Joe Rogan Praises Andrew Dice Clay

I want you just to fucking hold nothing back. And then I went up after him. You know how I did? Fine. Didn't do good. Didn't do bad. Did fine because I knew how to handle myself, my professionalism, the craft of what I know won out. But there's no following that with what I do, which is totally different, and having the audience go, oh, this takes it to a whole new place. No. Did you ever listen to the day the laughter died? Rick Rubin's album with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking phenomenal. Yeah, great album. And it's just eating shit for two hours. Two hours, I know. He showed up at Danger Fields for people who don't know. Literally I will never forget, I was just starting out. I think he did this, look this up when that was. I want to say it was like 1989, 1990. No, it was after that. It was fairly early. It was fairly early because I was very young in my career. Oh no, it might have been then. Because I was still living in Boston. No, no, it might have been then because. 89. 89, yeah, because I was thinking about me living here now, but it came out the first time I lived here. Well, I was living in Boston and I was just starting out and there was a great comedian named Mike Dunavon, who to this day is one of the funniest guys I've ever seen in my life. And Mike Dunavon was laughing to the point where he couldn't breathe at DICE doing this set while he was doing fucking stadiums. I mean, DICE was doing enormous Nassau Coliseum. What's in the bowl, bitch? Oh, 20,000 people. Yeah, he was the biggest comedian of all time. And he just decides to show up at Dangerfield in New York City randomly. Like on Monday and Tuesday night, doesn't tell anybody he's going to be there. I mean, there's 13, 20 people in the crowd. He records two different sets and he has no material. I mean, fucking none. He's making things up as he goes along and people are getting angry at him and they're walking out. And he did a bit about Richard Nixon, about how he eats ass. And when he eats ass, he does it like Richard Nixon. He was like, Oh, I love this fat fucking ass. He was doing this Richard Nixon impression of eating ass. And for whatever reason, Mike Dunavon thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen in his life. He was wheezing, like couldn't breathe, talking about DICE doing this impression. And I was like, wow. This is like comedy for comedians. But for the people that were in the audience, like a guy got up and goes, you're about as funny as a glass of milk. The guy said that to him and then left. Those are the best things on the album. These people from like Kansas get a you're about as funny as a glass of milk and walking off and dice shit on them. But to have the mindset to be at the not just the top of his game, but literally the top of stand up ever. No one before him had ever sold out Madison Square Garden multiple nights in a row the way he did. I mean, guys have done it since then. You know, Dane and Louie and this been a bunch of guys who Aziz, but no one did it like he did then. He was the first ever to do that and do that. And then to record these fucking awful sets and then put it out. We're gonna fucking put it out. I guarantee that was Rick Rubin's idea. You think so? Without a doubt. But you know, dice is like that. I know dice and I know Rick Rubin. I bet it was both of their ideas. Maybe he didn't fight Rick Rubin. I'll have to ask Rick Rubin next time I see him. Yeah, I never asked him that. But that sounds to me like Rick Rubin going, let's do this. Interesting. Yeah, but it was such a crazy bold move. I remember thinking at the time because I was terrible in 1989 when it came out. I was just like confused. Like, how does one do that? Like one is so confident that they released something that sucked. Because I had as I was when I was 19, it's me and my girlfriend Marta. Me and Marta were sitting in my car and I had a cassette player and we're listening to dice. It was just called dice. And crying laughing, crying laughing. It was before I'd ever done stand up. And I remember thinking, wow, this guy is fucking something. The amount of power that he had on stage and these roars from the crowd. We're sitting in my car laughing our asses off to this cassette. It wasn't even CD. That couple years later he decides, I'm just going to put out something that sucks. The day the comedy died. The day the laughter died. He's got one of them fucking paper boy hats on on the cover. It's a black. Black white. Black white. And there's a little picture of him on there. Is that what it is? Yeah, a small picture, I think. Or maybe it's a big picture of him. There it is right there. I don't remember. Oh, it's a big picture. We should get a, oh yeah. So, but it is small in comparison to the actual CD. Yeah. See if we can get, Jamie, let's get a framed copy of that and put it on the wall somewhere. Was it released as an album? Like on? I don't know. I guarantee there's vinyl. Guaranteed. Yeah. See if we could buy it in vinyl. Look on eBay right now. Yeah. For the day that. They didn't get it. He didn't get it. He did it three years later. Really? He did the same thing? He did the same thing. It's a part two, yeah. I've seen him do that at the store. I've seen him go up late night at the store. I'm like, look at you. Look at you over there. And just start talking shit to people. Like mean dice is my favorite. Why does he wear weightlifting gloves whenever he's anywhere? He's only touching people's hands. Is that what it is? Yeah. And Big J Ochresen wears weightlifting gloves in homage. To dice? Yeah. That's hilarious. I didn't know that. That's great. Yeah. I was trying to get the two of them together on a podcast, but scheduling wise it never really worked out. You're not shaking that dice's hand. Different photo on the vinyl. Oh. It's available for 400 bucks on Amazon. Oh, buy that shit. No, no. Buy that shit. We're going to frame it. 400 bucks. I'll go to dice. He might not have it. Yeah. I guarantee he's got it. Hey. Yeah. You pay for lunch. I'll give you the album. You ever go to dice's Instagram? No. It's hilarious. It's just so random. It's like an older, rich, famous guy who does whatever the fuck he wants. I'm supposed to have had coffee or lunch with him a million times. I never have. It's one of those things. Yeah. Well, no, it just never happened. Right. Yeah. Yeah. His Instagram is him with a gold gym t-shirt on with crazy sunglasses, and he'll do like these little sketches. But they're so random and weird, like him talking to a girl like, maybe we should do something later. And the girl's like, okay, like click on this. Play this. This is like his, this is his whole thing. You like skateboarding? I was thinking about it. Yeah, we should do that. It's going to be a good time. Can you cook dinner for me? What are you staying under this one? I don't know how to use the phone. What's your name? I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. What? Nicole? Nicole. All right. I'll call you. I got to go take care of something. All right. Oh, it's the end of it afterwards. He goes, he's got another one, a follow up where he gets mad at himself for not doing anything about it. Like go to the next video. That's not it. There's another there. Play this one. What a beautiful night, huh? Beautiful. Beautiful. That's it. It's Eleanor. What a beautiful night, huh? That's what you're just a comedian, right? It's so random, Eleanor Carrigan. Yeah. Yeah. They're so random. The videos are so, I guess the text in that video was like, I should have done something what's wrong with me. Yeah. It's, but this is him. Why did I leave? I'm so dumb. But they're so random. It's like, what is he doing? He's just... He's being dice. He used to do that at the store. He used to have comics do these little sketches. He was like, okay, you're going to run through the door there and you're going to knock him over and you're going to go, what the fuck? Okay, go. And the guy would do it and he'd run into the door and knock the other guy over and he'd go, what the fuck? Yo, perfect. Do it again. And he would just film this with like VHS tape, you know, like an old school one. Oh, really? And then he would edit it together himself, but he did nothing with it. And this was like, DICE was giant. Just fucking top of the world giant. And this is what he's doing to amuse himself. But I love the fact that the comics would just do it. Oh, Jesus Christ. You're just so happy DICE is talking to you. He's the reason why I started doing the road. I would just do the store all the time. I was constantly at the store. One time we're in the bag goes, hey, you're funny. You know, you should do the road. I go, yeah. He goes, hey. He goes, you don't want to rely on these fucking assholes for money. He goes, you can fucking do whatever you want. Go do the road. I was like, yeah, why don't I do the road? Because I was just doing TV shows. And then, you know, do you do on TV shows, you're kind of trapped in this. This is how you make your living. You got to kind of always be acting and always be going on auditions. I was like, yeah, I was because I wasn't making you don't make real money at the store. You make like 15 bucks a set or whatever you make, you know, I've spent.
