The same
And stay in again, that's what you're gonna do listen to the church stay in mind your fucking business
I got my main man the original Catholic mr. Steve Simone
The only cat did you go to church this Sunday? Yeah, I streamed it. Then you're good for you. God bless you
You know, you don't need to go down there. I got I started getting pissed off because people like what are these red necks doing there?
Oh, I'm driving my car to sit outside a church. What's that gonna do for you?
Yeah, you get more magical powers sit outside the strip club. Maybe you'll find a power on the floor or something like that
What the fuck is wrong with people?
First of all church is something that you go to every day. It's in your heart. Mm-hmm, you know
Nothing bothered me more when I was a kid in 73. They were telling you that there was two mortal sins
Not going to church and murder and I'm like, how does that even on the same?
So how can I not go to church?
But if I murdered somebody I'm like fuck you
Yeah, I started going to church and I started seeing people I started seeing people from church and how they act in real life and
They think because they go to church that makes them a good Catholic Christian
An orthodox or a synagogue Jew, whatever the fuck they are like anybody who goes to church. I get it
I get that it makes you feel better. It's about trying to get that sense of peace
It's a part trying to get that sense of peace
Well 50% of people go to church so they go for a social activity to be seen and I can tell I smell that shit right the fuck
Yeah, I think one of the things that
Made an impression on me and I don't know if this
Take it for whatever it is and I'll paraphrase it but somebody once told me that a church isn't it's not like an art museum for
Perfect people it's not you're not a perfect piece of art
That's going there to be shown off, but it's more like a hospital for sick people
So when you see people showing up at church and then you see them acting like an animal seven and six and a half days a week
It's not necessarily that they're phony
But at least they're making that step to try to change their life and I'm of that point of view where I don't judge anybody
You know, I don't I don't know what's in anybody's heart and it's not a going to church one day a week
I'd rather be a gentleman seven days a week. That's it. Well, that's one thing every day
Yeah, I took that from you where you make somebody's everybody today. I've seen the Mexican lawnmower down there
Yeah, I sat there watching them watching them and he had a bandana around his face
I said
This is what you do instead of going to church. I went in the house
I got the coldest one in the refrigerator and I put a fucking a mask
That's exactly I walk down the corner. I gave him the fucking water and the whatever and he put the mask on
Yeah, take a picture. I didn't put it on fuck
Exactly go for people to see me being but how good did you feel after that?
I felt like a million bucks exactly the chick next door to me needed a couple masks
He's got a little girl. Yeah, a girl plays with my little girl. Yeah, you know, this lady one day knocked on my door
She's like, are you hungry?
Like I never met the lady before you hungry. Yeah, my wife said hi and they're like, oh, they know each other
Okay, she turned me on to beef stroganoff. Oh, yeah from Grandville
No, Grandville is on Ventura. Never want that. I know I don't even know what it is
He goes do you want me struggling off? I think they gave me to my mistake
I didn't have to pay for me and my wife is like sure
Do you know that now we go to Grandville once a month to get the beef stroganoff? It's delicious. Wow
I don't eat it there. I take it to go because they sell curry dishes
So I don't go there I can't lie to you, but I get it I pick it up my wife and me pick it up
Yeah, but that's how nice the lady is, you know, so these are acts
Like right now. I'm really looking for humanity to come out. I do you see what's going on. I mean
so
We're fucking we're fucking on the thing till May 15th and Dana White has that one I have a fight on the 16
Wow, you know
It's like here's a guy that never ends. I know he's got people on top of them
They're giving them back hands if you know the whole story
Yeah, there's people that he has to answer to don't think that but they're making them that crazy because they want that money
You know, everybody wants that's why this fight had to happen on the 18th
All right, there was a payment that was due something was going on and so now he wants to have it on the 16th
You know, I see all these people doing shitty things to people now
I saw a ticket master do something today. Yeah, they're not giving refunds anymore refunds. Yeah
So what you're just gonna hold on to your money. Yeah, what you need to do from now and when would I?
Yeah, I don't know what date you go back to you should I'll tell my client to find it when I told everybody to get that money back
Please did I not yeah, right? What is this target right when I start I go do me a favor guys
Go get your money back right now. Don't hesitate. Don't wait
Don't play games. Go get your money. This is not gonna be good. I told you guys
Yeah, I don't want them to have your money, right
Okay, I don't want them to have your money if there's no date in the air and right now
There's no dates in the air. Okay, so nobody should have
Your fucking money. Yeah, Miami told me they're sending it back. It's gonna take 10 to 14 days
I don't know what they're gonna do in Cleveland and
And
Well, the other place I'm going to the other Indianapolis, you know, I got a date in Vegas. Who knows what's gonna happen now
I'm sure I'm gonna get an addendum. Yeah with saying listen. We can't put 1600 people in here
All right, you're gonna make the 480. Do you mind taking a pay cut? No, you know, you guys were always good to me
You know, I get it. Yeah, I understand what's going on, you know, so
But let's who gives a fuck about that you
Have made me so proud of the last three weeks. Oh every day I wake up to see what curinary
That's how I've been keeping myself happy. I'm just making delicious. You look good
You haven't gained any weight because I've been also working out. I've been doing what you said. I'm getting out in the sun
I'm doing my push-ups. I'm trying to do it the intermittent fasting
I'm trying to go at least 15 hours a day without eating, but when I do eat I kill it
I'm making all my favorite food from scratch and I'm glad
Over the last 20 years. I couldn't find the food that I love so I had to learn how to make it myself
So now I'm in lockdown. I'm loving it
I'm your pork sandwich is one of the best in the business and I grew up in Edgewater, North Bergen
Edgewater had a fucking pork sandwich H&B restaurant. Mm-hmm that you would kill for pork pickles and hot sauce
With a piece of provolone cheese, you have no fucking idea. Yeah pork and you come in a strong second
Dude is dead, you know
Dead so you're the new fucking reigning champion right there. I mean you've always enjoyed cooking
This is what I told people from the beginning of this thing when it started that you can look at this two ways
Yes, this is very bad. Yes, we're gonna suffer financially and yes
We're not gonna have a lot of things that we want to do
So start something new absolutely and you have impressed the shit out of me from the pizzas
I know the first pizza you made I called you. You were very honest. I don't know. Yeah, it was tricky
But you just kept making them that's it wrap them sample them if they weren't good
You're brought into one of the kids who's dying
This will push you over the top
The pizza I made yesterday was the best pizza I've ever had
It looked fucking good like it looked like he really got it what type of oven do you have to eat home oven?
See, that's what I like about the videos
I put out because when I was trying to learn this stuff everybody wants to show you how to do this under perfect situation
With the thousand two thousand dollar pizza oven with all the best tools
I don't have all any of that, but I learned how to make it in a normal person kitchen
I have my cheat codes and I encourage everybody to do it because it gives you a sense of accomplishment too
Like you feel good. You're like I made this it gives you something to do with your time was the gnocchi homemade
Scratch from scratch. Is this something your mother taught you? No, gnocchi has always been like the family favorite
But I went online to look how to do it. I
Because my mom was like I like was her grandmother that would make them or like my mom didn't make gnocchi from scratch
So I looked at a couple videos and that needs more reps. Was it good? Absolutely. Was it better than any gnocchi?
I've had in LA. Yeah, the restaurants I go to. Yeah, I can't afford the best restaurants, but I want this is great
But it wasn't perfect. It wasn't the best gnocchi I had the pizzas. I'll put up against anybody
I use three different kinds of flour. I use four different kinds of cheese two different kinds of tomatoes and
In the fall I went to the best pizza area in the country
Arguably is this place called the far of pizza in Brooklyn midwood Brooklyn
I think truck fantastic the nicest people in the world and the best pizza
I've ever had outside in Naples
Okay, the best and I saw their techniques and they put the fresh basil on the pie after it comes out of the oven
And then they give it a little shot of partana extra virgin olive oil to bring all the flavors together
I did that little pecorino romano on top when it came out of the oven and everything just comes together. It's it's
amazing
So good, and you make the sauce and scratch. Yep
I use the Napoli tomatoes, which are a San Marzano style grown here in California
Which I saw in a YouTube video this guy from Italy has a pizza shop
And he says that's what he uses and then I also use mootie tomatoes that they use at the far
So I brought I'm always experimenting. It's always a work in progress. It's like your stand-up set
You're like this works, but how can I make it better? That's what I've been doing with the pizza
How you adjust into life without stand-up better than I thought to be honest with you. I am I don't miss the travel
I do not miss being on a plane. I do not miss living out of a suitcase. I miss the store. I
Miss seeing my friends. That's why I was so happy to just come down here and hang out with you guys tonight. I miss people
and
I do miss that
Connection when you're on stage where you just want it when it's working and you know
You're sharing that moment with the audience and there's like joy in the air. I miss that. It's April 14
I have not been on stage
March 2nd Wow
The rest
Syndrome gives me anxiety to think about a medic
But I know I'm gonna have plenty to say the first 20 minutes spot eggs and you know what I think it's gonna be rage
Magnitude and I'm just gonna be funny just from the yes
And that audience is gonna be red that audience is gonna be like this. They're not gonna have a chip on their shoulder
No, no, they're gonna be the best audience there. I'm looking forward to meet that. I'm looking forward. I was tunnel
I don't know on Sunday. I'm so looking forward to starting from scratch
Mm-hmm. I even been going back to the videos I watched in the beginning to get my mind
Where it was that when I was watching those early guys, I watched something from dice last night. That was pretty good
I got nice and high
Me and Lee drank the magic potion. I went by his house
I went by urban trees at a quarter to ten. They were getting ready to lock up. They're like man
I said just give me get three bottles of
The fucking juice I had Lee wait for me on Laurel Canyon. I
Brought him a bottle. We fucking drank it. Well, I went home and just watched but I watched just for the women
Dice clay has a thing. Oh, yeah, the HBO special for ladies only or something fucking hilarious
Fucking hilarious, you know, I'm so happy. I got that time to hang around with him
That was as broke as I was
And as coked up as I was and as desperate as I was me you Bobby Lee and Jim Norton in Vegas
Well, we walked into that room and there was all that food. Oh, we just looked at each other
Holy shit. Yeah, we were starved. We didn't even like nobody said take your time
They put the platter down. We started ripping the fucking things and then we went for breakfast a late breakfast
And he kept sending the eggs back
He would do stuff like that would make me so embarrassed, you know, the other reason why I want to have you on believe it or not
This gives you a lot of time to think. Yep, and you think of good things. Yes, and you also think
Think of bad things that you did or mistakes that you made. Yeah, all this
And it depending on how many edibles I eat. I react to that. Yeah, sometimes it takes me
Really sad. Sometimes I go I can't believe that I should call these people right now and apologize it. Yes morning
And it's a
I guess who came into my thoughts and I almost called you was just too late to call you
It's never too late to call me call me whatever James
I rest aside
I thought about what was fat James real name James Price, Jr. James Price, Jr. When did he get here?
like
2001 and where did he come from?
New Hampshire and he came right here and he got a job at the lot store at the college store
No, he came and he was just hanging out and he was the open mic or nobody would talk to but me and
Nice kid in the beginning very nice and the reason he got his job there is there was a Eddie Griffin was on stage
I was working the OR front door and
Eddie Griffin was getting into it with an audience member like a drunk redneck, dude
And then there came a point where the guy had enough and this dude stands up and he's like six foot six and he charges the stage
And I'm like, well, oh my god, but it was those years where you just I don't know
I just jumped on the guy and I kicked them and I'm trying to wrestle this guy to the ground
Now all the tables are coming and I'm like I'm in trouble
It's this guy's friends then comics are jumping in and there's a melee and then I feel this force of nature
And I go I can handle this guy, but whatever this is
I'm done and it was fat James and I just hear I got your back brother. I got your back brother
He had such a big heart. Yeah, never fuck none of the other door guys jumped in
I think it was maybe Brett Ernst or somebody like that that jumped in me and then when fat James
Used off his weight and got the guy out helped me get the guy out
I just walked him into the back and I said Dean you're gonna give this guy a job. He deserves it
And then he became my roommate
Like a couple months after that what
I'm saying this from
The highest this I love us. Yeah, I love hustle
I love when people put to me too. It just makes my dick hard
You give them a nickel. They come back with $10. Yep, and you go how the fuck did you do that? I
Don't think there was a
stronger hustler
That I met now I then me then fat James the truth, you know, he tried to get me. You know, I mean, who's getting your dishes
I mean, he did that movie about the spelling bee a
Kia and the bee with with Lawrence Fishburne
I don't know. He went on the set like cuz what happened between us where we were good friends. Mm-hmm
I really like James. He would give me money for coke. I didn't pay him back. Hilarious. He was always
Such a big part such a big heart. Yeah, he was a funny-looking dude, but in auditions
That bitch did not fuck around
When he walked into an audition bra, I would sit there and go. Oh
My god, what whatever he did. He was booking it. Yep
There was a thousand jobs I did with him when that mafia shit was big
Yeah, and he would put his crazy head. Yeah, I think we even booked the pencil commercial together. Wow
That's how we solidified
Well, we put the guy in the trunk and we opened the trunk and the guys looking back at us
And then we slammed the trunk and wow, it was like one day shooting and that's how I became friends with them
And then we I liked them at the store
Then the longest yard came along and I still loved them everything was going then he got fired from the store
Something happened. Yeah, I don't remember what happened something happened and then him and I was still tight
Yep, and then when I got a Kia and the bee when I got the longest shot is I was shooting the longest yard

So I went to the bathroom when I came out of the bathroom the dude was like Steve Simone

Cuz every once a while he get that be out to him
Elbow look that I really liked his heart, and I really liked what he was doing as a comic
He was doing something that nobody else was doing if he didn't get the job
He was gonna make sure you got the job. Yes, he was very loyal
And I learned that from you know that's like that when people do that without you saying boom. They're an ally. That's it
Very I didn't get this but go down there send the tape. Yep. So who well how are they gonna know who tell them tell them Steve Samoa?
Say yeah, but I haven't talked to Steven two years who cares right so take the chance. What do you give a fuck?
You know, right that's where the school of thought he came from. Yeah, so he was like me
So we stayed friends. Yeah after that come after that thing
We did a commercial together and then we did that thing together. We were tight
I'd see him at the store and give him a hug and the whole thing I
Think I did the longest yard he kept plugging he will live with him
Yeah, you know we were doing all of these other things. Oh, maybe we
It was after analyze that
Mm-hmm
Spider-man 2 yeah, and now is about to do the longest yard
The longest yard was in May

For all these little faggots of the crying I really want to go home. Yeah
Go, I've shot NFL one time. I shot an NFL promo commercial on Christmas Eve
Wow, you shot from six in the morning to two in the afternoon
They gave me bonus money and they gave me cash and they fed me and they gave me an NFL sweatshirt
Yep, people go a lot, you know, yeah
We're going in for a fucking pilot audition one day December 20th
Some of the best auditioning you'll do is in December. Yeah
And I remember that
He called me up one day and he goes Joey. I got the role for you. I talked to the guy already the chick
They weren't you. I love James me too. I love James
There's certain people. I don't give a fuck what you feel like about yeah
They did something to me at one time that was more valuable than you've ever done
Yep, and I know for a fact by him doing that that he's got my back
So whatever you got to say around them, you could say it. Yeah, I'm not communist Cuba, right?
Just don't say it around me because you're wrong. Yeah
I had his back like that. I think somebody started with him at the comedy. So there was somebody I had beef over
Over fat James. I said not on my watch. Good for you. I find that you mess with that James
There's gonna be a fucking problem. And this is I'm doing coke. I'm not a nice person
You know, I'm dying to smack somebody at the store
And one day he gets me a job
The following Christmas
I got a call from him and he goes, hey, I got your job. It's in fucking Jamaica
Wow, we're going to Jamaica. It was called hanging in Hito. I remember when he left for that one of the worst movies of all time
That's the only problem with these masks that made for you to be a silent mute
Like if you talk, you're gonna fucking die at thirst you might you feel like Jesus before he got stabbed
There's no fucking liquid in your mouth when you talk with these masks. It takes all the fucking fluid out. So
He gets me the audition
We drive together. I pick them up because he didn't have a car, right?
He did but maybe it was in the shop and it went down for a while and his dad had to send
It was a couple thousand dollars. I remember so I took him to the audition and called the city
There was a fat little Italian lady
Me and him went in together and they told us right out. You're gone. Wow. We love you. You leave for
Jamaica December 2nd
And you come back
Christmas Eve in the morning
And I go, oh, when do we get paid?
Because we didn't get paid 10 days later. You gotta give us something plus per diem. They said, don't worry. You're gonna be hooked up
That friday
I was supposed to leave that saturday and sure enough for that monday that friday said
We're gonna send you the script and then the saturday script. I've done analyze that
I've done a couple movies and I know for a fact that every day you get a fucking overnight package in the mail
Even if it's got no lines, even if it doesn't have anything to do with you. Yeah, they still send you shit
So I didn't get nothing. I got on the plane with two tickets that were bought with miles
Like the first leg was with miles and the second leg was
So every time I did something I didn't like it. Yeah, it was one of those planes that lands at
9 15 at night
But it doesn't take off till six the next
So now I'm at the airport all night rolling joints smoking a little weed
I had no money. I was smoking cigarettes at the time. I was in horrible shape
And I take this plane to Jamaica. I get there. They pick us up at the airport
They take it to the hotel. First of all, the hotel is a nudist
Hotel everything around that was ugly
The chickens had hiv. Yeah
Everything just bad sign after bad bad sign. I get to the hotel like, oh, you're one of the actors
Go sign in all the ass like go sign in they give me a hotel room and they go you sharing a room. I go
I'm sag
I don't share that room. I like to call the sag rap
And they're like, well for this job, you just don't have to sacrifice
Like, okay, I'll sacrifice. I had the bell boy already. Mm-hmm on the where's the ounce of weed program
So I said where's the I probably had 60 bucks on me. Maybe maybe if I'm lucky
I go where's the padium because it was going to be like 12 days padium
I'm looking at 100 a day. Yeah 1200 bucks
That helps that helps, especially I haven't think I don't think the movie was paying much
They're like scale a day or something. So
Second question I asked so already number one mistake was the script
Number two was sharing the room flying on miles and number three was we don't have to deal
I go, what are you talking about? I'm sagging. They go. No, no, we have to deal
But we couldn't bring the money down from new york. We're just going to send you a check at the end of the day
I took the key I went up to my room. I took my own cash
The bellman shows up 10 minutes later. He goes in his pocket. He just went to a tree
And took a butt off the tree. It was amazing
He goes, ah, you don't have the 60 just give me 40 then. So at least I got a little piece of weed
I fucking rolled it. I smoked it and the fucking guy went down the stairs and told ratted on me
But I smoked pot on the balcony
So I went up to the producers. I'm like, hey man
This ain't gonna work for uncle joey. I got Mike marino
and I got my man
Frankie the wop. What's his name? Fat James
And I go fat James. I got a problem. This is not the way he's supposed to get treated
If you want to get treated like this
But if not, we got to get the damn but we can't share no room without a man
You know
He fell in love with the black girl though
Oh, yeah, there was like some playmate on there. There's a playmate and there was the german hemsley. Yep
So the first night i'm already seeing
Chubby playing with the flak there on the fat girl just playing
Yeah, so right away when I went to him his mind wasn't into me
Right, he's thinking about her when I go to talk to you
If you're an improv guy or you're a guy that's not from the comedy store. I don't know you I understand
I understand but when we're comedy store guys
And I've gotten you jobs and you've gotten me jobs. You got to stand on the line with me and go. Hey, bro
Joey might be a junkie whatever the fuck he says, but he's right. Yeah, he needs up a dm every day
That's an every movie. Yeah, and they were like, well, this ain't gonna be like every movie. So I said, well, then
I gotta go
And they said are you quitting or I said, well, think about it. Yeah
You're not paying for damn
You got me another room with a guy. You didn't give me the script
The script ain't getting hit though next week
You've got us here for three days
And they're like, you don't need money. Everything's inclusive. You should have seen how bad the food was
Everything was bad like I couldn't eat anything anything. Everything was horrible everything
The chicken looked bad the eggs tasted weird
And I was like, listen, I'm on it. I'm off the arm this afternoon to range your plane
They called my agent my agent called me back mad at the time. I said, no, I'm not doing it. There's no predict
Yeah, he goes, well, I don't want to pay for a plane ticket for you. So let me get off the phone. We had called sag
And sag was like give us the producer's number. I said better. Yeah, he's 10 fees from me
I walked up to him. I gave him the phone. I said sag wants to talk to
And he goes, I can't mother fucking believe you bought fucking sag into this and all this shit
And I go, you're not paying us. You know, you gotta pay us
So what do you want to do? There's a two o'clock flight and I could be on it and here's fat james and mike marino with me
And also I go, I could be on it and the guy goes, well, you could leave that
And I go, all right fat james get your shit and fat james looked at me and turned this back
And then mike marino turned his back and I was like
I know what time it is here. This doesn't look like it's going to work out well for uncle joey
I got on my fucking uh
I got on my plane. I came home. I saw my buddy pick me up in miami. I spent the night with him and I came back
And then he showed up, you know for christmas. He came back and I think I saw him at the store like the 27
I just never could talk to him again. Hmm. I just got my feelings hurt that much if it was anybody else
For many other places. I wouldn't have got my feelings hurt
But you're in the battle zones with me every night. I got your back at that place. You got my back at that spot
I wasn't as mad as at marino as I was at fat james, right
Marino was just marino. He had nothing to do with. He's just a nice guy, right fat james met more than me
It was like your brother fat james like my little brother. I had mine him
I knew he was all in. I know I could call
Give me a director
Give me a director spielberg. Yeah, I could call spielberg and send them five james. They'd be in love with him
Yeah, that james had that thing. Yeah
I don't know how he did it bad james
We go on the set and it's fucking energy
Fat with his fucking little pompadour
pompadour. He had a pump
The pinky ring the pinky ring. I mean it was just awesome to see
and somebody
His size his weight his dimensions going to a room like he was fucking rich again. Oh
He's such confidence such confidence
Do you ever hear him sing? He could really sing. He could really sing. I did see him sing somewhere
I can't remember all the places now. It's vague to me. What year did he die? I don't know. I'm gonna guess oh
Eight so he's been done for 12 years like marillon. I want to guess. Oh, well, it's probably two three years after marillon
So maybe 11
I don't know. They all blend together. I was living it was 11. It was 2011
Not what I think back
But he just got sick
um
He got sick
They didn't know what it was
And then they diagnosed cancer
And then it turned out that it was a rare bone cancer that
He had for a while that nobody knew I called him at the end
I want to visit him. We spoke at the end. He had an hospital
Yeah, we spoke and we made our peace. I told him I loved him, but he apologized to me
And he went he was pissed too. He goes I fucking did that and the chickens suck my dick
And then I let the three grand she was supposed to take me to Hughes
Oh, yeah, I kept on saying it was going to go to the playboy mansion
And then she she stood him up for the playboy mansion. So he goes I learned a big lesson too
I said we did I go hopefully when you get out of there while I was from coffee and stuff
He never got out
I think we said flowers or something. We weren't really
You know what I love about it was tough
I feel for him now and I feel that
I hate when people don't talk about people and they're dead
Like some people are just forgotten and it bothers me like if you and I had a good mutual friend
That died every time I'd see you
We'd go can you imagine if that James was here? We he'd want to go to wings the whole year. Yeah
Well fucking McDonald's or something, you know, yeah, and that's what burns me up like even Maryland's like Maryland's forgotten
Maryland's never been forgotten in my mind. Most of the people who have died in my life
I've never really forgotten every day. I think of them
And on Mondays when I light my candles, I light a candle for them, you know, and I
Think about them and just give them the thought never since I watched the movie coco
Did you see coco? No, it's great. It's about people who die that if you don't
Give them light
Then they disappear. Hmm. So you have to put their picture up. You have to have like
What they call it because a family altar
They call like an altar for your family for you to give them life
So I don't have no pictures of fat James when I just said a little prayer from the other I pray for him all the time
But I thought about you and uh, it's a really weird thing about
growing up
Because I had family members pass away like grandparents and all that
But when friends start passing it's very different. It takes it took it out of me. Yeah
It's tough
I mean, you know
I don't really
especially now
But I acknowledge Brody's year anniversary, you know, I acknowledged it and
I miss him. I've never gotten over him. I haven't processed it yet. No the same way. I haven't processed Ralphie Mayer's
But in time, you know, the other day I was stretching
and I'm like
At least Brody's gone
He has to put up with this because he couldn't deal with not doing stand-up
No, Brody would have been on the corner of
Playing drums with the mega drone
Doing crowd work and shit like this would have just not worked
Somebody would have had to move him with Brody and really watch him. Yeah, I think it'd be funny
He'd be drumming on periscope all day all day long
I thought about that the other day
Yeah, what are your plans Steve?
Well, what are you looking at right now long right? You have to have three plans right now short
Medium and long. What do you think short term is just to keep my sanity number one
Uh and stay in a state of gratitude. I'm praying more than ever
Uh, and that gives me a tremendous sense of peace and I feel good to be honest and I'm grateful for that that I feel good
Um, so that's the short term just keep on saying my rosary keep on reaching out the people keep on praying every day
Then I'm going to see what they tell us how much longer this is. Um, because my parents are older
And uh, I haven't gone longer than six weeks without checking in on them
So what I may do is jump on a plane
And then isolate myself if I can get enough masks and hand sanitizer and everything
Or get a test if they have the tests going and I can make sure I don't have it
I'm going to go take care take care of my parents. That's the short term plan
Or hopefully they'll open up the world before that
Then a long term plan is
I don't know
I don't know what's after that. I don't know
What stand-up comedy is going to be I was pitching tv shows. I got I'm working on a movie. Who knows but I don't know
I have a lot of projects that are keeping me busy
But if things get shut down, I'm like, what am I even doing in la if you want to know the truth
I'm like, what do I want out of life? I want to be around my family. I want to be around my friends and uh
This has put everything in the perspective for me before the podcast started. You said something very interesting
That this is like an earthquake in LA like after Northridge
If you look up how many people left after Northridge once you experience an earthquake
You stink twice like is this for me? Yeah, I just got a fucking pay cut
My kid's not in school all fucking year. How much longer do I want to do this shit for?
so
But the problem is I don't think it's just gonna happen without like yeah, you know, they got an over 100,000 cases in New York
I think there's gonna be a mass exodus from New York a mass exodus from LA because there's such expensive cities to live
Who's going to be able to afford to stay? Well, everything goes in cycles like at first
This country was a bunch of farmers. Yeah, and then move to the cities when that's where the jobs were
Yeah, I think this is showing us I think a lot of companies are gonna look at and be like
Wait, we could have an office-based half the size. Yeah, and pay people to work from home
And yeah, then I can live in Florida or yeah, Kansas and pay a third of the rent
Absolutely, it's uh, I think we're gonna just spread out like that
Something that you Steve you've taught me that I'm not good at still is being grateful
When things are bad. Yeah
and there's a lot of this that I
Once the sickness is gone. I think it's gonna be a better world. So do I everybody I think it's I think
This was God telling us go to your room and think about what you've done. That's really how I feel. I know I'm gonna get
criticism for that, but I think
Ultimately if we take the time to reflect about our lives, we're gonna come out better people
We're gonna we're gonna treat each other better. I said every day you're gonna come out a stronger person. I think so
That's it and I'm excited for that. I'm legitimately excited
Because we're gonna have our challenges as americans coming out of this how are we gonna repair this economy?
But I'm so confident in american people
I'm so confident the guys that grew up the way we did with family with neighbors with community
And we started to lose our soul. Let's be honest. Everybody wanted to drive bmw's and have expensive clothes and expensive houses
Instead of sunday dinners
You know how many people I never saw a kid once in los angeles in 20 years learn how to ride a bike
You told me a story today
Two weeks ago. I saw three kids learn two kids learning how to ride a bike another buddy of mine told me that he was riding
Teaching his daughter how to ride a bike. We're spending more time together
We're celebrating the little things together more families are hanging out together. We watch movies every night and giggle
She goes in the shower at 6 30 now. We skip world news tonight. Yeah, don't need to
I don't need to watch the news. We'll need to watch the 5 30
Nothing
We fucking six o'clock. We eat she goes in the bath early now. She comes out
They make popcorn. I fucking hate popcorn. Really? I said, I don't like the smell of it. I smell the other couch
After 10, you don't need to eat popcorn at a movie. You made your point
Yeah, after 10, you don't need to eat popcorn. You're too big to be in popcorn anyway
Unless you got a little hat or you have frittata or you got like a mixing eye or
Or a lip cup
Then you need to fucking add a popcorn until then leave it alone with the popcorn
I see 50 year olds with a tub of popcorn. I know that does to your asshole
The fuck out of here fucking popcorn
Ah, I just said then we watch, you know trolls and
Onward, but how great is that that family time? This is what this country was about. Listen, I agree
I finished the Led Zeppelin book
Now I'm gonna start on the jimmy page book. Okay, but there's a book in there that I saw
That I really really really want to get in there. I can't fuck now on the transfer. I forgot what the
What the book was about what was really important
We were talking about what's really important what you're doing with your family now
And this is what america was is what you were saying this is what america
What you know like reading again
And all that stuff the books
But one of the books that I uh, I forget now. So i'm sorry
It's 10 o'clock at night the edibles are kicking
But uh, I like the reading again
I enjoy talking to my wife again the first two weeks was a little brutal
Yeah
Being locked in with somebody we we figured out our boundaries. We figured out rides
We figured out workouts, you know, and uh, I'm prepared to do another four or six weeks of this
I know i'm gonna be better mentally. Yeah, clearly
I'm gonna let all the
All right, there's a book
In my thing that's called
Ladies and gentlemen lennie bruce. Okay, and i'm gonna read it again
And i'm gonna read it again because that's the book that confirmed that I want to be a stand-up comic
And it wasn't because it was because of what I read in that book
And I think we're gonna go back to it now where
Comics are gonna start hanging out with strip clubs and doing comedy the way we used to
Like that might be an avenue like bring a comic in to host tonight
A popular comic whether it's bill burr or t. O'von
And he does comedy, you know
when you read
Lennie bruce's book you think about him going back to the shelsey and four in the morning
And shooting harrowing with strippers and jazz musicians and
Nowhere in there they talk about cars
And fancy cars and nothing like that. That wasn't what letting bruce was about, you know, right?
Mitty shaw was kind of the same way. Nobody doesn't like success
But there's a success to a degree that a comic under that
Should be a certain way or unless he becomes a movie star
i.e. Eddie Murphy. Yeah, ii Richard Richard fire. Yeah
I think that comedy got ahead of itself. I think that we were doing comedy wrong
Yeah, I think the agents and everybody used influence a greed
You know, why came from you got a guy a job on tv first. He did 10 episodes
Then he went to the store for a few weeks. Then when the episode started airing he went on tour
So every tuesday night that show is on
You know, he's that friday and saturdays and denver comedy works or he said
The ontario improv and he would do that for 10 or 12 weeks
Make some money come home rest and then start up on the show again. Yeah
We forgot all that we didn't want our comics to do shows or anything no more
We got to live comedians have to live and see rob briggle
Who's never said a funny thing in his life? Sweetheart of a guy and dak shepherd who's never said a funny thing in his life
Sweetheart of a guys who I don't know how many failing shows dak shepherd has been on
But chris delia can't get arrested. You know I'm saying so my point is I think the agents
Started depending more on stand-up
And now today they're paying for it. Yeah, because when their stand-up clients actually actually come back
They have nothing to go to
200 300 400 seats see crowds
If you had to pair these kids, I've been with them my agency for seven years
Every agent is losing money because they're not
Either putting energy or anything into podcasts. Yeah the thing that's generating comedy as a whole
They're ignoring and even after this fucking strike that they're cutting down their salaries and percentages and
Demoting people they still won't get a podcast
They're not getting paid right now
But there's 30 000 podcasts that are making a living and not paying commission and not thinking of the paying commission
Yeah, because this was something they had to sell to their agents and the agents were like, ah
People have commission like if you call your agent tomorrow say I'm starting the podcast with ryan sick. That's great. Yeah
Okay, I'll call you later. They don't respect it. Well, that's what I think's one of the exciting things
That's one of the things I'm looking forward to is how the business is going going to evolve
You know, like this whole podcast thing is that's what boomed the state. That's what boomed all the ticket sales
That's what that that's what got live comedy going was all these people hearing people on podcasts and stuff like that
So to me, it's exciting. I don't know what the next step is going to be but I'm looking forward to it
I'm very looking forward to putting together a new album
I cannot tell you I'm like a child right now. I'm just waiting for that hook. Yeah, and I think I got the hook
And I could run with it plus
I got an hour old material. Yeah, then nobody's seen on tape. They've seen it, but it's not on tape. Yeah
I could still run that in
And really get two hours going once everything starts again
And we get 20 people. Maybe I shoot a special with 20 people small
Yeah, so up to three dollars online. That's it. You know, and that's it. This is not
You know, today I got a call. Well, people are gonna have to do this and this for starters
Just lower your ticket prices. Yeah
Everybody's gonna have to take a chunk on ticket prices because the night you're not gonna sell a ticket
Yeah, listen ticket prices for comedy shows was supposed to be
Agreeable with a movie ticket. Yeah, so everybody can it should be for everybody something. Yeah, you know
When you went to a movie theater in the old days, it wasn't the same. There was a strip mall
There was a comedy store there a comedy club
It wasn't the best comedy club in the world
But the fucking Popeye is sold out. So what are you gonna do? Right? Take a home? No
Take it to the comedy show
Drink her up then go home and suck a twat after she lasts for an hour. All right, you know what I'm saying?
That's the obvious thing. But if I go into a comedy club, I gotta pay
$41 $4 ticket charge
To drinks that becomes something different too expensive. That's what I hated about where the business had gone now
I was looking at ticket prices and I was like these people
How can they fucking sleep at night? But but that that's just a
Small person our whole culture did that everybody everybody did it everybody every business got too greedy
And now they want to cry that they don't have money. That's not my problem. You were jumping up and down
You know all your fucking vp's and senior vp's. Yes, they all paid themselves at homes or hundreds of millions at all
Sell those homes and get your wife sucking dick. It's not my problem. We're all in this together
Fucking employees, you know, your wife likes to suck dick and you're on viagra. Fuck it make a switch somewhere
I mean, I don't get all that stuff. I'm like I said to you
All these businesses that are fucking with people write them down. Yeah
Write them down
Yeah, and the first time you're gonna do business with them. You fucked up. Yeah, if enough people go, you know what?
I remember what they did during fucking
Whatever. Yeah, I want to give them my 45 hours that I paid to go see molly crew
Yep, I'm never gonna give them money again. They can keep the 45 fucking that we're done here
And that's why I told you guys that first sunday when everything was falling apart. I go do me a favor guys
Get your money back for all these shows tomorrow. I wake up the next day. I sold 50 tickets in austin
I was like, I just told you to fucking take away the shows now the show got pushed till january
It's fucking april
Fucking april, you know, I told you to fucking pull your money away
Take it out of there. You don't want to give your money to nobody right now. Your money belongs to you
Yeah, your money belongs to you if I would have bought a motley crew ticket for 350 right now
I'll call them every day. I'll be sending them pizza boxes with nothing in it. Yeah until I get my money and grenade twitches and
Shit like that, you know, I'm getting my fucking money, you know anything good you watch over this
Uh, I watched the narcos, mexico. I thought that was great second season the second one the most recent one
I thought that was really good. I jumped on that tiger king bandwagon when it was brand new. I didn't know when I was watching
I would watch it yet. It's
Unbelievable. It's too. It's getting too many crazy reviews. Yeah now too many people kind of ruined it
It's hard to watch like you watch an hour at a time. It's too crazy. Yeah, I couldn't believe what I was watching
Um
And that's it. Honestly, I've been talking it one of the blessings that's come out of this
Is so many people have reached out to me people that I haven't talked to in 10 years people
I haven't seen in a couple years me too and it's like all day long. It feels like
Oh, this is what we should be doing all the time
if
It's good. I'm spending more time with people over the phone or facetime or zoom or whatever
And I got projects I have to work on. I told people in the beginning. I said listen guys before you go into this and lose your mind
There's no debt is prison
They don't throw you in jail for debt. I owed
hundreds of thousands of dollars of drug dealers and credit cards
They're not going to throw you in jail. All right. You might disconnect your phone
and get a burner phone on the girlfriend's name for a few weeks
And little by little it just starts to fall off your credit bureau. Yeah little by little
If you drop out
You know when I got into coming I didn't get into coming to be a star. I got into coming to drop out of civilization
Interesting. I had had it
I had had I didn't know what you know after my mother's death and the divorce
I had had it bureaucracy. I lost a kid
You know, I found that that you have to pay for an attorney to do anything in this life
If you have no attorney, you end up in prison or your deals want to get lost, you know
I found out so many things so comedy for me was
Triple runs until I turned 60. Yeah, I could careless, you know drive meet chicks do drugs
Wake live like the catcher from major league
Remember when they call him in the beginning and he's got two mexican chicks and
It's a chicken running through the room. Yeah, that's my that was what I wanted my life to be
You know, I wanted to live like Charles Bronson
I wanted to die alone. Fuck is my mind changed
Nobody wants to die alone. You know, yeah, all these things that you have that you wanted to and you changed later on, you know
this
Experiences made me look at things a lot different now. I love comedy 29 years. I've been doing it
I don't see it
for me the next five years
I see it as something to do, but that's something up not something I could take on the road
And tour constantly. Yeah, I don't know I'm gonna try to do
I'm gonna try to add another dimension to my arsenal in the next couple months
Let me watch the smoke the clouds park. Yeah to see how it shakes out a little bit. We're attacking. I got an idea
I got the idea you're involved good
Lee has to show me has to show me he wants to be involved because
Gotta be out of the house by nine every day
Whether you took eight of the moves tonight before 22. It don't matter
Coffee a shower bang went on the shower. I think that's important
I think that's a good tip for anybody listening how to keep your sanity through all this
Listen, my sanity is very easy. Yeah, I got up at 7 30. Whenever time I get up
I have coffee. Yeah, I talked to my wife for a couple minutes. I do whatever I have to do on social media
Yep, I write my journal and as soon as the journal is finished
Regardless of what time it is. I run and take a shower. Yeah, because that's the most important thing out of this whole thing
Exactly. I make my coffee. I jump in the shower. Take a shower. Yep
If you want to jump in the shower and put your coffee on and come out and that coffee's on fire
I'm not ever going to be mad at you. That's what I I make sure it's the right temper
I have my ice water
You always told me years ago have that ice water in the morning get the system going as soon as you wake up
You have a glass of I turn on the shower. I get my ice water. I put the coffee in the machine
I take my shower and come out my coffee's waiting for me. I'm in a good mood for the rest of the day
You open up your thing you read you're making notes. You look at your emails
You go over your schedule for your day
You write your journal. I don't nobody's got work and nobody's got nowhere to go
But let me tell you something if you sit there with your fucking pajamas
And no pants on and just sit in front of the tv
You're not gonna do much. It's gonna affect your brain. You're not gonna do much during this day
It's not gonna work out, right? You're gonna be in a worse position than you were when this thing started
Yeah, so I advise everybody you get up in the morning. You got an hour
An hour you take that shower you comb your hair like you're going to a meeting
Absolutely. I don't care if you just get in the car
Take a ride around the block and go get gas. Yep
At least you did something to make you feel yourself like you were human
Exactly. I did something last week, but I wouldn't do for anybody
You know last week was no school. Yeah, so whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second
So we we don't have school for two weeks
And then you're gonna take a spring break and really fuck me up in the middle of this
Well, you didn't fuck me up. You fucked up my little girl's head for the fucking week
The kid didn't know what to do. So sadly we did a couple things. I took her here
And we were sitting there and she did something good. Oh, we were here
We did a podcast. We have a podcast tomorrow or four
Uh, we did a podcast and I'm sitting there and she did so well because this one was about music
So she actually had to talk about music and then bring the piano in from the computer
And it tells you what to hit and we sang Yankee Doodle came to tell hey
She hates when I go hey, she's like dad stop with the
You know, no matter what she sings is always a hey
So she did a great job and I'm sitting here looking at and I go what
Can I do
To put normality back into her life. Yes, and I did something. I don't wish on nobody
I said I'm just gonna go take a look
I'm gonna go to Burbank and go to Chick-fil-A
They go to Chick-fil-A to go. Mm-hmm. You know put in the back seat wipe it down
I did something better. I took her right to McDonald's. She was so fucking happy
Because I put normality back into her life
She said but daddy mommy's only got mad. I don't know how I'll deal with mommy
I put my glove on it was 462
I gave the guy a five. He gave me the change in the glove
I put in a second cup
I took the thing and I put it on the fucking floor
That made her weak. Yeah
All we need is one or two days that we do something normal
I mean, I don't want you to go to the gay club and suck a dick. That's not normal. Right. I don't want you to
You know, well for some people I don't want you to go
But you still need
Something to remind you of the old you
Absolutely, once you start slipping with showers like people tell me I haven't shaved in a month
I have a woman told me that they haven't shaved in my legs
I had to finally shave my pussy because it was bothering me. You're a filthy animal. He's working in reverse
Yeah, you know, I don't want you to get up and work out. You know why?
Because there's so much stress on the body right now
On the psyche wait till you work out and you start throwing punches
I could throw five minutes of punches like nothing now. Yeah first three minutes. I'm winded
Yeah, I'm thinking corona is coming my whole body, right? I feel spots. I got the measles
That's your mind playing tricks on you. Yeah, but that's your mind is heavy
Yes, your endurance is heavy. Everything's heavy. It takes me a couple rounds of hitting the bag
to warm up. I mean, I got to look up and breathe and
Fucking focus and then at the end of the warm up at the end of everything
The downward dogs the stretches, you know what I do?
I actually meditate that's good and I try to focus on the sounds of this guy
I do the whole thing. I sit like a fucking Hindu, you know the fingers like this
I put my I focus on the third eye
And I know some of you people who listen to the podcast in the last four weeks
You can see that little by little my my tone
I'm accepting what's happening. And this is the biggest thing you can do right now
It's accept what's happening
and prepare
Have two plans a plan a a plan b. Yeah, you know, you said the best
The mass exit. This is gonna be here in new york. Yep people living near go. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa
I'm paying 32 for a one bedroom. Yeah. I'm doing this and this and what do I want really one out of life
This is a fucking scumbag
My friend I went to college with he'd get me a job in ohio. Yeah in columbus. I get an apartment for regular
New york. Goodbye. This is exactly what to do. Where are we gonna put all these people? All right
Where are we gonna put these new york and california transplants?
You know people gonna be unhappy with their local
State government remember you can't make everybody happy, right?
So that means people are gonna be flip flopping, you know
I've met two people in two weeks that are friends of my daughter from the school. Yeah, they're out of here at the end of May
Wow
One just bought a house online in texas. Wow
And the other one got laid off the nurse and she's going right to jersey. They're going to pump springs for a couple days
They're gonna come back pack up the house
And they're not going to tolerate this no more because what's the
What's 50% of this shit's coming back? Yeah, and the other and we don't know so and and you have the same dilemmas in your lives guys
And i'm telling you right now as your uncle joey
Do not let this eat you up. You're gonna lose
You're gonna lose you will lose against this
