hearing that tool song better swim better swim better swim welcome to the show it is fucking nuts in the world it is nuts in the world I keep saying I eat clean and exercise and try to stay healthy so I can live about another 20 years to see how this fucker ends man it is it is crazy it gets crazier every day in this world man there ain't no global warming man that's a bunch of fucking bullshit all right keep telling yourself that my friends you oil sellers you oil sellers let me put my tin foil hat on here and tell you where the world goes in ups and downs and heaven flows and the world's flat and then it's round and it's fucking I don't know anyway all I do know is I'm 57 and there's never been a hurricane in California and you get an earthquake you know before I was always like yeah I've never lived in Florida or you know any of the those hurricane areas because they get them every fucking year and you get an earthquake like once every 10 20 years a big one you know like I lived through the 89 one and then I think 92 was the llama Lola llama Lola Lola whatever it was in LA but this was crazy just sitting here pouring rain and then a fucking quake LA has lost its mind too I went to the grocery store last night after I did a spot at the comedy store and I thought well stop at the grocery store at nine o'clock there's never anybody there on a Saturday night I'll stop in get some fruit grab some sparkling waters and get ready for a day a Sunday you know and I go in there and there's like a fucking hundred people in the grocery store and it doesn't even hit me at first I'm still going over notes in my head about my set like oh fuck I forgot to put that joke in there and this is a you know I'm just kind of going then I start looking around and like hey what the fuck are all these people doing in the grocery store and then I go to get some fruit and there's no fucking fruit there's no strawberries there's no blueberries there's a million bananas I guess LA does not eat bananas probably that'll make me fat but there was no strawberries there's no blueberries and the cotton candy grapes were fucking gone the new Delray favorite ever since I had them in Seattle a couple years ago there was no fruit I'm like what the fuck and then I turned the aisle to get some sparkling water and there was no fucking spot there was no water there's no toilet paper it was COVID all over again people had lost their mind they're like there are hurricanes coming oh man governor greasy has declared California a state of emergency I better go get shit if fucking this is fucking raining right now you know that's it it's fucking raining there's zero wind thank God and you know people lost their minds anyway so I don't know I'm just here and I'm ready to podcast for you guys on this crazy weekend it was it was a interesting weekend it was the third I think it was the third annual 818 maybe that second one but Brody passed away Brody Stevens good friend of mine and a solid human and everybody's favorite in the comedy community passed away three and a half years ago and he always had this bit 818 till I die 818 is the Valley's prefix back in the day remember that back in the day each kind of area had their own prefix Los Angeles was 213 and 818 that is it New York was 212 San Fran was 415 Sacramento 916 I'm just naming the ones I know and that's it forever then LA got bigger and they kind of got 310 in there and then 323 and just all kinds of bullshit now New York's got all different ones anyway Brody loved the Valley recita where he grew up and he would always say 818 till I die so August 18th is 818 and Tommy God love created this 818 day and got receded recognize it and of course that created the great Brody Stevens day which is just beautiful beautiful you know and last year they you know revealed the the amazing mural of them out in recita I was there for that and did the show last year did it this year this year it was fun it was let's see who was on that it was Dane Dane Cook Marin me Byron Bowers Jeff Garland and who else was on that I thought the scar brothers were on but I guess they weren't anyway it was a it was a big night of comedy at the store in the main room beautiful always great see Brody's mom she was there and she had the kick ass booth watching the comedy somebody had painted an amazing painting of Brody that they were auctioning off and just a beautiful night of comedy at the store and I had so much fun doing a set I you know a lot of times when I start to get loose on stage I think of Brody because he was just so free up there he had bits but he also would just riff with the crowd and and it was just kind of like an amazing one-man show of Brody great you'd have some mini meltdowns he would yell and scream he would laugh he would play drums on a stool it was just it was just complete amazing performance art and people that saw him that did know who they were they never forgot it and that's a that's a kind of a performance you want to be able to deliver when people leave they they go like I don't know what I just saw but it was fantastic or maybe they hated it which is even cool too they're like I didn't like that at all I got was crazy and then but they're still talking about it and that kind of that's the kind of performer you want to be like Mitzy Shore used to always say the great Mitzy Shore would say you want half the people to hate you and half to love you and then you're going to be very successful and I will tell you this right now as a performer a comedian an artist a podcaster that half they hate you I guess you need that but oh man fuck those guys anyway I love you Brody long live Brody Stevens we didn't get to do the softball game we're gonna have a softball game today and a Brody Stevens walk around the park and where his bench is there's a bench out there but we didn't get to do that because of the hurricane slash earthquake slash cocaine bear slash sharknado fucking nutty movies are coming true anyway so there it is the great Brody Stevens love you brother yes yes if you haven't seen any of the Brody clips I I highly recommend you you too Brody Stevens and just enjoy yourself for a couple hours and watch some very original original stuff man another thing happening today is the legendary Mr. Robert plant's birthday 75 it's amazing Robert plants only 75 because I always picture him as maybe around 80 in the last few years because he's just not because he looks old or anything but more like he's just been in my life for what feels like a zillion years and everybody's life he's been on stage about three quarters of his life and nonstop performing 75 still doing it at a high level doing those Allison Kraus tours this guy is it's unreal his career if you think about it because he's in the biggest band in the world John Bonham passes away they don't want to do it anymore and then he starts a solo career and his solo career was very fucking successful still is you know Grammys massive ticket sales a lot of hits in those early days man little by little I mean man his solo stuff totally different than Zeppelin kind of a lot of the solo stuff sounded where they Zeppelin were on that all of my love and through the outdoor record which I really fucking like and some people don't dig it but I was way into it it was it was the mature Led Zeppelin this is a Led Zeppelin as adults but I really like in through the outdoor and then I like a lot of plant solo songs and I went to see plant I remember in 1988 now in Zen tour shoreline and I was put on the guest list me and a friend went and we were all fired up the shoreline is an outdoor amphitheater in it kind of right before San Jose Santa Clara right around there with a new 49er stadium is it was built for the Grateful Dead basically to play their summer shows on an old dump it's an old landfill and I've told the story before but the first year people would be smoking cigarettes and they just throw them on the lawn and methane gas would just ignite people are just sitting there on their plank is like what the fuck you're watching you're watching like Soundgarden anyway so I went to see Robert plant and I was on the list I was all fired up and when we got there we found out that we had lawn seats and it was just lawn was you know L for loser like you just saw the L meaning lawn on your ticket and they were just like oh lawn I mean lawn is where you went when you just had no fucking money or connections and you just sat way the fuck up in the lawn and watched the concert on video screens it's not even like you're not even in it amazing that these places have been built over the years and it was just a way to like okay we can have like 7500 seats but we can put another 20,000 on the lawn and I never forget it me and my buddy he's like we're just a couple fools on the hill fool on the hill big log here it just we were up there we were just miserable but we stayed the whole time to see Robert plant we're such as Zeppelin plant fans and stuff we're just like I mean when somebody puts you on the list it's totally cool thank you which the guest list doesn't really happen much anymore because the bands sell their tours to live nation that's how it works these days excuse me they go on tour and live nation goes okay we're going to give you you know two million dollars for your tour and that's just like a flat rate and then that's what they get and if the band needs guest tickets they have to buy them because the tour was bought by live nation and live nation needs to sell those seats that's how it happens so in the old days they just be like hey we're coming to town you want to come out a couple guests and you get some cool fucking seats the guest seats were always around the seventh row and you would know you were in the guest seats because you'd be sitting next to other people that you knew or family members one time I was on the guest list for black crows oasis I was sitting next to Goldie Han and you know because Chris was married to to Katie and so you know you just it's always like a great row or great seat but now it doesn't really happen like people are like hey you're going to go to Metallica and it's like well I said it before I don't know how to buy tickets anymore because you go on and you're like oh these are like a million dollars so and I'm not going to hit up the band because I know that they're going to pay for it's like hey dude that's just a that's just a weird thing like now if they reach out and go hey we're in town you should come down they're not fucking go but I don't really want to reach out to somebody and be that person like hey man can you give me on plus one you know when people hit me up about the list I go yeah I just go solo all I need is one dude I understand you only get a few uh you know that is that is fucking how it happens which by the way uh you know I wanted to say this uh mindblower hold on I'll tell that story in a minute because it's fucking pretty cool story but anyway plant I think that if somebody puts you on the list these days they should warn you if uh if you're going to be on the lawn or not good seats I know nicky six he got me some tickets to go to that uh that stadium tour and then when I found out they were just kind of out with the people I just gave them to Ian because I was like ah I'm not like some fucking uh diva or anything but I just I've been to a million shows and I can't be out there with the beer spillers you know fucking yeah you know in the the long lines I just did it for um for dead and co because I was I'm into getting into that situation you're at a dead and co show it's going to be some cool people out there that are just like chill but you get to like a motley crew crowd and you just alright dude I'm old man I'm fucking old I wear nice clothes I don't like shit spilled on it I don't like cigarettes I've turned into that fucking grumpy old man I'm not a grumpy old man actually that's not true I just uh I you know I I'm into comfort I'm into comfort man I like to I got used to the side of the stage watching the band just enjoying looking at the guitars they're switching checking out other stuff watching the crowd from afar I'm into that and and also I go to the shows mostly for the hang now to see old friends because I've seen all these bands I've seen all the bands so I'm mostly there for the hang so um if you're on the list man it's like and that's even weird they go hey I put you on the list you're like well where where am I do I got good seats or am I on the line that's a weird fucking thing right am I on the lawn or or do I got backstage pass do I got parking hey do I got parking man these are all fucking big deep parking is a hundred bucks parking is a fucking uh man I sound like a fucking asshole today all right I just I'm just being honest though man it's so hard to go to concerts as you get older you're just kind of like oh the bathroom line oh man what if I got a shit I got a shit at the arena oh I was at the fucking uh I was at the farmer's market early this morning drinking coffee and a shit came on and I was rolling the dice man I was like do I try to get some fruit or do I just go home and I rolled the dice and you know I was doing the old ignore it for a while I could make it go away then I got the fruit and I fucking burned rubber home oh man the shit whenever I hear the sinner by Judas Priest I I use I sing it as the shitter the shit goddamn that's a high note and I'm fucking crazy today man the earthquake fucking it rocked me man it turned me into a fucking grump tomorrow I'll be like oh I didn't mean any of that shit man I was just fucking yeah I'll go to a concert I don't give a fuck but today that's where I'm at yeah oh oh so rubber plant happy 75th birthday man this guy the honey drippers Alice and Krause rubber plant Zeppelin the page plant uh what was that the joy one uh tons of fucking killer shit rubber plants done over his career you know rubber plant solo career it's totally a course overshadowed overshadowed by the massive led Zeppelin uh career I mean a course anything Robert's gonna do is overshadowed by Zeppelin but if you think about rubber plants solo career if it was my career people would be like goddamn this guy's fucking huge he's been huge for years man with all these radio hits and you know Grammys and stuff it's funny how successful he's been and still people are like yeah let's talk led Zeppelin of course if I had page or plan on I'd have to talk to him about Zeppelin and but I would also talk to him about his solo career because there's so much great stuff he's done but wild right anybody else have rubber plant solo career they'd be considered just a fucking superstar like I'm surprised rubber plant has not been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame as a solo artist uh not that I know of really but I I think that he could easily go in as a solo artist with uh all of the uh amazing hits that he's had anyway happy birthday 75 rubber plant you've been working your whole fucking time meanwhile Jimmy Page has only done a few things since Zeppelin I think Jimmy you know Robert spent that time of running away from Zeppelin like hey man I'm more uh than that you know I'm more than just Zeppelin and I think Jimmy Page is like I am Zeppelin which I respect both angles both angles uh I I understand you know it's tough to you know Jimmy had the firm and uh outrider and he's done some stuff but uh Jimmy is Zeppelin if you think about it and thinking about that what happened was today I uh I was on surfing around YouTube to find a perfect clip to put up of a rubber plant I posted it up on on Instagram and man did it get flagged instantly anything you put up a Zeppelin is just boom flagged right away so uh I was putting up the ocean which was live from Madison Square Garden and that is the song remains the same one of the greatest rock concert films ever hands down and there's so much folklore of the song remains the same and so much myths and so much uh craziness surrounding the filming of that the release of that and everything that uh happened around that concert and it is really kind of my first introduction to the Madison Square Garden and I remember watching that thing in a late night midnight movie in Santa Rosa California on 4th street there's a movie theater there I think it's still there and I went to the midnight movies to see the song remains the same fell in love with dazed and confused from the movie I just told the story recently where the neighbor I borrowed the neighbors uh song remains the same soundtrack and never gave it back but that was my kind of introductory to the Madison Square Garden non-sports up until that you know the garden as a sport venue boxing basketball it was a huge sporting venue it still is but it was my introduction to it as rock and roll and I always thought to myself playing music all those years I was like you know what man fuck I gotta play I gotta play a Madison Square Garden that is the fucking crown jewel of rock and roll the garden the forum red rocks those are the three in America the crown jewels now the cow palace it's a course means a lot to me but that's more nostalgic because of where I grew up and all the shows I saw in there but when you looked at the the high level of prestige of the garden the forum and red rocks those were the venues and I I got to do red rocks as a comedian not as a musician but as a comedian which actually means fucking more to me to do these venues as a comedian means so fucking much to me because I wasn't even doing comedy 14 years ago I was fucking selling motorcycles in Van Nuys California in 110 degree weather pushing out fucking ultra classics in the sun so some guy could see the sparkle on the paint job just burning up getting melanoma standing there why the guy goes I don't know is that pearlescent white or is that is that silver can we pull out the silver one next to it and just see you know I better go home and ask my wife if I can get this motorcycle you ain't getting a fucking motorcycle if you gotta ask your wife you ain't getting shit that's what I wanted to say to those guys always get the fuck out of here you ain't buying shit anyway my point is to do comedy at the red rocks and the la forum I did the forum twice and I did that because mr bill burr has asked me to open forum and you got to think about all that hard work that bill put in in his career to get to that fucking level and at the meantime I'm busting my ass just trying to get booked as a headliner in America and and then he's sharing that experience with me and just blowing my fucking mind you know so Saturday yesterday because it's Sunday but the podcast is out on Monday so anyway a couple days ago the illusion that this is recorded on a Monday like I said anyway Saturday I get a call from bill he says hey man you at home I go yeah he goes I'm gonna stop by and I go okay cool and he came by and he brought me over a fucking kick ass jaw shirt from Martha's Vineyard that's where Jaws was filmed I have still not made it out to Martha's Vineyard I've been dying to go one year to the Jaws weekend they do like a kind of a Jaws weekend or week out there and I've always wanted to go there and just just see those locations and just take it in you know Jaws just being in the top five film ever for me so he brings me over this beautiful cool shirt man it's like Jaws what's it saying I got it right here it's Jaws Martha's Vineyard and it's just the cool it's the drawing of the shark from home of Jaws Martha Vineyards from when they they have the meeting the town meeting and Quint goes down there y'all know who I am you know how I make a living I'll catch the shark for five but I'll find him and kill him for 20 whatever um which by the way side note the uh Jaws play is going on on Broadway in New York I must see this I've got to see it it's got Quint's son in it Robert Shaw's son in it and man it looks fucking great so he comes over he gives me the t-shirt we're hanging out we're talking we're just hanging laughing I hadn't seen Bill in a month because he's been on vacation it was great to fucking see him and he's I gotta get out of here and as he gets up he's walking out of my house and nonchalant he goes oh hey you want to do the garden with me that fucking like I got goosebumps right now every time the way he did it the fucking nonchalant just throw it off the cuff it was beautiful it was beautiful and I just I got like a fucking like tears of eyes man and you know I I just I think it was just the best fucking way oh hey man you want to do the garden with me and I was like no can you imagine if I said no man I'm good fuck I just said like what the fuck and then he just walked down the street and just I was like dude I'm I can't fucking believe it I even texted him like dude I can't believe so I'm gonna do the garden and man I mean I gotta tell you man there's just nothing more mind boggling to me than doing the garden stand-up comedy New York City March 10th for the New York Comedy Festival unfucking believable man and thank you Bill thank you so much and also thank all of you people out there for your like kind words and and support and coming out and you know seeing comedy see me do comedy it keeps me going I love what I do I do have low points in my life that's just part of fucking doing art I get it and it is a marathon not a sprint as they fucking say the old cliche I'm here I'm not going nowhere I love doing stand-up and man I'm closing out 2023 at the garden no matter whatever happens in my career I've already made it man I made it the day they painted my name on that comedy store wall that was the day I made it because I had no expectations at all I was just I'm doing comedy I'm 44 I want to try some comedy I want to do this I've always wanted to do it in my life and fucking here I am 14 years later I'm about to do Madison Square Garden and each time I do one of these venues I just keep thinking I need to get back here and headline this fucker you know what I mean get there and and that's a that's a fucking lofty goal but it's just fucking you know you gotta you gotta you gotta have some goals anyway so it's gonna be interesting being in there I was there last time Bill did it it was great hung out with him got to see him take

what you're giving your dog that's why I recommend you get me ghost dog me ghost dog calm get it all right back into the show my fucking mates I'll tell you this right now um what was I oh this is what I've been doing I am obsessed with becoming a minimalist I keep trying to do it every year and I'm whittling down the shit and I over the last 35 years have um amassed a huge collection of rock and roll memorabilia and I'm I'm ready to let it go so I've been going through it a lot of it is posters and um it was the lunacy of me is unbelievable I'm just a fucking lunatic man and the more I can talk about that on stage and find the funny in it the better I'm gonna get because I am fucking out of my mind and I don't even know how I make it through each day just like fucking crazy so I'm going through my poster tubes got like 40 poster tubes that I've cornered around between five fucking apartments and then while I was living in New York they went into storage and this is how long I've had these posters a lot of them have my old San Francisco address on the posters I would just buy shit never open it up because I didn't want it to get fucking bent or or or creased or any of that shit I want my artwork mint so I can take it down to get framed and when I buy a house one day a big house I'll have it loaded with all these cool posters and you'll come in and you'll be like wow dude you fucking did some shit he's talking to my neighbor a couple days ago and he's like you know a lot of people's houses have stuff from their past but they don't have anything from now and that kind of hit me you know you go in someone's house and you see who they used to be or what they were into but they don't have any like current things that kind of represent them and I was like yeah that's fucking pretty interesting you know because a lot of people do like you know I load up with dumb shit like I gotta have that evil kineval doll I had one when I was a kid I'm wiping all of that away and I'm telling you if this stuff wasn't worth some money I would just throw it away and I would be instant minimalist but I respect it too much it's beautiful cool posters and photos and stuff like that I took so a box of a shit down to Rockaway which is a rock memorabilia place here in LA and they bought some of this stuff they I got about 500 bucks from them and some old laminates I had a bunch of fucking used to have like fucking 200 laminates just on a doorknob to a bathroom every time you open the fucking bathroom all the laminates um so they bought some laminates I had a giant guns and roses Chinese democracy kind of era um poster which by the way guns and roses just released a new song perhaps perhaps perhaps I was wrong hi hi um so this is their third tune they would they have absurd and hard school and now perhaps they're all obviously tracks from the Chinese democracy era rerecorded or reworked but I'm still looking forward to them maybe getting in the studio and writing something as a band I'm not quite sure why that hasn't happened and maybe maybe the chemistry isn't there anymore for writing as a band you know I mean there's some bands have that where they they had that fucking nucleus and exploding lightning in a bottle thing and then they try and they're like well let's just rework some of these tunes I don't know what it is but I do know that that these are the Chinese democracy uh outtakes and stuff like that there's still some good stuff on Chinese democracy it didn't get a lot of uh a lot of love and it was like 29 years in the making or whatever it was but uh I like better and stuff like that and and perhaps is cool I was talking to Kevin on the uh Instagram zoom uh sorry the zoom live and he really liked it it's got kind of a illusions era kind of yesterday's kind of vibe and um I liked absurd I thought it was weird absurd absurd I'm just singing like a dick today all over this podcast anyway so uh congrats on getting another track out and uh that that's pretty fucking cool got another song from them and they're playing it on the radio and uh new g and r you know anyway so I've been selling this rock memorabilia and I didn't even know what the fuck was in these tubes it's been so long they weren't labeled so for three days during the day I would just open up the tubes uh take pictures of the shit and and be blown away like wow look at this I can there was this shit in my collection I didn't even know I fucking had there's a giant amazing uh photo I can't make out who the photographer is because this the the writing the signature is not recognizable to me it's not a Jim Marshall it's not a Baron woman it's not uh a mick rock I can't really make it out but it's a a huge photo of the Stones on the 72 tour it's mick taylor jagger Keith Richards and right behind him is charlie and it's beautiful I was like wow I didn't even fucking remember having that all of this stuff I didn't remember what it was until I opened it up but one of the tubes I opened up was this incredible it was three posters from the Andrew Wood documentary Malfunction and I looked at them they were signed to me from the from the director of the documentary now if you have not seen uh Mother Love Bones Andrew Wood documentary called Malfunction it came out I don't know maybe 10 years ago or something it is fantastic and I stared at it the poster for a while spelled my name wrong D-E-L-R-E-Y classic so I'm like uh but I remember Regan got him for me the drummer from Brad and uh so I'm staring at it and I just it just immediately threw me into a Mother Love Bone rabbit hole again there I am it's just fucking ADHD or ADD or whatever the one the many uh brain dysfunctions I have and I open up the poster and next thing you know for the next hour I'm just watching videos and listening to Andrew Wood and Mother Love Bone again and just exactly in the same frame of mind I was the first day I heard him and that was this fucking band kills and that's all I kept fucking thinking all that day listening to the apple and thinking what a masterpiece record this is it is insane how good Mother Love Bone was and it's wild to think how they went on to become Pearl Jam after Andrew died and they're huge but man that love bone was something that was just fucking cool just that flavor of Elton John meets Seattle Grunge dark druggy music unbelievable bone china this is Shangri-La it is it is incredible the artwork that Jeff did for the record the mix the sound the recording the record plant recorded right there in Sausalito unreal man and the posters are just fucking cool because he's just pure rock and roll he had that day the Lee Roth kind of uh uh you know vibe of all the clothing that he wore he loved to dress rock and roll which was so out at that time you know you you wanted to dress down not full regalia of just you know waving your rock and roll flag but he didn't give a fuck big glasses furry jackets um you know flowery pants and he's just total day the Lee Roth looking uh kind of eat him and smile era Roth you know like what the fuck this is this is great anyway so it was really cool to uh to see these posters and everything I got I've been slowly posting it up on instagram and my stories if anybody wants to buy anything I'll send it out to you I just want to uh I want it to go somewhere cool and there's a lot of good stuff there there's some beautiful rare Tom Weitz posters really rare there is uh uh some killer Angus photography some photos there is uh I even got some

years old had a stroke fucking brutal crazy shit man crazy shit my friends so I want you to load your fucking apartment up with a bunch of shit reach out oh I'm even selling what I'm selling a dude wipe the day I just found over I got a dude wipe the day this fucking house it's gonna look like a goddamn fucking swap meet swap meet um anyway a couple more things and then uh I hope to see you guys out at the live shows tour dates are at dean delray dot com I was at the coffee being this morning and a stroke song came on last night and it immediately hit me I was like these guys have a goddamn classic songs like fucking million years old now and anytime I hear it I just go this is a masterpiece song immediately it is a it is a it's a classic rock song now classic rock it's 20 years old or whatever whenever it came out but anytime I hear last night by the strokes and even though it's their hit their their first big hit I still love it a lot of bands their first hit I don't dig anymore like I never never need to hear satisfaction by the stones of course I don't need to do that but when I hear uh the strokes last night man it puts me in a fucking great mood because it immediately reminds me of uh when I first uh start coming back to LA playing gigs and realizing people wearing leather jackets and playing guitars again I was like this is cool and uh that fucking record and that song just crush which by the way when I was going through my stuff I just found this beautiful strokes photo that uh uh photographer sent over to me and it's them like looks like they're just in high school they're just like fucking so young and and ready to take on the world like all right and um yeah so the fucking song is great I'm kind of all over the board on this podcast today I just fucking you know just kind of crazy somebody somebody uh they uh they tweeted at me what's with these fucking solo episodes it's bullshit you used to interview fucking stars this show sucks now I love somebody all angry like god forbid you change fuck you I don't like you I was like good go home go home move on as uh James Hepfield would say move on solo episodes are fun man I love doing them and uh they're just fucking squirrely I don't know where I'm gonna go I put down some bullet points I get ready to talk about stuff it takes me a little while to even start doing it because I'm like all right I gotta fucking get ready and uh turn this mic on and and go for it the weekend was the anniversary also of uh Woodstock and I always love to celebrate Greg Raleigh on that weekend my good friend Greg Raleigh I'll never forget when he did the podcast for the 50-year anniversary of Woodstock it meant the world to me New York City great but it got me thinking uh about the other bands that played there and one was Jefferson Airplane and I was like where the fuck is Grace Slick so I just tweeted that where's Grace Slick at anybody'd know you know and then I got a an army of um of tweets and DMs people tell me oh she paints she doesn't you know play music anymore I go I know she doesn't play music anymore because I fucking I'm alive I listen to music I have not seen she's she is one of the people I would love to podcast with because she just stepped out of the business and never came back no bogus reunion tours no uh fake Jefferson airplanes none of that man there's a fake starship out there whatever airplane out there somebody's singing her part but she didn't take part in any of that and it is interesting to see somebody step out and never look back and some people would be like what the fuck what's wrong with her and other people are like hey good for her man you know she played rock and roll and then she got out you know how fucking rare that is nobody usually gets out unless it's in a fucking wood box if you think about that no one steps away from rock and roll until they die or they can't sell tickets anymore but if they can do a little bit of tickets they get you know they're addicted to that fucking that performing or they got like six divorces or they got ripped off from the record company and they need to do it for a living but it's very rare I mean look at the Rolling Stones they are loaded Metallica's loaded the who is loaded you too is loaded they still go out but Grace Slick said see ya and men would I'd like to talk to her about that now I'm pretty sure she's probably angry out there about the old business in the old world or whatever from my to my recollection my recollection there would be once in a while kind of angry little spats or maybe I dream that up I don't know but Grace Slick you know maybe she can't sing anymore and she doesn't want to go out there and you know tune down the songs or whatever I don't know what it is but congrats man if you're happy and you're out of rock and roll and you're happy with your decision fucking ballsy man because I don't ever see it I would never step away from comedy I would have to be just you know death or no tickets or no bookings I mean you know that's that's the big scary thing of comedy I'm always begging for bookings I god damn I got to get booked you know uh headlining dates trying to get further and further in the career but I wouldn't stop but I think that's because I started so late in life I wouldn't play music right now that's for sure so I can understand where she's coming from where you do something for a long time and then you walk away people always ask me how'd you quit music why don't you still do music you should still do music and it's like no man I did it you ever done anything for fucking 25 years let on five years I I'm good I played music it was fucking fun I'll do it once in a while with my good friends for a little Bond Scott shit that's fucking incredibly fun to me but to fire up a band in this day and age oh no fucking way man no way it is just brutal my friends brutal on all different levels you're hearing your body you're fucking your your wallet so great slick man I hope one day to maybe talk to her and uh you know a lot of fucking San Francisco history there man one of the great great fucking bands Jefferson airplane unbelievable how cool they were I was telling the story one time that uh I was in my band we're playing we were rehearsing out in this old chicken farm coop thing we took mushrooms and there was a some guy turned in his chicken coops into rehearsal studio so there's other bands and we took mushrooms and we played white rabbit for about three hours and finally some band knocked on the door and they're like what the fuck are you guys doing I mean we're just in there just fucking frying on some of the best mushrooms man it was I'll tell you what it was just epic to keep playing that tune and just looking at each other like man I get it white rabbit it's fucking it's just deep dude well gotta get out of here I love you let me make sure I got everything here oh one last thing I saw a thing on Instagram that uh senate candles are toxic now I don't want to burn any candles that they said they're loaded with petroleum all these years senate candles are awful for you and I've been huffing them down for years it'd be awful if I died from uh scented candle death but uh anyway uh I just wanted to throw that out there I don't know if it's true or or propaganda but there's an Instagram thing where the guy just said these scented candles aren't just brutal for you so I'll leave you with that little fucking nugget hope to see it the shows of at the comedy store all this week and and
