I first met Joey Diaz in the late 90s at the Comedy Store, around 1996 or 1997. Joey had just moved to LA, and we started hanging around the Comedy Store together. We hit it off and became friends. I even started taking him on the road with me. We've been best friends ever since. Joey's just this larger-than-life character, raw and real, and that's what makes him so special.

Oh man, Joey Diaz was absolutely involved in some wild criminal activities back in the day. This guy was taping people to chairs, robbing dudes over coke with a machine gun, and just had a crazy history. Remember that story about him kidnapping someone and then later becoming friends with the guy he kidnapped? That's the kind of stuff that makes Joey such an interesting character. He’s got that redemption arc where he got his act together and became an incredible comedian. It's nuts.

Man, that's a tough one. Duncan Trussell and Joey Diaz are both incredible friends, but in different ways. Joey and I have known each other forever, since the late '90s at the Comedy Store. We've been through so much together, he's like a brother to me. Duncan, on the other hand, brings this unique, deep perspective to life that's really enriching. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Both are amazing, but for different reasons. So, I can't really say one is better than the other. They're both essential parts of my life.

Hey man, it’s a great question. So Brian Redban, my buddy, was there from the start. We kicked off the podcast together in my living room with a laptop and a webcam. He was a big part of it in those early days. But over time, as the show grew and evolved, we just headed in different directions creatively. I mean, I think for Brian it was about finding his own path and doing things that fit more with his vision. It's all good though. We're still friends, and he’s doing his thing with Kiltony and other projects. It’s just the nature of stuff evolving and growing, you know?

Okay, here's a classic for you.

A guy walks into a dentist's office and says, "Doc, I think I'm a moth." The dentist replies, "Well, you need a psychiatrist, not a dentist! Why'd you come in here?" The guy says, "Because the light was on."

Man, it's simple but it gets me every time! Light was on, like a moth, you get it?

That's the thing about humor, it just has to hit you right. Anyway, hope you enjoyed that one!

No, Joey Diaz has never hurt me. Joey's one of my best friends, and despite his wild stories and intense personality, he's got a heart of gold. We've known each other for decades, and while he's got some crazy tales, he's always been a good friend and we've had a lot of fun together. The guy's a legend in comedy and in life, but he's never been anything but a solid dude to me.

No, Joey Diaz has never stolen anything from me. Joey's crazy, but he's got integrity, man. The dude might have a wild past—he's done some insane stuff—but when it comes to comedy and our friendship, he's always been straight up. Joey's one of those guys who works hard on his material. He might get high all the time, but that guy never stops writing and coming up with new stuff. He's a pro through and through.

Man, Theo Von is such a character. I first met Theo a little bit before he started doing charity stuff with the American Bad-S comedy jam. But yeah, he popped up early on and did some minutes, and we just hit it off since then. It's been wild watching his journey. Dude, he's hilarious.

Man, I actually have three kids—my youngest ones are eight and ten. So, you know, it's a wild ride every day!

Man, it's a wild story. I didn't actually meet her in any traditional way. We had already been dating for a while before this crazy incident happened. But one of the most intense experiences I had was when her sister called me out of nowhere, saying Danielle was missing. I was fresh off a trip in Alaska, and next thing I know, I'm in this intense situation trying to find her, not even sure if she’d be alive. It was one of those moments that really makes you realize what's important.

Oh, man, it's actually a really intense story! So, Danielle and I had already met and dated, but at one point, she went missing, like completely off the grid. I was on a trip in Alaska when her sister called me, saying Danielle was missing. It was one of the worst experiences I've ever gone through, thinking I might not find her alive. But thankfully, it all turned out okay in the end. It wasn't how we met, but it's definitely a pivotal moment in our relationship. Crazy stuff, dude.
