Starting point is 00:00:33 It's Bill Byrd. It's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, September 18, 2023. What's going on? How are we? Yeah. How's it going? 2023 what's going on how yeah How's it going did you know why we went oh yeah my frustration Frustration to watch my Patriot yesterday god damn it Frustration these fucking referees god damn. How the fucking your fucking say without a doubt, without a doubt that wasn't a first down,
Starting point is 00:01:11 you couldn't even see the fucking ball. And then what do they do? They go, then the fucking, the goddamn mouth of the fucking, it's like that person that comes out for the president when the president doesn't want to talk, the press secretary comes out there. What are you talking about that right now? No, it's exactly how we said it was going to be despite your questions. I'm not answering that, right? They got that fucking jerk off, comes on, he goes, well, you know, with the cameras like
Starting point is 00:01:41 right online, with the second, it wasn't right online with the play. It was a little bit fucking off. He didn't lay in there a hash mark. How in the fuck? How in the fuck can you call that back? I'm not even saying that like, it wasn't the right call. I'm not even saying that,
Starting point is 00:02:02 but I'm like, there's not enough fucking information there. I don't know whether it was or whether it wasn't to write call. I'm not even saying that, but I'm like, there's not enough fucking information there. I don't know whether it was or whether it wasn't. I couldn't tell. And on the field, you said it was the first down. Somehow, they were able to fucking tell the fuck out of here. I was two and a half with my bets and I was going, all right, maybe I'll go three one. Who knows? I might go four and a half and I fucking watch in the Jets game to go down 10 and nothing, Jets with my lock of the week. That is 10 to seven. And then they have in this great fucking goal line stand
Starting point is 00:02:37 or whatever, you know, maybe hold them to a field goal and they call too brutal roughing the passer calls that even Tony Romo, who still sleeps in Dallas Cowboy pajamas goes, yeah, those were a couple of 50, 50 calls. Well, all right, then why didn't one of them go the Jets way? They both go against the fucking Jets, they go down two scores, and then their fucking quarterback,
Starting point is 00:03:04 he's gotta play catch up, and then that was just the end of the fucking game So sorry everybody with my lock of the week, you know God dammit Whenever I want to other games. I did give you the cults over the Texans and I am I'm two and two both weeks So forward for I'm two and two both weeks. So four and four. I'll tell you what was really fucked up, man. How about Sean McVeigh going for that random feel goal
Starting point is 00:03:32 at the end of the game that affected the spread? They're down 30 to 20 with like four seconds left. All right, I don't know what the fucking spread was, but I do know what it affected the spread. It's slung it from the rams, not covering to them covering. All right, and here's the thing they'll hide behind. At the end of the year, you know, if it comes down to a tie breaker of points scored, that three points will fucking add up. That's what they'll say.
Starting point is 00:04:04 They'll say some dumb shit like that, right? And you know what I say to that people? There is a reason why the entire time I was growing up and like 70 years before I was growing up that players were not allowed to gamble on sports Right because the fucking temptation to gamble on sports. Right? Because the fucking temptation to affect the lines would corrupt the game
Starting point is 00:04:31 and if they corrupted the game, everyone would be like, fuck this, this game's bullshit and they would stop watching. That's back when they actually thought we had something better to do. Now, they've completely gotten in bed with them. The owners too.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And I was supposed to sit there and think that only the players who now a couple of them already gotten suspended for gambling on games, only the players are are susceptible, susceptible to being corrupted by the temptations of gambling. But what the owners have so much fucking money, huh? They don't have some side piece that trying to keep fucking happy and all of a sudden they tell them,
Starting point is 00:05:13 John just kicked the, why the fuck did he kick a field goal there? They always got that built in excuse and I know what you guys are thinking, oh, Bill, there you go with the conspiracy theories and you conspiracy theories are dumb. Are you one of those people that thinks conspiracy theories are dumb that everyone who thinks that
Starting point is 00:05:30 is just a paranoid lunatic with the fucking tin foil hat and all that, just out of curiosity, how many more things have to be declassified? How many more things does the CIA then admit to doing? This is what was really going on 30 years earlier, but now that everybody's fucking dead here you go I got one to you guys to look up you want to see something fucking wild that that we were um involved in look at I don't know if I brought this up to the other podcast the 1973 Chilean coup d'état
Starting point is 00:06:03 All right. And you know us, America, right? Bring a shippur, you're down-trodden and all of that, and we're all about the fucking, you know, freedom. That's why we're over in Iraq, everybody. We're trying to free those people. It's an incredibly difficult job that's taken over 20 years, but that's, you know, we kind of said it was this,
Starting point is 00:06:24 then we said it was that, and now we're saying it's this, like what, what, you know, eventually they'll say the real reason why we're over there, right? So back in like 2000, and this kind of like no news coverage, the CIA admitted that 1973, they kidnapped the head of the military down there because that guy was going to support the democratically elected leader that the Chilean people had elected who was a socialist or a communist and we didn't like them. So we kidnapped, but they made the decision. That was the government that they wanted.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And we went in there, kidnapped their their fucking guy, and then supported this absolutely brutal fucking dictator who went in there and fucking killed like 5,000 fucking people. And it happened on September 11th, 1973. They call it their 9-11. All right, so I don't know what to tell you. I say the NBA's fixed, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Everybody's fucking laughing at me, saying to that, next thing you know, you got to mobbed up fucking referee and what do they do? They act like it's just him.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Like he was shaving points and nobody on his officiating crew had any fucking understanding that it was happening. The amount of former NBA players that are coming out talking about the script and saying shit like that and everybody just go, oh, he's a bomb. He's out of the league and the da da da da da. Although those bots or the fucking NBA write shit like that, I'm telling you. There's a reason why all of them are, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:57 they're called entertainment leagues. They're specifically done for done like that because for some reason, if they fix a game the government gets involved which is fucking hilarious like they're not corrupt. The government gets involved and uses them as like this example in this distraction that they're actually fucking you know paying attention to what the fuck is going on. I know this is fucking dark right now but what the what the fuck is he going for that field goal? Is it really that fucking out right?
Starting point is 00:08:31 The amount of decisions that have been made in your lifetime, where there's the right thing and then there's the money and that people always choose the fucking money. Why would you think that this would be any different? Why wouldn't you think that at the end of the game there was more money riding on fucking the 49ers than there was on the Rams and if they make that feel goal Vegas wins right and then they give the fucking NFL a little fucking kickback. Let me guess, that's fucking outrageous.
Starting point is 00:09:07 That's outrageous. Even though you know that they knew about CTE and the effects of playing NFL football for like 50 fucking years and didn't do anything about it. And then when there was a class action suit, they settled out a court with every former player and it came down to about 750 bucks per player. You know that. But they ought to, they wouldn't do this. They wouldn't do this. All right, we did that shit down in Chile in 73 and we wouldn't do that now. That was a long time ago. Ah, you're a fucking conspiracy theorist. Get the fuck out of here. Anyway, I also think it's convenient every football game. I'm just gonna go conspiracy theory today.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Every football game, the fucking camera is never lined up with the goal line. There's another way to give them wiggle room to fix a fucking game. Oh, Jesus. I'm going down a rabbit hole. wiggle room to fix a fucking game. Oh, Jesus. I'm going down a rabbit hole. I'll tell you another fucking thing. I got you another one. I'm fucking, I'm wagging my finger at you. Did you guys watch Colorado versus Colorado State?
Starting point is 00:10:17 You know? And somebody explained to me once again, that soft zone cover two that Colorado state goes into. Okay, first of all, Colorado state should have won that game like 10 different times. Just, they took so many stupid penalties. I don't know what they were fucking terrible management, clock management, right? They're still up by fucking, they're up by eight
Starting point is 00:10:50 with a minute something left. Their punter does his job, coffin corner, goes out of bounds on like the two and a half yard line with a minute 40 something left. And I'm watching the game and I'm like, Colorado is gonna go right down the field and is gonna get four shots at the end zone because that's how every football game ends now. Right down the fucking field. And guess what happened everybody? They went right down the
Starting point is 00:11:21 fucking field because Colorado state wanted to make sure that they didn't get burned deep they didn't get burned deep the whole fucking game So you give them chunks of yardage 20 25 fucking 30 yards every fucking play Write down the field Four opportunities They score a touchdown. They make the two point conversion, and then they go into overtime and Colorado fucking wins. Somebody explained to me, convinced me that whatever that defense that they go into at the end of the fucking game is not a marketing tool. I'm not saying that happens like every fucking
Starting point is 00:12:08 time. I mean, I always say it happens every time. I know it doesn't happen every time, but that defense when it comes to money for the NCAA and the NFL. You put that defense in. Okay. The chances of having a heart attack ending to the game, which means no fucking sports meet head like me is going to shut off the game. All right. Dude, when I was a kid, somebody fucking put you in the corner like that with a minute something left. You were fucked. You needed a fucking miracle to win the game. I'd say now it's like 50-50 that they're not going to go down the whole fucking field. So back in the day you'd shut the game off. You'd walk away from the TV and then advertisers started bitching going like, well why do we have to pay this much, this amount of money at the end of the game when, you know, the other teams up by fucking seven points, ten points, whatever
Starting point is 00:13:08 the game's over. And then all of a sudden, well, all of a sudden, the prevent defense, which fans for years have said, it prevents you from winning. That's the joke. And they still run it. And I watched once again Colorado state instead of covering them in plain defense the way they had been just made sure nobody got behind them. And then they went they went right down the fucking field. By the way, who doesn't
Starting point is 00:13:42 love D on Sanders, but like the level of hype around that fucking team? I mean, they had all they could handle to be Colorado State. Dianne was on 60 minutes last night. I know that has to do with the fact that he's one of the greatest football players of all time and that how he took a college that, I'm trying to think the last time,
Starting point is 00:14:05 I really remember them getting any national coverage was when, oh my God, I just forgot his name. They beat Michigan on the final play with Cordell Stewart, is a name, Cordell Stewart, the former stealer. That was the last time, and he's driven ticket prices up, like that guy just packs stadiums. And I'm happy for him, and I'm rooting for him, but like the level of fucking hype.
Starting point is 00:14:32 But if anybody can handle, you know what I mean? You're 2-0 in division one college football and you're already on 60 minutes. If anybody who can handle, like that level of fucking hype, it will be that guy. I saw this thing, man, he took his fucking sock off. Oh my God, he goes, oh my, my toes are swollen up like sausages, dude.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I don't even know what his, his foot like, look like he had stepped on a landmine. Like you couldn't even see his big fucking toe. First of all, the whole side of his, from the bunion down was like, was like the color of salmon. And the rest of his foot was, was Dion color. T.H.E.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Like his foot was part salmon. And his big toe disappeared underneath his other one. It's just like, all the shit that they can do, you know what I mean? They can give you big attempts, a fat or ass, they can cut your dick off and turn it into a vagina, but they can't fix that guy's foot. They can grow an ear in a Petri dish,
Starting point is 00:15:43 and they can't get deans. I felt so fucking, I saw that I was like, God damn, I don't want deans walking around on a foot like, can we get this guy a new foot? I mean, Charmic Vague can kick a fucking field goal. You're still gonna lose the game, but it affects the fucking spread and no one's gonna say shit. Everybody's gonna look the other way, you can't get this guy in, uh, fucking, I would do a stand-up benefit for Dion's foot. That's how fucking bad it was. Last time I saw a foot like that, believe it or not, was Stephen Tyler of Arasmith.
Starting point is 00:16:25 His feet are all fucked up. From dancing around on stage for 50 fucking years, it's not real man. What happens to your fucking body? By the way, is there anything fucking more ridiculous than all of these these stupid videos on ridiculous and all of these stupid videos on Instagram about all of these stretches and all of this shit. And they all use the exact same sound effect. They're like, hey, this is best stretch. Yeah, they fucking cross one leg over the other one and then they fucking twist their body and hit us.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Like the whole fucking back just cracked and then you get on the floor and like literally nothing happens. It's like what do you think? That sounds like Bugs Bunny, like sound effects. Anyway, this is just the ramlings of a man that went two and two who thought there was a possibility he was going to go four and all, but I will tell you this. I will tell you this that it's not a good look for the NFL that you are making money off of sports gambling and Sean McVay kicks a fucking field goal down by 10 points with four
Starting point is 00:17:41 seconds left just to fucking do it. Well, you never know, I don't think I've ever seen a fucking season end and it came down to point scored. When the fuck does that happen? Anyway, shout out to Tuah with his fucking little passive aggressive shade. He goes, you know, we never take, you know, the Patriots lightly, you know, coming in here, beating them five times in a row. You know, they're still build Bellachis. He slid that in there.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I was like, I didn't like beat his five times in a row. Good looking son of a bitch. He fucking threw that right in there, didn't he? Well, I'm only complaining about the old Patriot uniforms is I just wish they would wear the black cleats, go all the way back to Jim Plunkett days. But whenever they wear those old Pat Patriot fucking uniforms, I always start thinking about like,
Starting point is 00:18:41 like every number, number I see, and it's amazing. How I can just recall those things. These are the names I was saying, Horus, Ivory, Don Calhoun, Tim Fox, all of these numbers that I was seeing. Somebody's wearing Steve Grogens number, which I cannot fucking believe. The amount of hits that that guy fucking took. Oh, which by the way, I told you, I was over in Europe and they're banning that turf.
Starting point is 00:19:11 They're saying that it causes some sort of cancer because those pieces of tire, there's lead in them. You know, I wonder how long it's gonna take the NFL to talk about that. Took him a long time with the CTE. Oh, look at me. I'm gonna get like the fucking NFL CIA after me this week. Anyway, I got COVID.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I don't know if I got it on the flight back, but this is the second time I had it. I had it in January of last year, and then everybody around me kept getting it, and I just wouldn't get it, and then I finally got it. And both times, it just felt like a cold. So I'm really happy that I never got that COVID-19 shit. Like, I have a relative of mine, never got their census smell back, and I got another body of mine that like, you know, he goes every once in a while, I'm like, short, I have shortness of breath.
Starting point is 00:20:09 So I am relieved that this thing has continued to mutate to now just being this. And the two things that I love most, I love with how the left is acting like when they were cancelling people, that they weren't taking out innocent people and it wasn't like any sort of like power grab after a while. They didn't completely abuse their level of power and be actually become fascist on one level. I love seeing that with the left and I love watching
Starting point is 00:20:39 the right now acting like they were right when it came to the pandemic, when they did absolutely nothing to try and prevent catching it and spreading it and acting like that behavior didn't kill people. Because COVID-19 killed people and they're gonna walk away from all that and they're like, see, it didn't matter. It didn't matter what are you fucking, you, we are all not in focus. It's like now you were selfish cunts, which was funny to me because all of their guns,
Starting point is 00:21:06 guts, and glory and support the troops, then it was like, hey, can you put on a mask? They're like, I can't breathe! Oh! You know, the videos out there, you guys were fucking spike in gallons of milk in 7-Eleven. I don't want to wear a mask.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I mean, it was literally like, you ever see like a toddler when a mom's trying to, come on, you got to wear a hat, it's cold outside. They don't want to do it. They throw like a fucking temperate temper. I will never understand that. Do you think the Illuminati wants to dig their own ditches? They fucking want us to live.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Anyway, so I think today is the day I stop being contagious, but anyway, what are you gonna do? I mean, it was fucking worth it. I mean, I guess you run around all over Europe. Something's gonna happen. So, whatever, everybody believes with the fuck they wanna believe, okay? I think the fucking NFL, I think all sports, not all sports, but I think a lot of them,
Starting point is 00:22:22 they are fucking massaged. All right, I believe in all of that shit. I believe that the owners of baseball knew everybody was on steroids. There's no fucking way that they didn't, they knew that they needed to do something because they had canceled the entire 1994 season. It's a marketing thing. We need people to get interested again. All we have is Cal Ripken Jr. beating Lou Garig.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Now that we've done that, how can we build on this? Let's just look the other way. And when we get caught, we'll just act like we didn't know it was fucking happening. I believe that. I think they juiced up the fucking ball. I fucking 100% believe all of that. I think the NBA was on their way to going out of business
Starting point is 00:23:01 and then accidentally, organically, two super teams came about in the Celtics and the Lakers and that has been their business model ever since. And, you know, I think the NBA is the most easily rigged game and I think it is. And to be honest with you, I don't know why I'm still watching. Oh, that's right, I have nothing better to do. From my bitch, Monin complaining, having said that,
Starting point is 00:23:30 I'm gonna watch again, I'm gonna watch again next week. You know? Have I even talked to you guys about doing the, the Acropolis, I didn't, I did not, I did the theater at the acropolis. I didn't, I did not. I did the theater at the acropolis. In Athens, Greece, the first standup show that they ever had there. Nate Craig went on first.
Starting point is 00:24:00 So he is the first standup comedian that they've had there, probably since the original ones. And it was, I gotta tell you, right before I was doing the gig, I was not excited about it whatsoever. I was all grumpy and I was like, you know, I was missing my kids and everything and I was like, what the fuck, why the fuck did I go over here for this long? What I should have done was just come over here
Starting point is 00:24:26 for four days and ended with the grease thing and come back. And then I was feeling guilty. Like I'm doing this thing. I don't feel excited. And then the second I got there, and I heard the crowd, I was like, oh my God. The fucking hair stood up in my arms.
Starting point is 00:24:41 And I can't, did I tell you guys this? I don't remember. I'll just do a quick version of it. It's the loudest venue I've ever been in. It's louder than Madison Square Garden, or the forum, trying to think about the loud venues that I've been in, the Chicago theater. It's just louder than them.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I can't explain it like Nate Craig was saying, he was, I think, because when you do a theater or an arena, there's an upper deck, and then there's a lower deck, and there's that space in between. And with this shit, it was just like a wall of people. It just went up. It was 4,000 people, 180 degrees,
Starting point is 00:25:25 from one ear to your other ear. And you just went out and it was just this wall of fucking sound. And it was effortless. Like I totally took my time. They understood every single joke. It was like my, yeah, I was on stage at one point. I was actually thinking about Google Maps and like where I'm standing right now. And it's like I'm literally, and
Starting point is 00:25:56 then what I do for a living, like how it all like fucking started, you know, in a place like this. Didn't I talk to you guys, but I can't remember. I will say, like, I was at the airport, and I kept calling them Aristotle. It's Aristotle, is that what it is? The philosopher, I read a bunch of his quotes, and the amount of shit that he said that as a human being, you kind of figure out, you know, if you're working on yourself, like, I think like the beginning of your life, you don't know what the fuck's going on.
Starting point is 00:26:45 You get two parents, hopefully you get some cool ones. If they're fucking crazy, that's just going to add to the what the fuck recipe. And then you're going to get into school. And then you're just kind of like, all right, I want to fit in, I want to do what everybody else is doing. And then you do that to you like 30 and then you're like, why aren't I happy? And then somewhere along the line, you settle into, you start figuring out what actually makes me happy.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Why am I doing this? And you kind of realize that you've been sent down this fucking road, you know, with, with, it's almost like a river, but it's a human beings and you just start following them. Like, why am I, I don't wanna do this and then you kind of figure out what makes you happy. This guy's fucking quotes, they were unreal. Like every single one of them, like you can still apply it today.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Like fucking deep thinkers over there and I was thinking like, I can't believe I just played. Did Aristotle ever have a gig at the fucking, I don't know. William Shakespeare, all of those people used to fucking bore the shit out of me when I was in school. I don't know, I'm sorry, I just had to go blow my nose. Anyway, it was an unbelievable gig, and there is no fucking way if I get an opportunity that
Starting point is 00:28:08 I won't do that again. It was absolutely fantastic. And I'm thinking the next time I go over there, I think I'm going to keep going east. I keep running into people from Bulgaria going. We got fans there, man. You gotta go there. It's like, all right, when the fuck am I ever gonna go to Bulgaria?
Starting point is 00:28:32 You know, and that's one of those places like you never hear on the news. Like they have a bad publicist or maybe they're just smart. They just stay out of shit. Which I gotta tell you, living in my country is very envy. I'm very envious of that. Like I like how Canada just stays out of shit. Unless we drag them into something
Starting point is 00:29:03 We like their older brother that likes to fight and they're going out like come on man, let's just go to the movies, let's just fucking hang out and then we're like fuck you saying to me and I think we got beef with somebody. Oh Bill, would you stop oversimplifying everything? I'm a simple man. I'm a simple man. Anyway, so the Pats are fucking O and two. The Buffalo Bills came back like you knew they would.
Starting point is 00:29:38 They're one and one. Dolphins are 2 and O and the Jets are one and one. are 2 and 0 and the jets are 1 and 1. So, that's the division I'm watching. Am I gonna fucking sneeze or what? I feel like I've been having to sneeze here. Is it what I stare at the light now? Ah, whoo! There we go.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Anyway, let's do the fucking reads here for this week. Oh, you know what? Before I do that, you know, I don't like getting in the middle of the shit with like other performers. But I also have to stick up for writers. There's a certain performer that's going back to his show who said something that I don't even understand why you would even say that writers are not owed a living. And he was painting writers out like, like this sitting around collecting welfare, like this writers out there that don't actually write on a show and when they're in that situation, they still want to get paid. That's not the issue whatsoever. And he was also panning it as though the cameraman on his show weren't making any money
Starting point is 00:31:00 because of the selfishness of the writers, you know, take putting it all on the fucking writers, like they're being selfish. It's they're not the ones that are being greedy. I just, I cannot fucking believe. I just cannot believe statements like that. And then also outside of this business, watching people saying who cares, who gives a fuck, it might be robots or whatever,
Starting point is 00:31:28 bots or whatever they call them. But like, I can tell you this, like I'm rooting for the auto workers union, the same way I'm rooting for the WGA, I'm rooting for all unions right now because we are in a new robber barren error with these fucking assholes, the amount of money that to take. And I work for fucking corporations that like, you know, entities that book my stand-up
Starting point is 00:31:56 shows that on paper recorded a loss and didn't pay any taxes. And meanwhile, my point person in that corporation is buying their second mansion in LA. It's just, I don't feel like anybody is watching these people whatsoever. The level of greed that is going on, those fucking bonuses that they're allowed to give themselves at the end of the fucking, yeah, did you ever bonus?
Starting point is 00:32:20 You know, and then, but it has to go by the board and the board is all of them, and they all approve it the same way Like the senators and House of Representatives. They all get to fucking decide whether or not they can be prosecuted for insider trading They both make six figures a fucking year yet. Most of them are worth $20 million. I mean, it's just completely out of control so those were some really just ignorant, fucking, just really ignorant, fucking statements.
Starting point is 00:32:55 And I feel like, you know, writers are literally the skeletal system of this whole fucking business. And, you know, any great movie you've ever seen, any amazing thing that you've ever watched if someone didn't write the fucking thing. You know what you have? Even the fucking real housewives.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Even that shit. Well, just reality TV, let's start shooting it. They're like, this is a fucking mess. We have 9,000 hours of footage. We need somebody to come here and mold this thing. It's called a writer. And the fact that they just, they're just not even, all they're asking for is a fucking, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:37 I don't think what they're asking for is ridiculous. It's just these fucking cunts, they literally want to just break the union. They're like, we're not going to negotiate or just pretend to negotiate until these writers start losing their apartments and their houses. Like, that's what they're going for. I got to be honest with you, man. Like, I think, you know, I look at this, where my business is at right now and just the level of fucking greed and what they've gone back to, like these streaming services, like back before, you know, all of these actors, these child actors and everything had to fight all of these fights to get residuals.
Starting point is 00:34:20 You know, they would do a show and back in the day, the second the show was over, they would never get paid again. And these people that owned the shows would get paid forever. Then these actors would be typecast and then, you know, they couldn't get work. And it was like, they kept making money off of their performances. Why shouldn't they? And they had, they fought for all of this. And then these streaming services came around.
Starting point is 00:34:42 And I think our union fucked up. We didn't hold them to that. And they went around and they went around. They went around it and it's like you do a show now for a streaming service and it's like you basically have the same deal that some child star had in the 1950s where it's like all right you're going to make this you're going to get paid once and that's it and that is going to continue to show. And we're gonna on our network
Starting point is 00:35:06 and we're gonna continue to make money. But you're not, is the deal that most people have. And I don't know, I think that they wanna do that. And then I also think that fucking AI shift. Did you see how the NFL had like fucking four AI robots? Was that real? They just stuck them into the crowd. So people will get used to them. And it is a thing I the crowd so people will get used to them.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And it is a thing I guarantee you, they will get used to them. The second they find out they can fuck them, that's going to be over. That's going to be fucking wild. All right, when you're going through the ups and downs of a relationship and you can go out and buy a Kate Manor woman here, all right? I'm not being a sexist pick here. Even though I am one. Manor woman, you can go out and get a fucking replacement. That's gonna be like a dog that's always gonna be happy when you fucking come home. It's gonna do whatever the fuck you want. Even more so than a dog. Even a dog. Hey, what are you doing? Yeah, you know, get that out of your mouth, you know, you know, you know, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:02 you know, you know what you have to deal with that. Oh my God. And it's gonna be fucking, you can get it younger and better looking, totally superficial. You know, and then you know what's gonna happen as these fucking people are gonna fall in love with these things. And at first, human beings are to make fun of the humans. And then after a while, the other people are going to consider themselves some sort of a minority,
Starting point is 00:36:32 and then they're going to start fucking complaining that their love with their robot should be recognized. All right. And then somewhere along the line, the robot is going to get rights. Okay. So they can have control again. So then a robot, they'll make the new ones. Like, you know, AI, the AI 14, it might want a divorce. you know, add some excitement into your human machine-fuckin' relationship. I mean, I don't know. I'm fine. I think there's a reason why I spend most of my day at my house now, and I just sit on the back porch, because I feel like the front porch is life or the front
Starting point is 00:37:25 one of the front of my house. I could look out there and I just look out and I don't understand what's going on. But if I just sit in the back and I look at the trees, yeah, it's nice and slow for all freckles. That's what it is. I mean the final fucking third of this journey, right? 55. and third of this journey right 55 yeah that's about right right final third of this shit from lucky and yeah you want it to slow down you just want to sit there have a cup of coffee read a newspaper talk just something oh my god if you want to hear like old people conversations I'm never going to get to the advertising this week um And by the way when I was talking about the the things that that person said even if you know who it is
Starting point is 00:38:14 I think it's really important for fellow performers to not be going at each other You know name calling and saying that I think it's really it's really disappointing Um and uninformed. Like, that's, you know, which I've been enough in my fucking life. So, I don't know, that's just my take on it. But, Asinil, there's a lot of writers right now, fucking struggling and to see a fellow entertainer or a couple of them cross the line like that, it's gotta be demoralizing.
Starting point is 00:38:48 So I'm just saying that as a performer, I need you guys. Just like everybody else, F is for family. I had a killer fucking right in my room. My fucking right in my room was fucking killer. The writing on the Mandalorian. Like all of this shit, where you guys fucking like send me emails and texts or whatever the fucking DMs.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Oh my God, you know, that fucking, you know, that scene of the Mandalorian when my character had PTSD and all, whatever the fucking, whatever the fucking, I can never say that right. Post-traumatic stress, PTSD, yeah. You think I came up with that shit?
Starting point is 00:39:31 You think I just impure of that? I didn't. They did. And they didn't just come up with that. That is hours and hours and months and months of fuckin' work and they came up with that. That is hours and hours and months and months of fucking work and they came up with that. And fleshed out my character. And because of that, I got to play that beautiful scene because of them.
Starting point is 00:40:01 And the amount of people that love that scene and related to it, you know, any movies you've seen me in and all of that, it's just like, you know, okay, there's some improv that goes on or whatever, but like, you know, you have to, it's easy to fucking improv when you have a script because you can go back to it. The same thing, doing stand up. I have an hour long act that I have,
Starting point is 00:40:22 and I'll fuck around and everything, but I can go back, you know, if it starts getting into the weeds, I can go back to that thing. So, you can't, there's no way to overvalue writers. You know, like I said, all right, I'm done with that shit. All right, where am I going here? What's I gonna just talk about? Oh, well, you know, why don't I do the fucking reads? I am required to do that at some point.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Oh, I think I was talking about the old conversation I was having. I don't wanna read this, because I don't wanna read other people's texts. But we were talking about, as a person's a couple years older than me. And it was just basically a conversation this person was saying,
Starting point is 00:41:10 like, have you noticed like nothing's kind of cool anymore? I mean, both laugh and go, like, maybe because we're old, we don't know what's cool. And I'm like, well, there's gotta be something that's cool. But like, I think the problem is now, if something is cool, like you have the ability to immediately film it and then share it with everybody,
Starting point is 00:41:31 and then everybody sees it. Like, you know, let's just go like basic here. Like the Crip Walk. All right, my whole, the whole time, I never, I had never seen that fucking thing until like Snoop and Dr. Dre hit one of them put it in a video. And I thought it was like the coolest shit I'd ever seen, right? But that was it. You know what I mean? Now, there's people like on Instagram or on YouTube and they will teach you how to crib walk.
Starting point is 00:42:08 So now there's like white people, my people are making videos of themselves in the suburbs doing that fucking dance and then people from where it comes from is saying like, hey, you better not do that, like they don't understand the whole, I don't know, hey, you better not do that, that like, they don't understand the whole, I don't know, logistics, I will say. That like if you go down there and you do that and you're not a Crip, you're gonna get fucked up.
Starting point is 00:42:36 But because they live out in the suburbs next to a TJ Maxx and a fucking cheesecake factory and it's just like, it's like that type of stuff. Like, back, you know, when I was coming up before all these phones and everything, because I definitely think, obviously, look, I can talk to you guys and joke around
Starting point is 00:42:53 and promote my show. So it's not all bad here. But like, you know, like scenes could like develop, and what made him cool is nobody knew what, you know. They were just sort of, I brought this up a while back when I was like reading about Beastie boys when they were coming up in New York and they were down and tried back
Starting point is 00:43:17 and they'd be all these, like that whole part of town, you know, when the business day would be over, would just shut down. And they would, but there would be these clubs that would pop up. And it'd be like walking through like, you know, would just shut down. And they would, but there would be these clubs that would pop up. And it'd be like walking through like, you know, escape from New York, there'd be like nobody there
Starting point is 00:43:30 and you'd come around the corner and all of a sudden there was just this little club. And like nobody knew about it. And all the music, the fashion, the art, and all of that could like incubate, you know, and develop into the scene and become this cool fucking thing before the corporation would come down and fucking mass market it. Like it did with everything. Like with every music scene, like from disco to metal to grunge, you know, I feel like somewhere around grunge, they
Starting point is 00:44:10 learned how to, like the marketing things was starting to get out of control. Like that was one of the last, like I feel like music scenes of my youth, I remember the Seattle scene. And then for half a second with Green Day, they all, like all the A and R guys were like, oh man, it's in San Francisco, Green Day. Let's go find some, now just signed bands from San Francisco, like that's kind of like what they would do. It all comes down to how like, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:38 I was wondering what, you know, Che Guevara, if he had lived, would have thought about how his face was mass marketed onto a T-shirt in America. I mean, just the fact that you would have his face on a T-shirt, I don't think you lined up with what he was talking about, which I don't really even know what he was talking about. I just know, I think he was against what the fuck we were doing. I don't know. But I do know when I was in New York,
Starting point is 00:45:07 when I first came down there and I kept seeing shirts like that, and I felt out of place, I was thinking I should get one of those shirts. Let me, uh, let me take you down cuz I'm going to Portland made on September 28th. All right Here's some gigs I got to tell you about that are almost sold out, but there are a few tickets left September 28th Portland made my old stopping grounds What the fuck was that the comedy connection I used to play up in Portland, mate. Oh my god, I remember that comedy club one time. The whole weekend it fucking stunk and then they finally figured out there was a dead rat right above the stage.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Oh, it stunk for fucking weeks. You go up there to do a goddamn guest spot. That's what it was. That wasn't a good, that was the old Portland comedy connection. No, I'm not trashing that comedy club. People, if you want to go see a show that doesn't have a dead rat above it, come to the cross insurance arena, Portland made on September 28th. On October 1st, Springfield, Massachusetts at the Mass Mutual Center. Wasn't I just there? I was literally just there. The fuck am I going to know them?

At Bryce Jordan Center, I feel like we're out of that time now. And we blamed college kids. And I think it was really uh, older generations.

Uh, November 7th, Norfolk, Virginia at Scope Arena, November 8th, Atlanta, Georgia, State Farm Arena, November 10th, New York City, at Madison Square Garden, November 17th, Las Vegas, Nevada, at Dolby Live.

Did I get rid of the document that had all of the shit that I needed to read? I think I did. Fucking moron. All right, well, what do I do now?

All right, I'm turning it around. The green shirt diet is back in effect, even though I haven't even able to go because

Starting point is 00:50:40 I didn't write these places down. I had this amazing food and do buy. Oh, God, it was fucking incredible. It was all that Kabab, Middle Eastern style food. It was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. And which by the way, I heard that they were thrilled with the show and say I can come back whenever I wanted. So that's fucking great. I'm gonna go back there at some point to see MotoGP or F and F1 race. When I was in Prague,
Starting point is 00:51:13 Bianca Cristavile took us to a place that in check means side piece. I swear to God, something like that. And all I had there was this shark-cood report and the meat and the cheese is the fucking... I got to tell you something. For a fat fuck country like my country and how much we love cheese. Oh do we love cheese? Our cheese here fucking sucks sucks This cheese I had just at that place. This was just like a bar people smoking cigarettes having glass of wine they brought this cheese out and Like my eyes almost rolled in the back of my head when I was eating it
Starting point is 00:51:59 It was like each one was better than the next the meat was so fresh and all of that You know our food over here is poison. It is what it is, but they paid off the right people in the government. They looked the other way. So what they do is they make sure major sporting events aren't fixed in stand-up comedians don't tell jokes the way they don't like them.
Starting point is 00:52:19 That's what they do. That's how they make up for that. And any candidate that can help you is immediately branded as a fringe candidate. Okay, there was that place and let me see here. Then you know, probably do buy with the two places I had time in Greece. And then we kind of like, they would just became one-nighters in Berlin, Stockholm, and Budapest. Like all I, you know what I found in those places that I do remember was places to get coffee. So when I write, when I give you those, let's see if I can find those places to go.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I get a scroll by all the American cities. Oakland, lowest the pie queen. There's something. Rhode Island, Warwick ice cream. It's going to give random shout-ups. Um, Tampa, the bad monkey bar. I don't even know what half of this shit means if they're even still around after COVID. Um, alright, here we go.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Let's, let's get in here. Okay. Oh, there's a place called parlor. That's right that we had breakfast at that was fantastic. This is in Chequilla. It's not the Czech Republic anymore. Chequilla Henri Espressobar, un-fucking believable, fucking coffee. The man is an artist Henry H.E.N.R.I. espresso bar And let's see Oh, I didn't get a chance to go there Berlin cats orange that's the last time with the slow-cooked pork beef or lamb stew When I was in Greece
Starting point is 00:54:32 to when I was in Greece, Moka, Mokkk, A, 100-year-old coffee joint. Oh my god, it was fucking unreal. And when I was in Budapest, for coffee, I went to my little Melbourne, or Melbourne, as they say in Australia, and get the piccolo latte. So there you go. That's what I did. I was mainly just doing coffee and trying to eat light when I was over there. Now with a fucker, with a healthy other reads here. All right. Die Miami cops. Oh, this was this was the great bad movie that I watched on the plane. Which by the way, the criterion channel has 70s car movies. This was the great bad movie that I watched on the plane, which by the way the Criterion channel has 70s car movies.
Starting point is 00:55:09 And I finally saw Steven Spielberg's first movie, Dual. And I thought when I was going to watch it, I was going to see because it was his first movie. I thought I was going to see like hints of the great director that he was going to become the legend that he is and this fucking movie right out He was one of these guys right out of the gate. He was great. It's an absolutely gorgeous shot movie If I ever had an opportunity to meet him I would ask him like how does the script work? How do you sell this movie? Because there was so little dialogue in it. And so much of it was a guy driving a car
Starting point is 00:55:50 getting menace by this big old 1955 truck. I actually looked up all the cars and trucks that were in it and said, gorgeous movie. And then I also saw this French movie traffic that was fucking hilarious. And at all of these really, really cool European cars of 1971 in France, it was fantastic. They also have Thunderbolt, Lightfoot.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Where's it, Crazy Harry and Something Mary? I saw that one a long time ago with Peter Fonda, any thounds of good town when you're bangin' brudd. It was that movie. You got to check that one. But check that out on the criterion channel. All right, Dime Ami Cups.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Okay, first of all, great show and Prague. Nate and Bianco also killed it. Yeah, they did. That was the dream team, man. They were just, they were fucking destroyed My wife from Detroit and I went on a day trip from my whole town, Munich Next to us that people from Slovenia Italy and Bosnia. No way People traveled from all over central Europe to you and everybody had a great time. Oh, that makes me feel great
Starting point is 00:57:02 you and everybody had a great time. Oh, that makes me feel great. If any of you guys were wondering whether the audience was maybe too quiet, they were just concentrating, trying not to miss a single joke. Yeah, we figured out that that's what it was. I thought you guys were great. Saying since English isn't their first language,
Starting point is 00:57:20 it was a wonderful experience for everyone. You were talking on your podcast about the Die Miami Cops movie on the airplane. That was a bad one out of a series of dozens of films by the same acting duo. Yeah, Bianca told me, she goes, yeah, those guys were legends over there. She said, believe it or not,
Starting point is 00:57:37 but the two main actors, Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill were our 80s and 70s European teenage action heroes. That's cool. I believe that their original movies were shot in Italian trying to be more serious. The German language version, however, were always dubbed in a more silly mode, so they became very appealing to young people. The same thing was also done with the British cop show, the persuaders, with Tony Curtis and Roger Moore, silly fisticuffs and loose lips in the German language version.
Starting point is 00:58:12 The title, Die Miami Cops, only means The Miami. Oh, The Miami Cops. Oh, it was written in German. Like, Das Boat, Die Miami Cops. I'm an idiot. I thought that they were killing Miami Cops. I'm an idiot. I thought they were killing Miami Cops. Oh! And it's pronounced D Miami Cops. It's the German plural article. Oh, so DASBOTE is because there was one D-I-E-D is plural because C cops is plural. I get it.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Look at that. Fucking learned something here. Anyway, hope this clears up the confusion about the dying or killing part that you were reading in the title. Go fuck yourself. Oh, absolutely it does. Thank you. All right, then the niff, the niff, fair titty bust. What is that? Then the nif-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f in Berlin, you saw was nefarity. I don't not say it, I'm so stupid, sorry. It was found in modern day, Amarna. Don't you mean Stolen? Like why is it in Germany?
Starting point is 00:59:39 She was an 18th dynasty royal and was running about Egypt in the 14th century BCE. Her story and family was kind of insane. I'm not going to try to keep saying this person's name. Nefarity's husband was one of the most mysterious kings in all of ancient Egypt history. Oh, is he in the closet? His name was Akhen Atten. Anyway, this guy turned Egypt upside down and got rid of all the gods and goddesses and introduced a single god called Atten. Oh, it was named after him. He then shut down all the temples dedicated to all the other gods and put all the priests out of work. What a dick!
Starting point is 01:00:31 After that, he got rid of all the gods and instilled the single God. He then moved from the capital Thaves or Tabis with a bunch of his followers and built a new capital city dedicated to the worship of Atten the city Armourna ran for about 12 years until that dude died the single god way of worship was hundreds And hundreds of years before Christianity. Oh Yeah, I mean there's no doubt like Japan, India, Egypt, there was all kinds and that's just the ones that I've been able to learn about were advanced cultures and have never been recognized in Western history. This single god was the Atten and it was the sun disk. The sun raised, it was depicted
Starting point is 01:01:28 with little hands at the end of the sun rays and was the world's first expression of monotheism. I guess that's just believing one God. We believe one God, the pharaoh, mighty maker of heaven and earth and sociopaths and all kinds of other horrible fucking people that he doesn't take any credit for. He just blames it on the devil. Atke Tete Tete wrote all sorts of beautiful hymns for his god. It was wild times. This guy was essentially a cult leader. Yeah, I wasn't immediately thinking Dick Cheney, just having that sort of the right amount of craziness,
Starting point is 01:02:09 lack of empathy and balls to just be like, I'm going to mold this fucking country the way I wanted to be. I just need the right front man. Where I was, he also introduced a new style of art which scholars call Armana period art art. It's incredible and that is what Niferatis bust is. It was sculpted by a man called Thatmos. I apologize to all Egyptian people and anybody who's into this art. I don't know how to say any of these names. I had had himself depicted unlike any of the pharaohs before him. He had a bunch of daughters with my favorite TT.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Oh, that was his chick. That was his queen. And they'd have themselves all depicted in daily scenes as a family. None of the Egyptian pharaohs had ever done that before. It was pretty wild stuff when you see the depictions. I'll leave some below. That is wild. It's almost like the first sitcom,
Starting point is 01:03:13 a reality show family. When Akat that had died, his successor, taught, I love how he got a quick little name, abandoned Omar enough, the new city, and moved everyone back to the old capital tems, temes, temes, tuth then got rid of this single god and brought back all the old gods. Ah, that guy was an asshole, dad. He's rebelling. I like tuth. He's going back to the old school way. Tuth was a boy at the time, so it would have been older advisors.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Oh, that made all of that happen. Oh, the plot thickens, so he didn't hate his dad. Maybe they whacked his dad. Akata's son was the famous king. Oh, King Tutt. King Tutt to Ken Hammon. King Tutt. But there's still unsure as to whether Nefarity was his mother.
Starting point is 01:04:07 That's all really interesting. Love what you do Bill and always looking forward to hearing you on Mondays and Fridays. Go mummify yourself. I will say what I thought was hilarious. I never really thought about it was, you know, they'd never been able to figure out how the Egyptians built the pyramids to the point that they were just going like, maybe it was aliens, you know? It's like, why can't you just say it was maybe the Egyptians
Starting point is 01:04:32 new shit that, you know, Europe didn't know yet? Why can't we just admit that maybe there was a culture more advanced than us that kind of goes against our whole like what we do here at the school, don't you see? We don't do that. Like our little fucking college pamphlet. You know, when they see the Roman Coliseum, they're like, oh, the aqueducts did aliens do this? They're like, no, the Romans did it. So, you know, I would say the Egyptians did it. That would be my guess. How were they able to do that back then? Because they were fucking more advanced. They figured something out that that white Europeans didn't. God forbid
Starting point is 01:05:15 they get credit. All right. Erily similar laugh. Dear Billy Redtitz, how they hell are? Yeah. A bit of fan for a while now and have been listening to the MMP for around six years. In those years, I've grown very accustomed to your laugh. To your laugh, both your normal laugh and that stupid wheeze that you do when you say something you find funny. Listen, every laugh I have is stupid because it's coming out of this dumb head. The other day I finally put two and two together when I realized that your wheeze sounds exactly like muttlies from the wacky races.
Starting point is 01:05:56 You mean the laugh Olympics? I'm sure you'll disagree with me. I wouldn't. I love that guy, but that's just what Dick Dasterd Lee's sidekick would want me to believe. Anyway, hope you, Nea, and the kids are doing well. Thanks and go fuck yourself. All right, what do we got here? A shit song. A shit song.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Hey Bill, I fucking hate take a walk on the wild side by the velvet underground. All right, this is one of these things. There's always so songs that everybody loves and you love them too, but then there's some that everybody loves and you don't understand why does everybody love them. I can see why you'd hate that one. I'd say, hey, babe, take a walk on the west and the color girls say, do, do, do, do, it doesn't even sound like he's trying. He would, that whole period, that velvet underground, Andy Warhol and all that, and they were sort
Starting point is 01:06:57 of like the original alt comics, I feel. Although I did listen to a velvet underground album and I was finally starting to get it because there's a lot of that stuff that I just I don't get it. But I'm also like hair metal totally makes sense to me. So just take it all with a grain of salt. Anyway, as far as it says, I don't care about its stupid poetic meaning or that it's about heroin and horrors. When it gets to the do to do to do part I really just want to him to take a walk off a fucking cliff.
Starting point is 01:07:42 I do like the saxophone solo. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Which they ended up putting it to like a Jean-Jean commercial. I think it's like 20 years later. Was it like a 501 blues commercial? Song, I can't stand. Hey, oh, Billy Prince of Bald Redheads. Long time listener here, finally felt the urge to write in. You've had me cracking up on the money morning podcast for years now, but I've got something
Starting point is 01:08:13 I need to get off my chest. Have you ever listened to, uh, hooked on a feeling? I mean, really listen to it. No, I haven't. It's an absolute banger of a track, a classic, right? But man, every time it kicks off with that, who could shock a, who could, who could shock a, I feel like throwing my radio out the window. I 100% agree with that. Like, I don't know what that hookah chaka is.
Starting point is 01:08:45 That just sounds like, you know, when we would write movies about cavemen, when they had their own language, like that chaka from fucking Land of the Lost, they'd keep it coming. Hookah chaka, hookah, hookah chaka, and then the fucking little blonde girl would be like, you know, the sleet stack are coming. Like, somehow could understand the fucking language. It was so stupid. She never spoke his, oh, maybe she did, I don't know. Am I really gonna break that down?
Starting point is 01:09:09 Anyway, this person says, now, I get it. It was the 70s. People were doing all sorts of weird stuff, funky pants, wild hair. Who knows what they were smoking? What is opposed to now with self-driving cars and legal weed that isn't even weed anymore. You start fucking tripping on it.
Starting point is 01:09:27 But come on, it's like ordering a fine wine and then getting a rubber duck in it. Yeah, I always felt it sounded like really overproduced. When he's going, I can't find that feeling. It's like a wall of like harmony. And this is reverb or something on it that I always like, I got to be honest, I never got past hookah chaka, wuka, wuka, wuka chaka. I just saw it in silly to me. But the person says, every time it starts, I think think about I think I'm about to hear Some lost tribal chant or something and then oh, that's right. It's just that song. I mean, could you imagine it?
Starting point is 01:10:14 If every great song decided to start off with some bizarre chant like Like hey, remember stay away to heaven. Yeah, what if it kicked off with ribbit ribbit ribbit ridiculous, right? Well, that's more of a frog noise, but I know what you mean Now I know you appreciate a good rant and I can't help but wonder what you think about this Is it just me maybe I'm overreacting every time I hear who got Chaka, I think of how much better the song would be without it, 100%. That was that weird period of like Cherokee people. Cherokee tribe and everyone was kung fu fighting.
Starting point is 01:11:01 There was this whole weird, like karate movies, us sort of filing, addressing what FIGHTY! DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADAD friends with the oppressed group, but then don't really do anything to help them. And then when they get kicked off a more land, then they go, I need to call, I need to check in with my Indian friends to make sure they're doing. How are you doing? I'm so sorry you lost more land. Is there anything I can do?
Starting point is 01:11:43 Anyway, keep up the great work on the podcast. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this absolute tragedy of a song intro. Cheers from the Netherlands. I don't think you're gonna really have anybody argue with that. I bet the people in the band, you know what, I'm actually gonna look it up.
Starting point is 01:12:05 I'm even over right now. I don't wanna look this shit up. So this is what you have to guys. You gotta look up the 1973 Chilean coup d'état. And you also have to look up, why did they say, who, okay, why did they chant, why did they chant Huka Chaka? See if this even comes out. Okay, what does in the first song by Johnny Preston?
Starting point is 01:12:43 Huka Chaka is basically some white backup singers trying to sound like they're doing an Indian i.e. Native American warchant. According to Wikipedia entry on Running Bear, the singer responsible for the Uka Chaka is country western singer George Jones. I love George Jones. Jesus Christ. What does Uke Chaka mean in these two songs? The first Johnny Uke Chaka. Yeah, this is the same thing.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Well, there you go. Okay, Chaka. Yeah, this is the same thing. Well, there you go. George Jones, he's probably like, eh, everybody, damn people in the, helping out the Native American. Let's just, you know, throw some Indian shit on that. I don't fucking know.
Starting point is 01:13:38 He didn't talk like that. Well, there you go. Yeah, I would agree. I think that that's fucking terrible in it. Also, I would agree. I think that that's fucking terrible. And it also, I don't know, I think that song's only okay. And it doesn't really take me back to the 70s. Cause I never really heard it until I wanna say, Quentin Tarantino used it in a movie.
Starting point is 01:14:01 I can't remember. Did he use that in a movie? Who's it the other one? There's another one that starts with... He has one movie where they're driving away in a car. There's this really weird chant that's clearly supposed to be from a different culture, but it's clearly white people doing it, I think. Or maybe it isn't.
Starting point is 01:14:23 I don't fucking know. I don't fucking know. I don't fucking know. Anyway, I'm babbling. I'm babbling. I don't think I'm contagious anymore. All right, that's it. I'm gonna get on with my day here. I hope you guys all have a great day.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Sorry about all my conspiracy theory, but it's just, I don't know. It was a fucking tough patriot loss. That's what I'm chalking this podcast up to. Alright, alright. I'll check it on you on Thursday.
