Joey Diaz on Getting High and Listening to Music | Joe Rogan

Because I like that feeling at night when I listen to music. I'm a big music... Like, when did I call you? Like, it was like October 3rd. And I was gonna call you to tell you that I love to participate in Soba October. But because of my love for music, it's not gonna happen. Because my thing is to go home at night or sometimes I go to the office. Like, I told you, my house is dead at 20 to 9. The kid goes to bed at fucking 8.30 and my wife's in bed 10 minutes later. So sometimes I don't have a spot on a podcast. I just go to my office. I bring a notebook on an iPad and I get stoned. And I put an old album on and I go down an album road and I just get fucked up. And I listen to that music. I love it, Joe Roke. That's my hobby. And once a week I go to the album store and I buy a new album, a new vinyl album. Lately, I went down that Led Zeppelin 2 Road. That's one of the greatest, dirtiest, filthiest albums. And it opens up with a whole lot of love. It's just dirty. And then a lemon song. And then a heartbreaker. It's just dirty. And then I've been listening to fucking physical graffiti. I love going into those foxholes laying at night stoned to the gills. Yeah, there's something about that music. They were the first drug culture music in America, right? If you think about it, like Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. The Beatles showed up clean. And they went to India, they grew long hand, they came back with those four albums. Then there was Rumors of Acid. If you listen to the, you know, one, I think it's Revolve, one of those. John Lennon spreads acid, but move on. Then that was it. I mean, there's a lot of musicians from that era that are great that aren't associated with drugs. If you think of Hendrix, if you think of, I mean, Hendrix was always associated with drugs, right? Janice Joplin always associated with drugs. You know, good or bad. It's very interesting. It's very interesting. The sound is so, it lasts. Like it's so relevant. If you listen to some Zeppelin today, it's still so goddamn good. They were so good. So good. They were so good. This song on Zeppelin 2 called Bring It On Home at the End, he comes out like with a harmonica slow, then Jimmy Page kicks in with the guitar. Your heart stops. Yeah. Like your heart stops. Like, do I jump out a window? Like Led Zeppelin 2, there's a couple albums I got in that office that I put on that are such a part of my childhood. Like I think about my mom coming in the room yelling, lower that fucking devil music. You know what I'm saying? I'm buying some music, I'm going on it. And I would blast it at fucking six in the morning. The neighbors next door were Jehovah Witnesses. And he would knock on my door, you have to please lower your music. I never lowered it. At that age, I had a vicious stereo. Okay. And I already knew not to get components. Like I was already hip. Like I never bought the album with the A-track and the cassette. Fuck you. I bought an amp and I bought a cassette deck and I had a turntable. And I would fucking blast it. I don't know where I got the speakers from. I bought them. They fell off a truck. I love music loud. I store them every time. Till this day, every time Led Zeppelin's final album comes out, you know, in through the outdoor comes on the radio or something, I think of my mother banging on the door for freshman year going. If I got a knock on this door one more time, I'm throwing that stereo out the window. Like seven in the morning, I had a full fucking speed. Rolling the joint, getting ready to walk up the hill, smoking the joint. I wouldn't smoke at the house, nothing like that. She had no idea. Were you playing album albums with a record player? Yeah. Fuck. I still do it. Did you have a good needle? Did you have a good needle? Remember you would go over dudes' houses and they had a special needle? I had a good needle. I just went and got new needles. I had to order them online. Do you remember that though? Fuck yeah. Are you impressed if a guy had like a fucking cool looking needle? I still had a friend that had a reel to reel. Jimmy, do you actually remember this? I had a record player at my house for sure. Wow. You had a reel to reel? A friend of mine had a reel to reel in high school. Oh my God. And the sound. He bought the speakers and everything. The sound, you could hear like the musician pulling away from the microphone. Like his sound was that good. So when he's playing this reel to reel, he's got like a projector screen type deal? No. He put the sound here? He had a room like this and he had a shelf and on the shelf he had speakers and he had a reel to reel. I think I've seen that forever. And it would have two or three hours of music on it. So whenever he would have a party, he would just put on the reel to reel. At that time, that was the threat. That it's going to reel to reel. That's what it looks like. That's what it looks like. A projector, right? It's going to reel to reel. That's the new threat. That's crazy. That never made it. It went from albums to cassettes to fucking CDs. So if you put something through that, you would have to kind of like do it like you're working in a projection room. You take the film from one of them. It works almost the same. It's just really large cassette tape player. I just forget how he put the music on there. I forget how he put the music on there. Could you buy music on it? I think so. There's a record button on this too, it looks like. So you could have recorded something on there if you had a cable to plug it in.
