Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
We're live.
Ba-bam.
joey diaz
So this story is about...
joe rogan
We're talking about G. Gordon Liddy.
joey diaz
So G. Gordon Liddy, in this episode of Miami Vice, was a sergeant in Vietnam.
And right when Saigon fell, he held on to 300 kilos of pure heroin.
And he took it to the United States in dead bodies.
This is what the episode's about.
1986 Miami Vice.
They bring it to Miami and he sat on it for 20 years.
Until the value went all the way up, just like an investment.
And then he let it loose, but by that time it had gotten contaminated and started killing junkies all up and down the East Coast.
What a brilliant episode.
unidentified
Wow.
joey diaz
So they had to go in and dig for G. Gore and Liddy, and this motherfucker shows up, right, for like this board meeting.
That's when I had to leave the house.
He shows up to this board meeting, he's like, yeah, the heroin was mine, blah, blah, blah.
He goes, I guarantee, they called him Sergeant Real Estate.
And in the episode, he goes, I guess you guys forget who the hell I am.
He turns around, he goes in his briefcase, and he throws a chain of ears on the tape when he walks out.
That's it.
That's the episode.
Tremendous.
joe rogan
And this is 80 what?
joey diaz
This is 86, this episode on Miami.
This is way before American Gangster was talking about it.
This was already out that they were bringing heroin and dead bodies.
And that's how the episode starts.
The reporter takes Don Johnson to the morgue and he opens it up in Vietnam and he goes, this is your friend.
Stick your hand in there.
It was just pure heroin.
joe rogan
That was what they did, right?
joey diaz
That's what they were doing towards the end.
I don't know the beginning of that.
But it was really the CIA. They're blaming it all on some black guy from Harlem.
joe rogan
Well, you know, there's a guy named Mr. Nice.
I forget what his name is.
Something.
Banks?
Famous drug dealer.
What he said was it wasn't the CIA. What it was is some people in the CIA. He said it's some cowboys in the CIA. And that's what makes the most sense to me.
Like this idea that the big organization, the CIA, would be involved in drug smuggling seems like so crazy.
joey diaz
A to Z, Joe Rogan?
It's too many heads turned.
joe rogan
There's plenty of people.
There's plenty of people that did do it.
Look, there's plenty of examples.
Like, there's an example right now, this thing called the Silk Road.
You know about the Silk Road?
The Silk Road was this underground drug-dealing, like, network that this guy had created.
And they were just selling mad money, mad drugs, like, underground.
And they created this thing.
Like, it's...
It's a total...
What it is, is it operates, like, completely under the wire.
And these DEA guys, I think it was DEA, they infiltrated it.
And they got into the Silk Road.
One of the first things they did, they started stealing money.
Now these guys are in jail.
They're going to jail right now.
They're in court right now.
And they're wondering, like, whether or not this case is even valid.
Because these guys for sure had access to this guy's account.
And part of what they were trying to try this guy on is his complicit – that he was complicit in the drug selling.
And there was also some possibility that people were murdered, although there was no body – There's a lot of kinky shit going on with this.
And the kinkiest part is that the agents were stealing money.
brian redban
Bitcoins.
joe rogan
Yes, they were stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin.
So they realized that there was a lot of value in this.
Like, that shit has always gone on.
I think the reason why you have guys like this that are showing up in the Silk Road case, there's always been cowboys.
But I think there's been good guys, too.
There's been guys who are in the CIA that really did it for America.
I had this guy Michael Baker in, man.
I'm pretty good at recognizing bullshit.
You know, and he's a longtime CIA operative.
And he's a fucking great guy.
I mean, he really does seem like he loves America.
Like, I don't think he's bullshitting.
I think there's a lot of those guys.
They get in those positions and they get a group of them together, just like they did with Rampart, those fucking bad cops.
They get a group of them together and go, look.
What happened?
Oops, I popped that out.
They get to go, look, all these guys are making money, right?
Fuck them!
They're all criminals and scumbags and cunts.
Let's just get some of this money, man.
Let's just get some of this money.
Come on, man.
You're never gonna stop these fucking people.
This is what we do.
We keep throwing a few of them in jail.
We do whatever the fuck we gotta do.
We're the gang here.
We got the law on our side.
Let's fucking make some money.
joey diaz
Well, when I said CIA, I shouldn't have said that.
You're absolutely right.
There was factions, like a brown bag, like a black bag faction that went in after the Marines would go in and they'd shoot everybody and throw cards.
You know, whatever the fuck it was.
When you're shipping heroin...
From wherever the fuck that is considered, all the way to the United States, through three or two different airports, and people have to unload them, and you have, you know, whatever people walking through your plane when they first come in, you know, to inspect them.
That's a lot of people you gotta grease.
There has to be somebody huge.
This isn't me and you getting a boat and going to Columbia and paying some guy with me and Red Band and we just shoot across with police scanners and try our best.
To infiltrate, to bring in that amount of heroin, you have to spend a lot of dough.
That's where your costs come in.
That's where you set the wholesale and the retail prices.
You know, years ago, 20 years ago, they would smuggle it 60 miles in, 70, 45, 50 miles in from the United States around Miami, and they would dump it overboard with weights.
And 12 hours later, the boom would explode, and the bales would rise up, and you'd come by, a fisherman would come by and put the bales in.
Meanwhile, the DEA was looking for that boat that was speeding across on their radar.
But they would throw, you know, that takes expensive equipment to devise, something to throw you, you know, 50 pounds of cocaine 100 feet under the water and then 12 hours later, everything blows and your coke rises to the top.
And now some guy comes and just picks it up.
This is brilliant stuff.
joe rogan
That's so crazy!
That's really what they did?
joey diaz
That was one part of the things they did.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
joey diaz
You know, after a while, to beat the federal government, you gotta, you gotta, and it doesn't, listen man, what the budget is for fighting drugs, and what a drug dealer spends a month, I'm talking about a guy that's bringing in a thousand kilos a month of powder, whether it be heroin or fucking cocaine.
That's big powder.
Somebody's gotta be turning around.
And they were flooding the market with heroin.
I remember being a little boy in New York and going to visit my godmother or my mother's friends and seeing people everywhere nodding.
Early New York to me was a fucking, this shit, what's the show now where people are dead walking around Atlanta?
joe rogan
Walking here.
joey diaz
I saw that growing up.
I saw that growing up as a kid.
joe rogan
That's Skid Row.
joey diaz
Where they used to have, in Harlem, Spanish Harlem, Black Harlem.
joe rogan
Skid Row is scarier than all those places.
joey diaz
You know, they had people nodding at the lights.
People waiting across the street and they'd nod at the fucking lights.
joe rogan
You know what they don't have, though, in New York that they have here in LA? See, in New York, all these cities have buildings.
There's, like, these streets where these people are.
It's like, these are places where other folks go.
Like, you got all your homeless people.
You got, you know, your poor people.
But there's cars that go through those areas.
And it's, you know, it's well-traveled.
Like, New York blends more.
LA has these blocks that are just homeless people.
And when I mean just homeless people, I'm talking...
Thousands.
Like, there literally might be a thousand people on this block.
Oh, dude.
joey diaz
You've seen them?
brian redban
Oh, yeah.
You make a wrong turn and you get right in the middle of it.
joe rogan
It's a Michael Jackson video.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
It really is.
It's insane.
Where?
Downtown.
There's a spot.
Well, they call Skid Row.
brian redban
It actually says, if you go on Google Map and type Skid Row Los Angeles, it actually says Skid Row.
joey diaz
And is it like a mile long?
I mean, it's a couple blocks long.
brian redban
I'll show you.
joe rogan
It's a lot.
There's more than one area.
There's like one long street.
But we used to work, when we did Fear Factor, we used to work in these buildings.
And these buildings were a lot of them abandoned textile buildings or they were renting them out.
So where American Apparel actually is made.
It's really weird.
We were in the American Apparel factory.
We had to go through the American Apparel factory to get to the roof.
We watched them make their clothes.
They do make them in downtown LA. It's like one of the things they pride themselves in.
unidentified
Jesus, fight!
joe rogan
Fucking Christ, Joey Diaz!
But we would go to the top of these...
Hang up on it.
Jesus Christ.
Are you checking to see who the fuck it is?
joey diaz
No, I'm checking it right now.
joe rogan
Sorry.
That's all right.
We would go to the top of these buildings, and you could literally...
There was areas where you could see them leaking out into the rest of the streets.
And if you drove down there, if you drove down the street...
I'm not bullshitting.
You would see hundreds, hundreds of homeless people just swarming the streets.
And there's these areas where they have like...
It's crazy, Joey.
They have these areas where they have, like, they give them food, or they have, you know, areas where they can get medical assistance, stuff like that, and those areas are particularly dense.
joey diaz
Now, when I shot NYPD Blue, I shot at a downtown location, that's a pool hall, kind of, sort of, and they had tons of homeless people, and while I was standing there, I heard people going in, talking about how they had day rentals, The government would pay for 15 days and they'd be out in the street for 15 days.
joe rogan
Shit like that.
joey diaz
But I didn't see that.
I didn't see like a tentville like that.
joe rogan
This seems mild compared to what I saw.
When was this?
What year is this?
Well, maybe they've cleaned it up a little.
brian redban
Well, it's also during the day.
I've gone through the night.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Night time.
brian redban
And that's scary as fuck.
joe rogan
Jamie, hold on.
unidentified
Go back.
joe rogan
Go back.
I want to see what those statistics were.
joey diaz
There's homeless people in every city, and it's out of proportion in some cities more than others.
joe rogan
Here, pause on that for a second.
Skid Row is an area of downtown LA. The population of the district was 17,740.
Skid Row is defined as...
Oh my God.
What the fuck does that mean?
Defined in a decision by Jones versus City of Los Angeles is the area east of Main Street, south of 3rd Street, and west of Alameda Street.
So it's kind of like a block.
It's like an area.
But that area has 17,000 homeless people.
Is that right?
That's a goddamn Kevin Hart concert.
brian redban
With the fire and everything.
joe rogan
Kevin Hart sold out Madison Square Garden three fucking shows in a row.
He's a monster.
joey diaz
Comedy's on an all-time high.
joe rogan
He's the biggest comedian of all time.
Kevin, no one's ever been as big as Kevin Hart.
As far as popularity, no one even close.
I can't think of one person.
I think there's a couple guys that got up to that edge, but I think he's taken it to a totally different stratosphere.
Dane got pretty far.
He got on that edge.
Louie's on that edge.
But Kevin Hart is, like, routinely doing these crazy arena shows.
He's doing 40,000-plus people, or he's sold 40,000-plus tickets already for a show in Philly where he's filming a special.
Dude, it's just total next-level positive energy shit.
And if you go to that kid's Instagram page, his Instagram is all about, like, positive, like, energy, like, going to work.
I'm doing what I love to do.
I'm working.
Shows him in the gym, putting work in.
joey diaz
He does $5.
5K is with people in neighborhoods and shit.
unidentified
Did you see that?
joey diaz
They were chasing him last week in Boston.
He flew into the 5K. He's a bad motherfucker.
He's got a reality show.
He's got a cartoon.
He never stops.
joe rogan
He's got his own line of underwear.
He'd do whatever the fuck he wants.
He's an animal.
brian redban
You would suck being in those concerts, though, and being like, the back?
That cannot be enjoyable.
joe rogan
Huge screens.
Huge screens.
And the way they acoustically set up these things, it used to be a problem.
Like, I told you that I used to work at Great Woods.
It was kind of a funny story.
Because it was during a Bill Cosby show that there was an issue.
Bill Cosby and there was a Roddy Dangerfield show, the same issue.
And the issue was, the way Great Woods is set up, it's an amphitheater.
So you're indoors and part of it, and part of it is outdoors.
The back of it leads out to this lawn area, or at least it did when I worked there.
And so you could hear if you were under the canopy.
There was like an acoustic canopy above all the seats in the front.
But then the back, there was no seats.
So it's like you had monsters behind you.
So you're trying to watch a show.
There was one big fight.
I think, I want to say it was...
Judas Priest?
Was it Judas Priest?
No, Jethro Tull.
It was Jethro Tull.
There was a Jethro Tull concert and there was a fucking mad riot because people started lighting fires up in the hood, up in the grass area.
They were just lighting fires and there was not enough of us.
To sort of like control it all because it was getting really fucking crazy.
So I put my security jacket, I put a hoodie on over my security jacket, zipped it up, threw the hoodie over my head and said, fuck this job.
And I just quit.
I was like, you can't pay me nine bucks an hour to get killed because this is fucking madness.
I saw fist fights.
My friend Larry, who's like one of the nicest guys in the world, punched some guy.
And I was like, oh, I'm fucking that.
If Larry's hitting people, Larry's like the sweetest of sweethearts.
And I'm like, if this guy's hitting people, I am gone.
This is a madness in the air.
I gotta get the fuck out of here.
joey diaz
I got pissed off at the Ghetto Hotel concert, too, because he breaks out the flute.
unidentified
Once he breaks out the flute, you're like, what the fuck is this?
joey diaz
People from the East Coast, we don't like flutes.
We don't like flutes.
joe rogan
My point was, in the back area, the green grass area, You couldn't hear the words.
You didn't understand what the fuck it was.
It was all echoes.
It was all blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like, people were pissed.
They go, I don't know what the fuck he's saying.
And Rodney was killing, too.
And so was Cosby.
Cosby was killing, too.
joey diaz
We were just, Jamie and I were talking about Red Rocks.
If you've been to Red Rocks.
You get so impressed with the sound.
You're like, gee, and I went like in 80-something, and then I went like in 90-something, and it was like being indoors.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
joey diaz
And Fiddler's Green, which is a little smaller, I think, on the other side of Denver, they had an issue there, but now, even the Hollywood Bowl.
joe rogan
Jesus, look at Red Rock.
How many people are there?
joey diaz
What's the popular?
unidentified
I don't know.
joey diaz
Not too many, I think.
I don't think.
joe rogan
That's insane.
joey diaz
Look how beautiful it is.
joe rogan
Did you do stand-up there?
unidentified
Did you ever do stand-up there?
No, no.
joe rogan
They do it.
They do it there.
joey diaz
Yeah, somebody did it.
brian redban
Brody.
joe rogan
Chuck Roy was doing a set there.
joey diaz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Somebody did it.
joe rogan
He was doing like a movie night where he would like host and do some comedy.
Yeah, Brody did.
joey diaz
Look how beautiful.
joe rogan
Brody didn't get paid for that one.
That was one that Brody didn't get paid for.
They fucked him out.
Did you know the whole story?
unidentified
He got his money.
He went on Twitter.
He should have fucking went on Twitter.
joe rogan
Did he get his money?
joey diaz
I think so.
joe rogan
Well, we were retweeting it.
joey diaz
Yeah, he's like, I'm sorry.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
joey diaz
I finally got my money for concert number three or whatever.
joe rogan
Listen, what they did was crazy.
What they did was crazy.
He had two shows.
One was in a small theater and one was in this big theater.
He was doing the show in the small theater and they go, would you like to do a show in the big theater?
So he goes, yeah, sure.
Thinking he's going to get paid.
They ask him, do you want to work?
They put his name on the bill.
He tweeted pictures of the lineup.
They had his name in the lineup.
It wasn't like a guest set or anything like that.
It was a guy they had scheduled on the show.
And nobody wants to go up first.
You don't want to go up first in front of fucking 15,000 people.
You want to get the crowd warmed up first.
Brody had to go up there and do the hardest spot of the night.
andy stumpf
The second hardest spot of the night.
joe rogan
The hardest spot of the night is like following someone who crushes.
Like if you're going on after Diaz, that's the hardest spot of the night.
But the second hardest part of the night is the first guy.
The first guy, his first couple minutes is kind of like a throwaway.
You got to kind of get everybody loose, get everybody feeling good, and then boom, hit them.
And the material has got to have very few bumps in it because you're trying to hypnotize these fuckers.
So like the early material has got to be like real smooth.
The more herky-jerky the earlier stuff is...
Less likely to trust you, you motherfucker.
You can't even get me in a goddamn trance.
You're slipping up your words, you know?
But if you go out there just smooth style and just walk right into it and really know what the fuck you're doing to get things started, you forget about that.
I forget about that.
I opened for Callan when he was doing his DVD, and I just opened.
It was the first time I had done that in forever.
I was like, ooh, this is interesting.
This is like a different...
You kind of got to get everybody.
You feel it.
You feel like they're not quite there yet.
You got to kind of like massage.
And then you start to fucking crank it up and make them keep up.
But it's definitely a different thing.
joey diaz
You got to slow them down, suck them in, and then the other night I did the storyteller show.
And you know, everybody talks about suicide.
I had a kid that grew up with Steve Mancini.
And one day, he just said, fuck it.
He went to Carvel.
He walked the suicide bridge, he ate his sundae, he took his glasses off, he put them down, and he jumped.
And that was it.
Didn't leave a note, nothing.
He was always a little fucking crazy.
Every time you saw him, he was quoting albums and shit.
Like, it's rolling thunder, fire, and rain.
So you know he was disturbed somewhere along the line.
But nobody gave a fuck.
Like, even today, when I go home and I go, what happened to Steve Banchin?
Fuck him.
He jumped.
He committed suicide.
Times have changed.
People give a fuck, man.
unidentified
You kill yourself.
He was his hurting soul.
joey diaz
20 years ago, you kill yourself.
Fuck that motherfucker.
He's in limbo.
joe rogan
Isn't that funny?
Because it was more like back then, like, ah, fucking, you're an idiot.
joey diaz
Yeah, back then, like, that's it.
You were forgotten.
They had no mask for you.
Right?
When you ice yourself, you can't get masked.
joe rogan
That's true if you're religious, right?
joey diaz
Yeah, you can't get masked up.
When you die, they bury you.
You don't go to hell or heaven.
You go to limbo.
You're floating around with other people carrying a rope.
joe rogan
We never heard about mental illness when I was a kid.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
We heard about completely crazy people that were locked in an asylum.
But the idea of your aunt taking pills because she's bipolar, what are you talking about?
joey diaz
What are you talking about?
brian redban
Because it was accepted and everyone did it.
You know, it's like, oh yeah, we used to take volume and...
joe rogan
No, I think it's the opposite.
I think you just get used to people being fucking crazy.
You know, you didn't feel like you had to medicate them.
You know, I think people were way more crazy in the 60s and 70s.
joey diaz
I had dude Johnny Reed that tried to kill himself, but he jumped off a building and he landed in a dumpster.
unidentified
Oh my God.
And he lived.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
How bad was he broken?
joey diaz
Fucked up, right?
Fucked up!
unidentified
And he'd throw punches into the air.
joey diaz
Johnny Reed was a trippy.
He was an Irish guy.
unidentified
And he got a check from the government.
joey diaz
And he gave it to the bartender on the first.
That's what people thought.
unidentified
But he lived.
joey diaz
Like, he banged his head on the dumpster.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
unidentified
And he fucking over the dog.
joey diaz
He lived.
And he'd give his check from the government on the first to the bartender.
And he'd torment the bartender until that check was done.
And they'd throw him out to the first.
And they would last until about the 18th and 19th.
When I was a kid, I used to torment Johnny Reed.
You know, on the East Coast, you'd lock the bathrooms from the outside.
joe rogan
What the fuck he said?
joey diaz
You lock the bathrooms from the outside on the East Coast.
When you leave a bar at night when they close up, they lock the bathroom and then they put like a lock ball.
So if you break in, they can't.
He would go in the bathroom, Johnny Reed, like 11 o'clock in the morning to pee and we'd lock him in there.
We'd leave him in there until like 6 o'clock at night.
We'd come back to have a drink.
We'd open the bathroom and he'd come out like nothing.
I swear to God, like nothing happened.
unidentified
He was hilarious.
joey diaz
I mean, one day I put my dick on a chair next to him.
unidentified
He...
He was sitting on a barstool.
joey diaz
My friend was like, put your dick on the chair.
unidentified
See what happens.
And he's like, wow.
And he just got up.
joey diaz
Johnny re-lived maybe 12 years ago.
We used to give him bumps of coke and get him riled up at the bar.
And he'd just leave.
unidentified
Fuck you motherfuckers.
joey diaz
I'll fight all the years.
And he'd just fucking leave.
Hilarious.
Anyway.
joe rogan
Did you ever have a girl you dated to kill herself?
joey diaz
No.
They should have.
Should I put that fucking helmet ratted?
You should kill yourself the first time and when you get to your destination.
unidentified
Kill yourself once you get up to heaven.
joe rogan
I'm not forgiving me.
brian redban
Are all your ex-girls still alive?
Both of you?
joe rogan
Well, what I was going to bring in, it was like one girl that I knew.
She didn't kill herself.
Well, she kind of did, but it was with drugs.
But she wasn't ever a girlfriend.
She was a girl I knew when I was young.
Then I hung out with her again when we were like adults.
But not much.
You know, we'd talk on the phone every now and again.
She was fucked up.
She was some form of opiates.
I don't know the whole story.
But she was a sweet girl.
It was a real bummer.
It was really depressing.
When you hear about shit like that, it's like, ooh, that's so depressing.
You know, it's so depressing when someone just can't keep a hold on it or just gets caught up in a spell and then their life just slips away.
I know more than I like.
I know quite a few people.
I have a real problem with those goddamn pills.
Especially those pills.
They're so fucking available, Joey.
They're so available.
They give them to you.
You hurt you.
You got a boo-boo?
You got a boo-boo here, man.
Become a fucking angel.
Take this.
Go off in a la-la way.
Melt into your pillow and float away in a cloud of love.
Go ahead.
And oh, you're going to have to get off that if you want your life.
And you give these people these pills and you tell them, hey man, you got a few weeks off of work.
You know, you hurt your back.
Had to get surgery.
And you'll start popping these fuckers watching TV and next thing you know, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do.
That's your life.
Your life is that.
I mean fucking Schaub.
You know, Schaub is a goddamn super athlete.
Brendan Schaub is a big giant gorilla, UFC fighter, pretty straight edge dude, pretty clean cut dude.
Four months in, he's taking these fucking pills and his friends have to tell him, like, dude, you gotta stop.
His friends had to take his pills from him.
They fucking get you, dude.
brian redban
Yeah, I know a girl that's going through it.
She buys Vicodin.
From dealers?
Yeah, she gets Vicodin and he down her.
And then it's...
Weird, because then she can't sleep at night, so it's her all pillied up, just talking, like, online and, like, on Periscope and shit, and you're just like, what the fuck?
It's weird watching strangers on Periscope also, just, you know, late night.
joe rogan
How long before somebody kills himself on Periscope?
brian redban
I think it's already probably happened, right?
joe rogan
Probably, right?
joey diaz
You know, it's crazy.
I had a girlfriend in the eighth grade I really dug.
I met her.
She was a cheerleader.
Pretty cute.
This is fucked up.
And, uh...
Irish chick, just red hair.
I just dug her.
You know, we'd hold hands and eat a slice of pizza after a basketball game.
We went to movies.
We maybe swap spit.
And one day we were talking about dry humping or whatever the fuck we were going to do.
We went back to her house.
I'll never forget this.
I was dating for like maybe two or three months.
Just on the weekends, you know, I'd walk down to Union City.
And one day I asked, I said, what time do your parents get home?
She goes, well, my dad gets home at five.
And my mom is dead.
And I was like 12 or 13 showing my head almost exploded.
I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
She's like, my mom died at childbirth.
And I was like, I couldn't even make out with her after that.
I couldn't do anything.
I just remember going home and going, I can't see this girl no more.
I mean, what the fuck?
joe rogan
How come you couldn't see her?
joey diaz
That thought had never entered my mind.
joe rogan
So it was just too sad for you?
joey diaz
It was too mind-boggling, like not having a mom.
So I called her up one day, and I stopped dating her, and I started dating this other Irish chick, and I never thought about her again.
You know, I know she was mad.
And then my mother died.
And I was like, that's the first person I thought of was this poor girl.
Like I knew what she fucking felt like now.
I never, I could never imagine that pain when I was dating her, when she told me that.
I'm like, what are you fucking talking about?
Whose mom dies?
Whose fucking mom dies?
That's the worst thing I've had.
I think one of my girlfriends died.
One of the girls I dated early on died about two years ago.
I'm still friends with her brother.
We didn't really date.
We messed around a little bit.
She was fucking crazy and she ended up dying from...
Pills and booze.
Nobody really knew.
brian redban
Joe, we started off with guns and then we went to death.
unidentified
He's the one that asked me if one of my girlfriends killed themselves.
joe rogan
It's weird when people that you really care about aren't there anymore.
It's a weird thing because they just vanish.
They just don't exist anymore.
And it's a sadness that it's just so forever.
My friend Johnny, who was my best friend, For a long time.
He's a great guy.
I fucking love that dude.
I couldn't wait to see him every time I go to the East Coast.
We'd hang out, flew him up here, and when I flew him up here, he was detoxing.
Same thing, pills.
He was into oxys, and he was into heroin, like strong shit, you know, like strong opiates towards the end.
And it took a few days for him to get off of it, and then we could go around and hang out.
He was just at my house, just sweating for like four or five days.
And when he died, man, I remember thinking, like, I can't believe I'll never talk to that dude again.
I can't believe.
Like, he was like...
One of the things about Johnny is he had this real clear view of what the fuck is going on.
His life might have been chaotic as far as drugs, but he knew exactly what everybody was up to.
He just knew.
He was a very smart dude.
I'm very good at reading people.
And you can see, like, he's, like, looking around shit.
When I met you, that was the first thing that I noticed.
When I met you, it's like, there was all these people that were scared of you.
It was so weird.
There was all these people that were, like, nervous around you.
You know, they thought, like, Joey Diaz is a bad guy.
This was, like, late 90s or whatever it was when we first met.
And I was like, you're out of your fucking mind.
Like, this guy's great.
You seem to me to be a lot like him.
And the only two, you and him are the only two like real original humans I've ever met.
Where I can't, I don't know anybody else like you.
And I didn't know anybody else like him.
Just completely original characters.
It was one of the first things that I really liked about you.
Because we met like, what was it, like 95 or some shit?
Like when was it?
Was it 97?
I was still on news radio.
So it was only, so I would have spent two years into news radio.
And, um...
Having those kind of friends...
Whose phone is that?
Yours, Joey?
unidentified
How dare you?
joey diaz
It's, you know...
joe rogan
Friends like that are so important in your life.
Friends who...
joey diaz
You need people to clear you up from time to time.
That's why I call home every morning.
I got four or five different guys that whenever I talk to, I talk to them and everything gets nice and smoothed out.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
Every morning.
joe rogan
For them too.
joey diaz
One or the other.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
And right now, it's really weird because now I have two friends I haven't spoken to in 20 years.
When I went on the LAM to Sarasota, that kid hit me up on an email and he goes, I need to talk to you.
And him and I, when I went back to New Jersey, he was one of those kids, he was in Sarasota.
You know what there is to do in Sarasota in 1982?
Nothing!
So when I went down there, he was all excited.
He's got a partner, you know?
The thing about him is he was shooting fucking Decker in his biceps.
I mean, seriously, he was shooting them in his shoulder caps, in his traps.
He was God!
joe rogan
Jesus Christ!
joey diaz
He was gone!
You know what I'm saying?
He was just a balloon.
And he was eating, he was eating, what's the German?
Five milligram, the shit that just puts, not testosterone, not decadarablin, but he was eating that gorilla shit.
We're guaranteed to gain, not decadarablin, D-ball!
joe rogan
D-ball.
joey diaz
No, what's Dianabol?
joe rogan
Anadrol?
Diana Ball.
joey diaz
This is 1982, people.
So the names have changed.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
If you want to look like a fucker.
So everything on him was...
He was popping those Diana Balls.
unidentified
Right.
joey diaz
Like, he was supposed to eat three a day.
He was eating like eight a day.
unidentified
Like, he...
joey diaz
He was eating a double prescription bottle and then blasting off the fucking shit in his forearm.
He was huge.
I loved him, though.
I got him.
So when I left, he always got mad at me.
He called me, man.
He hit me up on an email on my website.
unidentified
Really?
joey diaz
I called him back.
I go, what's up, dog?
It took me a couple days.
I don't want to hear this shit.
And he goes, hey, man, my dad died.
And he goes, I got to tell you something.
I think about you every day because I can't imagine how you were handling this shit at 16. Then my other buddy died.
His mom died about a month ago.
I sent flowers.
And he keeps calling me every morning going, Doug, I don't know how the fuck you did it at 16. I got the most respect for you in the world.
It's like now I'm paying them back.
joe rogan
Wow.
joey diaz
For them taking care of me when I was younger.
It turned around.
I miss my deaf buddies, bro.
I'd miss Rago, like that crazy dude, the bodybuilder that was fucking, you know, we would take him to bars and we'd say, Rago, get on top of the fucking stage and pose.
Who goes to a bar?
Like, he didn't give a fuck.
And I'd take him to the UFC bar and go, get up there.
joe rogan
This is the guy that you told me that was doing a line while his mother shot steroids.
joey diaz
No, that's Danny B. That's a different guy.
joe rogan
He's doing a line in front of his mother while he was on the phone or his mother shot steroids in his ass.
joey diaz
While he was doing a line and he's talking on the phone at the same time.
This is brilliant.
joe rogan
Come on, tell me that wouldn't be like one of the most hilarious scenes in a movie ever.
joey diaz
We talk about it.
He comes to my shows, Danny B. He still comes to my shows.
joe rogan
He's still alive?
joey diaz
He calls into the podcast.
joe rogan
How did that guy make it?
joey diaz
He just put a picture of him on Twitter, dressed in fucking full army regalia with like fucking five generals behind him.
Him 19 years old, he was the soldier of the year in the army.
That's why he was doing this, this, and this at the same time, because he could do that.
That's how crazy.
He was the soldier of the year.
They were doing exercises in fucking Beirut, and four guys were in a rap, and the rap tipped over, and he saved all four of them.
So they made him the soldier of the fucking year.
He went to the White House.
Two years later, they discharged him, and he was selling blow on the fucking street.
How fucking crazy is that?
They dishonably discharged him for running a gambling operation in the fucking North Carolina, wherever they were stationed.
joe rogan
Let me ask you this.
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
joey diaz
No, no.
This other kid that I showed you, the crazy one that he won like Mr. New Jersey, Darren.
I miss him every morning.
joe rogan
He was the guy that died young from steroids.
joey diaz
He died from, you know, everything.
He had Hepatitis C. Oh, Jesus.
joe rogan
From Sharon Needles?
joey diaz
Well, he was already shooting in high school.
Really?
By March of 82, he was already coming to my house.
I gotta talk to you, dog.
I gotta talk to you, man.
Like, that's the first person who ever, ever sat me down.
He's like, listen, let me tell you.
And he was coked up.
We were both doing coke.
And it was like a secret inside his heart.
He's like, I gotta tell you something, man.
And he took off his shirt and he started doing push-ups.
Like, somebody just starts doing 50 push-ups in front of him.
Like, what the fuck's going on?
He got up and started flexing.
I'm like, what are you doing?
And he goes, I go to this person's house and they were gay in 82. These two guys were gay, but he grew up with them, and he remained friends with them.
He didn't care they were gay.
Nobody knew.
So they were sharing vitamin B shots, and they were sharing Decker.
joe rogan
No good ever comes out of we were sharing a needle.
unidentified
Even if it is vitamin B. We saved 29 cents!
joey diaz
Nobody fucking knew.
That's like, you know, listen, man, when you're of that level of a guy in that type of gym situation, think about it.
You and I have never been that guy.
But there are guys that, you know how people smoke a joint?
In Rocky the other day, I'm watching the beginning of Rocky.
He goes to the corner, there's 18 guys sharing a wine bottle, and he takes the wine bottle and he takes a sip of it.
I'm thinking to myself, that's fucking the flu.
But in those days, you had to do that to be part of a guy.
You're in a gym.
You're all yoked up.
You're 5'10".
You're 240 pounds.
Red Bear shoots Decker.
Red Bear, give me the fucking thing.
joe rogan
You just take it from him and stick it in you.
joey diaz
That's not my game, but I could see it.
joe rogan
I get it, yeah.
joey diaz
I could see it.
That's the bond.
Me and you are on the street with thieves.
We're living in Skid Row with thieves, you and me.
Everything we fucking take, we split down the middle.
What do you think is going to happen after a year?
unidentified
Sex.
That too.
joey diaz
You know, that too.
joe rogan
Remember those fucking Clint Eastwood movies where the Indians, they'd cut their hands, they'd cut their hands, they'd put the blood together?
brian redban
Blood Brothers.
joey diaz
This is it, bro.
I could see two guys shooting the needle.
Me and you, we're not in that world, and Red Band, we're like, ew.
You know, but to some guy, look at my bicep, dude.
What's that guy that said, what's my favorite impersonation you do?
The guy in Boston, he'd give you night-night time with the jab.
Remember the guy in Boston in the South?
unidentified
Oh, Joe Lake?
I hit you with my left.
joey diaz
I hit you with my left.
unidentified
It's night-night time.
brian redban
Whatever.
joe rogan
I knew the dude in high school that was doing steroids.
He was enormous.
He was so much bigger than everybody else.
It was crazy.
He came from another school when we were like, I think I was a, I guess I was like a freshman.
And he was like, he came in as a sophomore.
He was like a year older than me.
And he was giant with these crazy stretch marks.
We're talking about a 16 year old kid, 17 year old kid.
Massive stretch marks all over his chest with these watermelon tits.
He just had watermelon tits.
Giant fucking neck.
Giant arms.
I mean, literally, the guy would walk his arms like, you know, guys fake that.
This is really how he stood.
I mean, it was massively muscular.
And he went to a party one night in college.
There was these college kids.
Some college kids mouthed off to him.
He knocked out three college kids.
He was like a bull.
He would just charge at people and punch them.
He was so juiced up.
He was always angry.
Angry.
If you looked at him, you wanted to be real nice to him.
It was like being around a crazy, frothing-at-the-mouth gorilla.
Then I saw him years and years later.
Not that many years.
I was 21, so he was probably 22, and he weighed 160 pounds.
I was like, what the fuck happened?
Just got off the stuff.
He just got off of it, and his body became like a normal-sized body.
joey diaz
So do you lose all your fluid, or do you lose your muscle or something?
joe rogan
Well, he's a weird guy.
He didn't have big hands.
He wasn't like some Ernie Shavers dude.
Like you.
You're a big fucking thick guy.
He had smaller hands.
It was all steroids.
He had just taken this thing and changed the amount of muscle that his body would carry around.
It was just way more.
It was real weird.
I didn't know what the fuck he was doing until after I was out of high school.
I had no idea what was going on.
I just thought he was just a big, strong guy.
I wasn't in weightlifting.
I didn't play football.
And in Taekwondo, we didn't do any weightlifting.
We did some calisthenics, but there was no weightlifting at all.
So I had no idea what the fuck was going on with this dude's body.
But seeing him When I was 21 and seeing him just like this deflated person, I was like, this is the weirdest shit I've ever seen in my life.
But back then, no one knew what the fuck it was.
We're talking about like 1988 when I was 21. I didn't know what that meant.
I didn't understand how he got smaller.
Like, it didn't make any sense to me.
Like, I didn't know anybody that was a bodybuilder or anything.
So it was just weird.
It was just weird to see him small.
And then as I got older and started talking to people, especially when I was working at...
I was working at a Gold's Gym or Nautilus Plus.
That's what it was.
Nautilus Plus in Revere.
And I knew this dude in there who was a bodybuilder.
And he kind of schooled me on some of it.
I go, because he was huge.
And I go, do you take steroids?
And he goes, dude, fucking look at me.
What do you think?
Of course I fucking take steroids.
He was the first guy I ever met that was like super open about it.
He had these like, he would wear like those Daisy Duke shorts.
Back then bodybuilders would wear those Daisy Duke shorts.
And this kid had these fucking giant tanned legs.
They were enormous.
He was fucking huge.
brian redban
I hope that look comes back.
joe rogan
Male Daisy Dukes.
It's not even coming back for girls.
unidentified
It's over.
brian redban
Do you think there is certain clothes like that that will never come back?
joe rogan
Bell-bottoms.
brian redban
Bell-bottoms?
I could see bell-bottoms coming back.
joe rogan
They tried, but people realized it's stupid looking.
brian redban
I rocked them.
joe rogan
Yeah, you know what?
It worked back when people had long collars.
See, that's the difference.
If you want to have those long collars that they had in the 60s, you know, like those crazy jackets that you see Jefferson Starship in.
Those, and then you had platforms.
People were wearing platform shoes.
Remember those?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
So like those all worked with the bell bottom.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
But you get to like flip flops and bell bottoms.
Flip flops are, it gets annoying.
You're stepping on your bell bottoms.
They're goofy.
They get in the way.
You need stilts.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
You know what's really sad about juicing?
That people that juice for, what do you call it, aesthetics?
Not because they're athletic, but aesthetics.
joe rogan
Yeah, for the look.
joey diaz
It always ends up very bad.
Because, and I was around it, and I grew up around it, it becomes, instead of snorting coke or drinking, they go to steroids like that.
Like, the wrestler was on.
And there's one scene in the wrestling, and he goes to cop.
Did you see what he copped?
joe rogan
I didn't see that movie.
joey diaz
Okay, there's a part where he cops at the gym.
You know, he's comping fucking shit that they gave Nazis.
Like, you know, Decker, D-ball, this, that.
And you could tell it's like 2,000 bucks.
And the guy goes, what do you got right now?
And he goes, 500. He goes, yo, you give me the rest of it.
It was a bag.
If you know that world, you know that for him, that's a six-week supply.
That's a year's supply.
Then when he has his heart attack in the movie, the doctor tells him, he goes, bro, what the fuck you putting in your body?
Are you fucking kidding me?
It's a slow bet because it becomes an addiction.
I saw it.
I saw it go from once every six weeks to four cycles a year to, fuck it, I ain't getting off it, to fuck it.
I'm going to super stack.
They call it stacking.
You know, you're taking fucking four things and you're not competing.
You're just going to a bar on Friday nights.
I never got that in my head.
I never got that.
And it always ends bad.
You see those guys a year later, they have a heart attack, they get deflated, something happens, and they go to prison, and then they can't do it, and they come out, and you ask them with their tattoos all fucked up now.
It always ends bad.
unidentified
Yeah, I knew a guy who died.
joey diaz
Yes, it always, and people, you know, I watched that documentary, and we contacted each other by talking, the steroid one that doesn't harm you.
joe rogan
And I believe that.
joey diaz
Yeah, I believe that.
But I also believe that I saw, you know, you look at these guys down at the Jersey Shore.
You look at these guys in the jerseys.
They all got that little bicep.
They got time to go to the gym.
They do six curls.
They do a fucking anavar.
They go suntan.
They rub number fucking SPF number two.
And that's the result you get.
And they do sit-ups.
That's exactly what they do.
And they do diamond push-ups.
And they blow up for the summer, and then they like it.
But I'm telling you, I was part of that crew.
My friends, I remember the Chaddock driving back from the shore on Sundays, how they couldn't wait to get home because it was their second rest day.
And today was going to be the biggest day.
I'm thinking of going home, taking a shower, and going out because I'm huge.
unidentified
I'm huge today.
joey diaz
It's Sunday.
It's my second off day.
Because he keeps getting bigger and bigger.
On your second off day, Sunday, you're the biggest.
So these guys on the way home, it's my off day.
I'm going to get some pussy tonight.
My veins.
Look at my bicep from just driving.
unidentified
Fucking hilarious.
joey diaz
It becomes something else, man.
joe rogan
You know what I think it's like?
I think it's like alcohol.
Like, you could drink alcohol.
You could just have a beer at night.
You could have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner.
Or you could be that motherfucker that just gets hammered all day, every day.
And we all know that person.
We all have met a bunch of those people.
Some people just get addicted to shit.
brian redban
Day drinkers.
joe rogan
Oh, man.
There's a lot of those out there.
Especially in the entertainment business.
You know, we can do whatever the fuck you want.
Nobody can tell you what to do.
Nobody tells you what to do.
That's why you're on Periscope all day.
brian redban
It's also people that I think that do cocaine, right?
That have an addiction to cocaine drink all day because they can even their self out.
joe rogan
Supposedly.
Some people that do, you know, I've never done it, but people that have done like a lot of it will tell you that they always want to have something to calm them down afterwards, take the edge off of it.
joey diaz
I didn't snort in the daytime.
I wasn't a fucking vampire.
I snorted at night.
It would fuck my whole day up if I even did a line.
See, I wanted to have the coke ready at 8 o'clock.
But sometimes I got a gavone.
I'd have the 60 bucks early in the daytime, and I'd shoot over and get a bucket.
unidentified
What's a gavone?
joey diaz
A fucking slob.
I'd go over there and take the 60, and then I'd have to hide it in my jacket.
I'd have to sit there for four hours with just coke in my jacket, calling me in the afternoon.
So I would do a little bump and then get paranoid and jerk off, and it would fuck up my timing at night.
It would fuck up my whole day.
So I wouldn't do it in the daytime.
I was always a nighttime guy.
joe rogan
So if you did coke during the day, it would fuck up your set?
joey diaz
Everything.
It fucked up everything.
The rest of my day, my timing, because my soul wasn't intact with my central nervous system.
They were apart now.
It's apart.
When you do blowing, you go on stage.
That's why I never understood that concept.
It always made me laugh when people go, oh, you're funny because you do coke and go on stage.
Okay.
Okay, you fucking dummy.
I would freeze up.
I freeze up.
I can't talk to people when I did blow.
That's why I went in my fucking room and hid and fucking turned the phone off.
You think I did that?
Because I couldn't talk to people.
So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
brian redban
Isn't coke make you talk though?
That doesn't...
joey diaz
When I started!
When it started, you're chatty catty.
You want to talk to everybody and shit.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
But let me tell you something.
I started doing coke like in the 80s.
And I got on stage in 91 for the first time.
And in 92, I got on stage with the guys from Denver at the St. Paddy Show.
And right there was the first time I discovered cocaine on the stage at the Boulder Broker.
I did two bumps and tried to go on stage and be cute.
That shit didn't work.
I thought Richard Pryor did it.
I thought that's what Richard Pryor did.
He did coke and one on stage.
So I tried it.
That didn't work.
That was a kaputz.
joe rogan
Is anybody known to do coke and go on stage?
joey diaz
Oh, fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
brian redban
I think a lot of people do coke and go on stage.
joey diaz
And in Miami, I would do the first two shows sober.
But the third show, it takes a bull.
I had that coke in my pocket for four hours.
Enough is enough.
Enough is enough.
joe rogan
So you would do it before the third show?
joey diaz
Yeah, because I didn't care.
joe rogan
And how would it work?
joey diaz
Terrible.
Terrible.
I didn't care.
I don't give a fuck.
They knew I was coked up.
unidentified
Wow.
joey diaz
So they knew.
The people who were coked up knew and they loved it.
Oh, look at the music.
And I thought it was cute, too.
So I went back to my room and got fucked up.
But no, it never clicked to me.
I could get stoned as a motherfucker and go on stage.
Red Band, you miss Friday night.
brian redban
I know.
I heard about this.
joey diaz
You heard Friday night how I fucking almost had a nervous breakdown at the comedy store.
unidentified
Did he tell you this?
joey diaz
And I almost had a nerve...
Remember when you and your wife were asking me questions and I was fidgety?
I was having a nervous breakdown right there.
You think I'm fucking with you guys, Doug?
I don't know what happened to me Friday night.
I bombed so hard last week.
You know, sometimes you get in a transition period, and you got all these bits that aren't ready, and you bring them up, and it's like you got three of them.
So you bomb for two weeks, but all of a sudden, one night, they all come together.
Now you become a force.
Now it's a different game.
I was in that process.
For like two weeks, I was in limbo.
I had good sets in Boston, but anything I tried out of the ordinary in Boston wasn't clicking for me.
So I just stuck to the fucking original.
And then I came back to the comedy store.
I ate shit somewhere on Monday night.
I went to the comedy store Thursday, opened up with that suicide joke.
That didn't take me very far.
And then the second time, I told the story about my friend who tried to commit suicide.
She failed.
And she went up to the comedy store and she bought a gram of Coke from Chewy.
And as we were doing it, I said, you know, how did you get out of the crazy house?
Didn't you try to kill yourself three days ago?
And there was a big gram.
It was one big line.
She did the whole thing.
She looked at me and she goes, I ain't crazy.
They let me out.
That was it.
I told that story, and that one got some laughs.
And then I went in the main room, and I just died.
I had to follow Delia.
I just died.
I just died a slow death.
I was trying new stuff.
I wasn't going nowhere.
I wanted to talk about Trump, and I just died.
So Friday, I went to the store, and I swear to God, guys, I didn't eat nothing all day.
I smoked some pot.
I worked that.
I went to the Y. I did chest and the other thing.
I smoked dope.
Before I left the house, there was a little brownie.
A 70 milligram brownie.
I had like maybe 13 carbs left for the day.
I was fucking starving.
This little brownie is right there.
It was a half a pack of an anarchy edible.
They give you two brownies.
Each brownie is 70 milligrams.
joe rogan
That's so crazy.
That's so scary.
joey diaz
I rub my balls with 70 milligrams.
You understand me?
70 milligrams for Uncle Joey is like an aperitif.
It's not even a fucking appetizer.
joe rogan
But explain to the rest of the world, 70 milligrams will put you into a fucking hole.
joey diaz
Do you know I gave Lee 500 last night?
unidentified
He puked.
500?
joe rogan
Jesus Christ!
Did you say 500 milligrams?
unidentified
We split a thousand milligram edible.
joe rogan
Did you hear that Alice in Chainsaw down in a hole?
joey diaz
Oh my God.
Listen to me, Doug.
We split it at three o'clock in the afternoon.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
What are you trying to prove?
unidentified
By seven o'clock, I was so fucked up.
joey diaz
By eight o'clock.
And you know, usually when you eat, you tame that animal.
Fuck no.
This turned on me.
unidentified
This edible turned on me, dog, like a savage.
joey diaz
He beat me into submissions.
At one point, I had the cheese doodles that belongs to the baby pirate's booty.
They were on the floor.
They were just coming out of my face.
I was just stuffing it.
I was just stuffing Pirate's Booty in my face and a pear.
There was a bunch of fruit in Pirate's Booty.
I couldn't stop.
I kept eating peaches in Pirate's Booty, pears in Pirate's Booty, cantaloupe in Pirate's Booty.
I must've ate the whole, even my wife was like, because I had my back turned to them so they couldn't see me.
My wife's like, what the fuck are you doing in here?
I go, listen, I gotta go to bed.
She goes, go to bed already.
I went to bed at 8.45.
I slept till 4. I got up.
I didn't know where I was.
I just laid there for 30 minutes like Mad Max.
I just laid there all confused.
joe rogan
So you woke up at 4 in the morning and didn't know where you were?
joey diaz
So low.
At 4.30, I woke up with a ton of energy.
A ton of energy!
I went in the shower.
I washed the car.
I went for breakfast.
I went and washed the car.
My wife had tar stains.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
joey diaz
Oh, my God.
I was fucked up.
And I kept calling Lee and saying, Lee, if the cops call you, don't answer the phone.
He goes, why are the cops on the call, man?
I go, I don't know, but don't answer the phone.
joe rogan
That is so funny.
brian redban
And you just had it happen to you again, though.
You ate too much at the comedy store.
joey diaz
But last night, no.
Last night I didn't have anxiety.
Guys, this is what I'm saying to you.
70 milligrams ain't dick in my world, okay?
So I eat the 70 milligrams, I go down Laurel Canyon, I hook the right...
I go to the comedy store.
I pull up.
No drama.
I get in.
Joe's upstairs.
I don't even go upstairs because I know the room is packed.
I can't go upstairs.
So I'm alone at the comedy store.
I go into the original room.
It's packed.
I walk around a little bit.
I go into the VIP patio, and I just sit there.
Some dudes are listening to music.
Some black dudes are smoking a joint.
I mind my business.
I look straight ahead.
I'm thinking about more material I'm going to say, how I bombed.
It's just whipping me now, right?
And I'm starting to get scared.
I'm like, I really don't want to go on stage now.
Jeff comes over to me and he goes, Joey, go on stage.
I walk over.
I walk up the stairs.
It's a sold-out room.
Megan Mooney.
brian redban
Morgan Murphy.
joey diaz
Morgan Murphy's up on stage.
Megan Mooney!
Megan Mo It's like, oh my god, I'm getting an anxiety attack.
On 70 milligrams?
Not.
Not.
This can't be happening to me.
This ain't happening.
And all of a sudden, I'm standing there, and it's getting worse, guys.
It's getting worse.
Now, there's one seat open at the whole comedy store, and it's Mitzi's chair.
So I sit in there for about a minute.
She's got the blue light on.
The pressure's on.
I got water in my hand.
I get back up, and it's getting worse, guys.
I turn around, I look down to where the payphone used to be, and now I'm getting the anxiety I get when I'm getting a needle, which means I'm going down.
So I gotta look for daylight or air.
I know this.
I gotta look for air.
But I know if I go down those stairs, if she calls my name and I come back up those stairs, I'm really gonna have an anxiety attack.
So I go to the corner and I just start looking at the wall and I start breathing through my nose.
And some guy comes up to me and he's like, hey Joey, how you doing, man?
What's going on?
I go, nothing.
And I keep looking at the wall.
He gets a hint to walk away.
Then some other guy pops out and he's like, hey Joey, I'm friends and such.
And he goes, do you know where he is?
I don't give a fuck.
Don't you see me staring at a fucking walk?
Jeff comes up to me, and I go, Jeff, hold on one second, Jeff.
I'm going to faint.
I got a really bad anxiety attack.
I'm going down here.
Tell Paulie to go on stage.
And Jeff also wants to ask me questions.
He's like, do you know if Paulie's going to go up on stage?
I don't give a fuck.
He's the closest person to the fucking stage.
She's about to call my name.
And all of a sudden, he goes, well, let me go ask him.
Yeah, fucking go ask him!
unidentified
What the fuck?
joey diaz
I'm about to fucking faint, and now you're gonna do this to me?
So he walks over to Paulie, and he starts asking Paulie, and Paulie's like...
And now they're getting into, like, a conversation about it.
Instead of Paulie going, oh, he's got an anxiety attack.
Let me go up there.
I'm watching this go down.
I get so angry.
I go, fuck it, guys.
unidentified
I'm gonna go up there.
joe rogan
Did you hear what Paulie said?
joey diaz
Who the fuck knows what he said?
brian redban
What's wrong with him, buddy?
joey diaz
Instead of going, just go.
If I call you, you go, Red Bank, go up.
Red Bank, go up.
Uh...
Go up, Red Band.
I got up my anxiety.
You go, okay, Joey, and I'll worry about you later.
You okay?
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
Just go.
No, these guys are having a conversation, bureaucracy.
I got so fucking angry that I go, fuck you guys.
I'm going to go up.
And I went up there, Joe Rogan, and I had to set up my life off of fear.
unidentified
Fear.
joey diaz
I think I caught myself at the 14-minute mark, and I was like, oh my, I just yelled.
unidentified
Did you record it?
joey diaz
No.
Why would I do something like that?
You know I'm a fucking retard.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
I fucking went up there and destroyed.
You know you never hear me talking like this.
It was all on fear.
And I remember walking out of there, man, I got in that car and Paulie goes, man, you should have anxiety attacks more often than you.
I was like, man, I was fucking dying.
joe rogan
I like how you have Mitzi's voice when you do the impression of Paulie.
unidentified
Who the fuck knows?
joe rogan
That's the same voice you do when you do Mitzi.
Like all the Shores share one Joey Diaz voice.
brian redban
Joe, have you ever had that?
Where you were either too stoned or you just didn't feel good and you're about to go on stage and you almost don't think you could have done it?
joe rogan
No, I know what you're saying.
No, I've never gotten it.
But I won't take that kind of edible before I go on stage.
I've fucked up and gotten too high before I went on stage, but never so high where I'm like, I can't do this.
I can't do that.
I'm having an anxiety attack.
No.
joey diaz
But I've been higher, and that hasn't happened to me.
joe rogan
Sometimes it just catches you in the right time, especially if you have a rough set.
If you had a rough set the night before, if you're working on some new stuff and it doesn't go over right and you can't recover, I mean, we've all been there.
If you haven't been there, it's just because you haven't taken enough chances.
joey diaz
Oh, I've been there all the time.
I'm there all the time.
I'm in hell all the time.
It's just...
joe rogan
But it's like those moments after that are shaky.
Like, you know, it's a shaky one or two days, you know, sometimes.
Sometimes it's not.
Like, sometimes it makes sense and there's a reason and you can just get right back into it.
But sometimes there's like a little shaky period.
So the shaky period, that 70 milligrams was enough to whack you.
You did two 70s.
joey diaz
No, I did one 70. The other 70 was from a couple nights earlier.
joe rogan
Just for the fucking general public, 70 will fucking send you down a tornado of despair to the bottom pits of your soul.
Just to know.
Don't try to do what he's doing.
brian redban
I don't fuck around, man, with anything more than like 30. Do you think that even matters what it is, though, really?
Do you think it's that accurate where 70 is even ballpark 70?
Or maybe he just got something that had 600 in because it was like the bottom of the barrel.
joe rogan
Well, you certainly can.
You know that bit I do about it, about the guys who make that stuff.
Yeah.
brian redban
But has it gotten any better?
joe rogan
Sure, sure.
Colorado, they have it down to a science.
They're doing it in Colorado the way they would make regular cookies.
Like, if you buy, like, some, you know, like Nabisco, Chips Ahoy or some shit like that, they do them in, like, a factory.
There's not much difference between the way they're making some of these cookies.
They're having, like, these big machines and they have all these people working there.
It's pretty fucking down to a science.
They're not just, you know, throwing their own ingredients in and home cooking all this stuff.
They're making a lot of money.
They had this, like, one of those news report shows.
I forget which one.
joey diaz
60 Minutes.
joe rogan
Was it 60 Minutes?
They went to Denver and they participated.
They got high.
They got high in a fucking limo with these people and they went around to all these different places and watched these people make these things.
There's a revolution going on in Denver.
It's so off the charts there.
It's so crazy there.
You're watching this thing on television and it just starts to sink in.
They're changing the whole culture around that town.
The whole culture is going to slowly chill out.
Their violent crime rate is so low now.
Their fucking drunk driving rates are the lowest they've ever had.
It's nuts.
It's changing everything, and it's only been a year or two.
How many years has it been since it's been legal?
What's the official?
joey diaz
Maybe two years.
unidentified
Two?
joe rogan
Has it been two, Jamie?
Find out when the law went through.
But in Oregon, they're going to have weed tax-free.
Oregon's taking it to a totally new level.
brian redban
Well, I just read a report that Washington had, I think, $70 million their first year of tax revenue.
So that seems like a lot of money just to throw away.
joe rogan
That's a lot.
unidentified
Well, I agree with you.
joe rogan
I think the taxes that the Colorado imposes, which are really high, I think those are great.
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
Yeah, I agree.
joe rogan
Because it's still better than going drinking.
If you go drinking, okay, if we have a few drinks, like if I go and get us around and all four of us went out drinking, and I look at these kids' shots in a beer, that's like $100, right?
All together.
Then you got to tip the guy.
Like $200 worth of weed?
Jesus Christ!
The four of us with $200 worth of weed, we'd be fucked for a month.
joey diaz
And we could take home some.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
$200.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a lot of weed, especially if you're buying edibles.
Oh my God!
You could almost die on $200 worth of weed edibles.
I mean, if you ate them all...
What's that?
unidentified
Beginning of last year.
joe rogan
Beginning of last year.
unidentified
Voted at the end of 2012. Okay.
joe rogan
So there you go.
2012?
unidentified
Voted at the end of 2012 and started at the beginning of 2014. Oh, I see.
joe rogan
I see.
So there's a delay.
joey diaz
That is one of the, I gotta be honest with you, that is one of the funnest four days you'll have as a comic is that Denver run.
joe rogan
Oh, Denver's mean?
joey diaz
Especially if you stay downtown because you eat at Sam's, that motherfucking green chili for breakfast with those two eggs and some wheat toast and a bowl of fruit.
God damn!
joe rogan
Jesus.
joey diaz
Oh, my God!
joe rogan
I thought you were going to talk about the crowds.
joey diaz
No.
Oh, no, no.
That's part of it.
You got the weed store, and then you got the comedy work.
I mean, it's like a three...
You can't lose for three days.
I got a gym.
You cannot lose.
It's a triple fucking header.
The little weed store they got, they go out...
You go on the recreational side.
They have some strong stuff, but...
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a great spot.
joey diaz
It's a great little weekend.
joe rogan
It's one of my favorite places.
It's one of the few places I would live besides here.
joey diaz
I'll tell you what, you made me laugh because I thought about something right back.
You know what pill, when I was growing up, had a lot of mistakes with them?
What pill, like if they made 100 of them, 10 of them would always be Dud's Quaaludes.
unidentified
Really?
joey diaz
Ten of them were always duds.
joe rogan
Were they duds because it was corruption?
joey diaz
No, they were duds because the guy who was making them, his floor was lopsided.
You know what I'm saying?
And when he put them in the oven, who the fuck knows, Joe Rogan?
I don't fucking know.
He was lopsided.
unidentified
You know, like right now, this table feels like it's all warped, right?
So the chemicals go down to the end.
joey diaz
Like for every hundred...
joe rogan
That's the most ridiculous idea of how they make pills ever.
unidentified
So let's just say the power goes to this side.
joey diaz
So you need 10 biscuits and nothing would happen and people would go, oh my god, I got a dud.
That means the next one's gonna be good.
That was the philosophy around it.
But there's a different philosophy to it.
What if Cosby gave one of those duds to one of his freaks?
Did you see yesterday?
And it was a dud.
He's sitting there stroking his big black dick, waiting on them pills to hit her and shit.
unidentified
Oh my god.
joey diaz
That's a great bit.
That's it.
brian redban
What do you think that, like, he could get laid.
He could have probably almost any of the girls he wanted to drug anyways, probably.
Why do you think he did that?
joey diaz
It's part of his fruit.
It's part of his fruit.
joe rogan
I mean, we could speculate all day long, but obviously he's sick.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
Obviously.
But we kind of knew that anyway.
Not that he was sick to the extent that he is, but that he's got this, like, creepy arrogance about him.
And, you know, we played that clip once.
Or Wanda Sykes, who's, like, the sweetest person in the world, was interviewing him.
And the way she was talking to him, I guess, like, he didn't like it, so he, like, corrected her.
He corrected her, you know, her use of Ebonics or what have you.
brian redban
It's like a drama queen, kind of.
joe rogan
Just not a nice guy.
Just not a nice guy and he was wearing sunglasses.
When you're indoors and you're wearing sunglasses, unless you got glaucoma, what the fuck are you doing?
What are you doing?
Why do you have sunglasses on?
Unless you're black.
You get away with it.
Floyd Mayweather can wear sunglasses, whatever the fuck he wants.
As far as I'm concerned, he can wear sunglasses anywhere he wants.
But, you know, it's like, anybody who does that, you know what I mean?
brian redban
It's just weird because I can see where a normal person would drug it just to get laid.
It just seems like you're Bill fucking Cosby.
He's a creep.
Did he like the girl just being passed out?
Like it's dry?
He likes dry sex or something?
joe rogan
He might like to be the god.
He might like to be totally in control of their life.
He might like the idea that he tricked them.
And now they have to do his bidding while they're completely unconscious.
I don't know how unconscious they are.
Maybe they're in like a halfway dreamland where he could talk to them and they're doing stuff.
You know, like lift your legs up and they'll just do it.
And they just don't remember it.
They might just be so fucked up.
I don't understand.
joey diaz
Can I talk to you gentlemen?
There's four of us in this room.
We're all men here.
How many years have had an experience?
I mean, maybe fucking Red Band.
How many years have had an experience where you brought a woman to your room and nothing happened?
Look me in the eye and tell me the truth, gentlemen.
joe rogan
It happens.
joey diaz
Okay, so let's just, with four gentlemen here, let's be honest.
So we're at 80%.
If you bring a woman to your hotel room, eight out of ten times you're gonna fuck her guys.
Tell me the truth.
We're just guys and him taking a poll.
joe rogan
It depends.
It's probably...
joey diaz
Red man, you're a nice guy.
Sometimes you bring him over to get high and they get naked for you and put dildos in their pussy.
I'm talking about, you know, you're a nice guy.
joe rogan
It depends entirely on the individual.
When you're a guy like Bill Cosby, he's a superstar, multi-millionaire.
joey diaz
How many of the women are going to go to this room without sucking his dick?
Let's be honest.
joe rogan
Not a whole lot of them.
joey diaz
All of them are gonna go into that room, whether they're married or...
Half of those bitches got a different story also, okay?
He drugged you because you were alone with him in a fucking room.
He had plans.
I'm not blaming them, but we're men here.
We're men.
You know, when you go into a man's hotel room or his trailer...
You know, what the fuck?
So he had time to put a pill into your thing.
He's a dirty motherfucker.
Let's get that out of the way because he enjoys that faint woman.
That woman that's half dead and you're like, that's what he enjoys.
That's his freak.
Some people steal bodies from cemeteries.
Some people want to get jerked off with their feet.
That was his freak.
I had a friend who was, after a while, he was doing hookers, and he said they would jerk him off with his feet because he was scared of the hiv.
So he'd just have him jerk him off with his feet.
joe rogan
With their feet.
joey diaz
With their feet.
I wouldn't do that either.
That's just his worst.
joe rogan
Hooker feet.
joey diaz
Hooker, dirty feet, concrete and sperm.
That shit don't mix.
Let's face it.
He took those women to his room.
joe rogan
Eddie Bravo has a real interesting take on this.
He had a real good take on this and there was another guy that got charged for it.
Was it like CeeLo Green guy was giving girls ecstasy or something like that?
brian redban
Yes, CeeLo Green was giving Molly.
joe rogan
And Eddie was talking about like what it must be like to be like a really famous guy who's really rich, but you're also like maybe not the most attractive guy in the world, you know?
So like maybe some of them they want to get to know you, but then when you want them to like be sexually attracted to you, it doesn't happen.
And so if you're a creep You start drugging them.
And that's what Eddie was proposing.
He was saying, like, maybe he just got tired of them saying no, and he thought he was better than them, and just dropped it in.
I forget exactly Eddie's words, but I hadn't considered it like that.
I hadn't thought about it like that.
Like, maybe they're not all saying yes.
I mean, maybe it is a weird thing with them, where it got, like, really frustrating, and then he just decided to do it.
Or is it possible...
That maybe this was like a much more prevalent and accepted thing in the circles that he was running in in like the 1960s?
Is it possible that people, like you would talk about people giving people a mickey or he did a joke about Spanish fly, Spanish fly joke.
Is it possible that more people were doing this back then and we're just finding out about it now?
brian redban
I don't know, because, I mean, the Slipping the Mickey thing was totally...
I mean, and the Spanish Fly thing was almost common.
Like, people talked about it almost...
unidentified
Talked about it.
brian redban
Like, on The Tonight Show, I think, Bill Cosby talked about it.
Like, you know, and it seemed like it was more accepted, but...
joe rogan
Was it...
They weren't aware?
Was it like...
But I don't know anybody who got, like, in the 60s or 70s, who got a Mickey slipped into them.
It's like, why was that such a common expression?
joey diaz
Charles Bronson never did it.
James Colbert never did it.
Steve McQueen never did it.
Fucking Burt Reynolds never did it.
Can you do me a favor, Burt Reynolds?
I wanted to show Joe Rogan something.
Can you get me the beginning of the longest yard?
I want to show Joe Rogan how much times have changed.
joe rogan
You know what?
It's really dark.
There's something real dark about it.
Like, you can imagine, like, what is...
Just what is...
What's going on?
What is his essence?
You know, what is his soul?
He's doing that.
brian redban
Was there a movie that made it look sexy back in the day, like a James Bond?
Like, oh, I got some Spanish fly.
It seems like I remember there was some kind of...
joe rogan
No, you know what there was a movie, though?
Animal House, where he had to decide whether or not to do the right thing or the wrong thing.
Remember, the lady blacked out?
joey diaz
Yes, with the devil on his shoulders, yes.
joe rogan
And the angel was saying, hey, you know, she's blacked out.
The devil's like, fuck her.
Suck her tits.
Fuck her.
And, you know, he couldn't figure out what to do.
Like, you probably couldn't even do that movie today.
brian redban
Yeah.
You could rape her or you should not rape her.
joe rogan
But as a joke, you can't.
I mean, it's one thing if this was a...
You can obviously have a horrific rape scene if it's like a drama, right?
But if it's a comedy and you're joking around about rape, you can't have that.
No one will accept that today.
joey diaz
What's the last rape scene that made you uncomfortable?
joe rogan
There's always rape scenes that make you uncomfortable, but what I'm saying is that you couldn't have a joke about potentially raping a girl like Animal House.
You could have a horrible scene in a realistic show, but where the devil's on your shoulder in a comedy going, fucker, fucker!
Like, whoa!
I don't think you could do that today.
joey diaz
Well, watch this for a second.
Jamie, did you find me?
It's in there.
It's in there.
Opening scene from the original Longest Yard.
Watch this.
You're going to die.
You're going to say they could not do this in a fucking movie.
And to top it off, you got Leonard Skinner on.
joe rogan
This is the original Longest Yard.
joey diaz
The original Longest Yard.
The first scene in the Longest Yard is so fucking off color that it could not be done today.
We just watched it by mistake one day and we're like...
Oh my god, that's fucking bad.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
I never, listen, I ran in those circles.
I'm going to look you guys in the face.
I never heard of people spiking girls.
That would not be acceptable where I came from.
That would not be fucking acceptable.
Don't get me wrong.
I've gotten chicks coked up to the gills to suck my dick.
But they're awake.
And I had an intention.
You know what I'm saying?
They felt bad the next day, but they did the blow.
You do the devil, you got to drink the cider.
You know what I'm saying?
If you do the devil...
Watch this, guys.
This is just...
joe rogan
Crank it.
unidentified
I think love is going out of our relationship.
Bastard.
My Maserati.
joe rogan
This is a terrible movie.
joey diaz
Watch this, though.
unidentified
I told you not to touch my goddamn car!
joey diaz
You can't do that today.
He's high gouging shit.
This is terrible.
joe rogan
Dude, this is so bad.
unidentified
This is 1973. I can't believe how bad it is.
brian redban
This is drinking in the garden.
joe rogan
That's what people did back then.
joey diaz
Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you fucking kidding me?
brian redban
Chewing gum.
joe rogan
Smiling.
brian redban
Chewing gum while drinking.
joe rogan
What kind of shitbox is he driving though?
unidentified
That's a Maserati in 1973. That's what a Maserati looked like?
joey diaz
That you just said, don't touch my Maserati.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
Isn't that funny?
unidentified
That that could be like a cool car?
joe rogan
And the cops are now coming after him?
While he's drinking.
He throws it in the backseat.
unidentified
Oh my god.
joey diaz
Of his life, guys.
joe rogan
He's outrunning the cops with his Maserati here.
unidentified
This is hilarious.
joe rogan
They're in a go-kart race.
That car is such a shitbox.
unidentified
Look at it.
brian redban
My dad had that car.
joe rogan
Your dad had that car?
brian redban
I think so.
I think he had the old one.
joe rogan
Giant, big, goofy American cars chasing it.
unidentified
These cars handle so bad.
They're not too hot.
joe rogan
Pretty goddamn good chasing, though.
unidentified
I don't think...
This is so ridiculous.
joe rogan
Well timed.
unidentified
Oh! Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Goddamn.
Boom.
brian redban
Probably should call off the car chase, huh?
joey diaz
Listen, guys, the car chases in those days were so tough.
When you see that movie with McQueen and they're chasing him in San Francisco with their Mustang, that was so much tougher to drive that car.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
joey diaz
That shit now, today, it's easy.
This is when you had to be a fucking monster.
joe rogan
Yeah, these cars are dog shit.
Like, look how skinny his tires are.
You see how skinny those tires are?
There's, like, no traction on those fucking things.
The mechanical grip is nothing.
joey diaz
Look at this guy.
joe rogan
Oh my goodness.
unidentified
This bad motherfucker tearing shit up in this country in 73. This is before Cannibal Ron, right?
joey diaz
Yeah, this is when he was still a fucking savage.
joe rogan
I like how the trunk magically closes again.
joey diaz
But watch this now.
joe rogan
He's still listening to the same song.
Fuck yeah!
joey diaz
He hit rewind and shit on the 8-track.
Look at the cigarettes he smokes, too.
unidentified
He ain't fucking around, guys.
joey diaz
This was him.
Again, this was a different America.
This was him against Clint Eastwood, against Charles Bronson, against James Coburn.
You had to do this crazy type shit, smack bitches and shit to get attention.
joe rogan
Look at the pants he's got on.
How did you do that?
Because he doesn't want them to catch him.
Don't you understand, Brian?
brian redban
No, but how did he put the gas?
joe rogan
Back then, those cars were dog shit.
unidentified
You could just fucking press a button and go into the water.
brian redban
Forward button.
joey diaz
Then he goes to the bar, and the cops come in, and he's sitting there fucking hammered.
And they're like, step away from the bar, and the little guy goes, why'd you throw a car in the ocean?
He goes, because it needed a car wash.
joe rogan
Jamie, put on the chase scene from Bullet.
I watched Bullet this year.
I was up in Canada and it was on TV. You gotta sit there and go.
It was so good.
joey diaz
What the fuck were they thinking?
joe rogan
I watched it from the beginning to the end.
It was great.
brian redban
What the fuck were they thinking?
joe rogan
Bullet, Steve McQueen, top movie.
In San Francisco, and they have a crazy scene with a 68 Mustang where McQueen is chasing this guy.
This guy's chasing him in a Dodge Charger.
Oh, it's one of the all-time great car scenes.
Look at this shit.
The guy's got this gigantic Dodge Charger, and he's got this dope 68 Mustang, which for cars back then, handled really goddamn good.
I mean, that was a lightweight car with a good amount of power, but, you know, there are drum brakes and shitty suspension.
And so these guys are driving around the corners in these cars.
unidentified
It's fed up.
Is it sped up?
It is a little sped up, huh?
joey diaz
Look at this poor bat.
This is when you were a stuntman now.
This guy's in the hospital.
Fuck Tate.
unidentified
This guy got a thousand stitches and shit.
joey diaz
That's when you fucking were a stuntman.
They didn't have pads or nothing.
You did it with Wranglers on.
joe rogan
How much of Steve McQueen's own driving did he do?
joey diaz
I don't know.
joe rogan
How much in the movie?
Because he's obviously doing some of it.
He could drive his ass off.
joey diaz
Yeah, he could drive his ass off.
joe rogan
He used to race.
joey diaz
Did he do another movie?
He played...
What was the name of the movie?
joe rogan
Le Mans.
joey diaz
Le Mans.
joe rogan
He played Le Mans.
That's a great movie.
joey diaz
I forgot all about that one.
That's a great movie.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And it's another movie that for like 10 minutes, nobody says a word.
That's the thing about this chase scene.
One of the craziest things about it is how well orchestrated it is, how cool it is.
Look at that skinny ass bitch.
joey diaz
Joe Rogan, this would not work today.
People would walk out of this movie and...
joe rogan
They have no attention span anymore.
joey diaz
Not me, but today the attention span.
joe rogan
For a big-time movie, for sure.
People are used to these smash cuts, and they're used to MTV-style editing.
Music videos are like the champions of quick editing.
Eddie Bravo, again, explain that to me.
He was talking to me about how they make music videos.
If you ever notice, they're constantly switching angles, constantly changing the way it looks.
He goes, you don't have a static image for like 60 seconds, you know, like someone standing there.
He goes, that's really rare.
Most of the time, like, especially pop songs, they're constantly trying to move the image around to keep you interested in it.
But this movie, like, look, we're watching this guy load shells into his shotgun for like 20 seconds.
They set everything up in a different way.
joey diaz
At the beginning of the mechanic, there's not a word for the first 14 minutes.
He just watches the guy and sets him up.
Same thing.
You're sitting there going, what's going on in here?
joe rogan
They're fucking up that Dodge Charger.
Between this movie and the Dukes of Hazzard, more people fucked up Dodge Chargers.
It hurts my soul.
Watch the Dukes of Hazzard and watch that fucking car make a jump and watch the frame bend.
And then they just drive away.
And you know that the car that they jumped with is not the car they're driving with.
joey diaz
They put a kit on it, correct?
joe rogan
Well, you know, they just got a bunch of them, and they just broke a bunch of them, but they did have some fake ones, too, like some other cars with, like, a Charger body shell that they would sacrifice.
joey diaz
Well, Miami Vice, all those cars were just kits.
joe rogan
Yeah, oh, for those Ferraris and stuff.
joey diaz
Don Johnson's was a kit.
joe rogan
That was a fucking testarosa.
Was it really?
It was a kit?
It wasn't a real Testarossa?
No kidding.
Wow.
I've seen a Miata that somebody turned into a Testarossa.
No, not a Miata.
I'm sorry.
A Fiero.
Remember those Fieros?
Pontiac Fiero?
My sister had one of those.
brian redban
My ex-girlfriend.
joey diaz
The trade-in value on those was Ugats.
When you brought those back, there were like 800 people with crack right there like a statue.
I paid $8,000.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
I forgot about that scene.
The guy loses the car and goes right into the gas station and it blows up.
Oh, he almost lost it.
brian redban
Remember kit cars?
I almost got a kit car.
joe rogan
They still have them.
brian redban
Do they?
joe rogan
I was looking in the back of one of those Hot Rod magazines and they had this kit car thing.
It was like not that much money either for the kit.
And you put it together yourself.
I think you have to put an engine in it.
You have to do the whole thing.
But some people actually do that.
They actually build their own cars.
brian redban
Yeah.
For my first car when I was 15, that was one of my options.
It was to get an Army kit car where you could build your own Army Jeep.
unidentified
Right, right.
joey diaz
The Jeeps, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
You get the Jeeps for $250 and put it on a different frame or something crazy.
Yeah, it was advertised.
brian redban
It's like back in comic books.
joey diaz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
I think there's a car.
I think it's called the Noble.
I think it's called.
But it's a car.
I think it's from England.
And they ship it over here.
It's this beautiful, crazy-looking sports car.
They ship it over here with no engine.
And you have to get an engine put in it.
So it's not really...
I mean, they don't consider it a car when you buy it.
And that's how they can sell it to you.
Because it's not...
It doesn't have all the...
It doesn't pass all the regulations that you need.
joey diaz
You know how to do that?
Is Maserati an Italian car?
joe rogan
Yes.
joey diaz
When they were shipping cars over in the 70s, they had to take the engines out and shit, so the mafia couldn't steal the cars.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
Yeah.
They also, when they sent Italian shoes over, after a while, they would just send cargoes with right shoes, and then cargoes with left shoes, because like that, they wouldn't get robbed.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
joey diaz
Fucking hilarious.
They would rob the fucking, you know, the fucking docks of the Italian shoes.
joe rogan
Well, the docks have always been known as one of the places for organized crime, right?
On the waterfront with Marlon Brando.
My buddy Joe Lake, we were talking about, he was a teamster.
He was a longshoreman.
And, you know, a longshoreman, like, that whole world has always been, like, depicted in movies as being, like, organized crime headquarters.
They meet down by the docks, you know?
There's always, like, people like that, you know, that are, like, the rough, hard tumble, hard scrabble people.
joey diaz
Lone sharks.
Everything goes on.
You can buy jackets.
Anything that comes off those files.
I have a friend till this day.
I talked to him yesterday.
He still drives cars.
Off the ships.
That's what he does for a living.
joe rogan
Wow.
So the ships come in with like Hondas and shit?
joey diaz
42 fucking dollars an hour plus overtime, since he was in high school.
joe rogan
Oh, this is what I was going to ask you earlier, but I didn't want to interrupt your story.
Do they grow heroin in other countries?
I don't even know if you know the answer to this.
But they grow it in other countries because they can't grow it here?
Or do they grow it in other countries because it's not financially viable here?
joey diaz
I think the poppy seed...
Well, listen, let me tell you something.
If any drug dealer could grow poppy seeds here and eliminate the travel, they would have done it by now.
joe rogan
But would they have?
What I'm thinking is...
unidentified
Absolutely.
joey diaz
Anybody who could cut that cost out and eliminate that whole fucking journey every time...
joe rogan
I think you need a lot of land.
I think it's one of those things that would be really hard to do indoors.
Because I think it's something that they do, like when they make heroin, you need a lot of land to make a smaller amount of heroin than you would think.
joey diaz
Poppy seeders comes from, heroin comes from the poppy plant, correct?
And I think it's high up.
It's like coca leaves.
Why don't they grow coca leaves here?
Are you fucking kidding?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's exactly the same question I was going to ask.
joey diaz
Why don't they grow coca leaves here?
But I heard now that that's a big...
It's a market now.
People are importing coca leaves.
People in Beverly Hills now are having coca leaves parties with cigars.
joe rogan
Well, you chew those coca leaves.
They're supposed to be great.
joey diaz
And you smoke a cigar and drink wine and people get fucked up.
That's the rumor.
Like 300 of the leaf.
I don't know what the deal is.
I've never eaten no fucking leaves.
I would.
joe rogan
The people in the high altitude in Peru, they have bags of these things they take with them.
It's really kind of freaky to watch.
They pack their mouths with it, and they have like a squirrel-sized lump on the side of their face, and they just chew these leaves.
joey diaz
It's like fucking chewing tobacco, only cocoa leaves.
joe rogan
Except it's actually kind of healthy for you.
joey diaz
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's not bad for you.
joey diaz
Well, that's before you had to get...
What was I... There's a fucking new drug.
Did you see this?
This crocodile...
joe rogan
Yeah, it's been around for a while.
joey diaz
What the fuck is this where they take a Dilata and they process it to something else?
They put two drugs in this.
Gasoline and red sulfur.
That should tell you right there.
That's not the drug for me.
Right or wrong?
When you put gasoline and then it eats the skin?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's causing necrosis.
joey diaz
How fucking high could this get you?
joe rogan
I think it starts out when they just have like a little bit of, you know, like a bruised area or fucked up area and then they just get hooked on shooting it in and they keep shooting in that spot and it keeps getting worse and worse and it's just not getting better and then it starts really going downhill and then they get super depressed and they keep shooting it in there.
I think it's a real bad drug, real dangerous scary drug and apparently they're doing it when they can't get heroin.
That's how a lot of it got started.
We read online.
But the images, if they're correct, if those are real images of people's bones poked out of their skin, that really is true.
That's spooky as fuck.
When your bones are exposed, you got a problem.
joey diaz
It's a problem.
joe rogan
It's a real problem.
joey diaz
I used to snort coke with a guy while he was talking to you.
He'd have to get the straw and then put like a paperclip in his nose because the skin had collapsed.
So we'd have to pick the skin up, put the dollar in there, and then snort it.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
joey diaz
And this was an 85. I can't, now he's missing his nose.
Like he ain't even breathing no more.
That was an 85 the last time I snorted with that guy.
And he would have to pick up the wall from his nose.
joe rogan
Jamie, find out why they don't grow cocaine in the United States.
joey diaz
Can you imagine that shit?
jamie vernon
Someone on the message board says it takes an acre of cocoa leaves to make a kilo, so they need, like, slave labor to collect and process.
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
That does make some sense.
joey diaz
Listen, brother, they could do it here.
They would have done it.
Trust me, Tonya.
They had the financing.
They've had the fucking money.
unidentified
They could have hid it back then, right?
joey diaz
No, they can't do it.
There's a reason why they can't do it here.
It's about the altitude.
There's something in the soil.
That's the reason.
Both of those things.
If not, some drug dealer would have hired a chemist and said, bring it over here.
Some Chinese guy, okay, with tons of loot would have got another genius Chinese guy 30 years ago and said, teach us how to grow this shit in Jersey.
And that's it.
It would have eliminated everything.
But there's some reason why.
You know, you just can't.
They made synthetic heroin, yeah.
But you need that Chinese white shit.
On this coast, they have the Mexican Natar.
That shit you just shoot and you smoke.
But on the East Coast, that white powder is what the suburban kids like.
That's what the models get hooked on because it's two bumps and you're done.
You're done.
It's lights out.
And now they're making it purer than ever.
joe rogan
Because it's coming from Afghanistan?
joey diaz
This next war, this last war, when this started after 9-11, this picked up heroin again.
It started coming in here again, especially in the Detroit area.
Detroit is not as fucked up as it is because it's fucked up.
It's because they just threw heroin in there.
They couldn't fucking handle it, man.
And the same thing happened in Newark, New Jersey.
It happened in a couple fucking areas that I know about because I have friends that shoot fucking heroin.
And they tell you this and you're like, hmm, that's interesting that this happened after 9-11.
joe rogan
Wow.
joey diaz
So...
joe rogan
Well, I mean, the production of heroin has gone through the roof in Afghanistan.
joey diaz
Through the roof.
joe rogan
You know, and there's all sorts of reasons why they have excuses why they let them do it, or why it's happening, or why, you know, the army helps them.
joey diaz
So pills are at their all-time highest, and heroin's at their all-time highest.
Who's doing this shit?
joe rogan
But where are they making the pills from?
Do they need actual heroin to make those pills?
Do they need poppy seeds?
joey diaz
They need something.
joe rogan
They need poppies to make?
joey diaz
Some of it is probably synthetic.
brian redban
Yeah, it's probably all synthetic, right?
joe rogan
But what does that mean, though?
Like, where are they getting the compounds to put it together?
Like, where does it come from?
I mean, they have to have, like, a raw version of something that turns into heroin, right?
I mean, when you say synthetic, it's not like you press a 3D printer and heroin comes out.
There has to be things that they, like, a lot of pharmaceuticals, we think of them as pharmaceuticals, but a lot of them, they're actually getting some of the chemicals from plants.
You know, that's one of the reasons why they mine the rainforest.
They're always looking for different plants that they can exploit and they can make pharmaceutical drugs out of.
brian redban
It's kind of like, I remember when I was a hippie, a lot of people had synthetic peyote.
And I don't know what that even means, but I think they just took the compounds, whatever makes, you know, real peyote and just recreate it in a lab somehow.
You know, it's like...
Isn't it like ingredients?
joe rogan
Well, there was a story that I read about Coca-Cola.
Because Coca-Cola uses real coca leaves.
joey diaz
Right.
joe rogan
Real coca leaves.
joey diaz
Still today?
joe rogan
Still today.
They use real coca leaves.
And they don't have cocaine in them anymore.
What they do is they get these coca leaves and they bring them to this medical cocaine supply That's right.
joey diaz
And they take the coke out, sell that to New Jersey, a company in New Jersey, and they put it into pills and medicine.
joe rogan
They put it into medicine.
joey diaz
You're right.
unidentified
Absolutely right.
joe rogan
So that's all coming from coca leaves, which is really crazy.
You wouldn't have thought that.
You would have thought that synthetic cocaine or lidocaine or whatever the fuck it is that they're using, whatever versions of medical grade cocaine that they use, you would have thought somehow or another that's coming from chemicals.
That's what we would think.
It's synthetic.
We always like to say shit like that.
But what does that mean?
Like there's got to be like raw compounds that are used to make this stuff.
Where are those coming from?
joey diaz
It's coming from the origin.
I think synthetic means they take some of the origin and they put other shit in it to match and they make it cheaper for you.
It's like when you go to the store now and you go, hi, I'm here to pick up my medication.
They go, well, we wanted to ask you a question.
Do you want the original OxyContin or do you want Melocontin, which is the same, only made in Switzerland, but instead of $80, the prescription is $28.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
So I shouldn't say synthetic heroin, synthetic opiates.
Where do synthetic opiates come from?
Derived from opium.
Well, there's a bunch that are derived from opium.
Wow, that's a fucking nutty list.
Morphine, codeine, heroin, t-bane, and aurepivine.
Huh.
I didn't know.
Codeine, heroin, heroin, and morphine.
How similar are they?
unidentified
It's like the same.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
That's what I've heard.
jamie vernon
I mean, I don't use them, obviously, but I've heard.
joe rogan
If that's true, then I've done heroin.
unidentified
They're cousins.
joey diaz
They're like the gay cousins.
joe rogan
I was on a morphine drip when I got my knee operated on my first time.
It was amazing.
Oh, my God.
I kept hitting that button.
You hit the button whenever you want.
This is like 1993. They didn't regulate you.
So I was lying in this bed.
My knee was killing me.
And I'd hit that button.
It would be like NyQuil.
Like taking NyQuil.
Like clip, clip.
brian redban
Wow.
That's probably what heroin's like.
joe rogan
It's pretty sweet.
brian redban
Let's do it.
joe rogan
So I've done it.
So there you go.
I've done heroin.
I didn't even think I did but then I remembered that one night that I had to stay in the hospital and I had my ACL reconstructed.
That's why they had me there and it was done with a patella tendon graft.
That's how they did it back then.
That was a good way to do it.
Sometimes they still do it that way today.
They're taking a chunk of bone off my knee and a chunk of bone off my shin and a sliver of my patella tendon.
And then they open you up like a fish, screw this piece of meat and use the bone piece that they cut out of the shin and the bone piece that they cut out of the kneecap and then they reconstruct the knee.
And it hurts like a motherfucker, dude.
unidentified
Woo!
joe rogan
It's like lightning bolts shooting.
Whenever you cut into bone and drill.
The other one that I had done, I had done with a cadaver, like way easier.
I mean, like almost nothing.
You know Matt Lichtenberg.
I went to his birthday party five days after the operation.
Just walked.
I was fine.
Like, you know, I had a brace on it.
I didn't want to hurt myself.
But I didn't need crutches.
I could get around.
Like, it's totally different than the patella tendon graft.
Your leg blows up like a fucking balloon.
But I'm lying in bed, and they have me on this continuous motion machine.
From the moment you come out of the operating room, they put you on the...
They don't want your leg to stiffen up, because then it's really hard to get it...
Get moving again.
You know, once you get really rigid, you know, the trauma sets in and it's really difficult to straighten your leg out.
So right away they have you on this thing.
It's like...
So not only are you in agony, but your leg is on this continual machine.
Morphine is commonly related to morphine sulfate.
Heroin is diacetylmorphine.
That is, heroin is simply morphine with an acetyl molecule attached.
Acetyl?
Acetyl.
Acetylmorph molecule attached.
So it's basically the same shit.
brian redban
Yeah, and that molecule just does it faster.
joe rogan
Yeah, in terms of the effects, they're exactly the same.
And medically interchangeable, except for the dosage.
In fact, they're both converted to the same form of morphine when they get into the body.
Fascinating.
Thank you, young James.
joey diaz
It's all this, you know, when you have surgery, it's all, when they give you that shit.
joe rogan
They're giving you heroin.
Isn't that amazing?
joey diaz
They're giving you H, man.
joe rogan
You know?
joey diaz
In a different form.
It's not the street level, but it's a form of what you're getting high.
It's tremendous.
Who doesn't like that high?
joe rogan
My friend's mom had cancer, and she went through all the channels, and she was on her way out, and she decided to go out on her own by taking all her morphine.
She just said, look, what a beautiful way to do it.
Just do it like this.
She took it all.
They were giving her something for pain, and I guess she had enough to stop the picker.
And she just said, it's enough.
She's like, I'm wasting away.
She goes, there's no hope.
It's over.
Her body, it was over.
It was like the last few days.
But that's how she decided to do it.
You gotta respect that, you know?
Like, the fact that that's illegal.
You know, I know it would be abused.
I know it could be abused by people that want to kill people.
You know, oh my mom wanted to go.
You know, you could...
You could run into those type of people that would actually kill a family member to get some money from the will, kill a wife, you know, those kind of things.
But I think that still, for someone who's dying, man, for your mom or something like that, when it's the last days and you've got to watch her just in agony constantly with no light at the end of the tunnel, you know, she's 90 years old or whatever the hell she is, like, fuck, man.
Like, you gotta have a heart, man.
That shit should be legal.
You should be able to do that.
In some places it is, right?
It's legal in Oregon.
Like, there was that one girl that was trying to do that.
She moved to Oregon.
Did she do it?
brian redban
Yeah, she ended up delaying it a couple days, and then she did it.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Whew!
It's crazy shit, man.
joey diaz
I think you gotta be there to really make a decision on that one, you know?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Some people get tired of fighting.
You get weary from the illness just draining you and then the chemotherapy drains you sometimes even further and it's hard.
The last days.
What's amazing is how many people benefit from CBDs from marijuana and how few people are getting it.
The more I read about this and the more I talk to people that have had it and talk to people that have loved ones that have tried it on cancer and had incredible results.
It just drives me nuts.
It's just so hard to believe that that stuff is still demonized, that people are still pretending that it's one of the worst things that society can make legal.
If it only did that with cancer, forget about the getting high part.
If it only did that for cancer, do you know how magical that drug would be?
It's got this creepy past.
It's like a stripper that wrote the most amazing book, but nobody wants to listen to it because she used to be a stripper.
Marijuana has this seedy part to it.
And that seedy part keeps people from recognizing the textile use, the uses as a commodity, the use for making houses, the use for food.
Like if it was just all those things and didn't get people high, it would be our all-time favorite plant.
It would be the number one plant in the world.
We would be using it all the time.
They say that this hempcrete, have you ever heard of hempcrete, concrete they make with hemp?
It's supposed to be some of the most durable, lightweight, fire-resistant insulation.
It's great insulation properties.
And it's made out of hemp.
And you can make it cheap.
It doesn't cost a lot of money to grow hemp.
They just can't grow it.
You can't even get high from this shit.
It's really crazy if you stopped and thought about it.
If it was a plot in a movie, if there was something that was as powerful as the marijuana plant, it was something that had so many benefits, And it was somehow or another kept illegal.
And somehow or another, the propaganda kept people thinking that it would be one of the worst things for a society if they were to make this legal.
You would lose your fucking mind.
You would go, this movie's stupid.
Like, this movie's dumb.
People would riot.
They wouldn't, they wouldn't, come on.
You got something that cures epilepsy in kids?
Little kids that have epilepsy?
Have you seen any different fucking kids have benefited from Johnny Rotten.
Yeah, our buddy Johnny.
His kid was having all sorts of seizures.
He moves up to Seattle, gets him on the medical marijuana program.
Boom.
Goes away.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Goes away, gets a hundred times better, and the kid starts communicating.
brian redban
Changed his life.
Changed that kid's life.
joe rogan
Fuck, man.
It's just weird.
It's one of the weirdest parts about being alive in 2015 is that there's so many improvements going on.
There's so much fascinating shit happening in our culture, and yet this one thing is like this holdout.
This clawing thing that clings to the sword.
joey diaz
It's not that.
It's the people's reaction that gets me still.
Like, I'm the type of guy that, you know what, man?
I didn't eat sushi until 1995, but I came around.
You know, when I was in New York, fuck, you were raw fish.
You know what I'm saying?
Raw fish.
You know?
What the fuck?
But then one day I came around.
I never said I hated sushi.
I just said it wasn't for me at the time.
And then you listen to a fucking moron like Governor Christie who just aggravates me.
It aggravates me that this guy is running for president.
This fucking year's president fucking list is horrible.
Thank God.
I'm happy I got felonies.
unidentified
You're happy.
joey diaz
You don't have to vote.
You're like, these motherfuckers, from the Cuban dude to Christie, we're in bad shape, though.
joe rogan
Christie's ridiculous.
joey diaz
We're in bad shape.
joe rogan
He's a ridiculous person.
joey diaz
He's a ridiculous person.
joe rogan
He's so ridiculous.
joey diaz
Oh, my God.
I can't.
I'm so happy I don't live in Jersey, man.
I'm so fucking happy.
joe rogan
But you know what?
He's so mocked.
I just, I can't imagine him ever, and he's got that whole bridge thing that's going to hold him back.
He's not going to get enough, but what he will do in doing this is raise his public profile, and maybe he's pretty good at debating.
He's pretty good at talking.
And maybe if he has these conversations in front of America, the way he's been having them in New Jersey, maybe in a big public forum like presidential debates, it could be kind of interesting.
It could be interesting to hear him talk.
Because as moronic as he is, he's still a very good talker.
I disagree with a lot of the shit that he says.
But I've got to respect the fact that the guy knows how to communicate.
Sometimes that's all you need in this goofy-ass world.
Somebody writes you a good juicy script.
You have a bunch of people behind you.
They give you a little makeover.
They tried to do that with him.
They got him on that fucking belly band, but somehow or another it didn't work.
Like, he's still big, right?
I mean, he did get on that, right?
Find out if he did that, because that's ridiculous.
joey diaz
This is the way I look at it.
I grew up in Northern New Jersey.
I grew up in politicians' homes.
And I know that to be a politician in New Jersey, somewhere along the line, you gotta take an envelope.
And when you're running for president, it's pretty tough to take an envelope and people have to fucking raise their hand.
It's like Donald Trump.
When he raised his hand, I could not believe it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
Just on what he did in New York in the 80s.
You know, if that guy even moves...
joe rogan
What did he do in New York?
joey diaz
In New York in the 80s, when he was building all those things...
joe rogan
Hold on a second.
Once the rants start going, don't pull it up.
joey diaz
In the 80s, when he was doing all that developing...
Okay?
He shut up.
Like Rogan Construction.
Okay?
Rogan Construction was started by your...
I'm just making a name.
joe rogan
Right.
unidentified
Okay.
joey diaz
Okay?
Rogan Construction was a company started by your grandpa in Newark and his two brothers, and then he hired their sons, and now they have 12 full-time employees, and they've been putzing along since 1948, doing new construction and houses and remodels, but whatever.
They're keeping their lights on.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
And all of a sudden, a GC comes in, who's a general contractor on this job, who's somebody like fucking Trump.
And he hires people like Rogan Construction and Search Electric and, oh God, it's fucking plumbing.
unidentified
Oh God.
joey diaz
Suck my dick concrete.
You know, whatever the fuck the name of the company is.
joe rogan
Somebody make a t-shirt quickly.
joey diaz
And they would stiff him.
And all these companies went out of business.
All that construction he did in New York and New Jersey in the 80s was very suspect.
Number two, before he raised his hand, I hope, I hope that he's this intelligent.
Let me get that water, my brother.
I'm sorry to fuck up your little...
I hope that he called a congressman or a governor or somebody in Colorado and he said, how buried is Sammy the Bull Gravano?
Can he get to TMZ? Can he get to a phone?
Because all those deals he had going on in the 80s, he was in bed with the mafia.
It doesn't take a fucking genius to tell you that.
Okay, a dumpster, the one that Johnny Reed fell in when he tried to commit suicide, you know those dumpsters you guys see?
A square dumpster?
To get one in Colorado in 1987 was $200 for the day.
You know what that same dumpster was in New York in 1987?
$2,200.
That's how high the construction costs were.
Some of it were the mafia tax.
joe rogan
Well, there was a lot of organized crime.
joey diaz
Tons of organized crime.
So somewhere along the line, this Trump was in bed with organized crime.
joe rogan
Had to be.
joey diaz
Had to be.
The Trump Plaza, Atlantic City.
Just look at the locations.
joe rogan
I never thought of this.
joey diaz
I always thought of this.
I always knew this idiot did not, could not raise his fucking hand.
And if anybody is smart, go to the Sammy the Bull book.
He talks about it not so many ways.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
So I guarantee the feds have their files.
And as soon as this guy moves up a little bit, they're going to go...
Take a look at this.
This is what Sammy the Bull told us.
How can we take care of this?
A donation to the fucking...
The Buffon Ghoul Company of fucking blind kids.
Whatever the fuck it takes.
Because this guy was the major contractor in New York in the 80s.
All these small businesses, he put their lights out.
You know how I know?
I'll tell you how I know for a fact.
When I got locked up, one of the conditions of me getting out was I had to get a job.
To alleviate the state of Colorado, my attorney came up with this paperwork.
Listen, if you let him out, he'll leave.
Not next week.
Not tomorrow.
We got a plane for him.
As soon as he gets out of your fucking jail, we'll take him out of New Jersey.
We'll get him back to New Jersey.
But to do all this, I have a promise of employment.
And I called around New Jersey and my friend's uncle had a window, door, trim, sash company.
You know, all this shit for your door.
That's a sash on the bottom, by the way.
And trim around your door and the door and shades.
And they sold all that stuff.
And they had like an 11-man crew.
Like six guys on phones.
So he goes, if you want to go, he sent me the resume to the guy, his uncle, and I called him.
We spoke on the phone.
And, in fact, I wrote the guy while I was in prison, back and forth, because he would tell me, keep your head up.
You got a job when you get out.
Don't be down on yourself.
When I got out into the halfway house, I called him.
And I said, hey, man, I got to sit in the halfway house for 90 days, but I'll be in Jersey by June.
He goes, I don't think I can hire you.
We were working on this construction company, and we got stiffed.
It was that fucking guy, Trump.
So we lost everything.
We had an investment in the, you know, these were high rises.
You had to pay for all those windows and he's going to pay you.
You know, they might have got a deposit or something from the GC, but not enough.
They got stiff.
joe rogan
So he would just put them under.
joey diaz
Yeah, but he would go under like, he would go to, he was the top builder and he would go to Joe Rogan Construction and he would put it all under your name.
So you went down too.
So he did all this.
He ruined fucking family businesses.
And all of a sudden he has this short memory.
You know, when you run for president, they look at you with a fucking...
Microscope.
Microscope.
And you know what?
I don't know what happened with the birth certificate and Obama's birth certificate.
unidentified
I never paid attention.
joe rogan
I hope he was born in Kenya.
joey diaz
This is something you cannot overlook with this guy.
This guy's a prick.
He doesn't know anything about the fucking country.
joe rogan
He was one of the guys that was going on and on about Obama's birth certificate.
He was like one of the main guys.
First of all, I don't...
Look just look at them as human beings like when you hear them talk and you you kind of like what they stand for He's my favorite president ever who Obama better than Clinton.
Yeah, I think Clinton, you know Clinton had a lot of flavor and he did some good stuff, too But I think Obama has been the most maybe it's just the times that we're in he's the most the most noticeable when it comes to like Spreading this, like, what I think is an improvement in the way people think.
You know?
First of all, by being black.
Second of all, by support of gay rights.
Really, like, blatant support.
Like, where they turned the fucking White House rainbow when it got passed.
I mean, that's crazy shit, man.
That's never existed before.
When you saw that picture of the White House being rainbow-colored at night, I was like, this is nuts, man.
joey diaz
That wouldn't happen with Nixon.
joe rogan
This is some shit that's similar to the fucking abolition of slavery.
It's similar.
I mean, it's not as extreme a slavery.
It's not as extreme a trap.
brian redban
That's so crazy.
joe rogan
That's so amazing.
I mean, but it's similar in the way that it's going to change the way people look at gay people.
It might not be now.
It might not be the generation of our parents.
It might not be the generation of our older brothers and sisters.
But it's going to be the generation of our kids.
The generation of our kids is going to understand that gay people, it's just like being mad at people for having red hair.
It's just who they are.
Like, what do you give a fuck?
And if you give a fuck about that, what else are you gonna come creeping around about?
What are you gonna fuck with people about?
What is it?
Are you gonna fuck with people about the way they're dressed?
Are you gonna fuck with people about the way they talk?
Like, what is it?
Like, leave people the fuck alone.
And the more we do that, the more we can sort it all out.
And find out what is really bothering us.
What's really bothering people?
Well, a lot of what's bothering people is people intruding on other people's lives.
And it doesn't get any more inclusive than in the fucking bedroom.
You're intruding on people's bedrooms.
You care if people want to get married, if they love each other just because they're two guys or two girls.
Who gives a fuck?
And if you do give a fuck, you're a problem.
You're a problem in this free world.
And this is just one thing that you ideologically attached yourself to.
And it might be religious-based.
Who knows what the fuck...
Other shit you got going on in your head you don't want people to do.
You know, who knows what other weird kind of Sharia law shit you want to incorporate into society.
Who knows?
I don't know.
You think people shouldn't be able to get married just because they're two men or two women?
That's intolerable in 2015. That's archaic shit.
And I think that is one of the archaic things that's going to slowly but surely start vanishing from our world.
Maybe not now.
There's still a lot of homophobia now.
But, you know, there's this woman from Brazil.
I think it was Jessica Andrade, an MMA fighter, and she was talking about how many people in Brazil are homophobic in comparison to the United States.
And she's like, it's really nice to see the United States doing this, and hopefully more people in Brazil think this way too.
And you realize that in a lot of Latin American countries especially, like you were talking about Cuba.
You were talking to me the other night about Cuba.
joey diaz
Russia.
Cuba.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
joey diaz
Russia, they passed laws.
joe rogan
They passed laws against gay people in Russia.
joey diaz
Listen, man, this is something completely new to some people.
It doesn't affect me, so it doesn't bother me.
Like I said in my joke on stage, I live next to two transgenders across the street.
The gay girl with the dog.
I talk to them every day.
I goof on them.
I goof on fucking Big Mike and Leslie.
You know, I love them.
I don't give a fuck.
You know, but there's some people who are still living in 1970, man.
And those people are stuck in their own fucking lives, so I just keep walking.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
You just keep walking.
What are you going to do?
joe rogan
And every day they watch The Longest Yard.
Long for the days when you could smash a chick's face against the wall.
joey diaz
I was explaining to you the other day that the most foremost community in Cuba is the gay community.
I grew up with gay Cubans around me.
My mom had the fucking bar.
Who do you think fucking keeps the lights on?
White dudes in the daytime.
Those gay fucks that come in and spend it.
And in those days, they were doing blow.
They were selling blow.
And I grew up around them.
I never had any H or anything for them.
But my stepfather, he's from the other side of Cuba, okay, where they can't be in a room with a gay guy.
No hatred, no whatever, but they just can't be in a room.
Their manhood cannot be in a room with a gay guy, you know, and I get it.
Some Latin American countries, it's just, but who are the biggest gay guys in the world?
Fucking Latins.
They're the best ones.
joe rogan
So what do you think that is?
Do you think it's like their shame?
joey diaz
It's a machismo thing.
What is it like in Sicily on that island?
What would it be like in 1950 to be gay in Sicily?
joe rogan
They bang each other a lot?
joey diaz
I don't think so.
I don't fucking think so.
joe rogan
Well, that's where the Catholics are.
joey diaz
But I think that you'd be...
I think that you would be fucking totally against it.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
I think Northern Italy, those hard-headed motherfuckers, you can't tell those motherfuckers you're a finok, or whatever the fuck they call them.
joe rogan
Right, but that's also where the Vatican is.
joey diaz
Right.
joe rogan
Like, how ironic is that?
That doesn't make any sense, because that is the biggest gay sex organization in the world.
joey diaz
But they don't want to know that.
Nobody wants to know that.
joe rogan
If not gay sex, pedophilia.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Okay, the biggest pedophilia.
joey diaz
Nobody wants to know that.
joe rogan
Do the priests fuck each other, or are they only fuck kids?
How does that work?
joey diaz
You gotta bring me down with that talk now and shit, but...
joe rogan
Listen, it's curious.
joey diaz
I didn't, you know, I just know how it was when I was growing up.
joe rogan
Did you know the Vatican owned a gay bathhouse?
joey diaz
No.
joe rogan
The building the Vatican owned was home to the biggest gay bathhouse in Italy.
joey diaz
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
We should go.
joe rogan
Go and bring some synthetic heroin.
Yeah, I'll pull up the story because it's fucking ridiculous.
Jamie, pull that shit up.
Put it up on the big screen.
It's ridiculous.
I mean, they're so blatant.
They've been doing this for so long.
You know, like this gigantic, crazy cult that's running the Catholic Empire.
They've been in charge for so long, wearing wizard costumes and sitting on thrones.
And people, so many people have bought into it that it's...
Look at this.
The Vatican pays landlord to Europe's biggest gay bathhouse.
And by the way, I say this, I went to Catholic school.
I'm allowed to say this shit.
Pays landlord to...
They play landlord to Europe's biggest gay bathhouse.
The church paid $30 million to acquire a building that houses a senior cardinal and a huge gay sauna.
Wait a fucking minute.
A senior cardinal and a huge gay sauna.
That's it.
That's his own private gay bathhouse.
The guy owns a bathhouse.
They paid $30 million.
First of all, how crazy is it that the Vatican has $30 million to buy houses with?
They have so much money.
Look at that.
The 75-year-old prince of the church enjoys a 12-room apartment on the first floor of the imposing palazzo at 2 Via Carducci, just yards from the ground floor entrance to the steamy flesh pot.
He's above it, smelling it.
There are 18 other Vatican apartments in the block, many of which house priests.
Cardinal Diaz, who is seen as a social conservative, even by current standards of the church hierarchy, is no doubt horrified to learn of the activities taking place a floor below.
My goodness.
I could not imagine.
brian redban
This apartment mildly smells like buttholes.
joe rogan
Mildly.
It's probably a tornado.
You know what it's probably like, man?
One of those fucking trees that you hang over your rear view?
That's like his house butt in his house.
joey diaz
A weekly bear night featuring Bruno, a hairy, overweight pastor of souls who dresses in Catholic vestments naturally, is free to the music of his clergyman remaining in a thong.
Because I gotta do that.
I'm gonna be the new Bruno.
Fuck it.
I'm going to slay some dick with a fucking priest.
joe rogan
Because he wants to expose body and soul, according to the Independent.
Bear Knight also features a buffet because exposing one's body and soul works up an appetite.
This is a hilarious article.
This is in Salon, this article.
Who wrote this article?
It's very funny.
joey diaz
You know, Joe Rogan, you read this.
joe rogan
Katie McDonough.
joey diaz
You read this after you go to Catholic school when you're raised Catholic.
It's fucking mind-boggling.
It's fucking mind-boggling.
Like, it's just like firecrackers went off in your head.
For some people, it's like how they found out when Cosby was doping bitches.
It was mind-boggling for them.
They grew up on Cosby.
Look at this fucking Jared guy.
Look at this fucking Jared guy.
Look at fucking the kids' porno pictures.
The FBI. You know, I hope this isn't true.
joe rogan
But they arrested one guy that was, like, in the organization, right?
Did they just investigate Jared, or did they have a suspicion?
unidentified
It's like business partners.
jamie vernon
And now his house is being investigated and it just announced that he's separated his business ties with Subway right now.
joey diaz
He's got one of those little...
brian redban
Whoa, wait.
I didn't hear about this.
What happened to the Subway guy?
unidentified
Child porn investigation.
brian redban
I knew it.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
What the hell?
brian redban
Losing weight on...
joey diaz
These people all got a creepy fucking freak and it comes out eventually, man.
Just let it out before the fucking gets out.
Just let it out.
I love little boys in fucking bikinis, you know, eating a Subway sandwich.
Oh my God, I sit there.
joe rogan
So do you think that like maybe he sent shit to Jared and Jared kept his mouth shut?
Or do you think Jared was sending shit back?
What are we, TMZ? What are we doing here?
What the fuck happened to this show?
joey diaz
How embarrassing is that?
It's not just embarrassing.
It makes me furious.
That if you didn't have a life, if you didn't have a life, you want to yell.
When I first started hearing this shit about the Catholic Church, I ignored it.
I was like, this is crazy.
I was one of those kids.
One of those kids that fucking helped a priest for about six months.
I did that shit until I got thrown out of there.
I believed.
I gotta tell you, man, when I get dark thoughts sometimes, I'm about to go to sleep, I just get dark fucking thoughts.
And just from being around Buddhists in Boulder, I learned that they chant a lot.
And in other words, a chant is not any different than a prayer.
So sometimes when I got a bad thought, I'll say a fucking Lord's Prayer.
Man, I'm old school.
You know what I'm saying?
So when I hear this shit, it just does something to you.
But for some people, it's like getting punched in the stomach.
You trusted somebody.
It's like having a babysitter and molest your kid.
You're numb for a week, man.
But this is our whole fucking society.
Every three days, we get dropped with something that we go, what the fuck?
How did this happen?
How did this fucking happen?
joe rogan
Yeah.
When things like this happen, you always gotta wonder, what sets something like that off in someone's brain?
Are they born with that?
Does it happen because someone does it to them?
Is it a chemical imbalance?
What the fuck is it that makes someone sexually attracted to kids?
What a bizarre thing to exist in nature.
I mean, it's almost like a suicide gene.
It's almost like in having that, your body is so weak, your mind is so weak, everything is so off-kilter, you're trying to get yourself killed.
And there's no better way to get yourself killed than fucking someone's kids.
Like, do you know any people, like, you remember that video where the guy's walking through the airport, and he had molested, he was a karate instructor, and he had molested some kids, and this guy's, this one of the kid's dads waited for him in the airport, and as he walked by with the cops, walks up to his head, boom, blows his brains out, just drops the gun on the ground.
That guy got off, by the way.
unidentified
Did he?
joe rogan
Yeah, he got off.
joey diaz
You gotta get off.
That's a great defense.
You lost your mind.
They had abused your child.
joe rogan
Yeah, he got off.
Yeah, he didn't do any time.
He shot that guy right in the fucking head in front of cops and then dropped the gun.
brian redban
What state was that?
joe rogan
I don't remember.
I want to say it was in New York.
I want to say it was in New York.
I forget.
It might not have been, though.
It might have been somewhere else.
joey diaz
There's some things that if you get there before the cops, you win.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
That's your beer.
If you get there before the cops, you fucking win, man.
joe rogan
This guy shot them in front of the cops.
joey diaz
Of the cops.
Yeah, I lost my mind.
Temporarily insane.
Temporarily insanity.
And the cops are, like, fucking handcuffing him going, that a boy.
joe rogan
Yeah, this is it right here.
Father shoots son...
Father shoots and kills son's kidnapper in airport for revenge.
So...
brian redban
Wait, they're gonna show him to shoot?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brian redban
Oh, no.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
Is it gross?
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
No.
He was just...
He just couldn't take it, man.
He got this guy away.
Look at this.
Boom.
And then he puts the gun away.
And then he had a crazy hat on.
unidentified
The cops hold him down.
brian redban
Oh, that's great.
joe rogan
It was his son, man.
brian redban
That's so good.
joe rogan
I mean, it is, right?
It's fucked up, but it is.
I mean, I'm not usually for this kind of shit, but boom.
I mean, that is about as...
I mean...
As far as what's fair, I'm for it.
Yeah, I'm not against that.
joey diaz
You know you've been my friend for a long time.
I have a horrible, horrible revenge gene.
It's in my blood.
joe rogan
No, you do.
joey diaz
When they went down to Cuba, and they tell the fucking Maya Lansky that, they tell the Jew that fucking they saw rebels.
What does he say?
He goes, these motherfuckers have been savages all their lives.
They've been savages.
They've always been savages.
Dog, I have a revenge gene in me, and it's horrible.
And no cop would stop me.
You're crazy.
I would hit somebody with a car and go to the same jail.
I'm one of those motherfuckers.
Like, once I have it in my mind, you're done.
It's in my blood.
That's my whole life in movies.
Outlaw Josie Wales, Death Wish, Man on Fire.
unidentified
Bam!
joey diaz
In Man on Fire, I'll tell you how bad he is, which I missed that scene until a month ago.
He talks that dude into shooting himself.
There's only two motherfuckers in the movies that have done that.
What's his name?
And my boy in Silence of the Lambs.
He talked a motherfucker into hanging himself from the other cell.
joe rogan
That's right.
joey diaz
Remember?
Migs!
joe rogan
Migs!
joey diaz
He talked Migs into fucking swallowing his own fucking tongue.
joe rogan
Migs was the guy who used to throw jizz on people's faces.
My friend John Tobin used to call me Migs.
unidentified
He was like this nickname to me.
Why?
joe rogan
Because he's being silly.
High Plains Drifter was...
joey diaz
When he painted the town red.
joe rogan
That was the one where they killed him and he came back.
joey diaz
And he came back and he put the shield on.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's a crazy movie, man.
joey diaz
And they kept shooting the body, and he kept going down.
They thought he was a ghost.
joe rogan
Well, but he was a ghost.
They beat a guy to death with a whip, and then he came back as Clint Eastwood.
He came back a ghost and fucked that town up.
It was a great movie.
That was a great movie at the time.
I remember seeing, the first time I saw High Plains Drifter, I was like, holy shit.
joey diaz
You thought your head was going to blow.
No, you had to throw, that's what I'm talking about.
When you see the machismo in Burt Reynolds, it's because that motherfucker just watched Bullet, and he goes, wait a second.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah.
joey diaz
I gotta outdo that motherfucker.
I gotta put on this corduroy suit.
And then Charles Bronson came along and he's gotta outdo everybody because he's ugly.
joe rogan
You know, he was the baddest motherfucker ever.
If I'm going to watch a movie from that era, and like if I come home, like say if I go to a hotel room, hey, you know, you're bored, like, what's on TV? And you turn it on and you get this, you get excited.
You go, oh shit.
You know, you thought you were just going to be by yourself.
Watching some terrible movie, and it turns out High Plains Drifter's on HBO or something.
Like, fuck.
They don't even really show these on HBO, do they?
joey diaz
No, they can't.
They can't.
joe rogan
Why?
Why can't they?
They have to show new shit all the time, right?
joey diaz
No, there's a channel about a month ago, they showed not High Plains Drifter, but the other one.
joe rogan
But you want it with no commercials, man.
joey diaz
Yeah, that's the way you want it.
joe rogan
You don't want these fucking things on regular TV. I can't watch these movies, Joe Rogan.
unidentified
Why?
joey diaz
Because it makes me fucking crazy.
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha!
joey diaz
These movies remind you why you're an American, bro.
These movies are like...
joe rogan
That's why they made them in Italy.
joey diaz
What were we talking about when we came in?
That it's time to put a strap of gun on.
We're living in some fucked up times.
joe rogan
You're anxious about this lately.
joey diaz
I got a wife and a kid that I worry about, and I don't know what I'd do.
I'd shoot the whole...
I'd be John Wick.
I told you, I gotta get one of those John Wick guns, dog.
I'll tell you, that John Wick, the first 20 minutes until he hooks up with the chick, once he hooked up with the chicks, it bothers me for a while.
But then you click it on with 45 minutes left, that is one of the best kick-ass scenes since Bruce Lee and Enter the Dragon.
You better check your watches.
That's 30 fucking years.
He cleans out.
He's using bullets as strikes, and he's shooting them up close and blowing their fucking heads off.
joe rogan
It's a badass movie.
joey diaz
And when you see that movie, you know, he trained with Hegan a lot.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
Hegan fucking fucked him up.
I'm anxious to go see him tomorrow.
joe rogan
To go see Hegan?
joey diaz
Yeah, like on the way home I'll call.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
My brother, you're going to teach tomorrow.
I'll be there 11 o'clock.
That's it.
That's all we say to each other.
I see you 11 o'clock.
And now he comes with an Indian dude.
That heals your body.
Guy lays you down all by energy.
Guy looks at you and goes, your shoulder bother?
And you're like, God damn, how do you know?
Every week it's like a game of chess with him.
unidentified
Really?
joey diaz
He lays you down.
He does this Cherokee shit.
joe rogan
Oh, that kind of Indian.
joey diaz
Yeah.
He bends you over.
He picks up the arm.
He does the Cherokee thing on your spine.
unidentified
He releases the eagle.
joey diaz
Googly moogly!
joe rogan
Release it from your butt?
joey diaz
You gotta see me doing 90 up Laurel Canyon after the eagle is loose.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
Yeah, yeah.
He shows up an Indian.
He fucking works on my body.
joe rogan
Do you use feathers or anything?
brian redban
It's turquoise in your ass?
joey diaz
Nothing.
unidentified
Nothing.
joey diaz
The guy's an old rodeo clown, dog.
He broke every bone in his body.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
joey diaz
So this guy adjusted everything.
And he's like, dog, last week some dude went in there with a fucked up hip.
The guy was there this weekend throwing fucking sidekicks.
joe rogan
Old rodeo clown.
Jesus Christ.
Is that like the most thankless job?
It might be one of the most thankless jobs ever.
There's not one, Lance Armstrong or the Rodeo Clowns.
You know what I mean?
There's like Ken Block, who's like a famous driver, right?
There's like skateboarders, Tony Hawk.
You know, there's one guy in each discipline, Tiger Woods.
You know what I mean?
Everybody knows Tiger Woods is a golfer.
Who's the one Rodeo Clown?
Name one.
They get no respect.
brian redban
There's probably one person that we just don't know.
It's like a Mexican superhero or something like that.
joe rogan
They don't really use rodeo clowns.
They have, I mean, in bullfighting, I mean, like bull riding, I'm pretty sure is an American tradition.
brian redban
Is it?
joe rogan
I think so.
I think in Mexico, obviously, they have a lot of bullfighting.
And in Spain, they have a lot of bullfighting.
I guess that's where they got it from, right?
They imported it from Spain.
joey diaz
I'm hoping.
joe rogan
Because that's what Mexico is.
It's like the indigenous Americans that came over, when the Spanish came over, they taught them Spanish and started fucking them.
And that's what made Mexicans.
That's why you get like Mexicans like Oscar De La Hoya, you know, who's like this beautiful looking, you know, European looking man, like kind of fairly pale skin.
And then you get a Mexican like, you know, Juan Manuel Marquez, who's like much more Mexican looking.
joey diaz
Inca-ish.
joe rogan
Inca-ish.
The darker skin and the darker hair.
It's interesting, man.
The whole North American continent is fucking fascinating.
It's fascinating to think that if you came to this spot 400 years ago, there'd be very few people here.
Very, very, very few.
A few nomadic tribes of Native Americans.
No cities.
No nothing.
joey diaz
Oh, you think how interesting is this?
There was a Diaz on the boat with Columbus and a Valdez.
unidentified
Really?
joey diaz
Yeah, that's a Diaz on the boat with Columbus.
joe rogan
That's where all the Diaz's come from?
joey diaz
I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
unidentified
Jumping to the exclusion.
joe rogan
Is that your dad?
joey diaz
And they spell it with a Z. And then one of the biggest lieutenants in Sicilian history is a Diaz with a C. And then we just saw that priest with an S. A Diaz with a C? A Z. I'm sorry, a Z. And then you have...
The fucking lunatics up in Stockton and they're Mexican.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
And I'm sitting here in front of you and I'm Cuban as can be.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
That makes you think.
Like, Diaz there, Diaz there, and Diaz as a lieutenant, and Diaz was on the ship as an Italian.
joe rogan
Italian Diaz.
joey diaz
Italian Diaz and Italian Valdez with a Z. My mother's side of the family is Valdez, and they're darker than that.
And my father's side is Diaz, and they're from Camagüey, and they came from Spain.
They speak with that thing.
They speak like Jaguars, like those people.
So you have to think, how did Diaz get to Mexico?
How did this Diaz get here and how did Diaz with a Z, Diaz with an S? These are all very interesting things that I look at.
You look at evolution.
We were talking about how they found that fucking tooth of the whale in Wyoming.
Remember years ago, we had that discussion on the podcast.
You know, this is things that have always baffled me.
Like, how come there's Nate Diaz and his brother?
They're Mexicans as it could be.
Not Inca Mexicans, though.
They're the other Mexicans.
They came from somewhere else and evolved, whatever.
So, it's very interesting.
joe rogan
You know what's interesting to me?
One of the things that's been getting me lately is this water situation in California.
It's pretty bad.
It's three years going on four years now, and the drought is pretty ferocious.
They're saying that California used 29% less water last month, so people are working to try to solve it.
But what was occurring to me when I was thinking about this is we know for a fact that there's areas of the world that used to be lush And then they became desert.
We know for a fact about the Nile Valley, like in Egypt, where the pyramids used to be, where the pyramids are, rather.
Before that, like 9,000 years ago, they know there was a rainforest there.
And slowly over time, shit just changed and then there's not that much rainfall.
And that could easily happen in California.
But would we stay?
Would everybody stay here?
Would they just keep pumping water artificially into the spot?
Or would people go, you know what?
This ain't working.
This ain't working.
We don't have any fucking...
We gotta move on.
Like, we've always had to.
All through our human history.
Whenever the climate got bad, people had to get the fuck out of there.
When the Ice Age was happening here, no one was living in Canada.
No one was living in Canada during the Ice Age.
Because it was two miles thick of ice in a lot of spots.
You wouldn't...
You weren't...
You're not living on ice.
You would find a way to get to a place where it's not ice.
But all the places that were covered in ice, it was a massive amount of Canada.
So when all that ice receded, that's where we got the Great Lakes from.
The Great Lakes are fucking puddles that are melted glaciers.
I mean, that's how fucking crazy this place was just 10,000 years ago.
If we had a house and it was there, you can't be stubborn when the ice starts coming.
You can't say, we're just going to keep chipping away at that ice every year.
At a certain point in time, you've got to realize, okay, if there's two miles...
Of ice, and it's as big as fucking Canada, or half of Canada, or even a few states.
Where those few states are, you can't live.
You gotta get out of there.
You gotta get out of there.
And if that happens here, we're so arrogant.
Our idea that we can control nature is so arrogant.
No one considers leaving California.
Like, everybody talks about, like, well, California's California.
We gotta do something about the California water crisis.
What if it never rains again?
Because guess what?
That could happen.
If it doesn't rain but once or twice a year, or ten times a year, or twenty times a year, there have been way crazier things than a shift in our climate to the point where it rains zero.
That's totally possible.
It's totally possible.
If it's possible to rain one day a year, it's possible to rain zero.
If it's possible to rain ten, it's possible to rain one.
It could be horrific.
Disastrous.
It's totally possible, and it would be normal.
It would be something that's happened all throughout the world.
They know that a lot of deserts used to be lush areas, and then somehow or another, for whatever reason, things changed.
Things shifted.
And you can blame people all you want.
I'm sure we have a lot to do with it.
I'm sure global Warming that there's without a doubt as some element of human civilization is a part of it.
There's too many scientists that believe it does.
There's got to be some factor.
But even without that factor, it's super possible that shit would change on its own.
It shifts.
We don't control when it rains.
It can fucking shift.
It easily could shift.
And if you're in a spot that sucks, you got to make a decision.
You got to figure out what the fuck you're going to do.
It rains more in Phoenix than it rains here.
brian redban
It rains in Phoenix a lot, actually.
I didn't know that.
In Ohio and in Houston, look at Galveston.
It's raining so much that there's shit water everywhere and people are losing their sight because it's overfilled all the sewage and stuff.
unidentified
What?
brian redban
They're losing their sight?
Yeah, this girl lost her sight just from being in the water.
What?
Because they tested the water.
It's all shit water.
It's in Galveston and Houston.
They've had such bad flooding in the past month.
joey diaz
It's been horrible.
Horrible.
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
I saw some of the photos.
I remember that back when we worked at the Laugh...
joey diaz
When I was there, they were thinking about that Sunday, floods.
That was two months ago.
joe rogan
No, no, no, the Laugh Stop in Houston, way back in the day.
joey diaz
Yeah, Westheimer.
joe rogan
Do you remember when they had to close that hotel we used to stay at?
joey diaz
Fuck yeah, they flooded that day.
joe rogan
It was flooded up to the third floor.
joey diaz
That was the time I was there.
I'm sorry, the comedy club was on West Grey.
I saw a refrigerator going down Westheimer.
joe rogan
Fecal Matter Water Advisories.
Oh my god.
Hold on, let me read that whole thing.
Fecal matter water advisories issued for some Galveston County beaches.
Fucking A, man.
Shit in the water.
Did a girl really go blind, though?
brian redban
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Ugh.
That's insane.
joey diaz
Damn.
The fucking Subway already cut ties to Jared.
Nothing came up.
At least the UFC waited three days and shit with Jon Jones.
They went down there.
These motherfuckers, they think Dana's tough.
Fucking Subway don't play.
They don't even give a fuck whether he's guilty or not.
joe rogan
Even if Jared didn't do anything but knew about it, if he knew the dude had child porn, he's still responsible.
What are you holding up?
brian redban
This is the article.
A woman loses sight in one eye after a mud run.
A young woman went blind in one eye within 24 hours after catching a flesh-eating bacteria during a mud run in Dallas this month because of all the flooding.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
Flesh-eating bacteria in your eye.
brian redban
It says, a woman said the debris cut her eye, allowing flesh-eating bacteria to destroy her cornea.
It just completely melted off my eye.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
unidentified
Fuck.
joey diaz
That's fucked up.
joe rogan
Do we just shit into the ocean?
How does that work?
Oh, shit.
More than a thousand runners get diarrhea after mud day event.
Of course.
Well, you're definitely getting some bacteria if you get a mouthful of mud.
That's 100%.
You're not supposed to do that, by the way.
You're not supposed to drink still water.
You're lucky if that's all you get.
You can get something way worse than that.
joey diaz
That's Gentile shit jumping in a fucking puddle of mud.
Stay home.
Fuck your wife in the ass.
You gotta jump in fucking mud like a jerk off.
At least the polar bears jump in the ocean.
They jump into fucking cold water and nothing bad gonna happen to you.
You wanna jump in mud after you've fucking been running, snowing, whatever the fuck it's been for a month.
God knows it's in that fucking mud.
joe rogan
I used to think those polar bear people were idiots.
Those people that would jump into the water.
joey diaz
Until you went into that freezer.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
And then you said, God, they're onto something, isn't it?
joe rogan
Oh, they're onto something.
joey diaz
When you jump in the ocean, man, and it's cold, it does something to you.
Especially when it hits like your bones for a minute.
When you come out of there, you feel like a fucking new man.
I've jumped into the fucking Atlantic.
Is that where we're at?
Which one's colder?
Here.
joe rogan
Here's colder.
joey diaz
Oh, my God.
When I used to jump into a board in Oregon and Seattle, that's fucking penguin weather.
joe rogan
That's freezing.
joey diaz
That's when you feel the bones in your feet and shit.
joe rogan
But it's probably really good for you.
joey diaz
Yep, it is good for you.
joe rogan
Because this cryotherapy shit, this stuff is changing my fucking body.
It's changing the way my body feels.
It's amazing how well it cures any weird shit that's bugging you.
Inflammation, back pains.
Back pains have been fucking with me forever.
They're just dissolving.
joey diaz
Wow.
joe rogan
You just do it all the time.
Your body produces all these anti-inflammation responses to the cold weather.
So that's probably what they were doing when they were jumping in the ocean.
unidentified
You get out of it and your body's like, woo!
You just get this fucking charger.
joey diaz
Your dick shrinks and it gets hard real fast and shit.
It shrinks and it pops out of that motherfucker like yum yum juice is being served and shit.
unidentified
I'll never forget you saying, any of your ex-girlfriends killed themselves?
joe rogan
No.
They should've.
joey diaz
Oh, if you suck my dick in the 80s, you should have killed yourself.
There's a girl on Facebook that I saw one night.
The last time I saw this chick was the night Flutie.
joe rogan
Doug Flutie?
joey diaz
Threw that touchdown.
unidentified
Oh.
joey diaz
This is winter of 83, 84 maybe.
And I saw her at a bar, though.
And they called Lori the Jack.
Remember that song, The Jack?
joe rogan
No.
joey diaz
The Jack by ACDC. She's got the jack.
She's got the jack.
She has something like a disease.
This chick didn't have the jack.
She just didn't have the wet pussy.
It wasn't wet?
No, they called the Fairview, New Jersey, because it was a dry hump.
These motherfuckers are so savages.
They will give you nicknames for everything in Jersey, you know.
And I saw her out, man, and I don't know what the fuck happened.
We started doing blow.
She was a babysitter for this family, Louie Donato.
The guy was a freak.
We went over to their house, and I saw a deposit bag from the bar, and I robbed it, and we got more blow.
joe rogan
Wow.
joey diaz
We ended up in the hotel room doing powder, and she's like, guess what color my underwear?
I'll never forget that.
She's like, if you guess the color of my underwear, I'll take them off.
I'm like, red.
She's like, they're green, but fucking take them off.
And I saw her on Facebook and I'm like, do you remember what happened that night?
She's like, no.
I go, you don't want to fucking know.
You wouldn't be here right now.
You'd be fucking killing yourself.
Disgusting.
All that shit's disgusting.
unidentified
Disgusting.
joey diaz
You know, with all this transgender talk, I was telling these motherfuckers on stage the night that that chick showed us her pussy in Las Vegas.
That was a transgender.
joe rogan
Do you remember what you called it?
joey diaz
What did I call it?
joe rogan
I said it looked like a bat with his mouth open.
unidentified
It did.
joe rogan
I never forgot that explanation.
joey diaz
The skin was tight and it looked like somebody put a boar in it where the dick hole was and cleaned it out.
joe rogan
Do you remember when Doug and I were doing the man show and we had that really beautiful...
We had two of them that were really beautiful that were transgender.
Remember?
The one of them that was pre-op, and she showed his dick to the audience.
She showed his dick.
That's what I just said.
But it's hard to say her dick.
You know what I'm saying?
I was treating her correctly by calling her a she, then I got to the dick.
I'm like, she showed his dick.
But she was beautiful.
So beautiful that she was walking up the hill, driving up the hill.
You know, we used to be the Hyatt next to the Comedy Store.
She was driving up that hill, and Eddie Bravo and I were coming down the hill.
We were walking, and she was coming up, and Eddie looked at me and goes, God damn!
And I go, oh, that's my friend.
I go, she used to be a dude.
And he goes, you know her?
Are you sure?
Are you fucking with me?
You're fucking with me.
I go, no, no.
She's definitely used to be a dude.
And then, you know, she said, hi.
And I said, oh, what's up?
How you doing?
Everything good?
Blah, blah, blah.
We talked.
And then we went down there.
Eddie goes, oh, my God.
I can't believe that used to be a guy.
I can't believe it.
He goes, now I'm so confused.
Now I don't know.
I thought I would be able to tell.
I thought Toby would be able to spot one.
I'm like, you can't spot her.
And she has a dick.
She's as girly as it gets.
joey diaz
Oh my god.
We should pitch that show.
unidentified
What?
joey diaz
Get a transgender set like normal guys up with them on a date and see if they guess it.
See what the reaction is the next day.
brian redban
Guys would get violent.
joe rogan
That's how Jenny Jones got canceled from TV. Don't you remember?
joey diaz
By how?
joe rogan
Jenny Jones had an episode where it was like my secret crush.
And the guy had a secret crush on this dude that he worked with.
no idea what the fuck was going on.
He was on the show and we're here to tell you that someone has a secret crush on you.
And the guy gets out.
It's me.
I was like, you know, he got out there and he was like really flamboyant.
And the guy got angry, went over to his house and shot him.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Fucking killed him.
And then they just went, they pulled the plug on the show.
joey diaz
No, but we won't do it like that.
joe rogan
That show doesn't exist anymore.
joey diaz
We'll give them a chick that's already had the operation.
joe rogan
It doesn't matter.
joey diaz
And after they fucking suck, then you break it to them like with a guard dick.
And the guy comes out with a gun.
joe rogan
No, they did it after the show was over.
The guy went to his house and killed him.
joey diaz
I know.
joe rogan
He killed him like a couple days later.
joey diaz
But that's fine.
joe rogan
Listen, that's fine.
brian redban
I can't guard dicks for life.
joey diaz
And somebody tells you, you ain't leaving the house for a week.
joe rogan
Dog, this is what you do.
unidentified
You film all All the episodes in two days.
joey diaz
So if they die, they die.
Fuck, you already made your vig.
joe rogan
You got a fucking hundred episodes in the can.
joey diaz
Fuck him.
joe rogan
He's probably going to kill people.
brian redban
That's it.
joey diaz
No, after they fuck, you sit them down and go, how was your date?
It was great.
I've never been with a woman so magical.
What did we tell you if Diane was really dick the jick?
And he used to sling dick back in the 80s on the Sunset Strip, and the guy just freezed.
I mean, what could you do?
joe rogan
He's going to kill somebody.
You're going to get the wrong guy.
unidentified
What would you do?
brian redban
If it happened to you, what would you do?
joey diaz
Depends how good the pussy was.
You know what I'm saying?
unidentified
The pussy was good.
joey diaz
Fuck it.
Then he was really a woman all along.
He was meant to give out that monkey.
joe rogan
Here's the total rub.
Here's the total rub, okay?
This is the 100%.
Dudes are willing to accept artificially enhanced breasts, right?
No problem.
I mean, some guys don't prefer them, but they're willing to accept artificially enhanced breasts.
So breasts that change your body and they turn your body into something that's more...
More womanly or more, for whatever reason, it activates that part of your lizard brain that sees the big fleshy tits and thinks that this girl will be able to take care of my babies well.
She's very fertile.
These are good genes.
That's the same gene that gives you the big ass, like the big ass and the big tits, like that sparks.
There's like a flame.
It's not as a matter of someone giving you affection.
It's a matter of someone giving you affection in a very specific shape that rings in your brain.
Well, they can do that, and do that absolutely perfectly, and they will be able to eventually, if they can already right now, and turn a guy into the exact shape of a woman that's hot as fuck.
At the end of the day, you can search around for some fucking hidden crackerjack toy.
You can lift her up and look around and try to figure out, okay...
I don't...
unidentified
I guess...
joe rogan
Is this a woman?
I guess it looks exactly like a woman.
It feels like a woman.
It talks like a woman.
Goddammit, is it a woman?
And you'll eventually decide that it's a woman.
Because your brain processes that as female.
Your brain processes the words as female.
The shape as female.
And if someone can figure out how to do it just perfectly...
Just perfectly.
Genetically.
They figured out how to go in there and fucking tweak this shit...
They're close to doing crazy shit like that.
You saw that thing that Rhonda Patrick tweeted?
That I retweeted?
About the pigs?
Look what they're doing to pigs, man.
They figured out a way to delete a gene in pigs, and they come out like Incredible Hulk pigs.
She put up a photo of it today.
They're doing all kinds of weird shit with genetics, and they're already doing this on people, she says, in China.
She's coming on the podcast soon to talk to me about it.
I can't wait to talk about it, but look at these fucking pigs, man.
This is crazy.
They're Hulk pigs.
Look at the ass on that pig.
It's like a bull.
If you were in a pig butt, you know what I'm saying?
This is a new thing they're doing to the bodies of these animals.
They're going to be able to do that to people too, man.
And they're going to be able to turn a man into a woman.
Like, perfectly.
They'll be able to literally get in there and dig around.
Switch this, turn that off, and turn this on, and you're a woman.
I mean, it's going to happen.
It's just a matter of time.
I mean, I don't know if they're ever going to be able to turn a dick into a vagina without surgery, but I can't imagine one day they will.
One day they'll just be able to, you could go back and forth.
brian redban
There's an app for it.
joe rogan
One day it's the government will have a switch.
We'll just decide today we're gonna be a girl day.
Today everyone is gonna learn to be more sensitive to women because we're all gonna be women and just hit a switch.
The entire city is a woman and that's when the Mongols invade.
Come over the hill and they fuck everyone including all the alpha males.
They just get fucked like chicks and here's a secret.
unidentified
They like it.
joe rogan
They like it because they're chicks now.
brian redban
Joe do you have a tight pussy today?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Today I do.
He's got a replenishment.
I got a new shot at the doctor.
I went to the dentist.
He cleaned my teeth and made my pussy tighter.
He hooked me up.
You're going to be able to do that at home with your own printer.
You're going to be able to figure out a printed artificial vagina that's just way tighter.
You're going to hit the right keys.
Apple, one click.
And your vagina is just going...
You're going to have chips in your body that tell your body what to do.
That's 100%.
There's going to be artificial blood.
That's 100%.
Nanobots, they're devising these tiny little itsy-bitsy blood cell-sized machines.
This is what they're going to eventually have someday.
That'll fight cancer.
So if you have a cancerous growth in your body, they'll be able to send these machines through your bloodstream to attack these sick areas of your body.
I mean, we're going to see some fucking nutty shit in our day, and a man turning into a woman is like the least of the nutty shit.
If we could stay alive, we could all in this room stay alive to 100, we're going to see some shit.
joey diaz
But he hasn't cut his dick off yet, Caitlin.
unidentified
You say that like someone was questioning it.
You were in the middle of a conversation in your own head, and you introduced it to us, and I said, but he hasn't cut his dick off yet.
joe rogan
Nobody brought him up.
joey diaz
Everybody's all excited, but he hasn't cut his dick off yet.
So why is everybody jumping up and down for?
joe rogan
Well, because he is allowed to keep his penis and still be a woman, Joey.
joey diaz
No, no, no.
unidentified
No?
joey diaz
It don't work that way.
Either you're in or you're out.
Yeah, it don't work that way.
When he cuts his dick off, then come see me.
He's taking pictures.
Everybody's jumping up and down.
He still hasn't gone to the farm.
Once you go to the farm and cut that motherfucker off, then you come see Uncle Joey.
joe rogan
It's a true story.
joey diaz
Until then, once you go to the farm, then come back and see me.
He hasn't gone yet.
This is a trick by the wife.
This is a trick.
This is a fucking trick.
brian redban
Ratings.
joey diaz
Something's going on.
It's not a trick.
joe rogan
He got his face fixed.
unidentified
Did you see the facial surgery?
So did Mickey Rourke.
So did Mickey Rourke.
joey diaz
So did fucking Stallone.
Everybody got their face fixed.
joe rogan
Not like this.
He went through feminization surgery where they shortened his jaw and changed his lips and the whole deal.
Have you seen the recent photos?
Pull up the recent photos from Vanity Fair.
joey diaz
Mike across the street.
Big Mike.
He put a pussy in there, and he hasn't changed his jaw.
He's out there sucking dick two nights a week.
joe rogan
He put a pussy in there?
joey diaz
Yeah.
joe rogan
So he turned his dick into a pussy.
brian redban
Has he showed it to you?
joey diaz
No.
Big Mike is on the construction store.
I don't really talk about it.
unidentified
Under construction?
Yeah, he puts the wig on.
joey diaz
He's got a bald spot.
He's got to put a wig over it.
But his roommate, Leslie, did everything.
She got the cheeks, the face.
joe rogan
So she was a man?
joey diaz
Yes.
joe rogan
Okay.
See, this is...
Look at these photos.
Like, look at these photos, like, close-up ones of the face, like, right there.
Like, he had a shitload of things done.
brian redban
Doesn't he seem like a high-maintenance guy?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
He's crazy as fuck.
Well, here's the thing, man.
You know, when we were watching that interview, when he got interviewed by...
What was it?
Diane Sawyer?
Is that who it was that interviewed him?
He was loving all the attention.
He was loving it.
He was loving the opportunity to talk about himself and talk about having...
Hold up that.
Pull that image up.
Jesus Christmas.
I love how he's trying to hide those giant canoe feet.
joey diaz
Yeah, that's the problem.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of here with those size 38 flippers.
brian redban
Someone's got an upskirt thing going on.
joey diaz
Them fucking Munich feet.
That motherfucker jumped in Munich and shit.
Look at them.
joe rogan
It's just, it's very strange, man.
I mean, that is a very feminine looking man or woman.
brian redban
Joey, you want to hit that?
joe rogan
I mean, in transition, she's very feminine looking.
Like what they've done to her face.
If she really looked like that.
So this is the thing.
When you're looking at something like this, this has been through more fucking computers.
I mean, more screens and filters.
And we all know that.
We all know about the difference between what someone would look like in real life and someone would look like in like a super well done photograph like that.
It's a big difference.
But hey man, good for her.
If that's what she wants to do now, same thing we were talking about before about gay marriage, good for her.
If this is what she enjoys, I'm glad that she can be on the cover of a magazine and it could be a fun time for everybody.
You know?
When we were kids, this could have never happened.
joey diaz
No.
joe rogan
Never.
It's weird though, right?
joey diaz
And it did happen when we were kids.
It happened because I watched the report, and when it happened, it happened in another country, and we just didn't know about it.
It happened like in Germany or somewhere.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
Somebody like in 1940, and some American did it.
We just, there was no internet.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
So we weren't very hip to it.
You know, when I was in Seattle, a young comic, we had Rita.
Rita had done the operation.
Rita was a Japanese man.
I became a Japanese woman.
But she died because, first off, she had a lot of psychological problems that came after the surgery.
I loved Rita O. Rita O let me four in the house my first fucking headshot.
I never forgot that, man.
I paid her back and everything.
Rita died because her head was too fucking big from being a man.
joe rogan
What?
joey diaz
So her balance was off.
After the surgery...
unidentified
What?
joey diaz
Her balance is off.
brian redban
I love those comments.
joe rogan
How is that possible?
joey diaz
What about Brad Williams?
It's like if Brad becomes a woman, his head's gonna be fucking ginormous and his balance is gonna be off from time to time.
Something happened after they did the surgery to him, to her, that her balance got taken off.
She died because she suffered a fall at a disco and banged her head.
Rita O was an open mic comic that used to run with us in Seattle.
And she'd come out.
She had the nails.
I mean, nobody's going to fuck Rita O. Trust me.
Nobody ever thought of fucking Rita O. Her hands were fucking horrid.
It looked like Herman Munster hands.
She had the nails.
And she would get nachos.
And then she'd go to get a drink.
And we'd take her nachos.
And she'd yell.
She had a very feminine voice.
Like, yes, darling.
But she'd look at us getting nachos.
She'd go, put them down!
It was fucking scary.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
And to make money, the government or the doctors gave her a certain amount of pills a month and she became a pill addict.
Wow.
and everything like she you know she she was raised in like the four you know when I met Rita in 95 Rita was 50 already you know I'm saying so I was 20 something maybe 30 so she was telling me that when she was growing up her mother and father would beat her when she would tell him that she was really a woman Wow like it was just too much abuse in her life and then once she finally became a woman there was so much baggage
You know, I remember doing blow with her, like, and talking to her, like, at the comedy club, and her telling me, you know, as creepy as it was, that, you know, she would have to go see a shrink three times a week still.
joe rogan
What was the big, did she talk about what the big issue was?
The transition?
Was it a transition?
joey diaz
Transition, you know, but she ate a lot of She did a lot of powder.
She had tons of money.
I don't know where she got the money from.
I know she sold drugs.
She even came down here to see me once when I was in LA at the Comedy Store, like in 99. And she died shortly after that.
She fell off the stage and went into a comb and died.
And we're joking around.
And it was true.
Her head was too big.
joe rogan
Do you think it had to do with her pills?
In fact, she's taking pills.
Isn't that more likely?
joey diaz
I've been in contact in my life with maybe two or three transgenders, you know, like on the streets when I was a kid in New York City or something.
And something was always missing.
You know what I'm saying?
Even after they did the surgery, something is always not right, Joe Rogan.
They just did something major, major.
It's a major step.
We're just throwing it around with these fucking idiots.
And they're going to start throwing it around like a tattoo.
That's the part of it that I don't like.
That now every time somebody feels feminine, they're going to want to have this fucking surgery.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, one day you feel confused or whatever.
You know, this is the part of it I don't like.
I get all this gender stuff, and I get it, man, that you're a woman, that you were born feeling this.
But in today's society, we got too many sheep.
We got too many weak souls out there, dog.
You know, they still argue about it.
You know, it's not good.
And those are the people I worry about.
Those people that, you know, you ever go somewhere and you hear people talking, you know who's there?
Just to try to be there.
I'll never forget this.
I went to a restaurant once in Santa Monica and there was a guy behind me while I was eating.
I said, nobody's this gay.
Nobody could be this gay.
This guy was not born like this.
This for this guy is something that he does to be accepted.
He doesn't even know what he's doing.
In six years, he won't be gay no more.
In six years, he'll have a wife and a kid living in Idaho and he'll be a farmer.
But he's just doing this to fit in.
unidentified
Really?
joey diaz
I have a lot of that.
I feel a lot of that with people today in our society.
A lot.
I feel people are not completely in.
joe rogan
There's some people.
joey diaz
There's not people in.
They're not in.
And that's why I tell people, before you go in there, Fucking think it over.
Whether it's hanging out with devil worshippers, or hanging out with drug dealers, or whatever the fuck you want to do, because once you're in, you're in.
You're going to end up kidnapping somebody with a machine gun.
Don't tell me what the fuck I know.
I know when somebody's faking the funk.
There's people that, when I was a kid, Jimmy Balzano, who was my brother, I knew he was gay.
I knew he was slinging dick, but it took no fucking genius to tell you that my brother, I grew up in his house with his other three brothers.
You couldn't tell he was gay.
If he came to me today and said, I'm a transgender, I would hug him and go, dog, since the eighth grade, I could tell you were a dick sucker.
I didn't have no doubts in my heart that you weren't going to suck dick, even though you were fucking girls in the neighborhood because you were so good looking.
You know what I'm saying?
You grew up with people that you look at and go...
Sometimes you go to the store and you see people that you go...
It's like when you see Eddie Murphy in person, you're like, this guy could be a fucking go-go dancer on the weekends.
When you see Eddie Murphy...
I always said Eddie Murphy should win an Academy Award because when he's in the movie, he's a man of many men.
When you see Eddie Murphy in person, you're like...
The rumors could be true.
There's something about him.
And I ain't mad at Eddie.
I'm one of his biggest fans.
I'm just telling the truth that as a man, you're around other fucking men.
And you know who ain't right.
You know who you might be able to talk into sucking a dick at three in the morning.
We all have that person.
Now, we go home.
We love that person.
We accept that person.
But you know one night if you have a pill and a quaalude, you might be able to talk to this guy.
There's certain guys who are doing it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
You knew there's people like that, that they walk around, you know they'll suck a dick if they had to, if they got into a tight spot one night.
Okay?
And that night in Hollywood, I really, and I felt bad about what I was thinking.
I felt this guy was just doing it so he could bowl with these guys on Tuesday nights.
You know, 20 years ago, what am I, the only retard in the room?
Van Heche went lesbian, did she not?
Did she not?
She was dating fucking Ellen.
You were an Ellen fan.
joe rogan
- Well, she wanted to become famous.
joey diaz
- Right, so she became a lesbian and she did Dr. Brasco, and now what has she got?
joe rogan
Look her up now.
joey diaz
- She's got kids.
- Okay then.
joe rogan
- Husband.
joey diaz
- Kids dick.
- I think people, a lot of people move to Hollywood or in society, and just to fit in, they'll do shit.
They'll do shit, then they realize, well, this is where I fucking got.
We live in a sheep fucking society today.
We're all trying to be the same person.
If you look around, we're all looking the same.
When you go to Silver Lake and do Malo, and you get on stage, look at the people, and 80% of people look the same.
They all got the same fucking glasses, the same tight jeans, the same tattoo of the Chinese sign.
unidentified
Everybody wants to be the fucking same here.
joey diaz
Everybody's being the same.
You know, you wake up in the morning, walk into a studio for an audition.
What does everybody have in front of them?
A cup of what?
Starbucks.
unidentified
Starbucks.
joey diaz
And if you ain't got Starbucks, you ain't invited to the fucking party.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
You see Starbucks raise their prices 20% again?
joe rogan
Did they really?
joey diaz
How much more are you going to pay for coffee?
joe rogan
They got you hooked.
joey diaz
They got you hooked.
joe rogan
They want that money.
joey diaz
And it's not coffee.
Everybody got coffee.
It's the status of going to Starbucks.
Oh my God.
joe rogan
Is it really?
joey diaz
Yes!
joe rogan
It's status.
joey diaz
Oh my god.
How many times do you see a picture?
joe rogan
Who's impressed that you go to Starbucks over the coffee?
I go to Coffee Bean and they have better croissants.
joey diaz
It doesn't matter.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
They have muffins too.
joey diaz
In today's society, when we were growing up in Boston or Denver, you lived at your grandfather's in Newark.
People would have a little fucking blue cup.
That said coffee.
And you went to a diner and you said, give me, what was it called?
joe rogan
Do you remember they used to have the Greek stuff?
Like little Greek guys on the cups?
joey diaz
What's it called?
The coffee?
Medium?
How did you order coffee?
joe rogan
Regular.
joey diaz
Yeah, regular.
What's regular?
joe rogan
Milk and two coffees, right?
joey diaz
Now look what we have.
But we didn't carry the coffee cups like a Budweiser.
It's like when you go out at night, you take a picture with somebody.
What do they always got in their hand?
Put the fucking beer down!
But nobody can put the beer down.
God forbid they don't party out.
God forbid they don't party.
joe rogan
Party out?
What does that mean?
joey diaz
Let's put the butt so they can tell I'm drinking.
What the fuck?
Put the beer down, you fuck.
Same thing with coffee in our society.
Everybody wants to fucking be cool and drink that fucking coffee.
joe rogan
Have you ever had someone look at your cup and go, what is that?
Fucking coffee bean?
What, you can't afford Starbucks, bro?
joey diaz
Yo, step up to the Starbucks.
joe rogan
Dunkin' Donuts, bro?
joey diaz
Why would you wait on that line when 7-Eleven got the same fucking call?
brian redban
No, it doesn't.
joey diaz
No, it doesn't.
Listen, that Brazilian bold will keep you up for three days.
That's what ISIS drinks.
Don't tell me my fucking business.
We think ISIS drinks fucking...
Take coffee?
Fuck you.
They drink fucking...
You ever drink Brazilian...
You ever drink Brazilian bold from fucking Dunkin' Donuts?
Fuck you.
unidentified
Fuck you.
joe rogan

unidentified

unidentified

joey diaz
That's liquid fucking meth.
Get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
Dunkin' Donuts, I agree with.
joey diaz
Shit.
joe rogan
But not 7-Eleven.
joey diaz
I don't even like Dunkin' Donuts because the coffee's too hot.
No, no, no.
7-Eleven, the old Brazilian bold.
Now they got it all fucked up.
I don't go for Dunkin' Donuts no more.
joe rogan
The Dunkin' Donuts you go for.
You don't go for 7-Eleven.
joey diaz
No, Dunkin' Donuts and Encino.
By the time I drive, they'll crash the fucking car.
So I need to make the crook at the fucking house.
I make the crook at the house.
Why do you think I leave?
joe rogan
I tell you about the Keurig K-Cups, right?
joey diaz
Why do you think I leave?
unidentified
Jamie.
joe rogan
Young Jamie.
Get the man a Keurig K-Cup, please.
We have them still, right?
Yeah, I got more in the car.
joey diaz
Why do you think I leave the comedy store so fast every night?
Because I got to catch my Starbucks by midnight or I turn into a pumpkin.
joe rogan
Are you drinking at midnight?
joey diaz
Oh my God, I drink a flat white, a small one at midnight.
joe rogan
So you go right down the street to the one that's near...
joey diaz
Magnolia?
No, Magnolia and Riverside.
joe rogan
It's open till 12 o'clock?
joey diaz
Midnight and the driving is open till midnight.
I got up this morning at 4.15.
I got nothing to do.
I shoot right till the driving's open at 4.30.
joe rogan
You know, one of the things that I would do when I was writing is I'd make a fucking pot of coffee at night.
Like, it could be like midnight.
I start writing and I'll make a pot of coffee.
That's when I know I'm there to work.
I'm going to, you know, big fucking French press.
brian redban
You said you got the white chocolate mocha?
unidentified
No, no, no.
joey diaz
I get the flat white.
I don't drink no white chocolate mocha.
joe rogan
You got to get out of here, right?
unidentified
No, no, no.
joey diaz
I'm cool.
We got 15, 20 minutes.
I love the flat white from...
It's like a fake on nature.
I'll drink a s'more, you know what I'm saying?
But if I'm home, I'll corrupt that motherfucker.
I'll do a double Bustelo.
You can sleep right after that, though, right?
I did cocaine for 30. A cup of coffee don't do nothing to Uncle Joey.
That's a double Bustelo.
joe rogan
You know what?
I think I have ADD or some shit.
Because sometimes I'll have a cup of coffee and I'll get sleepy.
joey diaz
Yeah, I do.

This tastes like dick.
You know that?
This tastes like fucking dick.
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
joe rogan
It's not supposed to be good.
It's supposed to be good in effects.
joey diaz
When I drink a star, it's fucking good.
It's jello.
joe rogan
Drink that.
joey diaz
This is dick.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
It's not.

This tastes like a guy that smoked bottle all night.
You suck his dick.
This is what comes out of his dick.
unidentified
It's his TAC coffee.
joe rogan
He ate an asparagus salad and smoked weed.
unidentified
Hello, it's me.
What's the story?
joe rogan
Your Periscope show.
Every morning you're doing the joint.

Say it again.
joey diaz
It's called the morning joint with Uncle Joey.
I do it about five after eight if the baby lets me go outside.
joe rogan
Five after eight in the morning?
joey diaz
Yeah.
joe rogan
You stand outside for a couple minutes and just do Periscope?
joey diaz
I smoke three, four bowls.
Two different weeds, maybe a little hashish.
And I wake the people up.
I give some motivational terms.
I tell the people to grab their dick.
Like today, the saying of the day was, either they're going to suck your dick or they're going to suck your dick.
Either way, you win.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Wow, that's really clever.
Did you write that out?
joey diaz
Sure.
And Confucius says, either you're going to suck my dick today or you're going to suck my dick tomorrow.
But you're going to suck my dick somewhere along the line.
joe rogan
A lot of dick sucking going on.
joey diaz
That's how you have to leave the house in the morning.
When I leave the house, I'm scared.
I've got to fucking get myself fired up in the shower and let people know that when I'm going out there, somebody's going to suck your dick today, whether they want it or not.
brian redban
Joey, do you ever have them delete any of your stuff?
joey diaz
No, I don't know.
I don't know nothing about Periscope.
I just do them and I fucking move on with my life.
It's a beautiful day to be alive.
The cloud is out.
Who gives a fuck?
You're showing up with some mad motherfucking sunshine in your heart and in your ballsack.
You understand?
Like the man said, they got two options today, to suck your dick or to suck your dick.
That's their option, so who gives a fuck?
joe rogan
This is how you wake up.
joey diaz
Joey, what's up with the chitter-chatter?
You know, we've been waiting for 20 fucking minutes.
Now you want to show up a day late and a dollar fucking short?
Let's get this fucking party started.
We're going to open up today with the zombie weed.
unidentified
By the way, you know me.
joe rogan
Okay, I know exactly what I'm doing tomorrow.
I'm setting my alarm clock, and I'm going to be a part of this.
brian redban
I usually watch you right when I'm going to bed.
You do it really early sometimes.
joe rogan
You know what I'm going to do, man?
I want to get one of those iPhone things for the car.
It's illegal, by the way.
brian redban
It's illegal to have a windshield mount in California.
joe rogan
Windshield?
brian redban
Windshield mount.
joe rogan
Because it's in front of you.
brian redban
Or anything on your windshield.
joe rogan
No, if you go on the windshield, you do it on the dash, right?
brian redban
Well, no, you can do it on the vents.
They have the ones that snap into vents and kind of like that.
joe rogan
Oh, but it's not illegal to periscope while you're driving.
brian redban
I think it is.
I definitely think it is.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Yeah, because you're kind of not paying attention to the road.
joe rogan
But you are if you just turn it on while you're driving.
If you're parked, you turn it on and you go, okay, it's on.
unidentified
Here we go.
joe rogan
We're going to work.
brian redban
I don't think they can stop you from doing that.
I think that's fine.
joe rogan
Because you could drive like that with GoPros, because that's how those shows get made.
Like Drive, that Drive channel on YouTube, I was with those guys.
Matt Farah, dude, he's got all these GoPros inside his car, so you could definitely do that.
brian redban
I drive all the time, but I delete them right after.
Why?
Because you drive like chaos?
unidentified
Look at this cloud and shit.
BAM!
That's like the fucking forest fire.
joe rogan
They're fighting in Big Bear right now.
unidentified
They deleted one of my periscopes.
Why?
brian redban
Because I have this thing where I eat shitty food in the shower and like review it.
And I was doing Taco Bell.
Like I had like a nacho bel grande and I was just drinking all the water and like a soup.
joe rogan
Why did they delete it?
brian redban
Because it was too gross, I think.
joe rogan
What the fuck?
You're eating food.
brian redban
I know.
joe rogan
Why are they censoring?
brian redban
I think they might.
I don't know why, but it was available for like an hour and then they just pulled it and I don't know if it was...
joe rogan
I heard that people were upset at you that you were wasting water.
brian redban
It's a six minute shower and I'm taking a real shower while I'm eating.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I'm not defending or attacking you.
People were upset that you were wasting water.
brian redban
Well, I understand those complaints, but when I do a shower scope, I try not to shower for four days straight.
joe rogan
Can't argue with that, ladies and gentlemen.
joey diaz
How many minutes shower can I take?
brian redban
You're supposed to take five minutes a day.
joe rogan
Who fucking shuts down the golf course?
When's that happening?
Because until then, fuck yourself.
Because they're using millions of gallons of water.
Until you're shutting down the golf course, fuck off.
Because that's 100%.
100% for entertainment.
100%.
He's at least taken a combatory effort of entertainment and a shower.
joey diaz
I take two, three showers a day, and I take my time.
I get this loofah.
joe rogan
Nice.
joey diaz
I got the asshole loofah.
joe rogan
You got the loofah with the stick?
joey diaz
I made an asshole loofah, dog.
joe rogan
You made it?
joey diaz
A little loofah with a Q-tip just to wash the barnacles around the muffler.
unidentified
Sure.
joe rogan
It'll get stuck in there, and you won't even know it's in there.
joey diaz
No, I did the colonoscopy.
I looked at my ass.
I didn't want to go in there with a dirty asshole.
What do you want in for your colonoscopy, dog?
Pretty soon, cocksucker.
joe rogan
I've had a finger in my butt.
joey diaz
No, not the finger.
When they stick the camera in there, look around.
joe rogan
Doctor had to check around.
They got to look around.
It's very uncomfortable.
joey diaz
Very uncomfortable.
You don't even make eye contact.
joe rogan
Look around your asshole.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I'm avoiding shoulder surgery.
I've got some tears, some small tears in my labrum.
So I've been going through Regenikine and physical therapy and all this different shit for it.
It's my latest health issue.
It's fascinating shit to feel your joints given out and to realize, this might have to get fixed.
I'm going to have to get this one fixed.
It's not quite at the point where I've got to get it fixed.
I think I could rejuvenate it to the point.
It's weird because it's still strong, but it just gets sore after I use it.
And there's apparently some bone chips in there from jujitsu.
joey diaz
My knee hurts, but what am I going to do?
joe rogan
Americanas?
joey diaz
Oh my god, I cried.
joe rogan
Your knee hurts?
joey diaz
Again, the one I just had surgery.
joe rogan
You should look into that Regenicane shit.
joey diaz
What's Regenicane?
joe rogan
Regenicane is the blood spinning procedure.
They take your blood out.
It's what Kobe Bryant, all these guys used to go to Germany for.
Now they have a place in Santa Monica.
And it's just massive anti-inflammatories.
They take out some blood.
joey diaz
That's when we have a problem.
joe rogan
They take out some blood.
joey diaz
You got a tube.
Whatever a tube is, you got a tube.
joe rogan
No, they got a few tubes.
No, then we can't do it.
And they're big tubes, too.
joey diaz
No, no, no.
joe rogan
They're taking two big tubes and a couple small tubes.
joey diaz
They get that bass drum air fucking compressor, and they fucking banged it out of your blood.
Fuck you.
That's why I didn't go to the thing, the Salvation Army.
They weigh 16 ounces of blood.
Are you kidding me?
joe rogan
They get all your blood.
unidentified
They gotta go...
joe rogan
What have you been doing?
joey diaz
You know what, bro?
I try to give blood once a month.
joe rogan
His blood smells like weed.
joey diaz
I go to a doctor with some fake fucking excuse.
Because people, that's why women don't get heart attacks.
Because they bleed once a month.
unidentified
What?
brian redban
Yeah, that's why.
unidentified
The fuck are you talking about?
Because they bleed once a month.
joey diaz
They change up their fucking blood.
You make new fucking blood.
That's why women don't get heart attacks.
Because every month they need iron to make new fucking blood.
But we don't bleed like women, so that's why it's good when men go get blood.
Because then your body rejuvenates new fucking blood, even if it's four fucking ounces.
What do you think you're dealing with?
joe rogan
Is that what's true?
Then dudes who did coke would bleed more out of their noses, so they would probably live longer.
joey diaz
What are you talking about?
I'm telling you right now that the reason women don't die as many heart attacks as men is because they don't bleed out the fucking monkey.
joe rogan
I think the reason why they probably don't die as much is because they don't date as many women.
joey diaz
Sure, if you're over 40, go get blood once a month.
Just a couple tubes so your body starts from scratch.
I'm telling you, Joe.
joe rogan
I think when women are not dating women, it saves a lot of stress.
brian redban
That's a good point.
I think with this gay marriage thing, you're going to see a rise in heart attacks from women.
Lesbian heart attacks.
joe rogan
Once they get the bill from the lawyer, the alimony.
unidentified
What?
What?
joe rogan
Bitch, get a job!
I'm not your mother!
I didn't give birth to you!
You didn't have fucking kids with me!
God damn it!
Melissa Etheridge was really funny when she was talking about that.
She gives alimony to two different chicks.
I go, what happened?
She goes, bitches are crazy.
unidentified
Melissa Etheridge is a badass bitch.
joe rogan
She's a badass bitch.
I say that with all due respect.
I call you a bad-ass bitch.
I can call anybody I love a bad-ass bitch.
Look at you, you bad-ass bitch.
That's 100% respectful.
joey diaz
Where you at this weekend, bro?
You at the theater?
joe rogan
The car theater at the MGM with Tommy Segura and Tony Hinchcliffe in Vegas the night before the big fights.
joey diaz
I'm going to miss you guys.
joe rogan
I'm going to miss you too.
Where you at?
joey diaz
I'm at the Atlanta Improv.
joe rogan
I heard that's a good spot.
joey diaz
Nice spot.
Brian Cowan was the king.
joe rogan
He's the king there?
They don't have the punchline anymore.
But they did a punchline comedy night at a fucking backyard the other day.
They had some gated community.
They have some crazy community somewhere outside of Atlanta.
It's like one of those engineered communities.
They have all these recreations.
It's a gated community.
But they had this punchline comedy night.
And all these people are sitting outside.
And they decided to have a comedy night at their...
brian redban
Did you say the punchline's not open anymore?
joe rogan
It's not open anymore.
brian redban
What they did to the building or what happened?
joe rogan
I think they lost their lease, I'm assuming, but they've been there forever, forever.
Or they might have decided it doesn't make sense to keep the lease.
I don't know exactly what happened.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
They're looking for another spot.
brian redban
That green room sucked anyway.
unidentified
No, it was.
joe rogan
It was kind of cool.
That was the green room that had a little sign on the wall that said, quit trying to be Hicks.
brian redban
Yeah.
But you also got trapped there because you had the only way to enter or exit that green room was walking through the whole entire audience.
joe rogan
That's also the green room where Seth Petruzzelli fought Kimbo Slice, and I called the fight right before it happened.
Ken Shamrock got injured warming up for the first fight, and then all of a sudden, instead of Ken, Kimbo Slice had to fight Seth Petruzzelli, and I went, what?!
And as soon as I saw it, I'm like, oh my god, Seth Petruzzelli's going to fuck him up.
Like, this is a terrible fight for him.
Petruzzelli's a bad motherfucker.
So I watched that.
I was like, this is a terrible matchup.
And everybody's like, you're crazy.
Kimbo's a world beater.
I'm like, dude, wait till you see what happens here.
And it happened within like eight seconds.
Just as soon as the fight started, Petruzzelli knocks him out.
And I go, see?
I called it.
Seth Petruzzelli's a bad motherfucker.
But I was like, if I didn't call it, you would never see this.
We would hide this.
It was a crazy little green room, man.
That was a good little spot.
brian redban
Yeah, I mean, just walking to it sucked.
I always thought it was a back door or something to it.
joe rogan
Yeah, walking sucked, but that was part of the fun of that club.
It was kind of wonky.
There's that weird wonky upstairs, remember?
It's that weird spot.
unidentified
I'll show it.
joe rogan
Look at that manly beard.
God damn it, I didn't grow another beard.
joey diaz
I always died in a slow death at that club.
joe rogan
What's that?
joey diaz
I always die this little bit.
joe rogan
You wouldn't now.
Guarantee people know what the fuck you're doing.
When I used to bring you there, people didn't know what to make of you.
joey diaz
Oh my God.
They were so confused.
They fucking hated me there.
joe rogan
Well, you were in this position back then where either they got it or they didn't get it.
joey diaz
No, but I wasn't working hard then either.
I was going up there coked up like from the night before, not even feeling it.
You know, when you have coke in your blood from the night before, dog...
joe rogan
Does it depress you the next day?
joey diaz
No, it wasn't a depression.
It's like, you know, you got high.
Like, I would get high, like, Mondays, Wednesdays, and then the fucking weekend was coming.
You gotta warm up, you know?
And the first night, you'd have, like, a good show.
There's none that have a good show, but then I got a hold of that shit.
And then Friday was rough, and then Saturday was even rougher because you're more discommunicated.
Disconnected.
Disconnected is the word.
So I would go up there, die, and then have to see those people, and I fucking hated them, and they hated me.
joe rogan
So for the longest time for you, that cocaine was like a real anchor around your neck.
joey diaz
30 fucking years.
I was telling my wife this morning, the whole 90s.
You figure the whole 90s.
joe rogan
How did you kick it?
joey diaz
Did I kick it?
I told you, I just kicked it.
I don't fucking know.
I just didn't want...
I didn't want...
Listen, bro, like I told you, I have a fucking revenge gene.
Okay?
You'd rather fucking get ten dicks up your ass than have somebody come to you and say, Joey Diaz died from an overdose.
I was not going to let that happen.
I was not going to let people come up to you and go, see, I told you.
And I definitely didn't want my wife to find me on the floor.
Listen, you could find me on the floor.
Red Band could never handle it.
Red Band would never be the same again if he found me on the floor.
Never.
Red Band would fucking...
God, because he doesn't have that DNA. Neither does this poor guy.
You do.
You can find anybody on the floor.
It'd be tough for you to deal.
joe rogan
I don't know what to think about that.
joey diaz
It'd be tough for you to deal.
You're a strong, you know what I'm saying?
You would put it in perspective a lot quicker than Red Band could.
Red Band would take two years.
joe rogan
You're talking about him like he's not right there.
joey diaz
No, I'm not saying something bad about Red Band.
Red Band's got a great soul.
When I first met Red Band, I would talk.
This kid would leave the room.
He didn't know what to make of me.
unidentified
The Columbus days?
joey diaz
Yeah.
He didn't know.
So what I'm saying is there's some people who could find a guy on the floor and live with it, and there's some people who can't digest it.
They can't.
I didn't want two things.
I didn't want Terry finding me on the floor.
I definitely didn't want to die in a hotel room on the fucking road.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
And that was my main playground.
You know what the embarrassing that is?
They got to go get you in the hotel room naked.
joe rogan
That's what I'm jumping at.
joey diaz
With Jerkoff juice on your leg.
joe rogan
Hopefully.
joey diaz
And some chick who left at 3 in the morning and then people are going to say, I told you, Joe Rogan.
That was never going to happen in my lifetime.
In my lifetime, that was not going to happen.
I was not going to OD from Cope.
I couldn't give them the satisfaction even after the fucking fact.
That's how deep my revenge gene runs.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
You got clean because you wanted to get back at the people that would have been happy if you died.
joey diaz
Oh, please.
Would have been happy if I died from that.
They would have loved to look at you in the face and go, I told you so.
There's people that live for that shit.
That once they have an opinion, they live by it.
joe rogan
Let me tell you something, though.
I've said I told you so a shitload of times now.
I get to say I told you so now.
I get to say I told you so to a lot of fucking agents.
I've had some stupid conversations with people back in the day.
unidentified
Stupid.
joe rogan
Where they were trying to tell me you weren't talented, you weren't funny.
I'm like, you need to shut the fuck up.
You don't know what you're talking about.
joey diaz
Listen, man, when you're on the drug, when you're on any drug...
You get stuck in that emotional state where you started that drug, where that drug really became something else for you.
Listen, when we do, when I go right, when I leave now and I go to the pharmacist and I get Anivar, it starts off great.
I eat one Anivar three times a day.
joe rogan
What's an Anivar?
joey diaz
Anivar is a steroid, a light steroid to get the burn victim.
joe rogan
Oh, okay, I've heard of that.
joey diaz
Okay, but once I start seeing that, That thing.
Then I become something else.
When chicks start coming up to me and going, Joey, we love your arms and we love your back.
It becomes an emotional thing.
joe rogan
Okay.
joey diaz
So now I'm shooting Decker.
Now I'm chasing that dragon, that feeling.
Well, when you start doing, you do a fucking line of coke because you're an emotional fucking wreck.
When you do it, you don't even know it at times.
You become an emotional wreck from any drug, those pills.
So for me, I got stuck emotionally.
The anger was stuck in me.
You can't move forward.
We've had this discussion.
You can't move forward.
joe rogan
Well, you've always said that it shuts off your soul.
joey diaz
Sure it does.
unidentified
Sure it does.
joe rogan
That's the way you described it.
It was like you just became a blank.
unidentified
Sure it does.
joey diaz
I wasn't happy.
I wasn't sad.
I wasn't mad.
I wasn't any of the above.
I had no emotions.
You faked the funk in a way.
joe rogan
Even in those days, you still were Joey Diaz.
joey diaz
Oh, I could still throw some fucking heat if you caught me after two days, if I sat down with a notebook, but it wasn't.
joe rogan
You still had a lot of talent.
There's still something about you.
That just, it was about you catching it.
I remember one time we worked together at Rascals, the West Orange.
joey diaz
West Orange.
joe rogan
Yeah, Rascals and West Orange.
And it was at the time when you made the transition.
You know how Nicole or Caitlyn Jenner, that was a transition?
There was a transition where you went from Joey Diaz, the guy who wants to be a comedian, to Joey Diaz, a great comedian.
I watched it happen.
It happened really quickly.
That was what was weird.
You had this period of time where you were real hit and miss.
If you went down, you went down hard.
Sometimes you would bomb multiple sets in a row.
It just wasn't clicking.
joey diaz
It wasn't clicking.
joe rogan
Then, boom.
You hit on it and figured out what it was.
Almost like you released something.
You had a demon inside it.
You pulled it out and you released it.
Then, all of a sudden, you were crushing it.
I remember, I think it was Tripoli and I were in the back by the back hallway.
And it was like one of the times where you just really started crushing.
And Tripoli was like, Joey Diaz is on another level.
I go, yeah, man.
Like, what the fuck?
Like, you just caught it.
Like, you caught a wave.
And all of a sudden, you were surfing.
And then from then on, you figured it out.
It was crazy.
Like, you went from being, like, a really funny guy offstage and an occasionally funny guy onstage, but often mediocre, to a monster.
Just monster.
Like, there was nights in the OR where you were destroying, and we were falling out of the backstage.
We would leave, like, laughing so hard, we would go down the back stairs, out into the hallway, and there'd be, like, two or three guys slapping their leg laughing.
joey diaz
I'd be dying on stage.
I love that.
The original room brings something out of you.
joe rogan
We're out of time.
joey diaz
We're out of time.
I love you, man.
Thank you for having me on.
Always.
unidentified
Anytime.
joe rogan
It was fun at our 4th of July barbecue, too.
joey diaz
Great to see you, too.
Jamie, yuck.
unidentified
Yuck!
Yuck!
joey diaz
I'm going to go home now and take a swimmer.
That's always a fucking blast.
joe rogan
His daughter just says yuck at everything.
Beautiful.
The first time she met me, she goes, yuck!
unidentified
But then she kissed you.
joe rogan
She kissed me.
unidentified
She kissed you.
joe rogan
She's yuck to everything.
Do you want to have some of this?
unidentified
Yuck!
joe rogan
But I showed her some ice cream and she went, oh, then that was our best friend.
Then it was a vanilla ice cream, man.
Joey Diaz, what is it?
The Periscope?
How do people get to it?
joey diaz
I don't know.
brian redban
Follow him on Twitter.
joey diaz
I always put it up on Twitter five minutes.
joe rogan
What time in the morning?
joey diaz
Five after eight.
joe rogan
Five after eight.
You gotta check that out.
Get your day started off with that.
Of course, Mad Flavor on Twitter.
Red Band on Twitter.
Show's coming up.
brian redban
Next week in Toronto and this week, Wednesday, Comedy Store with Steve-O. Good googly moogly.
joe rogan
Alright, friends.
We'll see you soon.
unidentified
Bye-bye.
joe rogan
Love you guys.
