the Joe Rogan experience between sets I went over to Greenblatt's to get a cup
of coffee and I'm with this screenplay writer his name was Mark I forgot his
last name actually sorry sorry Mark anyway we're getting coffee and here
comes this guy you know Rick Rubin with the beard the whole lot and he's with
this little like heavyset guy man here comes some asshole you know and he goes
yeah can I can I you know we soft-spoken can I speak with you a minute and I I
do
have a Brooklyn attitude I'll admit it you know and I go yeah well yeah what
can I
do for you pal I gotta do another show you know and then the guy mark that's
with me goes aren't you Rick Rubin and I'm looking at him I'm going who's Rick
he
goes he basically created rap and Rick goes yeah I I want to do an album with
you and I don't want to bother you I'm gonna go next door much the second show
you know because I had to do another show and that's how me and Rick met and we
wound up doing five albums together hmm you know and we were a great team
together I mean you know he's Rick Rubin and I mean sometimes we would disagree
but
tell you can't get Rick mad he's an interesting cat well very different human
being right oh it's you know I say to Rick one time you know when when dice
rules
that where I do grease lightning that was dice rules the album okay besides the
movie and I go did they yeah I was at West Westwood one radio something like
that
and on the way back you know I say to Rick I go did they put up all the posters
like you said they
were gonna do you know and he goes I suppose and I'm looking at I go you're the
boss don't you
know well I told him to put it up yeah like you can't get even if he didn't
like something on an album
and you know I could get heated you know I'm that kind of personality I'm like
I don't give a fuck
it's not your fucking album well then I suppose you'll do what you like don't
you ever get mad
didn't you ever have a fight and he goes actually I never had a fight mmm I go
you never got a punch in
the face I go he goes no I go well you're about to if you don't just get mad at
me at least like
yell at me but great guy and we had great experience so when it came to the day
the laughter died so me
and Rick put out hit albums and this is right like I think after dice rules
these are high powered comedy
albums to sell millions of copies so this you're like Mitzi's involved in this
is great so me and
Rick are talking and I go you know you know how much I love going on late at
night and just you know no
reaction because that's how my career got made I was always like one of the
last few acts at night at the
comedy store you know of course of the kind of stuff I did so this you know
people sitting quiet you got
a drunk in the front with his head on the table and you got four people that
are just too tired to
leave you've had those oh yeah you know and I go I want to do like the ultimate
late night set you
know and he sort of had the same thought process like we just go unsuspecting
crowd you know and this
is like you would say at the height of doing the arenas what you know craziness
surrounded me at
that time it was like the Lady Gaga of stand-up comedy you know and now I just
want to go up in
front of a few people with no notes with no idea of what the albums gonna be
and we we do three nights at
danger fields and it winds up the double cd the day the laughter died okay and
I'm just loving it you
know the silence the smoke you could hear me smoke you know people walking out
you know we and we didn't
cut any of it you know like I said keep it in there you know it's great you
know I really got angry you
know at this family that came in see this will lead to could set me up for
Saturday Night Live to tell you
stuff but so that this family comes in these real out of town is from i don't
know
midwest bible belt you know whatever they were but they were all wearing the
same coat and the
same hat with the with the ball on top two daughters mother father and they're
sitting in
the front and the more i got into them the more the father laughed and i got
angry at that because
i'm going this guy i would imagine in my mind that this guy really looks to
around with his
daughters they were old enough you know they were like i don't remember the
ages but i don't know
young 20s late teens and i'm going why is this motherfucker laughing when i'm
doing this instead
of going like cut it out because i know if i was sitting there with my two
daughters and some
comic some on stage is going so you like to have her on your lap or whatever i
said on the album
you know i'd look at the guy go walk away from me and my family or there's a
problem you know that's
how i would get this guy's laughing and i'm angry about it you know so the more
he would laugh the
more i would go after this but there's also no laughs that's the part i did
enjoy the actual
silence of the room or somebody walking out and yelling what's that there's a
famous one
line on that you're about as funny as a glass of milk you know the album better
than me which is
ridiculous why would you not that's it i love that album
