You were here in seventeen and eighteen and then just
a little bit of a seven year gap.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, I mean, I'm always down to do radio, you know,
is as long as it's good. You know, you go somewhere,
you get up and they go, all right, You're at
the punchline and I, uh, yeah, that should be wild.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, and then they go, uh all right, well go
catch them.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And I just got up for that, yeah, because it's
always like six some intern picks you up that smokes
cigarettes and his PT cruiser. Yeah, and you get in
you're like oh, and then you're there for like two minutes.
So it's a it's a dated format, but if there's
(01:39):
cool shows like this one I do. Rick lewis a
lot in Denver. He's a huge, huge sports and rock
and roll guy. I love the San Diego guys down there.
But you know, the podcast era kind of wiped out
morning radio. Like you could look at somebody's morning radio
numbers and you go, uh, my podcast is bigger than that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I know. Well that's like getting on Rogan or Marin
is bigger than the Tonight Show now, which yeah, would
never have been the case. So for you then when
you come into town and being a norc hal guy
and you know, went to high school on Rohnert Park,
like because I listened to birds podcast and he talks
about you NonStop.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
He's a huge Dean Delray fan, as you know, but
he's always like Dean's like, oh, I saw Kiss play here.
I saw Motley Crue open for Randy Hansen over here. Yeah.
So like, what kind of memories do you get when
you come back to the city.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, I would say probably mostly concerts, you know now,
I mean I'm fifty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Me too.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
People are always like, oh, man, remember this or that,
and I'm like, you know, the good old days talking.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm like, hy Man, the last fifteen years have been
incredible for me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So if you're doing the good old day talk, you
just stopped living, man.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I truly believe that you just tapped out.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
You got a mortgage, a marriage, you don't dig, and
a credit card debt, and.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You're just like, remember the old days.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It was like, Yeah, when I was living on the
floor on Pine Street, fran scraping for.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
A burrito and no car and no parking anywhere. Yeah,
I remember the old days. It sucked.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah. I saw you open for Bill and San Jose
in the fall and you said something to the effect of,
no wife, no kids, I'm killing it.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, yeah for we winning, man. I mean, I mean
that wasn't from design.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What happened was I started playing music and then I
was on the road for twenty five years and then
comedy for sixteen now, so I've been on the road
forty one years. That's not a way you're gonna You
don't want to put someone through that. You know, I'll
be back in forty one years.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's crazy, right, So for me, I was I'm a
huge rock and roll fan. I was a huge punk
fan as well, and used to go to the Mabouy
Gardens rock on Broadway and the Keystone, which is a
strip club now. And I'll never forget when I saw
the Circle Jerks there and my friend said there was
parking right out front, and I go, you can't park.
You can't park there. He goes, no, it's right in front,
(04:24):
and I go, no, you can't do it. We walked out.
It was like ten minutes later it already got towed.
So that was like And then I remember when Morris
came out and he was on crutches and he said,
what's up, San Francisco, you bunch you And then it
was most disparaging, homophobic thing you could possibly say. And
then they started and it was just like, I mean,
nowadays the probably get canceled for that, But I guess
(04:47):
my point is. And that was my story about seeing
Motley Crewe open for Randy Hansen. That was a keystone
in Berkeley because Randy Hansen was a Jimmy Hendricks IMPERSONATORA.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, it was just going blackface.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I always wondered if he was blackface or he just
was super tan.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah. I don't know, but what that guy's still playing? Really?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah? I just looked it up recently. It was like
on a cruise ship playing somewhere because I was talking
to somebody and I go, yeah, Randy Hansen, hats off
to that guy.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Man. I mean I saw him when I was young
and it was Hendrix.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh remember somebody would put a beer bottle in his
mouth and then he'd arch his back and without his
hands he'd shot gun the whole beer.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, that guy could play the hell out of the
guitar man and say he was Hendrix two rows back.
You're like, you know, on cheap Columbian weed, you're seeing Hendrix.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I was on Mickey's Big Mouth probably yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Oh yeah the worst beer does that around anymore?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh it can't be.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, there's like beers that aren't around anymore. Yeah, like
lowan Brow is that around.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Low Enmbrow is still huge in Germany.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
How about Michelob remember that one.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well there's Michelob Ultra that's still there. Yeah, you can
tell him. Kind of a beer drinker.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
When I was young, it was Budweiser, Miller, cores Low
and Brow, Michelobe, Heineken, Mickey's Big.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Mouth, perhaps Blue Ribbon, Old Milwaukee and schaef Daddy's. That
Shafer sports pack you could get when I was in college,
you could get a twelve E for I think five bucks, absolutely,
and you drink the whole thing. Zero buzz, zero watered down.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That was crazy, like no buzz.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
There was a place on Solano Avenue that we used
to because we used to spot our our beer uh
dominic by just taking my text, he says. Mickey's Big Mouth.
Malt liquor is still around. Wow, right, yeah, the candy
water that's like old ee remember that that was.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
The much Yeah, that was original.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Sat all the yes and that was and I'll just
say for my friends in the African American community, they
very much liked the malt liquor. When we would drink,
they go, you got to get the malt liquor. And
then I was like, what is it about it, and
I was like, oh, this is like candy water, it's
like sugar because of the molasses and all that. But anyway,
there was a place called Michael's Bottle Shop on Solano
(07:17):
and Berkeley that would just sell to you and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Then everybody had that price.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh Man Atlas Liquors and Alserrito or else. We would
stand out front and we would either give a dollar
or one of the beers to the derelic that would
buy them for us.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
The entire avenues was loaded with corner stores. My guy
was corner store Tony.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Really, they just go in the Richmond or Senset.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Richmond, tenth and Cabrio and zero I D zero. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I mean because back then you got a DUI. They
took your license. I know, so no ID just go
in and buy.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They told us. One guy said that we've been in.
We've been told that we're supposed to grab your license
and cut it in half. I go, you can't have
that much like jurisdiction over me. There was a place
in Richmond where I went in and I was like sixteen,
and I brought up all this beer and the guys like,
you got an ID. I go I left it at home.
He goes, I can't sell to you. I go, are
(08:15):
you really going to make me drive all the way
back home to get my ID? And he goes, it's
all good. That's all it took.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, so they So, if you're listening, kids out there
always lie to get alcohol when you're underage. I think
that's the lesson here.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's everything was different back then.
You know, it's just there's no lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Right well, I mean it's funny, it's not like our generation,
you know, grew up on Omaha Beach. But yeah, corporal
punishment and you could expect to get punched for saying
something and then you're kind of like, oh, maybe I
shouldn't have said that. It was it was a little different.
Let's keep talking about that. We'll take a quick break
and we will come on back. Dean del Rey is
(08:58):
in studio. He is that the punchline come on back.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Progressive presents a testimonial of sorts.

She's a very attentive and courteous driver who wears a
seatbout at all ages of the turn signals. She's also
a talented paint and has very little cholesterol. Not that
that has anything to do with her drive. We just

be interesting.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You're listening to the Comedy All Stars podcast with Rick
Tittle powered by eight Side Network. Dean Delray, stand up
comedian musician. He is in studio and he is headlining
the world famous Punchline down here on Battery Street. Make
sure to come in. He's got a show tonight to
tomorrow and two on Saturday as well. And I remember
(10:22):
hearing about your special because Burr was talking about it
on his pod in a cave in Tennessee. Is that
the one that's going to be coming out soon?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah? Yeah, it's called fifty eight thirty six.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And I called it that because people would immediately go,
what is that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Not fifty one fifty Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, but it's a set number five thousand, eight hundred
and thirty six in my crew you've counted counted them all.
So that's what said it was that night, and I
thought it was a kind of a unique name. You know,
it is like road rash or you know, scarred and torn,
you know, man, all this boy left at birth.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, just so I was like, you know what this is? Uh?
I remember about five years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Uh, you know, I was listening to my set and
I go, God, there's a lot of dick jokes, you know,
And I was like, what if I just called it
Richard jokes because remember guy's name Richard, were is that?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well, my full name is Richard, but I've been rick
my whole life for Ricky.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
But then people will call him Dickie, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, in the fifties you were, I probably would have
been dick.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah. That's weird, man.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That is so weird to me because my buddy's dad
was named Dickie.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But dick came before the calling your membrane that right,
But I thought it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Would be a loophole to get away with it, you know,
Richard jokes.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Sure people would be like what is that?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, I would get that sometimes and it never really
affected me. Last name like tittle. Of course you can
go huggle on that one. Yeah. So I remember Birse
saying he was so impressed by you to find this place,
So correct me if I'm wrong. Some rich guy found
a natural cave and he's like, I think I can
make a venue out of this, and you're like, dude,
(12:15):
I want to do my special there.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah. What happened was he wasn't rich.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was just kind of like a giant music freak
and he was just roaming around in his life not
knowing what he wanted to do, and then he was
like really down one time and he was out in
the middle of Tennessee and you could take these cave tours.
So he went and took a cave tour and he
was like, man, I wonder I would be like to
do like a concert in one of.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
These the acoustics.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, right, like really you know.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So a year later he's doing you know, Chris Stapleton
in this cave and it's been going on now for
twelve years. He wrote a book called Caveman Chronicles, and
he came on my podcast, Let to Be Talked, and
as we're talking and I said, wait a minute, I
need to do a comedy special in here. Have you
ever done comedy? Goes no, We've always wanted to, and
(13:07):
we haven't. And two months later I was.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
In there doing a special and it was in this
day and era.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You have to have something that people are going to
talk about because there's seven million specials now they're not
very special. So you got to have something where people
are going, oh my god, you see that one. It's
in a cave. Yeah, and this thing, when you see it,
I'll show.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
It to when we're done.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
It is unreal looking. It looks like we're in Batman
the sixties Batman whoa you know, or bat Cave.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, it looks like that, or a set of the
old Star Trek.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
It's wild, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, I mean it's true that and we're not complaining.
But if you're fifty nine year old, straight white dude,
it's like, eh, who's that going to resonate? What's our
demo for that? And it's like, well, I'm actually hall
of funny and like I'm sure you are. Blah, So, yeah,
you needed a hook and that was a good idea.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, I've been doing comedy for this is my sixteenth year,
and since I started at forty four years old, I
was already out in the industry's eyes like that guy's old,
you know what I mean, which is crazy because the
top twenty comedians are in their fifties, and of course
(14:23):
they're incredible comedians like a bird you know, these type
of guys back again. Yeah, these guys, they've been in
it for thirty thirty five years. But if your material
is not talking about like magnum p I you know,
and remember back in my day, if you're not get
off my lawn.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, you do a bit on the banana splitz, right.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Like there's people at my shows that are between twenty
five and forty.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
That's my old people don't go out and they do
not go out.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Man.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
They are like, nah, just.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
To see Celine in Vegas maybe, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
One out in a year, you know, they're like, oh, dude,
we went to Vegas and we saw fish.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
He was culler, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Right right, so, and I know that you just one
more bur reference you're he was. He was fascinated by
Harley's but he was scared and you kind of acclimated him.
And now he did he buy one or he I
know he loves riding them.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, he bought one. He I've known him now fifteen.
I met him like the first year I was doing comedy,
so fifteen years and I rode every day in my life,
so he'd always be like a man because I'd pull
up to the comedy store on my bike every night.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
And He's like, I gotta do that. And he didn't
have kids at the time.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
So eventually we got him a triumph at Bonneville.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
This is like eighty British, right, Yeah, like eight.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Years ago, and I taught him to ride out in
Griffith Park and he rode for a couple months, and
then we rode out to Malibu and on the way
back he's like, this ain't for me. You know, cars
are like right next to you and stuff. And then
he had kids and he's like, I'm out. And then
somewhere along the way, about two years ago or whatever,
(16:26):
he got the itch again. And we went to Moto
GP in Austin, Texas, and we ended up riding on
the track these Ducatis, and then we rode.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
How fast do you take the Dacantia?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, I ride a pretty fast. Bill, you know, he rides.
He rides good, but he's cautious.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I don't have anything to work for.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Do you hit one hundred on the bike?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Easily?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
How do you hold on?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh it's easy. It's not like it's not like two hundred.
You know those guys go like two hundred. It's insane.
When they go by one hundred and eighty miles an hour.
That's nuts all the way down on their knee. Dragon,
I don't know, man. But anyway, so he got the itch,
and then he wanted to figure out what to.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Ride.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And then my buddy Chris Backs that he used to
work with when I sold motorcycles at Santa Maria Harley
was like, come out and I'll loan you guys some bikes.
So Bill rode a couple of the big baggers, a
street god and a road god, and he fell in
love because when you ride these baggers, it's so much
easier to ride.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
There's no wind hitting you.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's the old man bikes with the ferrying and the
radio and the saddle bags, but when you ride, you're
not getting blasted with wind. It's very comfortable to ride.
And then Bill that was it. He's like, I got
to get one, and he got one. So we've been riding.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
So when you got to the store, I'm sure was
Mitzi still alive them? Yes, she's still And did someone
have to wreck you or did you do an audition
for her?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
No, what you do is you do the open mic
every Sunday Monday.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
But still you got to get into that.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh yeah, it's so brutal. Yeah, I mean now it's
way easier. I think back then it was so brutal.
You're just like, no one was going to the store.
It was empty. It was this dinosaur on the strip.
But to me, that's what attracted it to me because
I was hanging there in the eighties and you know,
(18:25):
with all the rock and roll and everything.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
So I was like, I'm starting comedy there.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
No, it's funny because and I try to go to
the store at least once a year, and she had
her face. I mean still Argus and Yakov. I mean,
those guys are still there. That's why I like going
to the O R and on like a Tuesday Wednesday
night because you'll see as many as like ten headliners
working out new stuff. Oh yeah, and that's always amazing
(18:54):
to me to see because like and a lot of
them have been in here in the past. And one
time I went and yeah, there's a holding a piece
of paper and I remember Sarah Tiana was like, uh,
you know, brilliant joke writer, and she said, you ever
noticed that some countries are like superheroes? And she gave
three examples and no one laughs. She's like, f that. Yeah,
(19:15):
it seemed funny at the house, but wow, it's not funny.
And so but that's how you guys work it out.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's what I was doing at the Pennzlon it just
shot a special, so I'm uh, I'm working on new material.
And it's way different when you're working on it for
fifty five minutes than fifteen minutes at the store because
the story you did fifteen none of that.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Worked or some of it worked.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But when you're looking at an audience of a full
house and they're like, yeah, we saw you with Bill
at Oakland Arena, you know, we're ready, Like I kind
of shot my special. So I'm just going off these
notes here, but I think it's a thrill to watch that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. I think Rock does that. Chris Rock does that,
especially at the cell or. He'll walk in and they
go crazy. Anything goes lower your expectations. And he doesn't
mind bombing because he's so established because, like I mean,
Joe Li said, if he goes through a set, people
laugh and he goes, I'm the greatest in the world.
And then people don't laugh and he goes, I should
(20:16):
kill myself. Yeah, it's like that roller coaster. But he
doesn't care, like Rock will just go through it.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I don't you know. The bombing doesn't bother me when
it's new stuff at all.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
It's when your a set is bombing that's when you
go like what is going on here? And that one
will have some serious effects on you for a couple
of weeks. You'll walk out of there like I don't care.
I know this stuff works, but man, do you care?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
What about the early crowd goes insane? They're running down
the aisles like showtime at the Apollo, and then the
exact same set an hour later, and it's crickets Like,
that's what I don't understand, the vibe of a crowd.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, it's you know, this is I've done.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Like I said, six thousand says, uh, you just walk
out there and you see what happens each night.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
There's no guarantee.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
We'll take a quick break if you have any questions.
Across the country for Dean Dealray get him in at
one eight hundred and eight to seven eight play one
eight hundred eighty seven eight seven five two nine. He's

Speaker 1 (22:22):
You're listening to the comedy All Stars Podcast with Rick Tittle,
powered by eight Side Network. All right, thank you for that,
and welcome back to the show. Dean delt Ray is
with us, and he was just showing me during the
break some of his special and the lighting in this
cave is just absolutely amazing and they got crane shots
(22:45):
on such things. So when does it come out and
where does it come out?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Well, we're shopping right now.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Who was said no because they're booked for a year
and you know a year and couple of months. Bill's
Specialist coming out here this month, Yeah, which is great
a lot. Hulu is doing one comedian a month, which
is pretty cool instead of you know, four a week,
so you can really focus on Hey, let's promote the
(23:12):
hell out of this, you know. So I was hoping
to go to Hulu and it didn't work because I
can't put it out fourteen months from.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
That, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So we went to Netflix on Friday, and we're going
to HBO and then it'll blow my mind if it
doesn't sell, it's just insane, yeah, immediately, and then I'll
just go do all the podcasts. But it wasn't an
ego thing. If I wanted to sell. I wanted it
to sell because I really want this thing seen on
(23:42):
big screens. Not you know, of course everybody watches stuff
on their phone and the computer at work and stuff,
but I really want you know, I come from the
cinematic old days of like Apocalypse.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Now when you look at this thing on the.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Screen, it has so much depth than three D, and
the jokes are are. I love the jokes, I love
the special I love the whole thing. And I waited
fifteen years and I'm glad I did because I love
this thing.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You know, that's amazing that you have that now forever. Yeah,
your legacy as well. But the thing I love about
your comedy is that I think you'd be the perfect
person to take to a comedy show that someone had
never been because it's just so relatable and you don't
use big, fancy words and you're not telling stories and
it's just jokes and funny observations. And I think that's
(24:34):
why it's just works wherever you go.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I think, well, I think, yeah, I don't know, like
I think, if you use big words, people hate you.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
It's unbelievable. Like I've tried it.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, you know, you throw out all.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Right, ah, and they're just like, oh, I hate this guy.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
They don't even know why.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You know, that happened to me one time, and it
came out by accident because I spent a lot of
time in England, and like one time I said, oh,
that guy has a real Paul schan for that, and
they go, do you mean penchant? And I was like, God, damn,
it happened, but I was doing I did the Oakland
A's and Oaklan Raiders prem postgame shows. Yeah, and I said,
the offense, all we did was run the ball. It
(25:18):
was so prosaic. And then the text line and they go,
what who who the hell you think you are? You're
such an a hole. And then even my boss was like,
he just texted me and he wrote prosaic with a
question mark, and I was like, why did I say that?
I was probably trying to look cool and it was
the perfect word, but no one knew what it meant.
(25:39):
And yeah, So then I learned then that those two
dollars words don't help you.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah. I think I got about twenty words in.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
My ca rad fire, crazy, insane, gnarly.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I don't use that one. I drop that one after
high school. How about hella, No, never liked I hate
that one. That one's so Fremont.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You know, well fire is more in the new generation.
Like I don't say.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I've elaborated on my uh you revolved, Yeah, on my sligh.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, I mean in sports when we were growing up,
the goat was the guy who choked and the dog
was the lazy ass. Now if you're a dog, you're
all over the field. And of course goat is greatest
of all time.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I drove by the Oakland Coliseum yesterday, which has so
much to do with who I am as a human,
not in the sports wise, and the Greens.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, and that thing's going to be gone.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well they're not tearing it down, which is good. But yeah,
I mean I grew up there. My dad had Raiders
season tickets, and my first three years of Little League
seventy two to seventy three, seventy four, they won the
World Series every year, of course, and then the year
after that the Warriors won the championship, and then the
year after that the Raiders won the Super Bowl. I mean,
this was the those five years, this was the center
of the sporting universe. And so then I'm a fan
(27:01):
for life, but yeah, the first they're not going to
tear it down, but not gonna tear it down. They're
gonna play soccer there with the roots. They're still going
to have I don't know, what have you in that arena.
The first concert I went to in that arena was
Floyd Floyd cool. Yeah, and then I saw in College.
(27:22):
I saw Roger Waters, which was basically like seeing Floyd
and how about you with Beyond Day on the Green.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I saw everybody there. Yeah, So I mean the dream
is Bill and I have been trying to do Cow
Palace for the last couple of years because we did
Oakland Arena, and you know some of the big shows
I saw in there. Three nights Van Halen, Fair Warning,
Oh my gosh, two nights Van Halen, Women and Children
(27:52):
love that album, The Firm, Radioactive, Jimmy Page, Wow, oh yeah,
Boston on the Boston three record.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Amanda but they killed.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I've seen everybody, everybody on the planet in these rooms
in San Francisco and Oakland.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
The Cow Palace to me.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I went back there and I did a podcast in
there and interviewed the GM and that place right now,
I got goosebumps when I walk in that place. The
history in the Cow Palace, it's to me, it's up
there with the Garden as far as the history.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Who played in there?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You know, Kiss played there the night Elvis dide Elvis
played in there, you know, the year before.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
The Democratic National Convention, Martin Luther King. Well, I went
to Punk in the Park, which is in the Cow
Palace parking right right, and I know Black Dahlia from
the Dwarves.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
So he got me backstage and so I'm talking to
all the guys in Dead Kennedy's and descendants, and then
to meet Waddie of the Exploited, like I was just
a kid in a candy store. But I also wanted
to do the story. So the guitarist for Boston is
it Paul Schulz? Is that his name Tom Shultz?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah? Did the rock man Tom Shultz?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
So this was about ten years ago. And they're like,
he never does radio interviews, and he's gonna do you.
And it was the most ever from my show Facebook page.
I guess the Boston community is like, oh damn, Tom's
doing an interview. I never got so much love. And
he did the interview and I said, did you really
practice ride out in the street? You know, I love
(29:36):
rock and roll bands, my favorite song by Boston and
all that, and so then I'm going through the comments
and everybody's like, thank you so much, it's so great.
And of course brad the drummer he killed himself.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, no, he is the vocalist.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
The vocalist. Yeah. So there's a comment that said, hey, Tom,
where were you when Bradley needed you? And I thought
that's a messed up thing to say. And then I
saw it. It was one of my best friends whoa
So I went to see him and I go, what
is that? And he just started cracking up. He goes,
you're getting too many compliments. I got that is the
most Internet evil thing that you could have done. But anyway, yeah,
(30:12):
that first Boston album, oh think I was in the.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Eighth grade, one, two and three real.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
The flying guitar, I would sit in a beanbag chair
and hold it and then if you were really lucky,
the liner notes had the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, you know that's I mean, that guy's a genius.
He recorded that in his basement. And then they said, okay,
well cool, we're gonna give you a record deal now,
let's go do the record. And he's all, that is
the record. It's not gonna sound this. It's one of
the most sonically incredible sounding records of all time up there,
(30:46):
Like when you go to a stereo store, they always
try to burn you by trying the speakers with Steely Dan,
you know, and then they'll throw on Pink Floyd and
then Boston and they're like, hey, those records sound good
on a tin camp, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Give me something that's medium sounding.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, you know, no, I And it's interesting too, how
when you know when we had vinyl and I first
remember when I first got a job and I bought
my own stereo and I got these big ass speakers.
They were three hundred each. Yeah, But then I would
I would actually take my stylusts and clean it and
clean the records. And I was more meticulous because now
I had paid for it. And so I remember going
(31:29):
to Europe in eighty five and they had CDs and
I thought Americans were not going to go for those
ye And then so now we just have we out
of mid Air, thin air. We download all these songs
and we're like, this is amazing. But now kids are
like this sucks, it's automatic. I want vinyl. Isn't it
weird how it's come back? Like my mom and dad
(31:51):
had vinyl. I'm going to see what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, I'm fifty nine and I just said I'm on
the third wave of bell bottoms. Kendrick Lamar wore the
bell bottoms at the super Bowl, and I go, there
it is. That's when you know you're old, because it
takes fashion about twenty years to come back around. True,
So you're like, Okay, now I'm officially ancient, the third
(32:14):
wave of bell bottoms.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Right, because they used to be like in the fifties
it was sailors dungarees and the Navy, like they had
the bombs. And then in the seventies yeah, Alman.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Brothers, you know, and then and then in the you know, nineties,
early two thousands, Black Crows and those people.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, yeah, those guys were all wearing them. And now
it's back.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I remember when I was in college, our jeans were tight.
And then I'm almost ashamed to admit this. At the
very bottom, I would pay them, oh yeah, of course,
and like turn them up one. Yeah, I just thought
that was the bomb.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
It's just fat.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
But you know what's weird to me, and I've never
seen this young businessmen in their twenties and thirties. Now,
you can have a five thousand dollars Italian suit, but
you need about three inches of flooding.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Oh yeah, I go that I that you like flooding.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I'm so scared of you, right Junior high my older brother, Yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Are you expecting to flood?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know because your your pants were hand me down
because everybody was poor in the.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Sevenies, patches all over the hole.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, yeah, he's just like Now it's like I go
because I want to show off the shoe.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Man. You know, I got a quality pair of footwear.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
But then do you also have like the rainbow socks?
Speaker 6 (33:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah, I got like a nice boot. You know, I
want to show off the boot.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Gotcha. Well, it's like my friends who have h not
even French as people I know who have tats on
like their calves. They have to wear shorts in the
middle of winter because people have to see this tat.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That said, it's like tattoos. Are I do a bit
now or you know I'm covered in tattoos And you
know when I was young, my Mom's like, you're never
gonna get a job. And now I don't think I
have enough tattoos to work at Chipotle, you know what
I mean, because like it's just face tattoos.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
A friend of mine who played Major League Baseball, he
started doing giants post game and he had sleeves so
he would pull down a long sleep and they were like, no, no, no,
we want the tats. And he's like, you guys want them. Yeah, yeah,
we for the young people. We want you to show
your tats. And he was like, okay, that's fine. All right,

Eight coming up on the eight hundredth episode I just had.
I've had some great guest on recently. I'm about to
interview Stan Lynch, the former drummer of Tom Petty, who
was to me the full on groove of the Heartbreakers
later on they had a great drummer.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
But it's like gn R. You get these drummers in.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
People don't understand how vital a drummer is to the
feel of music.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
A lot of people are just this song is great.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
They don't know why they're moving, They're you know, they're bumping.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But a lot of that has to do with the drummer.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Who's the class drummer?
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh his name is.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Well, can't I think of it? No, I I just
remember Joe's drummer. He was interviewed and he kept saying
we would be off on a tangent, he'd always bring
us back. He's like he was in charge. And it
wasn't just the rhythm section thing. It was just like
he like he led us on stall almost like a conductor.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, man, it's the drum drums are I've had all
the great drummers on my show pretty much that are alive.
They're so important to me. Because they don't get enough glory.
And uh, it's so I would say it's.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Other than the song. In a band, the drummer.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Is like fifty percent the most important thing.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It's like drums, song, voice.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Everything else is like yeah, like Edy van Hale and
guitar or whatever, but it's really the song and then
popper topper. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's uh, the drummers
are so vital.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Ten seconds. Favorite drummer ever, I'll go first just because
my all time favorite band bill Ward oh Man.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, he's cool because he was jazz metal, you know,
I mean of corresponds.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
It's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
But if you're gonna go outside the box, I would go.
I played with a lot of drummers. Steve Gorman, Black
Crows s. Guy can do anything. He's you know he
did that Zeppelin stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Wow.

You were here in seventeen and eighteen and then just
a little bit of a seven year gap.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, I mean, I'm always down to do radio, you know,
is as long as it's good. You know, you go somewhere,
you get up and they go, all right, You're at
the punchline and I, uh, yeah, that should be wild.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, and then they go, uh all right, well go
catch them.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And I just got up for that, yeah, because it's
always like six some intern picks you up that smokes
cigarettes and his PT cruiser. Yeah, and you get in
you're like oh, and then you're there for like two minutes.
So it's a it's a dated format, but if there's
(01:39):
cool shows like this one I do. Rick lewis a
lot in Denver. He's a huge, huge sports and rock
and roll guy. I love the San Diego guys down there.
But you know, the podcast era kind of wiped out
morning radio. Like you could look at somebody's morning radio
numbers and you go, uh, my podcast is bigger than that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I know. Well that's like getting on Rogan or Marin
is bigger than the Tonight Show now, which yeah, would
never have been the case. So for you then when
you come into town and being a norc hal guy
and you know, went to high school on Rohnert Park,
like because I listened to birds podcast and he talks
about you NonStop.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
He's a huge Dean Delray fan, as you know, but
he's always like Dean's like, oh, I saw Kiss play here.
I saw Motley Crue open for Randy Hansen over here. Yeah.
So like, what kind of memories do you get when
you come back to the city.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, I would say probably mostly concerts, you know now,
I mean I'm fifty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Me too.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
People are always like, oh, man, remember this or that,
and I'm like, you know, the good old days talking.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm like, hy Man, the last fifteen years have been
incredible for me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So if you're doing the good old day talk, you
just stopped living, man.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I truly believe that you just tapped out.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
You got a mortgage, a marriage, you don't dig, and
a credit card debt, and.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You're just like, remember the old days.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It was like, Yeah, when I was living on the
floor on Pine Street, fran scraping for.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
A burrito and no car and no parking anywhere. Yeah,
I remember the old days. It sucked.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah. I saw you open for Bill and San Jose
in the fall and you said something to the effect of,
no wife, no kids, I'm killing it.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, yeah for we winning, man. I mean, I mean
that wasn't from design.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What happened was I started playing music and then I
was on the road for twenty five years and then
comedy for sixteen now, so I've been on the road
forty one years. That's not a way you're gonna You
don't want to put someone through that. You know, I'll
be back in forty one years.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's crazy, right, So for me, I was I'm a
huge rock and roll fan. I was a huge punk
fan as well, and used to go to the Mabouy
Gardens rock on Broadway and the Keystone, which is a
strip club now. And I'll never forget when I saw
the Circle Jerks there and my friend said there was
parking right out front, and I go, you can't park.
You can't park there. He goes, no, it's right in front,
(04:24):
and I go, no, you can't do it. We walked out.
It was like ten minutes later it already got towed.
So that was like And then I remember when Morris
came out and he was on crutches and he said,
what's up, San Francisco, you bunch you And then it
was most disparaging, homophobic thing you could possibly say. And
then they started and it was just like, I mean,
nowadays the probably get canceled for that, But I guess
(04:47):
my point is. And that was my story about seeing
Motley Crewe open for Randy Hansen. That was a keystone
in Berkeley because Randy Hansen was a Jimmy Hendricks IMPERSONATORA.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, it was just going blackface.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I always wondered if he was blackface or he just
was super tan.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah. I don't know, but what that guy's still playing? Really?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah? I just looked it up recently. It was like
on a cruise ship playing somewhere because I was talking
to somebody and I go, yeah, Randy Hansen, hats off
to that guy.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Man. I mean I saw him when I was young
and it was Hendrix.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh remember somebody would put a beer bottle in his
mouth and then he'd arch his back and without his
hands he'd shot gun the whole beer.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, that guy could play the hell out of the
guitar man and say he was Hendrix two rows back.
You're like, you know, on cheap Columbian weed, you're seeing Hendrix.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I was on Mickey's Big Mouth probably yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Oh yeah the worst beer does that around anymore?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh it can't be.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, there's like beers that aren't around anymore. Yeah, like
lowan Brow is that around.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Low Enmbrow is still huge in Germany.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
How about Michelob remember that one.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well there's Michelob Ultra that's still there. Yeah, you can
tell him. Kind of a beer drinker.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
When I was young, it was Budweiser, Miller, cores Low
and Brow, Michelobe, Heineken, Mickey's Big.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Mouth, perhaps Blue Ribbon, Old Milwaukee and schaef Daddy's. That
Shafer sports pack you could get when I was in college,
you could get a twelve E for I think five bucks, absolutely,
and you drink the whole thing. Zero buzz, zero watered down.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That was crazy, like no buzz.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
There was a place on Solano Avenue that we used
to because we used to spot our our beer uh
dominic by just taking my text, he says. Mickey's Big Mouth.
Malt liquor is still around. Wow, right, yeah, the candy
water that's like old ee remember that that was.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
The much Yeah, that was original.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Sat all the yes and that was and I'll just
say for my friends in the African American community, they
very much liked the malt liquor. When we would drink,
they go, you got to get the malt liquor. And
then I was like, what is it about it, and
I was like, oh, this is like candy water, it's
like sugar because of the molasses and all that. But anyway,
there was a place called Michael's Bottle Shop on Solano
(07:17):
and Berkeley that would just sell to you and.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Then everybody had that price.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh Man Atlas Liquors and Alserrito or else. We would
stand out front and we would either give a dollar
or one of the beers to the derelic that would
buy them for us.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
The entire avenues was loaded with corner stores. My guy
was corner store Tony.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Really, they just go in the Richmond or Senset.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Richmond, tenth and Cabrio and zero I D zero. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I mean because back then you got a DUI. They
took your license. I know, so no ID just go
in and buy.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They told us. One guy said that we've been in.
We've been told that we're supposed to grab your license
and cut it in half. I go, you can't have
that much like jurisdiction over me. There was a place
in Richmond where I went in and I was like sixteen,
and I brought up all this beer and the guys like,
you got an ID. I go I left it at home.
He goes, I can't sell to you. I go, are
(08:15):
you really going to make me drive all the way
back home to get my ID? And he goes, it's
all good. That's all it took.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, so they So, if you're listening, kids out there
always lie to get alcohol when you're underage. I think
that's the lesson here.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's everything was different back then.
You know, it's just there's no lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Right well, I mean it's funny, it's not like our generation,
you know, grew up on Omaha Beach. But yeah, corporal
punishment and you could expect to get punched for saying
something and then you're kind of like, oh, maybe I
shouldn't have said that. It was it was a little different.
Let's keep talking about that. We'll take a quick break
and we will come on back. Dean del Rey is
(08:58):
in studio. He is that the punchline come on back.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You're listening to the Comedy All Stars podcast with Rick
Tittle powered by eight Side Network. Dean Delray, stand up
comedian musician. He is in studio and he is headlining
the world famous Punchline down here on Battery Street. Make
sure to come in. He's got a show tonight to
tomorrow and two on Saturday as well. And I remember
(10:22):
hearing about your special because Burr was talking about it
on his pod in a cave in Tennessee. Is that
the one that's going to be coming out soon?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah? Yeah, it's called fifty eight thirty six.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And I called it that because people would immediately go,
what is that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Not fifty one fifty Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, but it's a set number five thousand, eight hundred
and thirty six in my crew you've counted counted them all.
So that's what said it was that night, and I
thought it was a kind of a unique name. You know,
it is like road rash or you know, scarred and torn,
you know, man, all this boy left at birth.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, just so I was like, you know what this is? Uh?
I remember about five years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Uh, you know, I was listening to my set and
I go, God, there's a lot of dick jokes, you know,
And I was like, what if I just called it
Richard jokes because remember guy's name Richard, were is that?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well, my full name is Richard, but I've been rick
my whole life for Ricky.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
But then people will call him Dickie, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, in the fifties you were, I probably would have
been dick.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah. That's weird, man.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That is so weird to me because my buddy's dad
was named Dickie.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
But dick came before the calling your membrane that right,
But I thought it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Would be a loophole to get away with it, you know,
Richard jokes.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Sure people would be like what is that?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, I would get that sometimes and it never really
affected me. Last name like tittle. Of course you can
go huggle on that one. Yeah. So I remember Birse
saying he was so impressed by you to find this place,
So correct me if I'm wrong. Some rich guy found
a natural cave and he's like, I think I can
make a venue out of this, and you're like, dude,
(12:15):
I want to do my special there.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah. What happened was he wasn't rich.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was just kind of like a giant music freak
and he was just roaming around in his life not
knowing what he wanted to do, and then he was
like really down one time and he was out in
the middle of Tennessee and you could take these cave tours.
So he went and took a cave tour and he
was like, man, I wonder I would be like to
do like a concert in one of.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
These the acoustics.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, right, like really you know.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So a year later he's doing you know, Chris Stapleton
in this cave and it's been going on now for
twelve years. He wrote a book called Caveman Chronicles, and
he came on my podcast, Let to Be Talked, and
as we're talking and I said, wait a minute, I
need to do a comedy special in here. Have you
ever done comedy? Goes no, We've always wanted to, and
(13:07):
we haven't. And two months later I was.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
In there doing a special and it was in this
day and era.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You have to have something that people are going to
talk about because there's seven million specials now they're not
very special. So you got to have something where people
are going, oh my god, you see that one. It's
in a cave. Yeah, and this thing, when you see it,
I'll show.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
It to when we're done.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
It is unreal looking. It looks like we're in Batman
the sixties Batman whoa you know, or bat Cave.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, it looks like that, or a set of the
old Star Trek.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
It's wild, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, I mean it's true that and we're not complaining.
But if you're fifty nine year old, straight white dude,
it's like, eh, who's that going to resonate? What's our
demo for that? And it's like, well, I'm actually hall
of funny and like I'm sure you are. Blah, So, yeah,
you needed a hook and that was a good idea.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, I've been doing comedy for this is my sixteenth year,
and since I started at forty four years old, I
was already out in the industry's eyes like that guy's old,
you know what I mean, which is crazy because the
top twenty comedians are in their fifties, and of course
(14:23):
they're incredible comedians like a bird you know, these type
of guys back again. Yeah, these guys, they've been in
it for thirty thirty five years. But if your material
is not talking about like magnum p I you know,
and remember back in my day, if you're not get
off my lawn.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, you do a bit on the banana splitz, right.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Like there's people at my shows that are between twenty
five and forty.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
That's my old people don't go out and they do
not go out.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Man.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
They are like, nah, just.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
To see Celine in Vegas maybe, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
One out in a year, you know, they're like, oh, dude,
we went to Vegas and we saw fish.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
He was culler, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Right right, so, and I know that you just one
more bur reference you're he was. He was fascinated by
Harley's but he was scared and you kind of acclimated him.
And now he did he buy one or he I
know he loves riding them.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, he bought one. He I've known him now fifteen.
I met him like the first year I was doing comedy,
so fifteen years and I rode every day in my life,
so he'd always be like a man because I'd pull
up to the comedy store on my bike every night.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
And He's like, I gotta do that. And he didn't
have kids at the time.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
So eventually we got him a triumph at Bonneville.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
This is like eighty British, right, Yeah, like eight.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Years ago, and I taught him to ride out in
Griffith Park and he rode for a couple months, and
then we rode out to Malibu and on the way
back he's like, this ain't for me. You know, cars
are like right next to you and stuff. And then
he had kids and he's like, I'm out. And then
somewhere along the way, about two years ago or whatever,
(16:26):
he got the itch again. And we went to Moto
GP in Austin, Texas, and we ended up riding on
the track these Ducatis, and then we rode.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
How fast do you take the Dacantia?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, I ride a pretty fast. Bill, you know, he rides.
He rides good, but he's cautious.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I don't have anything to work for.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Do you hit one hundred on the bike?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Easily?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
How do you hold on?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh it's easy. It's not like it's not like two hundred.
You know those guys go like two hundred. It's insane.
When they go by one hundred and eighty miles an hour.
That's nuts all the way down on their knee. Dragon,
I don't know, man. But anyway, so he got the itch,
and then he wanted to figure out what to.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Ride.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And then my buddy Chris Backs that he used to
work with when I sold motorcycles at Santa Maria Harley
was like, come out and I'll loan you guys some bikes.
So Bill rode a couple of the big baggers, a
street god and a road god, and he fell in
love because when you ride these baggers, it's so much
easier to ride.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
There's no wind hitting you.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's the old man bikes with the ferrying and the
radio and the saddle bags, but when you ride, you're
not getting blasted with wind. It's very comfortable to ride.
And then Bill that was it. He's like, I got
to get one, and he got one. So we've been riding.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
So when you got to the store, I'm sure was
Mitzi still alive them? Yes, she's still And did someone
have to wreck you or did you do an audition
for her?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
No, what you do is you do the open mic
every Sunday Monday.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
But still you got to get into that.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh yeah, it's so brutal. Yeah, I mean now it's
way easier. I think back then it was so brutal.
You're just like, no one was going to the store.
It was empty. It was this dinosaur on the strip.
But to me, that's what attracted it to me because
I was hanging there in the eighties and you know,
(18:25):
with all the rock and roll and everything.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
So I was like, I'm starting comedy there.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
No, it's funny because and I try to go to
the store at least once a year, and she had
her face. I mean still Argus and Yakov. I mean,
those guys are still there. That's why I like going
to the O R and on like a Tuesday Wednesday
night because you'll see as many as like ten headliners
working out new stuff. Oh yeah, and that's always amazing
(18:54):
to me to see because like and a lot of
them have been in here in the past. And one
time I went and yeah, there's a holding a piece
of paper and I remember Sarah Tiana was like, uh,
you know, brilliant joke writer, and she said, you ever
noticed that some countries are like superheroes? And she gave
three examples and no one laughs. She's like, f that. Yeah,
(19:15):
it seemed funny at the house, but wow, it's not funny.
And so but that's how you guys work it out.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's what I was doing at the Pennzlon it just
shot a special, so I'm uh, I'm working on new material.
And it's way different when you're working on it for
fifty five minutes than fifteen minutes at the store because
the story you did fifteen none of that.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Worked or some of it worked.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But when you're looking at an audience of a full
house and they're like, yeah, we saw you with Bill
at Oakland Arena, you know, we're ready, Like I kind
of shot my special. So I'm just going off these
notes here, but I think it's a thrill to watch that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. I think Rock does that. Chris Rock does that,
especially at the cell or. He'll walk in and they
go crazy. Anything goes lower your expectations. And he doesn't
mind bombing because he's so established because, like I mean,
Joe Li said, if he goes through a set, people
laugh and he goes, I'm the greatest in the world.
And then people don't laugh and he goes, I should
(20:16):
kill myself. Yeah, it's like that roller coaster. But he
doesn't care, like Rock will just go through it.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I don't you know. The bombing doesn't bother me when
it's new stuff at all.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
It's when your a set is bombing that's when you
go like what is going on here? And that one
will have some serious effects on you for a couple
of weeks. You'll walk out of there like I don't care.
I know this stuff works, but man, do you care?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
What about the early crowd goes insane? They're running down
the aisles like showtime at the Apollo, and then the
exact same set an hour later, and it's crickets Like,
that's what I don't understand, the vibe of a crowd.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, it's you know, this is I've done.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Like I said, six thousand says, uh, you just walk
out there and you see what happens each night.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
There's no guarantee.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
We'll take a quick break if you have any questions.
Across the country for Dean Dealray get him in at
one eight hundred and eight to seven eight play one

Speaker 1 (22:22):
You're listening to the comedy All Stars Podcast with Rick Tittle,
powered by eight Side Network. All right, thank you for that,
and welcome back to the show. Dean delt Ray is
with us, and he was just showing me during the
break some of his special and the lighting in this
cave is just absolutely amazing and they got crane shots
(22:45):
on such things. So when does it come out and
where does it come out?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Well, we're shopping right now.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Who was said no because they're booked for a year
and you know a year and couple of months. Bill's
Specialist coming out here this month, Yeah, which is great
a lot. Hulu is doing one comedian a month, which
is pretty cool instead of you know, four a week,
so you can really focus on Hey, let's promote the
(23:12):
hell out of this, you know. So I was hoping
to go to Hulu and it didn't work because I
can't put it out fourteen months from.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
That, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So we went to Netflix on Friday, and we're going
to HBO and then it'll blow my mind if it
doesn't sell, it's just insane, yeah, immediately, and then I'll
just go do all the podcasts. But it wasn't an
ego thing. If I wanted to sell. I wanted it
to sell because I really want this thing seen on
(23:42):
big screens. Not you know, of course everybody watches stuff
on their phone and the computer at work and stuff,
but I really want you know, I come from the
cinematic old days of like Apocalypse.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Now when you look at this thing on the.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Screen, it has so much depth than three D, and
the jokes are are. I love the jokes, I love
the special I love the whole thing. And I waited
fifteen years and I'm glad I did because I love
this thing.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You know, that's amazing that you have that now forever. Yeah,
your legacy as well. But the thing I love about
your comedy is that I think you'd be the perfect
person to take to a comedy show that someone had
never been because it's just so relatable and you don't
use big, fancy words and you're not telling stories and
it's just jokes and funny observations. And I think that's
(24:34):
why it's just works wherever you go.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I think, well, I think, yeah, I don't know, like
I think, if you use big words, people hate you.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
It's unbelievable. Like I've tried it.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, you know, you throw out all.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Right, ah, and they're just like, oh, I hate this guy.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
They don't even know why.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You know, that happened to me one time, and it
came out by accident because I spent a lot of
time in England, and like one time I said, oh,
that guy has a real Paul schan for that, and
they go, do you mean penchant? And I was like, God, damn,
it happened, but I was doing I did the Oakland
A's and Oaklan Raiders prem postgame shows. Yeah, and I said,
the offense, all we did was run the ball. It
(25:18):
was so prosaic. And then the text line and they go,
what who who the hell you think you are? You're
such an a hole. And then even my boss was like,
he just texted me and he wrote prosaic with a
question mark, and I was like, why did I say that?
I was probably trying to look cool and it was
the perfect word, but no one knew what it meant.
(25:39):
And yeah, So then I learned then that those two
dollars words don't help you.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah. I think I got about twenty words in.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
My ca rad fire, crazy, insane, gnarly.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I don't use that one. I drop that one after
high school. How about hella, No, never liked I hate
that one. That one's so Fremont.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You know, well fire is more in the new generation.
Like I don't say.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I've elaborated on my uh you revolved, Yeah, on my sligh.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, I mean in sports when we were growing up,
the goat was the guy who choked and the dog
was the lazy ass. Now if you're a dog, you're
all over the field. And of course goat is greatest
of all time.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I drove by the Oakland Coliseum yesterday, which has so
much to do with who I am as a human,
not in the sports wise, and the Greens.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, and that thing's going to be gone.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well they're not tearing it down, which is good. But yeah,
I mean I grew up there. My dad had Raiders
season tickets, and my first three years of Little League
seventy two to seventy three, seventy four, they won the
World Series every year, of course, and then the year
after that the Warriors won the championship, and then the
year after that the Raiders won the Super Bowl. I mean,
this was the those five years, this was the center
of the sporting universe. And so then I'm a fan
(27:01):
for life, but yeah, the first they're not going to
tear it down, but not gonna tear it down. They're
gonna play soccer there with the roots. They're still going
to have I don't know, what have you in that arena.
The first concert I went to in that arena was
Floyd Floyd cool. Yeah, and then I saw in College.
(27:22):
I saw Roger Waters, which was basically like seeing Floyd
and how about you with Beyond Day on the Green.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I saw everybody there. Yeah, So I mean the dream
is Bill and I have been trying to do Cow
Palace for the last couple of years because we did
Oakland Arena, and you know some of the big shows
I saw in there. Three nights Van Halen, Fair Warning,
Oh my gosh, two nights Van Halen, Women and Children
(27:52):
love that album, The Firm, Radioactive, Jimmy Page, Wow, oh yeah,
Boston on the Boston three record.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Amanda but they killed.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I've seen everybody, everybody on the planet in these rooms
in San Francisco and Oakland.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
The Cow Palace to me.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I went back there and I did a podcast in
there and interviewed the GM and that place right now,
I got goosebumps when I walk in that place. The
history in the Cow Palace, it's to me, it's up
there with the Garden as far as the history.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Who played in there?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You know, Kiss played there the night Elvis dide Elvis
played in there, you know, the year before.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
The Democratic National Convention, Martin Luther King. Well, I went
to Punk in the Park, which is in the Cow
Palace parking right right, and I know Black Dahlia from
the Dwarves.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
So he got me backstage and so I'm talking to
all the guys in Dead Kennedy's and descendants, and then
to meet Waddie of the Exploited, like I was just
a kid in a candy store. But I also wanted
to do the story. So the guitarist for Boston is
it Paul Schulz? Is that his name Tom Shultz?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah? Did the rock man Tom Shultz?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
So this was about ten years ago. And they're like,
he never does radio interviews, and he's gonna do you.
And it was the most ever from my show Facebook page.
I guess the Boston community is like, oh damn, Tom's
doing an interview. I never got so much love. And
he did the interview and I said, did you really
practice ride out in the street? You know, I love
(29:36):
rock and roll bands, my favorite song by Boston and
all that, and so then I'm going through the comments
and everybody's like, thank you so much, it's so great.
And of course brad the drummer he killed himself.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, no, he is the vocalist.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
The vocalist. Yeah. So there's a comment that said, hey, Tom,
where were you when Bradley needed you? And I thought
that's a messed up thing to say. And then I
saw it. It was one of my best friends whoa
So I went to see him and I go, what
is that? And he just started cracking up. He goes,
you're getting too many compliments. I got that is the
most Internet evil thing that you could have done. But anyway, yeah,
(30:12):
that first Boston album, oh think I was in the.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Eighth grade, one, two and three real.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
The flying guitar, I would sit in a beanbag chair
and hold it and then if you were really lucky,
the liner notes had the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, you know that's I mean, that guy's a genius.
He recorded that in his basement. And then they said, okay,
well cool, we're gonna give you a record deal now,
let's go do the record. And he's all, that is
the record. It's not gonna sound this. It's one of
the most sonically incredible sounding records of all time up there,
(30:46):
Like when you go to a stereo store, they always
try to burn you by trying the speakers with Steely Dan,
you know, and then they'll throw on Pink Floyd and
then Boston and they're like, hey, those records sound good
on a tin camp, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Give me something that's medium sounding.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, you know, no, I And it's interesting too, how
when you know when we had vinyl and I first
remember when I first got a job and I bought
my own stereo and I got these big ass speakers.
They were three hundred each. Yeah, But then I would
I would actually take my stylusts and clean it and
clean the records. And I was more meticulous because now
I had paid for it. And so I remember going
(31:29):
to Europe in eighty five and they had CDs and
I thought Americans were not going to go for those
ye And then so now we just have we out
of mid Air, thin air. We download all these songs
and we're like, this is amazing. But now kids are
like this sucks, it's automatic. I want vinyl. Isn't it
weird how it's come back? Like my mom and dad
(31:51):
had vinyl. I'm going to see what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, I'm fifty nine and I just said I'm on
the third wave of bell bottoms. Kendrick Lamar wore the
bell bottoms at the super Bowl, and I go, there
it is. That's when you know you're old, because it
takes fashion about twenty years to come back around. True,
So you're like, Okay, now I'm officially ancient, the third
(32:14):
wave of bell bottoms.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Right, because they used to be like in the fifties
it was sailors dungarees and the Navy, like they had
the bombs. And then in the seventies yeah, Alman.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Brothers, you know, and then and then in the you know, nineties,
early two thousands, Black Crows and those people.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, yeah, those guys were all wearing them. And now
it's back.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I remember when I was in college, our jeans were tight.
And then I'm almost ashamed to admit this. At the
very bottom, I would pay them, oh yeah, of course,
and like turn them up one. Yeah, I just thought
that was the bomb.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
It's just fat.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
But you know what's weird to me, and I've never
seen this young businessmen in their twenties and thirties. Now,
you can have a five thousand dollars Italian suit, but
you need about three inches of flooding.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Oh yeah, I go that I that you like flooding.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I'm so scared of you, right Junior high my older brother, Yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Are you expecting to flood?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know because your your pants were hand me down
because everybody was poor in the.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Sevenies, patches all over the hole.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, yeah, he's just like Now it's like I go
because I want to show off the shoe.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Man. You know, I got a quality pair of footwear.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
But then do you also have like the rainbow socks?
Speaker 6 (33:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah, I got like a nice boot. You know, I
want to show off the boot.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Gotcha. Well, it's like my friends who have h not
even French as people I know who have tats on
like their calves. They have to wear shorts in the
middle of winter because people have to see this tat.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That said, it's like tattoos. Are I do a bit
now or you know I'm covered in tattoos And you
know when I was young, my Mom's like, you're never
gonna get a job. And now I don't think I
have enough tattoos to work at Chipotle, you know what
I mean, because like it's just face tattoos.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
A friend of mine who played Major League Baseball, he
started doing giants post game and he had sleeves so
he would pull down a long sleep and they were like, no, no, no,
we want the tats. And he's like, you guys want them. Yeah, yeah,
we for the young people. We want you to show
your tats. And he was like, okay, that's fine. All right,

Eight coming up on the eight hundredth episode I just had.
I've had some great guest on recently. I'm about to
interview Stan Lynch, the former drummer of Tom Petty, who
was to me the full on groove of the Heartbreakers
later on they had a great drummer.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
But it's like gn R. You get these drummers in.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
People don't understand how vital a drummer is to the
feel of music.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
A lot of people are just this song is great.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
They don't know why they're moving, They're you know, they're bumping.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But a lot of that has to do with the drummer.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Who's the class drummer?
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh his name is.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Well, can't I think of it? No, I I just
remember Joe's drummer. He was interviewed and he kept saying
we would be off on a tangent, he'd always bring
us back. He's like he was in charge. And it
wasn't just the rhythm section thing. It was just like
he like he led us on stall almost like a conductor.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, man, it's the drum drums are I've had all
the great drummers on my show pretty much that are alive.
They're so important to me. Because they don't get enough glory.
And uh, it's so I would say it's.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Other than the song. In a band, the drummer.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Is like fifty percent the most important thing.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It's like drums, song, voice.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Everything else is like yeah, like Edy van Hale and
guitar or whatever, but it's really the song and then
popper topper. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's uh, the drummers
are so vital.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Ten seconds. Favorite drummer ever, I'll go first just because
my all time favorite band bill Ward oh Man.

Yeah, he's cool because he was jazz metal, you know,
I mean of corresponds.

Crows s. Guy can do anything. He's you know he
