Oh, last night it was packed. It's been packed all week. It's been really fun.

A lot of fun shows, you know.

Chains was there last night or the night before last. You know, you're there tonight. It's been amazing. Holtzman is on fire.

He's great.

Holtzman's on fire. Last night he was on a fire.
Joey Diaz (0:41)
He is fucked.
Joe Rogan (0:41)
Me and Adam Eaget were howling. We were watching him from the balcony and howling. Such a good community, Joey.
SPEAKER_6 (0:48)
It's so nice out here.
Joey Diaz (0:49)
You know, I bumped into Duncan for breakfast.
Joe Rogan (0:51)
He's the best.
Joey Diaz (0:52)
Like, we just looked at each other. He's like, what are you doing here? And we sat down.
Joe Rogan (0:56)
Me and Duncan are gonna corner you and try to get you to move here.
Joey Diaz (0:58)
No, we're gonna figure that.
Joe Rogan (1:00)
Yeah, you belong here.
Joey Diaz (1:02)
Every time I come down here, I see something else that... Like, I had a great time last night.
Joe Rogan (1:06)
Joe DeRose is here now, too.
Joey Diaz (1:07)
That's what I heard.
Joe Rogan (1:08)
Yeah, he just moved here.
Joey Diaz (1:09)
Is he gonna bring the sandwich shop down here?
Joe Rogan (1:10)
Yes, he is. We're gonna open up a sandwich shop out here. He is, rather.
Joey Diaz (1:13)
That's a good fucking idea.
Joe Rogan (1:14)
I say we because I'm gonna be eating here.
Joey Diaz (1:16)
Yeah, he makes good sandwiches.
Joe Rogan (1:17)
He makes a very good sandwich, very good sandwich. Yeah. He brought a bunch of... What did he do? Was it Moon Tower last year that he brought him? It might have been. It was Moon Tower or South by Southwest. One of the two last year, he brought like a ton of sandwiches. He had a pop up. So his restaurant did a pop up somewhere in Austin.
SPEAKER_6 (1:34)
I was like, bro, you got to open this up here.
Joe Rogan (1:36)
You'd be killing it, especially if it's you. People know it's your business.
Joey Diaz (1:41)
Because I've heard somebody else was telling me about the sandwiches.
SPEAKER_6 (1:43)
Very legit.
Joey Diaz (1:44)
I got to go up there.
Joe Rogan (1:45)
Very legit.
Joey Diaz (1:45)
I just don't even know where it is. I don't know if it's in Brooklyn.
Joe Rogan (1:48)
I want to kidnap my man Giovanni in White Plains.
SPEAKER_6 (1:50)
Bring him out here.
Joe Rogan (1:52)
He can't survive outside of Italian neighborhoods though. That guy is the most Italian guy that's ever lived.
Joey Diaz (1:58)
They get their stuff up there.
SPEAKER_6 (2:00)
Yeah, they get everything.
Joe Rogan (2:01)
It's all coming in right from Italy. Because a lot of it's imported. They use a lot of imported stuff. Imported mortadella, imported peppers, all that stuff that they have. Sun-dried peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, they import all that shit.
SPEAKER_6 (2:15)
They got to get that shit.
Joe Rogan (2:17)
Because if it goes there, and then it's got to ship from the boat all the way to Texas, it's a little bit of a pain in the ass.
Joey Diaz (2:23)
But remember fucking Greasy Tony? He used to drive once a month to New Jersey.
SPEAKER_6 (2:26)
Oh, Greasy Tony.
Joey Diaz (2:27)
And get coke cuts and fucking chicken cutlets. Poor Greasy Tony.
Joe Rogan (2:32)
We used to visit him every time we went to Tempe. He was our guy.
Joey Diaz (2:36)
Remember you said not to drink his Mountain Dew because he made it himself.
SPEAKER_7 (2:39)
He was out for two days.
Joey Diaz (2:40)
He used to make it. That was the strongest Mountain fucking Dew you could ever taste in your life. You were up for a darker day.
Joe Rogan (2:47)
Greasy Tony was such a character. He was such a character. He became our friend.
Joey Diaz (2:52)
Yeah, he was a good dude.
Joe Rogan (2:53)
When we first started going there, we were visiting for like 10 fucking years. Every time we would do shows in town, we'd go visit Greasy Tony.
