In the end her blood sugar dropped too low from alchohol withdrawal and we made it.

His mother calling his name toward the end is a profound mystery which is unaddressed. She might have been calling him to talk as usual, or calling for him to help with whatever it was that caused her death; or perhaps her calling was his hallucination on the acid [she was already dead]. This is one of those stories that lives right on the edge of tragedy and comedy. It could be told with almost all the same scenes and word choices as a tragedy, the difference is his attitude. Amazing. [edited for clarity]

[@noisepuppet]

The peak of this story hits so hard and blunt that you forget what he was talking about before, and then he does the callback to the setup, which closes the loop. This is perfect structure, and he knows that, and he knows we know. So just in case we think it's all contrived, he says, "you think I'm fkn kidding you? That was my first thought" etc. And we realize he's not kidding. He's just shown us something about himself that most of us would hide, all the time, even from ourselves, let alone a room full of strangers. And there's a point to the story, and speaking for myself, I'll never forget it. The perfect structure is craft, and the emotional courage makes it art. What a master storyteller. I was always too chicken to do it like that.

This story reminds me of a similar one from Saving Private Ryan. Where the soldiers are in a church at night getting a respite from the war. One of the soldiers begins confessing: "Sometimes my mom would come home early. But I would pretend to be asleep. She'd stand in the doorway looking at me, but I'd just keep my eyes shut. But I knew she just wanted to find out about my day. That she came home early just to talk to me. But I still wouldn't move, I'd still pretend to be asleep. ...I don't know why I did that."

Every few months I can watch Joey Diaz' stories & am captivated every time.

I’d play that game.

Imagine gta 6 was tied to mafia in the 80s or earlier. Maybe in the northeast states like nj and your in mafia or you fight them eventually. That would actually be interesting for the mafia series instead

No matter what do not watch Superjail. Seems like a good idea on paper but it is sensory overload turned up to infinity to the power of the sun squared.

Diaz is a great podcast guest & funny AF human being. As a stand up, he really is the pitts.

Uncle joey has endless story’s everyone wilder than the last, he manages to make us laugh while conveying a message/ lesson, I can’t imagine how he felt/feeling finding your mom like that, and yet he still finds a way to get his point across while making other people laugh… such an amazing man he is..

[@zgammozakent7871]

He's the last of a dying breed and this hypersensitive era of political correctness is only thinning out the heard to near extinction... We must appreciate every moment we've had and be thankful for however many more the future has for us... because there will come a time that his outlook on life and unique way of delivering it, will be extinct and labeled as a lost art... N unfortunately, most people won't realize how much they appreciate it, untill it's gone... I hope Joey gets as many of his flowers he possibly can b4 he transitions, cause people like him are constantly overlooked & underappreciated until it's too late, when they really deserve to live a long & rewarding life... One that allows them to motivate & inspire others with a troubled past, by being proof that anyone can learn from their mistakes and make a positive change... There's alot of troubled people in the world who feel completely alone and crazy, that actually find comfort when they hear someone like Joey talk, because they find out they're not the only one who thinks the way they do and that it's possible to have that state of mind along with a troubled past and still make a change for the better... Uncle Joey is like a councilor for a those at the very bottom, who delivers his unqiue message through laughter, but in all actuality he's doing God's work as a comfort provider, Even moreso in these uncertain times.... God bless you Uncle Joey, I hope you understand how much you mean to alot of us and I hope you get as many of your flowers as you possibly can b4 you leave this madhouse and start the next level of your eternal journey...

Joey " I took the elevator like a doctor" Diaz

[@victoriabaker4400]

I love that story, I have never forgotten it, and I was already intending to watch it again after this vid. Last I watched it was a couple years ago.

[@cp_digital]

Loved the story. Joey probably should have ended it after he said "I touched her pulse and I knew she would never find out I got left back" the crowd was pretty much in shock after he dropped that line on them 😂😂😂

[@kevinr.3542]

The part of me that loves absurd humor agrees but the human part of me understands why he needed to pad the ending a bit. The audience was pretty mortified.

[@Z3sty367]

Think it was great, cold roughness then smoothed it out with warm unity.

[@shannonblood5882]

Smoothed it out with, "Cried like a pussy." : )

Would've been too cold. I don't think the humor was lost.

That’s what makes Joey Diaz one of the greatest in standup history. If they had a hall of fame for Comedians, Joey would be in the hall between George Carlin and Sam Kinison.

These series about comedians stories are fit perfectly for joey because he’s literally the funniest just when he is explaining any story of his

[@AllenH718]

Probably the most underrated comedian to date.. in the late 80s early 90s he would have been a legend.

[@carleanolibretto5184]

In the 80’s and 90’s was collecting all the stories he tells today tho
