The host reflects on a recent corporate comedy tour to Atlanta, blending humor with deep personal observations about aging, health, and lifestyle. The experience was chaotic—ranging from motion sickness and vomiting on the flight to surreal moments like a harp-playing hotel guest and a man obsessed with smelling others’ armpits. Despite the opulence and high expectations, the host criticizes the rigid, corporate structure of such events, contrasting them with the freedom and spontaneity of his early comedy days. He emphasizes that true comedy and life satisfaction come from personal joy, not professional obligations. A key turning point is his decision to undergo knee surgery early to avoid future pain and maintain mobility, signaling a shift toward embracing aging with dignity and control. He rejects modern demands like constant scheduling and digital contact, calling them stressful and inauthentic. Instead, he champions adventure, self-care, and simple pleasures—like eating at a diner or smoking dope—over corporate polish. Ultimately, this trip marks a recommitment to living life on his own terms, celebrating his 60s with humor, resilience, and personal freedom, not by fitting into a system, but by breaking free from it.

and meanwhile as we were leaving the house your wife looked at me and said keep him safe i'm like
what's gonna happen and as literally as soon as we i thought you're gonna have to cancel the show

chicken cutlets about three months ago that when you go to a deli now and you get chicken cutlets
that freezer burn i had look i came from a cuban house everything has freezer burn i'm talking about
the lid on the soda as you're drinking it
you could smell the garlic and the shit from this cuban steak oh yeah it's not happy and that bugs

that thing comes on the top i throw it away next time my daughter where's the ice cream threw it
away you didn't put the fucking lid on it it gets all shitty with ice cube and it tastes like
fucking you know like a banana like my wife had bananas in the refrigerator to make banana bread
right so now everything smells like a fucking banana throw those fucking bananas out all right
get those fucking old bananas out of my house i hate fucking old bananas that's how i make you
that's how you make banana i don't give a fuck hide them in the cellar and bust them out when
it's time i don't want those they smell weird it's just once a banana passes that that three days
that mushy that blackness i can't even eat them like i open up in the van i see a black spot
i gotta break the banana around some bananas oh yeah i just eat like three ounces of it i throw
it away once the black spot i don't touch it under there no i just don't i don't like it
do you gag i used to gag when i all that shit makes me gag so i'm eating the sandwich because
we got so fucking stoned i bought an eighth of this 46 sativa which really knocks you out of
your fucking that was 46 oh fuck yeah it was gunpowder it was mixed with this and that
fucking black toenails and that everything in it and let me tell you something you should have seen
his face when we left both of us i was high as i got down there all i could think about
was that chicken colored sandwich and i mean titan aviation does a great job of doing that
great job yeah it's not their fault they got the sandwiches it's just that freezer so when i go
leave give me that bag he gave me the bag he just took the sandwich out i could smell the freezer
burn in the bag and now i'm puking it and my vomit smells like freezer burn and i'm getting hotter
and hotter and i got a jacket a fucking sweatshirt a fucking draft kings heavy duty you know
protection like it was three degrees out it was three fucking degrees i brought a walk
from the thing to the airplane most people they just said it's over give me
no i'm not doing this we got out of that fucking plane it was brutal we walked 10 feet you get in
the car you touch your pants and your fucking hands the fucking icicles oh it was terrible it
was brutal but the puke was great and i'm puking this motherfucker's giggling like a faggot
and finally i stopped and then i go out and the plane everybody wants to
talk to me up close i'm hitting everybody with vomit breath i was i was the flight i'm a fuck
you see i'm turning green around the gills i would have loved to have seen what the pilots
because you told them you got sick i don't think they knew because oh because i've had that happen
before i had an ex who got like motion sickness and we were on a plane once and they had a puke
bag but what they don't tell you about a puke bag is it's paper that has a little plastic inside
and then starts it leaks no shit started to leak on me so you were puking and it was making every
noise that you like would think a puke would make and i was trying to hold it it was my whole life
and it was i was just sitting there and i what i know what i've taught myself to do is i try to
release pressure like i'm like i try to blow it out because like no one wants to get laughed at
but like once my mom was choking on typhoon i was laughing in her face that was great
but i wasn't mad at you that you oh no no i know you weren't mad but i felt bad but
holy shit to puke because those those planes and it's great this is not a complaint at all
flying private's like one of the coolest things i've ever done come on but it's a small plane
and that the wind it just throws it around a little turbulence was on fire on the way down
dog i kept it together for an hour and a half oh because once we get up we're fine but i lost it
when the plane touched and it was like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry
it went like fucking dog there were times i was looking at the phone and the plane would drop and
the phone would just stay in the air you could take it out of the air and go oh shit oh it was
like astronaut shit you know so i already ate the chicken fucking parm now that plane is going up
and down i'm like nah this is like a fucking this is like one of those rides that you go down great
adventure whatever it was brutal and not to skip to the end but on the way back we took edibles
i thought we were gonna take it easy we were on the way back after you just puked six hours ago
yeah but i wasn't feeling well
So I got to the hotel, and then I dropped an $8 Coke.
All right, when you drink an $8 Coca-Cola in a bottle,
those eight-ounce Mexican ones with cocaine still in them.
Bro, I looked at Lee.
I go, Lee, I got to take a nap.
The Coca-Cola rattled my stomach.
I closed my eyes for about 45 minutes.
I got up, took a shower.
We walked right downstairs.
The car was waiting for us.
Tell them about the car.
Oh, the car was great.
It was a 2026 Mercedes with a fucking roof.
The doorknobs looked like phones.
You could have phones on it.
You could control shit.
You could control it with a fucking, no, no, no, it was Carla.
Yeah, this black dude was, we were torturing him on the way back,
talking about eating asshole and sniffing it.
And he loved it.
He fucking loved it, black older dude.
And we had a good time at the show, but it was like a corporate event.
So they were like, you know, a little bit well-to-do.
And I tried to hold it in a little bit.
You pretty much did your normal set, which was great.
We'll talk about that.
But this black guy, it was honestly like the most,
the most fun show we had that like, we kind of just did a late show for him.
For him.
For like 45 minutes.
In the car.
You were talking about, about, God, what were you saying?
About smelling their asshole.
And this guy was just going, he sounded like Ric Flair.
He was, he was just driving like, woo!
The whole, the whole time.
Woo!
He was going to take us to the strip club.
He was going to take us to Magic City and shit.
I literally, it was my first time in Atlanta.
I was like, so what do we, what are you, I was trying to make small,
I was trying to, I was doing George.
Cause George wasn't there.
I was trying to, some small talk.
Well, what are you going to have Friday?
He's like, what are you doing in Atlanta?
He said, Magic City.
That's his first thing.
No basketball game.
No museum.
Magic City, dawg.
We'll take you down to Magic City.
And I'll tell you what, if I would have known,
I don't mind sleeping over.
I just want to get the fuck out of there.
Right.
But if I knew Magic City was two blocks away,
I would have made a withdrawal, dawg.
I went to the ATM before I left.
My hand froze.
You know, when you open the window and have to put the card in and beep.
I was just, I had, and I was talking to somebody and I put my code and all
of a sudden you have to put like, what do you want?
Twenties or fifties.
I hit it again.
I'm talking.
I'm like, hold on one second.
Jesus.
My fucking hand.
Yeah.
It was frozen.
I couldn't even take money out.
Fucking frozen.
The wind caught it.
It's been bad.
It's been like, I don't think it's been above freezing since I got stuck in
Chicago.
Oh, there's still a full.
There's still, I just backed into a wall.
It's a great wall of fucking snow out there.
Oh my God.
But it was, listen, I've never done a corporate.
So this is your first one.
That was my first one.
35 years of comedy.
Never did a fucking corporate.
And this was my first one.
So I didn't know what to expect.
But from talking to other people, I know what to expect.
They're, they're a corporation, whatever they widgets, attorneys,
whatever they represent, whatever they do.
They're a corporation.
Everybody in that thing is probably college educated,
but nobody went to college for entertainment.
No.
So they don't know guys.
When you get a corporate, when you get any, a private,
any of those things, you go in there with a high positivity.
But you know, there's, and I totally, before we walked in,
as soon as we walked in with the lady tell you.
I'm not going up.
No, we ain't got no microphone.
Oh yeah.
Now all that, but I was used to that, but yeah,
it was even weirder because they had, they had no mic.
They didn't know that.
I, you didn't tell me what was happening before,
but they had no idea that I was just there.
I didn't even, I honestly didn't think I was going up.
I thought at some point,
cause they came in and they wanted to introduce you.
I was like, you know what?
It's that guy's birthday.
It was a fun day.
And then you just told them that I was going to do 10 and they kind of
panicked because they, they had no mic.
They clipped a mic to you.
You like, like a lab, like when you clip down your shirt,
they had like, this was a big company.
So they had this like plush toy that they just,
shoved a microphone inside that they can like throw around the room.
He's up there with a, he looked like one of the three wise men bringing a gift.
That's true.
He had a box the whole time talking into it.
And I don't think it was on, to be honest.
I go Lee man, these corporates and I'm up there 10 minutes.
And also I see waiters coming in with fucking Tomahawk steaks.
I'm like, I'm dead.
Oh dude.
They were, they were shaving truffles.
This is how big of a deal this was first.
They gave us lobster tails, which I don't even, the food was so good that I don't
even like lobster, but it was, it was that good that I ate it.
You know, the lobster claw, they gave it to us unscathed.
Like it was just one chunk of three ounces of lobster meat marinated in some,
this motherfucker goes, I don't eat lobster.
You can take my lobster.
I go, Lee, taste it.
He goes, you can't have my lobster.
That's how fucking good it was.
They gave you a big piece of carrot, these fucking potatoes.
Oh yeah.
What's those things you get with the chocolate, with the green, the red,
the Italian,
Italian cookies.
You fucking, that was potato.
The outside was cooked and then they had little slabs that were cooked in the
middle.
The middle was fucking mashed potatoes.
Like dude.
And it was this guy's 40th birthday party.
They, they had, when I was on stage, they had like,
it looked like just regular pasta with like a white cream sauce or whatever.
But they eat like, they had like 17 waiters,
each with a truffle shaving it into the people.
I wanted to, I wanted to just sit down and eat the pasta.
It was,
and they were, they had a good time.
They're very nice.
They had a really good, very nice.
And we got an education.
You got to see what a corporate works like.
How cool is it?
Like it was like, he found you through your book.
Yeah, that's like, yeah, he read the book.
He liked it.
And then when we were there, we were talking to a lot of people.
Like a dude was there that lived in Boulder.
And he said that his company was number two to Norton Fricke and associates.
Like it was an attorney based people do advertising for attorneys.
How much does the guy says he spends 50 million a year?
He said 50 million a year on advertising.
Meanwhile, we're eating like chocolate cake and drinking Coke zero.
And this guy brought three desserts for Lee.
Oh yeah.
All right.
They brought a chocolate cake.
This chocolate thing.
People, at least I got a taste of a cow.
It looked beautiful.
I just didn't want to eat no sugar that night.
I would just wasn't the mood.
I didn't feel that way on the plane home.
Well, yeah, you gave me the,
and then we got to the hotel and he gave me edibles and,
Titan has really good, because if you fly normal there, you're lucky to get like a snack, a little thing.
Titan had an entire basket full of snacks.
And you told me, he goes, I could eat this whole thing.
I must have eaten like six fucking Slim Jims.
I took a fart the next day, a stick came out of my ass.
Oh, you did go after every Slim Jim.
Oh, my God.
I ate every fucking, that was like 10 of them.
I ate like six of them.
They had chips, they had Pringles.
They just, you know, listen, man.
You can't do this all the time.
I was telling Lee that the last five years of L.A., I was going on the road.
I was having a good time, but not really.
When I say a good time, I was making some money.
But a good time, no, because I'm too hard at it.
I'm too much of a fucking businessman on the road.
I appreciate that these people come into my show, so I got to be tip-top Magoo.
If you want me to walk around your city and eat in the afternoon, I'm not going to give you.
Great show.
So for me, it's just the focus of it.
But I decided for me to do this the next two years, I got to do this my way with fun.
You know what I'm saying?
I got to have some fun.
And I got to have some adventures.
And I don't want to lurk unless there's three chicks giving out pieces of ass.
I ain't lurking.
I don't want to lurk.
There's nothing I want to do.
I would have gone to Magic City to see the chicks.
I saw the documentary on it on Showtime.
I saw the six-part documentary.
Interesting.
The six-part documentary on the show.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
I need to get Showtime.
Either four or six.
But, you know, I enjoy that shit.
But I'm not going to enjoy.
We got to go to Florida.
When I talk to my friend, I'm like, I don't even know how we're going to do this.
We're probably going to leave Wednesday night, do the show Thursday.
And I don't have to tell you what time we're leaving.
We're going right from.
Five minutes after you say, thank you guys for coming.
Yeah, right from the plane.
Why?
It's Friday morning.
Why?
I don't want to land here Friday morning.
I want to wake up.
I'm going to bed Friday and tackle the day.
Oh, yeah.
You know, when I feel bad, my friends come in, our daughter.
And I'm like, they're like, what are we going to do after the show?
I'm like, oh, I got to talk to my advisors because we're all going to have a vote.
Do we stay until Friday morning?
Who are your advisors?
Me, you, and I.
I feel like you're your own advisors.
I don't know.
That's it.
I run it by you guys.
I got to come back.
I can't go Wednesday night.
Fuck, you're out.
Because I don't want to go Thursday and come back Thursday.
No.
At least let's wake up in Fort Lauderdale and Tampa.
That would be nice.
We'll get some Cuban food, a nice Cuban breakfast.
Wait for the chicken to wake us up.
And then we go to Connecticut.
And that's, but I'm taking a handful of people up there.
Like, we're getting a bus or something.
Okay.
Yeah, for Foxwoods.
That'll be great.
Yeah, we'll take a bus up there.
I have to be, the Jew in me did, does come out a little bit.
Because, like, I have no idea.
And I'm sure Titan takes good care of you.
But it's not, I know it's more expensive than a first-class ticket.
It's, but the fact that,
because I'm not going to be able to get a bus.
I'm not going to be able to get a bus.
And I'm sure, like, if you didn't have that, maybe you wouldn't do the show.
So at least there's that.
But it's even, that's how, this is how cheap I am.
Even the Coke in the hotel room, I kind of got, I was a little bit like,
if it wasn't for you, I would have just had the free water bottle.
I'm not paying $8 for a bottle.
That pisses me off.
When in Rome, I mean, do you think I enjoy it?
You think I enjoy it?
Like, here's $8 for a fucking 30 cents.
But when in Rome, that's what the problem was.
That's what the problem was.
And it's something.
like i live like that every day but we're out let's celebrate this is a celebration it's not
just a fucking comedy show anymore it's me being 63 years old let's just celebrate that i'm still
alive all right let's just celebrate that i got two nuts let's celebrate all these things but to
go out on the road and act like i can't do that no more that's what was eating me up before and i
wasn't acting like nothing i was just focusing my energy but you know what we could focus our
energies in a suite with a balcony smoke dope on the balcony throw rocks at the beach you know i
mean that's what i'm talking about everything was very militaristic and that's how i live and i
appreciate it but i got to the point where it was too militaristic it's comedy you know look at
these bands now they're doing all these tours and shit the stones the stones each fly individually
they got doctors they don't do a show two nights in a row they travel with doctors and fucking
masseuse therapy like 80 years old yeah i'll be that's why those rolling stone tickets are
fucking expensive because you're not paying to see the stones you want to see them this is what
it costs to get them here mick jagger don't need this he could go on an island and get his dicks up
but you want to jump around and all that shit i went to team 83 okay it's gonna cost you
not any 83 no more they got a doctor they got a rehearsal studio you know it's not but you know
what they're doing it as a professional as what works for them like i'm trying to do it but at
the same time it's not the stones of the 70s and 80s where anywhere they went there was destruction
and chaos and women getting pregnant and people getting fucked in the ass they were worse than
the diddy party these people were worse than diddy party touring diddy you want to tour with
that's what they were putting octopuses in a girl's pussy what are you talking about diddy with
fucking shaving cream whatever the fuck maybe maybe you all whatever the fuck he was using
they really put an octopus in someone a fucking shark and a kid a baby shark and a chick's pussy
had an orgy in seattle come on that's why you get the comedy you don't get in the comedy and
be all decent with glasses well my daughter is a teen no you get in the comedy to fucking rock
you give yourself a window and you fucking rock
you give yourself a window and you fucking rock
why do you think i got upset with you that day when you're like i didn't eat the mushrooms
that's done you eat whatever they give you on the road that's part of the road experience
listen that's part of it that's part of it yeah some people listen i don't do coke and i will
never do coke again but if i'm on the road and somebody offers me an oxycontin pop that
motherfucker a vicodin pop it what the fuck we're on the road it's not like i'm shooting heroin i'm
on the road that's what it's for it's not fucking no it's a truth when i was my wildest i was my
funniest when i got conservative my funniness got conservative right when you're buck wild you're
buck wild this is why you gotten to stand up not to be a corporate fucking merchant like we became
later on with the podcast and shit when you do stand up it's like riding a motorcycle with no
shirt on you're fucking free you're fucking free you're fucking free you're fucking free you're
like a free faggot you're just your hair's going all over the place like brad pitt you know that's
what it's about it's not about getting a helmet look at me it's about getting on a mountain on
an open fucking highway with no cars doing 80 and getting sun and just breathing and that's what
people have missed out with calm listen when i went on the road with rogan and those eight guys
for like two or three years it was chaos it was chaos it was chaos every hotel
everybody you have eight different personalities so something's gonna go down i can't even imagine
okay five different personalities something is gonna go down we i was going on the road like
being a professional sally like you know that's that's not for me if we're gonna go on the road
it's the fucking do it again i'm not drinking i'm not doing blow but if often somebody offers
me a line of heroin and they're kind of decent like they looked clothed and the club owner
knows them that's all it takes just one little bump just a little just a little something a
little white powder just to get you to put a little pep in your step oh my god how often do
people offer you shit like that all the time when i was rocking and rolling because you're on stage
i mean staten island was the first place i ever went on stage asked for oxycontin nobody threw
him at me usually i go all you gotta do is mention i'm looking for some oxycontins just
mention him it's too expensive now no one wants to share you have somebody's
show up with a bucket here you go pick whatever you want oh my god yeah it's it's it's insane but
that's not the point of it the point when i was doing comedy like a fucking like these guys i
don't do comedy like these guys i don't want a fucking camera in my face every minute if you're
rocking and rolling there ain't no camera it's like the casino when fucking joe pesci's sitting
with frankie vinxen in the booth and the other guy and de niro comes in with a table full of women
and fucking joe pesci one of them frankie vinxen goes look at the narrow he's having a good time
over there and joe pesci's sitting he goes so we yeah so we might as well i mean he might as well
have fun i don't know about snoring heroin it's an exaggeration i just want to make a point lee
that that's what that road is for that's what that road is for people you say well you should
bring an assistant with you for what
i need an assistant on the fucking road that's bullshit that's i don't need somebody to tell me

they want to give you let's go eat at a diner what diner i look like a diner eat it to you

but did did any part of you be like hey rogan take me to a diner and give me the four i need
i want to buy a coat i need to buy a coat
my heart yeah my heart all the time i was thinking of stealing the tips
when you leave like a three dollar tip let me get a hundred at least
i steal the tip yeah i don't blame you especially like if you're if you're broke i got no fucking
money in the listen think about being broke feature not having any money but having access
to that place across the street from the hotel in austin i used to take you to oh yeah yeah that was
our fucking home
home base oh it's 16 just to walk in there and say hello glass of water with lemon 16
dog they used to have a fucking crab meat and shrimp salad can't finish it i'll put it up
against anybody fucking four prawns and pieces of fucking crab meat and that motherfucker
i used to get the gumbo with the fingernails in them with the katrina sweat dude we didn't even
we didn't even check into the hotel we like threw our bags in the room we don't fuck around oh we
not going to the hotel room just give us the bags the little indian guy here's the bag here's 20 hold
on
those things. There's a pound of weed in those
things. There's no pound in there. But he's all
nervous now. It was right across
the street. 50 yards.
And I would go there every
year just to eat at Papa Do's for three
days. The fucking banana pudding
with the little cookies
inside. Oh, I love banana pudding.
That place is top notch.
The cheesecake from A to Z.
We would eat six meals in there
for six days. Yeah. We go to San
Jose, original Joe's.
Like doctors.
We didn't even millionaires.
We would walk in there like doctors. Who cares
if I break even? It's a weekend
on the road.
I'm getting to do what I love and what do you want me to do?
I already went on the road eating
fucking veggie cheese sandwiches
for years when I was
an early open miker.
I would have to split a 16
or 12 ounce fucking veggie
and cheese to survive.
One in the morning and one at night. Hopefully
the club would fucking feed me.
Some chicken nuggets or
something to go and then I wouldn't have to eat the veggie
and cheese sandwich. So now
fuck it. Now let's
break even. I don't give a fuck.
Jesus.
And it is
a lot of fun.
This is supposed to be fun
and I took the fun out of it for years.
Before you go
on stage, that's why the top
comics always say to you, have fun.
You're like, fun? I gotta work
fucking 35 minutes.
No. If you go up there with a smile on your face
life's gonna change. It's gonna be a lot
easier.
It's like me paying you before you go on stage
when the rent is due the next day.
Okay? Do you think
this guy's gonna give you a check?
And all of a sudden
you get to the guy who goes, Joey, can I talk to you?
He's 600 cash. Go do your thing.
Dog, when you walk out there,
you can't even walk out because your dick is so big.
You trip over it. Somebody gave
you money and now you're fucking
on fire.
I don't think I've ever gotten paid before the gig.
When you get paid before you go on stage, it just
does something to you. Because now you really
don't have to wait around. It's from the
Tudor to the Snooter. You just
good night.
Done.
Because it is
like I was a little worried
because I know it was your night.
It was the guy's birthday.
I'm sure they're paying you a good amount.
I don't want to fuck anything up.
They paid me, but I got the plane.
I could have fucking, he would
have bought.
He bought me a first class plane ticket.
I'm going to talk to him into buying you a plane ticket
because you want to bring a friend. That wasn't the point.
The point was I wasn't waking up Super Bowl Sunday
and walking around ATL
Airport. That's a big fucking airport.
That's a big fucking airport, guys.
It just wouldn't have worked.
It just would not have worked. I'm getting surgery
April 23rd.
I can't believe you're waiting that long.
I have to because I have gigs
and I cannot do the surgery
at the end of the month and then go to
fucking Nashville to a big time
comedy festival with crutches
or Connecticut who's paying me good money
or Tampa. They deserve
better. Yeah. So what do you want me to do?
I go to physical therapy. It'll work
out till April. I'll make it work till April,
but I can't do it next week
because then I'll be shit
for those gigs. Right. I got
three gigs. Two in March, one
in April. Done. Nothing till August.
After that, I can just do the dojo
any spot around here. That's
what we'll do. It's no big fucking deal.
Are you going to have them do both knees at the same time? No,
I'm just going to have them do one. All right. I don't need the
other one. Are you going to have them do both
knees? I just need this one. But every time you do one
knee, you tell me that the other knee goes kaput.
No, because you put so much
pressure on this knee, it starts to hurt. But after
a few days, you ice it. When you
finish this one, you put some BPC
157. I shot it with
copper and now I'm back
like herpes, Jack. You know
all the numbers for these peptide things?
You got to know the numbers. Oh my
God. You got to know the numbers on everything. Your
business, your address, your zip code, everything's
got a fucking number. Your pin.
I love it.
That's great. Are you nervous about
it? Do I look fucking nervous?
No, I did it already. I just want to
get it over with now.
So I have to do it when I'm 70
because recovering from this when I'm
63 is going to be tough enough.
70, it's a different bag of
ballpark. I'm going to go in there in good
shape. Like I'm going to go in there lifting
three, four days a week so my recuperation
is easier.
I won't go to fucking jail when
I'm sitting there for two weeks.
I'll still lift in the house. I'll get a kettlebell
and do these things. Anything
to keep fucking because anything
you do after the surgery
helps your healing.
So anytime you get blood going through there
and all that shit, it's like
stealing. So why
would I want to fucking do it now? So I have
to limp to Florida on a plane and have you guys
carry me off the little thing.
Come on, man. Use your
fucking head, Lee. I think
you'd have fun on a scooter though.
I won't have fun on a scooter. I'm 60 years old.
Beeping at people? No?
Leave me alone.
I think you'd have fun. Is that
what you're looking at? Are you looking at like 70?
Is that like the number that's looming
over you? I don't fucking know. I'm just
throwing a number up there. But you don't want to
wait and do this later on when it takes
it's harder to recuperate the older
you are. Let me do it now.
This is going to need to get fixed now.
Two years, three years, something's going to
happen. That's the longevity of it.
It's just the odds.
Do it now. Get it over with.
I have the whole summer to relax.
We've got baseball all June
and July, every fucking weekend.
What do I give a fuck? I'm going to go
to the games. We'll have to do the
podcast at the office like
two, three times. We'll tape a couple
of them in advance so we don't have to come right up here and
kill ourselves. But that'll be it.
That's it. No big deal. It's just another
day in paradise.
It's how you look at things. If you
look at it like, then it's
going to be just another
day in paradise. That's my entire life.
Yeah, another day in paradise.
Why think about it?
Fucking go in there. How do you do that?
How do you not think about things?
For fucking years, I was a regular
person who put everything on the back burner.
Everybody
puts everything on the back burner.
Everybody.
I did it with comedy. I did it with fucking
jobs. I did it with fucking everything.
How long are you going to put your life on the back
burner? There ain't no back burner left.
I'm 60. You can do that shit when you're 30.
And 40. I'll take care of that
later. That's it. The curtain's
almost drawn on me.
Jesus Christ.
Not that I'm dying. I'm just telling you that
at what age do you still
keep putting shit away?
At what age do you keep saying, bro,
I almost didn't have a comedy career
because of two years of procrastination.
That's fucking
embarrassing. That is
fucking embarrassing. What
happened? Fear. Fear of
your life changing. Well, you just didn't start
stand up. Is that what you mean? It took me
two years to get on stage. Walking
around telling people I'm going to get on stage. So
two years because I was a pussy.
That's enough.
That's enough. And that's part. That's all
of us. Yeah. Anything that's going to get us
better. We're scared of
40s. 40s. That was
a good fart. 40s looming over me.
Yeah. So what do you got to do
now? Your attitude has to change.
You can't still be. Well, I got another
year. I got two more years. No
because then you'll be 45.
And you're saying that then you'll
be 50 and you'll be saying
that shit. Do you ever have a homeless guy? Like
he's like a little bit crazy, but
he makes a little bit of sense. Yeah, me
you
wouldn't make a good homeless dude. But no, this dude
came on the train today and
was like yelling at nobody,
but it felt like he was talking to me. Like, I
don't know. I don't know what was it, but he was just like, oh,
so that's funny. You're afraid to be funny.
He was talking like, but he was talking to himself
like the entire train cleared out.
But I like, I don't know. I was just saying I was
like, am I, am I afraid to be funny?
I felt like he was talking to me.
I was like, well, I'm afraid of something.
But after a while,
how much can you be afraid of shit?
For years, I didn't take care of my
health because I was scared of needles.
Years. My fucking
mouth had no teeth because I would rip them out with a
wrench with Jack Daniels and
cocaine instead of going to a doctor like a regular
fucking human being.
I did a thousand things of
procrastination.
How long can you procrastinate?
And how long can I scare myself
to death? Oh, this
knee surgery is going to be scary. They're all
scary. Yeah. But
again, you want a good
set? If you want to have a great set,
what do you do?
Smoke a joint? No.
What? You prepare.
Okay. Yeah. So if you go into surgery
like a lop with no strength,
but my knee,
I couldn't exercise. Okay.
You're going to feel it more.
Yeah. If you go
in there and you're halfway in shape, you're
taking supplements, you're eating good,
you're drinking water, everything's
going to be easier to fucking heal. I'll
pop a couple red light saunas.
You know, this is the shit that you
have available to you.
Is it like, so I guess
sort of like stand up, like if you take a week off and then you do
a set and you're kind of rusty, you know, like you're
not prepared. No,
you have a bomb. Yeah. And you get off stage
and you go, I wasn't prepared. Fuck.
I didn't even look at my fucking notebook
because you know, if you look at your notebook, the charges,
the change, every time you go over your
notes,
the percentages
goes up. Percentages go up that you
won't bomb every time you look at that
fucking notebook and review your jokes.
Yeah. For fucking Staten Island,
I reviewed that joke all week.
I was in there all week because I'm sick and tired of forgetting
shit. Sick and tired. I'm
a grown man. How can I forget material on stage?
And I still forgot shit that night,
but I would have forgotten more
if I didn't go over it.
Well,
it's,
Hold on one second.
I got to piss.
We'll be right back.
We're going to talk to you about.

returned safely.
Who gives a fuck?
Move on.
That is fucked up when that happens, when someone is front and center,
like, oh, they're praying, and then you find out that they did it.
Yeah.
It's all bullshit.
That's something creepy there.
Put it in the past, and let's wait for the Hamas kids to make a comeback.
They must be hungrier than ever now.
Nobody's talked about those Hamas kids in two months.
Those kids must be fucking skeletons walking around fucking Palestine right now.
Getting ready for Halloween.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Give us a fuck.
Dude, I feel like you just have, like, a notebook.
You used to come in with, like, notes to talk about stuff on the podcast.
I think you come in with a thing, like, how are we going to get YouTube to get pissed off on us this week?
The Hamas kids look like skeletons.
I just fucking told you, man.
Whatever, fuck.
I'm not doing comedy for the masses no more.
I'm doing comedy for me and what affects me, and that affects me.
When I sit down to watch, I'm all wound up, I'm high, I sit down to watch World News Tonight,
and I got to talk about this whole twat again for fucking 20 minutes.
She's missing, she's at the border.
Who gives a fuck?
Is that what it boils down to?
She's ruining World News Tonight for you?
Every day I have to hear about Savannah Guthrie's mom.
But again, if that was any of your moms, do you think there'd be helicopters looking for your fucking mom?
No, your mom would be dead already.
They wouldn't even come to our house and interview her.
So enough.
That's Samantha Guthrie, good morning America.
So privilege is privilege.
Hey, dog, we're in this shit.
We've lost our, in fact, I'm done with the news.
Finally.
I'm done with it again.
Yeah, I'm leaving the house at 6.30 now.
And I'm coming back at 7.30 after Jeopardy.
That's my new early so I can watch.
Orange is the new black by fucking 8 o'clock with the lesbians leading each other's assholes and shit.
That's much better than the news.
And I'll tell you what was the worst thing ever.
Guys, listen, and I tell you this with honesty, all of you, I mean the people at home.
You got, I got a short window.
I got a short window.
You got like three hours to talk to me.
And after that, my head goes into, like, I just don't even hear nothing.
I don't know if it's old age.
I don't know if it's low testosterone.
I don't know what it is.
Like, if you want to talk to me about difficult things, don't do it at night.
Like, at night, you got to talk to me like fire, ice cream, like just simple words.
Yeah, if you go into like a fucking calamity, you're going to lose me.
I'm just going to turn my head because you're wasting your time.
What kind of calamity?
What do you mean?
I have a short window.
I'm old.
So when I get up at 7.30 or 6.50, like today I got up at 5.15, I'm ready to stab a motherfucker.
And then the world's asleep.
There's nobody to stab.
So I stay up.
I write.
I learn to music.
I smoke dope.
I play fucking DraftKings, Triple Jackpot.
You know, I do all this shit.
But then I leave the house wired.
I go run my errands.
I'm electrified.
You know, when I come back at 12 or 1, I'm done.
People try to call me and give me, like, I'm doing this roast of New Jersey.
And they call last week.
They go, Dino, we want to talk to you about this stuff.
Okay.
I canceled.
The first two times.
Because at 1 o'clock, I'm taking a nap by 1.
Like 1 o'clock.
What time do you cancel?
12.45?
I cancel like 10 to 1.
But I did the one on Thursday because I was eating lunch anyway, but I had to go to, like
tomorrow, I got to go to physical therapy at 2.
So this is at 1.
But they hit me right back like, let's do it.
What is that when I call Nick?
Nick, what are we doing tomorrow?
Nothing.
Call me at 1.
All right, I'll call you at 1.
But then they want to send you those things.
Zoom?
No.
The fucking link with the time.
And then they want to Zoom and all.
I don't want.
You mean like a calendar invite?
We ain't got that type of time.
Yeah.
This ain't that type of party.
All right?
So basically what they have to do is be like, hey, can you talk now?
Because like, they just want to, they have, they add it to their day.
I don't give, I don't want to need that.
That's too much drama.
That's white people's shit.
Let's start schedule.
Oh yeah, 8 o'clock.
What's your phone number?
And then it pops up on your calendar.
I'm going to open up my iPhone.
There's a red dot.
I'm going to hit it.
Now, I don't know.
Why are they on my thing?
This is not, there's no money here.
This is chit chat.
There's no dough.
So the fucking dude hits me up Thursday.
I tell him, listen, Tuesday.
And then the other guy comes in.
I worked with you.
One of those dudes.
I've worked with you before on a couple of shows.
All right.
I know all your friends.
Okay.
And all of a sudden he goes, let me give you my number.
All right.
Doug.
Friday, he started hitting me up.
Hey, I'm available till six.
But six is never going to work.
You call me at one.
We're going to chit chat for maybe 20, 25 minutes.
Then I got to go.
I'll put you on speakerphone.

joke about betting and his wife doesn't know how much that's on the game like we have rent on this
i didn't have i didn't go crazy but i i had one good bet that saved me the pick six that killed
the patriots i won like 400 bucks so i ended up breaking even but it was and it i was thinking
about this isn't it crazy like you've probably seen 50 55 superbowls like it just is like it
just like i've seen i've seen 30 plus superbowls now at this point it's like
i don't think i've done anything else that many times like every year of your life you've watched
a superbowl it's pretty cool listen man you watch them you grow with them but then again we've watched
50 world series see i don't really i don't really watch any other sport like that i've watched
i don't know how nba finals when i was younger i watched a lot of nhl finals you watched hockey
when i was younger i did yeah i didn't know that when the islanders were kings and the rangers and
rangers you lived here wow i only really did nfl you walk into a room and people talking you know
what they're talking about eventually somebody offered me tickets to a hockey game the rangers
pat the the ref from north bergen when i was a kid i kept bugging him and he got me tickets and i was
blown the fuck away i liked it that it was cold yeah you know yeah i liked all that shit about it
and i just thought as i got older it really doesn't work for me on tv no more aaron berg invites me all
the time and i just does he
hockey yeah oh because he's canadian i didn't know that he's canadian yeah i just you know
but i want to go to a ranger game you know like because they i feel like hockey fans really like
it has it's not as commercial so like they're there they really love it yeah they really love
it nobody wants to go you know people go to a baseball game to get sunny people go to a hockey
game to get hit with the ice and see a fucking tremendous fight yeah but yeah it's a tremendous
fucking punch out you know so but yeah this is uh it's what we do
brother just trying to have a good time i don't want to die and go in a casket with a sour face i
want to have a good time who gives a fuck you know what you work more you've got more gigs
you need money do more gigs deliver pizza i don't give a fuck what you got to do

still living like a doctor it was a different type of doctor it was like a toe doctor but and
now you're a heart surgeon but now i'm a heart surgeon yeah but living like a doctor is not
about money it's a state of mind it's like we grew up in north bergen north bergen is not that
same town it was a state of mind that we grew up in that made us animals all that shit is a state
of mind oh think about it that way it's hard
though but i i agree it's i'm jealous of people like you can do that it's like just kind of like
separate things in your mind not worry about things it took me a long fucking the older i
get the more i was 20 i was shitting blood out of my asshole i had a fucking hemorrhoid in aspen
colorado okay for six months i every time i wiped my ass there was a blob of fucking
blood from worrying and well what's gonna happen tomorrow you know what nothing's gonna happen
tomorrow nothing you're gonna wake up tomorrow you're gonna wash your pussy you're gonna walk
out there to that bus stop you're gonna get on that bus and you're gonna go to your job

do you reread it after you write it or absolutely absolutely like when i go home now i'll talk to
mercy talk to terry and at one point terry goes up i'll do 20 minutes on that notebook
about how i'm feeling how i'm adjusting to things what i'm grateful for
little things i'm grateful for you know so and do you plan it or you just go and see what happens
when i write it yeah i have a plan with one thing that happened that made me write it but then from

stage you know and then and then like will you go back and read like last week's or it's pretty
much burning because i can't read the handwriting that's hysterical i write it so nobody can read it
nobody else can read it i put keywords out so if somebody looks like they can't sell my fucking

FAQs

Yes, the speaker experienced severe nausea and vomiting after landing due to motion sickness. The symptoms started during landing and worsened, leading to vomiting with a smell of freezer burn. The speaker described it as a physical and emotional ordeal, with symptoms including sweating, turning green, and looking like a ghost in the mirror.
The speaker found the corporate event unusual and somewhat out of place, noting it was very formal and lacked the energy of live comedy. He mentioned the event felt like a business meeting, with attendees being college-educated professionals unfamiliar with stand-up comedy, and he didn’t feel he was truly connecting with them.
The lobster tails and chocolate cake were particularly memorable, with the lobster being so good the speaker said he couldn’t even eat it. The hotel's $8 Coca-Cola also stood out, as it triggered stomach discomfort and led to a 45-minute nap. He disliked the food’s quality and called it 'corporate' and 'not real.'
The speaker emphasized that comedy should be free, chaotic, and unfiltered—like a motorcycle ride with no helmet. He wanted to return to the wild, unstructured energy of early tours and avoid the rigid, corporate, and performance-driven style he saw in modern comedy tours.
The speaker decided to undergo knee surgery before turning 70 to avoid complications later in life. He believes that getting the surgery now, while physically and mentally prepared, will make recovery easier and allow him to stay active and healthy during future comedy tours.
