Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Byrne. It's time for the Monday morning podcast from Monday
May 10th 2021. What's going on? How are you? How are you everybody? I hope you're doing good. I'm doing fucking great
I'm feeling great man. I'm fucking I'm flying on this simulator every day
Doing ILS approaches
Having a great I can't believe I fucking know how to do it. You know, I'm getting better at it. I'm holding my altitude
I'm tracking and intercepting courses
Um
I'm having a great fucking time
I'm actually kind of also get it learning how to fly a plane because they don't you have the helicopter one
so I just been doing the plane one
And uh, I'm starting to get it. It's kind of me like, you know, these things are pretty fucking cool and they also haul ash
Compared to a helicopter
Even the little ones they fucking, you know, they're fucking hauling ass
Um, seems like a lot of fun, but I sat in a plane, uh, a little Cessna the other day and god damn it. You can't see shit
Can't see a fucking thing. I mean compared to a helicopter. It's just
you know
Helicopter it's like you're on a ferris wheel one of those little buckets just
Class bucket you can see everything just something I enjoy that fucking
I used to think they couldn't see because of the the the hood
You know, but I got in I was like, no, there's all these fucking gauges and all of this trying to see overall
Is I don't I don't know how they do it. I don't have to I'm gonna stick with helicopters
But I've been having a great time with that getting ready for my exam whenever the hell I take that
whenever my
Instructor signs me off, but I've been looking at my flashcards for an hour in the morning
Before everybody gets up and then you know yesterday was uh mother's day
Shout out to all the ladies out there
You know who are moms, you know only them. Okay, and I only want to hear from moms
I don't need fucking women who don't have kids telling me all of this
You have these fucking broads out there who aren't even moms and they start wagging their finger. It's like I know what she did
I was there
Fucking you're talking about you haven't done anything
What have you done with your vagina, huh?
Said we have it peeking out under that skirts could maybe get a goddamn drink for free. Is that what you're doing
You're gonna come over here and talk to me an old bald orange man. I don't think so
sorry, um
Oh, I'll invent an argument I will I'll do it in a second so
anyway, um
My I think my wife had a great mother's day, you know, I was watching the kids all day
I went out. I got her uh, I went down
I tried to get her uh what she asked for for breakfast and we showed up because it was mother's day
There was a fucking line like two hours long
Two hours, I asked the guy at the front. How long you wait here the guys that took me two hours
That's like Jesus Christ. So I text my wife. I'm like, there's a two hour wait. She goes. Yeah, fuck that
You know because my wife's cool. So I went somewhere else just got our breakfast burrito
um
Put my son down for a nap
Played with my daughter did all of that stuff and uh, then my son woke up
And I was just back and forth just running around
having an awesome time
And my wife just wanted you know, she wanted to sleep
She wanted to chill out. She wanted to watch the office
And I did all that for the better part of the day right up until like five that she gave my son a bath
Put him to bed because she's awesome
um, so
We'll see we'll see what happens for father's day
You know because now I'm thinking like oh shit. Do I get to like fucking
Sleep and uh do all of that shit? Uh, you know because that'd be pretty fucking cool
um
Already know what I want to do
There's a town out here. There's a town. I know where the hipsters go called bedrock
twist twist, um
There's a town out here in la and they have this fucking little area that I call the triangle of death
That I want to go to on father's day
There's a barbecue joint and right across the street. There's an old school ice cream parlor
And then when you come back across the street, there's a fucking cigar bar
And I want to go bang bang boom
Little barbecue
fucking root beer float
And then smoke a little fucking shorty, right?
Or maybe a fucking fat stick whatever i'm feeling and then just my first one
since february
Which i'm kind of afraid to do because I don't know if I want to start that but up again
Um, that's what I want to do. I want to go bang bang boom
You know
I just want a fucking all I need is about three hours to make that happen
You know
To basically
Live a life like you know, I actually have envy sometimes
When I look at like people when they they just you know, like how jackie gleason lived his life
I was talking to somebody about that
where you just like
You know the doctor's like, hey, you know, you better ease off on the red meat. You know like nah
I like steaks
I'm here. I'm eating steaks and then one day when the steaks catch up with me and I fucking croak. That's it
There is something to be said about that. I respect that as much as I respect
you know
calorie count and staying in shape
And eating fucking at a mommy
You know when you're 90
Hey, that's what I always did. I don't lived all of them
You know
Yes, you did
So you got to respect both those ways of living but uh, there is something every once in a while
I'm not gonna lie to you. I'll watch my 600 pound life for something like that and I go, you know
The last 300 pounds was sad, but those first 300 was a good fucking time
You were having a fucking
Grand old time
I'll tell you I ate like my 600 pound life this fucking weekend
Took my wife out to dinner out by the way. I gotta I gotta promote something really quickly here. I keep forgetting to do this
People do you know paul versey?
I'm telling you right now. He is one of the best fucking comedians out there right now that guy
Fucking murders
Murders and he's I've been uh, I've been friends with him for about oh jesus christ since 2005 16 years
all right
Love the kid to death and we've been doing a podcast called anything better that's available on youtube apple podcast
Spotify and wherever else podcasts are available. Please listen and subscribe to it
Um those you unfamiliar with paul versey you can go back. He was a guest on my podcast
I think the first time my good lord
I don't know how many years ago
We were doing this run through canada
I asked him what he'd do with the time machine and he said he'd go back to the revolutionary war and he'd bring an
Uzi with him and single-handedly
Defeat the british and then turn to george washington and say you're welcome
All right, that's the kind of person i'm dealing with
uh, no he actually he's he's uh
He's actually a very smart guy who understands
How to live life
You know, he was talking on the podcast the other day about how he loves eating lunch by himself
And just chilling out and watching the breeze like moving the trees
You know, and I just was thinking like god, I wish I could do that
I wish I could shut my brain off
And do that you know what I mean
It's everybody's running around
Trying to go from one fucking social media platform to the next one
Like a bunch of club kids back in the day in the meatpacking district
You know, they just would they just go from club to club to club and it's all the same people
But just with a different background and oh, this is the place this is this is the cool place
This is where i'm gonna find happiness
You know, or you could just sit there eating a sandwich
Enjoying nature and that's pretty uh
It's pretty fucking deep, you know
So, um, that's how we got the name of the podcast. He would say shit. Like is there anything better than chips with the sandwich?
You know
We still fucking laugh like you do you anything? Yeah, there's a lot things been and now I get it
Paul Versey is here to remind us how to be happy
And he's doing a podcast with one of the most miserable cunts ever myself. Oh, don't say that about yourself bill
um, so anyway, I went out to um
We went out to dinner in uh, this italian restaurant called felix trattoria. I hope I said that right
Um, and a long time ago. It seems like everything seems like a long time ago anything before
There's a chef out there. Ethan funk
And uh, there was this really cool documentary on him called funk f u n k e
Um, he's a master chef and it was about him. He was going he went to italy
And he was hanging out with all these
Old women over there that have been making pasta by hand their whole life
And they actually have shapes
That are dying off like almost like a language
And he went over there to learn from them
Because I guess a lot of the younger italians because you just go buy pasta and
You know, I mean, I'm not I'm not shitting on younger italian people. Let me we used to churn butter out here
We don't do it anymore, right? There's a lot of stuff we used to do
That we don't do anymore. We used to pump. Oh, no, somebody used to pump your gas for you. What am I talking about? Um, anyway
um
So this whole documentary is about
the art of making pasta
by hand hand rolled pasta and then the different shapes and actually why they are the shapes that they are
and um
My wife and I watched that documentary absolutely mesmerized
And I think it was right before the pandemic and we was like, oh my god, we have to fucking go to that restaurant
I have to taste what that pasta tastes like
I mean if you're into food
I'm telling you you got to watch that documentary. So
um
Anyway
We went there
I took her out there on saturday night and had one of the great meals of my of my life
First of all this bread, I don't want to ruin the experience if you're gonna go there and stuff
So I don't want to say too much details, but this bread that came out
Was like from another fucking world
And we got these flourette things. I don't know what the heck some I'm not the best remembering the names as thanks
But it was just the appetizers were incredible. The pizza was fucking
Unbelievable one of the best pizzas I've ever had and we just got the mark. Do we get a margarita? We get I think we had some some sort of
pepperoni on it or something
um
And then we both got pasta dishes
And the pasta dish that I got was a sausage dish
And the pasta that came with it almost looked like those little
You know when Reese's peanut butter cups are like the minis it almost looked like that
But they didn't have the ridges around the side
And I remember the documentary like every pasta has a shape for a reason
And as I was mixing this thing up
That thing was scooping up all the flavors and a little bit of of the sausage and then as you as you
Getting like I'm hungry right now as you put the fork in and everything you'd get all the other stuff that he had
It these fucking tomatoes. I don't even know where you got these little tomatoes that were in there
that it was just
heaven and
I ate like a pig. I just I fucking ordered everything. I ordered a pork shoulder
Once I saw pasta it said a second dairy or whatever. I'm like, well, I got to go full Italian and order the whole thing
This pork shoulder was just out of this world and then like by the time
By the time dessert came I was so stuffed
Like I was just like we can't we're gonna have to do it next time
and um
They're like you got it you got it and then I don't know what happened all of a sudden the kitchen just set out
Come on. You got a like classic Italian. Right. Fuck you. You're still eating. Okay. I don't care how full you are
They had this dessert
It was like a pudding a butterscotch pudding with this cream on top
And a little bit of salt in it and I have not had butterscotch pudding since when I was a kid
And my mother used to buy those swiss mists
They had the chocolate and they had the butterscotch and first I was all about the chocolate. I was like, wait a minute
Wait a minute. This butterscotch is the shit
And this was the gourmet version
of that
And uh, I will tell you this I would come back to that restaurant just for that
So it's called felix trattoria
f-e-l-i-x-t-r-a-t-o-r-r-i-a. I'm sure I'm pronouncing it wrong
But um, oh my god
Was that an amazing meal and my wife ordered another pasta that was
It was a uh, I think it was just lemon and pepper and it was just
I just kept saying I I can't eat anymore and then another plate would come out and I was just like I have to try that
and then I would eat it and then I would just
finish it off and um
I'm recording on sundae that was last night
I was so full I didn't eat till noon today
And I wasn't feeling like I was fasting or anything. I was just so
Full and satisfied
When I left there that I didn't even give a fuck
That we got stuck in this brutal traffic. There was some sort of accident, you know people always looking at their phones. Hopefully everybody was all right
um
And I I basically I spent the whole weekend with my wife
And uh, I only snapped
One time and was I only thought it was a little bit, but she said no no that's still
registered
on the Richter scale
um
Like I actually gave two drivers shit, but I was funny about it
We pulled in and we were trying to go to some store. We had to get something from my mother-in-law for mother's day
And as we pulled in this person, you know, I was waiting clearly waiting for the spot and somebody went around came around the other way
And took my spot just a total fucking little dirtbag move
And as she was sitting there, you know waiting to pull in I went by her and both our windows were down
And as I went by I just went but I wanted it
Right
And the second I made the b sound of butt she jumped and I felt bad
But I committed to it. I was like, oh man, I actually stood she goes you can have it
It's like no good
So we pull up and now you know
It's one of those parking garages that for whatever reason it has those numbers like there's 117 spots this way
And you get there and you're still fighting for a fucking spot. I don't know where all those spots are
But you're still fighting for a spot. So i'm pulling in
And I see a spot opening up and there's this fucking jerk off trying to get into a parking spot
And he's waiting and he can't do it. He can't do it
Then he sees another one opening up and then he decides to wait for that one while blocking the one
Right
And then and I had my window down and it was perfect because it echoed the second I could tell he was making that decision
I just had the window down. I just went like
Oh my god
And
I saw his head turned back and look at me and he took his foot off to break any fucking inch forward so I could get
So I could get into the spot
So now i'm thinking like oh fuck now this guy's gonna get out of the car. What the fuck's gonna happen
But he actually stayed in the car. He think he thought I think he thought I was a fucking lunatic which I am
But i'm not like a violent person or whatever but
Um, it worked. I didn't current and my wife laughed both times when I did it. She
Like laughed almost like embarrassed. So, um
And I just had a really great weekend with my wife. She didn't see me snap. I really had my temper
Uh, it is just like downgraded. I think it's downgraded finally after all these years of being hurricane bill
I am now tropical storm
You know
And I want to get all the way down to like, you know, you could fly a kite in my anger
Like you're on the beach just enjoying yourself
Oh, he just gets fussy sometimes
Um
And then I'll really let out all the frustration. Don't worry guys. I'll keep the anger in my act
But in my daily life
I I can't have it like I actually found humor
It's something the other day where uh, you know, we got a little splash about pool in our backyard
You know do a cannonball in it. You'd break your tailbone not bragging
But we we do have a pool. All right, and um
So like, you know, it's it's still like costs like a fucking zillion dollars
To heat the fucking thing, right?
So, uh, I never heat it and I always just go in
Fuck it, you know, but like
You know, I got kids and shit. I don't want to I don't want to stick my kids in an ice cold fucking pool, right?
So I got this solar tap for the pool which works
Un fucking believable
Last summer it was like it was working so well. I was getting like sick to my stomach like this is too hot
This is like jacuzzi hot. I'm trying to swim in this fucking thing, right?
but um
I noticed, you know, I had it on this year and it's not working
And I'm like, what the fuck and I went on
I went on the internet. I'm like, do I have it like?
Wrong side down and it's like no bubble side down. This is what you want to do
So I was doing it and it's just not working and then I I read somewhere as I was washing it off trying to clean the thing
It says keep it out of direct sunlight
when you're not using it
Because it will damage it
and I'm just like
It's a fucking solar panel. It's a solar pool cover like it lives in the sun
You know what I mean? Evidently you can't have it out the whole fucking time
Or else it damages it
So now the thing is just this useless giant piece of fucking plastic and I'm like, what do I do with this?
How do I dispose of this because I know this fucking thing if I throw it out
It's going to end up in the ocean and it's going to be the size of a little pool floating around
I don't I just don't want that to happen. I you know, I'm actually really excited that there's all of this stuff out there about
There really there's a pushback on plastic and everything like those guys liquid death the bottom water that I drink now
It's canned a big looks like a giant tall boy like you're drinking booze
like a beer or something
I'm liking that these younger companies are really taking a look at that and I really think that
The next geniuses
You know, then the the the next albert einsteins and whatever from this generation coming up
They're going to solve this shit or they're at least going to be working on it
And I think we're going to turn it around just in a nick of time. I have to think that because I got kids
so frigging young so um
And I think that there's going to be a pushback from old people who are used to making money
The old way and I think eventually I think I'm hoping eventually that it's going to
It's going to stop because what in the fuck do you do with an old
Solar pool cover? What the fuck do I do with this thing? I feel like I just got to stick it in a trash bag and just keep it on my property
Is like permanent trash because I'm not going to throw that fucking thing out
um
Because I wouldn't want that thing just floating around out there
It's one thing if they stick it in the ground. That's bad enough
I like to think the worms can get around it, but every time it ends up in the fucking oceans. Well, it's way worse. I think anyway
So, uh, I have so much shit to talk about. I don't even know what to get where to go here. Um
One thing I do have to do is give a shout out to uh
rest in peace tawny cattain
um
Just an absolute icon from my generation
Uh the videos and all of that and I actually had the opportunity I met her one time
I didn't even know it was her
And I'll tell you this is this is
How amazing she was in the two seconds I met her I did the improv
down in um
Irvine
And I guess she lived down in orange county and she came out to the show
Um
I didn't know she was at the show and in the end I was selling my dvds
This is how long ago that was
And as I was standing there like one of the first people to come out
Was this woman was with you know two two women came out right a little bit older than I am
and uh
She came up and shook my hand
Just as she was passed by she said hey great show really funny and kept and just kept walked out
You know just kept going right and like she shook my hand. It was like fucking electricity
I was just I was you know
It's like what the what the fuck was that and she was just gone
I've never seen a club when I go
I go who the hell was that
So like the mayor down here that's like she's got like
Whatever that was has the fucking it factor like I've never seen and he goes. Oh, that's tawny coutain
And I remember tawny coutain. He goes all those white snake videos and all that I go. Oh my god. That was her
He goes. Yeah, I go. Holy shit
I mean that was like, uh, I don't even know where to put that as far as like icons
Uh, uh meeting somebody of of like
That was like I have a few things like that one time I was on jeff garland
had a uh an improv
Show called the combo platter
So or something like what's no that was the game he played in the end combo pattern platter
There was four chairs one person would stand up start a story
And then somebody could stand up and interrupt and then you just fed off of each other was a big improv game
It was fun as hell. We did it at ucp
and jeff was uh friends with the late great robin williams and he came down that night and he played the game with us
and I remember he was sitting next to me
And the usual spacing of two chairs next to me and as I was sitting there
You know, his arm hair was touching my arm
And I remember he had made so many fucking jokes
over the years
On uh live aid about how harry was it was like he was wearing like a fucking turtleneck sweater or something
and
Like one of that arm hair touched my arm. I was like, oh my god. I grew up
Not only watching this guy listening to listen to him doing bits about this. I was like goddamn. He is a harry son of a gun
Same thing and what is that happened? I remember just thinking like what the like
How the hell did I get here with my paths crossed with this person? But like it's the same he had the same
sort of like
That just that star power type of thing and uh
Anyway, but passing tony cattain passing that is a huge one for my generation
As you could see as she was trending so rest in peace
um
Really sad said way too young 59 years old. Jesus christ. I'll be 59. I'm gonna be 53 in june
So that's a scary one not only sad but scary to somebody who's fucking almost 53
um
All right, what else can I talk about here? Um, I saw uh
You know, I've been on this mickey work going back watching all the movies that made me love that guy
I watched uh pope of gringis village
Then I watched angel hot
and then uh
Over the weekend. I watched year of the dragon
Um directed by michael, uh
I hope I say his name right
Chimino, I think that's how you say it the way it's spelt and the way you say
Chimino, I think it's how you say it. He actually passed away recently in the last couple years. He was the director of um
the deer hunter
with deniro and uh
Christopher walken and all that stuff. So I was like I didn't and I didn't know that he directed this thing but he directed
um
Interesting backstory on him. I was looking this up. He directed the deer hunter and he won
Best director and best picture and then his follow-up heavens gate
um
Was this huge box office bomb
and according to what I read
It stopped the whole director driven
movie thing
Movies for a minute where like for before
the revolution came
studios not only
Picked the movies to be made or whatever. I mean, I guess they still do they got a green light of but they had final
Final cut they edited the studio edited the movie not the director
And then all those badass directors, which I should know more of their names, but I don't the 60s came along
And that's when you got all those amazing amazing movies
um
Stanley Kubrick probably being my favorite of all of them
um
I guess this movie tanks so bad
That they used it as an excuse to kind of shut that down, which I don't really think so because
There was still those big-time directors when I was
You know growing up in the 80s
um
You know and he had
Tarantino came around in the early 90s. So they they were like around but whatever. I don't know
I don't know enough about it
But anyway, and then I heard what years later now people go back and they watch heavens gate and they go
It's actually a good movie
Just sometimes when a movie has a big budget and this buzz starts going that's not going to be good
I think you fucked before it even comes out back. Then you were
There's a lot of movies like that. Were you watching like what are they talking? This movie is actually a good movie
I'm not saying it could have made all of its money back, but it's it's not as bad as they're saying it is
um, so anyway, um, this guy michael uh, chimino
also made this movie year of the dragon with mickey rourke and uh
As far as violence goes I give it a 10 great gun sound
Uh great gun fights in it and shit. It's got the classic 80s where a car
You know
Goes into what they there's one thing this guy gets shot through the back window
They cut to his face. It blows his brains out
It's driving a late 70s fucking chimero. It goes into a brick wall and just fucking explodes
Like did it was this thing modified where he put like
Is the engine in the back and they put the gas station a gas station
Gas tank in the front. It's it's so ridiculous how much it blows up, but um
Aside from making rourke the two performances that were amazing was uh john lone
who played the uh
the uh
So I guess you would say the uh the anti hero. I don't know how to how do I say all this shit?
He was the head of the the triad or whatever
He was like a mafioso dude in chinatown and uh, he was fucking amazing in it
And his character was badass like the young guy who doesn't want to do it the way the older guys are doing it
And he wants to move faster than they're moving
um, and then but the performance of the movie
Was this woman, uh caroline kava. I'm hoping i'm saying that right
She is fucking
Amazing I thought she stole the movie absolutely stole the movie her performance in that thing
Uh, basically when her her marriage is on the rocks with mickey rourke
that scene
At all of her scenes, but that scene. I mean I I I can't believe uh
She didn't get some sort of supporting role nomination for that so shout out to her
Um, I looked her up. She's still doing it. She's teaching people how to act if you get an opportunity to get taught by her
Man, my god if she was that good that long ago. I can't imagine all the knowledge. She's had since then so
Um, really enjoyed that movie and then I watched a date line with my wife who really has to come on here and start talking about these things
She's going to she's making me go to bed watching these movies about these fucking horrible people most of them are guys
and um
I went to bed last night and I had I had a dream that a friend of mine got murdered so I had to call the person today
To make sure they were all right, but I didn't tell them that that's why I called
Because I didn't want them to think a piano was going to fall in their fucking head. So anyways, I was watching this one
Where?
Once again, it's it's a married couple. They look happy as hell. They got the sweaters on the family photos
They got three beautiful kids
Everything's going great
And then I don't know what happened all of a sudden the marriage starts going south
And it kind of sounded like he was a bit of a bum right like he didn't want to work
Like he had a part-time job
And his wife had three jobs
Okay, he was a mr. Mom. He worked part-time
He talked her into buying some huge
You know them but really her buying in a hugely expensive house
And I'm sitting there watching this scenario going gee that's that scenario sounds really familiar
It's just flipped this time. It's usually the woman's working part-time in these I'm not saying all women everybody fucking relax
In this scenario like women do that all the fucking time, you know, you know, they work their little 15 hours a week
We need a bigger house. I need more space
And then they get you to buy the fucking thing you're working three fucking jobs
Blah blah blah and then they drop the fucking divorce papers on you, right?
And then, you know, they're working they're not making nearly as much money as you are so you're gonna pay child support
Well this fucking dirty bastard
He tried to make the court system work for him
This motherfucker he worked part-time his wife's slave in a way three fucking jobs. She buys an expensive fucking house
Okay
And then he slaps her with divorce papers while she's at work teaching in front of the kids for maximum pain really sadistic, right?
and uh
Then he goes to court and he tries to pull the chick move like
15 hours a week and i'm used to a certain lifestyle and I want the kids and I want her to pay for this big expensive house
You know what the judge said
He said hey, fuck you buddy get a job you bum
Not only do you have to go out and get a job. She's staying in the house
She's getting the kids and you're gonna fucking pay for it
So he was living
All right, and I gotta tell you something as much as the piece of shit as this guy was
I gotta be honest with you. He had a case
He had a case
Because the law stated that they would go back three years and they would look at the income of both people
And determine
We know whoever was making more had to pay the other one child support, right?
Or uh, not child support. Uh, what do they call it? Uh, alimony went child support, right? So
this guy
Said always that how the games played and he set himself up and this judge
Circum navigated as far as I can tell without a law degree and even knowing what fucking state they were in
Circum navigated the fucking laws and said no because you're a man. This ain't gonna work that way ain't going out that way
okay
And
This guy got so fucking mad
I mean, he was obviously already a
Psycho he snapped
And he fucking killed his wife and a brutal
Brute he stabbed her like over 50 fucking times. I mean just one of the most
horrific fucking things ever, right?
Um, but he said he was sleeping on his mother's couch
All right, and she made a statement that she heard the sound of the door opening and closing at around three in the morning
But then when they were gonna finger him for the murder
Uh, because I couldn't find a weapon or anything. He he
She recanted that statement. I was like, you know, I don't I don't remember. I can't fucking think right now, right?
So she covered for him
And this motherfucker
Didn't go to jail for like 14 years, right?
But his hell was not over
Okay, because he painted himself out. She nags and blah blah blah. I love that shit. She nags. Well, then fucking divorce her
Fucking idiot, right? So
All of her friends
Were like these bible belt people and they were like sending him scripture
Saying that he was gonna go to hell and the truth is the way to repent just doing this shit. So he had to move away
And he essentially got away with it
But then the guy
The fuckhead that he is goes out hunting with his brother and he has a couple of they said he had a couple of beers
Right. I don't know if these were bud towels or what he had two beers
And then he confesses the whole thing to his brother
They're sitting on a bridge. He's like, uh, you know, remember your sister-in-law
And the guy's like, uh, yeah, and he's like, yeah
He goes he opened the bag and showed the murder weapon
He goes, this is how I finalized the divorce
And then takes the fucking knife and throws it in a creek not even in a river
I don't know how deep a fucking creek is, but it's definitely not a really throws it in the fucking river
He tells his brother throws it in the fucking river
So then his brother goes home and he goes
Maaah
Hey maaah, y'all
She's like, I'm upstairs
And he comes up he goes, hey maaah, you remember, uh
You know so-and-so's first wife
She was like, yeah
He's like, yeah, well
You know fucking Mikey said he killed her
And she goes, oh Jesus Christ, could you do me a favor
Could you not tell anybody until I'm dead? I swear to God, this is a true story
I'm just sitting there watching this shit going. This is what my wife watches
Before you go to bed and I am just sitting there
Thinking of oh by the way
The wife
That the guy murdered was laying in bed weak because she donated a kidney to somebody she worked with
And he waited until she was fucking weak
and and and
And he just came and she knew that he was gonna fucking do it and he I just can't imagine
I'm sitting there thinking about the horror that she went through
I'm thinking about that mother finding out that her son when she kind of knew it
Anyway, finally realizing that she raised a fucking murderer
And that she on her deathbed has to sit there
You know, she's got that love for her son that she can't fucking turn them in
But no one she should have and then it's like now do I go to like half hell because I didn't do
And I'm sitting there going through the emotion of all this right before I go to bed
I don't know why my wife and I'm literally looking at my wife
It's like
Is she trying to fucking figure out how to do the perfect murder?
I mean, I know I'm difficult to work with but this is making me fucking nervous, right?
So anyway
These cops
Fucking amazing they go and and the scuba divers they drag this river three fucking times
They're about ready to give up and all of a sudden it snags on something and they pulled up that knife
I mean, what are the I mean this is years later
They found this fucking thing
um
And then they went down and they fucking arrested the guy and the cop took a picture
And sent it to like the woman's best friend the deceased woman's best friend said look who I got in the back of my cruiser
So, I mean, it's like all right. So it has like a happy ending, but I still went and then they've like, you know
They got one of the kids on there who has to find out that her dad murdered her mom. It was just fucking
brutal
And I'm watching this whole fucking thing right before I go to bed
And then the comedian me is also like the brain's going like, you know, what's fucked up about that is like
If they did that if they did in court
To a woman what they did to that guy
She in some way would have been able to use that as part of like, you know
I wouldn't have snapped if he treated me equally and would have somehow figured out only getting 15 years
So, what is the thing I have learned that a lot of my anger comes from the fact
That I don't feel like anybody's going to listen to me because I came from the sit down and shut the fuck up
Generation here's a key let yourself in and out
you know, so, um
I
I have since learned that all like most of the times if I just say hey, you know what I think I'm going to tell
Although I don't know I kind of like it
I can't even say that I've actually gotten into the real housewives
I finally just sat and watched it with her and I kind of got into the soap opera of it
So now I actually watched the shit, but I think I'm going to tell her uh
It just be like listen
Not for nothing. I had a dream last night that one of my good friends got murdered
And I woke up feeling like I had to call them because all of a sudden I felt like that short lady in poltergeist
Like I knew something was going to happen
Uh, can we tone down the fucking uh
And plus I don't like going to bed watching a married couple
With their beautiful family photo and then seeing one killed another and this is what we're watching and then we're going to go to bed
And I gotta fucking go to sleep with one eye open being like why the fuck does she like watching this shit so much?
I actually asked her because I was like snl did a whole sketch on this. I guess that
I mean, I I guess maybe predominantly the viewers are women. I have no idea but
My wife actually broke it down really in a cool way. She goes. Well, you know
As a woman you got to worry that something violent is going to happen to you
So I watched those things because I try and think what I would have done
To prevent it
And I was like, you know what? Uh, that's a fucking great reason to watch this shit
Um, having said that I I don't want to watch it
So, um, anyway, that was my fucking weekend. Uh, let's let's let's read a little advertising here for the uh, oh, I got a couple here

Did a little porn star action sprayed all over it. You walked in the house sat down and watched the end of the nicks game
Fucking nicks are not losing
Watched my Celtics. I watched the third quarter
The heat beaten up on us, but I guess we came back. I'll tell you how fucking amazing
The talent is in the nba for some reason they want to stick it on two teams, but like that kid dunkin robinson
The level of that how good a shooter that guy is
like
There's so many guys that are like borderline larry bird good and they're like I know that guy's known, but I mean
He he if he was that good in the fucking 80s
Like he'd be on the cover of a cereal box
He'd be the best guy on the fucking team basically
And he is it they got jimmy butler. All right gen z is fucked says somebody
I was actually complimenting that generation after the millennials. I thought that uh the millennials
You know, they got a lot of shit dumped on them and I I don't know that they even got to enjoy uh
Being young with all these fucking older people after they went around and did all the shit that they did
I don't know what they did they over if they babied them. I have no idea. Uh, gen z is fucked
Or maybe it's because the uh the way
Baby boomers were raised did baby boomers have millennials. I think they did as did my generation
I just waited so fucking long gen z is fucked. Hello, billy
The bar bag burr
Um, I was listening to your most recent podcast and the guy that I was talking
About gen z what?
Okay, I was listening to your most recent podcast and the guy that was talking about gen z being a bunch of pussies
Um
I don't know they seem pretty cool to me. I'm also a gen z cunt and I'm beginning to see this
Molly coddling of stupid
You spelt stupid wrong
And oversensitive cunts more often. Maybe you spelt it wrong
On purpose. I am from scotland. So our cultures are a bit different
However, I see my fellow gen z compadres on twitter all snowballing onto this bandwagon of being dimwitted pussies
And expressing ridiculous opinions
Well, I just that that's that's a symptom of social media. I see you see older people
You want to see older people do it? Go on facebook. They're doing the same thing
That's just
I don't know what it is. I I'm sure the scientists are doing a study on the effect
of um
Social media on your your own mental health your ego and all of that shit
So I wouldn't put that all in just gen z people. But anyways, uh
What's becoming popular among these cunts in the past two three years is being a cool hipster
Anti-capitalist commie with no good pattern whatsoever
Uh, I am in no way saying that the capitalist countries we live in are a utopia
However, I'd have to say after just knowing the history of communism
It's probably not the best idea to start a fucking revolution anytime soon. Well, do you really think they're going to?
They're not they're just taking on a personality, you know, I was the fucking uh
Well, not until I got older, but I was like the conspiracy theory guy
Reading Behold the Pale Horse and all that shit
Uh, these fucking spastics are now also oh spastics. Ooh coming from uh, scotland. That's an edgy word
Not supposed to say that over there. I thought are now also doing what they proclaim
The big dad capitalist oppressor has been doing to the people
For the past century by shouting down any opposing opinion and labeling them as racist sexist and the rest of it
in the name of free speech and freedom
Uh, I nice one you bunch of fanies. I wish I could say that a scottish accent
Um, I hate to tell you this dude. You're putting this on a generation. There's liberals my age that are doing the same thing
um
they are
unbelievable liberal they are unbelievably liberal as long as you you
See the world exactly the way they do and if you don't they try to figure out a way to take away your career
Um, anyway, I'm not what you would call right wing or left wing in any way because politicians are a bunch of arseholes
And I'd rather not side with any of the cunts. Anyways, sorry if this was a bit long
I just wanted to give my two cents of the matter. I hope you're going well. You're doing well and can come to
scotland glas glas go for some stand-up as soon as this lockdown bullshit's over
Kind regards and go fuck yourself. Yeah, um, listen
I I know that that that cunt that you're talking about is a new breed of cunt
But I want you to know that that transcends generations
that that person is uh
Is in the park, you know, where the parents are watching their kids. There's that person
They're kind of everywhere the social justice warrior
um
Who I really believe most of what they do
Is not actually for people of color
It's so they can talk about it amongst their liberal white friends later to say
the amazingly brave thing that they did
the tweet that they put out or
The thing that they said that they didn't tolerate like that that's how deep they go into actually solving
I guess all the racism and the power structure is they um
They take a firm stand
On things on social media and then they get back to their white lives. Um, all right
I don't know how to say this word
kombucha
A nice alternative to boozing. Hey, bill
Uh put you through that fucking space wall burr. Oh nice a little efforts for family and Mandalorian reference
Now greetings from a fellow fucking
I love when a fellow redhead writes in uh nice work with the sobriety
I wanted to share something that helped me cut down on the booze. It's called
kombucha
Hope you haven't heard of this. I've heard it in a writer's room used as a reference
But I thought it was a coffee or something
If you if you have feel free to toss this email in the trash. It's fermented tea and it's super healthy
It has
Living bacteria in it. So it's great for your gut health. Think yogurt. It's a solid alternative to beer
I'm old enough that I would try this. I drink it when I'm gambling
I'm gaming. Sorry with my buddies and don't want to drink alcohol
It's got the right fizz and gaseousness. So it makes me feel like I'm drinking something with some substance
Oh, by the way at that restaurant, too. I ordered an orange soda that they made like homemade. It was fucking unbelievable
Um, anyway, it does have super low alcohol
0.25 or
minus 5% as a
As a byproduct of the bacteria but you don't feel it at all. All right
You don't have to you'd have to drink 10 to to equate
One miller light
There's a ton of flavors. I like the honey if you get some swirl it don't shake it
Uh, the thing will erupt like a freshman on prom night
Hey
Nice ran. That's a that's a decent joke. I figure it might be uh of some use to you
Cheers and congrats on the wonderful family. Thanks for all the laughs and insight hearing you acknowledge and work on your anger
Has been a big help for me to do the same. Cheers. Well, that's nice. I hope everybody does that
That's why I'm not into cancel culture. I've made every fucking mistake
He could make and I think that like as long as you're trying to be
As long as you look back on yourself five years ago and be like, what the fuck was I thinking?
Why did I say that? Why did I do that?
If you have some sort of shame looking back at yourself five years, I feel like you're growing as a person
But this whole fucking thing going back into somebody's past and being like, uh-huh
What is this about?
It's about being a human being and being wrong in that moment
Is that one moment what I am because I've done some good things. Why can't you just look at the one good thing?
I did seven years ago and then uh-huh. That's that's who he is
Give him a Nobel Peace Prize
I'm all of it
Good the bad the ugly
socialism
I bill you redheaded fuck
I really appreciate the bluntness of that. How are you?
Um last week you mentioned
Uh, you don't know why people demonize socialism
Um, I was really taken aback at that statement. Oh, Jesus Christ
Every country that has tried socialism has failed
And it's responsible for tens of millions of deaths. All right, so would you say capitalism is working?
And it is it is not uh, you know when like what is it like 99% of the wealth isn't like fucking 2% of the people's hands
All of these tense cities you're telling me this is working. You don't think capitalism is responsible for tens of millions of deaths
um
Anyway, russia, germany, china, cuba and most recently venezuela have tried or right now
Are socialist countries as far as I know whatever cuba was trying to do
We prevented them from doing with a fucking embargo or whatever the hell we did. We've been fucking with them for 60 years
So I think you're looking at like, you know
Like what a lot of people do is you look at your own country
Through rose colored glasses the same way you look at your own sports team like oh my team doesn't cheat
But your team does
Um, I'll be honest with you. I don't think any form of government
Works
Because there's human beings running it and there is inherently going to be backdoor deals and people
You know just with
Are just going to have the in and they're going to pay off politicians and all of that. Okay, um
I do what I do like about this here is that you have the opportunity to move up
You're not stuck with where you're at but I mean
You're you're really
You're really sort of looking the other way with what capitalism has done to other countries
um
All the sweatshop labor
All the wars we've fought in over air quote freedom where most of it is about you know
natural resources all of these fucking countries where we've gone in and
you know stuck in
Heads of the government that are going to do what we want to do so we can fucking take advantage of them
They I mean to sit there and look at capitalism like that kids, you know
I don't know dude, but once again, I don't even think you can blame capitalism on that
I think you just can blame sociopathic people that
Both crave and ascend to positions of power
Um, all right, I took off my bergen stocks. I'm going to read read the rest of this here
Okay, socialism all starts the same way create a boogeyman like corporations
The rich or a race
Oh, yeah, we've never done that in this country. We've never created a boogeyman
We yeah, there's never I mean Jesus Christ buddy blame them for all your problems. Yeah, we never did that
The leaders then promise to fix all the problems
Oh boy slowly the government starts to control every aspect of your life
Why does this sound so familiar promise that every I don't think like recording all our phone conversations now
We're slowly on our way to getting microchipped
Promise that everybody will have the same
Equity and outcome this creates mediocrity loss of the middle class
Loss of the middle class. Where have I seen that before?
Uh of innovation uh punisher, you know corporations are buying houses now
They're just buying them up so they can fucking airbeam like the literally the american dream buying a house
They're gonna take that away in this country. Uh, that reduces the tax money coming on into the government buddy
I can't fucking read all of this horseshit. This is everything that we're doing too
Capitalism, okay, I'll get to the end here capitalism. No, you know what?
Let's just read all of this because it's fucking hilarious that he's acting like none of this is happening in this country
Um
And you know what's funny about people you don't like to get the fuck out of here
This is my favorite thing ever
Yet you can look at your sports team
And be like what the fuck is this coach doing and then nobody goes like you don't go fucking through for somebody else
No, i'm criticizing it because I love it and I want it to win. Uh, anyways, this creates mediocrity
Uh loss of the middle class loss of innovation
Punish the rich which eventually leads to them leaving the country. Oh, yeah, that hasn't happened
That hasn't yeah, the rich haven't like, you know, their money leaves the country and then comes back in the form of an interest-free loan
That is then forgiven
Jesus buddy, come on
That reduces tax money coming into the government and loss of jobs because the richest people usually employ the most of the population
Oh boy disarm the citizens so that they can't cannot revolt
Control the media like promoting the government control the media
There's two guys that own the media ted turner and fucking that other guy there the guy for fox news
Um, that's why we're hat fields and mccoys right now
Disarm the citizens so they cannot revolt control the media like promoting the government agenda with propaganda then censorship of all their other ideas
Yeah, creating areas where you can only protest which are down and around the corner
Away from the uh, the fucking media. Yeah, okay
Eventually all rights are taken away the centers journalists and politicians
Oppositions are jailed or executed
Eventually the leaders will be uh become exactly what they originally campaigned against Jesus christ buddy
I I've I've forgotten what's your
He goes this much more to it on the economic level, but as a fellow moron, it's too complicated for me to understand
All right, I am also a fellow moron, but dude all of that shit has happened
If you look at all the rights and everything that you have lost
In the last fucking 20 years
um
I don't even know I don't even begin in creating a boogeyman and racism genocide every we all of that shit. We've done all of that
We've done all of that
You know
When I was a kid there was rules on media ownership. No one person could own any seven
It was rules of seven. No one person can own seven radio stations newspapers tv stations
Blah blah blah blah blah in in one market because they knew if you control if you
Owned all of that if you control the media you control thought and yet they've let ted turner in that fucking uh
I want to say ralph naven rupert murdoch
Do exactly that
And present cnn and fox news have the fucking balls
To present the people that are on tv as journalists and then also acting as though you're watching news. You're not you're watching propaganda
Okay
So there you go. All right
Okay transgender fan. Hey, all right. Look at me crossing over here. Hey, billy. I've been listening to uh
The podcast since I was 16. I'm 22 now and I've enjoyed every episode especially during quarantine
I'm a violinist
Sculptor and a trans man. Look at you
Uh definition in the next paragraph. Thank you and have been wanting to write in for a while after hearing you read the letter a fan sent in about
His trans friends attending his wedding. I thought now would be the time. Oh beautiful. All right. Let me do the recap
so this guy was um
Getting married
And not one but two of his friends that he was going to have be
groomsmen
Either had transitioned or were in the process of transitioning
And he was like am I an asshole if I don't want him to wear a dress
Okay, that was the question
So me knowing nothing about the subject that didn't stop me from answering it
That's in the I believe the previous are two episodes ago. Um, all right. So now we're gonna actually hear from somebody
Live in the life here first off. I do want to clear clarify that by trans man
I mean I transitioned from female to male
Oh
Fuck okay. I didn't get that
I thought trans man
Bet you went the other way. Okay
And in instrument rating that would be reverse sensing
Uh on a vor for all you pilots out there in short
I'm a he and your response to the fan that wrote and you said that transitioning seems like a massive emotional process
And you were exactly right. Hey, look at me. Look at me not bad for a sith white male
When I described the experience which I do openly to create a dialogue for people who are generally curious
I often say that transitioning is not an option
But more so the only option from for most people like me
Let me ask you this before you totally committed. Was there any doubt like I hope because I mean
I hope I'm doing the right. I hope I'm getting this right
Because I can't tell you how many times I've misread my feelings. I mean, but the the stakes were not that high
That's like fucking
You're going all in with the chips so to speak
Uh, anyway, he goes imagine you wake up one day with boobs and are and are expected to wear heels
after the novelty of having of
having 24 seven access
To tits wears off
It fucking sucks. Let me read this again. Imagine you wake up one day with boobs and are expected to wear heels
All right. Now, wait a minute. I thought you transitioned
From a woman to a man
I mean, I transitioned from female to male. Okay
Says imagine you wait. Oh, maybe she's
He's putting me in this. I don't know
Imagine you wake up one day with boobs and are have and are expected to wear heels after the novelty of
Having 24 seven access to tits wears off. It fucking sucks
Nobody chooses to go through all of that trouble of being a lot
Alienated from friends and family members on a whim
Well, there you go. You just answered my question for me. If I wanted to have a future post high school
I had to make this step and I have avoided a lot of further mental
dissonance
Thanks to the scientists and surgeons who advocated for trans medicine
And yes, I will always trust the opinions of a scientist over a politician
Fair enough
As the wedding scenario goes I can guarantee his trans grooms
Were just as conflicted as him
I also came out right before a relative's wedding and was given an ultimatum of
You either lie about your identity
If you want to remain a part of this family or you won't be welcomed back into our lives
Eh, it's just fucking can you imagine your family saying that to you?
I ended up playing violin at their ceremony for free and never getting invited to another family reunion
Wow
That is really fucking sad. I'm sorry that happened to you
Uh, hopefully uh, Jesus in the near future that doesn't happen. How do you disown a fucking your own kid?
I don't I don't get that
I don't get that. I mean I draw the line of you know hearing my kid leave and then get in charge with them at night
In covering for a murder
I mean there are lines
Um
Yeah, you do some dateline shit, you know
I mean you're kind of out on your own
But I'd still visit you when you went to jail and I would be like where did I fuck up that made you do something like that
um
Anyway, personally if I were asked to be a bridesmaid before coming out as a guy
I would I would have stepped down because I don't want to be the one guy in a traditional
Traditionally female role
I'm betting this guy's trans grooms
People felt similar. I have to fucking do the math on that. I wouldn't have stepped down because I don't want to be the one guy
in a traditionally female role
Uh, I don't know what that means. I'm betting this guy's trans grooms people felt the sim
similar
I'll hope you guys understood what that meant. I didn't get that one sentence. Okay, and here's where the rant opens up. All right
Here we go
Taking the gloves off there. All right. A lot of trans people are are really pissed by the false and performative
ally ship
The far left has dumped on us
With little work to back their claims up
Yeah, it's a fucking show. That's what I think so much of that liberal social justice fucking horseshit is
It's just for you to put on a little performance on your social media page
And people can be like, oh, wow, you're an ally. Here's your little rainbow fucking emoji
And then you can just go back to live in your life and you're not getting your hands dirty
um
It's like those white people that marched with black lives mattered as they were live instagramming themselves
Like look at me. I have a bandana on i'm a fucking revolutionary
And then after that they just went back to their life
Got crossfit in the morning
We are identifying more as independence because we've experienced hate from the right and tokenism from the left
Oh, yeah, you get used
I mean
Which is worse at least I mean, I know the hate if it escalates the violence is bad
But at least if somebody's just straight up it says how they feel about you as opposed to just using you
um
Anyway, I think a lot of your jokes about trans people are actually more about performative
cis people
I don't know what cis means who are using trans issues for votes because they know
We are a very vulnerable group
Yeah, well
They kind of do that with everybody. I guess that's the only positive way politicians always do that
They're always fucking looking for some fucking angle
For themselves anyway
But not all they're not all bad. There's got to be some good ones in there
Trans people just want to live a normal life start a family and not be claimed as a political pawn
I was at my lowest depression before I started hormones and got my chest
masculine
Masculinization procedure
What chest did you go with are they good enough that you can pick one out?
Because personally speaking, you know, I would I would go fucking Matthew McConaughey
um
But here's the thing, you know, what's funny is if they actually get it down someday where you could do that
all of these fucking
People who are like anti trans and all of that shit if they find out that you can actually get
A Matthew McConaughey chest and they're looking at their fucking mantits. They might do it
You know, I got the McConaughey
You know, you know right before they fucking put the fucking gas on your face. You have headphones
And the last thing you hear is Matthew McConaughey going all right. All right. All right
And you wake up with a chiseled tan chest
um
That'd be fucking hilarious if I did that as a redhead and my chest didn't match my the whiteness of my head
Then I have to go reverse Michael Jackson
You know do a reverse bleaching
Um, anyway, let's not make this about you bill. Anyway, he says uh, he says, uh, I haven't left the house in weeks
I hadn't left the house in weeks and nearly dropped out of school since transitioning
I'm happy back on stage volunteering writing music
That's great teaching violin students running my small business. There you go. Don't work for somebody else
And I have have met someone special
Look at you. I know I'm from an outside perspective being trans
I know from an outside perspective being trans seems crazy
If you knew the thunder and lightning between my fucking ears, I don't think anybody's crazy. I think it's fucking crazy
to uh
go through life
And not think that you're kind of fucking nuts
yourself
You know walking around thinking you have it all figured out. I think that that's fucking crazy. I'm not gonna lie to you like
you know
Like shit freaks me out
Without a doubt. I'm not saying this shit, but I will tell you when when
Bruce became Caitlyn. There was definitely, you know, a what the fuck moment now i'm used to it
But what was weird about that
Was if you were like me, you weren't for some reason allowed to have that what the fuck moment
um
Which is one of those things that the left is like
Psychotic with it's like you you got a little
You got to let everybody kind of go through their emotions as long as they're not hurting anybody
They're you're processing it. That's all right. So anyway
This person says I felt the same way until I realized I would always be
Be an angry sad person if I had stayed in the closet
I started listening to your podcast the same month I came out back in 2017 has not been offended by the jokes about trans people
Contrary to what the far left or right want you to think trans folk have a pretty thick skin
And we're no strangers to having having to advocate for our rights
I've been doing a lot of work on undoing the anger
I built up over my teenage years and listening to your show has given me laughs
When I needed them the most thanks and go fuck yourself. Wasn't that great
Look at me, huh?
I'm gonna make that whole fucking thing about me. You know the appeal of me
It's just really amazing and you guys I just want to say as a podcast justice warrior
All right, so if anybody is listening to this
And your kid is gay and they came out and you disowned them. Can you can you not do that to him?
That's such a fucking horrible
horrible thing to do to somebody
It really is it really is it's like, you know
Just try to be uh, you know
Just fucking work your way through it
You know what I mean, it's I don't I don't I don't get it. I don't fucking get it
That happens to me with one of my kids. I mean it's you just be who the fuck you are and don't be a fucking asshole to other people
That's all I ask. Can you just do that? Great
All right, you're cool with me. Okay sign stealing equals joke stealing
All right. Hey, hey, billy velocity blue balls
Oh velocity blue balls. Oh, that's the ford velocity blue, which they're discontinuing in the f-250 in 2022
Just wanted to reach out and see if I could change your perspective on the astros sign stealing scandal
Because honestly every time you talk about it. I want to punch you in the face. I'll do you I don't give a fuck
Uh, so that being said, let's have some friendly discourse. Oh, you let me off the hook
The way I see it the astros using electronic video equipment to steal signs is very similar to comedian stealing each other's jokes
Oh my god, this is almost like you took something that wasn't in my world and put it in my world
By golly, I think it's going to take two more sentences and I'll come around to your opinion
All right
You really think I'm dumb, don't you? Uh more specifically if you apply the arguments
Defending the astros to defending joke thieves
It's easy to see the hypocrisy
Oh, is it?
You sound like gwyneth paltrow like i'm reading a cookbook. It's all easy. Okay, imagine me someone who doesn't know jack
Shit about comedy saying everyone is stealing jokes
But people only hate that comedian because they got caught
That is just like you saying someone who doesn't know jack shit about baseball saying everyone is stealing signs
But people only hate on the astros because they got caught
um
Yeah, but for this theory to work every joke every comedian would have to be stealing jokes
They're not
Okay, that's the difference
Everyone is stealing signs in baseball. That's why they have signs
That's why they fucking switch up signs
That's why in football they hold up the card with the fucking picture of the eiffel tower a donut and and fucking uh
michael douglas because people on the other side are stealing signs
Okay
Contrary to your analogy
Is I can do my act
In front of 99 percent of fucking comedians and not have to worry about getting my jokes stolen because
99 percent of comedians do not steal jokes
But I will continue with your analogy
Um
And I like how you're ignoring the fact that the red sox and yankees had 200 million dollar
Royted up free agent teams and won a whole bunch of world series
But evidently that was okay
um
And you're gonna get these guys on sign stealing, uh, well that'd be like me saying
Well that comedian was funny enough to sell out msg anyways, so it doesn't matter it doesn't this analogy doesn't work
But I'll continue I don't understand how you can be so outspoken against joke stealing yet still defend cheaters
From a different profession. I'm not defending cheating
I'm not defending cheating what I'm saying, sir, which which I think is
Hypocritical to use your word and when I use this analogy, I think it's just going to be really easy for you to see
Okay, is that for people to not look
At teams that field 180 200 million dollar teams
that had like
Future hall of famers on it that they got from other teams that were doing steroids
And not question those champions those those those world series rings
But then be like all these fucking dirty astros is a joke. So here's my thing
If you're gonna call them cheaters you got to call all of them cheaters
That's my shit right there because my thing is I believe that
The same way I feel barry bonds was a victim of the steroid error
Where he was the best guy
He was the guy
He was the guy that if anybody was going to break the home run record
He was the guy that was going to do it and then these other guys took steroids and became better than him
And then next so you know the president bill clinton is calling them congratulations
It's amazing. He must be getting a lot of pussy, right? He's calling them
So then barry bonds and no one did anything about it. So barry bonds is like, all right
If that's how the game's played
Fuck it. Here's me on roids and then everybody's like, oh barry bonds. You fucking piece of shit
I think that's ridiculous. So I think it's ridiculous
To fucking ignore
What some of those bigger teams red socks and Yankees and all of those guys did what those fucking super
ridiculous budgeted fucking teams
And the fact that not only that like not that was so fucking unfair
Forget about that. They had the money that they could do that and then just pay a fucking luxury tax
And and then fucking
Nobody gives them shit nobody says they were cheating and then the astros come along they get busted for stealing signs
And they're they like this secondary market team
Who can't hold on to their fucking stars because these other behemoths are vacuuming them up
So they go, all right, fuck it. We got to steal signs to compete with you
And then they do and then I'm supposed to feel bad for the fucking Yankees
Or if they beat the red socks, I'm supposed to feel bad for us. I don't I don't
I would say that what the astros did
Is when you go to jail, you're not supposed to make a shank, but everybody's got one
So in order to survive you got to make one
Okay, so going back to your your analogy there is your analogy is acting like every comedian steals jokes
They don't your analogy is acting like everybody in baseball and professional sports isn't cheating and that's not the truth
it isn't
People get busted all the fucking time pumping crowd noise in
Owners sitting on competition committees changing the rule of the games
To fucking make it work for them the nfl the whole fucking nfl
Whatever the latest most high-powered offenses that's working everybody steals it
They break it down figure out how it works and then they incorporate it. They don't come up with their own
Original offense they do the same things with defenses. I mean I could go fucking on and on about it. So
Nice try with the joke stealing thing, but no pun intended swinging a miss. All right
Diamonds from cremation
What the fuck dear billy better oneself my girlfriend recently shared something with me that immediately made me think of you
Apparently there are companies that will take the ashes of your loved ones and convert them into diamonds
I was wondering what your thoughts would be on this
Would be as some women appear to be turning their dead husbands into jewelry
I
Immediately thought of my kids. It's like if you can find value in my fucking burned up carcass
And it makes your life easy
He he goes does it ever end bill? Is it ever enough? That's so fucking funny
That's a fucking killer stand-up bit. You should go do that somewhere
Anyway, oh wait, we all steal jokes now. I'm gonna do it
Um, I'm a longtime listener and hearing you make efforts to better yourself over the years has been great
Big fan and keep up the great work. All right. Well, you know, I hope I'm inspiring you guys to do the same
um
Because it is I can't I gotta tell you I feel the best I've felt
Since um, I don't know in my adult life that I actually finally
For the first time I'm starting to have control over this thing
that was really embarrassing to me and really hurt people around me, which is my anger and
Um
It's funny if you go to therapy and you really get to the root and you're really just fucking
Let it all go and figure out why you're angry
All of a sudden you look back on I don't know. I've ever long you've been angry being like that's why I did this
This is why I did that. Oh, I did this. What a fucking asshole
That's why I drank the way I drank all of this shit. It's like the end of a fucking movie
Uh more like a streaming series. Well, if you find out who fucking did what right? So, um
It's been a great thing for me and it's been an even better thing for the people around me. So, uh
Yeah, that's it. All right people and with that go fuck yourselves and I will check in on you on thursday
