In the mountain, in the kitchen, even in the living room.
They really lie everywhere, the empty batteries.
But now we're going to the finish.
Bring them to a BeBat-inzamel-point quickly.
You will always find one in your neighborhood on BeBat.be.
BeBat!
Together, better for nature and for all of us.
Campaign in cooperation with the OVAM.
As you can tell by my little, slightly more relaxed tone,
my kids asleep downstairs, so I can't scream, I can't yell,
I can't rant, oh, I can do those things,
but I have to do it in a controlled manner.
That's what I have to do, because the dynamics of the house
changed a little bit.
And I know what you think.
So Bill, does that mean the dynamics of the pie
can't just get it changed a little bit?
Yeah, just a little bit, but nothing crazy.
Like listen to me right now, you would have no idea
that right before I got on this podcast, I just meditated.
I meditated for 10 minutes.
I shut it down.
Let's focus on the sounds in the room now gently.
Let those go away and focus on your breathing.
I did that 10 minutes.
I guess it's helping me out.
I had one meltdown this week.
I was trying to figure out how to put the fucking car seat
into the car, and I swear to God, dude, like the level,
the level that they have over designed those things is insane.
I swear to God.
I hope auto racing, they should put those fucking drivers
in car seats.
Then nothing would ever happen to them.
I couldn't figure out how to get this effing thing in there.
And did I just say effing?
Yeah, I'm trying to learn how to, ah, the kid's influence.
It's coming in.
I've been cracking me up by doing that.
Going, hey, quit talking S and just abbreviating curses.
To her, it's hilarious because all she's ever heard me do
is just curse my brains out.
And I was making a laugh last night
because we were laying in bed when
we were watching Wheel of Fortune with a beautiful baby
between us, and I was just doing what I always do.
I was trashing all the contestants and everything
on there at, you know, I can't say about the Wheel of Fortune,
man, they're fucking some stingy cunts on that show.
When Agba comes down to the thing,
whoever the one of the three that won, when they go over
and then you try to win some big money
to get him for one big hit for like 50 or 60 grand,
those puzzles, they're practically impossible.
And the clues throw you off.
They had one, they said a phrase.
They go, this is a phrase.
We'll give you these letters.
And of course, none of them show up, right?
Then you pick some and a few of those show up.
This was the phrase, our first voyage.
That's a phrase.
I mean, technically it's a phrase,
but if you're going to say it's a phrase,
this should be something like, to me, a phrase,
it's somewhere between an expression and just
some random shit, right?
That's a phrase.
Does that make any sense?
Like an expression, a fucking stitch in time saves night.
Is that an expression?
Is that a soliloquy?
I don't know what that is, but I know that's not a phrase.
That's something else, but I don't know what that is.
But a phrase is something common.
Hey, check, please.
Don't fucking touch that.
I can't think of a good one, but you know what I mean?
Our first voyage is a phrase.
Technically it's a phrase, Pat Sajak.
I never really, they always fuck the person over.
They try to limit the R, S's and T's in it
because they know everybody's gonna guess those ones.
I don't know.
Then he always pulls the card out, I'm sorry.
And they give you like eight seconds to solve it,
you know, get it.
And then he always pulls out some ridiculous amount of money.
Oh, that was for, that was gonna be for 90 grand.
Very stingy.
But what do you expect?
Cause I remember back in the day,
they had the shittiest prizes on that show.
It's almost like they didn't want you to be happy
when you left.
So as much as I'm enjoying that show,
I don't know, I'm starting to,
just getting ready to move on to a new game show.
Jesus Christ, I'm fucking tired.
I don't know how the hell I'm gonna get through this hour.
Cause then I got to run over.
I'm doing Conan O'Brien tonight.
Everybody please tune in to hype my standup special
that comes out tomorrow on Netflix.
My fifth one called walk your way out.
I know what you're thinking,
Bill, why'd you call it walk your way out?
Well, if you watch the show, you'll understand.
How about that?
But if you guys could, you know, social media,
the whole thing up and just let people know
to check the thing out.
So the dream continues.
I would really appreciate it.
I'm very proud of this one.
I hope, I hope you guys like it too.
Had a great time doing it.
And we shot at this beautiful venue called the Ryman,
which is the original place
where they shot the Grand Ole Opry.
They had a couple of floorboards left
from the original stage.
So when you walk on those,
those are the same ones that Elvis, Johnny Cash,
and you know, a bunch of other white guys
and fucking mini Pearl walked on Hank Williams.
Hank Williams, Junior.
Hank Williams, Junior, Junior.
I told you guys I got satellite radio finally in my car
after all those years of being on it,
on the Opian Anthony show way back in the day,
XM satellite radio way back in the day.
I never had it.
And I didn't realize how fucking great it is.
And I've actually gotten a little bit into country music,
but it's that Willie Nelson Roadhouse channel.
I like the old stuff.
I had a new shit.
I just don't fucking, I just don't, I don't get it.
I'm not into it at all.
There's gotta be somebody.
There's no fucking way you can have an entire genre of music
and not have anybody today doing it well.
But who knows?
So I haven't done shit this week, people.
I don't have any jokes.
I don't even know what the fuck to talk to you about.
I've been watching Celtics and Bruins shit.
I was so tired the other day.
My daughter was crying.
My wife was holding my daughter
and I walked over with the pacifier to try to
quiet the kid and I literally walked up
and tried to put it in my wife's mouth.
She laughed thinking I was fucking around.
I was like, oh, oh, sorry, sorry.
Cause when I walked over, she was talking
and all I was thinking was make the noise stop
and I tried to stick it in her mouth.
So anyway, so I'm starting to understand
why so many parents are so, are so cunty
to people who either don't have kids
or they're about to have kids.
And they, I don't know, they're not nice people.
They really aren't.
And I'm gonna try not to be that person.
I'm not gonna resent someone who doesn't have kids
because they have free time that I no longer have.
That's such a fucking, I don't know.
It's a weird thing, you know, when you have a kid
cause you get to experience this new level of love
and then you also get to see this other side of people
just like, ah, did we just fucking, I don't know.
I don't know, I ran to yet another person.
Oh dude, you're gonna have no free time.
You're gonna have no free time to fucking do it.
I went to a drum lesson Saturday
and I went to the NHL All-Star game on Sunday.
You know, the rest of my time was fucking,
you know, dealing with the kid, but I'm still doing shit.
You know, I think a lot of fucking people,
they didn't do shit before they had a kid.
They don't have a fucking hobby.
They don't have anything that they're passionate about.
I don't know what it is, but they're miserable cons.
I gotta get away from them, you know?
I just had a buddy of mine say, hey, congratulations.
I'm thinking about having a kid, you know, next year.
I just said, that's great.
It's your experience.
Don't talk to parents.
They're not saying people, myself included.
Just, you know, it's gonna be great.
Have a good time.
Be nice to people, did that, huh?
But why would you do that?
Why would you do that when you can't get
some of your fucking resentment out
on a completely innocent person?
All right, I'm gonna stop bitching about this shit.
I think I've made my point.
So anyways, I'm selling more shit.
Oh, I'm selling more shit.
Everything's on the chopping block.
I got that John Bonham drum kit that I have
that 71 Ludwood green sparkle.
I'm actually toying with the idea of selling
that fucking thing because I,
it's just too fucking big for me.
It's not comfortable playing it.
The cymbals, I don't even like the sound of them.
It's not my sound.
And I did the stupid fucking thing
that every weekend warrior wanna be hobbyist musician does.
I'm gonna buy Eddie Van Halen's guitar.
Then I'll play like Eddie Van Halen.
No, you won't.
You'll just be a douche with an Eddie Van Halen guitar.
Who isn't Eddie Van Halen?
So I made that mistake.
So I'm actually thinking about,
actually I toyed with the idea,
but then I went in and I looked at the drums
and they're so beautiful.
I don't know if I can fucking do it,
but I don't know.
I would rather get a drum kit
that may be set up for fucking how I'm built.
I swear to God, I played that thing out
on the comedy jam twice.
And to go from the rack tom to the floor tom,
it's a 26 inch bass drum.
It's so, you gotta take like a taxi
to go from the rack just the way I'm built.
So to get to the fucking from the rack to the floor,
I always go via the snare
just to give me that extra split second
just to get over the fucking thing.
I don't know how this bottom guy did it,
but you know, it's not working for me.
So I'm thinking of getting rid of that
and going out and buying maybe like a Gretch
or something like that with like a 22 inch kick
instead of a 26 and have a 14 inch floor tom
instead of having that as a rack tom.
I think that I always liked the 14 floor.
I know this is some fucking nerdy drum shit,
but yeah, I think I wanna do that
and get him out of the fucking house.
I'll find a fucking studio space
for like a couple hundred bucks a month.
And I'll just have a brand new kit.
Cause that's the only thing that stops me
from setting that thing up cause it's a vintage kit.
I'm like, oh my God, what if somebody steals it?
It's irreplaceable.
But if I buy a brand new one, brand new symbols,
you get a little bit of insurance, you know,
50 bucks a month, I walk in there one day,
somebody steals it, ah, just fucking get another one
cause they're still making them.
I'm trying to get out of that disease
of like an old shit.
I love old shit, but then you get it
and it just becomes this fucking thing when it breaks.
Oh my God, how the fuck am I gonna try
and find the parts for it?
Like remember my bodyguard and the big dude from,
from Pile, what is your major malfunction?
What the fuck was that called?
Full metal jacket, remember that guy?
He played the, the dude who protect the kid from meatballs.
Anyways, he had a fucking motorcycle
and there was some little piece of the carburetor
that he couldn't fucking fight.
So of course, because it's a Hollywood movie,
you know, because it's a Hollywood movie,
you know, they go into a junkyard
and the little nerdy kid finds it, you know,
and then that's their, the little bonding moment.
I would tell you guys how much I hate that
when I watch TV's and movies, TV's, TV shows and movies.
I hate the fucking convenience
of how everything fucking works out.
I also like two nights ago,
I was doing stand-up at the comedy store
and I was talking shit about being a white dude, you know,
cause it's funny, cause you're not allowed to do it.
You know, every other group of people
could be like proud of their accomplishments,
but we can't, white dudes can't
because of all the horrific shit that we've done
wipes out any sort of accomplishment.
So Jokely saying like, you know, we did this,
we did that, we went to the moon
and then this woman yells out, hidden figures,
go see hidden figures.
I'm just, you know, I cannot stand people
that go to see a Hollywood movie
and think that they just read a history book.
It's just fucking like, and then they think they're informed.
It's like, you're not informed, you watched a movie.
I told you guys that shit.
Do you know that movie, Sully, when that thing came out,
they wanted to make the copilot an alcoholic
just to raise the stakes and the real guy
who's really alive and still flies
had to like threaten to sue or something,
to be like, guys, you can't fucking
put that out there about me.
I'm not an alcoholic.
I have a career in commercial aviation.
You can't start floating it out to the world
that I'm a fucking alcoholic.
And then they were like, all right.
So that's all I'm saying.
Okay, I'm not saying that there weren't some people doing
some math and all that, just don't fucking,
my only thing about that, and this is myself included,
don't fucking come after me,
when you've never heard of those people
and all you did was go out and go see the fucking movie
and start coming to me like you went
to fucking graduate school.
So I had fun with that.
I probably went too hard.
I brought up that guy who fucking,
that dude who figured out that when you're in outer space
that if you perspired that your sweat would boil
and you would literally boil in your own sweat
so that a space suit was literally like a giant radiator.
Some dude figured out that that would happen.
Figured out that that would fucking happen
before we even went out there, you know?
Where's that guy's movie?
Huh?
Where is his movie?
Oh, Jesus Christ, what else?
Yes, I went to the NHL All-Star game.
Three on three, this crazy format.
I think, you know, they're going in the right direction
because everybody knows that All-Star games
are mind-numbly boring.
The baseball one's pretty good.
Baseball, I would say baseball is the best All-Star game.
The NBA All-Star game, I guess is sort of fun
because nobody's going to play D
and everybody's going to dunk.
So it's a little interesting,
but I'd say the baseball one's the best.
So the NHL is trying to figure out, you know,
a format on how to make theirs competitive
and people to give a shit.
So they take like all four divisions
and I didn't even understand the format.
You played like five minutes,
then you played another five minutes
and then two other divisions came out,
you played five and five and then the winner of those two
then played in the finals.
I don't know how the fucking thing worked.
Or did you play two 10-minute periods?
I was at the game and I couldn't figure out
what was going on and it was unbelievably quiet
when it was in there.
They should have played the first five minutes five on five
and then the next one.
You know something,
there's no way to make an All-Star game exciting.
That's just basically it.
Cause you know what, they just have too much to lose.
Back, you know something,
I bet when the All-Star games were great,
we're back in the day when professional athletes
also had like off season day jobs.
Like you played for the Cleveland Browns from September
till the end of December
and then the rest of the year you were like pouring concrete.
Like those lunatics,
they got in shape by you know,
being the jackhammer guy on a road crew.
I bet then they had some good games
cause then there was probably the pride of like,
our conference is better than your conference
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But there's just too much money at stake,
but it was still fun to go down there
and see all that type of stuff.
But that's was part of my nerd,
you know, fandom thing that I have.
I've now been to every All-Star game
except for the baseball one.
So now of course with my fucking OCD, I have to,
I don't even know what I'm going for.
Going to all of these fucking games at this point,
but I don't know.
You know what's cool about it
is it keeps me going to different places.
You know, cause at some point I want to go to that.
I've been to one golfing major in order to go to all four.
The first three are not difficult.
The U.S. opening the PGA are not difficult.
You can get fucking ticks.
Fucking U.S. opening golf.
I mean, they're just animals.
You know, when you watch that golf tournament
and you hear those people screaming and yelling,
it sounds like the third show
at some shit fucking comedy club on a Saturday night,
just a bunch of drunks,
and they're not going to police anybody
cause they want to make their money off selling them booze.
The masters is the hard one because they don't sell tickets.
And here's a heads up on that.
The first time I did it,
you get like these badges that are given to the members
and they're not supposed to sell them, but they all do.
And everybody kind of looks the other way, right?
So then you go to these brokers that have these badges.
You pay way too much fucking money for them.
Then you show up at somebody's fucking house.
This is what happened to me.
And the first time I did it, I went with two people
and we lucked out and we got the badges.
Me and Verzi, we went in 2010.
Then a few years later, we went to go again.
I brought five fucking people to the same people's house.
And they said, ah, there was a mix up with the badges.
And then the lady who was going to pay us just fucking,
goes, I'll be right back to go get them.
And she just fucking left.
And that's the last time we saw her.
And then the husband just waited us out on the front yard.
And I was just out the money
and they completely fucked us over.
And I lost a ton of money
as did a number of other people.
And we were talking about trying to remember
when we were standing outside the house,
just waiting for them,
the neighbors came walking by going,
like, oh, do they screw you out of the badges?
Yeah, they did that a few years before.
And just started having fantasies
about burning down their fucking house
and all of that type of shit.
And then, I don't know, I just kind of let it go.
And you know what's funny is every time I let it go,
like fully just let it go and just be like, you know what?
I did get to go to it.
Part of buying scalp tickets is every once in a while,
you get fucked over.
It happened to me at a Ravens game one time.
I ended up buying some tickets
that were stolen season tickets
and they kicked me out of the fucking stadium
and then I had to buy another pair of scalp tickets
to get back in.
I mean, it happens.
But what's funny about that,
that when I got fucked over at the Masters,
and I bought, I bought five of those fucking things.
So I was out a lot of money.
What was funny about that is every time
I go to let it go,
because I remember saying to the guy,
I said, dude, if you don't give me money back,
I'm gonna sue you and blah, blah, blah,
said all this stuff.
And then the guy, little Elmore Fudd looking, fucking dude.
Just go, you never get your money back.
Name is fucking.
This other fucking fat fuck.
I was going, well, how much money you got
in your pocket from the other ones?
Give me that money.
Because you ain't giving me that money.
Come again, let's see you try.
All right, it was like one of those moments
and there was like five of us
and we could all beat the shit out of the guy,
but you know what's gonna happen.
You're gonna beat the shit out of him.
Okay, then we're not gonna get him money.
We're gonna go to jail.
They're gonna sue us for assault.
There's just no way to win.
The only way to win a fight,
once you're passed like high school,
once you become an adult,
the only way to win a fucking fight
is you have no money and you have nothing to lose
and you're homeless.
That's the only way to win it
because then you're gonna get arrested
and you're gonna go to jail
and at least now you got a place to stay for the night.
You get some meals, you know what to beg for food.
Other than that, you're gonna fucking lose
because I sat there, kept trying to do the math,
going, how the fuck, you know, having those violent things.
You know, I'm sure there's a fucking tire iron in the car.
If I smash both these guys over the fucking heads,
which I'm not gonna do.
I've never done anything even remotely that violent,
but you're so fucking mad
when you're getting fucked out of money.
You start having these fantasies
and just cause it makes you feel better
of just thinking of caving in the side of their fucking heads.
I just kept trying to do the math on how we would get away
and you just can't do it anymore.
You know, back in the day, you could do that.
You could jump on your horse and fucking ride away.
It was over.
You know, there wasn't some minor
with a cell phone fucking camera
and your horse had a license plate on his fucking tail
and you were screwed.
You were done.
You know, somebody following you with a fucking drone
and there was just no way,
there was no way to do it
other than to just take my loss
and then I was gonna quadruple it.
And God knows what else, you know,
and the kind of people that would do to us
what they did to us,
I was like, what would they do in a quarter of a law
if I was actually guilty of doing something to them?
You know what I mean?
So I let go of it.
I said, fuck it.
It's a loss who gives a shit.
We'll make it up.
We'll come back at some other time.
We'll go again, fuck it.
And every time I would go to let go of it,
you know, start to let go of it, start to let go of it.
Fucking Paul Verzi, the half Sicilian part of him
who can never forget anything like that
would call me up and just get me fucking off.
He'd get me all riled up again.
I'd be like, Paul, you gotta stop doing it.
And he would sit there calling me up,
like he's Sammy the Bull,
if Sammy didn't fucking sell out
and I'm fucking the other guy there,
what is it, what is it, the Teflon Don there?
I almost said Giuliani,
Gotti, John Gotti, and he would call me up
just telling me what he was gonna do to that guy's house.
And of course he didn't do it.
And he's not gonna do it, he's married,
he's got two kids, but he would call it up,
call me up and I would get me going again.
He did this for fucking years.
Now it's just a joke.
Now it's just like once a year he'll call me up
and be like, hey dude, not for nothing,
but I thought about this again the other day.
I was thinking not even fucking saying anything to you
and just going down there
and then just calling you up and being like,
hey Bill, it's done, it's done.
And I go, yeah, and right there, right there,
you'd call me up and then you'd say something
over the phone and because it's not illegal,
not a listen to people's phone calls,
right there we would get caught.
You would have to do, Paul,
is you would have to go down and do it,
know that you did it and then not say anything
to me ever until one day,
maybe we were out to fucking see in international waters.
And then even then we'd have to go to the back of the boat
when the engines were on,
you'd have to put your hand over your fucking mouth,
like fucking Joe Pesci and De Niro and Casino
and then he could tell me, oh, by the way,
I burned down that guy's fucking house.
So anyway, I don't even know how the fuck
I got onto that story.
I don't think I ever told you guys that story
because I was so fucking mad about it for years.
Oh, I don't know what I was talking about,
I was just talking about going to all these different games.
So be aware of that.
If you ever go to the masters
unless you have a really good hookup,
if you're just gonna buy from a regular person,
try to keep it at two because what happened
because we were a group of five
and they didn't have enough badges,
they decided that we're gonna have one group
fucking pissed at us rather than having
three groups of two fucking pissed off.
I forget how many we had.
It's just like, all right, we're just gonna have,
this is one group of people that will bitch
as opposed to having like, oh yeah, they fucked me over,
they fucked my group, they fucked my group.
So it was just us complaining.
I actually think there was one other couple too.
I don't know.
I gotta stop talking about
because it's gonna get me fucking mad again,
those goddamn cunts.
You never give your mother back.
Oh God, oh, it's fucking Elmer fun.
Any other, the fat fuck redneck,
this stupid orange shirt, I still remember his big guy.
He has his big fucking beer belly.
Oh my God.
Oh, the beautiful sound of a bat hitting all that flesh.
Oh, that would have been heaven.
But you know, that's not what you're supposed to do
as an adult and who's kidding who?
I've never done that to anybody.
And I would have been like, I would have alligated
or armed it and I just would have made him mad.
Then he would have smothered me
with all that fucking hillbilly fat and I would have lost.
And I would have been off the money.
Then I'd be leaving with grass stains all over myself.
It would have been horrible.
All right.
Oh yeah, so it was a spaghetti bolognese
with a lot of meat.
Download the Maiden Laisse app and cook me.
Yeah, top.
The Laisse.
Me with a cleaver.
Sherries, berries, everybody.
Gifts like no other for love,
for your love like no other.
Oh, that's right, Valentine's Day is coming up.
I'm so fucking sleepy.
Dude, my kid last night got up.
I started to fall asleep around midnight.
She got up at, I get up at 1257, 110,
two-oh-something, three-oh-something.
Then she went to 430, which was unbelievable.
Just get that extra 30 minutes.
Then she went to six.
And for whatever reason,
she sleeps from like six AM to like nine or like 930.
And I just know at that six o'clock one
that when I change that diaper
and I get her all settled down again
that I can actually just like, it's fine.
That's why the podcast is a little late here.
But thank God, I'm a stand-up comedian.
Okay, you people that actually have jobs
where you have to fucking get up at 830
in the goddamn morning to go drive.
I don't know how you just don't nod off in traffic
and drive into a fucking guardrail.
So my hat's off to you.
All right, gifts like no other for your love like no other.
There's no one like your Valentine.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
There's plenty of people like your Valentine.
Everybody has two arms, two legs and a head.
This year treat them to an unforgettable gift.
That's as unique as they are.
Chocolate coverage strawberries.
Tell a personal fuck off.
Tell a personal Valentine's Day story.
What makes your sweetheart unique?
You know why?
Cause we have a kid who was eight days old
and she still let me go to the NHL All-Star game.
How about like that?
What quirks do you love?
Oh, I don't know.
Talk about your personal experience
sending cherries, berries.
Have you already ordered cherries?
No, I haven't.
You guys given to me for free.
For free, cause I talk about it on your podcast.
Berries, how did your Valentine react?
Dude, am I applying for a fucking job here?
Do some psycho analysis on me?
All right, a gift from Cherries Berry shows her
you put your thought into finding the perfect gift.
People, how am I supposed to get through this copy
when they just make such outrageous statements like that?
There's no fucking thought.
This is the perfect fucking thing when you just, here.

All right, let's get into some of the reads for this week.
I might come up a little short for my usual hour, everybody,
because I got the cars coming at noon.
And oh, Billy has not fucking done anything yet.
I gotta get ready to do this fucking show.
All right.
Oh, you know what I didn't bring up?
I've been watching, of course,
been watching the Celtics and the Bruins and all that.
Bruins had a big victory against the Penguins
before the All-Star break.
Granted, Malkin wasn't playing,
but it was still, we had played a great game
and I have to go on down to nothing,
if I remember correctly.
And then the Celtics have been playing great.
Had a big win against the Bucks.
Who the fuck did they beat right before that?
I watched like every one of them.
I really enjoy, I can't believe it.
I'm back into NBA hoop.
Okay, let me get to,
let's get to some of the reads here for this week.
Oh, Super Bowl celebrations.
Dear Billy Bloodhound.
Oh, did I ever tell you guys how much I love a Bloodhound?
Oh, the fucking amount of dogs that I fucking love,
but I love that dog, you know?
They just got that chilling out vibe.
Any, you gotta love a hound.
Cause all you have to do is go,
boop, and they do it with you.
That's it.
That's all I need.
That's all I was looking for.
This Valentine's Day, okay?
Ladies, if you really love your husband
or your boyfriend, right?
Just get him a Bloodhound, you know?
And then you can be as crazy as you wanna fucking be.
And all he has to do is just every once in a while
be hanging out with his dog when you're not around.
You know?
He just looks over and, hey, buddy, buddy.
Oh, and it does it with him and it just makes you feel good.
Oh, maybe it's just me.
I don't know.
I heard you mentioned Bloodhounds last week.
I know you're not looking to get a dog anytime soon,
but when you do, definitely consider a Bloodhound.
They're unbelievably, unbelievable with real young kids.
I've had two with both my kids.
Anyways, my question is if you ever have been to a Super Bowl,
that's, they're great with kids.
That's good to know.
By the way, I keep getting updates with Cleo.
She's doing great.
She's loving her new family and everything's awesome with her.
And I might do a show at some point
in the vicinity of the new people that have the dog
just to visit and say hello.
I don't know if I should do that or not.
I don't know if it'll fuck the dog up
or if it'll just make me sad all over again.
I don't know what, but I still, you know what the fuck?
I just look at it like that's one of my kids
and she's gone off to college
and every once in a while I check in.
How about that?
Anyways, my question is if you ever been to a Super Bowl
or hung around for the week before
seeing what all the action is like.
My friend asked me if I wanted to go this year
but I'd rather watch it at home.
I like to watch sports alone.
Loved you one cowherd, go Pat's.
All right, here's the deal.
I have been to two Super Bowls.
I went to the Patriots when we played the Green Bay Packers.
Remember that?
And Brett Favera fucking threw that touchdown pass
and then took his helmet off
and ran like half the fucking football field
because his agent told him to do that
and give us a big astronaut smile when you do it, right?
That was cool just to be like the first time
you go to a Super Bowl,
if you're ever lucky enough to go to one,
there is that thing that you can't believe,
you're at the thing that basically
most of the United States is watching, that you're there.
And I remember going down there,
it was in New Orleans
and it was just all the Patriots fans were a bunch of drunks
and then of course the Wisconsin fans
who were the same level of drunks
but there's just something about Wisconsin like the Midwest,
there's a certain level of common decency, decency.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know, they just don't go as hard.
It's weird, certain times you see them though,
they're more animals than East Coast people,
but it's an ugly thing, East Coast sports fans,
we're lunatics, so we're all up there screaming
and yelling on one of those balconies,
fucking hammered down on Bourbon Street, right?
And John Kerry walked by and everybody was yelling
that John Kerry, John Kerry, what do you think
about the Patriots, blah, blah, blah.
And he just looked up and he had this big phony smile,
this is like an act out, you're not gonna get it,
but you know that stupid old school,
let's go get him and you make a fist, right?
And you kind of act like you're maybe throwing a baseball
to home plate, you're like, yeah,
kind of do one of those, whoa.
He did it, he did it like slow motion.
He made the fist, he paused and he just went
and then kind of threw it like that really slow.
It was so fucking weird, he was so detached
from his own body and I'm convinced now
after I saw Bill Clinton do it,
that they just know people are taking pictures of them
so they don't even have a fuck about interacting with you.
It's all about what you look like in the paper.
That was that time I told you long story,
but I ended up Bill Clinton when he was still president.
This is pre-getting impeached and all that shit.
He came down to Boston and one of my friends
wanted to go down and see the motorcade.
I didn't want to fucking go.
My buddy didn't want to go.
He convinces us to fucking go.
He's gonna buy lunch, so we go, all right, fuck it, right?
So we fucking go down there.
He's all excited.
He just wants to see the motorcade go by
because he'd watched so much of that JFK shit.
He just wanted to see a motorcade
and that's like a big deal to see the presidential motorcade.
I can admit that was pretty exciting to see.
So they start coming down the street
and right before they get to us,
we're like, finally here it comes.
He's gonna see the motorcade drive by
and then we get all fucking go home.
He can buy us lunch, right?
Right before they got to us,
they made a right turn to go into this alley.
Right before they got to us,
like, you know, probably like 50 yards up
and like, oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me.
And this dude was so into like knowing politics.
He was just going like,
ah, don't worry, he's just gonna go in there.
It's a woman's college.
He usually speaks on average from 50 to 65 minutes.
I'll go run and get us some, you know,
a couple slices of pizza or whatever.
So we go, fine, so he fucking takes off
and we're standing there.
And all of a sudden the secret servers
starts walking down the street,
telling everybody,
we're up against those little police,
little saw horse things,
telling us, get your hands up, get your hands up.
And the motorcade starts driving
and who's walking down the street,
fucking Bill Clinton with Ted Kennedy and somebody else.
Ted Kennedy was first.
I think I already told the story.
Dude, his fucking head, I swear to God,
was the size of like a fucking safe.
I've never seen a head that big in my life.
Like, I literally went to like,
yeah, both your hands up
so the secret servers could see your hand.
And they were just sort of high-fiving people.
As they walked by, remember,
and Bill Clinton comes by
and everybody's like, oh, Mr. President, Bill Clinton.
And he wasn't saying anything.
He just had both his hands up.
He was slowly walking
and just imagine smiling with your mouth open.
Like, yeah, like he was doing that,
but your face was just frozen.
He was just walking past all of us doing that.
Like, and everybody was yelling to him.
Everybody was saying stuff
and he did not say anything to anybody.
He just had that fucking look on his face
with both his hands up.
He looked like a fucking crazy person.
But then the next day, the front page of the paper,
you see the guy and he's on the front page of the paper
like, it looked like we were all having a great time.
I thought there was something wrong with them.
Also, I will tell you right now, dude,
these softest fucking hands of any guy ever, ever.
He has not done a fucking day's work
of manual labor in his life.
Baby soft.
Now they have a daughter.
Baby soft fucking hands.
That's how he gets the ladies.
That's what it is.
He puts one of those soft baby hands on your shoulders,
takes out a cigar and it is game set match.
So anyways, he fucking does this shit.
Then they jump in the car and then they fucking leave.
Everybody's freaking out and then it's just over.
And people just start to walk away and leave.
Okay, all of this took less than like 38 seconds.
Okay, because the Secret Service was not gonna have
the president exposed to the public for that long.
So anyways, he jumps in the car as I leave.
Everybody's like high off of, oh my God,
I shook the president's hand.
How big was Ted Kennedy's head?
That takes about a minute for people to be like,
what the fuck?
And then people just start walking away.
And then like 15 seconds after that,
my buddy comes walking up the dude who wanted to see
all of it and he just sees everybody has left.
I remember he was biting into a slice of pizza
and he kind of stopped his bite and he just looks over
and he goes, I missed it, didn't I?
And I just looked at him and I felt bad.
I was like, I shook his hand and he goes, no, you didn't.
And then my buddy was a total pothead,
was galloping around sideways like in a circle,
just screaming, I shook it twice, I shook it twice.
Oh, that was such a fucking sad, quiet ride home.
And we would try not to fucking laugh.
We just started laughing after a while
and he just refused to believe it.
But the details we had, he knew that it was fucking true.
And then the next day in the paper,
he saw, because we were saying like,
dude, he wasn't saying anything.
I'll never forget that.
He just was like, oh, but without,
like that's the noise he should have been making.
But he wasn't making that noise.
He just had his mouth open with his fucking hands up.
And the next day in the paper though,
he looked like a champ.
The man looked like a champ.
All right, Jesus, that was a long way to go.
What was I talking about?
The first time I went to a Super Bowl, yeah.
So we went to it and Bill Parcells fucked us over that year
because that was his whole fucking stupid thing.
Like, you want me to cook the dinner?
You gotta let me buy the groceries.
Because what's his face?
Robert Kraft overruled him and said,
you should take Terry Glenn and fucking Bill Parcell's ego
couldn't fucking handle that, right?
And then he proceeds to tell the team that he's leaving
and then he put his fucking house up for sale
before we even played the goddamn game.
It was one of the most selfish things.
If that's true, that's the, you know,
that's the room of what the fuck happened.
Then you know what kills me?
He fucking goes to coach.
Every place else he goes to coach.
Who does he bring along with him?
Terry Glenn.
Unreal, unreal, but whatever.
Let's plow ahead here.
Oh, and then the second time I went,
I went to the Patriots versus the Rams
and we won that game, obviously.
And when it last second,
and then I was just like, you know what?
Every time the Patriots go, I'm gonna go to the Super Bowl.
So the next time we played,
which was either against the Panthers or the Eagles,
I can't remember.
I think the Panthers, I was gonna go,
but the next day I had like a six or seven AM call time
to do that Chappelle show sketch, a World Series at Dice.
That's the first time I met Charlie Murphy
and all those guys.
And so there was no way I could go.
And I was, you know, I was all upset, like,
oh man, I'm gonna miss the game and blah, blah,
but I gotta tell you, that Sunday night
when the game was over and the Patriots won,
you know, and I was sitting on my futon
and my fucking pork excuse for a one bedroom
in New York City, I remember when the game was over,
I watched it with a couple of friends
and they were leaving, the game was over
and I still had like two grand in my pocket.
Cause that's basically back then
when you were looking at drop and like,
if you could get tickets, it'd be like 1500 bucks
plus the hotel and all the travel and everything
was gonna be another 500 bucks.
The end of the game when I still had two grand in my pocket,
I was just like, yeah, you know what?
This is better.
I went, I saw him lose.
I know what that feels like.
I went, I saw him win.
I saw him win their first one in the last play.
It's never gonna get better than that.
I'll go against someday when I have a kid.
So someday my daughter, if she wants to go, I'll take her,
but if you've never been, I would definitely go.
It's worth going one time, but you know,
I was kind of all set back.
This is back when I still just had the regular square TV.
If you get about the flat screen now
with the surround sound and all that shit, I don't know.
Plus, I don't know.
I just like watching the game rather than, you know,
I don't like everybody, all that shit talking
when your team loses or if you win watching your fans
talking shit to other people.
It's just like, we didn't have anything
to fucking do it, do with it, right?
We either got lucky or we got fucked.
What are you gonna do?
All right, paranoia or legit worry.
Okay.
Hey, hey, Bill Berlichek.
Congratulations on your new baby.
Huge fan of the podcast.
I'm a 30 year old naturalized citizen
who immigrated from South Korea when I was 10.
As an immigrant and now a proud American,
I'm writing to you in regards to the current state
of messy affairs going on at the White House.
Why do you guys ask me this shit?
You know, I'm just a comedian.
I'm gonna solve this problem.
Do you still think that Hill Dogg would have been
just as bad as our current president?
With Trump's reaction, I'm not so sure anymore.
Hillary might have been corrupt, as you mentioned,
in your previous podcast, but I believe she would not
have taken such a radical brash action
based on intolerance and hatred.
Not to that level, but they're gonna keep the wars going.
You haven't noticed like Obama said
he was gonna end the wars,
he was gonna shut down Guantanamo, none of them did it.
They're not gonna do it.
I can't get into this type of shit.
Look, if you believe that this government,
that governments act on what is right for people,
rather than money, everybody,
everybody past a certain level moves on money.
That's it.
Same thing in my business, okay?
Why don't they make better movies
because they wanna make money?
Why are there so many cliches?
Why are there so many shitty ones?
It's the same fucking thing.
Do I think Hillary would do something like that?
No, I do not.
I don't think that she would do something like that.
Would she do a bunch of other evil things?
My point in all of that shit, okay?
When the amount of shit that Trump got during the election
about being evil and a horrible fucking person,
I never dispute at any of that,
but everybody was acting like Hillary was a good person.
I say that she wasn't,
and I was trying to get people to look at other options,
which nobody's gonna do,
because they just go,
well, that's a waste of a vote
because you're not gonna win anyway.
So my thing with American voters
is you get exactly what you fucking deserve.
If you don't have the balls to not fucking,
to do not vote for the representative of the Republican
and the Democrats who've been fucking you over
since the day you've been born
and try to get outside of this
and try to pick somebody from a different fucking party
that actually wants to call out bankers
and calls out corporate corruption
and deregulation and pharmaceutical companies
and fucking genetically altered food,
all of that shit that never gets fucking brought up
with the two guys who are,
the man or the woman or the two guys usually
that are in the showdown between the Republican
and Democrat, you get what you fucking deserve.
So there's whole fucking thing now
because Trump's such a colossal fuckup
which everybody already knew, okay?
For you to not look at Hillary being like,
well, it's like you're looking at two serial killers
and Hillary buries the bodies fucking under her house
and Trump leaves them out in the fucking street,
therefore you'd rather have Hillary.
I mean, if that's, I don't know.
But I can honestly tell you,
just my own feelings that she's not a good person,
Trump is not a good person.
They're two horribly selfish fucking people.
And I think a lot of people got caught up in the fact
that with Hillary's fucking genitalia
and the whole thought of, oh my God,
if there's a woman president,
what does that mean for fucking women?
It's just like every president in my lifetime
has been a guy, what does that meant for me as a guy?
Nothing, it doesn't mean anything.
Like that's like that disease in my business
when you're a struggling artist
and then all of a sudden you get a manager and agent.
You start thinking, when I can put my feet up,
I don't have to work anymore.
Yeah, you do, you're always gonna have to work.
You know why?
Because nobody gives a fuck about you.
And I hate to be so fucking bleak, but it's the truth.
Nobody gives a shit.
What Trump is doing is fucking horrible.
It's not surprising.
It isn't.
In a weird way, it's actually causing a bunch of people
to rally and push back against him.
He's so fucking radical
that I don't think he's gonna survive.
He's gonna do a bunch of fucked up shit
to like the midterm elections
and he's gonna be so fucking out of hand
that people are just gonna run all the way
to the other side of the boat.
That's what always happens.
The same way after eight years of Bush.
Oh, now let's all run over to the guys
with the blue ties and the blue bras
and you still get fucked.
And then everybody runs over to the other side.
So whatever, I'm trying not to be preachy here,
but you kind of get what you deserve
if you're gonna go through the insanity
of continuing to vote for whoever the Democrats
or the Republicans are gonna give you at that level.
And you're not gonna start at least voting
for these other people to encourage more people
to run outside of those two fucking parties.
Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
All right, I'm done ranting here.
Anyways, he said, I remember on Conan,
you said everything will be the same under Trump.
I really hope to God that you are right.
Dude, you know something?
I'm getting so much shit for that Conan thing.
You know something?
Next time there's an election like that,
you go on the day after the fucking thing
and try to find some sort of a fucking angle.
You know, like it's my fault
the day after the election
that I say that the Trump gets in, okay?
Everything has been the same under Trump
for a guy like me and for most fucking people.
If you're Muslim, yeah, you're fucked.
That absolutely fucking changed, okay?
But they were not showing those people.
They were showing a bunch of white women crying.
That's what the fuck they were showing.
You know, and then they go,
oh, the fucking Planned Parenthood
and all of that type of shit.
I mean, I don't fucking know.
I mean, like, I think people fucking hate Trump
and for whatever reason, they wanna yell at a comedian.
So continue to yell at me, you know?
I told you they were both pieces of shit,
but you know, after the election,
I don't know, I just thought a lot of the screaming
and yelling and fucking crying was a little much.
It was a little fucking much.
I understand your disappointment,
but crying, it's just was so fucking pathetic, all right?
You don't like the guy, do what the fuck you can
to fight back against him.
You don't just fucking break down crying
like somebody took your toy away.
I don't know, maybe I'm too fucking, I don't know, cynical.
But I've gotten so many tweets,
you really don't get it, you're gonna fucking,
dude, shit changed when Obama came in,
but did it really fucking change?
You know what I mean?
Cause I guess for me, actually true change,
they would tell me where exactly
do my federal income taxes go?
Where does that go?
If it goes to the fucking IRS and they are not,
they are a private corporation of bankers.
They are not connected to the government.
Where does that fucking money go?
Do the people at the upper echelon
of the fucking federal reserve,
do they actually even bother paying taxes,
considering they're paying themselves?
There's a nationwide heroin epidemic
that people are saying was created
by the pharmaceutical companies,
was not even fucking brought up.
They genetically altered our food,
which is evidently so fucked up,
they gotta try to force other countries to do it,
and they're fighting back against them
cause they don't want it.
And evidently it's so fucked up
that these people, they don't even wanna
be forced to label food as genetically altered
cause they know people aren't gonna buy it.
There's all of that shit.
All of that shit not only did not change
under a president with a blue fucking tie,
it continued to get worse.
So now when a guy like Trump does something
so obvious, now everybody's all,
oh my God, this guy's out of his fucking mind.
Like this last guy,
I mean, I'm not saying Obama's a bad fucking guy,
but like, wasn't he just continuing on
with the fucking war mongering and all of that shit?
Am I out of my mind?
Maybe I'm out of my mind.
I don't know.
I don't know, Bill.
Maybe I'm paranoid overreacting
just like those crazy liberal fucks out there,
but I really do feel worried.
It's one of those gut feelings
that simmer deep down into your soul.
I mean, come on, even Gorbachev just said
the world is preparing for war.
Yeah, absolutely, but I don't think
that's because of Donald Trump.
I just think he's yet another guy.
And if they say the world,
the world is not Donald Trump.
It's a bunch of fucking people.
You know what it really is?
I don't give in to fucking hissy fits.
You don't think clearly.
You're breaking down, crying
and just screaming that the fucking sky is falling.
Then you're not gonna make any rational decisions.
There's a bunch of groups that are gonna help out
those peoples at the airport that you can give money to.
You can do shit like that.
You can give money to them and you can pray to God
that they're actually gonna use it on them
and not use expense accounts
and go out and buy themselves a fucking Corvette.
So I don't have any answers, but I will say this to people.
You gotta stop looking, you know, I don't know.
I don't know what it is about stand-up comedians,
but we for some reason get our feet held to the fire
more so than people who are actually
in the governmental positions.
You know, you wanna get mad at me
because of what the fuck I said
on the day after the fucking election on Conan,
by all means do that.
But you know, I bet there was,
how many of those fucking women
at that women's fucking rally?
How many of them you think actually voted?
You know what I mean?
All of this fucking outrage.
Where were you on election day?
I mean, there's been people who got busted,
bitching about Trump.
They didn't even fucking vote, you know, but whatever.
Give me shit because I joked around
when it was like a fucking funeral out here in Hollywood.
I was just trying to calm people down.
Like you see, you know,
you see a bunch of adults crying on television.
Yeah, it's unsettling.
This is what it thinks that happened.
I think this guy is gonna go fucking sideways
and then he's gonna go so sideways.
The midterm elections, what's gonna happen?
It's just gonna get a bunch of fucking Democrats in there
to maybe level this guy out.
But in the meantime,
they'll keep deregulating the banks
and all of that other shit.
And in the end of the day,
guys like Trump will be able to build a golf course
in a fucking pipeline under and over
any Native American land that they want to.
That's what the fuck they wanna do.
People, they're so rich,
they find the government to be a nuisance.
That's what the fuck you're dealing with.
And I don't know, that's what I think.
All right, so there you go.
And once again, I don't read or pay attention.
So fuck off and God bless the United States of America.
All right, advice from a new fellow dad.
Hey, Billy boy, congrats to you
and the lovely Nia on the new baby.
My wife and I welcomed our first son about five weeks ago.
People would try to give you too much advice early on,
but I've discovered the only secret
you need to know about babies is that snapsuck
and zippers rule.
Baby shit all damn day.
So you're taking onesies on and off all day.
You don't need the added frustration of fumbling
with dozens of snaps to get onesies.
So get onesies with zippers.
And that's all you really need to know.
Grats and go again and go fuck yourself.
That's a great one.
That's actually great.
I'm gonna use that
because I dealt with snaps all last night.
All right, selfish girl, friend advice.
Hey Bill, you're gruff,
hey Bill, you gruff ginger bollocks.
I love the podcast, brutally honest, it's great.
You're like, oh, anyway,
I got a girl who most of the time is great.
She's really hot, really smart, really fun.
They always start this way.
But every so often she just seems totally fucking selfish.
Most of the time I totally admire her ethics
slash morals, important, right?
Yeah, so she's human.
Most of the time she's cool and every once in a while
she's got this thing you don't like.
Well, we celebrated our third anniversary yesterday.
By the way, I'm 28, she's 27.
We went out to a sushi restaurant
for a bit of a celebration.
It gets time to pay the bill.
And I say, I'll pay in cash if she transfers me her half.
Oh, God, dude.
He goes from that moment on the night
was all silent treatment till we started arguing.
Then it went back to silence till we went to sleep.
Yeah, cause that's that weird thing
where it's like you're celebrating your anniversary,
but for some reason you have to pay.
Yeah, that's where all the feminism goes out
the fucking window right there.
That's always a great sleep when there's an unresolved issue.
I'm not even a big believer in the guy just paying.
But I'm not a big believer in the guy just paying the bill,
but okay, on special occasions, it's done.
It's the done thing, so I'll go along with it.
But I didn't this time because the week before
my laptop fucked up and I had to sacrifice my TV,
my camera stuff and media center,
stuff I love to make enough cash to get a decent replacement
so I can work slash keep applying for new jobs.
Also, I've been between jobs
and money's a bit tight right now.
In short, it's not been a great week.
You'd think she'd be a bit understanding about it,
given the circumstances, but no.
Hey, you're making all decent points here.
Anyways, we had a fight about it.
Went quiet again, then we did what we do sometimes
and just let it go rather than either of us
having to apologize, oh, that's not good.
She says the argument was me not treating her like a lady.
I see this is this fucking, I don't know,
this is this thing that you can't win as a guy.
You know, they wanna be treated just like a guy
when it's something good is at stake,
but when a bill comes, like, I'm a lady.
I say it was about, it was not about me paying for everything.
Up till the bill, we were having a great time.
I was psyched about a callback for a great job
I'd gotten earlier, she was psyched for me.
Then she throws a fucking moody like a fucking infant
whose toys been taken away because I wanna split the bill.
I don't know, maybe I'm insane.
My friend says it was a schoolboy error.
I don't think we're kids in a bit of grown-up consideration
called for this situation, but anyways,
have at me if I'm being a moron, give me both barrels.
Dude, all of this shit that you said to me,
you need to say to her.
I mean, minus the fucks and some of the other stuff,
calling her a child, I wouldn't do any of that,
but you know, your relationship is gonna be a lot easier
if you start communicating.
So maybe you could have prefaced it with,
hey, you know, I know we're celebrating our anniversary,
I know I'm supposed to pay as a guy,
but I'm kind of tight, can you blah, blah, blah, blah.
I don't know, I don't, I just,
I don't get all of that shit where why the guy has to pay.
It's your relationship and the woman never pays, you know?
If you've noticed all the advertising,
hey, Valentine's Day is coming up,
it's all about what the guy has to get the woman.
That's something you don't hear
at the fucking woman's march.
Just basically how the male-female relationship is set up
is that the guy should just be constantly
showering her with money and gifts
because she had the decency to, you know,
spend her time with you.
It's like her time has value, yours does not.
You know, I don't get it.
It's like, hey, I could be fucking doing other things too
rather than listen to you talking about your day,
same as you gotta listen to me.
It's not how it works.
Anyway, cigar recommendation.
Hey there, freckled tits.
I have been sober and more importantly,
off the cigarettes for over a month now.
Congratulations to celebrate this.
I decided to treat myself to a nice cigar
while I watch your new stand-up special on the 31st.
Any recommendations on a good smoke?
Thanks and go fuck yourself.
Well, if you're off cigarettes,
I don't know why you'd smoke a cigar,
but if you're going to
and you don't have access to a Cuban cigar,
I like those,
the Aurora Emeralds,
and I like this,
the Davidoff, Nick O'Ragwin that Verzi turned me on to
and the Casa Magna, the Torpedo ones,
got the two bands.
I forget which one it's called.
I like those ones,
but I kind of quit smoking to be honest with you.
I think I'm done with it.
I may have the occasional fucking cigar,
but now that I'm getting life insurance,
and it's just like, all right,
I gotta get this nicotine out of my system
so I can pass the fucking test and everything.
When I saw the difference in rates,
just even being a passive smoker,
I was just like, wow.
They obviously know that this means
this shit's gonna fucking kill you.
So I was kind of like, who am I fooling here
if I just clean myself up?
So I think I'm kind of done.
Like I'll smoke a cigar.
I don't know.
I'll smoke a cigar where you're supposed to,
where it's an actual moment,
as opposed to just being like,
oh man, I always smoke cigars,
and now I'm kind of feeling that itched to smoke one,
so I'll smoke one.
But anyways, I gotta get running here.
I gotta go do Conan.
I'll say some more shit probably about politics,
and then you guys can give me shit,
like I'm the one fucking running things.
I told you a long time ago,
that's it, go fuck yourselves,
and I'll check in on you on Thursday.
Bye.
