Ikea, tip of the week.
Do you like to get a gift?
You can count on us.
Because until April 15th, Ikea family members get a free children's menu
at the purchase of a warm meal for adults.
If not the greatest.
At least I feel he's the greatest.
For my money.
Whatever that means.
Whatever that fucking expression means.
For my money, the greatest drummer of all time.
Rockin' rockin' road drummer.
John Henry Bonham.
Melvin, dick, dick, dick.
My voice is shot.
My voice is shot from screaming jokes here in Boston.
Bill, why do you scream your jokes?
Because I don't know how to write jokes.
When you don't know how to write jokes, you just get loud.
And that's what it is that I do.
And I will continue to be loud until somebody shushes me.
Yes, so one day after John Bonham's death, in an honor of him,
why don't you go out tonight and drink less than 34 measures of vodka
and try to sleep on your side instead of on your back at your best friend's castle.
And when he's down the hall muttering some occult shit
with his 16-year-old girlfriend,
you won't have to worry about drowning in your own fucking vomit.
What a way to go.
What a way to go.
Clichéed way to go.
You know?
But it was original when he did it.
Was it at that point?
Did Keith Moon die that way?
Jimi Hendrix really didn't die that way, did he?
I thought he was strapped to a gurney and started puking.
And then they were just like, the French people were just like,
oh, I think it's, was that supposed to be a French?
I had to stop myself right there.
Was that really going to be a French accent, Bill?
Oh, right.
That's not French.
How the fuck do you do French, Bill?
You only took fucking nine years of it in high school.
How the fuck do you do a fake French accent?
I don't know.
I don't know what to tell you.
I'm still here in Boston.
Fucking Boston, Jude!
I'm still here in Boston.
I'm at my parents' house.
And you know what that means.
You know what it means when you stay at your parents' house.
It means one and one thing only.
Well, it means a lot of things,
but we're only going to talk about one thing at this point.
It means that you don't have,
you don't have internet access.
If you do, maybe it's dial-up.
You don't have any.
Right now I have server not found.
So what I have ahead of me, everybody,
is I have to go one full fucking hour.
I can't read any of your shit.
Unless my mom comes back
and I can find out what her password is.
Her fucking password is 18 numbers.
I'm not even kidding you.
It's like fucking nine, 11 zeros, four sevens.
I have no idea.
What's the deal with parents and no internet?
Yeah, so I've been here and
my parents are actually trying to get,
I still have some shit from my childhood here.
They're trying to get me to take it.
I want you to go up in the air
and I can look and just, whatever is up there that you want,
I want you to take it
because I'm throwing the rest of it out.
I'm laughing, going, there's nothing up there that I want.
I don't give a shit.
Just go up there.
Just go up there.
I want my football cards.
That's all I want.
My Dan Marino rookie cards.
Eric Dickerson, I collected hardcore from 77 to 83
and I would have kept collecting,
but somebody made fun of me
because by 83 I was in my freshman year of high school
and I had mentioned to somebody that, you know,
that I had already gotten all the football cards for that year.
You know, because at that point my paper route,
I had a paper route.
Yes, I did.
I still rode a bicycle.
Just let me paint a picture for you.
Okay, big reddish orange Afro riding a beach rambler
with white wall tires,
this big Pee Wee Herman bike with white wall tires,
fucking insanely giant tires.
Like if you went fast enough and slammed on the brakes,
it sounded like a car.
It went,
people thought it was the shit.
No, they didn't.
Nobody liked me, right?
So anyways,
I had paper route money people.
I had been doing the paper route.
I have from third grade to freshman year in high school.
I got up every fucking morning
because there's no day off with papers.
Have you noticed that?
Even on Christmas,
when you wake up, right,
you walk by your children and that woman that you married
and you got your robe on, you know,
tied nice and tight
so your fucking Hogan doesn't spill out.
It's a holiday.
Put your junk away, Dad.
What the fuck, right?
And you walk to the front door.
There's the paper.
What do you think it got there?
Well, nowadays,
it's probably thrown there from a car,
out a car window by a 40-year-old.
All right, but when I was young,
all right, it was still delivered by children.
Yeah, it was great.
Back then, they had paper boys.
Then the broads had to come along.
Well, what about paper girls?
Why can't we do that awful job?
You know?
Typical fucking broads.
Oh, this is early.
Am I already going to say that?
Six minutes in.
Let me tell you something about these fucking ladies.
You know,
the funny thing about feminism
is they sat there.
Sometimes you just,
you got to really look,
you got to really examine what you're asking for.
It's kind of like gay people
pushing for the right to get married.
It's like, do they have any fucking idea
what they're signing up for?
You know?
They're so wrapped up
in being treated the exact same way as heterosexuals,
which they should be, right?
I'm not giving you a rough time there.
Twinkle toes.
You should be, okay?
But there are some advantages of being gay.
One of them
is you don't have to get married.
You can have a life partner, right?
And at no point in the relationship
can the dude sit there, right?
He's got his head on his shoulder
playing with your chest hair.
You know?
And you can just feel the sadness of his head.
And then you go, what's the matter, Scott?
You know?
I don't know why Scott
struck me as funny.
What's the matter, Scott?
You don't seem like your normal self.
And he can be like,
where is this relationship going?
And then you're in that.
Then you're in that.
And then you got to get married
and you got to put all your shit on the line, right?
Well, let me ask you this, gay guys.
What if Scott is a fucking bum?
What if he sucks at math?
What if he's not an earner?
You ever think about that?
During your parades?
Have you ever thought about that?
What if he's a fucking loser?
Loser? Huh?
Then what?
And then three years later,
you're under a lot of stress
because you got to fucking support his ass, too.
You don't have time to go to the gym
and keep your abs all in shape, right?
And all of a sudden you get a little doughy.
A little doughy, right?
He's a guy.
He totally judges people
by how they look in a tight shirt, right?
He fucking walks out on you.
Walks out on you,
takes half your shit,
and now you got to pay alimony
for a goddamn man.
Don't you ever think about that?
Well, you should.
Alright, don't fucking do what.
Why, you know?
Oh, that would be great.
Is it common law marriage?
Or do they not even recognize that
because you're both either women
or both guys?
I mean, the fucking advantages of that
is just, it's incredible.
You know?
It's almost worth the rejection.
Wouldn't you say?
Oh, whatever. Go fuck yourselves.
Alright, I got an hour to kill here.
What am I in? Oh, nine minutes in.
Oh, Jesus.
Um...
So anyways, I'm here at my parents' house.
So they tell me to go upstairs.
Go upstairs into the attic
and whatever you don't want,
whatever you want, take, whatever you don't want,
leave behind.
And I'm thinking, you know, I'm not a pack rat.
I'm not one of these hoarders.
There's not going to be anything up there.
Dude, the shit that I've...
First of all, the shit that my parents kept.
They kept everything.
They had my first...
My first concert T-shirt.
I saw Judas Priest on the Turbo Lover Tour.
Docking, opening up.
And I bought a Judas Priest concert T-shirt
that had the three-quarter baseball sleeves.
And it was a cheap piece of shit.
So the elbows fucking ran out.
War out after a while.
So I decided I was going to cut the sleeves off,
like all the potheads at school.
And I completely fucked it up.
Because the sleeves went all the way up to the neck.
And in my head,
you know, I've never been good
at visualizing
like proportions.
I just don't see things correctly.
Like I look at the stove.
The front of the stove to me is near the wall.
Like I always view a stove like I'm standing behind a car.
So that's the front.
And the burner close to you,
that's the trunk.
I've never been...
That's why when I try to put shit together,
something at Ikea and I try to put it together,
I have a problem
because I view it in this dyslexic way.
Or whatever.
So
So I basically
just completely forgot what I was talking about.
What the fuck did I go to a stove?
I was in the attic.
Let's try to work our way back here.
God knows we got the time.
You know what? I don't know.
I was going up the ladder.
Couldn't have been that interesting.
You know something when the speaker can't remember
what he was talking about?
Is it really worth finishing the rest of the story?
I gotta ask you.
Huh?
What are you judging me on? Your car with the fucking crack dashboard?
Anybody got one of those?
You know?
Just from the elements. Your piece of shit car.
The fucking dashboard starts cracking.
Remember that in the old cars?
It started looking like a pussy with like fucking insulation in it.
You know?
Slit. Right down the middle.
Then you put your weed in there.
Man.
Cops will never think of looking here.
So anyway, so I walk up the ladder.
Oh, I know. I was talking about the Judas Priest thing.
Yeah, trying to cut the stupid t-shirt off.
And I actually, I cut all the way up
except, you know, the collar. I cut everything off
except for the collar.
So it basically ended up looking like a Freddie Mercury.
Something Freddie Mercury would wear.
I could never wear it again.
And for some reason I still have it.
So I go up there and I see it.
And I'm like, holy shit.
That's the first concert I ever went to.
I can't throw that out.
Despite the fact it's unwearable.
The shit I found up there.
Iron Maiden. Everything was a tank top too.
Because it was the 80s.
So none of it.
It's all too small for me and they're all tank tops.
Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Concert t-shirt from the In Step Tour
when I saw him in July of 1989
at Great Woods
out in Mansfield, Massachusetts.
June of July.
He headlined a blues festival and I went to that thing
and I bought a concert t-shirt.
Like a douche. Rather than just getting the t-shirt.
All right.
Because it was an XL which still fits me.
But back in the day it fit me
because I was lifted.
Remember the 80s too. What do you mention?
That's what it was all about.
Nobody cared what you curled with.
Nobody cared what you were squatting.
It was all about what do you mention.
For the record.
For the record. Most I ever put up was 225.
I put up 225 once kid.
Dude fucking
Sully works out with that.
Yeah well he's fucking 6'3".
I weigh a buck 65.
I put up 225 once. Go fuck yourself.
All right.
I'm still one of my few accomplishments
that I still look back on.
And it makes me psyched.
Every year when I watch the NFL Combine
and they do the you know
one of their things is to see how many times
you can bench 225.
Just the fact that I put it up once.
Just the fact that I could be at an NFL Combine
and put it up once
very slowly.
I guess they would figure out on the first rep.
I was going to say for the first rep
they'd be like all right let's see what this kid got
and by the second one they'd be like all right
but now when I really think about it
I put up 225 really slowly
and my buddy was standing over me
ballbag handing him my
hanging in my face right, you remember that?
Remember that?
How homoerotic is it to have your
friend come over and spot you on the bench
in the 1980s
with his Larry Bird shorts?
Hahahaha
Hahahaha
Come on push it up!
I'm trying to
I'm trying to
but your balls are in my face
yes
I am at my parents house and yes I did
just scream that
anyway so I go up the ladder
hey
we're almost at 15 minutes
alright that's a quarter of an hour here
so we go, I go up the goddamn ladder
into the attic
alright, oh you see what I did
I was already up there, I was already up in the attic
now I started over again like one of those
reality shows
don't you hate when they do that shit
they'll sit there
and they'll do that stuff like
they're like building like the chopper
everything was going great
and then the carburetor doesn't fit
hey Mikey the carburetor doesn't fit
we mean the carburetor doesn't fit, doesn't fit
well I hope dad doesn't find out about this
oh what the fuck doesn't fit
then they go to commercial
then they come back
and then the guy goes you know everything was going great
then the carburetor didn't fit
my Mikey carburetor doesn't fit
you know how they do that shit
yes Bill we know
we know how they do that shit
stop trying to kill time
be a fucking man, plow through this story
believe in your comedic abilities
that another story will come to you afterwards
alright
let's go, let's fucking plow ahead
Stevie Ray Vaughn
concert t-shirt
alright
sleeveless tank top
with fucking the pit stain still in it
fucking I don't know
how long ago
iron maiden
piece of mind
fucking tank top, I did not go to that tour
I just bought that
I'm gonna take pictures of all these
and then dude I gotta tell you something
there was a pair of Boston Bruin
shorts
alright that weren't even Larry Bird shorts
these were fucking booty shorts
I'm gonna take a picture of these
because I can't believe that I actually wore
these fucking things
these goddamn things
I guess I was like you know
10-15 pounds lighter
there's no excuse because I was still the height that I'm at
and that they were made out of
that sweat pant material
so they were like loose fitting
I gotta take a picture of those
I had a couple of pairs of those
remember those polyester
coaching shorts
those bike shorts
they weren't like Lance Armstrong
bike shorts they were
that was the name of the company
and every coach used to wear them
and they were like
they were the precursor to Spandex
they were polyester
and they had that really
wide waistband
all the fatties used to wear them
or the guys who actually
did squats because nobody did squats
in the 80s it was all about the upper
body
and then summer came along and you walked around
your Larry Bird shorts with two little pencil legs
coming out and you were absolutely gigantic
on top
and then one of those muscle magazines
finally addressed it saying
the reason why you gotta start doing squats
is because you can't shoot a cannon out of a canoe
I remembered that
did you Bill?
yeah I did
so I found all my football cards
and now I got all this
is there anything more depressing
than going through that type of shit
it's fucking unreal
you start looking at stuff
you remember where you were
girls you had crushes on
but never made a move on them
you know
you start thinking man if I could
just go right back to this time here
I would do this, this, this and this
I found a camera bag up there
I bought this fucking camera
because I thought I was going to get into
taking pictures and this is when you actually had
to fucking take a picture
it was film
you had to deal with your SHUT UP
right?
what speed is the film and all that type of shit
take the lighting I had no idea
should I use the flash?
should I not use the flash? you had to use your brain
it's kind of like today
you know
with GPS
today you had to read a map
you know
before the map you had to look up at the stars
we just keep getting dumber
now you don't have to just point and shoot
right?
I really sound like an old guy
you just have to think
so anyways
I look into the camera bag
and it's from two family trips
in 1980
and then another one from 1982
and I'm thinking these are going to be awesome
because I'm going to have to see what my family looks like
but what sucked
was all I did was I just took pictures
of inanimate objects
so other than the occasional car
you really can't tell what year it is
because I got a picture of the Washington Capital
picture of the White House
that still looks the same
Disney World
Thomas Jefferson's fucking
Plantation House
hey black people who listen to this
do you find it weird
that
that white people will go to
like Thomas Jefferson's house
you know
isn't he considered like
the other honorary white boy
right up there with Abe Lincoln
Abe sets you free
but didn't Thomas Jefferson
he said something
he wasn't ready to commit
he's like yeah I think slavery's bad
I think I'll have a few and bang a couple
you know
but you know if you really want to discuss the
subject you know yeah I don't think I'm for it
can you please
put me on the
ah fuck what bill is he on
is Thomas Jefferson on a bill
oh they put him on the $2 bill
didn't they
now what would they say in there
because then they got the expression queer is a $2 bill
queer used to be a word
for gay people
so what were they saying that he was actually gay
is Thomas Jefferson a homosexual
that would be fucking hilarious
that would be hilarious if they somehow
that would be classic of like nowadays
how they do that shit
new evidence shows
that Thomas Jefferson may have been
a homosexual
yeah I love when they do that shit
it's like you mean that guy who died over 200 years ago
or like 200 years ago
that guy
160 years ago whenever the fuck he died
where did you find this new evidence
ah we actually
found a pair of male
trousers that had his semen on
and they weren't his pants
how do they do that by the way
how do they find out about you
I think I've asked this before on the podcast
how the fuck did they figure out
like something from 400 years ago
new evidence shows
that the Vikings may have not been
the first white people to come to North America
you know
some oceanographer found a piece of driftwood
from a boat from like the 12th century
or something
can you imagine being that smart
that something like that is like
that exciting to you
like you find this old piece of wood
you know and to me I would just look at it
and be like you know what I'm going to do with this
I'm going to do one of those things
where like Bobby Flay does
we just throw it on the grill
and you put the burger on top of it
you know that's what I'm going to do with it
and they actually see it and they can figure out
what year it was from
and that's what they always do
they always find like some sort of DNA on it
this was actually used as a murder weapon
in the great
and the Haas tribe
the what tribe
the Haas tribe
there was a tribe that existed
between 29 BC
and 29 and a half BC
I can't imagine being that fucking intelligent
I can't imagine you guys
actually needing me to tell you
that I'm not that intelligent
so anyway so I go up to
I'm up in the attic people
I'm still in the attic on this podcast
this podcast is 22 fucking minutes old
I'm up in the fucking attic
so I found a pair of Boston Bruins
booty shorts
fucking booty shorts
I found a hoodie
alright
a bud man
hoodie
does anybody remember bud man
it was like a superhero character in the 80s
you know
he had like the Batman sort of mask
went all the way down over his fucking nose
and he was sort of fat
he was bud man
he could fly
and he was all about drinking Budweiser
I have a white hoodie with bud man on it
I got a
Morton Downey Jr
fucking
sweatshirt
because he took that show on the road
he took the show on the road and I went there
and I saw it live
and he had all these plants in the crowd
and everybody was going up there screaming at him
and he's like let me tell you something you motherfucker
and he was smoking cigarettes
and I was sitting there screaming
in the crowd
like the white trash piece of shit that I was
I got a Morton Downey Jr sweatshirt
what else did I see up there
I had a Boston Celtics
1986 World Champion
sweatshirt
I mean t-shirt
and then I had another one
any Boston people remember this
1986
New England
home of the champions
and it had
the Celtic emblem
the Patriots emblem
sorry and the Boston
Red Sox emblem
we actually had the nerve to call all of them champions
because the Celtics won the NBA championship
the Patriots
won the AFC championship
and then proceeded to get
raped by the
85 Bears
and then the Boston Red Sox
won the AL
won the pennant
the American League championship
and then we blew game 6
of the fucking World Series
so and that year
they had a parade
for the Celtics I went to that
the championship parade hammered out of my fucking mind
and I actually told those
I actually did a tour of the city of Boston
I made a video and I tell that story
and then they also
went down to
government center
they actually had a parade
they didn't have a parade
they had Red Sox appreciation day
that's how sad
the state of affairs was for Boston sports back then
if you just made it to the championship
even if you blew it
we still appreciated it
and I went down there and government center
for Red Sox appreciation day
and believe it or not when Bill Buckner came to the podium
he got a huge round of applause
I think I can't tell
because we were still stunned
or the kind of people who would actually
go down to Red Sox appreciation day
are not the kind of people who would
boo
you know
sure was a bunch of librarians
I appreciated them
but I really just wanted to skip school
when I really think about it
all those motherfuckers
I had a good four year hangover
after that
where I just really couldn't
totally
give in to
rooting for that team again
sort of like
someone who had their heart broken
isn't that sad
I had my little sports heart broken
you know and then next year they fielded
another team and they were like hey Bill
you want to come down to the ballpark
and I was like no it's too soon
it's too soon
I remember one time Wade Boggs
they were making some sort of
fucking improbable run
to win in the division
and they won a couple of games
and after it he was
he was pleading with the crowd
he's going believe
believe
and fuck you Wade
you douche
fucking Wade Boggs
and what happened you still didn't win it
and then you left
and you had to win one there
you cunt
fuck do you get off saying believe
you son of a bitch
after 1986
where do you get off saying believe
oh I wanted
to slap that red beard right off his
fucking face when he did that
actually I didn't
I was actually excited when he did it
but now looking back on it it fucking annoys me
because he was basically being the girl
no no no I don't
I was with my old boyfriend that's totally over
I love you you're awesome
and right as you give in to her
she fucking yanks to rug out from underneath you
oh speaking of which
the fucking red socks
magic number
I think it's down to three
it's down to three
and then we're in the playoffs
we're in the playoffs
well everybody up here who's sitting here
looking out
you know just
having an inability
to look at the glass being
one sixteenth full
I don't know what your problem is
stop focusing on the fact
that we were up by nine games
and now we're up by half a game
we have a hundred and eighty million dollar
behemoth
of a fucking team to get the job done
I think we're gonna get the job done
alright we're gonna go out there
we're gonna win
we're gonna go on a roll
and then we're gonna beat the tigers
and then we're gonna go into Yankee stadium
we're gonna be I don't know what's gonna happen
something I don't know
the fuck everybody up here is all goddamn miserable
Dan Shaughnessy is in his fucking hey day
he can write these articles in his sleep
you know what I'm gonna hit pause right now
I'm gonna read you the fucking article
Shaughnessy wrote today
alright hang on a second
alright I'm back
just like that with the wonder of hitting pause
I am back little winded
from running up and down the stairs
so anyways
fucking Red Sox
won the second game last night
Patriots lost to the Buffalo Bills
alright
which I gotta be honest with you
if you knew anything about sports
wasn't really a shocker
alright
how am I this fucking winded from going up and down stairs
I was sitting there talking to
this comedian
Dan Smith who opened for me
at the Wilbur
this past weekend
and I was going to what do you think about the Bills game
he goes I don't know it makes me nervous
I like our offense I don't like our defense
I'm like yeah they let up 400 yards
to the fucking dolphins
and they didn't look great last week
and Chung is out I just I don't like it
we used to win championships
when we won games 20 to 17
and this bullshit where
you score 35
we don't care we're gonna score
40 that just reminds me
of the San Diego Chargers
and the Miami Dolphins
way back in the day
and they never won anything
they never won championships
so but for some reason
this guy Dan Shaughnessy
who works in sports
does it for a fucking living
never saw this loss coming
so this is what he writes
it's a stressing day
that's for sure
alright
we are reeling
our world no longer makes sense
who is he writing for
he's like a fucking
who's that guy made everybody drink the Kool-Aid
and commit suicide
listen
we are reeling our world no longer makes sense
fucking like 90 days ago
we saw the Bruins when their first Stanley Cup
in 40 fucking years
alright we've won seven championships
in seven fucking years
we've run the table cover of ESPN
the magazines calls this title town
this is the greatest
it's ever been
and this guy is still writing articles like this
I don't think
Dan Shaughnessy can ever be happy
he goes to Patriots
can't even beat the Buffalo Bills
anymore
we're two in one
we're two in one
we're two in one
we're two in one
and our defense has been fucking
shitty for three years
we beat the Bills 15
fucking times in a row
eventually, yeah, they're gonna beat us
he goes in Skiddish September
in a Skiddish September
of a cataclysmic
redsox free fall
by the way they're still in first place
we still had the Patriots over the Bills
it was right there with death
just as
I don't even know
is this a chick flick? Rick and Isla always had Paris
we for sure had the Patriots
over the Buffalo Bills
it was a sure thing
but now it's all
gone
I gotta tell you this
if you're ever in a plane crash
and you survive
and you're in the middle of the jungle
and you're in it's you and Dan Shaughnessy
I'm telling you right now
if you want to survive
you immediately either have to kill Dan
Shaughnessy and use him for food
he'd probably give you food poisoning
cause he's so goddamn negative
or just go
hey dad why don't you go over there
and gather some wood
we're gonna be hanging right here and just run
in the other direction
because he is not gonna say anything
this guy I swear to god
you could hit the lottery that day
and he could figure out a way to find out
why it's a fucking bad thing
alright
he's not taking anything into consideration
are you guys really buying
what the NFL is right now
the Buffalo Bills 3-0
the Detroit Lions 3-0
the fucking Oakland Raiders 3-0
do you really think that this is how it's gonna stay
honestly
do you really think they know
you don't find this eerily similar
to like the beginning of a baseball season when
and who would have thought
the Baltimore Orioles are in first place
Chicago Cubs coming out strong
you know
there was no pre-season
alright
defenses I mean they're out of shape
they're faking injuries they're grabbing hamstrings
they're falling down like they get shot
everybody and their brother is throwing for
400 yards
defenses they're gonna play themselves into shape
and stuff is gonna make sense again
it's gonna start
to come together but as far as the Patriots
goes
alright
who knows anything about football
has liked the Patriots defense
for the last two years
anybody
anybody who knows anything about football
when the Patriots are up by 21 points
aren't you still nervous
there's too much time left
dude our defensive backs
I don't even know what they were doing yesterday
they don't even bump the guy
they just let him run by
and then they just run behind him
you know
and everybody oh Brady
four interceptions
he hasn't done that since 2006
it's gonna fucking happen
to sit here and write this
gloom and doom article
this is what it is I don't buy it
I don't buy that Dan
Shaughnessy is this miserable
I think it's a shtick for the simple fact
that he's a tremendously successful
man
he's on ESPN he writes for the Boston Globe
you don't get that way
laying down on the mat in life
every time things don't go your fucking way
but he's teaching people how to be
losers that's why I can't
stay in his articles
you get knocked down
you get back up
like that Frank Sinatra song
just what makes that little
old ant
take he can move the rubber tree plant
everyone says
that he sucks
he can't fucking do it
and something else
something else he fucking
somehow fucking
did something positive
so fuck
you cunts
that's what life is all about
anytime you're trying to do something
you're trying to swim up river
against the stream
you gotta know in life there's gonna be
200 cunts on either side of the river
screaming at you saying you can't do it
they don't want you to do it
they want you to fail
cause they don't have the balls to jump in the river
that's what it is
alright I'm still a Red Sox fan
I'm still a Patriot
I still believe in them
they don't give a fuck
they've done great for the last 7 years
Jesus Christ
I remember one time when the Patriots won
the Super Bowl
or the Red Sox won the World Series
Dan Shaughnessy started the article
he goes I don't even know how to write this
article
oh can we all just pause
take a moment of silence
and say a prayer for Dan Shaughnessy's wife
you know that poor woman
Dan you want to go
apple picking today
nahhh
you're probably all gonna be brown
on the inside
unfucking believable
so congratulations
to the Buffalo Bills
how fucking cool is it that some white guy
from Harvard
is actually doing something
the whitest of white guys
is actually excelling
in sports
it's it's you know
you just don't see it
that's like he's like our Obama
when was the last time
somebody smart
you know
from a fucking Ivy League school
actually did something
I love asking questions like that here in the podcast
cause that's when the fucking stat guys
get all excited so they can fucking break out
their little stats
so anyway
so me and Paul Verzi last year if you remember
we did our little football pool
and we picked four games
a week
we just started this week
cause I don't bet the first couple weeks
you gotta see how everything's gonna settle in
you're a moron
if you're a gambler and you start gambling
you know
before two weeks into the season
you have no idea what's gonna happen
who would have thought the Kansas City Chiefs
were gonna be that bad you know
so I started out this year
and I somehow
managed to pick one game yesterday
I took the Carolina Panthers
I was drinking the
Cam Newton fucking
hype juice
I was drinking that shit right
I almost said Kool-Aid
but then I was worried because he was black that would be considered racist
so I switched to hype juice
that was the inner monologue
that was like behind the DVD
kind of shit you know
DVD monologue
and then
who else did I pick
I took the Jets
I was like Jets fucking giving three against the Raiders
the Raiders suck
all their fucking fans dress up
like they're in the Rocky Horror Picture Show
you know
like those are the scary ones
those aren't the scary ones
where they make up and have the neck tattoos
and they stab people who have 49er jerseys
those are the scary ones
you know
that's why they don't put them on TV
because the cameraman doesn't want to get stabbed
so they just show the fucking goofy guy
dressed like fucking Darth Vader
that other idiot
with the spikes in his shoulder pads
and he goes ehhh
grits his fucking teeth
what a fucking loser
I bet that guy can't even do a pull up
that's funny now is he'll probably come to a show
in San Francisco and beat the shit out of me
wearing that costume
and I gotta be honest with you
I will take that ass kicking
and I will find something humorous about it
as I lie in the fetal position
protecting my fucking organs
and then trying to move my back
quickly to protect my kidneys
um
what else
what the fuck was I talking about
I lost my train of thought
okay yeah so I took the jets lost that one
that was a win-win situation
either I was gonna win the bet or I was gonna watch the jets lose
um
who else did I take
I took the Falcons
Matt Ryan
I didn't know he had a sore knee
so I lost that one
and then tonight
I took the Redskins
I don't know why I took the Redskins
I just think Tony Romo is hot and cold
he fucks up
then he's awesome now he's due to fuck up
and that was one of the hardest games I've had to pick
Tony Romo
or Rex Grossman
you got Tony Romo
who has all the tools
Tony Romo is like Peter Brady
in that episode when he works at the bike shop
you know
and Mr. Martinelli
just goes like you got all the smarts
but something happens between
here and he points to his head
and he goes in here
and he does that Italian thing
you put your thumb between your middle finger
and your index
right there
because back then you could do shit like that
you know
they used to do all stereotypes back then
even with white people
they would break us down to nationalities
if you were a French guy
you'd be walking around with a beret
even though you were born in America
and you have a big baggett sticking out of your back pocket
right
you remember that shit?
used to call it character acting
now today they call it racist
um
so anyways
those were my picks this week so I'm trying to go
two and two
Paul Verzi of course went one and three
because I don't know what his deal is
there's nothing Paul likes better
than fucking
taking a team giving 12 points
I don't know the life of me
I don't know why he does it
but I want to send a special thank you card
to whoever taught him how to gamble that way
you know what pisses me off
is I fucking had a feeling about the giants
this is a classic gambler
I did
I didn't think they were going to win the game
but I was just like
I just got this fucking feeling
you know
now I got to give it up to Verzi
I think Verzi called it
fast but they're not durable
they got a bunch of willy
galtz on that team
so
that's the end of that boring part of the podcast
did you enjoy that how about that ladies
Jesus Christ
42 minutes in I'm going to have to go
with old topical shit
what else do I got
what else do I got you know what I got
I'm fucking flying back later on this
week I fly back out to LA
and I've actually
stuck with my airline so I got
bumped up to first class isn't that awesome
it sucks for people to follow me
on twitter
because they're not going to see
uh
you know they're not going to get to see me
tweeting about some fat bastard sitting next to me
I can't wait
this is the deal when you fly first class
you go on that plane starving
you don't eat for like three
days
so when they come
when they bring you all this shit oh it's great
it's great then they bring you the
sunday in the end
you know
you get to eat like you're eight years old and it's your fucking
birthday it's tremendous
you owe it to yourself
at some point in your life use your
miles whatever you got to do flying first
and don't do it for a three hour
four hour six hour
one of those six hour flights you're going to be
you're actually upset
when the flight ends
you know
speaking of that
you know I'm out here
in my hometown and I was driving around
I'm hitting all the spots you know
like people who move away from their home state
I think just about everybody
does this shit you basically
you come back
you're totally excited
you come back you buy a couple of t-shirts
from your of your home team
and then you just start hitting all these places
you used to eat at when you were in your
twenties and you could eat that way
and not put on nine zillion pounds
that's what I did
I went to the fucking town spa
pizzeria
stote massachusetts
you know I went to this fucking
ice cream place that I go to out here
where they got uh
it's unbelievable
this place I ordered a small dish
of ice cream I think they gave me more than
a pint of ice cream
you know
let me get toasted walnut fudge with jimmies
that's what they call
sprinkles up here jimmies
and I think they taste better
I don't know if they taste better up here
but I think the fact that I can just say jimmies
and somebody knows what I'm talking about
but they didn't have my flavor
so I had to go
I had to go with the chocolate chip
and nothing
people I get nothing to talk about
I'm literally sitting here talking about a cup of ice cream
and for summary oh there's the phone
there's the phone
oh Jesus somebody get that
I'm not answering that
um who's it gonna be
I haven't lived here in fucking 20 years
um
alright let's plow ahead what can I possibly
talk about next oh I want to thank everybody
who came down to the uh the wilbur
theater
in uh in boston massachusetts
four sold out shows
how's that for support
you know
I had dan smith opening up for me
uh buddy of mine I started out with
tony musketto
crushed it also
both of them killing it
friday night tony musketto
saturday night dan smith
both of them
perform here in boston all the time
so if you're in the boston area please check those guys out
and I want to thank those guys for killing it
uh in front of me
although I had to break dan smith's balls
he goes to me right
this is this is like
when somebody opens for you
you know if they're gonna sell merchandise
at the end of the show
the etiquette is you ask the guy
that you know you're opening for
is it okay if I sell some stuff
right
that's basically how it goes
that's what you're supposed to do
because there's some headliners out there that say
no I don't want you selling any stuff
I want to make all the money
right but you know me
I'm a good shit
I'm a swell guy people like me
you you're a lying sack of shit and everybody knows it
what movie
breakfast club
go fuck yourselves I know it was a bad impression
anyways
so uh he goes do you mind if I sell
anything I said daddy
sell whatever you want to sell
you know it's all good I'm happy to be
working for you
working with you Jesus Christ was my self esteem
alright
so you know what this son of a bitch does
he goes on fucking stage
and at the end of his show
he has a goddamn infomercial
about his fucking DVD
he starts saying all the proceeds go to the troops
and
anything that doesn't go to the troops
helps the fucking dying puppies
that are dying
because of the hurricane Katrina
I mean he just worked every fucking thing
in there I gotta admit it was a great little
hustle that he had going
I think he sold more DVDs than I did
so Dan if you listen to this
the answer is no
the next time we work together when you ask
if you could I didn't know you're gonna say you
fucking
given all the money to the troops
Jesus Christ
I really wanted to frisbee one of my
DVDs Adam when he said that shit
why the fuck didn't I do that
um alright so there's that what else
oh last night did anybody watch
Breaking Bad
this week's episode of Breaking Bad
and if you did did you happen to notice
a handsome
little fucking red bearded fellow
in that episode did you happen to notice me
I had a quick little seed in there
huh
who knew his lines
I did
actually if you guys can
if you can watch it this week it's the best
scene I've ever gotten to do
as an actor
and I actually feel funny saying that
as an actor as a
thespian
it's great I get to play a badass guy
you know
so you obviously know that I'm acting
so
I'm actually gonna check out the
episode today
just because I didn't
watch it last night I waited for the reviews
and if people were just like dude you sucked
I was I was gonna blow it off
but it seemed that people enjoyed it
so now knowing that they enjoy
I mean I would have watched it eventually anyways
but the embarrassment
if people didn't like it would have been brutal
and just FYI for everyone right now
who's gonna write me and tell me that I sucked
I know what you're doing okay
um
anyways
what the hell
I just got a weird text I'm sorry for the
infinimental divorce
well
jesus christ I can't read that online
alright alright here we go plowing the heads
yeah so please check out uh this week's episode
of break and ban if you're not watching that show
I'm telling you the uh first two seasons

a ton of shows out there there's a lot

I put all my money on it
you enjoying this show
so uh please check it out
please check it out and get caught up and then uh
watch season 4 because I actually got to get
into a couple of episodes which I still can't
believe I still cannot fucking believe it
um
so that's it
there we go did I do an hour
did I give you guys an hour
fuck what can I do now
how about I sing some campfire songs
actually I can't do that
because I never joined the Cub Scouts
and you know why I didn't
I didn't because I didn't like the uniform
and I was I just my
my gut told me
that if I went down to the bus stop wearing
that shirt and actually said
I'm a Cub Scout
I just really
I just really
I just saw the ass kicking coming
you know but what's funny now
is years later
I wish I went into scouting
even if I got molested in a tent somewhere
you know
just to learn how to start a fire without a match
all that MacGyver shit
I wish I went all the way up to Eagle Scout
you know what's great about being an Eagle Scout
that really helps you
if you ever get put on trial
upstanding said a city
it was an Eagle Scout
if you can throw that out there
nothing a defense attorney likes better than that
you were an Eagle Scout as fucking
dick gets hard good good what else
what did you make pies
I actually did that too sir
speaking of pies
I got an email from a fat guy this week
he says fat guy feng shui
I'm on my cell phone right now
trying to read this so please forgive me
please find it in your little
podcasting hearts
to forgive me oh speaking of podcasts
how about that great interview with Tom Green last week
huh how do you top that
that should be a question how do I
top that wonderful interview
with Tom Green how could I get
closer to this man I'll tell you
I can get closer September 30th
he's at the Wilba Theater
taping his one hour stand up
special and I'm telling you don't sleep
on this guy I know a lot of you thinking yeah
easy fucking he does a talk show
he's a TV staff
is he gonna be funny doing stand up
I've seen him live he's fucking great
please go down and support him
laugh your ass off at his special
because not only is he funny
he's a fucking great guy he really is
he's one of the good ones
so there you go at the Wilba Theater
here in Boston alright let's let's get on to fat guy
feng shui
alright Bill I wanted to let you know
fat people hate fat people too
I wanted to send you some thoughts
not too many from a
considerate citizen of fat America
yeah I've noticed
since I went off on the fat guy
on the on the airplane
I've had fat people
just tall people in general go I try
to be real considerate of how big
I am I try to make sure I get an aisle seat
I lean out in the aisle you shouldn't have
to deal with that and then actually
you know what's great about this now I
can't really make fun of fatties anymore
knowing that so many of them
they seem like decent people
how fucking
what kind of a backhanded compliment
was that you know I thought they were all pieces
of shit but it turns out most of them
most of them alright
alright here we go he says I'm a big
fat guy I'm usually the fattest
guy in the room no matter where
I go do you get intimidated
when when you're not the fattest guy
you know sort of like the toughest guy in town
all of a sudden goes to another town
realizes that somebody can kick his ass
and his whole world crumbles
anyways he says my whole family's
fat and I've been fat since
I've been born
not to make any excuses
I'm just naturally predisposed
to it and
I eat like a typical middle American
middle American
not vegetarian but not 24
7 beer and brats either
anyway I'm fat
and I just wanted to let you know
that not all of us fatties are
inconsiderate assholes the stereotype
of the jolly fat man has been replaced
by the selfish asshole
who's fat
when I fly which isn't frequently
I buy two seats nice
my sister is with me
we buy a row of three
and always bring along
our own seat belt extenders
yes they sell them
okay this is
this is hilarious and fucking sad
all at the same time
the plane only carries two to three
extenders and you never want to be
the guy who holds up the plane
because you can't buckle or worse
get kicked off
ah Jesus that's got to be embarrassing
oh my god this is this guy's killing
me right here this guy is this is a brilliant email
he's going to make me never make
fun of fatties again I'm actually he's
now I'm he's bringing me into
their world
he goes those things cost $80 but it's
worth $80 to avoid public
embarrassment right absolutely
they told me
to tone down the color of my hair
I would buy a fucking swimming cap
rather than have them stop the flight
just so you know
fat people like me don't get
to buy clothes in the same stores
as normal people yes I did know that
the selection slash styles suck
and they cost more we pay more
for bigger cars extra plane tickets
and bigger clothes among other things
I haven't done the math but I
figure we burn through
furniture faster too
it's the price we pay for the life
we lead even if it's not a
conscious choice believe me
no one wants to be fat
but that's the cost of doing business
this guy's fucking hilarious just
like how they are added there are added
cost to being a woman bras makeup
pills etc or gay
or being gay he writes
question mark chaps lube I don't
know or a parent or a
paraplegic or whatever not
that it's a disability
it's just our lot in life but
you know what I've accepted it
I live my life accordingly I'm
not an asshole who imposes on others
I stay to the back of any
pack make sure no one will ever
have to walk or sit behind me when
I can help it it's the fat guy
feng shui how do you
how do you dislike this guy
when I enter a room or a situation
I always ask
where do I fit in literally
and figuratively
whenever I
have to eat lunch with my work group
about 20 people and we're
seated at a long table I never
sit between the table in the wall
and I usually sit at the end
know why I don't want
I want to make as few people
uncomfortable as possible
I don't want anyone to have
to squeeze behind me to get out
and sitting between two people just
is them both ops or so I assume
Jesus Christ
this guy's like a fat Gandhi
when I have
to carpool with a group it helps to drive
or have shotgun because
then I'm not squeezing the other
people in the back seat the thing that makes
me hate fat people
capital letters hate fat people
is that they don't seem to realize that they're fat
they are impulsive
and selfish and don't seem to
consider that what a normal guy eats
that when a normal guy eats a giant turkey
leg at Disneyland it's
a lame and kind of
funny oh it's lame and kind of funny
but when a fat guy does it it's
disgusting or maybe they just
got fat and haven't figured it out
hey fatty don't sit there because
now everyone has to squeeze past you
I like this guy he's trash and fat people now
or hey don't act like you're entitled to
that to put your arm around your
airplane seat mate because it makes you
more comfortable for you makes it more
comfortable for you you asshole
he just keeps going here or hey
if you got to eat in public don't smear
barbecue sauce all over your face at the church
picnic or eat more than two donuts
in a sitting
parentheses airport and you know
what when I swim in public rarely
I keep my shirt on
until the second before
I get in the pool I don't ride the elevator
from my hotel room
and walk down the hall to the Hampton Inn
pool shirtless because
I'm a fat fuck and no one wants to see
that I used to swim with my shirt
on but somehow that's even worse
anyways
for what it's worth have a good week
thanks for the hilarity you know what
that guy's alright
you know what I bet there's more fat people
like that than there's not so
maybe I ought to lay off the
fatties for half a second
I'm just doing this just to fucking
you know
this is what this podcast is it's like
a smoker and every once in a while you just
you gotta you gotta
I don't even know what you gotta do you gotta throw a little
wet wood in there that's what that was
I think I'm gonna leave the fatties alone I think
they're actually really considerate people
I think I was wrong about it the entire time
see that now I'm gonna wait for the backlash
alright guys that's
58 fucking minutes I only read
one goddamn
email
is there an overrated in here
you know what let's hype my shows that I have
coming up
not this weekend
the next weekend
the weekend of October 8th
I'm gonna be at the improv in Irvine
Texas with me
and the wonderful the always
lovely Paul Verzi
Paul Verzi the New Jersey native
by the way
ask Paul what it was like to be Verzi
VIRZI ask him what it was like to grow up
in New Jersey because
he didn't grow up in New Jersey and has
an absolute disdain
for people from Jersey he hates Jersey
he calls it dirty Jersey he feels
he's a cut above despite the fact
that I believe when he opens
the windows to his
fucking living room he can actually see Jersey
you know
it's the classic shit everybody
every state hates the next state over
Georgia
the people of Georgia think they're somehow
less inbred than the people of fucking
Alabama alright
I gotta tell you I'm standing outside
that dog fight and from where I'm standing
up there on the Yankee bluff I gotta
tell you y'all look like your fucking your sisters
what do you think about that
is that enough to get you guys to
join sides again and maybe try to secede
from the union
you know something I missed all the college football
this week and speaking of college football
that weekend that I'm gonna be
in Irvine Texas is the week
it's the weekend of the
Red River rivalry game
Red River rivalry game RRR
alliterations motherfucker
alliterations alliteration
and I'm gonna be there
at the Cotton Bowl eating whatever
deep fried thing they make I'm gonna eat it
I'm going there and
I don't know who I'm gonna root for
because I love both teams which makes no
sense in the Tex, Arcana, Oklahoma
area of this country
what the fuck you mean you like both buddy
that's like locking the Yankees
and the Red Sox you gotta pick the side
you either a Longhorn
or you a Sooner
you're either gay or straight
you either like the Yankees or the Red Sox
either Democrat or Republican
go fuck yourselves I like both
I think the Sooners are obviously gonna win
you know Longhorns are rebuilding
they got another McCoy coming through
is he the real McCoy
ugh sorry
and with that fucking horrific joke
quite possibly the worst joke
that I have ever told on the podcast
is that it
do I come down too hard on Dan Shaughnessy
I actually love Dan I've been reading his shit
my entire fucking life
I love that guy I love
the Boston Globe and that type of shit
but I gotta tell you Dan if you're listening
for some reason your assistant is trying to get brownie points
and they splice together all the horrific shit
that I've criticized you about
for the love of God can you write a fucking positive article
you know
tell you what why don't you come on my podcast
and we'll talk about it
do a podcast select
you know what I feel right now
I feel like Bill O'Reilly after he trashes somebody
then invites him to come on this show
so he can yell at him more
I'm an asshole alright that's it
that's the podcast for this week
please come out and see me
Irvine Texas on the weekend of October 8th
after that I'm taking out
my passport I'm going over to Europe
I'm at the Leicester Square Theater
October 16th that show
is fucking sold out
and I want to thank Jimmy Carr
for helping me do it
Jimmy Carr major television star
over there in jolly old England
you know tickets were moving okay
and then he sent out a tweet about it
giving me some props so I gotta say thank you to him
and then after that I go over to
Denmark, Copenhagen
then I go to Oslo
then Helsinki and then I end up
in Stockholm Sweden
that's it alright now bring in a bunch of
DVDs over there ones that
play on your
European Betamaxes
or whatever the fuck you guys use over there
and I hope
I'm hoping there'll be no rioting
I hope the Euro is stronger
hope you guys all get some jobs
the whole fucking world
in the same goddamn situation
it's all because of these fucking banker cunts
for some reason that just they don't talk about it
you know did anybody
watch the Republican
national convention
where they had everybody debating
it was just an absolute exercise
in avoiding
the 800 pound gorilla in the room
and avoiding answering any questions
and I'm at the point now where I don't even get annoyed
by politicians
it's like they can't answer them
if they answer them honestly you get the convertible
ride in Dallas I'm 100%
convinced of that
cause there's no other reason not to answer those questions
they spent a fucking hour
talking about the economy
blaming Obama
which is what you do cause God knows
if there was a bunch of Democrats there
they would blame the Republican guy
right nobody brings up the banks
nobody brings up the fact that we're fighting
two fucking wars right now
and whether you think the wars are
right or whether you think they're wrong
they're costing a ton of money
we keep raising the debt ceiling
what the fuck are we doing
now is being reimbursed
those doctor fills
or those Oprah Winfrey shows
where they say
there's this spouse
the husband or the wife
and then their spouse
somehow is charging up
all the credit cards
and they have no fucking idea
that's how we're running the country right now
we're acting like that spouse that just goes shopping
and buys a bunch of shit
that you don't fucking need
to afford
and you just keep doing it
and when you max out a card you go out and get another one
I don't know how it's gonna happen
am I really gonna end with the gloom and doom
I should have just ended
on that last awful joke
but for some reason I thought about the convention
my favorite
dodging of a question
alright
was and they just got this crowd of idiots
who just will cheer
all you have to do
is go back to work
and they all fucking start
remember that Jim Florentine character
from CrankYankers
where Florentine was
joking doing it
these people are actually serious
by the way Jim Florentine has a fucking hilarious podcast
and he talks a ton about sports
so if I don't talk enough about sports
or just in general
please check out his podcast
but anyways
this was my favorite
um
my favorite dodging of a question
some but one of the guys running for president
he basically wants to
tax the rich
or impose some sort of new tax on the rich
so they ask him the question
they go well governor, senator whatever the hell he is
what do you consider rich
what's the number
500 grand a year
600 grand a year
a million a year
and his answer was
what a number on it
I mean this is America
I like to think
everybody should be rich
and then the crowd goes
yeah
what are you applauding
he didn't answer the question
he just said I wish
everybody in the crowd was rich too
and that just made them feel good
yeah I want to be rich
this guy understands my needs
you know
you say that we should pull out of Afghanistan
and then it's a losing battle
why do you think that
well listen
I just think it's really hot over there
and I don't think it's still the end of the summer
technically where I'm from
so I think that's too hot a topic
to discuss so
I just think everybody should have a cup of ice cream
I like ice cream
it's unreal
it actually became hilarious
and when I was watching it it reminded me
of why I don't go to church
because the same thing
as I just kept sitting there going
are you fucking kidding me
that's what I felt when I was watching that
it's the exact same feeling I get
when I go to church and I listen to these fucking stories
about a hedge talking to a tree
that has a bottomless bucket of fish
that's walking on water
you know I just can't get into it
you know who I think should host the debates
I think John McEnroe should host it
right
so we can just every 5 seconds
just go answer my question
the question jerk
that's all you need
but it's not fair
it's not fair
to want politicians
to answer questions because there's no fucking answers
you can't do it
there is no answer
how do you turn it around I don't know
you'd have to go down to the Federal Reserve
and ask them what they have
what they have in store for us
I have no idea
I am already microchipped
every time I begin
to answer something honestly
there's a slight electrical shock
sent to my liver
so I'm just going to keep saying
happy shit
and as always next election comes around
the guy everybody that everyone says is crazy
I'll be voting for
that's the thing
that's who I vote for
because I'm a moron
alright that's it
my apologies to Dan Shaughnessy
for trashing you for the 9000th fucking time
I'm going to start having dreams of your angry noodle head
coming at me
punching me in the face with a typewriter
from the late 70's
oh why don't we trash ESPN
while we're at it
those fucking guys trying to say this
Red Sox collapse is the greatest collapse
of all fucking
nothing would ever be as worse
as 1978
alright that was the worst
because the Yankees slit our throats
we beat them all year then they slit our fucking throats
and we hadn't won it
for almost a century
at that point they fucking blew it
and we let this little fucking
little pipsqueak hit a three run homer
that was fucking brutal
alright this shit they've won two world series
they've won two world series
in the last seven years
alright it's life
there's ups and downs
you know when it's going great
everything's going great
you know in life the second you go
everything's going great
your car is going to break down
something's going to happen
something has to balance it out
so it's really not
I guess mathematically it is
but emotionally what really counts
emotion it isn't
alright guys go fuck yourselves
I'll talk to you next week
