He was in Scarface, he was in a couple movies, but that guy could do some fucking comedy you know a lot of people don't appreciate the style we'll get to that later, but He walked out of a bodega
Starting point is 00:04:15 Like on in the Hell's Kitchen, and I was walking past I just turned around I said hey man You know I always thought he was just an actor then I found out through people he was a comedian I Try, you know those days there was no internet in 93 Thought he could somebody's set so And I approached him like a gentleman.

I did worse He goes keep doing it and then he goes I'm doing a show Come by but I didn't do that night and then I moved back to Colorado and Then I became a regular at the store and I saw all his pictures
Starting point is 00:06:15 And I inquired he got chased out of the store by Kenison Well, his girlfriend they were at war. I don't really know I Just asked Mitchie one time, and she was like, it wasn't good, but I miss Angel. But I got to do a lot of work with him. And he was one of those guys that was very interesting. This had to be from 97 to like 2001. I must've done eight weeks with him.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Wow. And did he remember you from when he first met? Mm-hmm. He remembered me. He goes, I'm proud of you, stuck with it. Then I told him I was a regular at the store and he fucking loved it. And we worked in El Paso one time. And it was okay You know like when you work with a name like a big name and all week long as a feature you're writing your jokes down
Starting point is 00:07:12 You're learning his fucking cadence. You're learning his credits and You get there that Friday. He's on a TV show and You get there and the guys a dick and then to top it off he heard that fucking funny not at all like people were walking out off for shows and shit angel was one of the first guys I thought was a celebrity that destroyed the room Lee like destroyed it and I knew what those names were getting and I knew what he was getting at the time and they were getting a steal.
Starting point is 00:07:51 He was selling out all the shows and every show was a standing ovation. Don't ask me what he said. He would change on he would be with a diaper. He would start off with a jeans with a shirt with an American flag. He come out to Bruce Springsteen. I mean listen He hadn't written a joke for 20 years when I was working. He was still talking about born in the USA But his opening was how you doing the Spanish people? Where's my Puerto Ricans? Where's my Cubans? Where's my Mexicans?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Where's my Puerto Ricans? Where's my Cubans? Where's my Mexicans? And he would go, where's my Colombians? And he'd go, I wanna talk to you after the show. And he would just fuck it, you know. And it was kinda hacky. It was very hacky at some points, but it didn't matter. He was making them, he was destroying them.
Starting point is 00:08:42 And I always learned a lesson that it doesn't matter what TV show they run You're gonna bump into headliners and you're gonna go up to a master and go Why didn't you ever go to LA and they're gonna go out we didn't like it. I'm married My mother's in a wheelchair, whatever And you're gonna go Wow, if you ever went to LA you kill him You fucking kill. Oh, yeah There's tens cool. They're like those guys. Oh I'm in a lot of great especially around here. There's a lot of great headliners who just don't want to leave but it was
Starting point is 00:09:16 Credit it's nothing to do with that shit. Meanwhile, you work with a guy that's on an ABC show And he's fucking god-awful He's got off like I'm not I'm just saying ABC NBC The only TV guy work with that was solid was Tim Allen that dude was fucking solid He would he's he was a comic, you know, I never worked with Seinfeld but Roseanne was solid When Tom Rhodes got his TV show in the mid 90s. He was solid Margaret show was solid. There's people who get put on shows and They run with it and I God bless them. But when you go see him live, you're like, I'm never coming to this again
Starting point is 00:10:00 And it's a weird as a feature because like as a feature you expect it I expect and I was spoiled around you guys, but I expect as a headliner that they're gonna come in and destroy it Yeah, and then to like see some headliners who are just not very good or you know, not at that level I'll put it that way and then their douchebags the top of all they have a Publish this with them and two agents and a manager and a fucking trainer and you're like, oh Are you fucking eating this dick?

I listen Talk to me when you take the wig off and they move on You know, I can't talk to you with that fucking hamburger meat on your head Did you ever mess with a guy who had a jubay like when you were a kid?

Starting point is 00:18:03 The hats, the wigs, the fucking fucking whole thing and at the end of the day All that treatment not a fucking hair came up. Oh No, I never and that's the problem I think that's like how I got lucky is I was never like a good-looking dude I wasn't like I was getting a lot of chicks with hair. So it never really bothered me If I was a good-looking dude, that'd be terrible looks don't matter when you got the heart of a tiger a big dick You just got to sell the dick and see what happens.

You got a great UFC fight coming up and that's it and that's that But let's get the kill Tony now Yeah, I Learned a lot the other night and I spoke about it on the patreon podcast today
Starting point is 00:33:40 Hard work pays off sticking with something pays off. Sticking with something pays off. When you first start something, people always want to knock you down. Why are you doing that? Nothing's ever going to happen. Look what happened. I mean, I think the podcast has been going since 2010, 2011, 2009, and the reality of it started a 90-seat room. That's the fucking reality of that podcast. And you saw what I saw on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Four levels of people packed. And it started with a 90 person commitment. Oh, they're just a show in general, yeah. Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. And that's what I was explained to people that You read about all these people like when you you grew up in Boston Who was a local guy when you were growing up that went to the pros or? You know Fucking let's just say Doug Flutie. I don't know if he's from here, but I think he went to Boston College
Starting point is 00:34:40 He went to my he's from Boston. I think I don't know let's just say in college. You went to, now he's from Boston? I think, I don't know, let's just say. I'm looking for somebody that came from your county that you looked at one day and go, oh my God, he made it to the Reds. I don't know if I could do that, you know, but at least it opens your eyes.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Right. It gets you interested of what things you could do. Cause as you're growing up, you look at your neighbor, unless you grew up in Beverly Hills or fucking, you growing up you look at your neighbor unless you grow up in Beverly Hills or fucking you know You look at your neighbor. You're like everybody's blue collar Everybody were you know, it's kind of yeah It's not sports. But for me it was Chris Evans. He went to my high school and he Captain America. There you go. Not even sports. Okay, so when you saw that it opened your eyes
Starting point is 00:35:24 Yeah, a little bit even if you said that's not what I want to do It just goes to show you what a person from your neighborhood could do people fucking do things, you know, mm-hmm and But then you meet somebody and For us at either a comic For me, the first person I met was my neighbor. We were neighbors for a month.
Starting point is 00:35:50 He would come over at night. We'd split a bag of reefer, you know. He was a little younger than I was. His girlfriend and my girlfriend danced together. And they just, we were neighbors. And then I became pretty tight at night. After the comedy store He come to shows like I said one day he came in I
Starting point is 00:36:09 Asked him where he was. He says he was in fucking Ohio shooting a commercial For three days and he goes it was weird because they made me switch bags To make a long story short his first check was two hundred fifty thousand dollars Okay And he got another fucking half a mil or something. He bought a house. He bought a five series BMW and him and the girl got married. She stopped wiggling. So when you see that you go, wow, now stupid and you're ignorant. You get mad and you go, he's lucky. I'll never be that lucky because guys like us feel that we either got to rob you
Starting point is 00:36:47 Or win the lottery to ever be millionaires. It's never really gonna happen in your fucking lifetime Nobody else in your family or millionaires. Why would you there's so many negatives around you, but then you get to hollywood And for me it was real. It was ralphie may How many fucking times did we share money to go to fucking Rouse and buy Coke cuts at three in the morning or go to Jack in the Box or to buy a bottle of vodka? You know, it was it was real and all of a sudden one day he moved into a gated community and within two months later he was in the house. Wow. And that has to do something to you as somebody's friend,
Starting point is 00:37:27 not make you jealous or angry. I knew Ralphie had done the hard work. I fucking knew it. He deserved everything he got. And once you start feeling that way and going that could be me, that could be me if I keep doing it it'll happen it'll happen because you surrounded yourself with people that are doing things yeah and it's not gonna it's not for you to come to me and go fucking Ralphie got another deal Josh Wolf is making this much that no it's for you to go mental note I'm beating that for me it was the first time I heard Martin Lawrence made 10,000 episode on death jam I was like, that's my number
Starting point is 00:38:10 Yeah, and fucking good number a good number, you know but to walk in there and see the hard work and Then see the people from the comedy store To look at dice to look at Paulie sure and Just the generations of the store, you know Like I'm the class of 97. I don't know who gives a fuck That's hard work, man. And that's why I took you I wanted you to see Because you knew the podcast. I think you did kill Tony early on didn't you? No, not yet
Starting point is 00:38:43 Then you go down there with me when I did it one time? Remember I was doing it on a Monday night or something? I don't think I was there, but I've watched it. And it's, yeah, that was exactly how I felt there on Saturday night. You know, that's what I'm trying to do. And to see, you know, like I had never met a tell before, South Volcano, everyone was there.
Starting point is 00:39:08 But it was just, it was really cool to, exactly what you were saying, just be like, you know what? I'm not going on stage tonight, but maybe like if I keep working, maybe I'll either do a show at then, or do, you know, my own version of Madison Square Garden. Like my version of Madison Square like my my version of Madison Square Garden is the Wilbur listen that's what I wanted to
Starting point is 00:39:29 it's your success it may not be the garden Lee it may not be the garden and maybe something smaller but that feeling when you see your hard work. Yeah. On stage, Lee, I couldn't breathe. And then stop clapping. No, they got real for me was when I looked up. That's what I got people or the jumbotron or both the jumbotron at the people in the top row and I counted the rows down and For every row is like seven years of my life. I dedicated to get to that row So I've been doing comedy about 26, you know 30 something years. It was four rows. It was like Seven years a row
Starting point is 00:40:20 That's what I as soon as I looked at it. I wasn't thinking of jokes. I wasn't thinking of any I was just thinking about how great it was that I got on that stage that night and how great it was that I Stuck with it not knowing Not knowing any of this shit was gonna evolve, you know And then when Aaron whatever came on he started throwing football I started throwing weed Weed that was tremendous at this guy he was from Jersey. He tweeted me. I see he wants to know where I got I got it from a friend of mine but all that was to me was a
Starting point is 00:41:01 great way to end or A great way to end or a great way to start again You know Nothing could top that night for me Unless I in two years make a goal to sell that out Right. I don't need that goal, but I'm pretty happy seeing what my work did and if it was the garden, then so be it. For some people, it might have been a movie, a TV show.
Starting point is 00:41:29 For me, it was never the garden until I looked at those things and I looked at what that place meant to me, how many people I went there to see and all, from fights to basketball games to concerts, hockey games, college basketball. So it just felt it hit a little different, you know? When did you start feeling that way? Because even being backstage there must have been pretty cool for you.
Starting point is 00:41:56 No. Or no, and not then, okay. I have an idea of what was going on and while I was talking to the audience, they look like any other audience in front of you right? left that I go holy and then I looked around the rim and I'm like And right there I counted the levels and I go About seven years a piece that clapping and yelling and Joey and I'm like Calcul calculating shit.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yeah, it was like the equalizer, it slowed down. Like I was thinking, I was laughing to myself because every time I do a show now, people will say like, oh, how much time do you want me to do or this or that? And you always used to laugh at me about that. But then you got the call to like tell you what you were doing, like basically on the way to the- On the way, you saw that, you heard it it people think like, you know, I got the call
Starting point is 00:42:49 They told me I was going up and they were gonna do something But you were in the car with me at approximately five o'clock Right when they called and said this is what you're doing in two hours You're going on stage for the few minutes and you're going on Yeah, and People like hit me up. Why did you do more time? You just bailed? Talk the show was over
Starting point is 00:43:16 Yeah, oh, yeah over. He even said it we got to rush through this because it ran out of time They had a time lock or they got fined Yeah, that's I forget who I was talking to it wasn't anyone involved with the show, but there's like a humongous It's not like a $500 fine. It's like tens of thousands of dollars for a minute or something a Minute they charge you by Like eight thousand a minute ten thousand a minute. So nobody wants to pay for that shit unless you don't give a fuck Unless you just go I'll rip the check up Ten thousand a minute so nobody wants to pay for that shit unless you don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:43:48 Unless you know I'll rip the check up Rip it up. It don't matter. I Almost got kicked out. It was it was I if I it was almost like another south point But thankfully it wasn't animals. Thankfully I I didn't have I didn't have a problem But like they take it see they take security seriously It's like not it's not just some security guard that they hire for ten bucks. These guys are like for two hours So shame on them at 1010. They decided at 945 They decide they wanted to throw you on and they fuck that's gotta be Johnny white man You know, he's like he's not even the security
Starting point is 00:44:22 He's like the help they got like from that security detail those places But they give your shirt that night and 1250 and you go home with a fucking hamburger You can't have a gun or a water pistol. That's why that it was 10 o'clock. The show was ending at 10 He decided to come up to you at a quarter to 10. Oh, yeah. Yes is Jesus like fucking Chicago It's thank God for Steve Simone. saved me he found the guy he's getting through the small 15 an hour when a hamburger and also they want to play rental cop and fucking tend to fuck it and you're like guy are you oh I would have been pissed because I do I I haven't heard a poly everyone like the show is great
Starting point is 00:45:06 Everyone did great all the all the panelists were awesome Tony and red band awesome But then like when when they announced you at the basically end of the show Like I've never heard that was like huge. Well, that must have been the biggest you've ever gotten I would imagine Huge well that must have been the biggest you've ever gotten I would imagine No, I got a bigger audience crowd at a 200 seat or one time Lee are you retarded this 18? Little bit right now Even if 10,000 shut up, I would have still had, you know, it was still, I didn't let it, you know, the only problem I had was I couldn't breathe.
Starting point is 00:45:54 How long did it take you to catch that? 10 or 15 minutes. Because their energy was 18,000 coming at you. Right. And it felt like their energy wouldn't let my stomach expand. So I was just yelling, you know, without letting my stomach expand. And then when I got off and they made me come up,
Starting point is 00:46:16 I ran up those stairs to boot. I'm like, I'm gonna fucking die. I just held onto the thing. I was singing with the drummer because I couldn't move. I just make him believe I was singing with the drum Did you like see yourself in that in the stadium? I guess a kid like and the places you sat like what was going on what was going through your head? All I kept thinking about was I talking about going there for the fucking circus That's all I kept thinking about I had gone there for millions of things
Starting point is 00:46:44 But all I think about when I go in there that's humorous to me is the circus. For years, people were like, did you see gladiator? No, I went to the circus when I was fucking six. I went to the circus in New York City. Whatever they did throughout the country, they would fucking have to do it better here. So they eliminated the net.
Starting point is 00:47:03 If you fall, you fall. This is New York City, you know. Kids getting hit in the head with fucking lights. The next year they came back with like special Olympian helmets. They didn't even know what special were. They were like homemade helmets that your father made for you.
Starting point is 00:47:18 So you wouldn't get hit with a little light in the head at Madison Square. That's all I can think about. I could think about walking there. I wasn't thinking about anything I even told Rogan right in front of you. You were sitting right there when I go dog I don't know what I'm gonna say. I knew that was true. He's like, you don't know what you're gonna say. No You have anything for me to say and he was like And I asked you and you tip me with with something weird I'm like nah I can't say any of that shit I gotta hit
Starting point is 00:47:48 these motherfuckers like you know Johnny bench 73 whoo oh yeah and you did like you and that's that's when you really should record is every time you've ever said to me that you don't know what you're gonna say It's like it's been your best sets Which is crazy Could you dig deep deep in the fucking murky waters? You know I'm saying but mushrooms are doing good. You're yawning. Oh Yeah, I love these troops. I'll be on fire by now Whoo ready to go ready? You know saying
Starting point is 00:48:25 But yeah now I don't know what to do. I don't know what my next move is. You know, I still remember walking out of the garden and that hot Puerto Rican girl talking to me about a reminder of her father. I'm like, that's not what I want to fucking hear from. Oh, that's a bummer. Yeah, she was great.
Starting point is 00:48:43 She was funny as hell, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great nightmer. Yeah. Yeah, she was great. She was funny as hell though. Oh, yeah Yeah, great night, but I was happier for you Lee Me having an old man. Oh, I give a fuck but I was happier for you I wasn't even happy about going on stage as much as I was happy for bread banning Tony I'm very proud of those guys. Those guys are What I dreamed of you know that everybody could do no matter what if you're a guitarist you know once you pick what you want you have to push and I know bro he got into it tens of millions of arguments with agents
Starting point is 00:49:19 over that show trust Tony yeah's going on in the background and He did his dream man. So for that I got a toast that motherfucker That's big when people tell you what to do and you tell them fuck you and you win. That's big That's like, you know Roseanne or when you take that role and you win They can't fuck with you no more. Yeah, I didn't know, Jesus Christ. I didn't like, I didn't know any of that was happening, but it's just crazy in the last, it seems like four years or so.
Starting point is 00:49:55 They taste good, they have pepper in them. They're peppery, it tastes like that chick that looks like shoe leather at the stores. The chick that looks like shoe leather at the stores That's The chick that looks like shoe leather What chick I don't know The fucking The salt be jerky be jerky it tastes okay when they say it's gonna be peppery That's what this tastes like these are peppery mushrooms for any event. You know I'm saying
Starting point is 00:50:25 It's gonna be a lot more than the fucking beef jerky. Oh, yeah, I'll be up to a four in the morning tonight looking at windows Looking for you at falls waiting for the Jews to strike, you know, oh we're coming No, it's getting ugly out there they they're doing something all they said you I sent stuff over there. So yeah They might not be a school year So you know I'm saying there might not be a lot of things in September So if you're going on vacation August take the shit that you love Because like I said before We rock hardcore once the fucking Israel starts launching those missiles. They're gonna hit anything
Starting point is 00:51:06 Like if you live in Pittsburgh, I'd be scared anything with the begins repeat Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Philadelphia fucking Even Oregon gotta look at us Parabas. Yeah, that's like now from my house. That's why I'm on delay anything with a pre you would they're gonna fucking you know, so Good luck to everybody. I think I'm eating mushrooms at nine o'clock at night because I'm optimistic This is not gonna be good, you know I'm saying oh No, that was a great night. Oh,. You know, in so many ways, but that was,
Starting point is 00:51:47 it was, to me it was like a comedy store night off. So Mitchie Shaw was there, but then the wake up Sunday and see poor Angel was dead. That's sad. The last Angel story I heard was from Rock Chess to New York, because Angel was a savage. Right. And he had two shows on a Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I told this on the Rogan show and I got in trouble. Angel sent me like a long message and I'll tell you what he said to me. So I hadn't seen Angel in years. I used to party with Angel. You know, I used to do everything with Angel. Angel's a good dude. I was just thinking about this. What was I talking about?
Starting point is 00:52:30 Maybe your last story of Angel Salazar, I think in Rochester. I told the Rochester story on Rogue and he sent me a message today. It's not the way you said it. But anyway, so he goes to Rochester. He has two brilliant shows on Friday night. Now. It's Saturday night He goes out Friday night
Starting point is 00:52:48 With his creepy friends. They do coke to like fucking 2 in the afternoon like usual guys fucking 60 years old He's got two shows. He goes does the first show and he kills He tells the owner the club. Listen, I'm going in, I'm going to close the door. I'm going to take a little nap. I didn't sleep too good last night. He closed the door. They knock on the door an hour later, no angel. An hour 10, no angel. An hour 15, they kicked the door down.
Starting point is 00:53:15 There's angel, foaming from the fucking mouth to the other whole thing. I wonder why he had a problem with you telling this story. They gave him tea, they gave him nitrous oxide, they woke him up and he went on stage. He did like 20 minutes, he was just falling apart. So they took him off stage and they put him back on the couch and he slept. And then when he woke up, they carried him out to his Jeep and Scotch taped his check to the fucking windshield. When he woke up, he was outside in the Jeep. So when he heard me tell the story, he reached out to me immediately.
Starting point is 00:53:54 He goes, you are wrong. He goes, they roofied me so they didn't have to pay me. Just the fuck. Somebody would roofie you when I started having drug dealers. I was like, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that.
Starting point is 00:54:10 I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that.
Starting point is 00:54:18 I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not, who has a drug? And that's when I started having drug dealers wait for me after I saw his lead. Really?
Starting point is 00:54:28 I worked with him in Miami on New Year's Eve. And it was one of the second biggest bombings of my life. And that's me, him, my girlfriend, and two other crazy people. And I was like, I'm gonna go to Miami. I'm gonna go to Miami. I'm gonna go to Miami. And it was one of the second biggest bombings of my life Me him my girlfriend and two other crazy chicks snorted coke like the four in the afternoon the next day and
Starting point is 00:54:58 Somebody's crazy apartment and that was a friend of his he just took us all He didn't know I knew the girls. I knew them for a long fact I In fact, I'm still friends with them. And he didn't know my girlfriend, and he just said, come, everything's taken care of. We were there till four in the fucking afternoon, New Year's day. And did you have a show? No, we had a show the next day, the second. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:55:18 But I bombed so fucking, that was the second time I worked Miami. But I had never worked New Year's. It wasn't the same audience that they usually get. So I went up there thinking it was a Wednesday night. Ooh, Lordy. No bueno, I bombed two shows that night. Oh no, and were they both bad?
Starting point is 00:55:39 Like, there was no food left. The salmon was coming out late. I could say a thousand excuses, but it was me. Right was me right not the wrong way and I didn't read my audience It was an older audience They were Jewish people from West Palm Beach Okay, speaking Spanish and they looked at me like not tonight there fucking boy You're not gonna iron my shirts. Don't be talking that shit tonight. It's New Year's Eve I would love to see you do that in front of all Jewish people cuz yeah, I
Starting point is 00:56:09 died a slow death that fucking thing and What year was it do you think? 2000 New Year's No 99 99 2000 I was no past so with a magician 99 I was in El Paso with a magician 99. I was in Miami with him How did it go with the magician not too good
Starting point is 00:56:37 Not too good it never does go well, you know These clubs hire different genres and I appreciate it, but Eve Unless you got a lame fucking audience who wants to see a fucking magician on New Year's Eve Right, I mean unless you like I Mean who wants to see a fucking magician who would take the honey? Guess what? You know that comedy club on Main Street. There's a magician down there New Year's Eve We should get our friends. Have you got two other people that go easy? You got to take all four of those people sit them down and put the gas on
Starting point is 00:57:12 You know who the fuck goes to see a magician on New Year's Eve. I want to see a dog disappear on New Year's Eve No, I want to see a bird disappear some guy with a top hat No, I want to see a bird disappear some guy with a top hat what about card tricks No, are you fucking crazy? When I was 10 that's good for New Year's some guy comes in and does pre card tricks and on the way but I don't want no see no fucking magician on easy dog Even there like whether like more than 10 people there? Bunch of Mexicans were there,
Starting point is 00:57:47 but they don't like magicians either. They started walking out after me. Oh no. Mexicans don't like magicians. I know you don't. No, I don't like magicians. They, I just, you know, whatever. Don't get me started on magicians.
Starting point is 00:58:02 It's a nice night. I'm happy. Yeah, I don't want to bring it down. But no, again, I killed Tony was just amazing. It was so cool to see like everybody. Nah, for me, it was more than just, it was just, I was blown away. I was really blown away by the work,
Starting point is 00:58:28 you know, what they did, how they, you know, Tony, just Tony and Redman, man, and they kept doing it during the pandemic. Yeah. And it was selling out during the pandemic, big in Austin. And I'm like, these guys, anybody who went out during the pandemic like that work people didn't forget No, and I think I think they were also really smart with like they they do a great job on youtube I think like that's People love watching it. It's like podcasts are great and I love them But like if it's mostly audio
Starting point is 00:59:00 Like you have to have some youtube and if it's a great YouTube if it's like a real actual show It's gonna do great You know, it's great like we've been alive podcast with the church yeah, well I said we can't sustain it Sustainable at the time I was traveling, you know It would have been great to do a tour with the podcast at that time. We would have fucking done great Right. Yeah in back in the line, sir It would have been great, but it was just too much with the road. I was trying to get it on Thursday nights Do you remember like I talked to a few clubs like ah, we rather you just do stand up
Starting point is 00:59:39 We don't they didn't understand the concept that no I don't understand the concept their own little, their special part, and they have the great guests. It's like, it shouldn't, it almost shouldn't work, but then like the way they wove it all together, it's perfect. You know, this is with the band. Yeah. And everything, I love open mics. I love- Really? I don't love to see people bomb
Starting point is 01:00:24 as well as how they react to the bomb You're gonna bomb on stage Lee, but if you let the audience know that you're bombing you're gonna bomb harder Right, you know when you're a young comic you'll start saying like ooh, this is a long night You know you start blaming the audience on stage and you're just digging yourself into a deeper hole Just digging into a deeper hole, Just digging yourself into a deeper hole. You've seen it. And that's what I liked about open mics, that I wanted to see how people reacted to not doing well.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Because that's the learning process. I know I'm not doing well, but I'm not giving up. I'm going to go back around. I'm going to go back to basics and Trust me some nights. It's just not your fucking night, man. I was dead tons of those nights But some nights you start off great and there's a low a Lot of people you learn how to get yourself out of the low Right. Oh, yeah, and I can't even then there's because I cut a 45-minute set into three pieces
Starting point is 01:01:34 Okay, I cut it into 15 minute chunks. That's how you should look at it. So there's three periods you could lose the first two periods and still come back the third period and Well, just destroy You could you could win the first round, lose the second and come back strong on the third, but you're not going to recover from the second and third from them two fucking rounds. It's just not going to work out for you. Right. And that's what I looked at. I always looked at headlining when I started getting better at its 15 minute chunks and Between those 15 minute chunks you can take around a little bit to add two three minutes to it
Starting point is 01:02:12 Before you go into that other fucking chunk to rip their hearts out for the last time That's a whole new level What's that? Just like looking because to me I'm at the point where if I'm doing 45 or more I'm just doing pretty much every joke I've ever written No, I want you to look at it in 15 minute spots and break it up Intro medium remember when you went to school and they taught you how to write a letter, right? Same thing. I'm writing a letter to the audience
Starting point is 01:02:42 So you have the first paragraph you have your second paragraph and then you close strong your third paragraph You can't lose the first you could lose the first two And come back so deadly in the third that it's fucking you know, but that's how you have to look at it and those segues That's when you have your two minutes to drink your water giggle a little bit Say whatever you have to just in between that to kill time Right, and it but it is also as hard with the open mics. It's hard to do that in five minutes It's hard in one minute. It's almost impossible Mike when I give you 15 minutes. I want you to chop it up into threes
Starting point is 01:03:22 What oh, yeah, I give you 10 minutes. You're gonna chop it up into threes what oh, yeah, I give you 10 minutes You're gonna chop it up into threes. You're gonna have three rounds or three minutes You're always gonna divide your sets like that. That's gonna make you a lot better when you go up there. I Want you to know where you are every minute of your set? So I don't want you just to go up there. I want you to actually say this is my intro This is what they're first gonna see this is what they're gonna see and they're gonna make a decision within I don't know what the consensus is 28 seconds whether they like me or they don't Interesting if I go that role then I got them, but you know what? I'm not fucking Richard Pryor
Starting point is 01:04:02 I might not get him in the second round I'm not fucking Richard Pryor. I might not get him in the second round Something might happen. Somebody drops a dish. I Say the wrong joke. I say the word cunt on stage, which is terrible, which I never did But I'm just fucking saying sometimes you get that loss Now it's and instead of them showing that you're losing the war You stand firm You put the microphone, and you go back to your basics. You go back to one.
Starting point is 01:04:34 And you never address it. You just keep going. No, you address it, but go back to one. What did you do in one? You tried to win them over. Slow it down. Slow it down. Things got out of control. You ever get to an argument with somebody and you go slow it down. Things got a little out of control and you end up hugging and kissing and that's
Starting point is 01:04:56 the same thing. Sometimes in the second quarter things get out of control. Yeah. I said something, you said something, she dropped a glass. You know, I didn't know that she had a retarded son, and I called somebody a retard. All these things happen. Right. But if you know that I'm dying, you're gonna die. I'm not ever fucking let you know that I'm dying. Even off of my mind last fucking, and
Starting point is 01:05:22 the times I died early was because I let them know I was dying. Why would I let them know they're dying? I already they see that I'm fucking dying up here So why would I keep them all this is a long night I could see you guys don't have a sense of you when I you start turning on and Now you're really not gonna get nowhere I rather you get out of there as a gentleman and they'll come back and see you a second time because everybody knows you have a bad night But don't run off the stage and say, you know, you guys don't have a sense of humor But I was so high on the mushroom just now. I thought you were me. I'm looking
Starting point is 01:06:00 fucking mirror That was been down on who that it's scary for probably for you You look at it and I didn't look at it like that the first 10 years Don't think I looked at it the first 10 years because I would have gone farther in my career. I Looked at this one When you started planning when I started headlining Okay, got it You know if you're MC and you 15 minutes spot you got three fifty three five minute quarters
Starting point is 01:06:31 If you're a feature you have anywhere from 25 to 30 minutes. You got three ten minute quarters and If you're a headliner, you got three fifteen minute quarters Then anything you do after that is on if you're a headliner, you got three 15 minute quarters Then anything you do after that is uh, if you're winning at 45 Take a chance, but don't push don't give them too much Because then they won't come back Right depending on earlier look out of there. It's really a hard chemistry And it's hard to actually make that map
Starting point is 01:07:03 Early on because you don't trust yourself where it's going to go. But that's the best way. I took that from talking on the phone, selling on the phone. They have, I just call, I'll have, for a month or for two months, I'll call you. And the guy that's looking over my shoulder is telling me to tell you what's on that sheet But after 90 days he don't bother me no more he knows I'm already a good salesman
Starting point is 01:07:33 So I become cocky and what do I do I go off the script? and Then for two months, I don't sell dick. I Might sell one or two, but I ain't gonna sell like I used to. And then you go back to the script. I never really wanted to have a script on stage. I wanted to where I was and where I was going. I could switch third quarter
Starting point is 01:08:01 with the second quarter anytime. And you wouldn't. Absolutely. If that first quarter material's not winning, Third quarter with the second quarter anytime and you would Absolutely, if that's first quarter materials not winning. Let's hit him with the fucking heater Let's go I don't do that enough and then also I What you just blew my mind with is like because you always hear about like the closer like the closing set closing bit Well, like I'm thinking back to a lot of my bombs and I think it's because of the opening bit.
Starting point is 01:08:26 I would try something new and do you think the opening is almost as important? In the beginning and it fails, you still got three quarters. Right, but you're talking about first impressions. So I'm saying to have a really good opening joke is like super important When I got into comedy I loved ice and I loved Bill Hicks, but I also loved Lenny Clark out of Boston Mm-hmm, because the minute Lenny Clark touched a microphone he went to work He brought Boston on stage He brought Boston on stage I
Starting point is 01:09:10 Believe that you could write some of them like I was on a plane one time and I landed in Vegas and I read what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and I added if I fuck in the ass. I'm telling somebody Line to go out there the first joke and say That's tough. How you guys doing? Listen before we get started at the airport. I read something what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That's all good But if I fuck in the ass, I'm telling somebody that is such a horrible way to open it Really? Oh 50 or 50, but I also knew what I had behind me Right. I also know your audience
Starting point is 01:09:55 No, no, no, no, no wasn't okay. I was a feature act. Oh shit. Okay. Yeah So I knew what was but coming behind that Could save that wall. You're not gonna take the wall from me I'm just gonna come out and try something new. And then I didn't keep the joke, but every time I went to Vegas, I used the joke. That's a great joke. I escaped throughout the rest of the year or any other towns or use it in a bit.
Starting point is 01:10:16 I just used it in Vegas. So it's really interesting before, you start headlining to really look at your sets like that before you start doing anything I wish I would have done my sets like that in 1995 I would have been a way better comic, but I was too busy snorting snorting the dust off the field. You don't say Hey, it worked out but no dad. There's gems. I love it. I love these like these little things for the changes how I do everything What do you got this week cocksucker this week?
