The Joe Rogan experience I can do a lot.
In 1975 $1000 with two kids my grandmother was obsessed with the numbers yeah she was obsessed and she would always have like a number in her head that she thought it was gonna be and it was like one off or something like that it was like these stories she would tell you what would you say that what can say I was like five I just remember it very distinctly my grandmother who went to jail for running numbers in New Jersey she wouldn’t rat him out so they put her in jail and so she made gave sweaters to the guards mrs. D she’s the nicest lady did you feel like your grandmother at that time what did you think we didn’t find out until I was probably like I wonder when I found out I think maybe I found out my teenage years and I was like why what the people would go to see her like where’s uh I don’t want to say my grandma’s name and respect but people would say you know where is she and oh she went to visit her cousin or she wants to see her aunt and she’s you know she was in the pokey for like six months I forget how much time it was but every time we go over those like some do.
Excuse see the New Jersey that put you in New Jersey they put you in jail for gambling at New Hotel New york city don’t they give you a ticket you know they would give you like a ticket and in those days I don’t know what it’s like now this look Lori and Jeff will we’d know in New Store New york city I don’t know my grandmother was one of the few people I’ve ever known or I legitimately thought they had intuition she’s weird intuition she would do it’s real weird like when my mother was a kid there was a rainstorm I was like real bad rainstorm and for whatever reason my grandmother decided to wake my mother up take her out of her bed and bring her downstairs some crazy hunch she had the ceilings collapse like right above the bed where my mom’s sleeping so like pieces of you know it wasn’t a lot it was just chunks of plaster but like you know three or four pretty significant pieces of plaster fell off of the ceiling it was rain came through it the whole deal like the ceiling gave out somehow or another she had this idea in her head could be because she knew that the ceiling was up and she knew it.
Was raining our there’s probably gonna give in anyway or she might have had intuition my fault everyone was always convinced it was intuition everyone’s always convinced like she’s a little bit sidekick it was always no a month in New Jersey yes in North New Jersey she had a monkey named chichi and she would bite everybody but grandma my grandfather made to keep the monkey in the Attic you know my grandma was she had a monkey would open up packages of gum and chew gum know how or where the she got it I’m telling you my grandma was crazy Italian people had butchers in those days and they get you anything she probably gave a pigeon she kept a monkey in the house man do you understand how crazy now you remember the monkey yes chichi the monkeys name was Pizza Hut cheesy bite now you never bit me but he bit my sister you bet my sister yeah chichi would you up I think he bit my sister I think he tried to bite my sister I think was one of those he might have bit my cousin someone our family got bit yeah she was crazy and once you give no disrespect but once you give those lunatics that.
Option that they do have intuition you’re done they start giving you the fish eyes who don’t do you gotta listen to her cooking was from another planet it’s from another planet it was like pure immigrant cooking like pasta the you just sit there and go holy perfect just knew exactly what’s supposed to be in there she baked her own like she would make her own macaroni should make her own ravioli she was stuff her own ravioli she’d be out there rolling and flattening out flour and throwing the flour on top of flatten it out she was a wizard so he should get a monkey call it cheese got monk being keeper here dog how the respect for my grandma was a special lady she was powerful yeah once you give us like I listen when I was a kid man I went to my buddy’s Choi’s Taekwondo judo school I didn’t join I just went down there to see what it was like and it was hidden in New Jersey union city it was on 7th Street but I knew that my stepdad Clash Royale played cards on 9th Street on Wednesday Wow okay I knew my stepdad Bin Laden played cards down and they.
Played baccarat okay and they’ve gamble in this little Club and I had to be maybe ten but because I grew up how I grew up but the numbers I always had my eyes out as a kid when I went to judo that man at the end I got on the bus to go back and I noticed Gta 5 unmarked police cars and I went home that night and look bro you know me dawg get Christie love used to be a show on ABC about a black chick that new martial arts that tried to capitalize on it with a sister and she was good-looking with an afro when she was a cop and she’d come in and do karate more so on Wednesday nights at 9 or 10 o’clock you caught me at home watching get Christie look I’ll never forget that my stepdad was leaving that night and for some reason I know you don’t apply back around to that and he looked at me was getting dressed a suit on yeah like the Billy batts suit on and I think you’re gonna play cards or five men why you getting dressed to the nines right and I said to him I said hey man today I went down there go to Martin judo school and I saw a bunch of more cars down there if I was you I wouldn’t go out to that and he just looked at me he said I love you and.
He walked down the stairs he got the car started they opened the garage bro and ten minutes later I heard the car turned off and the garage closed and he came up because I think you’re right and he made Sundays for me him and next one in that card place I got raided so now they would listen to me I was except I had these morons under my spell but you want me to tell when was I did y’all robbing like this is mean like me and my stepdad had this weird relation to an age where I my mother for myself you know what the feeling is child when we’ve all gone through it when you lose a dad and your mom remarries that comes up a day that he’s not gonna tell you what’s going on anymore and you know what I just want you to know that I’m the that runs this joint you might be sleeping with my mom but I run this so once I gave him that advice like it really for a while they him and I were going afloat I kept stealing his coins from his Santa he had this San l zaro thing and that was everything to him so he had this big bottle of like scotch that was empty he.
Would put silver dollars in there and I would steal him and from to time he would come home and all that bottles looking like somebody’s stealing my cup I destroyed his mind for years because he was a very particular man so he had different bundles of might I gotta tell you something I respect him today because I saw him get out of the joint and I saw what he did with bookmaking and how he became partners on a butcher he started businesses he started different businesses so after I saved this that night with the bacharach he wouldn’t listen to me and then one day I went and I’d signed up for bida basketball and you didn’t city and they used to give you know like now if you signed your kid up you gotta pay $80 and write those days you just show up with an address right and they gave you a t-shirt they put you on the team and he gave me a number they sound like you necessary Department of Recreation and was a Color Tie purple shirt my number was 57 I walked in the house and he goes what do you got there and know I joined the basketball thing and he goes what number is it he goes 57 Cubans.
Again a very superstitious 57 he goes put a number on that and he picked up the phone I go five he called some guy and he was gonna be 557 for $10 guess what happens your rug what happened the number came up no I really had him under my spell right the address had this at the age of 12 so he would listen to me how’s a guy my stepfather one at the time was 47 venturing imagine did not drink did not do drugs carried a straight razor joe rogan straight rays do cut people yeah in SI here used to cut use the web carpet the pants with the stray rays at this point the guy had money he would have a gold chain he wear a chinese t-shirt which a lot of people do not know what it is that’s what real pimps wear their silk handmade shirts from china that you wear and they have three little buttons but when you’re a real motherfucking spic you cut those buttons and you get your initials and you put them in gold with diamonds in it that’s how spics ran in those days whoa and once I had him there Joe Rogan I had him he trusted me he trusted my eyes so one night were in High School union city and I went somewhere on the walk back.
There’s a place called pastoral music and there was next to the new moon Chinese restaurant and I saw a bunch of Sewing Machine home mark cars and I’ll never forget that I went back to the bar and he thought I told him I said dog I saw three I’m like I had him right and I gonna say I seen three of my cars up to corner he was very always scared of a fault even though he was a bookmaker he never used the phone Joe Rogan never used the phone and he would never have a conversation cause tour phone this is because he always felt he didn’t now light phones he did everything like a pigeon his he would write the numbers on a little piece of paper real small and fold them up and put him in his hat and if he ever saw cops he would just eat the piece of paper didn’t give a he always had the piece of paper somewhere close sometimes you put in ring this was a savage though oh my god so that night the cops were gonna jump us on the bar but it was for a drug thing it wasn’t for him but when I went back I told him listen the cops are off the corner me and him he grabbed me by the hand him and I walked from 29th and Nj Transit bergen line to 58.
And Light Rail bergen line down the Hudson telling different bar owners at the gonna be a raid like that’s how untrustworthy he was a phone’s by the time we got back to the bar we got raided and there was a dude in there his name was right moneena is those crazy Cubans that I but qua moneena means good man like y’all my bra yeah the Abba quality they don’t be pussy and they you can’t around with animals because they say Lazzaro no sure they have a very specific religion yeah they have their men it’s a manhood they were longshoreman in Cuba and they Java List maintain order so we have up they come over and you up they were but he had a wig I’ll never forget this the guy moneena had a wake and the cops were there and they threw him I’m like 12 dog I’m up against the wall they searched me through they’re searching my stepdad they got my mom and they went to moneena and they searched him the complex of his work and he goes check the wig and they pulled the wig off and he had a little book making numbers world is.
