doing something friday Give you 200 bucks Yeah, you walk in there nonchalantly and you walk off stage and some lady comes up to you and says We've been trying to cast this show on see that's for the last six years and here you are right and you know like jesus If joey only knows how close I was to cancelling. Yeah, it's true like how close I came to order in that grand Yeah, yeah staying home and getting my dick sucked, but I went out and yeah something happened. Yeah, it's true
Starting point is 00:53:59 People really don't understand people don't understand that it's like you get these opportunities I remember the first time I did comedy and I the first time right before I did it ago Should I just put this off like maybe i'm not ready Maybe I'll do it next week and then I just said fucking i'm gonna do it And then it's like that was one of those moments where i'm like if I put it off then maybe I never would have done it And let me tell you what happened tim dillon for people at home jf l is just the last right It's the Montreal county festival. It's the most prestigious festival You could be invited to in the country and what what
Starting point is 00:54:28 Tim dillon was saying and what's going on is that 20 years ago you went up there And 10 people walked away with a half a million in cash Yeah, another 10 walked away with 200,000 in cash. Yeah another 10 walked away with 50 thousand dollars In a developmental deal which meant that they were going to develop some type of reality shows show around you The networks got hip They gave millions of dollars away to the wrong fucking people right and that business went down the tubes Right these agencies and these management companies started playing games Making up stories about lee sciat. He's going to destroy and then
Starting point is 00:55:07 NBC gives lee sciat a half million dollars and the kids got seven minutes Now the manager has to pull lee sciat aside and go do me a favor stay out of the three clubs Right, what are you talking about? But I just got a half a million. Listen Stay out of the three county clubs. Yeah, you don't want to be bombing all around town Staying staying oxnard as long as you can right as a matter of fact, you're not allowed in oxnard Go to baker's field We don't want to lose this deal. Yeah, I mean everything you think i'm kidding you Can you imagine tricking somebody so that your manager comes to you and says like in a way like
Starting point is 00:55:43 We don't want the networks the big three to see you what they're telling you is you suck And we got you a deal because we lied so go up there and hide before you fucking lose it Yeah, and you have to like you have to fucking so here you have this money in the bank now And you got to hide because you tricked everybody You did your best 30 fucking minutes And now they're bringing people to see you and they're bringing out writers and you're eating dog shit So now that goes the deal so now what happens you got a deal it went sour You were with a good manager or a good agent
Starting point is 00:56:19 So now when people looking you they're gonna go, what are we gonna do with them? Right? You already got a deal. They're already with this agency. So eventually they just they just now you're 28. Yeah Yeah And then they just stopped giving everybody the money then they said just to dried up They just dried up. That's now that's what people mean. There's no money. There's no money in it. Yeah There's no money. I had a good I you know, it was one of those things where it's it's your it's the first thing you do with teeth That was the first thing I did right teeth. Absolutely, right? So the first I was fucking walking around JFL I was looking at people. I'm looking at people people like your name. I think was up there that you're like
Starting point is 00:56:58 I'm looking at guys and I'm like these fucking people are working These guys get paid to do this for a living. There's no day jobs. There's no bullshit They got fan base people come to see them, you know, and then it's like and you you're looking And you're like, I'm gonna be in a root like these guys and me are at the same thing even though we're not in the same Place we're at the same festival, you know And you're like, I I hope this doesn't go bad and it that you know for some people went bad When it's sad to see because a lot of people got picked I got picked, you know Seven years in the comedy and I've been doing it every night
Starting point is 00:57:32 There were some people that got picked two years in because they were right because they were cute and they had a thing and they wore a hat Yeah I saw a few of them, but it was rough and they make you follow like the old bond. Yeah, and it makes you follow somebody who's fine. Yeah, you're like Yeah, so that's it. I mean, I saw so I saw people go out there and dance, you know, and then they the You know, these are like, you know, macho people macho the people that go to that festival. They're somewhat savvy Comedically they've seen comedy. They kind of they're they can be good audiences. They could be a little rough But you they're they're not gonna do like bullshit And so a lot of people went out there and they just were trying to stretch their thing
Starting point is 00:58:15 It didn't work and then you just see people that had some real rough and then it's rough I remember one guy walked up stage. I said, hey, good job, man And he goes, no, it wasn't you fucking know it wasn't I was like, uh I felt bad because he was right and I shouldn't have said that but I didn't I didn't know what to say It's okay. Good set man. He's like, no, it wasn't he's like, you know, it wasn't I was like, uh, uh It felt bad, you know is what it is, you know, but again, this was a good looking just good looking guy who just clicked checked all the boxes And went up there and just had a rough time
Starting point is 00:58:46 But I went up there and I had a joke and I remember when I broke them It was on my second joke I had a joke about pop of the show undercover boss And I was I was saying these fucking demon CEOs go undercover to like fuck with their employee Like it's not enough you working a shitty job. You got your boss Make it, you know, fuck what you want television and like and then I was like and then I was like And then I think I stopped in the middle of my joke and I said, I mean the CEOs I said not network industry CEOs. I say you people are good people, you know I said everybody not in this room not you guys but the other people I did and I just started to be me
Starting point is 00:59:22 Like I broke out of the joke a little bit and I just started to fuck around with them And that's what they were and and and that was so then as soon as that worked Then the rest of the set was confidence like Okay, I'm just gonna do what I do In a bar in the Lower East side of Manhattan when I don't care And it just was it was it just went really really well really really good You've done great for yourself. I mean you've uh, and you've made the right moves
Starting point is 00:59:51 calculated moves Yeah, I love when people come out here to dry. Yeah Yeah What do you want from me? Right. Yeah, I'm out here to dry. What does dry mean joe? You came out here on nothing Yeah, well, I met yeah, well, you know what it is. Yeah Let's start. I when I when I I came out here on all that I met my my producer My collaborator this guy Ben Avery who makes We were sitting in his garage one day and we were like, what can we do that's funny
Starting point is 01:00:21 Because you come out here. You don't get spots immediately. It just doesn't happen You know, you get a spot you drive to Irvine. You try to bake. It's feel I did all that, you know You go to in and out on the way back on the way there. You go to Taco Bell on the way back You do what you have to do to uh, you know the the covina you go here and there, but you don't there's not a lot of spots So we just started making these videos and these fun youtube videos that we put on instagram and twitter where I would just say Wild shit, you know, and it would just you know, like the week rosanne got canceled. I said, I'll be rosanne You know, I'll be fat and racist any dinner. I'm like, what's that show even about? She's fat and she has dinner It's the whole fucking show I'll do that, you know
Starting point is 01:01:00 And then we just started making these videos And then we would go and we would take this desk and we'd put a desk in front of like jolly big And he would film me and it's just like we were having a ton of fun doing it in front of the wall Yeah, we'd put what yeah in front of the pink wall all these instagram people and it was just a way to kind of Get funny out there without waiting for somebody to call me and go. Can you come to the improv at eight o'clock? You know, which which happens now, you know But it's I was out here at the beginning and then I started just coming out here so much that when I went back to new york It felt like I'm on a vacation because you know, I wasn't doing the videos in new york. I wasn't doing anything in new york
Starting point is 01:01:41 I was You know doing stand-up doing my podcast, but I'm like oh when I come to la we can make these videos we could do this crazy shit that's really funny and And it was you know, that was really really helpful And so that when I did when I did roguin when I did joe's show I had some work where people could look at it And because it'd be like, you know, we had a great conversation He's like people were like who is this guy and you could go to my stuff and they were go
Starting point is 01:02:06 Oh, this this is this guy's a lunatic and he's funny and I like that he's Out here. So that That was great that I did I did and I you know, obviously joe's been amazing and she shared those things and everything But that's been just trying to keep up with like all right. So we got to be funny on instagram now We just got to see we got to be funny here. That's okay. I'll think of what you guys have That I didn't have right right. Okay. When I came out here in 98 you waited for commercial auditions
Starting point is 01:02:35 And you waited for theatrical auditions, right? That's what you did all day And if not, you met three guys that uh, it's now a hindu place It used to be a chinese place right across from rock and roll routes Yeah, I know next to the laundry mat in the russian market. There used to be a chinese place We used to take over the room nine of us. Yeah, and we'd throw our ideas off each other. That was then Now you don't have to have a boring day. Right. You could make a video every day. You can go do something crazy Go do something crazy. Have fun. Yeah, you can schedule a podcast at one You can schedule a podcast at three, you know, if you have that time
Starting point is 01:03:12 There's so many and you and they're all going towards the same goal and you could do it Listen, you could do a podcast a big youtube guy. I was talking to a comic in new york the other day I said you got to do this guy's podcast when you come to town He's a youtube guy and the guy guy guy said to me because i'm not doing a youtubers podcast and i'm like you're stupid You're a stupid man. I don't understand Why because that's the other thing I love about la I did you know, logan paul's podcast me and logan paul is nothing in common But he's a nice guy. He's a fun guy. We had a great time. I met him at the ovan show I got fans from doing it. He's a good dude. I like the guy
Starting point is 01:03:48 Why why ever put yourself in like a box and I love new york to death But I think sometimes guys in new york They're obsessed with the purity of it and i'm just going to do stand up and i'm going to stand you on this stage until I'm dead And it's like no you gotta you gotta go out there realize it like Yeah, other there's other people out there. There's other mediums out there. You might not like what they do Who gives a shit who gives a fuck to give you the opportunity they give you an opportunity You have audiences and what happened was new york used to think they were the shit la
Starting point is 01:04:20 Has lapped new york and only in comedy by the way, let's not get excited. I'm not talking city to city Let's not get excited You know, but in comedy la because they were first with the podcasting They went they went big with that. They understood that and and you know more about that to me Maybe it was because it was less station. I don't know but new york guys now look at la and like these I'm going to be honest. I might get in trouble right now for saying it The greatest comics in the country right now are in la right now not not always
Starting point is 01:04:53 Right now The guys that are the best and the guys that are coming up and are kind of Paving the way are in los angeles right at this moment That's crazy. But the best restaurants are in fucking new york. Don't fuck with me on that These restaurants should be burned to the ground firebombed Not all of them joey, but some of them joey, you know, they should be 86 percent. Don't get me This is a neighborhood
Starting point is 01:05:19 Yeah, fucking death. Yeah, people have no idea. Yeah, right. We had an interesting conversation a couple weeks ago Did you act eventually go to wait watches? I didn't go to wait watches. I should we had a great conversation I should try I I want to try it people have had success with it Because I got all these photos. I did zany's I got all these fucking photos of myself I don't want to look at all these people You look good. You look good. That's very sweet. That's also untrue. But I appreciate I appreciate it I appreciate that. Well, you're looking from here on maybe So, but you know what it is when you're a big guy, it's all about the way the camera hits you
Starting point is 01:05:53 Because when I when I put myself on my jacket, I look okay. Listen, I stopped looking at myself in 1990 All right, I stopped looking at myself in 1990. Yeah, I get yeah in the mirror now at night I see grandpa from the months And I laugh for five minutes. I'm like all this shit that doing nobody's redoing grandpa Right. I would kill his grandpa. You would be amazing if he was r-rated because grandpa was a nut Downstairs makes him chemical. Yeah, those some people. That was a good show People forget how good of a show that was when he when when Evonne DeCarlo, yeah used to tell him grandpa
Starting point is 01:06:32 Put your fingers off because he used to light his fingers on fire. Yeah Threaten the bird Grandpa turn your fingers off. There was a thousand episodes that show. Yeah, why I laughed my ass over that's at the point It's just so weird how you And I gotta tell you they all know it. Yeah for the first time in the history of entertainment The entertainer has got Everybody by the ball. That's true
Starting point is 01:07:01 There is no excuse to beat now back no more agents are losing money about what color you are What nationality you are? I don't want to hear none of your excuses. I'm too fat. I'm too skinny. I'm too ugly If you really want it in today's world. Yeah, all you need is that fucking phone Twitter instagram YouTube yeah, go to work. Build the empire do whatever you want to work, bitch Put your money where you're mounted. Yeah, stop blaming it on. Yeah, my agent. That doesn't call me. Nobody calls me Well, you know, there's a lot of there's a lot of younger guys. I think in la That there's just this idea
Starting point is 01:07:42 That they're you know owed something like someone owes you some and it's like growing up in new york I would go to Broadway shows you would walk by a black gospel church And you would hear somebody on that stage who was more talented than anybody That's getting paid money to walk in his stadiums right now. I mean just raw talent raw natural talent, you know I would go to Broadway show I'd see somebody and there was a play called the ferryman that jim gaffkin told me to see three hour play I mean three hours, you know It was about irish family about a bunch of drunken degenerates. I related and it was just so good So good and nobody and listen to some of the actors had careers
Starting point is 01:08:20 But a lot of them no one gives a fuck So coming from new york, you you realize that talent isn't always rewarded with anything But la because it's hollywood and gla and glaring people think that like they're like, hey, i'm kind of half decent at this Where's my maserati and the house and it's like, what are you nuts? Like it that's not what it is The new that's why i'm happy that I came up in new york and I kind of grew up there and I saw that because it's like You realize talent isn't enough You gotta fucking hustle because there's so many talented people in new york. They're just they just atrophy. They fail
Starting point is 01:08:57 You know, but I should go to I should go to weight washers I should we were talking about it. I was It was just interesting because I I've for the last 20 years since I moved to LA I've struggled with weight You know, because your focus is so much into comedy. Yeah, your focus is late night eating That's also there's not a lot of stuff that makes you happy in life. There's not that's people don't really nobody just talks about that There's just not a lot that's makes you happy There's not uh
Starting point is 01:09:27 So, you know, it took me I knew I didn't want to die from being a fat fuck. Yeah, that's why I I don't I listen I made decisions early on. I didn't want to get shot. I didn't want to die in the prison okay I didn't want my girlfriend finding me on the floor from an overdose of cocaine and we're all gonna die from a heart attack or Smoking from this reefer I've been smoking or the edibles or the pills we did for years

Do you really want to go out in the fucking hospital? You know, because you fucking didn't want to stop eating in and out burgers really, right? That's what you're fucking telling me that you want to go out in the fucking hospital Do you really want to have to pull up your shirt once a fucking day? And shoot yourself in the fucking stomach crazy when you're on the road and whatever, you know

Yeah best rest in peace, you know, our diets are not the best And then we add our sleep habits. Yeah That's bad too to the diet and all that so
Starting point is 01:11:12 You know like 2009 No, I think 2007 I walked into Weight Watchers. I had the balls It was embarrassing, but I finally realized that This was the best part of my week. Right was going to Weight Watchers and Fucking going off Like the ladies started accepting like go off in there because going to Weight Watcher meetings Seemed boring on paper, but they're very funny because you're gonna start getting frustrated Because you're gonna see people that are you right people that go
Starting point is 01:11:48 I don't know what happened last week Every one of my meals I eat bananas and I still gained eight pounds. Well You did something wrong. Yeah, if you ate bananas every meal And I walked my action points and I still gained eight pounds Yeah, you want to reach over and smack up, right? There's people who go and they'll actually lose six ounces Yeah, like they'll say I lost six ounces the last two weeks. Oh my god You know, there's people who go and they gain weight and they'll go I could do the food, but I need my glass of wine every night. You're like
Starting point is 01:12:25 Are you this fucking stupid? What so the system is points the system is points and you based on your weight and everything Your weight your age you get you get points you get points. So you get 41 points a day Okay, okay, you get 41 points a day, then they give you 50 action points In case you go over the 41 Now you look at me going Joey. What's 41 points? Okay 41 points means that if I get six scrambled eggs Scramble them up pull sauce on them
Starting point is 01:13:01 And put black beans on and eat them That's zero Wow That's zero. Wow If I take four chicken breasts and put it on my grill and put salt and pepper on them and Whatever and get a couple white rice with red beans or protein The only thing I'm paying for is the rice the chicken and the beans are free. Okay Seafood free
Starting point is 01:13:27 Piece of salmon would match. What about I had a lobster benedict this morning with on the english muffler with the hollandaise And the side is cereal with strawberries almond milk and a little pastry. You're done Here's my question for you Joey. You're done. Because like we have we have a similar talk Can can Does any of this really work unless like you're ready to lose weight? No, you're like it works If it works, we don't know what to you have to do you have to eat chicken and nutty bread and right We all know what you have to do, but it's just making the decision
Starting point is 01:13:58 Does it work if you Nothing works if you don't want listen, right? Nothing that you do half ass is going to gain any results in life no matter what you do Whether you play the flute whether you suck ass holes Right, you got to do it a hundred percent. You got to either go on with everything you got it. Don't do it at all You know when I went into weight watches, I wouldn't they reluctantly But I kept an open mind and then I learned it's not even a diet. It's just a lifestyle right, okay, so my breakfast right now is
Starting point is 01:14:28 One piece of wheat toast two eggs and two pieces of bacon every morning And I was sustained off that and I smoke weed Yeah, I smoke tons of weed when I get up to make me eat those eggs right, but you know, I know different cheats Right, so give me a cheat bananas. Oh, so two bananas and an apple. That's a cheat You know, that's a little cheat move to hold you over You can't put fruit into a fucking milkshake. That'll kill you Right if you make a protein shake those protein shakes. I make it two points If I eat those eggs and I make a protein shake at 11, I'm good till two o'clock. Right. I'm just buying time
Starting point is 01:15:07 You know I'm saying that's all you're doing and then you learn how to eliminate To make more points. Yeah, like when I first started drinking protein shakes I would use eight ounces of milk Which is four points or whatever the fuck it is Uh quarter scoop of non-sugar ice cream and the protein powder So the protein shake was essentially nine points, right Guess what that protein shake is today two points interesting
Starting point is 01:15:36 I I turned the milk into water and still putting the ice cream in it Right, and then I eliminated the fucking ice cream. So you can you can if you stay on the points 41 points Everyone gets 41. No, no, everybody gets different according to your weight and then they give you 55 extra So right now it's fucking sunday. I start again tomorrow and I have Right now I have 26 action points left now. What's an action point? That means I could do whatever the fuck I want Real means of reality.

I'm like, I'm not doing this no He said to me he goes he goes just cut out carbs and sugar. I go, oh But he's right. Here's the thing. He's always right It's just to say to a guy me cut out carbs sugar. It's a tough thing to do. This is why I like Wait watch, right Right, this is why I could go on the road And eat honestly, right? I love the hotel breakfast when I get up because a cup of oatmeal's five points
Starting point is 01:27:52 Right and you shit nice coffee and you go back to bed like I said If you if you if you ask the guy for a four egg scrambled eggs With two pieces of wheat toast your breakfast is two points, right? So you could eat heavy for dinner and you could that's why I like weight watches, right? Because it's not about carbs It also forces you if you want to work out and it has a meter and you could put your points in there So like this week at the guy of 48
