Joe Rogan - Joey Diaz on Going Through Tough Times

The point of that fucking story I told you of being on top of that hill at 17 and being homeless Mm-hmm is because I had a lot of chances to ice myself, Joe And why not has chances to ice myself to get out of fucking prison and They're gonna get not on bail when I got out on bail. I had a lot of fucking doubts my friend Then you're getting out of bail and knowing you're gonna look at 48 fucking years and you're a fucking loser as it is Think of all those opportunities. I used to break into a friend's house to sleep in this house at night I slept in a rocket ship For a month outside of the park you go to a park and see those rocket ships and your kids play on them I still remember going up to the third floor of the rocket ship finishing off my coke and jerking off On the third floor at 5 in the morning outside in a fucking park with leaves around me and shit It was a lot of times I had It's amazing you have no fucking idea I would go up to the third floor with a bottle of fucking schmearin or silver vodka a Bag a hooded sweatshirt gloves with a missing finger So I could fucking touch the rock and put them in my nose and shit You know, no, no, no, that's all funny. That's all funny on the way up the stairs and shit but when you're when you come down and you're in that rocket ship, it's five in the morning and it's 20 fucking two below zero, oh And you're thinking to yourself fucking God took away my mother God did this This is all God's fault because this is the same God that I was raised to believe that was gonna help me It's doing all this a lot of times. I wanted to fucking do a swan dive But I didn't You know, it's so fucking weird. I was in those positions for a long time Yeah, now I gotta look at you and go Jesus Christ look at like turn his no No Tina Turner's son killed himself yesterday. It was an Ike's son though. I thought it was Ike's son with it You know this trend the fucking people icing themselves that scares me that concerns me. Is this something we're eating This is something that we're getting weak on, you know There was no blue drugs and Bourdain system so we can't blame fucking prescription drugs. No, he was on one medication some sort of medication And it was something that was prescribed for him. Someone told me that it was malaria medication I don't know probably they've released that but I'm sure he had to take some of that stuff sometimes But you know, you don't know what it was that did him in what does according to some people? He really wasn't doing well, you know, I don't I don't know I need to I mean it's almost Unnecessary to get for me to get the full story. I miss the guy. He's gone. That's it You know, I mean, I don't need to I think When whenever someone does something like that, whatever it is If there's one thing that people could point to and say hey, there's a chemical that's responsible for this or there's a Gene problems responsible for this or there's like how could someone who's loved so much? Want to step out? I mean that must be a terrible moment of pain I had them you know the computer listen to music on YouTube. Mm-hmm Right and it just keeps playing songs and you know, you don't have no control I think I I started with Leonard skin at a simple man Right kept going on the one it's gonna trip and I went I came back and at one point blow up the outside world Oh and I'm sitting there and he says that line about Going out or something Joe Rogan my lip Started shaking like I'm like, I don't even know this guy and I miss him No, this guy you want me to look you people tell you I know I met Chris. I don't know No, I don't know. I'd never I saw him one time at the comedy store six feet away from me Chris Cornell That's it and I started crying Like how could something like this go in a room and just ice themselves? Is this what I'm gonna do because I'm in this fucking entertainment field because what what happens? And then I think about all these times one time I broke into my friend's house and I broke in the window and it was freezing So I couldn't even sleep in that room out of sleep in the hallway And there was a mattress on the wall that had like pisteins from all the kids and I pulled it down I slept on it and when I woke up he had a dog and it was too cold He just let the dog shit downstairs And there was like 20 pieces of little rolled up shit that had been you know, like when the juice goes out of them They just roll up. What's those things that uses it? I'm Oregon over those accordions Accordions it was like a piece of shit shrinks like an accordion when the moisture goes out of it It really does. So if you take a shit that's this big right and you put it in a box come back a week later It's like this big. How do I know that because I did it to a guy in prison I took a shit in the welfare box one time You know, no, no, the boxes of cheese where the cheese comes in American cheese Yes, this dude had a long hair and would always try to play me like he was with the biker dudes Box farm but he played he were he lived in the key worked in the kitchen He forgot I ran the kitchen and it was all me and black dudes So when they got one of the welfare cheese boxes and I took like a 22 24 inch it looked like a lizard It was just a long like, you know fit at the end like one of those things that a bird like a snail That's what it looks like a long brown snap And I fit it perfectly into this cheese box and I took a flag of American flag like from the cheese and I put it on And I put it in this drawer Every night and he had the first bunk on the way out So everybody had a walk and all the black guys would open the door and go goddamn It smells like shit in this motherfucker and he kept saying I know it does I don't know why it smells like shit in here and after like a month when they won this draw Everybody kept saying man. It smells like shit in here. He went in this drawer opened it up and he found this box He opened it up and I never forget him knocking on my bunk going I'm gonna find out who did this to me like what they do to you And he goes look at this like what is it? I knew we shit But it had shrunken down from the 24 inches To like six little inches. It just shrunk down when all the moisture goes out. It just shrunk down like a fucking I don't even know why I'm telling you that story. It's hilarious story. It's fucking crazy. It's a hilarious story
