Starting point is 00:13:10 but he suggested El Nido, him and his fucking crew. And we went in there. Now I've eaten clams. I've been eating clams since I was fucking maybe seven. My mom used to make me fucking eat clams to toughen me up when I was a kid. You know, I've had Mary way horseradish, you know spaghetti and clam sauce, right these clams I don't need a recall charred clams. Oh
Starting point is 00:13:35 Now picture five guys like me sitting at a table talking shit Before the dinner comes. I Mean we were going at it Steven Seagal, you know The whole fuck and they were talking about people next thing, you know the meal the appetizers came And every pretty much had gotten clamps. We bit into them. There was a silence over the table That's the best you went into that trance It was like the clam taste. You didn't know whether it was lobster. You didn't know what it was I'm like, what the fuck is this and then you taste the cherry pepper
Starting point is 00:14:12 I'm not like changes. I'm in my like Three of them maybe and I had to go to bathroom fucking pee like it lit me on fire Jack the flavor It was superb and I'm not one of those guys. I don't like all that cream and shit. This wasn't creamy a piece of focaccia bread Oh Usually clam person, but it sounds great. Oh my god, and the clams were fucking huge I went it looked like my nut sack the clams are you When I was eating those clams, I'm like, this is what my nuts must taste like when you skin them like if Hannibal like to have a my nutsack
Starting point is 00:14:45 That's what he'd do marinate put them on focaccio bread like a fucking animal. That's what I kept thinking these ain't clams These are some of these nuts from the fucking sanitarium And if you still ate them, they must have tasted good. Listen at that point. It's like eating Chinese food You close your eyes and pray for the best. I'm saying What else did you guys get anything good I Listen at that point. It's like eating Chinese food you close your eyes and pray for the best. I'm saying What else did you guys get anything good? I? Ate a couple of the my god. It was like lobster something it was black ink squid
Starting point is 00:15:17 Not pasta, but the cups like a ravioli. Oh nice Oh, this is Jersey bitch when you come here you better bring both guns I never saw that before I'd never seen that before in my life And while we were sitting there, I was I had spoken to Theo early in the day And he said he had a ticket for me to come with him. Oh nice Which is better cuz I don't have to ask Joe Joe asked me if I was going and I go feels got a ticket
Starting point is 00:15:52 I haven't made up my mind yet cuz I'm not driving up there. He goes steals ticket is my ticket you coming And that was it nice. I got a car. I went through the back. I had four grams of mushrooms. I had a bag of those fucking Sillies four grams of tropical blue They were delicious. I ate the whole bag before I even got in the fucking car By the time I got to Newark, I was already kind of on fire Yeah, but when I walked in it's not walking into a room with three people Into a room with 10,000 people wasn't filled up yet. My heart stopped. I'm happy. I brought my little anxiety fucking inhaler Cuz I had to stop nobody caught me with the inhale and I had to sit on my chain go. I think I made a mistake
Starting point is 00:16:40 Did you take the mushrooms as soon as you got in the car? Yeah, why not? I want to get them be on fire I'm what am I half a fucking pussy? You gotta go prepared You're walking in for newer. You better come with fucking three guns to newer That does it makes a little sense because you FaceTime me with Theo and I don't know if you remember but you guys didn't say A word both of you were just dying There was nothing to say, there was lights and disco music and fucking people dancing. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
Starting point is 00:17:14 It was superb. I hadn't been to one in a long time. You know, usually I'm pretty scared to go out at night. Nevermind go to Newark till one in the morning. That's a sure recipe to get stabbed. You have that listen. There's some things that things are gonna happen escalated sushi Newark after it's not gonna end. Well, you don't say But I was even surprised you stayed for the whole thing
Starting point is 00:17:41 Listen I ate another bag, you know of I brought loose mushrooms I was chopping on those in the bathroom Some dude gave me capsules a gram and each thing we were popping capsules in between fights It was superb Superb like Like it doesn't freak you out being in like in front of 10th. You're a TV camera in your face and you run ex-monograms when you go to an event like that unlike basketball or
Starting point is 00:18:12 Having into a boxing match in 35 years, you know I used to go to the garden and watch the janitors golden gloves on a Tuesday night Yeah, long time ago 84 83 so I'm sitting here with you and I will tell you one thing that differentiates The UFC brand okay and anything else you'll go see And I've never been to Bellator because I've always thought like I cheated on UFC because they were good to me from the beginning Joe was taking me And I'm sitting here with you and because I've always thought like I cheated on UFC because they were good to me from the beginning Joe was taking me
Starting point is 00:18:54 You know and I fell in love with the sport and I started watching it So but I go to six of games I go to Nick games I go to Philadelphia, Philadelphia Philly games They're all great events, But when you walk into a UFC, the energy sweeps under your feet, whether you're in the cheap seats or in the best seats in the house, because I was looking at the fucking middle seats and those motherfuckers were having a great time. Yeah. That's certain energy. And once you tap into that energy, whether it be with edibles or mushrooms or a hit off a vapor pen or whatever the fuck turns you on, you feel it a little extra.
Starting point is 00:19:41 You feel it. Like you feel it. Like you know that you can't go to one of those events and do cocaine You gotta be a fucking idiot You know, I'm not getting up every eight minutes and walking around with a stupid look on my face I'm not gonna do ecstasy. I'm gonna either smoke or have a couple cocktails if that's my shit They got cocktails there, you know, you drink three margaritas you get that good tequila in you You either have a mushroom that worm gets in you
Starting point is 00:20:09 young fire out of UFC dog, so For me, this is what works for me. It don't work for everybody else. I'm a fucking pathetic junkie So this doesn't work for everybody else so this an energy like I still remember taking the acid and going to see Anderson silver with Ari and Like I still remember taking acid and going to see Anderson so with Ari And had silver kick the guy in the face and like I thought he kicked me in the face You know, we looked at each other. We almost ran the fuck out of there And like he's but especially with mushrooms like mushrooms are so like positive and silly
Starting point is 00:20:44 But it but the like the people getting punched in the face doesn't like freak you out A couple times I felt the punch Sean Strickland fight definitely called whatever my man Dustin fight I felt some punches. I felt a couple leg kicks. I'll tell you that those leg kicks are fucking brutal. I I saw that Wrestle the Makal the Makalov, that's unbelievable. That wrestling, that's just, it's just unreal what it takes to be one of those people. I think that's what impressed me the most that night.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Seeing the art, I haven't really watched it in person in seven years, and you can see how much it's evolved in those seven They become way better athletes You think so? Yeah, look at the early you are sees. There was a lot of guys that were chubby You know, right? I'm just thinking because I started watching it like a little over a decade ago And but and they had but they did have like they had boy Nelson who was awesome And then but then and they yeah
Starting point is 00:21:49 They but then and now they have people who are like in their 20s who've been doing jujitsu for like a decade Now they seem like who haven't done drugs like testosterone Like okay regular guys. There was a guy that fought tremendous He looked like he just got off the fucking couch playing Nintendo whatever the fuck that is Really to get into a fistfight. I Missed the prelims, but that was that yeah prelims and then there was another guy I'll made a Brazilian that was his first fight
Starting point is 00:22:23 You knew as soon as he walked in he was killing somebody that night Really? I tried to bet him but it was 25 bucks to win six so I Because I knew This guy's finishing this guy. He's gonna jump right. There's his first fight He beat Alex Perre and a kickboxing match. Oh Okay, okay They didn't tell you that until after the fight. I guess I didn't say nothing. I just found that Friday
Starting point is 00:22:50 Is it like do you see something different live than you do on TV? Tremendous you feel it, you know a couple people hit me up on Twitter did you faint? There was a lot. Yeah, right to answer your question. I almost went down There was one part of the fight that the mushrooms me and the blood made eye contact And it was not good fellas really God Thank God I put myself in those positions to get stronger. I Looked down. I started a conversation with Tommy And then when I was ready I put myself in those positions to get stronger. I looked down, I started a conversation with Tommy.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And then when I was ready, I looked up and it was fine. And it was when he was about to choke him. OK, with his face, he ripped his nose or something. When Dustin Poirier got up, it was six ounces of blood came out of his nose. And then he went and another six ounces came out of his nose Oh, I was gonna have a fucking heart attack and for the people who hit me up on Twitter. God bless you Yes, your uncle Joey almost fainted for that fight and now scared me more than anything. That's why I just started breathing it out Because there's nothing there's nothing worse than pass not
Starting point is 00:24:06 in front of fucking 18,000 people. I can never show my face again. I gotta walk around like Michael Richards with a fucking mascot. This is the idiot that passed out at the UFC during Poirier's fight. Well, the other way, you could just play it off as Edibles. In front of Trump
Starting point is 00:24:25 so, you know, I'm getting deported like Imagine that faint in front of Trump either you ever see event. I'm getting the board Probably before that happened. I would have like jumped on somebody and grabbed them Just to tackle them and take my mind off it What when was the last time you like you passed out because you've been working on this since I've known you I passed out to be able to do that.

I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. Like even guys like me at the age of 30 were like that is fun.
Starting point is 00:53:25 This guy is fucking hysterical. I remember them when when like Napster and like LimeWire, when you could download like pirated music for the first time, like I found them on there and like they were. Some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard, like I like that. You can't you kick my dog with something like we would say like to each other in class Like it was it was and I don't know how old it was but it was still fucking talked about You know, it's so hard. It's so weird now. I loved so many things. But when I got into comedy, I got so consumed
Starting point is 00:54:03 By comedy that they went away without me even realizing. The only thing that didn't go away was my fungi toenail and the fucking my cocaine problem. Everything else, like entertainment, went away. Like once I really got into stand up 95, like that's when like I was like, I think about that period in my life because you're almost going through that. You're almost there. Like at that time when you're really on the bus now, you know, you're about to get a call any day you find what a company went kaput or fucking Amazon bought them.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Hopefully they'll give you a little fucking severance package. And then you're forced to do something at that point What are you gonna do get another job? Play the drums. You're gonna go fuck it. I'm gonna try my best to give me money anyway This is the chance to shit, you know and it was just such a fun time for me because I Wasn't thinking about anything late. I wasn't thinking about a podcast. I wasn't thinking about a podcast. I wasn't thinking about headshots. I wasn't thinking about an agent. I was just thinking about getting funny
Starting point is 00:55:12 and being a comic. And I still remember that. And I think that's why I like this shit. Just writing stupid jokes down, getting on stage. For me, that's what I could do right now. I get off those every fucking day to do a room. I'm just not interested. I like doing 20-25 minutes getting the fuck out of there. I don't have the commitment in me to write a fucking hour for it to mesh, for me to do callbacks and shit. I got too much going on. Right, and you're kind of like not starting from scratch do you ever see the Adam Sandlin movie but I think was Billy Madison like where he did each grade in a couple weeks yeah it's kind of that's how I met like I'm seeing it
Starting point is 00:55:54 like you did a few open mics now you're doing 20s and who's you might not go up into an hour but that's what it seems like is that you're you're rebuilding each phase my goal is every time I go to the Starship. I do a new 15 minutes Or I pull a Janet Jackson when I get there the first night. I keep three and a half minutes to get me going Okay, say something new To get the crowd. That's my goal right now, but they don't seem mothership at the mothership. They don't seem to do all material Like really really like I did something old when I was there last time, but I mixed it into something new Okay, you know
Starting point is 00:56:35 So it made the joke a little better. I made a little smoother. They loved it. That's awesome. And no I'm I'm just happy and seems like it seems like you're happier like you sounded even though you were tired on Sunday You sounded like you had a good time at the UFC Guys You know, you know more this than anybody when we were going hard in 2018. We were going Lee Lee you were working Ten hours a week, but you were working 10 hours a week, but you were working 90 hours a week.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Your central nervous system was going, you're fucking, you know, and that was both of us, Lee. So I've always felt that, you know what, Lee, you were always chasing something. I don't know what I was chasing at that time. I was chasing a good time. I was chasing, not thinking about what was going on. I Didn't want to think about when this was gonna end or how long just have a good time
Starting point is 00:57:33 If it means okay, and eating 2,000 milligrams a day You know, but at the same time my anxiety was getting out of control Because I had this running anger under me that no matter what I did, I'd always be a standup comic on the road. And at 55, 56, that's not a great future. I didn't wanna do it. I don't have tax problems. I don't want to do it. I don't have tax problems. I
Starting point is 00:58:06 Don't need to write so You know, I got old but I was caught in a cycle and Now I look at it and I just want to be happy. I don't want to be angry around the girls Mm-hmm. I don't want to have to do some I regret. I don't know what's gonna happen here I'm they're at a fucking concert time in Philadelphia. I Don't know what's gonna happen here You know people reach out to me. Can you do my podcast? We'll zoom in no I Can't Lee it's not a funny thing I can't

Yeah, she rings the doorbell and you know most days I'm outside with her Right like I wait by the bus and we walk and talk and shit But after that, I don't know who's coming over here
Starting point is 00:59:11 Really? They're just running around From 315 To the time we settle for a practice or this is a zoo over here The neighbors knocked on the door. What are you guys going here? Did you hear about this? The kids knocked on the door? When she comes home, she'll go what's his name's parents are dropping off there in ten minutes. Are you gonna be dead? No, I'm leaving you here by yourself. Hey, I'm gonna be here I got two little girls in the living room doing homework watching fucking anime on my TV I gotta go up there and watch them

I've done two podcasts lately. I did CEOs with him, right? And I do Rogans you think I do that because I'm an idiot? No, because that's what I could do. I don't have time to go into the city to do your 11 a.m. podcast. I don't have it.

I had a castle on sickler I'd be doing the sickle podcast every week if I was going to do a podcast. Don't you think? Right. I haven't done it in two years. Why because we can never get the same timing. Thank God He's got a daughter and I got a daughter. We both understand each other one day when I go down
Starting point is 01:01:20 I'll do ten chapters with him. We'll just keep smoking dope and talking and giggling But for me to do a zoom it's not worth it Right. Yeah Worth it And then is it more fun like when you got to go and you're there with them is it more fun than doing it on The zoom you and I both know I mean we try our hardest with this to translate what we're feeling we do edibles Come on Anytime you got a live person that means anything can happen
Starting point is 01:01:52 You can get dangerous in that room, and that's what I want to see when I watch a podcast I Want to see a guy get dangerous in there. I want them to open up. I Want to smoke dope? I don't give a fuck if he's on a sitcom. I Want you to be free Right. Only way you could do that is in real person with people If you're gonna interview somebody What three guys that are doing an MMA show or show on ballet? I don't give a fuck I'd rather do it with somebody in the room for me. You'd have to have the studio like we had in North Hollywood
Starting point is 01:02:27 Yeah, I have to be able to zip out a after dinner at 630 and Guess what? There'd be no fucking 1130 us in an office Talking about how we're gonna fucking do it, but you know that would never happen And have to get back in the car and come home Wow, yeah No, you how many days a week are you with her after school? I realized every day come on guy every fucking day I'm doing something. I'm getting involved. She even told me tonight. She was dead. Thank you for the tickets Thank you for going out of your way. You know
Starting point is 01:03:02 This is what we do. I'm not going to do that. If comedy is your wife, dog. Okay. You want to do comedy, you want to be successful at it, guess what? As sad as I got to tell you this, you got to really commit to this. In fact, when you have a child, you feel a little unbalanced for a while I heard Chris to Stefano Cried on a podcast because he does facetimes with his daughter Yeah, it gets in that's not what you signed up for but when you join the mob What happens when you're single you'll stab anybody in the neck? Right when I'm single. I don't give a fuck Jack and also you meet a girl you have a baby
Starting point is 01:03:44 Now they call you to go stab somebody now. You got to sit with your two kids Say prayers at the dinner table knowing I Gotta go fuck and stab Maury in the neck ten times and bury him chop him up and bury him You know, it just doesn't some way your core gets And I never thought I'd say this to anybody somewhere your core gets. I never thought I'd say this to anybody. Joe has winded down, he's home every weekend.
Starting point is 01:04:10 There comes a point where you see that the kid, for me, it was when Mercy was seven. I could see she- She'd get upset with you? At that time, she was upset with her classroom. She was upset with the pandemic, the kids in her class, it wasn't what she expected.
Starting point is 01:04:30 She didn't like a teacher in the second grade. Kindergarten, first grade with fucking paradises. It's really weird how your life changes when you pick comedy as, it's tough to be a fucking assassin on stage. It's really weird how your life changes when you pick comedy as you know It's tough to be a fucking assassin on stage When I'm talking to her about some girl band You know I think it informs like a different part like I know you said you don't want to really do jokes about having mercy but Like I'm just I'm like playing devil's advocate. You don't think like this I got 30% of people that'll come to my show though
Starting point is 01:05:09 Giggle and like it's like me going up there and thanking the troops Got a lot is you know, but they want to hear other shit. They want to hear something else and right now I'm not even writing that type of shit Okay It not coming out of me that way you know so it's kind of weird how you go in levels and right now at this time in my life I fucking love this right now like I'm thinking about the summer we just got invited one of the girls from the softball team invited down to Delaware for a week. So I get my brother for three fucking four days He lives half hour from where we're going this i've been dreaming of going down there to spend time with him
Starting point is 01:05:56 You know, he's my brother that lost his wife Yeah, uh mike Yeah, I sat with him at mercy's. Um, yeah down there eat eat good food smoke dope watch TV break his balls Gamble take him back to where we were we were growing up. That's what I'm doing. I got another week We got like two softball tournaments nice Next week we got no baseball It's like there's nothing but I asked to tell you I know what we got Saturday Sunday
Starting point is 01:06:27 She just started spitting shit out My radio plan. Oh, yeah, there's a pool party of four then she's going somewhere else and she's got to sleep over Saturday Sunday she's got something at 1130 Something else it to you know, this is it's fucking Monday It's Monday Sunday she's got something at 1130 Something else it to you know, this is it's fucking Monday It's Monday And I know Thursday now I got to do some I got away from my wife because I got to find out what time The concert is on Thursday It's got a concert Thursday morning because this is why she was only little concert Wednesday night at the garden
Starting point is 01:07:04 Because this is why she was only little concert Wednesday night at the garden Okay, it's recital Thursday morning at school. I got to find out if she's gonna be there fucking Thursday I'm gonna have to switch my jujitsu data switch brace my heart. I like the blue belt class Or no class tomorrow Is there a reason I mean do you really I don't think that most parents are as involved as you are Like do you is that was that a choice? Yes, because the first time I had the opportunity I Thought that a man made money that's what was a man. I didn't know that
Starting point is 01:07:54 You know, I thought that men just walked in at the kids had made their wife a kiss a dinner and left You know, I wasn't like I was leaving to go to a strip club. I Was leaving to work and those days I used to leave at six and get home at six and then Shortly after that I got a job at a comedy club at night. I was working a full fucking day, you know Then I got divorced and I lost the marriage and I lost everything And I went down that list And now I get the second chance so it's like somebody was asking me today to do something like Yeah, that's not gonna happen
Starting point is 01:08:29 It's not gonna ever happen because I got too many things in the afternoon Not big things are things and they might be little but they're big to me Yeah, me being here at 315 every day Means the world to me. What about it? When kids come home at three 15, I know about listen, I know what I did at three 15. You know, and I started going home at three 15 when I was in the sixth grade She's going into the sixth grade next year
Starting point is 01:09:14 What would you have done in 315? I go home throw my books down fucking get something to eat I do my homework in those days You know, but if I was curious about something, I would go look at places why I shouldn't look. Oh Yeah All over the house like to look for money or what were you doing? I was torturing my stepdad looking for hiding in the house because I hadn't been there I would only live there on the weekends in the summers So I really had to take a look of the assessment, you know at that time I built a phony garage gym in my garage
Starting point is 01:09:47 I took the sliding doors And I take them off the hook and I lay them on two chairs and I fucking lip bench press like an idiot And then I would have to set it up before my mom got home because they didn't know I was lifting weights Oh, you put it back on the on the closet or whatever Yeah, to put it right back up put the chairs away how they were when she left You know, so I come home and do things that and then Yeah, the sixth grade I started bringing a girl home And I knew that they would come home at 530 so I would kick the girl out I would walk home at 445
Starting point is 01:10:24 Her mom would come home at 530 so I would kick the girl out. I would walk home at 445 Her mom would get home at 5 Yeah, everyone and I don't think you're worried about that specifically with mercy, but it's like a good that you're there But I also remember something else from my childhood guys, and I'll tell you what it is There was a lady on my blog Kids name was Janine. She had a sister, Grace, I think.
Starting point is 01:10:48 Very cute girls. But the mother was a chunky Italian chick. Okay. I forget her name. God bless her. If she's dead or she's alive. Let me tell you what I learned from her. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:01 That when her two girls came home with the neighbor and me and Dominic and Valentine, she always had cookies for us two days a week. And I always remember, I would go, I wish my mom did that. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Like step outside with cookies twice a week fresh-made She would make chocolate chip cookies and bring a cup of milk for you
Starting point is 01:11:29 that's when I got in trouble when I was a kid when I took one of her cookies and She asked me how it was and I go pretty good My mom called me over smacked me and said go back and tell it was the best fucking cookie She you ever had because she worked hard all afternoon making that cookie you sack of shit My mother smacked me because I took one of her cookies But it was pretty good. I always remembered that feeling that that mom gave me and then as I got older Anthony Balsano's mom would make fucking cream puffs whoo And that's really nice Mousano's mom would make fucking cream puffs. Oh
Starting point is 01:12:07 And that's really nice Dog given that terrorist you made it right you were there and Carmine's house was 80 yards away I'm sorry, right and I'd be ten steps up the hill and Anthony would run back and go Coco Coco Come back. My mom made cream puffs She would wait in front of the house with the tray of cream puffs And I'd run down a corner and I just sit there He'd go in get me fucking chocolate milk and I sit on his fucking stoop with six of the other neighborhood kids Eat her fucking cream puffs
