1084: The Wild Life of Joey Ferrari

Super entertaining and intriguing… and sad.

Great work by Tron and DJ. Had to have been a bit uncomfortable at times, thought the Pie man leveraged some agency really well with referencing his personality and being so high octane in all ways and Tron asked some great direct questions “so were you still playing?” “Were you still using at this point?” “Why did you go in when you were a fugitive?” Etc

The way he talked about meth and coke, I agree, were shocking. Everyone handles recovery differently but it just did not seem like he respects the hold meth had on him that brought down his whole life. He sounded like he has a reverence for it still. You see comedians make light of their addictions with plenty of self effacing darkness… this wasn’t that.

having watched part one of charlie sheen’s doc and listening to this today, it’s quite obvious that some people are just insanely lucky and some people aren’t. if joey ferrari took one extra wrong turn, he’s dead. same with charlie sheen. just crazy stuff that i can’t even fathom.

A lot of things.

A player in the masters?

Also maybe a murderer? Accepting guns instead of cash? No one being dead because of that decision is lucky also.

That’s why it’s such a compelling story.

Finally finished this interview.

It was thoughtful, well done, but I came away really disliking Joey.

He seems pretty unrepentant when it comes to his past crimes and relationships with this kids.

If he’s not totally full of shit, he was pushing serious weight of hard drugs into his community before he went to prison.

Take all of that into account and he still gets to be awesome at golf. It’s not fair.
