2:12 25 years of music. I've got to be him, but where can you be him except for sixth grade? And so you had already gotten into music? You'd put one record on and then the other. Well, here's the thing. yeah there's that intangible when you see a guy like dice they can say like some of the most Did you really?

5:35 And another guy would laugh and he'd go, And mean dice will start picking on people in the audience. What the fuck, man? that's what's different now that's a big thing that's different now is coke the comedians are He had voices talking in his head for a year after that. Let's keep this rolling, man. Then we'll go to this party in the canyon. that sleep you're like working at like 40% capacity but you have to struggle

8:32 And you think about what you've made it do. You know what's weird, Joe? But comedians aren't looked at as old comics. They're looked at as like you know old rockers or whatever but comedians aren't looked at as old You do you have to come to their own you have to understand your own bullshit, too Did you go to AA or one of those things where you stand on a podium and make people laugh?

You know that record failed when it first came out. Well, dudes liked it, but it wasn't, you know, it took, you had to wait until you got the

15:50 It's like you tried to be grunge there. this to people and you have tattoos and I have tattoos in this era of the eighties, when you Now you've got like 16-year-old kids that have sleeves. that is the or something biblical. I like Burr. I like you. to candy, though. I went over to his house I work seven nights a week, man. You know why it's brutal?

18:25 Right? It could be with you. Toronto. was the Epic Night the comedy underground there? room, you can't even see the got off stage, and he took off his shirt None. None. No, it's all pot smoking. They get this... How does the wave... What over it? This guy who was my, he wasn't even an agent. Fuck hash was back then and look at all the tools This is why potheads have a bad name.

22:26 Haddish and Tony went across were passed out like it was a crack house. Yeah. That's the dumbest fucking idea ever. They were looking through you. If you had thought that years ago i got back into weed big time before i started comedy and uh i was like whoa this is an You could get a hold of some really strong weed. Rarely you would get I was a judge.

25:39 You know all those things that people do for vitamins where they have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, relationships. It's like your friend. Like, oh, Some of it has a different kind of flavor to it, but not enough that you would award it anything. It's like that oily black hash hash, especially if you're eating it, Like, I feel like there's no feeling below.

27:18 When was the last time you smoked weed? The drinking was done? I burned it up hard, Joe. That's all he ever does. You've got in-ear monitors. guys look like now? They look the same. There's us. Look at my shirt. There's a lot of people that got Che Guevara tattoos that didn't know a goddamn thing about Che Guevara My Instagram feed. there was just no money for a mid-level musician anymore.

30:26 like hey you've been gone for three months you have no money you know so i i stopped and i started somewhere else and they come over with their bike like hey man look I bought because you're kind of a professional manipulator in a lot of ways. Because they just don't know how to ride. You get that one of the most brutal streets. It's brutal. That something popped up in front of you and it's too late and boom, old lady's flying through the air.

33:36 And she was trying to speed and get into that gap. And I watched her afterwards. But I was like, this was just like a game. another car starts coming. Then she slams on a brake, He's Periscoping. But then we get to a stoplight, and I pull up next to her. she's like like that and then when it turns right she just tries to side slam me again you should

35:31 What's this gal's name? You will live your life in torture And you will never learn Sideswiped my car the other day And Van Owen had this car that someone obviously hit full speed in the rear. And she just fell asleep, like in a lane. And cars were like full stream going. Look, her car's moving. What the fuck? somewhere, I'd give her a pass. I'm laughing, and then I knew the guy.

38:26 She's pressing the gas and the car just drove right into all the other cars because he had no steering That's like five glasses of wine. yep it's like for for cops it must be like the easiest pickings ever on friday and saturday a case of beer and two shots of fire but no they definitely would not what they Or WKYT? What is that? Those are the ones that are tuned in to Survivorman Bigfoot right now.

41:06 I love that Bigfoot thing because do you see the guys that they said they're the ones that did that photo in 72 or whatever? You pulled it down? Don't fucking hate, bro. approximately 10,000 people are killed by drunk drivers annually in the U.S. It was used alcohol limit of 0.08 blood alcohol content as its standard. Do you think that's what it is or do you think it's because they realize that more people are actually crashing

43:29 And you'll just keep pushing it. and breathe in her ride so she could drive concentration of.08 or higher across the country, including federal property. That was the last of the real ones. Oh, yeah. Let's just get that out of the way and uh the fact that she's a woman that's also a But that's the case with anybody that's involved in high-level politics like that.

45:47 Those campaign contributions are critical. Give me a million bucks. When they talk about the amount of time that a guy actually spends campaigning and trying to raise money, make it into those debates, just to try to get into debates. that they choose. even more difficult for an independent person to debate in the presidential elections. That's a broken system.

48:05 People liked Clinton until he got caught getting a blowjob. Yeah, at the White House. Google that. He just falls asleep all the time. together on the white house oh see see how the story changes though that's not see how the story of a brother, too? They both had a mess of a to do with it yeah it's just they're paying him j him. Jimmy Carter was one of the guys that I was, I remember being young and listening to him talk, and I believed him.

50:39 Right. 70s was wild, right? That was crazy. Hmm. It was when they were trying to figure out the Saudi oil situation. It took us until like the 2000s before we were covered. Oh, the worst. To this day. Yeah, I'm selling it right now for my buddy. Just email me, Dean Del Rey. You almost did it. I love the Hellcat. It's just like you can't beat it. Just derr!

54:15 73 Kudas are still badass. I love the 69 Super B with the 446 pack and the pistol grip shifter. But they only nailed it for three years. And sometimes you'll see one go for a million bucks. They have like this RK Motors in Charlotte. I'm just like, this one. Yeah. You try to sell someone a 75 muscle car, good luck. good lord what oh there you go 69 in the middle there black look at that one there 109 000 yeah

56:58 Yeah. Those pro-touring cars, Look at that 70 Chevelle Supersport. Good Lord, that makes my dick hard look at that Top. Everything's new. drive around hard yeah this was the last uh last couple years of the Chevelle, too. Look at that. My Corvette's cooler than that and I had him change some things on it, I'll bring that car to the store Aren't they? Superhero cars. That love that car. I love that car. They're such radical designs. Aren't they?

1:00:01 new car that Corvette has created Yeah. What? Oh, yeah, it does. race car that you can buy And it'll bury like most really high-end sports cars. That's not good for us. Look at the torque. It was like the next level. Right there, jean shirt. Don't get it twisted. Do you notice I'm doing his show. Wow. they came back in a big way. They said it was the best exhaust note ever done.

1:03:59 No, pull up the exhaust note. Yeah, try Yahoo. You can change the Oh, that's when you open up the sport valve. See, women... Oh, my God. That's a of the greatest sounds a muscle car has ever made. Listen to that. See, women... Oh, my God. That's so great, man. Just stop. Learn how to drive a stick. no matter what you do. On those hills? Three streets, they say, are the tallest hills in California above San Fran.

1:06:56 both leaning sideways on this fucking hill trying to stay straight connected to each other and the Yeah, absolutely. sunk and the gas lines cracked and the whole thing went up in flames how long Before I had moved here. You're like, this is going to be great. Dude, that shit is real right there. That's brutal. what were your parents doing there my dad was was, my stepdad, when I was

1:10:25 and then the kids would play in the box. Because I was in North Hollywood, Sliding back and forth. I saw it. What's it called? Pet sounds was the record that the Beatles said, oh, my God, we got to make Sergeant Peppers. record one guy really insane. That's the one right there. It's arguably one of the top five albums of all time. It's so good. Yeah.

1:13:52 Unless it's a DVD for my kids. rolling you can rolling paper which which band king chong yeah big bamboo record came with a You'd break it up and then you would be doing It was always Mexican brick weed for me. started growing that killer, those cola So Humboldt was where a lot of that stuff came from. weird because logging went away and a lot of those guys actually voted against legalization

1:16:52 like i have to adjust my business but the right thing to do is to vote for legalization yeah i'm I feel like you should see fucking gauge cluster, and that's it. blasting Zeppelin. and you don't see it, and you can see behind you, too. That is a big one where it's up in here. It's just like right here, and you don't see it. I always talk about people like you. There's two things I hate when you're riding.

1:18:46 and they didn't have it you know i had to sell it got you know wife had the kids it's just like These people are maniacs. You're stuck on the 405. This fucking guy isn't even surrounded by anything. They just did a bike. How come I have to have a seatbelt? This fucking guy isn't even surrounded by anything. you're like, how come I have to wear a seatbelt?

1:20:49 Now you're talking about them on a podcast. Oh. Ooh, Jesus Christ, that's a mess. and stuff like that in that one like But it was raining, so I go, well, I'll just sleep and wake up the next day. And I just go. Really? must be really fucking keeping the grapevine. You were barehanded? i was so mad and then i i did 15 minutes and turned around and rode home oh my god

1:24:51 I was like, ah! Yeah, you should. A cut from hitting these things at like 90. That's why some people don't. You're doing comedy in Arizona? Everyone's riding around in shorts and shit? How the fuck is there Oh, you get to Arizona? A lot of other states, yeah. You're doing comedy in Arizona? Arizona's a nutty state. Guns anywhere. All right, man, we'll take it easy.

1:27:11 where you check your guns in. have a glock nine millimeter it's like it shoots like it's it doesn't like there's no it doesn't If you're hunting with a rifle and you hit something, that thing's dead. That is so great. Oh, God, that video. pistols. Just boom! Well, he represented a weird part of San Francisco that wasn't represented anywhere else in the world.

1:29:49 Runs for mayor, wins. Just 82. Yeah, that's what Dirty Harry was really all about. Suck it. Yeah. I love that. You know, I always get killed. because if you're going to really do this, Piano. And you're a holdout. I had one great girlfriend. Just rock. Just rock, man. She's the one that got away. Yeah. She is the one that got away. was a great girlfriend like seven years lost her to rock and roll yeah just you know just rock

1:33:11 Maybe you did. You know what I like about her, though? Maybe then she would like I don't miss a night. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I never wanted to hear this. Once I started, I was like, whoa, this is hard. But the survival mode is brutal. You got to be careful. Did it look easy from the outside? I don't take a day off. Then I write all day from the sets. I love it. He's doing it still out of his

1:37:02 And so he does it on a regular I had him on. it was like when the first time Brian and I had thought about doing something. You were right. And we talked about it. He just had a kitchen and a bedroom. He's like you. He's self-made you know what i mean like he doesn't wait for people to come to him he just does it You can't have a guy like that under that kind of constraints because you're never gonna get a Tom Green

1:40:26 That's us. Yeah. Is it different? Is it the same place? Andy Dick pretty much lives on Periscope now. Check it out. Hey, Eric Griffin. And second of all, Look at you, look at me. tweets like, dude, you trying to psychologically On top of that, his desk is taller. Everybody. And so you go, well, I'll be right back. That's why I think Joan Rivers had it best.

1:43:34 I was booked on that, and something happened. know Carson was a douchebag oh you watch the documentary dick he had a big day And that's kind of stupid now. that yeah he was like we're just not doing that like jimmy fallon is doing that uh kimmel's doing The meat of the interviews Yeah, it's pretty low right? Steven Wright. I mean, it changed his world.

1:46:40 Yeah, because I go all over and people go, man, I heard you on such and such. I don't have it subscription-based. Right. I call it madness. I love Metallica. Send me a tape. They copied those tapes. Lars sent them to guys. I love Metallica. Send me a tape. It's hilarious. Like, word of mouth Christmas gift. It was like a 10 minute thing All I'm saying is metal people,

1:49:10 I haven't seen any beef where podcasters saying hey if you do Adam Carolla show you can't do my show Jay Leno and David Letterman and the late night wars. but they probably have laws like that or unwritten rules like that. Why? Yeah, binge watch which I like to do in a hotel somewhere on the road Because it's a week to week. It's all dark. Like what?

1:51:34 Upload it so I can get it whenever. Because at the end of the day, you do want to kind of find out what the fuck is going on in the world. Immediately. going to be news, Twitter, but riots. There's a lot of streaming services that do that during Baltimore. All that's what it's going to be like. Well, Ustream did a lot of that during the Ferguson riots. There's a lot of streaming services

1:52:40 person in Germany, just It's an arena filled with people. What are you showing me? Because he said the 1,000 people, which you think, oh, that sounds pretty easy. I'm reading. Fuck. You're scrolling. meaning they bought a DVD, you know, or they bought a ticket, a couple tickets, or they watched your special. I like saying people who like you. them it's kind of cool because it's like you have customers it's like say if you were like a guy who

1:55:59 and people that i i loved in life that have, you know, that influenced me. What we want to do is, first of all, we want to dye your mustache. I look at dudes like you and Marin and those And you figure out, like, what is my niche? Because, you know, you just have a microphone and a camera. I go into the podcast app, rather, on my iPhone. up your podcast and I'm listening to it now.

1:58:08 It's a weird time to be alive with all this shit. When we were out on the road, he was working his Because if you do bring other people in, Then you have to pay taxes. What? But it's working with like Dean is is because Dean doesn't have a manager. Well, you know, it's just weird that managers even do that. As a manager, a manager is a long-term commitment.

2:00:33 That guy's not advising you. Go on Periscope We're going to book a gig with this guy, and then we're going to steal that money. Yeah. talented singer, too. One of my best so shut your mouth. They did Hey, you see my phone, Scott? Wow, who did that, man? He's fucking unbelievable. Valley, and this guy is next level for portraits. Yeah. And you're ready to quit?

2:03:37 which was the original plan. They're contacting him That'd be great, right? Come on. It's just a big deal to me, though. Hold on a fucking second here. I think literally people came in there and just drew. I just stumbled onto that patio like, hey, I'm here to do comedy. You don't know. But what he was of what the store was That's such a good idea for a show, too.

2:06:37 Jeff Ross did some time, and I closed it out. I think they might be We're doing a Wednesday night live podcast and comedy show in there. 10 o'clock, Belly Room. The new material show is earlier. Yeah, and then we're right after it. Yeah, okay, I'll love it man Yeah That should be That'd be so fun That's the new material show The new material show That's at 8

2:07:33 It's on like Donkey Kong He did that first record in there right The one that just says Dice? I'm not Dean Del Rey. Let me tell you, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever opened for. And he says, hey, don't eat that shit. And he goes yeah And the manager goes, you cancel this gig. you know and he was like that's the story he told me and I hope it's

2:10:31 I love the one that he did, Shoes. It's a great fucking song. But Life's Been Good to Me So Far. God, that record is so good, man. Desperado? It really is. They broke up, and they got back together again when they realized how much money was involved? I go, can you even fucking, you opening with Hotel California, man? It's the last one before they broke up.

2:12:45 They did, man. You got Glenn Frey, who had a cool hit on Miami Vice. Yeah, that guy's great, man. That's a great song. does too yeah right now it's a huge wave this is probably the biggest wave i've ever seen yeah store i took a seven year break but i started there in 94 i never saw a crop of hungry dedicated like these bonding shows, they have these bonding shows, you know?

2:14:56 It's like, hey, we're all here. you're too that, you're too tall, you're too this, you're too that, you're too tall, you're too short. That is what it is. When I saw Pryor live, it was already really late in his life. People were screaming, laughing, screaming. a group of people back then where they had to be They just weren't that good. But now it sucks, because everybody knows

2:16:53 I'm headlining there at the end of the month. I knew that when I went in there. It's electric. I didn't come in in the 90s Well, that's when I came in. Wow. Yeah. It's crazy, right? And then it started to die off into the 90s. The leftovers. I had some jokes. Yeah, I love the belly room. Especially those roast battle nights. It's great now with Periscope though because all of us just sit and watch it on Periscope

2:20:49 Like at the whites-only table, And Kill Tony, too, is a big part of that, too. and other people in America are listening. This is crazy that you guys have these shows there on a regular basis. On stage, off stage, eating, whatever. Yeah, that Xanax thing. I don't know. Of course it is. You can just tell. I scuffed my new sneakers. one of those incurable ones like lung cancer.

2:23:50 I quit him, man. It it was brutal but it's like i was telling brian i saw this guy he was 30 and he used to hang out at this bar i'd go to all the time one day he showed up He's dead now? I'm in a pill addiction. People are trying to self-medicate. Is that what that's from? Definitely from the coffee. Heart attack calls? Like, people tried to do that because of Scarface. Right. You go to parties and they go, they had a pyramid of coke like people tried to do that because the scarface

2:26:26 I don't know. Yeah. You know? Was it pure? You got to ride it out. totally same thing no like if you eat shit loads of like salt in your body or too much like i've that was too much. Dude, your body Did they really tell him that? I don't know. Let's find a recent image of lemmy. It's like right I See, there he is. There he is with his Love it, right?

2:30:21 Jesus Christ. What was his health scare? Chris Jericho. 69 years old, still parties hard. While on the podcast Yeah, she's invited me back to her house with this girl. I think just wanted to watch us play together like all three of us just hanging out And so we were periscoping. Yeah. I mean, I was pretty sick. You're not Lemmy from Motorhead, bitch.

2:33:20 Well, there was a house that I looked at. oh allegedly this was a story behind this guy and uh they used to call him wild man this guy You got to stop smoking cigarettes. Bell bottom creator. He would treat them like shit. this guy has like been bringing these hookers Two weeks after I thought that, he was killed in that house. Right when I was looking around his house going,

2:36:01 And I go, you know what those cameras are going to show? No. He'd get streetwalkers, bring them up to his mansion. That's so busy by the way. This is coming from the host of Fear Factor Yeah, fucking. No. There's some creepy shit in the Hollywood Hills that has gone down over the last hundred years. This house is going to be barbecues and hugs and good times.

2:38:46 It's tough to buy. I'd probably buy it just to make sure nobody else had it. Lucas Hurdle lives there. Yeah. That's right. It is, man. they're building condos across the street eventually. we should just rent, all chip in, like $300 a a month or whatever and rent a place we could always just crash there Like, nature views are my favorite views, but nature views don't work at night.

2:41:19 you don't want to be too high up. You just gotta see this. Especially on a clear night Oh, geez. 360. Oh, yeah. some sort of a yogi. That's a good move. Well, he sold it to Scott, right? Yeah, yeah, right. The one right behind it, the house behind it. That's a really has. That's a smart move. He owns that place above, well, he sold it to Scott, right? Yeah, yeah, right.

2:42:59 pick like four guys that you want to live with You know, it's like, sounds like work. They'd be like, well, just we'll pay you. You got rent. you fuck it's crazy man that's the worst the worst is when broke people that owe money turn it around I've always wondered. It used to always be a thing that even cops would do. Put on the waders. I've seen eight people in a Prius throw a cigarette out the window.

2:45:34 Daniel Cormier, the UFC light heavyweight champ, he has one. I've been in so many Priuses lately that every Uber driver has one. Christ You're dealing with so many variables. I'm riding. And then now he won't look. Did you see that video of the guy in the BMW? Yeah, he hits him. holy shit out of them. I fucking believe and he loses his house and everything

2:48:38 And he turns, he looks. It doesn't have the fucking plate. That's on La Brea there, you know? So they just cut him off. Yeah. No, it wasn't black. Yeah, see? Two years after that, Gilby Hospital for six months, can't walk, plates in his legs, a cane. fuck them, man. I mean, you know, party. So this because that's gonna weigh on him. Well, the guy kept looking like he's coming up on him.

2:51:59 You might be catching someone at the fucking verge of a nervous breakdown. What? And this city is also filled with gangsters. Wow. How prevalent it is. She was like 60%. I'd give her a pass. If you're a woman, man, the shit that you have to deal with, it's not that much different That's what cops always say. Hey, man.
