Bert Kreischer shares a candid, humorous, and deeply personal reflection on his life, comedy, and the people who shaped him. He begins by discussing his transformation from a serious, business-minded performer to someone who prioritizes fun, spontaneity, and emotional authenticity in his comedy. This shift is rooted in personal growth, especially after realizing that fear and overthinking sabotage performance. He recounts a vivid, exhilarating blackjack experience at a casino in Florida, where a chance encounter with a stranger led to a series of wins that underscored the thrill and unpredictability of gambling. Kreischer then paints a vivid portrait of the chaotic, immersive world of casinos—filled with laughter, drugs, and strange social dynamics—while noting how these environments contrast with the structured, often cold realities of modern life. A central theme is his deep connection to his childhood teachers, whom he remembers as mentors, protectors, and figures of authority who offered genuine care and personal insight. He recalls how teachers in his youth were not just educators but confidants who could sense a student’s struggles and offer guidance, a relationship he believes has been lost in today’s schools. He shares a powerful story of reconciliation with a former teacher, Mr. Lee, who once punished him for a minor offense, later forgiving him and forming a lasting bond. These memories highlight how meaningful human relationships, especially those formed in formative years, continue to influence his values. He ends by emphasizing how small, everyday moments—like his daughter’s preference for Cuban rice—reveal how education and mentorship leave lasting imprints. The narrative blends humor, vulnerability, and nostalgia, offering a heartfelt look at personal growth, human connection, and the enduring power of mentorship.

you eureka was
And I went there in 1995, 96.
I lived in Seattle, and it was mind-boggling.
I'm sure it hasn't changed at all.
A little better than SOTB.
A little bit better.
A little better.
I heard a guy yelling, like, fuck that midget.
Oh, yeah.
On the tour, they were yelling, fucking, but this is 1995.
You said midget, spick, nobody even turned their heads.
Now these pussies.
You said trigger.
You're allowed to say whatever you want.
I've smoked one cigarette in my life.
I don't go to casinos that don't have cigarettes.
I love the smell of a cigarette in a casino.
You hear Sinatra, you feel that, you know what I'm saying?
You feel it.
Oh, my God.
Dude, it's a good thing we don't live in a place with a lot of casinos,
because I could spend every second in a casino.
And don't they have them in Brooklyn?
They have one in Harlem.
They're opening one up right next to Citi Field.
That's the one that just got approved.
And they have one by the airport, by JFK.
They have Resorts World.
But it's, like, really out there.
There's one by Citi Field you'll be able to take the train to,
and that's going to be a problem for me.
No, no, no, Westchester.
Wherever, is that, where is Citi Field in Westchester?
Yeah, it's in Queens.
It's right next to, it's going to be right, the guy who owns the Mets,
like, is partnering with Hard Rock, where we just were.
I love, and, oh, and people get it.
I love it.
I get angry, like, especially, like, if you, like, in L.A.,
I went to Commerce Casino a bunch of times.
L.A. has some creepy casinos, and people get mad at you.
Those Asians will kill you.
Yeah.
Don't go down there fucking with those Asians.
No.
That's their thing.
When you guys would, like, stay on 15, I got, like, in the deal,
it was like, yeah, you can't, yeah, the lesbian the next day
was a little bit, not upset with us, but she wasn't cool.
You can do whatever you want, but if you don't play by the book
with, like, the, like, the, from China,
like, oh, they'll fucking yell, they'll get up and leave the table
and curse you in Chinese.
Oh, you've never seen the Commerce Casino?
Bro, you could eat Chinese food from a cart as you play.
Oh, it's the best.
They'll bring you Kung Pao, but not even the shit from the restaurants.
They bring you the shit that those primitive Chinese people,
you know, all them dang lizards and shit.
Oh.
Think I'm fucking kidding you.
There's one.
You think I'm fucking kidding you.
They don't fuck around.
That's a different style of Chinese because it's Chinese Filipino.
My mercy's godmother interviewed them on a dough.
On a dough, they offered it.
And her and her husband and I are talking,
we're going to gracefully resign.
I'm not even taking the job.
Wow.
Because it's all fucking Chinese.
Oh, I bet.
It's heavy duty Chinese mob.
We were just talking about the bicycle casino.
One night, I forget if I was doing comedy yet or not,
but I went through, like, different phases of playing blackjack in L.A.
One night, I drove all the way down to the bicycle,
because, you know, I got to the parking lot.
It was my, like, second or third time there.
A dude in a jacket said, no, it was an FBI jacket.
Like, you can check it out.
In, like, 2017, 2018, it got raided for some sort of, like, fraud.
And, like, it opened a week later.
They don't fuck.
And there was one, I went to in L.A. a lot over in Oxnard,
which wasn't even a casino.
It was just in, like, it was, like, next to a car dealership
and an RV dealership.
They had poker and blackjack.
Blackjack tables.
That's it.
I don't even think it was legal.
Ooh.
I love that you're doing all these casinos.
It's so much fun.
There's nothing like, like, and that's why, because poker is, I hate it.
Because everyone's grumpy.
No one's, because you're trying to beat each other.
Blackjack is quick, bro.
It's quick.
We're all on the same team.
That's when you're going to lose me.
Once you get Monopoly, once you start hitting the hotels,
that's when you're going to lose me.
I want the three blue ones.
That's it.
And I can negotiate and you can rent.
But once you're telling me to put hotels and stuff,
that's where I get up and go, that's it.
It's too long.
It's too much of an investment.
I got to sit here for eight hours to be Joe Marcosini
and own the skyline.
Get the fuck out of here.
I got two minutes.
And that's why I like blackjack.
It's quick.
I like roulette.
Not roulette.
The one-armed swordsman because it's quick.
I only lost 40 bucks.
I said, fuck that.
I ain't roulette.
I'm going to go over and play blackjack.
I played blackjack on DraftKings.
Yeah, I did that today.
I lost 100 bucks.
You got over the jersey?
Oh, all the time.
Is that before you took a shit in the bathroom?
I didn't take a shit today.
One of you is a nasty motherfucker that took a shit.
No.
You take a shit when you gamble.
You get all excited.
No, you can't.
I get so superstitious.
I don't go to the bathroom when I gamble
because every time I'll be doing great
and as soon as I take a piss
and my hands touch my dick,
it's no good.
It's bad luck.
You can't piss.
You can't.
Oh, I get real superstitious.
Do you have anything weird like that
I don't like Chinese people standing behind me
when I play.
Anything.
Anything.
Every time a Chinese person stood behind me,
I've lost it all and then some.
Yeah.
Lost it all.
And I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm not prejudiced.
I love Chinese people.
I love Becky.
I love. I eat that shit once a week.
You know, I don't buy Chinese food from Spanish people.
No.
I buy it from Chinese people,
so I like them.
I like Chinese people too,
but that's. I don't. Chinese women dealers can't fuck around with them
because they're too fast.
Oh, no.
You need someone who's not really that good at their job.
Where were we?
We were just somewhere
and the dealer was a little bit retarded.
Remember, it was like a kid's first day.
It was like a chubbier version of me.
Oh, that night when we went to. Yeah, Fort Lauderdale.
The first night they gave us. Was it the Fort Lauderdale or Virginia or some of the Maryland. It was an autistic plan.
He came out there
and we couldn't beat him
because he knew numbers.
10 million autistic people.
Oh, my God.
He flipped us a hand
and then he skipped the card
and then they had to rename it.
It was just like. I don't know.
It was his first day.
And that's where you can make money
is they make a little bit of a mistake.
Yeah.
Dude.
Oh, I have so. And like people go to casinos
to like get drunk and hook up.
I've never. Fuck that.
I'll go down in sweatpants and a t-shirt and. You're a businessman.
You ain't got time to fucking. That's what I was telling you.
But when you add excitement to it
and your friends
and it doesn't matter
if you lose a hundred bucks,
you're yelling with your people,
the waitress is coming,
you know, water drinks,
you know, you get a headache.
Yeah.
Unless you go to the bar
and even then it's watered down.
Those casinos,
they milk you to death.
I did two shots of tequila.
Nothing happened.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Nothing.
They hold the whole fucking thing.
Everybody's licking lemons.
Nothing.
Two shots.
I got more drunk off the Heineken
for four minutes
than the edible took over.
And you don't have anything to drink
on these planes.
I don't. You know me.
I don't drink.
As soon as we get on these planes
and they have. Free alcohol.
Every drop.
I have to have at least two drinks.
I wish I could drink
because by the time
we would have gotten to Tampa,
we would have had a crawl in.
Oh, yeah.
Because think about if I drank,
all you motherfuckers got to drink.
I don't care if it's 10 in the morning
or not.
We're getting fucked up.
This is Bert Kreischer style.
This is the highway to hell.
Yeah.
I took tequila shots
and we had fucking. Oh, chicken colored sandwich.
That's what it was.
Oh.
Oh.
That was the worst.
I hate chicken cutlets anymore for months.
Only George and my wife
and I'm trying to tell my wife
not to cook them anymore either
because George is so good
at the chicken cutlet world
but this shit at the store,
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
Go to a deli,
these Italian places,
they can't wait
to put the mozzarella on there
and the roasted red peppers
and the balsamic
and everything tastes good
but something just ain't right
in that fucking thing.
You're like,
I'm tasting somebody's freezer.
Well, it's Purdue.
If you go to a bodega in the city,
it's all the same.
It's like the pre-breaded,
they don't make it,
they don't make it there.
It's like they buy it
from their supplier.
How disgusting.
Yeah.
No, and that's why
George's tastes good.
If you can tell,
it's fresh.
I don't care if it's got steroids
in it, the chicken.
No, they all have.
I'll keep eating chicken
until I grow a wing.
I'll grow a wing.
That's steroids.
Nothing happens to you.
But it's just crazy that,
you know,
part of my job
that I really like,
I mean, I'm a fat fuck,
but part of my job
that I really enjoy
is that I get to go
across the country
and at least try
one restaurant.
You know,
you have no idea
what that means to me.
I'm not going to show up
at a coffee shop
and go,
oh my God,
we went to this cute
little cafe in Rome.
It's not going to happen
in my world.
I want to see what
America had to offer.
By me touring
all those years,
bro,
I had some great
fucking meals
and places that,
you know,
if you go to Denver
and you want a slice of pizza,
you're done.
You're done, bro.
Why would you do that?
Especially if you're from here.
Let's go to Texas.
Let's get a pizza pot.
Ain't nothing in Texas either.
This is it.
And you try to be prejudiced
and you try to be honest,
you know,
but this is it.
This is as good as it gets.
You're going to get
some pizza on the road
that is so bad.
And then the people
from New Jersey
look at me and go,
this is so bad.
Why'd you order it?
Why'd you fucking order it?
You knew.
Look at the guy making it.
His name is Juan.
He'd never even been
to Jersey or New York.
So now you get
what you fucking,
you know.
But man,
like if you eat this shit
from the road,
from the region,
like the first time
I went to Texas
in an alligator,
I felt so fucked.
I bombed that night,
but I didn't give a fuck
because I did something
different being from this area.
We don't do shit.
Everything's the same.
What are we doing?
Let's go to Florida.
Let's go to Atlantic City.
I love Florida.
Florida's a fucking dump.
You saw it.
You saw half those people,
what they look like.
They're fucking,
their skin's gone.
It's like an alligator.
You know,
they're like alligators.
The women, tattoos,
they're all chubby.
The one that I swapped spit with
at the bar was chubby
with a little
a fucking frog on his stomach and shit.
- Oh Jesus.
I want to kiss you.
I don't want to kiss you.
But she was so nice.
She gave me a pain fucking pill.
Oh, gee, I missed that.
I gave her a kiss.
Did you really?
Oh, fuck yeah.
She called me all night long.
Take a fucking Uber.
I ain't taking it.
Listen, I'm too old.
By the time I get there, I don't even have a dick that gets up anymore.
Like I said on stage, I don't even jerk off no more because I'm scared to what's going
to come out.
I'm 63.
It could be blood.
It could be fucking some purple shit.
Oh, my God.
It could be clear.
When I do cum, it's not like a gallon anymore.
It's like for a thirsty midget.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just enough to fucking quench his thirst.
His thirst?
Yeah.
Her thirst.
I don't know.
No, it's okay.
No one's judging you here.
Oh, my God.
She was a chubby little cute girl.
She's like, let's make out.
Fuck it.
Okay.
I swash bit with her.
You had a shot of tequila.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm not blaming on tequila.
Okay.
I'm one of those faggots.
I had tequila.
I didn't have tequila.
I knew exactly what I was doing.
I even told my wife.
She's like, what?
I kissed her one time.
She wanted to kiss me.
What do you want from me?
She's like, Jesus Christ.
I'm 63.
I could be dead tomorrow.
I could wake up tomorrow morning and just die.
So if I could make out with a little chubby chick one time in Florida, what the fuck?
She didn't give me a sore throat.
She wasn't a dick sucker.
Oh, thank God.
Look at her.
And the other girl, she looked like a man.
She was trying to fuck Mike Runny.
She's all mic'ing.
She had tits coming out of her shirt.
She was the ugliest thing you ever saw in your life.
She kept telling Mike, I'll take you up to the room now.
And Mike's like, my wife is dead.
I ain't going nowhere.
My wife died.
I don't want nobody in my room.
Did you see him?
He left all pissed off trying to suck my dick.
Really?
Idiot.
And loud.
She had like eight guys surrounding her.
And then they would have cocktails and see what she really looked like.
And go, hi.
But the chubby one was cute.
She kept all.
She came home with me early enough.
Did she have a phone or something?
She had a fucking Madonna thing on.
Oh, my God.
She had a little gut.
And she had a tattoo of a snake or something.
It looked like.
It used to be a frog, but it turned into a snake.
Whatever.
But listen, man.
Remember I used to do that stupid joke?
I take that seriously.
You know, every once in a while, you get like a little ugly chick.
She wants to give you a kiss.
You're not going to tell her she's ugly.
You're going to give her a kiss because you're a Christian.
You understand?
And Christ sees that type of stuff.
He's like, you kissed her.
You're a chubby girl, Joey.
It could be considered a cheat, but not really.
You didn't go home with her.
Nothing happened.
I just swapped spit with her one time.
Did you see how happy she was?
She wanted me to take her home.
And, you know, she's done.
But I was like, you know, I'm a man.
You like making a person's day.
You've always liked making a person's day.
I got nothing against making.
Listen, if you want to cheat on your wife, that's your business.
But if you bump into a blowjob, God wanted to make your day.
I've never in my life bumped into a blowjob.
If you're coming down the stairs right here, some chick is on the bottom going, ha, ha, ha.
Are you going to tell him I'm married?
No.
I'm going to take the blowjob and then say a prayer because Jesus wanted it in your path.
If Jesus don't want it in your path, he won't put it there.
Dude, there was one time where I did.
And it was years ago that I bumped into a blowjob, but didn't even realize it until it was like hours later.
I was at, I wasn't even doing comedy.
I went to the Stratosphere.
And it was right after I broke up in L.A.
And I went up.
They have like the bar that overlooks all of Vegas.
And I went up.
And as I was leaving.
This like 40, 50-year-old lady was like hammered walking out with her friend.
And like, I don't want to suck a dick.
And like.
But I was like shocked.
And I couldn't.
I had no idea.
I was like, I hope you have fun.
Like it was not anything.
But I've never once bumped into a blowjob.
Listen, I feel very comfortable when I speak to a girl who's 25.
I feel comfortable and safe when I talk to a girl who's 35.
I feel comfortable and safe when I talk to a woman.
When she's 42 and she's a single mom.
I feel very comfortable and safe.
But you don't know what life is.
So you run into a 55-year-old divorcee with nothing but pussy.
Her kids are gone from the house.
And she's ready to suck dick.
She don't care about AIDS.
That's why these people in the homes.
All those old people.
The STDs are higher than that.
But they're fucking for life now.
It don't matter.
I'm fucking you with a cigarette in my mouth.
I'm fucking you with an asbestos suit on.
You know.
Women I've had the hardest time with ever.
Like I.
Talk.
I talk.
I went to Cousins.
I went to Cousins.
Not on a Thursday night.
First time I went out in Central Jersey.
I went to Osteria on a Thursday night with friends of mine from North Bergen.
And I couldn't believe the amount of women and the size of them.
And the outfits they had on.
No.
I don't think you're talking about the height.
This ain't fucking funny.
The restaurant was so good that I told my wife.
Let's go back next week.
And some neighbors came with us.
And that was also a Thursday night.
And I'm sitting like the bar where we sit, where we ate.
If you look at that side, there's a long table.
Two long tables.
I was sitting in a four-man table.
But I'm looking at 12 Godzillas.
All Italian.
All with leopard suits on.
Not one of them goes to yoga.
Not one of them.
Again, I'm not here to criticize nobody.
But in my mental of criticizing, I said, Joey, you were raised by a mom.
You were a buck woman.
Okay?
How dare you?
Think that way.
They're women.
They're divorced.
They gave up two daughters already.
They raised two kids or three boys.
They went to softball games.
They went to football games.
The husband left for the fucking secretary.
What are they going to do?
Sit at home and eat meatballs?
Fuck no.
They're going to polish that pussy.
They go to a place in Red Bank where it does your pussy all over again.
You think I'm lying to you?
I've heard this from a woman at the gym.
That's an over-juvenation.
It's even better.
It takes the old skin out, sperm.
You're a virgin.
48 hours, you're a virgin.
The pussy's brand new.
They all do it at 50.
And how can I?
You know, listen, man.
Well, you can't get pregnant.
Might as well.
There was a girl about a year ago that I know.
She's older.
She was hammered.
There was a point where she had me against a wall this close in Osteria.
And everybody was looking.
I was like, what the fuck?
And she's like, I'm going to leave in 10 minutes.
Call me.
And I'm like, lady, I would love to.
Give you a stabbing.
But I'll go to hell.
That's number one.
But, bro, when I went out a half hour later, she was still outside in her car waiting for me.
I can't give her no dick.
I'm going to stick it in her.
It's going to come in two minutes.
Remember, I'm at a point now where it just comes.
It doesn't even come.
It just stops.
We just look at each other.
Everything all right.
Yeah.
I'm not going to.
My wife has to deal with that because we've been married for 25 years.
But you take a grown woman home.
And you give her three minutes of dick.
You're going to be a laughingstock.
You're going to be on every fucking riddle.
What's that thing that people talk about?
They see you taking a picture and they write about you.
Riffle, rifle, whatever the fuck it is.
But that, listen, man.
I got it.
I got it.
Where you go to talk about people.
Everybody jumps in.
Oh, Reddit?
Reddit.
There we go.
Yeah.
And you look at these women.
That would be fucked up.
If your mother was still alive today, she'd still be a fucking knockout wearing her boas.
Am I lying?
George.
With her fee-fee hat, with heels not giving zero fucks.
There's something about a woman I can't get mad at, but trying to be beautiful.
We were sitting at the table.
Tell George, the kid's mother who came up to us from the fucking, he's number one, number
three draft.
Oh, yeah?
In baseball.
But he didn't even come.
She didn't come.
We didn't go up to her.
We didn't go.
She came over to us.
And was like, hey, just so you know, grandson, first run.
My son.
Oh, but Nana was there too.
She came and she was good looking.
She had a baseball hat on, but she still had it.
The grandmother had to be 65.
Was she not dialed up to the nines?
I can't get mad at you.
No, they're fine.
I cannot get mad at you.
There's a 65-year-old man sitting there.
I don't know.
My wife died eight years ago.
I don't know what to do.
They're ready to give it up.
Those girls, it's no prerequisite.
You got a heartbeat.
They don't want to get mad.
They don't want to get remarried.
Listen, they don't want to get remarried.
They don't want to do nothing.
They just want a companion, and they want to fuck.
And you know what?
If you don't make the money they do at that age,
they got enough money from their ex-husbands.
They're dangerous.
These women, look at guys.
I probably saw what's his name the other day.
He's a handsome motherfucker.
He's 64.
Who's that?
The bass player from Guns N' Roses.
Duff with the blonde hair.
Oh, yeah?
Him and his wife.
I'm like, this guy, every two nights, he's on the road,
playing, running back and forth with fucking Slash.
At 64, that means we're extending.
At 64, you were like Archie Bunker.
Every father in America was Archie Bunker.
That's crazy.
He was like, what, 40 during that show?
He was 48 during that show.
That's how bad we looked at 40 in the 70s.
At 40, you had one foot in the grave.
Yeah?
I ain't more.
You know, Miss Jalen Williams, whatever his name is,
from the Boston Celtics.
Hey, Jason Tatum.
Name me an athlete that's. That's come back from that injury in seven months.
That's not because he's better than you.
That's because he's got a million dollars of support on him.
Oh, yeah.
They do the PAP every day, PDP.
You got people stretching you.
You got peptides.
You got steroids.
You got milk.
You got water.
You know, and the NBA gets the best.
Oh, they have to.
They're worth too much money to them.
What are we talking about?
These women will take PT-141.
You know it affects men, but it's also for women, for arousal.
I told you.
I told you motherfuckers, if you have a dad, he's single,
a sling dick don't listen viagra is great it works together with like that blue chew has two
things in it the new one works together with that fuck i can't believe we're talking about this on
the air but i want to school young kids because 40 year olds have any deep problems now 35 year
olds have a deep problem i have a joke about it's it's i'm telling you it's weird when it starts
it's very weird because in your 20s not when you're 55 well there's a difference between like
dead dick and like it's starting to like you can see that that dick is in your future listen the
thing that fucked my dick up was all those years of cocaine because you can't bring them back once
it's over it's over it goes in the skin only the the turtleneck like my dick is like uncircumcised
so the wind flap would just hang out of the hole the dick would go in like a turtle you could see
yeah i mean when you do coke and shit but when i was 36 straight dick i'd give you for 10 minutes
without even looking to flip you over smack your
cool your hair make you play with your monkey and put my dick in your mouth and fucking you know
all that i was lying tall that's what you're into that's what you're into so you have to have the
fucking momentum well i couldn't do a tenth of that when i was 50 a tenth of that just with with
no help with no with no help i just started having problems i was maybe 58 59 after the move
you know you stress whatever and i was i was like this is not good it doesn't happen often but it's
happened it happens
and this is i look to help and i'm not looking to fuck people i'm not looking to sling dick but
the biggest fear remember the sopranos what's the biggest fear in life but when they took that
jew and they turned to cut off his dick because there's no man on earth that wants to be on this
planet without a dick no even if you don't get pussy it's a nice option to hold your dick
wait till you fucking take your bag out from the side and empty that with a chunk of shit
that'll remind you it's kind of nice to hold your dick and see the piss flow
out of it and you know even if you get a hard-on just to bang one out and you get all dizzy and
shit that's fine i still get yelled at sometimes i and i don't even mean to if i'm staying at home
watching tv and like gym shorts my hand goes in there i'm not jerking off no me too i'm scratching
walls yeah sniffing you know i'm saying it's going deep in the nuts actually what needs work
maybe i gotta put some more soap under this crease you know i'm saying something but you
know this is things that it's happening to younger people now dude it happened to me in my
like even before like right as i met you and it was like a heaviness thing it would also was a
mental thing i think and but i will say this there have been a couple of times where like i think my
my dick knew that i wasn't supposed to be with that person like there were a couple women that
even i'm like it had been a while and i was like okay i'll do it and i'm not saying i was not
good looking at all either but there are a couple of times i think my dick was trying to save me
i think there's a chick on instagram
a black chick that is hilarious she comes on and she goes marry guys guys with relationships
are you suffering from ad this discomfort this you need a new woman you need a new piece of ass
because that's how you try if your dick is dying just go to a regular ratty strip club
and if those chicks can't get the party started which i don't want them to touch me anyway right
but if you go to a strip club to try out what i'm telling you the story i'm telling you is that i'm
quitting this glory no more rock anyway i actually in the last couple weeks i made like a decision and
i hate it but it's changed like my dick has never been better because i mean you're in love no i'm
it's not because of that well i'm done jerking off very good you can't i break i did it dude i
used there were times where i would do it off and porn destroy you yeah especially if you want
longevity a better nut no they're talking about the damages of porn now i never watch
porn in fact sergio ortega sent me the hell's angels book the one by the famous writer last week
but i thought the book you know it was a paperback everything in the in the 70s 60s was a paperback

these things yet he goes no i bought him a yard sale i go jesus christ i opened it up dog and i
almost got pregnant there was dust in there it was that base sperm i almost got mom so i was
feeling my stomach my titties but those tits from the fucking 70s women are completely different
those playboys but my point was that beside that playboy hollywood henderson i have never had that
i always feel shitty when i have to masturbate the only time it feels good is when you call a
freak and it's going to cost you money and she's on her way and you bang when i you don't call her

Anyway, I forgot all about it.
When we were in Tampa, one of my eighth grade teachers came to the fucking show, okay?
He was 80.
I haven't seen him, and he didn't act 80.
No.
He did not act 80.
He had to be, if I'm 63, he couldn't have been 17 when I was born.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, he was 80.
And he looked great.
He was sharp.
You know, I've been telling everybody about this dude for years.
People are like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah.
He was a mayor.
He was a mayor in Weehawken, and he was the eighth grade teacher.
And then at some point in the eighth grade, he got arrested and charged with all this shit.
And I lost contact with him.
But after all the doodling and the shit, I came home maybe in 91.
I was a little bit more clear.
I had done my time.
I had had a daughter.
And I asked somebody in North Bergen, like, what's going on with Wally Lindsay?
Like, he's out of jail.
Go get me his number.
Nobody had his number.
His grandfather, nobody had his fucking number.
And then one day.
Somebody texted me.
They go, we got you his number.
And I called him as I was going from North Bergen into Fairview on Kennedy Boulevard, whatever that is right there.
And I called him right from that light.
When I got the number, I was like, I'm going to call this motherfucker right now.
And when I called him, I think he was in the law office.
And he answered the phone.
He was very, ooh, Cocoa motherfucker, eighth grade, Turk Jordan.
You know, and he's like, oh, shit.
I can hear him go outside.
And he was like, how you doing?
I'm really in shock.
I'm really in shock about you calling me.
What's the problem?
I go, there ain't no problem, man.
You were a great teacher to me.
You were fucking great.
Why, I can't call you?
He didn't know nothing about comedy.
He heard I did comedy.
Do you mean 91 or 2001?
91.
93, maybe.
Because you must have just started comedy?
I thought you started comedy.
No, it was a little later.
You're right.
It was like 2000.
I came back, and I called him, and he did not know I got into comedy.
How you doing?
I didn't say nothing.
I was like, I'm just a regular comedian, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know.
And then I kept in touch with him.
Like, every three years, something would happen.
He'd call me, or I'd call him.
And then once I came here, I'd go, now I could turn this motherfucker on with him, you know.
It's great.
Because you, I would never, the way you guys were interacting, I thought you saw him every
time you went down there.
Like I said, you know, we had barrages.
We were rolling down here a couple weeks ago, we were talking about my daughter and her
school, and how the teachers, that doesn't exist no more.
What I had from that guy doesn't exist anymore.
They're the type of teachers that they knew if your mom beat your dad.
They knew if your dad was an alcoholic.
They knew if you didn't want to go home to your family.
That's who you went to.
You didn't go to your fucking guidance counselor.
You went to your eighth grade teacher, seventh grade teacher.
These guys knew everything about you.
It wasn't just, what about your books today?
You know, that shit.
It wouldn't have worked in Northbury.
It wouldn't have fucking worked.
And the people that tried doing that shit got shipped out or somebody beat them up.
And you know, that's, teachers got beat up in Horace Mann all the time.
When I was young, people would get beat the shit out of in Lincoln.
Those Lincoln dudes, you couldn't look at them wrong.
You could not look at them wrong.
Franklin had his problems.
McKinley, I saw a couple people hit teachers and shit like that.
But, dog, I saw Louis Aldebar clock Leo Gattoni in the head, almost knocked him out in the basement.
I mean, he just went up to him and said, you got to go to the office.
Boom.
He came to the show in Fort Lauderdale.
I called him the Russian.
That's the moment I said to him.
I go, tell him how you punched Mr. King in the head in the seventh grade and almost knocked him out.
Who punches a teacher in the head?
But regardless of that world, they were your friend.
You could pull them out the way out.
They would tell you to come to you.
Dog, come here.
What's going on?
You've been getting 80s all year.
Now you drop two 60s on me?
Sit down.
Close the door.
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on at home?
You need money for groceries.
It was a different animal.
You know, it was a different animal.
Coaches drove you home from CYO basketball.
One in the morning, they're driving eight kids home.
Make a right.
Make a left, coach.
You know, they drove you to your fucking mother's door.
I still remember the coach driving me one night.
He didn't play me.
He didn't play me.
And he had to sit with me now.
And I would usually start on this team.
He didn't play me, St. Michael's.
I remember him and I in the bottom, him telling me why he didn't
start me for that game.
People don't do that today.
Because your parents go down there.
How come my little Timmy's not starting?
Well, he can't dribble the fucking ball.
You know, he can't jump.
I gave him a chance.
He can't fight.
He's like that dude in full metal jacket.
He can't do nothing.
The chubby dude.
Private pile.
Private pile.
He can't do nothing.
You know.
What?
You know, they talk to you, man.
And I don't know about you.
You didn't get an F.
Right.
They pushed you.
They would even say, are you that fucking stupid?
Huh.
These kids today would melt.
But they would ask you, are you that fucking stupid?
Do you want me to put you in remedial reading?
And then they pull you aside late and go, hey, about before, I'm sorry.
Because a bigger man, bigger mistake.
You apologize.
You say, I'm sorry.
But, bro, what's going on with you?
I know you could do better than this.
I know.
You're out there on Sundays with Vinny fucking knowing all the fucking
signals and shit.
How do you not know fucking a paragraph?
Come on, man.
And that pushes you a little bit.
Okay, you see, I got something.
You just told me I got something.
I'm going to try.
I had a lot of great female teachers.
And I'm not saying anything against female teachers.
But I had a couple.
One specifically, my fourth grade teacher was like an older dude.
And I thought he was a cool.
As a guy, I don't know.
As a guy, I connected with them on a different level.
Again, some of the best teachers.
I'm not saying anything against the female teachers.
But there's not a lot of men.
There's not a lot of teachers anymore, I don't think.
At least not where I grew up.
I don't know what's going on then.
But I was fortunate enough to be around.
Listen, not every teacher is going to be good.
For every great teacher that I had, Mr. Terranova, Mr. Barone, Mr. Lovito,
Mr. fucking, you know, you had these teachers that stuck out on your mind.
That after you, when you're 25, you want to walk back to the high school.
Hey, man, I took that class because you told me to take it.
What teacher?
Doesn't want to hear that.
What coach doesn't want to hear that?
I did this because of you seven years ago.
Thank you.
Yeah.
That guy knows it's a cycle now.
I'm on to something.
I'm on.
Do you ever hear about Mr. Lee?
He lived next door to your grandpa.
Listen to me.
The biggest fucking hard-on you ever met in your life.
Crew cut and everything.
Kids had crew cuts.
One of those families, okay?
He was something.
But he was an asshole.
I went there, robbed a case of beer, and I put it in my locker,
and he came.
He goes, I'm going to open it.
I go, you open it, I'm going to have a fucking problem.
I disrespected him in the worst way ever.
Mr. Lee was not a bad guy.
He was just serious.
Joe, if you got beer in there, we can't have this.
If I got beer in here or not, none of your fucking business.
Get a warrant.
Get a warrant.
He never spoke to me again.
And I did a robbery, and I slipped my hand open.
I was broke.
Walking around Northbury, I'm like, well, let me go see Uncle Vinny.
Or Mike.
I was going to high school.
When you're a loser, where do you go?
You go to high school and see your old teacher.
Hey, how you doing?
You still got your MB brewing jacket on.
You know, you're little.
I won the Eagles championship in 73.
Yeah.
Like, you know, but you still go up there.
I would see kids up there all the time.
And I had this bandage on my hand, and I went down to the training room.
And Mr. Lee was walking by.
This is six years after our altercation.
I wasn't even in high school.
Something made him go, what's wrong with your hand?
I said, I don't know.
And I cut it last night.
And he goes, let me take a look at it.
It's still bleeding.
You know, went into the fucking room where the kids would tape you and put heat on your balls and all that shit.
When you didn't make the right defensive play in football, like if you didn't make the right defensive play in football, they would pick you up.
That's 77 and before that, we were scared to go to high school.
They would pick you up, put you in the fucking men's training room, duck you up with tape, tape you to the table and put fucking red hot on your balls and shit and leave you in there and lock the light and shit.
For one bad play?
Welcome to North Bergen.
Jesus Christ.
And it wasn't the coach.
It was the other players.
They were like, no, that can't happen again.
I don't know why the Bengay had to go on the balls.
Because that's part of it.
You remember not to fucking make that play again.
Somebody puts Bengay on your balls and tells you to pay the rent on the 1st every month, you'll have it there on the 31st.
So he asked me.
It was just me and him.
And for like six minutes, he didn't say a word.
He just took the bandage off, looked at my hand.
He goes, move your fingers.
I moved my fingers.
This one couldn't move.
And he goes, about a month ago, somebody was asking me if I ever had to treat somebody I didn't like.
I had to think about that.
And today I got the answer.
You walked in here.
And he was talking to me like a doctor, but telling me how much he hated me at the same time, which is fucking brilliant.
And after a while, I said, hey, Mr. Lee, why don't we put this behind us?
Put this behind us.
I was a fucking kid.
Yeah, it was 1978.
I was a fucking kid.
My mother had just died.
Who knows why we had this argument.
But I'm very sorry.
He gave me his number.
We went out to Hashways that day.
We left the gym, went to Hashways.
Had like an gladiatory lunch.
And for a year, I called him.
He lived right next to me.
And I would tell your grandpa, guess who's talking to me?
Mr. Lee.
And he'd go, I heard.
Like everybody was in shock that Mr. Lee was talking to me.
I called him for about a year and a half.
Then he died.
He died.
But he was a good guy.
And even that, six years, a teacher, that's not a lesson you learn in a book.
And that's the lessons we were learning early on,
that my daughter will never learn from her teachers.
You don't think she has a, like a. She's got two teachers.
She told me the other day, my daughter's on a fucking different level.
She looked me and my wife in the face the other day, and she goes, you know what?
People ask me all the time, the best white rice is Cuban white rice.
I go, what are you talking about?
She goes, Cuban white rice is better than any other white rice I've ever had in my life.
She asked my wife, my wife goes, I don't feel that way.
She asked me, I go, I'm Cuban.
I don't fucking feel that way.
She goes, no, no, no.
The Cubans make the rice a little different.
Better than Chinese, better than moms, better than everybody.
And she goes, that's why when you tell me to take me up there, I take the ride with you.
She says, you got to teach that to Puerto Rican.
She was telling me all about it Friday night at dinner.
She goes, Dad.
I talked to my teacher, the Puerto Rican one.
I asked her, isn't Cuban rice better than Puerto Rican rice?
And she's like, yeah, it is.
And Mercy's like, but you got to go up north for it.
And the lady's like, yeah.
That's amazing.
I don't know why I told you that story, but.
Because she has a connection with a teacher.
She has a connection with.
And then there's another teacher, a music teacher.
And Mercy tells her band she listens to.
And she's like, Mercy, I can't believe you listen to that again.
You know.
So at least, but everybody else, like she had a teacher that was giving her D's.
Some other teacher.
Some other teacher that won't talk to her.
You know, it's not.
Like when we left high school, we went home with a story dog.
Did you hear what happened in the third period?
Oh, my God.
Spanish guy stepped on Mr. T's shoes.
And he told him to get the spick hoopty do's off his foot.
You know.
And you fucking remembered that shit.
Yeah.
You would never cut that teacher.
That teacher never got cut.
Nobody had the audacity to cut him because it was 45 minutes.
It was 43 minutes of straight fucking laughter.
You walked in.
You sat down.
He went in the mirror, opened it, and he would comb his eyebrows and then go.
And start with that.
And then you sit down and go, attendance.
Nicky Escalise.
Boom, boom, Nicky.
Get up.
Where'd you get those shoes from?
Spider-Man.
And he.
Lee, get up.
You're still Jewish today.
Sit down.
You're fine.
You know, he would just go through the class.
He would just roast the entire list.
He would just go through the whole class.
Hey, look at you.
Where'd you get that haircut?
Looking good.
Don't come into class tomorrow if you have that haircut.
You know, put on white socks.
That was his.
He hated colored socks.
He hated colored socks, too.
Put on white socks.
It's a great way to get your attention.
And then there was a chick that had big feet.
And her name was Hohuba.
No, that's not Hohuba.
She was the only Arab.
She was the only Arab in North.
There was her and a couple Indian girls.
One of the Indian girls, they fucked her on country day.
And there was never a whatever anymore.
North Bergen High used to have a day on a Thursday.
No school.
You went behind the high school.
They had games.
Food trucks.
Not food trucks, but you know.
And you went back.
It was called field day.
And the reason why field day was canceled was Dickie Thomas.
Got caught fucking a little Hindu girl in the boys' bathroom.
Right in front of the principal's team.
Right there.
The principal's office right there.
There's two bathrooms right there.
So they canceled that.
You know, but everybody.
Right in the bathroom.
Huh?
In the bathroom.
Well, where are you going to take it?
To the four star for four seasons?
I don't know.
You're fucking 16.
You barely got a dollar from your father to eat lunch.
Where are you going to take it?
You take it to the bathroom behind the gym?
You take it to the church?
Your mother has an extra car?
Where do you fuck in those days when you're 13, 14, 15?
I have no idea.
Okay then.
Me neither.
It's not like I was having orgies every fucking day, you know.
But it's such a different world and I'm very grateful because I could tell you a bunch of shit.
I could tell you all the bullshit you guys won't hear.
But it was all these little teachers that believed in me at the end and a couple people from North Bergen that when I would get down,
it would push me through.
I had a guy from the.
I had a guy from North Bergen Project.
You know who it is.
Fucking sanitation worker in North Bergen.
And he went out of his way one night to call me and say,
Hey man, I got your number from a friend of mine.
I just want to tell you, I was watching Cold Case tonight.
You got it, kid.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
You're a fucking DPW working for North Bergen.
And he's like, brother, you got it.
I'm really proud of you.
Very proud.
And he just said some things I was like,
that's a dude from the project.
That dude never had a dime.
He worked hard all his life.
I remember that dude.
Today, I talked to his daughters because of what he said to me.
I take care of his daughters.
Yeah, I knew him for years, but he never said that to me.
He never saw me in action.
That's awesome.
So when he saw it, he just put the TV on on a Sunday night and saw it.
And the next day, he was on the phone with me.
That meant more to me.
I was a horrible actor.
But just as somebody noticed me,
but I,
I grew up with and said,
hey, man, you're on the right path.
Especially after people were talking shit about you for bad stuff.
Till today,
I fight with his daughters,
who are my nieces,
because of what that man said to me.
That's the type of,
I'm old school, dog.
I'm not going to fucking,
I don't want to hang out, you know.
You got your people,
they take care of you,
you take care of them.
That's it.
But those are the people that got me through, man.
His grandfather,
I didn't want to keep coming back here being a loser.
I told his grandfather,
when she goes,
where are you going this week?
And he'd go,
Buffalo,
that's the asshole of the world.
You know,
and I'm like,
fuck, Mr. A.
He had a fucking compliment for any date I had,
because they were all,
that's where you start in hell,
you know.
Schenectady and fucking Poughkeepsie.
And he's like,
Poughkeepsie,
you're never going to make it to Broadway.
You're reading off my tour list,
by the way.
Lee,
that was everybody's tour list that one time.
And I love it.
I'm not complaining a bit,
but it's just funny,
all the cities remind me,
like I did that last year.
I did that,
we could go back.
We could go.
Poughkeepsie was the all-time worst weekend in the country.
Am I lying to you?
I think George had to bring me fucking food one day.
Oh,
it's good now.
Dog,
listen.
Oh,
yeah.
It was a hotel and a gas station.
They didn't have like New Age,
no coconut water.
It was potato chips,
chip,
and those frozen burritos.
And they put you in the basement,
which was very nice if you were doing coke.
The windows were up here.
You didn't have to jump up and look out the window.
But it was cold down there.
And then you walk out,
because they would only book slugs like me
in January or February.
You know,
what are you doing fucking Poughkeepsie
in January or February?
You walk out,
you look,
you go to the gas station,
get a bag of Doritos,
and that's breakfast.
There's a place called the Tornado Lounge
and it's called something.
You have Seattle,
and then you have the west side of Washington.
And they call it the Tornado Lounge.
They call it the Three Cities or something.
It's one city in Oregon and two cities.
It's one of them where Idaho State was,
when I called it back.
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
It's not even that deep.
But they call it the Tri-Cities.
Okay.
It's called,
I forget the name of the thing.
Bro, when you looked it up
in the back of comedy magazines,
it was real room.
Okay.
And it booked Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
And you had to drive from Seattle about three hours.
And fucking the first time I went,
dog, that hotel,
they gave me $30.
30% off.
You didn't even want 30%.
The food was so bad.
The hamburger smelled like feet
the first time I went, bro.
Hysterical.
And I didn't have a car.
I had to like eat cereal and shit from the thing.
It was horrible.
The second time I went,
the food was horrible also.
But I met a chick
that had a thousand of those things on her back.
Tattoos?
No.
Those fucking things that come out of you.
I had one on my stomach.
Oh, hernia.
No, the fucking. What?
What do you have on your belly button?
- What are you talking about?
Dirty hernias on her back.
Oh, Lee, you're a fucking character.
Assist, what do you have?
Tags.
Oh, skin tag.
Jesus Christ.
This girl was fucking beautiful.
Came up to me.
We talked, blah, blah, blah, blah.
First night, she was there with her girlfriend.
I'm here on a weekend.
We're going to tour the Tri-Cities.
She was from some part of Idaho, but she was fucking smoking.
What skin tags, though?
I didn't know this at first.
I didn't know this until I made out with her, and I touched,
and there was like a thousand bugs on her back.
And I was like, what the fuck is that?
And listen to me.
How did you not see her back?
I swapped spit with her on the weekend.
Immediately?
You didn't see her back once?
Listen, I swapped spit with her over the weekend.
This is 1990.
This is the summer.
I'm leaving for L.A. in January, and this has to be like November.
So I meet her.
We start talking.
We exchange numbers.
We swap spit, and then I went back to Seattle,
and she went back to her hometown.
And then.
And I was talking to her one night, and I go,
I'm going to San Francisco to do a punchline opening.
I'm going to drive down one of my friends.
But he canceled, as we were talking.
And she called me back.
She goes, are you still going to go, or are you going to come meet me?
I go, well, I can't go because my car's fucked up,
and my buddy can't go because his wife.
And she goes, how about I drive you?
That's how this happened.
So I just made out with her.
Now we're in the car.
We drive six hours.
We're having a great time.
We go eat dinner.
And all of a sudden, we go back to the room.
We start making out.
Her shirt comes off, and it's 1,000 fucking tags on her back.
Listen, I'm no fucking tip-top Magoo type of motherfucker,
but I was like bugs were all over her back.
Oh, my God.
And they were getting stuck on my fingers and shit.
I'm like, no.
And she was hot.
And you kept going?
Huh?
You kept going?
The first night, I had to do what I had to do.
It's like a chick with a mustache.
You got to do what you got to do.
Was she paying for the room?
No, I paid for the room.
Okay.
Once I saw the bug, like once the bugs hit me and shit,
I stayed away.
When I picked her up, she had a couple on her ass,
and that was it for me because I want to,
if I spank that ass, one of those mushrooms are going to blow up,
and I'm going to have 1,000 fucking tags all over me on my face and my nose.
And I remember for three days, it was a week-long trip.
We did like eight different rooms, and like by night three,
she's like, she was telling me that she sucked dick.
Like, I really enjoy it and all this shit because I'm like,
that's great, but I'm going to steal your head,
and you're going to have a tag on your head,
and I'm going to lose it, so.
Oh, my God.
What possessed you?
How long have you known her?
She was sweet, very sweet.
I got a long gray with a, the tags bothered me,
and then I moved to Los Angeles, and we spoke a few times,
and she's like, I'm coming to L.A. to visit you.
I go, you better bring a double bathing suit because everybody's got,
they're back exposed here.
Those fucking dots, they'll blow up in the sun.
Oh, my God.
Fucking.
I can't even imagine what that would look like.
Lee, and I tell people all the time,
the life of comedy, man, is a trip inside a trip.
And when you realize that, when you forget about cameras and TVs,
and you just go on these road trips in places where nobody's going to watch you,
you just meet interesting people.
God just puts these people, and you can write material about them,
like, I've never told that story.
No, I've never heard of skin tags.
I just remember that story.
Like, there's something Becky said to me one night.
You have so many stories.
I go, it's comedy, Becky.
It's not my life.
Yeah.
It's the shit that I put my, you know, when you get in the car,
and you end up in Kansas City, what the fuck do you know from Kansas City?
You're from Jersey.
You're from Hudson County.
You know, I threw rocks into the ocean and mugged people.
You don't know about Kansas City or corn or grits.
You don't know nothing.
It's not till you.
You meet different people.
And you kind of wake up with different women.
You know, you wake up, dog, I woke up with a girl that was taller than I was,
hotter than fuck, and she was shooting heroin in her toes.
You know, what do you want me to do?
I ate a monkey.
We fucked a little bit with no condom.
I don't know what I got, but if I got it, fuck, I left it in Idaho.
I left it in Montana.
Yeah.
Are you going to wear a condom on the road?
Give me that dirty pussy and shit.
She was mid-shooting up as you woke up?
You opened your eyes?
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
It's the first night of a triple run.
I got an eight-week run.
In a row?
Yeah, I'm doing eight weeks in a row in a car with a chick.
Oh, shit.
With a chick.
Oh, God.
With the crazy redhead.
Okay.
And she's drinking.
I don't know what they're doing.
I'm like, listen, don't worry about nothing.
Let me just drive.
I'm putting cigarettes out.
I look around.
Her clothes are back.
They got a thousand cigarettes.
She kept telling me, how come I'm losing blouses?
Dog, even this.
You don't see this on the TV show.
I just kept smoking.
And I would throw the cigarettes.
Why would you throw it out?
She's passed out when I'm like, it smells like fire in here.
Like a week later, she's like, I don't know where my blouses are.
Did you see them?
No.
I thought your fucking blouses were at my cross-dresser.
And the first night, we left from Houston, drove all the way to Montana.
Damn.
Oregon.
It was a couple of those.
And the first night, we go to the fucking, this Montana.
Now, you and I and George, I'm telling you from my heart, I expected to do a room and
go back to my, do the show and go back to my room.
Maybe have a beer with Jody or a shot of Tawaka or whatever the fuck she was drinking that
night.
And that was my night.
Now, I get to this club and this girl is gorgeous.
She's the owner's daughter.
5'11", 5'12", 6 feet, blonde, big, beautiful, with a miniskirt on and cowboy boots.
That girl comes up.
She goes, listen, while you're here, if you need anything, I mean anything, I got you
covered.
Okay.
So, when the feature was up, I went over to her and I go, let me talk to you.
What can you get?
She goes, what do you need?
I go, for starters, some weed.
She goes, I get that.
I'll have it here in 10 minutes.
And I was embarrassed to ask her about the coke.
I'm like, fuck, I can get some coke.
She goes, I can get you some dynamite coke.
It's an eight ball.
And before I turn, she goes, I can also get you a $50 bag of heroin.
I go, fuck, I can get you some dynamite coke.
Baby's prepared.
All right, I'll see you after the show.
I gave her money for the eight ball and I gave her money for weed.
And she goes, I'll meet you back in your room.
Are you staying at this hotel?
And I go, Jody's there too, next door.
So, yeah, dog, Jody's next door.
This girl's coming over.
I'm not thinking.
I see the girl.
She's 20 years younger than me.
Nothing's going to happen.
I didn't know she shot him.
She came back to the room and I go, let's go next door to Jody's.
So, I felt better with her.
and Jody's when we took out the coke and started snorting she goes you guys mind if I pop a rig up
no go ahead so she was over there shooting heroin I gave her a little bit of coke
we were me and Jody was snorting giggling talking an hour and a half later we've got to get up at
six in the morning she leaves I give Jody a kiss I go to my room lock the door in 20 minutes the
phone rings in my room you still got coke left I'm coming back come back she called the hotel
back then I said come back it was like 2 30 so there was no sleep we did the heroin the coke
she brought back like a case of beers in the morning she looked like a model I couldn't even
tell she was doing age I just got in the car and left never talked to her again I sit here some
nights and I go what what does that woman think today does she remember
that
because I barely remember it unless I really think about it one night me and Lee were talking
outside the office I was shaking remember that night I was shaking I was just unloading on Lee
25 years of what I saw just unloading it was by your house it wasn't the office on the side it
was right by your your north Hollywood apartment we got home at 10 and we were out there till 2
just fucking smoking weed and Lee was like no Lee that's 20 years of fucking comedy
you know being at the comedy store and seeing a woman like somebody
asked me what did you really learn a lot the comedy store I go I learned a lot about comedy
but I also learned a lot about life and a lot a lot more than comedy life I saw engaged women dog
get up go to the bathroom give a guy a blowjob and go right back to that table
with the engagement guy he's like yeah this comics are funny no I saw that 10 times my wife saw it
we all saw it at the store you saw the crazy women that were coming and take their clothes off
you see how comics behave when you start doing a little bit better than they do and they start
throwing remote you have to learn a lot how to navigate yourself through that so it's a lot but
I learned a lot it just wasn't about stand-up it was about psychology human nature what makes people
what makes Nick come up to me and said hey man you got any coke and I give Nick half of what I got
and three weeks later Lee calls me and says dog I was in a meeting with Nick he was pitching a show
and I asked him if he was using you and he looked at me he goes that coke head in the meeting that's
what you live with you me people are just gonna tie you up so you learn to you get your little
groove nothing outside of that you know these are all fucking people give you shitty gigs
get there you're at the end after the mambo band you know that's what happened when your mom came
to see me and the rascals that you remember that at Caroline's yeah I followed the mambo band we
didn't get out of that till one in the fucking morning on a Wednesday night
you know and you you get the people that aren't in your corner and you learn how to
live in a habitat with them without telling them go fuck your mother but you always remember what
they did to you and one day you look at them and go hey cocksucker remember that i ain't mad at you
no more i know you tried to do this to me and that's hollywood you know i mean uh look at these
two idiots were best friends they did the tour together and when bernie mack got oceans 11
fucking whatever went behind his back and called the producers and said i could do it better and
cheaper no or harvey no the harvey harvey steve harvey no you didn't know that that's why they
all hate him now oh that's that's what a comic does you know when a comic dies
there's comedians they don't even say don't just call that club and go dog i was on the website
he got those dates let me get those dates jesus you know show class and you're like they got to
just they sold their soul to get to where they are i'm fine with that i'm fine with that but
those are the things you learn along the way you learn when people lie to you i tell you guys that
i don't know what she's gonna do but i hope that she does go to saint john viena so she comes out
with an associate because that year i'm gonna sit it down and tell you you can stay here for rent
free don't go to school but you got to do something face to face with people whether it's cars i don't
care what you make i don't care if you make no money tell me what you want a week and i'll give
it to you but you got to do that for a year to learn and comedy doesn't tell you you learn that
shit when you're in year three thank god i sold cars people are like we're coming back later
i'm gonna go get the check and all of a sudden you see him with the car driving from chevy
yeah yeah beep beep what happened you know because you believed him right and there's
your friends going hey dick you ain't leaving this lot yeah but i gotta go talk to him i'll
leave your watch leave a shoe leave something you're not leaving here leave your trade car
throw the keys up on the roof remember there was those stories in denver you know we you're not
prepared for that that's that's a hard-hitting comedy when you sit in a room and you're like
you're not prepared for that that's a hard-hitting comedy when you're like you're not prepared for that
and they pick everybody else and then they go all right that's the end of the show and you sat
there all night for three hours doesn't feel good no and i've been there doesn't fucking too yeah
it sucks you know how many times did george go with me to gigs and sea caulkers and fucking
luna park over here whatever this place was over here where i ate a bag of dicks
that's it you're not gonna be great from the fucking beginning but you just learn how to deal
with it you know when i was in my first three years if i took a bomb oh i had to go do an ounce
of coke i had to drink a case of beer it's the end of the world now i bomb like oh my god asleep
oh i still get pissed off yeah we all do for a minute or two like i'm still pissed at the
show at red bank to this day still pissed still pissed off about that show i went up there i'm
fucking thinking i was high i thought i could pull it off there's no i didn't have the comedy
thing going yet you know you learn you're gonna get burnt they offered me that date
part of red on december 26th but now i might scratch it since he canceled nothing you gotta
come in and have me next time you know what i'm saying sure
but that's what the problem with comedy is and we just got into comedy you were a fucking
editor you work by yourself look at a film what the fuck do you know about people going all right
you know come on up and then you get up there and you're like fuck i forgot to ask him about a hotel
and he goes there a hotel ain't no fucking hotel and you're like what am i gonna do now i got 55
dollars on my atm card to happen take a guess see like that's i don't have any kids i don't
want to say i disagree with you but the one thing that you said that i you said that you'd give her
money if she's living with you i actually think it'd be kind of good for her to be broke for a
year working like it as a server that's 20 years from now it's really not though i thought the
conversation would talk you just said that though no i said it as a comparison okay so what i would
like for her to do is i'm gonna go to a hotel and i'm gonna go to a hotel and i'm gonna go to a hotel
but none of that shit's gonna happen she was talking already the other day that she don't
want to go to st john's because i don't have a film program so leave me the fuck alone that's
why i'm not gonna sit here with you and argue about okay because it changes every day when you
have a child the plans change every day george every day so leave me the fuck alone i'm just
giving you an example okay what i mean i gave her money you know i'm not gonna give a million
dollars a week what do you make over there 300 if i sell the car give me 400 you know so she
doesn't feel because she ain't gonna sell no fucking cars
unless she gets really good and that animal comes out right and that's great too but i wanted to have
some type of social skills like we did george could sell a fucking ice cube to an eskimo you
really i put a gun to his head that's when you don't talk about pizza or nothing no nothing
put a gun to his head george sell that picture watch this motherfucker go and i'll tell him to
sell it for 100 he'll oversell he'll fucking drop a frame with gold liza minnelli that's
you know that's how life is you don't learn that you don't learn that you don't learn that you don't
learn that by watching tv or in college you learn that by dealing with people on a daily basis can
you imagine if you're a bookmaker could you imagine if you're a loan shark what you got to put up with
every thursday did you see what was that movie uh the irishman i gotta go my mother your mother's
died three times already yeah you don't come what time you're gonna be in the mall 12 if you're not
here i'm gonna bust your fucking head you know you hear shit that you can't even repeat when people
owe you money and that's like that dude in the pope greenwich village how come nobody keeps me
waiting when they're looking to borrow right when you look in the bar and they go show up at six
you're there 555 me me me me you're out of tension when i walk in you salute me two weeks later meet
me at six to pay me oh i gotta work overtime tonight oh my kid is sick that's i told you
six o'clock every thursday six o'clock but they dug you yeah that this is what it is and as

This shift is rooted in personal growth, especially after realizing that fear and overthinking sabotage performance.

Kreischer then paints a vivid portrait of the chaotic, immersive world of casinos—filled with laughter, drugs, and strange social dynamics—while noting how these environments contrast with the structured, often cold realities of modern life. A central theme is his deep connection to his childhood teachers, whom he remembers as mentors, protectors, and figures of authority who offered genuine care and personal insight.
