What the fuck are you saying Joey Diaz? I said that once you're clean for 29 days without smoking reefer that's it. Why go back? What? Yeah. I like it. No. If I fucking stayed clean from reefer for 29 days I'd go, I'd let my lungs fucking heal from the abuse I have inflicted on them the last 30 fucking years. What about edibles? What about spray? You ever did the jumbo spray? First of all I haven't had an edible since like I broke it in Boston September 29th so out of respect for sober October I didn't do an edible. I haven't done edibles, something was wrong with my stomach so I figured out I was lactoid tolerant. Lactose intolerant? Lactose intolerant. I fucking eat mozzarella cheese or milk and I'm farting up you know it's a nightmare so I had to cut that out of my diet no mozzarella cheese. I don't know the American cheese now, no Swiss no more, no Cuban sandwiches. Really? It's fucking crazy and then I had to cut out the edibles that give me a weird feeling. Like what? Like it had just gone somewhere else and I didn't like the hunger issues. Oh the munchies. The hunger issues after 11 o'clock were just monstrous like here I am working hard to lose weight I'd stick to it and then I'd go home I'd start with an apple, another apple, a banana, another banana then you got to bust out the salami sandwich with the fucking, you know it was just getting bad. I could not control it, could not, uncontrollable. The hunger from edibles every minute after 11 o'clock for me was uncontrollable. Well you get blitzkrieged you don't just get like a little fucked up. No and it starts early, it was starting early two in the afternoon then pop another two at fucking six. Do you like vaporizing? No. No, just smoking. If you're worried about your lungs you know. I take vapors at a hotel to get the party started in the morning. While I'm having coffee in my hotel room writing my notes for the thoughts of the day because I don't wake up with hunger. See that was my problem all those years I would need to one. If you want to be a fat fuck don't eat till one when you wake up because then you got to make up for it the rest of the day. So now I have to force myself to eat. What do you mean? Because a lot of you guys like the intermittent fasting. I can't live with that. What do you mean? My shit goes up and down, my blood pressure, my blood sugar. So I could never intermittent fast. But in the old days I'd be coked up and I'd wake up speedy still. So I wouldn't eat breakfast. But I'd start eating at one or two o'clock and would not stop till fucking two in the morning. You saw me. I started eating those pink dot sandwiches like they were none. Two meatball sandwiches at twelve o'clock because I wouldn't eat breakfast. I forced myself to eat for years. We were eating every six hours. You're supposed to eat a smaller portion. You know what I'm saying? Yeah that's what people were thinking. I got to eat breakfast. And I could eat two egg yolks, a piece of wheat toast and fruit and I'm good. Like for sober October I gave up bacon. I only eat two pieces of bacon. That's five points on Weight Watches. That's all I'm allowed. But at least I'm allowed two pieces of bacon. Two pieces of bacon is all you really need. That's all you need. You need any more two pieces of bacon. Let me tell you something. When I was four eighteen between you and I, my wife who's from the south would make the whole packet of Oscar Maya center cup bacon the whole pack every morning. That was my breakfast. You'd eat the whole packet? The whole package with three eggs, a half a loaf of Wonder Bread and butter and a sixteen ounce coke, the boot. A coke on top of it? Oh yeah I could drink two cokes for breakfast. Remember I grew up in the east coast and I caught a bad habit early on. After my mother died I caught, I wouldn't eat at home. I would leave and eat at the deli. I went under. Remember when fucking cream cheese and jelly on a roll was big? Oh yeah. You know what that does to your system? Cream cheese and jelly for breakfast? I used to open up with cream cheese and jelly on a poppy seed roll with a sixteen ounce coke for breakfast for years. And I was in shape. That's the thing. You know you can't, remember that. Nobody eats cream cheese and jelly for breakfast on a roll no more. Cream cheese and jelly. No because people know better now. In Jersey and those diners they got those bran muffins. You go in there you get those bran muffins. They put them on the grill with butter on them. Googly moogly. Those are good. Oh my goodness. You just chopped. Now I got a bran muffin with raisins in it. And they got no butter or nothing but they cut them in half on the east coast. Those east coast breakfasts were horrible. Now how long have you been doing this Weight Watchers thing now? Since December 9th. So almost a year. Yeah but I've been on the air. 11 months now? Yeah. 11 months ish. That's pretty good. 30 pounds. That's nice. That's a good weight over that amount of time because it's gradual. And the only week I miss my fitness goals I have to have 72 points of activity. And I only missed it one time. What's a point of activity? What do you get? So if I go to a movie tie at 9. I only really, it's an hour class but I only put 30 minutes down in a movie tie training. If we do circuit training with a ball or ropes and shit then I put whatever the amount. If it's 8 stations to 30 seconds a station. Do you wear a heart rate monitor or anything? No no no listen I don't want to hear. I want to see. You know what? When I had that fucking ear infection I used to have to work out with ear plugs on. And I'd get high and go through those sidekicks for Jesus. You don't know what life is. So when you had the ear infection the ear plugs kept your equilibrium in balance? No it would keep sweat from going in my ear. You don't know what life is when you're working out. You can hear your heart beat. But yeah boom boom boom. That's trippy shit. You know Everlast has a ticker. He's got an artificial valve and he puts the microphone up to his chest. You hear. No I don't want to hear that shit. Like 60 minutes? Like the beginning of 60 minutes? Exactly. Fuck you. It's trippy man. He's had it in there for what he say like 18 years I think? Yeah he had a heart attack a long ass time ago. Yeah. Yeah. Hit a bad valve. Yeah but if I was clean off weed for 29 days I might as well go for it for at least a year. Yeah let's wrap back around to that. Why? I enjoy marijuana. Just make a comeback just to see what would it be like. I'll tell you one thing that did happen last year when we did Sober October and I took a month off when I started back again I'd get nervous. Yeah. I'd get real nervous. Yeah. I'd get scared to do it and I'd go on stage. I'd feel real strange. Yeah none of us. Somebody once told me a great woman once told me that if you think getting high in life is weird where do you stop getting high and it's a different fucking adventure and she's true in a lot of aspects. I called you one October 2nd one night I got home from the comedy store. You know when you get home from the original room dog especially when you go it was one of those nights when I went in there and I was rockly bow bar I just touch gloves and I measured and I just started going to the body for 15 minutes. I remember driving up low okay and going what am I going to do with myself and I went home it was like October 2nd it was 11 30 and I started smoking reefer to calm down a little bit and I went down I started with Sign of the Times by Prince and I just left on autoplay and it just took me into a Prince fucking cave and I ended up on beautiful ones when he starts singing do you want him and I called you up I'm like this is why I can't do sober October because I get so high at night to come down off stage when you get off stage you need something and since I don't drink I'm scared to come up that hill drinking I have to smoke reefer to come down at night and music that's the only thing that calms me down at night.
