joey diaz
But he was making so much money, he couldn't fucking clean it.
It was 1984. It was too fast.
joe rogan
Wow.
joey diaz
And they fucking blew up.
Can you imagine that getting blown up in a fucking pipe bomb?
That's when you know somebody knows what they're doing.
And he didn't die right away.
The metal went up in his ass.
He stayed awake for fucking hours suffering.
joe rogan
The metal went up in his ass.
joey diaz
From the plate under the Jeep and shit.
They all have those crash plates in Colorado.
They all have those plates.
Those plates work against you when you have a bomb under your fucking car.
So the plate went right in his fucking coolie, so he was just bleeding.
That's fucking crazy when somebody kills you with a car bomb and shit.
That means you did something bad, girl.
They slice your fucking throat.
You gotta be a ghost after somebody slices your throat.
You'll never rest.
You can't rest in fucking peace.
You gotta be something.
joe rogan
You're a ghost haunting the woods forever.
joey diaz
Haunting somebody.
You're hunting Colombians.
You're hunting fucking Brian Redman.
What's up, Brian Reichel?
joe rogan
Do you believe in ghosts, Joey Diaz?
joey diaz
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
Do you really?
joey diaz
You ever seen ghosts?
Spirits.
I don't believe in...
I seen something at the comedy store.
One thing.
Not...
I didn't see the door ringing.
I didn't see nobody walking with...
Not a head-on.
I mean, I've heard a lot of stories from the comedy store.
And then I've been around people who passed spirits as a young child.
In fact, I went to see the lady when I went home last week.
joe rogan
Yeah?
Yeah.
joey diaz
When I was a kid, I'd seen her do some wild shit.
joe rogan
What'd you do?
joey diaz
When I was about eight, you know, my mother had a bar, and all these people were coming to shake her down.
You know, cops were coming.
Nice guys.
Just white guys come in.
That's part of the business, when you have a bar.
You know, somebody gets stabbed, you want the cops there first, you gotta give an envelope.
You know, and then...
After about three months, this guy started coming.
He was a Cuban guy.
He looked like Serpico.
But he would come in and break the Cubans' balls.
He went after Cubans.
He went after Cubans in 76 and 75. He went after them heavy.
And he would come into my mother's bar and insult them and fuck you motherfuckers.
I want a bigger envelope next time I come.
That type of shit.
So my dad went in there after school and he was yelling and screaming in there.
And I didn't like this fucking guy.
He was younger and he had a beard and he was a weightlifter type dude.
A couple weeks later, I go to the bar and it's all these Cuban guys.
They had a bar on 38th Street.
They had their Brindies.
These were all Cuban bookmakers that my dad knew.
My stepdad knew.
My mom knew.
Nice fucking people.
And there was this lady.
I played basketball with her kids.
The kid was a boxer.
His name was Jose Torres.
Their uncle's the fucking dude.
That's their uncle.
Who?
Jose Torres.
He's a boxing ref or something.
Big boxing official.
That's their uncle.
This is their nephew.
They're Puerto Ricans.
joe rogan
That was the guy that was a light heavyweight champion, right?
joey diaz
You know, he's something big with boxing.
This is his nephew.
I grew up with that nephew.
They were basketball players.
joe rogan
I think that's what I'm talking about.
Isn't he the one that wrote the book about Mike Tyson?
He kind of grew up with Mike Tyson and kind of like wrote a tell-all book about him.
It was kind of like, kind of shitty.
No, no, this is the ref.
Joe Torres.
joey diaz
Yeah, this is Jose Torres, the referee from the 70s.
joe rogan
I'm thinking of the wrong guy.
joey diaz
I think this guy even reffed like, he was the one that did our fight.
When they were trying to stop it.
Duran against, when they were trying to stop it.
We got to look it up.
joe rogan
Duran against who?
joey diaz
Duran against that fight when he killed the guy in the ring.
Then the guy died two weeks later, but he took his spirit away.
What's the fight we always talk about when Duran had?
joe rogan
Oh, Davey Moore.
joey diaz
Davey Moore.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
I think he had something to do there.
joe rogan
He died years later.
He died in a car accident.
joey diaz
In a car accident.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
With a fucking jack fell on top of him.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
His car got crushed.
But he, yeah, Duran took his spirit.
Yeah, that happens to guys, man.
Julio Cesar Chavez, when he fought Meldrick Taylor, there's no question about that fight.
Meldrick Taylor got his spirit taken.
Chavez took his spirit.
He hurt him bad, too, physically.
Like, he was never the same physically.
But he was also never the same psychologically.
To go through that crazy-ass war and to be boxing the fucking ears off the guy at first, then eventually the guy just slowly wears you down, slowly wears you down, and then, boom, stops you in the 12th with, like, seconds to go.
They stop the fight.
Like, that's a crazy...
Crushing blow.
Devastating blow.
You know?
To have the referee look at you when there's like, what is it, like two seconds left in the clock?
And the referee shakes him off and Chavez wins.
Like, what?
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
That's like a spirit crusher.
joey diaz
We're talking about the fucking spirit with Jose Torres.
So we were kids.
And once a month this lady would pass a fucking spirit in the house.
She was a mom.
Now this lady was a mom.
I used to watch her.
She was a mom.
She used to drive her kids around to different basketball games and shit.
Her husband and her were separated.
She wasn't a boozer.
She never really cursed.
I would go in the daytime and she would make sandwiches for you and stuff like that.
She would take the kids to church on Sunday.
So I used to watch her.
But my mother once told me, that lady passes a fucking weird spirit once a month or some shit.
And people go over there and you bring her money or gifts or whatever the fuck you bring her.
And she talks to you.
She talks to you?
Yeah, the spirit.
So one night we went over there.
Now, how long do you know me?
unidentified
A long time.
joey diaz
Look at me.
I don't fuck around.
brian redban
Look at him, Joey.
joey diaz
Shut the fuck up, Brian.
I don't fuck around, dog.
joe rogan
You don't fuck around.
joey diaz
When I talk to you like a man, I talk to you like a man.
This is fucked up, what I'm going to tell you.
I'm about 8 to 9. So this one last time I went to the bar, and he had them all up at the bar like Popeye Doyle had those people in fucking the French Connection.
Remember when he goes in, he says, everybody against the wall.
This is like the last time I went in there.
And now these fucking Cubans are pissed, and my mom's pissed.
So, like, we gotta figure something out.
Now, I knew eventually my dad was gonna shoot this guy.
I just had a funny feeling of my stepdad or somebody was gonna shoot this fucking guy.
Because he was going over his bounds.
They felt that he was abusing Cubans, which is even worse when you're Cuban.
If he was a white dude or a black dude, hey, it's part of the turf.
You're fucking Cuban.
We're gonna get your ass.
So I knew about this and I just turned the other way.
One night we go to this fucking lady's house and she's talking to these people and she's got this spirit.
I'm watching this lady.
This lady would drink fucking raw alcohol.
What's that?
What's that fucking alcohol?
unidentified
Loonshine?
joey diaz
No, the shit that people drink that's 140 proof.
unidentified
Oh.
brian redban
Everclear.
joe rogan
Everclear.
joey diaz
She would drink Everclear.
Drink it and talk to you and smoke a fucking cigar.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
joey diaz
And she was supposed to be a black African fucking slave.
But she was really a Puerto Rican woman and she'd talk to you.
And she'd drink the fucking shit.
And she was talking to my mother and she came over to me.
I was a little fucking kid, dog.
And I remember looking at her shit and my pants off.
And she took a dish.
And she showed it to my mom, it was a white dish.
And she took a fucking candle and she took the dish and she put the candle under the dish.
She took the candle, she threw it down, she showed the dish to my mother.
She said, this is what's bothering you lately.
And it was just some fucking thing.
It just looked like some candle design on the thing.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
She took the dish, she smashed it, she goes, done!
Seven days.
I went home, dog.
I never thought about this shit again.
I was eight or nine.
I had G.I. Joes.
I was trying to look at my dad's pornos.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
I don't believe this hocus pocus.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
Well, one day I get out of school and I take the bike and I go to my mother's bar.
When I get up there, they're all fucking drinking and having a good time at 3.30.
And I go, what happened?
I go, you know that fucking cop?
They shot him to pieces last night.
And they shot him up by this place, Rapido Taxi.
It was the first Cuban taxi cab company in the 70s that would deliver blowing the taxis.
All these geniuses that think they're geniuses now?
Yeah, alright.
The Cubans are doing that in the 70s in Union City.
They would go over the bridge.
You'd call from the city to deliver the Studio 54. The taxis would deliver the coke?
Come on, dawg.
This is 74, 75. And the name of the company was Rapido Taxi.
You know what Rapido means in Spanish?
joe rogan
What?
joey diaz
QUIT! Bitch!
joe rogan
Quick?
joey diaz
Rapido!
joe rogan
Quick!
Oh, yeah, quick.
joey diaz
So I took my bike, Joe Rogan.
Joe Rogan, I went up to this...
This is brilliant shit.
joe rogan
So was the taxi a real taxi company?
joey diaz
It was a real taxi company, but they delivered fucking blow.
That was the purpose.
You think they made money on a $3 toll?
They make money delivering the fucking goody good to studio.
joe rogan
So did they run a real taxi, too?
joey diaz
Real taxi.
You thought grandmothers could take it from supermarkets?
joe rogan
And then you'd go, on the way home, can you get me some coke?
joey diaz
Right.
No, no, no.
On the way home, you got to go to the city.
They just put a kilo over the city and they don't get pulled over.
You got a ride in the city.
Why are you pulling me over?
I said, I got Joe Rogan in the back.
I'm like, oh, I'm sorry.
Go right ahead.
We thought you were doing something else.
Meanwhile, there's fucking a bag of fucking blowing the truck.
joe rogan
And the cops must have been in on it too, right?
How many of the cops were in on it back then?
joey diaz
I don't fucking know.
joe rogan
It had to be some, right?
unidentified
I don't fucking know.
joey diaz
New York was a different animal then.
New York was a different fucking animal then.
New York was a different fucking animal then, but you gotta remember that it was just a taxi.
Nobody thought about that at that time.
joe rogan
Well, New York back then was monstrous.
joey diaz
That was 20 years ahead of that fucking time.
When New York sneezed, bro, everybody else caught a fucking cold.
Let's get down to it.
They're ten years behind over here, these fucking savages.
joe rogan
This is a totally different place socially than New York, that's for sure.
Right?
Don't you think?
People are more on the ball there.
There's more con artists and shit.
There's more clever people.
Don't you think?
joey diaz
There's more fucking douchebags everywhere.
brian redban
There's more stone people out here, I think.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's a lot of that.
But I think that...
I always say that there's something about the weather, man.
You don't have to deal with the weather.
You get soft.
You know?
Your brain doesn't have to think quickly because you have to survive.
You know?
When you're in Boston and it's fucking zero degrees out and you get in your car and it goes...
unidentified
I'm like...
joe rogan
And you don't have a cell phone, stupid.
There was no cell phones back then.
So what are you doing?
Oh my God, I've got to knock on someone's door so I don't freeze to death?
You've got to wake some people up because you might freeze to death.
Hey, I'm sorry, my car broke down.
Can I use your...
Dude, you've got to think quicker when you're in that kind of an environment.
In California, you know, your car breaks down and you just sleep in the car until, you know, the cops come and then the cops tell you, hey, what's going on?
Oh, my car broke down and they get you a tow truck and you're fine.
You don't have to worry about dying outside.
unidentified
You know?
joe rogan
Living in Boston, you gotta worry about dying.
That's like some real shit.
And that's why they're a little quicker, a little quicker on the take.
brian redban
That sound that you made for doing the car, I was just imagining that's what it sounded like when Joey Diaz had sex.
joe rogan
Do you think so?
Joey Diaz had sex.
brian redban
What's it sound like when you have sex?
unidentified
It's more like this.
joe rogan
I told you I was good dick.
Did I tell you I'm giving you good dick?
I'm giving you good dick.
joey diaz
Don't get me started, Red Band.
I'll have you-know-who here in 20 minutes, bitch-slapping motherfuckers, you know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Who you have here?
What the fuck is the plan?
What's plan B? I don't know.
Do you know who?
joey diaz
He knows who!
brian redban
So, my dog Twixie Vixen got raped again.
joe rogan
By a girl dog this time.
brian redban
By a girl dog.
joe rogan
Your dog is such a whore.
brian redban
The person was like...
joe rogan
I gotta pee while you tell this story.
brian redban
The person I was with, Joey...
Everyone's with me because of my Twixie Vixen story.
So, the person I was with that owned the dog, they were like, my dog has never, A, humped anything, and B, my dog is a girl dog, so I don't even know why it's trying to hump your dog's ass because it doesn't have a dick.
So, Joey, what do you think about RSS feeds?
joey diaz
I have no idea what they even fucking own.
brian redban
Here, put up the mic.
unidentified
You don't know anything about computers?
brian redban
Well, they're designed to pump out a, like if you have a website, it's designed only for, or mostly for sending out your website so other applications and other websites can add it to their website and their applications.
But if you don't want to do that, you don't have an RSS feed.
So I could see you wouldn't want an RSS feed.
joey diaz
Talk to me about something I fucking need.
You know what I'm saying?
Like...
brian redban
Oh, is that real?
joey diaz
That's real, bitch.
brian redban
See, now...
joey diaz
That's why you agitate me.
Don't talk to me.
Look at your boys walking right into the front of the fucking booth.
unidentified
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
I had to pee.
I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
I apologize.
I was working on that video game all day today.
brian redban
It smells like gyros.
joe rogan
I can't even spell it.
I was working on that UFC video game today, and I drink tea when I work on that show.
The video game is like a script, and I have to pretend that fights are going on.
So it's like for hours and hours and hours, you're talking at that really intense, fast, and your voice gets really tired.
So I had to drink a lot of tea.
So I could not hold in my urine.
So, what you were saying before I left so rudely is that your dog's a whore.
Such a whore that lesbians are raping your dog.
brian redban
No, yeah, exactly.
And like, do all dogs have just the intuition to get on top of another dog and hump it, even if they don't have a dick?
Because it doesn't make sense.
joe rogan
No, it does.
My dog used to do that.
She was a female pit bull, and I had a male pit bull that was a puppy, and she used to get on top of him and hump him.
brian redban
Just like rubbing pussies and stuff.
joe rogan
No, no, it's a dominant thing.
What she's doing is saying that if I wanted to fuck you in the ass, I could.
I can get to the position where I'm on top of you, I'm stronger than you.
They jockey for position.
It's a social thing.
For a dog to be able to get on top of you and dry hump you, it's not just that he's horny, it's also that he's trying to let you know he can do that.
He can impose himself on you.
Like, my two dogs, they have very clear rules.
Like, Johnny's a Mastiff.
He's a big fucking dog.
And, you know, he's got this giant fucking head, and he's a sweet heart of a dog.
But the other dog's a bulldog, Shibu Inu Bix, and the other dog doesn't get no say in shit.
That's just the way it is.
They don't fight.
They don't argue.
But when I open up the door, Johnny walks in first every time.
Every time.
The other dog will stop, and he'll let Johnny go through first.
Why?
Because Johnny's a 140-pound Mastiff.
He's fucking huge.
So there's just clear rules.
If Johnny wanted to hump Brutus, he could get away with it.
But if Brutus tried to hump Johnny, there would be chaos.
It would be like, what the fuck?
Brutus probably would growl and snap at Johnny if Johnny tried to hump him.
But the point is, the other way is absolutely preposterous.
It's never going to happen.
With animals, there's an alpha, and then there's the ones who give in to the alpha.
And your dog clearly is like the most beta dog ever.
brian redban
I know.
It's all the Hedanami dog food that we give her.
joe rogan
Is that what it is?
brian redban
Hedanami dog food.
joe rogan
So I guess the way it works is that they just feel her submissiveness and they want to mount her.
Their instinct is to mount her and dominate her.
brian redban
The old dog I used to have was always a bad dog and every time it was bad, I would...
Just, like, kind of put her in between my legs and my arm and kind of get in, like, a crouching position.
And kind of just, like, put her in between me and, like, hold her.
And so I was kind of, like, on top of her.
I wasn't, like, fucking her or anything.
joe rogan
Right.
brian redban
You know, she was just, like, underneath my belly.
Like a little cave I would make.
I would just sit there for, like, ten minutes.
And you could tell the dog at first was trying to get out.
And then finally just kind of submissives.
Or, you know, just kind of lays down.
And then gives up.
Dog is just fine.
You know, just walks around.
Weird.
joe rogan
I don't think you're supposed to do that.
I think you fucked up your dog's head.
You raped your dog every time it shit on the carpet.
Every time it shits on the carpet, you rape it.
brian redban
Well, no, no.
It's something I learned kind of from Caesar.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
Is that what Caesar does?
He fucks the dogs?
brian redban
Yeah, after showtime.
joe rogan
That's it.
brian redban
After Night Showtime version of it.
joe rogan
That's the secret.
That probably would be the best way to do it.
brian redban
Well, he didn't say it like that.
He said that you should grab it by the back of the neck and hold it down for a while.
But that's pretty much what I was doing.
I was pretty much getting on top of it and just kind of getting, like, yo, I am the master here.
joe rogan
The whole dog thing is crazy, man.
You have these animals that listen to you.
Like, what the fuck?
What's wrong with us?
There's not another animal that keeps animals that they love.
Right.
It's weird.
And we've got them engineered to be like the sweetest, nicest things ever.
I mean, look at your dog, dude.
Your dog is ridiculously affectionate.
I've never seen a dog that, not just affectionate, but so needy.
To her, it's like every breath, like taking a breath, she needs that much attention.
It's like as much as she's breathing, she needs someone touching her.
As much as she needs to take in the air, she needs someone to touch her.
It's like that extreme.
brian redban
It's like a stripper or something.
joe rogan
Way worse.
brian redban
Way worse.
Is there any animal that has pubic hair?
I was thinking the other day, I was like, wouldn't it be cool if, like, animals had pubic hairs?
And, like, you could, like, trim them, or you could just get a full bush, you know?
Like, if your cat just had a...
joe rogan
Well, the animal would have to have nothing else around it.
I mean, they have pubic hair over their whole fucking body.
That's basically what's going on.
brian redban
Yeah.
Kind of.
joe rogan
Sure.
brian redban
But, I mean, like, even, like, bald eagles.
If bald eagles have bushes, those are feathers.
But, I mean, like, why don't they have...
joe rogan
The fuck are you talking about, dude?
brian redban
Like, bald eagles have penises, right?
joe rogan
Yes.
brian redban
Why are humans the only ones that have pubic hairs?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because we don't have hair on the rest of our body.
There's very few animals that have exposed skin.
Very few animals that have exposed skin.
That ain't shit, dude.
If you were a coyote, I would take you to the vet.
I'd be like, this poor thing is dying.
All its hair is missing.
What you think is hairy is only hairy to a hairless person.
I'm covered in hair, too.
You're hairless.
You have a little hair compared to the other hairless folks.
brian redban
Why don't monkeys have huge bushes?
joe rogan
They do, man.
They have pubic hairs.
They don't get long and crazy like ours because they just have different kind of hair.
But they have hair around their dick and balls.
The fuck is wrong with you, son?
You gotta do some research before you come up with these crazy pubic hair theories.
I mean, they don't have bushes like we do.
brian redban
That's what I'm talking about.
Why do we only have the bush?
joe rogan
Because we don't have it anywhere else.
brian redban
Joey?
joe rogan
It would be weird if animals...
I mean, the only animal that's like us that has hair in certain parts of his body is some dogs.
brian redban
I just wish all animals had pubic hair.
joe rogan
Why?
Why do you give a fuck about animal pubic hair?
Is people worried about people dying of radiation poisoning in Japan?
And fucking, why are we in Libya?
The CIA's involved in our life.
I'm worried about animals.
brian redban
They should have pubic hair.
Do you think PETA would exist if animals had pubic hairs?
joey diaz
Brian, don't make me get Bill Burr here to fucking hit you to have a fucking computer.
unidentified
Bill Burr's gonna fuck you in the ass with his laptop.
joey diaz
He's trading with fucking Brock Lesnar right now.
joe rogan
He's coming to get you.
Get into the microphone, bro.
joey diaz
Me, I'm right here.
unidentified
I'm all right.
joey diaz
I'm straight.
My voice is fucking too big.
I'll blow the speakers up.
Don't make me call Brock Lesnar.
unidentified
I got your back, dog.
joey diaz
All right, all right.
What's going on?
joe rogan
Bill Burrow did a video where he fucking talked about the thing.
There's a video on YouTube, so he's made it six minutes long.
He talked about the argument on his own for another six minutes.
And at the end of it, he goes, yeah, and I was right.
That's the point.
brian redban
That guy is fucking wrong.
joe rogan
He doesn't know about computers, and they're trying to rip you off and take the money for the artist.
They never have money for the artist.
Fucking RSS feeds...
brian redban
You know what the thing that bugged me the most?
joe rogan
Six minutes.
Six minutes you're talking about it.
brian redban
This is the thing that bugged me the most.
I've met him like four times, five times before, right?
He even did...
We did a comedy show the following night.
Or that night.
That night.
We did a comedy show.
joe rogan
Or no, it was the following night.
brian redban
The following night.
And I was like the host of the show and I'm like, he knew that I'm a comic also.
He knows who I am, right?
And if he's not, he's fucking whatever.
So on the beginning of the video, he goes...
unidentified
Yeah, so there's that guy, the little guy, whatever, the male assistant guy, the guy that turns the knobs.
joe rogan
Joe Rogan's fucking male assistant or something over there?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
This guy, whatever the fuck he is.
brian redban
Hey, give me a gyro.
unidentified
Come on.
brian redban
But fuck, the thing that What bugs me the most is, and I was pretty baked when that argument happened, but the thing that bugged me the most about everything was my whole thing wasn't that I'm like, yeah, what Stitcher's doing is 100% legal.
No, what I was saying is, if you have something on your website that you put on your website, that is only put on your website if you want to broadcast your stuff.
If you don't want that, then take it off your website.
It doesn't change anything.
My whole argument is like, why do you have an RSS feed on your website?
unidentified
Why?
brian redban
Why did you put it on there?
joe rogan
Are we really having this conversation?
What are you doing?
brian redban
No, but I mean...
Yeah, but my argument that I'm just saying...
joe rogan
I know what your argument was!
brian redban
You brought it up!
unidentified
Here we go again.
No, no, no.
joe rogan
I know what his argument is.
I know what your argument is.
I'm aware of the general details of the disagreement.
brian redban
I know, but what I'm saying is that's not a wrong or right thing.
That's just a question, actually.
unidentified
I don't care.
joe rogan
I don't care anymore.
I don't care anymore.
What's way more fascinating to me is how involved you two got.
That was way more fascinating.
brian redban
When you're getting attacked and you're just trying to explain RSSP to somebody.
joe rogan
The actual issue was minuscule compared to how psychologically captivating it was and how he was genuinely getting upset and you were getting upset too.
And I was trying to mediate because I genuinely did see both sides.
I genuinely did.
But what I couldn't understand is how you guys were getting so goddamn upset.
And then when I would bring it up, people would go, oh, this is the fucking new spa Joe Rogan.
The Joe Rogan from 1994 would have fucking stabbed somebody by now.
We didn't even know each other back then, man.
You're just assuming.
You're assuming I would have done that.
brian redban
Well, you know what?
It was just, to me, it was like, I've already said the same thing five times.
I can't say anything else about that.
joe rogan
I couldn't get you guys to stop.
It was fascinating.
You were like two dogs.
unidentified
Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk.
joe rogan
Shut up.
unidentified
Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk.
brian redban
Stop barking.
And there also comes to a point where you feel like you're talking to your mom doing email.
That's how I get about certain things.
joe rogan
Well, you must have saw his point a little bit.
brian redban
No, I see what he's saying, but that's not what I'm saying.
I'm not saying I agree with him or disagree with him on that.
joe rogan
He wasn't willing to listen to what you were saying about the whole concept of an RSS feed, which stands for really simple syndication.
brian redban
Right.
And what's syndication mean?
You want to syndicate.
What's that mean?
joe rogan
You want to spread it out to as many people as possible.
brian redban
Absolutely.
joe rogan
So you make it available on your website.
brian redban
Absolutely.
joe rogan
But the real problem was...
brian redban
The real problem is iTunes numbers, and that's what he really wants to say, is that Stitcher was hurting his iTunes numbers, and probably that he doesn't know why it's on his website.
If he wants people to go to his website, take off your RSS feed.
That's all you have to do.
Don't make your RSS feed public.
Just give it to iTunes only, hide your RSS feed, and then everyone will come to your website, and you'll have your iTunes only.
joe rogan
Well, we do one better than that.
We allow people to download it, not just on Stitcher, but I allow people to download it directly.
So the moment it goes live, I have a download link.
So I don't want you to have to wait just so my iTunes numbers will be higher.
To me, all that matters is that you get it out there.
You don't get cookies for being number three or number four.
You know, it's cute.
It's nice to see the number.
But what's important to me is just that it gets distributed to as many people as possible as easily as possible.
Some people don't like fucking with iTunes.
There's some dudes who love the Zune, you know?
brian redban
I heard the new Zune's pretty badass.
joe rogan
I think they stopped making them, bro.
brian redban
Oh, did they?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
I lied out of my ass.
joe rogan
I mean, there's some people that have just little MP3 players, those little Flash MP3 players.
You know what I mean?
You gotta have it available for everything and anybody.
brian redban
You know?
joe rogan
Droids and iPhones.
brian redban
Especially when it's a free thing that you just want to get out your podcast to people.
You're not doing like Doug Benson where you're charging money.
You're just trying to get your podcast to people.
joe rogan
Are you just calling out Doug Benson?
I can't believe you, dude.
brian redban
The honest thing is the future of podcasts.
How are podcasters going to make money?
What Doug is doing is pretty interesting.
He's charging money now for certain shows.
I don't think it's every show.
I think he has certain shows.
joe rogan
I think Maren does that too.
He's like, Something where you become like some super member or some shit.
brian redban
Right.
I mean, I honestly think the only way really to make money is to get sponsors, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the way.
You've got to get a lot of listeners and get sponsors.
That's the way to do it.
brian redban
Right.
I agree.
Because I think we've just reached this time on the internet.
We have to look at the music industry.
We have to see, look, the music industry has changed.
It's not that people started stealing and taking shit from the music industry.
It's that that happened.
And there was no way to stop that.
So the music industry has to reorganize, refigure out how they do it.
And that's going to happen with everything.
And you can't fucking stop it.
You just got to go with what you think is going to happen.
And that's like podcasting.
No one knows what's happening with podcasting.
But you have to pretty much go with what you can do right now.
joe rogan
Well, we also have the luxury of doing other things.
I have the luxury of not having to rely completely on my podcast with the UFC and with doing stand-up.
Especially with doing stand-up.
Because the podcast definitely enhances the stand-up.
brian redban
Insanely, and also just look at Philly.
I mean, Philly, you just sold out all of Philly, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's sold out.
It's two weeks from now.
brian redban
I mean, when was the last time that happened?
joe rogan
It wasn't happening like that before.
brian redban
It's like that everywhere now.
joe rogan
Yeah, Seattle last weekend was fucking crazy, man.
1,800 people.
And when I asked them, I'm like, how many of you guys listen to the podcast?
It was like the whole crowd.
It was 100% of the crowd.
Do you get that now?
Joey, I get people yelling out, dude, Joe Diaz impressions.
joey diaz
Marketing has changed completely.
And with music, what's really going on with music is that they had to give it away.
So now you make money performing.
But these bitches can't perform.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's a lot of them that are faking it.
joey diaz
Sorry, they can't perform.
joe rogan
That's what happened to music.
joey diaz
Music got real, bitch.
joe rogan
Auto-tune over their voice and shit.
joey diaz
You know, the Allman Brothers could show up with three white guys and fucking rock it.
So could Lennon Skinner.
There's new bands that can't do it.
The all-getting shit don't come through that good.
That shit don't come through that good.
I want to go see fucking the Black Eyed Peas to sing songs.
Four fucking people to sing one fucking song.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Boom, boom, boom.
Really?
80 fucking dollars for the worst ticket to see that nonsense?
There's no musicians, dawg.
joe rogan
There's not that many.
The Black Keys are pretty fucking badass.
unidentified
So they can't do nothing.
joe rogan
You ever listen to the Black Keys?
joey diaz
Yeah, but they can't do nothing.
brian redban
I fucking love the Black Keys.
Seriously, I can't get enough.
Like, anything they do, I fucking love.
joe rogan
They're the shit.
They're on the right frequency.
They're on the real frequency.
joey diaz
Well, they're real musicians.
Listen, the king of the musicians right now is the guy Dave Groh.
There's no better musician that's lived it, spit it, and his band.
The band, the Foo Fighters, they're as bad as they're students of the fucking game.
Prince went to Vegas two years ago and did a show of requests.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
Can you imagine anything you hit Prince with?
He's gonna play.
From Willie Nelson to fucking Billy Idol.
joe rogan
So people yell it out in the crowd and he would just do it?
joey diaz
500 a ticket.
joe rogan
God damn!
joey diaz
Come and yell, bitch!
Errol Smith and people are going.
Performers at the end started flying out there just because I want to get on stage.
This motherfucker's going, what do you want to hear?
Come together, the Beatles.
Ready?
One, two, three, four.
That's why he was getting a nickel or fucking ticket or whatever he was getting.
These tickets are outrageous now for these bands to go on the road.
joe rogan
Prince is the real deal.
He's a real musical genius, you know?
He put out a lot of bad songs, unfortunately.
There's a lot of his songs that are just...
joey diaz
Listen, bro.
He was experimenting with everything in the world.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he still...
joey diaz
They were sucking his dick and he was getting an idea.
Oh, he had some great jams, bro.
joe rogan
Jams.
I mean, he took chances.
So some of them didn't come out.
joey diaz
A lot of them were chances.
joe rogan
And some of them, he's very self-indulgent, so his style is, you know...
And sometimes he gets caught up in what he's doing, but when he hit it...
Erotic City?
Come on, son.
Come on.
Come on, son.
That's a great goddamn song.
That was my...
During high school, they were trying to get that as our high school senior song, Erotic City.
It was a write-in.
So we were all trying to organize it, and then someone listened to it.
Someone who worked for the school listened to it.
unidentified
That was the end of that.
joey diaz
Oh, it's fucking amazing.
He's done some great shit, and that's what's really going on now.
So everybody's adopted to this ship.
joe rogan
All of my hang-ups are gone.
joey diaz
But it's amazing that somebody told me this two years ago, and I really experienced it last year in Irvine.
Last year in Irvine was when I seen the fruition of what you've been doing.
Somebody told me that now, because of the internet and Twitter and all the podcasts, that people want the full experience.
And I didn't really see it until last July.
If you notice, last July is when I changed everything about my Twitter.
My Facebook.
I changed everything about it because I paid more attention to it.
joe rogan
How come?
joey diaz
I understand now where you were coming from.
There's no more...
I see what Ralphie Mae's doing.
I see what you're doing.
He's wasting his fucking time when he flies into a city a week before two days to do radio.
That's a waste of time.
That's old hat.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's old school.
joey diaz
You're staying at home.
joe rogan
You don't have to do...
joey diaz
The thing about this game is to make the most money for the least amount of work.
That's why I don't like flying the next thing.
joe rogan
Well, it's not just that.
It's not just that.
joey diaz
But that's your time.
joe rogan
Communicate with as many people as you can.
joey diaz
But you have a wife.
You have children.
I don't want you in Nebraska on a Monday doing some radio show for what?
joe rogan
Well, I never did that anyway.
joey diaz
No, I understand.
joe rogan
I would never do it.
joey diaz
Look what you do with a blink of a fucking button.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
You added an extra show in Australia three weeks ago with a blink of a button.
joe rogan
Yeah, in a couple hours.
joey diaz
A couple hours.
joe rogan
Yeah, we put together a show on a Thursday night or whatever the fuck it was.
joey diaz
And I've seen the fruition of it.
You've been talking about it for years.
It all came fruition with the podcast, the blog, the Twitter.
I've become an expert now at the Twitters.
I know how to do it more.
You've got to give them something and then tweet something.
Give him something.
Not every fucking stupid joke that comes out of your fucking mind.
If you're a monologist, you're going to die on Twitter.
Because you've got to sell the fucking joke.
If you're going to make a mind joke on Twitter, it's not going to go nowhere sometimes.
If you talk about your situation on Twitter, and then talk about a free show or a show, and then your situation, it's different.
I answer every fucking body on Twitter.
I try to fuck with people on Twitter.
You know, my Twitter is a lot...
On Facebook, I got more Christians.
I got nephews on there.
Nieces.
I can't...
You know, I still throw out the blunt of life.
You know what I mean?
I don't give a fuck.
Get over it, bitch.
joe rogan
Every now and then, you hit them with it?
joey diaz
I gotta hit them with something every morning, just to wake the morning up.
joe rogan
And they gotta look at your shit, little 13-year-old.
joey diaz
And they go ask their mother...
joe rogan
Look what Uncle Joey wrote on his Twitter today, Mommy.
joey diaz
Uncle Joey?
joe rogan
You ain't high by two in the afternoon.
Go fuck yourself.
joey diaz
That's the truth, dog.
joe rogan
Those t-shirts, by the way, folks, they're being printed right now.
If you ain't high by 2 in the afternoon, go fuck yourself.
joey diaz
Ari Sofia told me yesterday that even if he didn't know Joe Diaz, he would still buy one because this shirt is that cool.
joe rogan
It's so strong.
joey diaz
It's so strong.
joe rogan
Have you seen the photo?
joey diaz
Yeah, I've seen the photo.
joe rogan
It's such a strong shirt.
unidentified
So strong.
joey diaz
And the saying is so strong.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
The whole thing behind it.
joe rogan
When you said it, we repeated it like four times because it was so funny.
joey diaz
And it was the weirdest thing because the guy, and I'm going to tell the story now, the guy who was smoking would have won an Oscar.
For fucking 3D and shit for Star Wars.
His name is Dykstra.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah?
joey diaz
And I did Spider-Man 2, and Dykstra was the guy in charge of all the fucking crazy 3D guy.
joe rogan
The special effects.
joey diaz
The special effects.
His name is Dykstra.
joe rogan
Not 3D. Whatever it was.
joey diaz
Yeah, CGI. And he's a genius.
He's a fucking genius when you talk to him.
And he has a little daughter.
If you watch Spider-Man 2, after I stick up for Spider-Man, there's a little girl on the train that says, me too.
That's his daughter.
And his daughter was telling everybody on the train to suck her dick when she was 12. Suck my dick, though.
That's my father.
Shut up.
Sit down.
Fuck you.
But the only one she dug was me, because I would give it to her.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, what's up?
Sit down.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Joey Bananas?
So Ramey, I was so big that they wouldn't put me on the train.
They'd just go check in.
So I'd come into Spider-Man, I'd check in, and then I'd go eat and go to my room.
They'd put me in a room, not even in a trailer.
So I would go to my room and smoke pot.
I told you about this.
I'd go get Ramey.
I'd go, Ramey!
Somebody keeps smoking dope in my room.
You better get to the bottom of this.
He would go, Joey, I don't know.
And it was me the whole time.
So one day, Dykes, you're figuring it out.
He goes, there's nobody smoking dope in your room.
You think you're getting over on him?
It's fucking me.
Where is it?
joe rogan
Oh, that's hilarious.
joey diaz
I go, it's behind the building.
So we go behind the building.
Like, one day, we're smoking.
We go behind the building again.
The one day, we're smoking.
The third day comes.
Some fucking PA comes.
You know how they get sometimes.
She's like an older woman, like 42. She came back and she's seen us and she goes, whatever, they're looking for you.
Are you smoking pot?
What's wrong with you?
And I sat like for a minute.
I got all like, there is something wrong with me.
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
If you were fucking high, you wouldn't be worried about us not smoking high.
It was like 10, 15 in the morning.
That's what she meant to say.
It's 10 o'clock in the morning.
How the hell can you be smoking pot?
Are you really smoking pot?
joe rogan
Why wouldn't you?
joey diaz
And that's where we came up with that thing from.
What's wrong with you?
What the fuck is wrong with me?
What's wrong with you, bitch?
You ain't high.
That's the fucking problem.
If you were high, you wouldn't worry about me smoking dope.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a weird thing where people want to stop you from doing something because they think it's an indulgence, you know?
That you're being weak.
You're indulging, you know?
joey diaz
My wife said to me two days ago, she goes, you know what the funny thing is?
At 5.30 in the morning, I didn't hear the alarm go off, but I heard you do a long bong hit.
That's what you know.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
joey diaz
My wife told me Tuesday morning, she goes, you know, I didn't hear the alarm, but I definitely heard your bong hit.
joe rogan
You got a bong in the bedroom?
joey diaz
I got a bong in the office.
joe rogan
In the office.
So you step off into the office and fire it up?
joey diaz
Oh, when I get up, I brush my teeth, I piss, I put the coffee on, I feed the cats, and I go right for that.
I pray for ten minutes.
joe rogan
You wake and bake like a motherfucker.
joey diaz
Not right.
I used to wake and bake.
That fucks up your whole day.
joe rogan
Now you wait five minutes?
joey diaz
I gotta eat a little oatmeal to balance out the body.
I eat a little cantaloupe to balance out the pH to get the fucking bowels moving.
joe rogan
Cantaloupe?
brian redban
I think it does fuck me up if you shake and bake.
joey diaz
It fucks me up the whole day.
brian redban
Once you smoke weed, you're pretty much not the same for the rest of the day.
joey diaz
I've done it a thousand times.
I'm the king of it.
I ain't gonna lie to you.
But by 11 o'clock, you're like, I fucked up.
When you call the doctor's office, you're like, that ain't gonna happen.
joe rogan
How many days do you take off on a regular from weed?
joey diaz
What take off?
joe rogan
You never take any days off?
joey diaz
Fuck, for what?
I took off when I went to prison.
That was long enough.
Eight fucking months without smoking weed.
I had to pop acid and fucking sneak it around.
brian redban
So you're addicted to it?
joey diaz
I'm not addicted to it.
I just can't.
I'm ahead, dog.
I'm the real deal.
unidentified
I'm the real deal.
joey diaz
I'm ahead.
I like to smoke dope.
That's my bag.
Some people are alcoholics.
Some people like to drink.
I can't imagine a life without weed.
brian redban
I've been smoking since I was 14. Have you ever thought maybe because you can't imagine it because you don't remember it?
joey diaz
No, I can't imagine it.
No, first of all, Red Band.
I'm the real fucking deal.
I remember everything.
brian redban
I know you're the real deal.
joey diaz
So...
I just like smoking weed.
The type of person I grew up with when I went to Colorado, I was around a lot of heads.
They like weed.
They enjoy weed.
When I got home yesterday and I seen that thing was 31%, I tweeted it, and 10 people got back to me that said, go drive up from San Diego.
That's a head.
That's not a kid that says, oh my god, I got the, what's the name of that word?
Pineapple Express!
No.
There's certain weed that's got a name that you just smoke it to be cool.
Then there's this shit.
joe rogan
What's this stuff again called?
It's called Matt's Number One OG. Matt's Number One OG. Is Matt like some famous grower or something?
joey diaz
No, no, no.
Matt is the guy that owns Cushmart.
So when he took over Cushmart, he bought that brand and wanted it to grow for him.
joe rogan
And this is a hybrid?
joey diaz
It's a hybrid.
And then he's got the Snoop Dogg that's at 28%.
joe rogan
This stuff might be the perfect weed.
It might be the greatest weed ever.
joey diaz
I smoked it, and I realized when I smoked it the other day, I've been going to ANOCC, and I've been buying $50 fucking 8s.
And I realized that the pot was good, and some days when I buy a gram, like by 6 o'clock, half the gram is gone.
I'm smoking too much pot.
I'm in a bomb.
That's too much.
When I hit weed, and I remember that, how I started this diet was with Matt's OG. When you smoked it in the morning, the sativa would take over your mind so quickly that I had to get out of the house before my head blew up.
And I would have to get on a bike.
And I would just get on the bike and pedal because I thought there was somebody chasing me.
And that's how I lost 100 fucking pounds on that bike smoking the Max OG. Because the sativa wouldn't speed you up by cocaine.
It speeds you up and it'd control you.
And it went from being a sativa into methodically like an indica.
It was the weirdest thing.
joe rogan
People don't understand that sativa actually makes you ambitious.
People who look at pot and look at potheads being unambitious and lazy, sativa makes me way more ambitious.
It makes me aware of the consequences of not working as hard as you can and how you feel.
It makes me super sensitive to my own actions, positive or negative.
So it makes me super sensitive to doing things that I should be doing as far as getting work done, as far as writing and performing.
You know, and doing podcasts.
I don't ever cancel podcasts, man.
You know, I'd have to be sick as fuck, and I don't get sick very often.
So we do them, you know?
It's like sativa makes me, you know, hyper-aware.
And when I'm hyper-aware, I'm more diligent, you know?
So I think it makes me more ambitious.
brian redban
But do you guys think if you wanted to take a month off, do you think you could easily do it?
joe rogan
Sure, I've done that.
I haven't taken a month off, but I've taken weeks off.
joey diaz
I could take a couple days off, but why?
brian redban
Just to see if we can do it.
joey diaz
I don't see the fucking...
What is this, fear factor?
brian redban
Here's the purpose.
joey diaz
I've tried.
I've thought about it, and I've said, for what?
brian redban
You smoke a shitload of weed, you have to be spending a shitload of money.
unidentified
Let me tell you something.
joey diaz
I smoke a shitload of weed, and the people around me smoke a shitload of weed.
brian redban
I get it, dawg.
joey diaz
It's really weird that the people around me are into it like I'm into it, like the tight people around me.
joe rogan
Well, we all have fun together, and what people don't understand about marijuana is that they think it's some sort of an escape.
It's an enhancement.
It's not an escape.
We're living in the same world you're living in, man.
It's just more fun when you're high.
It's really that simple.
And it's not ruining your body.
It's bullshit.
And I'm not saying it's for you.
joey diaz
It's putting salt and pepper on your steak.
No, it may not be for you.
joe rogan
It ain't for Tate.
Tate can't smoke weed.
Stan Hope doesn't like weed.
A lot of our friends don't like weed.
That's all well and good, man.
It's fine.
brian redban
I mean, I've been smoking weed so much that I could take a couple days off.
I could take probably a week off.
I've probably taken a week off recently.
But the idea of taking a month off is so foreign to me that I almost want to do it just to see what happens.
You would just start getting douchey.
joe rogan
You'd become a Republican.
You'd start watching Bill O'Reilly.
brian redban
I have no idea.
joe rogan
He's right.
We do have to be afraid of Mexicans.
joey diaz
I haven't stopped smoking weed since 14, 15. I'll tell you what point in my life I'm in my weed career.
I can't write anymore when I get really high.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
When I get up in the morning and I get high, it's to go on Twitter and Facebook and make adjustments here and get my day ready.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
But now when I write, I try to be a little straighter.
unidentified
Really?
joey diaz
When I work out, I gotta blaze, dog.
If I can get an edible, I gotta get an edible on me.
I love working out stoned.
That is my life.
That was how I did it 30 years ago.
unidentified
It feels great.
joey diaz
I love not remembering what set it is.
And I know my shoulder's on fire!
You know what I'm saying?
I love the fact that if I don't get high, I'll still work out an hour.
And I'll still do a good job.
But if I get high, I'll work out an hour 40. It's just a little tighter.
I'll concentrate on my kicks.
I'll concentrate on the form.
joe rogan
Yeah, I know what you mean.
joey diaz
I try to do everything.
joe rogan
When I kick the bag when I'm high, usually I don't.
joey diaz
Oh, what a great feeling.
joe rogan
Usually I don't.
joey diaz
Usually I do it sober.
Oh, yeah, I kick the pole holding the bag by mistake.
unidentified
I won't do it.
Oh, yeah.
A left roundhouse with the fucking ankle around the pole.
Clang.
joey diaz
But I like getting on the bike stone because I don't think about it.
I like getting on the elliptical stone.
The elliptical stone.
It's a fucking different world.
joe rogan
You know how many people roll stoned jiu-jitsu?
joey diaz
Oh, you have to.
joe rogan
Everybody does.
joey diaz
No, no, no.
joe rogan
Especially Eddie's classes.
Eddie's classes, like, you walk in that room, you smell reefer.
Everyone smells like reefer.
There's like half of his fucking students are high as fuck when they take a class.
joey diaz
You eat a piece of banana cake and you go to yoga.
joe rogan
Oh!
joey diaz
God, my!
joe rogan
My God!
McKenna used to say that that's what yoga was invented for.
What yoga was invented for was maximizing cannabis.
These people would be eating cannabis, and when they were eating it, they realized how good it felt when you hold your body in certain positions when you're high.
joey diaz
You have no fucking idea.
joe rogan
So they came up with this connection to spirituality through eating cannabis and holding these poses, these difficult poses.
joey diaz
Fucking amazing.
joe rogan
Yeah, because something, I don't know what it is about the energy of the pose that makes you go into some state when you're high as fuck, but it really does.
Even when you're sober, man, I've done yoga sober, and after it's over, I've felt high.
joey diaz
Well, the breathing, the breathing intent, the breathing that's going through your body, you're focusing so much on the breathing.
When I go in and I eat a little piece of banana bread, because it's 8 during the morning when I've got to go to yoga.
joe rogan
Oh my goodness.
joey diaz
So I gotta start blazing at 7.30.
joe rogan
How long does it take for a banana bird to hit you?
joey diaz
20 minutes.
25 minutes.
And I kick in a little Jaffa J to get everything going.
By 10 after 9, I'm in downward dog.
I'm in fucking pigeons.
I'm in fucking...
And you think about your breathing is so beautiful when you're high.
You ever go in the water and you can hear your breathing?
Like right now.
joe rogan
Yes.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
When you do yoga, if you hear that, you've reached it.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
You've reached that level and that position.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
And with the weed, it makes it a lot easier.
For me, I'm a loser.
joe rogan
I know.
joey diaz
I ain't going to lie to you.
joe rogan
You ain't a loser.
I know what you're talking about, man.
Like I said, that's the reason why yoga may have very well been invented, according to McKenna.
He believes they invented yoga to maximize the effects of eating cannabis.
joey diaz
I've gotten high playing basketball.
I've gotten high lifting weights.
There's nothing like eating a little bit of weed and going to yoga.
Even if it's a basic class.
Just to focus on your breathing.
I do it every Tuesday like tomorrow.
I gotta rush and then go to the airport.
But I'll do it.
And I'll eat an edible in the morning.
Because I have nothing else.
And it is just fucking brilliant.
My body.
Randy Parsons, your good friend.
joe rogan
Ryan.
joey diaz
Ryan Parsons was at the gym one day at Justin's.
And there was an argument going on between trainers.
And these guys were white guys.
They weren't heads.
And the guy was saying that he's been telling all his...
Clients, if please, after their workouts, their weight workouts, to smoke a little reefer because it's anti-inflammatory and it works better than anything else, even like the lettuce and shit.
It pulls the acid out of your muscles.
joe rogan
Lettuce?
joey diaz
Like lettuce.
When you eat lettuce, it pulls the acid out of your muscles.
joe rogan
It does?
joey diaz
Something like that.
Acid does something.
Lettuce does something after you work out.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
joey diaz
Take the acid out of your muscles.
So they can recover or something.
joe rogan
Okay.
joey diaz
Well, this guy was talking about...
joe rogan
That weed does that?
Weed's an anti-inflammatory?
joey diaz
Yes.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
And that they're scared to tell people because we'll go fucking crazy.
joe rogan
Well, it kind of makes sense if it's a painkiller.
If people enjoy it for pain, it kind of makes sense that it would also be for inflammation.
joey diaz
He said it's really good for your joints to do something with...
joe rogan
Well, that's one of the reasons.
They prescribe it for arthritis.
joey diaz
Arthritis.
joe rogan
Yeah.
A lot of people that have chronic arthritis, like I've talked to people that said that they literally couldn't move and then they would smoke weed and then all of a sudden they could walk around.
Like they could function.
You know, it allowed them to be mobile.
I don't know, man.
It makes sense.
I mean, it helps a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
It's just a shame that we have to pretend that there's something wrong with it.
And people want us to think it's not a big deal.
Like, why do you guys talk about weed all the time, fucking losers?
Like, first of all, we're not losers, and don't be mean.
And second of all, it is a fucking important issue, man.
It is important.
We know ourselves how it affects us.
We know ourselves how much more aware.
Thank God you turned his mic off, right?
unidentified
He's still going to hear it.
joey diaz
He's still going to hear it.
What I wanted from weed 20 years ago is not what I want from weed today.
You wanted to escape 20 years ago.
I'm an only child, so I love living in my head, guys.
You let me get in my head, you're a dead man.
Really?
Yeah, you let me get in my head.
I'm an only child.
I'm breaking fucking down in no time.
I know what it is to be in a closet playing G.I. Joe's, making up your home world at Disneyland is outside your fucking closet.
I'm an only child.
I know how to get the party started in my fucking head.
That's why I like being alone.
Have you ever noticed that?
You give me weed and an iPod, you go fuck yourself.
Never mind 2 o'clock.
You can go fuck yourself.
I'm one of those guys.
joe rogan
Joey will vanish sometimes.
joey diaz
I could go on an island solo.
I like, I enjoy, I don't creep out in my skin.
joe rogan
Well, listen, man, that's a beautiful quality in comparison to the alternative.
The alternative is someone who needs people around them all the time and needs attention all the time.
And everybody knows how goddamn annoying that is.
joey diaz
I love...
joe rogan
It's rare that someone's as extroverted as you, but also, I guess it's just a balance.
It's a yin and yang, right?
You need that downtime, too.
joey diaz
I really enjoyed my...
I never enjoyed this throughout my life.
I always thought you had to be moving, and that's what kills people.
People don't make enough time for themselves.
And what's that?
Not a trip to Jamaica.
One hour.
joe rogan
Well, people don't make enough.
Well, it's hard.
You've got to manage your life correctly, too, to get to a position where you can enjoy things.
Because some people are just scratching every week, man.
Every week is scratching, trying to get ahead, can't get no fucking traction, trying to figure it all out.
That's a tremendous amount of stress.
joey diaz
You know, last night Ari came over and we were smoking the Matzo G. And it was ten after six or something.
And we heard this bell.
Bing, bing.
And it's the Mexican ice cream man.
And it is the best ice cream you'll ever have.
It's Dairy Queen vanilla ice cream and he makes a delicious banana split.
I've been there for a year now.
One brown spot in a banana.
Fresh mint.
And it's funny that he said to me, you get so much enjoyment from that ice cream truck.
Your life is what you make enjoyment.
I'm not filthy loaded, but I get off on that fucking ice cream man coming.
You get off on the ice cream man.
When I went to New York, I talked to Ralphie and he's in this hotel in the city and I got this and that.
unidentified
How come Ralphie doesn't use the internet?
joey diaz
Because he feels that his clientele doesn't use the internet.
joe rogan
What?
joey diaz
I don't know.
That's the answer.
joe rogan
That's the most ridiculous thing ever.
He's found the 1% of the population that isn't online.
I mean, who the fuck isn't online?
That's so silly.
joey diaz
It's just really weird.
joe rogan
Who's not online now?
joey diaz
That expression is so true.
That expression is so true.
One man's chicken is another man's gumbo.
The other night I did a show in the city and all my friends were like, let's go to Chinatown.
Let's do this.
Chinatown sucked.
That place sucked.
My place in Ridgefield Park, Chan's Dragon and still the pound for pound leader in old school Chinese food.
You gotta eat four egg rolls, shrimp and lobster sauce.
It still has the pork in it.
Old school with the noodles.
joe rogan
Old school dogs.
unidentified
Old school.
joey diaz
I've been going there since 1979 to get steak on a stick when I was a sophomore in high school.
unidentified
Steak on a stick?
brian redban
Pizza in a cup.
joey diaz
They have one of the best poo-poo platters in the nation.
joe rogan
Why is Chinese food so good on the East Coast?
Is China closer?
It is, right?
The East?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
Closer to New York?
Must be.
joey diaz
You can get great Chinese food out here, but it's not consistent.
Not everything is good.
I go to a place that the pork fried rice, you think you're in the Bronx, but don't get the shrimp and garlic sauce and lobster Cantonese.
You feel like you're eating it with a white dude named Chan.
joe rogan
Lobster Cantonese.
joey diaz
Nobody goes down.
unidentified
That's how I ordered it last week in the city out of respect.
joe rogan
Lobster Cantonese is a rare one.
You don't get that everywhere.
joey diaz
Some people gotta eat pasta rails.
You and I both know you take a little train to fucking the Bronx and you find the Mountain Pop store and for $14.95 you get a spaghetti and clam sauce that you tickle get hard that you want to offer the guy a hundred bucks so you can sleep in the back for an hour.
I know this.
joe rogan
When I lived in New Rochelle we used to go to Frank and John's.
joey diaz
I know this.
So...
joe rogan
Frank and John's in New Rochelle.
When I lived in New Rochelle, there's this old school Italian place.
The fucking food was so good.
It was right down the street from me.
I never ate anywhere else.
I barely could afford to eat there every day, but I scraped by every day.
Barely affording it.
Are you drinking more?
unidentified
You're a fucking animal.
joey diaz
Just a little something.
We've got to finish this.
That's it.
We're going to Portland, Oregon.
brian redban
You need to do a blackout cast with me, Joey.
joe rogan
To let everybody know, Portland.
Oh, yeah.
joey diaz
Portland, Oregon, baby.
joe rogan
All the shows are almost sold out.
And we're there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Helium Comedy Club.
And it's going to be fun as fuck.
I can't wait.
I've never done a long weekend in Portland.
I've only done one night there.
We're there for a UFC. I did one night in Portland.
joey diaz
We're going to have a good fucking time.
There's great food.
There's great strip clubs.
We got no radio, so we're going out.
joe rogan
Yeah, we got no radio.
And Helium is the shit.
Salute.
brian redban
And we gotta run to South.
Non-stop comedy.
Non-stop jobs.
joe rogan
Comedy tonight.
Brian Callen.
Doug Benson is going to be down there at Sal's Comedy Hole in Hollywood.
You're going to see it and you're going to go, really?
Are we in the right fucking place?
It says Vienna Cafe outside.
It doesn't even have a sign that says Sal's Comedy Hole.
It's the most low-rent ghetto setup ever, but it's growing.
Eventually, he's doing construction.
He's going to have the back room.
It's going to be much better and bigger.
This is just a spot.
He had a nice spot in La Brea, and he's a cool guy, and he was always cool to comics.
You recorded a CD there, didn't you?
joey diaz
It's going to be great there.
joe rogan
What did you ever do with that CD that you recorded there?
joey diaz
I couldn't use it.
joe rogan
No?
joey diaz
It was garbage.
joe rogan
No?
What happened?
What was wrong?
joey diaz
It was really weird, Joe, because...
If you notice, after that, I changed everything.
I hate listening to myself or watching myself.
Let's get this out of the way.
I got boxes of shit at the house people give me.
Hey, but I taped you.
I don't want to see myself.
Not at all.
And I thought there was a problem, and then one night I watched Johnny Depp on Letterman, and Letterman said to him, so after the thing, he goes, no, no, no, no, no, no.
After I shoot, it's over.
I don't watch myself.
He goes, really?
And I felt, okay, I'm not the only retard.
I don't like nothing about that.
That's why I never listen to myself doing stand-up.
I can't take my voice.
But after I taped that special and I listened to it, I was so ashamed of myself that I made notes and shit.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
It really helped me.
I bring the iPod out and I tape myself on short sets during the week.
I'm up to like six minutes and I gotta shut it off.
You know, I can't listen to the whole thing.
It's unbearable to listen to my voice.
joe rogan
It's hard to listen to yourself, but it's good.
It's good, because like what you said, how you force yourself to reevaluate...
joey diaz
Just that one listening, the five years twisted me around.
joe rogan
You gotta do that, man.
You gotta do that.
You can't just take it on the audience's reaction.
You gotta judge it as if you're a comic listening to another comic, too.
You know, when I listen to my stuff, I go, hmm...
How would I feel about this?
Is this funny to me?
I listen to it and forget about how the audience is laughing.
What does this make me think?
Do I think this is the right way to do this bit?
Should I shorten this part?
Is this too verbose?
Is this too this?
Is this too that?
And when you do that, man, everything gets tighter and stronger.
You focus on it.
It's uncomfortable, though.
It's a terrible feeling.
You feel like you're...
It's a weird thing, man.
Because the energy that brings you to be creative, the energy that brings you to smash it on stage, that is not a selfish energy.
People think it is because it seems like it is because you're on stage going, what the fuck, cocksucker?
And everyone's laughing.
But to do it right, to be tuned into those people, really, you have to be almost selfless.
You have to be tuned in this crazy way where it's all just about this fun that we're having.
It's not about me.
It ain't about me.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like the opposite that you would get from someone who listens to themselves like, yeah, I'm the shit.
Listen to me.
I'm the shit.
It's almost like you know that that's the poison.
That thinking like that is the poison that takes away the magic.
Because if you start thinking you're the shit, you start thinking that you're something special, you lose your whole connection with the magic.
So that's one of the reasons why you feel uncomfortable.
You don't want to listen.
You don't want to be that guy who wants to get in my car, listen to my new set last night.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
Tell me.
Tell me what I did.
You know?
You ever been in someone's car and they make you listen to their fucking routine?
Tell me about this new bit.
Is there anything you could add to this?
Like, oh, Jesus, dude.
joey diaz
I wrote this joke.
I want to try it.
unidentified
Oh, no!
Don't try it.
joey diaz
Say it on stage and then I can give you my output.
Yes.
joe rogan
Don't try it.
I don't try to shit on anybody.
unidentified
It's in your fucking heart, bro.
joe rogan
Yeah, you say it or you don't say it.
You know, just the idea that you're trying it out.
Look, it ain't a fucking weapon.
All right?
It's a goddamn joke.
Do it on stage.
Do it on a stage.
Take your goddamn chances.
And the more you do that, the more you know what the fuck's gonna work in the first place.
You don't have to talk to people about stuff like that.
joey diaz
You know, it's crazy, because with me, I have a hard time writing if I'm not in the zone.
When I'm with people, like, how do I get pissed off to a degree before I go on stage?
joe rogan
Yeah, you get mad.
You get fake arguments with people.
joey diaz
I want to do that.
joe rogan
One time, Eddie Bravo, we were all in the back at the House of Blues.
He's like, you guys with your fucking bullshit!
I gotta do it.
And Eddie's like, why is Joey getting upset?
I'm like, he's just gotta put himself in that place.
joey diaz
I gotta put myself in that place.
joe rogan
He's not really mad at us.
joey diaz
No, I'm not mad at nobody.
joe rogan
I need something.
joey diaz
I need something.
joe rogan
You fucking guys.
joey diaz
I need something.
joe rogan
Oh, I need to use a vaporizer.
joey diaz
Listen, cocksucker.
unidentified
I was smoking weed with an apple when I was five.
joey diaz
It's just really crazy how when I'm around you guys, sometimes just being mad makes me say something.
You're like, Joey, you gotta fucking say that on stage.
And I'll forget for a month.
unidentified
I'll forget.
joey diaz
And you guys are like, Joey, did you say that on stage yet?
I like when you guys gotta force me.
joe rogan
I'm like your records keeper.
I'm always coming up to you about stuff.
joey diaz
Bro, you gotta say that shit.
joe rogan
Are you still doing that thing about Dead Dick?
Are you still doing that thing?
joey diaz
Yeah, about the soldier?
joe rogan
Don't say anymore!
These people must see that on stage.
We have that video still.
Do you have that video?
Do something with that video.
Even if it's for internal use only, I need to see that set.
Give me that set, please.
brian redban
I thought I sent it to you already.
unidentified
No, you didn't.
joe rogan
You didn't.
Get me that set, Joey, from Brea.
It was last night, right?
It was Sunday night?
joey diaz
Yeah, it was Sunday night.
joe rogan
Yeah, Jesus fucking Christ.
I've never seen anybody kill harder than that.
The only thing that was closer to someone killing harder than that was when you killed in Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Theater.
Holy shit.
When you were doing that bit about fucking having that fist fight with the nun, holy shit.
I might not have ever laughed that hard at anything ever in my whole life.
It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
joey diaz
You know, we missed the comedy store.
And that's the bad thing because during the week, that's what you enjoyed.
joe rogan
Laughing at each other.
joey diaz
Laughing at each other.
And that really took away from my career because you see Bill Burr going on a Tuesday and want to die.
You know, he don't care.
He's so confident.
He's like, stand up and you want to try different things.
We always get into conversations nostalgic about the store, and at the end there were cunts and whatever, but I don't take away the truth from anything.
That's what's really lacking.
I wish we had, and Sal's is becoming that.
joe rogan
Sal's is becoming that.
joey diaz
We just need some more people to go down there and support.
I've been out of town on Wednesdays.
joe rogan
We've got plenty of people.
Bill Burr was by last week, and Sarah Silverman was by the week before, and Doug Benson's coming down all the time, Steve Renazzisi came and crushed it, Sam Tripoli came and crushed it.
joey diaz
Really?
joe rogan
I need to meet that dude.
I still never met that dude.
joey diaz
I don't even know what he is.
Is he in jail?
joe rogan
I don't know.
I'm a big fan of that dude.
That dude makes me laugh.
He makes me laugh.
Very few dudes.
He's one of my top favorite guys to watch.
If someone sends me a clip and says, hey, check out this Cat Williams clip, that fucking thing where he was going after Steve Harvey, Oh shit, that's funny.
And one of the things, he accentuates something, and as he accentuates it, he slides across the room like he's kicking someone in the nuts, and as he does it, he goes, I'm a little nigga, I fight dirty!
unidentified
And he slides on the stage, with his little foot up in the air like he's kicking somebody in the balls.
joe rogan
He's a wild dude, man.
He makes me laugh hard.
joey diaz
When we were talking about him in Irvine, you were like, you have no idea the numbers he does.
joe rogan
Oh, he does crazy numbers.
joey diaz
He goes, you know that place where we go to the UFC? He does that.
joe rogan
He does the Pearl at the Palms.
That's like 5,000 seats.
That's a big-ass place.
They have big bands there.
Cat Williams sells that fucker out, man.
And there's pictures of him in the casino with, like, fur coats on and shit and diamonds.
He's hilarious, man.
That dude really makes me laugh because he's just going for it all the time.
He's not trying to be anything other than he is.
He's just trying to be funny.
He's just going for it all the time.
Going for the funny.
Going for the funny.
And he's fucking good, dude.
He does a funny thing about fucking Shaquille O'Neal trying to be a cop.
Dude, it's fucking hilarious!
unidentified
It's about how Shaquille O'Neal's three-year-old was his height.
Ha ha ha ha!
Oh, dude, it's so funny, man.
joey diaz
That thing that he did on Michael Jackson, that made him a star.
When you watch that bit on YouTube, you watch that and you see the black people, they don't even know how to act because you're saying the truth.
See, the truth is a motherfucker.
When you say it the right way on stage, even if it's wrong what he was saying, where's Michael Jackson?
He's probably smelling little baby's booty holes or something.
That is a classic fucking line.
And he just runs from there with it, guys.
And he runs with it.
And he says, when was the last time you seen Michael Jackson with a woman?
Not never!
He does all that crazy shit.
Bro, that shit made him a star.
That little piece of him being himself.
Just that little piece that comics pray for that utopia to come one day.
joe rogan
It's important to have guys like that out there.
I like guys that are just going for it.
I like guys that are out there just fucking going for it.
There's a lot of people that think that comedy is about the respect of your peers and creating the proper clever joke with the right wording and...
It's not, man.
It's about entertainment value.
It's about your stand-up comedy.
And these days, man, your comedy doesn't even nearly have to be that deep anymore.
If you want to get deep, man, you could do a podcast and get deep.
You could write a blog and get deep.
You could have a conversation with an intelligent person.
You don't have to get that deep with your comedy.
The shit that makes me laugh is Cat Williams sliding across the floor, kicking some dude in the ball.
I'm a little nigga.
I fight dirty!
And when he does, it's so natural.
It's so funny, man.
That guy kills me, man.
He's got some great shit.
You know what?
He actually had some real good advice, too, that I took.
He said that he listens to...
On his iPod, he has a playlist of all music that he listens to right before he goes on stage.
And I'm like, damn, that's a great idea.
Because I have just a group of some of my favorite songs on my iPod that I just throw on.
It's on my iPhone, too.
I'll throw them on when I'm at the gym or whatever.
But I don't have a specific list just for stand-up.
But that's a good fucking idea.
It's a real good idea.
So I started doing that.
I started doing that just based on that.
Because I know music, if you listen to the right kind of music, the right kind of music can fucking get you in a good groove, man.
You know?
Especially if you haven't...
Sometimes when, you know, you listen to music too much, you lose its power.
You don't have that feeling anymore.
It just loses its impact.
But every now and then, a song would just jack you and let you know what's possible.
Remember when we were at the Brea Improv and we were in the parking lot and I had that Nissan truck and you got out and they had that crazy sound system in and you got out of your car and you're like, Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan, put this fucking CD in right now.
joey diaz
Donna Summer.
joe rogan
Donna Summer.
Hot stuff.
You put on hot stuff.
unidentified
Oh, that's some good shit on that grade that sits out.
joey diaz
Some music drives you fucking nuts.
I love music.
I love music.
I love Love It Skinny.
I've listened to Love It Skinny lately.
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
I love Leonard Skinner.
I love Allman Brothers from the 70s, Leonard Skinner.
I love that vibe, man.
There's something about that time.
Like, if I'm in a pool hall and Sweet Home Alabama comes on, it's like your girlfriend just comes over and rubs your neck.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like someone comes over and gives you a hug.
Like, that's like, don't, don't, don't.
You hear that?
joey diaz
You're like, ow!
What a sweet song.
joe rogan
What a great song.
Yeah, and they're singing it.
They're singing it, man.
unidentified
What are you doing with your finger on the trigger?
joe rogan
What are you doing over there?
unidentified
Nothing.
joe rogan
What are you doing?
brian redban
Just waiting for her to get out of here.
joe rogan
Wait, you get out of here?
How long have we been doing this?
joey diaz
It's 7.15.
brian redban
We're going to be late for our show.
joe rogan
Whatever.
So we're a couple minutes late.
There's a whole internet out there.
brian redban
Yeah, but I'm running the show.
joe rogan
Yeah, which is even better because they can't go there without you being there.
They can't start it.
joey diaz
Don't worry about it, buddy.
I've got to go eat dinner, too, guys.
joe rogan
This is it?
This is how we're going to end this fucking thing?
joey diaz
7-15, 7-20.
That's it.
Two hours.
joe rogan
This is the end.
joey diaz
My only friend.
joe rogan
The end.
joey diaz
Down, down, down.
joe rogan
