Summary
In this episode, the brother and sister duo of the talk about how the drinking age went up from 18 to 21 years old and how this has changed the way we think about drinking and drugs. Also, we talk about the new laws that have been passed to make it easier for people to get into drugs and get out of jail before they turn 21 and how they should have been harder to get out before they turned 21 and what they should be doing to make sure they re not doing drugs and getting out of prison before they're 21. We also talk about some of the crazy things that have happened in the past with regards to the laws that were passed and the ones that have gone into effect since then and why they should not be allowed to drink alcohol before they are 21 and why it s a good idea to have a legal drinking age of 21. We also get into some interesting stories about the Dukakis's and the Nixon's and how it affected the way that we grew up and the way back in the 80's and 90's and talk about drugs and crime in prison and how we should have a drinking age from 18-21 years old!

Transcript
00:00:16.000
I have not fucking had a drink of the whole fucking...
00:00:19.000
The whole COVID? The whole COVID. I didn't drink before that either, I don't think so.
00:00:25.000
Every night I go home, I'm going to have a makeup because Heineken makes a light.
00:00:31.000
They make a double zero that actually tastes good.
00:00:35.000
Heineken has, for sure, the best non-alcoholic beer.
00:00:41.000
If you were an alcoholic, you'd be like, oh, my God, I fucked up.
00:01:09.000
It's kind of like that smoke juice you put in meat.
00:01:19.000
It's so crazy how beer, like I grew up on six-packs and eight-packs.
00:01:29.000
And then you went out to Colorado and they had 3.2.
00:01:40.000
Then when you turn 21, they give you the full dose.
00:01:43.000
There used to be a club on the hill, I forget what it was, in the University of Boulder downstairs, and that's what they served you.
00:01:52.000
Right around the time I was turning 18 was the time they made it 21 years old.
00:01:58.000
When did Massachusetts make the drinking age from 18 to 21?
00:02:17.000
Okay, it's 1979. They've raised the drinking age from 18 to 20. Huh.
00:02:30.000
And he raised it from 20 to 21. Dukakis also fucked up.
00:02:35.000
He gave out furloughs to prisoners and one escaped and killed somebody.
00:02:41.000
When I got to a halfway house, everybody was mad at Dukakis because you couldn't have furloughs no more.
00:02:52.000
I forget the whole story, but I know that people in prison were furious because they couldn't go to fucking on furloughs no more.
00:03:00.000
Because the caucus let him go for like four days, like a fucking, you know, like Club Med for four days.
00:03:07.000
I ain't gonna let him go to Club Med, and that was the end of that tune.
00:03:10.000
Well, they're releasing a lot of prisoners right now because of COVID. They're opening up the doors.
00:03:19.000
That came out of jail and shot the motherfucker who accused him.
00:03:24.000
Yeah, I don't know if this is the best idea, kids.
00:03:27.000
Because a lot of those people are very violent.
00:03:31.000
If you're letting out some dude who sold weed, you should have let him out a long time ago.
00:03:35.000
You know, you're letting out some guy who's selling mushrooms.
00:03:38.000
Don't keep him in a fucking cage with people who are murderers.
00:03:44.000
You've got to let out the people that are non-violent drug offenders.
00:03:54.000
You know what the big thing in jail is sometimes when you go to county?
00:04:00.000
There's motherfuckers that can't stop getting DUIs.
00:04:03.000
I think my ex-brother-in-law has the record in Colorado.
00:04:10.000
Like, there's people that stay in the system because of the DUI problem.
00:04:14.000
You know, they gotta blow into a tube before they start their car.
00:04:19.000
Yeah, they got all types of shit, and then they put you in work release.
00:04:26.000
Then, you know, they have different levels of it, you know?
00:04:30.000
That blowing in the thing, it takes some time, too.
00:04:33.000
So if it was cold out, like we were playing pool, and I go, how long does that take?
00:04:40.000
Because it has to check to see to make you all right.
00:04:45.000
Like if someone's chasing you, you hop in the car, you got to blow in the thing, get the car to start.
00:04:50.000
He used to just pay people $5 to blow in there.
00:04:57.000
Do you have an idea what happened this weekend in Chicago?
00:05:04.000
There was a shooting, and then there was some crazy looting.
00:05:08.000
And Jamie was the first one to tell me that there was like an incorrect story.
00:05:12.000
The incorrect story was that a 14-year-old girl was shot.
00:05:17.000
I heard, yeah, a 15-year-old was shot and killed by the police, but it was misinformation that was...
00:05:21.000
I don't know how that got out or who put it out initially.
00:05:24.000
I didn't find out that part of it, but it was actually a 20-year-old that was not killed and was in the hospital.
00:05:35.000
We're one of those away from this whole fucking thing exploding in different cities again.
00:05:40.000
Why do you feel this strongly about Los Angeles lately?
00:05:46.000
Ever since the Houston trip, you've been a different person.
00:05:50.000
Well, I've been thinking about it for quite a while.
00:05:52.000
I've been thinking about leaving L.A. for a while.
00:06:05.000
I wonder if it's a coincidence that so many people that live in cities have like...
00:06:27.000
And then the states are all, you know, the surrounding area is red.
00:06:32.000
But I always used to think that that was because they were smarter.
00:06:35.000
I just think that they were more educated, so they're more likely to be Democrats.
00:06:39.000
Because my family was Democrats growing up, and I always felt like that was the people who were really interested in freedom of speech, really interested in education, really interested in welfare and making programs for poor people and prison reform.
00:06:59.000
So why the fuck are they all lumped up in cities?
00:07:02.000
It's because that's where all the universities are?
00:07:04.000
But there's some universities that are in the middle of nowhere, too.
00:07:12.000
If you're just looking at people, it's odd that these big giant clumps are almost always the lean Democrat.
00:07:20.000
And then when shit like what's going on now happens, where you have violent reactions on a regular basis, like on a regular basis, there's riots on a regular basis.
00:07:30.000
There's crazy shit going on in Portland and Seattle.
00:07:40.000
You see a fucking looting and a riot and a building on fire on TV? You don't even flinch.
00:07:51.000
There was a standoff with the feds and a compound, and there was a guy who thought he was Jesus who was fucking everybody's wife, and they had guns.
00:08:03.000
94, 95. Hicks was alive because Hicks talked about it on stage.
00:08:13.000
It was like Hicks and Kinison died within a couple of years of each other.
00:08:16.000
It was Waco and then the Oklahoma City bombing, which blew our fucking minds.
00:08:22.000
93 and then 94, 95 was the Oklahoma City bombings, which really...
00:08:30.000
The Oklahoma City bombings are very interesting.
00:08:41.000
There's people to this day that don't believe that that was just a car filled with some sort of explosive that did that.
00:08:49.000
The most thing I remember that fucked with me- They say it's too uniform.
00:08:57.000
And I remember I bought a big batch of coke and I cut it and I was trying to sell it.
00:09:02.000
And I did the whole bag in four fucking days just watching the coverage on this.
00:09:07.000
There are some fucking insane people out there.
00:09:10.000
And there are people that are so insane they'll plant a bomb In front of a building and blow the whole side of it up.
00:09:21.000
And then you had the Unabomber around that time.
00:09:29.000
The problem is like eyewitness reports after traumatic events like that, they're always off.
00:09:33.000
People always like, you know, they don't know what they saw.
00:09:37.000
And you can tell them what they saw and then they'll repeat what you said.
00:09:44.000
So you don't know who's telling the truth and who's...
00:09:46.000
But there was a lot of people that were saying they saw people carrying off bombs that were unexploded.
00:09:50.000
They saw the FBI carrying off bombs, like that there was more than one bomb.
00:09:55.000
And then the way it looks, if you look at the way the building exploded, the way they were explaining, I was watching something on it, that the way one of those bombs would go off, if it was just a fertilizer bomb, it wouldn't necessarily go off that way,
00:10:11.000
where it looks like the whole side of the building is going out.
00:10:13.000
You know, that it would be located, the blast would be, all the damage would be where the truck was located.
00:10:20.000
But being a moron and not knowing shit about explosives, I don't know if that's true, but it does get interesting.
00:10:34.000
You could do that with a truck and some manure?
00:10:45.000
Can any crazy fuck just fill a pickup truck up, fill with fertilizer, do what they have to do to light it on fire and make it explode and blow up a building like that?
00:10:55.000
The one guy was a suicider or he just left it there and detonated it?
00:11:04.000
Then they caught him, the one guy that was a pair.
00:11:08.000
They were part of a paramilitary group in the hills of Michigan or some shit.
00:11:13.000
There's something extra spooky about those white dudes who live in the woods who are plotting to overthrow the government.
00:11:19.000
There's something extra spooky about those guys.
00:11:22.000
And that's what you think of when you think of Timothy McVeigh.
00:11:34.000
That was a guy who got in a standoff with the cops, with the federales, and they fucking shot his wife while she was holding the baby.
00:11:46.000
I forget exactly what it was, but it was an egregious overuse of power.
00:11:55.000
And the people eventually shot back, and then...
00:12:02.000
If you give people that kind of power, you don't know exactly how they're going to wield it.
00:12:07.000
You give people the power to pull guns out and storm some fucking cabin in the middle of the woods.
00:12:11.000
Some people are more than willing to shoot people.
00:12:21.000
This was a live press conference that got put on like every news channel.
00:12:32.000
I think he was like his mortgage broker or something like that.
00:12:34.000
He got taken advantage of and so he kidnapped him.
00:12:40.000
And he took over all the airwaves to get his story heard.
00:12:57.000
When I looked him up, I think he was alive, yeah.
00:13:00.000
This is the creepiest start any podcast I've ever been on in my life.
00:13:06.000
Some poor fucking governor with a gun to his fucking head.
00:13:18.000
And all of a sudden I come into bombs and fucking explosions.
00:13:26.000
We're getting the fuck out of here because all you need to do is hook a fucking left on La Cienega and then hook another left on Melrose and drive and play a game.
00:13:42.000
Think about the last time you were at the Improv.
00:13:45.000
Close your eyes and think about the last time you were at the Melrose Improv.
00:13:50.000
When you go to Melrose now, think of the last time you were there, and think of how long it's going to take for Melrose to be like that again.
00:14:00.000
That is why I am leaving, because of things like this.
00:14:03.000
I see an 18-month comeback, and that's a guy with a GED. I see it.
00:14:13.000
That's assuming everything goes well and everybody does the vaccine.
00:14:16.000
Or some people say it's going to disappear on Election Day.
00:14:26.000
But I'm looking at this as an 18-month recovery.
00:14:31.000
West Hollywood is going to be last because of the supermarket situation.
00:14:36.000
They had 29 infected employees and they spread it throughout the community in Hollywood.
00:14:50.000
Joey, you just went off on Joe about starting this podcast off with bad news and now you made me feel worse.
00:15:03.000
And the other thing that bothered me was the no school.
00:15:10.000
You're homeless for 24 hours there and then you disappear.
00:15:12.000
Let me tell you something about Burbank, though.
00:15:14.000
Burbank, every time I go, I go to Burbank just to look around.
00:15:29.000
Like, when you go on that street, you feel two things are coming.
00:15:34.000
Every time I'm on Magnolia, I think of an earthquake.
00:15:41.000
And then you see those people lining up for guns.
00:15:46.000
Oh, there's three of them right around me, yeah.
00:15:50.000
I was driving the other day, 9.30 in the morning, there was a big line in front of Peterson's trying to buy guns.
00:15:58.000
I follow all the gun shops around me, and they all have Instagrams, of course, and they show all the guns they got in for the day, and I'm like, oh, you know, I might get one of those, and then an hour later, it's sold out like shoes.
00:16:09.000
There's a line constantly on all three of those gun stores.
00:16:17.000
We didn't have a plan if everything went sideways like this.
00:16:21.000
And you can't, like, governors and mayors, it's their fault, right?
00:16:28.000
That fucking job is a ridiculous job in a pandemic.
00:16:32.000
All of a sudden, there's a new problem that's presented with you.
00:16:40.000
And you're in this situation where a large percentage...
00:16:43.000
It didn't turn out to be as bad as we thought it was, but they thought it was going to be a large percentage of our population could possibly die.
00:16:51.000
Governors, even though they are in that position, they're in that position because they got elected.
00:16:57.000
They're not in that position because they passed a battery of tests and show that they know exactly how to respond to any given circumstance.
00:17:09.000
And then you become a mayor and then you become a governor.
00:17:11.000
But it doesn't mean you know what to do if things go sideways and no one knows what to do.
00:17:15.000
And the fact that they were always getting those checks.
00:17:20.000
No matter what happened, no matter what shut down, they kept getting those government checks.
00:17:24.000
And they told all these other people they couldn't work.
00:17:30.000
You can't tell people, you can't work, but I'm gonna keep getting paid, and I'm gonna tell you when you can go back to work again.
00:17:36.000
Like, you can't just keep everything shut down for five months.
00:17:42.000
I don't know what the proper response would have been.
00:17:50.000
And again, not a fucking word about your health.
00:17:52.000
Not a word about taking vitamin D. Not a word about exercise.
00:17:58.000
Not a word about, use this as an opportunity to lose weight.
00:18:07.000
Everything's wear a mask and you can't do this and you can't do that.
00:18:15.000
People think that they wanted to sabotage the state or sabotage the city.
00:18:39.000
Newsome looks like you could smoke a joint with him.
00:18:46.000
What about the fucking DA's husband's getting charged with assault because...
00:18:52.000
Jackie Lacey's husband is getting charged with a misdemeanor assault because when they went to his house to protest, that brother pulled out a piece.
00:19:04.000
And they took a picture of him and they charged him with misdemeanor whatever, assault.
00:19:16.000
The mayor of, or the head of police of Seattle just quit.
00:19:27.000
Well, you know, the cops, they see the writing on the wall.
00:19:30.000
For whatever reason, people decide they hate cops now.
00:19:37.000
You know, the problem with being a bad cop is it can ruin a person's entire life, ruin the life of a family.
00:19:46.000
When you see someone abuse someone like that, like what we saw, it's natural to get upset.
00:19:55.000
And I think that's a crazy way of looking at things, and they're figuring that out right now in New York.
00:20:03.000
My friend John Joseph, you know, he lives in New York.
00:20:25.000
It's like these guys, I mean the criminals, they don't give a fuck.
00:20:30.000
They're stealing catalytic converters in my neighborhood.
00:20:35.000
Catalytic converters are going like fucking hot kids now, okay?
00:20:41.000
Like when I was doing coke, I was thinking about bringing it to the White House, shit like that.
00:20:45.000
But who would rob a fucking catalytic converter right off the street?
00:20:52.000
They sell it, and that's how they're making a living.
00:20:55.000
Studio City, the last week, they've been hitting neighborhoods.
00:20:58.000
So if you park on the street, they clip your catalytic converter.
00:21:03.000
Everyone has Nest Cams now and home security cameras.
00:21:05.000
So next door has become my new fetish of just watching people's home security of people walking in the neighborhood doing nothing.
00:21:15.000
Our friend's martial arts school got robbed the other night.
00:21:23.000
She dialed 911. They put her on hold for an hour.
00:21:34.000
Always call the non-emergency line, by the way.
00:21:37.000
And always press 2. And always press 2. You want it in Spanish.
00:21:43.000
For you fucking unemployment dummies that haven't gotten unemployment.
00:21:48.000
You gotta press 2. Speaking Spanish, they get answered quicker.
00:21:57.000
Press 2, if you speak Spanish, the lady's gonna answer, and you're gonna talk to her, like, halfway, like, me no sabe, and she'll fucking give you your paperwork, and next thing you know, you got your unemployment.
00:22:10.000
But everybody presses one like a fucking knucklehead.
00:22:13.000
Think about press Spanish and see how quick they fucking pick up the phone.
00:22:17.000
Isn't it crazy how everybody went from everything's great, the economy's great, we hate Trump, but other than that, things are great.
00:22:26.000
And then all of a sudden everybody wants a gun.
00:22:34.000
They're watching that video of live footage, you know, that scared a lot of people.
00:22:39.000
They also know people who have died, so they're scared to go to work.
00:22:45.000
Everybody knows somebody who's gone because of COVID or knows somebody.
00:23:02.000
This company started in 1773. That is fucking delicious.
00:23:20.000
Like, if they have a weed scam today, they used to have a booze scam.
00:23:23.000
You could distill whiskey for medicinal purposes, like a doctor could prescribe it.
00:23:30.000
You go to the doctor and cut your script for some whiskey, I guess.
00:23:36.000
What the fuck do they use whiskey for for medicinal purposes?
00:23:44.000
When I didn't have insurance, when I was a young comic, if I had a toothache on the way home, I'd stop and get a little pint of Jack.
00:23:57.000
A couple bumps to numb the head, and you're fucking good to go.
00:24:02.000
Something about losing your teeth that's extra creepy.
00:24:15.000
You gotta watch an episode of My Name is Earl when I go, I sing a song at the end.
00:24:28.000
I had already quit coke two weeks and all of a sudden, like a month later, I see that episode and I'm like, oh shit.
00:24:41.000
So I went to the doctor for something different.
00:24:49.000
Like this idiot sent me to like the, you know, your friend's dentist.
00:25:04.000
And the doctor said to me, what are you going to do about that little cocaine tooth?
00:25:08.000
And he goes, yeah, I had one of those at one time.
00:25:11.000
That's the best when the doctor cops are doing drugs.
00:25:23.000
One that I grew up, and I would see him out of clubs, and he'd come up to me.
00:25:27.000
I was 21. He was like 50, and he'd come up to me.
00:25:30.000
He'd go, what do you got for the head in Spanish?
00:25:43.000
My one family doctor, whenever I went to see him, the best, 20 years as a doctor, I couldn't give him nothing hand to hand, but I walked into his office, put it on his desk, and then I go to the examination room.
00:26:02.000
I remember one time I went in and he's like, listen man, I found one of your brownies one night and I ate it.
00:26:09.000
Next thing you know, I was making a steak sandwich at four in the morning.
00:26:20.000
He's got three stents in his heart from doing blow.
00:26:30.000
Joey, what do you think happens to the country?
00:26:33.000
Yeah, how does this, when you look at it, how does this even out?
00:26:37.000
Listen, first of all, I'm going to be as honest as I can with you.
00:26:40.000
I don't know what red means and what blue means.
00:26:43.000
I grew up hanging out with guys that were Democrats.
00:27:00.000
I couldn't imagine the thievery at the presidential...
00:27:08.000
I couldn't imagine what the thievery was, okay?
00:27:32.000
I got a drug that is going to hook people, is going to fuck people up.
00:27:41.000
Joe Rogan makes a few calls and gets that drug passed.
00:27:44.000
And every year I donate five million to Joe Rogan.
00:27:49.000
It's in the same fucking neighborhood, my friend.
00:28:09.000
I see, you know, yesterday somebody put a thing up and they said that they shut the clubs down in San Diego.
00:28:20.000
And a lot of people said shit to me and I'm like, I'm not saying because of that.
00:28:28.000
I think that if you're in a parking lot doing comedy, and a guy just went home and his wife broke up with him, and all of a sudden he checks the mail, he's losing the house, and he gets in his car to go for a ride.
00:28:40.000
You know, how many farmer's markets do people get hit at with cars?
00:28:44.000
People have been running through people lately.
00:28:46.000
I don't want to see some guy run through a parking lot in La Jolla and hit a bunch of people watching a comic.
00:29:11.000
There's a lot of things going on in people's minds.
00:29:13.000
You know, people snap on a daily basis as just getting caught on the 405. Expect a huge amount of people losing it.
00:29:27.000
I get up in the morning, I do some shit, I do two bong and I get on a mountain bike.
00:29:33.000
But I got on a mountain bike, and I go all the way to cold water, and I come back, and I get vitamin D, and then I wash my pussy, and then I do what I got to go do.
00:29:44.000
I don't watch no TV. I don't want to hear it no more.
00:29:48.000
World News Tonight is the number one watch show.
00:29:56.000
The TV wasn't allowed in my house until 6. Now it's 7. And then I don't watch Jeopardy or Game of Fortune.
00:30:02.000
That shit fucks me up because it makes me feel too old.
00:30:19.000
So when I was a kid, if you watched Jeopardy, you were an old person.
00:30:22.000
So every time Jeopardy comes on now, I get pissed off.
00:30:27.000
Because when Jeopardy comes on, 7 o'clock, you and I are getting ready to go on stage.
00:30:39.000
What I'm saying to you is, for the last 30 years, you and I, at 7 o'clock, a certain adrenaline goes into our body.
00:30:53.000
At 7 o'clock, something would happen to me that it would change.
00:30:56.000
I'd go from being a dad, husband, all that shit, to being a murderer.
00:31:06.000
7 o'clock, you start thinking about new things, you know, the toilet paper, fucking, you know.
00:31:41.000
Well, we've got to take it away in the nicest time ever for comedy.
00:31:44.000
This is a thing for people that didn't go to the Comedy Store, that weren't Comedy Store regulars.
00:31:49.000
There's an image of the Comedy Store that I think is from the darker days.
00:31:52.000
Where people thought of the comic store as that the comics are mean and shitty to each other and that it's like the industry never goes there.
00:32:00.000
It's like a dark place, like a dangerous place.
00:32:02.000
But when we got shut down in March, those last few years were probably the nicest, friendliest years in the history of the store.
00:32:13.000
There were so many people that were supporting each other.
00:32:16.000
And because everybody had podcasts, like, everybody kind of fed off of each other doing that, and so it was beneficial to everybody to pump you up, like, you let me know about Jeremiah, you let me know about Tony Hinchcliffe, we let each other know about these guys, and everybody sort of circulates, and everybody does well together.
00:32:38.000
Everybody was like, I love that new tag or this or that.
00:32:42.000
It was one of the most positive places I've ever been to in terms of a community for comedians.
00:32:52.000
For the first year I was back, I was like, I can't even believe I'm back.
00:33:04.000
I feel my whole time at the Comedy Store, which is 23 years, was pretty fucking good.
00:33:11.000
You know, I didn't come out here to do anything.
00:33:24.000
Yeah, but I always knew, Joey, your thing was always that you would come from a very unsteady base.
00:33:32.000
You were like a loving guy, but you had to get to know you.
00:33:40.000
But there was just like the bridge you had to cross.
00:33:46.000
Not as funny as you, but I knew people that were brilliant but crazy in the same sort of a way.
00:33:52.000
It was always like their childhood was all fucked up.
00:33:59.000
And when you develop like that, when you grow like that, in such a chaotic experience like yours...
00:34:10.000
But when you get through, you get through with gifts.
00:34:13.000
It's harder for you than a person that had your normal Norman Rockwell mom-and-pop sort of a life.
00:34:30.000
You grow up like that, and it's very hard to right yourself as an adult.
00:34:35.000
Because all of us come out of our childhood, which we don't really have any control over, who our parents are.
00:34:40.000
We have very little control over our experiences when we're kids.
00:34:43.000
But we come out of that shit shaking, like when we get onto the road finally, Not everybody comes onto that road with the same amount of stability.
00:34:52.000
Like, some people come on that road and they're like, my mom is awesome, my dad and my mom love each other, yay!
00:34:58.000
And other people are like, who am I? My uncle fucked me, and I'm on coke, and I'm only 15, and there's a lot of those people out there too.
00:35:11.000
A matter of getting your life in a position where you feel like you can make good decisions and you're in control of it.
00:35:21.000
And I knew when I met you, you were a good guy.
00:35:28.000
I just questioned how long I was in the last year.
00:35:35.000
I thought this was just going to be a fluke and I would end up in New York selling coke.
00:35:49.000
I became a regular February 19th on my 30-something birthday.
00:35:57.000
And everybody kept saying to me, has Mitzi seen you?
00:36:09.000
I had to follow Mooney every night and Dave Tyree and A bunch of crazy people after 11. It got crazy in there.
00:36:16.000
And then Holtzman would go on and clean the house.
00:36:24.000
Then we saw the other phase with that fucking Mutt LaRange and his little crew.
00:36:31.000
And then came the Adam fucking era, which was pretty fucking goddamn special.
00:36:41.000
Tuesday nights were fucking just, like, you had to go down there prepared for war.
00:36:46.000
Like, Tuesday nights, when you, you ever see, like, Rambo, before he's going to go somewhere, or the Expendables, they always see him sharpen their knives and setting all their equipment up and shit, like, before they go to war, Bradley Cooper and the Sniper.
00:37:11.000
Like, you know, Tuesdays, you had to go down there and bring it, bitch.
00:37:17.000
But then on the other side of that, it started becoming monotonous for me.
00:37:22.000
It was like I was on the road or I was at the comedy store.
00:37:26.000
I was on the road or I was at the comedy store.
00:37:30.000
I didn't do anything else for like 3 or 4 fucking years.
00:37:35.000
I wish I would have gone to more parties maybe.
00:37:41.000
When I went to New York last year to shoot The Sopranos, I saw my friends.
00:37:47.000
And I saw how they live now and who they were now.
00:37:51.000
We went to a different great restaurant for dinner.
00:37:55.000
And I'd be happy as fuck that they were yawning.
00:38:02.000
And we would go our separate ways and I'd go back to my hotel and I'd go, that was tremendous.
00:38:08.000
But I went out every night with a different one to a different restaurant.
00:38:14.000
You know, it just became something different for me.
00:38:19.000
I would go to Texas with you and I'd be, you know me, dog.
00:38:25.000
I want to go to somebody's house and have the feast of the seven fishes.
00:38:38.000
I've been gone since 83. I went back for 18 months of homelessness and then 9 months in 93 to become a comic, to do open mics with Mike Pichetti at the New York Comedy Club across the street from where Castellano got shot.
00:38:55.000
Then I went back to Colorado and got into fucking, you know, with the X and the ba-ba-bop and the fucking smacking the guy and then getting thrown out and...
00:39:04.000
I ended up in Seattle, and then two years there, then Stanhope lured me down here.
00:39:15.000
In Seattle, 96 to 97. He's like, you're wasting your time up here.
00:39:21.000
But I had worked with him like the time before that.
00:39:24.000
So he's like, I got bunk beds, you're wasting your time.
00:39:28.000
I gotta go down there and shoot a pilot anyway.
00:39:34.000
Thanksgiving, the night before Thanksgiving in Seattle.
00:39:40.000
And someone from CBS wanted you to do something?
00:39:45.000
And I got off stage and the guy was like, listen, I've been looking for a guy like you for three weeks.
00:40:02.000
They wanted my character to be Spanish, but they didn't want him to look Spanish.
00:40:10.000
It was a show called Bronx something, something.
00:40:14.000
And I came down and I was the worst actor in the world.
00:40:22.000
All the cops and DAs were coming to the bar and I would chit-chat, give them information, sell shit.
00:40:29.000
And every day that I went and rehearsed, every day they took a page out.
00:40:36.000
By the time they shot the pilot, I had no lines.
00:40:44.000
I was staying up till 6 in the morning, going there at 8. What's-his-name was the director.
00:40:52.000
You got to think about this one because he's big time.
00:40:55.000
He played a doctor in the movie with Tom Cruise with the naked women when the chick has a heart attack.
00:41:06.000
And Tom Cruise has to help him with the chick because the chick is dead.
00:41:21.000
What's the movie with Tom Cruise where he sneaks into the party and they're a bunch of freaks?
00:41:28.000
He's married to the fucking Australian chick at the time.
00:41:42.000
But whoever played the doctor, that he has the girl all coked up.
00:41:53.000
He was the one that kept saying, I shot my wife.
00:41:57.000
The mailman, and I was already going down, so I shot the maid, too.
00:42:01.000
He was the doctor, and he turns his shades, and he goes, he tells him, Dr. Friedman, that guy, he directed me in this.
00:42:10.000
And he loved me in the beginning, and at the end, he wouldn't even look at me.
00:42:18.000
How can you put me on CBS? I just came, I've been doing comedy six years.
00:42:30.000
But that was the first time when they say action, I go, what?
00:42:35.000
Like, an athlete, and then they're really good.
00:42:43.000
Like, there's a lot of athletes have done, like, who else has done, like, amazing jobs?
00:43:14.000
Think about how many rappers, high-level rappers, became high-level actors.
00:43:27.000
What about the one where he played the junkie with the guy and the hot black chick?
00:43:31.000
How crazy is that that Tupac was a huge movie star as well as a huge rap star at the same time?
00:43:46.000
That was one of the most ridiculous movies of all time.
00:43:50.000
But it was interesting to see the two of them together.
00:43:56.000
Did you ever see how big Mickey Rourke was in that movie?
00:44:05.000
And the guy next to him with the white shirt, that guy was married to Tracy Lourdes.
00:44:19.000
You were playing the drums and jumping up and down with him, talking about vitamin supplements.
00:44:32.000
That guy was one of the best looking men that ever fucking was in that movie with Mickey Rourke.
00:45:14.000
He played Mickey Rourke's brother in this movie.
00:45:17.000
And the other thing was that he was married to Tracy Lourdes.
00:45:42.000
Is that that dude, is that that guy, Ben, the guy who's driving the car?
00:45:52.000
They did a 7-Up commercial, and they told him to get the fuck out of here.
00:45:55.000
How do you win an Academy Award and do like a Shasta commercial?
00:46:00.000
They shut him down after he did a Shasta commercial?
00:46:15.000
I know she took things out of my nose that would need it to go.
00:46:22.000
I did the antibodies test, but then a dentist told me, she goes, Joey, the antibodies is no good then.
00:46:34.000
It shouldn't be in your blood, so that's why I did the swab, to be honest with you.
00:46:49.000
The best way to find out, right in front of you.
00:46:53.000
The best way to find out, apparently, is you draw blood, and then they do an analysis of the blood, but the pinprick is FDA approved, and the swab lets you know if you have, like, recent infections.
00:47:04.000
And I got to tell you right here, because you know I'm a man's man.
00:47:12.000
I want to apologize to him, because, look, he did it right.
00:47:21.000
And unless everybody adheres to the bubble, then it's not going to work for him.
00:47:27.000
You haven't heard from Tyler Perry any complaints.
00:47:42.000
Yeah, that's why a lot of them, and they're trying to do it fucking, you know, and people are showing up going, this ain't going to work.
00:47:59.000
16 days from when they pick you up in Van Nuys.
00:48:14.000
Group A, Group C, Group B. You can't mingle with B or C. And you got access to a mall, a hotel, workout, little area outside.
00:48:38.000
I don't want to do movies, and I don't want to do TV, but I got to finish this movie.
00:48:42.000
I thought that I read something in the LA Times that said that by adding COVID to movies, it's going to add a million dollars to the budget.
00:48:53.000
Like, it's going to cost a million dollars to do it properly.
00:49:07.000
So, for you to shoot a real movie like that, you have to have two nurses doing COVID tests.
00:49:15.000
They got a one at the White House that takes 20 minutes.
00:49:18.000
They're hiring fucking out-of-work actors to get certified online.
00:49:24.000
Then they put them on the set to do COVID tests and fucking, you know, separate it.
00:49:37.000
Well, the problem is if you catch it and you are not healthy, you don't have a good immune system, you're older, you're compromised, maybe you got some sort of a condition already, it's not good.
00:49:51.000
So asking people to work Where there's a 1 out of 10 chance, or 1 out of 20 chance, or whatever the number is, that you might catch it.
00:50:05.000
The question was, hey, do you want to work at UPS? I'm like, how much does it pay?
00:50:15.000
Like you might catch this disease that you die from.
00:50:17.000
It's not likely, but everyone knows someone who at least knows someone who died from it.
00:50:22.000
So it's like, fuck, how bad do I want this job?
00:50:25.000
Or you could stay home and take $600 from the government or whatever it is.
00:50:30.000
Most people are going to take that money, downsize your life and just figure out a way to save money.
00:50:38.000
Because if you worked at a supermarket, it used to be you just worked at a supermarket.
00:50:42.000
It didn't used to be you come in contact with someone that might have something that can kill you.
00:50:49.000
But that does not give you any comfort when you're lying there with tubes in your nose.
00:50:53.000
If you're one of those people that gets it and gets it real bad, like Michael Yeo, and you're in a hospital, and you think you might be going...
00:51:04.000
Frankie, Big Balls, and Chris were sitting in the green room together that Friday night.
00:51:17.000
Big Ball, Pete, Lisa Lanfinelli's ex, great guy, he got it.
00:51:25.000
And as his last blog I read from him, he was on oxygen treatment.
00:51:32.000
Michael Yeo was here months later, and he said he was still struggling with fatigue.
00:51:39.000
When I saw him, if you saw him, you would think, oh, he's 100% recovered.
00:51:43.000
He looked like he was ready to go do a triathlon.
00:52:04.000
And I know, yeah, everybody, man, everybody should have the option.
00:52:11.000
It's not like, this is not a normal, it's not a normal scene.
00:52:15.000
So if you don't want to work, how much does the government have to give you a week?
00:52:21.000
We should figure out how much money is necessary.
00:52:27.000
You can't just have people broke like this for five months and not even let them work.
00:52:39.000
And you look at the restaurants, and the restaurants are open.
00:52:42.000
You and I try to support restaurants, fucking Tacos 86. Three or four times a day.
00:52:50.000
Brian's like, I abused my body just to support them.
00:53:02.000
I try to support the local restaurants, but I know they're making ugats.
00:53:23.000
Out of the country's finest public servants as my running mate.
00:53:35.000
Yeah, she was that lady that got into it with Tulsi Gabbard.
00:53:44.000
One of them might be the Vice President of the United States.
00:53:46.000
And I think that fucking Trump won the election on Saturday when he gave people money, because money talks and bullshit walks.
00:53:53.000
If I got a check in the mail from Trump for 600, he bought my vote right now.
00:53:58.000
The thing about it is, though, I think it relies on the state paying 25%.
00:54:10.000
When you add up the state income tax with the federal income tax, it's in the neighborhood of 54% with an increase, yes.
00:54:20.000
Look, they're trying to figure out a way to buy the way out of some of the problems that we have.
00:54:41.000
But somebody has to do it and they have to do it right.
00:54:48.000
No one's telling us how to get out of this economically.
00:54:51.000
No one's telling us how to get out of this health wise.
00:54:54.000
This is the first time we've been caught with our pants down.
00:55:00.000
I can't really be mad at anybody because everybody got caught with their pants down.
00:55:06.000
How we've handled it at times is kind of weird.
00:55:25.000
Now places that weren't getting it are getting it again.
00:55:32.000
And the problem is, if the country's locked up, and we basically are, a big percentage of everybody's locked down, and we're economically fucked, and we're scared to do things, so we're probably not that healthy.
00:55:48.000
And there's not as much money and people aren't working well.
00:55:53.000
Like, the country's only strong if everything's strong.
00:55:56.000
Like, the economy's strong, the military's strong, the government's strong.
00:55:58.000
When the economy's fucked and the people are unhealthy, That's the backbone of the whole country.
00:56:09.000
We're like, oh, we don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:56:15.000
History is countries figuring out ways to dominate other countries.
00:56:19.000
Who knows what they're doing today to each other?
00:56:22.000
I mean, we hear about, like, Russian interference.
00:56:23.000
Who knows what kind of fucking viruses we have on our computers?
00:56:27.000
Oh, that mail-in fucking thing is going to be a party and a half.
00:56:35.000
Already the post office is running fucking blind.
00:56:47.000
What if it turns out the post office is the best way to do it?
00:56:50.000
Maybe it takes more time, but maybe they're better at it.
00:56:53.000
Oh, bro, you never stuffed boxes for $20 and looked the other way?
00:57:06.000
I was a Cuban kid that stumbled upon a fight one day and stuck up for an Italian kid, and they made me part of their family.
00:57:13.000
But the other part of their family was that they were political.
00:57:16.000
And he was the other side of the wing for politics.
00:57:20.000
Remember, there's a mayor, and he shows up with a guy like you that's intelligent, but then he also has a guy like me.
00:57:39.000
Then his son died, and I really became his son.
00:57:47.000
Put $50 in your pocket, and that's all I went and did.
00:57:55.000
I still remember how I met most of my friends today were from that election.
00:58:00.000
The 76 election, column A and column B. And I mean, they were battling on the street.
00:58:07.000
I don't have to tell you about Jersey knuckleheads.
00:58:09.000
You know, we were throwing rocks at each other.
00:58:11.000
And then at night we were paid to go rip down your signs.
00:58:15.000
And then the next night your people ripped down our signs.
00:58:18.000
And then whoever puts a sign of each one on, we all have a fucking memory of that.
00:58:26.000
So if I side with Joe Rogan in North Bergen and Joe Rogan loses, I'm going to as well pack my bags because they're going to demote me from a teacher to a janitor.
00:58:39.000
So they would all put signs on their lawn for the guy that they support.
00:58:49.000
They come to your house, they knock on your door and they tell you who you're going to vote for.
00:58:58.000
Your brother-in-law needs a job to retard, right?
00:59:00.000
Sounds like a nightmare place to live, by the way.
00:59:15.000
Listen, in Hudson County, Jamie, if you'd like to verify, no mayor in Hudson County has ever just vacated.
00:59:28.000
The active mayor in North Bergen now is very good.
00:59:44.000
In fact, they just had a write-up about the New York Times where most of the people are moving to.
00:59:50.000
It's my hometown, North Bergen, and down the hill, Edgewater.
01:00:09.000
All the Knicks, all the Nets, all the baseball players live in Edgewater.
01:00:16.000
All that Hudson County, Hoboken, where Gino's a cop and all that, that's Hudson County.
01:00:21.000
They play by their own rules, G. They do it a different way.
01:00:27.000
You gotta pick a side and if you don't pick a side and that side loses, boom.
01:00:30.000
You gotta live in that hometown to work in that hometown.
01:00:44.000
Those guys that put their hand on the back of your neck, those guys that tell you, this is what we're going to do.
01:00:52.000
And they're holding the back of your neck, and you're like, what kind of conversation is this?
01:00:55.000
Like, you're not squeezing my neck yet, but it seems like, what happens if I don't vote for this guy?
01:01:01.000
Bro, one of the most interesting ones that you've never watched, but you should read about, I think Jamie has watched, is season two of Narcos when they rigged the election in Mexico.
01:01:12.000
And they try to do it with the computer and they get busted.
01:01:15.000
And then they actually just sent narcos to the fucking voting stations.
01:01:19.000
They put a gun to your head and go, put another zero next to that number.
01:01:25.000
In 1987, the elections in Mexico were so fucking crooked because the government that was coming in was going to side with the United States and that could never happen.
01:01:41.000
And when you watch it play out in the series, you're like...
01:01:44.000
But when you read about it, you're like, what the fuck?
01:01:57.000
And walking out of here, like, it was that cold-blooded of an election.
01:02:01.000
The fucking guy had to resign years later, but it was that brutal.
01:02:05.000
Because they figured they weren't going to win the election in Mexico City.
01:02:10.000
So they went to all these farmer places, and all those motherfuckers got beat up.
01:02:26.000
Tremendous storyline on how they needed that government to win so they could keep getting drugs into this country.
01:02:34.000
And how the CIA was even involved in that election, but it was the narcos who went out to the small villages And fucking put guns to your head.
01:02:47.000
It is one of the craziest things about being an American is that we're connected to a country that's feeding us drugs and is run by cartels.
01:02:59.000
Bro, they had a town in Mexico during this that the cartel said if they saw you on the streets without a face mask, they'd shoot you.
01:03:10.000
It was such a small village that it would have destroyed the village, so the narcos got involved and said, if you go out without a face mask, we'll put a bullet in your head.
01:03:21.000
There's something about people who have power, whether it's you're the mayor or the governor or you're the narcos or you're a cop, something about people having that kind of power over your life like that with just a finger on the trigger, it's too much for most people to handle.
01:03:41.000
Most people should not have the ability to just shoot you.
01:03:48.000
You come at them with a taser, they can shoot you.
01:03:51.000
They need to make a freeze gun, where you can just freeze them.
01:03:58.000
Joe Rogan, nobody could call a cop's life until you're a fucking cop.
01:04:04.000
It's too hard to understand what that job's like.
01:04:15.000
Because I can't, nothing bothers me more when I see a blogger or an announcer that's never done a jumping jack.
01:04:21.000
And he's trying to cover the UFC. Nothing bothers me more than that.
01:04:32.000
I saw how they had to blow steam off because of the things they saw.
01:04:39.000
They were all bad lieutenants, if you want to call it.
01:04:43.000
The job itself, unless you're doing it, man, it's weird.
01:04:50.000
You live in a different world than everybody else.
01:05:02.000
I even had a cop pull over to a Chinese restaurant one time and let me get food handcuffed.
01:05:15.000
When I went to jail, I went to jail on my own accord.
01:05:22.000
When they interrogated me, oh, I'll light you on fire.
01:05:25.000
If you want to get interrogated, you interrogate me.
01:05:28.000
I'll talk to you about the Cuban Missile Crisis.
01:05:34.000
Those two white dudes in Boulder had them confused to death.
01:05:44.000
The one cop I faced on Facebook and started torturing him.
01:05:47.000
What is he, some dumb dude trying to interrogate you?
01:05:51.000
He lives in Telluride, and he was involved in the JonBenet Ramsey case.
01:05:56.000
So when I mentioned this name on a podcast one time, people started sending me messages.
01:06:00.000
They go, you know, we go to school with this kid.
01:06:07.000
They feel like his kid became a criminal, but the dad has gotten him out of trouble all his life.
01:06:14.000
So the same people from Facebook hit me one day and they go, your buddy the cop retired.
01:06:20.000
So I sent him an email, hey, on Facebook, hey, listen, congratulations on your retirement.
01:06:28.000
And I know he read it, but he didn't fucking reply.
01:06:34.000
I put him, dog, listen to what I did to that dude.
01:06:40.000
There was a big white dude that The white dude, this is the fucking crazy thing.
01:06:46.000
I was not wanted, but I was questioned on the credit card situation in August of 85. Somebody had destroyed that mall with a credit card, and somebody said I fit the description.
01:06:59.000
So these two cops with uniforms kept asking me questions.
01:07:16.000
So they kept saying, pretty soon we're going to start getting the receipt and you're going to have to go in for whatever.
01:07:22.000
And they were coming every day and shake me down.
01:07:24.000
And I would go, guys, if I was a fucking credit card thief, would I be working for a locker?
01:07:35.000
That one cop even came to my house on a Sunday night, knocked on my door.
01:07:40.000
And said, we're getting the jean sizes tomorrow.
01:07:45.000
I'm like, dog, you got a warrant, get the fuck off my doorstep.
01:07:47.000
That night, that morning, I went to San Francisco.
01:07:55.000
He doesn't remember me from the credit card thing.
01:07:59.000
The whole time I'm sitting there going, when is this fucking cop gonna remember me from the credit card thing?
01:08:07.000
When I turned myself in, dog, and I pressed that buzzer and they opened that door, all the cops drew their guns on me and said, get on the floor, because I was wanted for kidnapping and kidnapping too.
01:08:18.000
They didn't know what I was packing, what type of person I was, so they handcuffed me, put me in a room that was white, made me wait for a half hour, then they came in and played their technique, which I've been doing to people all my fucking life.
01:08:31.000
I'm the one that would break into Joe Rogan's house and steal one shoe.
01:08:36.000
You take an ounce of Coke and you steal one shoe.
01:08:41.000
You steal that one favorite pair of shoe, you take one shoe and you throw it away.
01:08:48.000
For years, they'll keep looking for that one shoe.
01:08:51.000
And then every time you see them, you'll find that shoe.
01:09:03.000
They get me into the interview room and they ask me what's going on and I'm talking to them and I go, I don't know what happened.
01:09:07.000
The guy showed up, the guy pulled the gun, next thing you know I was home.
01:09:12.000
And they're like, so what happened to the guy with the machine gun?
01:09:25.000
I was just fucking with them because I wanted to get out because Don Johnson was marrying Sheila Easton on Miami Vice that night.
01:09:32.000
I had to be home by 9. That's all I cared about was his wedding.
01:09:37.000
I'm like, I'm just going to go in there and talk to them, tell them the truth that, yeah, I went over there.
01:09:49.000
So we went back and forth for like six hours and I still remember them sitting there like with their hands down and me talking about like, you know, my uncle came from Cuba in 1952 and he worked for fucking this guy and they're like, what's this got to do with what we're talking about?
01:10:11.000
And I would just give him, like, Red Band's driver's bike.
01:10:20.000
But I would tell him that Jamie was running kilos internationally from Europe.
01:10:42.000
I'm telling you he runs Big Coke from Columbia.
01:10:47.000
So you were just making up this crazy narrative of feeding it to these yokels.
01:10:57.000
And I let him know that I didn't like him personally.
01:11:01.000
I let him know that I hated him more than what he hated fucking me.
01:11:08.000
And every time we went to court, he would sit there across from me.
01:11:12.000
But I had a good attorney, and it was burning him up because he wanted me for kidnapping.
01:11:16.000
But I'm like, nah, dawg, you didn't find no fingerprints on nothing.
01:11:25.000
He went to all the hearings and said that, you know, they're like, we don't see nothing else on the record.
01:11:32.000
So if there's nothing else on the record, this is you against him.
01:11:42.000
You know, he was one of those white evangelist type guys.
01:11:46.000
He even was so mad at me that he joined forces with my ex-wife in court afterward for like child hearings and shit like that.
01:11:57.000
He was there when I went off one day, Cuban style.
01:12:04.000
The last time I went to court, remember the last time I went to court with my wife, it was the same judge that sentenced me.
01:12:27.000
I'm starting to learn what it's all about to be a man.
01:12:33.000
Every month, every month on the 1st, he got a letter from me.
01:12:47.000
But I wrote him letters, wrote him letters, wrote him letters, wrote him letters.
01:12:51.000
I got out of jail February of 89. I wrote him letters.
01:12:55.000
I went in front of him in May of 95. He was a civil judge and I was still writing him letters.
01:13:11.000
The fucking boyfriend's got a stake over his eye because I smacked him because he called me a speck.
01:13:25.000
And the judge goes, number one, you gotta throw your case out because it's the city limits of Boulder.
01:13:34.000
If you use a racial slur in the city limits of Boulder.
01:13:44.000
He was like, listen, you fucking come back in here again with this shit.
01:13:56.000
So my wife got mad, the ex got mad, and on the walk out of there was when I did something that to this day I regret.
01:14:21.000
I'm trying to feature, and I'm getting heat because I'm dirty.
01:14:30.000
So I was featuring in dirty bars, but they would make me MC at the clubs, and they made me work clean and read the announcements and shit.
01:14:50.000
Yeah, but Joey, even when I met you in the beginning, you were dirty.
01:14:56.000
But for some people, that's like a deal breaker.
01:14:59.000
I went clean for the first three years, and it wasn't me.
01:15:04.000
I mimicked Lenny Clark first, but I like Bill Hicks, and I love Richard Pryor.
01:15:11.000
Lenny had a bit of a medical situation come up.
01:15:22.000
I met him at the store and I told him exactly how I felt and why I wore a suit the first three years of my career, but it didn't work.
01:15:31.000
I opened up for him the second time I ever got paid.
01:15:34.000
First time I got paid, Warren McDonald took me on the road, did a shitty gig in the middle of nowhere.
01:15:39.000
Second time I got paid, I did Jay's in Pittsfield, opening up for Lenny Clark, and I couldn't believe it.
01:15:47.000
Lenny Clark, who I saw on TV, and I'm hanging out with him and his brother, and his brother wound up giving me gigs.
01:16:01.000
I worked for Mike Clark once in a restaurant where you'd be in the middle of your set and the fucking PA system would take over your microphone.
01:16:16.000
So I'm on stage talking to the crowd and it just became the funniest part of the act.
01:16:23.000
I'm at a fucking fish restaurant down the Cape, and in the middle of talking, my fucking, my bits get cut off by people getting announced that their table's ready.
01:16:35.000
It's like, alright, can somebody kick off this, kick out this horn?
01:16:39.000
He said they do that, like, at the end when they're laughing at stuff.
01:16:42.000
No, there's a lot of amateur open mic versions of them and stuff like that.
01:16:46.000
And that's like, you know, you got people just blasting their horn.
01:17:03.000
He said he bombed in a park and he actually heard crickets.
01:17:16.000
My joke gig was I worked on Wednesday nights in an Italian restaurant where the guy was the cook but he was also an Elvis impersonator.
01:17:25.000
And he had been an Elvis impersonator for 20 years in Vegas.
01:17:36.000
So he would bring you the food and then he would turn into Elvis.
01:17:40.000
I would go up on stage and do 10, and then he would go up there and just put Elvis music on and sing over it.
01:17:52.000
Every Wednesday night, that was my 10 o'clock gig.
01:17:58.000
And he would go up there and sing his own, it's now or never.
01:18:05.000
And then I would have to sit throughout the whole show.
01:18:08.000
He would give me spaghetti and meatballs to take home, which I don't have to tell you.
01:18:22.000
Every time he did an encore, he would get a heartburn for an hour.
01:18:40.000
You can't do deadlifts with 500 pounds every day.
01:18:49.000
You gotta give your body enough time to recover and actually improve.
01:18:52.000
If you do those fucking terrible hell gigs every single night, it changes your act.
01:19:03.000
You lose your ability to set up a point and then Really hit it home hard like change tempos you have to keep on them bang bang bang bang drunk bars You got to keep on a bang bang bang which is fine, but it's not you shouldn't do it all the time no,
01:19:20.000
but I used the uncle Joey Coco Diaz method Which was I had an 1145 at the store which meant that was really going up at 1215 and I was a coke junkie.
01:19:31.000
There was no way I was going to hold off till 1215. Are you doing math?
01:19:35.000
I got to write the plan out so people see that there's a method of my fucking madness, okay?
01:19:46.000
And I knew in those days that I had to prepare two different sets.
01:19:52.000
I had to have my bar set, which was pretty basically dirty, and then you had to go acapella because sometimes you gotta go up during the Laker game.
01:20:01.000
You're not gonna turn off a Laker game in Orange County.
01:20:05.000
They love Joe Rogan, but you ain't gonna turn off a Laker game.
01:20:35.000
And then you got to the store at 11. Joe would be at news radio until 10.30 rehearsing.
01:20:43.000
When I first met you, you were still rehearsing.
01:20:46.000
Friday nights, you would shoot on Friday nights and then You would do this spot on Friday night, and I would go on after you.
01:20:54.000
And you were on 1130. That was not 1045 days yet.
01:21:00.000
You were still getting a quarter to 12. I was very lucky I didn't have a social life.
01:21:03.000
So I could just, you know, I didn't have friends out here.
01:21:06.000
So I would just do the show and then go to the store and then hang out with those guys.
01:21:19.000
What we had at the store that was really unusual was also what you were talking about with Tuesday Nights.
01:21:23.000
It was a murderer's row in a way that I've never seen before.
01:21:28.000
Like, every night you would go there, it would be Jessel Neck, Eliza, D'Elia, you, Nick Swartzen.
01:21:37.000
It was just murderer after murderer after murderer.
01:21:41.000
Oh my god, Ron White would come in and destroy...
01:21:45.000
As Nancy Dressler, whatever her fucking state's name was.
01:21:49.000
Ian Edwards, Owen Smith, Tom Segura, Burk Krascher, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
01:22:01.000
And a lot of people got upset at those lineups.
01:22:06.000
You know, I feel like these people don't respect me.
01:22:13.000
The bottom line is, that was a murderer's road.
01:22:21.000
You got Santino, you got Ian Edwards, you got all these people back to back to back to back that are just fucking killers.
01:22:47.000
I mean, that's the closest to tasting a saddle I've ever tasted.
01:22:53.000
This is Buffalo Trace, the first stuff we had that you enjoyed.
01:22:56.000
Another stuff which I love is Warbringer, the War Master Edition.
01:23:10.000
How is it even possible we don't have lighters in this fucking place?
01:23:18.000
No, because you get the fumes from the Zippo juice.
01:23:23.000
We had some, and I gave them to you to hide, I think, and I don't know where they went.
01:23:30.000
I probably hit him so well, I stole him for myself.
01:23:38.000
Worst comes to worst, I have one in my car somewhere.
01:23:39.000
Maybe go to your car, because this is not happening.
01:23:46.000
We've got to send Red Band out to his fucking car in order to get a lighter.
01:23:50.000
So, I think that's the first time you've ever handed me breaking news in the middle of a show.
01:24:00.000
I saw it literally within 45 seconds of him tweeting it out.
01:24:17.000
People keep telling me, dude, there's nothing wrong with him, he just has a stutter.
01:24:51.000
I've been doing comedy and virtual reality and now it's the closest to feeling like you're in front of people, I thought.
01:25:11.000
But it's cool to test out new jokes, because there's like 20 people there.
01:25:16.000
They're all like, you know, like Spongebob's excited.
01:25:20.000
Comedy's different with a small amount of people.
01:25:22.000
There's a good kind of comedy that you can get out of a small amount of people.
01:25:29.000
Because you can't put on a stupid show for three people.
01:25:50.000
It depends really entirely on how fun the people are, the audience member.
01:25:57.000
It's like it's not the audience, it's the comedian.
01:26:05.000
Every single interaction between two people, unless somebody comes up from behind you and hits you in the head, involves you and them interacting.
01:26:15.000
If there's a fucking group of people and then you're telling jokes, of course it matters who the audience is.
01:26:24.000
There's no such thing as a bad crowd, only a bad comedian.
01:26:34.000
It's an app from NBC. It's free, and you get all these old episodes.
01:26:38.000
And so I've been watching old Johnny Carson episodes.
01:26:45.000
Like, oh, we're going through the gas crisis of 1979, or blah, blah, blah.
01:26:49.000
But it's also interesting just to hear them talking about all that stuff, like the old days.
01:26:58.000
They're smoking cigarettes while they're playing.
01:27:01.000
It's such an interesting time capsule, that is.
01:27:12.000
I remember fucking watching Letterman in 82. That was my thing.
01:27:18.000
When I first got turned on to Letterman, a friend of mine turned me on to Letterman.
01:27:30.000
The first comic I listened to I can't even fucking say the album cover because I'll get in trouble.
01:27:37.000
I went to my friend's house to listen to The Beatles.
01:27:47.000
I was about eight, maybe nine, and he came out of the room.
01:27:50.000
He goes, what the fuck kind of music is that shit?
01:28:05.000
And my fucking head went off a swivel, Joe Rogan.
01:28:10.000
I ran home to the bar and I worked my mom for five bucks.
01:28:23.000
I would hide it from my mother because you could put the album down and then put another album on top that was going to drop.
01:28:30.000
So if your mom came in, you automatically dropped so she couldn't hear.
01:28:41.000
Now, there was no dream of me being a comic at this time.
01:28:44.000
I just thought the things he was saying were so fucking me.
01:28:53.000
I figured if I talked like that, I could influence motherfuckers and win people over.
01:28:58.000
Because I had that little insecurity about being an immigrant.
01:29:02.000
But if I spoke like that, and I could be that funny...
01:29:08.000
And I would bring that album to people's houses and the kids would be 10. And the mothers would catch us.
01:29:14.000
And still today, there's a kid, Ray Cannella, his mother, still mad at me for bringing over Richard Pryor.
01:29:21.000
There were like three mothers that got mad at me.
01:29:24.000
For Lucio Fernandez, that's a committee man in Union City, he told me and my wife, we were eating one day, and he goes, let me tell you something about your husband.
01:29:34.000
He fucking turned me on to Richard Pryor when we were 10, and I remember getting in trouble, because I brought the album on.
01:29:41.000
I was that young, already into, and then I got into Red Fox, and then Lenny Bruce got into it, and then I saw Carlin on HBO, and that was tremendous.
01:29:56.000
I related to Freddie Prince because he was Spanish.
01:30:02.000
Like, kind of, you know, maybe, you know what I'm saying?
01:30:09.000
And I remember that night the way, like, I still remember the night that kid killed himself.
01:30:14.000
Like, we didn't get the news like you get it now.
01:30:18.000
Like, I got the news when we were out that night.
01:30:21.000
He had shot himself the night before or the early morning or whatever.
01:30:35.000
74, 75. I was staying with my grandfather in Newark during the Chico and the Man days.
01:31:05.000
They were grooming him to take over The Tonight Show.
01:31:09.000
When you hear about a guy like that taking his own life, you're like, there's no way.
01:31:12.000
And then you and I were driving from Dallas to Houston.
01:31:15.000
We pulled over at a record store, and we bought a thing of him live from Chicago, and it was terrible.
01:31:35.000
And it's 73 comedy, not Richard Pryor, you know?
01:31:38.000
I mean, there was guys like Richard Pryor that were, to this day, like if you go back and listen to some of Richard Pryor's stuff, it still holds up.
01:31:54.000
I don't remember how it goes, but I remember it.
01:32:00.000
I remember thinking, like, how does someone who's that...
01:32:09.000
Is the man the guy from Charlie and the Charlie Factory?
01:32:21.000
These motherfuckers were shooting guns at the comedy store.
01:32:33.000
He was hanging out at the comedy store at Red Band, that kid.
01:32:38.000
Him, Kaplan, they were all at the comedy store at that time.
01:32:42.000
And you gotta think, he's also super famous, rich as fuck, 21, and doing coke.
01:33:11.000
You want me to tell you why I remember that night?
01:33:14.000
Want me to tell you why I remember that night specifically?
01:33:17.000
Because on the way home, it was so fucking cold.
01:33:23.000
And when I was walking through the cemetery, I had to take a shit.
01:33:29.000
The guy had been buried in like 1920. So I go, fuck it.
01:33:44.000
And all of a sudden I go to get up and I pissed in my own pants.
01:33:49.000
I had to walk home like the Tin Man because the piss went right into the fucking pants.
01:33:54.000
So my pants and I walked in and my mother was there.
01:33:57.000
And she's like, my mother would do surprise attacks on Friday nights on me, like fucked up.
01:34:04.000
Like she gave me the clearance, but like once a month I get a surprise attack.
01:34:10.000
And I walked in with pee on me and she's like, what are we doing here?
01:34:24.000
Your son walks in with frozen piss all over his pants.
01:34:27.000
What are we doing here is the funniest shit you could say to me.
01:34:30.000
And every time I came home with an idea, my mother turned to Santeria.
01:34:38.000
When I started dressing up like Bruce Lee and I had incense in my room...
01:34:46.000
Oh, I had the outfit, the white shirt that you folded.
01:35:04.000
And that would make up reasons why I was Chinese.
01:35:07.000
It used to be that you could dress like you did kung fu.
01:35:12.000
They'd be like, that guy's really into the arts.
01:35:14.000
You could walk around with them little skinny, tiny black cloth shoes with a tiny, like, tan heel.
01:35:26.000
And dudes would wear white socks, and they would have the full kung fu outfit on, and they'd just walk around the street like that.
01:35:32.000
And you'd be like, alright, what are you going to do?
01:35:42.000
They would walk around with those shoes and it's a nice shortcut to instantly you seem like a guy who thinks of things in a different way.
01:35:56.000
You can say a lot of stupid shit if you're wearing those slippers.
01:36:04.000
My girlfriend's making me do this right now, like having outdoor slippers, indoor slippers.
01:36:13.000
The problem is if you leave your shoes on when you come in the house, you're tracking all kinds of garbage from the outside.
01:36:23.000
About three weeks before my mother died, she would never be home on Friday nights.
01:36:34.000
But every once in a while, she'd surprise attack me.
01:36:59.000
And fucking, I got high with this girl and I didn't know, you know, we were swapping spit and I ate her monkey and she was bleeding.
01:37:42.000
Listen, wouldn't she ask you if you got in a fight then?
01:37:45.000
She asked me what happened and I was like, I cut my lip and she's like, how?
01:37:59.000
I did that once and I went to Starbucks, but I was like 35. She caught me with a girl once.
01:38:08.000
And I'll never forget, my mom came into my room, looked around, looked at me, and she just slid the closet.
01:38:26.000
I used to date the girl that lived in my backyard.
01:38:29.000
I used to date a girl in our backyards connected.
01:38:44.000
She made me a promise that in June, when school ended, we were going to start dating official.
01:38:51.000
Before that, we would just hug and kiss each other in the cheek.
01:38:55.000
And we would play hooky and do stupid shit and go to Union City.
01:38:58.000
And I'd spend money on her at fucking this little amusement park and shit.
01:39:03.000
And one day they fucking called home and my mother answered the phone.
01:39:08.000
And my mom started yelling, and the girl's parents were home.
01:39:13.000
And my mom started yelling, Ros Antonio, where the fuck are you?
01:39:24.000
And her mother pulls me aside and she goes, the things your mother is saying...
01:39:31.000
I should go over there and smack her in the face.
01:39:33.000
And I almost told the lady, listen, if you go over there, my mom will break you in fucking half.
01:39:40.000
She just stabbed the motherfucker three weeks ago.
01:39:43.000
You're not going to go over there and say nothing to my mother.
01:39:46.000
And I remember walking in and my mother being pissed.
01:39:48.000
I wasn't allowed to hang out with that girl no more.
01:39:51.000
You know, I was in the sixth grade, seventh grade.
01:39:56.000
She didn't want me to fucking have a girlfriend.
01:40:02.000
My mom would yell at me in the 9th grade if I was in the bedroom and I had the door shut up.
01:40:11.000
15 was when I really started getting some action.
01:40:27.000
He was the one that turned me out on a roller joint.
01:40:30.000
Eddie was a couple years older than me and he had a girlfriend that was a couple years older than me.
01:40:34.000
Eddie's family picked up one day and went to Miami.
01:40:49.000
In fact, she lived next to where the Iceman, the guy that was the Iceman...
01:40:54.000
Yeah, the guy that was his buddy, the ice cream truck, Mr. Softy.
01:41:03.000
And on Friday nights after Eddie left, I mean, we were just friends.
01:41:14.000
Sanford and Son, and one night she asked me, do you want to make out?
01:41:17.000
I didn't even know how to make out with a girl.
01:41:21.000
Every Friday she'd come over, we'd eat pizza, and we'd make out for a little while.
01:41:33.000
I was just telling somebody, I grew up with Catholic girls.
01:41:36.000
You had to talk a lot of shit around Catholic girls.
01:41:40.000
It took a long time to take a Catholic girl's bra off.
01:41:44.000
But once they popped a cork off that champagne, those gals are good to go.
01:41:54.000
You got to walk them home and rub their back and tell them they're not going to go to hell.
01:42:01.000
I think with the internet, they're less likely to worry about going to hell.
01:42:08.000
I had one girlfriend that that happened, and it was the longest night of my fucking life.
01:42:13.000
I had one in 83. She called me when she got home.
01:42:31.000
The home of Tommy motherfucking Heintzen, if anybody who knows anything.
01:42:36.000
So, and she went to the school that cheerleaded for us.
01:42:41.000
So I dated and eventually, you know, something happened and it was brutal.
01:43:01.000
I was like, this isn't gonna happen again till I marry a woman.
01:43:07.000
The crazy thing is they didn't tell us anything about birth control.
01:43:14.000
Everybody was already fucking before anybody got to talk to.
01:43:18.000
Everybody was already fucking by the time they were 16. And when you're 17, your dad or your mom or school, someone's gonna pull you aside and say, well, if you're gonna have sex, like, gonna.
01:43:40.000
I don't know what age people fucked at when they were like in the 1950s when our parents were growing up.
01:43:52.000
All those TV shows, they slept in separate beds.
01:43:54.000
But do you think people did less fucking or do you think they did less talking about it?
01:44:00.000
They fucked the shit out of Marilyn Monroe, didn't they?
01:44:10.000
That Marilyn Monroe fucked him when he was 16 and she was 22. Oh yeah, we know that dude.
01:44:49.000
I've been officially old for at least eight years, but now officially, officially old.
01:44:55.000
It's like, I can still pull stuff up that I know, but like the new stuff, it's hard to get in there.
01:45:00.000
And there's a lot of old stuff I'm just deleting left and right.
01:45:03.000
I forget what I have for lunch, but if you read the article I told you to read a long time ago.
01:45:12.000
Johnny Russo said he lost his virginity to Marilyn Monroe at 15. Woo!
01:45:20.000
If that's some horrible man who did that to a 15-year-old girl, it's a crime.
01:45:34.000
Marilyn Monroe, 15. Can you imagine today one of these mothers from Studio City?
01:45:53.000
She probably sat on his face and shit tremendous.
01:45:57.000
There's some guys that have like this weird relationship.
01:46:03.000
It's probably not about that movie, but it's like a dramatized version of like a young dude in a relationship with Marilyn Monroe.
01:46:15.000
She'd find some 15-year-old kid and go, I'm gonna freak this fucking kid out.
01:46:22.000
I'm gonna fuck some 15-year-old kid pushing a lawnmower.
01:46:28.000
15-year-old kid and Marilyn Monroe just grabs your dick and sticks it inside of her.
01:46:35.000
You remember that iconic video of her standing on the subway grate in Manhattan?
01:46:44.000
Can you imagine him telling his friends and they're like, get the fuck out of here!
01:46:59.000
She was just so drugged up and drunk that people were like, ooh, get her away from me.
01:47:08.000
There's video of her the year that she was still alive before she died.
01:47:16.000
The guy going on and said, I had a date with Marilyn Monroe.
01:47:20.000
So the movie came out in 1983. Dude, I have so much more respect for her now.
01:47:24.000
I just think if I was a female, famous actor, that'd be the most gangster thing to do.
01:47:40.000
Everybody would have a problem with everything.
01:47:43.000
But if the biggest movie star in the world was scooping up high school seniors and blowing them, There was a female gym teacher in my school that fucked everybody.
01:48:09.000
Like, Red Band, where are you going to tell her?
01:48:10.000
You guys gotta drop me off at Miss Whatever's House.
01:48:33.000
I think she was giving pussy to the teachers too.
01:48:46.000
And then there was a chick in our high school that just liked older guys.
01:48:54.000
And we were standing outside, and this chick was fucking hammered.
01:49:04.000
And right in front of everybody, she just went up to the vice principal, hammered, and just started grabbing his dick and going, let's get out of here, baby.
01:49:11.000
And he's like, all right, everybody can go play now.
01:49:27.000
And I talk to her from time to time, say hello.
01:49:35.000
There was a neighborhood freak in my neighborhood.
01:49:45.000
They always introduced you to some old Sabbath.
01:49:50.000
Like, I didn't know, you know, I was musically illiterate at the point.
01:50:05.000
I thought girls that smelled like a woman that smelled like she smoked cigarettes, it was hot.
01:50:10.000
This is like a dangerous lady who doesn't give a fuck about cancer.
01:50:18.000
I thought it was the dumbest thing for you to do for your health, but I also thought it was hot if girls smoke cigarettes.
01:50:23.000
I'll tell you how hard it was in my neighborhood to score.
01:50:28.000
That on Facebook, most of the kids I'm friends with in my neighborhood, they married their high school sweethearts.
01:50:48.000
If you took a Spanish girl on a date, you had to go with her grandmother the first three or four dates.
01:50:53.000
Italian girl, sometimes you got to bring the abuela, you know, the grandma with you.
01:50:58.000
I didn't learn about sugar daddies and all that shit.
01:51:04.000
And then the shit that you hear once you move here.
01:51:20.000
And you hear this shit, you know, the Epstein, I don't know.
01:51:26.000
The Tom Hanks thing is more or less an internet meme.
01:51:29.000
It's like a joke that they're pretending that Tom Hanks is a pedophile.
01:51:36.000
It's like there's so much talk about all these other things when there's...
01:51:41.000
There's a whole lot of people that went to this island with a guy who was a pedophile, who was known for having underage girls, and he didn't really kill himself and everybody knows it.
01:51:55.000
I took the over that they're going to bomb that place where they have her.
01:51:58.000
They can't choke her and they can't suicide her.
01:52:13.000
Well, that was one of the things I talked to Oliver Stone about with Jack Ruby.
01:52:16.000
He said that Jack Ruby getting cancer and dying so quickly, like that didn't really make sense.
01:52:20.000
That they were working on things you could do to people where you could inject them and they'd get cancer and die.
01:52:30.000
It's going to be interesting to see what happens.
01:52:33.000
If she has to testify, the fucking Marines got to go.
01:52:47.000
What he was on though, I have two e-bikes, I'm addicted to that lifestyle, but what he was on is like a motorbike.
01:52:54.000
It's like a Tron motorcycle that has like the torque of a Tesla.
01:53:15.000
Instead of like a motorbike, like X Games style, it's just E-Battery.
01:53:20.000
Bro, when we were in Austin, I was watching those drunk fucks roll by on those scooters.
01:53:29.000
When you sign up for the thing, you're supposed to take a picture of your ID and shit.
01:53:33.000
If you fall going 15 miles an hour, you're fucked.
01:53:36.000
I don't know if you realize how fucked you are.
01:53:38.000
If you fall on concrete and you're going 15 miles an hour, you're fucked.
01:53:48.000
Listen, bitch, you're hitting the concrete and electric poles.
01:53:56.000
Oh, that's way different than the 15. Okay, let's say 15. Most of them, yeah.
01:54:00.000
You hit something at 15 miles an hour, you hit the concrete and a pole.
01:54:03.000
At 15 miles an hour, you have no understanding of what...
01:54:07.000
The ones you rent off the street, they're limited to only go like 13 miles an hour or something like that.
01:54:12.000
If you hit a pole at 13 miles an hour, listen to me, Jamie, you're going to get fucked up.
01:54:23.000
But I'm saying, if you just walk in a pole, it's not nearly as...
01:54:27.000
Well, you don't, but other folks are intoxicated.
01:54:32.000
You can just pick one of these things up with no license, and you're going 15 miles an hour, booking down the street.
01:54:42.000
Whether or not you do it without, you can give it to your kid, but as you sign up for it, you're giving a liability.
01:54:56.000
But it's definitely more complicated than driving a car, right?
01:55:07.000
But if a slob, if someone just has no coordination, they decide to get on one of those things.
01:55:20.000
There's scooters that go 45 miles an hour that you could buy.
01:55:26.000
You're going 40 miles an hour, where's your helmet?
01:55:30.000
But listen, at least if people fall down, they're not, you could fucking wipe into somebody.
01:55:36.000
You could wipe into somebody and hurt them pretty bad.
01:55:43.000
They banned them because they were being dropped all over the place and people were hurting themselves.
01:55:48.000
That's just another fucking headache for people.
01:55:51.000
It's weird because you can just leave them on the sidewalk.
01:55:57.000
Every time you get on one of those fucking things, it's a fucking nightmare.
01:56:08.000
When you get hit in the fuck by a truck, don't come crying to me then.
01:56:12.000
I wouldn't advise any of my friends, especially if they're intoxicated, like, can I just take this home?
01:56:17.000
If you're thinking, should I take this home, you definitely shouldn't take that home.
01:56:31.000
My brother, I took up bike riding during this quarantine.
01:56:56.000
You got something to say, you shut your fucking mouth.
01:56:59.000
I wear a hooded sweatshirt with a.22 just in case.
01:57:06.000
I put my mask on like a decent fucking American, and I take that fucking bike to Hunger to fucking Toluca Lake.
01:57:19.000
But trust me, I know that I'm in danger of getting hit.
01:57:24.000
Every time I get on those bikes, I say a prayer.
01:57:26.000
Because there's a lot of motherfuckers texting.
01:57:30.000
When you're on a bike, you got to work hard now.
01:57:37.000
Your best bet is to get a bike and go on the Chandler Trail.
01:57:54.000
Can people leave their fucking dogs at home in California?
01:57:58.000
The other day I was hungry, I went to eat and all of a sudden the lady's sitting there with a fucking dog social distancing.
01:58:07.000
Everybody in California gotta fucking take a dog!
01:58:32.000
COVID and they got an extra 600 a week on unemployment.
01:58:35.000
Did you see that new Mexican tunnel they just found?
01:58:37.000
The most complicated tunnel they've ever discovered.
01:58:42.000
Remember, they build 20 at a time, and they want you to find one.
01:58:46.000
They sacrifice one, so you have a big victory for Fox News.
01:58:49.000
Mexican drug lord stopped at the border, the most sophisticated tunnel in U.S. history, discovered between Mexico and Arizona.
01:58:59.000
Although it's not exactly clear what the structure was intended for, it had ventilation, a rail system, and extensive reinforcement.
01:59:15.000
El Chapo goes to take a shit and never returns.
01:59:19.000
The only thing that keeps the camera from seeing him taking a shit is a thing where you can't see him when he's sitting.
01:59:26.000
So he turns around towards where the toilet is, ducks down, and disappears forever from sight.
01:59:31.000
He's like taking a shit for like five hours to go in and check on the guy.
01:59:34.000
They find out there's a door behind the shitter and he's got a tunnel built in there with a rail system, like a real rail system and lighting and electricity.
01:59:46.000
They take him off before the fucking people in the jail can realize he's gone.
01:59:53.000
He gets out of this building and they swoop him up in a truck or whatever, a helicopter, and they get him the fuck out of there.
02:00:09.000
He's like, I'm just going to take my pants off real quick.
02:00:43.000
If you live in La Jolla, you can walk there, son.
02:00:55.000
The fucking Pablo Escobar two seasons were very good.
02:01:57.000
Fucking takes over the dance floor, makes out with his gay lover, takes the bottle, breaks it over the guy's head, then ties him up with a motorcycle and rips him apart.
02:02:24.000
And to me, in my world, and you know me, dawg, I come at you with Lawrence Fishburne.
02:02:30.000
I'll tell you who's really doing that craft right.
02:02:34.000
That we've seen who are the major pimps of the fucking game.
02:02:38.000
Right now, the major pimps of the game that you and I have seen in our lifetime have been guys like Lawrence Fishburne.
02:02:45.000
You know, this kid who does John Wick is doing a great fucking job.
02:03:03.000
You want to shoot yourself in the head two times.
02:03:19.000
But the dude who fucking does Narcos Mexico, the little dude, that dude is on a different level.
02:03:36.000
And I didn't even know that this Latin theater existed.
02:03:39.000
When I was a kid, I watched Telemundo and telenovelas.
02:03:54.000
But the guy, Narcos Mexico, he's so fucking good.
02:04:08.000
He tells the story of what happened in New York.
02:04:15.000
And all of a sudden they were selling a weed called Sensamea.
02:04:19.000
And it was a weed that was grown with no seeds.
02:04:22.000
So it was easier to pack and easier to smuggle.
02:04:26.000
So they had to convince these people that this was the future.
02:04:34.000
It can't be grown anywhere else because a male plant will fuck up the whole thing.
02:04:43.000
These motherfuckers set up an irrigation thing.
02:04:49.000
I do know that now, but Jamie, when he gets a minute...
02:04:57.000
Yeah, they can switch genders, but the flowery ones are the females.
02:05:05.000
Make sure the males don't fuck them over and switch them.
02:05:08.000
I don't know how they can get too close and change each other.
02:05:24.000
This went on for days where they just grew this weed.
02:05:48.000
Do you think that's all CGI? A lot of CGI mixed with fake.
02:05:56.000
But this guy devised the system that he knew that there was water in the desert.
02:06:07.000
And this kid here, he could eat motherfuckers alive for breakfast with his acting.
02:06:13.000
That dude there, that little Mexican right there.
02:06:15.000
And I watched him a couple times, and I go, there's something special about this kid.
02:06:23.000
His mother died when he was three, and his father was a stagehand in Mexico.
02:06:28.000
So his father was a set designer, which means that he grew up around his father on the set designing, which made him a little bit more creative than the average fucking kid.
02:06:39.000
This kid will eat motherfuckers up for lunch, and they let him go.
02:06:43.000
He's gonna eat motherfuckers up for lunch when they let him go.
02:06:56.000
There's even one episode where he tells his wife...
02:07:06.000
And how he does it the whole, from A to Z. From A to Z. How he started with weed first, and then he went on a mission to do a favor, and he saw cocaine in Nicaragua.
02:07:20.000
And he goes, all the cocaine is stuck in Nicaragua.
02:07:35.000
You got the Cali Cartel, they're legit businessmen.
02:07:41.000
But then we got another guy that's very emotional.
02:08:00.000
It is one of the greatest fucking scenes ever with how Pablo talks to him.
02:08:16.000
And then he goes, what are you going to do with a hippopotamus?
02:08:21.000
And Pablo's telling him, like, he loves hippopotamuses because they're smooth and all this shit.
02:08:31.000
For every load you take of theirs, you take one of mine in.
02:08:45.000
He goes, if you do that for me, then you're going to put me out of business.
02:08:48.000
Do you think that Narcos is like the Rocky movies for drug dealers?
02:08:54.000
Narcos, the first two seasons or three seasons of Narcos is very sad for a guy like me.
02:09:03.000
Because it shows you the truth of what happened.
02:09:07.000
The Columbians had something going on, and once the Americans saw the amount of money, they tapped right into it.
02:09:13.000
That whole thing with Barry Seale and Arkansas, that's all real.
02:09:19.000
It's like the first time you realize the Kennedy hit was done by the CIA or whoever did it.
02:09:25.000
You say to yourself, wow, we have a government that ices their own people.
02:09:32.000
The same war on drugs that they have on paper They're profiting off.
02:09:38.000
And then when you look at the fucking weed thing, from the narcos perspective, you don't know the amounts of weed that would bring it in.
02:09:47.000
They were supplying the whole country with green weed.
02:09:59.000
But meanwhile, Reagan is on there with his wife, just saying no.
02:10:06.000
So you see the hypocrisy and it kind of hurts you.
02:10:13.000
Well, the Just Say No thing was coming from the same administration that funded the Conscious vs.
02:10:19.000
Sandinistas with CIA drug money run through South Central LA. And they show him.
02:10:25.000
Through Freeway Ricky Ross, who's been on the podcast twice.
02:10:30.000
Yeah, they show Narcos, the Mexican kid I just told you, they show him going because the plane goes down.
02:10:37.000
How they discovered that whole thing was, a plane goes down.
02:10:41.000
And all of a sudden, Oliver Wood, whatever his name is, Oliver North, Oliver South, whatever his fucking name is.
02:10:51.000
Narco went to the CIA after they had killed Kiki Camarena.
02:10:57.000
He's the most wanted man in the fucking world for being one of the guys that murdered Kiki Camarena.
02:11:03.000
He shows up at CIA headquarters and goes, whoa, whoa!
02:11:09.000
I got the fucking, I got the fucking answer to your problems.
02:11:23.000
This is one that you and I have brought up before because it was like a CIA. Of course it is!
02:11:38.000
When you get coked up, you're like, it's gonna make it.
02:11:45.000
But there was one that just happened, like, real, real recently.
02:11:50.000
No, that was 2007. There's one that happened like a week ago.
02:11:57.000
No, it wasn't a CIA plane that landed recently, but it was one that crashed right after taking off.
02:12:15.000
They had one of them old fucking propeller planes loaded up with coke.
02:12:23.000
If you get on the plane with your wife and she's like 146 and you're like, bitch, I don't want to die.
02:12:29.000
You're 152. My mom would make extra money on the side when she worked at Wendy's and take those planes down to Atlanta and drop off stuff.
02:12:39.000
And I just remember being a kid in the backseat reading Garfield going, I'm gonna die!
02:12:44.000
How many times did you have to fly in one of those?
02:12:45.000
I'd probably say at least 10 times that I remember.
02:13:14.000
And the guy I like that they hired was that dude that got like 2,000 years in jail.
02:13:20.000
The one who ran the island, like his story is hilarious.
02:13:42.000
So when the cops went, when the feds went all extradite on these guys, they became the extraditables.
02:13:57.000
Fucking, ah, like, okay, so you cannot take us back to the United States because you're the number one exporter of our product.
02:14:10.000
All of a sudden he sees like an assistant walk by and he goes, hey, come here.
02:14:13.000
And all of a sudden he's like, and all of a sudden she just kneels down.
02:14:33.000
Carlos Lader was the one who went to Pablo and said, I'm going to fly the cook back for you, but we're going to make a stop on an island.
02:14:52.000
And they were like, listen, there's a whole story about it that's hysterical.
02:15:05.000
And they bought everybody out, but there was this one white dude who was like, this is my island.
02:15:18.000
And all night, they were bringing in planes, refueling them, and sending them out.
02:15:27.000
U.S. drug lord and Escobar partner Leida released in Germany from prison.
02:15:52.000
But then he started doing a podcast from the island with cameras and naked women of him snorting coke with a robot.
02:16:13.000
He's just ripping bags open, snorting them, just talking.
02:16:37.000
When the shit got deep and the Colombians were in trouble, the five Colombians sat down.
02:16:43.000
They said, listen, this kid's on an island talking about Jim Morrison in the doors.
02:17:08.000
Because he gave them information years later about He gave them, like, vital, he gave them really great information that if the country fucking knew, we would sink.
02:17:23.000
He gave them information that he was, he also, not beside having his island, that that was also a distraction.
02:17:33.000
His main contributor, his main supplier was Fidel.
02:17:38.000
So Fidel was letting him go to Cuba, bring the coke to Cuba, stock it, and for every ship that went out from Cuba to the United States with a Cuban flag, Fidel would get a kickback of $800,000.
02:17:57.000
So he testified against Fidel, which obviously nobody ever arrested Fidel.
02:18:02.000
And he told them everything he knew about the ins and outs of money moving.
02:18:07.000
You could find it online, all the shit he had done.
02:18:17.000
Isn't it funny, like, no one wants their son to do that, but everybody loves these movies.
02:18:25.000
Like, Jamie, if you had a son, your son became a fucking drug dealer.
02:19:00.000
It's really crazy to say that because in the movie, he goes to his house one time, the father.
02:19:06.000
And he goes, so all this on the landscape is...
02:19:39.000
Mine is a 65. That's probably early 60s, maybe even 50s.
02:20:11.000
He has a Generation One convertible that's just immaculate.
02:20:17.000
Ron White has got to be one of the coolest people on the planet.
02:20:53.000
I think it's probably like when he first got it.
02:21:05.000
America knew how to do shit back then, Red Band.
02:21:07.000
I think it's getting more exciting now, honestly, with cars.
02:21:15.000
Are you going to get one of those, what's it called?
02:21:33.000
There's a thing about Broncos, like those old Broncos, even mine, like I have a Coyote engine in it.
02:21:47.000
If you bought a Mustang GT, they put that in an old Bronco and tweak everything.
02:22:01.000
But the new Bronco is not going to be like that.
02:22:03.000
New Bronco is going to be dope, no doubt about it.
02:22:12.000
Larger Cybertruck will be North American ass-kicker.
02:22:15.000
Smaller Cybertruck, highly likely to be sent to countries we hate.
02:22:22.000
The size of the Cybertruck, like Elon wanted to make it smaller because it's bigger than what an average size garage is, single car garage.
02:22:32.000
That's why there's probably going to be a smaller one.
02:22:38.000
We do need things to be as big as humanly possible.
02:22:41.000
If there's a fucking XL Diet Coke, I always get it.
02:22:56.000
They sell you the regular Note, and then you can get the Note Ultra.
02:23:20.000
The iPhone got way ahead of everybody with two things.
02:23:25.000
If you make a funny video of something, you see something, I'm like, oh my god, send me that.
02:23:33.000
Yeah, I'll send gigabyte files to my girlfriend to edit and stuff like that, and it's like 15 seconds.
02:23:39.000
Also, when I send you pictures, if they come through iMessage, they're better quality.
02:23:45.000
There's like a lot of things that you get used to.
02:23:49.000
You get used to the fact you could answer a message from your laptop if you had a Mac laptop.
02:24:01.000
When you go to a supermarket, you just pay with your phone.
02:24:13.000
If I can pay for things with my phone, I feel like I'm in the future.
02:24:16.000
And you're not touching shit and getting corona and crap.
02:24:18.000
I remember Dana White told me about that in 2005. Like, bro, in Japan, their phones, they pay for shit with their phones.
02:24:43.000
Yeah, but that's what you said when email first came out or buying on Amazon.
02:24:49.000
Remember when he would get mad if you left a fucking voice?
02:25:04.000
If you're still text messaging me, like it depends what day, but there's...
02:25:19.000
So there's a lot of people that want to talk to you.
02:25:24.000
If you want to talk to me, if you know me that well, you'll fucking call me.
02:25:30.000
I feel like the thing that everybody worries about is using their phone too much.
02:25:34.000
That's almost the number one thing everybody worries about.
02:25:36.000
Because if you didn't worry about using your phone too much, you'd say, oh, I just need something I can text with and answer emails.
02:25:41.000
And occasionally look up something on Google, right?
02:25:46.000
But you're addicted to your goddamn phone, so you're going to be Instagramming and Snapchatting and TikToking.
02:26:25.000
I don't know if you remember this, but this was like many years ago.
02:26:42.000
You had Danny play War Pig, and you took your shirt off.
02:26:46.000
And you were singing into the microphone, and we were like, yeah!
02:26:55.000
There was 10 people, but there was also 10 comedians.
02:26:58.000
So there was 20 people in the audience in the main room.
02:27:01.000
And then Joey's on stage, he gets the spotlight on him, and he's fucking singing at the top of his lungs to War Pigs.
02:27:27.000
You took your fucking shirt off and you started singing into the microphone, full clip, and we were cheering.
02:27:34.000
The audience was cheering because we recognized that you did something fun.
02:27:40.000
A fucking 1245 spot in the main room on whatever night it was.
02:27:56.000
And you just took control of this moment in this way that I'm never going to forget.
02:28:04.000
And it made me realize what part of what live comedy is.
02:28:11.000
There's moments where you capture these moments.
02:28:13.000
You just knew how to grab a hold of that fucking wave and ride it.
02:28:39.000
I started studying singers to really learn how to really get my message across.
02:28:51.000
Nobody gets the message across like Robert Plant when he's singing Since I've Been Loving You, okay?
02:29:00.000
I studied the singer from Bad Company, his body movements.
02:29:06.000
Then I studied the singer from Leonard Skinner.
02:29:11.000
I stole Leonard Skinner's, that dude, whatever his name was, when you see Joey Diaz on stage, I'm just faking it.
02:29:20.000
I stole Leonard Skinner's singer's persona on stage.
02:29:26.000
The persona is that walk that he makes in Oakland in 77. The walk of James Brown onto Africa with the cape.
02:29:42.000
Once you take that side of music and you mix it with what we're trying to do and implement it at the comedy store is when your life really explodes as a comedian.
02:30:04.000
So I studied what you know Just a couple of singers have this Joe Rogan that you could tell what they're singing about by looking at their body.
02:30:16.000
Robert Plant, Since I've Been Loving You, Live from the Garden, is fucking body language.
02:30:25.000
Nobody's body language was better on stage than fucking Robert Plant.
02:30:33.000
But selling you what three guys behind you are playing is a gift that I also wanted to tap into.
02:30:45.000
If you didn't do it, you missed out as a comic.
02:31:02.000
Can you imagine if Leonard Skinner didn't crash in that plane?
02:31:05.000
We would have had a complete different world today.
02:31:09.000
Because Leonard Skinner was already blowing Ted Nugent out of the water on that tour.
02:31:25.000
Dude, to this day, man, when I do my kickboxing workouts, 9 out of 10 times, I put on a Leonard Skinner...
02:31:34.000
But it's just, they weren't supposed to be that good.
02:31:45.000
Ronnie Van Zandt, all those guys, they're from Florida.
02:31:55.000
Eddie Bravo was explaining to me the difference.
02:32:03.000
And some guys have riffs where the whole riff is like this really calculated solo.
02:32:16.000
No, this guy's got a whole, like, when they did, like, if they did Freebird, that one guitar solo from Freebird might be the greatest guitar solo of all time.
02:32:30.000
It was so polished, because it's a crazy solo, because they did that solo over and over and over and over and over again.
02:32:38.000
When he hits the leap, when he leaps in the air and slams down on the guitar...
02:33:03.000
Joey, every time I used to have to do Kevin and Bean...
02:33:08.000
They were the only LA radio station that I would do.
02:33:11.000
You'd have to get up really early in the morning if you wanted to get there by 7. So I'd have to leave my house at like 5 in the morning so it was like fucking dark out, right?
02:33:17.000
And I would smoke a joint in my driveway and I would play Midnight Rider.
02:33:27.000
Yeah, I got to see Allman Brothers a few times.
02:33:35.000
They used to do a tour with, I believe, Blues Traveler or somebody like that.
02:33:40.000
And there was a few of those jam band type bands.
02:33:51.000
It was amazing, but it made me stop and think about some of the shit that I forgot that was awesome.
02:33:57.000
When you're hanging out with someone like Rob Lowe, you start thinking about other shit that was awesome back when you first found out about him.
02:34:15.000
He's really charming, really smart, really friendly.
02:34:18.000
Like, his live little videos and stuff he makes.
02:34:26.000
But at a certain point in time, when you're talking to someone that's that famous, it does weird you out.
02:34:55.000
There's the no ability to work for too many people thing.
02:35:04.000
Shout out to Hoggly Wogglies and Van Nuys though.
02:35:09.000
Yeah, they can hang with anybody on the planet.
02:35:13.000
I've eaten amazing barbecue in Austin and Houston and Dallas and Nashville.
02:35:18.000
They have great barbecue, don't get me wrong, but Hoggly Wogglies and Van Nuys can hang with all them bitches.
02:35:36.000
Bro, there's a bunch of nasty strip clubs down there.
02:35:46.000
I was just thinking of barbecue and strip clubs.
02:35:48.000
You know what they're doing now because the massage parters and everything's closed and strip clubs and stuff?
02:35:59.000
I thought about you two weeks ago when I went to CVS and I saw a white guy And a hot African American chick having an argument outside of CVS at 9.20 in the morning.
02:36:13.000
He was a little chubby and they were having some type of loud discussion.
02:36:17.000
I went and I got my medication when I walked out.
02:36:21.000
He's yelling at her, I want my wallet back, you fucking bitch.
02:36:27.000
Because you always talk about all those dirty bitches up in Van Heys and shit.
02:36:35.000
So this is my CVS. This is the main one I've been going for 10 years.
02:36:40.000
And all of a sudden when I walk out, I walk towards my car, but I hear him go, I want my fucking wallet back, you fucking bitch.
02:36:58.000
And he goes, bitch, I don't give a fuck if it's a wedding ring.
02:37:02.000
And he hauls off and smacks the Dexter like fucking name a knockout in the UFC. This is way better than anything you've ever seen.
02:37:18.000
Me, I didn't have a piece, so I got in my car and took off because there's a lot of shooting in North Hollywood lately.
02:37:27.000
I go, let me go check on the office, get some shit out of there.
02:37:30.000
I go down the block, I go down fucking whatever, and I hook on Lancashire.
02:37:46.000
Okay, I'm about to hit Magnolia, the Federal, all that stuff.
02:37:51.000
But I'm sitting right there crossing the train station.
02:37:54.000
And all of a sudden, out of the left of my eye, I see this commotion and I see this woman looking up and all of a sudden I see an axe handle or something hit her and she goes down into the street and it's a white guy with a vest on just hitting people with axe handles and they're going down one by one.
02:38:15.000
And all of a sudden, I see a chubby guy running across the street and fucking he starts chasing the chubby guy.
02:38:26.000
And all of a sudden I go, this is my chance to be a fucking hero.
02:38:29.000
I hook a U-turn and I'm going to shoot down the street and catch him at the end and hit him with my car.
02:38:35.000
It's been years since I hit a motherfucker with my car.
02:38:38.000
When I get to the corner, I hit the fucking left.
02:38:47.000
If he would have ran right, I would have just hit him with the car and kept going.
02:38:53.000
He dropped the axe handle, and the guy was on the floor, and his head was bleeding, and then the guy ran back to the train station to get some more.
02:39:15.000
I go, I'll meet you behind the wire like I usually meet you.
02:39:21.000
She sits in her car and I sit in my car and she tells me about her day on the set.
02:39:25.000
And it's ten after nine because I got to catch it before Mercy goes to sleep.
02:39:39.000
And then you hear, bah, bah, right behind that.
02:39:46.000
I go home, my wife goes, thank God you're home.
02:39:54.000
She goes to drive by, and then the guy they shot at shot twice, because that chicken place is there.
02:40:09.000
So the axe handle just came out of nowhere and hit this lady in the head?
02:40:25.000
New York and Chicago are both really bad right now.
02:40:33.000
Four identified men jumped out of a car and threw a beating on him.
02:40:40.000
I don't want what's in Seattle and Portland to come down here and catch.
02:40:45.000
My wife had to go downtown the other day to send money, and she goes downtown.
02:40:51.000
It's already horrible to begin with, but it's a nightmare now.
02:41:00.000
Get in the car one day next week, I've told you, and just go say your goodbyes to the comedy store by yourself.
02:41:09.000
Make a left on the Siena and then pick a street and make a left so you can make another left to get on the 101. And make a mental projection of when this will come back.
02:41:36.000
So many people wanted society to burn, but I just don't think they expected it to burn this way.
02:41:41.000
They just didn't want the current system to be in place.
02:41:49.000
When there's a breakdown, we go back to who we were just a few thousand years ago.
02:41:54.000
This is why it's so important for civilization to be maintained.
02:41:57.000
It's not just because it helps rich people protect their money and helps people feel safe.
02:42:07.000
You're in a bad state if you've got violence everywhere because people can adapt to whatever state they're in.
02:42:13.000
If they just become accustomed to having violence all the time everywhere, It's gonna be a much more dangerous place with the same people, same people living in it, and two years later, it's a far more dangerous place.
02:42:25.000
That's, for whatever reason, whatever causes people to lean one way or another like that, that's not a good sign.
02:42:33.000
And I think that we can lean one way or the other here.
02:42:37.000
We can either lean to where we fight more, and there's more violence, more chaos, more destruction, more people angry, or if we can calm the fuck down and figure out a way to work through shit together as human beings.
02:42:48.000
We're the same people that lived in this planet two years ago when everything was amazing.
02:42:54.000
Yeah, there was always problems on this planet, but when here you are two years later, it's the same human beings.
02:43:00.000
We're just confronted with a problem we didn't expect, and we didn't do a good job hitting it.
02:43:08.000
But we have to also figure out how to maintain the goddamn economy.
02:43:14.000
You have to figure out a way where people can work in a safe way.
02:43:19.000
What would you do different than Garcetti or Gavin Newsom?
02:43:24.000
I'm not the guy that you would come to that's going to tell you how to run a city.
02:43:28.000
But I would say you have to realize there's a ratio.
02:43:32.000
And there's a ratio of, like, if people hit a certain amount of poverty and despair, They will, the COVID. If they hit a certain amount of despair and unemployment, there's a statistic.
02:43:44.000
You could actually find out, like they've done studies.
02:43:47.000
You see it's a correlation between the amount of suicides, the amount of drug addicts, the amount of people who commit crime.
02:44:00.000
So they focused on one kind of life loss, and that's the life loss loss to the disease.
02:44:06.000
But they didn't focus on the life loss loss to the economy collapsing or to people being unable to pay for their bills and get depressed or suicidal or drug addicts.
02:44:24.000
They only factored the one thing, which was you don't want people to die of the disease.
02:44:28.000
How do we make sure that the hospitals aren't overstaffed?
02:44:31.000
How do we make sure that people can work, or overloaded rather?
02:44:35.000
How do we make sure that people can work safely?
02:44:42.000
We never were prepared for something like this.
02:44:46.000
We were not prepared, and that's why you can't point a finger at anybody.
02:44:50.000
And I'm not apologizing for them either, because there's probably somebody like Bill Gates or someone like that who saw it coming a while ago, and he would have done a much better job of, if you put him in charge of setting something like that up and protecting people from pandemics, and this is how much money you need to hit any sort of problem if it happens.
02:45:06.000
If you don't, You're not going to be able to contain it.
02:45:10.000
You're like, this is an investment that you have to make.
02:45:12.000
If you, like, laid it out to people in that way, who fucking knows, man?
02:45:18.000
They might have been able to, if not prevent this, maybe slow it down.
02:45:24.000
New Zealand had no cases for 100 days, and now they have cases.
02:45:55.000
Whoever would have saw this coming seven months ago?
02:46:08.000
I mean, it's going to be interesting to see what's on the other side of this reset.
02:46:15.000
I feel like whenever things are really bad, like with riots or with looting or with craziness, I feel like at the other end of it, people usually take a deep breath and they try to figure out, okay, what's the solution?
02:46:31.000
It's getting through the crazy part when people want to smash windows and burn things and If we can get through that and get to the point where rational people from both sides are talking, the problem is a lot of other people have jumped in that aren't rational,
02:46:48.000
And, you know, their life's not so great anyway.
02:46:50.000
So they'd be happy to set this federal building on fire.
02:46:58.000
You've got to be real careful with, like, who you give a license to light a building on fire.
02:47:04.000
Is that the wisest way to handle our resources?
02:47:06.000
Wouldn't it be better if we just chanted, sang songs, maybe stated our argument?
02:47:17.000
If you have a legitimate cause and it's a really good cause, but a bunch of idiots jump in and they start fucking it up, Like, that's what happens with people.
02:47:25.000
If you just have a cause where anybody can join, and it's one of the most pivotal things, and it's on the news every day, and everyone every day is fixated on it, of course you're gonna get attention whores in there.
02:47:37.000
There's attention whores in every single walk of life.
02:47:41.000
You're gonna get attention whores as activists.
02:47:43.000
There's gonna be some activists that ruin it for all the other ones.
02:47:46.000
The other ones who are out there really just want things to change.
02:47:49.000
They're really tired of people getting shot by cops.
02:47:56.000
They want to hit people with bike locks, light buildings on fire.
02:48:03.000
Whenever we jump into groups like that based on some sort of ideology, there's going to be people on your team that you're not going to agree with.
02:48:13.000
And then everybody thinks they're fucking heels in.
02:48:15.000
Everybody wants to be the left wing or right wing.
02:48:25.000
There's always a couple people you're like, all right.
02:48:31.000
There should be a bunch of people that are in charge of different jobs.
02:48:35.000
There should be like the president of finance, the president of war, The president of agriculture, the president of the environment, someone who only knows that one discipline.
02:48:45.000
Do you think Trump really has any idea what the fuck they're doing when they're fracking?
02:48:50.000
Do you think he's paying attention to what happens to people's water wells, their toilet bowls on fire, no one knows why?
02:48:58.000
Can you imagine if you lived in one of those fracking places and you took a shit and it was awful, so you lit a match and you threw it into your bowl, hoping you would kill some of the smell of your horrible shit, and then the match hits the fucking bowl and lights on fire because your water's flammable because they're fracking?
02:49:22.000
He's got a hundred different hotels with his name on them.
02:49:24.000
They have giant gold letters like, that's what I like!
02:49:28.000
He's not paying attention to what's happened to people that are fracking.
02:49:36.000
Is fracking what caused that earthquake in North Carolina the other day?
02:49:42.000
The number of earthquakes since fracking, before I talk shit, use bro science, let's find out.
02:49:49.000
What percentage of increase in earthquake activity What is it?
02:49:58.000
Yeah, it's basically they're drilling into, it's a more complicated way of drilling, but through this, they've liberated so much oil that we're not as dependent.
02:50:07.000
I don't know if we are dependent anymore on international oil.
02:50:12.000
They've been able to suck a lot of it out of the ground, but for people that live there, it's horrific.
02:50:27.000
This is from Inside Science for maybe a year...
02:50:31.000
What does that say there where you highlighted?
02:50:35.000
Oh, even in Western Canada, only about one in 300 fracking operations causes earthquakes.
02:50:44.000
In North America at the moment, imagine how funny that is.
02:50:47.000
Hey man, seriously, we only cause one earthquake for every 300. Yeah, we're changing the earth.
02:50:55.000
Only one out of 300. They don't tell you how many fracking operations they have.
02:50:59.000
What if they have like 300 a day across 3,000 different holes in the ground?
02:51:06.000
Yeah, dude, you know, people have these ranches out in these places and then they have these things set up on these ranches where they'll frack and dig into the ground and good luck if you have like a water source that's connected to that apparently.
02:51:34.000
They were thought to be minor, but new research is showing they could be quite large and damaging.
02:51:39.000
The focus of the study of a 5.7 magnitude quake near Prague, Oklahoma damaged 14 homes and other structures in the area.
02:51:50.000
You're like, at least I can just sit on the porch and relax.
02:51:56.000
And these frackin' motherfuckers, they chewed up the ground under your house.
02:52:01.000
Like, the government has to decide, like, how deep under your house is it still your house?
02:52:05.000
Like, if you buy a pot of land, and they drink your milkshake.
02:52:29.000
Let's make scheduled times when we see each other.
02:52:31.000
You're going to do a comedy club down there and a podcast?
02:52:36.000
Most likely I'm going to do a comedy club there too.
02:52:41.000
You're going to have your first winner and you're going to be like, why the fuck am I here?
02:52:45.000
So this is Daniel Day-Lewis explaining to this guy how he drinks his milkshake.
02:52:51.000
He's explaining to this guy how he puts his pipes underneath this dude's land and he drinks his milkshake.
02:53:00.000
There's a number, you know, I don't know how far under your house You've got that Motion Plus shit still on your TVs,
02:53:17.000
That setting that makes it look like a soap opera.
02:53:21.000
Both of your TVs have that where it stabilizes the shake of a natural camera, so now it looks like a soap opera.
02:53:28.000
No, your TV settings on both of these TVs have your Motion Plus turned on.
02:53:40.000
Yeah, it's got that creepy look where it looks like there's no jiggle in the camera and everyone, it's like there's just tripods everywhere.
02:53:49.000
I would have never noticed if they didn't point it out.
02:53:51.000
I know what you're talking about, but I don't see it.
02:54:05.000
It's like, you know how most TV shows have like a little, like you're holding a camera, like a realistic kind of like breathing of somebody filming it.
02:54:13.000
When the Motion Plus fixes all that, it makes it so it looks like it's just on a tripod and somebody hit record and they're recording somebody sitting there.
02:54:24.000
Most TVs have it turned on to begin with because TV companies think that looks better and people want that.
02:54:36.000
I mean, I have heard of it, but I never thought of it.
02:54:39.000
Auto Motion Plus is a motion smoothing feature that eliminates ghosting and blurring that occurs from fast-moving images.
02:54:46.000
So it's great on live TV, like sporting events or parades, which are filmed at 30 frames per second.
02:55:03.000
But it doesn't, does it affect like how it looks when things are moving fast?
02:55:08.000
Probably because it's, it's, it's not, there's no jiggle to it, you know, but it already doesn't have jiggle to begin with.
02:55:14.000
So would it be better to do it that way with movies, but the way with the motions shit with like fights and things like that?
02:55:21.000
Fights probably not, but like football and baseball or something like that.
02:55:25.000
Something that's stationary cameras for the most part.
02:55:53.000
Probably like, I'll test myself on Thursday too.
02:56:08.000
And when you get those hot sauna things, do you have somebody babysitting you in the outside just to be like, hey, check on me every 10 minutes.
02:56:15.000
Are you scared of passing out or something like that?
02:56:25.000
Next thing you're going to wake up, you're going to be baking.
02:56:29.000
180 degrees, legitimately, it sounds hot, but once you get accustomed to it, because I've been doing it for months and months, like I started out, I would do like 150 or 160, 170, and then I went too high.
02:56:40.000
I got way over like 220. I was in like the 220s.
02:56:48.000
I don't know what the fuck's flowing through that guy's veins.
02:56:51.000
He's got some fucking mercury flowing through his veins.
02:56:55.000
But then I got to about 180. 180 is like tolerable, but it's a struggle.
02:57:00.000
Like if you do 180 for a half an hour, ooh, those last five minutes are rough.
02:57:08.000
You're telling your body who the fuck is in charge here.
02:57:16.000
You're going to get through it through breathing?
02:57:24.000
Laird Hamilton wears oven mitts and he cranks that shit up to 250 degrees and rides an airdyne bike.
02:57:45.000
Like, some of the surfing shit, you watch him, and he's just dedicated to, like, continuing that lifestyle, keeping his body fit, like, deep into his 50s.
02:57:58.000
Out there in this 250 degree sauna with a fucking Airdyne bike inside of it.
02:58:04.000
I mean, you gotta be someone really special to...
02:58:07.000
Your number one thing that you love to do is ride 100 foot waves.
02:58:14.000
Number one thing you want to do is balance on the fucking tip of the ferocious nature of the ocean.
02:58:23.000
You're inside the mouth of the most ferocious aspect of the ocean, the biggest waves, before they break on the shore.
02:58:35.000
You have to be a crazy person to want to do that.
02:58:48.000
Put those headphones on so you can hear yourself.
02:58:50.000
I don't want to fucking do a show in a parking lot and then not do comedy for another four months.
02:58:58.000
That's like showing up with a line of coke and leaving me alone.
02:59:13.000
And then work myself up to 30. Get the endurance.
02:59:27.000
You should record your shows on your phone from now on.
02:59:31.000
That way you can always go back and you always know your material.
02:59:36.000
What I was thinking five months ago and what I'm thinking now is completely different.
03:00:06.000
Something had to happen to you the last five months.
03:00:10.000
I'm gonna come back with Gay Bob as my neighbor.
03:00:20.000
You know who's going to light that stage on fire first?
03:00:24.000
Bill Burr's at home with a new kid, four months.
03:00:28.000
You're never going to see anything like that the first time.
03:00:31.000
Oh, I can't wait to hear him talking about babies.
03:00:35.000
Nobody's going to build Bill Burr out right now.
03:00:43.000
You know, hasn't done dick, whatever, great guy, playing the drums in his basement.
03:00:50.000
He's going to come at this with a complete different outlook.
03:01:01.000
We're going to go out there like fucking gangbusters.
03:01:14.000
Right now they're saying January, but they're saying January and they're winking at you.
03:01:19.000
Yeah, by the time everyone gets around getting it and everything, I'd say April also.
03:01:28.000
Depends what type of job they're doing, if they social distance.
03:01:47.000
They ain't social distancing in those four feet.
03:01:52.000
Masks and gloves and they really try their best.
03:01:57.000
I went to get my hair cut done for that week that it was open.
03:02:09.000
Isn't it true that California is the only state...
03:02:13.000
California's the only state that doesn't let hairdressers open?
03:02:29.000
Otherwise you can stay open until 8, 9 at night.
03:02:37.000
So you have to have your hand through a shield.
03:03:05.000
They're hitting them with some crazy fines, like $15,000 a day.
03:03:10.000
It says you can get a haircut outside as of July 20th, 29th.
03:03:20.000
And my friends that do hair out here, they said that they can't even, like, have you come to their house, because if they find out, the Hair Association, they'll pull their license.
03:03:28.000
The question, though, was, is California the only state that bans...
03:03:42.000
You can make $600 from the government or you can take a risk of getting some disease that might kill you to clean someone's nails.
03:03:50.000
Yeah, but the problem is, from what I'm hearing, is a lot of people are not getting any checks.
03:03:54.000
Like, they got one big one, and then they haven't heard anything for months, you can't call anybody, you can't get anything, so it's like, I have to pay rent, so what am I going to do?
03:04:07.000
I don't have, like, when I look at this, I don't have a clear way out of this.
03:04:40.000
My worry is that they like telling people what to do.
03:04:52.000
People love getting people to comply with everything.
03:04:55.000
And if all of a sudden they have this power to keep you from working...
03:05:11.000
I don't even like fucking sitting next to people before COVID. Okay?
03:05:15.000
So you won't see me in a restaurant until fucking San San Gennaro.
03:05:20.000
There's things that are, you know, if you're going to stand out here with 40 people for a piece of chicken, You should be shot and hung and then shot again.
03:05:28.000
You know, I was very, very, very, very, very, and you know this, upset about the stand-up.
03:05:42.000
I understand the need to need money, but I don't understand the need.
03:05:47.000
There's only one Dave Chappelle, so everybody should stay home and mind their fucking business.
03:05:53.000
Nobody needs to go on the fucking road because by a hitters like you going on the road, We have a little power now.
03:06:20.000
You never pleaded with me to not go to Houston.
03:06:25.000
I said, mind your fucking business and stay the fuck home.
03:06:28.000
This is where you said, Joe Rogan, why are you going to Texas?
03:06:35.000
You wear a mask, you come in, you sneak in, you can't sanitize her.
03:06:53.000
Once Brendan and fucking the other guy got it, that set you off a little bit.
03:06:59.000
And you have children, and you have a wife, and you have responsibilities.
03:07:06.000
If I got you sick, or you sick, or you got Jamie sick, or anybody working here, that would be...
03:07:15.000
I'm like, if the health department says you can do it, and they social distance, and you wear a mask, and you could do it.
03:07:21.000
But then I got there, I'm like, you probably can.
03:07:24.000
You probably can like 4 out of 5 times, or 8 out of 10 times, or 12 out of 15 times.
03:07:34.000
If you're in these large groups of people and everybody's laughing, like, what is better at spraying a disease than streaming?
03:07:44.000
Part of this game is taking a picture of people and answering a question, you know?
03:08:07.000
We're doing all this stuff by the book, or I won't do it.
03:08:13.000
But even by the book needs to be examined, like what by the book is.
03:08:16.000
By the book is, I'm going to sit in my fucking car three feet from the fucking door.
03:08:21.000
When I'm three minutes to go up, you knock on the fucking door.
03:08:24.000
I go in, I do the comedy, and I go back in my fucking car in between shows and I take a ride.
03:08:30.000
Then I come back at 1040. When everybody's seated, then you do it again.
03:08:35.000
You can't go in the fucking green room in the morning.
03:08:38.000
Because anything after three or four people, we got it.
03:08:46.000
I don't know about you, but when I fucking, you know, when I was a kid, people tell me, Joey, give me the news, not the weather.
03:08:57.000
It's really 30 feet if you really think about the distance.
03:09:09.000
When I get excited and I'm fucking yelling, I'm doing a fucking bit.
03:09:27.000
When they drill your mouth and you smell your teeth burning and whatever's stuck in between there.
03:09:56.000
The one show where somebody gets up and says, fuck you.
03:10:01.000
And somebody throws a bottle and we have a problem.
03:10:08.000
So for that, I will not go on stage until everybody's settled.
03:10:17.000
Your salvation right now in isolation is the internet.
03:10:22.000
And you go on the internet and you get off feeling even worse than what you felt like when you went on it.
03:10:31.000
You avoid the TV. If you have any intelligence level right now, you have to avoid the TV. And if you throw Don Lemon on or the other fucking cocksucker, it's even fucking worse.
03:10:42.000
Don Lemon, I'll sidekick him in the lung if I see that cocksucker.
03:11:22.000
If it was up to me, Joe Rogan, I would have moved to Montana, you know.
03:11:30.000
Let's just get out of California, detox a little bit, and let's talk.
03:11:47.000
Let's call it, just for so everybody knows where we're coming from.
03:12:20.000
Emilio Vestibes was going to play him, and when the movie came up, he was too old for the movie, and he used his brother, Charlie.
03:12:52.000
Well, I hope you're wrong about April, but whenever it is, we'll be more appreciative, I think.
03:13:06.000
I know they know that, for sure, crocodiles have gone without eating for a whole year.
03:13:13.000
Somebody told me that, and I can't stop thinking about it.
03:13:16.000
Because what if they don't starve to death, they just shrink?
03:13:19.000
And I also heard lobsters, but I heard that was fake.
03:13:28.000
Until you shrink, if you don't have enough food, you get down to nothing.
03:13:38.000
They only can be killed by starvation or accidents, it says.
03:13:45.000
Instead, they just get bigger and bigger until they're inevitably killed out by starvation, accidents, or disease.
03:13:52.000
This is the reason we don't see crocodiles the size of Boeing 747s in the wild.
03:13:57.000
So if there was an unlimited amount of food and no disease, we vaccinated crocodiles and gave them an unlimited amount of food.
03:14:10.000
Didn't we figure that out the other day that crocodiles are as old as some dinosaurs?
03:14:15.000
Like dinosaurs were like 65 million years ago, but crocodiles go back for like a hundred million years.
03:14:37.000
So that's 15 million years older than when the asteroid hit and killed everything.
03:14:46.000
Dude, I remember seeing one for the first time.
03:14:51.000
My dad was going to school in Gainesville, and we were down there.
03:14:55.000
You throw marshmallows in the water, and the alligators come and get it.
03:14:58.000
I was like, this is the strangest shit in the world.
03:15:00.000
There's a 10-foot lizard just ate a marshmallow in front of me, and I'm not even worried about it.
03:15:04.000
Like, when in the world is a fucking giant dinosaur, like, feet in front of you, and you're not freaking out?
03:15:14.000
They became too dangerous, and no one wanted them around.
03:15:17.000
But alligators look like crocodiles, but they're just chill enough that people don't freak out too much if they're around.
03:15:32.000
If you live in Florida, you get alligators in your yard all the time.
03:15:53.000
The big cats and, like, caimans down in, uh, oh my god, bites them right in the head.
03:15:59.000
But big cats, like, uh, caimans that live down in the Everglades, or not the Everglades, the, um, Amazon, they eat, those leopards eat, uh, or jaguars, they eat crocodiles down there all the time.
03:16:13.000
They jump in the water behind crocodiles and bite them in the head.
03:16:21.000
But a crocodile and an alligator, that's a real live dinosaur.
03:16:32.000
So what are you going to do for your birthday, dog?
03:16:43.000
Maybe IHOP. IHOP. Go shit blood for three fucking days.
03:16:54.000
I went to that pancake place in Burbank with a mistake.
03:17:05.000
Last time I had a good pancake was a place in Boulder.
03:17:16.000
I love pancakes for the five minutes I'm eating them.
03:17:28.000
I remember when they first came out, you and Tate Fletcher.
03:17:36.000
You still eat the fish sandwiches, you nasty fuck.
03:17:39.000
Every time I go to McDonald's with my daughter, I'm like, that cocksucker eats filet of fish sandwiches.
03:17:52.000
But you can't tell me that a McGriddle doesn't taste delicious.
03:17:57.000
It's the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life.
03:18:02.000
It's a delicious combination with the mystery meat and the cheese.
03:18:13.000
I could do a fucking Egg McMuffin if I have to.
03:18:18.000
I like Egg McMuffins, but if I'm really tired, I'm like, fuck it, I get a McRiddle.
03:18:31.000
No, they had that one sandwich that was the rib.
03:18:45.000
Why do they ever take it off the menu if people like it so much?
03:19:34.000
You're saying that the guy who writes the science fiction books comes up with the best religion and you don't want to pay taxes?
03:19:42.000
That might be the worst German accent of all time.
03:19:44.000
There's conspiracies about why it's not on the menu all the time.
03:19:47.000
It's a deep debated topic online for about 10 years.
03:19:53.000
They probably know that if they give it to people 40 days in a row, they just start dropping dead.
03:19:57.000
So they were like, listen, just give them 20 days of McRib.
03:20:03.000
If they buy 20 days of McRibs, then they die 36 days.
03:20:11.000
Once a month I get zapped into going to get a happy meal.
03:20:40.000
So two weeks ago, I had to go in there with the mask on and go, can I talk to somebody?
03:20:47.000
The last two times you come in here, you advertised emoji, but you gave them the fucking frog.
03:21:01.000
But the last two times, I even tell them, she's a girl.
03:21:05.000
Sometimes they ask you, is she a boy or is she a girl?
03:21:07.000
She came here for a certain fucking thing and you gave her something else.
03:21:23.000
Didn't they try to outlaw, though, some places?
03:21:25.000
They tried to outlaw giving toys into Happy Meals, because they're like, no, no, no, kids like them too much, and it's forcing kids to eat bad, because they want that toy.
03:21:34.000
I give her the apple slices, three of those fries.
03:21:37.000
Listen, I grew up in a house where I wasn't allowed to eat fast food, only in Miami.
03:21:45.000
The only thing I was allowed to eat was, don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight.
03:21:50.000
She would say, you're not going to eat my rice and beans?
03:22:00.000
Five dollars, three pieces of chicken, some ruffle fries, a little piece of jelly.
03:22:06.000
In those days, I really wanted to be American, so I dipped my french fries in the jelly.
03:22:11.000
That's what my gross days, when I first came from Cuba, don't cook tonight.
03:22:17.000
Joey, what is that Cuban place that you took me to, the one that used to be near my house in Encino?
03:22:30.000
But we ate there once and I had that garlic chicken with the raw onions.
03:22:42.000
Just as you were pulling it up, I feel like I saw it first.
03:22:50.000
Does it show an image of that chicken with raw onions?
03:23:10.000
Like, there's the spices and shit for Cuban food.
03:23:15.000
Cuban food, like, really, like, spicy Spanish food.
03:23:20.000
There's something about the pop of those ingredients, you know?
03:23:24.000
With that fucking garlic chicken with the raw onions and that sauce, that's like a lemon sauce that they had, Joey?
03:23:50.000
Listen, if we all move to a different place, maybe we'll love each other more and we'll get together in a specific spot.
03:23:59.000
I might wait a while, you know, everyone will get their feet on.
03:24:06.000
Because they're talking about raising them up significantly.
03:24:09.000
And lowering the police and defunding the police from the schools.
03:24:13.000
And trust me, I hear this from my wife every night.
03:24:34.000
I was at the store at a different time than Kennison and Dice, and it was just as magical.
03:24:40.000
But sometimes I'd rather not be Willie Mays and go play for the Mets.
03:24:45.000
If Willie Mays was smart, he would have gone out with the San Francisco Giants.
03:25:06.000
It's so nice we had this time together just to have a laugh or sing a song.
03:25:14.000
I have no idea who this is the worst impression.
03:25:17.000
And before you know it, it's the time we have to say so long.
03:25:41.000
I want to walk out like a man with my feet instead of walking on my knees.
03:25:56.000
Move into the house, put my daughter in school, shoot a couple days in The Sopranos, and then you and I will talk business.
03:26:06.000
You and I will call, and we'll decide what we're going to do.
03:26:09.000
If we go to Montana Red Band, it's going to be colder than fuck.
03:26:26.000
Welcome us with a tax break with the whole thing if we just opened up a comedy club in Montana.
03:26:32.000
People would love to see Brendon Sharp in Montana.
03:26:37.000
Hawaii's too easy and we gotta fight the alligators.
03:26:43.000
Right now, if you fly there, you have to wait for two weeks.
03:26:46.000
I think that shit goes to September 1st, doesn't it?
03:26:50.000
And I want Montana, because it's hard to get there.
03:26:59.000
And it's going to weed out the week, and it's going to make you stronger.
03:27:07.000
Mandatory 14-day quarantine has been partial inter-island quarantine reinstated.
03:27:25.000
If they catch it on one of those islands, it spreads through the whole fucking island.
03:27:34.000
Listen, per capita right now, Arizona is the worst.
03:27:38.000
I called the guy I kidnapped the other night to check in with him.
03:27:44.000
I heard he was having a rough time, so I called him to see if he needed anything.
03:27:48.000
And he told me he doesn't leave the house because he's got his mom.
03:28:05.000
Anywhere there's migrant workers, they get hit.
03:28:09.000
Anywhere there's people that don't believe in masks, they get hit.
03:28:13.000
A lot of churches, people that want to go to church, they don't give a fuck, they start singing in church, they get hit.
03:28:21.000
Churches, unfortunately, people when they say you can't ban houses of worship, Boy, that's a tough one.
03:28:38.000
So I understand you have to go and see and sing and dance.
03:28:43.000
For right now, for what's going on right now, I don't know what's in the Constitution.
03:28:53.000
If you want to have the congregation, anything over eight people, you're playing with fire.
03:28:57.000
Anything over six people, you're playing with fire.
03:28:59.000
But even then, unless you know where those people are, if they're living with you, fine.
03:29:03.000
But if you don't know, they should figure out a way to do it outside.
03:29:07.000
My friend who's a pastor in Ohio does it outside every Sunday.
03:29:13.000
You can do it outside until it gets really cold out.
03:29:29.000
Dad, I don't want to go to church by the bonfire.
03:29:47.000
For real, think about, I mean, I hate to keep us going for a second here, but think about how weird this has been, like, doing these podcasts over these years.
03:30:00.000
Let's talk shit and Do it over and over and over and over again and people just enjoy episodes What do you what's your new thing gonna be after you do the church?
03:30:13.000
I'm thinking of different ideas called the New Testament No, I'm gonna take your kick.
03:30:19.000
First of all, I'm gonna take your thing of using my name.
03:30:27.000
I think it's either gonna be Uncle Joey, something with Uncle Joey.
03:30:40.000
Let me figure out these steps to the 24th or whatever this shoots.
03:30:52.000
How do You Know Me Sell a shirt that says, you know me, dog.
03:30:54.000
Because nine out of ten of all the fucking best stories you've ever told me start with, you know me, dog.
03:31:00.000
There's a you know me, dog, when the story gets crazy.
03:31:04.000
If you just had a shirt that says, you know me, dog, that would be a gigantic hit.
03:31:11.000
Do it before those fucking hyenas out there, the people that are listening to this.
03:31:18.000
Make that motherfucker up a shirt that says, you know me, dog.
