Download the My The Leise App and Kokme
Yes, great!
The Leise, along with the Gleven
Is that a record for how quickly I said the F word?
I'm actually doing the podcast right now, riding in a car
I'm not driving, I'm on my way to New York City
Because I have to do some promotional stuff here
For Effis for Family that's coming out this week, right?
Or next week?
May 30th, I don't know what
So this begins, oh Billy Redface
Showing his freckled puss on anything I can get myself on
You know, so whatever, I'm driving to New York
And you know something, there's all this fucking traffic
And I gotta take an early flight tomorrow back to LA
I don't have time, and my wife just sent me this whole thing
On what successful people do, and they fucking
You know, they, I don't know what they do
They know how many minutes are in a day
Evidently, there's 1440 minutes in a day
And they use this wisely, and they delegate
Right? They delegate shit
I don't wanna do that, you know how to do that, right?
Alright, I'll pay you to do that
You know, a small portion of what the fuck I'm making
I gotta get better at that
In order to delegate though, what you have to be
Is you have to be social
And you know, that's not my thing unless I've had a couple of drinks
Other than that, I'm kind of a curmudgeon
I don't know if you've noticed, I'm a little bit grumpy
But we're fucking cruising now
This would be like a Thursday one
I thought I was gonna get to do the whole hour
So anyways, I just got back from my tour up there in Canada
Work with Nate Craig, who murdered it
If you don't believe me, ask anybody who was in Winnipeg
Saskatoon, and Regina
And first of all, I'm very proud that Nate and I did a show
Two shows in Regina, and neither one of us went with the easy joke
Nobody did the stupid, it rhymes with fun
Nobody's like, Regina, Regina, what's up with that?
I thought there was gonna be a giant twat here
Sinkhole, slash thing
We kinda left it alone
And I don't know, we had a great time
Let's just back it up here, okay?
We start off in Winnipeg
I told the people at Winnipeg that I wasn't gonna tell people this
But I just think they're so off the beat, Matt
The path is fine
The cuisine in Winnipeg is fucking insane
Alright?
Ah, Jesus, what's the name of that place?
We actually didn't have time to go this time
I ordered from this place the peasant something or other
It was my little list of places to go
Scrolling down to Winnipeg
I thought there was gonna be a bunch of traffic
He's just blocking me up the driver here
Alright, peasant kitchen
Get to Tortierre, if you're ever there
T-O-R-T-I-E-R-E, it's French pork pie
And then we went to the tallest poppy for breakfast the next day
And I wouldn't have known about either one of those
Shout out to a Canadian by the name of Ed Robertson
You might have heard of him
He plays in a band, I think he's in a garage band
Or something like that
You might have heard of him, I don't know
I'm just fucking with you
So anyways, the food was unbelievable up there
And the shows were awesome
Played in this old theater that I forget the name of
I don't remember
It's been around since like 1900
And up top they have like the same old shitty seats they used to have
Back when everything was segregated
And all the white people were downstairs
And anybody else had to walk all the flights of stairs to go upstairs
And what's the result?
What's the result?
50 years later, white people are getting their asses kicked in sports
You know why?
We got no quads, we don't have any glutes
That's why our asses are so flat
We just used to walk into the theater, we were on the ground level
And everybody else had to walk up
That's why we got our asses kicked from the gridiron to the dojo
It's true
Let's go back to going to see Harry Houdini and not having to work for it
So we were actually there and it wasn't cold as shit like the last time
And I tried out some new stuff
Everything was going great
Went to bed the first night and had a drop of booze
How about that?
Didn't smoke a cigar, even though there was Cuban cigars
But it's Canada, so they got Cuban cigars
But there's no place to smoke them
They're very hostile against smokers
They're just maybe like overly protective
They saw a helicopter parent with smokers up there
And you're sort of, I guess, allowed to do it outside
Although I didn't think I really saw anybody smoking anywhere
So anyways, we did that gig
And the next one on the docket was we drove up to Sasca Tune
I was speaking in which there was these two or three cunts at the Winnipeg show
I thought they were booing me
But they were just going, tune!
I don't know why we were in Winnipeg
I guess that short for Saskatoon
It's like Cleveland, the land up there, I guess they call it the tune
Or they just yell out tune, I have no fucking idea
But we, I thought they were booing me
So, you know, I got off stage and I was just like, Jesus Christ, man
I thought that was a good show, you know?
But I was like, no, no, no, they were yelling tune
I'm like, what's tune? For Saskatoon
I was like, all right, we're in Winnipeg
They're like, oh, yes, sorry, sorry
That's a big thing in Canada, everybody's sorry
I'm like, oh, sorry
Like this waitress was clearing our table and, you know
Plate is empty and when she goes to clear it, she goes, oh, sorry, sorry
It's like, you're apologizing for due
You brought food to me, now you're taking it away and you're apologizing
Do it all the time, sorry
I'm sorry, get the puck out, sorry
So anyways, we did the drive up from Winnipeg to Saskatoon
The one that everybody was saying, hey, get ready
What the hell's that sound?
Jesus, that's not pleasant, is it?
I'm sorry, sorry
I picked it up
I'm gonna be ridiculously pleasant on this, you know?
Fuck those cunts who yelled out tune in Winnipeg, sorry
So anyways, everyone was saying I was gonna be dreading that drive
You know, like an eight-hour drive
And so we start, me and Nate start driving up
And we're just hitting all these bugs and shit
But I gotta tell you, man, it was beautiful
And both loved the drive
You know, we live in L.A.
We're just smashed in with a zillion other people
It's nice to get out there
What a beautiful country Canada is
Good Lord
All these farmhouses
All of this land
It was beautiful
And all I just kept thinking was I would love to fly a helicopter out here
Because if you had a problem, you could land it anywhere
As opposed to when I'm in L.A.
I'm looking for fucking soccer fields and playgrounds
And hoping there's not kids there
If I ever had a problem
And just up there was just like
Just wide-open spaces
And it wasn't that bad a drive
We did it in like seven hours
We took the one-lane highway instead of the two-lane highway
So we had a lot of fun like peeking around trucks and shit
Trying to pass them
A lot of farmers like driving these giant tractors down the fucking street
You know
I don't know
I got a bunch of pictures of shit that I saw
Every mile, there was a barn that looked like it was gonna fall down
And there'd be some guy who just had like a zillion fucking cars
Or tires or something all piled up in his yard
It was really
It was pretty interesting
And I was just thinking those guys from Gas Monkey
You know, if they ever pull all the fucking cars out of barns down in the states
They could just go up to Manitoba and Saskatchewan
They'd find
I saw a number
I saw a 65
I'm driving like 70 miles an hour too when I still saw it
So a 65 Ford Galaxy
I don't know if it was the 500
Might have been, no, I think it was the 64 actually
64
I know, it sounded like the fucking Rain Man right now
So anyways, then we get up to fucking Saskatchewan
Saskatoon
And we only had one show that night
So of course I went out and got absolutely fucking hammered
Hammered at this bar
A lot of tattoos
A lot of tattoos up in Saskatoon
A lot of tattoos, sorry
Um
But it was a beautiful town, it had this amazing park
And um
Which I forget the fucking name of
And I got up the next day because I and I
From all those years I haven't a paper route
Like I can only sleep for so fucking long I just sort of naturally wake up
So even though I didn't get to bed until like 2 in the morning
I still woke up at like 8.30
And I was staying at that fucking red rum hotel there
It's this beautiful old hotel that looks like you could have shot the shining in there
And it's right next to this long park
And I just was watching
I got this little mini waterfall
I watched these pelicans
Trying to fish
I saw some geese with some baby geese walking around
It was crazy
Through all these years of living in New York in LA
I was just sitting there geeking out
And there was some old lady standing there looking at the goose
And the goose was like putting its fucking head down
Looking at her
And I'm thinking that's like an aggressive posture
So I walked away but I was also looking sort of laughing
Like thinking that goose was going to fuck the old lady up
And then thinking like what would I do
Because that would be bad
I mean I can't walk away from the old lady
But I also don't want to slap this shit out of this goose in front of all of its children
So sort of a tense little moment there out in nature
And fortunately cooler heads prevailed
And everybody went their separate ways
But I don't think the old lady knew how close she came, you know
She had a big grin on her face
Like ducking down low
So she's kind of ducking down like imitating it
You know, she's looking at a gorilla and she's pounding her chest
And I thought for half a second like I was going to see some like, you know
Some fucking old lady bird MMA action, you know
But you know what, she's so fucking old
I bet she knows how to kill a goose
She probably went out in the back here and I do that shit
They just walk up and they grab it by the neck
And then they do the spin move
And then they just hold on to the neck so the body spins
And it just breaks the fucking thing's neck
She looked like she was old enough that she actually lived during those times
You know, back when you earned your meal, you know
Like you knew the name of the thing that you killed
It was like a pet, right?
You had weird dreams and probably slipped into your fucking sexuality somehow
You're like dressing up like a bird when you fuck or something like that
There's some weird thing when anytime you get abused, you know, violent, sexy
I don't know what it is, it ends up making you some weirdo on the wreck
So anyways, I end up doing the...
So I walked up and I went over that river there, whatever the fuck it is
Like walking along these train tracks
And I gotta be honest with you, I was a little nervous about that
Because it was this old kind of wooden bridge
And I was just thinking, every time someone would walk by me
You know, I always kind of made eye contact and like braced myself
Because I just was nervous that someone was just gonna grab my legs and throw me over
I remember seeing a movie a long time ago, this guy did that
He was a psycho and he went hiking with these people and they didn't realize he was a psycho
I think he had already killed people and then he went up there and
He went to like take a picture of this woman, this couple of somebody
Push both of them off the fucking cliff
And it was so eerily done
That I'm like, this has to be based on a true story
Because usually that's not good enough for Hollywood
There has to be some dramatic way they kill you rather than just some creepy real way
So I was walking across that, that beautiful nature and everything
Then I was just, you know, worried someone's gonna just...
I don't know, just grabbed me by my ankles and tossed me right over before I realized what it was going on
You know, typical shit, had to be so busy trying to save my cell phone
I wouldn't even think about myself before I went over
I think I could have landed it though, you know
I don't think I was that high up
You know, what does that say about me that I'm going through nature
I'm thinking birds are gonna tackle ladies or somebody's gonna throw me off a bridge
Or even just overly conscious because I know the fucking drivers wasn't in there
Anyways, plowing ahead here
Then we did the drive down to Regina, I don't know, I don't really have any...
We went to some fucking bar
Well, I don't even know where the hell I was drinking
It's the same place I had lunch and I fucking went into...
When I was in Saskatoon, it's right out front from the...
From the red rum inn that I was staying at
And oh my god, that place was a shit show
And this is fucking hilarious, we walked into the bar and the guy goes
Can I see your driver's license?
And I go, yeah, and then he goes to scan the thing
And I like blocked it with my hand and I go, dude, don't scan my ID
But he'll go, oh, you know, it's just for us, blah, blah, what the fuck
Fuck outta here
He would scan Nate's though
It's just like, hey, like, just the liberties that people take with your ID
I don't let go of my ID anymore, let me see your ID
And I just show, I hold on to it and they go to take it
I go, just read it
I don't give people my ID, you can look at it, you can read it
You know, I check into hotels, they always go to grab it from me and I hold on to it
And they go, oh, sorry, sorry, can I see it?
I go, I don't want you to type any information into your, you know
Oh, we just do that, so the next time you stay, now you don't
You take it and then you sell it
And then someone else gets it and then all my fucking shit's out there
And they say, you know, you know, I don't know what
Somebody defaults on a house and fucking Regina and the banks are coming after me
I don't know what, I just know it's not a good thing
So we went in there, oh my god, those people were fucking partying
It was some sort of holiday weekend up there, I don't know what it was for
But a lot of tattoos, a lot of tattoos
A lot of sleeves, a lot of fucking tattoos
I just kept drinking and drinking and drinking
And I vaguely remember them bringing a hockey stick over
It was a Sherwood that blew my mind
Because I had not seen one of those since I was a kid, you know
And they did shots out of it
And I don't really remember much after that
I just remember, I walked out by myself, I do remember that, I think
Yeah, so then the next day I woke up and I did the whole stupid walk
And when I was done with the walk, there was this little double decker bus
And I was starving, I didn't know where there was a good breakfast place
And I just said fuck it, and I walked up to the double decker bus
That they turned into this fucking little restaurant thing
And I had a hot dog for breakfast and followed it up with a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone
And I sat alone on a fucking park bench eating an ice cream cone
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, hung over his shit and just laughing at myself
Like what kind of a fucking life am I living?
So as I'm sitting there, this nice Canadian couple pulls up, right?
They're both on bicycles, one of them is towing a kid
And I just see the one guy, you know, they're all like Flanders
Like that's how nice they are up there, and he just goes, he pulls up and he's like, oh no, oh no
And I'm like, what's he looking at?
And I turned around and I looked back at the little bus thing that had the hot dogs and the ice cream
And like 40 children just showed up, brought up by like the teachers or something
It's like they were going to be out of ice cream and hot dogs by the time these people ordered
It was fucking hilarious, I beat the rush just by like 30 seconds
Like they were just all, oh no, oh jeez
Well I guess we got here at the wrong time
No, no, no, sorry, sorry, it's okay, it's okay
You eat everything, I don't need nourishment
They were like even apologetic like that
I always forget how loud and obnoxious I am and my fellow Americans are until I go to like other countries
Like I don't want to be the guy shitting on Americans
Because I was up there and Nate just kept talking about how nice the people were up there
And I was like dude fuck these people, they riot when they lose, you know, a playoff series
Okay, they're just as racist, they're just as fucked up, blah blah
By the time we got to Regina I was like alright, you know what, these are really nice people
I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you
Alright, I'm stubborn, I don't want to be yet another person that travels to another country
And then comes back here to tell everybody how everything in this country is wrong
You should see how they make a grilled cheese sandwich up there
I mean, it's just so, everything's like fucking better, it's like really
Is that why everybody's always paying attention to us, you know
If we stink so bad, how come you know the name of our president and we don't know the name of your president, huh?
Why don't you think about that one for a second
Gee, I don't know, Bill, because you guys dropped bombs on us
Alright, fair enough
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Alright, 17 minutes, this is like the fucking old days
Right now if you'd like to know, I'm going over the Manhattan Bridge
Looking at my old digs way back in the day up the street
I used to live in Yorkville, I think that's what it was called
It was the depressing fucking Roosevelt Island Queensborough Bridge
I walked across that thing one time, I was so sick of going to the gym
I was just like, you know, I ran down, I didn't run, what am I talking about
I fucking walked down, walked over the bridge
And there's no way to walk on a bridge and not think about that Saturday night fever
That fucking idiot, you know
I love how he was too cowardly to get into that fight
And then he's going to do a headstand on the Verrazano Bridge
That's the one, by the way, that's the one that goes from Brooklyn to Staten Island
See if I still remember this, it goes Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan, Williamsburg, then Manhattan
Hey, sir, is this the Brooklyn, I mean is this the Manhattan or Williamsburg?
Williamsburg
Williamsburg, oh sorry, Williamsburg, my fault
So it goes Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, Queensborough
And then I don't know what the fuck else is up there, there's some sort of footbridges
Tribural bridges, some shit, they probably renamed it, you know, at this point
It's not the Jackie Robinson fucking bridge, it's probably named after some lady, you know
I don't know what, some lady who fucking showed a clam on a show
And she was considered brave, you know, the hairy twat, the hairy bridge
Look, I don't do a fucking vagina, joker, vagina, now I'm going to do it on a bridge
What's wrong with me?
So anyways, oh my god, Alphabet City, yeah
Now it's like all nice, Thompson Square, pack, all the memories are coming back
You know, I've been gone from this city for so long that there's a lot of it that I don't even recognize
Like, I mean obviously the Empire State Building and that type of shit, Times Square and that type of thing
But it's like just completely different from the city that I moved to
Like Times Square was fucking scary when I moved here
So we just drove by, just drove by and was driving like 30 miles an hour with the sunroof open
With their cell phone out the top videotaping
I guess I'm podcasting but I'm not driving, right?
Oh, do you want to film it? Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, it's okay, sorry
I'll edit it for you, I won't charge you anything, I'm Canadian
How funny is it that they're that nice and then you get them out on the ice?
That's when it all comes out, right?
Fucking cross-check into the neck, all of a sudden Flanders gets his glasses off
Puts on a different kind of sweater and you better keep your fucking head up
That's Canada, right?
Can somebody please do a drawing of fucking Flanders as a goon?
For the fucking, I don't know, the Thunder Bay, Lamas, whatever the name of your teams are
Up there in the fucking lower levels, the minor leagues, whatever you call them
Every fucking Canadian has a say, oh I made it to Thunder Bay and I didn't
I wasn't good enough to get in the NHL so I tried to fight my way into the league
I know I'm doing a bad Canadian accent, I apologize
But anyways, I remember a long time ago, Jeff Ross hosted a comedy show
Live from Thompson Square Park
And I remember thinking that was so fucking badass, anybody that was performing there
Because Alphabet City, like before it even came here, people were saying how scary that was
And Thompson Square was just like, the city had just given in to like
I mean, it was like, that's a subway going by if you hear something
It was just like a tense city, like I walked by it one time and it was just like
I was trying to mask the fear in my face, plus you know, rubber neck and just wanted to see what it looked like
And it was like junkies, homeless people, just fucking mentally ill people
It was like, it was like the beginning of a bad like hair metal video
You know, when they used to try to do those apocalypse ones
They were all basically loosely based on the escape from New York
People coming up on a manholes, even once his face did that, Michael Jackson did it
It was like the thriller video, except you know, it was real
Get away
Anyways, I'm going to read some advertising here at the risk of getting carsick
It was funny about having a kid as your screen savers all become your kid
And every time you pick up your phone, you just, you know, you're around other adults
And they have no idea you're looking at your kid and you just go
Then you try to turn it into a cough
Excuse me
Because as a man, you're not allowed to show love
Oh yeah, that was a spaghetti bolognese with delicious veal
Yeah, great
Alright, content live reads

Start a privileged career in the fucking alt rooms
Where there was like, no heckling, let's just support
And give somebody at least 20 minutes to get to a fucking punchline
This was like club comics going down there and then just some weirdo people that
You know, just were just totally different, but all the comics loved them
And I used to do a place down here called Surf Reality
And I remember every time I got off the train and I walked over here
I used to fuck, I was convinced I was gonna get mugged
And I bought this jacket from the Army Navy store
And a black fucking hat, trying to look like I was in nom or some shit
And, you know, keeping my head down so they didn't see the fucking Ron Howard
Look on my goddamn face, you know?
You know what's great about this is as I look out this
I might be able to do a whole podcast and not bring up what is happening to my Boston Celtics
Jesus Christ, everything that I feared finally happened
I told you guys when I first started watching them, I'm like, how can a team that doesn't really have a center
That doesn't rebound, is not good playing D in the paint
And lives and dies by the three
How can you win in the NBA?
But they did, and I bought into it
And you know what, a big bucket of reality hit us and gave us the old right there, Fred
I don't know if game three is tonight, but after watching game two
Jesus Christ
I was so excited, at least we got the number one pick next year
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say maybe we should get a center
What are you guys thinking, man? You still believe in Kelly Olinik?
If the rest of the team can somehow get us to game seven
I'm warning you people in Cleveland right now, you better watch out for Kelly Olinik
That is a bad man in game seven
Games one through six, he's fucking horrific
But you get that man to game seven
Lucky seven, that's what I call him
Lucky seven with his Kobe 11s
Brings the Celtics to heaven, some shit, I don't know if it rhymes, it's true
After game two, I'm wondering if we're even gonna make it to game four
I mean, we lost by 54 fucking points
That's like some shit that happens when you're like in middle school
But there's a part of me that actually enjoys this
Because I'm rooting against the Warriors
And I think at Bugs LeBron and the Cavaliers that we were the number one seed
I think it bugs him that they acted like we even remotely had a shot against them
And I know Isaiah's hurt, we just found that out, but come on
He's hurt, so what, we only lose by 34 points?
I think they just got a chip on their shoulder, they're the defending champs
And nobody is talking about them like they are
And everybody's up the fucking ass
You know, oh, the Boston Celtics, who they're number one seed, just trying to sell this series, right?
Everybody's out there talking about the fucking, the filthy Golden State Warriors
Kicking people in the balls and blowing out fucking ankles and shit
I mean, has there been a more boring western conference or eastern conference matchups?
I mean, these things have just been absolute blowouts
I bet they're calling up Stern again and he's gonna get those mobbed up refs in there to fucking start fixing some games again
Just so they don't lose out on all this ad money
Because these things are just gonna go, they're gonna go four games
Rather than having 14 games, possibly, of ad money
They're gonna have the bare minimal eight, you know?
And these owners, man, they got a lot of money they have to pay out to these players, you know?
They spend a lot of money with their hookers and all that type of shit, you know?
Getting their fucking tummies tucked
Lap band surgery and all this shit, getting their faces yanked back
So they can keep banging the underpaid cheerleaders or whatever it is that they do
So everybody's just basically waiting for the finals
And I don't know, man, I don't want to jinx it
I'm gonna shut up because I already jinxed the fucking city of Washington
By just saying I don't want to jinx it, but I think...
Well, I'm not gonna say what's gonna happen, I'm just gonna say what I would love to see
I want to see the Cavaliers win, I want to see them go fucking back to back
And I want to see that fucking dream team
Of, I don't know, I can't say a bunch of free agents, just, I don't know
I'm just all cunty because I wanted to see the fucking...
I wanted to see the thunder, see if they could get by him
I didn't want to see the fucking, one of the best guys just joined the goddamn team
Can you imagine that, like, back in the day?
You know, like, when Larry Bird steals the ball from Isaiah
Can you imagine the next year, like, Isaiah Thomas was a Celtic?
Then we just, like, kicked the shit
There's a fucking guy staring at me, like, why I'm doing this recording right now
I just waved at him
And he continued to stare at me, and now I'm feeling like...
Now I'm feeling weird
Well, I guess he was looking at the car
He had sunglasses on, Jesus Christ
Is this guy a fucking robot? Why is he looking at me?
He's got a minivan, and you just stare, I'm in a SUV
I guess if you have a minivan, you fucking...
You take your sunglasses off to look at an SUV
Right?
The minivan is sort of the ball-less SUV
And the SUV is sort of the one ball, like, I don't know, full-size truck
I don't know how it works
I'm not a redneck, oh fuck, the handmaid's tail
On Hulu, is anybody watching that?
I came home the other day and my mother-in-law, she always, she watches all these shows that I would never see
She started to watch one about, it was about this girl who committed suicide and left like a tape
And she was watching that one there, it's like, little house in the prairie meets like an S&M video
It was really weird, I don't know what was going on, like, they were like these nuns and they were trying to escape this thing
And one of them makes it on the subway and the other one doesn't
And the next thing you know, they got her tied down and they're beating her feet
How do you get that job?
The official, like, feet-beater
I could see, like, back in the day, you know what I mean, back in the, well, maybe this was back
No, this seems to be like in the future
Do you realize that there's people out there that they're born and at some point when they try to figure out, like, what am I good at?
Like, the answer to that ends up being torturing other human beings
How fucked up is that?
You know what I mean, just like...
It's kind of like being like a comedian, either funny or you can't teach somebody to be funny
And then there's like, like, torturing somebody, you just can't teach somebody
To be able to do that and just, like, block it out as somebody's fucking screaming
It's like you're sitting there screaming and crying
Like, I just, just, just whacking the shit out of her feet
Always come on, always ask my mom, like, Jesus, Christ, what the hell are you watching? She always laughs
She's like, I don't know, I just put this on
Alright, so here we are, Jesus Christ, you know, I gotta give it up to the graffiti artists
Like, they've really taken it to another level
You know?
And certain tattoos I've noticed
You know, there's like, the high-level tattoo artists are amazing
But the problem is, is most people that get tattoos don't have a lot of money
So like, you know what's the worst is when you see somebody go into a tattoo parlor
And they're looking at shit on the wall
And it's just like, dude, that's gonna be on your body for life
You don't even have like a, you don't have an idea, you don't have a theme
Let's see, I don't know
Kind of like a butterfly with like a bee
And that's what's gonna end up happening
If you look on a wall, it's either gonna be a skull
What's that star tattoo that everybody has, that red and fucking black one?
I know like three comedians that have them
A couple of boy band guys have them
I don't know what it is, maybe it's an anime thing, I have no idea
That's my new word, anime, because I'm watching that fucking one punch man
Anyways, let's get back to the Celtics, holy fucking shit
You realize we have lost, I think we've lost by like a total of like north of 80 points
In the first two games, definitely north of 70
Like if you took all the, if you just had the Cavaliers win by one in game one and then one in game two
And you just gave them all those other points, like they would not, they could have me in there
Well who's kidding, no, me, you could have me in there for about a quarter and a half
It's all tied up, 78, 78
Jesus Christ, I mean this is like one, this is the worst beating a Celtic team has ever taken in my life in the playoffs
The other closest, most humiliating one to this was, I don't know, a lot of people don't remember this
During the Larry Bird era, and it was the last year of Bill Fitch, he had kind of lost the team
I guess they blame the coach, I don't know how
But we got swept by the Milwaukee Bucks
And I remember we lost game one, and we lost game two, and then we lost game three
And I just kept thinking like they're gonna turn it on, they're gonna turn it on, and then they lost game four
And that team had Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale
I don't think we had Dennis Johnson at that point, and I'm trying to remember who was on the Bucks
Was Sydney Montcreef, I don't know who else
Dude, I'm so psyched that I already got 40 minutes of this fucking podcast time, because I have no goddamn time
Like I was supposed to be at this thing that I'm doing, I was supposed to be there 25 minutes ago
It's 5.55, it's supposed to start at 6.30, so there is some PA right now freaking the fuck out
And there's nothing I can do about it, I'll look at this, I'm on Houston Street
Another fire engine, this is just like the fire chief, he's got like a pickup truck
Ah, they got a fire engine there, by the way dude, do you see that fucking lunatic?
Which is plowed into the, all those people in Times Square, what the fuck is wrong with people?
Jesus, I didn't want to like talk about it, give anybody fucking ideas, let's get off that subject
Oh, the Adidas store, I love Adidas, I've always been an Adidas guy, I don't mind Nike, you know
I like it, I always liked Adidas better
You know why, because no one knew, like everyone knew Adidas before Nike came along, it's Nike, Nike, I don't know what it is
Ah, wow, look at this, this is down near the old fucking, my old subway stop
When I used to live on the Upper East Side, I used to come down and go to the Comedy Cellar and the Boston Comedy Club
What the fuck, Astor Place, that's where I used to get off
And that's when I started looking up all the names of these people, like who the, what is Astor Place?
And I found out about the Astor family, they just all, just a bunch of fucking slumlords
All the statues, I just started looking them up, learned about the Triangle Shirt Waste Fire
People jumping to their fucking deaths, because somebody locked the door to the, look that one up, Triangle Shirt Waste Fire
I actually read a book on it, and it was just, I don't know why I did, it was the most uncomfortable book since I read the book The Perfect Storm
And, um, if you don't want to buy the book, just fucking open it up, and just, there's a chapter
Maybe like a three page thing, maybe, where the guy describes what happens when you drown
And it's just like, I don't know, your fucking blood goes cold, man, it's fucking freaky as hell
Do you know whenever they find those guys in the caves, they always have this goofy smile on their face, like those divers
Who decide to fucking swim into a goddamn cave
Then what I love, they're dumb enough to do that, and then some poor bastard has to go in there
Has to go in there and try to fucking find them, why don't they just leave them down there?
What the fuck, I don't understand, you know what I mean, just fucking leave them down there
Why do you get to spend all that money to go get a swam into a cave?
He went into a cave underwater, like what the fuck are we supposed to do?
And that's somebody's goddamn job, they gotta go down and fish, you going down there, no one you're gonna see a dead body
When they find them, I guess they always have this goofy smile on their face, cause the last thing is your body releases
I don't, all this dopamine or some shit, I sound like Joe Rogan right now, except I don't know what I'm talking about
Dopamine and one of those drugs that those fucking ravers take releases that shit
And they feel this level of euphoria, like the end of your life level of euphoria
And then the next day they're just eating like a bowl of apple jacks and they're just burst out in tears
Cause it's so fucking depressing, cause they fucked up, they already know what it feels like to die
Which evidently, after you go through the horror underwater
I guess it's a nice experience
You're like, hey man, that wasn't that bad
Let's try to take some out of my fucking mind, I know it
Where we got 44 minutes, 44 fucking minutes
Oh Jesus, I used to go down here and I used to do hot 97
You know, back in the day when everything was fucking crazy
Like three times a year rappers would seem to have like a gun battle in the fucking lobby
And I would go down there whenever I was doing, whenever I was doing carolines
You know, and I used to headline carolines on like a Tuesday night and they would, Louis Ferranda
He used to have to pull the fucking curtain, you know
So it wouldn't look bad
And I was doing talents rooms
And so I was doing the white and the black rooms
So I used to come down here and I used to try to get some people that maybe saw me open for talent
Or Drew Frazier, or fucking Gerald Kelly, the New York Kings
Rob Stapleton, all of them, I used to do their rooms
One of the most fun times in my career that I had was doing that stuff
Nobody knew who the fuck I was, I had to go on stage
You know, expect now people come out, they know who I am, so then it's like
I have to work to lose them
But back then I actually had to fucking earn it and, you know, believe me
I look back on those days fondly, but I don't miss not selling tickets
So whatever I come back here, I always think about all of those gigs
Capone used to have this room, Nels, on 14th Street
It was the greatest fucking bar, but it was such a hard room for me
That one in La Barbat, talent had that one
And that one, that fucking room, every time I went there, it was like, I bombed
Next time I killed, I bombed, I killed, and I could never figure that room out
It was like an after-work party
And I just would go up there white as hell, and it just, either they, you know
You had basically in the black rooms, you have your opening joke, and then that's it
Black people have, they're very much like Sicilians, where it's like, you're dead to them
You fuck up once, that's it, you're dead to me, over
This relationship is done, and there's no repairing it
Which is why it's amazing, what's her face, the Fuji chick there
Started to get booed on the Apollo, and then fucking turned it around
The hell's her goddamn name
You know, amazing voice, cute as hell, four hours late to her shows
Lauren Hill, Lauren Hill
Whenever I hear the Fuji music, that reminds me when I first moved down here
That and Wu Tang Clan, 36 chambers
And what else was I listening to back then?
I don't know, okay, now if this guy's driving like a fucking maniac, I think he's sick of my podcast here
How far away are we?
Another five minutes, sir
You know they're freaking out, man
Oh, I'm sure
We're going to a hotel first, right?
Yeah, I look like I just came from Saskatchewan
They're gonna take pictures, so I can't be looking like that
I gotta look like, at least bathed today
Oh dude, I had a fucking 6.30 AM flight today
Nothing puts me in a goddamn mood
My show didn't get done till 12, and of course I had to go out and have a couple of pops to celebrate the end of the tour
I want to thank everybody, seriously, who came out in Winnipeg
Everybody that came out in...
Saskatoon, sorry about the popping on the peas here
And everybody that came out, Regina, I had a great time
I'm definitely, those three cities are now part of my tours
Now I feel I can go right across the whole southern part
So I was telling people, the next thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do Alaska
Over the yellow knife and some other ones
Jesus Christ, fucking 9 foot lady with no clothes on
You see that?
She had her ass hanging out of the bottom of her fucking dress
Looks like a sand trap, so many fucking divots in it
Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry
Not to damn many prizes, are we stopping to get gas?
No, we're trying to make a left
This car is broken
Yeah, let's go, let's go
We get behind the one polite cab driver in the fucking city here
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right
Why are these people wearing scars? It's not even cold out
Absolutely not
Absolutely not, exactly
You mean a left? We're going left here
That idiot
That idiot, yeah
I like you, you're like me, you just shit on everybody you're driving
They're morons, right? They don't even
Especially on Sunday, you got, it's like Jurassic Park
All the dinosaur comes out, you know what I'm telling you
Forgive me
Forgive me for what? I love what you're saying, trash more of them, making more entertaining
It makes me feel more normal, because that's all I do
Don't you think part of it is because we feel like, you know, they don't know what we're doing
We're too wrapped up in ourselves, or do you think they're morons?
When you're right, and under 99 people is wrong, they make you weird, right?
There you go, yeah, that makes you right, I love it
Oh, look at that, Bill's bar and burger
Oh, and there's some flyer fan in there with a Claude Giroux, Claude Giroux, whatever you say his fucking name
Oh, okay, right here, alright dude, I'm gonna jump out and I'm gonna
I'll be around
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna, I'll be, I'll be back down and like
I'll be circling, because I don't think there's a place for me
You have to circle?
I think you got my phone number, right? I just, I think I texted you
Did you text me?
Yeah, call me now, so then I got it
Okay, cool
Alright, you know what, I'm gonna call these people, and I'll let them know that I'm coming over
I don't know, what the fuck do I have to be an hour early for a goddamn podcast?
Am I gonna warm up my voice?
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck shit, right?
So your phone ringing?
It's my phone ringing
Is that you?
No, that's not me, somebody's saying hello, unless we're in that fucking movie with the guy from Beretta
You ever see that movie?
Which part is it?
The guy who killed somebody, or maybe killed somebody, got out of jail, he played Beretta
Remember they called him?
The guy who did like Twin Peaks or something
Twin Peaks, oh
Twin Peaks, oh
Come on, you know that Mulholland drive
What's the, what's the, remember that guy from Beretta?
Don't go to bed with the press on your head
No
Don't do it
Hey, why don't you just give me your phone and I'll do it
I'll call you, I'm not 3-1-0
Don't say my number here, no, it's not 3-1-0, come here
Just give me the goddamn
It's quicker
Why do you have one glove on?
No, I'm driving
Unless you're driving glove?
I'm driving most of it
Oh, I'm right with Michael Jackson, I love it
Yeah, too bad, you got framed
You got framed, you know something I actually think he did too
You know what, yeah, you can't fucking molest a bunch of white kids
Even if you became white
Yeah, and get off on it twice
No, no
But California couldn't, they couldn't nail down OJ, right?
No, they just want to
Burn his reputation, that's all
They just want him to do it
Alright, having said that, would you leave, would you, would you
If you had a kid, I don't know if you have kids
You wouldn't leave him with Michael though, right?
Now his older is okay
Now they're older because they could fight him off
So you know what, I'm going to park on that side
So you can feel free to take all your time, I'll be right here
He just pull up to your house
Right, stomping his foot and then your fucking kid's going to go up
Alright, I got a hip pause on this
I'll do the last 8 minutes later
Do I need the what?
Oh yeah, that's where my show clothes are in
Alright, let me help you out
Yeah, there's like regular clothes and then there's headlining clothes
I got to get on my headlining
I got it
Okay, alright
Okay, I'll talk to you guys in a minute
Alright, I'm back
I'm back
Oh, freckled fucko is back here
I did all my press that I had to do
I want to thank everybody over at Vulture Fest
Everybody treated me great
I had a fun time going back and forth
One of the women over there was giving me shit
About how bad the Celtics were playing
And you know, and I was just agreeing with her
And then she just kept trying to do a dig on the Celtics
And I go, you know, I really don't appreciate your little passive aggressive comments on the Celtics
I'm admitting that you're kicking her ass
And then she laughed going, ah, you caught that
So I go, you know, what part of Ohio are you from?
I mean, she goes, oh, I'm not from Ohio?
I go, wait a minute, you know, from Ohio, how are you a Cavaliers fan?
She goes, I'm a LeBron fan
And I'm like, get the fuck out of here
She goes, yeah, no, I was a fan of his when he went down to Miami
And I'm a fan now that he's gone back to Cleveland
It's just like, you know, I found out she's from Washington, DC
I'm like, you're a fucking Wizards fan
She goes, ew, I don't want to do that
It's just, you know what, I actually respect it on some level
I think that she's a, you know, if, I guess you, if they're all going to be free agents and piling on with each other
Then you might as well be like a free agent fan
Then it doesn't fucking matter, right?
I don't know, I don't know what, I'm just joking around
We had a great time giving each other shit
And then I got to sit down, they, it was pretty cool
They actually showed the first episode of season two
And from what I heard, people really liked it
I, of course, was not in the room
I didn't want to deal with that
And, um, and then we went and we did a, uh, I went in
I did the interview in front of the crowd that just saw it
And, uh, handed out some free t-shirts
We had these, these condoms made up
Ephesus family condoms and stuff, handed them out
Uh, people like those took some pictures afterwards
It was a great interview, you know, just great questions and that type of thing
It was a lot of fun and, uh, knocked it out
So, oh, Billy boy is going to be hitting the fucking hotel by here soon
How much time I got left here?
Oh, I got to knock out another fucking five minutes
I might do it tomorrow morning
Maybe I'll do that, you know, because it doesn't make a difference
Because you guys, I got to watch the Celtics, man
How much are they down by?
All right, watch
I don't know how to turn on the TV anymore
Watch now, yes, that's what I want to do
I want to watch now
I want to watch now
You want to watch? No, I want to watch TV
Setting the world on fire
How much are we down by?
Kelly Olenek for the love of God
Pretend it's fourth quarter game seven
Whatever the fuck it is you have to do
All right, come on
All right, this is football
You guys really going to listen to me channel surf
This shit
I'm going to watch the goddamn game
Do it live, commentate it live
I'm not doing that
Someone just said they're watching these people getting the fucking shit kicked out of them
Isaiah's out
I mean, we could potentially
We could lose by 40
Oh my god
All of a sudden, just having the number one draft pick just seems a lot different
I knew all these fucking people going like
I'll tell you right now, the Celtics are only a player away
I was at least smart enough to say it
We're more like a player and a half away
Meaning we needed two players
Remember a few months ago
What they were trying to suggest
If we got Carmelo Anthony
Like we'd have a legitimate shot
To take out fucking
I almost said the LeBron James
The Cavaliers, but that's really what it is
I don't think we do listen
I'm going to watch this game
This podcast is going to be like I owe you three minutes
I really don't because I've done a bunch that are over an hour
But I got to upload this shit
I got an early flight because I got to go out
And get back to my wife and daughter
That's it, thank you guys for listening
And please tell everybody on May 30th that F is for family
Is coming out
And I'm going to be doing a bunch of press
So I apologize if you see my stupid face a little bit too much out there
I have to do it
I got to put on the monkey hat
The little fucking
You know, do my little fucking dance
And over the next couple of weeks
But, you know, I'm going to be trying to
I don't know, I'll be trying to let you guys know
Where I'm going to be at if you give a shit
Alright, that's it, go fuck yourselves
And I'll check in on you
On Thursday
Yeah, top
