fucking great so
better now that you're here I know I called you and I said Joe I really want to
do your podcast
again you said sure anytime buddy I know it was great I was I was very happy I
think I'm like oh
man you know I got so many people I go back my friend I know I tell everybody I
wear the watch
you gave me every special and I have since 2014 oh really yeah I didn't know
that detail that's
interesting detail you gave me a watch once it was the most ridiculously
generous thing ever I was
looking at your watch that's a nice watch you want it and you took it off and
gave it to me I'm like
Jesus Christ so I've worn it every special I've tried I've tried that with you
I was like Joe
that's a really nice Porsche yeah it is and you walked away oh it's a ploy I
see how it works
well it never worked it never worked so I took your advice and I started my
podcast I heard yes well
how many have you done so far uh I think I've done it maybe eight or nine maybe
are you enjoying it I'm
having a good time with it you know why'd you wait so long I don't know I
really don't I really wasn't
until you're prompting that I started to look into it and then you said you'd
be my first guest but I
was like let's let me get some people under my belt first get rolling yeah let
me get comfortable yeah
that's like you know becoming a white belt and go hey let me roll with you you're
like no don't do
that are you do you have a studio at your house like where do you have your
studio there's no studio I
just do it in my backyard oh nice like I have like a little porch area with
some of the humidor and then
we're sitting around like this we smoke cigars we have some drinks I like
outdoor uh podcasts yeah
Anthony Cumia used to do his in his backyard that was by force not by choice
but when he left uh New
York when he left Opie and Anthony when he went back to Long Island and uh and
built his little uh
the compound his compound yeah but he used to do it just like sitting out by
the pool yeah the pool's
right there and you know you'll hear planes go by and stuff it's nice but it's
like this it's just
conversation it's just hanging out I took a page out of your book I was like
people like what's it
going to be about I go I just want you to hear my me and my friends hanging out
and talking yeah you
know a little fly on the wall business there yeah that's all it needs to be
this idea that it needs
to be something it's very specific like what are you going to talk about like
you need an angle
yeah you need a hook yeah I'm like this there's no like I go I'm gonna have a
tough time
fucking sticking to that script yeah well uh I don't know though the some some
people do like
Ari has a theme for most of his podcasts Ari's a very themed thematic guy yeah
even when he came
up with the TV shows you know he would always have a theme and when he would
have those shows at
the store okay we're gonna do this night do you have a blah blah blah story for
that and I'm like
yeah you know which is good uh and and uh you know it it challenges the guest a
little bit
yeah which is nice but well that's how he came up with his show he came up with
the idea for his show
when he was um he was just trying to figure out ways to work on bits that are
storytelling form so he
said you know what I'll do I'll just do a whole storytelling show well you don't
do your act you
just tell a story right and then he set it up in the lab the old lab before it
became that weird lab and
the improv oh yeah yeah and Melrose there yeah and then he started doing it
there and then um next
thing you know it was a fucking Comedy Central show I know I did a couple of
those the uh this is not
happening I did this is not happening but then he had the other ones that he
would do live before he
was recording them yeah what did he call those um were those called this is not
happening as well no one of
some I think one variation of it was but uh earlier ones were some sort of like
road stories I can't even
remember why he stopped doing the show now I think it was because that's that
little uh episode happened
with uh when uh who died no it was before that was before that yeah somebody
else died I think that they
canceled him basically and then they replaced him with somebody else I'm trying
to remember what it was
god I can't remember they fuck with Ari a lot well Ari's a wild man he's always
a wild man but if you
know him legit wow he's a beautiful person I love him to death if you know him
he's a great guy he's
a great guy I love him I love him to death but he's a wild man but that's why
he's a great comic he's wild
you know I there's a lot of great comics they're wild we just got to be more
forgiving with those people
they don't mean to be bad yeah you got to understand people is what it is you
got to understand like I
always say it's about the intent you know it's not it's not what they're saying
oh look at the intent
look at see if see if there's something if they're actually being diabolical or
if they're just right
they're just not thinking yeah well it's like a lot of impulsiveness involved
in some folks in our
business you know and sometimes they think it's a good idea and you want to
call them up you know
right before they do it and catch them usually you don't yeah it goes out and
then you go hey no it's
like a social media post you know in the moment you're like this is going on i'm
feeling and i'm
going to put this out there and i've been guilty of it and i've and i've
stopped myself from it too at
the same time you know yeah there's a lot of uh comics that like social media
is not a healthy
thing for them it's it's just too there's too too much of a minefield you know
oh yeah fraught with
peril yeah and that's the thing i'm always careful about what i'm posting like
i have you know i have
this company that cuts my bits together for me and subtitles them and then they'll
send it to me i won't
i don't know what they're going to send me because it's always like crowd work
stuff that they're
sending because i don't want to burn material right and uh and i'm like that's
funny but i
know that this one line in there is going to cause a fucking storm of people to
be like what's wrong
with you you can't and i'm like you're missing the point pal dude i watched
stepbrothers the other day
you could not make that movie today you could not make it and it was so good
you can't make a lot of
things that we made five years ago today you can you imagine if they tried to
make stepbrothers today but
by the way here's a question when was the last time you saw a really good funny
movie like a recent
funny movie we have not we have not they don't exist it's it's hard because
they're trying to incorporate
too much well you're trying to be woke you're trying to apply these rules that
are created by these
people that just want to kind of control people's ability to express themselves
well they want you to
show this world that matches their imaginary world you're like but that's not
my world not only that
it's like come on man you do you really get offended when you watch stepbrothers
does that offend you
you got offended by stepbrothers you've got issues that's why i don't feel like
the people are getting
offended have their own things that they're dealing with yeah and they just
need somebody to blame well
they're just deciding what people can can't say and don't you know whatever
they think is non-acceptable
now in this new world of just calling out everybody for everything i think
about my act when i started
like 32 years ago and i'm like holy shit jesus what the was wrong with me so
many problems so problematic
hey uh did you watch the canelo fight this weekend i was working you didn't see
it at all i saw the
highlights jesus he broke his face bro he hit so hard broke that orbital bone
he's one of those guys
that like you know some guys just have power right but he works on it all the
time that's what i say
he's the most in every fight he's the most improved fighter he always goes back
and fixes anything he saw
wrong yep well the danny jacobs fight remember this head movement yep it's i
mean it gave danny problems
we give anybody problems but it was also like he was showing his head movement
in that fight yeah
because they used to say he just walked right in and then he fixed it there was
a video there's a video
of deontay wilder uh yesterday i saw it and he's looking really good malik malik
scott king is training
him now what is he doing with him oh he looks like a completely different
fighter i think if you could find
that oh is he like using a lot of jabs and yeah and he's planting his feet and
he looks like a boxer
now he doesn't look like a wild man just leaping off his feet and throwing
these wild punches he looks
and i'm excited to see his him fight now because he looked really sharp look
like a real boxer now
don't you think he needs a few fights like that with lower lower tier
competition look at that yeah
look at that sitting on him bam the jab is very important but he's gonna need
some you know some
tune-up fights don't you think he should definitely have a just to see how that
style works in the ring
but he's moving you see the way he's moving he never moved like that again he's
a guy that has
preposterous power yeah isn't it power so weird you know it is because he's so
thin you're like
where's it coming from well tommy hearns yeah well tommy yeah tommy hearns had
he knocked roberto
duran out cold the only guy ever second round there's just guys that just have
preposterous
power and canelo is a guy that has power but is constantly working on there's a
great clip of him
working with uh andy ruiz and they're uh you know that one that shield that
weird hand shield yeah
they hold on you hold which for hooks yeah and he's like this is not for speed
this is just power just
power he's like don't don't try to be fast with this just power and you see
everything is and so
in that fight with billy joe and billy joe kept doing that that same lean over
and over like after
he would punch he would lean out of the way and he just timed it perfectly with
that uppercut yep
and threw everything in it oh that's the thing he he really watches you in a
fight he's not like some
some knucklehead who knows how he really pays it he's very aware and to me i
was never a canelo guy
before but after the past five fights i was like you know what uh if i'm not a
canelo fan now i'm a
fucking hater yeah but i am a fan now because i really appreciate his work
ethic you know the way he
fucking look at this see it's it's about power yeah see this is this is the
thing they're working on
they just and he'll do that over and over and over again so he's a guy who
already had big
power but he's constantly working and developing that power so like in a fight
like the saunders
fight there was massive consequences to anything that saunders did did you see
how about that
i watched that chris areola fight yeah chris areola cracked him he did a few
times he had him on queer
street a couple times yeah are you allowed to say queer street yes you can
stick you see it's an odd
street it's an odd street well queer is not even uh it's not derogatory like
queer is a distinction like
it's a part of lbgtq yeah queer it's okay which is interesting right because
queer used to be
derogatory my dad used to use that as a derogatory term to me i'd wear like i
came on a pink shirt
my god have you become queer and i'm like what your father's accent's amazing
does he really talk like
that he used to talk about have you become queer and i'm like what my head used
the my son would use
the like he was he was an english major so he would always pick these words i'd
make it go what the
fuck my like my brother would like my we all lived in the same house
