If Billy Joel's "old friend" is performing comedy for Los Angeles audiences, let's hope dat he actually appears on stage when he's scheduled to, rather than habitually "giving them da stand-up routine".

Where you do something for someone without being asked, and then try to throw it back in their face by demanding either payment or an unreasonable favor in return.
Two classic examples of shameless "pre-favoring" are:
(1) Offering to buy a girl lunch and then afterwards pressuring her to have sex with you --- or at least allow you to touch her intimately --- in return.
(2) Voluntarily performing some household chore like sweeping or snow-shovelling, and then telling the homeowner that he is now obligated to either give you cash or buy you a pack of cigarettes as payment for your labors.

The practice of a female’s either showing a man “The Merchandise” or letting him feel her up in exchange for his assistance. Often mentioned in the case of a normally-modest/celibate female who does not want to expose herself but feels that she may have no choice at the time because she really needs the male’s immediate help but possesses no money or other "acceptable" way to presume to expect said male to exert himself on her behalf.
Roomie #1: Yo! It's eleven p.m., Girl! Where ya been?
Roomie # 2: Oh, had a flat tire, hunny, 'way out in the boonies! Lucky for me that country boy stopped by on his ATV and changed it for me!
Roomie #1: He did it for FREE?!?? You told me you were outta foldin' money.
Roomie # 2: Yeah, I know --- hadda give him a little tit-for-tat first.

"Opening one's wallet/handbag" to convince someone to agree to your wishes; i.e., cash bribery. A usually-super-unwise practice nutritious for its use by grandparents and/or aunts/uncles to get da family's small fry to behave, submit to basic/routine/necessary/reasonable discomforts, delays, ordeals, etc., often causing said point-sized brats to become even more spoiled and expecting to always be rewarded for even minimal tolerance and socially-acceptable behavior.
I hear dat petty crime, lack of personal care, and other serious misbehavior among da teen population is of such epidemic proportions in some areas dat da authorities are actually resorting to purseuasion in their attempts to reduce said social indolence. Sounds to me like a mostly counterproductive choice of action, since handing out cash-payments as an incentive for simply "being good" will likely only further instill da "Why should I overly exert myself to practice moral responsibility merely because it's the correct thing to do?" mindset dat is already ingrained in said juvenile delinquents' lazy brains! Oh, don't get me wrong --- I am indeed all for rewarding good behavior, but not like THAT --- a healthier way would be to have it be a "delayed gratification" (i.e., something nice that they will receive a few years "down the road") incentive like a partial/full scholarship, lower auto-insurance rates, a break in property/income-taxes, being exempted from "snack-food tax", etc.

Refers to junk food that has been "junkified" from "four-to-five", indicating that it was so artificially desecrated, and processed for so long a time, that it is now almost totally devoid of original structure or nutritive value.
Junk-food junkie: Yo, dude --- want some of my chips 'n' dip?
Health-food hippie: No thanks, bud --- no offense, but I'd rather not mess up my dietary regimen with any fortifived foods.
