Tuesday and the debate day between Mr. Trump

00:00:47.890 --> 00:00:51.670
and a cackling idiot. Should be good. I can't

00:00:51.670 --> 00:00:54.509
imagine that she's doing this, dude. The fact

00:00:54.509 --> 00:00:56.909
that you haven't given an interview without your

00:00:56.909 --> 00:00:59.390
fucking shitty VP sitting there and it was edited.

00:00:59.990 --> 00:01:04.409
Exactly. She hasn't done one fucking live interview

00:01:04.409 --> 00:01:06.810
to answer questions about her policies. It's

00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:10.890
fucking insane. It is insane. Oh, did you see?

00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:13.129
I don't know when it was released, but I just

00:01:13.129 --> 00:01:16.349
saw it today. I want to read this for the people

00:01:16.349 --> 00:01:20.590
out there that, you know, don't know Trump's

00:01:20.590 --> 00:01:26.439
platform. It's a 20 -point platform. Number one,

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:28.959
seal the border and stop the migrant invasion.

00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:33.959
Good thing or bad thing? Yeah. Somehow that's

00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.060
racist. Well, here's where it gets really racist

00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:39.640
because he's going to carry out the largest deportation

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.579
operation in American history. So racist he wants

00:01:42.579 --> 00:01:45.019
to get rid of illegal people that are here. So

00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:48.840
weird. So fucking weird, isn't it? Three, end

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.760
inflation, make America affordable again. Thank

00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.560

thing to do but yes that seems very uh hitler

00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:45.259
-esque to me oh totally yeah Here's the one I

00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:47.959
don't like because he wants to stop the migrant

00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.199
crime epidemic and demolish the foreign drug

00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.439
cartels. I still want the drug cartels to operate

00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.839
because I want some drugs in this country. But

00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.279
no, I'm just kidding. Demolish foreign drug cartels,

00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:01.019
crush gang violence and lock up violent offenders.

00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.319
Yes, please. On all. You mean destroy the humanitarian

00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.779
crisis that's happening on our southern border

00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:09.910
every day? By the coyotes bringing in all these

00:05:09.910 --> 00:05:13.029
people and these kids and fucking raping and

00:05:13.029 --> 00:05:16.709
pillaging and basically selling them into servitude

00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:20.209
and slavery. Yeah, that's fine. Very Hitler -esque

00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:22.149
to get rid of all that stuff. We should give

00:05:22.149 --> 00:05:25.110
those people $150 ,000 to buy a new house. Yeah,

00:05:25.209 --> 00:05:28.689
let's do that in California. You're here illegally?

00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:31.069
Oh, here you go. Here's $150 ,000 and you get

00:05:31.069 --> 00:05:33.829
a no interest loan to buy a home. Californians?

00:05:33.930 --> 00:05:36.860
Nah, fuck you. We don't worry about you. Only

00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.180
a huge homeless problem that we've had here forever,

00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.680
but now we're going to give it to illegal people

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.500
rather than our own. $24 billion deficit, but

00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:45.839
yeah, let's hand out a bunch of money to the

00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.800
illegals. Sounds fun. Crazy, bro. Number 10,

00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.439

killing people's cats, and they just murdered

00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.500
some kid. Have you heard this? Have you seen

00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:22.319

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.980
that are here, they're rounding up people's cats

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:28.560

or immigrant, just illegal immigrant, just killed

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.019
an 11 -year -old kid in Texas or somewhere. Jesus.

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:37.899
Is this just for fun with the cats, or is it

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:39.959
just, like, what they want to eat? Like, why

00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.019

Again, I don't have cats because I'm allergic,

00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:55.399

00:06:58.459 --> 00:07:00.319
of the fucking people they're letting in here,

but Jesus Christ, you're killing cats to eat

00:07:16.980 --> 00:07:19.639
just because it's... your food that you like

00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.100

No, we're all good. Just send all of our money

00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:19.839
elsewhere. It's all good. I mean, I mean, we

00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.800

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.180
and something billion dollars to do here anyway.

00:08:24.259 --> 00:08:27.220

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:18.899
as world reserve currency. Good. 14, fight for

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:21.480
and protect Social Security and Medicare with

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:25.139
no cuts, including no changes to the retirement

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:28.669
age. So they don't want to raise the age, which

00:09:28.669 --> 00:09:31.389
is... Well, that's a whole issue on its own.

00:09:31.909 --> 00:09:33.990
Yeah. I'm curious to see how he will fix that,

00:09:34.049 --> 00:09:36.409
because let me tell you what, apparently it has

00:09:36.409 --> 00:09:38.889
about nine years or ten years left of money in

00:09:38.889 --> 00:09:41.289
it, and then it's fucked. Well... Insolvent.

00:09:41.669 --> 00:09:44.509
You just keep fucking putting tariffs on these

00:09:44.509 --> 00:09:46.629
other countries that want to import shit here

00:09:46.629 --> 00:09:48.350
and take some of that money, dump it in the Social

00:09:48.350 --> 00:09:49.730
Security. I don't know. I mean, I'm not running

00:09:49.730 --> 00:09:52.899
for president, but... he has some some kind of

00:09:52.899 --> 00:09:54.600
answer oh that's that's one of the things commonly

00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.820
keeps saying he wants to tear he wants to put

00:09:56.820 --> 00:09:58.759
tariffs on all your goods and make everything

00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.860
more expensive but she leaves out the part of

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:05.220
no federal income tax that's part of the plans

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:08.620
right but why would you know why would she state

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:10.639
the obvious and put in that little piece of fact

00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.620
that you know would change the whole dynamic

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:16.559
of that statement because she's a moron and evil

00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.220
i mean if you look at her just her eyes dude

00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:22.480
they look like what a demon's eyes would look

00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.100
like in every speech. You barely see any white

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:30.360
around the plaque. It just looks like evil eyes.

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.100
And I know that's stupid to say, but it's true.

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:39.120
Look it up, people. Look at her speak. 15. Cancel

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.620
the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and

00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:47.039
burdensome regulations. Right. Beautiful. So

00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.559
if you want to buy an electric vehicle. You certainly

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.840
are allowed to. If you want to buy a gas vehicle,

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.639
you certainly are allowed to. That's called freedom.

00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:58.559
Right. There you go. And they're making them

00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:04.779
a lot better, too. 16, cut federal funding for

00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:08.519
any school pushing critical race theory, radical

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.559
gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial,

00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:16.639
sexual, and political content on our children.

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.720
There you go. Schools for learning, not for indoctrination.

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:23.820
Right. But how great is that, that that's part

00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:27.320
of his 20 -point plan? Well, how sad is it that

00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.340
it has to be in his 20 -point plan? That's the

00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:31.080
sad state of the Democrat Party. That's where

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.000
they've put us. Right. That's how fucking crazy

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.500
the country is, that that has to be stated as

00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:39.399
a policy agenda. Right. But the fact that he

00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.600
put that in there shows that, you know, he cares

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.720
about our kids and fucking teaching them these

00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:51.639
crazy things. Number 17, keep men out of women's

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.779
sports. Again, nuts that that has to be in there.

00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:58.259
Radical. Radical. How many more points you have?

00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:01.419
There's only three more, so 18, 19, 20. This

00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:04.659
one's my favorite. Deport pro -Hamas radicals

00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:07.399
and make our college campuses safe and patriotic

00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:12.620
again. Let's go. Yeah, stop anti -Semitism. Yeah.

00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:15.139
Sounds good. Sounds good, right? I don't know

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:17.659
when that became okay to do. Like, it was...

00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:20.820
Oh, it became okay to do when Hamas attacked

00:12:20.820 --> 00:12:23.059
fucking Israel. Isn't that nuts, though, dude?

00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.100
I mean, the kind of racism that comes out of

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:30.299
the liberals when it's okay for them to do it,

00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:33.179
like, it's accepted. It's scary. It's fucking

00:12:33.179 --> 00:12:36.919
wild. Well, that's the nature of liberals. That's

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.940
the nature of the Democrat Party. They started

00:12:38.940 --> 00:12:42.019
as the party of slavery. They formed the KKK.

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:44.759
They fought the Civil War to keep their slaves

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:48.200
in the South. This is the roots of the Democrat

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.679
Party. Whether you like that or know that or

00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.279
not, those are the facts, and that's how it is.

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.419
The modern Democrat Party is just an extension

00:12:57.419 --> 00:12:59.919
of that. They just hide it in a different way.

00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:04.080
That's why they have all the Dem run inner cities

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.960
are fucking shitholes because they want them

00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.950
to be that way. And it will forever stay that

00:13:09.950 --> 00:13:12.370
way as long as we keep voting them into power.

00:13:13.110 --> 00:13:15.509
100%. You have a fucking track record to show

00:13:15.509 --> 00:13:21.929
it. Yep. Sorry. My fellow Democrats out there

00:13:21.929 --> 00:13:25.049
that think their party is still party of the

00:13:25.049 --> 00:13:28.429
people and centrist and for the working man and

00:13:28.429 --> 00:13:34.309
not about war and big pharma, that's your party

00:13:34.309 --> 00:13:38.200
now. You are the radicalized party. We are the

00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.679
resistance. You root for the resistance in every

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.860
fucking movie you watch. And now you're rooting

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:50.179
for the actual evil people. That's what's a trip.

00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:54.100
Crazy. Punk rockers, your fucking rock and rollers,

00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.899
all these idiots that fucking support Kamala

00:13:56.899 --> 00:13:59.460
on the left that are supposed to be in these

00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:02.360
rebellious fucking art forms. You're not rebelling

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.389
against shit. You are the problem. exactly you

00:14:05.389 --> 00:14:07.789
are the problem uh we're gonna have to talk about

00:14:07.789 --> 00:14:09.850
this uh when we go to bobby's world but he's

00:14:09.850 --> 00:14:11.870
saying he thinks he's bringing in rfk as his

00:14:11.870 --> 00:14:15.529
vp he's already said who his vp is so if he changes

00:14:15.529 --> 00:14:18.029
on we could switch out i know but you should

00:14:18.029 --> 00:14:19.970
have done that from the beginning real quick

00:14:19.970 --> 00:14:23.590
uh i was listening to cash patel on sean ryan

00:14:23.590 --> 00:14:28.129
show and when he he you know cash patel was one

00:14:28.129 --> 00:14:30.289
of the key guys that they were going after in

00:14:30.289 --> 00:14:34.259
russia gate ah but he was uh he was uh Trump's

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:40.000
assistant DNI, but he was talking about how when

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.899
Trump came into office the first time, his number

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:45.240
one priorities were border security, like tier

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:47.620
one priorities, border security, make America

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:52.080
great again, bring in jobs, cut taxes. When Biden

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.340
came into office, their tier one things they

00:14:56.340 --> 00:15:02.009
wanted to get done were DEI. And all these radical

00:15:02.009 --> 00:15:04.429
fucking leftist agendas. That's what they put

00:15:04.429 --> 00:15:06.789
at the top of their list to get done in America.

00:15:06.850 --> 00:15:09.990
Not to keep America safe, not to secure our borders,

00:15:10.129 --> 00:15:14.210
not to fucking bring in jobs. DEI and all this

00:15:14.210 --> 00:15:16.629
fucking radical leftist bullshit. That's their

00:15:16.629 --> 00:15:21.789
tier one, you know, objectives. And to like do

00:15:21.789 --> 00:15:24.590
a 180 on everything Trump had done, whether it

00:15:24.590 --> 00:15:29.330
was or not. Not another inch of wall will be

00:15:29.330 --> 00:15:31.570
built under my administration. That was like

00:15:31.570 --> 00:15:34.870
what he said day one of his fucking time in office.

00:15:34.929 --> 00:15:39.070
And look what we got with that. Yeah. And everyone's

00:15:39.070 --> 00:15:41.509
like, oh, it's fine. It's right. Walls are racist.

00:15:41.889 --> 00:15:44.169
And then for three years, there was no border.

00:15:44.250 --> 00:15:45.769
There's no problem at the border. And all of

00:15:45.769 --> 00:15:47.429
a sudden this year, there's a problem at the

00:15:47.429 --> 00:15:50.549
border. We have to address the Dems. The election

00:15:50.549 --> 00:15:53.740
year comes up and wait a minute. We've been talking

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:55.740
about a problem at the border for fucking three

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:58.480
years, but all of a sudden, it didn't exist,

00:15:58.620 --> 00:16:01.360
but now it does. Okay, got it. And Kamala's going

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.759
to fix it. And she wasn't the border czar, even

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.200
though fucking footage of everybody, including

00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.500
Joe Biden, saying she's our border czar numerous

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:15.539
times. This is called real -time gaslighting.

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:18.919
It's what they do all day long. Don't trust your

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.080
eyes. Whatever you saw was wrong. We're going

00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.440
to tell you what we want you to think, people.

00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:27.799
People. All right, last two, we'll bring in our

00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:31.159
guest. 19, secure our elections, including same

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.740
-day voting, voter identification, paper ballots,

00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.480
and proof of citizenship. Let's go. Sounds racist.

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:41.379
Very. Unite our country by bringing it to new

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:44.279
and record levels of success. Boom, shakalaka,

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.580
look it up. And guess who gets the benefit from

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:50.090
that? Everybody. All of us Americans. The whole

00:16:50.090 --> 00:16:53.889
country. And the world. Yeah. All right, let's

00:16:53.889 --> 00:16:57.669
bring in our lovely guest, Mr. Joe S., or I think

00:16:57.669 --> 00:17:00.350
it's Scrocca, but I'm not sure on that. We will

00:17:00.350 --> 00:17:03.990
get confirmation. We will get confirmation. Joe,

00:17:04.109 --> 00:17:06.650
if you are there, you could unmute and then also

00:17:06.650 --> 00:17:11.630
start your video. Hello, hello, Joe. Hello, Joe.

00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:16.049
Okay, can you hear me? Yes, sir. All right, how

00:17:16.049 --> 00:17:19.049
you doing? Doing well. How are you? Scrocca is

00:17:19.049 --> 00:17:23.269
right. Good job. Nice. Well, you know, one of

00:17:23.269 --> 00:17:25.750
those crazy Italian names like yours. I wouldn't

00:17:25.750 --> 00:17:30.210
have guessed. Italian. Paisan. Yeah, well. I'm

00:17:30.210 --> 00:17:32.809
just plain old Gracie, God damn it. Well, you

00:17:32.809 --> 00:17:36.589
know. Kind of a cool last name. You could always

00:17:36.589 --> 00:17:40.349
be Italian by friendship, right? Yes. Or by injection,

00:17:40.710 --> 00:17:47.049
as they say. Well, I'm not. I'm meeting you guys

00:17:47.049 --> 00:17:48.809
for the first time now, so I don't want to get

00:17:48.809 --> 00:17:52.470
too familiar and say that yet. Maybe by the end

00:17:52.470 --> 00:17:55.529
of the show, we could include that. Yes. I was

00:17:55.529 --> 00:17:57.789
kind of briefly telling the audience that we

00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:00.769

00:19:27.210 --> 00:19:28.630
she's really not my ex -wife. My wife passed

00:19:28.630 --> 00:19:30.849
away 10 years ago, cancer, great woman, great

00:19:30.849 --> 00:19:33.349
relationship. We were kids. We got married. And

00:19:33.349 --> 00:19:35.650
then since then I dated some crazy women. So

00:19:35.650 --> 00:19:38.509
like, uh, I was in a relationship for almost

00:19:38.509 --> 00:19:40.490
nine years that I got out of about a year ago,

00:19:40.529 --> 00:19:45.869
last August of 23. And, uh, you know, great woman

00:19:45.869 --> 00:19:47.869
but she started to get a little goofy she started

00:19:47.869 --> 00:19:50.069
getting addicted to those cannabis gummies you

00:19:50.069 --> 00:19:52.410
know to have one to relax have one to have fun

00:19:52.410 --> 00:19:54.650
with but she was like eating two and three a

00:19:54.650 --> 00:19:56.990
day it was it was getting out of hand one day

00:19:56.990 --> 00:19:59.289
i'm at her house and she just decides to get

00:19:59.289 --> 00:20:01.210
up on the couch pull down her pants and pee on

00:20:01.210 --> 00:20:03.509
me and i'm thinking this is getting too weird

00:20:03.509 --> 00:20:05.329
yeah it wasn't anything sexual we weren't in

00:20:05.329 --> 00:20:07.630
bed we weren't you know having fun it wasn't

00:20:08.109 --> 00:20:11.250
It was just out of the blue. And I'm like, okay,

00:20:11.349 --> 00:20:13.150
this is getting weird. She had no explanation

00:20:13.150 --> 00:20:15.650
for it. And she started getting weirder and weirder.

00:20:15.690 --> 00:20:17.549
I said, okay, enough's enough. So then from there,

00:20:17.589 --> 00:20:20.089
I went to a girl who was what I thought a recovering

00:20:20.089 --> 00:20:25.089
heroin addict, but. Stop recovering. And it just,

00:20:25.170 --> 00:20:28.269
it got crazier from there. And, you know, now

00:20:28.269 --> 00:20:30.829
I'm dating a woman now, you know, who supports

00:20:30.829 --> 00:20:33.009
me doing comedy, but she's probably one of the

00:20:33.009 --> 00:20:35.769
craziest of all. Yes. Met her about three months

00:20:35.769 --> 00:20:39.579
ago. Online. never met her before spoke to her

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:41.400
20 minutes on the phone our first date afternoon

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.799
date no alcohol involved every other word out

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.319
of her can i curse on this absolutely of course

00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.700
every other word out of her mouth was fuck she

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:51.839
used the word fuck in ways i've never heard it

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.299
heard before and i've heard it just about every

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:56.240
possible way then she tells me a story about

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.539
how she got a phone call from a telemarketer

00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:02.039
and she got pissed off at him and told him to

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.549
eat her fucking pussy Wow. Proceeds to tell me

00:21:05.549 --> 00:21:07.869
she goes to church and is offended that I use

00:21:07.869 --> 00:21:13.250
the word cock in my act. Then we take a walk

00:21:13.250 --> 00:21:16.190
to the beach, have a benign conversation, still

00:21:16.190 --> 00:21:18.049
no alcohol involved, and then just looked right

00:21:18.049 --> 00:21:23.630
at me and said, can you still fuck? I must have

00:21:23.630 --> 00:21:26.589

00:22:46.710 --> 00:22:48.509
beautiful shirt with a big yellow stain that

00:22:48.509 --> 00:22:50.309
I can't get out. And I have to explain to people

00:22:50.309 --> 00:22:54.140
I spilled lemonade. that's what i do every time

00:22:54.140 --> 00:22:56.240

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:04.990
ask you this man did you have any Because I know

00:23:04.990 --> 00:23:06.230
you hopped into this late in age, but did you

00:23:06.230 --> 00:23:09.410
have any inclinations before this that you wanted

00:23:09.410 --> 00:23:11.910
to do this? No, never. I mean, I loved going

00:23:11.910 --> 00:23:14.730
to comedy shows, loved seeing live comedy, watching

00:23:14.730 --> 00:23:19.089
comedy on TV. I mean, I grew up, I'm the original,

00:23:19.130 --> 00:23:23.329
like, HBO generation. You know, when I was a

00:23:23.329 --> 00:23:25.410
kid, HBO came on for the first time, and we're

00:23:25.410 --> 00:23:28.150
like, what? What did they just say? This is television.

00:23:28.710 --> 00:23:32.329
And, you know, George Carlin, you know, his early

00:23:32.329 --> 00:23:36.250
stuff that was on. cable uh uncensored um you

00:23:36.250 --> 00:23:38.609
know saw comedy specials and jerry seinfeld was

00:23:38.609 --> 00:23:41.210
just coming up uh some really great comedians

00:23:41.210 --> 00:23:43.069
and i just loved it i love going to comedy clubs

00:23:43.069 --> 00:23:45.089
i love seeing comedians but never never once

00:23:45.089 --> 00:23:47.849
said boy i could do that i i i think i would

00:23:47.849 --> 00:23:51.190
have fun doing that but a year ago uh towards

00:23:51.190 --> 00:23:52.690
the end of the summer there was a comedy club

00:23:52.690 --> 00:23:56.079
i'm down in south jersey in wildwood And there

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.519
was a comedy club in Wildwood. He didn't open

00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:00.180
this year, but I would go every weekend, got

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:02.539
to know the owner. I'm looking, I got to be friendly

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:04.539
with him. And I said, you know, I'd love to do

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:06.400
five minutes just for the hell of it. And he

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:08.140
said, okay, you've got your five minutes. So

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:10.660
I did that open mic the night before just to

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:13.319
make sure I could do it. And I got up there and

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:15.240
I did five minutes and he loved me, thought I

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:17.940
was funny. And I said, maybe I'll just keep trying

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:20.519
this and see what happens. And, you know, about

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:23.960
nine months later, I've been getting paid gigs

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:29.400
just about every week. I'm in a movie. It's crazy.

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:34.000
It's, you know, I've gone from, you know, just

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.440
doing open mics and contests to getting paid

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:39.880
shows. I opened for Steve Trevino in Pennsylvania.

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.460
I opened for Tony Woods down at Del Mar, Delaware.

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.660
I opened for Eddie Ifts in Stone Harbor this

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:48.299
summer. I mean, it's really cool to be able to

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:52.180
say, hey, I actually opened shows for this caliber

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:54.859
of acts, you know, five, six, seven months into

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:58.750
doing stand -up. Yes. Amazing. That's freaking

00:24:58.750 --> 00:25:01.549
awesome. Congratulations. Congrats is right,

00:25:01.630 --> 00:25:03.450
man. The first time you went up and did these

00:25:03.450 --> 00:25:05.690
five minutes, was this something you had written

00:25:05.690 --> 00:25:08.670
out beforehand? Were you just going off? So it

00:25:08.670 --> 00:25:13.789
was three bits that were all true things that

00:25:13.789 --> 00:25:17.730
happened to me. One was about, again, I don't

00:25:17.730 --> 00:25:19.589
refer to my wife. I would always refer to my

00:25:19.589 --> 00:25:23.630
wife in my bits as ex -wife. I'm no longer married

00:25:23.630 --> 00:25:25.430
because my ex -wife would make me do stupid stuff

00:25:25.430 --> 00:25:28.230
like take her to the gynecologist. And one day

00:25:28.230 --> 00:25:29.609
I'm in the exam room where they're holding her

00:25:29.609 --> 00:25:31.230
clothes and the doctor's under the little vagina

00:25:31.230 --> 00:25:33.309
tent doing whatever he does under there. And

00:25:33.309 --> 00:25:34.910
then he wheels out and he looks at me. Before

00:25:34.910 --> 00:25:37.450
he could say anything, I said, you saw your shadow,

00:25:37.609 --> 00:25:41.210
six more weeks of no sex. And that really happened.

00:25:41.329 --> 00:25:44.549
My wife had gynecological cancer and that happened

00:25:44.549 --> 00:25:46.210
at Jefferson Hospital. And I said that to the

00:25:46.210 --> 00:25:48.190
doctor the minute he did that. So, I mean, that's,

00:25:48.190 --> 00:25:51.470
but that's just. you know my crazy life the that

00:25:51.470 --> 00:25:55.250
happens and then i had another one where uh he

00:25:55.250 --> 00:25:56.910
said you know when i was a little kid my mother

00:25:56.910 --> 00:25:58.549
didn't think i knew my name so she bought me

00:25:58.549 --> 00:26:00.369
this ridiculous shirt that said hello my name

00:26:00.369 --> 00:26:02.869
is joseph john when i think back she was serving

00:26:02.869 --> 00:26:04.930
me up to the pedophiles on a silver platter with

00:26:04.930 --> 00:26:08.009
that shirt i wear the shirt to school one day

00:26:08.009 --> 00:26:10.009
and i'm walking home this weird guy in advance

00:26:10.009 --> 00:26:11.529
says hey joseph john why don't you get in the

00:26:11.529 --> 00:26:13.950
van i've got some candy hey joseph john when

00:26:13.950 --> 00:26:16.920
i get in the van i've got a puppy I didn't know

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:18.759
who he was talking to. My mother was right. I

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.240
didn't know my fucking name. So, I mean, the

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.579
shirt's real, the shirt part happened, you know,

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:26.099
the pedophile thing didn't really happen, but,

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:28.819
but I have that shirt. So, you know, it's all,

00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:31.359
everything I talk about is based in some part

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:34.279
in things that have happened to me. And I just

00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:37.630
started saying, and. all three people in the

00:26:37.630 --> 00:26:42.630
audience that night laughed and and you know

00:26:42.630 --> 00:26:44.630
it was just it was just fun to get up there and

00:26:44.630 --> 00:26:48.109
just say okay you know i wasn't nervous i got

00:26:48.109 --> 00:26:51.569
it out i got laughs out of the audience all like

00:26:51.569 --> 00:26:53.349
i said all three people in the audience jeff

00:26:53.349 --> 00:26:55.390
the owner loved said you were very funny you

00:26:55.390 --> 00:26:59.109
should consider doing this more often and i did

00:26:59.109 --> 00:27:03.259
here we are so amazing The fact that you can't

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:05.619
remember your name and it's Joseph John and those

00:27:05.619 --> 00:27:09.200
are like two of the easiest names to get. Maybe

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.000
it's good that you come up with stuff and stories

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:12.160
right off the bat, because I don't know if you

00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.940
could memorize a script. Well, I did know my

00:27:15.940 --> 00:27:18.359
name. My mother just didn't think I knew my name.

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:20.740
The back part of the story is just embellished.

00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:24.819
Right, right, right, right. There was no pedophile

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:28.160
in a van. But sure. But I do have the shirt because

00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.539
she really thought my mother. My mother thought

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:34.849
I was. less than normal because i wouldn't color

00:27:34.849 --> 00:27:37.369
in the lines i would just scribble yeah she actually

00:27:37.369 --> 00:27:39.589
went to a psychiatrist child psychologist and

00:27:39.589 --> 00:27:43.549
asked if my her son was retarded and you know

00:27:43.549 --> 00:27:46.109
i i actually started that bit out with that and

00:27:46.109 --> 00:27:47.529
i thought well you know what i don't want to

00:27:47.529 --> 00:27:49.789
say the r word a lot of people get offended at

00:27:49.789 --> 00:27:53.279
that Not that I'm poking fun at that. My mother

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:55.720
really asked a child psychologist that question.

00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:59.019
So it's just a true story. But, you know, even

00:27:59.019 --> 00:28:01.140
in truth, sometimes you just have to watch a

00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:03.460
little bit what you say. Yeah. Doesn't that suck,

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:05.980
man? I mean, I remember back in the day you could

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:08.900
say, oh, that's retarded or my God, that's gay.

00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:10.980
You didn't mean that was homosexual and bad.

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.940
You meant like, oh, that's gay. That's retarded.

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:14.759
It's like you weren't they're putting too much

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:18.359
weight on these terms and shit and making them

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:21.680
not PC to say. in comedy i feel like it should

00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.680
all be well you know it's you know i'm 63 and

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:28.019
i there's a term other people said other people

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:31.480
have used this term but i've used it the of america

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:33.440
i mean we've got two three generations of kids

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.619
that need their safe spaces that everything offends

00:28:35.619 --> 00:28:38.279
them you know my feeling always was hey look

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:43.660
if you aren't impacted financially you can live

00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:46.490
where you want to live get a job then it's no

00:28:46.490 --> 00:28:48.630
big deal. You know, the sticks and stones will

00:28:48.630 --> 00:28:50.230
break my bones, but names will never hurt me

00:28:50.230 --> 00:28:52.609
type of thing. And that stands true. I don't

00:28:52.609 --> 00:28:54.430
care, you know, what you say, bullying and all

00:28:54.430 --> 00:28:57.009
this nonsense, you know, it just, but it's just

00:28:57.009 --> 00:29:03.000
one of those things where, you know, it's. it's

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.059
just scary to see and like you said you know

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:07.640
in comedy it's an art and we shouldn't be restricted

00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:09.400
we should be able to let look if you come to

00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:12.839
a comedy show and you get offended that's not

00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:14.880
the comedian's fault that's your fault because

00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.079
you're coming to a comedy show right and and

00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.099
and don't you know don't try to restrain what

00:29:22.099 --> 00:29:25.180
somebody is saying and restrain their art form

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:27.779
let them let loose and if you don't like it don't

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:29.519
go right it's like if you don't like something

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.900
on tv change the channel same thing you don't

00:29:31.900 --> 00:29:33.859
like a comic and their content don't go to the

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:35.160
show don't go there and say oh i got offended

00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:37.359
because he said a word or he did a bit about

00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.200
you know it's it's it's nonsense it's ridiculous

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:44.619
well thank god it started i'm sorry chad oh god

00:29:44.619 --> 00:29:46.920
i was just saying ridiculous It is ridiculous.

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:49.259
But thank God he started at like this time, like

00:29:49.259 --> 00:29:50.799
a year ago, because if he would have started

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.519
like a year and a half ago, two years ago, my

00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.039
God, the audiences were really getting butthurt

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:57.960
at that point. You couldn't say anything. At

00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.220
least now they're coming around like, oh, shit,

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.579
we've got a little too woke. Let's dial it back

00:30:02.579 --> 00:30:07.299
and laugh at shit. But like right after lockdowns

00:30:07.299 --> 00:30:10.220
and COVID -19, the world got crazy. You couldn't

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:12.759
say anything without somebody getting offended,

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.920
man. I have little hope because my son is 14.

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:19.019
He goes to high school in Laguna beach and him

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:20.640
and all his friends make fun of the woke shit.

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:23.599
They call each other retards and whatever. I

00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:25.420
mean, so I'm thinking there's, there's hope for

00:30:25.420 --> 00:30:29.319
this, this young generation to, you know, bring

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:34.220
back a little levity. Because, you know, it's,

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:37.619
you know, how do you have fun if you're so uptight?

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:42.079
you know we just you know we just lived and we

00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:44.400
called each other's names we had you know fights

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.799
on the corner and went out for a coke afterwards

00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:49.579
you know that's that was how we grew up you know

00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:55.740
and um you know but i'm not gonna uh And unfortunately,

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.660
I can't. My career is too new to jeopardize being

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:00.779
canceled because it only takes one person that

00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:03.180
has a decent following to sit there and say,

00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:05.299
hey, I went and saw Joe Scrock and he said the

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:07.200
word retarded and it was offensive and he's an

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.200
awful person. He's a terrible. Don't go see him.

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:12.400
And, you know, as quick as it came, it went,

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:14.980
you know, not that I have any illusions of ever

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:18.720
getting. beyond much where i'm at now but you

00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:21.339
know i i enjoy i'm having fun doing what i'm

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:23.180
doing and i don't want it to not be fun when

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:24.980
it stops being fun i'm not going to do it anymore

00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:28.680
and if i start to get people commenting like

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:31.559
that then you know that that that is probably

00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:34.200
going to make me say this isn't for me anymore

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.079
not that i'm a quitter it's just i just don't

00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:40.259
i i just don't want to be in that under that

00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:44.150
you know under that microscope yeah That's not

00:31:44.150 --> 00:31:45.869
the vibe you want as a comedian. You don't want

00:31:45.869 --> 00:31:48.269
to be fighting everybody to get laughs. You want

00:31:48.269 --> 00:31:50.430
them to be having a good time and, you know,

00:31:50.430 --> 00:31:52.490
whatever. You don't want them to be, oh, he said

00:31:52.490 --> 00:31:54.890
this. I'm so offended. Meanwhile, they're not.

00:31:54.990 --> 00:31:56.990
They're just looking for the attention to say

00:31:56.990 --> 00:32:03.849
that. And, you know, it really can take away

00:32:03.849 --> 00:32:07.990
from some good humor. I mean, you know, I look

00:32:07.990 --> 00:32:10.069
at some old Eddie Murphy stuff. You know, I'm

00:32:10.069 --> 00:32:12.650
Italian. you know eddie murphy does the stuff

00:32:12.650 --> 00:32:14.490
about the italian guys it's hilarious oh well

00:32:14.490 --> 00:32:17.450
i'm italian he's he's black so he shouldn't really

00:32:17.450 --> 00:32:20.450
be talking about it it's hilarious i laugh my

00:32:20.450 --> 00:32:23.809
ass off you know talk about it make me laugh

00:32:23.809 --> 00:32:26.769
and that and that's that's how we have to live

00:32:26.769 --> 00:32:28.970
like that you know we can't live like oh well

00:32:28.970 --> 00:32:32.470
you know yeah you know he said a word he said

00:32:32.470 --> 00:32:37.029
told a story in the defense you know you can't

00:32:37.029 --> 00:32:39.579
be that uptight Some of these younger generations,

00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:43.819
they have huge mental health issues. They're,

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.480
you know, suicidal on a level that we haven't

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.599
seen in many, you know, many decades for a whole

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.359
generation. It's all because they're all tight

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.319
about everything. Right. Chill out. They're sheltered.

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:56.599
They're in a bubble. And the minute they're outside

00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:58.460
of that bubble, I mean. Right. They can't fucking

00:32:58.460 --> 00:32:59.920
handle it. Participation trophies and all this

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:01.559
nonsense. Right. What do you get in the real

00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:04.039
world? There are no participation trophies. You

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.099
did a good job or a bad job. If you did a bad

00:33:06.099 --> 00:33:08.119
job, you lose your job, you know. Right. And

00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.500
we're not preparing the kids for the real world.

00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.680
And I agree with you. It's scary. shame to see,

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:16.160
you know, how sensitive these kids have been

00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:20.240
made in a bad way that they are, you know, hurting

00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.359
themselves or trying to kill themselves. It's,

00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:24.640
it's terrible. It's awful, you know, just, you

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:26.359
know, so, you know, George Carlin had an old

00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:29.259
bit about, you know, germs, you know, and how,

00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:31.619
how we were like, so uptight about COVID with

00:33:31.619 --> 00:33:33.519
the masks and everything. And, and, and George

00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:36.200
Carlin did a bit about, you know, if I eat, I'm

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:37.839
eating something that falls on the floor, I pick

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:39.960
it up and I eat it. That's how you build an immunity

00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:46.140
by eating. germs yeah right and and and so you

00:33:46.140 --> 00:33:50.519
know that whole uh attitude is gone everything

00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.519
everybody's got to live in a bubble everybody's

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:56.440
got to be you know wear a mask dude we used to

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:58.579
have something called the five second rule if

00:33:58.579 --> 00:34:00.099
it fell on the floor and it wasn't there for

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:02.619
five seconds that was the key you could pick

00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:06.119
it up and eat it For the most part. Depends on

00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.300
the floor, though. Depends on the floor. Not

00:34:08.300 --> 00:34:10.139
doing it on the bathroom floor or something,

00:34:10.260 --> 00:34:13.000
but your own floor that you know is clean or

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.679
whatever. Some of my friends thought I wouldn't

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:18.059
do that, but yeah. My mother's house where shoes

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:20.360
were off at the door and she was fucking cleaning

00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:23.059
up behind you as you walked, 100%. Five -second

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:27.530
rule. You talk about these kids being in a bubble,

00:34:27.590 --> 00:34:29.210
and then during COVID, they actually got to be

00:34:29.210 --> 00:34:32.530
in bubbles in some cases. Their dreams came true.

00:34:32.690 --> 00:34:35.110
They're like, I'm protected. I'm in my bubble.

00:34:35.909 --> 00:34:38.929
As a result, I think we ended up with a hell

00:34:38.929 --> 00:34:40.570
of a lot more deaths than we would have had because

00:34:40.570 --> 00:34:42.409
we would have just gone with the herd immunity

00:34:42.409 --> 00:34:44.929
and let it die out real quick instead of letting

00:34:44.929 --> 00:34:49.150
it mutate God knows how many times. Again, it's...

00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.460
My medical degree is not in virology. It's in

00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:57.059
comedy. Wow. You don't need a medical degree

00:34:57.059 --> 00:35:00.320
to see what happened. You need a medical degree

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.159
to have common sense nowadays, though, because

00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:04.840
the whole half of the world is dumb and doesn't

00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:08.579
have it. But Joseph John, is that really your

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:10.960
name? Yeah, Joseph John Scrocca Jr. When I was

00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.809
little, they called me JJ. nice so i'm john joseph

00:35:14.809 --> 00:35:16.809
and i always said as a kid growing up i'm like

00:35:16.809 --> 00:35:20.150
my parents got real uh crazy and creative while

00:35:20.150 --> 00:35:23.389
naming me they name gave me the two like most

00:35:23.389 --> 00:35:26.449
popular names on the planet john and joseph and

00:35:26.449 --> 00:35:28.090
then your parents went the opposite way joseph

00:35:28.090 --> 00:35:30.809
john so you gotta get hats off to our parents

00:35:30.809 --> 00:35:33.570
for being yeah yeah yeah you know the the creative

00:35:33.570 --> 00:35:37.809
italian parents yeah yeah man got a lot of uh

00:35:37.809 --> 00:35:40.130
they figure they gotta offset that the last name

00:35:40.130 --> 00:35:45.719
that people can barely given two easy names and

00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.000
then the one last name that's hard to say uh

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.860
so yeah don't be down on yourself and say this

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:55.420
is uh as far as you see uh go man if you're if

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:58.079
you're doing this for not even a year yet dude

00:35:58.079 --> 00:35:59.840
and this is where you're at man keep keep it

00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.019
going but yeah have it always be fun but don't

00:36:02.019 --> 00:36:04.320
uh sell yourself short and say you don't see

00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.360
yourself uh you know selling out stadiums or

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:09.489
some shit because i could see it dude Well, you

00:36:09.489 --> 00:36:12.849
know, I'm having fun. I'm having fun. I have

00:36:12.849 --> 00:36:15.510
no illusions. I see a lot of people out there

00:36:15.510 --> 00:36:17.730
who are a hell of a lot better than me that are

00:36:17.730 --> 00:36:21.289
playing the same on the same shows as me. And

00:36:21.289 --> 00:36:22.849
I'm thinking, well, if these guys haven't made

00:36:22.849 --> 00:36:26.429
it, what chance do I have of, of leapfrogging

00:36:26.429 --> 00:36:28.489
them? I mean, sure. There's always a chance you

00:36:28.489 --> 00:36:30.849
get lucky lightning strikes, but you know, if

00:36:30.849 --> 00:36:33.369
it does great, but I don't expect that. And if

00:36:33.369 --> 00:36:36.420
it happens. Like I said, I want to have fun and

00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:38.199
I love helping other comics. You know, I always

00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.480
talk to comics because, you know, my background's

00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:42.659
business. I'm a mortgage broker. I was an accountant

00:36:42.659 --> 00:36:46.119
by education. And so I know how to network. I

00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:49.940
know how to, you know, run my comedy as a business.

00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:53.320
So I'm always trying to tell young comedians,

00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:55.480
look, you always set some money aside, you know,

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:58.559
have a business card, you know, build a cheap

00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:01.440
website, have something where people can always

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.809
find you. and find your info and contact you.

00:37:06.849 --> 00:37:08.969
Because, you know, if you talk to a booking agent

00:37:08.969 --> 00:37:10.969
and give them your name and number and don't

00:37:10.969 --> 00:37:12.809
have anything in writing or you don't have your

00:37:12.809 --> 00:37:14.909
phone and you can't text them, they're not going

00:37:14.909 --> 00:37:16.789
to remember. And you're never going to, you know.

00:37:16.889 --> 00:37:20.030
And so I always say, hey, have a card. Make sure

00:37:20.030 --> 00:37:21.449
you always have your phone where you can always

00:37:21.449 --> 00:37:25.349
send your contact out. And have an OnlyFans account

00:37:25.349 --> 00:37:27.889
where you get naked online and direct people

00:37:27.889 --> 00:37:29.909
there. Listen, I have one of those, but it's

00:37:29.909 --> 00:37:31.590
not under Joseph John. I'm not going to tell

00:37:31.590 --> 00:37:35.150
you what it's under. You know, a lot of women

00:37:35.150 --> 00:37:38.170
sell their, do their feet movies and feet photos.

00:37:38.309 --> 00:37:41.949
Mine are my knees. Yeah. Yeah, there's some women

00:37:41.949 --> 00:37:44.190
that have this fetish about beat up, banged up

00:37:44.190 --> 00:37:47.349
old man knees. How funny. Showing off your knee

00:37:47.349 --> 00:37:49.690
-ness. I was going to say, there probably is,

00:37:49.690 --> 00:37:51.190
though. We're making fun of it, but there probably

00:37:51.190 --> 00:37:54.730
is a group. Probably some. They're like, oh,

00:37:54.789 --> 00:37:58.010
I would love to see Joe's knees right now. Joe,

00:37:58.329 --> 00:38:00.110
what's great about you is that obviously you've

00:38:00.110 --> 00:38:02.449
been financially successful, so you're not relying

00:38:02.449 --> 00:38:05.469
on this new career to like, you know, you don't

00:38:05.469 --> 00:38:07.309
care about the money, is my point. You just love

00:38:07.309 --> 00:38:10.039
doing it. That's the luxury. That's the luxury

00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.800
I have. My son's 33. I don't have to worry about,

00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:16.420
you know, raise the child, you know, have a lot

00:38:16.420 --> 00:38:19.179
of bills. I still have my mortgage company. So

00:38:19.179 --> 00:38:22.019
I'm making good living doing mortgages, paying

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:25.510
all my bills. So, and I know a lot of people

00:38:25.510 --> 00:38:27.610
doing this are younger, don't have that luxury.

00:38:27.690 --> 00:38:29.010
They're just in the opposite. You know, they're

00:38:29.010 --> 00:38:30.929
just starting a family. They maybe just bought

00:38:30.929 --> 00:38:33.389
a house. They need that job and they don't have

00:38:33.389 --> 00:38:36.809
the flexibility. And it's a shame because you

00:38:36.809 --> 00:38:38.849
need flexibility because I'll pick up, you know,

00:38:38.869 --> 00:38:42.070
like I'll get a call and somebody will say, hey,

00:38:42.090 --> 00:38:45.199
look, somebody. canceled out i need you in astoria

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.780
queens in four hours okay i think i could make

00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:50.219
it if i you know if i don't hit a lot of traffic

00:38:50.219 --> 00:38:52.079
i can get up there and i'll do the show there's

00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:55.239
no reason for me not to but a lot of people say

00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:58.760
i'm i'm at work or i have to watch the kids or

00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:00.679
i don't have the extra money for the gas and

00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:03.000
the tolls it's it's nice to have that luxury

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:05.889
and that freedom And I guess that's why if I

00:39:05.889 --> 00:39:07.710
ever did have this aspiration before, I probably

00:39:07.710 --> 00:39:09.389
would have never chased it because I didn't have

00:39:09.389 --> 00:39:10.929
the freedom. I didn't have the money. I didn't

00:39:10.929 --> 00:39:14.110
have, you know, the ability. And, and so it's,

00:39:14.110 --> 00:39:17.070
you know, timing is everything. Sure. Well, look

00:39:17.070 --> 00:39:19.409
at Rodney. You feel dude. Didn't that guy not

00:39:19.409 --> 00:39:22.789
make it till he was like in his late fifties

00:39:22.789 --> 00:39:24.969
or something. I feel like he was not a young

00:39:24.969 --> 00:39:29.130
comedian. Rodney. yeah ronnie dangerfield yeah

00:39:29.130 --> 00:39:32.269
well he started all he started in his 40s yeah

00:39:32.269 --> 00:39:34.849
and then it took him a while to develop the the

00:39:34.849 --> 00:39:38.929
character you know and and and uh you know so

00:39:38.929 --> 00:39:41.530
yeah he he got a late start not as late as me

00:39:41.530 --> 00:39:44.250
but i'll tell you there's a great comic uh i

00:39:44.250 --> 00:39:45.909
hope she doesn't mind me using her now i'll mention

00:39:45.909 --> 00:39:48.710
her first name nancy b she's in the delaware

00:39:48.710 --> 00:39:52.139
maryland area she's older than me And she started

00:39:52.139 --> 00:39:55.380
three years ago. So she started a year older

00:39:55.380 --> 00:40:00.179
than I am now. So, you know, I'm not unique in

00:40:00.179 --> 00:40:03.219
being someone that started this journey late

00:40:03.219 --> 00:40:08.480
in life. And, you know, I think the majority

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.940
are younger. Yeah. But, you know, there's a group

00:40:11.940 --> 00:40:14.119
of us that, you know, there's people that are

00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:16.059
my age that have been doing this for 30 years.

00:40:16.139 --> 00:40:18.260
But then there's people my age, around my age.

00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:20.260
who just started doing it within the last four

00:40:20.260 --> 00:40:23.199
or five years. So it's interesting to get their

00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:25.960
take, why they do it. And a lot of these people

00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:27.619
said they always wanted to do it. They always

00:40:27.619 --> 00:40:30.400
felt that they, with me, really, when I tell

00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.739
you, oh, you're chasing your dream. I never dreamt

00:40:34.739 --> 00:40:37.260
about this. I mean, I literally woke up in December

00:40:37.260 --> 00:40:39.659
and said, I'm sick of these crazy frigging women.

00:40:39.739 --> 00:40:43.059
I want to do something fun. And I said, let me

00:40:43.059 --> 00:40:45.599
try standup comedy. What better way to pick up

00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:50.280
chicks too, man? Go up there. Get the ladies

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.460
looking at you afterwards. Yeah, yeah. Merch.

00:40:54.820 --> 00:40:56.420
What's the longest you've done on stage, Joe?

00:40:56.900 --> 00:41:00.659
About 20. 20, yeah. About 20. I think I could

00:41:00.659 --> 00:41:03.840
do 30, but I won't push it. But I can do 20.

00:41:06.659 --> 00:41:09.699
you know, with a solid 20, you know, where just

00:41:09.699 --> 00:41:11.340
about everything's hitting and I'm getting laughs,

00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:14.260
you know, I think with 30, there might be a little

00:41:14.260 --> 00:41:15.920
filler where there's going to be some dead stuff

00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:17.360
that isn't going to fall too well, but it'll

00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:19.760
stretch me out to 30. So I'd rather get another

00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:24.460
10 where I could do a solid 30. Hey, for having

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:28.139
a 20 that you're happy with, with less than a

00:41:28.139 --> 00:41:29.760
year, like you started last December. I mean,

00:41:29.780 --> 00:41:32.199
that's fucking awesome, dude. Thank you. You,

00:41:32.300 --> 00:41:34.440
you mess around with crowd work and stuff. You

00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.760
go up there and. Not really. I mean, like there's

00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:39.639
a couple, you know, I don't really do crowd work

00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:41.440
per se, but like, I'll, I'll reach out to the

00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:43.840
crowd, ask them some questions and get, you know,

00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:46.599
but, but I don't, I'm not, it's not really part

00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:50.480
of my, my, my comedy is really based on my crazy

00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:53.880
life stories. Like, you know, like to the extent,

00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:55.460
it's not really even crowd work. Like I'll ask

00:41:55.460 --> 00:41:59.320
a question. Like I ask, has anybody ever gotten

00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:01.809
a tit pic on their phone? Cause I, I did get

00:42:01.809 --> 00:42:04.650
a tip on my phone and then I explained this.

00:42:04.690 --> 00:42:06.409
It was not even a woman that I was dating. It

00:42:06.409 --> 00:42:08.170
was just a friend. She was in the hospital and

00:42:08.170 --> 00:42:09.989
she asked me to bring her a sandwich. I brought

00:42:09.989 --> 00:42:11.849
her a sandwich. A couple of days later, she sends

00:42:11.849 --> 00:42:14.250
me this tit pic and I said, thank you. Why? So

00:42:14.250 --> 00:42:16.469
I just wanted to thank you for bringing me a

00:42:16.469 --> 00:42:18.329
sandwich when I was in the hospital. I said,

00:42:18.369 --> 00:42:19.849
that's good. And then I thought about it for

00:42:19.849 --> 00:42:21.989
a while and said, if I sent a dick pic to everybody

00:42:21.989 --> 00:42:24.389
that's ever brought me food, I'd probably still

00:42:24.389 --> 00:42:27.550
be in prison. So, you know, but I really did

00:42:27.550 --> 00:42:30.389
get the tip. A tip pick from a person I wasn't

00:42:30.389 --> 00:42:32.510
dating for that reason. And you have so many

00:42:32.510 --> 00:42:34.650
places. It's so like, I like where your mind

00:42:34.650 --> 00:42:36.389
went with it. If I sent the dick pic to everybody

00:42:36.389 --> 00:42:38.369
who sent me, you know, who brought me food, like,

00:42:38.429 --> 00:42:41.510
but also what would she have sent me if I brought

00:42:41.510 --> 00:42:43.769
her something other than a sandwich and I brought

00:42:43.769 --> 00:42:45.469
her like some veal or something, would I got

00:42:45.469 --> 00:42:47.530
more than a tip pick? You know, let's, let me

00:42:47.530 --> 00:42:49.630
be honest with you. After the tip pick, we got

00:42:49.630 --> 00:42:53.650
a little more intimate. It did translate, but

00:42:53.650 --> 00:42:57.469
only for a short while. She was another weird

00:42:57.469 --> 00:43:02.980
one. Yes. I could only imagine. Yeah. I bet you

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:06.780
could. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, I'm also divorced.

00:43:07.300 --> 00:43:09.940
I don't have as – I'm not as cool as Chad with

00:43:09.940 --> 00:43:13.099
two divorces. I have one. Yeah, that makes you

00:43:13.099 --> 00:43:16.280
cool. I'm one and done, Joe. I'm going to be

00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.900
single now until I'm 80 and my ball's at my knees.

00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:23.380
Then I'll start looking for a relationship. Hey,

00:43:23.659 --> 00:43:25.940
it may not take you to 80. My balls are already

00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:30.050
at my knees, and I have a joke about that. see

00:43:30.050 --> 00:43:33.510
you gotta get there early john yes well that's

00:43:33.510 --> 00:43:35.710
why i free ball that i'm trying to let them hang

00:43:35.710 --> 00:43:39.329
low you know training them yeah strap some weights

00:43:39.329 --> 00:43:42.070
to them buddy that's it but i do remember being

00:43:42.070 --> 00:43:43.929
told that as a kid like uh you shouldn't wear

00:43:43.929 --> 00:43:45.710
boxers you should wear tighty whiteys your balls

00:43:45.710 --> 00:43:49.510
are gonna sag and i never listened i went boxer

00:43:49.510 --> 00:43:53.760
so uh but they're good ladies listen man it's

00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:56.039
gravity it's not the underwear that you wear

00:43:56.039 --> 00:44:00.519
it's gravity exactly you know i'm firmly convinced

00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:03.000
when the apple fell on sir isaac newton's head

00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.420
he said so that's what's happening to my balls

00:44:05.420 --> 00:44:07.860
you know there's something pulling them down

00:44:07.860 --> 00:44:10.239
hey wait a minute something is actually pulling

00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:13.489
all my nuts the gravity The gravity didn't work

00:44:13.489 --> 00:44:16.570
on my dick. It only worked on my balls. For whatever

00:44:16.570 --> 00:44:19.889
reason, I guess the weight, it goes for the heavier...

00:44:19.889 --> 00:44:22.289
Well, with me, that's the heavier set, maybe.

00:44:22.449 --> 00:44:23.809
We've discovered anti -gravity. Better endowed

00:44:23.809 --> 00:44:26.269
men out there, it's the other way around. I don't

00:44:26.269 --> 00:44:29.010
know. We've discovered the anti -gravity trap

00:44:29.010 --> 00:44:32.610
here. Balls sag, but your penis does not, so

00:44:32.610 --> 00:44:35.230
what the fuck? My dick is on the moon and my

00:44:35.230 --> 00:44:39.550
balls are chilling on Earth with gravity. Anywho.

00:44:40.300 --> 00:44:43.099
But so do you. So I heard you say Astoria. So

00:44:43.099 --> 00:44:45.500
that's Queens, New York. But do you. So you're

00:44:45.500 --> 00:44:48.360
only doing it on New Jersey and New York. Are

00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:51.500
you going to some other states? I'm New Jersey,

00:44:51.579 --> 00:44:55.059
New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia. I

00:44:55.059 --> 00:44:59.539
did a show in Florida. I've got some. I'm going

00:44:59.539 --> 00:45:02.099
to do Connecticut next week. I'm doing Mohegan

00:45:02.099 --> 00:45:06.820
Sun Casino up in. uncutsville connecticut wherever

00:45:06.820 --> 00:45:10.199
the heck that is and uh so you know i'm i'm i'm

00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:12.360
trying to get 10 states in before the end of

00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:14.719
the year if i can if i can perform in 10 states

00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:17.179
you know my first year doing stand -up i think

00:45:17.179 --> 00:45:19.309
that's a pretty good achievement Do you have

00:45:19.309 --> 00:45:22.409
an agent or a booker? No, I just do it. I do

00:45:22.409 --> 00:45:24.809
it all myself. Like with how I hooked up with

00:45:24.809 --> 00:45:27.550
you guys. I just, I just monitor all the comedy,

00:45:27.590 --> 00:45:30.829
as many comedy sites on Facebook. And if I see,

00:45:30.849 --> 00:45:32.630
Oh, somebody's doing a show here. Okay. Who's

00:45:32.630 --> 00:45:34.409
the booker. I reach out to the booker and I send

00:45:34.409 --> 00:45:37.369
them my info and I just network. I just, I just

00:45:37.369 --> 00:45:39.570
relentlessly network. And you know, you're going

00:45:39.570 --> 00:45:42.710
to get probably 60, 70 % of them saying no, but

00:45:42.710 --> 00:45:44.750
Hey, you know what? I can live with doing gigs

00:45:44.750 --> 00:45:47.809
that 30 % of them send me. Yeah. That's frigging

00:45:47.809 --> 00:45:51.199
awesome. And you don't have to pay anybody. And

00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:56.340
good for you for like utilizing technically newer,

00:45:56.360 --> 00:46:00.199
you know, equipment and stuff and network. So

00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:02.500
what you're saying is old men are adapting to

00:46:02.500 --> 00:46:04.400
what they need to adapt to with the technological

00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.519
era. Okay. Thank you so much for that sort of

00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.360
compliment. There's an app for that. Yeah. You

00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.380
ever been on dating sites, Joe? I'm sorry. You

00:46:15.380 --> 00:46:17.480
ever been on dating sites like Tinder? Oh yeah.

00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:21.159
Yeah. Yeah. That's where I met my last girl from

00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.019
the mom dating now. And I have a story about

00:46:24.019 --> 00:46:26.320
getting kicked off of all the dating sites. Nice.

00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:29.219
Would you like to hear that one? Yeah, for sure.

00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:33.179
So, you know, I've been on all the dating sites.

00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:35.099
I've got kicked off of every single one of them

00:46:35.099 --> 00:46:38.659
and I get kicked off for telling the truth. So,

00:46:38.739 --> 00:46:40.840
you know, I'm five, five, five, six. I'm a sawed

00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:44.289
off Guido. And I can't stand these taller women

00:46:44.289 --> 00:46:45.829
that say, if you're not as tall as me, don't

00:46:45.829 --> 00:46:48.550
even message me. That really triggers me. So

00:46:48.550 --> 00:46:50.449
I send these women a message that says, hey,

00:46:50.489 --> 00:46:52.230
I'm not as tall as you, but I have a really big

00:46:52.230 --> 00:46:54.070
dick and I can give you the ride of your life.

00:46:54.349 --> 00:46:57.690
So they report me. I get kicked off. One woman,

00:46:57.789 --> 00:47:00.769
beautiful, 6 '3", she reaches out and she says.

00:47:01.389 --> 00:47:03.090
Baby, what would you do to me with that big dick?

00:47:03.170 --> 00:47:05.150
I'd tell her, I'd climb you like a tree, I'd

00:47:05.150 --> 00:47:07.050
make you see God, and I'd have you screaming

00:47:07.050 --> 00:47:09.590
for more. I said, baby, that sounds real good.

00:47:09.730 --> 00:47:11.130
Now, what are you going to let me do to you if

00:47:11.130 --> 00:47:16.349
my dick's bigger? I said, I report her to the

00:47:16.349 --> 00:47:21.690
service for false advertising, and they kicked

00:47:21.690 --> 00:47:24.389
me off for saying I had a big dick. Right, of

00:47:24.389 --> 00:47:27.550
course. So, yes, there's just about every topic.

00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:33.059
yeah balls hanging low dating sites but you know

00:47:33.059 --> 00:47:35.059
what i like about that joke joe is that there's

00:47:35.059 --> 00:47:37.480
probably we got that in there to do it they they

00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.280
would throw you off for saying something like

00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:42.519
that but they wouldn't throw her him off for

00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:44.920
false advertising what's down below and then

00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:47.760
afterwards that's okay that's the way of the

00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:50.239
world hey you know what you live with it right

00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:53.219

00:48:04.010 --> 00:48:07.070
wasn't supposed to perform tonight, but tonight

00:48:07.070 --> 00:48:09.949
I'm going to be at Tropicana in Atlantic City

00:48:09.949 --> 00:48:11.670
at Firewater Saloon. I'm going to do a short

00:48:11.670 --> 00:48:14.309
set there for Matt Bridgestone. I don't know

00:48:14.309 --> 00:48:16.510
if you know Matt. Great guy. Does a lot of booking

00:48:16.510 --> 00:48:19.969
in this area. And then Friday I'm at the Broadway

00:48:19.969 --> 00:48:23.150
Comedy Club in New York City. Saturday I'm at

00:48:23.150 --> 00:48:25.650
the Stones Dojo in Toms River where I got my

00:48:25.650 --> 00:48:29.570
very first hot box contact high. And then next

00:48:29.570 --> 00:48:32.869
Thursday, the 19th, I'm at Mohegan Sun up in

00:48:32.869 --> 00:48:37.530
Connecticut. And then, you know, I'm trying to

00:48:37.530 --> 00:48:39.889
take it light, but I've got some other stuff

00:48:39.889 --> 00:48:42.230
booked. I've got the October 4th. I'll be down

00:48:42.230 --> 00:48:46.389
in Del Mar, Delaware. So, you know, I'm trying

00:48:46.389 --> 00:48:48.250
to take September and October light because I

00:48:48.250 --> 00:48:52.690
did about 50 shows from April through August.

00:48:52.949 --> 00:48:55.880
And I just, you know, it was grueling. Yeah.

00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:58.659
I bought a new car. I put 14 ,000 miles on it

00:48:58.659 --> 00:49:01.260
like the first month. Well, hopefully you didn't

00:49:01.260 --> 00:49:02.980
lease it then because there's your whole miles

00:49:02.980 --> 00:49:04.579
done for the year. Yeah, that's what I have to

00:49:04.579 --> 00:49:07.840
buy. Yeah, the lease wouldn't work. Talk to me

00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:09.780
about the Stone Dojo in Tom's River because I've

00:49:09.780 --> 00:49:12.239
heard about it. It's a place where you can go

00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:16.190
in and partake in greenery. Absolutely. The owners,

00:49:16.329 --> 00:49:18.630
Manny and Marlene, are fabulous people. They

00:49:18.630 --> 00:49:22.590
set up a really good venue. I was there for the

00:49:22.590 --> 00:49:24.550
very first night because they put a call out

00:49:24.550 --> 00:49:26.309
to comics saying we're going to open. I think

00:49:26.309 --> 00:49:30.869
it was back in February. And there was no ventilation.

00:49:31.170 --> 00:49:33.809
And I don't smoke pot. And let me tell you something.

00:49:33.929 --> 00:49:36.050
I got lost on my way home. I didn't know what

00:49:36.050 --> 00:49:39.320
was going on. I I'm on the parkway. I didn't

00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:41.320
realize I was on the parkway. I thought the toll

00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:44.440
booths were big deer. It was, it was, it was,

00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:47.800
you know, it, I, I went, I stopped at the white

00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:50.099
castle there in Tom's river. I didn't realize

00:49:50.099 --> 00:49:51.960
I stopped there the next morning. I found all

00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:54.539
these empty white castle boxes. I'm like, what

00:49:54.539 --> 00:49:57.099
the hell did I do? You know? So it was really,

00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:01.920
it was, it was very interesting. Yeah. And is

00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:04.219
that the key to the place? Like, is it, is it.

00:50:04.409 --> 00:50:06.789
A comedy spot that they just happen to allow?

00:50:06.929 --> 00:50:09.170
They have all different events, but they do comedy.

00:50:09.210 --> 00:50:12.670
I think a couple, they do a couple comedy shows

00:50:12.670 --> 00:50:17.590
a month. Like they called me in, I think, two

00:50:17.590 --> 00:50:20.289
weeks ago because somebody canceled and they

00:50:20.289 --> 00:50:21.809
still had me on for the show for this coming

00:50:21.809 --> 00:50:26.210
Saturday. So it was always, you know, they're

00:50:26.210 --> 00:50:28.070
always doing like two, three comedy shows a month.

00:50:28.130 --> 00:50:31.000
They do other stuff. They do. um yeah they do

00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:33.840
poetry they do uh tarot readings all you know

00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:35.739
they have different things and and you just go

00:50:35.739 --> 00:50:38.619
in and you you partake and you smoke and it's

00:50:38.619 --> 00:50:40.619
you know if you're into that that's fine i just

00:50:40.619 --> 00:50:44.340
to me it makes me sleepy sure and it's not good

00:50:44.340 --> 00:50:46.300
to be sleepy when you're on stage trying to remember

00:50:46.300 --> 00:50:50.059
jokes yeah you're smoking the wrong thing at

00:50:50.059 --> 00:50:51.820
that because they are they do make strands that

00:50:51.820 --> 00:50:58.409
like up down All I can tell you is the strains

00:50:58.409 --> 00:51:01.550
that were in there were making me come down.

00:51:01.710 --> 00:51:04.690
Come down. Yeah, man. But what a great audience

00:51:04.690 --> 00:51:06.789
to have, man. Everybody's stoned and baked out

00:51:06.789 --> 00:51:08.630
of their minds. So even if you're not on the

00:51:08.630 --> 00:51:11.929
best that night, they think you're funny. You

00:51:11.929 --> 00:51:15.369
know, yeah. I mean, I think that you still have

00:51:15.369 --> 00:51:17.369
to be funny. I mean, I think people that are

00:51:17.369 --> 00:51:19.949
even stoned aren't good. Especially the last

00:51:19.949 --> 00:51:22.989
show I went out, I opened the show. I was the

00:51:22.989 --> 00:51:25.769
first. Well, they had the. the mc and then i

00:51:25.769 --> 00:51:27.829
came out and did the show and i you know i i

00:51:27.829 --> 00:51:30.829
did a good job but i'll never forget i guess

00:51:30.829 --> 00:51:35.050
a couple shows back i was third in line and the

00:51:35.050 --> 00:51:37.190
first two comics and when you sit there you can't

00:51:37.190 --> 00:51:40.409
really hear what's going on um apparently the

00:51:40.409 --> 00:51:42.269
first two comics bombed now how the hell you

00:51:42.269 --> 00:51:44.690
bomb in front of a stone crowd you really have

00:51:44.690 --> 00:51:47.989
to be bad like you said yeah and i went out there

00:51:47.989 --> 00:51:50.070
and i got him laughing for 10 minutes i came

00:51:50.070 --> 00:51:52.369
back and then the comic that went on after me

00:51:52.369 --> 00:51:54.789
came back and saw me said dude thank you so much

00:51:54.789 --> 00:51:56.829
for saving the show so what are you talking about

00:51:56.829 --> 00:51:59.230
i said you don't know the first two guys bombed

00:51:59.230 --> 00:52:00.989
they didn't get a single laugh you're you brought

00:52:00.989 --> 00:52:04.449
that audience back to life i'm glad i didn't

00:52:04.449 --> 00:52:06.070
know because i would have maybe been nervous

00:52:06.070 --> 00:52:09.409
right oh shit maybe these people are dead right

00:52:09.409 --> 00:52:13.199
maybe they were too high for uh the first two

00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.400
comedians and then their weed started to wear

00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:18.780
off and then you can't you never know you never

00:52:18.780 --> 00:52:21.500
never you never know but yeah but but it's it

00:52:21.500 --> 00:52:24.400
you're right it's difficult not to make that

00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:27.460
type of an audience i mean you know do a lot

00:52:27.460 --> 00:52:29.539
of stuff in bars where people are a little you

00:52:29.539 --> 00:52:32.519
know drunk and buzzed same thing there yeah but

00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:34.440
you still have to be funny i mean you can't just

00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:38.159
come out and say stuff that's just like oh what

00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:42.579
yeah shock value But if you have a good bit on

00:52:42.579 --> 00:52:45.219
eating or something, something munchy -oriented,

00:52:45.460 --> 00:52:48.079
they'll get into it. Well, I always go back and

00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:50.960
I open with, oh, the first place I ever got hotboxed,

00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:52.980
and I tell them the story. And I embellish a

00:52:52.980 --> 00:52:54.659
little bit and say, you know, I got lost on the

00:52:54.659 --> 00:52:56.780
way home. Finally, I pulled over and I put my

00:52:56.780 --> 00:52:59.139
address on the GPS. The minute I hit start, it

00:52:59.139 --> 00:53:01.199
said, you've arrived at your destination. I was

00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:03.019
sitting in my own fucking driveway and didn't

00:53:03.019 --> 00:53:07.659
know it. Yo, that's awesome. That reminds me

00:53:07.659 --> 00:53:09.619
of the Cheech and Chong thing. He's like, how

00:53:09.619 --> 00:53:12.920
am I driving? That's what I say. The first time

00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:14.000
I was in here, I thought I was walking into a

00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:15.960
Cheech and Chong movie. It was like, what the

00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:20.000
fuck is going on? This is crazy. But Manny and

00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:23.099
Marlene are great people. They can't do enough

00:53:23.099 --> 00:53:26.800
for the comics. And they always make you feel

00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:29.800
welcome. It's a good venue. It's a nice venue.

00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:33.380
You should come down and reach out to them. If

00:53:33.380 --> 00:53:35.260
you want, afterwards, I can send you their contact

00:53:35.260 --> 00:53:37.610
info. For sure, yeah. I've been looking because

00:53:37.610 --> 00:53:39.610
I've heard about that place, so I've kind of

00:53:39.610 --> 00:53:41.590
been looking into it. I just never made my way

00:53:41.590 --> 00:53:43.690
there, but I definitely want to go experience

00:53:43.690 --> 00:53:46.389
it for myself and then maybe one day hop on there

00:53:46.389 --> 00:53:48.670
and do a couple minutes. Yeah, yeah. I like the

00:53:48.670 --> 00:53:52.090
concept, man, for sure. Stone Dojo and Tom's

00:53:52.090 --> 00:53:54.469

00:54:31.539 --> 00:54:34.820
in this bomb i don't know signs were melting

00:54:34.820 --> 00:54:39.929
it was it was it was i couldn't feel my i should

00:54:39.929 --> 00:54:41.590
not have been behind the wheel of my car how

00:54:41.590 --> 00:54:43.550
i made it home and how i made it home without

00:54:43.550 --> 00:54:46.909
being pulled over is beyond me that was my that's

00:54:46.909 --> 00:54:48.670
that's how i know i think i have a guardian angel

00:54:48.670 --> 00:54:51.570
yeah they are making weed a little too strong

00:54:51.570 --> 00:54:55.210
nowadays when you got shit that's like 40 thc

00:54:55.210 --> 00:54:58.329
it's like the sweet spot's like one wow whatever

00:54:58.329 --> 00:55:03.280
it was it it it messed me up yeah So Chad says

00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:05.480
to the kids, don't smoke and drive. I say do

00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:07.539
smoke and drive. Anytime I got behind the wheel

00:55:07.539 --> 00:55:09.760
when I was stoned, I drove so much better as

00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:13.840
a kid. Now I'm, but as a kid, I had road rage,

00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.199
man. And if you would cut me off, like I would

00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:18.780
want to speed up and give you the finger. But

00:55:18.780 --> 00:55:20.320
if I was stoned, there was none of that going

00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.900
on. I'm like, ah, whatever, dude. See that a

00:55:23.900 --> 00:55:28.670
case for driving stoned. Exactly. Exactly. Chad,

00:55:28.730 --> 00:55:30.289
come on. You've got to give the kids good advice

00:55:30.289 --> 00:55:32.210
out there. Smoke and drive. Don't drink and drive.

00:55:33.050 --> 00:55:35.190
But, Joe, the way we do this all the time is

00:55:35.190 --> 00:55:37.389
we leave the audience always wanting more from

00:55:37.389 --> 00:55:40.070
the guests, so we kind of cut it a little short.

00:55:40.170 --> 00:55:41.670
But why don't you tell everybody where they can

00:55:41.670 --> 00:55:43.710
go to your website? I know you gave some dates.

00:55:43.809 --> 00:55:48.269
Okay. Well, it's... Well, the link tree, link

00:55:48.269 --> 00:55:51.610
tree, Joe underscore Scrocca, S -C -R -O -C -C

00:55:51.610 --> 00:55:53.710
-A underscore comedy. So it's Joe underscore

00:55:53.710 --> 00:55:57.190
Scrocca underscore comedy. And then I don't really

00:55:57.190 --> 00:55:59.230
have much on TikTok or YouTube. It's mainly.

00:56:00.539 --> 00:56:02.860
Instagram. I've got a lot of great clips on Instagram

00:56:02.860 --> 00:56:06.960
and I've got stuff on, on, on Facebook. Instagram

00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:11.039
has my schedule, my show schedule. And yeah,

00:56:11.239 --> 00:56:13.159
that, that, that's, that's pretty much it. I

00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:16.139
mean, I don't, I, you know, because I'm an old

00:56:16.139 --> 00:56:17.739
man, I do have a girl that helps me with that.

00:56:17.780 --> 00:56:20.320
She helped, you know, maintain that stuff. So.

00:56:21.210 --> 00:56:23.409
Do you, uh, so do you post clips of you doing

00:56:23.409 --> 00:56:25.489
comedy or since you go? Yeah. On the Instagram,

00:56:25.650 --> 00:56:27.369
there's definitely, there's some good clips,

00:56:27.429 --> 00:56:29.230
you know, warning. I don't put any warnings up

00:56:29.230 --> 00:56:31.429
there, but it's adult content. You know, I, I

00:56:31.429 --> 00:56:33.170
mean, it's not horrible stuff, but you know,

00:56:33.190 --> 00:56:35.789
uh, you know, I, I do a bit about the first time

00:56:35.789 --> 00:56:37.690
I had sex with a prostitute and there's a little

00:56:37.690 --> 00:56:39.769
raunchy stuff in there. I'm not going to do that

00:56:39.769 --> 00:56:42.369
on your, you'll have, you'll have to go to Instagram

00:56:42.369 --> 00:56:46.869
and watch it, but, but, um, you know, I mean,

It was great to be on. Hopefully, we'll work

00:57:39.909 --> 00:57:42.710
together soon. Absolutely. And keep going after

00:57:42.710 --> 00:57:44.690

00:57:44.690 --> 00:57:47.530
important thing. I am. I am. I'm having a blast.

look forward to it. Peace. All right. Take care.

00:57:56.630 --> 00:58:00.090
Take care. Bye. Ladies and gentlemen, yes, the

00:58:00.090 --> 00:58:03.050
one and only, the man, the myth, the legend.

00:58:03.449 --> 00:58:05.409
That's frigging awesome. I love that story. I

00:58:05.409 --> 00:58:07.090
love his story. That's frigging awesome. Like,

00:58:07.090 --> 00:58:10.800
no. No inkling of wanting to be a comic, and

00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:12.260
all of a sudden one day he wakes up and goes,

00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.900
I'm doing comedy. It's fucking awesome. And then

00:58:15.900 --> 00:58:19.059
he said, I never took any lessons. In some cases,

00:58:19.139 --> 00:58:22.800
my whole theory is that you shouldn't take lessons

00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:26.000
for certain shit. If you have some kind of natural

00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:29.840
affinity or talent for it, just... Figure it

00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:31.619
out yourself because you'll develop your own

00:58:31.619 --> 00:58:34.019
style. I mean, I did that with drumming. Like,

00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:35.800
you know, I didn't take any lessons. I never

00:58:35.800 --> 00:58:38.119
had anybody tell me how to play shit. I figured

00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:40.420
it all out. And it's great that he's doing that

00:58:40.420 --> 00:58:44.059
too. It's just naturally funny and puts together

00:58:44.059 --> 00:58:46.159
some jokes and fucking talks about his life.

00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:49.380
It's perfect. And it shows you how crazy women

00:58:49.380 --> 00:58:51.519
are that they'll drive you to do comedy at two

00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:55.599
years old, man. You know what I'm saying? She

00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:57.860
was like, I think I'll do stand -up comedy now

00:58:57.860 --> 00:58:59.920
and fucking put dating on hold for a second.

00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:02.599
Dude, that one girlfriend getting up and pissing

00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:04.920
on him. I'm like, what the fucking hell is that?

00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:08.559
That's what I was like, what? It's out of the

00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:12.780
blue? Dude, I would fucking lose my mind. I'd

00:59:12.780 --> 00:59:14.420
be more pissed about my couch getting pissed

00:59:14.420 --> 00:59:16.800
on it than getting pee on me, but I'd be like,

00:59:16.860 --> 00:59:19.510
what the fuck? fuck are you doing right you crazy

00:59:19.510 --> 00:59:22.210
crazy lady and then he goes for a heroin addict

00:59:22.210 --> 00:59:26.329
right afterwards you know the pot wasn't enough

00:59:26.329 --> 00:59:30.250
like yeah i mean i don't i don't know why it

00:59:30.250 --> 00:59:32.449
keeps getting relationships just be single at

00:59:32.449 --> 00:59:35.409
this point that's what i was gonna say like well

00:59:35.409 --> 00:59:37.530
that's what i was asking about the um if he was

00:59:37.530 --> 00:59:39.869
on like dating websites and stuff like were they

00:59:39.869 --> 00:59:41.750
listing this in their bio and he just flocked

00:59:41.750 --> 00:59:43.829
to them or is this stuff he found out after he

00:59:43.829 --> 00:59:49.559
started a good question No question. Go ahead,

00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:51.019
Jed. I'm sorry. Well, I was just going to say,

00:59:51.139 --> 00:59:52.980
you know, no offense to the ladies out there,

00:59:53.039 --> 00:59:54.880
but, you know, most of you are a little crazy.

00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:56.760
But it's okay. We're all a little crazy, too,

00:59:56.840 --> 00:59:58.619
on this side, on the boys' side. Definitely.

00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:02.639
But I'm going to ask if I could piss on you.

01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:05.320
I'm just going to pull it out. I'm going to say,

01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:07.659
ma 'am. That is something you need permission

01:00:07.659 --> 01:00:11.400
for. Right. You should at least ask. Yeah. Or

01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:13.400
if you're in the shower and you're doing it as

01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:16.380
a joke, like that's always a funny thing. I remember

01:00:16.380 --> 01:00:18.400
some of those days. Are you pissing on your own

01:00:18.400 --> 01:00:21.139
leg in the shower? Yeah. My third leg is pissing

01:00:21.139 --> 01:00:26.380
on itself. Yes, sir. See, nobody knows you. I

01:00:26.380 --> 01:00:28.519
talk about my dick being small and my dick being

01:00:28.519 --> 01:00:30.360
big. So, ladies, you have to figure out what

01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:33.400
it is for yourself. It's a mystery. Keeping everyone

01:00:33.400 --> 01:00:36.719
guessing. Exactly. Dude, I used to tell this.

01:00:36.739 --> 01:00:38.300
Oh, this is funny, man. When I was single back

01:00:38.300 --> 01:00:41.110
in the day before. i got married i used to just

01:00:41.110 --> 01:00:43.269
be funny i would tell this oh my god my dick

01:00:43.269 --> 01:00:46.650
is so big that when i get hard all the blood

01:00:46.650 --> 01:00:48.829
rushes from my big head to my other head and

01:00:48.829 --> 01:00:52.369
i almost pass out this one chick i had going

01:00:52.369 --> 01:00:54.230
like she really wanted to see it and everything

01:00:54.230 --> 01:00:56.829
i'm like you are fucking crazy that you believe

01:00:56.829 --> 01:01:00.769

01:01:00.769 --> 01:01:03.250
blood out of your head yes it makes me almost

01:01:03.250 --> 01:01:06.550
pass out like that's how i know you were easy

01:01:06.550 --> 01:01:09.050

01:01:09.050 --> 01:01:11.449
going in there. Yeah, man. But she was like,

01:01:11.510 --> 01:01:13.849

01:01:13.849 --> 01:01:16.889
can. You're like, yeah, I can't take Viagra.

01:01:16.969 --> 01:01:18.829
It fucking makes me pass out because all the

01:01:18.829 --> 01:01:24.329
blood rushes into my cock. Right. Oh, that's

01:01:24.329 --> 01:01:27.269
funny. I forgot I used to do that. And then,

01:01:27.289 --> 01:01:30.449
yeah. Bobby, why don't you come on and tell me

01:01:30.449 --> 01:01:35.949
what's going on in Bobby's world? I'll tell you.

01:01:36.730 --> 01:01:39.690
Joe, he reminds me of my uncle. He reminds me

01:01:39.690 --> 01:01:42.929
of my uncle, Joe, man. He just passed away, actually,

01:01:43.110 --> 01:01:45.789
like a year ago. Oh, sorry to hear. Yeah, he

01:01:45.789 --> 01:01:48.050
reminds me just like him. He had so much energy.

01:01:48.829 --> 01:01:53.010
He was like the glue of the family. Geez. Yeah.

01:01:53.590 --> 01:01:59.210
Uncle Vinnie Bag of Donuts was his name? Joe

01:01:59.210 --> 01:02:02.309
got that Italian energy. And he said South Jersey,

01:02:02.409 --> 01:02:04.250
but he reminds me of like a North Jersey Italian.

01:02:05.659 --> 01:02:09.019
Yeah, exactly. South Jersey Italian. More like

01:02:09.019 --> 01:02:12.639
rednecks. They have the Confederate flag. Really?

01:02:13.099 --> 01:02:15.739
That's how South Jersey is? Dude, it's crazy.

01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:18.719
So from North Jersey to South Jersey, yeah, man.

01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:21.679
It's like pickup trucks with Confederate flags

01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:24.480
and stuff like that. Interesting. I didn't know

01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:27.539
that. Oh, yeah. When you start getting into wooded

01:02:27.539 --> 01:02:30.780
territory. They're in the South. Just the South

01:02:30.780 --> 01:02:33.300
of Jersey, not the South. Exactly. Well, that's

01:02:33.300 --> 01:02:36.250
right. Just South of Jersey. Yo, look at this,

01:02:36.269 --> 01:02:39.429
Chad. They're saying Elon Musk is the efficiency,

01:02:39.829 --> 01:02:42.570
like head of the efficiency department for the

01:02:42.570 --> 01:02:44.809
government. Well, that's what he wants to do.

01:02:44.869 --> 01:02:47.250
Yeah, he talked to Trump on that interview they

01:02:47.250 --> 01:02:51.070
did with Trump and Elon about doing that. I think

01:02:51.070 --> 01:02:54.289
that's fucking brilliant, dude. Me too. Here's

01:02:54.289 --> 01:02:57.550
a couple of minutes if you want to. Before you

01:02:57.550 --> 01:02:59.849
click that, of course, I don't mind. So what's

01:02:59.849 --> 01:03:02.670
the, is he the inventor of the Doge coin? Because

01:03:02.670 --> 01:03:05.389
there's a lot of internet rumor that he is, and

01:03:05.389 --> 01:03:09.230
he's always plays into it that he could be. No,

01:03:09.230 --> 01:03:15.969
no, no, no, he's not. No, not as far as I, I

01:03:15.969 --> 01:03:19.150
mean, I've never heard anything about him. Seriously.

01:03:19.710 --> 01:03:22.510
Look into that. They, they really say that he

01:03:22.510 --> 01:03:26.829
is. So look into that. I mean, I will. I mean,

01:03:27.469 --> 01:03:33.429
He was able to pump it up to like 80 cents before

01:03:33.429 --> 01:03:37.590
his Saturday Night Live episode. And then I guess

01:03:37.590 --> 01:03:40.789
he short sold it. And after that episode, it

01:03:40.789 --> 01:03:44.050
crashed down to like 10 cents. And he made it

01:03:44.050 --> 01:03:46.750
killing, right? Yeah, he probably made a shitload

01:03:46.750 --> 01:03:51.300
off of the short sales. Go Elon. Go Elon. But

01:03:51.300 --> 01:03:55.019
this pretty much gives you the overview of what

01:03:55.019 --> 01:03:59.699
he wants to do. And here, let me play. These

01:03:59.699 --> 01:04:03.719
are my, I like them. They're good. They have

01:04:03.719 --> 01:04:08.239
a good show. It's Dave's Camp with Simone. And

01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:11.199
I forgot his name, but they have a good show.

01:04:11.420 --> 01:04:14.420
She's hot, dude. Yeah, she is. Knowledge and

01:04:14.420 --> 01:04:16.619
agreement to serve as the government efficiency

01:04:16.619 --> 01:04:25.559
commissioner. Bobby, I think you did it again

01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:27.019
where it's coming through your microphone and

01:04:27.019 --> 01:04:33.840
not the speakers. It keeps going in and out.

01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:35.679
Now I can barely hear it. I don't understand.

01:04:36.659 --> 01:04:39.280
I think you have it playing over your speakers.

01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:42.360
Hold on. Hold on. Let me try this. Let me try

01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:45.199
this. Republican President Ronald Reagan established

01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:48.139
a similar body while he was in office from 1981

01:04:48.139 --> 01:04:51.219
to 1989 called the Grace Commission. Trump's

01:04:51.219 --> 01:04:53.699
proposal sparked criticism for Everett Kelly,

01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:56.179
president of the American Federation of Government

01:04:56.179 --> 01:05:00.400
Employees, a union that represents 750 ,000 federal

01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:03.769
workers. Oh, I bet it did. I bet they don't want

01:05:03.769 --> 01:05:05.909
people going through those books and finding

01:05:05.909 --> 01:05:08.610
where people aren't needed anymore. So for more

01:05:08.610 --> 01:05:10.750
context here, the idea for this commission originated

01:05:10.750 --> 01:05:12.489
in a conversation between Trump and Elon Musk

01:05:12.489 --> 01:05:15.809
in August 2024. Musk endorsed Trump for president

01:05:15.809 --> 01:05:18.989
in July 2024. The proposal is part of Trump's

01:05:18.989 --> 01:05:21.010
broader economic plan for a potential second

01:05:21.010 --> 01:05:23.469
term, which includes tax cuts and deregulation.

01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:29.500
see who this is huge and it's been very interesting

01:05:29.500 --> 01:05:32.179
for me to watch i watched an msnbc coverage of

01:05:32.179 --> 01:05:33.900
this and they were just freaking out they were

01:05:33.900 --> 01:05:36.880
like twitter has gotten so bad since mush took

01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:39.460
it over it's become a disinformation platform

01:05:39.460 --> 01:05:42.159
foreign interference in american elections something

01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.199
we've all been on the lookout for since 2016

01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:47.099
these fucking people But there's also a really

01:05:47.099 --> 01:05:50.360
disturbing information environment in America

01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:52.260
right now. Domestically, in this campaign year,

01:05:52.300 --> 01:05:54.480
there's nothing to do with illegal foreign interference.

01:05:55.199 --> 01:05:57.480
Elon Musk runs one of the most influential internet

01:05:57.480 --> 01:05:59.139
platforms, or at least it used to be, formerly

01:05:59.139 --> 01:06:01.619
known as Twitter. And he has essentially turned

01:06:01.619 --> 01:06:04.800
that platform into a pro -Trump, pro -authoritarian

01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:08.480
disinformation machine. Where he just posts vile

01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:11.059
bigotry and disinformation that millions of people

01:06:11.059 --> 01:06:14.380
see and share. It also seems like in two ways,

01:06:14.480 --> 01:06:18.559
the entire platform seems more and more. So we

01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:20.260
could talk about it there. I mean, it's just

01:06:20.260 --> 01:06:23.300
crazy, Chad. These people are just insane, man.

01:06:23.340 --> 01:06:26.059
That's fucking wild what they do. It's like it's

01:06:26.059 --> 01:06:28.780
free speech. It's just free speech. So you're

01:06:28.780 --> 01:06:31.340
going to see shit on there you don't like. That's

01:06:31.340 --> 01:06:35.159
not how free speech works. Right. Fucking idiot.

01:06:35.789 --> 01:06:38.289
it's not just giving you one if you're offended

01:06:38.289 --> 01:06:43.010
don't look at it exactly and why wouldn't you

01:06:43.010 --> 01:06:45.530
want every side out there and have the people

01:06:45.530 --> 01:06:49.650
make up their mind on what is we do know why

01:06:49.650 --> 01:06:51.809
because you can't control people that way and

01:06:51.809 --> 01:06:54.730
exactly see a different narrative but it's just

01:06:54.730 --> 01:06:57.710
crazy that they're saying this like what happens

01:06:57.710 --> 01:07:01.820
when this is not You know, there are people that

01:07:01.820 --> 01:07:04.480
are running shit, and their free speech is stifled,

01:07:04.500 --> 01:07:06.440
and they can't say the things that they want

01:07:06.440 --> 01:07:09.099
to say and the ideas that they believe in. That's

01:07:09.099 --> 01:07:12.559
going to be okay then or no? It's coming. And

01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:14.860
here's the thing. That's what happens with Elon.

01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:18.199
He lets everybody on the platform. He's not censoring

01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:21.420
the leftists, is he? No. Exactly. But they want

01:07:21.420 --> 01:07:25.039
to censor the right all the time. And the fact

01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:28.119
that people are okay with Brazil, the country,

01:07:28.239 --> 01:07:32.559
banning Twitter is crazy. It's insane. I mean,

01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:35.059
they're all indoctrinated sheeple. It's like,

01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:38.340
oh, it's a right -wing platform. No, it's just

01:07:38.340 --> 01:07:41.739
called free speech. Right. People get to say

01:07:41.739 --> 01:07:43.920
what they want. If you don't like it, tough shit.

01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:47.320
If it's offensive to you, tough shit. Don't look

01:07:47.320 --> 01:07:50.119
at it. If it's offensive to you, comment back

01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:53.280
on it and tell us why it is and what your opinions

01:07:53.280 --> 01:07:57.179
are on it. And that's how shit works. Not just

01:07:57.179 --> 01:08:02.460
you don't hear it. You guys see my screen still,

01:08:02.579 --> 01:08:07.139
right? Yes. All right. This is Donald Trump in

01:08:07.139 --> 01:08:11.619
1987 on Letterman. This was a pretty good interview.

01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:14.590
Check it out. ...run a municipal administration.

01:08:14.969 --> 01:08:16.750
It can be done. You think it could be done? Absolutely.

01:08:16.949 --> 01:08:18.529
By the right person, it could be done. Yeah.

01:08:19.189 --> 01:08:21.250
Any thoughts? I mean, would you want to be mayor

01:08:21.250 --> 01:08:22.510
of this city? No, I wouldn't want to be mayor.

01:08:25.069 --> 01:08:27.069
It would run very well if I was mayor, but I

01:08:27.069 --> 01:08:29.180
would not want to be. the mayor of new york uh

01:08:29.180 --> 01:08:31.880
and and what about the uh are people trying to

01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:34.060
draft you to run for president up in new hampshire

01:08:34.060 --> 01:08:35.819
well i guess a lot of people want to see this

01:08:35.819 --> 01:08:38.340
country uh it's it's a shame what's happening

01:08:38.340 --> 01:08:40.979
japan saudi arabia kuwait they're all everybody's

01:08:40.979 --> 01:08:42.640
taking advantage of the united states people

01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:44.779
know that if certain people are running the country

01:08:44.779 --> 01:08:46.600
that it won't happen i mean when you look at

01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:49.140
japan not paying for the defense we're defending

01:08:49.140 --> 01:08:52.020
japan we're losing billions and billions of dollars

01:08:52.020 --> 01:08:54.159
we're fighting for aids help and for farmers

01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:56.859
and for this and that And it's a shame. And the

01:08:56.859 --> 01:08:59.760
Japanese folks, who I respect greatly, but they're

01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:02.579
not treating us fairly. They're really not treating

01:09:02.579 --> 01:09:05.420
us fairly. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, they're not

01:09:05.420 --> 01:09:07.399
paying us anything for the services we're rendering.

01:09:07.539 --> 01:09:09.079
And I think it's a disgrace. And I think people

01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:12.720
look at certain people, and maybe me, if I were

01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.000
in a position, this country, believe me, would

01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:17.640
not be ripped off like it is. And it is just

01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:20.119
being ripped off so badly by our so -called allies.

01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:24.340
He's absolutely right. It was just a different

01:09:24.340 --> 01:09:26.699
set of players then, but it's the same now. It's

01:09:26.699 --> 01:09:31.300
Chinese. Yeah. EU. It's the same. Yeah, it's

01:09:31.300 --> 01:09:33.100
the same. NATO, all that bullshit. It's just,

01:09:33.159 --> 01:09:36.319
you know, they don't pay their fair share and

01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:37.920
they expect the United States to pay for everything.

01:09:38.159 --> 01:09:42.359
Right. And then, you know, China, the trade deficits,

01:09:42.539 --> 01:09:46.359
ridiculous with China. Yeah. He was saying, Trump

01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:48.600
was saying that if they stop taking the dollar,

01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:51.779
that he's going to put tariffs of 100 % on anything.

01:09:52.340 --> 01:09:55.010
Oh, hell yeah. Right. That'll make you take the

01:09:55.010 --> 01:09:58.489
dollar. Yeah, exactly. Because what do they want

01:09:58.489 --> 01:10:01.789
to trade in? Oh, they want to do that BRICS bullshit

01:10:01.789 --> 01:10:04.850
they've been working on. Well, I just saw Iran

01:10:04.850 --> 01:10:08.350
gave Russia a bunch of ballistic missiles. Like,

01:10:08.350 --> 01:10:12.630
what? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, Kash Patel talked

01:10:12.630 --> 01:10:17.630
about it yesterday on Sean Ryan. The Biden administration

01:10:17.630 --> 01:10:21.329
came in and gave. unfroze seven or six six or

01:10:21.329 --> 01:10:24.170
seven billion dollars immediately that was locked

01:10:24.170 --> 01:10:27.289
up that no one was supposed to get to the iranians

01:10:27.289 --> 01:10:31.029
just immediately right and you got to use it

01:10:31.029 --> 01:10:33.409
for her man humanitarian and don't use it to

01:10:33.409 --> 01:10:38.770
attack israel yeah we trust you yeah and look

01:10:38.770 --> 01:10:41.710
what happened october exactly and and the fact

01:10:41.710 --> 01:10:44.470
that design Thought that they could see that

01:10:44.470 --> 01:10:47.350
money and it wouldn't free up other money that,

01:10:47.390 --> 01:10:48.949
you know, they were going to use. The fact that

01:10:48.949 --> 01:10:51.090
they're either that naive to think that they,

01:10:51.149 --> 01:10:53.670
that Iran's going to, that they can trust Iran

01:10:53.670 --> 01:10:58.369
or they're too stupid to know which one is it,

01:10:58.390 --> 01:11:00.670
or they knew what was going to happen and did

01:11:00.670 --> 01:11:04.689
it anyway. Right. In those three scenarios, it's

01:11:04.689 --> 01:11:06.689
bad. There's none of them that are good. Right.

01:11:07.069 --> 01:11:10.170
They're all bad. One's inherently more evil than

01:11:10.170 --> 01:11:12.510
the other, but they're all very bad scenarios.

01:11:13.189 --> 01:11:15.430
And there's really only those. And then you wonder

01:11:15.430 --> 01:11:17.630
why the world's burning. I don't know. I can't

01:11:17.630 --> 01:11:20.449
figure it out. It's so weird. Hmm. What do we

01:11:20.449 --> 01:11:24.430
got here, Boobay? All right. This is Casper.

01:11:24.510 --> 01:11:27.630
Casper in the past. Is that like the friendly

01:11:27.630 --> 01:11:32.470
ghost, Casper? No, Casper is probably the best

01:11:32.470 --> 01:11:35.250
investment of the 20th century, to be honest.

01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:40.000
As a penny stock. This is going to be, this is

01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:44.619
a crypto. This is a crypto. This is the crypto

01:11:44.619 --> 01:11:47.279
that solves all the problems that Bitcoin has.

01:11:47.619 --> 01:11:51.420
The problems with scaling, the problems with

01:11:51.420 --> 01:11:55.640
transfer time, the problems with fees. You could

01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:59.039
send a million dollars in three seconds to anywhere

01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:03.979
in the world for not even a penny using Casper.

01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:07.960
Wow. Well. And is this because Bitcoin, when

01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:09.699
it first came out, they were, you know, basically

01:12:09.699 --> 01:12:11.880
saying it was like untraceable and shit. And

01:12:11.880 --> 01:12:13.560
now we know that that's certainly not the case.

01:12:13.579 --> 01:12:16.060
Like they could actually trace it back to your

01:12:16.060 --> 01:12:18.920
wallet and stuff like that. Yeah, they can trace

01:12:18.920 --> 01:12:24.460
any crypto except for XMR, I believe. Yeah. Yeah.

01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:26.800
Well, they can trace it to a wallet address,

01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:29.819
but they don't know exactly what that is. Exactly.

01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:33.909
Yeah. Yeah. But you could have wallets set up

01:12:33.909 --> 01:12:37.310
to where it's not in a name. I think every Bitcoin

01:12:37.310 --> 01:12:40.569
wallet is set to a wallet that has your name

01:12:40.569 --> 01:12:43.729
and financial institution. No, you don't have

01:12:43.729 --> 01:12:47.770
to have a wallet with your information. No? No.

01:12:48.789 --> 01:12:53.649
What is it? It's decentralized. You use a decentralized

01:12:53.649 --> 01:12:58.750
exchange. But I'm saying, so that wallet that

01:12:58.750 --> 01:13:02.090
you... However that gets to a financial institute

01:13:02.090 --> 01:13:05.789
to where you can. Oh, you're saying the end,

01:13:05.949 --> 01:13:10.250
you're saying your bank wallet. Yeah, that wallet.

01:13:10.529 --> 01:13:13.210
Like if you have a Coinbase account, if you want

01:13:13.210 --> 01:13:16.170
to withdraw funds to the bank, yes, that can

01:13:16.170 --> 01:13:18.550
be. Yeah, so they're always going to figure out

01:13:18.550 --> 01:13:21.770
a way to. But it wasn't first advertised like

01:13:21.770 --> 01:13:24.810
that. It was first, you know, where it was like.

01:13:25.779 --> 01:13:27.800
undecipherable they can't they and it took them

01:13:27.800 --> 01:13:31.359
a while to figure it out but they uh with a lot

01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:36.000
of black market or dark web websites yeah i was

01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:38.020
this thing dude they did some clever things so

01:13:38.020 --> 01:13:42.380
it was like alpha bay so remember um uh mirror

01:13:42.380 --> 01:13:44.859
road or silk road was like one of the first big

01:13:44.859 --> 01:13:47.939
dark web things then they had this alpha bay

01:13:47.939 --> 01:13:51.720
one afterwards and the feds got into the alpha

01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:55.010
bay And before they shut that down and did an

01:13:55.010 --> 01:13:57.970
exit scam on there, they opened up, like, another

01:13:57.970 --> 01:14:01.529
dark web thing that was completely controlled

01:14:01.529 --> 01:14:05.689
by the feds. Oh, God. Yeah, so they had a backdoor

01:14:05.689 --> 01:14:07.710
in right from the get and went after the people

01:14:07.710 --> 01:14:10.529
again on that. So they got real slick with their

01:14:10.529 --> 01:14:12.930
way of doing things. Like, before they had to

01:14:12.930 --> 01:14:15.789
infiltrate and then, like, get accounts and then

01:14:15.789 --> 01:14:18.300
trace shit down and then this. Third one that

01:14:18.300 --> 01:14:20.659
they got in, they were like the ones who started

01:14:20.659 --> 01:14:23.340
it and just knew the dealers and buyers and stuff

01:14:23.340 --> 01:14:24.859
like that. Okay, Bobby, what do we got here?

01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:27.840
What are you showing us about Casper? Well, Casper,

01:14:27.979 --> 01:14:31.960
it dipped all the way down to like, what, 14?

01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:39.520
I bought it at 1410. I bought like $10 ,000 at

01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:45.569
1410. Nice. It's up to 1658. It's going to keep

01:14:45.569 --> 01:14:49.489
going up. This is going to be next year around

01:14:49.489 --> 01:14:52.670
this time. This will be $10 at least. I guarantee.

01:14:52.869 --> 01:14:57.130
Really? From $0 .60 to $10 per? Yeah. I can almost

01:14:57.130 --> 01:14:59.329
guarantee that. And why are you saying that?

01:14:59.850 --> 01:15:02.510
Because of the technology. The technology is

01:15:02.510 --> 01:15:05.149
the top of the line. It's the best technology.

01:15:05.149 --> 01:15:08.350
It will be a top three coin. Really? It may flip

01:15:08.350 --> 01:15:12.880
Ethereum within the next year. If not the next

01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:15.460
year, within the next three years, it will flip

01:15:15.460 --> 01:15:18.060
Ethereum. I have no doubt about that. And if

01:15:18.060 --> 01:15:20.079
not within the next three years, within the next

01:15:20.079 --> 01:15:24.600
six. And then if not, Ben? No, it will definitely

01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:26.979
flip Ethereum because Ethereum fees are just

01:15:26.979 --> 01:15:31.579
crazy. Right, right. To buy them? Yeah. I mean,

01:15:31.579 --> 01:15:35.600
there are no fees on Casper, pretty much. And

01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:38.520
they're just coming out with KRC20, where you

01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:42.279
can make meme coins on Casper, too. It's just

01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:44.939
like Ethereum, except there's no fees. Let's

01:15:44.939 --> 01:15:50.199
make a Gracious 2 coin. Worth a penny. Oh, my

01:15:50.199 --> 01:15:53.760
God. We should do it. We should do it. But let's

01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:57.260
put cool stuff behind it to where you could only

01:15:57.260 --> 01:16:00.439
buy Gracious 2 stuff. I don't know, but something

01:16:00.439 --> 01:16:04.699
cool. You could have a cool coin that does cool

01:16:04.699 --> 01:16:09.520
stuff, you know, and is not just dumb. That has

01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:12.920
like... I gotta think about this. Rewards, you

01:16:12.920 --> 01:16:16.439
know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I hear you. I hear

01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:18.619
you. Absolutely. All right, but let's keep it

01:16:18.619 --> 01:16:20.859
going because, boys, dude, this is crazy, Chad.

01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:23.800
My bladder is horrible and I literally pissed

01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:27.159
right before again, dude. Damn, buddy. I wanted

01:16:27.159 --> 01:16:30.300
to show you this. I'm bringing a bottle down

01:16:30.300 --> 01:16:33.319
with me. Go ahead, please. All right, so Kennedy

01:16:33.319 --> 01:16:36.409
first said that Trump's team has... approached

01:16:36.409 --> 01:16:39.449
him about joining his ticket as vice president

01:16:39.449 --> 01:16:43.109
in january people from the team have reached

01:16:43.109 --> 01:16:46.010
out to me kennedy said in an interview with news

01:16:46.010 --> 01:16:50.970
nation i mean this dude vance uh right vance

01:16:50.970 --> 01:16:54.329
or vance what jd yeah jd vance yeah jd vance

01:16:54.329 --> 01:16:57.649
yeah i i really i don't really know about him

01:16:57.649 --> 01:17:00.489
i i think i'd rather see kennedy uh up there

01:17:00.489 --> 01:17:04.489
to be honest with you 100 but i mean I just,

01:17:04.609 --> 01:17:06.970
I mean, again, they could change at this point,

01:17:07.050 --> 01:17:09.590
but he's usually pretty smart with what he does.

01:17:09.689 --> 01:17:11.270
I don't know if he knew that Kennedy was going

01:17:11.270 --> 01:17:13.609
to fully endorse him and, you know, maybe that's

01:17:13.609 --> 01:17:15.670
why he would do a Swiss, but I don't, I think

01:17:15.670 --> 01:17:17.930
doing a switch this late in the game makes him

01:17:17.930 --> 01:17:20.250
look like he's a flip flopper and he doesn't

01:17:20.250 --> 01:17:24.350
need that. That is true. Yeah. uh but yeah that

01:17:24.350 --> 01:17:26.590
would have been awesome if if they really did

01:17:26.590 --> 01:17:28.529
if trump's team really did reach out to kennedy

01:17:28.529 --> 01:17:31.329
in january and he said no to that but endorsed

01:17:31.329 --> 01:17:33.170
him now that was stupid on his part because that

01:17:33.170 --> 01:17:35.069
would have been a ticket that you could not oh

01:17:35.069 --> 01:17:38.689
my god i was saying that too when when i was

01:17:38.689 --> 01:17:40.750
like wow that'd be great if he made kennedy his

01:17:40.750 --> 01:17:47.130
freaking vp oh my god dude um but yeah so i'm

01:17:47.130 --> 01:17:50.520
