Starting point is 00:01:53 Two weeks ago on Easter Sunday, I took my family out and I got sangria Oh nice, and I said what could one glass of sangria do to me, but My fucking nature popped up and, and I drank half the pitcher. I got home. The alcohol with the food, it just didn't mix. I fucking barked, and I had to go upstairs and go to sleep. Fuck. I can't drink.
Starting point is 00:02:20 It's a waste of time for me. It's not good. It depresses me. It's a waste of time for me It's not good. It depresses me. It's over doesn't depress me as much as I used to when I was younger You know, even those last couple years at the Comedy Store very embarrassing people talking to you got a fucking water in your head Like some fucking my move, you know, I wish I could drink two or three rum and Cokes and go home I wish I knew how to do that Wish I could drink two or three rum and cokes and go home.

Starting point is 00:10:07 thinking about it just thinking about it you know and I don't want to listen man the worst thing I see lately is like a high-level comic comes to town and all sudden like a comic that's maybe you know shows up and tries oh I didn't know this is going on tonight oh you want me to, oh, I didn't know this was going on tonight. Oh, you want me to do a set. I don't want to be that guy. And Josh is my brother. He knows we always have a but I don't want to be that guy. I don't want and I can't sit in the audience because people will terrorize me. Hey, can we take a picture? Fucking Josh is on stage. Right? He's on stage. It doesn't work
Starting point is 00:10:45 It doesn't work. You know, I wanted to go see Tony Rock last week. I Can't you know, it's just so many fucking things. I don't have Tony Rock's number, right? I would call them the south slip in the back with you something. I can't go in there I listen my motto has always been for me right now the last 10 years I Could come into your room Wednesday and Thursday and do a guest set Friday and Saturday it belongs to the headliner If I'm gonna show up on a Friday of a Saturday, what the fuck is wrong with you Joey? You think so you think because people just go crazy No, because
Starting point is 00:11:26 It looks like I'm trying to steal somebody else's done And I don't want to do that. I never want to try to steal somebody's done the people work hard I was never one of those guys to bump people. I was never those guys to run the light Before you could become a great comic, you have to respect other comics and respect the comedy rooms and just all around. And that's what, if you do that all the time, you will become a better comic.
Starting point is 00:11:57 It starts with respecting everybody else. Listen, I don't have the heart to walk into a club and bump comics What are you doing people ask you if you want to bump no, I'll wait I Got walk in a room and they'll go you could go up whenever you want Now let these guys work their magic because I remember Being on that thing and some douchebag comes in and Does 50 minutes he's supposed to do 10?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Right he does 50 fucking minutes And I remember how I felt sitting back there going what the fuck is going with my life This guy comes in three nights a week, you know once they stopped that at the store It really helped a lot of comics comics felt Oh, it really made a change because everybody knew that from Monday to Thursday Somebody was gonna pop in and Ruin your fucking night. So if you were gonna go on an 11 now you were gonna go on a 10 12 10. I Can't even imagine the audience is like that for that long
Starting point is 00:13:07 They might have liked it at the beginning for 15 20 30 minutes, but not an hour or two hours. I Love people. I fucking love people But you know one of the reasons I left Cuba Because you got to pay attention to Fidel Castro every Sunday for fucking six hours and talking And in my world, I can't listen to Jesus talk for six hours. Give me a fucking breather I got to take a walk around the block stretch my legs. I'm gonna sit there like I'm a mook, you know for four hours Three hours when I see a comic I want to see your best 50 fucking minutes and we get the fuck out of here Right the fire and you want to take me for an hour and a half
Starting point is 00:13:51 But it's an hour and a half fire i'm in Right is that I I don't I never saw that, you know We were talking about something the other day a friend, uh, jimmy florentine If you go over at the garden by one minute, it's $10,000 a minute. Fuck. I think Gabriel talked about that with Dodger Stadium.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I think he said like he lost money or I don't know, don't quote me on that, but he was talking about going over. It was a minute, think about that. Damn. 10,000, now when I was a kid I go to concerts they do four on cause Six on course, I would get so bored. I leave fuck it. I just Songs they did my song. I kissed the girl next to me. It's time to go home. Why leave with all these animals and Take the train and walk to the fucking time. Whatever that
Starting point is 00:14:43 Port authority on 48th Street, whatever we have to walk from there the garden with 800 other people You know get out now get the fuck out. All right, he did my jam it's time to go I stole a t-shirt from this idiot next door who got drunk and And uh Who did he steal a t-shirt from Oh when I was a kid, I went to one show and the shirts were expensive I'm like i'm not buying no fucking shirt and i'm sitting there like 15 minutes and a little pigeon falls asleep next to me With the t-shirt under his arms like the wing
Starting point is 00:15:25 I just tickled him a little bit. He picked up a little bit and stole that shirt. That motherfucker woke up 35 hours lighter and he had like four people step on him. Dog, I went to a bunch of shows. I was just thinking about the last good show I went to. Bill Burr and Dean Delray were there. All right. Oh, in LA? Yeah. And we're at the Palladium. We're watching Guns N' Roses and That crazy dude is there that that's a Singer and he comes out. He says Michael Jackson molested him and all that. I forget that dude's name. Oh, yeah He was an actor too, right? Yeah. Yeah, and he does the concerts and people go fun people just hire him to go fun Yeah, how much we got left in the budget give it to him. He's gonna do something He's gonna come out and yell at the band Get out the guy is a fucking piece of work
Starting point is 00:16:10 But anyway something there. There's a lot of freaky people walking around. I don't say nothing nobody. I'm with my wife I got two thousand milligrams of me guns and roses coming on. What do I got to complain about but I'm watching this girl. I Think I erased the photos. I'm watching this girl and I say to myself I've been that age And that young girl has been drinking since 530 in the afternoon And she's she she's here now Guns ain't coming on till 9 and she's drinking beer and doing shots with those guys and the girl must weigh a buck ten. I Just watched her out of corner of my eye and I go bill watch this And within ten minutes she started passing out on the fucking table and the guys that were interested in there and all that shit
Starting point is 00:16:58 They just fucking turned around and listened to guns and roses and this chick is all fucked up and it started when I sleep on the table Then she had both hands on the table and then she said abandon ship and she just laid on to the table Oh, no on top of her and as I was leaving she was barfing How did you get so observant? Like I I don't think I mean maybe I like I understand what she's laying on under the table You would notice her but like you would notice her when she's just started I just want to test my instincts if I was right You know, I'm looking around for fucking Iranians, you know saying I don't know if they got a bomb the fucking guns of roses concert
Starting point is 00:17:38 I know if they're gonna lay down in front of the axle I get to a place I'm looking for exits That's the first thing you do when you walk into the movies or anything like that You sit away from somebody suspicious always close to that exit where you could duck roll Have you ever needed to make a quick exit somewhere oh When I was a kid there was always a quick exit, you know, there was always a back door run out of here When I was a kid you had to run away from oh my god Jesus, but I That's crazy. I had a really cool
Starting point is 00:18:17 Like music excited cuz I'm not really a big music person But I went to let's start from scratch Thursday night. What'd you do? Thursday night Thursday night. What'd you do? Thursday night Thursday night. I did three shows Where one at one at Broadway Comedy Club and two at the Williamsburg Comedy Club. Okay, and then Friday. What'd you do? Friday I did What did I do Friday Friday? I did um, I think Friday I did I think one comedy show one comedy show at Brooklyn Comedy Club and then Josh Jacob and I got it like a we got to go to the radio city radio city music hall and go backstage and it was just cool to see like we saw where the Rockettes did all their shit. It was fun. Good for you. And then Saturday just the one show Saturday and to Saturday the main one was with Josh at Gramercy, which was fantastic. I, I had a really good show.
Starting point is 00:19:10 It was the whole show was awesome. It was, uh, before I ask, is the Gramercy going to close next weekend? No, not because of me. Thank God. Um, no, I had one of my best New York weekends. I've been there like five or six no more than that because five or six with you, but like I've been going there consistently over the last couple of years and Friday night
Starting point is 00:19:37 At Brooklyn and then Saturday at Gramercy were probably two of my best sets in New York. Because there's definitely a different energy there and different kinds of material seems to work. And I finally felt pretty comfortable. I did, and I know you hate it and I don't even like it either, but I just naturally, Williamsburg is just small. So I found myself leaning against the back of the stage. I don't think I'll ever do that again, but it was I just felt very comfortable on stage
Starting point is 00:20:08 Well, it's very listen man You got to find your comfort zone if it means hopping up and down on one fucking leg with a pogo stick If that's what's gonna make the audience kill You know That's what's gonna You have to find comfort, but I want you When I first started I used to go from side to side. I was a big fan of Eddie Murphy delirious Mm-hmm any walking side to side so I would walk from side to side
Starting point is 00:20:40 And then I just started slowing down and then I would just stand in front of the mic Yeah, lose my hand on the mic like Ozzy Osbourne and control the mic. And then somewhere along the line one day I couldn't hold the mic. And I noticed that when I moved my hands, the story, the delivery, I sold it. That's what sells it. It's everything connected to you.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Right. Joke is coming out of your fucking heels and it moves up your body And it's like when you hit a baseball or when you hit a golf ball, I don't really know much about golf But when you hit a golf ball or a baseball your swing is fucking perfect Like once you get your swing perfect, that's when You know and that's when you start to see it, you know? Yeah, and it's interesting because Josh and I talked about this.
Starting point is 00:21:29 He said that like he would do, once he got into it, he would do like a year. He said he did a year sitting down and then a year standing up, a year with it in the mic stand just to see like what works with what. And now he like flows between all three i would say and Yeah, it was just uh
Starting point is 00:21:49 Like I just started I have one joke where I sit down for 30 seconds. Um, not even it's just part of the joke but I like friday i got saturday was great. It was awesome and to do grammar see and the show went very well but friday It was awesome to do grammar see and the show went very well, but Friday Was a little bit different of a set because I went I didn't go up there with like a plan at all and Like I don't I don't really do crowd work but like stuff was happening in the crowd and I addressed it from the previous comic and I just it was like more like we were having a conversation and me just talking at him and
Starting point is 00:22:24 It was like I didn't get heckled at all, but it was like one of the cooler sets that I've had It's very funny when you I don't know for me it took a Eight years. It was in the belly room While I was doing a storyteller show Like we were doing something, Testicle Testaments. Mm-hmm. And it was really tough the first couple of times I did it because there was a minute of silence.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Right. While you're telling the story. But that minute of silence that night taught me patience. It took me eight years to learn patience on stage. That you're navigating. It's like when you see a black belt doing a technique, you see a blue belt doing it and he's about to submit the guy but he's huffing and puffing, he's red in the face, the guy's moving, a black belt locks you up first.
Starting point is 00:23:19 And by the time he takes your arm for the arm bar, it's clean. It's perfect. It's just precision, you know, and that's Bro, it's years on stages like years on mats Like years of playing pool like years of building the houses, you know you just get a knack for it and you get quicker at it and better at it and You know, I'm having a problem right now. I love to get up three or four nights a week, right? You know if I could drive 20 minutes here 40 minutes here. It's not happening It's not happening, you know, and there's other reasons. It's just not happening I'm thinking maybe one night when I get back next week watch when Ari's at the stand and go up there and
Starting point is 00:24:02 Hang with them for the night and maybe start doing that. Just go in the city one night a week, do three spots and get in the fucking car and come home and start all over again. Yeah. You get good at comedy. Listen, you got to be out there. And I've told people this for years. Like somebody said to me, if you put a date out for 18 months and we booked a garden. Would you do it? I ain't gonna listen
Starting point is 00:24:29 People have no idea how much work it takes into selling tickets at the garden or packing the garden You know fucking people If if Tony Hinchcliffe would have done the garden first, maybe he wouldn't have sold it up To thank God with Tony. He built it up. He went to the Moody Theatre or whatever the University of Texas He sold out not one But two shows. I don't know how many fucking pay-per-views and now he goes into the garden selling that not one But two what did we talk about the other day? momentum The garden selling that not one but two what did we talk about the other day? momentum
Starting point is 00:25:07 Right is momentum. It's a train. I'm not gonna get any better company going on stage three times To get better at comedy. It's a seven night a week ten to twelve year trek and You sacrifice a lot you tell a lot of people to go fuck themselves And you sacrifice a lot you tell a lot of people to go fuck themselves You lose a lot of friends. Nobody starts inviting you to things. I'm gonna invite you You're not gonna show and and you're like, come on. I'm busy, but the deep down inside you're like, I just hope you wouldn't invite me Because even if I do get invited I'm gonna find a gig that night Hopefully, I'm a comic
Starting point is 00:25:43 I'm on the way up. I'm trying find a gig that night. Hopefully. I'm a comic. I'm on the way up. I'm trying to fucking get better. I can't sit at your house for fucking four hours and reminisce. There's a spot somewhere out there. There's a stage that I can slip into and do it. And that's the mentality. And you asked Josh, when we got to LA,
Starting point is 00:26:02 his cousin would always have Hollywood parties. Asked me how many I went to I told you zero Zero, I wasn't there to go to parties. I don't mind snorting coke by myself, but I'm not there to go to parties I'm there in LA if I'm fucking in LA And I'm not enjoying my family or my friends back East or missing things What what are you doing? Somebody's got to pay for you on a fucking daily basis Somebody's got a pay if you get up out of bed you're fucking getting up out of bed to rule the world
Starting point is 00:26:40 You're not getting up out of bed to fucking today. I'm gonna smoke 10 cigarettes fuck no motherfucker You know at the at the six-year market comedy. I was doing what you were doing Monday morning no matter how many lines of coke I did No matter what time I fucking fell asleep. I was at the print shop on Monday mornings in Seattle lying Just making up fake schedules booked in Alaska booked in Hong Kong They can't check references now. They think it go on a website in 1995 and checked if I was booking on tongue, but yeah, they don't know nothing So I would lie about those dates. So when they'd see it they go wait a second this guy's in Australia
Starting point is 00:27:25 He's in Hong Kong. Maybe he's got something going on to be honest. He had never worked. I Was gonna say did anyone ever say how is Hong Kong? No, it never worked my international It's like those guys in the soprano when they're like, hey, we recorded in Denmark, you know, who gives a fuck? Denmark So that's We recorded in Denmark, you know who gives a fuck Denmark So that's Yeah No way you're talking about comment like the growth and like you were you were talking about What happens when you get to a certain level because I saw I don't know if you've seen I don't want to butcher the joke
Starting point is 00:28:01 But Cristela Alonso put a joke up on Instagram that I saw about her her dad passing away And it was it was really quiet for a few minutes and then got like one of the big like a humongous Like it was one of my favorite jokes and I could tell it obviously a fucking dark subject to cover Well when you cover those subjects You gotta have a back those subjects are tough because a newbie might go up there fuck with that shit and then you can't get yourself out of that hole no listen I was doing comedy ten years and I told a story on stage of my mother dying done done. Done.
Starting point is 00:28:45 I didn't know how to get myself out of that hole. I did not know how to get myself out of that hole. And then we'd go. I would try it for about two weeks. I would just go up to the bomb. I'm leaving people crying in the audience. You didn't find your mother. That's a tough subject.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And I learned that that night at the comedy store in the belly room, because that's the story I close with. And I'm like, I'm happy I close with this because nobody could bounce back from this. And even when I did the one man show those nights, I couldn't bring it up upfront. It's a dig, it's a deep. And then you learn, I'm not gonna lie to you,
Starting point is 00:29:27 learn from it, bomb it. After you bomb 30 times, you'll learn how to pick them right up. It's like when David Tell goes, I'm with Biden, hug to Biden, you know. Speaking of that, did you see his new special? Yeah, that's where I got it from. Oh, is that a joke in that special?
Starting point is 00:29:46 Okay, and that was one of the best specials I've seen in years. You know why? Because it was not produced. It was crazy. It was crazy. He was talking to the side curtain. Oh, he's broke out the recorder.
Starting point is 00:30:03 It's because we needed that We needed that for special somebody had to go up there and break that fourth fucking wall Enough with this going out there with a brand new jacket on the suit. He went up there with a flute He was like a fucking burglar. Those are those are dudes. I have now when I used to burglary burglarize homes. Oh My god, we're gonna burglarize the homes. Oh, jays. I don't feel so good myself. You know I'm saying People are losing their minds about what OJ died, you know Flabbergasted that motherfucker never went to the grave and got away with the biggest

It keep I have to have a sleeping pill because of mushrooms What are you talking about? It puts you to sleep. I eat like a gram at nine o'clock and by 1030 I'm yawning. I get a little tingle for about 10 minutes and that's it. But anyway, we were talking about this guy. And, you know, after he retired, I don't know what year he retired, you know, I got into comedy and I was going through hell and, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:01 I wake up one day and I go to my friend's house in Boulder and there it is in the paper, OJ's wife got killed. And I heard years earlier, he had gotten in trouble for domestic violence. Yeah, John McCarthy was talking about that. Like he pulled him over one time. And I remember going, but at that time I didn't know anybody. I was like, he killed her. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Okay. I didn't know anybody I was like right he killed her Wow, okay, but I want to explain something to people that have if they haven't figured this out yet Uncle Joey's gonna tell him. Okay Just like people were amazed with The Epstein thing and people today are blown away about the diddy thing This story had a lot of layers. If you knew anything about what was going on. In fact, if you wanna look it up, Mezzaluna, the restaurant where Mr. Goldman worked
Starting point is 00:39:55 and they left that night, they got two years later, they got shut down for cocaine. Oh Jesus. They waited till after the OJ trial and they shut it down because the owners sold a kilo. I don't know, look it up. But they closed down. That was never there ever again. They were involved in a tricky situation. They were separated or divorced, but he was still banging up from time to time.
Starting point is 00:40:24 You know, he had control of her. You know, she was no angel, God rest her soul. I'm not saying anything bad about her. But she played a fucked up game with people who were fucked up. I mean, weren't on the street is the waiter brought the Coke over to a house that night. And she was waiting for Marcus Allen.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Really? Are those stories true? No. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not saying no. And she was waiting for Marcus Allen You really? Are those stories true? No, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not saying no But you know she ends up dead you know and Everything points at OJ. I mean the truck the glove and they fucked it up on one technicality and it was they found a print But it rained that night and it washed the print off and then they fucked it up with whatever they wanted
Starting point is 00:41:08 to do and then they got the word from the higher-ups listen we can't because if we convict there's a thousand things but the bottom line was just as creepy as Epstein just as people are pulled by Diddy right now It was a disgusting life that they didn't need He told them move to New York You could do whatever the fuck you want. You can light your pussy on fire Just don't do it here because this is my backyard and people gonna hear about it and they're gonna embarrass me and you know, I Guess people believe I feel bad about
Starting point is 00:41:46 The whole thing, you know goofing on it before but in reality, I guess people believe I feel bad about the whole thing. You know, goofing on it before. But in reality, I'm a human being. Yeah. And I felt bad at the time. Only I got to make a confession to you. At that time I was thinking of killing my wife, my ex-wife. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:02 So it fueled that Really? It really did Fueled that it fueled that I won by the time he got let off. I was living in Seattle but that Because it was a similar thing You know, she took my child and moved her in with a man without even talking to me Nobody ever came to me. I kept calling the mother and she's like, oh she's out really a fucking three in the morning She's out with the fucking kid, you know, it's just So I felt like you know, I was disrespected that anger the blow didn't help
Starting point is 00:42:40 Whatever. Oh Jay was going through I was going through you know and it just, you know, it was one of the many things that we never discussed how it just fueled me. It really did. Because it felt like I had to do something now. Like the fucking dog was talking to me. You know, the Jewish guy in New York City, the dog was talking to that dude. And that wasn't the dog. That was told you that Jews dress up that was a Jew from Israel Dressed up as a dog barking at him Burdening at him in Hebrew. How do you ask because you've talked about like
Starting point is 00:43:17 Almost doing that to like her at her new boyfriend or whatever. He was Like and then you thank God you decided not to And that's because you've talked about like, uh, almost doing that to like her, her new boyfriend or whatever he was. Like, and then you thank God you decided not to dog. It was a very, very scary time for me. I was very volatile and I was angry and. I felt like, you know, I was lost. And the only thing that kept me alive then was stand up.
Starting point is 00:43:53 That's why I owed my life to stand up because everything was shitty in my life. I wasn't really making any money. I was doing drugs. I was living in a basement apartment with a metal shower My bed was like a thousand dollar bed, but it covered the whole room So I didn't have walking distance I would just I had to take the door off the hinge and I would just jump in the door better at night like a fucking chimene you know
Starting point is 00:44:20 and That seemed like an option It was like if if I get rid of these motherfuckers, for a couple of weeks I lived there, maybe for a few months, it wasn't good. And then I started seeing the truth that this was never gonna work. But just because it didn't gonna work,
Starting point is 00:44:44 I couldn't be around them because I knew I Know me I know I get You know, I don't think about it for a year and one day I'm driving on the street This one guy cuts me off and I think about her and I'd make a u-turn and drive to a house and end it I'm one of those idiots like that. That's why I always got in trouble because I don't know when you know So but man, it was a tough time in my life those cuz yeah, I lived there From he killed her on the 12th of June maybe 94 And I stayed another year almost to the date. I left like June 25th
Starting point is 00:45:26 And I don't know if you ever even got this far but you couldn't There's not really a way for you to get help for that Right because as soon as you say that you're going to somewhere Like it would be almost better if like I wish you could talk to someone about that At that time I was broken, you know, I had no control over anything. You know, I had no control over the relationship. I had no control over my addiction. I had the only thing I had control of was going on stage.
Starting point is 00:45:59 And no matter how bad I felt, I'm like, if I go on stage, I'm gonna feel a lot better. Yeah. And that, this is why I tell people, just cause fucking somebody read you the riot act, your life ain't done. Because I took that anger and I went out every night. And I gotta be honest with you, I never showed it on stage. I never really showed it on stage
Starting point is 00:46:22 until that night at the club 52, when the guy threw a bottle cap at me and I hit him with the head with the The fucking batteries came out and shit But I never really did I knew that at that time. That's what was keeping me Saying I would go home at night. I would cry. I would look at the clubs. I wanted to be in Does it remind you anybody Lee? Yeah, I would make notes the clubs I wanted to be in. Does it remind you of anybody, Lee? Yeah. I would make notes of when I'm gonna be there and this better happen, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:53 And then I'd cry myself to sleep. I didn't know, you know, I was losing control of that. But the only thing, I remember Wednesdays, I would drop her off. And sometimes my ex-wife wouldn't show. My wife's boyfriend would show and I would hand that child to her and
Starting point is 00:47:13 Guys, I don't know if you know what that feels like for people who know what that feels like And I would turn around and before I get in the car tears will be rolling down my eyes And I would always roll a joint And leave it in the ashtray. I'd watched them take off And then I'd take off to a different parking lot and I'd fucking smoke a joint I'd cry a little bit. I listened to the pretenders maybe some black sabbath And I'd go fucking on because I had two options. I could either go home and cry get mad
Starting point is 00:47:51 Buy a gram of coke and go over that one in the morning and kick that fucking door done. I didn't want to do that I'd rather go out talk to people and then get occupied. So comedy saved me a lot of fucking ways guys Yeah, and I thank God That's cuz I've been angry but I've never like that's that's something you could you would still be in jail for No, should I just be getting out? And there'd be nothing available to me except fucking a one-bedroom apartment in a basement under a basement With Jews living next door to me that you know, I could just knock on the door. What are you doing? Yeah, you bet. All right good to see you

So you're like decades ahead at this point. Nah, because I don't mind fuck myself every day with that shit, because I lose my mind. I finally figured out why everybody became a political nut Why people were throwing cans and bottles of people, you know widely why because they watched that 24 four hours shit
Starting point is 00:53:39 24-hours a day And yeah, that's programmed to make you go fucking zombo You watch that shit more than six hours hours They start putting smoke to the TV speakers. It's like pedophile smoke, but a little bit more advanced. It just makes you fucking oh Dude, it's and it's even more than 24 because at least CNN had commercials now that stuff is on social meet Like there's a lot of political stuff on social media, but no when I would go on the road Let's say you went to bed at 1. Mm-hmm. You got up at 3 in the fucking morning for you know, you can't sleep It's hot in the room You drink some water now. You can't can't fall back to sleep. You turn you turn the TV on
Starting point is 00:54:17 You know, these fucking times I turn the TV on at 435 in the morning and then before white people argue it I'm like dog Who needs to shit?

You know you leave the house all fucking you know you ready you ready to do January 6 you ready to go Jump the fence and start stabbing fucking everybody Yeah, that's what happens I Stab and fucking everybody
Starting point is 00:54:47 Yeah happens That's how they get you all crazy and shit They gave people too much information that we can't comprehend and it's all fucking wrong And then we try to make a hypothesis and that's how you lose your mind Right next thing, you know, you got a white jacket on. There's people surrounding you. They got your shoelaces off. Or you'll end up in jail. Or both. You know, it's not a good situation.
Starting point is 00:55:16 I don't wanna lose my mind. I came close. I came close. I don't ever wanna be there again, dog. Did it take you a while to come back Yeah, it did Yeah, it did It was fucking crazily
Starting point is 00:55:33 I had no memory for a while and there was a lot of things it was the Xanax the three thousand milligrams a day the anxiety The weed, you know, two podcasts a week, a theater a week, a lot of writing, a lot of process, you know, it just stacked up one day. And it was like, fuck, you saw, I couldn't, I love comedy. I just went cold for seven months. And then when I got on stage that first time
Starting point is 00:56:02 with Rich Voss and Florentine, I was like, it ain't gonna work work it wasn't ready. It wasn't even I kept getting on stage and it's just the processing was horrible It was horrible. Talk me about a year and a half Fuck I was talking about with like your ex-wife, but you think that was my ex-wife Nobody I let me tell you let's be honest with each other the ex-wife situation that anger Started in about 93
Starting point is 00:56:41 And I'm not gonna lie to you it went till about 2000 or 2001 That was part of me getting fun here was losing a little bit anger and When when were you the angriest like when were you going through the way you talked about earlier? earlier? 96 was when the bottom fell out on me. I could feel it. I could feel I was arguing. 93 hours fucking hot. In 93, I came home for maybe a year to do comedy, live with George. George was in his own world
Starting point is 00:57:26 and I got maybe into five altercations and four of them were with friends, like friends. So when I went home, I was like, something's not right. And I taught, calmed myself down. I got a job, I got into a comedy schedule and then within six months She got my blood pressure back home and that went That went from 93
Starting point is 00:57:56 Christmas of 94 Christmas of 93 was not good Christmas in 93 was not good. It was not good, Lee, but the only thing that was taking me out of that tunnel was that at that point, while I was going deep down, my comedy was going up. The only thing I could focus on at that time
Starting point is 00:58:19 was writing jokes and getting on stage. Thank God. Somebody else would have, trust me, there was a lot of nights when I said, you know what, I'm going to go home, I'm going to get a gram of coke, a bottle of fat tie, and I'm going to play Russian roulette. You know, but I couldn't, I was like, I can't let these people win. So in hindsight, that anger that I had, I fueled it it And now I could tell you I knew what I was doing. No, I didn't know it At one point all that anger. I had to do something with it. Yeah, you could hit the bag Yeah, you can lift weights, but I it became my energy for comedy
Starting point is 00:59:01 But you kind of use it now because you like to get annoyed before you go on stage But it all started then that's crazy. It was a certain night in 96 That somebody had a camera and I was like there were 16 people he put up And I was like maybe number 14. I had maybe four dollars. I started the day with like $300. Now, if you know anything about me on that time, if I had $300, that was equivalent to somebody having fucking $8,000 today.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Right. Like $300 at one time. That was huge for me. That was a gram of Coke, a a cheeseburger a new shirt, you know And I got tangled up in my girlfriend and next thing you know, I had four bucks She said I owe the 200 for a phone bill and then two hours later. She threw me out So here I am at this fucking thing. I got four dollars. I got nowhere to sleep tonight I got to ask Josh wolf if I could sleep in this fucking trailer. What are the fuck he had at that time? I got to ask Josh Wolf if I could sleep on this fucking trailer or whatever the fuck he had at that time.
Starting point is 01:00:14 And I was so hot that I went up on stage. And that's the first time I started firing. Until then I was very punchline, boom, punchline, talk to the audience. That was the first time I started firing. And when I got off, some guy came up to me and goes, I taped that. And I had it for a long time, that tape. Who knows what happened to it. And were you doing jokes or were you talking about what you were mad about? I was talking about what I was mad about.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Fuck, okay. And one of the jokes I got from that night was a really corny joke. I said, you got a bunch of dollar bill. You sit in there, you can lap dances. You're in love with her. She's in love with you. Then you run out of dollar bills. That was one of the jokes from that night, which is, you know, stupid. And there was something else I said that night that I took that.
Starting point is 01:01:00 And I said that for about a year. I said, you know, I'm going to run out of bills. I'm going to run out of bills. I'm going to run out of bills. I'm going to run out of bills. I'm going to run out of bills. That was one of the jokes from that night, which is, you know, stupid. And there was something else I said that night that I took that. And I said that for about a year. Oh, at that time. That was the first time I had ever seen a woman with a tampon. Even though I was married and I lived with a girl before, this was the first woman I dated that will walk around the apartment and I'd be
Starting point is 01:01:33 sitting there high and a little string would be walking out of a monkey. Right. And I would sit there every night. Like, what the fuck? I never had the balls to ask because I didn't want to know, you know, I was 30 at the time. What the fuck? I never had the balls to ask because I didn't want to know. You know, I was 30 at the time. Wait, you had no idea what it was? I knew what it was.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Like, I grew up on Kotex. You know, like women had Kotex, and they talked about it. Now this chick is walking around with a little sticker, a little few, and I'd sit there every night. Like, this is a joke here. and I never said it till that night I Was so hot. I go this bitch walks around the fucking apartment with that little fuse sticking out No, what a pull it or light it and then I go so I lit it Hysteric that's a great joke. That was how hot I was two of those jokes. That was Felipe as far as his
Starting point is 01:02:27 Favorite joke when I moved to LA If he get me a gig he go I'm giving you this gig fool Gotta say pull it light it Okay, and I go up there say the joke people laugh and he'd be like, yeah Yeah Come tomorrow night fool and do that joke again. You never do that joke anymore. That's a great joke. It's a 20
Starting point is 01:02:52 year old joke. Who cares? You wouldn't do a 20 year old joke. Listen, think about a 33 year old man doing that joke. A man with white hair that's losing his head that's got the fucking you can't get away with that. You don't think you could rewrite it in a different way Put it in something the anger is not there Right now I understand I like I can picture you doing that like that night But I'm just highly cuz that's crazy to think about like that's a great joke I like just that line that imagery of doing that like you don't think you could put that into another joke
Starting point is 01:03:29 It's anywhere. I would use it. It's a lie. That's how I thought back then That was the thought process back then, you know, I was more of a stoner this chick used to make me fucking laugh, you know Yeah, just fucking great. It's crazy to think that you have so much material that I'll never get seen I Got so much material that I don't remember But none of it listen none of it was exceptional at that time Even towards the end. Let's be honest. had mickey mouse material i sold it i told you how i felt i told you the story and i told you who i am today and that's what they want to hear you know at that time whatever now i go on stage i don't even remember a fucking story
Starting point is 01:04:18 did you know that the last this whole fucking time just like you were just like you were just like you were just like you were just like You were just like you were just like you were just like you were just like you were just like you were just like You were just like you were just like you were just like you were just like you were just like you were just like You were just like you were just like you were just But it just seemed like you were just flowing Was like does it take you a long time to put a story together? Testament or are you sure testicle testament? You'd ever seen me do that. Oh, yeah Every Wednesday or no bunch of you got to remember one thing testicle testament started as a Foreman show everybody does 20 minutes apiece
Starting point is 01:05:05 Okay, so you're saying that's a good thing. I'm not saying you're not doing it Wednesday or no bunch of you got to remember one thing testicle testament started as a Foreman show everybody does 20 minutes apiece Okay, so you wouldn't have that much time to get you to your story your story had to come out quickly that got me ready That year we did that in the belly room with J more Dice fucking Scott wolf. I mean I had everybody can go Glenn Plummer came through the actor from Sons of Anarchy I mean I had so many guys come through and just tell a story don't don't worry about a laugh Right.

Starting point is 01:05:45 Tell me at what moment you knew you were a man. When your dad told you, some guy told a story that his father and him didn't talk for four years and that this graduation, his dad pulled up to him, got out of the car, gave him a hug. And he goes, you became a man. You know, like he hadn't seen him. I don't remember the story, but everybody in the room was crying. Yeah. And that's what you want.

And I'm like, what's going on? Like I had never been in the store, so I didn't say a word. And Chewie's like, get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:11:00 And he's like, fuck you, I'm a national adliner. I'll never step foot in here and all this shit. So that night I go to do the comedy store.

And all of a sudden Stan Ho is like, no guys, you can't come over to my house tonight because that comic is over there. And somebody goes, why is he over there? And he goes, I did a triple gig with him about seven years ago and said to him if he ever needed a place to stay in LA
Starting point is 01:11:46 This guy took it literally Oh no. He goes to the bathroom and showered in like three fucking days He smelled so bad and what happened was he did Judy Brown's competition And when Judy became a big shot, she was casting I think the Chess Parmentieri show. No, no, she was casting the Jenny McCarthy show. When I made the play.
Starting point is 01:12:09 She called me in to be Chas Parmentieri's driver on that. Again, she told him, he went up to her and goes, listen, if you ever need anything for this Jenny McCarthy show, call me. You don't have to pay me. That's the last thing you tell a casting director or anybody. But Judy makes him fly in on his own dime, stay at Stan Hope's house where he hasn't showered
Starting point is 01:12:38 for three days and gets him a job as an extra where he has to wear toga. But guess what? He got on the set, he didn't know how to act he started telling the director how to shoot the scene And finally something goes shut up and they gave him a stick of deodorant because he smelled so bad on the set Holy shit. Oh my god. This was like a fucking like everybody knew about this. He was so embarrassed Then they fired him from that not only did he get fired from the as an extra I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
