Yes, great!
The Leise, along with the Gleven
How are you?
How are you doing? You're doing good? That's good
I'm not, I hope you are, I'm not
You know, I was going to try to tough my way through this podcast
And smile and act like everything's fucking rosy
Oh Jesus Christ
It just never fucking ends
It never ends, never fucking ends
The work never fucking ends
And on top of that, I sat down and watched some sports this weekend
Let's get it out of the way
Oh, oh, how many of you Dolphin fans left the sports bar?
Be honest
How many of you went out into the kitchen and heard your one loyal friend still in front of the TV going
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my no way
Right?
And then you ran back in like what happened, what happened?
Jesus fucking Christ
That last play of that game, that literally, you know what that highlight looked like?
Not the first guy who caught it, the guy who ladder-lit too
That literally looked like, you know, when you see an NFL great
And then you look at one of his high school highlights
Specifically the running backs
You ever notice it's like there's 20 people on the other team
It seems all standing around, he just runs past all of them
And you're like, why didn't they just tackle him?
Oh, because he's an NFL guy playing against high school football players
That happened against my team
I felt bad for Gronk, he was obviously in there because they thought they were going to throw a Hail Mary
Rather than like a fucking 15, 20-yard pass
Congratulations to the Dolphins, you fucking onus in Miami
Patriots now 9 and 4
I think it's a foregone conclusion
That the road to the Super Bowl is now goes through Kansas City
It's going to be a fun playoff
Not for Patriots fans, not the way our fucking defense was playing yesterday
Jeez, Tom Brady, once again, once again
His dilemma, how many fucking points do I have to score?
How many times do I got to put on the white hat, gallop into town and fucking save all the Dambels is in distress?
How many times do I get to look fucking unbelievable?
Absolutely shredded the Dolphins defense
And once again comes away with a loss
I would love to see, he has to have the record
All-time record for passing yards in a loss
500 yards, 300 yards, 400 yards, it's fucking 8, 4 touchdowns
3 touchdowns, 5 touchdowns, it doesn't make a difference
In this age of no fucking defense
I'll tell you, defense is so bad, they got Gronk playing safety
Jesus Christ
There were so many times in that game where we could have put him away and we didn't
So, but you know, it is, it's a transitional year
We lost our best running back to wide receivers, a left tackle in a cornerback
And you know, it takes a while for people all to get on the same page and every day of their night
At least on the last play of the game, Jesus Christ
How do those guys even look at Tom Brady?
You know, when you fucking do something like that
Gronk was probably like, hey, not for nothing, I did catch one for you today, Tom
Tom just fucking glares at him, right, as he puts on his uggs
Fucking brutal
Bruins went back to back, huh?
How about that fucking, that guy up there, Hyman
Hitting Charlie McAvoy, I missed the game because I've been out going to these fucking Christmas parties and shit out here
Still haven't drank, still have not drank, fucking 15 days in, feeling good about myself
Fucking, thousand one, thousand two, boom!
I mean, McAvoy, I think that was his first game back
But either way, we're winning games, winning games with the new coach and all that
And I'm hoping I'm going to actually get some time
I follow him on Twitter or whatever, I watch the highlights and shit, so I know what's going on
I beat Ottawa tonight, 2-1 and overtime
I don't know, I'm just trying to spend time with the family bag, easy
Been having a great time
One of my relatives bought this motorized car
For my daughter, and she liked it the first day and then
I don't know what happened, I think she pushed the button and it ran over her little foot
And then she's kind of like, what's with this thing? So she kind of stayed away from it
So finally tonight, I just got on the thing at the risk of breaking it
And I was just going up and down the hallway, going weeeeee
And finally, she wanted to get on it
And then all of a sudden, now she doesn't want to get off it
It was pretty awesome
She doesn't get staring or stopping yet, but I just sort of run along with the
Bent at the waist for maximum fucking up of my dad back
You know what I mean?
I'm telling you, if you're a dad, you got to get one of those foam rollers every night and every morning
I'm just on the floor, rolling out my back, it's great
It's great, sometimes in the middle of the day, but I must have for like 40 minutes
Running around like fucking Igor in Frankenstein, like literally at 90 degrees
Bent at the waist to trying, running behind her, trying to steer this thing
So she wouldn't drive into chairs and countertops and all of this shit
And then when she was finally done, I went to stand up and I just did the
But it was worth it, because that's my buddy
I also watched Liverpool vs Bournemouth
B-O-U-R-N-E-M-O-U-T-H
Told you I was going to start watching them
Jesus Christ, Mo Salah, four goals
Does that ever happen?
I felt like I was watching some Wayne Gretzky shit
Every time I watched that guy, other than the World Cup
Didn't go so well for Egypt there, but he scored a bunch of goals and I really enjoyed it
And I got to tell you, it was raining out once again
And I had this ridiculous urge to start drinking some Guinness with some fucking shots of Jameson
And I'm just like, you know, it's weird
Everything about Great Britain, Ireland, anything over there
Just makes me want to drink
Because I think because of the movies that I see, you know
Binky Blinders, don't know nothing about no robbery
Right? All they do is booze on that show when they're not throwing their little sharp hats at people
You know, Ireland is fucking Ireland, you know
Scotland, you know, they're up there drinking that fucking pintar looking beer
It's just, you know, it's always raining
What do you want to do when it's raining out, you know?
You want to start boozing
But really, shit fucking defense in that game, huh?
But you know what I finally understood?
I'm starting to understand off-sides a little bit more
I guess I get it
Because the goal is so big you can't have people just running all around
It'd be fucking great if you could though
I think the thing that I would adjust
On
If I was to buy into a soccer league here in America
I would make the goal smaller
And then I would just have a blue line in hockey
And once she got into the zone, whoever was the fastest motherfucker
Could get out front, you know
You just make the goal a little bit smaller
Somewhere between soccer-sized goal and highlight
You know, somewhere in there
Bigger than an NHL goal
Obviously it's a giant fucking ball
Sorry, I'm recording this late at night
I gotta be up with the kid tomorrow morning
So I gotta do this
But I really enjoyed it
What's the next game?
What's the next game we have?
Out there in fucking Premier League
Let's see here
Liverpool
You cunt
Liverpool
Football
Schedule
Come on, come on, there we go
Bum-bum-bum-bum
Do-do-do-do-do-do
I thought they had another game
Oh, this one's a 12-19
I need 12-18
I definitely want to see that Man United game
Because they're like the fucking Yankees
Oh, Liverpool vs. Napoli
This is gonna be another one of these football clubs
With the really small stadiums
It makes me feel guilty for rooting for Liverpool
To see somebody with one of those cute little stadiums
They're like, well, look at them
I got a roof for these guys
It's like the Kansas City Royals
Or the fucking Premier League
Then they got Man United
Then they're up against Wolves
That does not ring a bell
Is that one of those little last stadium clubs?
Or is that gonna be one of those fucking Illuminati
Freemason fucking
It's got a creepy logo, I kinda like it
New Castles, New Castle, right?
That's a bigger place
Arsenal's Arsenal
I know those are the bigger ones, right?
They got some big games
Man United and Arsenal
I recognize them
12-16 and 12-29
I'll be watching those games
You know, if I'm allowed to
If I'm allowed to
You know, as a guy
You don't call the fucking shots, do you?
No, you do not
You know
Oh, jeez, what a fucking weird
Nah, it's not a weird week
It's just sort of a normal week now
You know, people digging back into people's tweets
Yeah, you fucking said them
When you said this
Back when you were this person
That you no longer are
Remember when you fucking did that
Then somebody else comes along
What about these people?
They fucking did that
And then the whole world's like
Well, they have vaginas
So it doesn't count
I saw this fucking lady
The lady, former Miss Kentucky
Said naked pictures to a 15-year-old student
Yeah, if you watch the slap on the wrist
She gets
It's how it works
That's the world we live in
They have victims
And they never get punished for some reason
I just don't understand it
I thought we were going for equality here
It's like if you fuck up, you fuck up, right?
Everybody gets fucking
The same fucking pound of flesh taken
No, is that not how it works?
I don't know how it works
All I know is now is I'm feeling like
This is like
It's gonna become a world where it's just like
Ah, you know, I'll kind of do that job
But I don't want to be the guy doing the job job
I'll be on the outskirts of the guy doing the job
Because I'm not gonna, you know
You know, people just
I don't know this whole fucking world now
Where like people are just
Oh, that guy's successful
Or she's successful
Let's go back and let's try to fucking ruin
Whatever they're doing
I think if you fucking do that
Someone should go back into your life
Interview a bunch of people
And let's see if you're a good fucking person
Because if you're not, I mean, what the fuck's going on?
Then you're just being a cunt
You're just upset because somebody else
Has something that you don't, is that what it is?
I don't know
Anyways, so
Today I went to this awesome birthday party
It was a friend of ours
So we go over there
My lovely life
And my beautiful daughter, right?
And it's like a two-year-old birthday
So we fucking go over there
And we're having a great time
And then there's one big kid there
She's like six years old
She's like the older sister or somebody or whatever
And she's got like this giant like
Not like dollhouse
It's like a tree fort
But it's on the ground, you know
It's like a dollhouse that a kid can go into
The fuck do you call that? Clubhouse?
I don't know what it is, right?
So she's in there and the dude
Like whose daughter was hooked it up
Had like a doorbell
It had a sign with the six-year-old girl's name on it
You know, a little phone jack thing in there
I mean this thing was awesome
So she was in there and she was like
Preparing breakfast or whatever
And oh my god, did I bomb
In front of this six-year-old
Every time I went left I should have went right
Right, it was hilarious
Like I sat down
I was standing like watching my daughter going in and out
Of the doors, right?
And then she announces, she goes
I made pine cones for breakfast
So I see this little seat that you sit outside
Almost like a serving window
So I sat down, I said, oh
I go, thank you very much for making me a pine cone
She goes, I didn't give it to you yet
And I went, oh shit, sorry
So then she hands it to me and I go, thank you
I go, how much is that?
And she goes, it's not for sale
She goes, they're not for sale
And I was like, oh, all right, sorry
It just struck me as like a little lemonade stand
I'm thinking, it's like, all right
And then she looks at me and she goes, it's $12.50
So then I pretend to count out $12.50
And she goes, no, that's not what it cost
She goes, that's what time it is
I was just like
Alrighty then, I'm gonna leave
Because evidently, I have the intellect of a three-year-old
Because you're destroying me
She got me three times in a row
Thank you for making me for the pine cone
She goes, I didn't give it to you yet
How much do I owe you?
It's not for sale
It's $12.50, here's your $12.50
That's not the price, it's the time
I was just like, wow
This takes me back to when I was in school
Whatever I said was just
I don't know
But anyways, I still had a great time
A daughter figuring out some stuff
How to go down the slide and all that stuff
And kids, they kind of go through the same way
In the beginning, they're like really outgoing
At least my daughter was
And then they get shy
And then we got her to be outgoing again
So it's kind of cool watching her do that
It's kind of cool because I was in the valley area
Kind of out by Van Nuys Airport
And just the way the wind was blowing
The planes were taken off to, I guess
I don't know if it was the north
But sort of, not towards LAX
They were headed the other way
And they were kind of going over the house
Which I thought was awesome
And then I looked in the alley
And there was a guy with this one floor house
And he had a windsock
On top of his roof
And I'm thinking like
Is that guy like a pilot?
Like who the fuck could see that from the air
But in a way it was kind of cool that he was doing it
Maybe he's a pilot
And he goes out and just
Because he takes off from there
And it's kind of a straight shot down to the airport
He just sort of looks at it
But then he could just listen to the fucking ATIS anyways
To know which way he's going to take off
I don't know
I just never seen a windsock
On top of anything other than a skyscraper
Or at least someone with like a helipad on it
Those of you who don't want to talk about it
Just basically shows which way the wind's blowing
And you always take off and land into the wind
For optimal performance
And the last thing you do is
You don't want to have it at your back
That's not a good thing
Anyways
But we were driving up there
And it's just like
I always knew people drove crazy
I don't like driving on the highway with my kid
I just don't
If anybody out here is listening in LA
You know, I know this isn't going to make a difference
Because there's so many of you guys out here
But like that fucking shit
Where you pass people on the right hand side
You really got to be
You're going to fucking kill somebody
You know
You pass somebody on the left
The further left you go
The faster you go
Alright
The furthest left that you can go
That's the people driving the fastest
You don't drive that fast in the first fucking lane
Somebody's trying to get off the highway
They're making their way over
Now all of a sudden
They got to be going like 80 miles an hour
To get off the fucking highway
What are you doing?
I just think it's because there's
There's so many lanes
It's like six lanes out here
On either side that I think all the
It just becomes
I don't know what it is
And there's so much traffic
I just feel like people are just like
Oh my god, an open fucking lane
I can go a quarter of a mile
And not have to hit the brakes
And they just fucking
Slam the gas down
Whatever the hell it is they're doing
But it's really unsettling
And then I'm sitting there with
I don't want to fucking snap
And I can't because my kid's in the car
Because I don't want to fucking be that guy
I don't know dude
But anyways, I'm doing some benefits
Out here this week
I believe Thursday night
I'm going to be up at the ice house
And then I'm also doing one
At the Fonda Theater
For who the hell is it for
The comedy store
So that's what I'm doing this week
I've got a couple of those things
I mean I've got to be doing
I'm trying to take some time off
Before I go to Europe
But I also have to be on my game
When I go to Europe
So it's sort of a slippery slope
But I've got a bunch of new shit
That I want to talk about
I can't wait to talk about it
Get on stage here
Tomorrow night I think I'm going to
Head out somewhere here in LA
And try to get on some stage time
Get some stage time I should say
And I still have not fixed my headphone jack here
But I am done flipping out about it
Because I'm trying to be a better man
Anyways, so when somebody gives
So when some woman gives a speech
In an award show
I can sit there nodding

Stamps.com
Talk about how the holidays
Are always the busiest time of year
It absolutely is
Everybody's got to go out shopping
Whether they like it or not
What do you have on your holiday list?
I still have this fucking headphone
Phone jack, whatever the fuck you call it
When I learn what it is
Then I feel like I can order it
As opposed to just ordering
A bunch of shit
That sort of looks like it
Is it a jack?
Is it an adapter?
I don't know what it is
What else do I have on my list?
I don't know
What the fuck?
I know I have something
We wish you a merry Christmas
Because it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside
What do I have for...
What is my wish for Christmas?
I wish that all of you guys
Have a very merry Christmas
And that they try to take
Any music away from you
They're going to start with that song
And I figured in about three months
They're going to go after
Aerosmith for Walk This Way
She can walk out whatever way
She wants to
Maybe a couple of books
I'm reading a book right now
Bob Cousy and Bill Russell
That I really enjoy
I'm telling them
We're going to get back to books
I keep threatening that
I'm going to go back to church
I'm going to start reading books
Then I'm going to go back to church
Then I'm going to start burning the books
That I'm reading
And then I'm going to go to a remote island
And get shot with bows and arrows
That's how I'm going to go out
That's all my Christmas list
Anyways, how many errands do you have to run?
I've got a couple more
How is Stamps.com helping you

You know, I really wonder
How the fuck these guys
I don't know
Everybody's screaming and yelling
About shit that's in people's Twitter feeds
And meanwhile, the bankers
Are about ready to fuck over
Another generation of retirees
And once again, they will not go to jail
You know what I mean?
And I gotta fucking sit here
And listen about gender neutral bathrooms
You know, do you know what all you guys
Have in your house or your apartment?
You know what you already have?
You have a gender neutral or fucking bathroom
As long as you gotta sit down toilet
I mean, that pretty much covers
The entire spectrum of way a human being
Can go to the bathroom
You know?
But I want a sign that has my silhouette on it
Meanwhile, they're building another luxury high-rise apartment
With fucking old people's money
We'll live long enough to fucking get out of it
I don't know what the fuck we're doing
What we need to do, man
Is we need to legalize weed at a federal level
And we need to export it
And we need to get the world high
So they like us again
And then we take all that money
We pay for this never-ending war
And then meanwhile, we get on to some sort of
Fucking electrical and solar power
Even though at the end of the day
It's probably not cleaner
But what it will do is put all these fucking people
Out of business
Because they won't have any oil money
To pay them a lot of tax
They want to blow us up
Why don't we do that?
And everybody will be having a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Boo-ba-da-bee-boo-doo-ba
I don't know if there'll be snow
I'm gonna sing you guys some carols
But have a cup of cheer
All right
I bet that we got some good emails this week
I have no idea who
Oh, I want to thank Rich Eisen, by the way
For having me on a show
I had a great time, man
He's such a good dude
Just a really good fucking person
And, you know, all the people that are over there
Are hilarious
I had such a fun time on that show, you know
They were saying how Peter was raining
Crazy that day
And I guess they got some sort of warning
Where they were saying, you know, Peter was saying
You know, you shouldn't say it's raining cats and dogs anymore
Because if they actually were falling out of the sky
From a rain cloud, they'd get hurt
And it's just like, yeah, well, we understand gravity
But that's never happened, okay?
So, of course, I went in there
How do you not, you know?
It's like, Jesus Christ, it's raining cats and dogs out there
It's a frog straying
You could drown a fucking moose out there
And I love animals, you know
I love animals as much as I hate pushy cunts
Yeah, pushy fucking cunt
All right, Wikipedia searching
Hey, you sweet billy boy
I wanted to give you a hand with your search engine
Always using Wikipedia
Oh, God bless you
If you use Firefox or Chrome
There's a setting in the options
Of course I don't
Or settings Chrome for choosing the default search engine
Is when you type in your location bar
Oh, wait a second, well, let me see
All right, well, I'm on Safari
Let's see
Preferences
All right, here we go
Page, 100% zoom
Never use font size smaller than nine
Internet plugins, show menu, change settings
Style sheet, nothing selected
Am I going to fuck this whole thing up?
All right, obviously this isn't
All right, tabs, general, passwords,
Privacies, notifications, advanced
New windows, new tabs
Home page
Is apple.com
Oh, I can change that, I know I could do that
Um, remove history
Oh, Jesus Christ
Search, oh, search, here we go
Search engine is Google, all right
Well, where the fuck's the sh-
God damn, ah, you motherfucker
It never works, why would it work for me?
All right, well, that was a big swing in a miss
Bookmarks, develop, window
I have no idea, everybody, if you're listening, it says
Safari, then it says file, edit, view, history,
Bookmark, develop, window, help
I'm not going into help, I've done that too many times
I fucking ask a question and it never answers the question
That I fucking asked, you know
I've just been hurt too many times
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?
It's just one of those things
All right, the first known decorated tree
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
You're fucking there, you're really a shrub
In a month you'll be a nub
Because you won't get water, then you go out in the trash
It's like a puppy mill for trees
Oh Christmas tree
Lyrics, let's see here
Well, let's take me to Wikipedia
Oh, okay, it's oh Christmas tree
Oh Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches
Jesus, someone with a powdered wig wrote this one
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Just spelled the letter O, not OH
How lovely are thy branches
Ben Franklin is a fucking drunk
Paul Revere beats his horse
Oh Christmas, these are original lyrics
No, you're both so green in summertime
Stave bravely green in wintertime
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Christmas tree
How lovely are the, I don't know what a bow is
I don't want a Tannenbaum
That's like a rich person's last name
Mr. Tannenbaum, I presume
All right, now I gotta, I gotta feel what a Tannenbaum is
Now they just start fucking singing about it
That's when you know you're into the holidays
When you know what all this fucking shit means
You know those Martha Stewart type chicks, you know
The fangirls that really like keep up
But they'll know how to make a Tannenbaum
Oh Tannenbaum is a German Christmas song
Based on a traditional, it's not what I want
Wikipedia, you fucking intrusive cunts
Oh Tannenbaum, I guess it's all one thing
Oh Tannenbaum
Oh wait, did they write oh Christmas tree?
I guess, oh that means, oh that means tree in German
Oh shit
When I go to Germany next month, I'm gonna have to sing that
To all those fucking crowd eating sons of bitches over there
Oh, oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum
It's a German Christmas song based on a traditional folk song
It became associated with the traditional Christmas tree
By the early 1920s and sung as a Christmas carol
The modern lyrics were written in 1824 by Leipzig
By the Leipzig organist teacher and composer Ernst
A Tannenbaum is a fur tree
The lyrics do not exactly actually refer to Christmas tree
Or describe a decorated Christmas tree
Instead they refer to the furs evergreen quality
As a symbol of constancy and faithfulness
Oh I see
This guy was alone in the woods
Started having fucking feelings about a tree
You know what I mean?
Yet we still complain in this country
Christ is people in Germany writing songs about trees
Well I guess we have tree huggers here
You know
Eventually whoever the pita is for trees
Who's that fucking green piece?
You know, they're not gonna like the expression tree hugger
Because the tree has no say in that physical contact
So in a way it's a form of assault
Alright, the first known decorated Christmas tree
Dear Billy, ghost of Christmas past
I really do look like that, don't I?
Did you know that on your tour of Europe
You'll be stopping in the city where the oldest
Recorded decorating of a Christmas tree went down?
I didn't know that
Riga or Riga Latvia
That almost sounds like two characters on fucking taxi
Riga and Latvia
Heard a friend talking about it
And immediately thought of you
What's your favorite way to decorate a tree?
Quickly
Without my wife in the room telling me I'm doing it wrong
What else?
I don't know
My favorite way to decorate a tree would be
With my lovely wife
With some eggnog
With some Christmas music on
A little booze in the eggnog
We do a little slow dance
I kiss her under a mistletoe
You know, one of the last years you can do that
Because that's a major crisis for white women
That, you know, there's mistletoe out there, I guess
You know, they really have a lot of problems
And that's like one of the ones right on the top of the list
You know, I mean, forget about climate change
And that swirl of trash in the Pacific Ocean
Can't even say it
I think what we need to get down to first off
Is what's the deal with mistletoe?
Anyways, I...
When you have camel toe during the holidays
Is that called mistletoe? Reverse mistletoe?
Upside down, inverted mistletoe
I don't know
When I was a kid, we made ornaments in school with macaroni
Yeah, then you'd spray painted gold
Macaroni, glitter and white glue and shit like that
I doubt that they do that anymore
Thanks and love to you and the family
And the MM Photoshop guy who lets me see you
In all your imaginary glory
Yeah, we used to...
That always used to be a thing
I made, you know, yeah, I used to make ornaments
I remember there was one, it's like it took a coffee cup
And then some, one of those pipe cleaner things, you know
You cut a hole in the bottom of the cup
And you, I don't know, somehow you ran a piece of macaroni
And it was supposed to look like a bell
And the top of the pipe cleaner coming through was the handle
Then they would make a cardboard cut out of a little paper
Cut out of a Christmas tree
Then you put a bunch of macaroni on it
For whatever reason, macaroni was a big deal
You'd glue it to the paper and then you'd spray painted gold
And then you'd give it to your mother and she'd look at it like
That is the ugliest fucking thing I've ever seen
But my kid made it and I love my kid
So that will now go on the fucking front door until you're 47
Yeah, I don't know, I'm not, you know
I like ornaments
I wish we had a lot more of them
But like, I don't like those Christmas tree shops
They creep me out
And like, really
People that go in there are weird in a way that I'm not weird
And however they're weird is it just fucks with my weird
And I get all weirded out, man
And I just fucking, I just leave
I can't, you know, I'm trying to get to the point where I'm not saying that
There are a bunch of fucking weirdos in there
Because I know I'm weird, right?
But I go in there and it's like
You know, plus I don't like clutter
And I don't like a bunch of shit around my house
You know what I mean?
It's like, those people that like
You know, you go buy somebody's house
And every year they have like
You know, those figurines and shit
That they put in the front yard
And every year you see the same ones and then they add a few more
Have you ever thought about like
Where the fuck do they put those things
The other 11 months of the year
Like, how much of their garage is that thing
Like, it's the middle of July, it's hot as shit
You go in there, you're trying to find the cooler
And then you walk in by like reindeer and snowmen and all that
That's just, that's just, that's too fucking weird for me
You know, I don't want to step over that shit
Right?
We just have like, we just have the Christmas tree lights
And then we just put the bulbs on it
And I put them on the tree and my wife stands back and she
Well this year she did it that way, you know
She always decorated in other years
This year we got the kids so she was just kind of
Holding her and telling me there's too many blue ones there
You need a little more red and then put some green over there
And you know, so there was that
I probably would have enjoyed that more if I was boozing
I'm not going to lie to you
But I didn't, I wasn't
I've been drinking my eggnog straight this year
With a little shot of nutmeg
And if I sound bored shitless, I am
It's this time of night, it's 9.10 at night
This is the time of night where usually, you know, I'm having a good time
And I just don't anymore
But I will tell you in the mornings, the best thing about being sober is the fucking morning
You know, you wake up, you feel like a fucking million bucks
And um, yeah, I don't know
Anyways, this is always a weird time of year
I love the holidays and it's also depressing that another fucking year went by
But then the second it's January 1st, I'm like, it's all ahead of me
I'm going to make those changes, I'm going to become a better person
Uh, if air, if air, why not by sea?
Uh, dear Billy, frisbee frown
I don't even know what that means
I don't want to know what that means
I don't know, I don't need to know that my frown is weird too
I already have enough physical fucking hangups
Frisbee frown
Um, Bill, I'm a little behind in the podcast
Since I watched my one year old girl full time
Oh yeah, but daughter!
He hit the lottery, they're the best
And I have to censor what I play in my house now
Yeah, I understand that
Um, he says a little while ago
You were explaining that you choose not to go into the ocean
Saying that it's an unnecessary risk
And basically that we don't belong in there
Compared to the other animals that do belong
I don't disagree with you
Okay, but I am just wondering by that logic
How you justify going after your pilot's license
License or whatever it takes to fly your whirly birds
And the like
I was hoping you would compare this while you were talking about it
But I don't think you ever did
Obviously as humans we take a lot of crazy risks every day
Like just getting in a car and going 70 miles per hour
Yeah, I know, and doing that in the left hand lane
And all it takes is one fucking asshole on the other side
You ever see that shit or where the fucking 18 wheeler jackknife
And comes over on the other side
You know, I got the kid in the car now so I try to stay in the right lane
But everybody's doing 90 miles an hour out here in it
I'll tell you, it's crazy
Anyways, but I would think the pilot thing would fall under the same category
As taking a swim on the beach
Thanks as always for the great podcast
My wife always knows if I have you on my headphones by the stupid grin on my face
Go fuck yourself
Great question, sir
Well, the reason why I got a pilot's license
Was because I read up on the banking system
And realized that it was a giant Ponzi scheme
And I was afraid because of how dysfunctional the city that I live in is
You know, you can barely get out of it when everybody when it's all working
Forget about if the shit ever hit the fan
How would I get out of here?
And the only way I could think was to learn how to fly a helicopter
Get up and get out
Now, I did the first part of the plan
Now the major part of the plan is to actually have access to a helicopter close by
You know, that's why I did it
But I will tell you, there is an element of danger to it
But now that I have my kid, I don't solo that much
Every once in a while, I do just to know that I can do it
But for the most part, I'll fly with an instructor
And I don't do anything crazy, I don't fly
And wins beyond a certain amount of knots
And I also will tell you though, it's way, way, way, way, way safer than getting in a car and going on the highway
And I have experienced both and I can tell you, like, you know, there's nobody up there
I mean, there is, but you know what I mean?
But there isn't
And it's like, we're talking to each other
We're in the same airspace
And we're announcing our position and where we're at
Okay, and if we don't see each other, then you take offensive moves
I guess a defensive move
You're proactive, like if the guys at the same altitude, you just tell them, well, okay, I'm going to ascend 200 feet or whatever the fuck you need to do
And then even if you don't see each other to the last second, you're literally like hundreds of feet above or below them and it's fine
There's no radio contact on the highway and you are basically flying in formation with people who are on meds
They're texting, they didn't get enough sleep, they suck at driving
They don't, maybe they're really good at driving, so they're driving like a fucking lunatic, like everybody else is as good as they are
Those people are probably even more dangerous than someone just sucks at driving and drives slow
And there's a lot of times that I've, you know, finished flying
Flying solo and landed and got in my car and within two miles of going down the street
I watched somebody just fucking t-bone somebody else
Somebody go flying off a fucking scooter and land on my side of the fucking road and slide on their face
Somebody just driving in the left lane and just for whatever reason just veers into the fucking, they were texting
Weren't paying attention, literally slammed into the median between, you know, both sides of the highway
Fortunately stayed on this side of the highway so they didn't, you know, go up and over and kill somebody
And literally just went spinning
360, 360, 360, like five 360s across six lanes of traffic before slamming like a stock car accident
Nobody near the guy just fucking did, I see that all of the time
So I understand what you're saying and I have to be honest with you, like, it is an unnecessary risk
But I find it, I, most of what I say about the ocean is because I have such a tremendous fear of it
And I just can't get over that all of this shit is, you know, I'm treading water with my head above it
You know what I mean? And everything else is like, I don't know, would you ever go into a pit of poisonous snakes
And then bury your head in the sand? Is there all just sort of fucking slither and pasture?
Yeah, and just things can go down, there's things down there that can literally swallow you whole or bite you in half
And they are, you know, what, a thousand times faster than you?
Yeah, I mean, say what you want about flying, like, I, you know, the altitude I fly at, like, I can still breathe
I don't need any assisted or pressurized cabin or anything like that, it's, you know, you pick your poison
But I'll tell you, like, there's a couple of things that I watch that just, you know, literally make my palms sweat
One of them is cave diving, and if you ever want to just, you know, hear the most unbelievable story ever
I forget that fighter's name, he's actually one of my favorite UFC fighters
What is his name? Cowboy something
The guy from, like, New Mexico, whatever, he's just like one of the baddest dudes ever
He cave dives and he was on the Joe Rogan experience
Just look up Joe Rogan experience cave diving and just listen to that fucking story
And you're literally listening to the guy that went through it, so you know somehow he lives
But still, you're, like, I was literally sitting there, you know, when you do that thing where you put your hands, like, over your nose and your mouth
Just sitting there and your index fingers are between your eyes, I was just sitting there, like, just covering my mouth
Just listening to this fucking story
The guy literally said that they have a rule down there that when someone gets in trouble in a cave dive, you just leave them because someone's going home
Someone's going to make it home because it's so fucked up down there that if you try to help that person, then both of you are going to die
That's kind of how it starts and then it goes from there
So anyways, yeah, cave diving and then those people who do that free climbing up skyscrapers
And every time you think they're up to, they make those fucking videos
And every time you think they went up, they're literally on the fucking radio tower
And they just keep going up and up and up and up and up and it's just like, I just sit there, like, I don't know how the fuck anybody can do some shit like that
So maybe that's why I said, most of what I say, I saw Jaws at a certain age and I just never got over it
I just never got over it, I'm like, I'm all fucking set on that
It's so crazy to me, like, you know, that would you ever go into whatever's left of the jungle in Africa with these just wild fucking hyenas and tigers and lions and fucking hyenas
And God knows fucking what out there, would you ever go out there without a goddamn weapon?
Okay, and then you go into the fucking ocean, no guns work down there
As far as I know, the best you can have is that stupid little fucking bow and arrow contraption
Alright, now you gotta look up underwater gun, is there an underwater gun you can possibly fucking have?
Sort of fucking list is this going to put me on
Underwater firearm, god damn it, I'll tell you something, human beings don't ever want to be where they can't fucking kill something
Are you fucking kidding me, look at this thing
Slow motion underwater guns, shark ammo, oh god
Jesus Christ, that's all you needed is some fucking people from Texas going there
I swear to God, man, one fucking shark looks at me, one motherfucker looks at me, I'm gonna fucking blow its goddamn fucking fish brain out
God made us in his image, and he asked us to go forth and multiply and blast a fucking hammer head right in his fucking head
I have to see this now, slow motion underwater guns, shark ammo
Alright, you can skip this ad in three, two, one, bam, here we go
Hey, I'm a fucking YouTube guy, I'm gonna fucking tell you about shark shit
Alright, this guy's, alright, he's trying out some of the badass guns he could ever fucking have, he's shooting watermelon, good for him, not shooting any people
Here's the breakdown
Alright, just get to the, alright, something happened, I fucking, my recorder got full
I was talking about shooting sharks in the fucking goddamn face, man, I'll fucking you on it
I'll give you another fucking breathing hole, you fucking whale face motherfucker
They actually figured out how to do it, they got like a fucking AK-47
But even then, do you think you're gonna be able to whip that thing out fast enough?
Ah, Jesus Christ, you know what I mean, what are we doing?
The fuck are we doing? We're underwater shooting fucking guns at sharks
I don't know
I mean, see sir, you know, I gotta tell you something, it's fucking nuts as flying as, when you go flying, you don't have to go up there with a fucking gun
Because something's gonna eat you out of the goddamn sky
There's no fucking bird of prey that's gonna grab onto your, whatever the fuck you're flying
Anyways, but thank you for listening to the podcast, but you know, you are right though, I am a bit of a hypocrite
But like I said, most of it is just me being afraid of the ocean
Gift list pressure, Bill, my wife gets mad that I don't tell her what I want for Christmas or birthdays
Yeah, well it's a pain in the ass, because then she has to guess
Anyways, obviously now the issue is Christmas
I told her I have everything I need and like you, I'm trying to thin out all my junk
It actually stresses me out because I'm being led to feel bad for not wanting to, to gifted something, to be gifted something
Just ask her for an experience, just ask her you want to go to a car show or something like that, something we can do together
Just do that so she has something, alright
We both make a lot of money and buy whatever we want, she doesn't need anything either, but gave me a cute idea of something small
I guess she's not a total bitch, and just Jesus, she's not even remotely a bitch
Because it's completely, I would throw this out of fucking bitch court if you even ever, why did you waste my time with this?
I guess she's not a total bitch, and just wants to make me happy
But in a roundabout way it ruins the fun of it sometimes
How do you deal with this?
Yeah, I usually just ask for an experience, there's usually some place I want to go to, like I'm a big fan of hamburger stand, like greasy spoon type places
I don't like, I'm not a big fan of fancy fucking restaurants, I mean I like going there or whatever
But like, I love going to like, you know, there's a couple places, a place on Bill's Burgers I wanted to go to, ironically enough
Although I heard the guy doesn't work there anymore, but the burgers are still tasty
I love a great taco truck, food trucks
I like doing shit like that, I like going to car shows, you know I went to a Christmas party at this custom motorcycle shop
The one that Keanu Reeves bought into, and it went down and just like, I mean, and that to me as an adult that was like Christmas
I went down there and they were talking about how they make the parts by hand and how like a 1200 pound slab of like aluminum will come in
And from that, like ice sculptors, except they use it with aluminum, they make parts for these absolutely gorgeous motorcycles
Arch, ARCH motorcycles
And I don't know, like I think because I became like a closet gear head out here
Where I don't know how to do any of that shit, but I could literally watch somebody work on a car, describe how they, Eric the car guy, I'm a huge fan of his
I, you know, I love that shit
So whatever the hell you're into, she loves you, she wants to give you something, Jesus Christ
It's like she's going to buy you a desk
Anyways, you got a bottle of booze you like? I don't know
Boxing, hey Billy Bank shot the third
I've recently been getting fitter thanks to training sessions at a boxing gym, good for you
And wanted to test myself and try some low level legal, of course, amateur boxing
Dude, there's no fucking reason to get your bell rung for no fucking money when you're not going to try to pursue it as a profession, man, be careful
Now she goes, my girlfriend won't allow it, good for her
She likens me trying it out to her, trying out stripping in front of a crowd and how against the idea
And how against that idea I'd be, can't say she's wrong
Do you reckon I should try a couple of fights just to see if I like it and not tell her?
Or do I respect her wishes and leave it as a question that doesn't need to be answered
Sir, I would never tell you not to pursue your dreams, but I wouldn't do it sneaking around
I would at the very least tell her that you're going to do one fight
But what if you go and you get your fucking nose broken, then you got to show up and try to be like Luca
My name is Luca, I live on a second floor, I walked into a fucking door, you don't have to do that
I don't know, communication is always the way to go with the woman
The moment is what I've learned and I've learned and I keep learning and you communicate with them
And through the communication they'll end up telling you how it's going to go down
Because it always goes down the way they want it to go down
And that's basically it
And that's basically it, dude
What they say goes if you want to stay with them
And it's brutally not fucking fair, but you're a guy and nobody gives a shit
So what I would do if you're going to go ahead and do it in any ways
I would just tell her that you're going to do it
It's something that you need to do, something you need to prove to yourself, whatever the fuck it is
Other than that, keep moving your head there buddy
Overrated, living in major cities, is there anything worse than a bunch of losers thinking that if they live where it's cool to live
They're cool too
Dude, you're preaching to the choir here, that's what I've done my entire adult life
And I am not cool
They completely deny the fact that living on top of one another is frustrating and unnatural
New York smells like shit, LA is overcrowded
New York doesn't smell like shit, areas of it does
Manhattan is like a giant bed bath and beyond now
LA is definitely overcrowded
Absolutely, but I gotta be honest with you though
So where are you suggesting to live?
Because if you get too rural, then that just gets too fucking boring
Your food options, a lot of options, you know, you want to go see a band and they're not going to come anywhere near you
Now you got to jump in a car for four fucking hours
I definitely envy people who live in wide open spaces and shit like that
I think it's really cool
And I got a lot of respect for people that live out there like that
But just living where I've lived
I don't know how long I could do it, I'd go a little fucking stir crazy
Although there's a lot of people here in LA that, you know, have that second home and fucking Wyoming or whatever
But my wife wouldn't ever go for that
And she makes the decisions
Underrated
Living in mid-sized cities, oh here's his answer
There's nothing better than a city that's not really a city
You know, I'd go with that and I have my favorite ones
And these are all cities, I wouldn't say they're not cities, but like, I'm a big fan of Milwaukee
Chattanooga
What else comes to mind?
Those are two of my favorites
Is that it?
I think so, I mean, I enjoyed when I was up in Idaho and in Montana
It just seems like nobody really fucks with you up there, but then they have like a massive meth problem
So there's always something, there's always something, you know what I mean?
I just wish with all the fucking global warming like that, I just wish that those people could still enjoy the climates that they moved there for
Because, you know, just growing up on the East Coast and everything, I think it's, you know, I missed the four seasons and shit
And I also think it's really cool to kind of live out in places like that
You know, having said that, you know, the experiences that I've gotten living in LA, this is one of my favorite cities
In New York as much as I make fun of both of these cities
What else, you know, I, you know, living in a sports town, I'll tell you what's underrated too, after you move away is going back and living in your fucking home state again
You know, when you don't have to get by all the fucking sports packages just to watch a regular season game of your team
That's pretty fucking overrated too
Alright, that's the podcast for this week
Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah's going on right now, happy Hanukkah to everybody
And go fuck yourselves and I'll check in on you on Thursday
