Because he had me so worried I love my friends. No, I did I love the input actually it was March 2nd through the 9th
And I was doing something like that. Yeah in season of the show. I had already done the first season
But I guess like people said he but actually to tell you the truth
I was wearing a mask back then. I knew it was serious when I got to Korea like everybody's wear a mask
The sets are smaller over there. They're not as big as they are. Oh before you went to Korea when you saw in the plane
Did you run out of will?
Did you tell your mother goodbye? I was I had gloves. I had goggles. I had a man
I called you so you got on that plane, you know, I would say dude if I waited too long
I couldn't get out of it and believe me
I'm glad I did it because that money's gonna get me through this pandemic, but Jesus man. I would they were I was
Nervous, but I was also like I'm just gonna just social distance and wear my mask and gloves and goggles
I wasn't playing games. I don't think in March 2nd the stress had
Developed as much people as me. I saw it March 2nd at the homely store
And I was done back in February. I was in Atlantic City
at the hard rock casino and even then I had life saw in my room spraying
I wasn't touching anything. You knew everything already in February. No, I would just unless they stop
When billionaires stop with the NBA and the NHL and just stop what they're gonna lose billions of dollars. I went
There's something up here. Something's something's real and then you were monitoring it
And I just said there's something else that maybe they're not telling us so I wasn't taking any chances. I had gloves
I'm a little bit of a prepper. I had I already had the N90
I have a case like that just a little box of the N95 mask. I had the rubber gloves. I had the goggles
I mean just because you never I'd rather I'd rather have that stuff. Sorry, absolutely
Yeah, so and sure enough when I was going I had the gloves I had the mask I too bagged it
I got two masks got a cloth mask over top of that 95 mask
But I wasn't taking any chances. I just wasn't I mean, I was like even when I thought about you every day every day
I appreciate it. I prayed I called Adam Tom not to allow you back on the comic store
That you were electrocuted motherfucker, I mean, I gotta do it
I can't I gotta save my people this fucking guy went into the heart of Korea that I call you a week late
And you're like, I'm having a great time. I'm in Boston with Lenny Clark. Oh, he's gonna kill another one of my idols
No, no

Putting the stuff on I was social distancing
Well, piss me off was when I called you and you said you came back. I didn't bother you. No test. No, hello
Welcome to America. There's a fucking epidemic coming here. Well, I'm also a citizen
I mean the the lines for people coming in from other places
That was like hardcore, but with me. I I saw me had the goggles. I had a mask
I have my hoodie up. I had two bag masks on a rubber gloves
So I go, yes, I had to take over, you know, all that stuff off once I get in and he saw my face because yeah
But they didn't they didn't they didn't stop. They took my temperature
Before I left Korea twice. Good day. Yeah. Yeah, okay, so they do it over there not oh, they were like twice
They it's part of the new
Who thing yeah, yeah, they were taking they took your temperature twice and on the way back Joey
There was nobody I had 15 seats and from a 15 seat nobody was in my section of a business class
There was nobody in there. I was like, this is awesome
You know what I mean, and you know, they had the curtains drawn
There was another section another section but the section I was in
Nobody was in there. So I wasn't worried on the way back
On the way over there was really not a lot of people around me either. So
I'm not good here. No, no, I'm sorry. I was at the park with my daughter. I
had just gotten back from Vegas and
I just called you to check in. No, like I'm going to Korea. I'm like, I thought it was like a bad dream. Yeah
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, but at this time
I didn't know architecture either. See, I was my fault. Yeah, I don't I'm not go with geography
Once you say I'm going to the Philippines. I'm thinking everything's to China at that time
Yeah, at that time I thought all the Asian countries and I have nothing against them. I wasn't blaming anybody
Right. I was just like Jimmy. You're not going. Yeah, but believe me. I tried after that call you called your manager
You see I told him I said you got to get me out of this. He goes, bro
He goes, we're committed. You're leaving like that. I was leaving that money goes you can't do this to these guys and I go
so I went but
Also, I looked up to South Korea and the infection in South Korea was in Degas
Which is like oh like it's like 500 miles from where I was going
Seoul is a city of 11 million people and they only had a hundred cases and I was checking they were doing drive-thru testing
They were already on top of this. So I said I'm going for a week. I could get in I get out
I'm only going to set three days and I'll just go hit and run this social distance that I did and
Thank God nothing happened, but you're right. I was a little nervous
I but it also prepped me for everything else. I was wearing a mask
I went even in Boston. I had a mask on and they were like kind of making fun of me
Then I got a Lenny plenty Clark picked me up, you know, he's one of my heroes as well
I got a mask off. I don't want to kill. I'm gonna kill Lenny
You know, I'm gonna try the mask on but you know, I finally like
Social distancing and stuff when you were there, but it was like I mean that was it
I knew I didn't once I got to the end of March. I knew I was good
I
Mean
How do you feel? I feel great man? I'm walking do any tests or anything and he COVID and the antibody test are you interested?
Yeah, I would do a test. See I would do a test, but I know I know I'm good
Did I take my vitamins in the morning? I've been walking every day
I've been walking every day five miles a day the last two days. We did six miles with our boy Steve Simone
We got Lisa I had out there doing a little walk. I don't leave just trying to get just trying to get
Just getting that sunshine minutes
I just read this the other day the sunshine even 20 minutes of the sun the body produces micro
Bacterials that plate viruses and parasites and everything else
Yeah, but you're out there for an hour and a half walking six miles. That's not even better
That's even better. Now you're killing more parasites
You were talking about you know what happens when you eat hummus they turn into worms inside of you
So, you know, I am like you got to realize when you eat beef. What's in the beef?
When you eat all this shit, you're reading what's in it. Yeah, there's toxins in it and your body needs to get rid of
Yeah, so the best way to forget about yeah, your body pisses some of them out
Yeah, sometimes you take a shit that smells like ten horses died. Oh my god
I've been here. I'm on the garlic pill, you know, three or four those a day. That's nature's penicillin
That's nature's penicillin
Then I make my wife how many garlic cloves is the recipe called for because you know white people they stick to the recipe
Garlic cloves then put six. Yeah, well, it won't taste the same. It'll taste better. It's garlic
Yeah, and I'll shit blood and it cleans you
I'm a big garlic dude always have been when Pablo sent me the capitals
I was like, oh
I thought in the old days like my mom when I was a kid used to make me close the butter
With Cuban bread and olive oil
When I first came I still remember garlic, you mean a garlic on bread. No fucking cook garlic like raw
Raw garlic with olive oil and whatever, you know, I don't like fucking a vampire
You know what I do? I take the clothes of garlic chop them up. I put this add this stuff called manuka honey
It's like a super food. It's like, you know, it's like it costs like 20 30 bucks
But it's just raw super unscrupulous and I put the garlic right in the honey and I swallow it helps me get it down
But you're right
You take dumps, but they stink
But I'd rather I'd rather I'm telling you that's nature's penicillin. I'd rather take it like you said
Simone goes I think I put too much garlic in the sauce. I don't give it to me
Yeah, I like it, you know, we live in California, which you know, most people listen to this
Yeah, live in California. You live in Arizona or some people in New York or some people in England with you
It's fucking cloudy every day. Whatever the fuck, you know, you I
Like I love the Sun. Yeah, the best son I've ever been out in front of this, Colorado
You know, it's a kid and I go to Aspen you walk 10 minutes
We came back with a people go with you come from Jamaica
Yeah, you're 12,000 feet higher than most people of 14,000 feet. Yeah, I went out and bought
SPF and I would put it on and hitchhike
And come home and the people be like, where the fuck so I fell in love with the Sun
I've always liked the Sun. Yeah, I never knew the healing properties of it
You know, how good the Sun is right now. There's no pollution
Go down Laurel Canyon and see how low how much you could far how far you can look into that
Today take a ride for a fly
Just to change it up. What was the last time we went to Hollywood leave never a month. Okay today
Just 430 when you think it's supposed to be trafficking
Getting your car and go below you can see all the way out there all the way
It is the most spectacular thing you have ever seen. No, no, no
You used to see it before yeah now you could actually see that little house
That has a porch sit in front of it and kids playing you could see all the cleanness in the air
So the air has been the best that's ever been they showed the air in New Delphi
Yeah, I never knew whatever you could see that you could see the Himalayas
It's tremendous now. So dude that no no father's disease is not
Staying home. It's getting out. It's getting out social distance, but get out in the sun. No, I avoid people. Yeah
We do this walk in the neighborhood. There's nobody back there
There's blue birds. I'm gonna see blue birds butterflies
Feel finches. I mean you walk through you see all this stuff that you never get
I mean, what's the last time we've seen this this birds everywhere?
And you know the flowers are blooming. I will stay away from people we do a social distance walking, but it's
Dude, it's great to get out. I'm telling you. I feel great. Yeah, this is this will be day seven seven days
Five at least five miles a day. What were you doing for the first couple weeks? Were you just home? I know you're a single guy
I mean, how was it feeling for you at the house?
Well, you know what anxiety is where you're getting that was cut this couple days, you know
Like I like after like I like laid around for like three days that was getting me down
I missed doing stand-up. I said how long is this going to go on?
I was kind of I had a freak out and then I said, you know what? No
Get up every day. I started reading books. I got I'm reading four books
I got one by the one by the toilet one by my bed one by my couch
So I got books going I got I'm watching a couple documentaries. I'm catching up on some stuff
I want to catch up on every decorated my joint. I'm turning my back bedroom into like a little social media studio
I'm gonna keep myself busy. I'm walking. I'm eating healthy. I'm cooking. I'm learning how to cook some stuff that I wanted to cook
I couldn't cook
Trying that I'm just look. I'm just trying to stay positive. I'm trying to stay focused. You're right
This thing can beat you up, but you got to make a decision. I mean, I'm gonna be job
physical
What's the word it's gonna like the beating you're taking already you're going into a fight
With a financial stigma going into your head. Yeah, you're about to lose everything. Yeah
So you can do two things you can sit there where we kill yourself, you know, I'm not listen things work out furlough
You know unemployment and they all work out whatever, but then I think there's more like I read an article in time about
How kids from this generation are affected? I have her involved all day
She's been going since 815 this morning. Yeah, you know, I don't let her she's waiting for me right now to hit the mitts because she gets three stars
I get her outside throwing punches. She throws a nine pound ball, you know
So I put myself on a schedule. It's been a blessing to have her
Just when you want to shoot yourself. She says something to you that makes you laugh. Yeah, stupid. You know, yeah, I
Gotta ask you about something else now because you mentioned it. I mean
More than me and more than these fucking pieces of shit
Calling themselves comedians with no class
You have been a veteran of two comedy wars here
You were a veteran of the Kenneson days at the comedy store, which
History yeah, history and then these last seven years, which has been a great run at the store. Absolutely
We all know as human beings that's going to take a
Minute to get it back. Yeah to where it was all our businesses every other club in the country, you know, yeah
What do you see?
Happening for yourself for comedy for the year and as a whole. Well, I'm glad you brought it up
I'm in May 15th. I got a brand new album drop them called zero tolerance
It's coming out, you know, they'll be on serious XM
But it also be available on all the streaming platforms on May 15 itunes itunes. Yeah, I think it's one of my best albums
So I got that coming out and I'm also working
I mean, I'm just keeping keeping right what I think will happen is that's what I think I think if you got a comedy club
That seats
300 people that comedy club will now seat 150. They'll do some social distance seating initially
So people aren't sitting right next to each other until they get back to the point where everybody feels comfortable
But I think so the money's gonna drop. I think a lot of the clubs have struggled like the like that this like that the
the
Servers and struggle a lot of these people are having a tough time
Make a living so I think it's gonna come back a little bit gradually, but I do think
Eventually it will come all the way back. I think people want to hear what comedians have to say about this
This is a whole new I mean, you know that you say you survived a pandemic
You can say that when you get to that point and and people are gonna want to hear what you have to say about it. I
Think people need to laugh more than ever now
I mean, you know, I don't and people doing these virtual fucking comedy shows. I'm going fucking knock it off
But could we stop with the virtual?
I seen you in front of a packed house on a Saturday night go down like an Iraqi fighter pilot
What makes you think it'd be any funnier from your fucking living room your wife?
Just fucking walked out of the living room when you taping you said stop it. It's look man
The cats making a rope to hang himself. I swear to God. You're up there with you fucking
Screwship fucking act. You're I was I've seen those things
And I love listen much respect
For giving it a shot. It just doesn't work for me. Look at you ever see a guy get fucked on the ass my mistake
It looks fun
Looks like a lot of fun some guys struggling his head's like a little retard
You know I'm saying some big black dude is fumbling in the air. Yeah, yeah
You're like that looks like fun to do that to somebody. That don't mean you want to do it
If I get done doing it, you're not gonna fuck a quarter minutes out of your house
I'm March 2nd. I sat here with Lee and played Johnny genius
I know me and Lee we're gonna get the pantry on going in charge ten bucks a month
And I was gonna move that chair put that couch slide it down and put Simone
Uh, Eric Rocha me Lee and and Dean del Rey in here every night. Yeah, and just do a night of new material every night tonight's topic
Draw it out of the hat penises. Boom three minutes. Yeah, three minutes. I thought this was gonna work
And then I was like I'm gonna kill them
We're gonna kill each other because somebody's gonna get the corona right because I knew just sitting there by myself
Wasn't really gonna cut it. I just know I just know you need that energy
You need that now. I know that there's people that have certain platforms
That they have people watching you and that laughter is delayed. Yeah, people are really trying. Yeah, god bless them
You know what for me? I'm taking a breather. I'm with you. I'm taking a breather. I mean, I've been approached to do a couple
I'm just not I mean like I mean
realistically
It's been a fucking month like you've been you've been by yourself from I get it some people don't have the skill set
But I certainly don't want you sitting in your living room with a fucking ukulele
Doing fucking song parodies like everybody turns into weird al yankovic. I go
Don't you have something else like it's like it's not doing anything for me is these people are fucking turning like, you know
Fucking Karen's a fucking expert on infectious diseases like shut the some dude shaved his fucking chest hair into a bat signal and dyed it blue
You ought to be quarantined for a fucking three weeks
Hey, here about Tommy Esposito. No, what happened? He sucked a dick. Is he gay? No
He was just bored throwing quarantine and decided to see what he's missing. Yeah, like people like
Knock it the fuck off. It's only been a couple weeks
Well, I mean, is this what comics talk about because I always hear comics
Complain all the roads boring you're by yourself in a hotel room
It sounds like that's kind of like you guys have been preparing for this like for me. I'm not I'm doing fine
I've been quarantined for years. I like being by myself
I get it. But there's also people that have mental issues that don't do well and stuff like this and need human contact or whatever
I'll tell you know
Ever since the beauty salons closed with the nail salons and selfies have dropped like the stock market
Ain't nobody fucking posted selfies no more. If I get the eyelashes are falling off
They got to get the
I'm baking. I mean, you're not able to wax your back and fucking
You know, I just
Those are fucking reality. It is been served. I think it's a hard set for humanity
I think it's a hard reset for you man. I think a lot of people have taken things for granted
We've got to place it. Thank you. We've uh, little things. Thank you
Turns out now are the big things the handshakes hugging your friends telling jokes having a drink having some laughs together
I'm telling you man
You'll never take that shit for granted ever again. And but we have we have we've been mean to each other
You know what you realize is this has proven to me
The planet earth is a giant human eco sphere and we're all kind of connected
What hurts the guy on the other side of the world hurts me as well
And that we should all fucking learn to what I do
Have faith in is that we got some of the smartest minds in the world trying to solve this problem
And we're all united in one cause I think
I think we need to be more like that. I think people need to be more like that
I think people need to be kinder. You see someone struggling. Stop help them up. Don't be a mean fucking asshole
Be kind. I think that you see
Like even nature like the the air is as clear as it's been rivers are coming back fish are like repopulating
And maybe this was much much the nature's way of going. Hey listen, we live on a planet where anything could kill you
spiders snakes
Carol Baskin a lot of shaking fucking kill you on the planet, you know
But this is I think it's just a real hard reset for humanity
And I think you should just like you said on the way in
People doing some of that big work up top doing big work. They haven't thought and it's high school
Nobody's really thought since high school. Yeah, you got into high school college
SATs bcts
At resumes you move from emerson. You're in an apartment. You don't know what's going on. Yeah
They're charging you for parking that, you know, you've never had a chance
To really sit down with your own outside
Blee and I gotta tell you this
I tell you this seriously, you know how what this work out when I've been selling you is
It's a form of meditation. Yeah to let you know. It's okay when you get back from walking with steve
I want you to go upstairs take off your pants
immediately take off your shirt
Don't eat nothing. Don't sit out on your couch. Jump in a shower
You get out
And this is where the true meditation comes in. This is what's going to build your heart
Is the stretching and at the end of the stretching
Sitting for the best amount of time that you can
Even if you lay down and yoga they call it, uh
Savasana
And just realize at the end of your work outcome your heart down
And this is what's helped me the last couple weeks to just
First week or two that I was hitting the bag
Guys, I was five minutes away from a stroke. Yeah
I was scared to death because the fear
Was coming up my neck that stroke type shit
But I would punch through the fear and just kept throwing hooks and digging into the body like rocky
And it seemed you know
I was so scared that the first five minutes of anything I did
Whether it was
body weight squats
I wouldn't need five minutes just to relax
My heart and mind would spin out of control
So this has become like I'm back to meditating. Yeah, meditating. It sounds so good, man. It's it just calms it all down
Close your eyes
Breathe
Focus on your nose and breathing
And let everything go away your mother your father the cat. You know what you can't pay rent
Who gives a fuck? Yeah
Let's fucking dummy llamas
We just release just release
I do that every day after my workout outside in the heat of the sun
Sweat and I gotta wipe my eyebrows while I'm doing it. I just sit there put my fingers together as gay as it sounds
I give gratitude for what I have I give gratitude for what I don't have
And I go Jesus Christ. I just finished the workout. I'm gonna live another day
Regardless all these people they're showing you the tubes and their noses and
you know
It's just we gotta be very we're fortunate. Yeah, I I think I think you're right. I think that daily gratitude
I've been doing that. You know, I've been saying my rosary every night. This is it
I've been saying my basics again. No more fucking around. I mean, you know, I say my rosary before I go to bed at night
I pray for the front liners the EMTs the doctors and nurses the people
That are really on the front line to this thing my family my friends the people I love and care about
And in the morning I do that stretching get up to stretch and I do that meditation. I'm telling you
It's the only thing keeps me sane. It does. I don't watch. I don't even turn on my tv. I don't watch the news
No, no more. You know what I got? I turn on the news at six. I turn on the six o'clock news
While I'm moving around and eating dinner, but no more sitting in front of my buddy
Yeah, my buddy gave me this gift a while back was one of those old style iPods
And it literally it has every top 40 song in every category from like 1955
To 2013 it's got the entire Beatles collection. It's got the theme song for the
For the tv shows that you grow up watching, you know, I mean
It's got everything 150 gigabyte. And I just pick an artist like you're there. There was pink Floyd
Bam all day long with the pink Floyd just listening led zeppelin billy
You know just listening to music and I don't I don't watch it. It calms me down. No, you can't watch
You watch that news show you you you you've been under the end table
Working on a callous of the roof of your mouth from a load of revolver. You know, I mean, I can't you know
You know what I was doing I was watching from
Because I'm I love being scared. I was watching the news from three to four
So I would watch world world, you know, eyewitness news. Yeah, locally and then the world news tonight with david
Mule at four o'clock I'd be shaking
And that's why I was forcing myself to go outside and hit the back. Yeah, that's why my stress levels were so high
Then I said, let me try it without watching the news. I was Muhammad Ali
I was bouncing stinging, you know, I did it doing fucking sugary liners by myself
And I go, that's it. No more news about two years ago. No more news about two years ago
I fucking had had the cable company come get the box
Yeah, get this out of my house
Why do you think they call a fucking programming people sitting around just putting fear in your head
It's putting control on you with fear
You know, I want to say this too before we get on off on a tangent
I know a lot of people are big fans of comedy here. You get the church family
But a lot of comedians that you support like you said, no one's working
But if you go to pandora and spotify and you listen to some of your favorite artists that helps them get
You know a little bit of money at the end of each month like, you know
So a lot of guys are like, you know, just go listen to some of your favorite artists that helps them out like comedians and whatnot. So
It's a good thing to you know, it's like we're not working either. I don't know when I'm going to go back
I don't know when it's going to come back. So
You know, it's a way to way to help out some of your favorite comedians. You go listen to the stuff or whatever it is
Go listen on spotify and pandora and you know, they get a couple
You know get a couple pennies on every song or whatever the deal is but it helps out
Are you willing to get on planes tomorrow?
Are you ready to get on plane? I'm going to plane tomorrow, you know, I gotta I gotta it's uh, it's funny
I had this corporate gig that got canceled was supposed to be like, uh, you know, march 28th. So they moved it to may 20th
Now they're talking about virtual doing a virtual show. I said, well, listen, tell I mean
I'm making any money. I'll do it. You already paid me half, but I'll do it
but
You know the price with the price is you know, I mean, I didn't have anything to do with this and just
As I'll do the virtual comedy show. I'll do some stuff. I said if you're going to do that
I said make sure you have people
On the other thing so you can cut the meat tail on a joke
And then you can cut to like the 20 people on the other side of zoom laughing and stuff
So it makes it seem like it's a real comedy show
I said, so if you have the people call in, I mean, it's for guilders house
I want to raise that money up out
But have like the 20 people sitting there so I could do the joke cut to me
Then you cut to them
Then you cut the meat out another that way it seems like a comedy show
If you're going to do it do it that way, you know
And then maybe we can do a q&a and they can ask me anything and we could do the
You know the time or whatever. I mean
Listen, I I'd love I mean
Other than I don't know what other than that
I don't know what to do and I don't know when it's going to come back to full swing
I'm just hoping that
Doesn't go off for too long. I don't want to become a solo artist on fucking pornhub
Under the name of pinky
I mean everything I'm trained to do it's an acting
I mean
You had to cancel that thing with the sopranos they reflect and pick that up
Would you ever go back to do that or no?
What are you going to do?
Yeah, I mean it's it's like acting or stand up or anywhere
You know even I'm looking at things right now going. How are they going to do this?
How are they going to do that? I got a call last week and they said that they pushed the movie back
Yeah till March 12
And uh
That once things slowed down they would try to put the band back together to shoot that one scene, right?
I
My response was we're gonna have to see when that scene is at what time
Because I'm 57
And I fit into all those things and I'm not even traveling for comedy. Yeah, like I'm not traveling for comedy
I'm holding on to my brand date in June
Yeah, I've got a Vegas July 31st, which I normally get an addendum poor because they're not going to be able to seat
1600 people in there. Right. I've got August 30 August 1st at San Diego
I could walk there. Yeah
You know, yeah, and I got Salt Lake City September 4th and 5th
If they hold on yeah, you know, you got to remember
What comedians what people don't know at home and then everybody knows that every every aspect of life has a slow and a busy season
Ours is October through May is when we thrive
Yeah, if you want to go on the summer, there's nothing wrong with it, but you're fighting against vacations barbecues
After school part, you know, yeah, plus everything's been postponed or delayed
So they're gonna have to make up all these other dates for all these other shows they cancelled
I doubt that like theater acts are going back to the clubs. That's not going to happen. I think it's gonna have to happen
You think so
It's gonna have to happen where you're gonna start
I think about what what's blue bill blooming right?
It's gonna do. Yeah, it's 1200 seats
Yeah, I'm not gonna put you have to put 400 you got to handle those dates. Yeah to move on until they do open up
Yeah
Well, I also I also think that you know the comedy clubs are you know, they haven't been working either for three months
So they're gonna come back out of this
struggling a little bit and trying to figure out how to
You know juggle all this stuff. It's gonna be it. It'll be interesting to see
How they start to move back me. I love to go entertain. I know what people are going through
Yeah, I love to go out during the week and crack jokes. I think it's gonna go back to monday through sunday. Yeah
Comedy wow, we'll go back to seven nights a week
That's one thing. I think so
It makes sense
We're trying to get shows out if I could get jodya's to come in
Monday and tuesday. Yeah and bang out seven and nine
for 140 people
Out through seven nights a week. Yeah
So schedules are gonna change that's gonna be good. You go out of town now on a tuesday and wednesday. Yeah, that's cool. You're not gonna get the profit
Margin you're gonna get the percentages as friday thursday and saturday
No, but the thing is it'll start to come back
And I think the other thing is too as long as you you watch the w cover. I mean people have been quarantined
For it will be almost for two months. So if you didn't have it
Then you don't have it. I mean you just gotta you know, I'm not I mean no one's gonna go to a nfl game with all those people
But I mean small groups of people nothing is burning me up more than walking through the living room
And then talking about another fell drafty other day
And like sitting there going around and got rid of what's his name and i'm like guys
You gotta bring back baseball first. Yeah
You gotta bring back the NBA final
So I guess friday the NBA players start practicing by themselves. Yeah
You know, what are you gonna do? They're thinking you know the idea, right? Yeah, vegas
putting every team in a different hotel and nobody's allowed in and out
and they only
Play you only go to one place to play they're trying to put something
Something together. Yeah, so nobody has to travel
Every hotel in vegas is utilized. That's empty. They're all empty empty
Nobody goes in and out except the players and they get shuttled right through an arena
They get tested they play each other. This is one option. I heard. Yeah, this makes sense
You know baseball you're gonna have to go back
To a third of the thing. I don't want to sit next to anyone. I don't want nobody behind me. Yeah
I don't want a fat guy behind me yelling go dodges. That's not gonna happen with hot dog chunks going all over my neck
Yeah, you know they they've
they've
they
What they did they're gonna have to redo look at playing. Yeah new seating on playing
I think there's also new cleaning guidelines on playing. Oh, yeah, thank god. I think they're gonna
Yeah, they're like germ tubes. Oh, yeah, they have to I think you're gonna have they're gonna do the cleaning guidelines are gonna be different
everything's gonna be different
I think eventually it will go back to like where it was
I think if there's no second wave of this thing
There is gonna be a second way you think so. You know, why don't I know? Why?
Disney's not opening
Yeah, and then you got all the liability for that stuff too. Disney is not opening
So 2021 that even if you're a retard
You're at home thinking to yourself. Disney's not opening
Disney's on the jack up that Pixar division because that they could do
Everybody could work on animation by themselves. Yeah, they're gonna bring back the looney tunes
Nice that we're doing all that stuff
They're gonna I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. No
They're gonna beef up that, you know, they're not it's like some girl put well. I hope they do construction it
Did you see that? Yes, right? No some girl put on there from the church. I hope they do construction and fix some of the disney
Well, is that are you retarded? Yeah
Did somebody hit you in the head with a stick boat should be guys in your eye
They're closing those places because they know
70% of people have to fly over here
To go to disney land. I got Angelino's go to disney land. Yeah, I got news for you. I don't think that's I don't think uh
They may ban that china and that international immigration. That's
That stuff's done too. That ain't coming back. There's no more immigration or you ain't coming into the country
I think that's going to extend for a little while. My cousin sent me pictures of the streets of cuba
Nobody
They just extended orders in some town in mexico and if you see on your street, they're gonna shoot you. Yeah
Without a fucking head mask
Yeah, if you're on the street without a mask in mexico, there's some city right now a couple of them
Yeah, that they just stated we're just going to shoot you dude
I was reading the story the other day about in china and this is what this is the like the scary thing
There are 21 million less cell phone users since this like virus broke out and stuff. So I mean, I think they
like there's there's 21 million less
cell phone users that were
For no reason just like during the vibe that just dropped off like this does
I mean, that's how they were starting to think about the numbers and they said these are lying about them like that
They know all that shit. They're like they there's a like 21 million less cell phone users all this
We're all talking because we take it seriously
Like did you see that what happened yesterday in orange county at the beach like 40,000 people were at newport beach
Like that's why it's gonna come back because a lot of people just aren't taking it seriously
They listen, I'm not mad at those people
There's most people that drive by and they see a line and they'll pull over and stand on that line
To give them comfort or warmth, you know the reason why you can't go to a park and walk around
No whole park because eventually
Three people will walk up on you doesn't mean they're bad people
It's our natural
Thing to be close to yeah, and be social. We're social social social distancing
Is gonna work if you make it work
If you lay your line and tell people oh
Stop right there. Yeah
Did you see the thing I posted the other day about the liquor store in the Bronx?
Yeah, that's my mentality. What's it my mentality is basically
This is one of the funniest things I've ever read. I hope
Oh, so was it a note hanging on the door? Yeah, if you cough you're dead you get the
Did you see that? Yeah. Yeah, I saw that that's my state of mind. I'm with you my state of mind is basically
Here it is plain and fucking simple
If you fucking
If you're gonna be that fucking stupid
Because I love I love exactly what he said he said the exact
Words I would write in front of my fucking business
I don't know where the fuck it is
No titty money
No, no sock money. No sock money
I can't find it now. I'll put it doesn't matter, but that's the exact way I feel
Yeah, don't be pulling shit out of your sock. Don't be pulling out of your breasts
He set a line in there
That was so brilliant. And this is the one what it what he says
Shut the fuck up
Oh
Shut the fuck up
Don't
Shut the fuck up. The reason why I do or remove I do early
Is because I want to do the percentages of people that have been in that place. Yeah
So I try to cut it real early like I go to wargreens at 8 15
I went to the super my super market opens 6 a.m. I'm the first guy in line
Ralph's on the corner of uh
You're gonna die there. Don't go to Ralph. Go to Billy Donald's market. Oh, yeah, look at that
Shut the fuck up buy your shit and leave immediately
No titty or sock money
Stand back at least six feet player
Store capacity to five motherfuckers at once you cough you die drink responsibly
And it's true that's it. Don't come in here with questions. Yeah, you know, is that you know, we got no lice off
Why are you asking?
There's a fucking 141. What's that? Why you said that why you go to what's a lot of
Valley village it's just a small one. It's like a little but
Yeah, there's a little M&M market right by the corner right there on more parking that that's the one I go to
Somebody turn me up to a place for meat the other day real how I went in there not a soul in there
My wife made a steak last night tasting like fucking god's
Personal fucking beef. Oh, yeah, dude that M&M marketing. There's little places over there. Oh, handy handy a little M&M market
Yeah, he got the chicken marinated already the sausage is fresh. It's great
So she was what do you say? I mean, this is
We've gone through two huge
Fucking explosions at the company store
The explosion of that you witnesses a young man. Yeah, and the explosion that you're a part of now
How long till we get it back to that
I
Think first of all, they're only opening up one room
Yeah, well slowly
They'll get back but it's gonna it's gonna take months. I think it's gonna take a lot of comics out of the business
Yeah, I think yeah, I think a lot of comics are gonna rearrange their lives and go, you know, this is where I was at
I've done this for 18 years
My wife is you know, yeah, I mean and I feel bad for people but at the same time
I've always said that everybody's gonna get their own personal silver lining out of this
I know for a fact. Yeah, but I I know guys over the years Joey did like guys that they got married. They had kids
and I just said
Effort, I'm not I'm not I'm gonna my kids are more important. My family's more important
So, you know, I don't want to be fucking away from my kids
I guess started the coach in the football team. So we got out of comedy all the people do
You're right. I think people will hit like to go, you know what fucking life's too short
If I ain't doing something I love to do if I ain't doing something to feed my soul
Then why do it? I think also
I think other people I think other people that do nine to five jobs are gonna go, you know
Yeah, I'm some say and they may go into something
Artistic or it's gonna go both ways. I think if if you've taken some time to reflect over this period
You know, what am I doing? I'm gonna work for fucking, you know, 30 years and then I got 10 years before I die and
I'm gonna go live my life. I mean if anything
Go do something that feeds your fucking soul. I don't tell look
Listen, look, I'd rather fail doing something I love to do
Then succeed at something I fucking do that I hate it
Then I gotta win every day hate my fucking life
And I gotta tell you Joey if all this ended tomorrow between me and you
I've had the most amazing life me too. I've hung I've traveled the world. I've seen I've made people laugh
I've had the greatest fucking time
I had a great fucking run and if I gotta figure out something to do after this I will but I mean
I have to tell you, uh
I think it will come back. I think it will eventually get back to where it was but
You're right. It's gonna change some things and things gonna have to come different
I do I think it's gonna come raging back eventually it will get back to where it is before this happened
But it's gonna be months. I mean people just want to feel safe, you know
I mean, you know, you got a metal detectors running probably people taking the temperature before they come into the club, you know, I mean
There's gonna be some new safety protocols
How many years have you been doing comedy for?
Jesus like 33 years
I'm pretty safe to say you fucking love it. I told I love it. I fucking I miss
You know, let me tell you something. There's this guys who do this that are that are famous and they do it because
You know, it's the next sideline. I do it because I love to do it
I really do it for a dollar a 10,000 and I've done it for four people and I've done it for 2700
You know, I love to do it. There's nothing that makes me feel the way I feel after I get done killing a crowd
I mean, I'm a true real
Fucking stand-up comic. I mean, I've made every fucking sacrifice of my life for this
And and I've traveled I've been doing it for 33 years and I just
It's still look. I'm not I'm not a bitter prick. I mean, I know a lot of guys
Dude, I fucking love I love when I see you at the store. You're limping
You come in and you look I remember when I first got to the store like I'm trying to do that audio book
yeah, so I'm trying to outline my life is uh
Chapter one at the store and chapter two at the store. Yeah, two different scenarios at the store
When I went into the store the first time I went into the store as a scrub
My eyes opened my mouth shut just learning watching
You know, I fell in love with mitzi. I got to do drugs. I met my wife. Yeah, and then I left one day
And I came back with an audience. Yeah, there's a complete different Jodias and the first Jodias that went in there
Yeah, I went in there a scrub, you know host the doorman
Yeah, I was the doorman in the back door on sunday nights. I drove the van
Me too, you know, this is a runner job. Yeah, the runner job. I remember the first time I met you. Yeah, give it
Call your guy. What are you saying?
I'll never forget going to your house you cooked for me
And there was a monday night football game on the broncos were playing
And I called the whole series dude. He's calling the game. He goes he goes he's gonna run this in
All the way runs it and he goes stupid. I used to call this game. This is what I did, dude
It was the greatest thing
We're drinking some red wine. We're eating some chili. We're watching laying around on the floor like a couple of looking 13 year olds
Watching monday night football
Dude, it was great. It was great. Jimmy was one of my mentors. I listened to what jimmy said
He hooked me up with his manager who's still a dear friend today. He just came to my show in vegas
He had tears in his eyes when he saw me. Yeah, dude. He loves you man. We love each other
We were like a tight. We were we were batman's villains. Yeah, that was the name of our crew
It was like a
Billy Gardell
Johnny Sanchez, I think you know Sanchez
We were he had a group of comedians and and and then he became like this manager and I swear to god, bro
You're right. I don't think
Like that guy I'm I wish I could find a guy like that guy. Yeah, he doesn't exist today
That's what I said to you. I've never had a person in my career like that
Since him. Yeah, did you talk to him in vegas? Yeah, he's come out to see me a couple times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
And he even called me one day and he's like
Are you looking for a manager?
This is about two years ago. And I'm like, I don't really know. He goes
Who's doing work for you up in ca? Let me get the fucking phone. I'm like, no
Because his world is all gone
Yeah, like the people he was doing business with it's like that scene in the sopranos when the the inspector comes to inspect the house
And the carmela's father's like get pudgy waters on the phone
And he goes pudgy retired eight years ago. Yeah, and he's like
That's what getler would come back to. Yeah, it's a different world. His his number one nemesis was
Judy brown. Oh god. Now. Judy brown would take him and throw him off a building
Yeah, he doesn't even compete in that level no more. So I considered him because I loved him as a manager
Yeah, but you're right. I think that's what
Like he would just talk to fucking people. Yeah, he won't give a shit, dude. I think that's like
Hey, well, why can't we I'm gonna do god bless him. That dude got me a pilot and freaking two development deals. So
You're right. I mean, I thought about it too. Well, you're right. His world's different now. It's a different it's a difference
And he was a different type of dude when he managed
When he called you he called you to rip your heart out
Like I still remember being with him in his convertible
One day he picked me up to meet him for lunch. We had a meeting with an agent. Yeah
Over by uh, Highland that old disgusting building on Highland as you made the turn up to the 101 now
It's like fucking beautiful
There was a building there with bums hung out across the street. They saw a horn
And I still remember he took me to see that later. He told me right out. He was listen
I set your tape everywhere at that time. CAA wanted me when I was with
He's like, this is the weirdest thing. I can't keep him calls from a guy that's CAA for you
But the holidays passed and he switched agents
So I was fucked. So I still remember one day
Jeff picking me up
meeting him like on hollywood
And he drove me to this ladies
And they were called the daniel hoff agency. Yeah, and the word on the street was the lady had quit like
You know CAA or whatever at that time. Yeah and took her
Roster to this agent and nobody knew about it. She was doing great things. Yeah, and I remember I know I know the agency
Yeah, I remember hearing that agency. I remember walking in with him going. I'm not silent with these people
This was an old crickety building
Yeah, nobody offered you water. Yeah
They had like three that's old hollywood, dude. That's old hollywood, bro
And you could hear her in there yelling. Fuck you
Get in the audition and don't call me back click
Who's next? I remember walking in there with jeff and going jeff. I don't want to sign with this lady because this is your only option
Dude, you tell that out. You know what getland did bro. This is a true story. I was doing a road gig
I'm flying in. I got I got a freaking audition
It was for one hour photo that soccer
I was playing a soccer coach for with rob Williams
Is in the movie
He picks me up
At the airport. I throw my bags in his car. He drives me
to the audition
I go in I fucking I did a great audition
If I could I wound up getting a fucking job
And then he fucking dropped me off at home. I mean that what where do you get a fucking manager like that?
In hollywood the guy picked me up at the fucking airport and drove me
To the audition
I defy
Any fucking manager in the industry today?
I mean that's fucking a manager. I did he picked me up
You want to fucking sit there tell me I need more fucking twitter followers. Go fuck yourself
I mean this guy picked me up the airport. It was a different one. I was I learned so much from him that was all bullshit
Like the headshot theory
She despite yeah, he you just call you up. You know the auditions. He got me with no headshot
He's a different dude. He was a different dude and that's why he couldn't last because
The the last conversation I had him I heard with him one time on the phone
It was not pleasant
But I still remember going to meet like you have to meet him once a month at his office
Yeah
And go over stuff with him and I still remember hey there because you had a park in century city mall
Yeah, and walk and cross and then you had to climb fucking
18 floors up that you know that that girl that answered the phone still works in that office
Is that funny? That's his father's insurance office. So he shared his father's insurance office with him
Yeah, when we did break up though, it's like the same thing he said to you about the end goes
I go Jeff can just get me
He goes shoot me. I called everybody. I said everybody
He goes I called everybody and nobody wants to be in the jimmy schuber business
And I was like
He got fucking balls, bro. At least try to sugarcoat a little bit
Yeah, he didn't play he goes I got everybody said nobody wants to be in the jimmy schuber
He goes fucking nobody and I was like, you know what Jeff? I go, maybe
They don't want to be in the jeff getland business
And I was nothing to do with me. Maybe and towards the end. He was like, yeah, because he would you know
He would call you and go hi lee. How you doing?
Uh, and you're like, who's this? This is jeff getland. You don't know who I am
I'm a manager a comedy manager. I've been watching your show on this was the most brilliant thing he ever did in front of me
Yeah, he's like, I've been watching your show on cbs and I can tell the numbers are going down
Can you imagine getting that call from somebody telling you that?
I was there. I was in the office and he would go your your radians are going down
I watched six episodes of your show. You got that fucking dead beat
Like he would just talk like that
You got that dead beat jimmy schuber in there. Have you you know, lee sciatis?
Lee sciatis one of the funniest comics working tonight
As a matter of fact, I think you should write them into your show
Lee's doing a showcase to that a 45 at the improv
I suggest you go because if not your show's gonna keep tacking
And you're gonna lose. I mean lee like that
Yeah, and it will work. Sometimes you work. Yeah, sometimes it was sometimes it didn't sometimes it didn't
He got me auditions with rona crest
He got me auditions with people at that time
That most people could work 10 years and not get auditions with
Well, I got because he would like that fucking that's why I don't listen to anything
Why do you think I don't listen to anything?
There was a time that guy had me doing three
Four auditions a day a day a bad like like dude, you had to like I felt like boretta
The trunk of my car. I had a you know, I could put a wig a suit coat change
You look like boretta everything it didn't I mean, you know never ended and it was never like that again
I mean there was never I mean I mean he left. He took me to aquapucco to tell me
Yeah, he took me to aquapucco on lasienica. Yeah when they were down the block from the strip club
And he bought me lunch and he was I just want to tell you I'm quitting the mountain management business
Yeah, I'm going to vegas. There's a roll for you in it. If you want it
Yeah, I'll put you on the billboard and I was like, I don't want but it only paid $50 a show
Yeah, you have to do like 18 shows a week and I was like, that's not how when will I do stand-up?
He does what you could do stand-up on mondays and tuesdays
I was like, I don't want to do it and we stayed friends
But his work ethic always stayed with me
And whenever people would call me and say I need new head shots. Fuck you
Sell the fucking pictures that you got and when we sell a job, then we'll get new head shots
Yeah, and that would be the end of it and it was because of gallant all the lessons I learned to even today
I think gallant would be a little too heavy for today's
Comedy thing. Yeah, he would have burned because if he would have had six people
He would have thought netflix to go fuck me. So yeah, and I think you I think he even back then
I think he rubbed people the wrong way like he said, you know, there's like I thought he was a sweetheart
I always thought he was the sweetest man in the world
But when he got down, he was one of those desert jews when he rolled the sleeves dog
You were going you were going and listen, I did great
He booked me in basketball. Remember I was in your house
The night before I shot the scene
We drank a gallon of red wine and we did a lot of other things
And I remember slipping in bed with my girlfriend and also she's like, oh my god, we gotta get up
I have to drive you to the coliseum
She thought I had slept all night. I was up all night. Oh, no
I get to the coliseum and they're like mr. Diaz. You're the first scene up
I'm like, I've been coming here for three fucking weeks. Nobody's talked to me
I do 10 eight balls and drink a gallon of red wine. Now. I'm the first fucking scene up
I stunk like fucking dick. I look like dick when you see baseball
And you see me in that scene. I was up the whole night before
Snorting up fucking dust and dude, I felt so bad for you because you're gonna
Oh, he's gonna go work on a set because I kept telling you one more hour
Yeah, one more line than I'll leave. No, but you but the funny thing is it's like usually you go to a set
And you got like four or five hours before they even need you you go lay down in your trailer, but
You're the first scene up bro. You're the first scene. Oh, I basically went home to take a shower
Eat something. No, I didn't even eat nothing. I drank like a beer making myself come down
And I got in my girlfriend's car. She drove me to the coliseum
And I got there and I had to do that whole scene fucking not now. I still remember them going step on the mark
Mr. Diaz, can you please go to the mark and I'm like I am at the mark and they're like no
And finally thank God some sweet assistant came on. She's like, no
They want you over here
And by the time I had a shoot there was no more roller skates left because I had stole all the roller skates
So in that scene I'm supposed to have roller skates on none of us have roller skates on
Because I couldn't roller skate
When they when I got the job they asked me if I could roller skate
Before I get a job, I'll tell you whatever you want to hear
I
Are you can you do trapeze act? Yeah, we'll figure it out when we get there, right?
If not, why is somebody else I fucked up. It's the truth
It's the fucking truth
You do you tell them whatever you need. Can you do a swan dive? Yeah, I could do a swan dive
Okay
The day of the shoot because at the end it's like when sons of anarchy called joint
They said you have to ride a motorcycle
So
You know how many people went in there and said you ride a motorcycle?
Yeah, and then shoot came the day and they're like
I never rode a motorcycle so they put you on the scooter
And they pull you and they put the camera high on you. Yeah, and you think they think you're driving. You're not driving
Yeah, so that's you're in a puller. They're just pulling you
And they and you're like
Like making believe that's a scooter that's pulling you you don't need to learn how to ride a motorcycle
I'm sure that after the first season
Jack's teller and some of the regulars picked up effects paid for them to get lessons just to
Do whatever but when you take a job
9 out of 10
You lie to get that job. I just read an article on yahoo christmope the santi
Did you read that in the sopranos? No never drove a car
When he got the job at the pilot
He got a job. It was he was going to be toni's driver
Right
He never said nothing to him that he couldn't drive
So when you're watching the soprano private pilot and he's driving
Did you call that guy yesterday and fucking?
Tell him that you were supposed to pick him up and he's like no
My mother said I shouldn't even have come to work for that because I was sick
And all that shit
He didn't know how to drive he ended up banging up the car and he goes i'm done
I look he looked over at james gandalfini james gandalfini was laughing
And that was what happened. That's why I don't I tell people all the time tell them whatever they need to hear
Dude, remember that fucking sign language guy that got next to barack obama door to nelson-mandela thing
Yeah, and the guy's like six feet from love mama. He's doing the fucking sign language thing
And people watching this going saying the same fucking thing over and over like he only had
three fucking moves the guy was like a
You know, he's just fucking

Have you guys done shows with them on stage? Who sign language?
No, no, no, but they do they do
Colleges and stuff. Yeah, they don't I gotta tell you something, bro
I'm actually I was going to take an online course
It's another hard to become a sign language interpreter because you know
In the middle of a fucking pandemic you're gonna work
You know, they said they got fucking they got people at the city level draw up to see where you can sign up the sign language
I took two semesters of in college. Did you really? Yeah, it was because I'm terrible at languages
But it's just english so you're learning you're just learning I can still spell I don't remember any of the words
Yeah, because those motherfuckers are killing it right now, bro. Yeah, that's your new job
Well, you could you go if you could fucking do that
I mean, you know, you got guys at the federal level that they make pretty good fucking dough, man
And they're always gonna need those how you've noticed I have my favorite interpreters now
Isn't that funny? I've never seen qualmos interpreter
But sorry caddy's got the skinny guy that looks like poorly kelp those the kid I grew up with
And then the chick from the whatever in LA the lady with the stringy hair. She was like Harry's mother
Yeah, she looks like fucking but you see them all and they all do the same
Like you said, you got your favorite ones to do it. Yeah, I got my favorite ones
I don't even know what the fuck they're saying
But it's just interesting watching them and who the hell, you know
Sometimes it's even a little distracting because you're not watching a guy you're watching this
No, I always do watch the sign language and I listen to the other lady
You know, I had wanted a show because I was doing a benefit and they had one
And I was throwing in words like leather cheerio just to see what the fuck she would make up for
I would say and then I stuck it in a balloon knot
Sign language I'm coming up with the dirtiest fucking and I said sausage while
Jimmy shoes is crazy that you've been doing this 33 years man. You've seen it all
Would would would this bother you if this ended our careers
And like I said joey man, I look I'd have to figure something out, but I will tell you
That uh, you still part of the magic house. Yeah. Yeah, I still do the magic
I do that set up my whole dining room like I have this bar
And I moved it away from the wall and I put my dining room table out and I set up a little
Kind of like theater so I could work on some shit keeps me from fucking going crazy
It gets crazy how I first time I went to the house at the wood doing the santeria ritual
I seen the two pigeons in the cage. I'm like, I didn't know Jimmy
I thought we're gonna cut some chicken heads off and make some fucking
Book some rolls and shit. Yeah, but then you told me you were magician and I was blown away
You have your own pigeons. Do you know I used to years
I didn't let it go into my mind that jimmy shoe was a magician
I love I love seeing them because I would have stabbed them. I'm not big. I'm magician. No, I'm not
I felt bad about it. It was like my dirty little secret. I didn't want to tell people
It was one of the greatest
Greatest stories I ever heard and it sounded a lot like dice
That you started as a magician and I started as a Travolta impersonator
You know you look at that and how
You started as a magician. You told me your dad would take you down there. You'd have the cape when you were 14
Yeah, I do shows for the children's hospital 14
That's why I fell in love with fucking performing because you got a six kids these sick kids were down there
And then all these african-american nurses would go you got to come to our church
And so I would do these fucking west filled up your fucking churches
They were like my dad's drive me down there with them
Like he said that the oversized tuxedo and he's got nine millimeter on we drop off at the back door and go into the church and do shows
But you know Carson was a big fucking Johnny Carson
They have a thing over there like a whole tribute thing to Johnny Carson, but it's I like it man
It's just something else to do. It's like somebody playing the drums or guitar for me
It's just something that keeps me sane if I get to work on something besides fucking is doc up there
Doc who the magician up at the magic castle because I know you got into the magic castle
Yeah, yeah the magic castle. Yeah, the doc Easton is a guy up there that works, but this but you talk to him
Yeah, what's the while telling your friends?
All right, he hates me why?
Why'd you
I mean I got 200 people that hate me. He's gotta be in the top three. Whoa. Really? Yeah
Why because he was a magician at the at the tower restaurant
In aspen, colorado in 1983 the tower was off
The tower was on does he talk about it? No, but I know doc Easton is a guy that fucking was a denver fucking major
He's like one of these guys. He's one of the greatest bar magicians ever. So
Doc Easton worked at the tower as a magician during winter season and what his angle was
Was he take a playing card and then he go up to a tourist and go
Put an amount of money there
I'm gonna put a thumbtack under it and there's a read a rotating fan
If I could throw it up and stick it in the ceiling I keep the 20
If it comes down, I'd give you your 20 back plus whatever $20
So every night doc could be out there doing card tricks. I'd be in the back dishwashing
I was a dishwasher a friend of mine knew I lifted weights and hit the bag
So he goes work with us on prime rib night. You can eat all the prime rib you want. I'll give you all the mistakes
That's how I started working at as a that was 18 right and that's going on
When I'm down Tuesday nights and we do a couple bumps of coke and and then when I'd have to bring
Glasses out to the bar. I'd watch this doc guy
And he'd be doing this to people all these white people giving 50s and 100s trying to show up
When Texans came up they go up then
Do it let's do it for 200 man
And he would put 200 dollar bills squish them into the thumbtack
Put the ace of spades over the nine of hearts or whatever number
And he'd do something and it'd stick on the ceiling
Ah, god damn it. So one night
After work, you know, I'm stocking the bar and I look over and I go
I bet I could jump up there and take that on a bill off the fucking ceiling
So
I went to the back of the kitchen made sure everybody was doing that thing and I went out there made
Like I was putting the bar stools up
And I just jumped up and I put down a 50
I said fucking why leave stop there
So every night I would pull down like 150 200 bucks. Nobody knows
Not even that fucking much
This went on for about three weeks. I was just pulling down 200 a night
180 and I'd take a bag of shrimp home
I'd go in the closet in the freeze and just take a bag of shrimp
I go home about 12 30 my roommate would get up and make garlic shrimp or pasta
Jimmy Burkle got arrested. So I never told I never even thought
About the fucking money off the walls like if you leave money on the wall, you're a jerk off
You deserve to get stolen
But he wanted to wait till the end of the season to take it down
And have this big rush for the whatever. I must have docked him for a couple grand
And
One day I told the story on a podcast and about a week later
I got an email from like a representative or something. Fuck you
We knew we didn't know who was robbing us. They thought it was a different dishwasher
After 30 and they just put together that I was the the criminal up there in 1983
I had destroyed that whole system. I'm not proud of it, but it happened. I gotta tell you before somebody else tells you
And uh, so somebody came to me about a year ago
At the store and was like, man, I went up to the comedy cast when I mentioned your name
Oh, did I get any of the
Love so next time you see him go up to a real casual
And then just drop Joey Diaz sends his love and watch it that motherfucker's gonna say
Oh, that's it. Yes, you know, our boy Zach wall man. He works. He doesn't any bravo stick that up
But he's also he works up there. I did it shows him at frappers. Yeah. Yeah, he works
He does uh, he works up there all the time regular baseman. That's so funny. You'd love to hear that story about doggies
You know me dog. I taught you everybody at one time. No, I don't do this
But hey, you know what we're different people now. We've grown. We've had no that was 1983
Listen, it wasn't just it wasn't just me then I turned everybody else on there
Yeah, the Mexican little dishwashers were like fuck him too. They were each clipping but by the end of fucking march
It was nothing left. I think I left I started working there November 15th
And I left February 1st and I think the last week was the week I got him even heavier
That they started noticing. Hmm. Something's going on with the money up here
In three months, you can't hold the money
Oh, I probably I probably got him for a couple grand
I can't wait to see him up there because I do see him up there once in a while to go to Friday
He's gotta be 70. No. Hey, man. Listen that guy. He's gotta be if I'm if I was 18
He probably was 26
Yeah, he's he's he's he's he looks good for his age, but you're right. He's probably about 70
He's probably like the 60s early 70s. It's crazy. I was friends with him
and another great friend of yours
uh
Joe DeLion
Joe DeLion another great magicians of the world. I saw that guy where when I was 16 years old
Oh, I thought recently no, I've I've seen he's down in st.p. He's down in florida
But I saw Joe DeLion
when I was a kid
And I'm fucking telling you it was one of the best fucking shows
He's sword swallowed. He did fucking mind reading. I mean he was like that guy was like college entertainer of the year
Like three or four years running. I mean he was
Joe DeLion was a fucking monster, dude
I watched that guy and then
I got to work with him many years later at the penny arcade in jersey
with ben creed
Me and Joe DeLion
Was there he booked it. I sat with Joe and I talked to him. I told him about that thing
What a great guy. What a great guy. No, he was a great where was ben creed

screwed for a year
That cruise ship industry ain't coming back anytime soon

but it took away
And now the country's starting to see it that
Unless you're a fucking idiot. Netflix is great
And the comics on Netflix are great, but I don't want you just to rely on them
There's a whole herd of comedians
That Netflix won't do business with for whatever reasons they have
