Did you get the apartment? I turned it down Okay Conditioning in the window. That's what this is this oh, dude. I I would die. That's um, I've never sweat so much I've been to Mexico. I've been to Florida in the summer dog First off I've been here for four summers and I already gave up on the summer. It was always two weeks of heat This has been awesome alone. It's been It was always two weeks of heat. This has been awesome alone. It's been
Starting point is 00:03:31 9089 humid the humidity don't bother me no more, you know, I don't need to show my balls to anybody You know I'm saying when you're you really only bothers you when you're looking to get a little a little cup a little swing Yeah, I'm a mink. Yeah, you know, oh, yeah, but people must have to shower like I've showered I showered at least twice a day. How'd you like Michael? When I grew up I take three showers a day when I was 16 because you want to impress girls so you can't know think on you has got to be right your clothes have to be right and In the summers, it's three showers. I'm on the second one already today, and it's not even nighttime Cuz I got to wash the fucking Cuban grease that comes out of my pores between Because I got to wash the fucking Cuban grease that comes out of my pores between the workout and because when I got home from working out today, I sweat up a ton.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And before Ari got here, I took a quick Puerto Rican shower, wash my nutsack, put deodorant, you know, I took a shower. And I know I got to take another one tonight. Yeah, you have to. It was 92 degrees. I went to box today. You know, he had me in there for 35 minutes as fans no air you everything's coming out of everywhere. My socks were so I was gonna go to cryotherapy my socks were so drenched. My feet were still wet. I would have had to put the cryotherapy
Starting point is 00:04:35 socks on and I would have walked out of there like fucking Johnny boom with no feet fucking feet I would have I would have had whatever that shit is when your toes fall off What I like a frostbite frostbite because I was so hot today, you know But they can be at least fucking listen and I know that people gonna watch this and our people are on the real tip That watch the show this ain't no fucking you know people who drive Priuses aren't watching the show looking to save on my watch So I don't even know what I was gonna say to you. Oh, yeah People go home moved listen everybody. I talked to from la
Starting point is 00:05:16 Every other day is it's fucking been really hot here joey, but you still got those jerk-offs that go. Oh no We live by the beach and we just like you a little fan and you're like dog I've been to your house. I couldn't even eat. I was so fucking uncomfortable Mosquitoes are biting me. Oh, you know, i'm indoors here mosquitoes are biting me that bite my fucking ankles Yeah, it's hot. You know, you get that breeze. Yeah whoopie do look at the scene of the ocean list I don't give a fuck about I'd rather be in an ice box looking at a wall warning electronics than fucking look at an ocean and be sweating at this point oh you know like it's just I go to those softball games there's an umbrella we sit under the umbrella uh you know we deter the sun a little bit as much as you can, but I go out there to be in the sun. I want vitamin.
Starting point is 00:06:05 So it's always a catch-22. But no, being hot and people who let their place be hot drive me, that's why, the main reason I go to hotels, because anytime there's a window unit, that was the worst part about getting an apartment is they would tell you one AC window unit was good enough for the whole apartment. They said they never had any complaints.
Starting point is 00:06:25 I need AC in every room in the house. Me too. I like central air. Listen, man, when we lived in that broken apartment in Hollywood, first of all, let's be honest, there was no air and there was no heat in Hollywood. When they built that in the twenties or thirties, it didn't get hot in Hollywood. It was always 60.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Maybe it dropped to 40. You busted out a blanket. When I moved to the valley, the apartment had no air. And that little heater unit in the wall that had a light with the pilot light blow up every once in a while. You wake up in the morning, you had 2,000 edibles in you the night before.
Starting point is 00:07:04 You don't want to light a pilot light. You're like hundred here. I'll blow this thing up like a fucking you know so forget it I'm not gonna do that every morning when we got into the other house that had central air I don't know if it had heat that didn't have heat either Yeah, no Mm-hmm I don't know if it had heat that didn't have heat either Yeah, no That's crazy in the bathroom
Starting point is 00:07:32 And you didn't need it in the mornings freezing But I'm not complaining listen all my I remember one thing about my childhood I still remember going to say Daniel's house on the fourth floor of 148th Street and opening up that thing, I saw a kitchen, a living room, there was a couch and all the kids were on the floor with sheets. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:55 It was one of those summers that you see summer of Sam, it's 98 and humidity all summer. I remember those summers. And I remember walking into that thing and sitting with them and thinking to myself, how can you sleep in this? And they wouldn't sleep. There was three nights in the summer when I was growing up, you just didn't sleep. Even with the air conditioner, it was so fucking humid. It was just so humid that you couldn't put a sheet on you. You couldn't
Starting point is 00:08:22 take one off. It got too cold. It got to the point where you even took the sheet off the bed to stay cool. Like, you're like, what the fuck am I gonna do? It's, so I'm in agreement with you. You need an air conditioner now. Yeah, no, so, but I, you know, like, that was a little bit of a bummer, but it's gonna be fun.
Starting point is 00:08:39 There's a million apartments in New York. There's a million apartments. Maybe you could call those Jews in Brooklyn Maybe they got an underground tunnel for you. You can I have one of those but I want one above ground to 100 a month, you know down there a little electricity. You look like Yeah, a hundred a week whatever the fuck it is. No, you take it so expensive and it's so weirdly because There was two cities that you could pull this off. I pulled off being in the city every fucking day having a boxing gym to take showers and then I
Starting point is 00:09:14 just had it so I could I could be ready anywhere I was. If you called me at one o'clock and said want to go have cocktails I could run to the boxing gym, make believe I'm shadow boxing, jump in the shower, and then fucking put a suit on. I always had a suit in there. Smart. Pants. And I would always break my day up, so I didn't have to run back to Clipside to get a new shirt, a new pair of shoes.
Starting point is 00:09:40 And in Seattle, I did that. I lived in an office apartment. And I went to, I joined a gym, I forced my hand. And I was in good shape then, but the gym made me in better shape, you know? Right. So you find all these different angles and New York's got them.
Starting point is 00:09:56 There's a lot of actors, there's a lot of people who are in our profession in New York. Part-time, great jobs in New York for actors and comics. There's a lot of shit. Oh yeah. That's what New York is to me is like opportunity. There's just like on every level,
Starting point is 00:10:11 not even just like comedy. It sounds corny, but like this is like, I've always wanted to live in New York. Like this is like, it got like emotional. Like I'm so excited and it, like for right now for one year I think I'm gonna try to live by myself and then Meet maybe a comic who I could split up place. Wait, just move to New York, right? I am I'm moving I'm moving right away. You're thinking about my life whenever I'm thinking about the next 18 years
Starting point is 00:10:43 Nice hot black chick after too much of that and she tells you move in with me and put the red You're gonna have two rents and this conversation was never covered So why think about the future at this time last year? You weren't even moving to New York You were looking on getting married and fucking having a boat. Yeah, what the fuck? You're a comic stop making fucking plans. The only plan you make is how I'm getting on stage this week. And your plan for the every three month, 90 day,
Starting point is 00:11:14 everything else is background fucking music. And when you put that away, we've had this discussion. Yeah. This is the other side of your mind, the Jewish side of your mind. And it's an important weapon that you need For comedy I don't need the other shit that goes with it right deep thought and what am I gonna do? Yeah, there's nothing to do just fucking don't worry about it
Starting point is 00:11:39 What if you there three months and you get a TV show and you have to move to fucking Oklahoma for a year? And here we are having a worthless conversation Worthless goal worthless everything I talked about that in the patreon podcast today how it's not that I Got funnier in 99. It's that I lost mental weight Losing mental weight is very important if you're gonna do anything to you. I'm not gonna do anything to you. I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you
Starting point is 00:12:13 I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you I'm not gonna do anything to you He's bleeding who gives a fuck about Johnny at the end of the week, you know, Johnny's at the bar cocktails He wants to die leave Johnny alone.

You know, you know, although I'm going to San Diego to watch the charges over that. Are you fucking kidding me for the weekend? When you're in LA, weekend, you got to be doing comedy. You left
Starting point is 00:15:25 your fucking family. You left people who loved you. You left everything in your life to go dedicate yourself. You're in the major leagues and now you want to do some on a weekend. Like that was the farthest thing from my thought. I lost relationships because of it, Lee. Right. People would not tolerate that from me. Like I'm having an art exhibit I don't give open mic at a Mexican restaurant but I'd rather be at I love you love you to death but I'm not going to your fucking party I'm not going to that restaurant to sit with 40 people don't care about each other then the bill comes and they're all looking around the room like there's birds get the fuck
Starting point is 00:16:06 Out of here, you know, I'm not doing that and 40 people making believe they're friends. I'm not doing that shit I'd much rather be an open mic working on a fucking joke that's been bombing for two years Right a roll and what yeah dropping that shit people come up to me you see that episode of Seinfeld no And I don't want to see it. It's got nothing to do with me, right? Thanks and lobster. I'm over here in a basement fucking drinking fat tire and snorting coke with one nose nostril Hey, you know I'm saying like after a while you gotta go. What's it got to do with me? My man is this What were you saying brother, I'm sorry that you can't something else to say I was just gonna say like that like that's a Like the thing I'm most excited for about New York is just I can do comedy from the minute
Starting point is 00:16:56 I like five o'clock until two o'clock every night of the week Somewhere I can do comedy. I Like I like, I like- So nights a week, if you really want to be a comic, New York is your answer. You know, Austin, if you really want to be a comic, Austin is your answer. If you really want to be a comic, you've got to push.
Starting point is 00:17:18 You've got some acting under you, you want to go out to LA, LA is the place to be. Now, every other year, somebody else gives you a tax break and everybody gets excited. Oh my God, I'm buying a house in North Carolina. And then a year later, you're stuck with your house in North Carolina and you're fucking doing ads for fucking,
Starting point is 00:17:38 the local pizza shop. You're like, well, what happened? No, the businesses in those three cities, comedy mostly in Austin, but the other two Somewhere along the line somebody's gonna tap you on the shoulders and say have you ever been to an audition? Would you consider an audition for this? You know, it's just there. I Haven't even can start thinking about that, but it's it's oh thank God because that'll just bury you into a different fucking
Starting point is 00:18:02 Orgasmic leas I at home. Oh, yeah, I can't worry about that right now. I That'll just bury you into a different fucking orgasmic Lees-eye at-home. Oh yeah, I can't worry about that right now. I just think about, you know, I remember sitting in those rooms crying, snorting coke by myself, like just writing in a notebook, all the clubs I wanted to play at. Doug, I remember the mind flocks. And if I could do it all over again,
Starting point is 00:18:23 I think I would have still done coke. I mean, that was part of it for me to be a fucking junkie comic. Now they're gonna talk about comedy. But think of all that. From 92, from the minute I started comedy to 97, or 8, my life was a mess. My personal life was a complete fucking mess But what fueled it would fuel my comedy was my life My life was not as easy as yours or another open mic or I was going through a fucking divorce
Starting point is 00:18:59 I'm thinking of killing motherfuckers. I'm on probation for kidnapping. I'm snorting coke with three hands. I ain't got no money. I'm out of credit cards. This was real. I was looking at a dead end. And I was like, Kanye will get me out of it. I don't know how. But yeah, here we are.

Starting point is 00:28:56 you know, I'm excited about Kill Tony on Saturday night. We're going. I don't know what I'm doing. He just called me up and said, he's gonna swing by. So I might as well go by and say up and said he's going to swing by. So I might as well go by and say hello. Hopefully you'll be in the city. I went to Wildwood last weekend, New Jersey,
Starting point is 00:29:12 for the first time in 42 years. Nice. And the softball tournament didn't go our way. But it was their last weekend together as a team. Half of them are going up to 14 you now And it was just great to see these girls and I was just looking at my daughter thinking wow She's growing a lot. That's it. She's gonna be these girls in two years and These 13 year olds are just fucking it was just sad
Starting point is 00:29:39 But I had a great time with the parents and I stopped at a wheat store Like I was looking to go to this one weed store but there was two of them there was like a chain and then there was this other one Kurova I saw the Kurova one and I went in there and I didn't know what to expect I brought home three weeds all of them are fucking A pluses I mean I'm in fucking stone for two days I got some gorilla thing that you they dip the weed in like they call it something else up here like golden nuggets or something I never those things but this looks so good. I gave it a shot and boy I'm happy I did I rode the bike for 20 minutes this morning forgot ten minutes later
Starting point is 00:30:22 You know I'm saying that's how I was this morning. so you don't like see a huge difference between New Jersey and California the weed yeah I don't when I got here I listen I didn't touch New Jersey weed for three fucking years I didn't touch New Jersey weed till January okay what was falling out with the other side I was like well I better get to it night I got sick and tired of waiting on people to send me shit I can't live like that if I asked one on Monday I'm thinking you should put it in by Wednesday or Thursday When I call you two weeks later, you're like, oh, I told my assistant to do it and he forgot you just wear me out
Starting point is 00:31:00 Because I'm doing a good job on my end for. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going
Starting point is 00:31:20 to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to you about the Rogan special because I know a lot of people I've already gotten like fucking 50 things or what I thought You know you haven't had a chance to watch it not yet, but I'm excited to I Tried watching it Saturday night live When it came on but all the girls came up to the room at like 10, 15 to get fucking speakers and shit.
Starting point is 00:31:49 And I had all these kids in the room, my wife, their parents. So I shut it off and I was upset but I got to watch it last night. The whole hour relaxed the whole thing. I love the theater. I think Joe's great job. Was loved the theater. I think Joe did a great job. Was it the best special I ever saw? I don't know, but it was a good special. He made me laugh a couple times.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I could see the work, and I know the work it takes to do a special. I enjoyed it. I didn't see anything negative Sunday, but today I started reading the negatives and I'm like wow And you know, it's you're not gonna make everybody happy not anymore Not with the internet. You're not gonna make everybody happy and that's just the way the world is today You know
Starting point is 00:32:44 And what is Heather they're mad at him for some of his jokes? No, I didn't. Listen, I've been home. I was home for maybe an hour today. I left the house at 930 this morning. I came back here at 1 because Ari was going to meet me. So I wanted to run every errand I could, do a podcast. I had to do a ton of shit today. And I got back. I didn't see him when Ari was here He was checking his messages And I started looking at the computer and I asked him look at this shit All of a sudden there was nothing and it was just a thing on Twitter that was and then it disappeared
Starting point is 00:33:17 No, we didn't didn't really matter but I think he did a good job I Saw him do with our and the mothership. It was great didn't really matter. But I think he did a good job. I saw him do with our aunt the mothership. It was great. Yeah. You know, I mean, if I know him, he changed up a couple things, like we all do. But I saw bits of it at the mothership. I would always go out and somebody would talk to me.
Starting point is 00:33:40 And then, are you going up next to the other room? So you really couldn't focus. So I would go out there for bits and pieces. And I enjoyed what he was doing. And it seemed like it went great from what I've heard. What do you think about, because they've done a couple of them, like, what do you think about doing a special live? That's also a crazy aspect of it, of it being a one take.
Starting point is 00:34:01 That's intense. Guys, it's the future now You know I've always said We needed to spice up comedy a little bit and look at our e story color show Mm-hmm was a new realm for a long time. It was it it became a genre for about ten years when I capitalized on that John Yeah, you had a bunch of great stories. Now nobody's doing it anymore. So now we're looking for other avenues to draw people into standup.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Entertainment's changing. I don't know if there's gonna be three man shows in two years. I don't know what it's gonna be. Interesting, you think it could change that much? I think a lot of things could happen, mate? I think a lot of things could happen. I think a lot of things could happen. Comedy's changing, television's changing, movies are changing.
Starting point is 00:34:52 The way movies are shot are changing. The way they come out are changing. I would order a show for 12 episodes. And if it did well, I'd put an order in for 26 not anymore then they have the other deal where you shoot 10 episodes and Then you shoot a hundred Just to get syndication and you put the show out there and there's no art in that because what you're telling me is That you're shooting a hundred shows in no time to just get out there. Nobody's gonna remember that show.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Right, they just want the money. Like everybody else. Why am I surprised? But look, the stock market ate it yesterday. I heard that. A lot of things took a dive yesterday. Like I told you, we're expecting a fucking, a fucking, a war any day now, a bomb, something. Anything could happen. You could wake up tomorrow and there could be something. Or, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:55 Hurricane Betty comes and cleans off your fucking roof. You know, she's already turning into a one, but they're scaring white people. I love that people are stuck at the airports. Fuck them. I told you not to travel in the summer. It's a fucking nightmare. Traveling in the summer is a, you got lucky this weekend, but you also delayed for a little while. I was delayed for a little while.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Traveling blows, blows anymore. They can't handle it. It's been proven ever since COVID, they've on the part and every time it rains two inches The whole country shuts down now There's rain in the Midwest that they're already bailing out of Florida people were running out of Hurricane Betty, you know Give me a fucking breather You're so happy and I'm gonna have to travel. That's what I thought you meant when you said earlier like I'm not going anywhere I thought you meant like you don't want to get on a plane and I'm gonna have to travel that's what I thought you meant when you said earlier like I'm not going anywhere
Starting point is 00:36:45 I thought you meant like you don't want to get on a plane and I really know I don't Anywhere anymore like unless I'm really in the mood and my dick gets and I feel bad because I have a daughter And I should take it my hand. I got to go to certain places. I'll do that in time But right now in the summer, fuck you. Every day I get the Newark report, you know, 249 delays, 82 cancellations, you know. When is it going to be you? You know what I'm talking about? When does it happen? I don't want to take that chance. I don't have the effort anymore. If I booked your comedy club and it fucking, if I got delayed, I'm just gonna call you now. I left my luggage here, I'm not coming. Yeah, but the plane will get
Starting point is 00:37:38 in at nine, we can do three shows tomorrow, one on Sunday. Look, it's not gonna work my balloon is deflated okay it will set this up for six months you know that's it I don't have to pay or afford it to anymore I'm not waiting at the fucking airport for three hours I'm 61 I got no time go in ten minutes or I go home. It's fucking easy. I ain't got it Fault on my attention. I don't think this is fault on my anxiety I got the whoop watch it tells me when I have anxiety now when my stress level goes up When you tell me that plane is delayed, I just look at the whoop watch my stress level goes up. When you tell me that plane's delayed,
Starting point is 00:38:23 I just look at the whoop watch. My heart beat. And if it beats a certain drum, I river dirt sheet. I don't tolerate it no more. Restaurants, I just walk away. The other day I went to CVS, I got there 7.35. This fucking Guguts has a mask on. Right away, and I know COVID's going around,
Starting point is 00:38:44 but it's not enough to put a mask on right away, and I know COVID's going around but it's not enough to put a mask on Hmm I don't think somebody's ringing my door. I'll fucking stab I can't hear anything No, it sounds like somebody playing the xylophone. Oh, that's probably jeopardy and some jerk off is winning like hitting that buzzer That's what it is Talking about here I Don't remember to be honest. Well, we get your shit together. How many other bulls you can I won again? Yeah hundred No a hundred. We're still in that car
Starting point is 00:39:21 That's it. I can't wait to move for you to move to New York. The first week I'm just giving you an intravenous of that. Oh, Jesus Christ. I had some mushrooms for it. I had my last handful, but don't worry. The other ones are coming. These are even scarier.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Why are they scary? Ooh, these are called like omegas or some shit. I don't even know enigma enigma Whoo, and you're still eating them with a handful What's I eat them by the half? Well, I got my cup measured. That's why I learned that diabetic class Everything like a couple nuts. It's your little perform there. You know your little pump. It's like an ounce or two Yeah, but I'm not usually having you measure Psychedelic mushrooms who gives a fuck anybody who measures that mushroom to suck my dick just eat them
Starting point is 00:40:12 You know I'm saying I'm not gonna sit there with a scale and measure mushrooms and put honey on them Either you're fucking at the personal attack We're gonna sit there now and you know converse over the mushrooms and weigh them. Leave me the fuck alone. All right? Stick a handful in there, a stem. Get some stems, a couple of those fucking ugly caps in there and get back to me in the morning.
Starting point is 00:40:37 All right? That's really a lot. What a lot? You don't know nothing about a lot, cocksucker. The professionals and stuff. you know, yeah. They might go live, a lot of them. You know, I expect Bill Burr to shoot one. It's an interesting thing.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I expect Ali Wong to shoot one. Oh, wow. I expect a couple of comics to give me a nice fucking live special. Me, I don't even wanna, nah, I'm okay Me I don't even wanna know I'm okay. I'm okay guys. I'm okay I know my I was just wondering where your thought on the process was Always the same it's the same process, but usually I mean how many if you were gonna shoot a special How many shows would you take four?
Starting point is 00:41:24 Or two yeah two four If you were gonna shoot a special, how many shows would you tape? Four or two? Yeah, two, four. And you gotta take two of them just to have them in the can and then do the live one. Right. So you're gonna shoot two in front of an audience or one to get one in the can. Really, you think so?
Starting point is 00:41:42 I know so. You always shoot one to get one in the can. And then you're going to shoot the live one. Okay. And watch it there like fucking, you know, like waiting for somebody to say fuck you and they edit it. I don't know. Right. But there's no different process. I don't want to put this into people's minds. The
Starting point is 00:42:01 process is experience. That's what the process is. You know, I see a hard, a young comic having a hard time with this. This is a good thing for older, more established comics that they've done 50,000 shows plus. These guys, right? Where has done, you know, 30 years given the fucking live special. The control is there. The confidence is there. Everything is fucking there. You know. Do you think I wonder, I wonder if he was more nervous or if it was like, what does it feel like when you're shooting a special?
Starting point is 00:42:40 It's very scary. You're putting your soul out there and people are going to sit there and wait to fuck and criticize it You sit there like you go into a talent contest and you work hard and then you get there that night And it all changes, you know, I was never a good special comic and that's just the way it is. I'll take that I Will always take that I was way better on audio. It was just rough for me. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:10 You know, I thought it would be easier. But that's me. That's me. That's my weakness in stand-up. And I can't get out of that. I never shot a good special. And that's fine. I got the opportunities. I did my best. I put the work
Starting point is 00:43:26 in. It's not like I stayed at home and just went up there and improvised. I put my and that's all I'm happy with. And you get like I will. The CDs I think were awesome. I think like that's why I do think of you as someone who could thrive like that would like it would have been a cool live one to do or just like any sort of recording like like the first CD we did like the ADV or the priest that was just a win. That was one show. First two CDs I did with just total garbage. Anyway, the process stays the same. For me, I just, I was always buck wild as a comic. Right. And I didn't like, and I had my moments, man. I had great moments. But specials weren't one of them. I did very well on the Harry things. But specials weren't one of them. I did very well on the Harry things. Those are very well, and I'm very proud of that work.
Starting point is 00:44:29 I could show that to anybody and go run with that motherfucker. Yeah. Is it different than stand up? Or why do you think? I don't know. It was 15 minutes. I knew the stories close to my heart. It was a storytelling show.
Starting point is 00:44:47 They expect to hear a story and how it affected you. So it just worked for me. And when I'm telling the story and I know the end, I could improvise more and I could fuck around with the material more because I know it. I'm not gonna forget my place. And when I'm going into it, I'm still gonna fuck him up Right so so you have like you have the storytelling and then the comedy is gonna and then the comedy will come from the real story the story time
Starting point is 00:45:19 So it's very interesting. It's a it's a I think it's a fantastic process. I think that I wish, if I would have had more guidance as a manager early on, I would have been better at shooting special. But I'm not talking about a salesman manager. I'm talking about the manager that I always wanted. Somebody who groomed you from the beginning, picked you out of the choir, worked with you, the manager that I always wanted somebody who groomed you from the beginning picked you out of the choir worked with you and his belief inspired you to do better because he
Starting point is 00:45:51 picked you out of the choir he got you a little dough and now he's giving you some direction you're not going to agree with all of it we never are But after a while, you start seeing that the guy knows what he's doing. And once you give your heart to him, it's over what he's going to do with you. Those guys don't exist anymore. Because there's no money in that. There's no money. It's nourishment no more. It's let me see what I could do with you. Let me see what I could do with you Let me see what I could do with you quickly where I had a I didn't have him a friend of mine had a great Manager and I saw how he worked He signed him on a Tuesday and Wednesday. He was on the set as a sag extra making 250 now now Wow, you know Lee that's not what I want to do. But you don't like money, right?
Starting point is 00:46:45 That's 1200 three days a week is gonna let you stay in town Until I get you on the fucking road. So shut your mouth go down there and do it plus meet different casting directors So what you're an extra? 259 a manager is supposed to put the ball in your court and get it running immediately But what it was and what it is is two different things There's no money in me sending you out For a movie at scale For two days. Yeah, it's gonna build your resume. That's why I come in. I'd rather build your resume
Starting point is 00:47:23 These guys are like nah, we rather put him on the road, whether he's ready or not. And that's where it's failing. We've had this discussion many a time, you and I, about comedy managers and whatnot. And it's like people don't care no more. And that's in every avenue. We're very lucky we have a good podcast manager. Very good. She's always had our backs.
Starting point is 00:47:49 She's always believed in me and that's a great trait. And that's why I still do it. Because we have a great lady behind this. But you have to, it's like coaching. I saw what my daughter did the last year with this coach. I saw what she did with that schmuck that she was with the first two years fucking terrible
Starting point is 00:48:08 The guy couldn't get people to play for him And now he's lost two more stars in that team. He's down a one Because all of them said like we're not doing nothing here. This guy's making my kid worse. I'm trying to make you better This guy's making my kid worse. I'm trying to make you better It feels good to be right so I learned a lot from watching her Everybody you know nobody wants to take that time anymore with things because of our society we're all in a rush. And then when we fall on our faces, we wonder why. We wonder why. What the fuck was the rush? Understand it, that it's going to be there. It's going to be there. It's right there. It determines
Starting point is 00:49:00 how you take that fucking run, you know, right? I Didn't do the best journey. I was snorting coke most of the fucking time that journey wasn't pure But I don't know something hung me in there knowing that Mitchie Shaw was watching me made me better You know, there was just a lot of different variables. I Wasn't trying to make my uncle proud or my mother proud or my grandfather proud. They're all dead, you know Dead is fucking disco Really like the Upper West Side and that that was really good. Holy shit. I told you I love it up there That's why I got a cool area Fuck and area and I went to the little look. I don't want to mispronounce it, but look how we done. I was
Starting point is 00:49:47 Those pork chops were amazing. I made did you have the pork chops? Yeah, two of them Yeah, with garlic sauce and do I and I got the the next time he said he he would just give me more like a whole Bowl of garlic sauce that garlic sauce Oh, yeah, that garlic sauce is tremendous and I got the plantains and but I will say I felt I was trying to be cool because I was like okay it's a Cuban place and I asked for an iron beer but they don't have that. No they didn't have it there. No they don't have that. No none of that. No. They had a good coffee. I had a coffee and the flan was pretty good. It was heavy. My dog like the good by now I was full
Starting point is 00:50:27 So so but if I here's my question cuz they had something that I want to get but I think you wouldn't like It looked like they had they had something called a general gal shrimp and that's something that like I've dreamed about Yeah, okay. All right, cuz if I go with you and I get I don't think what I want to try next General it's like general tau chicken. Yeah, but Top shrimp. Yeah. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Okay. I don't know sometimes Sometimes like well, but even if I don't like it just eat it as long as you're not eating tofu Subway, we're good You're eating some fruit Whatever the fuck you're eating,ell subway. We're good You're eating some fruit
Starting point is 00:51:07 Whatever the fuck you're eating, you know, we're good, you know, I'm not gonna eat fruit in front of you Now you gotta eat fucking fruit. I need salad this weekend. That was so delicious. Oh, yeah I love salads and you got a morning like now I eat fruit every fucking morning Eat it every morning with my breakfast. It just is. I usually have a Greek salad, that's what I usually go for. Listen, I don't care what kind of salad you have. Greek, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, onion,
Starting point is 00:51:35 some fucking dressing, vinegar and oil. I'm fucking good to go. I love that shit. I'm good, and I was in a seafood town. So all we ate was seafood. And I gotta tell you, the first night the seafood was great. The second night I had the same dish at a different restaurant.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I shit blood. I took a shit Sunday morning, that when I went to flush it, the stick broke in half, and I'm like, this toilet's a goner. I flushed it again, nothing happened, I just closed the seal, and I checked out. Got the $20 tip For a little maid let her deal with that fucking shovel it had to be 24 inches
Starting point is 00:52:10 It just broke when I turned around and looked at it It was all the way to the end of the toilet and the head was like a snake in the water I'm like this is not gonna work. I left it for a little maid. I left the $20 when she opens that surprise It's not gonna be bueno Holy shit, I can't imagine what I would love to put a camera in that Wow, you know, what are you a B and B?

And I was dying for a roast beef, the open turkey platter over there with the mashed potatoes and the gravy and the
Starting point is 00:54:16 fucking nice. When I got there, though, I looked at that menu and that menu is treacherous because you just don't have. I don't have the time or the stomach space to eat what I want in there. Like I saw this on the menu. I saw turkey and pastrami with coleslaw and Russian dressing on rye. And my dick automatically got hot. You know like Russian dressing Swiss cheese pastrami coleslaw and turkey But I was like Joey you can't do that to your body you're working out too fucking hard What about they have something on the menu called the can ish which they just take a can ish the car We that I haven't yet.

Starting point is 00:59:27 He did something fantastic He started in a 99 seat room Maybe a hundred and eight if I'm wrong and then he put it in a 450 seat room and Then it went on and I don't know what the Vulcan seats. I don't know what you know Rogan seats But then on New Year's and New Year's Eve, he took it to a major fucking arena and sold it out No matter how you feel about a person When you're a comic that makes my dick hard
Starting point is 01:00:02 Because that lets me know I could do that People want to know why do these idiots stay out in la why they Because of people like tony Because of people like burke chrysler That was the adore man At the underground or the comedy seller And I think was like the boston or something right Steve burn were they not door guys? And yeah, they barked for sure and no matter what they did
Starting point is 01:00:30 You have to respect that journey You could sit there for hours and go. I didn't like Rogan special. He talked about listen Look at the fucking inside of that For 30 years he stuck to something. You can't stick to anything for three days. I couldn't be sober for three days. These guys were sober for, they've been doing comedy for 30 years.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Doing the same shit you were doing now, only getting treated a lot shittier., these guys did it all You know So It gave me appreciation For what I did This time I sit here and I'm like I'm a bum No I'm not a bum
Starting point is 01:01:18 I'm not a bum, I did a lot of bummy things But I'm not a bum, okay I fucking Took something I believed and turn it into something else Did I predict this? No, I Just didn't give up Why give up until the dream happens, right everybody gives on and then you're the bad guy Because you stuck with your fucking dream. Fuck you man. It's fair. And then people want to raise their hand. Listen,
Starting point is 01:01:47 you know when somebody just goes out there and just calls in it. There's just some nights, I don't see Rogan calling in. I didn't see Chappelle calling in. I didn't see Chris Rock rolling in. I never saw Bill Burrow call it in. There's something to that. I've seen a lot of comics call it. I refuse. I refuse to go on the road and make people pay for me when I don't have a decent 45 minutes.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Do you think a lot of people would do that, Lee? No, I'm sure they wouldn't. They wouldn't. I could call my agent tomorrow and get a time in Atlantic City now that you're close to me and go down there and Give you more time than me Like I'll go up there and just do 30 minutes you to do 45 get Tammy Pascatelli I've been thinking about especially now that you're moving here But for me to sit down with a pen now and try to be funny, it doesn't happen anymore.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Well, I think it's happening in different ways. Oh, I know it is. I know it is because I still laugh. Right. I self-laugh and I don't give a fuck. As long as I can make myself giggle, that's all that matters to me. I have my own fun in my own little fucking world. When people go, you get high all day, you know why I do a lot of things all day.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Getting high is one of them. And I always put it to good use. I don't waste it on video games. I don't waste it on porn. Every once in a while, I'll get on Draft Kings and make a pick. Football season's starting, so I'm very happy about that. I'm happy that the fall is coming.
Starting point is 01:03:29 You know, we're a month away, but we're professionals. We already know this, you're gonna sneeze, and this month is gone, and you can't wear white no more. Till next Memorial Day, whatever the rule is. I have no idea.

I just hear you don't know what's going on I know what's going on anymore I love it like I come home and I watch the news with my wife at night like CNN Just to get torture her and torture me because because I don't know what's going on anymore. I don't know. I don't know. It's not good. It's not good. I just don't vote anymore. I get yelled at all the time. I gave up on that shit when I was 18. I knew that was a fucking scam.

We laughed our asses off last week at my buddy's joke about The girl we can't even say this joke. It's so fucking horrible, but we were both dying and that that's good enough for me Right. It's not the size of the audience And that's good enough for me. Right. It's not the size of the audience.
Starting point is 01:07:45 I sat there openly and watched Joe special. And there wasn't one time when I would have said, I would have said this. There was a couple of things I wouldn't have said, but everything else was great. And it was great to see him up there. Again, it's great to see one of your friends doing something like that, because that lets you know that that could be you if you really wanted it.
Starting point is 01:08:10 That's why when comics hate on other comics, you're just slowing your progress. You're just slowing your progress. That's another waste of energy. That was something I went through for six months. Why does he get a deal and I don't? Why does CAA sign him and I don't I'm for that guy can't even walk into the store Doesn't matter. It's a business Just know to cover all the spaces when you go there so you don't get bitter about this shit Nothing to be bitter. You know, I have nothing
Starting point is 01:08:40 When I started comedy, I met so many fucking guys that I was like, I never want to get to that Asian do 50 and above You get in the room with them at the end of the night and it's a horror show in a condo and some D room And the blame is also always on the faggot tree. You got to be gay to live in LA. You got to do this You got to do that. You got a kiss ass. No, you got to be funny and you got to be Just by looking at you. I could tell you're a fucking bum. You know, and you see this in people. I never wanted to be bitter at this age
Starting point is 01:09:13 about comedy at all. Like to sit there and go, oh, this guy really sucked. That's not my game. That's not my game, I'm out of it. I just wanna fucking see other people do great now. Like yourself and eric rocher And i'll tell you else is picking the momentum the agostino You three guys are fucking like keeping me alive just by watching you guys

He put out a special, these guys, all you guys are doing great. And I'm happy for you.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Not one time if I sat here and said, what's this guy doing? You and I have conversations about people who would, but again, that's what keeps comics in the game When you cheer for the comics you did that open mic with That same oh, yeah, I still remember driving to gigs with this guy That was so nice to me and he had a three cylinder justy That's way before your time. That was like
Starting point is 01:10:23 92 93 it was a three-cylinder Subaru. Okay. That people bought to save mileage, you know. Every time I got in that tin can, I thought I was gonna die. And I did. I died on stage. He would always bring me to do guest sets. And then I started getting funny with him. And we both were like 20 minute fucking comics and then I got fucking I left Denver I never talked to him again and six years later he's running a club in New Mexico and I'm in El Paso and I call him up and I go bro what's up he's like Joey how are you oh my god where are you I don't know Paso featuring he
Starting point is 01:11:03 goes you're right down the corner I go bro. Give me a feature where you go send me a tape. I Did fucking how many open mics I do with you how many fucking gigs that I do with you and you want a fucking tape and he was just And then over the years I would send messages I didn't want to work there it was a shit club But I would send messages after the longest you are like I want to come down there work and for free. He wasn't having it He just did not like it and Fucked up. Listen, that's the way it is, but he ended up fucking he's selling cars now or some shit So the least you have some shit. So the
Starting point is 01:11:46 least you have on your mind on the way up, the better. All I thought about was today and tomorrow when I did comedy. And whenever somebody called me with a gig, hey, what are you doing August 14th? Yeah, I'll do it. But everything else, I don't
Starting point is 01:12:02 know. Because in the back of my mind, Seinfeld could call me tomorrow and take me on the road for a year. Why am I talking to you? Right. As a comic, you could go into the New York Comedy Club, leave there, and the next day the New York Comedy Club, like, listen, who's your manager? We need to talk to you. Okay, what's up? Fucking Seinfeld saw you last night and he wants to take you on a world tour. And you're like, but I'm supposed to be in Poughkeepsie next weekend. You're like, no, it's not.
