Joe Rogan: How Bad Is New York City Compared To LA??

you're hanging out with guys that you like and you're just out and meeting anybody you want and you're in New York City you're like living Miles Davis's life yeah it was even worse than that somebody was trying to get out of pool halls too oh yeah so that was my pool hall days so all day long this is what my day was I'd wake up whenever I'd go to the gym I'd get a workout in and then I would go to the pool and I would go to the pool hall in the afternoon and I'd hang out with the guys we'd play pool we'd talk [ __ ] we'd have some lunch or whatever and then I'd go do shows so I do shows at night and then I come back to the pool hall at midnight one o'clock in the morning and it would be packed and those [ __ ] animals would be in there gambling and talking [ __ ] and doing drugs and they would stay up till five six o'clock in the morning and then we would go to the Star Diner in Mount Vernon New York and we'd eat cheeseburgers like a cheeseburger deluxe it was a cheeseburger with like coleslaw on it and pickles and onions and then I go to sleep and I wake up and do it all again so I had this life of just like being around these degenerate Bachelors yeah they were fun people with great stories and they were always gambling everybody was gambling and we're just playing pool all the time and to this girl who's telling me don't play that music I don't like that music I go well what do you like like she was just like everything was like you know I remember don't chew that way don't do this don't do that especially New York because it was wide open and it was infinite and open all night and I remember those early years in my 20s living in New York and I would do sets till four in the morning sometimes yeah like the The Improv on 44th and 9th a lot was like the last set was like 350. on a Saturday it was something crazy like that how many people in the audience not not like no but like barely anybody but you kept going you know just all night shows like I had a motorcycles because you could get to shows faster through traffic you do eight nine shows a night um and then you just get paid cash and you're I mean it was a great life and then me and uh uh like Kevin Brennan and and David tell and a guy named Dan Vitale who just passed away and a few other guys used to go to the diner on the Westway Diner on 9th Avenue and the Westway was um all the street came into Westway like everybody that's out hustling you know Midtown in Times Square and back then Times Square was still filthy and uh so there were Vice there was always like a table of Vice cops and then like a table of transvestite hookers and they're out on the street they're after each other but everybody goes to the same Diner so it's like Wiley Coyote it's like why the coyote and the whatever dog and they they punch in yeah how you doing buddy Sam yeah yeah it was like that and and the cops always had their guns show you know their shoulder holster gun show and there'd be a table of comics wow and we would just sit there and eat [ __ ] Greek food and uh you know and just hang out and watch this weird you know I was so happy that I was just so happy it's such a fun time yeah you know you don't really know what's gonna happen you you hope that you make it you hope you can continue to make a living yeah but it's such a fun time of complete freedom I you know I really enjoyed that I loved it it was enough to pay my rent in New York City and at the time I liked New York City a little more than I do now because there was more like cool stuff like bookstores and Tower Records and there was more movie theaters and yeah it was more Off the Wall culture and strange stuff to see and and more restaurants and diners not there's really not all night diners in Manhattan anymore there isn't there's they're gone like me and Bobby Kelly when we were getting ready to do his special uh I went to watch him at the cellar and then I said let's go to a diner and talk it over and we walked rather couldn't find one they all club and they closed at like midnight now is that because of crime well Cove had killed a lot of places I mean it really just really distinctly changed the city and it's it's thriving New York it's really like there are sometimes I'd hear people talking on your show and other shows saying like this city New York City is dead and it's dangerous and I'm like well I don't know we're here like it's okay it's a very resilient City it's been through a lot yeah but just the [ __ ] sheer numbers yeah there's so many people someone's gonna pick up slack yeah somebody's business will fail a lot of businesses fail cats is Deli's still open right sure that's open late I don't know how late they're open I think they're open till like two or three they might be there that place is amazing I love it that's my favorite New York place to eat late night it hasn't changed you give them your the ticket and then the guy yeah you're paying cash yeah paying cash and the guy gives you a little piece of pastrami while you're waiting yep and you take him yeah and then you take these fat chunks of pastrami on rye back to you and a big pick oh my God so good it's very last time I was there I ran into Jeff Ross I'm like this is the perfect place for you yeah yeah Cat's dog contestant opened 24 hours that's right [ __ ] yeah yeah that's it that's that's all that's left that's what you want God I want to fly there right now and go eat it's so good the brisk it everything's great [ __ ] the fries are good and they've been open since like the 1800s look at that sandwich forever look at that [ __ ] beautiful oh so good it's such a classic Jewish delicatessen yep just classic there used to be a bunch more there was a place called ratners on Delancey that was better Jerry's but it's going under in L.A yeah they all that's a sad covet killed Jerry's Deli yeah Jerry's Deli was incredible I [ __ ] loved that place I used to stop at well the one in Woodland Hills went under before uh covet but I used to stop there on the way home for The Comedy Store and call my wife I'm like look I'm going to Jerry's Deli what do you want nice pastrami Reuben bowl soup and we'd eat together I said it was amazing that's so much fun that's great yeah it was like such a good Jerry's Deli was such a good place to meet people too like yeah let's go talk about we'll go meet at Cherry's Deli go sit there go over jokes yeah sure yeah yeah that kind of stood on I mean uh probably younger Generations have their own version of that but ours I guess we're 55 so there's less of us most people our age are pretty settled they're not going out anymore but the thing about the delis in for me was always the history it wasn't just that the food was amazing it's like this place has been here since 1875. this place has been here since 1946. it's like there's like canters is another yeah they still have that in L.A you can still go to Canada I remember going to Canada's and seeing uh I was with a comedian uh her name was Felicia Michaels you remember yeah remember Felicia I was hanging out with Felicia and we went to cantors and uh I had it was my first time in LA and uh Jackie Mason was there oh wow and uh he I just watched him check her ass out he just checked out Felicia's ass with that kind of like he nodded he nodded at her ass like she's standing she had no idea well Jackie Mason was a guy who got he got kicked off of The Ed Sullivan Show because Ed Sullivan claimed that he gave him the finger yes and so he got banned from television yeah because he I went to the um to the Museum of broadcasting or whatever it is in New York where they have like all the archives because I wanted to see that tape because I read his description of it and I saw it what is it did he give him the finger no what happened wasn't it the way he tells the story is that uh he was doing his set and I guess Ed was kind of uh uh I don't know he's a little nutty and he wanted him off he didn't he wanted him to quit to stop he wanted to get him off early or something and so he got behind the camera and he was giving him uh two minutes it was like giving him a like himself and and Jackie's trying to do his set and he goes what do you show me a finger here's a figure you want a finger here's a couple fingers for you like he just sort of like flashed fingers around because Ed Sullivan was showing him like making finger signs at him that he didn't understand
