He was definitely there. I was in woody creek and Snowmass and aspen in the mid-80’s doing construction. Henley & Johnson both had places in woody creek; did projects for both. WCT for lunch nearly every day back then and it was a shack - the food was excellent!!! Good times for sure.
yeah im kinda glad we didnt grow up with tik toc/instagram etc and camera phones.. the amount of embarrassing stuff, the fights, the teasing etc would have been on another level.. ..plus finding a dirty magazine or touching a boob was like the holy grail.. now kids in their 20's need boner pills cause they've been so desensitized
So you would bet your life on it but hedge your bet with even if he did it would be insignificant . Either you are in or out. Make your bet chief.@@Vub.
Yep.. but rent there is crazy.. It was for the town of Aspen, a closed off little ski town... Tiny town made for ski vacations for the highest end rich people. Same happens at Davos or even Jackson Hole NW of Aspen in Wyoming. The rest of the year the workers mostly leave
@@bullschitt3666 did you know what I meant? So you just enjoy being pedantic? I'd guess this kind of comment is why you have few friends if any and they all kinda suk.
Him walking in front of a building/city/place and starting a story and then the “camera” switches and we see what he is telling!! I would love to see that!
I did the same for a few years. The whole CN Tower and Skydome area of Toronto. Until some crackhead lit my plow on fire while I was shoveling stairs and I got fired 😅
Same exact job right now 30 years later pays only one dollar more per hour. Cost of living like 500x since the 80s. You guys had it so good in those days
That’s every mountain town unfortunately. I live in the Canadian Rockies and it’s either vacation mansions that sit empty 8 months out of the year or 8 Aussie kids living in a house together, 2-4 per room. Fucking hate these people
:40..….I live in Denver and when Joe asked Joey if he been to Aspen lately i mentally gave that same answer he did. Its up scale like Bev Hills, NYC and etc. Their target market for their tourism is rich ppl from other parts of the US and world. They could care less about local Coloradians visiting.
Joeys mother must be like a cat with nine lives , because she died when he was 11, she died when he was 12, died when he was 13 , died when he was 14 , died when he was 15 , and now apparently died when he was 16
Lol. I had a friend who I knew in high school and college who was a snowboarder bum. He was also a thief. He moved to Aspen in the mid-90’s and he became a ski instructor and also robbed rich peoples’ houses. He ended up getting busted and did about four months in the local jail. The jail food came from the local restaurants. It was hardly jail at all. Good ‘ol Screwy Louie! Don’t know where he is now.
you outta, shit was different back then dude, magic was real, shit was happening and people were cool, idk what tf happed to us, late 90s shit got ruff, people changed
@@sitindogmasit was the 80’s and people were getting paid $15/hour to shovel snow. You could live a pretty comfortable life in the 80s on that kind of money.
1983 I worked the Gondola in Vail Village. I was 20. In a year I sat on 2-person lift chairs with: Redford, Howard Head, Phil Maher, Diane Keaton, Joe Torre, and John Cougar. This was when the Mexican Peso had value and the gals were amazing.
My uncle John painted the mural on John Denvers Wall in California to look like his vista from his rocky mnt. Home . He painted with a spatula and his paintings look 3D. Before there was 3D .
People used to put alcohol in the snow banks then leave and when the snow melted we'd be out driving around or riding bikes with backpacks. I worked at the YMCA of the Rockies in Winter Park for a year
Ahhh, the Colorado of ole when people more Libertarian minded and everyone minded their own business and did their own thing. Now it's turned into Cali 2.0 and is a damn nanny state.
Yes because he sounds realistic & doesn't sound exaggerating, the wildness to his stories is simply how much of a Savage freak he is which is pretty self deprecating, why lie how bad you are.. most people lie about how great & awesome they are🤷♂️
He always sounds like he has 9 pounds of phlegm in his throat. His assistant: Please clear your throat and blow your nose. Diaz:No, I’m saving it for later. I’ll put it on my Nachos when I leave the show.
My husband and I skipped aspen most of the time. We didn’t ski. We went to Telluride, Ouray and Silverton riding dirt bikes and four wheeling. Amazing times. Durango, Cortez…..beautiful places back then. Wild and stunning. Now Telluride is a smaller Aspen. Very expensive to ski there. Still fabulously beautiful. Just to many people. I lived and played in Boulder. I had no idea the Uncle Joey connection to Colorado.
I stopped believing Joey around Hunter S Thompson and then he says like 12 more names before mentioning Sandler to cap the lies in a lil moment that’s probably still a lie.
I lived in Aspen throughout most of the 90s. What a time to be alive. It was an insanely fun town full of awesome, crazy characters, and although expensive you could make ends meet. Sad to see what it’s become. I’m glad I was able to experience Aspen when I did.
@@thatdude3977I’m half native my dads parents were from a reservation and I get sick of y’all white knighting we’re still here and we don’t need your pity.
80s,90s were so loose. We used just buy a plane ticket to a random country abroad. No other plans, no reservations and it always worked. I only once had to sleep in a train station. If we couldn't get into youth hostel, we would find some back street 0 star hotel that we could afford. Stayed in a few brothels by accident but met some interesting people and had our minds broadened.
ALWAYS say "fuck it, I'll go for a drive" when that opportunity comes. Most people are trying to MAKE that opportunity happen their whole lives and come up short.
I went to aspen back in 2014 and stayed with a friend and his roommates. First hour there, one of his roomies busts out coke right on the table and starts to snort it. Was so wild. That South Park aspen episode is all I was thinking about
Imagine Joey Diaz shoveling snow now. 2 minutes in, you'd hear an explosion, and all that would be left is a shovel, some gummies, and a snowbank covered in blue cheese.
We used to go up to Snowmass/Aspen in the 80s and ski in bikinis. It was just a quick drive from Grand Junction. So many stories about Jack Nicholson and John Denver getting hammered and driving drunk, in all the local newspapers. Some pretty great parties at Barbie Benton's house and the Caribou Club
