 Alright, it is episode number 682 of Let There Be Talk solo again. I'm enjoying doing the solo episodes and it seems like you guys are digging it too. And so yeah, fuck it. Come on once a week or so, shoot the shit about stuff I've been doing, stuff that's going on out in the world, and still have guests, but you know, I'm just trying to get it together here. Peace myself back together. Welcome to what's today? Monday the 6th. Oh, it's Axl Rose's birthday. I think he's like 61 or two out there just making gazillions, singing, singing his ass off, touring nonstop. Happy birthday to that man. It's an onslaught of Aquarius this week. It's like Duff, me and Axl and who else? Oh, my good buddy, Del James, all kinds of people all in one week. So thank you. I want to tell everybody for the happy birthday wishes and all the DMs and text and everything. That means the world to me. 57 years old, pretty fucking wild. And 57 is just a dumb number. You know, it's so weird when you look at birthdays and you think like, yeah, it's just 57, but 60, that'll be a milestone. Then I'll have a big ripper party and everybody will say you're old, you're 60. But any birthday is a milestone. Let's just be honest. You make it another year and you're like, fuck. And I don't sit there and go, oh man, I'm old. I just, I sit down and I go, okay. I'm doing exactly what I want to do. I want to do comedy. And I've been doing that for 14 years. This is my 14th year. I like to podcast. I love getting out there, meeting you guys. And, uh, you know, putting some sentences together that may make you laugh. Speaking of that, um, show next week, Elko, Nevada two nights, Elko, Nevada. And then the following week will be San Francisco homecoming show punchline February 22, 23, 24, 25. So both the dates are on the website. Dean Delray. I didn't know. Where do you come? I didn't know. There you go. You know, that's all I can do. That's all I can do is I can say it in a microphone. I can say it on social media. I can type it up, put it out there. That's all I can do. And, uh, had a, had a good birthday. Had, uh, spent it with some friends. Headlined out in Palm Springs. Felt good. It's, it's so weird to headline on and off. Like you, you do like, you know, the comedy store all week. You do like 15 minute spots. And then maybe I go out and open for Burr or, or Joey Diaz or somebody and do 20, 25. And then I go out and headline and you're doing an hour. And you've got to string all your material together and make it, uh, yeah, make it flow and have like a great thread to where people are fucking laughing. It's not all clunky. Like here's joke number four. Now here's joke number five. But, uh, anyway, it felt good. Got to see some old friends. It was wild. Some people I haven't seen in like 20, 25 years came out to the Palm Springs. Aqua Caliente casino. That's where I was. I did a one night or there. And, uh, the audience was amazing. It was a mix of, uh, red and blue. And that's always a great combination in a room when you get some people that are way into one joke. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. That's funny. And then you do something else and I like, wait a minute. That ain't fucking funny. That might be about me. They'll say they don't like you. And they're looking at you like, you better win me back. Nah, man. That ain't how it works, man. I'm just up here fucking slinging sentences. Like I said, and, uh, it was great out in Palm Springs. I can't think of a better place to spend my birthday than, uh, Palm Springs. I absolutely love the desert. I've been going like crazy since COVID. I've been going like crazy for years, but since COVID, I've really fallen in love with it out there. And, uh, a lot of the shops, a lot of the food, and then of course just the incredible mountains and desert scenery. And, uh, you know, I, I, somebody. Hipped me to the store out there. It was called market market. And I go to the store all the time out there called Mojave flee, which is basically kind of like a big store of different vendors that makes shit. I'm into smell good shit. I'm like, uh, metrosexual. Remember those? Remember those guys? They didn't know. They weren't sure if you're gay or not. So they're like, I think he's a metro. It's a straight dude that likes to possibly dress gay or smell gay. How do you smell gay? You just smell clean. All right. You smell gay. Fucking people. They're crazy. Right. Anyway, uh, I love to smell good. I love oils and, uh, incense. I like my house to smell good. I like my ass to smell good. I like my, uh, armpits to smell good. I like to smell good. I don't, I shower, man. I fucking shower. Sticky ass is the worst, man. Second hand. Second hand ass. I've said it before you get on a plane and you sit in a seat and a guy just had fucking stink ass. And now you've got second hand ass on your jeans. Perfectly clean jeans. Now it just smells like someone's else. Someone else's ass. I keep it clean out there. But, uh, so I go to the store in Mojave. They always have people that make shit. You know, like the grails, the proof of it. I love people that make stuff and, and, uh, work out outside the box on their own shit. So I go to the store all the time and I'm in there and they go, oh, by the way, we have a new store up the street. And the woman just kind of describes it as just a, uh, you know, it's a kind of a cool used clothing store. I say, I'll go check it out. I'm not a big, I used to be, I used to be way into like vintage clothes and, uh, you know, uh, just like cool, old Levi's and jackets, but they make such great shit now that blows that old vintage stuff away and fit and finish and everything. So I'm just kind of like, yeah, I'm not really into used clothes, but I decided to, uh, to go check it out. And this woman totally described the store wrong. I'm just, I'm blown away. So I pull up, it's in a, uh, like an old kind of, uh, outdoor indoor kind of a, you know, funky looking strip mall at the south end of Palm Springs. It looks like it's going to be bunk. I pull up. I'm like, what is this? See a couple of people walking out that address kind of like, uh, cowboys, actual cowboys, you know, those guys, they dress like cowboys in 2023. I love it. I don't knock anybody. My neighbor dresses like a cowboy. I call him cowboy Rob. He's just a straight up cowboy. Uh, and Los Angeles cowboy. Not not going to know. Matter of fact, I saw a couple of girls wearing, uh, ostrich cowboy boots. And, uh, you know, I, I rocked cowboy boots back in the 80s full on G and R style with some spurs, uh, skin tight pants inside the boot, pointier, the better later than you get in. You got different areas of boots. You got the pointy ones, the old Tony Amas, that look. Love it. And then, uh, then you've got the stoner almond brothers, Acme, uh, you know, the, uh, the square toe, that fucking, that boot. It's always brown. It's got the brass ring on the side. You know, when I was young, my mom bought me some boots. And I love that show. Wild, wild West. And, uh, you know, he, he had like, he always had boots. And then under the heel, he'd have like a little grenade or smoke bomb or some kind of sniffing salt and knock people out. You know, some, you know, he's like the cowboy James Bond. And so I remember my mom bought me some boots and I pride the heel off to see if there's any kind of any kind of fucking smoke bomb under there or whatever. And it just ruined the brand new pair of boots. Oh man. Hot wheel track was flying. Hot wheel. But, uh, anyway, so I go into the store market, market opened up the door. I look in and it is fucking massive. It's 40,000 square feet. It's an old supermarket and all the walls are knocked out. And it's got like exposed air conditioning ducks and everything. And what it is, it's basically like, you know, uh, mid-century furniture, old art and clothing and just, I mean, a gamut of stuff that is all high end and amazing stuff that have come out of these mid centuries when people die in their homes out in Palm Springs. And then, you know, people instead of having a state sales, they put it in the shop now. And it was, it blew my mind. I mean, there was like furniture in there. If you wanted to make your place look like clockwork, orange, cocaine, you know, 80s, futuristic den. They had that. If you wanted to look straight up Mad Men, they had that furniture. And then the corners, they had clothing and paintings, like rad paintings and old photos. There's this incredible photo of, uh, Martin Luther King, his first, uh, his first headshot. It was like an authentic photo. It was insane, man. It was like, God damn, you know, uh, you just, the, the shop was just loaded with beautiful, crazy stuff. And it was, it was so big. You could have a football game in there easily. Uh, so if you're on Palm Springs, man, go check this place out. Market, market, really, really insane. And then Mojave Flea is a great shop. I spent out to Joshua tree, of course, and went out to a pioneer town and just the weather was perfect and just kind of cruised around in the, uh, you know, that old West town. And I hadn't been in a, in a bit. I hadn't been out there in probably about four months cause they did the Marcus King tour. And then of course I was dealing with my mom and everything. So I have not been out to the desert in a while. And it was, uh, great to get back out there and, uh, and, uh, felt good, little decompress, do some comedy, came back and, uh, had some good food with some friends, did a comedy all weekend. It was at the store. I was at the improv. I was at the laugh factory. I was everywhere. By the way, comedy store has dropped a box set vinyl box set 50 year anniversary of the comedy store. And it's albums of all these different eras. And, uh, I had the, uh, the honor of being on one of the records and you can also stream it right now on iTunes, which is just amazing to be part of that. I'm just, today was the first day I heard it. And it, uh, it choked me up, man. It choked me up a little bit because I was just like, kind of, I'm part of these, you see these names and you're just like, I'm, I'm in there. That is just incredible. And my joke is fucking, it's not half bad. It's recorded in the main room. I was, uh, it was a rockin night and the, the audio quality of it sounds great. So I was really, uh, happy to be part of that. And, uh, yeah, go check it out. There's so many people on this. I get the vinyl cause in case it ever goes out of print, man, don't miss out on this full 50 year anniversary. It's like old jokes from people in the seventies and eighties and nineties. And it's just a history lesson in comedy all on, uh, vinyl or streaming if you want, but, uh, thanks comedy store for having me. Very, very cool. I forgot to mention speaking of, uh, of, uh, going places. I forgot to mention last episode that when I was in New York, I ended up going to see in the, uh, Virgil Abloh, uh, exhibit in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn museum. And, oh man, this thing is incredible. They got a whole section of the museum dedicated to Virgil and all of his, uh, you know, all of his designs and his, his art and the sneakers and, and just, it just has this kind of beautiful combo of hip hop and sneaker culture and fashion all in one. It's ending at the end of the month. I'm so happy I got to see it because it really knocked me out. It was, it wasn't really, uh, big, but it was well worth it. And, uh, just for me, just alone to see all the sneakers that he did, there was some that never came out and then there was, uh, you know, he did that big Louis Vuitton collab for a few years. He was, uh, designing for them. There was something in there that knocked me out and really took me back to the seventies when I was young and it was a bat kite. It was a Louis Vuitton bat kite. Now I don't know if you've grown up in the seventies or eighties or if you are, uh, you know, grew up in the nineties or whatever, I haven't really looked and I should have looked on, on, uh, I'm sure they're on eBay all over, but the old school bat kite, it's so weird to think about how simple life was pre-internet. You go down, you go to the supermarket and you'd buy a kite for like three dollars. They had different ones. They had the standard one where you had the wood sticks and you kind of made a cross like a Jesus Christ. You know, cross and then the kite, you stretch the kite over the crosses. Now it's more kind of like the, uh, you know, almost the Christian version of a kite, just real safe. And, you know, you're out with your parents flying a kite like, yeah, we've got a kite. And you had to put a tail on it so it wouldn't fucking just crash for some reason. The tail made it to sore all cool. But then there was the evil kite. That was more of my speed. And it was shaped like a bat, like Batman, the Batman logo. It was always made of plastic. And I remember specifically, you know, you'd buy rolls of string and I would try to get like five rolls and make that thing go up like two, three miles in the sky to where you can't see it. Or you and your buddies would get kites and you tie razor blades onto the bat wing part and you fucking try to take each other out. Just slicing a string. You slice a string or it's kite. It goes soaring. And then there was always that kite failure where you're flying it and it got caught up on a power line or, or the string broke and went like a mile away in someone's yard. Anyway, there it was. The Virgil Abloh Louis Vuitton fucking bat kite. And I thought, man, I wish I had that. I don't care what it costs just to put in the house somehow hang it to where it looked like it was constantly flying, you know, in your house. It was just fucking cool. Kites was the last time somebody talked about a kite on a, on a podcast. You don't get that anywhere else. Shit. Kite flying. Yeah, that's what kind of thug I am. He just did shit when you're a kid, man. He just flew kites. You did some waterborne fights. You did some, you know, plane cards onto your bike tires. So it sounded like a motorcycle. You did water weenies. Wiping slide. All the simple shit. When you were young pre internet now internet. Now you kids just look at a fucking screen. You're just out there screening. Or shooting guns. One of the two fucking crazy. God damn man. Kite flying. That wasn't even on my list to talk about, but I'm just such an organic flower. When I do solo episodes. I'm like, man, I just fucking, I just tell it how it is. Oh, anyway. So comedy store. It's got the 50 year anniversary out and very cool. Hoping to get the tracks onto XM radio sometime in the next few weeks. I got to figure that out on sound exchange. I got so much shit to do constantly. It's just like, when you just work for yourself, it's constant shit. Like, oh fuck, I forgot. I got to make a video for the Elko shows. Oh shit. I got to write jokes. Oh fuck. I got to book a flight. Oh man. I got to do a podcast. It's just crazy. It's just unbelievable. Also, I want to shout out right now the patreoners. God, thank you so much. And there's some special ones out there this week.

we go Grammys Grammys were last night I didn't even know the Grammys were happening it's like I just don't have time to think about award shows I do try to watch the Academy Awards every year because I just love watching you know you fall in love with some films and then you're like let's check it out I used to watch the Grammys like crazy and I'm not one of those guys it's like they don't show any rock anymore I hear that over and over and over and it makes me fucking crazy because it's like when rock started it was all about being outlaws and not part of the system and you fuckers don't get it but the people do that's what I'm always hoping that happens with me the industry doesn't get it but the people do they're big Dell razors but that's how rock started out and then yeah it got fucking huge and mainstream in the 80s with all the Bon Jovi's and all that stuff and then they were getting all kinds of awards and they were popular so of course they're on the Grammy Awards but I don't remember you know and I think this is true I don't think Zeppelin won any Grammys and I don't think they gave a fuck and I think I don't think the Stones won the Grammys back in the day you know back in the 70s 72 did exile win the Grammy I don't know maybe it did but I don't I've never seen footage of them showing up and playing you know you know ventilator blues on NBC in 1972 it was they were outlaws and it was a small core of people that were cool that listened to rock and then it got big and mainstream and you know if your type of music or your type of art is big it's going to have the machine reach out because they want to make some money on you and they want people to watch the fucking show and so they you know will have you on and so you know people just every year it's the same people on the internet it's crazy every year here they come yeah well fucking it would show any fucking rock man fucking bullshit fucking man who cares go to YouTube you know much rock is on YouTube rock is played all over the place sporting events the coffee bean uh fucking any venue yeah rock is everywhere and uh it's not on the Grammys right now that's who cares that's because the people that tune into the Grammys are like old soccer moms that spin around in their SUVs listening to like Adele and Beyonce and stuff they're not going to want to see jack white on there or you know the killers or mastodon or Marcus King they want to just see some fashion they want to see some uh you know the people that they hear in their yoga class and it's fine and not only that but hip hop is fucking great and they showcased the fuck out of hip hop last night I watched it today they did a 50 year anniversary of hip hop and these rock people that could play man I listened to everything I listened to country shout out to Willie Nelson won some Grammys he's gonna be 90 in a few months they're doing a giant party for him at the Hollywood Bowl uh shout out to Bonnie Ray she fucking swept that shit you know and what you think Bonnie Ray isn't rock you're out here mine a woman blues guitar player that just you know went through probably hell her whole career and had a big big big era in the 80s and now she's got a bunch of Grammys beat out Beyonce and everybody that shit is rock that's rock right there and hip hop is rock it's got it's dangerous it's it's completely in our culture 100 percent I love hip hop as much as I love rock I have since the day I heard it had no idea it was 50 50 years old I'm 57 so I thought it was maybe about 45 because I first discovered hip hop right there on rapper's delight and from then on I'm obsessed with it and always have loved it public enemy you know being the all-time greatest for me Chuck D no one better but I listen to hip hop right now and I'm not one of those guys and matter of fact you know the Beastie Boys was one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time and they were rock hip hop soul instrumental weird jazz everything and um you know it was amazing what the Grammys did for hip hop last night they gave him 13 minutes 13 minutes and did three different eras of hip hop with all of these fucking greats and you know it was it was done well man you got like fucking dude hold on let me look here it was unbelievable who was on this uh I got it I watched you can watch it on YouTube and I just loved uh seeing iced tea back out there just spitting raw game ll cool just unreal all right so Buster Rhymes Wu Tang come on man outcast uh Missy Elliott Queen Latifa big tv star now fucking started in hip hop too short from Oakland who I know and see at the comedy store here and there and was uh part of his uh video back in the day of the Omni with the pit bulls Jimmy and I talked about that but uh I mean they just went you know who was missing I don't know why but no ice cube no nwa um and of course beasties because you know mca is gone rest in peace just just fucking gangster anyway you can watch it on youtube and it's just great to see it you know from grandmaster flash and uh you know like I said eric b oh man it's just so great I'm looking at the list of a Chuck D though man every time I see him I just fucking I just lose my mind I just love Chuck D and flavor Flav and there they are still alive killing it they still tour dj lord is the dj my friend and um it's just great to see that glory from the Grammy so uh quick and plain and man quick and plain and it's the same thing with the rock hall those same people and I hate talking about it every year because I say I'm not going to talk about it anymore but I just it's just crazy how it's the same people every year talking about like man this is bullshit fucking I thought it was rock and roll man fucking what is this the rock hall has some good nominees this year let me look at it right here I grabbed it because uh you know we got uh oh man sound garden kind of I'm hoping they go in sound garden iron maiden of course you know uh I think maiden will go in because they're still doing arenas and they they they did that kind of side side step for a priest but I think maiden will go in and uh joy division oh my god I'm still worship that movie you know um joy division's up George michael's willy nelson he's gonna go in hands down I didn't know he wasn't in which are strange against the machine needs to be in sound garden uh tribe called quest absolutely white stripes 100 percent warn zevon's not in warn zevon needs to be in the rock hall immediately uh Cheryl crow she'll go in she sold a hundred million records she writes her songs she plays instruments uh no no matter what you think of it she's not rockin she'll crow is 100 rock and roll and uh you know has wrote some of the best songs uh you know I mean they're classics she wrote them she sang them she's toured she's endured uh some craziness uh over the years all the way back to when the guitar player died right out of the gate um so yeah Cheryl crow congrats spinners can't believe the spinners aren't in how are the spinners not in the rock and roll hall of fame that's absurd so quit crying out there people there's plenty of uh places you can find your music that you like and youtube is the number one spot uh also all kinds of rock and roll all over the internet hulu instagram uh instagram loves rock uh netflix documentaries amazon prime documentaries there's plenty of rock out there yeah yeah yeah oh they didn't get recognized well you know Ozzy Ozzy who just uh announced his retirement he won two Grammys for uh nation number nine and that new record so shout out to Ozzy retiring people asked what I thought and I was like well you know uh I'm just happy that he uh he's still alive I don't need him to be performing I know he wants to perform because uh he talks about it all the time but I'm just happy he's still alive because we are losing a lot of these legendary rock and rollers so let's just let him chill and enjoy his grandkids and uh I think what he should do is maybe since he can't really travel and I don't know how bad off he is but maybe a residency in Vegas just gets in the elevator goes straight down to stage get him out there let him sing a concert back up the elevator chill out for a few days then do it again I I could see that a residency would be fantastic everybody would fly to Vegas to see that I still think the stones should end their career uh in Vegas just Keith and Mick on stage acoustic just like they started in a bedroom you know check out my blues record Keith like that's a pretty good record mate yeah tell little stories strum some acoustics some harmonica play like sweet virginia play like miss you acoustic play all of exile whatever just two of them up there in the career like a three month residency be fucking smoking I know that the uh the shows first of all the show would just sell out there would be no tickets two of them in Vegas at uh at one of the primo rooms too like that one um let's see the one bur bur does I forget what that is or the one Adele plays like a really nice fucking room I finished the Elvis movie by the way speaking of Vegas I finished it thanks to my man uh Ryan he he hooked me up with a right fax with a HBO code so take that HBO I watch them stuff at the house next Netflix people are furious right they're talking about not letting you share your password and stuff oh man people are like this is bullshit they're gonna get shit in the password you ain't got nothing good on there I'm not paying everybody wants shit for free man Netflix see you're gonna get a little taste of the music industry that's what happens man people get shit free and next thing you know they don't want to pay they do not want to pay you cannot put the genie back in the bottle so we will see what happens with that oh man what do we got here let me look here I'm uh I'm babbling away I want to get to a couple couple other things here um what oh this happened to me uh I was reading the um the top 20 uh industry music industry money makers of the year and fucking chili peppers I think they were number three and there were heavyweights on there I mean heavyweights and chili peppers amount of money they made last year what it made my fucking glasses pop off man I was like chili peppers it's so crazy to think about that then how much money they made last year when I think about the history of the chilies losing a guitar player then losing the second one because it quits then having that at one point Dave Navarro was in the band remember that Dave Navarro was in the fucking chili peppers it was like a cross pollination of fucking 90s yeah here we go wait we got a combo but these guys made some fucking money man and uh you know they are making crazy money right now and what made me think about this was flea is selling his house and I am one of his houses now flea has like I'm I think like five homes but he has this house and you know I'm a uh an architecture junkie I love mid-century I love lotters so flea has this house that is in Lautner up in the Glendale Pasadena Hills area Altadena something like that it's on this perfect fucking ledge just overlook in the city and then and then he or somebody else built another house that's ultra modern and crazy looks like a like uh you know those honeycomb pastas you ever get those mac and cheese at one point you could get the honeycomb mac and cheese oh it was deluxe this wasn't your peasant fucking tubes this was honeycombs you were like another level of uh you know right above poor you were a little poor if you had the honeycomb round craft macaroni and cheese so there's another house that looks like that on the lot and then there's a pool and a fucking log cabin a new log cabin that flea had built this compound straight up I can't remember I think it's eight million dollars and then I'm going to quote my mom if I win the lottery I will call flea because I'll get his number from somebody I know and I will say flea I'll buy your place and you want to do the podcast but I would buy this now I'm bummed because I don't need three homes I only like a one or two bedroom house I don't need no mansions I've said it over and over fuck a mansion but this lotiner that's on there and you can go look at it put in flea's house for sale on youtube and just have your head pop off this lotiner on there is so worth it that I'm not quite sure what I would do with the other places I guess they would sit empty or maybe Gertie would have her own house Gertie could go chill in the log cabin and or you just make the the honeycomb the Kraft mac and cheese honeycomb house make that some kind of cool I don't know studio slash something I don't need all that and the property taxes are going to be fucking insane but the actual lotiner house is so incredible to me and you know eight million bucks that's just one of flea's houses out of flea's super paper I am blown away by the paper that chili peppers have made now one they sold the under the bridge record what is that red hot minute or something what's that one call I can't remember no red hot minutes after but the one with under the bridge that sold during the era of people not stealing music so just that record alone has probably made those guys most of their money then touring t-shirts commercials I remember that they were in some commercials for a while they're like Super Bowl stuff so over the years just making paper but holy shit they were like number three I mean it was crazy to see speaking of that speaking of crazy to see Springsteen kicked his tour off this week and I'm obsessed with Springsteen always I haven't always loved him I didn't love him till goes to Tom Joad but I've seen him since then and I always go see him live and I just love Bruce so I'm fired up I know this is going to be the last tour there's no way this is a two-year tour it is intense these guys are in their 70s Bruce is in shape but are the other guys in shape do they fucking work out because when I looked at the schedule it's one on one off one on one off this is gnarly even for me at 57 years old I just did the Marcus King tour and it was like 33 34 dates or something I don't know how some of those guys are going to do it and I'm sure Max Weinberg's in shape and Jake who's the big man's nephew plays sax now he's young he's got it but Bruce is still doing an old school three-hour show he fucking played 28 songs on the opening night of the tour 28 songs the Stones do like 16 or 14 songs if you look at their set it used to be 25 then it was 21 then it was like 20 now they're around 14 songs and you know 28 songs and they're not three minute ditties Bruce's tunes are long this fucking guy I'm telling you man this could be dangerous for the health of these guys man I want them around and uh you know one on one off one on one for two years 25 to 28 songs go Bruce does not fuck around he has that mentality of like I'm gonna let you know I'm 24 years old still I'm gonna play I'm sliding on my knees I'm pumping the arm many times I'm jumping off drum risers I'm screaming I'm yelling I'm going for it it is intense to see Springsteen I saw him three four years ago whenever the last tour was I saw him on Broadway when you see him play with the East Street band this guy is like nitrous and I am fucking I I am if they pull this off the two years I will be fucking bowing to that endurance and that physical you know it's like NFL game man they're in there taking hits the volume is loud and the uh somebody told me one time somebody just told me recently uh they were watching Bruce play and he played like four hours you know he used to do some four-hour shows and shit no opener and uh they were getting ready to leave like all right good night and then he uh he said fuck it let's do one more and they said they saw Clarence just go motherfucker like Clarence was done he was done like I'm blowing I got lungs I'm blowing into this horn I'm fucking you know I'm done oh my god so I just can't even imagine a year from now they'll still be on tour and I'm gonna follow this like crazy I
