And we're brought to you by Airbnb. So yeah, whenever I travel, I really try to always stay
in an Airbnb. I have a trip coming up where I'm going on tour and I have like five down days in
the Pacific Northwest. And I'm with a couple buddies of mine. And since we had like three or
four down days, we're like, why don't we just get a place in kind of the middle of Oregon,
just peaceful sort of retreat
kind of deal, be around nature, just able to hang out. And that's what we did. And we found some
great options there. The plan is to just do some grilling, some hanging, but truly just, you know,
great views and everything. And we were able to get a real sense of what the place was going to
look like. So yeah, I'm excited to do that, just to kind of be out in the middle of nowhere
with some buddies and some nature and a nice place,
you know, that has all the amenities I want.
But while I'm gone, you know, I was also like,
well, I have my place just there.
And it's always nice to have someone stay at your place.
And I'm like, well, my place could probably be in Airbnb.
You know, it's a nice, comfortable place.
I feel like anyone staying here will enjoy it.
And you know, obviously that way I kind of earn some extra cash that I can use for my trip
from someone staying here.
You know, I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs in the past and I travel often and my place sits empty
so putting it to use by hosting on Airbnb feels like the smart thing to do.
So let your place earn a little extra cash while you're away.
Your home might be worth more than you think.
Find out how much at airbnb.ca slash host.
Hey what's going on it's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday Morning Podcast for Monday.
November 11th, 2024.
What's going on?
How are ya?
Ah, geez.
Ah, geez, Louise, I'm back in LA.
Oh, Billy.
Who can turn the world on with his ass?
Uh.
Sorry, I am, I am like, I am a little loopy.
Big week last week, worked a bunch.
My head's still spinning from that amazing experience.
And I'm now back out here in LA.
I turned into a pumpkin.
All right, what'd you host SNL last night?
Guess what?
Life doesn't care.
This is my day, so my wife had a huge, um, like thing she's got to go do. So I missed a mom
and, uh, today. All right. What did I deal with? Uh, bathtub water would not stop.
I couldn't shut it off. Uh, clogged toilet. My son puked, and uh, what else?
I can't figure out how to shut my fucking wife's car off.
She's got this stupid fucking electric car, right?
And when you walk up to it with the keys on, like, I swear to God,
it plays this sustained chord, like,
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhh,, it just keeps going. And it's as annoying
as just listening to me trying to hold a fucking note. It does
it's like a choir like, like, what the fuck? Why? I just spent
20 minutes on the internet figuring out how to go into the
settings to fucking shut that off
So anyway, I fucking deal with this stupid fucking goddamn
over-fucking
Designed car like there's no need for any of the shit
None of it. It is just it weighs a million fucking pounds and it has all of this fucking bells and whistles on it
That you don't even need you don't fucking need any of it. We were good in the 90s.
All it is is they're just coming up with new technology to get these fucking
morons who stand outside stores because they're excited the next smartphone came
out, right? You know what would be great? If nobody bought the next smartphone and we just
said this is it, we're done with this one. We're done with this one.
And then we were like Cuba. We just, we just stayed with the fucking cars we had.
We just kept fixing them up and we're like, fuck you.
We're not getting any more of these. And then we stayed with cash. Like,
fuck you.
We're not going into this whole thing where if I want to buy a pack of gum at
7-Eleven, you have to scan my face.
It would be great if we just stopped there, but I don't see us.
I don't see it happening.
I don't see a world where we can get on the same page because anybody who says shit like
that is deemed a conspiracy theorist, a fucking tinfoil-hatted person, or whatever. But I think we're gonna be all right though. I
think we'll be fine because the guy that starred in The Apprentice is president
again and he is currently talking to Dr. Phil about national security. Please tell me. Please tell me that video isn't real. Please tell me that two fucking TV stars are not running this country right now. Please tell me that that's that's that would be like back in the day if one of the hosts from That's Incredible
was talking to fucking Mike Douglas about the Cuban Missile Corps, whatever the fuck was going on.
The Iran hostages. The hostages and Iran. It was like...
Oh my God, stay in your own fucking lane.
Yeah, it's unreal.
The last three presidential elections, is it just me? Is it just me or
the last three presidential elections? I feel like this country was like the Cleveland Browns
trying to pick a quarterback. And how about the Democratic Party? This is the third election
in a row where you didn't get to decide who you were going to have run. You know, you chose Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020.
And they were like, no, fuck you.
Fuck you.
You're not getting anybody that's going after the corporations and the banks.
You're getting a career politician.
Here is Hillary Clinton.
Here is that weekend at Bernie's guy that we just had for the last fucking four years.
And then they wheeled him around for three and a half years.
And at the last second, they're like, all right, yeah, the vice president.
That's, that's your fucking choice.
Um, who not for nothing, you know, standing on the outside, the guy who
always likes the fringe candidate, just saying that like she mopped the floor
with him and the debates and he was such a pussy, he wouldn't go back, but that
doesn't count, doesn't count.
None of the substance does not count.
That's why I'm talking about the pantsuit in my fucking monologue.
Just do what you got to do to get that free drink and then have
respect for yourself.
Speaking of which I want to thank everybody.
Obviously Lauren Michaels everybody over there.
I had such a I could not have had
a better time and the cast was amazing.
Just they have so many friggin' ridiculous, everybody over there was a beast.
Everyone I did a sketch with and what I loved was they were also all in their own lane.
So there was no overlap and there was plenty of room for everybody.
And I don't even know how many sketches I did,
but each one of them was easier than the next
because of the people I was doing the sketches with.
So thank you to them, thank you to the writers,
the whole thing.
And shout out to the musical guests.
McGee, spelled M-K space G-E-E.
I was blown away by them, how cool they were, how great their music was, and then their work ethic.
Like the first day they did soundcheck, I was like, oh, you guys are on the road.
When's your next gig?
And they're like, tonight, we're driving to Philly right now.
So I was like, all right, well, there you go.
That's why they're as good as they are.
That's how it's done.
I know a lot of people don't do it that way anymore, but that's how it was done when I was coming up.
Comedians, musicians, everybody. That's how it's done. I know a lot of people don't do it that way anymore, but that's how it was done when I
was coming up.
Comedians, musicians, everybody, you just road dog every fucking night.
That's how you got better at what you did.
So they were amazing.
And then the lovely Nia came out.
The first time I did it, she stayed in the dressing room, and this time she wanted to walk in the audience.
And I wasn't able to see her until
one of the one sketch I did, I forget which one it was.
I think it was when I was doing the
the support group guy with the man bun.
I looked up and I saw her.
She had a big grin on her face.
And, you know, you know, I've told you forever.
That's out of everybody I make laugh. If I make her laugh, that's the big one for me. So it was
awesome to have her there and yeah, it just, it just was an amazing experience and everybody
over there could not have made it any easier. So pretty goddamn cool, man. And there's no way to say how huge that show is.
Oh, and Dana Carvey. Oh my God.
Dana Carvey doing Elon Musk.
And I got to be on that stage with him in the end.
And having him, you know, say hello and say I did a good job.
It was just like when I first started watching SNL,
it was right before he got on the show. It was when Martin Short, Billy Crystal, those years.
I hate when that happens. And then what was that character that Martin Short used to do with the spiked hair, that crazy dance in the triangle?
Which by the way, he has come up with some of the most insane, amazing characters of all time.
But then Dana's class came in with Dennis, Jan Hooks and all of them, Phil Hartman rest
his soul, all of them. It was just amazing. The whole thing was just, I don't know,
I've been watching it forever and like I'm such still such a huge fan of the
show that at one point I'm sitting there and they're like they got sort of the
the war room board up there and they're trying to figure out the show.
And I'm sitting up there and I'm watching
Lorne Michaels looking at the board and talking to people and everything.
And I was able to be present enough to be like, how nuts is it
that I am in this guy's office right now and I'm hosting this show?
This is insane.
I used to watch this in high school and I used to come to school on Monday
and me and my friends would talk about all the sketches and now I'm on this thing.
And I was thinking, you know, someday I'll be like, God willing in my seventies or eighties
walking past Rockefeller Center, you know, thinking, ah man, I did that show and it happened
right in there and all of that.
I was able to think all of that stuff as it was happening.
So it was a great time. All right. and all that. I was able to think all of that stuff as it was happening so it was a great time. All right sorry about that. That's gonna seem weird in the edit but my
kid's a little sick came in I had to deal with that. All right I'm back.
I'm gonna finish this fucking podcast. It's now 11 o'clock at night east coast time. All right here
we go. This is not the Monday morning podcast. It's the Monday evening podcast.
Yeah, I had to put the kids to bed and do all of that. We watched the end of the
dolphins beating the rams. I mean, what's up with that, man? Anyway, it was fun to be back in New York.
They were putting up the Christmas tree, man.
And after I would be done rehearsing every night, I kept going down to the cellar.
I would do the cellar, the village underground, and then go back to the cellar, run the monologue
like three times a night.
So they had like a car service, so I would jump in the car and I would go down
Fifth Avenue and they don't have one bus lane, they have two fucking bus lanes and
then everybody's just jammed over there with the cars like this went back to Bloomberg
for some reason.
I think those richy rich people they look at Europe and they just love that everyone
rides around on fucking bicycles and everything.
And I think that works well for Europe. I just don't think we are set up the same way.
It's really difficult, I think, to go from horses to cars back to bikes.
I think if you went from horses to bikes and then to cars.
Like we never really did the bike thing. Maybe? I don't think so. I'm trying to
think of a period where there was a button in any of our cities where it was
mainly people riding bicycles. Like you just don't see that but in Europe they
kind of have had that.
So I feel like their cities are more set up for that.
I was going to pick my kids up from school today and there was a person on a fucking scooter,
this woman, I swear to God, young, like in her 20s or something,
and my buddy, my writing partner was following me over
because we were going to grab something to eat and we were working on this scene
in the script and then I was going to, you know, we go our separate ways
and go, I go get my kids.
I look at a few mirror.
It's two lanes on our side.
And this person just was like in the left lane.
And then they just changed to the right lane, never looked back.
And I just laughed to myself thinking like that's the same kind of person that says I would never
ride a motorcycle. It was terrifying. I was just looking, I was going look at this fucking idiot.
Then she went by me and I realized that it was she was only like her 20s and that it was a woman.
And that's why I was just thinking like I immediately thought of my daughter doing that. I was like, Oh my God, I would, I would have a heart attack. Um, but anyway,
so going back to New York is, uh, yeah, I finally, I finally got in myself. I wasn't
good with New York where I was sort of off my game.
Like I used to know how to navigate it.
But once those electric bikes came in over the last like 10 years, like, oh my
God, the amount of times I almost got clipped and now I'm kind of like used to
that bike lane and that's the thing.
They're not fucking bicycles.
They're like these a little, they're like mopeds,
except they're electric.
That's essentially what they are at this point.
But mopeds made noise, so you knew that they were coming.
These fucking things, it's like,
remember Scott Stevens move in the NHL?
You'd be following through on a fucking slap shot,
and he would come gliding by with his shoulder
and just end your fucking career.
I felt like that's what was going to happen when I was out there.
And then, you know, typical humanity, you blame the person that gets hit, not the fucking
person that did the hitting.
So this is the first time I was back in New York and I felt good about that.
And then another amazing thing is Trump Tower is right there.
So there's all of this security there because now he's going to be president again.
And I was just looking at that building and then seeing like
what he has down in Florida.
And I have to be fucking honest with you.
I don't know what the fuck he's doing, why he went out and got another job.
And not only that, think about this.
This fucking guy is worth like whatever the fuck he's worth.
You never know with him.
It's not like he ever tells the fucking truth, right? But like, let's just say it's anywhere near what he's suggesting.
You're going in there to do a job that pays 400 fucking grand because you're mad at Jimmy Kimmel.
I think Jimmy's gonna have the last laugh if you're like you own a skyscraper and you live on the top of it and you can fucking golf whenever you want and
fly private down to Florida why the fuck would you want to go back to this shit oh
my god and somebody took a fucking shot at him all right I forgot to put in an Would you want to go back to this shit?
Oh my God, and somebody took a fucking shot at him? Alright, I forgot to put it in airplane mode, then somebody called.
Anyways, why the fuck would you want that job?
You know?
I have no fucking idea. I have no fucking idea.
And don't he give me this shit? Oh, he loves the country. I have no fucking idea.
And don't he give me this shit? Oh, he loves the country.
Give me a fucking break with that shit.
He loves himself.
I don't know. It is, it is so fascinating.
Having grown up with narcissists and that type of thing,
watching this guy's fucking behavior is incredible to me.
This is my theory. I don't think the dude wants the job.
I think what he wanted was he wants the attention.
And then I used to know somebody like that.
Like, you ever meet somebody like they,
if they're not running the show,
they like try to sabotage the show.
So then you finally go, all right, you lead.
And then it's like, they don't do it
and don't wanna do it.
It's a very bizarre thing. Look, I look at I'm probably fucking projecting this because
of some fucking assholes that I grew up with, whatever. I'm probably wrong. Who knows? But
anyway, just where my head was at, I was walking down and I was looking at the building and it's like gorgeous in a Trump way, you know, black with gold, kind of new money, very gaudy. Like if you're
watching the Penguin, that's, you know, when he pulls up in his purple Maserati
with the fucking gold rims, like you could see him like walking into a place like that. But anyway,
it was fun to be back in New York and it was also fun to see it not nearly as fucked up as
everybody's trying to make it. I know it's not as nice as it was. I know there is problems and that
type of stuff, but I was taking the subway. I was not stepping over piles of human shit and everything like they
try to make it out on Instagram, the same way they make out Los
Angeles, like Los Angeles is on fire. And it's fucking skid row
and people loving living under benches and I mean bridges and
it's a third world country and all this shit that people are
saying it's like none of that is true. That's just kind of like
what they show you on the news.
So Billy Freckles is getting ready to hit the road.
I burned some material on SNL.
I always believe you go with the best shit that you have.
But like there was stuff that I just wrote that week like the McDonald's thing, Trump and McDonald's and, uh, women wearing pantsuits to run for office.
Um, I swear to God, if they just dressed like they were trying to get into a nightclub,
that would, that would be it.
That would, they, they would win every fucking election.
And then once you get in there, then you can put on the pantsuit and be a beacon of womanhood
for all the women out there, you know.
But you know, you got to get in the club first.
Anyway, what else?
Now that I've done this, started and stopped with this thing fucking three times,
I have no idea how much time I did.
It feels like it's time to start doing, uh, doing what?
Let's talk a little football here first before I do the ad reads and then read your guys' questions.
Um, how about the Kansas City Chiefs?
Alright?
Them trying to go undefeated.
It's ridiculously hard to go undefeated. And I think one of the most
overrated things ever is that stupid 72 Dolphins team. Would they, you know what I mean?
I respect them, but the way that they like drank champagne every year when that
happened, sort of rooting against people, I always thought was really douchey so I and and
And anyway now to have an undefeated season
At this point it's you have 17 and oh just to get out of the regular season
The Dolphins back then it was 14 like 17 and oh that you were done
With the playoffs like two rounds of play out and then 17 and 0 that you were done with the playoffs.
Like two rounds of playoff and then the Super Bowl and you were done.
Now it's like you have to go 17 and 0.
And then you gotta go 20 and 0 now to be, to be, just to equal a 17 and 0 team.
It doesn't make any difference.
That's like the Patriots, a year we went 18 and 1.
We won one more game than the fucking Miami Dolphins.
And it was a fucking playoff game too.
Way more scrutiny, way more competitiveness and all that type of shit.
And then they get to be, you know, drinking their fucking champagne.
Like the 72 Dolphins wouldn't get friggin ass raped by the fucking 2007 Patriots.
It's so stupid.
It's so dumb to compare that far away.
So I would say if the Chiefs go 20 and 0.
20 and 0.
If you win 20 fucking NFL games, 17 season three fucking playoff games and to three Pete
I don't see anybody
topping that three-year run
It's insane
And this week the way that they won
You know to go undefeated I watched the Patriots do that
through the regular right up to the Superbowl. Like we had a
lot of luck, a lot of things went our way and then people
making plays and the Chiefs blocking that field goal just
willing themselves making something happen. Somebody
stepping up. This is now like looking like, wow, like they could, they could actually.
They can actually do this, even though they had like a close game
against a division rival, but that always happens.
Um, like I think if they're going to lose, if they haven't played
San Diego twice yet, I think San Diego is good enough.
There's some about those division rivalry games like, like even when the Patriots were the Patriots,
like the Dolphins still got us almost every year one time. So there's always like that one team
that just seems to have your number and your division that you can't sweep or whatever. So
sweep or whatever. So we shall see. And with that, let's do the, uh, the reads for the week here.
I have no idea. Where did I put them? Did I put them in this thing? I didn't put them there.
Oh, for God sakes, Bill, I swear to God. What is that expression? You could fuck up a two-car funeral.
You could fuck up a free lunch. There's all kinds of them, but that's what I'm doing right now. Okay, here we go. The live reads.

All right listener from Paraguay
Hey, Billy Baguette, honestly, I was surprised that you knew of the existence of Paraguay
Look at me in my intellectual high horse on my intellectual high horse I think you mean so I thought I'd write
in to let you know that you had a listener here holy shit
I wanted to also tell you that our version of go fuck yourself
in Garani
which is our second language
I don't know how to say it.
Terojona... a ha... a hapero? Is that J silence? Which means go jerk off. If you want to be
more inflammatory you would say Terojona a hapero... tuner, tuneri, which means go stick a cactus up your ass.
It's very specific.
I could also teach you something nice in Guarani.
I'm sorry I'm butchering this, but that's not as fun.
Love from Paraguay.
Thank you. And he says in Guarani or whatever,
Terojona a Japiro.
Well, all right.
Isn't that nice?
There's a fucking Billy Redface in Paraguay
telling people to shove a cactus up their ass.
I like that.
Pilates, dear Bill, regarding the Pilates email you read on Monday, 1028, I was a former
Marine Corps paratrooper during the 90s.
And in 2019, dude, that's amazing.
It's not enough that you join the Marines, you also got to jump out of a fucking plane
as a Marine.
You win the testosterone contest this week, dude. That's amazing. Oh and happy Veterans Day. Is it me? Was Veterans Day ever in
fucking November? Wasn't it in a different month? Wasn't it in September?
Memorial Day's in May, Labor Day's September. Wasn't Veterans Day... wasn't
February? That was President's Day. When the fuck did was that ever in November?
I don't know. Anyway, and in 2019 finally had to accept spinal fusion surgery was
in my near future as only 47 year old at the time. Three discs fused. Wow. I was extremely overweight at the time going on four or
five years prior to the surgery because I couldn't work out as my back was in so
much pain so the surgery was necessary. After trying bicycling, yoga and various
other exercise activities for physical therapy, my wife got me hooked on
Pilates and it changed my life forever. Dude, you're like the 90th old guy that has told me that Pilates is the shit.
My life changed my life forever. I've lost 45 pounds and gaining muscle mass, the
likes I haven't seen since my early 20s when I was in the service. I really think
you should check it out as the prior email stated it's a full body workout and you feel incredible afterwards. Oh God well I got all the
fucking dumbbells now I got to go out and go buy that fucking medieval torture
bed. No Bill you could go to a class I'm anti-social I got to buy the bed and
then get it hook up a VCR to a square TV
and I'll do the workout that way.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Okay, wife or knife?
Oh my God.
Hello, you old freckled mozzarella.
I have a question, how to deal with a relationship?
I'm in my early 30s and my girlfriend is about the same age.
We have been together for about four years.
No children of pets.
I've started to see more and more things I have trouble to tolerate.
She has started to gain some weight and lives a bit unhealthy.
I have no problem with the little chubby, but now there is starting to be a bit of a
gut. She takes all these over-the-counter medicines every day instead of living healthier.
Started complaining on everyday things such as the weather and walking. Started making a lot of
eating noises. Yeah she's begun the dying process. She's got to get out off that stuff.
Yeah, she's begun the dying process. She's got to get out off that stuff.
These fucking pharmaceutical companies, they just, they're in bed with the food supply.
They turn the food supply into poison and then they have these fucking pills to keep
you living, but not in a healthy way.
So you can keep eating the food and keep feeling sick and just making money off of you.
Started making a lot of eating noises.
She had a small cancer half a year ago,
had surgery and is now cured.
I have an expensive chef's knife.
I've told her many times how to handle it,
not to put it in the sink, only cut on a cutting board,
which has been disrespected.
Jesus, dude, you're writing very very coldly making eating noises. I have
a very expensive knife. I told you how to use it and you've been using it.
Disrespect. Okay. Yesterday I found her cutting against a metal plate with it. I
told her no and handed her another knife. She told me it's fine. It's just the top
and continued cutting until I got more upset.
I don't care so much about the knife, but more about the disrespectful act. I get that.
She said she was sorry, not sure if I'm being petty breaking up over these things as we have a
lot of fun together otherwise. I'm tired of arguing as I work long shifts and she easily
starts crying. Not sure if I'm an asshole if I bring up the other stuff.
Your pod makes my work easier.
Big fan of the stand-up.
Fuck you and your sports.
All right, dude.
Well, I can tell you this right now.
From the way you're describing her continuing to put on weight and making noises when she's
eating and then complaining about moving around and now she's taking all of these pills and
she's had cancer, like, if you're going to stay with this person, I mean, how do you
how do you lead a horse to water?
Oh, wait, you can lead him to water. How do you make him drink it?
How do you lead a cow to a smoothie?
I'm sorry, to a fucking juice.
Listen, dude, you're asking a comedian, but there was a lot of medical red flags in there.
And I have no expertise expertise so you shouldn't
listen to this this is just a guy sitting on the fucking podcast bar stool
next to you that's not gonna end well and it's not gonna end well rapidly if
she keeps going the direction that she's going it if you're not married yet and
you want to have kids and somebody who's a
cancer survivor and well on their way to being obese, I don't know how that works out. So
if you're going to stay with this person,
that's a lot of work to put in.
If somebody is going off the fucking deep end like that, and I would say this to a woman
too, like if you're dating some guy and all of a sudden he's doing what this woman is
doing, you know, as far as her disrespecting your knife, I mean, that's just what it's
like. I don't know if's just what it's like.
I don't know if that's what it's like to live with a woman but it's at the very least it's what it's like to live with another person.
I don't know. I think if it was a guy he thinks like,
all right I gotta like respect this guy's knife before he stabs me with it.
Where a woman's just like, I'm like, oh yeah myself fucking
Net picky for I don't think that they give a shit
but I think the big thing here is her health and
The question is is you love this person enough to try and help her turn her life around because she's not doing any she is
She's living her life like a mouth breathing fucking moron
All right. She's letting herself go to shit. She's eaten awful and she's disrespecting like this
this person seems like a lot both in the weight department and as a person.
So I feel like you are definitely at a crossroads and you either hold her hand into the Dairy Queen
and watch her just basically kill herself or she makes the healthier choice and goes to the health
food restaurant or you let go of her hand and you walk in the opposite direction down the street.
That's where you're at and that's a decision you have to fucking make.
But I notice this overwhelming thing with men now is they
question how they're feeling.
Like, am I being like too much?
Am I like making a bigger deal out of this?
And that's kind of where we are right now, publicly, where a
woman doesn't have to think, am I being like a fucking nag?
Am I being a pain in the ass?
Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?
They don't do that shit.
So, you know, if you're with somebody that does that, then I would extend.
What I'm trying to say here is respect is a two-way street.
All right?
Okay.
Good luck with that, sir.
All right, girlfriend says I have a staring problem.
Dear Billy Speedbag, I have been dating this girl for about six months now and 95% of the time things have been going amazing.
Dude, 95% is pretty ridiculous.
She's smart, pretty, and has a good career. She is building for herself.
We have our occasional little arguments about small things from time to time that doesn't all
but have been a
few occasions that we have gotten into blowouts
that have made me really question the relationship.
All right, over the past six months
we've had this same argument three separate times,
and each time I get more fed up.
Every time it is played out the same way.
We go out on a date, everything's going perfect, and then all of a sudden my girlfriend's mood switches,
switches like a light switch, and instantly I can tell something is wrong.
After asking her multiple times what her deal is, she will finally open up with some passive aggressive remark along the lines of,
you know, if you want to go out, if you want to go get that girl's number, just go for it.
Okay, she insists that I have a bad problem with eye fucking other girls and that it is embarrassing to her and that her boyfriend has a staring problem.
Bill, on every occasion that we've had this argument, I literally couldn't even recall
what girl she's accusing me
of staring at. Dude, this is so hard because you're gonna say that you're
not doing it. She's saying that she's doing it. How the fuck do I answer this?
I'm 26 and not new to the dating game and I have had a few serious
relationships in the past and this girl is the first one to ever bring up this
problem and cause arguments about it. The first two times we had this argument, I gave in and just apologized even though
I knew I did nothing wrong and said something along the lines of, I'm really sorry it appeared
that way.
I didn't realize I was doing that and I will do better to try and stop it in the future.
Last night we had the exact same argument but this time I stood my ground.
Good for you.
And I told her it was bullshit and that she needs to stop projecting insecurities of her past on me
and start believing me and trusting me.
Okay, I was going to say to say that if you're not eye-fucking people.
Number one, I'm not looking at anyone else in a sexual or attracted way.
Number two, I would never intentionally do something
to make her uncomfortable or embarrassed in that way.
Bill, I'm a little lost here.
Clearly there has to be something from her past or some sort of past relationship trauma she went through
that would make her so quick to just assume that I'm staring at other girls while I'm with her.
But I can't keep having this argument over and over again when I am generally from the bottom of my heart not staring at anybody else except for her.
Seeing as how this is a repeated problem and these arguments have really been putting a strain on our relationship,
do you think it's time for me to break up with her?
Or do you think she is valid and it's possible I'm doing this subconsciously
and generally not noticing them staring at girls.
Thanks in advance and go fuck yourself.
First of all, I have no fucking idea what you're doing.
Like how would I know whether you're doing it or not?
You're saying you're not doing it, she's saying you are.
I can tell you this, whatever you're doing is driving her up the fucking wall whether
you're doing it or not. And the fact that you're saying that 95% of the time it's cool,
but you're asking me if you should break up with this person over this shit, I don't think you love him.
I don't think it's worth it.
And if this is the deal, all I can go on is what you said.
So if you're not staring and she's doing this shit,
and not only is she doing this shit,
she makes you ask five fucking times
before she comes up with it,
I would make one final attempt
and I would do this before you go out
and just say, listen, this is the deal.
I'm going out tonight, I'm taking you out.
I'm buying you dinner.
Okay, I am out to dinner with you.
You're the person I want to be out to dinner with.
But I want to tell you this.
If you start that you're staring at people again when I'm fucking not like
I'm not living my life this way.
What does that mean?
And just say, you know, what do you think that means?
Because that's what they're going to do.
Well, what the fuck does that mean?
Because you can't put any fucking parameters on them as they're doing it to you.
Or what you do is you just go out with them.
And you just go out with her and if she accuses you again of it, then that's it.
That's it. Then it's a fucking rap.
Or there's the last option like, well you said you asked her if this is some sort of past thing, like did some guy cheat on her?
I have like no idea or she has some sort of insecurity.
like did some guy cheat on her? I have like no idea or she has some sort of insecurity.
However, if you are, you know, looking lustfully at women, just maybe not do that, maybe stop doing that.
But if you're not, I have to be honest with you, on the outside of that, that just does not sound, I don't give a fuck how good-looking she is, how much of a good time you're having.
If somebody is just like that...
This is what I do with like...
I always did with like women like that, is...
I will apologize one or two times, depending on how much this person's in my life. But then once I have that third dust up,
this is how I handle females. I have a third dust up with them. What I do with that and I still have
to interact with them, what I just kind of do is I'm just like, all right, I'm gonna let this person lead.
All right, if they want to talk to me they can can fucking talk. If they don't, then I'm just going to just shut the fuck up
because obviously whatever the fuck it is that I'm doing is not,
you know, is not working.
And I'll even do that with my wife.
Like if she's just like fucking annoyed with me, I just, all right,
well, then I'm just going to, I will be here.
I'm not going to be like here and angry or here and sad. I'm just going to, I will be here. I'm not going to be like here and angry
or here and sad.
I'm just going to I'm just like here.
Not happy, not sad, not disappointed, not anything, just fucking.
Just here.
Is there any? All right, yeah, everything's cool.
And then they just do that. Well, you're not talking. It's like, well, when I open my mouth, you just get mad at me.
So like what the fuck am I supposed to, you know?
What, this, you know,
this is the thing about women. They're a fucking Rubik's Cube. All right, and you're not gonna, you just,
you're not gonna figure them out.
So,
you gotta get one that is worth the annoyance.
Not to say that men aren't annoying but you know I don't date men. I'm sure women
could say the exact same fucking thing. That's what it is. So like I will say
though that when fucking women get mad and then they won't tell you why they're
fucking mad and they just keep me, they're just constantly, how much does he care about
me?
Is he willing to ask me 17 times what the fucking problem is?
And then what's funny is once you fucking, they just play games with you.
And then once you stop playing the game, then they become the cool chick that you
fucking fell in love with.
And they stop being a fucking asshole.
But that's just to get you to fucking sign up for another tour of duty.
All right. I'm going off of here.
But I don't know.
Just my gut says the fact that you're considering breaking if 95% of this
cool but this is so fucking annoying I don't think you love this chick.
I don't and I don't like what are you supposed to do?
There's nothing to fucking beautiful woman walks by we're not supposed to fucking do
the side glance I mean you can't like the second like every guy just like notices if high heels are on a linoleum floor behind a table
full of men they're all going to turn around look and not even know they're fucking doing it. You know
it's just I don't know it's just how we are so I don't know that does's just how we are. So I don't know. That does not sound like a fun situation.
And reading it, I was hoping that you were going to get out of it, either by working it out with her or getting out of the relationship.
But the fact that you wrote in, it's enough of an issue in the relationship that it needs to be handled.
So you got to just have a conversation like, listen, we're talking about this one last time.
Okay, because I'm not doing this shit. And if whatever the fuck you think it is that I am doing
is bothering you at this level, then you need to move on to another guy.
Okay, because I'm not going to fucking say what do you want me to come to the table with blinders
on like a fucking horse? All right.
the table with blinders on like a fucking horse.
All right.
Look at any guy in here. I don't give a fuck.
You're looking at him.
Why wouldn't you look at him?
There's better looking guys than him.
I don't give a shit.
I honestly don't give a fuck.
Tell you not to look at somebody.
I'm not going to tell you what to do and then fucking extend that to me.
Don't tell me what to do.
Let me kind of be in a relationship but not feel like somebody sitting on somebody else's
chest.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But I have noticed in the last few years, men writing in more and more going like, am
I making too big a deal of this.
She's still hanging out with her ex boyfriend and mine is there's something wrong with.
I mean, I'm trying to give her her space.
It's fucking hilarious.
We're getting away with murder right now.
All right, house husband.
Dear Billy Brazilian, but lift.
My wife is lazy and I'm kind of at my wits end.
Can some woman write in and bitch about her boyfriend so I can balance this out?
Fear not, this will be a proofread email because I'm not an ignorant cunt.
Alright, she's lazy and I'm kind of at my wits end.
Alright, for background, I'm the breadwinner at a stay at home tech job and have been providing us
with amazing experiences like trips to Asia,
fancy dinners and other nice things
that a good salary brings.
My wife works with children with autism,
which I think is fucking hot.
That's a weird way to describe it.
I wasn't saying she's a saint.
You're like, ah, dude, I love. You ever meet a chick that fucking works with kids with
autism? That's whatever. That's what you're into. That turns you on. Hey, and
brings in a salary, common new rate, common new rate, I don't know what that means. With how much our society values that worth.
Next to nothing. Isn't that unbelievable? I mean she must come home fucking exhausted.
That's all good because I joke with her that I'm the bloodless capitalist who will make sure we will retire not in poverty
and I fund her saving the world.
So you got a sense of humor.
You guys got a nice sense of humor in the relationship.
This is our relationship bargain.
We have no kids and don't plan on any.
Yet she goes to work every day helping out special needs kids.
I'm trying to find out where she's lazy.
But here's where I keep getting annoyed throughout the years.
And it's not that she's straight up not doing chores or something.
It's the quiet quitting of the household chores.
For instance, we have an automated cat litter box,
but she never checks the app that tells you when to take out the litter.
It falls on me every time to do it.
When she's asked to do the dishes, I always do half of it for her first.
There's huffing and puffing and she'll just rinse the easy shit, put it into the appliance
and leave the hand washing of pots and pans to me.
She's perpetually tired whenever chores come up.
She's been trying for her masters in her field since before the pandemic.
This would basically double her salary and four years later she's still struggling to
finish this thing.
It's not anything to do with the academic rigor.
It's completely due to her not caring enough to resign for her classes to continue her degree
Doubling her salary could be an amazing thing for us, but she's been lackadaisical about this degree for six years now
I literally told her it's disrespectful for her to fuck off on this while I'm busting my ass
Trying to improve our lives by making more money and she's still nowhere near finishing this degree. This fucking gets me because I'm waking up every morning thinking
about how can I make our lives easier. All right well dude how much money do
you need to make if you fucking you don't have any kids and you're flying
to Asia? I mean it seems like you're doing really well maybe maybe you're
working too hard I don't know. So I feel like I'm the 40s house-spouse that does every fucking thing to keep
the household together and I'm not seeing the support. When I try to bring
this up to her, it takes for a month maybe and then we're back to the same old
shit. I love her, she's my partner and I wanna make this work
but how in the fuck do I get through to her?
Anyway, I love your comedy, I take only bits of your advice
because I'm a fully functioning adult
and hope you have a helpful perspective here or not.
Go fuck yourself, yours truly, male housewife.
go fuck yourself yours truly male housewife um yeah i mean i i
once again you're trying to change somebody you can't change somebody they have to want to change So, I mean, I've had a million roommates that didn't do their fucking dishes and there
was nothing you could do to make them do their dishes.
Or then they would do them and they wouldn't do a good job and then you have to redo a
third of them.
They're fucking children.
All right?
And I think you just have to put your foot down is basically what's it
has to happen and you have to be like, listen, you want to go to Asia.
You have to fucking do your dishes.
You have to do your dishes half the time.
I am not your maid.
And I have to be honest with you, the fucking balls of somebody, if you're
with somebody and they're making more money and you're not making any fucking money,
anywhere near that money and this is what sustaining your lifestyle is
and you're not doing the dishes, you should be fucking homeless.
I think it's ridiculous that you should have to tolerate that.
I think it's ridiculous that you should have to tolerate that.
And I can tell you, let me ask you this, if it was the other way around,
okay, if she was making all that fucking money,
and you had a job that for whatever reason wasn't paying that money,
you were dragging your feet to get you know a piece of paper that's gonna double your money and then you weren't doing your
dishes how long would any woman put up with that I think you gotta you gotta
put your foot down there dude and just say listen I've talked to you about this
time and again and it's goes good for a month,
and then we're right back to it. And I am not tolerating it anymore.
I'm not going to make all of this money,
pay for this house and take us to Asia,
and then you also do all the dishes.
It's not fair to me.
All right?
And...
Yeah, that's it.
And if you want to not do your fucking dishes, go get your fucking degree.
Go get your degree.
And with that extra money, we'll fucking, I don't know what we'll do.
We'll get some fucking, we'll buy a robot to do the fucking dishes.
I have no idea, but you shouldn't have to put up with that.
If you're basically paying for the lifestyle and all of that, you shouldn't
have to, and I would just give her a fucking ultimatum.
Like this is not, I'm not living the rest of my life doing your fucking dishes and
paying all the bills and flying us to fucking Asia.
That's not what's happening.
So I respect the fact that you don't like doing dishes.
If you think that is worth, um, sending this relationship into a direction where it's going to end,
then let me know right now.
Because I'm, you know, what the fuck, dude, you have one life, you're not living your
life doing another adult's dishes and paying all the fucking bills.
That's it.
That is a completely understandable point to be at.
But the thing is, you can't be all talk.
Because if she just agrees and does this other thing, then you have to walk.
That's how that works. And watch when you walk.
Watch how quick she gets her fucking degree.
All right.
That is the podcast, everybody.
Go fuck yourselves.
Once again, thank you for everyone who watched SNL and thank you so much to all the writers,
the entire cast, everybody that works on the show.
Thank you so much.
I could not have had a better time.
It really was one of the high points of my career.
So thank you so much and I'll talk to you guys on Thursday.
And we're brought to you by Airbnb.
So yeah, whenever I travel, I really try to always stay in an Airbnb.
I have a trip coming up where I'm going on tour and I have like five down days in the Pacific
Northwest and I'm with a couple buddies of mine and since we had like three or four down days,
we're like why don't we just get a place in kind of the middle of Oregon, just peaceful sort of
retreat kind of deal, be around nature, just able to hang out and that's what we did and we found
some great options there. The plan is to just do some grilling, some hanging, but truly just you know great views and
everything and we were able to get a real sense of what the place was gonna
look like. So yeah I'm excited to do that just to kind of be out in the middle of
nowhere with some buddies and some nature and a nice place you know that
has all the amenities I want. But while I'm gone you know I was also like well I
have my place just there
and it's always nice to have someone stay at your place.
And I'm like, well, my place could probably be an Airbnb.
You know, it's a nice, comfortable place.
I feel like anyone staying here will enjoy it.
And you know, obviously that way,
I kind of earn some extra cash that I can use for my trip
from someone staying
here.
You know, I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs in the past and I travel often and my place
sits empty so putting it to use by hosting on Airbnb feels like the smart thing to do.
So let your place earn a little extra cash while you're away.
Your home might be worth more than you think.
