This is Elvis Duran in the Morning show. Joe Coy
He's right here, y, I've found him, yes, slithering around
the hallway. Yes, of course, Joe's everywhere tonight out at
Crudential Center in Newark. That's a great place. That's a cue.
You play some really fantastic hauls. I love it. Like
(00:22):
I was saying, Radio City, I would love to play
Radio City. He's like, Nah, that radio steat is great.
But I played it. I played it twice. Yeah, But
then you said, the Garden is where we all want
to The Garden is the mecca. Okay, that's the mecca.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
What is it that makes it to mecca for? You
can feel it. You can feel the energy when you
walk in. There's just like this nostalgia when you walk in.
The look from the outside, the way it just sits inside.
The city just looks like you need to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I used to play carolines. I used to always walk
by the garden and they used to go, oh, do
you want tickets to the Knicks or do you want tickets?
They would always offer me tickets and I always I
always turned them down because I said, the only time
I'm going in the garden is if I'm opening for
somebody or f I'm you know, headlining, right.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And I waited and I waited a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I waited a long like eighteen years, and I finally
did it. By the way, the most expensive arena you
can possibly play is the MSG.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well we remember we have our jingle ball there right
every year?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oh, you guys get a deal with MSG. They tell
the artist I don't get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
They tell the artists, we have to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You do? Are you? We don't get a deal. So
there's bs right now there is you do get a deal,
you guys. There's no way the hell you guys are
paying outright.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I believe we get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They have told the artists before. We have to be
done with the show at this time, yes, or we
pay a big fine. Are we getting a deal if
we have to pay a.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Fine on the on the rental of the Hey Joe,
you I'm going to sit here and tell me you
don't get a deal about something that it does.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
On it you can't take credit for Maybe I know
why it sets on fire all the time. I'm gonna
say something. I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna say something here,
and you're gonna die. I've never said this to anyone
in my life. Okay, we played the Garden more than
you play the Garden. I'm telling you right now, I
know you do. I don't think you deal. I'm gonna
(02:24):
throw you. So tonight you're at a Prudential Center and
we uh.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
The Devil's Play, by the way that I know, my devil.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
By the way, when you're when you're a performer, like
ice skating rinks, or even though they cover it up
or if they turn it off, whatever it is, you
feel it. You feel it, feel the ice. It goes
right into your I should pause when I say this,
but it goes right into your throat.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Really, go on, my God. I mean, I'll stop right there,
but this is where I start. Okay. So, anyway, we
have a commercial just playing on our show in a second,
because there's a couple things in the commercial I want
to talk about. It's right, It's okay. Anyway. Is it
you plugging the Garden? No, no, no, no, no, it's
(03:07):
about tonight's show about at Crudential Center. So I said
to God, is it goney, are there any seats available tonight?
Because we're playing the commercial. Maybe we're just charging them
for commercial and they don't need it. And you looked
it up and you said.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
To me, your prices are way too reasonable.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, you need to make really much higher.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But what expensive when you play the garden?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I was like, man, I'm getting last second tickets. This
is going to be crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, Okay, by the way, I do that, I've done
that my whole career.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You make that decision, yeah, yeah, I make I'm I
rent the room, that's me, everything's me.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Wow. Whatever you rent an arena, that's that's that's not
someone hiring me. Well that's the thing about wants his
fans to come see him, and you know, he doesn't
want them to feel like they've been ripped off.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Don't get me wrong. Like, you know, I have my platinums,
which are crazy, right, you know what I mean. But
we also have to do that to to combat the scalpers.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I mean, so you have to make it hard for
them to like buy your ticket.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Like I hate doing it, but you literally have to
do it because if you keep it a certain price point,
then boom, they'll buy everything.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I know. But you know what funny is funny? Way
back in twenty twenty three, it broke records. You were Yeah,
obviously you were ripping the fans off back then you've
decided to bring it back. I didn't rip anyone.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He doesn't get any deals, so neither fans.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, all right, I'm tall like Joe Hey.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Just coming from the guy that's talking into a gold
plated microphone to match his gold plated jacket.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh well, this guy, I'm not pretending to be someone
I'm not anyway. Jeff Toy is here and of course,
just being coy, tour tickets are on sale. You've got
how many more nights beyond tonight? I mean, do you
have left on the tour?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It just started. I started last week. Oh my god,
so you gotta yeah, so have many and how many
of the tour?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
How many? How many nights? I don't know. It's a lot,
that's a lot. Yeah. It's usually like four shows a weekend,
three to four. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Last week was crazy because that was the beginning of
this tour. And then that was that was nuts because
it was where the where the Rockets play, and then
we went to where the Spurs play, and then we
went off to this.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Small town in Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But they had an arena, right, and we sold that
out and that was that was like crazy to do
something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, of course on Netflix, your Brooklyn Show. Yes, that
was several months ago, and I loved it. What an
incredible what we're looking at? Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I read it's the reflection of the light hitting the
gold microphone. And I tried to look into your eyes,
but I was blinded, so it actually hurts your teeth.
Just just talk to me and don't try to figure
out why people are closing their eyes when they talk
to you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So, Joe, You're Life from Brooklyn Show on Netflix, one
of my favorites. They're all great, But the thing is,
all all that stuff you did on that show, it's done.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You can't do that anymore though, right So, now, that
was an expensive special. That was the most expensive one
out of all the specials. Expensive. Union was very expensive.
Renting out King's Theater was so expensive. I built out
my stage so I I wanted to I wanted to
show the King's Theater how beautiful it was. It's one
(06:24):
hundred years old. It's like a historic landmark, and you
guys have it, you guys preserved it. It's gorgeous. They
don't have theaters like that anymore. They blow them up,
and you guys kept it. And uh so I put
my stage on the front and uh and I lit
up the room so you can see it in every shot.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It looks it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And then instead of a backdrop of like my name
or something, I put a brick wall. I built that
brick wall behind me. Usually they cover, usually try to
cover up. Brick built it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do with that one.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Uh you throw it away? Okay, yeah, yeah, but mine
was made out of chocolate. Okay, Snowsberry's. Well, I know,
but but those jokes are done, I mean, that material,
those stories are done, by the way.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Those songs that I did in there, right, are they done.
There's the most expensive songs ever. I wasn't even gonna
do those songs. It was just I was in the
moment and I just did it. And then uh and
and right when I walked back, I looked at the producers.
I like, I know it's gonna be a lot. So
(07:26):
you talking about the mumble rap stuff? Yeah, right, Richard,
rest in peace? Rich rich he just pas, But okay,
let me.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Play the commercial because you kind of started off. Do
you hear the commercials we run for you?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yes, because there's no freaking clue.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I said, I didn't get a discount on MSG here, okay,
here's how you are represented. But you actually start this conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Kill coy, just tour and that's really have become my dad.
My dad was like, oh, you listen to that hippidi hoppity.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
And now I've turned into that And but I'm glad

I'm glad I did it because uh that that that
that joke went viral. It costs a lot of money.
I was not gonna do it. Got so much money.
I'm getting rights for things.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, the licensings on that was so expensive and every
second was just so much money. And I'm worth every
penny though, right, Yeah, Look, the biggest state reached out.

It all started with, not to trivialize it, it all started
with a joke, right store and now look how big.
It's just avalanche, never ever expecting you to do this.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
But I was being true to myself though, you know
what I mean, Like I wasn't doing it, like I
really didn't want to do it. That's what when even
my DJA in the back, he didn't even know what
to do when I said that. I was even like
pausing in between my setup too, because I knew he
wasn't prepared for it, right. And then I was play
it and he had it cued up. That was it was, man,
That was That was a moment that I I'll always
(10:15):
treasure because it really was. It was not supposed to happen,
but it did, and that's all that mattered. My point
is this, You've used that material. Now you're out on
a new tour. We need new material for Joe. So
if you want to text in some jokes, some stories,
talk about other people's families, I'll I'll just talk about mine.

I have to ever call it jokes, their stories and
your son your I love it when you talk about
your son. I love it too, because I don't know.
Even though I'm a little sad now he's twenty one. Well,
I know, but you still talk in his voice as
if he's fourteen years old.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh dead God, yeah, he still kind of does that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You never want that to leave him. Yeah, Like he
loves to do this too. I don't get it. He
loves to say that. I don't get it, but he
probably doesn't. All right, that's dumb. You know.
Speaker 3 (11:04):

that I took, you know, and I get sad when
I think about it sometimes, and uh, you know, I

love how how caring is about them as well, like
he always thinks to them.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I love that he understands the importance of family. Yeah,
he really does. I love that. Look, you know obviously
you got there from you because you saw you talk
about is your family in glowing terms and sometimes fun
and yeah, funny terms. But look at this joke.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
My mom and dad was divorced, right, and like when
I was like nine ten, right, so we kind of
had it rough when when Jem and I were kids
and then uh, and I even told Jema this. I
was like, you know, when if When I divorced Angie,
I said, I will never do what they did. You
know what I mean, We're going to be the opposite
of that. I even told Angree, you don't need a lawyer.
I got you like and I was read at norse Fromac.
(12:54):
I was like shelve and shoes at the time. I go,
whatever happens in my career, I got you, don't worry
about it. And I've been like that. We've been best
friend ever since I bought her a house in front
of my house.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
She lives right next to them.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'll wake up and she's drinking coffee in my living room.
That's my sister. I'm not even making this up.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
When I go on family vacations, Angie's right next with us,
like I want us to be, like even though we
weren't married, we're still like best friends. We got this
great son together, and we do things together, Like if
I'm going to take my son to London, I'm taking
his mommy. We're going to share this together, like all
three of us are going to go the way. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I love hearing about you. Know why I love hearing
this from you, Joe Koy, Is you know, there are
a lot of artists like you who are on there.
Wead talking about the family, talking about and that's their material.
And it's funny when you know that it's all from
a place of love, and sometimes you can riab each
other a little bit because that's part of the family.
I think that makes a difference with your with your
fans and with me. I'm a fan too. Hey, you're
(13:46):
you're like rolling through your third decread a decade, deck
craz It's your third decade of doing this for a living.
How has the art of if you want to call
it comedy, the art of being a comic of the
How has that changed? Can you look back at those
first early lean years and compare them to today.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I love still what I did in the past, and
I keep telling the young cats that are coming up now, like,
tangible things are always going to be the best way
of marketing yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Describe that tangible things.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
So when I was coming up, and this is why
Angie so like my ex well, I used to burn
DVDs because I didn't have a DVD yet, so I
would burn them. I would go to like this, this
electronics store was called Fries. I don't know if they
have it here. But I would buy a stack of DVDs,
the blank ones. It was one hundred dollars for one hundred,
so it's a dollar disc right. I'd buy like three
of those a week. So every weekend I would go out,
I would burn these DVDs and I made myself right,
(14:41):
and then I would put I get a jewel case,
and I took a picture of my son that was crying,
and I would slip that in the jewel case. We
call that artwork. Yeah, yeah, to this day, it's it's
still my logo. It's my son crying to this day.
And literally we burned those DVDs and if I could,
I would sell it for like five bucks a pop,
you know what I mean. It's like it's one hundred
dollars for a stag. You sell them for five hundred
(15:02):
and make four hundred for the weekend, right, right. But
then I wouldn't sell that many, right, I'd sell like
maybe twenty of them on the weekend, and I would
just hand them out for free. I'd just hand them
out as much as I can, like candy during the Halloween.
I'd just keep handing out every time I did a show,
I'd have a thousand, ask Gema. We'd print, Oh, there's
my that's the logo right there, and ask Gema.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I would print.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I would print ten thousand flyers and I still do
it to this day. And I would hand them out
right Gema, Like, right now, I got Brooklyn my Brooklyn
Special on Netflix. I have how many, probably like twenty
thousand flyers, and I will hand them out.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's like you get it into their hands and you
let them know about your product.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You know what I mean. We're talking twenty infested in it,
So let them know about don't just sit there and
wait for it to happen twenty something years ago, right thirty? Okay, Hey,
So if you have one of Jocoy's original burned home
Burned dvcds, text me at fifty five to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's the coolest thing when you walk up to me
and they still have it. Oh yeah, wow, Yeah, I
got people walking up to me. I was in China
Square one time and uh this the cop on a
you know, the bicycle cop walked up to me. He
was he was like, hold on, let me show you something.
He pulled out his wallet and it was my card.
He kept it in his wallet and he goes, look
at this man. He goes, I always knew you're going
to do something. Look at that because you love.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
The car too. It was a cool card.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'm not gonna lie can Street before Canal.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah real, but I think I tell every conmic that's
coming up. It's like, bro, like, go out and get it.
Like when I didn't get my first special, I went
and got it. Like Netflix didn't give me that special,
I went and made it myself. After they said no,
I went and paid for it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Oh wow, yeah, M know, Like, is that how it
works if you want your own special? No, that's not
how it works. Because they even told me the day
I was taping it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
They were like, hey, we know you're taping it, but
we want you to know we really don't want it.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
At that point, what can you do?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
But I love Netflix and that's a business decision that
has nothing to do with me personally. It's just that
was a business decision decision that they made, and I
had to be okay with that, you know what I mean.
And I had to be like, all right, that's the
decision you made, but let me show you why it's
the wrong decision.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And I went and paid for I paid for all that,
like everything.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Director, producer, you stood behind cameras, everything.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
But do you ever hold grudges like well, well, well
damn it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But I did want to let people know that, you know,
because there's people that are always like, oh, he blew
up because of that special Netflix game, and I'm like,
pump the brakes, homie, before you're making a little assumptions.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's what's happening with you, But that's what happened with me.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I went and paid for that. No. I remember I
had two shots at that thing.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And I remember the first taping we had technical difficulty
with the jib and I remember saying to myself, Man,
I got all this money invested in and and we're
not gonna be able to use that first taping. And
it was the second taping that we went in on
you got them, got it?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah? Can I tell you something from a fan's point
of view. I remember the night and I sat down
and watched jokoy live from Brooklyn, Right, So it was
a day. We had a great day at doing whatever,
And I said, what are we doing? Where are we
going tonight for dinner? Restauring, He said, let's just stay yet. Okay,
what do you want to do. Let's watch a movie.
So we got we started flipping around. So there and
I said, wait a minute, Life from Brooklyn. It's out.
(18:17):
It's been out a few days now. This is back
in JUNI or July or whatever. So I remember. We
we we got big bottle wine. We sat down, we
dimmed the lights. We had the dogs with us, they'd
already eaten and you know, Pete outside and they're ready
to like hang out. We just sat there and just
got into it. We didn't talk during it. We would laugh,
We just relaxed. It was just an event for us,
(18:39):
even as simple as it was in our own TV
room watching you. That's how great these nights are when
you release these specials on Netflix. Thank god you invested
in that one specials to go because it gives us
a chance just to sit back and let someone else
do the work for us and just watching you tell
your stories, watching you brilliant brilliantly get that audience going.
(19:02):
We we we felt as if we were there with
you in the comforter of our own home. You know,
getting slashed on some cheap line. But just thank you
so much for those moments. As simple as they seem
to us, those are our favorite moments together right now.
They really are. Thank you. I appreciate that. It means
a lot to me. Man, Thank you, thank you, think, think,
thank you. What are you saying to me? All? You
got me? All? Now give me some cash, he's writing
(19:27):
cue cards for now. You give me cash? Yeah, I should.
I should pay you for that, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
more more so than my Netflix a monthly subscription. Do
you get free Netflix on? No stupid question.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
By the way, I just want to like, I don't
want anyone to think like Netflix made a great decision
and I went in and brought that special into them,
you know what I mean, And then they watch it
and they gave me the deal.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So I love Netflix.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I don't want I don't want anyone to think like, oh,
he hated on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
No, I love Netflix. No one heard you hate on
it Netflix at all. But I just don't want it
to be misunderstood.

He's right here, y, I've found him, yes, slithering around
the hallway. Yes, of course, Joe's everywhere tonight out at
Crudential Center in Newark. That's a great place. That's a cue.
You play some really fantastic hauls. I love it. Like
(00:22):
I was saying, Radio City, I would love to play
Radio City. He's like, Nah, that radio steat is great.
But I played it. I played it twice. Yeah, But
then you said, the Garden is where we all want
to The Garden is the mecca. Okay, that's the mecca.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
What is it that makes it to mecca for? You
can feel it. You can feel the energy when you
walk in. There's just like this nostalgia when you walk in.
The look from the outside, the way it just sits inside.
The city just looks like you need to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I used to play carolines. I used to always walk
by the garden and they used to go, oh, do
you want tickets to the Knicks or do you want tickets?
They would always offer me tickets and I always I
always turned them down because I said, the only time
I'm going in the garden is if I'm opening for
somebody or f I'm you know, headlining, right.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And I waited and I waited a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I waited a long like eighteen years, and I finally
did it. By the way, the most expensive arena you
can possibly play is the MSG.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well we remember we have our jingle ball there right
every year?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oh, you guys get a deal with MSG. They tell
the artist I don't get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
They tell the artists, we have to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You do? Are you? We don't get a deal. So
there's bs right now there is you do get a deal,
you guys. There's no way the hell you guys are
paying outright.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I believe we get a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They have told the artists before. We have to be
done with the show at this time, yes, or we
pay a big fine. Are we getting a deal if
we have to pay a.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Fine on the on the rental of the Hey Joe,
you I'm going to sit here and tell me you
don't get a deal about something that it does.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
On it you can't take credit for Maybe I know
why it sets on fire all the time. I'm gonna
say something. I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna say something here,
and you're gonna die. I've never said this to anyone
in my life. Okay, we played the Garden more than
you play the Garden. I'm telling you right now, I
know you do. I don't think you deal. I'm gonna
(02:24):
throw you. So tonight you're at a Prudential Center and
we uh.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
The Devil's Play, by the way that I know, my devil.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
By the way, when you're when you're a performer, like
ice skating rinks, or even though they cover it up
or if they turn it off, whatever it is, you
feel it. You feel it, feel the ice. It goes
right into your I should pause when I say this,
but it goes right into your throat.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Really, go on, my God. I mean, I'll stop right there,
but this is where I start. Okay. So, anyway, we
have a commercial just playing on our show in a second,
because there's a couple things in the commercial I want
to talk about. It's right, It's okay. Anyway. Is it
you plugging the Garden? No, no, no, no, no, it's
(03:07):
about tonight's show about at Crudential Center. So I said
to God, is it goney, are there any seats available tonight?
Because we're playing the commercial. Maybe we're just charging them
for commercial and they don't need it. And you looked
it up and you said.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
To me, your prices are way too reasonable.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, you need to make really much higher.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But what expensive when you play the garden?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I was like, man, I'm getting last second tickets. This
is going to be crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, Okay, by the way, I do that, I've done
that my whole career.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You make that decision, yeah, yeah, I make I'm I
rent the room, that's me, everything's me.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Wow. Whatever you rent an arena, that's that's that's not
someone hiring me. Well that's the thing about wants his
fans to come see him, and you know, he doesn't
want them to feel like they've been ripped off.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Don't get me wrong. Like, you know, I have my platinums,
which are crazy, right, you know what I mean. But
we also have to do that to to combat the scalpers.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I mean, so you have to make it hard for
them to like buy your ticket.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Like I hate doing it, but you literally have to
do it because if you keep it a certain price point,
then boom, they'll buy everything.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I know. But you know what funny is funny? Way
back in twenty twenty three, it broke records. You were Yeah,
obviously you were ripping the fans off back then you've
decided to bring it back. I didn't rip anyone.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He doesn't get any deals, so neither fans.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, all right, I'm tall like Joe Hey.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Just coming from the guy that's talking into a gold
plated microphone to match his gold plated jacket.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh well, this guy, I'm not pretending to be someone
I'm not anyway. Jeff Toy is here and of course,
just being coy, tour tickets are on sale. You've got
how many more nights beyond tonight? I mean, do you
have left on the tour?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It just started. I started last week. Oh my god,
so you gotta yeah, so have many and how many
of the tour?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
How many? How many nights? I don't know. It's a lot,
that's a lot. Yeah. It's usually like four shows a weekend,
three to four. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Last week was crazy because that was the beginning of
this tour. And then that was that was nuts because
it was where the where the Rockets play, and then
we went to where the Spurs play, and then we
went off to this.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Small town in Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But they had an arena, right, and we sold that
out and that was that was like crazy to do
something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, of course on Netflix, your Brooklyn Show. Yes, that
was several months ago, and I loved it. What an
incredible what we're looking at? Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I read it's the reflection of the light hitting the
gold microphone. And I tried to look into your eyes,
but I was blinded, so it actually hurts your teeth.
Just just talk to me and don't try to figure
out why people are closing their eyes when they talk
to you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So, Joe, You're Life from Brooklyn Show on Netflix, one
of my favorites. They're all great, But the thing is,
all all that stuff you did on that show, it's done.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You can't do that anymore though, right So, now, that
was an expensive special. That was the most expensive one
out of all the specials. Expensive. Union was very expensive.
Renting out King's Theater was so expensive. I built out
my stage so I I wanted to I wanted to
show the King's Theater how beautiful it was. It's one
(06:24):
hundred years old. It's like a historic landmark, and you
guys have it, you guys preserved it. It's gorgeous. They
don't have theaters like that anymore. They blow them up,
and you guys kept it. And uh so I put
my stage on the front and uh and I lit
up the room so you can see it in every shot.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It looks it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And then instead of a backdrop of like my name
or something, I put a brick wall. I built that
brick wall behind me. Usually they cover, usually try to
cover up. Brick built it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do with that one.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Uh you throw it away? Okay, yeah, yeah, but mine
was made out of chocolate. Okay, Snowsberry's. Well, I know,
but but those jokes are done, I mean, that material,
those stories are done, by the way.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Those songs that I did in there, right, are they done.
There's the most expensive songs ever. I wasn't even gonna
do those songs. It was just I was in the
moment and I just did it. And then uh and
and right when I walked back, I looked at the producers.
I like, I know it's gonna be a lot. So
(07:26):
you talking about the mumble rap stuff? Yeah, right, Richard,
rest in peace? Rich rich he just pas, But okay,
let me.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Play the commercial because you kind of started off. Do
you hear the commercials we run for you?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yes, because there's no freaking clue.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I said, I didn't get a discount on MSG here, okay,
here's how you are represented. But you actually start this conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Kill coy, just tour and that's really have become my dad.
My dad was like, oh, you listen to that hippidi hoppity.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And now I'm sounded like my.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
By the way, my son hated my rap when he
was when that dad, Oh he hated it. He didn't
understand it. He thought it was stupid. And all he
listened to was you know that, I don't want to
plug him, but rest in peace, rich home. He passed away,

My dad was doing that to me. Oh hippity huppy,
you know that hippidi hoppity.
Speaker 1 (08:53):

Speaker 2 (08:54):
And it's like it's like Aerol Smith and I'm like, yeah,
that's run DMC dad you say that?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
How dare you say that?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And now I've turned into that And but I'm glad
I did.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I'm glad I did it because uh that that that
that joke went viral. It costs a lot of money.
I was not gonna do it. Got so much money.
I'm getting rights for things.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, the licensings on that was so expensive and every
second was just so much money. And I'm worth every
penny though, right, Yeah, Look, the biggest state reached out.
They gave me, you know everything, like they're they're doing
collabo shirts with me, and it's like it's kind of cool.
Uh uh you know missus Wallace you know, saw it
and and like it's so cool man, and.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
It all started with, not to trivialize it, it all started
with a joke, right store and now look how big.
It's just avalanche, never ever expecting you to do this.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
But I was being true to myself though, you know
what I mean, Like I wasn't doing it, like I
really didn't want to do it. That's what when even
my DJA in the back, he didn't even know what
to do when I said that. I was even like
pausing in between my setup too, because I knew he
wasn't prepared for it, right. And then I was play
it and he had it cued up. That was it was, man,
That was That was a moment that I I'll always
(10:15):
treasure because it really was. It was not supposed to happen,
but it did, and that's all that mattered. My point
is this, You've used that material. Now you're out on
a new tour. We need new material for Joe. So
if you want to text in some jokes, some stories,
talk about other people's families, I'll I'll just talk about mine.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I'll just let my son do all the work, and
I have to ever call it jokes, their stories and
your son your I love it when you talk about
your son. I love it too, because I don't know.
Even though I'm a little sad now he's twenty one. Well,
I know, but you still talk in his voice as
if he's fourteen years old.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh dead God, yeah, he still kind of does that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You never want that to leave him. Yeah, Like he
loves to do this too. I don't get it. He
loves to say that. I don't get it, but he
probably doesn't. All right, that's dumb. You know.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's cringe. My my, that's cringe.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
God, Oh gosh, Dad, you're being sus God, God, what
you're loving it?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
No? I do. I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I love him being on the road with me, you
know what I mean. There was a lot of sacrifices
that I took, you know, and I get sad when
I think about it sometimes, and uh, you know, I
missed a lot of birthdays. I remember crying, you know,
when I was on the road sometime. And but now
it's like, oh, okay, this is why I did it. He
gets to live his his best, best life.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
You're a good dad. I sacrificed a lot, Yeah I did,
I really did. We've never met your son, but I
know he was a good guy. You love him because
the way you speak about him is he speaks for
all years about what come dad, you are. He's an
amazing kid, He's an amazing man. He's he's he's so cool.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Does I know you said he did? Often? I don't
get it. Does he get it now? Does he use
does he use? Hey, my dad's Joe cooid ever flex?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Oh? He loves it? Yeah, yeah, he loves it, but.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
He probably loves it when it's convenient to him.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, no, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah. He won't take a picture with me, he won't
post things, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And he's so sweet to his mommy, so I love
that too. And he's sweet to his aunt like. I
love how how caring is about them as well, like
he always thinks to them.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I love that he understands the importance of family. Yeah,
he really does. I love that. Look, you know obviously
you got there from you because you saw you talk
about is your family in glowing terms and sometimes fun
and yeah, funny terms. But look at this joke.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
My mom and dad was divorced, right, and like when
I was like nine ten, right, so we kind of
had it rough when when Jem and I were kids
and then uh, and I even told Jema this. I
was like, you know, when if When I divorced Angie,
I said, I will never do what they did. You
know what I mean, We're going to be the opposite
of that. I even told Angree, you don't need a lawyer.
I got you like and I was read at norse Fromac.
(12:54):
I was like shelve and shoes at the time. I go,
whatever happens in my career, I got you, don't worry
about it. And I've been like that. We've been best
friend ever since I bought her a house in front
of my house.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
She lives right next to them.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'll wake up and she's drinking coffee in my living room.
That's my sister. I'm not even making this up.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
When I go on family vacations, Angie's right next with us,
like I want us to be, like even though we
weren't married, we're still like best friends. We got this
great son together, and we do things together, Like if
I'm going to take my son to London, I'm taking
his mommy. We're going to share this together, like all
three of us are going to go the way. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I love hearing about you. Know why I love hearing
this from you, Joe Koy, Is you know, there are
a lot of artists like you who are on there.
Wead talking about the family, talking about and that's their material.
And it's funny when you know that it's all from
a place of love, and sometimes you can riab each
other a little bit because that's part of the family.
I think that makes a difference with your with your
fans and with me. I'm a fan too. Hey, you're
(13:46):
you're like rolling through your third decread a decade, deck
craz It's your third decade of doing this for a living.
How has the art of if you want to call
it comedy, the art of being a comic of the
How has that changed? Can you look back at those
first early lean years and compare them to today.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I love still what I did in the past, and
I keep telling the young cats that are coming up now, like,
tangible things are always going to be the best way
of marketing yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Describe that tangible things.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
So when I was coming up, and this is why
Angie so like my ex well, I used to burn
DVDs because I didn't have a DVD yet, so I
would burn them. I would go to like this, this
electronics store was called Fries. I don't know if they
have it here. But I would buy a stack of DVDs,
the blank ones. It was one hundred dollars for one hundred,
so it's a dollar disc right. I'd buy like three
of those a week. So every weekend I would go out,
I would burn these DVDs and I made myself right,
(14:41):
and then I would put I get a jewel case,
and I took a picture of my son that was crying,
and I would slip that in the jewel case. We
call that artwork. Yeah, yeah, to this day, it's it's
still my logo. It's my son crying to this day.
And literally we burned those DVDs and if I could,
I would sell it for like five bucks a pop,
you know what I mean. It's like it's one hundred
dollars for a stag. You sell them for five hundred
(15:02):
and make four hundred for the weekend, right, right. But
then I wouldn't sell that many, right, I'd sell like
maybe twenty of them on the weekend, and I would
just hand them out for free. I'd just hand them
out as much as I can, like candy during the Halloween.
I'd just keep handing out every time I did a show,
I'd have a thousand, ask Gema. We'd print, Oh, there's
my that's the logo right there, and ask Gema.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I would print.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I would print ten thousand flyers and I still do
it to this day. And I would hand them out
right Gema, Like, right now, I got Brooklyn my Brooklyn
Special on Netflix. I have how many, probably like twenty
thousand flyers, and I will hand them out.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's like you get it into their hands and you
let them know about your product.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You know what I mean. We're talking twenty infested in it,
So let them know about don't just sit there and
wait for it to happen twenty something years ago, right thirty? Okay, Hey,
So if you have one of Jocoy's original burned home
Burned dvcds, text me at fifty five to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's the coolest thing when you walk up to me
and they still have it. Oh yeah, wow, Yeah, I
got people walking up to me. I was in China
Square one time and uh this the cop on a
you know, the bicycle cop walked up to me. He
was he was like, hold on, let me show you something.
He pulled out his wallet and it was my card.
He kept it in his wallet and he goes, look
at this man. He goes, I always knew you're going
to do something. Look at that because you love.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
The car too. It was a cool card.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'm not gonna lie can Street before Canal.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah real, but I think I tell every conmic that's
coming up. It's like, bro, like, go out and get it.
Like when I didn't get my first special, I went
and got it. Like Netflix didn't give me that special,
I went and made it myself. After they said no,
I went and paid for it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Oh wow, yeah, M know, Like, is that how it
works if you want your own special? No, that's not
how it works. Because they even told me the day
I was taping it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
They were like, hey, we know you're taping it, but
we want you to know we really don't want it.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
At that point, what can you do?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
But I love Netflix and that's a business decision that
has nothing to do with me personally. It's just that
was a business decision decision that they made, and I
had to be okay with that, you know what I mean.
And I had to be like, all right, that's the
decision you made, but let me show you why it's
the wrong decision.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And I went and paid for I paid for all that,
like everything.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Director, producer, you stood behind cameras, everything.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
But do you ever hold grudges like well, well, well
damn it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But I did want to let people know that, you know,
because there's people that are always like, oh, he blew
up because of that special Netflix game, and I'm like,
pump the brakes, homie, before you're making a little assumptions.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's what's happening with you, But that's what happened with me.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I went and paid for that. No. I remember I
had two shots at that thing.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And I remember the first taping we had technical difficulty
with the jib and I remember saying to myself, Man,
I got all this money invested in and and we're
not gonna be able to use that first taping. And
it was the second taping that we went in on
you got them, got it?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah? Can I tell you something from a fan's point
of view. I remember the night and I sat down
and watched jokoy live from Brooklyn, Right, So it was
a day. We had a great day at doing whatever,
And I said, what are we doing? Where are we
going tonight for dinner? Restauring, He said, let's just stay yet. Okay,
what do you want to do. Let's watch a movie.
So we got we started flipping around. So there and
I said, wait a minute, Life from Brooklyn. It's out.
(18:17):
It's been out a few days now. This is back
in JUNI or July or whatever. So I remember. We
we we got big bottle wine. We sat down, we
dimmed the lights. We had the dogs with us, they'd
already eaten and you know, Pete outside and they're ready
to like hang out. We just sat there and just
got into it. We didn't talk during it. We would laugh,
We just relaxed. It was just an event for us,
(18:39):
even as simple as it was in our own TV
room watching you. That's how great these nights are when
you release these specials on Netflix. Thank god you invested
in that one specials to go because it gives us
a chance just to sit back and let someone else
do the work for us and just watching you tell
your stories, watching you brilliant brilliantly get that audience going.
