It must be crazy in Manhattan dog. I haven't been in the hospital New York knock on wood in 50 fucking years. Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't know and I don't want to know I know the last time I went to emergency. And I don't want to know. I know the last time I went to emergency in New York was when I got in there with the bottle and that was six 1970. So that's 50 fucking four years ago.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And then I went to ER like in 1982 with a friend of mine. We had to take it to the ER and that was just fucking scary we had to take it to Edgewater there's a there's a hospital in Edgewater used to be in Union City but they moved to Edgewater people always say don't go there don't go there cuz it's like part-time butchers this guy hold on we're gonna operate you in ten minutes he's getting here from his janitorial position that's fucking Safeway or. So they always tell you not to go in there, but I went in there With a friend, you know three in the morning
Starting point is 00:10:12 Somebody hit him in the nose so we were in there that was just a fucking parade of And they should take it from County jail at mid like New York City jail. Mm-hmm the hospital just what's going on? Nobody wants to see people get arrested no more. They did that with fucking cops You know now they have the live media. I don't want to see that shit I want to see people getting shot taken to the hospital The guys are smoking cigarettes outside the emergency room, you know the whole process the guy who stabbed them is Getting taken the court to get processed to see what his story is
Starting point is 00:10:46 That's a fucking cop story. See I'm a criminal. I know what I want to see but well you can't handle blood How are you gonna watch people do surgery? I don't want to see surgery. Just get them into you know You can't show the surgery. It's like the 600 pound man Don't show you them cutting into the fucking behemoth of a man They show him going into the back room It's the same thing but the process of getting them out putting stuff on him while he's bleeding the shitty saying mommy mommy You know whatever the fuck he's saying That's what I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:11:19 It badass that would be badass and then the people who did it now that they have another show called 48 hours where Something happens and you have immediate reaction to 48 hours. You guys are sitting at home Go enjoy you watch a lot of police shows. I'm a criminal You know I sit there going this guy fucked up this my favorite show on TV is I almost got away with it And they always do it out of Florida where the dumbest people in the fucking world live. I Don't get it And the show is they almost got away with a crime. They almost got away with the crime and they show these fucking People that are just fucking lunatics. It doesn't even take you five minutes to go that dudes in Florida somewhere
Starting point is 00:11:59 Fucking you know, and then they show the town and you're like damn, but it is Florida. I don't want to feel like Like, you know, but what it and like, how did they get caught? Where are they all idiots? Well, they just tell the story of them doing something and then they go on a run. Right. And they get caught while they were on the run and how they got caught. And, you know, who ran them out and it's fucking insane. I can't even imagine like the like the anxiety of that like going on a run and
Starting point is 00:12:29 Now they're talking. What do you think? Well, like isn't isn't it weird that people are talking about all this shit about what? I mean, I guess like just the crimes Like it's I don't know like the crime podcasts have like blown up Listen man, it's always been an intriguing part of Society, you know, you said it like what Charles Manson did I read that book like in high school and that was a disturbing book That was a disturbing crime. I did not like reading it. I don't like the song help the scalper I don't like nothing about this fucking shit but it was
Starting point is 00:13:09 Fascinating at some point and then when I got into it, I'm like this ain't as fascinating as I thought it would be, you know Yeah, I always loved Those like locked up shows more like they have a documentary crew in prison. I don't know. I watched all of them We're like they have a documentary crew in prison. I don't know. I watched all of them They had like locked up like Nat Geo had a couple of them and I just watched one That's great. If you ever see it on TV It's like locked up Boston and it's just like the more like the stereotypical Boston people just going crazy in prison, but I Don't know. I've always been Because it's just so far out of my realm of like so far. That's fascinating to people
Starting point is 00:13:46 It's like gangsters are fascinating to people. Yeah, you know like all that shit That's why they keep making these shows and the shows are got all yeah They keep making these shows after sopranos. It was very tough to top that in any form, you know and Then he tried to come back with a movie which I was in that didn't work out too good. There's been a couple projects that people you know, I like the Irishman a few complained about it. It was just too long. It was just too long. And you know, it's just a genre that disappeared. But still, every night there's something on
Starting point is 00:14:22 that geo biography every night there's something about mobsters is a show called mobsters There's another show that they talk and it's the same people over and over from 19 fucking 70 and 80 You know these people today don't even know these people up They don't even know they are like when you say they released that John Gotti movie Richard Walter Right, even if Jesus put away put play Gott. He only got it would have got the same response Because nobody remembers John Gotti. That was 1985 Right if these kids were you know Fucking in the grunge era, they don't remember all that shit
Starting point is 00:15:01 They were too busy jumping up and down not putting the odor in a Going to raves and shit. Listen to sound garden, you know, I was I wasn't worried about that shit and like do you do you think? It's still going on to like that level today Like like you're talking like those people who's gonna be crime Lee. Well, there's always a black market for things There's always gonna create something You know, I think about pills and how There's a big problem with them in pharmacies, but then I got at the same time There's a black market from when they get out in the black market People I I imagine people are selling them selling them stuff like that
Starting point is 00:15:41 But there's still there's got to be a leak somewhere to get everybody hooked so it's like every level of stuff, there's no more, listen, you can't use a credit card unless you use it online. Okay, it's not like you go face to face anymore and use a credit card, they'll pinch you in 10 minutes. There's cameras, there's live cameras, there's everything in the store. I went to it, I went to my daughter's softball game

I'm sitting there And then I parked by a McDonald's because I was waiting to get parking I just parked by McDonald's and I was looking at the field and I wasn't doing any crime at all I wasn't smoking that was a vision. I'm just sitting there looking at the sky and I noticed how many cameras were at McDonald's I And I noticed how many cameras were at McDonald's.

Starting point is 00:16:51 Every ring camera. So you bust into the front, the door, the back, there's a ring camera in the neighborhood that's going to pick you up. So all those types of crimes, those are high end, like not high end, those are like low percentage crimes because there's a high percentage. You're gonna get caught right? You're gonna get caught you're going into somebody's house these people doing break-ins into people's homes now in the area It's fucking crazy. They'll always be a mafia.

None of those IV companies have it like a THC trip. You would think they were yet I don't think you could shoot THC into your blood. I'm not sure I'm not a doctor. I'm a fucking stoner and I'm a already comic so don't fucking you know You know Joey said you could know I didn't say that next thing No, you're drinking bleach cuz fucking Trump told you to I was just thinking that you remember that and it's like don't man Yeah, you have to give fucking 20 times You have to tell people but people have done weird things. I mean, what's his name snorted ants?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Right. Well, I have and they have like because I did a show at one in Minneapolis It was like a weed but it was a bar again. All they had was edible drinks They had tinctures and they made it into drinks, but you would think they're gonna have that with everything. Did you ever drink attention? Yeah, yeah, we did. We have we did everything you would but you would you're supposed to put them in the water and you would Just shoot down our mouths. You would just have every open up like this is like it's almost have eight ounces of water What do you want to fucking diluted for? It's supposed to be like a sip a sip. It's not a sip I did it one morning like a 10 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Somebody put in water correctly. Right. We club soda or something. I drank only three hours later. I'm like, that ain't shit. About seven hours later, I was like. What have I done? Yeah, I was pretty whacked up. I was pretty fucking whacked up.
Starting point is 00:31:24 What I was thinking about you on the drive up. What, like if you were going to rank your favorite, what would like, what would be your favorite weed mushroom? Like what, like, is there one that like you love more? I've always loved the feeling of marijuana. What it does for me. That's always been my, since I'm 21, I'm like, I don't think I can live without it. I made a constant decision, like,
Starting point is 00:31:52 listen, now I get up in the mornings, the first four bunkets knock my wig off, but they get me going. They get me in the shower, they get me to eat breakfast, they get me to the gym. Maybe I'll do two bunkets before the gym, that'll get me in the shower. They get me to eat breakfast. They get me to the gym. Maybe I'll do two bunks before the gym. That'll get me to the gym. But that I'm just chasing, you know, if I take a breather from it and then at night, if I switch and because then I'll get high again for a little while for the eight o'clock TV rush, maybe enough
Starting point is 00:32:24 to get me to eat. So if you didn't- Two pieces of licorice. If you didn't get high, you wouldn't have the motivation to do things? I didn't say that. It's something like that, but it's a very, it plans out my day for me. Wow. It really does let me know
Starting point is 00:32:48 you know I'm sick of saying this but it's the truth. The great Bill Hicks said pot doesn't make you lazy it just makes you realize that what you're gonna do ain't worth the fucking effort. That's a great joke. That's a great joke. And the reason why it's so great is because it's very true. At least for somebody like me. It never made me lazy.
Starting point is 00:33:14 You've seen me. I go to work, Jack, but it levels out my day. Like right away, my day becomes a schedule. Okay, this schedule starts with me going for a walk. It's 80 degrees. Let me go for a walk Let me get a little vitamin D to get the blood going. I know I gotta send an email I know I gotta put this audition on tape. I know I gotta put a podcast I got a thousand things to do, but it's 80 degrees Let me get out move a little bit get a little vitamin D a boom clear
Starting point is 00:33:45 Shift you got an idea while you're walking pop your phone But the bottom of the memo and keep walking Yeah, can't with the weed. I don't have any of that that's the morning meditation for me and then my day gets planned up and What I don't't wanna do gets eliminated. That weed gives me the motivation to put together a lie. Get out of whatever situation I'm in that day to make my day run smoother.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Because sometimes I plan a bunch of shit, one at a time, 12, I get out of that 12, I get out of that one, I come home, take a shower. I got something at two, then I got three, 2.30, and then I got to be home from lunch, you got 3.15, something's gotta break. So maybe the 2.30 guy, listen, we'll do it tomorrow. Maybe the two o'clock guy, we'll do it tomorrow. When people call me to have meetings, I always don't make a day meeting.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I go, let's talk. That night, let's talk the night before. So I'm like, don't make them a day meeting. I'm gonna let's talk That night. Let's talk the night before so I know where to put it But when I wake up in the morning is when I go this is what I'm doing and this is what I'm not doing I've been going up north for three months. I have not been in North Bergen and Since February Clipside Park Rudy since February
Starting point is 00:35:10 One once a week. I wake up and I go today's the day I go up north. I gotta go to my mother's cemetery I gotta do this. I gotta see this guy Get up. I look around like oh hang on. I'm not that's an hour drive up and back And I'm in a car and it's nice out You know, we live in a fucking I live in Jersey dog and the weekend suck Beautiful I've never seen anything like this in all of my goddamn life. Why do the weekend suck because it rains every week My clockwork God damn life. Why do the weekends suck? Because it rains. Every week? Like clockwork.
Starting point is 00:35:49 One of the two days. Look at, yesterday, where it rained like half the day and it was cloudy. Today, it's gonna be fucking 80 degrees, maybe 90. Then it rains Wednesday Thursday a little Friday off and then Saturday and Sunday again Now yeah, one of those days will get sunlight But you better bet your ass. I ain't gonna be Saturday or Sunday last weekend was nice
Starting point is 00:36:20 I got a tremendous I got such a sunburn last week that it burnt through my skin here on my face I couldn't even put my sleep at me man Look, I still got scab falling off my fucking forehead the Sun at least I built a fucking layer of skin under there You said that last week. I don't think that's how skin works Anyway, it doesn't matter I'm not rated comic and I saw I'm a stone and I'm a dad. Thank God. What I wanted to talk to you about, what really happened in
Starting point is 00:36:49 common last week that I keep thinking that people keep using this as a crutch is what site though said, fine. It's time for, you know, he's promoting the show. So obviously he's been going on interviews and he's been very vocal. I haven't listened to any interviews, but I did read where he said that piece of comedy is done to something like that because of political correctness on the left or the right, which to this day at 61, I don't know what the left or the right is on that and really give fuck. And it's really crazy when I hear that statement,
Starting point is 00:37:26 because there was a period for about three months that I thought about stand-up comedy. I wasn't doing it. Guys, all I got is stand-up. You know what I'm saying? It's not like I collect butterflies. It's not like I go hunting. It's not like I... hunting. It's not like I, this was, I was a student at comedy.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I'm very proud to say I was always a very good student at comedy. Before I got on stage, I had fear. Before I went out and got on a professional stage, when I was behind jail, I had no fear because there was nobody watching, except a bunch of criminals. But when it was time to really get on stage, I prepared how I thought was best.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And I watched, I was a standup hours and hours to stand up. And I read books and I, you know, tried to write and I, you know, went to comedy shows, like when I got into comedies, when I started really going to comedy and watching people and going, Oh shit. Then I went to a couple of comedy shows and said, this guy's terrible. I don't know what these people are talking about. I may be doing comedy for six months, but this is a horror show, you know? So, but I've always been a fucking student of the game and I
Starting point is 00:38:42 really appreciate clean comedy. John Mulaney is one of the game. And I really appreciate clean comedy. John Mulaney is one of my favorites. And I appreciate Andrew. I appreciate Kenison. I appreciate Hicks. You know, I appreciate a lot of fucking guys. But as a comic, we forget, somewhere in the podcast era,
Starting point is 00:39:05 and when you do something with TV, you forget the essence of comedy. The essence of comedy is an outlaw. We were always known as outlaws. There was a room, it was a burlesque, a fucking magician that wanted to fucking rape someone because they're always wanted for rape magician Hate magicians. No, I don't hate them, but they you know, they make things disappear and then you had comedians and they each had their
Starting point is 00:39:34 Was an alcoholic this and then you put that up in vaudeville and you look at the essence of a comic and what you know They found stones with people doing comedy and the fucking you know Cavemen and shit the one like fucking whatever so it's been around entertainment's been around forever All this comedy and I'm like It's like going out with a gun and putting two securities on I went out with a gun and putting two securities on it. Like putting the security on the trigger and then having to take your key out
Starting point is 00:40:10 before the guy shoots you to unlock the thing and double check. You know, comics have been tippy-toeing a lot around that. And when I got back on stage, I didn't tippy-toe. And I gotta be honest with you, right off the bat, I got a couple stage. I didn't tippy-toe and I got to be honest with you right off the bat I got a couple of mixed reactions And it like threw me for a loop like I was like this quick like this quick it changed the time Was the people who didn't know you do you think?
Starting point is 00:40:39 Yes, and no like when I went to do the thing with birth I went off a little bit I could see people in the front like just petrified them like I'm in New Jersey Wow, okay, and then I did something with Atlantic City was a washout with Joe. I just bombed But there was something I did Bert's Okay, and what happened there? Did you think everyone there would love you? Oh I Was a little bit of a Little bit of a
Starting point is 00:41:06 Little bit of a Little bit of a Little bit of a Little bit of a Little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of older they shouldn't be there when an old guy when a 23 year old goes up and talks about sex it's acceptable because he's 23 when a 61 year old so I always tipped all around sex I don't talk about sex no it's gross it's gross to me when a guy my age goes up there why if I want to grow like I have I've been writing a thing where I have sexual fantasies I just can't fulfill fulfill them right. That's money. I'm a bum I'm a bum when it comes to that shit, you know, I'll bring my wife down. She'll tell you herself
Starting point is 00:41:52 So, uh, let's try for a mushroom Little dummy. We just we already took some mushroom now with you took two pieces of fucking yeah, too How about we gonna eat the whole bar to get warmed up? This is silly's guys. The flavors this Louie oh, yeah, baby Four grams and eat back. No, this is just a little piece. What's the matter? It's four at least there's four grams isn't four grams. No, that's why I said why is it? Why is it already? I'll give you a full Yeah, take it. Oh, this is good
Starting point is 00:42:25 Can't walk on one leg it's Tuesday 7 the mile I feel that When I was talking to a comic Sunday morning I'm not gonna fucking city and drop name I was talking to a comic Sunday morning. I'm not gonna fucking sit here and drop names. He called me to ask me about something. And we were discussing Cat Williams special. How he had the ideas, but he didn't pull the trigger.
Starting point is 00:43:07 And it's very weird when you're a young comic and you have nothing, you know, and you start now, it's right. I've seen young comics say shit that I was like, oh, and then they're never allowed to work at the club again at the open mic. It's a coffee shop and they're doing something weird. But when you've worked this hard to lose it for saying a joke or whatever, I mean, I feel, I've always felt that cat Williams is Michael Jackson bit is one of the best bits of all time. It's a fucking 10 minute rant that is brilliant on every fucking level, how you broke it down.
Starting point is 00:43:40 If you're going to talk about somebody, break down the levels and build them together and draw a picture. And he did that opens up with him talking about little Kim not being a snitch and it turns into Michael Jackson. Then it closes with him bringing women to his house with Alice and pillows. It's a great bit because he pulled the trigger and he pulled the trigger in front of a black audience on Michael Jackson Which really chopped him down the middle and he kept pushing it until he kind of won him 6040 and then he closed with that and it wasn't an even not only did he do it in front of a black audience I don't remember the year the special came up. I was Michael alive Yeah, it was a different time like now like people would still get upset now. It was alive and chicken that like that's
Starting point is 00:44:27 And that and that's what I was gonna say is not that open micers I'm gonna open my car. We should be allowed to say what we want. But the difference that I've seen is Open micers will say something like almost just to get the like the response or the shot I say yeah and it's a natural thing to do because If you're an open mic, and I see you up to four or five times, you're not taking those shots That this is all part of it and one time you're gonna take those shots that are cool and one time you're gonna go over The level like I'm sure I did. Mm-hmm. I'm very positive, but I went over a level one night
Starting point is 00:45:03 Could have been in Seattle and I don't remember at the contest, at the Seattle comedy competition, it could have been anywhere because that's where I learned my things. And then I would look at people, I wouldn't say that, even though I, you know what I talk about? I would look at people and say, I wouldn't go that way.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And if you're gonna go that way, make it a little bit more colorful. You know, PC is what you want it to be and where you're at I respect the hell out of Nate Bargartzi you know he does fucking great clean comedy man he looks good up there you know his delivery you know he he only does comedy that everybody could go watch And I respect that I respect the hell out of that I've never bad mouth clean comic like that magician. Yeah, not
Starting point is 00:45:58 a clean comic that does magic Yeah, I'll bad mouth of his dad is a magician just so you know who Nate Barghetti's dad is a magician. Yeah I didn't know that Nate Barghetti's brilliant. Oh, I like his shows He's in arenas now and he's doing these perfect shows and it works for him But and I guess that's sort of like why I asked you if the people who had that reaction to you were like your fans Because it really that really no, they weren't my fans. I was starting out. Oh, but I'm just saying like you build your audience Listen, man, I go out some nights and I've been home for three days, you know talking to an 11 year old and my wife
Starting point is 00:46:38 My neighbor whoever I talked with the gym who I talked to in jujitsu Everybody's pretty, you know calm every once in a while. I could say some crazy shit but for the most part some nights I go out to uncle Vinny's and In some nights I go out there like a fucking animal. I've been in the house for fucking four nights So as soon as I get down there after that joint after that drive Listen to Madonna burning up over and over or Alice and change when I get on stage I jump on them and I forget that they only had two guys before And I could see their faces it's like what a fucker and I'll open up with something just because I want them to know
Starting point is 00:47:20 What time it is? I don't want no charades. I was never a charade guy. I Want you to know what time it is. I don't want no charades. I was never a charade guy. I Want you to know what time it is so I fucking Come out with something that they're gonna go who? And I put the way I say it's with my heart and my balls So they never have a at least I commit to it Right and and but it's also not like filled with hate and the, but it's also not filled with hate. That takes 10 years and it's not filled with hate. There's a smile on my face.
Starting point is 00:47:50 I'm giggling. I'm baffled. You know, I'm bad, but I'm not going to go up there and say, you, it's like people with hecklers. Okay. I'm not in business to get into an argument with heckler. I'm not, I've never been in that business. I've made some mistakes. I've made some really bad mistakes, but they're all justifiable. But I never based my act on that. On getting heckled? Yeah. Like I never based my act on
Starting point is 00:48:21 fighting with hecklers. But there was one night I was opening up a Joe man and some fucking guy didn't like Joe. He didn't like any of us. And he told his wife he was going to go drink him with his friends and right before the show, he came with his girlfriend, with his wife and their girlfriends. So he was just pissed and he was just there to fucking. Let's wait till little short Joe Rogan comes on stage and all this shit
Starting point is 00:48:47 so I think Duncan opened the show and I went up after Duncan he started on me and I knew what I like I had already broken him down. I was watching him. I Knew what he was doing. There was eight women in him and he was Hammett That means he was in his friends, but he couldn't believe his girlfriend was going out to see Joe Rogan. This is 15 years ago, before I met you, it was me, Ari and Joe at either the Brea or the Irvine Emperor.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I'm watching them and I'm going, this is the type of fucking dude that his dad didn't whip him with a belt Look at this. He's upset because his girlfriend wants to go. I can see if she said I'm gonna spill 54. I'd be upset It's girls night. We're going to steal 54 on a limo, you know Lisa's boyfriend owns a hotel in the city and I'm like, oh, here we go But she's going to a county show and they're going right back to Lisa They probably had a kid together
Starting point is 00:49:47 Well, they took him out arrested him. They fucking threw him on a car car And as he was leaving The wife was outside crying and she goes he did this a month ago. Oh, no So why then why do you incite this guy stay home or get a new boyfriend? No, so why then why do you incite this guy stay home or get a new boyfriend? Well, that's and luckily like that's Not PC like unfortunately people are fucking drunk Well, yeah people are drunk, but I think a comic
Starting point is 00:50:21 Especially young comics because I know a lot of comics listen to this podcast I know that you're out there talking to them. It's for right now, do your shit. Do you, it's very hard to do and be, it's very hard to become and be you. It takes time, it takes a lot of work because we'll forget. And like, if you get into comedy at 28 32, you're still developing as a man. So, but the one thing that needs to develop is if you're going to go up there and say something that's on PC and you know it, you know it already.
Starting point is 00:51:02 You're not a moron. At least code it Code it a little bit more and say confidently like this is your belief You really fucking believe this you know because if not, they're gonna see right through and They might not disagree with you or agree with you, but they respect that you had a voice Let's see. It's fun cuz you were I don't feel like I'm I have like the personality to be like as dirty Or like even like swear as much as you like I know that I'm not a clean comic by any means But like I don't know I just
Starting point is 00:51:42 When I see you and I see me I like I'm like I don't think I could say fuck That much and have it be like believable So like I've been working on like stuff like that like like do you if I say stuff like that with confidence? I don't know. It seems false to me if I got a lot of fucking emails on patreon Facebook, you know, Twitter, not that many on Instagram from people
Starting point is 00:52:09 like with comedy shit. Okay. And people ask me simple questions that if they would have asked me when I was doing comedy eight years or 10 years, I would have been stumped. But I understood the journey now a lot better than I did 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:52:25 And part of the journey is getting to know you so you can represent you the best way you can on stage. And you might not always get laughs, but at least you're working on the best muscle you can, which is being you. I don't want you to go up there and say you don't like tuna fish. You eat tuna fish. Right. I don't want you to go up there and say you don't like tuna fish if you eat tuna fish right, I don't want you to go up there and make up a joke like Up there and fake that you don't like when your wife has orgasm and you had a life and you don't have a wife you know that Thousand things it took me years to get away from the cocaine chitter chatter
Starting point is 00:53:00 And I did for years and guess what I brought it back this year a little bit and I'm having fun with it because now I look at it a lot differently than when I looked at being off coke eight years ago. It's been 17 years and now I look at it completely different the shit I was doing at the end of fucking, you know, it was just, and I laugh, I've made it funny in my head. It's like if you watch Scarface enough, it becomes a comedy

Starting point is 00:55:36 We were talking about PC or being a comic Right now. I just want you to work your game If you put it's like people go to jiu-jitsu and they're good at it when they you bump into them at the supermoney You're like what happened? I'm scared of getting hurt. Well, if if you ever got on a bicycle and go downhill You know, you're not scared of falling off the bike and hitting your fucking head These are all the chances you take and these are all part of growth This is all part of growth.
Starting point is 00:56:06 So for a while I had a guy in my ear years ago, Joey, you're older, you got to stop going to jujitsu. You're going to break this and that. And for a while I was believing it and I would go to jujitsu and I'm like, oh, it's today the day I'm going to and guess what would happen? I get hurt because if you're gonna dwell there, then you're gonna be there. And it's the same with fucking comedy.
Starting point is 00:56:29 If you're gonna go up on stage and worry about bombing, you know what? You're gonna have 10 shows in your life that you should worry about bombing. It's none of this shit you're doing now. You know what I'm saying? Like in 30 years, there was 10 nights that my sense mattered. And the first 10 years of it, I'm lying to you, my showcase at the Comedy Store. That mattered. My showcase for
Starting point is 00:57:00 the Seattle Comedy Competition. That kind of mattered. But for 10 years, the first five or six, it didn't matter. You're with Helen's Comedy Kitchen. Do you think somebody is going to come up to you 20 years from now and go, man, I saw you at Helen's Comedy Kitchen tonight, you bomb. But that's how you think. I used to get pissed if I bombed at open mics. No.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Open mic I learned like the third year, especially when I came to New York. I started in Denver guys. So I wasn't a very secluded market. It was a one comedy. It was a comedy works in Denver, had an open mic, three minutes and comedy works in Fort Collins Had an open mic three minutes. Everybody else was bar shows and fucking coffee shops and poetry readings
Starting point is 00:57:56 And what we talking we're talking about Bombings nobody but going to New York and I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm like, really? It was a bucket. The guy, come on guys, please. So you didn't know. So I came to New York and reality set in
Starting point is 00:58:35 when I would walk into a bar and go, hi, my name is Joey Diaz. I'm visiting here from Denver. I'd like to do a spot. And they're like, absolutely. I'm like, really? Yeah. It opened with that book.
Starting point is 00:58:48 How about Thursday at six 30. Okay, you want to do 10 minutes? Okay. And on the way out, they go, don't forget, 10 people for 10 minutes. And you're like, 10 people? What the fuck are you talking about? You gotta bring 10 people.
Starting point is 00:59:02 You can guess what? I did it. I did a little stand up in New York. I did New York comedy club at the time. There was a couple of clubs that I would ask my friends, I need you guys, I'm gonna pinch and they would go, okay. And I would do it, but it was so easy, but you always had, there was always a by the way,
Starting point is 00:59:18 I remember going to a comic strip with Lucius, God rest his soul. And he gave me a pamphlet, like a fucking booklet. And he's like, you? And there were two for one tickets. And that's how you got stage time? Yeah, that's how you got stage time. For every ticket you sold, you got 10 seconds. And then if you did 10 of them, Lucius would see it. And maybe you could be a regular at the club. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:59:36 It was a grind. It was a great time. And I was like, I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. seconds and then if you did 10 of them Lucius would see it and maybe you could be a regular at the club Come on, man. It was it was a crime
Starting point is 00:59:50 So when I went by I looked and I was like, you know I told you I'm doing open mics at 11 o'clock at night. Your spot is at 2 15 Who 15 a.m. And you're out there. This is I don't even think there's a late-night open mic in New York There's a couple not many but there's like 11 p.m It was no this shit this is when they started at midnight went to 330 and Sometimes for to pick up the people before they came out of fuckers strip club to get a handjob You'd be on stage and you see a chicks hand going up and down fucking just
Starting point is 01:00:21 Insane, but once I saw ten months of that, I'm like, this shit's gotta end. I gotta go back to Denver because now I know what my mission is. This is a lot rougher than where I was. For a long time, I'm like, damn, I don't get enough states. Whoa, Nelly, this was too much state time. I gotta bring too many fucking horses to the stable.
Starting point is 01:00:42 This, I just have a friend, I call him up, and he tells me how many minutes I could do. And I had like three of those guys. So, it's a process, it takes a fucking long time and just swing with it. You know, an email the other day, that's the one I had to add to an email the other day and somebody said to me, why didn't I ever do
Starting point is 01:01:03 Letterman or Leno or something? Sometimes, you know, I get like 20 of these. So it takes me a couple of days because I gotta think about it. And guys, I write these for the book. You know, we're gonna start going through the podcast pretty soon, myself and Erica, and getting all the gems we put on here.
Starting point is 01:01:23 The purpose of this podcast was to come out with comedy ways from an open mic or a feature act to a headliner for you to make your comedy journey a lot easier. I'm not here to make it harder and a lighter or to be Johnny genius.

I had Saturday night I found the bag and that little thing next to my sleeper there that little chair of love. I Found a little sack that had some mushrooms in at one time and I was popping those grams at night And on the bottom was two fingers of dust those grams at night and on the bottom was two fingers of dust of mushroom dust and a little couple dried up caps you know like when they go to the bottom who doesn't find that at their house i did i fucking took a bottle of water and i sat there about 8 30 i ripped it open it was tasted like that it was like eating dust on an island. You know what I'm saying? I did it in two swigs And I had the weirdest dreams last night. What are you dreaming about? I don't remember
Starting point is 01:09:41 Do you realize that like some people like we just wouldn't eat that jar Like some people just wouldn't like you don't have to eat the jar random mustard, mushroom dust. It wasn't a jar, it was a baggie. I'm sorry. Okay, it was the bottom, it was two inches of dust. That's a lot of dust. It was a lot of dust. I fell asleep very easily.
Starting point is 01:09:58 I didn't need the Michael Jackson tea or nothing. I went upstairs and I fell asleep. And I remember waking up like maybe 132 going things are happening in these dreams tonight you know what I'm saying like I had a pee or something and I had to get back to the dream like I didn't even finish being I said fuck it I'll finish when I get to the bathroom at whatever party I was going to whatever that's how good the dream was but I woke up at 530 the cat wasn't there.
Starting point is 01:10:28 You know? Yeah. Cause when I get up at night, the cats usually there, but then I go pay and come back. He won't move. She, you saw she came down here before I see what we were doing. The light scatter. She's like, I'm out of here. I don't want to be on camera. You ain't paying me sag rates. Anyway, I love it. I love seeing gray. It's good. It's good. It's great to see everyone when I come down. No, it's great to have you come down and now we'll do the show whenever you come down We'll have a little home. I've been trying to look for a home down here something, you know small that I
Starting point is 01:10:55 Don't listen. I love to go into a restaurant with a nice menu and have people sit and eat and do comedy I'm not that type of comic what I'm gonna do sing why you eat? What songs are you saying I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm not doing what that dude did in the restaurant and fucking Colorado when he would come out as an all this impersonate. I'm not doing that. So I Don't even know why we brought that up. I'm just not going sorry. So that's the whole thing. I rather Excuse me Got a couple of burps from the zin bag. I mix it the mushroom chocolate Whoo, it was a rough journey a thousand milligrams. It's a fantastic fucking Tuesday. You understand me? I'm feeling tip-top Magoo and so
Starting point is 01:11:43 Should you but to continue that conversation That I thought was very important days It's that You know, I respect Jerry Seinfeld for what he said, but when he talks man people really You know listen to him. He's a master of fucking ceremonies, and I respect them, and I respect that But in perspective I don't want comics to go up there thinking they can't be themselves because then you're not doing comedy You're not doing comedy you're doing an impersonation of yourself Back to the letterman thing. I'm sorry these edibles the mushrooms were taking place
Starting point is 01:12:24 I'm sorry these edibles the mushrooms were taking place They asked me why did I ever do those shows I decided my fourth year of comedy I Was gonna give up that route it took four years to make that decision because I Started out clean and I switched to a suit And I'm not talking about so some low bracket jacket suit. I'm talking about these were fucking suits. Well, you know, I had, I didn't have money, but I had a charge card and I would buy nice suits and the guy would give me 30% off Bobby Schultz.
Starting point is 01:12:58 I still owe him 200 bucks. I swear to God, I love Bob Schultz. And I got locked up and I bought 200 bucks and I didn to God, I love Bob Schultz. I got locked up and I bought 200 bucks and I didn't go back to the boulder to pay him and we got mad at each other and I explained to him I would send it to him. And now I don't know where he is. He could be a little island for all I know who the fuck knows I mean, Bob Schultz just came into my mind now. He made the suits he had.
Starting point is 01:13:21 No, he worked out he was like the manager at this he was like the general manager at this suit place in Boulder. I met him when I first moved there in 87. I'd have money for a suit, but he was in New York and we became friends over the years and then when I didn't need a suit, maybe two years after I met him, he gave me a charge card, he goes, you're spending too much money. Let me run this card fee. I'll get you like $500 credit limit.
Starting point is 01:13:47 And I hate it because I need to close to sell cars and go to college and shit like that. And you said you were wearing a suit on stage. I would wear a suit on stage and be very clean. And then I gave that like eight months and I would notice that when I didn't wear the suit, like if I go to a regular open mic or regular place, like a bar to do comedy and I wore what I wore,
Starting point is 01:14:11 I was getting laughs. And I also realized that when I was working, a bar was working a little bit dirtier. So all that shit I was doing at my job during the week at the broker was null and void because I wasn't being myself. I was trying to be like a Dean because it was state night. Right.
Starting point is 01:14:31 So I was trying to be like Dean Martin, do 15 and then bring somebody up. But it was the same customers every week. So how the fuck am I gonna do the same material? So I had to write a new six minutes every fucking week for these people. And then I go to plan B, which is how's the steak, which is normal for a comic at that level. I was doing comedy for a fucking year. I still remember making an idiot of myself.
Starting point is 01:15:00 At the time, That's a Madonna video Called Boge and she used like little Rubber fucking pitch or something. I went up there one night with two strings with the two things to this day I want to shoot myself in the fucking head, but do you tape of it? Yeah. Yeah, I saved it It was a I thought at the time I put it at the side on my microphone stand and I fucking taped Are you crazily? It was my 16th time on stage. I was a type of guy at that time. There was no tape in my life I wasn't gonna fucking go out and buy a tape recorder and tape I knew people who did that and they drove themselves crazy. I was trying to get funny. I
Starting point is 01:15:45 Didn't need a tape. I was learning how to get funny That shit wasn't in the realm It's one thing I never put the the apple before the tree or the chicken before the egg, you know I always knew I didn't think about headshot. Listen, I started coming 91 and think about a shot to summer 95 That triple asked me for a shot What the fuck was I to get a picture?
