Starting point is 00:00:00 Music It really doesn't matter as long as you're you. How did you figure it out? Because I always wondered that because you figured it out and there was like a big turnaround. Like one day you just stopped giving a fuck. It was weird. It was a series was weird. It was a, it was a, it was a, it was a series of events. It was then I wasn't dating that dirty, you got the lighter over there. I wasn't dating that dirty bitch anymore. That clears your mind at 30%. I had let go a lot of shit that was fucking scaring the shit out
Starting point is 00:01:01 of me in LA. And that's 60% of your problem right there. Everybody had me locked in, bullshitting me that you needed to do this and needed to do that. And you, you know, and all of a sudden I'm watching you and I'm watching these guys, the, the clean, but then make me laugh, but then I'm making me laugh like the guys did a real. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:23 That took a different fucking animal. I remember us having conversations about it. Well, you were like, ah, you could go do that. I gotta, I gotta, you know, let's people watching me. Yeah, no, no, no, it was scary. It was scary, and there's no reason. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:36 It was just the bullshit that they put into your head that you can't, you can't. Well, it was no reason, but it was holding you back. Absolutely. Because people could see when you're faking the funk. Well, it was no reason, but it was holding you back. Absolutely. Because people could see when you're faking the funk. Well, not just that. Like, even once you started killing,
Starting point is 00:01:50 it was still holding you back. Like, there was still a lot of agents and managers that had a bad opinion of you. Oh, listen, they're gonna say whatever you wanna say until you deliver the goods. That's exactly what I was. That's exactly what I was talking about. I was talking to Tommy Easter today
Starting point is 00:02:05 And I go Tommy Easter let me tell you some you could be the funniest guy in this town You go in the commie store every night and Fucking destroy that room even though they're going to see dang cook A lies a slash and shit. It doesn't matter. You can destroy that room Nothing matters in this business just like the mafia to use the size of the envelope one Friday That's when they pay attention to you. That's when all those naysayers they eat their words and they jump on the ship with you Well, what's interesting is those people are almost useless now useless young comic It's it's it's this is changed. Yeah, this is changed and let it
Starting point is 00:02:47 Hey, so I know you hate this talk, but this is the reality of it because you're an intelligent guy in 2007 there was a writer strike and these motherfuckers play a game for six or seven months and reality TV crept it There's about to be another might write a strike may seven and then these motherfuckers play games The internet is gonna fuck them up. Well, where it's not gonna fuck them up as things like game of thrones or things like house of cards Like things we need a lot of money to shoot them Oh, listen when we tell you something when they're going gets rough You put together one of these late-night shows We're Brendan and Addy lighting himself on fire,
Starting point is 00:03:25 whatever, eight to 11, put a band behind you. People gonna watch your dog. The internet's gonna change the fucking game. If these motherfuckers fuck around on TV, if these motherfuckers don't settle this, and this goes on like the one in 2007. You think Periscope didn't see this coming and all these fucking companies didn't see this coming
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah, but don't you think the writers probably have a point like right? There's always have a point no There's nothing right there's always have a point But listen it's 2017 bitch He who has a tape master bait This fucking machine over here has been growing since you turned me on it. It's nothing but a wealth of information and growth that machine. And more people turn to that. You know, I don't do this. I don't do this because I'm an idiot. But people watch movies on their phones. Yeah. People watch the UFC on their fucking phones on planes. Okay, my friend. Yeah. Don't watch anything on that. Content is endless now. Content is endless. You don't need cable or TV no more. You got a phone if you're broke if you're a broke string
Starting point is 00:04:31 You got a knife on and you're trying to work things out in your life You don't need you could stream showtime. Mm-hmm. You could stream HBO You could stream my FC and you can see almost everything everything YouTube just came out with a like everyone's coming out with an online Cable service or TV service, but YouTube's is the best one out there for so far it's 30 bucks a month and you get you get I don't you don't get every channel, but you get a ton of eight you get a ton of DVR So it's starting to be where you don't even need anything anything Let them fuck around keep fucking around Keep it up. It's gonna figure this out and go with it.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I got a good idea for this. I got a good idea for that two cameras, two go pros and periscope and a drummer and you got yourself at the payment jack. For whoever, people watch it. People at home craving this are audiences not from seven to 10 no more like it was 20 years ago. Sorry. It's people from 7 to 5. It's IT people. It's people working gas stations. It's people working construction with earphones on. It's fucking amazing. The loaders at the app planes, they wave the I'm trying to get on the fucking plane. They wave a couple of weeks ago. Damn, it's weird, right? It's very weird. So it's gone to a different fucking level now. This is what we're doing, is growing every month.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Well, no one would ever allow you to do this. No. No, there's no executive in this town that would have ever said, here's what you need to do, Joey. No, they wouldn't have a camera pointer. You start smoking pot and just talk shit. Nobody believed you. Nobody would believe you. Now, smoking pot and just talk shit. Nobody believed you nobody would believe you And it's that easy. It's that fucking easy. It is for you
Starting point is 00:06:10 That easy for everybody. Well, they listen man with me. It's a shot. You have a shot with this when Marin first went to his management And said he was starting to park as they left that yeah, that's the reality of it You know, yeah, this is something that they didn't know it was coming Yeah, they go and they sit're sitting having meetings right now. What are we going to do? How are we going to get a piece of this out? Well, I know that some podcasts are sad, you know that, right? They have those acting podcasts.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Really? How do they do that? We read a play. No. Fuck yeah, they have series. Oh, well, series is huge. Huge. Huge. I firmly believe Oh, well, series is huge. Huge.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I firmly believe that the future of entertainment is audio. I honestly do, because it gives you so much more, you're so much more accessible to them. Like, you can have them for the drive, you have them throughout the work day, and then even at home, how many people do you see when they're watching TV just playing on their phone throughout the work day. And then even at home, how many people do you see when they're watching TV, just playing on their phone throughout the entire episode?
Starting point is 00:07:07 And they're absorbing what's happening through audio. I honestly think there's gonna be a lot. I've always loved audio. Oh, it's perfect. I think people don't listen enough. I love audio. I grew up on Richard Pryorowns. We grew up listening.
Starting point is 00:07:20 We have specials. I grew up listening to George Carlin. I grew up listening to, I didn't watch fucking Freddie Prince on TV with a special How many specials did we see later on? Delirious Rodney's young comedians, but that came later on Well, there's definitely a good market for audio, but there's always gonna be a market for people watching things too And if you're talking about people that are sitting down with their phones, or they're watching a TV show, like, that's so silly.
Starting point is 00:07:47 People that do that are so silly. You're playing with your phone while you're watching the walking dead, or something like that, it's so dumb. I think they're, I hate it. I don't know. Okay, it's just people are super, super distracted and childish, with the way they look at things
Starting point is 00:08:01 if you're doing that, unless it's a bad show, or unless you're watching a talk show, or something like that. Which it seems to me that, like, if you're doing that. Unless it's a bad show or unless you're like watching a talk show or something like that. It just seems to me that like if you're gonna watch a really good show you should put the fucking phone down and sit down and watch that thing. This is fucking that was fucking tremendous. I was my first legs up on them. That's the first one I ever had. That took me toward the tremendous level and I would listen to houses of the holy. I would listen to dancing days, and I was so young that I was scared of no quarter,
Starting point is 00:08:27 so I would skip over it and go to the ocean. You gotta be a certain age, listen to no quarter, you're getting ready for that. Yeah, I found about Les Ebblin from this girl that lived up a street for me when I was 13. There was a girl that lived up the street that fucked everybody, she was 21, and I was 13, and she fooled around me, but I couldn't get it up,
Starting point is 00:08:44 I was too young. But she played comfortably numb. The first time I ever kissed a checker, kissed a 21-year-old check when I was 13 and she's grabbing my deck but nothing was going on. I was panicking. But that song comfortably numb will always be associated in my mind with that girl and Black Dog. That was the first time I ever heard Black Dog.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Was this chick? She turned me on his up one. Turn me on a lot of good music, man. That's amazing when they take him. You go home and go, what the fuck was that? I was listening to it. Oh, I had no idea. Because the only music I had heard when I was 13 was probably a new kiss. I knew about kiss. I was a kiss fan already.
Starting point is 00:09:23 But I didn't know about that many bands. It was hard yet to listen to the radio. You know, you couldn't like, I didn't have friends that like turned me on to too much music. It was like, it was hard to find out about good stuff. So when I first found out about Zephyn, I'm like, how the fuck am I not know about this?
Starting point is 00:09:38 So I got my car today this morning. I ate in the morning and filled it up. You're freedom was on by the young jar. And I started singing it. And my wife is like, I'm like, when the fuck did youphier freedom was on my young John. And I started singing it and my wife is like, I'm like, when the fuck did you learn these lyrics? I go, Doug. This is sixth grade on Friday. Mr. Lovito will let me go out front of the class at one o'clock
Starting point is 00:09:54 and I would sing Philadelphia Freedom with lip sync it. And my eyes are dredged by Frankie Valley and shit. It makes you take mother fuckers deep with, with fucking the Elton John people on the mountain John Every once in a while get caught up in the mountain John I came and going to house country comfort Comfort a funeral for a friend last week something was on Daniel my friend And like and there's two gay guys live across the street from me But they're the fucking weirdest gay guys because they don't go out. They don't do nothing
Starting point is 00:10:23 They sit in that fucking household day I want to kick that door down and go you know I didn't be tell you fucking gay get out there Dick is free Spurms free you go to Santa Monica. You know what dick is free free these two gay guys stay in the fucking and they're not gay together What they're not together They're roommates. Yeah, they roommates and they never fucking go out not together. Did they roommates?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Yeah, they roommates. And they never fucking go out. Every once in a while, the daytime, they take a cruise. They're in front of the house, reading cats. So the other day, I got out of the car. I was listening to Elton John and I was blasting. I was stoned. You know, when the weed and the music just connected as one, I pulled up to the house and they
Starting point is 00:11:00 were like, out there. And I opened up the window and I go, nobody in this country remembers when that one John used to sling dick like a Motherflocker and they just looked at me look at each other when I was Nobody in this kind and nobody gave a fucking was gay like you had an idea him in Bernie twoppin We gay, but you could be but we give a fuck dog street fighting man Yeah, whatever all that shit was just brilliant, you know every any anybody that song You know that shit everybody knows that fucking jam you broke up to that you gave a girl your first hickie You think it's somebody that there's always some rocket man rocket man, too

Get a little one Well on the east coast they have cigar loungers are like whether they have like nice leather furniture and you can get a drink That's really fun. They have one right next to the improv. Do they really?
Starting point is 00:13:15 Yeah, they had that one they've had that. Yes I'm a genius. Kevin James and I used to go to fat Stogies in studio city across the street from Jerry's deli Oh, I didn't know they had them. There were so much fun. God damn it. What? God damn it. I didn't print it up. My friend sent me a poster, a picture that's really a post. He's gonna give it to me in New York of the number one pool hall in Cuba in 1951 like when it was booming dog In 1951 like when it was booming dog
Starting point is 00:13:47 200 motherfuckers in that trust Impeccably like impeccably like no jeans like suit on women with mix on little things the champagne on buckets And these motherfuckers are shooting pool and you can see like the daylight come over the beach and shit God damn cuba 19 fucking 51. Isn't it crazy how Cuba used to be like the place this was the place they all would go there. Kennedy would go there. The mob would go there.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Everybody went to Cuba. You know, afters and basses, it was just a place to go. Well, how long of a plane ride would be from I am like 20 minutes? Like how long could it possibly be? 40 minutes. It's not even 20.
Starting point is 00:14:25 90 miles. So it's from here to San Diego. Yeah, that's like not even half the trip to Vegas. They have to do a circle just to feel, not just to make it worth it. You know, listen, I mean, United has blown for years. I took him into Newark one time. No fucking TV, no fucking shitty food. First class was like fucking garbage into Newark. That's why I don't I don't fly into the North normal
Starting point is 00:14:47 You know, I love whatever virgin, but they can't get me back from the North so I'm gonna end up in Canada anyway. Yeah So no or it's not a good airport I used to bet your about it. I used to bet your body constantly fuck Newark fuck Newark You know what my life's a lot easier believe in a a land in JFK. Yeah. It really is. Smooth. Worst case scenario, you go to fucking the palms and get a steak and eggs. Yeah. Like a gentleman in the bloody marring you sit it out. Things that's tons entertainment at Kennedy. Oh yeah. You get a massage, you get your feet rubbed, they got fucking everything at Kennedy. So I thought you flew out okay. It was horrible. It was horrible.
Starting point is 00:15:32 No, I'm like you, I waited for 10 minutes. I had already a book three o'clock, but I got it at 741 and I didn't trust it. I went to Southwest Resenti. Everybody was there. When I got there, was kids at the airport all going to fucking spring break. I went to United. They had nothing. I went to Delta. Delta was done. And I went to the other one.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Jet blue and jet blue was done until tomorrow until Sunday. I was like, you know what? I got my three, four. I take my chances. Yeah. Before I left the hotel, I called and they go to the plane that you're going from to LA is already in Chicago. You can land it from Rome this morning.
Starting point is 00:16:11 It's already ready to go. It's on time. And the other one was on time. And you know what, everything was smooth. Knock on with it. It took me 25 minutes up to 4 or 5 to get on the whole month side. It was empty. Yeah, you have options in other places.
Starting point is 00:16:23 But if you fly to a place like Buffalo There's not a lot of options, you know, it's like if you're flying out of Boseman, Montana or something like that Like listen, bro I can't get a direct ticket from Milwaukee to Detroit The flight the flight is longer from Milwaukee to Detroit and whether this from fucking LA X to fucking Milwaukee really how the fuck that happened fucking Milwaukee. Really? How the fuck could that happen? I got to fly into Chicago. It's a tough business. The business of selling airline tickets and flying people around. They're gonna make money. Not really. Well, you got to think, who the fuck is flying in and out of
Starting point is 00:16:54 Buffalo? So in order for them to have packed, what's there, right? Other than the UFC, like when you have a big event or a football game or something like that. If there's not that. A lot of people connect to go to Canada, a lot of people fly to Buffalo. Those planes are always pretty fucking, airport was empty. My at three o'clock the airport was completely empty when I walked that. Everybody flew out earlier and I'll tell you what, when I landed in LAX, empty. LAX was empty. I couldn't fucking believe it.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I've never seen it like that. I was like, wait a second. No one could get back in. Have you guys ever, have you guys boy-cotted an airline? I couldn't fucking believe it. I've never seen a life out of my way this second. No one could get back in. Do you guys ever, have you guys boy-cotted an airline? Because like, it's weird, you can't. They have you over a barrel. You can get as mad as you want it,
Starting point is 00:17:32 but some airlines only fly certain places, and then the cheaper ones, so you gotta fly them sometimes. I bet a lot of people gonna boy-cut you not enough to that. Yeah, but until the next vacation, like not many people, you guys fly a lot more than most people fly. Yeah. I think when when most people fly it's just whatever airlines cheapest. Yeah, but a people have an option now I think they're gonna choose my first choice is always American. I know where I'm going
Starting point is 00:17:53 Yeah, I know where I'm going if I go to New York. I'm only going Delta or the other one America sings your boat and Virgin's great, but they're going away. Virgin's not gonna be around anymore Where they going they're merging with somebody Alaska Oh, so we are that like I don't know why. I took I took Alaska Airlines. That was the only direct flight into Baltimore. Was Alaska fucking airlines a red eye? They do. All right. Alaska does all right. And they fly me to Portland from Burbank. Yeah, they're good to see you out on really yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,, and the door goes, ah, like a Batman movie, it closes real fast. When they bring you the food, they press the latch and the door opens, and that's how she gives you the food, like prison of 44. I don't even know what you're saying. I don't even know what it
Starting point is 00:18:56 looks like. I put the sleep-batting machine right here. I think it's like a pod like those international press. I'm not even finding it. Jet blue. Jet blue. I like Delta to Kennedy. It's very nice Yeah, very nice they got to lay down bed and shit. I'm getting real tired of flying. I know I like to do a residency in Los Angeles Everybody goes to Vegas to do a residency. How many fucking people are there in LA? You could sell on LA every weekend if you had a club like just a club applied to a common
Starting point is 00:19:24 Down there getting a nice club down there everybody airport. Where's Plied Del Carmen? By our friend, that's where he has the, his Brendan has the office down there. Nice and clean down there, Joe Rogan. That's a good spot, but anywhere down by the ocean takes forever to drive.
Starting point is 00:19:39 That's what it looks like. The pod, let me see this thing, let me see it close up. Ooh, that's nice. That's jet blue. Yeah, I'm dog. I've been doing it. Is this a new thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:49 How many of these they have? They have, you can only go from here to Boston or here to JK, JFK. So the whole plane is filled with these things? No, the front row, it's like eight rows, but you get an even number and you're by yourself in the system. So it's like essentially like first class. So they're doing first class. There you go, that's by yourself. That's by yourself.
Starting point is 00:20:13 They say a little box they give you, they give you a thing to cover your eyes, they give you a blanket, they give you a pillow. The bottled water is behind your left arm. You can't even fucking see it. You know how most of none and it's got a stat. So you can put your bottle water right in there. You got movies. I saw the Godfather too on the way there. That's the refrigerator and the cheap seats.
Starting point is 00:20:35 You just refrigerator. Yeah, you just get up and help your fucking self. This is for everybody. Yeah. This is for everybody. Yes. That's so mid flight. You don't got a bottle. Nobody. You get up, you get your fucking soda. These people getting, it's 2017. Wow. But those front rows, I'm telling you, dog, tremendous. I was blown the fuck away. That's just like first class.
Starting point is 00:20:56 And that goes to Kennedy? Goes to Kennedy. But not from Burbank, me and Bosr Routin had this conversation. Because Bosch was like, you gotta get on Mint. I got, ah, Burbank, there's no mint because it's a small airport. So the bigger plane can't land on that. Oh, is that what it is at?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Burbank? Oh, that makes sense. That makes sense. I always wondered why there's no more. I did all that in Newark either. Nothing out of Burbank does? Two small flights. Two small flights.
Starting point is 00:21:23 No, JetBlue doesn't fly into fucking Newark. Well, you don't want to fly in Newark. Even if I land, even if I work in New Jersey, I usually don't fly in Newark. I fly in Newark. Have you ever flew into Atlantic City? Yes. When I did the UFC there, I did. From right from here? I think. I don't remember. I got it so long ago. I did the Bogota. Did you do the burgata with me? Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Was it fun? It was a military show. It's one of the few places. Like the burgata is one of the few places and Hanzo Gracie showed up too, remember? Yes. He was howling at your shit. That's right. That was crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I remember. Hanzo Gracie is a fucking maniac. He thought, all, like the dirtier, the crazier you got, the more he was like, he was fucking flopping around in his seat laughing. I Always walk past that place. I'm scared to walk it. Tensos. Yeah in New York. There's a killers. They are killers. They're super nice guys It's a horror. You'll get tapped out, but they'll be nice to you. Oh my god. That's just how it goes Yeah, I'm scared of those New York schools. I always make plans. Yeah, I'm gonna go over there after Norton Show and show up.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Yeah, fuck you. I got a great guy though. I get in that goddamn Uber, I shoot right back to that fairy Jack. Yeah. And I don't look back. Fuck you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:36 The person that became an hour 10 plus, they doubled the price. So, trust me. So those fees are like 9.11 fees. This time the plan of Vegas has been 50 minutes behind And they still got me here on time You know really like from out of some Vegas to Burbank. They know it's not that fucking You think you really think they did take a securitist route?
Starting point is 00:22:57 Really they kill some why would they do that? Because how guilty would you feel if you took somebody for a half hour from here to Vegas? It's not a guilty thing. It's not a guilt-tossing tool and 34 fucking hours. The fuel. The fuel costs so much money. They'd be crazy to do that. I don't know, no. Yeah, they'd be crazy to do that. The fuel is the number one problem with air travel.
Starting point is 00:23:15 The reason why they have to jack the rates up all the time is jet fuel. Keeps getting more and more expensive. Are you serious? As car fuel gets more expensive, jet fuel gets more expensive. Car fuel is not that bad right now. It's not that bad right now. You said you do remember when Bush was leaving office? Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Ron White started flying commercial, and that's when he got busted with weed, because his fucking ex-wife, I don't know her, maybe she's a nice lady, I'm just on Ron's side.

I kept in touch with him and then when I was 21 I said fuck New York people were looking for me, I gotta get out of town. So I came out here and I tried to make give this a go, you know, and he wasn't going for a job around him. He was like, you got to room upstairs, you got a week to get your shit together. You don't get it together, you know where you got to go dog. And I was like, I got to hear my mother's brother, but he threw me out, and I couldn't take it. So I tried to rob

Do you think you could ever live in Manhattan?
Starting point is 00:29:50 We had this discussion with somebody a few weeks ago and they showed the rent of where I grew up on 88th Street and I nearly shit my pants. Oh, it's insane. The same place where I grew up now, I think it was what was a 7 grand for one bedroom. place where I grew up now, I think it was what was a seven grand for one bedroom. That's not even outrageous. Yeah. The money there is so crazy, it makes you wonder how anyone getting forward to live there other than like really wealthy people. If there's any city that gives me anxiety, it's New York City at night anymore. I've gotten to the AIDS and I've gotten very comfortable here and when I go play the stand on Thursday nights, I stand on the corner before you go in. And I actually fucking can't take the cars anymore at the speed that that electricity,
Starting point is 00:30:34 I'm not used to it anymore. Yeah, it fucks with me a little bit. So on Thursdays, I don't go into the city anymore. I just wait till I go to the shows and I, you know, it's weird how you, when you're from that area, it takes you a couple of days to acclimate. Like I was getting on the ferry and I was getting bullied on the ferry. You? Yeah, getting bullied. Straight up, people walking in front of me and shit, but I'm from LA. I don't need this acclimate. I sold Thursdays. These days they were doing that? Oh, they're fucking rude motherfuckers. The people live on the Jersey side, and they work in New York, they think they shit don't stink, so they were doing that. Oh, they fucking rude motherfuckers the people live on the Jersey side and they work in New York They think they shit don't stinks. They cut you all you know and you overcome it because you're an adult and you don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:31:14 By satellite some lady pregnant with a fucking thing was trying to cut me off and I finally go oh Relax like you forget that you're a nice person. Like you forget. People not opening up doors like people pushing you like you know what? I'm from a different civilization. You know like people you forget and then you toughen up by saturday but you'll leave on Sunday anyway. So what's the toughness for? You know what I've been saying for a while? Is it what's going on in New York and what goes on the entire East Coast with the difference between the way people behave there versus out here, is that they're still too close to the people that first landed there. Like the people that first landed there, like my grandparents and their families, they
Starting point is 00:31:57 came out from Europe, Italy, and Ireland and everything like that, those were barbarians, those people were animals. I mean, you just think about life, like you're talking about the depression, right? This is all my grandparents came, like when the depression was going on, they, I mean, it was a hard, hard world. People were tough, and they were mean.
Starting point is 00:32:16 And you got fucked with, and you know, my grandfather used to tell me horror stories about getting bullied, and they call them a game-wop, like, and just mean shit and beat them up, and just everybody was mean. It was the hard day. Yeah, that's how you have to look at the hard day. The hard day in the world.
Starting point is 00:32:32 It was today, Trump would ban fucking travel to Italy. Yeah, probably though. No, I saw that documentary, and it was the most interesting thing I ever saw. And it really taught me a lot about that culture I grew up around, because it always seemed very interesting to me HBO did a two-part special on Sinatra and the first part they discussed his childhood in Hoboken and At what that time the Irish with the oppressor
Starting point is 00:32:57 The presser the oppressor so the Gideys won't allow past ninth street. Really which really fucked with them he's won't allow past ninth street. Which really fucked with them. Then stuff happened and the Italians, you know, grew and then they got past ninth street. But Sinatra always had that mentality of I was never allowed over ninth street. You got to watch it. It's fucking interesting. Plus, I understood the people I grew up with
Starting point is 00:33:19 from North Bergen. See, Hoboken is moving on up to North Bergen. We're going to have a house up in North Bergen. We're going to have a house up in North Bergen, we got a front yard. You know what I'm saying? Like half of the people I grew up with, they're roots of Hoboken. So when I watched that special, I was like, North Bergen was better. North Bergen was more residential. The way Hoboken was more, you know, tenements and three floors and, you know, yeah, North Bergen. Once they built North Bergen, a lot of people moved to North Bergen. There used to be a club there.
Starting point is 00:33:47 There used to be a club in Hoboken. What was it? It was a standup club there. I don't know, I remember. I was long gone by. They still do standup there. Danny A. L.O. has a room on Tuesday nights. They've been really trying like over the years
Starting point is 00:34:01 to do standup there. I did a benefit from the Hoboken Police Department. Oh yeah? All the long time ago. I did the club there in like 91 or 92 or something like that. And they had pictures all over the wall of the time, Eddie Murphy stopped by. I'm sorry, I remember like Eddie Murphy was here
Starting point is 00:34:18 at one point in time, like, you know, they had like a photo and it said, you know, like 1989, Eddie Murphy, you know, it was like three years ago, and I remember that time, three years ago, Eddie Murphy came down there. Fuck, I didn't know it was a comedy club in Hobo. When I started, I started in Denver, when I went back, the big club was rascals and the other one, but there was also Main Street Showcase.
Starting point is 00:34:39 It was, it was, it was, I saw Bill Bellamy on the plane one time I was talking to him about it. He goes, yeah, that was my roots Main Street showcase Bill Bellamy, I forget a little more James Moore all those guys were from that part of New Jersey and when foreign team came in here Him and no Northern are from like South Jersey middle New Jersey They moved to northern New Jersey on the apartment And they were all Jersey guys Like they're Jersey guys. I'm saying don't take them seriously. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:35:12 He was saying that they were seriously. Yeah, Norton always had that like bothered him You know funny thing you moved to New York. Yeah, it's not funny Like you have to go to New York to be taken seriously if you live in New Jersey or just a hack Telling fart jokes and shit, you know those clubs in Jersey are brutal I mean bananas is is club the one My foot really and it's brutal you do comedy of a ping pong table But if you want to pick up see I did the one in picki? I did the one of Pekipsi. I knew that one. A couple times, that's in a ballroom, we. And the next, it's next to a gas station.
Starting point is 00:35:49 That's as good as a gas dog. And they put you in a downstairs room. When I tell you, it's fucking freezing, it's fucking freezing. They got one diner in the lobby, and it's the worst food you've ever eaten in your life. Even if they give you the 30% off, you'd rather fucking started that,
Starting point is 00:36:06 that's how bad that place is. And you're stuck up there for two fucking nights next to a gas station. That's it. I worked up there with Tony V. Do you know Tony V? Fuck yeah. I worked up there with Tony V.
Starting point is 00:36:18 I was the middle, he was the headliner. And some lady kept flashing the light while I was on stage. I was supposed to do like, I don't know, 25 minutes on with that. I had like 10 or 15, she's flashing all that. And I did, I ignored it, I just did my set. I got off stage and she goes, okay, I don't know if you know how we do it here, but you can't do that language at this club. And I remember saying, like, what are you talking about? I was laughing because I was already moved in New about? I was laughing, because I was already moved in New York. I was already getting work, I already had Sussman as a manager, I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:36:51 And she was like, you're gonna have to change your act worker. I go, no, I'm not. I go, what are you, the manager here? I go, I got booked here. I got booked here by the owner of the club. I go, I'm gonna do my act. They know what my act is. I go, you don't like it, so you want me to change?
Starting point is 00:37:03 And like, she looked at me and, you know, like she didn't expect that. And I just raised my eyebrows and I just walked away. And I just finished out the weekend. And she never spoke a fucking word to me again. She didn't say hi, she didn't look at me. Isn't that great when you have the fucking? Once out, yeah, once again. I was like, I'm gonna drop a bomb on the motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:37:21 And then you just look at you like, what? She was talking to me like she was the manager at Wendy's and I was the fry boy. She was like, I don't know if you know how this works here. You know, like she's like the lady that takes the tickets. You know how those clubs are all in a hotel, you know, like bananas was in a hotel, right? Yeah, both of them. So she just decided she didn't like my act, you know, because I talked about sex. So she's just decided that I was gonna have to change my act I don't know. I'll just I'll never forget her face. I don't know if you know how we do it here But you can't do with that language here
Starting point is 00:37:53 Fuck don't waste. Let me tell you something amazing those people. It looks like an app We asked to go to hunt them beets to buy them. He brought Walnut organic Walnut and some else For the last 50 years he doesn't eat like a Cuban person. He eats like a fucking gentile from Studio City. But he goes nuts like organic milk, because whole milk makes you swell up, you can flam. I mean, he didn't stop. Every time I see him, it's a fucking he a beaten.
Starting point is 00:38:20 He brings his own eggs to a diner and makes them cook them. Yeah, he don't like regular eggs like you. He don't believe in eggs from the store. He don't think they're very different. He's got to fucking get his own eggs or they got to eat organic grass. I should have brought you over some eggs. Oh, I could just amount, how delicious,
Starting point is 00:38:36 real fucking eggs. I get almost a dozen eggs a day. And how great is it? Yeah, how great is it? 24 chickens. And how great are these? Oh, they're tremendous. They look different. The yolk is like a dark orange and they taste different. They taste better. I mean I get them fresh fresh

No, it's like sex or they just keep going laying eggs no they lay eggs every day if the hand fucks Some the eggs are live and the eggs become a chick But if the if the rooster if the rooster doesn't fuck them then they just lay eggs. I don't have any roosters So the hands just a little they lay eggs. They're just duds. They lay them every day. Oh, was it does? Yeah, they're does. Oh, wow they could never become a person a person never could become a chicken They I didn't know that either until I got chicken. Yeah, I never, I knew they did it every day,
Starting point is 00:39:28 but I was like, well that's why it's crazy that vegans won't eat chicken eggs. Like they cannot become a chicken. It's impossible. And look, if you go by my house, my chickens are like my friends. Like they come and hang out, like Jessica loves them. Their chickens are, the kids love them.

And then then night they go back in. They go back in on their own. No no drama from the animals. There's been no not from my dogs. No but there's been coyote drama and hawk drama. The hawks see them and the hawks are trying to get in on them but the area where they add there's a lot of trees and they go into the trees and so the hawks have to have an area to swoop in, grab them and and then swoop back out.
Starting point is 00:40:26 And they're a little too big for that. So now, but when they were little, there was one of them turned up missing. I'm pretty sure a hawk got one of them, one of the smaller ones, was a long ass time ago. But the coyotes, coyotes go around the fence and they look in, every now and then I catch them looking in. I'm gonna get a fucking pistol and air pistol.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Tink. Set them up. Set them up. That them up. Pull cat food out there pink pink No, my uncle makes everybody hands down look bad like he showed me dry.

They think they invented something. Me and Jack Elaine had a talk 50 years ago. He told me about juicing. Did he really ever talk with Jack Elaine? He said he bumped into Jack Elaine. He was the guy that was doing that a long time ago. He would take like a fucking giant bowl of vegetables and juicing them down. So my uncle said when he came out here in 50 something he came out here to be somebody's maintenance man He was working in New York as a maintenance man a building and an actor lived in the building
Starting point is 00:41:30 That was a soap opera guy and he goes there got a big house in LA could you come out there and be a maintenance man There's a house down the back. He could live back there It's like fucking home on living New York. Anyway, they came out here when the guy had some TV show So my uncle would go down to the studio and he said he meant that he was like in Spanish, it's really funny. He was telling me how he was an Esmeralda with Jack O'Layne. This guy used to do pushups with one fucking hand, you know, like the Cuban sats, he was a fucking savage. And he always said then that you always should eat a carrot blended or something.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Yeah. And my uncle said, but an onions. I mean, I heard Jack will ain't used to go fuck. Garlic, yeah. Garlic. It's a sh- and he, yeah, he was the original juices. So he's been juicing. He juices, he only has a certain, he hasn't eaten sugar

He was doing stunts when I like for his 60th birthday, he told like 60 boats behind him like swimming, he did a bunch of really crazy shit like that, like he was an incredible fitness, incredible shape. But yeah, it fought everything, you couldn't go near him, even when he was older, when he was older, I mean, which makes sense, makes sense. Why would he be so motivated to have such a great body like deep into his 50s and 60s? You work out that much. You know you're
Starting point is 00:43:11 fucking horny as fuck. Yeah, you test out. When you throw metal around and shit, push ups and pull ups, you guys dick for three or four people. You really do. You really do. When you live weights and shit, like when I was going at a kettlebell gym, I really like to fucking deadlifts and shit. I had dick for days. Like I could jerk off, give somebody a stab and a two, have the bang one out again, stand it up. That's the worst. You got a bang one out standing up in your bathroom, hiding against the door. Yeah, there's something pathetic about jerking off standing up. I haven't done that a long. Oh, that's a disgusting way when you have to bang one out in the shower And maybe a lady I like hotels because you lay down on Your back. It just comes like a fountain. You don't give a fuck at your own come my married friend
Starting point is 00:44:00 Since he has to do it into the toilet like he does it on his on his iPhone, and his bathroom, because it was girlfriend. Oh, that's the thing. Yeah, he should be shot in hell. Oh, God, that's sad. I would never just shoot into a toilet toilet. You got to play with it. Well, see, the thing is too about, like, when you're away, like, if you go away, like, if you do, like, a comedy or something like that, where you go on the road,
Starting point is 00:44:19 you come back home and, you know, you miss your girlfriend. You miss your wife. You're looking forward to seeing her again. But when you're with someone all the time and you can't even jerk off because like you're at work all day, you can't jerk off at work, you get home, she's home, you're there together every night, day in, day out, the monotony and the grind and then you're jerking off into a toilet. That is just something just defeating about, it takes all the zest out of life. You're just hiding in the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Why are you in there for so long? What are you doing, man? I like working. Why are you like working? I have to get a Q-tip. Why is the door locked? What are you doing? You've been in there for five minutes.
Starting point is 00:45:03 What are you doing? You can just concentrate. You've been in there for five minutes. What are you dealing? Jerking down down we're jerking Cuz you just you don't want to miss the toilet. You don't want to shoot all over the top You don't want to upper deck your load. I don't think I don't think that's accurate about that I've jerked off everywhere. I have found a way like this time you're sitting and you're like, you know what? I got 10 minutes. Right?
Starting point is 00:45:29 You never wiped off when you went to the trailer for your fact that you never wiped off when you were anything. And then off is no. Well, now you're by yourself. You ever wiped off driving? Fuck yeah. I'm not fully but I've like gotten horned up

Oh, that's fucking why. Have you really? Yeah, fuck yeah. You look for an old McDonald's bag. You wiped that fucking sperm on it. I can't never smell that when I sneeze when I'm driving. I'm in the backseat. How do you not get in there? I'm in the backseat. I only whacked off once while driving and I remember after I jerked off while I was driving I was like, great. Now I jerk off in the car too. I was thinking I was going to do this all the time and I for whatever reason I while I was driving. I was like, great, now I jerk off in the car too. I was thinking I was gonna do this all the time. And for whatever reason, I only did it once.
Starting point is 00:46:08 One fucking time. I think I did it one time and it was just- When I was driving limos. I just lifted up my shirt, shot one all over my stomach, put the shirt down, padded it down, went about my merry way. You sent a zary, who's coming back from the Ampshire? I did the week one time.
Starting point is 00:46:22 I was dumb enough to take a week because I was a cooked out fucking savage At the Houston little club the little club the little club on the south side Oh, that's the one that Ralph used to do. Yes. Yeah, so they put you up on a hotel. No, nowhere, right? It's like it's out there if there's somebody else took it over though They sold it and somebody else took it over that club was there for a long time They got a different type of audience them. Where's great. Let's just say it was completely different and a last stop So I went I went there once on day night and the owner was there and I did my set and

There's none on take the week I took the Thursday Friday and sat so I get to he I do the Thursday night. He's not there. The wife is there.

I'm looking at this couple and I'm looking at her and she's fucked up Joe She's And I'm like, oh Jesus Christ And finally I keep checking out like every eight minutes and she's getting deeper and deeper. She's closing one eye Once they close the one I
Starting point is 00:48:26 They're fucked up and finally I saw like this And she covers her Like a fucking what's that thing the kids playing like a like a sprinkler, but just awkward chunks And then she just let it all out and she sat there for five minutes. You call all over this out Bro nobody paid everybody got up like something was shooting. You thought terrorists were shooting the club Everybody got up and started running for the fucking door. They had to stop people She had a pole a bar for them. I'm the boyfriend left of that The boyfriend just got up and walked out.
Starting point is 00:49:05 He didn't know nothing. He was on you. I don't know. You didn't see me with me. Give me back my credit card. I never went back there again. When somebody pukes on stage, I can't hang out with you no more. It's amazing like the bad advice they give you
Starting point is 00:49:19 early on in your stand up career. I want to shoot a more on the fucking head. I love us. They'll always tell you, you can't make it if you love that. They'll always tell you you can't make it if you're dirty. Like they tell you can't make it. I mean I can't remember how many times I heard that. What is this fucking pipe? Holy shit. Somebody gave me an inclement. That's the savage stuff. We only let them office special occasions. It's amazing. Oh my god. The
Starting point is 00:49:42 people at home see this thing. Oh that thing is fucking tremendous. Oh I was just who did this work? You know something in Cleveland. There's a whole Industry like a whole art form now glass pipe art form industry. I mean, it's there's an amazing artists They're just doing glass. I got another one at the house. You can game me that. I don't even want to smoke out It's so beautiful crap. I need a picture this that's the savage. That's the original right there. He's missing the tooth. He don't give a fuck. What kind of advice do they give you for someone puking on you when you're on stage? They didn't say that. They can't, they can't be advice for
Starting point is 00:50:15 that. There was no advice. I walked off the stage and knew I wasn't going to be ever there ever again. You understand? But that's what I knew for sure. Look at me, John. There's some places you fucking go and you know, you never gonna go back to it. They would just tell you like, they would give you a, like when you're young, you start now, like say if you're a young guy and you're a football, you're, let me know the people, everyone, everybody that you look at, they go, what's I want to say their names, they never made it, that they'd never made the one guy that did make it
Starting point is 00:50:46 That would have already made it at the time who gave me the opposite advice was Lenny Clark It's funny because his brother Mike was a booking agent who's a great guy Mike Clark that guy paid my rent Fucking many many many many times with his gigs because he was one of the guys that he had a lot of satellite rooms He had giggles and sawas on root one. And he had a few outside rooms and he would book his brother Lenny. And Lenny was on HBO. He had done Rodney Dangerfield Special. Lenny was a big comic.
Starting point is 00:51:16 He had done a bunch of movies like Lenny was big. And this is before Lenny sitcom. And when he had that sitcom and I opened up for Lenny's at Jays and Pitsfield, Massachusetts. It was in Western Massachusetts. It was way out there, like two and a half, three hours away from Boston. And people loved it there, because it was a real stage and they had real comedy there.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Like they had Lenny Clark when Lenny Clark was big. And I went up and I opened up for Lenny. It was the second paid gig I ever got in my life. And I got off stage and Mike Clark said, body, you're fucking funny, but I can't book you, you're too dirty. And he goes, that bait you do about Madonna, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:51:54 It's like, it's funny, but I know you gotta clean it up. You gotta clean it up. And so Lenny comes off stage right after his brother gives me advice. Lenny goes, I'll say, he goes, can you a fucking hilarious? He goes, don't change a thing. Holy shit, that Madonna bit had me laughing at my balls off.
Starting point is 00:52:12 And he goes, Lenny, I just told him to stop doing that bit. He goes, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He should probably stop doing it. It's gonna be hard to get work, but fuck kid, you're funny. And it was like a good advice and bad advice, and I listened to Lenny. I was like, you know, his brother's a great guy and everything like that, but Lenny is Lenny Clark.
Starting point is 00:52:31 So to have Lenny Clark tell you you're funny, I was like, wow, that was huge for me. But his brother was giving me bad advice. He was like, but he wanted me to work, you know, but that was the thing back then. It was in 1989 or 1988. Back then, you couldn't work if you were dirty. Like there was no work. Everybody wanted to get on the tonight show. There was a few HBO specials
Starting point is 00:52:50 that had been given out like to Kinesen and a few other people but you had to be somebody to get those. If you wanted to be dirty you had to be somebody already. So what it was was a lot of these guys who were you know quote unquote dirty they would have clean sets that they would do on the tonight show you know, quote unquote dirty, they would have clean sets that they would do on this, and I'd show or lettermen or whatever, and then they would have a few dirty bits that they would reserve for a nightclub,
Starting point is 00:53:11 and they would close with those bits. So if they ever did an HBO special, that's when they would do those. I knew I had to be dirty three years in, like I was just lying to myself. People would come up here with that fucking bullshit, and I gave it a new York try. I tried it I tried it, but it just didn't work out for me. I'm not gonna ask you to do a joke But like what was a clean premise for you? I don't know a clean premise for you to be honest. That's old weed
Starting point is 00:53:38 a clean premise in those days was Jesus Christ a clean premise in no other whole a clean premise in those days was a Godzilla. Oh, what would Godzilla do? You've got to look at this thing. You guys are advanced here. What would Godzilla do if he came back into the Hudson? You know, it was terrible. It was terrible. It was totally terrible. I had a thing about a ship going into the Hudson. I had a thing about speakers. You could put them back in the windows because bowls, something electric. It was just a horror.
Starting point is 00:54:15 It was a fucking horror show. I can't imagine you making electronic jokes. My old Joey used to try to be clean in the early days when I first saw him. It was a nightmare. Joey was trying to deal with agents and managers. When you first moved to LA. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:54:33 When you first became friends. Yeah, you were dealing with all this equipment. And one day you go, you know what? It really doesn't matter. I never had that in the world. I went to karate since I was a kid. Nobody's let me do these things. Nobody's laughed at you.
Starting point is 00:54:45 You know the differences? One of the big ones is in karate. You don't want anybody hitting you. People hit each other. You heard each other. There was a camaraderie that we had in martial arts, but it was always still a little weird, because you would spar.
Starting point is 00:55:00 And when you'd spar, you'd hurt each other. And the digits you spar, and you could be real good friends. You could go full blast. And like the better you get, actually the safer it is to go full blast. Because like, I know that there's certain guys that'll get you in something and you could tap and they have full control.
Starting point is 00:55:16 You're not going to get hurt. It's almost like the guys who aren't as good are more dangerous because they're going to try to yank on something. And they could wind up injuring you. So like when you get guys who you become like real competitive with and you get that camaraderie, it's actually better and you're super, super competitive with each other, but always super supportive and really friendly because you can be like you want a guy to like you, you want to like each other and you can still go full blast.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Like I have real good friends tap me. You know, it's not a bad thing at all. It's not a bad thing. I love it, I love it. Hey, it is what it is. You know, like at least tap me every time we've rolled. I mean, I may be one or two times ever rolled with them and just stalemated them,
Starting point is 00:55:57 like kept them off me, like being just 100% defensive. Most of the time, it catches me two or three times every time we roll. But we're best friends, you know? A a million guys from that jam it's the same story like Danny Danny's caught me before and you know he just won the greatest guy or he just won yeah he's had a lot of neck problems set some neck problems lately I want to update we worked on the breath of fire he's a bad mother fight you're broken the breath of fire cock sucker I bad motherfucker. He's a bad motherfucker. You were broken the breath of fire, cock sucker.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I don't know what that is. Well, we'll do it tomorrow. Joe Rogan, I love you. I love you too, brother. We'll have him the clock. It's fun to do this, man. Yeah, yeah, no. Thank you for coming to the...
