In the mountain, in the kitchen, even in the living, they really lie everywhere,
the empty batteries.
But now we go to the finish, bring them to a Bebath collection point quickly.
You will always find one in your neighborhood on Bebath.be
Bebath!
Together, better for nature and for all of us.
Campaign in cooperation with the OVAM.
Hey everybody!
Why?
No one goes to work!
Is it Labor Day around the world?
If it is, happy Labor Day to all of you guys out there,
especially ones that make all of our clothes.
Everybody in the first world out there.
Come on, let's have a nice round of applause
for the six-year-old in El Salvador
who made you little cargo pants
that you're walking around the cookout with right now
with your big stupid pockets.
Your wife's rolling her fucking eyes going,
why does he keep wearing those shorts he had in college?
Oh God, the 90s are over.
Why doesn't he see it?
Why did I end up jumping on his dick instead of that other guy's?
That other guy, he became a doctor and he wears slacks now.
For those of you around the world listening to this podcast,
my ego tells me that there is people around the world,
you know, maybe somebody sitting in a bunker, right?
Listening to this shit.
Over here in the United States, we have something called Labor Day
because we work so fucking hard in this country.
That's why we're number one.
You know why?
Because we outworked all of you.
You bunch of lazy fucking cunts.
Actually, we didn't.
According to Tom Broke, I was the greatest generation.
They fucking did everything except raise their kids right.
You know, they raised their kids right
where they reacted to the Vietnam War the way they did now.
They would have gone into the Pacific the same way they did in World War II.
We got a job to do. It's got to get done.
No one wants to do it. Fuck it.
I'm volunteering, right?
They were so shell-shocked from that they couldn't even look at their kids.
And then their kids just grew up all spoiled rotten.
And then all of a sudden it was their turn to go.
And then they were just like, hey, man, like, don't harsh the mellow, man.
Right? And that was the beginning of the end.
I'm telling you right now, if less people dodged the Vietnam War,
you wouldn't have as many fat people in this fucking country right now.
Okay? And if you can't do the math on that one, then you know what?
I can't help you.
That's one of my new things is I just make stupid statements to people in bars, right?
That connect in no way possible.
And as I watch their forehead wrinkle up, I throw in,
and if you can't do the math, then I can't help you.
It's a fucking wonderful game because it puts somebody...
Remember when you were in like junior high, grade school, junior high or whatever,
and kids first started talking about sex, and they would be like,
do you know what this is? And you had no idea, but you didn't want to admit to it,
you know, because you didn't want to be the kid who didn't know,
even though nobody was fucking anything at that point, right?
But you just didn't want to be the dummy. That's what I'm tapping into.
All right? And if you can't do the math on that, then I can't help you.
I'm telling you, when you say I can't help you, you got to look away,
and just let them sit with that. You know, just sitting with them,
but that didn't make any sense. Well, should I let it go?
Is anybody else noticing that I don't know what it means?
Anyways, Labor Day, I don't know what the history of it is.
I'm sure I could look it up on Wikipedia, but so could you, you know?
What am I, your fucking reader? Do you want me to do it?
Because I will. I'll look it up right now.
I'll fucking click on this right here, right?
And then I'm going to type in Labor Day, L-A-B-E-R.
It's B-O-R. Jesus Christ. Labor Day history.
What is the history of Labor Day? You know, there's going to be something horrific.
Labor Day's politics history begins with workers' strikes in 1890s.
You knew it. You knew there was going to be some sort of bloodshed.
Right? And then we all forget.
Years later, we're just sitting around a fucking big green egg smoking a big pork shoulder,
which is what I'm doing right now.
Rose Bowl legend. Jason Lawhead will be joining the...
I should really clarify that. Rose Bowl tailgate legend.
I keep calling those legends like we're actually out there playing the game.
Oh, look at that. An advertisement for Hertz rental car.
You know what? I think I'm actually going to switch to them.
This is free advertising for those cunts.
Because whenever I go to the airport and I'm waiting for fucking budget, those douchebags,
I think they have one bus at every airport.
And I've really tried to sit there and be like, okay, am I just impatient?
And so I just started counting buses. And I got to tell you, Hertz and Avis, they got a lot of buses.
National and Alamo, they're kind of like, I don't know.
They're from the other side of the track.
You know, they didn't come from money, but they're working their way up.
They got to share a bus, you know, but it's building character over there.
There's a lot of character over at Alamo and National.
But I'll tell you, budget wasn't raised right.
You need to stay away from them.
I've had it with those cunts. I've had it with them. I've been with them for fucking ever.
I've had it with them.
All right, Labor Day's political history begins with worker strikes in the 1890s.
Yeah, this is when we had sweatshop labor over here, which is why we created unions,
so that they would stop.
And then the unions literally became the fucking thing that they were fighting.
All right, leaning on shovels, some on break and all that fucking thing, taking advantage of it.
And then the corporate cunts said, oh, yeah, well, you know, good luck to you and your union.
We're taking the factory to another country.
Go on strike all you want. We're still making money.
All right, there you go.
Like the Maginal line, they flew right over the fucker.
So now here we are.
All right, and that poor guy in rage against the machines got to bring his ukulele all over the fucking country
to try and get the people of this nation refocus on what the purpose of a union is.
Huh, because all those, hey, man, people, they all had kids.
They all had kids.
All right, and then they joined unions and then everything left.
All right, and if you can't do the fucking math on that, then I can't help you.
Yeah, I just walked away. I can't help.
Labor Day has fallen upon us once again.
Oh, this guy, what a writer.
Has it really fallen upon us?
Has it graced itself with our graced ourselves with its presence?
Is that how we say it?
Labor Day has fallen upon us once again.
I would love to look up the douchebag who wrote this and find out how many fucking articles he started that way.
You know, just the way this hacky stand-up comics, there's also hacky writers.
Like, I refuse.
Ooh, ooh, do you, Bill? Are you really refusing?
Can you feel the world shaking in its fucking boots?
Um, fuck you.
I have my standards that I live by, I like to think.
Piece of shit standards, but standards nonetheless.
Um, I don't, I refuse to read any celebrity interview that begins with what they're eating.
I think that's the hackiest way to, I've met a zillion times.
John Travolta, you know, breaks into some fucking medium rare steak wearing a smart button down.
Shut the fuck up and just ask him what it was like to be in dance fever.
All right?
You say, hey, I'm a star fucker and I can't believe I get to sit across from this icon.
It's amazing that when he eats, he also gets shit on his face.
You wouldn't think that from an Oscar.
Winner!
Um, all right, for most Americans, we're back to the article now.
This means little more than the end of the summer.
Oh, really? You're gonna talk down to me right at the beginning of the fucking article?
Joseph, do you have fucking horn-rimmed glasses from the 80s?
For most Americans, this means little more than the end of the summer.
Social season.
Oh, well, you know, he's actually right because I did have to look this thing up.
Kids and college students alike returned to school,
leaving relieved parents to grasp some sense of normalcy.
Jesus, get to be more fucking dramatic.
Cookouts flare on and friends get together for cool drinks after some outdoor fun.
Was this written in the 20s?
No, because there hasn't been anything racist yet.
We're playing horseshoes.
Back then, they probably used like a black guy.
They just hammered his head into the ground and used him as like a steak,
and nobody said anything wrong with it, right?
Isn't that how bad the racism was back then?
I might be wrong on that one. I don't know.
All right, amid all the action, everyone seems to forget that Labor Day,
what Labor Day is all about.
Well, for the love of God, Joseph, can you get to the fucking point?
We get it. You know what it is and we don't.
What an asshole.
You know what, in his picture he has his glasses on,
but as I read this, I picture him taking them off right now
to give me a little talk into.
During the late 1800s, Labor leaders,
Labor decided that hardworking Americans deserved a holiday of their own.
In other words, they felt them getting ready to storm the castle.
This is the old bread and circus.
After 1894's monumental Pullman railroad strike,
Congress decided to federalize this holiday.
Ah, God.
And let me guess, the fucking morons agreed to it.
Hey, we wanted equal pay and we wanted some decent hours.
Hey, how about we give you one day off a year?
Is it going to be beer?
Of course it's going to be beer. All you can drink.
Oh, I don't know about that fellow. Sounds pretty good to me.
Bye, he's a jolly good fellow, and that's the end of it.
They completely lose their focus.
The Pullman strike had such a wide-ranging implication
that less than a week after it ended,
the President Grover Cleveland signed the Labor Day Act into law.
Now, if you can't fucking do the math on that,
don't you see what's happening? This strike happened
and all the fucking blue blood douchebags with their top hats
chomping on a cigar, walking around like the fucking penguin,
they saw what was coming.
People were like, we've had it, we're not going to take this anymore,
and we're coming for you, you tuxedoed cunt on a Tuesday.
How much money do you have that you're wearing that get-up
on a fucking Tuesday, right? Back then, they had spats, right?
Showed out a big, long car.
They didn't try to hide it.
So, they saw what the fuck was coming,
and then, you know, Grover Cleveland, so who's kidding who?
They get in office, all those rich cunts, right?
So, they get them, hey, Grover.
He's supposed to call me Mr. President.
Grover, get in here.
Waddle your fat ass in here, you cunt.
Listen, okay, if this shit, what happened at the Pullman Strike,
happened straight across this land,
we're not going to have the money to keep the whores coming in
to suck your dick while your wife's in the other room.
Do you want that to happen?
It was a rhetorical question, just listen to us, okay?
We need to have a fucking day off for these people.
Just give them one fucking day off.
We'll smoke a pork shoulder, we'll get them a bunch of beer.
They'll be so fat and fucking hungover.
They'll be good till Christmas.
All right, just do this for us so we can keep all the money.
Can you do that for us?
Haven't we done enough for you?
Your fucking name is Grover Cleveland,
and we still got you the Oval Office.
All right, we ready? On two.
On two, ready, break.
All right, sorry.
I think, I don't need to read the rest of this.
Isn't that what happened?
Considering then both U.S. soldiers
and federal law enforcement officers
killed a number of strikers,
this was the least that he could do.
Oh yeah, God forbid
you protest that you work in fucking 900 hours
a goddamn week.
You know?
Ah, Jesus Christ.
See, this is before they had like fucking,
you know, CNN and Fox News
to spin it and all that type of crap.
All you had was word of mouth going around.
You know?
I'm sure they had newspapers.
People read back in the 1800s.
All right, I know I'm just sounding
dumber by this second, but I think
I made some sort of point there.
I like to think I did.
Well, this is actually fascinating to me now.
Let's read some more of Jason's article.
Is that his name?
Joseph, sorry.
Minimum wage laws were
a long way off, and if one
thinks the health insurance is bad now,
it was non-existent then.
There is the gilded ages
near total lack of workplace
sanitation and fare pay
standards. Oh yeah, like when they built like the Brooklyn bridge
like they averaged like five guys dying a day.
A day. Something crazy
because they didn't understand the bends.
And as they were bringing somebody up and they'd start to get it,
they were like, bring him up quicker. He's getting sick.
And then that would be it.
That was it. Your dad went to work
and he died.
You know? There was no 60 minutes.
You know, coming out to
fucking help you. Ed Bradley or some shit.
He's still around and he died too.
A lot of people died on that show.
Well, it's been around
for 50 years, Bill. A lot of people died
on the Brady Bunch at this point. No.
Alice is still alive.
I don't know about Sam, but
you might died.
The dad died.
Dad always dies, you know?
Fucking working his ass off.
Trying to
drop some plans and fucking
put Lawrence Henderson coming in with the world's first
mullet.
You know?
Ah, where the fuck am I?
Thankfully, scores of long
pressed labor has eventually got together and formed
unions. As individuals, they were all
but powerless to bring about the positive change.
In large groups though, they managed to secure
the American dream, not only for themselves,
but for generations to come.
Throughout the 20th century,
Democrats typically favored the interest
of non-managed workers, while
Republicans catered to administrators
and business owners. Why do you gotta throw the
Hatfields and McCoys in there?
You know? It's us
versus
the 5% of them.
Okay, stop with the Yankee Red Sox shit,
goddammit. Radicals in both parties
often destroyed the chance for reasonable
solutions to co- Okay, that's fair.
To complex financial problems,
but moderate voices often prevailed.
That should explain our country's
economic success for most
in the 1900s. Well, I imagine there's more to it
than that, but what the fuck?
So there you go, people. There's a little ignorant
history on this wonderful fucking day.
And here we are.
120 years later,
and I'm sitting around today
doing a podcast
smoking a pork shoulder. I made a fucking
apple pie.
It's going down. Calories.
Calories will be consumed
on this wonderful day.
You know what would be great
is if somehow
you could just eliminate greed
and be jealousy paranoia
lost basically the seven deadly sins.
Okay.
Look, I'm far from a fucking perfect person.
Oh, Jesus.
But it would be good just at least at that fucking level.
You know, if everybody could be like, hey, you know, we're making enough money.
Yeah, why we should, you know,
give you health insurance.
I love that whole fucking myth
that if you actually treat workers
decently like a fucking t-shirt
is going to cost $50.
It isn't.
In order for you to continue
maintaining your fucking giant yacht,
it would cost that. When I was a kid, you know,
factories were just starting to go
overseas, but they made a lot of shit here
and sneakers weren't the equivalent
of fucking $200 or whatever the fuck
they said that they were going to be. It's all bullshit.
I don't buy a fucking word of it.
And that's it.
All right.
I'm not going to talk anymore because at this point
I'm probably even sounding more ignorant than usual,
but my gut tells me I'm right.
So go fuck yourselves.
I just bailed out of that one, didn't I?
Nice barrel roll right out of a fucking moving car.
So most of you
are probably asking, not most of you,
but a lot of you.
Well, maybe none of you.
But none of you can call in to tell me you're not thinking this.
So I'm going to go with this and say you are thinking this shit.
It's a pork shoulder. You're eating the shoulder of a pork.
It's actually the pigs ass.
But you would sell a lot less of them.
I think if you said, you know,
you know, pig ass, pig rectum.
Some people will go pig butt.
That's the closest I'll say.
But yeah, we're eating the, uh, the ass
of a pig.
We're smoking the fucker.
And, uh,
it's going to be delicious.
Um, so anyways, let's get on with the podcast here.
Everybody, did you watch any college
football this weekend?
Lawhead, come on in.
Oh, look who's here.
Huh, jump on.
Wait, wait, wait. I got to give you a proper intro.
You've never been on the podcast, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have here
the living legend. He's tipping the cap.
I keep saying Rose Bowl legend.
It's got to be a Rose Bowl, uh,
tailgate legend.
Call the fame.
Grab the microphone right there.
Touchdown in a Rose Bowl.
But, uh, but we're built.
We've built a program here.
Because when we started this thing, it was ugly.
It was bad. I mean, we were like a first year.
No, you weren't even there.
You weren't even there at the first tailgate.
The first two years, you showed up
to the second one, but you weren't cooking.
You were at another one. The first year.
I only think I remember
it was being drunk
and Bartnick
putting butter on the steaks
with two fingers, with his index finger
with his middle finger, because we didn't have any utensils.
He's probably doing that today.
And I had this little hibachi
and, uh, I just remember
I didn't know how to cook. I didn't know how to grill
or anything like that. I kept flipping the steak
and I heard this guy go, please, please stop flipping
that steak.
Hopefully it was a little holiday fan.
Or no, that was the second year. I showed up during the
holiday game. No, this was the first year.
This is already how long we've been doing this
and how I'm starting to feel like the old man
over there. The first year we went there
it was USC versus Penn State
fucking Mark
Sanchez
was quarterback for USC
Pete Carroll was still coach
Joe Paterno
Joe Paterno hadn't been
uncovered yet. Well, I mean,
you know, but the
fucking I actually did stand up
for both teams down at the improv.
They had like this pre thing. So one night
they had us one day they had USC
Joe Paterno was not there. I often
wondered was send dusky there.
I mean, granted everybody
he was off the staff by then, but
and everybody was shaving. So
if they got to another
Rose Bowl after what all the
has happened, you might down a little bit.
Do you think that they would ever
Penn State would ever go to an improv comedy show
like that now even
you know, just with the risk
I just some guy that might
I think they would because they're already on TV
and
yesterday I caught myself going, oh, let's see
how they rebuild this. And then I had to think
rebuild it from the pedophile case, but
they're already like they're bringing Joe Paterno
statue back out and
you know, they took it down like he was fucking Saddam Hussein
but I mean, dude
I don't want to get into that whole subject
because I love the guy, but I just don't know
no matter what generation
no matter how old you are, how
you
you know what it is, dude, it's power, it's money
it's the reputation, there was so much
shit on the line that they tried
to fucking out of handle it in, I don't know
handle it in the house. Who knows, let's not even talk
about that. We got a pork shoulder right now
smoking.
So they, so that first year
I didn't think
we had cigars. We might have had
cigars, but dude, we got absolutely
fucking annihilated. I think all we had was the
steaks or maybe burgers.
I can't, I can't fucking remember all I remember
dude, I was so, because you got to understand
when you guys go there
like, you help
with the drinking, with Bartnick. I was going
like one on one.
Like if Bartnick was a wrestler, we'd have to all come
running in from the locker room to try to take him down
but I was sitting there.
Like I had my wrestling scene from Stripes when everybody
all the girls had to go take down John Candy.
Yeah, beat the shit out of him off.
I actually saw that actor who played
he played Psycho in Francis Sawyer.
Yeah, I saw him in an episode of TJ
Hooker. TJ Hooker is some of the worst
acting ever. Ever.
And he's still great.
He's still great in it.
He just, he just was a fucking great actor.
Adrian Zememeth.
No, no, the other guy, his partner,
Hooker's partner, the good looking guy, the young guy.
Oh, who played an Italian, but he was terrible.
He was a
Armenian or something. He was like Armenian, he was
like Eastern Bloc. And he played, he played
Romano was his name. Yeah, I mean his last name
started with a Z. He was an Italian.
His real last name was like a ZYMT
and then it was like a.
Well, you have to watch it because they
they never call him TJ.
They just call him Hooker the whole time
so that they'll be like when TJ's in
a difficult situation, they'll be trying to find
him out and they got the walkie-talkie going
Hooker, Hooker.
And it's just like that.
I heard Hooker from the day I was born.
So like why,
how the fuck did they get on the air?
Like why wouldn't you just pick something else?
And that's probably why they just threw the TJ
title so they could just have the TJ
but knew that they were going to hook it all the time.
They never used it. I don't think you're going to go away
with like Hooker, Friday night, Hooker on
CBS, everybody. Although that would
everyone want to watch. No, but I'm saying the characters
could have said fucking
could have said like TJ, right?
TJ. TJ.
That's still bad. That is bad. Call him Tommy.
Tommy Hooker.
Thomas. He needs more
of a manly name. We built this program to what it
is today. I mean this is like
for your ask from where it started
to now we're smoking
meat. Oh, the day starts with the omelette
starts with a heater. Who's kidding?
The heater.
Starts off with a whiskey. Then you have a fucking
100 at ease. Joe Bartnick.
I could drink a hundred at ease.
I love when he does that.
Literally Joe Bartnick after his first sip
of whiskey when it hits his lips, he looks
around everybody in this like
strong whispery voice.
I could drink a hundred at ease
and then the night's the day's on
and he loses his ticket and then waits for
us at the game. Oh, I don't even know
if I even brought that up from last year. That was
the worst fucking that was like the Willem de
Faux moment in platoon left him behind.
Somehow he
lost his ticket. He got picked. Things are so big
he put him in his back pocket and I think
because I walked to the stadium with him.
You guys were a little ahead of us because he was
moving slow. You know, Joe's a big dude. He had
about a hundred at ease in him.
Right. And I was kind of like
staying to his pace like helping him
and then we get to the gate and he goes right to
his back pocket and it's gone and I'm like, I looked
at that. I'm like, ah, we walked around
but it was one of those things like if somebody
had their game on and they saw that
thing sticking out of his back pocket, if he's just
I mean, you know those crowds, you swipe it and you're gone.
Or if it just fell on ground, pick it up
and just go scalp it or something.
Yeah, so he had to stay outside. That was
the fucking worst. Hey, is it
true that they don't sell booze at the Rose Bowl?
No booze at the Rose Bowl. We're so
in the sheets by then that
we don't even care. Five years in, I never noticed.
Yeah, they don't sell booze. Hey, I got to do a couple
of advertising right here. If you're just tuning in,
I like to say that like this is actual radio station
rather than people downloaded it. We're talking
three to two in a tent. Rose Bowl tailgate
legend. Jason
Lawhead, he's over here smoking a fucking
pig's ass.
All right, Dollar Shave Club everybody.

Yeah, back then when they would do
the promos for the war, I was watching
all this ever since I've been reading
these World War II books and stuff
and just watching some of those
propaganda films
that they have. Like, dude,
like the
work, they would actually show
war crimes. Like strafing, I guess, was
considered a war crime, which is basically
if you had people, like, defenseless
in the water after you shot down
their ship or whatever, shot down the ship, torpedoed
their ship, they would just see the survivors
in the war and they'd come
and they would show that. How'd they do it to us?
It was brutal. It was war, man. It's fucking brutal.
But what kills me is you think they try
to keep it quiet, but they were describing
one showing strafing
in a movie theater. The crowd was going
nuts and he goes, there they are, boys. Let them have it.
And then he goes, they deserve it.
It's like Phil Hartman's sketch.
And they got to, like, they always had
the music behind it, too. Like the
happy, like, parade music.
Oh, yeah.
At the risk of repeating myself from last
week, like, both sides
viewed each other like they were animals.
Like, they thought that we bled green
blood and we had tails
and I don't know.
We said, we both said
each side was devils.
They said, you know, if
the Americans come, kill yourself because
they're going to eat you and all this type of stuff.
And they were actually
committing acts of cannibalism.
Dude, I've read this book, Fly Boys.
I'm telling you, there's a chapter in there.
Like, I had to set it down and walk
away for a little bit and then plow my,
because it was such a good book, just that one chapter
on that. Dude, it was
a, I don't know.
We're smoking a pork shoulder. I don't need to be talking about this.
Smoking a pork shoulder.
We're going to be making some coleslaw, bro.
Coleslaw. Yeah, but I don't need to be talking
about fucking cannibalism.
If you had to, if you had to eat a person.
All right, Jay, I got to ask you this.
What's the body type
you would be looking for? You wouldn't want...
Survival or enjoyment?
Like, if I had to, like, string it out
or, like, if I had to, like, stock my shelf,
or if I just really wanted a nice,
nice suit and...
I don't want you to go Hannibal Lecter.
I want you to be, let's consider for a second
that I'm surprised at that reaction,
but let's just say you're a...
You know what I mean? Like, is it One Night Out
or is it I'm on an island?
If I'm on an island, I'll pick John Goodman,
if I'm, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but, okay, John Goodman will be nice and marbled.
Yeah.
There can be a lot of flavor in that.
You got an athlete. It's going to be too tough.
Exactly. You know?
This one you got, you got to get that married guy
who used to work out, but now he's got four kids.
I figured that would be the...
Travolta. That would be the best eats.
He's like the nice middle of the road kind of a guy.
Yeah, and he used to dance.
Yeah, he used to dance.
He used to be soft in areas where you could taste really good.
You know what I mean?
You think, like, now it's like his nose
or his double chin would taste really good.
Like, that'd be like a snack.
Nah, that's too exotic.
That's like the pig hoof.
I started like sweating after my body was just like,
what kind of meat is this?
No, you got to go with the...
I have nightmares for like a month straight.
Yeah, you got to go with Travolta's pork shoulder.
All right, let's go with this.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
or John Travolta.
John Travolta would be more like an age steak.
This is probably so disgusting.
And I think Philip Seymour Hoffman,
you'd have to do a lot of cleaning.
Like, Travolta looks like he waxes,
so you wouldn't have to go off there.
You wouldn't have to like, you know,
chop so much of the hair off.
You know, like, if I get killed a bear
compared to a deer, you'd have to really work the bear over.
All I'm thinking right now is Louis de Palma.
Let's get out of this.
Hey, you're a big college football fan.
What did you watch this weekend?
Well, obviously, I was in Vegas this weekend.
I watched my Buckeyes.
We didn't look great, but got some work to do on defense.
Number two in the country.
You know, you guys,
you guys can't pull,
got yourself out of the hole real quick.
Like that guy in the Viagra commercial
when he hooks the truck up to the horse, right?
Well, we got Urban, man, Urban Meyer.
That guy goes, everywhere that guy goes, he wins.
I mean, his winning percentage is ridiculous.
Like 870.
I mean, he's, he can't,
undefeated season at Utah one year.
I'm not as deep as you.
Now, he's not, the guy who was there when they got suspended,
he left.
I mean, he was there when they got suspended here.
Thank God, Meyer got sick of his family
after a couple of years.
Oh, I was spending time with my family.
Luckily, they were annoying and he's back on the scene.
You know what I mean?
And he's got two national titles.
He probably could have won one in Utah.
If it was before it was prior BCS, you know,
Alex Smith, he recruited Alex Smith.
You know,
why did I hear like they're getting rid of the BCS?
Like this is the last year.
They're going to go to that final four type thing.
They're going to go to a finally, like a somewhat
of a playoff. Oh, you got to play two game.
Yeah, you're going to have a final four and NCAA football final four.
Do you know how huge that's going to be?
It's going to be ridiculous.
And you know, most of the games will be played right here
in our backyard, right here.
I mean, there would be idiots not to use Pasadena for that.
That's going to be amazing.
Well, I gotta tell you, I watched my LSU Tigers
playing the TCU.
He go broke.
Come on, frogs.
Hey, you know what's funny is I couldn't
find the fucking game because I kept looking up
LSU when they were on all I saw was
versus Texas Christian University.
And I'm so dumb.
I didn't put I didn't know what they did.
They never said it the whole game.
They didn't go, come on, Texas Christian University.
They went TCU.
No, bro.
Come on, bro.
That was the game we saw them against Wisconsin.
That was the game when we basically knew then we had to
up our game in the tailgate realm.
It was that TCU Wisconsin game.
The guy next to us had the flat screen
Yeah, that's when we were like, dude, what are we doing?
We thought we had, we thought we came
more prepared from the year before,
which was right.
And then we were like, last year,
the first time we had people looking at our tailgate
go and see those guys, they're doing it right.
People were coming over every time I lifted that thing.
The big one is women, when women start looking over
going, because women don't forget anything.
No, yeah, we had like moms,
Wisconsin moms coming over going, what are you cooking?
Like, what is that?
People were like kind of like trying to be nice to us
to see if we'd offer them someone it was done like it.
Oh, yeah, it was great.
It's the greatest thing.
But I watched the LSU TCU game
and I got to tell you about this is supposed to be
a rebuilding year for us.
This is my team, but I got to tell you
Well, dude, what am I going to do?
BU got their football program, they're gone.
Yeah.
And BC, I never was, I like their hockey,
but I just was never into the football team.
I just was never into it.
I never liked the uniforms.
I just did that maroon with the gold.
I just never got into it.
And they're good every once every 10 years.
They did an amazing job.
We had some great coaches there, the fucking guy there
with the rosacea on his face
from the windburn.
Oh, Tom Copeland.
Yeah, we had him.
When it's not in season, I can't remember anybody's fucking name.
But anyways, we got that Mettenberger guy
at quarterback and now they're not switching off.
He actually looked really fucking solid.
They got Cam Cameron now and is the QB coach.
Dude, everywhere that guy is going on.
Phillip Rivers, Drew Brees and what's his face?
Joe Flacco won the Super Bowl last year.
He coached all of those guys.
So I feel good about that.
They got this new kid, Ego Ferguson.
It's great, isn't it?
SEC names are the best.
What a fucking great name. Anthony Johnson,
both those guys were beasts yesterday.
And then they're saying that, you know,
the receivers are right, Odell Beckham's are right.
That's going to be a good year in the SEC
I mean, obviously that's what we're doing here.
We're doing spurier ball.
If LSU didn't have that one fumble,
that blue kid, I don't know whose fault
it was, but dropped it right there
and just basically gave him seven points.
But TCU actually looked strong.
They're a good team.
And their fucking uniforms are great.
Yeah, it was black on blue.
No, it's purple.
But why they had that red stripe?
No.
Because I guess when the horn toad
is the horned frog, when it gets mad
and it gets upset, blood comes out of its eyes.
Really?
Yeah, so that's what that's supposed to be.
We got to see one of those in real life.
I've never seen one in real life.
Are they at zoos? Do they exist? They do.
Well, how you do the sign that they have is
it's the Fred Sanford.
I got the arthritis hands.
I can't work. I can't pick it up.
Hey, do you need to check on that?
Yeah, let me check on that shoulder.
I'll be back.
I am
not referring to LSU
as my team.
I just did that acting
gig down there and I got to tell you
I actually miss New Orleans.
How the fuck you say it?
I was there long enough
to see the regular people where they live
in those fucking awesome houses.
I got to tell you the humidity is for the
fucking birds.
But
I don't know.
I really liked it and I actually
was getting into the Saints.
It was just a fun town.
Party town. People like to booze.
I like to booze. People like sports.
I like sports.
The only thing that was missing was a fucking hockey team.
And then I liked the fact that they named that team
the Pelicans and everyone was giving them shit
including me and they were starting
to fucking bond over the fact
that nobody liked their name.
And I don't know.
I'm down there and I fell in love with the fucking city.
Go ahead and sue me.
So
when Law Heads comes back we're going to talk about
our upcoming trip out to Denver.
What am I going to talk about now?
Is it time to get into the questions?
Oh fuck, 37 minutes in. Let's get into the questions
for this week everybody.
Syria.
General Billy Patton. Here's what's going on
in Syria. I love that he starts with that.
In other words I kind of fucked up
whatever I said
was going on last week. So here's the real deal
I guess. Assad is killing his people.
Now that's the
the Grand Puba
who's in charge over there. He's killing his people.
Not all of his people. Just the people that
don't like him and anybody who's standing
near him I think. Anyways equally
terrible rebels. Some of whom
are al-Qaeda are now
going to be supported by
the U.S. military.
Now you're probably wondering well why
would we support anything that al-Qaeda is doing
because it's a money thing.
I guess this is Assad isn't doing what we want
him to do so we're going to try
and support the fucking
the Marlins.
Did that work?
Did the Marlins suck this year? I have no idea.
Anyway estimated up to 1.5
million civilians have been displaced
that means homeless I guess.
So now we're going to bomb Syria
but also target some of
Russia's shit in Syria
because they're supporting
the Assad guy. What's my call?
Well I got to
tell you Russia is
the 6th and 9th team
that nobody wants to play.
I mean how the fuck do I know?
I don't know what's going on over there.
I don't know who's I look
I know that
the only reason why we're over there is because
of fucking money and something that comes out
of the ground other than that we don't give a fuck.
Alright we don't we didn't give a shit about
the people in New Orleans. Why would we give a shit
about them over there? It's all about fucking
I don't know. And whether
that is the proper way to do it
or if that's an evil way of doing
what goes on around the world. I have
no idea because
I've never sat in a meeting in the Pentagon
so I have no idea what's going to go on over
there. I feel bad for all the innocent
people sitting there in the crossfire
and I feel lucky that I can lay in a bed and do a
podcast right now and eat some fucking
poor pigs ass. That's all I got for you
sir. What's my call?
Well it's an uphill battle. I'd have to say
I mean it's a home game for Assad
and now that they brought
in the Russians I mean well they don't have the
greatest record. They well they beat the fucking
Germans. That was
great.
They just backed into their own country and just
burned and blew up dams and bridges and all
that shit. They fucking raped their own
goddamn country so
the Russians would have nothing to fuck. They drew
them in and then the winner came and then that was it.
They did the old ropa dope
before fucking Ali.
So you got to give them that one
but then they lost in Afghanistan.
That's always a hard thing though.
When you got a road game
in the game of war that's such
a fucking hard one to win
because
the occupying game because they know eventually
you're going to fucking leave.
Eventually
you know your soldiers are going to want
to go home right.
Sit down have a fucking sandwich
and get any
I don't know
find love and get on with their fucking
life. So that's I don't know
Afghanistan
that's a tough one man.
You know what they are. They like the
charges in the first round of the playoffs.
Just a very very dangerous team
so what's my call. I think it's going to
cost billions of dollars. It's going to
make a couple people a billion
dollars and everybody else is just going to
be suffering. That's what I think is going to
happen and it's probably going to ruin some of
the environment. That's what that's my call
more of the same sir
and it's just going to breed more hatred
and it's not going to solve anything. That's
what I think. All right onward
and upward towards new levels
of misery.
All right grass fed steak
they're bill bunches
you talked about juicing and all that. Have
you switched to grass fed steak
switch to what I've been eating at the whole
fucking time. I do two juices a day
and then I throw down for dinner
right. I eat like a yoga
instructor for the first two fucking
meals and then I eat like John Wayne
so what's better than doing it three times
a day.
Anyways he said it's amazing
it tastes like steak tasted like
15 20 years ago before they started
pumping the cows full of everything. Well I
think they've been doing it longer than that.
There's a company called grass fed beef
company that Rogan talked about
and had the owner on his podcast I
highly recommend
I'll cool I highly recommend
the Joe Rogan experience
podcast because it's the exact opposite
of this one where I just say shit
with no facts behind it
borderline makeup stuff
he actually
oh shitty you got a TV
show on about Joe Rogan questions
everything
so
this is like I do
what I do on this podcast is kind of like
you know when you had what you thought was a cool teacher
and then years later you realized he was
completely irresponsible and wasn't doing his
job slash maybe
trying to fuck one of the students that's what I do
here
what Rogan does Rogan
actually teaches the class
he earns his paycheck
alright there you go probably just lost some fucking listeners
but you know what every once in a while
even I have to tell the truth
you know
back to school Mr. Burr
do you miss going back to school
I miss the
social aspects of it
I missed if I could have appreciated
going
like going back to school especially
if you're in like a public school that's like going
to a club with no cover charge
and every woman
in there is single and is in there
prime
you know as are you
all the guys have full heads of hair
right
all the ladies yeah they're looking good
I mean just to fucking shooting fish in a barrel
you don't need
no opening lines or anything
what's your sign but you know you've been going to school
for fucking ever
they gotta do hey you know just shoot the shit
with them I wish I knew that
I did not know that
hence I was a complete failure
in that department anyways because I'm
31 and every year around this time I think about
how fun it was to go back to school
despite the fact that I hated summer ending
and didn't want to be in class you knew you didn't
have a choice and focused on the good things
like which girls are going to come back hot
will there be a new hot girl in school
I'm glad I get to see the girl
I had a crush on last year but didn't see
all summer because I was a nerd and had no balls
what do you miss
yeah I miss all of that
I miss running into my friends
because back before you even had a car
like you wouldn't see even most of your friends
all summer
yeah I missed out on a lot of shit
that's like when Star Wars came out
and we didn't have
you know we only had three channels
and we didn't have the ones
that the kids watched the UHF stations
and I guess that that's where they advertised it
I don't know we were living in a bubble
I went outside every day played in the woods
played sports went swimming
I completely missed out when Star Wars came out
came out
and when I got back to school
in September everybody was talking about it
and I had no idea what anybody was talking about
and I just had to kind of like
just stand there
and then people realized that I wasn't contributing
you know I felt like Steve Carell
and fucking 40 year old virgin
when he's talking about feeling up a girl
saying it feels like a bag of
sand
you know when he said that
like that's what I had nothing
and
so finally somebody asked me
they're like you know
Bill did you see Star Wars
and I was like
no
actually I didn't and then all the little kids
oh my god you didn't see it
what a fucking losing
and that was it and I got trashed
I literally got trashed for the rest of
recess
what's wrong with your parents
and blah blah blah
what's wrong with your hearts
Jay Lawhead's back everybody
we're talking about going back to school
here and by we I mean me
and my listeners who aren't talking
and just saying things that you missed
are there any moments that you wish
you could go back to in school
to just have that fucking comeback
you know when somebody gave you shit
or maybe beat the shit out of somebody
or maybe fucking ask the girl out
the regrets anything
that's a good question you know what I
my parents always said
one of them always took me to school
that was so cool
like cause my parents were all the way
my dad was my
senior government teacher
oh my
I rolled into high school
with my dad every day
ah Jesus
but there must have been some girls
thought that was cute
all the girls thought my dad they like
there was a couple girls that had shrines
and a guy for his age back then he had the power
you know how the guys when you had the power
Jay's dad by the way is a Hall of Fame
high school basketball coach
great guy you met him but he
so he had that power mistake
but he was also a sharp looking guy
he was a good dresser he's kind of like
a Pat Riley Chuck Daly of his era
he was a sharp dresser
good head of hair
so there was a one girl in my class
I won't name her cause if she's listening
yeah don't name names
I was trying to my dad
cause he was a coach so there would be newspaper articles
or anything she cut out of like our school paper
she opened her locker one day
and there was pictures of him from the newspaper
pictures of him coaching
pictures of him from the thing
seriously it was creepy
you know I'm kind of half him
yeah I'm like
that's gotta be where the hand jobs
I'm a 7th of him
I hope
but um like
it's kind of creepy but I think the one thing is
I was held back in the 5th grade
this is like kind of a joke I tell
cause it's a real trouble maker
but the thing was like a little bit of like
a trouble maker not doing my work
getting in with the wrong crowd type thing
but the joke was it's my mom's
no no no I was just like
you know like uh
you know getting sent to the office a lot
being you know sent in the corner I was 5th grade
I mean I wasn't doing drugs
you know I got held back in 1st grade
and my brother
was gonna borderline get held back
in 3rd grade
and then my dad
no my dad just had this one for all
all for one kind of thing so he held everybody back
and then just felt like boys
aren't as mature as girls they should be held back
so he held all of us back
yeah that's part of why I was like the maturity level
of just being a, I was the youngest
and you know what's funny is I still completely
fucking screwed up
in high school
and I actually went back to my parents house
a few years ago and you know I was getting the last
remaining shit out of there
and my mother doesn't throw anything out
and she had some of my rapport cards too
I mean
just it was fucking ridiculous
it was C's D's
and we didn't have F's they were called E's
I don't know why
like the high water mark maybe was a solid
C and it was just D plus
D minus D
and you're a smart guy
I mean that's like interesting
no you're a smart guy
genius but you're a smart guy
from what I know
I'm smart in that I know what I'm good at
and what I'm good at
is being a loudmouth fucking idiot
and somehow thanks to this business
I'm able to turn that into a living
but if I was in anything else
I was always a good
I got a good work ethic for my parents
but trust me dude
I failed
I had a lot of shit
a lot of shit
I just wanted to have fun dude
that's all I wanted to do
I didn't want to work
I didn't mind working
but it had to be fun
that's why I like working in warehouses
I like blue collar jobs because there was this thing
where you were working but you weren't in this office
or this cubicle you weren't in this designated area
it switched you had different job sites
and everybody
was fucking funny
my buddy mind he did construction
and I went over to his job site
one time and dude they were the funniest motherfuckers
and they had like catchphrases
and they had this thing
what they would do if anybody bitched
they would just like someone be like
what the fuck is my nail gun I blah blah
and you hear somebody all the other side of house just go
it do like this baby thing
this wah thing and that's what they would
because what they were doing was this unbelievable
it was a fucking bitch of a job
so what it is
you just saw how humor worked
because if he starts bitching everybody bitches
then you're just doing this job and you got this negative thing
so it was this way
because anybody would do it
they would start fucking laugh
everybody else would start fucking laugh
and you'd be 90 degree heat
putting a fucking roof on a house
just hating your life
I lasted ten days doing this shit
before I went back to the warehouses
I was fucking working with these guys
and we were putting a roof on something
like the scaffolding
like the supports up
drilling holes in and hanging on the side of the house
so they could put the board across it
so they could do the roof
and I remember next door
was this house with a backyard with an in ground pool
and these two fucking hot chicks
are bringing out shit and these two guys
fucking Jersey Shore looking guys
laying out
and enjoying their fucking summer
and I was just sitting there going like
what the fuck is wrong with this picture
I remember one point was looking up
watching this work and like
he was just one of those good looking shredded guys
so he didn't have a fucking ounce of guilt
not an ounce where I would actually in shame
gone back into the house
like I don't want to be enjoying the pool
with those guys working like that
this guy was just fucking
turn the radio louder
dude you would have felt like we were making the roof for him
he just fucking owned it
and I'll tell you that guy he has no regrets from his childhood
he crushed
everything he was this fucking beautiful guy
that's funny I still remember that
and there was this Irish guy Billy you must work quicker
you must work quicker
and at one point I got mad like dude this is the first time I fucking ever put these up
if you want me to go faster
and you land on your fucking back
I'll do it you know
I've never had a real job
that's one of the one thing I've loved about my life
so far is I've never had one of those jobs
where you just hate every day
like you know going into
I've always worked in the restaurants
so hard like hard labor
worked out on the highway crew
worked out little construction
the more of a labor I didn't know how to build
carry in the ship but those kind of guys
you're right those kind of jobs
are where you meet really funny people that
you know appreciate the things that
they get when they get them because
they're working their ass off
dude you know what do you know one time
like we had a guy who worked
and the guy was a total fucking alcoholic
like cokehead maniac
at 8.30 showed up like 10.30
10.45
and he comes in all bleary-eyed
and his fucking hair
was soaking wet from a shower
and he just comes walking and he goes
all the traffic was
his fucking hair
was soaking wet dude his eyes
look like roadmaps right he's big
like it was funny he had like this
he was a big guy but he never worked out
it was just all calories from his awful life
and he had this limp fish handshake
he had skinny arms and skinny legs
and just this keg of a chest
you know one of those guys just keeps
pushing the pants down and tightening the belt
so he fucking
so we just used to keep giving him shit
this is before like being an alcoholic
was considered like a sad disease
so I remember we were going to get donuts that day
and fucking hilarious
we go hey you know Paul you know
I can't say I just said his name Paul
Paul you want anything from
dunkies we're going to Dunkin Donuts
you know and back then they had muffins
they had donuts and that type of shit
and he just goes and somebody goes
how about a donut no good muffin
no no I'm good copy and I'm good
and then this other guy goes how about a rum cake
we all fucking laughed our asses off
of the guy long story short he finally
ends up getting fired
and he left one of his
remember the remember Shackets
it was like it was a jacket
and a shirt it was basically like a flannel
shirt with like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
it had the yeah yeah Shackets
so he left that thing behind and this one
dude you talk about like a funny bastard
and like but really like artistic
he took all these empty boxes and made like
a giant statue of the guy
out of the boxes and he put the jacket on it
and he drew these bleary eyes
and he put like this mop and thing on top
dude we fucking came in
even the boss we were
fucking howling at this drunk
that we didn't even try to help
we just fired it fired the guy sent
him out on the street and then we just
made that we laughed our asses off and we
and we left it up for like fucking
like like the shrine it was up for like
two weeks and then finally the boss
was just so we were on low on boss
boxes you gotta you gotta fucking take
that thing down dude we had
this other guy I feel bad about this one
this guy we hired this guy
and the boss thought it would be a good idea
to hire somebody that was a little bit older
to try to get some sort of fucking maturity
because dude we won't we will
we just did all this dumb shit
like you didn't care about your job
you just did dumb shit
and we had like these things that we would do to get through
the day I remember there was
this guy hey what bit is this thing in and it was
and it was 737
and he kept going 737 and the guy
what what and he finally jumped off these
boxes and did like this karate thing went
woah 737
as loud as he could
and then one day we just decided we were all
gonna scream that at the same time
and the door was open from the warehouse
into the suited area where everyone
was dressed like Michael J. Fox
and out of nowhere
and if it was just really quiet summer day
the entire warehouse screamed
at the top of their lungs just went
woah 737
right and I remember
fucking picked it so stew I don't know why we did it
picked his fucking head up and
his boss immediately came running
in and he's going they're yelling
they're yelling out here
like we were animals like what are they doing
and then he got fucking I almost said
balled out this is how old this story is
remember that expression he got
he got yelled at and then he came out
and he had this high pitched
voice and he'd be like
you know come on you guys you know you're all here
blah blah blah and then whenever he would talk
we would just do this impression of him back
we wouldn't even listen we would just be going
come on come on you guys
the trucks and then he would just
be frustrated and would
walk away shaking his head and just be like
bunch of babies just a bunch of babies
and we wouldn't listen
to any like the level
of mad that he had to get because he
oh that's right because he used to substitute
he used to be us and then he got promoted
there you go and then that was
that's what it was like I've also
wondered how Bill Russell was able to
coach his players even though they all
won together and he was the legend he had
you know nine rings at that point ten rings
before he got his eleventh like
there's just something about like
dude you're telling me to run the stairs now
give me a fucking break exactly that's where
yeah come on
alright let me I gotta read one more advertising here
my little more Paul Harvey thing here and then I gotta go

all right let's let's move on here where are we
in the podcast oh by the way how's the
she's looking good did you peak
oh yeah I just peed she's looking
good there's a little we're right
we're right at 275
well I wanted to make sure that the chips were
you know needed any we got you know
we're adding you know
apple
soaked apple chips to this bad boy we're smoking
oh what did you start with
the apple you started with the apple
we're gonna get some hickory in there
we're back in it was some hickory
yeah don't don't give me the
course light of smoked fucking
pig butt no all right
need to stop being a nervous cunt this is
gonna be the last one here people
Billy Redface love the podcast oh speaking
of redface the red state tour
it got splintered because of the acting
work so this but no
but I I'm making up all of them so this
week is gonna be
boulder and pikes peak
on Wednesday and Friday
Thursday we have off
we're going we're going to the
Broncos Ravens game
my buddy in Vegas this weekend he wanted
me to ask you he goes to
because you know when you under the disguise
I'm from Cleveland everybody originally
if you haven't known that but the funny
thing is when I told my boys this weekend I was
going to the Broncos Ravens game they're like
what is the guy not like you because you know
the Ravens and the Browns
and the Broncos like put it in our heart like
nine times but you guys you guys
all but nothing but it has nothing to do with
that's the actual Cleveland Brown franchise
at this point you just hate the Ravens
well because they're the Browns yeah originally
sure of course yeah we still hate them
because of that that's why we hate them and
they're in our division and they
the Browns go to the Ravens and win a
Super Bowl twice and
you know what I mean that's
does Ozzy Newsom still work for them?
yeah that's the problem he's the only guy
that went with Modell and he's been running
that team and he had just gotten the job
like we he was an ex player
he had just gotten the job as president
of football operations when we were in
Cleveland they leave town he goes
he got two Super Bowls do you know why
you guys never get
I don't know if you would want the attention
because I live through it it sucks you don't
want to be like oh the sports misery
capital of the world the reason why you guys
don't get the attention
is because you're not rivals
with New York City I think that that's
why we got what we did
because it was Yankees
Red Sox
and then like you know what it was
the Browns get a little bit of that because
I don't even consider it a rival anymore
the Pittsburgh doesn't even worry about us but
the Browns specifically
do kind of have that moniker
in the NFL kind of realm
because of that stealer rivalry and they won
six but you know what's crazy is
if you go back and count NFL championships
and Super Bowls combined
we still have more we have seven NFL championships
and I think it's so fucking ridiculous
that they don't count NFL championships
because the Green Bay Packers are the Yankees
of football oh yeah they've won in all
players they had a rough the 70s
and 80s were rough for them
all right when the Lynn Dickey
yeah years but even then they had James
Loft he did at one point they had James Lofton
and John Jefferson and they had nobody to throw
the ball to one of the worst
moves a player ever made
John Jefferson said he went from the San Diego
Chargers air choreo with Dan Fouts
Dan Fouts and he
signed for more money
to play in frozen fucking
Green Bay it wasn't Lynn Dickey
at that point I forget who
now it's before the magic man
whoever the fuck they had in between
they just went through a bad period
and
he said
if I stayed in San Diego
Jerry Rice would be breaking all my records
and I'm telling you he wasn't lying
no no doubt
he was unreal him and I remember
Wes Chandler
in that strike here where the Redskins won it
he fucking
still had over a thousand yards that's how much they were throwing it
those guys only played like
twelve games didn't they
less than that dude they played like
eight or nine
I want to say the Redskins were like eight and one that year
yeah because the scrubs played like four of them
right or whatever they call them
oh is that that year the scabs
scabs
I find
fascinating it's just how like certain
teams just
they get new coaches they get new owners
blah blah blah but they just still
there's this thing where they just
like the giants will always
just have a great defense
the Bears always have a good defense
but for the life of them the Bears
have never had a superstar
quarterback ever even Jim McMahon
Jim McMahon was a personality he was like
he was like the down town
Julie Brown of quarterbacks right
like more like a socialite
I would put him he couldn't jump
he couldn't carry you on his back in a fourth
quarter like an L way or a Montana he wasn't
that kind of a not they've never had that
Cleveland Otto Graham maybe was your last
superstar Bernie was tough man
Bernie Kosar okay yeah but
yeah really I mean we had
Frank Ryan a lot of people for Brian site
people forget Frank Ryan Brian site one and
MVP in 81 almost wanted to get an
82
Frank Ryan was great Frank Ryan I believe
through Brian site Rick Springfield
same guy telling
you same guy one in my head when I think
of him
Frank Ryan though a lot of people don't realize
I think Frank Ryan has the greatest winning
percentage of any starting quarterback
in the history of the NFL he came after Otto
Graham but he was winning Paul Brown they were
still winning titles like just winning titles
left and right all the time
we had Bill Belichick for one year
last time we won a playoff game
the last time we won a game
we beat the
New England Patriots and Bill Belichick
was our coach yeah the last time
94 I was at that game wild card
game in Cleveland stadium
the last time we have won a playoff we
beat hey who do you like who do you like
what do you think Peyton Manning
Wes Welker I love that man
two wildly veterans that's like
stable I think we're going to see of like
a 45 38 or Thursday
night you think so yeah
they can put it up all the more is going to put up
some points this year they're going to have to because that defense ain't
going to be as good as it used to be
we're going to see a ballgame yeah but it's
not that good
you think he can put up numbers like that I'm not saying he's not a good quarterback
because I think he's a good
I didn't believe in him forever and I was wrong
that playoff run man I think that playoff run showed it
but is he like he's going to go
fucking touchdown for touchdown against
Manning well I mean
maybe not all season long but in this game
you know what's funny about Manning is like
everybody was looking at him like he's a little fragile
China doll and now that he made
the season he's nobody's even thinking about it
like he keep one hit they were showing
his spinal cord this guy could never
walk again and now nobody's
nobody's talking about it
some of them are predicting him to win the MVP award this year
longest neck since
merton hanks
merton hanks is another good one
Steve grogan had to wear like two neck braces
just to pile them up yeah
well they have they have all that flesh between
the shoulder pad and the helmet
yeah like two or three of them just stacked on top of each other
we'll see yeah I think they're going to have
they're going to oh this is my prediction on
Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow is going to get cut and he's
going to go to the CFL he's going to become a
superstar up there like Doug Flutey did and he's
going to come back the end of his career
either with Buffalo with the Bears
really that's my prediction you think he's going to the CFL
CFL yes sir you heard it here tonight
on Monday Morning Podcast
yeah he'll be able to and be able to run around because
that feels like a hundred yards in both directions
right or meters whatever the fuck they
say it's 110 long
and I think 60 wide
see see what I'm saying just when you guys
thought I was a sports fan this is why I go to
him he fucking knows everything all right
need to stop being a nervous cunt Billy Redface
love the podcast as soon as
I have a need for any
of the services that advertise in your show I'll make
sure I go there so thank you
this may not rate Jesus get to
the fucking point I'm dying
a slow death working a day job
that isn't fun anymore
the money's great I'm 32 and make
a mid-six figure salary but like
you I'm not really motivated by more
money I would much rather
okay I dream on a daily basis
he wrote that all like capital letters about
doing comedy full-time
all right J this guy's making mid-six
figures he's 32 years old
I'll trade you
you can have I got 45 minutes
you can take it right now give me the
mid-six figures I'm gone
stand up
improv sketch performing
writing producing I'd love to do it all
I'd love to do it all all the time
but the flip side of not
being motivated by more money is being
motivated by the fear of not having
enough see I'm a nervous cunt
as you would say
once you're making mid-six figures and you're
32 years old you're not nervous
you're also kind of rational
okay you like
that's why you try and start as young
as you can because you're stepping off a curb
rather than a fucking three-story building
at this point that you own and have
confidence in
I didn't start till I was 31
yeah no no no absolutely and what's his face
retired
Dangerfield and he came back I'm not discouraging
the guy I'm just saying that he's not
but I wasn't making mid-six figures I don't
think I would have jumped off the curve for
that right but he's look
he's not nervous that's what I'm
saying he's thinking rationally so anyways
he goes see I'm a nervous cunt as you
would say with the New Jersey mortgage
aka the land of high taxes bills
and a three-year-old daughter I can't bring
myself to cut and run from the corporate
country I work in my wife and I
have no debt other than the mortgage do that's
great that's great man
and we generally live below our income
level that's also great those are two
things you need to do which people don't do
anymore in the country you really need to do that
man but I don't think we live
at or below the income
that we'd have if I stopped killing
myself on a daily basis by commuting
to a fucking computer instead of
commuting to a couch with a laptop and a
giant cup of coffee just to work on comedy
ship I love shit I love how he's
romanticizing being a comedian
although he's kind of right
it's more coming out
your pajamas with a hangover
trying to figure out how to get that
fucking whatever you picked up that night out
of your hotel room
and then going downstairs
and having a greasy breakfast to fucking
anyways I have no frame
of reference to know how much money could
be made or how long it would take to make it
and I'm scared shitless that I don't
have the talent or the balls or both
to actually get paid to make people
laugh in spite of believing in
buh buh buh
alright my friends tell me to practice practice
comedy shit dude I can get right to the end of this
alright this is what you gotta do
you do both
don't quit your fucking job
this is what you do write five
minutes of material and go sign up for
an open mic and try stand up comedy
okay
that way if you go up and you eat your
fucking balls and you hated it and it was
humiliating and you don't ever want to do it
again you're not going to be sitting at your cubicle
going what if you're going to be like no
I tried it I
bombed and I didn't like it now
if you go down there
and you go up and
even if you bomb
but you still like it
you know which is a major fucking
sign if you bomb
and you still like I want to come back
then just keep coming back
and keep doing that and just balancing it out
and I but I you need to have
a major talk with your wife and just say listen
this is going to kill me if I never try
this I but I promise to you
I promise you that there's going to be
no let down me as a husband or a father
here but there will be you know
a couple of nights
a month at first just
to see I just have to know
okay and
then if she goes while you're making
mid six figures and blah blah blah
blah blah that's when you start
pointing out all the morons
that you listen to on podcasts
that are making fucking money
in this business okay and I'm telling
you dude if I can do it anybody can
fucking find a place
well not anybody you know what I mean
if you have any sort of fucking talent you can do it
Jay I've watched you I've watched you
I'd like to say real quick before you say that
because he's mentioned money a couple times
he's like and then I don't know I don't have any
frame of reference about how much money I could make
if I could make any or
the one thing is you can't I don't
think you can worry about that going into it
because you know
you see them every day in the clubs
in LA and everywhere else
within five or seven years you could be
a millionaire and then you know what five or seven
years after that nobody wants to work you I mean
because it's a it's a it's a but then
but then that all goes down to what he
was talking about and it goes goes all down
to that living within your means
paying down your house not carrying credit card debt
like dude I
these fucking people
doesn't mean that you can be smart doing that
and then still not make it nine five years
after you were making a million you know what I mean
in this business in this business
but there's people in the NFL in the NBA
and in show business with their own TV
shows living paycheck to paycheck
because they're doing the exact same
fucking thing that you do just at a much
grander scale and everybody goes
fuck could you fuck that up and you know
most people saying that are doing it
at that level now
it's look if you if you're not
making any fucking money I get living paycheck
to paycheck but if
you know you don't need that extra pair
of sneakers you don't need another flat screen TV
you don't even need a fucking TV there's ways
you got to get out in front of it
if when you're young you got
to start building up a fucking nest egg
and you got to get on
the internet read some books figure out
how fucking evil
the game is so you at least know how
it's played so you can like
take on as little water as
you can and you can fucking stay afloat because
because
you know
there's a lot of people want to do other things
and they just got a ball and chain around their fucking neck
and
financially and they just got themselves in this thing
so if you're in that situation just immediately
start fucking dude I
would have a yard sale and just start selling shit
down size in my life and if I had to take
two years off from fucking
living the American dream
and just paying myself down
and getting out of that fucking debt I would do it
and I would start over again
because that shit will fucking keep you up at night
and I mean this guy talks like he's like
you know he is getting money and everything
but what I'm saying is like
just be aware of the idea of the money
of it isn't why because
you got it you got it
making mid six figures and what he's doing
95% of the times you can't go
backwards usually what probably what he does
for a living at once he hits 150
year the next step is
165 to 200 year that's
not the formula in stand-up comedy you can make
150 to 2 years in a row
and guess what by year 4 you're making
45 no but this is the great thing about stand-up comedy though
or you can make 2 million
no but what's great about stand-up comedy though
is you're never unemployed
you're never unemployed
you're never employed
unless you want to
unless your ego gets in the way
where like say you know you was selling
selling out clubs
you know so you're just coming in doing Thursday
through Saturday I'm not doing the Sunday show
if it starts to taper off and they want you to do the Sunday
show and you refuse to do it you start doing
that shit rather than being like I got to get it going again
then then you can get yourself in fucking trouble
but like
you know I don't know how actors
do it I don't know how musicians do it
that shit's fucking hard but being a stand-up comic
when you start you know
you've established yourself
you've made a name for yourself
if you never take your foot off the gas pedal
and you just keep pushing yourself
and you keep doing that like
you can have the closest thing
to job security but even in his world
dude like they could downsize
they could fucking kick him out
and then he's at that weird age so dude
this is my advice don't quit your job
but I would definitely just start doing it
and there's nothing wrong if you
end up because you like doing it
or you start a sketch group with your friends
and just have fun
and don't listen to any other comedians
who are saying like you're taking my stage time
it isn't their stage time
it's an art it doesn't belong to anybody
it's supposed to make you happy
and other people happy when you do it so that's what I would do
alright so good luck to you sir
you're not a nervous cunt
you're a fucking normal human being
stop being hard on yourself
so there you go there's a podcast for this week
me and Jason Lawhead we're going to be
at the boulder theater
I believe that's the name of it
I can't even wait to say that word when I get there
that's like a voice over's dream is boulder
that can go from like a beer commercial
all the way to like a murder mystery show
like
in that quiet town of boulder
it was murder or you could be like
you know the Rockies
the cold water boulder
you ever watch that shit
when they sit there and
murder mystery shows
that guy just goes
it was a quiet town
that's my dream job
the gazebo
but the underbelly
I want to do that every day
but on that quiet night
the town did a murder
I thought that stopped dude
this wasn't supposed to happen in this town
a town where they keep the doors unlocked at night
yeah
you knew your neighbor
people sat on porches
drinking new tulip
boulder's the perfect name for
that's a voice over's dream
boulder colorado september 4th
pikes peak center
colorado springs on the 6th
look for me and jason where we're going to be looking for a tailgate
if you guys have any information
if you throw it down and you do it right
and you got some extra brisket or something
and I'll be cheering for the Broncos
because all the years I cheered against them
when they were playing the actual browns
I'll be cheering for my division
and I will definitely be cheering for the Broncos
because I've been so mean to Peyton Manning over the years
and now you get that thing
where you're getting sentimental because he's in the final third
and then you don't
that's like Dr. J. I didn't hate him as much
magic
same with me with Michael
I hated Jordan because he killed us
and as he got older I'm like I'm gonna miss that guy
yeah I'm gonna see that guy
that'll never happen with LeBron
dude if LeBron
no going to the Lakers
oh it was a joke over there
dude if he goes to the Lakers
and that championship is celebrated
then you know what they should do
they should literally have
the pregame for that
should literally be like eighth graders
playing first graders in tackle football
and then doing
long fucking
interviews with the eighth graders
when they won talking about coming together as a team
and all that type of shit
like who go to the Lakers
when wear some stupid number like 49
or something you know what I mean
it'll be just the worst
it's what sports is becoming
and you know what I saw some more on
was trying to say that Pylon teams
are not a new thing
it was so dumb
he's trying to sit there saying like talking about
like those Laker teams in the 80s
and Celtics like dude those teams were built
built
yeah through trades and drafts
like Magic and James Worthy sat on a yacht
during the off season going hey man
wouldn't it be great if we all played in the same team
fucking moron
this guy had the top 10 sports myths
and he tried to say that that was his
but Pylon teams were sports myth it wasn't
and go back and look at the teams that didn't win it in those
areas that were built
I watched NBA Hardwood classics
a couple weeks ago they had the 1985 All-Star game
on the Milwaukee Bucks had four guys
on the Eastern All-Stars
they won seven straight 50
win seasons all built through the draft
and trades and this is what the guy was
saying though his justification that they were
Pylon teams despite the fact nobody
piled on was that in the
in the 80s
the Lakers, the Celtics, the Sixers and the
Pistons were the only ones who won championships
everybody else was without
he goes so it was it was good
for the league and that's a complete bullshit
because what they didn't realize was that
despite the fact that the Bucks never came
through they had Sidney Moncrief
Jack Sigma, Terry Cummings,
Paul Pressey
Jack Sigma was on the
Sonic before but no he came to the Bucks
in the mid 80s, Sonic he was in
he was the
he came to the Bucks
Back then, back then you had
blockbuster trades
like when Moses Malone went to the Sixers
there would be an occasion
where Karim went to the Lakers
but there wasn't like
like what happened in Boston
overnight we went from the worst team
in the league to winning the championship
and we fucking go
we got Kevin Garnett for nothing
from Kevin McHale
that should have been investigated the same way
the way the Lakers got
Paul Gasol and Jerry
Jerry West was with fucking
was that who it was was with the fucking
yeah, Grizzlies
both those trades were complete
behind enemy lines
bullshit and then we got Ray Allen
that's why I wasn't upset when Ray went to
Miami I was like well dude that's how we got him
he wasn't ours he wasn't a Celtic
I still look at him like he's one of the great
the greats that played
for the organization but it's a different
thing where
he was like you become like a mercenary
like they just they're bringing you in
a couple weeks ago LeBron had
there was this big news that he tweeted
this is gonna add another hour to the podcast
a couple weeks ago LeBron had this big news
where he tweeted out his top three players
all the time some big publication
tweeted at him like hey LeBron
you've never talked about that
so everybody's on the edge of their seat
so he named and I'm not gonna be mad
at the list in a way because it's hard
it's so subjective three players really
he said Larry Bird which I thought that was pretty cool
Bird's the greatest small forward in the history
of the game I don't know if I'd put him on the greatest three list
he said Michael Jordan
yeah that's great that's easy and Dr. J
I love Dr. J that's great
maybe that's he's not
I tweet back to him I go really can't
how do you leave Kareem
off the list I go to guy one
six titles one of which in Milwaukee
to boot
I go that's kind of like a guy winning one
in Cleveland
wow
that'd be like if somebody won one in Cleveland
is what I said I said he won one in Milwaukee
to boot how many have they won since
that'd be like somebody winning one in Cleveland
that's what I tweeted at him Jesus
cross very clever way of saying
thanks for leaving buddy
exactly so I
like Dr. J because
this is why because big thing with me is
changing the game yes
and that's fine and I'm fine with that
I'm not mad at his list I'm just saying how do you leave Kareem off
Kareem changed it
well that's the thing if I only had
basketball because of Kareem
if I only had three I would have to pick three guys
who changed the game so it would be Jordan
it would be Dr. J
and then I would have to be somebody else
from the 60's like
Russell I mean I mean you could
Oscar was it Oscar Robinson who scored all the points
yeah Oscar was great I mean
people don't realize how great Bob Pettit was
I mean Bob Pettit was a
I know that there's somebody from that era
because that's one of those things
with like stand up where you had like
like what Lenny Bruce did
first of all you had the vaudeville guys
whoever the first guys to do that
then you have what Lenny Bruce did
then you had what Pryor did
because the genius is
at such a level that it's
you can't surpass it
they almost take it to the end
I would say like James Brown
James Brown
the music that he made
there's been a zillion funk bands
after him but nobody ever took it to another level
and I still think Jabbar
I don't know how you can leave Jabbar off any list
he changed the game he changed it
he won six titles magic never won one without
an oldest player ever to win
how did he change the game he changed the game
but well first off they outlawed dunking
right but they did that with Will Chamberlain
in the NBA too though
no because of uh
well here's how he changed the game
both ends of the floor he was Russell
Russell couldn't do what Jabbar did
on the offensive end
you can say Will Chamberlain yeah he was dominant
but because they moved
Jabbar away from the basket Chamberlain
couldn't do anything away from the basket
Jabbar developed the sky hook from 20 feet
out and he was
he was Russell on both ends of the court
and Russell couldn't play offensively like Jabbar
could it's not even close
Jabbar the fact that he won oldest man
ever to win a finals MVP award
the guy won the NBA
he won the NBA finals MVP at 38
I mean come on man
