The Roaring 20s were iconic for a reason: booze, drugs, and an insatiable thirst for the next big party. Joey’s 20s were no different. From blackout nights to fashion highs, his decade was nothing short of debaucherous. So grab a cocktail, maybe a regret or two, and saddle up. In this episode of the Demon Babie Podcast, we’re diving into every chaotic, fabulous, and messy moment of Joey’s Roaring 20s.

Episode.
fucked up episode.
Cheers to your 20s.
What was the highest high ofyour 20s?
(02:50):
The highest high of my 20s,yeah.
Me getting high probably.
NOOOOO.
That’s when I was my highest.
Or was that your lowest low.
Turned into the lowest low.
No.
Your highest high was me inJapan for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In my 20s.
Yeah I think me touch down inAsia.
(03:13):
Okay.
When we got to Asia I was like.
Wow I've made it.
No one in my lineage been herethe whole bloodline looking
at me right now.
So that's pretty cool.
What about you.
Yeah.
Same.
I mean, my dad's been to China,but going to Japan and Korea
where they were really, like,concerned about everything for
(03:33):
almost no reason.
It was pretty cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just all the traveling.
And yeah, I would say travelinghas been the highest high for
sure.
Nice.
Well, the second question,unfortunately, was what's the
best place you've traveled to?
Is it Japan?
It is.
But then Kyoto, to be specific.
I like that.
But in Kyoto, I was notrespectful enough to the,
(04:00):
ancient ness of it.
What do you mean, you weren'trespectful enough?
There was a part of me.
I was like, okay, I get it.
It's a bunch of things, butyou kind of get so burned out
because there's so many.
They have the most WorldHeritage sites in the entire
world.
Yeah.
So you get so burned out,you're like, all right, I'd like
to get a little rowdy.
Now I'm a little bored lookingat heritage sites, all day
(04:21):
which, you know, is crazy tosay.
It's looking back.
Yeah.
What was.
I thinking?
But in the moment, you dokind of just get the itch to be
like, okay, I like that.
I want to let loose a little.
Yeah.
They don't let loose that much.
Not in Kyoto.
But Kyoto was craziest placeever been.
And I don't know, Nara waspretty up there too.
I felt like I was in a PokemonVillage.
(04:43):
Legitimately.
Pokemon Village is Nara.
Yeah, Nara was so cool.
Yeah.
The bowing deer they were crazy.
They like mugged you.
Yeah, they bit you and.
Yeah they fucked you upHeadbutted you if you didn't
give them treats fast enough andthey knew you had more.
Yeah, yeah, that wasreally cool.
What about you?
I really liked going to Spainand going to Ibiza and.
(05:04):
Flipping off the cliffs?
Oh, that was pretty lit.
I think about that all the time.
Especially now that it's summer,I'm like, oh, I just want to go
back and like jump in the water.
Like literally that same exactspot.
I'm going to do flips off thecliff again.
Yeah.
And every time I, we have like 2or 3 friends in Ibiza right now
and I every time they jump offa little rock, I'm just like
the fact that you didn't dojust a flip.
(05:26):
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I did a flip.
You did flips! I'm like, comeon, you could at least tuck and
roll one.
Yeah.
Come on, come on.
Hit me with it.
Next topic.
What's the best meal you had inyour 20s?
Oh, besides, this there was thisone that was like, really white,
(05:50):
pale, five, five blond, Swedishgirl.
That's been a delicacy.
I've been dipping into a lot,but other than that, best meal
of my life.
Yeah.
In my 20s.
Well, I definitely did my besteating in my 20s.
So far, so far.
Do do do.
(06:10):
Hm.
You know, I was just going downmemory lane because I was like,
oh, have we ever eaten at a twoMichelin star restaurant?
And I realized you wouldreally know if you ever did
eat a two Michelin.
Star, because it's that gnarly.
It is that.
Gnarly.
Okay.
But what?
Still answer the question,what's the best meal you ever
had?
I was stalling for time.
If you didn't know how,I didn't have any dead air.
(06:31):
I would say the yakitori placein Osaka.
Or.
Sushi in L.A.
Yellow or yellow door sushi isincredible.
Yeah.
Which is ironic because all ofthose chefs are straight from
Japan and have been making sushisince they were, like 16.
Yeah.
(06:52):
Yeah, yeah, the.
Guy's 50 years.
Deep Yeah.
And he's 52.
So yeah.
Yellow door sushi or likeyakitori place in Japan.
The yakitori place in Japan.
I also think about often thatthey had this very like certain
skewer that was like justchicken and salt.
But something about the saltthey use.
We've never been able toreplicate.
(07:12):
And it's so.
Good.
I wonder if it was bamboo salt.
I think it was some sort of veryfancy salt.
And I loved that was definitelyone of our best meals.
What was your best meal of your20 so far?
You still have a year.
I still have a year and a half,actually year.
And a month.
A year and a half, literally.
You're basically 30.
(07:33):
I'm 28.
Best meal of my life.
20’s.
fuck.
Life.
I'm literally 21.
Okay.
Oh, man, I, I would agree.
Yellow door.
For LA.
Okay.
Really good.
And then I think I would saythe onsen that we stayed at by
(07:59):
Mount Fuji.
Best meal.
I think you were romanticizedby the hotel.
Doesn't matter, it’s an entireexperience.
It.
Yeah.
If it's.
sold.
It was an entire experience.
Next Topic.
Worst meal you ever had In your20s.
Worst meal I’ve ever had.
Is there anything thatsignificant?
(08:20):
I feel like I can usually vetfor things before I try them.
Yeah, yeah, but there'sdefinitely been.
We were eating down the streetonce, Running Goose.
And we ordered something, andit was so bad we didn't eat it.
(08:43):
And then they were like, oh,do you want to have, like, a
to-go box?
And we said no.
And then they were like, what'sso wrong with it?
And we were just like, oh, nowe're just really full.
Like, sorry.
Yeah, no offense.
And then they took it off ourbill, which was lit.
But I was actually going to saythat same meal because it was
so bad.
I mean, that's the only timeI think I've denied eating food.
(09:05):
It was so bad.
Yeah.
Oh, I have a good one that whenwe were in Seoul, we had an Uber
home and this wasn't the*worst*meal we ever had.
It was the *worst* mealwe almost had.
And we were coming home froma club at like 2 a.m., and
our taxi driver was like,you got to try this thing.
And it was.
(09:25):
French fries.
French fries.
Tuna.
Tuna like canned tuna.
Which might be good.
I mean, it could, but then therewas like a bunch of seaweed and
like, fishy stuff on top.
And it was 3 a.m.
by the time we got it.
And, blacking in and outreal hard.
So we didn't see it again untilthe morning.
Yeah.
And that's tough too we didn’teat it in the moment like if I
(09:47):
ate it right then I probablywould’ve liked it and been like
oh wow, I love it.
But we had already gottenskewers from the street vendor.
There was definitely somethingfishy.
Oh, I know what the worst thingI’ve ever eaten is.
Okay.
And it's the worst thing you'veever eaten.
And I know for a fact what.
And you're going to get a videoof us doing it live.
Octopus.
Oh my god.
Like.
But How did we not think of thissooner worst thing ever.
(10:09):
I will never, ever, ever, everdo that again.
An alive octopus, do not eat.
Don't don't recommend do don'tdo it for the bit.
True.
It's kind of mean to theoctopus, octopuses are too
smart.
Cruel.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's the worst thingI've ever eaten.
I felt bad about the octopusand I didn't like.
And it tasted.
And there was no benefit to it.
Yeah, that was my worst mealof my life.
(10:29):
Yeah, I agree, 20s Roaring.

That's good enough?
Yeah, I don't know.
(11:11):
I don't know, besides blackingout too much, partying too much,
and avoiding my family.

For no reason would probably bethe only weird habits I picked
up.

Yeah.
Spending too much money onpeople that suck.
Yeah.
Buying too many people thatdidn't deserve it.
(13:59):

But yeah I would think that wasyour.
Worst choice was my worstchoice.

(14:20):
You're a father.
Papa.
PAPA.
Papacito.
how do you feel?
Your style, and like,relationship with clothing and
fashion has changed throughoutyour 20s.
Did Chat GPT write these?
No, I wrote these.
Really??
Yep.
Okay.
Anderson Cooper.
I wanted to ask you betterquestions than just ask about
your partying.
Okay.
(14:40):
I hope this is interesting.
How did my style change?
Did it change your relationshipto clothing change?
I bet it did.
Yeah, because I make more moneynow so I can afford pieces I
like.
Traveling didn't change it toomuch, I don't think.
I don't think that reallyinfluence how I look.
You know.
But I'll say the people I metbecause I got barista Matt.
(15:03):
So he's inspired my cowboylifestyle.
My cowboy hats my cowboy boots.
I would definitely have tohomage to him to that.
So yeah cowboy life and I don'tknow besides like adding cowboy
esthetic and maybe just, but.
The people don't know who youwere in your 20s.
(15:24):
So a 20 year old Joey was broke.
Yeah.
And still had good fashion buthad limited options.
So do you enjoy fashion morenow?
Do you care about it more?
Do you feel more secure inmaking choices about it?
Maybe I do because I startedwith such little ingredients.
But now when I want to addsomething one I'm really
skeptical to buy anything but.
(15:46):
And then two kind of always go,oh, I want this to last and fast
fashion really gets fucked andyou fall into the habit.
But after you get out of thatand you're like, oh, no, because
I probably have a leatherjacket, collection, a cow boy
boot collection.
Exactly.
And everything else.
And from that, it's justbasically basics and denim so
(16:09):
I do rugged stuff because I'm arugged man.
Ohh.
30.
30.
Still have hair.
Okay.
Yeah.
For that.
Yeah.
All right.
Hit me with it.
Next t t t t topic.
So Joey's actually used to be asponsored skateboarder.
And, how do you feel yourrelationship with skating has
(16:30):
changed over the years?
It's gone terribly.
I had to relearn how to walk.
Why?
When I was 23.
I think I was 23, and I had torelearn how to walk because I
broke my leg in three places.
Why?
Because I was skateboarding.
Did kickflip landed really weirdkickflip into a bank shouldn’t
have been a three broken bonesituation and it was relearn
(16:54):
how to walk surgery, all thatgood stuff.
I had a limp for like two years.
I.
I think I recently havebeaten it this year, so it's
been like seven years ofbattling this fucked up leg.
And I've beaten it throughrunning and skating more than
skating has been a bitch becauseit's so hard to do.
(17:17):
And then you have an injuryon top of it and a leg injury,
and then, you know, it's notlike riding a bike Stuff leaves.
Yeah.
So you have to start.
Over skateboardings been..
And then it's hard because whenyou're skateboarding and
you can't do what you know youcan do, it's really depressing
to be like, oh, what do you meanI can't tre flip?
(17:37):
I used to be able to tre flipevery single try.
And eyes closed, drunk,backwards, everything like,
yeah.
And then to be like,I am not landing.
I'm landing one out of ten rightnow.
What?
I feel like an infant.
Yeah, because my brain's stillthere, but, you know.
But my legs are doing whatI want them to do.
Exactly.
And so, yeah, skateboarding isbeen actually a mental battle
(17:58):
for sure.
Do you feel you're in a goodplace with it now?
Yeah.
Very recently because ofmy running, I think it's really
helped my leg musclesfigure it out.
And I've just been poweringthrough the pain more.
So nice.
I like it.

This is going to be a weirdbackwards.
Episode.
fucked up episode.
Cheers to your 20s.
What was the highest high ofyour 20s?
(02:50):
The highest high of my 20s,yeah.
Me getting high probably.
NOOOOO.
That’s when I was my highest.
Or was that your lowest low.
Turned into the lowest low.
No.
Your highest high was me inJapan for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In my 20s.
Yeah I think me touch down inAsia.
(03:13):
Okay.
When we got to Asia I was like.
Wow I've made it.
No one in my lineage been herethe whole bloodline looking
at me right now.
So that's pretty cool.
What about you.
Yeah.
Same.
I mean, my dad's been to China,but going to Japan and Korea
where they were really, like,concerned about everything for
(03:33):
almost no reason.
It was pretty cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just all the traveling.
And yeah, I would say travelinghas been the highest high for
sure.
Nice.
Well, the second question,unfortunately, was what's the
best place you've traveled to?
Is it Japan?
It is.
But then Kyoto, to be specific.
I like that.
But in Kyoto, I was notrespectful enough to the,
(04:00):
ancient ness of it.
What do you mean, you weren'trespectful enough?
There was a part of me.
I was like, okay, I get it.
It's a bunch of things, butyou kind of get so burned out
because there's so many.
They have the most WorldHeritage sites in the entire
world.
Yeah.
So you get so burned out,you're like, all right, I'd like
to get a little rowdy.
Now I'm a little bored lookingat heritage sites, all day
(04:21):
which, you know, is crazy tosay.
It's looking back.
Yeah.
What was.
I thinking?
But in the moment, you dokind of just get the itch to be
like, okay, I like that.
I want to let loose a little.
Yeah.
They don't let loose that much.
Not in Kyoto.
But Kyoto was craziest placeever been.
And I don't know, Nara waspretty up there too.
I felt like I was in a PokemonVillage.
(04:43):
Legitimately.
Pokemon Village is Nara.
Yeah, Nara was so cool.
Yeah.
The bowing deer they were crazy.
They like mugged you.
Yeah, they bit you and.
Yeah they fucked you upHeadbutted you if you didn't
give them treats fast enough andthey knew you had more.
Yeah, yeah, that wasreally cool.
What about you?
I really liked going to Spainand going to Ibiza and.
(05:04):
Flipping off the cliffs?
Oh, that was pretty lit.
I think about that all the time.
Especially now that it's summer,I'm like, oh, I just want to go
back and like jump in the water.
Like literally that same exactspot.
I'm going to do flips off thecliff again.
Yeah.
And every time I, we have like 2or 3 friends in Ibiza right now
and I every time they jump offa little rock, I'm just like
the fact that you didn't dojust a flip.
(05:26):
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I did a flip.
You did flips! I'm like, comeon, you could at least tuck and
roll one.
Yeah.
Come on, come on.
Hit me with it.
Next topic.
What's the best meal you had inyour 20s?
Oh, besides, this there was thisone that was like, really white,
(05:50):
pale, five, five blond, Swedishgirl.
That's been a delicacy.
I've been dipping into a lot,but other than that, best meal
of my life.
Yeah.
In my 20s.
Well, I definitely did my besteating in my 20s.
So far, so far.
Do do do.
(06:10):
Hm.
You know, I was just going downmemory lane because I was like,
oh, have we ever eaten at a twoMichelin star restaurant?
And I realized you wouldreally know if you ever did
eat a two Michelin.
Star, because it's that gnarly.
It is that.
Gnarly.
Okay.
But what?
Still answer the question,what's the best meal you ever
had?
I was stalling for time.
If you didn't know how,I didn't have any dead air.
(06:31):
I would say the yakitori placein Osaka.
Or.
Sushi in L.A.
Yellow or yellow door sushi isincredible.
Yeah.
Which is ironic because all ofthose chefs are straight from
Japan and have been making sushisince they were, like 16.
Yeah.
(06:52):
Yeah, yeah, the.
Guy's 50 years.
Deep Yeah.
And he's 52.
So yeah.
Yellow door sushi or likeyakitori place in Japan.
The yakitori place in Japan.
I also think about often thatthey had this very like certain
skewer that was like justchicken and salt.
But something about the saltthey use.
We've never been able toreplicate.
(07:12):
And it's so.
Good.
I wonder if it was bamboo salt.
I think it was some sort of veryfancy salt.
And I loved that was definitelyone of our best meals.
What was your best meal of your20 so far?
You still have a year.
I still have a year and a half,actually year.
And a month.
A year and a half, literally.
You're basically 30.
(07:33):
I'm 28.
Best meal of my life.
20’s.
fuck.
Life.
I'm literally 21.
Okay.
Oh, man, I, I would agree.
Yellow door.
For LA.
Okay.
Really good.
And then I think I would saythe onsen that we stayed at by
(07:59):
Mount Fuji.
Best meal.
I think you were romanticizedby the hotel.
Doesn't matter, it’s an entireexperience.
It.
Yeah.
If it's.
sold.
It was an entire experience.
Next Topic.
Worst meal you ever had In your20s.
Worst meal I’ve ever had.
Is there anything thatsignificant?
(08:20):
I feel like I can usually vetfor things before I try them.
Yeah, yeah, but there'sdefinitely been.
We were eating down the streetonce, Running Goose.
And we ordered something, andit was so bad we didn't eat it.
(08:43):
And then they were like, oh,do you want to have, like, a
to-go box?
And we said no.
And then they were like, what'sso wrong with it?
And we were just like, oh, nowe're just really full.
Like, sorry.
Yeah, no offense.
And then they took it off ourbill, which was lit.
But I was actually going to saythat same meal because it was
so bad.
I mean, that's the only timeI think I've denied eating food.
(09:05):
It was so bad.
Yeah.
Oh, I have a good one that whenwe were in Seoul, we had an Uber
home and this wasn't the*worst*meal we ever had.
It was the *worst* mealwe almost had.
And we were coming home froma club at like 2 a.m., and
our taxi driver was like,you got to try this thing.
And it was.
(09:25):
French fries.
French fries.
Tuna.
Tuna like canned tuna.
Which might be good.
I mean, it could, but then therewas like a bunch of seaweed and
like, fishy stuff on top.
And it was 3 a.m.
by the time we got it.
And, blacking in and outreal hard.
So we didn't see it again untilthe morning.
Yeah.
And that's tough too we didn’teat it in the moment like if I
(09:47):
ate it right then I probablywould’ve liked it and been like
oh wow, I love it.
But we had already gottenskewers from the street vendor.
There was definitely somethingfishy.
Oh, I know what the worst thingI’ve ever eaten is.
Okay.
And it's the worst thing you'veever eaten.
And I know for a fact what.
And you're going to get a videoof us doing it live.
Octopus.
Oh my god.
Like.
But How did we not think of thissooner worst thing ever.
(10:09):
I will never, ever, ever, everdo that again.
An alive octopus, do not eat.
Don't don't recommend do don'tdo it for the bit.
True.
It's kind of mean to theoctopus, octopuses are too
smart.
Cruel.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's the worst thingI've ever eaten.
I felt bad about the octopusand I didn't like.
And it tasted.
And there was no benefit to it.
Yeah, that was my worst mealof my life.
(10:29):
Yeah, I agree, 20s Roaring.

Your style, and like,relationship with clothing and
fashion has changed throughoutyour 20s.
Did Chat GPT write these?
No, I wrote these.
Really??
Yep.
Okay.
Anderson Cooper.
I wanted to ask you betterquestions than just ask about
your partying.
Okay.
(14:40):
I hope this is interesting.
How did my style change?
Did it change your relationshipto clothing change?
I bet it did.
Yeah, because I make more moneynow so I can afford pieces I
like.
Traveling didn't change it toomuch, I don't think.
I don't think that reallyinfluence how I look.
You know.
But I'll say the people I metbecause I got barista Matt.
(15:03):
So he's inspired my cowboylifestyle.
My cowboy hats my cowboy boots.
I would definitely have tohomage to him to that.
So yeah cowboy life and I don'tknow besides like adding cowboy
esthetic and maybe just, but.
The people don't know who youwere in your 20s.
(15:24):
So a 20 year old Joey was broke.
Yeah.
And still had good fashion buthad limited options.
So do you enjoy fashion morenow?
Do you care about it more?
Do you feel more secure inmaking choices about it?
Maybe I do because I startedwith such little ingredients.
But now when I want to addsomething one I'm really
skeptical to buy anything but.
(15:46):
And then two kind of always go,oh, I want this to last and fast
fashion really gets fucked andyou fall into the habit.
But after you get out of thatand you're like, oh, no, because
I probably have a leatherjacket, collection, a cow boy
boot collection.
Exactly.
And everything else.
And from that, it's justbasically basics and denim so
(16:09):
I do rugged stuff because I'm arugged man.
Ohh.
30.
30.
Still have hair.
Okay.
Yeah.
For that.
Yeah.
All right.
Hit me with it.
Next t t t t topic.
So Joey's actually used to be asponsored skateboarder.
And, how do you feel yourrelationship with skating has
(16:30):
changed over the years?
It's gone terribly.
I had to relearn how to walk.
Why?
When I was 23.
I think I was 23, and I had torelearn how to walk because I
broke my leg in three places.
Why?
Because I was skateboarding.
Did kickflip landed really weirdkickflip into a bank shouldn’t
have been a three broken bonesituation and it was relearn
(16:54):
how to walk surgery, all thatgood stuff.
I had a limp for like two years.
I.
I think I recently havebeaten it this year, so it's
been like seven years ofbattling this fucked up leg.
And I've beaten it throughrunning and skating more than
skating has been a bitch becauseit's so hard to do.
(17:17):
And then you have an injuryon top of it and a leg injury,
and then, you know, it's notlike riding a bike Stuff leaves.
Yeah.
So you have to start.
Over skateboardings been..
And then it's hard because whenyou're skateboarding and
you can't do what you know youcan do, it's really depressing
to be like, oh, what do you meanI can't tre flip?
(17:37):
I used to be able to tre flipevery single try.
And eyes closed, drunk,backwards, everything like,
yeah.
And then to be like,I am not landing.
I'm landing one out of ten rightnow.
What?
I feel like an infant.
Yeah, because my brain's stillthere, but, you know.
But my legs are doing whatI want them to do.
Exactly.
And so, yeah, skateboarding isbeen actually a mental battle
(17:58):
for sure.
Do you feel you're in a goodplace with it now?
Yeah.
Very recently because ofmy running, I think it's really
helped my leg musclesfigure it out.
And I've just been poweringthrough the pain more.
