Joe Coy He's right here. I've found it, Yes, slithering
around the hallway. Yes, of course, Joe's everywhere tonight out
at Crudential Center in Newark. That's a great place. That's
a cue. You play some really fantastic hauls and I
love it. Like I was saying, Radio City, I would
love to play Radio City. He's like, nah, that radio
(00:26):
seat is great.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But I played it. I played it twice. Yeah, But
then you said the Garden is where we all want
to The Garden the mecca. Okay, that's the mecca. What
is it that makes it to mecca for? You can
feel it, you can feel the energy when you walk in.
There's just like this nostalgia when you walk in. The
look from the outside, the way it just sits inside.
The city just looks like you need to be here.
You know what. I used to play carolines. I used
(00:48):
to always walk by the garden and they used to go, oh,
do you want tickets to the Knicks or do you
want tickets? They would always offer me tickets and as
I always turned them down because I said, the only
time I'm going in the garden is if I'm opening
for somebody or fine, you know, headlining, right, And I
waited and I waited a long time. I read a
long like eighteen years and I finally did it. By
(01:10):
the way, the most expensive arena you can possibly play
is the MSG y.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well we remember we have our jingle ball there.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Right every year? Oh, you guys get a deal with MSG.
They tell the artist I don't get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Don they tell the artists we have to do that?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You do? Are you? We don't get a deal. So
there's bs right now, there is you do get a deal,
you guys. There's no way to know. You guys are
paying outright. I believe we get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They have told the artists before. We have to be
done with the show at this time, yes, or we
pay a big fund. Are we getting a deal if
we have to pay a.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Fine on the on the rental of the Hey, Joe,
you're not going to sit here and tell me you
don't get a deal about something that it does. You
can't take credit for. Maybe I know why it sets
on fire all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'm gonna say something, I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna
say something here and you're gonna die. I've never said
this to anyone in my life. Okay, we played the
Garden more than you play the Garden. I'm telling you
right now, I know you do.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't think you can deal.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'm gonna throw you. So tonight you're at a Prudential
Center and we uh.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
The Devil's play, by the way that I know, my devil.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
By the way. When you're when you're a performer, like
ice skating rinks, or even though they cover it up
or if they turn it off, whatever it is, you
feel it. You feel it, feel the ice. It goes
right into your I should pause when I say this,
but it goes right into your throat. Really, go on,
my God. I mean, I'll stop right there, but this
is where I start. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So, anyway, we have a commercial just playing on our show.
Play it in a second because there's a couple of
things in the commercial I want to talk about. Well,
it's right, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Anyway. Is it you plugging the Garden?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No, no, no, no, no, it's about tonight's show about at
Crudential Center. So I said, to God, is it goney,
are there any seats available tonight? Because we're playing the commercial.
Maybe we're just charging them for commercial and they don't
need it. And you looked it up and you said
to me.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Your prices are way too reasonable. Yeah, you need to
make really much high.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But what expensive when you play the garden?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah? I was like, man, I'm getting last second tickets.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
This is going to be crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, Okay, by the way I do that, I've done
that my whole career. You make that decision, yeah, I'm
wi Yeah, I make I'm I. I rent the room,
that's me, everything's me. Wow. Whatever you rent an arena,
that's that's that's not someone hiring me.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well that's the thing about wants his fans to come
see him, and you know he doesn't want them to
feel like they've been ripped off, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Like, you know, I have my platinums, which are crazy, right,
you know what I mean. But we also have to
do that to to combat the scalpers. I mean, so
you have to make it hard for them to like
buy your ticket, Like I hate doing it, but you
literally have to do it because if you keep it
a certain price point, then boom, they'll buy everything. I know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
But you know what funny is funny right to back
in twenty twenty three, it broke records. You were Yeah,
obviously you were ripping the fans off back then. You've
decided to bring it back.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I didn't rip anyone.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He doesn't get any.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Deals, so fans, okay, all right, it's all like Joe Hey,
just coming from the guy that's talking into a gold
plated microphone to match his gold plated jacket. Oh well,
this guy, I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Just Toy is here and of course, just being coy,
tour tickets are on sale. You've got how many more
nights beyond tonight? I mean, do you have left on
the tour? It just started. I started last week. Oh
my god, so you gotta yeah, so having and how
many of the tour?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
How many? How many nights? I don't know, it's a lot,
that's a lot. Yeah, it's usually like four shows a weekend,
three to four. Yeah. Last week was crazy because that
was the beginning of this tour. And then that was
that was nuts because it was where the where the
Rockets play, and then we went to where the Spurs play,
and then we went off to this small town in Texas.
(05:21):
But they had an arena, right, and we sold that
out and that was that was like crazy to do
something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, of course on Netflix, your Brooklyn Show. Yes, that
was several months ago, and I loved it. What an
incredible what we're looking at? H I read it's the
reflection of the light hitting the gold microphone. And I
tried to look into your eyes, but I was blinded,
so it actually hurts your teeth. Just just talk to
(05:48):
me and don't try to figure out why people are
closing their eyes when they talked to you. So, Joe,
You're life from Brooklyn Show on Netflix, one of my favorites.
They're all great, But the thing is, all all that
stuff you did on that show, it's done.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You can't do that anymore, right, So, now that was
an expensive special. That was the most expensive one out
of all the especials I did. Expensive was very expensive.
Renting out King's Theater was so expensive. I built out
my stage, so I I wanted to I wanted to
show the King's Theater how beautiful it was. It's one
(06:24):
hundred years old. It's like a historic landmark. And you
guys have it. You guys preserved it. It's gorgeous. They
don't have theaters like that anymore. They blow them up,
and you guys kept it. And uh so I put
my stage on the front and uh and I lit
up the room so you can see it in every shot.
It looks it's incredible. And then instead of a backdrop
of like my name or something, I put a brick wall.
(06:45):
I built that brick wall behind me. Usually they'd cover,
usually try to cover up. Brick built it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
do with that one.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Uh you throw it away, okay, yeah, yeah, but mine
was made out of chocolate. Okay, Snowsberry's Well, I know,
but but those jokes are done, I mean, that material,
those stories are done, by the way. Those songs that
I did in there, right, are they done. There's the
most expensive songs ever. I wasn't even gonna do those songs.
(07:15):
It was just I was in the moment and I
just did it. And then uh and and right when
I walked back, I looked at the producers. I like,
I know it's gonna be a lot. So are you
talking about the mumble rap stuff? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Right, Richard, rest in peace, rich he just but okay,
let me play the commercial because you kind of started off.
Do you hear the commercials we run for you?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yes, because there's no freaking clue.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I said, I didn't get a discount on MSG here, okay,
here's how you are represented.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But you actually start this conversation kill coy just being
coy tour and that's really have to become My dad.
My dad was like, oh, you listen to that hippidie hoppity.
And now I'm sounded like my dad because I'm like,
you're listening to that mumblet mumble you're listening to that mumblet.
I don't even say word set twenty, it's crudential seven.
(08:16):
It was. That's such a true story. By the way,
my son hated my rap when he was dad. Oh,
he hated it. He didn't understand it. He thought it
was stupid. And all he listened to was you know
that I don't want to plug him, but rest in peace,
rich home he passed away, So like, yeah, he he
passed and but dude, I didn't get it, and I
(08:38):
started feeling old like I started when I took home.
You know, uh, run DMC and and and Beastie Boys
and all that deaf jam stuff. My dad was doing
that to me. Oh hippie huppy, you know, like that
hippidi hoppity. This is music. And it's like it's like
Aerol Smith and I'm like, yeah, that's run DMC. Dad,
(09:00):
are you say that? How dare you say that? And
now I've turned into that and but I'm glad I did.
I'm glad I did it because uh that that that
that joke went viral. It costs a lot of money.
I was not gonna do it. Cast so much money.
I'm getting rights for things. Yeah, the licensings on that
was so expensive and every second was just so much money.
(09:21):
And I'm worth every penny though, right, Yeah, Look, the
biggest state reached out. They gave me, you know everything,
like they're they're doing collabo shirts with me, and it's
like it's kind of cool. Uh uh you know missus
Wallace you know, saw it and and like it's so
cool man, and yeah, big shout out to to the
big East state. And now we're doing this collabo shirt
(09:41):
and I'm gonna I'm gonna give proceeds to uh, you know,
to the to the Wallace Foundation.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It all started with not to trivialize it. It all started
with a joke, right store, and now look how big.
It's just Avalanche, never ever expecting you to do this.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But I was being true to myself though, you know
what I mean, Like I wasn't doing it, like I
really didn't want to do it. That's when even my
DJA in the back, he didn't even know what to
do when I said that. I was even like pausing
in between my setup too, because I knew he wasn't
prepared for it, right, And then I was play it
and he had it cued up. That was It was, man,
That was That was a moment that I'll always treasure
(10:16):
because it really was. It was not supposed to happen,
but it did, and that's all that mattered. But my
point is this, you've used that material. Now you're out
on a new tour. We need new material for Joe.
So if you want to text him some jokes, some
stories to talk about other people's families, I'll I'll just
talk about mine. I'll just let my son do all
(10:38):
the work and I have to ever call it jokes,
their stories and your son your I love it when
you talk about your son. I love it too, because
I don't know, even though I'm a little sad now
he's twenty one. Well, I know, but you still talk
in his voice as if he's fourteen years old. Oh
dead God, Yeah, he still kind of does that.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You never want that to leave him. Yeah, Like he
loves to do this too. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
He loves to say that. I don't get it, but
he probably doesn't. All right, that's dumb. You know.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's cringe. My my, that's cringe.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Don't do it. God, Oh gosh, Dad, you're being sus God, God,
what you're loving it? No, I do. I love it.
I love him being on the road with me, you
know what I mean. There was a lot of sacrifices
that I took, you know, and I get sad when
I think about it sometimes, and uh, you know, I
missed a lot of birthdays. I remember crying, you know,
(11:28):
when I was on the road sometime. And but now
it's like, Okay, this is why I did it. He
gets to live his his best, best life. You're a
good dad. I sacrificed a lot, Yeah I did, I
really did. We've never met your son, but I know
he was a good guy.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You love him because the way you speak about him
is he speaks for all years about what come dad,
you are?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He's an amazing kid, He's an amazing man. He's he's he's
so cool. Does I know you said he did often?
I don't get it. Does he get it now? Does
he use does he use? Hey, my dad's Joe coid
ever flexes? Oh he loves it. Yeah, yeah, he loves it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But he probably loves it when it's convenient to him.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, no, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. He won't
take a picture with me, he won't post things, you
know what I mean. And he's so sweet to his mommy,
so I love that too. And he's sweet to his
aunt like. I love how caring is about them as well,
like he always thinks to them. I love that he
(12:20):
understands the importance of family. Yeah, he really does. I
love that. Look, you know obviously you got there from
you because you saw you talk about is your family
in glowing terms and sometimes fun and yeah, funny terms.
But look at this joke. My mom and dad was divorced, right,
and like when I was like nine ten, right, so
we kind of had it rough when when Jem and
I were kids and then uh. And I even told
(12:41):
Jema this. I was like, you know, when if when
I divorced Angie, I said, I will never do what
they did. You know what I mean, We're going to
be the opposite of that. I even told Angree, you
don't need a lawyer. I got you like and I
was right at norse Fromac. I was like shelving shoes
at the time. I go, whatever happens in my career,
I got you, don't worry about it. And I've been
like that. We've been best for as ever since I
bought her a house in front of my house. She
(13:02):
lives right next to them.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'll wake up and she's drinking coffee in my living room.
That's my sister. I'm not even making this up. When
I go on family vacations, Angie's right next to us,
like I want us to be, like even though we
weren't married, we're still like best friends. We got this
great son together, and we do things together, like if
I'm going to take my son to London, I'm taking
his mommy. We're going to share this together, like all
three of us are going to go. You know, I
(13:24):
love hearing about you. Why I love hearing this from you,
Joe koy Is. You know, there are a lot of
artists like you who are on there. We're talking about
the family, talking about and that's their material. And it's
funny when you know that it's all from a place
of love, and sometimes you can riab each other a
little bit because that's part of the family. I think
that makes a difference with your with your fans and
with me. I'm a fan too.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Hey, you're you're like rolling through your third decread a decade,
deck craz It's your third decade.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Of doing this for a living.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
How has the art of if you want to call
it comedy, the art of being a comic of how
has that changed? Can you look back at those first
early lean years and compare them to today.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I love still what I did in the past, and
I keep telling the young cats that are coming up now, like,
tangible things are always going to be the best way
of marketing yourself. Describe that tangible things. So when I
was coming up, and this is why Angie so like
my ex well, I used to burn DVDs because I
didn't have a DVD yet, so I would burn them.
(14:26):
I would go to like this, this electronics store was
called Fries. I don't know if they have it here,
but I would buy a stack of DVDs, the blank ones.
It was one hundred dollars for one hundred, so it's
a dollar disc right. I'd buy like three of those
a week. So every weekend I would go out, I
would burn these DVDs and I made myself right, and
then I would put I get a jewel case, and
I took a picture of my son that was crying,
and I would slip that in the jewel case. We
(14:48):
call that artwork. Yeah, yeah, to this day, it's it's
still my logo. It's my son crying to this day.
And literally we burned those DVDs and if I could,
I would sell it for like five bucks a pop,
you know what I mean. It's like it's one hundred
dollars for a stag. You sell them for five hundred
and make four hundred for the weekend, right, right. But
then I wouldn't sell that many, right, I'd sell like
maybe twenty of them on the weekend, and I would
(15:09):
just hand them out for free. I'd just hand them
out as much as I can, like candy during the Halloween.
I'd just keep handing out.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Every time I did a show, I'd have a thousand,
ask Gema. We'd print, Oh, there's my that's the logo
right there, and ask Gema.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I would print.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I would print ten thousand flyers and I still do
it to this day, and I would hand them out
right Gema, Like, right now, I got Brooklyn my Brooklyn
Special on Netflix. I have how many, probably like twenty
thousand flyers, and I will hand them out.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't care. It's like you get it into their
hands and you let them know about your product. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We're talking twenty infested in it, So let them know
about don't just sit there and wait for it to
happen twenty something years ago, right thirty? Okay, Hey, So
if you have one of Jocoy's original burned home burned VCDs,
text me at fifty five to one hundred.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
It's the coolest thing when you walk up to me
and they still have it. Oh yeah, wow, Yeah, I
got people walking up to me fly I was in
China Square one time and uh this the cop on
you know, the bicycle cop walked up to me. He
was He's like, hold on, let me show you something
he pulled out his wallet and it was my card.
He kept it in his wallet and he goes, look
at this man. He goes, I alway knew you were
going to do something. Look at that because you love
(16:17):
the car too. It was a cool card.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'm not gonna lie can Street before Canal.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, but I think I tell every comment that's coming up.
It's like, bro, like, go out and get it. Like
when I didn't get my first special, I went and
got it. Like Netflix didn't give me that special, I
went and made it myself. After they said no, I
went and paid for it. Oh wow, yeah, let him know, Like,
is that how it works if you want your own special? No,
that's not how it worked, because they even told me
(16:44):
the day I was taping it. They were like, hey,
we know you're taping it, but we want you to
know we really don't want it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
At that point, what can you do? Already? But I
love Netflix and that's a business decision that has nothing
to do with me personally. It's just that was a
business decision decision that they made, and I had to
be okay with that, you know what I mean. And
I had to be like all right, that's the decision
you made, but let me show you why it's the
wrong decision. And I went and paid for I paid
for all that, like everything, director, producer, you stood behind cameras, everything.
(17:14):
But do you ever hold grudges like well, well, well
damn it. No, not at all. But I did want
to let people know that, you know, because there's people
that are always like, oh, he blew up because of
that special Netflix game, and I'm like, pump the brakes,
Hobie before you're making a little assumptions. That's not what happened.
That's what's happening with you. But that's what I happened
with me. I went and paid for that. No. I
(17:39):
remember I had two shots at that thing. And I
remember the first taping we had technical difficulty with the jib,
and I remember saying to myself, man, I got all
this money invested in and and we're not gonna be
able to use that first taping. And it was the
second taping that we went in on. You got them,
got it? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Can I tell you something from a fan's point of view.
I remember the night and I sat down and watched
jokoy live from Brooklyn, right, So it was a day.
We had a great day at doing whatever, and I said,
what are we doing? Where are we going tonight for dinner? Restauring,
He said, let's just stay in Okay, what do you
want to do. Let's watch a movie.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So we got we.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Started flipping around. So there and I said, wait a minute,
Life from Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It's out. It's been out a few days now. This
is back in JUNI or July whatever, so I remember.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
We we we got big bottle wine. We sat down,
we dimmed the lights. We had the dogs with us,
they'd already eaten and you know, Pete outside and they're
ready to like hang out. We just sat there and
just got into it. We didn't talk during it. We
would laugh, We just relaxed. It was just an event
for us, even as simple as it was in our
(18:41):
own TV room watching you. That's how great these nights
are when you release these specials on Netflix. Thank god
you invested in that one specials to go because it
gives us a chance just to sit back and let
someone else do the work for us and just watching
you tell your stories, watching you brilliant brilliantly get that
audience going. We we we felt as if we were
(19:03):
there with you in the comforter of our own home,
you know, getting slashed on some cheap line. But just
thank you so much for those moments, as simple as
they seem to us, those are our favorite moments together.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
They are right now, they really are. Thank you. I
appreciate that. It means a lot to me. Man, Thank you,
thank you. Think think thank you. What are you saying
to me? All? You got me? All? Now give me
some cash, he's writing cue cards for now. You give
me cash? Yeah? I should. I should pay you for that.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, more more so than my Netflix
(19:36):
a monthly subscription. Do you get free Netflix on? No
stupid question. By the way, I just want to like,
I don't want anyone to think like Netflix made a
great decision and I went in and and brought that
special into them, you know what I mean, And then
they watch it and they gave me the deal. So
I love Netflix. I don't want I don't want anyone
to think like, oh, he hated on Netflix. No, I
love Netflix. No one heard you hate on it Netflix
(19:58):
at all. But I just don't want it to be misunderstood. No,
and they gave me a great deal. Well, they don't
do that for everyone, cholse so obviously you earned everything
you got on They gave me a golden mic and
a matching jacket, and they said I was the only one.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Joe Coy He's right here. I've found it, Yes, slithering
around the hallway. Yes, of course, Joe's everywhere tonight out
at Crudential Center in Newark. That's a great place. That's
a cue. You play some really fantastic hauls and I
love it. Like I was saying, Radio City, I would
love to play Radio City. He's like, nah, that radio
(00:26):
seat is great.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But I played it. I played it twice. Yeah, But
then you said the Garden is where we all want
to The Garden the mecca. Okay, that's the mecca. What
is it that makes it to mecca for? You can
feel it, you can feel the energy when you walk in.
There's just like this nostalgia when you walk in. The
look from the outside, the way it just sits inside.
The city just looks like you need to be here.
You know what. I used to play carolines. I used
(00:48):
to always walk by the garden and they used to go, oh,
do you want tickets to the Knicks or do you
want tickets? They would always offer me tickets and as
I always turned them down because I said, the only
time I'm going in the garden is if I'm opening
for somebody or fine, you know, headlining, right, And I
waited and I waited a long time. I read a
long like eighteen years and I finally did it. By
(01:10):
the way, the most expensive arena you can possibly play
is the MSG y.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well we remember we have our jingle ball there.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Right every year? Oh, you guys get a deal with MSG.
They tell the artist I don't get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Don they tell the artists we have to do that?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You do? Are you? We don't get a deal. So
there's bs right now, there is you do get a deal,
you guys. There's no way to know. You guys are
paying outright. I believe we get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They have told the artists before. We have to be
done with the show at this time, yes, or we
pay a big fund. Are we getting a deal if
we have to pay a.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Fine on the on the rental of the Hey, Joe,
you're not going to sit here and tell me you
don't get a deal about something that it does. You
can't take credit for. Maybe I know why it sets
on fire all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'm gonna say something, I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna
say something here and you're gonna die. I've never said
this to anyone in my life. Okay, we played the
Garden more than you play the Garden. I'm telling you
right now, I know you do.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't think you can deal.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'm gonna throw you. So tonight you're at a Prudential
Center and we uh.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
The Devil's play, by the way that I know, my devil.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
By the way. When you're when you're a performer, like
ice skating rinks, or even though they cover it up
or if they turn it off, whatever it is, you
feel it. You feel it, feel the ice. It goes
right into your I should pause when I say this,
but it goes right into your throat. Really, go on,
my God. I mean, I'll stop right there, but this
is where I start. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So, anyway, we have a commercial just playing on our show.
Play it in a second because there's a couple of
things in the commercial I want to talk about. Well,
it's right, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Anyway. Is it you plugging the Garden?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No, no, no, no, no, it's about tonight's show about at
Crudential Center. So I said, to God, is it goney,
are there any seats available tonight? Because we're playing the commercial.
Maybe we're just charging them for commercial and they don't
need it. And you looked it up and you said
to me.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Your prices are way too reasonable. Yeah, you need to
make really much high.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But what expensive when you play the garden?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah? I was like, man, I'm getting last second tickets.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
This is going to be crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, Okay, by the way I do that, I've done
that my whole career. You make that decision, yeah, I'm
wi Yeah, I make I'm I. I rent the room,
that's me, everything's me. Wow. Whatever you rent an arena,
that's that's that's not someone hiring me.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well that's the thing about wants his fans to come
see him, and you know he doesn't want them to
feel like they've been ripped off, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Like, you know, I have my platinums, which are crazy, right,
you know what I mean. But we also have to
do that to to combat the scalpers. I mean, so
you have to make it hard for them to like
buy your ticket, Like I hate doing it, but you
literally have to do it because if you keep it
a certain price point, then boom, they'll buy everything. I know.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
But you know what funny is funny right to back
in twenty twenty three, it broke records. You were Yeah,
obviously you were ripping the fans off back then. You've
decided to bring it back.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I didn't rip anyone.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He doesn't get any.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Deals, so fans, okay, all right, it's all like Joe Hey,
just coming from the guy that's talking into a gold
plated microphone to match his gold plated jacket. Oh well,
this guy, I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Just Toy is here and of course, just being coy,
tour tickets are on sale. You've got how many more
nights beyond tonight? I mean, do you have left on
the tour? It just started. I started last week. Oh
my god, so you gotta yeah, so having and how
many of the tour?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
How many? How many nights? I don't know, it's a lot,
that's a lot. Yeah, it's usually like four shows a weekend,
three to four. Yeah. Last week was crazy because that
was the beginning of this tour. And then that was
that was nuts because it was where the where the
Rockets play, and then we went to where the Spurs play,
and then we went off to this small town in Texas.
(05:21):
But they had an arena, right, and we sold that
out and that was that was like crazy to do
something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, of course on Netflix, your Brooklyn Show. Yes, that
was several months ago, and I loved it. What an
incredible what we're looking at? H I read it's the
reflection of the light hitting the gold microphone. And I
tried to look into your eyes, but I was blinded,
so it actually hurts your teeth. Just just talk to
(05:48):
me and don't try to figure out why people are
closing their eyes when they talked to you. So, Joe,
You're life from Brooklyn Show on Netflix, one of my favorites.
They're all great, But the thing is, all all that
stuff you did on that show, it's done.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You can't do that anymore, right, So, now that was
an expensive special. That was the most expensive one out
of all the especials I did. Expensive was very expensive.
Renting out King's Theater was so expensive. I built out
my stage, so I I wanted to I wanted to
show the King's Theater how beautiful it was. It's one
(06:24):
hundred years old. It's like a historic landmark. And you
guys have it. You guys preserved it. It's gorgeous. They
don't have theaters like that anymore. They blow them up,
and you guys kept it. And uh so I put
my stage on the front and uh and I lit
up the room so you can see it in every shot.
It looks it's incredible. And then instead of a backdrop
of like my name or something, I put a brick wall.
(06:45):
I built that brick wall behind me. Usually they'd cover,
usually try to cover up. Brick built it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
do with that one.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Uh you throw it away, okay, yeah, yeah, but mine
was made out of chocolate. Okay, Snowsberry's Well, I know,
but but those jokes are done, I mean, that material,
those stories are done, by the way. Those songs that
I did in there, right, are they done. There's the
most expensive songs ever. I wasn't even gonna do those songs.
(07:15):
It was just I was in the moment and I
just did it. And then uh and and right when
I walked back, I looked at the producers. I like,
I know it's gonna be a lot. So are you
talking about the mumble rap stuff? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Right, Richard, rest in peace, rich he just but okay,
let me play the commercial because you kind of started off.
Do you hear the commercials we run for you?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yes, because there's no freaking clue.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I said, I didn't get a discount on MSG here, okay,
here's how you are represented.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But you actually start this conversation kill coy just being
coy tour and that's really have to become My dad.
My dad was like, oh, you listen to that hippidie hoppity.
And now I'm sounded like my dad because I'm like,
you're listening to that mumblet mumble you're listening to that mumblet.
I don't even say word set twenty, it's crudential seven.
(08:16):
It was. That's such a true story. By the way,
my son hated my rap when he was dad. Oh,
he hated it. He didn't understand it. He thought it
was stupid. And all he listened to was you know
that I don't want to plug him, but rest in peace,
rich home he passed away, So like, yeah, he he
passed and but dude, I didn't get it, and I
(08:38):
started feeling old like I started when I took home.
You know, uh, run DMC and and and Beastie Boys
and all that deaf jam stuff. My dad was doing
that to me. Oh hippie huppy, you know, like that
hippidi hoppity. This is music. And it's like it's like
Aerol Smith and I'm like, yeah, that's run DMC. Dad,
(09:00):
are you say that? How dare you say that? And
now I've turned into that and but I'm glad I did.
I'm glad I did it because uh that that that
that joke went viral. It costs a lot of money.
I was not gonna do it. Cast so much money.
I'm getting rights for things. Yeah, the licensings on that
was so expensive and every second was just so much money.
(09:21):
And I'm worth every penny though, right, Yeah, Look, the
biggest state reached out. They gave me, you know everything,
like they're they're doing collabo shirts with me, and it's
like it's kind of cool. Uh uh you know missus
Wallace you know, saw it and and like it's so
cool man, and yeah, big shout out to to the
big East state. And now we're doing this collabo shirt
(09:41):
and I'm gonna I'm gonna give proceeds to uh, you know,
to the to the Wallace Foundation.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It all started with not to trivialize it. It all started
with a joke, right store, and now look how big.
It's just Avalanche, never ever expecting you to do this.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But I was being true to myself though, you know
what I mean, Like I wasn't doing it, like I
really didn't want to do it. That's when even my
DJA in the back, he didn't even know what to
do when I said that. I was even like pausing
in between my setup too, because I knew he wasn't
prepared for it, right, And then I was play it
and he had it cued up. That was It was, man,
That was That was a moment that I'll always treasure
(10:16):
because it really was. It was not supposed to happen,
but it did, and that's all that mattered. But my
point is this, you've used that material. Now you're out
on a new tour. We need new material for Joe.
So if you want to text him some jokes, some
stories to talk about other people's families, I'll I'll just
talk about mine. I'll just let my son do all
(10:38):
the work and I have to ever call it jokes,
their stories and your son your I love it when
you talk about your son. I love it too, because
I don't know, even though I'm a little sad now
he's twenty one. Well, I know, but you still talk
in his voice as if he's fourteen years old. Oh
dead God, Yeah, he still kind of does that.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You never want that to leave him. Yeah, Like he
loves to do this too. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
He loves to say that. I don't get it, but
he probably doesn't. All right, that's dumb. You know.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's cringe. My my, that's cringe.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Don't do it. God, Oh gosh, Dad, you're being sus God, God,
what you're loving it? No, I do. I love it.
I love him being on the road with me, you
know what I mean. There was a lot of sacrifices
that I took, you know, and I get sad when
I think about it sometimes, and uh, you know, I
missed a lot of birthdays. I remember crying, you know,
(11:28):
when I was on the road sometime. And but now
it's like, Okay, this is why I did it. He
gets to live his his best, best life. You're a
good dad. I sacrificed a lot, Yeah I did, I
really did. We've never met your son, but I know
he was a good guy.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You love him because the way you speak about him
is he speaks for all years about what come dad,
you are?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He's an amazing kid, He's an amazing man. He's he's he's
so cool. Does I know you said he did often?
I don't get it. Does he get it now? Does
he use does he use? Hey, my dad's Joe coid
ever flexes? Oh he loves it. Yeah, yeah, he loves it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But he probably loves it when it's convenient to him.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, no, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. He won't
take a picture with me, he won't post things, you
know what I mean. And he's so sweet to his mommy,
so I love that too. And he's sweet to his
aunt like. I love how caring is about them as well,
like he always thinks to them. I love that he
(12:20):
understands the importance of family. Yeah, he really does. I
love that. Look, you know obviously you got there from
you because you saw you talk about is your family
in glowing terms and sometimes fun and yeah, funny terms.
But look at this joke. My mom and dad was divorced, right,
and like when I was like nine ten, right, so
we kind of had it rough when when Jem and
I were kids and then uh. And I even told
(12:41):
Jema this. I was like, you know, when if when
I divorced Angie, I said, I will never do what
they did. You know what I mean, We're going to
be the opposite of that. I even told Angree, you
don't need a lawyer. I got you like and I
was right at norse Fromac. I was like shelving shoes
at the time. I go, whatever happens in my career,
I got you, don't worry about it. And I've been
like that. We've been best for as ever since I
bought her a house in front of my house. She
(13:02):
lives right next to them.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'll wake up and she's drinking coffee in my living room.
That's my sister. I'm not even making this up. When
I go on family vacations, Angie's right next to us,
like I want us to be, like even though we
weren't married, we're still like best friends. We got this
great son together, and we do things together, like if
I'm going to take my son to London, I'm taking
his mommy. We're going to share this together, like all
three of us are going to go. You know, I
(13:24):
love hearing about you. Why I love hearing this from you,
Joe koy Is. You know, there are a lot of
artists like you who are on there. We're talking about
the family, talking about and that's their material. And it's
funny when you know that it's all from a place
of love, and sometimes you can riab each other a
little bit because that's part of the family. I think
that makes a difference with your with your fans and
with me. I'm a fan too.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Hey, you're you're like rolling through your third decread a decade,
deck craz It's your third decade.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Of doing this for a living.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
How has the art of if you want to call
it comedy, the art of being a comic of how
has that changed? Can you look back at those first
early lean years and compare them to today.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I love still what I did in the past, and
I keep telling the young cats that are coming up now, like,
tangible things are always going to be the best way
of marketing yourself. Describe that tangible things. So when I
was coming up, and this is why Angie so like
my ex well, I used to burn DVDs because I
didn't have a DVD yet, so I would burn them.
(14:26):
I would go to like this, this electronics store was
called Fries. I don't know if they have it here,
but I would buy a stack of DVDs, the blank ones.
It was one hundred dollars for one hundred, so it's
a dollar disc right. I'd buy like three of those
a week. So every weekend I would go out, I
would burn these DVDs and I made myself right, and
then I would put I get a jewel case, and
I took a picture of my son that was crying,
and I would slip that in the jewel case. We
(14:48):
call that artwork. Yeah, yeah, to this day, it's it's
still my logo. It's my son crying to this day.
And literally we burned those DVDs and if I could,
I would sell it for like five bucks a pop,
you know what I mean. It's like it's one hundred
dollars for a stag. You sell them for five hundred
and make four hundred for the weekend, right, right. But
then I wouldn't sell that many, right, I'd sell like
maybe twenty of them on the weekend, and I would
(15:09):
just hand them out for free. I'd just hand them
out as much as I can, like candy during the Halloween.
I'd just keep handing out.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Every time I did a show, I'd have a thousand,
ask Gema. We'd print, Oh, there's my that's the logo
right there, and ask Gema.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I would print.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I would print ten thousand flyers and I still do
it to this day, and I would hand them out
right Gema, Like, right now, I got Brooklyn my Brooklyn
Special on Netflix. I have how many, probably like twenty
thousand flyers, and I will hand them out.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't care. It's like you get it into their
hands and you let them know about your product. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We're talking twenty infested in it, So let them know
about don't just sit there and wait for it to
happen twenty something years ago, right thirty? Okay, Hey, So
if you have one of Jocoy's original burned home burned VCDs,
text me at fifty five to one hundred.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
It's the coolest thing when you walk up to me
and they still have it. Oh yeah, wow, Yeah, I
got people walking up to me fly I was in
China Square one time and uh this the cop on
you know, the bicycle cop walked up to me. He
was He's like, hold on, let me show you something
he pulled out his wallet and it was my card.
He kept it in his wallet and he goes, look
at this man. He goes, I alway knew you were
going to do something. Look at that because you love
(16:17):
the car too. It was a cool card.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'm not gonna lie can Street before Canal.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, but I think I tell every comment that's coming up.
It's like, bro, like, go out and get it. Like
when I didn't get my first special, I went and
got it. Like Netflix didn't give me that special, I
went and made it myself. After they said no, I
went and paid for it. Oh wow, yeah, let him know, Like,
is that how it works if you want your own special? No,
that's not how it worked, because they even told me
(16:44):
the day I was taping it. They were like, hey,
we know you're taping it, but we want you to
know we really don't want it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
At that point, what can you do? Already? But I
love Netflix and that's a business decision that has nothing
to do with me personally. It's just that was a
business decision decision that they made, and I had to
be okay with that, you know what I mean. And
I had to be like all right, that's the decision
you made, but let me show you why it's the
wrong decision. And I went and paid for I paid
for all that, like everything, director, producer, you stood behind cameras, everything.
(17:14):
But do you ever hold grudges like well, well, well
damn it. No, not at all. But I did want
to let people know that, you know, because there's people
that are always like, oh, he blew up because of
that special Netflix game, and I'm like, pump the brakes,
Hobie before you're making a little assumptions. That's not what happened.
That's what's happening with you. But that's what I happened
with me. I went and paid for that. No. I
(17:39):
remember I had two shots at that thing. And I
remember the first taping we had technical difficulty with the jib,
and I remember saying to myself, man, I got all
this money invested in and and we're not gonna be
able to use that first taping. And it was the
second taping that we went in on. You got them,
got it? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Can I tell you something from a fan's point of view.
I remember the night and I sat down and watched
jokoy live from Brooklyn, right, So it was a day.
We had a great day at doing whatever, and I said,
what are we doing? Where are we going tonight for dinner? Restauring,
He said, let's just stay in Okay, what do you
want to do. Let's watch a movie.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So we got we.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Started flipping around. So there and I said, wait a minute,
Life from Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It's out. It's been out a few days now. This
is back in JUNI or July whatever, so I remember.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
We we we got big bottle wine. We sat down,
we dimmed the lights. We had the dogs with us,
they'd already eaten and you know, Pete outside and they're
ready to like hang out. We just sat there and
just got into it. We didn't talk during it. We
would laugh, We just relaxed. It was just an event
for us, even as simple as it was in our
(18:41):
own TV room watching you. That's how great these nights
are when you release these specials on Netflix. Thank god
you invested in that one specials to go because it
gives us a chance just to sit back and let
someone else do the work for us and just watching
you tell your stories, watching you brilliant brilliantly get that
audience going. We we we felt as if we were
(19:03):
there with you in the comforter of our own home,
you know, getting slashed on some cheap line. But just
thank you so much for those moments, as simple as
they seem to us, those are our favorite moments together.
Speaker 1 (19:14):

appreciate that. It means a lot to me. Man, Thank you,
thank you. Think think thank you. What are you saying

me cash? Yeah? I should. I should pay you for that.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, more more so than my Netflix
(19:36):
a monthly subscription. Do you get free Netflix on? No
stupid question. By the way, I just want to like,
I don't want anyone to think like Netflix made a
great decision and I went in and and brought that
special into them, you know what I mean, And then
they watch it and they gave me the deal. So
I love Netflix. I don't want I don't want anyone
to think like, oh, he hated on Netflix. No, I
love Netflix. No one heard you hate on it Netflix
(19:58):
at all. But I just don't want it to be misunderstood. No,
and they gave me a great deal. Well, they don't
do that for everyone, cholse so obviously you earned everything
you got on They gave me a golden mic and
a matching jacket, and they said I was the only one.
