Oh yes Joey I can fathom that.. The whole reason I love listening to uncle Joey is the identification I get.. Great deeply disturbing memories. But fucking GREAT!
This kinda shit interests me. My girl was born and raised in a small town in Oregon, she's 30 and has lived a relatively normal life. I'm 38, was born in Orange County and moved all over SO CAL. From Inglewood, Maywood, Bell, Lynnwood, Compton, just all over the place. We were a very poor family, Dad was a Mexican immigrant, biological father was also straight from Mexico. Anywho, looking back now I think a lot of my drug use from early on was just getting to escape how fucking shit reality was. I'd already drank and smoked weed with an uncle, who wound up being a chester but not with me, by 11. By the time I got in middle school and started to develop myself I got in with a, uh, less than stellar group of kids. We weren't the typical gang bangers, we all actually were primarily into video games so we were arcade rats for the most part. We also just happened to really like trying any and every drug there was available. So before I got outta middle school, Nimitz down there, I'd done acid a shit ton, speed, glass, crack, PCP, heroin (only smoked it), some shit I don't even remember, too. It continued all through high school, we'd moved up to the Bay Area by the time I was 15. It wasn't as hard of drug use, wasn't nearly as easily attainable where I lived with no friends. But I managed somewhat. Primarily drank, smoked a shitload of weed, occasionally did meth, lots of coke, a fair amount of acid. I got outta all that shit by about 24 and just became a fucking drunk. I was a pretty sad alcoholic, functioning with a full-time job, but still. We were homeless at 18, mom had 2 more kids, my lil sisters aged 20 years apart from me, and my younger brothers who are all 4 years younger than me. They found a place to stay, Mom, my sisters, who were extremely young at the time, and I. We stayed homeless for a decent while, I remember just pushing the stroller with my sister while Mom pushed the other all over Gilroy, CA, most of the time all night until sunrise when we couldn't sleep anywhere. I should point out it was a bit after this I was in my functioning alchy stage. But after I got a job and us an apartment I just about quit all other drugs besides booze. And it stayed that way until I was about 32-33. I met my girl on a randomized chat app, piece of shit called Chatroid lol. We got to know eachother and she ultimately gave me an ultimatum; to move up to OR and stop killing myself with alcohol or never talk to her again. Been up here about 5 years, a few times a year I drink now not gonna lie, and we're buying our first house, hopefully on Monday. Long winded diatribe, I know nobody will read, but like Joey Diaz I came back from being a scumbag, basically, a drug addicted boozehound with absolutely no hope of attaining anything to actually having a shot at owning my own home with a woman I love. I like hearing stories like Joey's, I can totally relate. Dude is awesome and hilarious, and real. Anyone that actually did read all this shit, if you're in a bad phase of your life just don't give up. If a piece of shit like me can turn it around anyone, YOU, can, too. Have a good one, people!
The old lambsbread was beutiful, kept it going from seed, bred a great cross with black domina with it, called it sweetleaf.Heard kids recently calling it lambsbeath, tried to put 'em right but you can't educate cloth...
joey isn’t lying. people who haven’t been apart of the drug life dont really realize how out of control that life is. the amount of really weird scary fucked up shit most of us have witnessed is just unbelievable man.
@@MICRSCP I never understand the attraction to crack. The high is over so fast but meth can last hours. I quit 16 years ago but I stayed up 8 days off meth once.
It’s ‘cause he’s from Toronto. Fellow Canadian here, so I can tell you that the people of Toronto have a huge, collective chip on their shoulder cause they wanna be NYC so bad. At first it’s embarrassing; now it’s just friggin annoying, not to mention lame.
Lol!!! It’s what people from Toronto do. They are so dying to be from NYC but most of them wouldn’t last....a New York minute!!! Zing!! People from Toronto are very precious and take themselves very seriously, they’re from Toronto, don’t you know....FFS....
Its definitely fucked, but let's be happy he is sober. Other than marijuana I should add, and I'm fairly certain that he doesn't drink, at least not anymore I believe. I could be wrong on that, but I know he is sober off everything else he talked about in this podcast. Of course doing those things was a mistake, you environment heavily effects decisions like that and making serious decisions about right and wrong the point is to turn around and learn when you hsve the resources and people to do so. And Joey has done that, and I'm happy about it because I love his comedy and podcasts 😂😂😂
When someone says they smoked crack for a period of time they are not going to be 100% honest about that length of time so just add a zero. 60 weeks would be more realistic.
@@0BRAINS0 this is normally true but for Joey you might wanna do the opposite and cut the time in half cuz I’m sure he would exaggerate for the sake of entertainment yk
Not a fan of Russell he is the kinda guy to try to one up you on everything u flipped a half I flipped an ounce you flipped an ounce I flipped 2 ounces.
graffiticatdog thought it was lambs breath. I literally only seen that strain one time come to my town. It was the craziest smelling weed... I remember we skipped school and hotboxed in my driveway and got stupid high lol
MrDrinkgreentea lol why wouldn’t he only reason I can think of is because EVERY comedian is going to want to be booked so they will only book the really famous ones
I knew a beautiful 21yr old blonde that was into H nice family, nice house, her sister worked for a newstation one of the most beautiful girls I ever seen. Slept with her friend one night when she was hanging out with her but all I cared about was her XD true 10/10 girl
Love you Joey! I was on coke for multiple years too and totally relate on what you mean it’s just disgusting. The problem is when we get hooked it takes a while to realize and we still think about it daily.. Like Rick James says “cocaine is a powerful drug”. No shit
Dude let me tell u something. Crack is like super cocaine. Once u hit that pipe, it's hard to go back to sniffing. It's literally kicks in as ur still hitting the pipe. And it's the most amazing 10 minutes of your life. The thing that sucks about it is that the high is so good but it's so short lived. U literally gotta take a hit every 10-20 minutes. But it's such a good fucking high. It steals your soul. Your dignity. EVERYTHING. Nobody can handle it. Just never try it, is my advice
Joey....that's what gets an addict clean, is that feeling of I don't belong here, or extreme guilt, as soon as you fire up, on whatever drug is holding you down..I have been through the ringers....10yrs of methodone clinics under my belt at 45yrs old..and 12 yrs clean....just cannabis, and the random psychedelic a couple times a year.....I do more Testosterone than anything...lol
That’s brilliant mate, well done. Psychedelics don’t count either, they’ll all be legal in the next 10 years. They’ve been proven to help addicts, plus people with PTSD & depression.
Very relatable. When I was using drugs I was in weird/scary situations with people I had no business being around. At times it was fun and like being on a rebellious adventure but it was dangerous and risky. Some of the people you would meet would be long time users/just fucking whack job level people. At the end of the day or that weird coked out 5am time period I would literally sit there by myself and say “all that crazy shit just to catch a buzz” and then I got into weed and all that nonsense stopped
My Elementary school friend got too scary to hang with....I smoked a shit load of rock .....but by myself I was a snortin guy....I would go to punk and metal shows....always tried to have a bindle of White Lady....but my 6o' clock crew would be taxi to truck stop hookers ....and bake soda cook the coke with a soup ladle and a blowtorch .....90s coke was fishscale dynamite.....I didn't have to cook it but some insisted it be cooked up.......I'll say that at a death metal show across the river in Mexico it was cut ... But on the Texas side some guys were hammering and knifeing the Key.....
His memory is unbelievable he's like "Joe Rogan, in the winter of 84 in Jersey i walked over 40 miles just to get the best crack in America, it was a Sunday, slush was all over. You know what i mean Joe, the next day after snow had came and gone, leaving behind this icing slush shite, anyway i left home around 9am with $80 and walked all over Jersey for nearly 12 hours. I was fuming all day trying to find Pookie, (the dealer) he's a black. chinese, philippine guy who had a very strong irish accent, and he had this supersonic crack, btw i was boiling ready to blow when i found him but u know what joe rogan, the weird thing is that the anger this boiling rage instantly turns to joy & excitement the very moment he puts the crack in my hand, honestly joe rogan i was skipping/dancing all the way home, Joe Rogan you understand what I'm saying dont you??? "Joe: Yeah of course do th...." then joey interrupts him and says, Joe, Joe, trust me you don't Joe. You know but you dont know, u get me?!?!? (Joe is like WTF... give me a tug on what your smoking Joey) pmsl
I have news for this guy, there is no "throw back" crack. It's been sold constantly since the first bag. I'd say it's still pretty popular, if you haven't tried meth before
THIS IS ALL FACTS!!! @10:30 I go through the same thing! I tell people I'm too old to be lying about anything! Lying is for children. Any grown man with any real integrity doesn't need to play make-believe. These stories are sort of a form of therapy. That's why they are told! This is officially one of my new favorite podcast now! I salute you Joey Diaz!
Thank you.....as a friend of mine said we have no reason to lie.....as a matter of fact that character, his friend and I....they were in town on buissness......Laredo TX.....they asked for a coke score .....to party.....we get pulled over....there was beef on the streets....searched us 3 once .....we were punk rock types but the Austin vatos local cops weren't used to .....the Commander says to search us a second time....just at that instant someone does a mag dump (380?,9mm)....up and around the corner......were told to get back to the motel....the Austin guys are staying at BTW 50 elbows under the bed.....score a 30 of coke.....well my friend had a sheet of ACID in his flannel pocket. The shooting saved our ass......truth is stranger than fiction.......
It's amazing how Uncle Joey drops terms from the 80s that I haven't heard since the 80s! Back then we had no idea that we were living in such a memorable time. Love ya Unc
@@fattdamon1980 yeah.. I remember when I got only like 50 g, and right away there in parking lot i put it in four more ziplock bags and a glass jar in trunk under the liftable thing next to spare wheel. Went to eat for 30 min, came back to my car, opened the door and immediately so potent skunk odor hits me. It was so strong that driving windows open past some people in sidewalk, they probably would have smelt it LOL. Just my luck, got police stop me for a random alcohol test and right away he told "I smell weed, care to hand it over so we don't have to tear you whole car up". I gave it to them of course since the shit would't be hard to locate by the smell, and to save all of ours time. They released me in 2 hours after some questions like names of people I got it and usual stuff. Even though I wasn't cooperative on telling any names of course, they still didn't drug test me (phew) and gave me a lift back to my car.
Idk what he means "I wonder how u found it in 02, must've been some throwback crack"... like buddy you can still get crack everywhere. I can find crack in 5 min in my city.
Joey is the type when they say "I lived in the city" that they truly lived in the city and experienced what most who live in the city don't even witness or have done.
True. It doesnt quit amazin me how lives are intertwined, physically and mentally in cities. In one apartment you have a lawyer with wife and kids, holidays and dinners, and on the other side of the wall you have drug fiend that sees all kinds of shit everyday (well, night). And they have no idea about what a mile looks like in each others shoes.
Joey didn't actually get high on crack if he says its disgusting and a cousin to cocaine. If he actually got a straight shooter and some brilow and hit that rock proper and held it in, he probably would've never stopped knowing his personality haha. Thank god he smoked it out of a coke can loln
FUCKIN LAMBS BREAD. smoking some right now. I've been searching for it for FIFTEEN years in this Medical system of America. I found it. It's just as I remembered. Anyone that likes Sativa, try and find some Lambs Bread. Of course it'll never be the same as it was back then. But that taste has never gone away
God, when I was a kid, I bought weed in some shady places. Never coke, ecstasy or shrooms. But weed man. I went to a dealers house once, everyone was on acid. I got offered it several times, never did it. Once left a club in my area, went to meet a good friend of mine to grab some weed. Turns out, in the same neighborhood, an escalade was stolen. Just so happened that we parked behind one that matched the description. I go to take a piss in some bushes only to come out and have a couple bangers with guns in my face. Long story short, my friends came out, a couple rounds went off by my face, one of my buddies was by my feet screaming for his life while I'm staring down the barrels of 4 pistols in my face. We smoked the entire quarter ounce we bought that night, and popped a couple pills to sleep that night.
Should've stuck with the dealer on acid lol, shit now I won't buy drugs from anyone that DOESNT like psychedelics. They're actually a pretty effective way to figure out if someone's trustworthy because they dredge up almost everyone's secrets almost every time.
Actually drug dealers on acid sounds like one of the least sketchy things possible now that I think about. Having guns pointed in your face is a much different story obviously so I rest my case lol
Joey I know you wont read this but I'm from Pittsburgh pa. Your right most people wont be able to handle what it's like growing up like us my dad is a crackhead but when I was a kid he used to get me on the weekends he was a union electrician bringing home $1500 dollars a week. I ended up in so meny crack houses and left with only strangers while he was behind closed doors. When I was a kid I just chalked it up to being a street kid. By the time I hit 25 I felt like I lived a full life
I'm happy to see people talking about the lambs bread and thai and other landraces. The maui isn't a true landrace because cannabis isn't native to Hawaii but by now it may as well be. One misconception about sensimilla is that it's a strain but it's just Spanish for seedless. Does anyone remember the extreme skunky buds in the 80s and 90s that is known today as roadkill skunk? I remember going to see my dad in Indiana for the first time in a couple years and being able to smell it before he opened his apartment door and it was in his bedroom closet. I would give anything for some seeds from the skunk he got back then, the breeding potential for a plant that terpene dense are amazing. I believe it went extinct in favor of northern lights, hashplants, skunk #1 and other low odor high performance plants because too many people were getting busted growing it. Seed banks intentionally bred low odor strains back then, and some amazing work was done in that regard but a lot of special genetics were lost, especially long flowering sativas that weren't as profitable or practical for inexperienced or commercial growers.
Fatt Damon I grew columbian sativa from seed I waited six months for bud ....worth it but a long wait ..and as well skunk weed was huge . Wish I still had those strains 🏝
@@chrisirving8712 hell yeah man sounds awesome, I would give anything to get back some of the seeds that were lost between myself and my dad not realizing what they would be worth in the future.
I got a crackhead to buy me and 2 of my buddies a case of Budweiser in 2001 and he just asked for 2 beers and we went on our way to party at a park. That time I was 17
Right after I split with my ex-wife I spent a TON of time in either the bar, or the strip club, and oh yeah, if you spend enough time around shady people you're gonna see a LOT of shady shit... I was friends with the DJ at the strip club, and it was a mafia run club, so saw guys come in sit around a table in the VIP lounge drinking high dollar booze while a stripper is kneeling in front of dude uh "servicing" him. And he's just carrying on conversation with the other dudes around the table, like he doesn't have a very attractive young lady with her head bobbing away in his lap, and that's just one of dozens of stories I could tell. Lol, some of us were lucky to live through our youth 😂
I don't think you guys are weird. If anything, this makes me think that you guys are normal because you've done some crazy shit just like the rest of us 🤣.
