What's up everybody and welcome back to your favorite hour of the day. Anything better episode nine with myself Paul Berzy, Bill Burr. We are here on a beautiful, beautiful spring day. I love how those people always bring weather into it, dude. But I got to tell you, it's been amazing here in New York. Got a lot of stuff to talk about, Bill. I'm a little fired up with the, I had this. Can I just address something before we even get going? Yeah.

I've never seen you wear Adidas gear ever. This is like seeing Jordan wearing Adidas. You never wear Adidas gear ever this is like this is like seeing jordan wearing adidas you you never wear ad i love adidas dude did i i gotta show you what a fan made me check this out all right and what's funny i'm wearing nike this guy these are custom stan smiths they're green in the back it looks yellow now and uh and it says versi and graffiti oh that's fucking killer man yeah dude uh this dude adam at chaz customs man he made him so anyway um but no i i love the rod labors i love the um stan smiths and uh. Yeah, I like the old. Adidas hasn't had a good sneaker in a long fucking time. It's all about their old stuff.

But their sweatsuits and shit are nice. Their hoodies, their long sleeve. But I had this on the calendar, man. I mean, I marked this down when this happened. We got to talk about it. Dude, the fact thatrick ewing was not only stopped at madison square garden but he said accosted and basically treated as he was like being disruptive at madison square garden it would be unacceptable of me not to start this show

without saying what the fuck? And you know me, I'm not one of these jump on Dolan. Dolan's the worst. Listen, he's not my favorite, but I don't think he's the fucking problem. I just think the fact that he's a billionaire, owns a cable company and plays in a band makes people upset because the fucking Knicks aren't his whole thing. But how many guys are seven feet tall that look like Patrick Ewing wearing a Georgetown fucking jumpsuit walking in there

for the Big East tournament are there? It's an absolute. Yo, I was so disgusted. And then looking at his face going, is my number not up there? Like, what's going on here? It was. How surprised were you? I mean, with that one, dude. I mean, how many guys are seven? What's going on here? How surprised were you?

I mean, with that one, dude? I mean, how many guys are 70? They fucking carried Charles Oakley out of the place a few years ago. They almost fucking tased him. That's what I said. I go, what's next? They're going to beat the shit out of Bernard King next? They did it to Spike Lee, too. But Patrick.

Spike Lee keeps the Knicks going. That guy buys 80% of the merch that's sold for the Knicks every year, without a doubt. If you're an employee of Madison Square Garden, your fucking orientation should be a video of Patrick Ewing. You shouldn't be able to fucking... Wait, wait, but those are union guys, too. I feel like a lot of those guys were around.

They should have known i mean do a lot of say you know the deal dude you play madison square garden right you play it then as you're walking out they're changing the marquee the man left the building you're not making his money anymore we don't know you you're talking about one of the top 50 players of all time carried that fucking building on his shoulders for fucking almost two decades i mean i just have to mention he's been an assistant coach in the nba forever so he comes to that building a couple times a year right oh my god sitting there as a fan as a coach his number is up in the fucking sky i mean it was

i don't even know what to say but people needed to be definitely uh and then he you know dolan called him and he he did the right thing you could tell you know that dolan knew somebody fucked up because when patrick talked the second time he goes no no it's like i think that they were really like dude let's put this away we're gonna people are getting fired don't worry heads are gonna roll yeah and not mention, too, like one of the classiest guys. You know what I mean? Just like a total, like, raised right. Yeah.

Good fucking dude. Wow, Paul. Wow. The Mecca. Yeah. Listen, it got me sick. What can I say? It got me sick.

What are you going to do? You know what I mean? The Celtics don't have the best track record with former players either i mean shit bill russell wouldn't even talk to us for like 40 years i still think he he doesn't really so i i was i wanted to tell you something i'm doing something harry bird for some reason didn't come back to round to the front office neither did mikhail danny age danny age got Danny Ainge back. You want to know why? What happens is when a guy feels like he gave his blood, sweat and tears and everything that he had to an organization and is, you know, just his life and the charities. And then unfortunately, there's the end of everything. There's going to be the end of everything. Right. You know, the end of of a career, the end of this podcast no but like there's gonna

be there's always parting ways look how ugly it was with brett farb and green bay it's gonna get ugly again with aaron rogers i could fuck you could feel it by things that are being said and what happens is when that guy that did everything for that franchise feels like fuck them they're like i'm not coming. You know, I think that there's something to that. I think that there's something. Now that you brought up football, I am really scared that football is going to go the way of the NBA where there's this, you know, the Patriots bought, like, I didn't see who they bought, but like, it's becoming, I don't want it to be, I don't want sports to all be about who's got the money to buy all the good guys yeah

like with the nba where you watch the all-star game team lebron versus kevin durant it's just like gee who's gonna be in the finals yeah you know i i just i i uh it's become market it's always been a business or whatever, but it's just become, they just want to market two super teams. Like, uh, let the ocean 11s casts against the ocean 11 part two cast.

And then it just really just makes like the regular season, a foregone conclusion. I hope that they don't do this with the NFL because the NFL does it the best where all of a sudden out of nowhere, teams that suck for a long time, all of a sudden they can be good. Like there's no hopeless NFL fan for the most part. You know what I mean? There's still at least some hope where I feel like in baseball for a long time and certainly in basketball basketball has made a state NBA's made a statement to certain cities that you're just not going to

win one no matter who you draft because you're not gonna be able to hang on to them and they're gonna end up on these upper echelon teams so um just seeing like uh I started hearing that NBA chatter on the NFL channel listening to Michael Irvinvin, who I love, but he was saying like, you got to get him all the pieces he needs. You need to extra have extra. It's just like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are we doing here? I want to watch competition. I don't want to see like, he needs a beast at every position.

Well, then shit, fucking, you know, anybody can win a title that way, right? Is as much as people go, you know, you'd love to, and I know people are going to think I'm taking a jab at the nets here because I always take jabs at Brooklyn and the nets, but in all seriousness, having James Harden, having Kyrie Irving, having Kevin Durant, having guys off the bench who are all stars like DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green, winning that, if the Knicks did that and won, yes, it would be great because the Knicks have had a drought since 73, but there's something fucked up about that, man. And I'm going to tell you something. There was a year that the Yankees had a 220 something million dollar payroll.

And I remember looking at our infield and it was Mark Tashara at first, Robbie Cano at second, Jeter at short, A-Rod at third. And we would go into Kansas City and beat the fuck out of the Royals in May, like eight to one. And I literally tuned out that year because I was like, fuck this, man. It was 2009. What's that? 2009.

It was that era. That was the year that yeah they won the world series dude i'll be honest i i didn't like uh oh wait celtics oh seven red socks when the oh seven red socks signed eric gagne and he granted he was he was off the roids and he almost cost us the division in september but i was just like, I'm not going to watch. At that point, we were like 190, $200 million team. I'm not watching us playing the Colorado Rockies. Right. That was kind of all about like the arms race with the Yankees. I would watch our roided up free agents play your roided up free agents.

But anything after that felt like, you know it just it was a weird thing it was definitely weird other than the first year because we had to break the curse um happy happy uh st patrick's day oh thank you stacy uh stacy's making some fucking she had a whole thing she went to the store she's making corned beef. She's making all the vegetables. She said, Paul, you got to go out and get a Guinness. You got to go. Like, she's like the whole. She tries to rub it in my face a little bit because early on in our marriage, you know, not that I shun St. Patrick's Day, but I was like, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I see it. I see it. All the fucking props I give to you with your greek and italian heritage look at you trying to dance around this paul tell me how uh tell me how you didn't really get into she here's what it was my son was a baby and she put like a green t-shirt on him and i just if for a second i was like let's let's not get crazy here you know i'm sicilian and greek and you know and she's know, and she's like, what the fuck? She's like, and I go.

But you're also Irish, Paul. Yeah. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. I got it. Wow. Wow. No, no, no, no.

Listen, listen. You fucking, what do I call you? A nationalist? No, no, no. This is, this is all I'm saying. What I'm saying is Stacey's like eight things, seven things. She's Finnish. She's Swedish.'s finnish she's swedish she's german she's french canadian she's english and then she has a little irish she was going at it one year i fucked up it's my fault it's my fault but you know

one year i wasn't really about that listen that's here nor there i don't know what it's let's come on let's get to the bottom of what it was about she could have been half irish paul then your kid would be a quarter irish you'd still be saying let's not get crazy here listen like kelly green no you know what oh you're a fucking cunt there is something to that i i have this dumb i I'm a Mediterranean Greek Sicilian kid that I put at a certain place. We went to Ellis Island. We went to Ellis Island with Lucas's class trip. And you could buy flags.

You could buy little flags. You could buy flags. So we came home. You go to Ellis Island, you buy a fucking flag. So I come home with the fucking, know greek and and an italian flag and you know stacy stacy goes i and i go listen i go i didn't they didn't i didn't see all of what you are i didn't want to leave something out they had the italian and greek right there and uh so now her thing is she goes hard she goes hard with saint patrick's Day. Corned beef, sending me out. Good. Sending me out to work.

Tell her I said thank you. You brought it on yourself, Paul. I did. You should have known. You don't go hard at an Irishman. They're going to come back twice as hard the next day. You know this, Paul. I mean, there's been potatoes and fucking corned beef cooking for eight hours in my kitchen.

The whole house smells like it. And I got to take it. I got to take it. And you know what? My kids do have some Irish. But here, I'm doing something. I'm doing something, Bill. And then it's an experiment. And guess who's called? Guess who I'm calling at one o'clock in the morning, whether it works or doesn't. You. Here's what I'm doing, dude. I hope she doesn't listen to this. I'm doing everything. I'm doing everything she wants for like a week i mean when i tell you

everything everything i'm gonna fuck you want me to go to the store yeah what do you want go get again i'll get the kids i'll get whatever you what else you want you want me you're not hoping that you're gonna get a compliment at the end of this i'm just gonna see because i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna log it i'm gonna log it and i'm gonna see after not. I'm going to log it, and I'm going to see after, not like, no, no, why? Because you're going to show her the logbook, and you're going to come off like a psycho. She's going to use that logbook against you.

Jesus, Paul. No, I'm not going to really write something. That'd be funny if I was like, all right, dude, it's March 29th. I'm just saying, I'm going to be... She said she wanted some cookies and cream ice cream. Just for the record, it's 930. I'm not saying I was going to bed, but, you know, I did have my pajama bottoms on.

It was March 19th. I was fucking exhausted and she wanted ice cream. I decided to go to Carvel, get it. I wanted no part of it. I did it right. No, but here's the thing. If I go seven days with everything she wants, dishes done, pick up the kids. Okay. What do you want? You know what? I'll go get a vacuum. I'll vacuum the fuck, whatever. And then all of

a sudden the first fight day eight or nine, guess who? Paulie's got ammo. Paulie's got ammo. I got ammo. Like you said, across the chest. Fucking grenade. What do you mean I don't? Don't. You don't, Paul. Bill, come on, man. You don't because she's going to be the, oh. So you were just doing that.

So when we had a fight, you could fucking bring it up. That's even worse than if you didn't do it. And you're gonna be flipped around in your back for the cover one two three the bell's gonna be ringing you man what happened you're gonna walk into that ring with your greek and italian flag thinking you're coming away with a victory dude she's gonna put you in the small package i'm gonna look like crap she's gonna put you in the small package i'm gonna look like crap she's gonna look like kellen his is can i bet this ball i will bet this in a second you

are gonna lose this how funny would it be and then all of a sudden i look like kellen winslow getting helped off the field i thought i just no you're gonna be like those receiver when they get knocked out over the middle of that one hand going like this. It is going to be beyond a wrap. Well, you know what? You're going to get the call, but Pauly's going to be an angel. Call me. Oh, yeah.

No, because you know me, though. If she does get mad at me, I'm going to throw it at her. What you're going to say is, like like i don't understand what the problem is like you know i you know you asked me to do stuff and i do it you soft play you know you know what since fucking march 17th at 8 a.m i've been then i love how you just you're not allowed to plot i love how you just turned me into Keanu Reeves. What do you mean? Whoa. You're just going to be like sitting on your phone going,

I came back with the ice cream. She didn't say thank you. She just said put it in a bowl. It's not going to end well, Paul. What you're trying to do, you're trying. It's like you're a boxer and she's a brawler, and you want to go to the center ring and brawl with her you can't do it you can't do it like hey but i've been hey i've been losing against the ropes okay you gotta try something that'd be funny if there was like a relationship like analyst like rogan and and and danielormier are going, wow, Paul usually is not a grappler.

But he went into the kitchen and told her he'd go to the store. This should be interesting. You know what you have to do, Paul? I'm telling you, if you want them to hear you, the only way you can do that. You got so serious just now. The only way you can do that with them is to not argue with them, not argue with them, give into what they want, but give off the vibe that you're broken because they're nagging you. Then they back off. That's the only way that they can see what it is that they're doing. You have to put on a performance.

You got to be like, fine, fine. I'll work on that too. I'll work on that too. All right? No, no, no, no. I can't do that. I can't do it. You just sit there like that.

Paul, I'm telling you, it worked. You look like a broken, beaten man. You look like a broken man. But I'm not, Paul. But I'm not. Oh, you're going rope-a-dope? Yeah. The only way that they hear you, if you fucking try to square up with

them they're just gonna they're gonna get that back up and it's not gonna go anywhere and then they're gonna cry you're still gonna fucking apologize but if they sit there yeah come on you would be like all right i guess i need to work on that fine i'll i'll work on that i'll blah blah blah and then they go oh fuck oh he thinks that the all there was only one word in the english language that scares a woman in a relationship. And it's not cunt, like they want you to believe. They make it seem like it's cunt. That's their misdirection.

It's nag. That word scares them. If they think that they're a nag, because that's one of those things where you will walk away. Dude, that's some heavy shit. You feel like you're getting nagged. You will walk away. Their fucking thing is, dude, they want you still fighting on the line. But when they feel you fucking quit, like you don't have anything left, and you're just staring at them like, all right, I'll just, you know.

And they literally, they finally see how unhappy they're making you. I love how you have a 22% chance. I love how you just leaned in and you go, you go, here's what you do. You know what it was like? It was like the phone call I give you is going to be the equivalent of between rounds when I'm in the corner and the guy's squirting water in my mouth. You're like, you're going all wrong. You're going all come in on the other ball. The one that I mixed the other day, I told you

what I said the other day, I did something real stupid. You ever, you ever argue with your wife and know you immediately lost. I was half joking, but when I said it, she just leaned back. I was cleaning the cat's area. We have two cats, you know, and they have an area and I was cleaning it up and she just had bags of her shit in there. And I just go, hey, you know, not for nothing, but if I'm cleaning this out, can we not have these bags, you know? And she's like, well, they need to be there. And I just felt like it was a selfish thing. So I kind of just we started to get into it. And I just like like a fucking dope like a fucking dope i just go you know that's what fucking eve bit the apple it was eve that bit the apple right and she just goes she stopped at her desk and i swear to god she stopped and she leaned back and she goes what

she goes did you just say that to me and dude i knew i i knew that i just as it came out of my mouth and then i'm just a dude it was so bad you mouth, and then I'm just, dude, it was so bad. You know what I mean? I'm just saying, like, Adam just wanted to fucking chill out. You didn't have to do, she didn't have to do that. And, dude, it was just, she just shook her head and goes, you know, I can't fucking believe you just said that. And I tried playing it off.

Immediate loss. Took the L. Well, because you, when you make a statement that hard, you got to keep your foot on the pedal. You can't ease up. Yeah. did you just say that yeah i did now get over here and get your bags out of the cat room that's that's your i'm not saying that's gonna work but that's your only play you can't be like oh no what i was saying then it's over it's all oh yeah and they know they

got you and then then they got to act like they're really hurt. Like, does she really care about that dumb biblical shit? She doesn't. She just wanted to win. And then I tried. Yeah, I tried backing out. What is it, 1800s? Nobody gives a fuck. About Adam and Eve. Yeah. I'm going, this kid just wanted a picnic. This kid just wanted to fucking sit and have a picnic.

The apple didn't have to. The apple wasn't necessary. Didn't Neil deGrasse Tyson say we all came from the water? I'm getting tired of that fucking guy being on every podcast. I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. I don't think he's that smart. I think if he was smart, he'd be somewhere figuring shit out.

Rather than going on everybody's podcast telling everybody how smart he is. Listen, he seems like a nice enough guy, but I've seen him on all the podcasts saying stuff that my uncle says when he's fucking drinking. So it's like, I don't, you know. I don't buy it. I think he is the Dr. Phil of scientists. I think if you're an actual scientist, you're in a lab figuring something out. It's like Donald Trump walking around. Oh, I'm a fucking entrepreneur.

Well, why don't you go run your businesses? Why are you hosting a reality show while you're trying to figure out if Cindy Lauper or the guy from Poison is going to make a better CEO for this company that doesn't exist? Yeah. Right? Yeah. No, and I'm tired of people. I put them all in the Dr. Phil drawer. I put them all in the Dr. Phil drawer.

Yeah, but I'm tired of all these scientists and all of these people that are supposed to be smart being asked questions on major fucking platforms about what happens when we die. And people are like, wow, this fucking guy doesn't know. This guy's fucking. No, he doesn't fucking know. And I got to listen to him. I think he was the weak one. He was the weak one he was the weak one he's like i gotta come up with some other hustle because these guys are looking in the microscope seeing shit that i'm not even seeing i'm gonna go out into the mainstream where all the dopes are

and i'm gonna blow them away by saying how fucking radiation works and we're like well i mean because you know if you walk into a bar nobody knows how that shit works, right? Nobody really knows why the world turns magnetic poles and all that shit. But he knows. He knows just enough. Nobody's an expert. Nobody's an expert unless you've done it. That's not true. No, no, listen. Hold on. Nobody's an expert unless they've done the job. Like Tony Romo, when Tony Romo talks football, I'm fucking, that's going to happen. Okay. If somebody asks you or somebody that's been doing standup, me, somebody has been doing standup 20 years.

Hey man, what's it like on the road when you stay in a comedy condo? What's it like when you're away from your family? I'm an expert with that. I can answer that. But I don't want some fucking buddy that doesn't know what happens when you die. Go, well, I'll tell you what happens. Remember when you were born and you didn't remember before you were born right so that's what happens you don't fucking know you don't know you're not an expert on that so nobody's an expert on shit that's unexplained

okay nobody's an expert on ufos what do you think happens when you die i think that there is so why would you give an answer no no hold on but i could think something neil degrasse versi yeah but nobody's fucking booking me on fucking ellen to talk about stop saying fuck so much you can get some more gigs i mean once they were scientists dropping f-bombs ellen this is what the fuck i think when you die. So that's. You fucking. Close your eyes. Did you. Oh, why are you staring at me? An over Italian guy.

Did you see the over Italian dog whisperer? It's the funniest thing. You got to watch it, dude. There's a guy who was like either in jail. He's as Italian as it almost is a character like, hey, come on. And he's like a dog whisperer now. So he's talking to the dog and go, oh, what are you doing? What are you doing? Dude, it is. Don't do that. What are you biting over there?

Don't bite over there, dude. It is. No, I talk to me. The first whisperer actually whisper. Did the what? The first whisperer. Was it the horse whisperer that started all the whisperers kind of like watergate was the first gate then it became deflate gate fuck gate everything became gate now everything is whisper but i see these guys with dogs and they're not exactly whispering so did the did the horse whisperer whisper i don't know man can you lean forward and go giddy up yeah yeah well stop biting yes yes I don't know that's a good question I like dude I was hanging out with somebody who owns a horse

right and was saying like how they can feel your energy, right? And they won't walk with you. If they feel you feeling fucked up, they won't walk with you. And there's something so fucking funny. I get around a horse, I can make it walk with me because for some reason I just don't give a fuck because I don't give a fuck if it does or not because I don't even think we should ride them. I'm just thinking like,

why the fuck should this horse go where I want it to go? That's what I'm thinking. But if this horse was hanging out with me for the rest of the day it wouldn't go anywhere that i went explain that yeah this horse was with me when i was answering text messages it would literally do a barrel roll out of my car yeah i don't like talking to people that love horses because they ruined horse racing for me. I started talking about how I loved it and somebody had to know where it just goes. I said to somebody, I go, Hey, can I ask you a question? I go, does a horse know when it wins? Like if it wins the Kentucky Derby, like, is there certain things? And they were just like, Oh, you know?

Yeah. Well, you know, they're all on, you know, and just the way they did, they're all on drugs and they're broken and like, they don't have any dignity. And I was just going like, well, you know, they're all on, you know, and just the way they did, they're all on drugs and they're broken and like they don't have any dignity. And I was just going like, oh, man, I just I was just asking. I like to watch the horse. No. Well, yeah, like, but no, when they go, they put the wreath around them. They somehow know maybe it's what they get to fuck afterwards. It's like, oh, I didn't do so good in that race, did I?

They put them off the stud and they're out there with like a donkey when they win there's a bucket of carrots when they lose it's just like slop um i don't know man i think that um i think that horse racing is a beautiful thing to watch and i feel i feel bad when they get whipped and stuff. But dude, watching that one horse, Zenyatta, it's one of the most amazing horses ever. It was a filly, it was a female. And she was undefeated until her last race. Gorgeous horse, all black.

You can look it up, man, Zenyatta. And she crushed everybody, males, fillies. And she's in her last race before retirement. And she's fucking, and the guy just, guy hits her to go. And he did it early. And she was clearing everybody, beating everybody. And she ran out of gas with like 20 yards, 30 yards left. And she was clearly the best horse on the track and the the uh what's the

i almost said dj jockey uh the jockey was no the uh the jockey was crying dj is disc jockey so that's all right i can see that the the jockey was crying and he goes i ruined this horse's career because her perfect career because i broke her too early i'm sick and he really did and it was really hard to watch man and i was just like the horse was so he wouldn't have the job anymore did he binge eat yeah you know with all these people talking about like fucking eating disorders and shit like that i mean who's kidding who they they just sort of people talking about like fucking eating disorders and shit like that. I mean, who's kidding who? They just sort of care about women that have eating disorders. What about all the jockeys?

Well, they also chose that because they're like 5'2". Dude, if I stood next to a... Dude, I'd be Patrick Ewing. You're not fucking scared it's got to be 5'2 to be on a fucking horse running 40 miles an hour? It's got to be terrifying. You're like a kid's backpack on the back of this fucking thing hanging on for dear life right they give you a little fucking yardstick to try to make the thing go faster i mean that's got to be yeah you know what the most fucked up one was was uh was it bill shoemaker i think that was his name the greatest jockey but winningest jockey of

all time shoemaker wasn't that right driver that was a that was a wasn't shoemaker a driver uh yeah they're michael shoemaker i think was a driver but there was a wasn't there a shoemaker uh i don't know if we had someone to look it up we'd fucking look whatever the fucking guy rides horses his whole career wins all these races and then he retires and gets into a car accident and then he breaks his neck oh my god that's mel schumacher nice mel mel schumacher one of uh greatest jockeys of all time why did i think Mel Schumacher, one of the greatest jockeys of all time. Why did I think he broke his neck? He broke his neck, not riding a horse.

That's like, you know, like in an SUV or something like that. Maybe it was the airbag. If he's, you know, you can't have a kid in the front seat, you know, and it comes out, smashes him in the face, you know? But I would imagine riding a horse like that at that size is kind of like you know look at people that ride motorcycles like that motocross shit like that's that's i mean talk about being on something that's so powerful but the bike doesn't decide it's gonna throw you off i mean you can fuck up or hit a patch and that can throw you off. But the bike can't get like spooked. Or like decide, like, I don't want you on my back anymore.

Yeah, that's weird when a horse just stops. Or freaks out, yeah, and just stops and just sends you flying. And they dig in and they stop and the guy just goes flying on the rail. They showed one guy just bounce off the railing. He just, you know, but. I don't know. I was always a fan of the three stooges. So I kind of enjoy those highlights.

No, I would never. I wouldn't. You'd never catch me. No, I've ridden a couple of horses. You never. I don't like doing it. I really I get up to a horse. I really like it.

it's it's it is the first thing that you just mix the rug is the it's the rug the rug under the bed it's just like you just don't even want to fuck it i used to do a bit saying the cure for aids is under the bed in that rug you know because you need a little bit of the virus i used to bring my own sheets and pillowcases because i didn't know who was sleeping on that shit what comic was in there what was going on oh yeah but no no now it's over now it's a deal breaker i mean it would never be done now. But early on when I started featuring, I go, listen, man, just anything. But, you know.

If you meet up on hotels, they never switch out that comforter. Oh, are you serious? Oh, yeah, dude. That's just, you know. It's just, yeah. It's a shit show. No, Hilton's and the good ones do. Yeah, tell yourself that, Paul.

Tell yourself that. No. The five stars? Definite. No? No. They changed the sheets. But if I go down and talk to them and I'm like, look, I just got here.

I can't have that. I need another one. I'm comfortable. They'll do it. Well, I mean, I've never managed a hotel. I imagine, you know, it depends on how. No, no, I can't. I can't.

You got to fucking do that. I'd be like, I'm sorry. Are you staying here, sir? You don't strike me as being the Hilton clientele. Oh, dude, my father, you know, you only met my father once. My father is, for the people listening. I thought I met him more than one time, didn't I? You met my father on my 33rd birthday after we performed. That's the only time you saw my dad or met him. And, you know, it's weird. We just got a weird relationship that I'm obviously not going to get into now, but I don't see my dad often. And when I do see my dad, like my dad is so, like my dad would

be absolutely disgusted and horrified that I was wearing an Adidas t-shirt on a podcast. My dad went into a pizzeria in Yonkers. This is true. Not even trying to be funny. With $1,100 alligator shoes on that had had a solid gold buckle on top of them. And then he wears leather jacket in the winter. Like every season he's got like, so he loves when it gets cold because he wears this leather that's got fur around the collar and he wears really big, he'll wear really big gaudy sunglasses. Wait, does it tie in the middle?

Those jackets were the shit back in the day. Yeah, like it was like fur around the collar a zip up leather but soft leather he'd have shoes on with like gold buckles and he would wear gaudy sunglasses at night wearing nine different animals all of them are endangered i love this dude he's going to get a regular slice of pizza and he comes out he's got glasses on and this one woman is this one woman was looking at my dad and she's just staring at him and he's walking to the car and i me and my brother were there and i was just i never saw my dad in a real social setting with other people other than us

when we visited him and he just he just goes he stops and he takes his glasses off he looks at the woman he goes i owe you money and and she goes excuse me he goes no no i'm just saying do i owe you money because the last person that stared at me like that i owed him money dude it was the it she i've never seen another person just get frozen had nothing to say and and i wouldn't have anything to say and then he just put his glasses back on and went in the car and it was the most gangster shit I've ever seen. He just because the way he did it, he just goes, I owe you money. And she just frozen.

Me and my brother looked at each other and he goes, no, I'm just saying I owe you money because like nobody's ever looked at me like that unless I owed the money. And then we got in the car and left. And it was Bill. I swear to God, it was one of the greatest memories I have of my father. How crazy is that? I mean, dude, that's I mean, dude, that's one for the ages right there. That's a great one.

I mean, I never, it's something, it's a weird thing. You know what really made it powerful? That he stopped. Yeah. Then took off the glasses and looked, you know. If you keep walking, someone has the opportunity to be like, yeah, you know, fuck you with your raccoon coat or whatever. I mean, she was probably looking at somebody shouldn't dress like that to go to a pizzeria. She's probably trying to recognize him from the news.

I bet he looked like a fucking Don. That's a hell of an outfit, dude. She's probably looking at him. Are you famous? Is that Tony Curtis? Who is this? Oh, my God. I would love to hear her version of the story.

So I'm sitting there, and this man comes in dressed like a gangster. Okay? That's literally how he is. He probably just got out of jail. Fur, leather, alligator, a gold buckle. Yeah. Rings, pinky rings, watches. He looked like Al Capone.

My dad would be in the car. Prejudice, Paul. Prejudice against Italians. Well, what's the world coming to? In this day and age. In this day and age. My father, one time, we're at a red light. And he saw a guy. And my dad just looked at me and

christian he goes you see that that's that's a shame you see that he goes a grown man in a honda this fuck it's a shame and just drove away like that's dude i grew up with so i think that that's kind of why the chain like this to my father is a chicken wire my father my father be embarrassed i was wearing this he actually said he, you can't wear chicken wire. What are you wearing chicken fence for? That's chicken wire? That's like an ankle bracelet to him? I told you, my dad watches rap videos for the jewelry.

He told me, he watched, he actually said, he goes, you know, he goes, I don't go for that rap shit, but these rappers know their jewelry. That's serious. He used to watch OutKast videos and be like, they get it. He goes, the know, he goes, I don't go for that rap shit, but these rappers know their jewelry. That's yours. He used to watch OutKast videos and be like, they get it. He goes, the rappers get it. You got to have gaudy pieces. You know how funny that is that he was sitting there watching with the sound down? I'm like, oh.

It'd be funny if like a hip hop fans walking by and seeing this old Italian guy. Like he doesn't know the sounds down. Sticks his head in. Yo, you like Onyx no i just like the watches the fuck out of my window oh you ever go to a uh you ever go to a rap concert growing up in college or anything no not even remotely i'm trying to think if i've ever even seen I it just was like I went to hair metal shit metal hair metal and then um I started stand up in 92 and uh yeah that was it it was really like where I grew up it was you were taking your life in your hands because you were going to be the only like white guy there um or at least they

made it it seemed like that but i i just was i was so what's funny now is now i go back and listen to all these groups i should have listened to i follow uh quest and he's always bringing up all these old school you know all kinds of like if you if you want like to really up your knowledge in music you gotta watch that guy you gotta follow him on instagram i know it's like a ted talk on on on music and then he also is really good about shout outs about when people pass away and like i don't give a shit how obscure somebody played the fucking bongos on some classic uh uh beat that people then rapped over he'll give you the whole background on that. And he had something too that was coming out that I wanted to sign up for. I just don't have enough

hours in the day. That was just like, you know, someday if my life slows down a little bit, that is something that I would love to just sit on the porch and just listen to this guy's knowledge. Dude, that guy's knowledge of music and who came before and how we got here is second to none. I listened to The Roots in high school. I saw a bunch of stuff. Now, he knows. He knows. He's great, that guy.

There's a whole other story, but we we gotta wrap this up in a second but i went to i saw i saw buster rhymes and and uh and jay-z at university of albany what year i saw uh probably 98 dude that's that's fucking sick 98 99 you caught them right and it them right after Biggie died, right? It was like a year later. Yeah, Jay-Z came out. He had an Indianapolis Colts football jersey on. I'm trying to think who it was because it was 99. So it might have been a Dickerson or something.

He came out with something and Busta Rhymes. I also saw Method Man and Red Man one of the most impressive things I ever saw was we went to see Wyclef at Vassar College and this fucking dude I mean it was funny though because there were just like all these like white kids going up so he would just say something bad about George Bush and all these white kids like this is nuts. It was like they were all these liberal kids. It was like these liberal kids like Martin Luther King speech. It was hilarious. I always felt like there was nine more people on stage than needed to be at a rap concert just swinging towels around. They look like they were at a Steelers game. Oh, Steve Harvey does that? Oh, Steve Harvey did that on Kings of Comedy. Did I see that?

He goes 40 guys running around, but Wyclef took the guitar. Did he do the towel thing too or no? No, I don't know if he did the towel thing. Oh, okay. Wyclef took a guitar and played the national anthem with his mouth to a, it was one of the sickest things. Who did that first? I don't know. Yeah. Jimi Hendrix.

That's a Jimi Hendrix move. Okay. So he did it and it sounded nuts. And then you brought this up. I went to an Onyx concert once and I swear to God, they had that song, throw your guns in the air and bump up like you just don't care. Right. And I'm standing there and they come out hard and these dudes just had all black hoodies on up. And I'm just standing there. And he goes, yeah, I'll never forget this. He goes, yeah, everybody throw your guns up. And the beat of the song comes up. And everyone's like, go like this with their guns up.

And he said something along the lines of like, yeah, and if there's any of these white motherfuckers out there, you know where to point them. I swear to God. And I'm just standing there like this bill with my hood on i was like i just backed out i just back slowly back out and i was like i'm gonna skip this song go to shape your beard up more you could have passed for puerto rican maybe with your hood up just pull one sweat pant leg up remember the late up. Just pull one sweat pant leg up. Remember the late 90s with the one sweat pant leg up?

That's great. The closest I ever came to any of that world was when Caroline was trying to sign Patrice. I told this story before. Who was? Caroline was trying to sign Patrice. Louis Ferranda manage yeah patrice is still living in boston as was i so to show him like how much they understood black people uh puff daddy was having a birthday party at carolines this is where he was. Because Biggie was just... I bet if we hung around,

Biggie would have showed up. Biggie was at club. Biggie used to go to Deaf Comedy Jam. Biggie was cool with comedy. He wasn't at... There's no way he wouldn't have showed up for his birthday. But he wasn't there yet. I just didn't know enough to hang.

So I was there, and there was Heavy D was there. Method Man was there. Puff Daddy was there. All of these people were there. They tried to do a comedy show. Poor Ed Lover hosting the show. And he kept making fun of people going like, come on, you're going to get a deal. You're going to get a deal. Try and listen. So anyway, that part's cut out. Yeah yeah so this person he made fun of uh was not had a champagne flute and threw it across it went right by ed lover's head smashed against the wall and uh wow nothing was done

ed played it off and kept going and I just remember thinking that was the first time I realized that money didn't change you as far as like, I just thought if you had a million dollars, you were just happy all the time. Just walking around like, hey, you guys want to get some ice cream? You know, I get a million bucks. Wait, did you perform on that? Huh? Did you perform on that huh did you perform on that no fuck no fuck i would have a few years later but i did not perform on it i was just standing there just like take it was overwhelming for me but i think with patrice

too it was it was kind of like you know he's coming from his mother's house their condo up in boston he went down there and got sucked into like what we were listening to on the radio which was that was you know we didn't have a lot of exposure to fame or anything like that i remember the closest thing we had was like when famous comics would come to headline at uh the comedy connection fanny hall or like uh what's his face there um ed mcmahon came for star search looking for talent what it really was it was it was close to the end of that show's run so they were trying to drum up publicity to get people to keep watching so he was sort of sitting in the corner having drinks hanging out with some you know his wife or whatever.

It was fucking cool. And I think I got a callback for that. Was it that one? Something like that. One of the ones of the MTV showcase. One of those things I got a callback for. It's funny how we care about people that don't do what we do approving of us. Right.

You ever think about that? Somebody that somebody that might even not even know comedy that much. You go, hey, man, I like your stuff or hey, I don't like and we take it seriously. And I'm like, well, because it's they're successful in what they did. Yes. I remember one time doing stand up at the the comedy cellar and William Shatner was there and he wasn't laughing. And I was like, oh, man, he didn't think I was funny. He made it. He's famous. I must stink. And then years't think I was funny he made it he's famous I must stink and then years later I realized like wait a minute he's William Shatner yeah he's just sitting there waiting for somebody to do their awful William Shatner impression because other than

like Jack Nicholson every comedian would do like the uh I had uh Michael Kirk you got to, I had Michael, you got to boom. I had Michael Strahan sitting next to me while I'm on, I'm on stage at the stand and Strahan is right there, right there. And I'm doing this joke and I hear him laughing and I know he's laughing. Right. And he was there to watch one of his friends go on stage. So now we're all done. And I just did a good job in front of the fucking giant, man, you know? So I'm outside and his friend comes out and goes, hey, man, when Mike comes out to just everybody like he was here to watch me perform, just like no pictures, anything like that.

And I'm like, oh, fuck, man, I just did good. But I'm not going to ask. And like, you know, the way they say comedians want to be rock stars, rock stars. Fuck that. I never want to be a rock star. I want to be an athlete. So, like, for me, you know that about me about me like i didn't give a fuck about music i cared about athletes so i wanted to meet him and i would ask him for a picture because he was a giant and i love the giants so he's like man no pictures everybody you mind and i'm like fuck so all of a sudden strahan comes out this is like the day he got into it with that girl in the fuck with his ex ex in the in the building and he comes out and he smiled hey what's going on and he just looks over at me and he goes, hey, man, good shit.

And then I was like, I'm asking. He came up, you're a funny man. And he put his arm around me. I go, hey, dude, you Michael. The huge Giants figures. Yeah, yeah, of course, of course. Dude, I put my arm. I think I told this story.

I told this story on Good Morning Football. I put my arm around him and I was so excited that I was taking a picture with Michael Strahan. I leaned over right before the picture and I go, dude, oh, seven changed my life. And I, I just, I, as I put, I go, what, what did I just, and he must have a cool thing to say. Oh, seven changed my life. I mean, I'm a grown man, dude.

Dude, they won the Superbowl. They beat the undefeated Patriots. That's a great thing. Changed my life is a little, he must've been like, oh, the Super Bowl. They beat the undefeated Patriots. That's a great thing. Changed my life is a little. He must have been like, oh, changed my life. You know, so what's this guy got going on? Oh, but he, you think sports fans how dumb we are? You think that's the dumbest shit he ever heard?

I got a new dish. It's called the stray head. Just hear me out. He's got to sit there listening to that shit, trying to get into his fucking car. Andrew, thanks for watching. What? I watch you every week? You can't

listen to my sandwich? I'm going to tell, Andrew, I know we got to go, but I got to tell Bill this because this has been on my mind and I never talked about it. I'm going to say it now. When we did the garden, something bothered me and it bothers me to this day and I'm okay with it, but I'll just talk about it. I don't care. So we did the garden the second time in the round and Joe B hosted and I went up

there and I got a lot of great things happened because of it. I felt like I had one of the sets of my life and we're in the other room and I'm floating. Like it's surreal. Like this didn't just fucking happen. Joe B looked at me. Joe B goes like this. Joe B goes, it's never going to get better than this.

It's never going to get better than this right here. And it was just, it was just, we're elated. And I remember, I remember saying, it's never going to get better than this. And Joe G was there and Joe G came in and Joe G goes, oh, dude, Chris Rock and Quest Love just said like, you guys killed, like you killed. So I was like, cool. So then I'm walking and Chris Rock sees me.

And it's just, there's a time where it's just me and him. It's just me and him. And he saw me and he looked and he knew it was me because I heard what he just said about my set. And he was going to say something and did it. And I was going to say something and did it. And then he walked and I'm like, man, should he have said have said and then quest love he kind of looked and didn't say anything and it always bugged me but then i realized i they don't owe that to me you know what i mean like but it's

just one of those things where when you do it is funny how especially with a musician i don't need that but it's like you kind of are like ah fuck, fuck, I would love that. I do. Yeah. Yeah. Paul, I ever tell you what it's like to lose a Grammy. Dude, it's like a sketch. Really? So I was the only person, you know, because of COVID or whatever, I was the only person there. So they go to me. Oh, they're introducing your category so i'm sitting there like right off camera and the guy has a grammy and he starts moving it towards me and i go holy shit i want i'm looking at like i want he goes no no i'll just just in case you win and he's holding it there dude like he's gonna take a hand off and then they go and and the Grammy goes to somebody else. And then he goes, becomes a play action fake. He pulls it in.

Then he throws it somewhere. Dude, when I tell you, two and a half minutes later, you are standing in a parking lot wondering what the fuck just happened. Wait a minute. I'm not going to lie to you, dude. It hurt my feelings for like four hours i was trying to act like it didn't bother me yeah and i was just like yeah it's just like dude an award show is the funniest fucking thing ever because you go there and you're nominated and people like you're nominated and within one sentence, oh, you're nominated. And within one sentence,

you go from being nominated to a loser. Well, you would rather not be nominated. I mean, I don't give a, I mean, I thought I didn't give a shit. Evidently I did. What is that? Oh, you got the video of it? Yeah, I low-key got your entire thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess. He got the whole thing in case he's fucking douchebag. So that's the guy with the mask holding it next to Bill. Oh, there it is.

So you, Bill, would you honestly, like, going back, honestly, would you not want to be nominated? No, no, absolutely. Absolutely. I'm just, I was not prepared. Because I was thinking, all you want to do is just be nominated no no absolutely absolutely i'm just i was not prepared because i was thinking that all you want to do is just be nominated that's great that's fucking yeah it's a win-win i mean if i get it it's not great but it was just i think you'd rather be like not there i think being not there to have the grammy like right here. Not you.

Can you give me a heads up that it's not going to be me so I don't have to come? Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Dude, I can't even tell you how much fucking fun I had presenting. I was sitting there going, this might not be, I don't know, this might be weird. And I had, dude, I was fucking camera crew. Everybody was laughing and having a great time. We just had the best time.

Then the other presenters, one of the women before me was also nominated for a Grammy. She fucking had the same thing and they took it away. We were laughing about it in the parking lot. Why do they do that? Why do they hold it there in front of us? Because you got to go. It's funny. They were acting like it was on tv it was the fucking internet they could have they didn't have to do that but it was i'm not gonna tell you dude it was a nice it was a uh dude i'm sicilian you know what i would like it was a flare shot huh i get i get hurt i'm sicilian i get hurt

i'm gonna tell you this. I had so much fun going down there and presenting and doing it on there, I would do it again to lose. That's how much fun it was. But it's just now you just had to be mentally prepared. What did they do with COVID? I also know now to ask, am I on the part that's going to be on TV? Because if it isn't, I'm going to men's warehouse, okay?

Hey, I dropped three stacks on this thing, okay? Oh, yeah. I dropped some March Madness numbers on this fucking suit. All right, guys. Well, you know what? We have a great segment at the end of the show today. We are going to be teaming back up with Monkey Knife Fight. We are going to be...

She was saying such crazy shit. My wife ran away like embarrassed she it's a long story she went up to this fucking dude like we were joking and she went up and said something to this fucking guy man and it was just like she's fucking hilarious so i don't want to see i'm just i was just talking personally with my little thing that i know no everybody on the fucking internet tries to turn nothing into something.

We got Sean Green and Ryan Kramer from Monkey Night Fight. Our favorite thing to say here, Monkey Night Fight, the sports gambling podcast. You know, I don't want to brag or anything, guys, but I kind of crushed it on all of my Super Bowl bets. Oh, yeah. I got everything from the coin toss to the color of the Gatorade. Just saying. As soon as the blue Gatorade got dumped, my Twitter feed got lit up. I'm just – I told you. I told you, blue Gatorade. Burr had it right.

Yeah, you nailed it, man. And you were all over your buddy Brady in the box. And, man, that was – Passive-aggressive, Paul. Do you hear that? All over your buddy Brady. It's going to be that I just knew he was going to win. It's my buddy now.

I mean, you're a Brady backer. No, no, no. I'm a married man. I know passive-aggressive statements when I hear them. I'm going to throw it under the bus a little bit all over your buddy baby okay go ahead no i i mean again great job and again not not coming in the kind of wouldn't i be all over him he's won six out of nine now seven out of ten you're making it seem like i bet some 50 to one horse i'm with you bill easy Bill. Easy money. Easy money. Kramer was on the Bucs as well. You guys cleaned

up. I love it. I love it. What about March Madness? I know we're on the Anything Better podcast, but Verzi, anything better than just watching a shit ton of March Madness games, having some action, actually having the March Madness to talk about?

Listen, I love a favorite and I'm sticking to it because Gonzaga is not fucking losing. I'm telling you this right now. Gonzaga is undefeated. They're going to stay undefeated. They're the best team in the country. I actually watched them play a little bit.

Bill will tell you from experience of our friendship and many years of talking sports on the phone, in hotel rooms, in green rooms. I can't lay off a favorite. And if there was ever a favorite that I had to stick with, it's Gonzaga. So I'm sticking with him. Paul loves the regular season.

What happens in the regular season in his world is what is going to happen in the playoffs. So if Gonzaga beats some Division III team by 80, he doesn't see it as any. I mean, I used to drive me nuts back in the day when he would talk about quarterbacks that were better than my buddy Brady. And I'd be like, listen, if you want somebody to throw 500 yards in November against a team that isn't going to make the playoffs, this is your guy. But if you want someone to win in January, I need wins in January.

So March is different. I'm not saying I don't know shit about college hoop, but I can already tell you just because somebody is undefeated in the regular season, that does not carry as much weight as my strike friend here is trying to tell you. No, I mean, yeah, Gonzaga has looked really good, but you're right. When these teams are undefeated in the regular season, it's just so much pressure leading up to eventually a letdown game.

I mean, I like Gonzaga to maybe make it to the Final Four, but to win it all, I think it's a little crazy. I'm going with a team like Michigan, already got a couple tough losses out of the way you know now they they know what it's like to lose they don't want that taste in their mouth and gonzaga they just seem to every year we go through this ryan with gonzaga where they look so good they dominate the whack and then tournament time they're in a minimal security prison okay if you play on tobacco road or you're you're in a minimal security prison. Okay. If you play on tobacco road or you're, you're in the big 10,

I mean, that's like, you know, you got to make a shank fellas, fellas, wire to wire. It's over. I'm with you,

Paul. Actually, I think it's, it's becoming popular. It's become, it's becoming popular to find a reason to pick against the best team in the country. And we've seen this in every other sport, Sean. The best team has come home and raised the trophy at the end of the year. So I think it happens again. Paul, Paul and I are uniting against, you know, what that Gonzaga coach.

It's that Gonzaga coach's time. OK, that dude has been knocking on the door for a while. He's finally got the team to do it um and i saw the number paul i'm taking that action yeah once this year and i are gonna be booking uh paul and kramer's action on gontaga to win it all i'll take that all day i'll root for him because i love i would love to see somebody out of the whack win it all. But, like, dude, come on, man. You got bum-ass fights here. You're undefeated playing a bunch of – who are they playing out there? I expected to hear Verzi being right there in the Jersey area, Big East basketball, talking about Georgetown,

the fact that Patrick Ewing won it as a player and as a coach, Cinderella story. But you're going chalk with Gonzaga, Bersey. Yeah, I mean, listen, when I watched them play, the rebounding, the big guys down there, like – and here's the other thing. I saw Gonzaga get tested. They were getting tested by – I think it was BYU. Yep. BYU was testing them.

BYU was beating them okay byu yeah byu was beating them though and byu was beating them pretty good and people are going oh this is the game that gonzaga gives it up and you know what like the champions that they are like chanting that at the game paul nothing Nothing scares a host player when he hears Mormons chanting. Like champions, the Zags fucking won it. Like the champions that they are. They fucking came back and they won it. They went to Utah and conquered the Stokers.

Granted, they were playing a bunch of fucking white kids from BYU. But, you know, Paul, do you have a gig at Gonzaga coming up? My God, this is crazy. They're going to win. Talking about coach K. They're going to win it, man. They're going to win it. I'll put fucking five honey on it.

I'll put, what do you want? I'll take that. Send that this way, buddy. Oh, wow. Are you taking it? Yeah. But so you're taking an easy way out. You're going to just pick one of 30 something teams.

I mean, who's going to win it? The easy way out, Paul, is knowing that you're all over it. I'm telling you. Fade the mush. It doesn't get it. 05.30 The Bronx therapy. 5.30 The huge favorite who won everything. Yeah. It didn't I'm I'm fading. I'm fading Versi just cause we were on the same side in the super bowl and it didn't work out for us. Taking the favorite bill. Who do you like? Any, any teams? I know you're not

Speaker 3, my team. I got three teams that I like that I root for Michigan, Kansas and Duke. So out of the three of them, the ones who had the best year is Michigan. I like their uniforms. I'm just kidding. I just, I'm like, I'm a housewife here, dude. I haven't watched enough. I saw some kid on Tennessee. Throw it down though. 3. Oh yeah. There was, there was some elbows going. Yeah. 0 5 0. I'm going Michigan. Yeah. To the victors. Fuck Gonzaga. They didn't play anybody. Hail, hail to Michigan. Yeah. I mean 500 bucks off for Z. Yes. Speaker 0 1 N N A T S

Speaker 0 1 N A T S. Well, I don't know if you saw bill, but Juwan Howard, their coach, he was getting into it. I always, I always got to support a team whose coach isn't afraid to get scrappy, start yelling at the other coach. And we it's, it's been hilarious in these COVID times where the, the, the coach is wearing the mask until he needs to pull it down and yell right in the, in the coat, you know, in the red, you can almost, you can almost see the droplets coming out of it. Speaker 0 1 C 3 S 5 0 Speaker 0 1 C 3 S 5 0

It's just so unsettling to see. And they still, again, just pull it down anytime they need to yell completely defeating the purpose of the mask Speaker 0 7,014 – 00,015 That happened last night. The Knicks had a heartbreaker against the seven. Yes. Tom Thibodeau's Tom Thibodeau's fucking mask was on his chin. His shirt was out his boxer shorts, his fucking boxer shorts were over his fucking dress, his button down. And he just, it was like Corona didn't matter anymore. It's like, yeah, it's like on a call. Speaker 3, they make them wear the bass. If they're just going to pull it down to,

to yell at these refs. Interesting little side note, six of the refs already have been replaced for March madness. One tested positive and the other six were went out to lunch for them. Bill, I know you're not afraid to be a conspiracy theorist at times. Any, any shenanigans potentially with the refs here? Speaker 0 1 C 2 S 0 1 0 C 2 S 0 0 1 C 2 S 0

Not no one else was involved. Donaghy. I listened to some interviews. The guy's hilarious. He, he admits to being involved in these scandals, but he insists that the games he bet on, he didn't adjust the way he called the game,

which is the craziest thing. Like he admit that he was involved with the mob, admitted everything else, but tried to still keep some ref integrity there. 5.3 I'm a dirt bag, but I got a line. Okay. 5.3 Exactly. I just happened to 5.3 No following kids.

5.3 So wait a minute though. Wait a minute. Let's real quick bill. Let's get to this bet. So you're gonna, so 500, I'm putting all the 500. You're just saying someone's going to take them out. You have it a little easier there. Oh, that's not the kind of thing. That's not who I am. How long have you known me?

First of all, I'm not taking $500 of your hard-earned money. All right? So what are we going to do? A steak and a cigar. Okay. Okay? And before you take your first bite, you have to say, whoever loses, you have to be like, insert name here, God damn it.

You were right. You've never been more right in your life, and it is an honor for me to pick up this check. And I will buy dessert also. I'm just saying, Michigan's going to go further than Gonzaga. Ooh. That's the best. That's the best. And that's, that's probably even money. And bill was talking about being married. You know, it's a classic married guy thing. The bed is,

he just wants to hear someone else say they're right. I can't, I that's as a married guy, that's my fantasy. No longer, you know, two chicks at the same time, just the wife to go. You know what? After all this, you were right. Moving on. I don't want to be heard. I just want to be heard. Listen to me, sweetheart. We got, we got some, we got some awesome games here again, monkey knife fight. That's the place to go. They got college basketball, March madness tournament bets. We got prop bets for these players. Again, use that promo code Berg and a free $5 play and a hundred dollars or a hundred percent deposit match up to 50 bucks.

Using the promo code, burr monkey knife fight.com. The first four game. Again, there were 64 teams, not enough for all the action had a crowbar four more teams in kicking things off Thursday night, UCLA, Michigan state, pretty good historic matchup, you know, to kind of like powerhouses, not great years for either teams, UCLA kind of coming in cold tip off six 57 on the East coast. We got two player props more or less on these points, Michigan state forward, Aaron Henry, 16 and a half points. Kramer. I'll let you kick it off over under more or less 16 and a half. Speaker 3, I mean, he's, he's the NBA prospect too. So if you're, if you're an NBA guy, this

guy's going to be playing in the league. And I think if you like Michigan state, you like this, you like Henry to score over 16 and a half points, Sean, as you know, I like UCLA in this one. So I'm going to take the under, Speaker 0 1,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, anti-chalk bar. What are you doing here? Over under 16 and a half points. Aaron Henry, pretty good forward for Michigan. I was loving the under then Bersey said under. So I don't know here. I'm with you. I was in my head, not knowing who this kid is. Hey, I got all the unders right at the Superbowl. Huh? All the unders of the yards that I said, passing from my homes and Brady. I

got right. When I said the under for the Superbowl, 1. 07. You sound like a community college right now, trying to be number one in something 5. 07. Your niche number one, half-way school in the Rhode Island region. 08. We have the coldest Coca-Cola in any cafeteria, the best Valley area, the best pool vending machine in the break. Yes. 07. Normally I would say that I'm thinking this kid who I've never seen play, Speaker 1 The best pool vending machine in the break room. Yes. Speaker 3 Normally I would say that I'm thinking this kid who I've never seen play who I've already forgotten his name. This is this Aaron Henry,

Aaron Henry. I would say that he's feeling the pressure normally. And he'd be a little tight on this first game. However, these kids grew up with Instagram, right? They know what it's like to hit their marks, say it, be funny. They've had any handled criticism and all of this crap. Everybody's all one and done now. Everybody's sick with it. I believe is what the kids say. I want to go positive trip. All right. So we have something to shit talk about. I'm going, I say the kid scores 21. Speaker 3, I like that. I'm going, I'm going over. He's he showed up big when they played

Michigan had a nice game. UCLA's defense has kind of fallen apart and big 10. They actually played their conference tournament in this bubble site for the tournament. He's used to the rims. He's not a he's dialed in. I'm going over 16 and a half moving over to the UCLA side. And I'm, I'm sure I'm going to mispronounce this guy's name. Johnny juice Zang guard for the UCLA Bruins, 13 and a half points more or less. Paul, I know you're on UCLA. You going more here? Speaker 0 1 C 3 D 0 1. Yeah. 13. He have that at. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to take over. I'm going to say he gets 14. Yeah. Just over. All right. I'm with you. I'm going over.

Even though I'm on Michigan state for the game laying too, I do think this is going to be a little more high scoring than we're used to for a, for a big 10 pack, 12 game Kramer pack 12 shows up for the tourney. The Kentucky transfer has a huge game goes over Speaker 3 Speaker 0 5, 12 shows up for the tourney. The Kentucky transfer has a huge game goes over scores 30 Sean. I'm saying he scores 30. Speaker 1 0 5, 12 shows up for the tourney. The Kentucky transfer has a huge game goes got me yo you just got me when you said kentucky transfer i just literally saw the bed i just saw the bed i'm doing when you said kentucky so yeah paul perked up he's like are you talking about a blue blood program i got no sort of favorite action i got nuggets some chalky action coming

your way bill what about what about you man uh i think this kid tries to hang for a little while don't know who i don't even remember his name. Johnny Juzang. I write a lot of scripts, so here's my script. This kid tries to hang with them in the first half. He gets about eight. I think he can eke out another six in the second half. But this kid, I'm telling you, who's going to rise to the occasion

at Michigan State that I've never heard of, he's going to run away in the second half. I think that that's what happens. They both go over 0 1 S 1 M 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 still hit a talking point and just kind of shows you these talking heads, even though they're pretend.

Speaker 3 and the former five-star recruit is starting to show up in a big way after going under this total four or five times in a row, Sean, he's gone over the last five games, obviously end of the season tournament time. The cameras are bright. He's going to try to do a lot himself here. I think he goes over. Okay. He's going to fail. He,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030,030, against this Virginia tech defense, which isn't amazing, but isn't like, isn't bottom barrel. I think 18 is a lot. Kramer's the only one taking

over. So Speaker 3 and 4 I think he gets there. Even if they're down by a lot, it's kind of like the football analogy of the quarterback. It's going to throw for a lot of yards either way. It's kind of the way they've even been playing. So yeah, I'm going over Speaker 0 7, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,050,0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46,

I Florida's defense has kind of fallen apart a little bit late. They've really killed me on some bets. So I'm, I'm on Virginia tech for the game. I think a Luma getting 15 is doable here.

He said that he said that with so much confidence that I'm taking that. Yeah.

1. Yeah. You gotta, you gotta trust the guy who's got the inside scoop or where are you at over under 14 4. Hard to go against Ryan's confidence. But you know, the fact that hers, he was enamored by it. I just had to go against it. I gotta go against it. Sean, but the fact that Verzi was enamored by it, I just had to go against it. I got to go against it. Sean, by the way, I love how your background looks like a footlocker the day after Christmas.

Nobody wanted the Eagles jerseys and everything else sold. There's 92? Rest his soul, by the way. Rest his soul. You got to meet him. All we got is what's left of him. You can call it a footlocker sale, but you can't go out my boy, Reggie white minister. Sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know that was right.

Speaker 0 1. No, I said rest his soul. Rest his soul. But that's old school right there. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. That's my entire childhood.

Last game. We're going to get to this one. Another should be a classic here. Syracuse who a lot of people are you and maybe not deserving to be in the tournament, especially at an 11 seat, not having to play in going up against San Diego state, the Aztecs round one late night, a six 40 on the East coast, buddy Bay. Hi. I'm of course, his dad is the coach. I've been all in a buddy Bay. Haim. The kid is just shooting lights out 31 point game against Virginia, 16 and a half way too low. All in buddy Bay. Haim Kramer. You've been making fun of me for my love affair with buddy Bay. I'm and the Syracuse orange. Are you go, are you brave enough to

go under at 16 and a half Speaker 3 and a half, two true statements. Buddy is a dog's name. Yes. Also as a youth coach myself, youth girls soccer. If I make the playoffs like, like we see with Jim, you bet your ass on playing my kids the entire goddamn game. So he's going to take all the shots. Buddy bam goes over Speaker 0, where are you at with buddy Bay. Speaker 3, Speaker 0, yo 3 0 Speaker 2 0 Speaker 3 0 Speaker 1 0 Speaker 2 0

Speaker 2 0 Speaker 2 0 Speaker 1 0 Speaker 2 0 Speaker 2 0 and i do like the fact that this kid this is buddy boeheim's first tournament or no no no but this is this is his first tournament playing many minutes he he wasn't he wasn't getting a ton of action on their on their previous tournaments that's what she said i think he goes it's 16 and a half is a great number but you know what i think he chucks him up i think he chucks him up to you know press his old man and show people it's a buddy Bay ham time. It's I go over 17 points for the kid. Speaker 3 and, and that is a, I know you're not a Verzi. You're not a gambling tout, but that is a, that is right in toolkit. Number one of the gambling tout. This is a great number. This is a great number. This is a great number.

Gives yourself a lot of wiggle room as a guy who's given out a bunch of bad picks. If you start out by complimenting the numbers, give yourself some, some, no idea how numbers are created or what number it is. So they get very impressed when you talk about the number as if you know, oh wow. Very important. Shout out to them. Great job over a monkey knife fight. Speaker 0 1. Yes. Yes. It'll all depend on who shows up. Speaker 3 0 1. You guys want to see a great gambling movie? Watch owning Mahoney. I'm trying to get through it. It's done so well as far as Philip Seymour Hoffman. Just the,

oh yeah, well I probably shouldn't say that on a gambling website it's a feel good movie where he wins every time alright as far as Buddy Boham is that his name Boeheim but yeah let me tell you something Buddy there's only room for one BB in this entertainment business

and you're looking at him I'm taking the under I say they shut you down Buddy lock it up. Go. Speaker 1 0 Buddy is the name of a stock car driver, buddy Baker. Right? Oh, another, another BB. Speaker 2 0 That's true. That's a real human too. I thought it was just the dog name. Speaker 1 0 Baseball player, buddy bell,

not a basketball player until he shows up and scores more than 17 and a half, which will not happen. Lock it up on the under and don't worry. Most gambling movies, which will not happen.

I'm on cues here to win the game. I'm going under again, maybe I'm blind to just supporting buddy Bay. I'm cause my dog's name, buddy. And I'm all in, but I think they're their defense a little better than they're getting credit for Kramer. Are you over under Matt Mitchell? 15 and a half points, Speaker 2 and a half points, Matt Mitchell. As you know, Sean, we adopted San Diego state to this podcast. So we are gals.
