Starting point is 00:07:14 Turn off your TV, run for your lives. It's over. They can put you on this planet just to get up. If Uncle Joey could do it, I could fucking rule the world. I think you gotta be thinking What's happening brother? Oh, my God. I'm so high. I thought that you were calling me again. That phone call at the beginning is my fair.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I'm so happy that we were called, got that recorded because that, first of all, you handled that a lot better than I thought you would. Like, patience starts to my son. I'm not so like confused as a chick. But after a while, you're like, well, I get mad at this computer. I used to get mad at the computer, Jack. When I first started, it was living hell. And now they try to trick me again with the doctors
Starting point is 00:08:19 that make it do appointments online. They want you to check it online. And when you just, they all didn't make me sign a appointments online. You can want you to check it online. And when you just, the other day, they made me sign a contract online. I had a fucking drink coffee told two in the morning trying to forget that one. What do you mean, like, Doc, you signed a click? It says click here.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, come on, guy. What do you think? I don't know, not to. What do you get pissed off at like parking garages where you have to pay with your credit card at the machine when you're leaving? You know, I see if you could pay in the car on the way out and I'd rather do that because once you're in the line, they can't mess with you. I put 24 to reek and cause behind me.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I need the Indian come see sees that. Yeah, you're worried about nothing else. Indian come see sees that yeah you're worried about nothing else. Oh my God. One of the angriest you got. Do you remember when we filmed the documentary? Yes. And so you gave me banana, it was like four in the morning, you gave me banana bread and you got lost, driving the JFK. I'm going to JFK, oh my God. I remember one of the elections and the guys like, you got to buy a sandwich. And I bought like a bagel.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I was two days old, but we ate it, though. We were fucked up as a can of worms. Oh, what about how we pulled you out of Times Square like those Hamas and pulling Jews out of music festival those poor people I'm gonna say a prep for them tonight. I've been praying me shit because this is It's fucking surreal. I don't want to you know cause a holy war here, but all I always Get ready to rock and roll little boys. We got the call. The big Jew called over to the little Jews and told them take the money out of the fucking banks and the fucking what's the most important
Starting point is 00:10:13 thing? The box they put in the thing. I have no idea what box you talk about. The box of box. How do I talk about Jewish thing? Most Jews don't know about say they make believe but they all got one of them and one of their uncles name and they got one of Israel tack free, you know, so. I don't know how we put it in the bank though we put it in the floorboards. We in the floorboard under the Yashiva, you know, we signed something. We tied something. It's good to see you buddy comedy was light last week. I did a show In Connecticut and I I got high by having gotten high before a show and a little bit and it was fun. I I don't do crowd work But there was this I like one like there's a woman like not heckling
Starting point is 00:11:04 but this woman and I were like going back and forth. And it was just it was a lot of it was a lot of fun. The like DTF comedy or something they filmed it they're going to put out some clips. So you might have some clips of me now, but I was really it was really fun. I got to see I told you guys last week I got to see sign fell told you guys last week, I got to see Seinfeld on Saturday. And how was that? Very interesting. Because, you know, I mean, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:11:34 it's like levels of community it's objective, but I would say he's like top 10 most influential standups. However, I would say, I would say top 10 is a pretty fair and it was just cool to think about he's 69 years old with hundreds of millions of dollars. And I have seen other like quote unquote famous comedians who are older and they kind of phone it in and it seems like they're doing jokes that they did in the 80s. And he like was not doing that. I'm sure he threw a couple old jokes in there. But and it was it was something that I think you probably deal with and I can understand as a comic and we get frustrating, but people were just so excited to see him.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I mean, you could just feel it in the audience, that like, just the fact that they were in the same room as him was very exciting for a lot of people. You're a young guy, but I know you know this. Seinfeld went on a tag, and I was dead of watchin' all, as a comic, you know. And when the show came on the first season, I was fortunate like you to go see him into my comedy, you know, 92.
Starting point is 00:13:01 You know, I want to see him early with a friend. She invited me, and she goes, I know you're a comedian, you're, I want to see him early with a friend. She invited me and she goes, I know you're a comedian, you're up and coming. I got tickets to Seinfeld and it was on a date. She was my friend. I knew a boyfriend. He was she bought him, but he had a work. Okay. And then he goes, yeah, take Joey. He's a comic. And I was blown the fuck away. What I saw. His jokes were very precision. I love his Rodney special. The fucking show over the years has been great.
Starting point is 00:13:33 He toured with Tom Papa, which you thought he'd be opening which I fucking love Tom. I was hoping he'd be opening, yeah. The guy who opened for him, that was actually something that I haven't done in a while. Because that's my, the guy did like 15 minutes, but I haven't been like an audience member in a while.
Starting point is 00:13:56 And something that I don't think I'm doing, I've been doing well. But like, I feel like I should do more of like, even if I'm not hosting, like welcoming people. As opposed to just going into straight jokes, he didn't really do this, but like to me, it was just like, if you're there to see someone, like let's like get him in as like, you know, like welcoming like friends almost. Well, I did Jay Khalid to jump around in the beginning. Why you bothering me for? Listen, whenever you have a situation as a feature actor and an opener,
Starting point is 00:14:36 you read the goddamn room, guys. You read the goddamn room, but I'm not welcoming. If I want to be welcomed, I'm going to be welcomed to committee. When you're walking to a state, you know, the Kentucky welcome in committee, you go and they got a picture of Jack Daniels, whatever the fuck they doing Kentucky, a little runaway Chinese people. I don't know. I don't fucking know.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And you every audience is different. Every room is different. I will tell you what, I will give you guys great advice. I had opportunities from 94 to, you know, et cetera, et cetera, opening up for big acts, you know. And when I got to LA for the first two years, I was opening up like Paul Rodriguez on the weekends or the Latin King is a comedy, you know, and whatever, whatever the fuck I was doing up in Modesto to keep the lights on. And in those things when you go as an open and brother, you go out there really excited, you might die. You go up there jumping up and down,
Starting point is 00:15:43 you got to capture them Lee. You're the first guy going out there. Unless you got a plan and you're like, welcome to whatever we're here to see Jerry's sign filled tonight. And they clap and right there you fucking jumping there as all right, you all know Jerry's coming out. Let me tell you a little bit about me Cox. I can bam and now you run one of them for 15 minutes. You say, good night, you go on the back, you watch Jerry from the side. Nobody knows who you are, so it'll let you sit there.
Starting point is 00:16:12 And nobody will come up, the uninterrupted here. You can watch. One of the best things about comedy is doing it is great. But watching it at the level where you wanna be is fucking, you go home and it's like your head blows up. Yeah, every comic will tell you a story of who they went to see and knew right from there from what they felt. Some of it was funny, some of it, but a lot of it is emotional and then the back of it is the, I don't know
Starting point is 00:16:46 how to what word to say. I don't know. And, you know, I'm not a narcissistic. We all go, you know, what? I'm funny in that motherfucker. And you went to the fourth wall. Right. When I first went to an open mic at the comedy worst, I did it sitting at home, watching MTV comedy hour. Evening at the improv going, you know what? I'm not pointing those three guys, but that first guy that went up, I'll take his ass to the hoop. And that was me just being a car salesman, being a fan of comedy from this side.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And it was just cool for all I could keep thinking about was like sign felt at some point did open mics. At some point and he talked about it at the beginning that he did the Chinese restaurant as that a boss and all the small clubs he did. that he did the Chinese restaurant, outside a boss, and all the small clubs he did, not that I think I'll even ever be a tenth of his popularity. But just the fact that he did literally the exact same gigs that I'm doing right now,
Starting point is 00:17:57 he did it at one point. I've always thought that the coolest thing about comedy sometimes is where the situation is that when I can't lie to you when I used to get this newspaper from Sam Francisco when I was at your level and I was fucking read it and study it and there was a I forgot the name it doesn't matter but it was like a week just for laughs it was a weekly publication. And they would have the names of different places, you know? And what loisier those places is like the name.
Starting point is 00:18:35 It's so fucking cool, you know? I forgot what my point was. Those edibles have been kicking in for the last 20 minutes. Just that you can do it. Like you can imagine yourself there. Yes. You see yourself there and it's just parts where, I don't know, you get sight to play more than others. But I don't even know what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:18:56 I'm sorry, Doug. Yeah. I'm a whistle-fuck-suckers. I can't whistle. I should have left my, I should have left my whistle out of the truck. I've been rocking motherfuckers. Oh, did you have to charge that thing? What's that?
Starting point is 00:19:12 Did you have to charge that thing? No, I don't know even know what for the ends. I was like one of those Russian whistles, you know, the ones that give to your crates. I don't know. I don't know. I love it. No, you know, the ones that give to your cranes, I don't know. I don't know. I love it. No, it was. The thing about you is that you're always busy
Starting point is 00:19:31 in the weekends. I remember there was a time in my life where I was separated and all I wanted to do was fucking comedy. And if I got comedy on Friday, Saturday, it did something. It gave me another week into life. Like I was like, all right, there's hope.
Starting point is 00:19:48 And I would eat a bag of dicks, you know, but at least there's a little bit of hope. I have a question for you. Okay. How does it feel like right now at this level when you don't have work on a Friday and Saturday? Kills me. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:20:05 All right, then you're onto the right fucking game, man. I feel like a bum. I can't, I can't, and I'm getting over it. Like today I sent a couple of emails out about like, which is my availability, but I feel like I'm bothering people, and I have to get over that. And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I get over that.
Starting point is 00:20:22 People have been sending me clips that I have, and I don't like any of them. And I'm sure that if I send them to a book or I'd be fine, but I just don't want to send that out. But it fucking, I feel like I feel like I have a shit in my pants when I don't have a weekend. You're rubbing on your head and pray for the best, but. I've done that before.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I'm going to say something right now at this level, or at any comic that's watching this, you know, like when you live in Atlanta. The Atlanta's got a bunch of comedy. I don't know. Maybe a town like, you know, Schenectady, I don't know what they have up there. I'm just saying Schenectady.
Starting point is 00:21:03 But you're like, dream of going to this fucking club. I want you to do something. Send them a package. I don't care if they're ready. If you're ready, I don't I don't wait. You know when you're ready. If you hear if you're doing open mic and Chicago and some guy goes with you here a lot. Hey man, there's a guy in Seattle. It's gonna open up a club. He's looking for packages. Send them a fucking thing. You're a feature act. You get there on a bicycle. I don't give a fuck. There was a time where whatever your gig was on Friday Saturday. But at the time I got to Thursday, I think, have the price. I would just call you like what's going on
Starting point is 00:21:43 over there tomorrow. Joey, we just hit two weeks ago. I know. But what's the story? I need to work, you know, you're looking to work, but in reality, you're not even looking for the money, you're looking for the state's time. And that's a great fucking attitude. It would kill you on the weekends. Like you don't even know and there's women as a party, there's a wedding. And you're like, I don't want to go because I know if I commit to women, there's a party, there's a wedding, and you're like, I don't wanna go, because I know if I commit to that, I might do a comedy show at a coffee shop.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And that means more of me than jumping up and down with a bunch of fucking lunatics out of wedding. Oh yeah, I'm not getting invited to, but it just, and then I see, like you're saying earlier, like I'm funny than that person, I see people who are very nice and they're very funny, but I see that they have a show that we again and I get pissed. And here's the beauty of it from like five year to the eight year mark. You start analyzing every move you do. It's a very, you have to have a very addictive personality. When comics say, you know, people say comics
Starting point is 00:22:48 have, listen, they have a lot of issues. Addiction was my issue, right? But part of that addiction was, feel like if you know that punch, I still remember delivering domino pizza on Saturday night to punish myself. Like I made myself one of those, whenever you have a four hours come into deliver guy, I knew the guy. And it was great. Yeah, and dog, it was great money.
Starting point is 00:23:16 I would deliver some coke, deliver some pizza. You know, Uncle Joey, I'm not stupid. I ain't afraid of. I need delivered Chinese food, but I would of. I need to deliver Chinese food. I would deliver fucking pizza in Boulder till 2 a.m. Till they got really crazy. Like I knew I was going to get mugged or whatever. I would drink coffee or something.
Starting point is 00:23:37 I would drink in those days. I was drinking Mountain Dew with fucking snooze. Whatever those things to stay awake because I was doing triple runs and shit no does no does but I still remember living in Boulder and at one of the open mice some guy goes is a comedy company, they got like four comedy clubs. And if you send them tapes, I call them. I sent them like a fucking tape. Not Lee, it's percentages. If you get opportunities to send a tape to Moscow, send it. Because that's just a number. If they call, then that's your choice.
Starting point is 00:24:20 If you wanna go over there, but you know what I'm saying? You know, I don't know if I like New Orleans. Sender tape. You never know where that guy might send you. Yep. I might like your tape and go, you know what? You're not good for me here. But my buddy has a restaurant in New Mexico. You do two shows.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Or you could eat 50 bucks and you're sleeping in the back room. And also, you're like, you know what, I need some green chili in my life. That's my homework this week is I have to send out 10, 10 emails. I can find 10 emails. 10 emails on Monday mornings at 9 a.m. You program them. So 9 a.m. They get them. They're going to disregard them.
Starting point is 00:25:03 But guess what? You're going to send them the following week at 9 a.m. they get them. They're going to disregard them. But guess what? You're going to send them the following week at fucking 9 a.m. And so on and so on and so on. And all of a sudden you're sending 10 emails, 12 emails, 13 emails, the percentages in your corner. So just keep doing that. Monday 9 a.m. When I started comedy national booking day was Tuesdays.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Really? Yeah, Tuesday was the day you bothered the bookers, they communicate with you from 12 to four, you know, in that particular city, like if you wanted to work Cleveland, thought I wasn't ready, but I would just call people in torture and introduce myself. How are you? ready, but I would just call people and torture him and introduce myself. How are you?
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yes. Someday I'm gonna be a fucking savage. But right now I got eight minutes with a bed, with a bed too. You know what I'm saying? I love it. You know, and I'm so, as jealous as I can get, I'm so happy for one of our good friends.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I spent like an hour with Eric on the phone this weekend because he got passed as a door guy at the comedy store. Oh my God, I spoke to him and I was very happy and I'm gonna tell you something. Just to be honest, I'm the upstein. I told Eric I was gonna call her because she likes him. I know she likes Jen who's's I miss him more than you know
Starting point is 00:26:26 I'm saying like there's some people Jen is tremendous and I got her number but I just felt you know what I'm saying she's she works a lot at the store but it's not the caller on the cell and I'm sure I got high, I forgot to call Jen. He got this on his own. He got this because I did a show with him as an opener and he, she saw him. He left him and then told him to keep coming back. This is good for him because Eric is not only a comedian with a great future like yourself, but he's a historian. He likes film, he likes stand up, old stand up, he knows
Starting point is 00:27:15 prior, he knows when he told me his admiration for Paul Mooney, I knew he had a chance because he understood that both gay men so he understood totally. Let me tell you my Eric wrote your story. Okay. Ready? Okay. Yeah. So, I have an agent, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:27:37 And then I have a friend who's been at this agency since 2003. He was there when I got Spider-Man 2. He was there when I got like, I don't know who's taxi. I don't know what it was, but he was definitely there for Spider-Man 2. And many other things I booked with him. He had a boss named Nancy and I was her client, but she got to be big, and she gave me to him, and then I started rocking and rolling. Now Nancy wanted me back, but I loved Dave. Yeah, fun, Nancy.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Dave is gay, not very flamboyant, but when you see him, you know, he's a gay man. So my second call when I got to New York was today. That's how comfortable I felt at the time, even though I was petrified of COVID and everything that came with it, because I know always knew Dave had my back. So I called him, he's like, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I do feeder specifically, but if I see something else that made you, and we booked some great stuff together. I mean, we booked some great stuff together. You know, it didn't fucking buy me a car or nothing, but it was, you know, co-star work on law and order, the show with Anne Hathaway and, you know, he's been good. So out of all the fucking people to call me, I see he's called me from his 818 number in L.A. because he used to live in L.A. and how he lives in Jersey. And he goes, Joey, how are you? Hello, he's like, the strike is back. You know, it's over. Now I can submit you. Oh my God. What's been happening?
Starting point is 00:29:20 We talked about the book. We spoke about, by the way, it's got nominated for a fucking Grammy. Congratulations. Audio will win. Who gives a fuck? We got nominated. 10 years ago, it was getting fuck and nominated with felony. Say, anyway.
Starting point is 00:29:39 So we talk for a few minutes and he goes, Joey, can I talk to you about something? I go, what's up? He goes, your name can I talk to you about some? I go, what's up? He goes, your name is on my roster. And a little after the strike, he goes, I didn't even answer the phones, but I kept getting a message from one of our clients. Are you ready? And I go, yeah, he goes, it's the gay men's comedy theater. And they love for you to come in and do a set. And he goes, yeah, he goes, it's the gay men's comedy theater. And they love for you to come in and do a set because and I understand you're a comedian.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Why do they want you so bad? And I go, long story. The man's name is Eric Rocha and he goes, who is that? I go, he says, he's a Hollywood gay guy, but he's a hard dinner. More for the bar that had a tent in there. And, you know, people would fuck each other and you have to guess who it is.
Starting point is 00:30:30 And he goes, oh my God, I've never even gone there. And then we spoke about boys of hoi. And he was like, he was dying. I forgot about boys of hoi. He's like, Joey, I would never consider calling boys of hoi. So he goes, yeah, they, they like you to stop by. I'll get some dates for you and you can swing by. But this is the funniest conversation I've ever had.
Starting point is 00:30:51 He was talking to me. How would they give you that? Anyway, you know, go ahead. Go for it. No, they would. They would love. That's the thing. Like people might think, like, you know, you might not like gay people, you might not like Jews. All like my favorite

Starting point is 00:35:41 Me? Yeah, well, no, well, of course you, I'm not thinking thinking I go to jail, so I don't think about it. And anyway, a fucking matter here. Look, look at this. They have this like they have all these things. This guy is flying fried chicken. In prison. Can you play that? This is in prison. Yeah, no, this is just he's just he had somehow has chicken and he's frying it Like at the stairwell and they have like they have phones and they have them like this is just one video that I found
Starting point is 00:36:14 Like look at that. They just have a fire underneath the pan And it just it kills me every time I like I spent way too much time on Instagram, but It kills me every time I like I spent way too much time on Instagram, but Wait, what's up in time, okay, but Know what's interesting about this man that You always find a way how do you how the fuck do these Cubans get on a raft and decide we're going to America? We're gonna make it What belief do you have, you know? It's the same type of belief. Like it's like, listen, you incarcerated us,
Starting point is 00:36:49 but you can't take away our chicken. Fuck no, and there's other ones, like this one, this guy had like dominoes pizza and like chick-fil-a. You got a low-crugged- 1000 situation, this could be a halfway house. This could be a three-quarter halfway house. I mean, I don't like I said, I haven't read about that stuff in years. You know, I like the legal system.
Starting point is 00:37:11 So I would read about all the changes and legislature and you can't fuck and smoke in there. And, you know, so, but I still remember I was just talking about this guy with somebody about this guy I met in the inside when I was young and he was very quiet. And one day I saw somebody eating something and I go, you make that and he goes, nah, they're doing the number two over there. And I went in there and this guy had nachos
Starting point is 00:37:41 for Monday night football. I was like three dollars because you were allowed out for 20 minutes a day. So on Mondays, he would stock up, and he would have to run over there. He was about 56. So he would give me a couple dollars. I just said, listen, I don't want your money.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Just give me free nachos every Monday. And that's how our relationships started. So on Mondays, the Chinese restaurant was closed. So I wouldn't get Chinese from anyway. I waste my time in the bodega. Because you had 20 minutes to run through the storm back. And left the distance was from the comedy store. Past the hotel to that fucking bar where people bounce on the horse and shit.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Right. Right. The roadside, I don't know what it is. And you had 20 minutes. So it was a three minute run. I was young. And I would run into the fucking bodega you buy stamps, you know, a certain soda you wanted for that night because they let you out every day. You were allowed to have $40 on you, $20 on you, but then I figured out you couldn't hit the Chinese restaurant and the mother fucking bodega. So I used
Starting point is 00:39:06 a go go I went on the phone and called a Chinese restaurant and said, can you have ready by 12.07? Yeah. And I go to a bodega get a soda ice cream, whatever the old man needed and my Chinese food. And that's how we lived it up. And then other guys who get spare ribs. So I would get egg rolls and soup. And you would get spare ribs and pork fried rice. And we'd sit together at night, any like gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:39:35 in the library or in the HIV center. I know that like, to me, anytime I think of a going to prison. It's like scary, but no, no, no, no, shit. I don't give a fuck who you are. You know, you're gonna walk and I'm going in there to get raped. Hello, that goes for your mind. If you don't, if you're not real with it, you know, or these people like, I'm, you know, half those prisons are full of people going, I'm gonna beat this. And they never think about anything.
Starting point is 00:40:10 I was always very honest with myself. So I started lifting as soon as I got bailed out. I knew what time it was. I started eating different. I started fucking riding the bike every day, back and forth. I hit a punching bag every night, I lifted him my garage, I had a dog, which meant I had to walk that fucking mother fuck a couple times a day.
Starting point is 00:40:33 What would you say, like if there's someone listening today and they're like, fuck, I'm going to jail in 90 days, what would you have them do? Pick a book list. So your ass hold up, like put one of those things, you've got to dream of times, we need a fucking key and swallow it, you know what I'm saying? And now nobody gets it because it's not coming out and it ain't going in, you're following me.
Starting point is 00:40:55 But either or you got to give up something. If you don't give up the muff, I'm just teasing anybody. Doug, you just prepare. Keep your mind open.

Oh, I did, you know what I did, but okay on was the sell the basketball preseason, which by the way I I'm so much, I'm, I'm, I know I'm wearing a Patriots hoodie. I'm so, I'm football. When, when you're, when your team isn't good with football, it sucks. But it, I, the, the, the cab was in 49ers, fuck me last night. I know you were. 29ers are too good. I had the under and it was not good. You know, man, I think that this is the craziest season I have ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And I got away. I never, you would never hear me say this in years. But I've heard it so much lately. And yesterday I saw something that looked so fucking obvious. It was pathetic. And I know something always happens with you, and I love the dolphins, you know, I go to a dolphin house. I saw the line was at 12, right? So I fucking, I go, you know what? 12 right so I fucking I go you know what come on Buffalo's gonna beat my Emmy's gonna beat him but you never seen a bookie with a part-time job don't beat him by 10 and everybody fucking goes to bed you know you went on the cover
Starting point is 00:42:58 and they're happy right there was a part in the third quarter with two or three fucking interception. The guys, it was right to the other guy, even the receiver was like, he pulled it right in the fucking guy's hand and when the camera went on and somebody must have said something, he was laughing. I don't know, I just felt really weird. I see the scores. And you know, you open up the morning with Buffalo getting beat up by the jaguars. But you know what? That wasn't this wasn't my week for that shit. I had one pick on Sunday. And it was my fuck Detroit, given nine and a half at home. Nobody ever talks about Detroit.

Starting point is 00:47:17 I come on, I never thought about this day. I've become, I want to do a thousand things, but I don't want to do any of them. You know what I'm saying? Every time I want to do something, my smoke reaper, and the world I realize I don't want to do a thousand things, but I don't want to do any of them. You know what I mean? Every time I want to do something, my smoke reaper, and the real I realize I don't want to do. I realize any word doing it at this point.

Starting point is 00:47:36 That's fucking awesome. I wanted to ask you because it's happened to me. And some of the funny, huh? I do have crabs. All right. But Josh Wolf, and not in a mean way, has been messing with me in hysterical ways at the hotel. Like at two separate hotels at one hotel,
Starting point is 00:47:59 he got me the handicap room. And then at the last one in Omaha, he called up and told them that I'm not violent, but I'm severely autistic. And just to keep smiling. And if I get angry, just keep smiling. And they like, they were so nice to me. When I every time I check, every time I was down there. So I love that that's in my note now at holiday and that I'm severely autistic. I was wondering. Next time you go, Tom, that, you know, fucking machiner with machiner with machiner, it's gonna call over that, the taking name off the list. You got better things to do than be described in a little fucking
Starting point is 00:48:47 retard who can't box. You don't say that. What a boxing coming in this. What's out of no. He's violent. He's non violent. How fucking no. Why bother me with this question?
Starting point is 00:49:02 I don't know. Did anyone ever file like, did anyone ever fuck with, like the only time I remember you. Absolutely, what do you think he got the fucking measured idea from? With the handicap room, you go in the shower, the shower's up to your belly button. You have a floor like your five foot two,
Starting point is 00:49:17 and then you don't wanna call the front because you bang one out and you come on the shower head. And you're like this ain't bad. This goes directly into the sink here, then you splash your face and nobody knows. I can still hold my pants. Why? Because the toilet seat was like higher. Yeah, you got my, it just, my, my pee went right between the toilet seat and the ball. And so I was just, I was on mushrooms after Friday night and I'm taking a piss and I just feel like my pants
Starting point is 00:49:49 getting warm. And I peed all over and I had to throw some shorts away. I had to throw my shorts away because I pissed all, what am I gonna do? I'm not gonna travel with piss on my shorts. That's what you put in your bag on top. And underneath you put like the 22 hours did you smuggle shit from Israel?
Starting point is 00:50:12 I'm gonna need to. I got that little thing in my bag the last time that TSA looked at it. It's fucking parent, I hate that shit. I put things in your bag when we traveled. I wouldn't throw, get you thrown in jail. And after times they never even stopped ya. Listen, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:50:31 What's talking about bag? Looking back at it, the guys that are successful with a great team, and I think about Gabriel. Right now, first out of great team, Joe Koi's got a great team. But I think of the guys, I'm not talking about management agent, publicist, all that shit that comes at the job. When you're at that level,
Starting point is 00:50:52 I think about the people that are around you, you know, what are we talking about? About that. You said that I was talking about me getting fucked with on the road. But you were saying, you bring people because they're part of a fucking joke. They're part of the running joke. But it's all a joke and love. Right. And it's the funniest thing that you'll ever, those are the things when you're selling out of rena's. And you're doing all these things. Those are the things you cherish forever Those memories, you know, I told you I had a guy in El Paso. That was the house MC But his real business was he cleaned movie theaters and he cleaned the comedy club and
Starting point is 00:51:38 this guy guys was something out of this world because He just was there every fucking night with a tuxedo on, you know, he had a like a little big head. He was like five foot six. He could have been a apocalypse though. I don't know what he was.
Starting point is 00:51:56 He was married, she'd come in, but he'd still hit on women. He had the platform shoes, which was hysterical, right? And we used to fuck with him, the club owner, Tommy, give him a long letter, give him a long intro. Like this next guy coming to the stage went to Catholic school for high school.
Starting point is 00:52:20 And while he was up there reading it, he'd be looking like, you know, how long is this? And the club owner would go read it. And he'd read the whole fucking thing, like two pages, show you what the prison came out. Then he was gonna be a chef, but then he changed his life around, he became a magician,
Starting point is 00:52:38 and I would just give him like a fake bio. I didn't have no credits, but I give him a fuck what he says up there. Then I'm carrying it. Every time you give me, you know, I give him a new bio. Yeah, and then I worked for them one new years, and I realized that he cleaned after new years. So I went to K-Model on those places,
Starting point is 00:52:58 and I bought that shit you grew up in the air. You know, fuck him. Confetti? Confetti? When I was a fuck thing. you cropping the air, you know, fucking confetti.

What do you say what's that thing with the women around then they give you five hours to get only fans I would do that a second if anyone wanted to see screen comedy what I don't know Let's not talk about why what Stick to the fucking basics, you know what I'm sorry, but I do got a book signing October 25th in breakdown. Hopefully, Frankie, I go stop by my lease. Is that New Jersey? It's
Starting point is 01:02:12 not North to come in down. So a lot of people I went to school with live down there. So I've been getting help. You know what? That's New Jersey. Yeah. Very fun. 6 p.m. Yeah, man. They're over. Listen, it's always an experience. I've been trying to get more, but it's like pulling teeth. Who gives a fuck Jack? I'm having a good time. I'm gonna see you in a few weeks. Oh yeah. That's gonna be fun. I'll help you. I gotta go for a fucking echo tomorrow. And then when's that me, but the hominologist, but I've been going to you, Jitsu. You're breathing sound. You sound, you didn't, I don't think you coughed at all
Starting point is 01:02:56 today. Yeah, I did. I got choked up with the water. Okay, maybe once, but compared to what it's been, it sounded a lot better. It's gonna, it's good that you're working on it. But I'm happy that you're fucking sticking with this thing like a soldier. We talk, you know, all the time and figure out different scenarios. We strategize something that's not in comedy anymore. When you sign, when I was thinking about the in comedy anymore. When you sign what I was thinking about the truth for people who are whatever, thinking about getting into comedy and what a manager is. And what a manager is. And then you get a managing like, what the fuck? You know, it's not like the old days
Starting point is 01:03:38 where we 90 days, you meet to get coffee at a butter roll and we talk about your next move. And I don't need to make money on that. This will make my life easier down the road. You follow me, you wanna do that one more. Little things like that. And if they do meet you for lunch or something like that, it's always, when I first got to LA, you met with your manager, he's the good of his office.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Once a week, check in. What's going on? What have we got going on? Pretty soon. My friends got this. My friends got that. But I want to tell you, young comic something. Just so you fucking know this.
Starting point is 01:04:14 I've always forgotten about this. There's just to let you know that one minute, you're fucking hanging out with, and I don't mean that, guys. It don't change your life. When you see a comic trying to hang out with, and I don't mean that, guys, it don't change your life. When you see a comic trying to hang out with an actor, trying to pose big time, it's great, but at the end of the day, you know,
Starting point is 01:04:33 ah, what does it sell tickets for you? I read that you get positive exposure, learn now, you know, while you're young, that young comics, then rely on famous people to help you you'll get those you save those for later You save those for later when you go like your mother fuck this. I thought you mother fuckers knew But anyway, but I had just done the longest yard. Okay. I had a dog the The movie had just been released I'm lying to you It got released made 25th, right?
Starting point is 01:05:17 This was like the second week after it was released. It had really caught on, blah, blah, blah, blah, I think the first week, I forget where it was, the warm up. But I didn't do well. And now it's the second week. And I know I'm doing Chicago on Thursday and Friday. And no, on Friday and Saturday. And I'm doing two other clubs. One is a Thursday night, but it's a regular club like under the Zany's banner. Okay. Another one was
Starting point is 01:05:51 another club that was under the Zany's banner. I had to get picked up, I had to take a flight to Chicago, then take a connective flight for two hours and when I get there, yeah they're all there, They're great people. When we go to this imaginary name, a Fuego comedy club, it's really a fucking bone alley. Oh, yeah, I do those right now. I had sweats on and there was a line of people like, you know, in those days, there was 48 people. That was the line.
Starting point is 01:06:23 You know what I'm saying? With the work out out I was dirty and I wasn't Adam Sandler like jumping up backwards and shit, you know, and I'm like, where's the cuz I flew with sweats on Anyone right on stage? No, I'm like is there a green room? They're like what hmm? There's the bathroom or the car And I fucking just had a change, put jeans on, take a fucking Spanish shower,
Starting point is 01:06:49 put monkey grease in my head, and here I am in a fucking bone alleyway. They show- They're going during your show? No. Thank God. It was one of the roughest shows in my life. That just goes to show you,
Starting point is 01:07:05 don't, it don't matter what you did on Saturday. You might end up in some fucking town doing a bowling alley on Thursday and they're touching you. It's like one of those plays, they all never showered those people. They all have like flannel, they chew on straws and shit. I was out of their teeth,
Starting point is 01:07:25 I was captured outlawed, Josie Well, like those two guys, so a little shoot them and drag them to the woods. They look like that in that fucking town. I remember leaving there like this. I had picked up an agent that was a big time agent at the time through a friend. And they gave me like a fucking jala.
Starting point is 01:07:47 He passed me on to a kid, listened to me to do, gave me five gigs, and it's August. And I go, so what do you have planned for the September? And he goes, he goes, I'm going back to college. What happens after September? He goes, I don't know. We're going to try to get you a different agent.
Starting point is 01:08:10 They gave me a kid that. They gave me an intern. I was just going to say that. You know, I never told nobody that, but now you know, God, look at it. And this was after the longest yard? It was just been released. $58 million. Oh, fucking dollars.
Starting point is 01:08:27 And they give you the intern as an agent. Yep. God damn it. No. Listen, no shame. At least they thought of me. They gave me the intern and this shit. Oh, I'd kill for the intern right now.
Starting point is 01:08:40 They could have gave me the shit. They could have done a lot of fucking things. But just to let you know guys, it never ends. I didn't realize this. The drama never fucking ends. Whether you're an open mic or you've been doing it for 20 years or 30 years, movies, TV, always remember that pen.
Starting point is 01:09:01 That pen's gonna save you forever or something I was never good at. I'm still not good at. I try, you write a hundred jokes, you get 10 good ones, in my case I got to write 200 now to get two and a half. Are you still writing? Yeah, I started again, and guess what?
Starting point is 01:09:20 I'm having a great time. That's hot. When do you go to a coffee shop again? No, I don't a great time. That's when you do go to a coffee shop again. No, I don't have the time. So you just sit at home and just yeah. Last night I just come here and I fucking I couldn't sleep. Listen, I got a good night to sleep. I knew a bad one was coming and about I looked at the clock.
Starting point is 01:09:42 I was I lay down like fucking 1047 and I looked up and it was like 1230 late I was a big dreamy or whatever the fuck I didn't take out of the bulls last night was the Lord's man and do day I see any animals just I don't believe that You know I was Talk I wanted to see the devil tonight I'll just If I came up loaded, fuck them from if I study them Friday, if I drop five of them on Friday, tonight,
Starting point is 01:10:09 I got a 10 of them. And they're only going to give me a short of high. So I said, fucking, take the weekend, dog, no mushrooms, no nothing, Jack, water, but reefer. And that's it. I thought there was no refer. What do you mean no Riefer? You just said, oh no adipals, but you're smoking. Yeah, but I don't need, I just told somebody I was smoking.
Starting point is 01:10:36 When we were together, should I tell them I'm gonna answer tie you up and all that stuff, not anyway. Should I tell him when I should tie you up? No, that's not. Not anyway. I was smoking three eighths every two days. Remember I would come in with three eighths that fucking mamba juice with the dress that tastes it like oil.
Starting point is 01:10:59 You thought I was poisoning you, but I had a drink at first. I would have you picked the wrong one all the time. I was a hundred percent. You're the only person who put fucking toe dust in and you always picked the wrong one. Well there's no right one. You probably put toe dust in both. I think I'm able on the front, put it in the front and with the fucking the one that clean, and I closed the other one really well, with Toe Dust Jam, Malukia Juice, heroin, the whole fucking, Japan, and I put it in a tube next to it,
Starting point is 01:11:35 and you'd say that one was broken. I'm gonna drink the other one. I'm like perfect. And like, you know, like, four in the morning, and you're in the office with your socks off. Yeah. I had a fucking.
Starting point is 01:11:48 You probably got your drinks on your juice. You're gonna be best. Huh? Probably got you probably got your socks off right now. Of course they do. You have socks on right now. You got what? You have socks on right now.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Of course I don't want to. I got the jufty out. I got socks and a d to song. Of course I'm not wearing feet. I got the jufty out. Yeah, socks and a deed is so I think I got the way to think I was rolling skating fucking off with my big size 13 fungi toe. I got a half a toe though I'm down like a half a toe. What happened to your toe? The fungus is eating the meat everything. It's all over No, it's it's a I tried everything with this fucking fungi toenail. It's just, I tried everything with this fucking fun guy toenail. It's just, it's in my body.
Starting point is 01:12:29 I can't use a big zapper because it'll affect my kidneys. And that's where I'm at. What are you going to do? Did you ever tell them what you called my toe after we did you do that one time? No, the wash with toe. Yeah. Listen, you can get his toe with an arm lock. Like, you grab his toe, do a camorro with it. Fucking, you gotta see the size of that Orchwoods toe. I do. I have a fucking big ass catalyst on my, on my big toe. I'm talking, you know, he can climb up the walls like Spider-Man,
Starting point is 01:13:04 like Batman without the rope. Remember the old fucking Batman. He had the rope with Robin behind them and then asked them so questions. And that's my toe. What does? And that's my toe. That's your toe. Oh, what?
Starting point is 01:13:18 But yeah, so you just couldn't sleep and that's what got you back to writing? Because sometimes when you're having a son, yeah, sometimes when you start the day, you just throw that shit out there and I throw it something out with anger and you know, you catch it's a good thing in there and you pocket it and that's it. I'm really tell why I'm going to go ahead. I'm sorry. I'm really down on current events. Because when you're a comic, you look at current events. To compete with your life and bring on stage. And now I'm not into that anymore. It's whatever I read online real quick. If I go, I look at every Tuesday and Monday that gets published, especially on my, my little Mac,
Starting point is 01:14:14 whatever the portable one I have, right. So say your screen time and I'm looking at it, it's going less and less. Oh, really? Yeah, I watched it for a while and I saw the results one day and God know, you know, you can't hide it. No, you start watching YouTube videos. I'll fucking get a notebook and put legs up and live from fucking Mass The Square Garden. I've done it 20 times in the last fucking 10 years. And I'll just sit there, you know, I'll go outside, smoke, come back in, listen to two more songs, get up, say, a Diet Coke Zero with ice. I'm like, you know, this what you do when you're a stoner.
Starting point is 01:14:57 What do you want me to tell you? I play drafts here, you know. I love drafts in Casino. So I'm telling you, I look at the lines, like if it's football season. Last night I was already looking at lines for the following week. I make some note, you know, this is, it's not like you're at a bar jumping up and down. It's not like I'm with LA when I could go to a ha ha cafe. It's not like even if I wanted to. Can you put any bets?
Starting point is 01:15:30 10, 30, I'm thinking about it in the crib now. You get what a lurk at 7 a.m. Why do you want a lurk at 7 a.m.? Why do you want a lurk? What does that mean? Lurk means I want to get up 30 minutes before my door gets up, 20 minutes, whatever the fuck it is, then I got up like at six. I come out, I pet the cat, I walk out, I open up the back door, I make some coffee, I
Starting point is 01:15:59 go out on my balcony and I just sit there. And for 20 minutes, I don't know nothing. You know how much peace of mind that is? But I just sit there and I stare out into the horizon like fucking rain man. And next thing you know, somebody's awake. I start talking to him. I already had a half a cup of coffee.
Starting point is 01:16:22 I finished my mug. And now I walk in and it's a fucking family time. Till she has to go to school. Yeah, it's not like I talked to her the whole morning. She don't want to talk to me in the morning. She'll give me a hug. No, she'll give me a hug.
Starting point is 01:16:37 On the way to breakfast will cross paths. Sometimes she needs breakfast before I do. The breakfast is ready, but I didn't hear my wife. So sometimes she eats and as I'm going up, I get her a hug in the hallway, but I get out. She's got to get ready for school. I don't even want to interrupt her. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:16:57 If I go upstairs and break her balls, she's going to forget something. She's going to school. She's got drums, a fucking backpack. Yeah, a canteen, like she's going to be at none. But they have water at this fucking school. No, it's a problem if they forget it. Like I used, I never brought water one day in school. Look, I got more fucking water canteens than anything else from this goddamn house. Do you bring anything around with you? Do you have one during the day?
Starting point is 01:17:31 Oh sure, you gotta see me with my little sandals on walking around looking at trees and dead deer on the side of the road. I gotta get the fuck out of here. I think it's the doing people to see, all right? Monday night football is about to start. It's a lot of Vegas giving green bait two and a half of that this morning. What are you picking, Lisa? Yeah. I'm picking tonight. I'm probably going to go with.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Well, I did. And I know you're going to give me shit for. I know you got to go. I put a bet today that the chiefs and the 49ers would play in the Super Bowl. That's why I think with the Super Bowl will be. Okay that's great. You want to be the swami from Salami. But who you bet today? Green Bay. Who? Green Bay. All right. Green Bay. Great to see you. Great to see you. We're in the week. Thank you for helping me bring the computer back to life.
