Felony Flashbacks with Danny B

What's happening beautiful people? It's Tuesday, April 31st. The rent is due. The church of what's happening now. New Testament is in full effect. I got my main man Lisa out here, the cano of comedy, and I got my main dog, Danny Biancola. We go back 40 years. So a little longer than that, grab some popcorn and make some notes. And if you like call the attorney and see what the fuck is going on today? What's up, Danny? Your math is wrong. 40 years. It's more like 50 years. Cool. Oh, it's 80 years and cocaine years. Dog life. Dog fucking life. I was going to say, you know, 40 years. This is really nice. It's great to be with you, pal. It's great to see you. And you came up, you saw the old label. Oh, it's like a fucking problem. I thought I needed a passport. That my own neighborhood. Fucking roads. I know. It's not. I know. You saw hot holes. I saw a guy on a roof when machete. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. But it's way they find a parking spot. Well, the fuck it's what got us on the map. They tell me they're renting a B&Bs now on it. My old neighborhood, 70HB in Bergeron. Yeah, I believe it. Fucking to guy. Yeah, they go right into anything that's close to that fucking big apple. And they don't have to pay those fucking prices in the city. Don't keep somebody hitting me up on Twitter. I'm in a hotel in North Bergeron. Where do I get some of these? I'm root fucking three. How's that? Oh, man. I tell you about it. It's frightening down there. It's funny because the guy was talking to, you know, it's the eyeglass store there. And he's like, yeah, it's so bad. They're renting out these things, they're B&Bs. And the funny part is the North Bergeron cops are always in the neighborhood collecting envelopes. I guess there's zoning illegally or whatever he was getting. I don't know if it's true or not. So I'm just going by what the guy's setting on his own to store for 26 years. So I kind of believe him. It's funny because I only come up here on one day. Don't blame me. And I'm going to be as honest as I can with you every Monday is a psychological thriller because I go up a different block. Every fucking Monday. Some one days I go up 76. Some Monday's I go up 88. Some Monday's I go up 82nd Street whatever lets you go up. I take those rides just to see the town. And in your mind, you're just hearing felonies. Oh, I mug somebody that lash packs. I snore to coke in that building. We robbed that place as a kid. You know, I come up here with my daughter. And before we're on the turnpike and we're about to hit, you know, Route 46 and right there says that, what's that fucking gas station I robbed? What's one? No, the big one, the one with the football coach, Lombardi. Like I was driving past. I probably saying, Mercy almost robbed. I said, fuck it, leave it. Well, you robbed the rest area. The Lombardi gas station. They're like on the main turnpike on the main. I think you're doing a small one. No, if you want to spend your envelope, that's where cars come in every year. Oh, you were actually speaking of flashbacks. I was showing my oldest son, Jaden, the bank, TD bank, where Gary took down that led him to prison for the final. I was on 69th and right by the white castles, if you passed the head and down a fair, you have no TD bank. No, that would a butter knife, don't you remember? I think he robbed it with a fishing line. I mean, he might have had that. No. Yeah, the fish butter knife. Yeah, he took a deposit bag, butter knife in a BB gun. So he fucking threw the fishing line down. This is in the 80s. They weren't hit the fucking Northburg and mentality. You just dropped the bag in there. That was this motherfucker one in there like Jack who stole with a fishing line, tagged out the bag, stopped the cab driver. I'm Kenny Boulevard and said, take me to Kennedy Airport. I should have never bought him that pocket fisherman. No, and then he got caught because he tipped the tip. He gave the guy like $2.00. Oh, he always ratted it on himself. Yeah, he ran on the side as a kite and just I can't take it. No, I'm calling Boate. I'm going to turn myself in general. I did it. You know, he, he lived on me for a bend. He'd be gone for like four hours. I'm like, what the fuck is he going? What did he do? Then somebody knocking on the door. I'm paranoid. Like what the fuck? And it's guy like, where the fuck were you? Oh, I was on a roof talking to Boate in general. And they're the cops. You know, the cops have busted me. They got me for a hat trick. I'm one year, three times in a season. But I believe so you were on a roof talking to Boate, Geno and Corey. There's what a dirty detective. So he, yeah, he always ratted it on himself. He's got himself into trouble. But his worst one was the TD bank. That's when the bag blew up. He had to die on him. No, no, no, that gets better, gets better. He's with another kid that's younger. The kids young and they both been up for two or three days. So they find a one kid on the, in the cemetery hiding, you know, behind a tombstone. His mother was the getaway driver. She died a couple of years later. That's why they didn't even bother prosecuting her. But Gary decided to hijack a truck, right? A car guy in a, he don't know how to drive stuck. So he crashed it. He crashed it. When you said he had die over him, was there on his face? The whole thing. I was, you know, when I saw those things blow up. I've seen it in movies. I didn't see anyone actually get it. I remember people blow up with that. Really? You can't take that in court. No, have you gotten hit, but the dies? No, I never robbed the bank. No, that's, that's out of mind. I don't know what else they put dies in. They, you never had any sort of dying or anything, but smaller stuff. No, no, no. But anyway, they found them hiding underneath the car with the blue legs. He was pale and the only thing he saw was his little skinny legs shaking with the blue die on it and the rest is history. He's been locked up since then. That was, yeah, he started doing time in 91, got home in 97 for a cup of coffee, like six months, went back into 2012. He was on the podcast, got back out for six. So out of the last 35 years, he's been locked up all by the year. Yeah. Yeah. Now they got him sedated in northern state by, you know what, the airport. That's where he's sitting. Then he heads for the feds for another 15 years after that. So who's that game over? You know, man, it was crazy. Like we live by no rules, you know, like for years, I live by no rules. Cops didn't even bother me. When you said the cops are coming, we got this, you know, we'll hide for it. We know it from anyway. They forget, you know, once I got locked up, I knew one thing. I was not the way. Like there is nothing that's worth them taking away your freedom. That's all nothing, nothing. You go and you fucking say, I'm never going to get in this position again, but I had a friend in LA in Colorado, the night I won the amateur contest. December 18, 1991, he got caught by friends and that you got caught stealing a suitcase who can tuck you fried chicken. He went there. They got a bucket of chicken and he saw the briefcase and he took it. He went home and realized he had nothing in there but coupons for chicken, but they caught them on the camera and they went to his house and pulled them out of the bed at two in the morning. You know, that motherfucker just got out four years ago. Wow. And I said to them, I go, don't he could have done a comedy career. He got arrested, maybe one and he just got out four fucking years ago, 35 fucking years. Yeah, because that charge, he got to a fight man, a lot of money got caught robbing the coupons. Yeah, it's just, it's just how well, you know, the coupons valid still though. And he's still using it. No, I don't fucking know. I would hope so after he got to get something for that. I don't think you buried the coupons. Somebody could just live their life like that. It's okay. And my buddy, every time he got out, he got a different chick pregnant, different fat chick pregnant. So he's a human kid. He loves those fat chicks, the white ones that I've retarded. So he bangs those and they bring them cookies and jail and shakers, only chubby white chicks bring your food and jail. There ain't no hot chicks visiting you never had any visitors when I was a lot. I had maybe a handful over the three years. I was down, but it's just really funny. That's some people, man. Money is prison. Get out world. You think the world is changed for us now. I think if you were away and you came out and also some people like, where's a pay phone? They know more people. What do I need to make a call? Well, can I just get a cab now? Oh, but what's Uber? What's an app? You know, so I can't imagine even doing something like it. It's hard. It's you know, and he was, I guess in in jail, he was somebody. He had a cloud. That's what happened. And he liked that role. They called them the leprechaun for Christ's. They feed him. He was so feared in prison, they kicked him out of Attica. We talked about this. He bit a pagan's nose off a pagan who was in life for double murder. He cut his girls, you know, what out for cheating on him. So there was no little punk that he took down. But the guy pressed charges and Gary refused protective custody, because the gang wanted to kill him. And they just figured for the safety of the prison system, just ship him up the oil burn. And that's where he was released some years later. But yeah, he bit a pagan's nose off. And I think that was the hardest. And he had it easy when he was home. We talked about this years ago. He had everything beautiful homes. Didn't have a call, but he got rides everywhere. So phone got his teeth fixed for him. Hooked him up. Everybody went out of their way. iPads. He just, I don't know. He was just a criminal by nature, I guess. Just get, you know, you just feel like that's what's safety. That feels like cool. No responsibility. You talk shit all day. You brag about the prisons you've been in and what crimes you committed and people, you know, you went out of college. I could see if he said he went to know the damn. What could say if you went to fucking achieve a institute and people go, a holy shit at my D, you know, a few to tell people, yeah, I did a, a nickel and I was gonna pay. Oh, really? Oh my God. How was it? And the guy's like telling you, like, it's a fucking country club and you're sitting there going, what is going on? That these people are glamorizing. Yeah, they let you up to midnight. You get free clothes, you get to swim in the summer. And you're like, these are things you do at home. Do you have a thing? He just couldn't fucking handle it. And that's what it really is. Once you see those people, and you see it, they're in a fucking listen, they couldn't survive in the room. Yeah. Well, I did try to tell Gary when people like, where you coming from, where you've been? I said, just tell him you just graduated all-burned. The prison, but, you know, college it could go either way, but he didn't understand that. But yeah, he just, I don't know, Cokes. It's sad because I love Gary growing up. He really became nuts. You know, he did some serious time with some serious people. For example, mock David Chapman killed John Lennon. He used to serve him up his food. I got to let a hand written and signed from mock David Chapman, wishing Gary luck in life and preaching the word of God to him. God loves you when he will forgive you. Did he forget you're still locked up? I guess that doesn't work. But he did some serious time. So what's his name from good fellows? The one Robert the narrow played in Jimmy Conway. Yeah, and then he hooked up with the Russians and he did a lot of crazy stuff, Gary. You know, and I think he really became. Well, he was always nuts to begin with. Remember when he was young, he did the mushrooms. What was that when you were like a young dog? I come back with like 20 guns and a bag of mushrooms. I put the mushrooms on top of the dinner table. His mother's going to cook. We're in the room going through the guns, the bullets and the cloak and the whole fucking deal. And all I can hear is Gary. Oh, Danny, somebody's eating mushrooms. We got it. The kids 14 years old. It's like potato chips. He's eating like chips. I don't know what they were. Yeah. Okay. The bag down Danny took the bag. Give me a fucking bag. We went out. We partied. We went to some bar. We come back at four in the morning. The house is black. And even daddy pulls up. Right. You know, light on it, my fucking house. We walk upstairs. He turns the light on and there's Gary on the couch in the dark. I'll know if we get this and he looks up. He goes, what? I hit tripping. He's 14 years old. Oh, man. Yeah, that you don't come back from that. A couple walks up and down the hill, 46 years. Yeah, he was some vodka. You drink some fucking water from Lincoln School or something like that in the fucking pipes. McKinley, Franklin, those three schools are some wrong with the fucking water. Okay. And that's it. A couple of years in North Perrigan. That's it. We saw, I saw people in front of me lose their fucking minds here in the mid 80s. This was no joke up and down those streets by your grandmothers. That was no joke. You could be walking the streets at four and bump into two people looking for a bottle of vodka. Like what are you doing? I'm looking for vodka. It's four in the fucking morning. And you're by 86. I might have been one of them. Yeah. Here we are. Because I got to raise my hand down it from his grandparents old town. Yeah. One of those dives down there. Oh, dog. It was another one down a little bit with with a Jacuzzi in it. With three rooms connected. Yeah. You were big time when you got the Jacuzzi room. I got the Jacuzzi room and bitches were coming in and stood with Arab sperm and bubble gun wrappers. And you're in there like, yeah, look at me. I'm totally having an eye. That was a picture to put on IG. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. That was Joe Tobia's spot. Remember Joe Tobia? Yes. He loved that place. Yeah. I beat him there one time. Yeah. Well, he got robbed every other day. Yeah. Yeah. He what he deserved. He drove around with the bracelets on sticking his hand down the car that you couldn't get close to it because I had an alarm. And it would go right. It was page used to drive me fucking crazy because he would put the coke right by the back window. Yeah. It was break that window. Oh, he was the worst show off. Yeah. Did this happen in your neighborhood by any chance? No. What's your girl? What type of neighbors do you grow up? I grew up in an neighborhood where honestly, like, there was like one guy in my high school who has since passed away. But it would like, he was a very good dude to me. He grew up down the street from me. But like, would occasionally go to prison for like a year or two. But no, not not much. That's all you got. One guy in the whole town. I think so. It wasn't. I grew up in a synagogue. I'm so sorry. This is the old. This is the only room where that's like, listen, you kind of go up in a fucking pussy place. Yeah. No, I don't know. It's not the wrong with that. No, I used to joke like the police station in my town. They didn't like, maybe a couple DUIs. If you look at the, the amount of town is two. Yeah. Well, your buddy that goes to jail once a year. It's crazy because only driving in these streets. Yeah. We see all these disasters and all this, but there was a lot of good stories. We tell some crazy stories about drugs and all that shit. But we saw some pretty interesting stuff that most people don't say. Like, people say to me, why don't you drink? Why don't you drink and drive? What? You know why? I tell you why. New years, 1980. I'm going to see Errol Smith. That's all calm. Oh gosh. Somebody on the way back. His cousin, his uncle got stuck. They had a flat fucking mic. Yeah. They got stuck with the Nikki Delusia. Oh, Nick. Nikki Delusia. That's the car washers. I think we're fucking tow truck. Okay. But I came back with Mike Denny, the devil who were driving back on County Boulevard. I saw RX seven take a tree out, pull out by my legs. It was in the middle and one person was dead and the other girl was yelling. And that lesson alone said 1980. When they were cutting a roof, the guy goes back to bottles. Oh, God damn it. And that was it. You know, I never seen nobody all day. That's why I think I kept snorting coke. But if I would have seen somebody purple, like that didn't happen. We lost a lot of people to car accidents over the years. Yeah. But think about it. Like I have a friend. She's 30. She was snorting coke by five years ago with four people. They all took a line of coke and it was pentimal. Oh, gosh. That's a shame. Don't can you imagine? No, I know. We would, we would get killed because one of those sons were going to be some of these important. Yeah. People that were running with us. Well, that's a lot of people all walks, you know, chief of police and sons, you know, mayor. Absolutely. You had everybody in those parties. Did that happen? You haven't told a lot of stories about ODs. No couple, but that didn't really seem to have no. That's a scare. People paranoid more than anything. I think I'm dying. How about, well, I don't want to throw out names here because we've seen some people get frightened or like paranoid and I wanted to say something, but it probably better off not start with me. No, I'm not, I saw the apple. But you didn't see that part. That's the part when I was alone. The part of fucking, you know, if I went to pick up a package and I was driving home and there's a cop car. Let's say I live on 50th Street, but there's a cop car parked on 70th Street. I'd look at that cop car and I keep going. It's kind of the dude with me. But after about three hours, it's not a coke. I'm thinking about why that cop car was doing down the block. What was he doing down the fuck? What does he want from the start? Yeah. You start hitting the curtains and then fucking, you see a fucking shadow on the door. You're like, oh, you know, and it's a horrible. Listen, it's fucking horrible. I'm going to tell you the worst one. I fly back here. The Mets are in the 86 world series. Okay. I'm coming to see you. I get here and you're a gentleman. You go to your shits and the thing. Give me the money next time. I don't remember that one. I'm going away. He goes, you told me my house is your house. Stay here till Sunday and catch a plane. I'll pay for the car. I said, fine, you left me money. What you didn't fucking tell me was that the pipes broke in the house. And there was three feet of fucking water everywhere. So I got this, you know, I got six ounces of coke. This is the best Seattle's old house. I don't know. I'm in a house. It must have been door in the man being here. Doug, it was downstairs. And the next, you know, I'm sleeping on the bed that's floating. Right? Well, that would have been. I was doing that. Then I would walk and then finally I couldn't take him anymore. It was cold outside. It was the board of pipes. Yeah. And I started snorting. Oh, I got scared in that place. Just came down with beers. She saved my life. And she brought me like case of beers, a ball of sand. But hey, that was I was snorting like holding a thing and going through water like when a lantern swished. I couldn't electrocute at any point. Why would you stay? Because I know what it got. I was probably in a hotel. He was in a hotel by sharing it. No, I was at the Sheridan by the Medellins. I used to go there a lot in this day. And then Sunday comes. And the car comes as planned. And I get in the car. And I got a white. I got a same shirt on. I got a white plan on that. They were big in the 80s. You could wear these. I was a shirt like I'm doing today. And I had a white plan on the hoodie sweatshirt. I'll never forget this. I get the Kennedy fucking airport. And in those days, there were no tubes to the plane. You went outside and I was going to the plane. And there's all these people. We went to Jacket time. And I'm walking with the flannel steam is coming out of me because I've been snorting Coke for three days. And everybody was looking at me like, whoa, I mean, the steam was coming off my shirt. Everybody was like, is he a saint? And I got on the plane and dug out. I was sitting down two minutes. I had to start snorting Coke. So I got up and down while people walking in. I was walking to the back. Yes. Yes. Yes. I was coming back then. I did. I got up. 10 times before the plane was landed. - To go for landed. - Before it took off. I was already coked up to the gazilles from being up for three days. And I got so high, I couldn't get up anymore. - You can't get up anymore. - There's a bathroom I might have to shut. - I couldn't get up anymore. So I was putting the blanket on my head and putting the trade down and doing the coke, snort it, and then pop back up again. Like nothing happened and people were like, "Yeah, what are you doing?" (laughing) - That doesn't sound like a really good hiding trick. Like it sounds like you're snorting coke. It was the worst day of hell. - You don't care after a certain point. You care, but you don't care. But as long as you get that bless, you'll do anything. And worry about it after the blast. - I think I'm like six ounces of coke. - For six. - By the time I got the Denver, because I had a collecting flight. I had to go Denver to Aspen. So they leave you in Denver. But now let me tell you something. Those days, none of the 10 times you're getting stuck in Denver. It snows like that. It was just the way it was. And you accepted it. But in those days left the airport open all night. The wires they opened were three in the hotel. And thought, "I am for it." So I would put my shit in one of those lockers. And I still remember putting like four ounces of coke in there. I spent 300 hours taking the coke out of the locker. (laughing) - I think it only a little bit or one. - Yeah, 'cause I would go. I'm only gonna take one more gram. And I would take another gram and then snort and then have to, let me get some quarters at the bar and then go, it was a nightmare. I must have done an ounce at the hotel and spent 300 quarters getting the coke in the airport out of the fucking locker, just 'cause I didn't want the four ounces on me. So I would put them in a locker, like, what's that movie get shorty? - Yeah, sure. - Then I would go back, pull it out, snort it and put it back in the car. - Did they have cameras back then? - No. - They had them, but they wouldn't see if anyone was watching you going back and forth in the locker. - Banks had cameras. Certain parts of the airport might have, but the common spots, not yet. - I still remember meeting a dude that was in the record industry. We started talking, I know you want to do a blast. Man, this motherfucker got fucked up at the airport. Like, you got on a plane and you couldn't even sit still, you couldn't stop blinking. You got a, well, flight and you're fucking soap cooked up, you're fucking blinking and shit. - Man, he was insane. - What's the moment? - You didn't see it at the airport? That seems scary. - Talk, he would see it everywhere. - Everywhere, it was the eighties, Lee. - New York, like what you see once a month, a guy nodding, right? You saw all the way up to 42nd Street and then it cleaned up a little bit. When you got up about 125, ooh, everybody was out in full faith. Everybody was doing a nod. Then they pop up like nothing happened and they start running. - And they start running and shit, they were everywhere. And forget going into the Bronx, the Yankees go. - They were really low. - It was a fucking planet of them. - Around the same age. - And all these places where people paying die dollar in the village, the ABC alphabet city. - Right, that was Zombo. - Oh, that was rough. - I think in my whole years of getting a party, I think I wanted that twice to get coke and it was not my cup of tea. - Yeah, we spent a lot of time in that city and we didn't care. We going to the Dominican areas, like it was nothing to a clock. But if they knew you, you were kind of protected. - Yeah, you didn't get it. - They didn't bother you. - But you're saying alphabet like the Lower East Side was bad. - Oh, yeah. - They called, they made a little stuff-- - Half a bad city. They made a movie. - Yeah, it was pretty good. - With that Italian kid and a good-looking girl. Vincent Spanel and a good-looking girl. - Vincent Spanel, here you go. But yeah, you got to remember, this is the '80s, things were different. You had all the dirty cops going on and you got to weigh a lot of shit, you know? But when you were in the city, the Dominican's, they didn't bother you. They wanted this. - No, because they bother you. All these cars are white kids in the suburbs. - That's it. - But that's why I'm just, if I shake you down, or I take your money, you don't tell all your friends, then you're gonna blow it for us. - Right. - If they find somebody out there robbing people, they'll blow them up. - Now they came back in '93, it was very interesting because in the '80s, it was all outdoor. We had a place on 135th and Amsterdam. - Remember? - The Colombian disco downstairs where they had roof flights and shit. Roosters, they sold you coke, but it was in the disco. But if something happened in the disco, you met 'em outside. When I came back 10 years later, everything moved inside. - Building. - And then moved to a building on 178th, right by when you got off the Georgia option, instead of making a right. You make a left, dog, it was planned perfect. Even the corners, the way you had a turn, everything was perfect. You got off, you made a left, you made another right, and then the street actually went around, and then it put you right back on that street to shoot right back on, but you didn't go back on, because they were watching you come in. So what you did was you got weed and coke, and now you went down West Side Highway, you stopped on 57 to get yourself a chilly dog. - 'Cause if you went right back over, they knew what you were doing. - Yeah. - You come on the Lincoln Tower. - They would wait for you sometimes in Fort Lido. - Yeah, they would. - Fort Lido. - One time we got hit there, we got hit. - Yeah. - Nobody had a license. - Oh yeah, now bicycle. - A bicycle. - They were taking his bicycle and had a Georgia out there. - We are, we came. - You can take his bicycle. - We got a flag coming back in '86. I'm not gonna drop the names, but nobody had a license. It was a rent to call. We had like three keys in the fucking car. Drinking open containers, and we thought we were all done. One of them was crying, I ain't gonna say ho. But for some reason, the guy just said, just get back to North Bergen. We just looked at each other like this just didn't happen. They just let us go like that. I mean, open containers, no license, rent to call. They had a scale in the back. I don't know how many, it was a decent amount, at least a key or two. - But it was always how you, listen, the city in the '80s was raw. Like I pulled over, many things. I got pulled over, at least a gallon time. It was hysterical. Me, Lisa Gallo, the baseball player from West New York. - Oh my God. And it was how you, those guys in the city didn't know what you're doing. - Right. - They see your jersey plate, you're on your own. What's that street on Tuesdays and the Bronx? You're on a webstabbing. What the fuck are you doing on a webstabbing? The last name I asked, please. Well, you come to see your grandmother. - Really? - Ask a least, really. What the fuck are you doing here? And if you fucked around with them, they take you shit. Unless you were a fucking rich white dude. Now it's a geek like, you know, you're, why are you opening up? I give you once you start playing that. - Why don't you want you to play a little? - You have no permission to onto my, whatever. - Really? - Get the fuck out of the car. Now we're taking the car because you live in Connecticut. You went over state lines. So that's what would happen if they caught you coming back from for a lead. It took your car. - Yeah. If you were a dick. - If you were a dick. - Yeah. - But how many times have a cop pulled us and we're like, "Oh, so what are you gonna get your dick sucked around here?" And right away, kids, what the fuck is wrong? We came up here to get out. He's not even thinking about drugs. Where the hell is that? And they were looking and go, "Are you crazy motherfuckers? "Give me a license. "All right, get the fuck out of here. "Go back to your little punk ass fucking white neighbors. "If I see you up here again, "I'm gonna beat the living fuck out of you." And that's it. Now go over there. Now it's like fucking, excuse me, can you step out of the car and run? But even then, we always had Hudson County. You always had that one name to go. - Your droppin' name? Yeah, it was always. - Everybody dropped the same name. - Get out of the car. Okay. Right, is it puttin' the cops on you? - The neck with the cops. - By the way. - By the way. - Who can this pocket? Yeah, I have a police car from Carmel and Balzana. Who? - Carmel and Balzana. No big deal. He's not gonna do that. You know, Carmel and Balzana? No. I just go to his house every day for lunch and dinner. (laughing) - All right, give me the card. And it would say extend all curses. - Yeah, yeah. - And then you'd just-- - But what extend though? - What extend? And the next day, you'd be walkin' the school and all of a sudden that cop car right up on you. Coco, come here. You gave some fuckin' cop my name. I'll fuckin' kill you. 'Cause they knew, they got the call that night. It was crazy. That's, you always knew that if you dropped the name, you, listen, they caught you with a body and a kilo. - Yeah, yeah. You're not gonna say, "Vineo, that's cool." You know, what the fuck is wrong with me? Even Vinnie's gonna go to a police station smack you for dropin' his name. You got a kilo back there and a body. You don't know nobody. You know Psy Lawrence. - Yep. - You know Joe Marko, you know fuckin' this guy. - Oh, they were nuts to Marko. - Yeah, and that was the thing. Everybody knew where everybody. You got bustin' like, you know how many times I got pulled over on Kelly Bullbot doing 90 with Coke. - And they would just look at you. - Louis Stits had got me like three times in a night. - Come on, guy. Come on. - You're again, you're wearing different car. What happened to the Trans-Am? - I still remember goin' over there with Rago in '93. - Oh, downright. - He had to know when they get Coke and comin' back and seeing George walkin' back on the bridge and that's pullin' over on the bridge. - Oh, you don't wanna them? - Yeah, get in the fuckin' car, 'cause they took me. They caught him every time. - Did you do the TV thing? - Louis, he taught me. - George taught me that if I went the Safeway on the other side of the bridge, and you went in 801 in the morning, 830. - You were good? - I walked in with a suitcase like I was a business man in a suit. I had three hours on my pocket. There was no business, okay? My business was thievery. I would walk in then and they would have like the shit on the shelves. But if you looked up that, the whole case is. So I would stick a whole case of aspirin, vaginal, cream, 'cause that's what they pay top dollar for at Harlem. All those Puerto Ricans get fuckin' dirty, but giant is. They getin' dick when they're 14, 15. You're out there doing your thing, though. A yeast infection is in your fuckin' future. And I would take down and walk out of there. And sometimes I wouldn't even have the money for the bus. I would just get on that thing with my suitcase and my little suit sweatin' 90 degrees in the morning with humidity and I would walk over bridge find the Dominican grocery store. Sell 'em the stuff that they gave me for. 20 bucks. At least I got the day started. We'll get a 20 and now I had 20 to eat something on the way down Manhattan until I bump into another purse or whatever fun. That was the day. Yeah. Yeah, it was it. You think about it. It's it's kind of sad to think about that your whole day. That's all you wanted to do is get high and from 83 to 85 living in North Bergen. Yeah. It was just that. Yeah. It was just that. It was going to sharp mid-town lounge at 11.30 and by the time you left that one, somebody came up to you today, bro. Where can you get a quarter hours ago right now? It's going hard. It's one o'clock. Yeah. Now you're in a Harlem at one o'clock. Guess what that means? I'm going back to a bunch. Remember dunking projects? I'm going to projects. Then we come to the mid-town. Oh, we stay in the city. Like with 21, 20 guy. A rooftop. And you're in the city of fucking 20 afternoon drinking cocktails. Where's my life going? Like when I think I should that makes me yeah, I'm sad when I look back at I spent the 80s was a blur. I remember ship, but it seemed like it came and went. I'm happy it happened. Open our eyes. Yeah. But if I could avoid it, well, what I know now would avoid. I was just driving up here. I dropped my daughter. I drove up by the galaxy. The galaxy was like it was disco in the 80s because you all ended up there for coke or chick or you ended up at the grind them. They were like the human grinder. They were like the 8th studio 54 was the grinder. And the rooftop was fun too. And the rooftop was. You know, that was it. That's how it was. Like when somebody invited you there for an after party at three in the morning, she yeah, you were fucking going in there. Well, we were gone. I mean, we even came back from the rooftop. They're amuses in Guttenberg. Yeah. And he'd open up at like six o'clock, six thirty. And then the mid-town would open up. It was like a he's to call me about Monday. I see me Friday. And I show up again. Well, Monday was the drug dealer that was across the street from the point of the day. He's at a time. Oh my God. The gas station used to rob with rego that we always talk about in the stories is the amaco across from the board of it. And he was very good friends with North Peragon as a whole. He made donations. And I started robbing. And then he went to Miss Askley's. Miss Askley's talked us. And one day I was talking to him to Georgie. And we're talking about coke. George goes, listen, I know where you're buying your coke from but the best coke is right here because he was bringing up coke and fruit trucks right there. Wait there. That corner. You see the fruit truck. Come on. You see 50 Cubans out there loading oranges. Come on, man. Come on, man. And the guy's name was Moondie. I remember him. But what was the mug's name at Joe and Mary's in the early 80s, like 82. What mug? That's the Cuban guy that used to come in there. Local or something like that? Local, local lives in Texas. Now crispy oranges and get you all high and then get you going. And next thing you know, you're hitting them up. And mother fucker. He would give you coke out of a leaf. Yeah. He was that none of that. That was real shut. Yeah. That was fucking scary. Well, 20 years old, 21. You're leaving. You're leaving. You're just told your grandma, grandma. I'm taking you to Dr. Lamar at the morning. I'll be here at 930. 930. You in a hotel with me and 18 other gorillas looking at two broads that are there. There's two broads sitting there and every guy's like, I'm gonna kill that bitch. And now it's nine in the morning. Now you're waiting for six people to leave. But ain't nobody leaving. It's 11 and one. Then somebody goes, I just made a call. We're gonna have found some on the way. Wash your faces, wash your feet. Do what you need to do. Or in here for the remainder. I've spent many a morning. Well, it started off as a night in your grandfather's house in the basement watching game film. Over and over again, slowing it down, rewind it. You see, here's the block here that opened up them. We scored the, I mean, it was like being a game where I was like a football campus, something like that. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? I don't want to bring up names. But yeah, I've watched a lot of game film. I'm just fucking a little sick. I grew up in this Cuban world. I grew up in this Cuban fucking crazy world. I'm proud of it. I don't give a fuck. They were crazy and I learned a lot from them. They were revolutionaries to where they thought was different. Everything. And my mom dies. And like, you know, I knew these guys, but I lost contact with them. One night this fucking lunatic comes up and he goes, listen, this Cuban dude has been asked by his name is Mala Gamba. Mala Gamba. You made me meet him on a 60th street by park app. It was off. It was off the beaten path. Wasn't there a bar there? A bar that they hustled out. Yeah, they hustled out of that. It's used. And how he's doing that dude was we, I mean, he was very good friends with my mother, Mala Gamba. He was good friends with my real dad, the whole fucking deal. But recently I found that that guy was like the leader of the 66. I mean, you were like, he's a dangerous dude. I always know him and his brother was fucking for oceanally dangerous. A lot of people were. They just came off his gentleman, but don't cross him, you know, and they were always kind, generous, buy your drinks. Yeah, don't worry. You get me in a week. See you in a week. You know, they would, I don't know. Things were different. Again, I'm like you, I had a lot of fun, but I wish I could have done things differently. But again, I always say if I did one thing different, I would have never met my wife. I would have never had my family. So I don't know. You know what I'm saying? If I made one, if I stayed in the army, for example, where I stayed in California. All these motherfuckters, what happened with you in the army? Tell him coming out of North Bergen, so people know, tell him your biggest fucking star in the army. Well, I was soldier of the year for the 101st Airborne. Our kid from North Bergen was soldier of the fucking year. And a year later, he was snorting coke with us at Corkeys till six in the morning with his medals on and shit snorting coke off the medals. He didn't give a fuck Jack. Well, you know what? The first time I actually did, I was exposed to cocaine was in Panama on a training exercise. They let us into Cologne, which is a danger Roberto Duranz place. And I taxi driver took us. I was with the older soldiers and they got some coke for like 50 bucks. You got like a fucking, yeah, the best style. And that's the first time. I kind of liked it, but it was different. It was real. It didn't make you scared. It didn't do. It made you as nice, you know? And then as I came home, North Bergen, one thing led to it. And you remember the first time you ever got paranoid? Like you didn't get paranoid right away. It took me. No, no, no, it's like gambling. You win money in the beginning. Everything's fine. You get a heart on a pussy. Smells great. Everything's fine. Then out of nowhere, first 10 times you're getting the dick sucked. And then you start eating pussy, but looking out of window, like let me eat your pussy right here. Because I got to see if they come to the garage. That's when you remember the first time bills and bills. And I would quit because of the paranoia. That was awful. But the paranoia grows. I could just keep it growing. Everything's so orphaned, I would get lucky and not get paranoid, but nine out of 10 times, I couldn't imagine going on. The first time I'll tell you, it was 1984 quintessence, but I think it was the same night I met Gina, maybe Phil Pot, Danter, Paris, World Hanging Out, and we partied at my house. Then we're sitting in the park in a lot of quintessence. And they're all ready to go. And I just something came over me. I'm like, I'll be wich in a second. I couldn't explain it. Couldn't get out of the car. 15 minutes later, they're not going on the window. I don't know, fellas. I don't know what happened. This is an awful experience. I'm worried. I'm scared of what? I had to go in and chug a log like six drinks to come, you know how the drink and brings you down. But I remember the first time quintessence. Everybody thought I was, what do you mean you're scared? Why are you scared? This is great. I don't know how to explain it. I'm worried. I'm anxious. I think people are looking for me. And obviously they work as they knocked on the window. But that was the first time. It was a few times, like I said, that I avoided it. Probably too much drink. And we did the volumes to the help a little bit. I remember going to the city, put up the little signal for the views. But you got 12, but you got eight for $10 back at the old McSawley sale house. But the hell was in that weed you gave me? That's fact, and things like that. I double the price. Yeah, that's good. What is that? It's pretty funny because I never got paranoid before. No, I know why you looked the way you do all the time. Then this is the dungeon. This is a dungeon. And then at 85, I get clean. Nice. Stay clean for about a year and a half, 16 months. I stay clean. I got a call from this fucking hump. Hey, what are you doing? None. I'm coming out your way. I'm coming to ask me to see you. And then they came up to the house. The general, you were watching a general's house, right? No, as village. That was fucking insane. That was a cool joint. They actually left. That was, you know, how much that house cost today? For a month, a month, a month, a month. I can see that. Yeah. And they redid. I mean, it was nice back then. It was nice back then. We had the little trailer. Yeah, you had the little trailer off to the side. I remember we wound up spending most of the time in that little, we had access to this huge palace house. And here we are in a little trailer. There's a little room for us in the little tiny bedroom with a TV, a little tiny bathroom, a little tiny closet. But once the guy left, I lived in the house where it is right. But that night, though, I put his jewelry on his face. That night for some reason that we, we felt safer in a little yeah, we can't find it because the house was big. It was too big. You'd be here and check. He heard shit and then you walked around the house. But I remember you left me like an ounce of coke. It's that scarred sling and motherfucker. And that's what I was telling the story. Everything fell into the guns. And then just you know, we've left there with guns too. We've got three or four And they were like, can we buy one of these? Yeah, you can buy one. I am, not only were we able to buy him-- - But ship him. - Dude, no, we took him right on L.A.X. - I gave you a box. - A little box, 50 bucks. I'm like, here we are pulling guns out of L.A.X. Like four of them. Hey, we got guns. Oh, no, you can't bring them on unless you have a box. So, so we can actually bring these things back? 'Cause we had a rent the car, we left snow mass, we started tripping on the mushrooms that you gave us. I said this earlier to the fellas, rent the car, we didn't know where the windshield wipers were, and then it starts pouring out. And we're laughing. We can't find a thing, and Russo is driving, and it seems like the car was hanging over the cliff. From, you know, we hallucinate and everything. Then we wound up going to Vegas, stopped at Death Valley, watching our Reeboks melt in the fucking blacktop. That's, I do remember that. Then we went to L.A., stopped to see my car's it, and checked in those guns, this was 85, maybe 86. 80, then you came back to, then I got a call on them. This is the best story I've, I'm selling cars. I had not gotten arrested yet. And I got a call at the car dealership. They're like Joey Diaz, Coco Diaz, of the Coco. Fuck, call me Coco, pick up the phone, it's Danny. It's the Danny or Russo, and you guys like it. No, let's get back to the basics. The original story goes like this. I got a call from my girlfriend. I don't even live with, she lives without parents. My girlfriend calls me and ate in the fucking morning in this house. That George moved in to later on. And I answer the phone and I'm like, what's going on? And she goes, hey, man, you know Mrs. Sabatino? And I go, yeah, I got a tape off of what she died. I go, what, what happened? You go, she called here looking for her son, Anthony? I go, that's funny. And now I go, I'm really Anthony. So I call Mrs. Sabatino back. She's like, yes, they were out all weekend and they left Sunday night and it's Thursday. And I'm concerned with them. Doug, I don't hang up the phone. I go to sell a car and bling. Coco Diaz, hello, listen, it's us. We're on our way. We're in Vegas to some shit. We'll be at the airport at 930. I fucking clean up a car. The best car on the lot. I shoot to the fucking airport. I get to the airport. Everybody knows me. Three people, Coco, Coco, yeah, Coco, what happened? Your buddies were here. They tip their fucking joint. Oh, at the airport. These guys are like, yeah, your buddies were here. And I'm like, oh my God. And I'm like, we got everybody messed up. The pilot was even hot. The shotgun, the best strip club in Colorado in Denver. Shotgun, Willie's, look it up. Somebody Google it. That's a bat. There's two of them. There's the stay couch one. And there's that one. You motherfuckers again, the dudes at the airport, the shuttle people outside. It's 930 that I get boys over at shotgun, Willie's. Shotgun, Willie's. Shotgun, Willie's, okay. I take the fucking rental car, you know, whatever the fuck it is, the loner, I park. I go in the thing and there's 400 people on a Tuesday night. These places packed. There's women on every circle. And there's 20 guys around them. They're all mine. Again, I go up to the door. And I go, listen, I'm looking for three of my buddies from Jersey. Table number four, they're over there. They had the thing closed off. They're fucking tipping the waitresses. The girl is dancing. They're having their own. The Russo had a smile face to face. I never forget that. Rebox everybody. And they gave me like a bag to take into the bathroom. It was like a chunk. It felt like one of those things that you grab and work on your wrist. It was just a chunk of cocaine. And I remember, I couldn't crash it. I'm like, "Daddy, what is this?" He's like, "Just break it off." Instead of breaking it off. You're like a man. And then they threw a shot at that. They threw the lights. And the girls wanted us to stay. These guys were like, "And the girls were like, "Let them stay." No, we got to go. So we went somewhere. And then we went back to the hotel room. We snore and coped for like six in the morning. And when you hit it in the bathroom toilet paper thing. The toilet paper that's in the wall, when you're going to the bathroom. The public bathroom? No, in the bathroom. And you take the thing up. They hit it in there. And about nine o'clock, they're like, "All right. We got to go." I'm like, "Where are you going?" "We got to take a plane back to Vegas some shit." We drove to Vegas. We had to rent the car. If this is the same trip. Yeah. And then Danny busted. He busted my balls about that 17 grams per year. You still owe me money, man. I don't know if you want to stop much. But it was seven. I probably owed it to somebody else too. Was it 17? I get my rental car and I go, "You know what? I'm going to snort this whole fucking thing." So I find the hotel. I get it. Like a stew and I buy like a ball of vodka and I get a case of beers. It's a fucking one in the afternoon. I was browning at that time. It was only fine. I had nothing going on. I was selling cars and I had this great girlfriend. I call her up and I go, "Hey. I got something because she used to snort with me. I got something. Meet me at this hotel and then." And she goes, "Okay." But then she snort happened, I called her from the room and she goes, "You know what? I can't go." My father, I got to do some of my father at 8/30. I go, "All right, fine. Even more coke for me." So there's a window. I got the beers and I got the vodka. And I'm just making like little drinks and drinking. And also I start snorting. The paranoia goes right through me. I start looking out the window and I see a car. And the car would stop and then it would take off and another car would come up. It's the fudge. And now I'm hearing, I'm thinking that drilling to the walls to put like a wire in there to see what I'm doing in there. So there's a big tub and I fill it up in the shower with water, cold water. And there's a big coke rock and I take the coke rock and I throw it in the water to see how long it's going to take to melt in case they kick my door down. I'm going to just throw the coke in the water to melt. Just believe I'm out of my mind. Yeah. Do you time it? I don't. I just throw it in. You see it just all. And I'm sitting there in this water, and this water's sitting there for fucking the whole time. I'm snorting. I'm trying to jerk off, but I'm too paranoid. I'm looking out the window and finally I go, fuck this. I take that whole bag of coke and I throw it in the fucking toilet and I throw the thing and I take like the baggy and I eat it in case the feds are coming up. But then after about two hours, like I wish I didn't do that. I realized there's no feds. It's not coke. Now I'm sitting in the toilet and I'm just looking at the toilet and I'm taking all the brown piece and put in my, I sat there for like six hours because the coke goes to the side of it. Oh god. And like when a water where I sat there, but this one gets better and you didn't clean your toilet. No, no. This is a whole tub. It's a whole tub toilet. It was pretty even better. So now I'm sitting there and I'm Jones and I'm like, what the fuck? What did I do? And I drank all the beers, all the vodka's and there's really no water in those days. No bottle water, but there was a tank of the picture that I filled up with water. I forgot I threw the coke rock in there. Oh no. So I throw like a two gram coke rock in there and a little bit of water. But I forget all about it. And I'm sitting on me. I got wish I had coke and I started drinking this water. Oh no. I'm like, oh that's right and all of a sudden, I lost my voice, right? It's fucked up. It's like Donald Duck. And she kept calling me. Yeah. And I'm like, what's going on with you? Did you finish it? Yeah. And I'm like, dog, it was horrible. And when I went downstairs, the reason why people were stopping because it was an ATM machine. And that's why people were stopping taking their money out of going. I thought it was the fed switching cars. So you throw out all their coke? 11 grams at least. And then I put like I've done shit like that. I did like nine diluted in my nose. And that's when you know like one time I got so paranoid, I called the cops on myself. We all did that one. And the cops even told me, listen, put the bag away. Like after the third time this three hours, like Joey, you should make like a game like cocaine bingo. Like, what did you do? Everyone made you call the cops on yourself, you threw the bag away. Yeah. This is crazy. But hang man. You have no idea Lee, I'll crazy this whole, I'm in the fucking halfway house. I don't know why I get one of those furloughs for the weekend. And my godfather, my in law, my father-in-law puts me in the trail outside, which is a $100,000 trailer. TV show is at the time, he just bought it. And I'm out that bring it. I bring it. It was like an eight ball. Maybe like a quarter. But it was really good. So rehab was working at this point. No. I'm in that halfway house. Okay. Prison. And I'll never forget. I'm snorting coke in there. And sometimes when you open the bundle, the coke just flies out of the bag. Like hip hip hooray. And now I'm walking all over. And at one point, I'm looking up the window. I'm rolled up without a weapon. And I'm actually watching my guys get on the rope and slide down with white jackets so they can mix into the snow with the machine. My James Bond. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm going to die. You rush it with love, right? One thing. You know, then they switched to coke openly. So by 87 now, it started having a little speed. That's why the shit he got in Panama. With the ether, with the wall, everything. Right. That was clean. That's shit. You can't get them. No, they stopped that. Now you do coke. you don't know what they're putting in that shit, you know. What does speed make you like if, like how does that add to apparently make you more power to make you want more. I yeah, everything's changed, especially if you start that shit. No, I only, I did that only one time on accident thinking it was co and I was up for like 72 hours of one little line. I thought I was able to sleep who I was later pop up like a zombie and I did it on accident because I never wanted be like that. I always made fun of them. They got the teeth. They got this. They look like shit. But I did it Saturday morning, like eight o'clock in the morning. I was up to like Monday night, maybe for one little blast. So yeah. Like not that shit. No, that's garbage. I'm never done that at all. I don't know. I don't do it. I don't do the pills. I don't think that I know of who knows possible, but I don't think so. I've heard that's great. I've wanted to try that for it. But like not it, I think it helped me. Fucking Austin. I did. Yeah, it probably gave it to you. What I know, I had no peace. I'm straight. Right. I remember you were fucked up from the animal in the. I remember the edible in the key. I don't remember the. I don't remember. I gave it. Yes, she gave me that a lot of college. And you wouldn't shut the fuck up about tacos and get what kind of a taco place called. What are you talking about? It's tacos. But I had no idea. I forgot about that. Don't the kids in college use that to stay up and study. Well, you're supposed to help you focus. Focus. Right. But yeah, I think people do it as like they just do it as like a way to not just just to get hard study. No, that's blue. You know, yesterday, no, I didn't say hot. I say hi. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I know you feel this sometimes. I want you to tell your story real quick. Okay. Just three minutes story. All right. Yesterday I drive my wife. My wife and my daughter left at nine to a softball game that's not 1115. I leave about 10. I get there about 1030. There will warm it up the girls on this side. And all the parents over here. I'm watching this game here. This game here and this game there. I'm on a corner watching this game. You know, I, the sun's out. It's beautiful. Yes. They lose cold. I'm just sitting there watching this game. I'm walking up the girls woman up and seeing my daughter catching it. I look over my wife. I look again at the field. They go, "Hey, Terry, come here for a second." I go and me ask you a question. I go, "When we lived in Hollywood at night, we go out and we walk home." And there were those palm readers. If we went into one of those palm readers, you think he would have told us, "Hey, in 30 years, you and this schmuck are going to have a daughter that plays softball and you're going to go to her games." Be in my wife, look at each other. We're like, that would have never had like nobody prepares you. No, for this. And that's why I love the way I grew up. Because now I have this piece. I really had that. I told mercy to that. If we all had jobs at eight in the morning, I'd hate that house. Because then we all fight each other at eight in the morning. If I had water, the toothbrush, who's not going to use this, who's going to use that. I go, "It's such a different life from what I was exposed to." But nobody, duh. There's no fucking way. I even told Terry, I go, "Tell me the truth." In 2005, you think we're going to have to have kids like, "No. I came up on you and I turned 40." She goes, "I just didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to get tested to see which one it was. It was the weekend." And then we all, you know, because once you take those tests and you can women take that shit seriously. I'm no sperm. You can't smoke pot. You can't eat carrots. What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah. Like they'll say, you're a loser and shit. But she goes, "No. I didn't want to do that way. I just thought we'd fucking live without a kid." And then the kid came, you know. So obviously we're both okay. But you don't, you don't see any of this. There's no, and I wanted this. But there was no fucking way. No way. I enjoyed you telling me about his life. I go, "Good luck, buddy. Swap off. Two daughters." Wow. It's never going to happen for me. And now I'm going to swap all games like a half a fag. I'm playing softball. So I'm playing. I'm still playing. Yeah. I got invited to play a little bit. Don't do it. Get hurt. Everybody. Jimmy Spartan team, my neighbor, that if for one reason. I was begging me not to be out there. No, no, no. You don't think I'm a kid. It takes you at this age. It takes you 20 minutes to really get warmed up. Like really get warmed up. You know what's going to happen? One day you're going to go to two games. You're going to hit the home run. You're going to steal third base. And you're going to feel like you're Johnny bananas and you're going to go and you're not going to warm up. And you're just going to swing the bat and also you need to hit back and all of a sudden it's like we just ripped your muscle that couldn't rip if you fucking wanted it to rip. That's what happens. I tell you I was telling the story earlier in 2019. I was up in North Bergen charity softball thing for Amarosa and all them. And it's like series of games, six seven games to win it all. It's like the last game. I'm catching. I think we're winning a little bit by two or three runs. I got the ball on my hand. This guy's just barely rounding third base, right? And he's built like a college football player. 250, six something. I'm causally sitting already to slap it easy. You know, tagging me's out and he ain't stopping. I said, oh shit, he ain't slowing down. I tried to dig in a little bit to round myself. Too late. He lifted me off of my feet. I flew back six foot busted my ribs. I held on to the ball though. Everybody's like, what are you doing? He's an old man. He's an old man. I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. It's so good. It's a part of the game, you know, and you can't get mad at them. No, they don't do the same thing we would have done. Yeah, but that's what he stopped. But I did lead off the next inning and hit a nice double. I ripped it and I looked up. You know, it's just one of the aids now where you gotta be careful along the way. You don't want to be that good. Not a bad put my socks on it. I heard sometimes, you know, it's six in the morning. Stretch before I pull my socks on. You're still lifting. I'm still in a gym. Yeah, but still, you know, I'm in a gym. I still do all right. You know, but I know you're talking about great color. You know, you look good. I know you still love your cocktail. They're like, we like going happy. I don't go out with the fellas. It's always me and Jamie. We like day drinking. You know, we don't get stupid by eight o'clock a night. We're lights out. We're sleeping already. Yeah, we don't stay up. We don't have time. You do the line of cope. It's been a bit. I ain't going to say it's been like years and years. Ten years. No, probably about two years. But no, but no, no, no, no, no, in all defense, I held out and I admitted it to my wife because she looked at me silly and she goes, did you party with those fellas last night? And I'm in a swim and pull at six o'clock in the morning. And I didn't even do a lot, but I just couldn't sleep. I felt guilty. And but since I've been married for 26 years, almost if I've done it five times in 26 years, that's, that's a lot. But the last time was a couple of years ago and I felt awful. If I did want it to, and then you know, I do it on the key. We used to do railroad tracks. Then we said, like, you got to do it like a gentleman, put it on the key, walk away. They get one of them and walk away. But then you do another one of them and another one of them. But yeah, it was a couple of years ago and I felt like shit, I felt guilty, but I did cop out. I did Brad on myself. That's what she did do. Oh, she was looking at me. I don't want a lot of relationships. I can't do it. Like I, it's, I've been, I've spent 10 years, this no vent. I feel, and then next year will be 20 and I'm petrified because you know, when I realized, I realized I did this much damage. Since I was 44, can you imagine if I've had, you didn't stop and stopped when I was 30, I would have had more years to accomplish my goals. Yeah. I did what I did. That's true. I prepared your comedy career took off when you got straight. Everything, everything, everything, you know what I'm saying? So I know I can either mushroom, which I haven't eaten in my months. We are the happy pill and fucking half a muscle, which I eat for my knee because I have a surgery. Understand. Well, I tell you what a couple of weeks ago, I did the co-deens, my knees, puke them still. Oh, yeah. That, yeah. All those things get old. Like they get old, you know, and now I have my reefer, the reefer. That's not reefer. That's fucking whatever that is. That's, that's, that's, that's Matt. That's morphine. And I've had people write me privately and go, Joe, why do you still smoke? The reason I still smoke is because it lets me know I picked up something from the past. That's it. I had a lot of bad habits. We all did a lot of bad. Not just you. We all did. The only bad habit I took into this was marijuana and the edibles. And I'm okay with it. It really knows this room. I got to eat 2,000 milligrams. I don't know how to fucking do that. Because we grew up here. We drank a river water, especially with those dogs, yeah, pissed on the dog. You know, we did things. Laila, sweetheart, stop pissing on the dog. Oh my god. But darling, you keep hitting him in the eye. I know I'm much like, I remember coming out of prison, getting a hot DUI, then put me back in the halfway house, and I'm going Joey. The next time we catch it, they're going to give you six years. That's what I do after the door locked. I didn't align a coke. That's youth. That's stupidity. That's that's a fucking jerk off. Yeah. I didn't have any value in my life. You want to throw me in jail? Throw me in jail. It's a woman. There's a woman. And then I just said that was it. One day you can't keep throwing in your life. And then they say, bro, it got in the way of comedy.

I'm you know I'm a cheerleader and everybody's loving me and hanging out with Sid Rosenberg courtesy were You know all the guys at 77 and it was great I thought I was gonna be the next star and they wind and dying me and Jamie acting so like they're gonna build a show So when they're walking in is like everybody's got their head down. I said what's somebody step on their cat or something What the hell's going on? They just fired a hundred people Well, that sucks. Well, they sold the station out little by little first. It was uh WPLJ they got rid of and you know and they went in a different direction. So that's kind of Why we went back. I did sell a shirt and a soul close me a shitload of money, but I saw the opportunity I'm in my late 50s. It was a six seven years ago Yeah, so I was in my mid to late five seventies next coming Uh, and I took a shot, you know some people say oh you got balls to do that But I should have been a little bit more careful, but I don't know. I'm not criticizing Walking yeah about your ball. Yeah Like I'm talking about You know If people knew half this shit like that's just it's a funny joke that we cracked before This motherfucker was the soldier in the year he had dinner at the fucking White House We're Ronald Reagan and again eight months later he's throwing coke at fucking Whatever the fuck it was But he got there. I mean you didn't get there to be soldier in the year because of what they told you It was these survival. I always say that now I look back at what we grew up with I can name five guys right now Off the bat that I know you grew up with That had not the best houses No, they were divorced That was an alky The other guys dad was a half a wise guy. He decided to take a watch one day and they killed them You know, we grew up and I think that our bond was made over that we weren't perfect kids. No George I made a bond with him in 1979 you guys go back that long huh 19 so now he's from close up went to some school Smoke and joint him between the eight thirty and the ten thirty session him in his hot hippie chicken Look at us now Look at us now, you know, it's a life doing good Whether we know listen man, but then there's a kid I grew up with you North Bergen But I know he's homeless right now. He's living in one more parking lot. Oh, that's sad. He's 62 You know, he's got to be so security. Why do you want to too many? Well, let's get a concert. He thought the party was never over You know, saying you know those guys that 55 We're in the t-shirts, but we all picked our fucking All right Pass, you know, I'll tell you when I think about you myself Glenn county, you know, Glenn county A lot of guys like Glenn did exceptionally well. Yeah, he did probably over tell you nobody over. He won't tell you But he did exceptionally well. He sure has the record UPS for fucking years. They're still there. I think right? Recently yeah, I was telling my neighbor's a UPS driver and he knows Glenn. He works out of What they call a hub? Everybody knows, yeah, well he knows UPS everybody knows and he's been at 20 years and I said yeah, he's been at like 47. He goes that's impossible You got to remember we applied for that job December of 81 He got the job December of 81 and he just fucking retired It's the only ever job he's ever had like he went right from high school UPS he took some things at some college Yeah, UPS was paying them one everything. He was supporting his mom He was helping our kids mom good lady. Yeah, yeah, you know, and all these kids the kids. I was with downtown The boy I was at all those kids had something going on. And then you have like a Mike Astley type of situation who lives in a great house, but he wants to hang with the crazy people. He don't wanna hang out with the chip, chip palette, oh, part of North America. No, do you want a martini? No, that shouldn't exist back there. So this day, I won't get a nice car because I grew up in North America. I have a nice car, it's not the worst car. Sorry. I should have, like, people. - You could have. - You could have a Maserati. - Well, I've done that, but believe me. - 60 fucking three years old. Five of them I had. - Five of them I had. - I know, I made that financial mistake too. - Yeah, those things are like, we five fucking Maseratis. - I know when you're pulling up with that beema, you're hiding something as a man. When you're a man, you just walk in there. I like when I see a guy has a dirty shirt on, like, fucked up hair and the hottest chick with him. And all these other guys have the typical outfit now. - The wheelchair. - With the watch, with the brown shoes. - Make sure you see the watch. - Yeah, let's see. A little bit flooded, they're all fake watches. Nobody's got, not everybody's got a Rolex on the society. So some of these fucking showin' up but one of those fucking Shoniotani makes $10 million. He gives everybody a $4,000 watch. Shoni, take this watch and take it back to Japan and make a fucking super one that hits home-run, you can give me a fuck right. - And after that, the ones with the watch, with the fucking Amani suit, they never pick up a belly. - They don't pick up a belly. - They run, they go to the bathroom. - They put that corona on, they're shooting steroids, they get the perfect trim, yeah. - I was with one and I'm not too long. - Yeah, and you see it, I went to Miami and you see the exact same cut-of-hookie cut-of-guys picking on girls and they don't even brine them while, at least with some coats, we take girls and drive, they just sit there like this. - We have in the handkerchief. - Yeah, like waving nothing, an empty hand. You better put a half gram, we're 20 and that motherfucker. - Yeah. - It's just so weird when I see that now and you go, what is he, why is he working so hard with that? - I know, I got caught, I lost my license for so many years, over 10, just tickets and then I went to jail and it all escalated, driving without a license. And finally in the late '90s, I got it back and you know, everybody would bust my balls. You don't have a car at your age, so I said, oh yeah, once I got my license back, I went out and got a brand new catalog. How to for about a week and I got a DUI? And I got a refusal. So I lost it for 18 months and I just met my wife. We would together for like two weeks and we would, she was a lot younger than me. So I'm like, wow, should I, I guess I got a keeper? I need a chauffer. I always joke about that. How do you and Jamie, I had a DUI and I needed somebody to drive me around so I kept my wife at that time. It's just my girlfriend, but we got married shortly after that. And then I just started making a lot of money, a lot of money, crazy money and just spiraled out of control. I needed to, one car had to be better in Florida or parking lot had like three million dollars worth of cause. And just spiraled out, then I got into the Maserati kick. It was addicted. I would, they would see me here. He comes again, but they were leasing out goods. That was always my excuse. Oh, they leased out better than Mercedes or BMWs, you know? And I had a little habit. That sneakers, cause and sneakers have been my, not I don't like ties or fucking fancy suits and I don't like the collar thing. Even at the wedding, I was where I had a hat on people. Like, but the watch thing never impressed me. Like my little earrings, but no, I got a big dick. He always did. You always had, I got a big dick and a lot of personal. Yeah, that's, you know what I love is that fucking ring. I'm walking into the high school on a Friday night during a basketball game. You better come prepared, motherfucker. I remember you with that thing. I was to clear the bar at Joe Emery's to get a seat. You drop it on a boom, you hear that lunch my cousin would run. Oh no, the turtle, he had a name for it, and you would fuck with him. Then you put it in his hand once it's twice. Oh, fuck, yeah, I put it in my hand. No, no, no, he'd run to the bathroom. If you face with me, dog, I take that thing out and put it in my hand. I remember him on your back and your mouth. I, he'd run to the bathroom. He'd go, he did it to me again. I go, what? He goes, Coco, he put his dick in my hand again. I go, how does that happen? He goes, you know, I talk and I had it down on the seat. And I just feel it slap on my hand on talking, get ready to play pool. And the next thing, you know, it's not the cue stick. It's his dick. You know what I mean? I'm a man like everybody else. I'm not gonna look at it. I asked whole smells funny, you know, I got a fungi toenail, but you know what I'm saying? When you show up as a man, people were old school men and I've never lost that. Like I don't need a tattoo, I don't need a flower on my hat. I got a big dick and I'm gonna eat it. Listen to me. You're fucking soul. I'm gonna stick my tongue and you're gonna lick your soul. I love you to death. But fuck it. I, yeah. Fuck it. I'm not big on anything. No, me neither. I don't need to impress. It drives me crazy. I downsize a lot. I still have a nice car and stuff like that. And, you know, my wife's the best thing that had happened to me, Jamie. You know, we've been together 26 years. Me too. Over 26 years. Married 26 years in July. You know, we talk about getting into trouble and stuff like that and I'm on my way, making millions of dollars. My wife's eight months pregnant. I think I told you the story down in Florida. You know, I was working for a company at the time. We were making like, I don't know, half a million dollars a week, if not more. It's just crazy money. This is when, before social media, and we were under investigation. The company was under investigation before I even got there, right? I got there in 2001. They started an investigation back in the late 90s about the company and I had left after a couple of years. I'm like, I made a lot of money. I don't like these guys here, you know. There are bunch of show-offs. They're always going downtown for my eyes with their fancy. They go visit Jacob de Jura. They come back with $200,000 worth of watches and I never really dug them, you know. They weren't my crowd. Amy got pregnant, so I'm like, let's get out of here. So I just grabbed my memory barrier off the wall. I packed up and I left a couple of months later, I opened up my own business, April of 2004, April 8th. It's like five o'clock in the morning, Jamo's in town, of course. The fucking James Lake, the cops are at the fucking door, cops are at the lake. What the fuck did he do with the rent, the car? I thought Jamo got into trouble with the rent, the car. No, they fucking rounded all of us up, fucking stole $14 million. As my wife is eight months pregnant, we were broke. They took everything. They seized everybody's money before they actually arrested us. So we couldn't buy a council. It was like we had a rat on the inside, rat it on everybody. He got caught by and drugs we found out. Still won't admit it, but we found that he did it. And he took us all down for, nobody really went to jail, though. We all got house arrest, probation, and lots of funds. But for me, thank God, because I opened up my new business, that money, they took it anyway, but I said, I, the only way I'm going to plead out, is if you give me that money back, because that you're not entitled to that, that wasn't part of the investigation. I had a good attorney, too. So they agreed to give like a half million dollars, but I, you know, she was eight months pregnant, down in Florida by herself, as their dragon, her husband away, you know. This arrest ever Southwest Florida on a TV on ESPN, you know, for like two, three weeks. But then 10 years early, you're on HBO sports at 1997, talking about fucking picking winners and shit. I'm like, yeah, that's right. That's really started my career, actually, HBO sports, real sports, Jim Lampley, Brian Gumball. Yeah. I remember everybody calling me off. They thought they would wire it out of their face. I'm, I'm in Pennsylvania at the time, and I like calling me the next day, then I was watching TV and you are on TV two o'clock in the morning, you know, but, uh, yeah, that was in 1997. They, they all got enemies for that too, as well. Not me. No. I got a fucking, what's the box about Oscar De LaHoye, a sign box, and that's what I got. Let me ask you something. How did you get this thing in Florida and how did you get this thing on HBO, did they? No, no, no, before you went to nobody fucking trained you. You got this and what you got walking around here. I did. I tried to street smarts personality and when you give, like, that's one thing I'm great for North American people that were in this town at that time. They were all Italian families that come from old book and that bit abused and whole book and by the Irish. So now, you know, Rick Caposi, that whole generation goes back five foot eight, two 40, two twenty five, they were fucking, you know, they were all looked like mason's, hands of the pillow. Yeah. You know, and I don't know. I'm sure Lea has a bunch of questions. Yeah. Quite over daily. I've been listening. Yeah. Amazed. Amazed. I'm just too stoned. Both. You can understand that because I'm not feeling that best myself here. But how I got into the business was kind of an accident. I got into it hanging out in North Perkins talking about five times as a joke man. Well, I was booking and one time I was always running a gambling business, you know, all when I was booking and whatever, yeah, I mean, everybody, if you didn't know, you weren't a man, everybody out owed money. So, you know, 1994, I go out to California, jam on my cousin's out there, he's like, I'm working at a gym. He goes, yeah, we got to get it in August to come out with to say this guy high is guys to give out picks. I'm like, we would pay anybody for us. What's pick? I said wait. and along with him went on the interview and a guy like our New York voice, their California laid-back California surfers dudes, but he was very successful. He owned the 900 numbers back in the day where you get picks not on the internet on the phone. And he also owned six. - 25 hours. - 20, 25, seven depending on what, and he also had a huge income through sex line, sex phones and stuff. And you know, he hired us, right away it was making money, it was good. He sold the first guy to spoke to. And then somebody got sick that did radio with him. He goes, "Hey, listen, I need you to fill in for radio." I'm like, "I'm not the fuck with that one." It just followed the script to say what I tell you to say and you'll be fine. And that's how it all started. By accident, somebody got sick. He asked me to fill in. And yeah, the rest is history. A year later, my mom's husband died, went to see her in Pennsylvania. I was only there for a week, supposedly. Met a guy at a gym who introduced me to Jamie years later. He said, "Oh, man, this is a good business, you end." Let me introduce you to this family who just opened up an offshore sports book. And they were doing radio, the ATIA family. They were wrestlers, LSU. One of them won the gold, was not the silver. He lost his shorts back in the Olympics, back in '84. And they were gang Syrian gangsters, though. And they liked me and put me to work, got me on the phones. They started a radio show, a television show, the score phone, I'd update the score phone. Remember to have to get scores. Back at you live at the top of the hour. Let's take a look at your games on the way in the first inning. It's the Yankees one-nothing over Toronto. Met's getting pounded by Pittsburgh seven to nothing. (laughing) We'll probably look at the score, that might be happening. But yeah, so then I wrote an article that I had a magazine called the Las Vegas Sporting News. And I wrote an article called "Behind the Scene" of a multi-million dollar scheme. HBO was, they were investigating the business in '97. And they read the article and they wanted to meet the guy who wrote the article. And they served me up to the HBO people. And they liked me, they had me on. And they actually hired me for a couple of shows as a consultant after that, too. But because I ran the advertisement, too, for the company, everybody in the business, like you come work for us, come to Vegas, we'll pay you a lot, we'll do this. So after two or three years, Jamie, we just got married. She goes, "Let's do this, let's take this job and form my ass." The guy's talking, "Oh, double your salary and make this." Grabbed our balls, went down there and sold everything, jumped into Cadillac, still wasn't able to drive 'cause I had my DOI. Through my parrot, literally, on my shoulder, we packed the car, we snow in April 19th of 2001. Snow and we like, we got to the one of the West Virginia, whatever you go through, and it was night. And we got down there, we started a radio show and magic happened for a while anyway, but all good things come to an end. And we weren't even doing anything wrong. We were just giving out picks, but we were making too much fucking money. We were making too much money, the kids were getting stupid. They were all 22, 25. If you didn't make $10,000 or $15,000 a week, they were salty, fighting over. That was my lead, that was my guy on the phone. That was my client. And it just spiraled out, and I saw a comment too, though. I saw a comment, if we would have stuck together and people didn't rat on everybody, they would have got thrown out, but people panicked. Too much money at stake, you know, $14 million is a lot. And yeah, since then, I've been on my own. We moved back to Pennsylvania shortly after that, like a year later. He was born in Florida. On the diRest, I should say, that might account for a lot. (laughs) - You and I at that time, were the only guys in our clique that were traveling. - Yeah. - Everybody else stayed in the park and all. - We were going on the Belmar. - I mean, this motherfucker traveled all around the country. - Right. - I'm trying to beat two Cubans in Miami, and then I end up in LA, finally succumbed to my uncle. And I go to LA and the first two days of my uncle. - He's fucking brutal. He's just running me ragged on fucking attitude about my mother, telling me how she was involved with people. And I'm like, you know what? You opened his bar because I'm my fucking mother. Where's my aunt? - Right. - And he was like, you gotta stay at the hotel and all this shit. And he let me stay on top of the bar when I just robbed him. I said enough is enough. I fucking put a hole in the wall. (laughs) I put a ton in the job and I just draw hundreds in there. - Oh man. - And that night he kept bugging me. And I'm like, fuck this motherfucker. I kicked the door and I took the money out of that fucking hole as I turned around. There's my fucking uncle with a gun in his hand. And he's like, get out and leave the money. And I already had like a thousand of my stock. I wasn't going nowhere. I gave him the money. I had his jewelry and upstairs and I walked out. And then I made believe him. And I pulled the gun out of him. He liked me now, motherfucker. And he goes, you're an animal. I give your mother get out of here and the cab came. - Thank you, that's a lot for him. - And I got it because he kept saying that my brother was a murderer because my mother stuck up for his sister. - Right. - A sister was getting raped and my mother stuck a ball of them. So he kept saying, you got your mother's blood and you're a murderer. And then if we get getting in the fucking cab and just on the cab driver, take me somewhere. I was fucking my spirit was done. Like this was my last hole. My uncle, he's my mother's brother. - Right. - And he's breaking my fucking balls. And I got a rabbit back to where I started. And here I am in this whole town in Orange County. And I called that. - I remember that too. - I showed up with Jaymo with a pizza and dog. I'm out. I'm like, fucking, they just walked in. - I remember that. - Where's the jewelry right there. They gave me like 150 bucks. And I fucking, they left me a pizza. They goofed on me. Look at the shape of you. You're bleeding. You know. - I remember that man. - Oh my God, that was terrible. - So you guys left. And I didn't want to get caught by the police. So I get back on people's express. You don't have to pay to you got on the plane with the credit card. - I'm having $99 flights. - There was no credit card in my world. - Like that. - No money. - Unless it was stolen. I never forget that I kept on lady. I had money on me. I kept on lady's lady. The cards are my luggage. Don't worry about nothing. We'll catch you next time, bro. When I got out of the door, there were three cops waiting for me. They let me downstairs. They searched for my shit. I kept saying I got no money. I lost my whole wallet. I couldn't say I had money in my sock. So you know, getting here till we pay this like, over the year. That's the same thing. The morning they give me this credit card over the phone. He was pissed. - Anthony, yeah. We go back quite a while. - It's 84. - Yeah, he had his black-elderado berets then. I remember that black-elder. See, my memory's still pretty sure. All the shit I did to myself, I still can remember shit. But you don't remember what you did yesterday for breakfast. - I don't really eat breakfast. - Well, that was a fuck. - That was an easy answer. - No, my memory's still pretty good. But when I drink though, the kids got to tell me that. You got to stop. I do black out from drinking sometimes. - So stop. - But it's all in fun. They're like, I wake up like I'm so, I'm like, did I work out last night when I was drinking that like, bad you would like, don't push ups one handed. You started working out with that thing. And I'm like, okay, don't wrestle in the kids. You know, they're younger, I know. I still feel like I can fight them, but they're younger. I can still fuck them. - And I've always told like, Lee and Rios. - Oh, and up, we weren't back yet. - No. - We were like, people on fire. All right. Chilling people, burying them in the woods. - That's not a bad kid, dude. That's a fucking, we were having. - Serial killer. - We were having the best time we could have for what they gave us. - Yeah, we were all tough down. Everybody was tough. - Everybody knew how to fight and get around. - Yeah. - And then you learn how to fight for what you yours. - Right. - And then you just learn this, there was a mentality growing up here. And it was that old Italian blue collar Irish. - Right. - That was what this area was about. And it really inspires you. When you see these guys, a great Dalton's bar, you look at their hands and their fucking hands are hanging. They're drinking and you're like, you know what? That's not what I want to do. Well, listen to what that guy's saying. He's talking. - That's a drop of knowledge I have. - We were around really good people when we grew up. We were around a couple of bad people. The good people we had in our lives were fucking that good. - Yep. They were, they looked that good. And we got looked out after. And again, my daughter, your son, you'll never know that. - Well, they hear the stories. - They hear the stories, but to see it, we also read about George Washington, the slits. You know what I'm saying, what that got us? But my son's also here, other people co-signing it so they know my stories are true. And I do leave out a lot of stuff 'cause I had ashamed of some of the stuff or I don't want them to know. - What are you fucking ashamed of? - Well, some of the things I did. - I know. - Listen, I asked myself once a year. - I gotta say, just things I wish I didn't do. That might be bad. - The things I wish I didn't do were crimes. The things I wish I didn't do were the people who loved me. The people I went off to the reservation with, that they really loved me. It was one of the particular I stopped talking to and she died until this day, I think about it. Like every fucking day in the show, I'm like, man, thank God, she looks old to me. But me robbing Michael shit, I'd do it again. Me robbing a drug deal and I'm telling you, I'm going to get attacked by a cat. I do that again. - You know, I would say the only people I ever rob, what drug deal? - Yeah. down a s. or anything. No, we were just in the fucking game. And we did it properly and we really thought we were the man and we got away with a lot. Things are ashamed of, I guess we'd be like, just selling drugs to my friends and stuff. Looking back, you know, I wish I could take that back. No one now that, you know, a lot of people never came back from that. You know, I wasn't alone, but that's about it when I say I'm ashamed. Maybe that was the wrong word, but I wish I didn't get involved in that part. Wish I could have avoided that. Just on my daughter, even if they go to a fucking club, in a Atlantic city on the south, they might get in the middle and jump up and down. They'll never have the amount of accessibility we'd add here. We didn't snorkel, you didn't snorkel, it's like we are now. Lee, I'd love to do heroin with you and I tease you, but I don't. You know, saying everybody gave you this, there was no such thing as, you're a push you. If you don't do this, we never worked that one. We did it because you did it. Nobody put a gun to your head if you want to, you knew that your parents were at the board of education or you knew that your father was a cop or you knew that your father was a chief of police. So it was all on you what you wanted to do. You know, I think if I would have had a mother, I wouldn't have done that, but that's bullshit. I was going to do it no matter what. I had a mother and I still better. Yeah. So, you have to consider it wasn't, I don't say that we were junkies. The availability of 1980 to 85 Lee with drugs, you had a better chance of getting an ounce of cocaine for free than like common things. You might take you a week to find the job, but you'll find the motherfucker the same day. That will say take to see what you could do and I'll be back in a week. Is it like weed now or even more intense? It's dug. All we have now is weed and edibles in the store. And then when you go out on Friday night, so you're going to ultra. You have festivals and you have pink cocaine and all these other drugs that kids are doing today. And that's fine. I'm not ever angling. I'm not saying that. The amount of availability there was masculine Lee. There was acid always in town. There was no mushrooms. That was a west. No, there was a lot of masculine, a lot of masculine, a lot of fucking that. That's what you want to do Lee was either go over that Lincoln tunnel or go over that bridge. You could do things. Nobody needed to know. Did they have a train back then or no? It doesn't fucking matter. They did have a train. They had everything. That's what one of our buddies, a cop would just put the badge out there, free travel through the tunnel. Nobody fucked with you. No, ideally. So that was America's playground. Now you see white people smoking vapors. Oh my god. I love this cafe and alpha bed city. You want to go up to them and smack them in the face. Like if you knew what went on this street 30 years ago, you wouldn't even walk on this fucking street. Me and while you're sitting here with that fucking snickerdoodle, I don't know who's ugly or the dog of your fucking skinny boyfriend, and you're smoking a vapor pen. No, they're all faggy fucking dogs. My point is they had no idea what the what they was sitting on. Manhattan was a place that you went to 11, not to come home at one now. That was never going to happen. You were going to find yourself in a car with us with sunglasses on, coming over the bridge. Man, that was fun. It ain't even done. No, no, no. We're going to earn these to pick up three cases and the other car is going to get a whole tall room. We're not even fucking done. I thought I was going to go to work at 10. That one. It's over. I missed the last two days. Quit. It's over. That's how you, and you had a new job on Friday. Yeah, I was in the elevator's yearning real quick for like three or four weeks and the guys were laid back. I was, you know, I helped with the tools. It was a good job. Otis, Elevator. And that's how I wind up, Quinn. Yeah, I got my first check. It was for like $900 and I'd looked at it and I was like, you know what, fuck this. Fuck this. I ain't going. I'm having a good time. And plus I just made $3,000 yesterday. Yeah. And turn it over. It's fucking insane. Yeah. It was insane. After a while, you're like, why am I getting the job poor? I can make more money sitting at Midtown and running errands like go on and give me somebody around. It's too easy. That's what it was. And it was so much accessibility. Accessibility, I couldn't handle. That's why I left. It was overwhelming. It was accessibility for women, drugs, hideouts. If you didn't want to drink in North Bergen, you went to Union City to his uncles, his great uncles bar and drank there. If not, you went the whole bulk into a dime and the cops were looking for you. You went to Guttenberg to that, that hope that what's the apartment building the first one we spoke about? They got to see a little bar in there. In the corner. They made the best doctor reason and you could snort, you could do anything in there. Nobody knew anything. That's where you go to hide? Yeah, that's where you went with a broad nobody. And then I had my apartment upstairs because I was the maintenance man. So I'd see who needed a room and I'd go to their fucking rooms and sit there with their robes on and shit like fucking Marlon Brando. It's a different fucking world, and I'm happy. I'm very happy that our kids don't see this, but in a way, I'm sad that the kids you'd mention my boy. That dude never talked to me again. Paris, Pizziona. Oh, Paris. And I loved him. There was one kid I really loved. I just talked to him the other day on the farm. You know, he became a state trooper. What he'll want to do is the time we went in the city and the eighth grade, we went to a peep show and his neck got stuck. Oh gosh. I'm one of those things where you don't put enough quarters in. So, who does that happen to him? It's fucking the geek. And he's a state trooper, isn't he? Don't he become a cop? Oh, Paris? Yeah. He played in California after the Navy and he became an aircraft mechanic. Oh, okay. I thought he was something like that. But I was nervous to drive in there and one day he pulled me over. You're the mother fucker. It was in Paris, then. Paris joined the Navy in '79 and never came back. State in California. Yeah. I met Paris. So Paris was like 16 when he joined the Navy. Well, 17, yeah. Yeah. We all joined at the same time. He liked football. He played basketball with him in the eighth grade. Well, he was a good ball player. He was an actual ball player. He wasn't good in school. But he didn't. No. Andy Ego and did very well for himself. Actually, he was just in Jersey to attend the wedding this weekend with Denise Mick. You know, Denise Mick. Is that where you went for that wedding? No, no. I went. Yeah. He was cousins with him somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They are cousins. They're like second cousins or some show like that. But yeah. Think about that. They've been in the eighth grade. Alan mommy. You're excited about your madness. And all of a sudden, you're in the city at 10am. And after we smoked a joint, and now we're playing three-carb monty with a bunch of brothers and a bunch of German tourists watching us. German fuck it. And then from there, after you lost your money, you walked up two more blocks. And next thing you know, we're talking to one of those guys that barks outside the dingy strip club. You ever seen your life? They had barkers for strip clubs? Oh, yeah. Big mother fucks. Come on in. Come on in. Meet the girls. Oh, yeah. They weigh in. They weigh in. 13 like shit. And we sit down. The girls are sitting on your lap. And at that time, every hand that you had on your body came out. You were like an octopus. You were grabbing assholes. And they'd say, "All stop it. You have to buy me champagne." And then the champagne would come. It was like a disc. And they wanted 20 bucks. And I was like, "I ain't got plenty of bucks. All right, get out." We would do that from strip club to strip club. I remember those little champagne bottles. Yeah, those little champagne bottles. Wait, wait. They pull you right off the street. You were in that fucking eighth grade. I can't even, I wouldn't have been allowed to walk around New York by myself in the eighth grade. I don't think. What? Probably not. You lived a sheltered life, young man. Like I said, some parents at that time. Your daughter's gonna close the eighth grade? Yeah. Would I let her walk over now? Right now would be a shock to her system, but yes, if she went with girls that knew what they were doing. Little older. Okay. But she's not scared to go over there. No, I wouldn't mean to. Right now. With her little fucking mind. I would have loved to have done it. Yeah. They're not prepared, but they are. That's how you get prepared. Yeah. The first time she walks past a junkie drinking off, the first time she walks past somebody fucking puke and first time she walks somebody bleeding. Yeah. That's how you go. Okay. I got a really fucking. I could tell you all you want. Lee, don't look at your phone when you go down there. Please. Looks straight ahead. You know? You open donut shops. And also, some guy gets hit by a car. Ain't nobody stopping. The guys just get hit over and over again. Bubbub, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Oh, I gotta tell you something that's gonna make everybody very happy. Well, first of all, the fact it's going to announce a date on it is going to be that big. So last week, my daughter got me all of duty. Oh, I don't know. Those video games. The video game. Yeah. We don't need to be okay. We lived. Exactly. I was never good at that stuff. He said enough is enough. I wanted to learn how to relate to the leaf. So I went upstairs. We couldn't get the call of duty to work. But she did have brand theft auto. Holy shit, brand theft auto was awesome. I just said, would you believe that holy shit? All I know is it took me an hour to go to the parking lot. And then I kept losing Lamar. You lost Lamar. Lamar. Lamar. Lamar. Lamar. Lamar. And then there was a scene. I couldn't control the steering wheel. I could control the speed and shit. But the steering wheel, dog, I was hit in pedestrians. I was hit in the hot dog people. I hit an old lady and I was just like, that didn't know lady. Fuck her. We were fucking. going off. Oh, did you need to have to do missions? They would be hysterical. But you can just go around killing hookers and like robbing people. That's all I would. No, no, no, it's not that. Listen, anybody I killed, I killed on accident. I'm not going to sit here and tell you, oh, you should have seen me. I was horrible. I got to practice the gun war. But this is left. This is right. This, I don't know. This is shooting. Then there's a star triangle. Oh, I can never do that in the car. See you have a place. There's a circle for him to throw punches and shit like that. Don't they have grenade launches on those things? Let's start basic. I ain't no fucking James Bond. Okay. But for I tell you what, even my wife got home. My wife was fucking howl. Howl. I was really like fucking had to stop a few times because I thought I was going to six. I can't imagine. I'm that bad. I'm that. I could put a season premiere. I'll Uncle Joey plays all of what I would be fine. And put it on Twitch. And it's going to be all over the shop. That would be huge. That'll be the biggest entertainment. It's a little. I don't know what I'm doing. Okay. I don't think we can go on there and we'll look at me. Me going on there with 1022 joints in me and 2,000 milligrams just hitting poles and shit because you can't kill that car. Well, let me be there was a scene when I was chasing somebody right in the snow, right. I couldn't get out of the snow. I kept falling backwards. You're in the snow. Oh, yeah. Come on, Lee. Come on. I don't know. Once you know with that one, you have to do red dead redemption too. Where you cowboy. Let me be playing number two. That would really be entertaining because I even back in the 70s, the Atari. I was horrible back then. We weren't caught out. Oh, my cousin, Jayma, would tear up silver ball, number silver ball. It was the king of silver ball, but he was also selling six for five joints in number six or five. How long were you playing Grand Theft Auto for? I was told edible. Oh, I was fucking loving. Well, perfectly. Especially after surgery. I would laugh. Oh, I'm going to get really good during my surgery. He's going to get better. Yeah. Wait till they give me those pain pills, like the first three days that you'll be running over people for sure. I'm going to be running over. I watched the kids play and I'm like, they really have games like this. Never been in my thing. But once I started seeing them, how realistic they are. They watch Army shows. They watch them. They're about to come out with a new one. Which one? Grand Theft Auto. A new one? It's been years. That five has been out for like, wow. I don't know. I gotta get myself on one of those shows because that is my life. They get up and they just rot cause. Yeah, but I got killed. You know, it's funny. They got killed a few times, right? You've been killed a bunch of times. Oh, I know your movies, they always seem to kill you. Yeah, I get killed. I got blown off and all the saints of Noah. It's a fucking higher writers rock. Start took years and years to develop a story that you're saying it was just your life. I'm like, that whatever. Okay. I did not ever. I played the other day. Right. Was just a regular day for me in the old days. Which one? You get up. You either crazy guy. The black guy or the guy in the suit. I was all mixed in one. I'm saying I'm my own. I remember the island of Dr. Morale. Yeah. Dr. Morale. John Voic. The actor was John Voic. That would do what? The island of Dr. Morale. No, it was a Martin Brando did it. 19 fucking night. Well, he did something. Wasn't he in it with him? I don't know. Don't remember. I don't know. We're talking about we went from a video game. It's the fucking damn weed you gave me. I'm sitting your head just trying to you know, I ate at a bulls. I don't know how you do it, especially with that staircase out there. You need an elevator. I'm in one that we had a party Hudson County Park. On the river, you know, on the little island, you had a walk. I was just there. Today telling stories about that. You talk to your son. They used to have and they used to roll a keg across. This is not known to Folk Arachio. That part of town with a fearless leaders. They were. They invented that the Broadway boys. Yeah. We don't hear what's Cuomo's. That's that was that. They would push the keg across, launch it and then start drinking. They invited me one year. It was the coldest night of the fucking winter. He did that stupid Cuba to ask where's a flannel with all its moisture. Thank God. I had some quailers because I ate some quailers and I went through a wing fund with Folk and lubes. And we watched Folk Arachio in a lube. A lube and he just fell asleep in the folks right now. He has a big nose. So he started to wring off. He was fucking breathing and snoring. He was a mad man. And lubes was like, "Wait up. No, don't wake up. You're embarrassing me." And all this shit and fucking. And then I ended up walking home and I ended up falling asleep in the apartment building dragging grocery. They just had it on Facebook last week. But in the 70s, they made the best Chinese food there on Sunday. But if you went next door to it, there was an apartment building and upstairs, Lisa Gennepkinop lived. She was a high Jewish girl. Yeah, she was a Jewish girl. I did not have to say a last name. So we just caught on the Lisa Gennepkinop. She was fucking beautiful. She was fucking beautiful dog. But I woke up in the morning like this. In the door jam with my feet keeping the door open. When I woke up, the sweatshirt was light blue. But it had like a spin frost on it. I was like a tin man. I was frozen dog. And people say, "You lose fingers in shit." Now when you eat two quailies from far in the village in those days. Those guys did, they were the original tough guys. Folk O'Rachio Duffy. Who's the other? There was a few of them that were a villa was involved in Acro. But your folk always reminded me of Ringo Starr. If you look at his younger pictures, he's a great fucking guy. He's down in North Carolina now. He moved down there. I see him on Facebook. I go back and forth from him some time. I always loved him. He drove me to get pink Floyd tickets and fucking withdrawing on the turn pipe. 1979, maybe two weeks after my mother died. And I get in the car with him. Let's go. That's wonderful. Let's go. That was him, too. Seven in the morning drinking. Fucking, we got to stop. I think it was me and Dede and Loubs in the car. And we're driving. He goes, "Give me that fucking joint." He starts smoke on the joint. And the thing falls and burns the shirt. And also, you know, those little orange barrels, he just fucking hit one knee. And the barrel went up like 80 feet in the air that we don't like. Holy fuck. And it just landed like on the other lane. Cars are going around this shit. Oh my God. Yeah, I think he was the original man, man. One of the original. He was a good hockey player, him and his brother Ralph. They used to have these parties right next to Morex and Gamio's house. Gamio had the garage that you pulled in like this. But there was always a painter's ladder in the garage and it led to a little attic. All right. He would have parties up there. But you gotta remember, there was no door. You just walked up. And when Halloween, Joe went dressed as the devil. It was always the devil because that was his nickname, the devil, Joel, a folk Satan. Satan. That's what he was Satan. So he had the red suit on the whole thing. I remember that. I mean, your uncle and Loubs were eating the rill of biscuits, fucking around with him, talking about Satan and all this shit. We keep walking them back. Well, didn't show the time. Yeah, we keep walking back. And the hole was right there, Doug. And it was a drop by Pat and also we kept walking them back. And he goes, "Happy 10th world." And that's all you heard. We all went down to see him and he landed on his head and his clothes were bent. And he's like, he's bleeding from one side. Didn't care probably. This was like every other weekend. We would do acid and go in that attic and see who we could throw down that club in the hole. Oh my god. Yeah, he was crazy. They hung out at the yon tap a lot too. Tabetino was trying. Yeah. I remember I had my first out of the army. That was the first place I went for a drink was at the on top and the colon aid. And then you had that. I never went to any of those. No, you didn't go to the TikTok. I was too young even for corkies. I would eat pizza next and watch what happened at corkies. I would like to be snowball fights and shit. I'm like, man, I can't turn. And he was very strict about being 21 or 18. He was 18 back. Yeah, we were grandfathered in here. He was fucking, he was old school with that shit. You can't go in my bar. Oh, Tabetino. No, no, no, no, corkies. When it was time, corkies. Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember corkies. I showed it and he called it Gregory's seven day weekend. Oh, that was a madhouse tell. Right there on the corn one day nights, when they had the they used to do those walkers, juices, bluebirds for $2. Didn't John Kelly work at the bar there? Sunday nights. My rest is so. Yeah, I was shocked to hear that. Unfortunately, just like that. That's how life is. That's where he every day I wake up. I try to enjoy myself. So bad when he died that morning. I felt so guilty. I'm like, I'm gonna have to go to his wake. I used to throw ice cubes at him. On Sunday nights, probably used to bombard him. It was a definitely he was. We did pick on him a bed at the bar every time he turned around the whole bar with the ice cubes out. You would see the ice. They would take him like four minutes to turn around. He go mother fuck. And then he would turn around and go the next person who throws an ice cube. I'm throwing out and he turned around and every fucking body would throw an ice cube. When did he just left? I think I remember that he left. That was a hot spot. Yeah, and they made a good state there too. Sunday nights was no, not a quirky. Gregory's. When Gregory opened up. Yeah, Gregory's. Yeah, Gregory's. Corki was a madman when he was on a marching powder. I remember when he fought. He had a fight with Nick the pizza man and they were out there throwing snowballs at each other calling each other motherfucking Nick that's another one high school just got my slice of pizza and these motherfuckers I still remember being out there at 11 and the door would open for the night before maybe like three guys are blood on their shirts they'd hug each other oh see you next week I can't wait to be able to go on that bar to see what the fuck goes yeah fucking weird times the boss like there's some bars that we were getting what was that stripped of cold and I'm the cold oh with the guy that had the wig and young we chicks that there were white guttenberg oh my god everybody was allowed in the cold yeah they were 10 the guy had a wig and I'm in my finger the girl one day I had to take three shots right on the bar right my whole body stunk from finger like a cute melodic girl and Holloway got rest of so I was in love with her and he was trying to fuck her my god those were fucking that was that strip club then you had the one on tony when we were way before the one you're oh that was a fun spot there wasn't there long no army base I can't have to my the naval base was a naval base I was a metal and zen guy with the bottles and the pussy and I really wasn't much into the strip clubs I did I went along for the ride with them but I wasn't that wasn't my thing I just the over gone brothers took me to the table over gone remember Jesus I don't love tell you love them big leds up in fact and they had a candy company so at night he would steal his father's candy truck and take it to Harlem to cop you being the backs don't cook the B.
