Starting point is 00:31:09 Right how much? Money that I make them I sold 12 tickets Thursday night 82 Saturday night Friday night and 16 on Saturday. What did I legitimately make them? Because that's it. You're a gangster and Your value to me is what you give me on Friday. Your value to me is when I come into my coffee shop and I got six soldiers coming in to give me envelopes, how much do I mean to you? Now you're in charge of book bookmaking but because you need a big envelope to get to me You're gonna start selling drugs on the side go partners on drugs do that
Starting point is 00:31:51 Because it's about the envelope, you know And I feel bad telling people sometimes Because you know that I get contacted by everybody it'd be a part of this or that and everything is on the arm? Listen if they're paying me scale Scale if you call me and you go I have a pilot and it's paying you scale Three days I'll do it for you But don't call me and say we're gonna shoot a pilot and then it's gonna get picked up later I don't I don't want to fucking hear that shit. I just don't want to fucking hear that
Starting point is 00:32:25 What we talking about the edibles are kicking it we're talking about you know clubs I I wasn't sure where you're going with that story, but you were talking about I Always go somewhere else to go back to the fucking thing and sometimes I get off the beaten pad I'm there too. We were talking about like I get off the beaten bat I'm there too. We were talking about like Well clubs not bringing you back or like and that's it you gotta ask yourself how much value that I bring to that club
Starting point is 00:32:53 Yeah, but I thought I fucking did great I got a partial standing ovation on Thursday will standing ovations don't play the liquor bitch, right? Yeah, and it's like Yeah, and it's like There's still people I learned a fucking valuable lesson in Hollywood I'm gonna say it right now So people fucking know okay, the valuable lesson was It was amazing how people treated me when I wasn't selling tickets It was amazing how people treated me when I was selling tickets For young comics before you get a meeting now
Starting point is 00:33:31 They're gonna tap into your live nation And see how many tickets you're selling And see how many tickets you sold for the year and see how many tickets you saw last year the year before To see if there was growth They're gonna look at a lot of fucking things these shows or these networks When I took I got a little shitty deal from Fox five years ago They went through everything I mean they went through everything and
Starting point is 00:34:06 It taught me that here. I was thinking if you have a good idea, they'll give you a meeting No, because a lot of people want to be in it They want to know what the where the fuck you're coming from you're gonna come to me with this idea a And you've never done nothing and As a comic they want, you know, and a lot of comics like I got an idea for a show. Yeah They'll listen but then they're gonna look at the background. They're gonna look at YouTube numbers They know look at podcast numbers. They look at fucking everything You know, I had a kid hit me up three months ago. I'm shooting a pilot I got this director you would be great in two scenes. No, I wouldn't it's not gonna help you fucking pop project
Starting point is 00:34:43 not gonna help you at all put me in that And number two you haven't sold the tickets since day one you've been doing comedy 20 years You feel like cutting through but you don't want to step on somebody's dream I Saw it Lee I saw how much ticket movement influenced everything else. Look now, listen, I haven't sold the ticket in two years, right, since Sony Hall.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And before that, it was two years before that. Okay. People don't call me. people don't check in no more The people were supposed to always on me. I could call them now and go. Hey, I'm thinking of doing this. Can you help me? I'm never here from them again Really yep, because in their mind Stand up I haven't had an audition in two months this thing started this machine started becoming noticeable About two months ago, and then I got a few offers. I don't even know if they represent me
Starting point is 00:35:54 But the funny thing was I don't really care But it just goes to show you guys without the tickets You're funny. Ha ha ha we'll go play golf But when the chips go down, you know, you can't get mad. And that's what comics will never understand at an early stage, that it's about the tickets and it's fucking sad.
Starting point is 00:36:19 You know, I had, I don't even wanna fucking tell the story, but you know, I had, I don't even want to fucking tell the story, but you know, I was a young comic. Listen, bro, I'm not into grabbing nobody's ass or grabbing the chick's tit that that's not my bag. Even when I was doing coke, I don't want to grab you and I want to suck that fucking thing and I don't want to grab your ass. I want to eat your ass.
Starting point is 00:36:43 You follow me? And you know me for a long time. I'm not even a strip club guy. Right. No. So like I said, 1994, some chick said I smacked her ass. It wasn't even the chick. It was the manager at the club that saw me.
Starting point is 00:37:00 And for 20 years, they made it like it was the crime of the century And one day I bumped into her and she asked me if I was angry around and I said no why because You threw me out of your club and I was either gonna kill somebody they're gonna kill me So you saved my life and here I am and two days later. They made me an offer now Did I change that much in 20 years or? He sells tickets now It's okay
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, exactly how much the money like overweighs morals at certain points and will overweight I felt bad. I took the money. I got at the time. I had a two-year-old But if it was any other circumstance, I wouldn't have taken the money. Because now you want to take my money now that, you know, that I'm selling tickets. But 20 years ago was a crime. For 10 years, people came in here and told you to book me and you said, no. I was banned. And all of a sudden, I'm not mad at anybody. but that just goes to show you. And I need comics, young comics, to really understand that. That we're paying attention. Club owners, club bookers, they're all paying attention to your talent. But once it gets into the meat and bananas of it, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:21 when I'm a booker and I book rooms around Boston Rhode Island in Maine I Call the club. I tell them to bring four comics in there Give them a weekly show or monthly show and they pay me a fee 350 to book the room I get ten rooms. I make three grand a month Yeah, as a bad way God forbid I go Lee you're hysterical. Give me your commission. I'll book you. He ain't gonna book you He's just taking extra money off the top He's only got 16 rooms. What's that gonna do for you? It's not even 32 weeks. It's not even 32 weeks. You can't you know, I'm saying it's 16 isolated dates. So
Starting point is 00:38:59 That's what young comics don't fucking understand. It breaks my heart. But at the same time I Didn't understand it either. But when people would talk to me about their issues, I would go, who gives a fuck, just be funny. All that goes away by being fucking funny. All the, I would hope so. All that bullshit goes away, but then now you're funny Ralphie made another guy who gave me advice one time because you're never gonna do nothing with your career because you're playing to the back
Starting point is 00:39:32 of the room He was right The back of the room don't pay your bills The front of the room pays your bills those losers in the back. Ah Yelling when you crack a joke Don't pay your bills The audience pays your bills do the material towards them, right? That's why they say when you're a comics comic, you don't sell tickets Because the comics like you the audience don't
Starting point is 00:39:59 The comics like to see what you do the audience and think you're cool by torturing them or tell them they suck dick Or whatever the fuck it is that you think but now It's like this because I talked to a lot of open micers I'm gonna open mics all the time and I loved every I love going to comedy clubs, but Those most of like they they would like this show to be good but I had certain clubs you get the impression that it's like, they don't really, if they sell out, they're much happier with a mediocre show that sells out than a great show that is like a half full.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I always rather have a great show. I mean too. Me too. Listen, I went down the route of, I can't say perfection, but I went down the route of, after a while, you start caring about the consumer. I always very much cared about the consumer in tickets. And that's, you've got to love your audience you gotta love your fucking audience you can't it for years in comedy it's you against them you ever
Starting point is 00:41:14 feel that way and come in the audience yeah it's you against them there's one part of your career which like fuck them I'm gonna guys you gotta love them for them to love you and they have to know that you love them once they know you love them don't jump off a cliff for you that's right oh I like that though what won't they do for you you know okay I was thinking of bombings like I was talking on the patreon podcast today about a bombing I took I had a at freaky Monday freaky Monday was one of the best nights in Hollywood Every was there every fucking comedian was there And I took an eight-minute bombing there one night, and I took it so personal
Starting point is 00:42:02 I took an eight minute bombing there one night. I took it so personal. And I think I was telling you, but I actually picked up and left LA and fucking went on the road to shit rooms. Because people were like, well, did you listen to the tape? There was nothing to listen to. It was just that bad.
Starting point is 00:42:19 We buddy make so many excuses for you. And I will know, it was me. That's the beauty of standup, for you and I will know it was me That's the beauty of stand-up that you have to also know when to stop and get out of your body and look inside yourself and go hey This sucks. Come on This sucks. And if you don't think I did that a lot I did that a lot. That's why I'm not going on stage now this sucks Third or what I could do This is okay what I could do this sucks I'm the type of guy could say that to myself. I ain't going fun for that audience.

I was we were supposed to go to a casino Draft Kings wasn't ready with it yet. So listen, it is what it fucking is, buddy. I'm enjoying my summer.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I'm having a great time. You know, you asked me if I still write and I told you today, I gave you a lesson that was extraordinary. You know, your first reaction to things, So your first reaction to things, wrong, right, or indifferent, is usually your best reaction. And you have to throw something deep to get a reaction. And one thing, and listen, I wasn't good at writing jokes. I wasn't good at a lot of things in the comic.
Starting point is 00:53:23 But one thing I was really good at was getting the party started with a joke that got to the issue and was short and quick. Okay. An explosive. You know, somebody said Yakima Washington the other day and I started giggling. Yakima Washington was when I started, when I noticed I could it with Josh Wolf. Okay. They gave you a hotel. Now when I was driving into Palm String, into Yakima Washington, it said, welcome to Yakima. It's, it's a hotel. It's a hotel. It's a hotel. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me.
Starting point is 00:54:06 I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I'm not sure if you can hear me. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I go to lay down. It's like 430 we get there like three hours before the show Right and the bed was so old. They had a magic fingers bed What is that? The ones you put a quarter in and moves around while you're fucking and sucking No, you call it a massage bed, but it's really like how they fucked in the 70s So you go in there with a bunch of quarters and you fucking put them in the slot and then you lay in the bed and it will chase you around
Starting point is 00:54:49 like until you get fucking dizzy and puke, right? Like an idiot. But some people use it to fuck in the 70s. Now this is 97, the bed's 28 years old or they bought it from somebody, you know. I would hope they changed the mattress. Well, whatever, it's the box spring that jolts in the fucking thing, right? So I'll never forget going downstairs,
Starting point is 00:55:09 and I said, thank you. Yakima was a great welcome. You know, I don't know if I used Palm Springs at the time, but I go, the whole time I'm staying there has a magic fingers bet. I put two quarters in it, I took a magic fingers bed I Put two quarters in I took a nap and I woke up with a thumb in my ass Hey, I don't remember the joke. I don't it was a little harder hitting
Starting point is 00:55:39 Because it was like six words to Joe You know and I still remember in the plane to Vegas with Rogan fucking 15 20 years ago, We're going to Vegas. Yeah 2004 we're going to Vegas the house of blues and I see that sign What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and right there? My first reaction was if I fuck in the ass, I'm telling somebody That was my first reaction what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but if I fuck you in the ass, I'm telling somebody I Fucking went up there with that. Bam. It worked for you. Yeah, let's fuck. Oh my god It's my first reaction and it clears the room. It tells the room who I am It lets the room know what time it is
Starting point is 00:56:26 I don't want no games. I don't want no hoops or ha's I don't want nothing Would you open with that at like the start of the show show like the three years after that I opened with that Wow, that's a crazy first joke Even though I don't like use and I used to write jokes just for that city To come out like that even though I don't like yous. And I used to write jokes just for that city to come out like that. That's crazy. And you know, and everything is nor, everything counts.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Everything, before you fly in, you go online and you get, or as soon as you land, you buy the local paper. You know, these are all exercises to write. I don't want you to write out of a paper Because then you throw away material but there's got to be one fucking article in there a guy walked into a bank with a mask of fucking of Jaws, there's got to be something in that newspaper and those people have heard it So they know by you throwing it up you just won them over
Starting point is 00:57:24 So they know by you throwing it up you just won them over So if you come out with one of those local jokes and then run it for about eight minutes and then throw their secret out That's it. Yeah, you can just take your dick out and give out sperm pills They just come up to you like when you go to Catholic Church the body of Christ the but it's like eating fucking little sperm shots to the mouth so my god Let me ask you this cuz it Would your expectation for that joke be like lower like if that joke about the city doesn't get like huge laughs It's okay because at least now like they'd like you a little bit more Is that what you're saying a little bit and if it doesn't listen very seldom listen
Starting point is 00:58:03 You don't know how many times my first joke was great that I bombed okay many a night But at that time I was just fighting for that first joke listen no matter what people say they like you within the first 30 seconds How many people walk up to you you look at me and go look at this fucking fat fuck look at it beauty Look at this chick. She needs a new shoe look at this, but you know It's the little things we say to each other They're cute and funny, but that's the same way the consumer looks at you when you're on stage or the person who's watching comedy Right. So, you know that I want to get when I walk on stage. They don't know what to expect I look like a gorilla. I got big hands. They don't know I'm Cuban. I look Italian. I'm from jerk
Starting point is 00:58:45 So I had a fucking let them know clear the air as speedy toes And that's a big one to open with but it's like it's crazy to think about like first how important first impressions matter people don't want to hear you sit if I go to a fucking green room if I get no green room and I eat the If I go to dinner Right if I go to dinner at the sushi place. Let's talk about Tempe Mm-hmm. You remember fucking Tempe improv Tempe improv for a while and all you could eat sushi who the fuck eats sushi in Tempe Okay
Starting point is 00:59:23 All right many people now so I remember going there Young comic, you know, well, I was never young, you know 1399 before the show I ate some of the sushi and within 20 minutes. I'm farting weird And I got to go on and shit for two hours and they bring me up on the stage That's exactly what I said I ate downstairs the sushi joint. I haven't stopped shit BAM and People were like yeah, I ate that too. I got sick. Yeah, everybody gets sick who eats fucking sushi and tempeh I mean, there's a long fucking time ago, you know even rather like sick in the hospital one time

He came back with some bacterial a twitch is fucking So every town has that and then oh, yeah And if you know every town has a monument every these are little things to break the ice You're not going up there with the same stupid opening joke Hi, thank you for being here. Me and my girlfriend just broke up it till we went to the guy that who gives a fuck Hit me with something that I don't know and hit me hard because I've had a rough fucking day and take me for a ride Right take me for a fucking ride people want to be taken for a ride I do I mean, I don't want you to pull up with the white van and go get in let's look now. I'm talking about
Starting point is 01:00:49 People can meet a grind. Yeah Yeah, you want it's fun, man It's so much fun and it's crazy how like I've noticed the shows like if I didn't have good energy like I didn't do as well and it's there's more to just like than the jokes and It's it's crazy. Like even just like getting energy in the room Like I've started to like try to do be more like physical. It's just there's so many things I can really like It adds to the show You've been doing comedy for seven years if you're lucky

Starting point is 01:05:09 And as comics, we don't learn to say no. But it's almost too fucking late. Right. Because a part of a comic wants to be on stage every fucking day.
